Tuition of the French Tongue, IN AN IMPROVED MANNER.
P. L. PORTIER,
AFTER examining the French pronunciation, with regard to the letters made use of to express it, and the difficulties which necessarily occur in its being soon acquired by foreigners who apply themselves to the study of the French tongue; difficulties arising—1st. From the different ways in which the same sound is represented—2d. From the usual way of expressing different sounds—3d. And from the want of means fit to convey to the mind those sounds with simplicity and clearness.
Convinced that to remove these difficulties, or at least to lessen them, is an attempt worthy the attention of those who are desirous to learn the French language.
P. L. PORTIER, most respectfully offers his services to the enlightened public of this city, in order to teach the French tongue, especially the reading of it, by a method yet unpractised anywhere.
This method, simple in itself, is to convey to the mind, by means of particular characters, every kind of sounds, and words, without any regard to the letters used to compose them.
Each character will express one syllable, representing to the mind the only French sound proper for it; these characters are so easy to form, and so recollect, that the meanest conception may thoroughly understand them in less than a month.
As soon as the scholar is acquainted with these characters, he cannot be at a loss in the reading of any French words, because he will find in the table of characters, and observations thereon, the right way of pronouncing every proper word.
Another advantage deriving from this method, is to enable the learner to adapt these characters to his own tongue; which he may find very convenient, either to write private notes, or even correspond with any one having a knowledge of them.
The intention of the author is to keep an Evening School from 7 to 9, and to attend at the houses of those Ladies and Gentlemen who may be pleased to honour him with their commands. He will teach every day, Sundays excepted, one hour by lesson, during which, he will do his utmost to deserve their favours.
He may presume to assure his patrons, that the greatest punctuality shall be observed in his hours of attendance, and that neither care nor pains shall be wanting for their improvement in reading, writing and speaking the French language. Apply to No. 181, fourth Front Street, between Spruce and Pine-Street. November 17. eod1w.

Notice is hereby given that an attachment was issued out of the inferior court of Common Pleas in and for the county of Cumberland, in the state of New Jersey...
Notice is hereby given that an attachment was issued out of the inferior court of Common Pleas in and for the county of Cumberland, in the state of New Jersey, returnable on the twenty-fifth day of February last, against the goods and chattels, rights and credits, lands and tenements of George Hutz (not being a resident at that time within the state of New Jersey) at the suit of Jonathan Ballinger, indorsee of Job Butcher, which was levied by the sheriff of the county of Cumberland "on a certain floor or stall called the Fly of Philadelphia" with its appurtenances, as by the return of the said sheriff will more particularly appear—and notice is also hereby further given, agreeably to the direction of an act of the Legislature of the state of New Jersey in such case made and provided, that unless the said George Hutz shall appear and give special bail to answer the suit to be afore-said instituted against him by the said Jonathan Ballinger, within such time as is prescribed by law, that then and in that case judgment shall be entered against the said George Hutz by default, and that the said floor or stall so as aforesaid seized on the said attachment, will be sold for the satisfaction of all creditors who shall appear to be justly entitled to any demand thereon, and shall apply for same purpose.

STRICTURES on a publication, entitled "Features of Mr. Jay's Treaty, from a S. C. paper."
THIS publication, which might more properly be entitled disinformation of Mr. Jay's treaty, has been uttered to public notice in this state by a citizen of South-Carolina, who recommends it as a counter part to Camillus, as being doubtless written by one who is or has been a member of our federal councils, though he confesses he does not coincide with the author in many of his affections, nor can he say much in favour of his candor, and though he has no hesitation in saying that the balance of argument and judicious reasoning is vastly in favour of Camillus. Thinking, to, he would have done well to have pointed out the parts wherein he differs from this writer, or wherein he shews a want of candor, or have transmitted Camillus for publication at the same time as an antidote to the poison attempted to be circulated. For my part, I have no hesitation in saying, that the writer is not, nor ever has been a member of the federal councils, unless the holding a subordinate station in a particular department be considered in that light. It is not indeed to be credited, that any individual who has ever been, or who now is, a member of our federal councils, should betray so much ignorance or malignity against the federal government, as this writer has done. Of his ignorance, or his determination to deceive, we have, amongst others, two striking proofs at the very threshold of his elaborate and lengthy attack. It had been asserted by the friends of Mr. Jay, that American cotton was not intended to be included in the prohibition in the 12th article: this writer expresses his surprise that there should be any ambiguity in an instrument which was under Mr. Jay's consideration for the term of eighteen months. Now, Mr. Jay did not arrive in London till June or July, and the treaty was signed the 19th of November, not 18 weeks. He tells us that