Foreign Intelligence.
STOCKHOLM, April 18.
As soon as the public here were informed of the measures taken by our Government for the protection of the neutral commerce of the Nation, every citizen showed himself zealous to contribute to the expenses of the naval armament. The first proposal of these voluntary contributions was made on the day before yesterday on the Exchange. The sums already collected amount to two tons of gold and were offered to the Duke Regent by a deputation, composed of two Nobles, Baron Geer and Hermelin, two Magistrates, two respectable Citizens, and two of the class denominated "The Peasants."
The convention between our court and that of Denmark has been fully ratified on the third instant.
PARIS, April 2.
Several celebrated magistrates, famous Ex-Constituents, and Aristocrats of every state and age, and of both sexes, have just terminated their career under the blade of the guillotine. Among them are President de Maleherbes, aged 72 years, an ex-minister, and the defender of Louis XVI. le Marquis de Chateau Briant, captain of the royal regiment of cavalry; Madame de Pelletier de Rosambo, Duval, Dupremeni, ex-counsellor of the Parliament of Paris; Thouret and Chapelier, ex-constituents; Aelle, Syndic counsellor of the nobility of Alsace; la Duchesse de Grammont; and de Rochechouart, the latter the widow of Duchatelet; Vicomte de Rochechouart-Pontelle, brigadier of the armies; Parmentier, receiver of rents; Baugrand, an ex-recorder; de Cœux a priest; Julien, a counsellor; Descand, a Printer at Douay, &c.
April 27.
Yesterday was a great day for the bloody vengeance of the guillotine in the capital; and, notwithstanding the majority of those who fell were of the undistinguished class, still the singular causes which led them to punishment are deserving of notice. Bartel, a midwife, was condemned for having hawked about among her acquaintance, a letter, which ascribed to Robespierre a plan for the establishment of Louis XVII. on the throne; Bonin, a Printer, for having in public employed the expression, "Robespierre the Sovereign;" Schweyer, a shoemaker, for having posted up bills, tending to provoke the massacre of several Deputies; Pommery, a hair-dresser, for having exclaimed in prison, Vive le Roi! and Noel, a tinsman, for having treated ludicrously the ceremony observed at Meaulx, when the acceptance of the Republican Constitution was celebrated there.
GENOA, March 29.
Our government lately arrested suspected packets, addressed to the French Minister. It has opened them in his presence, had suppressed the revolutionary papers, which were inclosed. The money addressed to the same Minister has been given up as not contraband. On the 11th the government arrested two Nobles and two Citadini, for having been guilty of incendiary propositions. Their arrest has made no noise, as neither of them possesses either personal consideration or influence.
At the very moment when our government manifests the greatest firmness in its conduct towards the Minister of France and his partisans, it has refused the demand made by the English to permit ships of war to enter the port of Genoa, to take under convoy a number of ships destined for England. They have answered, "that the Genoese will receive them very willingly, if they would cease the hostilities which are incompatible with their demands, to enter that port as friends, and if they would present themselves with the number of ships prescribed by the rights of nations."
LONDON, April 30.
The conspiracy in Naples against the Royal Family, our letters of yesterday inform us, was occasioned solely by the jealousy of the Nobles, on account of the principal offices of the state being occupied by strangers. The King had retired to a country seat under a guard of 4000 men, and when the last advices came away, the city of Naples was in a state of the most violent fermentation!
The accounts which the Porte received from Egypt on the 12th ult. are said to be of the most alarming nature. The adherents of Vahable are at the distance of five days march from Mecca, and all the Tribes have declared
themselves in their favor. All the country from Bagdad to Bassora, and 20 days journey farther, is in open rebellion.
Several Persons who had the good fortune to escape from Bourdeaux within the course of last month, agree in stating that bread is extremely dear and scarce in that city, and that each inhabitant is allowed to purchase only half a pound per day. On the day of the decade, that is every tenth day, there is no distribution of this essential article of life, inasmuch that for that day a small saving is of necessity made from the allowance of the other nine.
Monday 5000 stand of arms were lodged in the Tower; taken from on board a Danish ship brought into the river.
