From a Savannah paper.
Mr. McMillan,
Be pleased to insert the following in your paper when convenient. I hope that all the printers who receive your Gazette will have the goodness to publish it likewise, that the knowledge of it may be spread generally.
I am yours respectfully,
JOHN BRICKELL.
WHEN a person is bit by a mad dog, or other mad animal, or by a venomous snake or spider, or stung by any poisonous animal, our first object ought to be to wash the poison out of the part, and to destroy the place where we suspect it has entered beyond the power of washing.
The bite ought to be washed instantly, and a little gunpowder spread over it as soon as possible and set fire to it. This may be repeated several times, until the part is pretty deeply burnt.
The bitten place ought then to be washed with cold water constantly, until warm water, which is better can be procured.
The best way to wash the part is to pour water out of the spout of a tea kettle on it, and if the kettle is held high above the wound the force of the descending stream will wash out the poison the more effectually. One or two hundred kettle fulls of water may be used.
When an accident of this kind happens, people are confused and distressed to the last degree, every person proposing a method of cure, and perhaps none followed steadily. It is good, therefore, to have a plain prompt remedy, which even Negroes can put in practice, until medical assistance can be had.
At a dangerous season of the year a little gunpowder ought to be kept at hand in every family, and plantation drivers ought to have a little for this purpose, and be instructed how to use it; they ought likewise to have dogs taught to hunt snakes.
When it is necessary to send Negroes into a place of danger they ought to have thick woollen boots quilted inside thickly with cotton. They ought likewise to have a few ons of red woollen rag dangling near their ankles; if they happen to tread on a rattler snake he will probably bite the rag, and his teeth being hooked, there they will stick, by which means he can do no more harm.
FRANCE.
History of the Revolutionary Tribunal.
"Quis talia fando Temperet a lachrymis?"
This tribunal, which posterity will hardly credit, could have existed in the 18th century, in one of the most polished nations of Europe, had its origin in the dark manoeuvres of Maximilian Robespierre, a member of the convention, to destroy his opponents, and to afford him every opportunity of removing every obstacle between him and the crown of France—it was established by a decree of the convention, on the 17th day of August, 1792, and terminated its career with the execution of a colleague of its founder, and his accomplices, on the 15th day of December, 1794.
The crimes which it recognized as revolutionary, were, as appear by the sentences—carrying on correspondence with the enemies of the republic, opposing the enlistment of recruits, importing false assignats, composing and publishing writings in favor of royalty, blaspheming the people and constitution, concealing gold and silver coin, refusing to take the constitutional oath, cutting down and defacing the tree of liberty, frauds in the articles of clothing, provision or forage for the armies, exclaiming Vive le Roi, furnishing money to emigrants, checking the circulation of assignats, attempting to re-establish royalty, trampling on the national cockade, and substituting the black cockade, ridiculing the decrees of the convention, proposing an Agrarian law, proclaiming Louis XVII. conspiring against the unity and indivisibility of the republic, &c.
The conviction of one Jacques Debeaume, a Dutch merchant, was in these words: "Convaincu d'etre auteur et complice d'un complot qui a existé au mois de Juin, 1790, tendant a favoriser les ennemis exterieurs, et les conspirations des ennemis interieurs, en mettant en circulation sous le nom d'emprunt, mille actions de cent livres sterling, et leur coupons d'interet, a cinq pour cent, au profit de George de Galles, Frederick d'Yorck, et Guillaume Henry de Clarence, fils de George, Roi d'Angleterre, sous la garantie d'une obligation, par eux souscrite a Londres, le 5 Juin, 1790, a la disposition de Jean Jacques Beaume."
From its institution, in August, 1792, to the 27th day of July, 1794, the memorable day when Robespierre was deposed, the persons who suffered its dreadful sentence of decapitation were,
Marie Antoinette the queen of France. The princess Elizabeth, sister of the late king. Six princes. Three princesses. Six dukes. Two duchesses. Fourteen marquesses. Two marchionesses. Three barons of the empire. Twenty three counts. Six countesses. Three viscounts. Two hundred and fourteen ex-nobles. Twelve knights of St. Louis. One hundred and twenty-seven married women, wives of ex-nobles and others. Forty-five single women and women divorced. Seventy-six widows of ex-nobles and others. Four abbots and abbesses. Two constitutional bishops. Fourteen friars and monks of the different orders. One commodore. Eight captains of vessels. One hundred and fifty-five priests, curates and vicars. Seventeen constitutional priests. Twenty-three nuns of the different orders. Two marshals of France.
