boated with ideas of his military prow
ei's, wants to be dealing in blood.
" Tliat nothing remarkable occurred I
from the return of the deputies until
4pie 6tii of February, when mad Antho
ny began to be alarmed at the profpedt
or peace. He then ordered out Capt.
Hartihorn, with a feledt party, to open
a waggon road, thirty-five miles, on a
course vpry different from that by which
tlie Indians were ordered to come in,
anJ by the molt direct route towards
t heir iettlements. The Captain finifhed
ihe bulinefs, and returned to the camp
on the 12th, and if we may judge from
appearances, the measure has answered
tlie purpole intended, as nothing has
been seen of the entmy, as late as the
fiiit of March, except iinall rcconnoiter
;ng parties, whiclv-have not, however,
offered to injure citizen or soldier.
" That to back the road-cutting
scheme, the General had projected an
expedition to maich immediately after
liie time appointed for the Indians to
come in, had expired; and for this pur
pose, the light-horse had been ordered
fVom Kentucky, and large l'upplies of
llores, prcTilions and forage, had been
ordeted to Greenville, at a vail expence,
where the light-horie, after a travel ot
iyo or 18'o miles, through mud, belly
deep, arrived on the evening of the 1 oth,
with many hundied pack-horses, and
immense droves »f fwinc and bullocks.
" That after keeping a|l things toge
ther for two days, and feafting himfelf
bn these evidences oi his omnipotence,
mad Anthony difcove ed that ti« leaton
of the year was inipropei for the pnrpofe,
and that the country was under water.
" That in consequence of this dilco
*ery, which required a prodigious effort
of his genius, he determined to eat the
provilions at Greenville, and fend back
the ligbt-horfe and pack-horses to their
former stations. Our informant observes,
that the general has an excluiive right
to the whole merits of this expedition,
and as the event has not disappointed
any perfoh of common lenfe, and the
expence may not exceed twenty thou
sand dollars, he thinks the public have
no cause to complain, as it might have
terminated much woife.
" That since this affair, nothing re
markable had happened, and that the
general had resumed his business of war
•making, and discovering which way the
water rati from certain points, a ciieum
iiance which has caused him great per
plexity and confufion of ideas.
" Our informant states as matter of
fa£t, that the discontent, the drinking,
quarreling, fighting, and li
centiousness of almoit all ranks, exceed,
ed all example. He adds, that these
melariLholy truths have been produced
in a great measure by the conduit and
example of the general, whose manners
are despotic, whose judgment is feeble,
infirm, and full ot prejudice; whose
temper is irascible and violent ; whose
language is indecent and abusive, and
whose conduit to his officers is capri
cious and irregular, being at one time
childishly familiar, and at another ty
rannical and over-bearing.
That instead of retraining exces
ses by his authority ; instead of repre
hending the dissolute, and cultivating
the meritorious officer, he makes no
diftin&ions but in favor of his tools, spies
, -and toad-eaters.
" That acting above all laws .divine
and human, he ailigns the Sabb|th*for
extraordlnaiy fatigues; and ove>turns,
without veafon, or suppresses in viola
tion of law, the proceedings of a ge
neral -court-martial.
" That to the shame and disgrace of
his cloth, he has confounded all ideas
of infamy and honor, by permitting
an officer who had been regularly cash
iered by a general court-martial, for
fraud and forgery, to resign a commif
fian, which he had in fact forfeited,
and difmifled him vith honor.
" That substituting domination for
law, and piivate resentment for justice,
he has arrested men of rank, and worth
on vexatious pretences, and has kept
them in confinement, and denied a trial
for months, whilst at the fame time he
has screened his pimps and parasites
from justice, and has refufed them to
'the law.
" That such things (hould exist is la
mentable, but that they do exist is too
true to be denied, and it requires 110
ipirit of prophecy to foretel what will
lie the end of a military corps, thus
conftrudled and thus conduced.
" Let those whom it concerns most,
look to the conferences."
" Hear both parties before ytu give
judgment."

DIED at Millington, in Eaft-Had
dam, the 24th of last April, Mr. James
Sawyer. Some months previous to his
death, he said he believed thei - e was not
a man in the United States, that had
lived as he had. On being aflced by
Dr. Beebee's son what he could fay lo
peculiarly of himfelf, he replied :
" I never owned an acre of land—l
never went to school but half a day in
my life—l never h»fl more than one
round dollar, and that more than 36
years pail, I can tell from whom I
received it, and to whom 1 pafs'd it—
I never had an holland shirt on my
back—l never owned a horn'd crea
ture, sheep, hog, jack-knife or dog-—
talted tea or tobacco.
"Twice I have been married,and paid
Mr. Bulkley of Colchefterthe firll time
in old tenor, the lait time, gave Mr. Ella
brook a day's work <ft splitting rails—
If I live till next December, shall be 86
years of age.—Beebee, continuing, alks
—how many lioufcs have you built?—
he replies—l do not know— 30 do you
think?—l don't know—Dare you rifle
it at 24? —I dare—How much did your
dwellings cost you on an average?—l
never kept an account of but one, and
that cost me 17 days labour—was it an
uncommon one?—lt was thebeft I ever
had."

