The "Constitution" conceives "Caroliniensis" to be the worshiped "idol" of the upper country, pronounces him to be the sole author of the Reform association, and declares, that he was influenced principally by motives of personal aggrandizement.

Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1796.
Capt. Gutterton failed from Teneriffe the ninth of May, which allows but nine days for the news of the peace said to be concluded between France and Austria—to pass from Germany or France to Cadiz, and from Cadiz to Teneriffe—So that however desirable such an event, it seems as if the above account is not to be relied on.

The Schooner Swallow, Capt. Green, which failed from this port a few days ago for the West Indies, last Friday about a mile to the southward of Cape Charles, carried away her foremast, which obliged her to return to port—next day after the accident, she saw a frigate which bore down upon her, but could not learn what nation she belonged to—She was supposed to be the Concord from the Chesapeake.

NEW-YORK, June 16.
The humiliating situation our navigation is placed in, needs but little comment. It is to be hoped that Americans will not sacrifice tamely, at the shrine of foreign politics, their most valuable privileges. It matters not from what quarter the aggression comes. If it is the interest of either, or both, of the two principal powers at war, to distress our trade, in order to weaken the resources of their opponent; or to influence our political opinions to the prejudice of that maintained by either of them, it becomes the more necessary for us to be united. This language may not suit those who attend only to partial views; but, we run no risk in pronouncing it to be the most calculated to preserve our national dignity and independence.
The brig Julius Cæsar, on her way to Connecticut, upset in a flaw of wind, just after turning the point at Corlears's Hook. A man or two on her fore-top-falls yard, cluing up the sail, at the time, escaped down the shrouds. The brig was light, and almost without any ballast. Both topsails being standing, soon after reaching the water, she turned her keel up, and carried away her top-masts, probably against the bottom of the river. She drifted a mile or two with the tide, when by great exertions, and the aid of people in boats from the shore, she was towed on Long Island shore. We are happy to hear that by the exertions of the owners, she is got off without any material damage, excepting in her masts and spars. No lives were lost.

One, of many, of the fatal effects of the Slave-trade. The Schooner Friends Adventure, capt. Stewart, of Savannah, lying at the mouth of the river Gambia, had 72 slaves on board; about the 15th of February, while the captain and part of the crew were ashore, the slaves rose, killed two of the people, run the schooner ashore, where she was lost, and escaped.
KNOXVILLE, May 23.
In our last we informed, that a party of Indians fired on three men, on Little Pigeon, and that the white men returned the fire and killed an Indian, called the Sour Muff. We now have it in our power, from respectable authority to say, that four Indians, hunting in that neighbourhood, were fired on by white men, who wounded one Indian, and took from them two guns. They have since demanded the guns of the agent of the United States, to the Cherokees—And notwithstanding such provocations still shew the greatest disposition for peace.
A Quarterly Meeting of the Hibernian Society for the relief of Emigrants from Ireland, will be held at Mr. M'Shane's Tavern, in Third-Street, at 7 o'clock this Evening. MATHEW CAREY, Sec'y.

