From the New-York Journal, &c.
From the CORRESPONDING COMMITTEE of the DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY of the state of Pennsylvania, to the Committee of Correspondence, of the Democratic Society of the city of New-York.
CITIZENS,
THERE is a crisis in our affairs so mingled with circumstances flattering and insidious, that it demands all the attention, energy, and union of the Democratic Society. The attempt to prostrate the freedom of speech at the feet of government, has been happily frustrated; and the abettors of a project so daring, and so hostile to every principle of freedom, have involved themselves in the contempt prepared by them for democratic societies.
The public mind sympathies more with political associations at this moment, than at any period since their formation; and if this feeling is but properly improved, much good may be the result. Already have some of the high-toned deputies experienced the indignation of an insulted, an injured people; and if the characters of others were as fully dilated, the democratic triumph would be complete.
If the avenues of information were as open to us as to those in opposition to us, the people would be made sensible of their wrongs, and be speedy in their redress: But the channels of intelligence are too generally directed by the government; and too many of the printers, instead of being the mirrors of the public sentiment, are the creatures and eulogists of administration.
While we indulge in the pleasing anticipation of a change in the next Congress favorable to the genuine principles of freedom, our prospects suddenly darken by the permanent systems establishing at present. The excise, that horror of all free governments, that nursery of ministerial warriors, that tomb of liberty, is extending its roots in the vitals of our country; and, from its permanency, augurs clouds and darkness. Freedom never can be secure while this baneful spectre is permitted to haunt our land: To chase it away should be among the first objects of democratic societies.
We with not pass a hasty judgment upon public transactions, neither do we mean to pass sentence upon governmental measures which are not fully disclosed: but the treaty, said to have been concluded between Great-Britain and the United States, is of too high importance not to call for our attention. Should our commerce, our western posts, and our national honor, be the price of a commercial treaty, we should abandon the stake we have in the government to be silent.
Although every mind interested in the welfare of our country feels a degree of agitation on this important subject, and is more or less disposed to decide from the information we have received, we will suspend any opinion until the treaty itself is before us; and if it contains principles in hostility with our interests and our rights, we trust the democratic societies will have but one sentiment on the subject.
We invite you, citizens, to counsel freely with us; to unite in a common cause; and to give the aid which that common cause requires. We will receive your counsel, as fellow-citizens having but the general good in view; your union, as friends having the public happiness as our object; and your aid, as brethren having the good of the great family of our country as the end of our solicitude.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. EDITOR,
BEING informed that the democrats are about to elect a Poet Laureate to their society, I beg leave to present, through your paper, a Probationary, Analytical, Critical performance of mine, which I think will completely distance any thing my rival candidates have yet offered in hopes to carry this palm.—Sam. Sweetbrier and Snub are the only rivals I have yet heard of:—the former has, to be sure, a romantic name, but as he deals in punning only, I have little to fear from him.—The name of the other is enough to damn him—it is absolutely anti poetical: What will this pitiful monosyllable rhyme to?
Why, Snub Will rhyme to Cub; And I will Grub A Cudgel to Drub, With a rub a dub dub, Upon his empty pate, if he dares dis-
pute any longer my just pretensions to the Laureateship.
PETER SHORT METRE.
PETER SHORT METRE'S Probationary, Analytical & Critical O D E.
"The Pennsylvania democrats At stated general meetings, Thus Hail! their brethren of New York, In kind affection greeting—"
CITIZENS!
"There is a crisis in our great affairs Mingled with flattering insidious cares
"Demanding energy and union strong, As tossed before the wind—"
I stop here to advise all meddling aristocratic critics not to sneer at or even to touch this Apt figure, lest it may one day or another become their line of introduction to an exalted post.
"Attempts are made to cramp the power Of speech; And tumble freedom on her battered breech.
The word battered is happily applied in consequence of the many kicks and buffets the poor Goddess has frequently received from tyrants of every description.
"The public mind now taught to sympathize, Shall soon delight in democratic lies.
It must be observed, in order to prevent mistakes, that the word lies should be received ironically, as it is used merely to mock the aristocratical cant of the day.
In the text the idea is affixed to the present tense; the public mind is there said to sympathize already; that they will soon do this and more, no one can doubt, but as I hate quibbling, I have uniformly preferred the fact to the text, wherever the choice is not momentous.
