Lachawannock. A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on- ly, on 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 obstructions, naviga- ble to the Susquehannah. Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, emp- ties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah. 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 Susquehannah 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 ten 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, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eodgm

A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the neces- sary expenses of printing, &c. and the sur- plus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold, or at all events on Monday, the 22nd of December next. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The drawing will be under the management of 24 gentlemen approved by the commissioners for the City of Wash- ington, for the time being, and acting on oath.

C. W. PEALE. EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the in- terests of useful science, has on the sug- gestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, in- ventions, improvements, schemes, obser- vations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate. Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications ano- nymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communica- tions in a private book which he will keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may se- cure to inventors their just claims, and pre- vent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not en- titled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disse- minating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and inven- tion, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

To the Democratic Society of Wythe County, Virginia
Gentlemen, or rather Citizens, but not Fellow-citizens,
A MORE impudent, hypocritical and villainous, and at the same time a more superficial, foolish and contemptible thing than your Address to the People of the United States, we do not recollect that we ever have been in a position to read!—You address the People of the United States?—You compare your rights with those of the People?—You attack the constitution?—You exclaim against neutrality and peace?—You advise and reform the world? much you know about them, to be sure.
We shall, so far as a mixture of contempt, and indignation will permit, in the first place examine a few of your political notions, or rather tricks, and then do you the friendly office of holding you up to yourselves.
1. You begin curiously—"It is the right of the PEOPLE to assemble and deliberate. (So it is) It is the right of the PEOPLE to publish their sentiments. (So it is—but mind the application.) These rights we exercise, and esteem invaluable." Now in the name of common sense, what business have you with these rights? Have you taken them from the people? Not yet we hope. Or will your amiable modesty say that you are the people! Modest gentlemen indeed!
2. Dear Sir! what on earth have you to do with France, or with England, or with "the small neutral powers"? And your sympathy with British convicts, from whence could it possibly be derived? It is pity that patriotism and religion are alike subject to rascally cant, which imposes on almost all but those who employ it. You "have lamented that your good wishes were the only aid you could give to the French." That is, (deducting the cant for tare) you have lamented that you could not get your country into a war!—We know it. Be so kind in your next address, as to point out the infinite benefits your country would derive from a war, to her trade, revenue, and happiness! And add if you please, a list of the losses that you in the backs of Virginia, have sustained in your navigation! And her of your slaves, and yet another of certain little embarrassments, might wonderfully "purge the visital ray." There is another small particular, which we should demand of you, if we believed you to have sufficient penetration to discern it—and that is, the agency by which you are driven; for nobody will suppose that your uncommon patriotism is original.—It is an humble copy of still greater patriots, who are yet a great deal more concerned about the public than you are.—We do not mean to insinuate that you are not as great patriots as you can be but only that there are some very few who love liberty and love the PEOPLE, and all that, as Bayes says, ten times as much as you do, or ever will do in your lives.
3. While you take care of the affairs of Europe, you condescend to think, that it "would be criminal to forget your own country."—Your country thanks you for nothing. While you are engaged in the "affairs of Europe" she will try to take care of herself. You say "you have seen the nation insulted, our rights violated, our commerce ruined, while government, under the corrupt influence of the paper system, has uniformly crouched to Britain." Our allies the French, have been treated unfriendly; denied any advantages from their treaties with us; their Minister abused; and those individuals among us who desire to aid their arms, prosecuted as traitors." What an impudent libel upon your country! Have the PEOPLE "seen" all this?—Do these vile rulers live?—Where are a million swords?—God of our fathers, does vengeance sleep? Or does this quotation let out with an imposing truth and proceed and end with a nefarious lie? Gentlemen of the Democratic Society of Wythe county, in Virginia, you ought indeed to be a little decent when you appeal to the Sovereign People! Has France complained? Or are these things but trifles? It is a melancholy consideration that the truth of God is not guarded against clippers and coiners—if it were, this would be—ears at least.
