PARIS, March 31.
The municipality has resolved to let out all the pleasure grounds and national fields for cultivation. Every citizen is to subscribe a small sum for as much ground as he can cultivate, and the committee of agriculture will supply every one with seeds and grain, at a low price.
The Society of Jacobins, fearing that the ease with which persons confined in the houses of arrest are permitted to hold communication with those abroad, may become dangerous to the public cause, has demanded that they be denied ink and paper.
General Orders, March 11.
"BROTHERS, "Let us watch the prisons—a plot is going forward against liberty in those asylums. The guilty prisoners want to force open the gates at any rate: let them tremble—if one of them dares to lift his criminal hand upon the guard, the law shall be terrible; slow in punishing when it endeavors to reclaim the guilty, it shall then be speedy and inexorable. The judges in such circumstances, will know how to apply it judiciously.
"Villains, disturbers, agents to Pitt, enemies to liberty, calumniate the suburbs—they report them to be in a ferment. You ought to arrest those calumniators; bring them before the magistrates, take down their names, surnames, age, residence, and profession; then shall their means be known, with that invisible power which keeps them in pay to agitate the peaceful republican, who wants no other fortune but justice and reason.

"On Friday last General Wilkins, Mr. Ellicot, and some volunteers, with Captain Denny, and his detachment, left this place for Lebeuf, since which alarming accounts have arrived from Venango, by one Ransom, a trader, and an Indian called Broken Twig, of the Senecas. The statement of the former on oath is forwarded to you by General Gibson:—the substance of the whole is, that the Six nations, at the instance of the British, had joined the other Indians against us, and that a large body, assisted by them (the British) some in crossing the Lake and others are descending the Allegheny, were to take Fort Franklin, destroy the settlements at Cussawago, and make an establishment at Presque-Isle. What credit is to be given to these reports, I will not pretend to say, but this trader, well acquainted with Indian affairs, believes them. He moved his family and goods to this place by water, and sent his cattle with three white men, who were killed near Fort Franklin. For my own part, I have no doubt of the hol-

