GAFFER GRAY.
BY MR. HOLCROFT.
HO! why dost thou shiver and shake,
Gaffer Gray;
And why doth thy nose look so blue?
'Tis the weather that's cold;
'Tis I'm grown very old,
And my doublet is not very new,
Well-a-day!
Then line thy worn doublet with ale,
Gaffer Gray;
And warm thy old heart with a glass.
'Nay but credit I've none;
And my money's all gone;
Then lay how that come to pass?
Well-a-day!
Hie away to the house on the brow,
Gaffer Gray;
And knock at the jolly priest's door.
'The priest often preaches
Against worldly riches,
But ne'er gives a mite to the poor,
Well-a-day!
The lawyer lives under the hill,
Gaffer Gray;
Warmly fenc'd both in back and in front.
'He will fatten his hocks,
And will threaten the stocks,
Should he ever more find me in want,
Well-a-day!
The squire has fat beeves and brown ale,
Gaffer Gray;
And the season will welcome you there.
'His fat beeves and his beer,
And his merry new year,
Are all for the flush and fair,
Well-a-day!
My keg is but low, I confess,
Gaffer Gray;
What then? while it lasts man, we'll live.
The poor man alone,
When he hears the poor moan,
Of his morsel a morsel will give,
Well-a-day!
The following article without essential variation will apply to four other Editors. It is taken from the Eastern Shore Advertiser, printed at Wilmington Delaware.
To the Editor of the Delaware Gazette.
SIR,
Your address to the public, on the commencement of your editorship, led me to expect a publication replete with useful information. Your declarations persuaded me to believe that your sentiment of justice would restrain you from the promulgation of every thing injurious to truth, of every opinion which should not augment the mass of public virtue and knowledge. I presume, Sir, however widely you may have deviated from your avowed design, that you will not permit your spirit of contradiction to hurry you so far beyond the limits of common prudence, as to oppose this construction of your address.
I am authorized, by your own acknowledgment, to believe that an Editor of a public paper, is to be regarded as the parent of his publication.
Do you really think, that in the capacity of an Editor, you have never overstep'd the line of propriety? I charge, it home to your conscience, Sir—have you never, either by omissions or otherwise, dishonoured the dignity of virtue—never violated the majesty of truth? If the bitter reflections, the bold accusations which you have heaped upon the federal government and some of its most respectable officers, proceed from a mind animated by virtue, and eager to be active for the public good, then shall your conscience smile a calm and self-applausive reply to my appeal. But if your censorious temper arise from a natural propensity to malign mankind, an inherent antipathy to the prosperity of our country, or a mind impelled by a passion, like one of the heroes of Schiller's banditti, to torture and to desolate, how severe must be your solitary reflections, how embittered with misery your self-meditations!
Howsoever deformed may appear your motives to action, that charity which ought to be exercised between man and man, induces me to attribute your conduct to causes less unamiable than those which I have suggested.
There have been, for a long time, roving about these states, small bands of violent and discontented spirits, whose poverty or ambition would be gratified by the salaries or honours of offices under our republic. They perceive that our citizens, are not generally so totally ignorant of the qualities requisite in their public officers, as to bestow their honours and rewards on persons destitute of virtue, and unimproved by knowledge. With minds, which present to the eye, a prospect dreary as the wildernesses of Africa, whose barren soil pours out no salutary spring, yields no solitary plant of invigorating or restorative virtue—without integrity to command confidence, without talents to attract regard, their sole dreadful hope, like that of Milton's arch fiend; is derived from despair. They endeavour to poison, by distrust, the heart of the people, to shake their faith from those whom they have chosen to promulgate their will, and exercise their powers. They strain every feeble nerve to break aunder the chain of the union, to overturn the fabric of our government. Their liars of discord have long been abroad working in silence and darkness. But now, with furious temerity, they rush into day, and run about muttering their witcheries, presuming that their spirit of malignity will at last diffuse itself, and inflame the temper of the people into rebellion and civil war. In times of such lamentable confusion, when the heart of a nation is bleeding, the souls of the good and wise are often overwhelmed with sudden grief; but the wicked, who behold scenes of individual or general calamity without commiseration, are at liberty to exert their feeble powers, to take advantage of the mournful disorder. They prowl about seizing the prey before them, and triumph with a barbaric ferocity in the general uproar.
