Distant Subscribers For the Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Subscription by paying Six Months in Advance, as declining to take the Paper any longer. As there is a considerable sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delinquent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may respectively be indebted—the sums are individually trifling—the want of the Aggregate is severely felt.

Foreign Intelligence.
FRANKFORT, (Ger.) August 17.
The Field Marshal of the German Empire, Duke Albert of Saxe Teschen has declared to the circles of the Upper and Lower Rhine, that they were not only to provide a large quantity of ammunition for the defence of Mayence, but also to furnish the garrison with the necessary provisions, and that in case of non-compliance, he would, at the approach of the enemy, find himself in the disagreeable necessity, to abandon that city and leave a passage open to the French.
The city of Frankfort being requested to make the necessary advances for all this, the magistrates held extraordinary sittings; and after many debates on this subject, it was resolved; not to comply with the demand as far as it concerns advances of any kind.
500 Prussians left yesterday the hospital, and were sent to their respective regiments.
An officer, arriving here from the army, reports, that a corps of 20,000 Austrians, under Gen. La Tour, has been sent towards Treves, and Luxembourg, in order to support the Prussian corps, commanded by Kalkreuth, and to dislodge the French, who, according to some of the latest letters, have only left 4000 men, to guard the defiles about Treves. It is supposed the greater part of the French are directing their march towards Cologne.
There is a report, though not confirmed, that the National Convention has given orders to take Treves, Coblenz and Cologne, and to burn the town of New Wied though the execution of this favorite plan should cost the greatest part of the army.
A transport of 3500 Imperialists and 500 horses, have partly reached the Circle of the Upper Rhine, and the rest is expected before the last of August. There are this morning passed through the city 500 Savoyards belonging to the free corps of Michalvich.
WORMS, August 13.
The French reconnoitred yesterday morning the whole position of the allied army from the Banks of the Rhine to the Vogesian Mountains. This gives us some reason to expect ere long a general attack. They drove in the Austrian advanced posts near Oggerheim, and proceeded to Frankenthal; but the Imperialists being reinforced, occupied the same day their former position again. The French surprised at the same time the Prussian post at Kleincarlenbach, killed a lieutenant, and made some prisoners.
Our army was to-day again reinforced by a battalion of Palatine troops.
HERVE, August 9.
Part of the Austrian camp of Richelle crossed the Meuse in order to attack the French advanced posts. The particulars of this engagement are not known yet.
VIENNA, August 13.
(Extract of a letter.)
"The order of his Majesty, that all French emigrants, who are permitted to live in the hereditary provinces, ought not to reside in any other place but capital cities, was enjoined again to be most rigorously executed.
"Two millions of florins in gold, were sent the day before yesterday to the army. In the chief depository of all military economic commissions, established here, they go on with redoubled activity, in order to prevent our brave warriors, incessantly harassed by a furious enemy, and exposed to uncommon fatigues, from suffering for want of clothes.
"A grand ministerial conference was held to-day, at which the Extraordinary Envoys of Great Britain, Lord Spencer and Grenville, attended. The Emperor according to report, agreed to the conditions proposed by Lord Spencer, and it is said, he promised to continue the war with vigor.
"A Spanish ship with one million of piasters, for quicksilver, sold by our court, arrived lately at Trieste. This Spanish money will be carried to Gunzburg (an Austrian town in Swabia,) in order to be coined into Imperial dollars, and pieces of twenty kreuzer. Quicksilver for another million of piasters will be again sent to the kingdom of Spain. The place where all this quicksilver is brought from is a mine near Itria, not far from the Venetian frontiers. This mine is one of the great resources of Austria, and a considerable portion of the national debt is mortgaged on it. Quicksilver is there
found in great abundance, sometimes in the holes of the rocks."
COBLENTZ, August 14.
When the French took possession of Treves the magistrates of that city went out to meet them and beg for quarter: The French issued thereupon a proclamation which directed the citizens to be quiet, to deliver up their arms, and to rest assured of the protection of a free people, &c. The riches of the Abbeys, convents, &c. are emigrated and partly safe arrived here and in this neighborhood. The French have asked a contribution of one million of livres, four thousand pair of shoes, and four thousand pair of stockings at Treves. It is reported, the French were formerly at Merxberg, (a steep mountain on the left bank of the Moselle, which commands the city, and requires no other fortification but some pieces of artillery, in order to be master of a cross road, which opens a passage to the German cantons of Luxembourg.)
