Christiana Mills For Sale. ON Monday the fifth day of September next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia, will be sold by public vendue, two tracts or pieces of land situated in White Clay Creek hundred, New Castle county and state of Delaware; one of which contains about sixty acres of highly improved land, on it are a large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with stabling and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Patterson's) which being at the head of the tide on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently situated for carrying the articles manufactured at the mills by water to Philadelphia - This property being close to the road leading from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at the head of the tide, with many other attendant advantages, renders its situation for the milling business to very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none. The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills. The terms upon which the above mentioned estates will be sold are - one thousand pounds to be paid on executing the deeds, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionally for each part. Indisputable titles will be made for the property, by JOHN NIXON, ALEX. FOSTER, GEO. LATIMER. At same time and place will be sold a large BOAT, July 2
One thousand Dollars REWARD.
Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately discovered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter D, for their alphabetical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure. No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately issued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dollars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz. The person or persons, who engraved the plate. The printer, or printers of the said bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. WILLIAM PATTERSON. President of the Bank of Maryland. Baltimore, April 8, 1794.

From the LONDON GAZETTE.
WHITEHALL May 23. A dispatch of which the following is a copy, was this morning received from his Royal Highness the Duke of York, by the right honorable Henry Dundas, his majesty's principal Secretary of State for the home department.
TOURNAI, May 19. SIR, In my last letter I mentioned to you his Imperial majesty's intention of making a general attack with his whole force, in order, by a joint co-operation with the troops under the command of general Clairfayt, to compel the enemy to evacuate Flanders.
On the 16th, at night, the army moved forward for this purpose, in five columns. The two columns on the left were intended to force the passage of the Marque, and, by a vigorous attack on the enemy's posts along the river, to cover the operations of the three remaining columns: these were destined to force the enemy's posts by Roubaix, Waterloo, and Moureaux, thus to favour General Clairfayt's passage of the Lys, and then by a junction with his corps, to have cut off the communication between Lille and Courtray.
Unfortunately the two columns on the left forced the passage of the Marque so late, and were so much fatigued by the length of their march, that they were not able to accomplish the remainder of the proposed plan; while the column on the right, under gen. Bülcher, finding the enemy at Moureaux in much greater numbers than had been expected, was under the necessity of relinquishing its attack, and of retreating to its former position at Warcoing.
Lieutenant General Otto proceeded with his column through Leers to Waterloo, from whence after some resistance, he drove the enemy, and pushed on to Tourcoing. My column consisted of seven battalions of British, five of Austrians, and two of Hessians, with six squadrons of light dragoons, and four of Hussars. We moved forward from Templeuve to Lannoy, which we forced the enemy to evacuate, after a short cannonade, in which I had the misfortune to lose Major Wright, of the royal artillery, a brave and deserving officer.
Having left the two Hessian battalions at Lannoy, I proceeded to Roubaix, where we found the enemy in great strength both of men and cannon. The resistance was proportionably stronger, but equally unavailing, as the enemy soon found themselves obliged to retire, which they did towards Moureaux.
Having at this time no intelligence of the two columns on my right and left, not withstanding I had made every effort to obtain it, I did not think it prudent to advance any further, but was resolved to have left my advanced guard under the command of lieutenant general Abercromby at Roubaix, and, with the remainder of my corps, to have taken a position on the heights behind Lannoy. The orders for this purpose were given, but having acquainted his Imperial majesty, who had advanced to Lannoy, with my intention, and the necessity of co-operating with general Clairfayt induced his majesty to direct that I should proceed to the attack of Moureaux.
I accordingly directed the attack to be made by lieutenant general Abercromby with the four battalions of guards. He found the enemy strongly intrenched, but having cannonaded it for some time, the good countenance of the flank battalion of guards, who advanced to storm it with the utmost order, supported by the first battalion, and seconded by the 7th and 15th light dragoons, under lieut. col. Churchill, compelled the enemy to retire, with the loss of three pieces of cannon and a considerable number of men, who were cut down by the light dragoons in the pursuit, which was continued as far as Boulers.
