FROM realm to realm, with cross or
crescent crown'd,
Where'er mankind and misery are found,
O'er burning sands, deep waves, 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 murmur'ing demons bate him, and ad-
mire.

DESERTED from the detachment five hundred cavalry ordered from the State of New Jersey, a certain William Mackey a dragoon in Capt. Bulcarrick's troop of the Bergen squadron; the said Mackey is about 35 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high—round shouldered, dark complexion and eyes, down look, dark curled hair, a scar upon his upper lip. For the honor of the Cavalry and credit of the State, I am bound to inform the public, that the above described deserter, is not a native of New Jersey, and that he could not, after making repeated trials induce a single man to follow his example, in basely and cowardly deserting the standard of Freedom. All good citizens are therefore cautioned against harboring so unprincipled a man, and all the Dragoons of the Brigade are requested to use their exertions in having him apprehended and secured, that he may receive a punishment equal to the disgrace he has attempted to bring on the Cavalry of New Jersey.

Mr. Printer,
Having lately left my native country, with a view to enjoy the free air of America; I was happy to find on my arrival at Portland, a Republican Society constituted, to cultivate a just knowledge of rational liberty. At the time I was about to propose myself as a member, I read in your Gazette the request of a country reader, by which I find they are to undergo a strict examination as to their names, places of abode, business, power, wisdom and information. As I doubt whether I shall pass for a perfect politician, and should be something mortified to be expelled the society, I crave my examination before-hand and that my name, occupation, &c. may be received in the most favorable light, it is Bryan O'Dogarty; I live in a one story house, in that strait hand- some street the pleasant part of the town, my usual business is weaving Moosekin breeches. If the country reader is to preside as sole judge, I pray his honor not to be too particular in the qualifications he may esteem requisite for the members to possess, for the following reasons.
1. In all Monarchical government has been held up as a mystery, that the people might be the more easily imposed upon—the swinish multitude have no business to meddle with government.
2d. It is undoubtedly the business of every man to enquire into the wisdom and honesty of the administrators of the government under which he lives: and he has great reason to mistrust the fidelity of those in office, who deny the possession of power, wisdom or information to those over whom they preside.
3d. As the American Constitution (the best on earth) is written in plain English, and the words "barrier to prevent innovations on our rights," are plain English, we require not the use of the dead languages to teach us common sense.
From the Hartford Gazette.
Mr. BEACH,
The following is a Farewell Address intended to have been delivered by Mr. Alston, at the close of the Theatrical Exhibitions, on Friday evening last; but owing to the sudden change that took place, on account of Mrs. Wilson's violent indisposition was omitted. In justice to the author who favored Mr. Alston with the lines, and that the public may read the sentiments of the Company, convey it to them by the elegant pen of one of their own citizens, it is the wish of an individual that it may be printed.
THE season's past—here ends our final play,
Stern Duty calls our lingering steps away, But ere we close—ere yet the curtain falls, And bars our entrance from these friendly walls,
Permit my lips with transport to impart, The last glad tribute of a grateful heart: The chosen herald of von band I come, O may our offering breath a sweet perfume!
Ere yet this spot retiring from the view, Shall bid our Solons high the last adieu; While this gay throng still charms the ravish'd sight,
And loud applause shed their rich delights, Ye generous patrons all our thanks receive, The gift, tho' small, is all we have to give:
To other climes our footsteps now must stray,
To part is painful—but we are forc'd away, From our fond breast no change of time or place,
The dear, the fix'd remembrance can erase;
Fach passing hour with retrosp'ctive eye, Shall bid each scene in memory pass by; While Fancy wandering on the wing of light,
Shall bring her pleasures to the mental light,
Oft to this spot in vision we'll repair, Here taste new joys—relinquish every care, Infancy tread again this infant stage, And view the scenes which now our hearts engage.
To you who here compose this brilliant throng,
May Heaven's a life of happiness prolong;
Here let no care intrude, no pang annoy, To cloud a life of virtue and of joy;
May every bliss that Heaven can e'er bestow,
Without a storm in tide, unruffled flow;
Here may the Youths in paths of Virtue move,
Here spotless worth inspire the heart with love:
From Manhood's sphere the pangs of sorrow fly,
And Silver'd age move upward to the sky.
Foreign Intelligence.
MAESTRICHT, July 11.
"Our success on the 6th was much less than was at first imagined, and was followed by a complete reverse next day. On the 7th the French returned to the charge, and carried our formidable posts
in the forest of Soignes by the bayonet. The Prince of Cobourg, after losing 7000 men, and finding it impossible to repel the enemy, ordered a retreat, which was executed in good order thro' Brussels and its environs, in the night between the 7th and 8th. He had previously directed the inhabitants, under pain of death, to confine themselves to their houses, within doors and windows shut, during this retreat. The citizen volunteers maintained a strict guard to prevent discord or plunder, till the arrival of the French, who entered at one gate as the rear of the Austrians were going out at the opposite.
"The main body of the Prince of Cobourg's army is near Tirlemont. Yesterday morning part of his baggage and artillery arrived here; and this evening we expect 14,000 men to cover Maastricht on the side towards Liege.
"Since yesterday morning, more than fifteen boats and 200 wagons have come in laden with fugitives and their effects from the city of Namur. These fugitives concur in assuring us, that General Beaulieu has evacuated, not only the city, but the citadel, after all the expense bestowed in fortifying it; and that the French will certainly enter both to morrow. They say, moreover, that more than 20,000 persons, attempting to make their escape from the country of Namur, are detained in Liege for want of means of conveyance; and that the French are expected at Liege this very evening.
