One Hundred Dollars Reward.
R UNAWAY from the Powder Magazine in Baltimore, of which he had the charge, a certain Thomas Roach , a native of Limerick, in Ireland; about 5 feet 8 inches in height, his person lean and tender, short black hair mixed with grey, dark complexion, with very black beard and eye-brows, & speaks much with a hogue, 43 years of age. The said Roach had under his charge, amongst other casks of powder, above 100 belonging to the United States, which he has taken off with him very lately, either in a boat or waggon. Whoever apprehends this villain, shall have the above reward—and if any person can give any account of the powder so stolen, he shall be generously satisfied by JOHN O'DONNELL, President of the Fire Insurance Company. As this robbery concerns the public at large it is hoped the PRINTERS throughout the United States will be good enough to give a place.

T HE Committee appointed to negotiate a sale of the Western Lands belonging to the state of Connecticut, lying west of Pennsylvania, think proper to notify the public of their names, and the nature and extent of their powers, by publishing the following acts of the General Assembly, viz. A General Assembly of the state of Connecticut, held at Hartford, in said state, on the second Thursday of May, A. D. 1795.
THIS Assembly do appoint John Treadwell, James Wadsworth, Marvin Wait, William Edmond, Thomas Grosvenor, Aaron Austin, Eliph Hubbard, and Sylvester Gilbert, Esquires, a Committee to negotiate a sale of the Western Lands belonging to this state, lying west of the west line of Pennsylvania, as claimed by said state, according to a Resolve for that purpose passed at the present session of the General Assembly.

That before the executing of such deed or deeds, the purchaser or purchasers shall give their personal note or bond payable to the treasurer of this state, for the purchase money, carrying an interest of six per centum per annum payable annually, to commence from the date thereof, or from such future period, not exceeding two years, from the date, as circumstances in the opinion of the Committee may require, and as may be agreed on between the said purchaser or purchasers; with good and sufficient sureties, inhabitants of this state, or with a sufficient deposit of Bank or other Stock of the United States, or of the particular states; which note or bond shall be taken payable at a period not more remote than five years from the date, or if by annual instalments, so that the last instalment be payable within ten years from the date, either in specie, or in Six per Cent. Three per Cent. or Deferred Stock of the United States at the discretion of the Committee.
That if the Committee shall find that it will be most beneficial to the state, or its citizens, to form several contracts for the sale of said lands, they shall not consummate any of the said contracts, apart by themselves, while the others are in a train of negotiation only; but all of the contracts which, taken together, shall comprise the whole quantity of the said land, shall be consummated together, and the purchasers shall hold their respective parts or proportions as tenants in common of the whole tract or territory, and not in severality.
That the said Committee, in whatever manner they shall find it best to sell the said lands, whether by an entire contract or by several contracts, shall in no case, be at liberty to sell the whole quantity, for a principal sum less than One Million of dollars, in specie, or if day of payment be given, for a sum of less value than one million of dollars, in specie, with interest at six per cent per annum from the date of such sale.

LONDON, April 30.
Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, dated April 23. "We understand that a circular letter has been sent by General Howe, to the principal inhabitants of the coast of England, requiring them to remove their women, children, and effects, ten miles into the interior of the country; and if any enemy should appear on the coast, to destroy such grain and other provisions as they were unable to carry away."
HAGUE, March 21.
On Friday night there was a dreadful fire in the place Le plein, in the house formerly inhabited by the ci-devant Grand Pensionary. The fire got such a head in a short time, that the edifice is converted into a heap of ruins, notwithstanding the aid of our newly armed citizens, and our French garrison. Their efforts, however, saved the adjacent buildings. The Jews have been put in requisition, as well as the other citizens here, to serve in the National Guard. M. Ephraim has been elected their commandant.
March 25.