Upon maturely considering the nature of our situation, I directed Lieut. Gen. Abercromby to remain at Moureaux with the four battalions of the guards; and having posted 4 Austrian battalions to cover Roubaix, I detached the second brigade of British Infantry, under the command of Major-General Fox, to take post on my left, on the great road leading from Lille to Roubaix. The cavalry was divided with these several corps, for the purpose of patrolling, the nature of the country not admitting of their being of any other use. My advanced posts communicated with those of General Otto, on my right, who I now found had got possession of Tourcoing.
Early the next morning the enemy attacked the post of Tourcoing in great force, and I received an application from Colonel Devay, who commanded there, to make a diversion in his favor; for which purpose I sent two battalions of Austrians, giving them express directions, if they should be pressed, to fall back upon me, but by some mistake instead of doing so, they joined Col. Devay. From this circumstance, an opening was left on my right, of which the enemy availed himself in the attack upon my corps, which took place soon after, and, by so doing, obliged me to employ the only battalion I had left, to secure a point which was of the utmost importance to us.
At this period a very considerable column of the enemy, which we have since learnt amounted to 15,000 men, appeared advancing from Lille, whilst another corps having forced its way through General Otto's position by Waterloo, attacked us on the rear. The few troops that remained with me, soon gave way before such superior numbers, nor was it in my power, with every effort I could use, assisted by those of the officers who were about
me, to rally them. At that moment the advanced parties of the column from Lille showed themselves also upon the road between Roubaix and Moureaux, and I found it impossible to succeed in the attempt which I made to join the brigade of guards.
Thus circumstanced, I turned my attention to join General Fox's brigade, but, upon proceeding to Roubaix for that purpose, I found it in the possession of the enemy.
Thus completely cut off from every part of my corps, nothing remained for me to do, but to force my way to that of General Otto, and to concert measures with him to free my own troops.
This I effected, accompanied by a few dragoons of the 16th regiment, with great difficulty; but the project of marching upon Lannoy, to which General Otto had consented, as a measure which would greatly facilitate the retreat of my corps, being given up, upon finding that the Hessians had been obliged to abandon that place, I found myself under the painful necessity of continuing with General Otto's column the remainder of the day.
Previous to this, I had sent orders to General Abercromby to retire from Moureaux to the heights behind Roubaix, where it was my intention to have assembled my corps; and the Coldstream battalion had been posted to cover the communication till he effected his retreat. In consequence of these directions, General Abercromby began his retreat, and on his arrival upon the heights at Roubaix finding himself surrounded on all sides without a possibility of assembling the corps, he determined to continue it to Lannoy. This he effected amidst the repeated attacks of the enemy, who poured upon him from all parts. General Abercromby found Lannoy also in possession of the enemy, but he marched round it under a very heavy fire, and soon after reached Templeuve.
Major-General Fox, after sustaining, with great resolution, a very vigorous attack from the principal part of the column which came from Lille, began his retreat also, and finding himself cut off from the brigade of guards, and Lannoy occupied by the enemy, he directed his march upon the village of Leers, at which place he joined the column of Lieutenant-General Otto.
I enclose you a return of our loss upon this occasion. I regret that it is so great; but when the nature of the action is considered, and that it was conducted in a country the most favorable to the views of the enemy, that they could have wished for, while their perfect knowledge of these parts enabled them to take every advantage of it, it might have been expected to have been still more considerable. From the badness of the roads, the loss of the horses, and the timidity of the drivers, the leaving a part of our artillery became inevitable.
I am to desire that you will assure his Majesty that the officers and men showed all the firmness and resolution on this occasion that could be expected from them; and it would be an injustice done to the rest to distinguish any particular corps. The abilities and coolness with which Lieutenant-General Abercromby, and Major-General Fox conducted their corps under these trying circumstances, require, however, that I should particularly notice them.
It is a peculiar consolation to me that the column under my command executed to the full extent their intended part of the operation, and that in the check which they afterwards sustained, the conduct of the British troops has entitled them to the warmest expressions of gratitude and admiration on the part of his Imperial Majesty.
I am, &c. FREDERICK.
