Tuition of the French Tongue,
IN AN IMPROVED MANNER.
P. L. PORTIER,
AFTER examining the French pronunciation, with regard to the letters made use of to express it, and the difficulties which necessarily occur in its being soon acquired by foreigners who apply themselves to the study of the French tongue; difficulties arising—1st. From the different ways in which the same sound is represented—2d. From the usual way of expressing different sounds—3d. And from the want of means fit to convey to the mind those sounds with simplicity and clearness.
Convinced that to remove these difficulties, or at least to lessen them, is an attempt worthy the attention of those who are desirous to learn the French language.
P. L. PORTIER, most respectfully offers his services to the enlightened public of this city, in order to teach the French tongue, especially the reading of it, by a method yet unpractised anywhere.
This method, simple in itself, is to convey to the mind, by means of particular characters, every kind of sounds, and words, without any regard to the letters used to compose them.
Each character will express one syllable, representing to the mind the only French sound proper for it; these characters are so easy to form, and so recollected, that the meanest conception may thoroughly understand them in less than a month.
As soon as the scholar is acquainted with these characters, he cannot be at a loss in the reading of any French words, because he will find in the table of characters, and observations thereon, the right way of pronouncing every proper word.
Another advantage deriving from this method, is to enable the learner to adapt these characters to his own tongue, which he may find very convenient, either to write private notes, or even correspond with any one having a knowledge of them.
The intention of the author is to keep an Evening School from 7 to 9, and to attend at the houses of those Ladies and Gentlemen who may be pleased to honour him with their commands. He will teach every day, Sundays excepted, one hour by lesson, during which, he will do his utmost to deserve their favours.
He may presume to assure his patrons, that the greatest punctuality shall be observed in his hours of attendance, and that neither care nor pains shall be wanting for their improvement in reading, writing and speaking the French language. Apply to No. 181, south Front Street, between Spruce and Pine-street. November 17. eod t.v.
CAUTION.
THE LOT of ground 39 feet 3 inches front on Fifth-street, and 124 feet deep on Oakhill-street, took possession of by Timothy Hurst, as Attorney to William Hart, is subject to a ground rent, for ever, of twenty-four pounds ten shillings and seven-pence half-penny per annum—Also, to arrears of rent due first of January, 1796, ninety-eight pounds two shillings and six pence to the subscriber.

Tusculum, Nov. 21. *44v.
STRICTURES on a publication, entitled "Tenures of Mr. Jay's Treaty, from a S. C. paper."
[CONCLUDED.]
"By the constitution, congress is endowed with the power of declaring war: Suppose," says he, "that this had been an offensive and defensive alliance, binding us to join Great-Britain in hostilities against France; could the President and Senate thus negotiate us into a war?" I will change the supposition, and then ask him the question: when Genet proposed a treaty in 1793, the sine qua non of which was our taking part in the war, (which was happily avoided by the President's refusal to convene the Senate for that purpose, and for which this writer has never forgiven him) suppose an alliance, offensive and defensive, with France, had been made, would not Citizen Genet and his American abettors have thus negotiated us into a war? By the constitution, congress is empowered to regulate commerce with the Indian tribes: he asks, "what right there is by treaty to regulate our commerce with the Indian tribes?" And then he asserts, that "whenever a treaty of peace and amity has heretofore been concluded with the Indians, it has been the constitutional practice of the President to call on congress to regulate the commerce with them." What does this prove? The cases where the President has recommended to congress to regulate the intercourse with the Indian tribes were only those in relation to tribes with whom there were no treaties, or those with whom there were only treaties of peace, or those with whom regulations of commerce and intercourse had not been stipulated by treaty: But I challenge any one to produce an instance where, after a precise stipulation by treaty on the subject of commerce, the President has called on congress to confirm that by law. On the other hand, all our treaties with the Indian tribes will furnish instances, overturning the whole of this writer's doctrine; some containing regulations of commerce or intercourse, others containing grants of money, either by payments in gross or annual payments, and others fixing territorial boundaries, none of which have ever been confirmed by congress, or have ever suggested the necessity of such confirmation. It was reserved for a treaty with England to call forth all the venom of faction against the constitutional powers of the President and Senate, and to excite to discoveries never dreamt of before. It will not be doubted by those who have traced the source of certain dogmas, that a treaty with France would have suffered all those constitutional questions to have receded in peace. A mind the least discerning will not fail to carry all these objections to their proper account.
