Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Sellers on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, navigable 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 watered 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, towards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the settlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the communication to the city.
Another means of connection with Philadelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own interest with that of the inhabitants, are disposed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one miles 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 Philadelphia, or to Thomas Eddy, at New York, relative to this business, will be duly answered.

Christiana Mills For Sale.
ON Monday the first day of September next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia will be sold by public vendue, two tracts or pieces of land situated in White Clay Creek hundred, New Castle county and state of Delaware; one of which contains about sixty acres of highly improved land, on it are a large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with stabling and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Patterson's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently situated for carrying the articles manufactured at the mills by water to Philadelphia. This property being close to the road leading from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at the head of the tide, with many other attendant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none. The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills. The terms upon which the above mentioned estates will be sold are one thousand pounds to be paid on executing the deeds, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder proportionally for each part. Indispensible titles will be made for the property, by JOHN NIXON. ALEX. FORRESTER. GEO. LATIMER. At same time and place will be sold a large BOAT, July 2

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 criminal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal perusal and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the latter views and objects of the British convention; and proves incontestibly, that judicial prosecutions (or persecutions) and decisions are now more the result of the present order of things, than any old fashioned attachment to the laws or the constitution. 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,' as he has justly and deservedly been called, who in the course of one of the longest trials we know of, unflinched even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional knowledge, 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 government."

COUNCIL GENERAL of the COMMUNES of PARIS.
Sitting of the 18th.
The young pupils of the country from the Section of MARAT presented themselves to the Council, when the President made the following address:
Citizen Magist. Attes. The republican youth of the Section of Marat, as a pledge of giving and following the example of respect for the laws and obedience to the constituted authorities; as a signalizing their homage, against the enemies of their country, and their implacable hatred of tyrants and kings, come to present to you the homage of their best exertions in the military art and discipline which alone renders citizens formidable.
If the love of our country alone creates the grand and unselfish the bud of all virtues, you see before you an inexhaustible nursery of Barra and Viola. Let an occasion present, and you will find them all imbued with those names already so endeared to the Republic. One thing is only wanting to their formation, they wish you to deem them worthy of deserving and of obtaining your approbation in this regenerated flame; to this republican dress; in fine, to the inscription which they are proud of wearing (Marat's company of pupils) and they hope to answer your expectations and those of the whole Republic. Applauded.
Answer of the President.
THE youth under a despotic government, received an education, which was only calculated to limit the mind, and to destroy the source of those energetic sentiments, which nature has engraven on the heart of man. Under the reign of liberty, the national Education should operate the development of all those civic virtues which have produced Catos, Brutus, Le Pelletiers, and Marats. You, young citizens, have adopted models worthy of you, there are Barra and Viola, young heroes to whom ancient Rome and Greece would have been proud to have given birth.
Young Citizens.
It is in you, your country has placed her hopes; you will maintain the great work of the French Revolution; you will prove yourselves worthy of those who have given you birth, and who have founded Liberty on the wrecks of tyranny.
An education truly Republican has been given you; you will prove yourselves worthy of receiving it; your zeal is a guarantee of those patriotic virtues, you will one day exercise, and which must secure the happiness of your country and yourselves. The Council sees you with pleasure in the midst of them, they applaud your sentiments, and invite you to their sitting.

BRUSSELS, June 22.
The army is to be disposed of differently, than was at first decided on. It was at last been obliged to yield to the enemy after a gallant resistance, and after the unsuccessful attempts of Elant to receive it. Nienport, was bombarded by the French; Bruges, Ostend and will be in haste invested and all West Flanders must be abandoned to its fate. The Hanoverian General Wathen is before Bruges. General Clairfait has still his head-quarters at Thielt but will soon pass the Scheldt, and form a cordon with the army of the Duke of York on this river, which will extend from Ghent to Conde and Valenciennes. Notwithstanding the French are driven so frequently across the Scheldt they always return and repeat their attacks, which cause excessive fatigue to our troops. The Prince Cobourg has meditated a grand attack against this part of the French army for this purpose he left Dornick on the 20th and has directed his march towards Brussels with 25000 men. Last evening his head quarters were at Ghent, and this night he will be at Ghent, not far from this. Every thing is in a state of preparation for a grand and bloody engagement. [From present accounts, which we have given in the General Advertiser it appears that he was defeated on the 21st day on which he attempted to relieve Charleroi.]