Right Hon. Henry Dundas, &c.

Our letters from Rennes state, that in Brittany a new plot had been discovered, through the imprudence of one of the Quarter-Masters of the battalions, who had formerly been one of the agents of the conspiracy at Roverie. The report of the chiefs of the Insurgents was at the village of Geveze four leagues from Rennes, where they had contrived to elude every search. Among them were the ci-devant Marquis de Brissac, and La Roche Jacquelin, who had been so often reported to have been killed.
We have an account from Perpignan, that General Ramel has been guillotined there.
We are informed in our letters from Nantz, that General Cambray has surrounded and entirely cut to pieces 600 rebels, in the territory between the Maine and La Sèvre-St-Eustache in Poitou. In that district a considerable number of cattle have been collected, and sent off to Nantz. The insurgents have evacuated Montagne; and unable to stand out against the Republicans, being entirely unprovided with arms, ammunition and artillery, they had merely endeavoured to harrys them, and intercept their supplies. Such measures had been taken, as could not fail to end in their entire extermination.
Our advices from Toulon state, that we shall shortly have in the Mediterranean 17 ships of the line, and as many frigates, that 15 vessels laden with corn, and provisions of other species, had just arrived there under convoy of the Duquesne in spite of two English men of war, by which they had been chased; and that to maintain tranquility there, a guillotine had been erected, and that several traitors of both sexes were daily executed.
LONDON, May 13.
America, as well as Sweden and Denmark, arms for the protection of its neutrality, equally violated, according to the interpretation it gives to the Maritime Code, by all the parties in the European war. All these States will be governed by events, and they will seriously oppose no Powers but the unsuccessful.
Our acquisitions in the West-Indies are not more distinguishable in the flag
which streams over so many fortresses and islands, than in our own manufacturing and sea port towns. At Liverpool there never were at any period of time so many ships fitting out for the profitable but unhappy traffic which we carry on with the Coast of Africa; the merchant seems to entertain no apprehension of its being abolished by Parliament, and the Bill, now pending in the House of Lords is exactly in that state of uncertainty most favorable to speculation. The trade of Manchester has experienced a very favourable change in the course of the last fortnight. The demand for what in the technical language of the place are called light goods (mouselins, dimities, &c.) seems naturally to result from the new market opened to our consumptions in the warm climates of the West-Indies: That for such as are called heavy (thicksets, velvets, &c.) which is equal with the other, is not easily accounted for, and if possible created by mere speculation, which is the more probable, as the foreign markets are already stocked with these manufactures. In either case the manufacturer has returned his capital, and the advantage of it is visible in the countenance of the workmen, not one of whom remains unemployed.
After the affairs of the French, those of Poland present the most interesting spectacle to the politics and feelings of Europe. Enveloped as they are in the cloud of distance, and the lies of Party, we can discover an honest unsophisticated people, oppressed by strangers, and a virtuous but unhappy prince struggling in some toils, lost to his age and useless to his nation. Poland, so long the victim of Foreign politics and venal elections, and protected only by the common jealousy of neighboring states, become the easy prey of treaties and partitions; but at length instead of intriguing and negotiating, we behold the Russian Ambassador give the law at Warsaw, himself a soldier, and an army in his suite.—Prussia, which had sometimes been temperate from fear, and just from jealousy, threw off the mask; and avowed that it would divide, not defend the territories of its Ally; an Ally, whom it had long deterred and intimidated from deprecating the vengeance of Russia, and securing the friendship of that turbulent court by concessions equal to its rapacity and ambition. The House of Austria, entangled and embarrassed in a distant and sanguinary war, was content to look on with a full neutrality; or to stipulate a reversion and contingency in the price of so much violence and iniquity; perhaps too, it looked for a balance of aggrandizement in the acquisitions of provinces which had long been severed from another frontier of the empire by the victorious arms of Louis the fourteenth. These views must naturally be involved in impenetrable mystery, till events themselves shall chace the cloud from before us; Poland, however remained without a friend, a protector, or an ally; her bitter fortune threw her in the midst of enemies, who are those of one another when they are not her's, and who know no bound of peace, no interruption of hostility, but while they plot her ruin; or consummate the crimes of which she is the victim. Does the Court of Vienna regret Silesia, or part for the reunion of Lorraine and Alsace? the balance is to be preserved in the Germanic body, by indemnifying the King of Prussia with the spoils of Poland. Does Prussia covet the maritime towns of Poland? the Empress must have an equivalent in the interior provinces of Poland. Poland pays every crime, and feeds the insatiable maw of avarice, envy, and ambition—"Indemnify yourself in Poland" is the spirit of every treaty, and the virtue of every imagination.

