CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, January 29.
Mr. New, from the committee of enrolments, reported the following bills. An act in addition to the act intituled an act to regulate the pay of the non commissioned officers, musicians and privates of the militia of the United States, when called into actual service, and for other purposes.
An act further extending the time for receiving on loan the domestic debt of the United States.
An act to authorize the settlement of the claim of Samuel Pruden.
An act making further provision in cases of drawbacks.
An act for the relief of Epaphras Jones and others.
An act supplementary to the several acts imposing duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported into the United States.
An act for reviving certain suits and proceedings, which have been discontinued in the district court of Pennsylvania.
An act for the remission of the tonnage duties on certain French vessels.
An act to establish an uniform system of naturalization, and to repeal the act heretofore passed on that subject.
Aaron Kitchell, member from the state of New Jersey, in room of the late Mr. Abraham Clark, was qualified and took his seat.
Mr. Coffin moved that the petition of Trillard Coffin, which was referred to the Secretary of the Treasury, in the last session of Congress, and which hath since been returned to the House without any report thereon, should be referred to the committee of claims. Agreed.
The bill to repeal a part, and continue in force another part, of the act for encouraging the importation of arms and ammunition into the United States, was read and passed.
The House then resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Cobb in the chair, to resume the consideration of the claims of Thomas Person and others to certain lands lying on the frontier of the state of South-Carolina, and ceded by the commissioners of the United States to the Indians.
Mr. Gillespie said that North-Carolina had not behaved in any way more exceptional than other States of the Union. If the Indians had a right to all their lands, which, as far as understood, nobody contested, then Henderson and others had a right to purchase, and the persons who purchased from him ought to be protected in the eye of the law. Mr. Gillespie explained at some length what reciprocal duties are owing by citizens to government, and by government to citizens. It was moved that the committee should rise.
Mr. Nicholas was satisfied that the purchasers of the lands had a claim either against the United States or the state of North-Carolina. Much had been said about the Indian right; but the Indians never had been fit to occupy these lands. It could never have been the design of Nature that these people should be termed the possessors of land which they were incapable to enjoy. He was upon the whole upon the side of the claimants, though he enumerated some of the difficulties that would attend an attempt to please all parties.
Mr. W. Smith had found much difficulty in forming his opinion upon this question. He had at first been somewhat disposed against the claimants; but at last, after full deliberation, he was convinced of the justice of giving them redress. He requested the particular attention and candour of the House. The United States were in this case made a judge in their own cause, and therefore it became more their duty to examine every part of the subject with the more accuracy. Mr. Smith then began a distinct detail of the circumstances in the present dispute. Previous to the year 1776, North-Carolina was a British colony, and the British crown considered itself as entitled to bellow grants of territory. In that year North-Carolina became a sovereign state, and consequently the conceived herself as succeeding to the right of the British crown, and as having a right to bellow grants in the same way as the kings of Britain had done. This claim was asserted in her general declaration of rights, and it was incorporated into her constitution. When North-Carolina entered into the Union, all the legislative rights of the state were preserved, and by a necessary inference her title to the lands comprehended in her original charter. In 1783, the state opened an office to sell the absolute
right of such lands as had not been disposed of. In 1789, North-Carolina ceded the right of jurisdiction to the United States, but she reserved her own legislative rights; and consequently her right to sell the lands within her own territory; and in disposing of the lands in question, the state did not intend merely to sell the right of pre-emption from the Indians, but the absolute title to the lands. Mr. Smith read a part of the Constitution of North-Carolina, in order to explain what degree of legislation the state had conceded to the federal government, and what part she had reserved to herself; and he was clearly of opinion, that the disposal of the lands had been reserved. In 1783, the state offered these lands for sale. In 1786, the commissioners of the United States assigned a great part of them to the Indians. In 1788, the legislature of North-Carolina declared that they would support the purchasers. The grand question now is, did the state by acceding to the confederation give up her right of legislation? She gave up her right to make Indian treaties, but reserved that of legislation, because, as above observed, it formed a part of her constitution, which was understood to continue unviolated. These lands were bought with certificates, which it was alleged, on the other side, would have purchased nothing else. [This was understood to be the meaning of the gentleman; but the intricacy of the question, and an accidental noise in the house made it difficult to be certain of his meaning.] If the certificates could purchase nothing else, it was proper at least that they should have been restored to their first owners, who might have subscribed them as a part of the public debt of the United States. They were certainly entitled either to their land or their certificates. These certificates, which were paid into the treasury of North-Carolina, were those of the United States. If the owners had only a pre-emptive right, Mr. Smith insisted that the certificates should be returned. [To be continued.]