HAMBURG, June 30.
Letters from Osnabruck of the 21st inst. state, that every thing was at that time quiet, and that the garrison with
the fresh troops received from England consisted of 8000 men.
July 2.
General Clairfait has retired from Thielt to Ghent, where his head-quarters now are. The Scheldt is now the line where a stand will be made for the protection of the inner provinces. The French have 170,000 men in West Flanders.
July 4.
Narbonne formerly French Minister of War, Baron de Breteuil and several other Emigrants of distinction have arrived at the Hague.
FRANKFORT, June 24.
The report every day gains ground that a great part of the Prussian subsidiary troops will march to the Sambre.
VIENNA, June 21.
The Russian and Prussian plan of operations against Poland will be submitted to the Emperor and the declaration against Poland will then appear. La Fayette is to be removed from Spielberg to Brun.
On the 23d the French lost 160 men and several cannon: the Prussians have taken Parmelens. Indeed the allies are advancing in all quarters on the Rhine. Prince Hohenlohe has his head quarters at Edighofen. It is believed that in the course of a week a general attack would take place from Gemersheim to Saar Louis. It is thought that Gemersheim is in a better state of defence than even Landau.
OPERHEIM, June 25.
The Prussian main army under field-marshal Mollendorf has left their position at Kaiserlautern and advanced to the heights of Landstuhl, to unite with the different corps under Count Kalkreuth and Prince Hohenlohe. Major General Van Ruchel occupies the post of Trippstadt, and Lieutenant General Von Gleist is detached with the left wing to attempt the posts on the heights of Saukopf, and Sand. To prevent the enemy's gaining a knowledge of their force, Field Marshal Mollendorf has ordered them to be divided into small columns.
Head-Quarters of the King of Prussia, near Kielce, June 25.
The King's army arrived here yesterday morning, and encamped. The left wing is close to the city, and joins the right wing of the Russians. The Vanguard commanded by Major General Elner is about half a mile in advance, and about two miles distant from the enemy; to-morrow we shall reconnoitre their position.
M. Buckholtz has at last received a passport. He went off on the 23d with his family and all those belonging to the embassy; the Poles have given him a guard of an officer and 25 men to accompany him to the frontiers.
MADRID, May 27.
The Duke of Vanguyon, formerly ambassador at the court of Spain, and who since the revolution remained at Madrid has received orders to leave the kingdom with his family. The same orders have been received by the Duke of Havre who was general agent of the French princes.
The court of Madrid has given orders that all the men in Catalonia from 15 to 60 shall rise in arms to oppose the French who menace an invasion of Catalonia. The Commander in Chief Count de l'Union, lost all his furniture and above 1200 marks of plate, which all fell into the hands of the French.
WARSAW, June 23.
Kosciusko is said to be at Warca, 7 miles from this. The Poles have made a number of pontoons to throw a bridge over the Vistula, in case of necessity. Our fate will very shortly be determined.
A new cannon foundry is established here, which renders our prospects brighter. An order has been issued for a general rising in arms, to assist in defence of the country. A lady of Warsaw sent a number of shirts to the army. The General returned her a very polite answer, in which he assures her that he shall disregard personal fatigue and difficulties, provided his soldiers are furnished with every necessary. The cockade adopted by Poland and Lithuania united, are to be in future blue and green. Foreigners by applying to the Department of State find no difficulty in obtaining passports to leave the country in safety.
Polish Frontier, June 25.
Among the persons whom the Russians seized in Poland and have sent to
Smolentz to be tried by the new tribunal, is the Count of Oginski, late Ambassador from the court of Warsaw to the Hague, and the young Prince Sanguszko, who was in the Russian army and endeavored to persuade the regiment under his command to desert. From Petersburg we hear, that the property of Joseph Poniatowski nephew of the King of Poland, as well as that of all others who have taken part with the Patriots has been sequestered.
The Empress has given orders to the new tribunal at Smolentz not to condemn to death any criminal that may be brought before them, but inflict any other punishment they may deem proper.
Part of the garrison of Petersburg has been sent off to the fleet of transports about to sail.
