PROPOSALS, By BIOREN & MADAN, For publishing by Subscription, that celebrated Work, Godwin's Political Justice. From the last London Edition. TERMS. I. It will be published in two large volumes, duodecimo. II. Price to Subscribers, two dollars, handsomely bound, to be paid on delivery of the work. III. As soon as a number of Subscribers appear, suffi- cient to defray the expense, it shall be put to press. IV. The names of the Subscribers shall be prefixed. The following Character of this work is extracted from the Monthly Review, p. 311, 312, for March, 1793. "We have no small degree of pleasure in announcing the present work to our readers; as one which from the freedom of its enquiry, the grandeur of its views, and the fortitude of its principles, is eminently deserving of attention. By this eulogium, we would by no means be under- stood to subscribe to all the principles which these volumes contain. Knowledge is not yet arrived at that degree of certainty which is requisite, for any two men to think al- ike on all subjects; neither has language attained that con- sistent accuracy, which can enable them to convey their thoughts, even when they do think alike, in a manner per- fectly correct and intelligible to both. These difficulties are only to be overcome by a patient, incessant, and bene- volent investigation. "Many of the opinions which this work contains, are bold; some of them are novel; and some doubtless are er- roneous; but that which ought to endure even to those whose principles it may offend, is the strength of argu- ment adduced in it to prove, that peace and order most ef- fectually promote the happiness of mankind. The political re- formers are panting; that as the progress of knowledge is gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate;— and that convulsive violence is dangerous not only to indi- viduals (for that result comparatively would be of small account) but to the general cause of truth. It is the op- posite of this principle that inspires the enemies of polit- ical enquiry with so much terror; it is the supposition that change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and injustice of commotion; and that innovation cannot be made without the intervention of evils more destructive than those which are intended to be reformed. Under the conviction of this philanthropic sentiment, of calm and gradual reform, (which in its proper place he has fully il- lustrated) Mr. Godwin proceeds without scruple first to en- quire into present evil, through its essential branches, and next to demonstrate future good. "Dividing his work into eight books, and making the IMPORTANCE OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS the subject of the first, he begins by an attempt to prove the omnipot- ence of government over the moral habits of mankind; and that on these moral habits their wisdom, virtue and felicity depend." Subscriptions received by the publishers at their Printing Office, back of No. 77 Dock-street, Philadelphia. June 18

NEWBURN, (N. C.) June 5. The following address accompanied the resolves of the meeting of the inhabitants of this town on the 19th April. Newbern, North Carolina, 19th April, 1796. Sir, THE inhabitants of the town of Newbern hope they may stand excused for any forwardness or in- discretion, which may appear in this address, if they convey to you expressions of gratitude and appro- bation, as the only return your fellow-citizens have the power of making, for the hard, and in some in- stances vexatious burden; which their affections and condescence have placed upon you.
We consider, sir, your having refused to comply with the resolution of the House of Representa- tives of the 24th of March, upon the ground you have taken, among the most signal acts of service which your eminent virtues and talents have render- ed your country; as the influence of your example may prolong the date of the Constitution many ag- es beyond what might have been the short period of its existence, had you admitted the principle, and yielded to the requisition of the house. It is the pride and boast of every enlightened A- merican, that the principles which have been as- sociated in the composition of our most excellent con- stitution, have eminently qualified it to extend the most perfect liberty, security and protection, to ev- ery rank and condition of life,—and they who know how to appreciate such a blessing, cannot see any act that may have the most remote tendency to rob them of it, without alarm, nor behold any exertions to preserve it, but with the emotions of gratitude.
In addition, suffer us to express the warmest wish- es which grateful hearts can feel, for your welfare; that it may be the happiness of America long to experience the influence of your wisdom in the man- agement of her affairs; and that you may enjoy that satisfaction, which the confidence and grate- tude of a happy people is capable of conferring. In behalf of the Citizens of the town of New- bern, I have the honor to be, with the most pro- found respect, your most obedient, and very hum- ble servant, JOSEPH LEECH, Chairman. The President of the United States.