Mr. Dayton moves, and the house of representatives support his motion, for the sequestration of British debts: this is the very reverse of truth; the motion was, after opposition, withdrawn or abandoned, and no vote was ever taken on it: the inference is, that the house disapproved of it; otherwise its advocates would not have abandoned it. So much to shew the want of information or regard for truth. As to the merits of the work, a minute examination of it would be tedious at this time, when the details of the treaty have been already so well and so fully discussed; it will suffice to expose the gross errors of some of the most leading distortions, and to evince the fallacy of the main argument, on which the whole of this piece of sophistry hinges. Among other extravagant assertions, he tells us that, "by this treaty, George the third enjoys a more complete negative to bind us as states, than he ever claimed over us as colonies." To such lengths will the disordered imaginations of enthusiasts lead them. But tho' treatyphobist may quiet his apprehensions, even tho' the President has ratified it, a war would soon release us from such a treaty. And whence this power in George the third? Because the United States think proper to restrain themselves in a treaty with Great-Britain from certain commercial acts for a limited time, for a reciprocal restraint on the other side—this is giving a negative to George the third! Has he forgot then the former negative of Louis XVI, under the French treaty, the present negative of the Convention, that of the kings of Prussia and Sweden, and of the states of Holland, all of whom have as much a negative as the king of England? Alas, poor America, where is your independence? The treaty he calls a violation of neutrality, and in the same breath complains that a new treaty has not been made with France during this war; and would that have been less a violation of neutrality? Has not this very writer been one of those who wished to give considerable advantages to France during her war with England, even without treaty? It is enough to read one paragraph of his production to answer confidently in the affirmative. He complains that the President evaded a treaty with France when proposed by Citizen Genet: for the best reasons; because a fine qua non was our becoming a party in the war. By the treaty, he says, Great-Britain gains supplies for her West-India islands: he does not shew how: the treaty furnishes none which she might not have had before. Our situation would be degrading indeed, if we were prohibited from adjusting our differences with Great-Britain and arranging the terms of commercial intercourse, by the attempts of a few individuals, who are artfully striving to embroil us with a nation whose rights are sagaciously respected. The French minister has made no complaint that we know of, and the citizens of America will not be under any obligations to those who are labouring incessantly to involve us in war with one or other of the belligerent powers. He finds fault with the clause respecting pirates, and immediately tells us, that it is true there is a similar clause in our other treaties. He reproaches the clause, giving in our ports an asylum to British ships, in certain cases, and then adds, that it is nearly copied from our subsisting treaty with France. It is diverting to see this writer's anxiety about the ships of Holland, our ally: has he forgot that a few months ago he rejoiced to see her vessels brought in and sold in our ports, as prizes to France? On the subject of the article, respecting free ships making free goods , he complains that the United States give up that point, and distinguishes observes, that while France permits British goods to be protected by American bottoms, the United States enter voluntarily into a compact with the enemies of France, for permitting them to take French goods out of our vessels. This is a shameful misstatement altogether: by the law of nations, the British have that right: our government, long before this treaty, admitted it. France stipulated a deviation from the law of nations between her and the United States: under that stipulation (which by the bye, she has violated repeatedly) she is bound to respect British property in American bottoms; but then she takes American property in British vessels, which she could not do, under the law of nations; for neutral property by that would be safe in an enemy's vessel; she therefore, as Mr. Jefferson observes, gains by the arrangement. But this writer, in his zeal for France, overlooks the interests of America, as if in our treaties France alone was to be considered.
He says, we may, by the treaty, supply Great Britain with articles which we cannot supply France, alluding to the claims respecting contraband. But the United States would never think of supplying Great Britain with articles which they had declared contraband; were there any apprehension of it a law would be passed by congress to prevent it, which might be done consistently with the treaty; or an additional article might be stipulated between the United States and France, extending the list of contrabands as far as in the English treaty. This writer asks, "how will the projected treaty work, if France should subdue the West India Islands, should obtain the cession of Louisiana, and should conquer Nova-Scotia? By this curious question he implies (if he means any thing by it) that in making treaties we are not to consider the existing state of things, but must extend our imagination to all the fanciful contingencies which have possessed his mind. He asks, "suppose the pills surrendered, may not Great Britain establish other posts in a contiguous or more advantageous station? I answer, she might do so without this treaty: but from the geography of the country, the event is highly improbable.
