JUST PUBLISHED, By Thomas Dobson, at the Stone House, No. 41, South Second Street. An Narrative of the British Embassy to China , In the year 1792, 1793, and 1794, containing the various circumstances of the Embassy, with accounts of the customs and manners of the Chinese, with a description of the country, towns, cities, &c. By AENEAS ANDERSON. An Embassy to China is an event which naturally excites general curiosity, from the ignorance which prevails respecting the interior parts of that Empire, whose jealous laws forbid the intrusion of any other people. The novelty of an authentic description of it must attract the attention of an enlightened people. The author has accurately related every circumstance which came under his own observation, with much information drawn from unquestionable sources calculated to gratify reasonable curiosity and enlarge the knowledge of a country so little known to the other nations of the Globe. Dec. 29.
Domestic Medicine; Or a Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of Diseases by Regimen and Simple Medicines , with an Appendix, containing a Dispensatory for the use of private Practitioners. By WILLIAM BUCHAN, M. D. Revised and adapted to the Climate and Diseases of the United States. By SAMUEL POWELL GRIFFITHS, M. D. Professor of Materia Medica in the University of Pennsylvania. In one very large volume octavo. (Price two dollars and a half.) The merit of Dr. Buchan's Domestic medicine is too well known to need any encomium; indeed the very extensive sale of the original work speaks its worth abundantly. But however well calculated for the climate of Britain, for which it was originally designed, it is obvious that it was not sufficiently adapted to the climate and diseases of America. The design of this improved edition was to remedy this deficiency, and to render this valuable and popular work more intelligible and more useful to the citizens of the United States, and the improvements being the result of experience and observation, it is hoped will render this work more truly valuable and useful. Dec. 17.

Literary translations of the French and English classics have long been a desideratum. The different idioms of the two languages operate forcibly against the student, who is frequently bewildered in the intricate labyrinth of phraseology. To remedy this inconvenience, an entirely new translation, clothed in an elegant diction, combined with the modern improvements in orthography, is here given, corresponding verbatim with the English copy; so that the reader may, by a single glance, perceive the sense in either language.
The Editor of this publication has spared neither care nor expense to render it worthy the attention both of tu- tors and scholars; should he be so fortunate as to succeed, he will be highly gratified in having contributed his mite towards the promotion of useful literature. January 9. 4tw

From the FARMER'S WEEKLY MUSEUM.
"I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious."
SUPERSTITION is not confined to religious belief: The Apostle Paul employed it in its broad- est sense, and the Lay Preacher, well knowing the extent of its influence, proceeds to exemplify how men of America, as well as of "Athens," may be, in all things, too superstitious.
Having no farm, but only a small garden, I can- not be styled Husbandman, the most honorable of titles, and therefore know but little of Agriculture. But when I see a strip of ground, with here and there a spire of very luxuriant grass growing on its edge, and wheat in the middle, like Joseph's seven ears of corn, "blasted and thin," I know that the owner dares not think for himself. Should you ask him why he sows grain, instead of planting the potatoes, he tells you "his father and grandfather before him did so." Here my readers, is an in- stance of a "superstitious" farmer; the example, even of parents, will not justify folly, and my neigh- bor, Lawyer Simmons, will tell you that a bad custom should be abolished. The yeoman who ma- nages a farm erroneously, and continues supersti- tiously to sow by the way side, because his father did, will soon have nothing but an empty garner for the officer to attach.
When a country physician talks about specicks to "sweeten the blood," and points his lancet to the collapsed vein of a coughing and consumptive patient, whom he drenches with milk instead of beef juice, I shudder for the meagre wretch, burnt by a heticick, and drained by a quack. I compare him to a state criminal in England, sentenced, not only to be hanged, but drawn and quartered, and regret that a useful member of society is murdered by a mode of practice in all things too superstitious.
A fashionable man, as the ladies call him, is more superstitious than those Indians who worship the Devil. A fashionable man, who wears silk hose in winter, and a thick pudding under his chin in sum- mer, who risks a crack in his neck, by wearing the cape of his coat on his shoulders, and whose dangling knee strings are social with every ragged nail they meet, is in every part and parcel of his dress too superstitious.
