NEW-YORK, Sept. 2
The inhabitants of Baltimore have
been repeatedly alarmed with the report
of the yellow fever's existing among
them—their health eommittee have as
often examined and repoi ted that fucli
apprehenlions were groyndlefs. From
a publication of Dr. Buchanan we learn
that it is sickly in Baltimore, and some
have died suddenly of putrid disorders,
but he denies that the difeai'e is conta-
gions.
The truth seems to be, iMeafesof a
putrid and malignant nature, have pre
vailed in the United States for three or
four years palt more than was formerly
the cafe. The Scailetina Anginofa,
or scarlet fever has been in various parts
of the Country, with every variety of
symptoms, from a inild catarrhal tom
plaint, with some fever and little disco
loration of the skin (as it appeared in
the writers family) to amoft malignant
putrid fore throat. In Wethersiield,
in Connecticut, a putrid fever raged
last ftimmer, which answered the dis
ease formerly called the long or flow fe
ver—the patient lying ill for 30 or 40
days. In some towns the dyfcntery
lias been unfually obftimite and fatal.
In New Haven at this time there is a
putrid fever of a moll fatal kind, and
in its fymptotns resembling the fatal fe
ver of Philadelphia ; but it is confined
to few people. A putrid fever is now
found in vatious northern parts of this
state.
From all these fafta, we may fafely
pronounce, with Dr. Rush, that the
Yellow Fever in Philadelphia and all
the putrid fevers in various parts of the
country ate generated in the United
States.

This may certify, that the deputation
sent from that part of the tribe cf Stock
bridge Indians, defirons to lease their
lands have been heard; and that the
i obje£l of their million appears to be
good, therefore it dtferves deliberate
attention, both as it refpeib them and
the settlement of this country in gene
ral. The earth was made for cultivation
if the Indians, from whom this de
putation was sent, have more than they
can cultivate themselves, justice and rea
son dilate the propriety of leafing a
part, that some profit may arise for the
support of themlelves and their families,
and that none of this fertile country
may continue a barren wildcrnefs. The
deputation may rely upon it, that this
matter (hall be attended to, and some
thing decisive entered upon, so soon as
information 3nd advice can be obtained,
which will enable the persons concerned
to proceed according to the laws of this

MOSES FOOT,
\ From ihe Baltimore Daily Intelligencer.
MedYs. Printers,
When the feelings of humanity are
powerfully awakened, the mandates of
ju It ice flagrantly spurned at, and help
less humans made fubje&s of cruelty*,
the tender heart and humane mind to
relieve the ooprelfcd, if not to puiijlh
the oppressors, readily prompts to the
promulgation thereof; rfafonably flip
poling, and anxiously hoping, that the
following publication oi an extrafl of a
letter, dated Cambrige, July 7, may
have the above effect, the recent in
Itance of aggravated lidn<:pping thereii;
contained, is exposed to public view.
" In the month of May last, the
schooner Hope, laid to be owned and
then commanded by a Captain Smith,
failed from James R'Ver, about 30 miles
from Peter/burgh, to the lo*ver part of
Dorchester county, on bo;ird of whieU
veflel there was a certain Elijah Devaii
(mark the unparalleled insolence and
perfidious delign of these miscreants).
Their avowed, intention was to decoy,
take off, and fell as Haves all the free
negroes they could make the unhappy
victims of their cruelty, which fact is
| authenticated by taken be
fore the afl'ociate jullices of that county
and to complete their cruel purpose, fe
veral attempts were made (one only oi
a |]ave]_; but luckily for the unwar;
Llacks, they did succeed in the cafe o
three only, a woman and her two chil
drcn, all iiidifputably free, being f(
born, who had lived with a Mrs. Mar;
Woodard, of thf fame county. TheC
unhappy beings were at fir if taken b;
two young men of the fame place, t<
wit, James Woolford ' arid Join
Craig, who, being arretted, before thi
juitices nforefaid, confefled the wholi
charge, upon the promise of interceflioi
with the governor in their behalf, upor
the condition of their liberating am
bringing back these unhappy fubjefts o:
their inhuman traffic. They wt.it. tt
the place of ihis cruel scene, but thei:
too late, the velfel having tailed. Cap
tain Smith reported it to be his inten
tioH to go to but it is to b<
presumed that no deception by one ft
hackneyed iii cruelty would be unulet
to cover his detign. However, froi;
the information of a Mr. Lecompte
one of the altbciate justices, (whose vi
gilauce and a£tiv.ty 011 this occalion me
rit no fmallcomritendatioti) .t is fuppo
fed that this unfortunate woman anc
children were taken up James River
tho', as yet, nothing certain of theii
deftiyation has been learned."
When the blejfings and benefits ol
life are thus, by the merciless hand o:
cruelty, at ouce cut off—when the mart
endearing privileges of humanity, foci
ety and freedom aie deluged by tyranny
and Well nigh all that is dear to huraai
exiltence grasped by the hand of oppref
Con—who could bear the painful ftroki
with much less ailliftion than keen de
fpair I And what wonder Ihould thi
cry of vengeance pursue the a<Ftori> ii
this horrid scene ? .W-hat mind that feel
for human —what eyes that fk>v
with tear# of pity—what bread tha
throbs With psnofijl forrow>—will no
for, these unhappy hi'imans feel pity
care, or w«ep ? and what heart tha
bipeds at injured innocence will n'ot wit!
indignation burn agsintt those furie
clothed in human (hape ?
