DESERTED from the detachment of five hundred cavalry ordered from the state of New Jersey, a certain William Mackey a dragoon in Capt. Bulcarrick's troop of the Bergen Squadron (the said Mackey is about 33 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, round-shouldered, dark complexion and eyes, down look, dark curled hair, a scar upon his upper lip. For the honor of the Cavalry and credit of the state, I am bound to inform the public, that the above described deserter, is not a native of New Jersey, and that he could not, after making repeated trials induce a single man to follow his example, in basely and cowardly deserting the Standard of Freedom. All good citizens are therefore cautioned against harboring or harbouring a man, and all the Dragoons of the Brigade are requested to use their exertions in having him apprehended and secured, that he may receive a punishment equal to the disgrace he has attempted to bring on the Cavalry of New Jersey.

For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. FENNO,
I think it is an article of the Constitution of this state, that the Representatives of the People shall be of the most noted for wisdom and virtue;—as the Democratic Society undertakes to represent the people and from their attention to guard against violations of the Constitution, must have been particularly careful in this respect, I cannot but regret that their names are concealed; were they known, that society might form a pretty nursery for the Assembly, to which some of them might be transplanted next month. It is not an easy thing now, to find men of note, for wisdom, and virtue; and hence it would not be surprising if some improper persons should get into the House; but if we know the names of this band of Patriots, we should have nothing to do but to select the most wise of the wise, the most virtuous of the virtuous, and elect them to the seats of government. The character of the Society, we may suppose, would derive Eclat from a disclosure of their names; because if men were known to belong to that Society, their wisdom and their virtue would be taken for granted: whereas now, sad things are reported of some who are said to belong to it; such as, that one of them (who wants an office too, and is canvassing for it) is violently opposed to the measures taken for quelling the insurrection of the western whisky drinkers; and that another has been so unruly that he has lately been bound over to prevent his breaking the peace; now if the wisdom and virtue of these men were as conspicuous to the Society as a Sugar-Baker's mountain would be to the world, and had the same stability, how can it be expected that they should fare better than their neighbors in similar circumstances; but would it not be otherwise were their names known to be enrolled in the list of the wise and virtuous? I therefore recommend an immediate publication of a list of the members.

THE CORDWAINER.—No. 4.
I FIND it to be such rare sport to write for the instruction of mankind, that I don't know when I shall be willing to stop my hand. This being an author, as they call it, is a bewitching thing. I profess, since I have commenced one, my lap-stone has grown heavier, by five pounds, and my hammer hurts my knee. If I could write like Mr. Paine, however, and know every thing, as he does, I have been thinking what I would do, I would tell the world all that could do it any good (and God knows, there is room enough for it to mend) and the rest I would keep to myself. I have just had a peep at Mr. Paine's "Age of Reason," in which, to polish off his reputation as a mighty genius, he has aimed a terrible blow at our Religion. "Let us down with all their old musty whims," Mr. Paine seems to say, "They smell too strong of monarchy." You know his way; he is for taking an entire new start in every thing, and for giving a bold lead; rather than not be pretty well ahead, he would drive headlong over his own father and mother. Now I have been thinking, if I were Mr. Paine, thinks I, "My uncommon abilities enable me to be of the most important service to mankind, by illuminating from my pen, and ignorance and error are sufficiently in need; I will enlighten them in such things as will tend to make them better and happier, and will forbear to lead them into unprofitable speculations. Suppose I knew that, notwithstanding the appearance, the great seeming fountain of light which we call the sun, was in fact no sun, but a mere creature of the imagination, what advantage, "thinks I, would it be to the world, if I should ever convince a great part of mankind that they were deceived? it is now universally believed to be a real sun; it answers all the valuable purposes of a good substantial sun, and while that is the case, why, in the name of common sense, shall not honest people be suffered to jog on in the old road, to walk about by the light of it, and to dry their wet clothes, cure their ills, and make their hay by the heat of it, as usual? whereas, when once they were convinced it was a mere phantom, they would be cautious of trusting to its beams, and we should see honest, well meaning people, dodging about at noon day, with lanterns and torches in their hands." I might, perhaps, if I were Mr. Paine, be able to prove that the moon
was made of green cheese. Well, what then? Let it have been made of green cheese, or old cheese, or an old brass shield, or a giant's head, what matter is it to the world, so long as it answers the end for which it was designed, and affords us light sufficient to feed our hogs, and milk our cows by, when they come home late of an evening?