From Rome, it appears that the ceremony of forty hours prayers to implore the divine benediction on the Imperial arms the ensuing campaign, commenced in one of the churches on the evening of the 5th ult. The Sacred College had also granted a plenary indulgence, Cardinal Vincenti, the Apostolic Nuncio at the court of Madrid, left that city on the 12th of February, in company with M. Carafa d'Andrie, on their return to Rome.
Among the interesting productions to which the increased study of the history of our country has lately given rise, is a picture of Charles demanding the Five Members, from the pencil of Copley.
The people of Berlin were prepared for the treaty with France by two publications, the one by M. Reichart, the master of the king's chapel, and the other by M. Crantz. The object of both was to prove, that the true interest of
Prussia, instead of waging war against France, is to make a common cause with her against England and Austria. Every body was astonished at the freedom with which publications maintaining such opinions were circulated, as few were in the secret of their being composed under the immediate direction of the court. This anecdote may serve as a note explanatory to some of the articles of the treaty between France and Prussia.
Yesterday the city force (la Bourgeoisie) appeared for the first time under arms.—They marched from Voorhout to Maliban, where they went through their manoeuvres before the Representatives of the People, and the deputies of the National Convention, and the French Generals.
They were presented with an elegant standard, which displayed the tutelary genius of Holland, surmounted by the Cap of Liberty, and underneath the words, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or death."
LONDON, May 1.
FASHION.
Mrs. Crewe received masks at her house, and here the women of fashion displayed their elegant figures in all the varieties of the most playful taste. We need not tell our polite readers that the present mode gives infinitely more latitude to nature than any former fashion within the memory of the beau monde. The shape is suffered to display itself without restraint; and the fine moulded arm invites the eye, tapering without concealment from above the elbow.—The dress is perfectly Grecian, and in the groupes which crowded the rooms at Mrs. Crewe's masquerade, it is impossible to paint the luxuriance of the rapturous disguises which insidiously exposed, and of the mischievous veils which artfully heightened the charms they affected to conceal! [ Morn. Chron. ]
Exhibitions of Pictures and Stained Glass.
By the war which has convulsed Europe, some of the finest pictures that were on the Continent have found their way into this country, and in their exhibition and sale gave the connoisseur an opportunity of seeing collections infinitely superior to any which were ever before exhibited in this country. Of the exhibition of stained glass, by Mr. and Mrs. Pearson, now on view at Greenwood's, it may be truly said it never was equalled in any country.—The stories are generally selected from the first masters, and the art brought to a degree of perfection never known in any preceding age. The Seven Cartoons were the employment of Mrs. Pearson for three years, and do her the highest honor; for they unquestionably form the most interesting series that was ever transferred from the canvass to the glass. Mr. Pearson's portrait of his majesty, from the full length in the Royal Academy, is absolute magic, and would form a most splendid ornament for Carlton House.
On seeing Mr. Hickel's Picture of the House of Commons, in which the sun beams are represented as illuminating the Treasury Bench, and leaving the opposition in the shade.
"In times like these, when impious men bear sway,"
"The post of honor is a private station" The Painter comments on the Poet's lay, And speaks a truth to rouse a dormant nation.
For lo!—the scourge that Heaven for man design'd,

While FOX, the friend of Britain and mankind,
Seeks Honor's last retreat amid the shade.
The new chariot, used by Lord Jersey, as Master of the Horse, to the Prince of Wales.
