LETTERS on the subject of the Washington Lottery, being by mistake repeatedly addressed to the Commissioners for the City of Washington. Persons concerned are hereby informed, that all such should be addressed either to W. Deakins jun. of Washington, or to the Subscriber. The commissioners never having contemplated any further concern in this business, than in their assent to receive the bonds and approve the names of the managers. The prizes have been paid and are paying on demand by W. Deakins, Washington, Peter Gilman, Boston, and by the Subscriber. For the Lottery No. 2, the securities already given will be retained by the commissioners, or transferred by them at their option to the bank of Columbia; and the commissioners will be consulted respecting a judicious and equitable disposition of the houses to be built thereby; their treasury or the bank of Columbia will receive the money intended for the National University, and they will be consulted in the nomination of the 24 managers; but all the responsibility respecting the general disposition of the tickets, and payment of prizes, will rest as in the Hotel Lottery, on the persons whose names are and may be hereafter published as assistants to forward this business with S. BLODGET. N. B. Mr. Blodget will be particularly obliged if those persons who possess prizes yet unpaid, will apply for their money as early as possible. June 7th. d.

CONGRESS.
IN SENATE,
Saturday June 7th, 1794.
(Continued.)
The report of the committee, to whom was referred the bill, entitled, "An act providing for the payment of a certain sum of money due to the French Republic," was read as follows:
"It appears by a statement of the account between the United States and France, reported to the House of Representatives, that according to the view which is entertained at the Treasury of that account, the United States on the first day of January, 1794, were in advance to France the sum of two millions one hundred eleven thousand and eighty-six livres tournois and five deniers (being 383,162 dollars and 11 cents) beyond the instalments of principal and all interest which had accrued to that period:
"It further appears upon enquiry at the Treasury, that since that period there has been advanced on account of our debt to France the further sum of seventy-one thousand two hundred and forty-two dollars and eighty-one cents.
"And it appears likewise from the papers referred to the Committee—that the President has promised further payments upon the same account of 1,500,000 livres on the third of September next, and of 1,000,000 of livres on the 5th of November next, making together 453,750 dollars—which payments, it is understood may be anticipated at the Bank of the United States, in the proportions and at the epochs which are desired by the Minister of the French Republic.
"These sums embrace all the parts of principal which by contract would become payable to France during the year 1794 beyond which, were there no anticipations, nothing would be demandable during the present year but the interest on the balance of the entire debt, which balance on the 1st day of January, 1794 is computed at the Treasury at 2,611,587 dollars and 88 cents—whence it results that the payments which have been made, and engaged to be made exceed those which by the terms of contract could be demanded.
"This being the case, and the loan in question having been in its origin specifically appropriated to the purpose of the sinking fund:
"It is the opinion of the Committee, that it is not advisable to divert it from its destination, as is proposed by the bill referred to them, and consequently that the bill should not pass."
On motion,
It was agreed to adopt the report of the committee.
On motion,
That the bill last reported on, be considered in paragraphs.
It passed in the negative—Yeas 7—Nays 12.
The yeas and nays being required by one fifth of the Senators present,
Those who voted in the affirmative, are,
Messrs. Brown, Burr, Hawkins, Henry, Jackson, Martin, and Ross.
Those who voted in the negative, are,
Messrs. Bradford, Cabot, Ellsworth, Foster, Frelinghuysen, Gunn, King, Livermore, Morris, Potts, Rutherford, and Vining.
And so the bill was rejected.
Ordered, that the Secretary acquaint the House of Representatives that the Senate do not concur in this bill.

NATIONAL CONVENTION,
Monday April 21.
Billaud Varennes presented the following Report from the Committee of Public Safety.
"CITIZENS,
AT the opening of the Campaign, which must be terrible, because it is time to put an end to the contest between Royalty and Republicanism, the Committee of Public Safety have felt the necessity of fixing finally the basis of that system which ought to regulate our political conduct. If courage and despair be alone necessary to commence a revolution, perseverance and prudence are indispensably requisite to conduct that revolution, and genius and magnanimity of mind to put an end to it. It belongs then to you to foresee all the causes and to calculate all the effects.
