FROM realm to realm, with cross or

Where'er mankind and misery are found,
O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds
of snow,
Great HOWARD journeying seeks the
house of woe.
Down many a winding step to dungeon dank,
Where anguished sighs aloud, and fates clank:
To caves belrew'd with many a mould'ring
bones,
And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan;
—Onward he moves!—Disease and death
retire,
And mur'm'ring demons bate him, and ad-
mitte.

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

THE BYSTANDER.
THE Theatre in Cedar Street was opened on Monday Evening, after an interval of upwards of a Twelvemonth; and THE OLD AMERICAN COMPANY of Comedians have occasion to congratulate themselves on the flattering reception they met with from a very full House. The GRECIAN DAUGHTER with the ROMP were announced for the Evening's Entertainment, with a Prelude on the occasion, called OLD AND NEW HOUSES:—No comments are offered on the merits of this Piece, the scope and design were not sufficiently comprehended—Mr. Hodgkinson laid something on the good effects of a well regulated Theatre,—of its moral tendency,—and how grateful it was to his feelings to witness again such a respectable circle of their old friends, &c. &c. all which was very well and much applauded.
The writer of this will occasionally notice, and attempt to do justice to the talents of the respective Performers of this Theatre; he will not lightly wound the feelings of any one by rigidly scrutinizing unimportant deviations from propriety—or omitting to applaud real excellencies.
The following remarks occur on the individual merits of those who personated the characters in the Tragedy:—Mr. Hodgkinson in Dionysius was great, he was the Tyrant. The Bylander does not recollect having seen greater powers exhibited on this side the Atlantic:—This gentleman has been, and always will be a favorite while he continues to improve in the public opinion. Mrs. Melmoth in Euphrasia, awakened the sensibility of the audience by her excellent acting—her fine modulating tone of voice was charmingly adapted to her pathetic appeals to the heart of the callous Tyrant, who retained her aged Father a prisoner,—throughout she evinced such excellencies in the opposite passions of anger roused—assuaged again to the softest emotions of tenderness and fear, for the fate of her imprisoned Sire, added to the heroism she displayed, in braving every danger to gratify her filial love and respect as sensibly affected all those, and many there were, who possessed, and silent dropt the spontaneous mite of sympathy. Mr. Hallam in Evander seems to have lost nothing by his advanced years.—Mr. Martin and Mr. King were very respectable in their calls, and it would be unjust to say, though not with equal success, that the performers in general did not emulate.
The Romp was admirably performed as far as respects Mrs. Hodgkinson in Priscilla Tomboy, and Mr. King in old Barnacle—but it would be a deviation from justice not to disapprove of Mr. Prigmore's manner in young Cockney—Of many candidates in that character, few of the audience perhaps ever saw a worse,—young Cockney is intended a linical Coxcomb,—Mr. Prigmore is finical, but to opposite what the author meant, that instead of making the character ridiculous, he made himself so. From his broken pronunciation it really appeared as if he was burlesquing a French Valet,—His manœuvres with his hair were indelicate, gross, coarse and militated against the managers professions in his occasional Prelude:—These are hints which no doubt he will attend to—and consequently induce a change of opinion in

FRANCE.
JACOBIN CLUB, June 12.
Robespierre appeared at the tribunal—"It is time," said he, "that patriots should fix their attention on the dangers of the country; they are not yet past. In vain the armies of the Republic shall triumph over our enemies from without, if we do not deprive their emissaries of all the means of assassinating liberty, even in its most sacred asylum. I do not come to point out to you all the dangers which threaten the national representation, I have to lay before you an object still more important, from the deep laid manner in which it is concerted, and the perilous end which it has in view; I come to submit to your inspection a sort of Proclamation, published in the British armies by order of the Duke of York a Proclamation issued in consequence of the report of Barrere, and the decree by which it is followed, that no English or Hanoverian should be made prisoner; & published with a design of exciting the hatred of the soldiers in a more direct and forcible manner against the Convention. (Robespierre then read the Proclamation.) Though very contemptible in itself, it will not be amiss, continued he, to accompany it with a short commentary.