The body of this superb chariot is painted on a yellow ground, with gold stripes, yellow foliage, and a broad frize border, composed of the arms and crest of the Prince of Wales, with ornaments of felloons and oak leaves, heightened with gold, on a rich Antwerp blue; the royal arms, garter, and supporters in ermine mantles, on the doors and front back of the chariot. On the side pannels, the Order of the Garter, with his Royal Highness's peculiar crest and coronets in ermine mantles; the seat cloth and lining crimson velvet, with broad gold lace, deep fringes, felloons, and tassels, on which the royal arms are richly embroidered. The carriage, elegantly carved, is a crane neck, the fore ends of which are composed of laurel, and the hind of palm branches, encircling medallions bearing the Prince of Wales's crest, and terminating with a plume of feathers, enclosing the springs, with stars and the order of the Garter. On the front foot board in alto relievo is the representation of a wild boar hunt: the transom bears the head of Apollo, with emblems of that deity. The back
part consists of winged Horses, the ornamental parts of which, displaying a head of Mercury, support and enclose the springs, and on Hercules's club, in the centre, is the crest of the Prince of Wales, with medallions, plumes of feathers, and stars, two elegant cornucopias, form the wings, and the whole enriched with drapery of felloons and oak leaves. The cranes and wheels are ornamented with ribbands, foliage leaves, and other devices; the harness is likewise fancifully executed with various ornaments in silver, and it is a great addition to the splendour of the chariot.
It is in contemplation for the Clubs to give a magnificent ball to the ladies, on the occasion of the Prince's marriage. It was debated on Tuesday evening at the Opera, whether it should be a dress ball or a masquerade. Against the latter it was objected, that it was impossible to keep out women of a certain description—"And why wish to keep them out?" said the most Northern Duchesses, "if you do the fellows will not come; and, after all, the disease is not catching, or else you have been all inoculated."
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
April 24.
Andre Dumont. We must not believe that it is want that agitates the country, but it is refractory priests. (Applaudes) They say mass in all the churches. There are but two days since, in the name of a Commune of the department of Oise, there came some people to demand the liberty of a priest whom they assured was a good citizen. Those who solicited for him delivered him by force of arms. The committee of general safety sent me an account of this affair. Far from tolerating the illegal liberation of this priest, I had him reimprisoned with those who delivered him. (Applaudes.)
Those refractory priests do not make any account of the decree of the liberty of worship; they say mass in the churches, of which they open all the doors, and preach royalism. At Versailles they agitated the Commune. I took them all up in one night. (Applaudes.) Impunity hardens those who are culpable. How! do you think the factions will not also raise their heads when the assassin Raffer, is not yet punished? Refrain then all the bad; hinder those priests who have been condemned to transportation, from entering again into society, otherwise they will make of all France a new Vendee. Punish those who do not submit to your decree respecting the liberty of worship. In fine prevent the malcontentment which might second the agitations of those infamous quacks, in liquidating the right of the relations of the emigrants, and in preventing them from dying with hunger.
Rewbell. We must not pursue the priests as priests, but as seditious people, as apostles of royalism. (Applaudes.) As long as you have in France refractory priests, you will possess the greatest enemies of the republic.
The Committees are to meet this evening, and they will propose to you measures to restore tranquility. Those priests insinuate that the Convention has made its decree, with regard to the liberty of worship, because it loved royalism.
Many voices. It is true. Rewbell. Well, we will show them to morrow what kind of royalists we are. (Lively Applaudes.) The greatest injury that they can do us is in spreading suspicions; we will all be free, we will be all republicans. (Yes, yes, cry all the members of the Convention rising.) You have been informed of the rich farmers who caused in a great measure the famine; it is they who depreciate the assignats, and raise the price of all kinds of commodities. The committees of legislation and finances will soon propose to you measures against these egotists. (Applaudes.)
Boulin—Last year, at this season, subsistence was wanting. A new examination of the provisions in one district was made by the agent of another, and some were found. I demand that these reflections be laid upon the table to see if it would not be well to employ at present the same measures. There is but two months from this time to harvest. (Murmurs.) There has even been sent to the convention some ears of corn.
Legendre. I demand that the whole be referred to the committees of government who are to assemble this evening, so that they may make their report to-morrow. This proposition was decreed.
Delacroix. I demand that the three committees maintain the liberty of worship. Without doubt it is permitted to all men to worship the Supreme Being; but give me a defence against those who would make me adore it after their manner. Already pognards are raised against those who would not contribute to the mass. I demand for them the protection of the laws. Give me a defence; give one to my wife and my children, against the priests who would correct them.
