.sed, that a banditti has fettled lands al
lotted by treaty to the Indians, as a
part of their temporary hunting
grounds, in open violation of law and

j4n ACT to authorize the Governor to
Jufpcnd the laying out a Town at
Pr.fqu' IJle, and for other purpojes
therein mentioned.
WHEREAS-it appears, by fundrv I
documents referred to by the Governor,
that in consequence of an appreheniion
of some nneajjnefs arising amongst the
Six Nations of Indians, the President
of the-United States was of opinion,
that a suspension of the laying out a
town at I refqu' f lie, would be advifea
ble, until some mcafures were taken to
quiet their minds: and whereas the
Governor of this CoTnmonwealth has,
agreeably to said opinion, suspended the
operation of said laws, until he had
convened the legislature ; and whereas
it appears,from theveafons above assign
ed, that a further suspension thereof
would be proper, therefore,
Sec. I. Beit enatied by the Senate and
IJouf of Reprefen'atives of the Common
wealth of Pennflvania, in General af

dred and ninety four, did draft from the
companies railed by virtue of the af»re
faid aft, a certain number of itici, for
the protection of the Commiflioners ap
pointed to lay out a town at Prefqu'lfle.
and as the laying out said town has been
hitherto suspended, and by this a<S the
Governor isauthoiized to continue the
suspension : and whereas the party so
drafted as aforefaid, have made conside
rable fortifications at Le Boeuf, and that
being now considered as a post of great
importance to this State, and may per
haps facilitate the operations of the ge

BALTIMORE Sept.
Extradt of a letter from an officer of the
Baltimore volunteers, dated Saturday
evening last, the 20th instant, 7o'
clock.
" A gentleman this moment from
Hagerftovvn, informs me, that about
twenty of the principal insurgents are
taken and committed ; two others Baker
and Boyer, have made proposals to de
liver themselves up provided they can be
prote&ed from the rage of the populace.
My informant may be depended upon
as he was witness to the examination,
and he described them terrified beyond
everything he ever saw : he is certain
that the schoolmaster (aprincipal leader)
is among those taken and he believes
that M'Coy(alfo a noted charadter) is
a prisoner with the others. When the
governor leaves this 1 feel a confidanee
that we fliall be immediately diicharged.
AUGUSTA, August 20.
Extraß from 'Judge Walton's Charge to
the Grand °jury of Chatham county,
" Poflefling, then gentlemen, such
an important trust in the interests of
your fellow-citizens, and the communi
ty, how mnch above party prejudice,
personal hatred, and overweaning at
tachment, {hould your minds be ele
vated. To my moderate understand
ing, and sense of probity* nothing ever
appeared so odious and disgusting as
mal-praftices in courts of jtiftice, pro
ceeding either from a corrupt source, or
from any influence affecting the truth
and right of the cause. In speaking
thus, I would not have it supposed that
I fear any such condjift in you. I know
you all better : But it is a doctrine so
essential to public order, and private
security, that it cannot be too often
brought into riew.
" This principle forces itfelf upon us
with the greater energy, from the exist
ence of that spirit of (peculation which
seems to have seized hold on all depart
ments, and orders of people,. from the
man in office to the tiller of the foil.
Few things are now-condu&ed in the
ordinary way : before they can be effici
ent, they must whirl through the vortex
of fpeculr.tion. To be appointed t» of
fice, it is not neceflary to be fit for it;
but to be apt inche trade of this for that;
to have acquired facility of combination,
and political intercourse, and to conli
der fuccefsful deceit as moral propriety ;
but is to be hoped the good sense of
the people will return to ftfelf, and res
tore the estimation of talents, of virtue,
and integrity."
WHEREAS from a hope, that the
combinations againlt .the Conlliiutioii
and Laws of tiir United States, in cer
tain of tiie Wellcrn comities of Penn
sylvania would jrjeld to time and reflec
tion, I thought it fufficieht, in the hrll
iiltance, rather to tale measures for call
ng forth the militia, than immediately
o embody them ; —but the moment is
low come, when the overtures of for
fivenefs with no other condition, than
. fubmillioq to Law, have been only
initially accepted—when every form of
onciliation not inconfiitent with the

