Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers 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.

FROM realm to realm, with craft or present crown'd,
Where'er mankind and misery are found,
O'er burning sands, deep swamps, or wilds of snow,
Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe.
Down many a winding step to dungeons dank,
Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank;
To caves bestrew'd with many a mould'ring bone,
And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan;
—Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire,
And mut'ring demons hate him, and admire.

STRANGE times these, my dear readers—What would have been said in the reign of king George, had a paltry Shoemaker presumed to write in the News-papers?—“Mercy on us! why the very stones in the street will begin to cry out next!”—But the world is getting strangely topsy-turvy—We poor vulgar tradesmen and labourers, thanks to Mr. PAINE, and General WASHINGTON! begin to hold up our heads, and look about us.
The great stage of the world is at present crowded with actors, and with busy and important scenes—scenes which in their tendency and effects come home to the bosoms of us all; and as somebody observes, “We are not flocks and stowes.”—I am no leader or promoter of factions; I stay indolently in my shop, and do not run about among my quiet neighbours, to set on foot clubs and societies. But though I do not presume to dictate to Congress and President WASHINGTON through the channel of a society, I have now and then a whim in my noddle, and cannot rest till it is out. I had always a huge liking to the quill, and an itching to appear in print, though I am a poor humble mechanic.
I hope it will not be expected that I am going to undertake to write an essay upon government, or to enlist in any party dispute about it;—no such thing. When a notion takes me in the head, my way is (if I think it may be of any service to mankind) to put it out, in my own simple way; and, sink or swim, leave it to bear its own weight. If it does the world any good, ye are welcome; if any body disputes me, and offers to enter the lists with me—I thank you for nothing; I am off—I have only told the world what I thought, and you have a right to do the same; why should we quarrel?
I pretend not to rank myself very high as a politician; I profess to be able to tell whether the government under which I live be a good or a bad one; and to distinguish, in its variations, when it is good, and when bad. But this I do by observing its effects, and not by scrutinizing the structure of the machine, and finding which wheel is too large, or too small, or out of place. I look at the degree at which the mercury stands on the scale of the political thermometer. They tell a great deal about “Aristocracy,” and “Democracy.” I shall not venture into the subject of these; all I know about them is what I have accidentally learned from News-papers, and the conversation of others, that an Aristocracy is an oppressive, and of course, a bad government; and a Democracy, a free and a good one; and consequently that an Aristocrat as they call him, is a bad man, and a Democrat a good man. I have, however, formed some more particular notions of these characters, and shall hereafter take the liberty of stating them.
I beseech the gentle reader to afford me his candour. I did intend to have introduced myself to him a little more handsomely, and to have made my entrance as an author with something of a flourish; but NED NIPPER dont understand your congresses and your compliments; he must rely upon plain solid sentiment for success.
From the Western Star.
THE CORDWAINER.—No. 2.
I am going to tell what my notions are about Aristocrats and Democrats. People differ, I find, in their ideas, widely. I have heard many called by the first name, who were not so, by any means, in my view; and others call themselves by the second, whom I could not allow to be such.
When I see a man blustering and fuming about the extravagance and mismanagement of our Governors and Legislators, and damaging the inequalities which exist in the State, the avarice of office, and the oppressions and sufferings of the people, I view this man at all points, to discover whether his actual conduct in life corresponds with his pretensions; for on this I most rely. I will instance one of my neighbors, under the name of MARO, to illustrate this.
MARO is a man of much property. He has within a few years purchased a farm not far from where I live. When he purchased, there were a number of small plantations adjoining it, owned by persons who were just setting out in the world, and had very little property, MARO had set up a store of goods in the neighbourhood, and gave large credit. Nothing was more natural than for these people to be getting this, that and the other, at the store, and MARO was very patient about his pay. MARO in this was accounted a nice man. It had gone on so for several years—when a sudden exigency made it necessary for MARO to realize immediately all his outstanding debts. This, to be sure, was putting his customers to their trumps, who had thought but very little how or when they were going to pay, and whose accounts proved to be (no impeachment to MARO’s honesty) much larger than they expected. In short, their farms were given up into the hands of MARO—and where used to stand their plank cottages and log huts, their little clean door yards and gardens, the passenger now sees the full barracks and the inclosures of cattle, belonging to the unfeeling MARO. Now this man may say what he pleases, and
be a member of all the Democratical Societies in the union, I shall always call him an Aristocrat.
