American Landscapes. PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS. Selected from the most striking and inte- resting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accom- panied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities. By G. I. PARKYNS, Author of the "Monastic Remains and Ancient Coffins in Great Britain." CONDITIONS. I. That the work shall be published by Sub- scription; 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. The publication to com- mence immediately; and one engraving to be delivered to the Subscribers, on the first Monday of each succeeding month, until the proposed series shall be finally comple- ted. III. 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 convul- sions of a revolutionary age, they must inevi- tably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the portions of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and dili- gence of men of genius and talents. Advan- cing, 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 circum- stances of the world, however, the oppor- tunity occurs to anticipate the defined peri- od of pre-eminence; and to render America at this eventful hour, the guardian and pro- tress 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 underestimating or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country pos- sesses 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 he profusely fea- tered over the American continent: But un- fortunately 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 adap- ting civil institutions to the genius of a new nation, seems to have been sufficient to en- gage 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, overstepped 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 feni- bility of heart, to admire the graces, as well as to reap the abundance which providence has bestowed on this country; and the Euro- pean is compelled, with an anxious and ex- pectant eye, to look abroad for that peace & prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at home. The attention of mankind being thus di- rected towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as to its poli- tical 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 Eu- rope; its close imitation of finished draw- ings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depicts the light and graceful touch- es of nature, are properties, that seem pecu- liarly adapted to the American scenery, some of the tints and colors of which are certain- ly no where else to be found. Exclusive of these advantages, it is likewise in contemplation to render the work a repo- sitory of descriptive topographical and histo- rical facts respecting the circumjacent coun- try from which the views were taken: But
to give full effect to this part of his undertak- ing, 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 engraving. 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 im- proper 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 ut- most 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, &c. &c. &c. 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 expense, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 Views, more than the number contained in the present Pro- posals. 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 ad- dressed to him at New-York. Subscriptions are received by Mr. Harri- son, 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.

An extract of a Sermon delivered in Christ Church on Thursday the 19th ultimo, (being a day of general Thanksgiving) by the Right Rev. Wm. White D. D. and just published by Mr. Ormerod—Dedicated to the President of the United States.
If ever there were causes of general devout gratitude, they must be such, as are brought before us, at this time: causes, which, however comprehensive of benefits of various sorts, may be traced to that principal cause, under Providence, the establishment of a government, proportioned to the necessities of the nation; and connected with that event, the moulding of the constitution of the state government, to the principles of the federal. For that great leading event, about the time of its accomplishment, we poured forth our praises to Almighty God, in this place. But however sincere our joy, it was reserved to subsequent events, to show us the full benefit of the occasion of it. For it seems to have been a part of the dispensation, which was permitting bloody wars among powerful nations, to place this rising commonwealth, at the eve of the mighty contest, in the very condition, which, alone could prevent her from being involved in and, perhaps, the victim of the storm. So that, if we have formerly contemplated, with devout gratitude, an event, which finding us disunited and weak at home, neglected and despised abroad, with a discouraged agriculture and an almost ruined commerce, produced an immediate and progressive increase, in whatever can make a people prosperous, secure and happy; there was yet, in reserve, an evidence of the magnitude of the mercy; an opening of the precipice, on the verge of which we stood; but which we should not now contemplate, without lifting up our voices and our hearts, to the presiding power of God; who has thus guarded us against not only seen, but unseen dangers; and has done more for us, than our own knowledge of our situation permitted us either to ask, or to think.
Even with this apparent guard against the danger, who, among us, did not possess, a few months ago, some such feelings as those of the prophet, when under the view of the desolations coming on his country, he exclaimed, in the agony of his spirit, "O my soul, thou hast heard the sound of the trumpet and the alarm of war! The danger has died, like distant thunder, with noise, but not with desolation. This is a mercy, which may best be estimated, by a contrast with the miseries of weeping millions of our fellow men: And if we have a sense of the benefit, now is the time to raise the song of gratitude to him, who, with such tender care, has "defended us under his wings and made us safe under his feathers;" and "whose faithfulness and truth have, so graciously, been our shield and buckler."