The President's answer is as follows: United States, 5th May, 1796. Sir, I have received from you the address and resolu- tions of the inhabitants of the town of Newbern, passed at their meeting on the 19th of April, no- ticing the call for papers relating to the negotia-
tion of the treaty with Great Britain, and my an- swer to that call. A sacred regard to the Constitution, and to the best interests of the United States as involved in its preservation, having governed my conduct on that occasion, the consciousness thereof would at all times have furnished me with strong ground of satisfaction, but it gives me real pleasure to find that conduct approved by my fellow citizens; and the kind and affectionate terms in which the approbation of the inhabitants of Newbern has been conveyed to me, are peculiarly grateful, and demand my cordial ac- knowledgments. These I beg you to express to them with my sincere thanks for their earnest wishes for my welfare. Go. WASHINGTON. Col. Joseph Leech.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. MR. FENNO,
THERE is no general proposition that is more universally admitted than that our minds are for the most part governed in their feelings by external objects. Scarce a day or an hour passes by but we have frequent opportunities of observing the truth of this assertion. Which of us are there who have not felt that calm tranquillity of mind which is inspired by observing a landscape by the softening light of the moon; or, who have not had our minds thrown into agitation by the war- ring of the elements. Who on beholding a ven- erable oak whose limbs have been lopped off by the destroying hand of time, and whose companions have long since mouldered into dust, would not call to remembrance those friends of his youth who are no more!
If such then are the effects produced on the mind by external objects how peculiarly attentive ought we to be that in those places which are ap- propriated for the worship of our God, nothing should meet the eye or ear which does not comport with those solemn and dignified ideas which should fill our minds during our attendance there: And who will pretend to say, that the custom of gather- ing money in church, is compatible with these ideas. In vain may the preacher endeavor to persuade us that the affairs of this world should never be set in competition with those of heaven, when in a place expressly dedicated to God, and in the midst of a ceremony in which we should surrender our throats totally to him, we are called back again to the af- fairs of this world (perhaps for fear we should for- get them) by a person who comes to solicit money. Is it possible that under these circumstances we should feel any degree of solemnity. Will it not act as so perfect an antidote, as to expunge every tho't that we before possessed that led towards heaven.
But the poison stops not here, for that degree of importance which money has robbed religion of, it now possesses itself, and people from seeing them often united give it an importance which it before wanted, and is the cause of one half the misery ex- isting in the world. Such then are the consequence- es derived from the gathering of money in church. And for what? merely for the purpose of gaining a few pounds! would it not be better, if it is ex- tra sum is necessary, to levy a small sum more on the pews, which would at once banish all the evil tendencies of the present custom, and which would be paid with cheerfulness by every Church going person.

Extract of a letter received by a merchant in this city, per the ship Diana, in seven days from Bermuda, dated 12th June.
"I am sorry to inform you that by the ship Lion, which arrived a few days ago from London, which she left the 1st May, positive orders are received from the Commissioners of the Customs, to allow no West-India produce to be shifted from hence to any foreign port, without paying the foreign duties; and these are so high as to amount to a total prohibition. This order has been acted up to so strictly that several vessels which had, previous to the arrival of the Lion, taken on board West-India goods for America, were obliged to unload, and I am afraid, in consequence, the American trade will be knocked up."
From HALIFAX, May 11.
His majesty's ship Thibet, on her passage from England, in lat. 47, long. 24, 30, fell in with the American ship Liberty, John Arnold, master, out 44 days from South Carolina, 33 of which she had been totally dismasted—the hull of the vessel, and the cargo were, however, in good order. Captain Hardy, commander of the Thibet, gave them every assistance, and furnished them with sails, cordage, spars, &c. sufficient to enable them to reach some port in Europe, for which the master of the Liberty gave an order on Messrs. Mutton & Cramplin, New-York.

On Thursday afternoon, the brig Marianne, Willis, from Philadelphia, coming into this harbour in a very thick fog, and little wind, was, by the heave of the sea, or some other unfortunate occurrence, thrown on shore near point Sandwich.

VIA BERMUDA.
Yesterday arrived at this port, the brig Diana, Pratt, 7 days from Bermuda. The Editor of the New-York Gazette has been favored with Bermuda papers to the 11th inst. containing Paris accounts to the 24th, and London to the 29th of April, from which the following articles are selected.
LEGHORN, April 2."> LEGHORN, April 2.
We experienced a violent storm here a few days ago, which drove ashore 5 ships and one English frigate.
We are informed that the Dey of Tunis has declared war against England, because the English
commanders have seized in the bay of Tunis five French ships loaded with grain for Marseilles, and two frigates and a cutter of the same nation—these prizes are expected here shortly.
LONDON, April 28.
The mass of French papers which we received yesterday, together with the length of the important intelligence which they contained, prevented us, though we gave their principal contents, from entering into that regular detail of particulars which we have now an opportunity of doing.
We yesterday gave an account of two battles fought in Italy, both of which ended unfavourable for the allied Austrian and Sardinian arms.
