One thousand Dollars REWARD. Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately discovered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter D, for their alphabetical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson , is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourish of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure. No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately issued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dollars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or procure to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz. The person or persons, who engraved the plate. The printer, or printers of the said bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. WILLIAM PATTERSON , President, of the Bank of Maryland. Bme, April 8, 1794.

MR. PHINNEY,
MR. BURKE, in his controversy with Mr. Paine, the able champion for Representative Republics, labours to prove the existence of what he calls "A Natural Aristocracy," of which he makes a superiority of talents, a principal ingredient. Not being able to derive his favorite Aristocracy from the voice of the people, he endeavours to trace it up to the dictate of nature, and to a sort of divine right. One of your correspondents, a "Canaan Democrat," seems to have imbibed a similar notion, for in a piece written expressly in justification of a political society, self created, and self established, he makes it one topic of his argument, "that men are social beings of very different capacities." Admitting this to be a truth, yet, to make his argument conclude in favor of Democratic Societies, we must take for granted, an intermediate proposition, which it seems your correspondent has not ventured to disclose, viz. that among the different capacities of men, the members of the Democratic Society possess that superiority which justifies them in assuming a censorship on the acts and doings of the constituted authorities. The argument would then stand thus, "nature has made a wide difference in the capacities with which she has endowed men; we have been favored by her with superior gifts; therefore we have a right to form ourselves into a society, which is to tell the common people, what are their rights, and how they must pursue them; what are injuries and how they must redress them; what are political heresies, and what is the test of political orthodoxy, &c." It may be asked if these men possess such a pre-eminence over the bulk of the community, how has it happened, that they have not been distinguished by their neighbors, and that in the great variety of constitutional offices, they have not been thought of, by the people to fill them? The Canaan Democrat, has an answer at hand; it seems that, "the modest and unassuming genius," cannot get into public notice in the ordinary way, and therefore that a political stage must be raised, on which they can display their talents.
All this is very fine, but I suspect it is not democracy; and I protest, it is the first time, I ever heard that modesty had any share in the formation of Democratic Societies. It is indeed not extraordinary that these Democrats, like the British Aristocrats, should endeavor to derive a pre-eminence from nature herself, as superseding the necessity of an election to office by the people, but I suspect that these gentlemen think more contemptuously of their less learned neighbours than they deserve. The Canaan Democrat may possess superior talents for writing in news-papers, and yet his more humble fellow-citizens may not be less useful members of society; he may be more able to discuss political theories, but they are not less qualified to judge of the merits of government, under which they enjoy peace and prosperity. But if this amazing difference of capacities really disqualifies the bulk of the people from judging of their Rights and the qualifications of their representatives, (which form a Democrat) it is time that we dismiss the trappings and expence of elections and of representative bodies, and commit all the powers of government to political societies, composed of men of superior capacities, and pointed out by nature, as proper to instruct and govern the rest.
While every sentiment in favor of the Rights of Man, and a warm attachment to the spirit and form of a representative republic, make me oppose the inference your correspondent would draw from the very great difference of men's capacities, I cheerfully concur with him in maintaining that our constitutions, both state, and federal, are in a high degree democratical. He justly observes that this is evident from the forms of proceedings in our courts of justice, and indeed no man who considers the form of our government, and the manner in which it is administered, can avoid seeing that no power whatsoever, can be constitutionally exerted, unless it be derived from the People. But it is not strange, that this truth should be made a topic from which to prove the propriety of political clubs and Democratic Societies? The result in my mind is entirely the reverse. The sovereignty of the states resides in the people, and is exercised by the Right of Suffrage, that darling attribute of a representative republic, the preservation of which inviolate, insures our public liberty. The result then is that the people have by a solemn compact established certain forms of government, in which they explicitly
ly declare what powers they will exercise in person, and what shall be exercised by their representatives. So have said the people; but what say the Democratic Societies? The people have reposed too much confidence in their representatives, and we will form ourselves into clubs to watch over, and censure [but never praise] the conduct of these representatives. The people have deemed themselves competent by the Right of Suffrage to choose persons, proper to represent them; but we know better, we know that from the great difference of capacities among men, the people require individuals of superior talents to take the guardianship over them to rouse them from that lethargy, into which they will sink by the unfrequency of elections, and modestly to point out to them, whom they ought to choose as "haters of every species of deception, intrigue, and intricate policy."
