Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on- ly, on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and nu- merous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, naviga- ble to the Susquehannah.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empt- ies itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah.
It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well water- ed meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, to- wards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city.
Another means of connection with Phil- adelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every ten miles 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.
Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phil- adelphia, or to Thomas Eddy, at New York, relative to this business, will be duly answered.

EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the in- terests of useful science, has on the sug- gestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, in- ventions, improvements, schemes, obser- vations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate.
Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications ano- nymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communica- tions in a private book which he will keep for that purpose.
The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may se- cure to inventors their just claims, and pre- vent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not en- titled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disse- minating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and inven- tion, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

For Sale.
ON Monday the first day of September next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia will be sold by public vendue, two tract or pieces of land situated in White Clay Creek hundred, New Castle county and state of Delaware; one of which contains about sixty acres of highly improved land, on it is a large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with Rabbing and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Pat- terton's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently sit- uated for carrying the articles manufactured at the mills by water to Philadelphia—This property being close to the road leading from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at the head of the tide, with many other at- tendant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business so very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none.
The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills.

SEDITIONS PRACTICES.
OF the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of crimi- nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal pe- culiar attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- est views and objects of the British conven- tion; and proves incontestibly, that judi- cial prosecutions (or persecutions) and de- cisions are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constitu- tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called, who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment."

MR. EDITOR,
Some of the proceedings of the Grand Jury of this county having excited the general attention for some days past, they think it necessary, for the satisfaction of our fellow citizens, to publish the following presentments, made by them, together with the Chief Justice's reply to and remarks on the same, that a just estimate may be formed of their conduct.
It is not to be presumed, that Grand Jurymen are civilians, nor even deeply versed in the laws or constitution; but with pride and pleasure we remark that few among us are so ignorant of either, as not to know that every individual has by natural law, a right to complain of all grievances; and surely no one can, or at least ought, to say that a Grand Jury does not possess the same right—and we conceive it matters not where the grievance originates, whether among ourselves, in the Executive of the state, or even of the United States.—If we feel it, we can and ought to complain, and seek for redress in a constitutional manner.
We deny being actuated by any thing selfish or personal in these presentments; they have long been a subject of general complaint, except the first; and even in presenting that, we did not take it up hastily; nine days having elapsed from the existence of the offence, (as we did, and still do conceive it to be) and the presentment only made when we thought the Grand Jury was about to be discharged. We also disclaim having had the most distant intention of reflecting on the Associate Judges of the General Court; nor can we conceive how any part of our presentment can be tortured into such construction—and finally, we submit to the SUPREME TRIBUNAL of the public, our whole conduct in this business.
Baltimore, 22d August, 1794.
PRESENTMENT of the GRAND JURY.
AUGUST TERM, 1794.
The grand inquest for the body of Baltimore county, do, upon their oaths, present as grievances—
1st. The insult offered to them in open court, by the Chief Judge, in censuring the Sheriff "for having summoned to bad a Jury." Justice to our fellow-citizens requires that we should solemnly protest against such arrogance of office.—To pass it unnoticed, although immaterial to our own individual justification, might be considered hereafter by Judges equally vindictive and tyrannical, as a precedent, until the frequency of the offence, would make men of feeling and reputation, extremely averse to the discharging of this important duty.
2d. The arrangement in the judicial department, which constitutes the same person Chief Judge of the General Court, and Chief Judge of the Criminal Court for Baltimore county, in violation of the 30th article of our Bill of Rights, which declares, "that no Chancellor or Judge ought to hold any other office civil or military, or receive perquisites of any kind," and of the 32d article, which declares, "that no person ought to hold, at the same time, more than one office of profit." In consequence of this arrangement, the benefit of appeal is greatly diminished, and may in certain cases be nearly destroyed.—A Chief Judge must, from his station, and may, from peculiar circumstances, attain a powerful ascendancy over his brethren upon the bench should he happen to be tenacious of his opinions, self-important, and self-sufficient, as the passions of the man must ever tincture the proceedings of the officer, he will not fail to use every mean in his power, for prejudicing the Associate Judges in favor of his adjudications in the court below, although personally withdrawn—for the appearance of common decency forbids, that the Magistrate who presided when the sentence appealed from was passed, should also preside when the appeal was heard—still the influence of his previous management may remain to blind, to bias, and mislead. The arrangement is faulty in another view—By appointing a certain number of Judges to hold courts, though the presence of all be not essential, it is nevertheless necessary and desirable; various occurrences may prevent a full court at different times: when this does happen, it is accounted an inconvenience, and disadvantage incident to the nature of things and incapable of remedy; but it is extremely incongruous and absurd, by a deliberate system to create the inconvenience and disadvantage in all cases, brought by appeal from the Inferior to the Superior Court.