It is otherwise, with MENTOR, another of my neighbors. MENTOR is called the Aristocrat by many, because he disapproves of Democratic Societies, speaks disrespectfully of Genet, and his followers, and is warm in the praises of President Washington, Secretary Hamilton, and federal measures. He is never heard to vent any complaints against the administration, or to insinuate that there is corruption at helm. MENTOR, in his private life, is the very reverse of MARO. How often have I known him to exert himself, even to the material injury of his own interest, to assist and relieve a poor man in some exigence, in which he was in danger of being ruined! He too has a neighbourhood of people; but instead of entrapping their property, and contriving means to root them out, much of his time and his income is employed to relieve their necessities, to aid them in the improvement of their small farms, and to enlighten their minds on subjects suited to their capacities. He is a father to them, and they love and respect him like children. They may say what they will, this is the man that I call a Democrat.
I have met both one and the other, now and then, of an evening, at the Inn; MARO curses MENTOR for an infernal Aristocrat; MENTOR thinks MARO’s darling societies, and his violent politics, will do his country no benefit; and forbears to add anymore.
PARIS.
MADAME Elizabeth, the ill-fated sister of Louis XVI, fell a victim to the sanguinary system of republicanism on the 10th of May. She was followed to the scaffold by twenty-five persons, condemned at the same time, but was not suffered to fall under the wedge of the fatal axe till the heads of all her fellow sufferers had been struck off; and she died indeed the last of all. That amiable and most virtuous Princess did not suffer for any crimes of her own, but for the offence of others, which were falsely imputed to her. The revolutionary tribunal itself considered her death, as a political necessity.
Having ascended the scaffold, she immediately cast up her eyes to Heaven, and prostrate on her knees, wringing her hands, demanded of the King of Kings that fortitude which the horrors of her situation had rendered so necessary. Having continued in prayer till the moment when she was to submit her head to the enfeebled instrument, she advanced with perfect resignation, with a kind of heroism inspired by religion, and perfectly resigned to the decree of Providence.
Though she bled the last among her 25 fellow sufferers, she displayed a courage, a fortitude, superior to them all.
In her prayer, she resembled the celebrated Magdalen of Le Brun, which used formerly to be an object of admiration to the curious in the church of the Carmelites at Paris.
When she was passing in the cart thro’ Rue St. Honore, several attentive spectators could discern even in the eyes of her executioner an expression of pity which in similar cases rises often superior to constraint.
The people accustomed to such spectacles, saw this scene of horror with great tranquillity and at the conclusion shouted, long live the republic!
Thus died the virtuous Elizabeth Philipina Maria of France after having lived with a most spotless reputation, 30 years and seven days.
Legislature of Pennsylvania.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, September 10.
A bill was reported to suppress the insurrection in the western counties. Ordered for a second reading to morrow.
A member had leave to read in his place a bill to enable a number of free men of the first election district of Northumberland county to hold the election in the town of Sunbury, the court being to be held there at the time of election.—Ordered for a second reading on Saturday.
The petition of Oliver Evans was called up and referred to Messrs. J. Shoemaker, Ross and Lower.
A member read in his place a bill to raise by lottery the sum of 7500 dollars for the purpose of erecting a college house for the use of Dickinson college.
Upon a motion to make it the order of the day for an early day, Mr. M c Lene observed, that the bill read was before the house at the last session, and had now been taken from the files; and that as the house had already resolved
not to take up the old business, he concurred in the motion improper.
Mr. Evans conceived the resolution alluded to could not bear the construction on which the member would put it. The question agitated in the house was, whether a committee should be appointed to bring forward the unfinished business. This the house judged would be premature as the Gov. had not then communicated to the house the business for which the legislature were convened; but it was not intended by the vote given on that question to preclude a member from bringing forward, according to the rules of the house, business which he thought worthy their attention.
Mr. M c Lene added some words in reply.
Mr. Swanwick conceived that while the special business of the session was in progress it was the duty of the legislature to improve every interval of leisure; and certainly no subject could have a stronger claim to the attention of the house than that of education. Probably the want of knowledge and information in the mass of inhabitants in the western counties may be justly regarded as a principal cause of the present unwarrantable proceedings in that quarter. To this subject, he should, most probably, before the close of the session, himself call the attention of the legislature and solicit their aid in behalf of the academy of Philadelphia.
The bill was finally ordered for a second reading on Friday next.
The answer to the governor’s address, as reported by the committee was agreed to.
The report of the committee on the land office was called up, amended, agreed to and a committee appointed to bring in a bill.
Adjourned.

THE RURAL BEAUTY, A VILLAGE ODE.
