FROM realm to realm, with crosst or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep swamps, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where angry swells aloud, and fetters clank: To cavils bestrew'd with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; —Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And mur'm'ring demons bate him, and admire.

Foreign Intelligence.
BERLIN, June 24.
The whole attention of the King is occupied by the Polish war, which he is determined to pursue with the utmost vigor, and is making every exertion for the purpose. Though the opening of the campaign has been unfavorable to the Polish nation, yet our most distinguished officers cannot avoid paying every testimony to the bravery and intrepidity with which they fought. Of Kosciuszko they speak in the highest terms: They equally admire his presence of mind in the action, and his skill in managing his retreat, which was only one league from the place of action, where he took a most advantageous and well-chosen position. The Prussian and Russian forces in the late action amounted to 25,000 regular troops; those under Kosciuszko only amounted to 20,000 a great part of whom were peasants armed with pikes and scythes.
ITALY, June 10.
Seven English ships of war under Admiral Elphinstone, are expected in the Mediterranean. The ratification of the capitulation of Bastia is suspended; however, the French garrison has been shipped for Toulon. General Paoli has made a triumphal entry into Bastia, and the town was illuminated at night; he intends to make a descent upon the island of Caprera, in order to deprive the Genoese of it.
The execution of the conspirators at Turin, goes on with increased activity. Five more foreign executioners have been called in. Eight hundred thousand measures of wheat have been purchased for the French at Genoa.
Madam Necker is dead.
Among other well known emigrants M. Mounier is at Bern, acting in the capacity of a tutor. Montesquieu, Pethion, Madam Genlis De Sillery, Mademoiselle Orleans, and her brothers; are in the same neighborhood. M. Dumourier is not yet stationary. Parties run very high in the Bishoprick of Basle. A cordon of Austrian troops has been formed near Bodeufee, to prevent the exportation of ammunition and provision to France, by way of Switzerland.
MANHEIM, July 7.
Yesterday Count Hebenstreit passed through this place to Neuwied, with information to the Prince of Cobourg, that seven-eight battalions of Austrians are on their march between Coblenz and Cologne, to reinforce his army. The Count, who came directly from Vienna, assures us, that the Emperor is levying 130,000 men in his hereditary States, and that this levy will be completed in the month of October. He also says, that the states of Brabant and Flanders have been formally dissolved, on the requisition of the Emperor by a provisional sentence of the chancery of the Netherlands at Vienna; so that if those provinces shall be recovered, the Emperor will be no more embarrassed by states or a constitution.
Two Hesse batteries arrived here yesterday, with orders for the baggage of the several regiments, and the heavy artillery, to join the army; and by two in the morning they were in motion for Trier.
It is the sovereign council of Brabant, not the States, that remains at Brussels and acts in concert with the French who are levying troops and contributions, and giving assignments in exchange for all the coin and provisions of the country.
The money belonging to the States of Brabant, stopped at Lillo, instead of many millions, as at first reported, is found to be only 200,000 florins, and the detention of it has been formally disavowed by the minister as the unauthorised act of the military commandant.
The Prince Bishop of Liege still remains there. General Beaulieu has signified to him, that if he quits the place without orders, he shall forfeit his Bishoprick. The emigrations are less numerous than last week.
GENOA, June 17
The contents of Lord Hood's last dispatches to our government have not yet transpired; but we learn that the English complain of the conduct of the Genoese, who at the approach of their ships, force them by cannon shot to withdraw beyond their reach. The English are said to be willing to raise the blockade of our port under proviso, that the British ships should be allowed to frequent the harbours of Genoa, Spezzia, &c. In the mean time the blockade still continues; but the greatest loss which our trade suffers, is caused by the privateers of Paoli.
VIENNA, June 28.
The return of the Emperor has naturally made us expect some fresh measures in the Cabinet, and we cannot but suppose that some pressing motive was the cause of his quick Journey. In
this respect we are, probably, not deceived. The presence of the monarch in the Low Countries, the experience he has personally obtained of the difficulties which the present conjuncture offers, and the insight which he must have gained in a far greater degree than what distant report could have given him, have occasioned a determination which may, in a little time, become known—at least a pacification is more talked of now than ever. There is also another circumstance, which may probably influence the determination of the Emperor—but as his motive is not so consoling to the friends of justice and humanity.—If report speaks true, the fate of Poland is really to be lamented. It is said that M. Du Cache, our minister, has quitted Warsaw, where he has so long resided, under pretence of going to the baths, but in fact to make arrangements for acting in concert with the Courts of Petersburg and Berlin, with regard to the Poles.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
June 25.
