This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A neat 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, or at all events on Monday, the 22nd of December next! 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 drawing will be under the management of 24 gentlemen approved by the commissioners for the City of Washington, for the time being, and acting on oath.

Life of Howard. THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, BY  J. FORMROD, (Price 75 Cents) At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chestnut Street.  A VIEW of the  Life, Travels and Philanthropic Labours, of the late  JOHN HOWARD, Esq. L. L. D. F. R. S.  Embellished with a striking likeness of that Citizen of the World.  By JOHN AIKEN, M. D.  To which is subjoined an ODE inscribed to John Howard, by William Hayley, Esq.
FROM realm to realm, with crows or crescent crown'd,  Where'er mankind and misery are found,  O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow,  Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe.  Down many a winding step to dungeon dank,  Where anguish swells aloud, and fetters clank:  To caves bestrew'd with many a mould'ring bone,  And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan;  —Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire,  And murmur'ing demons hate him, and admire.
TO BE SOLD, By THOMAS DOBSON, AN  Alphabetical List OF THE  DUTIES Payable by law on all Goods, Wares, and Merchandise imported into the United States of America, after the last day of June 1794, distinguishing the rates payable on those imported in ships or vessels of the United States—and the rates payable in foreign ships or vessels, including the additional duties, to which the respective articles are liable.
Pennsylvania Militia. THE MILITIA, now preparing to assemble at the different places, appointed by the Governor's orders, of the 17th inst. will have to furnish themselves with provisions for their march to the respective places of rendezvous, for which they will be paid the price allowed for the rations by the United States. On their arrival at the said places appointed for assembling, rations will be furnished them.  ARMS ACCOUTREMENTS, TENTS, and CAMP-KETTLES, will be furnished by the United States to the several corps, at the respective places appointed for them to assemble, on their commanding officer's making return of the officers and men composing their corps, as they may arrive, for which purpose the greatest expedition will be used to forward the necessary supplies.  FORAGE will also be provided for the cavalry and officers horses which are entitled to forage, and the same will be paid for at the established price, from the time of their collecting in their respective counties until their arrival at the several places appointed for assembling.  Each complete company will be allowed a four horse wagon to carry their camp equipage; and the same for the field officers of each regiment; which the several commanding officers are requested to engage to serve for the expedition, and they will be paid at the rate of thirty-five shillings per day for each four horse wagon, and driver, furnishing their own subsistence. To accommodate them as far as possible, orage will be laid in at the different places appointed for assembling, and delivered at the prime cost to such as choose to apply for it; and in case the general arrangements should make it necessary to furnish them with forage after they leave Carlisle, an equitable rate will be settled in establishing the price of hire then to be allowed.  As the tents, with their poles, camp-kettles and equipage must in all events be conveyed in the wagons allowed to each corps, it will be necessary to restrict the loading wagons allowed to companies with baggage as much as possible.

MR. FENNO,
It is by men's actions alone, that we can form any just opinion of the measure of their attachment to the welfare of their country: For if the declarations of some people among us were to be considered as the touchstone of their sincerity—it would go to prove, that many of the most active promoters of the present unhappy disturbances, are the uniform and steadfast supporters of the laws!
The strange infatuation which appears to govern the conduct of these persons, is of a nature similar to the mischievous delusion which influenced the little urchin, who about three years since amused himself with setting fire to the stables and out buildings of the inhabitants of Philadelphia. This artful incendiary, stimulated no doubt by that rage for change and innovation which characterises the incendiaries of the present day, was the first to announce the flames kindled with his own torch; and by his exertions to extinguish the fire, acquired the good opinion of his unsuspecting fellow-citizens! It would be a circumstance highly consolatory to the friends of humanity if the initiators or perpetrators of similar acts of depravity, could like the unhappy boy in question, plead their youth and inexperience in extenuation of their crimes.
Upon the acknowledged principle, that the decisions of a majority in all Republican governments ought to obtain, it would follow, that every attempt to defeat the operation of laws framed by that majority, is not only a denial of the principle itself, but treason against the will of the people. Any man therefore who disseminates the false and absurd doctrine of legal opposition or constitutional resistance to the mandates of the majority, is an incendiary and an enemy to our present form of government. Laws may be repealed, but cannot be legally or constitutionally resisted. Of all the instances of this kind that have lately occurred, the petition of the snuff makers and sugar refiners of Philadelphia, challenges the pre-eminence.