The people, in short, have declared how far their governments shall be democratical; but certain societies say, that they shall be still more democratical; so they say, while the measures they adopt for this purpose; are strictly aristocratical, as setting up a part, as superior to the whole, and arrogating to individuals, a degree of wisdom and integrity, superior to that of the whole community. I will not pretend to say, that such proceedings come under any precise, or formal species of criminality; but it favours much of that, which the French emphatically stile the crime of lese nation , as being an opposition by individuals to the public will, as marked out in the national constitutions. Your correspondent has reminded us, that we have not, as the French have, primary assemblies, and I will remind him, that these primary assemblies, are not self-constituted, but established by the general will, that they are not confined to individuals but open to all citizens, and that the great difference of men's capacities is not made a pretext for individuals to arrogate to themselves, superior knowledge and probity. If the Democrat wishes for primary assemblies in our country, let him come forward, and explicitly avow it, let there be proper applications for making this alteration in our constitutions, and if it be the will of the people, let it be so. In the mean time, let him like the rest of us content himself with primary assemblies held on the days of election. He seems also to admire a Legislature consisting of only one branch, and as he probably contemplates the Abolition of our Senate I shall only observe that if this be the will of the people, I shall cheerfully acquiesce. Any thing in short but self-constituted Societies, the certain forerunners of aristocratical orders; any thing that will put us all on a footing of equality.
When the Democrat intimates that our Legislative Bodies may establish an interest in opposition to that of the Bulk of the People, he fears beyond the reach of common capacities, I always thought, that our representative governments, guaranteed by the sacred Right of Suffrage made the interest of the representative and the constituent, one and the same, and it remains for the Democrat to shew what motive men elected for one or two years can have, to devise yokes which themselves and their posterity must wear; or in what way, they possibly could (if so inclined) effect it. I know of but one way, which is for Congress to rob the treasury, expatriate themselves , take commissions under Citizen Genet, and thereby cease to be amenable to the laws of their Country.
For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr Fenno,
As the whooping cough is not a little prevalent I send you an extract from an English publication which contains a Recipe that appears to be extremely well recommended—Should it be of a service, it will compensate for the re-publication.
Yours
A. B.
Dr. Burton of York, published his treatise on the non-naturals in the year 1738; at the end of this treatise he has added an essay on the Chin Cough. "I ordered says he a scruple of Cantharides and as much camphor which when well mixed I ordered to be mixed with three drachms of the extract of Bark; of which mixture I gave the children eight or ten grains every third or fourth hour, according to the circumstances of the cases in a spoonful of simple water or julep, in which I dissolved a little balsam Capaivi; the children's drink was emulso communis or the like. By following this method, I performed the cures very soon, some in five or six days."
Mr. Lutcliff of Settle in Yorkshire, has for twenty years successfully administered Dr. Burton's Medicine with some little variation. He gives tincture of bark, tincture of Cantharides and Elix: paragon. This composition was exhibited in small quantities three or four times a day, and the dose gradually increased till a slight
strangury was produced; the dose was then diminished, or taken at more distant intervals.
The whooping, says Lutcliff, generally ceases in three or four days from the exhibition of the medicine. Sometimes the paroxysm recurs only once after the first dose, but an expectorating cough frequently continues for a week or two afterward.
This is doubtless a valuable discovery, and we are happy to find that the experience of Dr. Burton and Mr. Lutcliff has been confirmed by a variety of cases which have fallen under the care of Dr. Lettson. Monthly Review, July 1774.

LONDON, July 19.
The Earl of Moira has applied for his recall from the Continent, and obtained it.
The partizans of the ministers tell us, that it was at first right to attempt penetrating into the heart of France, and that it was impossible to foresee that the resistance would be too strong. But foresight is a quality essential to a minister, and the want of it in Mr. Pitt, has cost the country fifty millions of money.
