Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous streams of water are interperfused through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is without exception of one obstruction, navigable to the Susquehanna.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehanna.
It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well watered meadow ground.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, towards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the settlement.
The Susquehanna affords an easy and safe navigation to Middleon, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the communication to the city.
Another means of connection with Philadelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own interest with that of the inhabitants, are disposed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one mile square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians.
For further particulars apply to George Eddy,

By order of the Court, DEARE, Clerk.  Aug. 10.

WHEN a few men in one of our principal Cities lately formed themselves into a Society for the sake of superintending the measures of Government and preserving our Liberties, inviting peopel in the several States to form themselves into Societies for similar purposes, it was natural to suppose that the object of those public Guardians of the public peace, was more extensive than they had been pleased to avow. Men who had chosen themselves to be the guides and governors of other men, who had been chosen by the people at large, must have been men of superior knowledge and virtue; from such governors great things were to be expected. Know thyself is the golden precept that was said to have descended from Heaven. This patriot band knew themselves to be fit to rule the rulers of nations—they took their seats accordingly, and they have with a severe and steady hand been correcting the Executive and guiding the opinions of the nation. In this select corps we have been favoured with a new fashioned Aristocracy unknown to antiquity. They were not as in other countries chosen by the sovereign nor by their fellow citizens, nor were they distinguished by the public opinion concerning their talents or their fortunes, not by any other circumstance except their consciousness of superior wisdom. Though they knew themselves to be the true Aristocracy of the nation, that is to say, the wisest and best, and though they published their edicts as such, yet they assumed to themselves the humble name of Democrats.
Difficult as it may be to govern well we observe that in all countries there are a sufficient number of men who are willing to take care that the common wealth shall suffer no injury. Hence it was that in a few months small Democratic Aristocracies were formed in every state in the union, and small dictatorships were formed in town and county, under the wings of the parent Society.
Those Societies, strange as it may seem, have been formed in a free elective government for the sake of preserving liberty. And what is the liberty that they are striving to introduce? It is the liberty of reviling the rulers who are chosen by the people and the government under which they live. It is the liberty of bringing the laws into contempt and persuading people to resist them. It is the liberty of condemning every system of Taxation because they have resolved that they will not be subject to laws—that they will not pay any taxes. To suppose that societies were formed with the purpose of opposing government, might appear illiberal provided they had not already excited resistance to the laws and provided some of them had not publicly avowed their opinions that they ought not to pay any taxes.
Left there should be any doubt on this subject, I shall transcribe the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Resolves of a large Society in South-Carolina, they are as follows, viz.
 1. Resolved, That the collecting of taxes, or other duties to be paid in money, in these remote countries, is oppressive and unjust; for it must be well known, that no article of our produce, will discharge its own freight to market, whereby money is to be obtained. And therefore  2. Resolved, That under these circumstances the seizure of property, and the sale thereof by the sheriff, is highly injurious and destructive to the laborious and honest farmer and his family  3. Resolved, That it is the inherent right of every free man to vote and to elect the officers who are to command them in a military character; and he who dares to attempt a contravention of this right, forfeits all protection from his country, is a tyrant and a despot, and an enemy to the people.  4. Resolved, That citizen Madison, and the real patriots of the present Congress, are entitled to our just praise and to our warmest thanks; and on the contrary, that we abhor and reprobate every character who may have endeavored to establish monarchical principles, or be influenced by private interest.  5. Resolved, That the foregoing resolves be made public through the channel of some of the gazettes of this state, to show the fixed and determined opinion of the Republican Society of Pendleton county; and also for the purpose of convincing those infamous characters, who lost to all fear of shame, and prompted by some evil spirit, have attempted to overturn and destroy the rights and privileges of the people, that their proceedings are disapproved of, and that the people will persist in the support of their liberties.

GALLICIA, May 23.
