BALTIMORE YOUNG MISSES' ACADEMY. NOTHING, in this country, is so difficult to be met with, as good literary establishments, furnished with Teachers qualified to conduct young Ladies through all the branches of instruction necessary and ornamental; and if there are some good Schools in the principal towns, as they do not in common take in boarders, the benefit is lost to many rich families living in the country, which would, at any rate, bring up their children in a distinguished way. This gave the idea of establishing a Boarding School, whose plan was first announced to the public three months ago in the Maryland Gazette, and which has already de- served the attention and encouragement of some of the most worthy families in Baltimore. Mrs. Lacombe, a French lady, Directress of this Aca- demy, has endeavoured to join every convenience that could possibly assist her in giving the most finished educa- tion to her pupils. English grammar, geography, and arithmetic, are de- monstrated by Mrs. Beck from London, who is also qua- lified to give particular lessons in drawing. French is constantly practiced in the School, besides the daily lessons given on grammar by a gentleman from Paris, who was there a President of a College. Writing, common sewing, and every kind of embroid- ery and tambour are likewise taught affably. The young boarders especially are attended to with the utmost care; the house is ample and convenient; accom- modations abundant; servants and superintendants num- erous; in short, nothing is spared that can afford them either utility or convenience. For further information, application may be made to the right Rev. Dr. CARROLL, or Mrs. LACOMBE herself, South-street, opposite Water Street. September 8, 1795. eod3w.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
To the SPEAKER of the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
THE REPRESENTATION and PETITION of the Subscribers, members of the DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES, established at Frederickburgh in Virginia; and elsewhere in the United States— DISRESPECTFULLY SHAWETH,
THAT viewing with a deep and patriotic solicitude the present awful crisis of our affairs, verging from bad to worse; and influenced with an equal concern for the preservation of our own influence, and the destruction of the peace and government of our country, synonymous inseparable one from the other; we exercise the right of petitioning for ourselves, and, if you will please to give credence to our assumption, for all the commercial, agricultural and manufacturing orders of society.
The treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, between the United States and Great Britain, lately ratified by the President and two thirds of the Senate, who had full constitutional authority, without consulting us, to do the same, has nevertheless undergone our disapprobation, and received our unqualified disapprobation. Notwithstanding it is clear that the President and Senate had authority to act as they have done, as they have been wanting in that deference which is due to our societies, we look up to your body as the great and dernier resort; not doubting, that as you participate in the interests and feelings of the people, which we suspect they do not, you will receive our communications with more attention and respect. Altho' we cannot believe, that so long as you regard the constitution as a sacred and inviolable deposit, you will dare openly to attack the privilege and power of the other two branches, yet we flatter ourselves that our unwearied acts, united with the activity and discontent of individuals in your honourable house, will produce such discord in the general legislature, as will effectually render void the intention of that detestable contract. We cherish an hope indeed, that, if we can pit you one against the other, we shall be able to completely to shatter the constitution and laws, that one more bold exertion will lay the whole fabric prostrate at our feet: and that, in the issue, we shall be able to manage and govern the people without you, or through you at least, as our instruments. Such, we know, were the acts of the Jacobins in France, and so full and complete was their success, that the Convention became at last no more than mere puppets, agitated by those state jugglers, the clubs of Paris.
With the most lively apprehensions we regard all the stipulations in the said treaty as inimical, which are designed to counteract the intrigues of a certain European nation, who have long laboured to destroy our independence, and render us the mere instruments of their convenience. And as their cause is a virtuous struggle for the rights of man, altho' they have hitherto managed it rather awkwardly, and as some of us have the strongest private reasons to aid and abet their measures, every thing which they disapprove, demands our earnest opposition. Their success in the present war, which no longer appears doubtful, is superior in weight to every consideration of our own interest, foreign and domestic. Besides, when we remember the important aids that we received from Louis the 16th, in the revolutionary war of America, and recollect, that a short time before his decapitation he transferred the merit of all his services to the National Convention, it must be acknowledged there are no sacrifices that we can make, which will be too great.
But far be it from you to suppose, that because the interest of your illustrious, triumphant and magnanimous allies, has obtained the first place in our consideration, we have been indifferent to your constitutional privileges, or the chartered rights of the people. No! We are equally apprehensive in these two important respects; and, although they are neither so much endangered by the treaty, nor so interesting to ourselves as the cause of our allies, we shall endeavour to point out the enemy to you, where he lies in petto; for without some further information it will be rather difficult to discover him.