LIFT the window, lift it high— Who is that that’s tripping by?— It is my little sprightly Sue, With pouting lip and eye so blue, Dimpled cheek and cloven chin, Taper arms, and waist so thin, O’er her neck her tresses frown, Curl’d by nature’s hand alone. It is my lovely shepherdess, I know her by her simple dress, Her raven skirt and sash of blue, Her stockings white, and coal black shoe, Her milk white gown, all pin’d so fast, It seems to love the waist it clasps. Yes—’tis she—I know her by Her jaunty beaver, o’er her eye, While the nodding plume above Seems to beck me on to love. Yes, I come, my tempting Sue, See the smiles to meet me too. Now my arms her waist entwine; Now her hand is lock’d in mine; Now we to the meadows stray; Plod, dull care, thy own highway! Now, eve’s stillness soothes the ear, See, the half-orb’d moon appear; Now it mounts with majesty, Skirts with light the fleecy sky. Chequering all the sylvan scene; In the rivulet breaks it’s beam. By the mantling pool we rove; Hear the cooings of the Dove; Hear, intranc’d upon the plain, The Jamness of the Night-hawk’s strain. Now we scent the fragrant thyme, Sweet fern and the eglantine. Then, I vow, her breath excels, All the fragrance, that she smells. Then, I point to Sue afar, Planet red—and twinkling star. Then we view the gemmy crowds, Now gleam—now lost in flitting clouds. Vow my Susy’s eyes more bright, Than yon fairest star of night; Vow, that all their shining host Fail to count the joys I boast; Then, between each chasen’d kiss, Tell the tale of future bliss, When my Sue shall be my bride, And grace my cottage fire side. Then I whisper wedlock’s joys; Future group of girls and boys,— Girls and boys as fair, as Sue, Honest as their father too;— Now I feel her pulses beat— She burns me with her blushing cheek. S.
UNITED STATES.
LANSINGBURGH, Sept. 2.
A gentleman recently from Canada, informs that the uneasiness there still prevails; he further adds, that the inhabitants are almost all armed, and their arms secreted. The same gentleman, after he arrived at Plattsburgh, which was about 12 days since, had the following very melancholy story related to him, by the first character of that place.—That a few nights previous to the relation, a party who appeared to be Indians, attacked the house of Captain Nathaniel Mallory, distant about 17 miles from Plattsburgh, and very remote from settlements, while a part of the family, Mrs. M. and two workmen were up, and at supper. The men hearing an uncommon rustling about the house were much alarmed, and flew to secure the door, and Mrs. M. to a cellar hole under the floor; another workman who had gone to bed also hearing the noise, and suspecting the cause
resolved on leaping from the chamber window; but soon recollected that his safety lay in remaining still in his position until the house should have been set on fire, or they attempt to search the upper room; this he could timely discover, as the cracks in the floor favored him with a sight of all that passed in the room below, and the looseness of the stairs would give notice of their approach towards him. The resistance of the men was but short; the enemy entered and immediately put an end to their existence; they then searched the lower rooms and found the children in bed whom they also killed; the last was an infant in the cradle whom they began to torture, probably, expecting thereby to raise the mother by its screams. Mrs. M. however, was enabled to resist maternal emotions that would expose her also to their barbarity; they meeting with no success in that respect quite killed the child, blew out the candle, left the house and shut the door. Mrs. M. still remained in her retreat; the man in the chamber thinking they might possibly lurk round about, determined to remain there in secret until the morning, if possible.
In some time after all was quiet, Capt. M. himself came home, who it seems had been belated; he opened the door, spoke and none answered; he took the candle which he lighted, and on which Mrs. M. left her hiding place, and on beginning to relate what had passed, a volley was discharged through the window which dropped the Captain, and they entered and soon put an end to, as they supposed, the last of the family, and again retired. The man in the chamber continued there until as late in the morning, as he supposed they would stay for fear of discovery, and then made the best of his way for the settlements, when he safely arrived and related as above. A party followed, but being unable to keep the track returned without discovery of any thing.—This intelligence being received through so respectable a channel we are induced to give it full credence.
* * This Indian story appears to be made out of a late Irish story—only they have put the woman into a hole in the cellar, whereas the Irish account placed her in the chimney.
PHILADELPHIA, SEPTEMBER 11.
Yesterday the House of Representatives of the state of Pennsylvania, agreed upon the following answer to the Governor:
To THOMAS MIFFLIN, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
SIR,
The occasion which has called forth the exercise of your constitutional authority, and induced you at this time to convene the General Assembly is at once serious and extraordinary.
A violent and unwarrantable opposition to the laws of the United States in some of the western counties of Pennsylvania, has long been a subject of anxiety and apprehension, but until the present moment that anxiety has been alleviated, and that apprehension diminished by a flattering and delusive hope, that a returning sense of duty would banish from among our fellow-citizens all opposition to the measures of a government founded neither on a fortuitous succession of unconnected events, nor originating from the impure or oppressive fountains of fraud or violence, but resulting from the deliberate and free determination of a numerous and enlightened people, and to the operation of laws imposed neither by the immediate will of despotism, nor obtained by the corrupt influence of power, but flowing from the voice of an equal, universal and unbiased representation.