The Poles have discovered the secret of diminishing the number of the enemy, and increasing that of their own troops. Every defector receives six golden ducats in hand, and becomes entitled to a small estate in land, at the end of the war. The privates who shall signalize themselves are to be ennobled. Kosciuszko has granted patents of nobility to two gallant soldiers, who have distinguished themselves by their intrepidity, and he has no less than 370,000 Polish florins in the stock purse for the encouragement of Russian and Prussian defectors.
BRUSSELS, June 22.
Yesterday morning a column of the enemy, amounting to 15,000 men, among which were six regiments of cavalry, appeared near Jemappes; and owing to their superiority, forced our posts to retreat to Mont St. Jean. The regiments of Demas and Beons disputed the ground inch by inch with great bravery.
We learn this day, that the enemy have evacuated Jemappes; but this news has not been able to satisfy the fears of the inhabitants, who are flying hence in all directions.
Dispatches received this day from the Banks of the Sambre, completely contradict the assertions of those who assured us that the French after their defeat on the 16th, would not again attempt to cross the Sambre.
On the 18th they passed that river in two strong columns, one of which took the road to Binche and Nivelles, and the other pushed forward to Sombreff, a village three leagues and a half to the Northward of Charleroi. As soon as intelligence was received of these operations, General Alvinzi made a movement to the right for the purpose of checking the column that had taken the road to Binche and Nivelles, and Generals Spiegl and Beaulieu were ordered to defend the Chasseurs of Namur and Nivelles. A heavy cannonade was heard yesterday morning on the side of Charleroi to which it is said that the French have again advanced to lay siege.
We are informed that the Prince of Cobourg has removed his head quarters from Tomnay to Essequanffe, and that the head quarters of the Duke of York are at Pettes.
LONDON, June 12.
It now appears, that the squadron of nine sail which chased the Audacious, was a distinct squadron from the main fleet of the enemy; and they joined the French admiral after the action of the 29th, who sent off five sail of the line that had been much damaged in the action of that day, and substituted five ships from the squadron that had joined him. Thus Lord Howe's fleet, in the opposed in the different actions 31 ships of the enemy.
Never since England had a navy has there been an action better contested on both sides, or which terminated with such honor to the British flag.
The defeat of the French fleet by Earl Howe, is a blow so decisive as France will not be able to recover for years to come, and will deter them from again attempting to vie with British valour by sea.
The French had thirteen ships disabled at one time; and at the same moment the Marlborough and Defence were in a like crippled state.
To the honor of the subscribers of Lloyd's Coffee House, notwithstanding the late severe losses they have met with by the depredations of the enemy's ships, in the capture of vessels in the merchant service, which, on a moderate calculation, amounts to near one million sterling, they, with the liberality that will ever distinguish that very respectable body of men, in less than one hour subscribed a thousand guineas, for the relief of the widows of petty officers who have fallen in the glorious action with Earl Howe, on the 28th of May last, and which has since increased to 3000 guineas.
June 14.
The Polish army consists already of 171,000 men. The army of Lithuania, is composed of 50,000, that of Warsaw of 40,000, and of the Ukraine of 11,000 men. The Woy-
wodship of Rawa, situated in the Prussian share of Poland, has also acceded to the general confederation.
The Poles have taken possession of the town of Liebau, in spite of the remonstrances of the Russian Consul, and seized all the cannon, and about 10,000 pounds of gunpowder, for which they paid in ready specie.
June 18.
An article from Maastricht says, that a battalion of their garrison left that place on the 6th of June, with three pieces of cannon, and the necessary ammunition for the express purpose of suppressing an insurrection in the country of Liege. It was generally believed at the Hague, that the Prince Bishop had taken refuge at Maastricht.
From Constantinople it appears that six commissioners from the French Convention are arrived there, four of them are said to be engineers. Though their intentions are dear, the treasury is said to be in a better state than ever; and the greatest activity prevailed in increasing the force by sea and land. The Republic, of 40 guns, had failed from Smyrna, for Toulon, but the rest of the French vessels were supposed to have gone to meet a Dutch convoy.