"His Royal Highness reminds the British and Hanoverian troops, that clemency is the brightest gem in the character of a soldier: on this head he refers to the example of former periods; but what similitude is there between the circumstances as they were formerly, and as they are at present? What is there in common between liberty and despotism, between vice and virtue? That soldiers fighting for despots should give their hands to conquered soldiers to return together to the hospital, can easily be conceived; that a slave should hold intercourse with a slave, a tyrant with a tyrant, can also easily be conceived; but that a freeman should make any compromise with a tyrant or his satellites, valour with pusillanimity, virtue with vice, is what cannot be conceived, and is in its own nature impossible.
"A free man can pardon his enemy if he only present him to death: he can never pardon him if he present to him chains. York talks of humanity! What! York a soldier! How odious is a tyrant, even when he talks of humanity!
"York ascribes the decree to a pretext, and he does not undertake to prove what the pretext is. Our troops, says he, will not believe that even the French nation, &c. And what signifies to us what they believe, provided they believe in the valour of our soldiers, and the force of our bullets. Undoubtedly the French nation is infatuated, but the infatuation continues for a length of time, and undoubtedly it is reserved for the Duke of York to enlighten the French nation!
"His Highness draws a comparison between France and England. To what tends this parallel? What is there in common between the inanimate heart of a slave, and that which glows with the sacred love of liberty! England is a despicable meteor, which disappears before the Republican luminary. They would assimilate the French to the English in the field of battle, in order to corrupt the Republican virtues; a distance must be kept up between the soldiers of liberty and slaves of tyranny.
"We are not astonished that the Duke of York should have been so frightened by this decree, for the principal force of the tyrants combined against France, consists in those machinations which they have been able to carry on in the heart of the country: they will, after being conquered, still to preserve a medium of communication, in order to carry on their perfidious plots. The Duke of York, by circulating his proclamation, probably
imagines that the French armies will pay more deference to his orders than to the decrees of the Convention: but we are no longer in the time of Brissot, of Gaudet, of Geolonne: the Republic has extricated itself from the numerous factions, it has destroyed them all. That of Orleans no longer exists, but the Republic exists although it has not completely attained the end of the Revolution, for it has secretly glided, if I may so express it, over a revolutionary tract, amidst rival factions, all of which tended to establish a new system of tyranny. The true Republicans were regarded as intruders; while the Republic was advancing in its progress, all the factions exerted themselves in order to destroy it & its defenders: there were but few patriots in the commencement of the Revolution, tyrants and their agents
exerted themselves in every sense to sow amongst us division, discord and disorganization: they well know that no people can successfully combat its combined enemies, except by that concert, that union, that common point of rallying, which is alone the soul of all victories and triumphs. This plan of division has been incessantly pursued in its immense ramifications: not being able to attack the people in a mass, they attempted to separate them from the Convention, the Convention from its committees, and the members of the committees from one another. Such is the object of the proclamation of the Duke of York: the factions are not yet annihilated, they will still raise their head. His Royal Highness flatters himself that the soldiers of the two nations will confine their resentment to the National Convention. The Duke of York then relies upon treacherous plots in the interior; he relies upon the shares of imposture, on the system of immorality, and in fine on all crimes. What means also that distinction which the Duke of York confers upon me? I suppose myself a French citizen, and he makes me King of France and Navarre. I esteem too much the title of citizen, not to spurn at any title that would assimilate me to the Duke of York. Can there be anything more dear to a friend of liberty than the love of his fellow-citizens? And would the French people descend from the highest summit of glory to debate themselves to a throne? The Duke of York says I am surrounded with a military guard: you best know how far such is the fact; but it is not difficult to perceive the insidious nature of the insinuation. Let us distrust such snares; let us firmly adhere to principles; the system is against the Convention, and that is all that is necessary in order that it should be defeated. They wish to render us suspected to the people, and deprive us of the courage requisite to umask and encounter our enemies: they can only effect their object by poignards: while we exult, we will unmask and oppose tyrants, traitors and criminals!"
LECHORN, June 27.
