BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market Street.
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New-York Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [This rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extract from the Critical Review, April 1791, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity...
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, wherever the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tories nor republicans:—They love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced. In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are
assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall affix the value of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive. EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

PARIS, December 25.
The following is an exact list of the French Grand fleet, lying in the road of Brest, ready to set sail at the first signal, at the beginning of December; when the following list was transmitted to the Committee of Marine by the Naval Department of Brest.

Recapitulation.
 Ships of the Line 35  Frigates 13  Corvettes 11  Ships of War 59 
The whole fleet is divided into eleven divisions, including two called light divisions. Wattigney* and Dix Aouts,* of 84 guns each, with some new 74 gun ships, are daily expected from Rochefort, as also the division of Cancale; and in less than a fortnight the Brest fleet will consist of at least 45 ships of the line, not including numbers of ships which are now refitting, or lately taken in commission. Besides this, a division of 10 ships of the line and frigates has already set sail on a secret expedition, and 140 frigates and corvettes are stationed from the mouth of the Seine to the Bay of Biscay, in order to intercept the commercial vessels of our enemies.
N. B. The ships marked thus *, are among the number of those which have been launched and fitted since July, 1794.
December 24.
The rumours of a general peace are prevalent; but they are rumours only. The Friends of humanity hope that a period will soon be put to the effusion of human blood; but we fear that our wishes are in this instance mistaken for hopes.
A majority, however, of the Germanic empire, is busied in endeavoring to obtain a peace for their subjects. Prussia and Austria see their treasures melting away; their population diminishing; their fields abandoned, and their thrones shaken, notwithstanding their success in Poland.
Spain ruined knows not what prayers to offer up to God and to all their saints to be relieved from her present critical situation.
Holland sees her frontiers invaded, her gold carried to a people a rival in commerce, and fears, with reason, her speedy annihilation as a political power.
Even France, in the midst of her victories, tottering on the unstable basis of a government not yet in activity, torn, assassinated internally by the violence of faction, needs rest, needs a peace; she needs it to reëstablish her commercial system, to recall the sciences and arts, of which she was once the center.
A single power, inflated, corroded by ambition, wishes to reap advantages from the misfortunes of all Europe, who, by the intrigues of that power, have been duped into the war. The late conduct of this haughty power, should dictate the future conduct of Europe towards her.
We learn, that the Spanish government are about convoking their States General. From what they have seen as the issue of that measure in France, they must be in desperate circumstances indeed, to have recourse to it.
The city of Grave is in our hands. This place surrendered on the 24th November: the garrison obtained a most honourable capitulation. Thus the French are masters of the Meuse, from its source to Fort St. Andre.
It is said in London, that the American minister, Mr. Jay, is about coming to Paris, on an errand interesting to England and Europe in general.
The General Eulace, whom the government of Holland had caused to be arrested, has been liberated.
December 25.
The amnesty fled out to the madmen of Vendee, continues to produce the happiest effects. All the Chouans, and others, on the two shores of the Loire, are anxious to take advantage of it.
The sister of Charette, who has during the troubles remained in Nantes as a seamstress, since the humane decree of the Convention has made herself known, and been of singular use in carrying the tidings of peace to the rebels.
ENCAMPMENT OF MOEURS.
December 25.
The changes that we announced have taken place. Half the army remains on the borders of the Rhine, and the remainder is to fall back into winter quarters. All the heavy cavalry of Du-bois's division has just set off for the banks of the Meuse; it will then be easier to transport the forage wanted on that river. The right wing of the Northern army has besieged Grave, and we learn, that that place, so important to us, is in our hands.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
December 18.
The Representatives of the People Desfres and Villers write, that they had given notice to the Committee of Public Safety that a vast quantity of provisions and merchandise had been sent from the Port of the West to Paris and the interior parts of France: They remarked besides that the merchandise of the East India company had been sold one third cheaper as the wise laws of the Convention on commerce had been published, and that the same will take place with the goods of the West-Indies.
Lecointre (of Versailles.) The revolutionary tribunal sentenced to death on the 16th instant three individuals unhappily too celebrated in the annals of the Republic. [The deputy Carrier and the members of the revolutionary committee of Nantes, Grandmaison and Pinard.] But the same tribunal acquitted 26 individuals of Nantes, who were convicted of having executed the most cruel and barbarous acts, of having massacred men, women and children in cold blood; of having committed extortions and dilapidations of all kinds.