PROCLAMATION.
From the Prime Minister of Spain to the Spanish Nation.
Brave Spaniards,
As I only intend to lay before your eyes truths that will cause your fears to subside, and only ask of you to listen to me attentively, my solicitude gives me a great right to require it and your own interest warrants it.
I am well aware that venal and poisonous pens will endeavor to picture the late fate of war as the depth of misfortune; and that bold and calumniating tongues will represent the impetuosity of the enemy as irresistible.
I know that traitors to God, to the King, and your cause, will not be silent,—but will use every means of bringing you over to their sentiments; that their seducing language will represent to you every thing as possible; that the venal spy will endeavor to engage you among insinuating precepts; but at the same time I am acquainted with your loyalty; the king knows it, and confides in your fortitude against the torrent of civil-advisers. Do you feel the true extent of our resources? Be assured, that they are sufficient, when combined, not only to drive the enemy as soon as they shall begin to act, but that the King hopes to see that enemy crushed on the arrival of the reinforcements which have begun to march, and which are animated by the most ardent desire to meet the enemy, rather than to take rest in camp.
Spaniards,
Can 30,000 weak and undisciplined men, wage a serious war upon us on the side of Navarre and Biscay? They are not and cannot be in great numbers, owing to the state of the frontier provinces. The combined armies in the North require their first attention, and while the French appear augmenting their forces, they in fact diminish. It is by violent means that their people are forced to their armies. Terror and the guillotine are the springs of all their operations, and they excite hatred and despair. You see that the sacred right of property no longer exists among them; you see that justice has disappeared from among them, and you see, that under a fallacious cover of right they succeed in bringing into submission men—but that in the end they make slaves of them.
Unfortunately our cities and villages have experienced this fatal ill. Scarcely one inhabitant did they leave free, when they made their incursion. This incursion is not astonishing, it is a consequence of their unbounded cupidity; but weigh the motive and judge of the insufficiency of their arms to pursue their advantages.
Could you imagine that 20 or 30,000 men would be able to subject our provinces, if we bent our endeavors to destroy them? Look into history; the innumerable examples of a wonderful defence made against mightier attacks will be the answer.
It is not surprising that they should at this time have seized upon an open country; but they can form from that no pretensions to victory. The nature of the country alone must stop their career. Be well assured that the experienced and brave general who commands our forces, will permit to keep what they have usurped only so long as they shall incommode him, and as soon as he shall undertake to destroy them he shall succeed.
Dispel therefore the fears with which you may have been impressed; but at the same time make an effort to secure yourselves in your homes. God, his sacred law commands it, and reflect that your fields will not afford you their pro-
duce unless you are under his banners. He will then assist you and he will fight for you. Pray tain sincerely and implore his protection. To this effect public prayers shall also be offered.
But don't let your present situation discourage you; do not imagine that our affairs have reached the last extremity of danger. Means of opposing the enemy are not wanting. The King will bring down their insolence on pride by taking himself the command of his Catholic army. Your sovereign reposes all confidence in Spanish loyalty and the endeavors to make return for it, by limiting as much as possible his royal pomp, that new imposts may be avoided, diminished or suspended as soon as the honour of the crown requires. This measure and the others which will be adopted by the king, will assure the public tranquility, and will make us all secure in our property. Let us unite in the present moment as a secure society.
Let peace and tranquility among you make return for the upright intentions of your king, and all his faithful subjects shall receive marks of his goodness. Weiz, dear fellow citizens, the sincere effusions of my heart, and you will find truth and candour have been my guides. I have no other end in view but your tranquility and to raise your spirit to destroy a horde of bandits who wish to disturb our quiet. If I succeed in this you will find in a few days the fruits of my endeavours. Assist my designs with your endeavours and you will soon feel the advantages of your exertions. Religion will contribute to your triumph, and its aid will be without intermission invoked for all by your true friend.