These grievances appearing to our ap-
prehensions truly great, of dangerous tendency and destructive operation, we the grand Jury aforesaid, do upon our oath present Samuel Chase, Esq. for abuse of power, in daring to censure the Sheriff for not summoning a Jury to his approbation. We present the Executive of the state of Maryland, for appointing Samuel Chase, Chief Justice of the General Court, to the office of Judge, for the Court of Oyer and Terminer and General Goal Delivery, for Baltimore county—and we also present the said Samuel Chase, for accepting of those two appointments, in violation of the 30th and 32d articles of the Bill of Rights.

THE CHIEF JUDGE'S REPLY.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
On yesterday you delivered to the court, a paper in which you present as GRIEVANCES,
1st. The insult offered to the Jury in open court, by the Chief Justice, in censuring the Sheriff for having summoned to bad a Jury.
2d. The arrangement in the judicial department, which constitutes the same person Chief Judge of the General Court, and Chief Judge of the Criminal Court for Baltimore county, in violation of the 30th and 32d articles of the Bill of Rights. In this paper you present me for abuse of power, in daring to censure the Sheriff, for not summoning a Jury to my approbation; and you present the Executive of the state of Maryland, for appointing me (being Chief Justice of the General Court) to the office of Chief Judge for the Court of Oyer and Terminer and General Goal Delivery, for Baltimore county; and you also present me for accepting of these two appointments, in violation of the 30th and 32d articles of the Bill of Rights.
You have, gentlemen, by law, a power to present all crimes and offences against the laws, committed within the county; but you usurp power when you present any offence not committed in this county; and you also usurp power when you present any conduct of a private citizen, or of a Judge, and much more of the Executive of this state as a grievance. If any person has committed a breach of the laws, it is your duty to present it, but misconduct of a Judge in his office, though contrary to law, unless he acts at the same time corruptly, is not within your jurisdiction. The misconduct of the Executive of this state in appointments to office, is also not within your jurisdiction, and it is a manifest infringement of the constitution and laws of this state, for you to interpose, and to pass your opinion on the conduct of a Judge, unless flowing from corruption; or any conduct of the executive. These subjects are not entrusted to you by our constitution, or laws. If you were acquainted with the constitution under which you live, you would know that the House of Delegates is the only legal tribunal, in this government, to enquire into grievances. You present as an insult to yourselves, "that in open court I censured the Sheriff for having summoned to bad a Jury," and you protest against it as an arrogance of office. Your calling my censure of the Sheriff (expressed in any terms) an insult on your body, will not make it so, and your assertion that my censure flowed from arrogance of office will not prove me to possess such a disposition of mind. Gentlemen, I shall not conceal what passed between me and the Sheriff.
On reading the pannel of the Grand Jury, I observed to the Sheriff that a more indifferent Grand Jury had not been returned for two years; that it was his duty to return a pannel of the best and most capable men in the county for the Grand Jury; that if I was sole Judge I should fine him. I also observed to the Sheriff, that he had returned a gentleman who had encouraged the late riots. The Sheriff declared that he did not know it. I appealed to my associates whether I have stated the facts.
If I am correct your informant is mistaken, but, gentlemen, "if I had censured the Sheriff for having summoned to bad a Jury;" yet this is the first instance of a presentment, by any Grand Jury, for an insult to any one; and it would seem that delicacy would point out the impropriety of judging in their own case. But, gentlemen, the court in virtue of their office of Judges, have a power not only to censure, but to fine a Sheriff for not returning such a pannel of a Grand or Petit Jurymen, as they approve. As one of the court, I have this power, and it is my duty to exercise
an opinion, whether the Sheriff has returned the best and most capable men in the county to compose the present Grand Jury. By a good Jury is always meant a Jury of knowledge and experience in the business entrusted to them: by a bad Jury is only meant the want of sufficient knowledge and experience.