Joseph Poniatowski, who arrived on the 25th of May to serve under Kosciusko has laid by his clothes of distinction and is habited as well as the commander in the common dress of the country.
It is certain that the Russians have successfully penetrated in the Province of Lithuania and driven the Poles before them.
The deputation of the citizens of Warsaw to Kosciusko have been sent back with the answer, that the demand of the citizens did not harmonize with his plan, as he was not willing to introduce the Jacobin principles into the kingdom; though the wishes of the citizens would always command great weight with him. The citizens returned satisfied with the answer.
COPENHAGEN, June 28.
The combined Danish and Swedish fleets are still in this road, but it is expected that they will soon proceed to Elsinore. Government has given orders to arm the following ships, viz. one of 80 guns, three of 74, one of 70, one of 64, one of 60, one frigate of 40 guns, one do. of 36, and one brig of 18 guns.
Five more line of battle ships are also to be armed in Sweden. If to these is added the Russian fleet in the Baltic, there will be 60 line of battle ships in said sea.
PARIS, June 24.
A new squadron of seven ships of the line, five frigates, two avisos, one zebec, and eight tartanes each of which carried two twenty four pounders failed from Toulon on the 6th of June. They soon discovered nine English ships, who did not pursue them but steered towards Corsica, in expectation of being joined by the grand English squadron; we are in momentary expectation of hearing something important.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
June 17.
GRAND NAVAL ACTION.
Letter from Prieur, of the Department of Marne, to the committee of public safety.
[No date is given to the letter in the Hamburg Gazette.]
Yesterday afternoon 19 of our ships of the line were discovered by their signals from Ushant. I went immediately to meet them and this morning at five o'clock arrived on board the Mountain. I found there our colleague Jean bon de St. Andre and the vice admiral Villaret. I went through the ship and found every where strong proofs of the bravery of the crew, and the violence of the attack made by the British. The carpenters told me, that above the water line of the ship 230 balls struck, besides those that struck below water and in the rigging and sails; this ship is one of those which suffered most; out of 18 officers only 5 were able to keep their posts till the end of the action. Our colleague St. Andre received a contusion in the hand from a splinter. He was on the quarter deck at the time the English admiral gave the first broad side and it is very wonderful that he was not shot into pieces. Besides this, many of the vessels were well fought, but some captains proved unworthy of the trust reposed in them; particularly, all accuse the commander of the ship of the line the Jacobin; he is displaced and under arrest; his conduct and that of several others will be examined by the revolutionary tribunal. I visited the brave sailors that were wounded; they are worthy of their brethren on the frontiers; like them, during the action, they rent the air with long live the Republic, like them they only regretted that they were no longer in a situation to remain at their post, and like them they burn to give their country new proofs of their heroism. According to the report of our colleague, who was an
eye witness to the affair, the admirals Villaret, Milly, and Bouvet have faithfully done their duty. It appears that Villaret during the action showed great calmness and bravery, and had it not been for the cowardice of those mentioned, instead of losing vessels we should have taken those that were dismasted belonging to the English. The fate of our seven vessels left on the scene of action gives us great uneasiness, but we hope that some will yet escape, as they may refit or be taken in tow by some frigates left near them. Three English ships, among whom was a three-decker, sunk during the action. Fatigued as I am, I am very busily employed to refit the fleet with all expedition, that they may take the sea again.
Letter from Jean bon St. Andre, to his colleague Prieur, dated Brest, June 2.
Yesterday the most terrible and bloody action, that naval annals record, was fought by the two fleets. The dispositions were well planned and every thing portended a favorable issue; but the captain of the Jacobin threw all into confusion. We fought with true Republican bravery, and did immense mischief to the enemy.
In each fleet eight ships at least were dismasted, but as we were to leeward unluckily, we could not save them all. We towed five of them, the others fell into the hands of the enemy, less thro' their bravery than through the fatality of circumstances. We saved our masts on board the Mountain, but had 300 men killed and dangerously wounded. All the English ships attacked us in their turn, and we had six engaged with us at one time. The admiral performed his duty perfectly; we have lost the brave captain Bazire; he died sending up his prayers to heaven for the triumph of the Republic.
A number of brave men were killed; I envy their fate; I saw several fall at my side and before me. The part that I had in the action was not equal to my wishes. The English fleet is more crippled than ours.