"Congress," he proceeds to remark, "have the exclusive right to define piracy." Had he examined the act of congress on the subject of crimes and punishments, he would have found therein a reference to piracy by treaty. Congress knew so well the extent of the treaty-making power, that they expressly recognize it, by referring to cases of piracy defined by treaty; and this was done without the idea of an objection. This, among other points, is at once a specimen of the writer's ignorance, and an evidence that he is not, nor has ever been, in the station which his herald has proclaimed.
"By the constitution," we are next told, "no tax or duty can be laid on articles exported from any state." The 12th article is again pressed into the service of this writer, tho' no part of the treaty, to prove that the constitution has been violated: he says, is it not wicked to suppose that by treaty the exportation of the articles themselves can be prohibited? Observe the fallacy of this argument: The constitution provides that no duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state, that is the produce of any state; therefore it is an infraction of the constitution to prohibit the exportation of the produce of the West-Indies in American bottoms. Now, there are three points which take this out of the constitution. 1. No tax or duty is laid, but the exportation is prohibited; 2. It is not of the produce of the United States, but of the West-Indies; 3. It is not a total prohibition of the export, but in American bottoms: To extend this clause of the constitution to all articles exported from the United States, would be preposterous, for then the whole system of drawbacks would be annihilated. Congress have always regulated the terms on which foreign articles may be re-exported from the United States; and may prohibit, when expedient, their re-exportation altogether. To argue, that because a tax or duty cannot be laid on the export of American produce, the total exportation of them cannot, under certain circumstances, be prohibited, would be to retain in congress from exercising the salutary power of laying embargoes, (a power which has been even delegated to the President alone) and of stopping in time of war, the export of certain commodities, which might be indispensably necessary for national safety, a power which has recently been exercised.
This portrait painter and delineator of features, who possesses to so eminent a degree the talent of distortion, having exhausted his genius in the display of all the numerous cases of usurpation of power, as he calls it, by the President and Senate, adverts next to one case, which he terms an alienation of power. "An act of congress cannot, (and can a treaty? he asks) surrender the right of sequestering the property (meaning the debts) of a hostile nation?" He ought first to have shown that such right existed. Is it not wonderful, and accountable for only by that perversion of ideas which seizes on those who make every thing bend to a favorite doctrine, that the same individual who cavils through many a long page at clear and admitted powers, should immediately after claim a power not only not expressed, but only to be deduced by a strained and inadmissible construction; that the stickler for a rigid adherence to, and strict construction of the powers derived from the constitution, should be the advocate (when it suits his purpose) of an usurpation of a right, which is not warranted by any part of that instrument, I mean the right of congress to sequester debts? I call on this writer, or any of his admirers or associates, to put his finger on that clause of the constitution which assigns to congress the right of interfering directly in private contracts. I deny their power of so doing, except by an organization of the federal courts, in which case their arrangements must be uniform; general, and applicable to all debts, domestic as well as foreign. And yet this writer laments perversely that Mr. Dayton's proposition, which was for an interference in private contracts, in time of peace, and which was abandoned from a conviction of its unconstitutionality as well as impolicy, did not succeed! Perhaps it will be asked, why the treaty then guards against the exercise of an act, which is not lawful? The answer is obvious: it was to restrain congress by the injunctions of good faith and the fear of consequences, from an exercise of power, to which, without such restraint, they might be prompted in a moment of heat and resentment. A little knowledge of popular bodies will inform us, that there are periods, when they, like individuals, are more under the influence of passion than reason, and when constitutional barriers have as little efficacy as arguments addressed to their judgment: on these occasions, should even the ties of treaties be broken, it is of public utility and for the national good, that there should be the check of other branches, who would have the injunctions of solemn stipulation, superadded to those of reason and honour.