Cadrovi. They have always been right in saying that royalism and fanaticism were but one. I ought to declare here the insufficiency of the rules for the liberty of worship. The disorder which might result from it has not been foreseen. It is necessary, therefore, to have a particular police. Already the constituted authorities are embarrassed. If the liberty of worship exists, say they, the assembling that it requires cannot be hindered. But in those assemblies they may do

the perfidious conspiracies of the agitators. The want of subsistence cannot furnish them any pretext, because we learn already by our correspondence, that the food is already provided for. The terrorists have disappeared from that quarter, and all the citizens are ready to make a ransom of their bodies for the convention. (Applaudes.)
Jean Bon St. Andre. Citizens you have been told, the famine was but the effect of malevolence which acted under every form.
Have they been able to think one moment, that they would have the address to make the people hate liberty, when they have suffered so many ills for her? Could they think that by presenting a piece of bread, as an incitement they could call a king? We have suffered much but we can still suffer much more. We die all Republicans, and our children in trampling the earth under their feet, walk only upon the dead bodies of Republicans. It is anarchy which causes that the authorities are without strength, that the laws are not executed, or that they are not interpreted as they ought to be. Fanaticism has been cited. Take a great deal of care against it. Citizens, fanaticism at this day endangers justice and the rights of the people. From the moment that you do not restrain it, it will take the ascendant, it will show itself proud and haughty; strong with your indulgence, it will come to master its protectors. I shall not recount to you all the evils that fanaticism has brought upon the earth. In all countries, over the face of the whole earth; its fury has been the same; arming friend against friend, children against their fathers, fathers against their children. This monster hides his head in the heavens and his feet in hell. You would have liberty of worship, but you would also maintain the Republic, say to fanaticism you may deceive yourself, that is permitted to you, but you have no right to trouble social order, to attack the Republic. Fanaticism is so much the more dangerous, as it acts under the shade of mystery in the darkness of the night. Citizens, the best means to be employed for subsistence and for finances, is to give energy and strength to the government. (Applaudes.) It is to enforce the execution of your laws. (New Applaudes) Every day you make new laws, you are overwhelmed with their enormous weight, you have so many that the Roman rights were not more voluminous, it is not then laws we want, it is the action of the government. Frequent applaudes. It is that action which the government must have if you would have the people enjoy Peace and happiness, if you would force the bad to fear the good. I conclude with demanding that the government be organized as soon as possible and that it be invested with power sufficient to do good and execute the laws. [Prolonged applaudes.]

By this Day's MAILS.
NEW-YORK, June 18.
Last evening arrived here in 42 days from London, the brig Friends, Capt. Bacon, of Norfolk—lay some time in the Downs, therefore no news.—June 5, spoke the ship Alexander, from this port to France. June 7, spoke the ship Peggy, from Philadelphia to Hamburg. Captain Bacon has brought 21 passengers. Off the Hook was boarded by the Argonaut frigate.
Bermuda, June 6.
Monday arrived here the sloop Nonpareil, Rankin, from the West-Indies. The accounts the brig are melancholy beyond expression. Martial Law is in force in every island except Barbadoes and St. Kitts, where they are in perfect quietness. The accounts, particularly from Grenada, are very distressing; almost all the crops, houses, works, &c. are destroyed—all business is at a stand, and every white man on duty, although they have received a reinforcement of troops. In St. Vincent's they are but little better, all the crops being entirely destroyed, with the works, houses, &c. but the Charibs, French, and rebellious Negroes are confined now chiefly to the mountains; yet it is the opinion of many that these two islands must be evacuated, without they have a strong reinforcement soon.
Extract of a letter from Boston, dated June 12.
"On numbering the votes of the people of Massachusetts, on the question of revising the constitution of that state, there was found a majority against the measure—a proof that the people experience the benefits of a strong executive and a Senate, restraining the violence of pure democracy."