Here, my dear readers, you see the modest timidity of a virgin author; one who has not yet adventured upon the novel, the marvellous and the sublime, and knows not yet the mighty impulse of their charms.—Ah, Ned Nipper! Ned Nipper! who knowest but thou shalt yet, in some future stage of thy beloved authorship, employ thy more experienced pen in endeavoring to induce mankind to discern their senses; in proving that the sun is a meteor, and the moon a mushroom; in attempting to circumcribe the Omnipotent; in blackguarding his prophets, and in throwing obloquy and contempt in the face of Jesus Christ!

NETHERLANDS. PROCLAMATION
Equality, Liberty, Fraternity, or Death!
Richard and Chodieu, Representatives of the People with the Armies of the North, in order to secure to the inhabitants of the conquered countries their tranquility, safety and property, and to prevent all enterprises in those countries which may be hostile to the interests of the French Republic, decree as follows.
Article 1. All the inhabitants of the conquered Belgian Provinces under the special protection of the French Republic are charged not to favour, directly or indirectly the arms of the Combined powers.
2. All those who shall be convicted of correspondence with the enemy, either by act, conspiracy, or discourse, to the injury of the French people shall be given up to the Revolutionary Tribunal of France, and dealt with according to law.
3. Every individual now domiciliated in the conquered countries, who has quitted France in consequence of the laws of the Republic, is ordered to depart in twenty-four hours under pain of being treated as a French Emigrant.
4. The Military Commanders are enjoined to take vigorous measures for the preservation of order and tranquillity in the conquered places, and to prevent any violence to the safety or property of the inhabitants, under any pretext whatever. The freedom of worship must be respected.
5. The Magistrates of the conquered towns and communes are enjoined, on their responsibility, to comply with the requisitions made by the Commissaries of War, for the service of the Republic, within the time prescribed. In case of disobedience, they will be treated as enemies to the Republic.
6. All Magistrates that shall be found favoring, or exciting, by their private or public conduct, or by discourses against the French Revolution, any commotions against the Republic, shall be given up to the Revolutionary Tribunals, and considered as enemies to the French People.
7. The Police of the conquered places shall be administered by the Military Commandants, till it shall be otherwise ordained: they must use the most active vigilance to discover the plots, and prevent the designs of the enemies of the Republic: they must be careful to prevent any public or private assembling of the inhabitants, and shall employ the military force to disperse them.
8. The inhabitants of the conquered countries shall resign their arms into the hands of the military Commandants within the space of twenty-four hours after the publication of the present order. Those convicted of secreting them shall be given up to the military commission, and punished with death.
9. Assignats shall be received at all the public banks, and in all commercial transactions: those who shall refuse, deny, or forge, and those who shall circulate false ones, are to be given up to the Criminal Tribunal of the Department of Pas du Calais, and punished conformably to the laws of the Republic upon that head.
10. To prevent the disaffected from raising the price of merchandise and wares of the country, on account of the introduction of assignats, the maximum established in the city of Lille shall be adopted in all the conquered countries of West Flanders.
11. The imposts and other duties established in the conquered countries,
under whatever denomination they may exist, shall continue to be received for the use of the Republic.
12. The soldiers of the Republic shall observe the strictest discipline in the conquered countries, and refuse by their conduct the calumnies of their enemies. The commanders of Corps and the Generals shall cause to be given up all those who commit disorders, the effect of which would be to favour the designs of the enemy.
Done at Lille, 4th Messidor, in the second year of the Republic one and indivisible.

PARIS, June 29.
Among the 29 persons guillotined on the 27th ult. were the Marshal de Mouchy, 79 years old, who, during the last months preceding the revolution of the 10th of August, had never quitted the tyrant; the Duchess of Biron, 71 years old; the widow of General Biron, who was executed a few months ago; the brother of the ex-miguitier St. Priest; and the ex-constituent victor Bioglio, son of the Marshal of that name.
HAGUE, July 9.
"On Sunday last an extraordinary meeting of the Council of State was called. The Stadtholder attended both this and another held on Monday; on which day he went also to the meeting of the States General.
