The Way to Wealth, Improved.
AN ESSAY.
Frequent opportunities of examining the conduct of men, getting forward in the world, has convinced me that Dr. Franklin's maxims are only calculate for those sober economical beings, whose abilities confine them to a mediocrity in life. Very few people have it in their power to reduce them to practice, because they are industry for their foundation; and he who is conversant with mankind must have observed it to be a quality rarely met with. It is the more evident that Franklin's maxims must operate in a very limited circle; while the following, I presume, will be of infinite service to all those who wish to acquire fortunes, without Industry, Economy or Virtue.
Many authors of credit have asserted, that every man has a genius fitted for some science or profession; and by proceeding in the path nature has thus assigned him, he will become eminent. Lavater, whose writings on physiognomy promise fair to bring that science into repute, boldly asserts, and almost incontrovertibly proves that the qualities of the mind are visibly expressed in the countenance. I acknowledge the potency of his arguments; and as very few countenances exhibit the signs of a possessed hypocrisy, it cannot be expected many of the readers will become illiterate, from the observance of the principles and maxims laid down in this essay; but I will take upon me to say, they may be benefited from it, and in some measure succeed.
Those who have been obliged to flee from England, on account of their tricks being detected, will find this essay of inestimable value, when they enter on a new life in America: it will enable them to avoid the shoals and quicksands of Integrity, upon which they founded in the other world.
Notwithstanding the spirit of Christianity has been long dispensed with in the trading world, yet the cover under which it used to be kept, is found of infinite service. And such as wish to rise in life will find a cloak of this Religion stuff absolutely necessary. "Set a thief to catch a thief," is a vulgar proverb; yet all worldly transactions vouch for its truth.
Judicious emigrants from England will assume the garb of some persecuted sect: it will ensure them a cordial reception in a country where "birds of a feather flock together."
When introduced to a stranger of the same sect, say very little; but when he mentions any circumstance of persecution, or touches on the times, be sure to twirl your thumbs, and look at the ceiling overhead, that he may have an opportunity of viewing the white part of your eyes; at the same time a gentle shake of the head, will show the purity of your heart, and convince him, you are a man of feeling. With him your business is done and you may rely upon my word, that he will exert himself to the utmost in your service, when it does not interfere with his own interest.
With a man of business your task is more difficult; he will probably begin to talk on the subject of trade, and on your joining the conversation he would have an opportunity of seeing your ignorance and thereby deprive yourself of his assistance. The greatest caution is here necessary;—Answer him by—yes or no—taking care to coincide with him in opinion, until you are become acquainted with his mode of thinking:—this done you may venture—"I know it, Sir,"—'tis quite familiar;"—"That's an observation I myself have frequently made,"—taking care to avoid giving any opinion of your own. By this means he will be given to understand you are more conversant in the subject than himself, the pleasure he receives from hearing his own discourse will prevent his discovery of the cheat and make him fancy, your conduct proceeds from gravity and knowledge. Conscious of his own feelings; ignorant of yours, he will place a dependence on your superior judgement and afford you opportunities of, "taking him in."
In company with men who may benefit you, listen to their conversation, and whenever you have an idea on the same subject, which rather improves upon theirs, mention it: they will give you credit for understanding the whole better than themselves. In all companies opportunities of this kind occur, and the person who has sense to avail himself of them will certainly find his advantage.
Impudence is a great virtue. Get to know every body's business; ask a number of questions, and don't be mortified when an answer is refused.
Pull yourself into the company of
men of repute; never fail to tell them of the number and respectability of our intimate friends;—amongst these you must class all the people of credit whom you have the least knowledge of—introducing their name with, "my worthy Friend Mr. _____, or Mr. _____ a Gentleman of my acquaintance, for whom I have the Greatest Esteem," &c. by which means you will create a value to yourself at their expense.
Invite any stranger that can further your views, to your house:—turn the discourse upon politics;—take out an old letter to read as containing intelligence from Europe by an intimate friend and correspondent of yours:—invent any thing which suits the general politics of the day, and repeat it as from your friends: This will never fail getting you consequence, credit and connections, if tolerably well managed.
If you are an Englishman, and wish to get into business here, neglect none of the above maxims, but add this, following:—whenever you are in company with any of your discontented countrymen (and many there are, because the Americans do not supply them with luxuries while they continue in idleness,) make it a point, to brand all Americans with the appellations "Lazy Rogues,"—"The Greatest Thieves upon earth" &c.:—but if Americans be your companions; be a Democrat thirsting for the blood of Tyrants and Kings.
