From the Minerva.
Messrs. Printers.
We find in your paper of the 23d inst. a piece under the signature of Argus, addressed to Thomas Greenleaf and John Fellows Jun., containing such personal abuse and illiberal reflections on our history of the French revolution, as justice to ourselves and the cause of truth will not permit us to let pass unnoticed. We shall therefore offer to the public the following observations.
The history written by Rabaut, which we first proposed to publish, closed at the acceptance of the constitution of 1791. This at the time we commenced printing it, was the only regular history of this revolution in America, and has, we believe the decided preference to any that has since been published. When we had nearly completed this work, we received another history of this revolution, compiled in London, which had continued it to a much later date. This the authors named "An Impartial history of the French Revolution, &c."
They acknowledge that a considerable portion of this work had already been published in the new Annual Register; and that in the present volume it appeared in an improved and corrected state.
A part of this history having been published in the Register we did not conceive an objection to its republication in America: As that circumstance did not diminish from the merits of the composition, or the authenticity of the work. We therefore determined on making up this history at the close of that written by Rabaut. We consequently numbered Rabaut's history the first volume; and notified our subscribers, that we intended to publish a continuation of the revolution. Not intimating however as Argus insinuates, that this was written by Rabaut. The difference of the title pages of the two volumes puts this matter out of dispute.
The authors of the second volume fulfill a long list of authorities, to the number of twenty one, besides several French and English newspapers; from which, they say, they have compiled this history. To which of these authors they give the most credit we know not. The histories appear however to be written by persons of very opposite sentiments respecting the revolution. And we believe it very improbable, that historians of different political sentiments, in the heat of a revolution, should relate facts exactly alike. But, agreeable to the ideas of our critic, the compilers have committed an unpardonable fault in not publishing the whole that was contained in these voluminous works. What right they have to curtail them? As they have been once printed they ought to be handed down to posterity without any diminution, addition or any other alteration whatever. The supidity of this doctrine needs no comments.
In perusing this compendium we found, as we observed in our advertisement, that the facts, so far as they reflected the main progress of the revolution, appeared to be fairly stated. The comments of the authors, and the illiberal epithets, which they uniformly attach to the patriots, prove that they were actuated by motives of prejudice or interest.
This history then, which came to us in a dress, calculated to gratify the rancor of the enemies of liberty, and to disgust the great body of the American people who are friends to the revolution, we have endeavored to suit, in expression, to the meridian of the free country, in which we publish it. In general simply relating facts, and leaving the reader to make his own comments, which prevents him from being biased by the particular prejudices of the writer. This it seems has given great umbrage to our critic, who, although he must be conscious of the malignity of his own heart, and his apertness at forming invectives, yet is sensible that to minds, not equally base, the same rancor would not be excited on reading the success and progress of liberty.
But unfortunately for Argus, he has brought forward a book as a test to our history which neither of the editors have even read, or had any thing to do with. How far the history which they have copied agreed with the New Annual Register, they are entire strangers. Argus must therefore travel over the same ground once more, and compare our addition with the real copy. Till then he cannot inform the public whether we, or the English compilers, have made the alterations to which he has alluded. For they tell us that it here "appears in an improved and corrected state." Neither have we been solely confined to the above compilation, but
have had frequent recourse to a work entitled "the political state of Europe," which contains a selection of official papers, of whose authenticity there cannot be the least doubt. And whenever we have ventured to vary, in the relation of facts, from the aforesaid compilation, we have been guided literally by the last mentioned work. Some unqualified comments, and abusive epithets of the authors, we are authorized thro' innumerable channels to reject. And we are sure that every friend to truth, and the rights of man, will acknowledge that our omissions are judicious, even admitting that our copy, and the Annual Register agreed, in the passages selected by Argus.
It would be tedious and uninteresting to the reader, to take notice of all the passages he has adduced; we shall make remarks on the most material, and leave the rest for the reader's own reflections. (To be continued.)
Foreign Intelligence.
FLUSHING, August 25.
The siege of Sluys continued for several days past with unremitting vigor; and yesterday morning early, the cannonading was very distinctly heard, as usual; yet, to our very great surprise, at 8 o'clock it entirely ceased, and leaves us in the wild field of conjecture to account for the cause.
The siege is most probably raised, and converted into a blockade; but that the French have quitted Cadland is untrue, neither do we see any reason to imagine they intend it.
A few days will explain the cause of the present silence, and relieve us from our anxiety; for, we imagine Sluys has surrendered, as no signals have been made by the ships which are stationed in a line along the coast of Cadland, up to Flushing Roads, and can easily observe every thing at Sluys.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
August 12.
Barrere appeared at the tribune and read an energetic address to the Convention from the army of the Sambre and Meuse.