the disposition of the Senecas, and that they actually committed the late murders on the Allegheny river.
"I think we shall have interesting news shortly from Venango—which I shall communicate without delay."
Extract of a letter from the same Gentleman dated the 13th of June, 1794.
"Since I addressed you last, we learn that one man of the party, laid to be all killed, near Fort Franklin, had escaped; we have also reason to believe that the Indians who did the mischief, were from the west, and not of the Six Nations, nay, by accounts from the officer commanding Fort Franklin, so far from being hostile, a party of Senecas, joined to a detachment of that garrison, went in pursuit of the perpetrators of that last murder."
"The situation & inconsistency of our news is such, that it is difficult to form a proper opinion. Captain Denny has continued his march; and I suppose is now at Venango."
Pittsburgh June 10.
Since Friday last the news we've had, Has been, dear Sir, extremely bad; An Indian of the Senecas; A white who swears to all he says, Have bro't a most alarming story The substance I shall set before ye— Six nations of the Indians set on, By the De'il and Imps of Britain, Have join'd the Indians to the westward, By which we soon shall be quite prest hard—
They now are crossing o'er the lake, Fort Franklin to surprise and take;— That Fort will certainly be taken And scarce a settler save his bacon.
June 13.
The news I wrote three days ago, This day I learn is all untrue; The British have not gain'd their ends, The Senecas are still our friends; Fort Franklin is in stauquo , Nor treads a white or yellow foe— For Capt. Denny finds he can go. And I suppose is at Venango—
Altho' I extract the naked truth, We put these traders on their oath; Yet while they swear to what they say, We find we're humm'd from day to day; Hence, when I write to you again— A second letter shall the first explain.
By this Day's Mail.
PITTSBURGH, June 14.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Greenville, head quarters of the army of the United States, to his friend in this town, dated April 23, 1794.
"The legion is still in this vicinity, having performed no other exploit during the winter, than the erection of a small stockade-work, on Gov. St. Clair's unfortunate field; we have been in a "moving, halting posture" since the first of December, but it would seem that the longer we continue here, the more firm our attachment to the spot, and at present it is altogether uncertain when we may move, or where. The savages are still reserved, and excuse us, whilst they depredated on the river settlements; we may however reasonably expect a stroke at one of our weekly convoys from Fort Hamilton, in a very short time."
Extract of a letter from the Commanding Officer of Fort Franklin, dated June 9, 1794.
"Since my last letter to you, three men of the names of Wallace, Poor, and Richard Van Sickle, left this place on the 5th inst. in order to go to Fort Pitt; they were attacked by the Indians, when Wallace and Poor were killed, the other returned and gave me this information.—The day following I ordered five Senecas and five white men, not belonging to the garrison, to go in search of the deceased; they found Wallace and Poor shot, scalped and tomahawked, and after burying them returned."
Mr. Scull,
The following Speech sent by the Cornplanter, alias John Obail, to Lieutenant Polhemus, commandant of Fort Franklin, together with the remarks thereon, you will please give a place in your next paper.
Gingashdago, May 24, 1794.
Sir, I HAVE returned home safe*. I wrote a letter to you and hope you received it, in regard to the British sending a man to Cataragaras, and he sent for me.—I went to see him, not him alone, but likewise the Munsees, respecting the man that was killed at French creek, as you wrote to me concerning that business.
Brothers. This man that sent for me to Cataragaras wanted to know what we were about; it seemed to him, as if
* Had been at the mouth of Buffalo.
we were hiding ourselves. I spoke to him, and told him the reason of our hiding ourselves, that the white people think that we are nobody. I have told him every thing from the beginning—that the Six Nations would not be heard by any body. This was all that passed between the British man and myself; his name is William Johnston.
Brother. Then I spoke to the Munsees in regard of your writing to me to help you, and I asked their minds as the tomahawk was sticking in their heads; then the Munsees spoke and told me they were not drunk about this affair; as you wrote to me, and told me that you wanted to make our minds easy about this affair—it shall be so—this is all I have to say this present time about it. As I went there, every thing happened right, and you will hear a little what Bears Oil Chief said, as he was sent there by the Chiefs at Conyot. I send you three strings of wampum given to me by Bears Oil Chief, and his words were, that God Almighty had made day and night, and when he saw me, it appeared to him as if it was daylight.
Brother, says Bears Oil, my mind is very uneasy when I live at Conyot, and every summer I see the bad Indians, and always tell them not to interrupt our friends this way. Bears Oil says his mind is very uneasy, and the reason is that he can hardly keep the western nations back any longer, as the white people are making forts in their country; and another thing, our warriors and children are very uneasy, they say that they cannot go out of doors to ease themselves, for fear of hurting General Washington's lands, which must be the reason we are to be killed. Bears Oil speaks, and says he was sent by all the Chiefs, and they looked out which was the best way for him to go—by water, there was a lake, that God Almighty had made for every body, and he hoped that General Washington would have nothing to say if he went by water.
Now, Brothers, says Bears-oil to the Six Nations, I have come to know your minds, and if you want me to come down here to live, I will come;—I send you 5 strings of wampum as his speech on that head. I spoke to Bears-oil for William Johnston to help him, as the white people think nothing of us; then Johnston spoke and told him he would help him, and told him to go home, and tell his warriors and children to go to work, and plant corn, and get their living. I then spoke to Bears-oil myself to make his mind easy, and go home, and if he saw any of the western people going to war, to tell them not to interrupt any body about French creek, or any body in that country, and if he should see them, to tell them to go back to those that were at war.
I told Bears-oil afterwards, if you don't see any body, and they do any mischief, we cannot help it. Then, after that, I considered, and dispatched runners to Osewego, and to Buffalo creek, and to the Genesee, for all the chiefs to rise, and likewise General Chapin, superintendant of Indian affairs.
Then Mr. Johnston spoke, and said if the Six Nations went he would go with them—there is but eight days to come when they will meet like what I have said.
Brothers, at French creek, if it should happen that they don't come, you must not blame me, for it is not my fault, because you know very well I am almost tired of talking, because none of you will hear me. It will be but a few days before I will know whether they are coming, and if they are, you shall know it immediately. I am your friend and brother,
his
JOHN O'BAIL,
Lieut. John Polhemus, Commanding F. F.
I wrote you last about stopping the troops, I hope you will till affairs are settled.
This is artful enough to touch the pride of the savage warrior.
A good hint that we do not make so much of him as we ought to do:—The truth is we have always made too much. He is but a Captain over 18 men.
Not a bad figure this, and artfully flattering to the brother savages whom he meant to gain.
This is no doubt the suggestions of the British, to wound the pride of the savages, and incite them to war. Sly enough, pretending restraint where none exists; and affecting great caution of treading on our foil.
The devil take him; have we not been always listening to him, tho' every body but the Minister at war knows that it is of no consequence what he says.
It depends upon ourselves to keep him, and the other Indians at peace; and that is by shewing them that it is not safe to be otherwise. The Six Nations taking part with Britain or with us, depends on the occupation of Presqu'isle. A force there will command them. Give umbrage to the Six Nations! Does not every body know it is not the want of umbrage that keeps them quiet, but the impression of fear. Increase the fear and disregard the umbrage. This is the natural policy on this occasion. If the British in the mean time take possession of Presqu'isle, the measures of our executive will be justly reprobated, and if it does not cost the minister the guillotine, we hope it will his place.

