TRENTON. LAW INTELLIGENCE. Communicated by a Correspondent.
ON Monday last the Supreme Court of this State rendered judgment, confirming the election of Jacob Anderson, Esq. as sheriff in fact of the county of Hunterdon;
The opinion of Kinsey, Chief Justice, as publicly delivered, was in substance as follows:—This is a case which stands before the court upon a certiorari directed to the clerk of Hunterdon, commanding him to certify the election of Sheriff of the county;
NAVAL ACTION. [The following authentic account of the naval action between the French and English off the Isle of France of which we have before had some particulars, we translated from a late Paris Moniteur, for which it was extracted from a Journal printed in the Isle of France.]
The projected expedition against the Isle of France, considered by some as a mere fiction, was on the eve of being effected. The ships armed at Bombay, Madras and Bengal were ready to sail.
Commodore Newcome had divided his squadron in two parts, the one taking their station in the straits of Sunda and Malacca, and the other cruising off the Isle de France;
At the moment of the enemy's appearance there was but one wish to meet, fight and capture them or at least force them to abandon their station.
October 23. Our division has just returned into port after having fought a glorious battle against our enemies.
Yesterday they fell in with them about 24 miles north of Round Island. At half past three in the afternoon the engagement began, the British having the weather gage.
The frigate La Prudente of 32 guns began the fire within musket shot and raked the English commodore; at the same time La Cible of 40 guns poured a broadside on the Diomede.
La Cible, already ymch crippled, could not succeed in getting beyond the Centurion, who gave her whole broadsides while the Diomede raked her fore and aft.
The Republican commodore hoisted then the signal to effect the manoeuvre by a gradual motion, but La Cible, hidden amidst the fire of 3 ships, did not perceive the signal.
However the Corvette le Coureur of 16 guns supported her with an unparalleled audacity; Captain Garrau was daring enough to engage during three quarters of an hour the Diomede, a single well directed broadside of which would have been sufficient to sink that small sloop;
At half past six the Centurion having fallen to windward La Cible continued her rout; the Diomede seemed willing to pursue her, and fired some volleys which however did not reach her.
La Prudente took her in tow and the division composed of two frigates and the Corvette le Coureur returned to port.
On board La Cible the number of killed amounts to 22 and 62 wounded, among whom 3 very dangerously.
Among the wounded are lieutenants Fournier and Brunet.
Among the killed Lehyr Lieutenant and Quelen sailing master (maître voilier) are more particularly regretted. Lehyr fell a victim to his heroism. He was wounded in the heel and being entreated to leave the deck and get his wound dressed, "no, no, said he, I swore to die at my post and I will not quit it."
Lehyr was formerly master on board the frigate and has these 27 years been in the French navy. He left behind him helpless children, a wife, a sister, a mother in-law, who all had no fortune, no protection but him.
The frigate La Prudente lost 15 men in killed, and 20 wounded.
Captains Flouet and Salembiers, two distinguished officers, are among the killed. Commodore Renault himself was struck down and received many contusions which, though not particularly dangerous, incommode him extremely.
Among those who have distinguished themselves Sixte Brunet, a sailor belonging to the Prudente ought not to be forgot. This brave seaman was occupied in loading his cannon when a ball carried away his right hand; without giving the least sign of emotion he immediately seized the rammer with his left hand, and could not be prevailed on to go and get his wound dressed, before he had completed the loading of his piece.
The Corvette le Coureur had one man killed and five wounded.
The English on their side have been crippled in such a manner that they will no longer feel inclined to cruise on the coast of Isle de France, at least not as long as they suppose that our frigates continue at Port Maurice.
The Centurion lost her mizen mast and her fore top-mast; her sails were much torn, and her rigging cut to pieces; five port holes of her main deck were shut before the end of the combat; two of her pumps were constantly going; her helm was dismounted and the was seen throwing a top-mast with a cable overboard in order to be able to steer.
