Lachawannock. A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers only, on moderate terms, and at a long credit. 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, & in 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, to wards the most convenient markets. 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 one 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.

French Revolution. JUST PUBLISHED. (Price two Dollars.) By MATHEW CAREY, No. 118, Market Street, AN IMPARTIAL HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION; From its Commencement to the execution of the QUEEN and the DEPUTIES of the Gironde Party. Extracted 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 to that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly presented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colours. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tory nor republican—they love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered or disgraced. "In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that the pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall have dissipated the clouds of political deception, and appeased the tumult of the passions, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candour and moderation seldom fail to receive." Extract from the Critical Review, June 1794. 12 Page.
"We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusals of those volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in Events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind." M. CAREY will in about three weeks Publish, Plowden's history of the British Empire, from May 1792, to December 1793. 1286d.

MOORE'S JOURNAL.
Mr. RUSSELL,
The Journal of Dr. Moore, in France, during the most interesting period of the French revolution, has attained to much celebrity. Though the Doctor was not in favor of the conduct of some of the French leaders, and has condemned the unnecessary measures which frequently have been taken, his veracity never has been doubted; and his opinion of men and their motives, has been confirmed by posterior events. The following account is given by him of the two celebrated characters who now appear at the head of the ruling powers in France, Robespierre and Barrere.
ROBESPIERRE.
Is a native of Arras. This great luminary of the revolution not only renders Arras more conspicuous, but has thrown a ray of light on his brother who lived there in obscurity, but is now chosen a deputy to the Convention.
Robespierre is a man of small size, and a disagreeable countenance, which announces more fire than understanding, in his calmest moments he conceals with difficulty the hatred and malignity which is said to exist in his heart, and which his features are admirably formed to express. He distinguished himself in the constituent assembly by the violence of his speeches, and much more since in the Jacobin Society by the violence of his measures. His eloquence is employed in invectives against tyrants and aristocrats, and in declamation in praise of liberty. His speeches are barren in argument, but sometimes fertile in the flowers of fancy.
Robespierre is considered as an enthusiast rather than a hypocrite; some people think him both, which is not without example, but to me he seems to be too much of the first to be a great deal of the second.
He has always refused every office of emolument; his passion is popularity, not avarice; and he is allowed by even those who detest many parts of his character, and are his enemies, to be incorruptible by money.
In the Chronique de Paris of yesterday, (a paper conducted by Condorcet) is the following curious article, which I shall insert, because it shews M. Condorcet's idea of a man who has made so much noise in this country, particularly of late:
"It is sometimes asked, how it happens that such numbers of women are continually attending Robespierre, wherever he is, at his own house, at the galleries of the Jacobins, or of the Cordeliers, and of the Convention?
"It is because the French revolution is considered as a religion, of which Robespierre is the leader of a sect. He is a priest who has devotees. But it is evident all his power is en quenouille . Robespierre preaches — Robespierre censures — he is furious, grave, melancholic, affectedly exalted, followed in his opinions, and in his conduct he thundered against the rich and the great — he lives on little, is moderate in his natural appetites — his chief mission is to speak — but he speaks forever — he refuses those offices in which he might be of service to the people, and chooses those in which he expects to govern them. He appears where he can make a figure, and disappears when the scene is occupied by others — He has all the characteristics, not of the leader of a religion, but of the leader of a sect. He attempts to establish a reputation of austerity which points to lantern. He mounts on forms, and talks of God and Providence. He calls himself the friend of the poor and the weak. He makes himself be followed by women, and gravely accepts of their homage and admiration. He retires before danger, and nobody is so conspicuous when the danger is over. Robespierre is a porpoise, and never can be any thing more.
"One of the incidents of a week is the accusation of Robespierre, by a man of great understanding and talents (Louvet) but whose imagination is more extensive than either. The accuser and the accused have both been heard, and both have proved, that it is impossible to make a dictator of Robespierre."