There was no mark of courage but what was displayed in the contest; it was courage; in a word the bravery of Rome and Carthage was combined in us. We are endeavouring to accomplish the return of our leaky vessels into Brest.
Letter from Jean bon de St. Andre to the committee of public safety, dated Brest, June 13.
We have accomplished your object; the consequence of the action was the safety of the convoy, we drew the enemy to the well, and freed that corner through which the provision fleet was to pass. The letter which I received from the commander in chief of the fleet, will inform you that Vanstabe and his convoy have anchored safely at St. Matthew. Probably he will be the subject of conversation to day, but he is in safety enough, and Pitt's hopes that the French people would be starved, are again blasted. During the winter our frigates brought us the necessaries which he was sending to his associates in the war, and now we have safe in our ports against his will the provisions intended for the republic.
It was announced this day in the convention, that 31 millions of assignats were ready to be burnt, the sum in circulation is 2150 millions.
Sitting of the 18th.
Barrere announced, in the name of the committee of public safety, that Vanstabe's squadron, instead of having taken seven prizes as mentioned by Jean Bon St. Andre had taken ten, and that the frigate la Bourbeuse after an engagement of two hours had taken a Sardinian frigate of 36 guns. The last courier has brought the news of the capture of six more prizes among which is a ship of 500 tons.
With the northern army, continued Barrere, victory is permanent. For some time past the investment of Ypres was commenced, the numerous garrison made frequent sallies in which they were always repulsed; at last this fort which Vauban considered as impregnable could not resist republican valour. Richard and Chodieu in a letter dated from Lisle which gave an account of the siege, and the consequential surrender of Ypres, after a defeat of Clairfait in which he lost three cannon and left the field of action covered with his dead.
Sitting of the 19th.
Richard in a letter of the 18th gave details of the capture of Ypres. The garrison which consisted of 6000 men were made prisoners of war; the artillery in the place amounted to 100 pieces of cannon; all the provisions &c. fell into our hands. General Pichegru announces, that this city held out for 12 days, that in this short space of time
the army of observation obtained three victories, the last of which in particular was very decisive. The fourth battalion of the department of the North dragged along with them six 24 pounders, for 6 whole miles, before the place to complete its investment. A letter on the proposition of the committee of safety is to be written to this battalion expressive of the approbation of the convention of their conduct.
It was decreed in this sitting, that any captain of a ship of war who should break his line should suffer death. This decree was adopted in consequence of the recommendation of St. Andre who was impelled to it, from the misconduct of the captain of the ship Jacobin.
FRANKFORT, June 28.
The archduke Joseph arrived here on the 25th and set off the day after for Vienna.
BERLIN, July 1.
His majesty has bestowed the order of merit on 47 officers for their good conduct at Lautern on the 23d, and at Kerweiller on the 28th. On the 30th of June died here Mr. Englebrect minister of finances, in the 81st year of his age.
ALTONA, July 3.
Letters from Holland of the 28th of June say, that Clairfait on the 24th was defeated not far from Bruges. [The Brussels paper mentions the receipt of a letter from Ghent which mentions nothing of this action.] Bruges was taken by the French on the 25th and Ghent the 26th, the garrisons of those places having evacuated them on the approach of the French. 19 Hanoverians that were taken in the battle of the 24th were shot agreeably to the decree of the Convention. The French took Charleroi on the 24th and the garrison were made prisoners of war, (the letters from Brussels of the 27th make no mention of this.) Prince Cobourg has given orders to evacuate Valenciennes, Conde, Quesnoy, and Landrecies. The body of Emigrants that were in Ypres by means of a disguise in women's or peasant's clothes, chiefly escaped before the surrender of the place. A rumour prevails that the prince of Cobourg has been wounded and general Beauclerc killed. Further, Brussels and Ostend were said to have fallen into the hands of the French. (Letters however from Brussels of the 26th say nothing of this.)
VIENNA, June 25.
Gen. Hohenlohe is appointed Quarter Master of the army in the Netherlands.
A number of troops that were intended to reinforce the army have since received orders to march to the Netherlands.
At Turin on the 11th, 42 conspirators were executed.
HAGUE, June 29.
