Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river
and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on
the soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous
streams of water are interspersed
through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract
of about thirty thousand acres, and is with
the exception of one obstruction, navigable
to the Susquehannah.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its
branches, waters another tract of about
forty thousand acres of good Land, empties
itself into the Lachawannock, about
twelve miles from the Susquehannah.
It affords numerous Mill seats, and its
course creates large bodies of well watered
meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks
of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the
accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, towards
the most convenient market.
The county town is not more than 12
miles distant from many parts of the settlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and
safe navigation to Middletown, from whence
the Canal to Schuylkill extends the communication
to the city.
Another means of connection with Philadelphia,
is by the Delaware, from which
the distance in several places is about thirty
miles.
The proprietors combining their own interest
with that of the inhabitants, are disposed
to erect works of public utility, open
roads, &c. and in every ten miles square, a
tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a
School, and one hundred acres for the first
resident clergyman of any denomination of
Christians.

MR. FENNO,
A PUBLICATION of a description
the description No. 2, having appeared in
Messrs. Angel and Sullivan's Baltimore Pa-
per, we thought proper to publish in the
same paper our disavowal of it; an advertisement
has since been published in your pa-
per, under date of the 7th inst., asserting
that "for the Lottery No. 2, the securities
"already given will be retained by the
"Commissioners or transferred by them at
"their option to the Bank of Columbia,"
&c. &c. and since that a scheme of Lottery
No. 3, has also been distributed with your
papers in a supplement.
These publications may lead some to be-
lieve that Lottery No. 2, is carried on un-
der the countenance of the commissioners;
that security is lodged with them, and that
they will see that the terms are complied
with.
No security is lodged with us on account
of any new Lottery, nor have we anything
to do with any such, you will therefore ob-
lige us by publishing this, and our former
disavowal included.

THE Commissioners were no farther
concerned in the Lottery No. 2, than in giving
a naked permission for it; a second state-
ment was advertised in Angel and Sullivan's
Baltimore paper, under the description No.
2. Whether it comports with the terms of
this state does not particularly concern us,
but as, from the manner of the publication
the public may possibly infer that the Lot-
tery is raised with the approbation of the
Commissioners, and that they will attend to
the conduct of it, we think proper to de-
clare that we have given no countenance to
the publishing or carrying on this Lottery;
nor will have any thing to do with the con-
duct of it.

SWITZERLAND,
BASLE, May 8.
The news is at present extremely important. The French are in Piedmont on the one side, and, on the other, they have early, last week, passed the Petit Mont St. Bernard and have taken the town of Aost, which commands the valley of the same name, & is the capital of the principality of Aost; from thence to Turin, there is but fifteen or sixteen leagues distance, along the river Dora Baltea, which joins the Po near Civalco, about six leagues from Turin. The forts Bard, Terea, and Civalco, are the only obstacles on the road, of less consequence than the port they have stormed. We have the intelligence from the brother of a Swiss officer in the king of Sardinia's service, who was unfortunately killed in this affair.
There were two attacks by the French in the morning; after an action of two hours, they made a false retreat. At night, the posts were attacked with such fury, that the Piedmontese gave way. The Swiss defended the pass for a long time, till overpowered by numbers, they were obliged to retreat with a considerable loss. Morges and Sola were carried from this place, only distant three leagues from Aost. The French marched forward, and entered pell-mell, according to report, with the Sardinian troops.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
20th Floreal.—(9 May.)
The Convention granted 100 livres monthly, during the term of their imprisonment, to those who have been acquitted by the revolutionary tribunal.
A pension of 100 livres yearly was granted to each of the female Citizens who, in the year 1789, repaired to Versailles, to conduct thence Louis XVI. and his family to Paris, as prisoners.
The Section of La Montaigne announced, that the forced loan had produced 1,700,000 livres in that section. The saltpetre works had already yielded 7,600 pounds weight of that article.
NAPLES, April 15.
Their Majesties and the royal family are all the time at Caserta—they have lately received deputations from the principal nobility, the magistrates, the merchants and others, who have renewed their professions of attachment and fidelity, and their offers of support in the present circumstances of danger.
It is not said that their majesties are perfectly satisfied—for my part I should not advise them to return to their capital, till they receive deputations from the Sans Culottes of their kingdom.
LONDON, May 20.