These people were calm spectators of the inconveniences, to which the merchants of the United States have been subjected by a variety of laws imposing duties on every species of merchandise, snuff and refined sugar not excepted—Nay, they were totally deaf to the complaints of their brethren on the other side of the mountains, until the critical situation of their country, threatened by a foreign war and the consequent loss of its usual revenue, required that a small tax should be exacted from the consumers and not as they would wish us to believe, from the manufacturers of snuff and refined sugar. This, however, was the auspicious moment, chosen by these magnanimous patriots to evince their attachment to the common weal by incessantly laboring to render the law odious and unpopular, and finally to remove every doubt with respect to the purity of their intentions, they have formally solicited the patriotic Legislature of Pennsylvania to co-operate with them, in their opposition to the government of the Union. Perhaps the next memorial, may contain a proposition for arming in defence of the opponents of excise laws!!!
Among the other arguments (if they deserve to be called such) to which these ingenious gentlemen have reached, in order to shew, why the people of the United States, ought not to exercise the right of raising a revenue in such manner as to them may appear best, they adduce the address of the Congress of 1774 to the inhabitants of Canada—in which address among other things Congress advert to the odious nature of British excise laws. Gracious Heaven! As if there was any analogy between a tax imposed by a Foreign Legislature, in which we had no voice, and a tax laid by representatives of our own choosing, and whose states are equally liable with those of their fellow Citizens to the operation of the law. In short, that the very reasons given by the Congress of 1774, and their successors for resisting foreign tyranny, should be considered as sufficient grounds for opposing laws constitutionally made and not subject to the abuses so justly complained of in England, argues either extreme ignorance or extreme wickedness in the persons who have thus endeavoured to pervert them to answer their own purposes.
The complaints of the people in the Western Counties of this state, on the subject of the excise law, are equally unfounded with those of the snuff-makers and sugar-refiners; and their attempt to resist it by force, during the present gloomy state of our political ho-
riso, will stamp a degree of infamy upon the authors of it, not easily to be effaced. The reasons assigned by Mr. White for the unjustifiable conduct of his constituents, are such no doubt, as have been resorted to by designing men, not only in the county of Washington, but throughout the United States, to delude and mislead their unwary fellow-citizens. The difficulty if not impossibility of framing laws, so as to operate equally throughout the Union is admitted by all parties;—but, it does not follow from thence that those who are the loudest in their complaints have the most reason on their side. It behoves Mr. White therefore to shew, that the excise law has had a more partial effect in Washington County, than in other parts of the Union—by proving, that the quantity and value of the whisky, has diminished in consequence of the law, and that the Distillers and not the traders to whom it is passed away in exchange for other goods, pays the duty.
I shall conclude this essay with observing that the awful situation of our country, calls loudly upon the real friends to a fixed order of things, to hold to the Government under which we live—a desire of change is natural to the human race—If ever there was a necessity however for resisting a change, it is at the present moment. The benefits to be derived from new systems are conjectural only—the evils that might possibly result from them are incalculable. Let us therefore leave it to time to determine, whether our situation is less enviable than that of any other people. When we separated from G. Britain, the task of framing a Constitution was easy—it was the work of a band of brothers.—Since that period the United States have been inundated with emigrants from all parts of the world, strangers to our language, our manners and customs—many of them perhaps unfriendly to our equal laws. Let no man who possesses property—let no man who earns a comfortable maintenance for his family, flatter himself with escaping the general wreck consequent to a dissolution among ourselves—there are hundreds of daring adventurers already among us, ready to seize upon the fruits of our industry—their numbers will increase in proportion to our inability to resist. Those persons who please themselves with the hopes of gratifying their ambition in an event of this kind will find themselves miserably mistaken: For as it is probable, they intended to confine their plan of innovation to the removal of their rivals in power, they will be supplanted by men, who unshackled by the ties of consanguinity and friendship, have nothing but their own immediate interests to consult and are therefore not to be diverted from indulging in all those excesses common to lawless usurpers.

By inserting the following extract from a sermon delivered by the Rev. Dr. Lathrop, on the 4th of July, you will convey some profitable truths to our fellow-citizens, and gratify many:—
“THE freedom of election is a matter of essential importance. Under such a happy constitution as ours, where the elective power is in the great body of the people, and the periods of election frequently return, direct bribery is not easily practiced. There are other ways, however, in which the electors may be unduly biased. The combinations of influential men to recommend and support certain candidates, may be as dangerous as corruption itself. The few who combine may have a particular design to serve; and, in some instances, it is possible, they may study rather to deceive, than to inform the public mind.