"Yesterday morning Count de Mercy d'Argentau passed through this place in great haste for the Prince of Cobourg's head quarters. It is supposed that he will not have to travel so far as Louvain. The greater part of the Arch Duke Charles's court is still here, but in hourly expectation of orders to depart. Count Metternich's baggage is sent to Aix la Chapelle.
"This evening the Prince of Hesse expects orders from the Hague to declare Maastricht in a state of siege. In the mean time the streets are full of emigrants, both French and Belgian, there being no room in the houses to receive them.
"We are informed that the French have pillaged none of the places they have entered, but behaved every where much better than was expected.
"The States of Brabant, with M. Limpens their Chancellor at their head, have remained at Brussels, and protested against the seizure by the allied troops of the treasure which they were tending to Holland. This treasure which, as I formerly mentioned, was stopped at Antwerp, is estimated at more than twenty millions of florins.
"Valenciennes, Conde, Quesnoy, & Landrecy, are all surrounded by the enemy, and most probably surrender before the end of the month. We are told here that Landrecy is already taken."
ANTWERP, July 10.
Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of York encamped his army near the village of Contique, about five miles from this city, on the great road to Brussels. The French did not in the least attempt to interrupt or harass him on his march. Lord Moira joined him with his army on the 8th inst. which now forms a second line to that commanded by the Duke. This junction renders his force very respectable. He has taken a position, where he will wait the approach of the French, if they chuse to advance. Though the ground is inclosed, and considerably covered with wood, yet there are intervals where his cavalry could act, and they always act nobly. He will here be able to oppose, in my opinion, any force the French could bring against him. The Duke and the Marquis Cornwallis were here yesterday; they went to see upon the Scheldt the transports with the stores of the army, which had just arrived from Ostend. They were received by the English seamen, and wherever they passed, with every demonstration of respect.
The French had not yesterday entered Brussels when the ordinary courier left it; but since Sunday last, 30,000 persons are supposed to have quitted that place with their most valuable effects; and property, to the amount of 30,000. is not to be found in that city; but the French will take the gleanings when nothing else remains, and will accept of the widow's mite when the aristocrat does not offer a richer booty.
The principal inhabitants of this place, as well as of Flanders and Hainault, have fled at the approach of the French; some have taken the route of Louvain and Liege, others have gone to Holland, where all the great towns are said to be full of emigrants. The French have, according to custom, put every thing in requisition in the districts of which they have got possession. All articles necessary to supply
their armies have been instantly seized—it is supposed they will make a requisition of recruits for their army, which sickness and the sword have considerably diminished, and which on account of the harvest and other circumstances, could scarcely be procured from France. This forced levy, which the Emperor did not demand, and which, to secure their persons and property, they had neither the loyalty nor prudence to grant, will be employed to defend them in their new acquired possession of Flanders, or to carry the quixotism, of conquest, or the cupidity of plunder, into Holland, or where the principles of Inquisition may incline them to direct the course of their plundering hordes.
The cannonade that took place on the 6th instant, about three leagues from Brussels, between the Prince of Saxe Cobourg and the French threw that city into great consternation. But little ground was gained or lost by either army; a few persons were killed or wounded, with any advantage resulting from the shedding of human blood: the Prince of Hesse's hospital was unfortunately killed.
LONDON, July 25.
This day the pursers of the Barwell and the London, from Bombay; the Bombay Castle, the Minerva, the Branthwick, and the Earl of Chesterfield, from China, brought intelligence to the East India House of the safe arrival of the above ships in Galway bay, in company with the Bellona, from China, the Prince William Henry, the Rodney, the Woodcote; the Hillborough; the Deptford; the Earl Cornwallis; the Warren Hastings; the Northumberland, and Kent, all from Bengal, whose pursers are hourly expected at the East India House. They failed from St. Helena the 20th of May.
By dispatches from the Duke of York, which were yesterday brought to Mr. Dundas's Office by the hon. Capt. Hope, who left the army on Sunday last, it appears, that, on the day preceding, the French had attacked the Earl of Moira's army, and the British army was preparing to retreat to Breda at the time Captain Hope came away.
Yesterday advice was received at the Admiralty's Office of the safe arrival, at Liverpool and Lancaster, of the whole of the merchant ships from Jamaica, belonging to those ports.
The whole force of the British squadron on the other side of the Atlantic, amounts to 19 sail of the line, one of 50 guns, four of 44 guns and 23 frigates from 40 to 28 guns, besides sloops, cutters, &c. about three fourths of which are with Admiral Sir John Jervis.
Extract of a letter from Stockholm, July 1.
"Some of our men of war are safely arrived in the land from the Mediterranean, in order to complete the squadron to be furnished according to treaty. One of these ships, brought over Col. Palinski as a prisoner; he has been since removed to the old Castle of Riterholm, where the state prisoners are confined.
The colonel is accused before the Supreme Aulic Tribunal of having premeditatedly suffered Baron Armfeldt to escape and to have wilfully damaged a Swedish man of war, which was, on that account put to the expence of four months repair in the port of Leghorn.
"At Gottenburg, the most bitter complaints are made on account of the scarcity of meat."
"We learn that large contracts and purchases of salt meat have been made for the French Convention. To stop this growing evil, express orders have been dispatched to four governors of the southern Provinces of Sweden."