By an English frigate arrived here this morning we learn, that Calvi is pressed more and more by the besiegers, who have cut off the fresh water, and placed a number of cannon and mortars upon a height that commands the town and castle. Lord Hood has also dispatched a ship of 84 guns from St. Florenza, with two frigates and some fire-ships, to join Admiral Hotham, who, it is supposed, would shortly attempt something against the French fleet blocked up in the bay of St. Juan.
St. JOHNS, (N. B.) August 19.
PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE!
On Saturday last arrived here from Briar Island, (Nova Scotia,) in a small boat of only 10 feet 2 inches keel, three little boys, sons of Mr. Bailey, of that place—Stephen the eldest, in his tenth year, and Charles and John, the younger ones, in their eighth and sixth years.
On Sunday morning these children, with a negro man, endeavoring to cross from Briar Island, to pick Raspberries, were forced out to sea by the strength of the tide and a strong southerly wind, and a thick fog setting in at the same time, they were soon bewildered, and every hope of return cut off. Fortunately for them, the negro had a small pocket compass, by which he ascertained the direction of the wind, and boldly determined to put before it—he accordingly sailed due north during the remainder of the day without any other accident than that of now and then shipping a little water, but no great quantities, considering how high the sea ran—As it grew dark, he steered by the wind (which providentially continued to blow from the same point) all night. In the morning the fog clearing, he descried land at a great distance to leeward, and having only a small sail
and the wind dying away, it was evening before he reached it. The place where he landed was a Mr. Dawson's, in Mace's Bay, about 16 miles to the eastward of Beaver Harbour, and near 20 leagues from where he was drove to sea. The little adventurers were received here with a kindness and warmth of hospitality, that does honor to their entertainer—the poor little things had had nothing to eat or drink for above 36 hours, and were almost famished—here they stayed, experiencing the most tender attention and generous treatment until they were able to proceed to this place. We are happy to say they are all now in perfect health and spirits, and are to return home to-morrow in a vessel which will land them at their father's door.
Never did we witness a more pleasing scene than on their arrival—it is but justice to the citizens to say, that the same sentiments of pity and compassion pervaded every bosom, and they eagerly contended with each other who should have the pleasing satisfaction of giving shelter to these little unfortunates—What must be the feelings of the unhappy parents at the supposed loss of so many fine children, swept away from the pursuit of pleasure and the lap of security into a boisterous sea, far from shore, without water, without provisions, in a bauble of a boat at the mercy of the winds, the waves and the currents; but Providence looked down with an eye of compassion on their unprotected innocence, and guided them through fogs and thick darkness over a frightful distance of a turbulent ocean to a safe and hospitable dwelling. The poor children, unconscious of their danger, and huddled together in the midst of the boat, slept great part of the way, now and then indeed waked by the dashing in of the water, they would lift their little heads and anxiously enquire, whether they were not almost at home yet? Who but anticipates, after reading this fortunate escape, the transports the ecstasy of the afflicted parents, when they shall see their dear, their tender offspring restored to them as from the depth of the grave! Every feeling heart must sympathize with them in their present grief and in their future joy. May that God who has preserved them hitherto continue his protection, and return these innocent babes unhurt to their present miserable and disconsolate parents.
PHILADELPHIA,
SEPTEMBER 24.
Yesterday the Legislature of this Commonwealth adjourned sine die.
During the short session of three weeks, the following are the most material articles of business which have been transferred—
An act to suppress the Western insurrection—
Some acts for local accommodation in building elections—An act to enable the militia now on service to vote at the next general election—An act for erecting a bridge over the Race-Town branch of the Schuylkill—
A new Health-Office act—An act for settling the accounts of Nathaniel Falconer—
An act for suspending the proposed establishment at Presqu'isle, &c. Some laudable exertions were made to procure grants of money for several important purposes, viz. for the College at Carlisle—the University of Pennsylvania—payment of arrearages due for work on the house designed for the residence of the President of the United States; but the several motions on these points were referred to the next Legislature.