"Too long have we marched at random. Whoever has neither settled system nor defined plan, may sometimes be successful, but he must often be exposed
to the operations of the passions, and be dragged by circumstances far from the destined goal.
"It is not thus that a cautious politician prepares for success; he endeavors to prevent disasters, and not to be dismayed by them when they arrive. He seizes the favorable opportunity; without supposing that such opportunities will frequently occur. Every thing which is doubtful ought to be deemed delusive or precarious, every thing that is unforeseen passes often away with the quickness of lightning.
"Do we wish to succeed—we ought then to begin by knowing our real situation—by lopping off those principles which are only specious, and thus combining and concentrating all circumstances, the Republic must proceed with a firm step. It must overcome all obstacles—conquer all difficulties, and in a word attain the desired end, by the force of the impetus with which it is invested.
Billaud Varennes entered now into a very eloquent comparison of the situation of Rome, at the expulsion of the Tarquins and of the situation of France at the present moment.
"Representatives of the French People," he continued, "the Republic has imposed on you, a duty, as vast in its extent as it is difficult in the performance. The establishment of a democracy in a country which has so long languished in fetters, may be compared to that tremendous and awful effort, which nature makes, when she passes from nothingness to existence. It is necessary, if I may be allowed the expression, to re-create that people whom we are leading to a life of liberty, because all ancient prejudices must be eradicated, all old customs abolished, all depraved habits extirpated—all superfluous wants retrained. A vigorous action, a vehement impulse, is necessary to develop the civic virtues, and to repress the passions of avarice and intrigue.
"Citizens, the inflexible austerity of Lycurgus, was the fundamental stone on which was erected the column of Spartan liberty—the feeble character of Solon replunged Athens into slavery.—This parallel contains all the science of legislation. The Consul Brutus, when he condemned to death his guilty sons, well knew that such a severity, striking the people at the same moment with admiration and terror, would appal conspiracy, and render her inert. This calculation, was so just, that after the death of Brutus's sons, the only resource of Tarquin was that species of combat, which he lost, and liberty established. Who will now dare to project the ruin of the country, when it is known that you have made justice the order of the day.
"We must prevent the assassination of the social body, by putting the assassins to death. The death of Cataline saved the lives of the Roman Senators, and of thousands of other persons. The destruction of the two factions, has prevented the destruction of the people and their representatives; has paved the way for victory—has forced the enemy's advanced posts—and has surrendered to us their head quarters without even giving them a battle."
Billaud Varennes concluded by proposing the following decree, which was unanimously adopted:
"That supported by the virtues of the people of France, the National Convention will establish Democracy, and punish all the enemies of that Democracy."
BRUSSELS, April 29.
On Sunday evening, Marshal Bender received the news of the important victory obtained by the Prince of Saxe Cobourg, on the 26th. The French attacked all his posts between Landrecy and Cambray, with 100,000 men, divided into four columns, and provided with 500 pieces of cannon, while the garrison of Maubeuge made a terrible sally at the same time. The battle was most bloody. Every inch of ground was furiously, yet firmly disputed. At length, towards evening, the French were obliged to retreat towards Cambray and Maubeuge with the loss of near 10,000 killed and wounded, 68 pieces of cannon, 162 ammunition waggons, 1900 prisoners, among whom are Chappuy, the commandant of Cambray, and several other officers.—Most of the officers were brought hither this morning.
This event was announced by the firing of 100 pieces of cannon, the ringing of bells, &c. but the particulars are not to be published till this evening. In the mean time we are informed that our loss amounts to 4000 killed and wounded. Of the latter, 120 waggon load are already brought hither.
On Sunday last also, an English Co-
lonel arrived with an account of the victory obtained on the 26th, by the Duke of York, whom the French attacked in all his posts, with 30,000 men. They were repulsed by the British Cavalry, with the loss of 8000 men killed and wounded, and 26 pieces of cannon. The British had 800 killed and wounded, among whom are General Mansel, and several other officers.
MADRID, March 26.
Our letters from Catalonia announce, that our army is about to commence the campaign. Two commissioners have been sent to France to see the Spanish prisoners taken care of; and two French commissioners had arrived at Barcelona for the same purpose.
