From the Columbian Centinel.
MR. RUSSELL,
What would be the feelings of the citizens of Boston, were they to see in a London paper the following paragraph—“IMPORTANT—IF TRUE?” We learn from Boston, that a fire broke out in that town, on the morning of the 30th July, when seven large manufactories of cordage and near one hundred houses and buildings, with immense quantities of stores and furniture were destroyed!—“Cura?”—Would they not think that the animal who could thus exult over human misery, was much fitter to toil on a West-India plantation, than to dwell in civilized society?
HUMANITAS.
From the Columbian Centinel.
MR. RUSSELL,
What is the use and advantage of clubs?—If there be none, honest men whom candor will not deny to be found among the clubbists, should renounce them. For honest men will see and confess, that if there be no use, there is much abuse resulting from them.
The pretence (it is not argument) is, that by meeting together, political information is collected and diffused. This supposes that a club has means of information, which the people in general have not. How do they get it, and when? Before they meet in club, or at club? If before, why should not the information be published, and then the whole people will be a club to weigh and examine it.—How do they get intelligence, in consequence of club connections? Is a man the wiser for joining a club, all of whom individually are destitute of information. No, the pretence is ridiculous. A few spouters, fame says, declaim against government, and take the Chronicle, which they had before filled with their own rant, as authority. Is this information, or misinformation? Ignorance may thus be made too angry to be enlightened, and prejudice may be doubly a tyrant over the mind; but information is to be obtained in no such way.
To establish facts, we usually enquire for witnesses who know them, and who are honest and impartial. The clubbists are not such; they are chiefly composed of men who from the first were enemies of the Constitution. Their hatred of it may suggest to them numberless opinions, all tending to make others hate it; but what peculiar advantage do they possess over others for knowing facts?—None. Perhaps their correspondence with the insurgent societies, in other states, may enlighten them. And are the lies, many of them incredibly gross and stupid, which were made by dozens during the late most interesting session of Congress, to be called information.
But why should they assemble in the club, to get fresh intelligence, which is already in the hands of the public? If they carry on more secret cabals and intrigues, such as they are obliged to conceal; why should not CATALINE brag as well of his patriotism as they? They meet in the night, and their doings are wrapped in more secrecy than in darkness. An honest inquisitiveness for political truth has no need of skulking and disguise. O guilt, what miserable excuses do you not set up! But what occasion for clubs to collect and examine all the documents for a sound judgment. Men should judge for themselves and not pin their faith on the vote of a club, as if a parcel of men could throw their real private opinions into a common flock, and think as the major vote may direct.
If the citizens think proper to meet and consult, what better club can be desired than a town meeting, where all is day light, and the law has regulated the proceedings in such a manner as to secure to every man his fair and equal privilege. To talk of clubs in New-England, is worse than nonsense.
It is often said that all men have a right to meet and consult in a peaceable orderly way. But is this the orderly way in our country, where better legal and known ways are in use.
Left some thin pretext should be seized, it is to be observed by way of explanation that it is not the right but the tendency of clubs that is in discussion. Suppose, for arguments sake the strict right to meet in clubs is admitted; yet it is not the existence, but the abuse of the right that is urged. An abuse that must flow in such a country from such a source.
These clubs affect to be popular societies. They are not so. They are aristocratic. For what is their power and influence but usurped and exercised in derogation and sometimes in total destruction of the equal rights of others.
When we talk of a republican government, what do we mean by it? A government derived from the people and vested in their representatives, either directly or indirectly. In this way, the people govern, and a man would be thought to want common sense who should say the people could govern in any other way. Yet our clubbists pretend to be advocates for the power of the people; when they openly affect to check, guide and influence public measures in some other way, a way in which neither the people nor their representatives can have any agency. Is this not remarkable for impudence or inconsistency?
