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 inter- 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, empties 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 Phi- ladelphia, 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 en 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 Phi- ladelphia, or to Thomas Eddy, at New York, relative to this business, will be duly answered.

C. W. PEALE.
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 dissemi- nating 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.

Christiana Mills
For Sale.
THIS DAY being the first of Septem- ber, at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia, will be sold by public vendue, two tracts 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 are a large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with stabling and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Pat- teron's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently situ- ated 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.
The terms upon which the above men- tioned estates will be sold are—one thou- sand pounds to be paid on executing the deeds, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionably for each part.
Indispitable titles will be made for the property, by

NEW-YORK, Aug. 26.
In the Minerva of August 5th we stated from good authority, that the Convention of France had been alarmed at the strength of the popular societies, and we have repeatedly predicted that those private clubs would be annihilated, or they would annihilate all other authority. Yesterday a writer in the Minerva censured us for this opposition to popular societies: and this morning the Daily Advertiser gives us a letter from Paris, which announces that "the popular societies are to be abolished." The public will judge on whose information, they can place most reliance.
The subject of taxes is one of the most difficult that falls under the cognizance of a legislative body. Government is essential to society, and therefore must be supported; taxes are therefore indispensable; and the more free the government is, the more heavy will the necessary taxes be, and the more cheerfully will they be paid by citizens who know how to appreciate the blessings of liberty. But from what sources shall the revenue be derived? The farmer justly answers from luxury, and not, (as long as can be avoided) from the culture of the earth and the labors of the husbandman. But what say the southern Democrats? shall a small tax be laid on snuff and loaf-sugar! no says the Democratic society of Philadelphia. Shall it be laid on distilleries? no, say the whisky drinkers of Kentucky. Shall it be laid on coaches and chariots? no, say the Democrats of Virginia. This would be oppression—will not be submitted to—There must be a land tax.

PHILADELPHIA, SEPTEMBER 1.
An express arrived at the War Office on Saturday last from the Genesee Country (within the state of New-York) with dispatches for the Executive of the United States, which were immediately laid before the President. Several private letters received by the same conveyance, advise that a peremptory order had been issued by Colonel Simcoe, the Governor of Upper Canada, requiring an immediate removal of the inhabitants who have been for some time settled on a tract of land in that country, within the bounds of the United States, agreeably to the Treaty of Peace. They likewise inform that Capt. Williamson, and the other citizens of the United States, who are principally concerned in the settlements of those lands, were determined, to resist the said order, and were preparing to oppose any force that may be sent to deprive them of their lawful rights and property.