BARRERE.
Barrere, deputy from the department of High Pyrenees, who was a member of the Constituent Assembly without being much distinguished, begins to be thought of more importance in the Convention. He has not hitherto taken a decided part with either party, but I am told is courted
The incidents related in the following extract are singular, and furnish matter for moral reflection and enquiry.
"I was present, says Dr. M. when Ruhl, whom I formerly mentioned, informed the Convention, that being in the commission for examining certain letters in the German language, which had been intercepted, he had found one from a corporal in the Prussian army to his wife in Silesia. In this letter he said there were many expressions of conjugal love and paternal affection, while in the same letter the French were painted in the blackest colours. "This poor corporal," continued Ruhl, "has had the perseverance and generosity to save two ducats out of his pay, which he inclosed in the letter to his wife, who, it appears, was then in child-bed. I desire to be authorized to transmit the money, with what addition I please, to this honest corporal's wife, with a letter assuring her that the French do not deserve all the ill names which her husband gives them."
"Ruhl is a man about seventy years of age; there is a great appearance of naivete in his manner. I happened to mention this story of the corporal to a Frenchman of my acquaintance: "Le conte est beau," said he, "et ne manque que la vraisemblance pour le rendre interessant."
"He had the letter in his hand," said I, "how can you doubt it?"
"If he had twenty letters," replied the Frenchman, "I must doubt it, because a Prussian corporal is generous in nothing but in coups de baton ; and it is not in the nature of a man who is distributing these from morning to night, to have tender affections of any kind. Such opposite and discordant qualities cannot inhabit the same breast."
"The incredulity of my French acquaintance I think unreasonable; and I will here insert an anecdote, although it is much more exposed to his criticism, because it comes from a quarter which leaves no doubt on my mind of its truth."
"Monsieur de Bertrand, chevalier de Malte, and brother to monsieur de Bertrand de Moleville, late minister of the marine, was arrested and confined in the prison of the Abbaye, soon after the 10th of August. This gentleman was brought at midnight on the third of September before the dreadful tribunal in that prison. He is a man of great coolness and firmness of mind, which was of infinite service to him in this emergency; for altho' the symptoms of fear ought not on such occasions to have been considered as a presumption of guilt, yet that construction was put on them by the judges, and, without any other presumption, they sometimes proved fatal to the prisoner."
"When Mr. Bertrand was questioned, he answered with an undisturbed voice and countenance, "that he had not the least idea of what he had been arrested for, that those who arrested him could not inform him, that nobody had informed him since, that he was convinced he had been taken up by mistake."
"Struck with the cool and undaunted manner in which he addressed them, and having no particular accusation nor proof of any kind against him, the judges ordered him to be released."
"Two men covered with blood, who had been employed in killing the prisoners, and attended in the expectation of the signal for dispatching Mr. Bertrand, seemed surprised but not displeased at the unusual order. They conducted him through the court of the Abbaye, and on the way asked if he had any relation to whose house he wished to go."
"He answered, he had a sister-in-law to whom he intended to go directly."
"How very much surprised and delighted must she be to see you!" said they.
"I am persuaded she will," replied Mr. Bertrand.
"One of the men then asked the other if he should not be glad to be present at this meeting; to which he eagerly said he should: And both declared they had a curiosity to be witnesses to the joyful meeting between Mr. Bertrand and his sister-in-law."
"The gentleman was astonished and embarrassed: He represented that his relation being a delicate woman, their appearance might very much alarm her, particularly at such an unseasonable hour that he could not think of giving them such unnecessary trouble: and added whatever he thought would divert them from so unexpected a proposal."
"They urged that they would wait in the parlor until he had advertised the lady of their being in the house, to prevent her being alarmed: That so far from being a trouble, it would give them great pleasure to accompany him:
"The tale is agreeable, and only need probability to make it interesting."