CORK FLEET.
Accounts from Halifax, of a late date, mention the positive arrival of the whole of the Cork fleet in the British West-India Windward Islands, under convoy of two seventy-fours, and several frigates; and that four regiments of troops had arrived with the fleet. Other accounts say the French captured 36 sail—the fleet consists of 200.
A gentleman from St. Domingo, mentions, that soon after sailing from that Island, he spoke an English seventy-four, and ten transports, full of soldiers, bound against Port-au-Prince.
At Port-au-Prince, there are seven thousand armed negroes; determined to defend the town.
The British Squadron said to be arrived at Halifax, contains the following vessels, Robuste 74, Comodore Murray; America, 64, Capt. J. Rodney; Ruby 64, Capt. Sir R. Bickerton; Thetis 38, Capt. Cockran; Thistle 28, Capt. Hardy.
It is asserted in the Halifax papers, as coming from Capt. Lovett, from this town, that a bona fide sequestration of British property had taken place here—in the instances of three cargoes arrived from England.

LUNAR PHENOMENON.
Some days ago we presented our readers with a curious Advertisement copied from the Daily Advertiser. The following is taken from the Public Ledger of this morning.
Two gentlemen, who were returning from Hammermith on Wednesday se'nnight, observed, just as they arrived at the gate at Hyde Park Corner, the following wonderful phenomenon in the moon:
It was then about five and thirty minutes past nine, when they were remarking the clearness of the moon and the firmament. At this instant, one of the gentlemen saw dart, to the eastward from the body of the moon in the upper hemisphere, a little above that planet, a fiery meteor to the extent of nearly two of its diameters. The form was an acute triangle, with the base nearly as broad as a semi-diameter of the above luminary.
The gentleman had no sooner excited the attention of his friend to this strange appearance, than they both perceived another meteor of the same nature darting to a distance of about a semi-diameter and a half of the moon below the other, of the same form, and about half the size. After they had continued about two minutes, the latter withdrew itself by a contracting curve into the lower hemisphere; and, in a
few seconds, the upper withdrew in the same form, direction and manner.
The gentlemen likewise observed, that while these meteors were in a state of emanation, the moon lost its spherical form beneath that part from which they had departed. But as soon as the meteors disappeared, the luminary recovered its usual aspect, as if nothing had occurred.
To prove the authenticity of this intelligence, the two gentlemen's names, and places of abode, are left with the Printer of the paper from which this article is copied.