The following account was read by a deputy from the department of l'Yonne:
In a farm called les Loges, near Sens, in the department of l'Yonne, three brothers and their sister, with a male and female servant, refused to suffer an account to be taken of the corn on their farm. Four gendarmes were sent to force the doors; three were killed, and the fourth wounded. Six hundred men were then sent from Sens. The inhabitants of the farm, who were well provided with guns and ammunition, resisted for a long time, killed six of the National Guards, and wounded twenty-five fathers of families.—The farm was then set fire to; two of the brothers were killed; and a third threw himself into the flames; the sister and the two servants were taken.
The above account was ordered to be sent to the committee of public safety.
A report was presented on Eschaffeaux's proposition relative to the harvest and, after some discussion, it was decreed;
"That the produce of the ensuing harvest be placed under the care of the citizens; that grain of all sorts shall be subject to the requisition of the Government; that after the harvest a general account of the produce shall be taken; that every farmer shall, on the 20th Fervidor, and Vendemiaire (7th August and 11th October,) deliver a statement of the produce of his farm; that commissaries shall be appointed to examine these statements; that whoever gives a false statement shall lose the produce of his farm; and that the Municipality shall be responsible for the due execution of this law."
Barriere, in the name of the committee of public safety—"Citizens, while we are waiting for intelligence from the armies, the committee has appointed me to inform you of the result of our maritime expeditions. The Spaniards and the English continue to supply the Republic with provisions. Thirty prizes have entered our ports.
LONDON, July 24.
This morning Mr. Shaw, one of the King's Messengers, arrived at the Secretary of State's Office, from the Continent, with dispatches from Lord Malmesbury.
Yesterday we presented the public with accounts from the British army down to Friday last. We now give the following communications, to the date, from another Correspondent:
Camp at Konigsh, July 16.
Last night the enemy attacked our advanced posts of Hessians in the village of Waalheim, of which they possessed themselves after a slight resistance. The Hessians with the same precipitation which marked their conduct in destroying the bridge at Malines, set fire, in their retreat, to the bridge over the river at this end of the village, to prevent the enemy from pursuing them—a circumstance which will enable the enemy to keep possession of the place, and to annoy our advanced posts on this side of the water, by firing on them from the houses and banks of the river. That the enemy might be prevented from crossing the river at Duffel, three miles from the place, or in its neighbourhood, the Earl of Moira immediately marched thither with his army, where he is now posted.
The enemy, in the afternoon of this day, by a severe fire of Musquetry from the village of Waalheim, forced an Austrian party, posted in a battery at the end of the bridge, with two 12 pounders, to retreat; upon which six British field-pieces, belonging to General Steward's brigade, under the command of Captain Robertson, were ordered for-
ward to within 150 yards of the village, to fire on the numerous riflemen of the enemy, who lined the banks of the river, and the windows of the houses, without a man being visible at which they could fire. The artillery on this occasion behaved with the utmost gallantry, keeping up an incessant fire for upwards of two hours, and, in some measure, silencing that of the enemy, when they were ordered to retire, after having about one third of their men either killed or wounded by the fire of the enemy's riflemen from the windows of the village. On this occasion Captain Robertson received a contusion from a spent shot, which struck him on the shoulder.
Though we succeeded in some measure in forcing part of the enemy to retire from the village, the action was productive of no one beneficial consequence to repay our loss of men, and waste of ammunition; for no sooner were the guns withdrawn than the enemy returned to the village in as great force as ever.
This evening the French also advanced in some force on the village of Duffel, where Lord Moira is posted. His Lordship was however, fully prepared to give them a proper reception; for, on taking post there, he had prudently fortified the approaches to the bridge, which he also laid with combustibles, by which he had the power effectually to prevent the enemy from passing, while at the same time he could maintain a free passage for his own troops to the last minute. On seeing the numbers of the enemy his Lordship immediately detached across the bridge to attack them two regiments of infantry, some field pieces, and about 500 light cavalry, chiefly composed of the 16th and 16th dragoons; with a few of the 8th and 14th.
The French, on seeing our troops advance, began to retreat, so that our infantry had not an opportunity of coming to action with them, but our cavalry pushed forward, without losing a moment, charged that of the enemy, which amounted to about 600 men, with so much impetuosity, that after a severe but short conflict of a few minutes, the French were completely routed, with the loss of about 40 men killed, among whom was the Colonel who commanded them. Our dragoons took a number of fine horses, and pursued the enemy almost close to Malines. Our loss was four killed, and eight wounded.
