Richard Johns } In the Chancery Court John Wells and } of the Mordecai Cole. } State of Maryland, May 26th 1794.
The Complainant hath filed his bill, for the purpose of obtaining a decree, to vest in him a complete legal title to two tracts of land, lying in Baltimore county, one called Painter's Level, con- taining 100 acres, the other called Prospect containing 50 acres. He states, that the said John Wells on the 16th day of March 1774 contracted to sell the said land to the said Mordecai Cole, executed to him a bond for conveyance, that the said Cole, on the same day, executed to the said Wells a bond for the payment of the purchase money amount- ing to £675 Pennsylvania currency; that the said Cole hath since discharged the whole of the purchase money, and hath assigned to the complainant the said bond for con- veyance; that the said Wells hath never executed a deed, agreeably to his contract but hath removed out of the state of Mary- land, and now resides in the state of Ken- tucky. It is thereupon, and at the request of the complainant, adjudged, and ordered, that he procure a copy of this order to be infer- red at least six weeks successively, before the first day of August next, in the United States Gazette at Philadelphia, to the intent, that the said John Wells may have notice of the complainant's application to this court, and may be warned to appear here, on or before the first Tuesday in Oc- tober next, to show cause wherefore this court should not proceed to decree, agree- ably to the prayer of the complainant, and to the act of assembly, for such cases made and provided.

The following is supposed to be from the elegant pen of Mrs. F—b—c, formerly of Boston.
From the Newbern N. C. Gazette. E L E G I A C L I N E S.
By a lady in North-Carolina, to her distant family, after receiving letters mentioning the death of her mother.
FROM Carolina's shores I waft the sigh, To mix with thine—Dear partners of my breath, Alas! ere those sad tidings met mine eye, Some dread forebodings broke my nightly rest.
Some howling shade, "un airy pinions borne,"
Of form erect presented to my view, Or dreams of travelling thro' a waste forlorn;
Prefages to a mother's last adieu. Indifference cold, and ever anxious care, Alternately possess'd my wearied thought,
Each day succeeding, darken'd by de- spair,
Each night renew'd with black ideas fraught.
Oft, when pale Cynthia shed the beam of eve,
With pensive steps I trac'd the lonely shore,
Reflection's dictates taught me but to grieve,
Anticipating scenes of sorrow o'er. 'Twas then suspence:—your letters now assure,
Here let me pause—to nature frail give way,
A mother dead! Of spotless virtue pure, "As angel forms and excellent as they."
Religion smiles to see her votaries die, And reason frowns when nature takes the lead;
Oh! white-robed seraph, leave thy kin- dred sky,
Assist us onward till thy path to tread. We grope without thee, tears but blind thy way;
Thy dictates taught the little all we know,
Why leave us sorrowing, thus to grief a prey,
Are we not thine, tho' distant'd here below?
Why dost thou smile while others groan in death?
The roses, as in health, thy cheek retains;
Why, when surrender'd up thy precious breath,
Thy corpse as animate with life re- mains?
Was it to flatter and to sooth our woe, The toils of warfare, even in death beguile?
Oh! sweet command of pity; to bestow, In thy last breath a guardian angel's smile.
Then; let us to the church-yard mound repair,
Where reliques of our kindred ashes sleep,
With pious hearts address the forceful prayer,
That we the bright reward of virtue reap.
From Wood's Newark Gazette.