On the 26th there was an engagement between the army of the Sambre and the French at Fleurus—of which the following particulars were forwarded by the Prince of Cobourg:
"Notwithstanding many different circumstances concurred to induce a belief, that the fortress of Charleroi was obliged to surrender to the enemy, it was not possible to obtain certain information thereof, and it was deemed necessary to risk an action, to prevent so important a place as Charleroi from being abandoned to its fate.
On the 25th the army marched in five columns against the enemy. On the 26th at day break, the enemy were attacked in their position between Lambusart, Ypynies and Gosselies, which was strongly entrenched. The attack was commenced by all the columns with ardour and success—the out posts of the enemy, which were fortified with strong redoubts were driven in.
In the afternoon the left wing arrived at the upper part of the heights this side the Sambre, which, although they were not very high, still had a regular elevation, and which were well fortified with strong redoubts, and planted with a vast number of large artillery. Nevertheless the left wing endeavored by the beating of drums, to climb the fortifications but the enemy had an opportunity (as the fortress of Charleroi had surrendered on the afternoon of the 25th) of strengthening themselves with the army employed for its reduction, and placed their strongest force upon their right, which stood opposed to our left, far inferior to the enemy. This superiority of force, the natural advantage of their position, and the great number of their heavy artillery put them in a condition of repelling our attack.
The troops again however formed themselves under the cannon of the enemy, and would have renewed the attack with the same spirit a second time, if from the account of all the prisoners and other corroborating circumstances the surrender of Charleroi had not been fully confirmed, which determined the commanding General to expose his troops any longer. A halt was made for the purpose of bringing off the wounded, and to give the infantry

Bacheler has been released and a guard given him for his protection.
BRUSSELS, June 26.
From the Haerlem Paper .
We hear from the army of Gen. Clair-fait, that after the said army had retreated to Deynse and Perghem, the French immediately took possession of their position at Thielt, and on the 23d attacked Gen. Clair-fait at Deynse, and forced him to retreat to Ghent.
The army of the Duke of York is also broke up, and on the 24th had their headquarters at Oudenarde.
From the Leyden Gazette .
Same Date.
The alarming accounts follow one another here with such rapidity, that we hardly ever enjoy any repose for two days successively. General Clair-fait having retreated from Deynse to Ghent, and established his head quarters there on the 23d, was attacked there the next afternoon at 2 o'clock by the French, who had followed him closely; after having driven back a strong corps of Hanoverians, posted there for the defence of the canal of Bruges; but Gen. Clair-fait detached a corps of cavalry, which arrived in the moment when the French were about forcing their way into the city thro' the gate of Bruges, and made a terrible carnage amongst them. In the evening the French were driven two leagues the other side of Ghent, and it is even reported that Clair-fait has resumed his former position at Deynse. In the mean while, at least one fourth of the inhabitants of Ghent have fled in the utmost confusion.
When the news arrived here that the enemy were at the gates of Ghent the emigration recommenced stronger than ever; they continue to pack up the effects of the court, and government will in all probability remove to day.
Yesterday the baggage of the army of the Prince of Cobourg went thro' this city: the military chest is likewise arrived here, and the treasury of the English army has been sent to Antwerp.
HAGUE, July 1.
The combined army, for the purpose of relieving Charleroi, advanced in 5 columns on the 25th of last month, and on the 26th at break of day attacked the French in their entrenchments in the neighborhood. From the short account of the Prince of Cobourg of this affair which is arrived and has been published here, it appears that Charleroi had been obliged already to surrender to the French, on account of their superior force, and that the combined forces had lost thereby about 1500 men, but no artillery; but the French lost one howitz and one standard; and that the retreat of the combined army was made in the best order as far as Morbaix, where they had their night quarters on the 26th and from whence they were to march the next morning for Nivelles, in order to cover the country as much as possible and to support Namur.

NEW-YORK, Aug. 25.
Extract of a letter of a late date, from Charlestown, received this day, [Saturday.]
"The French have obtained two victories over Clair-fait—Clair-fait is mortally wounded."
"Captain Croft, from Bourdeaux, in 37 days, brings news that the Sans Culottes have conducted the King of Sardinia and his two sons to Paris—Courtray, Menin, Furnes, Ghent, Ypres and Nieuport, are all taken by the French."