If the Prince of Saxe Cobourg and his army should not be heard of in the course of a few days, we understand they will be advertised as stolen or strayed.
The King of Prussia says he has strictly fulfilled the stipulations of the subsidiary treaty. He has now on foot a greater number of troops than were bargained for; and as to how those troops are to be employed, it was not nominated in the bond.
The blue ribband which was generally supposed to be intended for Earl Howe, was given to the Duke of Portland on very solid grounds of preference. To accept of a subordinate place in the cabinet, under the existing circumstances, required a greater exertion of courage than to beat the French fleet.
If it be true, as has been reported, that the French have prepared a number of gun-boats at Cherburgh and St. Maloes, there can be little doubt of their destination. They must be intended to co-operate with the army in an attack upon Holland.
Couthon and Robespierre have complained in the Jacobin Club, that some of the Paris Journals bedaub them with fulsome panegyric. The taste of our Ministers is not so squeamish. Their stomachs can digest any degree of adulation.

EASTON, Sept. 16.
Cambridge, September 11.
The embarkation of the Dorset volunteers took place yesterday afternoon about five o'clock under Capt. Newton and lieutenants Tripp and Wright, by orders from Brigadier General Eccleston. One hundred men, officers included, embarked on this solemn occasion amidst the huzzas of a large body of their fellow citizens who had collected on the shore to manifest their respect for these gallant and patriotic republicans; and their veneration of those principles of genuine citizenship which regulate the conduct of the volunteers. The utmost good order, sobriety and cheerfulness marked the deportment of the troops. The scene called forth the most interesting reflections; and presented a happy preface in favour of federal republicanism as it evinced beyond doubt that law and energy—military energy, and freedom are compatible, and are reducible to the practice as well as the theory of the republican form. Such a sight must have staggered the most inveterate doubter in Europe on the point of energy and order in free states.—It was better than a volume of political philosophy to prove that a free country may be governed by law; and that free militia citizens, at the call of their constitutional magistrate will encounter any difficulties and dangers to fulfil the expectation of a free constitution—to quell insurrections and carry the laws of the union into execution! This morning they set sail at sunrise with a fair wind to Baltimore, from whence they will with the other militia of this state proceed to the scene of action. The long established military fame of Gen. Smith, who commands the Maryland line, insures them the happiest auspices. And while we sincerely implore success and victory to that officer and his countrymen, if the delusion of the Insurgents renders the use of arms necessary we still entertain the hope that a return of reason and sobriety among these mistaken men may avert the necessity of so solemn an appeal. Great praise is due to the address, good sense and activity of our Brigadier General of this militia district, for the prompt compliance with Governor Lee's general orders.
FROM CORRESPONDENTS.
We hear from good authority that in Dorset the most spirited conduct and sentiments prevailed on the late meeting of the battalions. Volunteers turned out and glory in a military service sanctioned by civil liberty and necessary to its preservation.
In this country nothing but information generally diffused can save our liberties.—Had the people of the Union been as ignorant elsewhere as they are among these Insurgents at Pittsburgh, we should not have seen the indignation against treason so general as we undertake to assert it to be in this state. But the enlightened citizens know that in a free republic law must rule—for law is the will of the majority—laws not men govern here. But if men are above law they usurp and are tyrants—Such are the traitors of Pittsburgh—such all the knowing anarchists of the country.
PHILADELPHIA,

Translated for this Gazette—from the Courier Francois of yesterday.
Extract of a Letter from St. Domingo, dated at St. Marc, the 2d and 27th August—to a friend in Philadelphia. (Concluded.)
Two bananas cost a quarter of a dollar; and they are obliged to give five or six leagues to get provisions. Every day from 20 to 25 persons die of hunger. "Vilatte conducts himself with some humanity. But the most cruel person there is a white named Rodridue; formerly a soldier of the Cape regiment, from which he was expelled. M. Cormaux de la Chapelle, and the old—are still at the Cape. Cesar Galbaud is yet in prison. Le Borgne will save himself if there is no treason; there are 7 or 800 determined men. Lavaux continues at Port-de-Paix—he is in a pretty good situation.
