exists to prevent Roman Catholics sitting in Parliament.
The question was put, an amendment made, and a ballot called for on each paragraph as before, in which the numbers varied very little from the last mentioned ballot.
On reading the last paragraph, Mr. Willis moved, "to expunge the word Protestants, and insert the word People." In a debate on this amendment, Mr. Howison observed, that it was intended by the minority to leave the room, so as to leave the number of the Assembly below forty, and of course adjourn. He therefore requested that the doors should be locked.
This, however, the sheriffs had no authority to do, and in consequence there appeared on the next vote, a half dozen.
Ayes for the amendment 3 Noes - - - - 33 Mr. Chambers then demanded, that as forty members were not present, the Assembly should be adjourned, which was done accordingly.
KONINGSBERG, Feb. 18.
Letters from Grodno state, that a courier had arrived there from Peterburg, who brought with him the plan of the new partition of Poland, but the particulars have not yet transpired; for the whole is to be determined by the Partitioning Commission assembled at Cracow.
On the part of Austria, Count Maizati, the Imperial Commissioner at Lemberg, has been appointed Director Vice President of the territory which falls into the hands of Austria. It is supposed that the king will be allowed a pension during the remainder of his life.
This unfortunate monarch has lately been persuaded by Gen. Suwarow to write a letter to the Empress, and to intreat her to grant him an asylum in her territories, that he might end his days in tranquility. Amongst other things, his last letter, which was conveyed to the Empress by the Prince of Galicia, contained the following expressions:
Resignation of the Crown of Poland. "The names of the Crown of Poland has been obliterated from amongst the Crowns of the Crowns of the European States. The Polish Empire exists no longer; there is no longer a Polish army, no free government; in short, there exists nothing which characterizes an independent state.
"The Polish army has entered into the service of three belligerent powers, or were made prisoners of war by them. One thousand five hundred Poles have been conducted prisoners to Russia, from the Russian camp alone. The conquerors reign with absolute sway over the conquered territories.
"Lithuania is become a province of Russia, and from Southern Prussia into the Vistula, all is subjected to Prussia. Wherever there are Russian soldiers, the estates of the absent are sequestered. Suffer me, therefore, voluntarily to resign a crown which heapes upon my head such a mass of adversity."
LONDON, March 20.

It is said to have now transpired, that the answer given to the Dutch commissioners sent to Paris to treat for peace, previous to the entry of the French into Holland, was to the following effect: "That the whole of the Stadholder's family must leave the territory of the Republic; that the States must immediately enter into a treaty of commerce and alliance with France; and that, in case their proposals were agreed to, a statu quo should immediately take place till proper measures should be taken."

PHILADELPHIA, May 14.
Copy of a Letter from Capt. Joshua M c Williams, of the Sloop Martha , to a Merchant in this City.
Port-de-Paix, April 7, 1795.
DEAR SIR,
SINCE my arrival here on the 23d of March, have wrote you by the brig Five Sisters of Philadelphia, and inclosed you the heads of a Protest entered into here; also a copy of a Petition which I laid before General Leveaux of this place, praying for LIBERTY to depart with my cargo, or for prompt payment, which he peremptorily refused, and is determined to have the cargo, the Payment for which I must wait for, and take my turn by rotation, with the Neutral vessels present in similar circumstances, and as the Garrison is not in want of provisions at present Gen. Leveaux urges the necessity of detaining me, for fear of supplies going to his enemies—which he secures by keeping my vessel within pistol shot under the Guard-Ship's bow, and soldiers continually on board, which renders it impossible for me to escape from them without risking the property for a confiscation, instances of which we have daily. A Captain Adams, of Newbury-port, fined 3000 livres for landing two casks of wine in his boat, which he had disposed of to an individual; and a confiscation of fifty barrels flour from a Mr. Cullen, supercargo of a vessel belonging to Mr. Campbell, of Baltimore; and from these dangerous circumstances, I am of opinion it will be most advisable for your interest, to deliver the cargo on board to the Administration, and depart home without waiting to bring the return cargo with me. Having examined the books of Administration, and from the number of vessels before me, and the large dues from them, and calculated the amount of coffee delivered monthly, on an average of three months, there is not the least probability of my receiving payment in less than five or perhaps six months, which detention would be ruinous to your property; and being unwilling to make so great a sacrifice of your interest, think it most proper for me to return with speed, should I tell to them, which I cannot see any means of avoiding. I shall wait on the Agents this day and make one more trial—if I cannot get liberty to depart, agree upon the best terms in my power: the cargo being of a perishing nature, will oblige me to dispose of it sooner than I would, could I be assured of its not perishing; but the weather being so extremely warm there is great danger of the flour spoiling, which would in that case be a total loss, and turned on my hands. There are a number of vessels in a similar situation with me, which have delivered their cargoes, and returned home with a view of coming for their payment the next crop; and there are a number of vessels receiving payment at present which left their cargoes here some six and some eight months ago.