MR. FENNO.
ALL sober discerning statesmen ought to support the Democratic Society; instead of attempting to suppress them. It cannot be denied that they afford a comfortable rendezvous for those who have been disappointed at elections, or in their attempts to climb into office; to ambitious antifaederalists who have lost the confidence of the people, to self-important demagogues, displaced assemblymen, young coxcombs whose merit has been overlooked, and to foreigners whose crimes or poverty made it necessary to seek for office, fortune and fame among us. In this city of refuge they can all meet and rail against the government, abuse their successful neighbours, whose merit has united to themselves the suffrage of the society, invent electioneering lies to displace them, and if this should be hopeless, they will at all events render them uneasy. The old men can brood over their sorrows, & draw a pleasing consolation from the misfortunes of each other. The sprightly young fellows and hungry foreigners may declaim upon speculative subjects, exhibit their degraded talents to advantage without much information, and give their names vast celebrity with the partial audience. It may be considered as a legislative school where political tactics are to be learned gratis. The disciplined veterans preside, and when the young dogs take a false scent the leaders of the pack draw them off, and point towards the game which must be run down; the docile little yelpers take the hint and spring forward, old and young raise a hideous yell, the sport is excellent. If the purified victim turn to defend himself, all drop their tails immediately, beg pardon, say they meant no harm, and declare that it is proper they should exercise their talents in this way, lest they might become ruffian and unfit for service upon a proper occasion. If all the ill humour and malignity of heart which is vented in these clubs should be indulged in taverns, coffee-houses, or beer-houses, we should have riots and broken heads every week; but from these laudable institutions there will be nothing more than an insurrection once in two or three years. Besides we have bright examples in Congress, who wittingly declare that an opposition, even to proper measures, is extremely laudable; for it would otherwise be forgotten that we have liberty of speech, unless ill-natured things were constantly said and done. Hence we see every day certain patriotic members blustering, and abusing their opponents, when they have not been previously consulted, and even declaring solemnly that liberty is in danger—but leave the management of the same business to themselves and they presently admit that its old shape may do well enough. This is all said to be right, because it elicits genius, hardens modest men and gives unblushing ignorant impudence the semblance of blunt patriotism. It is to be hoped that all future legislators of the General and State Governments will take lessons in these political academies. Here they will be taught how to manage the people to their own purposes, they can be properly drilled, and all emotions of sensibility effectually extinguished be-
fore they enter upon public life. They may then and not before, expect to snatch the palm of disorganization from those noble patrons of the Societies, who so eminently possess it at present.
A DEMOCRAT.
A CONTINUATION OF THE
Latest Foreign Advices
LEYDEN, December 11.
Private letters have been received here from Paris, dated the 3d of December. They contain a particular account of the victory gained by the army of the Eastern Pyrenees. The battle lasted four hours, at the expiration of which the Spaniards abandoned all their redoubts and batteries, from several of which not one shot had been fired.
A Prussian officer arrived at Paris, on the 27th of November. He immediately proceeded to the Committee of Public Safety with which he had a long conference. On the 29th he set out on his return. The object of his mission is a profound secret. The object of the mission of Treilhard and Elsenafferaux is kept equally secret.
It is probably to these members of the former committee of public safety that the letters from Switzerland allude which state that the French ambassador Barthélemy had lately notified to the Regency of Berne that two Representatives of the French People would soon arrive at Huningen. Some time ago it was said, that several persons were at Baden in Switzerland for the purpose of negotiating a peace. It was now said, the negotiation will be opened at Basle, where lodgings are already prepared for the Commissioners. A letter from Basle of the 19th of November contains the following information: "The aid-de-camp of field Marshal Mollendorf accompanied by several other officers has been here some days. He has had frequent interviews with Bacher the secretary of the French legation in this city."
Some persons pretend that these interviews related to peace whilst others affirm that the cause of them was merely an exchange of prisoners. The Marquis d'Yranda is also at Basle charged with a secret commission from the Court of Madrid.
The intelligence from our frontiers is very uninteresting. On the 7th the French reconnoitering party advanced to the Glacis of Bergen-op-Zoom. The firing against Breda ceased on the 15th.
AMSTERDAM, December 11.
Our fate is to be in a continued state of alarm. The enemy, by their repeated attempts upon our rivers, suffer us to entertain no doubt of the object of their designs against this country, and this pretended suspension of hostilities ill accords with the daily attacks which the enemy make from Bergen-op-Zoom to Emmerick. The editors of the Dutch papers use their utmost endeavours to conceal our danger by asserting that the termination of the war is at no great distance. One day we read of the disposition of the German Empire to peace—the next day we are assured that a negotiation is to be immediately opened at Baden or Basle.
