ELIZABETH-TOWN, June 24. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his correspondent in this town, dated April 18. "The treaty has been very unlucky in not having reached you before the seventh of March. Four different copies of it were sent out by Mr. Jay and Lord Gren- ville, three of which went by different vessels. "The picture you draw of the happy state of public affairs in your country is truly interesting and grateful. What a contrast to the different states in Europe! Whilst you are at peace, they are involv- ed in all the horrors of war; whilst you have plenty, and your poor (if they can be called so) have bread and work, here the lowest class of the people are literally starving. All thro' the country bread is scarce and dear. The poor are every where rising, in defiance of the law and the mili- tary, to reduce the price of provisions, and to raise the price of labor. Property is arming against numbers; but in vain, for on some late occasions the soldiers united with the populace to compel the farmers and millers to part with their grain and flour at reduced prices. If the war should continue longer than the present campaign, it does not require the spirit of prophecy to tell in what these commotions will end: though whether peace or war, the event must be disastrous to the present govern- ment of this country. Their prospects at this time must be particularly gloomy. The French have concluded a treaty with Prussia, and yesterday it was published; but a secret article had not yet appeared, which (as I this day had it from a French Captain, who received it from his corres- pondent at Balle) expressly stipulates that the French will guarantee Hanover to Prussia, in the subjugation of which they are to be assisted by 12,000 Prussian horse. "Private letters from Balle likewise state, that the treaty with the Emperor is considerably advanced, and it is every day looked for at Paris. Negotiations are also on foot between France and Spain the result of which will be exceedingly un- favourable to Great Britain, who, not- withstanding all the allies with whom she set out, will be obliged to support the con- test alone. She is, and will remain for some time, the mistress of the sea. The French will not probably again contend directly on this element: they will, it is generally thought, attack her in the East and West Indies, and thus embarrass her revenue. Here they probably will be suc- cessful, from the superiority of their land forces in number and spirit. "I find it is very gratifying to every American in this metropolis, to perceive the good disposition of this country to be in amity with their country. The govern- ment, I believe are sincerely disposed to remove every ground of dissatisfaction be- tween you. They appear, as far as I can learn, to facilitate by every means in their power the settlement of the business, on which an American agent is now in this city; and although delays which they cannot prevent must unavoidably take place yet I think you will have no reason to complain of the final adjustment of the business. "They are not much pleased with the general and increasing spirit of emigration to America, which pervades this country; and I believe that they would prevent it as much as they could, consistent with law. An order of Council has, it seems, lately been issued, inhibiting the custom house officers from suffering an American vessel to clear out for the United States, until the captain of the same shall have made oath, that he neither has, nor intends taking on board any British subjects as passengers for America. An intelligent gentleman of this city mentioned to me a few days ago, that this order was thought to be in conse- quence of a plan of about 2000 manufac- turers from Birmingham to emigrate to the United States, and there to commence business. "The papers and general correspond- ence will inform you of the raised price of things here. Sterling money goes about as far here as I am informed your curren- cy does with you. Bread has raised one third since the war. Beef is from 6d. to 10d. sterling per lb. Mutton 5d. and 6d. A good pair of fowls 8 and 9 shillings: nothing is cheap but human beings. Coffee 3 and 4 shillings per lb. Hylon tea from 8 to 14 shillings per lb."