The question whether they had vexed, plundered and assassinated their fellow citizens with a counter revolutionary intention has saved those 26 monsters.
I shall not remind the Convention that those tigers let free exult over the public calamity, sneer unpunished at the distress of the relations of those they have murdered. I believe that the members of the tribunal have done their duty but I demand vengeance in the name of outraged humanity; I demand in the name of the families they covered with mourning, and reduced to despair in the name of the blood of so many victims. I demand that the committee of legislation be charged to examine the question, whether those monsters covered with the blood of thousands ought not to be sent before the criminal tribunal of their department.
I demand besides that the committee of general security take proper measures in order to prevent these cannibals from stepping over the barriers of Paris and escaping the hand of Justice. [Applauded.]
A Member. This is not enough; those monsters must be muzzled, they ought to be arrested immediately.
A Member maintains that a citizen cannot be arraigned a second time for a crime he has once been cleared of, by a legal tribunal.
Some members of the moderate party answer, that the revolutionary tribunal is only established to judge the crimes of the Republic.
Breard. It is sufficient to refer the whole to the committee of general security. If the 26 individuals seemed innocent in the eyes of the revolutionary tribunal, they are in the eyes of the whole nation guilty of robbery, murder and assassination.
I am not in the least acquainted with the quibbles of the law, but I have a heart that partakes the feelings of the distressed, and abhors crime. I imagine that it is necessary in this case to have recourse to a measure of general
police. It must, it cannot be permitted that the victims of the horrible atrocities committed by the revolutionary committee of Nantes be exposed to meet again the hangmen of their fathers, mothers and children, of all that was dear to them in this world.
The Convention decreed that the members of the revolutionary committee of Nantes shall be again put in prison.
December 20.
Ruelle Representative of the People at Nantes informs the Convention in a letter dated Dec. 12 that the decree of amnesty in favor of the Vendean rebels and Chouans was received in the city of Nantes with transports. He had a great many copies of that decree printed and assured that by means of the measures he has taken, the dispositions of that wise decree are already known in all parts of the insurgent country.
This measure has already produced the most happy effect on both banks of the Loire. The rebels who infested those cantons, instead of continuing their infamous inuendoes and horrible atrocities against the Patriots now wish to fraternize and offer to submit to the laws of the Republic. Since two days the cry of vive la Republique precedes the troops of deluded Frenchmen who come daily to rejoin the standard of liberty. Gloomy despair and terror is every where replaced by joy and confidence. Every thing forbodes at least that those unhappy districts coloured with the blood of so many victims of fanaticism, so cruelly deluded by the insidious agents of tyranny will be soon entirely restored to the Republic. [Lively applauses.]
Clauzel, speaking to the order of the day followed the example of Lecointre, and denounced the principal accomplices of the faction of Robespierre. He attacked in particular Collot d'Herbois and Voulland for having defended Vincent, Rossia, Pache, Bouchotte and other conspirators.
He mentioned that Elie La Coste had once declared in the committee of public safety, that Robespierre had proposed to suspend the sittings of the Convention.
He asked whether all his colleagues were not intimately convinced of the conspiracy denounced by Le Cointre.
He accused them of having opposed the translation of Pache and Bouchotte before the revolutionary tribunal, because they feared the light. He concluded with remarking that they calumniated a certain Fabricius because he was in possession of pieces which proved their guilt and that he intended to propose the abolition of the revolutionary tribunal.
Clauzel demanded that the revolutionary tribunal should be immediately dissolved. 2d. That Fouquier Tainville, Pache and Bouchotte be bro't before the revolutionary tribunal.
Clauzel maintained that testimonies of a good conduct had spoke in favor of all the representatives, 9 members excepted.
Raumpe, tho' I have not the honor of being reckoned among the members proscribed by blood thirsty intriguers who stile themselves the friends of justice and humanity, I see plain that it is now better to be a Charette, a chief of the rebels, a murderer of thousands of Patriots than to be a deputy, one of those men who have saved by their wisdom the republic from the brink of ruin. The cries to the Abhay Abnay, did not permit Raumpe to continue.
The denunciation of Clauzel was referred to the three committees already charged to make a report on that subject.
Dec. 24.
