UNITED STATES. NEW-YORK, April 3. CAUTION. From accounts brought by vessels which arrive from the West Indies, it appears that that dreadful disease the Yellow Fever still rages in many of the Islands. As the season is now advancing which gives to infectious distempers a tenfold virulence, every precaution should be used to guard against their introduction from abroad, and to prevent their originating here. We hope therefore that those whom the laws have entrusted with the care of watching over the health of the citizens, will in this hour of danger, use double diligence in the discharge of that sacred duty. Our magistrates also will, we trust, with their wonted zeal for the public good, take immediate measures for establishing a system of cleanliness in the city; and essentially contribute to attain the object desired. MANY CITIZENS.
Yesterday arrived the Sloop Sally of this port in 54 days, from Port au Pair, in Hispaniola, Seth Braly, master—having experienced extreme hard weather and heavy gales of wind on her passage, from the 26th Feb. to 29 of March—during which time the on the 13th March in lat. 37, 46, and long. 69, 30; fell in with the brig Minerva of Portugal, Joseph A. Castro, master, bound from Baltimore to Lisbon in a distressed situation, having lost all her bowsprit, masts, spars and yards of every kind, except the stump of her main mast, together with all the sails and rigging thereunto belonging, from which Capt. Braly took the master, mate, and eight distressed men who must have perished had they not found seasonable relief, as the brig appeared in a sinking situation, by having her pumps choked with corn, which was her lading, and brought them safe to this port—On the 14th March fell in with a Schooner at A. M. lying to in a heavy gale of wind, in lat. 24, 40, and long. 72, 30, begging for assistance the wind and sea being so tremendous, could not learn his situation—The master declared himself in a sinking condition, and said he could not free his vessel with both pumps and begged Capt. Braly to lay by him till he could give him relief, which he promised, but the wind and sea continuing so violent during which time he lay along with the Schooner, which was ten hours, and no appearance of an abatement, that that the Schooner put away (or land it was supposed, and Capt. Braly saw no more of her—the wind being S. S. W. while in sight—she manned both pumps, which were worked incessantly, and it was supposed they could have saved themselves, by running for shore—The vessel appeared about 70 tons burthen, a Pea porridge bottom & red tides, carried a fore topsail, which was aloft, and her jib loose hanging in the water, which appeared new. Captain Bunker of the ship Peggy, from Fyall for New-York, spoke the ship Cygnet, Captain Johnson from this port four days out—the proves to be very leaky—Capt. Johnson thinks to keep on and try if he can make the passage. Spoke the brig Patty, Jones, from New-York, 3 days out, bound for Tobago, all well—The brig Bayone, Greenfield, failed from Fyall one month before Captain Bunker for New-York.
LONDON, January 27. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, JAN. 26. MR. GREY'S MOTION FOR A NEGOCIATION FOR PEACE. (Concluded from our last.)
MR. Thornton expressed his intention to vote for the motion. Mr. Montagu commented upon Mr. Wilberforce's argument that the amendment was not sufficiently explicit, and thought the motion dictated to Government. He believed we were not in a situation to take away our discretion, and was going to give his reasons, when the fog, which was in the House, caused a violent coughing, and interrupted him. Mr. Fox on rising, proposed that the motion, and then that the amendment should be read. He said he preferred the original motion, because it would bring the matter to a final and determined conclusion. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Grey), who had proposed this motion, acted he said with more generosity and honour than caution and prudence, when he gave three weeks previous notice, and when he stated previously with accuracy the matter at issue between the Right Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Pitt, and him. In order to obtain a clear and distinct idea of the matter at issue between the Right Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Pitt, and him (Mr. Grey), his Hon. Friend, laid the motion of this day upon the table, and on a view of it, it was agreed upon. On this they joined issue: but the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt), from what causes he will not pretend to divine, it seems, has since changed his mind; perhaps the bad and gloomy state of affairs at home and abroad, has led the Right Hon. Gentleman to bring forward this an amendment, as an evasive

and a subterfuge for a conduct, which he dares not openly avow, else why has he struggled to put a negative upon the motion. In the amendment the Hon. Gentleman has proposed, he discovers however, a very material change of sentiment respecting the propriety of Peace, and the necessity of no longer precluding the Government of this country from treating with the Republic of France. How much more manly and dignified would the conduct of the Hon. Gentleman have been, had he frankly and unequivocally declared those sentiments in a plain and direct manner, and not through the medium of an amendment, thrown in for the purpose of delaying and the motion of his Hon. Friend. This amendment, with which Mr. Fox said, he was by no means satisfied, from the dawning prospect it held out to this harassed and almost exhausted country, of the blessings of returning peace the Right Hon. Gentleman Mr. Pitt, had even attempted to explain away. He said he wished to consider him as a man of great and splendid talents, but unhappily by habit they were turned to the petty wiles, and the shuffling evasions of a mean and vulgar practice. They were rendered even from habitual perplexity and confusion, insufficient to guide him through the ordinary pursuits of business—ever a ready sacrifice for the acquisition of a few votes or to evade the inconvenience or prayer of a Petition.