Little, however, does it avail, for a country to be free from foreign war, if discord, foul fiend, blow the trumpet of sedition within her bosom; and if, when citizen and citizen disagree, the appeal be made, not to law, not to the fountain from which law should issue; but to violence and persecution. Such, however, is what faithful history will record; not to stain the rising glory of our republic, but to illustrate its principles; competent as they have been found, to the calling forth of the spirit and of the strength of the community, against those who would arrogate to themselves its powers. Far be it from me, to open wounds, which, I hope, are closing; or to dwell on errors, for which penitence is, probably, endeavouring to atone. But it is impossible to take into view the full ground of our Thanksgiving, unless we remember the disorder referred to, with gratitude for the suppressing of it; this, after a forbearance, which should have prevented the necessity, and yet by a firmness and force, which rendered resistance desperate; with the least possible injury to private convenience, and to public treasure; and with the rendering of what had happened an additional security of the government, endangered by it. All which, while it deservedly directs the public gratitude to those, whose wisdom guided and whose courage accomplished the measure, should carry us further; even to the adoration of the high and mighty Ruler of the Universe; who, having bid the billows roll, has bid them stop; who has brought lasting good news of temporary evil; and who is thus conspicuously behold, in his "silling," not more "the rage of the sea, and the noise of his waves,"
than "the madness" of popular tumult and insurrection.
If there could be any doubt of these public mercies, it would be easy to read their proper characters, in the private benefits, which flow from them. For was there ever a country, which, in the same space of time and in proportion to its numbers and its means, has exhibited the like spirit of enterprise on the ocean? has made the same extension of its agriculture? has witnessed the beginnings and the progress of so many useful arts and trades? has received so many testimonies of the increasing respect of foreign nations, not only in the treaties of their governments; but in the emigrations of their subjects? These are mercies, which the world witnesses and records: Well then does it become us, not only to confess them, but to give the praise where it is supremely due, to that gracious Being, who makes "the clouds drop down on us their fatness;" and who, in every other way, blesses the public, and the individuals, generally, who compose it.
Here my enumeration would cease; if a new ground of gratitude had not recently arisen, from what is stated as a subject of prayer, in the appointment. I allude to the instruction that we should intercede, in favour of the whole family of mankind, for the blessings, which we possess or ask for, ourselves. For "ear witness, O ye nations of the earth, that confederate America, not seeking her glory and her wealth, in the destruction of your citizens, in the devastation of your countries and in the spoiling of your commerce, wishes you every felicity, which she can implore of a gracious providence, for herself! Am I sanguine, in contemplating the benevolent sentiments, as in part carrying into effect, in the confessed negotiations of contending nations? I trust not; And may God grant, not only the full accomplishment of the event desired; but that, to perpetuate it, there may, more and more, prevail the genuine spirit of that religion, the fruit of which will at last be, that "nation shall not rise against nation; and that they shall learn war no more."

FRANCKFORT, Dec. 8.
Lieutenant General Count de Schauenburg Kehnert, whose retirement from the post of War Minister the king of Prussia has recently consented to, has also given up the Military Government of this city, conferred on him by his Prussian majesty, and has set out for Berlin. He is succeeded in his Government by General Thadden, the defence and security of Franckfort being absolutely confided to the Prussian troops. The latter, since the successes of the Russians in Poland have permitted the return of the army commanded by the Hereditary Prince Hohenlohe, will probably act with more vigour than heretofore in the defence of the Rhine, of Mentz more especially. According to our advices from Paris, the capture of that city, which was expected by the Committee of Public Safety, as would appear by one of the resolutions of that Committee, before the 20th instant, is to close the campaign in the territory of the Empire. It is true that the unsuccessful attack on Zablbach, on the first instant, may have postponed the period of this event; but as a proof that the French, in spite of the above checks, have not abandoned their enterprise, they are burying themselves before the place in subterraneous huts, to shelter themselves from the rigours of the winter. In the interim the desire for peace is become general throughout this part of Germany; and it is with great satisfaction we learn, that on the 5th instant, the day fixed by the Diet of Ratisbon for the opening of the Protocolle on the propositions of the Elector of Mentz, the suffrages of all the Colleges of the Empire were, in a very long sitting, in favour of opening negotiations for peace. Since the aforesaid proposition was laid before the Dictatorial Assembly, Baron de Straufs, the Directorial Minister, has unremittingly pressed the respective Ministers to entreat the Emperor and the king of Prussia to procure an armistice, and a suspension of hostilities.