To complete the character, be remarkably attentive to the Sabbath, walk to Church with all the Dignity and Solemnity you can muster on the occasion; choose a conspicuous place, and let the fervency of your devotion attract the notice of the saints; after the service return with the same sanctity of deportment. Never powder your head except on Sunday (just to distinguish you from the Vulgar,) and then let your hair hang straight.
By a strict conformity to the principles of action laid down in this Essay, you may acquire unbounded credit and confidence; and by employing others to perform the laborious part of business, be left at leisure to enjoy the blessings of pride, luxury, and sensuality.
N.
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, September 4.
There is in New Jersey, about four miles from Newark, a Copper Mine, called, from the original proprietor, Schuyler's Mine.—It was discovered before the late Revolution, and some Eays made on the ore, which was sent to England to ascertain its richness, and obtain the premium for the discovery; but the war suspended the working of the Mine. A company is now formed for carrying on the digging, and extraction of the Copper from the ore, which is said to yield nearly three parts of four. The water is discharged from the Mine by a Steam Engine which completely answers its purpose.
A smelting mill, it is said, will be erected at Paterson for refining the Copper.
Results of observations on the Thermometer and Hygrometer, made at Schuyler's Copper Mine, near Newark, State of New Jersey, on Monday August 18, 1794.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY,
Pinckney District, South-Carolina.
The committee appointed to take into consideration the resolves of the Democratic Society, held in Philadelphia, May 1st, 1794, make the following report:
1st. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That the government of the United States ought to be administered upon a fair and honest construction of the constitution, as explained to the people at the time of its adoption; and that the people received it under full assurance that the three different branches were to be kept distinct, is manifest.
2d. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That the appointment of John Jay, Chief Justice of the United States, as envoy extraordinary to the court of Great Britain, was a flagrant outrage committed on the spirit and plain sense of the constitution, by uniting functions which were ever intended to be kept distinct, which has a direct tendency to destroy all responsibility in both the judiciary and executive departments.
3d. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That after the declaration of John Jay, that the British were perfectly right in their detention of the western posts, to appoint him to a business which immediately involved a requisition of those posts, was a very improper measure, as it could not be probable that his efforts would be strenuous when he acted in direct contradiction to his decided opinion.
4th. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That it is too much narrowing the salutary operations of a republican government to confine its administration to a few individuals; and that our constitution never intended a monopoly of functions for any one of our citizens.
5th. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That the objects contemplated in the appointment of John Jay, as envoy extraordinary to the Court of Great-Britain, must have been the personal aggrandizement of himself; or that he was a fit instrument to facilitate measures for bringing about a radical change in our republican government, and assimilate it to the monarchical government of Great Britain; else why not confide in our consul already at that court, whose abilities and integrity are unquestionable?
6th. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, That mysteries in government are repugnant to the principles of republicanism; and can exist only in such governments as are dependent upon, and subject to, the will of its rulers; and that they were expelled this country with their kindred royalty upon the establishing of its independence; and any attempt to introduce them again, should be regarded as a violation of equal liberty.
7th. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, that it is magnanimous in freemen to watch over their liberties; and when any attacks are made upon them, to point out the aggressors, that they may be held up as marks of the just odium of offended liberty; and evidence to the world, that no situation in life, neither family connections nor illustrious extraction, nor elevation of office, nor abounding in wealth, shall form a sufficient protection for any citizen in sacrificing the interest of millions to promote the grandeur of a few.
Ordered, That the printers in Columbia and Charleston be requested to publish the above.
By order of the Society, ALEXR. MOORE, Secretary.
PHILADELPHIA, SEPTEMBER 8.
There is now to be sold by Mr. Dobson, a publication entitled "PRINCIPLES AND OBSERVATIONS, applied to the manufacture and inspection of Pot and Pearl Ashes" by David Townsend, inspector of pot and pearl ashes for the commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The original design of these observations, was to relieve the author in his business—having found that many persons employed in the manufacture of potash were unacquainted with the principles on which it ought to be conducted, to be successful; and much opposition to combat, after a new system of inspection had been by law established in Massachusetts.
The publication has answered the design in a much greater degree than was expected. The ashes sent to Boston market (by the same persons) the current year, being better, beyond all comparison, than they ever sent before—and numbers who thought themselves experienced manufacturers have acknowledged themselves indebted to the observations for great improvements in their business.