Macpherson's Blues on Monday evening reached the foot of the Orange-tree, 3 miles from the city, on the new road to Lancaster, and were there quartered in barns. Yesterday morning they proceeded on their march at 8 o'clock. The main body of infantry have taken the old road and encamped on Monday evening at the sign of the Buck, eleven miles from the city.
James Ross, Esquire arrived in town yesterday from the westward.
We hear that most of the leaders in the insurrection have subscribed to the test of allegiance to the laws of the United States.
The brig Hector, Captain Baker, arrived here yesterday, sailed from Bourdeaux the 12th of July, and the river the 18th. She brings no news. The ship Louisa sailed in company with Captain Baker, for Philadelphia, and the barque Prudence 10 days before.
Extract of a letter from Trenton, September 22.
"This morning about 700 men (part of General Bloomfield's command) took up the line of march, and crossed the Delaware, on their route westward. They are really a fine body of militia, and if it should unhappily be necessary to direct their arms against the insurgents, they

are determined to consider them as the worst of enemies, and convince them that Jersey militia will not easily part with their arms to foreign or domestic foes."
Captain Doane, of the Schooner Hope was taken by the Bermudian privateer, Experiment on Friday last, in the Delaware, within three miles of the Light-house, with a pilot on board, and carried to Bermuda. The Hope had been formerly taken by a French privateer and carried into Gonaives, but was there permitted to sell her cargo and return home. It appears she was on her return and in the Delaware when taken by the Bermudian.
The Royal Humane Society on London have lately reported, that within a few years they have saved by their exertions more than 1800 lives. This is the most sublime eulogium that we can pronounce on that and similar institutions in the United States.
THOMAS PAINE,
To the friends of Liberty and Literature, proposes to institute and publish a New paper, in Boston under the title of the FEDERAL ORRERY.
Solemque suum, sua sidera, norunt.
CONDITIONS.
The Orrery will be published every Tuesday and Friday; the price to subscribers, will be fifteen shillings (2 dols. and 50 cents) per annum, exclusive of postage.
Extracts from the Conductor's Address
TO THE PUBLIC.
"Westward the orb of Empire" darts its ray, And Europe's ebbing tide controuls: Westward, the bright companion of its way, The sister-star, of Science rolls.
The title and motto which the Editor has chosen, he presumes, will be universally consonant with the principles and sentiments of every description of citizens. No spectacle can be more gratifying to the patriot, nor more useful to the union of Americans, than the political Orrery, which exhibits to the naked eye of reason, the accordant motions of the Fifteen Planes , revolving, by the equal energy of state-projection, and federal attraction, around the Sun of Government , whose orb, diffusing light and heat throughout the hemisphere, beams not from a focus , but the centre of the system.
Typographical universalism should ever be the creed of a free regulator of a press. In the announcement of foreign intelligence, therefore, the most indefatigable vigilance, and inflexible impartiality, will be evinced. When the prolixity or confusion of articles prevents their insertion at length, the editor will endeavor to combine, in a miniature, the principal features of the portrait; but, in his draught of the outline, he will cautiously avoid the least use of his colours. He is sensible, that it is an arduous task to distinguish truth from fabrication, when the vehicles of foreign information are made to convey different descriptions of the same events. To remedy an evil in part, which admits of no radical cure, he will open a ledger-account; enter debt and credit; and leave it to a judicious public, to strike the balance.
In the dearth of intelligence, an attic ragout will be provided for the palate of the literary epicure. Original dialogues, combining a mixture of point, humor and sentiment, will be variously interspersed with periodical essays, well seasoned with moral savour; classical compositions, unadulterated by quaintness or pedantry; interesting localities, unrivaled by personal flattery; literary criticisms, equally remote from adulation or acrimony; and fictions of indigenous poetry, blooming in full verdure and fragrance, from their parent stalk. For the successful accomplishment of so novel and various an enterprize, the recluse son of science, the meditating moralist, the experienced pedestrain in the fields of general literature, the able disputant in the forum of jurisprudence, the queen of the Columbian Muses, and all the family of Apollo, are respectively invoked. Their elegant and useful supplies, from the banks of genius, education and taste, will be gratefully received; and political commentaries will never fail to meet that critical respect and impartial insertion, which the editor intends, shall give a momentum to the wheels of the Orrery.

