CAUTION
To Merchants and other Citizens of the United States. THE advices received by Captain O'Brien from Colonel Humphreys, at Lisbon, show that the temporary obstacles to a fulfilment of the stipulations on the part of the United States with the Dey and Regency of Algiers, are not yet removed. The treaty itself being put in jeopardy, by these unexpected delays, the safety of American vessels entering the Mediterranean has become extremely precarious. It should also be remembered, that no treaty has ever yet been made between the United States and the governments of Tripoli and Tunis. Merchants and other citizens of the United States will hence see the hazard to which they will expose their property and the liberty of their fellow citizens, by engaging, in the present state of things, in commerce within the Straits of Gibraltar.
Department of State, TIMOTHY PICKERING, June 8, 1796. Secretary of State.
Copy of a letter from Capt. James Moore, of the ship Harmony, of this port, on the subject of a patent Machine, invented by Benjamin Wynkoop, for pumping foul air out of the holds of ships, by the motion of the ship at sea.
Hamburg, 5th April, 1796.
"Dear Sir, "It will no doubt be pleasing to you, and believe me it is exceedingly gratifying to me, to advise you of my entire approbation of the Machine constructed and fixed by you on board the ship Harmony. It has fully answered my most sanguine expectations, and I feel happy in herewith recommending it to general use, as its principle is calculated to be of general benefit and service to mankind. It must be invaluable on board ships in long voyages, which have passengers on board; and where there may be cargoes liable to perish by heat, its utility when more generally known, must be acknowledged. I would advise in your future constructions, an addition of at least six pounds more weight to the pendulum, than was affixed to mine, as in the worst weather I had during my passage here, the motion was hardly sufficient, which will be remedied by the addition of weight recommended.
I am with respect, Sir, Your most obedient servant, JAS. MOORE. Benjamin Wynkoop, Esq.
CHARLESTON, May 30.
Messrs. Freneau & Paine,
Your inserting the following may be of use to all purchasers of distilled spirits, who do not know how to prove the strength of them; there are many modes of trying the proof, but I believe all to be fallible and uncertain that I have been used, except one that I discovered some years ago, which I believe to be known to no one else, as I have never heard it mentioned; it is infallible, and simple. Take half a pint of spirits in a cup or tumbler, take a small quantity of clean cotton, lay it as slight as possible on the surface of the liquor; if your spirits be good proof, the cotton will sink immediately to the bottom; add a little water to it, and the cotton will rise. THOMAS SINGLETON.

PERJURY PREPENSE.
Perjury ought to be made a capital crime, particularly in this country, where the natives will stick at nothing to accomplish interested or malicious purposes. The following recent instance evinces the truth of our observation:
On Saturday last, a number of Lafcars belonging to the grab now Generous Friends, preferred a charge of murder against Mr. Welch, the Chief Officer. They swore, that after beating a Lafcar to death, he had thrown his body overboard.
Capt. Sparrow, the Commander of the grab, however, keeping a hawk's eye on the proceedings, made so successful a search after the supposed murdered man, that he found out his lurking place on Sunday, and Mr. Welch was discharged from custody.
A similar circumstance, where the Farce of the "Dead Alive" was attempted to be acted, happened some years ago, in a battalion of native infantry, while on the line of march.
Just as the officers had breakfasted, an immense crowd of natives advanced, shouting and calling out for justice. At length the body of a man, apparently murdered, covered with a bloody cloth, was laid before the entrance of the tent. The father, mother, uncles, aunts, brothers, &c. of the deceased, attended to prove the identity of the murdered.
The battalion was ordered out, and several of the Sepoys who had a quarrel in the Bazar, were fixed upon. The necessary dispositions were making for sending the witnesses and Sepoys down to Calcutta, when one of the young subalterns (an Hibernian)
having attentively examined the body, called to a kettle of boiling water, "because, if the man was dead, a little washing, by J-s, would do him no harm." No sooner did the water touch the breast, than upstarted the corpse, rushed through the crowd, upsetting all the near relations that stood in his way, and was soon out of sight.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, IS not the public a little indebted to me for working such a wonderful change in the mind of the editor of the Aurora, as to induce him to confess publicly, that "the private characters and conduct of men have never with propriety been dragged before the tribunal of the press." This from you! Benny! from you who have been the instrument of slaying and flitting more private characters than any man in the union; from you who a few weeks since aimed a stab at the private character of the first man in the nation—a stab, which indeed was innocent, because the character was invulnerable, but which you would evidently have rejoiced to render mortal; from you, in a word, whose paper is notoriously the gibbet of reputation:—from you to have extorted such a confession as this would be some cause of triumph, if it were not necessary, in order to a triumph, that an adversary should have more proofs and be of more importance than mine.