From Fort St. Andre we are informed that the enemy still keep up an incessant fire upon the fort.
From the Rhine to the sea we are surrendered to all the horrors of war; specie too begins to be scarce. The provinces of Holland and Zealand have agreed to a large emission of paper money. The province of Groningen has followed their example, and has agreed to raise a loan, which is to bear 5 per cent interest for 5 years and afterwards 3 1-2.
PARIS.
November 16.
In the sitting of the 9th November, the Convention learned the news of the capture of Maestricht and the fortress of Rheinfels. The sittings which followed were extremely turbulent, and far more marked by passion and violence than utility:—and the affair of Carrier was constantly the obvious, as well as real motive of the contention.
On the 11th inst. the Committee of twenty-one was to make its report; to prevent this, the Jacobins assembled on the evening of the 9th in the Tuileries, palais royal, and other public places. They were accused of aiming to excite the people in their favor, and a violent contest ensued, some exclaiming, vivent les Jacobins, others vive la convention. The parties at length came to blows, and it appeared that the Jacobins, who were on their guard, were the strongest. It is to be observed, that they had just opened their sitting, when their hall was surrounded both by their adversaries and friends; confiding in the influence they had established over men's minds, they ventured to make several sorties, and on
these occasions made several prisoners, whom they, however, treated with moderation, contenting themselves with administering a few blows with the stick, and seizing them beside their president, after having placed a red bonnet on the head of each. The populace being soon apprised of what was transacting, ran to the Jacobins, where they attacked the members with clubs, and pelted them with a shower of stones, by which the windows were all broken. The females in the galleries were treated with much severity; and the hall was at length cleared and shut up by the sovereign people. The mob without now increased, and the national representatives were obliged to interfere to restore tranquility; the people dispersed, exclaiming, "that they were wearied with those Jacobins, those men of blood, who were eternally in opposition to the National Convention."
This commotion occasioned the following day (the 10th) a very tumultuous sitting in the Convention, where Duhem complained "that the patriots were assassinated, that the counter-revolutionists had revolted the evening before against the Jacobins; that the government committees were culpable in flying to their aid." Reubel, who had presided over the four committees the preceding evening, ascended the tribunal. "It cannot be doubted," he said, "that the very men who had been the ministers of tyranny, again wish to revive it. You have overthrown a tyrant, but tyranny is entrenched in the Jacobins; and indeed were not Robespierre, Couthon, and St. Just Jacobins? Were not the ministers of these tyrants chosen from among the Jacobins? Those who at Paris and in the departments are now the most exaggerated patriots, were they not at the commencement of the revolution the most marked Aristocrats, and are they not at this moment Jacobins? Who are they that have rendered the French Republic odious to every nation? The Jacobins." He now proceeded to state the measures which had procured so great a majority in the four committees, that there were scarcely two different voices. According to these measures, the sittings of the Jacobin society were to be suspended until it should be otherwise ordered. After some discussion it was decreed, on the motion of Goupilleau, that a circumstantial report should be made on that subject by the committee.
The sitting of the 11th was extremely tumultuous; and in the midst of this tumult it was announced, that the committee of twenty-one had concluded its labors on the accusation of Carrier and the Nantz committee. The news was received amidst the loudest applauses: and it was decreed that there should be immediately made. This was done by Rome, in the name of the committee, who stated that he alone of the twenty-one members had not voted for the accusation, because the law for the protection of the national representatives did not appear to be complete; he was, however, over-ruled and it was firmly maintained by his colleagues that the formalities required by this law were fully sufficient. Carrier, after the decree of arrest, quitted the bar, where he was put in the charge of the armed force; and has since been guarded at his own house by four Gens, d'Armes.
The secret committee, with which two members of the committee of public safety were charged, has given rise to various conjectures. The members, Treilhard and Elsenafferaux, have, it is said, set out for the Spanish frontier, and their mission is thought to relate to negotiations for peace with the Court of Madrid.
LONDON, December 9.
The Surrender of Mentz does not seem to have yet taken place, but the siege is carrying on with the Greatest vigour.
The letters from Frankfort unfortunately confirm the accounts from France of that Republic being willing to make peace with every power but England. The whole Empire of Germany appears to be decidedly for pacific measures, and the Emperor, in consequence, listening to the voice of the people is generally supposed to have actually entered into a regular negotiation with a French agent, who arrived at Vienna on the 19th ult.