NEW-YORK, July 7.
Friday last, the 4th inst, Captain Montaigne's company of Light-Infantry dined at Mr. Hatton's. After dinner a number of patriotic toasts were drank, and the day spent with mirth and conviviality.
The succeeding ODE, written by Mrs. ANN JULIA HATTON, & addressed to the company, was read by one of the members, accompanied by repeated bursts of applause.
ODE
for the Fourth of July, 1794.
In early times, ere luxury had birth, Rough INDEPENDENCE rul'd the happy earth;
His sons a hardy race, innu'd to toil, With nervous arm plough'd up the stubborn soil:
Beneath their sturdy labors soon was seen
The barren desert cloth'd with cheerful green:
Bent was the oak, the quarry's depth explor'd,
And art and science beam'd upon the world.
Then, great in peace, no wild ambitious dream,
No thirst of empire bid man's bosom stream;
In virtuous quiet pass'd their days away, Bright and unspotted as the noontide ray;
But soon refinement stole upon the world,
And through each breast her baneful poison hurl'd.
Then rage to rule, insatiate love of gold,
For which the lives of millions oft were sold,
Fill'd every breast; war's desolating train,
In terrible array, spread o'er the plain;
Her iron scourge then proud oppression wav'd,
And tyrant man each finer feeling brav'd;
Relentless to the suffer's piteous moan,
Through blood and horror waded to a throne.
Then wide her wings affrighted virtue spread,
To happier climes with Independence fled:
On this blest soil they fix'd their sacred seat;
Here found from mad-mis-rule a safe retreat;
Here rais'd the awful fan of Liberty,
And rooted firm fair Freedom's deathless Tree.
Immortal powers! whose cheering smiles impart
The best emotions to the human heart;
COLUMBIA'S SONS with fav'ring influence blesse, And on their souls your fervors deep impregn'd— While war's dread voice sounds o'er the Western Main, And nations struggle with oppression's chain, Firm and undaunted still the heroes stand, Fix'd or to die or free maintain their land.
O INDEPENDENCE! on this glorious day Dart full and strong thy renovating ray— Pour on each bosom thy resistless fire, Nerve ev'ry arm, and every soul inspire— That while the swelling sounds of joy proclaim THIS DAY, the greatest on the page of fame, Columbia's sons, knit in one social band, May favour protection to this hallow'd land; Firm to support her sacred rights appear, And bid blest Freedom ever flourish here.
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 11.
The expectation of the public had been raised to the highest pitch by the bills announcing the tragedy of Cymeline, for the benefit of Mrs. De Marque and Mr. Blisset—the name of Mrs. Whitlock against the character of Imogin, was sufficient to ensure a full house—great was the disappointment when they found the intended piece was deferred. The exertions of Mrs. De Marque to merit the favors of the public, deserved a reward—the entertainments were adapted to please, and her excellence in dancing cannot be disputed—with regret therefore the smallness of the company, assembled the last night at the theatre, was contemplated—however it is hoped the lady will favor us with a concert, as Mr. De Marque is an excellent musician, and there is every reason to hope she will receive a substantial proof of the liberality of an American audience.
The following contains a THIRD opinion, on the character of Danton, published in the General Advertiser.
We have already stated that, as far as we could collect from the Paris Papers, the execution of Danton appeared to be rather the act of his rivals for power, than the consequence of any plot on his part to subvert the Republic. Some of the French Emigrants in this country are of a different opinion. They represent him as the leader of a party for restoring Royalty; lament his death as the greatest misfortune that has befallen their cause since the beheading of Louis XVI. and hint that the assassination of Robespierre would be of more importance than subsidizing the King of Prussia. On such points we are ready to admit that their information must be better than our's.
