Thirty dollars reward.
Ran away from the subscriber, a white French servant man named Pierre La Fite, about 30 years of age, of small stature, blue eyes, large nostrils; had on blue clothes, like a sailor, and has a small wound in one of his fingers. He left my plantation last Saturday morning, after reading several silver spoons and forks, part of which he sold to a silversmith in Fredericktown. He enticed away with him a French Negro Girl, named Celia, about 22 years of age belonging to me. She had on a green petticoat, and they both spoke bad English. He says he is a gardener and had been a foreman on board a French privateer which he left at Baltimore, previous to his coming into my service at Fredericktown. Any person who will secure them in either of the jails of the following places, shall therefor receive 15 dollars for each of the said run-aways, of the following persons: John Vaughan, of Philadelphia; David Stewart and Sons, Baltimore; Moses Myers, Norfolk; or the Subscriber.

Extract from the Preface. "My chief aim has been, to offer to the public a Dramatic Entertainment, which, while it might excite a smile, or call forth the tear of sensibility, might contain no one sentiment, in the least prejudicial to the moral or political principles of the government under which I live." On the contrary, it has been my endeavour, to place the social virtues in the fairest point of view, and hold up to merited contempt and ridicule, their opposite vices.

"Here smooth CANALS, across the extended plain
Stretch their long arms to join the distant main.
The tons of toll, with many a weary stroke
Crop the hard bottom of the solid rock;
Resistless through the stiff opposing clay,
With steady patience, work their gradual way;
Compel the Genius of the unwilling flood
Through the brown horrors of the aged wood;
Cross the lone waste the silver arm they pour,
And cheer the barren heath, or sullen moor.
"The traveler, with pleasing wonder sees
The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees;
And views the altered landscape with surprise
And doubts the magic scene that round him rises.
Now like a flock of swans, above his head,
Their woven wings the sky in vessels spread.
Now meeting streams, in artful maze, glide
While each, unmingled, pours a separate tide;
Now, through the hidden veins of earth
they flow
And visit sulphurous mines and caves below.
The ductile streams obey the guiding hand,
And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!

LETTER XI.
SUCH is the brief but exaggerated history of the self-created societies, which were probably contemplated in the first Executive...
The recommendation therefore in the speech "to every description of Citizens," was due from the functions of the President...
To this recommendation it has been objected, that no law forbids these societies; and that if they violate any law by their acts...
I am content to pursue the sentiment expressed by the first amendment, which was said to have been proposed in the committee...
To prove, that they were "fatal to good order and the true principles of liberty," was the design of the foregoing papers...
There could be no difficulty in enumerating many real public evils, against which laws have been rarely enacted.
The general prevalence of immorality, as contrasistinguished from crimes, would overthrow the main pillar of a republican government...
Until the late decrees of the National Convention, popular societies were not considered, as absolutely unlawful in France.
If in our own country, they have hitherto been milder, in their excesses, it is, because the theatre, on which they display themselves, has been hitherto limited.
dominated in the account, given of them, is "dissiminate from an ignorance or perversion of facts, suspicions, jealousies, and accusations of the whole government...
With the impressions arising from this prospect of things, the President was bound to elect one of three expedients: to observe towards the societies the most profound silence...
The recommendation to the citizens at large, is an homage to the sovereignty of their opinion.
The recommendation therefore in the speech "to every description of Citizens," was due from the functions of the President...
To this recommendation it has been objected, that no law forbids these societies; and that if they violate any law by their acts...

some of the great princes and powers of the earth.

The Officers of the American army having generally been taken from the citizens of America, possess high veneration for the character of that illustrious Roman Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus...
The following principles shall be immutable, and form the basis of the Society of the Cincinnati.
An incessant attention to preserve inviolate those exalted rights and liberties of human nature, for which they have fought and bled...
To render permanent the cordial affection subsisting among the officers. This spirit will dictate brotherly kindness in all things...
The institution of the Society of the Cincinnati, as altered and amended at their first general meeting, convened in Philadelphia, the 4th day of May, 1784.