The following particulars respecting Madame Fauchez, mentioned in the Times of Monday, may be depended upon:—The husband of this lady who has property in this country and St. Domingo, offered a considerable sum of money to an American captain in one of our ports, if he would go to Bourdeaux, where Mad. Fauchez and her three children were, and endeavor to bring them over. On his passage, he was searched by a French Frigate, which took from him a Frenchman he had on board—Upon his arrival at Bourdeaux, he contrived in the middle of the night to get Mad. Fauchez on board, concealed in a water-cask. The French pilot discovered the circumstance from the crew carrying provisions and water to her in that situation; she was stowed under the ballast, and the only air she received, was from the pump hole upon deck. The pilot threatened the captain to inform, if he did not immediately land her on shore, which he did: but got her on board again in the night, taking care to make the pilot drunk; and on the following day he set sail.
The American ship met the same Frigate in returning from England; who searched it very narrowly, but did not discover the lady. The French informed the captain that the Frenchman they took from him, was a spy, employed by England, and that they had him guillotined at Brest immediately. The captain arrived safe, and landed Mad. Fauchez in England. She is a very beautiful young woman, not 20 years of age. No mention is made of the three children.
From the London Gazette Extraordinary.
Admiralty Office, April 28, 1794.
The letter, of which the following is an extract, was this day received from rear admiral Macbride.
La Concorde, Plymouth Sound, April 25.
SIR,
I have the honor to acquaint you of my arrival here with his majesty's ship under my command, with a French frigate, which we took in the afternoon of the 23d instant. The early transactions of that day have been detailed to you by sir John Warren; but as the Flora was at too great a distance to observe my proceedings in the afternoon, I beg to relate the particulars of my conduct from the time we passed the Pomone after she had surrendered. About eleven, A. M. we were near enough to receive and return the fire of the enemy's two frigates which were making off. It was my intention to endeavor to disable the sternmost, and leave her for the ships of his majesty which were following us, and push on to attack the leading ship; but in this I was disappointed, for the leading ship bore down, and closed to support his second, and laying herself across our bows, soon disabled us in our sails and rigging so much, that we dropped astern. We soon got our sails on the ship again, and I purposed to keep the enemy's two ships in cheque till our's arrived, as the only means of taking them both; but finding the day far advanced, and little probability of our being assisted, as our ships rather dropped, and expecting our main-topmast, which was shot through, to go every minute, knowing that if our mast went, both the ships must escape, I determined to secure the one I was nearest. She was assisted some time by her second, but, changing sides in the smoke, it prevented him from annoying us. She was defended with the greatest bravery from twelve till a quarter past two, P. M. when being silenced, and totally unmanageable, they called they had surrendered. She proved to be l'Engageante, of 34 guns and 4 carronades, with 300 men.
The other frigate le Resolue, after firing a few shot, stood on, and our ship, much cut up in her sails and rigging, was not in a condition to follow her. The mast of l'Engageante, in the evening as we attempted to tow her, fell, and expecting our's to go also, I availed myself of seeing the Nymph
and Melampus, returning from the c. of the Resolue, to make the signal for assistance. The Nymph join'd us at night, and we sced for this port.
I must request you will please to inform their lordships, that the zealous, cool and steady conduct of the officers and ships company was highly meritorious in the action; and their efforts in resisting the ship, after the fatigue they had experienced, exceeded any exertion I ever saw before. As the first lieutenant, Charles Epithorne, was most with me, I had an opportunity of observing the spirited enterprise which pervaded his conduct, and I must acknowledge the great assistance he was of to me from the able manner in which he performed the various duties I employed him upon; and am convinced also of the good conduct of lieutenants Boys and Beane, who commanded on the main deck. I enclose a report of the damages and state of the ship. And have the honor to be, &c.

STATE PAPER.
Convention between his Britannic Majesty and the States General of the United Provinces,—Signed at the Hague; the 19th of April, 1794.