Thirteen marshals des camps. Forty-seven generals, lieutenant generals and brigadiers. Twenty-two colonels and lieutenant-colonels. Eight majors. Fifty captains of cavalry and infantry. Seventeen aids-des camps and adjutants. Forty-seven lieutenants of the army and navy. Seven officers of the artillery. Eighty-four soldiers, national guards, and sailors. Thirty-three members of the national convention. Four members of the legislative assembly. Twenty nine members of the constitutional assembly. Three ministers of state. Thirty mayors of cities and towns. Twenty-two judges. Nineteen justices of the peace. Twenty-four authors, literary men, and editors of newspapers. One hundred and seventy-eight counsellors, presidents of parliament, attorneys, lawyers, and notaries. One hundred and nine gentlemen. Twelve bankers. Two admirals. Thirty-eight merchants and factors. One hundred and five commissaries of war, marine national agents and contractors.
One hundred and sixty-six municipal officers, clerks in public offices, administrators of districts and departments, police, &c. auditors of accounts registers and receivers, and Nine hundred and 41 persons of different trades and descriptions.
Making together two thousand seven hundred and seventy four persons; the oldest person sentenced was monsieur Dupin, a counsellor of the parliament of Thoulouze, whose extreme age of ninety seven pleaded in vain for mercy. He and 25 more counsellors of the same Parliament, and four of the Parliament of Paris, were executed at the same time.
The youngest person sentenced was Charles Dubost, aged only 14, who with his brother and father suffered on the same morning. Twenty-times the most cruel tyrant, did a parent accompany his child to death; and the conspiracy of Verdun, as it was termed, sent at the same moment three beautiful sisters, the eldest only twenty-five to the scaffold!!!
From the 27th of July to the 15th December, 1794, the labors of the tribunal became meritorious, as during that interval no person received its sentence but Robespierre himself, and about one hundred of his accomplices—and it will be recollected with satisfaction, that shortly after, the judges and jurymen of this never sparing court shared the fate of their patron and protector.
KINGSTON (Jam.) Feb. 20.
We hear from the windward islands that Guadeloupe is completely blockaded by our men-of-war, and that a very strong force, consisting of negro corps raised in the different islands, are rendezvous'd at Barbadoes, for the purpose of attacking that island immediately upon the arrival of the fleet. When the Catharine left Barbadoes (on the 6th) an embargo was in force throughout that island, and it was with great difficulty he was allowed to leave it. It was there that five or six sail of our fleet from Cork, with very valuable cargoes on board had been taken and carried into Trinidad. The islands of St. Vincent and Grenada remain in a very critical situation.
The Britannia spoke his majesty's ship Argonaut cruising off the Isle a Vache. The Captain of the Argonaut informed them he had taken a ship privateer, of 22 guns, formerly the Elias Guineaman of Liverpool, out from Aux Cayes, and sent her to Cape Nicholas Mole.
Off Barbadoes, on the 7th or 8th of this month, the Britannia saw a 50 gun ship, a sloop of war, and a large merchantman, standing in for that island. The Lapwing and Horn sloops of war were cruising to windward of Barbadoes.
The Barbadoes Mercury of the 2d inst. contains the following paragraph.
"Since our last there have been a number of arrivals, all of which are compelled to come in and remain here for the present, it being a measure deemed highly proper to suspend the communications from hence with the neighbouring islands, while the arrival of the expected powerful armament is so long procrastinated."
February 27.
A foreign schooner, which arrived on Saturday, was boarded off Savannah la Mar, by the French privateer La Luieta of 4 guns, commanded by one Andrew Aucosta, who plundered the vessel of 4075 dollars, and several other articles.
Monday being the anniversary of the Birth day of the President of the United States of America, the British and American flags were displayed at the Coffee house of Mr. Bennett, in Harbor street and a large party partook of an entertainment provided on the occasion, and spent the day in mirth and conviviality.
SAVANNAH, March 24.