At a meeting of the Republican Society of the town of Newark, on Monday the 26th May, 1794, the following letters from the Democratic Society of Penn- sylvania, addressed to the Republican Society of the town of Newark, cover- ing the Resolves and Principles of said Society, being read, on motion, ordered, That the Printer of the Newark Ga- zette shall be requested to publish the let- ters, dated May 20th, together with the resolves of May 8th, 1794.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
THE importance and solemnity of the present crisis of our affairs ought to command our attention, and cement the Democratic interest of the United States—at all times ought the people to have solicitude in public affairs, but at no moment ought this solicitude to ma- nifest itself so much, as when the ge- neral interest of our country seems to be made to bend to private considerations, and the principles of freedom to be con- strued to serve the purposes of individual ambition.—An influence dangerous to the freedom of this country appeared to be gaining ground among us; to resist it was the object of our association, and to resist it ought to be the most zealous endeavor of every well-wisher to the cause of liberty. As individual resistance would perhaps be unequal to counteract the combination against the people, we earnestly invite you to join your efforts with ours in the preservation of those rights for which Americans sought, bled and died.
We enclose the principles and consti- tution under which we are associated,
and take a pleasure in receiving yours, and a free communication of sen- timents from you.
GEORGE LOGAN, MICHAEL LEIB, BEN. FRANKLIN BACHE, Cor. Committee.
Philadelphia, May 20th, 1794, the 18th year of American Independence.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
THE importance of the subject of the enclosed Resolutions, has induced us to offer them to your consideration and attention—to us the subject appear- ed of so serious a nature, so injurious as a principle, so dangerous in its conse- quences, that to pass it by in silence was to forfeit the character of the so- ciety, and to abandon the motive which associated us.
Political evils are more easily, and certainly more safely prevented than cured; it behoves, therefore, to guard our constitution with the most jealous care, and to protect against every en- croachment upon it, that the evils of despotism or a Revolution may be alike prevented. If, while our feelings are still warm with the contest against Bri- tish usurpation, we tamely submit to have the citadel of our liberties under- mined, we may soon expect, as the re- volutionary enthusiasm is fast on its de- cline, to submit to its explosion, with all the fang-froid of men who had never tasted freedom.
Shall we, fellow-citizens, who have professed to be centinels on our consti- tution and our laws;—shall we, who have felt, and know how to estimate the blessings of liberty;—shall those who have assisted in that revolution, the prize of which was to be free; shall they submit in silence to an usurpation which attacks the essence of their rights and their security, and exposes them to all the calamities attendant upon the will of an individual?
Gratitude is a virtue when it does not operate to our own destruction, and to let it smother wrongs great as the one of which we complain, is a weakness unworthy of freemen. If the weight of influence is already so great as to stifle the voice of our representatives, it is high time to sound the alarm, and we trust, here is yet virtue and indepen- dence enough in the American people to rouse at the signal of danger, and to convince their agents, that they have contended for freedom against British tyrants, and that it shall not be wrested from them by any power or influence upon earth.
If the sentiments expressed in the en- closed resolutions should meet your ap- probation, an evidence of your concur- rence will add much to their weight, and a publication of them on your part encrease their effect.