A young woman, who thinks that frankness in speech is a vice of the heart, who laboriously scans meeting the eyes of man, as though like a black snake, he would first charm—and then devour her; who never calls breeches by their right name, and scolds two hours when a case of balladry is men- tioned, I am certain would make a poor profligate wife, being in all things too prudish and supersti- tious.
No people under the sun enjoy such rational li- berty as the Americans, protected by a government mild and amiable. The man who acquired this fair inheritance by his sword, now maintains it by his prudence.—All of my curious readers have heard something of his character, all my grateful readers reverence it. Even the old women of my village, after reading his manly and moral speech, lay down their spectacles and declare "this WASHINGTON a clever creature." Now could credulity suppose that there could be found a solitary grumbler, in all things so weakly superstitious and so wickedly ungrateful, as to affirm that our government was tyrannical and its President ambitious? But shame to the "tardy gratitude of base mankind," not only individuals but "clubs" and "societies" of Americans, "seeing that by him we enjoy great quietness" strive to calumniate our chief governor, to turmoil his government and to cause us, in all political cases to be too superstitious.
The LAY PREACHER.
CONTINUATION OF
Foreign Intelligence.
From London Papers to the 10th, received by the Favorite.
LONDON, October 31.
A letter from Wisbaden of the 7th ult. states, that all the bathing-houses in that place are filled with wounded French soldiers, whose number a- mounts to 1200; and the late conflict before Cassel was so very severe and bloody, that on Sun- day, (the 14th ult.) about 500 slain Republicans remained unburied, who were, however, afterwards interred, leave having been obtained for that pur- pose from the Governor of Cassel.
Letters from Italy of the 29th of September, ad- vise, that several bloody actions have been fought by the Austrian-Sardinian army and the French troops: that in an engagement near Balestrino the whole Austrian brigade, commanded by General Argenteau, would have been taken prisoners, but for a battalion of Nasdali arriving in time, and deciding the action in favor of the Imperial troops; that another engagement took place near Galetto, wherein the Austrian and Sardinian troops, lost 1500 men, but made themselves masters of the mountain near Galetto, which commands the French camp; that General De Vins lies ill at Sa- vo, and that the insurrection in Corsica is entirely quelled.
November 3.
A loan of fifteen millions sterling is now nego- tiating in the city; and the terms of it will prob- ably be contracted for in the course of the next week, though the advances may be retarded for a longer time. There will be a competition. Mr. Morgan, of the Stock Exchange, is the ostensible contractor on one list; some of the gentlemen who had the loan last year have another list of sub- scribers.
Whilst the Baron and Baroness Stael have taken refuge in Switzerland, the secretary to the Swedish Embassy in France is arrived in London. The motive of his journey to England is not yet known.
A letter from Zurich, of the 6th ult. states that the difficulty of provisioning Switzerland with corn is greatly increased by all exportation of grain from Bavaria, having been prohibited by the Elect- or Palatine, at the most pressing solicitation of his subjects.
A morning paper of yesterday observes, in con-
spicuous characters, that government has received dispatches from Vienna, of the Austrians having beaten the French on the Rhine. This is the first time we ever heard of the news from the Rhine taking the circuit of Vienna in order to reach this country.
One Samuel Caradise, who had been committed to the house of correction, in Kendal, and there confined as a vagabond, until put on board a king's ship agreeable to the late act, sent for his wife, the evening before his intended departure. He was in a cell, and the spoke to him through the iron door. After which, he put his hand underneath, and she with a mallet and chisel, concealed for the purpose, struck off a finger and thumb, to render him unfit for his majesty's service.
Several journey-men, of different trades, were a- mong the most active of the rabble that insulted his majesty in the Park last Thursday. The high wages which masters in various trades are now compelled to pay their journey-men, has become a serious evil: it renders the masters subservient to their men, in order to have work finished by the time it was wanted; and it enables the men, by working only one half the week, to spend the other in public houses and idle grounds. Where high wages really prove a benefit to one sober man and his family, they enable ten to spend half their time idly, if not mischievously.
November 10.
THE HURRICANE.
The memory of man does not recollect so vio- lent a hurricane as that which was suffered on Fri- day morning. Its continuance was happily short. It began about half past one, and had totally sub- sided before four o'clock. The squall came from the north west, and was not accompanied by rain or hail. Its ravages were dreadful beyond descrip- tion; trees were torn up by the roots, stacks of chimneys blown down in every corner of the me- tropolis, houses totally uncovered, and numbers of buildings entirely demolished.