The power of the court is derived from the common law, and is recognised in all the laws that have passed for the establishment of this court, except the last, in which the clause appears evidently to have been omitted by neglect in making the copy. You have also, gentlemen, presented me for abuse of power, in daring to censure the Sheriff for not summoning a Jury to my approbation. If by law I have a right not only to censure but to fine the Sheriff for returning a Jury which I disapprove; you have greatly erred in judgment, by calling this legal exercise of opinion an ABUSE OF POWER. An assertion that power is abused, is an admission that the power exists, but that it is exercised to such an extent as to become an abuse of it. If I have the power, you are not the Judges whether I have abused it, and notwithstanding your opinion it will remain undecided, whether I have abused my power or not. A Judge in exercising his legal discretion is only answerable to God and his conscience, and is above all human tribunals, unless he acts from corrupt motives. I shall dare to do my duty as my judgment directs. Your indecency of language and illiberal reflections, not only on myself but on the two other Judges of the General Court, I shall not notice, but only remark that such conduct highly unbecomes the candor, the temper, and moderation that every Grand Jury should assume, even if they did not possess those qualifications. You, gentlemen, have undertaken to present the Executive of this state for appointing me, being Chief Justice of the General Court to the office of the Chief Judge of this court—By the constitution of this state (48th section) the Governor and the Council are authorised to appoint all Judges and Justices, and they are bound by oath to vote for such person as in their judgment and conscience they believe most fit and best qualified for such office. By the constitution, therefore, the Governor and Council are made the Judges of the person to be appointed Chief Justice of this court; and this power has been exercised twice by two different Executives in my appointment; but you set up yourselves as Judges of the constitutionality of the appointment, and present the Governor and Council for violating the constitution—by this conduct you have set yourselves up above the Executive, and presumed to censure the conduct of your superiors. Party has already and will probably hereafter give this the same confirmation you have done to the Bill of Rights, but as you have no right to give any opinion upon the subject, it will have no influence in the decision of the Executive. You gentlemen, have presented me for accepting the office of Chief Judge of this court, as I am Chief Judge of the General Court. If my acceptance of the office is an offence, I shall readily submit to the decision of the law, and for this part of your presentment, gentlemen, I take no offence—it was your duty if you in your conscience considered it an offence—but it cannot escape observation that no other Grand Jury have been of the same opinion with you, and the presentments seemed connected with (but I will not believe that it flowed from) a supposed insult to yourselves.—You all know, Gentlemen, that the Chancellor holds the office of Judge of the Land-office, and that too with the repeated approbation of our legislatures.—You, will gentlemen, continue to do your duty, and I shall persevere in mine, and you may be assured that no mistaken opinion of yours—or resentment against me will prevent my having respect for you as a Body.

FROM HAMBURGH PAPERS.
THORN, June 14.
According to some accounts, Cracow has surrendered to the Prussians, and 4000 Polish troops were taken prisoners.
From a letter from Warsaw, June 24.
The citizens have requested from the National Council, an account of the battle of the 6th; but did not obtain it. This gives naturally reason to suppose that the same has been against us. The Russians are advancing from all quarters, and the confederate army is retreating. Every one seems to lose courage at these unfortunate incidents; and our most spirited patriots begin to have very serious thoughts—Just now it is reported, that 10,000 Russians under Gen. Derfeldt have passed the River Szug, and defeated the Polish army near Dubienka; it is even said, that they are already at Lublin, about 36 or 46 miles the other side the Weichsel—They deceive the people by the most ridiculous accounts, and try to keep them in spirits by the most barefaced falsehoods, of advantages obtained, of resources, and foreign connections.
VIENNA, June 18.
The Prince of Kaunitz lies without hope, and has already received the last unction.
The accounts from the army in Italy are every day more favorable; on the frontiers of Lombardy they are without
any apprehension and even at Turin they have recovered of their panic.
Count Kaunitz of the army in the Netherlands has given in his resignation.
General Mack set out on his return from the Netherlands, two days before the Emperor.
In Turin upwards of 2000 persons have been arrested as being concerned in the last conspiracy. Four battalions of infantry and two of cavalry, of the Imperialis are there already, and more are expected.
GENOA, June 14.
On the arrival of a vessel from Bastia an extraordinary council of state was called, which sat from 2 o'clock till 9 o'clock next morning. We have since heard, that the Corsicans have formally declared war against our Republic, and have charged us with not keeping the treaties, but acting contrary to them. This declaration of war is said to be signed by the famous Paoli, as the Commander in Chief of the Corsican marine and land forces. This news has occasioned here a great deal of consternation; and forebodes the most melancholy consequences for our commerce, to which add, that the English keeps our ports blocked up. In the mean while preparations are made to defend our two rivers.
LIEGE, June 25.
Letters which deserve credit, mention that the French National Convention have demanded 25,000 men, from the army of the North, in order to march into the interior parts of France. This accounts seem to be some confirmation of the reports that the royalists had gained some advantages in La Vendee.
VIENNA, June 18.
According to a general report, a great plot has been discovered in Triest, the object of which was nothing less than the destruction of the harbour. The conspirators are said to be mostly Italians or Greeks; who have been purchased with great sums of money by French emissaries for that horrid purpose. A great number of persons of different classes have been already arrested, and on this occasion such an immense quantity of powder has been found in the lower hold of a foreign vessel, as would have been sufficient to blow up not only all the vessels in the harbour, but the city itself.
WARSAW, June 21.
Kosciusko notwithstanding his defeat, speaks in a very high tone. In a circular letter which the supreme council have issued on the 12th, by his orders, it is said that the Poles will proceed now no longer on the defensive, but mean to act offensively, and Kosciusko promises therein Liberty to all the Prussians and Russian prisoners,—provided the insurgents can penetrate into these provinces, and provided likewise that these foreign provinces are fond of Palomin Liberty. The insurgents cannot maintain their ground against the Russians, tho' they fight with great obstinacy and rage. General Zajoncek gave an instance thereof on the 8th, near Chelm.