From BRADENBURGH, Dec. 9.
It is known that during the insurrection which took place in Warsaw the Prince Primate, brother to the king of Poland, died; and it was reported he was poisoned; we have now learnt the following particulars of that business: "The above Prince was condemned to die by the heads of the Revolution; but Kosciuszko, willing to avoid the shame of a public execution,
went himself to the condemned Prince, with his sentence of death in one hand, and a glass of poison in the other, leaving him to choose which he would take; he chose the poison, which he drank, after having made his will; and after his death was privately buried."
The Prussian troops are pushing forwards into Sandomiria, and as they arrive the Russians go away; Austrian troops also begin to appear, and we seem to be upon the eve of important occurrences, which may have great influence on the politics of different States.
EDINBURGH, Dec. 20.
We are happy to mention, for the satisfaction of those who have relations in the 37th regiment, that a letter is received from one of the officers (who was taken prisoner on the 19th of October last,) dated Amiens, November 12th, 1794, and conveyed through Switzerland, stating, that no officer was killed at the time of their misfortune, those who were wounded are all recovering, and out of danger—Very few men were killed, only 30 wounded; the others were made prisoners, and are safe and well at Amiens.
A royal warrant is come down for opening the Jewel office of Scotland in the Castle, which has been shut for many years. Besides the regalia of Scotland, it is supposed to contain many papers of importance. The opening, we hear, will take place on Monday, in presence of the State Officers, Keepers of the Registers, &c.
The advantage arising to this country, from the Great Canal being carried through from sea to sea, are begun to be felt daily. The herring fishery in the West Highlands having in a great measure misgotten this year, no less than 54 vessels went through the Great Canal in the course of 10 days, for the herring fishery on the east coast.
LEWES, Dec. 22.
The crew of the Ardent, of 64 guns, blown up on the coast of Italy, consisted of near 600 men and boys on board, not one of whom it is believed escaped the dreadful accident.
BERLIN, December 9.
The King is better than he was, and will soon visit this capital.
PARIS, Dec. 9.
The famous denunciation against the old committees of Public Safety and General Welfare, circulates rapidly, and fixes the public attention. The people wait with impatience for a trial of this great affair, which will unveil that calculated system of crimes and tyranny, which has covered France with mourning, with tears, and dead bodies. The authors of such horrors must be punished. The stability, the prosperity of the Republic, the Public Safety require that the axe of the executioner should strike without mercy those execrable men, who have spread over our unfortunate and miserable country, all the scourges of hell.
REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL.
November 27.
TRIAL OF CARRIER.
This day the trial of Carrier commenced before the Revolutionary Tribunal. An immense concourse of people assembled about the Hall of Justice; and, at an early hour, the hall was extremely crowded. The arrival of the Judges produced the most profound silence.
At eleven o'clock, Carrier made his appearance, which produced an involuntary burst of indignation from the audience. The officers with some difficulty restored silence.
Carrier was placed in the most conspicuous part of the hall, and surrounded by Gendarmes. The President admonished the audience to deport themselves with a respect and decorum suited to the solemnity of the occasion. The most profound silence ensued.
The accustomed formalities being gone through, the President proceeded to interrogate the prisoner.
Pref. What is your name, country and profession?
Pref. My name is J. B. Carrier; I was born at Yolet in the department of Cantal. Before the Revolution, I was in the profession of the law, and am now a deputy to the National Convention.
Carrier. Will you permit me to say a few words?
Pref. You cannot be heard until the accusation against you be read.
The decree of accusation was then read, and likewise the process verbal, of the 6th Primaire, relative to examining the prisoner. It appeared from the process verbal, that with respect to the first charge produced against him by the Convention, he had objected to the competency of the President of the Tribunal, the Public Accuser, his substitute, and Jurors who compose the Revolutionary Committee at Nantes, referring, for cause of objection, to his last protest to the Convention on that subject. It likewise stated, that he promptly refused to submit to interrogatories.
After reading several other papers respecting the mode of trial, the President called upon the prisoner to nominate an Advocate to conduct his defence.
Carrier, after a short pause, replied, that he was not acquainted with any advocates.
