Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on an moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and nu- merous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, naviga- ble to the Susquehanna.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehanna.
It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well water- ed meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, to- wards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement.
The Susquehanna affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city.
Another means of connection with Phi- ladelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every one miles square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians.
For further particulars apply to George Eddy.
Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phi- ladelphia, or to this place, or to Thomas Eddy, at New York, relative to this business, will be duly answered.

Christiana Mills
For Sale.
ON Monday the first day of September
next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the
Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia
will be sold by public vendue, two tract
or pieces of land situated in White Clay
Creek hundred, New Castle county and state
of Delaware, one of which contains about
sixty acres of highly improved land, on it
area a large two story brick dwelling house,
a convenient brick barn, with stabling and a
carriage house underneath, an excellent
kiln for drying corn; and the well known
mills called Christiana Mills (state pater- nion) which being at the head of the tide
on Christiana river, and but about half a
mile from the landing, is conveniently sit- uated for carrying the articles manufactured
at the mills by water to Philadelphia. This
property being close to the road leading
from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at
the head of the tide, with many other at- tractions, renders its situation for the
millinery business very valuable, as to bequeathed by law and exceeded by none.
The latter tract containing 175 acres, is
about one mile from the mills and is chiefly
woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills. The terms upon which the above men- tioned estates will be sold are—one thou- sand pounds to be paid on executing the deeds, and seven hundred and fifty pounds per annum, with interest for the remainder or proportionately for each part.

LETTER I.
IT has from the first establishment of your present constitution been predicted, that every occasion of serious embarrassment which should occur in the affairs of the government—every misfortune which it should experience, whether produced from its own faults or mistakes, or from other causes, would be the signal of an attempt to overthrow it, or to lay the foundation of its overthrow, by defeating the exercise of constitutional and necessary authorities.
Your firm attachment to the government you have established cannot be doubted.
If a proof of this were wanting to animate the confidence of your public agents, it would be sufficient to remark, that as often as any attempt to counteract its measures appear, it is carefully prepared by strong professions of friendship to the government, and disavowals of any intention to injure it.
It is therefore very important that you should clearly discern in the present instance, the shape in which a design of turning the existing insurrection to the prejudice of the government would naturally assume.
The design alluded to, if it shall be entertained, would not appear in an open justification of the principles or conduct of the insurgents, or in a direct diffusion from the support of the government.
The adversaries of good order in every country have too great a share of cunning, too exact a knowledge of the human heart, to pursue so unpromising a cause.
They would unite with good citizens, and perhaps be among the loudest in condemning the disorderly conduct of the insurgents.
It has been made subject matter of much conversation, in consequence of the late naval victory, respecting what proportion of men different ships of war carry.
First rate ships of the line, of from 100 to 120 guns, bearing an Admiral's flag, have 900 men, formerly 1000—French vessels of this force usually carry 1200; in an English first or second rate, there is usually an addition of between 20 and 50 men, if an Admiral be on board, and if a commander in chief, double that number.
Third and fourth rates which are ranked of the line, carrying 60, 64, 74 and eighty guns, have 500, 560, 630, and 700 men.
Fifth and sixth rates, that is to say, 44, 36, 32, 28, 24, and 20 gun ships,
is no foreseeing how or where it would end; that it is perhaps better to temper, and by mild means to allay the ferment and afterwards to remove the cause by repealing the exceptionable laws.
They would probably also propose, by anticipation of and in conceit with the views of the insurgents, plans of procrasination.
By these means, artfully to divert your attention from the true question to be decided, to combat by prejudices against a particular system, a just sense of the criminality and danger of violent resistance to the laws; to oppose the suggestion of misconduct on the part of government to the fact of misconduct on the part of the insurgents;
Virtuous and enlightened citizens of a now happy country! ye could not be the dupes of artifices so detectable, of a scheme so fatal; ye cannot be insensible to the destructive consequences with which it would be pregnant; ye cannot but remember that the government is YOUR OWN WORK
TULLY. Foreign Intelligence.
By the Ship ACTIVE, Captain BLAIR.
LONDON, June 20.
One of the letters from Brussels, of the 23d. states, that a rumour was the in circulation, that a part of the Prince of Cobourg's army had defeated the French at Charleroi, and forced them back into their own territories; and that the allies had regained possession of all the posts they had lost; but this can hardly be credited; for no date is given, and later advices in that case, must have been able to have come direct from that quarter.
In the present juncture, it will be difficult to obtain any intelligence at all to be depended upon, from the Netherlands.