ROME, June 14.
Several suspected persons have been arrested here again; and a Piedmontese has been sent to the Anogel Castle, daily new signs of Jacobin influence are discovered. Popularity will hardly believe that Mendicant Monks and many secular Priests of the lower order were some of the main springs of the proposed Revolution in the Italian States; according to the French fashion, in their confessional they preached to the people infidelity, and contempt of Religion and of Government; but fortunately for the States all has been discovered.
[Translated for the General Advertiser.]
HAMBURGH, July 2.
The French have sent the magistracy of Ypres to the Austrian camp.
The centre of our army is at Cateau in the Cambresis.
July 5.
The progress which the French have made in Flanders as well as on the Sambre, has induced the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Netherlands, Count Metternich, to write to the Belgian states on the 23d ult. requesting them to cause a general arming, owing to the deplorable situation of affairs which exposes the whole country.
It is feared the Prussians expected from the Rhine will not speedily arrive.
The flight of the inhabitants from Flanders and the Austrian Netherlands
has continued for some time and now proceeds with increased activity. They are also removing the valuables into Holland with vast expedition.
Since the progress of the French in the Netherlands, the patriots in different cities appear of a mind to make some stir; in the present state of the armies any open attempt at insurrection might be attended with disagreeable circumstances.
The cause of the slow progress of the French into Piedmont has been want of provisions.
BRUSSELS, June 26.
The troops ordered to evacuate Valenciennes, Conde, Quesnoy and Landrecies have orders to join the army on the Sambre with all expedition.
As soon as 2000 Austrians had arrived at Turin the execution of the conspirators began.
TREVES, June 25.
Every thing is in motion here on account of the intelligence, that the French have advanced in three columns and formed a camp of 20,000 men near Longwi. The French are reinforcing these parts daily from the army of the Rhine, whence their soldiers arrive in waggons.
Upon this intelligence the few troops we had here went off to Merzig. We have sent a courier to General Melas who commands in the Luxembourg and is now at Arlon to come here with his corps. Count Kalkreuth has his head quarters at Oitweiler.
On the Vistula, June 26.
The Polish Lieut. Gen. Jasinski, has issued a proclamation to the people of Lithuania which contains the following sentiment.
"CITIZENS,
"The earth on which we live cannot be taken from us by the enemy. They may burn your thatched dwellings and rob you of your goods; but soon will the booty you will get from the enemy enable you to build more comfortable houses, and you may live more happily when the land is freed by your valour. Then, citizens, let us attack the enemy in their own country and treat them as they have treated us; showing however mercy to those who have not injured you, revenging your wrongs on those who have sought your ruin by the most unwarrantable excesses. Let us be confident in our strength; but that strength must be excited and our country calls upon us for a desperate effort."
The Russian Gen. Derfeldt has taken Lublin, Kosciusko has called in all his small corps to the main body, to render his plan of defence more certain.
PARIS, June 23.
David has been directed by the convention to give a description of a new national dress.
It is generally believed, that the Swedish dress will be nearly his model,—that it will consist in a tight pantaloons, short waist coat and Spanish cloak.
The order which had been given that the post-horses throughout the Republic should only be used by deputies sent on public business, besides carrying the mails has been repealed.
Of the 17,000 men detached from the army of the North last year to quell the insurgents in La Vendee not more than 500 now remain.
The cavalry and artillery of the royalists are as well equipped as any regular troops. The former regiment of Royal Allemand and the hussar regiment of Emigrants are among them. Santeurre in his retreat from Saumur has let cannon fall into their hands.
From Jersey and Guernsey the royalists receive provisions and ammunition, they are landed during the night or under cover of fogs.
Robert Lindet one of the members of the committee of safety is indefatigable in the discharge of his duty.
The members of the convention in general have very little to do, but give their assent to what is proposed by the committee of safety, they are always to be found in the play houses and such places.
Cambon who had proposed a personal tax in lieu of some other is now himself out of conceit with the plan & is quiet owing to the bad reception it met with.
The popular commission continues its searches and a great many people are daily confined; few are seen to return having once been in their hands.
The municipality of Cluse, in the department of Montblanc have sent to the commune of Paris, as a present 75 hundred weight of cheese, which has been distributed among the citizens in pieces of a quarter of a pound.
The journeymen of several mechanic

excavations have attempted to form combinations to raise their wages, which however they have no right to complain of, as they are as high as when provisions were at the most exorbitant prices.
On the 20th of June 38 persons and on the 21st 25 were guillotined, among whom none were ci-devant nobles. On the 22nd 15 more suffered the same fate.
Of the new assignats 200 millions are to be struck of 5 livres, 300 millions of 125 livres, 400 millions of 250 livres, 200 millions of 1000 livres, 100 millions of 2000 livres, besides some more millions of other denominations.