Extract of a letter from St. Mary's, March 25. Yesterday a discovery was made on the island of Cumberland of 10 or 12 brigand negroes, who, on examination before Judge Pendleton, appear to be a part of those people employed by the Spaniards in St. Domingo against the French republicans; they are under the command of the black general John Francois, now in St. Augustine; they failed from Monte Christi about two months past, bound to the Havannah; it appears that they had a white captain, but he is not to be found, and from a variety of corroborating circumstances, I think there is not a doubt of their penell, a native of Virginia; the vessel in which they were stranded a few days past on Cumberland island, it was a schooner, about 25 tons; they had several trunks and boxes on board, chiefly valuable female French planters of St. Domingo. The whole of these pirates were brought to this place last night, in consequence of a precept from the federal judge, supported by a detachment of federal troops, under command of Lieut. Cobb; they are now secured in Fort St. Tammany, under direction of Col. Gaither, whose readiness in aiding the civil authority on this and all other
occasions of late has been very conspicuous. A great part of the goods on board have been plundered by some worthless wretches on Cumberland, and part are sent after them."
BALTIMORE, April 15.
The following letter from Tortola, to a house in this town, was last evening handed to the printers of the Federal Gazette.
The recent transactions in the Court of Admiralty of Tortola, in the case of the brig Maria Williams, and others would warrant a representation to be made to the Secretary of the United States of the commanders of British ships, detaining on board their ships the owners, supercargoes, and captains of American vessels, six or eight days, and not allowing them to speak to any one, as can be proved by Capt. Oaks, Mr. Val. Rutter and others, by which they in particular lost the advice of Counsel, as the detention of those two prevented their applying to a Mr. Caines, who had attended the decision of some causes, prior to their arrival, and went from the island the day before Mr. Rutter's release, for St. Kitt's.
Let the grievance of the decisions in the court of Vice Admiralty be strongly represented, their contradiction to the known practice of Great Britain, and her courts of Admiralty; the judges not confining themselves to the fees allowed by the prize acts, but exacting and taxing enormous costs, of which the judges receive a principal share, which must act in influencing the determinations. These facts can be ascertained, as the fees are greatly raised in a cause when the claim is interposed.—The conduct of the judge in the case of the Maria Williams, ought to be particularly set forth.—His ordering the whole cargo to be sold, to ascertain the one third, instead of its being appraised, as in other cases. As a judge of that court in revenue causes, he must have known, that on the two thirds being sold, they must, by our revenue laws, be shipped to Great Britain, in a British bottom, or, if shipped in a foreign bottom, be liable to pay a high duty; and that his decision would deprive the owners of the advantage of carrying it away to a good market, and compelled them to sell it to his friend, the king's agent, at his cheap price; when had it only been appraised, it might have been taken on board the brig again.
Representations of this nature, suspended the admiralty court in Tortola, the last war, made by the Danish court on infringements of their rights of neutrality. The United States surely are entitled to the same friendly treatment.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, April 19.
Mr. Livingston, wished to submit a resolution to the consideration of the house, relative to the situation of certain merchants of the United States, in consequence of spoliations committed upon their property by foreign powers.
Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of losses, which may have been sustained by citizens of America, in the pursuit of their lawful commerce either by any infringement of the laws of nations, on the part of any foreign power, or by the unauthorised acts of any of the subjects of such foreign power, where, from whatever cause relief cannot be had against such subjects, in the ordinary course of justice.
Resolved, That Dollars be appropriated to be advanced to such citizens, and divided among them in proportion to their respective losses. Mr. Henderson said they had very frequently means proposed to them of taking money from the treasury, he should wish to propose a measure which would be likely to bring some money into it.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into and make a statement of the number of lots of land, together with the number of acres they contain, which are reserved for public use out of the sale of lands of the Ohio Company and others, that they consider thereupon, and that they make a report of the same by bill or otherwise.
The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the State of the Union, when Mr. Heath having spoken against the resolution for carrying into effect the British Treaty, and Mr. Williams in favour of it, Mr. Hildreth entered upon a discussion in support of the resolution also.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, first, on the bill for carrying into effect the treaty with Spain, and afterwards on that for carrying into effect the treaty with the Indian Tribes north west of the river Ohio, which having gone through, the house took them into consideration, and ordered them to be engrossed and read a third time to-morrow.
Adjourned.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. FENNO.
THE late declarations and measures of several members of the majority of the house of representatives, in consequence of Mr. Livingston's motion, to request certain papers of the President, struck me with extreme surprise. I could not have believed, before the event, that they would have had the boldness to use Mr. G—'s own idea and word, to undertake unconstitutionally to extend their powers—traitorously to oppose the supreme law of the land—wickedly to destroy the powers and counteract the operations of the other departments of government; at first, I was seriously alarmed, at their insurgent assertions and acts.
be praised for it, I am fully convinced. Their declarations are so outré—that all pronounce the contrary: The enemies even to the treaty are surprised, while they condemn the late doctrines of M—n and Co. M—n, a name once highly confided in and revered, now the subject of indignation and contempt.
