FOR SALE, Between nine and 10,000 Acres of Land,
Situate in the county of Frederick, and state of Virginia, being the greater part of Greenway Court Manor. Part of this tract lies on the river Shenandoah, between thirty and forty miles above its junction with the Potomac. The Shenandoah is capable of being rendered navigable, and the navigation of the Potomac is in a fair way of being completed to tide water which circumstances offer in a few years a water carriage to the flourishing towns of Georgetown and Alexandria, and to the City of Washington; from all which places the said tract is distant between seventy and eighty miles by land. The flourishing Borough of Winchester is only twelve or fourteen miles from it.
Between three and four thousands acres of the land are leased generally for terms not exceeding twenty one years and many of the terms have only short periods to run. The remaining quantity being near six thousand acres, consists of the most valuable part of the tract being extremely rich limestone land, similar in quality to the very fertile country in Lancaster and York counties of this state, and in Frederick county of Maryland. An indisputable title will be made to the purchaser.
This tract being situated in a most healthy and fertile country, offers a most advantageous investment of money; as no part of America can exhibit a more rapid settlement and improvement, and consequently a more rapid increase in the value of real estate.
It would be particularly advantageous to a company of settlers as the part not leased, admits of being divided into farms of any size to suit the convenience of the parties concerned.
One half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining half at easy instalments with interest.
Further particulars are deemed unnecessary as it is probable the land will be viewed, by any person disposed to buy before he purchases.
The price for the whole tract may be known on application to the hon. Thomas Hartley, Esq. at Yorktown, to the hon. John Wilkes Kittera, Esq. at the town of Lancaster, in this state, to Charles Lee, Esq. at Alexandria in the state of Virginia, or to the subscriber, at No. 29, north Second Street in this city, who will treat with any person or persons disposed to purchase till the fifteenth day of June next.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
From the CAMBRIDGE INTELLIGENCER.
LONDON, March 7.
A man, well dressed, came to a public house at Widsmerpool, in Nottinghamshire, on Wednesday evening, and desired he might have the best bed, pretending he was not well; indeed his appearance betrayed not the villainous intentions he had in view. In a few minutes after, the arch rogue made quite a thimble, and down stairs he came with his clothes put loose on, making pretences to go out, but at the same time desiring some ale might be warmed for him against his return. It appears he had been very alert whilst upstairs, for having an accomplice without, he conveyed a box out of the chamber window, containing a number of valuable articles, with which they got clear off.
One of the Dublin papers contains the following extraordinary intelligence:
"The Clergy having long shown their warlike disposition, by sounding the alarm from the pulpit;—the British cabinet have now determined that their zeal shall take a more active range, and they are to be embodied immediately, under the denomination of the Holy British and Irish Ecclesiastical army."
A gentleman in this neighbourhood having seen the extract in the papers from the Agricultural Society at Bath, relating to the Irish mode of planting potatoes, tried the experiment. In May he planted fifty-two shoots of the potatoes, about four or six inches long, in a piece of garden-ground; the rows were two feet asunder, and the shoots one foot asunder in the row. He took them in the middle of November, and they produced two bushels of potatoes, one bushel of them was very large, several of them weighing two pounds, and many of them from a pound to a pound and an half, and a pound and a quarter, and none less than a turkey's egg; the other bushel was small, as is usually the case in the same quantity by the common mode of planting. The Potatoes, from whence the shoots were taken, were very sound, and were used at table, were very good, and had as much flavour as could be expected so late in the season. The new potatoe was exactly the same in goodness, and in every other respect, as those planted from the eye or roots.
Letters have been received at Birmingham from Mr. Russell, late of that town, who with his family, was taken prisoner by the French, some months ago, on board an American vessel, and carried into Brest. He states, that he has received complete indemnification from the French Convention, and is arrived at Hamburg, where he means to take shipping for New-York.
Six millions of pounds sterling, the amount of the Emperor's loan, weigh, in gold, 47 tons, 6 cwt. in silver, 697 tons, 2 cwt. in halfpence, 26,786 tons, 14 cwt. The amount in a string of guineas would measure 94 miles, 5 furlongs; in shillings, 1893 miles, 7 furlongs; in halfpence would go nearly twice round the earth. To count over the whole in guineas, at the rate of seventy in a minute, would require six months and fifteen days, 12 hours each day being occupied. The whole would weigh in 51. Bank-Bills, six and twenty cwt.
The late Floods can only be considered as a great national calamity, one step in a series which we fear is about to overwhelm us. That famine which we have had too much reason to dread is now within the verge of probability. Most of the crown lands in the kingdom have been inundated, and the destruction of corn crops in embryo is great and fatal almost beyond precedent. The loss of sheep, cattle and other property, has been immense. One farmer in Leicestershire lost his whole flock of ninety sheep, and another lost sixty out of seventy six.
Poland, as every man must have been prepared to expect, no longer exists as a separate state, and the Empress of Russia has declared her intention of taking that unhappy country under her immediate protection! What pretences she uses to varnish over the deep damnation of the deed it is not difficult to guess. Courts are never at a loss for specious arguments when they wish to conceal their oppression from the people.