Such appear to be the designs of the present revilers of public measures. Every supporter of good order is the object of their hatred and abuse. Every law created for the safety of the people—every new bulwark which is erected for the security of our liberty—all men, all opinions which serve to
establish, more firmly, our constitution, and ensure us permanent tranquility, are attacked by their malignant sophistry, assailed by their clamorous calumny.
Be advised, Sir, by one who is the enemy only of folly and vice, to exercise your sagacity—to consult your understanding. Look around you—behold the people directing their scrutinizing eyes towards you and your fellow-labourers. It cannot be long before they must discover your arts. The time is at hand, when plots so pregnant with horrible designs, shall stand displayed to their astonished sight. Their indignation shall palsy the heart of faction, and stamp its visage with dismay. Detestation and ruin shall pursue the sons of political iniquity through the Union! Guilt—self-scourging guilt, conscious of detection, shall haunt them in their most secret retirement, and inflict a dose of anguish upon their disappointed hearts!
Examine yourself, Sir,—are you sufficiently hardy to bear the displeasure of your fellow citizens? Is honorable pride so thoroughly extinguished—are your nerves deadened to such inflexibility, that you can stare, with eyes unabashed, upon the honest indignation of those whom you, and your co-workers, have endeavoured to deceive and mislead? Have your unwearied arts and vicious violence expelled Conscience, the vicegerent of Heaven, from your bosom? Have you no apprehensions that your foul may be saluted with the voice of his unappeasable displeasure?—Beware, Sir—consider what you are about—behold the ground on which you stand! Learn to know that impotent malice is equally foolish and criminal. Impress it upon your memory, that Truth and Virtue are not merely words—not shadows of visions but have a real and eternal existence; and remember that their violators finally work their own inconfolable ruin.
Nov. 2. BRUTUS.
INTERESTING PARTICULARS,
Of the trial and execution of those members of the National Convention, who instigated and favored the last insurrection in Paris, on the 1st of Prairial.
MILITARY COMMISSION.
EACH of the accused, eight in number, viz. Gilbert Romme, aged 45; Jean Michel Duroy, aged 41; Jean Marie Claude Alexandre Gougeon, aged 29; Pierre Jacques Foretier, aged 56; Pierre Bourbotte, aged 32; Ernest Dominique Francois Joseph Duquesnoy, aged 47; Pierre Amable Soubrany, aged 42; Jean Paschal Charles Peyssard, aged 40; was at first brought in separately to be confronted with his accusers, seated in a chair in front of the President, and guarded by two grenadiers with naked sabres. They had not all the same degree of assurance, nor the same system of defence.
Romme denied almost all the motions he had made. He attacked the exactitude of the Monitor, and the fidelity of the Editor who had taken down the minutes of the sitting. During the whole trial he hardly raised his eyes. He was pale and wan; fear was painted in his countenance; he seemed to concentrate himself, and shrink as if he was afraid of being approached. Naturally more ugly than Marat, his features inspired aversion and disgust, for he had not, like the pretended "friend of the people," that grotesque air which always excited laughter.
Duroy came next; his manner was mild and submissive; he seemed to expect much from the humble style he had adopted. His system of defence was quite opposed to that of Romme, who had denied every thing: Duroy confessed every thing. Romme accused the Monitor of infidelity: Duroy acknowledged it right even to the very words; he even praised the exactitude of the Editor, in several things not mentioned by any other witness. He entered into some details of his political life. He spoke of his missions into Calvados, and the department of the Lower Rhine. He declared he had never caused one drop of blood to be spilt; that he had only once caused some Federalists to be arrested to save them and to appease the clamours of the Jacobins, who accused him of protecting the partisans of Buzot. He spoke a great deal, and in every thing he said appeared anxious to conciliate the favour of his Judges, and the pity of the public.
Duquesnoy denied almost every thing. He was recovering from a severe fit of sickness, in which he had lost the greatest part of his hair. He appeared yet in pain, and seemed to think he had not long to live.