"The approach of the French army to our Frontiers calls for extraordinary measures, and orders were given in consequence. The environs of Bois-le-Duc are to be inundated; the inhabitants have been directed to get in their harvest and provide themselves with provisions as soon as possible; as have also the inhabitants of Bergen-op-Zoom and Maastricht, from which all strangers are ordered to withdraw.
"According to advices from Zealand, Sluys in Flanders is besieged, and a body of the enemy has advanced to the Sas-de-Grand.
"With respect to the action near Brussels on the 6th, in which the Dutch troops had a principal share, we are informed that the French were twice repulsed; but that they returned to the charge a third time; and that the Allies were under the necessity of retreating."
[The following is the truth respecting the affair mentioned in Rotterdam papers.]
MAESTRICHT, July 9.
"On Sunday morning, at two o'clock, the French attacked the whole line of the combined army from Gembloux to Waterloo. The cannonade was tremendous. According to a preliminary account from the Prince of Saxe Cobourg's head quarters, which I neither believe myself nor will you to believe, the French, after a most bloody battle, which lasted till nine at night, were obliged to retreat. Our left wing, commanded by Gen. Beaulieu, drove the enemy back three leagues; our centre, commanded by the Prince of Orange, maintained its ground; our right wing, commanded by the Prince of Cobourg in person, was obliged to retreat, but resumed its position in the evening. Of the enemy near 8,000 were killed, as many wounded, and 5,000 taken prisoners by General Beaulieu. Our loss computed at 9,000 killed and wounded; but we maintained all our posts before Brussels yesterday morning, and were sending off only baggage, sick and wounded. Such are the exaggerations with which we are constantly amused after every action while the consequences as constantly are retreat from post to post with haste and confusion, only short of absolute flight.
"It was, we are told, by the Emperor's express orders communicated to the Prince of Cobourg, by Count Metternich, that the Combined Armies were to evacuate the Netherlands, as soon as Ypres and Charleroi, were taken by the enemy. Every body says, and there are strong grounds for believing, that it was a thing agreed upon between the Emperor and the French Committee of Public Safety. Count Metternich does not seem to deny that it was; but how can such an arrangement be reconciled with the bloody battle of Sunday last?
"It is rumoured that the Emperor, disgusted by the conduct of some of our Allies, and provoked by the obstinacy of the States of Brabant and Flanders, offered to the Republicans the evacuation of the Austrian Netherlands as the price of a separate peace, which they accepted."
LONDON, July 24.
In the sitting of the National Convention of the 19th ult. it was asserted by Barrere, that the Republic had at
present 1,200,000 combatants under arms. In a former sitting, viz. that of Jan. 15, 1793, Cambon announced, that at that period 600,000 men were fighting for the Republic.—Dumourier, however, demanded but 300,000 effective men to cover all the frontiers, and to carry on an offensive war in Flanders, but no more than 200,000 men could then be brought together, and the rest existed only in the decree which had created them.
The Emperor's farewell address to the Netherlands, will afford a good opportunity to future flowery historians of a most pathetic speech ending with "We congratulate you on having under our auspicious government, enjoyed every blessing that belongs to the nature of man and feel no regret at parting but that which arises from the loss we know you must thereby sustain &c. &c. &c."
FALMOUTH, July 14.
This day sailed for London, the Hannah and Molly, American ships, having on board cargoes of wine and brandy, with which they were bound from Bourdeaux to New-York; but putting into Kinsale for provisions, the Governor of that Fort, Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Browne, discovered that the cargoes were the property of the National Convention, and seized them as droits of Admiralty, and sent them to this port, where the marshal took possession of them, and they failed this day for the river, under convoy of the Viper cutter, Lieut. Peggely. The two cargoes are estimated at thirty thousand pounds.
It is to be hoped that the Admiralty will amply reward this active Veteran for his attention and service.

MR. RUSSELL,
By inserting in your Centinel, the following Cure for Putrid Fevers, you will, perhaps, render an essential service to your fellow-men. It appears in an English paper of June 23, 1794, in the following form:
REMEDY FOR PUTRID FEVERS. To the Printers of the Sherborne Mercury.
Gentlemen,
"As Putrid Fevers are frequently, (and especially at this time,) very prevalent in different parts of this kingdom, it were to be wished, that every person knew and attended to the following fact, viz. That YEAST or BARM, to the quantity of three or four spoons-full hath been exhibited in Putrid cases, with the most singular success, so that patients, in the extremity of this very contagious and most fatal disease, have been seen almost instantly, to have recovered from a dying state, to perfect safety.