The Tribunal assigned Citizen Laffetrie.
Carrier insisted on being heard.
The President remarked, that this requisition could not be complied with in this stage of the business.
The act of accusation being read.
Carrier said, certain formalities ought to have been complied with, before he was put on his trial. The first was, the previous examination, and the next, a list of Jurors returned by ballot, to which he was entitled. No power in the world, said Carrier, can or ought to deprive me of a right I enjoy with every citizen, I mean my right to a fair and impartial trial by a Jury, chosen by lot, with the benefit of challenge.
The President informed the prisoner, that the decree of the 22d Vendemaire (Oct 13) directs the Tribunal, to proceed without delay to the trial of the members who composed the Revolutionary Committee at Nantes, and their accomplices, and on this account the process had been commenced against the persons under accusation. In conformity to this decree, said the President, several citizens, who at first were intended to have been produced as witnesses, are now included in the list of the accused; and it is in consequence of various reports made daily by the Tribunal to the Committee, that you are consigned to the Tribunal for trial, and included in the accusation with the witnesses, who are presumed to be accomplices in the atrocities perpetrated at Nantes.
Carrier. I ask nothing but justice, and insist upon the benefit of the law. I repeat it, no power on earth can deprive me of my privilege, as a French citizen; I cannot be legally tried, otherwise than by a Jury chosen by lot. According to your own reasoning, President, I could only have one mode of challenging the Jurors assigned me, and that is by lot. It is not in your power to deprive me of this right, which I conceive to be one of the most important privileges of a French citizen. I am not brought before you as an accomplice in the affair at Nantes. I am brought here to answer a charge against me individually. The act of accusation is silent on the subject of accomplices. I stand alone, and in my individual capacity, insist upon the due execution of the law. I therefore demand a Jury chosen by lot, that I may have my legal challenges.
Petit, the public accuser's substitute, produced a letter he had received from Carrier in the preceding evening. In this communication, the prisoner made a variety of observations on the mode of challenging preemptorily, and for cause. On the latter ground, he objected to the competency of citizens Sambal, Topinot, Lebrun, and Saubier, and assigned as a reason, that they were in habits of intimacy with Freron, Tallien, and Real, who were the authors and abettors of this prosecution. The public Accuser in a speech of considerable length pointed out the futility of Carrier's objections to the competency of the Jury, and proposed that they should proceed in the trial without further delay.
The Tribunal signified their intentions to withdraw to the council chamber, to deliberate on the relevancy of Carrier's objection.
Carrier apprised the Court, that if their decision should be unsatisfactory, he would insist upon an immediate appeal to the Convention.
The Tribunal retired. After a long consultation, they returned to the hall, and decided in favor of the arguments produced by the public accuser. They were decidedly of opinion, that Carrier was implicated in the proceedings of the Revolutionary Committee at Nantes, and in support of that opinion, they quoted the 13th article of the decree of the 6th of September, 1793, and of the 22d Vendemaire (13th Oct.) which established their right to take cognizance of offences, committed in a different district or section. The ground of challenge was accordingly pronounced vague and irrelevant.
The President informed Carrier, that he was at liberty to communicate the result of the deliberation to the Convention.
Laffetrie declared, that he was retained for several other citizens under accusation, and that he could not undertake the conduct of Carrier's defence.
Carrier, having represented that it was absolutely necessary for him to have an advocate, whose other avocations and engagements would not preclude him from the benefit of his assistance, & who might retire to his own house to examine the necessary documents, the President informed him that immediately upon the adjournment, he should transmit to Carrier a list of professional men, that he might select such as he deemed necessary for his defence. The sitting was immediately adjourned till next day.
PARIS, December 1.
By letters from Toulon we learn, that there are fifteen ships of the line and ten frigates ready to sail on the shortest notice; besides which there are five ships of the line and a frigate.