BOSTON, Sept. 13.
Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated September 5.
"Some of the American vessels that were captured by Admiral Murray's squadron have been tried and acquitted; and it is supposed all the others will likewise be liberated. Such of them as were taken from the British and sold in the States will be considered as recaptures, and will be restored to their original owners, paying a salvage to the captors."
NEW-YORK, September 19.
The British Ministry boast much of their conquests in the East and West-Indies, and will exult at the incorporation of Corsica into their dominions. But it is very questionable how far the interest of the nation is concerned in such acquisitions. Foreign colonies and possessions may enrich a few individuals; but they always hurt the mother country, by the expence of protecting them. There is indeed one purpose which the possession of Corsica will answer—it will serve as a station from which, in time of war, Great Britain may annoy her enemies. It is a point of policy with her to keep possession of certain ports and fortified
towns or islands in the neighborhood of other nations; these ports, in time of war, serve as barbs to shelter nests of cruisers, which are encouraged to plunder her enemies.
"Bermuda and the Bahamas, on the American coast; Gibraltar at the entrance of the Mediterranean, [and formerly Dunkirk in the Channel] serve no other purpose to the nation, than as stations of annoyance to her enemies. Corsica, which is generally barren, will answer no other purpose. This policy is of old date, and has been perseveringly pursued for centuries. If this explanation of her policy is just, the conclusion is that the British Ministry take great pains to vex and harass their enemies, when such vexations yield very little advantage to the nation."
At a meeting of the Democratic Society of the town of Canaan, on Thursday the 4th day of September, 1794, and in the nineteenth year of the independence of the United States:
Resolved, As the sense of this Society, they, whatever may be our sentiments relative to the excise laws of the United States, see highly disapprove of that riotous opposition to the laws enacted by the constitutional powers of government, which at present exists in the western parts of the State of Pennsylvania, as an improper and dangerous means to obtain redress of grievances.
Resolved, That the above resolution, be signed by the Chairman and Clerk and published.