There are some other features of this political Lavater which are subject to the same animadversions as the preceding; indeed the whole piece teems with the most barefaced misrepresentations of the treaty, or the most glaring misinterpretations of the constitution. Every part of it might with ease be refuted to the satisfaction of every intelligent and unprejudiced reader. But fatigued and disgusted with displaying thus minutely the monstrous absurdities of his doctrines, it will suffice to sum up the whole with this observation, that all which relates to fact is misrepresented, all that relates to the constitution is misconstrued. The whole reasoning on the constitution, which constitutes the essence of this precious production, concludes in this, "that no treaty whatever can be made."
If his reasoning proves any thing, it must result in that: for, he says, "Congress, by the constitution, have the exclusive right, 1. to regulate commerce with foreign nations and with the Indian tribes; 2. to take money out of the treasury; 3. to declare war; 4. to define piracy; 5. to make rules respecting territory; 6. to borrow money:" consequently the President and senate cannot bind the United States in respect to any of these objects: but in as much as no power but the President and senate can make treaties, by the constitution, it follows that no treaty whatever can be made in relation to any of those objects, and consequently no treaty at all; for it is impossible to suppose a case of a treaty which shall not embrace one or another of them. How will he extricate himself from this dilemma? If he says, "the treaty, when ratified by the President and senate, must afterwards be ratified by the house of representatives," then the treaty will not be made by the President and two thirds of the senate, agreeably to the constitution, but by the President and Congress: if he says, that after the treaty is ratified by the President and senate, acts of congress must pass to carry it into effect, then the President and senate are divested of their constitutional authority; for their ratification would be inoperative, without the concurrence of the house of representatives; and there would be this further absurdity, that the senate would by a majority of votes revise what they had sanctioned by two-thirds.
Such are the inconsistencies into which those writers run, who, abandoning the plain dictates of common sense and the simple path of the constitution, entangle themselves in the labyrinths of chicanery and error: and yet, so great is the force of prejudice, so much are the understandings of sensible men frequently clouded by the mists of passion, that this distorting of truth is laid to have his admirers! A superficial and cursory perusal of a lengthy piece, artfully adorned with the flowers of rhetoric and the beguilements of sophistry, may for a moment mislead even the well-informed; but they will, if unprejudiced, soon see the deception and search for something solid and substantial. They will turn to the constitution, where they will find, in plain and intelligible language, "that the President and the senate have the power to make treaties, and that such treaties are the supreme law of the land." They will then execrate the men who have prostituted their talents in thus endeavoring to impose on their understandings.
I shall terminate these strictures with one question: had the President and senate, in the year 1793, when applied to by citizen Genet, entered into an alliance offensive and defensive with France, by virtue of which the United States stipulated to declare war against England, to borrow money, to raise armies, to regulate piracy, and to regulate the commercial intercourse of the two countries, would the writer of the features or his partisans have uttered a syllable of doubt touching their constitutional right of making such a treaty?

SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
[From the publications in the Chronicle*, said to be proceedings of the town of Plymouth,] the public might (if they credited any thing issuing from that source) be led to believe that the inhabitants of that ancient town were disorganizing antifederalists. To free them from an imputation so disgraceful, we are happy in being able to present the citizens of the United States, with the following PROTEST—which strongly evinces that the most respectable part of the citizens thereof, and those most largely embarked in navigation, are firm friends to the Federal Government, to good order, and the constituted authorities.]