I wrote you, in my last, my determination of waiting for your further instructions; but the length of time will be so great, am induced to alter my opinion, as the flour would, before that time expires, be at that degree as to damage a great part of it. Having fully considered my situation, in the present case am clearly of opinion it will be for the interest of my charterer to act as I have before recited, in doing which I shall use the utmost of my ability to promote the success of the voyage, and do the utmost in my power for all concerned.
I shall embrace every opportunity for your information, and remain your humble servant,
JOSHUA M c WILLIAMS.
ALBANY, May 4 1795.
COMMUNICATION.
The propriety of laying a general embargo upon all kinds of grain in America, will doubtless excite the immediate attention of the President. It has been the policy of all nations to guard against the danger of draining their own supplies; this policy has also been adopted occasionally by the States respectively, when the power lay with them; the present exorbitant price of grain of all kinds, and the unbounded demand in almost every quarter of the globe is such, that nothing short of a general embargo will reduce the price to some standard of reason, or prevent the farmers from being completely exhausted.

We do not doubt but Col. d'Hervilly, Billaud Varennes and Barrere may, during the crisis of the Republic, have rendered themselves guilty of many unjust and cruel acts, as well as the National Convention under whose authority they acted; however it must admit every friend of Liberty and justice, that it is not the real crimes of those individuals, but the rancour of a party, which brought them to the scaffold, every expression of their implacable enemies announced that they had already pronounced sentence of death against the members of the ancient committee, and had sent them only before the revolutionary tribunal in order to invent their own wilful with a judicial form. To show the character of those men, who call themselves the friends of justice and humanity, and the base means, they had recourse to in order to render their adversaries execrable in the eyes of the people, we shall only mention the following horrible story, published a few days before the report of the commission of 21 was presented, in almost all the Paris papers:
"We know from undoubted authority that our ancient tyrants put the bodies of their numerous victims whom they daily massacred in requisition and can warrant it, that they have established a secret tannery where the skins of the immolated citizens were tanned, and afterwards employed for shoes and boots. We can besides assure that St. Just and Barrere were the first, who wore boots made of human skins."
This tannery was said to exist at Mendon in that precious laboratory, where the voice of the nation had since 1793 assembled the most skilful chemists, who have changed the Aerolite from a mere toy into an instrument of victory and disclosed several other mysteries equally useful to sciences and manufactures. The representatives of the people who superintended the national establishment at Mendon thought it their duty to expose the malice and infamy of those men who had so eagerly propagated the above report. On the 2d March they transmitted a letter to the President wherein they solemnly declared, that the anecdote of human skins having ever been tanned, was an utter falsity invented by the enemies of the Republic.
A member demanded that the letter be inserted in the bulletin, but Meilin was against it; because he said in our enlightened times no body will believe, that human skins could be tanned for shoes and boots. He proposed the order of the day and Saldin made immediately his report on the 4 accused deputies!
The moderate party in France, as it is called, have lately given a strong proof of their moderation, by putting to death those who would not join them in supporting their favorite system of moderantism. Nothing appears in the act of accusation against Barrere, Collot and Billaud which, even if fully proved, ought to lead them to the scaffold; they fall victims to the spirit of party, and by the hands of men perhaps more plausible are probably not so sincere in the cause of republicanism. If, however, they entertain designs in suspicious to freedom, their projects will be baffled by the energy of the mass of a people who having called liberty, will not brook despotism in any shape.
The return of the Vendicans into the bosom of the republic, is confirmed by all the letters from those places which are only a few miles from the insurgent cantons.
The French privateer brig which is arrived at the Port, is called the Brutus, Captain Garafain, of 14 guns, from a cruise.
Extract of a letter from an American Consul to the Secretary of State, dated in England Feb. 10.