Accounts are received from Lord Hood, dated on the 2d of June. He was about to attack Calvi. The English fleet had taken the Mozelle frigate, and several boats laden with provisions.
June 24.
Intelligence from Italy states, that the three columns of French at the foot of Mount Cenis and Lucernetta, having received reinforcements, united and advanced towards Turin. In Savoy they are 32,000 strong. The Convention have ordered them to seize upon the bells, &c. and to do away feudalism. Since the discovery of the conspiracy in Turin, all the cannon in the Citadel has been turned upon the city. Many labels, with "Freedom for ever," &c. have been found scattered about.
June 26.
A very general report prevails, that a court martial will shortly be held at Portsmouth, on the conduct of an Admiral and two Captains, who were under Lord Howe in the late engagement with the French. One of the Captains has been already sent to Coventry by his brother officers. Indeed Lord Howe's last letter seems to intimate that every man did not, in his Lordship's opinion, do his duty.
Extracts of a letter from Plymouth Dock, June 27.
"Since my last, sailed his Majesty's ships Stately, of 64 guns, Admiral Sir R. Kings, for Portsmouth, and sailed last evening for Newfoundland. Likewise sailed the following ships, under the command of Admiral Cornwallis, with the East-India fleet, under convoy. Excellent 74 Capt. Finch, Admiral Cornwallis; Hector, 74 Capt. West; Alexander 74 Capt. Whittled; Arrogant 74 Capt. Wilson; Bellona, 74 Capt. Truscott; Granges, 74 Capt. Calder; Theseus, 74 Capt. Lewis; Minotaur, 74 Capt. Poole; Colossus, 74 Capt. Hood; Hebe 38 Capt. Hood."
"The ships in harbor under the command of Admiral Graves, from the affluence of exertions used to refit them, will be ready for sea in the course of the week. We are happy to inform the public that the Admiral is much recovered from his late misfortune."
June 28.
General Kosciuszko's account of the action between the Polish troops and the army of the King of Prussia, received by the Dutch Mails, differs very materially from that given in the Berlin papers. The loss of the Poles amounts to 600 men—that of the enemy is much more considerable; some reports state the loss of the Prussians at 500 killed and wounded, and that of the Russians at 400.
Yesterday Mr. Jay, the American Minister, had a private interview with Mr. Pitt, at his house in Downing-street.
Letters received in town yesterday, of mention, that a squadron of gun boats had sailed from different ports Holland, to join Sir Sydney Smith's expedition against the coast of France, consisting of near 60 sail.
The ship Dragon and Cargo, alledged to be American property, were claimed by the British captors to be good and lawful prize.
It appeared that the ship was laden with provisions, and sailed from Boston to Senegal, and was afterwards destined for Old France.
The ship and cargo were claimed by persons who stated themselves to be American proprietors, and the question
before the court was, "Whether the property really belonged to Americans or to Frenchmen?"
The principal witness for the captors was a Scotch lad on board the Dragon, who swore that the vessel was sold and transferred at Senegal to a M. Blanc, a French subject. His evidence was in part confirmed by several circumstances.
The Counsel for the captors contended, that during the present war, it was common for the French to carry an illiterate trade under American names, and that there was every reason to believe that the ship and cargo in question was the property of Frenchmen. It appeared that the ship's papers were very defective. The counsel for the claimants, contended that it would be dangerous to depend upon the single evidence of a boy only 19 years of age, whose patriotic feelings might easily have been worked upon to shape his evidence in favor of the British captors. They argued that it was a case in which the court ought to admit farther proof in order to explain several leading circumstances.
The learned Judge lamented, that so many American cases should come before the court. It was an alarming circumstance, that some of the neutral powers should document and lend their names to so many French ships. Sir James made many excellent observations upon the case before the court, and said, he should defer giving judgment till a future day.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
TRIAL OF WARREN HASTINGS, ESQ. LAST DAY.
Being the 148th day of the seventh year.