NEW-YORK, Sept. 22.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Limerick (Ireland), to his friend in this city, dated July 15, 1794.
"It is now pretty generally believed that we shall have a peace with France; our fleets have proved victorious, at the same time that our armies have been dreadfully beaten by these brave Republicans wherever met with. They have driven us from their territories, and have pursued their victories by seizing on Flanders and Brabant; Ghent, Bruges, Nieuport, Ostend, &c. are now in their possession, and we fear the Duke of York and army are in a Burgoyning condition, (under the rose) I think it would be a happy circum-
stance, as we should then be driven to peace indeed.—Tumults in Spain are arrived to a great height, and we rejoice at the idea of a Revolutionary Tribunal appearing in Madrid shortly. I think the French Committee of Public Safety is a grand body, their views extend to the revolution of the world; kingdoms, states, or empires or small theatres of action to these magnanimous heroes and liberators of mankind: And may they go on until tyranny and usurpation, monarchy and aristocracy, are alike blended and melted down in the crucible of Liberty and Democracy. I can assure you the leaven of Liberty and Equality is by degrees about to leaven the whole world. God is triumphantly going forward in the chariot of regeneration: the Gospel talks of the new man; our ideas are enlarged, and we now talk of nations and a new world; here my friend is a scale of action to our ideas, which bursts forth with resplendent glory. The prophet speaks of a nation being born in a day, behold the critical period of these latter times! we are on the eve of great events; they are at the door: and tho' you are removed from them, I am in their midst: and if I perish in the glorious struggle, I shall die a martyr, not like my forefathers in the cause of tyrants, but shall shout "Vive la nation." "I admire the glorious patriotic spirit of the New-Yorkers in working at the fortifications, &c. and for some moments I almost imagined myself just going to take boat with those of my occupation, to add to the spirit of the day."
A vessel which left Guadalupe August 26th, brings accounts, that the French had possession of Point a Petre at that time, and that the English were bombarding the place. Capt Jacobs, who left Martinico 4 days later, informs that the French had evacuated the place, their troops being much reduced by sickness.
From a Correspondent.
By a vessel in 20 days from Martinique, intelligence is received that the French troops, reduced to 300, had quitted Point a Petre, and retired to the mountains, but afterwards surrendered to Sir Charles Grey: also, that they previously had sunk a ship of the line, armed en flute, and 6 frigates, which brought from France the 1500 men composing the army that made a descent on Bellerophon. And, by the same opportunity, we are informed Sir John Jervis has appointed Robert Winthrop, Esq. of New-London, to the command of his Majesty's ship Albicore, vice Captain Parker, deceased, in reward for very eminent services during the siege of Martinique. He was the Admiral's first Lieut. in the Boyne of 98 guns.
NEW-LONDON, Sept. 17.
Effects of Jealousy.
At ten o'clock on Monday night, the cry of murder was heard in the house of James Hart, in Beach-street, in this city; some people immediately ran into the house, and found Hart and his wife extended on the floor, to appearance with their throats cut; Physicians soon arrived, and on examination found the wounds on the neck of the man to be merely superficial incisions; but the throat of his wife was cut in a most shocking manner; the incision began from the left mastoid muscle by the first stroke, and extended to the os hyoides; a repeated stroke from the right ear met the left incision and opened the os hyoides into the wind pipe; the third stroke was a stab, which separated the right external jugulars, which emitted near four quarts of blood—fortunately neither of the two carotid arteries were separated, and her wounds are supposed not to be mortal. Hart, the supposed perpetrator of the horrid act, is committed to prison for trial, at the Superior Court which sits in this city on Tuesday next.
Arrived.
Sloop Sally, D. Fanning, from Trinidad, 30 days passage—came passengers, Mr. Michael Todd, Merchant of New-Haven, Mr. Nugent and sister, Dr. Clark and family—markets very low—left there 30 sail of American vessels.
NEWPORT, Sept. 15.
Last Wednesday put in here, being short of provisions, the brig —, Capt. Britton, upwards of ten weeks from Ireland, having near 200 passengers, men, women and children, bound to Philadelphia.