"Perish the man from among us who should feel capable to bend before a master, lay the brave soldiers of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, after having testified their indignation against Robespierre and other conspirators. The law, the law only for all, and annihilation to him who would endeavor to rise above it. Representatives, you decreed us a laurel for the victory obtained in the Fields of the Fleurs. You must accept the civic crown which the numerous and brave soldiers of the Sambre and Meuse present to you for the glorious 9th Thermidor. The Republic one and indivisible will always be our rallying point."
This address being read and ordered to be inserted in the minutes, the Reporter spoke of the Moselle army who have just merited a new triumph.
The retreat of the emigrants and the traitors to France is just taken. Treves is now punished for the perfidy of its Elector and the reception given to the brigands. Immense magazines, provisions, cattle in great numbers and heavy contributions in coin will produce an indemnity to the Republic. For four years Treves drained us of our money, they shall return it. They attempted to depreciate our assignats; they shall now take them. They participated in the plot of starving France: they shall feed our armies.
On the 18th the army began its march in three columns from different points, to rendezvous at Treves. One proceeded between the Moselle and Luxembourg; the other on the borders of the Sarre and the third advanced in the centre.
On the 19th an engagement took place with a corps of the enemy, whose cannonade did not injure us in the least, and whom we soon forced to retreat. Another corps defended the post of Gravenmacher (a town on the Moselle in the duchy of Luxembourg) but the trembling garrison evacuated this place, abandoned a vast magazine of oats and wheat and retreated towards Luxembourg. The communication of this fortress with Treves and the Moselle is now entirely cut off. On the 20th at nine o'clock in the evening we reached a bridge defended by a formidable artillery, which was soon swept away and abandoned entirely in less than an hour and a half.
The Austrians left here one cannon and an ammunition waggon, and besides the killed and wounded, 90 prisoners. The left column took during this time the famous Montagne Verte, (Green Mountain) where the tyrant Louis XVI. lost not less than 15,000 men, and before which a malevolent impostor of a general (Beurnonville is here meant) was baffled.
The enemy left here 600 dead, a great many wounded, and 80 prisoners. Our loss in this engagement, does not exceed 30 men. Treves was in less than two hours surrounded on all sides, and the army entered in two columns, on the 21st instant, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The Aristocrats, Monks, Nuns, and Grandees, had betaken themselves to their heels, and the municipal officers came for-
mally desisted, to offer us the keys of the city, to congratulate the Republicans on their success, and to assure them, that they were glad to see them.
The army kept its position on the eminences, which commanded the city. We are masters of the Moselle and the Sarre.
This happy news received uncommon applause. Ordered to be inserted in the Bulletin and transmitted to all the armies. August 15.
Le Cointre, of Versailles, organ of the commission charged to take off the seals of Robespierre's and his accomplices lodgings demanded, that new members should be appointed, in the room of Bourdon de L'Oise, Duval, Bourguin, and Perrin of the Vosges who, tho' named to this commission, had not presented themselves yet. A decree was accordingly passed, and Legaux, Letourneur of the Sarthe, Esperet of Arriege and Dizes were chosen.
After this several petitioners were admitted, one of which deplored on the Bureau some military decorations, taken from a Prussian officer.
The discussion on the new organization of the several committees recommenced, but the deliberation was soon after interrupted by the arrival of the Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States; he was conducted into the centre of the Hall, and a Secretary read the Translation of his discourse and credential letters, signed by George Washington, President of the United States of America, and Edmund Randolph, Secretary, at Philadelphia the 28th of May. The reading of this was accompanied by repeated shouts of Vive les Republique, and universal acclamations of applause. The discourse, &c. were ordered to be printed in the French and American languages.
The President gave the fraternal kiss to the minister, and has declared that he recognized James Monroe in this quality.
It was also decreed, on the motion of Moyle Bayle, that the colours of both nations should be suspended at the vault of the Hall as a sign of perpetual alliance and union. The minister took his seat on the mountain on the left of the President and he received the fraternal kiss from several deputies. The sitting was suspended.
LONDON.
Aug. 48. We are happy to find that count Mercier's death is not likely to interrupt the negotiation between the Emperor and our court. His Excellency had brought over a letter written by his Imperial majesty to our king, assuring him of our earnest intention to prosecute the war with the greatest vigor. This letter was some days since delivered by count Salmenberg to our government.
CAPTURES AT SEA.
Statement taken from Lloyd's lists of Captures from the 1st of February, 1794, to the 1st of August, 1794; six months:
   By the English.     67 French, (of which 4 are Frigates, 1 Sloop, and 1 Privateer)   13 Swedes   11 Danes   1 Dutch   1 Prussian   2 American   1 Hambro'   56 Vessels.  
   By the French.     236 English, (of which 3 are Privateers, and 1 Frigate)   32 Dutch, (including 1 Frigate)   4 Spanish   5 Portuguese   3 Prussian   5 American   3 Danes   288   96   192 Balance in Favour of the French.  
N. B. Recaptures accounted for.
To the above loss by the allies, &c. ought to be added 31 ships, (all which have hitherto appeared on Lloyd's lists) retaken and burnt by Lord Howe; and to the loss of the French 6 ships taken and 2 sunk, making eight ships of the line taken or sunk by Lord Howe on the 1st of June.
By the foregoing statement, and one formerly inserted, the following will be found to be the state of the captures for one year and an half, since the commencement of the war, viz.
   By the English By the Spanish.     299 French 21 French (ers   81 of other powers 9 of other pow.   By the Dutch.   2 French.  
   380 Vessels 30 Vessels     30 by the Spanish   2 by the Dutch   412 Vessels.  
By the French.
   568 English   120 of other powers   688 Vessels.  
This leaves a balance of two hundred and seventy-six in favour of the Republic of France, excluding the 45 ships, said to be taken and burnt at Toulon, and the 8 ships taken or sunk on the 1st of June, by the fleet under Lord Howe.