Whereas at a meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Plymouth, on the 28th day of October inst. "for the purpose of taking into serious consideration the treaty entered into by the President, and twenty Senators, and the government of Great Britain," it was hastily determined to dispose with
the legal qualifications of voters, in consequence of which determination, a large number of the inhabitants, immediately withdrew themselves, conceiving the meeting to be no longer a legal meeting of the town. Notwithstanding which, sundry persons remained, and calling themselves the town of Plymouth, proceeded to pass resolutions, reprobating in strong and indecent terms, the conduct of the Supreme Executive of the United States. We the subscribers inhabitants of the town of Plymouth, holding in just abhorrence such irregular proceedings, think it our duty, publicly to manifest our "marked and pointed disapprobation," of the same for the following reasons:
First. Because the treaty having received the sanction of the Constituted Authorities, (so far as depends on the decision of those authorities) has become in the language of the Constitution, "the supreme law of the land"—any attempts therefore to counteract its operation, is an open and avowed opposition to the general government, and highly alarming to the peace of the community, as the insurrection in the Western counties of Pennsylvania, probably originated in meetings conducted with equal temper and moderation.
Second. Because the persons assembled at this meeting were incompetent to decide, on the merits of so complex an instrument, as the treaty, very few of them ever having seen or read it, and every thing relative to the whole business, being previously prepared by the original movers of the meeting, who in all instances, have been hostile to the federal constitution and the administration of it, from its first establishment.
Third. Because such meetings, and the efforts made to convene them, by practising on the passions of the honest, though uninformed, are in the extreme dangerous in a republican government, having a direct tendency to introduce the empire of licentiousness, which is only a short prelude to the more permanent one of despotism.
Fourth. Because the strictures made on the treaty, in the aforesaid resolutions, are a mere repetition of certain inflammatory sentiments, which have been echoed and re-echoed to the public; and while they contain the most unfounded, indiscriminate censure on illustrious and amiable patriots, whose important, meritorious services rendered their country, ought to endear them to every friend of it, pay the highest eulogium to Stephens Thomson Mason, a Senator of the United States, for a notorious breach of official confidence.

"Issachar is a strong ass."
WILLING to carry any burdens through thick and thin; the dirtiest roads, the most formidable obstructions the "hill difficulty" or the "valley of humiliation" are all the same to "strong asses" of this world.
On my return from a visit to a brother parson, I stopped at an Inn for refreshment, and an African hostler held my stirrup for a weary limb to dismount. His hat was under his arm, his body bent to more than a curve, and his looks of cringing obsequiousness for a moment angered me, not at him, for I saw slave in the furrows of his cheek, but at the first gold coast navigators who thus dared to change humanity into a "strong ass." Not slaves alone are thus meanly subservient, I observed, to myself. I know some in that predicament who are free—Is it possible? How free? Why they have the keys to their chamber—they go, like the winds, where they list—they are not in the custody of the officer—But avarice sends them on vile errands, and to fetch or carry gold, they "couch down" like Issachar the "strong ass."
I sometimes see a little mercenary attorney "couching down" at the bar, taxing his bill of cost and pointing to the careless client that he has forgotten "one shilling more for this writ." I hear him argue, not with ingenuity, not with eloquence, for then I should do him homage, but by rote; croaking sentences from the statute book, and hesitating law from his "puddled" memory. I hear him scold a trembling culprit, as a toothless old woman scolds a wayward child; a culprit for the first time whose only offence is cutting a twig from the way-side tree. But this archin avenger of public wrongs holds his dogs eared law in one hand, and rudely pushes from him "sweet mercy" with the other. His bray, his stupidity, his callousness are all derived from the house of "Issachar" and when I see him with his green bag moiling for the last dollar of the entangled client, verily I see as "strong" an "ass" as the patriarch did, when he gazed at the most sluggish of his children.
On some of those days, when I do not preach myself, I sit down in the body seat of the first meeting house that I find. Occasionally I am instructed by an ingenious sermon modelled by a "workman that needeth not to be ashamed," but when the clergyman is corpulent, red faced, and a heavy leane upon the cushion, when he sounds divinity through his nose, when he copies the huge pages of Dr. Gill or Flavel, and reads them without emphasis, though I cannot discern long ears rising each side of his wig, I am confident that some "strong ass" has mistaken the pulpit for the stable.