The evening of the departure of this vessel from the Cape, two American vessels entered that port with provisions. It is said that they have also some military stores—I cannot believe it.
We go out to day with the English commandant M. Brihane, and 1500 men. We know nothing here positive, of the affairs of Europe.
August 27. We returned with M. Brihane. Our enterprise has been very successful. We ought not to expect after the treason at Gonaiwe, to enter immediately on our states without firing a gun. M.
Brihane has begun to establish order—The negroes are submitting, and coming in from all quarters; they are here the sworn enemies of the Spaniards—who have per agreement with the English commandant, consented to evacuate la petite Riviere de l'Artibonite, where the English flag is now flying even to l'Artibonite.
To day we set off for Gonaiwes, Terre Neuve, and doubt not we shall return in two months, having other success—We shall soon be at Dondon, &c. &c. The same success attends Port-au-Prince, Cul de Sac, &c. Eight days since, Yacmel, (from whence the Commissioners Sonthonax and Polverel embarked in a French vessel) was taken from the negroes—The mulattoes favoured the coup-de-main, with some whites, and part of the legion of Montalember. They sent immediately to Port-au-Prince for an English officer, who now has actually the command there.
The editor of the Courier Francois adds in a N.B. "This was sent to the editor of this paper by a subscriber."
Nathaniel Ramsay, Esquire is appointed Naval-Officer for the port of Baltimore.
The ship Betty, Capt. Parker Phelps of Baltimore arrived at London, after a passage of 38 days.
At a meeting of the Officers of the First Division of the Militia of Pennsylvania, yesterday morning, GENERAL STEWART delivered the following Address.
Gentlemen,
THE Governor being called on his executive duty, which will detain him some time from the city of Philadelphia, has directed me, in case any emergency should arise during his absence, to assist by every means in my power, the civil authority, either by drafts from the division I command, or by such other mode as may appear most likely in connection with the Mayor to secure the peace and order of the city. Many of the citizens have already expressed a strong desire that a corps of men not included in the requisition against the western insurgents (or who, from peculiar circumstances could not leave their occupations, or are exempt from militia duty) should be embodied in the city and its suburbs, as they justly conceive it will afford great consolation to those worthy citizens, who have left under our charge, the sacred trust of their families and property.
The Governor has also directed that the commanding officer at Fort Mifflin shall apply to me for such drafts from the militia as may from time to time prove necessary to preserve the peace and neutrality of the Port.—This must prove a further incentive for such a corps being at this particular time organized, and I now propose that you immediately exert yourselves to bring forward from your respective commands or from such other of our fellow citizens as may be willing to engage in this particular service, Five hundred men properly officered—arms will be delivered to commanding officers of companies, for such men as are not already provided, but it is expected that no others will apply for them.
It is, gentlemen, among the first duties of freemen to be at all times prepared to guard the liberty and vindicate the laws and constitution of their country,—when called on to a prompt discharge of this duty, an apathy can only arise from our undervaluing the blessings we enjoy, or prizing our ease more than our security. The United States have been insulted from abroad, and at home; and as they are able, so should they be prepared to repel every repetition thereof. In a distant part of the state, where the burthen was light, and prosperity great, rebellion has boldly reared its crest, and dared to menace the union,—at the call of our Chief Magistrate our brethren in arms have nobly stepped forth, to chastise the insurgents, and avenge the injuries of their country the patriotism which they have displayed is the surest pledge of their doing their duty.—Let us follow their example, be preparing to preserve the rights of neutrality, our domestic quiet, our liberty and laws—they are it is true, so well understood and so highly valued by the good citizens of this part of the state, as almost to forbid the idea of any aggression among us, but freemen should nevertheless remember, that the surest way of preventing such aggressions, is to be at all times prepared to repel them.
Under a conviction that these truths will be felt and acknowledged, I have (during the absence of our brethren in arms,) made this call on the patriotism of my fellow citizens and flatter myself it will not be made in vain.
Philadelphia, Sept. 25, 1794.
Extract from the presentments in Burke County, Georgia.