“Personal slanders, and infamous exhibitions, are always to be disapproved, as inconsistent with the freedom of parliamentary debate, and the purity of national manners. You may hang or burn in effigy, or you may revile and proscribe in a Gazette, an unworthy character; and you may do the same to a worthy character. And so far as you thus influence an election , you may prevent the choice of a good man as well as a bad one. To determine whether a man is worthy of our suffrages, we must enquire, whether he is a man of ability and information, of virtue, stability and firmness; of pure republican principles; and whether his interest is united with that of his country. Such a man, whatever aspersions may be cast upon him by political partisans, is worthy of our confidence. Though in particular instances, he may favor measures, which we had not previously expected, we are not hastily to reprobate his conduct; but to take time for examination; considering, that he may possess means of information, which have not reached to us.”

PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Thursday, July 10.
THE WAR.
Mr. Sheridan. I rejoice that the attendance of members having put the speaker in the chair, has enabled me to deliver a few parting words. I rejoice that ministers have now condescended to think that the House of Commons merits some attention, and to suppose it might be possible that some gentlemen might feel an inclination to make a few observations on the present situation of affairs previously to the prorogation of the Parliament. I rejoice also at the attendance of the members this day, because it has enabled a gentleman opposite to me to make a motion, which will enable the public to avail themselves of the abilities of a right honorable gentleman (Mr. Wyndham) and of Mr. Burke whose secession is the object of the other motion. I have to say, that the right honorable gentleman has served the public many years, and though I have recently differed from him in material points, yet I should have been happy to have heard that he had vacated his seat for the purpose of taking possession of an office equally profitable with that of Mr. Wyndham. Another reason of my rejoicing is, that the attendance of members will enable the right hon. gentleman opposite to me, to make a motion, which I have heard is to be made, for the erection of a monument to the memory of Admiral Harvey, and Captain Hutt.
The proposition which it is my intention to submit to the consideration of the house, does not go on in the first instance to do that which I think to be most proper in the present situation of affairs, to advise his Majesty not to prorogue the Parliament. I shall first make some observations for the purpose of obtaining information; and the effect of these observations will determine whether I shall not move for an address to his Majesty to continue the sitting of Parliament. If we were at an earlier period of the session, and if the events which have lately taken place, had taken place in February, I believe there is no man who would not have thought that a motion for inquiring into the causes of those events was absolutely necessary. Six weeks only have elapsed since the object of the War was explicitly announced. Scarcely more than that period has passed away since an hon. gentleman avowed that the war had for its object the extermination of the government at Paris—that we ought to employ the last man, and the last guinea, for the purpose of destroying the French Republic. In the same short period of six weeks, do I say too much, when I assert, that events have happened which have proved that the object of the war is wholly impracticable and chimerical? Do I say too much when I affirm, that I have a right to ask, whether the object of the war is still the same? Have ministers ever held out one expectation which was not followed almost with immediate disappointment? Not one! We differed with the minister on the principles and object of the war, but we did not deny him a man or a guinea. Application was made for powers more extensive than had ever been granted before—they were given. The minister assured us, that he had the most sanguine hopes of success. He applied for a subsidy to the King of Prussia, to an amount almost unprecedented. He applied also for powers to enable him to embody Frenchmen for the purpose of being employed against Frenchmen, what has been the event of all these applications? Disgrace, defeat, disasters beyond what were experienced in any former war. Since then all these hopes and expectations have been disappointed, shall we not enquire the cause? Are the imbecility and incapacity of the ministers to exempt them from animadversion? Are they to practise delusions and deceit, and are we still to be silent? I should like to hear what excuse they can offer? Will they say, that they have been disappointed by the King of Prussia? if they do, it will not be asking too much to enquire whether that monarch has received his subsidy, and what troops he has furnished in consequence of it. On this subject, I should indeed think it scandalous if the House were to separate without requiring or receiving any information. I will not suppose that the minister will assert that the King of Prussia is assisting the alliance against France, by besieging Cracow, and by massacring the Poles. If he state in vindication
that he could not have expected that the King of Prussia would have been guilty of such conduct, I reply that he was warned of it. That we assured him, that the King of Prussia would do nothing but receive his subsidy. If they alleged that they were disappointed by Austria, I shall still say, that such an excuse is wholly unworthy any man who wishes to have the character of a great Statesman. If they represent to us that the numbers of the French were so great, I answer in reply, that the Minister must have been aware of the French system of rising in a mass, and that he knew they would on any emergency arise, as he had himself said, “an armed nation.” I should be glad to know why, when these adverse events occurred in Flanders, the troops were suffered to hover on the coast of Hampshire, and were not employed in strengthening our force in Flanders? Upon military tactics, I do not mean to enter, because I do not understand them, but the general principle, that the object of the War has totally failed, is known to every person. It is known to every person, that the avowed end of the War is unattainable; that the Allies have been driven out of Flanders, and that they have been forced to act on the defensive on the frontiers of Holland.