Some catholics having attempted a procession through the streets of this city, they were taken up by order of the municipality as fanatics.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, Aug. 16.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Liverpool, to a merchant in this town.
LIVERPOOL, June 23, 1794.
"In consequence of the embargo on all vessels in American ports, and some of your members of Congress having voted for a sequestration of British property, many of our merchants have declared they will not ship any goods for America till the result is known. Mr Jay has had several conferences with our ministry, but nothing of importance has yet transpired. Delegates from the different manufacturing towns, and a Committee of American merchants in London, have waited on Mr Pitt who informed them, that the intentions of our court were pacific towards America; and that every reasonable restitution should be made to those American citizens who had suffered by our cruisers in the West Indies.
June 27.
"As we have sealed up your letter we put in this slip of paper to inform you, that the London newspapers of this day give us every reason to believe that all matter in dispute between your government and ours will be amicably settled. We think the following extract of a letter we have received from a very respectable house in Leeds, much strengthens the probability:—"Our minds are much relieved to day on American affairs, by the return of the deputation which the Merchants of Leeds sent to obtain information of Mr. Pitt (our minister) whether or not we may execute our American orders; his answer being in the affirmative we may expect the markets to advance as our merchants have determined to execute the orders."
PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 29.
Translated from the Courier Francois of Yesterday.
Extract of a letter from Brest, June 25, to citizen D. L. Morel at Philadelphia.
"We cast anchor at Brest the 12th of this month—by order of the police I was detained in the road till the 22d. The croud of people is so great here that I have found great difficulty in procuring lodgings. In the midst of abundance, every thing is dear, occasioned by the astonishing population. Brest is full of prizes; the movements here are truly grand; our convoy is not only arrived without any other accident, than that of two vessels of the fleet which ran foul of each other; all the people were saved. But we have taken every thing we met on the sea, and conducted to Brest 15 prizes, and 4 transports from Martinique.
"The English have been deceived in their calculation; they sent to sea 40 men of war, of which 11 were 3 deckers, to take us. A French fleet of 26 sail gave them battle; the engagement was so lively on both sides, that many ships were dismasted, and three sunk, of the latter it is said one was the English admiral, without saving a single man. You should have the account circumstantially, did business permit; knowing your republican principles, it will be matter of joy to learn, that the republic proceeds with confidence from conquest to conquest.
"Believe me for life your affectionate friend; for French Republicans are servants to nobody, and do not admit the term in future."
"We are authorised to inform the public, that on Thursday, the 20th inst. the commissioners appointed by the Governor to endeavour to restore tranquility and order in the western counties, conferred with the committee appointed by the Convention at Parkinson's Ferry; and that there is a fair prospect of an honorable and amicable accommodation. We are happy to add that the views of the Commissioners appointed by the President, being of the same conciliatory nature, the utmost harmony subsists between them, and the state commissioners. Am. D. Ad.
It is to be observed that our accounts from the Continent of Europe, by the arrival from Hamburg are of a later date than those received by the late arrivals at New York from England and Ireland; and it cannot escape notice that the London paragraphists not only contradict each other, but cross the truth in respect to several facts relative to the actual posture of affairs in Flanders.
MR. FENNO,
The following paragraph is taken from a Hamburg paper of the 16th of June. The article alluded to is translated from a German paper published in this city, of which I enclose you a copy.
"The Academy of Arts and Sciences at Stockholm have chosen Dr. Benjamin Rush, Professor of Medicine, &c. of Philadelphia, a member of their Society."
A Caution to the Democratic Society.
The custom you have adopted of ballooting in the names of persons without their knowledge, and afterwards reporting such to be members of your club, will not be put up with by the persons thus abused. This hint it is hoped will be sufficient without further notice.

C I R C U L A R,
TO THE BRIGADE INSPECTORS
Of the Militia, from the Adjutant General.
PHILADELPHIA, August 27th, 1794.
Sir,
AS the period limited by the President's Proclamation, for the dispersion of the insurgents, in the western parts of Pennsylvania will expire on the first day of September next, the governor has expressed the greatest solicitude, that the corps of five thousand two hundred militia, to be drafted in pursuance of the General Orders of the eighth inst. may be in readiness to march on that day. I must therefore make an immediate report of the progress, which has been made in drafting and organizing your quota.
The eyes of our fellow citizens throughout the Union, as well as in Pennsylvania, are fixed upon our conduct: you must be sensible, therefore, that the slightest appearance of a want of zeal, or energy, to embark in support of the violated authority of the laws, will produce that reproach and disgrace, which, as public officers, it is our duty if possible, to prevent, and which it will be our misfortune, more than any other part of the community, to encounter. But, I am persuaded, sir, that reflections of this kind are unnecessary, to stimulate you, or the militia of your brigade, to the performance of an essential duty. The occasion is interesting to every man, who feels his obligations to society, and is desirous to preserve from the fury of anarchy, as well as from the encroachments of despotism, the independence of a freeman.