"The wheat crop of this country proving short, and there being no supplies from the Baltic or America, our prices of grain are raised to a very enormous pitch, and from the appearance of affairs there is little probability of a reduction soon. Wheat is here 7/6 to 7/9 per bushel, Winchester, weighing 60 to 62 pounds—fine flour 18/ per cwt.—seconds 17/6 per cwt.—barley 4/ per bushel Winchester."
They write from Nantes, thirty five thousand rebels have laid down their arms and delivered up above one hundred pieces of cannon, a great quantity of ammunition, and considerable magazines of provisions.
The garrison and national guard of Nantes, appeared in arms on the 21st of February, and peace between the Republic and the inhabitants of the Department of Vendee was solemnly proclaimed.
France lost one of her most distinguished generals about the end of February last: gen. Moreau, commander in chief of the army of the Moselle, died of a wound which he received in
an engagement in the spring of 1794. His wound suppurated, closed up again, and the young hero died.
He was a young man, born at Morlaix in Brittany; he distinguished himself particularly in the army by his skill and extraordinary intrepidity: his father was guillotined, whilst the son took the fortress of Slays in Dutch Flanders. Gen. Michaud is appointed his successor, in the commandment of the army of the Moselle.
The latest intelligence from Switzerland gives some account of the celebrated ex minister Necker. He is attacked by a malady of languor. His lady died some time since, and her body is deposited in the bed room of her husband, who refuses absolutely to part with her till a superb mausoleum, which he ordered to be raised is finished.
Goulin, a native of St. Domingo, and member of the revolutionary committee of Nantes, poisoned himself in prison about the 20th February.
PARIS, Feb. 26.
To the Editor of the Journal de Paris , February 16.
Errant and outlawed since the 31st May, 1793, I found at my return here my literary property, which is almost the only one I possess, invaded by men who owed at least some respect to my misfortunes. I declare that the pretended new editions of Faublas, announced some time since, are nothing else than counterfeits.
I am now engaging in the booksellers' business. My store is in the gallery No. 24, Maison d'Egalite, behind the Theatre of the Republic.
There may be had my different literary works, with some novelties, and a complete account of my sufferings and misfortunes, during an exile of 18 months.
J. B. LOUVER.
Formerly a deputy of the convention.
A vessel arrived on the 29th January at Legion in Italy brought intelligence that the Turkish Dey had reconquered Tripolis and driven the Usurper from the Regency of that Moroccan State. The latter took shelter in a Moschee and was arrested there in consequence of a Firman of the Grand Signior.
The Emperor of Morocco and the Regency of Algiers are said to have adopted the system of the confederated powers against the Republic, but the French have friends and much influence at Tunis and Tripolis.

From Billings's Liverpool Advertiser. Observations on common salt as a manure, also on its general utility to the human and animal creation.
By John Billingshead, Esq. of Chorley, Lancashire.
[From Mr. Wedge's "Survey of the county palatine of Chester," for the board of agriculture.]
There is no subject in common life deserves greater attention than agriculture; and nothing appears better calculated to promote its progress than the discovery of proper manures, that can be obtained in plenty, and at a moderate price.
Manures, when divorced of their salts, are reduced to mere fibrous matter; therefore to procure salts proper for vegetation, without any extraneous mixtures, would be an important discovery. It has been proved by experience, that those lands which have been covered by the tides, produce grain and corn superior to any others; and when the farmer was allowed foul salt to improve his fields, they never failed to return abundant crops; which is a clear demonstration that common salt is replete with the same fertilizing qualities as sea-water. It is also known that common salt contains an alkali equal to the nitre which enriches the lands in India and the low grounds in Egypt; but the common salt will be found preferable to nitre, because pure nitre suffers the extra heat to exhale moisture; while the alkali, which is combined with the acid of common salt is so fixed as to attract an additional moisture. This, then, is a true magnet water; for heat equal to boiling water will not dry a salted soil. As it is generally agreed that air and water, with what is dissolved in them, constitute the food of plants—to cultivate land in such a manner as to make it retain a proper quantity of air and water, would in all probability, be the best means of rendering it fertile. In that view, a soil, to be perpetually fertile, must be endowed with powers to retain air and water sufficient for its plants, and at the same time must be of a nature that will not harden by moisture. Salt promises to answer all these different purposes; for it will prevent the soil from being hardened by water, and also invigorate the same by its retentive, alkaline, and acid qualities. These suggestions almost amount to a proof that common salt is that desirable object, which, when properly used, will prove to be the real acid solvent so essentially necessary to prepare matter proper for the food of plants: but all its merit is of little worth so long as it is subject to the high duty imposed by the legislature. If government would be pleased to attend to these remarks, and substitute in its stead an additional land-tax of three-pence in the pound, it would raise more money into the exchequer than the present duty. Salt would then be the cheapest, best, and most universal manure in nature; and also be the means of advancing botany, gardening, and every branch of agriculture, with chemistry and all metallic arts, to a certain degree of perfection. Before the prohibition of foul salts, when the farmer proposed to turn his lands to tillage in autumn, he sowed a double quantity of salts, in order to destroy grubs, rusts, weeds, gorse, fern, broom, worms, snails, &c. The whole was by that means converted into a manure which supported the three succeeding crops and left the soil, after all in good condition. This mode of preparation appears superior to any other. Some farmers have sown about 1000lb. weight of salt on one acre of land, as ploughed, in order to meliorate the soil before seed was sown. They have also laid on meadow grounds, as soon as cut, and pasture lands in the winter, about the same quantity.
