1. Charlotte, a tale of truth,
By Mrs Rowson, of the New Theatre
Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents.
[The rapid sale of the First Edition of
this interesting novel, in a few months,
isthe best proof of its merit.]
Extracts from the Critical Reviews, April
1791, p. 468.
It maybe a tale of truth, for it is not un-
natural, and it is a tale of real distress—
Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re-
commended to a school from humanity ra-
ther than a conviction of her integrity of
the regularity of her former conduct, is en-
riched from her governess, and accompanies
a young officer to America—The marriage
cerem ny, if not forgotten, is postponed,
and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon-
sistency of her lover, and treachery of his
friend,—The situations are artless and af-
fecting—the descriptions natural and pa-
thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such
a person ever existed, who, for one error,
scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu-
nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice
is not, we think, properly distributed."

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
The authors have presumed to affix to
their title the epithet Impartial; and the
reason is, because they cannot charge them-
selves with feeling the smallest bias to any
party, but that of truth and liberty; and
they flatter themselves, that their readers
will find not only every circumstance fairly
represented, but every censureable action,
whoever were the authors or actors, mark-
ed in its proper colors. If it was necessary
to make a declaration of their own princi-
ples, they would say, they are neither Tory
nor republican—they love liberty as Eng-
lish whigs, and execrate every criminal act
by which no noble cause is endangered and
disgraced.
In the present ferment of the publi-
mind, they cannot flatter themselves with
the hopes of seeing this claim universally
acknowledged. On the contrary, they are
well assured that these pages will not be acceptable
to the zealots of either party. But when time
shall dissipate the clouds of political precon-
ception, they will with some confidence expect that
verdict from public opinion, which candor
and moderation seldom fail to receive.

AN ACT making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That it shall be lawful for the commissioners of the sinking fund, and they are hereby empowered, with the approbation of the President of the United States, to borrow, or cause to be borrowed, from time to time, such sums, in anticipation of the revenues appropriated, not exceeding, in one year, one million of dollars, to be reimbursed within a year from the time of each loan, as may be necessary for the payment of the interest which shall annually accrue on the public debt; and for the payment of the interest on any such temporary loan, which shall not exceed six per centum per annum, so much of the proceeds on goods, wares and merchandise imported, on the tonnage of ships or vessels, and upon spirits distilled within the United States, and still, as may be necessary, shall be and are hereby appropriated.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That a loan be opened at the treasury, to the full amount of the present foreign debt, to continue open until the last day of December, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, and that the sums which may be subscribed to the said loan, shall be payable and receivable, by way of exchange, in equal sums of the principal of the said foreign debt, and that any sum, so subscribed and paid, shall bear an interest equal to the rate of interest which is now payable on the principal of such part of the foreign debt, as shall be paid or exchanged therefor, together with an addition of one half per centum per annum; the said interest to commence on the first day of January next succeeding the time of each subscription, and to be paid quarterly, at the same periods, at which interest is now payable, and paid upon the domestic funded debt: Provided , That the principal of the said loan may be reimbursed at any time, at the pleasure of the United States.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That credits to the respective subscribers, for the sums by them respectively subscribed to the said loan, shall be entered and given on the books of the treasury in like manner as for the present domestic funded debt; and that certificates thereof, of a tenor conformable with the provisions of this act, signed by the Register of the Treasury, shall issue to the several subscribers, & that the said credits, or stock standing in the names of the said subscribers respectively, shall be transferable, in like manner, and by the like ways and means, as are provided by the seventh section of the act aforesaid, intitled "An act making provision for the debt to the United States," touching the credits or stock therein mentioned; and that the interest to be paid upon the stock which shall be constituted by virtue of the said loan, shall be paid at the offices or places, where the credits for the same shall, from time to time, stand or be, subject to the like conditions and restrictions, as are prescribed in and by the eighth section, of the act last aforesaid.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the interest and principal of all loans, authorized by this act, shall be made payable at the treasury of the United States only, so far as relates to the payment of the principal and interest of the domestic debt.