October 28. There is no longer any doubt but the British have entirely given up the cruise in this part of the Ocean.
L'Union, Capt. Raguin, with a cargo of 150 oxen has just entered this port; by the course he took, he must have infallibly fallen in with the enemy, if they had kept their station.
Every nerve is now strained in order to repair the damages, and put the frigates in a state to take the sea again in a short time.
From the Paris Moniteur. Translations for the AURORA continued.
NATIONAL CONVENTION. March 16.
DEBATE ON THE OBSERVANCE OF SECRECY IN TREATIES. On the relations of the French Republic with foreign governments.
Cambacérès in the name of the committee of public safety. It would be useless to return to the motives that have determined the committee of public safety to propose a new measure for the solution of a difficulty which may frequently start in the course of the negotiations;
The first discussion ran entirely on the point to know whether the members of the committee of public safety should alone be authorised to negotiate treaties, or whether they could not undertake transactions of that kind but after consulting a commission appointed ad hoc, or a committee empowered for that purpose by the National Convention;
Therefore, we think that it coincides with your views, and cannot but diffuse light on the important object, if we present a summary of the discussions in a series of questions which may be successively decided on, or discussed in case that some new observations should be offered and make it necessary to call in the assistance of minute reflection.
In this series it seemed indispensable to bind ourselves less to the order, in which the propositions were delivered, than to follow the natural course of ideas and their analogy. They are consequently ranged as follows.
I. Can the Republic contract with foreign governments engagements, that are to be kept secret during a fixed period? II. What may be the objects of these secret negotiations, or which are the points interdicted. III. Shall the committee of public safety be authorised to open these negotiations alone? IV. Should that committee not be permitted to conduct negotiations of that kind without consulting a commission or a committee?
If this order obtains your approbation, I demand to be heard on each of the questions, which might give rise to some debates.
It was demanded that the members who had had their names inscribed for delivering their opinions on the question should be heard.
Audoin. I am far from confounding the present situation with the constitutional state of the Republic. I know that in the latter case her political relations might without danger be treated publicly in a manner more conformable to the character of a free people; but then also we should not see all Europe armed against us;
Let us not complain with too much bitterness of that kind of civic uneasiness which sometimes enflames our souls, and of that imperious propensity towards examination which we are not always able to express with moderation.
clears up, but pardon us if we think of the explosion of thunder, at the moment we perceive still its sulphurous smell, and when the smoke is hardly dissipated.
I shall now touch the question without mentioning the cries of peace, accompanied abroad by cries of famine and several other symptoms.
But let us banish from the sanctuary of liberty a suspicion that ought not to fully so good a cause! The coalition of kings observe us, they would measure their propositions on our apparent feebleness, and protract by never ceasing negotiations the moment wished for by all good Frenchmen, to enjoy the fruits of their revolutionary and warlike achievements.
I am of the opinion of those who have rejected the creation of a commission, or of a committee, as proposed by some.
It was objected in favor of the establishing a commission, or committee, for judging the operations of the committee of public safety that the guarantee would be more certain. Citizens, diffidence retained by wisdom within its true boundaries is useful to our country; but an exaggerated diffidence, which prudence condemns, proves dangerous to liberty, and is nothing else but a source of perpetual anarchy.
The people at large ought to be united with you. Infuse them by your legislation from those enemies of the revolution who convinced of their impotence to overthrow liberty are forced to take their hopes for realities, and their stupid menaces for certain triumphs.
To infuse the people from the incorrigible enemies of liberty, it is necessary, I think, to dry up the source of alarms among a nation agitated by the course of a great revolution, who communicate to one another their sentiments with the rapidity of lightning; and you will never succeed in rendering the existence of alarms impossible but by directing the reins of government with boldness.
In a preceding sitting it was said, that we constantly abandoned ourselves to the impulse of demagogues, and that the people would at last be ruined by an excess of democracy: Well, we must at last eradicate a fatal idea conceived by a portion of the assembly against the other part of the Convention, and afterwards propagated and accredited by men of every stamp.