It must be a cause of the deepest regret to the advocates of freedom and representative government, that those in the full enjoyment of such inestimable blessings, should, alike regardless of their happiness and their duty infringe on the rights of their fellow-citizens, and by violently counteracting the will of a majority, afford examples, fatal to the order and happiness of society; to all the citizens of the Union a more just and peaceable mode of obtaining every necessary alteration has been wisely secured.
If our constitution should prove either deficient or oppressive, it contains within itself the seeds of its own reformation, if laws are either impolitic or unjust, a complaint of our grievances or change of our representation, open the path to every desirable amendment. In countries where the interest and authority of government are distinct from, and independent of the interests and will of the people, insurrections may have been ranked among the most sacred of duties; in ours, who can hesitate to regard it as the most pernicious of crimes?
When however from the misapprehension or depravity of any part of a community, tumult and violence have taken place, it becomes a matter of delicacy and importance, to ascertain how far the restoration of order is to be attempted by means of the civil authority
of the whole, and how soon its physical strength should be called to aid its political strength; this is a subject you have particularly recommended to our deliberations, and although the manifest distinction between open, acknowledged and continued violence, and an opposition, casual, momentary and disavowed, may in some degree point out the general outlines of legislative discrimination, yet from the impossibility of foreseeing and describing future contingencies, much room must be left for the exercise of Executive discretion; you may, however, rely on our utmost attention to the subject, and our sincerest confidence in the just and firm exercise of the authority with which you must necessarily be entrusted. Whatever may have been the public opinion of the competency of the judicial authority of the state at any past time, its incapacity to protect its own peaceable citizens, or to support the officers of the Federal Government, in the execution of their duties, can now no longer be doubted; and should the conciliatory efforts making, under the auspices and by the direction of the President of the United States and the Executive of Pennsylvania, prove ineffectual to restore peace and harmony, we have no reason to doubt that the wise measures adopted by the President, aided by your endeavors to enforce a due obedience to the laws and to repress anarchy and violence, will receive every support that the military strength of this state can afford, but as some amendments in the existing laws regulating the militia appear essentially necessary to give due energy to its exertions, we shall also take this interesting subject into our serious consideration, and from a knowledge of the general character of our constituents we cannot, on this occasion, omit expressing our firmest confidence, that whatever may be their individual sentiments, they will always ultimately submit to, and cheerfully support every existing law.
Having never contemplated the intended settlement and post at Presqu’isle as a probable source of embarrassment to the general government, or a foundation for Indian hostility; but having regarded it as the basis of future improvement, and a point of useful defence to our frontier inhabitants, we looked forward to its progress with pleasing anticipation; but influenced by the same disposition you express to promote the interests of the Union and cultivate the means of peace we trust that on this occasion our measures will evince a candid consideration of the facts and motives which have influenced your official conduct.
A care of the public health and a due regard to the character of the state render a completion of our system for preventing the introduction of pestilential diseases & an alteration in the proceedings of our Land Office, highly important; as it is only by a judicious arrangement of these we can expect a continuance of health or an exemption from the just censures of such as may be incautiously deluded by imaginary purchases of land.
The flourishing situation of our finances affords a subject of congratulation, as it must facilitate the operations of government, & preclude the necessity of recurring to the ordinary means of supporting the public treasury; to render this advantage permanent to our constituents by a proper application of the existing surplus, as it deserves, so shall it receive among the other objects of your Address, a just degree of our care.
ADDRESS delivered yesterday by the GOVERNOR to the MILITIA OFFICERS AND CITIZENS.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
I HAVE convened you upon an occasion, as interesting as any that has occurred since the establishment of our independence, or even during the struggle to obtain it.
You all know the state of the insurrection in the Western Counties. The hostile opposition to government has subverted the power of the judiciary department; and there is reason to apprehend, that every conciliatory effort to recall the insurgents to a sense of the duty that they owe to their country, will prove ineffectual. I declare to you, with the utmost sincerity, that I have been anxious, by every honorable means, to avoid an appeal to arms; but all that the general, or state government can do to restore peace, upon other terms, seems likely to be in vain. Even those who were employed by the insurgents to confer with our commissioners, have acknowledged that nothing more could be expected from government.
Under these circumstances you are called upon to determine, as freemen and as officers, what part you will act. From the defects in the militia system, or some other unfortunate cause, the

attempts to obtain our quota of militia by regular drafts have failed; and unless we can supply the deficiency by voluntary enlistments, the honor of our militia will be tarnished, and the peace of the commonwealth, perhaps, irretrievably destroyed.