ADDRESS
Of General White to the Cornets of the New-Jersey Cavalry, on presenting them with STANDARDS.
I have the honor to deliver you the Standards of your respective Squadrons—Receive the most sacred of deposits, May foreign and domestic foes tremble before them; and when opposition ceases, may they be the signals of Victory and Pardon. Let old age, virage and innocence always find an asylum under their protecting shadow; and when unfurled for battle, may you fight under them, gentlemen, as Citizens Soldiers, and gather fresh laurels to decorate the Temple of Freedom.
September 11, 1794.
ANSWER,
Delivered by Cornet Beach, of the New-Jersey Detachment.
SIR,
Accept of our warmest acknowledgments for the distinguished honor you have conferred on us by committing to our charge, the Standards of Freedom: round these, long may we rally. The sentiments contained in your polite address received our approbation; and rest assured, Sir, that our motto, when marching against our country's enemies, shall be "Victory or Death." Our attachment to our country and our love of good government, we trust, will enable us to surmount every obstacle, and our sense of honor and duty, induce us to act worthy of Citizens Soldiers.

SEPTEMBER 23.
Yesterday morning the infantry who were encamped on the Lancaster road, about 400 strong, struck their tents and proceeded on their way to Carlisle, through Lancaster. The President of the United States paid them a visit early. They were to encamp last evening about 17 miles from the city.
This city has produced about double its quota of militia, and these are mostly volunteers making an army of near 1000 men.

The equestrian performances at Mr. Rickett's Circus on Saturday last were attended by a very respectable company of Spectators; notwithstanding the great numbers of the citizens who are now absent in the service of their country there was a good house. The routine of the performances on Saturday was well digested, novel, and agreeable, and there were evident improvement in the tout-ensemble at the Circus—the scene of the sailor's Fox hunting voyage was perhaps one of the most laughable exhibitions that could well be conceived.
Carlisle, September 18.
SIR,
I am happy to have it in my power to inform your excellency of the good effect of the orders of the 8th instant. By the assistance of a few of the well-disposed people of this place, I set on foot two or three volunteer parties; and this day I am informed, by one of the parties, that they have enrolled twenty eight men.
I am pursued, if the bounty was known, (which 'tis said the legislature
is about giving) our quota would soon be complete.
I must inform your excellency, that the active persons in raising the volunteers, will expect to be commissioned; I have been obliged rather to encourage that hope, as I could not find such willingens among the officers already commissioned; and as men fit, I hope they (if successful) will meet your excellency's approbation.
I have ordered our troops to rendezvous at this place, Friday the 26th inst. with the expectation that the equipments and camp equipage, will arrive by that time.
I have the honor to be, Your excellency's
Most obedient humble servant,
JNO. ALEXANDER, I. C. B.
His Excellency THOMAS MIFFLIN.
Extract of a Charge, delivered by the Honorable Judge Biddell, to the grand Jury for the county of Philadelphia.
After reciting the clauses in the act of Assembly of December 3d, 1782, making it high treason with the penalty of death and forfeiture of estate,
To erect a new independent government within the boundaries of this commonwealth as described by charter and settled between this State and Virginia.
To set up notices for assembling meetings for such purpose or to assemble in consequence of such notice.
Or maliciously and advisedly to recommend the same at any meetings, or to read a new form of Constitution to induce the people to adopt the same;—the learned judge proceeded as follows:
PERMIT me gentlemen to make a few observations which on reading this act at this particular crisis are suggested. The occasion of passing is well worthy of your attention.
It is recited in the 4th section that "the house had received no information that divers ill disposed persons, setting at nought every principle of public virtue, and pursuing their ambitious and interested views have caused great uneasiness among the good people of this state, by manifesting the most criminal design of setting up a distinct state or government within this commonwealth."
Who were those ill disposed persons so destitute of public virtue? Gentlemen they were a part of the inhabitants of Washington and Westmoreland, in which the county of Fayette and Allegheny were then included. Their ambition and interested views were at this time effectually checked by the vigor of this act, but with the increased population of the country are renewed, and now they boast of their strength and set the government at defiance.
The excise law at first seemed as a pretext to enslave and rouse into action the ignorant and unwary, then other demands are made—other grievances spoken of and at length their audacity has carried them to dictate what laws shall be made and what repealed. After committing the most flagrant outrages the mild conciliatory propositions of government are rejected, though approved by their most enlightened fellow citizens, who with most solid arguments and persuasive eloquence have in vain endeavoured to bring them to reason.
When it is recollected that their former attempt was made while we were waging war with Great Britain, and the present when our peace with that nation seemed to be precarious, and an actual war existing with the Indian tribes, in alliance and suspected of being favoured and supported by them; when to these considerations are added the threats thrown out of putting themselves under the protection of the British, these seem strong grounds to suspect that the views of the insurgents are deeper and their designs more pernicious than is generally apprehended.—I mean the designs of those incendiaries among them who are working on the passions of the giddy, thoughtless, ignorant and credulous; for there is strong reason to believe that most if not all of the men of sense and consideration, and a majority of the people of the western country are well disposed, although kept in awe by the turbulent and factious.
Whether these conjectures are well or ill founded, one thing is certain, that without laws we cannot exist as a Society. Now if laws can be violated in one place with impunity the example will be followed by the worthless and factious in every place. It is therefore the duty and interest of every good citizen to support the government and laws, and rescue them from that contempt into which they will otherwise inevitably fall to our utter disgrace and ruin. If this cannot be done in a government founded on the authority of the people and on the purest republican