We present, as the greatest grievance that the state of Georgia ever experien-

sed, that a banditti has settled lands allotted by treaty to the Indians, as a part of their temporary hunting grounds, in open violation of law and government.
We present, as a great grievance, that any man however exalted his station may be, should be allowed to escape his slave with impunity.
An Act to authorize the Governor to suspend the laying out a Town at Presqu'Isle, and for other purposes therein mentioned.
WHEREAS it appears, by sundry documents referred to by the Governor, that in consequence of an apprehension of some uneasiness arising amongst the Six Nations of Indians, the President of the United States was of opinion, that a suspension of the laying out a town at Presqu'Isle, would be advisable, until some measures were taken to quiet their minds: and whereas the Governor of this Commonwealth has, agreeably to said opinion, suspended the operation of the said laws, until he had convened the legislature; and whereas it appears, from the reasons above assigned, that a further suspension thereof would be proper, therefore,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the Governor be, and he is hereby authorized to suspend the laying out a town at Presqu'Isle, until the first day of December next, and from thence to the end of the next Session of the Legislature.
Sec. 2. And whereas the Governor, agreeably to the power vested in him, by the third Section of the act entitled, "an act for more effectually securing the trade, peace and safety of the port of Philadelphia, and defending the Western Frontiers of the Commonwealth," passed the twenty eighth day of February, one thousand seven hundred and ninety four, did draft from the companies raised by virtue of the aforesaid act, a certain number of men, for the protection of the Commissioners appointed to lay out a town at Presqu'Isle, and as the laying out said town has been hitherto suspended, and by this act the Governor is authorized to continue the suspension: and whereas the party so drafted as aforesaid, have made considerable fortifications at Le Bœuf, and that being now considered as a post of great importance to this State, and may perhaps facilitate the operations of the general government, and as the time for which the troops were enlisted will expire before the meeting of the next Legislature, Be it therefore enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Governor may, and he is hereby authorized, to enlist any number of men, not exceeding one hundred and thirty, to serve six months after the expiration of the present enlistments unless sooner discharged; said troops to have the same pay and rations as the troops of this State, in the same service, are entitled to.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That six thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby appropriated, to provide the necessary arms, ammunition, provisions, and pay of said troops, which sum shall be payable out of the aggregate fund, upon the warrants of the Governor.

RICHMOND, Sept. 19.
Yesterday at eleven o'clock, His Excellency HENRY LEE, Esq. Commander in Chief of the forces ordered out to quell the Insurgents in Pennsylvania, set off for the place of general rendezvous, which we are informed is to be at Winchester—He was escorted several miles from town, by the Richmond Troop of Light Horse, commanded by Captain Hicks, and a vast concourse of respectable Citizens.
About twelve o'clock, the quota of militia required from this city and county, under the command of Capt. William Giles, also proceeded on their way.
On Tuesday the 15th inst. the militia ordered from the county of Henrico and the city of Richmond, under Capt. Giles, were assembled at the east end of the Capitol, to be marched to the place of general rendezvous.—The respective quotas was furnished with readiness, and the men marched with alacrity. A Dinner was bospoke at Mr. Mose's Tavern
by the Members of the Executive Council and several other Citizens to which our Governor and the Officers of the Militia were invited. The day was happily spent, and the following toasts drank.
1st. The American Militia—May they ever secure Liberty, by defending the laws.
2d. The patriotic detachment under marching orders—May their expedition be as successful as it is virtuous.
3d. The Commandants of Regiments, whose activity in the discharge of their duty as Citizens and Soldiers has enabled them to furnish punctually the troops now required.
4th. Repentance and reformation, or punishment and contempt to those who have refused to obey the voice of their country calling for their protection.
5th. The people of America—May they never forget that the vital principle of a Republic, is obedience to the laws.
6th. Genuine patriotism—May its false votaries be exposed unmasked, and its real adorers be distinguished and beloved.
7th. The President of the United States—While virtue shall exist, while gratitude shall warm the American bosom, he will live in our affections.
8th. Governor Lee—May the citizen soldier be as successful now, in repelling the partisans of anarchy, as formerly in defeating the satellites of tyranny.
9th. Our valuable fellow-citizen and soldier, General Morgan.