A BILL,
Intitled an Act for the safety and preservation of his Majesty's Person and government, against treasonable and seditious practices and at- tempts.
WE, your majesty's most dutiful and loyal sub- jects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons of Great Britain, in this present Par- liament assembled, duly considering the daring outrages offered to your majesty's most sacred person, in your passage to and from your Parliament at the opening of this present session, and also the conti- nued attempts of wicked and evil-disposed persons to disturb the tranquility of this your majesty's kingdom, particularly by the multitude of seditious pamphlets and speeches, daily printed, published, and dispersed with unremitting industry, and with a transcendent boldness, in contempt of your ma- jesty's royal person and dignity, and tending to the overthrow of the laws, government, and happy constitution of these realms, have judged that it has become necessary to provide a further remedy against all such treasonable and seditious practices and attempts: We, therefore, calling to mind the good and wholesome provisions which have at dif- ferent times been made by the wisdom of Parlia- ment for the averting such dangers, and more es- pecially for the security and preservation of the persons of the sovereigns of these realms;
Do most humbly beseech your majesty, That it may be enacted; and be it enacted by the King's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parlia- ment assembled, and by the authority of the same, that if any person or persons whatsoever, after the day of _____ in the year _____ during the natural life of our most gracious sovereign lord the King (whom Almighty God preserve and bless with a long and prosperous reign) and until the end of the next session of Parliament after a de- mise of the crown, shall, within the realm or with- out, compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend death or destruction, or any bodily harm tending death or destruction, maim or wounding, imprison- ment, or restraint of the person of the same our so- vereign lord the King, his heirs and successors, or to deprive or to depose him or them from the stile, hon- our, or kingly name, of the imperial crown of this realm, or of any other of his majesty's dominions or countries; or to levy war against his majesty, his heirs and successors, within this realm or without; or to move or stir up any foreigner or stranger with force to invade this realm, or any other his majes- ty's dominions or countries, being under the obei- sance of his majesty, his heirs and successors; and such compassings, imaginations, inventions, devices, or intentions, or any of them, shall express, utter, or declare, by any printing, writing, preaching, or malicious and advised speaking, being legally con- victed thereof, upon the oaths of two lawful and credible witnesses, upon trial, or otherwise convict- ed or attained by due course of law, then every such person and persons so as aforesaid offending, shall be deemed, declared, and adjudged to be a traitor and traitors, and shall suffer pains of death, and also lose and forfeit as in cases of high trea- son.
And be it further enacted by the authority afore- said, that if any person or persons within that part of Great Britain called England, at any time from and after the _____ day of _____ in the year _____ during his majesty's life, and until the end of the next session of Parliament after a demise of the crown, shall maliciously and advisedly, by writing, printing, preaching, or other speaking, express, publish, utter, or declare, any words, sentences, or other thing or things, to incite or stir up the people to hatred or dislike of the person of his ma- jesty, his heirs or successors, or the established go- vernment and constitution of this realm, then every such person and persons shall, on such second con- viction, be adjudged to be transported for 7 years, to such place as shall be appointed by his majesty for the transportation of offenders.
Provided always, that no person be prosecuted by virtue of this act, for any of the offences in this act mentioned (other than such as are made and de- clared to be high treason) unless it be by order of the King's majesty, his heirs or successors, under
his or their sign manual, or by order of the coun- table of his majesty, his heirs and successors, di- rected unto the attorney-general for the time being, to prosecute the said offence; nor his heirs and successors, for the time being; nor shall any person or persons, by virtue of this pro- sent act, incur any of the penalties herein-before mentioned, unless he or they be prosecuted within months next after the offence committed,
and the prosecution brought to trial within the same term, affix, or sessions, or that which shall next ensue after filing the information, or the indict- ment being found, unless the court in which the same is depending, shall, on special ground, stat- by motion in open court, think fit to enlarge the time for the trial thereof, or unless the defendant shall be prosecuted to an outlawry.