ANSWER.
GENTLEMEN,
THE communications of the Demo- cratic Society of Pennsylvania, were on the 26th ult. laid before the Republican Society of the town of Newark. Your letters of the 20th of May, and your resolves of the 8th, are to be re-pub- lished in the Newark Gazette. The Society have appointed a committee for the purpose of cultivating a friendly correspondence and free communication of sentiment with our fellow-citizens throughout the Union. With us it is a fundamental axiom, that the acts of our rulers cannot with safety be placed beyond the reach of a decent animadver- sion, and that the liberty, peace and happiness of the people depend much upon a free and general circulation of the opinions of the governed.
The principles exhibited in the instru- ment of your association, merit the ap- probation of freemen, and with us it will require something more than mere verbose declamation or mutilated calum- ny, to believe you corrupt. We re- spect and will obey any government which the people have formed. We think the constitution of the the United States (all circumstances considered) is as perfect as could be expected; but to administrators of government can do no disgrace the annals of despotism. As ever spurn at the savage howl of antifederal- ism, raised against every man who dares to call in question, the conduct and principles of rulers, and although we are disposed to make a reasonable allowance for the frailties and weakness of human nature and the numerous errors of opi- nions incident to political economy, yet we do not conceive it a crime, modestly to enquire into the conduct of our pub-
lic agents, or decently to give our opin- ion on subjects which relate to our public interest.
By the institution of our society, which you will receive inclosed, you will perceive that the design of our associ- ation is to acquire political knowledge. Any communications, therefore from your body will be gratefully received, and obtain particular attention. In the name and in behalf of our society, we cordially congratulate you as brethren in the cause of republicanism.