Earl Moira arrived at Ostend on Wednesday night last. We have not learnt that he proceeded to land his troops.
It has been made subject matter of much conversation, in consequence of the late naval victory, respecting what proportion of men different ships of war carry.
First rate ships of the line, of from 100 to 120 guns, bearing an Admiral's flag, have 900 men, formerly 1000—French vessels of this force usually carry 1200; in an English first or second rate, there is usually an addition of between 20 and 50 men, if an Admiral be on board, and if a commander in chief, double that number.
Third and fourth rates which are ranked of the line, carrying 60, 64, 74 and eighty guns, have 500, 560, 630, and 700 men.
Fifth and sixth rates, that is to say, 44, 36, 32, 28, 24, and 20 gun ships,
carry 330, 300, 250, 230, 200, and 180 men, varying the number according to the weight of metal.
Sloops and cutters, of from 8 to 18 guns, have from 40 and 50 to 100 and 120 men.
The French on board all these different descriptions of vessels carrying a greater number of sailors in the proportion as above mentioned, of about 12 to 9.
So commanding is the new lighthouse, erected at Wicklow, that it can be seen at a very short distance from Holyhead, near sixty miles, if the atmosphere during the night shall not be clouded with fog or mist.
We yesterday stated, that one plain inference to be drawn from the very contradictory accounts from Flanders was, that the French were in such force in that quarter as to cut off all direct communication between places only a few miles asunder.
It is certain that Ypres surrendered more than a week ago, but respecting the particulars the advices are as contradictory, as for several days they were respecting the fact itself.
As soon as the French took possession of it, their General ordered a civic fête to be celebrated, at which all the inhabitants assisted.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
8 Prairial. Wednesday May 27.
A letter was read from a popular society, announcing the discovery of 600 marks of silver in a cave, belonging to an emigrant.
A decree was passed, by which a monthly succour was granted to the citizens of the countries conquered by the enemy, and to such as have been sent into the interior from besieged places.
A report of the situation of Geoffroi, who had been wounded by the assassin of Collot d'Herbois, was read, after which the Convention decreed, 1st, That Geoffroi should receive a pension of 1,530 livres; 2d. That a daily account of Geoffroi's situation should be presented to the Convention; and 3d. That the examination of the assassin Admiral and the sentence passed by the Revolutionary Tribunal, should be printed and translated into all languages.
REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL.
8 Prairial—27 May.
Admiral being placed at the bar of the Revolutionary Tribunal, was questioned as to his name, age, quality, and profession.
President of the revolutionary tribunal. What matters did you serve?
Bertin the minister, the Abbe, his brother and the female Bellestie, his sister, emigrants.
Pres. Were you not employed by the Tyrant at the Thuilleries with the grenadiers?
I was there every time the Gen. was beat.
Pres. Where were you on the 10th of August?
At the Thuilleries, with the battalion of the Filles St. Thomas and I considered it as my duty to obey Tassin's orders.
Pres. By whom were you appointed to a situation in the lottery?
By M. de Mauzy, Chamberlain to the Emperor, whom I saw for the last time in October 1789.
Pres. Whom did you keep company with at Paris, and have you not seen Anjubeau?
I was intimate with no person; I was acquainted with those who used to be at the coffee-houses.
Pres. How long ago did you see Anjubeau? On the day of my arrest.
Pres. What arms did you carry, and how long did you carry them?
A firelock given me some time ago by the Captain of my company.
Pres. Why did you purchase those pistols?
To execute a project which I had formed.
Pres. What was this project?
To assassinate Robespierre and Collot d'Herbois.
Pres. What attempts did you make to assassinate them?
For three days I sought an opportunity of assassinating Robespierre.
At the end of the sitting I retired under the porch which leads from the hall of the Convention to the place where the committee assembled, under a pretence of hearing the news, but really for the purpose of waiting for Robespierre, and of discharging a pistol at him.
I afterwards went home to my lodgings, at No. 4, in the Rue Favart, and formed the resolution of assassinating Collot d'Herbois.
Pres. Why did you wish to assassinate Collot d'Herbois?
Because I was urged thereto by my conscience—I repent that I failed in the execution of my design.
Pres. Whence did you derive those resources which enabled you to enter into experiences, which your situation did not seem to afford?
From economy and the sale of my effects.
Pres. Did you not wound a citizen?
On returning to my room, I loaded my arms, opened, shut, and opened my door again, and discharged my firelock on the first person who approached.