Every body knows that the Insurgent Clubs are used not for their information but their political influence. The real intention of their formation is best explained by their proceedings. And who is weak enough to suppose they were made for any thing but the dirty uses they are put to. Is this political influence of Clubs, then popular, or aristocratical?
Perhaps if a society of men were divided into bodies called Clubs, and those so regulated as to act equally and fairly, order might be preferred. But that would be a dispute about names. Our towns are virtually such sections of the society. It is easy to see however that if part only of the citizens are formed into Clubs, and the others remain unassociated, the Clubs though a minority would have an over-riding influence—and that excess of influence would be unfair, and utterly repugnant to the nature of an equal republican government. By thus combining together, a few may ever perplex and mislead the many. In a word, it is an aristocratical partnership, the object of which is to increase the power of the associates and to annul or overcome the power of their competitors.
A body of nobles are not to be distinguished from a Club, as it respects the nature of their power. They like the Club claim more than an equal share of power. The impudence of the popular pretensions of these societies is therefore no less to be wondered at, than the tendency of their schemes is to be dreaded. We see, although it is thro' a glass darkly, who they are and what they do—the most credulous, the most worthless, and the most restless men in society glide through the gloom of night to a place of meeting. There we may believe from what we know, the nature of those transactions which are hid from us. Is it, or is it not known to the public, that they propagate and probably fabricate calumnies against men and measures, that they agree on town committees, drafts of resolutions, and the candidates for elections, that they cabal to carry points; and that they so carry them. Are the country people the better secured in their privileges, when they find their votes are guided or rendered null and void by the dark cabals in the cities?
Another pretence is, that Clubs check the tendency of the constituted authorities to excess and abuse; and that they virtually soften the rigor of government, and increase the popular influence upon it. But though it may be true that they augment the power of party over the laws and the legislators, they diminish and obstruct that of the whole people; a point that has been illustrated already. The former part of the plea for Clubs is no less sophistical and false.
We agree that we will do with as little government as we can. The less, the better, but still there must be enough to secure peace, liberty and safety. Now a body of orderly, moral, well principled citizens will do with very little government. The discontented and licentious may wish to disturb the rights of the others; but if they are not embodied into clubs, the orderly good citizens will in a great measure take upon them the office of the laws, and by watching, checking and keeping in awe those who are inclined to be unjust and turbulent, they will prevent offences and tumults. New-England has been long in that happy state; during the first years of the war, good habits and principles took the place of good laws, which then we had not.
Suppose, the turbulent men instead of being separate and dispersed, were embodied into armies, or clubs, which are no less active means of disturbance. Is it not plain that all good citizens would call out for more law and government to protect them—they would say, we are not embodied, as the stirrers up of sedition are. We must have the controlling power of our own laws strong enough actually to controul these strong combinations.
Thus our consistent clubbists, affect to make government less by augmenting the necessity for more. Thus it is, that strong parties are always aiming to make
government weaker than themselves. For when the constituted authorities are weak, the usurped authorities of clubs and combinations are strong. The government becomes their tool, and instead of being the People's, it is the club's. Thus the few bring it about to rule the many. Experience speaks in another country, where she has written her lesson in blood.
When a party can possess itself of the government, it will not spare the governed. It is their own power which they would not have resisted or curtailed. The way to introduce despotism, is by disorganizing government; and of all ways of effecting this, clubs are the most efficient. They can use such a language of liberty, while they act the part of the tyrant, that no conspirator against equal right, will in future fit up without their aid. They are what the people never can be, precisely what the enemies of the people would fain be to be.