Saturday morning, at ten o'clock, their Majesties, the Princesses, and soon after their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Clarence and Gloucester, and Princess Sophia, came to St. James's palace, where they viewed the colours that lately came home from the West Indies; after which they adjourned to Lady Finch's apartments, from whence they saw the ceremony of receiving the colours by a party of the guards, under command of General Stevens, and which, after coming out of the court-yard, being joined by two parties of life-guards in the van and rear, they bore to St. Paul's cathedral, where they were hung up as trophies of victory, with the usual ceremonies: The musical band, at their removal from the palace, and also at their depositing, playing Te Deum and God save the King .
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Needham, one of his Majesty's messengers in ordinary, took into custody in the city, one Edwards, charged with making and having in his custody, a staff of six feet high of wood, mounted with a long sharp piece of iron, about a foot long, made in imitation of a Parisian pike. On his examination, he had made others for one Hilliard, and a foreigner of the name of Roussell, both members of the different societies in White-chapel. Hilliard and Roussell were both taken yesterday afternoon, and pikes of this description found in their custody.
The French had advanced to Binch, within a few miles of Mons, and which they threatened with an immediate attack. Prince Kaunitz here attacked them and checked their progress. He is said to have gained a considerable
victory, and to have driven them across the Sambre, with the loss of a great number of men.
The most material part, however, of the intelligence brought by the messenger yesterday, is a confirmation that the Prussians had arrived at Liege, in their way to join the Austrian army. No new engagement had taken place; but the Duke was preparing to march immediately to attack the French at Courtrai, having affected a communication with General Clairfait. An action of very great magnitude was expected to take place on the 17th. The allied forces destined to make this attack, amount to 70,000 men.
Letters from Berlin, dated April 20th, mention, that the siege of that place is carried on by Lord Hood with great vigor. It is with regret we learn that Lieut. Tupper, of the navy, an officer of distinguished gallantry and merit, had been killed by a cannon-shot striking him in the breast.
Admiral Vandeput is appointed to command at Newfoundland, in the room of Sir Richard King.
May 19.
The mails which were due this morning have not arrived; but we yesterday received letters from Flanders by a private conveyance. There has been no engagement of any consequence since that on the 11th instant, in which Gen. Clairfait's loss was greater than the allies have yet sustained in any action.
Eighteen thousand Prussians have reached the environs of Liege, and 22,000 more are marching as quietly as possible towards the Netherlands.
May 21.
In consequence of the state prisoners on Monday sent to the Tower, very particular orders are given relative to the military guards, and the gates are to be shut an hour earlier than usual every evening.
Accounts from Paris, by way of Brussels, report the murder of the amiable Princess Elizabeth, at the hands of the Revolutionary Tribunal. For the honor of human nature, we wish to disbelieve this for the present, as we never heard of a single insinuation brought against her.
The Americans, as our readers will see by the resolution of Congress inserted in this paper, have laid an embargo on all ships in their ports. Letters from thence state, that notwithstanding this measure, the general will is, that they may maintain their neutrality, but that a step of this kind was necessary as a measure of retaliation, to hasten the settlement of the indemnity that may be due to them for injuries their commerce has sustained by the capture and detention of their vessels by the English cruisers.
In consequence of information received by the magistrates and sheriff of Edinburgh, several persons were apprehended there on Thursday and Friday night, and after being examined, were committed to prison. In two of their houses some weapons, between forty and fifty, were found; several of them are made after the form of a battle ax, 22 inches long, and having what resembles a small scythe, much curved, fixed across. Others of these instruments are in the shape of daggers, bayonets, pikes, &c. They are all made so as they can be fixed on poles, or used without them. One of the persons apprehended is a blacksmith, who has of late been busily employed in manufacturing them. He refuses to answer who employed him, but says, that hearing that an invasion was intended by the French, he thought the citizens would need such instruments as weapons of defence, and as he expected a good sale, thought it best to have some ready made.
On Tuesday, the 15th inst. a most desperate affray happened at the fair of Kilnelack, near Cavan, the circumstances of which are thus stated in a letter from that quarter:
A number of persons, calling themselves Defenders having come to the fair, declared they would destroy every Scotchman or Presbyterian they should find. They met at Mr. Bigger's, who had upon all occasions been forward in suppressing such lawless depredators, and having cut and abused him in a shocking manner, some humane people got him from the crowd and concealed him from their fury. Word was immediately sent to the Ballyjamesduff and the neighborhood, when a Mr. Blakeley assembled about forty of his neighbors (Protestants and Unitarians) and proceeded on their way to Kilnelack. They were met by the banditti within one mile of the town, who made a shew of opposition. Mr. Blakeley, accompanied with some others, went to them, and stated that they did not come with any hostile intent, but hearing of the treatment Mr. Bigger had received, they were determined to bring him home dead or alive, upon which one, the lead-
er of the party made a stroke of a sword at Mr. Blakeley's head, which he deflected with a blunderbuss, and had one of his fingers shot off, whereupon a fellow was instantly shot dead; the insurgents immediately called to each other to surround Mr. B's party, which they attempted to do, but received a smart reception, that after a short engagement they fled, leaving thirty two of their companions dead on the spot.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
Monday, May 19.