Admiral having declared that the above examination was strictly true, signed it.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, August 16.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman, belonging to this town, now residing at Rotterdam, dated May 30th, 1794.
A majority of this nation appear to have a just idea of the value of liberty, and reprobate the war now carried on against the French; but in arbitrary governments public opinion is but of little avail, provided it militates with the despot who rules; and it is not
until the people are driven to extremes that they rouse in support of their rights.
"The dread of tyrants, and the sole resource Of those that under grim oppression groan."
"About 10 days ago I was informed of the Embargo, laid by Congress on all vessels destined for a foreign port, and of the general dissatisfaction that prevailed in America, in consequence of so many of our vessels being captured by the English."
"Indeed, from every appearance, it does not require a profound politician to say in whose favor the present campaign will terminate, and any one who has lately been in France, and knows the exertions and resources of that wonderful nation, must think the plan of conquering them as wild & quixotic as that of the Crusaders in the 11th century."
"In thus expressing my opinion of the absurd attempt of the combined powers, I would not for a moment, be supposed to justify every thing the French have done."

that they are invested by the strongest powers in Europe, who are trying every thing that force and treachery can do, to establish despotism in France—while a numerous host of nobles, clergy and their adherents are continually conspiring against the Republic: No one must wonder at the frequent executions, or at the arbitrary power now exercised in France; but when the Combined Powers are considered to be the cause, every American must be inclined to pardon the French for the effects.
While the horrors of war are raging with unexampled violence on the frontiers of France, a new scene is opening in the Republic of Poland. You will have heard before this reaches you, of the insurrection which took place on the 17th of April; the object of which appears to be the re-establishment of the Constitution of May 1791, and the recovery of the territory torn from them by the cruel hand of despotism. The latest accounts from Poland, state the insurgents (as they are yet called) to be very numerous, and it is said by some the patriotic General in chief, Kosciuscov, will soon have under his command 200,000 men.
General Kosciuscov has served under the banners of liberty in our army. He is said to possess great military talents; and to be as prudent as he is brave. With these qualities, actuated by patriotism, and aided by a brave people, there is great reason to hope he will be successful, and prove the Washington of Poland, and I am sure there is no harm in saying God grant it !”
Col. Centinel.
PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 23.
The British commanders in Nova-Scotia, have given orders for the entire destruction of the town of St. Pierre, Miquelon: And a few days since a number of the distressed inhabitants of that place arrived at Boston, in their fishing smacks.
Some particulars of William Newton, Esq. an English gentleman, formerly Col. of the National Guards; lately beheaded at Paris.
THIS unfortunate victim to national vengeance was born in the county of Northumberland of a most reputable family; his military ardor soon procured him a commission at an early age. The war breaking out soon after between Russia and Sweden, he went over and entered himself a volunteer under the banners of the Black Eagle. He soon had an opportunity of distinguishing himself in the memorable naval combat between those powers; his courage and prowess though hemmed in on every side by the enemy was the theme of all the Russian soldiery, which coming to the ears of the Empress she rewarded him with the cross of the order of Merit.
He however soon after retired in disgust from the jealousy of a brother officer, and went over to Sweden, where he was soon recognized, and his military genius made known to the King, who appointed him to the command of a division of a fleet of gun-boats then actually under falling orders against that of Russia—whose service he had just quitted. Here again he signalized his valor under the eye of majesty, he was even charged with temerity, but that temerity was so tempered with judgment, followed by such a complete victory over an enemy much his superior, that his Swedish majesty conferred on him personally a mark of royal favor. The campaign finishing, he returned to England but could not succeed in his military career of honor. The Revolution taking place in France, we soon after finding him petitioning the Convention for a grade in which he succeeded, and he was appointed a Colonel in the national guards; his conduct caught the attention of Gen. Santerre, who remarking his republican sentiments, and finding him a Bon Vivant like himself, appointed him with Du-Gazon the comedian, his aid-du-camp, and he accompanied Santerre during the execution of the king.
War being soon after declared against England, he gave up his commission and retired with a pension of twelve hundred livres a year—since when, we hear nothing of him more than that of his living a recluse life among a few select. He was fond of his bottle, generous to his unfortunate countrymen,—open in his sentiments—perhaps unguardedly so at the present crisis—giving way to spontaneous opinion—perhaps his only crime—he simply negatived!—and yet France is a free country!!!
A TRAVELLER.
Capt. Sullivan in the schooner John, from Jamaica, was boarded off the Havanna
by Captain Earl of this city, who gave him a memorandum of which the following is a copy.