The governor, therefore, directs me to repeat his confidence in your exertions, and in the patriotism of every well disposed citizen: but as he is anxious that the public disposition may be displayed by the most expeditious compliance with the President's requisition, he has thought it proper thus to renew the communication of his sentiments.
I am, Sir, &c. (Signed) JOSIAH HARMAR.

BOSTON, Aug. 23.
Capt. Tucker, in the brig Harmony , of this port, has arrived at Portland, from Brest, where she was carried in by a French vessel of war, the cargo taken for the use of the Republic, and paid for, in bills on Hamburg.
We learn, that John Quincy Adams, Esq. appointed Resident at the Hague, from the United States , has so far proved himself a "good citizen," as to obtain permission of the Citizen owner to take passage for " Amsterdam ," in the efficient ship Robespierre .
Brevity is said to be the soul of wit."—If so, the French have published a witty account of the late action, as follows, " We have had an action with the English and our ships have returned into port. "
In one of the towns in England, to express their loyal joy on their late naval victory, they roasted a whole sheep, and burnt TOM PAINE in effigy.
If all the French " official accounts " are of a piece with that of Barre of the action of the 1st of June, some doubts of their infallibility will ere long be apprehended.
In a late CONTINENTAL paragraph, extracted from a Dublin paper, gave some account of Mr. Cox, the celebrated bridge-architect, having been tried in a Judicial Court, in that city, on a charge of inciting artisans to quit Ireland. We are happy, by being in possession of letters from the son of that gentleman, now in Europe, to give some explanatory intelligence on the subject—and present the following.
Extract of a letter dated Liverpool, May 29.
"As bad news always flies fast, I suppose you may have heard, that my father was taken up and was obliged to give bail in £ 2000, to stand trial, for, (as it was said) having seduced artificers. It was not the case, but as follows: Three tradesmen came to him, and asked how their business would answer in America—He very candidly told them. They wished him to advance them money to take them over, but he told them, it was of no service to him their going over, but if it was, and he should do it, he would be liable to 600 fine, and twelve months imprisonment. About three months after, one of these fellows took it in his head to lodge information against my father, for which he stood trial the 10th of this month, and was honorably acquitted—The jury did not leave their box."
NEW-YORK, Aug. 28.
We learn from Captain Randall, of the Washington , that the British Ambassador, Lord Macartney, after having visited Pekin, and travelled through the country to Canton, had embarked on board the Lion , Captain Sir Erasmus Gower, on his return to Europe. The success of his Lordship's mission was not known.
Captain Gower had 17 ships under his protection from Canton; and 23 from St. Helena.
Continuation of EUROPEAN NEWS, received by the Mohawk, from London, and the Prudence from London.
OSTEND, June 25.
On Monday last, the French attacked the Allies at Peteghem and Deynse—It appears that a part of the Duke of York's army had marched to Peteghem, for the purpose of co-operating with General Clairfayt at Deynse—After a very severe and well fought action, the allies retreated on all sides, and the French made themselves masters of Peteghem and Deynse at the point of the bayonet. The allies retreated to Ghent, whither they were pursued by the French. Unable to resist the victorious army, that city was forced to throw open its gates to them, and Ghent is now in the possession of the French. The magazines which fell into their hands are immense.
[This is afterwards contradicted.]
Another packet failed this morning, but carried no mails, the post being still stopped.
Lord Moira, with his army, marched from the town yesterday at 2 o'clock. It is said they are gone to Sluys, to endeavor to join the Duke of York, who, it is also said, is retreating to Holland.
BERLIN, June 21.
A Royal Chasseur arrived yesterday preceded by six possessions, with the account of the conquest of the town and fortress of Cracow.
Head-Quarters of his Prussian Majesty. MICHALOW, June 15.
The following report from Major General Elsner, commander of the army detached against Cracow, was received this day by his Majesty.
On the 14th General Elsner advanced with his troops towards the defile of Michalowica; this was occupied by the enemy. The General attacked their cavalry, and drove them into the entrenchments before Cracow. Thirty Polish chasseurs were cut to pieces in this engagement, and a Captain and 8 privates were made prisoners.
Our loss, together with that of the Russians, consists only of one hussar, and five infantry. General Elsner fired some pieces of cannon upon the infantry during their retreat, and in the evening encamped his corps with a light of Cracow.
On the 15th early in the morning, Lieutenant Reifwitz, of the regiment of Wurttemberg, was sent to summons Cracow. A delay till nine o'clock was requested, and granted.—Lieutenant Reifwitz was again sent before the time expired, threatened, that if the town did not resolve to surrender, that it should be bombarded. At eleven o'clock the General received a message, that the town and castle were ready to surrender at discretion. The General immediately ordered Colonel Lediwary, with two battalions of infantry, and two squadrons of cavalry, to take possession of the town and castle. The five hundred National Guards have been forced to lay down their arms; and all those who were found in arms, have been treated as prisoners of war.