According to her Imperial majesty, the Empress of all the Russias, after notifying to the ambassadors of foreign courts at Warsaw, that as Poland is no longer a separate state, their public functions are at an end, informs them, in the same canting and hypocritical language that is used in this country, with respect to France, that principles destructive of religion, justice, humanity, and civilized society, had been introduced into Poland, and had produced an alarming influence on the minds of the people; that these principles were directly hostile to the fundamental laws of the kingdom; that they could not fail to plunge the inhabitants into misery and ruin; and that, therefore, influenced solely by her well-known love of clemency, she had taken the nation under her immediate protection. To complete the hypocrisy of this declara-
tion, she concludes it by acknowledging and returning thanks for the special favor which she has received from the Divine Providence.
Such is the conduct of one of the regular governments which is considered as capable of maintaining the accustomed relations of peace and amity, and with which all the other regular governments are closely connected. It remains to be proved, whether the people of Great Britain will suffer their regular government to accede to this iniquitous seizure of Poland, or not.—If they do, we shall consider the spirit of liberty and the sense of honour as annihilated and gone; and that there is no act of injustice or oppression which the government may not commit with perfect security.
Last week two girls, dressed in their brother's clothes, enlisted with a recruiting party at Liver-ton; but on a discovery being made of their sex by the examining surgeon, the Amazons were discharged, with much reluctance on their part, and sent home to their father.
On Thursday last was held a general court of proprietors of the Sierra Leone company, Henry Thornton, Esq. in the chair, when a report was read from the directors, stating, the particulars of the calamity which has been lately inflicted on the colony, by the attack and depredations of a French squadron. The above damage was stated to amount to 50,000. The Chairman informed the court, that two vessels had been fitted with a temporary supply, and that the directors, not discouraged by their loss, were determined to persevere in the great objects of the institution, which they hoped would yet be obtained.—The court unanimously declared their concurrence in this determination.
Mr. Inglis, one of the directors, afterwards informed the court, that from the information he had received, it appeared, that this expedition was not undertaken with the knowledge of the French Convention, but was planned and executed by some privateering depredators at Bordeaux.
From the Cork Gazette.
TANNING.
French new method of Tanning, Invented by CITIZEN SEGUIN.
The new method of Tanning is founded on an accurate knowledge of the nature of skins, and of the materials which tan them. It consists in letting skins lie several days in a solution of bark deprived of its tan, and slightly acidulated with sulphurous acid. That substance which causes the hair to adhere to the skin, is thus burnt up, and the hair therefore comes off easily; the skins softened and swollen, in this preparation, are then taken out, and afterwards suspended in solutions, more or less impregnated with tan.
In a few days, and about 15 days for the strongest skins, this substance penetrates in layers into the centre of the skins, combines itself with the animal substance, and gives it, by saturation, that character, which resists, putrefaction, and at the same, sufficient solidity to make it fit to make shoes. The method of Seguin has triple advantages; first, as it is the most expeditious mode of tanning; secondly, less expensive, and lastly, more complete than any other method, as it gives the highest degree of solidity to leather, which the tan can communicate; and on comparison, hides thus tanned have been found to exceed the dressed skins of any other country whatsoever.
The quickness of this method is such, that by taking the proper precautions, calf skins may be tanned in two days, and the strongest ox-hides in ten or fifteen days. This new method has also the advantage of rendering in the process the use of barley wholly unnecessary, of which all tanners have hitherto consumed a very great quantity. A large capital is also unnecessary; and remote forests may be turned to advantage by barking, and separating from the bark, that matter which is the principle of tan, upon the very spot; thus reducing the necessary part of the bark to a very small weight, and consequently much diminishing the expense of carriage. The simplicity of the whole operation is such, that any private man may tan hides for his own consumption, with more facility than a common professional tanner.
PARIS, Feb. 24.
The following contains some details of the extraordinary sitting of the Convention on the 20th February.
In the midst of the nominal appeal, Legendre rose suddenly, and addressing himself to some members sitting at a distance, "It sits very well on you,
said he, to insult me, brands that you are. It is because I prize the chiefs that their followers are straggling. Well, I declare a war of death to every one of you. I declare that Thuriot acts the part of a chief."
Several members—"Yes! Yes! he plays the part of a chief of the faction."
The order of the day being demanded was decreed by a large majority.
Thuriot asked leave to speak. The nominal appeal was reclaimed. Thuriot insists: "I will not excite the passions of any of the colleagues; however, I want to answer Legendre, for I believe that he has only exceeded the limits of decency, because some body has stirred up his gall, or because he stirs it up himself. He pretends, that the members who sit around me are my friends: I declare that I am not the least acquainted with them; my conduct is known: I was prosecuted by the chiefs of the system we have overthrown: after the 9th Thermidor I thought it was our duty to keep peace, to listen to principles and not to men. This opinion may displease some individuals, it is mine. I want to see with mine own eyes, I wish to act upright. Time will disclose all. Happy those who combat with frankness the cause of the people."
Legendre. "I demand firstly that Billaud."
Several voices. "Pray, say Thuriot."