time, however, he should be ever attentive to the real interests of his own subjects, an atom of which he would never sacri- fice; and should therefore, withdraw his favours to any foreign nation, whenever it might appear to be incompatible with the interests of his own; or that the En- glish, by their conduct in trade, forfeit their pretensions to any advantages which might be granted them in preference to other nations trading to China. These were the declaration of the Emperor on the occasion. At the same time to prove the high re- gard and esteem the Emperor of China en- tertained for the King of Great Britain, his Imperial Majesty, delivered from his own hand, into that of the Ambassador, a very valuable box containing the miniature pictures of all the preceding Emperors; to which is annexed, a description in verse by each Emperor, descriptive of himself, and the principal features of his govern- ment, as well as a line of conduct recom- mended to their several successors. The Emperor, on presenting this gift to the Ambassador, spoke to the following purport: "Deliver this casket to the King, your master, with your own hand, and tell him, though the present may appear to be small, it is, in my estimation, the most va- luable that I can give, or my empire can furnish; for it has been transmitted to me through a long line of my predecessors, and is the last token of affection which I had reserved to bequeath to my son and successor; as a tablet of the virtues of his ancestors, which he had only to peruse, and I should hope, to inspire him with the noble resolution to follow such bright ex- amples; and, as they have done, to make it the grand object of his life to exalt the honour of the Imperial throne, and ad- vance the happiness and prosperity of his people." Such were the words delivered by the Emperor on the occasion, as communicat- ed by Mr. Plumb, the interpreter, and which occasioned, as may be imagined, no small degree of speculation among the gentlemen of the retinue. The Ambassador returned to dinner, and soon after repaired again to the Imperial palace, with his whole suite and attend- ants, to see a play which was expressly performed as a particular mark of respect to the embassy. This dramatic entertainment was repre- sented in one of the inner courts of the pa- lace, on a temporary stage erected for the purpose. It was decorated with a profu- sion of silks, ribbons, and streamers, and illuminated with great splendor and ele- gance. The performances consisted of a great variety of mock battles and military en- gagements; lofty tumbling, as it is ex- pressed with us, and dancing both on the tight and slack ropes; and in all these ex- ercises that agility was displayed, which would have done no discredit to the gym- nastic amusements of Sadler's Wells or Astley's amphitheatre: but the skill of the performers was more particularly astonish- ing in the art of balancing, in which they excelled any thing of the kind I had ever seen. By an imperceptible motion, as it appeared, of the joints of their arms and legs, they gave to basons, jugs, glasses, &c. an apparent power of loco-motion, and produced a progressive equilibrium, by which these vessels changed their positions from one part to another of the bodies of the balancers, in a manner so extraordina- ry, that I almost suspected the correctness of my own senses. The succession of entertainments was concluded by a variety of curious de- ceptions by flight of hand, which the almost magical activity of Brellaw or Comus has never exceeded: and as a proof of my assertion, I shall mention one of them, which, I must own, astonished me, and seemed to have an equal effect on the rest of the spectators. The performer began by exhibiting a large bason in every possible position, when he suddenly placed it on the stage with the hollow part downwards, and instantly tak- ing it up again, discovered a large rab- bit, which escaped from the performer, who attempted to catch it, by taking re- fuge among the spectators. This decep- tion was perfectly unaccountable to me, as there were no visible means whatever of communication, by which it was possi- ble to convey so large an animal to the spot: the stage was also covered with matting, so that it could not be conveyed through the floor, which, if that had been the case, must have been discovered by those, and there were many of them, who were within three yards of the spot; besides, the whole display of the trick oc- cupied but a few seconds. Several other deceptions of a similar kind prolonged our amusement. The whole of the entertain- ment was accompanied by a band of mu- sicians, placed on the stage. The theatre was filled with persons of distinction, and formed a very splendid appearance. The Ambassador and his suite returned about nine o'clock, having been very much gratified by the entertain- ment of the evening.
EXTRACT From ANDERSON'S NARRATIVE OF Earl MACARTNEY'S Embassy to China.
THIS morning the Ambassador went to the Imperial palace, but not in the former style of parade, to have his audience of leave, as the period of our stay in Tartary was verging to a period. His Excellency at the same time, trans- acted certain official business at court, which was laid without reserve at the time, by the gentlemen of the suite, to be as fol- lows: The Emperor of China refused in the first instance to sign, and of course, to en- ter into any engagement by a written treaty with the crown of Great Britain, or any other nation; as such a contract, on his part, would be contrary to the ancient usage, and, indeed, an infringement of the constitutions of the empire. At the same time he was pleased to signify his high respect for his Britannic Majesty and the British nation; and that he felt a strong disposition to grant them greater indulgen- cies than any other European power trad- ing to his dominions; nor was he unwilling to make such a new arrangement of the duties payable by British ships arriving at Canton, as appeared to be a leading object of the negotiation. At the same
time, however, he should be ever attentive to the real interests of his own subjects, an atom of which he would never sacri- fice; and should therefore, withdraw his favours to any foreign nation, whenever it might appear to be incompatible with the interests of his own; or that the En- glish, by their conduct in trade, forfeit their pretensions to any advantages which might be granted them in preference to other nations trading to China. These were the declaration of the Emperor on the occasion.