I find it almost impossible to embellish the following original and truly poetical vision, viz.
"See high toned miscreants with indignant air,
"In triumph dragg'd at Democratic Car.
Yet here it was necessary to change deputies to miscreants to avoid the Bathos.
"Should yawning portals ope to us as wide,
"We'd pour out clamour in a copious tide;
"But while alas! the printers are intent
"On order vile, the chain of government
"How can the People take from us the bent?
Very justly observed indeed, and much to be lamented by all true Democrats. The following idea must not escape our notice, viz.
"Ware we for a moment to abstract ourselves
This Idea will certainly be carped at because the aristocrats contend that all true Jacobins are either abstracted, or distracted from social principles—and indeed from themselves if they ever were sane and honest men.
"Germanicus a half fledg'd wight, In hopes to lead us on to write, Turn'd out, but such a puny lamb We cannot scent on mazy path.
Here first, the game is feathered or half fledg'd, and then it is either a fox or a hare—too neat and cleanly to be scented—this metamorphosis of metaphor is rather too sudden to be agreeably received.
The next paragraph begins thus,
"While we indulge a pleasing hope for change,
"A Novel Congress shall delight to range;
"On theoretic wings sublimely soar
"And fam'd Laputa's lofty walls explore
"Then fall like Phaeton to rise no more
"Sic transit gloria mundi—pas encore.
My climax has something of novelty in it, but who can bear either in government or poetry an eternal round & the same thing repeated over and over again, a true Jacobin should prefer perpetual revolutions to any fixed prospect; for however well imagined the picture may appear, want of novelty is to be positively sans everything in the opinion of every Democrat.
Now read again—
"Lo! permanency now in state appears, Portending shades to fill the soul with fears.
By the text, permanency is made to frighten us, by auguring clouds—and I hope no one will ever undertake to remove the delightful cloud which ought ever to envelope this happy passage.—Again—
"Avant Excise! dread spectre, flee away!
"Or Bradford soon shall chill thee with dismay
"Why do I rave, alas! he's off they say
"And Democrats shall ever rue the day.
There is a certain state of mind wherein the vocal expressions give way to those of gesture and feature; this must account for the insipidity of the last
lines, while they drew precious tears from the writer.
The modest lenity, in not proceeding immediately to the condemnation of Congress, who in the address, are happily enough conceived to be prisoners at the bar, and to be judged by those who one minute before complain of their want of power, are charming poetical transitions indeed, viz.
"No sentence will we pass on government,
"Until we know the very full extent,
"Of treaties made by Justice Jay and sent
"To us from George or British Parliament;
"To damn is all in toto—
"Then now, do hear our motto
"No peace by us shall ere with kings be made,
"Huzza! aloud for War! and echo I who's afraid?
PETER SHORT METRE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Report and Project of a Decree, presented in Nivose, [the latter end of December] by Johannot, in the name of the Committees of Public Safety, General Security, Legislation, Commerce and Finances:
ON THE MEANS OF RESTORING THE FINANCES AND PUBLIC CREDIT.
Received by the Maria and translated for the Aurora.
(Continued from our last.)
It is from the errors we have just mentioned that all the laws destructive of commerce and industry which so rapidly followed each other, originated. This most narrow and mistaken policy appeared to view France as a country absolutely insulated: each decree of this kind was ultimately a prohibition against supplying it with provisions at a time when the scarcity of every thing was felt, and was calculated to lead us to the lowest state of misery and want.
If our commerce had not been cut up by impolitic regulations, if it had been left to itself, if the most innocent speculations had not become crimes in the eyes of ignorance, the activity of the merchants would have supplied France with provisions, notwithstanding the impediments of war, as they have done more than once. But the government took the place of the merchants, and from that time, by destroying the industry of private citizens, they destroyed their own riches, and found themselves incapable of recovering them.
The government could but use violent means. All these articles that could be offered to foreigners in exchange were consumed one after another; our money, our wines, the personal property of the emigrants, all disappeared to pay for indispensable articles of provision.
Wanting money, and articles of exportation, our merchants deprived of credit, which is yet paid by the sequestration of the property of foreigners, what have we yet to offer to our neighbours? Our paper money, which will have a value so far only as they think us worthy of confidence.—The present posture of our affairs may have been calculated upon by the combined powers. They have conceived that our victories would exhaust us: to pass off their defeats they say that they have postponed their vengeance to this day.