First, then, This treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation, seems calculated purposely, altho' not solely, to adjust and regulate our commerce with a foreign nation; which no treaty of the kind ever did before! And it has some relation likewise to our trade with the Indian tribes, which we suppose the negotiators thought was a branch of commerce that required regulation also!
Secondly, It has established a fair and equal mode of determining certain disputed boundary-lines between the United States, and the American territories of Great-Britain, which had been settled by the treaty of 1783, but not defined with sufficient clearness and precision.
Thirdly, It comprises a summary rule for reciprocating the duties and imposts of both countries, as they relate one to the other. Who ever heard of such a thing in a treaty of commerce!
Fourthly, It authorizes a man to hold an estate, which he had a right to do without it, agreeable with the treaty of peace: and it grants him a privilege of option for a certain time, either to become a citizen of the United States, or to continue an alien: and the benefits of both these articles are not equal to the privileges granted to Frenchmen, by the treaty with Louis the 16th; but this treaty was contracted before the institution of Democratic Societies.
Fifthly, It declares that a subject or citizen, who shall wage war against either people contrary to the laws of nations and the laws of his Sovereign, is a pirate, and ought to be hanged, without any further ceremony than is commonly exercised towards such vermin; who are the common foes of all countries.
Sixthly, It obliges certain patriotic citizens of the Southern States to pay their bona fide debts; which, having neither the fear of God, nor the devil before their eyes, they had resolved not to do; and in case they are still determined to act like villains, the United States are bound to make compensation, or to be branded as a nation of villains.
Lately. This self-same treaty is like the Grecian horse, and is filled with these and ten thousand other potent enemies, armed for our destruction, but so concealed that no man living can see them; but they are there; and if we ever admit the creature within our walls, it will be more fatal to us and our posterity than its prototype was to the citizens of Troy.
"Wherefore, solemnly protesting against the exercise of power by the President and Senate, in any of the foregoing cases," although the constitution hath entrusted them alone with that power; We your petitioners most earnestly pray that the representatives of the people in Congress assembled, who have not the least shadow of authority to interfere in this business, would so far give themselves up to a spirit of discord and delusion, as to attempt to set the treaty aside. Or if this cannot be done in toto, as we really wish, that they will at least adopt such measures respecting the obnoxious parts, as will remove the apprehensions of good democrats. As we well know that if you lay your hands on a single particle of it, the whole and the constitution of the United States together with it, will tumble into ruins. A single pin, taken out of the machine, will disunite all its component parts.—Ever since the arrival of Citizen Genet, when Clubs were first instituted, we have laboured faithfully to thwart the government of our country, and to rush into a war with Great-Britain. By inflammatory essays, resolves and speeches, we excited an insurrection in the Western Counties of Pennsylvania. By the same means we have raised mobs in all the principal sea ports of the Union to condemn the treaty without discussion. We have burnt the effigies of the negotiators. We have abused the President, and all the most virtuous public characters of our country. But all has hitherto been insufficient to raise such a ferment among the people as is necessary to destroy the constitution and remove the constituted authorities from their seats. The citizens of America are such a phlegmatic rational set of beings, that it is impossible with all our arts to work them to such a pitch of frenzy as would be proper for the grand revolution we have in view. Pardon us therefore, if to you, as the sheet-anchor of our hopes, we submit our almost desperate cause; as we are fully convinced that unless you assist in your legislative capacity, to introduce anarchy, confusion and war into your country, we shall be obliged to submit with the rest of our fellow citizens, to partake of the common benefits of subordination and peace.
Foreign Advices.
Continuation of Intelligence by the ship Montezuma, arrived at Baltimore.
LONDON, July 22.
We this morning received a Paris Journal of the 18th, which is so far interesting, as it contains a kind of journal from Vanves, of the proceedings on the coast of Brittany.
It appears by a dispatch read in the convention, that the war is vigorously carried on on the boarders of Italy, and that the Austrians are in superior force; notwithstanding which the French, in their usual way, report the advantages to be generally on their side.
PARIS, July 18.
Little is said in the Convention about the descent in Brittany, but it does not the less occupy the minds of the people. There are many in this capital with their best wishes favour its success.