That they wished to have a relaxation from the work in which they had been so long employed, and they hoped he would not deny them the satisfaction of seeing the meeting between him and his friends.
"Mr. Bertrand did not think it prudent to refuse such petitioners any longer he therefore assented; they accompanied him to the house. He sent the servant, who opened the door at the sound of the voice, to advertise the lady that he was arrived, and well. He afterwards went himself and informed her of the strange fancy of the two men, who waited in another room. The lady had arisen and dressed herself hastily on her hearing of his arrival: Every body in the family had done the same, and had flocked around him with expressions of joy. The two men were admitted, and were witnesses to the happiness that all manifested: they seemed much gratified and affected at the sight; it formed the strongest contrast with those they had so lately seen. Mr. Bertrand offered them money, which they would on no account accept, declaring that they were already paid for accompanying him in the only way they desired. After remaining a considerable time, they took their leave, wishing the lady all happiness, and thanking Mr. Bertrand for allowing them the pleasure of being witnesses to so pleasing a meeting."
"No body can be more aware than I am of the inconsistency, which from this narrative appears in the dispositions of the same individuals. That two men so unfeeling as to be actively engaged in the remorseless scenes at the prison should have the sensibility to wish to be witnesses of the meeting between Mr. Bertrand and his friends, and behave on the whole as these two men did, is what no person, who has studied the usual analogies and combinations of the human dispositions, would have expected. The first turn of mind seems incompatible with the second: I know no theory by which they can be reconciled; I attempt no explanation; I repeat the facts as I have them from authority to which I cannot refuse my belief, and because they form a new instance of the astonishing variety, and even opposition of character to be found in that wonderful creature, Man."

NEWBURYPORT, July 19
On Tuesday last Capt. Nathan Poor arrived here from Martinico, in 21 days — he informs that the French took possession of Grandterre, Guadalupe, on the 4th of June. The English fleet, consisting of the Vengeance of 80 guns two 74's, one of 40, and a sloop of war, passed Fort Royal the 8th June, to attack Point Petre. Capt. P. was not permitted to take any produce from the island, owing as Admiral Jervis informed him, to the following circumstance. The Aristocrats, in order to regain the property they had left in the islands, petitioned the court of Britain to send out a fleet to take possession of them, offering to defray the expence, which amounted to 520,000 livres, to be proportioned as follows: — Martinico, 220,000, Guadalupe, 200,000, and St. Lucia, 100,000. The commissioners appointed to collect the same were seizing upon all the property they could, without discrimination. Capt. P. informs that Admiral Jervis had not 400 well men in the fleet, when he left Martinique.
The following is extracted from the Log Book of the brig Mary, Captain Moulton, arrived here on Wednesday last, in 55 days from Ostend. — June 2, lat. 48, 07, at 4 o'clock, A. M. saw a fleet of 27 sail, standing to the Eastward. They had four of the fleet in tow, dismasted. At 10, A. M. saw 32 sail standing to the westward, which is supposed to be the French fleet from the Chesapeake, and the English fleet from Portsmouth which failed in pursuit of them. — From which we conclude they must have had an engagement previous to the above date.

Rochester, July 5th 1794.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the American Independence, was celebrated by a respectable number of gentlemen in this town. The day was ushered in by firing of a cannon, and hoisting the flag of the United States. At half past twelve a lengthy procession moved from Major S. Perkins, to the meeting house,
under a military escort, where a pertinent and elegant oration was delivered by Joseph Clark Esq. preceded and followed by music. After which the procession returned to Major Perkins where a number of gentlemen with the officers of Major Fuber's battalion partook of an elegant dinner, at which the following Toasts were drank under a discharge of cannon.