4. "If all tyrants unite against free people, should not all free people unite against tyrants? Yes! Let us unite with France, and stand or fall together!" Here the cat leaps out.—War! War! War! Let us go to war with Britain, Germany, Holland, Prussia, Spain, Sardinia, Sicily, Portugal, Tuscany, Rome, and all the world! For why? If some tyrants unite against some free people, should not all free people unite against all tyrants? Conclusive, even to contempt!
5. Mr. Jay's appointment you call "a severe trial of the public confidence." Now, on the contrary, it is a fact, and we believe you know it, that no man in the United States could have given such general satisfaction. But you, paricides, do not wish Mr. Jay success. Your scheme of war would not take place if he should succeed. We know you. "The constitution hath been trampled on and your rights have no security." You tell of the constitution?
How can you smother your own consciences, that thunder to your souls that you, you are in the deliberate act of overturning the very system, whose pretended injuries, like crocodiles, you affect to deplore! Who has trampled on the constitution? How dare you to insult the observation of The People?—
Have George Washington and the Senate trampled on the constitution? And did you, Democratic Society of Wythe county, feel the first and only shock? And your miserable quibble about the union of legislative judicial and executive in Mr. Jay, could you have been foolish enough to publish it, if you had barely read the constitution, whose champions you pretend to be, which vests the power of making treaties, not in an Envoy-extraordinary, but in the President with advice of the Senate? The farther we go, the more we are ashamed of our antagonists, the Democratic Society of Wythe county in Virginia.
To you, "it seems that a radical change of measures is necessary, and citizens! you say, it is to be effected by a change of men!" It amounts to this—you could not get a war the last session of Congress, because with infinite difficulty and expense your plans were virtuously detected and exposed—You find that the President, with the majority, is in favor of neutrality and peace—and so men must be changed, that measures may change. It is observable too, that you intend to have a war two or three years hence, if you cannot have it before; because you say that a new President would "produce a new state of things." Let him that reads this letter with us, hold up his folded hands and humbly beseech Almighty God to bless, to continue, and to prosper the councils of peace!
And now we have finished our observations on your address to the "citizens" and "fellow citizens" ("my lords" and "my lords and gentlemen") of this people. If you choose to come forward again, never fear but you shall be noticed, gentlemen. It is not constitutionally in our power to notice you properly, but we will endeavor to do the introductory honors of the PEOPLE.
The second department of our undertaking was to hold the mirror up to your faces.—Will any body on earth believe your foolish pretensions to the palm of patriotism in the United States? Do you know that your northern brethren have systematized what you have just begun to learn? Do you really think that your impudent alterations and vague declamations will occasion this part of the States especially to disturb the philosophic balance of their minds?—"Foolish Galatians! who Galatians! who hath bewitched you?" Who will believe that Republicanism is purer in Virginia than in New-England?—Look at your habits, your education, and your employments—Can you govern the world? Consider at large your passions, your interests, and your vanity—do not they govern you? and who governs them?
Remember, gentlemen, if you live to see your country ruined, the cause of it. All tyrannies begin by an officious assumption of authority. Who has called for volunteers in the government of the United States?—Has the silent majesty of the people either beckoned your assistance, or ratified your association?—& against whom do you pretend to support your country? Against her own choice—against her constitution—against her deliberate will and pleasure? THE PEOPLE only meet in their legal constitutional divisions; and meeting thus, they have & doubtless will always take care to have a right to deliberate. But you—who are you? You give us a founding foolish name to your society and tack on your Chairman and Secretary.—Your Negroes could do the same One man, by the help of a little forgery (no great addition to your offence) could do it.—At least, when you appear again, let the public have your names. You despise—we reverence the people. This charge is right, for you are habitually proud and (even in the present instance) dictatorial, and if you examine your hearts, will find that you are sorry that the people have the power which you are obliged to court. Your habits are British, and your elections are even now of the British pattern—Yet you affect the French principles, which you do not feel, and can never equal either in sentiment or effect. Nay, you do it absurdly, for neither you nor we have the least need of or could possibly apply, these principles. But you find them popular, and employ them to be popular yourselves. Now he that does this is a Democrat; but in that sense of the word wherein it means, to govern the people, and that too by imposing upon them.