As soon as salt can be procured duty free, it may be presumed that all parks, lawns, commons, rabbit warrens, hills and mountains, will exhibit as rich a verdure as salt marsh; and effectually prevent the rot in sheep, deer, and rabbits. Salt would be used in composts, hot-houses, hop-grounds &c. It may then be used to great advantage in the West India Islands, for the culture of sugar canes, indigo, cotton, rice and all other crops of those countries; as it will save great expense, by destroying weeds and reptiles, besides supporting the growth of plants by the retention of moisture in those hot climates. Fruit trees and plants should have salt lifted round them several times in the year. Every load of hay should have a quantity of salt scattered on it when hauled, which will cause the hay to retain its juices, and to feed nearly equal to grass. Cows, horses, &c. should have salt given them in almost every feed of ground corn, grains, &c. Spruce fir tea and milk should be given to cows and horses at any time when not well.
The utility of common salt to mankind, for culinary purposes, is so well understood, that it is needless to expatiate on that subject; yet as its medicinal virtues are not generally known, I beg leave to recommend the following bath as a substitute to accommodate those whom business or inability, prevents the benefit of sea bathing.
All families ought to bath every Saturday night in a warm bath, made with three pounds of salt to each gallon of water, or with sea water. One tea-spoon of common Glauber's salt should be put into a basin of milk and spruce fir tea in lieu of India tea, for the family's breakfast.
Chemistry and the metallic arts would require great quantities; if the salt were reduced to a moderate price.
Some French Chemists at Liverpool have obtained a patent for the use of a pure alkali, extracted from common salt, superior to pot-ash, for the bleaching of calicoes, muslins, &c. It gives them immediately a colour and silkiness similar to
India goods. They also extract from salt several other degrees of alkalis, for the manufacture of soap, glass, &c. but high duty prevents the general use.
If the legislature were to substitute the aforesaid tax, the revenue would be advanced more than double, and, at the same time save to the nation several hundred thousand pounds, expended annually on imported alkalis.
A minister merits reproach who lays a duty equal to a prohibition on any article that would so essentially promote the interest of agriculture. High duties may be proper when there is a probability of the article being exhausted, which makes it necessary to limit the consumption; but that is not the case with salt, for on a thorough investigation of the salt rocks and springs in Cheshire, they would appear sufficient to supply the demands of all Europe for ever. The rock lies about thirty six yards below the surface, in thickness from ten to forty yards; covers a tract of twenty miles in length, with some in breadth, and over the whole distils a rise springs, which are generally made into salt. Coals too are plentiful.
At Droitwich in Worcestershire, in Lancashire, and several other countries, are likewise wood salt springs; besides quantities of salt are procured from sea water.
Great Britain contains about twelve millions of people, and its produce barely sustains them; and when any season of the year happens to be unfavourable, the inhabitants are alarmed at the prospect of famine; but when salt is brought into general use, the land of Great Britain will maintain ten times twelve million of people; for it is a certain support to vegetation, when extra heat and cold are predominant. The landholder will then reap such plentiful crops as to enable him to pay cheerfully all the wants of government: for the consolidation of the taxes the legislature should always have in view. The manufacturer will then live cheap, and also be freed from those thickles which retard his progress. This, and this only, would enable us to rival every other state, and would also be the means of raising this nation to an incredible height of opulence and power.