You still strive to evade the whole subject on which I have any controversy with you. All I have asserted is that such vicious men as I have heretofore named (and it matters not whether their vices belong to their private or to their public character) ought not to be received as authorities on moral or religious subjects. To this you have made no reply; but have been labouring to convince the public that I have made my assertions wholly with political views. Yet of this you have not offered the shadow of a proof and are not able to produce the semblance of a presumption from any thing I have written. The truth is, you supposed that the character of your friends was more desirable on political, than on moral ground, and therefore have endeavored to draw to the former of these grounds the whole controversy. But what will you say, when I tell you as I now do with perfect truth that the political sentiments of the men who have been mentioned (I mean as they are delivered in their books) are, in general, my own sentiments; and that I most sincerely wish they may always prevail in this country. Never did you mistake your man more than in supposing me the tool of a political faction. I am not, and never will be, connected with party politics in any way. I have not, and never had, any personal connection with, interest in, or partiality for, any man in power, or for any who have been in the administration—I with you could say as much. If you are acquainted with any of the vices (and I think you are with some) of the men who have at any time filled places of public trust, and if the exposing of these vices will serve as valuable a purpose as that which I have endeavored to promote by exposing those of your friends, I call upon you—I challenge you, to come forward and disclose them. I shall most sincerely rejoice to see the men, whoever they may be, receive the chastisement they deserve. And should you even publish these vices (on the supposition they exist) not from any views of the public good, which I believe you do not much regard, but from personal rancour, by which I am sure you are much influenced, still you will touch none of my tenabilities. I shall only be sorry that propriety is violated, that you have added to the number of your follies and misdemeanors—Believe me, it is not my misfortune, as it is yours, that a man can anger and torment me by exposing the vices of my friends. If it were, I would not provoke any man to do it. I have now done with you forever. Better people than Mr. Bache will, it is hoped, be led by what has passed between us, to distinguish between a politician and an infidious infidel ; and while they approve the principles which a man advances in the one of these characters, be careful not to imitate but to detest those, which he advocates in the other.

COMMUNICATION.
The Agents of Mischief, the Enemies of the Peace and Prosperity of the United States, are not to be checked in their career of Abuse and Calumny, by any considerations whatever. This is confirmative of an old saying, that "the Cup of Felicity, pure and unmixed, is by no means a draught for mortal man to drink."
Though all our senses have borne testimony to the wisdom and patriotism with which our public affairs have been conducted, the PEOPLE have spontaneously, explicitly, and publicly awarded their approbation of the administration; though they have unequivocally declared that they prefer a state of peace to a state of war—a state of tranquility, secured by the operation of just and equal laws, to a state of turmoil, anarchy and uncertainty—Yet, certain envious, restless, and disappointed tools of a foreign influence, continue to persecute the public patience, by reviling the administration, and traducing the people.
These Agents of Mischief assume the garb of patriots, while they act in direct opposition to the avowed sense of the people, as expressed by their constituted authorities in their respective Legislature. They abuse those very measures of the general government which the PEOPLE approve, and they applaud the principles of those very men whom the PEOPLE exclude from their Councils.
Extract of a letter from Augusta—May 20.
Yours of the fourth of May I have received; it contains matter which is truly interesting, and grateful to my feelings. The vote of supplies for carrying the British Treaty into full effect, has operated like a charm upon all the most respectable part of the community; and many who were avowed enemies to the Treaty before it became the supreme law of the land, were as avowed advocates
for having it carried into full effect, after it had been sanctioned by the constituted authorities.
You know I have long been a zealous advocate for the vox populi , but every day's experience exhibits strong proofs to my mind, that wicked and designing men artfully seize every occasion which presents itself to inflame the public mind, and will even dare to hazard the peace, welfare, and happiness of the government, to gratify private, vengeful, and ambitious purposes.—Under this conviction, I am clear the vices of men must be restrained; and I fear this can only be effected by energy in government and laws. The disorganizers in Georgia are daily deceasing, and the friends to the government are continually finding new proselytes.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, June 11.
[By the Loeds Packet, from Liverpool, arrived last Thursday, in 43 days.]
PARIS, April 18.
It was while the south of Europe was exclusively attached to the war against France, that the Courts of Vienna, of Peterburgh, and London, concluded that famous treaty of Alliance, of which the invasion of Poland was the prelude. This event, so important in itself, has not turned the attention of a single Power of Europe from the war they carry on against France.
It has been demanded what part Great-Britain has to take in the invasion of the Ottoman empire by Russia. The writers clearly see, that no tender regard for the Empress would lead that Power to engage in a business from which no particular good could result to herself; they therefore concluded that the part she takes is positive and real. This conclusion, however, has been stiled chimerical—but the chimera will become reality, if Europe do not recover from the delirium of its rage against the French Republic, and the Ottoman empire will fall a prey to the ambition of Russia.