French Official Account
Of the late Naval Engagements with the British fleet.
[The Editor has been favoured with a copy of the Journal, (published in France, by the Commissioner of the National Convention) of the events which took place in the late cruise of the French Grand Fleet. It is a pamphlet of 50 odd pages, and contains many minute particulars, intirely uninteresting to the American reader; we have therefore procured a faithful translation of the most material transactions, and present to the public the following.]
SUMMARY of the JOURNAL.
Of the cruise of the French fleet, commanded by Admiral VILLARET, kept daily by the Representative JEAN BON ST. ANDRE, and printed at Brest.
27 Floreal, Æ. (May 16.)
SAILED from the road, with 25 sail of the line, 15 frigates, and 1 corvette.
30 Floreal (May 19.) Fell in with a fleet of ten sail of Merchantmen, and a corvette; the former, recaptures from the French; and the latter their convoy, taken by the English. A surgeon remaining on board the corvette, informed, that their captors had failed with forty-eight vessels—Twelve had taken their route to India; Six were destined to intercept Neilly's division; and it was these that retook those vessels which have again fallen into our hands:—The remainder were to cruise off Brest, and the entrance of the channel. This day joined by the Patriote, one of Neilly's Squadrons.
2 Prairial (May 22.) Fell in with five or six vessels, part of 50 sail; who said they belonged to a Dutch fleet of fifty vessels, under convoy of a frigate, from Lisbon, bound to Amsterdam; which had been attacked by two French ships and captured.
3 Prairial. All the fleet in view, except the Proserpine, Seine and Insurgent frigates, who have not rejoined. Discovered three sail bearing down upon us, proved to be the Proserpine and Seine, with a Dutch frigate. They confirmed what we had heard the day before, respecting the convoy from Lisbon. Besides the frigate they had only manned one galliot; for the reliance which the frigate had made, gave time for the merchantmen to escape.
5 Prairial. Joined by the Galathea, one of Neilly's squadrons, having parted from him the evening before; informed us, that the Thames had joined him, from whom they learnt our position.
9 Prairial, (May 28.) In the morning we were running before the wind to the Northward, in hopes to meet Neilly's division, when the frigates ahead threw out a signal for a fleet to leeward. We soon found them to be British, consisting of thirty-six sail—going close upon a wind, with their starboard tacks aboard. As soon as they discovered us, they formed their line of battle. The French fleet also formed, with their larboard tacks aboard. The British fleet put about on the same tack with us. The whole day was spent in evolutions. The wind had considerably increased, with a heavy sea: we found it necessary to reef topsails, which retarded our movements. The line was well formed, though not close enough. Towards night, the enemy were near enough to our rear to exchange a few shots.
10 Prairial. At day break we discovered the enemy about a league to leeward, upon the same tack with us. They then put about, their intention evidently being to attack our rear. We also put about. We now discovered that the Revolutionaire had parted company. Whether she had received so much damage the evening before as to prevent her keeping the line, or from any other cause, was matter of conjecture. Our headmost ships were soon engaged with the enemy, which was bravely sustained. The enemy perceiving that our rear might be cut off, disposed themselves for that purpose, perceiving their design, the Admiral, by signal, asked if they were in a situation to put about? They answered in the negative.—He then made the signal for them to wear, which was either not seen, or not comprehended; for it was not executed. The enemy took the advantage of this tardiness; and the rear suffered the whole weight of the British fire; while our van had not an
enemy to combat. L'Indomptable, and le Tyrannicide were already in danger; these two ships fought with the greatest intrepidity, firing on both sides, and were quite disabled. The signal was then given to join them, and form the line as the ships came up. The line was rapidly and regularly formed; before the English, who tacked upon us, could form their line, we attacked them vigorously; two of their vessels lost their top-masts, many others must have suffered much in this engagement, which was the third this day, and lasted an hour and an half. We repaired then the damage our rear had sustained. I ought to render justice to the commanders of the ships; they all behaved with courage; if they could have added experience, the day would have terminated gloriously for them, and advantageous to the Republic.—Capt. Homel, of the Indomptable, and Dordelin of the Tyrannicide, deserve to be distinguished among those who united knowledge to the spirit which was common with all. We had in the evening a compensation for the fatigues of the day—a dispatch-boat from Brest, brought us intelligence of Neilly's squadron, which he had parted from that day, eight leagues to the northward, in chase of a disabled vessel—possibly the Revolutionaire. We dispatched instantly the boat, with orders to return and inform Neilly of our position:—A few minutes after the signal was made for ships ahead.—We lay too all night.
11 Prairial (May 30.) In the morning we were joined by Admiral Neilly, with three ships, Sans Pareil, Trojan, and Temeraire, with two frigates, the Thames and Gentille, who had separated from us, and a sloop of war, of 20 guns, a prize. The Nainde and Maire-Guiton, whom we had dispatched to convoy the fleet we had recaptured, also joined;—this convoy, destined to successive re-captures, had again fallen into the hands of the British, but the Nainde and Maire Guiton had the good fortune to escape. Admiral Neilly tells us, that he left the Audacieux in chase of a disabled ship. We think it very probable to be the Revolutionaire. Neilly was ordered to take the command of the van, and Admiral Bouvet of the rear. A thick fog the whole day which continued during the night, and the next morn.
12 Prairial. At noon the fog began to dissipate; the British fleet were to windward, and were the first to improve it, by arranging themselves. The fog at this time prevented our seeing more than 7 or 8 of our vessels; the rest were still covered, and we knew not if any had separated. As it cleared away, we discovered the rest of our fleet, except the Indomptable, (which we supposed had been obliged to steer for Brest, with the Brutus frigate, who had her in tow) the Montagne and the Seine frigate. The defection of these two vessels was enough to astonish us. The Montagne had suffered but little! The English fleet bore down under full sail. They hoped to take us in disorder. They were not formed, but as they came down they extended their line. The fleet of the Republic quickly formed in the common order: Every one was at his post in good time, and the distances were well observed. The frigates performed their duty with promptitude, and order was established with precision hitherto unknown since the opening of our campaign. The Thames made sail to windward of us about two leagues, and under her topsails, run slowly down the English line, counted them, and, by signal, informed that it consisted of twenty-four ships, the heaviest of which were placed in the centre. All the dispositions being made, they hauled their wind, and we run under our mizen and two top-sails.
13 Prairial (June 1.) The English fleet were to windward, bearing down upon us; they afterwards took their larboard tacks aboard, and manoeuvred to attack us. They then consisted of 28 sail of the line, and we saw some to windward forming a reserve. The Captain of the Proserpine assures us, that he counted thirty four in all, eight of which three deckers—Nevertheless we were ready to receive them. The attack began at 9 o'clock in the morning, and becoming general, was very hot; both sides fought with spirit, when an awkward manoeuvre of the Jacobin created the greatest disorder:—This ship was in the rear of the commander in chief; in drawing too near upon us she left an opening in the line; he perceived his fault too late, and backing his main-top-sail to recover his station, fell to leeward of us. The English Admiral, who perceived this embarrassment, quitted his attack upon the Montagne, with intention to break the line at this place, which he effected—The fault might have been repaired, and his own