Legendre. "It is synonymous.—From the moment I attacked the Jacobin faction (from the 27th July, 1794) who preached the system of terror even after the 9th Thermidor, I could not but expect to be myself attacked by all those who felt attached to the Jacobins; but I have devoted myself, I consider myself as guillotined and resuscitated, (lively applause) as well as a great number of my colleagues, (applauded) and Thuriot himself, who wished to seize the reins of government, in order to direct them according to his fancy."
"A scene of the same kind has already taken place at a former evening sitting, and I remarked that those who were the authors, had not been the executors of the scandal; the latter received the impulsion, and Thuriot was at the head of them. He told those whom he directed, "what are you about? you say nothing?" And when those men had yielded to his impulsion, he demanded that the committee of general security should assemble, and that the members who had complaints against any of their colleagues, should communicate them to that committee. See now, how they make rain and sunshine according to their pleasure. (Applauded.)"
"This day I arrived, sat down near a colleague, whom I don't know by name, but whom I know to be a friend of Thuriot, for they stick always close together; (laughter) the very same colleague endeavored to inspire me with the spirit of Thuriot; I answered him, "that no body will ever be able to influence my opinion!"
The member whom Legendre pointed at, declared solemnly, that he never had laid the like to Legendre.
Legendre exclaimed, "It is as true that thou hast told it to me, as I have answered thee."
The order of the day is demanded from all sides—
"No! no!" exclaimed Legendre, "it was true that thou hast told it to me, as I have answered thee, that I will never take the infusion of Thuriot's simples." (Laughter)
The Assembly passed to the order of the day.
LONDON, March 6.
In the last year the French have built and finished a new opera-house, at the corner of Rue Valois, said to be one of the most convenient and magnificent theatres in Europe.
Plays and operas flourish as much as ever at Paris, with the best singers and performers with Vestris and other capital dancers; and from the accounts of some late American visitors, matters in general go on as usual in that capital.
March 11.
A government print called the Times, which for licentiousness and profligacy certainly is a treasure to the party it espouses—in an article in the paper of yesterday, recommends every person to be assaulted who does not wear hair powder in consequence of Mr. Pitt's Poll Tax. As the organ of ministry, we must conceive this the alarm word to excite a war of parties—and if it were possible the tax could be intended as such by the proprietor, we do not hesitate to pronounce him equally guilty as the wretch who could have written so wicked and so atrocious a paragraph.
The following is the article in the Times alluded to in the foregoing paragraph:
"The tax on powdered heads is perfectly comme il faut. The flaxen-headed fops may perchance think of escaping Scat free; but to go unpowdered now, will naturally be deemed a mean and venal evasion; and the evaders will meet no doubt in the fashionable or indeed any decent circles, what they merit a smart dressing."
PLYMOUTH, March 14.
Arrived this afternoon his majesty's ship Lively, of 32 guns, Capt. Burlton, and brought in with her the French National frigate La Tourterelle, mounting 26 guns, 9 pounders, and 4 carronades, 42 pounders, navigated with 320 men.
The Lively sailed from hence on Thursday evening, and fell in with the above frigate yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, half channel over. The Tourterelle taking the Lively to be a sloop of war, bore down upon, and gave her a broadside, which the Lively returned, and the action commenced with great bravery on both sides, which lasted two hours and a half, at the expiration of which the French frigate struck, having 30 men killed and 12 wounded. The Lively had none of her officers or crew killed or wounded by the fire from the enemy, but her 3d lieutenant had one of his eyes blown out in re-priming one of the guns that missed fire.
The crew of the Joseph, belonging to Halifax, taken by the above frigate, and retaken and sent in here by the Lively two days since, were recaptured on board the Tourterelle, who say, that the Frenchman fired 2 rounds of red hot shot during the action, and that she would have struck an hour before she did, but it was delayed in order to get the furnace overboard, which was done, but traces of the ashes and the utensils used in the furnace still remain on board. A few days before she was captured, she took a sloop called the Lively of Cork, laden with provisions, which she scuttled.
The Tourterelle is a new frigate, out 20 days from Brest, and has taken several prizes. Her cruise is out, and she was to have returned to Brest this day.

NEW-YORK, May 11.
The Editor was yesterday obligingly favored by a gentleman who came passenger in the Port Mary, Capt. Kennedy, in 40 days from Liverpool, with a complete file of a London paper called the SUN, as late as the 24th March, being eight days later than those received at Philadelphia, which enables him to lay before his readers the chain of European intelligence up to that date. The following selection appears to be the most material; to afford room for which, the editor is under the necessity of omitting the conclusion of Carrier's trial till to-morrow, when it, and a more copious selection of foreign matter by the Port Mary, shall be published. An unavoidable omission of advertisements, in consequence of the flush of news, has again taken place.
Captain Kennedy informs that Mr. Jay was in Liverpool, and that he had been on board the Port Mary two or three days before he failed, and expressed a strong desire that Capt. Kennedy would wait ten days, in which time he would be ready to take passage with him; but the vessel being loaded and ready for sea, it was out of his power to comply with his request. Captain Kennedy says he believes Mr. Jay will come out in a new ship that was to sail in ten or twelve days after him.
LONDON, March 18.