Austria will obtain an aggrandizement of territory near the center of her hereditary states, and in the neighbourhood of Hungary or Tyrol—Turkish Croatia, Dalmatia, would approach her nearer the Adriatic Sea, which she touches now only in the port of Trieste; and we know that any thing which conduces her nearer Italy, the eternal object of her ambition, pleases her infinitely.
It is highly worthy observation, that this ambitious house has never yet insisted strongly with Russia, that her share of Poland should be strictly defined. Perhaps this may be deferred by consent until the success of the invasion of the Ottoman empire be known—and we have read this year back—that by an eventual treaty of partition, the court of Peterburgh would have for its share, the Turkish provinces to the east, as far as the western coasts of the Adriatic. It is easy to see thus how the Republic of Venice would run a risk of being enveloped in the mighty design of the two Imperial Courts.
England, who probably cares little for the retaining Corsica, and who notwithstanding keeps a fleet of 23 ships of the line in the Mediterranean, meditates, beyond a doubt, some important object in consequence of her new treaty with the Imperial Courts. With remarkable tenaciousness during a century, it must be observed, she has retained Gibraltar, which gives her the command of the Mediterranean. She has successively occupied Minorca and Corsica, to have in fact her hand always stretched out to the commerce of the Levant. Now sole mistress of India and Bengal, she is more than ever induced to open the shortest course to her commerce with the Gauges and Indostan by the Red Sea, and the Isthmus of Suez.
England has therefore calculated her advantages in being able to cover with her ships the seas of Constantinople and Greece, when the victorious Russians shall be received under the protection of her flag, no doubt some solid and imposing establishment, either in Candia, in Crete, or in the Morea.
Such an invasion would cause so immense an alteration in the political system, that one is amazed at the inaction of the powers of Europe, and their little care to prevent the destruction of the Ottoman empire not being as speedily effected as that of Poland. The present war must have annihilated all political foresight, that we permit an astonishing revolution to be accomplished without impediment, and of which all Europe is ready to become the theatre and the victim.
LONDON, April 23.
Colonel St. Leger is going out immediately to India with a principal command.
The redoubtable M. de Puissaye, a principal agitator of the Quiberon expedition, is not dead, as has been reported to the French directory. It was said that he fell in an engagement with the Republicans in La Vendee; but a gentleman, on whose authority we can rely, assures us, that he now commands a column of Chouans near Fougères, in the department of Lisle and Vilaine; and that there are letters in London from him, inviting several emigrants to join him, and rally once more round the standard of royalty.
M. de Puissaye was originally the servant, but lately the friend and coadjutor of the famous Count St. Morys, cidevant comptroller of finance, counsellor of the Parliament of Paris, and a relation of the equally famous Mons. de Calonne.
Puissaye is well known to most of the emigrants in London; and allied his master, St. Morys, in a paper manufactory in Sloan-street. For a further illustration of his character, we refer those who are interested to the French Princes, Count Metternich and Marshal de Broglie, Lord Engin.
Captain Markham was presented to the King by his father, the Archbishop of York, for the first time since his arrival from the West-Indies, where he commanded the Hannibal of 74 guns, and was very graciously received by his Majesty, who conversed with him some minutes.
LONDON, April 12.
It is expected the Bengal government would pro-
cure 15,000 tons of shipping, for the purpose of bringing home Rice. Subscriptions have been entered into in India to procure grain from all quarters to send to Europe; and the Bombay government were taking up ships with all expedition, for a similar purpose.
From the Cape we learn that there had been a remarkable fine harvest. Columbus had surrendered, and one entire regiment had laid down their arms; Ceylon is therefore intirely in our possession.
The following is the dispersion of the house of Bourbon:
The daughter of Louis XVI. is at Vienna, in the palace of her maternal ancestors.
The eldest brother of Louis XVI. is at Verona, and the princess his wife at a villa near Turin.
The second brother of Louis XVI. with his eldest son, is at Edinburgh; his wife at Turin; his second son at the head quarters of Conde's army at Ober-Buhl.
The prince de Conti lives at a country house in the southern part of France; his wife is at Friburg in Switzerland.
The sister of Louis XVI. princess royal of Sardinia, is at Turin; the Mesdames, ladies of France, daughters of Louis XV. reside at Rome.
The Theatre of the rue Feydeau is re-opened; with an order that no song shall be sung that is not announced in the bills. The advice of Shakespeare is made a decree of State—
"Let those who play your Clowns, speak no more than is set down for them."
STOCKHOLM, April 12.
Since yesterday the utmost expedition is used in order to get the galleys that lay here ready for sea; all the officers belonging to the regiments of Finland have already disappeared, and those of the Swedish regiments are also directed to set out for their respective stations. Even the garrison of the Capital has received orders to be ready to march at a moment's warning, and considerable sums in cash have been transmitted to the commander in chief of Finland.
The following extract of a letter appeared in the Gazette of the 9th inst.