From the General Advertiser.
There are some who pretend to know that Danton is not a staunch patriot, but assert that he has been bribed on more than one occasion; the same per- sons speak well of Robespierre's firm- ness and honesty; but if Danton has really fallen under the stroke of the guillotine, we should rather feel inclined to attribute it to the manœuvres of the aristocrats, whose game it has been ever since the beginning of the revolution to destroy one party by its rival faction, and this again by a new one.
But at this distance from the scene of action it is difficult, to form a right judgment of men and measures, one thing however must come home to the feelings of every republican,—that the revolution in France is for the great body of the people and will be carried thro' to a favorable issue by the Pe- ople."
On the above, a Correspondent in the (New-York) American Minerva, makes the following observations.
It is laughable to see the twists and shifts of some people to justify every fan- guinary proceeding of the Convention of France.
"Manners with fortune, humors change with climes, tenets with books and principles with times."
When we hear of a rapid succession of parties in the Convention, one cut- ting off the heads of another, it is all resolvable into aristocracy and treason. A flaming democrat to day is arrested and guillotined to-morrow.—Why? O he was an aristocrat. But Danton, that bon patriot, he could not be an aristo- crat!—impossible! How then could he be come to the block? O, some aristocrats have done it to divide the Convention!
What an excellent shift for a descend- ant of the Great Franklin! It is then impossible that democrats should quar- rel? Have they no passions, no ambi- tion, no resentment, no envy, no jealousy? But now let us see if these popular leaders do cut one another's throats, yet France will be saved by the people. This deduction is a most striking forc- ible argument in favor of Clubs. It all works up to this point. But if the peo- ple should quarrel and guillotine each other, how then? Why it would be done by aristocrats? These men never were really the people, but aristocrats at heart—it is all right—the men who survive are the people, until they are arrested and tried, and then they are aristocrats. How much more simple and rational is it to allow some portion of evils and errors to men under every form of government? to admit some imperfections even among the people?— to admit what the history of Greece and Rome teaches in every page, that republican, much more democratical go- vernments are always turbulent and fac- tious? that men with the best intent- ions, are often deceived into rash mea- sures and thrown into a flame? "In medio tutissimus ibis." Is a maxim very necessary to restrain the visionary ideas of our modern patriots.

Foreign Intelligence.
COPENHAGEN, March 4.
Notwithstanding all possible enquiry has been made to discover the cause of the dreadful conflagration by which the royal palace was consumed, nothing has appeared that tends to elucidate the matter further than to lead us to suppose that the catastrophe in question hap- pened from fire lurking in the pipes of for heating the different apartments, which pipes were conducted between the floors. This idea seems confirmed by the palace being full of smoke long before the fire burnt out; and when the flames appeared, they broke out in dif- ferent parts at once. The violence of the smoke suffocated 50 people, and prevented many (particularly those who inhabited the upper parts of the place) from saving of their goods.—The high wind which blew, and the height of the building, which was 114 feet, render- ed the best engines of no use. The flames could not burst through the roof, it being covered with copper; but as soon as the beams were consumed, every thing fell in.
The alacrity of all degrees of people upon the melancholy event was great beyond description, and various acts of courage were shewn upon the occasion; among the rest the following is too re- markable not to be particularly noticed: Captain Eberlin and Mr. Handevad, a merchant, had exerted themselves so long to save people and goods, that the stairs were burnt down by which they were to escape, and nothing was left but to tie some window curtains toge- ther, and let themselves down to the balcony; but when they came there, it seemed impossible for them to get any further; and from the progress of the flames they were in imminent danger of perishing, when an intrepid sailor found means to fasten a rope to the balcony, and swarming up it, he took one of the gentlemen under his right arm, and holding the other fast with his teeth by the clothes, he brought them both down safely to the ground by letting himself down with his left hand.
It was thought that the calamity of the fire at the palace would for a time have stopped the equipment of the fleet for the protection of our neutrality, but the zeal of the citizens in contributing to repair the loss will rather accelerate than delay the fitting out of that fleet.
The number of people who lost their lives at the fire is greater than was at first laid, and amounts to 130.
The ruins of the conflagration have been fenced in, that the workmen may not be hindered, and they have already dug many valuables from the rubbish.
LONDON, Feb. 28.
At a General Meeting of the Manu- facturers of Norwich at the Guild- hall in that city, on Wednesday the 12th of Feb. 1794.
Robert Partridge, Esq. in the Chair.
The edict lately issued by the Em- press of Russia, prohibiting the im- portation of striped Woollen and Worsted goods, which has been communicated to sundry manufacturers here, by their correspondents in Russia, in which pro- hibition are included striped Calliman- coes, Camblets, Cambletteens, Taborets, &c. &c. the Manufacture of this place, having been taken into consideration,
Resolved, That these aforesaid arti- cles for the Russia market, give em- ployment, during the most part of the year, and more particularly in the winter months, to as great a number of poor as all the other articles toge- ther.
Resolved, That most of the work- men employed in these articles, must be left entirely destitute, and conse- quently be supported by the Public, to the great advance of the poor's rates already very burthensome to this Ci- ty.
Resolved, That confiding in the Commercial Treaty, lately renewed with the Court of St. Petersburg, the Manufacturers have put their Commis- sioners, to work, which are already in great forwardness for the first spring ships.
Resolved, That the articles in ques- tion made for Russia, are unseasonable in any other country.
Resolved, That as it appears by the late edict, all the foregoing articles, which may remain unfold in Russia, in any market-place, shop, ware-house, or place whatsoever, after the 1st of

