This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the Scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution. A complete Plan of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

FOR SALE,
Between nine and ten Thousand
Acres of LAND,
Situate in the county of Frederick, and state of Virginia, being the greater part of Greenway Court Manor. Part of this tract lies on the river Shenandoah, between thirty and forty miles above its junction with the Potomack. The Shenandoah is capable of being rendered navigable, and the navigation of the Potomack is in a fair way of being completed to tide water which circumstances offer in a few years a water carriage to the flourishing towns of Georgetown and Alexandria, and to the City of Washington; from all which places the said tract is distant between seventy and eighty miles by land. The flourishing Borough of Winchester is only twelve or fourteen miles from it.
Between three and four thousands acres of the land are leased generally for terms not exceeding twenty one years and many of the terms have only short periods to run. The remaining quantity being near six thousand acres, consists of the most valuable part of the tract being extremely rich limestone land, similar in quality to the very fertile country in Lancaster and York counties of this state, and in Frederick county of Maryland. An indispitable title will be made to the purchaser.
This tract, being situated in a most healthy and fertile country, offers a most advantageous investment of money; as no part of America can exhibit a more rapid settlement and improvement, and consequently a more rapid increase in the value of real estate. It would be particularly advantageous to a company of settlers as the part not leased, admits of being divided into farms of any size to suit the convenience of the parties concerned.
One half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining half at easy instalments with interest. Further particulars are deemed unnecessary as it is probable the law will be viewed, by any person disposed to buy before he purchases.
The price for the whole tract may be known on application to the hon. Thomas Hartley, Esq., at Yorktown, to the hon. John Wilkes Kittera, Esq., at the town of Lancaster, in this state, to Charles Lee, Esq., at Alexandria in the state of Virginia, or to the subscriber, at No. 29, north Second Street in this city, who will treat with any person or persons disposed to purchase till the fifteenth day of June next.

School for Eloquence.
The subject of public speaking is a most important part of the public business. A SCHOOL, on the evenings of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, from 7 to 8 o'clock, for young Gentlemen whose parents may wish to have them instructed in ORATORY, as an agreeable relaxation after the more useful studies of the day. It is a fact well known, that very many who have had the advantage of a good education, have not acquired, through life, the most approved and elegant mode of public delivery, the pleasure and advantage of which must be strongly felt by every one of true judgment. The Subscriber has, from early life, been intimately acquainted with some of the first literary characters, and has paid strict attention to Garrick, Sheridan, and the best Orators of the age; he trusts, therefore, that he will be found capable of instructing his pupils in the best manner of reading and reciting. As soon as a dozen are engaged to excite the Seeds of Emulation, the School will be opened by the public's humble servant, John Des Moulin. A public day of Speaking, once a quarter, for the inspection of parents and friends. Private Instructions given any hour in the day. Those favouring J. D. M. with their address at No. 89, S. Fourth-street, shall be immediately waited on, and the terms will then be settled agreeable to their inclinations. 4t.