ALCUDIA.
DUBLIN, August 19.
In the history of Europe there does not occur a more extraordinary circumstance than at present exists, viz. That a British Regiment of Light Horse (the 12th) should be now actually doing duty at Rome as Life Guards to his Holiness the Pope!
By letters from some Officers of that Regiment we learn, that on the evacuation of Toulon the regiment was landed in Corsica; but after some time, being found no longer necessary there, it was conveyed to Civita Vecchia, and marched from thence to Rome: there they were received as the Guardians of the Government and People; the officers and soldiers were superbly lodged in the Vatican, gratified with every elegance and pleasure of life, and treated by his Holiness, and all under him, with the most unbounded affection and generosity!—How are the mighty fallen!—Rome, once the Mistress of the World, calls for succour and defence upon a little Island, which in the meridian glory of her Empire, was considered by her but as a speck of her immense dominions, and inhabited, by hostile barbarians.
LIMERICK, August 15.
Admiral Kingmill, with the following ships is arrived in the river Shannon, where he will wait the arrival of the India ships in Galway harbour, to take them under convoy to England—The Alexander, the Monmouth, the Ganges, the Swiftsure, of 74 guns each, and Leander frigate.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) Sept. 6.
Recent advices from St. Domingo, mention the British in that quarter to be in the most promising situation.
Colonel Brisbane, by extraordinary exertions, having taken the field with an army of 1500 men well armed and appointed, advanced into the plain of Artibouite, where, after obtaining possession of the heights near the town of Petite Riviere, and being joined by Mons. de Villeneuve, with some Spanish troops, he was waited on by the chiefs of the Republican army then in that town, and articles of capitulation were immediately agreed on.
Before however these articles were signed, it was found to be indispensably necessary that the Spaniards should relinquish possession of the parish of Petite Riviere, as the brigands would subject themselves to no other than the British government.
By the latest dispatches we find that the Col. has had an interview with the negro chief Toussaint, who is under the orders of Laveaux, and is chief of Gonaive and other neighbouring quarters; This interview was followed by a tender of his submission, and his willingness to give up Gonaive and the other places under his control (Gres, Morne Terre Nueve, Marmelade, Plaisance, &c.) to the British.
The chiefs of the Cahos, Claude and Gilliam, had also offered themselves, and requested that Colonel Brisbane would write to the Spanish commandant at St. Michael for a suspension of hostilities.
In short, every thing wears the most favourable aspect, and the good understanding which subsists between the British and Spanish commanders promise a termination to that anarchy, which has
been so fatally predominant in this inestimable island.
Brigadier-General Horneck is on the point of departure for St. Domingo, to take the command of our possession there. It is expected Gen. Whyte will sail for Europe in a few days.
Col. Brisbane's talents are likely to be more extensively employed, other districts having shown a sincere desire to follow the example of Gonaive.
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK 21.
It is curious to observe the policy of the French, during the present ferocious war. The combined powers unprovoked, began the game of looting and ravaging, and bringing France into submission, and to recalibrate, the French are rendering the war a war of destruction and extermination. Against Great Britain, the great strength and soul of the league against France, do the French aim their arts, their force and their resentment. Great Britain derives her strength from commerce—to destroy is this now the object of France. The navy of France has suffered so much at Toulon and in the late action, that it will require a considerable time, to build and equip heavy ships sufficient to cope with the British fleet; not to mention the want of experienced officers and seamen on the part of France.
The French therefore have had recourse to a masterly scheme of injuring the British commerce by fitting out an immense number of large frigates, mostly of 44 guns. These ships carry heavy metal and sail fast—They will escape all larger ships and capture every thing below their own force, which will comprehend all small frigates, and other small armed vessels, letters of marque and privateers. With these heavy frigates the French are now covering the ocean. To resist nothing themselves, they have stopped all trade of their own; and turned all their marine into the most suitable ships for annoying the trade of their enemies.