At the same time to prove the high re- gard and esteem the Emperor of China en- tertained for the King of Great Britain, his Imperial Majesty, delivered from his own hand, into that of the Ambassador, a very valuable box containing the miniature pictures of all the preceding Emperors; to which is annexed, a description in verse by each Emperor, descriptive of himself, and the principal features of his govern- ment, as well as a line of conduct recom- mended to their several successors. The Emperor, on presenting this gift to the Ambassador, spoke to the following purport:

EXTRACT A French author, speaking of despotism has the following remarkable paragraph: "A tyrannical government is known by the following traits: when it permits nei- ther the progress of information, nor the free communication of those ideas which may serve to enlighten mankind, nor the assemblies which may unite them; when it besets them with spies, and dreads the freedom of speech, such a government must necessarily sink under its own weight, because the hatred and contempt it in- spires, will sooner or later avenge the in- sulted majesty of the people, authority will then return from whence it sprang."
ABSTRACT of the TREATY. From the Aurora. Mr. BACHE, I have been daily hoping to see in the public prints a copy of the late treaty with Britain; but as such a publication has not been made, I transmit enclosed the head of that instrument collected from memory after an attentive perusal. There necessarily must be deficiencies in an ac- count of this kind which depends entirely upon memory, and for the same reason there may be inaccuracies, but I trust the latter are few.
A CITIZEN.
The preamble states among other mat- ters of mere form "that without a re- ference to the merits of their respective complaints and pretensions" the contract- ing parties are desirous, &c. &c.
Art. 1. Provides generally that there shall be perpetual friendship, &c. between the contracting parties.
Art. 2. Provides for the delivery of the Western Posts in June '96. The Uni- ted States may in the mean time make set- tlements within their boundaries as recog- nized by the treaty of peace, except with in the jurisdiction of those posts. After the evacuation the settlers within that jurisdiction are to make their election of remaining British subjects or becoming A- merican citizens.
Art. 3. Stipulates the terms of trade and intercourse between Canada and the United States. We may frequent their ports, harbours, &c. on the lakes, but not their sea ports. They from thence may frequent our Atlantic rivers not a- bove our highest ports of entry in each. We may impose duties on that in- tercourse not higher than those duties im- posed on like merchandise imported into our own vessels; they may impose duties not higher than those imposed on merchant- ize imported into the sea ports of Canada by their own vessels. The two parties are also to be at liberty freely to navigate the Mississippi, and frequent the ports of either party on the eastern bank as freely as the Atlantic ports of the United States and the ports of Great Britain.
Art. 4. As it is doubtful whether a line drawn due West from the Lake of the Woods according to the treaty of peace will meet the source of the Mississippi, that river is, jointly, to be examined and sur- veyed, and if the said line cannot be run, the boundary is to be settled amicably.
Art. 5. As the treaty of peace leaves some doubt of the river meant by St. Croix river, the doubt is to be settled by three commissioners, one appointed by each party, the two chusing a third; but if they cannot agree on a third, then to name each one, and let chance decide which shall be the third.
Art. 6. Payments of damage, and in- terest on British debts contracted before the peace which damages have accrued owing to certain legal impediments fram- ed by some states: The United States to be liable for the payment of these, but not of such as would at any rate have accrued by the insolvency of the debtor, or by the negligence of the claimant. Five com- missioners appointed in a manner similar to the above are to fix the sums due upon principles of equity. Eighteen months is fixed as the term for receiving documents in those cases, and six months may be al- lowed beyond this time in some cases at the discretion of the commissioners. No sums can be ordered to be paid before the expiration of twelve months after the ra- tifications of the treaty are exchanged.
These Commissioners meet in Philadel- phia.
Art. 7. In such cases as, from what- ever circumstances indemnification cannot be obtained for captures by the British, by the common course of justice. Five com- missioners appointed as above are to fix the fame, and the British government becomes answerable for the payment. These com- missioners meet in London. By this article the United States are to refund the value of English prizes taken in our wa- ters, or by privateers fitted out in our ports.