PARIS, January 10. In the sitting of the National Convention the 8th January, the following letter, transmitted by the out-lawed deputy Louvet was read by one of the Secretaries. Frimaire 20th [Dec. 10.] third year of the French Republic one and indivisible.
At the voice of the deliverers of the ninth Thermidor [July 27.] the victims of Robespierre rise out of their tombs and I also demand of you to recall me from exile.
Hebert let loose his band of cut-throats against me; Pache hastened to denounce me; Henriot rushed armed upon me in order to seize me; Couthon ordered me to be arrested; St. Just invented my crimes; Amar drew up the act of accusation, and Barrere outlawed me. It was I who first denounced you the tyrant, the crimes he had committed, and the more horrible crimes he was about to commit. Can you refuse me the right of justifying myself before you against the calumnies of the tyrant? Should the formalities which have protected even Carriere, be less binding with regard to me? No, no—you respect justice, for you are free.
Amar and Barrere are in the midst of you; oblige them, for the first time, to look their victim in the face; force them, at least, to accuse me face to face, not before a band of assassins whom they called a tribunal, but before impartial, upright, and legal judges, before you. Let a decree ordain this solemn act of justice, and I will hasten to appear.
I don't mention the many dangers, the unhear of hardships which were my only companions for these seventeen months. Many of my colleagues have suffered more than I.
Sometimes I hid myself in the remotest corner of a gloomy and subterraneous hole, at another moment panted on rough and desert mountains, errant, abandoned, and proscribed, but at least alone and free; I could often, with a loud voice, protest against tyranny. Without doubt those worthy representatives who have remained within the reach of the tyrant, suffered still more than I; some of them were laden with chains because of their love for liberty; others who saw the threatening arm of the oppressor constantly lifted over their heads, prepared generously, and expected with patience, the moment to rise upon and crush the tyrant. It is not because you will terminate my sufferings that I thank you, with all France; it is
because you have freed our country. Happy is he, after having been oppressed like you for liberty, may hope to defend her again for you.
JEAN BAPTISTE BOUVET, one of the Representatives proscribed in 1793.
ANECDOTE.
MARAT, deprived by nature of all those qualities which render man beloved and respectable in society, supplied in impudence and atrocity what he wanted in eloquence and good sense. When he entered the Hall of the Convention, he called immediately his eyes with an air of self-satisfaction on the spectators in the tribunes, which served as a signal to a party of men and boys to break out in shouts of applause.
Marat commonly took his seat on the first bench opposite the President, but this ill-shaped dwarf, who conceived himself to be the high priest of liberty, did not long remain in one place; he often moved triumphantly from one part of the hall to the other; wherever a member attempted to refute the non-sensical arguments, or combat the ferocious tenets of his party, there he flew and overwhelmed his adversary with gross invectives. If he could not frighten the eloquent orators from the tribune by reiterated insults and menaces, then he gave a signal to his people in the tribunes, who drowned the voice of his enemies by a tremendous tumult.
One day during Isnard's Presidency, when some deputations of Paris demanded the exclusion of certain members of the Convention, the deputy Vincent, formerly a military man, had placed himself on purpose behind Marat, in order to hinder him from quitting his seat. The conceited friend of the people attempted several times to rush upon the moderates who inveighed in the most forcible manner against the perfidious machinations of the Commune of Paris, but Vincent, who had lain hold of his coat, pulled him as often back as he tried to rise.
The extreme conceitedness of Marat did not permit him to suppose it possible that any body should venture to insult an illustrious personage like him; he ascribed the behaviour of Vincent to an ardent desire of enjoying his company, and entered in a conversation; he began with his usual rhapsody on the crimes of the party of State-men, [hommes d'état] but hardly had he reached the middle of his vocabulary of invectives, when Isnard in a solemn manner, invited Tallien, Legendre, Frecon, Chabot, Bentabole, and the rest of Marat's noisy adherents to respect the sanctuary of liberty: Marat wanted now to call the President to order, but being unable to resist the powerful arguments of his stout companion, he exclaimed, "Isnard is indeed a very handsome man, but this is all his merit; he affects the gravity of a Solon, and speaks like a blockhead." "Why?" replied Vincent, there is certainly a great difference between Marat and Isnard; his physiognomy bears the stamp of virtue but thou art crime personified." Marat, furious at this remark, broke out in base invectives, and went off, saying, "Tak' care, I'll mark thy character in such large letters on thy back, that every Sans Culotte shall cry out, There is a Conspirator."
