PROPOSITION BY A DEMOCRAT.
Mr. Fenno,
I find that calumnies and false aspersions are continually thrown out in your paper against the Democratic Societies which are formed throughout this land of Liberty—Now Mr. Fenno, I have a Plan in contemplation, which if adopted, I am sure will put an end to all disputes, and eradicate every doubt of the propriety of our measures; and which I now intend to submit to the consideration of all the Democratic Societies throughout the Union—it is as follows:
I do hereby recommend it to my brethren of all the Democratic Societies, to appoint Deputies from each Society, in whom they may repose unbounded confidence; and that those Deputies, in a constitutional manner, take the general sense of the People of the United States, on a question of the greatest importance, and on which the future happiness of this country depends, provided they decide favorably on the same—the Question is as follows:
Whether the People of the United States do not think it highly proper and commendable, and do give their sanction to the same, (as Nature has not been equally bountiful to all men in her dispensations of wisdom) that some of the most enlightened of our fellow-citizens should associate themselves into public bodies, as a guard over the Representatives of the People, to see that they do not violate the Constitution in any respect—that they make laws to please the people—that every act, and all the proceedings, both of the President and Congress, be revised by each and every of the said Democratic Societies throughout the Union; and if they approve of the same, they may pass into operation—and if not, to be void and of none effect.
Now Mr. Fenno, this is the only Plan I can devise, in which the People may not be imposed upon—that the laws may have due weight in every part of the Community, and that Peace, Liberty and Happiness may reign triumphant—And that WE (that is the Democratic Societies) may act in a firm and constitutional manner—preventing every evil which might otherwise flow from an unguarded Government. Whereas now, in doing all the good we can, our only reward is abuse, from a few unprincipled men, who extend their influence over the minds of our less enlightened fellow-citizens, and load us with the most abominable and odious epithets (painful to the hearts of all true Democrats) of self-created bodies, enemies to the country, anarchists, and ten thousand other names more odious, if possible, have been bestowed upon us—and that, instead of having the good of the people and our country at heart, our sole motives are an unbounded ambition and thirst for power—to ingratiate ourselves into popular favor, and by that means, to make our elections sure to some of the most lucrative offices under Government, &c.
But Mr. Fenno, when this plan shall be adopted, I hope we may rest secure in the confidence of our good and peaceable fellow-citizens; and that there will then be an end to all such fabrications. If it should be rejected, as I hope it will not, I shall then give over all hopes of ever seeing this country in that flourishing condition in which we could with it to be—We will likewise disperse and leave the people to their fate. A DEMOCRAT.
N. B. The Democratic Society of this City is particularly requested to make the proper arrangement, and to call a meeting as soon as possible; and likewise to notify their sister Societies throughout the United States of the same, with all possible dispatch, if possible, before the next session of Congress.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
July 4.
Barrere after having announced that the inhabitants of Valenciennes had risen against the Austrian Garrison, expressed himself thus—Far from us let the idea be that that the war should terminate.
Talk of peace! It will be to arrest the progress of Victory, congeal the ardour of republicans, and ruin our country—Offer peace to-day, and to-morrow you will be attacked with new vigour.
It is necessary that our enemies should be destroyed—I have already said that dead men will not return to the charge.
This campaign ought to immortalize us; let us make a terrible war—such as shall be to our enemies a war of death!
UNITED STATES.
AUGUSTA, August 14.
Savannah, 16th May, 1794.
SIR,
I received last evening the letter you did me the honor to write on the 12th instant. It is impossible to express to your Excellency the mortification I feel at the intelligence conveyed by it. After having submitted, for six months past, to live among the Indians, subject myself to every possible inconvenience, and exposed every moment to the danger of being destroyed, for the purpose of establishing peace, to see the fruit of my labours destroyed, in a moment by the rash and lawless conduct of individuals, at a time when an entire good understanding was established, and in a manner which promised to be permanent, fills my mind with the deepest regret.