The first which took place on the 14th inst. was contested with great obstinacy on either side; tho' it finally terminated to the disadvantage of the Austrians, who are stated by their adversaries to have lost, in killed, wounded and prisoners near 4,000 men.
Of the last, we know nothing more than the general statement of the Directory, who say that the Austrians and Sardinians lost 10,500 men (of which 8,000 were prisoners) with all their magazines, baggage and ammunition, and 30 pieces of cannon.
It is worthy of remark, that the day on which this battle took place is not specified; and that it is called the battle of Monte Lezino, which appears to be the very place at which the first battle was fought, though this is denominated the battle of Montenotte. What reason the Directory could have for publishing the general's letter in one instance and not in the other, remains to be seen. It certainly exposes them to a suspicion of having exaggerated their advantages, and we have little doubt but this will prove to be the case.
The different papers contain reflections on the official notes which passed between Mr. Wickham and Mr. Barthelini; and their conductors have, as we predicted, been careful to translate the patriotic observations of the Jacobin, and opposition prints here, which are always ready to supply our enemy with arguments against ourselves.
An American vessel arrived at Hull on Monday night last from Amsterdam, which place she left on Saturday, the master of which reports, that the Dutch fleet was lying in the Texel, and consisted of seven two deckers, two frigates, and 2 or 3 other smaller vessels.
April 29.
Our readers will recollect, that we some time ago predicted the failure of some mercantile houses at Hamburg, from their extensive dealings with the government of France. This prediction has been completely verified, by the recent failure of one of the first commercial houses, not only in Hamburg but in Europe; we mean the well known house of Walkiers, which has stopped for no less a sum than two millions sterling. Mr. Walkiers, who has invariably been a most strenuous advocate for the principles of democracy, supplied the French armies with provisions during their stay in the Netherlands; and has continued during the whole progress of the war, to afford to the government of Paris every possible assistance. The consequence has been such as might naturally be expected. The French government bound by no principle but that of self-interest, have neglected to pay the demands of Walkiers, for the articles with which he has supplied them; and all his bills upon France have been returned protested. Speculations in corn may perhaps have contributed to augment his distress; but the real cause of his failure was his connection with the French Government, who, we have reason to believe, are at this time indebted to him, to the amount of the whole sum for which he has failed—and it is more than probable that the corn which he purchased was destined for France.
Another house at Hamburg, that of the Prussian Consul, Hesse, has also stopped; the principal of which is said to have absconded, and even to have put an end to his existence.
Mr. Alexander Lameth, of revolutionary memory, received an order from the Duke of Portland, on Tuesday night to quit the kingdom. His remonstrances on the occasion received this brief answer—"You keep too much company, Mr. Lameth." If we mistake not he had letters to the friend of Brissot, and some other admirers of the French Revolution.
Sir Sydney Smith will probably soon be exchanged for the captain of one of the frigates lately taken by the active and gallant Sir Edward Pellew.
PARIS, April 20.
The city is once more surrounded by all the pomp of war. The government has assembled troops, and established camps around the walls. Yet not a single ground of alarm can be discovered—every thing is perfectly calm at present; the Jacobins have returned to their duty. Of those who form conjectures, and seek to divine the secrets of government, some are of opinion, that these measures have been adopted to restrain the audacity of the Jacobins, previous to the trial of the assassins of the 2d of September; for whose release, it is pretended, they have laid some plans: Others believe that it is for the purpose of ensuring a freedom of opinion to the Legislative Body, in the approaching debates on the suppression of popular societies; but those who pretend to be more profound in their political speculations, say, that the government have been led to it by a dead of revolt, on the part of the workmen and labourers, who are to receive their wages in mandats. The most trifling circumstances may, in fact, enable the government to form a just idea of the public opinion, or rather of the opinion of the multitude. Now it was lately remarked, on the proclamation of the Mandat, that the exclamation of Vive la Republique! thundered forth by the officer, was not repeated by a single person. A cold and gloomy silence prevailed; or rather, instead of the demonstrations of joy formerly evinced, every symptom of discontent was now visible. There is a class of men who are always displeased with the measures of government; a class born for riot, pillage, and blood, whom factions endeavour to nominate the people, but who are really the enemies of the public interest, and can alone be kept within the bounds of duty by the sight of cannon and bayonets.
The ci-devant Count de Maulevrier, who had
been arrested by the police, was released by the justice before whom he was taken, for want of evidence to substantiate the charge; but he has been again arrested, and brought to Paris.