imprudence might have been turned to advantage against him, if the Jacobin had wore ship—orders for which were given, but they were not obeyed. The English Admiral whose attack was principally upon us, after discharging a broadside into the Achilles, raked the Montagne, with great execution. One hundred men, at least, were killed by these deadly discharges, and our stern suffered exceedingly. We received the rapid fire of the enemy, and could not return it, for fear of injuring one of our own vessels. At length we brought our guns to bear upon him, and prevented our broadside, which he could not long sustain, but steered off with the loss of his main and mizen mast.
Instantly we were surrounded by five or six ships. We fired on both sides, and sunk a ship of the enemy to windward, and all who came near us were roughly handled. The battle was horrible! The ships were engaged without order, and fought within pistol shot, with a carnage that has no example! The clouds of smoke prevented us from seeing what passed around. Our frigates report that the Montagne was invisible for two hours, and that she could be discovered only by her tremendous artillery. However, through a gleam of light, the commander in chief perceived that the van had given way. Rear-Admiral Bouvet, who commanded, was the only one that maintained his post. He was to windward of the enemy, fighting obstinately, having lost his main-mast. To join his division he bore away through the British fleet with great boldness. The enemy seeing our van give way, attacked the rear. Admiral Neilly sustained the shock with firmness, and assures us, that he saw one of their ships sink.
It is impossible to be particular in the movements of this day. In the heat of the action we could only ascertain principal events. The battle slackened after about five hours. The Commander in Chief discovered the van two leagues to leeward. The rear could not be seen. Three ships were to windward of the enemy, with their starboard tacks aboard: they appeared to have suffered but little, and doubtless withdrew betimes.
We joined the rear: almost all the vessels that composed it were disabled. The Republican preferred only her mizen-mast and every thing announced that they had made a resistance worthy of them.
Some of our disabled ships were very distant to windward, among the English ships who were in the same situation. We lay too, to give time to take in tow such disabled ships as our situation permitted us to relieve; and such was the weakness of the enemy, that we were not disturbed.
We counted in the two fleets seventeen ships disabled by the board, besides those who preferred the stumps of their masts.
If the van had kept more to windward, we should not only have saved our own ships, but many of the English must have fallen into our hands.
The English had the advantage of numbers, but not the superiority of courage or fire. They had also the advantage of the wind, which was the cause of some of our vessels falling into their hands, who, from their position, were totally unable to defend themselves, for all who preferred a stump to host a sail upon, after the most honorable resistance, escaped from the enemy. We left them in a worse state than we were; if it had still been possible for them to attack us, they had the opportunity, for we did not fly; they did not even move to prevent our small corvettes from taking in tow such of our ships as were out of the line.
We lay too five or six hours to rest; after which we kept our wind under topsails. We collected nineteen large vessels, viz. La Montagne, Mucius,* Trojan, Scipion, Republique, Entrepre- neur,* Patriote, Gaspard,* Temeraire, Neptune, Terrible, Pelletier, Jacobin, Convention, Trente un-Mai, Gennapess, Tyrannicide, Tourville, and the Zole.
The number of killed and wounded, has been great; the Montagne alone had 200 killed, and 100 nearly mortally wounded. I do not mention slight wounds, for scarce an individual on board the Montagne, had escaped unhurt. The ardor of the crews exceeds description; and it was the inexperience of some Captains, particularly of the Captain of the Jacobin, that snatched from us the most brilliant victory.
After the engagement the wind was fortunately light, and the sea smooth, which gave us an opportunity of effecting the most urgent repairs. Some of
The Trojan, Patriote, and Temeraire, were three of Neilly's four ships that joined.
our vessels had suffered very little. The disabled ships were the Mucius, Scipion, Republique, Terrible and Gennapess—These bore the marks of the courage with which they fought.
We learn from report of the Captains, that there were probably three English ships sunk. The Neptune saw one in the rear, and many others saw her.—It was the one that Neilly spoke of; the Tourville and Gaspard saw the one sunk that we had seen. The Tourville saw an English ship close with the Impetueux; and in the shock both went down.
The following days afford nothing remarkable, the weather was mild and favorable for the necessary communications.
21 Priarial, (June 9.) Discovered seventeen sail ahead running upon a different tack; we soon found them to be a squadron of the enemy. They consisted of twelve ships of the line, and five frigates or sloops. They however did not think it to give us battle, and in our disabled state we could not oblige them to it. We gave chase with a light wind, but they crowding sail we gave up a fruitless pursuit. By this happy circumstance we drove them from the route of the convoy from the United States.
22 Priarial (June 10.) Made Cape Raze, and the next day anchored in the road of Bertheaume. Happily the American convoy arrived the day following, and, after a severe campaign, we had the pleasing reflection to think that we had saved it.