Bourbotte saluted with grace, and inclined his body almost every time he answered his Judges; looked often at the ladies who were among the spectators, spoke with affection, and played incessantly with his snuff box. He affirmed that he did not support the motions made by Romme, Gougeon, Duroy, &c. in the evening sitting of the 1st of Prairial, that he had only proposed to arrest those journalists who poisoned the public mind. And as to any thing else which escaped him, he offered as an excuse, that his head was heated by several glasses of wine which he had just drunk. During his whole trial he preserved a serene and cheerful air.
Gougeon had a certain sullen composure, and a ferocious, though down cast look. He tried to embarrass the witnesses and make them fall into contradictions. Like Romme, he suffered some personalities to escape him against the witnesses, and like him appeared to think that his affair would not have a favorable issue.
Soubrany knowing himself to be before the men on whom his fate depended, had no longer that lofty and disdainful air, which he always carried in the hall of the Convention. He was very candid and decent in his defence. He even owned himself the author of a motion which no body had attributed to him, and which every body thought had been made by Duquesnoy.
Peyssard seemed to try to overawe the witnesses; he put on a bold face, and affected a haughty look. He denied having cried victory when the rebels obtained a momentary advantage over the citizens who delivered the Convention in the night of the 1st and 2nd of Prairial. Peyssard seemed however, to be reconciled to his fate, and to be very
careless about what might be the decision of his Judges.
Foretier answered to any thing proposed by referring to his written defence and to his interrogatory: He did not appear to be in very good spirits.
The 28th Prairial, at 3 o'clock, p. m. the examinations being terminated, the sitting was adjourned until the morrow. The 29th, at half past 12 at noon, the Commission ordered the eight accused to appear before them. They were brought, and standing before their Judges, from whom they were separated by the secretary's table and six grenadiers, the secretary read to them the judgment of the Commission. Romme, Duquesnoy, Duroy, Bourbotte, Soubrany, and Gougeon, representatives of the people, having been convicted on the fullest evidence of being the authors, fators and abettors of the dreadful events which took place on the 1st of Prairial, of having conspired against the republic, provoked the dissolution of the Convention, the assassination of its members, attempted by every means, to organize revolt and civil war, and to revive all the horrors of the tyranny which preceded the fall of Robespierre—were condemned to DEATH—ordered to be delivered over to the executioner of the criminal judgments, and to be executed the same day on the Square of the Revolution.
Peyssard not having shown the same spirit of rebellion, was condemned to banishment only. Foretier, as he did not take a very active part in the revolt, though inculpated as having favoured it, was ordered to remain in prison until the Committee of General Welfare should take cognizance of his case.
After sentence was read, Foretier laughed, Gougeon laid his portrait on the table, desiring it might be sent to his wife.
Duquesnoy also delivered a letter which he said contained his farewell to his wife and friends. "I wish," said he, "my blood may be the last innocent blood that may be shed; may it consolidate the Republic! Vive la République!"
"The enemies of liberty," said Bourbotte, have alone demanded my life. My last prayers, my last sigh shall be for my country."
The condemned then put on the tables their certificates of deputies—their pocket books, &c. to be sent to their families. They were then carried out, and as they descended the stairs they stabbed themselves with knives and scissars. Bourbotte as he struck himself said, "See how a brave man can die." They had among them all, only two knives and an old pair of scissars, which they used one after the other. The were immediately led into the room on the lower floor, which had before served them for a prison. An officer soon brought to the President of the Commission the two knives and scissars, and announced that five of the condemned had stabbed themselves.
The President then read the order given by the commission the evening before and even that morning, to search the accused and take from them their knives, scissars and other cutting instruments; and to search even their beds. It is thought that they concealed the instruments they used, in the lining of their cloaths.
The commandant of the post was instantly arrested. A health officer was called for to verify the state of the condemned, and say if they could live to be carried from the prison to the place of punishment. He announced that Romme, Gougeon, and Duquesnoy were already dead. Romme had wounded himself deeply, not only in the body, but in the neck and even in the face; he was so covered with blood that he could hardly be recognized.
Gougeon seemed to have died writhing with torment; for his face and above all his lips were contracted in a very remarkable manner. Of the three who were carried to place of execution, Soubrany appeared the most wounded. He stabbed himself in his right side, and had lost so much blood that he was nearly exhausted; and covered with blood he lay quite extended in the bottom of the cart.