A petition from the Royal and Agricultural Society should be presented to government, praying the indulgence of salt, duty free. Experiments would then be made throughout the kingdom, & its excellence and utility as a manure, &c. I humbly apprehend would be fully demonstrated and confirmed.
Salt without duty would be from ten shillings to thirteen shillings per ton.
THE BRITISH POETS.
IMMORTAL spirits of the shell divine, Whether ye wander in the Elysian grove, Or glad attendants on the heavenly Nine, By sacred Helicon delight to rove, Ye parent bards of British verse—all hail! Oh, may my eager muse not wholly fail To sing your praises, whilst the darts aspire Soaring aloft, to tune the Theban lyre; Oh, whilst the tries to stem ætherial height, On trembling pinions guide her daring flight
SPENCER.
What founds melodious charm my ravish'd ear, "Now soft, now loud unto the winds they call," Breathing o'er fairy scenes delightful near, On painted meads, enchanted groves, they call. But lo! how chang'd the scenes of sweet delight, Dire spectres, terrify the astonish'd sight; See warrior Knights in burnish'd arms array'd, Start dreadful gleaming from the leafy shade, Furious each ghastly phantom to engage, Treason, Deceit, Kevenging, and frantic Rage.
SHAKESPEARE.
Hail, Nature's child! sweet bard of Avon, hail! Come solemn Tragedy in sable plight; With tresses streaming to the floating gale. Come jocund Tragedy join the farred rite; To deck his hallow'd shrine—ah haste, and bring Fair bays from Helicon's immortal spring; My Muse—bright Fancy, lo, before thine eyes, Causes his own lov'd offspring to arise; See Nature smiles upon her frantic Lear, There Hamlet raves—the fair Ophelia here; View Conscience torturing Richard's inmost soul; See dire Despair in Romeo's eye balls roll, Astonish'd I survey—divine Bard, May Fame, with endless meads, thy works sublime reward.
MILTON.
Beyond the sacred bounds of Time and Space, Say, might she vent'rous muse explore her flight; Or solitary think a path to trace Through the dark realms of Chaos and Old Night? Yes—by the hand of Eternity led—the found Of Verse Divine could charm the deep profound; Or rais'd aloft beyond this neither sky, Could join the bright Angelic Choir on high; Where veil'd in glory on his azure Throne, The Lord of Nature reigns—unbounded, and alone.
DRYDEN.
Rehearse Æolian lyre—the praise rehearse, Of him who made the Mantuan Bard our own; Sweet modulator of the British Verse, Whose flowing lays the Nine with gl'ry crown,
Whether the Classic Bards with lustre shine, Or Saviour teaches in thy works divine! Whither Timotheus' raptures the ye, Charming the soul with more than mortal fire; Still does thy Verse, Oh DRYDEN, clear and strong, Bear with its force sublime the ravish'd sense along.
From an English Paper of March 10.
The liberty of the press, in France, discloses many serious truths, which, had they been uttered only a few months since, would have unavoidably conducted the speaker to the scaffold. The following passage is extracted from a publication printed in Paris in the month of February: "Our revolution is like a thunder storm, which bursts forth, and destroys without the least possibility of escape. We have framed a revolution, and, out of four and twenty millions of individuals who live in France, not one can tell why we undertook that revolution, and where it is to stop! We rush on like madmen, without a will, and without an idea of our own. We applaud our successes, and scoff at our misfortunes; and all the while we are convinced, that our revolution was not made for the benefit of the people, but for that of a set of men who are contesting among each other the suffrages of the people, that they may assume their authority. We have seen the factions of Orleans, Girondists, Brissotists, Maratists, Hebertists, Robespierrest, Jacobins, Terrorists, and Nod-rates, succeed each other. Now it is the faction of Journalists which has gained the greatest preponderance. The public does neither less, nor judge, but through them. These gentlemen are constantly busied with cutting out work for the Convention; and every motion to be proposed, as well as every decree to be enacted, is prepared, beforehand, in the periodical publications of the Journalists. Let the objects be political, civil, military or economical, all are subjected to their censure and animadversions."

IRELAND.
The following interesting Debate respecting the Roman Catholics in Ireland, must be acceptable to our readers, who have been apprized of the critical situation of that country.—It is copied from a London paper of the 24th of March, the latest received.
DUBLIN, March 19.