He proceeds to remark, that "the wisdom and energy of the government should be sedulously employed in keeping us from the squabbles of European nations, from hasty and unequal alliances, to let commerce flow in its natural channels, and to resist on the first appearance every violation of our national independence." Excellent doctrines, but totally disregarded by himself; otherwise, how could he vindicate citizen Genet's attack on our national independence? how could he recommend a treaty with France, on the condition of our becoming a party in the war and in the European squabbles? how could he approve Madison's commercial regulations, which were designed to drive commerce out of its natural channels, and to obstruct its course? or Clark's motion, which went to the stoppage of commerce altogether? He tells us, "that America ought rather to fortify herself by an alliance with a nation whose territorial jurisdiction and physical characteristics preclude the possibility of collision, than attach herself to a nation, whose language, manners and habits facilitate the execution of every attempt to encroach, and whose territorial possessions are in an irritating and dangerous contact with our own. The plain English of this fine phraseology (not easily understood at a first reading) is that a nation ought to cultivate a friendship with a distant power, whose language, manners and habits are dissimilar from her own, and be perpetually jarring with her neighbours. The common opinion on this subject is, that neighbours ought to be good friends, and that a similarity of language, manners and habits, has a tendency to unite nations in the bonds of friendship. He objects to a treaty with Great Britain, because her dominions are contiguous to ours: without a treaty of amity, what endless contentions would there be about boundaries, jurisdiction, mutual trade and intercourse, fugitives, &c. The very circumstances he states as objections to a treaty, are the strongest inducements to have one: the circumstances he enumerates as leading to hostilities between the two countries, would operate with ten fold more effect, were things to be left in their present embarrassed and unsettled state, than after they are amicably adjusted by treaty. (To be continued.)
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
M. FENNO,
The Gazette of the United States of November 9th 1795, was last night, put into my hands. An Anglo-American (there) presents his respects to the Welsh Clergyman who preached a few evenings since and would advise him in future not to blend politics with religion. The Welsh preacher is very glad to find Mr. Anglo ***** so far Americanized as to see the futility of blending politics with religion, if by that he means, an alliance between church and state. As for the old Popish cant, against preaching politics, it is too stale and despicable to be noticed. There never was, nor will be, a good sermon without politics in it. The whole gospel is a most excellent system of politics. It proclaims, "Peace on earth and good will towards men." This is the highest grade of sedition—and will even amount to treason in some countries!
Your correspondent is at a loss to know, how the text which the preacher took could lead to a comparison of earthly governments, and what connection it had with cursing despots. The whole audience, will pronounce this sentence, fraught with falsehood. It so happened that the preacher did not utter a word concerning particular forms of government—much less that of cursing any man, or set of men. "He has not so learned Christ." He leaves the work of cursing despots, and that too with everlasting destruction from his presence, to God the Judge of All.
The preacher however, remembers to have heard of a clergyman, whose ears were so tickled with the mulct of a pack of hounds (when reading the curses in Deuteronomy), that he told his hearers—"I have no time to curse you one by one. D—n you all"—Then ran out to join the chase! Perhaps Mr. Anglo, knew something of this man, and dreamed that the Welsh preacher uttered similar denunciations on despots—knowing them to be a cursed set.
In regard to comparisons the preacher said "That all mankind received their ideas by comparison, that the best way to judge, in what respects, heaven was a better country than any in this world, was to enquire what constituted a good country?" He supposed, "A healthy climate, rich soil, good neighbors, good situation for commerce and a good government." Under the last, when applying to the Welsh emigrants, for whom the sermon was intended, he said, that they had emigrated to this country because they thought the American, better than the British government. Inasmuch as the citizens were here equally privileged in respect to
their religious as well as civil rights. They had to start together in the race of life, whilst in Britain a Diffident cannot run at all, unless he carries on his back the tenth of his labour and produce, to support men, who blend politics with religion. The preacher likewise contrasted the two countries, in regard to the facility, whereby poor people could procure subsistence. Here Mr. Anglo ***** enquires with some degree of allusion, "How the preacher could make it out in travelling (near) 5,000 miles in America, he did not see more than five beggars?" There is but one way to answer this query—He did not see more, nor so many! Mr. A., if he pleases, must make out "How he did not?" But he abhorred O Americans, Mr. Anglo ***** has found out a new discovery! He certainly ought to have a double patent for it in every State. "Religion is one thing! Politics another!" A most surprising revelation, which even Thomas Paine, cannot refrain from believing.
"The pulpit, saith Mr. A., is the place to warn men of their sins, and amend their lives." He might add the command of Christ "Into whatever house ye enter, &c." But "The Senate house or the Coffee house is the place to talk politics."—Even the Ladies then must be tongue-tied at the table! Attempt it, if you dare, Mr. Anglo! But it seems, "The European as well as the American clergymen were always thought to be out of their line, when attending to any thing other than the cure of the souls of their parishioners or auditors." Good God! where do we stand? is it at Rome? "Cure of souls!" Who sir, but God, can cure souls? "Paul may plant, Apollos water, but God giveth the increase." But here follows a most wonderful secret! "Make men good and they will be ready friends to liberty and supporters of good government."—Who ever doubted this hypothesis? But here lies the rub—The difficulty of making men good, particularly tyrants.—Mr. Anglo, would do well in future, to take his own way, and leave the Welsh preacher to take his, in endeavouring to make men good. And they may be still, BROOKS.