When a Candidate for Congress, instead of studying the constitution at home, is constantly in a bar room with a mug in his hand counting the suffrages of the populace. When, for the sake of a vote, he bows the neck of his judgment at the beckon of a fool, and resigns his belt grounded opinions to slide easily into those of his neighbour. When, like absalom he stands at the city gate, taking every stranger familiarly by the hand, inquiring his grievances, and hinting that, "if I were a ruler in Israel how soon they would be redressed," the most careless elector may anticipate Virginia politics hotter than the sun, battles against the funding system, crude calumny against the President, zeal for French lanterns, and resolutions of democratic clubs enough to fill both panniers of a "strong ass."
Should I in a morning's walk or ride, stop for rest at some log house or cottage in my way, and see a scurvy looking fellow, smelling strong of naufragus drugs, poking frequently into old saddle bags, and feeling pulses which keep time with

the watch, I should naturally think of "Issachar." But should I hear the words "white swelling," or "right rose cancer," although I was a thousand leagues from the Cape de Verds and Spain, I should be positive that I heard something bray, and that some Quack was near me in the shape of a "strong ass."

FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION.
September 20.
Letourneur de la Manche—"I am charged by the Committee of Public Welfare, to inform you of the success of the Armies of the Sambre and Meuse; Gillet, the Representative of the People with that Army, writes word that all the divisions of the Army of the Sambre and Meuse, amounting to near a Hundred Thousand Men, have accepted the Constitution on the field of battle.
"Since the passage of the Rhine, our Army has continued to march along the banks of that river. On the 28th Fructidor, they passed the Sieg, and are now marching towards the Lahn; The enemy are flying before them, and dare not venture on a general engagement. General Jourdan gave the following account, to the Representative, of the engagement which took place on the preceding day.
"I informed you, in my Letter of yesterday, of the attack which we directed against the rear of the Enemy: our success has been complete; after a cannonading, and an engagement which lasted some hours, our Cavalry decided the contest, by their vigorous charge on the Enemy's Cavalry and Artillery. A thirteen pounder and a howitzer have fallen into our hands. The enemy had a number of killed and wounded, and we made many prisoners.
"General Le Febre, who is employed in pursuing the enemy, has not yet been able to give any particulars. The rear of the enemy would have been treated infinitely worse, and their Artillery would have entirely fallen into our power, if our Infantry could have acted; but the latter were extremely fatigued from a march of near seven leagues, which they made in a very hot day.
(Signed) "JOURDAN."
2d Vendemiaire—Sept. 24.
Letourneur (de la Manche,) the reporter of the committee of the public welfare, announced, that the army of the Rhine and Moselle, anxious to emulate the glory of their brethren of the army of the Sambre and the Meuse, in subduing the enemy on the opposite banks of the Rhine, had effected the passage of that river in the vicinity of Mannheim.
On the 20th of September, Mannheim surrendered by capitulation, to the victorious arms of the French Republic. This acquisition was made without the loss of a single man, or the discharge of a single gun.
Letourneur read the articles of capitulation, signed by General Pichegru, on the one part, and by the governor of Mannheim, and the minister of the Elector Palatine on the other.
CAPITULATION OF MANNHEIM.
1. The French shall be left in possession of the City and Fortress of Mannheim with all the ammunition, magazines, and artillery, until the conclusion of a Peace, when they shall be restored in the same state to the Elector.
2. The Garrison shall march out with their arms and baggage within 24 hours.
3. The Magistrates, and Ministers of Religion shall not be interrupted in the exercise of their different functions.
4. The Prisoners of War shall be released on both sides.
5. The Duke of Deux-Ponts, and his Ministers, may either remain in the City, or quit it, as they please.
The Palatinate shall be considered as a Neutral Country, and, as such, shall neither be subject to contributions nor requisitions. But that part of the Palatinate, which was reduced by the Army of the Sambre and Meuse, shall not be comprised in the exemption accorded by this Article.
