The Complainant states
in his bill that the defendants Benjamin Ga»-
ther and Basil Gaither were seized in fee as
tenants in common of a tra<st of land in Fre
derick County, called Hammond's Strife ; —
that being so seised, Basil executed a power
of attorney to Benjamin authorizing him to
fell his, the said BafiPs interest in the said
land, that afterwards the said Benjamin fold
the said land to a certain William Gaither for
the consideration of fix hundred pounds which
hathbeenfince paid, that the said William
hath afligned to the Complainant Henry Rape
the bond executed by the said Benjamin for
the conveyance of t.ie said land : The Com
plainant now further states (and so appears
to the Chancellor) that the defendants are
non-residents of the itate of Maryland, and
therefore out of the reach of the process of
this court.
It is therefore adjudged and ordered, that
the Complainant procure a copy of.th>s or
der to be inserted in the newspaper of Angell
and Sullivan, and in the United States Gazetie
at least three weeks fuccefiively, before the
twentieth day of May next ; to the intent
that the Defendants and all others, who may
conceive themselves interested in the premis
es, may have notice to appear in this court)
on or before the third Tuesday in September
next, to (hew cause wherefore a decree should
not pass for veiling in the Complainant a com

The F'irjl American Edition*
THE grand principle of Equality, if right'
ly understood, is the only basis on which
universal justice, sacred order, and perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this
eflay, at the fame time that it reprefles the
insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and
thi outrages of oppreflioo ; confirms, in the
most forcible manner, the neceflity of subor
dination, and the just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loosening the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil difti-nftion,
draws more clo r ely eVery foci'al tie, unites in
one harmonious and justly proportiorted sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights ,of human na
ture, of reciprocal oblisation, and of a com
mon relation to the community.

Opinion of the Attorney General of Jamaica.
CASE: —Kingston, Feb. ia, 1794.
u AN American veflel was loaded with
flour by her owners in America, and sent to
Port au Prince in Hifpaniola, where her car
go was fold and by means thereof, and bills
of exchange, a cargo was purchased on ac
count of the owners, consisting among other
things of the produce of Hifpaniola, in the
months of October, November, December
and January last. The veflel left Port au
Prince on the 12th 6f January, and was taken
by a British privateer on the feme day, and
sent down to this Island, where she arrived
before the publiftiing the inftru&ion of the
sixth day of November.
The cargo has been libelled as French pro
perty —and your opinion and advice is re
quested, whether under the foregoing circum
stances, the cargo will be condemned, riot
withftanding it is proved American property*
and whether a claim should not be put in on
behalf of the owners, notwithstanding the
said inftru&ion."
" I am of opinioh the inftru&ion ailuded
to, does not intend the condemnation of aU
it diredts to be stopped, and detained—Nor
can the term " legal adjudication" be so
understood with any propriety—l apprehend
the objedt of the inftru&ion is to guard a
gainst the too easy difmiflal of veflels and car
goes by the commanders of ships of war, at
their own discretion, and also to insure the
interruption of the supply of provilions to
the French colonies in hostility with Great
Britain—lf therefore the veflel and cargd
ihould by the court be adjudged neutral pro
perty, I am of opinion there can be no con
demnation as

PHILIPPE EGALITE
AS the climax of virtue or crime cannot fail
to interest posterity, we are happy to lay
before the publiq the follo wing particulars
tive to the parracide monster Orleans.
The orders to conduct Orleans to Paris had
been given to two Parifiari citizens, Hofto and
Marchats. The former is a captain of the Nati
onal guards of the ftrttion of the Thuilleries; the
latter a captain of the Revolutionary army.. In
fti uftions were given them, to call troops to their
aid, if they (hould be wanted, for the purpose of
executing the orders with which they were char
ged.
Arrived at Marseilles, they fliewed their orders
to Orleans who was seemingly in great conster
nation. He appeared much surprised that tbe in
ftru&ions bore, that troops should be used to
conduct him to Paris ; but the two officers used
every persuasion which could inspire him with
courage and confidence. "You are only sum
moned to Paris." said they, "to appear before
the Revolutionary Tribunal, which will acquit,
and enable you to resume your feat in the Con
vention." "Are the people," asked Orleans,
"well disposed towards me?" "Nay," answered
the officers, "they not only love you, but they a
dore you as their idol 1" This reply quieted
the monster. "It requires no troops," said he,
« to bring me to Paris ; I repair thither with the
utmost confidence."
Cicero,
The officers then resolved to remove him with
out any other escort than themfelvea. Orleans
had by him a knife, a pair of fcifTors, and a me
tal tooth-pick. He offered to deliver these to
the officers-—" But," added he, "you will do
me a favour not to deprive me of them." Hi»
request was complied with.
He seemed to fuffer much when he parted from
histwo sons, Anthony Philip, now eighteen, and
the youngest, fourteen years of age. They in
treated him to write them immediately after hf®
arrival at Paris. His treatment in the prison of
Marseilles was bad, and he fuftered many ri
gours, privation's, and hardlhips.
eodiw*u&ftf
On his way to Paris he difplayfcd his former
turn for ranth, and conviviality ; drank
freely, and, as his conductors exprefled, gre\»
lultier every night, going along. He even a
mused himfelf with fencing with one of hi®
Guides. "Yout mode of fencing," s a id he to
the Captain, "delights me much ; I'll give yoa
my tw* sons to be your pupils."
The officers hhving told him on the road,-that
the Queen had been executed, he
Citizens ! (he was a great and flagitiods wretch."
They having alio acquainted him with the erfe-*
cution of Briflot and the twenty deputies, he tef.
rifi'ed great joy, and loudly exclaimed at diffe
tcnt times, Vive la Republiqve!
His removal to Paris was erfecutcd quite pri
vately. Having arived in the envirous ot the
fßy Rtquejf.)