Monday Mr. Burke, at a little after two, addressed their Lordships, and returning them thanks for this other day they had granted him to finish, took a retrospert view of the British and Mahatta wars, of the presents Mr. Hastings had accepted, and of the means his counsel had adopted to support the evidence, by endeavoring to prove that those parts in the impeachment, which the managers for the sake of brevity, had omitted, ought to be construed as not supportable by the managers, and therefore favourable for Mr. Hastings. Dwelling with considerable energy for a long time on the charges, in the gross and detached parts, he, at last, said, he was come to his conclusion; but before he quitted the box, he should beseech their Lordships' attention for a few moments.
The Hon. Manager then, in a very solemn tone of voice, beseeched their Lordships, as they revered the glory and honor of that happy constitution under which they lived, to look to what their ancestors had done in cases similar to the present.—He cited many of them, but more particularly pressed that of the impeachment of Lord Macclesfield, as a guide for their conduct on the present occasion. He reminded them, that by neglecting to punish great delinquents, constitutions were overturned, and kingdoms laid waste. Here he drew a lively picture of the miseries to which France had been brought, from the Parliament of Mirabeau to the tyranny of Robespierre, wherein a departure from virtue, honor, and justice, and an adoption of tyranny, robbery, and murder, had ruined one of the finest kingdoms in the world; inhumanized its inhabitants, and unutilized its plains. He hoped the Almighty would avert such evils from this realm, and inspire their Lordships with those principles of equity, on which the permanence of states could only be supported; for constitutions were subject to mutability, and every day afforded fresh proofs of the necessity there was to punish delinquency, in order to preserve national happiness. He had therefore only to add his fervent hope, that their Lordships' judgment, in the present instance, would be conformable to that which surpassed every other consideration—the principles of justice.
At half past four the proceedings were thus concluded.
It is understood their Lordships will pronounce sentence next year, at the bar of their own chamber.
From the London Gazette.
At the Court of St. James's the 13th of June, 1794.
PRESENTS.

All persons residing or being in Great Britain, are forbidden under the penalties of high treason, during the present war, to pay, lend, supply, or deliver, or cause to be paid, lent, supplied or delivered either in Great Britain or France, or in any other country, either by payment or remittance of any bill of exchange, note, draught, obligation or any other money, or in any other manner whatsoever any money to or for the use of any person or persons who, on the 1st day of January, 1794, were or are, or at any time since have or has been, or who at the time of such act done, should be within any of the dominions of France, or any country, territory or place which was on the first day of January, 1794, or which should be during the said war, and at the time of such act done, under the government of the persons exercising, or who should exercise, the powers of government in France.—And all persons, residing or being in Great Britain, are also prohibited under the pains and penalties of the said act, of provision and premium, during the said war, to send, supply, or deliver, or cause or procure to be lent, supplied or delivered, either in Great Britain, or in any other country, or place whatsoever, to or for the use of any person or persons who, on the said 1st day of January, 1794, were or was, or at any time since had been, or at the time of such act done, should be within any of the dominions of France, or in any country, territory or place which was, on the said 1st day of January, 1794, or which should be during the said war, and at the time of such act done, be under the government of the persons exercising, or who should exercise the powers of government in France, and all persons residing or being in Great Britain are prohibited, under penalties, and forfeitures specified in the said act, to pay or otherwise satisfy, deliver or part with, any monies, bills of exchange, promissory notes, draughts, obligations or orders for money, securities for money, goods, ware, merchandise or effects whatsoever, of or belonging to persons exercising, or who should exercise, the powers of government in France, or to any persons or person who, on the said first day of January, 1794, were or was, or at any time since have or has been, or who, at the time of such act done, shall be, in any of the dominions of France, or in any country, territory or place which was, on the said first day of January, 1794, or at any time during the said war, and at the time of such act done, shall be, under the government of the persons exercising, or who should exercise, the powers of government in France. And whereas it has been represented to his Majesty, that many persons, who are subjects of the United States of North America, and engaged in houses of trade