Some French troops have crossed the Moselle, and were supposed to have moved towards Bacharach, upon the Rhine; but as the Austrians are strong in that quarter, it is not imagined they can proceed far.
An account had reached our army, from the army on the Rhine, that the Jacobins had been completely subdued at Paris, and that Moderatism prevailed. The account adds, that the Jacobins were dispersed without any disturbance.
We learn that there are letters in town from Paris, of the 17th November, which state, that on the report of the Committee of twenty-one, appointed to enquire into the public conduct of Carrier, this representative was put into a state of arrest, and sent to prison. The miscarriage, in a speech of some length, principally rested his defence on the atrocities committed by Marat Sylla—and the war of the League—on the massacre of St. Bartholomew—and on the cruelties perpetrated by the royalists. The news of his arrest no sooner reached the multitude assembled before the hall of the Convention, than the air resounded with uninterrupted shouts of "Vive la Republique! Vive la Convention!" The five letters add, that the Deputy Reubel, as President of the four United Committees, previously declared to the Convention, that the said Commit-
tees thought it necessary that the club of Jacobins should provisionally be shut up till further orders.
Thebevall Acquitted.
After the acquittal of Mr. Thebevall, Mr. Erskine and Mr. Gibbs, the counsel for the prisoner, were drawn from the Court to Serjeant's Inn, by an immense multitude; and amidst the most lively acclamations.
CHARITY SERMONS.
As the following address sets forth the laudable Purposes for which Sermons are to be delivered on Sunday next, February 8th, in Christ-Church and St. Peter's, and on some subsequent Sunday soon afterwards in St. Paul's, you are requested to publish the same, for the information of the Congregations belonging to those Churches and other Pious and well disposed Christians.
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America.
BRETHREN, WHEREAS, at a Convention of the Bishops, Clergy and Laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, held in the city of New-York, from Tuesday, September 11th, to Wednesday, September 19th, 1792, the following act for the support of Missionaries, to preach the Gospel on the frontiers of the United States, was passed, viz.
An ACT of the General Convention, for supporting Missionaries to preach the Gospel on the Frontiers of the United States.
I. RESOLVED, That it be recommended to the Ministers of this Church, to preach a sermon in each of the Churches under their care, on the first Sunday of September in every year; and if that day should not be adapted to the purpose, then on such other Sunday as the Minister and Vestry or Trustees of the congregation shall appoint, for the purpose of collecting money, in order to carry into effect this charitable design.
II. That the money, so collected, be entered in a record to be kept by the Vestries or Trustees of each congregation; and, by the Minister and Church Wardens or Trustees, be delivered to a Treasurer appointed by each State Convention, and by him transmitted to a Treasurer, who shall be appointed as herein after directed.
III. That such Missionaries as may be employed by this Church, be authorized to make collections of Money, from such congregations on the frontiers as may contribute; and render an accurate account to the Bishop of this church in the state of Pennsylvania, and the standing committee to be appointed by this Convention, of the sums thus collected.
IV. That the Bishop of this Church in Pennsylvania, and the said standing committee, frame an address to the members of this church, recommending this charitable design to their particular attention; which address shall be read by every Minister, on the day appointed for the collection.
V. That the Bishop of this Church in Pennsylvania, and the said standing committee, have authority to appoint a Secretary and a Treasurer; the first to carry on the correspondence, and the other to keep the accounts, and the monies of the Institution.
VI. That when it shall appear to the Bishop of this Church in Pennsylvania, had the standing committee to be appointed as aforesaid, that sufficient funds have been provided for the above purpose they shall then employ such Missionaries, allow such salaries, and make such arrangements, as to them shall seem best; reporting regularly their proceedings to each General Convention.
AND WHEREAS the Bishop of this Church in Pennsylvania, together with the other subscribers, as a committee, were appointed for carrying into effect the said act.
WHEREFORE, under the said appointment, we address you on the important subject committed to us.
In the state of the Congregations of our communion a few years ago, when, by a separation from the former center of their ecclesiastical union, they had become unconnected with one another, the first objects which engaged the Conventions, successively held, were—the re-uniting of the component parts of the body—the obtaining of the Episcopacy—and the reviewing of the Liturgy;—objects of so great magnitude

difficulty, that the measures the most proper to be pursued could not be attained, without frequent deliberation, nor determined on without much time and pains; although now happily carried into effect, with every appearance of stability, and it is hoped, to general satisfaction and edification.
