BOSTON, June xy.
CIRCUIT COURT.
On Monday,the 1 oth iiifl.Davis Brown,
v-ho h;id pleaded guilty to an indiftment for
fediticus writings and praftices, was fenten-
Cetl by the Court to pay a fine of 400 dollars,
-and to eighteen months impnfoninent.
The indiftment v,'as lengthy. The two
f.rft counts confided of numerous extrafts
from two roaoirfcripts, written by the defen
dant : tlx- contents of which he has induf
tricully circulated in different parts of the
commonwealth. These writings are replete
with the rrioft malignant and perverse misre
presentations of the views and measures of
the government of the United States. The
g.iv.rnrr.eiit is represented as " a tyrannic
*ffcciat«Qn of about five hundred out of
five millions, 4 ' to engross to themfclVes " all
the bent-lit of public property, and live " up
on the ruins of the reft of the community."
All the means which a vicious ingenuity
■could lutrgeft, appear •to have been used by
him to create d;fc(fntei>>, and to'excite a
tnong the people, hatred and opposition to
tbsirgovernment. The last count in the in
iiccmeajt was for procuring a label to be pain
ted'anu affixed to apote evefted at Dedham,
m Qftober lad, the. fallowing words recited
;r the indiftfnerrt, made part of the kifcrip-
No Stamp-Aft ; no Sedition, no A
r*n-3ill; no Laiirf-Taj.; Downfulto the Ty
rants o\ America ; iVvce and Retirement to
tfiti Prcfujeut ; Long Live the Vice-Prefi
flc.it and the Minority." The indiftment
vs. s founded on the second feftion of the Aft
of July 14, 179?, commonly called the fe d i
tioc'-Aft, ;:nd the writings composed and
vublifhed by the defendant, were alledged to
r.avebeen done " with intent to defame the
government of the United States, the COll
- and Prt'lident of the United States, to
.bring them iato contempt anddifrepute : to
excite agaiiift them the hatred of the good
people of the United States-, and to stir up se
dition therein ; and to excite unlawful com
binations therein for opposing and refilling
divers good" ajnd wholefom'e, laws of the-U
---nited States, and to aid, encourage and abet
the hoitile deU-;tis of the Republic of France
'against' the United States, their people and
government."
Tlie defendant having on his firft arraign*
trier,t pleaded Not Guilty, a day was afligned
-for his trial. The witnesses were summoned
on the \part of the United States, and though
the-defendant,. at the time afligned for trial,
retraited his firft pica and pleaded Guilty, the
Court thought proper to examine the wit-
Jjefle's pre IVat, that the degree of his guilt
might be duly ascertained.
Horatio Townsenb, Esq. teftifiedjthat
he heard Brown reading one of the Manu
scripts to a coileftion of people at a store in
Medficld, lome time in Oftober InfL He re
collected a paflage recited in the indiftment,
in which fjjie occupation of government is
, .fta{ed tp be, " to plunder and steal the buli
; ness of thd people,"to lecrete their property
by fraud," fee. in which passage Joel.
-''Barlow is quoted. Brown wasendeavou
ring to obtain fiibfcribfers—Mr. Town-
sknd fi*|t {0 indignant at the sentiments read,
ey defc|ki,nit from his book, that he did
Slot flay to hear the whole. They appeared
*0 him to make impreflions on several of the
byfianders, unfavourable to the government.
Rev. Mr. Barker, of Middleborough,
that Brown called at his house in
Odober, or early in November last, and pre
sented to him a maunfeript, which he said
he inttndfcd to publilh, and wifKed Mr. B.
to correct.—The manuscript was left at Mr.
B's house several days, and was taken away
■by Brown. Mr. Barker, read several pages
of it. and laid it aside without further atten-
lion : recognizes it to be the"fame (hewn to
him in Court, ana which is in part recited is
the indi&ment. Brown mentioned to Mr.
: Barker, that had obtained a numcer of sub
scribers, and wilbed to have the boop; pub
lished before the then approaching day of e
lectton for a number of Cor.giefs, in the
third southern diftrift.
James Ford, of Milton, teftified, that
Brmtm called on him some time lafl autumn
with a collection of papers, the spelling <:nd
writing of which were bad ; he wished the
witness to corredl and copy some of them for
publication ; part of them Browru read to
the v.-itnefs, anS he recollects the {"entime.nts
'ir.d expreiffions to be the fame as is r cited
in the second Count in thevndiftment. The
part lecolle&ed hy Mr. Ford, contains the
following
»«, and treaion-iaw, and the exorbitant taxes
Britain wop- about to fetch on its without
.•reprtTentatio.i, are m?w brought on us by the
•representatives of (peculators, and 110J of the
people; which it is to be feared that the ma
jority of. the Ik-Uk- of Congress are at this
day, and hfive, been for a number of years ;
who have represented the new lands into their
hands the soldier's pay., and are determined
to rjjHvfent tha ftt>ck and farms of the yeo
riiativy, to bring the country into lord's te
nants and boroughs. The firft ftrat gem
■vtiich the fiends of darkness made use of,
was to mate a new treaty with Britain, to
'•ymuni the republican government of Ame-
rica."
Mr. Ford did Hat corn:ft or copy the
r.ishjifcript as rroue(l^d,
TiitE'tlAH BAKEH,fome time lad fail was