The members who are more particularly called to the helm of our affairs, ought not to forget that this opinion is that of all true friends of their country: Let them not be afraid of a responsibility more honorable than perilous.
Citizens, if you will obstruct the march of your colleagues, who are specially charged with the burden of government, if you will annihilate their force and enfeeble that confidence without which you can accomplish nothing, and must be at the mercy of your enemies,—if you will, this create immediately a commission or a committee of revisors.
I will now ask how you can expect to oblige foreigners to have confidence in the men of your choice in your work, if you yourselves have no confidence in them? how can an architect engage people to take lodgings in a house of his construction if he himself appears doubtful on the score of its solidity?
Let us have esteem enough for ourselves and our colleagues, let us sufficiently rely on their love for our country, on the interest of their own glory, on their horror against usurpation, in order to abandon to them the use of all the means, which they believe necessa-
ry for establishing an honorable and solid peace.
I do not know of any thing properly called secret; I know only of measures preparatory for treaties. They may give them a name whatever they like, but all my wishes are at this moment, directed towards the necessity of depriving our enemies of as many pretexts as possible, which tend to revive their intrigues and conspirations.
Every one of us knows that the conduct of other governments is always surrounded by clouds because it is their interest to hide from the people operations, which are not intended to prepare the welfare of nations, but to flatter the passions of those who stile themselves their masters;
After these considerations, demand the previous question on the establishing of a commission or a committee as proposed; and I add, that the five articles adopted by the convention, & the sixth article proposed in one of the latter sittings, with the amendment of Crassous, are sufficient for a safe, vigorous and bold march of the committee of public safety.
Citizens, let us hasten to lay the foundation of a durable fraternity between us and the other nations. This will be an act of virtuous policy, the accomplishment of which belongs perhaps to the people alone, who do not pretend to tire fame by agitating without intermission the world with noise of their victories;
La Revellure Lepeau. If you wish to consolidate the French Republic on a firm basis you ought to have in view three principal objects:
I. It is necessary to repair immediately, by simple, just and efficacious measures the disorder of our finances, if these are lost, we must be lost also and the Republic with us. II. We ought to occupy ourselves incessantly with organizing a definitive government, without such a rallying point even the best and most enlightened citizens are imperceptibly carried over to one or the other party at the very moment they imagine they defend nothing but the cause of their country.
Revolutions succeed. Revolutions and after having run round the whole circle we must find ourselves at the very point we started from, within the dungeons of despotism.
III. Lastly it is of importance to adopt all reasonable means, in order to restore peace to Europe.
You have seen the most powerful Republic sink under the weight of their own victories when they did not take care to stop at certain boundaries marked out by wisdom.
Besides if the valor of our warriors and the omnipotent genius of liberty ought to inspire us with a just confidence and promise uninterrupted success to our arms, it is not less true, that wisdom commands us not to forget that in modern as well as ancient times, fickle fortune has often baffled the efforts of courage and betrayed the most sacred cause.
The question we are discussing is relative to the third object and I want to remind you, how much its execution will probably hasten the accomplishment of the two others.

Several orators have delivered their opinion on this question: "Can there exist secret articles in the treaties concluded between France and foreign powers?" They maintained the affirmative by arguments the most solid and Cambacérès in a concise clear & profound discourse, in a discussion replete with all the circumspection which delicate circumstances require, had already operated an entire conviction in me. However the deliberations being now prolonged, I shall offer you the tribute of my ideas.
I shall as others have already observed say that if you reject the proposition of the committee you remove peace to an epoch, the distance of which it is impossible to calculate, and consequently you expose yourselves to make human blood flow, and protract the state of war and penury, we have been reduced to by the last tyrants, and all this not only without the least advantage to the cause of liberty but with much probability of injury.