LONDON, September 18.
St. Paul's Church Covent Garden, had flood from the days of Charles the First.
The following account of this Church is given by Chamberlain, in his History of London:
"This Church, which was built by that great Architect, Inigo Jones, was erected in the year 1640, as a Chapel of ease to St. Martin's in the Fields, at the expence of Francis Earl of Bedford, for the convenience of his tenants. It is remarkable for its majestic simplicity; and the gates on each side are very elegant, and suitable to the structure.
"In the front is a plain, but noble Portico, of the Tuscan order, executed in the most masterly manner; the columns are massy, and the intercolumniation large, which has an air of noble simplicity. The building, though as plain as possible, is happily proportioned; the walls are of brick, covered with plaster, and the corners of stone, the roof is flat, and though of great extent, is supported by walls alone, without columns or cross beams. The pavement is stone; the windows are of the Tuscan form, like the Portico; and the Altar-piece is adorned with eight fluted columns of the Corinthian order, painted in imitation of Porphyry."
It is very singular that on the very day on which this accident happened, an account should be received of a similar conflagration at Potsdam, produced by the same cause.
POTSDAM, September 4.
A terrible fire has just reduced to ashes the church of St. Nicholas, situated in Palace square, together with the surrounding houses, towards which the wind directed the flames.—The fire broke out yesterday at four o'clock in the afternoon in the tower, the repair of which was completing, through the negligence of a workman who was melting lead.—The flames fed by a high wind, consumed in the space of an hour, this very lofty tower, the fall of which communicated the fire to the adjacent houses. The atmosphere being inflamed by the immense mass of fire, it became very difficult and arduous to make any effort to extinguish the flame. His Majesty directed the operations in person. At eleven at night the fire was still burning, and there remained nothing of the beautiful church except the masonry and facade.
PITTSBURGH, November 14.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Presqu' Isle to his friend in this town, dated October 30.
"The secretary of Governor Simcoe, Mr. Tickell, has been here on business with capt. Pilsel. He left this place on the morning of 10th inst. and on the 13th was overtaken by a violent storm on the lake, he tried a long time to ride off the land, but in vain, the boat was driven into an extensive marshy swamp, three miles on this side Buffalo Creek. Mr. Tickell, with one man, left the boat, intending to make Buffalo creek by land, but the great fatigue he underwent in getting out of the swamp and before they got to a rising ground where they intended to refresh themselves, had overcame him so much, that he expired in less than two hours. His body was the next day taken to Navy Hall. This intelligence you may depend on, as I have it from Niagara by the last boats."
We are informed, that owing to the sickness among the troops and artificers at Presqu' Isle the fortifications are not in such forwardness as might reasonably have been expected. Two block houses, picketed are in a fair way of being completed.
ANNAPOLIS, (M.) November 12.
On Monday last the hon. John Hopkins Stone was re-elected governor of this state—And the day following, the hon. James Brice, Henry Ridgely, John Davidson, William Kilby, and James Thomas, were chosen a Council to the governor.

Philadelphia, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1795.
Mr. Smith, (S. C.) and Mr. Madison, members of the House of Representatives—and Mr. Langdon and Mr. Martin, Senators of the United States, are arrived in town.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Schenectady, to his friend in this town, dated November 11, 1795.
"I learn from a gentleman who left Presqu'isle about three weeks ago, that the fortifications go on rapidly—that 100 men are to garrison that place this winter, the remainder will return—that the people at Niagara (tho' which he came, and where he was confined with the lake fever nearly 3 months) are much pleased with the treaty, but the Governor is very much dissatisfied with it—that the British soldiers desert in great numbers every opportunity, because as those posts will be delivered up next summer, (agreeable to treaty) they fear they will be sent to Europe, and say they are ill used: he informs, that seven or eight of them came to Presqu'isle in a boat with 4 pieces of ordnance, which they there sold. Capt. Hendricks of the Six Nations, has brought an Indian to be tried by the laws of this state: he is charged with the murder of his uncle, who was a chief of the Tuscaroras. Their delivering up this Indian is an evident proof of the friendship of the Six Nations, especially when it is considered, that he murdered him, and threatened others, in consequence of their known attachment to the United States."
Extract of a letter from the Captain of the ship Somerset, to his owner, dated Bermuda, November 3.
"Your ship Somerset was sold by the Marshal of the Admiralty, for 1300l. this currency. I am coming with capt. Williams in the ship Two Friends to Philadelphia, in a day or two. I shall have my papers, I believe, in good order; I imagine the people on the Continent have no just idea of the masked war Britain is making upon them through these Islands, with much abuse and insult, with their ships of war and privateers."