To have become a party man, has some time debased his character—but to have been in the general convention—to have there urged, and to have victoriously urged and pleaded for—what he has lately maligned and opposed, is inconsistent with a mind, to be trusted—but, to have, not merely changed his sentiments—that could be easily pardoned—in many cases applauded—but to have forgotten such all-interesting facts—to have employed all his abilities and learning, to obscure, and if possible to hide truth—Oh! I weep over him—how is he forever lost as an upright legislator—how is he now execrated for his dishonest attack on the great charter of American freedom and glory!

Philadelphia, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 29, 1796.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in New-York, to his friend in this city, April 18.
"I think I have told you of my sensibility on political subjects. You will therefore not be surprised that I feel myself extremely affected by Mr. Mclay's motion. The alarm it occasioned here was such as could not but be expected from a measure of so serious a nature.
Extract of a Letter from a respectable House in New-York, to a House in this City, dated New-York, April 19th, 1796.
"The present political aspect of our country, has almost arrested all commerce. The underwriters having refused to insure any more vessels until a decision of the question before Congress for the appropriations for the British treaty. Exchange nominally 2 1-2 per cent discount, a great demand for money and general confidence lessened."
COMMUNICATIONS.
The Italian leader's men shew the great need they have of something to prop the drooping band, by harping on the antirepublicanism and antitreatyism of the state of Massachusetts, in the re-election of Governor Adams. In the counties of Berkshire, Hampshire and Worcester, which contain more than 150,000 independent farmers, Mr. Sumner had a majority of 3 to 1 in the two first, and 2 to 1 in the last.
Disorganizers and Jacobins have been for four years unremittingly employed in reviling, in the most abusive terms, all the good men who have been concerned in the administration of the government: And this has been so general, that not to have received the abuse of their venal presses were not to have acted up to the line of duty.
These are the men who now cry out Decency!!! There are upwards of one hundred and twenty different newspapers published in the United States. Of these, only three appear to be interested in opposing the Government of this Country. Viz: The Aurora, the Argus of New-York, and the Chronicle of Boston.
The right of discussing public measures, has been advocated by the enemies of the government when it could promote their libertine designs.
Now that they have got a majority in the house, any strictures on their conduct, are disorganizing doctrines.
At a meeting of a number of the citizens of Philadelphia, convened at Dunwoody's tavern, April 19, 1796, Mr. John Stille in the chair, it was unanimously agreed to recommend to their fellow-citizens
BENJAMIN R. MORGAN, as a proper person to fill the vacancy in the Senate of this State, occasioned by the resignation of Joseph Thomas, Esq. and to support him at the Election to be held on Thursday the 21st inst.
Published by order of the meeting, DAVID LEWIS, Sec'yry.
The following appeared in the Aurora this morning:
The following address was agreed to at a respectable meeting of citizens on Saturday last, and is now circulating for signature:
Stephen Girard, Chairman. THE ADDRESS of the Citizens of Philadelphia and its vicinity, to the House of Representatives of the United States,
Respectfully Sheweth, THAT, in full reliance upon the firmness, wisdom, and patriotism of the House, we have hitherto been silent, though anxious, spectators of its proceedings upon a subject, involving in its consequences the peace, independence, and liberties of our common country—the Treaty lately negotiated with Great Britain.
But when we behold attempts made to influence your decisions upon this head, we should do violence to our feelings, and betray an unwarrantable insensibility for the interest and honor of the United States, if we longer omitted respectfully to offer to the immediate representatives of the people our warmest approbation of their conduct, in asserting their constitutional prerogatives, and in executing their trust, as the guardians of our dearest rights.
We consider the Treaty with Great-Britain as unequal in its stipulations, derogatory to our national character, injurious to our general interests, and as offering insult instead of redress. We believe that like all other treaties, the conditions of which have been unequal, instead of composing differences, it must eventually lead to war; for if notwithstanding the artful manner in which the instrument is worded, its disadvantageous consequences are so easily foreseen, an experience of its evils cannot reconcile us to it, or induce American free men silently to submit for any length of time to its operation.
Though we lament the hard case of those of our fellow citizens, who have suffered by British depredations, and feel their well-founded claim to indemnification, we cannot consent to surrender our national rights, to ensure a compensation for those losses. But though we fear no danger from this refusal, we declare that we would rather pay our full proportion, than sacrifice the interest and independence of our country, to purchase what we might justly demand.