Directions founded on experience, must be doubly useful to those who are settling new Countries, for there the business of manufacturing ashes, must have every advantage if properly attended to.
What else can be done with such infinite quantities of wood, that must be in some way destroyed, when clearing the land, and which if, disposed of in this way, must be an immense source of business, and profit to the settlers of our western country.
These observations are couched in
terms easy to be understood, and such expressions used as are agreeable to the language by which workmen usually understand each other.
Extract of a letter from Providence, dated August 29, to a gentleman in this City.
"We have now to inform you that the anti-federal interest in this state, privately concerted a design to displace our two worthy representatives, Messrs. Bourn and Malbone, to effect which the most abominable falsehoods respecting those gentlemen, were industriously circulated in the country, every species of disingenuous policy, alias left handed wisdom was applied to effect the nefarious design, which did not transpire till a few days previous to the time of election, which was on Tuesday last; but it is with exultation we add that the attempt was defeated, and Messrs. Bourn and Malbone are re-elected to a seat in Congress by a handsome majority. We think we can add with confidence, that the citizens of the Eastern states almost universally reprobate the conduct of your Pennsylvania Insurgents, and most cordially approve the spirited and decisive measures adopted by the supreme executive of your state, to enforce obedience to the laws."
Is it possible that those wild Irishmen, can expect to set at defiance, all authority, and yet escape with impunity? These are the execrable fruits of Democratic Societies, thank heaven there are no such monitors existing in our state."
Our own Manufactures.
We are happy to hear that ONE of the frigates at least, ordered to be built by Congress, is to be clothed with Duck, manufactured in the United States; and considering the thorough and long experience of its good qualities, it seems difficult to conceive of any substantial reasons that can be assigned, why the whole number should not—the following certificate lately appeared in a Boston paper—and is one among others that might be produced of the attestation to the superior quality of the American sail cloth.
MR. RUSSEL,
IT is unquestionably the duty of every citizen to render that justice to the Manufactures of his country which truth and experience will justify. It is therefore that I request you to inform the public, That, in August, 1791. I purchased a quantity of SAIL CLOTH, made at the Manufactory in Boston, for the use of the ship Margaret, on a voyage to the Northwest coast of America; that the sails made of the said cloth, were on the yards, and in constant wear, thirty-four months, and are now in good condition. I feel happy in being able to make this declaration, and farther to say, that I never failed with better cloth, and that I think it equal if not superior, to any imported.
JAMES MAGEE.
Boston, August, 27, 1794.
The frigates now building in the United States will unquestionably be clothed with the duck of the Manufactory in this town. Indeed, if the manufacturers continue their endeavors towards perfection, the ocean will soon be whitened with the product of our looms.
Nature designed the United States to be a commercial empire—In order, therefore, that she may assume her destined rank, she must have a naval force which will be able to protect her trading ships from insult and depredation.
Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Come and see.
From the General Advertiser.
There can be no better criterion of the happy turn affairs have taken in the Western counties of this state than the complexion of the Pittsburgh paper last come to hand. The sentiments expressed, immediately under the Pittsburgh head, tho' a few weeks since they would have caused the writer and printer to be expelled from the town, must be considered now as in unison with the feelings of the great body of the people. The ambitious demagogues who have there attempted to raffle themselves into notice by taking hold of the passions of the people, will, from the present state of affairs, it appears be sunk to their true level by the good sense of that people.
But lest old anach's balance fail, Here's something dropt in t'other scale.
From the same paper.
Our barkers are still loud against Democratic Societies, and thereby only prove their fears of their increasing ascendancy; an ascendancy founded on the genuine worth of their principles and the good sense of the people. Fain would our aristocrats discredit every establishment capable of keeping the people awake to their
interests and throw light on the conduct of their servants; fain would they envelope the proceedings of government in impenetrable and mysterious secrecy, the people know their rights and will assert them.
The New-York Journal says,—We understand that letters to the 8th July came by the Packet; and state, that the remains of the combined armies had abandoned Brussels, and had retreated to and entered Antwerp, and that the patriots were in full chase of them; That the Duke of York was a prisoner; that all the Prussian troops were called home—That Offend port was filled with stores; that Valenciennes was evacuated; that Howe was to sail with 30 sail about July 13, whom the French were preparing to meet; in short, that all the combination were DISAFFECTED—overtures for PEACE were wished for, &c.