"N. B. This simple but very efficacious remedy, hath been recently discovered and applied, by a very benevolent and worthy clergyman, the Rev. Edward Cartwright; and it is to be hoped that the gentlemen of the faculty, and those of the clergy, who have frequent access to the sick, will neither despise, or neglect such an invaluable discovery. Probably it will be expedient to use a little warm water to wash the Yeast down the patients throat; and to administer at the intermediate hours, and as useful auxiliaries a few of the customary and most efficacious antiphlogistic cordials and draughts.
"The substance of this paragraph, is extracted from the 302d page of the Monthly Review, for March 1794, and is now presented for public inspection and the relief of the afflicted, by
PHILANTHROPOS.
"Bridport, June 19, 1794."
It is well known that the nature of yeast, tends forcibly to expel from bodies into which it is injected all filth and putridity; and that it is also used with success, in poultices externally applied to wounds which are in danger of mortifying.
The above was thought by the Monthly Reviewers in England as meriting their attention.
FREDERICK-TOWN, Sep 11.
From a Correspondent.
On Saturday the 6th inst. a meeting of such of the inhabitants as are exempt by law from militia duty, was held at the court-house, Thomas Johnson, Esq. in the chair, to consider of the steps necessary to be taken to quiet the present alarm, occasioned by the insurgents. Besides the militia guards on duty, it was unanimously agreed that a company should be formed of persons thus exempt, to serve as guards at this place, whenever it may be necessary to act in support of the constitutional civil authority, or to repel any as-

except that may be made to disturb the peace of the town or neighborhood. It was further resolved, that as soon as fifty should enrol themselves, a meeting should be held to choose the proper officers to command the company: and on the same day fifty-one were enrolled, but the evening being then too far advanced to complete the business, they adjourned till Monday, eleven o'clock, when General Johnson was unanimously chosen capt. col Price lieut. and major Miller ensign. The company is now near 60 strong, and their first meeting is to be on Monday next, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when they will draw arms, and enter into such regulations as may be deemed necessary to give efficiency to the patriotic institution.
On Saturday evening information was received that the emissaries of the western anti-federal insurgents had been busy in stirring up a number of the people, near the Kittatiny mountain, in this county, to oppose the government, and that they were about to give a proof of their future intentions by planting Anarchy Poles in several places—a part of the Federick Town battalion, with the troop of horse, marched, in pursuit of them, on Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock. From information received the preceding evening, and that morning it was supposed the detachment would be attacked, either at Middle-town or three miles west of that place, where Poles were erected with flags flying, guarded by riflemen; but before the troops reached either place, those valiant heroes, who had " Liberty or Death " on each of their flags, thought proper to fly. The Poles were demolished by troops, and pains were taken to undeceive the inhabitants of the neighborhood, who had been taught to believe that every article of husbandry, as well as their grain, was to be excised. The bloody flags were stripped from their Anarchy poles and brought to this town the same evening, and publicly burnt under the pillory , which gave great pleasure to the inhabitants of the town.
On Monday the Sheriff, attended by detachments of the troops, went in search of the leaders of those polemists, and caught one of them—another finding he could not escape, surrendered, and entered into recognizance. They, according to the established rule among fractors, when detected, pled ignorance, and promised to use their exertions to prevail on all their followers to surrender themselves to the civil authority this day. It is remarkable that the most of them are of the non-juring tribe! How nearly do the opposite extremes of torvism & anarchy approach each other! are they not twin brothers? It is said the Anarchy poles , lately set up, in Hager's Town, and other parts of Washington county, are suffered to remain, and that no efforts has been made by the militia to destroy them, or to suppress the frequent meetings of seditious armed men.—It is to be hoped it will shortly be otherwise. C.
PHILADELPHIA,
SEPTEMBER 22.
Extract of a letter from New-York.
"By accounts through the English garrisons on the Lakes, we are informed, that General Wayne defeated the Indians on the 20th of August, with uncommon slaughter. The scene of action is said to have been upon the Miami, and the Indians, say these accounts, left 300 on the field.
"It is added, that the British post at the Rapids of the Miami had been abandoned, and another position taken.