PARIS, April 16.
Treilhard made a report from the Committee appointed to examine the message of the Directory, inviting the council to pass a penal law against such men as should urge the re-establishment of Royalty, and of the Constitution of 1793; and against such as, in the seditious assemblages of the people, should preach up the annihilation of the Republic.
The resolutions proposed by Treilhard were couched in nearly the following terms:
"All those who, by words or writings, spoken or distributed, shall provoke the dissolution of the Legislative body and of the Directory, shall provoke pillage and an equal division of property;—the re-establishment of Royalty and of the Constitution of 1793, or any other than that of 1795, shall be declared guilty of an attack upon the Public Safety, and shall be punished with death."
"All assemblies of the people, at which provocations shall appear, shall be dispersed by force."
"Persons guilty of the crimes specified in the first articles, shall be tried by the Directors of a jury, discharging the functions of officers of Police, conformable to the Code of Crimes and punishments, subject to a special jury."
"All persons attending such assemblies shall be obliged to retire on the summons of a Magistrate, under pain of banishment, or five years imprisonment in irons. Resistance shall be punished with death."
"All persons who shall publicly wear any other badge of distinction (signe de ralliement) than the National Cockade, shall be imprisoned for a year." These resolutions were adopted by the Council. April 17.
Camus made a report from the committee appointed to examine the crimes resulting from an abuse of the press. He declared it was impossible to propose a general law, applicable to all authors and printers, without invading the liberty of the press. The committee, however, were of opinion, that a law of Police might be passed, relative to journals, gazettes, periodical publications, and addresses to the public: he therefore proposed some resolutions containing, among others, the following regulations:
 1. No journals, gazettes, nor periodical publications, shall be printed; no addresses to the public distributed; no bill printed nor stuck up, without the name of the author or authors, and the name and place of abode of the printer.  2. Every violation of the preceding article, by an omission of the name of the author or printers, or by the insertion of a false name and place of abode, shall be prosecuted by the Police, and punished with six months imprisonment for the first offence, and two years imprisonment for every subsequent offence.  3. If the journals or periodical publications contain any articles that are not signed, any extracts or pretended extracts from foreign papers, the person who shall have published such works shall be responsible for the same.  4. All persons who shall hawk about, distribute, sell, or stick up any papers, in violation of the first article, shall incur the punishment specified in the second.  5. The authors, printers, or persons who stick up any papers containing such incitements or provocations as are declared criminal by the law of the 27th inst. (April 16) shall be prosecuted, and punished in the manner there set forth.  6. All vendors and hawkers of unsigned periodical publications, who shall be unable to point out the authors of the same, or who shall give false information on that head, or ascribe them to foreigners, or persons not having a fixed residence, shall suffer two years imprisonment in irons, and, for the second offence, transportation.  7. The printers, hawkers, or bill-stickers, who shall be arrested for any of the above offences, cannot be brought to trial, nor discharged, until the author shall have been tried, or all endeavors to apprehend him shall have been declared fruitless. 
These resolutions were all adopted. LONDON, April 19.
Yesterday noon his majesty, accompanied by the prince of Wales, duke of York, prince Ernest, duke of Gloucester, and prince William, reviewed the duke of Gordon's regiment of Highland Fencibles, in Hyde Park, where they went through a variety of evolutions and firings, for near two hours, to the great satisfaction of his majesty, and all the officers present. The duke, Lt. Col. Woodford, and other officers, were present. The corps appeared to be about 500 men mostly hard looking young men, all in the Highland dress, and accompanied by their national music, the bag pipe. Some of the female part of the royal family, the Dutchess of Gordon, and several female nobility, in carriages, with a prodigious crowd of spectators were present. The fineness of the day added much to the brilliancy of the spectacle. The king and his suite met the regiment at the horse guards, and proceeded with them, up the park, to the place of review.
This being the first Highland regiment his majesty had ever seen, he seemed particularly attentive to all their evolutions. The Dutchess of Gordon and Lady Louisa were dressed in the uniform of the regiment, and they were particularly honored with the royal attention.
It is but justice to add, that the discipline and good conduct of this regiment has, on all occasions been eminently conspicuous. They are now on their march to the North of England, where they are to be encamped under the command of prince William of Gloucester.
The East India Company have made considerable progress in raising the 3000 volunteers they undertook to procure for the royal navy, at their own expence, more than two thirds of that number being already complete, consisting of a very good proportion of able and ordinary seamen, and other useful hands, whom the liberal bounties offered by the company have induced to come forward in this popular service.
The Dutch fleet, we know, has with it two store ships, laden with naval stores; and it is likewise well known, that it is neither victualled nor equipped for a long voyage. The conclusion seems that
it is bound to Brest, and that the long prevalence of N. E. winds has driven it a great way into the Western Ocean. The Dutch ships cannot reach Brest till a change of wind to the westward, and by that time, we trust, we shall have a squadron off that harbor to prevent their entrance.
There are 80 English prisoners closely confined at Rotterdam, being the crews of ships which have been taken. Dissatisfied with their allowances which are scantily divided, they lately attacked their guards, but were at length quelled without bloodshed. Since that time they have been deprived of every indulgence before enjoyed.
HAGUE, March 28.
Our Minister at Paris made a formal notification to the French Directory of the opening of our National Convention, through the French minister of Foreign affairs. The following are the copies of those.
STATE PAPERS.
LIBERTY—EQUALITY—FRATERNITY.
The Minister Plenipotentiary of the Batavian Republic, to Charles Dolacroux, Minister of Foreign affairs.
Citizen Minister,