Noel Pointe delivered a long discourse, in which he declares that aristocracy and fanaticism are raising their heads again; that in all parts of the republic the best citizens, the patriots of 1789 are persecuted; he declaims against the class of merchants and men of letters, whom he declares sold to our enemies. He concluded by asking the revival of the decree of the 17th September.
This proposal was received with astonishment from a man, acknowledged as a sincere friend of the republic; it excited much applause from the Jacobins; but the majority of the Convention remained silent. The printing of Pointe's discourse was called for by the former.
Barailion opposed with warmth the motion. "What" said he "at a time when you are endeavoring to restore the republic, too long torn by faction to its state of splendour, is commerce to be debased in your fight." It is forgotten, that in pursuing such a system, the infamous law of the maximum was engendered, that the manufacturing towns have been ruined, that all those men, who by their talents and industry had rendered France the most flourishing country in Europe have been imprisoned, butchered, drowned, shot, and tortured in a thousand various ways. He concluded by calling for the previous question.
Murmurs interrupted Barailion; upon which Legendre exclaimed—"Let him be heard—it will be easy to demonstrate that with good intentions it is possible to be duped by a few rascals [alluding to Barrere, Billaud and Collot.]
Exclamations of anger escape from that side, Gaston attempts to fly at Legendre but is held.
"I ask to be heard" said Legendre:—that none of my colleagues may mistake my meaning, and I believe what I said was directed against them, I will be explicit, I declare, that I only alluded to those three rascals [pointing still to the same three members] and I denounce them to my country as the butchers of my fellow-citizens.
"I declare not to the Convention not to the People of Paris but to the whole French people in mass, that no power on earth shall deprive me of my energy and prevent me from attacking those three villains, who are straining every nerve to excite disturbances. They have preached at the Jacobins, rebellion openly. Do you think you have done enough by shutting up the cavern? No you should lay your hands upon those who preach up sedition. What have we done? We have imprisoned subaltern intriguers; but citizens, as long you suffer this hall to be disgraced by their presence, so long will they blow the coals of discord. I demand the order of the day on the motion for printing. [Applauses.]
Collot d'Herbois advances towards the tribune. The Convention passes to the order of the day, the subject of the law of the maximum.
Some tumult disgraced the further proceedings of the convention; but finally order was re-established and several articles on the subject of the maximum were decreed.
Dec. 25.
Upon a report of the committee of public safety, the convention passes a decree to encourage the watch manufactories established at Besançon and other manufactories of the same kind in the department of Doubs. They also decree that the goods sequestrated as intended for Lyons, at the time of the misfortune of that city shall be restored to the proprietors, if they exist yet, or that the price of them shall be paid if they have been sold.
Petitions presented. One from the section of Fraternité, praying the punishment of the authors of the massacres of the 2d. and 3d. September.
The administrators of the districts of Avignon and Treason write, that from each commune two or three individuals known as bad citizens set off for Paris, and say that they march to the assistance of the Jacobins.
"I lately left that part of the republic," says Aguis, "and I can assure the convention that they ought not to be at their ease on the score of the disposition of the inhabitants, nor to trust the apparent calm, and much less the pompous addresses which they transmit."
"Watch then narrowly and do not suffer yourselves to be seduced by outward demonstrations of respect and attachment. Know the character of the Marseilles.—When they had a king they wished a republic. Now they wish for a separate government. This is a truth which has too long been concealed from you, and which ought to be disclosed."
"There is another not less interesting for you to know, it is that the plotters here have relations in Marseilles. In their coffee houses they drink to the next month. The next month, villains! you will no longer exist."
He concluded by assuring, that the departments du Rhone and Vaucluse were well supplied with provisions.
Several members speak of the necessity of expelling the remainder of the creatures of Robespierre from office. Couturier complains of the inaction of the committees, and demands, that to-morrow, without further delay, they shall report on the denunciation of Lecointre, and present the report on the reorganization of the Revolutionary Tribunal. He concluded his remarks by saying, "Strike the villains; take every measure to baffle the conspirators, or fear the speedy dissolution of the Convention."
An aid du camp of the commander in chief of the Western Pyrenees presents seven standards of the enemy. The President gives the bearer the fraternal kiss.
Richard announces a new advantage gained by a detachment of Baques and a detachment of Cher. A strong post has been carried on the left of Tolosa. The enemy lost a great number of men, and among the dead a Castilian Colonel was found. Honorable mention decreed.
Army of the Eastern Pyrenees.
December 10.