The following is an official account of the proceedings upon the coast of Morbihan, which however has not been produced in the Convention. Its authenticity, notwithstanding may be relied upon.
VANNES 13th Messidor—July 10.
The reports, which have been mentioned had spread with respect to the conduct of the ships which, in the beginning of the present month fell into the hands of the English, begin now to disappear; the veil is broken; it now appears that the three ships, the Alexander, the Formidable, and the Tigre, fought with all the energy possible; Le Peuple, of 120 guns, also did every thing which was physically possible, to prevent this, as well as to protect the retreat after the battle. The reputation of other ships is not so favourable, but we are not yet sufficiently informed to decide on them.
The troops arrived here yesterday under the command of general Jomez, set out last night on their return to Auray.
An alteration has just taken place with respect to the secrecy with which our operations are carried on; formerly every intended expedition was known a day before it was undertaken; but at present a number of troops are seen to pass through this place, and the only thing we know of their destination is, that they are marching to Auray. In public, the position of the enemy is only talked of as if they had been 150 leagues off.
12th Messidor, July 2.
Yesterday at noon and last night, troops have constantly passed through this town. A column arrived two days from Rouen, which is 25 leagues distance hence. General Drot yesterday took the command of them. They have with them eight pieces of cannon and three howitzers. They marched at eight this morning to Auray, accompanied by Hoche, the general in chief.
A detachment sent to Nede, to protect the cutting and loading some wood upon about 50 wagons, found in a castle an assemblage of Chouans, who, although four to one in number, had the kindness to take flight, leaving our brethren the dinner.
I shall not make long details upon the attachment of our brave troops to the cause; I must only say, that half of them at least are without shoes, and are in want of every thing, on account of the price of assignats, which amounts to a cypher; but no murmuring is heard; they fly to the field of honor as if they had no other wants but to do other wants but to do their duty.
It is asserted this evening that the emigrants are posted near the commune of Carnac, in the advantageous position known under the name of Camp de Cascar.
The English continue in their station in the bay of Quiberon, where are also at anchor the trans-
ports which vomited the emigrants on our coasts; but why, I hope, are come to find their grave.
15th Messidor—July 3.
A cannonading continued all last night, and till 8 this morning; but it appears it was the attack of Quiberon, which is continued. Nothing happened yesterday except the continued passage of troops marching all to the same point.
At six in the evening a part of our army reconnoitred under the very cannon of the enemy; but retreated as soon as they saw the superiority of the enemy in point of number.
The arrival of the troops and the artillery has been retarded by a measure taken by the traitors of the interior, who cut down all the bridges on the roads which led thither, but many of them have already been repaired.
16th Messidor—July 4.
The troops are passing continually. There was a report, which is now confirmed, that the emigrants has taken the town of Landerant, half way between Auray and Huelgouet. Three of our columns have attacked them in three points. Our column of the centre and the general-in-chief have done the most mischief to the enemy; they threw them into confusion; they were forced to leave behind them a considerable convoy, consisting of 3 waggons laden with firelocks and fine gunpowder, together with some waggons of English saddles and bridles, red Caramagnoles, and other articles of clothing, without reckoning a number of sabres, and one hundred pair of pistols, which remained on the field of battle, or were thrown away during the flight.
We are also informed that they have 700 cavalry with them.
18th Messidor—July 6.
Nothing new is mentioned during the whole day. Citizen Dotta is much praised for being the first who threw himself yesterday into the entrenchments of the enemy, crying out "Let the whole column follow me!" which was executed with great impetuosity.
Six in the evening.—A report prevails of some movements down the river, but no particulars are yet known.
Ten o'clock.—An engagement of posts has just taken place, and turned out entirely to our advantage.
19th Messidor—July 7.
Five in the morning.—Four English corvettes and two English gun-boats, entered the river last night.
A French corvette, two cutters, and two small armed vessels, were stationed at Port Navallo when the English approached: the first was set on fire, the two next were sunk, and the two others re-ascended the river towards Vannes.
Eight o'clock in the morning.—The English are at the island of Aux-Momus, a league and a half from Vannes.
Nine o'clock.—Nine hundred men returned from Auray.
Eleven o'clock.—The ships entered fearful of the movements perceived by land, have taken advantage of the wind and left the river.