PARIS, June 20.
The two principal conspirators against Robespierre and Collot d'Herbois, with 52 other persons, were condemned to die on the 19th June.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
June 19.
Barrere informed the Convention,
that the brave garrison of Landrecy, consisting of 4400 fine young fellows, had been carried to Brussels, where they received the most tempting offers to engage them to enter into the service of the Emperor, but which had been rejected by all except twelve; a circumstance that, he said, sufficiently evinced that soldiers raised by the law of requisition, were inspired with the utmost enthusiasm for the public cause.
LONDON, July 1.
The Flanders Mail of this morning, owing to every kind of intercourse between the different places in the Netherlands being entirely suspended for the present, brought only one bag containing a few letters from Ostend.—No Newspapers or letters from Brussels or any other part of Flanders. Any accounts therefore from that quarter have no authority from that of rumours in circulation at Ostend, and can only be appreciated by the concurring testimony of circumstances, and the general uniformity of their contents. There are contradictions in some particulars stated in the letters from Ostend, but all agree in the fact that the French forces in Flanders are greatly superior to those of the allies, that they may be considered as masters of that country.
Mr. Mason, the messenger, arrived at the Secretary of State's Office this morning, with dispatches from his Royal Highness the Duke of York. The late events of the campaign have been as disastrous to the allies as our greatest enemies would wish them. The interruption of all regular communication was a sufficient indication of the successes of the enemy in West Flanders; and the following official communication (which owing to the late hour at which it was received, appeared in only a part of our impression yesterday) shows that East Flanders they have been no less successful.
If we may judge of the other inhabitants of West Flanders from the disposition manifested by those of Bruges, it is vain to pretend to force our protection upon them; they want it not.
DUKE OF YORK'S ARMY.
Camp at Tournay, June 28.
A second council of war was held this day, from 10 till 3, but never were troops kept more in the dark than the British. A disagreement was said to have taken place between the Duke of York and the Prince de Cobourg, and about 4 o'clock the Austrian cavalry and infantry began moving off the ground for the Sambre. In the evening our regiments had to strike tents and roll on their arms, and our piquets were withdrawn without the line of intrenchments. The Hessians also with the part of artillery had been at Rhume, returned and joined us. The heavy baggage was sent off to Grammont.
June 23.
All is consternation on the part of the inhabitants of this devoted city (Tournay,) and every preparation is making by the British for retreating; whilst the Austrian treachery is the theme of execration from every tongue!
We have long suspected the Austrian policy respecting this country. From the beginning of the campaign the Emperor was greatly deficient in the number of troops, which by the treaty he was bound to keep in West Flanders, and now the deficiency amounts to more than 60,000. This has been the real and original cause of all our want of success this campaign. Three weeks ago he began removing all his military stores from Brussels into Germany; and the manoeuvres of the Austrians within these few days have completely opened the eyes of the most unsuspecting, to the real situation of the British army here.
PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 28.
Mr Fenno, Reports are industriously circulated tending to induce a belief that an amicable adjustment with the malcontents in the western parts of this state, has become certain. We understand that there are some favorable appearances—but a proof that they do not justify the very sanguine conclusions which are drawn is that measures of preparation for a different issue are going on with unabated exertions.
In such an undetermined state of the business, what can be the motive for propagating the belief abovementioned. Is it to cool the zeal of good citizens and relax the measures which the support of the laws may be eventually found to require?

Richmond, August 20th, 1794,
Sir,
YOU will readily discover from the enclosed PROCLAMATION, how very solicitous the Executive are to save their
Fellow-Citizens and Country from the horrors and disgrace which afflict and defame a sister State; and you will perceive our apprehensions that the Insurgents may, by their acts and emissaries, mislead some of our countrymen, unless counter-exertions are made in time by the good and influential citizens. In this situation I not only forward to you by Express the enclosed Act of Government, but also address you particularly; entreating you from your duty to the Commonwealth, love of order, and love of country, to avail yourself of every means in your power to counteract the latent designs of your deluded neighbours, and to bring to punishment all who openly in any manner violate the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth.
Disagreeable as it is to point the bayonet against the breast of a fellow-citizen, it is still more so to obey a mob, and therefore but one opinion prevails among all orders of people in every part of the state from which I have as yet heard, viz. detestation of the Pennsylvania Insurgents, of their principles, and actions, and determination to compel their submission to legal authority.
Orders have been issued for a large detachment of our militia to march under the command of General Morgan, at a moment's warning, and the whole body of militia are ready to follow, was the same necessary. With reliance on your due exertions, and confidence that my fellow-citizens of your county will act the part which our common good and common happiness so strongly dictates.