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That so much of the duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported, on the tonnage of ships or vessels, and upon spirits distilled within the United States, and stills heretofore appropriated for the interest of the foreign debt, as may be liberated or set free, by subscriptions to the said loan, together with such further sums of the proceeds of the said duties, as may be necessary, shall be, and they are hereby pledged and appropriated, for the payment of the interest which shall be payable upon the sums subscribed to the said loan, and shall continue so pledged and appropriated, until the principal of the said loan shall be fully reimbursed and redeemed: Provided always , That nothing herein contained shall be construed to alter, change, or in any manner affect, the provisions heretofore made concerning the said foreign debt, according to contract, either during the pendancy of the said loan, or after the closing thereof; but every thing shall proceed, touching the said debt, and every part thereof, in the same manner as if this act had never been passed, except as to such holders thereof, as may subscribe to the said loan, and from the time of the commencement thereof in each case, that is, when interest on any sum subscribed shall begin to accrue.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the several and respective duties laid and contained in and by the act, intitled "an act laying additional duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported into the United States," passed the seventh day of June, one thousand seven hundred and ninety four, shall, together with the other duties heretofore charged with the payment of interest on the public debt, continue to be levied, collected and paid, until the whole of the capital or principal of the present debt of the United States, and future loans which may be made, pursuant to law, for the exchange, reimbursement or redemption thereof, or of any part
thereof, shall be reimbursed or redeemed, and shall be, and hereby are, pledged and appropriated for the payment of interest upon the said debt and loans, until the same shall be so reimbursed or redeemed.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the reservation made by the fourth section of the aforesaid act, intitled "An act making provision for the reduction of the public debt," be annulled, and in lieu thereof, that so much of the duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported on the tonnage of ships or vessels, and upon spirits distilled within the United States, and stills, as may be necessary, be, and hereby are substituted, pledged and appropriated for satisfying the purpose of the said reservation.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That the following appropriations, in addition to those heretofore made, be made to the fund constituted by the seventh section of the act, intitled "An act supplementary to the act making provision for the debt of the United States," passed the eighth day of May, one thousand seven hundred and ninety two, to be hereafter denominated "The Sinking fund," to wit: First, so much of the proceeds of the duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported, on the tonnage of ships or vessels, and on spirits distilled within the United States, and stills, as, together with the monies which now constitute the said fund, and shall accrue to it, by virtue of the provisions herein before made, and by the interest upon each installment, or part of principal, which shall be reimbursed, will be sufficient, yearly and every year commencing the first day of January next, to reimburse and pay so much as may rightfully be reimbursed and paid, of the principal of that part of the debt or stock, which, on the said first day of January next shall bear an interest of six per centum per annum, redeemable by payments on account both of principal and interest, not exceeding, in one year, eight per centum, excluding that which shall stand to the credit of the commissioners of the sinking fund, and that which shall stand to the credit of certain states, in consequence of the balances reported in their favor, by the commissioners for settling accounts between the United States and individual states: Secondly—the dividends, which shall be from time to time, declared on so much of the stock of the Bank of the United States, as belong to the United States (deducting thereout such sums, as will be requisite to pay interest on any part remaining unpaid of the loan of two millions of dollars, had of the Bank of the United States, pursuant to the eleventh section of the act, by which the said bank is incorporated): Thirdly—so much of the duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported, on the tonnage of ships or vessels, and on spirits distilled within the United States and stills, as, with the said dividends, after such deduction, will be sufficient, yearly, and every year, to pay the remaining installments of the principal of the said loan, as they shall become due, and as, together with any monies, which shall by virtue of the provision in former acts, and herein before made, shall on the first day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and two, belong to the sinking fund, not otherwise specially appropriated.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That the interest on each installment, or part of principal, which shall, from time to time be reimbursed, or paid, of that part of the debt stock, which, on the first day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and one, shall begin to bear an interest of six per centum per annum, will be sufficient, yearly, and every year, commencing on the first day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and two, to reimburse and pay so much, as may rightfully be reimbursed and paid, of the said principal of the said debt or stock, which shall so begin to bear an interest of six per centum per annum, on the said first day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and one, excluding that, which shall stand to the credit of the credit of the commissioners of the sinking fund, and that, which shall stand to the credit of certain states, as aforesaid: Fourthly—The net proceeds of the sales of lands belonging, or which shall hereafter belong to the United States, in the western territory thereof: Fifthly—All monies, which shall be received into the treasury, on account of debts due to the United States, by reason of any matter prior to the present constitution: And lastly—all surpluses of the revenues of the United States, which shall remain, at the end of any calendar year, beyond the amount of the appropriations charged upon the said revenues, and which, during the session of Congress next thereafter, shall not be otherwise specially appropriated or reserved by law.