principle, the fault can only be attributed to a want of public virtue and we shall soon experience all the miseries of anarchy or become the slaves of a despot. I should not have troubled you with these remarks after so much has been written and laid on the subject had I not understood that in some parts of this country it is to ignorance of the true nature and inattention to the vast importance of the cause in which government has called upon us to arm, that we are to attribute the supineness of many people in this hour of danger, and had I not considered it an indispensable duty in my station as indeed it is the duty of every true man to rouse and awaken his fellow citizens to a proper sense of it.

NEW-YORK, Sept. 22.
The account of General Wayne's defeat of the Indians is confirmed. Report says he took seven prisoners in RED COATS, and ordered them to the GALLOWS. We anxiously wait for the truth. [Minerva].
From Manchester, we are sorry to learn, that the sickness there had not abated. It is said, that in proportion to the number in this small town, more persons have died than in Philadelphia last year. [Boston Centinel.]
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in London, to his friend in this city, dated 8th July, 1794.
"Your plenipotentiary, Mr. Jay, did me the favor to dine with me yesterday. I have the pleasure to say that he is in good health; and from the high opinion I entertain of his abilities and integrity, I am persuaded he meets with a flattering reception in this country. Indeed it appears to me so much the interest of our government, united with the most popular opinions here, not only to grant satisfactory, but the most liberal terms to your country, that I am convinced every thing will be adjusted to your perfect content.—Under these impressions, I should feel myself inclined rather to increase, than diminish, my property in your funds, had I not entertained some suspicions from the resolutions of your Democratic Societies; that an influence was prevailing in opposition to your governing powers, which may endanger the security of all private property, which combined with some resolutions relative to the sequestration of British effects, which are an insult to common honor and bona fide, and strike at the root of all commercial confidence: I say these circumstances greatly diminish my faith, and do not appear to me to be properly discountenanced by your Executive: if not repressed in their
first symptoms, they may in the present perturbed state of human affairs, lead to anarchy and confusion."
"I think that your constitution possesses as much genuine liberty as is compatible with social order; and my wishes for the general happiness of mankind would make me extremely regret that any principles of theoretic perfection should endanger its continuance."
The following paragraphs are copied from the Limerick Herald of the 26th July, received by the ship Merchant.

Dublin, July 24.
Monday, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayer, Recorder, High Sheriffs, &c. went in procession to the Castle, where they presented to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant an Address to be transmitted to his Majesty, stating therein that the city of Dublin had voted the sum of 15,000l. for raising a regiment, and beseeching his Majesty to accept of it, and to appoint one of his Majesty's illustrious sons to be commander of the same.
They were most graciously received by His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, who promised to transmit the loyal Address without delay, to the beloved Sovereign of this nation.