The committee offered to your consideration several hypotheses which demonstrate, that one power cannot make peace but by agreeing with you upon secret articles, the too sudden publicity of which might expose her to be overwhelmed by the rest of the confederates before she could possibly put herself in a state calculated to guarantee her independence; that another power can only by means of secret treaties agree with you upon military manoeuvres, which serve to disconcert the enemy now become common to the contracting parties; that a third power may arm in your favor; but secrecy is necessary in order to prevent her from being attacked and crushed by her neighbors, before she can complete her military dispositions and when the different interests existing among all the powers are considered we may easily perceive that the motives of secrecy are infinite.
Besides I think it not amiss to add, that this disposition alone may have on your enemies an effect capable of loosening the ties of the coalition by spreading diffidence amongst them all; and it is not in the least improbable that a power, which might else be backward would then hasten rather to negotiate in the hope of obtaining more favorable conditions.
Let us take a view of the objections.— Some pretend that all this is but a snare, that a secret known to twelve persons would cease to deserve that name, and would be as well kept by 7 or 8 hundred individuals. I answer first: the assertion that there is no more probability of keeping a secret among 12 than among 1,000 individuals is palpably groundless. Secondly: As long as the coalition powers are only through a secret channel informed of the negotiations being opened with one of the confederates, they can, and must entertain a just diffidence with respect to that point; since their indifference may only be feigned and designed as a mere snare. Besides they cannot openly act against the party suspected because they have no evident proof of such a treaty containing articles prejudicial to their cause.
They said also that this was giving a too unbounded latitude of powers to the committee of public safety and that by means of a secret article the committee might stipulate with foreign powers that they should march against the Convention; but suppose that you should have a committee composed of 12 men, perverse enough to take a part so criminal and so foolish, do you believe they would be stupid enough not to perceive that all the decrees of the universe could not save them from a just reproach of the most execrable treason and from legal and condign punishment?
It is quite clear that if a trust my interests to the hands of some body and give him unlimited power with respect to some points, he cannot pretend that I have given him leave to assassinate me with the powers I gave him; might as well have done it without them. It seems to me that after these plain remarks such a supposition is inadmissible.
Another of my colleagues seemed to doubt whether he could vote for a treaty, the articles of which were not in the least finally made public; "I cannot," he said, "delegate to another the powers, which have not been entrusted to myself."
It was also observed that the admission of secret articles clashed with the principles of democracy; I shall make a single answer to these different observations.
This delicacy certainly deserves to be praised; but consider the object under more than one aspect. What are the wishes of a people appointing a convention in order to constitute a free government? It is that in order to attain the desired object, their deputies should adopt all the measures, offered by justice and reason, and commanded by circumstances; therefore if it be true, as it seems to me clearly demonstrated, that in order to succeed in establishing a speedy and honourable peace the proposed decree is necessary; if, as every one of us allows, this peace ought to revive public credit, bring back confidence, annihilate factions, restore abundance and consequently facilitate the establishing and consolidating of a republican government, you have not only the right, but I say more it is your duty to consent to it.
Let them not pretend that with such maxims it would be easy to bring back the
passed calamities, for, firstly, in the eyes of every thinking creature it is always impossible to establish liberty by means of tyranny, justice by injustice, and morality by immorality; observe besides that I did not say by all means possible but by all measures offered by justice and reason; for, citizens, no body but base flatterers and infamous corruptors of public morality can pretend that a people have a right to do what they please.
The duty of a people collectively considered is the same as that of an individual; they can desire nothing but what is right; and as soon as reason and justice are encroached upon by all, may be as well the tyrants of a single individual, as the individual may be the tyrant of all.
These maxims are undoubtedly not palatable to the courtiers of the day; they know too well that the multitude like kings like to be flattered and that by means of adulation they may reign under the name of the people; however the true friend is the upright man who serves us, but not the vile intriguer, who humours us.
