For Sale, That Valuable Estate known by the name of Mount Hope Iron-Works, Situate in the county of Morris, and state of New Jersey; twelve miles from Morris-town and thirty from Elizabeth Town or Newark Landings; consisting of a large furnace in good repair, with the best wooden bellows, drove by an overshot wheel of forty feet diameter, a bellows-house, casting-house, bridge-house, and a large moulding-house, all in good order, together with a great variety of the most approved patterns of pots, kettles, tea-kettles, &c. &c. with a sufficiency of flasks therefor, and also a great variety of all kinds of stove patterns, and a complete set of patterns and apparatus for casting potash kettles. Near the furnace is a large new magazine for hollow ware, bar iron, &c. &c. A large convenient carpenter's and wheelwright's shop, a blacksmith's shop with two fires, a nailor's shop, and a stamping mill, a coal-house that will hold six hundred loads of coal, a large, convenient store, consisting of several rooms, two excellent barns and stables, a slaughter-house near the store, together with a great variety of houses for the workmen very convenient to the furnace.
The furnace is supplied with water from a number of springs, which render a supply certain: the pond consists of about thirty acres: the mansion-house is built of stone, two stories high, with four rooms with fire-places on the first floor, and a large handsome hall, and five rooms with four fire-places on the second floor, with a very fine high garret, in which there are two fire-places, with a handsome piazza in front, the whole length of the house: at each end of the house is a handsome wing; one used for a kitchen, with servants rooms above; the other for a counting-house; and a cellar under the whole house, a well of the best water at the door, smoke and other convenient out-houses, with two excellent gardens, in one of which is a large aparonus bed, several orchards of the best grafted fruit, and one hundred and fifty acres of upland, which may be tilled to advantage. In front of the mansion-house and in full view, is a most beautiful meadow of two hundred and fifty acres, in which may now be cut one hundred and fifty tons of the best Hay, besides affording a sufficiency of pasture for the teams, and as much more meadow may be easily put in, besides raising a large quantity of corn, potatoes and turnips. The lands belonging to this estate consist of about ten thousand acres; on which are the Mines for the works, two of which are of the best quality, one so far that a single horse and cart will bring ten tons per day, the other, a team of four horses may bring six tons. Besides the above there are several other mines of inferior quality very convenient, the iron of which is good for nails, and when mixed makes excellent castings. The mines are in good order, with proper levels for drawing off the water, and flats at proper distances. Near the Works have been discovered several beds of Bog Ore, and there is no doubt, with a little attention, a sufficient supply thereof may be procured. All the mines are supplied with proper houses for the miners. Within a mile and a half of the furnace there is an inexhaustible vein of limestone; from whence not only a supply for the furnace may be had, but also any quantity for building or manure. Within less than a mile of the furnace is about twenty acres of the best double spruce for beer; and near it is a celebrated mineral spring; and two and a half miles from the furnace, within the tract, are two valuable sites for Forges and Saw-Mills, on an excellent stream of water; and two large ponds may be made, and a permanent supply may be had, by a small expense, from a Lake of four miles in length and one mile wide, and adjacent a sufficiency of wood may be had: near to one of the sites is a good farm-house, and about eighty acres of arable land, a valuable orchard, and meadow to cut thirty tons of Hay; and in the swamp that will form the pond there may now be cut sixty tons of hay.
Belonging to the same Estate, and within three miles thereof, nearer the Landing, is a good NEW FORGE, with two fires, in complete order and repair, situate on Rockaway river, which furnishes a constant supply of water; adjoining which is a good convenient dwelling-house, with three rooms and a good kitchen on the first floor, and a good barn and stable; also a large, convenient Store, which is now kept for the supply of the iron-works and the country; and this situation is very convenient for the works, much more so than to have the dry-goods store kept at the furnace.
Adjoining to the foregoing Estate, and within four miles thereof, may be had if wanted, a tract of six thousand acres of Woodland, and a site for a Forge, on a stream of water very sufficient in every respect; together with several houses now built, and a tract of three hundred and fifty acres of fine low land; a great part of which will make, with a little expense, meadow sufficient to cut one hundred and fifty tons of hay; and now affords a great supply of pasture—the residue is arable and woodland.
AND ALSO TO BE SOLD, All that VALUABLE ESTATE, called, Booneton Iron-Works, Situate in the county of Morris, within eighteen miles of Newark Landing, and eight miles of Morris-Town: containing about three thousand four hundred acres of land, lying on both sides of Rockaway river, for near four miles.