 1. The United States of America — may they long continue the brightest constellation in the political hemisphere.  2. Washington — the patriot warrior — the virtuous statesman — may he long continue Columbia's pride and boast.  3. The day we celebrate; may its blessings be handed down uncontaminated to the latest posterity.  4. The state of Newhampshire; may her citizens be distinguished for industry, frugality and love of freedom.  5. Our countrymen in slavery at Algiers; may they soon be restored to the embraces of their anxious friends.  6. The Indian tribes; may the great spirit soften their ferocious minds, and to dispose them to a sacred observance of treaties.  7. The French nation; may they be as successful in establishing a free government as they have been in destroying tyranny and repelling the attacks of combined despots.  8. The Marquis de la Fayette, may he soon be liberated from the darksome dungeon of despotism and restored to life, liberty and happiness.  9. Commerce; may the American flag be seen flying and respected among all commercial Nations.  10. The arts and sciences; may they be exercised for the establishment of of the freedom and happiness of man.  11. The Heroes, who have fought bled or fallen in the glorious cause of freedom; may their memory be embalmed in the breasts of America's sons.  12. The Vice President; may his Patriotic exertions in the cause of liberty never be forgotten by Americans.  13. The Poles, may they be freed from the Russian and Prussian yoke, and enjoy in peace the rights of mankind.  14. Thomas Paine  15. All mankind, may the time soon arrive when vice shall be extirpated, and virtue and happiness triumphant throughout the world. 
PHILADELPHIA,
JULY 26.
SAYS A CORRESPONDENT.
There are many doctrines advanced at the present day which are pregnant with all the miseries that a people can suffer from a state of disorganization, and lawless liberty. One is that "the people have all power in their hands" — whenever this assertion is made with reference to the people in distinct on from, or opposition to their government — it is a solecism, unless it means that two powers can exist at the same time. The only correct republican idea is, that all power is inherent in the people. The government is the creature of this power; the administrators the organs of the public will — So long therefore as the government exists, the power of the people is delegated; and the moment that power is resumed by the people, the government is extinct. To say that "the people have all power in their hands, but this is not the power of the bayonet or of the sword" is to say that the whole, is not equal to all its parts.
That an excise was odious in some parts of the Union is true — but it will be found equally true, that it is odious in those parts only, where every species of taxation is odious.
That the Government of the United States has attempted to enforce any of its laws by rigorous means, in any part of the Union, would puzzle the most inveterate of its enemies to prove: there is perhaps no better way of accounting for the late outrageous opposition to the excise in a particular part of the wilderness, than from the lenity, patience, forbearance, and long-suffering of the Government with some daring offenders, who are puffed up with the doctrine that all power is in their hands. Surely said they, the day of reckoning can never come.
Translated from the Courier Francois of this morning.
Some passengers arrived here yesterday from Martinique, which place they left the 4th inst. report, that notwithstanding all the precautions taken by the English to hide what passes at Guadalupe, they learnt that the French had fifteen hundred troops of the line and two hundred cannoniers at Point a Petre. That the English had sent a times sent to Martinique for relief; that their forts were almost totally unmounted; that the English, having established a battery of three mortars on a hill, from whence they bombarded Point a Petre, the French, after two unsuccessful attacks, carried it the third time by assault, without any other arms than swords, surprising the English while asleep, at about 2 o'clock in the morning, killed all they found, and

threw the mortars down the hill, and thus have made themselves masters of Point a Petre.
Four days before the departure of the passengers, a vessel arrived at Martinique with six hundred wounded, nearly the whole in the back. Two frigates, which they met in coming out of Fort Royal, carried almost as many to St. Pierre.
The following gentlemen have been appointed, under the war department, agents for the building of the six frigates.
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, John Langdon. Boston, Henry Jackson, New-York, John Blagge, Philadelphia, Gurney & Smith, Baltimore, Jeremiah Yellott, Norfolk, William Pennock.
Extract of an authentic letter from Pittsburgh, dated the 18th July instant.