USE OF BALLOONS.
A letter from an officer in the Duke of York's army, dated Merchem, on the way to Antwerp, July 7, has the following curious passage. Speaking of the surrender of Charleroi, he says, “What rendered this event more extraordinary was, that the French directed all their operations according to the information they received by the means of Balloons suspended in the air, at a certain height. From that elevation, all the motions of the allied army were seen and made known to the French Generals by Engineers who went up in the Balloons; and who, according to the declaration of deserters, sketched the position of their enemy, and communicated the paper on which their sketches were made, and other notices given of the force and movements of Prince Cobourg's army. Owing to this, all the amazing efforts of the allies miscarried, because every thing was foreseen and provided against.”

ELIZABETHTOWN, October 2.
Every American who contemplates the distresses of Europe, cannot but derive singular pleasure and satisfaction from the scenes of his own country. Here are observed the blessed effects of religion, peace, and order. There, the deadly consequences that flow from infidelity, war and anarchy. Here, the law reigns supreme, we obey no man, but as he is the organ that declares the will of the whole, previously settled and promulgated by all the people, in their just and equal representation. There, tyranny and despotism, with all the instruments of death and torture, are sacrificing millions to the caprice of lawless will. Here, the arts flourish, and the land well cultivated produces an abundant supply for man and beast; improvements in agriculture are constantly meeting the wants of an increased population of cities, and far distant from these we behold the desert, and the wilderness blossoming as the rose. There the skilful artificer and the industrious husbandman are dragged from the shop and the plough to the dreadful scenes of war and destruction—whole cities burnt and prostrated with the ground, and their peaceful inhabitants suffering death individually, or in hundreds from the ax, or the ball, as shall happen to suit the capricious cruelty of their tyrants.
The soil uncultivated no longer yields her increase, and famine joins with tyranny and anarchy to desolate the land and murder its inhabitants—What will be the end of these things in the old world is beyond the ken of human sagacity. Religion and humanity oblige all who feel their influence, to pray that anarchy and despotism may soon cease—that peace and order may be restored to a bleeding and distracted world.

LANCASTER, October 1.
Saturday morning his Excellency the Governor, accompanied by General James Rofs, his Aid-de-Camp, and Mr. Dallas his Secretary, left off for York Town, Harrisburgh and Carlisle.
Thursday morning, three troops of Philadelphia horse under the command of Captain Dunlap, Singer and McConnell set off from this town for the westward.
On Friday evening 10 pieces of Artillery arrived here under an escort of Continental troops; next morning they set off for York Town, on their way to the westward.
Saturday forenoon arrived here, a detachment of general Proctor's brigade from Philadelphia, under the Command of Major Fisher, Captains Thompson, Seidle, and Nice. Colonel Gurney's regiment, consisting of Capt. Nelson's and captain Culicks grenadiers—and five other companies, under the command of the following captains, to wit: Price, Ahmead, Scott, Lawrence, Carlson, and Anthony; together with two other companies, under the command of Major McPherson, and captains Baynton, and McEwen. Sunday morning the companies under the command of Major McPherson took their route to the westward; the other companies left on the same route on Monday morning.
Yesterday forenoon the Lancaster troop under the command of Major-General Hand, set off for Carlisle, to join the troops going against the insurgents; and this morning they were followed by a company of volunteer infantry, under the command of capt. Mosher; they were all elegantly equipped, and appeared in high spirits.
The quota of Militia required for this borough and county, being also completed, will proceed on their march to-morrow.
CARLISLE, Sept. 24.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Hagerstown, dated 21st. instant, to a gentleman in this town.
“I believe you were here when the first liberty pole as it was called was set up and cut down—the Monday following about 50 inhabitants of the town under the command of Henry Bowart, and about 250 from the country commanded by George Hoffman, Peter Baker, and Adam Thorr, assembled armed with guns, swords, and clubs, in a very riotous manner to oppose the draft, and set up another pole, which they did in Court House square, and guarded it several nights—the same week great exertions were made by their leaders to recruit men to march to Fredericktown, and I have not a doubt but they would have collected 1000 men had not the Fredericktown people got notice of their intentions, and armed themselves to the number of 500, and entrenched themselves about the magazine, which appeared to be the object of the rioters; this intelligence alarmed so many of them that the number which collected at the place of rendezvous on the mountain on Monday evening last was but 90 men, who concluded it prudent to disperse and return home.”
“On Wednesday a party of horsemen collected at this place and went out, took about 20 of the leaders, the next day 300 militia arrived here from Frederick, Baltimore and Montgomery, and parties of horse have been constantly out since, and are now out bringing the rioters in, the principal leaders are imprisoned, some of an inferior class bound over to court, and others discharged—there are very few persons of any character or property involved in the business. I believe if we had 1000 muskets the business might have been stopped at the beginning—there is now upwards of 500 armed militia here from below.”

“A Mr. M'Kenzie of the northwest company of this place has returned from his discovery of the Western ocean; he took his departure from Lake Arbabka the beginning of May, 1793 and returned to it in September following after falling in with the ocean about 30 miles northward of Nootka found, Mr. Metcalf, whose family lives in Albany) had failed from thence only 9 days before Mr. M'Kenzie arrived, and had he had the good fortune to meet that gentleman, it was his intention to have gone to China and thence to London; about half way between Arbabka Lake and Nootka he crossed a large high mountain covered with snow but when he descended into the plain he discovered a rich and fertile country, well watered: at the foot of the mountain he embarked on a large fine river the course of which he followed for two days, but finding it took a southerly direction he quitted it and took a more northerly route till he came in upon other rivers, that bro't him to his journey's end.”