Gentlemen, accept our republican advice—Be honest and mind your business. We shall pray to God to continue our
ability and privilege to judge for ourselves—and by all means to avert the necessity of asking your assistance or opinion.
One for MANY.

By the PITTSBURGH MAIL OF LAST EVENING.
A Report of the proceedings of the committee appointed at the meeting at Parkinson's Ferry on the 14th instant, to confer with commissioners on the part of the executive of the Union, and on the part of the executive of Pennsylvania, on the subject of the late opposition to the laws of the Union, and violation of the peace of the state government.
On the part of the executive of the Union. William Bradford, attorney general of the United States.
Jasper Vates, associate judge of the supreme court of Pennsylvania.
James Ross, senator in the Congress of the United States.
On the part of the executive of Pennsylvania.
Thomas McKean, chief justice of the state of Pennsylvania.
William Irvine, representative in the Congress of the United States.
Committee of Conference. Westmoreland county.
John Kirkpatrick, George Smith, John Powers.
Washington county.
David Bradford, James Marshall, James Edgar.
Fayette county.
Edward Cook, Albert Gallatin, James Lang.
Allegheny county.
Thomas Morton, John Lucas, H. H. Brackenridge.
Ohio county.
William McKinley, William Sutherland, John Stephen.
The committee having met on the 31st, proceeded to the election of a chairman, upon which Edward Cook, was nominated and took his place.
A question was made, whether the proposed conference with the Commissioners from the government should be private or public. It was determined that it should be private, as less liable to interruption, and as leading the Commissioners from the government to give a more frank and full communication of their sentiments and intentions; and that after the preliminary arrangements, the correspondence as to what was material should be in writing, which the committee were not at liberty to communicate to the public immediately, but to report to the Committee of Safety, which was to meet on the first Tuesday of September.
It was moved and directed that two members be appointed to wait upon the Commissioners on the part of the Union, and of the State Government, and to adjust with them the place and time of conference.
Thomas Morton and James Edgar were appointed.
Agreeable to arrangement a conference took place at ten o'clock next day, and was opened by a communication on the part of the Commissioners of the Union, stating with all the solemnity due to the occasion, the extreme pain it gave to the Executive, to have heard from time to time of the deviations from the constitutional line of expressing a dislike of particular laws, to those means of violence and outrage which would lead to having no laws at all; that in the case of the present infractions, they were solemnly called upon by the constitution to exert the force of the union, to suppress them; but that in the first instance, all those lenient measures of accommodation were about to be tried, that the great reluctance of the Executive to have recourse to force, had induced it to use; that for this purpose, they had been commissioned with certain powers from the Executive in order that if possible, short of bloodshed, submission to the laws might be obtained, and peace restored; that in the mean time the most effectual and decisive measures had been taken, that should a pacification be found impracticable, by an address to the patriotism and reason of the people, submission must be enforced, and however painful, the strength of the union drawn out to effect it; that the militia were actually draughted, and their march delayed
only until the first of September next; within which time it behoved the people of this country to make up their minds and give an answer, that the government might know what to expect.