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That as well the monies which shall accrue to the sinking fund, by virtue of the provisions of this act, as those which shall have accrued to the same, by virtue of the provisions of any former act or acts, shall be under the direction and management of the commissioners of the sinking fund, or the officers designated in and by the second section of the act, intitled "An act making provision for the reduction of the public debt," passed the twelfth day of August, one thousand seven hundred and ninety, and their successors in office; and shall be, and continue appropriated to the said fund, until the whole of the present debt of the United States, foreign and domestic, funded and unfunded, including future loans, which may be made for reimbursing or redeeming any installments or parts of the principal of the said debt, shall be reimbursed and redeemed; and shall be, and are hereby declared to be vested in the said commissioners, in trust to be applied, according to the provisions of the aforesaid act of the eighth day of May, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety
two, and of this act, to the reimbursement and redemption of the said debt, including the loans aforesaid, until the same shall be fully reimbursed and redeemed. And the faith of the United States is hereby pledged, that the monies or funds aforesaid shall inviolably remain, and be appropriated and vested, as aforesaid, until the same shall be fully and completely redeemed.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That all reimbursements of the capital, or principal of the public debt, foreign and domestic, shall be made under the superintendence of the commissioners of the sinking fund, who are here empowered and required, if necessary, with the approbation of the President of the United States, as any installments or parts of the said capital or principal become due, to borrow, on the credit of the United States, the sums requisite for the payment of the said installments or parts of principal: Provided , That any loan which may be made by the said commissioners, shall be liable to reimbursement at the pleasure of the United States; and that the rate of interest thereupon, shall not exceed six per centum per annum: and for greater caution, it is hereby declared, that it shall be deemed a good execution of the said power to borrow, for the said commissioners, with the approbation of the President, to cause to be constituted certificates of stock, signed by the Register of the Treasury for the sums to be respectively borrowed, bearing an interest of six per centum per annum, and redeemable at the pleasure of the United States; and to cause the said certificates of stock to be sold in the market of the United States or elsewhere; Provided , That no such stock be sold under par. And for the payment of interest on any sum or sums which may be so borrowed, either by direct loans, or by the sale of certificates of stock, the interest on the sum or sums which shall be reimbursed by the proceeds thereof (except that upon the said stock, bearing and to bear an interest of six per centum redeemable by payments, not exceeding in one year, eight per centum on account both of principal and interest) and so much of the duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported, on the tonnage of ships or vessels, and upon spirits distilled within the United States, and upon stills, as may be necessary, shall be, and hereby are pledged and appropriated.
Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the commissioners of the sinking fund, to cause to be applied and paid, out of the said fund, yearly and every year, at the treasury of the United States, the several and respective sums following, to wit: First—Such sum and sums as, according to the right for that purpose reserved, may rightfully be paid for, and towards the reimbursement or redemption of such debt or stock of the United States, as, on the first day of January next, shall bear an interest of six per centum per annum, redeemable by payments, not exceeding in one year, eight per centum, on account both of principal and interest, excluding that standing to the credit of the commissioners of the sinking fund, and that standing to the credit of certain states, as aforesaid, commencing the said reimbursement or redemption, on the said first day of January next: Secondly—Such sum and sums as, according to the conditions of the aforesaid loan, had of the Bank of the United States, shall be henceforth payable towards the reimbursement thereof, as the same shall respectively accrue: Thirdly—Such sum and sums as, according to the right for that purpose reserved, may rightfully be paid for and towards the reimbursement or redemption of such debt or stock of the United States as, on the first day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and one, shall begin to bear an interest of six per centum per annum, redeemable by payments, not exceeding in one year, eight per centum, on account both of principal and interest, excluding that standing to the credit of the commissioners of the sinking fund, and that standing to the credit of certain states, as aforesaid, commencing the said reimbursement or redemption, on the first day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and two; and also to cause to be applied all the surplus of the said fund, as may, at any time exist, after satisfying the purposes aforesaid, towards the further and final redemption of the present debt of United States, foreign and domestic, funded and unfunded, including loans for the reimbursement thereof, by payment or purchase, until the said debt shall be completely reimbursed or redeemed.