To crown this policy, their ships have orders to burn and destroy every prize they take, which they are not certain of sending safe into port. This order is designed to prevent the possibility of their prizes being retaken. Thus they are sure of destroying the commerce of their foes one way or the other. If they are near port, or want any part of the cargoes of the prize vessels, they have them, if not, they destroy them. Never was the commerce of Great Britain so much injured, and we should not be surprised to hear of some paralytic shocks at Lloyd's Coffee house.
While such is the ingenious policy of the French in defeating and wounding their external enemies, their internal affairs exhibit the most evident marks of political impotence. The Revolutionary government is indeed a revolving body—perpetually changing. It has no fixed principles, nor permanent form, nor order, nor symmetry. A few days ago the committee of General Safety, in union with the Jacobin Club, directed the whole nation—now the Central Committee of government does the same, aided by twelve subordinate committees. Such a monster of a political body with twelve or fifteen heads of different sizes, cannot live long—it is a lusus naturae , destined to be the wonder of fools and the contempt of wise men.
While the French have no more wisdom than to vest executive power in such a multiplicity of Committees and sub-committees, none of them wholly responsible for any measure, and all differing in their views, revolution after revolution will change the administration, and fashion will find ample employment for the revolutionary tribunal, and the guillotine.
Revolution in France.
The division of a legislature into two houses is not a chimerical project of a fanciful theorist; The history of every free state is, or was on earth, will furnish abundant facts to sanction the practice.
What would have been the career of Republican Rome, had she been subject to the caprices and the headstrong violent passions of her popular Assemblies, without a Senate to restrain them? The history of that Republic will answer the question: Her legislative proceedings would have been guided by turbulent tribunes, just as the populace of Paris have been led by a Marat, or a Robespierre, or the people of a great town in America are nosed about by noisy demagogues; and her laws would have been passed with as much precipitation, and as little ceremony of discussion or freedom of debate, as the resolutions of a New-York or Philadelphia town meeting. It was in Rome just as it is in all free countries, passions governed the populace, reason was found in the Senate; the energy or physical force of the nation was in the commons, but that force was often misapplied and ill directed unless controlled by the wisdom of the Senate.
In America two states made the experiment of a legislature in one house. Both States after a very few years practice, have called conventions and new modelled their Constitutions, introducing a Senate, or council as a distinct branch. But in this short compass of a few years one of these states, Pennsylvania, saw its constitution repeatedly violated by the rashness and precipitation of a popular Assembly. One of the rash hasty measures of the Legislature raised an armed force to expel some of the citizens of the state from their possessions, on a controverted claim to their lands; and blood was shed in consequence of this unconstitutional step.
What particular inconvenience the state of Georgia suffered from the collection of all legislative power into one house, I am not informed; but the constitution is altered. Vermont is still making the experiment of a legislature in a single branch, in defiance of the experience of her sister states. In times of peace and political tranquility, when no violent parties, no fervid passions distract a state public measures may be very well conducted in such a legislature. But when factions exist, the most tyrannical, and pernicious measures may be carried into effect, to the great injury of the public, if one party can obtain a decided majority in the legislature, and there is no veto upon their proceedings. Instances of this kind may be found on record in other countries, and in America, the recollection of any middle-aged man, will furnish him with similar examples. It signifies nothing to lay that things were so in the past, or that the good sense of men in this age will supersede the necessity of artificial restraints upon their passions. My remarks are founded upon facts; on experience as old as government; and two thousand years have not furnished any evidence that this reasoning is false or inapplicable to the present state of society. On the other hand, the distracted state of France is itself a body of arguments that cannot be resisted, to prove the utility of dividing a legislature into two branches.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, N. Jersey,
October 22.
Daily Occurrences.
Yesterday was raised the roof of a building, so tremendous to the eyes of the poor wight, who does not sufficiently discriminate between the mean and tuum , a stone chapel; or, in the more common language, a gaol.—Often has the voice of humanity joined with that of policy in earnestly enquiring, why the unfortunate debtor is here buried from the world—unable to succour his family—incapacitated from doing justice to his creditors—and undergoing the same punishment as the hardened villain .