On the premises is a FORGE with four fires and two hammers, in complete repair, which embraces the whole river, a SLITTING MILL, built in the most approved manner, with two furnaces for heating iron, with rolls, pillars, cutters, and every other apparatus in the most complete order, with a blacksmith's shop, coal-house, &c. &c. On the same dam is a very complete SAW-MILL; so that the slitting-mill has the full command of the whole river, with a head of twelve feet.
Immediately below, and on another dam, is an excellent new GRIST-MILL, with two run of stones, and constructed for a third. The mill is large, and convenient for a merchant mill, and situate in a country which will afford a constant supply of grain.
All the works are in complete view of the mansion-house, and within half a mile of it, which is a handsome, building, with five rooms on the first floor with fire-places, and four rooms up stairs, all in excellent repair, with a large kitchen and cellars, and a well of excellent water at the door. In front of the house is a piazza, sixty feet long, an excellent garden, with a great abundance of the best kind of Fruit: the out-houses are convenient and good; consisting of a large spring milk-house, ice-house, smoke-house, fowl-house, corn-crib, root-house, good barns and stables, &c. &c. Also, within view of the mansion-house, are twelve dwelling-houses, a counting-house, a stone house, occupied as a store for the country and works, a large, convenient house, with six rooms, four with fire-places, occupied by the clerks; the residue of the houses are for foragemen, millers, &c. There is, adjoining the store, a POT-ASH WORKS, in complete order, a blacksmith's shop, and wheelwright's shop, and other convenient appendages.
As Rockaway river runs through this estate about four miles, in which distance near twenty mill-seats may be made, so as to occupy the whole of this very valuable and constant supply of water, it may be justly considered as a very valuable object for any person or persons desirous of going into the manufacturing line.
On the premises, and adjoining the mansion-house, are about one hundred acres of arable land; whereon are two orchards of three hundred trees, of the best grafted fruit: and within two miles and a half of the forge is a very fine farm of two hundred and fifty acres of land, in the best and most complete order, with one hundred acres of meadow, two houses, a good barn, and other necessary improvements—the residue is woodland, on which are a number of houses for the colliers, &c. &c. &c.
AND ALSO, Near three thousand acres of Land; situate in the valley of Newfoundland, about sixteen miles north west from Booneton, in the counties of Morris and Sussex, whereon
is a very good Forge of two fires, and a number of other buildings adjoining thereto, for the accommodation of the workmen, with an excellent vein of Iron Ore, situate about one mile west from the tract.
The above Estates will be sold on easy terms, together with all the horses, oxen, waggons, tools, and every implement necessary to carry on the works. There is now provided wood and ore for eight months blast; so that the Furnace will be put in blast the beginning of June. Any person wishing to purchase, may have the whole as they now are: there is also wood, &c. &c. provided at Booneton.
The terms will be payment down for all the moveable property of every kind, appertaining to the Furnace, and one eighth of the purchase money—the residue in eight yearly payments, with the interest punctually every year.
A clear and indisputable title will be given for the whole. Apply to Mr. Samuel Clarkson, in Philadelphia, Mr. Peter Mackie, Merchant, New-York, Water-street; or to either of the subscribers.

BOONETON, Morris County, May 2d, 1796. May 14.
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Friday, May 13.
Messrs. Cooper, S. Lyman, Williams, Gilbert, Bradbury, Thatcher, Crabb, Hartley, D. Foster, and J. Sprigg, presented petitions in favor of the British treaty. Those presented by the first gentleman were signed by 5365 persons.
Mr. Livingston presented a memorial from Alexander Macomb and William Edgar, stating that they purchased in the year 1787, 89,000 acres of land from the United States, for 80,000 dollars; that they paid the first instalment of 29,969 dollars; but that afterwards being unfortunate in a voyage to China, they were unable to make good the succeeding instalments; they now, therefore, pray, that their original purchase may be completed, or that they may be allowed such a proportion of land as they are entitled to from the money they had paid. Referred to the committee of claims.
The bill relative to Quarantine, was read the third time and passed.
The bill for erecting a light house on Cape Cod, was received from the Senate with one amendment, which was agreed to.
The report of the committee on the petition of John Edgar, and others, was read a second time, and referred to a committee of the whole.
On motion of Mr. Nicholas, the committee of the whole to whom was referred the bill for taking off the drawback on snuff imported, was discharged and the bill was recommitted to a select committee.