LONDON, May 9.
Another day has passed without receiving any intelligence from the continent; which is the more to be lamented by us, as the public curiosity is naturally much excited to learn the progress of the Duke of York's march to the relief of General Clairfayt.
There are private letters in town, which we understand were brought over by Lord Malmesbury, stating, that a very considerable body of Austrian and Piedmontese troops have marched into Genoa, to take possession of that City.
In consequence of a note from Mr. Secretary Dundas; on Wednesday, sent to Lord Lauderdale, Mr. Sheridan, Major Maitland, Mr. William Smith, and Mr. Vaughan, members of the House of Commons, requesting they would attend a meeting of the cabinet ministers at the Secretary of State's office; the above gentlemen yesterday went thither, at 11 o'clock, and were each interrogated separately in consequence of some matters which had come out on Mr. Stone's examination. The three first of these gentlemen were not long detained; but the interrogation of Mr. Vaughan lasted until near 6 o'clock, Mr. Wilton of Bartlett's Buildings, brother to Capt. Wilton, of the artillery was also examined. The council sat from 11 o'clock till six. Mr. Bond, the magistrate, was present.
It would be improper for us to offer any surmise as to the nature of the examinations; but they have naturally given rise to much speculation. It was in consequence of the occupation of the ministers on this subject, that the Houses of Parliament adjourned without doing any public business.
ENGLISH HERETICS,
Respecting his Holiness the Pope.
By letters from Rome, dated March 7, 1794, we learn, that 240 British Cavalry had arrived in that city, and were to form a guard D'honneur to his Holiness the Pope, and that 250 more were expected in a few days to land at Civita, to protect that place. It appears somewhat strange, that his Holiness should have chosen English Heretics for his Body-Guard; but the fact is, that the Swiss Multitude at Rome are very dissatisfied, and offer him very little protection; and that the political disputes are carried on with the greatest violence.
The promotion of Abbe Maury has given great discontent, which the populace express by hissing his attendants as they walk the streets. The Cardinal seldom appears in public.
At the commencement of the Reign of the late King of France, a petition was presented by the Pope, Cardinals, and other Dignitaries of the Holy Catholic Church, to the Monarch, urging him in the most pressing manner, to keep a watchful eye upon the Protestants, from whom his Holiness and the Conclave expect now to derive their salvation.
Treaty between his Britannic Majesty, the king of Prussia, and the States general of the United Provinces. Signed at the Hague, April 19, 1794.
Their majesties the king of Great Britain and of Prussia, and their high mightinesses the states general of the United Provinces, being animated by the same desire of putting a stop to the progress of the system of anarchy and crimes by which civil society has been menaced, and being desirous of concerting together to support, in the most effectual manner, the common cause in which they are engaged, in consequence of the unjust and cruel war which the persons who exercise the powers of government in France have raised up against several of the great powers of Europe, have agreed, in conformity to the bonds of friendship and alliance which has so happily united them, to conclude the present treaty; and, for this purpose, they have named their respective Plenipotentiaries; to wit—His Britannic majesty the lord baron of Malmesbury, a peer
of the kingdom of Great Britain, privy counsellor, knight of the order of the Bath; his Prussian majesty, the fleur Cretien Henry Curee, count de Haugwitz, his minister of state, of war, and of the cabinet, knight of the order of the thred eagle; and their high mightinesses the states general of the United Provinces, the fleur Laurent Pierre Van de Spiegel, counsellor, pensionary of the Province of Holland and West-Erland and keeper of the seals, and deputy of the said province at the assembly of states general, and Henry Fagel, Gressier of their high mightinesses; who, after communicating to each their respective full powers, have agreed upon the following articles:
Art. 1. His majesty the king of Prussia engages to furnish an army, which shall be composed of sixty-two thousand four hundred men, conformably to the establishment which he has caused to be delivered to the ministers of the Maritime powers; which establishment shall be considered as making part of the present treaty. This army shall remain united under a Prussian commander, and shall act in the most effectual manner against the common enemy, either separately or jointly, with a body of troops, in the pay of the maritime powers, or of one of them. The said army shall be and shall remain as complete as possible, and be employed according to a concert on military points, between his Britannic majesty, his Prussian majesty, and their high mightinesses the states general of the United Provinces, wherever it shall be judged most suitable to the interests of the maritime powers: This army shall arrive at the place of its destination on the 24th of May, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, or sooner, if possible. It shall be provided with field pieces with their carriages, and also with the tents and all military equipments necessary for acting in the field.
