BOSTON, June 28,.
A Correspondent, thinks it rather c
hard, that the Federal Government (
liiotild be slandered, on the one hand,
for preserving a lli ict neutrality ; and
cenfufed, 011 the other, for having vio-
lated it, in permitting the French Che- c
fapeake fleet to put to sea, during the /
continuance of the-embargo. As to llic
latter charge, the United ltates has an a
excuse, as A t ' nl ' ra ' Vanltable was de- ()
termi-.ied to put to lea at all evepts ; and
had an attempt been made to oppose
him, he was determined to appeal to j f
tile ultima ratio —and he could have
urged it home with force. 0

RUMOUR.
Dame Rumour will a story get,'
From ev'ry one a little bit ;
And if perchance there's not fufficient,
She patches where it is deficient—
By Retail Rumour gets a story,
' By H hole/ale lays it all before ye.—
And by wholesale indeed have the
southern- Manufacturers and Venders >
poured it forth of late. In the Phila
delphia papers we fee headed by " Im
portant Intelligence,"alarmingaecounts,
Under Oath, from a pevfon at Pitfburg,
that the Six Nations, at the instigation
of the Britilh, had joined the other hof
tilc Indians—that they were to attack
and take Foit Franklin—destroy the
settlements at Cufawago, &c &c Three
days after this, a letter from the Same
Person, written at the Same Place, con
t radiits in toto the former intelligence—
and irffirms that the Six Nations conti
nued friendly, and that no fears are en
tertained at Fort Franklin.
At Norfolk—the centre of alarming
authenticity—they have intelligence di
rect from London, by a Mr. Davis, !
who left " the Royal Exchange in
London," about the middle of April—
at which time " there was a Revolu
tionary army of 60,000 men in Lon
don"—headed by the D»ke of Cla-
Tance, (the King's third son) and the
Duke of Bedfoid—that at the head of
this force, the latter siddrefled the King,
coming from the House of Lords, in
forming him, that the people no longer
wished his ferviefcs in England, nor did
they wish to hurt him, but advised his
retiring immediately to Hanover, whe
ther it is said, he had previously sent an
immense sum of money ! ! ! Thus far
Norfolk.
At New-York—they have, in addi
tion to an account of a skirmish between
the Vermonters and British, in which 7
of tlie former and 11 cf the latter were
killed—another alarming report, " That
two British frigates, having persisted in
puffing Castle-William, (at Bolion,)
were hailed, then powder fired, then a
ball, which last caiifed them to put their
btlm a lee ; at which moment the ball
Was returned, and men killed at

fipd that thepropofed Lottery will not fall

as you pleale."
Signed by thathree Commiffip tiers.
ExtrdU from Mr. Carroll's letter, Jan. 6*
, -**~lt gave us al! very great pleasure to
I find that the law did not prevent us from
I c arrying into execution the intended Lot
tery, as it not commence till the firft
of June, and any time which may be tho't
I proper, can betaken for the completion of*
I >t» T'e important ejfefls from this, as tut 11 as
I from future Lotteries must be evident."
As it became legally necelfary, I receiv-
I ed the advicc oi the commiflioners to pub-
I lifli the fecund Lottery, in May'l793, and
I informed them of my having made a sale
los tickets ptior to the firft of June. The

J tinucd most of the time fij>ces in either the

I tifement annexed to the febeme, aspublilh*
'1 ed inMr. Ft nno's and Mefirs. Angell and
I Sullivan's papers, I have by me in the hand
I writing .of Mr. Johnson. iam as sorry to
I find he has so soon forgot a child of his own,
I as I am that the commiflioners Ihould *"aii
1 till more than twelve months have
I before they offired their ohje&ions to ei-
I ther Lottery. This is unfortunate so* them
I since it ha'; left ground far suspicion, at least
I refpettmg the tfrue cause of their preient
I advertisement—which I believe to origi-
I nare in a pique, or party fpiiit- only, ; and
I have the following teafons in fuppott of my
I belief i
I Col. William Deakins and myfelf gave
j Jaw bonds for a due performance of our
I trust— but no idea of a collateral lecnrity
r I was ever even hinted, til an unfortunate
I mifundt frftanding a«of« refpeflirtg an im-
I portant sale ot the public Lands.
J' A? commiliioner of faJes, and as a donor
I of the public lands, it jjecame my dutj in
I a double capacity to state my objections*
I with those of most of the other city pro-
I pfietors* which not having the weight we
t I expected, I resigned from difguftj my office
. I of fupervifo , and commiflioner of sales.
j I But at the icqueft of some refpe&able
I proprietors, 1 ajreedwith the commiflion-
I ers toa<st ax an occafionai agent for the city
I provided that no pay Hiowld be annexed to
i I this employmetUj in which I still continue.
I About this time my pride in confeqtience of
Y I our mi fund rftanding, induced me t6 ten
«» ! der coilareral cw»ity to the Commiflion

" kindly offered to receive my bonds and
"jj security in behalf of the public, I ve
-6 turn him my grateful acknowledge

If the Commiflioners instead of an
unwarrantable affectation of doubt, will

Gentlemen in consequence of the difa

them to relieve themselves from their
real or pretended burthen, as early j
possible. I have now only to allure the
Public and the Proprietors, that no
change of mind or person in the Com