Our troops display the greatest activity in pushing the siege of Roses. Our commander in chief has lately given orders not to answer the fire of the besieged till further orders tho' 50 Spanish gun-boats, which lay in the road, keep up an incessant fire.
Besides 8 and 12 pounders 60 pieces of heavy artillery will be placed round the fort and the harbour, viz. 30 twenty four pounders 10 sixteen pounders, ten howitzers and ten mortars of 12 inches in diameter. We are forced to open a road of two miles across a steep mountain, two thousand men were day and night at work and within five days the passage and our project will be practicable. The Spanish made lately a vigorous sortie, and advanced close to our batteries, but our grape-shot cooled soon the ardor of the Castilian slaves, who retreated in confusion towards the fort.
Miquel Fesrier Adjutant General & Commander of the flying artillery received orders to set out for Perpignan and to get all the fire-works and combustibles he can find in the arsenals and magazines, transported to Palau—Sous-Rose.
The plan which we are to execute, is extremely bold but calculated to ensure success. The walls of the fort will be crushed before eight days and we hope besides to burn the whole Spanish fleet, which supports the gun-boats and furnishes the fort with provisions.
LEGHORN, November 22.
The latest intelligence from Tunis informs us that the Sons of the fugitive Bashaw of Tripolis arrived at the former place. The new Bashaw of Tripolis has rendered himself master of the Island of Guebrà belonging to Tunis; and threatens to push his conquest still farther. This circumstance occasioned some military preparations at Tunis and the Divan resolved to attack Tripolis by land and sea.
The French frigates continue to make a vast number of rich prizes on the coast of Africa, in the Mediterranean.
RATISBON, December 6.
The subject of peace was yesterday broached in the diet. Bohemia and Brandenburg have not yet given their votes in the electoral college.—In the College of Princes, 56 votes have been collected, a majority of which are for the propositions from Mayence. As to the college of the imperial cities, they have only read the propositions of the directory, and the deliberation has been postponed.
LEGHORN, December 8.
Two of those four Spanish packets, which were missed, have at last arrived in the gulph of Spezzia. Several emigrants of distinction came passengers from Spain. The remaining two packets must have fallen into the hands of the Sans Culottes.
A Spanish fleet of 18 ships of the line is at present in the bay of Roses; it is said the Spanish admiral has orders to try if possible to save the important Spanish port of Roses from being taken by the republicans who are now in great force before that place. The English squadron under admiral Hotham has also left the bay of St. Florent in Corsica. Some suppose that admiral Hotham has received orders to take his station off the island of Hieres in order to observe the French fleet at Toulon which is already composed of 20 ships of the line ready for sea, besides three eighty fours and three seventy fours lately launched and now fitting. But in general it is believed he directed his course towards the straits of Gibraltar in order to intercept a French division of 10 ships of the line and some frigates of force sent from Brest in order to reinforce the fleet of Toulon. The French do not only design to dispute the sovereignty of the ocean with the English, but they will have the superiority in the Mediterranean. The surprising activity which reigns among the merchants in all the French ports in this sea, proves that the chief aim of the convention is to revive or rather to monopolize the commerce in the Levant, which offered always a balance of many millions in favor of France. It is not expected that the republicans will make great efforts to retake Corsica, for this island must submit as soon as the French fleet has a superiority over that of the English.
GENOA, December 4.
Our latest accounts from Port Maurice inform us, that 2800 French troops have just arrived at the former place and at St. Remo [two Genoese ports;] they came from the interior parts of France, and are as well as the other Republican troops lately arrived on the territory of Genoa destined to reinforce the French army of Italy.
A proclamation of the deputy Jean Bon St. Andre was yesterday posted up on the door of the French consul in this city. It contains in substance that the honour to pursue the enemies of liberty by sea being reserved to the navy of the Republic alone, the proprietors of privateers had been ordered to remit their letters of marque; that the prizes made by privateers and conducted into a neutral port were put in a state of requisition. The consul is charged to send all the prizes under escort to Toulon.
A French privateer has lately captured four ships destined for Leghorn.
A great number of French commissaries are arrived here, and now occupied with measuring the distances from one place to another along the coast.
LEYDEN, Dec. 25.
It is hoped that the arrival of our commissioners, who departed the day before yesterday, for Paris, will soon put an end to all hostilities.

MR. FENNO.