The Governor of New-Jersey has proclaimed Thursday, the 26th instant, to be held as a day of THANKSGIVING, &c. throughout that state.
COMMUNICATIONS.
The Pittacus for the day complains, that the People are not fed at the President's table.
It is worthy of remark, that this same member of the Hollow Ware Company, in one of his last numbers, complained of the extent of the President's salary—and now he would have the people of the United States, amounting to five millions in number, to be fed at his table.
This, perhaps, is however one of the most characteristic points of this sombier; for he undoubtedly must know, that the money would be expended in exciting an extensive insurrection, or "commotion," it would compel the people to consolidate under one dictatorial chief.—This is what the company aims at; it will be the inevitable consequence of success in their endeavours. To feed them, is what they mean by feeding the people.—But they are premature, perhaps, in "letting the cat out of the bag" at this moment.
One of the Hollow Ware men, in a piece reviving Mr. Hamilton's explanation, says—If you had proved such a thing to us, no one in the United States could have been daring enough to have withheld his belief.
How dare this Imp to violate one of the fixed maxims of Surgo at Profim & Co. which is, to believe nothing contrary to the interests of the concerned.
The assertion is a direct libel upon every member of the Firm.
The following placard, stuck up with great profusion in the streets of Paris, has excited general curiosity:
LET US PREVENT CIVIL WAR.
In the present circumstances, it is of importance, that the primary assemblies of Paris, those of great communes, and of the country, should adopt a wise, firm, and uniform conduct. It is the only means of removing that yoke under which the Convention would bend the necks of the people, by forcing them to name to the new legislative body the two thirds of the present deputies:
Vainly do the Convention bestow the epithets of aristocrats and royalists upon those who demonstrate the irregularity of the conduct of the deputies.
Let them respect the rights of the people! Let them cease to say, invest us with authority, for we desire it. Let them cease to wish to command esteem in a mass, and to pack votes, and the just people will acknowledge, and raise to the rank of legislators, the citizens who, in their important functions, have preferred the purity of their characters.
If the primary assemblies do not adopt sufficient precautions, liberty and public tranquility will run the greatest risk.
If the assemblies accept purely and simply the constitution, the convention will infer that the decree of the 5th Fructidor upon the means of terminating the revolution has been also accepted.
And if the electors refuse, the election will be annulled.
Will the primary assemblies reject the decree of the 5th Fructidor? The Convention, who have reserved the convocation of the electoral assemblies, will immediately deem those assemblies to be faithful to the public good, and will prefer their authority.
What will be the consequence, if the people and the friends of Liberty will be lost. If they resist, the public good will be disturbed.
Both these evils may be avoided, and by the following means:
After having accepted the constitution, and having rejected the decree of the 5th Fructidor, and
before the nomination of electors, the primary assemblies should decree,
1. That the powers of their deputies should cease on the 10th Vendémiaire.
2. That electors shall appoint for deputies, after the forms and conditions regulated by the constitution, the citizens worthy of their confidence, either in the convention or out of it.
3. That the electors shall meet as soon as possible to proceed to the elections.
4. That the primary assemblies shall not separate definitively, till the new Legislative body shall replace the Convention.
5. That in consequence, the primary assemblies shall meet each decade until that epoch.
This arrest having been taken the electors should be appointed, and an adjournment should take place to the following decade.

NATIONAL CONVENTION. 20th Fructidor.
Decree concerning M. De Bourbon Conti, and Madame d'Orleans.
Extract from the Register of the Decrees of the Committee of Public Safety of the National Convention of the 28th Thermidor, 3d year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
The united committees of general surety and public safety, after having considered the petition of Louis-Francois-Joseph-Bourbon Conti, prisoner for 27 months at Fort Jean, at Marseilles, praying:
1. That he may be finally set at liberty, and that he may be permitted to return and fix his abode under the superintendence of the commune of Villers-sur-Marne, department of Seine and Oise, at his country seat of Lalande, where he dwelt before his arrest;
2. That the acts for the sequestration of his estates be annulled, and in fine that he may re-enter upon the peaceable enjoyment of his property;
Considering that Louis-Francois-Joseph-Bourbon Conti, has been deprived of his liberty and of the enjoyment of his property, simply as a measure of general surety and by the inevitable effect of the revolutionary circumstances which have caused his detention;
Considering that no accusation exists against his principles, his sentiments or conduct, which have always been conformable to what ought to be expected from a Frenchman under the guidance of the laws of his country;
Considering that the point at which the Revolution has arrived, and that the Constitution about to be submitted to the acceptance of the freemen of France, that constitution destined to be the cause of its happiness, ought to dispose the government to all the acts of justice and humanity which may be consistent with safety, public tranquility, and the maintenance of Republican principles;
Considering that that tranquility cannot be troubled nor the solidity of those principles shaken by the liberation of a valetudinarian old man, well known to be weighed down with infirmities, refusing principally from his long detention in an unhealthy place, and in a climate of a different temperament from what he had been accustomed to, and the influence of which had visibly injured his health;
Considering finally that the decree of the 12th Messidor last had given to be understood, that the Bourbons confined at Marseilles should speedily see a period to their confinement, and that the conclusion to which the negotiations have come relative to the exchange of the daughter of the last King of the French, gives room for the belief that no political arrangement can in any wise be affected by the act of justice solicited by the petitioner;
Decree as follows; 1. That L. F. J. Bourbon Conti, shall be immediately set at liberty.