Last night, the enemy kept up an incessant fire from Waalheim, which killed and wounded several of our troops: among others, Lieutenant Richardson, of the 28th, was killed by a rifle-shot, which struck him on the forehead.
Lord Moira's army has been perfectly unmolested all this day; the check which the enemy received yesterday having, as it would appear, deterred them from attempting anything in that quarter. One of Lord Moira's patrols of cavalry this morning pursued a small party of French Hussars, and took the serjeant of it prisoner, after being severely wounded. He says, that the French army to which he belonged are in general heartily tired of the war, though they have, at the same time, the greatest confidence in General Pichegru, who commands them. After being brought in he underwent a long examination by the Duke of York and the Earl of Moira.
Four Light Infantry companies belonging to the guards which were lately landed at Antwerp from England, marched thence into camp.
The French still molest us by firing from their covers in Waalheim. In the course of this day they killed twelve Hessians.
Friday, July 18.
This morning the enemy were found to have withdrawn the principal part of their force from Waalheim; nor is there any appearance of them at Duffel. We are therefore led to believe that in consequence of being foiled in their attempts to pass at these places, they will endeavor to do it near Lier, to the left of our present position. If they succeed in this we must change our ground, otherwise they may get to Antwerp before us.
Colonel Peck of the artillery, having arrived from England, to relieve Colonel Congreve, the latter will shortly leave this on his return home, carrying with him the regret of the whole army for his departure. The troops are sensible of his value, and of the important services he has rendered them during the two last campaigns. As an artillerist he has long been acknowledged as the first in Europe—As an officer, no man in the army possesses a clearer head, or more extensive knowledge of military affairs.
The accounts from the British army, we yesterday laid before our readers, and those given in the preceding communication, announce, that on the 18th the French had made a movement towards the left of the position occupied by our troops, in consequence of which it was expected the latter would be under the necessity of changing their ground, to prevent the French from cutting off their retreat.
By dispatches from the Duke of York, which were received yesterday, brought to Mr. Dundas's office, by the hon. Captain Hope, who left the army on Sunday last, it appears, that on the preceding day, the
French attacked the Earl of Moira's army, and that the British were preparing to retreat to Breda at the time Capt. Hope came away.
The direct answer of the Genoese to this Court is not known—it is however stated, that so much concession has been made as goes to grant permission to the British ships of war to enter the harbor, provided the blockade be raised.—The English Consul has been officially informed, that it was entirely through mistake that the fort of St. Marie in the Gappa of Spezzia, fired on the Diadem man of war, as formerly stated.
MEDITERRANEAN FLEET.
Extract of a letter from an officer in Lord Hood's Fleet, dated June 20.
We have been cruising before Toulon for some months, blocking up the enemy's ships (or in case they should presume to sail to take them to Corsica) and have experienced a great deal of bad weather.
On the 28th of May we were unfortunately driven much to the eastward, by a gale of wind, which continued for several days, and the squadron have never regained their former situation since; for although our endeavors were not wanting by beating to windward, before we could reach our old cruising ground, the French squadron was discovered at sea, making in all 16 sail of square rigged vessels, of which seven were of the line, viz. Sans Culottes, of 130 guns; Tonnant, 80 guns; Commerce of Bourdeaux, 74 guns; Censeur 74; Heureux 74; Generaux 74; and Duquesne 74. They were very far to windward of us when first spied, and kept their wind, rendering it therefore impossible for us to bring them to action.
On the 9th Lord Hood joined us in the Victory, making an English fleet of 16 sail of the line. On the 10th a signal was made for a general chase; and at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 11th, the two fleets were only three leagues from each other. The Dido frigate was the only ship that could get up, and exchanged some shot with the French: who having the advantage of the wind, soon after took shelter under the fire of their own forts in the Bay of Jooan, between Nice and Antibes. They were assisted in their escape by a number of boats, which were dispatched to tow them in. Had we caught any wind that day, the French fleet in these seas would have been totally cut up; but unhappily it fell a still calm: three miles only separated us when they got to an anchor. Now we block them in again; and should they not come out, Admiral Hotham will attempt to destroy them by fire.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, Sept. 11.