People; it was the plausible zeal of base flatterers that led the infamous Capet to the abuses of his power; take care that flatterers and those who excited you yesterday to plunder do not lead you to the loss of your sovereignty by injustice and misery.
To proceed. It has been said, that a treaty is not an act of legislation but an act of government.—This proposition has been demonstrated by the author of the social contract, by that immortal man whose political maxims and principle of morality will render his remembrance dear to all true friends of liberty and virtue in spite of his detractors. Therefore in a democracy of such an extent as this is, where the people are forced to delegate even the exercise of their legislative power upon a numerous assembly, this assembly, is herself forced to delegate the exercise of the executive part of government, whether it be upon a distinct corps as it ought to be agreeable to the constitution or upon a portion of her members, as it happens in the present provisional government; and in one and the other government, the want of secrecy has been equally perceived, and in several circumstances admitted. The question is now reduced to know whether in this particular circumstance there is necessity to admit it;—and in my opinion this has already been proved.
I return again to the fear of giving to the committee powers they might abuse.—This objection was already answered by remarking that the members are removable and can only exercise their powers during a short period; and besides that the question was not of a whole treaty but only of some secret articles the publicity of which cannot be delayed for a long space of time: this publicity which is near at hand is sufficient to curb the inconsiderate or bad intentions of a member, who has no longer any hopes of perpetuating his power.
The comparison drawn from ancient Republics was also well refuted. Let us only compare what bears an affinity together. The sovereignty was once concurred in a single city and the government not representative, there existed not then as now a days a great number of depots forming coalitions for maintaining something in their language call equilibrium & deliberating secrecy, besides were the ancients to be hurried on by business as the people of Europe? Had they like in modern times an immense commerce, the result of the discovery of both Indies, their relations infinitely diversified and consequently their interests, their passions, their wants; I repeat it, neither the governments nor the times, nor the places, nor perhaps the men resemble those of the present age.
I now come to the last observation. It has been said, that the constitution did not allow of secret treaties; I reply that, I consider as one of the most pressing objects, the completion of organic laws, to ensure the execution thereof; and certainly it is not I who wished that at the moment of its birth it should descend into the tomb; but the fact is, it is not even yet in motion; you are still a Convention and not merely a legislative body; and I repeat it; you can and you ought to seize every reasonable and just means to establish a definitive government. It was permitted to take extra-constitutional measures in order to make the people feel all the horrors of tyranny and should the same not be allowed for legal purposes? when it is indispensable to encourage agriculture, revive abundance, pour a precious balm on all our wounds, and accelerate the moment where happiness and joy will replace the gloomy image of our sufferings and disasters, should such measures not be more legal when duty calls upon us to offer comfort to humanity and endeavour to lead all nations towards liberty: Not by force; it makes only slaves, but by the example of our prosperity.
Citizens, I am convinced of the purity of the intentions of my colleagues, as they ought to be convinced of the purity of my sentiments; but let us not confide in foreign suggestions; let us respect the men who, constantly attached to the principles of liberty, are solely occupied with ensuring their establishment and solidity; but we ought to guard against those political mountebanks, who peep unceasingly of the sovereignty of the people for no other reason but to drive, by means of adulation, the multitude, as they please, but without possessing a desire or the means of assuring to the nation the exercise of liberty by wisely combined laws.
A man worthy to serve the cause of the people, is he who according to the expression of an ancient author, marches with firmness in the path of justice, and cannot
be frightened from his road either by the menaces of an armed multitude, or by the fury of a deluded multitude; a man worthy to serve the cause of liberty is "he who is determined not to bend under any yoke, be it tarnished by a royal livery, or perfidiously adorned with popular colours;" to such a man alone it belongs to speak of the sacred rights of the people, because he alone possesses an upright heart, and the elevated soul of a freeman, which constitutes virtue.
I conclude with proposing the admission of secret articles, without however, admitting a commission.