"Major Lenox, the marshal of the federal court, in company with General Neville, served some processes on persons in this county, on Tuesday last: On the day following, at daylight, 100 men attacked General Neville's house, in which there was only the General and another man, with the family. The General defended himself for an hour and better against them; he wounded one of the party mortally, and three others badly. No person in the house received any damage. On his application to Major Butler, he sent out twenty of the federal troops of this garrison to protect him. Yesterday another party of five hundred men from the upper part of this county, and Washington, collected together, and about 6 o'clock in the afternoon made a second attack on General Neville's house. Luckily, the General made his escape a few minutes before they surrounded the house. Previous to the attack, they sent in a flag to inform General Neville, that if he would resign his commission, and give up his papers, they would not injure him. Major Kirkpatrick, who remained in the house with his sister-in-law Mrs. Neville, informed them that the General was not in the house; but this they would not believe, and after permitting Mrs. Neville and the females of the family to retire, they commenced an attack on the house, which was returned from the soldiers in the house, when four of the rioters were killed, and a number wounded, and three of the soldiers in the house wounded. The party in the house then gave up; and the rioters burned the dwelling-house, barns, and all out-houses, and every thing in them. Among those killed was a Captain James McFarland, formerly an officer in the Pennsylvania line. Time will not permit me to give you a more particular detail of this unhappy business. General Neville has transmitted to the Executive of the United States a full account. I am sorry to find this unhappy disposition prevail too generally in our country, and God only knows where it will end."
"This moment an express arrived here from the commanding officer at Fort Franklin, to Major Butler at this place, inclosing a copy of a speech from Cornplanter to General Chapin, to be delivered by him to General Washington, the purport of which is, that, unless the lands which they had formerly pointed out on the map, were given up, they would be obliged to take them. The commanding officer, in his letter, mentions, that the Cornplanter's nephew, who had brought the speech, had convened the Indians at Fort Franklin, in an open field; that they held a council, the purport of which he could not learn. But he thinks from the visible change in the behaviour of the Indians, it was hostile, as they have all withdrawn. He expects every moment, when hostilities will be commenced by them."
Huntingdon, July 5, 1794.
SIR, I HAVE the pleasure of informing you, that by the assistance of a few men, whom I employed as spies to range beyond the frontier of this county, I have discovered, that the reports which occasioned the uneasiness, stated in my letter of 23d ult. were entirely unfounded; and there is great reason to believe, that some bad men spread the alarm for their own amusement.
The spies could not discover any trails of Indians, or any places of encampment, as was reported to be seen, other than the encampments of surveyors and hucksters.
I have just returned from the settlements which were deserted by the inhabitants during the alarm, and with great satisfaction I have to inform your Excellency, that the inhabitants are returning to their several places of abode with the greatest quietude.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Excellency's
Most obedient servant, JOHN CADWALLADER. His Excellency Thomas Mifflin, Governor of Pennsylvania.
Capt. Mease of the Brig Berley in 16 days from Martinico, informs, that the attempts of the English on the Fort which protects the town of Point Petre, Guadalupe, have been fruitless; that he saw 150 wounded landed from the Roe-buck at Martinique from an expedition against that Fort, that the killed were numerous, and finally that the British land forces were now too weak to attempt the retaking of Guadalupe, for which fresh troops would be necessary. Numbers of the speculators who purchased property at the British sales had joined the British forces to protect or retake it, and many of these had also been killed or wounded. Admiral Jervis was riding at anchor off the port, which he cannot enter until land forces first obtain possession of the Fort. Arnold had, as we on a former occasion communicated, been made prisoner at Guadalupe and was actually confined, but found means to escape, and by means of a raft, made of a few boards drifted to the fleet. Gen Adv.
We in our last communicated the substance of the disagreeable intelligence of a riot near Pittsburgh. The extracts of letters contain all the authentic particulars we have been able to collect.
