ROSS of Pittsburgh's atta-:hmtnt to tht
Christian Religion, in contra idion to z
industriously circulated, by the friends te

Mr. Ro(« from his youth, ani his father
and friends of York connty, where he was
born, and a more religious and pirtoous fa

acquaintance with him, I have never h«ard
an irreligious or indelicate expression frr m

Si*,
THE committee in this county for pro
moting the election of Mr. Rcfs, have learnt
■where Mr. Rofs is less known than here, cur
rency is given by the enemies to his eleftion,
(the fame confaientious men who fupportea
the eleftion of Mr. Jefferfon,). to a report,
that Mr. Rofs is a Deist.
'1 o prevent the e fit ft of this report, one
of the committee in this town, where Mr.
Rofs lived more thns ten years, and until
•bout five year* ago, applied to such elders
and- other persons, not«d for their piety and
regard for religion, as hav? known Mr. Rofs
during the whole ps this time, andas cafily
eoufd be applied to, and they chearfully ngn
cd the enclosed certificate. It regretted
that the abfenct.* of the Rev. John M'Millau,
(who is the miniOer rceareft to this place, is
intimately and has been about twenty years
•well acquainted with Mr. Rofs, and in zeal
eus fftr his eleftion,) and of the other Pres
byterian ministers in this neighbourhood,
■who are now fitting in Prrfoytery, more than
Cxty miles from this town, prevented, the
obtaining of their contradiftion to this falfe
and malicious report. But it was not tho't
prudent for the fake of this, to fuflfer tk;
leport to gain force, by the delay of another
week's port : especially as thrfe who have
signed, are distinguished characters, for go-->d
sense, honesty and piety, and refpe&abk for
their stations in society. Mr. Allifon is
judge of this county, Mr. Swearenger, Mr.
Mitchell and Mr. Ritchie are justices of the
peace, and the last has been a member of as
sembly. Mr. Cott n and Mr. Brice, are
county commissi oners, and the last has been
a member of assembly. Mr. Cunningham
is a substantial merchant and Mr. Mercer a
Fubftantial farmer. "lTufe gentlemefi being
all in town at the time, -were readily applied
to, and you may be aflured, that the certifi
cate of any one of them, is fufficient to out-
weigh t(ie report. Many more names coiild
"have bem obtained, but to seek numbeis was
thought to b« giving t&o much refpett to the
{lander, and a fele&ion of a few unqueftjon
able fharafters was thought best.
Th<'prefepce of the Rev. John Smith, of
Cannonlburgh, a learned and refpeftable Se
ceder tninifter, who, about three years ago,
removed to this country from OAorara, in
f-ancafter county, enabled us to procure his
certificate also, and upon this we are content
to reft the charafter »t Mr. Rofs and of qur
felvcr.
We could with ss much ease have obtain
ed as positive a denial of all the nthif vti |i
cious reports lately propagated again ft Mr.
Hofs, and we do pledge ourfclves that they
are fhlfe. But we thought it not of confe
quente to do so, as they ire, we trufl, ge
nerally known to be falie; and as such re
ports from unprincipled and defining nen
are ufßally expefled on filch ocetrfiorvs. But
there are so few nmns of afeertaining the
credit due to a report of infidelity and a re
fpe<fl for religion is of fu.th importance in
public Rations, that we thought it a duty to
our-fcllow citizens to disprove the aspersion
of deism.
Lea ft, therefore, this aspersion should mis-
te»d good people, unacquainted with Mr.
Rofs, the committee here request that you
will puhlifh, if you thir.k proper, these do
cuments in the newspapers or in hand bills,
as you think best, and in fuck manner as
you think nioft fit. The original of these
certificates is in the hands of the confmittee
of Franklin county.
A. ADDISON,
Chairman of the committee of Washington cc.
Wajhington, (P.) Aug. 26th 1799.
TO ALL IT MAY CONCERN.
WE the fubferibers, regular members of
sundry Presbyterian congregations in the
county of Wafbington, have heard with
furpHfe and regret, that among the many
flatsderous reports prapagated again ft. the
refpe&able cbarader of James Rofs, Esq.
of Pittsburgh, who has been proposed to be
chofeii governor of Pennsylvania, one is
that he is a D ijl.
We trust that we have a sincere regard
for truth and religion, and we fee| ourselves
bound by the duties we owe to tfath, so far
as our testimony can go to remove from our
fellow citiaens, this obftruftion to the free
rxcrcife of our votes in favour of Mr. Rofs.
God forbid that we fliould afiiil in placing in
fucb an important a flation, a man defective
ia refpeft for religion. And we but obey
' the diftate* of our own consciences in ma-
king the following declaration of what we
' know of Mr. Rofs, from our own ebferva
tion. aid indubitable information.
Mr. Rofs was born of refpeftable and
pious parcati, of the Presbyterian churc'i io
Yark couttty in this slate, aod retenred Tom |
them a'religous education. He is well in
ftrufted in the scriptures and the do 6 ite
of cbriftianity as held by our church ; a« *
we are persuaded believes and refpecis
them. He lived long in thrj town, and ling
er in this county, and we hive had good
opportunities of knowing him. Where he
has lived, there has not been aoy Rated
miuifter, and only occasional supplies for
public worttiip. But he has contributed to
the lupport of public wor(h p where" he liv
ed, and attended it regularly and there is
oathing known to ng to juftify the imputa
tion that he is an infidel cr deist, and we
think this imputation sals. and malicious.
In witnefc whereof we have hereto let our
har.ds.