Their criminal hopes shall be disappointed. Let us shew them, that the immensity of the resources which still remain to us, allow France not to lay down their arms 'till she is willing to dictate a peace.
Do you wish to multiply your resources, encourage by every means your commerce; it alone can feed them and increase them. The plain protection we ought to grant it, is the immediate repeal of the duties on the importation of those articles of which we feel the present want. Decree this repeal on those merchandizes, a list of which your commercial committee shall present you.
Permit only to remain a light tax, with the view of causing the entry of those articles at the Custom House, that you may, by that means be able annually to draw up an exact account of your importations. This account is necessary to make known to you the situation of the balance of trade.
Let your committee add to their list an account of those articles the importation of which shall remain provisionally prohibited.
Let the importations and exportations be free, and let all conditions which have so long rendered commercial exchanges impossible be suppressed.
Let the government send throughout the departments persons of experience in the working of mines, to accelerate
the means of extracting from them important riches.
Let well informed commissioners visit the manufacturing districts and communes, to give to them all the activity necessary to public prosperity.
Art has, by doing wonders, stored France with muskets, cannon, powder, and salt-petre; give now a proper direction to that art, that it may produce with equal rapidity, articles of exchange.
There is especially a powerful one, of which we ought not to deprive ourselves any longer. Cause the precious metals to circulate; reflect, that while they remain buried they are of no public utility, and that we can experience famine while we have treasures in our vaults.
Let the gold leave those recesses of avarice or fear: There it serves only for the speculation of villains, and leaves them only gradually by means of their crimes.
The raw materials constitute the real wealth of nations; those which possess them in the greatest abundance are wealthier than those which have nothing but gold.
With the creative genius which characterizes the French nation, we can rely upon rendering other nations tributary to our industry.
Decree that cash may be exported: One precaution only is necessary; require security for the importation of articles of first necessity in exchange and to the amount of the money exported. Your Committee of Public Safety, of Finances and Commerce will present to you the means of preventing abuses.
You should also acquiesce in the wish of all the commercial cities and of all the friends of justice and principles, by repealing the decree that sequestrates the goods of foreigners. By this decree you chain the merchants, at the time when you invite them to act: You break private contracts, at the time you wish to revive a commerce which rests only upon private contracts.
The period is arrived no longer to conceal truths. There is an important truth, that should be told; it is, that no power on earth has the right to prescribe to probity what strikes it as unjust. The conscience of a man of probity is a sanctuary which even the legislature cannot reach. Woe be to the government which should dare to violate it, punishment would soon follow the deed; it would find its own ruin in that of the first principles which form the basis of the social contract.
By repealing the decree of sequestration, you will suppress the inquisitorial search established to intercept all correspondencies, and you will restore a free circulation to all objects of commerce.
How should commerce, surrounded by spies and butchers, rise from its ruins?
The navigation act remains to be spoken of: the principles which form the basis of it are found and useful,—they have only been misapplied to our present circumstances. French seamen were wanted, and this motive should be respected. But times of war do not require ordinary measures: let neutral nations, for the present, be even our coasting carriers.
The insurance of a French vessel from Bourdeaux to Havre or any port in the channel is 27 per cent; while that of a neutral vessel is 5 per cent: it is therefore a difference of 22 per cent to the French trade.
Credit will be further strengthened and abundance will be restored by wise regulations with neutral powers, and by the good faith they have a right to expect from us.
There is a nation with whom our connections should be still closer, the American nation. They have set us great examples; they expect from us a fraternal conduct, and yet we have pursued towards them the policy of the perfidious English, their oppressors. They have violated the rights of Nations, by seizing on board of American vessels, the property of their enemies. Don't let us imitate them, let us hasten to decree that the treaty of commerce with the Americans shall be maintained in full force and let it be prohibited to all officers civil and military to infringe it.
If it is important to renew all the ties of concord and confidence with neutral nations, it is not less so to connect all personal interests to that of the Republic, and to multiply the conquests of the revolution internally by making friends.
Far be from us the idea of enacting imprudent or contradictory laws, which would impress the public mind with a retrograde motion:—Patriotism and prudence both found it. But there are general measures which by crushing all criminal or chimeraical hopes will give a great example of justice and will diffuse thro' all classes a love for the Republic.