The deputy Vincent was arrested after the 31st May, 1793, and re-admitted in the Convention after the fall of Robespierre.
From late Paris Papers.
[The following papers we have never met with in the London Prints; though by their importance they deserve to be recorded.]
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
December 15.
A Secretary read a letter transmitted by Isnard from his subterranean retreat which he inhabits these last fifteen months; he desired the Convention to judge him or to point out a tribunal where he might prove his innocence, which has not been tarnished since 1789.
"I do not demand, he said, a reparation of the wrongs I have been overwhelmed with: I do not claim a compensation for the hardships I endured: acknowledge my innocence and I will bear the frowns of fortune with indifference. Let Isnard perish; if his death can in any manner contribute to the welfare of the Republic; he will die contented provided that true liberty, those principles which he always adored, triumph as they now do."
Note concerning Isnard, Marat, and Vincent.
[Isnard was known in the legislative assembly as one of the most eloquent and energetic defenders of liberty against the insidious manoeuvres of a treacherous court; re-elected by his fellow citizens of the department of Var (Provence) to represent them in the National Convention he distinguished himself by an unshaken adherence to true principles; in the winter of 1792 to 93, when party spirit was carried to the highest pitch, Isnard, Condorcet, Gregoire and many others of the most distinguished members of the Convention took their seats in the centre of the hall called the plain and were disowned by both parties which seemed determined to sacrifice the interest of the Republic to private views and personal rancour. However, Isnard, though not enraged enough in the opinion of the mountaineers was so far from being suspected of connivance with the Brissotins that about a month before the revolution of the 31st May took place, Marat in his execrable journal, which served at once for a list of proscription and a lever of recommendation, told him in so many words, "You want Barrere and Bhatard; they are men of energy and talents." But Isnard, enjoyed only a few weeks the suffrage of Marat: the famous petition of demand, the exclusion of twenty two members of the Convention was framed by the ferocious Danton, approved of by Robespierre, supported by Tallien, Marat, Legendre, Pétion, Dubois-Crancé, &c. and presented to the Convention by their adherents in the session of Paris.
Isnard, then President of the Convention, reproached with energy the criminal decision of Paris, to usurp the sovereignty of the French people; the Maratists among whom were some of the present leaders of the moderates, then the most zealous abettors of Robespierre, represented the pathetic answer which Isnard gave to the deputation of Paris, as ferocious, and inscribed his name also on the fatal list of proscription, which was for the second time presented the 31st of May 1793. Isnard deposited immediately his powers as deputy, as soon as Barrere, organ of the committee of government, invited the denounced members to suspend themselves voluntarily till the crisis was over: "I have no will, laid he, but that of the people, and no wish but for the triumph of liberty. If my country can be preserved from the horrors of a civil war, I am not only willing to give up my seat in the Convention, but ready to sacrifice every thing dear upon earth; my head may fall if the life of a single citizen can be saved at that price."
The friends of Isnard, for he had many among his colleagues, persuaded him a short time after his arrestation, to fly from Paris; because innocence was no longer a safeguard in the eyes of his persecutors; and the question was not whether he ought to die for his country, but whether he ought to offer his head to a set of men who were determined to immolate the marked out victims indiscriminately as conspirators, in order to cloak their tyranny under the mask of justice.]
Chenier, in his report on public instruction in France, on the 3d of Jan. concluded as follows:
"We have put into the list, the celebrated Thomas Paine. The caprice of the tyrants had driven him from the Convention as a Foreigner; you have revoked that decree, and we no longer see in Thomas Paine, a man of genius without fortune; but a colleague dear to all the friends of humanity; a citizen of the world equally perfected by Pitt and Robespierre; a remarkable circumstance in the life of this philosopher, who opposed the terms of common sense, to the sword of tyranny, the sacred rights of man, to the Machiavellian of English politics, and who by two immortal writings, has deserved well of human kind and consecrated liberty in both hemispheres."