I understand a Bill is depending in the House of Representatives respecting the Establishment of Schools throughout the State; the Principles of which if I am rightly informed, will have a tendency to abolish all the Schools for teaching the inferior Branches of Learning, and erecting others upon a general Plan at a public Expence by County Taxes, and out of the Funds of the Commonwealth. My Informant was not able to give the particulars of this Plan, but the out lines he traced to me have occasioned the throwing out the following observations for consideration.
Almost every Religious Society in this State have Schools under the care of Trustees or Overseers for the Education of their own Children, and Youth in reading, writing and cyphering, and many Societies have Free Schools, to which are admitted Children of other denominations; now are these Societies to pay an equal Tax to support the new Schools, while they support their own, or are they to drop their own and trust that the new ones will answer the purpose?
Are the Episcopalians, the Quakers, the Catholics, the Presbyterians, the German Lutherans and Calvinists, &c. &c. prepared to discontinue the Education of their own Youth in their own religious Faith and Professions, in hopes that the Children of all Denominations thrown together en masse may be better educated; or will they agree in one mode, and the same Masters and Books? Is the State of religious Opinion in Pennsylvania so uniform and concordant that a National Education is likely to answer the End intended?
Is a Religious Uniformity intended to be established by this means, or is it possible to establish it?
Will it be proper to tell Parents as was done in Sparta you shall not be entrusted with the Education of your Children, the State will provide Schools by Taxes, which you shall pay whether you think them proper for your Children or not? And after the old ones are established and you have paid your quota to the Common Expence of the new ones, if you don't like the public Schools you may provide for their Education as you can.
I do not profess to understand the Subject thoroughly, but so far as I can see into it, I doubt much, whether it has been maturely considered, and sufficiently digested, to take Effect with Satisfaction to the Citizens generally. Wherefore I would with you would insert these Hints in your Paper, or something better of your own, in order to excite a little Enquiry, and produce an Explanation from some abler Hand.
Yours, &c.
A PARENT.
If nothing better is offered to the Printers on this important Subject, I wish they would copy this into their Papers.
MR. FENNO.
YOUR correspondent, who stated that the "important business," which occasioned the late meeting of the Democratic Society, was to pass the resolutions respecting public schools, found his opinion on the apparent connection of the notification and the publication of those resolutions. The suggestion appears to have excited the irascible feelings of a writer who signs "A Subscriber," in your last evening's paper—Not content with reviling the paragraphist, as a vicious party writer, he has attempted to deprive the society of the honor intended it by your correspondent, by saying that the important business was totally irrelevant to those resolutions; plainly implying, that the business of public schools was not considered by the Society as an important business. For my part, Mr. Printer, I do not think that the society ever transacted any business of real importance before—and tho' the resolutions contain some ideas which the proposer must have known to be false and impracticable, yet on the whole, it was highly meritorious in the members, as citizens, to give their support to an institution, which, if effected, will prove the bulwark of civil liberty.
It was peculiarly meritorious in this Society to give their voice in favor of disseminating instruction among the people—it shews their patriotism, and that they mean to retire from their labors—for they realize, that Democratic Societies are entirely superfluous among an enlightened people. I rejoice, Mr. Printer, most sincerely in this prospect—and hope all ranks, classes and professions, will forego all their
prejudices, and join heart and hand in promoting the establishment of public schools, in which the interest of all is most deeply involved.
Mr. Printer—if the "important business" did not relate to public schools, pray what was it? But I ask pardon, perhaps a mistake has occurred in the notification by an omission of the word private, before "important business."

ALBANY, March 16.
Our present corporation by their patriotic conduct, are endeavouring to rescue our city from that odium, which has for so long a time been justly cast on the city of Albany, for its want of public spirit, enterprise and improvement. The sale of our water lots will have one of the happiest effects. It will call individual industry into operation; and before the close of the ensuing season, we expect a spacious and commodious range of wharves in front of our whole city. The pavements are to be completed; the citizens of Pearl street are already providing the materials; and if the pavement is judiciously constructed, this street will vie in beauty with the first streets in New York or Philadelphia. The subscription for a College was 6000l. and altho' we failed in our application for the establishment of such an institution, yet the Corporation merit the thanks of their constituents for their liberality on the occasion. Lamps for lighting the city, are providing, and nearly in readiness; and there is a great prospect that before the close of the season our city will be amply supplied with choice water, by means of aqueducts.