We are informed, that a vessel has arrived in this town from Hallowell, on the Kennebec River, with a cargo of corn, rye and flour, the latter article having been manufactured at the mills lately erected there. When we contrast this circumstance (which is but a small part of the grain exported from that place the present year) with the great quantities of grain annually imported into that country, and indeed until within three years past, we are happy in making public agreeable intelligence, as it must afford pleasure to every friend to his country to be informed, of its growth and prosperity, and this can be ascertained, perhaps, in no more certain instance, than when new resources open, and new manufactures are introduced.
SPRINGFIELD, (Mass.) September 16.
Military Inspections.
A general inspection of the companies forming the regiment commanded by Col. Thomas Dwight, of Capt. Bliss's company of Cadets, and Capt. Sargent's Troop of Horse, took place in this town on Tuesday last. The martial appearance and good behaviour of the troops on the occasion was such, as not only to excite the approbation of the General Officers of Inspection, but was highly pleasing to a large concourse of spectators.
At Brimfield, Col. Morgan's regiment paraded, in company with Capt. Hyde's Troop of Cavalry. The military ambition which pervaded the several companies inspected on that day, as well as the highly satisfactory to the Major-General, and the gentlemen inspectors in company with him.
At Amherst, on Friday last, Col. Henry Dwight, of Belchertown, paraded his regiment, for a general review. The appearance of his troops during the day was such, as to excite the most pleasing emotions in the breast of every free-man, who considers a well-disciplined militia, as the grand bulwark of a Republican system of government.
TRENTON, Sept. 17.
Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, the officers of the cavalry assembled at the General's quarters, and proceeded in procession to the State-House, where his Excellency the Governor and his suit—Brigadier-General Bloomfield—the
officers of the infantry and artillery, &c. were assembled. The following addresses and answers were then delivered.
To his Excellency RICHARD HOWELL, Esquire, Commander in Chief of New Jersey.
SIR,
The Citizen soldiers of the cavalry of New-Jersey, cannot omit the present opportunity of tendering their acknowledgments to your Excellency, for your exertions in support of the honor of this state and the dignity of the union; but, above all, accept, Sir, the grateful effusions of our hearts, duly penetrated with a sense of the honor you have reflected on us, by accepting an active command, and drawing your sword against our internal enemies;—be assured, Sir, that, with such an example, we shall consider all our hardships as necessary, and all danger as honorable. It is, Sir, our decided opinion, that law, ought to be the supreme rule of our conduct, and not the will of a few unprincipled individuals, who are neither awed by shame, checked by conscience or confined to truth. Penetrated with this opinion we cheerfully obey the calls of our country, in this tender of our services to support an established government—a government framed upon principles the best calculated to secure to us every blessing; and however painful it must be to a feeling mind to draw the sword against a fellow citizen, yet sentiments of compassion on this critical occasion, we solemnly believe, should yield to the more more powerful emotions of duty; emotions which no one can suppress without avowing himself an enemy to our country, and ready to introduce the horrors of anarchy. To avoid these evils and to support the authority of the law, we now, Sir, under the banners of freedom, pledge our sacred honors to your excellency, that while we consider our swords the swords of Justice, we will never sheath them, 'till we have subdued or extirpated the hydra discord from among us.
ANTH. W. WHITE, Brigadier General of New Jersey.
ANSWER
To the ADDRESS of Brigadier General White and the Officers of the JERSEY CAVALRY.
Gentlemen and Fellow Soldiers,
HONORED with the command of citizens in arms, who feel the cause they are engaged in, I confess, I am not unconscious of the dignity of my station; but, at the same time, I recollect with anxiety, how much should be done to deserve it. Devoted, with you, to the best interests of the union, no part was left for me but that which I have taken; and when freemen, who have sentiments and courage to maintain them, thus join me in opinion and promise their support, I feel a pleasing confidence, which triumphs over doubt. The occasion of our appeal to arms I join you in lamenting; and hope that a proper sense of duty will yet penetrate the gloom which envelopes our misguided country; yet, even compassion, which adorns the soldier's heart, must at last frown on obstinate offenders.
Your sacred pledge of honour I accept gentlemen. It stands indelibly recorded in my bosom, and under the same banner,* and for the same generous purpose, I pledge you my honour in return. Our glorious constitution is the standard by which we rally; surrounded by a band of brothers, it waves terror to internal enemies, and discord shall shrink at the light. The honour of the state gentlemen, is committed to our care, and, like you I wear it on my sword; but accept if you please, my sensations of your affectionate address without particular expression, and rest assured, that I shall consider your future satisfaction as my best earned reward.
R. HOWELL,
Commander in Chief of the Jersey Militia.