We have the satisfaction of stating the arrival at Falmouth of the Lanza-rotta, a Spanish packet, after a very quick passage of only three days from Corunna, which brings advice of the Spanish army in Roussillon having attacked the French, killed 700, and taken 1800 prisoners, with 20 pieces of cannon.
The account of Admiral Langara's squadron having captured four French frigates, is confirmed.
March 19.
It was yesterday reported, and generally believed, that the squadron of Toulon having failed for the expedition against Corsica, had met at sea so violent a gale that they had lost seven ships of the line, five of which had foundered, and all the crews perished. Three of those ships were reported to be Le Languedoc, of 80 guns, Le Souverain, and Le Mercure, of 74. This last was in the number of those burnt by Sir Sidney Smith; but probably the conflagration had not been such as not to leave a possibility of repairing her from the water's edge.
March 20.
It is with great satisfaction we have to record the spirit, activity, and success, that now distinguish our naval operations. Sir Edward Pellew, that gallant and enterprising officer, on the 9th inst. fell in with a French convoy, consisting of 50 sail, which had sailed on the preceding day from Brest for Bordeaux—he had captured eighteen or nineteen vessels and dispersed the convoy. To our Falmouth letter we refer for all the particulars that were known at the time of its date.
HOUSE OF LORDS, March 16.
The Royal assent was given by Commission to the 18 Million loan bill; to the bill for raising additional duties on Wine, Spirits, Tea, Coffee, Cacao, &c. and to some private bills.
Yesterday some dispatches were received at the Admiralty Office from the Mediterranean, by the way of Gibraltar and Lisbon. Admiral Hotham is returned to his station off Toulon, watching the French Fleet, which still continue in that port, though they have long been refitted, and ready to sail. The British commander in Chief has received repeated intelligence of the want of naval stores, timber &c. at Toulon.
An order has been issued from the Pay Office, for 100,000, to be sent to the continent, by the Syren frigate for the service of the Army.
By letters received from Lisbon, we learn that seven Spanish men of war had arrived there, and brought in with them a French privateer, mounting 12 guns.
March 18.
From the London Gazette, March 17, Copy of a letter from Captain Burlton, commanding his Majesty's ship Lively, to Mr. Nepean, dated the 15th inst. Ushant South, half well, 13 leagues.
Sir, I beg you will acquaint the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that, half an hour past ten o'clock this morning, I bore the French frigate La Tourterelle, of 30 guns, and 250 men, to action; and at half past one o'clock, I had the satisfaction to see her surrender to his Majesty's ship Lively, under my command. Our loss is very trifling for so long an action, only two men wounded. The enemy's loss is 16 killed and 25 wounded. I cannot conclude without observing that the officers and crew throughout behaved with that determined coolness and bravery that must have ensured them success. I have the honour to be, &c.
GEO. BURLTON.
It appears by the latest communications from the army, that the approach of one column of the French towards Embden was little more than a feint, intended to cover the advances of another column to the Electorate of Hanover, from which the latter body are said to be not more than sixty miles distant.
The Dutch Commissioners who left this country a few weeks since, for the purpose of communicating the British Minister's answer on the detention of the Dutch ships, arrived in town yesterday with fresh instructions from the Provisional Representatives of Holland, to their Deputies in London on that subject.
March 20.
We are assured that the French have put all the flat-bottomed boats of Holland, amounting to 13; in a state of requisition: Each boat contains five or six excellent seamen, besides two pilots perfectly acquainted with the English coast; they are from twenty to thirty tons.
A letter from Gibraltar, dated the 29th of last month, of which the following is an extract, has just been received by Mr. Vanderhorst, the American Consul at Bristol—"Muly Solyman's cruisers are authorized to detain all vessels belonging to the United States of America, and for that end will certainly leave Sallee, and cruise as far as Madeira, as soon as the weather will favour them."
Sir William Erskine, Bart. died last week, at his house, at Turry near Alton. He had received his Majesty's commission to go instantly to Ireland, to take upon himself the command of the troops in that kingdom; he was preparing his departure, when this most distinguished veteran was seized with a palsy, and died—he was in his 80th year.
The most important event which has occurred lately, as far as relates to the political situation of this country, is the determination which has been signified by the Court of Russia, of entering warmly into the confederacy against France. It is generally understood, that the Negotiation entered into between the French Republic and the Court of Berlin, has induced the Empress to take this measure. It is likewise believed, that a Treaty between the Court of Russia, and this kingdom, either is concluded, or on the point of being so, by which that court binds itself to a vigorous co-operation with us in the war in which we are engaged. So important an ally under the present circumstances, gives us the most confident hope of a speedy and successful termination of the present contest.
The fears of the public respecting Ireland, have in a great degree subsided.—We cannot but rejoice in the lines that have been taken of averting the impending danger in its first appearance; and we are satisfied that notwithstanding the various attempts which have been made to inflame the mind of the Catholics, every thing in that kingdom will soon return to its former state, and that Lord Camden will shortly remove all the difficulties which may have been apprehended.

Portsmouth, March 20.