Received from the Commons the bill to empower his majesty to secure and detain such persons as he shall suspect, &c. and also the report of the committee of the House of Commons on the papers of the Society for Constitutional Information, and the London Corresponding Society, &c.
Lord Grenville said, he had two motions to make on a future day: the one was for a vote of thanks to that House to Sir Charles Grey, and Sir John Jervis, and all the officers and troops under their command, for their services in the West-Indies. The other was a committee of nine of their lordships, to examine into the report of the committee of secrecy of the House of Commons.
Earl Stanhope objected to any measure that tended to overthrow the constitution of this country, by suspending the Habeas Corpus act, because it was the strongest pillar of that constitution.
The Earl of Lauderdale approved highly of the intended motion for the vote of thanks; but intimated that he should be opposed to any measure that tended to pass the bill brought from the Commons, to suspend the Habeas Corpus act, that being the most alarming measure under the present circumstances, that ever was taken by the government of this country.
The Marquis of Lansdowne approved of the motion of thanks mentioned by the noble Secretary of State. He was glad ministers had thought it to delay the proceeding on the dreadful and alarming measure of suspending the bill that ever passed to secure the rights of the people of this country; the Habeas Corpus act. He hoped they would make good use of the interval: He was glad to see in them some signs of repentance for the alarm they had already created.
The lords proceeded to ballot for a secret committee of nine, and the following noble peers were chosen:
The Lord Chancellor, Earl of Carlisle, Duke of Leeds, Earl of Chatham, Duke of Portland, Earl of Mansfield, Earl Hardwicke.
POLISH REVOLUTION.
Extract of a letter from Warsaw.
The Polish insurrection is an event which must attract the attention of Europe, it is of consequence therefore, to afford the public every possible light upon the subject. The general fear is, that this insurrection, though undertaken to deliver the country from a foreign yoke, may degenerate into an imitation of those civilities of which France has become the theatre. Nothing, however, can be more ill grounded than this supposition. All that has been said in the public papers of the executions, and sanguinary sentences that have taken place, is entirely false. The National Tribunal established in order to decide upon crimes against the nation, has not yet tried one person. The Cardinal law of Poland Neminem captivabimus nisi jure vicium , is respected and strictly adhered to. It is true, that there have been discovered, from the papers of the Russian general and ministers which have fallen into the hands of the patriots, proofs of the most scandalous treason on the part of several individuals; but the proceedings, against all persons taken up in consequence of these discoveries, have been conducted according to the established practice of the Court at Warsaw, are there to be decided by the great National Tribunal; a mode directly opposite to that of the French Revolutionary Tribunal. Here the proceedings are not conducted by the Tribunal which condemns, and condemnation cannot be pronounced till after a legal conviction. There the same judges conduct the proceedings, pronounce condemn, not according to evidence, but in consequence of the persuasion which they have formed of the guilt or innocence of the accused, from a mode of procedure so summary.
A New Invention in Typography.
Upon good authority we can inform such of our readers as it may concern, that, by the suggestion of Professor Wilson, there has lately been introduced,
at the Glasgow Letter Foundery, a very simple but important improvement of the Full Type, by means of which the Letter-press may in future be secured against a certain vexatious source of errors to which it has been liable ever since the invention of the Art of Printing. Mr. Wilson, to whom the thought occurred some years ago, had chiefly in view the perfect correctness of Astronomical and Nautical Tables, which has now become of so much moment, from their subserviency to the lunar method of finding the longitude at sea.
It is well known that, after infinite care and labour have been bestowed upon rendering the proof sheets of such Tables quite correct, yet, during the whole time the work is at press, it is exposed to subsequent errors, by the types being pulled out by the balls, and improperly placed in the hurry of Printing.
Errors thus generated without knowledge, and at different times, renders it impossible to pronounce as to the correctness of any one copy of the same edition, without actually collating it with some standard one.
As a remedy, however, for this evil, the types are now cast so as to lock into one another throughout the whole page, and in such a manner that the balls cannot pull out one type without dislocating the whole—a circumstance which can never happen. This locking is effected by a small semi-cylindrical protuberance formed by the mould upon the body of each type, corresponding to a hollow or nick exactly opposite; and it has been found that such types, with their spaces, &c. can be cast and dressed with all the accuracy of common types.