From Brest we have accounts, that the grand fleet, consisting of 35 ships of the line, will sail on the 24th, to join ten sail which are now out at sea. All these ships are victualled for a month; their destination is not known. Bread is not the dearest article of
life; it is at present only double the price it was before the revolution. A roll of cloth, formerly worth 36 livres, now costs 200; shoes, which used to be sold for five or six livres per pair, now cost 30; meat, which was sold for 10 or 12 sous per lb. now sells for 30; candles now cost 6 livres per lb. wax candles, 30 livres; lamp oil, 6 livres; butter, 6 livres; sugar, 24 livres; coffee, 24 livres; one hundred eggs, 50 livres; a cord of wood, 150 livres; a pair of common woollen stockings, 12 livres; and other articles in proportion. The price of labour is paid in proportion, and a labourer was paid during the summer, 15 livres. The Convention does not pretend to disguise the dangers of this increase in the price of every thing, and the cause of it was much debated in one of their sittings in November, when all parties agreed in attributing it to the enormous mass of assignats in circulation, and the great expenses of the war, the present campaign of which is estimated to have cost two billions, two millions of livres.
LONDON, December 29.
The workmen in the dock yards at Chatham, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, by orders from the Admiralty, work by torch light, to expedite the repairs. So urgent is the occasion for the equipment of a most formidable fleet, not withstanding the advance of the season.
Extract of a letter from Dover, December 28.
"This day arrived in our harbour the Charlton, capt. Clark, from Baltimore, which place she left the 4th instant, bound to Hamburg, and made the land in 14 days, and off Dover yesterday week the 20th. Ever since that time she has been beating amongst the Flemish banks; has lost her anchor and cables, and was picked up by two hovellers a mere wreck; the men all frost-nipped, and unable to do duty, except two. She is laden with cotton and sugar, and could she have had little more than twenty-four hours fair wind and weather, would probably have reached her destined port with one of the quickest voyages ever known."
His majesty's ministers, it is said, in a council held on Saturday last, came to a determination to abandon the prosecution against Mr. John Martin, the Attorney, indicted for high treason.
On Tuesday evening Earl Stanhope gave an entertainment at his seat at Chevening, in Kent, to his neighbors and tenants, to celebrate the acquittal of Mr. Joyce, the tutor of his son, and the other persons indicted with him of high treason. About 400 persons of both sexes, who were invited, besides a number of gentlemen from different parts of the country, were present.
The Practice of inoculation, which is found to be the only method of diminishing the ravages of that dreadful disorder the Small Pox, has been carried into effect on a very laudable plan at Guilbourg, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. A subscription was promoted by some of the principal inhabitants, for inoculating all the children in the place, and out of 200, on whom the operation was performed, only two have died.
December 31.
The Duke and Duchess of Brunswick are expected to accompany the Princess of Wales to England. Apartments are fitting up in the left wing of St. James's Palace for their residence.
Last night his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived in town from Sheerness, where he had been to see the nobility, with their attendants, embark to bring over the Princess of Wales.
A letter was received in town yesterday from on board the Jupiter man of war, of 50 guns, commodore Payne's flag ship, stating, that the whole fleet bound for Holland, for the purpose of bringing over the Princess of Wales, remained wind bound at the Nore, on Sunday afternoon, at four o'clock.
The diamond presents, which commodore Payne carries with him for the Princess of Wales, are to the amount of upwards of 16,000l.
A letter from Lisbon says, that the command of the 6000 Portuguese troops which are to be sent against France has been conferred on Colonel McIntyre, a native of Scotland, who has been for many years in the service of her Most Faithful Majesty.
The Bishopric of Munster, making a part of the circle of Westphalia, is the country which, in imitation of England, has received the exiled clergy of France, with a generosity and kindness that has only been exceeded by Great Britain. That Bishopric, which contains no more than 230 parishes,

has given an asylum to 2000 of these unfortunate men; 1800 of whom are lodged, fed, and even clothed, by voluntary contributions of the inhabitants of all ranks and descriptions.
This humane and benevolent conduct in Great-Britain and Munster, forms a striking contrast with that of several countries, & especially of Spain, where, under the reign of a prince of the house of Bourbon, invested with the title of a Catholic King, the emigrated French clergy and laity find neither protection nor resources, except in four or five dioceses, the superintending bishops of which fulfil, as far as respects them, all the duties which humanity and charity prescribe. The Archbishop of Toledo, and the Bishop of Arunea, are of that number.
For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. PRINTER, THE newspapers have, for some time past, teemed with idle declamation and personal invective, from anonymous correspondents, supporting opposite claims to originality, in the proposed establishment of a society for the protection of the useful and fine arts; and I think the subject is now worn thread bare, without the matter being fully or satisfactorily explained to the public. I shall, therefore, through the medium of your paper, state a few queries, in order to illustrate the point in question.