[Diary]
At a meeting of the Democratic Society of the City of New York, on Wednesday the 20th day of August 1794, and in the nineteenth year of our independence—It was resolved that the following should be published as a declaration of their sentiments.—
1. It is the opinion of this Society, that the present situation of the United States is critical and alarming, and that it is the indispensable duty of every citizen to use his utmost exertions to preserve public liberty, the first of all blessings and to support the Constitution of the United States, which has been adopted by the choice of the people.
2. This Society disapprove the conduct of their fellow citizens of the western part of Pennsylvania, in resisting with arms and violence, the execution of a constitutional law, which however odious had been enacted by a majority of the representatives of the people; because we conceive that a recourse to arms should only be the last resort in those melancholy times when the memorials and remonstrances of a majority
of the people have proved ineffectual or been treated with contempt.
3. It is also the opinion of this Society, that every lenient and conciliatory measure consistent with the welfare of the United States, should be used with our western brethren before resort is had to that most dreadful of all alternatives which can never be justified but from principles of imperious and urgent necessity—that of spilling the blood of the citizens by the hands of each other, an alternative that must endanger the existence of all good governments and be pleasing to kings and tyrants only.
4. This Society most highly approve of the prudent measure adopted by the Executive of Pennsylvania, in appointing persons to confer with our fellow citizens of Pittsburgh, hoping that by their timely intervention all disquietudes may be removed from the minds of our western brethren, and general harmony fully and firmly re-established.
5. It is the decided opinion of this Society, that the mode of collecting public revenues by means of excise is oppressive and dangerous to civil liberty, because among a number of evils they are partial in their operation and productive of innumerable vexations, oppressions and acts of violence in their collection—because they have generally been destructive to the internal tranquillity of those communities in which they have been established—because they create a dangerous and pernicious influence in government by unnecessarily increasing the number of its officers and subordinate dependents—because they tend to alienate the affections of the people from the government, and to excite those alarming jealousies and dissensions which can only end in opposition and resistance on the one part and violence and oppression on the other—and lastly, because in these United States we have every reason to believe they are immediately contrary to the wishes of the people whose authority in every free country only can be supreme. And this Society while they pledge themselves to use their unremitted exertions by every constitutional mean in their power to obtain a repeal of those "immoral, oppressive and expensive laws," do most earnestly recommend to their western brethren, an immediate and unanimous return to that state of order and tranquillity which it is the duty of all good citizens to preserve.
By order of the Society. DAVID GEUSTON, President. JACOB DE LA MONTAGNE, Sec'y.

Ship Washington, Randall in 147 days from Canton Brig Diana, Barker, St. Croix Mary, Cassidy, Leghorn Charlotte, Fitch, Liverpool Sloop Clarissa, White, Kingston The Washington was stopped three days ago by a British frigate, the Captain of which ordered Captain Randall on board of him, with intent to send the Washington into Halifax; but Captain Randall informing him that he sailed from the East-Indies with a British convoy, and warning him of the consequence of detention, he permitted Capt. R. to proceed.
The Blanche, a British frigate, has captured the following American vessels on our coast and sent them to Halifax, viz.
Brig Prudence, of Chatham in Connecticut, Nathaniel Done, Master, from Martinique, bound to New-York.
Ship Portland, of New-York, Thomas Robinson, Master, from Cape Nicolla Mole, bound to New-York.

On the 13th inst. Captain Barker spoke the brig Polly, of Philadelphia, bound to St. Thomas's, out 42 days, in great distress.
On the 21st, saw at a distance three ships of war.
Yesterday arrived at the Watering Place, the British frigate Huzzar, Capt. George, in 10 days from Halifax. Gen. Bellegarde, and his two Aid de-Camps, which were taken in the fleet from the Delaware, bound to France, and sent into Halifax, came passengers in the frigate.
ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 21.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of information in Falmouth (England), to his friend in this town.
"The French fleet have had a complete beating—lost 8 sail of the line—but they have thereby got in their American fleet. The French fought desperately—one ship the Venguer, a 74, sunk close along side the Marlborough, from which ship our crew saw the Ven-
geur sinking—in this situation the Frenchmen retired from the under deck and fired the upper deck guns, and as soon as that was under water, they retired to the poop and there fired their musketry, and then went down, crying VIVE LA REPUBLIQUE!!"