The Indians on whom this attack has been made, were of tribes who have been the uniform friends of the white people; and it was done when the chiefs were under sanction of the United States and this State, giving your Excellency sincere proofs of their good disposition, by delivering the prisoners in their possession, and they were preparing also to deliver the property taken since the conference at Colerain, as I had the honor of stating to your Excellency when at Augusta. The manner and circumstance attending this unfortunate affair, must convince your Excellency, as well as every other unprejudiced mind, that it is the result of a premeditated combination among a number of individuals, to force the Indians to war, contrary to their ardent wishes for peace, and in violation of the laws of the United States and this State. The persons who have committed these outrages are officers in authority in the militia, some of whom have been guilty of similar acts not long since. What good purpose can it answer for the public agents to make compact, or enter into explanations, and labour to avert the mischiefs of war, when the militia officers embody themselves at pleasure, and attack and destroy even those who are under the immediate sanction and protection of your Excellency.
This attack has been so wanton and unprovoked, that it would be vain to propose any terms of accommodation, unless the persons who have made it are punished.
Your Excellency, who is the depositary of the public force to execute the laws, can best judge how far it is right and practicable; but unless something of the kind previously takes place, I am so certain the Indians would not listen to any overtures of accommodation, that I shall not propose any.
I have done my duty, peace was completely restored, and in a way that appeared to satisfy your Excellency that the Indians meant cordially to observe the terms of it. It now remains with the government of Georgia to punish those of its citizens who have thus wantonly violated it on their part, or to prepare for a war with the whole Creek Nation, the mischiefs of which are not so easily calculated.
The contest is between this government and its citizens.—If the latter cannot be restrained, the Indians have no alternative, they must defend themselves.—If they are restrained and the present aggressors punished according to law, your Excellency then might certainly count on the continuation of peace, but I confess I think not otherwise.
Should any opportunity offer of doing any thing tending to peace, I shall seize it with zeal.
I cannot yet believe that it was Creeks who stole the horses from Franklin county, on the 1st instant but allowing it was, it could not justify Major Adams's attack with about 150 mounted militia on the friendly Indians encamped opposite Fort Fidsus on the 10th inst. or that of another party of ten horsemen the preceding day, on the camp of the Dog King of the Cowetas, who the militia shot through the body. My fears for the safety of the six chiefs who visited your Excellency, and whom you sent under care of General Glacocock to Fort Fidsus, is great, as I have information that their destruction was contemplated by parties of men from the upper counties of this State; and that the general being apprehensive of danger to these people, had changed his rout. Should any injury be done these chiefs, all hope of peace with the Creeks will be at an end. Some unexpected public business calls me to St. Mary's, previous to my going to Philadelphia. I expect, however, to fail for the latter place in ten days from this time, and shall be happy to hear from you before then, being with much respect,
Your Excellency's devoted, Obedient humble servant, JAMES SEAGROVE, Agent Indian Affairs.
His Excellency GEORGE MATTHEWS, Georgia.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 20.
It gives us pleasure to mention, that a large majority of the citizens in the four western counties have acquiesced in the propositions made by the Commissioners on the part of the United States and the State of Pennsylvania, and there is every prospect that, if subscription papers were opened in the different county towns, the submission would be unanimous.
We are informed by the post-rider from Philadelphia, that Governor Mifflin, at the head of 5000 Volunteers, is on his march to the rendezvous at Carlisle.
At a meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Pittsburgh, for the purpose of considering the propositions of certain citizens, during the late disturbances, in which necessity and policy, led to a temporary acquiescence on the part of the town—
It was unanimously resolved, That the said citizens were unjustly exiled, and the said propositions are no longer regarded by the inhabitants of the town of Pittsburgh, and that this resolution be published for the purpose of communicating these sentiments to those who were the subjects of the proscriptions.
By order, A. TANNEHILL, Chairman.
At a meeting of the Committee of Townships for the County of Fayette, held in Union-town on the 17th of September, 1794, the following resolutions were taken into consideration and adopted.