"I am surprised to find by your letters that rumours of war have spread far in the provinces before; any thing of that kind was suspected in the capital, yet this is not more surprising than to see letters from Italy, dated in February last, which advance with confidence, that about this time Sweden would be embroiled in a war with her neighbours. However things now bear a very serious aspect. It is known, that not without weighty reasons, the troops of Finland are hastening to the frontiers, and that the whole Swedish army, the soldiers employed on board the fleet excepted, are ready to march. But who could refuse stepping forward in defence of his country, since we have already been informed that our young and beloved king will lead us on against our enemy?"
The courier arrived on the 10th has brought intelligence that hostilities have not yet commenced between our troops and the Russians. neither have the latter entered our frontiers which in general are in a very respectable state of defence.
We hear that the negotiations for an alliance between France and the Porte are drawing nearer to a conclusion. The articles are bottomed on the known capitulation of the 5th January, 1740, and respect has been had therein to the late treaty of alliance between Sweden and the Porte. It was probably for this reason, that Count Lowenhielm our ambassador at the Hague repaired to Paris to assist the Baron de Stael in settling the matter as far as it relates to Sweden. By this treaty it is intended to defeat the object of the triple alliance between the two Imperial courts and England. The French Minister Veruinac has by his loyal conduct gained a decisive ascendancy over the Reis Effendi Rais who will certainly not fail to support the French interest very powerfully.
BOSTON, June 8.
LEGISLATURE OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Yesterday the House went into consideration of a bill, reported by a joint committee, and passed in the Senate, providing for the choice of Electors of President and Vice President. By this report, each district is to choose an Elector, in the same manner as the Representatives are chosen, except two, who are to be elected by the Legislature, who are also to fill up vacancies. A motion was made by Mr. Coleman, to commit this report, for the purpose of referring the choice of the whole number of Electors to the Legislature, and a considerable debate ensued. It was argued by Messrs. Coleman, Sewall, Godman, Cooper, and others, in favor of the commitment, that the people in many districts had been inattentive to the town-meetings and indifferent to this right—that the President represented the states, and as in the event of a failure in the election, by a majority of votes, it is provided by the Constitution, that the votes in Congress shall be given by states; the propriety of such an arrangement in the first instance was contended for. On the other hand, although the constitutional right of the Legislature to choose the whole number of Electors, was admitted by Dr. Eustis, Col. Barnes, and other gentlemen, it was insisted upon the ground of expedience, the report should be accepted. It was then urged by Mr. Otis, that if the mode adopted in 1788 was revived, whereby the people elected double the number of Electors, from which the Legislature made the final choice, the objects of gentlemen on both sides, the question might be attained.
The question for commitment was lost, and the House concurred with the Senate, with some trifling amendments.
ARTILLERY COMMEMORATION.
On Monday, the 15th anniversary of the Election of officers of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, was celebrated. To the usual military arrangements of the day, the ceremony of receiving a Standard, presented by the commanding officer, quarter-master-gen. Davis, was added. The company having marched to the commandant's house, formed in open order, when the daughter of the general, Miss Catherine Davis, addressed the ensign, who attended escorted by the serjeants, on presenting him with the colours, as follows:

Sir, IN obedience to a command of my father, I have the pleasure to deliver to you, Sir, a Standard, for the Ancient and Honourable Artillery; and I comply with this order, in full confidence that it will be defended and protected by the soldier-citizens of that ancient and respectable company. As a Soldier, you no doubt will esteem it "your other self":—as such Death alone should part you. Convinced that it will never be deserted, I cheerfully present it, with my wishes that it may never be unfurled but in the cause of American Liberty and Independence.
To which Mr. KAHLER replied, MIS DAVIS, HIGHLY honored to receive from your hands so valuable a present, I shall have the honor to display it through the company, where it will receive that respect, defence, and protection, due from a soldier to his Standard. Accept, Sir, my sincere thanks, in behalf of the Ancient and Honourable Artillery.