"This new position, which is commanded by Major Campbell, with three companies, I understand is higher up the Miami, and in the neighborhood of the field of Wayne's victory. It seems that immediately after the action, Wayne summoned Campbell to evacuate his post, which was refused. Gen. Wayne soon after changed his position and disappeared—This circumstance is attributed to his being in want of provisions. From an apprehension that his army is going against Detroit, that post has been strengthened by a considerable body of militia—at least this cause is assigned for an augmentation of the garrison of Detroit.
"Several British subjects (said to be Canadians) were left wounded among the Indians, and my information states that Wayne hung two of them."
"We are assured that General Wayne, had previously to his march, adopted the most effectual means of securing supplies of provisions; so that his intention, when he suddenly disappeared, after the summons to Campbell, was probably to make an attack upon another quarter."
"The General's dispatches are hourly expected."
"We are authorized to say, that it has been agreed between Mr. Jay and Lord Grenville, that during the present negotiation and until the conclusion of it, all things shall remain and be preserved in statu quo; that therefore both parties shall continue to hold their possessions, and that all hostile encroachments on either side should be done away; that all hostile measures (if any such should have taken place) shall cease; and that, in case it should unfortunately have happened, that prisoners or pro-
perty should have been taken, the prisoners shall be released and the property restored; and that both governments shall immediately give orders and instructions accordingly. Arrangements have been accordingly taken on both sides. Philad. Gaz."
The latest European accounts are by the Ann and Francis, Capt. Reid, arrived at New-York, which brought London papers to the 25th July—no later dates have been received—A short abstract of the News may serve to convey more definite ideas of affairs in that quarter than can readily be collected from the unavoidable jumble of paragraphs, conjectures and facts, which has been published.
In FLANDERS it may be said that the French have literally carried every thing before them—Valenciennes, Quesnoy & Conde were almost the only places not in their possession—Sluys on the borders of Holland was besieged by them, and every moment indicated an intention to penetrate into that country—As to the allied armies it does not appear that they are in sufficient force in one particular spot, to make head against the French; indeed RETREAT was the order of the day. The British ministerial accounts are very few, many severe battles had been fought, according to the Continental papers, no accounts of which are published in the London Gazette—The details that are given, are short and disastrous—as to Cobourg, Clairfait, Hohenlohe, Beaulieu and the Duke of York it cannot be determined where, either they or their armies are—Earl Moira is brought forward, and appears to occupy the most conspicuous place in the whole picture—but he is also on the scout—In short the "accidental" incidents of the campaign, have turned out a most systematic business—for these incidents have cost the allies all Flanders, and about half a dozen Armies.
The British minister is determined on prosecuting the war—indeed it is very generally supposed that no other alternative is left—for the Committee of Safety of France threaten to annihilate the Government and the nation—it cannot therefore be supposed that they will make peace.
As a compensation for all their losses the present campaign—the King of England is made King of Corsica, and Earl Howe has taken six French ships of the line, and sunk one—these acquisitions have cost about 20 millions sterling and about forty thousand men.
On Thursday the 11th instant the people assembled for the purpose of deciding on the Commissioner's proposals. In Alleghany county the meetings were in election districts, which are five in number. In the Pittsburgh district the business was conducted and terminated in harmony. The town had not above 12 or 15 dissentients, and the people from the country were open and firm in their determination to support the laws, although they declared that they signed the paper at the risk of their property.—There were in this district about 500 subscribers, and, though not a majority of the whole district, they were a great majority of those who voted.—In the district of the Forks of Yough a motion was made that every one should be at liberty to speak his mind freely, without danger of having his property burnt for so doing—but this motion was over-ruled, and on putting the motion for submission the majority was for war. The parties then separated, with mutual threats, but without any signing the declaration, or doing any thing further. In Reed's district the business began peaceably, but towards evening a tumult arose—the paper, which had been signed by some, was demanded; and the event was not fully known. In the lower district it was expected there would be no voting, as a party had surrounded the house of Samuel Wilson, one of the last committee, and had taken from him all the papers, and which he had undertaken to distribute.—From the other district no accounts were received; but such were still the apprehensions in that county that an association, for mutual defence, had been entered into by those who agreed to submit. In Westmoreland county, where they voted in townships, there was a great diversity of opinions, in some a large and firm majority for submission; in others the minority overawed the majority. In Mr. Findley's township there was great violence, and the papers were torn after the signing began. Mr. Porter, a Presbyterian clergyman, by his firm and decisive conduct in the pulpit, was the happy means of inducing almost all his congregation to subscribe. At Greensburg the majority declared they were for peace, but when they were called upon to give explicit assurances
of it by subscribing, only 80 out of 300 ventured to put their names to the paper—and after night there was some disturbance and symptoms of a design to punish those who had signed.