BOSTON, Sept. 19.
On Monday last arrived at Marblehead, Capt. Knot Pedrick, in a Schooner, in 40 odd days from Madeira. Just before he left Madeira a vessel arrived
there in 8 days from Gibraltar—and brought papers which contain particulars of an engagement between an English frigate and 4 Algerine cruizers—the substance of which was, that the Algerines hailed the Englishman, and ordered him to bring his papers on board—which the English Captain refused; the order was then repeated, with a threat, that if it was not complied with, the Turkish vessels would fire upon the frigate—the answer was "Fire and be damned"—an engagement instantly ensued, which terminated in the sinking of two of the Algerine corsairs; and the capture of the other two; which were conducted to Gibraltar.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, Esq. our Minister Resident at the Hague, failed for Europe on Wednesday last, in the ship Alfred, Capt. Macey.
From Copenhagen, information has come that our Extra Minister at the British Court, was not likely to adjust the differences between the two countries so amicably as at first expected. The difficulty arose from Mr. Jay's demanding restitution of American vessels in all cases of capture; and the British wishing to except those from restoration which were taken carrying the Produce of French Islands to Europe.
COMMUNICATIONS.
It must afford all friends to the reign of the law and good government, the highest satisfaction to find the disposition of the people generally so favorable to their existence and determined in supporting them. The patriotic exertions of the Governor of Pennsylvania, are above all praise, and the Citizens of that state, as well as the other states from which the militia have been drafted, turned out with an alacrity hardly to be expected, when the service is considered. The Insurgents we hope, will be induced either by fear, or a sense of error, to seek an accommodation—and thereby avert the horrors of domestic carnage—and a civil war. But they must be convinced from the readiness of the militia to march against them, that all attempts to overturn or innovate on the powers of a government based on the hearts of the people, will be impotent, as
"Tube behind tube eternal guards shall keep, Whilist in their wombs ten thousand thunders sleep," To blast such miscreants.

An ELEGY on the Court of Sessions.
Written in the Court-House.
WEEP, O ye friends of litigation, weep— All who in mad confusion here resort, Who ne'er permit your wrangling souls to sleep, But love the ruptures of a noisy court: But first ye swarms of peace-commanding squires, By whatsoe'er names or titles known, Put on your mourning (for the day requires) And join to bemoan the grief-created groan. For now no more the stated term shall come, When gathering Squirehips meet with boar-py pride, To tell how many eyes, made red with rum, Or black with boxing, by themselves were tried. To tell how many love-inspiring tricks Have in close confab been by them disclosed; That so the weakness of the weaker sex May to the gaping crowd be now expos'd. And O! ye frail ones, who by nature led, And the soft whispers of your sweethearts dear; To tell how many eyes, made red with rum, Or black with boxing, by themselves were tried. Have lov'd too well the pleasing paths you tread; Here mourn your loss, and drop the expressive tear. For now no more each sex rewarding squire With solemn phiz—shall mount the justice seat To view the squalling babe, then fix the fire, Who from their honors bows, can read his fate. Mourn then ye damsels with uncommon grief, Nor check the currents of the bursting tide, But bring for safety, many a handkerchief To wipe the various streams of grief aside. For now alas, the mournful time is come, When all your hopes of future justice flies; Hear it ye votaries both of love, and rum, For lo, this week the Court of Sessions—DIES.
From the Columbian Mercury.
From a Correspondent.
As it is surmised that the Pennsylvania Counties, now in a state of insurrection, intend to declare themselves independent, it is hoped they will change the names of Washington and Fayette, for that of La Vendee; and Pittsburgh for that of Lyons: But as to the last, considering what sort of folks dwell in it, and also what sort of folks would rejoice to see our Republic in confusion, it may be well to call it Pitts Burrow;
all which is however submitted to the Jacobin Clubs.

Extract of a letter from a Gentleman residing in London, to his Correspondent residing in Boston, dated April 12, 1794.