"It is a fact worthy of the notice of all good democrats, that a leading member of their order belonging to Boston, named a ship of his the Robespierre, in honour of that noted democrat in France, during the flourish he made with the guillotine. This ship has just returned from Amsterdam and France, and it is a fact, that the name so exasperated the French, that the captain could not obtain any freight—and the ship was hardly safe in their ports. The same man has a vessel which was named Genet, just before the fall of that
great patriot. The best of the joke is, that by the laws of the United States the name of a vessel cannot be altered."

Translated for the Daily Advertiser:

P. S. Copying the above, the following five articles are handed to me; which (as it is said) belong to the treaty of peace between the French Republic and the king of Prussia.

BOSTON, June 13.
Capt. Doble arrived here yesterday from Bourdeaux, 33 days. The papers by him are not so late as by other arrivals.
ACCOUNTS from BAYONNE.
Dated in May, mention, that though reports of Peace were in circulation, the young men from Bourdeaux, southward, had been put in requisition—that large armies were intended to be put in motion against Spain, and the capture of Pampeluna was considered as an event likely speedily to take place. On the other hand, the Spaniards were increasing their armies with spirit.
In confirmation of the above, we have information from a respectable, well-informed gentleman, at Bayonne, who under the date of May 9, writes to his correspondent in this town, "We have been, for a month past, flattered with the prospect of a Peace with Spain; but it is now totally vanished."
FRENCH ASSIGNS.
It has been reported, that the National Convention of France had passed a decree, making assigns a tender in payment for contracts for cash, at par. This is not true. On the petition of a number of public bodies, praying that the Convention would give to their assigns their full value, and their full value, and in consequence of the rapid decrease of specie, the Convention decreed, That all contracts
made for specie, whether with Foreigners or French citizens, might be paid in assigns at their current court of exchange, at the time of payment. A measure prompted by justice, and not in any degree a breach of good faith.
The following are the principal articles of a report to the Convention respecting them:
Art. I. all debts due prior to the present law, may be discharged in assigns at their nominal value.
Art. II. All the sums due between individuals, prior to the present law, may be discharged in assigns, at their nominal value, unless there has been stipulations to the contrary.
Art. III. In future all citizens have power to stipulate in their contracts either for silver, or for assigns.
A letter from Bourdeaux, of a late date says, "You must not be surprised, if in a short time, the young Cobblers, in the Temple, should be called to the throne of his ancestors."
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
April 23.
Gregoire pronounced a discourse on the RIGHTS OF NATIONS, and proposed to the convention to make the following declaration:
1. Nations are, with respect to each other, in the state of nature; they have no other bond than the principle of universal morality.
2. Nations are respectively independent and sovereign, whatever may be the number of individuals which compose them, and the extent of the territories which they occupy. This sovereignty is unalienable.
3. It is the duty of one nation to act towards another, as they would with that nation to act towards them; what man owes to man, nation owes to nation.
4. It is the duty of nations in peace, to do each other the greatest good, and in war the least possible evil.
5. The particular interest of a nation is subordinate to the general interest of the great family of mankind.
6. Every nation has the right of organizing and changing the forms of its government.
7. No nation has the right of interfering in the government of other nations.
8. No government is conformable to the rights of nations, but that which is founded on equality and liberty.
9. Every thing which in its use, is inexhaustible or innocent, as the SEA, belongs to all, and cannot be the particular property of any nation.
10. Every nation is master of its own territory.
11. Immemorial possession establishes the right of prescription among nations.
12. A nation has the right of refusing admission into its territory; and of expelling foreigners when its safety requires it.
13. Foreigners are subject to the are subject to the laws of the country in which they reside, and punishable by them.
14. Banishment, for crime, is an indirect violation of foreign territory.
15. An attempt against the liberty of one nation, is an encroachment on all others.
16. Leagues, which have for their object an offensive war—treaties or alliances, which may affect the interest of any people—are crimes against all nations.