"By land the French are successful everywhere—Ypres is taken with 7000 men and 130 cannon, and perhaps the French are at Ostend by this. The grand army dares not stir from Tournay, as the French are still in possession of Courtray, and a strong army investing Charleroi, from which place they have been driven three or four times across the Sambre—but always returned again almost immediately with increased numbers."
Things look dismal on the continent. The Emperor is certainly about to abandon all Flanders.
Prussia has enough to do with the Poles. Kosiusko was beaten, but rallied again, and it is said has completely beaten the Prussians—though headed by their wise king. It is said that Mr. Elliot has arrived from the Hague with some important intelligence relative to Prussia—also a messenger from Madrid—it is said the Spaniards are about making a separate peace—Such is the alarm at Ostend and Brussels that the former is nearly deserted and at the latter they are packing up. Earl Moira has failed for Ostend about the 25th with 8000 men to defend that place—it is expected he will arrive too late. People begin to wish for a peace—though Lord Howe's victory rather strengthened the attachments of the aristocrats—but all allow we shall never reduce them.
HALIFAX, July 31.
On Saturday last the pleadings on the Trial of the ship Pigeon, before the Court of Vice-Admiralty, being ended, the Court was adjourned to Monday, when the cargo was adjudged to be French property, and condemned to the Captors; excepting the private adventures of the Captain and such of the crew as are Americans. The determination on the ship was adjourned to a future day.

GLOCOW, IN GALLICIA,
June 10.
An Austrian officer is just returned from the frontiers of Poland, where he had been sent to save some of our boats on the Vistula loaded with corn, which had nearly fallen a prey to the Russian vengeance, mistaking them for the Polish. This officer was almost an eye-witness of the battle which happened on the 6th instant, between the combined Russian and Prussian armies, and the Poles. It seems that the intention of the Polish general was to attack the Russian corps under Denilow, about eleven thousand strong, besides the Cossacks, before their junction with the Prussians, but his plan failed; as on the 5th, the Russians had effected their junction with the Prussian army, consisting of near twenty thousand men, commanded by the King in person. The Poles had then no alternative, but to change their plan into a defensive one, and expecting to be attacked by an enemy of far superior force they prepared to receive him. The position for their army was masterly chosen, and all the villages in flank were guarded by small detachments and field pieces. The combined armies began the attack at eight in the morning: the Poles defended themselves with courage without losing an inch of ground, and even the peasants armed with pikes, dared to advance within fifteen yards of the Prussian batteries. The battle was obstinate and bloody till about two o'clock; when the Prussians, after repeated attacks, succeeded to drive the Polish detachments, with four field pieces, from a village, where they established immediately a battery, which annoyed so much the flanks of the Polish army, that they gave way and began about three o'clock to retreat, leaving some cannons dismounted. Their retreat was conducted with so much judgment and coolness, that the victorious armies could not take any advantage on their rear, not even make any prisoners, except those who were left wounded on the field of battle. The loss of the Poles may be computed to about 1500, and 12 cannons besides a few of the flying artillery; some of the guns had Russian arms upon them. The loss of the combined armies must be double; three Prussian officers have been killed, and a great many wounded. The King of Prussia had a narrow escape; two of his Aids-de-Camp had their horses killed by his side. His son, Prince Louis, shewed so much bravery to the perfect satisfaction of his father, that he has been made Lieut. Gen. and knighted with the order of the Black Eagle on the field of battle. The Russian General Denilow, and two Prussian Generals, received the same orders. Many officers have been rewarded with promotions, for their gallant behaviour, and strict execution of his Majesty's commands. The Polish General Grochowski, who formerly has been in the guards of his Prussian Majesty, was killed in this action. The Austrian troops are daily increasing in this country, in order to guard our frontiers.
LONDON, June 26.
NAVAL ANECDOTE of the FIRST of June.
Captain Trowbridge, captured in the Caster frigate, was on board the Sans Pareil, in the action of the 1st of June, standing near the arm chest with the French Commander during the whole action: so severe was the slaughter in this ship, that her decks were totally cleared wice during the action, and at last the survivors refused to come up to quarters. Capt. Trowbridge seeing the abandoned state of the ship, and the extreme distress of the Captain's mind, entreated him to permit the colours to be struck, to prevent the further unnecessary effusion of blood; to which the French officer replied, "they should not be struck so long as he had life."