On the part of the Commissioners from the Executive of Pennsylvania, it was stated, that it was in like manner with great pain that it had been heard, by the state government, that a resistance to the laws of the Union, and a violation of public peace, had taken place within this particular jurisdiction; violations of so flagrant a nature as the invasion of personal security in a domestic habitation of an officer of government; the burning down his mansion house; reducing him to the necessity of relinquishing the country by a flight at an unreasonable hour, and by a circuitous route of many hundred miles through a wilderness; the attacking the marshal; expelling an associate judge, the Prothonotary of the county, &c. and above all invading the cabinet of government, in the intercepting the public mail, and violating the right of the citizen by breaking the repository of his private thoughts, which ought to have been considered as sacred as in his scrutoire; that the laws of the union were a part of the laws of Pennsylvania, and the state government on principles of delicacy and honor, could not avoid taking a very sensible part in defending them, independent of that obligation under which it was by the constitution; but that these outrages were breaches of the municipal law, and as such the state government was under an indispensable necessity of taking notice of them; and by every necessary coercion repressing them; that for this purpose, the governor had determined to give the most prompt and decided assistance to the general government, in the requisition of militia, & had thought it proper to call the assembly, in order to make provision for any further force, that the exigency of repressing the insurrection might require; but that it must be peculiarly distressing to be under the necessity of arming against a country always heretofore respectable for its obedience to the laws; a country which had been peculiarly an object of attention with the present state executive; nevertheless, it was impossible to avoid it, unless order by the voluntary act of the citizens could be restored; that to effect this object the governor had commissioned them to co-operate in their good offices with the commissioners on the part of the union, and for this purpose, inasmuch, as the consciousness of having violated the laws might lead to a farther violation as a means of impunity, they have authorized, on an accommodation with commissioners of the United States, and an assurance of a disposition to preserve peace, to stipulate and engage a free and full indemnity for what was past; so far as regarded the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and that it would give them personally great pleasure indeed, if by these a return could be facilitated to this country to the bosom of peace and happiness.
On the part of the committee, a narrative was given of the grounds of that uneasiness and discontent which have existed in this country, and have grown up at length to that popular fury which has shewn itself in the late transactions.
To this the commissioners replied, and then proceeded to state more particularly the nature of their powers, and that certain assurances were necessary previous to their exercise, all which having been since reduced to writing, the documents will speak for themselves. They also declared their expectations that the committee would declare their sense on this subject.
It was answered by the committee that it was their duty to hear, and report, for to this purpose were they appointed; but no power lay with them to stipulate for the people.
It was then stated on the part of the commissioners that such was their situation, that they could not dispense with requiring from the committee, at least to recommend what opinion they themselves should form on the subject of the propositions made, as otherwise they could have no encouragement to go on, and wait the result of the opinion of the people of the country.
This was thought reasonable, and it was agreed on the part of the committee that it should be so.
It was then agreed that the propositions of the commissioners should be received in writing, and the conference was adjourned.
The following letter was now received from the commissioners on the part of the union.
Pittsburgh, August 21, 1794. Gentlemen, Having had a conference with you on
the important subject that calls us into this part of Pennsylvania, we shall now state to you in writing, agreeably to your request, the nature and object of our mission hither. Considering this as a crisis infinitely interesting to our fellow citizens who have authorized you to confer with us, we shall explain ourselves to you with that frankness and sincerity which the solemnity of the occasion demands.
You well know that the President of the United States is charged with the execution of the laws. Obedience to the national will being indispensable in a republican government, the people of the United States have strictly enjoined it as his duty "to see that the laws are faithfully executed;"—and when the ordinary authorities of the government are incompetent for that end he is bound to exert those high powers with which the nation has invested him for so extraordinary an occasion.
It is but too evident that the insurrections which have lately prevailed in some of these western counties have suppressed the usual exercise of the national authority; & it has been formally notified to the President by one of the associate judges, in the manner the law prescribes, that in the counties of Washington and Allegheny, in Pennsylvania, laws of the United States are opposed and the execution thereof obstructed by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceeding; or the powers vested in the marshal of that district." He therefore perceives with the deepest regret, the necessity to which he may be reduced for calling forth the national force in order to support the national authority, and to cause the laws to be executed;—but he has determined, previously, to address himself to the patriotism and reason of the people of the western counties, and to try the moderation of government in hopes that he may not be compelled to resort to its strength. But, we must not conceal from you, that it is also his fixed determination if these hopes should be disappointed, to employ the force—and if it be necessary, the whole force of the union to secure the execution of the laws. He has, therefore, authorized us to repair hither, and by free conferences and the powers vested in us, to endeavour to put an end to the present disturbances and the opposition to the execution of the laws in a manner that may be finally satisfactory to all our fellow citizens.