From Washington no certain accounts have arrived, but it is said that in it a more favorable disposition has been discovered than from its former violence could have been expected, but there is still a violent party there—and it appears that some armed bodies were to be sent out to intercept the returns which are directed to be made to Mr. Ross, one of the commissioners, at Union-Town, and if they should fail in that, to arrest Mr. Ross and oblige him to deliver them up.
We have not yet been able to collect any information of what passed in Fayette, nor in that part of Bedford which is west of the mountains. Phil. Gaz.
Fame has an hundred Tongues.
We are informed the harvest in France is abundant, and all the grain is put in a state of requisition. Every man is obliged under a severe penalty to give an exact account of all his grain, and any surplus he may have beyond what is deemed by the Commissioners necessary for his own consumption is to be reserved for the use of the Republic.

From Copenhagen, July 24.
Yesterday arrived the noted brig Joseph, Capt. Webber, in 52 days from Copenhagen. She has performed her voyage from Bthon and back in ninety-six days! By her we learn that the Danes have sent an Extra Envoy, to the Court of St. James's, to demand categorically whether they do or do not intend restitution for the property taken from them during the present war. The Swedes and Danes have a combined fleet of 20 odd sail of the line ready for sea.
From Lisbon, August 7.
The Schooner Debouair, arrived on Sunday evening from Lisbon. The Capt. mentions, that advice was received there, tho' he will not say it was authentic, that a French fleet of 7 sail of the line, had an engagement in the Mediterranean with 9 English ships of the Line, in which the former were victors, having taken 3 British ships.
Natives of Algiers.
On Saturday last arrived in town in the Eastern Stage from Newbury-Port, two natives of Algiers, who arrived there a short time since from Holland. They are men of a large size and dressed in the Turkish habiliments. They yesterday waited on his Excellency the Governor. We are informed, their stay will be short in town, as they contemplate a tour through the continent.
LEGHORN, June 14.
The capitulation of Bastia being now fully accomplished, Admiral Hood sails on the 7th inst. with his whole fleet for Calvi, in order to undertake the siege of that town.
The late French Governor of Bastia, Citizen Gentili, has set out for Toulon, by the way of Genoa.
Letters from Barcelona state, that the inhabitants of that town are greatly alarmed on account of the progress of the Republicans by land, and because the French fleet which on the 6th inst. sailed from Toulon, is said to be designed against Barrie Genoa. June 18.
We learn from Corsica, that in the Gulf of St. Florence are safely arrived 40 British transports with ammunition, provisions, 4000 land troops, and a considerable sum of money destined for the payment of the army and navy on that station. They were under convoy of a line of battle ship of 74 guns and two frigates.
TURIN, June 7.
On the 4th instant, the Chevalier de St. Amour, was shot to death in pursuance of the sentence, which declared him attainted and convicted of having traitorously surrendered to the enemy the important fortress of Saorgio.
This fortress, situated on a height of the most difficult access, in strength almost impregnable; not one of its works was damaged: the garrison had sustained no loss, and the Austrian officers belonging to it declared that there existed not the least reason for its surrender. Government had ordered him to defend the place to the utmost extremity. The Chevalier de St. Amour was a native of Savoy, which exasperated the Piedmontese the more against him, who with the utmost concern saw the most important place in their whole country entrusted to foreigners, among whom a great number of traitors and cowards have been found.
Those who have had any share in the dastardly conduct of the Swiss regiment of Rocheman, are also published. The Commanding Colonel has been replaced by Mr. de Salis, a ci-devant officer in the Swiss guards of France. The Lieutenant-Colonel is under arrest and is to be tried by a Court Martial; the other guilty Officers
experience the same fate. The depositions of those that have been taken up on account of the conspiracy against our government, cause daily a great many more arrests. The execution of the chief criminals is shortly to take place.
LONDON, July, 8.
Extract of a letter from Warsaw, June 30.