Mr. Fox expressing his approbation to a certain degree on the amendment, inasmuch as it tended to remove those obstacles that stood in the way of negotiating a peace, could not but remark upon the rashness and inconsistency of Ministers with respect to their alliances. Here was a complete end, at one sweep to all the engagements of honor which we entered upon with foreign Courts; by which we were bound not to make peace but in concert with their plans of arrangements with respect to France; and he little thought, when, two years ago, he was moving an amendment to the address to his Majesty, and which he uniformly since supported in a small minority, that that amendment would be in substance what his Majesty's Ministers would one day be compelled to bring forward and avow. His friends were then represented as the advocates of France, or rather misrepresented; for, under this misrepresentation, they long sustained, by the mean and contemptible arts (arts he would hardly call them, but he had not time to think of a more proper and reproachful term), of unfair and uncaudal insinuations. An Honorable Gentleman (Mr. Powys) he said, had stated that amendment which he (Mr. Fox) had moved to the address on a former occasion, and the Right Hon. Gentleman's friends, though they seemed to vary a little in their arrangements of Peace, still seemed to be all of one mind upon the substance of the proposition for peace, which he had brought forward on that day, the Right Hon. Gentleman has felt, and now feels the effects of his Majesty's speech; he would be understood to mean that the speech which the Minister had advised, his Majesty to make; that wicked, detestable, and diabolical speech, which had spread its evils abroad and hindered Europe from the blessings of Peace. But it was the masterpiece of the day; it is detected and published to the world. In this crisis, what then does the Hon. Gentleman mean? Does he mean to negative the motion of his right hon. friend? For so much has he (Mr. Fox) mistaken the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) that he does not now attempt to understand him at all.
Mr. Fox then commenting on the amendment of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) said, it was of such a nature to give disgrace enough to his friends, and to them little or no hopes of peace.
Mr. Fox here paid every handsome compliment to the eloquence and perspicuity of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Grey), and said, that the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) had not refuted one single argument. Mr. Pitt had this evening, displayed much novelty in action & gesture, but little argument or in sound sense. The Right Gentleman's politics were unfortunate, indeed, they could for long exist in the decay of the finances of France, and yet could give no one proof of the truth of such exultations. Indeed it is the old, the trite, and hackneyed topics of the American war, for so such he would refer on this occasion. We were told of the low state of the American finances, of the want of discipline, and of support in their troops, and yet we found their resources and their supplies more than a match for us. We are told of Loyalists in France, of their detestation of their Government, of their readiness to overthrow the usurpation of that Government; and yet when a British force approaches them, they fly and hide their heads, and disappear. The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) has attributed much to the British and German arms; and those too he admir-
ed, but he had to say, he was astonished when he heard the Right Hon. Gentleman assign the Revolutions of the 31st of May 1793, of the fall of Robespierre, of the 10th September to German arms. If slights, if the surrender of towns could operate Revolutions, we certainly were the cause. But the contrary was the fact. The French, while oppressed by the common enemy, submitted to the severest tyranny of their own rulers: they were united until they drove the enemy from off their borders, and they effected to rid themselves of their oppressors and usurpers. There was a Revolution when Dumourier had fled, and another in the just punishment of the tyrant Robespierre, after the battle of Fleurus when the Duke of York had retreated and come away. If we have not been able, under all attempts, to effect a Revolution before now, what hopes are left when we are driven to a defensive war? The idea of marching to Paris, is no longer mentioned, but as a romance! We have tried in every quarter! On the North, with our Austrian Allies—On the East by Alsace, on the South by Lyons, and on the West by our la expedition, and to use the expression of a noble Lord in the American war, we could no where accommodate ourselves. He must conclusively, he said, observe, that however internal dissensions may prevail in France, this one fact was established—that at the approach of a foreign army from abroad, there was ever peace at home; and that the French would solely submit to the most frightful tyranny in their own country sooner than admit an invader from without.