Art. 2. It is agreed by the high contracting parties, that the troops which his Prussian majesty is bound to furnish to his Britannic majesty and to their high mightinesses, by virtue of the respective treaties of alliance between his Prussian majesty and the maritime powers shall be comprised in this army of sixty-two thousand four hundred men: and that, by employing the said army in the manner declared in this present treaty, his Prussian majesty shall be deemed to have furnished to his high allies the succours stipulated in the said treaties.
Art. 3. In order to facilitate to his Prussian majesty the means of acting, with vigor and conformably to the sentiments of zeal and concern with which he is animated for the common cause, his Britannic majesty and their high mightinesses agree to furnish to his Prussian majesty a subsidy of fifty thousand pounds sterling per month until the end of the present year; and to be reckoned from the beginning of the month in which the present treaty is signed.
Art. 4. His Britannic Majesty and their High Mightinesses will pay to his Prussian Majesty, immediately, the sum of three hundred thousand pounds sterling, to enable him to defray the charge of completing the above mentioned army, and the first expenses necessary for putting it in a state of action, and for carrying it to the place where it is to act; and, at the period of the return of the said troops; his Britannic Majesty and their high Mightinesses shall moreover pay to his Prussian Majesty, the sum of one hundred thousand pounds sterling, for the expenses of the return of the army into the territories of his Prussian Majesty. The said payments for the expenses of completing and putting the troops into motion, shall be made immediately after the exchange of the ratifications, as well as that of the subsidy, to be paid monthly, of fifty thousand pounds. The following months shall be discharged in advance, at the beginning of each month. All these payments shall be made at Berlin, by the maritime powers, agreeably to such arrangement as they shall agree upon between themselves; and the pounds sterling shall be reckoned at six crowns in Frederics d'Or.
Art. 5. The above mentioned subsidy and payments shall satisfy all demands which his Prussian Majesty might be entitled to make upon the maritime powers for the expenses of the army; all these expenses, of what nature soever they may be, being to be defrayed by his Prussian Majesty, with the exception of the expenses of bread and forage, which shall be furnished by the maritime powers, as well for the thirty-five thousand four hundred men whom his Prussian Majesty engages to employ over and above the stipulated succours, as for those themselves, in a manner conformable to the terms of the treaties of alliance subsisting between the maritime powers and his said Majesty.
But, in order to avoid the difficulties which might arise relative to the furnishing of these articles in kind, the high contracting parties agree that this expence shall be satisfied in money, reckoning at the rate of one pound twelve shillings (sterling money of England) per month, for each man of the 62,400 to be furnished by his Prussian Majesty, according to the establishment therein before mentioned, and the payment of this sum shall be made in advance, at the beginning of each month, in the same manner as that of the subsidy, and shall begin the same day. But, if it shall happen in future that any variation shall be made, by consent of the high contracting parties, in the respective proportion of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, settled by the said establishment; in such case a new valuation of the aforesaid pecuniary aid shall be made, according to the new proportion of ratios and portions which may result from the said variation, so that the said valuation may not be beyond the actual expenses occasioned by the furnishing of the articles in question, recording to the proportion of men and horses which shall be employed.
Art. 6. It is agreed, that all conquests made by this army shall be made in the names of the two Maritime Powers, and shall remain at their disposal during the course of the War, and at the Peace, to be made such use of as they shall then judge most proper.
Art. 7. The two Maritime Powers shall name two persons commissioned to reside in their names at the head-quarters of the Prussian army, to keep up the necessary communication and correspondence between the respective armies.
Art. 8. This treaty shall continue in its full force until the end of the present year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four.
Art. 9. The present treaty shall be ratified by all parties, and the exchange of the ratification shall be made in the space of one month, or sooner, if possible.