Such would be the speedy liquidation of debts due the creditors of emigrants and to decree, as was done in the case of the clergy that they are considered as immediate creditors of the state. Calculate all the expenses of administration from which this arrangement would release them. If it is attempted to proceed to the liquidation of the debts of the emigrants according to the present forms what an inconceivable labyrinth shall we be involved in,—what a multiplicity of offices and impediments of all kinds!—What a multitude of men will be interested in delaying the completion of this work and how many more will suffer before it is accomplished? Twelve years will perhaps not see the end of it, and twelve years of discontent and expiation should balance in the eyes of the legislator, a few losses rendered necessary perhaps thro' the rapidity of the operation proposed; But there is a method of securing the interests of the Republic. Such creditors as have prudently confided their property to insolvent persons will not be paid.
A summary inquest should before liquidation determine, the solvency of the debtors at the time when the property was confiscated.
This mode of liquidation is recommended as just and politic. The interest and gratitude of 800,000 creditors whose concerns shall have been settled so promptly and so honourably, will give new vigour to the hatred which ought to pursue the emigrants, and will confirm without recall the perpetual punishment which they have deserved.
Another measure should concur with the last mentioned. The nation should settle with the relations of emigrants the portion which they are to receive from the inheritance: let this measure be grounded on evaluations by arbitrators, according to simple forms, completing the settlement by quick instalments thus you will withdraw a considerable quantity of assignats. Agreeably to this plan the sequestration will be immediately raised and to the families liberty will be restored.
These laws will be truly revolutionary for no others could so effectually consolidate the mortgage of the assignats.
To these great measures some others should be by all means joined, dictated by the same spirit of policy and generosity. Let us soften the rigour of the laws on forfeitures, the petitions you receive admonish the legislator that some of the laws on that subject are perhaps too severe.
Let the republic, generous towards its creditors be indulgent to its debtors, let equivalents be accepted, and thus let the debtors be exonerated with every indulgence that can be allowed them.
[To be Continued.]
December 26.
The committee of public succours proposed to allow the widow of the Farmer General La Borde, sentenced to death by the revolutionary tribunal a provision of 2000 livres. Adopted.
On the proposition of the military committee a decree was passed tending to purge Paris and the departments in its neighborhood of robbers, conspirators and assassins, by augmenting the respective corps of Gend'Armes.
Those of the department of Seine et Marne and Seine et Oise shall be completed and increased by 48 brigades.
The Gend'Armes of Paris shall be reinforced by 288 men.
These newly admitted Gend'Armes shall be mounted and equipped by the nation.
Clauzel obtained liberty of speaking and warned the Convention against what he called the infernal machinations of the survivors of Robespierre who were so often denounced by Lecointre, Legendre by himself and the whole Republic.
The following are the most important charges alledged by Clauzel.
Amar and others had formerly denied having in the least influenced the opinion of the juries in the judgment of Camille Desmoulin and Philippeaux.
However the deputies Duval and David [not David the Robespierist and formerly painter of Louis XVI.] who had been present when that infamous decree extorted from the Convention was delivered, declared that Amar and company had told the juries "there is again something that you like"
When Billaud preached openly the revolt at the Jacobins, his speech Clauzel said, made such an impression on the brain of the Representative Armonville that putting his cap of liberty in his pocket he began to exclaim in the Tuileries "a million of heads will now hardly be sufficient to save our country."
The conspirators held a convention in the street Contrecoipe where they planned the insurrection of the gunsmiths.
It is there those villains received their diplomas; they induced the people of the departments to believe that we meditated and wished a counter revolution; they directed the people of the neighbouring departments to send no provisions to Paris.
These are the means they employ to raise the people against the government.

My affairs your reign is over. You are the master of the whole universe. All France demands your judgment. But where is the family after whose blood you did not thirst? Your crimes are proved. The seven denounced members thought they answered satisfactorily, when they mentioned that they had been proscribed by the revolutionary committee. It was only a mistake of that committee, who believed the party of Robespierre to be stronger than that of Billaud Varennes and company. It is a known fact that the disunion among the Decemvirs took place in the night of the 26th and 27th July when they heard that Robespierre had declared at the Jacobins his will to usurp alone the sovereign power. Clausez conjured the Convention to spare without pity those execrable beings, and asked whether the rigor of the laws ought to be directed against the people alone, and the most horrible crimes of representatives pass unpunished. He concluded with demanding that the three committees should be enjoined to make their report on the denunciations of Lecointre and the reorganization of the revolutionary tribunal to-morrow. The proposition was decreed; but a portion of the Convention took not the least part in the deliberation.