In the evening arrived from Havre de Grace, the American ship Swan, Coffin, master. She left Havre de Grace the 19th inst. The master brings information of the Deputies Barrere, Billaud Varennes, and Collot d'Herbois, having been tried and condemned, and were executed a few days before said ship sailed from Havre, according to accounts which had been received there; and that Vadier, the other deputy, who had disappeared, had been apprehended.
March 21.
In our paper of yesterday we stated, upon the information of a correspondent there, the arrival at Yarmouth of three Dutch Merchants and an Englishman, the mate of an English Transport sunk at Rotterdam, who made their escape from the vessel on Monday night last in a skiff. As the intelligence was not contained in the whole of our impression of yesterday, we beg leave to re-capitulate it to-day for the satisfaction of all our readers.
There had been no particular occurrences at Amsterdam, but letters had been received there with very extraordinary intelligence from Paris.
These letters state, that on Wednesday, the 11th inst. late in the afternoon, judgment of Death was pronounced by the Revolutionary Tribunal against Barrere and his accomplices. The same night, on some rockets being fired from the Observatory, a banditti assembled in the suburbs of St. Germain, St. Marceau, and St. Antoine, led on by the most enraged of the Jacobins, and accompanied by a shoal of Poissards, to the number of about 15,000. They proceeded to the Thuilleries, beset the Guards of the District, and took possession of the barriers and the bridges.
The general cry was "a bas les Moderes, vivent les Jacobins," while another part of the mob exclaimed, "Du Pain, et un Roi!" The issue of this tumult was not known when the accounts came away. The ferment had been long time brewing, as was evident, from several circumstances particularly from the cry that was raised in the Parterre of the opera of the night before, a bas les Muficiens, on the entry of Madame Talien or Cabarras, in her Greek dress into one of the boxes.
In the course of the night a large party was detached from the Caroussel to the Temple. From the divided sentiments of the mob, it appeared quite uncertain what was their design, whether to put to death the illustrious prisoners confined there, or liberate and proclaim Louis XVIII.
Such is the statement which reached us yesterday, and which we thought it our duty immediately to communicate. We have this day nothing to add in support of its credibility, having, when this paper was put to press, received no further account nor confirmation. We shall look, however, with more than usual anxiety for Paris papers of the date of the rumored transactions in that capital.
March 23.
Our Portsmouth Correspondent gives us, this morning, information of the arrival there of an American vessel from Havre de Grace, which place she left on the 19th inst. By this vessel an account is brought of the trial, condemnation, and execution of Barrere and his accomplices. Nothing is said of any tumult at Paris, but the confirmation of the above import, and event, proves that our intelligence of Friday was not entirely unworthy of credit, and forms our complete justification in laying it before the public.
March 24.
Yesterday a letter was received at the General Post-Office, dated Yarmouth, March 22nd, which states, that the Prince of Orange, Captain Bridge, had arrived there the preceding evening. Captain Bridge, on his passage from Harwich, spoke with the Argus Revenue Cutter, Capt. Saunders, and was informed, that the King George Packet, Capt. Dean, had been taken by four French frigates. She sailed from Cuxhaven the 14th or 15th inst. with the first mail on board from that place, and had the answers to 9 or 10 different mails which were sent from hence after the interruption with Holland, and it is supposed had remittances on board for above half a million of money. It is also presumed, a Messenger, with the Emperor's Answer to our Court, concerning the loan, is unfortunately captured in this packet.
French Army from Mentz.
February 23.
Our army is still in the same situation, as circumstances prevent its from acting. The plan of the campaign appears to have been changed; it is now asserted that Mentz is not to be attacked, but that from this side, we shall remain upon the defensive till the passage of the Rhine may be practicable; the passage is expected to be effected by the army of the Sambre and Meuse. The Austrian Generals, informed of our intentions on this side, sent down a great number of forces so that the garrison of Mentz has experienced a diminution, and the defectors reckon it only at 10,000 men. We can do nothing till that fortress be completely invested. Yesterday we had a very serious skirmish; the hussars of Wurmler attacked our out posts in the very moment they were relieving—they were forced to fall back; but our dragoons and chasseurs charged the enemy; and many were killed on both sides. It appears as if the intentions of the enemy were to allow us no rest at all; they depend much on the difficulties that our cavalry has to encounter from the want of forage; however all the attacks on our out posts till now proved fruitless—We expect to have an engagement of consequence as soon as the weather will permit.

UNITED STATES.
HALIFAX, N. C. April 27.
Thirty sail of vessels, we are told, are now building in the district of Edenton and full employment given to the various mechanics in the different branches necessary thereto, so that not a single person need be idle who is inclined to work. Eighteen hands are constantly employed in the rope walk of Mr. J. Collins, jun. in the town of Edenton, and the cordage manufactured therein, is universally allowed by the best judges, to be superior to any imported. The hemp has hitherto been imported, but it is hoped our planters will turn their attention to the cultivation of this necessary article, which will command a ready market and good price, the more especially as those on Roanoke possess a soil well adapted to its growth.
NEWBEDFORD, April 29.

Clark, all of Nantucket, whose success he was unable to give any information of.—April 21st lat. 34, 9, spoke sloop Polly, Abner Hathaway, from North-Carolina, bound to the West-Indies.