In Witness of which, We, the Plenipotentiaries of his Britannic Majesty, and of his Prussian Majesty, and of the Lords States General of the United Provinces, by virtue of our respective powers, have signed the present treaty, and have thereunto affixed the seal of our arms.
Done at the Hague, the 19th of April, in the year of Grace, one thousand seven hundred and ninety four.

SEPARATE ARTICLE.
The Plenipotentiaries of their High Mightinesses not having thought themselves empowered to contract, in the present moment, any engagements relative to the payment of the subsidies stipulated in the present treaty, beyond the term of the present year, this treaty has been concluded only for that time; but their Britannic and Prussian Majesties, being desirous of continuing the effect of the aforesaid engagements until the end of the war, will enter into further concert, as well between themselves as with their High Mightinesses, for the renewal of the present treaty for so long as the war shall last, on the same conditions as are therein declared with respect to the troops, in their employment, and to the payment of the aforesaid subsidies, as well as to the furnishing Bread and Forage, conformable to article 5. of the Treaty; without, however, adding any thing for the expenses of completing the troops, or for those of putting them in motion.
Done at the Hague, the 19th of April, in the year of Grace one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four.

"Yesterday, 28th June, we finished drawing the lottery granted by our legislature, for the academy in this town. Among the fortunate adventurers is Mrs. Marmaduke Cooper, of this county, who is possessed of a ticket which drew 200

dollars.—Mrs. Cooper has generously offered the ticket, with its prize, to the trustees of the institution, for the benefit of the Seminary. Such instances of benevolence ought to obtain other records than the tablet of memory."

ARMY in ITALY—2 Floreal, (April 21.)
The army of the Republic began its march from Menton on the 17th, at midnight, and after a march of fifteen hours, arrived at Pignon on the 18th; 14 hours afterwards took possession of Mount Fanaro, being drenched with rain, snow and whirlwinds, without a mouthful of bread, not a single mule being able to follow our forced marches. On the 19th we marched to Molino, and on the 20th to Montalto. This day we began to see some of the enemy. On the 21st I marched to Carpalio, a village occupied by 2000 men: I attacked the steep rock with the grenadiers and chasseurs, and we took it under a shower of bullets and rocks, which they rolled down, whereupon the village naturally became ours. I had but one officer killed, and six men wounded. From thence, climbing from rock to rock, after a most dreadful march of nine hours, we arrived at Mount Pizo, where the enemy was in force with artillery. I made my disposition in concert with the commander in chief, who had joined me by this time. At night, profiting by a fog, we mounted, scattered, and surrounding the mountain in three points, the signal to attack was not given until after the first fire of the enemy, who fearing the bayonet in their bellies, were so frightened, that they betook themselves to flight, leaving us one four pounder and some little baggage.
We took the advantage of their consternation to make ourselves masters of Piedmont with the valley of Oneiglia.
On the 22d we marched to Origo, and the troops having suffered much by the intolerable badness of the weather, to which they had been constantly exposed, it became necessary to let them rest, and wait the arrival of provisions. On the 26th the army marched again in three columns, the left whereof I commanded.
On the 27th, after a march of eleven hours, we got in sight of the enemy; they occupied a redoubt, and to the right a camp entrenched before, and covered in the back by an inaccessible rock. The situation was excellent, and capable of stopping at once all other troops but Frenchmen; but our dreadful charge made the Piedmontese fly directly, and only the Austrians made a pretty long resistance.
After that we took the bridge over the Neve, defended by a battalion of
Capfara, a battalion of Belgioioso, a battalion of Piedmont grenadiers, a legion and some other troops, making in all 5000 men. The river was between; they cut off the bridge, and two pieces of cannon defended it; but a cross fire, well directed and well supported, soon put them into a most complete disorder. Night coming on, prevented us from reaping all the advantages of our victory; two hours more day, and I should have taken the whole battalion of Austrian grenadiers prisoners.
On the 27th, we took Ormea, where the feeble garrison, most of them being fled, was made prisoners, with one colonel, three captains, and about 140 men.