Sec. 12. Provided always, and be it further enacted, That nothing in this act shall be construed to vest in the commissioners of the sinking fund, a right to pay, in the purchase or discharge of the unfunded domestic debt of the United States, a higher rate than the market price or value of the funded debt of the United States: And provided also , That if, after all the debts and loans aforesaid, now due, and that shall arise under this act, excepting the said debt or stock, bearing an interest of three per cent, shall be fully paid and discharged, any part of the principal of the said debt or stock bearing an interest of three per cent, as aforesaid, shall be unredeemed, the government shall have liberty, if they think proper, to make other and different appropriations of the said funds.
Sec. 13. And be it further enacted, That all priorities heretofore established in the appropriations by law, for the interest on the United States, as between the different parts of the said debt, shall, after the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, cease with regard to all creditors of the United States, who do not, before the expiration of the said period, signify, in writing, to the Comptroller of the Treasury, their dissent therefrom; and that thenceforth, with the exception only of the debts of such creditors who shall so signify their dissent, the funds or revenues charged with the said appropriations, shall, together, constitute a common or consolidated fund, chargeable, indiscriminately, and without priority, with the payment of the said interest.
Sec. 14. And be it further enacted, That all certificates, commonly called loan-office certificates, final settlements, and indents of interest, which, at the time of passing this act, shall be outstanding, shall, on or before the first day of January, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, be presented at the office of the Auditor of the Treasury of the United States, for the purpose of be-
ing exchanged for other certificates of equivalent value and tenor, or, at the option of the holders thereof, respectively, to be registered at the said office, and returned; in which case, it shall be the duty of the said Auditor to cause some durable mark or marks to be set on each certificate, which shall ascertain and fix its identity, and whether genuine, or counterfeit or forged; and every of the said certificates, which shall not be presented at the said office, within the said time, shall be forever after barred or precluded from settlement or allowance.
Sec. 15.

For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. FENNO.
IF any thing from a Jacobin Society can at this time be worthy of comment, the following will find a place in your paper.
In a democratic address published in the Gazette of the United States of Saturday last, there is the following passage: "Already have some of the high toned deputies (meaning members of Congress) experienced the indignation of an insulted people, and if the characters of others were as fully dilated the democratic triumph would be com-
plete;" and a reprobating the attachment of printers to the government they say—"the press ought to engage the attention of our associations, and a remedy sought for."
Yet, these are friends to the liberty of the press, and to free and unbiased elections, if you were to judge of them by their professions only!
I would now, with your leave, ask these consistent gentlemen a few questions, viz.
In what manner, or shape, have members of Congress felt the "indignation" alluded to?
How far have the democrats, by their secret committees, dilated or flayed individual characters to bias the freedom of elections?
How far do they mean to go, or if they gone, to corrupt the press, and to turn it as an engine against government?
What do they mean by chasing away a law of the land? Is this intended to alarm government, and to turn out the militia once more, or are they jesting on this subject?
What do they mean by the following, viz. "We do not mean to pass sentence on governmental measures, which are not fully disclosed," &c?
What other knights of the shawl, with self-created crowns and sceptres, ever proceeded to more whimsical lengths, than these persons, who seat themselves up in a conclave, and then and there proceed to judgment and sentence of condemnation, on the free persons or doings of freely elected law-givers, established by sovereign states, in opposition to all tyranny and at the expence of their best blood and treasure, and to what end is this done?
An answer to these queries will oblige
TIMO QUID NUNC.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Report and Project of a Decree, presented in Nivose, [the latter end of December] by Johannet, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, General Security, Legislation, Commerce and Finances:
ON THE MEANS OF RESTORING THE FINANCES AND PUBLIC CREDIT.
Received by the Maria and translated for the Aurora.
(Concluded from our last.)
The measures proposed to you are bold, but their efficaciousness depends on the impulsion you will give to the public mind, and to the security you will give for their execution. The government must proceed with a regular and determined step. Announce the end you have in view. Present to the uncertain public mind a point on which to rest and fix—Hitherto the government has found itself too often the prey of all the passions which have alternately reigned by means more or less violent, and under all forms more or less popular.
Let us be persuaded, and let us proclaim it openly; it is to that perpetual change that all our evils are owing. Our republican anals do not yet include three years, and by the multiplicity of events, 20 centuries appear required to contain them. Revolutions have followed revolutions; men, things, events and ideas, all have changed, every thing changes yet, and in this continual ebb and flow of opposite movements, in vain would the government pretend to that confidence which can only be the result of a steady and wise conduct, and of a constant attachment to principles.