"The critical situation of our enraged mob increased on the 27th inst. to the most alarming height. In the afternoon of that day our armed inhabitants had been exercising in the entrenchments, and returned at nine o'clock into the town. One part of them, drums beating and colours flying, marched to the town-house, before which they drew up on the parade. Hereupon one of the ringleaders, of the name of Konopka, harangued the multitude, and represented to them the unjustifiable conduct of the national council and the criminal tribunal which still protracting the trials of those offenders, who notoriously were guilty of high treason against the nation. The expence of keeping them, he added was very great; and it remained doubtful whether they would ever be punished at all, unless the people, making use of their undoubted right, punished themselves the traitors &c. This speech produced the desired effect, and the populace cried out, that they should not separate before they had erected a gallows and hanged the traitors. The gallows was immediately erected. The criminal tribunal had discharged some hundreds of persons that had been arrested; but against those who remained in prison no sentence had been pronounced."
"The President Zakrzewsky exerted his utmost efforts to persuade the mob at least to delay the execution, till the judgment passed, & ordered the gallows to be taken down; but the enraged multitude soon erected them again, and sacrificed to their fury the following eight persons: De Boscamp, Privy Councillor; De Grabowski; Majewsky, Attorney-General of the Crown; Rogusky and Pietka; Wulers, a Councillor and Member of the ci-devant Provisionary High Council; Prince Anthony Czertwinski and Prince Mniszek, the only male heir of that ancient family, and uncle of the Princess de Ligne, at Vienna. The exertions of the President Zakrzewsky prevailed: at least on the mob to respite the other prisoners whose number amounts to 169, and the populace dispersed without doing any more mischief."
Nothing can be so inveterate as the jealousy of the French nation towards this country. It exists under their pretended free government as strongly as under the despotism which disgraced them before; it shows itself in every political motion of their rulers, and pervades every part of the globe; it has penetrated to Pekin, in China, and wholly frustrated the object of Lord Macartney's mission to that country. Letters are received this day from Canton, dated the 13th of January last, brought by the Swedish Chinaman who has touched at Dover, which mention that all our hopes of success from Lord Macartney's embassy are cruelly disappointed; that an increased jealousy of Europeans, and perhaps of our nation in particular, seems to have possessed the court of Pekin at this period. The Emperor has turned a deaf ear to the application for an Island or factory to the northward, and the formation of a commercial treaty; so that all Lord Macartney's views & exertions have been confined to representations to the new vice Roy, for the prevention of abuses at Canton, and the redress of complaints. There is no doubt that all this misfortune arises from the villainous machinations of French emissaries, who thro' the channel of the Jesuits, or by their usual poisonous mode of corruption among the Mandarins, have swayed the mind of the Emperor, and probably on account of the recent successes of the British in India, have represented us as a dangerous people to be introduced to near connection with his subjects. Those who know the great abilities and address of Lord Macartney, must lament that they have been wasted upon the ignorance and jealousy of the Chinese Court, who seem resolved to discountenance all accession of knowledge, to the people, and every encroachment to the trade of the Empire.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.
This forenoon at 11 o'clock Major McPherson's battalion of volunteers, in full uniform, and completely equipped, marched from the State House on the expedition to the westward. An immense concourse of their fellow citizens were assembled on the occasion—on every countenance were impressed the most lively sentiments of fraternal affection, solicitude for a favorable issue to their patriotic enterprise, and their safe return to their families and friends.
The sacrifice made by this and other respectable corps of volunteers, of the domestic scenes of tranquility and peace, nothing can exceed, and never can be forgotten—at the moment of their departure, they were cordially saluted with three cheers, which were returned by the battalion.
The following are the officers of this battalion Wm. McPherson, major Comdt. Peter Baynton, and Thomas McEuen Captains.—Thomas Willing and John Mullen, first Lieutenants, James Davidson Jun. and Richard C. Jones, second lieut. Robert Heytham Adjutant. Casper W. Morris, Quarter Master.
The following account of the Jacobin Societies in France, is extracted from an eastern paper.
That the public may be informed relative to the French Jacobins, I would
observe, that there were no such Societies in France, until some time in the year 1789, when several members of the States General, belonging to Brittany met occasionally at Versailles, where the States General then sat. After they had transformed themselves into a National Assembly, and had removed to Paris, these members still continued meetings, and formed what is now called the Parent Society. Very soon, there were eight or ten thousand of these Societies formed in the various parts of the government, upon the same plan, on which the American Jacobins are endeavouring to form. They first took the title of Society de la Revolution, and afterwards that of Lovers of the Constitution, but they were finally called Jacobins, in consequence of the name of the place in which they met. Here the reader will observe, that these Societies had no existence when the States General was called together, and therefore had no previous influence in bringing about the revolution.