To His Excellency RICHARD HOWELL, Esquire, Commander in Chief of New-Jersey.
AT a time when we were pleasing ourselves with the most happy consequences of the late embassy to the court of Great-Britain, by which not only the commercial but the agricultural interest of our country, would have been in the most flourishing situation—when we were feeling the blessed effects of the most blessed constitution in the universe, what a cloud has been cast on our happy prospects; what a shock has been given to our political fabric, by a band of vile, abandoned traitors and incendiaries, who, at the same moment that they were receiving every advantage and encouragement that could possibly arise out of their local situation, are endeavoring to undermine the very Government which pours its favours into their laps. Men so unprincipled deserve not the blessings of a Republic; they

shall be driven into the jaws of some devouring depot, and leave the soil of America to be cultivated by a more deserving people. The Freemen of New-Jersey, roused by such an outrageous attempt to trample on the law of the land, and injudicious support of that freedom and independence they acquired by their blood in the late revolution, come forward, with their wonted military zeal, in the line of their duty, to accompany your Excellency on the present expedition; and flatter themselves, that the former military fame of New-Jersey will not be tarnished in their lawful exertions to suppress rebellion.
By unanimous desire of the officers of the Infantry and Artillery composing the Jersey Brigade, JOSEPH BLOOMFIELD, Brig. Gen. Camp, Trenton, Sept. 16, 1794.
ANSWER
To the ADDRESS of Brigadier-General BLOOMFIELD and the Infantry and Artillery of Jersey.
Gentlemen and Brother Soldiers,
THE address of your respectable corps calls for my full assent to the painful truths it contains.
At a moment the most important to the Union, when collected in our own internal unanimity, we were viewed with envy by conflicting powers, and even rapine, overawed by firmness, began to listen to our claims; discord and folly began their mad career. Deluded men unconscious of the boon that Heaven accords, with fraternal hands would plunge a dagger into the bosom of their country; but ours is the glorious task to interpose a shield. Though painful the task, yet it is ours, my fellow-soldiers, united in one common purpose, to drive home confusion to their hearts, who, with polluted hands, profane the best of constitutions; but let us hope that returning reason will heal the breach, and their complete submission slacken the arm of vengeance! I consider myself as fortunate to be at this time called to the command, and feel the nearest interest in your military reputation; but I was conscious that you knew, and dare defend your rights; and therefore looked for these exertions. Accept, gentlemen, my warmest acknowledgements for this honor, and be assured that with your co-operation, of which I have the liveliest certainty, I despair not to keep unfulfilled our military reputation.
RD. HOWELL, Commander in Chief of the Jersey Militia.

PHILADELPHIA,
SEPTEMBER 20.
Yesterday at 11 o'clock the Governor of this State, marched from Town, with the three Troops of Horse, commanded by Captains Dunlap, Singer, and McConnell, the company of Infantry commanded by Captain Scott, and the Artillery by Major Fisher, and Captain Thompson, with 15 Field pieces, 6 and 3 pounders. The troops encamped at the Falls of Schuylkill in the afternoon, except the Cavalry, who proceeded as far as Norristown.
Extract of a letter from General Wilkins, dated Pittsburgh, September 12.
"This instant there are recent accounts from Le Bœuf and Fort Franklin—they are almost certain, of a war with the Six Nation of Indians. Every one represents the conduct of the individuals of them as uncommonly insolent and arrogant. It is said by the man who came from Fort Franklin, that there are twelve or fifteen Indians from Sandulky, lying in the neighborhood of that place, under the pretence of being peaceable, but supposed to be waiting the result of the treaty, to commence hostilities, and to influence others to join them. Should they go to war, preparations ought to be made to support the garrison at Le Bœuf."
Extract of a letter from Captain Denny, commanding at Fort Le Bœuf, dated September 4.
"On the 10th ult. one of the inhabitants of Cussawago was fired on by a party of Indians within 150 perches of the house, and received three wounds, but escaped, and is likely to recover. I was informed of it the day following, and received a pressing requisition for
assistance. To prevent the settlement breaking up, I sent a party of twelve men, including a non-commissioned officer, with orders to afford all the assistance and protection they could."
Extract of a letter from Pittsburgh, dated September the 12th.