Thus reduced to the embarrassment of our present unprepared situation; I do not hesitate to declare, that I consider every patriotic citizen bound to lend an active assistance to the measures of government; but with respect to the militia officers, in particular, I am impelled by the most sacred duty, which a citizen can feel, to require an explicit and immediate declaration of their determination to act at this crisis, or a resignation of their commissions, that others may be appointed to perform the indispensable service which our country demands.
In proposing this alternative to you, gentlemen, I anticipate a decision the most honorable to yourselves, and the most beneficial to the state. I shall, therefore, content myself, in that respect, with enquiring at what time you will be prepared with your quotas to join me in the march to the place of rendezvous. The President's request for immediately assembling the militia of Pennsylvania was received yesterday; and we cannot indulge a moment's delay in complying with it, if we mean to rescue our militia and our government from the disgrace that threatens.
You will be pleased, my fellow citizens, to favor me, freely and candidly, with your sentiments on this occasion. With respect to my own opinion, it is this:—That each officer should endeavour, either by draft, or voluntary enlistments, to raise as many men as he can, before the day fixed for their parading; and that on the day so fixed, they should muster at my tent, which shall be pitched in the neighbourhood of the city, for the purpose of enrolling the men, and instructing the officers in the route. I shall proceed, in the same way, in each county, included in the present requisition, till I have completed the stipulated number; and I trust we shall yet reach the place of rendezvous in time to prevent all hazard of discredit and reproach.
The arms, ammunition, camp equipment, and rations will be punctually and plentifully provided; and I have every reason to believe, that the legislature will enable me to allow an additional pay, or an adequate bounty, for the service to which the militia are now called. Their families will likewise be paid a weekly reasonable sum out of that allowance, from the respective county treasurers.
Let us not, gentlemen, be perplexed by prejudices, or partial considerations, unconnected with the subject. It is no matter of enquiry, at this time, whether any particular acts of Congress are politic or not; whether they ought to be repealed or not: the questions are whether our governments are worth preserving; and if so, whether we will tamely and silently see them destroyed, or openly and firmly appear in support of them. Listen to the language of the Insurgents, and your spirit will rise with indignation. They not only assert that certain laws shall be repealed, let the sense of the majority be what it may, but they threaten us with the establishment of an independent government, or a return to the allegiance of Great Britain. Their cruelty and violence towards Gen. Nevil and Major Lenox. The insults which they offered to the commissioners on the return from their pacific mission, (surrounding their lodgings, and breaking their windows) and the menaces of violence to the family of Gen. Nevil, should the government proceed to enforce obedience to the laws, are circumstances so flagrant, so iniquitous, and so dastardly, that, for my own part, I consider the conduct of the Tories, during the war to have been temperate and magnanimous, compared with the course of the present opposition.
For the honour of the militia, for the sake of the laws, and for the preservation of the Republican principle, let us then, gentlemen, unite; and remember, that if we cannot reform, it is our duty, to correct those, who endeavour to plunder us of every right and privilege, that is dear in the estimation of freemen.
It only remains to repeat my propositions; are you willing to serve your country? to save your constitution? And to assist in rescuing from anarchy, as you did from despotism, the freedom and independence of America? You will not hesitate: then gentlemen when will your quota be ready to attend?
Your immediate decision is necessary to enable me to regulate my tour thro' the other counties.
THOMAS MIFFLIN.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 8.
Extract of a letter from Norfolk, dated August 21.
"We have alternately strange news in this turbulent town; two days since, the Tories had the French nation almost annihilated—their fleets and armies captured and sunk, and tyranny almost triumphant! Truth however, has since tranquillized and relieved the anxiety of our republican citizens. You will observe in a paper which is sent you that the French fleet lost nothing, but gained credit even from an unequal combat of 26 ships against 34, the latter mostly first rates. We have so many violent aristocrats in the place, that if the guillotine was set once agoing, we could give it constant employment for at least twelve months. Since writing the above I have heard from an undoubted channel that a British frigate has captured and sent to Halifax, for legal adjudication, the ship Matthew , from this port, laden with flour for Falmouth, there are several of our capes, of these our friends.—I hear also, that they comply exactly with their orders! It is useless to expatiate upon this villainy, as it is universally admitted as legal—and the licentious "people" must pocket the most unheard of injuries and insult. The crew of the above captured vessel are arrived here, they observe that "they are reconciled from experience in this way."
Extract of a letter from an American captain at Brest, dated 26th June, to his brother in this town.