City Assembly-Friday March 13. The meeting of this day was held in consequence of a requisition signed by several members of the Corporation, requesting the Lord Mayor to call a poll assembly to take into consideration the claims of the Roman Catholics.
The board of Aldermen having sent a message to the Commons house, requiring them to appoint four of their number to form a committee with four Aldermen, to draw up petitions to his Majesty, and to the House of Commons on this subject.
Mr. Skeys, Mr. Ewing, Mr. Guinness, and Mr. J. Binns, opposed agreeing to the resolution of the board.
Mr. Skeys then insisted that the assembly had no proof of what the Catholic claims were, or whether any claim had been at all made on their part. He demanded that the persons who had signed it, should come forward and explain the nature of those claims: if they did not, but wished to hurry the Corporation into the measure without any proof before them, he should think it want of courage in them not to meet the question fairly.
Mr. Pemberton avowed his having signed the requisition; and so far was he from avoiding the declaration, he expected credit from his fellow-citizens for the fairness of his intentions. He agreed with Mr. Howison, that on receiving the report would be the proper time for discussion.
Mr. John Binns insisted, that no committee ought to be appointed, until some document was produced to prove that claims had been made by the Roman Catholics: no such thing had been done; but if it were, he would object to the Corporation interfering between the bounty of the Legislature and such claims, if they existed. He called the attention of the Assembly to the state of the country, involved in a disastrous war: union amongst Irishmen was necessary to national preservation—against Irishmen united in their common defence, no enemy could prevail. In the last war when Ireland had 50,000 of her citizens in arms, had a French army landed in this country, was all knew they could not have got a drop of water or a bit of bread without fighting for it! would that be the case now, when the seeds of disunion were sowed by such measures as that now proposed? When promises had been made to the Catholics by men in power, was it for the Corporation to interfere and prevent their completion? Whether those promises had been made with any expectation of fulfilling them, he would not say: but it would be most cruelly tantalizing the Catholics to hold out assurances to them, and deprive them of hope afterwards.
Mr. Guinness denied that any document had been laid before the Assembly to prove that any claims had been made by the Catholics.
Mr. Giffard said, he had listened with patience to one gentleman who had spoke just before him, and one part of that gentleman's speech had indeed astonished him—He had said, that in a former period, if the French had lauded in this Country, they would not have obtained a bit of bread or a drop of water, without fighting for it; and he had maintained that such would now be the case! (continued Mr. Giffard) that if the French should land in the Country, that the Roman Catholics would be less loyal now than they were then? Does he mean that any Irishman would be found to aid or acquiesce in a French Invasion? I know that the supposition is unfounded. I know, that although the idea is suggested by men professing friendship to the Roman Catholics, that the Roman Catholics are men, and must feel gratitude for favours. What was their situation in the last war, compared with their present state; if they were loyal then, what tenfold reason have they for loyalty now? Is a succession of fourteen years benevolence to alienate their allegiance from their Sovereign? Is kindness heaped on kindness, and privilege succeeding privilege, to render them disloyal, or urge them to disturb the Country, or to invite our greatest enemies? I will answer for them, although I oppose them in the present instance, that any suggestion of disloyalty thrown out against them is untrue; and I will repeat, that I think them falsely slandered, traduced and vilified by such imputations. Gentlemen deny that claims have been made by the Roman Catholics, and they have called upon us to declare what they are: I will tell you—they want to be Sheriffs in your chair—Aldermen at your Board—Lord Mayors of your Corporation—Judges and Members of your Legislature. I will not suppose they wish to become Protestant Bishops; by their claims, even the restraint which prevents their entering our Church establishment is required to be removed, and they demand the repeal of all restrictive laws! It is asked, what documents are there to prove this? I have in my hands the votes of the House of Commons, authenticated by the name of their Speaker, and published by his command.
Mr. Howison entered into an history of the improvements of the British Constitution, which had always increased in proportion to the decrease of the Papal power in these Countries, from the bold extortion of Magna Charta from King John, who with the aid of Rome only opposed the patriotic Barons, to the utter expulsion of Romish authority by the glorious Revolution of 1688. At every period of this history, even in the most dark and bigoted times, an opposition to the See of Rome was productive of material advantage to Liberty; and on the contrary, when Popish power prevailed, the country was enslaved—and this he thought must always be the case, when men who ought to be only subject to their Monarch looked to a foreign Potentate as their real Ruler.