10th. Generals Darke & Matthews.
11. The true spirit of Republicanism—May despotism, anarchy and faction sink beneath its pure and energetic efforts.
12. The American character—May it remain untarnished by foreign or domestic insult.
13th. The Agriculture, Manufactures and Commerce of the United States.
14th. The growing navy of America—May it be sufficient to protect her property from plunder, and her Sons from captivity.
15th. Peace, Liberty and happiness to the world.
☞ The Governor had been called out when the 8th Toast was given. The following VOLUNTEER Toasts were drank.
 1. The Republic of France.  2. Count Kosciuszko, and the Revolution of Poland.  3. The People of Virginia—May they be the first to vindicate, and the last to violate the Laws.  4. Col. Innes—May the success of his mission, equal the zeal and talents with which it will be executed. 
Died last night, Mrs. PRICHARD, the amiable consort of Mr. WILLIAM PRICHARD, of this City, Book-Seller.
BALTIMORE Sept.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Baltimore volunteers, dated Saturday evening last, the 20th instant, 7 o'clock.
"A gentleman this moment from Hagerstown, informs me, that about twenty of the principal insurgents are taken and committed; two others Baker and Boyer, have made proposals to deliver themselves up provided they can be protected from the rage of the populace. My informant may be depended upon as he was witness to the examination, and he described them terrified beyond every thing he ever saw: he is certain that the schoolmaster (a principal leader) is among those taken and he believes that McCoy (also a noted character) is a prisoner with the others. When the governor leaves this I feel a confidence that we shall be immediately discharged.
AUGUSTA, August 20.
Extract from Judge Walton's Charge to the Grand Jury of Chatham county.
"Possessing, then gentlemen, such an important trust in the interests of your fellow-citizens, and the community, how much above party prejudice, personal hatred, and overweaning attachment, should your minds be elevated. To my moderate understanding, and sense of probity, nothing ever appeared so odious and disgusting as mal-practices in courts of justice, proceeding either from a corrupt source, or from any influence affecting the truth and right of the cause. In speaking thus, I would not have it supposed that I fear any such conduct in you. I know you all better: But it is a doctrine so essential to public order, and private security, that it cannot be too often brought into view.
"This principle forces itself upon us with the greater energy, from the existence of that spirit of speculation which
seems to have seized hold on all departments, and orders of people, from the man in office to the tiller of the soil. Few things are now conducted in the ordinary way: before they can be efficient, they must whirl through the vortex of speculation. To be appointed to office, it is not necessary to be fit for it; but to be apt in the trade of this for that; to have acquired facility of combination, and political intercourse, and to consider successful deceit as moral propriety; but is to be hoped the good sense of the people will return to itself, and restore the estimation of talents, of virtue, and integrity."
Extract from the Presentments of the Grand Jury of Chatham county, Georgia.
"While we felicitate ourselves on possessing a government founded on principles the most conducive to the general happiness, we contemplate, as an evil of the most calamitous tendency, the daring attempt of some licentious and ill disposed citizens to settle themselves on the Indian lands beyond the Oconee, in contempt of law and good government, and in violation of the rights of property."
Extract from the List of Grievances contained in a Presentment of the Grand Jury of Wilkes County State of Georgia—July term.
We present as a grievance, that, contrary to a solemn treaty made by the collected sense of the Creek nation with the government of Georgia, the United States have by treaty, restored to the said Creeks, that territory known by the name of the Tallisee Country; and recommend that the same be reclaimed, and sold by our next Legislature, for the general benefit of the state.
We present as a grievance, that the federal troops stationed on our frontiers, said to be sent hither for its protection, instead of answering the pretended purpose of their destination, only furnish our savage neighbors, with provisions and ammunition, whereby they carry on their hostilities more effectually against us, while they themselves do not afford protection beyond the circumference of their own cantonment; and we recommend that the said federal troops be withdrawn, and the monies to be expended for the future protection of our frontiers, be paid to our militia when serving for that purpose.