Commerce necessarily disappeared thro' this astonishing succession of contracts, and in a country, where individuals, incapacitated for making any sure calculations, see around them nothing but a wide prospect of changes.
Credit is a tender plant which needs gentle and regular winds, and cannot grow in a tempestuous clime, or soil often disturbed.
It is time we should put a period to the reign of uncertainties, and fix invariably the principles of justice, equity and loyalty, which should be the guides of our conduct. Let us hasten to subject the internal administration to a regular system; let us especially take care that no measure ever gives rise to fears concerning the solidity of the mortgage of our assignats.
When the government, ready in its march, shall have shown the real end they aim at; when it shall have rendered an account to itself and to others of the system it intends to adopt; when the convention dismissing those unfortunate bickerings which have too often impeded their progress, shall attend solely to the happiness of the people; when they shall not cease to reject with

emigration all measures which can in any way in the least degree the principles of justice and good faith which should direct them; then all alarms will be at an end, and the restoration of the finances, of credit and of commerce may be undertaken with assurance of success.
PROJECTED DECREE.
The National Convention, having heard the report of their committees of commerce, finances, legislation, public safety, and general security united, decree as follows:
Art. 1. A committee shall be appointed, composed of one member from each committee, to draft in conjunction with the committee of finances, a general statement of the situation of the income & outgo of assignats and of all receipts or expenditures either in specie or assignats, or other medium of value, at the national treasury, since its establishment to the 1st of Nivose, and render an account thereof to the convention.
This statement shall exhibit particularly the situation of the public treasury on the 21st of September 1792 (O. S.) and on the 16th Thermidor last.
Art. 2. The committee of finance shall immediately present a statement of the ordinary expenses of the government, and shall report the means of providing for them.
Art. 3. The committees of war and public safety united, shall propose such arrangements concerning order and economy as the extraordinary expenses can be subjected to.
Art. 4. From the day of the date of this decree, the merchants and manufacturers shall provide themselves by the means of a free commercial intercourse. The government shall limit its operation for providing for the sea and land forces; such raw materials as are not wanted for such supply of provisions and which may be in the magazines of the republic, or under requisition on its account, shall without delay be exposed for sale.
The supply of provisions on account of the republic shall be given as much as possible to the lowest offering.
Art. 5. The import duties upon merchandise of primary necessity shall provisionally be reduced, and remain no higher than will be necessary to attain a knowledge of their amount. The committee of commerce shall immediately present a list of those merchandise, and of those the exportation of which shall remain prohibited.
Art. 6. The decree concerning the sequestration of the property of the subjects of powers at war with the Republic, is annulled. Such sums as have been paid by French citizens into the treasury in consequence of those decrees, will be reimbursed.
Art. 7. Citizens possessed of specie are permitted to export it, under the obligation of importing its amount in objects of first necessity. The committees of public safety, finance and commerce united will take the necessary measures to regulate the manner of said exportations, and prevent the abuses which might creep into that business.
Art. 8. The navigation act is provisionally suspended until the committees of the marine and commerce shall have given in their report on the means to be employed for rendering the execution of it more certain and more useful.
Art. 9. The National Convention enjoins all the agents of the Republic, all commanders of the armed force, civil and military officers, to cause to be respected and observed in all their dispositions, the treaties which unite France to the neutral powers of the ancient continent, and to the United States of America. Those treaties shall in no manner be violated. All regulations which may any way clash with said treaties are annulled.
Art. 10. The creditors of emigrants and all individuals whose estates are under confiscation, are declared direct creditors of the state.
From this are excepted the creditors of those who were bankrupts, or known to be insolvent at the time of the confiscation. The statement of the situation of their estates shall be substantiated by a summary enquiry.
The committees of legislation and finances shall forthwith report on the speedy and sure method of accelerating this liquidation, and on the nature of the title of credit to be admitted.
Art. 11. To refuse to agriculture without delay the estates of the emigrants and persons condemned, the same committees shall forthwith report upon the means of settling with the relations of the emigrants about the portion of inheritance coming to the Republic. The sequestration laid on the estates of families shall immediately after be taken off, and the families shall be let at liberty, if there exist no other cause of detention.