AMERICANUS.
DID Mr. Peale convene the Artists, to take into consideration the plan of a national institution for the encouragement of Painting, &c. &c. or was he invited by them to assist in carrying their ideas into execution?
Did Mr. Peale reprobate and oppose the plan of a national college?
Did Mr. Ruhl, the carver, recommend the artists to withdraw themselves from Peale's Museum; and did he allure them he would follow their example, in order to preserve the Columbianum?
Did Mr. Ruhl adhere to his declaration above alluded to?
Did Mr. Birch, jointly with nine others, voluntarily sign an obligation to support the establishment of a national Columbianum, on a foundation not liable to be subverted or shaken by illiberality or intrigue?
Did Mr. Birch and his associates, in this solemn engagement, discharge the confidence they reposed in each other?
Did any members of the Columbianum retire from the Society at Peale's Museum, after the artists had withdrawn themselves?
When the artists withdrew from the Museum, did they abandon their intended institution?
Did Mr. Peale present the constitution of his Society for incorporation without the knowledge of the members who compose it?
Did the association at Peale's Museum formally adopt the name Columbianum, until they knew it to be the distinguishing name taken by the national college of artists, convened at Mr. Groombridge's?
PHILADELPHIA, March 9.
We hear that the TREATY between the United States and Great Britain, arrived in town on Saturday morning.
Thomas Blount, Esq. is re-elected a member of the House of the Representatives of the Congress of the United States.
Dempsey Burgess, Esq. is elected in the room of Mr. Dawson—From the other districts, we have received no certain accounts.
A Correspondent remarks, that two Members of the Columbianum or National College, alluded to by Mr. Bache's correspondent in his Saturday's Aurora, in reply to our correspondent in Friday's paper, are represented in the Aurora as if they were the whole body of members—Our correspondent observes in reply, that, if plain language is to be grossly perverted in this way merely to puzzle the public, it certainly requires a helping hand; that is to say, supposing the band to have an instrument of correction in it. But perhaps that was the meaning of Mr. Bache's correspondent; for such an inexplicit mistake might very possibly have escaped him, as his letter seems rather hasty.
By this Day's Mail.
NORFOLK, Feb. 25. By a gentleman from Martinique, we are favored with the following account of the capture of the Lepique frigate: That the French having intimation of ten transports with troops being arrived off Guadaloupe, sent the Lepique frigate of 44 guns to protect them from the British frigate the Blanche
of 32 guns, which was cruising to intercept the transports; both frigates meeting, a terrible engagement took place, which lasted upwards of four hours, during which the French attempted to board the Blanche three different times, but were each time repulsed with great slaughter; the Lepique having lost her fore-top-mast, her fore-yard got fast in the shrouds of the Blanche, which gave her the opportunity of raking the Lepique, who still defended herself with great bravery until the Bellona hove in sight, when she struck. The Captain and a Lieutenant of the Blanche were killed, and upwards of 74 of the crew; the slaughter on board the Lepique was great. Both frigates were obliged to be towed into Martinique.

Messrs. Printers, Please to insert the following paragraph in a letter from a gentleman who was in the expedition, to his friend in this City.
A French fleet consisting of the Experiment of 60 guns, the Vigilant of 32 and Felicity of 32, and four brigs with heavy 12 pounders and furnaces for heating the shot and well manned. Took on their passage several Liverpool men, and destroyed on the Coast of Guinea a Factory on the Isle de Los, then proceeded to the New settlement of Serre Leone which was completely destroyed and laid in Ashes tho' defended by three batteries consisting of 36 guns 12 and 9 pounders and defended by 1400 men, mostly Blacks, burnt all the ships in harbour and took several coming in. After this three of the vessels proceeded up the river and destroyed Batin Island, a Factory mounting 30 guns and of great consequence, with a large amount of property &c. This is but a prelude to greater feats which you shall shortly have from yours.

NATIONAL CONVENTION. Dec. 8.