“Capt. Sullivan is desired to say on his arrival at Philadelphia, that he spoke Capt. Earl off the Havanna, all well, taken five prizes, to return to Charleston in ten days.”
(Signed)
JOHN EARL.
July 21st, 1794. Captain Sullivan mentions that Capt. Earl was then in a sloop of 14 guns, (one of the prizes.) On the 11th he fell in with ten English frigates, ten leagues S. E. of Cape Hatteras, and was boarded by one, the officer of which informed him, that they were the fleet which had left Guadalupe, and were bound to the Chesapeake. The accounts by the Morning Star, confirm this, and state further, that Admiral Jervis had actually sailed for England.
Mr. Fenno,
Please insert the following in your paper.
A Contagious disease having carried off a considerable number of horses in this city, and there being at this time a number intended; your publishing the following receipt may save the lives of many of those useful animals. It having been given with great success in the neighborhood of Redstone, at a time a similar disease seemed likely to destroy the whole species viz—
Drench the horse with two ounces of Bark, and in half an hour give him half a gallon of warm water, the next day drench him again with two ounces of Bark and two ounces of Allspice powdered, and as before half a gallon of warm water, on the next day give him two ounces of Allspice, and as before the warm water.
Bleed the horse and then give him 40 grains of Calomel mixed with gun-powder.
By this Day's Mail.
BOSTON, August 11.
Arrived in our harbour yesterday morning, the copper bottomed ship Margaret, Captain James Magee, in 6 months from Canton: she flopped at St. Helena. Captain Magee failed from this port in October 1791, on a laudable enterprise to the North West Coast of America.—While we announce the return of this ship from a long and hazardous voyage, we hope that the truly honorable exertions of the Captain and merchants concerned, are crowned, with complete success.—The Physician of the ship died with the small pox at Canton.
WINCHESTER, Virg. August 18. By late accounts from the westward; we are informed, that the rioters of Pennsylvania do not confine their operations to their own State: they have visited Morgan-Town, and ordered the Collector there residing to resign his office and papers, or they would come and destroy them with all his property—they also sent him a letter, with a fictitious signature, informing him, that on such a night they would pay him a visit:—on such repeated threats, the Collector, with the advice of his friends, judged it prudent to decamp—which he accordingly did, bringing with him his records, &c. Agreeably to their notice, a number visited his house, the night preceding that appointed, but luckily were disappointed of their intended object.
We are happy to hear, that a very few only of the Virginians approve these rebellious proceedings of their neighbours, and it is to be hoped their prudence will continue to guard them from associating in measures, that must terminate in the punishment of those persons who are guilty of such illegal conduct.
From the Knoxville Gazette, July 17.
Among the deputation from the Cherokee nation to Congress, which the Philadelphia Printer styles respectable , is Tugalatague, alias Double-Head, a signer to the treaty of Holston, the first who violated it by killing the two nephews of General Sevier, shortly after; and from that time has continued to kill and steal until the murder of Thomas S. Spencer, at the Crab Orchard, in April last, a few days before his departure for Philadelphia.
Prior to the 26th day of June, 75 warriors of the Chickasaw and Choctaw nation had arrived at General Wayne's camp; since that period 30 others have passed Nashville, on their way to join him, and unite their arms with those of the United States, against the northern tribes.
Upwards of one hundred more of the Chickasaws had actually marched for General Wayne's head quarters, under the command of Captain William Colbert, and George Auguilla, the latter of whom had reached Nashville, but was recalled by their nation, to defend it against a threatened invasion of the Creeks.
The upper Cherokees continue to give assurances and proofs of their pre-
fering peace to war, by forbearing to kill and steal; by giving information of the hostile acts of the lower towns; and of the hostile intentions of the Creeks. The lower Cherokees not only decline to give even verbal assurances of peace, but evince, by acts of hostility, a determination for war.
ALBANY, August 16.
We have undoubted authority to say, that the Senecas, and, in general, all the Indians of the Six Nations, continue to evince a friendly disposition towards the United States. Judge Phelps has lately held a treaty with the Senecas, on his private business; at which were present several of the principal chiefs and most influential characters of that nation. They expressed a very high regard for Mr. Phelps, and assured him of their firm intentions of continuing in amity and friendship with this country: And as a convincing proof of their sincerity, some of them have already sent their cows into the Genesee settlements, to the care of General Chapin, for safety—fearing a rupture between the English and us, or that their country would be invaded by the hostile Indians from the West.

St. JOHN's, (Antigua) July 14.