The countenance of Duroy was as usual.—Bourbotte showed the most courage. He sat upright and looked around him.
Before they came out of the tribunal, Duroy said, "The assassins enjoy their work! How unhappy I am that my blow failed! Were those hands made to be tied by the executioner? Be merry Messieurs les Aristocrates!" He then broke out in abusive language only against the persons who were in the hall.
Soubrany said "Let me die." When arrived at the square of the revolution, he was obliged to be lifted on the scaffold.
Bourbotte who suffered the last, gave in that extreme moment a new proof of the courage which had not abandoned him during the whole course of his trial. While they were tying him to the plank, he talked to the people around the scaffold. At the instant he was levelled to receive the fatal stroke, it was perceived that the axe had not been remounted; he was accordingly turned over, to raise the instrument, and he employed that short time in yet speaking to those around him. He said he died innocent and wished the republic might prosper.
The condemned were escorted by a regiment of cavalry. One battalion of infantry was placed in observation in the Elysian fields, and another on the bridge of the Revolution.
Such was the end of these men.
August 24.
Legendre has accused Madam Stael, lady of the Swedish Ambassador, and daughter of the celebrated Necker, of giving splendid dinners to the deputies of the Convention, and of intriguing with them, in favour of the emigrants; in whose favour she has written several very spirited and pathetic pieces.—This cowardly attack upon her lady, was very properly noticed by the Swedish Ambassador, who immediately rose and retired.
Bon Mot. Madam Stael being told, that Legendre, in the Convention, had compared her to Circe, replied, "I can easily credit the assertion, for I have changed him into a beast."

ALTONA, August 28.
The French Consul at Hamburg, M. Lagus, presented on the 25th inst. in the name of the French government, a memoir to the Senate of that city, wherein he forcibly insists on the French emigrants, who still reside there in great numbers, being ordered to leave the town; and demands, that in return for so many proofs of friendship received from the French Republic, that city should declare itself more friendly to the interests of the French Republicans. The French minister at Copenhagen, Citizen Grouvell, is the author of this memoir, to which the Senate of Hamburg will return an answer in the course of next week. There remains but little doubt, that all the French emigrants will be ordered to quit the place.
NEW-YORK COMMITTEE of HEALTH.
Fellow Citizens,
But three persons have died on the last four days in this city, and but three at Bellevue since the 27th of October, of fever, in any degree resembling our late Epidemic.
The alarming situation in which this city has lately been, is calculated to excite the most serious reflections—to inspire feelings of veneration for that all controlling power who in the midst of such judgment remembers mercy!—We trust that it has been under a sentiment of grateful dependence on him, that we have been encouraged to fulfil the duties you had entrusted: And we trust that while congratulations are repeated upon returning seasons of health, all hearts may be disposed to improve to moral and virtuous purposes both the threatening and facilitating dispensations of Heaven. Your Committee at this period cheerfully recognize those principles of undeviating veracity, which during the increasing terror of their fellow citizens, directed their daily reports respecting the progress of the disease.—It is with great satisfaction they have found it evinced by their experience, that such exact details as they have made to the public, instead of increasing those terrors, have tended in a great measure to subdue them; and the accomplishment of this is of immense importance to public happiness and convenience & fear mitigates its objects.—During the existence of a calamity of this kind, circumstances will be ever exaggerated, by the timidity and credulity of individuals.
It is to be lamented, however, that, falsehoods have been propagated from the basest, meanest, and most despicable motives—by some as an apology for their panic apprehensions—by others, from the sensibilities of self interest, and to gratify a sordid lust of gain.—Lies have been propagated for the sake of the wonderful, and the excitement of surprise, by persons ungenerously forgetful of the extensive mischiefs naturally originating from this source—Defeats—defection—poverty—famine and death!
Perhaps an ill judged tenderness for their reputation has prevented the publication of the names of some offenders. Had the falsehoods repeated with great confidence in the country, had any proper foundation, our city would long since have been nearly desolated.