Mr. Fox then dwelt upon the great and difficult advantages the British nation would derive from opening in a manly, honorable & firm temper, a negotiation for peace. He hoped it would not be delayed too long, and remarked, that it was through delays that the Dutch were ultimately compelled to sue for peace, when all was lost. The enemy was at their gates, the government put to flight, and the whole of the Provinces became a conquest. Their fate should be a warning to us, and we should prevent and repel before the enemy are at our gates.
Mr. Fox entered rather diffidently into the politics of the Dutch, and the House of Austria, and concluded by giving his approbation to the motion.  Mr. Dundas said, that as he conceived such a motion might do much mischief, and assuredly no good, he thought it his duty not to let it go on, without marking the impolicy of such a proposition. If the house were inclined to negotiate a peace, such a motion may be introduced, but in the situation in which we are now, and we cannot be in a worse for such a proposition, he thought it highly impolitic. He would concur in the amendment because in his conscience, he thought it better calculated to promote the good of the country, which while it was possessed of fleets and armies, would never be afraid from an enemy from abroad. France he said, was now flushed with victory, and full of insolence from success. What risk of honour then must we run were we to open overtures of peace, and at a time when they are possessed of Holland? Do gentlemen suppose that Holland is to be left in their hands, or would any man in that house dare to suggest such a concession. He considered the proposition of the hon. gentleman (Mr. Grey) as a snare for his right hon. friend (Mr. Pitt) had it been negatived, it would be foundy through every village, town and country; friend was an enemy to peace; whereas the truth was, that the amendment contained all that was just and politic in the motion and omitted all that was impolitic and malignant. What terms would not the French impose, if they had learned that peace, under parliamentary sanction, had been sued for? Would not Holland pass into their hands?
The amendment prevents misrepresentation, and gives the fair and just system which this country, in its dearest and best interests finds expedient to establish and pursue. The lateness of the hour, the right hon. Secretary said, prevented his going farther into the consideration of the question, on which he had much more to remark. He therefore would not detain the attention of the house, but vote decidedly for the amendment.
Mr. Fox explained. Mr. H. Cox voted for the motion. Mr. S. Cox voted for the amendment. Mr. Grey complained of misrepresentation and noticed those parts of his speech which he said had been misrepresented. Mr. Windham repelled an imputation which said, that he had declared never to make peace with the government of France, but under a monarchical form.
The house now called for the question was then put on Mr. Wilberforce's amendment, on which the house divided—
  For the amendment  269    Against it.  86    Majority against Mr. Grey's motion  183  
The question was then put on Mr. Wilberforce's amendment, on which the house divided—    For the amendment  90    Against it  254    Majority against it  164  
After the division strangers were excluded from the gallery, but we learn that Mr. Sheridan moved an amendment similar in substance to that of Mr. Wilberforce's, but after some short, but very warm debate, the house adjourned at four o'clock this morning.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
January 10. Report of Dubois de Crance on the situation of our armies.