DEAR SIR,
"I GAVE a transcript of your letter, containing your opinion of the measures most proper to be adopted, in order to prevent a rupture with America, to Ministers; and gave you the full credit of it. I am, indeed, sorry to see our favourite America likely to plunge herself into the present dreadful convulsions which shake Europe. I lament the growing calamity; and most sincerely hope their wisdom and temper, aided by the conciliatory measures, which I have reason to believe are about to be adopted by Great Britain, will yet prevail to avert it.—When I say our favourite America, I believe I speak the language of affection and attachment, which most of the English bear towards your people, as being virtually of their own family, and to whom they certainly give the preference over all the rest of the world. But in the name of common sense, what can be their object? By their neutrality, they will command the world in every way, which can possibly promote and strengthen their rising states: By entering into the contest, they must lose all they have hitherto recruited by a ten years peace: Ten years more will raise them to opulence and strength, rendering them formidable to their enemies every where:
To interrupt that progress at this time, would probably throw them back into a state of consumptive decrepitude, which it would require many generations to repair. As to the Western posts, I wish they were given up, and even Canada itself, which is more a source of contention than advantageous to Great Britain. But what is it the United States have not? They are draining the mines of Mexico and Peru through Spain. They are alluring all the riches of distressed France into their jurisdiction: They are about to render Portugal dependent on their ports: They possess command by affection, intercourse and mutual accommodation, the whole commercial interests of Great Britain; They are every where exchanging their surplus products, which would with them, otherwise be waste, for the wealth of every corner of the Globe. By being the carriers of the whole World, which, under neutrality, they must be, they are rapidly augmenting the real and most essential strength of a nation: They are giving employment to, and promoting the industry of their people:
They are enabling their subjects to acquire property abroad, in order to spend it at home, in the nurture of domestic manufactures, and the culture of their soil: They are thus promoting internal stores and riches, on which hereafter, if unavoidable, to erect and fortify the real sinews of defence and even of offence. I could go on for ever contemplating their true pursuits, their real, their only interests, as founded in neutrality and peace; all which, should they unhappily be drawn in to engage in the present troubles, must inevitably be sacrificed, alike under success, or defeat. I am as strong an advocate for the true principles and meaning of liberty, when regulated by, and subordinate to good order, fixed laws, and christianity, as any man; and there are not many men in the world who have more at stake in it than I have; but when a state misapplies the term, and acts upon mistaken principles of liberty, they destroy the very object of their pursuit, and instead of laying the foundation of liberty, in the practice of genuine religion, morality, justice and dignity, on which to build the fabric of lasting peace and happiness to the human race, they only propagate a wild and ungovernable enthusiasm, which can only terminate in anarchy and misrule, of which we have a melancholy example before our eyes, in the present dreadful situation of a neighboring nation.
May God, in his infinite wisdom and goodness, avert all such mischiefs from our favourite America, and may the moderation, firmness, and disinterestedness of WASHINGTON, long be their example for imitation, contrasted with the wildness of neighbouring States, to preserve them in the inestimable benefits and advantages of a fair, impartial and dignified neutrality towards all the belligerent Powers, by which they can alone preserve their internal and domestic tranquility!
"I have detained you longer on this subject than I was aware of. I wish I could any how open their eyes to their true interests, and any way contribute to preserve them from the impending
horrors of the most dreadful war that ever the human race was cursed with, since the creation of the world."
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.
Translated for this Gazette—from the Courier Francois of this morning.
Extract of a Letter from St. Domingo, dated at St. Marc's, the 2d and 27th August—to a friend in Philadelphia.
I disembarked at St. Marc's after 21 days passage—I have been astonished at the disasters I have witnessed; they are immemorable—those at Gonaives among others, where by the treason of the Spaniards in concert with the negroes we lost 230 men, nearly all inhabitants. The suburbs were destroyed by fire—the people saved themselves at St. Marc's some by land and some by water. The English amidst all the adversity of existing circumstances, conduct themselves well—we do not complain of all the Spaniards; but the President Don Garcia is a traitor.