We turn with pleasure to the recollection of circumstances more creditable to humanity; and to acknowledge the liberty of those of our fellow citizens who have contributed to alleviate the distresses of the sick and suffering poor. The generous interferences of sympathy from Philadelphia, and some neighbouring villages, demand our lasting gratitude: Such instances of mutual good will and beneficence remain grateful memorials of the fraternity of a free and virtuous people.
From these resources, 8837 dollars have been received; and your committee feel a responsibility in the faithful and just distribution. Its proper objects being numerous, and often probably not within the sphere of their individual knowledge, each of the members of the committee is associated with two respectable citizens in seeking out the sick, and relieving those to whom their charity is directed.
Circumstances have not been wanting to shew the happy influence of temperance, cleanliness, and
cold upon the late Epidemic. But while we rejoice that benevolent nature has given power to these agents to set bounds to its ravages, let us recollect that they are affluently to be employed. We feel it incumbent on us to remind our fellow citizens of this truth, particularly those who are returning from the country. Houses which have contained the sick, should be carefully ventilated; and things that have been employed by them, that cannot conveniently be cleansed by water, should be subjected freely to the action of cold.
It is not impossible that neglect in these particulars may occasion a few solitary instances of this disease, until we have experienced intense frost. For though we flatter ourselves it is extinguished as an epidemic, and our streets free from infection, we have by our experience of other places to impress the necessity of such precautions.
Among the arrangements made by the committee to prevent the spread of infectious disease, they consider early interments and the use of the hearse, as one of the most important. Satisfactory proofs of its utility might be detailed. It is to be wished that the good sense of the community might be excited to conquer any prejudices which may remain in opposition to a practice of burial so much more convenient than the common mode, and so much more safe.
The present state of Bellevue hospital is pleasing; not only from it we anticipate the speedy extinction of all disease therein, but from the happy and comfortable situation of the sick, and from the satisfaction expressed by them, with respect to their medical aid and attendance. But 3 new patients have been received during the last 10 days. There are now 13 sick in the hospital, 12 of whom are considered as out of all danger. Since its first establishment 89 persons have been discharged cured; the deaths have been published with our daily reports.
It is with great satisfaction that we remark, that altho some of the people who have been employed in attending this hospital, have been slightly affected with the Epidemic, no one has died.
Much to the injury of the unfortunate persons who have been sent to this place, its circumstances have been sometimes grossly misrepresented. The sick have, in consequence, in numerous instances, sought this asylum with hearts aching with anxiety and despair.
A senior consulting physician, was early appointed to visit it occasionally from this city.—From its first establishment one, and since the 24th of September two physicians have constantly resided within its walls. A new building has been erected during the sickness, and no expense has been spared to render the sick commodious and happy. A committee from this board have made frequent visits and examination of its circumstances, and, from time, have witnessed, with pleasure, its improving state.
A more vigilant, humane or attentive man, was never appointed Surveyor to an hospital, than our late worthy member Mr. Fred. Stymets, whose death reminds us of the loss of our other friend and associate, Dr. M. Treat, who, there is reason to suspect, was also a victim to the discharge of faithful duty. The public will join with us in deploring the loss of such worthy and respectable members of society.
Before we dismiss the subject of the hospital, it is but just that we acknowledge our sense of the merit of Dr. Alexander Anderson, and Dr. M c Farlin, resident physicians at Bellevue*. Both for their persevering attention, humanity and fidelity to the sick, they have deserved well of their country.
The committee being employed in arranging expenditures, and in the settlement of accounts, request that all persons having demands upon them present the same to Alderman Furman, 106 Broadway, on or before the 20th inst.
* The former of these gentlemen engaged with zeal and virtue, at an early period, and under discouraging circumstances, in their arduous duty.
The Committee acknowledge receipt of the following donations, since their last report: Six barrels of flour from several Captains of North River sloops.
Under cover from Mr. Samuel Blagge, of Boston, 50 dollars.

Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1795.
This forenoon arrived here the ship Catharine, Capt. McCollum in 44 days from London.—The Catharine left Gravesend the 18th September: But we hear has bro't no papers later than the 10th, the date of those via New-York. Intelligence by this arrival confirms the account of the revocation of the order for carrying into British ports, neutral vessels bound to France with provisions.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability in North-Carolina, to his friend in this city, dated October 14.