Our Church being thus organized, on those principles of doctrine, discipline and worship, which we had inherited from the Church of England, and which had been handed down to us, through her, from the Apostles and the early Fathers of the whole Christian Church, it must be seen, that the principal object to be promoted by all, in their respective stations, is the effect of a good system, in an evangelical profession of Religion, and in holiness of heart and life; an effect which may be looked for, wherever provision has been made for the stated preaching of the word, and the administration of the Sacraments.
There are, however, many places, in which no such provision can be made by those who are to be benefited by it; owing to the difficulties attendant on the first settlement of a country, and to the circumstances of the settlers, which, in general, are barely competent to their subsistence. Of persons thus situated, there are very many, on the extensive frontier of the United States, who, having been educated in the faith and the worship of our Church, with to have the benefits of its ministry; but who are too few, in their respective neighbourhoods, to provide for it among themselves; or indeed to expect it at all, unless on the itinerant plan now proposed; and that to be principally effected by their sister churches, who are also more advantageously situated for a combined effort.
Under these circumstances, the Convention have thought it a duty, involved in the trust committed to them by the Great Head of the Church, to direct their attention to a people, whose circumstances so strongly claim it; and to call on the pious and liberal members of their communion, to aid them in the undertaking which these sentiments have suggested.
It has ever been held a duty, incumbent on every branch of the Christian Church, not to neglect, as far as opportunity shall offer, the publishing of the glad tidings of salvation, even to heathen nations. Accordingly, it cannot but be the desire of every member of our Communion, that something may be attempted by us, in due time, for assisting in conjunction with other Christian Societies in every laudable endeavour for the conversion of our Indian neighbours, notwithstanding former disappointments and discouragements: And it is the sincere wish and prayer of those who now address you, that the day may not be far distant, when Providence shall open the door, and we shall avail ourselves of the opportunity, for so good a work. But if this be a duty, how much more so is the extending of aid to those, who are of one Faith and one Baptism with ourselves; but who, from unavoidable causes, are without those means of public worship, which the Divine Author of our religion has accommodated to the wants and weaknesses of human nature; and which he saw to be, on those accounts, necessary for upholding the profession of his name.
The promise of Christ, to be with his Church to the end of the world, will never fail; a yet particular branch of the Universal Church may either flourish or decline, in proportion to their continuing in a pure profession and suitable practice on the one hand, and to their falling into error, or indifference and unholy living, on the other. However prosperous, therefore, the beginning of our Church in this new world hath been, she will have little reason to look up for a continuance of the Divine Blessing, if, when she contemplates so many members of her communion "scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd," she does not use her diligence to bring them within Christ's Fold, and to secure to them a stated administration of the ordinances of his religion.
Such was the case, in times past, of the Bishops, and of the most eminent of the Clergy, and of the Laity of the Church of England, for the fellow members of their communion, when struggling with the difficulties of settlement in the then infant Colonies, now the Independent States of our confederated Republic. The very existence of our Church, in some of these States, must be ascribed, under the blessing of God, to the aid, to which we here look back with gratitude: The degree of her prosperity, in every one of them, will have been owing, more or less, to the same cause: And therefore the ex-
ample is what we ought, in reason to imitate; so as to consider our brethren on the frontiers as not to be deserted because they are distant, but, from their remote situation, as the special objects of our concern.
In accomplishing that labour of Love, which has been projected by the Convention, we shall be doing what may be expected of us, not only as Christians, but as good citizens of a land of liberty and law; promoting those moral principles and habits, which can only be derived from the influence of religion on the minds of the people. For however it may be contended by some, that the sense of religion is unconnected with the duties of civil life, we owe it to God, and to our country, to guard the members of our Church against that licentious principle; and, accordingly, to endeavour the extension of Christian knowledge, as well with a view to temporal peace and prosperity, as for the securing of the immortal happiness of a better life.
Under the impression of these sentiments, we hope for the concurrence of all the members of our Church in the undertaking now proposed to them: And intending, with the Divine Aid, to exert our best abilities for a faithful administration of the trust reposed in us by the Convention, we subscribe ourselves,
Your affectionate Brethren, WILLIAM WHITE, D. D. Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. WILLIAM SMITH, D. D. SAMUEL MAGAW, D. D. JOHN ANDREWS, D. D. ROBERT BLACKWELL, D. D. SAMUEL POWEL, JOHN WOOD.

