The 1 yceum of arts hastens to pre sent to the convention a discovery very important upon the wild Chefnut.

It is with affectionate and afflicting sorrow that we mention the sudden death of that zealous patriot and truly refpe&able citizen, Mr. Robert ElTiot, of this town, (one of the contractors for the supply of the army of the Uni ted States) who, it seems, after sustain ing the heat of the late glorious and well fought action, in which he render ed Angular service, was fired at and kill ed by the savages whilst riding along the road between two of our Wettern potts, accompanied by his servant only. Af ter he received the fatal wound, and judging it to be mortal, his native ten derness and prefeuce of mind prompted him to desire his servant to leave him arid fly for his own fafety—which with relu&ance tht servant did''—But fate de creed he (houid not long survive his matter 5 for the next day he, with two more of the party who went in -quest of theremains of Mr. Elliot, also fell fa crifices to the inhuman savages.

The Anfiver of his Excellency Governor LEE Comtnnnder in Chief of the Fe deral Valnntccri, to the Address of the IVaJkington Committee. I Your declarations of the good intend oris of the people of Walhington county, who have been pleased to depute you to prcftiht to rat certain papers containing af furarices of fidelity to government, cannn btit excite the ttldt agreeable sensations ii my breast. To restore happiness to oui deluded fellow-citizens of this country, bi restoring to them the complete enjoymerr of the bleTirigs flowing from the govtrn ment eftablilhcd by the people of th'e U nited States, it the chief object of the a vance of the army und£f my coram? arid its stay here will depend on the' tion of the work. Those individuals to whom may justly be attributed the awful criGs which has ar rived, among the many groundless tales which they have indufirioufly circulated Ua miflead 1 their fellow-citizens ii; the pur suit of their wicked and ambitious schemes told them -that the exdfe law was odious to the people, that the adminftration was corrupt, that British gold and British in fluence l'wayed the meafurcs of Congress, and that under thiy load of complicated guilt it was only ncceffary to erect the standard of oppofitiori to government, to secUre the accompliihment of their miflakcn wiihcs. Unfortunately for your peace, iiid our haqßinefSi you believed their aflertions, anJaMpecies of violence difgracefvl to the nalHfc and character of the United Sti tcs ensued : they told you too, that no army could be brought into aiftion against you by the government, and had the audacity to repeat their afiertion even after the troops had reached their points of rendez vous. Such was your delusion, that no counter declaration on the pai t of government ob tained any credit ; at length you begin to dilcern the truth, and know your real good —You fee a formidable fqrce suddenly col lected in obedience to the law of Congress eroding the mountains at a very inclement season of the year, determined to fubduf all who may dare torffift, and anxioui to prote<ft ail who submit to the constitution and laws. Hereafter yon cannot credit the tales of i the vicious and defigriing, your ex perience of their baseness and falftood is lb impressive and solemn as to leave not a doubt in your minds of the perils to which they have exposed their lives and fortunes. Derive wifdorn from experience confide not in the man who courts your refpeiS by defaming your government, and be as sincere in your active endeavors to restore order, as you are warm in your profeffions to do so ; then will my talk be easy, and your future felicity certain. Return to your country and allure your fellow-citizens that no man will receive in jury either in person or property from the arfny. Advise them to bring to our camp all the neceflaries of life they may have to spare, from which promise them from me a fair price in cafi. Tell them it is the pride as it is the duty of all my fellow-ci tizens in arms with me to mamtain,and not to violate the laws of our country, and teli them further that futri is the positive !n ---jun&ion of the Pr.fident of the United States : at the fame time Mention to all, my expectations that exactions in price will not be attempted by any, because jt would not only rfianiftft a want o.'finceiity in the profeffions of friendfhip which have been made on the part of the inhabitants, but would convey a desire to deprive the troops of those articles eflential not only to their comfort but to their health, to which de privation no confederation can induce me to submit them.

On the part of ail good citizens I confidently exptft the mofl active and faithful co-operation, which in my,judg ment cannot be more effectually girtn than by circulating in the most public manner the truth among the people, and by inducing the various clubs which have lo iuccefsfully poisoned the minds of the inhabitants, to continue their u sual meetings for,the pious purpose of • contradi&ing with their cullomary for malities, their pad pernicious doctrines.