PHILADELPHIA,
JUNE 2J.
Lajl evening an Express arrived in town
from the Head-Quarters of the IVeJlern
Army.
We ilnderttand that the fallowing was
the only material occurrence that had
taken place with the troops under
Major-General Wayne:
On the 13th of May last, the advan
ced guard of an escort of seventy infan
try, and eighteen dragoons, under the
command ot Lieutenant Clark, having
in their charge, 700 horses belonging
to the contractors, and the quarter mat
ter general's department, wevefuddenly
attacked by a patty of Indians, who
killed the corporal and five of the men,
by the firft fire.
The dragoons who were in the rear
of the advance party, headed by Lieu
tenant Lee of the infantry, charged the
Indians and put them to flight before
the infantry could come up, killed one
Indian, and took fix rifles, some blank
ets and provilions.
The army were to be reinforced by
mbunted volunteers fiom Kentucky,and
would probably soon move forward into
the Indian country in considerable force.
Extra-si of a letter from Capt. Slough, at
Fort-Hamilton, to his friend in this city,
dated May 28.
" I wrote you yesterday, informing you
of my being at this poll with a command of
120 infantry and 30 dragoons —of my in
tention to let out on my return to Green
ville with 700 pack-horses, loaded with
flour, early this morning ; since when,
Captain Lewis arrived from head-quarters,
with intelligence of Governor Simcoe's
being at Roufh de Boe, or the falls of the
Miami of the Lake with three British re
giments. What ett'eift this uiay hava on
the movements of the Legion I cannot tell,
but am inclined to believe it will be obliged
to retrograde very loon. lam very certain
I (hall be attacked on my way out, as the
Indians are very thick round us, and my
spies have discovered a very large trail be
tween this and fort St. Clair j the only
thing that can prevent it is Col. Strong's
being now on his way out from Fort WaJb
ington with a number of waggons and
paclchorfes, and as the supplies under his
convoy are of more consequence to the
enemy than these which I take, it is pofli
ble they may let me go clear —however,
be it as it may, I am content —If I am un
fortunate I will be brave, and meet my
fate like a soldier."

Trait of Civifm.
The Coinmiffioner on Certificates of
civifm having made his report, the Citi
zen A. R. Errard said Ray, an ancient
soldier of the fettion of the Republic,
presented himfelf—The reporter an
nounced him as a pensioner of io,oOq
livres, (violent murmurs) —The repott
er continued—This pension which had
been reduced to 3000 livres, Ray hefaid
had assigned to the wives of the de
fenders of the Country from his fe&ion,
(applauded)—Renouard asked if this was
the virtuous soldier of the fedliou of the
Republic, who had undertaken the
charge and education of fourteen chil
dren ?—of which, ten were of the fame
father and mother, and of whom he
had himfelf been the Inftruftor—Citi
zen Ray replied—l ftiould rather hear
from another the answer to the question
you propose—l ought to fay yes. Re
nouard, rejoined—A family composed
of children under age, loft their fathe r
and mother, they are without pare ms
and without support—the
came, but none were able to affor them
succour-Citizen Ray appeared
I have the means, and X will take charge
of them, (loud applaufe)—lt was de
manded from all lidos that his Certifi
cate of civiim should be given him—he
obtained it with public acclamations.
Here Citizen Ray spoke—l have
loft all my pareDts—l made myfelf a
father and fought confutation in huma
nity. The National Agent replied—
This is a fine lesson for the rich, who
ought to enjoy their riches in diflipa-
ting indigence—He demanded that a
collection Ihould be msde of aits which
honor humanity, that they should be
sent to the Committee of Public In
(trwetion to be preserved and transmit
ted to posterity. (Adopted)
The Pirefident gave to Citizen Ray,
the fraternal embrace, and invited him
to a feat among the members of the
council—T'he Citizen replied—after 50
years of service, you sweeten my de
clining age—He took his place and
the hall resounded with applauses.

Capt. Thomas, of the Ihip Jay, in
forms us, that the day previous to his
departure from Cork, an account arrived
there of a severe a&ion having been
fought in the Englilh channel, between
four Brilifli frigates and three French
frigates ; that two of the Englilh en
gaged two «f the French, and the other
two engaged the largest French frigate
of 44 guns ; that the adfcion commenced

tinued until 4 in the afternoon, when
the Frenchmen ftruek their colours.
We understand there were 5 English,
and 4 French, but one of the French
ran away before the adtion commenced,
and the other English frigate, said to be
the La Nymph, could not come up.
The French 44 gun fliip„ had all her

The focus was caused to (hine into

the water, or crack the glass.
As soon, however, as a piece of me

into the midst of the water, they became
too hot to be touched, and communi
cated their heat to the water, made it
not only warm, but the iron caused it to

Again—When the decanter was fill

was no ways made warm, or affected ; a