"The present disturbances in this country have a good deal subsided, but are yet far from having lost their original spirit. Yesterday the people of the different counties were to meet in districts and townships, to sign the submission to the laws—at this district it was conducted and ended with great moderation: the people almost all signed the submission; but in the other districts of this county, I am afraid, it has not terminated so favorably. In one district, the two parties, one for peace, the other for war, separated, when the war party appeared the most numerous, and the peace party were intimidated from signing. Almost all the leaders in exciting the present disturbances are now for peace and submission to the laws, but they have no longer influence when they become peaceable citizens, which establishes a melancholy truth, that men can raise an insurrection when they cannot conduct it."
Carlisle, 15th Sept. 1794.
Sir, In the night of the eighth instant a pole was erected in the public square of this town with Liberty and no Excise, O Whiskey, inscribed thereon. On the morning following a few of the friends to good government, met and cut it down, which caused a great agitation. And runners were dispatched in every district to inflame the minds of the country people, and persuade them to assist in putting up a second pole.
On Thursday in the afternoon a number, perhaps two hundred, of the people from the country, came in, some with fire arms, and erected a much larger pole, with Liberty and Equality thereon: very few men of property appeared among them. Our treasurer was a very busy body in this business, making use of all his small abilities to encrease the flame, and threw out money to the insurgents to procure whiskey: he is now at Philadelphia, and I have no doubt will pretend to be in favour of government.
The people who appeared on Thursday seemed to shun the conversation of any person who they thought was opposed to their proceeding, and it was thought advisable to say but little to them, as we could not tell how far the inflammation had spread through the country. A guard has patrolled the streets every night since, to take care of the pole, or to prevent the peaceable inhabitants from sleeping by the firing of guns, and other noise which has been hard to bear, and persons in pursuit of their business have been stopped at the point of the bayonet and money extorted from them to procure Whiskey.
On Thursday evening as Col. Blaine was conducting his sister Mrs. Lyon out of town, three of those desperadoes fired their guns at him—and pursued him two miles, firing several shots at him as they ran.
Happily no injury was done, except the lady being very much frightened: several farmers who have expressed their abhorrence of their proceedings have been threatened with destruction of property. Perhaps the government may from the accounts it may receive of the situation of this country think proper to order out a detachment of troops now in readiness, to take post at this place: it might have a good tendency in spiriting up the young people, to turn out as volunteers: every artifice has been used to prevent the militia of this country from turning out on this service, and even threats have been thrown out against those who shew an inclination to go.

HALIFAX, (N. S.) September 6.
Last evening arrived here from New-Brunswick the Letter of Marque Ship Caledonia, with masts, &c. for his Majesty's Navy-Yard.
An American ship is now lying at the Beach, said to be in distress.
The following vessels, being part of the 14 sail of the Concord's Convoy, taken by Admiral Murray's Squadron, have been adjudicated upon by the Hon. Richard Bulkeley, judge of his Majesty's Court of Admiralty for this Province, viz.
Snowy Camilla—Vessel and Cargo condemned as French property.
Armed ship Republique—Vessel and Cargo condemned as French property.
Ship Succès—Cargo condemned as the property of the Republic of France—the ship being originally the British Ship Flora, captured by the French, was ordered to be restored to her original owners, they paying a salvage of one Eighth to the Captors.
Ship Atlas—Cargo condemned as the property of the French Republic—the ship referred to the Claimants, who must seek their Freight of the persons that chartered them.
Schooner Amazon, ship Mary, brig Commerce, brig Susannah, ship Minerva, and Snowy Polly—all of above Cargoes condemned, but vessels restored in the same manner as the Atlas.
Brig Maria—Vessel and Cargo condemned.
The cases of the Marciano, George Washington, and Prelude, standing on different grounds, still remain for separate adjudication.
NORFOLK, Sept. 11.
On Thursday last, the 4th inst. the Schooner Rover, commanded by Benjamin Forrester, with several men, viz. James Roberts, William Greer, Thomas M. Pleasants, and William Edwards, failed from this port for Baltimore, wind, W. S. W. about 8 P. M. the wind suddenly freshened up and became very cloudy, rained, thundered and lightened: On a sudden they found the vessel sinking, and so quick that it was with the greatest difficulty they could get the boat out, which they at length effected, but the suction of the vessel was so great that they had much ado to keep the boat from going down—Most of the men were almost naked. She was about ten or fifteen miles from Wind Mill Point, when the funk, which place the crew reached at 3 A. M. It is supposed she was struck by lightning somewhere forward, as she sunk immediately after a very heavy clap of thunder, and went down head foremost.
GEORGETOWN, Sept. 16.