Provided always, and be it enacted, that no person or persons shall be indicted, arraigned, condemned, convicted or attained for any of the treasons or offences aforesaid, unless the same offender or of- fenders be thereof accused by the testimony of two lawful and credible witnesses, upon oath; which witnesses, at the time of the said offender or of- fenders arraignment, shall be brought in person be- fore him or them, face to face, and shall openly avow and maintain, upon oath, what they have to say against him or them, concerning the treason or offences contained in the said indictment, unless the party or parties arraigned shall willingly, and with- out violence, confess the same.
Provided likewise, and be it enacted, That this Act, or any thing therein contained, shall not ex- tend to deprive either of the Houses of Parliament, or any of their Members, of their just ancient free- dom and privilege of debating any matters of bus- iness which shall be propounded and debated in ei- ther of the said Houses, or at any Conferences or Committees of both or either of the said Houses of Parliament, or touching the Repeal or Altera- tions of an old, or preparing any new Laws, or the redressing any public grievance; but that the said Members of either of the said Houses, and the as- sistants of the House of Peers, and every of them, shall have the same freedom of speech, and all other privileges whatsoever, as they had before the mak- ing of this Act; any thing in this Act to the con- trary thereof in any wise notwithstanding.
Provided always, and be it further enacted, that all and every person or persons that shall at any time be accused, or indicted, or prosecuted, for any offence made or declared to be treason by this Act, shall be entitled to the benefit of the Act of Par- liament made in the seventh year of his late Ma- jesty William the Third, intitled, an act for regu- lating of trials in cases of treason, and misprision of treason; and also to the provisions made by ano- ther act of Parliament, passed in the seventh year of her late Majesty Queen Anne, intitled, an act for improving the Union of the two Kingdoms.
Provided also, and be it enacted, That nothing in this act contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, to prevent or affect any prosecution by information or indictment at the common law, for any offence within the provisions of this act, other than the offences hereby declared to be high trea- son, unless the party shall have been first prosecuted under this act.
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 3.
The weather had been so unusually severe for some days past, that the further embarkation of the troops and stores, destined for the West-Indies, has been almost entirely suspended.
The quantity of private stores taken out on this occasion is immense. Lord Craven in particular who has hired a brig for his own passage, carries with him sufficient stock of all kinds to supply him for a voyage round the world.
DEAL, Nov. 1.
This morning the Ceres, Young, from Virginia for London, drove ashore the Iles man of war, and carried away her mizen, sprung her main mast and received other damage; she is got into Kam- s-gate.

The transports are victualled for 3 months, and the officers stock of provisions are for the same pe- riod.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, January 13.
The bill, "to establish trading houses for the Indian Tribes" was read the third time, and the blanks therein filled up.
The first blank was filled with the words one thousand , before dollars. The second blank was for the penalty for carrying on any other trade with the Indians by the agents, one thousand , was insert- ed before the word dollars.
For the purpose of paying the agents and clerks six thousand , was inserted before dollars. The blank for the sum to be appropriated for the purposes of this trade, it was moved should be filled with one hundred and fifty thousand , before the word dollars.
Mr. Williams objected to so large a sum in the outset of this business. It is, said he, an adventure at best; when we have entered on the business and find it succeed, we may then extend the supplies; at present he was not in favor of so large an appro- priation—he moved that one hundred thousand dol- lars should be the sum.
Mr. Parker, who moved for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, supported his motion. He observed that this sum divided among six trading houses, which number must be established to answer any purpose, would be found as small as would an- swer. He recited the particular objects which were to be embraced in a commercial view, by the plan, and remarked that every man in the least ac-

acquainted with mercantile transactions must see that a less sum would be inadequate. The fund Mr. Parker had in view, from which to draw the sum wanted, was the surplus of monies granted, from year to year for the War Department.
Mr. Varnum said that he should have been better pleased, if the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Parker) instead of going into a general defence of the bill, had specified the various articles which would be wanted, and stated the probable cost of each—this would furnish materials on which to determine what the sum ought to be.
Mr. Hillhouse was in favor of appropriating the sum moved for—if it should not all be wanted, it will not be expended—but he should regret that the salutary objects of the bill should be defeated for the want of fifty thousand dollars.
Mr. Williams wished, if in order, that the subject should be postponed for a few days, for the purpose of inquiry into the state of the funds proposed, also to ascertain more particularly the amount of the specific articles which would probably be wanted.
Mr. Kitchen coincided with Mr. Williams—and the latter moved that filling this blank be postponed till next Tuesday.