I demand that the committee alone be judge of the articles—the non-publicity of which cannot be prejudicial to the republic, or if that proposition is not admitted, the committee of legislation be given as assistants to that of public safety.
The speeches of Audouin, and Larevellière-Lapeau, were frequently applauded, and the convention ordered them to be printed.
[We have not the MONITEUR of the 20th, which must contain a decision of that important question discussed by Audouin and Larevellière.]

BOSTON, May 23. CANALS AND BRIDGES.
We are happy to hear that the Middlesex Canal is prosecuting with the most promising activity. Upwards of an hundred hands, we learn, are in constant employment thereon.
Mr. Blodgett's Canal in New Hampshire, we understand, is nearly finished.
Mr. Palmer, the artist who has distinguished his talents in constructing the bridges lately erected over the rivers Merrimack, in this state, and Piscataqua, in New-Hampshire, has contracted to build a bridge over the Patowmack, in the state of Maryland. By the act of incorporation, the toll is to be vested in the proprietors forever. Subscription books are opened at Georgetown, by William Deakens, jun. James M. Lingan, and Uriah Forrest, Esquires. To those who know the profits accruing from Bridge property, this seems to present a favorable opportunity for speculation.
COMMUNICATIONS.
Many people are greatly affected at the recent accounts from the interior of France; but a politician will consider them as matters perfectly of course; and will not hesitate to say, that the leading people of that country have not yet put their foot on the threshold of the Temple of real Liberty. What can we think of the execution of Barrere and Herbois, which, notwithstanding the accounts from England, appears to be true? The system of moderation ought to have been marked with events less terrible, to say the least; and should it be persisted in, we shall not be surprised if the Jacobins have another day; for should the armies turn politicians, they will not tranquilly see the grand projector of all their victories and triumphs sacrificed to gratify the spleen of envious rivals. One great, sharp crisis, yet awaits France. May a better genius than now appears to guide them, soon take the lead, and conduct them into the paths of Peace, Liberty, and Safety.
Mr. Ruffel,
AS the Soap-Boilers in Boston, and its vicinity, are much in the practice of making Rozin from Turpentine, it may be of service to publish the following singular circumstance, which took place a few days since, viz. That after baling the Rozin out of the kettle, in which it was made, the chips, which as usual were left in the bottom, were put into a basket for the purpose of draining from them what Rozin remained—and after remaining in that situation for about seven hours, they took fire, without having any communicated to them after they were taken out of the kettle; and had not the precaution been taken to remove them at a distance from any building, the consequence would in all probability have been destructive.

WHITESTOWN, May 20.
Emigrations to the Westward, the present Spring, have exceeded the most sanguine expectations of every individual. Within this week past we have been visited by A. Hamilton, Esquire, late Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, General Floyd, and many other eminent citizens. Foreigners of immense fortunes crowd on in great numbers. Land speculators are everywhere to be found, and the number of honest husbandmen who are moving westward exceed all calculation. It is said, that upon a moderate calculation the number of boats which have passed Old Fort-Schuyler, with families moving to the Westward, for several weeks past, average at from fifteen to twenty boats in a day. The great influx of inhabitants has greatly raised the price of lands; those which sold for twelve shillings eight months ago, are now selling at from twenty-four to thirty shillings. Should the prospect of peace, which is now dawning upon the United States, prove auspicious, these western counties will shortly become as populous as the "Connecticut Hive;" and the state of New-York be the most numerous of the whole fifteen!
BALTIMORE, May 26.
Archibald Campbell, Esquire, is appointed President of the Baltimore Office of Discount and Deposit, vice George Gale, Esquire, resigned.
In the sitting of the 20th of February, the Convention ordered, that all monuments erected during the reign of Robespierre, to celebrate his sanguinary triumphs, be destroyed; amongst which was a colossal figure, placed before the Hotel of the Invalids, representing the Genius of Individuality crushing the Monster of Federalism.—All the Mountains and Monticules are also to be laid low. "What is a Mountain," exclaimed a deputy, "but an eternal protest against equality."