6000 Quintals of wheat, 400 sacks of oats, and 200 pieces of artillery, with a proportionate quantity of ammunition, were found in Mannheim.
Merlin of Donai, in the name of the Committee of Public Welfare, made a Report on the Conquered Countries, and particularly on Belgium and the Country of Liege; he declared that it would be unworthy of the French Nation to deliver up to the vengeance of their ancient Tyrants, a Nation to whom they had promised Liberty. He thought that the interest of the Republic demanded, in this instance, with the engagements it had contracted. "It is necessary (said he) that we should not suffer Austria to be too near our Frontiers, and to keep those who so long have been our Enemies, at a distance from our Territories. It is of the greatest importance to us to multiply our means of commerce and navigation, and not to separate ourselves from Holland, where England will not cease to carry on its numerous intrigues and conspiracies, in order to conquer that Country, with the view to restore its ancient despotism."

FEDERAL SHIP NEWS.
The good ship Federal Government, GEORGE WASHINGTON, Commander, still prosecutes her voyage with safety and success. For some time past a gang of land lubbers, who were entered on board as ordinary seamen, have been frightened at some flocks of Mother Carey's chickens, which have hovered about the ship, and have been continually bawling out Rocks, Rocks a head—look out for breakers, and other outcries equally as vociferous—The old seaman at the bows, whose duty it is to cry, has seen nothing of the rocks, and the seamen in the chains continually cry, no soundings. But notwithstanding these, and the Capt. always at the helm, these land lubbers are always on the cry of Rocks and Breakers when on deck; and when between decks as constantly insinuate that the Capt. means to run on the breakers and destroy the vessel. The Mates and Old seamen laugh at the swabbers; and to quell their fears, ask them if the Commo-
dore would destroy himself and ship for the sake of drowning such animals as they are? This stops their jaws for a moment; but the instant their watch is called, they continue the old tune; and the honest tars can scarcely sleep in their bunks for the noise. Notwithstanding the fears of these mutineers, whenever a squall takes the ship, they are the last to help hand the sails; but are seen creeping about deck whimpering something about "I told you so"—So that the true tars, though continually bothered with their slack jaw in good weather, have all the duty to do in storms and tempests.—Thank God, they are equal to the safe navigation of the ship; and are determined never to quit until she is safely moored in the haven of public security and permanent peace.

STOCKBRIDGE, (Mass.) Nov. 17.
Bache's AURORA, received by the last mail, contains further abuse of the President, the late Secretary, and the present Secretary of the Treasury.
It is evident that the sons of faction and anarchy are collecting their whole force, in order to make one desperate effort to overthrow the present government of our country. No pains are spared, no falsehoods untold, no suggestions (not even the most vile which total depravity can engender) are withheld, to endeavor to lessen the confidence of the people in WASHINGTON. One of Bache's writers insinuates that there is room for suspicion that the President took care to advance his pecuniary interest, while at the head of his fellow soldiers fighting in defence of America. The time cannot be far distant, when those who are endeavouring to level to the same standard of baseness with themselves men who enjoy the confidence of the great majority of the people, will either produce the sway of prevalent villainy, or place the anarchists and disorganizers in a situation in which they will experience "a fearful looking for of the fiery indignation and vengeance" of America—and not only a looking for, but the hand of justice, and all its rigours, must light upon their guilty heads.

COMMUNICATION.
In a piece signed "Camillus Simplex," published in a New York Jacobin paper, and republished in a Philadelphia Jacobin paper, there is a pretended quotation from "Mr. Hamilton's Explanation," lately published, in which that gentleman is made to say, "the twenty virtuous men of our country," &c. whereas his expression is, the "truly virtuous men of our country," &c. this is only a new instance of their attempts at imposition.
From the Courier de la France, &c.
The following extracts from the Daily Journal printed at Paris, will give some ideas of the unlimited liberty of the Press produced in France by the unlimited tyranny which the people seek to destroy.