In these two days 10 pieces of cannon, a quantity of clothes, blankets, flour, grain, muskets, and all kind of ammunition, together with 80,000 cartridges and four thousand weight of powder, fell into our hands.
The flight of the enemy was so precipitate, that the road from the bridge to the town, which is about the distance of a league, was strewn with muskets, accoutrements, cartridges, dead and wounded, bags, remains of tents, dead mules, and other articles.
Defection is very great among the Austrians; they are highly disgusted at the cowardly behavior of the Piedmontese.
NATIONAL CONVENTION. Sitting of the 6th Floreal, (5th May.)
Barrere in the name of the committee of public safety, made the following communication.
Victory is permanent in the whole south of the Republic. The tri-coloured standard is flying on the whole Alps and on the whole Pyrenees.
The representatives of the people with the army of Italy, have made themselves masters of Saorgio, of all the camps of the Austrians and Piedmontese, of 60 pieces of cannon, and a great number of mortars and howitzers. The enemy put fire to all they left behind; but our brave brethren in arms saved the magazines, killed almost 3000 slaves, and made a great many prisoners. The republic has to regret the loss of brig. Gen. Bruile, and adjutant Gen. Langlois, who was bayoneted in putting his hands on a Piedmontese redoubt. The names of those two Republicans shall be engraved on a column, which in the Pantheon, is to transmit to posterity the names of the heroes of the Republic: our wounded amounted to about 250 or 300.
The army of Italy will have no rest until they have annihilated the tyrant of Piedmont, who is said to have fled. The Representatives further add, that we are masters of Lartena, Saint Martin, Belvedere, and another port, and that defectors come in in great numbers.
The army of the western Pyrenees has given new instances, of what the love for their country could do. The perfidious Spaniard has dared to attack the Republicans near Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, but has been soon obliged to acknowledge the strength of the Republicans, to fly before them with very considerable loss. The legion of emigrants reinforced by the volunteers of Navarre, and other refugees, have been cut to pieces. Seventeen of them have been taken prisoners, who have been sent to Bayonne. The young men of the first requisition have particularly distinguished themselves, on this occasion they have shewed prodigies of valour.
On the same day, and at the same hour, the army of the Eastern Pyrenees had an engagement with the slaves of the same tyrant. They have taken from them at least two hundred pieces of cannon, all their ammunition, magazines full of all kinds of stores, one general officer, three colonels, seventy-five officers of different rank, all their tents, camp equipage &c. Our army is working towards Collioure and Port-Vendre; but, the most fortunate circumstance is, that so signalized a victory has not cost us ten men. The route of the Spaniards is completed they have forsaken all.
The Convention decreed 1. That the army of Italy has not left off deserving well of their country. 2d. That the army of the Eastern Pyrenees has deserved well of their country in the affair of the 10th of this month. 3d. That honorable mention be made of the conduct of the army of the Western Pyrenees; 4th. That the dispatches shall be printed and sent to the army of the North who undoubtedly will soon avenge the loss sustained at Landrecy.
GENOA, April 12.
"It may be easily estimated that the French have at least 30,000 men on our territory; and they constantly pass along artillery and ammunition by land
as well as by sea, in frequent convoys of small vessels."
"I should be defective in truth, if I did not say that the French army marched with the most edifying discipline and the most exemplary conduct. The French soldiers had they been 30,000 monks in their novitiate, they could not have behaved with more circumspection and civility. It was surprising, that hardly their voices were heard, so strictly did they observe the rigorous commands of their chiefs."
PARIS, the 17 Floreal May 6.
We think we ought to give our readers some further details of our successes in the maritime Flanders. We expect they will read with pleasure, and pride the following letter from headquarters at Dune Libre Date the 11. Floreal.
"After an engagement of 8 hours, the enemy, to the number of 60,000, marching in three columns, has been entirely routed by an equal force: We cut off his retreat and made 15000 prisoners, we have taken 32 pieces of cannon, and killed or wounded 4 thousand men; the Hanoverian General and 32 Officers are fallen into our hands, the enemy was pursued to Saint Leges, a league and an half from Tourmay; The enemy's plan, was to surround us at Courtray, and give succours to Menin which was in a respectable state of defence: But Menin surrendered at 6 o'clock in the morning of the 11th Floreal, we made 1100 prisoners, took 38 pieces of cannon, and put to the sword 500 Emigrants. This is one of the most important victories as the consequences, I trust, will shew."