You maintained last year near eleven hundred thousand fighting men. France stood armed on one side, Europe on the other and victory followed constantly by the tri-coloured standard. But if last year our Southern battalions, levied in a hurry and dispersed from the ocean to the Mediterranean sea have been able to check the Spanish forces, tho' treason had already given up our strong holds on their frontiers, what is not to be expected of those troops now re-united, disciplined, inured to all the hardships of war, and familiar with all the duties of a soldier? they command already to Biscay and distribute orders in the heart of Catalonia.
The army of Italy had Lyons to reduce, Toulon to retake, and repulsed besides the superior forces of Austria and Piedmont.
A few bands of robbers bribed by England infest still the West but the general amnesty will soon enable us to direct three numerous and well disciplined armies against haughty Albion the atrocious perfidies of which have raised the avenging arm of the Republic against it. Holland is conquered and England trembles.
Twenty-three regular sieges terminated, six pitched battles gained, 2000 cannons taken, 68,000 prisoners and 200 towns submitted. Such is the glorious result of the last campaign.
The next campaign promises if possible still more surprising successes. Besides the naval forces of the Republic, which are now on the most respectable footing we have 200 battalions of infantry, 500 squadrons of Cavalry and 60,000 Artillery men.
Such immense forces were never maintained in any state of Europe, and posterity will hardly believe it possible.
February 8. Andrew Dumont. "The time is at length arrived, when virtue is to cause crime to disappear; the reign of justice and humanity have then at length succeeded the execrable system of Jacobinism. [Universal applause.] They no longer exist those dreadful times when even thought was a slave even among relations; when the audacity of tyrants dragged to the guillotine the free and virtuous man. You have overturned tyranny, but have you destroyed all the tyrants? [No! No! it is the general cry.] Malevolence is in motion; they wish to recall the reign of blood and rapine. Let us shew energy. Down with the drinkers of blood. [Yes! Yes! is the general cry.] Let us annihilate all those monsters, and not leave to Frenchmen the least doubt, that the revolution of the 10th Thermidor is complete. What were the Jacobins then? Rebels. What are they now? Inciters to rebellion; they dare yet menace with their daggers those among us who have shewn ourselves the most energetic defenders of principles. We must level with the dust those men of blood and rapine. [Yes, yes, yes!] What have we to fear when all good citizens are attached to the cause we defend. Let us then be explicit, and from all parts of France we shall receive the oath of fidelity respecting the law and its organs.
Let the partisans of the tyranny overthrown remain no longer unpunished; let us cause to disappear those useless representations which bring to our remembrance certain men, and let us leave to posterity the care of judging them.  Andrew Dumont concluded by saying, that he came in the name of the committees of public safety, general security and legislation to propose the following decree.
1. The honour of the pantheon shall be given to no citizens nor his bust be placed in the Convention hall or public place till the expiration of 10 years from his death. [The approbation of the Convention was expressed by repeated plaudits.]
2. Every decree contradicting the above is repealed.
The decree was adopted by an immense majority and much applauded.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 20.
The revolutions of this are stamped with a character totally different from all others recorded in the history of preceding ages.
That of Paris was distinguished by the rapidity and tranquillity with which it was effected, considering the obstacles presented to it by the extent of the country, and the powers enjoyed by the crown; but that which has just taken place here, posess in it something nearly miraculous. Not one drop of blood has been shed—not one insult has been
offered, or the smallest violation of property been attempted. All parties are equally safe, and no circumstance reflects more honor on the Dutch patriots than their conduct in a situation where reprisals might have been excusable. Apprized of the event that was to occur, the inhabitants united to protect the magazines, and maintain the police. Songs and dances are every where witnessed. Amsterdam in fact appears as if a fair were held in it; no occupation has been interrupted; and the different articles for sale are cried about in the streets, as if nothing extraordinary had happened.
The only novelty that exists is in the squares and front of the Hotel de Ville, where the Tree of Liberty has been planted, round which the French troops are feasted, as fast as they arrive, as also, the French and Dutch general officers, and the new magistrates.