SIR. NOTHING is more natural, than for people who have committed crimes and gross errors, to justify or excuse themselves. We find this to have taken place at a very early period of the world; almost as soon as there was one man, one woman, and a serpent, upon earth; and these too in Paradise, something of this kind was practiced. When the Lord charged Adam with eating the forbidden fruit, he excused himself by throwing the inducing motives upon his poor wife; and she, in her turn, to get off as well as she could, lays all the blame to the serpent, declaring that the only wanted to gain knowledge and wisdom, but had no thought of making any disturbance, or causing an insurrection. Very familiar is the conduct of your societies—excepting there does not appear any female agency; but to make up for this, the Devil acts a double part—first in setting you on, then deserting you, at the time you most need his aid—The Democratic Societies having nourished and blown up a civil war in the centre of the country, but being discovered before it had got to such a head as to enable them to answer all their diabolical purposes, they are now beginning to justify and excuse themselves for the part they have acted. One says, they met and passed resolutions against the laws of the United States, because the laws were bad and ought not to be obeyed—another, that they associated for the good of mankind, and by eating freely of the apple of rebellion and disobedience themselves, in their nocturnal clubs, they might be able more systematically to spread abroad uneasiness among the people, and thereby bring on a general dissolution of the government, all which they conceive must tend to make the "people more happy"—again, says another, they look upon themselves as a species of college, or political academy, for the purpose of examining history, and discussing great political questions—others of you openly declare, that you have nothing more in view than to defend the liberties of the people against the tyranny of excise laws, and the encroachments of Congress. But of all your pleas and apologies, none is more farcical and so barefaced a deception upon the credulity of mankind, as the resolutions against the injuries themselves, which you boast of having hastened to make public in the newspapers. A pretty tale, indeed, to amuse children with: but you ought to blush at your own weakness in supposing the people are so stupid as not to see through the childish art! What would we think of a centinel, who, lay-
ing still during the march of the enemy, fires an alarm gun when he sees his own general surrounded in his tent? This is precisely your own conduct. After the insurrection had become organized, and passed thro' every stage of opposition to legal authority, from simple discontent to open rebellion, under your very noses—after the president had alarmed the people, from one end of the continent to the other, and your clubs having lingered and countenanced the discontents as long as you dared, and till it appeared that government would turn out the most powerful of the two parties, you tacked about, and resolved, that you disapprove of the insurrection. You carry your impudence so far, as to claim a merit in that some of your members joined the army of the president. After the defeat of Catiline, many of his friends in the city joined the government, and cried out in favor of the commonwealth!—And what have you done more? How do you reconcile this tardy conduct on your part, with the solemn declarations you all make, that you are centinels to the people, and guardians of their rights?—Let me tell you a truth—if it be an ungrateful one 'tis not my fault:—you have been treacherous friends—you are now open enemies—it will be happy for America that your self-created societies have started into existence; they will serve as catcats for the crows and vultures to gather round—their standard will be the resort of all enemies to government—antifederals, discontents, haters of order, grumblers, ambitious intriguers, howling demagogues, slate quacks, political maniacs, and the corruptors of elections. You might think me a little too personal, or I would shew you how exactly your societies combine principle with practice, by putting my finger on the names of the discontents and haters of order in the western part of Pennsylvania, the howling ambitious demagogues about Philadelphia, the political maniacs and slate quacks of Boston, and the corrupters of elections at other places—all veterans well disciplined!
But to return—you certainly saw the insurrection was gathering months, if not years, before you entered into any resolutions against it. What were you about at this time? You saw the activity of the president; you saw with what contempt his first efforts to suppress the insurrection were treated—Were you examining the memoirs of "Cesar," "Cromwell," and "Dumourier," to see by what steps they arrived at supreme power? Or were you deeply engaged in reading the resolutions of Venice, Geneva, and the United Provinces, of which you make such a parade, to learn in what manner we might practise on their principles, and lead the western insurrection to a similar termination with those that had taken place in these republics, to the entire extinction of their political liberty?—This is the most probable.
Your conduct in this whole affair, very much resembles that of a young incendiary, who, some years ago, set fire to several stables and out houses in the city of Philadelphia, and when he saw that the flame had got to such a head that the buildings must be consumed, or that he was likely to be discovered if he lay still any longer, always joined the multitude, and was among those who cried fire the loudest. However, it happened to him at last, as it has now to your self-created clubs; not withholding all his cry and activity at the fires, he was apprehended. And one might almost swear, that you have taken him for a model in more respects than one; for when he was on trial before the court, as you now are before the people, he argued, as you do, that he ought not to be suspected because he was always found among those who cried fire, and did all he could to extinguish it. But he was found guilty and condemned.—Take warning, then, before it be too late—repent your evil deeds—throw down your standards for rallying and collecting together the discontents, and let your future conduct evince a disposition to order and regularity.