The Queen Charlotte at this instant was ranging up along side to pour her whole broad-side into the Sans Pareil, when Capt. Trowbridge, taking up a trumpet, called out, "Is Lord Howe well?"—Astonished to hear such a question in English from the enemy's ship, Sir Roger Curtis asked from whom it came, and being informed, desired to know where the Caster's crew were. "Here on board," was the reply. "Take immediate possession, then, of the ship," said Sir Roger Curtis. "That is impossible," rejoined Captain Trowbridge, "for I am only a spectator here on my parole of honor." You are commanded to do it by Lord Howe," said Sir Roger Curtis, "to save the lives of his Majesty's seamen, as well as those of the enemy." On this Captain Trowbridge, turning to the French Commander said "You have heard, Sir, the orders, which I dare no longer resist: you have done every thing becoming a gallant officer; therefore permit me to save the ship and her crew, by taking possession of her in the name of my Sovereign." The French officer at length bowed assent—the Caster's crew were released from under the hatchets, and the British colours instantly hoisted over those of the Sans Pareil.

THE MODERATE. No. IV.
There never was a form of government established, but it had its opposers. Even our free, republican representative, federal system, and those whom the people have chosen to administer it, have met with the most violent opposition, and have been branded for Aristocrats and political Heretics , by many of the Democratic Societies . Is it then to be wondered at, that the great body of the community, who revere that constitution, who with gratitude contemplate its beneficial effects, should spurn with indignation & resentment at the men who would not only by dark and calumnious insinuations, but also by the most pointed and malignant animadversions, induce the people to believe that the operations of the government are a series of venality and corruption! Such has been the object of the Democratic Societies of New York, Philadelphia, Washington and several other places, which is but too plainly proved by their inflammatory resolutions, which have been published with all the fancied superiority of an intriguing cabal. And that the object of nearly all Democratic Societies is a dissolution of the federal system, is a fact of which no doubt can be entertained.
RICHMOND, August 20.
The Richmond troop of cavalry, commanded by Captain Hicks, the Richmond company of artillery, commanded by Captain Quarrier, and the Richmond company of light infantry, commanded by Captain Richardson, have offered themselves to the Major General, and been received by him as volunteers to perform the first tour of duty under the act of Congress requiring a portion of the militia of the United States to hold themselves in readiness for any service on which they may be ordered. It is believed that so patriotic an example will be followed by many other companies throughout the state.
ANECDOTE.
FOUR Negroes were carrying a Corpse to the grave at a place where it was a custom to give the bearers gloves. but those four were not presented with any. Astonished to hear such a question in English from the enemy's ship, Sir Roger Curtis asked from whom it came, and being informed, desired to know where the Caster's crew were. "Here on board," was the reply. "Take immediate possession, then, of the ship," said Sir Roger Curtis. "That is impossible," rejoined Captain Trowbridge, "for I am only a spectator here on my parole of honor." You are commanded to do it by Lord Howe," said Sir Roger Curtis, "to save the lives of his Majesty's seamen, as well as those of the enemy." On this Captain Trowbridge, turning to the French Commander said "You have heard, Sir, the orders, which I dare no longer resist: you have done every thing becoming a gallant officer; therefore permit me to save the ship and her crew, by taking possession of her in the name of my Sovereign." The French officer at length bowed assent—the Caster's crew were released from under the hatchets, and the British colours instantly hoisted over those of the Sans Pareil.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the bonus, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mar- yland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Ca- rolina and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie's. N.B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map.

One thousand Dollars R E W A R D. Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately disco- vered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter D, for their alphabeti- cal mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more foliated and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure. No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately is- sued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dol- lars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz. The person or persons, who engraved the late. The printer, or printers of the said bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitations of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the fol- lowing M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O. to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are nar- rower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in oper- ation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly sim- ilar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in num- ber thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the a being less than the m, and o- thers following. There is no stroke to the i in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters cut in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the T and the y going below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-skinned quill, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature. It is supposed these forgeries were commit- ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ap- prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL- LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794. Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have ap- peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from the ge- nuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Center, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unembossed state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view. The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehension & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the Re- spective Boards.