LETTERS TO THE EDITORS.
Consult that tenant, who finds himself in the place of the proprietor; consult that valet, who hath taken the place of his master—they will curse the revolution: Consult that rich stock-jobber whom the revolution found on a dunghill; and who reposes, notwithstanding, under gilded canopies, they will tell you that the revolution is the scourge of the human race: Speak to that man whom the revolution hath drawn from the dust of oblivion, to elevate him to the most important trusts—you will see him laugh when you tell him that the revolution is an evil. What then is this revolution, if it is alike odious even to those whose benefit it hath effected? Ought those then to be so severely judged for complaining who have lost their fortune, their honour, and every thing that they had most dear! Shall I be devoted to the public hatred for saying that, concerning the revolution, which those who made it, say themselves? If you are dissatisfied with your own work, what good would you have me say of it? But, we should be occupied less with remarking the misfortunes of the revolution, than in searching the means of finishing it—Vainly do they still declaim against the best citizens, by repeating the epithets of royalists and aristocrats; there are but two opinions amongst the French, that of those who wish to put a period to the revolution, and that of those who wish to re-commence it. Those who wish to put a period to the revolution demand not a king, but that tranquillity which they enjoyed under the kings; those who wish to re-commence it, do not call for liberty, but the abolition and the triumph of all the crimes of which liberty has been the pretext.

ALBANY, October 30.
A cucumber has been raised in a garden at Stillwater, the past season, from a seed brought from the East-Indies, which measured six feet and some inches in length—another from the same seed exceeded five feet, and several from 12 to 24 inches. The longest was about the bigness of a man's thigh—It is said, the plant had not a fair chance in the early part of the season, having been shaded from the influence of the morning sun.
Several pumpkins have been raised in this quarter, the last season which measure from 5 to 6 and 7 feet in circumference, and weighing 60, 80, and 100 lbs. each. There is one at Webster's Bookstore, in this city, which exceeds 60 lb.
BALTIMORE, November 21.

NORFOLK, Nov. 14.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Winifred, Capt. W. Colley, 56 days from Liverpool.
Capt. Colley failed from Liverpool in company with the ships Hope, of Fredericksburg, bound to Baltimore. On the 22d, in lat. 49. 46. N. long. 9. 22. W. past by a fleet of 75 sail of merchantmen, under convoy of a two decker and two frigates.—On the 22d, spoke the ship Juno, of Boston, Capt. Harvey, from Virginia, bound to Havre de Grace, out 7 weeks.
The brig Carew, Capt. Waller, belonging to this port, and the brig Sisters, of Petersburg, capt. Garey, were to sail for this port 10 days after the Winifred—The brig Jolly Tar, capt. Vaughan, failed the day before capt. Colley.
By a gentleman who arrived last night from Hampton Roads, we are told, that a number of vessels of different sizes have come into the Roads, among them a ship from Rochfort for Alexandria; a brig from Liverpool for Baltimore, 11 weeks out, and a ship from Bourdeaux for the same place, a very long passage, she run short of provisions, in consequence of which the Capt. threw himself over board and was drowned.
PETERSBURG, (Virg.) Nov. 17.
On Saturday last a duel was fought in this town between Captain John Jeffers and Mr. John W. Johnson—the first fire capt. Jeffers received a ball in his right side, which put a period to his existence. We cannot undertake to detail the cause of this event—we leave that to the recollection of those who are better informed of the subject: Suffice it to say, that a benevolent and good man has lost his life in defence of a character, and in support of a reputation, that had long gained him the confidence and esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
The next day he was buried with all the military honors which so deserving a character merited, attended also by the brethren of Petersburg and Blandford Lodges, and a much more numerous company of ladies and gentlemen than was ever known at a funeral in this town before. At Church a funeral discourse was preached by the Rev. Mr. Syme, from the following text—"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow: for what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away—after which the congregation attended with heartfelt sorrow the last remains of their departed friend and deposited it in the silent grave!