The Consul General of the Commune of Avignon, writes, "that it would require whole volumes to relate all the horrors committed by the most detestable villain who ever appeared on the earth by one of those monsters which nature sometimes produces to scourge mankind by the infamous Maiguet, the friend the correspondent, the co-deputy of Couthon. Justice! Cry all the citizens of the department of Vaucluse,—Justice, Representatives, against the tigers who have torn out the entrails of our fathers, our wives, our children, and our friends! Justice! against the Cannibals who have drenched themselves in the blood of the purest patriots, and who, if you had not arrested the course of their crimes, would have buried the Republic under heaps of ashes and the carcasses of their fellow-citizens!
Reubel, in a debate concerning shutting up the hall of the Jacobins, spoke as follows:
"Where has tyranny been organized? Where has it found supporters and satellites? At the Jacobin Club. Who has forced terror and despair into the hearts of all the citizens? Who has covered France with Baffles? Who has rendered Republicanism so odious that slaves have rejected it? Have not the Jacobins done all this? They will not have the impudence to deny it." (Applauded.)
"If you want the courage to speak out, I announce to you that you will have no Republic because you have Jacobins." Applauded.
9th December. Thibadeau. We have just exercised a great act of Justice in favor of several of our colleagues, but it yet remains for us to do justice to a man who has been one of the chief authors of our Constitution Thomas Paine—That man who has done so much for liberty; he was driven from his seat by the intrigues of an ambitious fashion under the specious pretext of his being a foreigner, though he had become a citizen of France, by naturalization. He still exists, but in the most extreme misery. I propose that we declare he is not included in the decree which prevents foreigners from holding a seat in the Convention. It was hereupon decreed, that Thomas Paine is not included in the above mentioned decree, That the Convention receives him again into her bosom, and that he is entitled to receive the arrears of pay due to him as a member. (Lively applause.)
Extract from the address of the Public Accuser, to the Jury of the Revolutionary Tribunal, on the trial of CARRIER.
The late administrators of the revolutionary government, which was formed to establish liberty, have almost annihilated it. Their despotism despised all principles—all that has ever been held sacred in all ages of the world, humanity, truth, justice, modesty, nature, have been trodden under foot. Oh disastrous! Oh horrible days! When from one extremity of France to the other—resounded this fearful cry—"Terror is the order of the day." The land of liberty was covered with prisons and scaffolds; bands of villains spread themselves over its surface. Property was laid waste; the most infamous robberies were consecrated under the name of revolutionary taxes; the public employments were delivered into the hands of knavery and ignorance; monuments of the arts were destroyed; the workshops of industry were made silent and desolate; the riches of the churches were stolen from the nation; the most absurd and disgusting scandals were prevalent; weak and honest men were shocked by the vices of those who should have enlightened them; infamous priests openly boasted of their long hypocrisy, and publicly declared they acknowledged nothing but nature. Atheism was proclaimed; the Convention, indignant, proclaimed the Supreme Being; his name was instantly abused to consecrate the tyrant and tyranny. The virtues and justice, said the monsters, are going to reign; and they established the reign of the most frightful and unbridled crimes.
REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL. December 9.
Extracts from the TRIAL of CARRIER.
Vilmin deposed as follows:
"I have seen," said he, "the revolutionary convulsions of Carrere at the popular society at Nantz; he had the air of a mountebank, and at the same time of a tiger thirsting for blood. 'You my brave b—g—s, you my brave Sans Culottes,' said Carrere, 'don't you know that all the rich merchants possess belong to you? It is time for you to enjoy it in your turn. Denounce them to me; the testimony of two good Sans Culottes shall suffice to make the heads of all the great merchants roll in the dust.' The same witness declared, he had heard Carrere openly declare, that according to a calculation of the population of France, there were a thousand inhabitants for every square league; that it was demonstrable that the soil could nourish only seven hundred; that it was necessary to get rid of the overplus by killing all those rascals, the merchants, all the lawyers, bankers, &c. &c. He added, that the numbers of people in the cities were too great; that the inhabitants of Lyons, for example, were to be reduced from 160,000 to 25,000, &c. Another witness (an officer in the army of La Vendee) deposed, that there had been totally destroyed by Carrier's orders, above four hundred peaceable villages in that part of France, and nearly all the inhabitants massacred or drowned.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
An official Reporter, informed the assembly, that some time before Robespierre acquired his monstrous extent of power, a project had been formed to unite the rivers Loire and Eure, by a Canal, which would have been of inconceivable advantage to the inland navigation. But that all the monied men and rich merchants in those departments, capable of prosecuting such a work as well as in almost every other part of the Republic, had been either
guillotined, or drowned, or shot, or starved, and the scheme had miscarried. A member of the violent party cried out "because the rich are the enemies of liberty and the revolution." Another member rose with vivacity. Legislators! People! said he, That is the false, the diabolical sentiment, which has covered France with blood, slaughter, robbery and confusion; that horrid, that wicked sentiment, is the cause of all our present internal wants and difficulties—that has dried up every source of wealth, comfort and happiness; that has annihilated our commerce, and all our curious and valuable manufactures, discouraged agriculture, & put a stop to almost all the useful and profitable labours of the citizens, by pointing out the capitalists, rich merchants, and proprietors of manufactures as enemies to liberty, merely because they were rich. (Loud and long continued applause.)