July 1794, will be subject to confiscation it occasions a very serious alarm to those, who have property by sales made in that country.
Resolved, That the Representatives of this city in Parliament be directed immediately to apply to his Majesty's Ministers, on this important subject; that they represent in the strongest terms, the very great damage and loss that must arise, not only at present, but for the time to come, to every description of inhabitants in this City, should the above Edict continue in force; and that they use their utmost exertions to obtain effectual relief from so alarming and threatening an evil.
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions, be transmitted to the Representatives for the County of Norfolk, and that they be requested to co-operate with the Members for the City of Norwich.
Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions be inserted in the two Norwich and Bury papers, the Times, the Morning Chronicle, the Sun, and Star.
Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Chairman, for his attention to this important business.
ROBERT PARTRIDGE, Chairman.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, June 13.
From Halifax, June 5.
On Sunday last arrived here from Virginia, his Majesty's ships Dædalus, commanded by Sir Charles Knowles, and Terpsichore, Captain Bowen.
The Dædalus sailed from England last fall, bound for this place; but meeting with a course of severe storms, and having received great damages, besides having sprung her main-mast and fore-mast, so as not to be able to carry sail on them, she was obliged to put into Norfolk; — at which time two French Frigates were in the Chesapeake. On her arrival there, she got in two new masts, and having completed the other necessary repairs, Sir Charles Knowles, intended immediately to proceed to this place; but just as the ship was ready for sea, a French fleet, consisting of two ships of the line, four frigates, and two corvettes, arrived from France, to convoy home a fleet of French merchantmen which had been lying in the Chesapeake. Those ships were immediately so stationed, as to block up the Dædalus, and to render her departure impossible. In this mortifying situation, the officers and crew of the Dædalus have been exposed to every mean insult, both from the French and Americans, that it is possible to conceive of.
But great merit is due to Sir Charles Knowles, his officers, and ship's company, for the steady contempt with which they have uniformly repelled a conduct so unmanly and ungenerous. — To insult an enemy so very inferior in force, while it betrays every mark of cowardly little minds — in the breast of the brave man, of any nation who hears it, will excite a generous abhorrence and indignation. One great object intended by these insults, was, if possible, to provoke the people of the Dædalus to some seeming impropriety of conduct, that might form a pretence for them to take advantage of, to proceed to greater outrages. Sir Charles Knowles saw into their designs, and by the steady discipline maintained in the Dædalus, rendered their insidious intentions abortive.
The 20th of April, the French fleet consisting of about 150 sail, convoyed by two ships of the line and six frigates sailed for France. After the departure of the fleet, the Concorde frigate, and a Corvette of 17 guns, moved up to Cranny Island.
About the beginning of May, three musket balls were discharged into the Dædalus, from an American fort erected nearly opposite to where she was anchored. On Sir Charles Knowles's remonstrating to the Governor on this shameful proceeding, some enquiry was made, and the persons who had discharged the muskets, it was supposed, would be punished.
On the 14th of May, despairing of the arrival of any British ship to their relief, Sir Charles Knowles ordered the Dædalus, to unmourne, with a determination to proceed to sea early the next morning. The ship was unmoored accordingly, and, every arrangement made for her departure, when the most pleasing sensations were suddenly excited throughout the ship, by the joyful and unexpected arrival of a small boat along side, in which was a midshipman belonging to his Majesty's ship Terpsichore, dispatched by Captain Bowen, to acquaint Sir Charles Knowles, that that ship was at anchor in Lynhaven-Bay, and that he was ready to co-operate with him. On a return being
sent to this message, by Sir Charles Knowles, the Terpsichore proceeded up the river to Hampton Roads, where both ships joined, and saluted each other by three cordial cheers.
The 15th and 16th of May, the weather was stormy and disagreeable; but the wind becoming fair on the 17th, in the morning, the Dædalus and Terpsichore got under way, and proceeded to the Lower Road, where the Concorde and Corvette were lying, and passing them, proceeded down the Bay. — About three quarters of an hour afterwards, after having taken all the men out of the Corvette, and increasing thereby her ship's company to above 500 men, the Concorde got under way and followed the ships down the Bay. To increase this gallant appearance, she made a great display of grappling irons, and other arrangements for boarding.
At 10 o'clock, his Majesty's ships reached Cape Henry, and proceeded four or five miles to sea, then hove too, to wait for the Concorde. At 11 o'clock, the Concorde reached Cape Henry, where citizen Van Dogen saw it fit prudently to come to anchor. The Dædalus and Terpsichore stood off and on, under an easy sail, till the next morning, when they stood in to Cape Henry; but could see nothing of the Concorde. They passed the whole day of the 18th, at a little distance from the Cape, and on the morning of the 19th stood in again; when finding it in vain to wait any longer, they proceeded for this port, leaving the Sans Culottes quietly to return and sing "The Carmagnol;" and Citizen Van Dogen, if possible, to make out a Tale for the Convention, that will save his head from the Guillotine.
It appears by the statements under Halifax head, that Captain Van Dogen did not look sharp after the Dædalus and Terpsichore. It was said, when he returned to Norfolk, he was unable to come up with them. Slow sailing vessels indeed, that could not overtake others that were lying too! But then this is a Halifax account — and is not to be credited!!
In contradiction of the Halifax news, it is said several arrivals from Norfolk, mention the Concorde's chasing the British frigates 48 hours.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 19.
Rule as to the sailing of the vessels of war of the Belligerent Nations from the United States.
WHEN any vessel, whether of war or merchandise public or private, belonging to any belligerent nation, shall depart from the United States beyond the jurisdictional line of the United States on the ocean, and a vessel of war, whether public or private, belonging to another of the belligerent nations, being adverse, shall at the time of the departure of the first mentioned vessel, be within such jurisdictional line, the last mentioned vessel of war shall not sail beyond such jurisdictional line, until the expiration of twenty four hours, after the departure of the first mentioned vessel.
If any vessel of war belonging to a belligerent nation shall sail contrary to the foregoing rule, she shall be deemed to have violated the law of nations, and the government of the United States will take measures for causing to be restored, any prize, taken by her, and brought within the power of the United States.
This rule shall commence forthwith, and shall be notified to all the foreign ministers, residing near the United States.