On the sentiments which have been expressed by one Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wyndham) who is now reposing in the cool shades of the Chiltern Hundreds for the purpose of qualifying himself for War Minister; I shall say very little; if he were present, I should say much. But it is on account of some new political Alliances which have been formed, that I think the cause of the War should be explicitly declared now: though I should imagine, that as the times are so different, it would be absurd to proceed on the same individual principles;—yet, as I suspect that as the members of this new alliance in office are placed in important situations, a deeper and more stubborn principle for prosecuting the war has been adopted, and that these new appointments host the bloody flag to declare that the War is to be carried on till either the government of France is exterminated, or till England falls in the attempt. When I consider these intuperable bars which once prevented any communication with the Minister—when I recollect the solemn declaration, that a temporary dereliction of office, on the part of the Minister, was a sacrifice absolutely necessary to the insulted dignity of the House of Commons—when I remember that those declarations, though long made, were long adhered to, and even repeated in the last Session of Parliament,—when, I say, I consider these circumstances, and reflect a little on the unpopularity of former Coalitions—when I reflect on the disinterestedness of the characters in question, he must think that nothing but a paramount and imperious necessity has induced them to adopt their present mode of conduct—Have they acted in consequence of any admiration of the great talents of the Minister, and has this admiration swept away all their former opposition? Are we to believe on the other side, that the union is founded on the confessed imbecility of Ministers, who are to throw the management of the War into other hands? I cannot suppose that this is the case; for, however rational and well founded their opinion of the imbecility and incapacity of the Ministers may be, yet, I know, that the Minister possesses too good an opinion of his own abilities, either to acknowledge his own incapacity, or to give up the management of the War from a conviction of his own inability. The present mode of conduct therefore of these gentlemen, can only arise from an idea of the dangerous situation of the country—from a knowledge of the failure of every project adopted by the Minister—and from a conviction, that all petty considerations should give way, and that the case is so urgent, as to render the honor of the House of Commons a circumstance of no importance. Such must be the cause of their forgetfulness of all their former declarations—of all their former principles—of all their former pledges. If therefore I am right in the motives which I have supposed must influence their conduct, they ought at least to give the House of Commons credit for being willing to remain on their posts, in this period of extreme difficulty and danger. For these reasons I think, that we have a right to know, whether the cause of the War remains the same or not. I believe that, unless the wild project to which I have alluded, is given up, no person will support the War with vigour. On the subsidy granted to the King of Prussia, some explanation I assert is absolutely necessary. Explanation is also necessary on the subject of our difference with America. It is a known and incontrovertible fact, that
the present Administration is detested in every part of America. As however the Minister and his Colleagues have on a former occasion evinced such an ignorance of American affairs, it is not too much to suppose that they are also ignorant of this fact. America is divided into two parties, a moderate and a violent party. But whatever difference of opinion occurs between these two parties on political subjects, in this they are all agreed, that the conduct of the Administration of Great-Britain, for the last ten years, has been devoid of every principle of justice, and even of common sense. In this point of view, I have a right to assert that they may be ignorant of this fact, for when I read a paper some time ago, relative to Lord Dorchester's speech, the authenticity of it was generally denied, though Ministers might have supposed that Lord Dorchester might be guilty of as gross folly as themselves. In another place, to which, I cannot consistently with Parliamentary order, allude, the speech was treated in such a manner, that the Noble Lord who read it, was almost accused of reading it only for the purpose of sowing dissention between the two countries. I wish to know what authority was given to Lord Dorchester for making such a speech, and whether any steps have been taken by Government in consequence of it. If in answer, I am told, that the Negotiation with Mr. Jay (the American Minister) is in such a train that it would be dangerous to reveal any secrets, I shall certainly press the subject no further. But seeing, that after eleven years, the same miserable expedients of Annual Commercial bills continue to be adopted. Looking at Lord Dorchester's speech concerning that, even after Mr. Jay's departure hostilities may have been committed, and knowing that nothing can be done without the assistance of Parliament, I say that I have a right to receive some explanation from Ministers, and that I am furnished with sufficient grounds on which to move an Address to the King not to prorogue the Parliament. It is necessary also to recur to the situation and sentiments of our Allies.
We say that we cannot make Peace, not because we dislike a Republican form of government, but because we must have security for the future. Now, of all the insulting mockeries that ever tired the patience of men, this is the most insulting. We see that we are the dupes of all Europe, and that none of our Allies are to be depended upon, and yet we insist upon having from the French Government security for the future.