All the moveables of the emigrants belonging to the Republic, shall be sold without delay; the committee of finances shall propose the means of collecting them together to let them up to public sale, in the least expensive and most useful manner.
Art. 13. The commission of the National revenues shall without delay draw up a statement of the estates which it is expedient to sell with speed, as also of the buildings and houses unless which burthen the republic with the expence of keepers and repairs.
The Committee of finances shall report on the means of alienating them with all possible dispatch, so as that they may bring in one thousand millions in the course of the year.
Art. 15. The committee of finances shall forthwith make a general report on the laws declaring the penalty of forfeiture against the creditors of the republic, that the National Convention may be enabled to modify such as shall appear too rigorous.
Art. 15. The commission charged to revise the present organization of the government, shall forthwith make its report on the means of securing its stability and giving it all necessary activity and strength both as to matters of economy and the reforms which the public interest and the punctuality of the service demand, whether in the administrative commissions or in the affairs committed to their province.
PARIS, December 21.
"The representative of the people" Mercier has just informed us in a journal he published that Condorcet is "no more!"
"We believed,—hoped him to be still alive!"
"His Widow applied to the Convention for the ashes of her unhappy husband, but her letter was not read!"
The literary world lose in Condorcet the most distinguished author of the present age, society a friend of humanity, the republic a virtuous citizen and an eminent legislator, mankind an indefatigable and profound instructor, and posterity will decide the rank which he deserves among those philosophers who have disclosed the true politics of nations and perfected the great art of governing.
The flight reception madame Condorcet's letter met with leads us to suppose that Condorcet, the most respectable victim of Robespierre, did not share the good fate of the 72 deputies re-admitted into the convention, perhaps because he was once called marquis de Condorcet; What are the charges against him by his enemies? his candor, superior talents, his resolution to use the right of a freeman in speaking his opinion, a blameless and honorable conduct in private and public life. He was indeed no Marat but he was a pure republican and one of the founders of the republic; Chabot accused him of having wrote a libel on the new constitution, because Condorcet had published his opinion on this great achievement of the convention: Condorcet was arrested and his enemy? Chabot condemned for bribery, Danton died as a conspirator, Marat in the pantheon occupies the post of danger where the great Mirabeau fell, and Tallien pretends to be at the head of the convention. The detractors of Condorcet may continue to censure him for having been a man; they may refuse him the merit due to his virtues and patriotism; Condorcet wants no funeral pomp to announce him to the world, his memory is dear to all who knew him, and his genius has raised a monument more desirable than those of marble and more immortal than pompous structures. The name of Condorcet is a pantheon.

SAVANNAH, Feb. 26.
Accounts received by different arrivals since our last from the windward West India Islands state, that the force lately arrived at Guadaloupe from France consisted of 6 frigates and 7 transports, having only 4000 troops on board—That La Pique, a French frigate of 36 guns, which had been fitted out at Guadaloupe with 400 picked men, in order to go in quest of the British frigate Blanche of 32 guns, commanded by Captain Faulkner, had fallen in with her, and after a long and bloody contest, in which both the Captains, and a great number of men were killed, was captured and carried into St. Kitts. It is said La Pique, in endeavouring to board the Blanche, had been lashed to the latter in such a manner as to lie in a very disadvantageous position during the greatest part of the engagement. Some accounts mention that a British ship of 74 or 64 guns bearing down upon them was the principal cause of the French frigate's striking her colours. John Milledge and Abraham Baldwin Enquires are elected to represent this state in
the House of Representatives of the United States.

PHILADELPHIA, March 30.
It deserves to be noticed, says a Correspondent, that the "Act making further provision for the Support of public credit and for the redemption of the public debt" passed the Senate of the United States, as it came from the House of Representatives without alteration or amendment , and almost unanimously—Mr. Jackson of Georgia being the only Dissentient.—It is to be observed also that this act extends the continuance of the Acts laying duties on Carriages, Licenses, Snuff, Loaf Sugar and on property sold at Auction to the first day of March one thousand eight hundred and one.
Some men, under the notion of weeding out Prejudices, would eradicate Religion, Virtue and Common Honesty.

MR. PRINTER.