The failure of the British troops against Point-a-Petre was owing, as we are informed, to an error in the execution of General Grey's orders by Gen. Symes, which were, to attack the heights above Fleur d'Epee, and if successful, to fire a rocket, as a signal to General Grey who intended to storm the fort in person;—but unfortunately after the British troops had gained the heights without the loss of a man, and upon the appearance of whom, the French abandoned Fleur d'Epee. General Symes marched against the town, exposed to the incessant fire of grape-shot from two 6 pounders, and notwithstanding the number of the killed, British courage surmounted every obstacle, and actually took the two pieces of cannon; but upon entering the town, they were fired at from the roofs and windows of houses, as well as from cannon planted in almost every street, which annoyed the troops so much that they were constrained to retreat with considerable loss in killed and wounded.
We are informed that the French at Grandetere, treat the English prisoners with every degree of humanity, and, as it is said, they had not a sufficient number of Surgeons to attend the wounded, they dispatched a flag to Gen. Grey, requesting that proper persons might be sent to take care of them.
LONDON, June 26.
The important mission of Mr. Willis, lately appointed Consul General of Senegambia, is expected to be advantageous to this country; its object is to open the communication between the Gambia and the Niger, to supply the rich and populous nations on their banks with British and East-India manufactures, and to bring their products in return into the bosom of the Thames.—Many truly important discoveries are expected also from penetrating into a country so little known, and already has British investigation ascertained the existence of a Carthaginian Colony.
From the Baltimore Daily Advertiser.
Mr. EDWARDS,
THIS town has been for some months under the scandal that two riots were committed therein, in noon-day; but time, that always discovers the truth, has vindicated our reputation, and proved that the reports were void of foundation in truth. At the late criminal court, the chief justice gave in charge to the grand jury, to inquire after all persons concerned in two riots, which he laid had taken place in this town on the first and second day of May last, and then learnedly explained the law respecting riots. A great number of witnesses were sworn to the jury, and after a long and diligent inquiry, no man was discovered who had any hand in any offence against the laws, which could be called a riot, or any breach of the peace. Indeed, Mr. Edwards, I always considered the report as a scandal on the town, and calculated to injure its reputation for good order, peaceable and quiet deportment, and obedience to government and its laws. It is not denied (for it was published in our newspapers) that two men were cated through the streets, tarred and feathered, on the morning and afternoon of the first and second day of May last, but all the citizens can testify that it was done without any disorder, much less a riot. The whole affair was conducted with great order and decency, and to the great pleasure and entertainment of all the citizens (except a few proud aristocrats) who cordially joined in approving, by huzzaing and other tokens of applause. The first man was ornamented with a coat of tar and feathers, for insulting the majesty of the people of America, by reverting the American flag. No law has appointed any punishment for such infamous conduct; and the people alone had the right to determine the guilt of the accused, and to inflict what punishment they pleased. The second man was an American pirate; he had been in a British privateer, and assisted to plunder his American brethren. It was not known whether his crime was punishable by any law, but it was very evident that no punishment could be inflicted in time to satisfy the feelings of an enraged and virtuous people. A judge may call any act of the people he pleases a riot, but his ipse dixit will not make it so. It is our happiness to live under a government in which a grand jury have a right to differ in opinion from a learned judge (and so the chief justice declared in his charge) and that too without fear of fine or imprisonment. A grand jury is composed of men who profess the same feelings with their fellow-citizens, and they will always be cautious how they expose their friends and neighbours to fine and imprisonment by judges who may, in some instances, be disposed to gratify their personal resentments, under a pretence of supporting the laws.
I never did believe that any witnesses would appear against captain St—— or Captain St——; and I should have been very sorry to have seen L. W., I. W., W. P., and G. H., the four men who applied the tar and feathers, exposed to heavy fines and long imprisonment, to the ruin of themselves and families.—I hope there will be no occasion for the people to administer justice to the refugees, British agents, aristocrats, and other enemies of America, but when necessary, I hope they will not be intimidated by an angry rigid judge, but rely on the integrity and patriotic spirit of a grand jury. My signature is despised by the well-born paper Lords, and proud aristocrats, but I glory in it.
A DEMOCRAT.
From Winter and Cary's paper published at Frederick Town Maryland.