I remain, &c. (Signed) H. LEE.
By the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS I have received information that a banditti from the Western parts of Pennsylvania, have in defiance of law and order, passed into this Commonwealth, and by threats and other evil doings, compelled an Officer of the United States, living in Morgan Town, in the County of Monongalia, to abandon his home, and seek personal safety by flight:—AND WHEREAS I have reason to believe that the said banditti are a part of that deluded combination of men, described in the President's Proclamation of 7th inst. of this present month, who forgetful of all obligations human and divine, form intent only on rapine and anarchy, and therefore endeavour by their emissaries, and other illegal means, to seduce the good people of this Commonwealth, inhabiting the country bordering on the State of Pennsylvania, to unite with them in schemes and measures, tending to destroy the tranquility and order which so happily prevails, and thereby to convert the blessings we so eminently enjoy under our free and equal government, into the most affliction miseries which can possibly befall the human race!
To arrest these wicked designs; to uphold the Majesty of the law; to preserve our fellow citizens from evil, and our country from disgrace, I have thought proper, by and with advice of the Council of State, to issue this my Proclamation, calling on all officers civil and military, to exercise with zeal, diligence and firmness, every legal power vested in them respectively, for the purpose of detecting and bringing to trial every offender or offenders, in the premises. And I do moreover specially require and enjoin, that all persons coming into this Commonwealth, from that part of our sister State, at present so unhappily distracted, be particularly watched; and if they shall be found disseminating their wicked and pernicious doctrines, or in any way exciting a spirit of disobedience to government, thereby violating the peace and dignity of this Commonwealth, that they be immediately apprehended and dealt with according to law.
GIVEN under my hand, as Governor, and under the Seal of the Commonwealth, at Richmond, this twentieth day of August, in the (Seal.) Year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and ninety four, and of the Commonwealth, the nineteenth.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved.
THE subscription 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 new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary- land, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Caro- lina, and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map.

At any place or places from the said head navigation of Little River over to the Miami Village.  29. At any place or places from the mouth of the river Tennessee to Oconeechappoo Bear Creek, on the said river, including the same.  30. At any place or places from the mouth of the river Cumberland to Nashville, on the said river, and at Nashville.  31. And At any place or places within thirty miles of said Nashville to the South-ward, Westward or Northward thereof.  Should any rations be required at any place, or within other districts, not specified in these proposals, the price of the same is to be hereafter agreed on between the United States and the contractor. The rations to be supplied are to consist of the following articles, viz.
One pound of bread or flour, One pound of beef, or \frac{3}{4} of a pound of pork, One quart of salt, Two quarts of vinegar, } per 100 rations. Two pounds of soap, One pound of candles, }
The rations are to be furnished in such quantities, as that there shall at all times, during the said term, be sufficient for the consumption of the troops at each of the said posts, for the term of at least three months in advance, in good and wholesome provisions, if the same shall be required. It is to be understood in each case, that all losses sustained by the depredations of the enemy, or by means of the troops of the United States, shall be paid for at the prices of the articles captured or destroyed, on the deposits of two or more persons of creditable characters, and the certificate of a commissioned officer, ascertaining the circumstances of the loss, and the amount of the articles for which compensation shall be claimed.
The contract for the above supplies will be made either for one year, or for two years, as may appear eligible. Persons disposed to contract will therefore confine
their offers to one year, as they may form their propositions so as to admit an election of the term of two years.
The offers may comprise all the places which have been specified, or a part of them only.
It is also Desired, that proposals may be offered for supplying at the two posts of Fort Washington and Pittsburgh all the rations necessary for the main Army, its detachments and the Garrison above mentioned during the said year 1795. The provisions &c. which will be received at Pittsburgh will be those which shall be necessary for the troops at that place and at the posts north, north-west and in the vicinity, on the west thereof. The provisions which will be received at Fort Washington will be those which shall be required for the remainder of the troops, for the principal detachments and for the main Army. The expense and trouble of safe keeping, unpacking and issuing the provisions deliverable under this second form of the propositions, will be saved to the Contractors. The exact proportion of the whole supplies, which will be required at each of the two Posts of Fort Washing- ton and Pittsburgh will be determined at the time of executing the contract. Aug. 21 taw&f

One thousand Dollars REWARD.
Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately discovered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter D, for their alphabetical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure. No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately issued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dollars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz. The person or persons, who engraved the plate. The printer, or printers of the said bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.

The Public are cautioned to 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 appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O. to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true Bills. Some of the counterfeiters bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills 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 similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer 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 but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five dollar Bills as described above, the O being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters eat in the word Twenty, to 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 Ta and the y going below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured 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 and uttering the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier surface 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, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as 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 Committee of the Relative Boards.