FALMOUTH, (Jamaica) Feb. 18. ARRIVED yesterday the barque Neptune, Miller, from New-York.
The Neptune sailed from New-York on the 22d of December, and on the 8th of January, at 3 P. M. fell in with the privateer Point Petre, off the west end of Tortuga; at P. M. the privateer fired at the Neptune, on which she hove to, when the Point Petre sent a boat on board with a prize master and two men, who ordered her into Port au Paix. As soon as the Neptune anchored Captain Miller, received further orders to wait the determination of the French Administration, whether or not he should be permitted to depart the harbour. Under the mask of trading they compelled him to deliver 100 barrels of flour, 40 of peas, 21 of corn meal, 10 of pilot bread, and about 2000 feet of lumber, the value of which (after a detention of thirty days) they paid, by forcing him to take 9 hogheads of very bad sugar, at the moderate price of nine dollars per cwt. It is to be observed they put their own price on the goods taken, and those given for payment. A mode so novel to the Americans will probably operate as a caution to those who attempt voyages of this nature with a speculative view.
The Neptune sailed from Port au Paix on the 11th instant.

Letter from Mr. Pickering, Secretary of War of the United States, to the Governor of the state of Georgia. War Department, March 20th, 1795. SIR,
I AM directed, by the President of the United States, to inform your excellency, that on the 2d inst. he received from James Gunn, Esq. one of the Senators, and Thomas P. Carnes, Esq. one of the Representatives in Congress from the state of Georgia, a letter, requesting that a treaty might be held with the Indians claiming the right of soil in certain lands lying beyond the temporary boundary of Georgia, for the purpose of extinguishing their claim to them. This request demanded, and has received much consideration. The crisis at which it has been made, has occasioned no small embarrassment to the
executive of the United States. The Creeks have been with difficulty restrained from open war; any movement which may hazard that event must be cautiously made; and it is well known, that no measures excite so much jealousy among them as those which affect their lands, unless they are previously disposed to grant them. How far this may be the case, is unknown; and as Congress, altho' duly informed of the situation of the southern and southwestern frontiers, have provided in the act of appropriation merely for their defensive protection, it behoves the executive to observe great delicacy in the management of Indian affairs. Many enquiries and arrangements must precede the treaty required; and as time is requisite for these, no definite answer can at present be given.
The acts of the legislature of Georgia, one passed on the 23th of December, the other on the 2th of January last, for appropriating and selling Indian lands, were laid before Congress. The deliberations of the two houses illued in a concurrent resolution for directing the attorney general to investigate the title of the state of Georgia, to the lands sold to the several companies, by the act of the 2th of January. A copy of this resolution I have the honor to enclose.
The request before mentioned embraces an important object. The facts here detailed show some of the difficulties in which it is involved: the connection between the two acts is not the least. The President, therefore, while he is solicitous to gratify the wishes of the people of Georgia, so far as may consist with his public duty, thinks it necessary to avoid a hasty decision on the subject with which so many weighty considerations are combined. A postponement is the more necessary, because it is deemed proper that the commissioners for holding such a treaty as that which is requested, should be appointed with the advice and consent of the senate; and under the pressure of the legislative business at the close of a session, it was not practicable to attend to this matter before the adjournment of Congress. The senate will assemble on the 8th of June, on executive business; in the interim, the President will be able further to examine the question of the treaty, in all its relations.
I have the honor to be with great respect your excellency's obedient servant, Timothy Pickering.