For printing Classics or other works intended to be very correct, and where the page is not intersected with black lines so common in Mathematical Tables, there has also been introduced at the Glasgow Letter Foundery, types more simple in their construction.
These are cast with two small semi-circular nicks exactly opposite to one another. By this construction, when the pages are composed, and have undergone their final correction, small brass wires, of a proper size and length, can be lodged in the hollow cylindrical canals between every two lines, which will effectually lock the types, so that none can possibly arise by the adhesion to the balls.
The application of these types will necessarily demand of the compositor a management somewhat different from what is common, and may not perhaps be quite so commodious. But as they are intended for special and important purposes, any such extra trouble, attending their use, cannot be considered in the light of an objection against the improvement.
DUBLIN, May 13.
Monday, Miles Dignum, of Granston Street, was found guilty at the court of quarter sessions, before the recorder, of having insulted Capt. Witherington, of the 9th horse, in order to provoke him to fight a duel; when the court sentenced him to be imprisoned in Newgate for 6 months, to pay a fine of 50l. and to give security for his good behavior for seven years. This is the third time Mr. Dignum has been convicted and punished for insulting officers.
May 17.
Extract of a letter from London May 12.
This morning a shoe-maker in Piccadilly was taken up on a charge of treason, and all his papers seized. His name is Hardy; he was secretary to the corresponding Jacobin Society. Among his papers are some letters from Ireland, which may become of serious concern to the authors.—Mr. Stone is fully committed for trial.—In the course of his examination, it appeared that H. Rowan, was an accomplice. A proclamation appeared next day in the London Gazette by his majesty in council, offering a reward of 1000l. for apprehending Rowan.
The trial of the proprietors of the Northern Star, comes on next Monday in the court of king's bench—The publication of an advertisement for the promotion of Catholic emancipation, is said to be the alleged libel.
The three last Gazettes contain 35 bankruptcies—but are so busied in celebrating our profitable victories in Flanders, that we have no time to think of commercial ruin and domestic distress!
THE KING v. COX.
May 12.—The Traverser was tried at the bar on an indictment for seducing officers to go to Boston in North America, and after a trial of three hours, acquitted without going into defence.
He was tried upon a second indictment for a similar offence; but the lawyers for the prosecution were declined any further proceedings, he was of course acquitted.
When Mr. Cox was acquitted of the second indictment, lord chief justice Clomnel, addressing himself to Mr. Cox said, "whatever satisfaction I have in seeing an individual fairly and honorably acquitted, of an offence in its nature highly mischievous to the nation, I cannot but feel some pain in reflecting that
a man to whose talents the public have borne such an ample testimony, and which they have so fully encouraged and rewarded, should even give a pretext for such a prosecution. The evils which would arise, if the practice of spitting away artificers, was not strongly resisted by law, would be infinite, and would, in a short time, leave this country poor indeed! I shall, however, say no more upon the subject; but I trust the little I have said will make you Mr. Cox, careful in future, how you give even a pretence to any description of men to charge you again with this offence against the laws of a country which has fostered your talents."
WATERFORD, May 7.

PARIS, May 27.
There has been another action on the 21st of May, near Tournay, between the republican army, commanded by Pichegru and the combined armies. These last were forced to cross the Scheldt, after a bloody action which lasted 24 hours. The French lost two pieces of artillery, took seven and made 500 prisoners.
On the 20th May the right of the French was at Binch and was to advance on Mons of Charleroi; their head quarters still at Courtrai, the left extending near Ostend.
The same correspondent informs that an attempt had been made to assassinate Robespierre, by a young woman, 17 years of age. An attempt was also made on the life of another member of the committee of safety, both without success.
The latter attempt was made by a man armed with a double barreled gun, who missing his first shot, fled and concealed himself in a house, where he was followed by the member and an officer that chanced to pass just after the shot was fired. They discovered the villain in his hiding place, and received notice from him, that the first person who endeavored to arrest him should receive the contents of his loaded barrel. The member attempted to advance, but was prevented by the officer who declared he had not a right to hazard his life because he belonged to the people. The officer stepped forward, then, and received a ball in his shoulder, with one arm, however, he secured the assassin.
The Convention decreed, that a bulletin of the officer's health should be published daily until his complete recovery.
UNITED STATES.
STOCKBRIDGE, July 8.
INDEPENDENCE.