"On the 15th of June arrived here the American fleet, consisting of 109 sail, and four Americans. On their passage they captured thirteen British prizes, and brought them in safe. Two of the merchantmen run foul of each other on the passage, one sunk directly, the other got in. They were so near the fleets, in the time of the engagement, that the evening following one of the seventy-fours and a frigate, that had been in the action, and was sent in search of them, fell in with them and came in. A few hours afterwards they picked up a sailor on a spar, who belonged to a British 64 that sunk the night after the action. There are near six hundred sail of shipping here. Several that came over in the fleet from America, are put in the Chateau, to be tried for aristrocracy; likewise those of the captains that were in the engagement, for leaving the line on the first day; Bompard for one, the late commander of the Ambuscade when she engaged the Boston ,—the rest being killed in the action—they are pretty certain to lose their heads—they always guillotine them in two hours after they are condemned—one lost his head to-day. The commodore who came with the fleet has reported, that Congress wanted to lay an embargo on the French fleet; he likewise said to-day, at a public table, that all the merchants in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, were d—d English rascals. I hope that the nation will be better informed."
"The French are in the highest spirits imaginable. It's all equality with master and man. They are certain to get their republicanism. They have got a picture here of a Leopard, with George the Third and all the royal family mounted on him, and Pitt mounted on a stand, holding a sceptre, and leading the Leopard by the nose, representing England, and a Sans Cullote cutting Pitt down."
TRENTON, September 10.
The several troops, commanded by Captains Ward and Williamson, in Essex county, and by Longstreet, Quay and Covenhoven, in Monmouth county, have unanimously offered themselves volunteers in the service of their country, as a part of the detachment of 500 horse from this state, ordered by the President of the United States to hold themselves in readiness for immediate service.
General Bloomfield arrived in this city on Monday last to take the command of 1500 Infantry and 100 Artillery, who are on their march from the different brigades. 500 Cavalry are also on their march, and most of them are expected to arrive this evening, under the command of Brigadier General White.
Captain Carle's Hunterdon Troop of Volunteers, fully equipped and in complete uniform, arrived at the rendezvous last evening.
On Tuesday, last week, a company of troops belonging to the Legion of the United States, consisting of near
80, under the command of Captain Sedam, arrived in this city.
DETACHMENT ORDERS.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, Sept. 5.
Major-General Dayton flatters himself that he has only to make known to the troops under his command the General Orders of the 1st instant, which are subjoined, in order to ensure a prompt and exact compliance with them.
"GENERAL ORDERS."
"Trenton, 1st Sept. 1794."
"BY the command of the President of the United States, the troops in requisition from the State of New-Jersey, which were detailed from Major-General Dayton's command, and from the Cavalry and Artillery of this State, by order of the 23d of August last, are to rendezvous at Trenton, where they will be provided with every thing necessary for the expedition, and wait further orders.—Dispositions have been made by order of the national executive, for the supply of provisions, forage, fuel and transportation to the general rendezvous at Trenton, where they will be met with tents and camp equipage necessary for their march. The troops from the 2d division will take up their line of march by the most direct route to New-Brunswick, where they will apply to Mr. John Bray for provisions and forage, and those of the 3d, 4th, and 1st divisions to Trenton, to which place the troops of the 2d will also proceed. The stipulated price of rations will be allowed from the time of march, till their assembling at Trenton, to such as may not draw from the public stores, and chuse to furnish themselves: but if intermediate appointments are judged necessary to be made, three days notice must be sent to Messrs. Hunt and Bray by the Brigadiers commanding the detachment, who will take the necessary precautions. No longer time will be allowed for the arrival of the troops, at rendezvous, than what will appear to have been absolutely necessary for accomplishing their march, after receiving marching orders, which period the officers commanding companies, &c. are required to note, with precision, together with the names of the places where they halt each night on the route."
"The strictest regard to discipline and good order is to be observed on the march, and the rights of property are to be scrupulously preserved to individuals."
"By Order of the Commander in Chief, "ANTHONY W. WHITE, "Adjutant General."
THESE are to be regarded as the final and positive Marching Orders for the corps of 1500 men last detailed, and the Brigadier Generals of the detachment will accordingly send forward, without loss of time, their respective quotas of men and officers, by the routes, and under the regulations prescribed, to the general rendezvous, at Trenton, where they will be united, and form one corps, and be met by Brigadier General Bloomfield, who is to command them.
The necessary Staff will be nominated by the Brigadier General, who is to make report to, and receive his orders, from the Commander in Chief.
By Order of Major General Dayton, MATTHIAS WILLIAMSON, Aid-de-camp.
[From the English Review.]
National Affairs on the first of July.