NEW-YORK, June 18.
Two English frigates are arrived at the watering place; they are said to be the Quebec, Capt. Rogers, and the Alarm, both from Admiral Jarvis' fleet; they are getting a few stores and are to sail again.
From the Minerva.
The report of the committee of Congress, appointed to examine the accounts and proceedings of the Treasury Department, is now before the public. This report is lengthy; making a pamphlet of 86 pages. In their statement, the committee have exhibited all the essential modes of transacting business in that department — the methods of receiving and disbursing all public monies — the forms of bills, warrants and receipts, used in the business — an account of all loans and deposits in the several banks — the duties of the respective officers — the manner in which the books are kept in the several offices — the amount of the public revenues for
each year, and the total amount for the whole term since the establishment of the government. — The amount of appropriations and the balances in favor of the treasury for each quarter — the sources from which the revenues arise — the history and operations of the sinking fund — the proceedings of the Secretary with respect to the foreign loans — the disposition of the monies borrowed — the amount of the debts of the United States, and the amount of each respective debt, foreign and domestic, distinguishing the amount of the several species of funded and unfunded certificates. This report will, it is presumed, be gratifying to the public, who feel interested to know the state and management of the national finances. It will, at the same time, wipe away the unjust and abusive aspersions cast on the Secretary of the Treasury — it will establish his reputation for incorruptible integrity, and confound the calumny of his enemies, tho' it may not silence their slanderous tongues.
A melancholy accident happened yesterday afternoon: — A lad of about 13 years, son of Mr. Dawson, in Cortlandt-street, barber, by some fatality, caught his neck in a line, which was hanging in the yard, in such a manner, that he was strangled beyond recovery in a few moments after.
Last evening arrived the America, Howell, in 4 months and 20 days from Canton.
The Washington, Randall, was to sail in three weeks after the America.
PORTSMOUTH, June 10.
Arrived here yesterday, the schooner Industry, Capt. Woodward, in 26 days from St. Thomas's. Beef when he left there, was selling at 7 dollars per barrel.
Capt. Woodward informs, that there was a report in circulation at St. Thomas's that the Danes had declared war against France, and that three French privateers then at St. Thomas's were detained on account of the report.
NORFOLK, June 11.
On Monday last arrived the brig Jolly Tar, Capt. Dixon, from Barbadoes. Capt. Dixon informs, that the sloop General Green, of Providence, (R. I.) Edward Bots, master, arrived at Surinam, from the coast of Africa, with 81 slaves, on the 23d April. The sloop came too below the town, and Capt. Bots went up in his boat, and left word with the mate to bring the sloop up the next morning. At 2 o'clock, A. M. he was cut out by nine pirates, (supposed to be soldiers from the fort) and ran out to sea. The second mate made his escape out of the cabin window into the boat, before they got out of the river. The chief mate was confined until they got out, and then ordered on deck to conduct the sloop to Martinique. The pirates sometimes spoke French, and one of the sloop's people understanding it, found they intended as soon as they made the Island, to kill all hands and run the sloop on shore. They therefore took the opportunity when the pirates began to be sea-sick, and at 1 o'clock, P. M. on the 24th, they attacked them, killed 5 and confined the other 4; — the mate and one of the sloop's people only, were wounded; and on the 1st of May arrived safe at Barbadoes. The Captain having all the papers, the mate could not proceed to any other island. When Capt. Dixon left Barbadoes, the mate had obtained permission to sell his slaves.
SAVANNAH, May 29.
By the sloop Fanny from Cape Nicholas mole, we learn that Cape Francois was attacked and taken by the Spaniards about the 13th instant.
Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in the ship Grenada Packet, lying along side of the wreck of the Ceres at Hutchinson's Island, by the boiling over of a pitch pot on deck; she drifted over to the wharves on this side, and went up with the flood tide; on passing Mr. Clay's wharf one of the stores caught fire, but was soon extinguished; at Mr. Miller's the was flopt by an old wreck, where the greatest exertions were used by the inhabitants and others, for upwards of two hours, to stop the fire on board, but without effect; however it was happily prevented from communicating to the buildings ashore; and near high water in the evening she was towed a considerable way up the river, so as not to endanger any further, the wharves or shipping.
NEWARK, June 18.
We have the pleasure to announce to the public, that on Saturday last, the large mill for spinning of cotton by water was put in operation at Paterson, to the great satisfaction of all those who wish well to the manufactures of this
country, and from the specimen given on that day, there is no doubt the expectations of the public will be fully answered. The dam and canal are complete, and there is water sufficient for all kind of mills and great conveniences for placing them.
The mill was opened with great parade; a considerable company was collected from all parts who went in procession to the mill, and a ball was given to the children and workmen of the factory; and the expectations of the public were not only gratified but greatly raised in contemplating the future importance of their rising fabrics.
BALTIMORE, June 17.
Extract of a letter from Jamaica, dated May 11.
"There is a most malignant fever raging here at present, and it is highly necessary, as you tender the safety of your families and the community, that the condition of the crews of every vessel from this place should be strictly inspected before they are suffered to mix with society. The hot weather is now coming on in America, and by reasonable precaution you may prevent a similar catastrophe to what has already happened to the first town in the United States."
Sunday last arrived here, the ship Union, Capt. Johnstou, in 15 days from the Havannah. Thirty leagues to the southward of Cape Henry the Union was boarded by two British frigates, the Quebec and Alarm, who deprived her of two hands, under pretence of their being British subjects. The commander of the Quebec informed Capt. Johnstou that there were 8 British frigates on our coast, daily in sight of each other.
EXTRACT.
There is a certain class of beings "whose praise is censure and whose blame is praise." They will always cavil, always scribble and catch at errors, if they exist. — Dryden says, "Errors like pistrinaria upon the surface float, who would search for pearls must dive below."
As long as our beloved President conducts himself in the administration of our government as he hitherto has done, he need not indeed "fear the envenomed breath of malevolence;" — Are all the signal services he rendered us through a long and, (at many times,) a doubtful contest so soon to be forgotten? Or rather are they only to be remembered for the purpose, (let me call it the diabolical purpose) of abusing him? — It is well known that at the unanimous suffrage of his fellow-citizens he left the sweets of domestic retirement, and entered upon the great political theatre with reluctance; disclaiming every idea of pecuniary compensation, (as he did when he was appointed commander in chief,) for his services.
How has the President been requited? — Oh! gratitude, hast thou like Atrata left the earth?