On motion of Mr. W. Lyman, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the report of the committee appointed to take into consideration the state of the fortifications of our harbours, the measures which have been pursued for obtaining proper sites for arsenals, and for replenishing our magazines with military stores and to report what further measures are necessary respecting the same. The report was in the following words.
"That it appears from the report of the Secretary at war, referred to the committee, that measures are now pursuing by the executive for obtaining proper sites for arsenals, and for replenishing our magazines with military stores; but that the result thereof is not ascertained; the progress, however, is such as to warrant a belief, that the complete accomplishment of those objects will soon be effected. It is therefore the opinion of the committee, that no farther legislative provision, relative thereto, is necessary at this time."
From the view of the present state of the fortifications of our harbours, exhibited in the report of the Secretary at War, the committee are induced to believe, that some further expenditures will be expedient to perfect and secure the works already constructed; otherwise, in some instances, they might be useless, and in many, would probably be exposed to very sudden decay and destruction, nevertheless, it does not appear to the committee to be necessary to extend the provisions for this object, any further, at the present time, as by a letter and statement from the Secretary, to the committee, there appears to be a very considerable sum (viz. 23,877 dollars 56 cents) of the former appropriations now unexpended.
These conclusions of the committee are formed without reference to the fortifications in the harbour of New-York. At that place, the works have been laid out upon a plan very extensive, constructed with durable materials, and principally under the direction of the government, and at the expense of that state: although it does not appear to have been contemplated by the United States to fortify any harbour so extensively, and in a manner so expensive, it may, notwithstanding, be deserving their attention to consider how far the undertaking is entitled to their encouragement and support. The committee, therefore, beg leave to submit the following resolution:
Resolved, That the sum of _____ dollars be appropriated and paid out of any monies in the treasury of the United States, not otherwise appropriated, for the purpose of securing and completing the fortifications in the harbor of New-York.
This report occasioned considerable discussion. The Chairman of the committee (Mr. W. Lyman) and the members from New-York urged the propriety and the necessity of an appropriation of a sum at least large enough to preserve from decay the fortifications at New-York, erected at an expense of 200,000 dollars from the State of New-York, and 175,522 dollars from the United States; in opposition the lateness of the session was urged, and the impossibility of going into a general consideration of the subject, which, if any thing was done, was necessary, as other states were equally desirous of attention in that respect. Other reasons were urged against making the appropriation recommended by the select committee, (which will appear when a sketch of the debate is given.) At length the committee rose, and on motion being made for the committee to have leave to sit again. Mr. Livingston called for the yeas and nays, which were taken as follows:

Harrison and Blackford, merchants of Great-Britain, had obtained a final decree in the court of equity of Charleston, against the heirs of Gen. Greene, for a sum more than 7000l. sterling, as surety for the house of Hunter, Banks, & Co. that this surety being given for the necessary provisions of the Southern army when it was in the most distressed condition, at a time when he had no other alternative than to risk his private fortune or disband the army, his widow prays for payment from Congress. The report which was in favor of the petitioner, was twice read, and referred to a committee of the whole tomorrow. On a motion for postponement of the reference, on the ground of some doubts on the subject, a number of observations took place, but the motion being withdrawn, the report was referred as above.
Mr. Gallatin called up two resolutions to the following effect, laid upon the table by the committee of Ways and Means, some days ago, which were agreed to and a bill or bills ordered to be brought in
"Resolved that _____ dollars be provided for the payment of various incidental demands, occasioned by trials of persons for crimes and offences during the late insurrection, not heretofore provided for."
"Resolved that an additional compensation ought to be made for the services of marshals, jurors, and witnesses in the courts of the United States during that period."
Mr. S. Smith wished the house to resolve itself into a committee of the whole on a bill which originated in the Senate, to regulate the compensation of clerks, which was accordingly done; the committee rose without making amendments to it; the house took it up when Mr. W. Smith proposed to add "that there be allowed for the year 1796, to the principal and other clerks in the office of the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House of Representatives _____ dollars each, in addition to their compensation." The amendment was agreed to, and the bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. Venable, from the committee of elections, made a further report respecting the election of Israel Smith, stating the number of votes in the towns of Hancock and Kingston, and that it was by accident that the warrants of election were not sent to those places. Ordered to lie upon the table. Adjourned.
CONTINUATION OF Foreign Intelligence.
From London Papers, By the JAMES.
PARIS, March 25.