His Britannic Majesty and the Lords the States General of the United Provinces, desiring to put his Prussian Majesty into a situation to prosecute with vigour the war in which the greatest part of the powers of Europe find themselves engaged, through the unjust aggression of those who have exercised the powers of government in France, a negotiation has been opened for this purpose at Berlin, which, having since been transferred to the Hague, has been terminated this day, by which the maritime powers have engaged themselves to furnish to his Prussian majesty the sums specified in the above mentioned treaty, to the ends which are also announced in it. In consequence of this treaty, his Britannic Majesty and their high mightinesses the States General of the United Provinces, desiring to come to a further understanding between themselves upon the reparation of the said sums to be furnished to his Prussian majesty, have resolved to conclude for that purpose, between themselves, the present convention, and have named in consequence, that is to say, his Britannic Majesty, the Lord Baron Malmesbury, Peer of the kingdom of Great Britain, a privy counsellor, and knight of the order of the Bath; and their high mightinesses the States General, the Sieurs Laurent Pierre van de Spiegel, counsellor-pensionary of the province of Holland and of West Friesland, keeper of the seals, and deputy of the said province at the assembly of the states general, and Henri Fagel, Greffier of their high mightinesses:—Who, after having mutually communicated their respective full powers, and having found them in good and due form, have settled the following articles:
Art. I. Their high mightinesses the States General, shall furnish for their quota part of the entire sum to be paid to his Prussian majesty, in order to enable him to fulfil the engagements which he has contracted by the treaty of subsidy, concluded and signed this day, the sum of four hundred thousand pounds sterling after the same valuation which is stipulated for in the above mentioned treaty: which sum shall be divided in such a manner that one hundred thousand pounds sterling may be appropriated to answer part of the expenses expressed in the said treaty under the name of "charges of completing, of putting in motion, and of establishment," whilst the remaining three hundred thousand pounds shall be divided into nine equal portions, to answer in part the expenses of bread and forage, according to the valuation of the said treaty, and in part of subsidy, which his Britannic majesty and their high mightinesses have engaged themselves by article III. of the treaty to furnish to his Prussian majesty.
Art. II. As the existing circumstances do not permit their high mightinesses to enter into engagements subsidiary to an indefinite term, it is understood that the present Convention will not be extended beyond the term of the present year; but, if unhappily the war should not then be finished, his Britannic majesty and the states general would consult together, in order to take, from time to time, all the adequate measures for renewing this convention, and for supporting with vigour the just cause in which his Britannic majesty, and their high mightinesses find themselves engaged.
Art. III. The present convention shall be ratified on both sides, and the exchange of the ratifications shall take
place as soon as it is possible.
In faith of which we, plenipotentiaries of his Britannic majesty, and of the lords, states general of the united provinces, in virtue of our respective powers, have signed the present convention, and affixed to it the seal of our arms.
Done at the Hague, the nineteenth of April, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four.

Extrait of a Letter from Warsaw.
The 17th of this month has proved a dreadful day to Warsaw. General Igelstrom, a few days before, had given orders to the whole of the Russian cavalry, in garrison there, to march for Warsaw, to join all the troops which had been previously detached, in order to act against the army under General Kosciusko.
When the insurrection took place on the 17th, in the morning, General Igelstrom ordered the only three battalions of Russian Infantry who remained in the garrison to take up arms; at the same time he sent a message to the King, informing his Majesty of the event. The King sent him word, that he had been already informed of what had happened; that his Majesty had only to add a request to the General, to send all his troops out of the capital, in order to prevent bloodshed, until the minds of the people shall in some measure be pacified.
General Igelstrom, in the mean time had sent General Bauer, at the head of a detachment, to protect the Arsenal; but this was too late. The Patriots had already rendered themselves masters of all the artillery contained in that building; and the latter General, with his detachment, on their arrival, were forced to lay down their arms, and surrender prisoners of war.
The Patriots afterwards, provided with arms from the Arsenal, formed themselves in order of battle, and marched against a battalion of the Russian Infantry, whom they drove out of the town.
General Igelstrom, however, placed himself at the head of the other two battalions, and took post in a street where he was determined to defend himself; these battalions were fired upon with great violence from every window; and, after an engagement which lasted thirty three hours without intermission, the Russians were driven from Warsaw, with the loss of half their number killed. Generals Igelstrom, Apraxin and Subow, at the head of the Russian Infantry, these joined the Prussian corps under Gen. Wolky, stationed in the neighborhood of that capital. The people of Warsaw were obliged to set on fire several houses where the Russian soldiers had posted themselves, during the engagement.
The Palaces and Houses that were inhabited by the Russian Officers and their adherents, were plundered by the people.
The Magistrates had assembled during the tumult, but all their endeavors to restore tranquility proved ineffectual.
The Patriots have since sent an account of this revolution to General Kosciusko, at Cracow, at the same time inviting that General to come to their assistance.
PHILADELPHIA,
JULY 2.
Last evening arrived the ship America, Captain Ewing, in forty four days from Bourdeaux, having failed from that place on the 18th of May. Paris papers to the 9th of May, and Bourdeaux of the 17th received by this vessel, contain some very interesting details of the several engagements between the French and allied armies, and of a decided victory obtained by the French over the Spanish army. Capt. Ewing says that the French fleet was still in port, and that the convoy from the Chesapeake had not arrived.