Nothing has taken place during the remainder of the day.
BAYEUX, July 6.
On the evening of the 3d inst. a detachment of Dragoons, accompanied by a magistrate of Caen, proceeded to apprehend General Wimpfen, by virtue of a mandate of the Committee of General Security. Not being able to find him, the magistrate placed the seals on his effects.
CALAIS, 21 Messidor, July 29.
By a letter from Dunkirk of the 19th, we learn that the brig La Fraternite, of 18 guns, commanded by citizen Alcmes, has just arrived in the outer harbor. This gallant officer captured on the Dogger bank, off the Texel, three vessels, one of which mounted several guns, the other two were laden with hemp and iron. He afterwards fell in with an English frigate of 36 guns, which he engaged during six hours. He contrived by manœuvring, to preserve his three prizes, which were carried into Holland. The only drawback on the gratification which citizen Alcmes would otherwise feel on this occasion, is, that he has lost four of his gallant sailors, who had contributed not a little to the success of La Fraternite.
PARIS, July 17.
A letter from Port Brieux, of the 5th Messidor, says, "We begin to breathe again here in the midst of the Chouans. Defectors are continually coming in with their arms, and we have reason to believe that, before the expiration of 15 days, the department of the Cote du Nord will be entirely freed from the Chouans, and restored to tranquility."
By letters from Havre we learn, that English frigates and cutters block up their harbour, and prevent every vessel from entering it. Our fishermen have been kindly treated by the English ships, which give them plenty of biscuit for their fish, and promised them abundance, if they would support the Royal party, which had proclaimed Louis XVIII. King.
It is no longer doubtful, but that the English are again masters of Grenada, from which the French have been driven.
"Monsieur, now called Louis XVIII is gone from Verona to Turin, while the rebels are fighting his cause in Brittany."
The Committee of Public Safety has just nominated M. Noel to be the French minister in Holland. M. Caillard is to go in the same capacity to Stockholm, and M. Le Hoc to Berlin.
We have just received a letter from Rennes of the 23d Messidor, July 11. It contains the following details: The road from Alençon to Rennes is still infested with Brigands. Four escorts accompanied us successively. The two first consisted of 500 and the third of 1200 men. They attacked the diligence and pillaged it; but thanks to the valor of the troops who protected the deputies, they arrived in safety with the 25 millions for the payment of the troops. The Chouans surround the city in such a manner that no person can leave without an escort.
Letters from la Hogue state, that the bay is blocked up by three frigates, two large barks, three brigs, and cutters, so that the convoy sent from Havre a fortnight ago cannot get into Cherbourg.
One of the frigates and a boat approached the harbor, and fired upon the corvette la Vigilante for

half an hour. The corvette, supported by the fort, has received no damage. The English, it is supposed, have received considerable damage.
A letter from Praen Paille, of the 27th Messidor, 13th July, states, that the famous Chouan chief Salvador has been killed.
From the Courier Français of the 17th July.
The negotiations with Spain, have been transferred from Bayle to the Pyrenees, where they will speedily be brought to a conclusion.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
We have just received the following letter from Vanies, dated the 19th inst. July 7. "The important news of to-day is the departure of the English squadron, and the retreat of the Brigands, who, driven from port to port, have taken shelter in the peninsula of Quiberon, where they are blockaded by our army, which is at Ste. Barbe in front of Quiberon, by Falaise."
[From the Batave of the 17th July.]
BOSTON, September 23.
ANNIVERSARY of the FRENCH REPUBLIC.
Agreeable to the invitation given by Citizen Mozard, Consul of France at Boston, on Monday last was celebrated the epoch of the abolition of Monarchy, and of the establishment of the Republic of France.
The Dawn of the Day was welcomed in by a discharge of guns from the Brutus, and from the Cattle, and by the ringing of all the bells in the town.
At noon a procession was formed, and moved from the State House, to Faneuil-Hall, where an elegant dinner was prepared. The procession consisted of the respectable Frenchmen in this town, and a large number of American citizens. The dinner was also honored by the company of his Excellency Gov. Adams, the other officers of government, and the selectmen, all invited by the French Consul.
After partaking with cordiality and fraternity of the dinner, the following toasts, delivered by citizen Mozard, were drunk, under a discharge of howitzers and with repeated huzzas.