Whereas the inhabitants of this county have, by a large majority, determined to submit to the laws of the United States and of the State of Pennsylvania; and whereas the general committees of the western counties held at Parkersburg, &c. entered into resolutions, for the purpose of protecting the persons and properties of every individual; and whereas it is necessary to shew to our fellow-citizens throughout the United States, that the character of the inhabitants of the western country is not such as may have been represented to them, but that, on the contrary, they are disposed to behave in a peaceable manner, and can preserve good order among themselves, without the assistance of a military force.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the inhabitants of the several townships to take such measures as in their opinion will be best calculated to preserve peace and order among themselves; and that the members of this committee be requested to promote such associations among the body of the people as may be necessary for the protection of persons and property of all citizens, and for the support of civil authority.
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the neighbouring counties, and that they be invited to take similar measures.
Signed by order of the Committee, EDWARD COOK, Chairman.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Thursday, June 19.
The Convention decreed a new creation of assignats, viz.
 200 millions assignats of 5 livres.  300 millions in assignats of 125l.  200 millions in assignats of 1000l.  400 millions in assignats of 250l.  100 millions in assignats of 200l.  5 millions in assignats of 15 sous.  These shall be passed into the chest, with three keys, to be afterwards applied to the service of the nation.
Another decree was passed, ordering the following sums to be issued, viz. And 160 millions to the Commission of Commerce Stores.
 3 millions to that of public works.  20 millions to that of transports, posts, and messengers.  20 millions to that of arms and powder.  2 millions to that of organization, and the movements of the armies. 
LONDON, July 17.
If it be true, as is reported, that there is an understanding between the Emperor of Germany, the King of Prussia, and the French Committee of Public Safety, the consequence of which has been the defection by the former of the Netherlands, we hope it will serve as an additional inducement to Great-Britain to dissolve the unprofitable ties which compel her to pay for the music to which her honourable and illustrious allies now dance the haye.
It is worthy of observation that in the late war the Dutch contrived, within the first year of hostilities against them, to sit out a fleet, which fought the most desperate battle that occurred in the whole war. And now it is not known that a single ship of war of theirs is afloat!
Men are always judged of by success.—Lord Howe once failed to bring the French

to action; he was reprobated for an impossibility. He has now defeated them, and his praise is unbounded. Yet on the score of good intention, he merited the same praise before. This is the great error that clouds the pages of history—the grand cause why character is never fairly understood.

NEW-YORK, September 24.
We are sorry to learn, that the insurrection in Poland begins to assume a sanguinary aspect. On the 27th of June a mob collected—an incendiary harangued the multitude—reproached the national council and criminal tribunal for their slowness in executing justice, on those who were notoriously traitors and suggested the necessity of the people's exercising their undoubted right of punishing the guilty—[that is, the undoubted right of a mob to put men to death without trial or ceremony] the mob erected a gallows and notwithstanding all the efforts of the President of the tribunal and before sentence was passed the enraged populace sacrificed eight respectable persons to their fury.
If men are guilty of treason; let them suffer; but let them first be proved guilty. Yet mobs never wait for proofs—Suspicion alone is sufficient to arm them for the bloody work of butchering their fellow citizens. Formerly the Roman Church burnt men for heresy in religion; now the populace butcher men for heresy in politics. In both cases nine-tenths of the unfortunate victims are guilty of no crime but that of a difference of opinion. Formerly Bishops and Cardinals, sentenced men to the flames for the cause of Christ—and Kings chained men in dungeons for opposing their schemes—now the people have the rod and in their turn take off the heads of Kings, Nobles, Priests, and every other man whose clemency wishes to moderate their relentless fury. Formerly the true Church believed their persecution right. Now the people swear they are right. Merciful God! When will men listen to the voice of nature which declares them all to be brethren—children of a common father—inhabitants of the same earth—and all bound by the same moral connections to love each other and live in universal peace!
We learn that Lord Macartney's Embassy to China has failed of success. This is probably an event very unfortunate for the commercial world for we suspect his mission was intended to establish
some monopoly of the trade to China.
NEW-HAVEN, Sept. 24.
The committee for weekly reports of deaths and the state of sickness in this city certify, that the following persons have died since their last report, viz.
Sept. 20th. A child of Doct. Sam. Darling, Aet. 1, of a lingering illness. A child of Capt. S. Dummer, 2, Scarlet Fever. 22d. Miss Sufanna Gilbert, 11, Putrid Fever.