WILMINGTON, Oct. 25.
From the Delaware Gazette.
Messrs. Printers,
Died on the 17th inst. after a long and lingering illness, the Wilmington Academy, in the 20th year of its age; its constitution, tho' weakly and tumid, had, with a comfortable beginning, some prospect of future aggrandizement; but like many other orphans, the guardians have shamefully neglected their ward's interest; and have not as yet gave an account of their stewardship. It is rumored by some, and believed by many, that strict justice has not been done to the minor, and that their conduct will not bear investigation. Not long since they received from the Congress of the United States one thousand pounds on account of said orphan, and it was expected that such a generous sum would have put it on a respectable footing, but however it seems the guardians (trustees) find the sum too small yet, and have for their own safety [lest they should be out of pocket] leased out the mansion for a weaver's shop.
What authority is there to call those stewards to an account? If there is any authority, is it not high time it should be exercised, as it would certainly be a great satisfaction to those who have liberally subscribed, to know in what manner their money has been applied or disposed of.

HEAD QUARTERS, BEDFORD, October 21. GENERAL ORDERS.
To morrow at the hour of 8 in the morning the Light Corps will advance; Major Gen. Morgan will lead the one acting with the left wing and Major Gen. Prelinghuysen the one with the right wing.
On the next day at the same hour, the army will move in 2 columns, the right wing composed of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania lines, forming the right column, under the immediate command of his Excellency Gov. Mifflin; the left wing composed of the Maryland and Virginia lines forming the left column with the commander in chief.
The Quarter master General will continue with the right wing and the proper officers in his department and in the department of forage attended with a sufficient number of ax men, must accompany the Light Corps, under whose protection they are to prepare all necessaries for the army. Abundance of straw must be ready for the troops, inasmuch as their health greatly depends on their sleeping dry and warm. The utmost regularity must be preserved in the march and in the mode of encampment, which must always be in two lines, with the cavalry in the centre, unless prohibited by the nature of the ground.
Dragoons are dreadful in the light, & impotent in darkness, their safety during night must therefore be regarded.
The artillery to move as a park, and march in the centre.
Constant communications must be preserved between the Light Corps and the main body and between the respective columns, with all other precautions necessary to protect the troops from surprise and insult.
Whatever may be the professions of the insurgents, they are not to be regarded. Men who have acted a part so atrocious will cheerfully add to their guilt, if it can be done with impunity. Carelessness in the conduct of the army will invite attempts upon it, and produce war, while vigilance in the conduct of it will arrest the one and prevent the other.
The different columns will be precise in the execution of the daily marches assigned to them respectively, and if from unavoidable accidents either should fall short one day, the deficiency is to be made up the next day, otherwise the mutuality in operation will be lost and the army will be exposed to disgrace, and the evils of discordant movements.
The particular routes with the necessary instructions will be given to the commanding Generals, and will of course form the rule of their conduct.
When the right wing reaches it will divide into two columns, the N. Jersey line and brigade of cavalry, under Brigadier White, forming one column, to be commanded by his Excellency Gov. Howell, will take a direction to the right, while the Pennsylvania line, with the blue corps, will pursue the original route under the orders of Governor Mifflin. When those columns divide, the right will move from their right, and the left from their left.
Chosen parties of Horse must follow the rear of each wing to arrest stragglers from the line, and to protect the property of individuals, to the due preservation of which in every respect the utmost attention is to be paid by officers of every rank.
The President of the United States being about to return to the seat of government, has been pleased to direct the commander in chief to present to the army his affectionate wishes for their welfare and happiness; in no way can the very grateful command be so fully executed as by publishing the very words of the President, which are accordingly subjoined.
UNITED STATES, BEDFORD, October 20.
To Henry Lee, Esq. commander in chief of the Militia army on its march against the Insurgents, in certain western counties of Pennsylvania.
Sir,
Being about to return to the seat of government I cannot take my departure, without conveying through you to the army under your command, the very high sense I entertain of the enlightened and patriotic zeal for the constitution and the laws which has led them cheerfully to quit their families, homes and the comforts of private life, to undertake and thus far to perform a long and fatiguing march, and to encounter and endure the hardships and privations of a military life. Their conduct hitherto affords a full assurance that their perseverance will be equal to their zeal; and that they will continue to perform with alacrity whatever the full accomplishment of the object of their march shall render necessary.
No citizens of the United States can ever be engaged in a service more important to their country. It is nothing less than to consolidate and preserve the blessings of that revolution which at much expence of blood and treasure, constituted us a free and independent nation. It is to give to the world an illustrious example of the utmost consequence to the cause of mankind. I experience a heartfelt satisfaction in the conviction that the conduct of the troops throughout will be in every respect answerable to the goodness of the cause and the magnitude of the stake.
There is but one point on which I think it proper to add a special recommendation, it is that every officer and soldier will constantly bear in mind, that he comes to support the laws, and that it would be peculiarly unbecoming in him to be in any way the infractor of them, that the essential principles of the government confine the province of the military, when called forth on such occasions, to these two objects—1st, To combat and subdue all who may be found in arms, in opposition to the national will and authority—2d, To aid and support the civil magistrate in bring-