This intelligence is of the most disagreeable nature, as the disturbance originates in an opposition, apparently determined, to the execution of a law which has received every constitutional sanction, than which no excels is more hostile to liberty and good government. It is to be lamented that freemen should so far lose sight of their duty, as by force of arms thus to infringe on the rights of their fellow-citizens, by counteracting the will of a majority; such conduct leads to the dissolution of all government. If a law is obnoxious to any part of the country, let the citizens there petition for its repeal, expose its defects, or injustice, through the medium of the press; let them change their representation, put into their legitimate men whom they know will be active to procure its repeal. If this is ineffectual, they should rest satisfied, that other parts of the nation do not view the law in the same light, that a majority of their fellow-citizens conceive it necessary or proper, and it becomes their duty to bear its burdens, not however without continuing their remonstrances and legal endeavours to have it removed. They have another remedy: If they conceive the constitution so framed as to prevent their sentiments from being fairly represented in the public councils let them endeavour to have it amended. But if every portion of the republic rises in arms to prevent the execution of laws obnoxious to them we revert to a state of anarchy and barbarism, forfeit every advantage of organized society or kindle a civil war. In this country we have fortunately no yoke to shake off; we have neither a king's power to fear, nor the oppression of an hereditary aristocracy; we have a government of our own choice, as perfect as it could be framed at the time of its formation, as it was to be suited to a variety of local interests; the defects in that government we have a constitutional mode of reforming; If we have abuses in our administration, those abuses can be removed, for the people have all power in their hands; but this is not the power of the bayonet or of the sword (this ought to be reserved for external foes); it is the right of regulating their internal concerns by the voice of a majority, this is the standard which in republican governments we must abide by. Some blame, however, may with justice be laid to the charge of government in this business. An excise was odious in many parts of the Union, and the executive should have endeavoured to have conciliated the minds of the people to its execution, and not attempted to enforce it by rigorous means; we hope, this plan will in future be pursued, as severe measures can but irritate. We fear that the suspension of the Presqu'ile establishment may also have been a means of alienating the minds of our western brethren from the general government, as in that instance, with good intentions, however, no doubt, a favourite means of protection for the frontier of this state, has been suspended in its execution. Gen. Adv.

THE COMFORTS of MARRIAGE. A TALE.
WHEN Cinna earned but twenty pounds a-year, No dunning tradesman Cinna had to fear. In debt to nobody, his heart was gay, He look'd no farther than the current day; His income just allowed a decent coat, An alehouse ramble cost him but a groat. From him no barber had long bills to seek, He clear'd with every claimant once a-week. At night he drank small beer, and smok'd or read, And sips as sober as a nun to bed. He shunn'd the sex. His fortieth year began, Before he dar'd to feel the pleasures of a man. Nay, when December chill'd the world with frost, That month, when monks and maidens murmur most, When the cold sheets were freezing to his skin, Like Ruth, no laundress at his heels crept in: His blabbing tongue no pious aunt could fear, On him no bawd bestowed her wanton leer. At him, no cuckold bent the budding horn, Wenching, in every shape, he held in scorn. Surprising fact! in such a rampant age, So pure a faint deserves a brighter page. But love of change still haunts the human breast, Thus Indolence itself grows tir'd of rest. The fox has now and then a sober fit, Misers, by turns, extravagance admit. The veteran may shake with childish fear, And surgeons have been seen to shed a tear: By turns the foolish follow wisdom's rules, By turns, the wise behave themselves like fools. Tho' fortune rushes in her richest tide, We sigh for some enjoyment yet untried; In search of novelty our fancies tire, Gaze at the moon, and tumble in the mire. And thus the hero of the present song, Having so long gone right, at last went wrong. His