In the affair of Fort Dauphin, 771 inhabitants were massacred by the troops of Jean Francois. The whites were those victims who by the perfidious insinuations of Father Vasquez, that scourge of Assabon were sacrificed to the vengeance of Don Garcia, made furious by an address & complaint made against him signed by these same inhabitants, as well as by the officers of the Spanish squadron, and sent to the Court of Spain.
Eight days since the legion of Montalembert consisting of 200 men, made a successful sortie—they took the chief and were going to punish him, but he begged his life and promised to discover some camps of negroes—this he has done.—He gave the word of command—which was cochon dans bois, et plante patate . Montalembert attacked a camp, surprised the centinel, and found 900 negroes, which he put to the sword—Since then Montalembert has had new successes.
Yesterday a Vessel arrived from the Cape bringing the women which Viatte commandant of that City had sent off—They were bound to Port de paix, but by contrary winds were driven below Tortue—and the Captain was obliged to come in here. The passengers report that they left about 60 Whites women and children and 3 or 400 mulattoes. (To be concluded To-morrow.)
The toasts published in yesterday's Gazette, were given at a meeting of a number of French Citizens on Monday last, who assembled to celebrate the foundation of the French Republic—or the commencement of the New French year.
A Gentleman from Wilmington N. C. informs that on the 19th of Sept. at 10 o'clock A. M. the Ship Nancy of London, Capt. McDonald from New-York bound to Wilmington, was cast ashore in a gale of wind on the North side of the frying pan shoals, the Ship in a few minutes after the struck was totally dismasted—the Capt. & crew were all saved.
Short Logic for Insurgents.
Either the insurrection is right or it is wrong. If right, the people of America will see the propriety of it and join the Insurgents—If wrong, the people will unite to support government, and the Insurrection will be crushed. If the Insurrection should succeed by becoming general, a revolution is the consequence. If it should be suppressed, much property will be wasted, much expense incurred, the burdens of these very Insurgents will be augmented blood may be shed, violent animosities will be kindled between fellow-citizens; and the deluded multitude must at last submit to the laws, with disgrace and accumulated burdens. After being subdued, should they collect in small parties, violate property or personal safety, and give much trouble, a standing force becomes necessary—this force must be under the direction of the executive, whose power will thus be increased; and thus a standing army and despotic power will grow out of the factions and the turbulence of our republic, and a free government must end, as every free government has ended, in arbitrary power.
Such has been the progress of all free states, and such is the commencement of the progress of the United States. Men, in resisting the few unavoidable evils of government, bring a load of unnecessary evils on their shoulders. Too much liberty, that is, the liberty of private wills, or licentiousness leads to anarchy, and when the law is prostrated, men enjoy no liberty at all.
Violence may pull down and change a government; but power will always prevail at last; and when men who wish to enjoy peace and security, perceive that mild laws and a gentle government will not give them peace and security they will sit down tamely under an arbitrary government, rather than be forever exposed to the storms and whirlwinds of mobs and insurrections. Thus it is that the insurgents furnish the strongest arguments for a high-toned government and realize the very danger of a public loss of liberty which they design to prevent. Minerva.

The TRIAL OF
Maurice Margarot, Before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for
SEDITIONARY PRACTICES.
"Of the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of crimi- nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal pe- culiar and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- est views and objects of the British conven- tion; and proves incontrovertibly, that judi- cial prosecutions (or persecutions) and de- cisions are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constit- ution. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unaffrighted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first-rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the ven- al and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment."
Lachawannock. A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and nu- merous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country. The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, naviga- ble to the Susquehannah. Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empt- ies itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah. It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well water- ed meadow ground. The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance. Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers. Roads are cut in different directions, to- wards the most convenient markets. The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement. The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city. Another means of connection with Phil- adelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles. The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every en miles square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians. For further particulars apply to George Eddy. Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phil- adelphia, or this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. codam

C. W. PEALE. EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the in- terests of useful science, has on the sug- gestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, in- ventions, improvements, schemes, obser- vations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate.
Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications ano- nymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communica- tions in a private book which he shall keep for that purpose.
The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may se- cure to inventors their just claims, and pre- vent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not en- titled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of dissemi- nating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and inven- tion, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.