On Friday last, the 4th July, a large and respectable number of gentlemen from various parts of the county assembled at Great Barrington, to celebrate the memorable event which gave rank to America among the nations of the earth. At one o'clock they moved in procession from the House of Captain W. Pynchon, to the Meeting House, where the Rev. Mr. Judson, of Sheffield, addressed the Throne of Grace, in a suitable and well adapted Prayer—After which an excellent Oration was delivered by John Whiting, Esq. commemorative of those great events which led to the establishment of American Independence.—The company then returned to Captain Pynchon's; and, at about 4 o'clock, they sat down to an elegant entertainment, provided on the occasion, under a beautiful Bower, on an adjoining green. After dinner the following Toasts were drank, accompanied with the discharge of cannon:
1. The DAY. (Three Cheers) 2. The PRESIDENT, the Man of the PEOPLE. (Three Cheers) 3. Our Country, and the National Legislature—May its Councils always be pure and enlightened. 4. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 5. Liberty, May it be the first object of Government to secure it against the efforts of faction, licentiousness and tyranny. 6. The memory of the great men who fought and fell in the cause of America. 7. The Vice-President, and the other Patriots by whose wisdom, under the smiles of Providence, America was conducted through perils, to peace, liberty and safety. 8. May this land of Freedom, fertilized by the blood of heroes, never be

polluted by violence or civil discord, nor its fair fruits blasted by the insidious machinations of those canker worms of society, false but pretended patriots.
9. The Chief Justice of the United States, Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of London—May his mission be successful; otherwise may America be unanimous in asserting her honor, and avenging the unprovoked insults of her citizens.
10. The Secretary of the Treasury—May his talents, integrity and industry receive their best reward, the grateful acknowledgements of his fellow-citizens.
11. The means of Education—May the sentiment be universal, that intelligence and virtue are indispensable to the support of republican government.
12. The most useful and honorable class of citizens, The Husbandmen of America.
13. May every self-created society which attempts to obstruct or control the expressions of the public will, by the Constitutional Representatives of the People, meet their abhorrence and detestation.
14. Our Fair Countrywomen. 15. Freedom and happiness to all mankind.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 17.
The "Courier Francois" of this morning, referring to the engagement between the French and English fleets, reported by Capt. Green to have taken place the last of May and beginning of June, says— "We shall give to-morrow some details of this action."
A letter from New York, by this day's mail, informs that the six vessels, (one of which was armed) captured out of the convoy from the Capes, were taken by one of the British frigates—that the master of a vessel from New Providence arrived at New York yesterday morning, reports that he saw the Concorde frigate strike her colours to a British ship of 64 guns. One of the convoy, commanded by Captain Dillon has escaped, and is arrived in the Delaware.
Chretien and Hugues, the two commissioners arrived at Guadalupe with the forces from France, on the 7th of June, at Point-a-Petre issued their proclamation communicating the decree of the convention relative to the freedom of the negroes.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in London to his correspondent in this city, received by the ship Theresa.
"I hope before this that you are satisfied that no war can take place between America and this country, as Great Britain means to pay for every American cargo that has been condemned since the war."
SIR, THE inclosed papers from Captain Denny came to hand yesterday, which with two other letters directed to your excellency, and one to General Knox, I now send to you by express, as they contain matters of the utmost importance to the state.
The British have at length succeeded in accomplishing their long wished for object, in getting the Six Nations to join the western Indians against the United States, and I am afraid our frontiers will feel the effects. Your excellency may rest assured, that nothing shall be wanting on my part to afford them and Capt. Denny every assistance in my power.

I have the honor to be, With sincere regard, Your excellency's very humble servant.
JOHN GIBSON. Pittsburgh, July 7th, 1794.
Copy of a letter from Israel Chapin, Superintendent of Indian affairs for the Six Nations, to the commandant at Le Bœuf.
Presqu'Isle, Tuesday 24th June, 1794—3 o'clock, P. M.
Dear Sir, I HAVE just arrived at this place with a deputation from the Six Nations,
consisting of sixteen chiefs and warriors, with a message we were desired to deliver to some people whom they supposed were here. I thought it would be convenient to inform you of my arrival, and that I shall be at Le Bœuf to-morrow at 2 o'clock with this deputation.
I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, ISRAEL CHAPIN, Superintendent of the Six Nations.
At a council holden at Fort Le Bœuf, June 26th, 1794, by Andrew Ellicott, and Captain Denny with General Chapin and a deputation from the Six Nations—General Chapin opened the business, by reading the proceedings of the council at Buffalo, which were as follows:—
At a council holden at Buffalo Creek by the Six Nations of Indians, on the 18th of June, 1794. General Chapin was addressed as follows: Captain O' Bail, Speaker.
Brother, WHEN we sent for you, it was because we placed great dependence upon you—we expected that you would not fail in doing every thing in your power to assist us.