The act to amend the post-office law, passed the 25th ult. has established a post road from Fishkill, by Newburgh and New Windsor, to Goshen; and another from Cooperstown, by Butternut creek and Oxford Academy, to Union-Town.
By intelligence from Canada, we learn, that active and important measures are taking by the Governor and the English and Catholic Bishops, to extend religion and learning in that and the Upper Province. A happy harmony subsists between those two pious, learned and benevolent Ecclesiastics.—The Catholic Bishop may be called the second Ganganelli.
PHILADELPHIA, March 25.
Mr. Osgood's Thanksgiving Sermon.
The sixth Edition of Mr. Osgood's Sermon is published at Albany. The publishers say—
If we can form a judgment of a publication from the number of copies sold, we shall not hesitate to declare this Sermon a judicious and valuable performance; and that the author in an eminent degree deserves well of his country, for having written it at a time like the present, when something was wanted to be publicly said against the political heresies which have for sometime been creeping in among us.
Messrs. Dunlap & Claypoole, The following subscription is now handing thro' the City, which you are requested to publish for the information of those who are willing to subscribe to so beneficial and ornamental an undertaking.—A subscription paper is left at the Merchants' Coffee House.
WE the Subscribers desirous of adding to the beauty and health of the City, and conceiving that the planting of trees on each side of some of the large streets in the unbuilt parts thereof, would contribute to desirable a purpose, do agree to pay the sums severally affixed to our names (whenever they shall together amount to five hundred pounds) to such persons as shall be empowered to receive the same by special appointment, from John Dunlap, Richard Wells, and Benjamin W. Morris, who are hereby nominated as managers to carry the plan into execution.
By this Day's Mail.
ALBANY, March 20.
Besides a number of elegant private buildings, which we understand are to be erected in this city, the ensuing season, the Trustees of the Presbyterian Church, have contracted with the ingenious Mr. Elisha Putman, of Lanfborough, to build them a Brick Church 74 feet by 62.—The foundation of this Church was completed last season. It is in Washington street.
The Academy Hall, erecting at Paris, in Herkemer county, for the reception of the Preceptor, Teachers and Students of the Seminary, which the Regents of our University have incorporated, by the name of the "Oneida or Hamilton Academy," is 82 feet by 41, and three stories high—it is elegantly situated and when finished, will be a superb and spacious edifice.
A correspondent expresses great pleasure in the appearances that Vermont is returning to a sense of its true interest in becoming a Federal Member of the Union. Mr. Paine, the senator chosen in the room of Mr. Bradley, and Mr. Buck, the representative in the room of Mr. Niles, are firm, decided federalists, and so are a very respectable body of their constituents; the democratic clubs to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.
CHARLESTON, March 4.
Important Communication.
The holders of all kinds of public securities are cautioned against speculators, and are desired to take notice, that the price of the stock of the United States is not now to be regulated by the northern, but by the European markets. It is judged by men of the best information, that the United States flock will be on a much better footing than any in Europe, and consequently be more valuable. There is the most certain information, that a great number of orders from Europe, via New York, have been received, and that the long heads are at work to wheedle the more simple.
NEW-YORK, March 24.
The Sans Culottes Society of Charleston have resolved to go in mourning ten days for the brave Dugommier.
The Democratic Society of Philadelphia have at LAST discovered and resolved that public schools are well calculated to teach men their rights and to secure the blessings of independence and republicanism. This is admirable! But public schools, will assuredly be fatal to private political clubs! The only State in the Union that has had public schools from its first settlement, is almost the only one that is not infected with clubs and ant federalism.

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.
Agreeable to the order of the Day.
Wednesday, Feb. 18.
The House went into a Committee to consider of proceeding upon Bills originating in the legislative Council, that contain pecuniary penalties or forfeitures, which, after a very long and able discussion was agreed to, provided that all such penalties thereby imposed are only to punish or prevent crimes and offences, and do not tend to lay a burthen on the subject, either as aid, and supply to his Majesty, or for any general or special purposes by rates, tolls, assessments or otherwise.
Thursday, February 19.
The Chairman of the Committee appointed to frame a Bill for the better making, repairing, and keeping up the High roads and Bridges in this Province, made his Report, and delivered the Bill in at the Clerk's table.
Several of the Members complained, that they had been, contrary to the Privilege of the House, summoned by the Sheriff to attend the Court of King's Bench as special Jurors; the House took the same into consideration, and ordered Mr. Speaker to write to the Judges, that they, the said Members, have privilege not to serve, and that they be not amerced for their non-appearance.