We are informed that there is a letter in town, from a gentleman in Canada, informing that the advance of the American army, on its march to Miami had encountered and defeated a party of Indians, and took 40 prisoners; that upon the approach of the army to the fort lately erected by a detachment of British soldiers, the garrison retired, without opposition, leaving 4 pieces cannon, and that it was destroyed by the orders of General Wayne. Not having obtained a sight of the letter, we are unable to state particulars. Am. D. A.
Extract of a letter from a Clergyman in London, to his friend and correspondent in this city, dated June 21, 1794.
"Yesterday I received your very acceptable present of the two pamphlets and the certificate. When perusing the minutes of the proceedings of a Convention of delegates from the abolition societies, I was much surprised to find, that the execrable man trade is yet carried on by some of the citizens of the United States; and that they traffic in human flesh, to supply the demands of Mammom and Moloch in other countries, as well as in their own: for I had pleaded myself with supposing, that the subjects of the British government had a monopoly of that infamy which belongs to such outrageous inhumanity, injustice and cruelty—When, beneficent God!—when will thou arise, effectually to plead the cause of the degraded Africans, those outcasts of humanity!
"It gives me great pleasure to find, that there are so many societies instituted in the United States, for the abolition of slavery; and it is my ardent prayer, that God may render their united efforts effectual to the end of their institution. I think myself highly honored, and exceedingly obliged, by the president and members of the Pennsylvania Society, for the respect they have shown to the feeble exertions of philanthropy, by electing me a member of their body; to whom I request that you, Sir, would be so kind as to present my grateful acknowledgements. I am both pleased and instructed, by Mr. Granville Sharp's letter to the Maryland Society. Some time ago, a paragraph appeared in our newspapers here, purporting, that your Congress had determined slavery should cease at the end of twenty two months, in all the United States. This report gave both me and others great pleasure; but I have my doubts whether it be authentic. Hope you will be so kind as to give me information on that subject, the first opportunity. I wish also to be informed, whether, the state of Kentucky formed their civil constitution, so as to exclude slavery from among them. With what an awful visitation was your city afflicted, in the course of last summer and fall! How great the mortality, and how pungent the distress, of survivors! in which distress, you, I have been informed, had a share. In how many ways doth Jehovah say; be still and know that I am God? and in how many instances doth he call upon us to let our affections on things above!
The following was presented to the House of Representatives on Saturday last.
To the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania the memorial of the subscribers, manufacturers of musk, and of Refined Sugar, on behalf of themselves and other Citizens of Pennsylvania—
Respectfully sheweth,
"That your memorialists having in vain petitioned and remonstrated, against the passing of an act of Congress for imposing a partial and oppressive excise, upon their manufactures; for their own sake, and for the sake of posterity deem it incumbent on them to implore the interposition and influence of a legislature which may be considered as the most immediate guardians of the rights and liberties of the citizens of Pennsylvania, to rescue them from the impending danger.
"That the reasons which actuate your memorialists in opposition to the establishment of an excise system, upon the infant manufactures of America, will appear in the annexed copies of the memorials which have been presented to Congress upon the subject: And they cannot avoid adding, as a point deserving your serious consideration, that if in their opinion of the nature and consequences of such a system they have erred, the error has been taught them by a Congress of the United States, not exceeded in Wisdom, Virtue, or Patriotism, by any political body which has since been known to the Union. In the address transmitted by Congress to the inhabitants

Canada in the month of October 1774, is emphatically declared "that you are subjected to the imposition of Excises, the horror of all free States; thus wresting your property from you; by the most odious of taxes, and laying open to intolent tax-gatherers houses the scenes of domestic peace and comfort, and called the Castles of English subjects in the books of their law."
As free men your memorialists thus instructed do not hesitate to assert their horror of the recent attempt to impose without the pretext of a want of more eligible resources, an excise system upon the people, and although they will forever disavow a lawless opposition to the government, they cannot suppress their apprehension that measures of this nature may undermine that confidence and attachment to the constitution and laws of the nation, which would eventually be found essential to their prosperity and operation.