Brother, We now hope that you will exert yourself in removing those people off our lands, we know very well what they have come on for, and we want them pushed back.
Brother, We now wish that you and Mr. Johnson would go together, and remove those people back over the line, which we have marked out upon the map.
Brother, If those people remove off immediately we shall consider them as our friends—if not we shall consider them as no friends.
Brother, We wish that you and Mr. Johnson would go together upon this business, and we shall send ten warriors to attend you, and we shall expect that you will bring us word when you return.
This speech was delivered with six firings of black and white wampum.
After this speech was read Mr. Ellicott and Captain Denny desired one hour to prepare an answer, at the expiration of which, Mr. Ellicott delivered the following reply to the message sent by General Chapin and Mr. Johnson.
Brothers of the Six Nations, Your brethren of Pennsylvania have always been attentive to the interest of the Indians especially to that of the Seneca Nation, and happy to meet them in peace and unity.
Brothers, We have heard your message by General Chapin, and Mr. Johnson, and have considered the request.
Brothers, By the peace of 1782, the King of Great Britain added to your brethren of Pennsylvania, all the lands which they claim, but from a regard to justice, and considering you as the real owners of the soil, could not consider themselves as entitled to it until fairly purchased from yourselves.
Brothers, The lands which you have requested us to move off have for several years past been purchased by the state of Pennsylvania from the Six nations, and the lines bounding the same were opened and marked with their consent and approbation. The purchase north of the north boundary of Pennsylvania west of the Conewango river, Lake Chataqua and the path leading from thence to Lake Erie, and south of the said lake was made of your chiefs at Fort Harmar by Gen. Butler and Gen. Gibson, and the money and goods punctually paid to them.
Brothers, Your brethren have fairly and openly made the purchase of all the lands and which they claim, and having sold those lands to such people as chose to settle and work them, they think it now their duty to protect such settlers from the depredation of all such persons as may attempt to molest them.
Brothers, The present military preparations of your Brethren of Pennsylvania were intended to protect the citizens against the western hostile Indians only—not supposing any protection necessary against the Six Nations whom they consider as their friends and allies.
Brothers, The line which you have marked on the map will take back from your brethren of Pennsylvania a large tract of land which they have purchased from you. We cannot therefore consistently with our duty remove from those lands, unless directed by the great council of our people, to whom we shall immediately send your message.
Brothers,
We should be sorry that continuing on our lands which you have sold to your Brethren of Pennsylvania should be the cause of any uneasiness, or why we should not be considered by you as friends.
Brothers, Your brethren of Pennsylvania, are a generous people, they have never wished for more than they were willing to pay for, and have never attempted to take what did not belong to them: they will be glad to meet you at all times, & afford relief to the weak and hungry of your people who may take the trouble to come and see them at this place; in the mean time, as we are ordered here by the great council, your brethren of Pennsylvania cannot consistently with our duty, remove from hence until orders come from them for that purpose. Your message however, shall be immediately forwarded by express to them for their consideration.

NEW-YORK, July 16.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, to a gentleman of this city, dated May 22.
"Since writing the foregoing, we learn that the Spaniards have had a severe beating near Roussillon:—Report says, that they have lost 260 pieces of cannon, all their baggage, provisions and stores, a great many men are killed, wounded and missing, and the rest retiring, or rather running away, towards Barcelona."
We learn by the arrival of the French sloop of war Cornelia, that the La Concorde, Perdrix, Lascasses & Prompte with a fleet of 25 sail under convoy, failed from the Delaware on Sunday last, and on Monday, about 27 leagues from the land, they fell in with 2 British ships of the line and 2 frigates. Six of the merchant ships were unfortunately taken: the convoy and the rest of the fleet it is supposed effected their escape.
The Perdrix has since arrived within the Narrows, and several ships were yesterday evening seen standing for Sandy Hook, supposed to be part of the above fleet.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Captain of the Amelia, who arrived last evening informs, that the fleet of 30 odd victuallers failed from the Delaware last Sunday, under convoy of the Concorde of 44, the Perdrix of 26, and the Lascasses of 18 guns; that about 27 leagues out they fell in with two 74 gun British ships, and 2 frigates; that he saw the signal to disperse, 6 of the vessels manned, and the 2 ships in chase of the Concorde, which seemed to leave them fast.