Monday, 23.
The order of the day for taking into consideration His Excellency the Governor's message of the 16th instant being read—the said message with the accounts and papers that accompanied it were also read.
A motion being made that a supply be granted to his Majesty, the consideration of it was postponed to Wednesday next.
Wednesday 25.
The engrossed Bill from the Legislative Council to amend the Judicature Bill was read the third time and passed.
The House went into committee to consider of a supply to his Majesty—the Report was ordered to be received to morrow.
The engrossed Bill from the Legislative Council obliging vessels coming from places infected with pestilential fevers and contagious disorders to perform quarantine, was read a second time—and after a conference with the Legislative Council, concerning the bill to amend the Judicature Act, the House adjourned.
MAPLE SUGAR.
A gentleman who has visited Asia, suggests to his fellow-citizens who are extracting Sugar from the Maple Tree, that it may be more advantageous to them to make the incision higher than they do at present, for the Analogy always cut the Palmira tree just below the first branches, and of the liquor they make both Sugar and an intoxicating drink. If the saccharine juice is formed by the combination of the particular property of the Maple Tree, with the water which rises from the earth, it is natural to suppose that the present method of collecting the sap just above ground, before it has undergone much commixture, will be attended with its present result, viz. a great quantity of water, and very little syrup.
If upon experiment it shall be found that more Sugar is made from a less quantity of sap, when the incision is made high up, one great advantage will be, that less labour will be required to collect the sap and to evaporate the water.

The following extract of a letter from St. Thomas of the 18th Feb. received by the Mary Ann Capt. Kearney is communicated to the public for the information of merchants trading to the West-Indies.
The English lately issued a proclamation declaring the island of Guadalupe in a state of blockade, and the French of that island in return have declared the English islands, to be in a similar state, and take all neutral vessels taking supplies to or bringing produce from thence.—They have already captured and condemned several Danish and some American vessels.
Their privateers are numerous and mischievous and notwithstanding that each British Island has at the public expence fitted out privateers to check them, their number and depredations increase.
A Ship Brig and Schooner, inward bound were at Reedy Island yesterday.

SCHEME OF THE LOTTERY, No. II. FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 2 columns: Prize Amount, Number of Winners. Includes prizes like 20,000 Dollars, 50,000 Dollars, etc.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire front on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when completed, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery.
The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to waste the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real Securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President, and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been lent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

Valuable Property
FOR SALE, IN THE STATE OF NEW-YORK.
THAT valuable and well known Estate, called SCOTIA, situate on the north bank of the Mohawk river, directly opposite the populous and flourishing town of Schenectady, at the foot of the water-communication from the Western Country, and Upper Canada; sixteen miles from the city of Albany, extending about two miles on the bank of the river above and below the said town; this river is the only water communication in the United States with the great western Lakes.
The roads from the western and northern parts of the state of New York, together with a number of other public roads here meet, and lead to the noted ferry kept opposite the said town.
It contains upwards of one thousand acres, a great proportion of which is intervalle or low land, calculated both for grass or grain, producing great burthens annually; it may be laid into a number of valuable farms, affording convenient and handsome building grounds; there is now on the premises two very large and commodious dwelling houses, with large Dutch barns, barracks, hovels, stables, cart and waggon house, carriage house, store house, summer house, and other out-houses, on a commanding eminence near the bank of the river, affording a beautiful and extensive prospect of the river for several miles, the lowland, the town, and a fine lake of water, covering about thirty acres, well stored with all kinds of river fish, fowl, &c. There is a good grist mill on a never failing stream of water, a good frame house, &c. for the miller, also convenience above the mill for erecting more water works; there is a bearing orchard with nearly one thousand apple trees, set out, grafted of the best fruit, the gardens are stocked with all the various fruits the climate will admit; also several tenements with portions of land on short leases.
The land in point of fertility of soil, is exceeded by none in the state; there is now in the ground near two hundred bushels winter grain, which will be included in the above sale.
Also two small islands in the river, opposite the mansion house.
A view of the premises, it is presumed, will fully equal any description that can be given thereof.
For terms of sale apply to the Subscriber, residing on the premises, Messrs. Oliver Wendell or Harrison G. Otis, Esquires, in the town of Boffon, Cornelius Ray, or De Witt Clinton, Esquires, at the city of New York; James Gordon or Henry Glen, Esquires, two of the members of Congress, at the city of Philadelphia; Stephen N.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS.
