npHE commiflloners appointed for the purpose

pped plan of procuring an accurate Map of New-
J~rfey, immediately after their appointment trans
mitted printed copies of the plan to various pr-rfons
in the several eou'ities of this state, and in the
cities of New York and Philadelphia, and since
that time, through the medium of the public prints,
have requeued the gentlemen entrusted with those
papers, to return the number of fubferioers by
them rtfpe<slively procured, to James Salttr, Rfq.
at Trenton, on or before the 6th dny of February
lad. The nnmber of furlcriptions received, not
amunting to two thousand, the cemmiflioners
did not conceive themfeives authorized to fix a day
for the meeting of the company; nevertheless be
ing ®f opinion from rafpedable information, that
the actual fubferiptions are nearly, if not fully,
adequate to the complete organization of the com
pany, if they could be ascertained by regular re
turns, and being convinced that a trafiing degree
of exertion, on t; e part of the persons holding the
fubfeription lifts, would enable them to carry the
intention of the fubferibers into effect, they have
by the unanimous advice and cbnfent of the fub
feribers, whom they have been able to conlult,
fixed on the 14th day of May next, being the ad
day of the fitting of the fuprenie court, for a meet
ing of the fubferiher* at 11 o'clock in the forenoon,
at the State House in Trenten, for the purpose of
ele&ing fiveTruftees and a Treafurcr.if the num
ber of fubferiptions ftiould be fufficient. or in any
event to determine on the meafurei necefTary to fe
eure the attainment of an obie& so ufeful to the

•W.tf.
From the universal approbation exhibited by
their fellow-eitiaens, at the commencement of this
undertaking, it was to be expe&ed that the fub
feriptions returned would have ensured its imme
diate execution, and the commissioners are purfua
ded if proper attention is paid to the procuring of
fubferiptions, to their pun dual return at the time
fixed for the meeting, and to the attendance of the
fubferibsrt, cither in person or by proxy, that ho
farther delay will take place in commencing th«

Commodore Truxton ha 3 with unrivalled
prowess, obtained for the arms of America,
a second fplcndid triumph. The glory he
has acquired, and the ineltimable services he
has rendered to bis country, do most natur
ally expose him to the fulled force of demo
cratic calumny and malice. It is to be ho
ped, therefore, that the rdhereuts to the
federal cause, that cause which he has so
amply contributed to rescue from fupinenefs,
and re-invigcrated into life, will no longer
continue their negleft of an entcrpi uing,and
gallant man ; but, by advancing t-> join
him, on that ground he has so nobly atTum
ed. defpel the vapors of uncertainty, and
the mills of pacification.

Of all the variout departments of civil
eeconomy, the nioft essential to the well
being of a state, is, unquellionably, that of
education. Amongst an enslaved people,
indeed, like those of Great Britain, whose
yoke we happily call off, education can be
but of little value ; iince the light which it
imparts, serves only to aggravate d man's
slavery by imparting t® him the knowledge
that it is in his power to be free ; and thole
univcrfitics of Oxford and Cambridge, and
Edinburgh, Dublin, &c. &c. do thus sub
serve no earthly puipofe, but to fader de
fenders and supporters of that miserable
slavery, under which they gained all thrir
acquirements. Thus what is given, is al
ways received back in full, and thus a fyf
tem of slavery is propagated and prolonged.
But in a free country, like ours, its impor
tance is above all estimation. For although
it is not lieeeflary to a man's own peace,
that he Ihould feed on the delights which
are bred in a book, yet it cannot well be
imagined liovv the welfare of a great commu
nity can re <:ompafled,out by rearing up thro
the means of vell-ordeied univerlities, or
otherwise, men of sense and virtue, on
whom, in these dark and dreary days of ig
norance and dsfolation to repose for coun
sel, and rely for our deliverance.

I think, Americans, though past moments
are not to be recalled, past trrors may be re
peated. Have you not daily provocations
to war ? Let the memory of overlijhts, by
which you have fuffered so much, inftruft
y®4 to be more vigilant in the present dan
ger—Had your resolutions the virtue to
cosnpafi what you intend, you would not
fee the efforts of the French multiply as they
do, and upon every—nor would (be be in a
condition to outbrave and affront you in
such & public manner. Proceed, then, to (
support your deliberations with vigour:
You have beads capable of advising what is
best ; you have judgment and experience to
difceru what is right; and you have power
and opportunity to execute what yo» de
termine. What time so proper for aftioh !
What occasion so happy ? And when can
>eu hop; for such another, if this be ne
gk-ifted I Has not the Dircdtory, contrary
to all treaties, insulted you both by laud and
sea ? and dill continues to ravage ? —ls not
the French an implicable enemy? a faithful
aily ? the usurper of your rights, to which
they have no title nor pretence ? a stranger,
a barbarian, a tyrant! and indeed what are
they not ? In truth, if recovering from in
a&ivity, you would atTume the freedom and
spirit of your anciftors ; if you would be
your own soldiers and your own command
ers, no longer considering your affairs in
mercenary hands, the world might, once
more, behold yon mating a figure worthy of
Americans. Yes, fellow citizens, you ftiould
make it a (landing rule, that no person
whatever, iliould be the better for the pub
lic money, who ftiould hesitate to employ it
for the public service. Are you in peace ?
The public is charged with you subsistence.
Are you in war, or under a neceflity as at
this time, to enter into a war? Let your
gratitude üblige you to accept, as pay, what
you receive in peace, as a mere bounty. And

*' On the 17 th December, vre left our

accompanied by quantities of rain ; and hav

many difficulties to encounter. Weloftons
man overboard, belides fpripgiirg our fore,
mad, but had it condemned by a surveyor,
as being tnfit to proceed to lea with. On
the 15th January, procured another rrnft in
Martinice, and then -pioceeaed to St. Kitts
with a convoy of 15 fail. Hauled up for •*
brig we saw under Guadeloupe, which Ihew
ed a Swcdifli jack. As we had every reason
to ftpptife her a French vefTel, beat all handc
to quarters, the usual mode we adopt on
feeing a (trange> fail. We gave her a gun,
and (hewing our cilours, but file kept her
wind to the fou'hward, Until w.e had fired
14 fliot at her, when she hauled down lirr
colours and came under our lee. She proved
to be a Swedifli brig of ?e> 11 pounders and
90 men. After examination, let her pro

" The 19th were ordered out on a cruise.
On the 2 2<i re-captured the fchr. Vidory,