To the ENEMIES of ANARCHY:
Report says that the leaders of the Pennsylvania Insurgents, now in arms, are sending their emissaries into the towns for the purpose of buying up arms and ammunition; and that some of those emissaries have already been purchasing in Hagerstown and in this place. If they are indulged in this practice a little longer we may soon expect to hear they have gone a step further. Having other uses for money, they will soon determine that it is less convenient to rob than to purchase, and their friends will soon inform them where a few enterprising men can obtain sufficient supplies at once. Does it not therefore behove the friends of order to keep a look out?
It requires not the spirit of inspiration to foretell that the Government of the United States is the real object of the Insurgents—To be convinced of this, it is only necessary for those who doubt, to look into the characters of the leaders, and they will soon discover the whilky it only given out for the purpose of intoxicating the multitude, and that ANTIFEDERALISM will be their order of march.
If Government, in any form, is considered as a blessing to the governed, the
friends of our government ought to act with unanimity and firmness on the present occasion.
CITIZEN.
To the Printers of the Knoxville Gazette
Gentlemen, The publishing the following account of a wonderful animal, lately discovered in the Cumberland Mountain, may be acceptable to the curious, and oblige a constant reader, it being a fact.
IN February last, a detachment of mounted infantry, commanded by Capt. John Beaird, penetrated fifteen miles into the Cumberland Mountain: On Cove Creek, ensign McDonald and another man, in advance of the party as spies, they discovered a creature about three steps from them; it had only two legs, and stood almost upright, covered with scales, of a black, brown, and a light yellow colour, in spots like rings, a white tuft or crown on the top of its head, about four feet high, a head as big as a two pound stone, and large eyes, of a fiery red. It stood about three minutes in a daring posture, (orders being given not to fire a gun except at Indians) Mr. McDonald advanced and struck at with his sword, when it jumped up, at least, eight feet, and lit on the same spot of ground, sending forth a red kind of matter out of its mouth resembling blood, and then retreated into a laurel thicket, turning round often, as if it intended to fight. The tracks of it resembled that of a goose, but larger. The Indians report, that a creature inhabits that part of the mountain, of the above description, which, by its breath, will kill a man, if he does not instantly immerse himself in water.
From the General Advertiser.
Mr. Bachet,
I have seen my name twice in the General Advertiser, affixed to notifications for meetings of the Democratic Society. As this has been done without either my direction, consent or previous knowledge, I think it proper to request that you will be so obliging as to suppress the publication of my name, in future, to whatever paper it may be signed, unless subscribed in my own hand writing.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary- land, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Caro- lina, and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie. N.B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet publish- ed, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map.

Should any ration be required at any place or within other districts, not specified in these proposals, the price of the same is to be hereafter agreed on between the United States and the contractor.

One pound of bread or flour, One pound of beef, or 3/4 of a pound of pork, One quart of salt, Two quarts of vinegar, } per 100 rations. Two pounds of soap, One pound of candles, }  The rations are to be furnished in such quantities, as that there shall at all times, during the said term, be sufficient for the consumption of the troops at each of the said posts, for the term of at least three months in advance, in good and wholesome provisions, if the same shall be required. It is to be understood in each case, that all losses sustained by the depredations of the enemy, or by means of the troops of the United States, shall be paid for at the prices of the articles captured or destroyed, on the depredations of two or more persons of creditable characters, and the certificate of a commissioned officer, ascertaining the circumstances of the loss, and the amount of the articles for which compensation shall be claimed. The contract for the above supplies will be made either for one year, or for two years, as may appear eligible. Persons disposed to contract will therefore confine
their proposals so as to admit an election of the term of two years. The offers may comprise all the places which have been specified, or a part of them only. It is also Desired, that proposals may be offered for supplying the two posts of Fort Washington and Pittsburgh, all the rations necessary for the main Army, its detachments and the Gar- rison above mentioned during the said year 1795. The provisions &c. which will be received at Pittsburgh will be those which shall be necessary for the troops at that place and at the posts north, north-west and, in the vicinity, on the west thereof. The provisions which will be received at Fort Washington will be those which shall be required for the remainder of the posts, for the principal detachments and for the main Army. The expense and trouble of safe keeping, unpacking and issuing the provisions deliverable under this second form of the proposition, will be saved to the Contractors. The exact proportion of the whole supplies, which will be required at each of the two Posts of Fort Wash- ington and Pittsburgh will be determined at the time of executing the contract. Aug. 21 tawto

One thousand Dollars REWARD. Some few Counterfeit Post Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately discov- ered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter B. for their alphabe- tical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters, in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourish of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure. No true Post Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately is- sued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dol- lars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following descriptions, viz. The person or persons, who engraved the late. The printer, or printers of the said bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.

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