A member proposed the printing of Clausez's speech. [This motion caused a violent agitation in the Convention] Duhem demanded leave to oppose the motion. [From the Tribune—to the tribune, cry some members.] I speak as well hear and don't want to expose myself at the tribune to be overwhelmed with false accusations. He maintained that it was not only unjust to order the decree to be printed but that the Convention should not have permitted Clausez to speak on that subject. Because the denounced members had been in the same circumstances refused the liberty of speaking in their own defence.
24. Because the Committees had already been ordered to make a report on that subject. He complained of the injustice and pretended that it was the design of the faction to massacre the majority of the Convention! As soon as they have immolated the members denounced in a particular manner by Legendre, they will demand the heads of thirty three other deputies already marked out as victims in the pamphlets published by that faction and [murmurs and menaces drowned here the voice of Duhem who grew at last furious and exclaimed.] Thy will you have guillotined me, I have the liberty to speak and you will never be able to frighten me into silence; I shall not renounce the right of a freeman. [Interrupted by murmurs.] Duhem, to insult a member is not to refute his arguments. I maintain that your duty required of you to refuse to hear Clausez again on that subject. As for my own part I have reason to consider him as a poisoner and a calumniator. [Interrupted by murmurs.] You won't permit me to speak; how can I hope justice of passionate enemies, well! I declare, if Clausez does not prove that I entertain a correspondence with a committee of emigrants in Switzerland, as he accused me at the tribune in the face of all France, I shall be forced to punish the calumniator myself; for
Several members. This audacity is intolerable. To the Abbaye. The tumult now became general. Amidst the clamors, Duhem was heard saying "no you shall not assassinate with impunity; you shall not succeed in sacrificing the Republic." A member. I demand that Duhem be excluded for three months, and immediately arrested. Duhem endeavoured to answer; being forced to speak from the tribune, he tried to justify the intention he had expressed to punish the infamous calumniator himself; but he was interrupted by murmurs from one side of the hall. Bentabolle, the President, began the deliberation. One part of the Convention rose to give their assent; the question was about to be decided, when Legendre proposed the order of the day.
Legendre. I was not present at the beginning of the debate, but I heard enough in order to be convinced that the vociferations of Duhem are nothing but bug bears held forth, with an intention to intimidate the assembly with the story that one part of the Convention is in danger of being proscribed. Citizens, I announce to you that the committees occupy themselves only of the three rascals denounced by the whole nation. I demand that the assembly take care not to fall into the snare; that an end be made to those scandalous discussions which serve only the enemies of liberty, by passing to the order of the day.
The Convention continued still in a violent agitation; the President was obliged to cover himself in order to re-establish tranquility. Order being restored, the proposition of Legendre, tho' combated by many, was adopted. The motion for printing Clausez's speech was lost, and the order of the day called for.
Some members still insisted that Duhem ought to be punished, but Bourdon de la Poste demanded that those scandalous scenes should at last cease to disturb the hall of the Convention. How
long, said he, shall the interest of the people be sacrificed to party spirit and personal rancour?—Order was now at once restored. Richard, in the name of the committee of public safety, communicated the official account of the explosion at Landau.
Part of the arsenal blew up on the 20th Dec. at 8 o'clock in the morning. Some houses were damaged, and some citizens lost all they possessed. National magazines were consumed, but what seems the most extraordinary, two powder magazines in the vicinity of the arsenal have been saved.
The representative Ferrand flew immediately to the assistance of the town, and took every measure to repair the damage. The fortifications of Landau are not damaged. 10 citizens were killed and 33 wounded. It is not decided yet whether the explosion was the effect of treason or negligence.
Rhul said that the present commander of the fortress had been denounced by many patriots. Bentabolle accused him also.
The denunciation was referred to the committees, and on the proposition of Dentzel, the Convention appointed a deputy, who is to set out immediately for Landau.