Mr. M c Lean, Sir,
Although the news of the victory obtained over the Spaniards, contained in the proceedings of the National Convention of France, and other pieces published in your paper, particularly in that of Saturday the 12th inst. bear a very shameful contradiction of the bombardment of the Spanish army, with the loss of several thousand men, 200 pieces of artillery, and possession of most of the Province of Catalonia by the French, as announced to the public a few days ago in Letters supposed to have been written in Bourdeaux, and which probably never crossed the sea; still I think myself justifiable in authorising you hereby to acquaint the public with the truth of the operations of both the Spanish and French armies in the eastern Pyrenees, from the 28th of April, till the 4th of May; which is as follows:
The French army, three times as numerous as the Spanish army, attacked Puigada, a town but at the entrance of Catalonia by the Pyrenees, situated between the rivers Coral and Segra, and capital of a small district under the name of the Earl-dom of Cerdagne, which they took, having been abandoned, with the loss of 3 men killed, and 600 made prisoners, by the small force of the Spaniards who withdrew to Urgel, a town on the banks of the Segra.
The French summoned the garrison of Urgel to surrender, and, upon the answer that the Spaniards would not surrender to them, the French attacked Urgel, and it having been evacuated by the Spaniards, the French took it with ease.
The views of the French being to draw a column of troops from Urgel to the sea coast, in order to cut off the retreat of the Spaniards from Ceret, Colibre, Portvendre, Bellagarde and other places of the Rosellon, in possession of the
Spanish troops.—When attacked by the French, falling from Perpignan, were soon discovered by count dela Union the commander in chief of the army, who immediately attacked the French with what few troops and country people he could collect, re-took Urgel, made the French retreat, crossing the river with more haste than they had passed it before, killed 400 of them, among whom was the General in Command, Doagbert, made some prisoners, destroyed the bridge, and lastly, the perfidious Spaniards, (a very modest title given them in the newspapers of a neutral nation) obliged the French to take quarters in the so much boasted trifling district of Catalonia, where they rested in peace the 4th of May, the latest accounts received from that army, while the Spaniards kept possession of the principal places of Bellagarde, Portvendre, Colibre, Ceret and other small villages in the Province of Rosellon.
So much for the fabricated French news.

The Printers of newspapers throughout the United States are requested to republish the above true intelligence, to liberate the citizens of America from imposition.
A gentleman stepped in last evening just as this paper was going to press, and informed, that the persons who parted from the brig Union, as mentioned in this gazette on Saturday last, had made Long Island the next day—the lady, (we are sorry to observe) having been drowned.
BALTIMORE, July 15.
Captain Pradford of the ship Venus, who arrived here yesterday from Amsterdam informs, that on Friday last he spoke the ship Bowman, Capt. Bell, who left London on the 26th of May, bound to Norfolk: Capt Bell informed him, that the Newfoundland English fleet, consisting of 70 odd sail, had, except one sloop that had arrived at Exeter, been captured by the French—that the Tower and all the Fortifications in England were garrisoned by foreign troops—and that the Duke of York had been defeated with the loss of one thousand men.
Yesterday arrived, in six weeks from Oporto and Figueria, in Portugal, the brig Atlanta, Capt. Hawley. On the 12th ultimo, in lat. 31, 30, long. 46, spoke the ship Liberty, of and from Philadelphia, Capt. William Caldwell, bound to India, out 27 days, all well. On the 25th of the same month, spoke the British sloop of war Fly, Captain Mobery, out 14 days from Port-au-Prince, bound to London, with dispatches. He requested Capt. Hawley to inform the Americans, that they might depend on a ready sale for all kinds of provisions, at Port-au-Prince, and would be protected by the British arms! On the 4th instant, in lat. 33, long. 64. spoke two ships from St. Croix, bound to Copenhagen, out 14 days, who informed him, that provisions were very scarce and dear at that place. On the 5th, in lat. 33, long. 65, spoke the schooner Betty, of and from Salem, Capt. Burchmore, bound to Point-Petre, Guadalupe out 10 days, all well.
Capt. Low of the ship George, arrived here yesterday in 49 days from Liverpool, informs, that a few days before he failed, the French fleet which failed some time since from the Chesapeake had safe arrived in France, with the loss of 2 or 3 sail which were missing, and no positive accounts given of them. Capt. Low further informs, that the French were every where successful—that two or three days previous to his sailing, news had reached England of the American embargo—that there were great apprehensions of an embargo being laid there, and that he, consequently hastened away with all possible speed.
St. JOHN'S (ANTIGUA,) June 23.