THE orders of the Convention to their armies, to massacre all British and Hanoverian prisoners, that could proceed only from the lowest and most vulgar, as well as the most infuriated minds, is nobly controuled by the judicious and humane manifesto of the Duke of York; which, we are yet willing to hope, will produce its due effect on the minds of the French officers and soldiers—and it certainly will; if there remains among them the smallest spark of military bravery.
The military councils of the allies are now aided by the military talents of the
Marquis Cornwallis,
who is generally, however, considered as a commissioner sent to watch the Prussians, and see that they work for the wages they receive from this country. So numerous are the French, and with such ease, being in their own country, do they make up every loss, that the heavy disaster of their army at Charleroi has not removed from the allies serious apprehensions for the safety of
Offend,
our key to the continent. It is in consequence of those apprehensions, that the army under Lord Moira has gone to West Flanders. And here it is impossible for us, however reluctant, not to notice and acknowledge, that the present campaign has, on the whole, been rather favourable to the French. We were in hopes that Lord Moira would
have found a fit opportunity of carrying succour to the loyalists in Brittany.—Such an opportunity was not presented*, otherwise this excellent commander, and unfulfilled character as a man, would have embraced it. He is now called, instead of making any attack on France, to defend the frontier of the confederates.—As the campaign advances, the hopes and fears of either party are alternately agitated by the vicissitudes of war. But, while the French even maintain their ground, they clearly gain an advantage. For, while the seeds of disunion grow up among the allies, the very lapse of time confirms the authority of the French government. It does not appear that the war, on the part of the confederates, is conducted on any principle, or comprehensive system, that might, by comprehending or supposing, controul particular accidents. This want of philosophy and genius in our cabinet we have already noticed, and, too probably, shall have farther reason to deplore. The plan of the present campaign, laid down, as we have been informed, by that accomplished officer, the Austrian Colonel Mack, was, to divide the confederate force into three parts; with one to besiege Maubeuge, with another Lisle, and with a third to push on to Paris. The necessity of defending Flanders completely subverted this plan of operation;—and now, as it would appear, we strike about us like madmen, without any plan whatever; in the vain hope of reducing the French to their sober senses through lassitude and the loss of blood. Phlebotomy is sometimes a wise prescription—but not to the Doctor, when the Doctor himself loses more, or as much as the patient—having thus gone the round of nine out of the ten circles into which we have, with Fletcher of Saltoun, divided Europe, we come at last to what is the centre of all, and the whole world to us,
Great-Britain.
The American war, like most wars of ambition, in the present enlightened age when philosophy converts the actual occupancy of every country into a garrison, terminated in defeat, and added six millions annually to our flaming taxes. The political constitution, stimulated beyond its powers, and hastening to mortification, was relieved by the lenient hand of peace.—Nothing but the most inevitable necessity should have induced us to enter again on a similar course of violent exertion. And this reasoning was made use of when it happened to be in unison with the sentiments and passions of administration.
The British nation, justly renowned for philanthropy, and an indignation against injustice, manifested, by the unequivocal sign of voluntary contribution, a desire to avert the slavery of Poland. Why did Great-Britain, notwithstanding the vows and voluntary subscriptions of the English nation, remain a silent spectator of the dismemberment of Poland? Because she calculated the expense of war, and was faithful to the interests of commerce: because the situation of our finances rendered it impolitic to interfere in continental disputes. Oh! that this frigid caution which arrested us from succouring a cause so noble, had not been disdained when we were drawn into the troubled ocean in which we are now tossed! What is to be inferred by candor and the calmest reasoning from our public conduct in the grand affairs of nations? Is it any other than this, that we are more afraid of the progressive spirit of liberty, than of the advancement of princely ambition, and that partitioning policy that must lead, if not checked, to universal empire.—The brilliant victory of
Lord Howe
over the French fleet, and the reduction of Corsica are doubtless to be marked in the column of advantage and good hope on the side of Britain. The victory of Lord Howe may also be considered as a check to the Danes, Swedes, Americans, and Genoese, who meditated on armed neutrality.—But on the other hand, the French merchantmen from America and the West Indies have arrived safe in the French ports, to the number, it is said of 140 sail, laden with what the French stand most in need of: so that the present rulers of France boast that the starvation plan of Pitt and Dundas is completely defeated.—It is pretty apparent that the French on their own ground, are a match for all that part of Europe that can be brought to act seriously against them. The hope in which many lent their influence to the present measures that the business in dispute would soon be settled, begins to languish. Few affect to disbelieve that the contest will not relinquished on our part will be
* The force under Lord Moira, originally intended for an expedition to Brittany, like many others of our measures in this, as well as the American war, was a day behind the fair.