offenders to justice; the dispensation of this justice belongs to the civil magistrate, and let it ever be our pride and our glory to leave the sacred deposit there inviolate: convey to my fellow citizens in arms my warm acknowledgments for the readiness with which they have hitherto seconded me in the most delicate and momentous duty the chief magistrate of a free people can have to perform and add my affectionate wishes for their health, comfort and success. Could my further presence with them have been necessary, or compatible with my civil duties at a period when the approaching commencement of a session of Congress, particularly calls me to return to the seat of government, it would not have been withheld; in leaving them, I have less regret, as I know I commit them to an able and faithful direction, and that this direction will be able and faithfully seconded by all.
GO. WASHINGTON.
To this parental counsel of our beloved chief magistrate, the commander begs leave to add the flattering hopes he entertains, that the conduct of the army, will justify the favourable anticipation formed of it; thus shall we establish to ourselves a character the most amiable, and exhibit to posterity a model to all future armies. Less, however, some individuals may have crept into the ranks, callous to all the feelings of honor or virtue, and consequently the fair character so justly due to the great body of the troops may be snatched from them by the licentiousness of the few, the commanders of divisions, brigades, regiments and corps are required to examine minutely their respective troops before they move, and dismiss all whom they may deem unworthy of participating in the honorable service in which we have embarked. Six rounds of ammunition are to be issued to all corps as yet unfurnished. The troops are to draw two day's provisions, on alternate days during the march. The Pennsylvania and Maryland lines to draw on one day, and the New-Jersey and Virginia lines on the next day; this system will be convenient for the superintendents of provisions, and consequently tend to produce punctuality in the supplies. The commander in chief has been pleased to appoint Major Wm. Alexander, and Major Nelson deputy Adjutant-Generals, and Doctors Welford Surgeon-General—Majors Hand, Morgan and Chetwood, aids de camps to the commander in chief, they are to be respected accordingly. It is to be understood that no appointments in the line of the army is to affect appointments heretofore made.
A correspondent observes that the amount of the argument against the excise so called, in the Dialogue copied from a Virginia paper into the Gazette of the United States of Monday, applies with equal force against any just and equal tax that has been, or can be imposed. To render a tax equal in its operation, guard against frauds, and preserve the honest man from being sacrificed to the chicanery of rogues, every possible caution must be devised and attended to.
MR. FENNO. The paragraphists of Baltimore continue to rail against the late proceedings of our Citizens for acting agreeable to the dictates of the first law of nature, self preservation, in stopping the intercourse during the raving of the late epidemic in that Town—on reading one of their late publications the following occurred: Yours C.
The people of Baltimore may say what they please, But we must remember the pitch-fork and cheese— Right happy we are to learn that the fever, Which render'd it right our connection to fever,— Has taken its flight, and death has no more, His meals of a dozen a day, or a score: But still 'tis in vain to carp and to rail, 'The fever was there, they told us each mail. And 'tis a hard case that they should desire, We should burn our own house, because their's was on fire.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, October 28. The President of the New-York Marine Society.
SIR, FEELING sincerely for the situation of our unfortunate fellow citizens who are in captivity at Algiers, and wishing as far as it lies within my ability to contribute to their relief, I beg leave to request the favor of you to inform the members of your society, that I mean