The company then marched to the Council House, from whence it escorted His Excellency the Governor, His Hon. the Lt. Governor, the Hon. Council, and Military officers, to the Old Brick, where an ingenious sermon was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Bentley, of Salem, from Prov. xxx. 5, 6. From the meeting the company continued the escort of the Executive, Legislative, Judicial, and Military Officers and Members, the Judges of the Circuit Court, the Clergy, Municipal officers, foreigners of distinction, and honorary members, to Faneuil Hall, where they partook of a sumptuous and luxurious entertainment, the conclusion of which was enlivened by the following toasts:
1. The Day, May its celebration inspire the same patriotic ideas which influenced our venerable ancestors in its institution, in 1638. 2. The President of the United States. 3. His Excellency the Commander in Chief of the Commonwealth. May ingratitude, the impure crime of Republiks, never stain the character of the citizens of Massachusetts. 4. The Vice President and Congress of the United States. May Wisdom and Patriotism be the basis of all their measures; and thus founded, may they be supported with dignity and firmness. 5. His Honor the Lt. Governor, the Hon. Council, and Legislature of Massachusetts. May that spirit of Union which they have evinced, endure them to their constituents. 6. The Rev. Clergy. Ever ready to assist in the duties of this anniversary. May they be as highly revered as their piety, morality and patriotism have been conspicuous. 7. The Militia of the Commonwealth, Ever ready to obey orders, may they always be prepared to assist and successful in repelling every foe, foreign or domestic. 8. The Republics, States, and Kingdoms in alliance and in peace, with America. Like us, may they enjoy genuine Freedom and real Independence. 9. To the memory of those who have fallen in the cause of Liberty. 10. La Fayette, May we speedily embrace our fellow soldier in the land of Liberty. 11. Agriculture, Commerce, the Sciences and Mechanic Arts. May a reciprocity of interests unite them all in one golden chain. 12. Gen. Wayne, and his fellow soldiers of the Western army. In their new stations may they enjoy the repose due to their persevering valour. 13. The Constituted Authorities of the Individual States. In the harmonious Revolutions of the American Constellation, may no Comet ever interpose its baleful influence. 14. May Superstition, Intolerance, and Tyranny be swept away, by Knowledge, Reason, and real Liberty. 15. The American Fair. As citizens we will cherish, and as soldiers protect and defend them. 16. Peace to all contending nations and parties.
In the afternoon, the company marched into their appropriated square, in the Common, where they elected Mr. Thomas Clark, Captain—Captain Benjamin Russell, lieutenant—Mr. John G. Doubleday, Ensign—Messrs. Daniel Messinger, Samuel Hill, Samuel Perkins, and Jonathan Loring, Serjeants—Colonel John Winlow, Treasurer, and Mr. Edward Blanchard, Clerk. The company then escorted His Excellency and suite, into the square, where it went through a number of manoeuvres, evolutions and firings, to general acceptance.—The investment of badges then took place; and the company continued the escort of the Governor, to his house; and the rest of the procession to Faneuil Hall, where a collation was provided, which ended in the expressions of conviviality, and rational hilarity. The toasts of the evening we shall give on Saturday.
The Hall was neatly ornamented—To the usual decorations, was added that of a trophied urn, raised on a pedestal, with the words, "To the memory of those brave men who have fallen in the cause of Liberty"—and on the pedestal, these words, "Hic manus, ob patriam pugnando vulnera passit." The whole displayed much ingenuity, and received the highest eulogiums of the guests.

NEW-YORK, June 10. The Rev. Dr. Fobes of Massachusetts has constructed an Orrery and Panometron on new and ingenious principles, calculated to exhibit the motions of the heavenly bodies, in greater numbers and variety, than any machine of that kind hitherto invented. A committee of the American academy of sciences in that state have reported favorably of the machine, they prefer the union of the planetarium and sphere, and this position, is, in their opinion, better than a horizontal or vertical one.
The certain effect of war is to relax the restraints of law, and corrupt the moral habits of a nation. It is a melancholy truth, that neither love of country—love of Justice—nor any other principle, but fear, will restrain men from violations of duty and right. France experiences this truth in a deplorable degree. In the sittings of the Council of Five Hundred, April 2, Paltoret made the following representation, and it was not contradicted:
"I rise to call the attention of the Council to the calamities which scourge the country. The landmarks are removed—the inclosures are thrown open—the forests are laid waste—the brigandage is universal."
Law exists, but the penalties are insufficient.—They consist solely in damages, which are not high enough to restrain the evil. Besides, the justices of the peace are the only judges of these sorts of crimes, and every one knows that in the country, they are too much inclined to indulgence."
The speaker went on to propose imprisonment for such crimes, in lieu of damages, in which he was opposed, on the ground that imprisonment would deprive the country of the labor of useful men.
Bessroy said, "The Constitution requires respect to be paid to property—but it is a constant fact that in the country, property is no longer respected. The assertions of Paltoret are the exact truth. The rural code, every one knows, is not sufficient. There is but one voice on this subject. The national forests and the woods of private persons are a prey to the most horrible devastation.—The reasons are first, the penalties are not sufficient, second, the means of execution are inadequate."—(National Gazette, April 7.)
Facts of this kind display useful truths. They prove that republicans as well as the slaves of despotism (as the French call the subjects of monarchies) require to be governed by severe laws and rigid execution. They prove that, not the patriotism nor reason, nor virtue of men, but the rod of law, suspended over their heads, is the means of making even republicans good citizens. Facts of this sort, close on the heels of Godwin's political maxims, are an excellent antidote to his poison.