What has the meanest of our allies, the King of Sardinia done? Nothing but receive his money. What has Spain done? Has she co-operated with us in the Mediterranean? Has she kept so full of the line in Cadiz harbor, as she was bound to keep? Or did she fend out any force to intercept that great American fleet, of whose sailing she received such timely notice?—No. Is then the Spanish government to be depended upon? What have the Dutch done, who have been filed a maritime power, and have not furnished one ship? Is the Empress of Russia to be depended upon? Has she furnished a man or a rouble? Has Austria brought half the number of men which she promised? Is the King of Prussia to be depended upon? Has he not only deluded, but defrauded us? When we look to the state of our own nation, is the British government to be depended on? What was our conduct at Toulon? And how have we fulfilled our promises to the Royalists? Can there be any argument, then, more preposterous and absurd, than that we ought not to make peace, without having security for the future? Of all the powers in Europe, France is the only one that has proved she is to be depended upon, and yet we treat her as if she had no subordination, and as if her inhabitants were only an undisciplined rabble and mere banditti. She has not fulfilled her promises to her allies, because she has no allies; but she has been terribly punctual in all her threats: She said that she would, single handed, fight all the Despots of Europe, and she kept her word—she declared that she would drive us from Toulon, and she kept her word—she affirmed that she would chase the Prussians to the other side of the Rhine, and she kept her word—she asserted that she would beat the allies out of Flanders, and she kept her word.—The Minister thinks himself strengthened by the grand alliance. I think on the contrary, that the sentiments of the persons who compose this alliance, will be fatal to the country. I hope that, now that these gentlemen attach to themselves a degree of responsibility, they will re-consider their declarations. I trust that, when they know that their opinions may turn the fate of the war, they will revise those

opinions. They will I hope, recollect the wisdom and warning of Mr. Fox, and take the first opportunity of making peace with the reprobated Republic of France! I am yet sanguine enough to entertain such a hope; but, if nothing but a new effusion of rathness is to be gained to the administration, I will tell the Minister, that however competent he may be, the deluded nation will lose, and soon lose its delusion, and its patience. I have to regret the absence of my right honorable friend, (Mr. Fox) but that absence affords me an opportunity of saying, that none will think that he looks less because he is left alone. Some there are who think he stands on higher ground by being less surrounded. To that great man, the nation will, I know, turn at last, and they will find him like a great sea mark, defying and braving every storm.
I shall now move first, "For an account of money issued to his Prussian Majesty,"—and secondly, "For an account of what troops have been furnished in consequence of such money."
I assert that the Parliament ought to continue sitting, but I think it necessary to submit first to your consideration, the two motions which I have just read.
Mr. Grey seconded the motions.
Mr. Pitt said, that it was not his intention to trouble the house very much at length upon the subject introduced by the Hon. Gentleman, but before he should proceed to the main question, he should say a very few words in reply to some observations which had fallen from him with regard to the absence of some of those gentlemen with whom he had the honor to act. In the first place there was not the least idea that such a motion would be brought forward at so late a period of the session, when it was understood that all public business had been concluded, and that the prorogation of Parliament had been delayed merely on account of some necessary arrangements which were to take place; but in fact it was not altogether under the idea of no business being to be brought forward, that the gentlemen particularly alluded to had absented themselves. One of them, Mr. Wyndham, as the Hon. gentleman (Mr. Sheridan) observed, was not at present a member of that house, nor had he, as yet, actually taken upon himself any active department in the administration; the other right hon. gentleman (Mr. Dundas) to whom an allusion had been made, was kept away by a misfortune of a domestic nature, and no one would be more ready, he was convinced, to admit the fairness of that apology that the hon. gentleman (Mr. Sheridan) himself. With regard to the speech of that hon. gentleman, it appeared to him to consist of three distinct parts; first, he wished to know the object of the war; in the next place what forces had been supplied by Prussia, in consequence of the subsidy he had received from this country, and how those troops have been employed; and lastly, the situation of affairs between this country and America, the result of which was, that the house should recommend to his Majesty, not to separate his Parliament, but to keep them sitting by short adjournments, in order that he should take its advice in the present critical situation of affairs if found necessary. The first part he would answer, not in that equivocal manner in which that honorable gentleman and his friends had been used to speak, of the object of the war, but in that fair, open, and candid manner, in which it had been repeatedly avowed by his Majesty's ministers in their places in that house, and in the gracious speech of his Majesty from the Throne at the conclusion of the late, and the commencement of the present session of Parliament. The hon. gentleman and his friends, had either adopted their idea of the nature and object of the war from their own imaginations, or from the misrepresentation of what had fallen on a former occasion from his hon. friend (Mr. Jenkinson) whom they alleged to have declared the present to be a war usque ad internecionem , which was in fact a term first used by themselves only, for he had never heard it from any of their friends. It was not in his opinion a war internecionem , or a war of extermination, the object of it was the destruction of the present Jacobin system; in order to the establishment of some regular form of government upon which the country could depend, and with whom we might treat with security, and upon the effecting of which, the ultimate safety and prosperity of this nation depend. But should we despond to effect this great and desirable object on account of some few temporary misfortunes or accidental obstructions? It was well known, that Brabant in all wars had been the consequence of the success or failure of a continental campaign; and though it might be lost by the misfortunes of the present, he did
not doubt but the success of a future campaign would restore it.