In the House of Representatives of the United States, March 3d, 1795.
Resolved, That the Secretary of State be requested to receive proposals from any person or persons skilled in the art of Stenography, or capable of reporting debates with accuracy, and to report the same to this house, at the commencement of the next session, with his observations and opinion respecting the qualification of the said person or persons for the said duty, to the end that this house may be enabled to appoint one or more persons as officers of the house, for the valuable purpose above mentioned.
Extract from the Journal, JOHN BECKLEY, Clerk.
Department of State,
March 5, 1795.
Proposals will be received by the Secretary of State, in pursuance of the foregoing Resolution.
To the PUBLIC.
THE Subscribers to the work, entitled, THE FEDERALIST, are informed by the undersigned, that, on account of several necessary additions, it will probably exceed the number of pages advertised, and hopes, that in regard to the greater expenses attending an improved publication, they will not decline granting a small addition to its price, under the assurance, that the sale of it will be unavoidably enhanced to non-subscribers by a fourth.
He requests, at the same time, all printers and correspondents throughout the United States, who may have procured any subscriptions, to send him, by post, a list of them, together with the names of those editors, who, to their knowledge, have inserted their proposals, in order to make the necessary arrangement. Meanwhile, as the subscriptions obtained in this city are insufficient, tho' numerous, to defray the expenses of the publication, he finds himself under the necessity (being uncertain of adequate encouragement from other parts) to desire the continuance of their exertions for two months longer, at which period, if not before, will be finally decided whether it will be printed or not. At any rate, should he be compelled to lay by the originals of said work, he will pay, or remit, each of his friendly printers the costs of advertising.
James Ph. Puglia. Those Editors who did not publish in their newspapers, the former proposals, are excepted from this address; and it is expected from their peculiar generosity, that no advantage will be taken from it. March 6.

Applications, of Executors and Administrators, must be accompanied with legal evidence of their respective appointments, and of the time of the decease of the Invalids, whose pensions they may claim.

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 proved to erect two entire 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 Hotel 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 by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel 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.

Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James W t & Co. Baltimore; of Gideon Denton, Savannah; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.

"Here smooth CANALS, across th' extended plain
Stretch their long arms to join the distant main.
The sons of toil, with many a weary stroke
Scoop the hard bottom of the solid rock;
Resistless through the stiff oppressing clay,
With steady patience, work their gradual way;
Compel the Genius of th' unwilling flood
Through the brown horrors of the aged wood;
Crofs the lone waste the silver urn they pour,
And cheer the barren heath, or fallen moor
"The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees
The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees;
And views the alter'd landscape with surprise
And doubts the magic scenes that round him rise.
Now like a flock of swans, above his head,
Their woven wings the flying vessels spread
Now meeting streams, in artful mazes, glide
While each, unmingled, pours a separate tide;
Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow
And visit sulphurous mines and caves below.
The ductile streams obey the guiding hand,
And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!

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 intervalle or low land, calculated both for grass or grain, producing great burthens 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, set 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 exceeded 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.

Otis, Esquires, in the town of Boston, Cornelius Ray, or De Witt Clinton, Esquires, at the city of New York; James Gordon or Henry Glen, Esquires, two of the members of Congress, at the city of Philadelphia; Stephen N.