wages trebling, Cinna took a wife, That precious balm for the wounds of life; But care was quickly painted on his brow, He found himself in debt he knew not how; Such heavy, daily, damnable demands, A guinea never halted in his hands. His salary was rais'd to twelve score pounds, And this, you say, magnificently founds; And swear the man must very soon be rich, Unless his spouse feels the true spendthrift itch. With nine pert puppies yelping at his tail, To talk of saving makes his patience fail. Maids, midwives, milleners, and heav'n knows what, Keep Cinna bearer than a tar's old hat. On parish rates, tithes, laces, lodging-rent, Tea, china, claret, half his funds are spent; Thrice nine-and-thirty cousins have implored That help, his purse, they cry'd can well afford. His precious rib has ventur'd to declare, "Tis vulgar on one's legs to take the air." In vain poor Cinna vows himself behold, Plays, balls, and fiddlers fill my Lady's mind; And, as no man of sense expects to see Two females, two whole hours at once agree, Ten times a-day his spouse and servants brawl, His dear descendants every second squall? His bed, his shirt, they steep in midnight steams, Small-pox and measles, haunt his mournful dreams. Each day commences with a cloud of bills, For taylors, nurses, spelling-books, and pills; To-night more cradles must be bo't or borrow, And a twelfth sexton's fee pay down to-morrow. And tho' ye rakes, may think he should rejoice, When rid of so much trouble, cost, and noise;
What agonies convulse a father's breast, While innocence is writhing into rest? Thus, to his fatal cost, hath Cinna found, That Wedlock's holy joys are just a found? That peace will end, where happiness begins, And wives are the grand scourge of human fins.

NEW-YORK, July 25.
A passenger in the ship Columbus, 53 days from Cadiz, informs, that on the 14th May, a Spanish fleet of 13 ships of the line and 6 frigates, sailed from Cadiz, supposed to intercept the French convoy from the Chesapeake; a thousand men were impressed in one night to man this fleet. He informs also that the Spaniards have a perfect knowledge of the shipments on board of the Chesapeake fleet, even to the number of barrels of flour. He saw and conversed with Capt. Burnham, who was redeemed and lately released from Algiers, who informs that our prisoners are treated at Algiers with great cruelty. Captain Burnham was indebted for his release to the mediation of the Commander of a Dutch man of war; without whose mediation 4000 dollars would not have been accepted for his redemption. The crops in Spain are abundant.

Arrived the 22d instant, the ship Columbus, Capt. Towers, from Cadiz, in 53 days passage. Passengers on board, Amos Oakman and Nathaniel Jones, both masters of vessels belonging to Massachusetts, and lately bound to the island of St. Thomas's, were taken by the Spanish frigate the Santa Catalina, and sent into Cadiz, where the said masters and crews were detained prisoners for the space of 7 weeks, during which time they were most cruelly treated, plundered of their property, and otherwise inhumanely abused by the officers and seamen; brought to the gang way, and themselves on a short allowance of unwholesome provisions, deprived of their state-rooms and cabins, as likewise the use of pen, ink, and paper, so that it was out of their power to make known their situation to their friends on shore. After having obtained their liberty, they applied to the Captain General of the marine department, but to no purpose; in consequence of which they were to go to Madrid, and there make known the ill treatment received at the hands of the captors, their losses, imprisonment, and long detention, &c. but the only answer they could obtain from the court of Madrid was, that all his Catholic Majesty's ships had orders to bring into port all American vessels, bound to or from France, and were looked on as lawful prizes.

DEAR SIR,
Your much esteemed favor of the 10th current, I duly received, and am sorry to learn that you intend going passenger on board the American ship Columbus, bound to New-York.
We have just received intelligence here from Algiers, that their cruisers failed the first of April, consisting of seven vessels, one ship of 44 guns, three Xebecs of 32, two of 28 guns, one brig of 16, and a Polacre mounting the same; we are in hopes they will not attempt to get out of the Streights, but God only knows, as their force somewhat exceeds that of the Portuguese. I remain, in wishing you a happy and agreeable passage, dear Sir,
Your most humble servant, (Signed) JAMIR TOLEDANO.