From the foundation of this house to the present time, but one person has been hurt. He, poor fellow being either too heavy or not sufficiently careful, was precipitated, in a centripetal direction, from the third story, and falling into the lap of mother Telus , was used by her so roughly, that many philosophers have maintained, point-blank, that she acted the part of a surly step-dame . He is now in the hands of the sons of Esculapius , and bids fair to recover.
16. The rapid victories of the French Republicans have lengthened the phizs of the Aristocrats most enormously; and, in them, their native vivacity and volubility of tongue seem entirely changed for the Spanish solemnity and taciturnity.
18. Politics run high—On this day was closed the poll for the election of assemblymen and sheriff for the county of Essex; when one of the magnanimous candidates having sacrificed so freely to Bacchus that, to use his own expression, he was pretty well in for it , meandered most beautifully and could scarcely keep his tottering carcass in equilibrio —It is to be hoped that men of this stamp will never be more successful than this one has been. Another person, who, as well as the former, missed the office at which he was aiming, was so much offended that he scolded most vociferously and mutinously, to the no small diversion of the spectators.
20. This day was appointed as the general training—the troops were to meet at Tufkin-Hall —accordingly at about 8 o'clock, some soldiers, having furnished themselves with a waggon, started for the place, but, by the most unlucky accident in the world, they had not proceeded twenty yards before crash went the shaft—down go the passengers. One cursed the driver—a another swore at the shaft—a third damned his eyes—a fourth stood gaping in silent surprise, with his eyes and mouth stretched wide open—a fifth groaned most symphonically for a doctor—Such was the first scene of the farce of this day: The second beheld them under arms, performing their evolutions with spirit, when a most impertinent shower obliged spectators and actors to seek refuge, each for himself. The jostling, and crowding, and shoving far exceeded that which took place in the play-house of New-York when it caught fire: the ladies screamed—the dogs barked—the whips cracked—the men swore—and the hucksters sighed for the fate of their stalls overturned in the hubbub.
In the evening we were entertained by a battle royal —not being sufficiently acquainted with the circumstances, and not feeling the Homeric inspiration, we decline giving the particulars at present, and shall therefore only observe, that the catastrophe was as follows:
1 broken head, 5 peepers closed, 6 bloody noses, 7 black eyes.

TRENTON, October 22.
A Correspondent remarks, that the miseries and afflictions of our own species, from whatever cause they may originate, must ever claim the public attention. He feels a peculiar satisfaction in being able to say, that all who can feel for the calamities of others, may, in a short time be gratified with a particular account of the sufferings of that once numerous class of men the Clergy of France.
Your correspondent has been informed, that a work of considerable length, under the title of "The History of the Clergy during the French Revolution," is now in the press of Mr. Neale, printer, of Burlington. From all the accounts we have had of these unfortunate beings, whether conveyed to us through the channel of Newspapers or otherwise, their History cannot be other than a tale of woe. However deserving of punishment some may have been, yet a benevolent heart must revolt at the idea that all who suffered were guilty.
PHILADELPHIA,
OCTOBER 24.
A French corvette, belonging to the squadron which is cruising in our seas under the command of rear admiral Villemandrin, is arrived at New-York. The frigate la Semillante, of the same squadron, may be daily expected there.
The Lascars, one of the convoy that fell in with admiral Murray's division is safely arrived in France, with the Minister's despatches.
The Legislature of the state of New-Jersey are to assemble at Trenton, on Tuesday next.
The Parliament of Great Britain was prorogued from the 19th of August to the 2d of October.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edward, to his friend in this city, dated Boston, October 16.
"I arrived here from Falmouth, in the Mary of Portland. Four days after we failed we fell in with a French squadron, who took out fourteen English passengers, and their goods. What they had not time to take with them they threw overboard."
"My family and self were protected by our American passport—they shewed their orders, which were, to take or destroy all English ships and property and to stop neutral vessels, and make prisoners of all Englishmen they found on board."
"In future therefore it will be necessary for every American, going to sea to furnish himself with such credentials as prove his citizenship. Among the number taken from the Mary, was William Russell, Esq. of Birmingham, a gentleman of great respectability and extensive fortune, who with his family were coming over to this country."