NASSAU, (N. P.) March 17.
This day the following articles, composing nearly the whole of the cargo of the ship Harmony, Robinson, an American vessel, from Bordeaux to Norfolk, captured by the Argonaut, were condemned in the court of vice-admiralty, as being French property, viz. 46 hogsheads of silver, 447 hogheads and 320 cales of claret, 200 pipes of brandy, 90 tierses of vinegar, and 3 cales cloves.
From the New-York Evening Post.
Messrs. Princes, AS a gentleman of taste, I cannot help admiring the grandeur of the audience that attended the Musical Entertainment last evening at the Tonine. How enchanting the appearance, how charming the dress, and how divine the behavior of the Ladies; harmony and sociability were the characteristics that illum'd the company; equality was the ruling object of the evening, for, from the lady of the highest rank, down to the tooth-drawers wife, they were all well met.
It was however to be lamented, the carriages that conveyed those heavenly musical souls, were not all equally elegant: Some came in burnished and gilded coaches with servants in livery, that proclaimed to the gazing crowd their owners were persons of no mean extraction; others, whose desires were equally bent on seeing the show, had to take passage in the dark mourning vehicle: there was not, however, any one so grand but had a competitor, and no one so mean but had his fellow.
Thunder-struck, I stood and stared, to see the cavalcade! The Coach full, and in procession followed the Berlin, the Landau, Chariot, Calash, Gig, Whiskey, and Chair, while the prancing of flately steeds caused envy in some and admiration in others. The dark passages (by nature) that conveyed the loveliest of the lovely to the enchanting apartment, were elegantly lighted; but the door was a little too low to admit the feathers without creating some inconveniences. We are happy however to hear that no accidents took place. The citizens who have fashionable wives and daughters, cannot but revere the founders of this instructing and amusing society, who have generously transported themselves to our shores, to teach our females the accomplishments of high life, and learn them to tread in steps their progenitors were ignorant of. BEAU DASH.
NEW-YORK, April 27.
Many people suppose that monarchies are, in their nature, more martial and fond of war, than republics. The disorganizers of this country are frequent

preaching this doctrine, and ascribing all the miseries of war to kings. Kings have indeed done much mischief in the world—they have generally been fond of war, and have entered into or provoked it, on very slight grounds. But unfortunately, facts do not tell a better tale of Republics. All the republics of antiquity were as martial as prone to war, as monarchies—nay, the passion for war was much stronger in the republics of most celebrity, than in most of the ancient despotic countries. There have been no proper republics in modern Europe, except such as have been too small to think of conquest. The French are yet forming a government—neither their character, nor the precise nature of their future government can be yet foreseen.
In America it is a singular fact that the most warm democrats at the present time, are the only advocates for war.
Yet these people declare themselves republicans—they even assume the character of the only republicans in America; and denounce the opposers of war as the friends of monarchy and aristocracy. Their two positions therefore cannot be true—Either the friends of government and peace are the real republicans; or the republicans are most disposed for war; and in either case the democrats must be wrong in one of their assertions.
War is commonly a losing game. Nothing but self defence can justify it. The plea of engaging in war to defend the cause of liberty in another country, is extremely fallacious. The form of government to which men annex the word Liberty , is altogether indefinite. Some nations think liberty can be maintained only in limited monarchies. Even the patriots of England, the wings, Fox, Sheridan &c. are sincerely of this opinion. But the Americans think republics alone can enjoy liberty. Were nations then to engage in war for the liberty of other nations, they would always be involved in hostilities, to maintain particular forms of government—a system fraught with endless mischief.
The following representation of facts is taken from the revolutionary Gazette of Rouen, the metropolis of Normandy.
“The executive commissions of the numerous offices swarm with abuses.—When a person applies to these commissions, he is sent from one deputy or clerk to another. Yet, insolent and ignorant as they are, they must be well lodged and furnished with the expence of the nation.—The most beautiful clocks the most elegant glasses and other expensive furniture, rising out of the proceeds of the civil list, from the goods of the Emigrants, of those condemned or imprisoned, are appropriated to their use. Matthieu declared in the convention that one of them slept on a bed that cost 30,000 livres, [6200 dollars] a very good lodging for a plain republican clerk—a true Sans-Culotte patriot! There are in each office from 30 to 60 clerks or deputies. It is but a little time since the new committee of Public Safety dismissed at once 180 clerks from the office of the administration of small arms!”
The Executive Commission for provisioning the army maintains a host of 174,000 agents or contractors, scattered over the whole surface of the Republic, and the conquered countries. The convention were engaged in repressing these abuses and dilapidations!
The foregoing corresponds with other accounts of abuses in every part of the administration in that country. In time of war, men seek employment without labor, and if severe vigilance is not employed to restrain them, the agents and speculators will multiply, till a country will not maintain them.
Multitudes of agents in this country were perpetually occupied in defrauding the republic. It has been a common practice for the purchasers to charge the republic ten or fifteen per cent more than they have given for provisions, cloathing, freight, &c. This is not stated to prove that republicans and self-styled patriots are worse than other men; but it ought to convince every man that they are no better. Indeed the United States, and this State have had severe experience of this truth.