Mr. Pemberton admitted that the Roman Catholics had been deluded by propositions held out by a right hon. gentleman in administration (Mr. Grattan): but he himself had always considered those propositions premature, as they now proved to have been made without authority; the Roman Catholics had been thus led into an unpleasant situation, but he thought this no argument to induce Protestants to substantiate the expectations thus vainly raised: and he would put it upon this single question, supposing that the Protestants were to change places with them, would the Roman Catholics give up restraints so necessary for their own security: he believed not.
That they laboured under one grievance which ought to be removed, he would admit—but it was a grievance affecting all dissenters from the church equally—paying two fees of clergy; but that ALL restraints should therefore be removed, he denied—it was utterly impolitic; from their present situation, not above half a million of Roman Catholics at the utmost could receive the least benefit from a total repeal—while one whole million of Protestants would be materially injured. For his own part he disclaimed the charges of bigotry and illiberality which were thrown out, but he never could agree to surrender those privileges on which depended the Protestant safety.
Mr. Chambers said he could only consider the agitation of this question at the present Awful Moment, as a contrivance of the DEMON OF DISCORD to kindle DISUNION, CONFUSION and SEDITION in the Country; the mischief which might ensue was DREADFUL to CONceive! He demanded why this question had not been brought forward for the last two months, while Earl Fitzwilliam had COUNTENANCED the CATHOLIC CLAIMS, and when CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION had been taken up by Parliament? And WHY did gentlemen DELAY until that Nobleman was preparing to depart, and the Parliament had adjourned?
Mr. Howison in answer, said, that as to the necessity of the City coming forward now, to the discussion of this question, it arose from a boast of Sir L. Parsons in Parliament, that the Protestants supported the present demands of the Roman Catholics.
Mr. Giffard produced a large bundle of the votes, filled with the Roman Catholic Petitions.
Mr. Chambers to put an end to the discussion, which he thought dangerous and ill-timed, moved the question of adjournment.
After some conversation, the question of adjournment was put, and a ballot had.
Ayes—33 Noes—40
The question was then put to appoint a committee.
Mr. Chambers moved that the first member of the committee should be appointed by ballot.

After some conversation, the question of adjournment was put, and a ballot had.
Ayes—33 Noes—40
The question was then put to appoint a committee.
Mr. Chambers moved that the first member of the committee should be appointed by ballot.
The Sheriff declared that he would not give up his privilege or nominal right as a member, and called upon the Assembly to support him.
The Sheriff nominated Mr. W. Thomson, who appointed Mr. Pemberton, who named Mr. Gibbon, by whom Mr. Giffard was called upon.
The four Aldermen were, Alderman Warren, Alderman Sutton, Alderman Sankey, and Alderman Worthington.
The committee retired, and in some time after a message came from the Board of Aldermen, that they had agreed to the committee's report, in which they requested the Commons to coincide.
The Petition to the Throne was then read, in substance as follows:
To the King's most excellent Majesty.
"WE, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizens of the city of Dublin, beg leave to approach your Majesty with the most cordial affections of devotion and loyalty to your Majesty's sacred Person, Family and Government."
"As the chief Protestant Corporation in your Majesty's kingdom of Ireland, we feel ourselves peculiarly called upon at the present crisis to declare our inviolate attachment to the great principles of the Revolution of 1688, which were re-enacted by the Irish Legislature in 1782."
"We humbly conceive that the leading objects of these two great and important acts were to establish in your Majesty's hereditary kingdoms for ever the genuine Principles of Civil and Religious Liberty; and as the surest support of the latter, the Protestant Religion, as established by law."
"We consider, therefore, that the present application of the Roman Catholics, to obtain the repeal of all restrictive laws whatsoever, which affect them—is highly alarming and dangerous."
"We, therefore, humbly supplicate your Majesty's gracious protection in behalf of your loyal subjects the Protestants of Ireland, whose fidelity to your Majesty and your Royal House has ever remained unimpeached and unalterable."
On the first paragraph of this petition Mr. Willis demanded a ballot; but upon the remonstrance of his friends, that it was merely declaratory of loyalty, he consented to withdraw his motion, and the paragraph passed serm. con.
To each succeeding paragraph an amendment was proposed by those who opposed the petition; but every amendment was negatived.
On every paragraph three different ballots were had upon the demand of the Minority, viz. on an amendment—on the previous question, and on the main paragraph.
The time was thus so much exhausted that it was nine at night before the last paragraph was read.