established there, may have been, on and since the first day of January, 1794, within the dominions of France or other the countries, territories or places then under the government of the persons exercising the powers of government in France, while the firms of such respective houses have remained in North America, and transacted their ordinary commercial business with other countries, and therefore the commercial intercourse between his Majesty's subjects in Great Britain and the subjects of the said United States, may be embarrassed by the restrictions contained in the said act, unless his Majesty shall in pursuance of the powers vested in him by the said act of Parliament, give his royal license and authority to enable persons in Great Britain to do such acts as shall be necessary for carrying on such commercial intercourse with North America, notwithstanding the restrictions contained in the said Act, so far as may be consistent with the general intent and purposes of the said act. And whereas it has also been represented to his Majesty, that, from the extensive effect of the foregoing circum-

stances, considerably delay, and in- convenience may arise, in case it shall be necessary to obtain a special licence on every occasion for such purpose: and whereas by another act passed in the present session of Parliament, intituled, "An act for more effectually preserv- ing money or effects in the hands of his Majesty's subjects belonging to or dif- posable by persons resident in France, for the benefit of the individual owners thereof," it is, amongst other things, enacted, that in all cases in which his Majesty shall think proper to grant any licence or licences, general or special, by his sign manual, order in council or proclamation, to do any act or acts un- der peculiar circumstances, or upon spe- cial terms or conditions expressed in such licences respectively, the proof of the existence of such circumstances, and the performance or compliance with such terms and conditions, shall, in all pro- ceedings whatsoever, criminal or civil, lie on the person or persons acting un- der such licences respectively, or claim- ing the benefit thereof.
His Majesty, taking the premises into his royal consideration, is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that it shall be lawful for any person residing or being in Great Britain to pay any bill drawn in any part of North Ameri- ca, by any house of trade established in any part of North America, upon any person or persons in Great Britain, and to pay any sum or sums of money on account of any house of trade establish- ed in any part of North America, not- withstanding any one or more of the house of trade by whom such bill shall have been drawn, or for whose use such bill, or sum or sums of money, shall be paid, shall have been or shall be, within the dominions of France, or any coun- try, territory or place which was on the first day of January, 1794, or which since has been, or which shall be, during the said war, and at the time of such act done, under the government of the persons exercising the powers of govern- ment in France. Provided such bill shall have been so drawn for the purpose only of some commercial transaction be- tween such house of trade estab- lished in North America and some house of trade in Great Britain, or in some other part of his Majesty's domi- nions, or in some country in amity with his majesty, or for the purpose of some commercial transaction. Provided that no articles not prohibited to be exported from this kingdom to France, and shall not have been drawn for the purpose, directly or indirectly, of car- rying on any commerce, other than as aforesaid, with or making or providing any remittance to France, or any coun- try, territory or place which now is, or at the time of such act done, shall be, under the government of the persons ex- ercising, or who shall exercise the pow- ers of government in France; and his majesty is pleased further to order, and it is hereby ordered that it shall be law- ful for any person or persons residing or being in Great Britain, to send, supply, or deliver, and cause or procure to be sent, supplied or delivered, any goods, wares or merchandise, to, for, or on account of any house of trade in North America, notwithstanding any one or more person or persons, engaged in such house of trade, shall have been, or shall be within any of the dominions of France, or any country, territory or place, which was, on the 1st day of January, 1794, or which has been, or which shall be, during the said war, and at the time of such act done, under the government of the persons exercising, or who shall exercise the powers of go- vernment in France.
Provided such goods, wares or mer- chandise shall be so sent, supplied or delivered, bona fide for the sole use and benefit of such house of trade in North America, and not for the purpose, di- rectly or indirectly, of carrying on any commerce with or making or providing any remittance to France or any country territory or place which now is, or at the time of such act done, shall be under the government of the persons exercising or who shall exercise, the powers of government in France.