 1. The French Republic. Success to its Armies Wisdom to its Councils, and Liberty and happiness to its citizens.  2. The United States of America. May their citizens never abandon the cause of liberty, which they were the first to defend.  3. The National Convention of France. The constitution of 1795; the virtuous principles of government it inculcates.  4. The republic of Holland—May the interest of liberty, be one and indivisible.  5. The representatives of the American People. The President of the United States—May he never forget the friends, and the principles which led him to glory.  6. The day; and the tenth Thermidor*—May all tyrannical governments have one twenty first of September.  7. The State of Massachusetts. Its venerable and patriotic magistrates.  8. Agriculture, Commerce, Manufactures, and Arts.  9. The memory of those who fell victims to tyranny.  10. The town of Boston, and its Citizens, friends to liberty.  11. The friends of the French revolution throughout the world.  12. The French armies—May the gratitude of the French people immortalize the memories of those who died gloriously in the cause of liberty.  13. Confusion, Defeat and Dishonour to the enemies of liberty; Glory, Union and Prosperity to its friends.  14. The Widows and Orphans of the defenders of liberty.  15. The Liberty of the Press. Evil to those who attack the honor, freedom, lives and property of their fellow citizens. 
Volunteer by Governor Adams.
May Heaven direct the measures of the Republics of France and the United Netherlands, and may they establish a constitution that will secure the liberties of the citizens.
Volunteer by Mr. Austin.
May every nation, which assumes the title of "Free, Sovereign, and independent," maintain the honor of those appellations, and never meanly cringe to the influence of a foreign tyrant.
Volunteer by *****.
The Representatives of the People in Congress—May the voice of their constituents be heard, and re-echoed through this primary Organ.
Dr. Jarvis being absent, on account of indisposition—Mr. Jutau, gave as a volunteer toast, "The Patriotic Dr. Jarvis."
A number of patriotic songs were sung—among which, we particular distinguished, "le Reveil du Peuple," by citizen Mallet.
The day ended in an harmonious and agreeable manner.
Death of Robertspierre, and destruction of the Jacobin system.
The music by citizen Gaveaux, one of the first composers of music in Paris: This song is sung in all the theatres in France.
The empress of Russia has ordered, that all neutral vessels arriving within her dominions from any port in France, shall not be allowed to take on board any species of merchandise for exportation. Several American vessels, who were wholly or in part laden, have been obliged to unload, and to depart in ballast. This while it must prove injurious to our mercantile fellow citizens, will give a spur to the various Duck and Iron manufactories in the United States.
A correspondent was well pleased in reading one of the toasts given at the celebration of Monday, a compliment on the French Constitution of 1795. That instrument is bottomed on the sentiments contained in "Defence of the Constitution of the United States," by our illustrious Vice President, on whose abilities and patriotism a very elegant eulogium is given by Boffy d'Angleis, in his introductory report on the constitution. The abuse that able and independent patriot has received is more than amply compensated, in the good opinion of this equally able and distinguished statesman.
Philadelphia, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29. 1795.
We are informed, from good authority, that the following are the heads of the Treaty of Peace, lately concluded at Greeneville, between the United States, and the hostile Indian nations.
BOUNDARY. Beginning at Kayahuga; thence to the head waters of Muckingham, at the Tuscawara Branch; thence down the same to the Fork where Fort St. Lawrence formerly stood; thence to Lorimer's store; thence to Fort Recovery; thence a line to the Ohio, ending opposite the mouth of the Kentucky.

Our readers will perceive, by the accounts received by the Montezuma, arrived at Baltimore, that the Emigrants had been attacked and defeated, and were driven on to a peninsula in Quiberon Bay. Further accounts were last evening received by the brig Betsey, Captain White, from Copenhagen, who left that port the 12th of July, but put into Torbay, where the Captain received a London paper, the Star of the 30th of the same month. This paper contains an account that "on the 21st of July, at night, the French General Hoche, with a considerable force, made an attack on the Emigrant posts in Quiberon, drove every thing before him, attacked Fort San-Coulet, cut those who defended it to pieces, carried all the entrenchments, and completely drove the Emigrants from the peninsula. The loss on this occasion is variously stated: to this country (England) the whole force has been lost; but it does not follow that all the individuals who composed it have been butchered; on the contrary many of them joined the Republicans, and assisted them in gaining the victory. What else could be expected from men who were prisoners of war in this country, and who enlisted in the emigrant corps with no other view than thereby to be enabled to reach their own country? The most moderate account we have heard, states the loss in killed at upwards of two thousand, besides the prisoners, and those who went over to the enemy. All our stores are gone, and all our artillery, including some upper deck guns that had been landed from our ships for the batteries, besides those which we formerly announced to have been lost."