Mr. Giles preferred filling up the blanks at present, and then to let the bill lie on the table till the committee of ways and means should report further to the house. Some additional taxes will probably be called for this session. If the blank is now filled up, a view of the amount of the funds necessary for this object will be had, and may be taken into consideration in contemplating the additional taxes.
Mr. Mason objected to Mr. Giles's idea on the subject. He remarked that if the blanks are now filled up, the sum cannot be altered without a re-commitment of the bill to the committee of the whole.
Mr. Sedgwick objected to filling up the blanks, he was in favor of a postponement for a short time. He enlarged on the necessity of being extremely cautious in appropriating the public monies. The funds are already anticipated to a great amount, and further anticipations will be necessary.
Mr. Venable moved to postpone the bill to the first Monday in February. Mr. Sedgwick seconded this motion.
Mr. S. Smith was against the postponement. He remarked that there was scarcely sufficient time to procure the goods. So as to have them ready by the time the posts shall be evacuated. With respect to the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, he thought it too small, he was in favor of a higher sum.
M. Gallatin entered into a consideration of the state of the finances, from thence he inferred the necessity of a short delay till more accurate information was obtained relative to the amount that might be granted. He said there was at present no excess that could be applied to this object; surpluses beyond the appropriations there certainly were, but then, there are at present on paper only, and it will require time before they can be realized. In the mean time additional funds will be found necessary to answer the current expenses, and to satisfy the demands on the public treasury.
Mr. Madison after remarking that he had very little confidence in plans in which the government takes the place of individuals, said, in order to mature this plan and render it susceptible of the highest probable success, he thought a short postponement might answer a valuable purpose. Advertising to the time necessary to procure the goods proper for this trade, he supposed that individuals would be the importers and that a few days delay would not essentially affect the main object.
Mr. S. Smith said that individuals would not be the importers; government must import the goods, individuals would not import when there was no competition. He urged the importance of attending immediately to the business, delays may defeat the great objects of the bill altogether, and when that takes place, the friends of the measure will be reproached with bringing forward an expensive and useless project.
Mr. Swanwick said there was one argument in favor of an immediate decision of the business, which had not been mentioned, and that was the present low rate of exchange. If a postponement takes place, an opportunity which has not occurred for several years, and may not speedily occur again may be lost, to the great injury of the public. Another reason he suggested was, that if we delay the business it will not be possible to obtain the goods in season. Mr. Swanwick then remarked on the great delays attending the proceedings of the House; the Journal is full of adjournments of questions from day to day, to the great increase of the public expenses.
Mr. Hillhouse, Mr. Venable and Mr. Giles, made some further remarks.
The motion for a postponement to the first Monday in February was carried, 45 to 40.
Mr. Claiborne then presented a resolution to the following purport, That the President be requested to cause to be laid before the House a statement of the number of trading houses that will be necessary, also a specification of the articles which will be wanted; and the probable amount of the cost of the articles.
Mr. Giles objected to the resolution; he considered it as improper; as it could not be supposed that the President was better informed on the subject than the members. The resolution goes to the objects of legislation which belong exclusively to the two Houses. The President will consider it in that point of view; he did so last session, and accordingly sent a similar resolution to the Secretary of War—It is unreasonable to suppose that the President will blend with his executive responsibility, that of the Legislature also.
Mr. Murray supported the general object of the resolution; he supposed that the information referred to would be obtained more fully and satisfactorily in this way, than in any other.
Mr. Claiborne enlarged on the objects of his resolution; he supported the propriety of the application, and insisted that the information could not be obtained so fully and completely from any other quarter.
The resolution, with consent of Mr. Claiborne
was altered by substituting the Secretary of the Treasury for the President of the United States.
The debate was further continued—Mr. William Lyman said it contained a very extraordinary proposition indeed; nothing less than this that the Secretary should give an opinion relative to measures proper to be adopted by this House. This was a novel doctrine, highly improper to be adopted by this House, and which he hoped would not be agreed to.
Mr. Goodhue opposed the motion; he said that he should think it more proper to refer to Randall and Whitney for this information.
The resolution was negatived by a large majority.
A message from the President of the United States was received and read—It contained a statement of expenditures from a fund for the contingent expenses of Government—Ordered that the usual number be printed.
