VhUa. May ic ON the return of the troops who performed the expedition to Northampton, we observed that, during their absence, se veral publications hsd appeared in the Aurora under the form of " extrads of letters" whereby the raolt unfounded imputations were attempted to be fixed on the troops themlelves, and on their commander. In one of these extrafts it is alledged " that a number of the troops who derived their au thority from the federal government, lived at free quarters on the people." Another a Herts that there were among- the prisoners " some old men whose wrists were raw to the bone with the hand-cuffs."—Several other charges of a similar nature, and tending to confirm these two, are be found in the ex- tra&s. These flanders were so notoriously falfe, that all concern.d thought them unworthy of refutation. We therefore remained silent, although the part which we had in the ex pedition, and the relation in which-we flood to the very refpe&able officer by whom it was condu&ed, and whose character was thus in decently assailed, gave us, in a very particu lar manner, the right of speaking. A simi lar conduct we refolvedto observe with refpedl to the gross misrepresentations of the affair with the Printer of Reading, which have ap •peared in your paper since the return of the troops ; but a'dirrft and mod slanderous at tack, which, embaldened by this conduft, you have recently made on the character and conduft of *lie general has induced hi to de part from this resolution. In that attack you declare that a formal complaint was made to the general refpetfling the treatment received by the Printer at Reading, from the Lancafler dragoons, that he " affefted much concern ; promised mucli; and did nothing." In foitoe of your pre vious publications on this fubjea, you very plainly insinuate that he feitt off the Lancai ter troop on Sunday, in order to screen them from the prowess erf the la\r. With the candid and well informed, the fair and well-earned reputation of this offi cer would fufficieptly ffiield him against ca lumnies so gross, 'and people of that defcrip tidh will, moreover, know that Sunday is no proteflion against arrest for an aflault, or any other breach of the peace ; but unfor tunately there are some who for want of knowledge, or from a difpotkion to find fault, give too reajy an admission to slander, espe cially when it assumes the bold form of a statement of fafts. ftich we deem it pro per to address ourselves on this occasion i and having been induced by this late attack to take up the fubjea, we (hall not confine ouifelves entirely to that ; but ffiall advert also to the principal accusations contained in the abovementioned extrifts. oio 46 371 *55 682 6oi 782 29143 695 24095 671 705 326 676 ?5° 654 783 762 25744 979 931 We therefore declare that those extrvfts, and especially the parts quoted above, are absolutely falfehoods. If they reaHy were written by some person in Campy as they purport to be, and not fabricated in thi? ci ty, the'writer niuft have known them to be falfe. What his mQtives were for thus slan dering his general »nd his fellow soldiers, and inventing falfehoodsfor the purpose of fixing the imputation of the vilest conduft on fo.re fpeftable a body of men ,as those troops, who, at great expence. and inconvenience to , themselves, Were engaged in the service of their country, will befl be judged 'of by those, who have observed ,the malignity of the jacobin spirit, and the profligate arts whereby it aims at the accomplilhment of .its purposes. We fay that he mu-fthave known these charges to be falfe ; because it was. a matter of the utmost notoriety, that .the troops, far from living at free quarter, paid, at the highest rate, for whatever they got from the people ; that no definition,- or vi olence of any kind, was permitted or'prac- ; tifed ; and that the prisoners were treated, at all times with the greatest humanity, and as much tenderness as was confident with a state of secure confinement. They made but thite marches ; the longest «f which was ten miles : They drew the fame rations with the troops ; their friends were, at all times, al lowed access to them : they were lodged in houses when houses could be procured ; and when net, intents, with fires, and a full al lowance of clean ft raw to lie on : and when it became neceflary to fend them to town, they were sent in carriages. They were ne ver in irons except during the night, and Yhen it was neccflary to keep them in tents.' Even then, but few of them were confined in that manner, and these were hand-cuffed, two and two together, with irons far too light to do them any injury. The necessity of this confinement, under such circumstances, must be obvious to every> one. The officer of the guard, indeed, declared that without it, lie could not be answerable for their fafe keeping. In what manner the{e prisoners were treat ed,, and what attention was paid to their situation, and their wants, will further ap pear from the subjoined certificate of Doctor Strong, chief surgeon of the expedition [See Document A.] We come now to fee the affair of the LancaAer troops, and the Printer at reading; the misrepresentations of whicli we think it our duty to refute. Some parties from tht i.aneafter troop, 011 its inarch to join tht General at Millers town, assisted in cutting down several sedi tion-poles in the neighbourhood of Readiqg. During their halt at that town, to wait for orders, tluy heard that a pole of this oYfcrip tion h\d been tretted with great parade at kmc Rules diftante ; and a small party of Xf)e Csa3ette. PHILADELPHIA , TUESDAY S.VENING, MAT 14. :4» From the Aurora. TO THI EDITOR Ot THE AUKORA. SIR, there, eight or r.ir.f, re'-oKro without tht knowledge of tlieir -ollL.ro. t.