Extrait of a letter from Mr. William Weaver, to Mr. Jacob Weaver, dated Kingston 3d June, 1794, communicated to the Governor by Mr. Robert Ralston.
The yellow fever is raging very bad on board the shipping here. The fleet that arrived a few days ago, have most all their crews down with it, and die very fast; and a great many gentlemen who came passengers, have died.
I think it would be necessary to make every vessel ride quarantine, that comes from Kingston to Philadelphia.
Centre Furnace, 22d June, 1794
SIR,
I beg leave to inform your Excellen-
cy, that in the night of the 17th inst. two parties of Indians that were out near Chin-chien-sa Old Town, have abandoned their camp and stores in consequence of their discovering five Indians that were painted black, one of those parties have returned down the Bald Eagle, and the other to Spruce Creek—I have sent for information to each, and they all agree as above mentioned.—Mr. Hunter, a surveyor of Huntingdon county was with them, and returned the 19th inst. I sent a person to him to gain intelligence, who returned this morning, and he assured him that it is a fact. Further accounts say, that a large party of Indians have lately crossed the Allegheny river, a small distance above Fort Pitt, which occasions considerable uneasiness amongst the inhabitants on the frontiers; few of the people in this country have arms of ammunition, which renders their situation disagreeable in case of an attack.
I have the honor to be, Sir, Your Excellency's Most humble servant, JOHN PATTON. His Excellency Governor Mifflin.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-LONDON, June 22.
Arrived, brig Peggy, I. Pratt in 15 days from Barbadoes, via Turk's Island; off Porto Rico, saw a fleet of men of war of 7 sail, 3 of which were 3 deckers, and the others appeared to be frigates, all full of troops with red caps on; the next day saw 5 sail, they all appeared to be bound to Hispaniola. A British officer who was passenger on board Capt. Pratt from Barbadoes to Turk's Island, thought them to be French ships bound to the Cape. Left at Turk's Island, brig —, Capt. Gore of New-York, to sail the next day; at Barbadoes, ship Eliza, —, of Providence, from the Isle of France; she was detained on account of her papers, but was liberated—to sail in a day or two.
BOSTON, June 25.
The Legislature of New-Hampshire has disagreed in the choice of a Federal Senator.—The Senate have chosen, on their part, the hon. James Sheaffe, Esq. The House, by a considerable majority, non-concurred the choice, and sent up the hon. John Langdon, Esq. Further we have not learnt.
Foreign Intelligence.
TURIN, [in Italy] April 12.
The French violating the Genoese territory, and passing by Ventimiglia, between the 7th and 8th inst. entered the principality of Oneglia, where they committed every species of depredation. They seized a height which commands the fort of Savourge, and as we had not then in that quarter a sufficient number of troops to oppose them, they staid there between the 9th and 10th; so that we considered Savourge as lost.
At length our reinforcement of troops arrived, and in marching towards the Genoese territory, they took a very advantageous post to dislodge the French. A most obstinate action ensued; our troops were repulsed four times successively; but at length, the bravery and firmness of our Royal Grenadiers surmounted every obstacle; and at the fifth charge completely overthrew the French. A considerable butchery was made of them; and the remainder were pursued to the Genoese country, driving them to Port Maurice, where we are assured there was a division of our fleet, which immediately disembarked the troops which it had on board; so that the French finding themselves between two fires, which they were unable to support, were all taken prisoners, to the number of about 7000 men.
Our Generals are desirous of profiting by this great advantage, and intend to march forward.—To this they are the more encouraged, as at the time of this affair, the tocsin being sounded in all the environs, in 7 or 8 hours, from 18 to 20,000 Peasants assembled in arms, which proves how much they are attached to their religion and their King; and how greatly they abhor the French.
Contrary to the above,
The accounts laid before the Convention of the success of the French in Oneglia, say, they did not commit any devastation on the property of the subject—they spared even the church; they respected every right, and evinced no desire to interfere in their religious opinions. April 28. No accounts were received in the Convention of the defeat mentioned in the preceding article.
GENOA, April 9.
The French have 30,000 men in the

country of Nice, and are making a road by the sea side for the transport of their artillery, at the same time that they are preparing gun boats at Toulon.
LUXEMBOURG, May 1.