Provided also, that all and every per- son and persons who shall take the ben- efit of such licence hereby granted, shall so take the same, upon condition that in case of any proceeding, criminal or civil, under the provisions of the said act of parliament, for any thing alledg- ed to have been done contrary thereto, any question shall arise whether the thing so done was authorized by the licence hereby given, the proof that such thing was done under the peculiar circumstanc- es according to the special terms and con- ditions required by this order, shall lie
on the persons claiming the benefit of such licence. W. FAWKENER. UNITED STATES. NEW-YORK, August 18.

PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 20. The ship Juno arrived at Boston last Wednesday evening in 44 days from Am- sterdam. The passengers on board report, that just before they left the Texel, which was the 1st July, news was received of another great Victory having been obtained over the combined Armies, in which CLAIR- FAIT was defeated and BEAULIEU killed. The Dutch were in consternation even in Amsterdam. Boston Indep. Chronicle.
Last year failed from Nantucket to fail of Brazil whalemanship, they have all return- ed, with middling success; and what is remarkable, of 150 men who failed in the vessels, they every one returned in good health. Newbed. Journal. Capt. Baker, of the brig Franklin, in 16 days from Port au Prince, gives the following account of the horrible massacre perpetrated at Port au Prince, upon the mis- erable aristocrats by order of the Spaniards It seems that the commandant of that place determined to get rid of them at any rate, notwithstanding their avowed sentimen- ts of royalty, sent for two regiments of negroes in their pay, commanded by the noted villain Jean Francois, and while the wretched people were at dinner, they fell upon them, and murdered upwards of 800 without distinction of age, sex or colour. The Spaniards had previously drawn up all whom they wished to pre- serve upon the parade. Capt. Baker a few days before this took place had arrived at Port au Prince with a number of French citizens from this city, who had been denied by Spanish proclamations to return, and take possession of their plantations. They however were refused liberty to land though the captain represented the leaky condition of his vessel, and that many on board had permission from the Spa- nish commissioners in Philadelphia. Capt. Baker has brought 41 passengers, officers and others of the garrison of Port-au-Prince lately captured by the British, but all in good health. Gen. Advertiser.
Barrere in his report on the late na- val battle says that the English had a superiority of fourteen sail of the line- Lord Howe states that his fleet con- sisted of 25 and the French of 26 sail. As neighbour Sly says—Lord how this world is given to lying.
From the General Advertiser. From a Correspondent.
As violent means appear the desire of lightened government men, it is to be hoped that those who desire the most benefit from our revenue laws will be the foremost to march against the Western insurgents. Let stock-holders, bank- directors, speculators and revenue offi- cers arrange themselves immediately un- der the banners of the treasury, and try their prowess in arms as they have done to report, in calculation. The prompt recourse to hostilities which two certain great cha- racters are so anxious for, will, no doubt, operate upon the knights of our country to appear in military array, and then the poor but industrious citizen will not be obliged to spill the blood of his fellow-citizen before conciliatory means are tried, to gratify certain feats, and expose himself to the loss of life or of limb to support a funding order. The man who has most to expect from government ought to be the first to defend it, and no one will deny that the knights of the funding sy- stem are of this description; it is to be presumed, therefore, that they will equip themselves against the first of Septem- ber, and not permit those who have less interest in excise laws to be in advance as they have already received most of the emoluments of the revolution, they must expect to receive all the benefits of an immediate crusade against our own citizens. Quere—Does not this Correspondent cover every day.
often know, that Commissioners have been sent to the Western Counties for the purpose of conciliating the minds of the insurgents? Has he never read the Pre- sident's Proclamation, which gives the insurgents to the first of September, to retire to their homes? By some recent accounts from the Westward, we learn that the views of the insurgents in that quarter are more that extensively hostile to the peace, unity and and indivisibility of the United States than has been generally supposed. The mor- opposition to the Excise on Whisky is but an ostensible business to cover the commencement of a more extensive plan—and that is, an excision of the Counties over the Mountains from the Union—and the assumption of the na- vigation of the Mississippi.