On Sunday morning last, in consequence of orders received in this town about 11 o'clock, from the governor of this state, by 3 o'clock in the afternoon 100 volunteer militia, infantry and cavalry, marched for Frederick-Town; and proceeded that evening 16 miles on their route where they encamped two hours and then resumed their march: On Monday morning they were followed by 60 volunteers from the Federal City, and Capt. Hughes's whole company from the neighborhood of Georgetown.
Facts speak for themselves, and in this instance need no embellishment.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 18.
AUTHENTIC.
An express, who left Frederick on Tuesday morning, at 7 o'clock, brings the following account: That Colonel—, with 20 gentlemen on horse-back, had just come in from Hager's town with an account, that the deluded people of Allegany and Washington were embodying, and might be expected that or the next day; that there were 500 good men at Frederick, well armed, in high spirits, and desirous that the insurgents would make the attempt on the arms; that they were under no alarm; the Baltimore horse were met within a few miles of Frederick; the first detachment of foot would be at New-Market on Tuesday evening; the second detachment were apprised of the alarm, and were marching on rapidly; and that the militia were collecting from all quarters to Frederick.
MARTINSBURG, September 15, 1794.

Private letters from Naples mention, that upwards of 18,000 persons lost their lives by the late eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Sir Henry Clinton; K. B. has been appointed Governor-General and Commander in Chief of the forts and garrisons of Gibraltar.
Yesterday a patent was made out at the Secretary of State's Office, creating Earl Howe a Marquis of Great Britain.
In the sitting of the 17th of June, Barrère caused a decree to pass, which enacted the emission of Fourteen Hundred Millions of assignats. Operations, like this, must no doubt be often repeated; when for the extraordinary expenses of one single month more than 230 millions are to be taken out of the chest with three keys, and delivered into the National Treasury. This is nearly the sum, which in the sitting of the 15th was determined upon to make good the payments made by the National Treasury in the present month.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, dated July 18.
I am sorry to have to inform you that Gen. Clairfayt, with his handful of brave fellows, who have always fought most courageously against a constant superiority of numbers, has been severely beaten at Montagne de Fer; and according to some accounts, has lost half his troops, the whole of which amounted only to 15,000 men.
The Marquis Cornwallis, the Marquis of Hertford, and the Hon. Mr. Bruce are all arrived in England. The object of their mission being at an end by the complete disjunction of our Allies, they have returned; and thus at least the expence of commissioners is saved.
It is no longer a secret that the Emperor has given up the object of the war. These noble commissioners did every thing in their power to detain him; but in vain. He declared the object to be unattainable by all the force of Europe; and said, that while in compliance with the oblinacy of the English Court, he was pursuing this crusade, the dearest objects of his own true policy were going to wreck; his rivals were aggrandizing themselves; he was exhausting his treasures, and wasting his people in vain; and his armies by the very contest were catching the flame of that liberty which it was their object to stifle.
His farewell address to his own subjects in Brabant was short, but expressive "Vous voulez les Francais, et vous les aurez."—You desire to have the French, and you shall have them.
The death of Prince Kaunitz at Vienna was announced at Brussels, on the 4th inst. He has had the principal influence in the Imperial Cabinet since the reign of Maria Theresa. He had been incapable of business for several months before his decease; and as the war with France was a measure of his the apparent abandonment of it by the Emperor must be owing to the advice of Kaunitz having ceased to operate.
By the Emperor's withdrawing himself from the war, he throws difficulties upon England, from which we cannot easily extricate ourselves—Holland must be defended, and to defend it securely we must purchase peace by restoring the West-India islands, and sitting down with the shame of having been made the dupes of the despots of Europe, with the loss of at least thirty millions of money, and 50,000 men.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.
There is an account in Town of the Insurgents having made an attack on Fort Pitt—the citizens of Pittsburgh having joined the Garrison which consists of about 200 men, the Insurgents were beat off with loss, some being killed and a number taken prisoners.
The General Advertiser of this morning says, "That it is not a fact that the house in Carlisle at which the Commissioners put up was surrounded with an intention of taking them, and that he is enabled to contradict that account upon the very best authority." A person lately from that place assures us that this statement is accurate and correct, for the house is so situated that it could not be readily surrounded.—But that fame authority if it was so very good
could have informed Mr. Bache, that the body of armed men did come into town—and for what purpose was evidenced by their conduct; for when they understood that the gentlemen were gone, they made an effigy of the Chief Justice, which they obliged to kiss the pole they had erected, and then burnt it. The paragraph is also very correct in stating that they had no intention of taking the Commissioners—their intention being to punish them as Judges and not as Commissioners!!!