Some of the emigrants fortunately effected their escape on board our fleet; we know not how many, as some of our accounts state them at only a few hundreds, while others make them amount to nearly 2000, including women and children. Many in attempting to gain the ships perished in the water."
This morning between 7 & 8 o'clock a fire broke out in a wooden house, south east corner of Mulberry and 8th streets, which was not extinguished till the building was nearly destroyed and the adjoining buildings which were also wood, were greatly injured.
BERMUDA, Sept. 5.
The important intelligence from England, inserted in this day's paper, prevents our giving the rascally resolutions of the meetings of the mobility in America on the unfinished treaty of commerce, the copy of which was given by the treacherous Mr. Mason, of Virginia, whom we suppose, from particular circumstances, to be considerably indebted to the British merchants.
The lawless banditti in the principal towns of America at present carry every thing before them; and are proceeding as nearly as possible in the same manner as they have done in France: any man inclined to peace or moderate measures are in danger of their lives.
Wednesday came on at the Court of Vice Admiralty, the trial of the ship Somerset, Captain Miller, of New York, captured by his majesty's ships Argonaut and L'Oiseau, on her passage from Bourdeaux, but as the decree is not yet given in, we shall forbear giving at present an account of the trial.
On the above trial American honesty never shone in a more striking light, for in the instructions to the master, it was particularly ordered that the leather for the National Convention, (of which the ship on her outward bound passage had a great quantity, for the use of the French army, and contracted for by their Ambassador in America) should not at any rate be put into a dry store until weighed, and if wet ten times a day would not injure it in the least, as it was well tanned—[It must be observed, that it was sold by weight, to be weighed in France]
Extract of a letter from a late master of a British vessel, prisoner at Aux-Cayes, dated June 14th, to a gentleman in these Islands.
"I hope you will endeavour to make our situation known; there are here 200 British subjects; we are condemned to the public works: not allowed the least thing to subsist on, but on the contrary, are taxed a quarter a dollar per day; a great number have died, and if no relief soon, few will be left to exchange."
The Aurora published this morning by Mr. Bache, contains the following candid, decent, patriotic fridures, on the President of the United States, occasioned by the above privateering paragraphs of the Bermudians.
A Correspondent congratulates his Highness, the President of the United States, on the reinforcement
ment his friends, the advocates of the treaty, have received from Bermuda, the swarthy inhabitants of which appear as eager to support "the constituted authorities" of our country as the modern Catiline of New-York. The sovereign contempt these upstarts, baseless people entertain of "the rascally resolutions of the Mobility of America" seems to be just on a level with that of his highness himself, or his would-be successor, Catiline. With this formidable acquisition, the advocates of our mother country, Britain, may bid defiance to the anti-federalists, jacobins, disorganizers, and democrats of this infatuated country, who are such irreconcilable enemies to the blessings and advantages of royalty and aristocracy, which alone can reflect on our government the lustre and dignity to which it is so justly entitled.
The Letter Bag of the brig Lavinia, for Falmouth, will be taken from the Post-Office on Thursday afternoon, at 5 o'clock.
The following intelligence was received by the brig Betsey, Capt. White.
LONDON, July 30.
The Ville de Paris, of 110 guns, was completely copper sheathed on Tuesday, and went out of dock. She will be put in commission next month.
A new set of iron ballast has been cast, on purpose, for the Ville de Paris, at Chatham.
Our former account of the gallant action fought by the Dido and Lowestoffe frigates in the Mediterranean, has been confirmed by a letter from Mr. Udney, his Majesty's Consul at Leghorn. The following statement of it comes from general Trigg, governor of Corsica, to his Lady:
When on board Admi al Hotham, the 30th of June in the bay of St. Florensa, a cutter came express from capt. Towry, who, as Senior Captain, went towards Toulon in his own frigate, the Dido, of 28 guns, and the Lowestoffe, of 32, captain Middleton. They chased two French frigates of superior force, who could have got away, but after running two or three hours, determined to fight. The Minerve, a fine new frigate, of 40 guns, was taken; the Artemise, of 36 guns, escaped. It is a very gallant thing."