LONDON, June 18.
Accounts from Switzerland by way of Mentz say, that the king of Sar- dinia has actually arrived at Zurich. A report prevails in some circles but we are apt to think it is unfounded —That Barrere had denounced Robet- pierre for permitting two members of the National Convention to leave Paris unprivately. One of them is said to re- turn to Brussels; the other according to report, has arrived in England, en- gaged with an important commission. Rumour also states, that the latter in- dividual, a noble Gentleman has the names of ma- ny members who are ready for a Coun- ter Revolution! A very alarming conspiracy has been discovered at Turin, concerted between a great number of the inhabitants and the French commissaries in the depart- ment of Mont Blanc. Their object was nothing less, than the seizure of the arsenal, the citadel, and all the Roy- al Family, upon a certain signal to be given upon the 26th of May. For the better execution of this measure the Republicans had sent all sorts of arms in the environs of Turin. In possession of the chiefs of the conspiracy a quanti- ty of fuses and boxes of cockades were found; and, amongst other things, let- ters containing a secret correspondence; one of these delivered by mistake to an honest citizen, led to the discovery of this plot. Many persons of distinction have been arrested; and more are dis- covered every day.
TOURNAY, June 10. Kaunitz is said to be in disgrace for the following reason; he was ordered to attack the French near Charleroi, which he declined to do, and sent an- other in his place, and thereby let slip a fine opportunity of totally destroying the army of the republic. He is full of pique, and it is not thought prudent to trust him with command: However that may be, he is certainly removed, and the behaviour of the Imperial offi- cers to him seems to authorise this rumour.
FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION. May 28.
The Commune of Sens informed the Convention, that they had raised the bodies of the Capets, which were in- closed in lead. They had afterwards buried the bodies with the common marks of plebeians and Sans Culo tes, & sent the coffins to be converted into balls. Ramel, in the name of the Committee of Finances, presented the plan of a decree upon the necessary changes in the receipt of material and personal im- posts. Bourdou of Oise moved, that all the partial measures which could be pre- sented upon this subject should be sent to the committee. Tallien and Bourdon spoke ably up- on this subject. They shewed the pol- ibility of freeing the people from eve- ry kind of impost. At the peace the possessions of the emigrants, the clergy, the condemned, with the royal domains, would produce a sum sufficient to dis- charge the national debt; and for the current expenses, there would remain the timbres les douanes , the impost of successions, imposts which would fall only on the rich. Bourdon's motion was agreed to.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.
The people are anxious for a war with Russia: and as the greatest preparations are making to complete the military es- tablishment, it is confidently expected and believed that the desires of the peo- ple will be complied with. A silly rum- our was circulated a few days ago, that the Porte had ordered the French frigates to quit the Archipelago: The fact is, that the French ships meet with the most ample protection, and are per- mitted to dispose of their cargoes, and to carry on their commerce in the same manner as they did during the existence of the old government. A French brig from Smyrna has brought orders to the French frigates to return to Toulon; this brig carried into Smyrna two Eng- lish merchantmen which she had captur- ed in her passage from Toulon.
POLAND, May 3.
The Revolutionary Tribunal at War- saw consists of 25 persons, 11 of whom at least, must be present when any judg- ment is passed.
WARSAW, May 17.
When an account of the immense pre- parations of the Empress was commu- nicated to Gen. Kosciusko, he exclaimed "My brave countrymen will soon afford a continuing proof to Russia, and to the whole world, that men determined to be free cannot be conquered." The following are the circumstances which attended the trial and execution of Gen. Olszowski, the Bishop of Li- vonia, and the two other persons who were executed with them. At break of day, on the 9th inst three gibbets were erected before the Hotel de Ville, and one before the church of Bernardins. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the people assembling round the Hotel de Ville, demanded justice on the above persons who had disgraced the Polish character, and had sacrificed their coun- try to the interests of Russia and Prus- sia. The Provisional Council immediate- ly ordered the Criminal Tribunal to en- ter upon the trial of the four prisoners. They were brought from prison on foot, and after a trial which lasted eight hours they were found guilty, and condemned to death. The sentence was received by the people with great applause, and the condemned persons, after confessing themselves, were executed.