They may receive the succeeding volume in twenty-four weekly numbers, at a quarter dollar each, or else, when finished, at the same price as the first.  4. The subscription will be raised on the first day of June 1794, to fourteen dollars, exclusive of binding.  5. Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at sixteen dollars, and the price of binding.  6. The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American literature, arts, and sciences.   It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage, to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.  The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.  The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He
requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public-spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.  The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States; to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage.

It will contain many curious and valuable recipes to make fine and coarse varnishes, for preserving roofs of houses, barns, palings, troughs, pipes, &c. Recipes to make various glues and cements; recipes to make compositions for elegant, or minute ornaments, and enrichment for outside or inside compartments; recipes to make composition for figures and incrustations—to endure the weather in any aspect; recipes to make stucco compositions, for floors, mail-houses, distilleries, hearths, linings for cisterns, &c. Tables to ascertain the scantling of different species of timber necessary to perform their respective functions, in proportion to their various suspensions: Tables to ascertain the dimensions of the various operations introduced in different edifices, and doors, windows, chimneys, sky-lights, hair-cases, &c. in proportion to their different uses and intentions—whether for beauty or utility: A concise mode to take, and square the dimensions of all kinds of artificer's work belonging to buildings, and to ascertain the cubical or superficial contents thereof: Observations of the doctrine of echo and sound: A dissertation on the philosophy, doctrine, and construction of chimneys, to void or emit the smoke. Propositions and recipes to cure smoky chimneys: Observations on the instability of the edifices heretofore, generally, erected in America: Suggestions of modes to pursue in buildings here, that will, without additional expense, tend more to their durability than those heretofore, commonly, constructed: Descriptions and proportions of the general and particular members of various orders in Architecture, viz. the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Composite, Chinese, Attic, Cargatic, Arabesque, Moresque, Grotesque, Saracenic, Ruffin, Antique, Antiquo-Moderno, Gothic, and Britannic: Many curious historical accounts of various wonderful buildings in different parts of the world: Many curious and original accounts and eulogiums on Free Masonry.
This work will be printed in two octavo volumes, each to contain upwards of 400 pages, on fine paper of elegant letter press: The price to subscribers, in boards, FIVE DOLLARS; TWO and a HALF DOLLARS to be paid on the delivery of the first, and TWO and a HALF DOLLARS on the delivery of the second volume. Mr. Clark assures the public, that he will literally perform all that he has set forth in these proposals.  Gentlemen inclined to promote this work, by subscribing thereto, are requested to write, post paid, to Mr. Joseph Clark, at Annapolis, authorizing him to annex their names to the subscription list.
The Printers in the United States, are solicited to give these proposals, occasionally, a place in their papers.

A New Novel.  To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by  MATHEW CAREY, 118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, few-ed in marble paper, half a dollar.  Charlotte, a tale of Truth, IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Filles de Chambre, &c.  Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.  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 enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America. The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artless 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. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

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 fourteen dollars, exclusive of the price of binding.  The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, the Genesee Government, South Carolina, and Georgia. These maps have never been given in any former system of Geography, and it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a preference 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 published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Murray's map.

AND FOR SALE BY  JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chestnut Street,
AN ESSAY ON THE  Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it imposes.
To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by  WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D.
Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht.  Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. Cicero.  The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeit, 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 imitations of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
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 that 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 narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill.  The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.  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 true bills. Some of the counterfeiters bear date in 1794—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued until 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 similar to that of the counterfeit 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 counterfeiters.  The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others 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 T and the y going below them.  The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeiters that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS 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 manufactured 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 appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeiters is of a more tender texture and glossy 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 counterfeiters, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, 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 and prosecuting to conviction the several offenders described in respect to this, as to the last described bills.

FOR SALE, BY MATHEW CAREY, No. 118. Market-Street,
An Essay on Slavery, Designed to exhibit in a new point of view its effects on morals, industry, and the peace of society. Some facts and calculations are offered to prove the labor of freemen to be much more productive than that of slaves; that countries are rich, powerful and happy in proportion as the laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own labor; and hence the necessary conclusion, that slavery is impolitic as well as unjust.