PHILADELPHIA, May 28.
On the 26th instant died, and in the evening of the 28th was buried, in the family Vault in Christ Church Yard, Mr. Daniel Rundle of this city, Merchant, aged 70: For many of his last years he was afflicted with a lingering disease, under which he supported himself with fortitude, and met his dissolution with calm resignation.
Mr. Rundle, as a merchant, was eminent for his industry, knowledge and probity: The estimation in which he was held, as a man and a citizen, was pleasingly testified by the number and great respectability of those of his fellow-citizens who attended his remains to the grave.
DIED, Mr. WILLIAM SHED, who for forty years past was Crier of the Court in this City.
The amusement at the Theatre This Evening will be appropriated to the benefit of Mr. MORRIS.—The exertions of this veteran of the stage, both of late and many years since are recollected by a number of individuals inhabitants of Philadelphia, and they acknowledge with pleasure their sensations of the applause excited by his merit, and justly afforded him; it is therefore a well-founded presumption that the encouragement of a liberal and discerning audience will reward the talents of this Pennsylvanian Booth—date obolum. HONORIUS.
Further Proceedings of the Circuit Court of the United States, now sitting.
On Saturday last, the 23d inst. John Etienne Guenet, a native of France, and citizen of the United States, was tried on a charge of being knowingly concerned in furnishing, fitting out, and arming a ship called the Les Jumeaux, with an intention that she should cruise and commit hostilities on the subjects of foreign powers in amity with the United States.
It appeared in evidence, that the ship Les Jumeaux had come into the port of Philadelphia with a cargo, as a merchantman, had been armed and fitted out for hostile purposes, and notwithstanding the vigilant measures taken by the officers of government, the parties concerned, by promising and appearing to comply with the measures directed, (which were conformable to those in the case of the Jane, a British ship, in 1793) and by secret and nocturnal supplies, had effected their design.
The agency of the defendant being clearly proved, he was, after an ingenious defence by his counsel, convicted of the misdemeanor.
Yesterday he received his sentence, which was, to pay a fine of 400 dollars, and to stand committed for the term of 12 calendar months.
On Monday John Mitchell was put to the bar, and after a trial of eleven hours, was convicted of treason committed in the county of Allegheny.
The ship Merchant, Fitzgerald, is arrived at Portland, (Maine) from Liverpool.
Extract from the American Telegraph, published in Newfield, Connecticut.
Messrs. Printers, "A gentleman of undoubted veracity di-
rectly from New-York, informed me, that a few days ago, the democrats of that place, went to the Coffee-House, and after having made diligent search for one or two British officers, who were fortunate enough to elude their pursuers, broke open their trunks, and cut to pieces with their favours the regimentals of the said officers. Now what would we say if an American officer in England was to be treated with such indignity? Would we forbear on such an occasion to load the English with the most opprobrious names & horrid imprecations? And yet shall we do that to others, which we would not wish them to do to us? Quite different was the conduct of a British Major in that very city before the evacuation. He seeing an American officer (who both you and I are acquainted with) insulted from the galleries, instantly menaced the rabble with a promise to throw them out of it, if they did not immediately desist.
Why did not the police of New-York afford protection to officers of a nation, whose friendship the general or united administration of this country, seems sedulous to cultivate?—Will the corporation plead, that they knew not of it; or knowing it, they had not power to do it? Unsecure to dwell in that country, where a man's life and property is not safe from the brutal attacks of daring ruffians!—Feeble indeed is that executive, who does not possess power and energy sufficient to crush the lawless insolence of a few democrats! Conscious I am, that every virtuous American will blush for shame, and be filled with indignation, who either heareth or readeth of this diabolical attack on a few defenceless men!"
For the Gazette of the United States. ON MR. MORRIS'S BENEFIT.