EXTRACT.
Although the Pittsburgh rioters have, after an opposition to the Excise Law for four years, after every conciliatory measure has been adopted on the part of the government, after every other part of the Union has acquiesced in the law, risen in open rebellion against the government and laws, burnt and destroyed houses and farms, and murdered and proscribed inoffensive citizens, yet President has sent a commission of three respectable characters to endeavour to restore them to a sense of their civil duties, before he would resort to the harsher but unavoidable measures of coercion.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.
Authentic accounts from Baltimore of the 26th ult. say, that the people are under very serious apprehensions that the Philadelphia Fever has been introduced there—A Mr. M. of Boston died there the 25th, and one of the Physicians* said he had no doubt from Doctor Rush's publication it is the same fever—The town is said to be very sickly, particularly at the Point—The inhabitants are taking every precaution to prevent its spreading.
* The Doctor has since said it is only the yellow fever.
One day last week, a new born infant was found dead in the Commons in Southwark, with its head very much bruised and battered.—It is a shocking consideration that several instances of this kind have recently occurred.
GERMAN REPUBLICAN SOCIETY.
July 29.
The following resolutions were proposed adopted, and ordered to be published.
Resolved, that as the opinion of this Society, that every law enacted by the majority of the people ought to be submitted to, and that every opposition to the laws by violence is unconstitutional and dangerous.
Resolved, that this Society highly disapprove of the resistance of the citizens of the western counties of Pennsylvania to a law of the United States, as such hostility is contrary to the constitution of our country, and repugnant to every principle of liberty.
Resolved, that as citizens who estimate the blessings of freedom, order and union we will, at all times, discountenance every attempt to resist the will of the majority by force, and will ever consider attempts of this sort as subversive of the principles of a free government.
By order of the Society, Henry Kammerer President.