For some days it has been perceived that there is a revolution of opinion in the Council of five hundred and the Directory, that is to say, a more profound respect for the Constitution, for the real public opinion, and a more decided aversion from those who would renew revolutions to the profit of anarchy or royalism. Thus converts have been made already. Those who a fortnight ago would have gone to the Jacobins, if they had opened their Club, are now for wisdom and moderation. (Perlet.)
Envy, mediocrity, jealousy, and the jacobinism which detests Pichegru, will repeat, that victory does not depend on a single man: I hope so. But history teaches me that it may be dangerous to put it to the trial. It is not proved that without Villars, France would have been saved at Denain; nor at Fontenoy without the Marshal de Saxe.
I know the prodigies achieved by the enthusiasm and bravery of our soldiers; but I also know what can be effected by the name of a general cherished by his troops, dreaded by the enemy, esteemed by his rivals, and so often crowned with victory. I know that we felicitate ourselves on the Court intrigue that occasioned the dismissal of Clairfayt, which also was called a resignation. I know that the retirement of Pichegru will be a subject of joy and hope to our most cruel enemies at London and Vienna. I know that Germany blames the Emperor for having accepted the resignation of Clairfayt. France will also blame the directory for having accepted that of Pichegru, unless it shall appear to have been determined by the most decisive reasons. The Directory, and more especially Carnot, in whose hands the war department is particularly vested ought to know that if, after the retreat of Pichegru, any misfortunes should happen, the whole of the responsibility will lie on the government; it will unquestionably in such a case be said—Why was this resignation accepted or called for?—Perlet. 7 Germinal—March 27.
It was very well for Duplantier, in his speech on the liberty of the press, to affirm, that the revolution was finished, since we had a government organized, a constitution accepted, and a Directory established on the principles of Republicanism. It is yet but the dream of a well meaning man.
If the Revolution were indeed finished, would there still exist a system of conspiracy, as admirably planned, and as coolly prosecuted, as if Billaud Varennes was the Director, and Fouquier Tinville the agent? Would the prisons be crowded with unfortunate men, who have for three months in vain demanded a trial? Would the pro-consuls, Reverchon and Freron, have extended and prolonged those arbitrary powers, which they derived not from the constitution? Would they continue, in the present day, to set at defiance every choice made by the
people, under pretext of a law condemned by the constitution? Would it be permitted to suspend the powers of a representative of the people without even a hearing? Would they, in the bosom of the legislature itself, propose penal laws, and those sometimes capital, for the punishment of temporary delinquency? Would they with so much levity multiply those laws, and thus degrade the gravity of legislative proceedings? Should we hear men, stained with the blood of recent slaughter, and covered with the trophies of pillage, declaiming on the advantages of perfect equality, and the necessity of a complete division of land? Would they so sanctimoniously preserve all the elements of revolutionary committees, revolutionary armies, revolutionary tribunes, all the modes of revolutionary expressions, &c.? Would they with so much cordiality bring forward the law relative to suspected persons in 1793, that law so revolutionary, that the author himself could not, in '95 find any engine better adapted to rekindle revolution? It cannot but be perceived that the royalists and the Chouans are ready to destroy the works which we have erected, and perfectly disposed to hang all the patriots of '89. It must also be perceived, that the patriots of '89 are in readiness to rush upon the royalists and Chouans, like tigers upon their prey. Massacre in the south! Murder in la Vendee! Pillage in Normandy! Calumny at Paris! Are we not still in a state of Revolution?—Bulletin Politique.
MADRID, March 1.
The report is here, that the Court of Naples is inclined to make a separate peace, under the mediation of our cabinet. Nothing has less foundation than what is said on this subject.—Our Court has not the smallest influence on that of Naples, where the Queen, who is the aunt of the Emperor, governs alone, and shews herself disposed to make the greatest sacrifices to the interests of the house of Austria. It was she who determined the dispatching of 20,000 Neapolitan troops to join the Austrian army in Lombardy.
These dispositions have no relation with the present system of our Court, which is to have a proper regard to England, the proceedings of which power exact the greatest precaution on our part. In consequence, all orders for disarming, of which we have formerly spoken, are revoked.
LONDON, March 26.
An Italian paper mentions, that no less than five prophets are now in confinement in the prisons at Rome, for predicting the fall of the Popedom, before the expiration of the last year. One of them came from England.
Forgery of L'Eclair.—It is a circumstance rather curious, that the celebrated imposition of a Preliminary Convention between the Emperor and France, in the forged Eclair, should, on the 7th instant, have been inserted in the real Eclair, without any remarks from the Editor to prove the fallacy of the intelligence.
March 30.