Mr. PITTS BUDGET. The produce of her new taxes and others destined to defray the new expenses of G. Britain, is stated by Mr. Pitt as follows:
Dog tax £. 100,000 Tax on hats 40,000 on wine 600,000 740,000 Extras to be provided for. Army 2,500,000 Navy 400,000 Exchequer bills 1,000,000 7,500,000 Interest 575,000
Mr. Pitt dwells on the flourishing state of British commerce. In 1792, the most prosperous year, the exports amounted to 24 millions sterling—but the last year, 1795, the amount had swelled to 27 millions.

SHIP MOUNT VERNON. A letter from Capt. Dominick late master of the Mount Vernon of this port to Messrs. Willings and Francis dated 10th inst. off Wilmington, contains the following information. "That they had not dismissed their Pilot more than two hours—Cape Henlopen bearing west distant about 6 leagues, Thursday morning 8 o'clock when they observed the Schooner Flying Fish about one league ahead, who immediately bore down upon them, fired a shot and ordered their boat on board, which was complied with. The boat with the second officer and 4 men went on board to know their commands; the officer and men were detained by this privateer—which sent the boat back with 14 armed men, and orders to capt. Dominick to land the ship's papers, saying in the mean time that the ship was laden with naval stores. The captain accordingly carried his papers, which the privateer men took possession of, but did not examine, and declared the Mount Vernon to be a good prize.—The Capt. Dominick expostulated on the impropriety of their conduct towards American ships and property of our citizens. They replied that they had good information from one of the first American houses in Philadelphia that the ship had naval stores on board. Capt. Dominick then prevailed on them to examine the manifest and register—and they appeared at length to be convinced that she was loaded only with articles which were on board, viz. Coffee, Sugar, Rum, Staves, Fustic and logwood. Their only plea then was, that since the Treaty with Great-Britain, they had orders, and were determined to take every American vessel bound to or from British ports, even on suspicion of going to them. After forcing capt. D. and all his ship's company out of the ship they sent them on board of the Flying Fish."
This privateer mounts six 9 pounders and has 75 men. The capt. and owner of the privateer is named Paris, and lives at No. 399, north Front St. He told capt. D. that he had a list of ships that he intended to take, viz. the Atlantic, William Penn, and Dominick Terry. The people belonging to the Mount Vernon were put on board a pilot boat and are since come up to town." The ship Philadelphia capt. Bliss, bound to Bristol, being informed of this affair, put back.
By a gentleman who came up from below, yesterday, we learn that the Flying Fish lay at anchor off Cape Henlopen, last Friday morning, the 10th inst. The pilot-boat failed round here—she is full of men, and they observed several Americans among the crew. The William Penn had put to sea on Thursday.
CHARLESTON, June 1. The Julia made a remarkable quick passage from Surinam, only 21 days, and would probably have had a shorter, but for detention by British armed vessels.
Mr. Wright, of the house of Crocker, Hickborn and Wright, came passenger in the Julia. Mr. Wright confirms the account of the arrival of a Dutch squadron (but not at Surinam, or commanded by rear Admiral Barney,) at Cayenne commanded by Admiral Brakel, it consisted of 5 sail of the line and three frigates with troops; part of the force was destined for St. Eustatia, and Cu-racoa the remainder were expected hourly at Surinam.
This information may be relied on as Mr. W. had it from the governor of Surinam, the day he failed and the governor had received it officially.
An attack on Surinam, was expected from the British, but not feared as they were prepared to defend the assailants with it.
Rice sold at 7 dollars per cwt. at Surinam, but from its scarcity, it will certainly rise. There was no want of provisions, nor did what was there command a very high price.
BALTIMORE, June 8. About 14 days ago, capt. Phillips arrived from Surinam, at Charleston (S. C.) and brought the following intelligence; the King of Denmark has guaranteed property taken on freight by Danish vessels; in consequence of which no American vessels could obtain any freight at Surinam. A Charleston paper of the 28th ult. says that some British ships of war are cruising off that coast, and have for some time boarded almost all the vessels that came into Charleston harbour. They are supposed to be the Prevoyante, capt. Beresford, and Hussar capt. Weems, which failed from New-York for Bermuda, on the 9th ult.
251
about an hour ago the Admiral's tender arrived from the South side and brings advice of a French 40 gun ship, one of eight that sailed from Rochelle being taken off the east end of this island by the Intrepid, and sent down to Jamaica."
Extract of a letter from a French Gentleman, dated Baltimore, June 10. "Last night I received a letter dated Cayenne, 21st Poreal (April 20.) My correspondent informs that citizen Franet, accompanied by citizen Lannetterre, the new Governor, and citizen Masse the Ordinator of the Colony, besides several other officers of the Administration, had arrived there three days before, all in good health. The frigate La Medee, the corvette La Bergere, and the cutter Le Dragon, are consequently at Cayenne."