"The villainous writings in Philadelphia, don't shake my confidence in Government in the least, nor have any other effect upon me than to excite as much indignation against the Authors as is consistent with the highest possible contempt."
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman who has been several years in Europe, and is now in Paris, dated July 1, 1795.
"Bread is not now scarce in an extreme degree; it is exposed to sale where it used to be—but it is generally not of a good quality. In alleviation of that misfortune, I rarely, if ever, recollect to have seen meat and vegetables in greater plenty, or of a better kind. On the road which I travelled, the proportion of ground in cultivation is greater than I ever saw before in any country, and the appearance of harvest excellent."
Extract of a letter from London, of 20th September, to a merchant in Philadelphia.
"Mr. Bayard has this moment informed me, that there is a revocation of the order for stopping American ships—he came out to-day—he said I might rely upon it."
"Harvests great here, in Scotland and Ireland—avoid speculations; markets are falling, and foreign wheat will not sell, even at a reduced price."
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Eagle, Captain Phillips, in 10 days from Cape Francois, by which we have the following, from the remarks made by captain P. at the Cape, and on his passage from thence.—"Oct. 12. This day arrived a frigate from Brest, after a passage of 30 days, with dispatches relative to the peace between France & Spain; the surrender of Hispaniola to the Republic, and the delivery of Jean Francois (who caused the massacre at Fort Dauphin) to be conducted to France for trial. On the 22d Oct. in lat. 27. 58. long. 72. 54. saw a boat with a signal of distress, upon which we lay to until she came alongside and took on board Capt. Benjamin Gardner, and 4 men belonging to the sloop Fanny of New-York, which he informed had foundered in lat. 25. 30. long. 69, and that they had been in the boat 22 hours, without any water and only two ducks, a piece of pork a cask of rum, and some bread wet by the sea."
Captain Phillips also informs, that a sloop belonging to New-London, arrived at the Cape, in 25 days from Orient, and that a fleet of men of war was daily expected from France.
Litt of vessels at Cape Francois, October 17, brought by Capt. Phillips, in the Schooner Eagle, viz.—Brig Ann, M c Cutcheon, and Schooner Nancy, Waters, and Sally, Hews, of Philadelphia; ship Victoria, Hubble, and sloop Nancy, Burcher, of New York; schr.

NEW-YORK, November 5.
IMPORTANT.
Extract of a letter from a mercantile house of eminence in London, to their correspondents in New-York, dated
"London, Sept. 10, 1795."
"Gentlemen,
"Since writing you this morning, we have to say, that an order has been issued by our government, to prevent the detaining at sea, any neutral vessel bound with provisions, &c. to France."
Arrivals at this Port.
Ship Mary, Logan St. Ubes Aurora, Johnson Bremen Brig Harmony, Bool London Electa, Pratt, Cape Francois Schr. President Hilleard St. Marks Sloop Friendship, Peterson Newport R. I. Lively Norris, Turks Island
Yesterday arrived the Brig Harmony, Captain Bool, in fifty four days from London. We have been favoured with London papers of the 9th and 10th September, two days later than brought by the Minerva—the following articles are copied therefrom.
LONDON, September 9.
We this morning received the Paris papers to the 6th inst. inclusive. As Sunday was the day appointed for the meeting of the Primary Assemblies, the papers which were published that morning could not, of course, contain any account of their proceedings.
At Calais, it appears that the primary assemblies have met and accepted the Constitution, but rejected the decree which was tacked to it by the Convention, for compelling the Electoral Bodies to re-elect two thirds of the present members.
The army encamped at the Trou d'Enfer, in the neighborhood of Marly, about ten miles from Paris, consists of about 6000 men, under the command of Gen. Menou; but the whole number of troops in the vicinity of the metropolis, exceeds 20,000. They all appear to be devoted to the interest of the Convention, who have had recourse to the old revolutionary modes of reduction, an
increase of pay; and an... of necessaries, but of luxuries as the city will afford, to the troops.
As the time appointed for the meeting of the primary assemblies approached, the different committees, who have for some time held the reins of government, appeared to have lost that courage, confidence, and address, which they had hitherto displayed in so eminent a degree, and seemed to place but little hope of success on the insidious plan which they had devised for the perpetuation of their power.