The French regime is of course in part established. Mr. De Vessel is principal officer of the city, under the title of mayor.
LONDON, January 28.
The last advices from the continent say, that the British Troops were retiring over the Yssel. If the French follow them there, it is evident where the blow will fall.
Osnabruck and Hanover will be the first objects of their vengeance; and the Palace of Herenhausen, perhaps be again converted, by gallick insolence, into stabling for their horses.
Hesse-Cassel, too, will certainly feel their fury. The Elector has taken too active a part in the present war to escape all the punishment Republican rage can inflict on him.
Unless the Diet of Ratisbon, therefore, by their deliberations can effect an immediate suspension of hostilities, the war must spread wider; and all Germany, from Silesia to the borders of the Netherlands become parties in it.
In so general a contest, the Emperor may scarce find himself safe at Vienna; especially should Prussia, as there is reason to believe, enter into a treaty with the outrageous Republicans.
As to the forty thousand men rumoured to be intended from Russia, they have been much too long coming and the way is too far, to expect the reality of them.
The Czarina, however, may rest assured of meeting the French in Poland; and there they will as certainly be joined by the Turks, who wait only this assistance, to endeavour at the restoration of their old barrier against the Muscovites.
February, 1. Paris papers have arrived in Town of as late a date as the 28th.
In the sitting of the 22d Chambaceres, in the name of the committees of government, made the report respecting the royal infants confined in the temple—He discussed the political problem, whether it were more dangerous to preserve, in the bosom of the republic, the disgusting remains of the race of Capet, or, by transporting them to afford a rallying point to the villains who have already embraced their hands in the blood of their country, and furnish a pretext to the combined powers which assist them. The three united committees were unanimously of opinion to pass to the order of the day upon (that is in fact to negative) Lequinio's motion for the transportation of the children.
Johannet made the report announced some days ago before by Mailhe, in the name of the committees of government on the right of the sovereign people to choose the form of government they please. After a good deal of metaphysical reasoning, and much sophistry, in which the reporter represented the difficulty of the thing, he proposed, and the Convention decreed, That the sovereignty of the people is inalienable; and that it may adopt whatever form of government it chooses; except royalty.
Cambon announced to the Convention, that the committee of finances had two months ago given in an account, that the circulation of assignats did not amount to more than 6,200,000,000; but that the circumstances that had happened since that time had occasioned a new extraordinary emission of 3,400,000,000; [making in the whole, 400 millions sterling!] However in a few days the committee would propose to the Convention a plan of a lottery, which according to their account, would in the course of the present year, reduce this mass of assignats 4000 millions.
The king of Sardinia having borrowed money of the Dutch upon his jewels, and they being deposited in the bank at Amsterdam for security, the French have taken possession of the deposit to an immense value.
February, 7. On Sunday last, the French sum-
moned Bergen-Op-Zoom, the garrison of which consisted of 4,000 men, including the 87th British regiment, the number of which might be eliminated at about 620. This celebrated fortress was at that period in the most perfect state of defence, not only with respect to troops, but also as to provisions and military stores. But Gen. Le Maire, who commanded the French army before it, having sent to the Governor a proclamation which had been issued by the States General, requiring in their names (in consequence of the Stadtholder having absented himself) all the garrison towns of the United Provinces to surrender themselves to the French; Articles were immediately proposed by the Governor, which were as readily acceded to by the commander of the French forces, with the exception of one, which was proposed for permission, the British troops to return to England. The refusal of this occasioned some delay, during which Major Meade left the place, he being, in consequence of promotion in another regiment, which had some days previously been noticed, no longer considered as one of its garrison, and received leave of absence accordingly.
From Bergen-op-Zoom Maj. Meade proceeded to Flushing, which was not on his arrival absolutely in the power of the French, but where two of their commissioners had arrived to receive the surrender of the whole island of Walcheren and its fleet.

PHILADELPHIA, April 7.
The Columbian Centinel of the 28th of March states the returns of Votes in the District lately represented by Mr. Dexter to stand thus, Dexter 1436—Varnum 1286.