2. That he shall retire to the commune of Autun, to remain there provisionally, under the superintendence of the municipality, which shall render all convenient help to the re-establishment of his health, by the use of mineral waters, and other means of cure.
They decree also, that for the present, Louise-Marie-Therese-Bathsie de d'Orleans, female Bourbon, detained for the same space of time, and for the same causes at Fort Jean at Marseilles, and in whose favour all the beforementioned considerations equally operate, shall be immediately set at liberty, under the promise of retiring to the commune of Moulin, to remain there provisionally under the superintendence of the municipality.
Extract of a Letter from Bourdeaux, of September 16, 1795. "The Marshal de Rochambeau, Boissy d'Anglas, Barthelemi, le Couteux, and Fleurieu, ex-minister and preceptor of the son of Louis XVI. are talked of to form the Executive Directory."
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 20. In the Mary, capt. Goodrich, from Bristol, came passengers the lady of William Constable, Esq. of this city, and family, all in good health.
By Capt. Goodrich, of the ship Mary, arrived last evening from Bristol—we have received our LONDON ADVICES to the 29th of SEPTEMBER—From which we have selected the following Articles, and shall give further Extracts To morrow:
LONDON, Sept. 25. A messenger arrived at Mr. Dundas's office yesterday morning, with dispatches from general Dundas, dated head quarters at Delmenhorst, the 18th inst. at which time the necessary orders had been issued for the army to take the field immediately.
Tranquillity is said to have been restored at Geneva, in consequence of an union among the citizens against the terrorists.
Sept. 26. The intelligence in the Paris papers of the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd inst. which we received by express, this morning is of considerable importance.
The papers contain details of the operations on the Rhine near Dusseldorf, and an account of the right wing of the Sambre and Meuse army having crossed the Rhine at Neuwied. Our readers will recollect, that a few days after the French had crossed the Rhine at Dusseldorf they took possession of a little isle on the Rhine opposite to Neuwied, for the purpose of facilitating the passage of the right wing of the Sambre and Meuse army. As the Austrians, however, remained near Neuwied, with a body of 20,000 men, the passage was not attempted till the left wing of the Sambre army, by crossing the Sieg, had reduced the Austrians to the necessity of retreating with precipitation, in order to avoid being cut off. The right wing then passed the Rhine without resistance. The fortress of Ehrenbreitstein was immediately surrounded & summoned, and it was conceded, when the dispatches were sent away, that it would in a few days be surrendered to the victorious arms of the republic.
The sections of Paris remain firm in their determination to reject the decrees for the re-election of two thirds of the present convention. The convention remain equally firm in their attachment to the decrees. A new ground of attack has been taken against the opposers of the decrees at Paris.
Tallien has accused several of the journalists of wishing to produce another 31st May. He has endeavored to alarm the people upon the subject of the manoeuvres of the royalists; he mentions that the portraits of the late king and queen are sold at Paris: that emblems of royalty are ready, and that the force of the royalists ought not to be viewed with such contempt.
This statement of Tallien does not appear to be confirmed by any accounts of the state of Paris given in any of the Paris papers. The city is represented to be in a state of perfect tranquility, and it is hinted, that as the popularity of Tallien is on the decline, he wishes to restore it by violent inuendoes against the royalists; and by proposing the most severe measures against the enemies of the republic. Our readers will find, in the sitting of the 18th inst. that Tallien has entered into an engagement to give a full history of the massacres of Sept. and to demand an exemplary punishment of the authors of those massacres. It will be remembered that Tallien has frequently been accused of being concerned in them himself.
On the 21st of Sept. a decree was passed excluding all the relations of emigrants and the priests who have not taken the oaths from all juridical and administrative functions.
If there were any further proof wanting that it is not the intention of the French to interfere in the affairs of other nations, the manner in which the petition of a deputation of Poles was received who came to the Bar of the Convention to request the intervention of the French Government in behalf of their unhappy country, would be a convincing proof; for surely there cannot exist a more powerful motive for interference than that which would have for its object the prevention of the dismemberment of Poland.