We present as a grievance, that, notwithstanding the false representations, and wrong impressions made by James Segrave, Esq. Agent for Indian Affairs for the southern Department, thro' whose means the unfortunate people of our frontiers have suffered such repeated injuries, is still continued in office.
We recommend to our next Legislature that they make respectful and spirited remonstrances to the ensuing Congress, and give it in charge to our Senators and Representatives, to use their exertions to have a law passed requesting the President to carry on immediate offensive operations against the Creek and Cherokee Nations of Indians, by the militia of the southern States, the treaty made at New-York being null and void, as the Indians on their part, have not in any manner complied with the same.
TRENTON, September 23.
On Wednesday afternoon last, Governor HOWELL left this place, with about 400 Jersey Horse, and proceeded on his way through Newtown, Norris-town, &c. to the general rendezvous at Carlisle; and yesterday, Geo. WHITE marched with the residue of the quota from this state.
On Monday last marched from the encampment between this town and Lambertown, 600 Jersey Blues, being the first regiment of Infantry of this State, complete, under the immediate command of Col. Forman, and proceeded by the same route to the general rendezvous.—Among these were several volunteer companies—We cannot help noticing, in particular, the spirit and disinterestedness of a battalion in Col. Black's regiment, of Burlington county—25 men were the quota required, and on the day appointed for forming the class, near ten times the number might with ease have been raised—The class being complete, and each by lot furnishing a man, numbers stepped forward and immediately offered to take their places—some even offering eight dollars for the privilege—but, to the honor of the class-men be it spoken, they to a man refused all offers, marched immediately, completely uniformed, and joined the encampment—These 25 are from the New-Mills and its neighbourhood. The whole body marched in high spirits and in the utmost harmony, buzzing for the laws and constitution. The second regiment is nearly all arrived—General BLOOMFIELD only waits its completion, and is expected to march in a few days.
Major-General Frelinghuysen has offered his services to the President, to raise and march at the head of 200 volunteers, which the President has been pleased to accept—and we are informed that the number is made up, and will be marched on with all possible expedition.
By the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of America, A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS from a hope, that the combinations against the Constitution and Laws of the United States, in certain of the Western counties of Pennsylvania would yield to time and reflection, I thought it sufficient, in the first instance, rather to take measures for calling forth the militia, than immediately to embody them;—but the moment is now come, when the overtures of forgiveness with no other condition, than a submission to Law, have been only partially accepted—when every form of conciliation not inconsistent with the being of Government, has been adopted without effect;—when the well disposed in those counties, are unable, by their influence and example to reclaim the wicked from their fury, and are compelled to associate in their own defence;—when the proffered lenity has been perversely misinterpreted into an apprehension, that the citizens will march with reluctance;—when the opportunity of examining the serious consequences of a treasonable opposition has been employed in propagating principles of anarchy, endeavoring through emissaries to alienate the friends of order from its support, and inviting its enemies to perpetrate similar acts of insurrection;—when it is manifest that violence would continue to be exercised upon every attempt to enforce the Laws—When therefore government is set at defiance, the contest being whether a small portion of the United States shall dictate to the whole union, and at the expence of those, who desire peace, indulge a desperate ambition:
Now therefore I George Washington, President of the United States, in obedience to that high and inextinguishable duty, confined to me by the Constitution "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed"—deploring that the American name should be sullied by the outrages of citizens on their own Government; commiserating such, as remain obstinate from delusion;—but resolved in perfect reliance on that Gracious Providence which so signally displays its goodness towards this Country, to reduce the refractory to a due subordination to the law;—DO HEREBY declare and make known, that with a satisfaction, which can be equalled only by the merits of the Militia summoned into service from the States of New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, I have received intelligence of their patriotic alacrity, in obeying the call of the present, tho' painful, yet commanding necessity; that a force, which according to every reasonable expectation is adequate to the exigency, is already in motion to the scene of disaffection;—that those who have confided, or shall confide in the protection of Government, shall meet full succour under the standard and from the arms of the United States;—that those who having offended against the laws have since entitled themselves to indemnity, will be treated with the most liberal good faith, if they shall not have forfeited their claim by any subsequent conduct, and that instructions are given accordingly.
