November 4.
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
remains of Mr. Elliot, being otherwise
untouched by the Indians, were taken
to the nearest garrison, and decently
and honorably Hirer red—having laid
one night in the dreary wilderness—
Strange fatei that a man whose hospi

of society, a man of the ftri&eft virtue

and of benevolence universal—whose
fate will lorw be deplored by all those

PITSBUItCH, Nov. 8.
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.
Meflri. Findley, Redick, Douglas,
and Morton inform the inhabitant! of
the counties of Weitmoreland, Walt,
ington, Fayette and Allegheny, that in
confluence of their appointment to wait
on the President of the United States,
they proceeded on that duty—but on
their way to Bedford, where it was ex
pected the President might probably be
seen, learnt that he had left the army
for the feat of government—they,
therefore, on conGderatiojj, took the
right wing of the army commanded by
the Governor of the state of PeDnfylva
ma, in their way, where they conversed
with the Governor, as well as with the
Secretary of the T.eafury, on the sub
ject of their million, and proceeded to
the other wing to Governor Lee, of
Virginia, (the Commander in Chief)

Gentlemen,
THE resolutions entered into a « lhe

L.. t , uui,<. nil no, II IS out ot liiy province
to determine.
Yourselves, in the convention l a 4
evening, imputed it to the univcrlal pa
mc which the approach of the army of
the United States had exited in t h e
lower order of the people.
•If -this be the real ground of the lat
change (and my refpeft for your o pi.
mons will not permit me to doubt it)
the moment the cause is reraovce, ihj
reign of violence and anarchy v -iH , e ".
turn. Whatever, therefore, may be the
sentiments of the people refpe&i„„ >| lc
present competency of tbe oivi] au,l„ .
rity. to enforce the laws, 1 f«l tnvfelf
pbligated by the trull reposed in me h v
the President of the United States, to
hold the army in this country, until dai
ly practice (hall convince all that the
sovereignty of the constitution and laws
is unalterably established.
In executing this resolution, f not
only eonfult the dignity and interest of
the United States, which will always
command my decided refpetft and pre
ferential attention, but 1 also promote
the good of this particulai diftrifi.
I Hi all therefore, as soon as thetioops
arc refrefhed, proceed to some cer,tr:l
and convenient station, where I (hall
patiently Wait until the competency of
the civil authority is experimentally
and unequivocally proved. No indivi
dual can be more solicitous than I am
for this happy event, and you may af
lure the good people wh'om you repre
sent, that every aid will be cheerfully
contributed by me to hasten the de
lightful epoch.
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.
A conduit so candid would partially a
tone for the injuries which in a great
degree may be attributed to their in
(lrumeutality, and must have a propiti
ous influence in administering a radical
cure tio theexifting disorders.
On my part, and on the part of the
patriotic army I have the honor to com
mand, allure your fellow-citizens that
we come to protcdt and not to <jeftroy,
, and that our refpefl for our common go
vernment, and respect to our owi) ho
nor, are ample pledges of propriety An
our demeanor.
Quiet, therefore, the apprehenfims
of all on this score, and recommend uni
versally to the people to prepare for the
use of the aimy whatever they can spare
from their faims neceflary to its fubiift
enc#, for which they (hall be paid in
cadi at the present market price. Dis
courage exaction of every fort, not only
because it would teftify a difpofitioa ve
ry unfriendly, but because it would pro
bably produce very disagreeable scenes.
It is my duty to take care that the
troops be comfortably subsisted, and I
cannot but obey it with the higbelt
pleasure, because I intimately know their
worth and excellence.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
With due confidrration,