They further certify, That there are fourteen persons sick of the Putrid Fever, six of them are better and in a fair way of recovery, three are dangerous, that the fever has not arrived to a crisis with the others.
That the disease still grows milder in its attacks, and more readily yields to the power of medicine.
They further certify, that there is but one person sick in all that part of the city northward of George-street and west of Union-street, which divides the Old from the New-Township—that the public roads leading to and through the city, and the principal streets of trade are entirely free from it.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 20.
The following is a letter from a citizen of Philadelphia to an inhabitant of Pittsburgh, in answer to one giving some account of the late transactions.
Philadelphia, August 26, 1794.
SIR, THE papers, which you were so kind as to receive from me, communicated some observations relative to agricultural improvement. Having been transmitted about the middle of July, I am surprised that they had not reached Pittsburgh, when you wrote to me.
Your letter of the 8th instant, containing some serious intimations, I lost no time in procuring it to be seen by several of the principal persons in the Federal and state governments.
No observations upon your information have been communicated to me. It is understood that similar information has been received from other quarters. But one instance is within my knowledge, not having seen the collection of papers, which are before the President and the officers of the government with whom he communicates and advises.
Left my observations might implicate others, whose opinions and views, are unknown to me, you will permit me to premise, that our letters are to be considered as the correspondence of private persons. You have learned by this time, that a measure, appearing to supersede the utility of a deputation from the westward, has been adopted by the President.
Several commissioners, all of whom are citizens of Pennsylvania, and are, or have been recently, in employment under our state government, have been sent to Pittsburgh. I am not acquainted with the details of their instructions, but from the temperate complexion of the measure, and the commission being placed entirely in the hands of citizens of our own state, there appears reason to cherish hopes of favorable consequences. These hopes are strengthened by the mission of commissioners, on the part of the Governor.
My intentions in replying to your letter, do not extend to an examination of the several laws, the nature, operation, and provisions of which, you consider, as either injurious to our western brethren, or disagreeable to all the philosophic men, and the yeomanry of America. I shall confine myself, on the one hand, to some remarks upon the danger to our free governments, and to the peace and safety of the United States, which such means of opposition and relief seem likely to produce—and on the other, to a statement of certain reasons, which appear to render it impossible, that the several objects which you say are meditated will be attained by those means.
THE PUBLIC WILL, constitutionally expressed by representatives elected without fraud or violence, carries an obligation to obedience, of the highest authority. This is the vital principle of our unequalled government. The accomplishment of a federal republic, actually formed and conducted according to this found theory, has attracted to our country the most affectionate confidence of her friends, and the involuntary admiration of her rivals.
At this interesting crisis, an armed opposition to a law thrice sanctioned by the representatives of the people, after two new elections—an opposition therefore repugnant to the vital principle of republicanism, has been originated. Understanding better than any other people, the nature of free government, we shall in the midst of perfect light, if we suffer ourselves to deviate from this cardinal principle. We must roam, without hope, in search of political
truth safety and stability, if we depart from this indefeasible, this almost sacred rule. Sensible of these things, those philosophic men, and that patriotic yeomanry of whom you speak, will cling to the majority of their representative legislature, as the rock of their salvation; and they will be sensible, that if they could lightly abolish the great commandment of freedom "to submit to the public will," on account of a single law, which we have, at all times, the power to repeal, to continue, or to alter; we should become the derision of the world, and the unlamented victims of our own folly. Nor, should we suffer alone—The republican theory of government, which has received its first, and best honors from the hands of the American people, would sustain from the same hands, the deepest wounds! When we consider the past conduct, the character, and the propitious condition of the body of our fellow citizens, it appears utterly improbable, that they will omit the mild, the firm, and ultimately, if they shall be unhappily necessary, even the strong measures, which may be requisite to maintain their present unexampled happiness, under a government of laws, for their own creation.
No doubts can be raised about a more respectable courage in our western brethren, than that species of it, which you mention. No invidious comparisons, on this point, between them and their fellow citizens in other quarters, are made in the Atlantic country.—Nor is the imputation of an enervated spirit, in the citizens of this part of the state, understood to have been made by any of the early opposers to the principles of the laws in question. Let us hope, that as they ought to be, so that they will be, the two last portions of mankind, which will measure strength with each other.