PORTSMOUTH, June 17.
A naval promotion will take place upon his majesty's visit to Portsmouth. The Prince of Wales is one of the finest ships ever launched in this yard, and the there is no doubt but that the concourse of people to see her go from the slip, will be immense, especially as their Majesties and the Royal Family will be present. A bowl that will hold 36 gallons, made of copper, tinned, is making for the occa- sion, and is to be filled with punch royal. Stocks fell one half per cent, yesterday.
on the rumours of General Clairfait's de- feat and the fall of Ypres. Dr. Priestley, after a short and pleasant voyage, arrived in safety at Philadelphia. He was received with a welcome due to his talents. All the French prizes are arrived at Spithead, viz. Le Sans Pareil 84 Le Juste 84 Le Impetueux 74 Le Northumberland 74 L'Amerique 74 L'Achille 74 The prisoners landed this day, and were conducted to Hilsea Barracks, where they are to remain, and the sol- diers which occupied those premises are to be encamped near Hilsea to guard the said prisoners.

ANACREONTIC to FLIP. STINGO! to thy bar-room skip, Make a foaming mug of Flip; Meat of our country's st ple, Rum New-England, Sugar maple, Beer, that's brewed from hops and Pumpkin, Grateful to the thirsty Bumkin. Hark! I hear thy poker fizzle, And o'er the mug the liquor drizzle; All against the earthen mug, I hear the horn-spoon's cheerful dub; I see thee, Stingo, tale the Flip, And sling thy cud from under lip, Then pour more rum, and, bottle stop- ping, Stir it again, and swear 'tis topping. Come quickly bring the humming liquor, Richer than ale of British vicar; Better than ukquebaugh Hibernian, Or than Flaccus' famed Falerian; More potent, healthy, racy, frisky, Than Holland's gin, or Southern whisky, Come, make a ring around the fire, And hand the mug unto the Squire; Here, Deacon, take the elbow-chair, And Ensign, Holiday, sit there: You take the dye-tub, you the churn, And I'll the double corner turn. See the mantling liquor rise! And burn their cheeks, and close their eyes, See the fidel mug incline— Hear them curse their dull divine, Who, on Sunday, dared to rail, At Brewster's flip, or Downer's ale. —Quick, Stingo, fly and bring another, The Deacon here shall pay for t'other, Ensign and I the third will share, It's due on swop, for pie-bald mare.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE Subscribers for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the Subscription will open at four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing.

The Public are cautioned beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have in circulation within a few days are good general imitation of the Bills, but may be distinguished by owing
M A R K S Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thi whiter and it takes the ink mo than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company i than the M. and other letters of the so that a line extended from the t O. to touch the top of the M. wou considerably above the range of the word. In the word United the letters are rouver and closer together than in the bill. The i and f in the word promiss are parallel, the f inclining much more than the i. The engraving is badly executed, strokes of all the Letters are fr the device in the margin particular coarser and appears darker than in bills. Some of the counterfeits be- 1791—Whereas the Bank was not operation till December, and no five were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly simi- lar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving better executed, and they approach to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like word in the Five Dollar Bills as above, the e being less than the a, and thers following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty, in the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb- oil, and differs from other inks used printing the bills and the cashier's signa- ture. It is supposed these forgeries were in some of the Southern States, all the counterfeits that have appeared, have from thence, and two persons have prehended in Virginia, on suspicion the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL- LARS will be paid to any Person or who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who man- ufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting altering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have ap- peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from the ge- nuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfini- ished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word is dom- and there is no comma at the end of it, as here is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills. The false strokes being coarser and nearer together, and consequently more numerous. This difference is visible ye at first view. The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending and prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this is to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the Re- spective Boards.