It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.
The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.  The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He
requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.  The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface.

Joseph Clark, ARCHITECT AT ANNAPOLIS, Proposes to publish, by subscription,  POLYMATHY; OR  The American Builder. A Work calculated equally to edify and entertain the Gentleman, Farmer, Surveyor, Builder & Mechanic.
THIS work will contain various opinions of the best writers on Architecture, Arts, and Science; together with experiments, and accurate notes of observation, by the author; being the result of thirty years study and experience in his profession.

Exemplifications, to ascertain the quantities of materials and labor necessary to complete, almost, every part in a building, of whatever dimensions.  An account and explanation of all the terms and phrases, used in ancient and modern architecture and building.  To persons inclined to build, it will afford an opportunity of regulating their plans within the compass of their finances, and prepare them to prevent impositions from tricking vendors of materials, and extortionate workmen—To Mechanics, who cannot, for want of experience, calculate the value of their respective labour, and materials expended in their particular branches of building, this work will afford an opportunity to eliminate with facility and accuracy, any done or intended to be done, either in the aggregate or the minutiae.
It will contain many curious and valuable recipes to make fine and coarse varnishes, for preserving roofs of houses, barns, palings, troughs, pipes, &c. Recipes to make various glues and cements; recipes to make compositions for elegant, or minute ornaments, and enrichments for outside or inside compartments; recipes to make composition for figures and incrustations—to endure the weather in any aspect; recipes to make sluice compositions, for floors, malt-houses, distilleries, hearths, linings for cisterns, &c. Tables to ascertain the cantiling of different species of timber necessary to perform their respective functions, in proportion to their various suspensions: Tables to ascertain the dimensions of the various operations introduced in different edifices, and doors, windows, chimneys, sky-lights, stair-cases, &c. in proportion to their different uses and intentions—whether for beauty or utility: A concise mode to take, and square the dimensions of all kinds of artificer's work belonging to buildings, and to ascertain the cubical or superficial contents thereof: Observations on the doctrine of echo and sound: A dissertation on the philosophy, doctrine, and construction of chimneys, to void or emit the smoke. Propositions and recipes to cure smoky chimneys: Observations on the instability of the edifices heretofore, generally, erected in America: Suggestions of modes to pursue in buildings here, that will, without additional expense, tend more to their durability than those heretofore, commonly, constructed: Descriptions and proportions of the general and particular members of various orders in Architecture, viz. the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Composite, Chinese, Attic, Carthaginian, Arabic, Greek, Roman, Gothic, and Britannic: Many curious historical accounts of various wonderful buildings in different parts of the world: Many curious and original accounts and eulogiums on Free Masonry.

Mr. Clark avers the public, that he will literally perform all that he has set forth in these proposals.  Gentlemen inclined to promote this work, by subscribing thereto, are requested to write, post paid, to Mr. Joseph Clark, at Annapolis, authorizing him to annex their names to the subscription list.
The Printers in the United States, are solicited to give these proposals, occasionally, a place in their papers.

A New Novel!
To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, few-ed in marbled paper, half a dollar.  Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c. Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.
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 accompanied by a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artfully and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved in severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved.
THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four teen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding.
The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Genesee Government, South Carolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former system of Geography, and it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a preference to any other edition of Guthrie.
N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murrays map.

AN ESSAY ON THE  Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes.
To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by  WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D.
Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it repels the intolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of Subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority.
So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in a harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

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

An Essay on Slavery,
Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of freemen to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.
