Mr. Fe NNO, If the following Anecdote (hould ap pear to your readers in general to contain as much naivete as I think it does, they will be pleased with your luierting it. ABOUT twenty years ago two phy cians in New-York had a terrible dis pute in the neivfpapers, which they con tinued so long that almost every body grew tired of it:—a Quack, who then lived, in that city, wrote the following Epigram, which was published, and put an tnd to the dispute. " Between S. and P. what means all thi» pother ? You ass yoii, fa£s one, and you ass youi fzys t'other j But, wits,, hear the sentence which ev'iy one pafies, As sure as you're born, you ate both oi you ailes " Prom an lungi'ifh Paper. Mr. Pi inter, Your benevolence will hot be averse to communicate to the public the fol lowing faS; through the channel of your paper :—My footman, in bring ing up the urn for bteakfaft yesterday, fell with it an the stairs, and scalded both his hands and arms all over in a dreadful manner. His mistress had happened to menti on, in his hearing, but a few days be fore, the great benefit which (he and I had repeatedly experienced from apply ing INK immediately to a hum. The moment the young man met with this accident, he flew to tht ink bottle, and spread its contants wherevet the scald extended; In about an hour aftet, the pain was gone j he was able to wait on dinner ; and this morning he is perfect ly well. For the Gazette oj the United States. Mr. Fenno, THE late opposition to the Law in the attack on Gen. Nevill is perhaps too severely repiobated under an idea that the individuals who have thus transgres sed were aware oi the extent of their crime: This Sir, I may venture to af fuie you is far from being the truth, linee it is well known that a very great portion of these lawless men have but lately arrived in the country from Ire land, that they are so extremely ignorant of the free principles which govern our Republic, that they have readily believ ed the reports which a few discontented and wicked men havedifeminated among them ;—viz. That the rich people in the lower Towns pay no taxes—That two or three men have got all the pow er and almost all the money of the coun try-into their hands, and that they are ftnving to obtain the little that may be yet in the hands of the poor, through the medium of the Excise which they are told a llight opposition wiil remove. 1 his being a simple statement of facts, me next tiling will be, id consider the Jj fncdy. it may be extremely difficult to detest and to punish the villains who thus sow the fteds of discontent—it may be proper to attend to the foil where those obnoxious weeds arc sown. Some method mult be fallen into, by which, the ignorant Emigrants may be inftntfted in the nature and principles of our free government, before they are fuffered to run wild in the woods ; or if this cannot be effected all further im portation of ignorant and vicious men without Indnftry or any other ufeful i' qualification whatever ought to be rcf- I trained by government, and none (hould j be fuffered to land but such as (hould! ( bring vouchers for their social qualities : , for us to continue to import annually to ; our country, a set of men, who, in i Head of improving the lands, become | petty tyrants—who, either through ig» j norance or vice, mav be led to oveiturn jail Law and order, till one of their own | leaders, under pretence of Jetting things to rights, may plac." himfelf at the head of affairs, and govern us as he pleafcs, may one day make us the ridicule of all the world, if we are nut on our guard in futis e. With refpeit to the present question, I do not believe that in the inllance» the me rits of the law are the only object—but I ask, Will you my countrymen, i'upport the laws, as they are openly enacted by the free fujfragjs of your free reprcjenttitvves —-freely ehofen by vourfelvfcs—or will y<su be governed by a few ignorant and idle frelh imported foreigners fct on by mad men, who, under feigned names, admit each other, not by free fuffrage, but by dark andfeeret ballot into a dark dr.d fee ret conclave frorrt whence they avail them selves of the glorious freedom of the press to fend forth as much of their venom as they dare to publish ; the reft they intrust to secret corresponding committees. I demand of you, which do ypu prefer ? On your choice depends mine, for I am attached to no particular foil. I can fay with the immortal Franklin—" Where li berty dwells, there is my country." Yeurs, &c. PEREGRINE PEACEABLE. By this Day's Mail. MARTINSBURG, JULY, 28. Important Intelligence. Lad evening arrived here two gentle men from Lexington, Kentucky, which they left the 14th inilant, ana who favoured as with the following j interefl Lug intelligence. Extra/1 of a letter from a gentleman at Greenville, to his friend in Lexington, dated July 4, 1794. " On the morning of the 30th tilt, the escort of the convoy under M'lSfahan were attacked under the I walls of Fort Recovery, by upwards of one thousand, some fay about fifteeh hilndred Indians, who also a (Tanked that Fort in every dii-eftion, but were re. pulfcd with great (laughter ; they again renewed the attack, but tt a more ref peftable distance, keeping a very hea vy and constant fire all tliat day, and by intervals dining the night and morn ing of the firft instant, but were ulti mately compelled to retreat between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock of that day, with loss and disgrace from the very field where they had on a former occa" fion been proud and victorious. "We loft 2x men killed, and had 29 men wounded during the action ; among the fo.