We hope that this moderation in the government will not be misconstrued by the citizens to whom we are sent. The President, who feels a paternal solicitude for their welfare, wishes to prevent the calamities that are impending over them—to state to them clearly the inevitable consequences of further resistance—to recall them to their duty—and to prove to the whole world, that if military coercion must be employed it is their choice and not his.
The powers vested in us will enable us to arrange the execution of the acts for raising a revenue on distilled spirits and fills that little inconvenience will arise therefrom to the people; to prevent as far as is consistent with the public interests the commencing prosecutions under those acts at a distance from the places where the delinquents reside; to suspend prosecutions for the late offences against the United States; and, even, to engage for a general pardon and oblivion of them.
But, gentlemen, we explicitly declare to you that the exercise of these powers must be preceded by full and satisfactory assurances of a sincere determination in the people to obey the laws of the United States, and their eventual operation must depend upon a correspondent acquaintance in the execution of the acts which have been opposed. We have not, and coming from the executive you well know that we cannot have, any authority to suspend the laws or to offer the most distant hopes that the acts, the execution of which has been obstructed, will be repealed. On the contrary, we are free to declare to you our private opinions, that the national councils, while they consult the general interests of the republic, and endeavour to conciliate every part by local accommodations to citizens who respect the laws, will sternly refuse every indulgence to men who accompany their requests with threats, and resist by force the public authority.
Upon these principles we are ready to enter with you into the detail necessary for exercise of our powers; to learn what local accommodations are yet wanting to render the execution of the laws convenient to the people; to concert with you the measures for restoring harmony and order, and for burying the past in oblivion; and to unite our endeavours with yours to secure the

peace and happiness of our common country. It is necessary, however, to apprise you thus early, that at present, we do not consider ourselves as authorized to enter into any conferences on this subject after the first of September ensuing. We therefore hope the business will be so conducted that some definitive answer may be given us before that day.
We cannot believe, that in so great a crisis, any attempts to temporize and procrastinate will be made by those who sincerely love their country and wish to secure its tranquility. We also declare to you, that no indulgence will be given to any future offence against the United States, and that they who shall hereafter directly or indirectly oppose the execution of the laws must abide the consequences of their conduct.
JAMES ROSS, J. YEATES, W. BRADFORD. To the Committee of Conference, assembled at Pittsburgh.
The following is the answer of the Committee.
Pittsburgh, August 22, 1794.
Gentlemen, Having in our conference, at considerable length stated to you the grounds of that discontent which exists in the minds of the people of this country, and which has lately shown itself in acts of opposition to the excise law, you will consider us as waving any question with regard to the nature of those acts, whether treasonable, or amounting only to riot and breach of the peace; of course waving the question of the constitutional power of the President to call upon the force of the Union to suppress them. It is our object as it is yours to compose the disturbance.
We are satisfied that in substance you have gone as far as we could expect the Executive to go. It only remains to ascertain your propositions more in detail, and to say, what arrangements it may be in your power to make with regard to convenience in collecting the revenue under the excise laws; how far it may be consistent with the public interest to prevent commencing prosecutions under those laws at a distance from the places where the delinquents reside; on what condition or circumstance prosecutions for the late violation of the laws shall be suspended; that is to say whether on the individual keeping the peace, or on its being kept by the country in general; and also with regard to the general amnesty, whether the claiming the benefit of it by an individual shall depend on his own future conduct, or that of the whole community.
We have already stated to you in conference that we are empowered to give you no definitive answer with regard to the sense of the people on the great question of acceding to the law; but that in our opinion, it is the interest of the country to accede; and that we shall make this report to the committee to whom we are to report, and state to them the reasons of our opinion, that so far as they may appear to have weight they may be regarded by them. It will be our endeavor to conciliate, not only them, but the public mind in general to our sense on this subject. For this purpose we hope to be assisted by you in giving all that extent and precision, clearness and certainty to your propositions as may satisfy the understandings and engage the acquiescence of the people.
