p-rf.m went to the place where Dr.
Beard, the brigade itilpeftor for Wash
ington county, was hearing appeals
made by feme of the militia of a bat
talion who had been called upon for a
proportion of the quota of this state,
of the eighty thuufand men, to be in
t-'afjiiiefs agreeably to an aft of Con
giefs; There were upwards of fifty
there witli their fire-arms, to whom it
was related, that the federal fheriff (as
thevftiled the marshal) had l>een serving
writs in Alleghany county, and carry
ing people so Philadelphia for not com
plying with the excise laws, and that
he was at Gen. Neville's house. It
was then in the night of the 15th ot
la ft month ; between thirty and forty
flew instantly to their, arms, and march
cd towards Mr. Neville's, above twelve
wiles,diltant, where they appeared ear
ly next morning. Your excellency has
already heard the tragical event.
It should be added, that the delin
quents, againll whom the marshal had
process, told him they would enter their
ftiils and pay him the excise, together
with the colls of suit. Major Lenox
applauded their prudent conduct, and
told them, that though he had not au
thority to comply with their willies,
yet, if they would enter thei;- (tills with
the infpeftor, and procure his certificate
and fend it to Philadelphia, upon pay
ment of the money due with the colts,
he was persuaded all further prosecution
would be stayed.
If this detail is true, it is evident the
jut rages committed at Mr. Neville's
*rere not owing to deliberate precon
.■erted measures, but originated in an
jnbridled gut of passion, artfully raised
imong young men, who may have been
.t the time too much heated with strong
drink.
On Monday evening Mr. Attorney
;eneral Bradford, informed us, that the
entlemen appointed by the President
«>uld be glad to have a conference with
-hose appointed by the governor, ref
ecting our rtfpective millions. To
lis we cheerfuilly agreed, observing,
hat though ou. - views might be the
f»me, the means adopted might other
wise counteract or militate with each
..rher. Accordingly we met 011 Tuel
d*ay morning, and verbally communica
■ d our refpefiive powers, which were
found in fubflance to be the fame. It
as agreed that we should jointly confer
v ith a committee, named for that pur
pose, at the convention on the 14th inlt.
Parkinlon's ferry, and who are'to re
s >rt to a committee of sixty, called a
c immittee of fafety, on the firft Tuef
c■.inference sve should withdraw, and
then federally make our proposals in
v rlting, and reqiieft an answer thereto
i. so in w^ting.
Itrainea on Wednesday from morning
itilthe afternoon, which delayed the ar
/al of the committee of twelve until it
as late, some of them having rode near
fixty mdes. They sent three gentlemen
their number to the commififioners to
oi'tify their arrival, and fix the time and
■ ice for the conference, which it was
. reed should be next morning at ten
lock, at the inn of Mr. M'Mafleis,
i conducted in private. We met ac
ct 1 dingly and conversed together freely for
fa eral hours. The supposed grievances
re numerous, but they dwelt principally
their being filed in the courts of the
ited States, and compelled to attend
ds at the distance of three hundred
ies from their places of abode, before
ges and jurors who are strangers to
1 ■m, and by whom the credit due to wh
its, entirely unknown, routd not be
, ■ perly efiimatect; arid their inability to
;:>y the excise, ow ing to the restrained
i! te of their trade and commerce, Every
a: ;) umcnt against an excise wa urged, and
fbe excessive ferment and rage at present

graciously, and will be introduced in

Immediately upou the rife of Parlia
ment, which takes place on Tuesday
next, a new arrangement in the Cabinet,
which has been for some time talked of,
will, we have reason to believe, be an
nounced. The Duke of Portland and
Mr. Wyndham, and we believe the Earl
Fitzwilliam, certainly come in.