TRENTON, February 3.
A number of the inhabitants of Burlington, desirous of evincing, in the most unequivocal manner, their attachment to order and the constitution, and their decided approbation of the patriotic conduct of those of their fellow-citizens who had stepped forth, at the call of their country, to vindicate her most sacred rights against the attacks of a combination of licentious and unprincipled men, invited Gen.

To the Public.
WE the subscribers having seen a Paper signed "Ben. W. Morris, and Charles Robertson, in behalf of themselves and others" published in the Gazette of the United States, of this day, which appears to us to be an Appeal to the Public from the Association of Bottlers, do publicly protest against the said appeal. For the following reasons.   1. We do not conceive that the present difference between the Bottlers and Mr. Robert Hare of sufficient consequence to engage the attention of our Fellow-Citizens.  2. Mr. Hare having relinquished the objectionable part of the agreement, an appeal to the public became unnecessary, and we think ungenerous.  3. The paper contains assertions without proof.  4. That although we may not approve of Mr. Robert Hare's descending to become a Bottler we know of no Right which entitles us to prescribe to him the mode of vending his own Manufacture.  5. We do not think Mr. Hare's friends have any occasion to raise subscriptions to enable him to carry on the present conflict; because we are of opinion his own Funds are sufficiently ample.  6. We finally protest against the whole proceeding of the meeting of the Bottlers on the 3d instant—Because the business was not regularly conducted, having neither President or Secretary.

* A few typographical errors occurred in the publication of the following Advertisement, in issue of yesterday's papers.
To the PUBLIC. The practice of bringing private concerns into public view, is in general very exceptionable, but there are cases sometimes arising amongst individuals, which are of eventual importance to the community at large. And as few things are more interesting to an American than home Manufactures, we hope we shall stand excused for introducing a controversy now existing in this City on the subject of American Porter—That the Porter of England has annually drawn from this Country large sums of money is well known and it is also known that the barley and hops of America will produce as good Porter as any imported—The first person who undertook a Brewery of this Liquor, on a large scale in Philadelphia, was Mr. Robert Hare a gentleman from England, who from the peculiar situation of our public affairs, very soon had a fair opportunity of convincing his Fellow Citizens, that they might drink American Porter of excellent quality—It was introduced into very general use and the duty upon Foreign Malt Liquors being laid very high, a sort of exclusive trade fell into Mr. Hare's hands who supplied several dealers in liquors with Cask Porter for bottling.
Having the business perfectly under command, he reduced it to a system, with which all who wished to be supplied with a quantity of Porter were obliged to accord—The following copy of the printed form which he tendered to every one of us, before we could receive a promise of a supply will at once show, how far we were likely to be satisfied with the scheme.
The following Agreement is made this day of one thousand seven hundred and ninety between and Robert Hare, both of the city of Philadelphia, viz.
That Robert Hare shall reserve sixty barrels of Porter out of the stock already brewed by him, and shall deliver the same in merchantable condition, and in proper order for bottling under the following stipulations, to wit: that he shall be prevented from so doing by fire, leakage, or other unavoidable loss.
That the said porter shall be paid for at the rate of per barrel, by in such manner that not more than twelve pounds shall at any time be due to the said Robert Hare, and that the whole quantity hereby bargained for, shall be completely paid for on or before the day of one thousand seven hundred & ninety
That the said porter being paid for in manner above mentioned, shall be delivered to the said as nearly as may be at such times, and in such quantities as he may require between the day of the date hereof and the day of one thousand seven hundred and ninety before which day the whole shall be delivered by Robert Hare, and received by
That the said shall sell the porter to be delivered to him by Robert Hare, pure and unmixed with any other liquor, and shall not between this present time and the said day of one thousand seven hundred and ninety bottle or vend, or cause to be bottled or vend in any manner whatsoever any porter (or any liquor under that name) brewed in America, other than the porter to be delivered by Robert Hare.
For the observance of this agreement the said parties bind themselves to each other in the penal sum of two hundred pounds. In witness whereof they have hereunto interchangeably set their hands and seals the day and year first above written.