> fTv■ «n>i Ht tenjpt to ciit it flown. Oil th'ir arrival, they found it gii irded by tint kN than one hundred armed men. They therefore re tired. It appeared, on a careful enquiry, that the Lancaster troops, in these different expedi tions, conducted themselves with th« utmost propriety, towards the inhabitants, a::d con fined themselVes entirely to cutting' down the fedition-poies. . After the departure of the troop from Reading, there appeared in a Gazette erf that place, and in the German language, a publU cation purporting to be a narrative of these tran£actions. In this paper, of which 3 trani latiob is subjoined for the information of the public, [B] the I.ancafter troopers were charged with every species of exeefs and out rage ; were expressly caik-ct Cannibals and Bunditti ; were a ecu led oi'theft, crut-lty, and cowardice, with whipping children, and as saulting women >vith piflols, and drawn swords. On the return of the troops to Reading, which was on Saturday, the Lancaster troop ers, having been informed of this publics* cation, called on the printer, and demanded the author. After sortie beCtation he con fefled himfclf to be, in part, the author ; a!- ledging that two other persons who were absent, but whom he named, had aflifted in the composition. On this he received fix lashes on his shirt, in the market-place, from the trumpeter of the troop, and in presence of two of the troopers. Soon affr this affair happened, the Ge neral was called from his dinner to be in formed of it, by Mr. Heifter, Mr. Frailey, and some other persons. He, replied that he would enquire into the matter, and caufethe proper steps to be taken re!p;£ting it.— He then ordered a translation of the paper in queftian to be brought to him immediately ; and in the courie of the afternoon sent Mr. Williams to request Mr. Heifter to call on him either that even ing, or the next morning, as might be moll Convenient. Mr. Heifter promiled to come at nine in the morning, at which hour the Captain of the Lancaster troop was ordered to attend. He came accordingly, but Mr. Heifter, though waited for a considerable tirhe, did not appear, nor did any of the per sons who appeared, the day before, to be en gaged in the affair. The General, in the mean time, received information that warrants bad been applied foragr.inft the parties concerned,and having carefully examined the business, he consider ed it as more proper for civil, than for mili tary cognisance. In the former cafe, it would be tried by a fury of the neighbour hood 011 the spot, where the faft had been committed, and the witnefles resided ; and before judges in whose piefence, almost, the tranfadion had patted. In the latter, the troops, extremely anxious to return hcircy must have been detained for the proceedings Ci a court martial, much to tkeir own in convenience, and at a heavy expence to the pnhlic : and the CQtfrt martial must,- of ne eefllty, have been composed of officers who had fcrved on the feme expedition, partook of the fame feelings, and would therefore have been exposed to the imputation of gar tiality. The Geneial, consequently, ordered the parties concerned to go before a judge, of the county, fur render themselves into cu/lody, and give such bail as might be re quired, for their 4ppearar.ee at the next court, to answer for the offence. This they had always declared their willingness to do. They did immediately, and judge Morris took the bail in the General's presence. Even had not these steps been taken, (till the parties were fully within the reach of the law ; fuice during the whole of Satur day afternoon they were liable to a suit by civil procels, and might have been taken on criminal process, at any time before thair departure 011 Sunday, which was not till 3 O clock in the afternoon. That the least in timation was given, or would have been fuffered, of an intention to resist, or elude, the e-xeeution of writs, isabfolutely falfe. Early ou- Sunday the general had come 10 a resolution to dismiss the troeps early on Monday morning; and captain Montgome ry having having represented that his pre sence \vas extremely neceflary, on that day at Lancaster, where the court wa: to com mence, and he was very exteniively engag .ed as Counsel, -and Attorney, he received permission to set out with his troop on their return home, Sunday afternoon. They set out about 3 o'clock, after .giving bail! The other Jtroops received orders, on the fame evening, to set out, to their refpeftive homes at day break next morning. The public is now enabled to judge what provocation the Lancaster troop had for their conduft, and what truth there is in the charges and insinuations contained in your paper 011 thatfubjeft. JONATHAN WILLIAMS.'. ROBERT G. HARPER. May 10, J 799. [ A ] To JohaTiiax Williams and Robert G. Harped, Esquires, Gentlemen, YOU have requeued me to give you a concise statement of what I observed 011 the expedition, relative tq the fkuation and treat ment of the prisoners. I lhall offer it to you with great ch-eerfulnefs, .sit may vin dicate the army from thac op* robrious char ader of cruelty and inhumanity which has been affixed to it by some evil spirited de claimed. While with the army, I considered it a branch of my pmfeffional duty to viiit the prisoners ; and to enquire if any dii'eafes or complaints required my attention. At Mil ler's Town 1 visited the proved guard, to fee if any of the prisoners were sick and want ed my afiiftince. John Kline, one of tl lC number, was reported to be ac count of his anxieties for his family, and great dread of the consequences of his'arrcft.