This sum shall be paid into the hands of any person or persons that the society may think proper to appoint, and it must be solely applied to the relief of the citizens of the United States, who already are or may become captives in Algiers during the said period of two years. I inclose you a price current of American produce at this island, and assure you that every exertion shall be made by me to render pleasing sales; and I pledge my reputation that the quality of the wines I shall ship shall be such as will give me credit, and my correspondents satisfaction.

And very humble servant, JOHN M. PINTARD, Consul of the U. S. of America. Madeira, 2d Aug. 1794.
TO JOHN M. PINTARD, Esq. Consul of the United States of America.
New-York, 13th Oct. 1794.
SIR, Agreeable to your request, I have taken the earliest opportunity of communicating to the Marine Society of this city, your benevolent intentions towards the unfortunate American captives in Algiers; the society highly applaud and will make every exertion to promote and carry into effect the laudable design. Mr. William Heyer, our Treasurer, is appointed to receive and apply the money arising from this source under the superintendence of our standing committee, pursuant to your direction. I feel much interested in the success of your proposal, will cheerfully aid it with my personal solicitations, and request you to send me six pipes, as a specimen. I am, Sir,
With respect, your very humble servant JAMES FARQUHAR. October 28.

PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, the order which prescribes a station in the port of New-York for ships of war or other armed vessels belonging to the belligerent nations, may become inconvenient, particularly at this inclement season of the year, to those that stand in need of repair, to which they may be entitled by treaty or the rights of hospitality—And whereas it is proper that such difficulties whenever they occur should be obviated—It is hereby declared, That any vessel of the above description after the first day of November next, or until otherwise directed, may, upon a certificate of one of the wardens of the Port to the commandant of Governor's Island, that such vessel is in want of repairs, pass the forts, take such station as the wardens shall assign, and continuing only as long as may be requisite for that purpose. And it is expected that all persons concerned in the execution of these directions, will conduct themselves with the strictest impartiality.
By the Governor, DE WITT CLINTON, Secretary.
New-York. 27th October, 1794.
We are happy to hear that the malignant fever at Newhaven and Baltimore has ceased raging.
The Hon. Mr. Gilman, from New-Hampshire—and the Hon. Mr. Tracy, from Connecticut, are arrived in this city, on their way to Congress.
By the Albany Gazette we have a confirmation of the evacuation of the Fort at the falls of the Miami of the lakes, by the British Major Campbell.
INDIAN NEWS.
WINCHESTER, October 20.
Last week Capt. Jacob Slough, of the federal army, passed through this town from head quarters. In the action with the savages on the 20th of August last, Capt. Slough was shot through the body, and miraculously survived it. We are extremely happy to add, that the wound is now perfectly healed. This Gentleman brings no later information from the army than what we have already printed. We are, however, informed thro' another channel, that General Scott, with a select detachment under his command, has again defeated the Indians, and made great havoc among them.
UPTON, in Stillwater, October 21, 1794.
There is a report in circulation, that at least bears the appearance of probability, that Gen. Wayne, has (since the defeat of the Savages) attacked the British garrison at the Miami, commanded by the [in]vincible Major. Campbell, which he took at the point of the bayonet.
LANSINGBURGH, N. Y. Oct. 21.
The New-York Herald mentions intelligence having been received there of the evacuation of Fort Miami, by Major Campbell. This report is confirmed by a person of this town who left Montreal, Friday before last, who says that the news had been received there direct, and that it was spoken of publicly as having been done to, as they term him, "the d—d rebel General," (Wayne.) Our informant further adds, that about a week previous to his leaving Montreal, the garrison and inhabitants had been much alarmed at the disaffection of the Canadians, who went so far as to embody on an island not far from the town, to the number of 7 or 800;—their object being, as was supposed, the release of 10 or 12 persons, Canadians, Loyalists, and from the United States, who had been imprisoned for words spoken disrespectful of the government. The garrison lay on their arms for several days, and the inhabitants equipped and ordered to appear at a moment's warning; but from the want of resolution in the chiefs of the insurrection, they dispersed without making any attempts, and all appeared tranquil when he left the place. It was the determination of those within the walls, in case of an assault, to have put the prisoners to death on the attack.
The prejudice of the Canadians is so great against the English, it is thought that had they forced their way into town, every person who was not French would have fallen a victim to their fury.
The person further adds, that Col. Fitch, the custom house officer at St. Johns, is said to have been too lenient to the illicit traders from the United States, and broken Patrick Conroy, now fills that office, and has adopted the most rigorous measures to prevent any illicit intercourse between the U. S. and Canada. He is constantly attended by upwards of 50 dependants night and day, who guard all the avenues. Several persons have met with severe losses since the new arrangements.
By an arrival this day from St. Peterburgh, an account is received of the capture of Memel by the Poles. Memel is a strong sea-port, situated on the Baltic, in Samogitia.