way in Dedham, in Oftober last. Bratyn
was there, and held the ladder, while another
person ascended, affix to the pole the label
mentioned in the indiftment. The people
wboereftcd the po'le f.-emed earnestly enga
ged in the bulinefs, and were harlh in their
to the witnefs-and some others
who were fpeftatcrs and were ofdi fie rent po
litical (entiroents. ,
After this examination the Attorney for
the United States exhib ted and read to the
Court, some other feditiou3 writings, taken
from Brown at the time of his commitment.
They were in rhime. One entitled, " A
Dagger for 1 yrants." e ntained the mod
virulent inveftive against the Prelident and
Government of the Uni ed States. The i
dentity of the papers was established by the
the testimony of th marshal of the Hi (I lift,
who teftifkd also to Brown's acknowledg
ment that he composed them. There was
also produced a contra ft for a printing prei~3
and types, to be delivered to Brown. The
contrast was made in March lall, a (hart
time before his commitment.
After thi& enquiry, his Honor Judge
Chase, observed to B<ovin, that having
pleaded guilty to the l'ndicim thrown
himfelf on the mercy of the c<mrt, It became
him to conduft frankly and fincsreh : and
to evidence his fincefity and contrition by
disclosing to the Government those who had
prompted and aided him in his miichieTaus
add dangerous pu suits, arid by delivering up
the lift of fubfetibers to his pernicious wri
ting's. -
He replied, that on (he Monday follow
ing tie would deliver to the court, in writing
foroe < MervHions relative to his fitnation,
aad e«ni.vCT. When called to the bar to
receive sentence, he delivered in a paper in
which he exprefles his sorrow for utterisg
his political sentiments; " more especially,"
he adds,, " in the way and manner I did ut
ter them." By "giving -up the names" to
which the Court referred, " I (hall loose,"
fays he, " all my friends." He promises to
conduct as a peaceable citizen in future, and
requests that his punilhment may be wholly
by imprisonment, and not by fine.
Judge Chase, previous to declaring the
sentence of the Court, made some very im-
obfervations to Brown on the nature,
malignity and magnitude of his offences; on
the vicious induitry with which he had cir
culated and inculcated his disorganizing doc
trines,'and impudent falfhoods: and the ve
ry alarming and dangerous excefle* to which
he attempted to in-ite the uninformed part
of the community. The court, he observed,
Taw no fatisfa&ory indication of a change of
disposition, or amelioration of temper; and
found nothing disclosed in the paper deliv
eredto them To ju !ify a mitigation of that
punishment which his very pernicious and
'dangerous praftices demanded.
David Brown appears to be .between 40
and 50 years of age. He fays he was born
in Bethleham, in Conne r, icut; spent the
early part of his life, to use his own expres
sion to the Court, «' in farming and study."
and was some time in the- army during the
revolutionary war; since that time he has
been in foreign countries.; has written
preached politics fpr almost two years past;
a nd according to in one of his
manuscripts. has been in, or has" direct in
formation" from 80 towns in .the ■Common
wealth. And audapiaufly predifts that the
people will finally break oqt like the burn
ing mountain of Etna."-