It is to be understood that in acceding to the law, no inference is to be drawn, or construction made that we will relinquish a constitutional opposition, but that we will invariably, undeviatingly and constantly pursue every legal means and measure of obtaining a repeal of the law in question.
As we are disposed with you to have the sense of the people taken on the subject of our conference as speedily as may be, with that view we have resolved to call the committee to whom our report is to be made, at an earlier day than had been appointed, to wit, to meet on Thursday the 28th inst. but have not thought ourselves justifiable in changing the place, to wit, at Redstone Old Fort on the Monongahela.
By order of the Committee, EDWARD COOK, Chairman. To the Commissioners on the part of the Union.
The Commissioners appointed by the President of the United States to confer with the citizens in the western parts of Pennsylvania, having been assured by the Committee of Conference, of their determination to approve the proposals made, to recommend to the general Committee appointed by the meeting at Parkinson's
ferry a submission to the acts of Congress; do now proceed to declare what assurances of submission will be deemed full and satisfactory, and to detail the engagements which they have power to make.
 1. It is expected and required by the said Commissioners, that the citizens composing the said general Committee, do on or before the first day of September, explicitly declare their determination to submit to the laws of the United States, and that they will not directly or indirectly oppose the execution of the acts for raising a revenue on distilled spirits and stills.  2. That they do explicitly recommend a perfect and entire acquiescence under the execution of the said acts.  3. That they do in like manner recommend that no violence, injuries or threats, be offered to the person or against the property of any officer of the United States, or citizens complying with the laws, and do declare their determination to support (as far as laws require) the civil authority in affording the protection due to all officers and citizens.  4. That measures be taken to ascertain by meetings in election districts or otherwise, the determination of the citizens in the fourth survey of Pennsylvania, to submit to the said laws, and that satisfactory assurances be given to the said Commissioners that the people have so determined to submit on or before the 14th of September next. 
The said Commissioners, if a full and perfect compliance with the above requisitions shall take place have power to promise and engage in manner following, to wit:
 1. No prosecution for any treason or other indictable offence against the United States committed in the fourth survey of Pennsylvania before this day, shall be commenced or proceeded on until the tenth of July next.  2. If there shall be a general and sincere acquiescence in the execution of the said laws, until the said tenth day of July next, a general pardon and oblivion of all such offences shall be granted: excepting therefrom, nevertheless, every person who shall in the mean time wilfully obstruct or attempt to obstruct the execution of any of the laws of the United States or be in any wise aiding or abetting therein.  3. Congress having by an act passed on the fifth day of June last, authorized the state courts to take cognizance of offences against the said acts for raising a revenue upon distilled spirits and stills, the President has determined that he will direct suits against such delinquents to be prosecuted therein; if upon experiment it be found that local prejudices or other causes do not obstruct the faithful administration of justice: But it is to be understood, that of this he must be the judge, and that he does not mean by this determination to impair any power vested in the executive of the United States.  4. Certain beneficial arrangements for adjusting delinquencies and prosecutions for penalties now depending shall be made and communicated by the officers appointed to carry the said acts into execution. 
Given under our hands at Pittsburgh, this 22nd day of August, 1794. JAMES ROSS, J. YEATES, Wm. BRADFORD.
Pittsburgh, August 23, 1794.
Gentlemen, We presume it has been understood by you that the conference on our part consists of members not only from the counties of Pennsylvania, west of the Allegheny mountains, but also from Ohio county, in Virginia, and your propositions made in general by your first letter being addressed to this conference, the Ohio county was considered as included, yet in your propositions made in detail by your last, you confine them to the survey within Pennsylvania. We would request an explanation on this particular.
We have only farther to say we shall make a faithful report of your propositions, which we approve of and will recommend to the people, and however they may be received we are persuaded nothing more could have been done by you or us to bring this business to an accommodation.
Signed by order of the Committee. EDWARD COOK, Chairman. The Commissioners on the part of the Union.