To this Mr. Skeys proposed an amendment. He said, that as Mr. Giffard had admitted the loyalty of the Catholics, he could have no objection to add to the last paragraph, which, by speaking of Protestant Loyalty, seemed to cast imputations on the Catholics—a clause declaratory of the conviction of the loyalty of the Catholics.
Mr. Giffard replied, that to show how differently he would act from those who so uncautiously opposed the petition, he would most heartily agreed to such a resolution to be passed as a declaratory act of the Assembly, but he could not be expected to tack it to the petition, and thus subject the business for which he had all day labored, to the necessity of being recommitted, sent again to the board, and re-considered by that house at so late an hour of the night.
Mr. Skeys thought this very candid, and agreed to postpone in that manner. Mr. Stephens, Mr. Willie, and Mr. Chambers, thought that the petition declaring the loyalty of the Protestants conveyed an imputation on the Catholics, and required this explanation.
Mr. Giffard said, that the Roman Catholics in all their petitions had stated their own loyalty, without at all noticing that of the Protestants. Surely Protestants had a right to do the same. He gave notice, that if it was attempted to force this amendment on the petition, he must oppose it, though as a declaratory resolution, he would pledge himself to vote for it.
The question was put on the amendment and a ballot demanded.
Ayes—20 Noes—40
The question was put on the whole petition, which was agreed to, on a ballot nearly similar in numbers.
The petition was then ordered to be sealed with the city seal, and presented to the Lord Lieutenant for transmission to his Majesty.
A petition to the House of Commons was then read. It stated nearly the same circumstances with that to his Majesty.
To the first paragraph of this Mr. Skeys objected. He said it stated an historical falsehood, and insisted that Catholics possessed seats in Parliament from the Revolution to 1726.
Mr. Giffard replied, He proved, that by the act of the 3d of William III. recognized and confirmed by Yelverton's act of 1782, no person could sit in Parliament without taking the declaration against Popery, set forth in that act, and at this moment no other restraint

FOR SALE, Between nine and 10,000 Acres of Land, Situate in the county of Frederick and state of Virginia, being the greater part of Greenway Court Manor. Part of this tract lies on the river Shenandoah, between thirty and forty miles above its junction with the Potomac. The Shenandoah is capable of being rendered navigable, and the navigation of the Potomac is in a fair way of being completed to tide water which circumstances offer in a few years a water carriage to the flourishing towns of Georgetown and Alexandria, and to the City of Washington; from all which places the said tract is distant between seventy and eighty miles by land. The flourishing Borough of Winchester is only twelve or fourteen miles from it. Between three and four thousand acres of the land are leased generally for terms not exceeding twenty-one years, and many of the terms have only short periods to run. The remaining quantity being near six thousand acres, consists of the most valuable part of the tract being extremely rich limestone land, similar in quality to the very fertile country in Lancaster and York counties of this state, and in Frederick county of Maryland. An indisputable title will be made to the purchaser. This tract being situated in a most healthy and fertile country, offers a most advantageous investment of money; as no part of America can exhibit a more rapid settlement and improvement, and consequently a more rapid increase in the value of real estate. It would be particularly advantageous to a company of settlers as the part not leased, admits of being divided into farms of any size to suit the convenience of the parties concerned. One half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining half at early instalments with interest. Further particulars are deemed unnecessary as it is probable the land will be viewed, by any person disposed to buy before the purchase. The price for the whole tract may be known on application to the hon. Thomas Hartley, Esq. at Yorktown, to the hon. John Walker Rutter, Esq. at the town of Lancaster, in this state, to Charles Lee, Esq. at Alexandria in the state of Virginia or to the subscriber, at No. 27, north Second Street in this city, who will treat with any person or persons disposed to purchase till the fifteenth day of June next.

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 enslaved by her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, it not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the constancy 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, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributive."

5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Bridet. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. "The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and this reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with being the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tory nor republican—They love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced. In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealous of either party. But when time shall dissipate 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 astonishment of mankind."

The Complainant in this cause, having this day filed her bill of complaint, praying for certain causes therein set forth, to be divorced from her husband Henry Onderdonk, the above defendant, and having made due proof, that the said Henry hath, after the cause of complaint had arisen removed himself without the jurisdiction of this court, so that the process thereof cannot be served upon him, or if served he cannot be compelled to appear and answer or plead, and having thereupon prayed a hearing upon the facts charged in the said bill.