Now let us see what wonders they have wrought in France. Although, for two years they endeavored to reduce the National Convention, after it was formed, to their entire influence; yet they could not fully effect it till Sept. 1792, at which time, by the assistance of a large mob from the suburbs of Paris, they completely obtained their object, and thereby produced a second revolution; and they now became the inveterate enemies of the constitution, and proscribed every character who remained friendly to it; and here was now business enough for the guillotine, in taking off the heads of those whom the Jacobins proscribed; and in a very short time, thousands of the people were sacrificed, for no other crime, but that of being friends to that constitution, which the nation had established, and which they had taken a solemn oath to defend, both against external and internal enemies.
At this time it was that the Jacobins proscribed the Marquis Fayette.—And as this man is beloved in this country, as a peculiar friend to rational liberty; And as he is considered a man of discernment, and a friend to the French revolution; and one of the most active in producing it—I shall quote part of a letter which he sent to the Convention previous to his being proscribed.—His words are, "The Jacobin faction has produced all the disorder; it is that Society which I loudly accuse of it, organized like a separate empire, and blindly governed by some ambitious men; this Society forms a distinct corporation in the middle of the French nation, whose power it usurps, and whose representatives it subdues." These observations of the Marquis I find perfectly correspond with the facts, as related by Dr. Moore, who at the same time was in Paris, and constantly attended in the galleries of the Convention. Immediately after the letter was read in the Convention, containing the above remarks, the Jacobins voted, that any person who would murder Fayette should be rewarded therefor.
An express arrived in town this morning from the westward, and brought dispatches for the Secretary of State. They inform that Mr. Ross will be in town in a few days to meet the other Commissioners; when, a particular account of the issue of their mission may be expected. Part of the returns from the different townships has been received, from which it appears that the terms required by the Commissioners have not been generally complied with. The general returns made by those who superintended the meetings, do not give the assurances required that the submission in any of the counties is such that an office of inspection may be safely opened therein; and one of them expressly states, an opinion, that such a measure would not be safe.
Most of the men of property and influence in that quarter have determined to support the authority of government, and the violent and deluded people who are bent on further resistance, are left without any leaders of consequence.
We hear that the returns received from Washington, Westmoreland and Fayette—are general, these from Allegheny are from two Townships in one District only.

JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale at
Mathew Carey's Store, No. 118, Market Street. Price half a dollar, embellished with a striking likeness of Mr. Margarot,
The TRIAL OF Maurice Margarot, Before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for SEDITIONS PRACTICES.
"Of the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of crimi- nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal pe- culiar attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- est views and objects of the British conven- tion; and proves incontestibly, that judi- cial prosecutions (or persecutions) and de- cisions are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion ed attachment to the laws or the constitu- tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge, and in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first-rate abilities, as astonished the court and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment."
Lachawannock. A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Sellers on- ly, on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and nu- merous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country. The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with- out exception of one obstruction, naviga- ble to the Susquehannah. Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah. It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well water- ed meadow ground. The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance. Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the settlers. Roads are cut in different directions, to- wards the most convenient markets. The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement. The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city.
Another means of connection with Phil- adelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one mile square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians.
For further particulars apply to George Eddy. Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phil- adelphia, or this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. codam

Price nearly bound 75 cents.
Detested be the pen whose baseless influ- ence
Could to the youthful docile mind convey
Pericious precepts, tell loose tales,
And paint illicit passion in such colours,
As might mislead the unsusppecting heart,
And vitiate the young, unsifted judg- ment.
I would not for the riches of the East
Abuse the noblest gifts of Heaven thus,
Or sink my Genius to such prostitution.

C. W. PEALE. EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the in- terests of useful science, has on the sug- gestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, in- ventions, improvements, schemes, obser- vations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate.
Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications ano- nymous, or as their desire, C. W. Peale will infer their names, with the number or signature of their respective communica- tions in a private book which he will keep for that purpose.
The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may se- cure to inventors their just claims, and pre- vent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not en- titled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, once a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of dissemi- nating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and inven- tion, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.