Far from being depressed by those occasional accidents, which must ever be the lot of war, he felt as firm a confidence as ever in the ultimate success of our arms; and he and those who acted with him, were as fully convinced of the necessity of prosecuting the war, and straining every nerve and exerting the last efforts of the country to insure its success. In this opinion he was firm, because he was convinced the regular powers of Europe, whom the hon. gentleman, in compliance with the French phraseology, termed despots, still possessed resources sufficient to subdue and bring to a just sense of propriety and moderation those intolerable tyrants who now rule in France, whose conduct, tho' the hon. gentleman (Mr. Sheridan) sometimes wishes to become their apologists, cannot but reprobate. He contended that the object of the war was to save France from destruction, and not to make a conquest of her territories. It was a war not usque ad internecionem , but for her preservation. With respect to the second topic urged by the hon. gentleman, he thought it unfit to enquire why the troops furnished by the King of Prussia acted rather in one place than in another, because it might tend to prejudice the operations of the campaign to disclose such facts; but whether they existed or not, or why they were employed in one part of the world rather than another, it was not then a fit time to enquire. His Majesty's ministers were responsible for such treaties as they had advised his Majesty to enter into; they were also responsible if they did not use every means in their power to compel the performance of the conditions contained in such treaties; so much for that point. The last point contained in the right hon. gentleman's speech, was, respecting the state of affairs in America: upon this head he declared he should say very little, for the best reason in the world, because the time is most improper for any discussion upon that subject, and he feared that already the hon. gentleman had spoken more freely on that head than was consistent with found discretion. There was now in this country, a person empowered by the American government to settle all differences arising from former jealousies, or recent discontent.
The hon. gentleman says, that any person who has any common correspondence with America, must have heard how unpopular administration were in America; at the same time he admitted there was a Jacobin faction in America, with whom he supposed the hon. gentleman corresponded, as he was not in other respects, nice in the choice of his correspondents; with that faction, he believed administration were unpopular, and trusted they ever would be so, not only in America, but in every other country where Jacobin principles might find their way. But it was well known the hon. gentleman himself, and his party were unpopular in this country with all those who were the enemies of Jacobinism. Upon these three points the hon. gentleman proposes to address his Majesty to continue the parliament sitting by short prorogations, and if after what he had heard he should persist in his motion, it should have his decided negative. For with regard to the campaign, Ministers were to carry it on in the manner which might seem most advisable to them, for which they were responsible to Parliament and therefore it did not require the sitting of Parliament to observe the conduct of the campaign. It was not necessary it should be kept sitting on account of the Prussian subsidy, in order to observe whether the King of Prussia fulfilled the terms of the treaty; and it was least of all necessary that they should continue sitting on account of the affairs with America; and under the present circumstances, any parliamentary interference on that subject would be highly injudicious and improper. On these several accounts he felt that an address to his Majesty would be improper and unnecessary.
He then entered into a vindication of those gentlemen who had lately joined administration; in his opinion so far from deserving reproach it was an action highly laudable. It was now become the duty of every honest man to shew his zeal and lend the aid of his talents and his character; they were not now to sacrifice their country for puntillo because the contention was no longer about particular constitutional acts, about the mode of which he (Mr. Pitt) and those gentlemen might have formerly differed; they now contended for the existence of the thing itself our constitution and our country were now at stake. It was no longer about a mere legislative point disputed or what would be the best system for the management of India as on a former occasion; we had now to take care lest none of these things should be left for future discussion. He condemned the manner in which Mr. Sheridan and his friends had acted with regard to their promised support of the war for they had done every thing in their power to obstruct the operations of government, and disconcerted as far as their opposition could disconcert, every plan adopted by ministers for the benefit and advantage of the country or to the ultimate success of the war. After the first campaign ministers had done what they thought most likely to call forth the zeal and energy of the people, in the cause of which we had embarked, by proposing raising voluntary corps, by public sub-
scription; this they opposed upon the ground that it would be destructive to the constitution; the House judged otherwise and approved the plan—the constitution has survived it & is strengthened by it, and the success with which it has been crowned does honour to the zeal the loyalty and gallantry of the nation.—After some of our allies were exhausted by the war, and whose great military skill we had the utmost reliance upon, we proposed what was judged the most effectual way of benefiting by that skill and enabling them to continue their assistance, a subsidy. The hon. gentleman and his friends opposed this measure but the House approved and their opposition was again rendered ineffectual.—The next measure proposed as the most likely to be attended with success, was the embodying of certain foreign troops in British pay who might be the best adapted to act in concert with the disaffected part of their countrymen in France—this they also opposed though the House ultimately approved the measure: In fact in every shape in which their opposition could thwart administration it has not been spared.—He then recapitulated the heads of the several arguments he had used and concluded by declaring his decided disapprobation of the motions.