The treaty, as was mentioned yesterday in part of the impression of this paper, so long pending between this country and the United States of America, was ratified (excepting the 12th article) by the Senate, on the 26th ult. with only five dissenting voices.
GERMANY, HANOVER, July 11.
The young American, who wanted to assist Bollman, in effecting the deliverance of La Fayette from Olmutz, has been set at liberty. But both have been obliged to take an oath never to return again to any part of the Austrian dominions. Dr. Bollman intends to go to England, and from thence to embark for America.
La Fayette still continues in custody at Olmutz.
From our Plymouth correspondent.
Plymouth, July 28.
Last night arrived here the Anson of 38 guns, Capt. Durham, from Quiberon Bay, with dispatches for the admiralty, with which an officer set off express for London: she left the fleet off Belle-Isle last Thursday, then blocking up the French coast. The news she has brought is of a very unpleasant nature. The current report is, that a very general action took place the 21st instant, on the Peninsula of Quiberon, between the Republican army and the Royalists, in which the latter were cut to pieces: The slaughter continued the greatest part of the day and night, no quarter being given by either party. The loss of the Royalists is variously stated, but by the best accounts the number missing amounted to about 8000 men: The loss of clothing and arms is also stated to be very considerable, besides the upper-deck guns of several men of war, that had been previously landed for the use of the Royalists. In short, if the defeat is to the extent reported, the expedition seems nearly at an end.
Several wounded royalist officers are on board the Anson, and her crew are said to be very sickly.
We are happy to state, that from all we can gather from this unfortunate intelligence, it does not appear that any of the British soldiers were in the action, or that any of them are missing."

BOSTON, Sept. 23.
IMPORTANT NEWS, direct from FRANCE.
BILBOA TAKEN.
Yesterday arrived at Marblehead, a schooner commanded by Captain W. Brown, in 53 days from Bordeaux. Capt. Brown informs, that the day before he failed, an American vessel arrived at Bordeaux, from St. Andero, the master of which Capt. Brown knew, who assured him that Bilboa had been captured by the French.
EMIGRANTS DEFEATED.
Captain Brown further informs, that certain intelligence had been received at Bordeaux, that
the Emigrants to the amount of 13,000 lately landed in Quiberon Bay, had been attacked by the republican forces under General Hoche, and completely exterminated.
Capt. Brown brought many papers and letters, which have not yet arrived in town. We expect them here this day.
FROM THE WEST-INDIES.
The accounts are via Halifax, that the governors of Dominica and Tobago, had sent all the French inhabitants of those islands to England, and that the insurrection therein had been quelled, with very little damage being done the plantations. At Grenada, they had suffered much, but, as well as at St. Vincents, there was a prospect of their being speedily rid of their enemies.
FROM PORTSMOUTH.
We learn that eight or ten of their modern mobility—some of whom are birds of no feeble wing—have been indicted, and were on trial at Exeter.
From the Columbian Mirror, &c.
A Publication in the Columbian Mirror of the 25th ult. signed "A Federalist" under pretence of discussing a certain act of a public servant, being evidently intended to gratify private malice and personal hatred, would not have been noticed by the person at whom those are levelled, did he not find his public character assailed by the grossest calumny and falsehood.
Not that he feels an inferior zeal for the rights of his fellow citizens, not that he shrinks from an enquiry into his conduct as a servant of the public, on the contrary, he wishes it to be freely, but fairly discussed; because it involves a question important to the American people: namely, how far the two houses of Congress have a right to withhold from their constituents a knowledge of public transactions. A question of sufficient magnitude to attract the attention of those whose leisure and talents will enable them to do full justice to the subject; and to whom he would therefore wish to consign the task of affording, that conviction to the public mind, which reflection has operated on his own. But the vindication of character unjustly aspersed is a duty which every man owes himself; & however uninteresting to the public, such vindication ought to be co-extensive with the calumny, and at least as patiently attended to: low and contemptible personal abuse and insinuations merit no reply. A few previous remarks on the question of secrecy, are however submitted to public consideration, in order to remove the doubts of some well-intentioned persons, who seem to have misapprehended the constitution on this subject; not that the publication alluded to contains a single proof or argument in support of the assertion, so roundly made respecting this right.