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 front 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 laid, 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 Prize 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 frugals 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 unreservedly necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the inure suspension indispensable.
February 24, 1795. SAMUEL BLODGET.
A MILL for SALE.
FOR SALE, on private contract, five undivided sixths parts of that valuable merchant-mill, called Old Pennypack Mill, with two dwelling houses, stables, cooper's shop, cask house, and other convenient buildings, with about 20 acres of good land, the greatest part thereof is excellent watered meadow, the remainder garden, orchard, and wood land; situate ten miles from Philadelphia, near the Washington Tavern, partly on the post-road leading to New-York, and partly on the River road; a remarkably healthy country, and an excellent neighbourhood. This mill being on Pennypack creek, a heavy stream of water, with about 15 feet head and fall, and the tide flowing about 6 feet, will admit a vessel carrying 1350 bushels of wheat to lay along side, and unload into the mill with Evans's elevator in about three hours. The mill-house is large and built of stone, founded on a rock, the walls uncommonly thick and strong, (such a piece of mason work is rarely to be found) contains five floors, two water wheels, and three pair of the best French burr stones all running, double geared, with three boiling reels and cloths of the first quality, rolling screen, cylinder, and fans for cleaning wheat in the best manner, and passing it afterwards by an elevator into a hanging garner; also, conveyers, elevators, and hopper boy, all in complete order. There are two large frame buildings adjoining the mill, which are convenient for storing flour, shorts, casks, &c. A corn-kiln is erected within the building, with boiling reel, cloth, and other necessary fixtures for manufacturing large quantities of kiln-dried corn meal. The stream of water is so constant that upwards of 60,000 bushels of wheat have frequently been manufactured at this mill, annually. The tumbling dam was built of stone and frame about 30 years ago, but the late extraordinary frescoes have made a breach therein, it can easily be repaired altogether with stone, the greatest part of which is already at hand, and the remainder can be quarried near the dam, as there are several good quarries of excellent stone on the premises, and adjacent to the creek; the contiguity of this very valuable estate to Philadelphia, and the easy navigation for flatboats, with the above-mentioned great advantages, and many others not here mentioned, must be obvious to any person who may view the premises.
An indisputable title, clear of all encumbrances, will be made to the purchaser on paying part of the money, and giving satisfactory security for the remainder, payable with interest in instalments at such times as may be agreed on. For further particulars enquire on the premises of FRANCES LEWIS, Executrix to the estate of Robert Lewis, deceased; JOHN SWIFT, near Buffell-Town; or NATHANIEL LEWIS, or DAVID LEWIS, in Philadelphia.

November 4. Forty Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscriber, living at Mordington Mills, near Frederica, in Kent county, state of Delaware, on the night of the 27th of June last, a slave negro man named BENN, about 27 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, of a yellow complexion, and might pass for a mulatto. The clothes he had on cannot, with exactness, be described, as he made several breaches of honesty, in that way, on his setting out. He is a very great lover in his dress; has naturally a condemned and surly countenance, altho' he at times affects a smiling one; his village is thin, with large black whiskers; the whites of his eyes often red: it is not recollected whether he has any particular flesh-marks, except on his back, where they may be seen (tho' light) the soles of the whip, placed by judicial authority, for house-breaking, lock-breaking, larceny, &c. as well before, as since I purchased him. He is possessed of but a small share of reason or sensibility; a great coward, his looks are devilish, and at the same time sneaking. As he took his flight upwards from here, at the commencement of harvest, it is presumed he was persuaded by some of the free negroes in this quarter to make his escape with them—should he not be in Philadelphia, he is probably between here and there. Whoever takes up the said negro BENN, and secures him in any public goal, so that his master may get him again, shall have the above reward; and if brought home additional charges for reasonable expenses, paid by James Douglass.

"It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity, of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treachery of his friend."   Delaware The situation are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."   Maryland 1. The Inquirer—by Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 37 1 2 cents.   Virginia 2.