In consequence of the above a conference took place with the gentlemen from Ohio, and some arrangements were made accordingly. (To be Continued.)

wheat and flour from your Continent, a cargo of the former from Virginia has been sold at rs. vn. 31 per fanega, its quality was not of the best, good sound grain would fetch 34, some parcels of flour have been sold at 10 per bar, which price may be quoted as the present standard."

NEWBURYPORT, Aug. 30.
On Wednesday last arrived in this port in 48 days from Rotterdam, ship Mary, Edmund Wingate, Master, by which we are enabled to present our patrons with the following
GLORIOUS NEWS!
On the 19th June the town of Ypres surrendered to the French. The garrison surrendered prisoners of war, all private property, was spared. The night preceding the surrender of the above place, the garrison offered to capitulate on condition that the French would allow them to send out 4 wagons unsearched, and liberty for the emigrants to march out un molested, which the French refused, and on surrender of the garrison 500 emigrants fell victims to Republican rage.
June 26th. This day's report says, that the French have taken Ghent, and the people at Ostend were preparing to leave the place, and that all Flanders were in danger.
June 29. This day we hear that Ostend is taken by the French, and burnt. A number of people landed here this day from Antwerp, and other places that were not in possession of the French.
July 1. This day 3 or 400 emigrants arrived here from Flanders, who seemed to be in a sad state, without much baggage, which they saw their flight was precipitate, and some of them said that it was impossible for the combined armies to face the French.
July 4th. This day accounts are received that the French have taken Mons, and that the combined armies had evacuated Valenciennes.
July 5th. The French have taken Brussels, and were besieging Sluys. Some pieces of Shells which the French have into Sluys were brought here. An Emigrant from Brussels told here, that it would be impossible for all the Combined Powers to face the French, for by their requisition they brought into the field 240,000 men.
July 7th. Accounts are received, That the Emperor of Germany was on the point of entering into a treaty with the French, and that the French had taken Sluys.
The English say, that the King of Prussia has used them very ill, after paying 60 tons of silver for troops, he did not send them, but kept them to guard his own territories. The affairs between Prussia and Poland, the accounts of which are various—report says, that the Poles had lost a battle.
July 8th. This evening report says, that there had been a hard battle near Brussels, between the armies, the French were victorious, 40,000 men lay dead on the field.
Two Algerine gentlemen came passengers in the Mary: As various reports are in circulation respecting their visiting this country, for the satisfaction of our readers, we have obtained the following account from a gentleman who has conversed with them. Eight years since one of them commanded a frigate in the service of the Dey, and being taken by three Neapolitan frigates, it was dangerous for them to return to Algiers: they have since been travelling in different parts of Europe, and have recommendations from some very respectable characters there. They will in a few days proceed to Philadelphia.
On Thursday last arrived here the Schooner Sally, Capt. Baker, in 23 days from Gaudaloupe. Capt. Baker on his passage, was brought to by an English loop of war, 14 days from New York, who after examining his papers, &c. suffered him to proceed.
Yesterday arrived in this port, Schooner Nymph, Captain Titcomb, in 27 days from St. Ann's. Capt. T. informs that the French are in high spirits at Gaudaloupe, and plenty of every thing to make the English dance to the tune of Carmagnole.
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) Aug. 23.
The Ship Hope, Capt. Low, of this port, is arrived at the Falkland Isles, and was to sail from thence the 12th of April last. Capt. Low writes, that in lat. 47 S. he fell in with almost innumerable islands of ice, many of which measured by his Quadrant 200 feet above water. Their forms were various; some in the shape of sugar-loaves, others like towers, others jetting like rocks, their tops appearing level, and covering at least 3 acres in extent. They were discovered at ten in the morning, appearing from the mast head on each side as far as the eye could reach. The ship, running 6 knots an hour, entered among them, and at times was obliged to steer so near as to be frequently becalmed. In this dangerous situation she continued to run at the rate of 5 or 6 knots until 7 at night, when she happily cleared them.