17. A nation may undertake war, to defend its sovereignty, its liberty, its property.
18. Nations which are at war, ought to leave a free course to proper negotiations for peace.
19. National agents are independent of the laws of the country to which they are sent, in every thing, which concerns the object of their mission.
20. There is no precedence among the public agents of nations.
21. Treaties, between nations, are sacred, and inviolable.

INDIAN DEPREDACTIONS.
On the 3d inst. the Indians killed James Finley and Barnabas McCormick on the farm of John Huling, 8 miles from Cussewago, on French creek—they were scalped and tomahawked in a most shocking manner. And on the 5th, they killed James Thompson (one of the persons employed by Capt. Powers now surveying in that country) shot his horses, and plundered the camp.
The Commissioners appointed by the Governor for laying out Towns at Presqu'ille, Le Boeuf, Conawango, and Fort Franklin, left this place on Wednesday last for that purpose.

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.
Speaking of the Authors of the pieces signed FRANKLIN, the Aurora makes the following candid acknowledgement:
"We cannot publish the paragraph concerning the supposed authors of Franklin. It has been our constant practice to refuse the insertion of any piece reflecting on the conduct of Foreign Ministers."
The Editor has told the truth—Any person whatever, much more a public minister, is grossly reflected on by being supposed the author of FRANKLIN.
Died last evening, SARAH LEWIS, widow of Jacob Lewis, deceased.
Married, yesterday morning at the Friends' meeting house, Thomas Morris, junior, of this city, Brewer, to Abigail Marshall, daughter of Charles Marshall.
Yesterday arrived the ship Three Brothers, Capt. Brown, in four months and fifteen days from Bengal. Capt. Brown informs that he put into the Cape of Good Hope, where he lay 14 days, and failed from thence 60 days ago—The place remained in possession of the Dutch, who were not informed of the change of affairs in Holland. Fourteen Dutch ships from India and China, which remained at the Cape, expected to sail for Europe in a few days after the Three Brothers, convoyed by a 20 gun ship and two brigs.
Capt. Brown spoke a brig from Bourdeaux bound to Tranquebar—she belonged to Baltimore. He left at Good Hope a brig belonging to Salem, Capt. Lambert.
In the brig Molly, from Jeremie, came 35 French passengers.
BY this public instrument of protest, be it known and made manifest unto all whom it doth or may concern, that on the seventeenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, before me, Peter Lohra, notary public for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, residing in the city of Philadelphia, duly commissioned and sworn, and by law authorized to administer oaths and affirmations, personally appeared Captain Robert Askins, late master of the American schooner called the Sally, of Bristol, in the state of Massachusetts, who, being duly sworn according to law, did solemnly depose and say, that on or about the fourteenth day of March, in this present year, he failed with the said schooner, being then tight and stanch, and in every respect completely fitted for sea, from the port of Savannah, in the state of Georgia, bound for the island of Barbadoes, in the West-Indies.
That nothing remarkable happened on board of the said vessel on her said voyage, until about four o'clock in the morning of the fifteenth day of April last past, when this appearer, being then about 12 leagues to the windward of Barbadoes, was boarded and captured by an armed boat belonging to the French frigate called the Patriote, commanded by Jacques Boutellier.
That this appearer, together with his crew, were soon after sent on board of the said frigate, where his papers were examined, and his vessel was adjudged to be burnt, because her register happened, through an omission not to be signed by the collector of the proper district.
That this appearer then requested, that he and his crew might have permission to take his boat and proceed in her to Barbadoes, which was refused; and after his vessel was burned down to the water's edge, he again renewed the same request, and met with an absolute refusal. That this appearer's crew were then put in irons, in which they were kept for the space of about six weeks, and afterwards they were all carried into St. Martin's, where he was put on board of a prison-ship, and his crew were confined in the common gaol, and after a detention of ten days, were, in consequence of the interception of several American masters of vessels then there, liberated, and the crew sent in a Swedish vessel to St. Bartholomews. That the treatment this appearer experienced and received from the officers and people of the said French frigate, was very severe and exceeding illiberal—the officers declaring that the Americans merited worse treatment than the British subjects.