(CIRCULAR.)
To the State Society of the Cincinnati, IN
Gentlemen,
We the delegates of the Cincinnati, after the most mature and deliberate discussion of the principles and objects of our society, have thought proper to recommend, that the inclosed "institution of the Society of the Cincinnati," as altered and amended at their "first meetings," should be adopted by your society.
In order that our conduct on this occasion may stand approved in the eyes of the world, that we may not incur imputations of obstinacy on the one hand, or levity on the other...
Previous to our laying them before you, we hold it a duty to ourselves and to our fellow-citizens, to declare, and we call Heaven to witness the veracity of our declaration, that, in our whole agency on this subject, we have been actuated by the purest principles.
tions in instituting or becoming members of this fraternity, and no evidence can be produced from your part, and will be given by your future behaviour, that you could not have been influenced by any other motive than those of friendship, patriotism, and benevolence.
In giving our reasons for the alteration in the first article, we must ask your indulgence, while we recal our attention to the original occasion which induced us to form ourselves into a society of friends.
With views equally pure and disinterested, we proposed to use our collective influence in support of that government, and confirmation of that institution...
We come next to speak of the charitable part of our institution, which we esteem the basis of it. By placing your funds in the hands of the legislature of your state, and letting them see the application is to the best purposes, you will demonstrate the integrity of your actions, as well as the rectitude of your principles.