BOSTON, May 5.
FROM FRANCE.
There has been two arrivals from France one from Bourdeaux, in 42 days—the other from Rochelle, in 45 days. From the former of these we learnt not an article of intelligence. By the latter, we are informed, That the British fleet, formidable in number, and well equipped, were on the point of commencing a cruise in the channel; That the French had lately taken another town, in the vicinity of Bilbao; and that the latter long-devoted city was expected to fall immediately after.
Sunday, May 3—Arrived, ship Echo, William Lovell, in 54 days from Cadiz. Left there, March 9th, brig Telemachus, Parsons, to sail first vessel; schooner Abigail, Hopkins, and schooner Jane, Cobb, of Boston; brig Apollo, Whitmore, of New-York; ship Sedgley, Hodges, Philadelphia; brig Lady Walterfort, Banner, of ditto, freighted for New-York. Brig Pomona, King, for Philadelphia, failed in company. April 20th, lat. 28, 30, long. 36, spoke brig Ann, of Philadelphia, from Lisbon, bound home. April 21st, lat. 32, 43, long. 60, 29, spoke sloop Harriet, of Philadelphia, from Bermuda, for Barbadoes, Anderson, master, 3 days out. Nothing fresh, with respect to the Moors, was received from Spain, by Capt. Lovell.
ST. LUCIA.
From St. Lucia, which has repeatedly been said to be possessed by the French, we have information from a vessel spoke by Capt. Lovell, which was only 16 days out. It was then partially in the hands of the French and English, who were still striving for the mastery. This must be the latest from thence.
From the Aurora.
Mr. Bache, I observe that the quadrupeds of Grub-street begin to make the mud fly again, and an anonymous something in the Gazette of the United States has had a most droll fit of the wind cholie. There is some difficulty in designating the piece to which I allude, for this Mr. Something has had too much modesty even to subscribe himself B. C. Q. Z. or any other signature of the alphabet; however, suffice it to say that he begins in the following turgid strain of nonsense, "I saw in the Daily Advertiser of this day a long string of toasts swallowed last Tuesday at the French Hotel," and winds up his piece with fourteen lines of italics (something about God and the Jacobins) which I suppose are to operate as a kind of typographical wadding rammed in upon the exquisite combustibility.
This Mr. Somebody affects to regret the unparalleled indignity that was offered to "America, poor lady," who was most insultingly excluded from a precedence in the toasts, and he makes a doleful hissing, because the "poor lady" experienced such a dreadful neglect at the French Ho-
tel, as to receive five toasts at the end of the "string;" such frivolity must naturally excite a smile.
The civic feast was purposely intended to celebrate the glory of Gallic Triumphs and the emancipation of Holland, and therefore the citizens would have incurred no imputation of neglect to their country, had they entirely excluded our Republic from the list; but instead of that they have given her a quintuple toast, sufficiently satisfactory to all but a splenetic fool.
I could not have imagined that America contained so much baseness as the author of this piece, and none but a Grub-street Gazetter would have disgraced so virulent a libel upon the French Republic as this production. It is to be lamented that the miscreants of despotism should ill prefer the Republican air of America with their deleterious breath, and under the specious garb of patriotism, discharge their aristocratical venom, to contaminate mankind. Ought not every sincere patriot and philanthropist to regret the existence of this execrable something (I cannot say man) that would represent the ancient world as "lacerated and desolated by the dogs of war," the French. Such sarcasms of anonymous scribblers are the only subterfuge of a pusillanimous mind, the only weapons which aspiring despots can use for the vanquishment of their foes. Buoy O America that thou containest such imps of aristocracy that would strive to bring down obloquy upon thy favours, thy glorious and invincible allies. May such impious productions never reach the shores of France to brand us with the stigma of degeneracy.
SNUB.
The West-Indies have been emphatically called the grave of Europeans—of the British forces at Guadaloupe, the last year, there were killed in action, 1 brigadier-general, 2 lieutenant colonels, two majors, seven captains, and eleven lieutenants: died of sickness, one major-general, one colonel, four lieutenant colonels, five majors, forty captains and captain lieutenants, one hundred and three lieutenants, three adjutants, three quartermasters, and eight surgeons! The number made prisoners by the French, was 48.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.