ALBANY, Sept. 18.
On Monday last arrived in this city from Michelimakanoeh, via Detroit and Niagara, James Niel, an inhabitant of Beardslown, Nelson county, Kentucky; and one of the pack-horse men employed by the Contractors to General Wayne's army:—He says he was taken by the Indians at the attack on Fort Recovery; stripped of his clothing, and carried a journey of three weeks west, into the interior of their country; that during the march he was twice tied up to be burnt, but that some casualty happened each time which prevented it. On his arrival at Michelimakanoeh he was ransomed by Captain Boyle, commanding at that post; from whom he obtained a pass to Detroit, where he obtained another pass to Niagara from Col. England: at Niagara Governor Simcoe renewed his pass, and gave him 11 dollars to bear his expences. He confirms the account in our paper of Thursday last, of the defeat of the Indians at the Miami, and says several white people were with the Indians, as he saw sundry of them who were wounded brought into Detroit, while he was there. He also says, Simon Girty, and a son of Col. Magee, who lives at the Rapids of the Miami, commanded the Indians—that Girty publicly declared, that he took off Captain Gibson's scalp.
St. JOHN'S, (N. B.) August 29.
On Wednesday arrived the schooner Betty, Capt. Roden, in 36 days from Kingston, Jamaica.
Capt. Roden informs, that the Yellow Fever rages with great violence in the West-Indies, but is principally confined to the shipping. His Majesty's ship of war, Irresistible, lost 160 men in four days—not an officer survived the fatal disease, except the Captain and Master. Other vessels were proportionably unfortunate, and on board of several, every person fell a sacrifice to the distemper.
BALTIMORE, September 19.
A letter from a respectable gentleman in Hager's-town to his correspondent here, received by last night's post, informs that accounts were received there of General Scott, with the Kentucky militia, having defeated the Indians, with the loss of 300 killed and taken.—That the general's loss amounts to 73 men—and that through an unfortunate mistake, 21 of the friendly Indians were killed in the engagement.
The following paragraph is copied from Messrs. Winter and Cary's Rights of Man, of Wednesday last, printed in Frederick.
Advices from the westward, received by a gentleman of veracity, who arrived in this town on Monday last, announce, that General Scott, having under his command upwards of 1400 men, four miles in advance of General Wayne's army, was suddenly attacked by a considerable number of Indians—that after a severe conflict of 45 minutes, the Indians were totally routed, leaving behind them upwards of 200 dead on the spot.—We are sorry to add, that the loss sustained by General Scott, amounts in killed, wounded and missing, to 384, among them some brave, enterprising officers.
Extract of a letter from the Mate of the brig Three Brothers, Capt. B. Smith, from London, bound to Baltimore, to a Merchant in this town, dated Providence, (R. I.) Sept. 8.
"SIR,
"I have the disagreeable task of informing you that in our voyage from London to your town, in lat. 37, 20, and long. 71, 40, and on the 11th of September, we were captured by a French privateer, from Charleston, bound to the West-Indies. On the 2d we saw a sail and gave chase, and at 10 A. M. came up with her. She proved to be the Pallas of Boston, homeward bound from the West-Indies. The Capt. of the privateer made them take us all on board except Capt. Smith, who is gone on in the privateer, to see if any satisfaction can be had from a set of pirates—I can call them no better, for they plundered indiscriminately, the crew and passengers on board, and I have lost my all. Mr. Carrol and his sister of your town were on board. I have several letters directed to you, but they have taken into the privateer."
(The following article is from a Grenada paper brought by the Sloop Beaver, Capt. Cartwright, arrived at Alexandria.)
St. George's, August 15.
His Honor the Governor has been pleased to issue two proclamations, which were published by the Provost Marshal on Saturday: the one admitting the importation of Lumber and Provisions, the growth of America, from foreign islands, to the 1st of November next; and the other granting permission to import in American vessels, such articles as may be lawfully brought in British bottoms from America, till the first of October.
From the Knoxville Gazette, Aug 4.
On Wednesday the 9th instant, about 9 o'clock in the morning Major George Winchester was killed and scalped by Indians, near Major Wilson's, (Mero District) on the public road leading from his own house to Summer Court House: He was justice of the peace, and on his way to court.—In the death of Major Winchester, the public have to lament the loss of a valuable citizen, and a good civil and military officer.
On the 24th instant, a party of Creeks killed John Ish, at his plough, in his field, within 180 yards of his own block-house and scalped him.—Ish lived eighteen miles below this place, near the south bank of Holston—he has left a wife and eight children, the eldest not eleven years of age.