The Republican brig Le Crocodile carrying 24 pounders, and 350 men, which citizen Pelony some time since brought to Cayenne, has just taken near the mouth of the Amazone, the Portuguese ship La Princesse Royale, commanded by one Trinida, a Lieutenant in the Navy, carrying 12 nine pounders, 59 men, and laden with ship timber, 150,000 weight of cocoa, coffee, cotton, &c and six boxes of Piastres. This ship was coming out of the Amazone, and struck without firing a gun.—The sight of the tri-coloured flag alone made them fall down on their knees. I vouch for the truth of the above intelligence.
LONDON, April 23.
THE MONIED INTEREST.
The funded and unfunded debts explained. Mr. Pitt made a distinction on Monday evening in his speech, between the advantages of speculating on the funded and floating debt, which was very fair and well founded, but which the public at large does not perhaps understand.
It is this—All government debts are of equal solidity as to their real foundation; but the fate that awaits the funded debt is known. It is nothing more than a perpetual annuity, the capital of which cannot be obtained or expected from government at any fixed period, nor can it be paid within any reasonable time by the course of liquidation which arises from the sinking fund.
A stockholder never can retouch his capital but by bringing his flock to market; money vested in the funds is therefore generally the property of such people as, not being in trade, only wish for a regular and secure income.
The floating debt, on the other hand, first exists as the property of some merchant, contractor, or agent, who has received it in payment. It always bears some discount; but being payable within a short time at par, it offers a lucrative, though temporary employment for capitals; and therefore many of those rich men who would otherwise lodge money at their bankers, which would be employed in discounting notes, lay it out in navy and exchequer bills.
The same men would not lay out their money in the funds, as no wife man, who is not a gambler, would lay out a sum that may be greatly diminished at the rate by which he will be obliged, perhaps, to sell, if he must withdraw his money on any certain fixed day.
The floating debt is not liable to this disadvantage; so that, besides increasing in value as the term of its payment approaches, all great loss is out of the question, because, till the whole fabric of national debt fails, which we trust never will, no great loss can possibly be sustained.
The floating debt, therefore, it is which absorbs that capital usually destined for discounts, and of consequence which engages that money usually employed for the purpose of commerce.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, Philadelphia, June 11, 1796.
For Sale,
That Valuable Estate known by the name of
Mount Hope Iron-Works,
SITUATE in the county of Morris, and state of New Jersey; twelve miles from Morris-town and thirty from Elizabeth Town or Newark Landings; consisting of one large furnace in good repair, with the belt wooden bellows, drove by an overshot wheel of forty feet diameter, a bellow-house, calling-house, bridge-house, and a large moulding-house, all in good order, together with a great variety of the most approved patterns of pots, kettles, tea-kettles, &c. &c. with a sufficiency of flasks therefor, and also a great variety of all kinds of stove patterns, and a complete set of patterns and apparatus for calling potash kettles. Near the furnace is a large new magazine for hollow ware, bar iron, &c. &c. a large convenient car-penter's and wheelwright's shop, a blacksmith's shop with two fires, a nailor's shop, and a stamping mill, a coal-house that will hold six hundred loads of coal, a large, convenient store, consisting of several rooms, two excellent barns and stables, a slaughter-house near the store, together with a great variety of houses for the workmen very convenient to the furnace.
The furnace is supplied with water from a number of springs, which render a supply certain: the pond consists of about thirty acres: the mansion-house is built of stone, two stories high, with four rooms with fire-places on the first floor, and a large handsome hall, and five rooms with four fire-places on the second floor, with a very fine high garet, in which there are two fire-places, with a handsome piazza in front, the whole length of the house: at each end of the house is a handsome wing; one used for a kitchen, with servants rooms above; the other for a counting-house; and a cellar under the whole house, a well of the best water at the door, smoke and other convenient out-houses, with two excellent gardens, in one of which is a large asparagus bed, several orchards of the best grafted fruit, and one hundred and fifty acres of upland, which may be tilled to advantage. In front of the mansion-house and in full view, is a most beautiful meadow of two hundred and fifty acres, in which may now be cut one hundred and fifty tons of the best Hay, besides affording a sufficiency of pasture for the teams, and as much more meadow may be easily put in, besides raising a large quantity of corn, potatoes and turnips. The lands belonging to this estate consist of about ten thousand acres; on which are the Mines for the works, two of which are of the best quality, one so near that a single horse and cart will bring ten tons per day, the other, a team of four horses may bring six tons. Besides the above there are several other mines of inferior quality very convenient, the iron of which is good for nails, and when mixed makes excellent castings. The mines are in good order, with proper levels for drawing off the water, and flats at proper distances. Near the Works have been discovered several beds of Bog Ore, and there is no doubt, with a little attention, a sufficient supply thereof may be procured. All the mines are supplied with proper houses for the miners. Within a mile and a half of the furnace there is an inexhaustible vein of limestone; from whence not only a supply for the furnace may be had, but also any quantity for building or manure. Within less than a mile of the furnace is about twenty acres of the best double spruce for beer; and near it is a celebrated mineral spring; and two and a half miles from the furnace, within the tract, are two valuable sites for Forges and Saw-Mills, on an excellent stream of water; and two large ponds may be made, and a permanent supply may be had, by a small expence, from a Lake of four miles in length and one mile wide, and adjacent a sufficiency of wood may be had: near to one of the sites is a good farm-house, and about eighty acres of arable land, a valuable orchard, and meadow to cut thirty tons of Hay; and in the swamp that will form the pond there may now be cut fifty tons of hay.