DIED] By the rupture of a vessel in her lungs, Miss Charlotte Hutton, youngest daughter of Dr. C. Hutton, of Woodwich (England)—a loss by which her parents are left for ever inconsolable. For her goodness she was universally beloved, for her talents and acquirements universally admired and respected by all who knew her. She was only sixteen years of age at her death, and yet she had been for several years the efficient personage in the family, entering into all its numerous concerns, both domestic and literary, in the most active and ample manner. She was her father's amanuensis and assistant upon all occasions: she wrote for him, and read to him, in all languages and sciences; she made drawings for him of all kinds, mathematical, mechanical, &c. arranged and managed his library, and knew where every book stood, and could find most of them even in the dark. She knew several languages, and almost all sciences, in a tolerable degree; arithmetic, algebra, geography, astronomy, musick, drawing, poetry, history, botany, gardening, and all the usual female accomplishments in a superior style and degree; most of which accomplishments were acquisitions chiefly made by her own talents and energy of mind, with little or no assistance from others. It was sufficient for her, once to see or hear any thing done; the soon made it her own. She was author of several ingenious calculations and compositions. She extracted the square roots of most of the second 1000 numbers, to twelve places of decimals, and proved the truth of them afterwards by means of differences, arranging the whole in a table ready for publication. She drew elegant geographical maps, and only the second day before her death began and completed one whole hemisphere of the earth, both the drawing the shading, and the writing. She was remarkable at composition and style, either epistolary or scientific, expressing herself well on any subject; a small specimen of which we cannot avoid here inserting for the curiosity of the subject. A very few days before her death, when the family joined her one morning in the parlour (for she was usually first up in the morning, as well as last at night) she told them a dream she had in the night, which seemed so curious, that they desired her to write it down; which she immediately did, literally, in the following words, "I dreamt that I was dead, and that my soul had ascended into one of the stars; there I found several persons whom I had formerly known, and amongst them some of the nuns whom I was particularly attached to when in France. They told me, when they received me, that they were glad to see me, but hoped I should not stay with them long, the place being a kind of purgatory, and that all the stars were for the reception of different people's souls, a different star being allotted for
every kind of bad temp'r and vice; all the sharp tempers went to one star, the sulky to another, the peevish to another and so on. Every body in each star being of the same temper, no one would give up to another, and there was nothing but dissension and quarrels among them. Some of those who received me taking offence at the information my friends were giving to me a child, it made a quarrel, which at length became so rude and noisy, that it awakened me." In short, had she lived, she shewed fair to become a second Hypatia. To her mother, and the rest of the family, she was no less useful in domestic business, than to her father in literary. For nothing same aids to her, being equally skilled and adroit in all useful and laudable concerns; in managing the family, the servants, in making purchases at shops or markets, &c. She was the life and soul of every company, wherever she came, engaged the chief or sole attention of every person, men and women, young and old. She had conversation for every one, and generally took the lead when not checked. In short, her goodness and sweetness of disposition gained her the love of every person, as her wit and cheerfulness fixed their attention, and her knowledge and wisdom raised their admiration.

It appears by the Report of Carnot made to the French National Convention, that the French Army in the United Dutch Provinces consists of one hundred and twenty thousand men; that the Dutch Army is scattered in the rear of the French Army, and that the Dutch Arsenals are to be emptied to fill those of France; in short, that Holland is considered by the French as a conquered country, for Carnot adds, "we have acquired Sea ports, a numerous Navy, and ravished a rich province from England."
From a late Charleston Paper.
A Committee of the Directors of the Santee Canal Company, consisting of the late Governor Moultrie, Mr. Laurens, Mr. Gilchrist, and Mr. John Rutledge, jun. have, within the last few days, examined the canal from one end to the other, and found every department conducted with regularity and economy; that the work was advancing as fast as the well directed exertions of 700 labourers could forward it; and that there was, on the whole, a fair prospect of speedy and complete success in the great undertaking.

CANT PHRASES.
As found as a nut, o'er the plain I of late whistled, cock full of glee; A stranger to sorrow and pain, As happy, as happy could he. As plump as a partridge I grew, My heart being lighter than cork: My slumbers were calmer than dew! My body was fatter than pork! Thus happy I hop'd I should pass, Sleek as grease, down the current of time; But pleasures are brittle as glass, Although as a fiddle they're fine. Jemima the pride of the vale, Like a top nimply danc'd o'er our plains; With envy the lassies were pale With wonder stood gaping the fwains. She smil'd like a basket of chips— As tall as a Hay-pole her fize— As sweet as molasses her lips— As bright as a button her ayes. Admiring, I gaz'd on each charm, My peace that would trouble so soon, And thought not of danger, nor harm, Any more than the man in the moon. But now to my sorrow I find, Her heart is as hard as a brick; To my passion forever unkind, Tho' of passion I'm full as a tick. I sought her affections to win, In hopes of obtaining relief, Till I like a hatchet grew thin, And like a haddock grew deaf. I late was as fat as a doe, And playsome and spry as a cat; But now I am dull as a hoe, And lean and as weak as a rat. Unless the unpitying fates With passion as ardent shall cram her, As certain as death or as rates, I soon shall be dead as a hammer.
KADANDA.
North Yarmouth, April 1795.
This day a verdict was given by the jury in the great Cause depending before the Federal Court, respecting certain lands in the county of Luzerne, which have been claimed by persons in this state in opposition to others from the state of Connecticut. The evidence and pleadings on both sides took up in whole sixteen days. The jury were charged this forenoon by Judge Paterson, and after retiring for about half an hour, they returned, having found for the Pennsylvania claimant. Cornelius Van Horn, against John Dorrance, Defendant, the claimant of Connecticut, and who has been for many years settled on the farm in question.
The particular division between Van Horn and Dorrance will determine a great number of others in the same predicament. Between eight and nine thousand people are settled on these lands, whose titles are in exactly the same situation, with that of the Defendant Mr. Dorrance. We understand that it is proposed to carry the cause into the Court of Chancery.