COMMEND me to that chosen people, whom Reason takes by the hand, and whither she leads, they follow. The Age of Miracles is past; we are no more to expect the "pillar of a cloud, by day, and the pillar of fire, by night," to direct us. We have heard of the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Brazen Age, and the Iron Age; but our's of the present day has the felicity to boast of the Age of Reason.
Methinks I see a pert, smirking Aristocrat start up, and adjusting his powdered locks, "will be much obliged to me to illustrate this by some familiar example."—Just step on board with me, Sir Lukewarm Leaden-head, and whip over to France; if we do not meet with something to our purpose there, cut and dried, I will charge thee nothing for thy passage. I forbear to take a malignant revenge—to lend thee my spectacles to look at the fun, or to direct thee to the apothecary's for eye-salve. I forbear to overwhelm thee with a blaze of illustration—to shew thee Kings and Queens without a head, Dukes without a ribbon, and Priests without a shirt. Here is readier change to our hands.
O ye groveling, plodding souls! How long would ye be delving on in the old foot-worn, folly marked paths of prejudice and bigotry? How long shall the thick veil of superstition and ignorance shut you from the beams of the night-dispersing lamp? When will ye be wise?
Shall it be told to posterity that their ancestors, professing too to have walked by the light of Reason, merely because it was enjoined by a precept found in an old Jewish Book of Record, did in fact devote one seventh part of their time to what they were pleased to call Religion, alias idleness, for almost four thousand years? A modest injunction indeed! Why the very priests themselves have not had a face to demand more than their tithe; and shall not a tithe of our time, the most precious of all our treasures, suffice?
Now I beg to be told what foundation there is in nature for giving this preference to the number seven. It is true that seven stars happened, as is supposed to fall together in a cluster; but I am ready to bet even stakes with any man, the winnings to be expended in oil for the lamp of Reason, that before the end of the tenth period of a thousand years from the creation, (I don't know what the French would call it) some future Herschels shall spy out the other three. In short, I affirm that nature has no particular affection for the number Seven. But has she not for the number Ten? I pray thee count thy fingers and thy toes!
It was reserved for Frenchmen to restore, in some measure, the Rights of Nature and Reason, as well as of man; and then was a fair portion of the work performed, (with submission to the author of the Pentateuch,) when it was said, "nine days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, and on the tenth shalt thou rest." Here, too, is an illustrious specimen of economy. The keepers of ordinances, of punch-houses, and places of amusement, may indeed take occasion to complain; but surely they may be contented with one day in ten. We have seen calculations of the amazing saving to the nation by this adjournment of the Sabbath. I am not a man of figures, and if I were, it would be needless to retrace them.
But to this saving of time, by the French mode of dividing it by tens, add, I beseech you, what I have never yet seen noticed, the saving in the expense of work. Nature do her own work in earnest, and obliging her to hold the fescue as well as the book. For instance, I have 10 fingers, ten toes, ten finger-nails, and 10 toe-nails, now when I have learned this new calendar, these shall be named, so that this finger shall be such a month, this finger-nail, or that toe-nail, such a day of the month, this toe shall be such a day of the week, and the like. Thus my Almanack shall cost me nothing, be always at hand, and Jack's pack of cards will be a fool to it.
From the Columbian Mercury.
Nothing more strongly evinces the contempt in which the French hold their combined enemies than in the midst of a bloody and expensive war to pass a decree for beautifying the national gardens. This also disproves the calumnies of those who supposed that the French intended to destroy the fine arts, and prevent monuments of taste and refinement, as incompatible with republican simplicity. When the national representatives can thus put every thing under requisition, whether its object be to raise armies to oppose foreign enemies, to crush domestic rebellion, or to beautify a national garden; when all the citizens are thus at the public command, whether to fight as soldiers, or work as artists—such a nation, so enabled to concentrate its forces, bids fair to rise to a pitch of greatness, hitherto unknown in the annals of Mankind. Obedience to the laws, and to the will of the people's representatives, seems to be the "order of the day in France."
Extract from the Speech of the Duke of Bedford, in the British House of Lords, May 20, 1794.
THE French constitution of 1789 was formed by men of the first rank, both in distinction and in talents; their motives were pure, and their end was laudable; they followed the noblest examples of history, they were eager to deliver their country from despotism, but they were actuated by the purest loyalty to their sovereign, and respect for civil rights. How had these men been received in foreign countries? He blushed to think what outrages had been committed on these persons on Monsieur la Fayette, who professedly retired from his country because he would not sacrifice his loyalty to his king. They had no right to dispute the veracity of M. la Fayette, for his whole life was an illustration of truth, disinterestedness and honor. Yet the retiring the victim of loyalty, he was doomed to dungeon after dungeon, and now he was transferred from a Prussian to some Austrian dungeon or hospital—God knows where;
whether dungeon or hospital it was indeed the same thing, and his personal liberty was thus wounded in the most outrageous manner. But posterity would do justice to his name, his attachment to liberty; his glorious life would transmit his name to the latest posterity, pure and untulied.
At a meeting of the Philadelphia Volunteer Rifle Company, held at George Hill's, sign of the Buck, No. 120, north Second street, the following officers were unanimously elected—George Taylor captain; William Kidd, first Lieutenant.—A person is wanted in said company to sound the Bugle Horn.