The words of the constitution which are said to give to each branch of the legislature an unlimited power of concealing public transactions, and of tying up the hands, and sealing the lips of its members, are, that "each house shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may, in their judgment, require secrecy." It is really strange that this clause of the constitution expressly intended to produce publicity in the proceedings of Congress, should at this early day be understood as conceding to them a power of concealing their transactions from the public view, in every case. Had this clause not been inserted in the constitution, would Congress from the nature of our government have had a right to draw a veil over all their proceedings; and would not such an attempt have roused the just indignation of the people? Let the public opinion and feelings on the determination of the senate to keep their doors shut, answer. Shall a clause then which commands them to publish, be construed into an indefinite and unlimited right to conceal?
The true spirit and meaning of the clause is, that all the proceedings of the two houses must be committed to a journal; these journals shall be published, but where the divulging a measure would tend to defeat its effects, there the two houses shall not be obliged to publish the journal of their proceedings respecting it.
Deliberations of a legislature upon the propriety of entering into a war, or the mode of conducting it; certain articles of treaties which by the contracting powers are stipulated to be kept secret; and in time of war, secret military plans and operations are of this nature; and the enumeration can be carried but little further. In such cases the public safety admits and even requires concealment; in such cases it would be highly criminal in a member to make a disclosure, as it would in any other manner betray the interests of his country; but even there the restraint will be found to rest on the general ground of public duty, and moral obligation, not on any particular constitutional injunction.

Charlotte a tale of truth—by Mrs. Rowson. of the new Theatre, Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. The rapid sale of the first edition of this interesting novel, in a few months is the best criterion of its merit.
RETRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, APRIL 1791, p. 468.
"It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity, of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treacherous friend."
The situations are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."

Rollin's Ancient History.
PROPOSALS By Benjamin Davies & Wm. W. Woodward,
For printing, by subscription, THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE Egyptians, Medes, and Carthaginians, Persians, Affyrians, Macedonians, and Babylonians, Grecians.
By the justly celebrated M. Rollin : Late Principal of the University of Paris, Professor of Eloquence in the Royal College, and Member of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions & Belles Lettres.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH. "In this work appears the same principles of religion, of probity, and the same happy endeavours to improve the minds of youth, which are so conspicuous in all the writings of this author." "What you write," says the learned Bishop of Rochester, to the author, "may undoubtedly be read with pleasure and improvement, by persons not unacquainted in the learning of the same kind; for, while you call to mind ancient facts, and things sufficiently known, you do it in such a manner, that you illustrate, you embellish them, still adding something new to the old, something entirely your own to the labours of others; by placing good pictures in a good light, you make them appear with unusual elegance, and more exalted beauties, even to those who have seen and studied them most."
CONDITIONS.
 I. This work will be put to press as soon as the number of subscribers amount to five hundred.  II. It shall be printed with a type entirely new, on the best printing paper that can be procured.  III. It shall be contained in ten duodecimo volumes, neatly bound and lettered; which will be delivered to the subscribers at one dollar per volume, to be paid on delivery of each.  IV. Each volume shall be enriched with a beautiful frontispiece, allusive to some remarkable fact or event, recorded in the volume. 
To a work of such great intrinsic merit and extensive utility, the publishers hope for a generous encouragement, and they intend to insert an alphabetical list of the names of their patrons, at the close of the last volumes.
Subscriptions will be taken by the Publishers B. Davies, No. 62, High Street, and W. W. Woodward, Printer, No. 16, Chestnut Street, and by all the principal booksellers throughout the United States.
Those gentlemen who take subscription papers, will oblige the publishers by returning them by the 1st of January.
Those who shall obtain 12 subscribers, and become accountable for the money, shall receive one copy gratis; and to booksellers, who promote the subscription, the customary allowance shall be made.

THE Editors think it would be an inuendo so common understanding, to expatiate on the merits of this work: they content themselves with giving the following quotation from the Preface:
"If the merits of a work may be estimated from the universality of its reception, Plutarch's Lives have a claim to the first honors of literature. No book has been more generally sought after, or read with greater avidity. It was one of the first that was brought out of the recesses of the learned, and translated into the modern languages."

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 net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the 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 affiliated in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the sum: fivepension indispensable.