BOSTON, Sept. 27.
In Yesterday's Chronicle we had a pompous account of the several descriptions of Citizens (said to be 400) which compose the Constitutional Society so called, now the public would be gratified to know how many there are of “Civil and Military Officers of the State Members of the Senate and House of Representatives. Gentlemen of the board of Selectmen and Overseers, Merchants of Fortune and of great commercial professions old Committees of Correspondence, Officers and Soldiers of the late Continental Levees, Justices and Constables, Manufacturers and Mechanics” belonging to it; it is shrewdly suspected that a particular account would reveal that given by Falstaff in the play of the number of Robbers that beset him—it is truly laughable to find several leg'd in head and shoulders and under different descriptions—A Senator Merchant of Fortune Manufacturer and Mechanic—he counts for four—a member of the House of Representatives Justice of the Peace, Selectmen and Officer in old Continental line, he also counts for four—Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, County Officer, late military officer of the state, Justice of the Peace, Selectman and Mechanic—he counts for six; so that three from the variety of professions which they sustain are multiplied to fourteen.
Go on redoubtable fires in your cookery hide your names eternally from the public view, and continue if you please to tell the Story of “Sinbad the Sailor,” but be assured that your works will follow you and that the People of America, composed of 4,000,000, will never be dedicated to by ‘400.’
A facetious correspondent informs us that the celebrated Thomas Paine, was considered by many intelligent people in England, to be the best occultist that country ever gave birth to; for he had opened the eyes of JOHN BULL with out couching, or making use of another instrument than the point of pen!
The Regent of Portugal, has ordered a squadron of five ships of the line, to reinforce the English fleet.
In Revolutionary times it is hazardous to celebrate any particular men! an instance of this hazard has been lately experienced by a “citizen” ship owner of this town, who, when the wind blew a-la-Genet, named a ship after that Brissotine. Unfortunately however, when the ship was entering Bourdeaux river, so say reports, the Captain finding that the name and head of his ship were unpopular, and might endanger the vessel, took the precaution to give the eidavant Ambassador a black face, and crasing the name from the stern, the figure passed very well for an African, or an aborigine of American. Peradventure the Robespierre may share the same fate.

CAMP, near Carlisle, Tuesday Sept. 30.
(Extract of a Letter.)
“We arrived here on Sunday at 2 o'clock, and encamped at the back of the town—near us lay the Jersey troops.”
“Nothing material has occurred, except that yesterday a detachment of 20 horse (of which I was one) under adjutant Jacob Cox, was dispatched with a constable at their head, to take several of those who are here called Whiskey Boys—Two were taken, but some others, having notice of our approach, escaped. One of the dragon's pistols went off by accident, and shot a man in the groin, of which he since died: He was brother to one of the persons we were in pursuit of, and during a parley at a farm-house, the accident happened.”
“The two persons we brought in were last night examined by the Attorney-General, which proved their inveteracy to the government, and it is probable some of these gentry will soon suffer for their ill judged enmity to the best of countries and mildest of governments.”
“We rode through the woods in various directions in pursuit of these jockies; those we took did not appear