BRESLAW, Dec. 4. Summary account of the latest Polish news, received yesterday from Warsaw.
The ancient constitution is re-established ad interim ; all the ancient Polish troops have been disarmed; all the pikes have been burned, and the iron thereof thrown into the river.
There are but very few Russian troops in the capital, the provisional command of which was given to general Ruxlawden: The king has a guard composed of Poles chosen for that service. Count Suwarrows does not occupy an apartment in the palace, but lodges in a private house, and superintends with a religious exactness the fulfilment of all that has been promised in favour of the inhabitants. Count Ignace Potofsky, who according to some reports was incarcerated, according to others sent in irons to Russia, has sworn fidelity to the ancient constitution, and was permitted without the least obstacle to retire to one of his country seats.
A messenger is expected from Petersburg, who will acquaint us with the fate reserved for Poland. The conjectures on that subject are different, they flatter the wishes of some, excite the fear of many, and prepare the rest to expect the final result with indifference and resignation. On the 22d November the general Wauzewsky, Gedroic, Gieldue, Dombowsky and Nieslowicky, the last partisans of the confederation of Cracow, arrived at Warsaw as prisoners of war.
The Russians cantoned in the environs of Warsaw will soon go into winter quarters. The head quarters of general Suwarrows will be established at Wengrow or Sokolow, 36 miles from Warsaw.
General Derfelden is afterwards to command the division of Warsaw. Lieutenant General Baron de Fersen was honoured with the ribband of St. George, of the second class, and received besides a precious sword and a considerable number of villages, with some hundred peasants in Livonia, as a recompence for the victory he gained near Maciewicz.
Prince Joseph Poniatowski is at Warsaw; the corps he commanded laid down their arms; the Polish soldiers were engaged to enlist in the Prussian army, or to settle in South Prussia.
The former minister of Poland at Petersburg, Mr. Deboli, has daily conferences with the Imperial cabinet.
VIENNA, November 25. It is generally believed that 150,000 recruits will be levied in the hereditary dominions of Austria, in order to reinforce the armies against France. The States of Hungary, always generous, have offered 40,000. The other warlike preparations are proportionate to the augmentation of the troops.
It is confidently asserted that general Clairfayt intends to resign the command in chief of the grand army. General Kinsky was lately reported to be his successor, but now Prince Hohenlohe.
L O N D O N. Dec. 27.
It is an ascertained fact that when Mr. Fagel came to this kingdom, he intimated the resolution which the States General had taken of treating with the French for a separate peace. Two Commissioners were sent to Paris for that purpose. They were well received by the Committee
of Public Safety—but the terms offered by the French were so much beyond the powers vested in the Dutch Commissioners, that they returned to the Hague: the trace concluded, and Pichegru renewed his operations. In this desperate condition the States General have again sent Commissioners to Paris, and the obvious conjecture is, that they have enlarged the powers of these gentlemen, if they have not altogether complied with the terms proposed by the French.
We believe this to be the precise state of things between the Dutch and French.—All the prattle about the latter agreeing to a negotiation on the basis of the statu quo —their readiness to treat with all their enemies—and our acquiescence in the Dutch negotiation, is too contemptible even for the meridian of the Stock Exchange. The meteor glittered but for a moment and burst.
Sir William Miller declared in the house of Commons on Friday, that his reason for voting against the Address to his Majesty's Speech was, that Mr. Pitt had declared that he never would make Peace till Monarchy was re-established in France.—Mr. Pitt immediately replied, that he never had made such a declaration—that there might be circumstances, under which it would be wise to treat with a Republic in France; and that all he meant to avow now was, that, under the present circumstances, it would not be safe or politic for this nation to make Peace with the party now prevailing in France.
UNITED STATES. CHARLESTON, (S.C.) March 11.
Captain Oliver Pendleton of the sloop Hope, has written to his owners in this city, from Bermuda, under the date of the 5th of February last—he informs them that his vessel had been labelled on that day, and he had reason to believe she and her cargo would be condemned, as they make it a practice to condemn all American property coming from French ports; he says there were twelve more American vessels there, all in the same situation.