Thus, Oflaveiyi at thy shrine ar
mankind yet still seen to bow, and tii;
altars to be stained with human blciod
Well may the unhappy fufferer, in til
language of remonitrance, exclaim—
" While in thought as free as ever,
What ate tyrants' rights, I alk
Me from my delights to fever,
Me to torture,. me to talk •?
Slaves of gain, whoft fordid dealings
boasted powers,
Prove that you have haman feeling?,
Ere ye proudly quell ion ou»*s."
(0- Tis hoped that th* Vnetolen
jurpofe of the above will be laudabl)
tided by giving it a place in the different
»aper« of this 'and the neighbouring
tates.
August 28, 1794-
From the Minerva.
Remarks on the Democratic declaration,
Pulli/hed in the morn ng papers of
Monday, lajl week.
The firft and second articles are very
well for the most part —The only ob ec
tion to them is that they are quite use
less—the Republican friends to our go
vernment having anticipated rhe senti
ments, and made them a rule of their
peaceable coJiduft. These article*
therecfore only come in to bring up the
rear of public opinion.
The third article is tlill more useless;
for not only luis every conciliatory step
been laketi with tl'iefe refractory iniur
gents, but the President lias lately sent.
commiiiioners to perfuadc them to sub
mit to the laws, before he resorts to the
use of forcible means : and this lince
they have aiifeit in open rebellion.
This article therefore ftamls for nothing,
unless it is lo (hew that democrats may
be right if they will follow the Preh
dent even at agieat dillance
Article 4th items to be a vote of
thanks to Governor Mifßin for attempt
ing negotiation with ihe infur,gents—
this is well enough—But why is the
Prehftent forgotten in this vote of ap-
probation ? Why do not the democrats
approve of the Prelident's conduit in
leading commiilioners, as well as go
vernor Mifflin's ?
In the sth article, the decided opinions
contain a number of decided errors.
That the mode of colle&ing rever-1
tues by cxcife is opprefiive and danger
ous to civil liberty is not always true—
it may be true and it may be falfe ; ii
the colle&or is armed with powers that
are hostile to liberty, the law is danger
ous : if not, it is not so. The propo
rtion that excii'cs ate always and necef
farfly dangerous and opprellive is not
true —In America,"the excise duties are
as little oppieffive as any .tax that is
paid and the outcry agaiuft than is till
a iham pretaxt of turbulent men to co
ver their ill defigris. . J
Nor is an txcife duty less equal in
its operation than other duties. It is
as equal as an impost and infinitely more
equal than a land tax can pofiibly be.
This afleition of the demociats is there
fore as untrue, as the last—at lealt
fame obje&ion be made to all tax
es, not one of which is or can be per
fectly equal.
That excises produce vexations is local
ly true —that* is, if peopie are crass and
wilful about paying duties of ai.y kind,
they wijl be ve-.cd at paying an escife ; but
p ople who are difpofrd to comply with
| all reasonable requisitions of government
I arc not Vexe-'i with the excise. Is or have
j excises generally been productive of viol
• ence, or ot tranquility in coun
| tries where they have been eflabhlhed —
| Jn the infaiicts, in which they have pro-j
i duced theie effects, i; has been owing to a
1 tyrannical mode oi colit'ilinjj the dutis,
which is not the cafe in America, the law
>' having guarded the -liberty and property
' of its i'ubjt&s from ac'ls of op&reflien.
As to the number of officers it creates,
the democrats are wretchedly out in their
calculations. Long experience and incoa
j tellable facfls prove that no taxes ecctpt
:■ im' create foJew cjpCers &io little ex
pence of colle&ion as excises.
j One' remanlc more—These democrats
! declare they dilapprove of forcible reflfift
. i ance to the law, bad as it is, yet in a mo
\ ment declare, that excises " tend to excite
"j alarming jcaloufes and diffentions which
; t can only ejid in opposition and refinance
. < bn one part, and violence and oppression on
L the other."
This looks very much like a hand-1
some apology for the inforgcnts—it is j
faying, the fault is in tne government
which has driven them to retiftance, and
now "to 1 quell them by forcc for their
treasons, wilt be violence and opprufiio.n
on the part of government. Strip off
the cover, and this is the amount of the
whole publication.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.
A letter dated Conandarqui, An
guft 12, lays, " I am informed by an
Indian from the Welhvard that the In
dians 101 l seventy men in their late at
tack on Fort Recovery—and that the
Canandawagas are returning to lower
Canada ; a party who have been attive
in the war with the hollile Indians ; the
infoimant favs two were killed and one
wounded of this party."
A letter from the we ft ward fays that
the Committee of twelve on the pan of
the Insurgents have fully acceded to the
proportions of the State Commissioners
—and promise their influence to induce
the Committee of Sixty to do the fame.
A letter from Cadiz, dated the fif
teenth of July, was received by Cap?.
Blomller which fays that! BaUiaiurrender
ed to Lord Hood only for th" want of
provisions, not on account of the tire
of the besiegers—that it was expe&ed
the whole island would be conquered,
but that the acquisition wonld coit the
English, Italian, and Neapolitan troops,
much more than it is worth ; that the
Spaniards have been again defeated in
Catalonia, notwithstanding which, le
vies of men, and every preparation to
prosecute the war, proceed with thjc
greatest vigor, and it is the general ex
pectation that something dec-five will
i take nlace before the campaign clofts.
The JJoufc qf Reprefentativfs were