The rtikuflion refpe&ing tbe Forced
Loan was resumed.
Poulain Gratidpre stated that the princi
ple of the law imposing this Loan was, that
it (hould be levied upon tbofe iu eafv circum
ftanees—that it (liquid be progrcfljve and
fnbjeft to repayment.
The Committee, thus circumferibed in
its limits, had examined the fubjefl. A
Loan like that o/ the year 4 would give
lofc to the molt odious discretion in the al
lotment of the quantum, and it was neces
sary therefore to thipk of some other mode.
The committee was qf opinion that the
bases of the fourth existing contribu'ions
{hould be adopted—on the Landed, the
Moveable, tbe Sumptuary, and the Per
sonal.
Doche Del'fleoppofed these bases. He
tho't it would be better to afiume other ba
ses i. Population ;2. The numW of
contributors to the land tax who have above
1500 1 vres' a vear; 3. The number of
contributors to that on Moveables who'pay

to the Sumptuary tax ; 5. The contractors ;
6. Thole who have licences of ike highest

Genifiieux thought the tax (hould fall
only on the JO.OOO richeti citizens, to be
divided into fix clalTes. The 'firft to pay
front five to fix hundred livres progrtffivtly.
The hig ell class not t<> exceed 10,600 li
vre». The relations of Emigrant* in every

Poulain Grandpre eompained that Gen
iffieux, though a member of the Committee
on the Bill had cot mentioned this plan.
Pie contcn Jed that this plan Would fall more
severely on the poor than that of the Com
mittee.
Geniffieux's plan was refnred to the
Committee.

Merlin, Treilhard, Revrbell, and Revelliere.
They are accutal of having violated the so
vereignty of the people, of having endeavored
to overthrow the republic, and of having
connived at peculation. The council sus
tained the denunciation, and agreeable to the