(To be Continued.)
PHILADELPHIA, SEPTEMBER 18.
The spirit of true patriotism appears to electrify every class of citizens—the number of volunteers that flock to the standard of the constitution and the laws, exceeds the most sanguine expectations of the warmest friends to the unity, indivisibility, and honor of the American Republic—The federal character of the citizens of Pennsylvania, and of Philadelphia in particular will receive additional lustre from the decided conduct of her citizens in the present emergency.
Governor Howell with the New-Jersey forces under his command, have marched from Trenton.
Letters received in town this day from Carlisle say, that all is quiet in that quarter.
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary—it appears from several recent publications of the proceedings of the National Convention of France, that the decree for giving no quarter to the English troops, is still in force.
Summary of Domestic Intelligence by this day's Mail.
In consequence of Intelligence of an insurrection of a lawless banditti in the counties of Allegheny and Washington in the state of Maryland, received by express from the Governor on Sunday last, on Monday morning by 6 o'clock, a larger number of citizens of Baltimore than was required, marched as Volunteers—they consisted of one Company of cavalry; 200 of the 5th Regiment, a corps of Riflemen and one company of the 27th Regiment. They were to be followed next morning by Capt. Bowen's Horse, and the residue of the 27th Regiment. The Baltimore papers say, that more than three times the numbers required, turned out Volunteers on this occasion. This is the evidence of patriotism!
Four Hundred militia from the eastern Shore of Maryland, are arrived and encamped about one mile from Baltimore. Governor Howell who takes the command of the New-Jersey Forces, has issued a proclamation for taking up and binding over to Court, such persons as may be found fowing sedition, spreading false reports, or attempting to injure or impede the public service in the present expedition.
The most villainous reports are circulating at Harrisburg and other places, that taxes are imposed on Cider, Apples and other agricultural produce.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
GENTLEMEN,
I HAVE the pleasure to inform you, that I have found our fellow-citizens, in the counties of Chester and Delaware, eager to support the honor of our government, and the authority of the laws against the violence of the present lawless combination. The defects in the militia system, the mistakes of the Brigade Inspectors relative to the extent of their orders, the insufficiency of the pay, and a want of information respecting the necessity and justice of the expedition against the insurgents, occasioned some difficulty and delay—but the moment the circumstances which have produced the existing crisis in our public affairs
were seated and explained the sentiments of patriotism pervaded every breast and a determination to aid the measures of government was unanimously expressed—The only question any where proposed was whether the insurgents had refused to listen to reason—and the answer was every where satisfactory that if they would listen to reason it never was intended to subdue them by force.
Permit me gentlemen to observe that the non execution of the President's requisition in the other counties to which it extends, is probably owing to the same causes, and may be obviated by the same means. I shall therefore think it my duty to prosecute the tour which I mentioned to you in a late message and entreat the favor of any accommodation in transacting our Legislative business that can be granted consistently with your duty and convenience.

MADRID, June 10.
The port of Bilboa has been blocked up for some time by a French line of battle ship and two frigates. Another frigate has landed troops at St. Andrews, and carried off some cattle. The news from our army in Rouillon is still of an unfavorable kind. The want of Cavalry is so great that they have been obliged to take 150 horses from the King's stable. The recruiting service meets with fresh obstacles in all parts of the country; and though the Catalonians have offered to raise 60,000 men, it is only upon condition that the King shall excise them from a personal tax for five years to come. Some bloody scenes have lately taken place between the Swift soldiers and the Spanish dragoons: the people espoused the cause of the latter: numbers of the soldiers have been killed and wounded. The states of Navarre, assembled ever since the 12th of May, have broke up; they unanimously determined not to prosecute their endeavors for a redress of grievances which still wound their freedom, 'till the conclusion of the war; but instead of supplying the army with 10,000 men, which the King demanded of them, they have voted only half the number.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Wednesday, July 9.