Mr. Giles of the committee appointed to report a bill for an uniform system of bankruptcy, bro't in a report—this was referred to the committee of the whole for Monday next.
The bill now reported is the same with that which has been repeatedly before the house.
Mr. Thatcher presented the memorial of Jonathan Hastings, postmaster of Boston, praying an addition to his present compensation, for reasons therein expressed—referred to the committee on the post-office law.
Mr. Christie called for the order of the day on the petition of Robert Randall; the petition was again read.
Mr. W. Smith, after stating a few particulars relative to the arrest and commitment of Randall, moved a resolution for his release, paying fees.
Mr. Swanwick adverting to the title of the petition, remarked, that he should be happy to feel himself at liberty to agree to the resolution, as he certainly should had the petitioner expressed any regret for his conduct; but so far from this, he rather appears to censure the conduct of the house—He thought a very different mode of expression would have become a person in his situation.
Mr. Murray said, that circumstanced as Randall was, liable to a subsequent prosecution, he did not see how he could well have adopted a different stile.
Mr. Swanwick said, that the remark of the gentleman from Maryland suggested some different ideas to his mind from those he had before expressed, he should therefore withdraw his opposition to the resolution.
Mr. Read was in favor of the resolution. The question on the resolution was carried by a great majority.
The petition of Charles Whitney was again read.
Mr. Sedgwick moved that the petitioner should have leave to exhibit to the House the deposition of Silas Peapon to be entered on the Journal—this he supposed to be the amount of the prayer of the petition.
Mr. S. Smith wished to know for what purpose this was to be done? Does the gentleman mean to bring forward the deposition of Mr. Peapon to invalidate the testimony of a member of this House? Mr. Smith had no doubt of his being as guilty as Randall, and it would have appeared so had gentlemen come forward with all the facts in their possession. The House has refused to proceed any further in relation to Whitney—and now it is proposed to bring forward a deposition which goes to nothing short of criminating a member of this house. Mr. Smith said, he believed such a transaction was never before heard of.
Mr. Macon moved that the motion should be altered to read thus, "that the prayer of the petition should not be granted."
Mr. Sedgwick was indifferent as to the mode in which the question was put—He said he had no doubt of the truth of the declaration made by the Gentleman from Vermont; but still he considered the request as a reasonable one—Whitney was charged by the House, arrested and confined; the House has not seen proper to try him, but has discharged him—He now applies to have entered on the Journal the testimony of a man which he supposes will be of service to him—If the House think proper to grant his request he can make such use of the indulgence with his creditors as he may think for his advantage. Mr. Sedgwick was not anxious on the subject, let the determination be either for or against the petitioner.
Mr. W. Smith stated various particulars of the business to show that Whitney's request was reasonable.
Mr. W. Lyman opposed the motion; he expressed himself with indignation against the admission of Mr. Peapon, as a witness in this business who he said was a party concerned.
Mr. Sedgwick stated several particulars to show that Mr. Lyman was not correct in his ideas of Mr. Peapon's legal incompetency as a witness.
Mr. Buck said if there was no other motive to induce gentlemen to reject the prayer of Whitney's petition than a regard to him, on account of the testimony he had given, he hoped it would be granted.
If he is actuated by the laudable motive suggested by the gentleman from Massachusetts, he was willing to sacrifice his feelings on the occasion rather than be considered as the personal enemy of Whitney. He had full confidence that the testimony he had given on a public account would not be invalidated in the opinion of the house by a vote to admit the request of Whitney, and he again repeated his request that personal motives might not influence the vote of any member.
Mr. Sedgwick withdrew his motion. The adjournment was then called for.
Previous to the adjournment, the Speaker requested that strangers might not be introduced by the members into the South side of the Hall. The consequence of collecting round the fires to the right of the chair was a great interruption of the business of the house by the private conversations, which took place.
The Speaker added that seats would be placed in that quarter of the house, for the Senators who may see proper to attend the debates, but in future he hoped no strangers would be introduced there as had hitherto been the case. Adjourned.
Thursday, January 14. The House assembled this day at the usual hour; a letter was received from the Speaker, informing the House that by reason of indisposition he was unable to attend his Duty in the House this day—and suggested the propriety of electing a Speaker pro tempore, or an adjournment. The House adjourned.
Philadelphia, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1796.