General Pichegru has at last accepted the embassy to Sweden: but he is to pass two months with his family, at Arbois, before he repairs to Stockholm.
April 21.
Letters from Marseilles, Bourdeaux, and most of the principal commercial towns, state that all commerce is suspended, and that nothing is sold except articles of the first necessity.
The factious are alarmed at the vigorous measures which have been taken to suppress them; they are gone to hide their fury in their subterraneous caverns. The groups are dispersed. Paris wears an appearance of tranquillity. But government must not relax its vigilance; it must not be forgotten, that though dispersed, on the 12th Germinal, last year, the Terrorists again attacked the National Convention on the first of Pluvial, and dipped their hands in the blood of Ferrand.
Extract of a letter from the Consul General of the French Republic at Tunis, to the minister of Marine.
20th Ventose.
"The dastardly English have just proved that there is nothing sacred in their eyes. Yesterday a division of their ships of war carried off under the fort of Goulette, in the most open contempt of the rights of nations and of neutrality, two small vessels of the republic, together with the frigate the Nemesis, which had been before taken from the pirates. To complete their wickedness, when, at the proposal of their admiral, I sent for the crews of the ships they had stolen, the Brigands would not give up the sailors. Vengeance, Frenchmen! Vengeance!"
April 23.
Gossuin—"The army of Italy has begun the new campaign with success; I move that you shall declare, that the army has deserved well of the country." Adopted.
Jean de Brie—"I move that the accounts of the victories gained by the armies of the republic be paled up in this council in the manner they are in that of the Elders." Adopted.
Camus, reported, and the council resolved, to concur with the council of Elders in appointing a commission, which shall be employed in watching over the operations of commissaries of the treasury. The former resolution upon this subject has been rejected, in consequence of the council having reserved to themselves, only the appointment of the members of the commission.
Fermont in the name of the commission of expenses, declared, that the calumniators in vain endeavoured to make the public believe that the mandats will share the same fate as the assignats—"No (said he;) the legislative body will sooner dissolve themselves than not keep their promises." Fermont finished by a very long resolution, in order to accelerate the fabrication of mandats, and which was adopted.
The following are the objects to which it relates. Seven hundred millions of Mandats, of the value of 500 livres each; 500 millions of 100 livres each; 400 millions of 50 livres each; 300 millions of 20 livres each; and 200 millions of Mandats of 10 livres each: making a total of 1,400,000,000 Mandats which are to be fabricated.
The paper shall be of an extraordinary texture, so as to be easily distinguished from any other paper, and made only in one manufactory; the workmen shall engage themselves formally not to quit the manufactory before their operations are finished.
Immediately after the emission of the 2,400 millions of Mandats, the instruments and plates for their fabrication, shall be deposited in the National archives.
We are assured, that the salary of each member of the two Councils, now amounts to 100 livres a day.
It is said that the 21st inst. is the day fixed for the trial of the assassins of September.
LONDON, April 27.
We this morning received the Paris Journals to the 25th inst. inclusive. They bring the important intelligence of the recommencement of hostilities in Italy. Two battles have been fought between the French and the United Austrian and Sardinian armies, both of which we are sorry to say, terminated in the defeat of the latter. By the message of the Executive Directory to the council of five Hundred it appears, that the latter victory, that of Monte Lezino, was very decisive, the Austrians and Sardinians losing 10,500 men, with 40 pieces of cannon, ammunition waggons, colors, &c. &c.
The Executive Directory have, at length sent an address to the armies, in which they tell them that the time is come for the renewal of hostilities; and, in a title of bombast well suited to their exorbitant pretensions, proclaim their determination to force their enemies to accept the ignominious terms of peace which they have proposed, and which they have the modesty to denominate the most just and moderate.
PARIS, April 25.
The General in Chief of the army in Italy to the Executive Directory.
"Head Quarters at Carcare, 25th Germinal. The campaign in Italy has commenced. I have to give you an account of the battle of Montenotte."
"After three days movement to deceive us, General Beaulieu attacked, with a division of ten thousand men, the right of the army supported by Voltry."
"The General Cervoni, who commanded there, having under his orders the 70th and 99th half brigades, sustained the fire with the rapidity which characterizes the soldiers of liberty. I was not deceived with respect to the true intentions of the enemy. The instant I was informed of the circumstances of the attack on the right, I ordered Gen. Cervoni to wait the night, and to fall back, by a forced march, and conceal his movement from the enemy, upon my centre, which was supported by the heights of Madonna de Savona."