The following information was given to us by a gentleman who came in Captain Dickinson's packet yesterday, from Savannah:
On the 25th of February last, as the Revenue-Cutter of Georgia was beating in the inlet of St. Simon's, two vessels of war were discovered with British colours flying; soon after one of them fired a shot at the cutter; the Captain of the cutter not wishing to lose time in speaking to them, continued his course—the ship which had before fired, then fired five or six guns more; these not inducing the Captain of the cutter to heave to, the ship huffed up and fired a broad-side; fortunately the shot did not hit the cutter—At this time the ship had got into three fathom water; as it was dangerous for her to stand on further she manned two boats and sent after the cutter, before the boats overtook her, she had got to the port of St. Simon's; there 38 armed men, belonging to the Sphinx sloop of war, Capt. Beresford, took possession of the cutter, and by force carried her to sea; when they had her without the bar they released her.
The reason they gave for attacking an American in the tide-waters of the United States, was, that they took the cutter to be a French privateer. The ship in company with the Sphinx, was a French corvette they had taken.
BOSTON, March 19. Yesterday morning arrived here the fast sailing brig Maria, captain Thomas Smith, in 8 days from Charleston, who informs, that the ship Mercury of this port was stranded on the bar in going out. Arrived there March 6, the brig Mary, of Newburyport, who had been blown off the coast. March 10, lat. 36, long. 74, spoke the ship Apollo of Portsmouth, N. H. forty days from Jamaica, bound to Norfolk.
PHILADELPHIA, March 28. A farmer in Maryland began to reap his wheat on the 16th of June last, (a week sooner than his neighbours) before it was quite ripe:—some of the straw was green, and the grain quite soft. This early wheat was compared with what stood in his field till the 8th of July, and proved to be 4lb. 6oz. heavier a bushel than what stood till July. The country alarmed at this boldness, imagined, and even reported that he lost his barn and the wheat by its moisture occasioning it to take fire: whilst others said it was rotten in the shocks. In fact his wheat was finely cured, and secured without loss, after it had stood some time out in shocks.
Legislature of Pennsylvania. THE Committee of Senate, appointed on the tenth of February, to join a Committee of the House of Representatives, in order to examine into, and report the state of, the Pennsylvania Hospital, REPORT.
That, with a Committee of the House of Representatives, appointed for that purpose, they have visited the Pennsylvania Hospital, and examined the books, accounts, affairs and economy thereof, and
find, there has been an increase of stock since the last year, to the amount of 3841. 9s.; the whole capital, at present, amounting to 19317. 18s. 4d. of which 17450. 10s. 6d. being at interest, or vested in ground-rents, produces an annual income of six per centum; the remaining 1867. 17s. 6d. is the estimated value of ground at present unimproved and unproductive.
It also appears, that 7127. and 8d. has been received from the funds, given to the institution by the act of the eleventh of April, 1793; but it is yet very doubtful, whether the whole sum, contemplated from it, and if it even should, the expense of completing the buildings, in the manner prescribed by that act, agreeably to which the foundations have been laid, and some progress made, will greatly exceed the sum granted, not only because it was originally but two-thirds of the estimated expense, at that time, but by reason of the unexampled rise in the price of labor and materials which has since taken place.
Your committee are fully persuaded, that the affairs of the Hospital are conducted with judgment and economy; but until the additional apartments are completed, the institution can only be partially useful; for the admission has been painfully refused to many who were unfit to remain at large, the Managers are now obliged, in some instances, to confine more than one lunatic in the same apartment, and suffer many of those who are most peaceable to remain in the wards of the sick: measures, so improper and unsafe, that they can only be justified by the present impracticability of adopting any better arrangement.
By this Day's Mail. BALTIMORE, March 25. ARRIVED.
Schooner Cygnet, Furlong, Aux-Cayes; Sloops Nancy, Holden, St. Martins; Sally, Bishop, Jeremie; Ship Bacchus, Robbins, Bermuda.
We are informed, that the brig Tiphone, Capt. Miller, from St. Thomas's, and another brig from Lisbon, were in the river last evening.