Selected from the most striking and interesting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accompanied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities.
By G. I. PARKYNS, Author of the "Monastic Remains and Ancient Castles in Great Britain."
CONDITIONS.
I. That the work shall be published by Subscription; and that each Subscriber shall engage to take the whole set of Views, and shall pay for each engraving, if black or brown, 2 Dollars; and if coloured 5 Dollars. II. That the dimensions of each engraving shall be 24 by 17 inches, executed in aquatinta, and published upon paper of a superior quality. The publication to commence immediately; and one engraving to be delivered to the Subscribers, on the first Monday of each succeeding month, until the proposed series shall be finally completed. III. That with the last View of the series, shall be delivered an engraved title-page; an elegant characteristic vignette; a map of the route, connected with the prospects exhibited in the course of the Work; and an Alphabetical list of the Subscribers.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS Work is offered to the public at a crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts: Amidst the ravages of war, and the convulsions of a revolutionary age, they must inevitably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and industry of men of genius and talents. Advancing, indeed, rapidly to the zenith of power, reputation and opulence, America, even in a state of universal tranquility, must soon have become the rival of Europe in learning and taste, as well as her superior in morality and government. Under the present circumstances of the world, however, the opportunity occurs to anticipate the destined period of pre-eminence; and to render America at this eventful hour, the guardian and protectress of every science that can enlighten, and of every art that can adorn the human mind.
On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail to attract the public attention; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether undeserving or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country possesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the soul of the philosopher, to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter, than those which he has hitherto scattered over the American continent: But unfortunately there is no country, whose native charms have been so superficially explored, or so imperfectly delineated. Hitherto, indeed the toil of converting a wilderness into a state of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the necessaries and comforts of life; and of adapting civil institutions to the genius of a new nation, seems to have been sufficient to engage all the strength, and all the talents of the inhabitants of America. The people of Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely, comparatively speaking, overstepped the boundaries of their continent in pure search of information or pleasure. The ruins of art, which encumber their domestic scenery, have been preferred to the novelties of nature which arise in other regions; and the time has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi would have been less valued, than the section of a palace, or a mutilated fragment of antiquity. But in respect to both, a revolution in situation and sentiment has been accomplished. The American finds leisure, with a retrospective and joyful sensibility of heart, to admire the graces, as well as to reap the abundance which providence has bestowed on this country; and the European is compelled, with an anxious and expectant eye, to look abroad for that peace & prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at home.
The attention of mankind being thus directed towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as to its political interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new subject, and in a new style of execution. The art of engraving in Aquatinta, has indeed, for some time been held in high estimation throughout Europe; its close imitation of finished drawings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depicts the light and graceful touches of nature, are properties, that seem peculiarly adapted to the American scenery, some of the tints and colors of which are certainly nowhere else to be found.
Exclusive of these advantages, it is likewise in contemplation to render the work a repository of descriptive topographical and historical facts respecting the circumjacent country from which the views were taken: but to give full effect to this part of his undertaking, the author must solicit the assistance of every citizen, who is possessed of authentic information, whether relating to the Natural history, or to the memorable events, connected with the respective engravings. The map of the tour will exhibit the relative situation of the views, as well with respect to each other as to the principal Cities and Towns of the several States, commencing at the city of Washington.
As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be improper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American manufacture, and of the best quality.
Twelve drawings are ready, and the utmost dispatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alluded to, the following may be mentioned:
1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of the President of the United States. 2. Philadelphia. 3. City of Washington. 4. New-York, &c. &c. &c.
It is the design of the Author to finish those objects first, which are most important and interesting; and if the Public patronage shall prove adequate to the expence, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 Views, more than the number contained in the present Proposals. In that case, however, the first set of Views will be so arranged, as to form either an independent work for those, who may not wish to renew their subscriptions, or a series connected with the second set for those, who may wish to continue their patronage till the whole is completed.
Letters or other communications for the encouragement, elucidation, or improvement of the work, the Author requests may be addressed to him at New-York.
Subscriptions are received by Mr. Harrison, at his Print-shop, Maiden-lane, New-York by Mr. Carey, Book-seller, No. 118, Market street, Philadelphia, and by all the principal Book-sellers in the United States. February 28.