cent acts of those who are disposed to make use of the most effectual and most unexceptionable mode of relieving the distressed. For this purpose it is to be hoped, that charters may be obtained in consequence of the applications which are directed to be made. It is also judged most proper, that the admission of members should be submitted to the regulation of such charters, because, by thus acting in conformity to the sentiments of government, we not only give another instance of our reliance upon it, but of our dispositions to remove every source of uneasiness respecting our society.
We trust it has not escaped your attention gentlemen, that the only objects of which we are desirous to preserve the remembrance, are of such a nature as cannot be displeasing to our countrymen, or unprofitable to posterity: we have retained accordingly those devices which recognize the manner of returning to our citizenship not as obsequious marks of discrimination, but as pledges of our friendship, and emblems whose appearance will never permit us to deviate from the paths of virtue. And we presume, in this place it may not be expedient to inform you, that there are considered as the most endearing tokens of friendship, and held in the highest estimation by such of our allies as have become entitled to them, by having contributed their personal services to the establishment of our independence, that these gentlemen who are among the first in rank and reputation, have been permitted by their sovereign to hold this grateful memorial of our reciprocal affections; and that this fraternal intercourse is viewed by that illustrious monarch, and other distinguished characters, as no small additional cement to that harmony and reciprocation of offices, which so happily prevail between the two nations.
Having now relinquished whatever has been found objectionable in our original institution; having by the reference thus paid to the prevailing sentiments of the community, neither as we conceive, lessened the dignity nor diminished the consistency of character, which it is our ambition to support in the eyes of the present as well as future generations, having thus removed every possible objection to our remaining connected as a society, and cherishing our mutual friendships to the close of life; and having as we flatter ourselves retained in its utmost latitude, and placed upon a more certain and permanent foundation, that primary article of our association which respects the unfortunate. On these two great original pillars, FRIENDSHIP and CHARITY, we rest our institution; and we appeal to your liberality, patriotism and magnanimity, to your conduct on every other occasion as well as to the purity of your intentions on the present, for the ratification of our proceedings. At the same time we are happy in expressing a full confidence in the candour, justice and integrity of the public, that the institution as now altered and amended will be perfectly satisfactory, and that acts of legislative authority, will soon be passed to give efficacy to your benevolence.
Before we conclude the address, permit us to add, that the cultivation of that amiability we profess, and the extension of that charity, we flatter ourselves, will be objects of sufficient importance to prevent a relaxation in the protection of them, to diffuse comfort and support to any of our unfortunate companions who have been better days, and merited a mild fate; to wipe the tear from the eye of the widow, who must have been consigned, with her helpless infants, to indigence and wretchedness, but for this charitable institution, to succour the fatherless—to relieve the female orphan from destruction—to enable the son to emulate the virtues of his fathers, will be no unpleasing task; it will communicate happiness to others, while it increases our own, it will cheer our solitary reflections, and sooth our latter moments.
Let us, then, prosecute with ardour, what we have instituted in sincerity; let Heaven and our own consciences approve our conduct; let our actions be the best ornament on our words; and let us leave a lesson to posterity, that the glory of F.L. diers cannot be completed, without adorning the part of citizens.
Signed by order GO: WASHINGTON. President.
The length, and dearth of matter, not appertaining to this enquiry, will be accepted, as the reason why those constitutions are not now published verbatim. But if any man will align the smallest cause for suspecting, that the inferences, from these extracts would be varied, by the language or spirit of those instruments unaltered; every letter of them shall be published.
We here behold a contrast, which cannot be heightened by any additional observations. The Cincinnati had incautiously coalesced upon principles, displeasing to their fellow-citizens. Politics, hereditary succession, and funds, subservient to those objects, were within the range of that institution. But at the first general meeting politics were proscribed: hereditary succession abolished; it was agreed, that the funds should be submitted to the direction of the state-legislatures; and that charters should be requested from them. They were satisfied with their rights, as individuals, to interfere with government. They honorably abandoned, what gave offence to others. All, that we look for from the Democratic Societies, is to imitate the Cincinnati in this respect. Let them cease to usurp privileges, which will
ultimately convulse the United States and rely on the liberty of the press, which, I hope and believe, never will be shackled.
The liberty of the press, consists in allowing individuals to publish to the world sentiments or facts, with no other restriction than what springs from a regard to the peace of the community, and from justice to individuals. But after the concession, which has been made to any number of men, as individuals, or as individuals occasionally assembled, or, in short, in any character, except that of a society, which by its constitution, shall maintain an undue ascendancy over the minds of the people, for the purpose of thwarting the measures of government; it certainly cannot follow, that the liberty of the press would be impaired by the suppression of such societies. If it be demanded, why, if so much is yielded, shall the other trifle be withheld? The answer is, that, as every thing is yielded, which the freest communication can require, that other trifle ought not to be yielded, which multitudes of the best friends to the union think important, and which our friends in France have experienced to be destructive.
The bulwark of the liberty of the press is the inestimable trial by jury. Had the democratic societies never been known; were they now effaced and forgotten; this bulwark would remain unshaken. Justly is it prized; because twelve individuals, selected without fraud or concert from the people, will hardly be prevailed on to sacrifice the rights of the people, by a tyrannical verdict against the freedom of the press. Are the whole body of the people less worthy to be trusted? Who will aver, that the people themselves, by being solicited to reflect on the situation of our affairs, would cancel this sacred right, sooner than a jury?
But I ought not to omit one of the pre-eminent advantages of a jury. They are exempt from those prejudices, which a flandering body may sometimes contract. This is a merit, of which no self created society, perpetually existing, and educated by the desire of detecting false steps only in government, will ever presume to boast.