A letter from Capt. David Dewar, of the Brig Eagle, dated at Nassau New-Providence, Dec. 25th, 1795.
"To Mr. George Sibbald, Merchant in this City, mentions, that having sold the brig Eagle, at the Havana, he took his passage in the brig Telegraph, Capt. Mariner, and sailed from thence on the 11th do. for Philadelphia, that three days after they were cast away on the N.W. end of the great Bahama Keys, and with much difficulty saved their lives, and about two-thirds of the specie on board, 34,000 dollars were got safe on shore—and that after suffering the most extreme hardships 7 days on a barren Key, they were taken off by the Ranger Privateer belonging to that place."
A letter from a gentleman in Charleston, of the 31st ult. mentions, "That Chief Justice Rutledge, on Saturday last, attempted to crown himself, but was taken out of the water by some negroes. It is said, he has discovered symptoms of derangement for some weeks past."
The People and governments of France, the United States, and Great-Britain, have denounced Jacobin Societies, having had woeful experience of their pernicious tendency.
In the AURORA of this morning, the American and British Governments have this denunciation retorted on them—but France, tho' fully entitled to the same "honorable mention," is omitted. Surely such partiality is not equality.
At a meeting of the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike Road Company, on Monday, the 11th inst. the following Officers were chosen for the present year, viz.
  President—Israel Whelen.  Managers.    Edward Hand,  William Sansom,    Abraham Witmer,  Jacob Downing,    Richard Downing, jun.  Thomas M. Willing,    Richard Thomas,  James C.

On Sunday last departed this life, and on Tuesday was decently interred in this city, Mr. GEORGE SEARLE, of Newbury-Port, in the state of Massachusetts—a merchant of a fair character, and respectable connections there.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, January 5. FROM FRANCE—LATEST.
On Sunday last arrived in this harbour (Schuylkill) Industry, Capt. Atkins, in 51 days from St. Maloes, in France. He failed from thence about the 13th of November, but brought no newspapers. His oral intelligence is melancholy; but nevertheless it is our duty to detail it. He declares that assignats have so much depreciated in value, as to exchange now at the rate of 3700 for a guinea. This depreciation greatly distressed and irritated the common people; who, after they had earned and received assignats, found it difficult owing to their unstable value, to pass them to any one even for articles of subsistence. They continually exclaimed against the new constitution, which they conceived the cause of their recent misfortunes; they even remarked, comparatively, on their situation when they had a King, and sometimes breathed a wish for the restoration of monarchy. They are at the same time very anxious for a peace, even with England. About a week before sailing, news was received of fresh commotions at Paris. These were other disturbances than those early in October, which he also heard of; the particulars had not been received. The people had not elected their representatives; and notwithstanding the prevalent disaffection, no eruption had taken place.
FROM GIBRALTAR—LATE.
Capt. Loring, from Gibraltar, in 50 days, arrived on Sunday, informs, that a fleet was expected there daily from England, with transports, to take on board a number of troops, destined for the West-Indies, and which were in a state of preparation. 2400 Troops were to be reserved, to do garrison duty at Gibraltar.
Extract of a letter from Port au Prince, Nov. 6. "Fresh troops arrive daily. Six hundred have embarked within the last three days. As soon as a sufficient number are here, Leogane will be attacked. Mirabalais has been several times attacked by the Brigands—but without success."
THEATRICALS.
On Sunday arrived in this port, in the ship Outram, Capt. Davis, from London, Mrs. Arnold and daughter, from the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, and Miss Green. Both engaged by Mr. Powell, for the Boston Theatre, each of the Ladies are tall and genteel—have an expressive countenance—and move with a symmetry unequalled. Mrs. Arnold is about in her four and twentieth year. Miss Green apparently 20. They will be valuable acquisitions to our Theatre, and we anxiously hope they will be engaged.
Other passengers, by Capt. Davis, Mr. Tubbs, and a Mr. Pratt.
Passengers in the Zephyr. Capt. George Lane and Mr. O'Leary, son to the celebrated painter of that name.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the state buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire rows on two of the public squares; from these draw- ings, 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 adventur- ers, 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 secu- rity.  The real securities given for the payment of the Prize, 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 num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects 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 materi- als, 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 fu- ture 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 more suspension indispen- sable.