-mer, we have to lament the death of the gallant Major M'Ma. han, the brave Capt. Hart(horne, Lieut. Craig, and Cornet "lorry ; amongst the latter the intrepid Captain Taylor of Dragoons, and Lieut. Drake of the infantry. " In the course of the adtion upwards of two hundred horses were killed or taken ; but certain it is, a considerable | number were in poflcfiion of the enemy, loaded with dead Indians. " It does not appear that the enemy could poflibly have receivsd any inform ation of this escort; their object was to carry Fort Recovery by a coup de main* Major Wells, who has since reconnoitred the ground the Indians occupied on the day and night preceeding the a&ion, is decidedly of the opinion, that the ene. my had double the number of warriors in the aflault on the 30th ult. that they had in the adtion of the 4th of Novem ber, 1791. The above-mentioned gentlemen in form, that the fir'l dctachment ot Ge neral Stott's volunteer militia marched the nth inft. the second the' 14th, and the thiid were to march the 16th, to join General Wayne. By a traveller who pa.Ted through this town on Saturday morhing, and who left the Crab Orchard the lit inft we were informed, that General Scott had completed his body of 2000 volun teer horlemeu in -Kentuckey, before he left it, and that they were to set out on the 10th to join General Wayne at Greenville. There had been no recent adtion with the Indians as has been cut rently reported here lor foine days past. FREDERICKSBURGH, July 24. Ext rail of a letter from "an officer in the Western army, to his friend in this town, dated Dtagoon Encampment, June 26. " The British have advanced from Detroit up the Miami of the Lake as far as Roche de Bout, distant from our head-quarters about 75 miles; where they have eredted a fort, and have four pieces of artillery mounted. On our fide exertions are making for an adtive campaign J oiir regular force may be es timated at 1 70Q, fit for duty ; in addi ion to lhis£ we shall have upwards of zooo mounted volunteers from Kentue key." RICHMOND, July 28. The elegant corps of artillery and light infauty, commanded by Captains Quavrior and Richardson, returned on Saturday from the expedition on which they set out last Monday—We hear they did not reach the field of action, as the enemy were quelled by the gallantry and dispatch of the troop of hoHa of this city, who attended General Mar shall, the Commander in Chief of the several corps deputed 011 this expedition —It would give us pleasure if we could j?ratify our readers with the particulars of this affair, which appears to have been interesting and important in the higbelt degree, if we may judge from the celerity, with which the troops of this city, Petersburg, Norfolk, &c. See. were dispatched to the scene of danger. We trult however that the objedt is at tained without the lofi of any of eur brave and adtive fellow-citizens; as we presume a treaty must have been con cluded with the enemy or the troops would not hive been counter-manded. Last evening arrived in town from Smithfield, Captain Hicks and his Troop, of Cavalry, accompanied by General Marshall. ALEXANDRIA, July 29. The late attempt to fit out & priva-1 teer at Smithfield (on James River) merits the pointed disapprobation of every good citizen of Virginia. Pri vateering at best, that is, an individual of one nation seizing the property of an individual of another who never injured him, thbugh they arefubjedts of powets that are at war, cannot be called by any better name than licensed robbery : much less (houid it be countenanced when in ppen violation of the existing laws and the delared sense of the government and people at large. It is true the British have unprovoked and without the least plausible pretext, seized our vessels and interrupted and injured our commerce ; but we are not to redress the grievance by pradtifing the fame reprehensible condudt: nor is it the method an injur ed individual should p'urfue to obtain rcftitution, as the property of the inno cent is as likely to fall into his hands as that of the guilty. It would be ridicu lous >n a man who had a horse stolen to plead a right to take his neighbour's —the cases are not diflimilar. '• On the 4th of June Mr. Lewis Hipkins, of the Little Falls of Potow mack, was unfortuately bitten by a mad dog } on the 24th inft. symptoms of the canine disease appeared, which ter minated his exigence on the night of the 28th. Independent of the melan choly circumstances of his death, the loss of so good and ufeful a cititizen is a fubjedt of public regret." NEW-YORK, August 1. ' The following paragraphs are taken from a Montego Bay paper of the 28 th June, received yefterdry : We hear that the Rofc frigate is to go to the coast of America. Monday last arrived here the Ameri can brig Gratitude, Claik, from Phila delphia. It is reported that the post of Char boniere, which overlooked the plain of Port-au-Prine, and commanded the road leading thence to Jackmel, was taken a few days ago by a detachment from our troops, who are thus secured from any aflault on the part of the insurgents. The brigands totally failtd in their late assault on Tiburon. After their defeat they fled to a camp at a consider able distance, were attacked there, and nearly all cut to pieces. The Ia It arrivals have furnifhed this market with nearly 4000 barrels of flour. Monday, the 16th instant, his honor the Lieutenant Governor hiving grant ed permission to the French Royal, (h to teftify'their joy al the late fucceffss in St. Domingo ; Tc fleam Landings in lhankfgiving fortlie capture of Port-au- Prince, was performed here with all possible pomp and solemnity. The Reverend Rector and the Vestry of Kingston were pleased on this occa lion to facilitate the performance, by permitting it to be celebrated in the Pa rish Church. The astonishing concourse of French and English who were present, proved that they felt an equal interest in the fdccefs of his Majelty's arms. M. the Abbe Blacet, who officiated, pronounced a homily, which we regret was not fufficiently heard :—The senti ments' therein expressed were such as ought to adtu<«te every heart j union, oblivion of injuries, gratitude to their bcf.efadtors, and fidelity to their pro tedtors. The ceremony wss closed with "God save the King." sung by Madam Du- Bourg, accompanied by the organ and military music.—The chorus shewed how heartily the French united their voices with the English, when they pray for the King. We learn that Timothy Pickering, Esq. is to hold a treaty with the Six- Nations of Indians, the Bth day of next September. Extract of a letter from Le Belif, dat ed June 25. . .