* To tie Managers
Qf the Alms-House & Houseo/"EnstoY.
GENTLEMEN,
I HAVE feeu your annual account to
the 25th of last m >nth, in Fcnno's paper of
the 17th instant, and will make a few rermrka
upon it, which I submit to your Considera
tion.
Previous to doing- this, I \V:11 obfervb, that,
in your account' No. 1. tfiere is an error .of
forty five p.Tjr.d.s, pcc'atfiofieJ by your credit
ing the. njaraifacluring account with oiily
three, hundred a|id thirty eight pounds three
pence for . goods consumed in the -hcufc-,
which credit'ought to "be three hundred and
eighty three pounds, three pence, if your ac
count No. 3 is right, to which I requcif
your attention.
At firft view I thought it mi;, be a ty
pographical error, but on (rafting both ac«.
counts up I find it is not so—how the mistake
etenped the scrutinizing eye of the Mayor,
two Aldermen, and three Jllftir.es. I cannot
tell, but so it appears, and that all of them
have pasTed the account as examined, approv
ed and allowed.
Having- given you credit for this forty
five pounds, the bain nee, Which ftate to
be the profits of the manufactory will be
eighty seven pounds fix (hillings and four
pence. Admitting this to be the truefum,
I will leave your general accounts for re
ceipts and expenditures to be the fubjett of
future investigation, and proceed to state by
whom this money is earned.
By your account No. 3, the paupers in the
house are fix hundred and five, of whom
one hundred and fifty three are children—l
will throw them all out of the question, be
cause they do not work—The result is, there
remains two hundred and twenty fix men,
and two hundred and twenty seven women,
the profits of whose labor together in the
whole year is but four (hillings each.
I acknowledge that very large allowance
ought to be made for the iituation of many
of your paupers, but (fill I ta,nnot resolve it
to my own fatisfa&ion, that %ur hundred
and fifty three grown people, who are all pro
vided At the public expence wrth board,cloath
ing, fuel and every necefiary article of life,
should not earn four (hillings each a year,
when an individual laborer can earn twice as
much in one day*
If, however, vdu can fatisfyyour fellow
citizens on this fubjett, it will be proper to
do it; fov manycf them begin to grow un
eafv about tbc poor tax, and ccnfider it as an
almost insupportable burthen. They felt it
so last year, and they are likely to feel it so
this year, in which I am told Cxty two
thousand dollars ate affelTed for the poor tax
alone-
Enormous as this is, I believe thry will
pay it willingly, if they are out convinced
that goed (Economy is observed in the expen
diture of their money, aud that a reasonable
(hare of labor it exatted from all thofc who
can work, in due proportion to their ability
and strength—but if you apply their taxes
to improper uses, and turn the Alms-House
and House of Employ, which was designed
-for the convenient and comfortable accommo
dation of the infirm and superannuated poor
of the city and diftri&s, as well as to encou
rage industry in those who are willing to do
work, if they couid get it, into a nursery
for idle itinerants, you mayexpeft, notwith
flanding the regard we entertain foryourcfea
radlers, that we Hull complain vith justice,
and fay the institution instead of being a pub
lic benefit, is become a disgrace to the city.
The following curious printed circular,
having been received by a young Irilhman,
of short residence in the country, he applied
to a gentleman to read it tor him ; as every
thing relating to so dignifies! a personage as
the Aurora-man, I*lll ft be interesting, it
would be wrong the public fliould not know
of his tftablifhing, after the manner of other
high perl'onages, a body guard for his sub
lime person.
Citizen,
The irregular attendance of those who
have proposed to become members of the
New Republican Company, has obliged the
attending members at their last meeting 011
Tuesday evening, to come to a decisive re
folntion, to be determined by another meet
ing on Saturday evening next at 7 o'clock.
The purpole of that meeting is to ascer
tain by the positive attendance of the mem
bers, the real ftrengtn of the corps ; and it
is expected that each member will come with
two dollars, R> be paid down towards defray
ing the expences of equipment.
Peribns who cannot afford to pay at once
for their equipment, can be accommodated
by paying in small weekly instalments.
The uniform agreed upon at two meetings
was as follows :
Wbitehat, with green under, and cock's
neck feather ; green coatee, with yellow col
lar, edging, and buttons gilt, cloth fuper
fine; dimity waiftcoaft and 'pantaloons ;
half boots'; black collar ; cartridge box in
front ; cockade, a large (liver eagle on a ve
ry small black ground.
,Thc Kiects-jg on .Saturday will be iuid in

PROSPECT of AN INDIAN WAR.
By a gentlemari who arrived in town qd
Saturday laft,from Cincinnati we are inform
ed that he saw a letter from the comman"
dant at Detroit, to the commanding officer
at Fort Washington, informing him that the
Indians were embodying and holding coun

a stroke on some part of the frontiers of the
United States.

Extradl of a letter from a gentleman in
Frankfort,to the Editor, dated, May 20th
if 9- ...
" A few days ago there was a party of
eight or ten Indians, completely armed, pas*
fed through Shelby county, where it was
thickly inhab'ted, doing very eonfiderable
damage to the inhabitants,. by4rtl!ing their
hogs, cows, &c. They were painted in a
warlike manner, and ltfftfeveral signs, w\ich
(hewed their hostile intentions.
By a gentlemen Jttft arrived here fro/n
Fort Maflac, we have been favoured with'
the following important information—That
he f*w a letter frogj.a refpe&able gentleman
in Katkafkias, to the Commandant ef that
pofti which mentioned the certainty of four
nations of Indians (the names of which he
do?* not recolleft, but they rcfide above th e
Illeuois river) being hostile to the people if
Kaikalkiaa, and particular to the tiib» of
Kaikaikias Indians, /everal of whom they
have taken and killed within thi» fpnng.—-
That the people of the Illinois settlements
appear much alarmed, a 9 also the Kaficalki
as Indians. >
This information may be depended on,
as the above mentioned letter came dire&ly
from the Illenois —it stated the circumftan
ftances more particularly than they can be
recolle&ed at present.