Philadelphia, May 9, 1799. [2] TOR THK READING EAGLE, f /Jpril qth. J Mefirs. Schnvder and Company. I learn by Mr Gottlef Jungmann's Eng lifli Papers of the 6th inft. that a certain au thor has began an account, but has not finifh ed it 5 carefully omitting what may appear unfavourable to his own and the honor of his party : hut every thing that may serve to their honor, credit, aod baa fting of it. I don't doubt, Sir, that you will very touch oblige the great number of your Re publican readers, by publishing the following true ttaiement of fads ; Monday on the ift inft. in the afternoon arrived capt. Montgomery's Troops of Light Dragoons from Lancaster, in-thetr March to Northampton County, as it is said to take up the Rebels there and restore Peace and good Order—But according to their con duft here I believe they would be more apt to excite the people to infurreftion and raise themagainft their government, than ta en force obedience and peaceable quietness, for they luvc effeftually already taken meafurct, which are not o-dy contrary to the laws of the land and direst against the Constitution ; but also suitable to a country where despo tism prevails, a»d where every one may do unpui ifhed, what he can, as it was the cafe in the Bth, 9th. and 10 centuries, in the times of Fist Rights (or Club-Rights) . In ftort, the raeafuresof the Lancaster Dra goon Gentlemen, are more suitable for a party of banditti, which endeavours to be come masters of every thing which their eye ajeets with and to pack up tuhat doet notinthe le.ijl belong to them, than American Volun teers ! ! ! Their firft undertakings, which the gen tlemen Light Dragoons of Lancaster at tempted in Reading to fliew their Hercu lean heroism to the inhabitants of Berks county, were these: They went very still snd unnoticed (for this is their Sampson-like political art from fear of meeting resistance) to a citizen of this Town, who had erefted a Liburty Tree upon upon his own ground and bottom,cut it down—but with this their Herculefles were not yet contented—but they also terrifed the Man's family -with Pi. \ Jioit and dr tun S-words and took along with 1 them at parting the owners Instruments, wherewith they had demolished the Ensign of true Liberty—-Psta { n9w they went *to the second expedition ! at a certain place had children erefted a pole with a rag at the top, but when they observed the advance of these Herculefles, they down the pole 3nd the rag, and carried thtm into the house for to keep peace w'rth Dejiroyrrs of Liberty— but these Herculean heroes were not cont«n tei with this, but marched with drawn swords and pistols into the house and held them against the breast of the owners of the house, and swore bitterly to kill him if he would fay one word, They then cut the Pole in pieces, packed up the rag, and went off with a number of other articles which did not belong to them. Ibe third Don Quixote adventure tKey fought for at a little dittance from the firft, but found nobody at home but a small boy, who begged them that they fliould not throw into Schuylkill a cut off tree that lay there : But these Herculean Itberty-drjlroycrt made up to the little boy auijloggedhim maficruelly without the lead reafs>n. From there they went to several other places, where they per petrated not lee fhameful and cruel adt By thU time however, there coming on the night prtventeii their further intended expe. d:tion. But the following morning these Hercules brothers wete <-ariy on the way ip fearch'of newj. Herculean adventures, but were thii time so unfortunate immediate ly to find some—Why unfortunate ? Yes here it had a frightful and terrible appearance for these adventure hunting Cannibals ven tured Only to about eighty Iteps within the well guatded Liberty Tree. Ycur readers, genjlernen, will not take -wifs my little description of this ensign of ' : >erty : It was and is until this hour ptinted blood-, gd, ai d haa therefore not only on that account, a frightful and terrible ap praranc-, but so much the more from this particular reason, that it was guarded round .-about with fire-vomiting rifles. The Her cules Brothers were surprized, ftoid ftilf andttaring at this wonder like a cow at a new No, only for ye of them, yet, it is doubted if their officers knew any thing about it, till ail these adventures had palled. Fir when the following day complaints were lodged with the magistrate against their mifconduft, they [ were not only direftly ready to give f a . tisfattion, but promised upon their honor, that bviieme of them, any such mifteps fhonid be made again, and that n,»t a -wjord, at leafl on their Ide, should be fa-id,ofit.