Died at Watertown, Massachusetts, on Monday the 30th June, Master JOHN BINNEY aged 10—son of the late Dr. BARNABAS BINNEY, of this City.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO, In the General Advertiser of yesterday, among the Toasts given at the meeting of Captain Barker's regiment on the 4th instant, I was surprised to meet with the following: "The opponents of an American Excise—may their opinions and measures become the contempt of Freemen." As, from the complexion of the rest, it is impossible this sentiment could have been intended.
Whether this was the mistake of the person who formed the toasts for the occasion, or merely an error of the press, it is impossible for me to determine; but if owing to the latter, surely he may say to the Printer as Balak said to Balam, "I took thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou hast blessed them altogether."
Yours, &c. A FEDERALIST. Philadelphia, July 9th, 1794.
By this Day's Mail.
BOSTON, July 5. Anniversary of Independence.
Yesterday commenced the nineteenth anniversary of American Independence. On such an occasion the citizens of the United States could not restrain the impulses of festivity and joy which animated their breasts. From the accounts received of preparation, we are convinced
that the celebration of the day has been commensurate with the continent. In this town, ever foremost in displays of patriotism, the anniversary was noticed with becoming solemnity. At 12 o'clock, an oration was delivered at the Old Brick Meeting-House, by John Phillips, Esq. in which with a recurrence to first principles, were connected those maxims, which, if followed, will ensure to the United States, union, tranquility and happiness. The supreme executive, with various other officers attended this oration, and were escorted from the Council-Chamber by the Independent Cadets, commanded by Col. Bradford.
Capt. Bradler announced the dawn, the zenith, and the close of the auspicious day, in various parts of the town, with federal discharges from his artillery. And was accompanied therein by the patriotic citizens of Liberty-Square.
Several companies of the first regiment paraded in honor of the day; and the society of Cincinnati held their fraternal anniversary, at Concert-Hall.
In short, every description of citizens, were emulous to give an eclat to the day, worthy of those who have experienced the blessings attendant on the memorable Declaration, which the sages of America pronounced on the 4th of July, 1776, which ascertaining the sacred Rights of Man—with the rapidity of lightning is extending, and will extend its influence throughout every acre of the habitable world.
From London—May 8.
[Communicated in a letter.]
"I left Amsterdam on the 22d, ult. and arrived at Ostend, on the 26th in the evening. The French are encamped four miles from Nieuport, which is only nine miles distant from Ostend. It was reported they were in possession of Bruges, which I had just passed through and that they were coming on towards Ostend, with speed. A report had also spread, that Gen. Clairfayt, of the combined forces, had met with a terrible defeat, 5000 men were said to have been killed—also that he had been unable to rally the remainder of his army, which before the battle consisted of 30,000 men. The French say their former war in Flanders was to give the people an opportunity of gaining their liberty—they rejected the opportunity, and are not worthy of the cause; and as Flanders is the seat of the war, and a shelter to the combined forces, they will plunder and destroy every town they enter, belonging to it. A small village was burnt by the French, called Furnes, ten miles distant from Ostend, the evening I arrived there; thirteen villages were also on fire at once, and burnt to the ground, near Landrecies, at which time the French suffered a heavy loss of men and artillery."
"Give me leave to felicitate you from my heart, in your being a resident and citizen of a land of freedom, and among perhaps the only people who enjoy their liberty on the globe, at present. I have been through several of the United Provinces, but find no where the freedom we enjoy in America. I have travelled through a part of Germany, Prussia, and Flanders, where despotism and priesthood reign triumphant; misery and poverty are the consequences."
WORCESTER, July 3.
On Tuesday, last week, the following unfortunate accident happened, at the paper-mill in this town. The workmen had been pressing a post of paper. The screw of the press, which was new, when it was released, did not, as usual, immediately rise. One of the workmen, Mr. Micah Haven, took a hankspike to start it back: the moment he applied the handspike to the screw, it is supposed, it rose of itself, and with such velocity as to cause the handspike to make a large dent in the side of the press, and rebounding, struck Mr. Haven in the side of the head, and broke his skull, several pieces of which were extracted. He lived until Thursday evening, and then expired. We hope this melancholy event will be a warning to paper-makers to be careful.