FRONTIERS of AUSTRIA, April 11.
The Insurrection of Poland, which our Court had not calculated upon, has occasioned here the most lively apprehensions. Our armies on the Rhine were to be reinforced by the Austrian troops that are in Galicia, & they had already received orders to march for their destination; but this unexpected event in Poland has occasioned a total change in these dispositions, and these very troops have received orders to form a cordon from Cracow to Breda. It has been at the same time notified to the Gallician nobility, that they would expose themselves to the severest penalties if they were to take any part directly or indirectly in the insurrection which has taken place in that neighborhood. So the Gallicians are now placed between despotism threatening them with its vengeance if they will be free, and liberty in wishing them to shake off the shameful yoke which despotism has lately imposed on them. The part which they are going to take is not dubious; Austria is in want of hands already to maintain her power in the Netherlands; she will likewise want them to consolidate the same among the Poles. In vain does the Court publish that the whole Hungarians is ready to support their mad schemes against France. The truth is that, since the military conscription, which Joseph 2. had established in their kingdom, has been abolished, only 600 men have presented themselves voluntarily to enlist in the new corps intended to fight on the Rhine.

NEWYORK, July 2. Capture of Port-au-Prince.
The British troops arrived before the city of Port-au-Prince the 2d of June, anchored in the road, and landed about 6000 troops in two different places. The commander, Major Gen. Whyte, immediately, by an officer, summoned the French Governor to surrender.
Mons. Sonthonax declared he would defend the city to the last extremity, on which an attack was commenced, by the road of Leogane and La Croix des Bouquets. The place was soon carried, and the principal fort St. Claire resisted only nine hours.
The garrisons, both of the city and fort, were put to the sword. Sonthonax has killed himself with a pistol—his colleagues, Polverel, Monbrun, and Beauvais, chiefs of the mulattoes, have been made prisoners. Port-au-Prince, Leogane, La Croix de Bouquets, L'Arcahaye, are now in the power of the British, and have been burned.
A detachment from the British troops has been sent to Jackmel, and a Corvette dispatched to Fort Dauphine—where we are informed that a general illumination had taken place, and Te Deum was sung on receiving this intelligence.
NEW-LONDON, June 26.
Tuesday arrived, brig Eliza, E. Caulkins, master, in 32 days from Jamaica. On the 22d May, the Judge of Admiralty held a special court, and all American vessels which had been sent in as prizes were liberated—excepting those suspected of having French property on board, which are, ship Eleven Sons, M c Intire, Massachusetts: brig John, Mahoon, Baltimore; schooner Rice, Wilmington, N. Carolina; schooner Peggy, Obrian, Baltimore; brig Sally, Cochran, Philadelphia; ship Hannah, Charleston, from Aux-Cayes—Capt. Caulkins was permitted to sail with his vessel and property, paying all costs and expenses, after a detention of four months.
In lat. 27, 30 N. long. 80 W. parted company with 97 sail of Merchantmen, bound to Europe, under convoy of the Powerful, of 74 guns, Hound, sloop of war and a 16 gun brig.
The ship Sampson, formerly commanded by Capt. J. Barney, of Baltimore, condemned in Jamaica, is totally lost, vessel and cargo, on the Palifades. She sailed from Kingston with a cargo valued at 30,000l. bound to England.
Left at Jamaica to sail in a few days; ship Flora, W. Briggs, New-York; schooner Union, Bolles, of this port; ship Apollo, Folger, of Baltimore, was condemned on the 22d May, vessel and cargo.
NORFOLK, June 25.
On Sunday last arrived here the brig Peggy, Capt. Crowley, from London, after a passage of 55 days. On the 5th of May, in lat. 48, 37, long. 8, 52; at midnight, fell in with three French frigates and a sloop of war, who took one of his hands (a Frenchman) and dismissed us. On the 8th of May saw 8 sail of French ships of war, viz. four 84's, two 74's, a frigate, and a sloop of war. The frigate took out another of his hands, a Frenchman. At six o'clock A. M. the sloop of war took him in tow, and carried him along side the Commodore, who gave him two English prisoners in lieu of the two men taken from him.