Art. 8. Relates to the salaries and expen- ces of the above commissioners; their salaries are to be fixed when the ratifications are exchanged, and the expense are left to themselves to determine.
Art. 9. The subjects and citizens of the contracting parties shall hold real estate in each other's territory with the same ad- vantages as the citizens and subjects of the respective states.
Art. 10. It shall not be lawful for one party to sequestrate or confiscate the pro- perty in debts, funds, or banks of the other party in case of war.
Art. 11. Provides generally for a free and reciprocal trade between the two par- ties, under the conditions contained in the articles that follow.
Art. 12. We may carry our produce to the British West-Indies in vessels not ex- ceeding 70 tons, and bring thence here the produce of those colonies on the same terms as the British can do; but we are not to export from the United States mo- lasses, sugar, cocoa, coffee, or cotton, to any part of the world. The British can- not be put in a different situation than they now are, as to their intercourse between their colonies and our continent. This article was to last during the present war and for two years after, before the ex- piration of which term negotiations were to be entered into for a further agreement on the subject of this trade; when the question of neutral bottoms making neu- tral goods, was to be considered, and it was to be settled what articles should be considered as contraband in time of war. Till then, the contents of some of the ar- ticles following, are referred to as a tem- porary settlement on those heads.
To the above article there was, it seems, much opposition in Senate; and they final-
ly agreed to recommend to the President to ratify the treaty, on condition that the 12th Art. should be suspended; and also recommended that he should enter into further negotiations on the subject of a modification of this article.
Art. 13. We are to be permitted to trade with the British settlements in the East-Indies in such articles as shall not be entirely prohibited, paying the same du- ties on exportation and importation as the British. In time of war we cannot export thence, warlike or naval stores or rice without special permission. We can carry nothing that we export thence to any country but the United States, where the articles must be duly and faithfully landed. We cannot partake of the India carrying trade.
Art. 14. There shall be a reciprocally free commerce between the United States and the British dominions in Europe, un- der the regulations contained in other ar- ticles. Merchants shall be permitted to build warehouses in the respective coun- tries and shall enjoy full protection.
Art. 15. Neither country shall lay on the vessels of the other or the merchan- dize imported in them higher duties than on the like vessels and merchandise be- longing to other foreign countries. Nei- ther country shall lay upon the produce, manufactures &c. of the other higher du- ties than on the like produce, manufac- tures &c. of other countries. Great Bri- tain, however, reserves to herself the right of laying on American bottoms entering their ports in Europe, a tonnage equal to that laid on their vessels here, and duties on importations in American bottoms suf- ficient to contravail the difference between the duties laid on European and Asiatic merchandise imported here in American and British bottoms. The contracting parties will further treat to attain an ex- act equalization of duties laid on one an- other; but in the mean time the tonnage on British bottoms shall not be increased, nor the difference of duty between im- portations in American and British bot- toms made greater.
Art. 16. Relates to consuls. They may be punished in certain cases or dismissed. Any power in each country may be ex- empted by the government of that country from admitting consuls.

A View of the Evidences
of CHRISTIANITY.
IN THREE PARTS.
1. Of the direct Historical Evidence of Christianity, and wherein it is distinguished from the Evidence of other miracles.
2. Of the Auxiliary Evidence of Christianity.
3. A brief consideration of some popular Objections. By WILLIAM PALEY, M. A. Archdeacon of Carlisle.
In One large Octavo volume. Price one dollar and three quarters, handsomely bound.
In the present enlightened age, when free discussion has opened the eyes of mankind, and the fabrics of Deism and Superstition are crumbling to the dust, it becomes an object of no small importance, to distinguish leading Truths from those Counterfeits which had assumed their names and usurped their place, and in the subversion of which, Truth itself is too apt to be discarded without inquiry.
In the present work, the learned author (who had before distinguished himself by his principles of moral and political Philosophy) has treated the subject with that ability and candour which becomes it, and has exhibited in a short compass, perhaps the clearest and most distinct view of the proper evidences of christianity ever published.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire front on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A nett deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