Among other services performed by Sir Sidney Smith on the coast of France, is that of having lately landed 40,000 new pieces of gold coinage for the use of our allies the Chouans.
Money is scarce at the Bank!
The Money Speculations in the City, and the unalterable Resolution of the Bank not to discount, continue to produce effects which create great alarm respecting the result of the present operations on the Mercantile and Commercial World.
Yesterday morning sixteen carriages, filled with the attendants of the Stadtholderian family, set off from Pall Mall for Harwich, on their way to Berlin.
March 31.
Intelligence has been received by Government, through the medium of the last despatches from India, that a negotiation continues on foot with the Mysore Chief, through the government of Madras, for the purpose of detaching Tippoo Saib from immediate alliance with any European power, particularly the French and Dutch: to which the present times seem more favourable than any that have occurred for several years past.
From the contents of the last Paris Journals, we learn, that the Abbe Syeyes is the leader of the Orleans faction. It is this faction which, step by step, has brought the Revolution to its present stage; it elevated Robespierre, and it destroyed him. It was lately divided into two parts, the violent and the moderate. The latter are the ruling party, and the former, with Syeyes at their head, still retain the name. One of the Journals informs us, that Letourneur indirectly menaced Syeyes to his face, on account of the movements of the violent Jacobins which he is supposed to direct. It is the Orleans faction that contends for making the Rhine the limits of the Republic; it is this faction which the Government principally dreads, and in struggling with which it is supported by the great body of the people, who have long been disposed in favour of moderation.
April 1.
By a vessel arrived at Harwich, the account of the Dutch fleet having reached Bergen, in Norway, is confirmed, the whole object of their cruise being to convoy home their East-India men, that have lain in that port during the winter. The master of the above vessel left the Dutch fleet in Bergen.
As admiral Duncan was determined to watch their return from the coast of Norway, we are in great hopes of speedily hearing a very good account of the Dutchmen.
In Wednesday's market, we are happy to say the price of corn experienced a farther reduction—the supply being greatly superior to the demand. It is expected to fall still farther this day.
From the immense quantity of wheat at present in hand, we have every reason to expect that the price of bread will, in the ensuing week, fall to one shilling, the quarter loaf.
The Scotch fisheries have, this year, produced an astonishing abundance. In Bo'ness alone upwards of four hundred thousand barrels have been cured.
PARIS, March 25. COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED. March 22.
Dumolard reminded the council, that a commission had been appointed to report upon a petition from the criminal tribunal respecting the assassination of

Sept. The report was to have been made the day after the appointment of the committee, and Colombel was charged with it. "Why," said Dumonard, "has it been delayed? It behoves the council to confirm speedy justice the monsters who have tarnished the glory of the Revolution. Several times has this notorious process been put in train, and checked in its progress on the most frivolous pretences. Lenity to those assassins is a too-far to stimulate them and their accomplices to the perpetration of fresh atrocities. France would not, perhaps, have been alarmed by the massacres of September, had not the perpetrators extorted from the legislative assembly an amnesty in favour of the murderers at Avignon. Let us shew our abhorrence of such monsters, and bring to justice all who have, at any period, whatever, imbrued their hands in the blood of their fellow citizens. I therefore move that the report on the cut throats of the 21st of September be presented to-morrow." Colombel informed the council, that the report moved for should be produced in the course of the next sitting.
Desermont, the organ of the commission of finance, presented to the council the means that had been devised for carrying into execution the law respecting the Mandats.
He frankly confessed, that the measure would clash with the private interests of some individuals, but it would be productive of general good.
The following are the articles:
 1. The laws which suspended the payment of all debts contracted up to the present time are rescinded.  2. All obligations entered into prior to the 1st of January 1792, not excepting those that were expressly agreed to be discharged in specie, shall be paid in Mandats.  3. Bargains made subsequent to the above period shall be paid in assignats, current value, according to the following proportions.  4. That part of the rents, which was payable in kind, shall still be so, and the other part in Mandats.  5. Rents of houses shall continue to be paid in assignats, nominal value, up to the 1st Messidor next—and after that period, the rents agreed to be paid for houses prior to the 1st of Jan. 1792, shall be paid in Mandats.  6. The rents that were to be paid in specie may be paid in Mandats. 
March 23.
Colombel, the organ of a commission to which had been referred the petition of the criminal tribunal of the Seine, relative to the obstacles that prevented the trial of the authors of the massacres of the 2d of Sept. and of the robbers of the Garde Meuble, presented a report.