much concerned. At Harrisburgh we found a flag erected with the words Liberty and Equality on it, which we left standing as we found it; and here is an high pole with a red flag on it, describing the number of counties combined in the opposition.
"This day we began to cook, which is one of the most troublesome parts of our duty. As yet we have lived very happily, no disturbance having happened since we left the city. The event of the campaign appears to be quite unforeseen; No. one pretends to say how long we shall stay here, but I believe it will be until the infantry and artillery arrive, which will be some days first. In the mean time parties will be dispatched to apprehend those who have been most active in the mischief, and I suppose they will be tried under the act of treason."
Philadelphia, Sept. 20th, 1794.
Sir,
AS my executive duties, in compliance with the President's requisition, for embodying the militia against the Western Insurgents, will require my absence for some time from the city. I have informed the Mayor, that should any emergency arise, you will cheerfully comply with any lawful application which he shall make for supporting the civil authority, by competent drafts from the Militia of your division. You will be pleased, therefore, Sir, to pay a proper attention to the subject; and I am confident that your exertions in concert with the Mayor's to ensure the peace and order of the city, will be a source of great consolation to our Fellow-Citizens, who have left their property and families, to vindicate the laws of their country.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS MIFFLIN.
To Major General Walter Stewart.
Philadelphia, Sept. 20th, 1794.
Sir,
THE attention to my Executive duties, under the President's requisition, for embodying the militia against the Western Insurgents, unavoidably compels me to be absent for some time from Philadelphia; and as some unexpected emergency may arise during that period, I have thought proper to direct Major General Stewart to comply with any lawful request which you shall make, as Chief Magistrate of the city, for the aid of the Militia of his division to support the civil authority. Left any supplies of ammunition should be clandestinely transported to the Insurgents. I have likewise, instructed the Superintendent of the Gun-Powder Magazine, to deliver no Powder without your previous approbation.
These arrangements being made with a view to the peace and safety of the Commonwealth, will I am persuaded receive all the sanction that you can officially give them.
I am, with great esteem,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS MIFFLIN.
To The Mayor of the City of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, August 20th, 1794.
Sir,
THE state of our public affairs renders it necessary, that no Gun-Powder should be delivered from the Magazines, without some satisfactory proof, that it is not intended to be used in an unlawful manner. I have, therefore, requested the Mayor of the City, to examine every application; and without his approbation, you will be pleased to suspend a compliance with any application for the delivery of Gun-Powder.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS MIFFLIN.
The Superintendent of the Gun-Powder magazine or his Deputy.
Philadelphia, Sept. 20th, 1794.
Sir,
MY Executive duties, under the President's requisition for embodying the militia in opposition to the Western Insurgents, will require my absence for some time from Philadelphia. Permit me, therefore to request particular attention to the Rules prescribed for preserving the peace and neutrality of the Port; should you at any time be at a loss for authority and instructions, it may be advisable to consult the Mayor or Recorder of the city.
Be pleased to communicate this letter to the Board.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS MIFFLIN.
To Nathaniel Falconer, Esquire, Master Warden of the Port of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Sept. 22, 1794.
Sir,
Should any emergency arise, I have directed the commanding officer at Fort Mifflin to apply to you for a reinforcement of his garrison, by such drafts from the Militia, as shall from time to time, be necessary to preserve the peace and neutrality of the Port. You will be pleased, therefore, to attend to any application of that kind: But if the service will admit of it, I wish the drafts to be made from the militia of Delaware County, whose quota for the western expedition, has with that view, been made proportionably small. In case you shall find that arrangement proper and practicable, you will suggest it to Gen. Humphton who commands the Division of militia, that includes the Delaware Brigade.
I am,
Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS MIFFLIN.
To Major General Stewart.
Philadelphia, Sept. 22, 1794.
Sir,
I have left the quota of Delaware County, for the western expedition, proportionably small, with a view to draw from the militia of that Brigade any reinforcement that may be thought necessary to enable the Garrison at Fort Mifflin, to preserve effectually the peace and neutrality of the Port. In the first instance, however, the nature of the service will require an application to Major General Stewart, the Commander of the First Division—and if he finds it proper and practicable to draft any force, which an emergency may require, from your Division, he is requested to refer the subject to you with all possible dispatch.
The discharge of some important executive duties will require my absence, for some time, from the seat of government; but I have made such arrangements as will, I am persuaded, prevent any impediment or injury in transacting the public business. As far as rests with you, I rely upon a prompt and faithful assistant.
I am,
Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS MIFFLIN.
To Major General Richard Hampton, commanding the 2d Division of the Militia of the Counties of Delaware and Chester.
Secretary's Office, Sept. 22, 1794.
Dear Sir,
Inclosed you will receive the orders for the commanding officer at Fort Mifflin to obey your instructions, during the Governor's absence.
I am, sincerely,
Yours,
A. J. DALLAS, Secretary. To Nathaniel Falconer, Master Warden.
Philadelphia, 22d, Sept. 1794.
Sir,
During my absence from the city, on the necessary executive duties connected with the western expedition, you will be pleased to comply with such instructions as you shall from time to time receive from the Master Warden of the Port.
Should any emergency arise, General Stewart will reinforce your garrison with a competent draft from the militia. To him, therefore, in such an event you will apply.
I am,
Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS MIFFLIN.
To Captain Rice, or to the Officer commanding Fort Mifflin.
Philadelphia, Sept. 22, 1794.
GENTLEMEN,
The discharge of some important executive duties, connected with the western expedition, will require my absence from the City for some time; but confiding in your vigilance and judgment, I leave it without any apprehension that the Public Health will be exposed to any injury.
If however, any cases should occur of danger from vessels arriving, either from foreign or domestic ports, you will be pleased to order such quarantine to be observed; and pursue such other cautionary measures, as you shall think necessary, without waiting for the publication of a proclamation.
I am Gentlemen,
With great esteem, Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS MIFFLIN.
To the Inspectors, Health-Office, and the Resident and Consulting Physician, of the Health-Office of the Port of Philadelphia.