That left the propriety of expressing your sentiments on the occasion may be questioned, your memorialists beg leave to observe that what is right to be done by an individual citizen cannot be wrong when it becomes the act of a collected body possessing a knowledge of the interests, and appointed to transact the most important affairs of the community. But the house of Representatives has already set an example on this very subject by the vote which they passed on the 22d of January 1791, and unless a difference of the subject makes a difference in the right your memorialists confidently refer to the authoritative precedents, established by the Legislatures, of various states in the union, who have made the proceedings and acts of Congress matter of deliberation and animadversion. To those legislatures, indeed, the public is indebted for the access which has at length been obtained to the debates of the Senate of the United States, & for the measures taken to declare that the judiciary power of the Supreme Court, shall not extend to render a state amenable to the suit of an individual citizen of another state.
That under these circumstances and impressions, your memorialists confidently expect your aid, to restore them to the equal rights of citizens, to protect their families from impoverishment, and to shelter the infant manufactures of the United States, either from ruin, or from a competition, in which the honest man must yield to the knave. By a seasonable interposition, likewise the harmony and order of society may be preserved; and when it is recollected that in other nations even despots, and parliaments as tyrannical as despots, have been obliged to consult the feelings of the people, and to abandon a tax which (to repeat the language of Congress) is the horror of all free states, it is to be hoped that the general government, upon a false notion of power and dignity, will not persevere in the pernicious and oppressive course which it has unhappily commenced by the imposition of an odious Excise.

Extract of a letter from London, dated July 2, 1794. "The Embargo laid on by your States, gave us much alarm; to me, and every person possessing property in the West-Indies, particularly; but I am happy to learn with some degree of certainty, that Mr. Jay has settled every thing with our administration in the most amicable manner, so that I hope the blessing of peace will be preferred between us and the States—Did you but know the accumulated distresses the war has occasioned in Europe, it would and ought to be the wish of every good Citizen among you to remain neutral, and avoid the horrors attending on war."
By this Day's Mail. BOSTON, September 2. REALLY GLORIOUS NEWS. Yesterday information was circulating in town, relating to Restitution for captures of American vessels, Release of Prisoners in Algiers, &c. said to be received by a vessel arrived at Marblehead from Halifax. The Editors conceiving it their duty to correct and authenticate such important information if well founded—immediately repaired to the above place, and obtained the following particulars, which may be depended on.
ON Sunday arrived at Marblehead a small Schooner, in 12 days from Halifax. The Steward of the Pigou, who came in this vessel informs, that the day before they failed from Halifax, a sloop of war
arrived with the July Packet from England. He endeavored to procure some of the late papers to bring them to Boston, but could not: However from an attentive perusal, he is enabled to say, they contain a Commercial Treaty between Great-Britain and the United States, and signed by Mr. Jay on the American part. That among the articles of this Treaty, one provides for the restitution of all property captured from the Americans by British subjects during the present war, the circumstances of capture and ratio of allowance to be considered and determined by six Commissioners three to be chosen on the part of the United States, and three on the part of Great-Britain—Another article mentions, that all American subjects, wherever unlawfully detained by his Britannic Majesty's subjects, shall be restored, and it is expressly declared that the release of the American prisoners in Algiers shall be procured. And further, in the boundary lines between the United States and the British possessions, those fixed by the Treaty of Peace should be faithfully observed on their part.
A Sloop of War was to be dispatched immediately to the British Minister at New-York with these advices—Probably to be by him communicated to the American government.
The vessel that brought the above gentleman from Halifax, was chartered for the purpose of carrying Capt. Lewis there—his attendance being necessary, from the probability of the release of his ship, no evidence of consequence having appeared against her.
* Preliminary Articles are supposed. The Resolution, of 74, Africa, 64, Argonau, 64, and two frigates of 36 guns, were lying at Halifax.
Yesterday arrived, and anchored in this harbor, a French brig of 16 guns, one of the late escort which failed with the Concord, &c. and which were met by Admiral Murray. Also arrived yesterday a brig from Alicante.
SALEM, September 2.
The Selectmen of this town have, agreeably to authority vested in them, executed a deed of cession to the United States, of land necessary for the erection of fortifications for the defence of the port and harbor.
Last week, at a legal and very full meeting of the inhabitants of Marblehead, it was unanimously voted, to make a cession to the United States of land for building fortifications for the defence of that port; and the Selectmen were authorized to execute a deed, in pursuance of this patriotic vote.
The Town of Gloucester has also passed a similar vote, for the like public-spirited purpose.