BRUSSELS, June 23.
Six in the Evening.
The alarm of the inhabitants has not subsided. All the Nobility and persons of property are gone, and the people left to their fate. This circumstance has made a
deep impression on the minds of the people, one of whom, as I passed the Hotel de Ville, exclaimed to his companions, who were listening to him with great attention.
"It is thus we are always treated. In the hour of calamity these governors and Nobility desert us, and in the period of prosperity they return and riot on the produce of our labors."
Perhaps there never was a speech more calculated ad captandum than this.
On the 21st the French were in great force at Gosselies, and their advanced posts were between Gosselies and Fraissier. General Spiegel was then at Quatre Bras, Gen. Beaulieu at Petit Mehin. A most tremendous cannonade was heard, which proceeded from the army before Charleroi.
Yesterday the enemy advanced and secured the possession of Gemappe. The movement occasioned general alarm.
Towards the evening, however, it was reported that general Latour has succeeded in driving the enemy from their position at Chapelle Herlaimont and that he had advanced his posts to Trefignies and Anderlues. This intelligence was not confirmed by any official accounts.
During the night, which few of the alarmed inhabitants passed in sleep, it was said that the French had fallen back from Gosselies, and that the Prince of Cobourg had arrived at Ath, about nine leagues from Brussels. The cannonade against Charleroi continued with unabated fury.
June 24, nine o'clock, P.M. The emigrants having offered their services to Marshal Bender, they were assembled in the menage of the court. They were there divided into four companies of 130 men each. The necessary arms and ammunition were delivered to them, together with two six pounders.
A proclamation, in the name of his Imperial Majesty, was this morning issued by found of trumpets and beat of drums. In this proclamation the inhabitants of Brussels and the suburbs are invited to assemble, form officers, and be in readiness to march at a moment's notice. Hitherto this proclamation has not been attended with the desired success.
The following intelligence contained in a private letter, has just been read to the inhabitants—
"As soon as the Prince of Cobourg received intelligence that the French threatened Brussels, he removed his headquarters from Tournay to Ath, in order to watch the motions of the enemy. He arrived at Ath on the night before last, and immediately made the necessary dispositions to force the enemy to abandon their enterprise. He sent a large detachment to relieve Charleroi; and an attack being made on the enemy, they were forced to relinquish those positions which they had taken on the preceding day."
"The Prince Cobourg was expected at Enghein last night."
What degree of credit this deserves I have not yet been able to ascertain.