"On the 14th, at four in the morning, Beaulieu
in person, with 15,000 men, attacked and beat in all the positions by which the centre of the army had been supported; at an hour after mid day he attacked the redoubt of Monte Lezino, which was behind the entrenchment. The enemy returned several times to the charge, but this redoubt guarded by 1500 men, was rendered impenetrable by the courage of those who defended it. The chief of the brigade Rampon, who commanded there, by one of those strokes which characterize a great general and formed for brilliant actions, made his troops, in the midst of the fire, take an oath to die to a man in the redoubt.
The enemy passed the night within pistol shot. During the night Gen. Laharpe, with all the troops of the right, took post behind the redoubt of Monte Lezino. At an hour after mid night, I departed with the Generals Berthier and Messena, the commissioner Salicetti, and a part of the troops of the centre and the left. We moved by Altare, upon the flank and the rear of the enemy.
"On the 22d at break of day, Beaulieu, who had received a reinforcement, and Laharpe, attacked and fought with vigor and different success, when General Massena appeared, sowing death and terror on the flank and rear of the enemy, where M. Argenteau commanded: the route of the enemy was complete; two of their Generals, Rocavini and Argenteau, were badly wounded. The loss of the enemy was between three and four thousand men, of whom more than two thousand five hundred were made prisoners: a Col. eight or ten superior officers, and several colours were taken."
"When I shall have received all the reports, and shall be less engaged, I will send you a detail account, which may make known to you those to whom their country owes a particular acknowledgment."
"Generals, officers, and soldiers, all supported, in this memorable affair, the glory of the French name."
(Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
The success of our army in Italy has not stopped here. In the sitting of the council of Five Hundred of yesterday, the following message was read by the President from the Executive Directory.
"Citizen Representatives, the fortunate battle of Montenotte, which we informed you of by our message of the 2d of this month, was only for the invincible army of Italy, the prelude to successes still more brilliant. We have to day to announce to you a victory, decisive and most memorable, gained by that army at Monte Lezino over the united Piedmontese and Austrian armies."
"The enemy lost ten thousand five hundred men, of whom eight thousand were made prisoners. They lost likewise 40 pieces of cannon, with horses, mules, and ammunition waggons, 15 stand of colours, all their equipage and several magazines."
"Our troops, generals, officers, soldiers, all are covered with glory, and have shown themselves worthy to defend the name of liberty."
"The General in Chief, Buonaparte, again directed this attack. The other generals who seconded him in the most distinguished manner, are Laharpe, Angereau, Messena, Cervoni, Coffe, Menarde, and Goubert. This last was wounded in leaping into the entrenchments of the enemy. Two generals were killed at the head of their columns, performing prodigies of valor."
"The Gen. Provera, who commanded the Austro-Sardinian army, was made prisoner, after having evinced the most gallant resistance, with some regiments which were taken with him."
"You will declare without doubt, that the army of Italy has not ceased to deserve well of its country."
This declaration was made upon the inst. by acclamation; and the council resolved, that in two hours it should again read the message of the Directory, which should be printed, posted up, and sent to all the administrations and the armies.
Philadelphia,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1796.
We hear, Mr. PIERCE BUTLER, Senator of the United States, from the state of South Carolina, has resigned his seat in the Senate.
From the Aurora.
A letter of a late date received in this city from St. Domingo, mentions the arrival of a third division of the French fleet, at the Cape of 6 ships of the line besides frigates. Two of the ships of 110 guns. This fleet must have failed from Brest. Richeri had no ships with him of that force. It is probable that the insubordination which had shown itself on board the French squadron in Cadiz may have caused a change in its destination, and that instead of sending that out as the third West-India division another may have been dispatched from some other port.
If all the reinforcements sent from France to Hispaniola, thro' the medium of some Philadelphia papers, had arrived there, the population of the Island would have exceeded that of the parent country.
The people of the United States are to be congratulated on the complete disappointment which has hitherto attended all the designs of the enemies of our peace and independence. The factious had raised so loud a clamor that the voice of wisdom could scarcely be heard, and would entirely have been drowned in our public councils had not the PEOPLE interposed. The glorious Federal majority which has appeared in the northern and eastern states, and which no doubt exists through the union, has appalled the arch-rebels and paralyzed their efforts. We are once more escaped from the snare of these Fowlers—and an escape it has been indeed! We had better fall under foreign dominion than be at the mercy of domestic tyrants, especially men formed of such materials, as constitute the jacobinical anti-federal faction in the United States.
From Kingston we learn that a most mortal sickness rages in the island of Jamaica.