SEE, bent beneath accumulated years, The hoary Veteran of the Stage appears; In spite of Pain, in trembling Age's spite, He brings a Toy to pleasure you to night. Surviv'd the Wreck of early Friends he lost, Still on the waves of anxious Being tost, Oh! let a Ray of your mild Pity shed, Perhaps its last—Effusions on his head!
Grown with your growth, his Features still may tell, What former Joys your early Life befell. To other Monuments of changeful Fate, Let him not add his own neglected date; But Time's injurious ravages atone, And crown the Veteran's fortunes by your own. S.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market Street,
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs. Rowson of the New Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Reviews , April 1795, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- ticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the in- constancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and af- fecting—the descriptions natural and pas- sionate; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.”

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. “The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whomsoever the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Eng- lish wings, and execrate every criminal act by which to oblige a cause endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political decep- tion, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.”
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

This Lottery will afford an elegant speci- men of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful de- signs 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 neces- sary expenses of printing, &c. and the sur- plus 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 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 settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by ap- pointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a se- cond time on behalf of the public; a suffi- cient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National Uni- versity and the other federal objects may con- tinue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a se- lection of the best materials, ancient and mod- ern, will be submitted to the public when- ever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future ex- istence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Eu- rope, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

Treasury Department Revenue Office, April 14, 1795 PROPOSALS
Will be received at the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue, For Building a LIGHT HOUSE,
On Seguin Island, near the mouth of Kenne- beck river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Di- mensions and Description.
THE form is to be an Octagon. The foun- dation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if prac- ticable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half be- low the surface of the earth, and to be com- menced of the diameter of twenty seven feet.
It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wood- en work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six in- ches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the same to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expenses of materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well fram- ed, and of its heart fine timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base, there- of where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen iron straps built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden build- ing from the bottom of the water table and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be capped with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the wa- ter.
The frame of the pyramid is to be cover- ed with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well pain- ted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two win- dows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, beded therein, planked over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole hav- ing a deflector from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron Lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or flanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These flanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches a- bove. The Lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the poles to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be moulded on the inside and struck solid. Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the sash on the fourth-wall is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters of the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel— thro' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be a pair of stairs ascend- ing to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank. The entrance into the light house is to be well se- cured by a strong lock hung upon hinges with a strong door and latch complete.
Also a frame Dwelling House of one story and the roof, to be twenty six feet or there- about in front, and twenty five feet deep, with a cellar, under it, if it shall be found practi- cable to dig it. The cellar walls to be eight- teen inches thick, and seven feet high. The story of the House to be seven feet and one half in clear height. The roof to have a dangu- lar pitch. The floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The House is to contain a Kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a sitting room adjoining lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by sixteen feet, and the ends of the Kitchen and sitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The stack of chimneys to be between the Kitchen and sit- ting room and is to have two plain fire places, one of them large for a kitchen; to which is to be joined an Oven. There is to be an out- er door to the passage and an outer door also to the Kitchen. There are to be two win- dows in each of the large rooms, and one in each bed room.
Each sash is to have twelve panes of glass eight by ten inches. Each window is to have a strong plain shutter, with fastenings and hinges. The doors are to be hung and furnish- ed completely. The ceiling and inner sides of the House are to be plastered with two coats. All the wood work inside and out is to be well painted, and the whole is to be finished in a plain and decent manner.
An oil vault is to be built twenty by twelve feet in the clear, arched over, and covered with earth or sand over which a shed is to be built—it is to be furnished with nine strong cedar cisterns, with co- vers, each capable of containing two hun- dred gallons.
The entrance to the vault is to be secur- ed by a strong door. A well is to be sunk at a convenient distance, and furnished with a curb, bucket and rope completely. The builder to find and pay for all the ma- terials, labor, workmanship, provisions, and other objects of cost, charge or ex- pence for a sum to be agreed upon and to execute the before described work and every part thereof in a good and workman- like manner.
Convenient payments or advances, on security, will be made. t&ctf