The question was, whether several acts of accusation against different persons accused of the same offence, ought to undergo one or more trials.
The commission was of opinion, that the judges should not decide several times upon the same offence, and that indivisibility in criminal matters was indispensable. They proposed, therefore, to unite all the acts of accusation relative to the same offence, and to decide upon the whole by one and the same trial.
Treillard proposed an additional article, to serve as an explanation to the principles developed by Colombel.
The commission was ordered to present a new report to-morrow.
Memoir, from the commission of Finance.— "You have directed your commission to draw up an address to the people, relative to the Mandats. To good citizens it will be useless; and for the bad we must have penal provisions. I therefore am ordered to move."
 1. That the penalties against the forgers or distributors of assignats shall be applied to the forgers or distributors of mandats, or promises of mandats.  2. Those who, by their speeches or writings, shall attempt to discredit the mandats, or promises of mandats, shall be condemned to a fine from 1000 to 10,000 livres, and to imprisonment until the fine be paid.  3. Those who refuse to receive in payment mandats, or promises of mandats shall be punished for the first offence, by a fine equal to the sum refused, and for the second offence, to a sum ten times greater than the sum refused.  4. In future all purchases, sales, and transactions can only be stipulated in mandats; all other stipulations shall be rejected by the Tribunals.  5. Those who shall purchase or sell metallic money throughout the republic, and the countries occupied by the armies, shall be punished for the first offence, by a fine from 300 livres to 1000 livres at most, and for the second offence by 4 years imprisonment in irons. This motion was agreed to. 
March 27.
The operations of Finance, the wishes that every one forms for the conclusion of peace, and the affair of the assassins of September, are here the topics of every conversation. It is the general wish to see the reign of justice and laws established and consolidated. Provisions are still at an excessive price. The commerce of gold and silver is continued, but secretly. The stock jobbing, which necessity and the irresistible force of circumstances have produced, is an evil which is not so easily cured. Susceptible of the greatest secrecy, it eludes the eye of the law, which vainly endeavours to annihilate it. It takes a thousand different forms and is never consumed by the decrees. It certainly ought not to be left at full liberty, but it should be regarded as a necessary consequence of a certain order of things. The price of the Louis still fluctuates between five and seven thousand livres.—(Veridique.)

Philadelphia, SATURDAY EVENING, May 14, 1796.
COMMUNICATION.
It is a FACT that the PEOPLE of the United States are no where denominated the "swinish multitude," or the "herd," but in the Jacobin papers!
It is a fact that "a public debt" has been called "a public blessing" only in the Jacobin papers!
We are assured that a correct account of the number of the signers to the several petitions in favor of carrying into effect the British Treaty and of those opposed to it, will be published. This is justly due to the public. In our popular government it is of the greatest importance that an accurate idea should be formed of the predominant sentiments of the people, on the important subject of national faith, in fulfilling national contracts.
GENUINE
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectable character in Vermont.
"I AM sorry to find so many distracted people in Congress. It appears at present the American Bedlam, as we hear of insanity in no other quarter. I believe the people were never so united as they are now, in reprobating the conduct of the present majority: we already feel the ill consequences of their proceedings."
"The people in this place are circulating a petition to Congress, it will be signed unanimously. I cannot but hope things will take a different turn."
"It is surprising that those who are constituted as the guardians of our liberties should be the only people disposed to act unconstitutionally. There are but few of them can say they are guided by the feelings of their constituents."
Extract of a letter from Fredericksburg, dated April 11.
"If I could collect my debts and establish myself in any of your northern cities, I should leave this state, tho' I am convinced it is the best in the Union if we could change the inhabitants. All our laws are in favor of poor debtors, and from our representatives in Congress, you may suppose the people here are fond of war—so such thing, nineteen twentieths I am convinced are opposed to it."
Extract of a letter from a very respectable gentleman on the E. S. of Maryland.
"You have made us all extremely happy in carrying the treaty with Great Britain into action—not a voice—no, not one against it here—but every intelligent countenance shows additional happiness since Congress has been brought to their senses by the declared sense of the nation through memorials. We were not alarmed while your preliminary measures indicated a hesitation—but were so to the greatest degree when we found your body on the very edge of doing a deed that would have thrown this country into a war and the arms of France—we would be independent—to be so we must have peace, and a neutrality during the present convulsions of Europe."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Virginia to the Editor. April 29, 1795.
"All the arguments against the treaty-making power, as at present vested, (if such miserable sophistry deserve the appellation of argument) amount to this, and no more—That if the Constitution has vested the power to make treaties in the President and Senate, it has also bestowed the same power on the House of Representatives."