CAMP, near Bedford, Sunday, Oct. 19. "A gentleman is arrived from Fort Cumberland, 30 miles south of this, who informs that there are 6,800 troops there, ready for the expedition, and that they will soon march for the westward. Here are about 5,500, among them 900 horse, one half of which are Pennsylvanians, and are well mounted and equip."
"These two bodies of men will form an army, such as has, perhaps never taken the field. Men of principle, voluntarily enlisted for the support of the law: among them men of the first property in the country, subjecting themselves to all the inconveniences of a soldier's life."
"The President will be here this day, and it is supposed we shall march in a few days."
October 18.
We still are uncertain as to what time we shall tarry here. Parties of horse are detached to scour the country: Last night they brought in 10 of the insurgents, and this day 2 or 3.—Among these are several notorious rebels; one being accused of forging letters, with the signature of the governor expressing a wish that "the people should perish in their opposition, and they would be protected"—another is accused of cutting, and a third of hewing the pole for up in this place. They have been examined, and committed to goal to stand trial at the Federal court to be held here.
The first 10 were taken about 12 miles distant (over the Mountain) without any resistance, out of one house.
I am told that information is received that about 100 more are collected about 20 miles off; 'tis expected a party will be detached after them this evening.
We have just returned from escorting the Governor to town. He was received with every military attention, and a discharge of fifteen cannon.
Col. Cowperthwait's battalion have arrived, and the Jersey and several troops of horse of this state, amounting to about 1000, are just entering.
Sunday morning, October 19. The light horse brought in about 10 more last night.
It appears that several of the persons taken up have been bailed in trifling sums and permitted to depart. This has caused some dissatisfaction.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, August 21.
It is reported the French frigate la Semillante, a ship belonging to this city, and her consort the French Captains of frigates...
the Resolution of the Captain of the Agri-cle, to seize all American vessels bound to British ports, our trade will be harassed on both sides, and some vigorous measures will be necessary to protect us from our allies as well as from our old enemies.
The spirited and manly as well as decent tone of Mr. Jay's Note to the British Minister, does him much honour. We are happy to find that while he cautiously avoids any intemperate expressions, there is not a word that looks like servility or fear or a disposition to crouch to the imperious pride of that haughty Ministry. The simplicity and explicitness also of his address are very different from that evasive and circumlocutory style of Lord Grenville's answer; from the tenor of which we may learn that it is his Majesty's wish and Lord Grenville has his Majesty's command to put things into a proper course to be enquired into, and to enter into the discussion of measures to be adopted and principles to be established? This kind of language, which is the common style of Courts is calculated to give us very little satisfaction. However we have much dependence on Mr. Jay's discretion and firmness in this important and arduous embassy.
Capt. Colden of the ship Active of New-York, has obliged us with the following information:
On the 29th of September, in long. 51, W. spoke the Delight of Boston, Capt. Bridges, from Liverpool, bound to Boston, out 42 days, who had on the 17th of September in long. W. spoke the brig Independence, of New-London, out 35 days from Sligo, bound to New-York, with 79 passengers on board, having only one suit of old sails, and very short of every thing, Capt. Bridges, supplied them with some beef and bread.
On the 17th of Oct. in long. 69, W. spoke the ship Nancy, of Baltimore, out 42 days from Breil, bound to New-York, who informed, that the ship Severn, Capt. Goodrich, of New-York, with a number of passengers on board, has been carried into Breil by a French frigate.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated 30th August, to a respectable house in this city.
"Several regiments are called from the Provinces towards this capital—these movements are it's presumed to guard against any sudden attacks from the French, whose dispositions are no longer disguised—as they have lately captured and condemned some ships belonging to this port of considerable value."

ALBANY, October 20.
We have heard nothing from the treaty at Canandarqna, further, than that the Indians are there in great numbers, and that appearances augur, that the result of the meeting will settle all differences to the satisfaction of the parties.