Sitting of the Jacobins.
26th Priarial, June 14.
Denunciation of Bourdon de L'Oise. Couthon in a long speech, denounced Bourdon de L'Oise, whom he accused of being the author of a conspiracy against the Committee of Public Safety. He charged him with attempts to divide the patriots, by infusing into the minds of the people an idea that the Committee meant to domineer over the Convention. Couthon concluded by declaring that the wishes of the Committee of Public Safety, were to preserve Equality, the Unity and Indivisibility of the Republic, and by pronouncing a very warm eulogium on the character of Robespierre.
The Society resolved that Bourdon de L'Oise should be required to state the reasons that induced him to attempt to destroy the confidence which Robespierre possessed in the mind of every patriot.
LONDON, July 1.
The black board at Lloyd's yesterday contained the accounts of more than 20 ships of different nations being carried as prizes to Brest.
An extract from a Plymouth letter dated the 27th inst. was on Saturday stuck up at Lloyd's Coffee-House, which states a small French Squadron to be at sea, in lat. 47. long. 13.
Resolutions have been entered into by several of the Parishes of Dublin, "not to illuminate but for peace."
BELFAST, July 3.
The present situation of the allied army, under the command of Prince Cobourg and the Duke of York, is peculiarly critical.—Pichegru, of the North West, is in possession of West Flanders, which cuts off all communication with the sea, short of Antwerp, which lies 80 miles distant from Tournay whilst on the other side, Jourdain has advanced as far as the neighbourhood of Brussels, which cuts off entirely the communication with Luxembourg, &c.—If it is a fact, the French have seized on the Post of Oudenarde, there is not above 30 miles between the advanced posts of the French in the rear of the combined army.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. PENNO.
THE very interesting representation of the proceedings of the State Commissioners, in relation to the disturbances in the county of Alleghany, must convince every man who is not a hardened unbeliever, that the opposition to the laws in the four western counties of Pennsylvania, and the consequent outrages, have been altogether the result of chance and sudden bursts of passion—and that the influence of the leading men there (who were fortunately known to the two commissioners) was directed to the maintenance of order, and the prevention of all Conventions, committees of safety and assemblies of men in military array. All the mischief therefore done and intended to be done, must be wholly chargeable to the thirty or forty militia men, who happened to be at Dr. Beards, when the news arrived, that the Marshal had been active in the lawful discharge of his duty. It was this small body of men who made the first attack upon General Neville's house—were repulsed and returned to the charge in company with a thousand more equally determined with themselves—It was they who founded the teen throughout the four counties and caused the people to assemble in arms in Braddock's fields—It was they who broke open the mail and dispatched couriers throughout the neighbouring counties—It was they who proscribed and banished from their homes, several respectable citizens for obeying the laws of their country—It was they who suggested the idea of a Convention at Parkinson's Ferry—In fine, these thirty or forty intrepid militia men, are the very persons, who in an unbridled gust of passion, chose the committee of twelve, with whom commissioners on the part of the general government and the government of Pennsylvania have been and are now deliberating, whether the laws of the union shall be respected or the blood of its citizens shed in attempting to enforce obedience to them! It must be acknowledged that there is something marvellous in this statement of the business—but what of that? If it is annoying that miracles are performing in a remote corner of the union and any man should doubt the reality of them, let him depute persons who believe in the existence of such miracles to ascertain the facts, and if they do not vouch the truth of them, I am no

FROM realm to realm, with erts or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank; To caves bestrew'd with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; —Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And murm'ring demons bate him, and ad- mire.

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 fourteen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Genessee Government, South Carolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former edition of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a preference in any other edition of Guthrie. N.B. The map of the United States, which is compiled 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. Murray's map.

 One pound of bread or flour,  One pound of beef, or 1/2 of a pound of pork,  One quart of salt,  Two quarts of vinegar,  Two pounds of soap,  One pound of candles,  per 100 rations.
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 required 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 required at Fort Washington will be those which shall be required for the remainder of the posts, 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 Washington and Pittsburgh will be determined at the time of executing the contract. Aug. 21 tawt10

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 fragile 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. WILLIAM PATTERSON, President. of the Bank of Maryland. Bmo, April 8, 1794.

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 imitations 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 in the word of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the i inclining much more forward than the f. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly much coarser and appears darker than in the genuine bills. Some of the counterfeits 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 counterfeited 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 a being less than the m, and on either side following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters e n t 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 T 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
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 glossy 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 unpolished state. The letter a in the word dollar, is badly formed and the whole word is 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 Committees of the respective Boards.