BOSTON, April 25. The French Convention have shewn their wisdom in “passing to the order of the day,” on what Genet could insinuate against our beloved President. Magnanimity will always command respect.
The intelligence from Europe, of the sailing of an Algerine squadron into the Atlantic is interesting. We are happy, however, in learning from our correspondents at Philadelphia, that the military apparatus destined for Algiers, as the price of peace, and ransom of our fellow-citizens, was embarked on board a vessel bound directly thither. These apparatus, we are told, consist of 6000 stands of arms, 4 field pieces, and a quantity of powder.
Colonel Humphreys failed from Philadelphia for Europe some days since.

F A B L E. O Jove, permit a humble swain To regulate sun, winds, and rain; Sometimes we're scorch'd—then floods defend, And all our hopes are at an end— One season let me try my hand, Thenceforward I'll be at command. Jove nods consent—now gentle showers, And smiling suns alternate powers, And zephyrs breathing o'er the plain, Mature the tow'ring waving grain!— So high, so far, the burthen'd field A four fold harvest seem'd to yield. But ah, when autumn next drew near Sore disappointment clos'd the year— The Gods at human folly laugh The flattering crop, was only chaff.

Copy of a Letter dated Leogane 30th March 1795, from Captain Silas Foster, of the Brig Alma belonging to this port.
SIR, Agreeably to what I wrote you from Leogane, I failed the 5th inst. for Port-au-Prince—on the 7th I was boarded by a privateer belonging to this place, which I letch'd me here by force, where they filled me with guards without giving me the least satisfaction till the 16th, except after trying every means to condemn my cargo as English, an offer of 9 dollars per barrel was made by the Administration to be paid in coffee at twenty sous per pound, which I refused; their General Rigaud at that time coming from Aux-Caves, I petitioned him for permission either to sell my cargo for cash and purchase a return one of the produce of this place otherwise liberty to proceed to such port or ports as I thought proper—the first request he granted, but to leave this port for any other before I landed my cargo, he absolutely refused—no sooner than I began to land my cargo, the Administration sent and forcibly took it away, telling me they would pay for it immediately in coffee and sugar—allowing twelve dollars per barrel for the flour, which they promise to pay in coffee every day, but I believe I shall get here six weeks before I shall get the value of the cargo out of their hands, the usage here is most extraordinary, the whole is, we are here, they have our cargo and when we shall be paid God only knows. They make it a general rule to take all and pay as they please: they pay coffee at 18 or 20 sous, which can be purchased for cash at 10 and 12 sous per pound. Your obedient humble servant, Silas Foster. N. B. After taking the property from
the Americans, they make out an agreement as if they had sold to them which they oblige them to sign or never leave this place.
Extract of a letter from St. Croix of 29th March, to a merchant in the City.
“I am sorry to inform you that this place is glutted with Madeira Wine, owing to an English prize of 300 pipes sold here within a few weeks—I momentarily expect to hear of Tortola being taken, there being 6 French ships and upwards of 1000 men at St. Thomas's for that purpose—superfine flour at 10 dollars per barrel.
Extract of a letter from St. Croix, 22nd February.
The damage done in this river is incredible, never was such a winter known here—March 4th. The barque Prudence Capt. Miller is here—a great number of other Philadelphia vessels are also arrived—all of which must return without cargoes.
LONDON. PROPHECIES.
THERE is a strong similarity between the Prophecies of ARISÉ EVANS, given forth in the time of Cromwell, and those of Mr. Brothers. In the pious writings of Mr. Evans, we find that the 23rd verse of the Prophet Amos contains a prediction of the first work of the long Parliament, viz. the taking down of the Bishops and Cathedrals. “The songs of the Temples shall be howling in that day.” Evans goes on to say, “Ye have also here the dealings of our diurnals, which fly many times, we have taken such a strong hold, and killed so many hundred men, and we lost but five men, but God faith this is their policy—they lost more, and they concealed it, and it is signified in these words—“There shall be dead bodies in every place, and they shall cast them forth with silence.” Query—Would not this verse apply to the present conduct of the Clerks at the Office of the Secretary of State for the War Department, when any of the Relatives of those who are in our Army on the Continent, enquire concerning the fate of their friends?

