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.

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.

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.