TRENTON, September 23.
On Wednesday afternoon last, Go
vernor Howell left this place, with
about 400 Jersey Horse, and proceeded
on his way through Newtown, Norris
town, &c. to the general rendezvous at
Carlisle ; and yesterday, Gen. White
marched with the reiidue of the quota
from this date./
Oil Monday lafl matched from the
encampment between tiiis town and
Lamberton, 600 Jetfey Blues, being
the fit ft regiment of Infantry of this
State, complete, under the immediate
command of Col. Forman, and proceed
ed by' the fame route to the general
rendezvous.—Among these were several
volunteer companies—We cannot hefp
noticing, in particular, the spirit and
disinterestedness of a battalion in Col.
Black's regiment, of Burlington coun
ty—2s men were the quota required,
and on the day appointed for forming
the clafles, near ten times the number'
might with ease have been raised—
The clades being complete, and each
by lot furniftiinjT a man, numbers step
ped forward and immediately offered to
take their plr.cei—fome even offeiing
eight dollars for the privilege—but, to
the honor of the class-men be it spoken,
they to a man refufed all offers, marched
immediately, completely uniformed, and
joined the encampment —These 25 are
from the New-Mills and its neighbour
hood. The whole body ma.ched in
high spirits and in the utmost harmony,
huzzaing for the laws and cohftitution.
The fecand regiment is nearly all arriv
ed—General Bloomfield only waits
its completion, and is expe&ed to march
in a few days.
Major-Geaeral Freiinghuyfen has of
fered his services to the President, to
raise and march at the head of ioo vo

that the number is made up, and will be

Intrudes himlelf again on the public*
with his cursory oblervations of lad
night's performance at the Old Thea
tre. Jhe much admired comic opera
of Love in a Village promised a pleasing
rep'itft to the lovei s of inulick, ar.d if
he may form an opinion from a crouded
—the brilliant appearance of the
Boxes and the general fatisfa&ion
that diflufed in every countenance,, he
may fairly pronounce nothing was loft
by the anticipation.
This Opeia gives an opportunity of
displaying the musical talents of a new
candidate on the boauls. The bill of
Fare informs the public that it is his
firtl attempt on -any stage. Mr. Carr.
undoubtedly poflelTes great merit, and
notwithltanding an evident perturbation
of spirit, he performed young Meadow*
With uriiverfal applause j no doubt he
will soon repeat his attempt, and he may
assure himfelf that he will meet a cordi
al and unanimous reception. The Bye
ttander recommends him to study a little
more of the Suaviler in Modo in moving
his arms, which may have proceeded
from the embanall'ment natural on a fiid
appearance,
Mr. Prigmore in Justice Woodcock
gives the jiyllander an opportunity of
rendering him an ample testimony of
approbation his conceptions of the Chara
cter were (with i'ome trifling Exceptions
perfectly jult—his Whim and humour
kept the house in a Roar, —In luch Callt

regrets the occasion of reminding the per
formers in general that they often from
choice perfoliate Characters unsuitable to
their genius—person or abilities, which
will accutint for his remarks in this paper
of the 24th inft. of Mr. Prigmore in Youngj
Cockney,
Mr. Hodgkinfon's Hautliorn was
unequivocally excellent. Mrs. Hodg
kiiilon in Rofetta, was perle£tly challe,
and delighted all; but jultice has a
forcible claim on the exertions of Mrs.
Pownall, in Madge—whose fame and
character as a firit rate linger remains
undilputcd—there is an archness so na
tural to this lady that never fails to
please—any imitation of which, would
be diftortion—ihe was admired,applaud

The Midnight Hour followed, ancj
•tinifhed as if by a spell exadtly as the
Clock struck twelve—The performance
in general gave fatisfaition, but some
parts appeared as if fometbing was want

till the concluding of the last Aft.—lt
is not so much the matter of being per