We understand, that the Proclamation of Louis XVIII, has been pulled up in different parts of Paris, by order of the Committee of Public Welfare. With what view, remains to be explained.
September 10.
It was yesterday reported that the Convention, on the 7th inst. previous to the meeting of the Primary Assemblies at Paris, impelled probably by the unequivocal marks of public indignation displayed in all quarters, repealed the Decree, "on the means of terminating the revolution," which they had annexed to the Constitutional Code, and which prescribed the re-election of two-thirds of their members.
A Council will be held in a few days at Weymouth, at which most of the Cabinet Ministers will attend, for the purpose of further proroguing Parliament. The last order stands for the 1st of October next: the next Proclamation will, we understand, appoint the day when Parliament shall meet for the despatch of business, which, we have reason to believe, will be about the 10th of November.
That the French Generals under the direction of the Convention, would sacrifice any number of men to carry a favourite point, can hardly be doubted; but that they have crossed the Rhine at the expence of Fifty Thousand Men, is a stretch of the marvellous, that could not be likely to pass, even in that region of credulity and panic, the Stock Exchange.
From the London Gazette, Sept 8. 1795.
Admiralty Office, Sept. 8.
Extract of a letter from Sir Wm. Sidney Smith, Knt. Captain of his majesty's ship Diamond, to Mr. Nepean, dated off Rock Douvre, Sept. 4.
I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, for the information of my lords commissioners of the admiralty, that his majesty's squadron under my orders, has had some success in the three days which have elapsed since the date of my last letter.
The corvette I was in pursuit of, with the Diamond, when I wrote last, secured herself in Brhat. I had, however, the good fortune to fall in with another, at day light in the morning of the 22d. Three quarters of an hour's chase brought us within gun-shot of her. She endeavoured to elude our pursuit in the labyrinth of rocks before Treguier, but the attempt proved fatal to her, as she struck on the Roennas, and soon after filled and fell over.
We opened our fire immediately, and sent out boats to save the crew. Her own boats which were towing her, saved as many as they could carry. We were not fortunate enough to save more than nine. They reckon about twenty perished, besides the Captain, who walked off the wreck a few minutes before our boats reached them. Her name was L'Assemblee Nationale, of 22 guns, eight pounders, on the main deck, and 200 men, from Brest bound to St. Maloes. The swell was so great, that she went to pieces very soon, and we were obliged to anchor among the rocks, to avoid a similar fate.
Captain Decrees, who had been detached in the Childers, rejoined me this morning. On his return, he fell in with and captured the Vigilant, French Cutter, of six guns, one of the Gard de Cote in the Bay of St. Brieux.
PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 8.
Lord Bridport is hourly expected with a part of the Grand Fleet; the wind being fair for coming up Channel.
DUBLIN, August 31.
Extract of a letter from an Officer at Londonderry, dated August 25.
"The magistrates on Tuesday last demanded a party of our regiment from the company quartered in Strabane, eleven miles from hence: they returned on Friday night.
"At Letterkenny, they apprehended six Defenders; four of them found bail, which the magistrates accepted of; the remaining two were lodged in Lifford Jail: one of them is ailed Captain."
"An address to the Republicans of Ireland, was found upon him, signed Pichegru, General of the French Republican Army, and addressed to James Fitzgerald, Esq. General of the French Republican Army."
"The Serjeant, in searching his great coat pocket, found his captain's commission, with a large seal to it, a parchment muster roll, lined out to hold 400 names, but only fifteen were inscribed. This Captain was schoolmaster in the village. Those are the first Defenders that have appeared so far North."