If we look back to the state of things in America and Europe, in the last autumn and winter, we must be struck with the hazards to our peace, which might have arisen out of the appearance of an armed opposition, in any quarter, to an exciting law of this country. It is unnecessary to enumerate the late symptoms of foreign dispositions, the most injurious to the United States, which to appearance were even begun to be carried into execution. In a course of foreign affairs, different from that which has taken place, such a movement as that lately made by the south-western part of Pennsylvania; might have converted those apparent dispositions and beginnings of hostility into general depredations on our commerce, and the most vigorous attacks upon our territory itself—Old hopes might have been revived, or new expectations might have been created in the councils of foreign nations. If such opinions may be justly entertained concerning our late national situation, and the possible consequences of this forceable opposition to our government of laws, can it be reasonably expected, that any permanent support will be now given to that opposition? If you are under a mistake in this point, remember Sir, that it is, in every respect, one of the most serious nature. It really is not my intention to suggest a single idea, with a view to excite apprehensions, nor, as you will see, do I adduce arguments concerning the principles or operations of the excise law. All I desire by my reply to your letter is, to contribute, by suggestions of another nature, to that moderation, which may end this unfortunate dissention without injury to individuals, or inconvenience to the United States.
There are some facts, which ought, perhaps, to persuade our western fellow-citizens to greater temper on the present subject.—The excise was first introduced into Great-Britain by the parliament, which opposed the encroachments of Charles the first, the associates of Hamden, one of the most sincere, and distinguished asserters of the rights of man in the old world. The excise on articles of consumption, including distilled spirits, was first laid in Pennsylvania in the year 1700, by the act of its popular government (in which the British king did not name one officer) and from that time until 1744 fifteen excise laws were passed, by a truly popular assembly, often at variance with the proprietors. A law, confirming the excise of the late province, was passed in the first year of the independence of this commonwealth, Thomas Wharton, junior, being then President, John Jacobs, Speaker of the Assembly, and Timothy Matlack, clerk of the same. In 1779 the excise was encased by a law, which was one of the earliest acts (the fifth) under the administration of President Joseph Reed, the late Judge Bryan, being Vice-President of the Commonwealth, Colonel John Bayard, Speaker of the Assembly, and Col. Timothy Matlack, Secretary of the Supreme Executive Council. In 1780 a new excise law was passed, and in 1781 another; the same gentleman filling the same public employments, excepting that the Speaker of the Assembly was Frederick Augustus Muhlenburg, and the Clerk of that
House was, Thomas Paine, the author of "Common Sense," and of "the Rights of Man." These facts are mentioned here, not as relative to the merits of the law, because as before observed, I purposely avoid the discussion of it, but to show, that as excise laws have been passed under the auspices of citizens, who were deemed in the western country, the sincere and intelligent friends of popular governments, such extreme measures to procure a repeal, really ought not to be resorted to at this time. As it unreasonably to say further, that as the excise appears to have been first established in Pennsylvania in the year 1700, it ought not to be repealed in the ninety-fourth year of its existence, by anything, but fair, and temperate argument?

LATEST NEWS.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Betsey, Joseph Chase, master, in 26 days from Grenada. Capt. Chase informs that the day before he left there (22d Aug.) a packet arrived from England, and brought accounts that the French had taken Guernsey and Jersey, that several places in Holland had surrendered to their victors arms, and that they were rapidly advancing towards Amsterdam. But the Dutch apprehensive of being overrun by their numerous battalions, had opened the Dykes and overflowed the low countries, by which a temporary check to the career of victory is tho' to be the consequence.
The above intelligence was communicated to Capt. Chase by an Officer on board the packet.
NEWARK, Sept. 24.
At a meeting of the Republican Society of the town of Newark, on the 22d Sept. 1794.—On motion, the following resolves were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, As the opinion of this Society, that at no period of our political existence has the government stood so much in need of a public expression of the voice of the citizens in its support as the present—when the operations of its constitutional acts are arrested in their progress by the intervention of lawless and domestic violence.