Arrived in Cadiz the 24th May from Algiers, Capt. Burnham, late of New-York, having obtained his ransom for the sum of 4000 Spanish milled dollars; said gentleman confirming the contents of the within letter, that the Algerine fleet absolutely failed the first of April on a cruise.
MARTINSBURGH July 21.
By a traveller who passed through this town on Saturday morning, and who left the Crab-Orchard the 1st inst. we were informed, that Gen. Scott had completed his body of 2000 volunteer horsemen in Kentucky, before he left it, and that they were to set out on the 10th to join Gen. Wayne at Greenville.
There had been no recent action with the Indians as has been currently reported here for some days past.
NEWBERN, July 12.
The legislature of this state, in pursuance of the Governor's proclamation, met at the palace in this town on Monday last. Both houses were formed in the morning, and proceeded to business. The speech of the Governor was read on Tuesday. His Excellency calls the attention of the Legislature to the act of Congress respecting the militia—to the necessity of putting the state in a posture of defence, by providing arsenals, &c.—to the propriety of granting money towards the completion of the batteries of Beacon Island and Fort Johnston—and finally to the expediency of filling up the seat vacated on the Bench of the Superior Court, by Judge Spencer's death.
These several matters were committed, and nothing is as yet finally determined.—A resolve to ballot for a judge passed the House of Commons on Thursday last, but was negatived in the Senate.
The honorable Peter Dauge has been elected by the General Assembly, Brigadier-General of the district of Edenton; and the honorable Hardy Griffin, Brigadier-General of Halifax district.
ON SALARIES. AN EXTRACT.
That the salaries of the officers of our government are too high, has been a theme of perpetual censure, from the first establishment of the constitution; and yet Congress have been obliged repeatedly to make additions to many of them, to prevent the resignations of some of their best officers.
The proper rule to be observed in granting salaries, seems to be this—"the salaries should be so high as to command the services of those citizens who are best qualified to fill the offices." It is certain, notwithstanding all the clamor about the wages of Congress, that many gentlemen whom the people have elected as their best men have declined taking their seats, because they could make more money at home in private business. They do not deem the wages of a member of Congress during a few months session, an equivalent for the loss of business to be incurred by absence.
It is a fact equally well known, that many of the first officers of our government can barely maintain their families upon their salary, even with rigid economy. I throw out of question, all profusion in expenses, which government should never countenance.
The truth seems to be, that public salaries should equal the private income of men of the same private merit and standing in life. To place them below the ordinary income of respectable merchants, lawyers and farmers, among whom the officers of government have associated in private life, would render the offices contemptible—respectable men could not be found to fill them—and the public would lose by such false economy. Now it is well known that, in all the large towns in America, men of the same walks in life, as the members of Congress, and the higher officers of government must, with ordinary economy, expend a sum of money, equal to the salaries annexed to most of the important offices of our national government.

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 reader'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 referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.  The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving 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 perfecting his undertaking.  The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. 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, deserving of their patronage. walf  PETER BLIGHT.

ON Monday the first day of September next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia will be sold by public vendue, two tract 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 area large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with stabling and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Patterson's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently situated 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 attendant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business so very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none.  The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills.  The terms upon which the above mentioned estates will be sold are—one thousand 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.

Just Published, In one handsome volume, 12mo. Price 5s AND FOR SALE BY JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Cheswold Street, AN ESSAY ON THE Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights, that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes.  To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht.  Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO. The First American Edition.  THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

FOR SALE, BY MATHEW CAREY, No. 118 Market-Street, An Essay on Slavery, Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of free men to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.

THE office of the President and Directors of the INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, is removed to No. 107, South Front Street, being the south east corner of Front and Walnut Streets.
The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following MARKS.  Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.  ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the i inclining much more forward than the f. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.  ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the O being less than the M, and on others following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the T and the y going below them. The signature I. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing bills and the cashier's signature. It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting, and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794. April 22, 1794.  Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.  The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.  They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossy surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view. The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the respective Boards.