Capt. Murphy, from Peterburg, on the 20th of July, off Fair Island, fell in with a French squadron bound on a cruise into the North Sea, consisting of five frigates and two sloops of war. One of them boarded Capt. Murphy, but did not detain him ten minutes. They informed him, that Ostend and Bruges were taken by the French; the latter part of June, without firing a gun; and that neither place was destroyed, as has been reported of the latter. The squadron will probably make a great cruise, as there was no British ship of force in the Baltic, and Capt. Murphy left 100 sail of Englishmen at Peterburg, many of them about sailing—besides what were at other ports in the Baltic. Capt. Murphy failed from Elsinore with a large English fleet, having only one frigate for a convoy, the whole of which must have fallen into the power of this squadron, had the latter been a few days earlier. The fleet, however, are supposed to have all safe arrived.
PROVIDENCE, August 30.
Thursday last Capt. Coates arrived here, in 36 days from Jamaica. On his passage, he took from the Dolphin's Head (a dangerous reef off Cuba) the crew of the ship Sophia, Capt. Coldstream, from Jamaica, bound for London, 16 in number—also a Lady, Mrs. Reeves, of London, who was passenger. The Sophia had been wrecked about 24 hours when he first saw her, vessel and cargo lost. On the 8th inst. he put the Captain, Lady, and 5 others, on board the ship Emerald, bound for London—off the Havannah, 4 more of the Sophia's crew, took her long-boat, and went ashore—the remaining 5 were brought in here.—A tribute of praise is due to Capt. Coates, for the exertions he made to save these distressed people; he spent 4 days in getting them on board, and the weather being bad, his sails were split to pieces in effecting it.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 6.
By various communications from London, by the July mail, we learn that Mr. Jay has succeeded in accommodating all differences with the Court of Great Britain, and that a durable peace will be secured to the United States.
Lord Howe, with 30 sail of the line, was to sail about the 12th July.
LONDON PRINTS to the 5th of July, we have received by the arrival of the English July mail; which do not afford later advice than those by the Prudence from Londonderry. The following paragraphs, however, we have copied from papers of the 3d and 5th.
LONDON, July 5.
Late on Wednesday night, a Messenger arrived at the house of one of the foreign ministers, from Brussels; which we trust will now be preserved, altho' the government has many days since evacuated the place.
Besides the remuneration which his majesty was pleased to make to the sailors of every ship, he presented two thousand guineas to the men in the Dock-Yard; he likewise gave an hundred and fifty guineas to the poor of Portsmouth, and fifty to the poor of Gosport.
On this subject, it may not be improper to mention, that Lord Howe and every admiral of our victorious fleet, have resigned their shares of prize-money for the benefit of their respective crews.
The numerous and liberal donations made by individuals in this country during the present war, will be an eternal monument of British liberality. We do not recollect, in the history of any former war, to have had such immense sums subscribed for different public purposes as during the past year and half the present one. It is the most certain and substantial proof of the willingness of all ranks of people to support the government of the country, in the measures they have pursued.
In our paper of Tuesday it was stated that serious alarms were entertained for the safety of Captain Hutt; that brave officer is since dead.
The remains of Captain Hervey were on Wednesday carried in military procession, attended by Earl Howe, Sir Alexander Hood, admirals Gardner and Sir Peter Parker, with all the Captains of the channel fleet, to the gates of Portsmouth, with every honorable solemnity, where it was put into a hearse to be conveyed to Sandwich. Captain Hutt was buried at Gosport with the like solemnities.
Three officers of the Spanish Navy, le comte de Casa Montata, don Francisco de Arango and don Joseph Lequeria, are arrived at London from Madrid; charged, it is said, with an important mission to our court.
Major Congreve has transmitted a copy of the thanks of the Emperor to the British Artillerists on the Continent, which was on Thursday publicly read at the head of the artillery companies at Woolwich.
Before the evacuation of Ostend, a number of vessels, both British and prizes, were burnt for want of seamen to work them out. The underwriters are pledged to the amount of 50,000l. the fate of which, by this evacuation, they do not know. Several vessels were got out, but it is still doubtful what is become of them.
The whole force of Sir Sydney Smith, with which he goes immediately on some secret expedition, is said to consist of near 50 gun boats, two floating batteries of unusual strength, two sloops, and two frigates; that in which he goes is the Diamond.
Wednesday a Court of Admiralty was held in Doctors Commons, when the trial of the Britannia came on. This was the case of a ship and cargo, claimed to be property of American merchants.