"The Phalanx, I perceive, is not yet broken; and never will be, except by the good sense of the people: I live in hope to see the day, when the men who with and strive by their incessant opposition, to drive from the helm of government, the man of the people, the firm, the prudent, the patriotic Washington—the"
JUSTUM ET TENACEM PROPOSITI VIRUM, NON CIVIUM ARDOR PRAVA JUBENTUM, NON VULTUS INSTANTIS TYRANNI MENTE QUATIT SOLIDA,
will themselves be driven from power, and experience that constitutional reformation, which the people by their power may express, when they mean to expel from their confidence, servants whom they deem unworthy of its continuance.
The best and wisest measures of the best and wisest men, they have for four years, is every instance, unanimously opposed. The most preposterous and unwise, they have unanimously supported, and all this, to travestie by all their strength and their decrees the Executive government of the United States. Hic labor, Hoc opus. Men of discernment see the tendency of this conduct; the eyes of the people begin to open upon it: it must ere long be fully explained upon, it shall be exposed.
Extract of a letter from London, dated April 2.
"I arrived at Plymouth the 30th ult. I should be exceedingly happy had I it in my power to inform you that we have arrived at a good market; but, unfortunately that is not the case; for 4 or 5 weeks past flour and wheat have been on the decline and the best flour now sells for 56 shillings sterling per barrel, which will not be near the first cost in Philadelphia. My friends have informed me that all kinds of provisions are much lower in every part of France than in England. The Roebuck arrived two days before us; the Prudence arrived this day at London."
In the beginning of the late treaty fever, an honest-hearted blunt, careless fellow was met by an old man, who in a solemn tone exclaimed, "is it possible?" and still shaking his grey locks, said, "they do say General Washington is going to sell his country?"—"well and who has a better right?" returned the wag, "It is a country of his own making—he has sucked and nursed and tended and fatted it, till faith I am not afraid to trust him with it in any market under heaven."

NEW-YORK, May 12.
In the Supreme Court of Judicature of this State, held at the city hall of this city, last Saturday, sentence of imprisonment for life, in the state prison, to be credited in the city and county of New-York, and, until its erection, in the gaol of this city, was pronounced against David Green, otherwise called Alexander Howard, for passing a forged bill of exchange, purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Brown, Benion, and Ives, merchants, of Providence, on Mr. Nicholas Cook, of this city, merchant.
A like sentence was passed on Amanda Coe, for uttering a counterfeit note of the Bank of the United States.
Thomas Donnelly, for grand larceny, was sentenced to two years imprisonment.
Several others, convicted of petit larcenies, were ordered to be imprisoned for short periods.

St. JOHN'S (Antigua) April 7.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Grenada, to his friend in this Island, dated April 3.
"In my last I informed you that the enemy had drove us from all our out-ports, and that the town was invested, and that they were in great force at Port Royal and Labay, since which Gen. Nicolls has marched from this with part of the 9th, 10th, 25th, 29th, 83th, one company of the St. George's militia, one company of the St. Patrick's ditto, 4 companies of Black Rangers, 60 of the 17th dragoons, and the militia light cavalry of about 40—and were at Labay joined by a part of the 8th and the 3d or 4th from on board an Indiaman, which had a few days arrived from Barbadoes; this force together consisted of about 2200 men. Good Friday in the morning, the action commenced by an attack on Port Royal, a very strong and almost impregnable place; the enemy fought furiously and seemed determined to dispute every inch of ground—they were at last obliged to give way to our superior discipline and bravery; at five o'clock in the evening we got possession of it by storm, and a most horrid and dreadful slaughter took place; the dragoons and cavalry potted themselves in the mean time in such a situation as to cut off the retreat of the fugitives, which they completely effected, and cut up about 200 of them in their flight. It is imagined by the best accounts, and from some women that have since come from the camp, that the enemy have not lost less than 500, besides wounded. As soon as the English flag was displayed on Port Royal, Pilot Hill was also evacuated by the enemy, leaving their cannon and ammunition behind them. This affair cost us about 30 killed and 90 wounded, among the former is a Major Edwards of the Buffs, Captains Noel and Forbes of the black rangers, and two other militia officers. Gen. Nicolls has since been reconnoitring the grand camp, and am informed in every track and path leading to it, and among the bushes in every direction, it is shocking to see the number of dead bodies who have crawled so far and at last died of their wounds; and in the neighbourhood of Port Royal and Labay, the stench of human carcases is intolerable, lying in the bulk and cane-pieces. The monster Fedon received a wound from a splinter of a shell, but not dangerous. We have only taken 4 prisoners, white men, one a Major, two inferior officers from Guadalupe, and one of our own subjects."