The undersigned Ministers Plenipotentiary of the Batavian Republic have the honor officially to inform the French Government, that after a number of difficulties happily overcome, their National Convention opened its public sittings on the first of March, (old style,) and that from that day the States General have no longer an existence. The diplomatic body are in consequence not to treat on political subjects but with the new government which the Convention is about to organize. This day, citizen minister, will be accounted one of the most happy for the Dutch nation. History will transmit it to posterity as forming the second epoch of the deliverance of that country which seems called on for her destiny to overturn the thrones of tyrants. William V. on imitating the conduct of Philip II. found amongst the true Batavians the same impatience under the yoke, and the same eagerness to break their chains. Why should the natural foil of liberty reckon till some slaves amongst the number of her children?
Under the auspices of a great nation which liberty has conducted for four years from victory to victory, land which has made the proudest tyrants to tremble—guided at that mass of light which has majestically arisen at every period of the French Revolution, the Batavian convention cannot but appear great in its labors, and the result, to the people whom it has the honor to represent, cannot be otherwise than happy. It will answer, you may rely, citizen Minister, to the hopes of our deliverers and will act upon the models which they have furnished. It will never swerve from those great principles of justice, which the French people have snatched from oblivion, to mark the line which they have prescribed to themselves. (Signed.) BLAUW. MEYER.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Citizens Blauw and Meyer, Ministers Plenipotentiary of the Batavian Republic at Paris.
Citizen Minister,
"I have communicated, citizens, to the Directory the note which you have transmitted to me. They have learned with the most lively satisfaction the most lively satisfaction the opening of your National Convention. Convinced that the formation of such a central authority can alone unite the Batavian people—extinguish that spirit of federalism which paralysed its energies, and its means of resisting oppression—and give a vigorous government the sole guarantee of the rights of the people, the Directory have seconded as far as it could be done without injury to your independence, the efforts of the true friends of liberty. This salutary end is accomplished. Your Convention has opened its sittings. May this titular authority protect the cradle of Batavian liberty! May this new Hercules slake in its nervous arms the serpents of Royalism and anarchy which endeavor to wrap it in their folds, and to embarrass its proceedings. May it give you a wise constitution protective of liberty and equality, a government powerful for good and weak for evil. May you attain the proper goal which the French nation are now about to reach, without purchasing it by those long convulsions, those painful excesses, and those acute agonies, which with us have aggravated its price. The Executive Directory, faithful to the friendship which united the two republics, and to the principles of good faith which form the rule of its conduct, will defend your independence without, and will support your constituted authorities within, with all the influence of a friendship founded on a common interest."
It is pleasant for me, citizens, to be under such circumstances the interpreter of their sentiments, I partake of them with sincerity. I shall endeavor to realize them with zeal, and shall regard as the happiest days of my life those on which I shall contribute to grave on the list of freedom, the name of an interesting people, who formerly achieved their own independence, and who owe every thing to themselves even to the soil which they inhabit, and which they have ravished from the Ocean. Health and Fraternity.
(Signed) DELACROIX.
Philadelphia, June 17.
NEW THEATRE.
The entertainments, announced for this evening, for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Rowson, are selected and varied with great judgment, and promise as rich a treat for the amateurs of the drama, as any that has been served up this season.
It is hoped that the public will not be unmindful of those whom unkind chance has thus thrown towards the close of the theatrical campaign, when even curiosity is tempted to turn her prying eye aside. To the remuneration of a benefit night, the sons and daughters of the sock and buskin direct their longing eyes, during the too tediously protracted season of fatigue and exertion. This animates their hopes, and encourages their perseverance, and of this boon it were cruel to deprive them.
To the ladies who have perused Charlotte, the
Trials of the Heart, and the Fille de Chambre, and who can bear ample testimony to the laudable tendency of all the productions of Mrs. Rowson, it cannot be necessary to use any recommendations of the respectable candidate for their favor, who unites in her person the double capacity of authoress and actress. They will, doubtless, extend that kind attention and patronage which reflect equal honour on the head and the heart of those who confer them.
FAYETTEVILLE, June 2.
Superior Court, Wilmington district. May Term, 1796.
THE Grand Jury, not assuming to themselves a capacity to decide upon the merits of the several treaties lately under discussion in Congress, but persuaded that they were the best which under the existing circumstances could be obtained, and that therefore sound policy as well as the public tranquillity, required that the said treaties should be ratified and carried into effect, do resolve unanimously, That the President of the United States, by ratifying the said treaties, has exhibited a fresh proof of his wisdom and patriotism; and that the members of Congress, who from a regard to national faith, and the peace and happiness of the country, voted for the necessary appropriations for carrying the said treaties into operation, are justly entitled to the gratitude of their fellow-citizens.

The situation is remarkably healthy, and every part of the land is well watered—has great abundance of the choicest fruit: about 30 acres are in wood, and there are about 50 acres of meadow-ground, great part thereof can be wa- tered, and the whole laid down in Timothy-grass at a small expense.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE: And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri- vate buildings to be erected in the City of Washington— Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to forfeit the whole business in a year from the ending of the draw- ing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the a- mount of the lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the mor: suspicion indispensable. SAMUEL BLUDGET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Bolton; of John Hopkias, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