Barrere vindicated the character of Joseph Lebon, Representative of the people in the department of Pas-de-Calais, from some attacks that had been made on him by the aristocratic party. He then proceeded to relate several instances of heroism that had been displayed on the part of the French in the late naval action, in confirmation of which he quoted the testimony of the English papers.—The ship stated to have sunk, with the national colours flying, while the shouts of Vive la Republique resounded from the crew was Le Vengeur. In commemoration of this sublime trait of patriotism and courage, he concluded with proposing the following decree, which was adopted:
1. A model of the ship of the line Le Vengeur, shall be hung up in the vault of the Pantheon; and the names of the brave Republicans who composed the crew of the vessel, shall be inscribed on the wall of the Pantheon. 2. For this purpose, the marine agents of the ports of Brest and Rochefort shall transmit, without delay, to the National Convention, the list of the crew of the ship Le Vengeur. 3. The three decked ship, now building in the covered basin of Brest, shall be named Le Vengeur. The Commissioner of the Marine shall give immediate orders to hasten the construction of that vessel. 4. The National Convention calls on all artists, painters, sculptors, and poets, to unite in transmitting to posterity the sublime trait of republican heroism of the citizens forming the crew of Le Vengeur, in sacrificing themselves for their country. Recompences shall be decreed in a national festival to the painters and poets who shall best celebrate the glory of these republicans. Jean Bon St. Andre.—I demand, as an additional article to the decree, that the commissioner of the marine and co-
lonies shall give the necessary information whether in conformity to the law made to that effect, succours have been granted to the widows and orphans of the brave teamen who served on board le Vengeur.
This proposition was adopted, and the report of Barrere ordered to be printed.

Capt. Worthy informs that about 15th July an English frigate cruising between Madeira and Cadiz—fell in with four Algerine vessels which had flit out of the Mediterranean—they ordered the Capt. of the frigate to hoist up his boat and send his papers on board—which he refusing they fired at the frigate which shortly after got between two of the Algerines sunk them and took the two others—the Capt. says the above was authenticated before he left Madeira.
Philadelphia. September 17, 1794.
General orders.
THE Governor takes the earliest opportunity 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 manner he acknowledges his obligations to Col. Gurney and his regiment, to Captains Dunlap, Singer, and M'Connell, and the cavalry under their command; to the corps of Artillery; to the several corps of Grenadiers and light Infantry, attached on this occasion to Colonel Gurney's regiment; to the volunteer company of light Infantry under the command of Major M'Pherion; and the corps from Southwark. 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, anticipates a correspondent effect, in protecting 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 Pennsylvania have manifested their zeal to maintain 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 government, will as cheerfully fight to preserve it.
In addressing citizens, who have advanced 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 dispositions, and invite the assistance and friendship of the country through which they pass.
The commanding officers of the respective corps are requested immediately to report to the adjutant-general, a roll of their officers, men and equipments; and, likewise to prepare and furnish the advance and pay rolls. Such of the militia as with 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 provision will accordingly be made for ensuring a compliance.
The following order of march is to be observed by the quotas of the city and county of Philadelphia Brigade.
1. Capt. Dunlap's } Troop of Light 2. Capt. M'Connell's } Horse 3. Capt. Singer's } to assemble on Friday morning in Market street east of twelfth street and to march with the baggage in the rear by the way of Norris-town Reading and Harrisburg to Carlisle.

TAKEN FROM ACTUAL SURVEY. IT is with pleasure that the publisher has to inform his subscribers and the public in general, that the plate is now under the hands of the engraver, and in greater forwardness than was at first contemplated. At the same time he begs leave to remind them, that subscription papers are still open at most of the noted book-stores in the city; and that he hopes from the whole of them to be enabled to form such a respectable catalogue of names, as will do a credit to the work, as well as afford a reasonable encouragement to the undertaker.

The TRIAL
OF
Maurice Margarot,
Before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for
SEDITIONS PRACTICES.
“OF the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of criminal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal perusal and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the latest views and objects of the British convention; and proves incontestibly, that judicial prosecutions (or persecutions) and decisions are now more the result of the present order of things, than any old fashioned attachment to the laws or the constitution. 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 knowledge 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 government.” August 16.
Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, navigable to the Susquehannah.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah.
It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well watered meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, towards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 mile from many parts of the settlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the communication to the city.
Another means of connection with Philadelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own interest with that of the inhabitants, are disposed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one mile 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.

C. W. PEALE.
EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the suggestion 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, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, 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 anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communications 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 secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, sure a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disseminating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

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