BALTIMORE, October 2.
The committee of health appointed for Baltimore-Town and Point, conceiving that great injury may ensue from the false and exaggerated accounts daily propagated, concerning the number of deaths in said town and precincts; think it their duty to inform the public, that after the most accurate and diligent enquiry, they find that 344 persons have died in the months of August and September last; among these a considerable number were children, who were taken off by the small-pox and other complaints; many of the adults died of diseases usual at this season; and although the mortality has been great for some weeks past, yet the committee can with confidence say, that the number of sick is lessened considerably; and, from the present happy change of weather, they flatter themselves the health of the town will be speedily re-established. The committee intend to publish every day the number of deaths during the preceding twenty-four hours, and mention the name of each person deceased, if possible.
The committee have observed two letters lately published in the Philadelphia papers, said to be written by a physician in Baltimore, and cannot avoid reproaching the conduct of the author, and viewing him as a young man desirous of establishing his own reputation at the expence of truth, and of the town in which he lives.
Six persons have died this day, three of whom were children.
Guthlacus Scott, George Salmon, Joseph Townsend, Alexander M c Kim, Jeff Hollingsworth, Thomas Johnson, Thomas Dickson.

From Correspondents.
The sublimity of the republican governmental maxims, while it marks profound wisdom in the great men who have developed them, and interwoven them in a theory, likewise explains the necessity of good sense and much reflection, in the individuals of our society. Without a constant exercise of these, how can the people understand the practical and just application of them. It is laid down, in a late celebrated law case, by the Chief Justice of America, as a principle, that the sovereignty of the country is in the citizens, and that they are joint tenants of this sovereignty. Without an accurate comprehension of this principle, and a virtuous and enlightened use of it, in the regulation of personal and political rights, the wildest confusion, and the boldest ambition would rend the country, with all the horrors of anarchy and civil war! If properly understood, our duty which would flow from it, for all truths form obligations , would be this—In the exercise of individual rights under the constitution, regard must be had to the equal rights of others—for instance; in the exercise of liberty of speech and of the press , a virtuous caution would prescribe a moderate style of discussion; and all hasty and crude opinions would be restrained as an abuse of the right, as they might do an injury to the country, or to the joint tenants in the sovereignty.—Let a citizen, vicious, dishonest, bold, and ignorant, know that he is one of the sovereigns of the country, and he will feel none of the sentiments of the sovereign, but the unnatural and seditious thirst of personal power, and self government, and will probably exert his right contrary to the exalted theory to which that principle just now mentioned, belongs. Let us not only preserve the sublime and beautiful theory we now enjoy, but likewise endeavor to diffuse that knowledge of its delicate nature, in which alone it can be secured from the violence of vice, and the rude touches of ignorance.
What can be a more complete illustration of an abuse of the inestimable privilege of a free press, than the writing of some body who signs himself Atticus , in the Philadelphia papers—at such a moment of internal convulsion to publish such a piece, is like permitting a quack to make experiments on a disordered state of health—to see how much poison the patient will bear! What would be done to a miscreant in a large city, who during the efforts of the citizens to extinguish a raging fire, should be detected in pouring buckets of oil into an engine instead of water!
If it is the base interest of any foreign nation to see us thrown into confusion, and of course weakness, just at this critical state of our national affairs, is it not to be expected that they would employ scribblers, like Atticus , as to add to our disorders, by the publication of poisonous pieces? Thus converting an engine of great good, a free press, into a machine of destruction.

JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale at Mathew Carey's Store, No. 148, Market Street, Price half a dollar, embellished with a striking likeness of Mr. Margaret, The TRIAL OF Maurice Margarot, Before the High Court of Judiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for SEDITIOUS 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 latest views and objects of the British convention; and proves incontrovertibly, that judicial prosecutions (or persecutions) and decisions are now more the result of the present order of things, than any old fashion ed 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, unassailed 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 crea. re of a corrupt government."

Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers only, 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 mile square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergymen 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 this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eodgm