From the Western Departments the Paris papers contain accounts of actions & skirmishes productive of no very important effect.
On the 11th ult. the deputies on mission in the West had an interview, with Stofflet and Sepaux, the Chouan Chiefs. It is said that the desire of the Vendéans and Chouans for peace was the cause of the interview.
The Commissioners from France arrived yesterday evening at Dover. The name of one is M. Louis Monneron, a banker of considerable eminence at Paris. The Paris papers mention, that they are come to negotiate an exchange of prisoners; but, as our Dover correspondent very properly observes, that an exchange has already been carried into effect, it is supposed that the mission of the Commissioners is of a more important nature.
September 28.
The intelligence which we receive by the Paris papers increases in interest and importance. The papers of the 24th and 25th inst. which were brought to us by express this morning, contain the important account of the army of the Rhine and the Moselle, under General Pichegru, having crossed the Rhine, and of the surrender of the city of Mannheim, by capitulation, on the 20th inst.
If our readers will refer to the articles of capitulation, they will find, that Mannheim is scarcely to be treated as a conquered city. The French are to be the guardians of the garrison, of the magazines, artillery, and stores, 'till the peace, when they are to be restored to the elector. The greater part of the Palatinate is to be considered as a neutral country, and no requisitions and contributions are to be levied in it.
From this lenity it may fairly be inferred, that there is a good understanding between the French and the elector Palatine, and that the latter is on the point of concluding a separate peace with the republic. An article in the Amsterdam Gazette of the 22d inst. which we received this morning, says, that treaties of peace between France and the Elector Palatine and Elector of Cologne, were to have been signed on the 6th inst. The same article states, that the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein has surrendered to the French, and that Mentz is to be evacuated.
It has been formally announced to the Convention by the committee of Process Verbanx that almost all the primary assemblies of France have accepted the new constitution, and that a majority of the voters in the primary assemblies have accepted the decrees for the re-election of the 2/3rds of the present convention.
It is necessary, however, to observe, that the voters against the decrees in the sections of Paris are not included in the statement, on account of the sections not having expressed the number of the voters. If this had not been the case, the majority would probably have been against the decrees.
The decree for establishing the Constitution as the fundamental law of the republic was passed with the most unbounded applause.
The electoral assemblies are to meet on the 12th of next month, for the election of the members of the new legislature, and are to separate on the 21st. They are to conform in the strictest manner to the decrees for the re-election of the two thirds of the present convention.
The new Legislature is to meet on the 15 Brumaire.

TREASURY of the UNITED STATES, August 24th, 1795. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum: 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress, passed on the third day of March, 1795, intitled, "An Act making further provision for the support of Public Credit, and for the redemption of the Public Debt," there will be reimbursed and redeemed, on the first day of January ensuing, the rate or proportion of two per centum of the principal of the debt or stock, expressed in the Certificates issued to the said Creditors respectively. 2d. The said reimbursements will be made at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the said Stock may stand credited at the close of the present year. 3d. The said reimbursements will be made to the said Creditors in person, or to their Attorneys duly constituted, but the powers of attorney which may be produced must contain an authority to receive the said reimbursement of principal, otherwise no more than the usual dividend of interest will be paid; and although the two per centum of principal to be redeemed, should not be demanded, yet the interest thereon will cease from the said first day of January next. 4th. To prevent the great trouble and expense which would attend a renewal of the Certificates, in consequence of the said reimbursement of Principal, it has been determined that no renewal shall be made: And further, that the Certificates which may be issued during the year One thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, in consequence of any transfers of the said six per cent. Stock, shall notwithstanding the reimbursement of two per centum, as aforementioned, be expressed for the respective sums of the original Capital Stock. All persons who may negotiate the Funded six per cent. Stock of the United States, bearing a present interest, are therefore cautioned to observe, that during the year One thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, the value or true amount of Principal unredeemed of said Debt or Stock, will be ninety-eight per centum of the sums expressed in the Certificates. Given under my hand, at Philadelphia, the day and year before mentioned, pursuant to directions of the Secretary of the Treasury, SAMUEL MEREDITH, Treasurer of the United States. Aug. 24. rawtjt