MERCANTILE INFORMATION. The following is a copy of a letter from the person sent by the committee of merchants of Philadelphia—to collect the proceedings of the Vice Admiralty Courts—in respect to American vessels, captured and condemned in the British Colonies.
Bermuda, 13th April 1795. Sir, I write you (via New-York) by Mr. Cook, informing you of my safe arrival at this place on the 8th inst. since then I have repeatedly waited on the Governor and Judge—the latter has consented that a clerk shall be immediately employed in copying the records of the Court of Vice Admiralty, agreeable to the Secretary, Randolph's orders—the papers are to be examined from time to time by Mr. Hervey—the Attorney employed by Messrs. Perrot.
I have had two interviews with the Governor and Judge upon the business of Privateering, and agreeable to the Governors advice, the Judge has promised to both the Governor and myself, that all vessels brought in here bound from French ports in the West-Indies to America, shall be suspended, by an interlocutory decree; the claimant giving security for an appraised value can proceed with vessel and cargo, and the business suspended until further advice shall be received.
The Advice wished for, as I understand is to know what Instructions the Judges in the West Indies have received from the Lords of the admiralty. Judge Green declares he has received none. Both the Governor and Judge have wrote to Mr. Hammond by Mr. Cook on this business.
In consequence of the Judge's promise of an interlocutory decree, I have prepared security for all the vessels in port (as it was not in the power of the Captains to get off) and shall send the vessels on to Philadelphia, addressed to my house, agreeable to my stipulation here.
This business, and the request of the Governor to wait the event of one trial or more, induces me to delay my departure 'till Wednesday the fifteenth (three days longer than I at first intended) when I shall sail for Barbadoes. I hope my stay will meet with your approbation as you may rest assured Sir, that no unnecessary delay shall take place on my part.
April 14th. Contrary to my expectation no trial has come on to day, which determines me to set off immediately, as I might be disappointed for some time—The Governor has persuaded me to stay, but I conceive it would be of little consequence.
I am assured, that after giving good and sufficient security, we shall be permitted to take our vessels, and go where we please, provided they are from a French port in the West-Indies, and there is no positive proof or strong suspicion of the property being French.
The Governor requests me to assure you, Sir, that at all times he will be happy to render any assistance in his power to the Americans—He is a man of honour, and will cheerfully and fully comply with what he promises.

It may be a tale of truth, for it is no un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- sumed under a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity— the regularity of her former conduct, is en- ticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artless and af- fecting—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely deserves so severe a pu- nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed. a. The Inquisitor—By Mrs. Rowson. 55. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents b. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols 1 dollar a d 50 cents, coarse paper— 1 dollar a d 75 cents, fine.

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
The authors have presumed to attach to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with seeing the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every considerable action, whoever were the authors or actors, mark- ed in its proper colors. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own prin- ciples, they would say, they are neither Tory nor Whig—they love liberty as Eng- lish republicans, and excise every criminal act by which to noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dilate the cloud of political deception, they will, with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