That upon this appearer's remonstrating with them, upon their unjustifiable conduct towards him, his crew and vessel, and intimating, that he would lay his case before the government of the United States, they contemptuously replied, that it would be altogether useless and unnecessary, because the president, although once a good man, was now merely a cypher; and also repeatedly spoke, with the greatest contempt, respecting him and the said government.
That after this appearer's liberation from confinement at St. Martin's, he applied to Captain John Burrows, of Philadelphia, then at that place, for a passage home, which he generously promised him, upon condition that he would obtain from the French Commissary there, a barrel of bread. That this appearer accordingly applied to the said Commissary for only one barrel of bread, which he denied him, at the same time receiving for answer, that he might return home as well as he could.
That this appearer afterwards procured a pass, to enable him to go with the said Captain Burrows to Marigotto, and which he, upon his arrival there, produced to the Mayor for his signature, who on hearing his case, pitied his unfortunate situation, and as well as several French officers, then present, advised him to seek redress. That this appearer did, on the twenty-second day of May last, duly enter his protest at St. Martin's, and arrived here with the said Captain Burrows, on the fifteenth instant, and now desires to make an additional protest, in order that the same may serve and avail him, when and where it may be necessary and requisite, and therefore he hath hereunto subscribed his name in my presence.
ROBERT ASKINS.
Whereupon I, the said Notary, at the request and on behalf of the said appearer, and on behalf of all others interested and concerned in the said schooner Sally and her cargo, or otherwise, have and hereby do solemnly protest against the Commanders, Officers and Crew, of the said frigate; against every other person and persons whomsoever concerned in the capture and burning of the said schooner Sally and her cargo, consisting of lumber, and against all incidents and consequences thereof, to the end and intent, that all damages, losses, costs and charges, suffered and sustained by reason or means of the herein before recited premises, may be submitted unto, and borne by, those to whom of right and justice it shall appertain.
Thus done and protested at Philadelphia, the day and year aforesaid. In testimonium veritatis. PETER LOHRA, Notary Public.
NEW-YORK, June 18.
Yesterday arrived at this port, the snow Minerva, Capt. Boadice, of Portsmouth (N. H.) in 46 days from Amsterdam.—June 7th, spoke brig Rachel, Roberts, master, of and from New-York, 3 days out, all well.
Capt. B. has no important intelligence. He has been detained at Amsterdam all winter by restrictions and ice—He was at Amsterdam when the French took possession, ever since which time the Dutch and French have treated each other like brethren.—Every necessary of life was, however, very dear; and very little business being to be done, makes it distressing for the poorer people. There have been no French soldiers at Amsterdam for several months.
A letter, dated Amsterdam April 29th, by the Minerva, to a merchant in this city, mentions, that "there is a Cessation of arms in the Imperial army."
Also arrived late last evening, through the Sound, a large Spanish ship, prize to a French privateer of 6 guns, which was in company; she is said to be worth upwards of 200,000 dollars.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 113, Market Street,
1. CHARLOTTE. A Tale of Truth; by Mrs. Rowson, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia. Second American edition, price 25 cents. [The rapid sale of the first edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Review , 15, 1773, p. 462
It may not 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 from a conviction of her misdeeds; she is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony is not performed, she is poisoned, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the innocence of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situation are artless 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 a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
“The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Important ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every considerable action, whenever the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tories nor republicans—they love liberty as Englishmen, and execute every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.”
In the present moment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive. Extract from the Critical Review, January, 1794—page 12.

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 front on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not pronounced 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. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete Plan of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