Gen. Clairfayt wrote to Capt. Robinson, of the Brilliant frigate, off Ostend; and also to Gen. Stewart, the governor, acquainting them that the French, to the number of 60,000 men, had attacked him in his position to cover Ostend, which was the object of the enemy; that he had repulsed them several times before they made any impression: On the eighth attack they penetrated his lines, and forced him to retreat, with the loss of about 23 pieces of cannon. His loss in men had not been so great as at first apprehended. Gen. Clairfayt adds, that he had only three brigades, (not 10,000 men) and that his defeat was not of a nature to endanger Ostend; that by Thursday last his reinforcements would be all arrived; and that if Monsieur Pichegru did not pay him a second visit, he, Gen. Clairfayt, would march in search of him. Thirty waggons loaded with the plunder of Courtray, had been retaken from the enemy.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, April 23.
Billaud Varennes, presented in the name of the committee of public safety, the following decree, which was adopted unanimously:—
That, supported by the virtues of the people of France, the National Convention will establish Democracy, and punish all the enemies of that Democracy.
April 30.
Barrere informed, that eight prizes had been brought into Brest, L'Orient, and Rochefort:—“One of our ships of the line, has taken an English frigate, and an English ship of the line has been burnt in the Mediterranean. Seven prizes has been sent into the ports of Brest and St. Malo. One of our frigates has sunk two ships laden with iron and brandy, the ships' crews were, however, saved.”
CORK, May 17.
Last night arrived in the Cove, the French frigate of 36 guns, captured by his majesty's ship Swiftsure of 74 guns, Capt. Boyle. [This frigate kept up a running fight of some hours with the man of war, and lost several men killed.]
The Marquis Cornwallis is appointed to command the Prussian troops in the pay of Great Britain.
It was yesterday currently reported in the city, that Gen. Pichegru, finding his retreat cut off by the duke of York, had begun to entrench himself, and that the allies were preparing to attack him, with the most confident hopes of success. There is great probability in this rumour; but at a late hour last night, no dispatches had arrived from his royal highness, posterior to those contained in the Gazette.
OSTEND, May 5.
The 8th regiment of light horse, commanded by Colonel LaFleches, lately disembarked at this place, is composed entirely of Irish and is very desirous of being in action, and take prisoners, that when their parties are on the look out, they take Hanoverians, Hessians, and every person they meet who cannot speak English. A very laughable circumstance of this kind occurred yesterday morning in the neighbourhood of Ostend:
A picquet belonging to the Irish regiment was in motion about six miles from the town, and the officer who commanded ordered one man to advance about a mile on the road, and to fire if he saw an enemy. The man fired and returned to the picquet in full gallop, swearing most vehemently that he had discharged his pistol at 15,000 Frenchmen, who were advancing with the utmost expedition to Ostend. Two Hanoverians came up at this moment who belonged to the detachment employed to convoy three pieces of artillery, taken that morning from the French at Roussilliere. The Irish immediately took them prisoners. They expostulated, but could not make themselves understood. The Hibernians swore, that as they could not speak English, they must be French, and absolutely proceeded with them to Ostend, as prisoners of war.
LONDON, April 28.
We learn by a Gazette of the 20th, that on the 17th, the rich banker, La Borde, formerly banker to the court, was taken up, and committed to the Conciergerie, where, after undergoing a secret examination, he was imprisoned
ed till the 19th, and on that day guillotined.
Jouffesse the banker, has suffered the same fate.
The Countesses de Montmorin and de la Luzerne are arrested.
The Paris papers mention, that the first division of the Brest fleet has sailed, under the command of Admiral de Nifles; but neither the number of ships, nor its probable destination, are mentioned. Lord Howe sailed from St. Helen's on Saturday.
The total amount of the army under the command of his Imperial Majesty is estimated at 187,000; namely, 15,000 Dutch, and 15,000 Austrians, under the command of the Prince of Orange and General Latour, by whom the siege of Landrecies is formed; and 15,000 British, and 15,000 Austrians, commanded by the Duke of York and General Otto, encamped on the side of Cambray, to watch the motions of the great French army. The Emperor, and the Prince of Saxe Cobourg are at the head of 60,000 Austrians, in the vicinity of Guise; 12,000 Hessians and Austrians, under the command of Gen. Worms, are stationed near Donay and Bouchain, Count Kaunitz, with 15,000 Austrians defends the Sambre, and the quarter of Maubeuge. And, lastly, Gen. Clairfayt with 40,000 Austrians and Hanoverians, protects Flanders, from Tournay to the sea-side.