The two Jacobin papers published in Boston on the 30th are silent on the subject—all the returns were not received.
FOREIGN ABSTRACT.
THE salary of the members of the Convention which was 18 livres per day—(equal to three dollars and 26 cents) on account of the depreciation of assignats has been raised to 36 livres.
The latter end of December negotiations for peace between the people of Vendee and the troops of the Convention were in a train of progression—the Republican army near Vendee consisted of 50000—By the English papers it appears that the French who first crossed the Waal in December to the number of 5000 men with a few field pieces were defeated by the Hessians and English on the 30th of that month, and the greater part either killed or taken—but the French were determined to renew their attempts and on the evening between the 4th and 5th January they passed the Waal in considerable force but were attacked and repulsed—On the morning of the 5th, the allied army was reinforced by 17000 Austrians—and on the same day the baggage and heavy artillery of the British army crossed the Rhine on the ice, and the head quarters were removed to Amersfort—On the 8th an action took place between the troops who covered the retreat of the allies and the French who had again advanced in great force—the latter were repulsed with the loss of 500 men, killed and wounded; of the British 100 men and 7 officers were killed—This was the last action in which the British were concerned—On the 10th January another action took place in which the Austrians fought with great bravery—the action was said to be indecisive—but the French maintained their posts.
The foregoing is a succinct account of the several actions which immediately preceded the fall of the Dutch Provinces—The allies from that time retreated towards Germany—and in a few days the French were received into all the cities of the several United Provinces.
In the Sittings of the Germanic Diet or Assembly of the States of the Empire on the 5th and 12th December last it appears that a great majority were in favor of peace with France—the final determination of all the votes was expected to take place on the 22d of that month.
The King of England by proclamation, has appointed a public Fast on the 25th February. The Habeas Corpus has been again suspended by the British Parliament, against this suspension the Dukes of Norfolk and Bedford and Lord Lauderdale, entered their protest in the journals of the House of Lords.
What striking reverses do a few years exhibit in the circumstances of even those who appear to be the farthest removed from the vicissitudes of Fate.—It is little more than a Century, since the Prince of Orange went to England, not in a fishing boat, but with a powerful fleet and army, and was hailed welcome as the glorious friend of Liberty, and the preserver of the British Nation—What is now the Condition of his descendants? Fugitives from their native country—and dependant for shelter and protection on the benevolence of those whom the immortal William saved from the Tyranny of the House of Stuart.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Bridger Goodrich, dated Bermuda, January 5th, 1795, to a mercantile house in this city.
“The judge of Admiralty here condemns all vessels that are brought in from St. Domingo with French produce, considering that island in a state of invasion.”
The printers, generally, are requested to publish the above for the information of Merchants throughout the United States.
Extract from the Rev. Dr. Bernard's Sermon, delivered at Salem, (Mass.) on the day of the late Thanksgiving.
Whenever we forsake our government; whenever we grow jealous of men, whose education, wisdom and morals ought to inspire us with confidence, and chuse unprincipled persons to represent us; whenever we are ruled by the spirit of faction; whenever the
States renounce their union: whenever we allow a governing influence to Foreign Courts: whenever we become impious, idle and profligate, our glory will depart.”

MR. FENNO.
It has been asserted in a certain Political Epitaph published in the Centinel, and republished in your paper, that Congress had advanced money to France above what was due to her. This assertion is totally false, and I hope Mr. Fenno, you will allow it to be publicly declared so, by a well informed person.

COLUMBIANUM.
April 1st 1795.
“The Committee of Correspondence, agreeably to order, presented the draft of an address to the public, which was read, and agreed to unanimously, and ordered to be published.”
Extract from the Minutes.
SAMUEL LEWIS,
Secy. pro tem:
To the Cultivators and Encouragers of the fine Arts.
“In communicating our ideas to you as fellow labourers, we are persuaded that we shall make a successful appeal to feelings on your part, correspondent with those which have dictated this address on our part. Similarity of views, and unity of interest, entitle us to a claim on your attention, while we unfold the motives which justify the establishment of our Institution, designed to foster the fine arts.