We have, however, full reliance on the House of Representatives, and look up with confidence to you as a constituted authority, and as the supporters of the honor of our country, the guardians of her independence, and the avengers of her wrongs.
The EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY of France prefaced their proposition for a forced loan with the following remarks.
"We have for some time endeavored to hide the calamities of the republic, but the truth is now our only, our last resort. We can no longer dissemble the affecting situation of France at the moment the reins of government were confided to us. All the springs are breaking into our hands. The most fatal catastrophe threatens to swallow up the Republic, if the legislative body does not take immediate and efficacious measures. We are convinced of the abundance both of specie and provisions, but the want of their circulation threatens us with destruction. The uncertainty of the plans of finance which have swollen the evil, and the resources of the public treasury are exhausted, in the expectation of the good effects which the plans promised. We are approaching to our end, if you do not take immediate measures to restore the finances. The depreciation of assignats is such, that specie for the public service is the most urgent want, but how is it to be procured! The means proposed are too slow; more rapid ones must be adopted. We are of opinion that a forced loan must be made for 600 millions in specie."
SENTIMENTS OF PHOCION ON WAR.
One of the great principles in the politics of Phocion (a noted Athenian general and eminent orator) says Rollin (in his history of the Grecians) was, that peace ought always to be in the aim of every wise government; and with this view, he was a constant opposer of all wars that were either imprudent or unnecessary. He was even apprehensive of those that were most just and expedient; because he was sensible that every war weakened & impoverished a state, even amidst a series of the greatest victories; and that whatever the advantages might be at the commencement of it, there never was any certainty of terminating it without experiencing the most tragical vicissitudes of fortune.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, April 18.
It is surprising to see with what temper the people everywhere observe the conduct of the house of representatives in Congress. While the question of demanding papers was before the house, the public mind was divided, and parties took sides with the champions in the field of debate. But the friends of Mr. Livingston's resolution, at least many of the most discreet, were of this opinion, that the house could not ultimately refuse the necessary appropriations. They are now astonished at the daring efforts of their own leaders to put all at stake, rather than yield to the other branches of the government. The most decided opposers of the Treaty do not hesitate to declare that since it is the law of the land, it ought to be executed. Indeed an uncommon unanimity appears on this occasion.
Union and firmness, in governments like ours, are often necessary to preserve the constitution from invasion; but never more than at the present time. The public will, in regard to the treaty, is not represented in the popular branch of Congress—of this fact we have had demonstrative evidence in the proceedings and declarations of the several Legislatures. Many of the members were elected by force of party; the contest was between property, steady principles and wisdom on one side, and numbers without property, led by noisy demagogues and inflamed by party zeal on the other. It can be demonstrated that there are members in Congress opposed to the treaty, who do not represent the real sense of one third of their constituents, nor one tenth of the property which is at stake, nor a tenth of the wisdom and sound discretion in the districts which elected them. A vast majority of the people of the United States are in favor of fulfilling the treaty, and this fact will soon appear.
The MERCHANTS and TRADERS of this city are requested to convene at the Tontine Coffee House To-morrow, at one o'clock, P. M. for the purpose of deliberating on the line of conduct to be pursued by them in the present critical situation of public affairs.
At the solicitation of a number of respectable Merchants, C. SANDS, President of the N. Y. Chamber of Commerce.
At a meeting of Committees appointed by the New-York and United Insurance Companies, and by the meeting of Individual Underwriters in this city, held pursuant to Public Notice—
Resolved unanimously, as the sense of these Committees, That during the present critical and alarming situation of Public Affairs, it will be inexpedient for the Insurance Companies and individual Underwriters in this City to insure American property against Capture or detention by any foreign Power, or the Consequences thereof.
Resolved, That the Presidents of the said two companies, and Mr. Van-Planck be a committee to communicate the above Resolution to the Underwriters in the several Seaports of the United States in such manner as they shall think most proper, and to correspond with them upon such matters as may affect the common interest of the Insurers.

Nevertheless, notice will be taken of the most remarkable circumstances in the history of the individual States, as far as they can be collected. This information shall be classed under separate appendices. The Author solicits the assistance of such Gentlemen as may be possessed of documents calculated to promote the execution of his plan. They shall be received with due gratitude—carefully preserved—and safely returned. February 9. 1aw12t.

Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold; and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington. The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prize are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the hor. suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET. ** Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore or Gideon Denison, Savannah, of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