The number of British ships of war now in commission exceeds all former exertions in the naval line. The list made made up to the 20th includes the following now in actual service; of the line, 93; of 50 guns, ten; frigates from 40 to 24 guns each, 119; sloops, cutters, &c. 91; revenue cutters, 37; armed ships, 28; tenders (which last are employed chiefly on the impress service at different ports of Great Britain and Ireland) 24.
IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION.
Relative to the recent troubles in Poland. WE Francis II. by the Grace of God, Emperor, King of the Romans, Emperor throughout Germany, King of Jerusalem, &c.
We have already admonished our Gallician subjects, on the 14th of Feb. last year, in a paternal manner, to refrain entirely from all participation in the plans and endeavors of that time, to occasion fresh changes and ferments in Poland.—We have also perceived, with the greatest pleasure, the obedience of our Gallician subjects, and their love of order and tranquility, founded upon true principles.
Whereas we now learn with displeasure, that fresh and violent troubles exist in the neighboring kingdom of Poland, which are contrary to the established order, and disturb at the same time our Gallician frontiers; and whereas the interruption of the public tranquility is to be suffered in no country—and whereas the tranquility and prosperity of our subjects may happen to be prejudiced, we admonish with paternal care in a serious manner our Gallician and other subjects who reside in our territories, to take no part, directly or indirectly, in the troubles of Poland, and to avoid all communication.
In this respect we also command all Polish subjects, who reside in our territories, to observe a similar quiet conduct, and declare hereby that, should they be found participating in the troubles, our officers of justice are charged to refuse them a further residence in our dominions; and they are also charged to take care, that our present declaration for the maintenance of public tranquility be every where obeyed.

POLAND.
Proclamation of Thaddeus Kosciuszko, commander in chief of the armies of the Nation, to the Citizens of Poland.
“Dear fellow-Citizens, Having been often called to assist in the salvation of our common country, behold I obey the call—but I cannot be useful to you, or break the chains of slavery, if you do not give me speedy succour!—Support me with your whole force, and fly to the standard of your country. In this common cause, the same zeal ought to animate us all.
“Make voluntary sacrifices of your wealth, which hitherto, instead of being at your own disposal, was at the will of a despot! Furnish men capable of bearing arms. Do not refuse the necessary provisions of bread, biscuit, &c. Send horses, boots, cloth and canvas for tents. The generous sacrifices made to liberty and your country, will receive their recompense in the gratitude of the nation.
“The last moment is arrived, in which despair, in the midst of shame and reproach, puts arms in your hands. Our hope is in the contempt of death,
which can alone enable us to ameliorate our fate, and that of our posterity. Far be from us that terror which the enemies, conspired against us, endeavor to infuse into our minds.
“The first step to throw off the yoke is to dare to believe ourselves free—and the first step to victory is a confidence in our strength.
“Citizens, the Palatinate of Ciacow affords you a signal example of patriotism. It offers the flower of its youth, having already granted pecuniary and other assistance—their example is worthy of imitation—do not hesitate to place credit in your country, which will reward you well—the ordinance issued by the Generals of the Palatinate, and the commanders of the troops, to furnish the necessary provisions, will be placed to the account of imports, and will be paid for in the sequel.
It is unnecessary to encourage you before hand, because that would appear to doubt your civism; the continued oppression practised by the Russian soldiers, ought sufficiently to convince you, that it is better, to make voluntary sacrifices to your country, than to make sacrifices by force of an enemy. Whoever in these circumstances dare be insensible to the urgent necessities of his country, must draw upon himself eternal infamy.
“Dear fellow citizens, I expect every thing from your zeal—your hearts will join that sacred union which is neither the work of foreign intrigue, nor of a desire of domination, but is solely the effect of a love for liberty.
“Who does not declare for us, is against us: He who refuses to associate with those who have sworn to shed their last drop of blood for their country, is either an enemy or one who is neutral, and in such a case neutrality is a crime against civism. I have sworn to the nation that the powers entrusted to me shall not be applied to the oppression of the people. At the same time, I declare, that whoever acts against our confederacy, shall suffer the punishment established in the National act, of a traitor and enemy to his country.
“We have already sinned by connivance, which has ruined Poland. Scarce has an offence against the people ever been punished. Let us now adopt a different mode of conduct; and let us re-commence virtue and civism by pursuing and punishing traitors.