Lord William Bentinck, son of the
Duke of Portland, sets off immediately
to join his regiment under the command
of the Earl of Moira.
Sir James Saumerez, with the squa

In the attion of the 29th of May,

By the last accounts from La Vendee,
it appears, that the Royalists have again
shewn themselves in force in different
parts of the country. They have got
possession of Ancenie3 and Varlon, and
have had several anions with the Re
publicans in different parts near the
coast, in almost all of which the Royal
ists have succeeded.
The Prussian accounts state the num
bers of th? Combined Armies of the
Ruffians anS Prufiians in the late aflion
with the Poles, at 25,000 men ; and
admit that the forces of the enemy did
; not exceed 20,000. They do the great
est justice to the cool valoilr of their
opponents and military skill of Kofci
ufko.—The surrender of Cracow is con
.
! brined.
There never was a nation tnore com
pletely duped than England throughout
the whole of the present war. She was
. one of the last involved in the business,
but either through pride or foliy soon
became the principal.—She still persists,
though the King of Prussia has with
drawn himfelf, and the Spaniards are
on the eve of acknowledging what we
! must in the end do—the French Re
public. The Emperor is unable to fight
much longer without a subsidy ; the
Empress has not, nor will afford us the
least assistance, and in thisreduced situ
ation are we carrying on the war against
the innumerable armies of the French
Republic.
The Marquis Cornwallis is 011 his re
turn to England, and our readers will
hear with surprise the cause of his so
1 fpcedily retracing his steps. The king
of Prussia has officially fignified to the
Noble Marquis, that in consequence
. of the unforefeen burst of Jacobin prin
ciples in Poland, and that they infa
moufly refufe to submit to the happy
servitude so graciously, so kindly, and
honorably provided for th:m by the
allies of Great Britain, he finds it in
convenient to fulfil his Treaty with the
British Court. He acknowledged hav
ing received from Britain Six Hundred
Thousand Pounds sterling in advance,
and this sum, as it is inconvenient for
him to repay at this time, he will carry
to account, but he would be happy to
fee the Noble Marquis at Berliu, to ex
plain to him how perfectly he enters, in
sentiment, into the views of his cousin
with regard to France, and how earnest
he is to prefcrve the good uuderitanding
which so happily fubfifti between the
two countries. Lord Cornwallis did
not accept of the Royal invitation—
but returns forthwith, and his dispatch
hasjuft been in time to prevent a third
instalment of three hundred thousand
pounds from failing to Hamburgh.
The Duke of Portland was yester
day at Court, and after a levee and an
audience of his Majesty for near two
hours in his closet, the rumour was,
that he attended in consequence of the
new arrangement that has been formed,
to receive the Seals of Office, as Se
cretary of State, in the room of Mr.
Dundas.
We trust that the Duke of Portland
will not so far forget'his dignity as to
come into adminiftrution with a set of

gravely to'J in Le journal de la Guerre,
published at Bruuels on the 23d ; —' that
it appears by a peri'on just eJ'caped from
Paris, that the inhabitants of that city are
in the utmost trepidation, on accojnt of
tlie approach of the Christian arfiiy, which
is within a few leagues of the capital—
and it is gravely added, ' that the Con

before Charleroi, Ypres, &c. in order to
de fend themselves from the infurgeiits of
La Vendee.'
When the Marlborough was dismasted
in the late action by the fire ol the Terrible,
two midshipmen, ilationed in the round
tops, with the men quartered there, fell
with the mails into the sea, but fortunate
ly got back again into the ship. One of
these young gentlemen is the fbn of Mr.
Shsrland, ofJßriftol.—The malls by their
fall demolished the hen-coops—a game
cock which was in one of them, on being
liberated, flew upon the flump of the mafti
mast, and kept crowing and clapping his
wings during the remainder of the acSion.
He has been ever since such a favorite with
tiiebrave tars, that they requested the officer
whose property he was, and from,whom
this account comes, to let him remain
with them on board.

Yesterday died the hon. Edward
Bouvcrie uncle to the Earl of Radnor,

was occafioiicd by a wound which he

Yesterday died at her apartments in

held her lituation upwards of 50 vears,
and was 86 years of age. Mrs Betty
used to Ilile herfelf the oldest member of

From Copenhagen we learn that the

It is find some alarming lyrtiptoms

We are also told of a tumultuous
disposition having discovered itfelf at
Rome, which it is found very difficult
to keep within due bounds—Here also,
as at Madrid, (what will be deemed sur

DUBLIN, July 8.
Notwithstanding the superiority of
the British fleet, the French continue
still to maraud on the British trading