† Not to specify all the causes of this disunion we may observe, in general, that among the confederates some are military, and think it their interest to indulge in feudal ambition, and that others are commercial. A similar distinction takes place among the individuals of the same nation.
protracted indefinitely and become desperate.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.
The quota of this state and that of New-Jersey are to rendezvous at Carlisle, passing in their route, through Lancaster and Reading. The Governor will in a few days pitch his tent on the other side of Schuylkill and open a list for the enrollment of volunteers. The legislature it is hoped will allow them a bounty, in some degree proportionate to the price of labor.
The House of Representatives have made progress in the bill for completing this State's quota of the requisition of Militia—the blanks in the section which provides for giving an addition to the monthly pay, are filled with 8 dollars for a sergeant, 7 for a corporal, and 6 2/3 for privates and musicians.

Such lieutenant colonels,
Commandants, or Commanding Officers of Corps belonging to the first Division of the Militia of Pennsylvania as have not yet formed the same into classes, are ordered immediately to do it; and should any of the officers, non-commissioned officers, or privates belonging to the respective battalions or corps (whose turn it is to march) be so lost to the duty they owe their government as to refuse going on the present service, it is expected such officers will immediately resign their commissions, the non-commissioned officers be disgraced, and every exertion made by the commanding officers of the corps and company to supply the defaulters place with volunteers.
The drums and fife belonging to the several battalions will parade with their Drum and Fife-Majors daily, and practice through the city, or in such parts of the country as may be fixed on by the commanding officer; their pay will be made good by the State, until Wednesday the 17th instant, on which day the respective commands will march from this city and parade at the Governor's Marquee.

At any place or places from Fort Knox up the said Ousabache to Ouittanon, and at Ouittanon.  26. At any place or places from Ouittanon, up the said Ousabache to the head navigation of a branch thereof, called Little River, and at the said head navigation of Little River.  27. At any place or places from the said head navigation of Little River over to the Miami Village.  28. At any place or places from the mouth of the river Teesee to Oconeechappoo Bear Creek, on the said river, including the same.  29. At any place or places from the mouth of the river Cumberland to Nashville, on the said river, and at Nashville.  30. And at any place or places within thirty miles of said Nashville to the Southward, Westward or Northward thereof. 
Should any rations be required at any place, or within other districts, not specified in these proposals, the price of the same is to be hereafter agreed on between the United States and the contractor.
The rations to be supplied are to consist of the following articles, viz:
 One pound of bread or flour,  One pound of beef, or 3/4 of a pound of pork,  One quart of salt,  Two quarts of vinegar,  Two pounds of soap,  One pound of candles, 
per 100 rations.
The rations are to be furnished in such quantities, as that there shall at all times, during the said term, be sufficient for the consumption of the troops at each of the said posts, for the term of at least three months in advance, in good and wholesome provisions, if the same shall be required. It is to be understood in each case, that all losses sustained by the depredations of the enemy, or by means of the troops of the United States, shall be paid for at the prices of the articles captured or destroyed, on the deposition of two or more persons of credible character, and the certificate of a commissioned officer, ascertaining the circumstances of the loss, and the amount of the articles for which compensation shall be claimed.
The contract for the above supplies will be made either for one year, or for two years, as may appear eligible. Persons disposed to contract will therefore confine
their offers to one year, as they may form their propositions so as to admit an election of the term of two years.
The offers may comprise all the places which have been specified, or a part of them only.
It is also Desired, that proposals may be offered for supplying at the two posts of Fort Washington and Pittsburgh all the rations necessary for the main Army, its detachments and the Garrison above mentioned during the said year 1795. The provisions &c. which will be received at Pittsburgh will be those which shall be necessary for the troops at that place and at the posts north, north-west and in the vicinity, on the west thereof. The provisions which will be received at Fort Washington will be those which shall be required for the remainder of the posts, for the principal detachments and for the main Army. The expense and trouble of safe keeping, unpacking and issuing the provisions deliverable under this second form of the proposition, will be saved to the Contractors. The exact proportion of the whole supplies, which will be required at each of the two Posts of Fort Washington and Pittsburgh will be determined at the time of executing the contract.

JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale at Mathew Carey's Store, No. 118, Market Street. Price half a dollar, embellished with a striking likeness of Mr. Margarot, The TRIAL OF
Maurice Margarot, Before the High Court of 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 incontestibly, that judicial prosecutions for (persecutions) and decisions are now more the result of the present order of things, than any old fashioned attachment to the laws or the constitution. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest trials we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional knowledge, and in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt government."

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

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O. to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The t and f in the word promise are not parallel, the t inclining much more forward than the f.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger, and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills, and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons, have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions, or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.