Belonging to the same Estate, and within three miles thereof, nearer the Landing, is a good NEW FORGE, with two fires, in complete order and repair, situate on Rockaway river, which furnishes a constant supply of water: adjoining which is a good convenient dwelling-house, with three rooms and a good kitchen on the first floor, and a good barn and stable; also a large, convenient store, which is now kept for the supply of the iron-works and the country; and this situation is very convenient for the works, much more so than to have the dry-goods store kept at the furnace.
Adjoining to the foregoing Estate, and within four miles thereof, may be had if wanted, a tract of six thousand acres of Woodland, and a site for a Forge, on a stream of water very sufficient in every respect; together with several houses now built, and a tract of three hundred and fifty acres of fine low land; a great part of which will make, with a little expense, meadow sufficient to cut one hundred and fifty tons of hay; and now affords a great supply of pasture—the residue is arable and woodland.
AND ALSO TO BE SOLD,
All that VALUABLE ESTATE, called
Booneton Iron-Works,
SITUATE in the county of Morris, within eighteen miles of Newark Landing, and eight miles of Morris-Town: containing about three thousand five hundred acres of land, lying on both sides of Rockaway river, for near four miles.
On the premises is a FORGE with four fires and two hammers, in complete repair, which embraces the whole river, a SLITTING MILL, built in the most approved manner, with two furnaces for heating iron, with rolls, pillars, cutters, and every other apparatus in the most complete order, with a blacksmith's shop, coal-house, &c. &c. On the same dam is a very complete SAW-MILL; so that the slitting-mill has the full command of the whole river, with a head of twelve feet.
Immediately below, end on another dam, is an excellent NEW GRIST-MILL, with two run of stones, and constructed for a third. The mill is large, and convenient for a merchant mill, and situate in a country which will afford a constant supply of grain.
All the works are in complete view of the mansion-house, and within half a mile of it, which is a handsome building, with five rooms on the first floor with fire places, and four rooms up stairs, all in excellent repair, with a large kitchen and cellars, and a well of excellent water at the door. In front of the house is a piazza, sixty feet long, an excellent garden, with a great abundance of the best kind of Fruit; the out-houses are convenient and good; consisting of a large spring milk-house, ice-house, smoke-house, low-house, corn-crib, root-house, good barns and stables, &c. &c. Also, within view of the mansion-house, are twelve dwelling-houses, a counting-house, a stone house, occupied as a store for the country and works
a large, convenient house, with six rooms, four with fire places, occupied by the clerks; the residue of the houses are for foremen, millers, &c. There is, adjoining the store, a POT-ASH WORKS, in complete order: blacksmith's shop, and wheelwright's shop, and other convenient appendages.
As Rockaway river runs through this estate about four miles, in which distance near twenty mill-sites may be made, so as to occupy the whole of this very valuable and constant supply of water, it may be justly considered as a very valuable object for any person or persons desirous of going into the manufacturing line.
On the premises, and adjoining the mansion-house, are about one hundred acres of arable land; whereon are two orchards of three hundred trees, of the best grafted fruit: and within two miles and a half of the forge is a very fine Farm of two hundred and fifty acres of land, in the best and most complete order, with one hundred acres of meadow, two houses, a good barn, and other necessary improvements—the residue is woodland, on which are a number of houses for the colliers, &c. &c.
AND ALSO, Near three thousand acres of Land; situate in the valley of Newfoundland, about sixteen miles north west from Booneton, in the counties of Morris and Sussex, whereon is a very good Forge of two fires, and a number of other buildings adjoining thereto, for the accommodation of the workmen, with an excellent vein of Iron Ore, situate about one mile west from the tract.
The above Estates will be sold on easy terms, together with all the horses, oxen, waggons, tools, and every implement necessary to carry on the works. There is now provided wood and ore for eight months blast; so that the Furnace will be put in blast the beginning of June. Any person wishing to purchase, may have the whole as they now are: there is also wood, &c. &c. provided at Booneton.
The terms will be payment down for all the moveable property of every kind, appertaining to the Furnace, and one eighth of the purchase money—the residue in eight yearly payments, with the interest annually every year.
A clear and indisputable title will be given for the whole. Apply to Mr. Samuel Clarkson, in Philadelphia, Mr. Peter Mackie, Merchant, New-York, Water-Street; or to either of the subscribers.

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 nett 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 Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient 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. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the more suspension indispensable.