A MILL for SALE. FOR Sale, on private contract, five undivided shares parts of that valuable merchant-mill, called Old Pennypack Mill, with two dwelling houses, stables, cooper's shop, cash house, and other convenient buildings, with about 20 acres of good land, the greatest part thereof is excellent watered meadow, the remainder garden, orchard, and wood land; situate ten miles from Philadelphia, near the Washington Tavern, partly on the post-road leading to New-York, and partly on the River road; a remarkably healthy country, and an excellent neighbourhood. This mill being on Pennypack creek, a heavy stream of water, with about 15 feet head and fall, and the tide flowing about 6 feet, will admit a vessel carrying 1350 bushels of wheat to lay along side, and unload into the mill with Evans's elevator in about three hours. The mill house is large and built of stone, founded on a rock, the walls uncommonly thick and strong, (such a piece of mason work is rarely to be found) contains five floors, two water wheels, and three pair of the best French burr stones all running, double geared, with three bolting reels and cloths of the first quality, rolling screen, cylinder, and fans for cleaning wheat in the best manner, and passing it afterwards by an elevator into a hanging garnet; also, conveyers, elevators, and hopper box, all in complete order. There are two large frame buildings adjoining the mill, which are convenient for storing flour, shorts, cakes, &c. A corn-mill is erected within the building, with bolting, reel cloth, and other necessary fixtures for manufacturing large quantities of kiln-dried corn meal. The stream of water is so constant that upwards of 60,000 bushels of wheat have frequently been manufactured at this mill, annually. The tumbling dam was built of stone and frame about 30 years ago, but the late extraordinary frescoes have made a breach therein, it can easily be repaired altogether with stone, the greatest part of which is already at hand, and the remainder can be quarried near the dam, as there are several good quarries of excellent stone on the premises, and adjacent to the creek; the contiguity of this very valuable estate to Philadelphia, and the easy navigation for shallops, with the above-mentioned great advantages, and many others not here mentioned, must be obvious to any person who may view the premises. An indisputable title, clear of all encumbrances, will be made to the purchaser on paying part of the money, and giving satisfactory security for the remainder, payable with interest in instalments at such times as may be agreed on. For further particulars enquire on the premises of FRANCIS LEWIS, Executor to the estate of Robert Lewis, deceased; JOHN SWIFT, near Bushell-Town; or NATHANIEL LEWIS, or DAVID LEWIS, in Philadelphia. August 31. w&f.

Forty Dollars Reward. RAN away from the subscriber, living at Mordington Mills, near Frederick, in Kent county, state of Delaware, on the night of the 27th of June last, a negro man named BENN, about 27 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, of a yellow complexion, and might pass for a mulatto. The clothes he had on cannot, with exactness, be described, as he made several breaches of honesty, in that way, on his setting out. He is a very great sinner in his dress; has naturally a condemned and surly countenance, altho' he at times affects a smiling ore; his village is thin, with large black whiskers; the whites of his eyes often red; it is not recollected whether he has any particular flesh-marks, except on his back, where may be seen (the light) the IS of the whip, placed by judicial authority, for house-breaking, lock-breaking, stealing, &c. as well before, as since I purchased him. He is possessed of but a small share of reason or sensibility; a great coward, tho' his looks are devilish, and at the same time sneaking. As he took his flight upwards from here, at the commencement of harvest, it is presumed he was persuaded by some of the free negroes in this quarter to make his escape with them—should he not be in Philadelphia, he is probably between here and there. Whoever takes up the said negro Benn, and secures him in any public goal, so that his master may get him again, shall have the above reward; and if brought home additional charges for reasonable expenses, paid by James Douglass.

LOTTERY INTELLIGENCE. We are informed that the gentleman who drew the 15,000 dollar prize, in the Canal Lottery, was the proprietor of only a single Ticket—This instance of good fortune, shews that it is well to be in Fortune's road; and is the more pleasing, as the owner of the prize is a very worthy, though not a very affluent citizen. The Scheme of the Canal Lottery is certainly one of the best which has appeared—for, independent of the useful objects to which its proceeds are to be applied, the scheme is so calculated as to continually enhance the value of the Tickets remaining in the wheel; because, while the drawing progresses, the chance of a capital prize growing greater, must increase the value of the undrawn Ticket. The Prizes drawn to the close of the drawing on last Wednesday Evening, were    1  of  —  —  15,000    2  of  —  —  2,000    5  of  —  —  1,000    4  of  —  —  500    11  of  —  —  100    1700  of  —  —  12    And there then remained in the wheel    1  of  —  —  50,000    1  of  —  —  30,000    2  of  —  —  10,000    6  of  —  —  2,500    9  of  —  —  2,000    15  of  —  —  1,000    36  of  —  —  500    39  of  —  —  100    14800  of  —  —  12   And 5 stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each; by which, and the nature of those 5 stationary prizes, which are to belong to the five last drawn tickets, it will be found, that an undrawn ticket was yesterday morning, worth nearly 111-2 dollars, which, at the beginning, was worth no more than 10 dollars—and so the undrawn tickets must continue to increase in value, as fast as the drawing proceeds: And this circumstance will account for the number of Offices which are opened for the sale of Tickets, as the profits must be daily increasing; and in a few days a Ticket now selling at 11 dollars, will no doubt command 15 dollars, and must continue to get higher as the drawing approximates to the five stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each.