NEWBURYPORT, July 5.
Yesterday arrived at this harbour, Schooner Retrieve, Daniel Jackson, master, 21 days from Leogan, who informs that on the 18th June the forts at Port-au-Prince were stormed by the English and taken—that the Brigands under Sonthonax had marched to Jacmel—that the English fleet, consisting of two 74's, one 64, one 50 gun ship, and 5 or 6 frigates, were preparing to attack Jacmel or Petit Guave, for one of which places they were to sail about the 25th ult. most probably the former, as it contained the greatest number of troops.—Capt. Jackson passed 4 vessels
from the southern States, entering Leogan, with flour, which at his departure was 25 dollars a barrel—Other provisions were not so much wanted as to enhance the price materially.
CHRISTIANSTÆD, (in St. Croix) June 18.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman, dated Anguilla, June 15.
"I suppose you have heard of the attack the French made on Guadalupe, since the capture of it by the English—If not, these are the particulars: They landed 1500 men at Point-Petre, which was guarded but by 40 British who repulsed them three different times; but they came on the fourth time, and carried it—when there was but one man remaining in the garrison, who gave three huzzas, and told them he was ready to die, after doing his country justice, and they immediately put him to death. The French have acted very cruelly at that place by putting to death defenceless men, women, and children, (which is a verbal report): Admiral Jervis, who was at St. Kitts's, on receiving the news, immediately sailed for Guadalupe, and has properly hemmed in the French fleet; the troops were on their march from other parts of the island to attack them; and it is supposed they are completely defeated by this."
"P. S. Since writing the above, we have received certain accounts, that Admiral Jervis has taken the whole French fleet at Guadalupe, consisting of five frigates. The whole of the French troops are also destroyed."
PITTSBURGH, July 5.
Saturday afternoon last, Capt. Heath, with a detachment of men, marched from this place for Fort Franklin, to reinforce and take the command of that garrison.
For these some days past a report has been in general circulation, that an express from Fort Washington had been seen on his way to Philadelphia, who informed, that the Indians had surrounded Gen. Wayne's army.—We are happy in having it in our power to contradict this report, as a person immediately from Fort-Washington says, that the army is still at Greenville, and that the road between Fort-Washington and that place is now travelled with greater security than at any former period.
PHILADELPHIA.
From the general tenor of the Duke of York's dispatches, it evidently appears, that on the 17th May there was a general attack on the French lines by the combined armies under the command of the Emperor of Germany—that this attack was unsuccessful—the French not only repulsing the allies, but in many instances cutting off their retreat and making a great slaughter of them—the Duke of York's letter details only the loss sustained by the British troops in his column, which did not probably consist of more than one-fifth of the whole number—the loss sustained by the Austrians, Hessians, &c. of this and the other columns must have been prodigious.
From every apparent circumstance, it is highly probable that the business terminated in a general rout of the whole combined army.
The French army under General Pichegru, in this battle is stated to have amounted to ninety thousand men.
Affairs in England on the 24th May, appear to have been in a very critical situation—Numbers of persons were taken up and committed, some to the Tower, others to the King's Bench Prison.—The Habeas Corpus was suspended by act of Parliament—Two protests were entered against the measure on the Journals of the House of Lords—One, signed by eight Noblemen, among whom are the Dukes of Norfolk, Grafton, Bedford, Marquis Lansdowne, Lord Lauderdale, &c. these protested against the suspension, as the circumstances of the country in their opinion did not render it necessary—the other protest, was made by Lord Stanhope—on the ground that the bill, put it in the power of the ministers, to introduce Letters de Cachet into England.
Reinforcements of all the cavalry that could be spared, were ordered to be embarked for the Continent, to supply the severe losses recently sustained.
There is an account, but it is by way of report only, that two days after the defeat of the Duke of York, General Clairfayt attacked the French near Courtray, killed two thousand, and took 25 pieces of cannon.