A short time since the following extraordinary circumstances occurred in digging a well, near the church in the town of Duanesburg. When the workmen had proceeded about 26 feet (there being no appearance of water,) the ground on a sudden rose up in form of a sugar loaf—After the surprise which the rising occasioned, had subsided, the raised ground was removed, but without signs of water—the digging was again commenced; the ground again rose—was removed—yet no signs of water—the digging again commenced, but not more than three or four strokes with the spade were given before the water gushed thro' and in such quantities, that it was not without difficulty the workmen made their escape. The usual mode of drawing off the water, by buckets and windlass, was now attempted, but proving inadequate, recourse was had to a pump, and the well drained, and stoned. The water soon
rose up to its margin, and has ever since continued to overflow, notwithstanding the present uncommon drought. The well is situated on pretty high ground.
There is a well in the town of Hartford, Connecticut, stoned something similar to the above, which was dug 20 or 30 years ago, and has continued overflowing ever since.
Wheat continues to bear a high price in this city (10s)—our country friends will find their account in improving the present market.
PITTSBURGH, October 18.
At the general election on Tuesday last, the following gentlemen were elected for Congress, for the fifth district, which consists of the Counties of Washington and Allegheny.
Albert Gallatin, State Senators for the same district. Thomas Stokely, A'salom Baird, For the County of Allegheny, Assembly.
Presley Nevill, Dunning M'Nair, Commissioners.
Robert Brotherton, Joseph Scott, Coroner.
John Johnston, Washington County. Assembly.
Craig Ritchie, Benjamin White, James Brice, William Wallace.
The commissioners appointed by the Parkinson Ferry committee to wait on President of the United States and Governor of Pennsylvania, on the affairs of the western counties of Pennsylvania, having performed that duty, requests a meeting of said committee on Friday the 24th inst, at their usual place of meeting (Parkinson's Ferry) in order to receive the Commissioners report. The Commissioners do request that a full meeting may be had, not only of the members of the committee but that as many discreet citizens as can any way find it convenient, would likewise give their attendance, as matters of the greatest concern to the safety, happiness and prosperity of the country may be then discussed.
N. B. A very powerful army approaching our country it is hoped will make this business too serious to be trifled with.
We are informed by the post rider that he passed the Jersey and Pennsylvania troops between Carlisle and Bedford, and that they were to be joined by the Maryland and Virginia troops at Bedford, when they will march for this country. The number exceeds the requisition demanded by the President of the United States.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.
The ship Glasgow has brought Dublin papers to the fifth September, and London to the first—but they contain nothing highly interesting—consequently do not confirm the reports which have been in circulation respecting the capture of Sluys, Breda, Valenciennes or Conde.
A short abstract of the most material articles as follows.
Aug. 29—Fifteen sail of Indians passed by Dover for the Downs from Ireland—The Garrison of Calvi were found dreadfully reduced by an epidemical disorder—vessels were providing to send the captured troops to France—The Paris accounts are to the 13 Aug. the various committees were not then organized.
The debates in the Convention had assumed a moderate and caudal appearance—500 persons had been released from prison, and arrests had diminished. The business of the British Envoys sent to Vienna is said to be bro't to a satisfactory issue—The command of the army is to be taken from Saxe Cobourg, who it seems did not agree with the Duke of York.
Clairfait and Beaulieu are to have the command in the new operations.
The Poles continue a successful resistance—a proclamation of the French to the army of the Western Pyrenees, lays "The Spanish territory on which we now enter must become part of the French republic"—The Breil fleet according to the Admiralty accounts consist of 22 sail of the line—other accounts say they amount to 42.
Extract of a letter to the Editor. Camp near Bedford, October 18, 1794.
SIR, "I thank you for the newspapers which you were kind enough to forward
to me at Carlisle, and which were very acceptable; the hurry of our march since, and the duties of the camp, have prevented an earlier acknowledgement.
"At Carlisle a light corps was formed under general orders for the advance of the army, which consisted of the squadron of Philadelphia horse, Macpherson's blues, Taylor's riflemen, and Graham's Chester volunteers; to which have since been added, Capt. Lyman's and Capt. Suydam's companies of federal troops; and we shall be joined on their arrival, by Capt. Kenny's troop of Jersey cavalry and Frelinghuysen's volunteers, the whole then to be under the command of General Frelinghuysen. This legion to which is also annexed a company of artillery with two 6 pounders, moved from Carlisle the 10th inst. as the van of a column composed of Col. Gurney's Philadelphia regiment, and another of Jersey troops under Col. Forman, with the park of Artillery, the whole about 2000 men, and commanded by Governor Howell, who arrived here yesterday; and to day three brigades of Infantry have come in, (including Cowperthwait's Regiment) and 800 Cavalry, forming the best column of troops I have ever seen, the light companies attached to these brigades being all healthy, stout young fellows, and remarkably well equipped. With this detachment arrived Governor Mifflin.