The ship failed from St. Lucia at the time that island was in the hands of the French, and was laden partly with provisions, the produce of the French West-India islands. It was bound for Bourdeaux in France, but instead of directly sailing for that place, it went to Boston, where the goods were landed and put into ware-houses. The cargo was then sold, and afterwards reshipped into the same vessel, and set sail for Bourdeaux, when it was captured.
The vessel was correctly documented; and it was sworn by the witnesses for the claimants, that it was bona fide sold at Boston, and was a neutral American ship, bound to Bourdeaux on a lawful voyage.
Three mariners were examined on the part of the captors, who said they had heard and verily believed, that the said ship had been captured by an English privateer, and carried into St. Kitt's; that while it was there under legal process, the master, in the absence of the English captors, cut the cable, and piratically carried the vessel to Boston, from whence it failed again for Bourdeaux.
The Counsel for the captors contended, that the case, on the part of the claimants, was marked with great suspicion. It appeared, they said, that the sale at Boston was merely colourable, and the circumstance of running away with the ship at St. Kitt's amounted to a confession, that it was liable to confiscation.—They said the ship came within the law contained in the instruction of the English government, which declared all neutral vessels carrying
the produce of the French West-India islands to any port in Europe to be liable to adjudication.
After counsel was heard on the other side, the learned Judge said, that the case was pregnant with suspicion, and therefore he could not order restitution, without further proof.—The King's instructions could easily be evaded, by running into some American port, making a colourable sale, and then shipping the cargo for the enemy's port. Under all the circumstances, he felt, it his duty to disallow the claim, both of the ship and cargo, without further proof being adduced.
Saturday night three of the French prisoners broke out of Portsea Castle at Portsmouth—they proceeded immediately to the shore, and taking possession of a fishing smack, they put off to sea, taking with them the master and a boy, whom they found in the smack.
On Monday last a horse belonging to Mr. Jones (which won at Epsom on Friday) was engaged to gallop 11 miles in half an hour, for fifty guineas, which he performed, on Sunbury common, two minutes and a half within the time.
The following letter was yesterday morning received by the master of Lloyd's Coffee-House:
Margate, July 3, at half past 11 o'clock, P. M.
"Ostend is now taken indeed! The Trial cutter is just arrived, and the dispatches are forwarded from hence. The French marched in on Thursday. Our troops are all safely embarked, and gone to Holland. Almost, if not all, the shipping gone out; one large one run ashore in coming out, to which they set fire; and as the French had but one small boat to cross with, one of our frigates annoyed them very much in passing. They were not permitted to fire into the town, or they could have done much mischief to it."
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Queen Charlotte, at Portsmouth, dated June 28.
"I have been assured, that during the late action the French officers put many of their men to death for deserting their quarters.—The prisoners, like true Frenchmen, appear very well reconciled to their situation. They seem to make very light of the business, but they accuse us of not fighting them fairly, by coming so close to them; and alledge, that had it not been for the numberless accidents that befel them, they should have gained the day. One thing I observed very general among them, they dislike the idea of returning to France, until the Government is in a more settled state."
The Portuguese, although they acceded to the grand alliance, have contributed very little to this war in defence of religion. The reason perhaps is, that they have so much of what is commonly called religion in their country as to be able to lose a good deal, and have enough left.
The Emperor and Colonel Mack, instead of visiting the Allied army on the Rhine, as was expected, have thought it necessary to pursue the direct road to Vienna, without turning to the right hand, or to the left. Their haste to get thither, is supposed to have been occasioned by their eager desire to sit down in quiet, and chalk out a new road to Paris, all the old roads being found impracticable.
The Marquis Cornwallis followed them a good part of the way, protesting with all his might, that if they would but stop, they might hear of some thing greatly to their advantage; but the imbracing of the postillion's whips, the rattling of the carriage wheels, and the roaring of the cannon in Flanders, made such a noise that they could not hear him.
MADRID, June 16.
The news from the frontiers are most alarming: and our fears are aggravated by the general distrust and want of co-operation, both in our armies, and among the members of our cabinet.
Our losses on the 1st of June are attributed to the misconduct of M. de Solano, who commanded one of the divisions of our troops, and the cowardice of our militia, who were panic struck by the first sight of the French.
Our Generals affirm, that Collioure would not have been lost, if our gun-boats had had the courage to come near enough to impede the operations of the besiegers, and if Admiral Gravina's squadron had not been thirty-six hours too late.