(Signed) “Thaddeus Kosciuszko.” Head-quarters at Cracow, March 24.
Extract of the act of accusation of Arthur Dillon Chevalier, &c.
That Chaumette was an accomplice with the other conspirators, is proved from his conduct in the exercise of his office of attorney for the commune of Paris, from his affecting to brave and disavow the authority and the laws of the National Convention; from his erecting himself, by the most criminal and audacious usurpation, into a legitimate, by instigating, by his requisitions, ordinances hostile to liberty, the object of which was to annihilate the laws to which they were contrary. But his being an accomplice is still further proved by his exertion, with Clotts, Gobel, Hebert and their partisans, to efface all idea of the Deity, and found the French government on Atheism, thereby to subject the public mind, in order to give some plausibility to the infamous calumnies of the despots combined against the French nation.
It is proved to demonstration that the conduct of Chaumette and his accomplices was one of the most effectual means of executing that plan of conspiracy which has just been detected and defeated. The design of Chaumette and Gobel was, with Ronsin, Cloonwel, to destroy all kind of morality, to obliterate every principle of virtue, and to persuade neighboring nations that the French people were arrived at the last stage of dissoluteness and depravity; even to the exploding of the very idea of the supreme being, under whose auspices they had proclaimed the indefeasible Rights of man, and the Natural liberty of all kinds of divine worship.
It was in those orgies, in those banquets at a hundred eggs a head, which did not break up till late at night, that those liberticide measures were concerted which Chaumette, extended even to the department of Nievre, where a popular society, through his instigation, presumed to disavow the national authority, and to let it at defiance in refusing to obey the law on the liberty of worship. The gold of Pitt requited the base treason of Chaumette; accordingly he wrote to his father, in sending him 30,000 livres, to purchase neither the national domains nor the property of the Emigrants, because, said he, masters will not long continue in their present state.

Extract of a letter from an officer on board one of his Majesty's ships, off the mouth of Calais harbour, dated April 30th, 2 o'clock, P. M.
“Our squadron, consisting of the Serpent, King's Fisher, and Savage sloops of war, with the Dolphin cutter, you know, has, for some time past, blocked up a fleet of gun-boats and merchantmen in this harbour, which is bound down the channel to a place of rendezvous, supposed to be Brest.
“A squadron, in number of vessels and guns precisely equal to our own, this day came out of Calais, and required an action, with a view of driving us from our station. In this, however, they were completely foiled. A little after twelve the engagement began, and in one hour they were obliged in a very crippled state, to take shelter under the guns of their batteries on shore.
“Our ships have received but little damage, and have lost very few men. The loss of the enemy must, I think, be considerable, as our guns were very ably served, and told well.
“The French force consisted of three large cutters and a lugger, all very fine vessels.

Christiana Mills For Sale.
ON Monday the first day of September next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia, will be sold by public vendue, two tracts or pieces of land situated in White Clay Creek hundred, New Castle county and state of Delaware, one of which contains about sixty acres of highly improved lands, on it are a large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with stabling and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Patten's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half mile from the landing, is conveniently situated for carrying the articles manufactured at the mills by water to Philadelphia.—This property being close to the road leading from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at the head of the tide, with many other attendant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business so very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none.
The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills.
The terms upon which the above mentioned estates will be sold are—one thousand pounds to be paid on executing the deed, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionably for each part.
Indisputable titles will be made for the property, by

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. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage. waff

A New Novel. For the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marble 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 accompanies a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the lover, and treachery of his friend. The situations are artful 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 so severe a punishment. If it is fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

Richard Johns } In the Chancery Court of the John Wells and } State of Maryland, Mordecai Cole. } 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 Painters-Level, containing 100 acres, the other called Prospect containing 952 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 amounting 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 conveyance; that the said Wells hath never executed a deed, agreeably to his contract but hath removed out of the state of Maryland, and now resides in the state of Kentucky. It is thereupon, and at the request of the complainant, adjudged, and ordered, that he procure a copy of this order to be inserted 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 October next, to show cause wherefore this court should not proceed to decree, agreeably to the prayer of the complainant, and to the act of assembly, for such cases made and provided.

Just Published, In one handsome volume, 12mo. Price 5s AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chestnut Street, 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 augendum. Cresco.
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 influence 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 one 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. March 18.
The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited 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 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 t and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the t.
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 ent 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 Tw 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, much nearer together, 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.