Yesterday arrived at this port, the schooner Cygnet, Capt. Furlong, in 26 days from Aux-Cayes, St. Domingo, with a cargo of coffee, cotton and sugar; the property of Messrs. Caton and Lawton. Capt. Furlong experienced a succession of heavy gales of wind off the coast, and saw many vessels laying to. Off the Capes he fell in with Admiral Murray's Squadron, consisting of two double deckers and four frigates, by whom he was chased, and finally boarded from one of the frigates; but after an examination of his papers, he was, with many expressions of politeness, permitted to proceed on his voyage. Capt. Furlong informs us that, previous to his departure, a considerable armament had proceeded against Port-Prince, and that no doubts were entertained of its falling shortly into the possession of the Republican troops. The British forces were much diminished in number at that place, owing to the great mortality which had prevailed in consequence of the climate, and even those remaining alive, were much enfeebled by disease and intemperate living. It was expected therefore, to be an easy conquest. Coffee was at 18 1-2 fous. The market overstocked with provisions, and elarets selling at eight dollars per cask. Several Danish merchants having deeply speculated in dry goods at St. Thomas's, were expected to be ruined, in consequence of finding the market in St. Domingo fully supplied from this country.
Further. Capt. Furlong says, that the whole of the French part of that Island will, undoubtedly, be retaken in the course of the succeeding summer. This expectation is founded on the evident reduced situation of the English forces, whilst the French inured to the climates, are every where in force, and determined to exert every nerve to effect that purpose.

In the sloop Betsey, capt. Brewton, from St. Thomas, four of the people belonging to the private ship of war the Citoyenne Maricelles, captain Chobert, came passengers. They mention the following particulars: That about the 27th of January, after sailing from Cayenne, where their ship put in to refit, they captured, near the island of Barbadoes, the ship Prince of Wales, a Guineaman, belonging to Liverpool, with 450 slaves, and mounting 10 guns. That they were put in possession of the prize, with an officer and 12 others, with orders to carry her into St. Thomas, but in 6 days after, the blacks having broke loose from confinement, attacked and killed one of them, before they could get possession of their five arms and cutlasses, when, after a dreadful conflict, killing about 40 or 50 of the slaves, and wounding a number, they again became masters of the ship, and soon after arrived at St. Thomas. The Prince of Wales is a fine ship, and until her last voyage had been employed as a privateer carrying 24 guns—and when our informants left St. Thomas, she was equipping by order of a French agent, for the service of the republic.

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 safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

TO THE PUBLIC.
This Work is offered to the public at
crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts: A
midst the ravages of war, and the convul-
sions of a revolutionary age, they must inevi-
tably languish and expire, unless the same
happy country, which affords an asylum to
the persons of the persecuted and distressed,
shall foster and patronize the labour and
artistry of men of genius and talents. Advan-
cing, indeed, rapidly to the zenith of power,
reputation and opulence, America, even in
a state of universal tranquility, must soon
have become the rival of Europe in learning
and taste, as well as her superior in morality
and government. Under the present circum-
stances of the world, however, the oppor-
tunity occurs to anticipate the destined
period of pre-eminence; and to render America
in this eventful hour, the guardian and pro-
tectress of every science that can enlighten,
and of every art that can adorn the human
mind.
On this principle, more than the claim of
merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail
to attract the public attention; but still, he
hopes, that he will not be found altogether
undeserving or defective, either in the choice
or execution of his subject. No country pos-
sesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas
of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the
soul of the philosopher, to enliven the song
of the poet, or animate the pencil of the
painter, than those which lie profusely
scattered over the American continent: But
unfortunately there is no country, whose native
charms have been so superficially explored, or
so imperfectly delineated. Hitherto, indeed
the toil of converting a wilderness into a state
of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the
necessaries and comforts of life; and of adapting
civil institutions to the genius of a new
nation, seems to have been sufficient to
engage all the strength, and all the talents of
the inhabitants of America. The people of
Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by
wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely,
comparatively speaking, overslept the
boundaries of their continent in pure search
of information or pleasure. The ruins of
art, which encumber their domestic scenery,
have been preferred to the novelties of nature
which arise in other regions; and the time
has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence
to the Mississippi would have been less valued,
than the section of a palace, or a mutilated
fragment of antiquity. But in respect to
both, a revolution in situation and sentiment
has been accomplished. The American finds
leisure, with a retrospective and joyful sen-
Twelve drawings are ready, and the ut-
most dispatch will be used in preparing
and delivering the engravings. Amongst the
number alluded to, the following may be
mentioned:
1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of
the President of the United States.
2. Philadelphia.
3. City of Washington.
4. New-York.
&c. &c. &c.
It is the design of