Notwithstanding these disasters, our troops, we are told, have not lost their confidence in M. de la Union. We are even assured, that he has taken two batteries, erected by the French before Bellegarde, and that he has opened the communication between Bellegarde and
the army. We dread, however, that the French, in their usual manner, will soon return to the charge with great reinforcements; that we should not be able to check their progress; and that they will enter Catalonia, the passes to which are difficult, but weakly guarded.
To add to all this, the French have penetrated into Navarre with 14,000 men, and taken possession of a pass, which we thought impregnable. The Court endeavours to conceal this, but we know the French have made a road for their artillery over the mountains, and believe the report of the invasion to be true. The militia, the only troops to oppose them, are very ill officered, and not much animated by religious zeal.
As we must ascribe none of our misfortunes to ministers, we say they are all the consequences of treasons and conspiracies.
The court has removed from their offices, and banished four counsellors of Castile. A clerk in the office for foreign affairs, suspected of corresponding with M. D'Aranda, has suffered the same punishment.
The friends of ministers say, that grand discoveries have been made from M. D'Aranda's papers, and that he is to be taken into custody at St. Jean, the place of his exile.—In Spain, as in other countries, whatever the court pleases may be discovered in the papers of a man whom the court is pleased to prosecute; and M. D'Aranda will probably be tried and condemned to die by a tribunal of the Minister's own appointing.
We are fully convinced of our own inability, either to repel a foreign enemy, or to suppress internal dissensions; but fortunately the progress of the allies in Flanders will soon restore a government in France, upon which in all cases, we can rely for support.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8.
Yesterday dispatches were received from the Commissioners at Pittsburgh.—We hear that the information is in substance, that forty-seven only of the Committee of Sixty, voted in favor of acceding to the propositions. This is considered as an unfavorable result of the business.—We learn that the Commissioners are on their return.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved.
THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at fourteen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Genesee Government, South Carolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a preference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiled by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murray's map.

JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale at Mathew Carey's Store, No. 118, Market Street, Price half a dollar, embellished with a striking likeness of Mr. Margaret, The TRIAL OF Maurice Margarot, Before the High Court of Judiciary at Edinburgh, on an indictment for SEDITIONS PRACTICES.
"Of the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of criminal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal peculiar and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the latest views and objects of the British convention; and proves incontestibly, that judicial prosecutions (or persecutions) and decisions are now more the result of the present order of things, than any old fashion ed attachment to the laws or the constitution. 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 trials we know of, unassisted even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional knowledge, and in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt government."

One thousand Dollars REWARD.
Some few Counterfeit Post Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately discovered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected.
They have the letter D. for their alphabetical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more stout and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be printed over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, for the sum may be more or less at pleasure. No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately issued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dollars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz.
The person or persons, who engraved the late. The printer, or printers of the said bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.
WILLIAM PATTERSON, President, of the Bank of Maryland. Bms, April 8, 1794.
STATE OF SOUTH-CAROLINA In the House of Representatives.
DECEMBER 21st, 1793. WHEREAS the Commissioners of public Accounts have reported, that they cannot proceed to the in-estigation of the Treasury Accounts, respecting special Indents, without knowing the outstanding amount thereof in circulation:—Therefore, Resolved, That all holders of special Indents be directed, and required, on or before the first day of November next, to deliver the special Indents in their possession to one or other of the Commissioners of the Treasury, who are to give receipts for the same, and to report to the Commissioners on public accounts, on or before the tenth day of November next, the amount by them respectively received, and also to the Legislature, at their meeting in November next, and that all special Indents not rendered into the Treasury as above, on or before the first day of November next, shall be, and the same are hereby barred.

And that the Delegates of this State in the Congress of the United States, be requested to cause this resolution to be published in one or more papers in the cities of Philadelphia and New-York, and that provision will be made for the expenses attending such publication. Ordered, That the resolution be sent to the Senate for their concurrence. By order of the House. JOHN SANFORD DART, C. H. R. In the SENATE.
DECEMBER 21st, 1793. Resolved, That this House do concur with the House of Representatives in the foregoing resolutions. Ordered, That the resolutions be sent to the House of Representatives. by order of the Senate, FELIX WARLEY Clerk.
The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number to sixteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the b being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters end in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other signs used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philada, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794. Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.