I FIND some persons are alarmed at the project of establishing public schools, lest they should be obliged to contribute to the expence. Sir, if self-defence can be quarrelled with, no wonder self-preservation is. Such is the state of human passions, that ambition, pride and avarice, will create wars, and overturn liberty if not resisted unto blood. But some say, the command is express, to offer another cheek after one is smitten—and to both cheeks, head and all, may go.
That matter, has been settled; we will fight the enemies of our country—Now for self-preservation—What is this but liberty and the blessings of free government? And can these be realized without knowledge? No. And without public schools the major part of the people will grow up in ignorance, and be the dupes of knaves and tyrants.—This must not be:—Schools must be established, and a general tax support them.

By the arrival of the brig Experience, Captain Houston, from Barbadoes, newspapers were received from that Island to the 28th February, by a merchant of this city, which contain the following articles.
BRIDGE-TOWN, (Barb.) Feb. 21.
On Wednesday last arrived from Falmouth in 44 days, his majesty's packet the Portland, with the last December mail. The extraordinary length of the minutes of the house of assembly will, we hope, be a sufficient excuse for not furnishing our readers with extracts from London prints. The most material intelligence, however, we find to be, that a strong and formidable French fleet of 31 sail of the line had made its appearance in the channel, to the annoyance of our outward bound fleet, which had again put into port; but from the well known activity, skill and vigilance of our brave British commanders, we have the strongest hope, that the present year will prove as propitious to Britain's navy as the preceding one.
We also learn, that Holland has concluded a separate Peace with the Republic of France; the particulars of which we will endeavor to lay before the public on Tuesday.
By way of Martinique we learn the false arrival of the Boyne at Portsmouth. February 24.
This morning arrived the schooner Governor Ricketts, from Martinique, by whom a correspondent has favored us with the following, which we offer the public as authentic:
Extract of a Letter from Martinique, dated February 20.
"The commanders in chief here, some few days ago, sent the Hostess-Quickly to Guadaloupe, with Lieut. Thompson of the Majestic, and an Army Officer with a party of truce, to pay British troops, prisoners there, and to inspect the fort. On the arrival of the vessel, lieutenant Thompson went on shore and had an interview with Victor Hugues, the democratic commander, who would not suffer the Army Officer to go on shore. He asked the lieut. for his authority for coming; on producing which, and seeing the names of Caldwell and Vaughan, he thought proper, it is said, to treat our gallant commanders with great affected contempt. After much conversation, he took the lieutenant to a house which he told him was "Jones's. I wish," said he, "I could see this man; he kept excellent wine, and you shall taste it." A bottle was ordered, and he proceeded:—"Barbadoes is the only country you have worth taking, and long before this I should have been there, was it not so far to windward, and so many white inhabitants on it: but let them look to themselves, I know not what success may prompt me to. Go your way, tell those who send you I fear them not; their countrymen shall be taken care of without their help: do not let them send any more spies, for the next shall not be treated as well as you have been." The lieutenant immediately embarked, and arrived here yesterday and reports that the harbour of Point a Petre is full of vessels, and seems to think Barbadoes the object of greatest danger. This account you may depend upon.
"It is also in circulation here that a French privateer and frigate are cruising to windward of Barbadoes, that a Guineaman called the Prince of Wales, with 400 Slaves has been taken by them besides a Schooner belonging to Saint Vincent.—The general opinion here is that Dominica will shortly be attacked by the French from Guadaloupe, and that Barbadoes will have a visit from them for the sake of plunder, it would therefore be necessary to take Victor Hugue's advice and look to yourselves." All is tranquillity here and the French inhabitants seem perfectly satisfied. The royalists shew themselves in great numbers and are fond of the British uniform."
"We cannot but congratulate the inhabitants of Barbadoes on the establishment of a Militia, that now renders their population formidable, as well as extensive.—The judicious selection of Commanding Officers, and their meritorious and unremitting exertions deserve and receive universal approbation: such is the spirit of the country, which however dormant, has never been extinguished, that all ranks are eager to come forward in the general defence."
"Nor is the generous enthusiasm confined to the breasts of those respectable Gentlemen who have accepted commissions—we are certain that it pervades as well the privates, as the officers of every corps; and whilst we are enabled to raise at a few hours notice a constitutional defence of 5000 soldiers, we may be assured that if our enemies condescendingly conceive this Island "worth taking," we shall never be destitute of men who will convince these boastful, that we, in our turn, think it worth defending."