Resolved, That this Society hold it as an essential ingredient in the Republican government, that the voice of the majority govern: that a deviation from this rule unhinges every principle of freedom, by setting up the will of the few against that of the many. That the conduct of our fellow citizens in several counties of a neighboring state, is a flagrant violation of this important principle—the law which they have refused obedience to, having been constitutionally enacted by a majority of the representatives of the people. If they sincerely believed that this law was unjust and oppressive, they have fatally mistaken the remedy, by substituting force in place of reason, violence in place of arguments, and indecent menaces in place of temperate and manly remonstrance; thus under a pretext of defending their freedom, have they set at defiance the most rational and obvious principle of liberty.
Resolved, That we think it our duty explicitly to declare our sentiments, and say whether we will submit to the arbitrary and tyrannical voice of the minority, or whether we will pledge ourselves to the public to support the republican principles recognized in the Constitution which binds the inhabitants of the United States together. We, therefore, in the most solemn manner, embrace the latter—we look up to the general government as a wall of defence, and as a bond of union; to the state government as the impartial distributor of justice—the repository of domestic security, and the guardians of Civil Liberty. To these wise and well constructed governments, we have cheerfully confided our lives and our properties, and pledge ourselves to our country to support as far as in our power, their constitutional operations. Notwithstanding which we are aware, that our governments are not infallible, but being under the controul of men, are liable to the weaknesses and infirmities incident to human nature, and therefore may do wrong. But as we have a legal, constitutional, and with all a peaceable remedy, to the evils that folly or even vice may cause, they ought to be submitted to, until such constitutional remedy can be applied.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Society any attempts to prevent enquiry into the conduct of government, is as dangerous to civil liberty, as to rise in arms against its constitutional operations.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Society, the late attempts to press on the minds of the people of the United States, a belief that the Republican Societies in the different parts of the union, have been instrumental in promoting the riots in the back parts of
Pennsylvania—is not only an invidious calumny, but calculated to stifle enquiry into the conduct of government; by rendering odious and suspected those who have had virtue and public spirit enough to engage in it, that the man who would involve in the same indiscriminate censure a society of men, who, during the pendency of a law, should peaceably and quietly enquire into its propriety and utility, and a body of men who, after the law was constitutionally enacted, should rise in arms and oppose its execution, must either have a claim on our pity for his ignorance, or merit our contempt for his prostituted principles.

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. Margarot, 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 crimi- nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal perusal and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- est views and objects of the British convention; and proves incontrovertibly, that judi- cial prosecutions for seditious practices and defections are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constitu- tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unassailed even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment."

Lachawannock. A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on- ly, on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and nu- merous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country. The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, naviga- ble to the Susquehanna. Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehanna. It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well water- ed meadow ground. The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance. Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the settlers. Roads are cut in different directions, to- wards the most convenient markets. The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement. The Susquehanna affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city. Another means of connection with Phi- ladelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles. The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one mile square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for their first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians. For further particulars apply to George Eddy. Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9. Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phi- ladelphia, or to this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eodgam.
THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, And to be sold by Robert Campbell, No. 54, South Second Street, second door below the corner of Chesnut Street, MENTORIA; OR The Young Lady's Friend, By Mrs. Rowson, Of the New Theatre, Philadelphia; au- thor of the Inquisitor, Pique de Chambre, Victoria, Charlotte, &c. Price nearly bound 75 cents. Detest be the pen whose baneful influ- ence Could to the youthful docile mind convey Pernicious precepts, tell loose tales, And paint illicit passion in such colours, As might mislead the unsuspicious heart, And instigate the young, unsettled judg- ment. I would not for the riches of the East Abuse the noblest gifts of Heaven thus, Or flink my Genius to such prostitution. Aug. 21. tawim

NOTICE. The GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES is now published at No. 119 CHESNUT STREET—to which place the OFFICE of the Editor is removed, and where PRINTING WORK in general is performed. C. W. PEALE.
EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the in- terests of useful science, has on the sugges- tion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, in- ventions, improvements, schemes, obser- vations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate. Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications ano- nymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communica- tions in a private book, which he shall keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may se- cure to inventors their just claims, and pre- vent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not en- titled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of dissemi- nating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and inven- tion, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.