PITTSBURGH, May 7.
A gentleman immediately from Philadelphia, informs us, that he understood before he left that city, that several owners of Bermudian privateers were there, waiting to see if the House of Representatives will make appropriation for carrying the treaty with Great Britain into effect. It is presumed if the House do not, they will immediately rest and dispatch their privateers to capture our merchantmen—being restrained from continuing their robberies, only for fear of being brought to a severe account if the treaty should be carried into effect.
CARLISLE, May 4.
SMALL POX.
A child of 3 years old, in the confluent small-pox, breathing laboriously, extremely restless, and the pustules almost universally exhibiting a deadly witness, was lately happily relieved by the application of a large piece of leather on the stomach, covered with unguentum hydrargyri fortius, which was by mistake applied instead of the mitius, prescribed by a physician. In a few hours the breath softened, and restlessness subsided, and the pustules discovered a disposition to suppurate benignly.—This case has been considered of such consequence, that an account of it has been published.

Whereas a certain negro man, who calls himself HARRY, was committed to the jail of Dauphin county, in Pennsylvania, on the 30th of April last, on suspicion of being a runaway slave; he is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, his face very remarkable on account of having a very large wart on his right cheek, near the ear, and one on his neck, near the throat. His face much contracted by the small pox, especially about the nose. He says he formerly belonged to one Henry Snowden, of Elkridge, in Maryland, who died about 7 years ago in Philadelphia. The proper owner of said negro, if any, are desired to come, pay costs, and take him away, otherwise he will be sold to pay costs. JOHN MCHESNEY, Jailor. May 7, 1796 [13. 31]

Proposals, For publishing by Subscription, an elegant ENGRAVING, of a Picture entitled National Gratitude.
Dedicated to the Citizens of America. The United States of America, represented by fifteen women, appear in the temple of Minerva, for the purpose of decorating with wreaths the Bust of President Washington, already crowned by immortality and liberty; the Eagle supporting the Arms of America, holds forth the Legend thereof, expressive of the unanimity of sentiment which animates them. The Statue of Minerva is seen under a portico, decorated with military trophies, emblems of the Victories obtained against the enemies of Liberty; in the foreground appears Hilarity, who, attentive to this interesting scene, records it in her annals, in order to be transmitted to posterity.
The original picture was executed on a large scale, by JOSEPH PERONARD, an Italian artist, on occasion of the entertainment given at Rickett's Amphitheatre in Philadelphia, on February 22, 1796, for the celebration of the birthday of the President.

LAND for sale.
ANY gentleman desirous of purchasing Land, in the vicinity of the city of Washington, may now be accommodated with a situation combining advantages as to health, soil, and prospect, not equalled perhaps in America.
The subscriber has for sale from 100 to 380 acres of land, it lies within 1 1/2 mile of the city of Washington, 2 1/2 from the President's Square, (from which it bears about N. by E.) and 3 1/4 miles from the Capitol. It bears nearly W. from the westernmost spring of the head waters of the Tibet, distant therefrom about 1 1/2 mile. The situation is remarkably healthy, and every part of the land is well watered—has great abundance of the choicest fruit: about 80 acres are in wood, and there are about 50 acres of meadow-ground, great part thereof can be watered, and the whole laid down in Timothy-grass at a small expense. There are several beautiful eminences on it: one of the heights commanding a most beautiful and extensive prospect. To the south, you have a full view of the city of Washington, the town of Alexandria, and the river Potomac, as far as the eye can reach. To the north, a full view of the Sugar-Loaf Mountain, distant about 35 miles, with the surrounding country. To the West, a very extensive view of the lands in Virginia: the whole forming a grand rural Amphitheatre. Any person inclined to purchase, will find on viewing the situation, that the landscape is far superior to the sketch given of it in this advertisement. For price, &c. apply to the subscriber, living on the premises, or to George Walker, Esq. now in Philadelphia. JOHN THO. BOUGHER. District of Columbia, May 6, 1796.

A very Valuable Estate,
CALLED TWITTENHAM, situate in the township of Upper Derby, and county of Delaware, 7 1/2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 230 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime woodland, and the rest arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with 4 rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and stone spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peaches. The fields are all in clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing.
The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat.