Extracts from three letters, written by a Gentleman in Paris to his friend in this City; the AUTHENTICITY of which may be depended on.
October 16th, 1794.
In the movements of the present day, the Jacobin Society has as heretofore borne its part. The history of this society from its origin to the present time, is of importance to mankind, and especially that portion upon which providence has bestowed the blessing of free government. It furnishes a lesson equally instructive to public functionaries and to private citizens. I am not yet fully possessed of the details although I have endeavoured to acquire them. But the outline I think, I now understand. In its history as in that of the Revolution itself, there are obviously two great eras. The first commenced with the Revolution, and ended with the deposition of the King. The second fills the space between that event and the present day. The former of these is still further divisible into two parts, and upon each of which, distinct characters are marked. The first commenced with the revolution and ended with the constituent assembly or adoption of the constitution. The second comprises the administration under the constitution. During the first of these, the Jacobin Society was composed of almost all the enemies to the ancient despotism: for in general, those who were friends of the public liberty, and wished its establishment under any possible modification, became at this time members of, and attended the debates of this society. But with the adoption of the constitution many were satisfied and left. After this and during the second part of this era, it was composed only of the enemies to hereditary monarchy, comprising the members of the three succeeding parties of Brissot, Danton and Robespierre. During the whole of the first era therefore, or until the deposition of the King, this society may be considered as the cradle of the revolution, for most certainly the Republic would not have been established without it. It was the organ of the public sentiment and by means of discussion and free criticism upon men and measures contributed greatly to forward that important event.
But from that period and through the whole of the second era, this society has acted a different part, and merited a different character. The clergy, the nobility, and the royalty were gone: the whole government was in the hands of the people, and its whole force exerted against the enemy. There was in short nothing existing in that line which merited representation, or with which the popular sentiment virtuously inclined could take offence. But it had already gained a weight in the government, and which it had now neither sufficient virtue nor inclination to abandon. From this period therefore its movements were counter-revolutionary, & behold the same society which was heretofore so formidable to the despotism, now brandishing the same weapon against the legitimate representation of the people.
Its subsequent story is neither complicated nor various, as the revolution was complete so far as depended on the interior order of things, it had no service of that kind to render, nor pretext, to colour its movements. It was reduced to the alternative of either withdrawing from the stage, or taking part in the ordinary internal administration, and which it could not do otherwise than by becoming an
instrument in the hands of some one of the parties against the other. This station therefore it immediately occupied, and has since held it to the present time. It became the creature of Robespierre and under his direction, the principal agent in all those atrocities which have stained this flag of the revolution. It was by means of this society that he succeeded in cutting off the members of the two succeeding parties of Brissot and Danton, and had finally well nigh ruined the Republic itself.
It is an interesting fact, and very deserving of attention, that in the more early and latter stages of this society, the best men of France were seen seeking admittance into it, but from very different motives. In the commencement, and until the establishment of the Republic, it was resorted to by them for the purpose of promoting that great event. But in the latter stage, and until the fall of Robespierre, it was resorted to by them, merely as a shelter from danger. Virtue and talents, with other great and noble endowments, were odious in the sight of that monster, and were, of course, the object of his persecution. Nor was any man of independent spirit, possessing them, secure from his wrath. The Jacobin Society could, alone, furnish any kind of protection; and to this circumstance it was owing, that many deserving characters were seen there, and apparently countenancing measures which in their souls they abhorred. It is, therefore, only justice, that the present preponderating party in France, and the world at large, should now look with indulgence, and indeed with forgiveness, upon the conduct of many of those who seemed, at the time, to abet his enormities. Unfortunately for them; and for their country, their presence secured only a personal exemption from danger: The preponderating influence had long been in the hands of those of a different description.
In the last scene which was acted by Robespierre, and in which he placed himself at the commune, in open rebellion against the Convention, 'tis said, that this society arranged itself under his banner against that assembly. But after his fall, and which was instantaneous, it immediately endeavoured to repair the error of this step, by charging it upon some who were admitted to be bad members, and others who were said to have forced themselves, at that tumultuous moment, unlicensed, into the society, and were not members at all. It even went into high crimination of Robespierre himself. But the principles of the controversy were too deeply rooted in the mind of all, to be so suddenly eradicated. It was obvious that a crisis had arrived which must eventually settle the point whether the Convention, or this society, should govern France, and equally so that the public mind was, and perhaps long had been, decisively settled in favor of the former. As the catastrophe was approaching, this society, as heretofore used at one time an elevated or commanding time, and at others an humiliating one. But the Convention acted with equal dignity throughout.
Whether it contemplated to strike at its existence by any overt act, or to seek its overthrow by contriving the wisdom, the justice and magnanimity of its own present conduct, with the past and recent enormities of this society, is uncertain. The leading members of the preponderating party seemed doubtful upon this point. But finally the rash and outrageous extremities of the society, who were secretly exciting commotions through the country, forced the convention into more decisive measures. By its order, the secretary of the society at Paris was arrested, and all the deputies, from those associated with it through France, and who had arrived to deliberate upon the state of their affairs, were driven from the city, under a decree which exempted none not inhabitants of Paris, except our countrymen. Of all France, Mar-seilles was the only district in which its efforts produced any effect; a small commotion, excited there, was immediately quieted by the ordinary police, and who, after having made an example of the leaders, reported it to the convention.
What further measures may be adopted by the convention in regard to this society, is uncertain: the subject is now under discussion, and I shall, I presume, be able in my next to give you the result.