ASSASINATION AT 3ENVRES.
We now lay before our rea'ers a detailed
tccount of this horrid tranfaflion, which
was (hortly noticed in the Times of Tues
day. Revenge for being forced to regfia
the Mofnud appears to have prompted Vi
zier Ally to this sanguinary massacre.
Vwier Ally had refidtd at Benares from
the time he was compelled, in coufequence
«f the impropriety of his conduit, to re
sign the Mufrud in favour of Sadut Ally,
the present Nabob Vizier of Onde.
It was lately deemed expedient to change
the place of this H ghnefs's residence (rum
Benar-s to Calcutta , a measure he ftron «'y
deprecated, and eameftly endeavored to
prevent, The orders to government were
transmitted through Mr. Cherry, and the
time had nearly approached for his removal.
On the morning of the 14th of Jauuary
Vixitr Ally w.-nt with a larger train of at
tendants than usual, all armtd. Two of
Mr. Cherry's Hi carraht gave him notice of
tb 19, and fi.nified their lufpcious of hit
hostile dtfigm. Asfoonasthcy were fea
red, Vizier Ally Iked Mr Cherry, whe
ther it was his determination to ferd him to
Calcutta? To which the latter replied, that
it was noa&ofhis; that if he had any objec
tions he would write to the Governor, and
ne might remain ti I the answer arrived.
Hethen begvi to complain of all the inju
ries he and his father had received, and to
"Ufult him by laying hold of his coat; on
1 which Mr. Cherry puftied him off with hi«
arm, when he immediately made' a cut at
him with his fabrc, but not wounding him
mueh, Mr. Cherry ran out into his garden.
Some borfroien pursuing him, he then
made towards the door, when Walas Ali,
Trut Ali, and others, came up, and cut
him down, and biui in a (hocking
maoaer.
Mr. Evans ran out, but wai pursued, ftet
tiftf, and afterwards cut with their fabrei
most inhumanly ; it is remarkable, that al
tho the ruffians Mr. Cherry'g
house of many valuable «?ffe6ts, the things
immediately about his person remained un
touched ; the diamond ring on his finder,
and the watch in his pocket, were found
and feeured by his fei vant, after the retreat
of the aflaflias.
Captain Conway was not in the house
when the scene of bleod commenced; he
was approaching on horfebaik, when hi*
horse was (hot, and off course fell an easy
prey. The bodien if all three were mifera.
blv mangled ; one of poor Cherry's hands
were entirely cut off. _
Mr. and Mrs. Davis had rode out on an
elepha t in the morning, and on their re.
turn p ■ ifrd unmoleftcd thro, a nu r eroas
train of armed men belonging to Vizier
Ally ; but on their arrival at home, the
Cu'wal come to Mr. Davis, and communu
ca ted his apprehensions.
From Mr. Cherry's house the murderers
proceeded to Mr Davis's and me ting Mr.
Robert Graham. Killed him. Mr. Davis,
had but just time to get Mrs. Davis, the
children and servant*, on the top 0 f the
house, when the ffaflius approached. Mr.
Dayis, fortunately had a long Ipear with
him, which he defended the pafTage to the
top of the house for nearly an hour and a
half.
Thus baffled, they plundered the honfe of
every valuable, plate, lintn, witches,
arm , &c. destroying all the glaffcs and
wall {hades, the blanches of whiqh they
pulled do»n, fupp 'iini; them to be silver ;
they killed ; tid wounded many of the sepoys
and servants, and taking away the ele
phants, horses and rattle, retired, as it woold
appear, to colleft a greater force ; but be
tore they reiurned, the cavalry from camp
arrived, which kept them at bay till the
troopPjf the line, with four guns, difpetfed
[ them, but not till fevcral Ihov had" bfeu fired
from the fix pouiidris they however w.>un>
ded many of the troaps before they got to
M-idadolT.'s gard.n, from wher.ee a fairt
Jiririg of matchlocks was kept up, as well
as from foil e small guns. w\i h they had
thatmorning plundered Mr.Darell's bbat of.
O * the firlt alarm, mofl ot the gentlemen
mounted their horses and rode to the camp.
One of Mrs. Davis's women was (hot thro
the arm on the top of the ho'uie. An Euro
pean, named Hill, was terribly wounded
though ft.II alive. Mr. M'Donald, the pi.
per, lr.ade his escape, Pachaufe Moocbin'j
Bunufalow, and all the bu ldings were com
pletely burnt and destroyed. An attar k was
made on the T tea fury, and an elephant of
Shololl Dobeh's, with 13 or zo,ooo rupees,
was taken at the bridge, as they were going
to Mr. Cherry's.
lo the attack of our cavalry, Lieutenant
Brown, of the 2d battalion, 4th regiment,
was slightly wounded ; 3 artillery invalids
t feTertfly wounded ; t'Seapoy killed, and vj
or 18 wounded', fame since dead. Vizier
Ally was seen on the road to Aziuigurfc.
Twenty of His elephants were lieaed, and
brought into Benares. His wife and jo
women were found in the house. Some ac
counts fay he was going to the ReM Joger
nath Ting, who for two or three years has
kept the i'lftiifls in'that neighborhood under
alarm by liis predatory exc*rfiqns. Others
think he was going to the Rajah of Butrpul.
All Europeans were colle&ed at Mr. Da
vK's lioufe, and 30 troops encamped close t»
the flop.
The news of this tranfa&ion reached Luck'
now on the 17th January, when his high
ness the Nawab, ordered the troops atCawn
pore, tomarch to Lucknow. Hishighnefsalfo
cfTer-d a rewafd of 50,00# rupres for the ap«