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when completed, 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 Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assigned to 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 those having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revision as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Country 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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS.
Selected from the most striking and interesting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accompanied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities. By G. I. PARKYNS, Author of the "Monastic Remains and Ancient Castles in Great Britain." CONDITIONS.
I. That the work shall be published by Subscription; and that each Subscriber shall engage to take the whole set of Views, and shall pay for each engraving, if black or brown, 2 Dollars; and if coloured 5 Dollars. II. That the dimensions of each engraving shall be 24 by 17 inches, executed in aquatinta, and published upon paper of a superior quality. The publication to commence immediately; and one engraving to be delivered to the Subscribers, on the first Monday of each succeeding month, until the proposed series shall be finally completed. III. That with the last View of the series, shall be delivered an engraved title-page; an elegant characteristic vignette; a map of the route, connected with the prospects exhibited in the course of the Work; and an Alphabetical list of the Subscribers.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS Work is offered to the public at a crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts: Amidst the ravages of war, and the convulsions of a revolutionary age, they must inevitably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and industry of men of genius and talents. Advancing, indeed, rapidly to the zenith of power, reputation and opulence, America, even in a state of universal tranquillity, must soon have become the rival of Europe in learning and taste, as well as her superior in morality and government. Under the present circumstances of the world, however, the opportunity occurs to anticipate the defined period of pre-eminence; and to render America at this eventful hour, the guardian and protectress of every science that can enlighten, and of every art that can adorn the human mind.
On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail to attract the public attention; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether undeserving or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country possesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the soul of the philosopher to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter, than those which lie profusely scattered over the American continent. Unfortunately there is no country, whose native charms have been so superficially explored, or so imperfectly delineated. Hitherto, indeed the toil of converting a wilderness into a state of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the necessaries and comforts of life; and of adapting civil institutions to the genius of a new nation, seems to have been insufficient to engage all the strength, and all the talents of the inhabitants of America. The people of Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely, comparatively speaking, overstepped the boundaries of their continent in pure search of information or pleasure. The ruins of art, which encumber their domestic scenery, have been preferred to the novelties of nature which arise in other regions; and the time has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi would have been less valued, than the section of a palace, or a mutilated fragment of antiquity. But in respect to both, a revolution in situation and sentiment has been accomplished. The American finds leisure, with a retrospective and joyful sensibility of heart, to admire the graces, as well as to reap the abundance which providence has bestowed on this country; and the European is compelled, with an anxious and expectant eye, to look abroad for that peace & prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at home.
The attention of mankind being thus directed towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as its political interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new subject, and in a new style of execution. The art of engraving in Aquatinta, has indeed, for some time been held in high estimation throughout Europe; its close imitation of finished drawings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depicts the light and graceful touches of nature, are properties, that seem peculiarly adapted to the American scenery, some of the tints and colors of which are certainly no where else to be found.
Exclusive of these advantages, it is likewise in contemplation to render the work a repository of descriptive topographical and historical facts respecting the circumjacent country from which the views were taken; but to give full effect to this part of his undertaking, the author must solicit the assistance of every citizen, who is possessed of authentic information, whether relating to the Natural history, or to the memorable events, connected with the respective engraving. The map of the tour will exhibit the relative situation of the views, as well with respect to each other as to the principal Cities and Towns of the several States, commencing at the city of Washington.
As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be improper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American manufacture, and of the best quality. Oct. 25 2awtf
Twelve drawings are ready, and the utmost dispatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alluded to, the following may be mentioned: 1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of the President of the United States. 2. Philadelphia. 3. City of Washington. 4. New-York, &c. &c. &c. It is the design of the Author to finish those objects first, which are most important and interesting; and if the Public patronage shall prove adequate to the expence, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 Views, more than the number contained in the present Proposals. In that case, however, the first set of Views will be so arranged, as to form either an independent work for those, who may not wish to renew their subscriptions, or a series connected with the second set for those, who may wish to continue their patronage till the whole is completed.
Letters or other communications for the encouragement, elucidation, or improvement of the work, the Author requests may be addressed to him at New-York. Subscriptions are received by Mr. Harrison, at his Print-shop, Maiden Lane, New-York by Mr. Carey, Bookseller, No. 118, Market Street, Philadelphia, and by all the principal Booksellers in the United States.