I likewise send, in the inclosed papers, a decree respecting the Jacobins, by which all correspondence between the different societies is prohibited, as likewise is the presenting a petition to the convention in their character as such.

the Jacobins has been shut up by the convention, and Carrier, formerly representative at Nantes, voted by that body as meriting a trial by the revolutionary tribunal.

Yesterday passed through this city, on their way to Campington, a pair of extraordinary Cattle, fed in the neighborhood of the city by William Sheaff, and which for some time past, have drawn the attention of a number of citizens. They were weighed alive—one of them weighed 2436lb. and the other 2422lb. The Beef of these oxen will be exposed for sale on Saturday morning next, at George Hoppie's Hall, No. 4, and Jacob Karr, No. 3, above Third street.

Died, at Burlington, New Jersey, on Friday the 20th instant, Miss Ann Neale, daughter of Mr. John Neale of said city, in the 21st year of her age, after a lingering illness which she bore with Christian fortitude and resignation. Her remains were deposited in the Episcopal Churchyard at Burlington, on Sunday last, attended by a great number of her relations and friends, many of whom were from Philadelphia. As she lived universally beloved, so she died universally lamented.
The Rev. Mr. Van Dike delivered a very pathetic discourse on the solemn occasion, from Luke, Chap. 12, verse 40. "Be ye therefore ready also."

BOOKS, PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market Street.
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extract from the Critical Review, April 1791, p. 468.
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 of 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—The situations are artful and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, fearfully, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.”

Notes on the State of Virginia—By Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brillon. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. “The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find in every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whenever the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Englishmen, and exaltate every criminal act by which to noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.”
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of being this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dilute the clou of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.”
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.
“We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and alarm of mankind.”

Embellished with a map of Barbary, comprehending Morocco, Fez, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli.

FOR SALE, SEVERAL VALUABLE
Tracts of LAND,
LYING in King George County, Virginia, lying on the south side of Potomack Creek, near its mouth, being one mile from the river Potomack, containing by old survey eleven hundred and ten acres. There is on the above tract of Land a dwelling house thirty by twenty, with three rooms on the first floor, and two above, with fire places, a kitchen with a brick chimney, stables, corn house, meat house, dairy and other out houses; also a good framed store house by twenty-four, and a granary, both perfectly new, and agreeably situated on the Creek, commanding a fine view of the river Potomack, and one of the best fisheries either on the river or creek. This creek is navigable for vessels of several tons, and abounds with wild fowl of every kind, particularly ducks. The land is fertile and well adapted to the culture of corn, rye, and tobacco. There is also on it a quantity of timber of superior quality, either for ship or house building, & contiguous to the water, from whence it could be rafted to Alexandria, or to the City of Washington, and is not more than fifty miles distant from either place. The growth is chiefly red and white oak, locust, walnut, hickory, cedar and poplars of an extraordinary size. There are also a couple of small meadows now in timothy, and several other rich swamps, which may be put in at a small expense. The banks consist chiefly of shell-marl of the best quality, which affords a valuable and inexhaustible fund of manure.
Likewise another valuable Tract, lying in Potomack river in King George county, nearly opposite to Port Tobacco, in Maryland, containing about four hundred acres; one hundred of it is heavily timbered with white oak proper for house or ship building; about fifty acres of marsh, and the whole of the land perfectly level, and well adapted to farming, being of a stiff quality, and excellent for holding manure. It bounds on the river about three quarters of a mile, has a most admirable herring and rock fishery, and for wild fowl is perhaps equal to any on the Continent.
It is well situated for a Ferry, being at a narrow part of the river, and is not more than thirty five miles from the City of Washington by land.
We will likewise sell a valuable Tract of Land, lying partly in King George and partly in Stafford county, containing five hundred acres. This tract is about one mile from Potomack Creek, it is well timbered and watered, the soil is of an excellent quality.