STATE OF SOUTH-CAROLINA In the House of Representatives,

Resolved, That all holders of special In- dents be directed, and required, on or before the first day of November next, to deliver the special Indents in their possession to one or other of the Commissioners of the Treasury, who are to give receipts for the same, and to report to the Commissioners on public ac- counts, on or before the tenth day of Novem- ber next, the amount by them respective- ly received, and also to the Legislature, at their meeting in November next, and that all special Indents not rendered into the Treasury at above, on or before the first day of November next, shall be, and the same are hereby barred.
Resolved, That public notice of this resolu- tion be given in the Federal Gazette in this State, once every three weeks, until the first day of November next. And that the Dele- gates of this State in the Congress of the Uni- ted States, be requested to cause this resolu- tion to be published in one or more papers in the cities of Philadelphia and New-York, and that provision will be made for the ex- pences attending such publication.
Ordered, That the resolution be sent to the Senate for their concurrence. By order of the House, JOHN BANFORD DART, C.H.R. In the SENATE,

Ordered, That the resolutions be sent to the House of Representatives, by order of the Senate, FELIX WARLEY Clerk.
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 SEDITIONS PRACTICES.
OF the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of criminal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal pe- culiar attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- est views and objects of the British conven- tion; and proves incontestibly, that judi- cial prosecutions (or persecutions) and de- cisions are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constitut- ion. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—his Second Sydney, as he has justly and deservedly been called, who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge 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 go- vernment."
C. W. PEALE. EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the in- terests of useful science, has on the sugges- tion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, in- ventions, improvements, schemes, obser- vations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate.
Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications ano- nymously, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communica- tions in a private book which he shall keep for that purpose.
The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may se- cure to inventors their just claims, and pre- vent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not en- titled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, future register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of dissemi- nating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and inven- tion, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

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 nu- merous 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, naviga- ble 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 water- ed 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, to- wards the most convenient markets. The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement. The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city. Another means of connection with Phil- adelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles. The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one miles square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians. For further particulars apply to George Eddy. Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phil- adelphia, or this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eodam

Mrs. Rowson, Of the New Theatre, Philadelphia; au- thor of the Inquisitor, Fille de Chambre, Victoria, Charlotte, &c. Price neatly bound 75 cents. Detested be the pen whose baneful influ- ence Could to the youthful docile mind convey Pericious precepts, tell loose tales, And paint illicit passion in sub colours, As might mislead the unsuspecting heart, And vitiate the young, unsettle judg- ment.

Another tract in Prince William county, called Leefylvania, containing upwards of 2000 acres, lying upon Potomack river, a- bout 23 miles below Alexandria, and 28 below the City of Washington, compre- hending Free Stone Point, which appears to be a quarry of free-stone, covering about 50 acres and adjoining the river, where ves- sels of 100 tons conveniently harbour. On another part of this tract it is supposed there is a quarry of slate, convenient to water carriage. Upwards of two thirds are in woods. Mr. Enoch S.

My only object being to raise a certain sum of money, by selling so many or such parts of the aforesaid tracts of land and lots as shall be necessary for that purpose, one half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of contract, and the other within a year from the first day of August next, and at the time of delivering possession or ex- ecuting a legal conveyance. The lands re- maining unsold, except the tract in Prince William, after raising a limited sum, will be divided into tenements, and lease for a term of years. From the 12th day of Oc- tober next, till the 15th of December, I shall be in the city of Richmond, and after that time I shall remain at home, in Alex- andria, at which places, or elsewhere, I shall be prepared to detail particular- s to enter into contracts.