The Philosopher has declared, and experience confirms the declaration, that man owes his greatness to the principle of association. Who knows not that genius often has its birth in obscurity; that it as often courts the shade, where it may languish, or expire, unless invited into notice by some friendly patron; and when brought into view, is admired and rewarded.
Until within a few years past, the elegant art of painting has been in its infancy in this country, and this has arisen, not from a poverty of genius in the American character, for we need only to cast our eye on England, and see there in the foremost ranks, a West, a Copley, and a Trumbull; but from the want of those means of patronage, which the leisure and the opulence of Britons have put into their hands.
This leisure & this opulence has already crowned the efforts of industry in many of our citizens, and is every day gaining accessions in the increase of their numbers. This in short, appears to be the crisis most favorable to the auspicious birth of our Institution, combining in its plan individual emolument, with national reputation.
It has too frequently been the reproach of men of genius, that in the treatment of one another, instead of yielding to that benevolence which true genius ought to inspire, they too often, give themselves up to an ignoble spirit of jealousy and ill-will: Strangers to the virtues of each other, they have too hastily surrendered themselves to impressions, illiberal and unfocial. This institution, inviting Foreign, as well as American Artists, to a friendly and frequent communication of sentiments will dispel unfounded suspicions, more the offspring of a hasty mind than of malevolence.
Such are the leading motives that have induced us to form this institution, which we have denominated the Columbianum : or American Academy of Paintings, Sculpture, Architecture, and Engraving . Should it meet with your approbation, and receive the general encouragement of our brethren we anticipate effects, the most flattering and animating to the vigorous prosecution of our pursuits. In awakening the public attention, we shall be convinced of the necessity of summoning all our powers, that such attention may be followed by gratification. The impression of this in its turn, by the patrons of taste, may be expected to excite among many of us, an enthusiasm,
the parent of every thing great in the Arts.
In conformity with the foregoing ideas, we have the pleasure to announce to you that the schools for drawing from plaster and natural figures have already commenced; as being considered the most important part of our Institution, for cultivating the rising genius of the American Republic. We have hastened to this undertaking, on small means, with the hope that we shall not want the aid of the Public to increase our stock, and extend the means of improvement; and we invite those whose talents lead them to the study of the fine arts, to make their applications for admission.
At a Meeting of the Directors of the Library Company of Philadelphia, Feb. 5th, 1795.
“A profile of an arch, the chord of which is two hundred and twenty-four feet, thrown from Rocky Island to Goat Island, in Piscataqua River, eight miles above Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the year 1794, invented and constructed by Timothy Palmer, of Newbury Port, Massachusetts, presented to the Library Company in person, together with a small Model, in wood, of a single arch, on a plan executed by him, over the Merrimack River, three miles from Newbury Port; for which the Board request he will accept their Thanks.”
“The plans on which this ingenious Artist constructed his Bridges across the Merrimack and Piscataqua Rivers, are proofs of strong and inventive Genius, from whose ideas the Gentlemen concerned in erecting the Bridge at Haverhill, on the River Merrimack, candidly acknowledge they received great benefit, as appears in their Letter accompanying the model of a bridge presented by them through the hands of Samuel Coates, at the last special Meeting of the Board.”
“The Librarian is directed to have the said Profile passed on a board for the Inspection of the Public, and to exhibit the model in the public room.”

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

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA
TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS.
Selected from the most striking and interesting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accompanied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities.
By G. I. PARKYNS,
Author of the "Monastic Remains and Ancient Castles in Great Britain."

That the work shall be published by Subscription; and that each Subscriber shall engage to take the whole set of Views, and shall pay for each engraving, if black or brown, 2 Dollars; and if coloured 5 Dollars. II. That the dimensions of each engraving shall be 24 by 17 inches, executed in aquatinta, and published upon paper of a superior quality.

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

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Royal Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who are appointed of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Royal Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