"We had scarcely pitched our tents, before our squadron were put on duty; three parties being sent out last night to seize on the disaffected, twelve of whom were brought in early this morning; and another strong detachment have just marched (9 o'clock, P. M.) on a similar expedition. The army now assembled here, consists of between 5 and 6000 men, all in high health and spirits, and anxious for active duty. Our young men of the Legion, though accustomed to the indulgencies of an opulent Capital, bear the fatigues of the march and the hard fare of the camp with great fortitude, and submit to the restraints of discipline with equal cheerfulness—The road from Strasburg, about 50 miles, is through the most mountainous, and perhaps the roughest country in America, and the toil of the march therefore excessive.
"The President is now, it is said, with Gen. Morgan's army at Fort Cumberland with 5000 men, about 30 miles from this place, and is soon expected to join us. What the plan of operation is, none of us can tell—but a strong belief is entertained that we go on to Pittsburgh and Washington. The army well understand the nature of the cause they are engaged in, and are only anxious for an opportunity of chastising the ingrates who have dared to rise in a wicked opposition to a government so freely constituted and so mildly administered as is ours. Two brigades are expected to arrive to-morrow, and we have accounts of the march of different bodies of troops in every direction.
"The public spirit of the country, has confounded these opposers of the laws, who have made a false estimate of the virtue and republican principles of the general community, and believed their own virulent clamours to be the voice of the people.
"October 19. The detachment have not yet returned—so that I can give you no news of the result. The election went on well in camp, the federal ticket being supported by a great majority, and Cowperthwait generally run for Sheriff.
"I have just been told that the President will be here to day, as he was to leave Fort Cumberland this morning. His presence will infuse new spirits in the army, who are most affectionately attached to him."
Bsdford, October 20, 1794. DEAR SIR,
Our army at this place amounts to upwards of 6000 men, amongst whom are 11 or 12 hundred horse, generally are, and have been very orderly, healthy, and in good spirits. The President arrived yesterday from Fort Cumberland, from whence, the Maryland and Virginia troops march this day for Fayette, we follow probably in 2 or 3 days: The two columns are about equal in number, and at present about equally distant from the seat of Insurrection. The Whiskey Boys are most seriously alarmed at our approach, and are ready to tender any kind of submission if we will but return; this however they cannot be indulged in: We shall march into the country, and their leaders and principals must suffer or abandon their homes. Our horse have already taken 13 of the most inveterate in this county, some they have bro't from the other side of the mountain, 25 miles off, amongst whom are Tilsca, Wincanen, Lucas and Husbands, in those expeditions of the horse into the most seditious parts of the country, no opposition has been offered, nor does it appear at present
that any is meditated, that is at least til we retire.
General Lee, the Commander, came with the President.
We are informed that the President of the United States intends to be present at the opening of the present session of Congress.

C. W. PEALE. EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the suggestion 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, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, 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 anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communications in a private book which he will 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 secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, once a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disseminating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

Kammerer's, No. 44, north Third Street. Select Stories, For the instruction and amusement of Youth. Adapted to the use of Schools. From the French of M. Berquin Estrat from the Preface. "To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing children, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is raised and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem. Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative; or the animated points of conversation: whether in sly remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature. Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valuable substitute (where such may be preferred) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author."

L. L. D. F. R. S. Embellished with a striking likeness of that Citizen of the World. By JOHN AIKEN, M. D. To which is subjoined an ODE inscribed to John Howard, by William Hayley, Esq. FROM realm to realm, with cross or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep swamps, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank: To caves bestrew'd with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And mur'm'ring demons hate him, and admire.

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual Sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings; and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