On Saturday last a vessel arrived from Guadalupe, by which we learn, that about 4 o'clock on Friday morning, a tremendous explosion of mortars and cannon were heard in Point a Petre quarters, Grand Terre, which continued without intermission until ten o'clock, when it ceased for about an hour, and then recommenced with equal violence, and lasted for about two hours longer—From this circumstance we concluded that Fleur d'Epee and the other posts of the French had been attacked from all quarters, by his Majesty's and sea forces, but by an arrival yesterday we learn that it was occasioned by two French Frigates having attacked the watering place, which was defended by two Gun Boats, and a detachment of his Majesty's troops. The Frigates were beat off, but not before they sunk one Gun Boat, which has since been got up. The British, consisting of 2,200 men exclusive of seamen, had gained the heights
above Fleur d'Epee, without the loss of a man; in this situation affairs stood in Grand Terre, on Friday last.
LONDON, May 17.
In consequence of the proceeding of the secret committee of the House of Commons, respecting certain seditious persons, Mr. Pitt moved yesterday in the House for leave to bring in a bill "to empower his Majesty to secure and detain such persons as his Majesty may suspect of conspiracy against his person and government—Leave was granted, and the bill was read a first and second time, committed, reported, and ordered to be read a third time this day."
Letters were yesterday received from Poland, which confirm the reports of a victory obtained by General Kosciusko over the Russians, between Cracow and Warsaw. The latter lost 4000 men, and 26 pieces of cannon. This affair was subsequent to and entirely distinct from the contest which restored the Polish authority in Warsaw.
The following is a list of the members of the House of Commons who were last night chosen of the secret committee.—The Right Hon. William Pitt, Henry Dundas, Charles Townsend, the Lord Advocate of Scotland, Thomas Powys, Loce Mulgrave, Sir John Scott, the Earl of Upper Ossory, Sir Richard Pepper Arden, Welbore Ellis, Edmund Burke, William Wyndham, Sir John Mitford, the Earl of Mornington, Thomas Grenville, Thomas Steele, John Anstruther, Robert Banks Jenkinson, Isaac Hawkins Brown, Thomas Stanley, and Sir Henry Houghton, five to be a quorum, with power to adjourn from time to time, and place to place, notwithstanding any adjournment of the House.
Mr. Bache, Will please to correct a mistake in the 8th toast given by the officers of the 2d regiment of Philadelphia, the toast as given, is as follows:
8th. The opposers of an American exorcise; may their opponents and measures become the contempt of freemen.
Those Printers who have published the toasts as given by the above regiment on the 4th July last, will please to give this insertion.

A New Novel.
To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, in marble paper, half a dollar, Charlotte, a Tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria , the In- quisitor, the Fille de Chambre , &c. Of Charlotte , the Reviewers have given the following character.
It may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real dis- tress. Charlotte , by the artifice of a teach- er, recommended to a school, from huma- nity rather than a conviction of her inte- grity, or the regularity of her former con- duct, is enticed from her governess, and ac- companies a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treach- ery of his friend. The situations are art- ful and affecting—the descriptions natu- ral and pathetic; we should feel for Char- lotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fic- tion, poetic justice is not, we think, pro- perly distributed.

THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing.
The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ma- ryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genessee Government, South Ca- rolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former system of Geography, and it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie.
N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map. May 31. d.

It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on
the advantage, to American readers, that
this edition possesses, over every imported
edition of any system of Geography extant.
The addition of maps of the several states,
procured a very great expense, and from
the best materials that are attainable,
speaks such full conviction on this subject,
that it would be disrespectful to the read- er's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.
The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are re- ferred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present oppor- tunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improv- ing the maps of several of the states. He
requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfect- ing his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gra- titude—sentiments which time will not ef- face. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deser- ving of their patronage. waft

ON Monday the first day of Septem- ber next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the
Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia will be sold by public vendue, two trac- ts or pieces of land situated in White Clay
Creek hundred, New Castle county and state of Delaware; one of which contains about
sixty acres of highly improved land, on it
are a large two story brick dwelling house, a
co-venient brick barn, with stable and a
carriage house underneath, an excellent
kiln for drying corn; and the well known
mills called Christiana Mills (late Pat- teron's) which being at the head of the tide
on Christiana river, and but about half a
mile from the landing, is conveniently situ- ated for carrying the articles manufactured
at the mills by water to Philadelphia—This
property being close to the road leading
from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at
the head of the tide, with many other at- tendant advantages, render its situation for
the milling business to very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none.
The latter tract containing 175 acres, is
about one mile from the mills and is chiefly
woodland, which being contiguous to
water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as
there is a quantity of large timber in said
tract suitable for the purposes of the mills.
The terms upon which the above men- tioned estates will be sold are—one thou- sand pounds to be paid on executing the
deeds, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionably for each part.
Indispitable titles will be made for the property, by