It is to be remarked that the fate of Gen. Clairfayt and his division of the army in the previous action is not mentioned in the Duke of York's letter.
For any particular facts in the above sketch, which have not heretofore appeared, we are indebted to Mr. Dunlap, who politely shewed the Editor several parts of the London paper in the hands of his Compositors.
PORT OF PHILADELPHIA.
CLEARED.
Ship John Bulkeley, Wharton, Spain Schr. Sally & Polly, Cellon, Charleston
Sloop Dove, Wyatt, Fort Dauphin
The Concorde frigate, the Partridge of 26 guns, and the Lascasses of 18, failed from New-York on Friday last, and arrived in Delaware bay on Sunday evening.
Captain Gordon, of the brig Trial, 63 days from Ferrol, informs, that off the Western Isles, on the 26th of May, he fell in with the French fleet from the Chesapeake, and was brought too by one of the frigates, from which he received a sailor in lieu of a Frenchman. The ships of war were in a sickly condition, which was imputed to bad water on board the fleet. They had taken many prizes on the passage; the Ambuscade had a large Jamaica ship in tow.
Capt. Gordon likewise informs, that the French fleet had taken the transports from Martinique with the prisoners bound to France.
Arrivals at New-York.
Ship Josephus, Hewitt, Faulkland Islands
Snow Columbia, Cole, Marblehead
On the 6th July, the Josephus spoke the Ship General Washington, out 5 weeks from Londonderry, with 450 passengers bound to the Delaware.
The late victory of the French over the allied armies will probably be productive of peace in Europe, an event most ardently desired by every friend to human happiness.

Whereas James M'Gargle
of Cheltenham Township in Montgomery County in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by his Bill exhibited to the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the said County, set forth that sundry Title deeds by which he holds a certain Messuage & sixty-four acres of Land in the said Township, were greatly injured and defaced by accident; and prayed that examination of witnesses might be taken in order, that their testimony of his title to the said Farm should be perpetuated, Whereupon, on motion of William M. Smith, Esquire, of Counsel for the said James M'Gargle, it was considered by the said Judges in the said Court, that the prayer of the said Bill of right ought to be granted, and George Campbell and John Donaldson, Esquires, were appointed Commissioners to take the said examination, to whom a Commission under form of Law hath been issued.

It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.  The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.  The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He
requests a continuance of their kindness, and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.  The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage. waft

A New Novel. To the Ladies of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, fewed in marbled paper, half a dollar.  Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Pique de Chambre, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character. 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 the over, and treachery of his friend. The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions 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.

Richard Johns } In the Chancery Court of the John Wells and } State of Maryland, Mordecai Cole. } May 26th 1794.
The Complainant hath filed his bill, for the purpose of obtaining a decree, to vest in him a complete legal title to two tracts of land, lying in Baltimore county, one called Painters-Levels, containing 100 acres, the other called Prospect contai 135 acres. He states, that the said John Wells on the 16th day of March 1774 contracted to sell the said land to the said Mordecai Cole, & executed to him a bond for conveyance, that the said Cole, on the same day, executed to the said Wells a bond for the payment of the purchase money amounting to £675 Pennsylvania currency, that the said Cole hath since discharged the whole of the purchase money, and hath assigned to the complainant the said bond for conveyance; that the said Wells hath never executed a deed, agreeably to his contract but hath removed out of the state of Maryland, and now resides in the state of Kentucky.  It is thereupon, and at the request of the complainant, adjudged, and ordered, that he procure a copy of this order to be inserted at least six weeks successively, before the first day of August next, in the United States Gazette at Philadelphia, to the intent, that the said John Wells may have notice of the complainant's application to this court, and may be warned to appear here, on or before the first Tuesday in October next, to show cause wherefore this court should not proceed to decree, agreeably to the prayer of the complainant, and to the act of assembly, for such cases made and provided.

Just Published, In one handsome volume, 12mo. Price 55 AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chestnut Street,  AN ESSAY ON THE  Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by  WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. CICERO.
The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and permanent security. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the influence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

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