Foreign Intelligence,
BERN-CASTEL, Aug. 14. The French behave extremely well in Treves; they keep an excellent discipline. Divine service is performed in churches and schools as before; they do not hurt the clergy, & if any depredations have been committed, it was done by our own peasants. The French pay for every thing very dear, but in afflig-nats.
DUBLIN, September 3. The French, without having yet penetrated into Holland, have produced an immense degree of mischief. The loss which must ensue in consequence of the general inundation, is calculated at many millions; a loss which that country will not be able to recover for a considerable number of years. Fontarabia, lately taken by the French, is a place of considerable importance. It is situated on a peninsula on the shore of the Bay of Biscay, has a good tide harbor, and was formerly considered as the key to Spain, in that quarter. Barrere already talks of it as a conquest that will separate Spain from the coalition, and indeed, according to all appearances, Spain must either separate from the coalition, or like some of the other allies, demand a subsidy to enable the Catholic King to defend his own territories.
The language of the French, is very much improved since the fall of Robespierre. In the Convention, a member has been reprimanded for asking how another member voted on the death of the late King; a question which for more than two months has been held a sufficient answer to the arguments of any man, who voted for sparing the life of the unfortunate monarch. Even in the Jacobin Club, nothing is listened to with approbation, but sentiments of moderation and humanity. It remains to be seen whether or not, the improvement of their conduct will keep pace with the improvement of their speeches.

C. W. PEALE. EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM fill more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the suggestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate. Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communications in a private book which he will keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have been lost with their authors. It may secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of discovery to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disseminating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

Kammerer's, No. 24, north Third Street.  Sweet Stories, For the instruction and amusement of Youth. Adapted to the use of Schools. From the French of M. Berquin Extract from the Preface. "To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing children, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is raised and the Heart improved, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must even be held in deserved esteem." "Happily such is the agreeable utility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative, or the animated points of conversation: whether in shrewd remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature." "Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valuable substitute (where such may be preferred) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author." At No. 24, north Third Street, may also be had the following

Forty dollars reward. RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on Saturday night the 11th inst. A Mulatto LAD, named Bill, generally called Bill Madden, about 17 or 18 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of a slim make, has trait black hair, which he sometimes wears tied, but generally loose; he has been accustomed to wait altogether in a house, and having been much indulged, has become too idle to work for a support. He took with him a brown fustian double breasted long coat, one drab cloth coat, with red cuffs and cape, the pockets and skirts trimmed with red edges, a fustian waistcoat a pair of buckskin breeches, a pair of red striped trowsers, and several other cloths, also a pair of boots, half worn. It is probable he has a forged pass, and will endeavor to pass as a free man. From every circumstance, I am led to believe he went off with a white woman, and that they had taken their passage in a vessel bound to Philadelphia. The above reward will be paid to any person delivering, me the said servant, and reasonable charges for bringing him home. Daniel Carroll. Of Duddington. City of Washington, Oct. 20 Oct. 17 *gtw2w

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A luminous View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we do not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, tinct being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