From "the Argus" of yesterday a new daily paper published in New-York by Mr. Greenleaf.
The Port Mary, Capt. Kennedy, arrived at this port on Saturday evening in 40 days from Liverpool. Capt. Kennedy brought papers to March 25, which contain very little intelligence. A Liverpool paper of March 23, contains a Corunna account of a battle in Roussillon, which states that the French lost 1000 killed and 2000 taken prisoners, but the Capt. says, accounts at Liverpool were that there had been a battle in which the Spaniards were beaten, which is most likely to be fact, as at Corunna the truth must not be told at all times. The accounts of peace with Prussia and Spain do not seem to be confirmed. Provisions were cheaper at Liverpool than in this city.

Philadelphia, March 1795.  PROPOSALS For Printing by Subscription, a Work to be entitled  TRIALS FOR  HIGH TREASON, Within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. By EDMUND HOGAN, Editor of the Pennsylvania State Trials.
IT will contain an accurate and comprehensive statement of the charges against the accused, the documents, oral testimony, arguments of counsel on both sides, and final issue. As every citizen in the United States is more or less concerned in the issue of these trials, it is hoped the Editor will soon be enabled to acquaint the Public, that he has met with sufficient encouragement to undertake the publication, which he intends to do as soon as 600 subscribers shall have signed. With this view. He offers the following Proposals to the Public. I. The work shall be printed in 8vo, with a good type, on fine paper, in numbers of 64 pages, to be delivered as soon as possible after the trial. II. As no accurate estimate of the length can be made at this time, its size and price cannot now be ascertained; but the price shall be limited to sixpence per sheet of 16 octavo pages, exclusive of binding. III. Subscribers on the delivery of the first number, to pay one dollar, and the remainder when the work shall be completed. The printers of new papers in the United States, who shall publish these proposals six times in their April, May and June papers, shall be entitled to a copy for their trouble; and the allowance of a seventh copy will be made to them and all others who may exert themselves in soliciting subscriptions and securing payment. As this is supposed to be a sufficient inducement for printers, stationers, booksellers and schoolmasters, to be at some pains to procure subscriptions, it is hoped these persons will exert themselves by opening subscription papers immediately, and they are requested to be punctual in transmitting the lists before the first of July next; as the names are to be printed as patrons of this work.

Treasury Department Revenue Office, April 14, 1795  PROPOSALS Will be received at the Office of the  Commissioner of the Revenue, For Building a  LIGHT HOUSE,
On Seguin Island, near the mouth of Kennebec river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Dimensions and Description. THE form is to be an Octagon. The foundation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if practicable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half below the surface of the earth, and to be commenced of the diameter of twenty seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wooden work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick. As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six inches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the same to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expences of materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well framed, and of stout heart fine timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base thereof where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, so which it is to be well secured by sixteen stout iron straps built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden building from the bottom of the water table and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be canted with sawed stone at least eight inches wider, and sloped at top to turn off the water.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well painted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two windows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches. On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, beded therein, planked over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole having a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron Lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or stanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These stanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches above. The Lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet and nine inches in height. The whole space between the posts or upright pieces at the angles is to be occupied by the Sashes, which are to be moulded on the inside and struck solid. Each sash is to have twenty eight panes of glass, fourteen by twelve inches, a part of the sash on the South west side is to be hung with hinges for a convenient door to go out on the platform. The rafters of the Lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel, thro' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be 4 pair of stairs to ascend to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank. The entrance into the light house is to be well secured by a strong door hung upon hinges with a strong lock and latch complete. Also a frame Dwelling House of one story and the roof is to be twenty six feet or thereabout in front, and twenty five feet deep, with a cellar, under it, if it shall be found practicable to dig it. The cellar walls is to be eighteen inches thick, and seven feet high. The story of the House is to be seven feet and one half in height. The roof is to have a rectangular pitch. The floors are to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The House is to contain a Kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a sitting room adjoining lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by nine feet join'd to the ends of the Kitchen and fitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The stack of chimneys to be between the Kitchen and fitting room and is to have two plain fire places, one of them large for a kitchen; to which is to be joined an Oven. There is to be an outer door to the passage and an outer door also to the Kitchen. There are to be two windows in each of the large rooms, and one in each bed room.
Each sash is to have twelve panes of glass eight by ten inches. Each window is to have a strong plain shutter, with fastenings and hinges. The doors are to be hung and furnished completely. The ceiling and inner sides of the House are to be plastered with two coats. All the wood work inside and out is to be well painted, and the whole is to be finished in a plain and decent manner.
An oil vault is to be built twenty by twelve feet in the clear, arched over, and covered with earth or sand, over which a shed is to be built. It is to be furnished with nine strong cedar Cisterns with covers, each capable of containing two hundred Gallons. The entrance to the vault is to be secured by a strong door. A well is to be sunk at a convenient distance, and furnished with a curb, bucket and rope completely. The builder is to procure and
pay, for all materials, workmanship, provisions and other objects of cost charge or expence for a sum to be proposed and agreed upon, and to execute the before described work, and every part thereof in a good and workmanlike manner. Convenient payments or advances, on security, will be made. April 17. t&tf.