Original Sin—4. Election. 5. Repentance. 6. The Divinity of Christ; and 7. Atonement for Sin by the death of Christ. By Joseph Priest- ley, L. L. D. F. R. S. &c To which are added a concise History of the rise of those doctrines, and an account of the Trial of Mr. Elwall for Heresy and Blasphemy at Stafford Assizes. To the whole is one God the Father, and one Mediator the Man Christ Jesus. 1. Cor. VIII. 6. 1. Tim. II. 5."
In conformity to the Act of Congress of the United States intitled "An Act for the encouragement of Learning by securing the copies of Maps, Charts and Books to the Authors and Proprietors of such Copies, dur- ing the times therein mentioned."

Philadelphia. September 17, 1794. General orders.
THE Governor takes the earliest oppor- tunity of expressing his sincere thanks to the quotas of the brigades of the city and county of Philadelphia militia, for their punctual and general attendance at the camp this day. In a particular man- ner he acknowledges his obligations to Col. Gurney and his regiment, to Captains Dunlap, Singer, and McConnell, and the cavalry under their command; to the corps of Artillery; to the several corps of Grenadiers and light infantry, attach- ed on this occasion to Colonel Gurney's regiment; to the volunteer company of light infantry under the command of Ma- jor McPherson; and the corps from South- wark. A conduct so honorable, and so spirited, cannot fail to excite a patriotic emulation thro' out the state; and the Governor, with heart-felt satisfaction, an- ticipates a correspondent effect, in protect- ing our constitution and laws from the threatened violation and subversion.
Wherever the question, that occasions the present armament, has been explained and understood, the citizens of Pennsyl- vania have manifested their zeal to main- tain the public peace and order, and every enemy of the Republic, internal, as well as external, will eventually find, that those who have fought to obtain a free govern- ment, will as cheerfully fight to preserve it.
In addressing citizens, who have advan- ced under a sense of duty, for the purpose of restoring the violated authority of the laws, it is superfluous to recommend a constant attention to sobriety and order, a strict respect to the rights of persons and of private property, in the course of the march. The Governor is confident that the conduct of his fellow-citizens, will in that, as well as in every other respect, command the esteem, conciliate the dispo- sitions, and invite the assistance and friend- ship of the country through which they pass.
The commanding officers of the respec- tive corps are requested immediately to re- port to the adjutant-general, a roll of their officers, men and equipments; and, like- wise to prepare and furnish the advance and pay rolls. Such of the militia as will any part of their advance or pay be given to their families during their absence, will please to state the same to the commanding officer of the proper corps, who will make a report to the adjutant-general, and pro- vision will accordingly be made for en- suring a compliance.
The following order of march is to be observed by the quotas of the city and coun- ty of Philadelphia Brigade.
 1. Capt. Dunlap's Troop of Light  2. Capt. McConnell's Horse  3. Capt. Singer's 
to assemble on Friday morning in Mar- ket Street east of twelfth Street and to march with the baggage in the rear by the way of Norris-town Reading and Harris- burgh to Carlisle.
On Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. 1. The light infantry corps, 2. The grenadiers, 3. The baggage of the infantry grena- diers and battalion, 4. The Governor's staff and waggons with stores,
2. The battalion, To march from their present encamp- ment by the middle ferry bridge to the ridge road and thence by Norris-town, Reading, and Harrisburgh to Carlisle.
By order of the Governor, (signed) JOSIAH HARMER, Adjutant-general of the mil- itia of Pennsylvania.

The TRIAL OF
Maurice Margarot, Before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for SEDITION PRACTICES.
"OF the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of crimi- nal Jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal pe- culiar and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- est views and objects of the British conven- tion; and proves incontrovertibly, that judi- cial prosecutions (or persecutions) and de- cisions are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constitu- tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest trials we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment."

Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on- ly, on moderate terms, and at a long credit.
The soil is remarkably fertile, and nu- merous 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, naviga- ble 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 water- ed 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 market.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city.
Another means of connection with Phil- adelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every en 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.
For further particulars apply to George Eddy, Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phil- adelphia, or to this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. codam

C. W. PEALE.
EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the in- terests of useful science, has on the sug- gestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, in- ventions, improvements, schemes, obser- vations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate.
Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications ano- nymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communica- tions in a private book which he will keep for that purpose.
The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may se- cure to inventors their just claims, and pre- vent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not en- titled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, once a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of diffusing a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and inven- tion, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.