On Wednesday arrived the Ship enterprize, Capt. Samuel Packard, from Barbadoes.—The Barbadoes Mercury, of July 26, received by Capt. Packard, contains a list of the British killed and wounded at Guadalupe, since the descent made at Point-à-Petre by the French, as follows:
  Soldiers and Sailors killed and wounded, 680   Officers Ditto, 32   712 
DIED.] On Sunday last, after a tedious indisposition, Miss Sally Fenne, the amiable and only Daughter of his Excellency the Governor, aged 16 years. "That Life is long, which answers Life's great End."
IMPROMPTU.
At the Burial of the amiable Miss Sally Fenne.
Of innocence, of truth the child, Of manners modest—temper mild; When passing where thy ashes sleep, Whose heart to hard that will not weep? Tho' conscious that the dread behest But call'd thee to eternal rest, Who did not with the pow'r to save Thy youth and beauty from the grave? Peace to thy dust; dear friend, farewell! Till founds for me the village bell; Oft as I tread this hallow'd ground, My tears shall on thy grave be found.
NEW-HAVEN, Sept. 3.
The Committee to make weekly reports of the deaths and state of sickness in this city, certify, That the following deaths have taken place since the date of their last publication, viz:
 A daughter of Mr. Lent Hotchkiss, Aet. 3, Scarlet Fever.  A child of Mr. Hezekiah Bradley, 2 months, Cholera.  Mrs. Tamer Clartridge, 56, Putrid Fever.  A son of Mr. Emmons, 1, of a lingering illness.  A daughter of Mr. Newman Trowbridge, 8, Worms. 
As the Committee consider their honor concerned in the faithfulness of their reports, they have felt a degree of mortification to hear that the truth of their certificates, have, in some instances, been scrupled; and as they are convinced that a uniform relation of the simple truth, is the best mode of correcting the errors of vague and unguarded rumours, they have only to assure the public, That in preparing their reports of deaths, their own recollection has always been corrected by the books of the Sexton; and they are confident that not a single death in the city has escaped their notice.
They are happy further to certify, that the Scarlet Fever, which was the prevailing epidemic at the time they began their reports, is now, they hope, nearly extinct; they do not know of a single patient sick of that disease in the city.
They further certify, that they have flattering prospects of a speedy termination of the Putrid Fever; several who were sick of it at the date of their last publication, have since recovered; and only one has died; we know of but three persons who are hard sick at this time, and four convalescents, some of whom have had the disease very severely.
They also certify, That no person is now sick of that disease in any part of the city west of the Creek, dividing the old from the new Township, nor on the
wharf or its vicinity, where the disease began. And that the utmost care has been used for several days past, thoroughly to cleanse the wharf and buildings adjoining, of every thing that is thought to aid the progress of the contagion.

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, Ma- ryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genessee Government, South Ca- rolina, 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 published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map.

At any place or places from the mouth of the river Teuette to Ocochappoor Bear Creek, on the said river, including the same.  At any place or places from the mouth of the river Cumberland to Nashville, on the said river, and at Nashville.  And At any place or places within thirty miles of said Nashville to the South- ward, Westward or Northward thereof. 
Should any rations 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. The rations to be supplied are to consist of the following articles, viz.
 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,  Two pounds of soap, } per 100 rations.  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 deposition 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 offers to one year, as they may form their propositions 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 at the two posts of Fort Washington and Pittsburgh all the rations necessary for the main Army, its detachments and the Gar- risons 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 lifting the provisions deliverable under this second form of the propositions, 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 Washing- ton and Pittsburgh will be determined at the time of executing the contract.

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 D, for their alphabe- tical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more silt 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 flourishing 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 description, 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 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 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 Tex-ure 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 nar- rower 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 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 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 num- ber thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. 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 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 the y going below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills, and the cashier's signa- ture. It is supposed that forgeries were com- mitted 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 convic- tion 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 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 counterfeits, 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 ow- ing 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 Committee of the Re- spective Boards.