And I do moreover exhort all individuals, officers, and bodies of men, to contemplate with abhorrence the measures leading directly or indirectly to those crimes, which produce this resort to military coercion: to check, in their respective spheres, the efforts of misguided or designing men to subvert their misrepresentation in the place of truth and their disccontents in the place of stable government;—and to call to mind that as the people of the United States have been permitted under the Divine favor in perfect freedom, after solemn deliberation, and in an enlightened age, to elect their own government; so will their gratitude for this inestimable blessing be best distinguished by firm exertions to maintain the Constitution and the laws.
And lastly I again warn all persons whomsoever and where-soever, not to abet, aid or comfort the Insurgents aforesaid, as they will answer the contrary at their peril; and I do also require all officers and other citizens, according to their several duties, as far as may be in their power, to bring under the cognizance of the law all offenders in the Premises.
In Testimony whereof, I have caulked the Seal of the United States of A-
merica to be affixed to these Presents, and signed the same with my hand.

THE BYSTANDER.
Intrudes himself again on the public, with his cursory observations of last night's performance at the Old Theatre. The much admired comic opera of Love in a Village promised a pleasing repast to the lovers of mufick, and if he may form an opinion from a crowded house—the brilliant appearance of the Boxes and the general satisfaction that diffused in every countenance, he may fairly pronounce nothing was lost by the anticipation.
This Opera gives an opportunity of displaying the musical talents of a new candidate on the boards. The bill of Fare informs the public that it is his first attempt on any stage. Mr. Carr undoubtedly possesses great merit, and notwithstanding an evident perturbation of spirit, he performed young Meadows with universal applause; no doubt he will soon repeat his attempt, and he may assure himself that he will meet a cordial and unanimous reception. The Bystander recommends him to study a little more of the Suaveur in Modo in moving his arms, which may have proceeded from the embarrassment natural on a first appearance.
Mr. Prigmore in Justice Woodcock gives the Bystander an opportunity of rendering him an ample testimony of approbation his conceptions of the Character were (with some trifling Exceptions perfectly just—his Whim and humour kept the house in a Roar,—In such Calls he will always succeed—The Bystander regrets the occasion of reminding the performers in general that they often from choice personate Characters unsuitable to their genius—person or abilities, which will account for his remarks in this paper of the 24th inst. of Mr. Prigmore in Young Cockney.
Mr. Hodgkinson's Hawthorn was unequivocally excellent. Mrs. Hodgkinson in Rosetta, was perfectly chaste, and delighted all; but justice has a forcible claim on the exertions of Mrs. Pownall, in Madge—whose fame and character as a first rate singer remains undisputed—there is an archness so natural to this lady that never fails to please—any imitation of which, would be distortion—she was admired, applauded, and justly envied.
The Midnight Hour followed, and finished as if by a spell exactly as the Clock struck twelve—The performance in general gave satisfaction, but some parts appeared as if something was wanting; nor did the Plot seem unravelled till the concluding of the last Act.—It is not so much the matter of being perfect in the rehearsal of parts as the manner of associating the ideas of the author, the appropriation of time and rendering the different situations as little confused as possible.—This Comedy being originally written in French is full of those dramatic intricacies which if properly denoued, pleasingly surprise the audience.—Thus much from THE BYSTANDER.

JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale at Mathew Carey's Store, No. 118, Market Street, Price half a dollar, embellished with a striking likeness of Mr. Margarot,
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 crimi- nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal pe- rusal and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- est views and objects of the British conven- tion; and proves incontestably, that judi- cial prosecutions for seditious and sediti- ous proceedings are now more the result of the present order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constitu- tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment."
By order of the Court, DEARE, Clerk. Aug. 10, iawtf.
Lachawannock. A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers only, on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and nu- merous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, naviga- ble to the Susquehannah.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah.
It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well water- ed meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, to- wards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city.
Another means of connection with Phil- adelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every 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, Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phil- adelphia, or this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eodgm

Could to the youthful docile mind convey Peridious precepts, tell loose tales, And paint illicit passion in such colours, As might mislead the unsuspecting heart, And vitiate the young, unsettled judg- ment.

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