A MILL for SALE. FOR Sale, on private contract, five undivided shares of parts of that valuable merchant-mill, called Old Pennypack Mill, with two dwelling houses, stables, cooper's shop, cask house, and other convenient buildings, with about 20 acres of good land, the greatest part thereof is excellent watered meadow, the remainder garden, orchard, and wood land; situate ten miles from Philadelphia, near the Washington Tavern, partly on the post-road leading to New-York, and partly on the River road; a remarkably healthy country, and an excellent neighbourhood. This mill being on Pennypack creek, a heavy stream of water, with about 15 feet head and fall, and the tide flowing about 6 feet, will admit a vessel carrying 1350 bushels of wheat to lay along side, and unload into the mill with Evans's elevator in about three hours. The mill house is large and built of stone, founded on a rock, the walls uncommonly thick and strong, (such a piece of mason work is rarely to be found) contains five floors, two water wheels, and three pair of the best French burr stones all running, double geared, with three bolting screens and cloths for the best quality, rolling screen, cylinder, and fans for cleaning wheat in the best manner, and passing it afterwards by an elevator into a hanging garner; also, conveyers, elevators, and hopper boy, all in complete order. There are two large frame buildings adjoining the mill, which are convenient for storing flour, shorts, cakes, &c. A corn mill is erected within the building, for manufacturing large quantities of kiln-dried corn meal. The stream of water is so constant that upwards of 60,000 bushels of wheat have frequently been manufactured at this mill, annually. The tumbling dam was built of stone and frame about 30 years ago, but the late extraordinary frosts have made a breach therein, it can easily be repaired altogether with stone, the greatest part of which is already at hand, and the remainder can be quarried near the dam, as there are several good quarries of excellent stone on the premises, and adjacent to the creek; the contiguity of this very valuable estate to Philadelphia, and the easy navigation for flatboats, with the above-mentioned great advantages, and many others not here mentioned, must be obvious to any person who may view the premises. An indispensable title, clear of all encumbrances, will be made to the purchaser on paying part of the money, and giving satisfactory security for the remainder, payable with interest in installments at such times as may be agreed on. For further particulars enquire on the premises of FRANCES LEWIS, Executrix to the estate of Robert Lewis, deceased; JOHN SWIFT, near Buffalo-Town; or NATHANIEL LEWIS, or DAVID LEWIS, in Philadelphia.

A MILL for SALE.

[The rapid sale of the first edition of this entertaining novel, in a few months is the best criterion of its merit.] EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, APRIL 1791. p. 463. "It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural; and it is a tale of real distress — Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity, of her former conduct, is extracted 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 her friend. The situation are artless and affecting — the description natural and pathetic — we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps justly is not, we think, properly attributed." 1.

LOTTERY INTELLIGENCE. We are informed that the gentleman who drew the $5,000 dollar prize, in the Canal Lottery, was the proprietor of only a single Ticket — This instance of good fortune, shews that it is well to be in Fortune's road; and is the more pleasing, as the owner of the prize is a very worthy, though not a very affluent citizen. The Scheme of the Canal Lottery is certainly one of the best which has appeared — for, independent of the useful objects to which its proceeds are to be applied, the scheme is so calculated as to continually enhance the value of the Tickets remaining in the wheel; because, while the drawing progresses, the chance of a capital prize growing greater, must increase the value of the undrawn Ticket. The Prizes drawn to the close of the drawing on last Wednesday Evening, were 1 of - - - 15,000 2 of - - - 2,000 3 of - - - 1,800 4 of - - - 500 5 of - - - 100 1700 of - - - 12 And there then remained in the wheel 1 of - - - 50,000 1 of - - - 30,000 2 of - - - 10,000 6 of - - - 2,500 9 of - - - 2,000 15 of - - - 1,000 16 of - - - 500 89 of - - - 100 14800 of - - - 12 And 3 stationary prizes of 20,000 Dollars each; by which, and the nature of those 3 stationary prizes, which are to belong to the five best drawn tickets, it will be found, that an undrawn ticket was yesterday morning, worth nearly 1122 dollars, which, at the beginning, was worth no more than 10 dollars — and so the undrawn tickets must continue to increase in value, as fast as the drawing proceeds: And this circumstance will account for the number of Offices which are opened for the sale of Tickets, as the profits must be daily increasing; and in a few days a Ticket now selling at 11 dollars, will no doubt command 15 dollars, and must continue to get high as the drawing approximates to the five stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each.
AT a Meeting of the Stockholders in the Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, on the 25th May last, convened for the purpose of fixing the time of payment of the remaining part of the Capital Stock of said Company, Achim, that the remaining sum of two hundred dollars per share, be paid on the 6th day of November next, under the penalties annexed to default by the act of incorporation.