R. HARE. (L. S.)
From the foregoing it will be seen that we were bound to take a certain quantity—that we were liable to disappointment from any or all of the specified exceptions, and should in no case whatever be allowed to make up the deficiency from any other Brewer or permitted to vend in any manner whatsoever any Porter brewed in America, other than the Porter to be delivered by the said Robert Hare under a very heavy penalty—which we were this year told would be increased in proportion to the quantity contracted for—Under these restrictions (some of them perhaps not legal) we might have been contented could we at all times have been supplied with a quantity equal to our increasing demand, but this has not been
the case for Mr. Hare's stock has proved constantly deficient for some years past, and thereby an opportunity was given to import considerable quantities of English Porter to serve the demand. That every Manufacturer has a right to prescribe rules for conducting his own business we readily admit; but at the same time we contend for an equal right on the part of every purchaser the moment he can support his independence. To arrive at such an independence, it may readily be supposed has been the constant wish of the vendors of Bottled Porter, not only from a motive of personal interest by enlarging their business and thereby benefiting the community; but to rescue themselves from an unpleasant sort of bondage and subserviency to the convenience and pleasure of a single manufacturer—That the business has already met with interruption from accidents of fire is too well known, and we sincerely deplore the great loss which a Fellow Citizen thereby sustained, but surely it cannot be thought that we ought to link our interest so closely with Mr. Hare as to stand or fall with him—No man ought to expect it, neither is it reasonable that we should be confined to the sole use of one man's porter, when though it may be just merchantable and within the letter of our articles, yet it may be greatly inferior in flavor and quality to the Porter in other vaults.
With these sentiments it will not be wondered at that we should with to encourage the establishment of other Porter Breweries—In this we have now so far succeeded as to embolden us to step into the common ranks of trade and to profess our determination to become Freemen—We accordingly subscribed an agreement to support our rights which we handed to Mr. Hare,
The following is a copy, WHEREAS we conceive that all business ought to be carried on upon liberal principles and for reciprocal benefit, and as the brewing of porter has already become an object of considerable magnitude in this city, both for home consumption and exportation, we think it our duty as well as best interest to give a generous encouragement to the manufacture, but not to become personally obligated and under heavy penalties to give a preference to any man upon unequal terms as we conceive those are which have been offered, and informed that upon no other should we be supplied. We believe it is without precedent that the manufacturer of any article should first make his own terms, and bind the one party, and not be under any obligation himself.
Under those impressions, we pledge ourselves to each other by the test of honor and mutual good faith, that we will not enter into any such engagement with any of the Brewers of Porter, but we will deal with all or any, according to our voluntary choice.
Philad. Jan. 15, 1795.
Signed by a great majority of those concerned in the bottling of Porter.
This as it may be supposed, excited in Mr. Hare's mind unpleasant feelings, but when it is considered that we only claimed the right of choosing or changing our brewers as our inclinations or occasions might dictate and that we pledged ourselves to enter into no exclusive contract with any man, he cannot deem it a combination against him and he has surely no just ground of complaint—Mr. Hare chose to quit his native country, as many other Gentlemen did both before and since, to try the fortunes of America, and no man stood pledged for his success—Many of us found him in trade and entered into business with him but nothing ever passed that could be supposed to attach ourselves exclusively to his brewery beyond the term of our contract—When we presented our resolutions we told Mr. Hare we should be glad to become his customers but that we could not engage as heretofore to deal with no others—to this he replied that we should not have his Porter upon any other terms.
We are now told that Mr. Hare complains heavily against us, as entering into a combination to ruin him and that he has so far succeeded in persuading a few of his Fellow Citizens to believe in that it is proposed to raise a subscription of 2,000 dollars to support him in the conflict—Be it so—The public will undoubtedly be gainers by the controversy—For we have not the least doubt, but that we shall give a convincing proof to the World that Porter every way equal in quality to Mr. Hare's can be produced from other vaults and we shall not be displeased if Mr. Hare shall think proper to point out to the public, where and where only his Porter is vend—We shall cheerfully return to deal with him upon liberal terms whenever he shall be disposed to open his vaults to us.
The matter is now put to issue and our several customers will judge for themselves whether our liquor and our conduct meet their approbation.

Here smooth CANALS, across the extend en plain Stretch their long arms to join the distant main. The tons of toll, with many a weary broke Scud the hard bottom of the fold rock; Resistless through the stiff opposing clay, With steady patience, work their gradual way; Conquel the Genius of the unwilling flood Through the brown horrors of the aged wood; Cross the lone waste the silver wren they meet And cheer the barren heath, or fallen moor, The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees, The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees; And views the alter'd landscape with surprise And doubts the magic scenes that round him rise. Now like a flock of swans, above his head, Their woven wings the flying vessels spread Now meeting streams, in artful maze, glide While each, unmixed, pours a separate tide; Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow And visit sulphurous mines and caves below. The dusky streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND! Jan. 19 2awtf