Brussels April 29. We are informed by fugitives from Flanders, that the French, with 25,000 men under the command of General Ducolenceau, a native of Brussels, have penetrated in that quarter to Menin and Courtray. From Courtray they carried off 600 waggon load of goods brought thither for the fair—15,000 men are detached from the main army, to enable General Clairfait to clear the country of these vile Republicans.
Government has taken no notice of this new invasion; but it is certainly confirmed; and many families came here yesterday from Tourmay, fearing an attack on that place also, although it is defended by 10,000 men.
Near 200 waggon load of wounded, both French and Austrians, are come in since morning. We know not how to dispose of the miserable victims, for the Hospitals and Convents are already full.

City of Washington, 27th June 1794.
MR. FENNO,
A PUBLICATION of a Lottery under the description No. 2, having appeared in Messrs. Angel and Sullivan's Baltimore Paper, we thought proper to publish in the same paper our disavowal of it; an advertisement has since been published in your paper, under date of the 7th inst, asserting that "for the Lottery No. 2, the securities already given will be retained by the Commissioners or transferred by them at their option to the Bank of Columbia," &c. &c. and since that a scheme of Lottery No. 3, has also been distributed with your papers in a supplement.
These publications may lead some to believe that Lottery No. 2, is carried on under the countenance of the commissioners; that security is lodged with them, and that they will see that the terms are complied with.
No security is lodged with us on account of any new Lottery, nor have we any thing to do with any such, you will therefore oblige us by publishing this; and our former disavowal enclosed.
TH. JOHNSON, DAV. STUART, DAN. CARROLL } Commissioners.
City of Washington, May 17, 1794.
THE Commissioners were no farther concerned in the Hotel Lottery than giving a naked permission for it—second has lately been advertised in Angel and Sullivan's Baltimore paper, under the description No. 2. Whether it comports with the laws of this state does not particularly concern us, but as, from the manner of the publication the public may possibly infer that the Lottery is raised with the approbation of the Commissioners, and that they will attend to the conduct of it, we think proper to declare that we have given no countenance to the publishing or carrying on this Lottery; nor will have any thing to do with the conduct of it.
Th. Johnson, Dav. Stuart, Dan. Carroll } Commissioners. July 3
To the Public.
TWO of the Commissioners for the city of Washington, having signified to me their desire to be freed from any care or concern in the Lottery No. 2, for the improvement of the city, in consequence of their intentions to resign, I have requested that they will transfer the securities given, to insure a due performance of my trust to the Bank of Columbia; and the President of said Bank having consented to accept the Bonds and Security on behalf of the Public, the same will be completed forthwith, or whenever it may be convenient to the Commissioners, in conformity to my former Advertisement.
SAMUEL BLODGET.
N. B. The collateral security held by the Commissioners exists in more than 1000 Lots in the City of Washington, valued at—say one hundred pounds each, and forty thousand Dollars of other property.
For the authority of the above Lotteries, I must refer the concerned to original letters in my possession, written before the Commissioners were at variance with the Proprietors of the City of Washington. July 3.
To the Electors of the city and county of Philadelphia. GENTLEMEN,
THIS being the last year of the present Sheriff's time in office, I take the liberty to offer myself a Candidate, and solicit your votes and interests in my favour, to place me on the return at the next general Election, as his successor for said office; in doing which you will confer an obligation that will be gratefully remembered, by
Your most obedient, and humble servant, JOHN BAKER. estb. May 3.

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 much 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 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 familiar 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. waiff

A New Novel. To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, fewed 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 accompanied a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend. The situations are 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 a 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 Panter's Level, containing 100 acres, the other called Prospect containing 153 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 filed 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, or else to 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 be at all events, for such costs made and provided.

AN ESSAY ON THE  Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D.
Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. Cicero.
The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence 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.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeit Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have been in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitations of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O. to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the devi e 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 I. 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. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committee of the Respective Boards.
