We announce, that the steeple to St.
Paul's Church is Gnifhed. The laJl
icaffolding was (truck on Saturday.
This truly beautiful fabric, though con
tlrufted whbfly of timber, exhibits, an
appearance of compaftnefs and solidity
equal to any done ftru&ure of the kind;
and while it displays the Hi! 11 of the ar
chitect, it evinces the good talte of the
gentlemen of the Veltry.
Three days ago, arrived here Capt.
Silliman spoke a thooner 18 days from
Barbadoes, bound from Virginia. The
captain informed him that a fleet of men
of war, and transports were arrived
there from England ; And that four
74 gun ships were come into the har
bour the night before he failed, and the

From a Correjpondcnt.
If our Jacobins pretend that fueh com
binations are to be dreaded only by defpo
tie governments,for instance such astheold
system of France they lhould be reminded
that the firft French Constitution was ex
tal'd by them to the ilars—yet the Jacobin
Clubs undermined and laid it in ruins : A
inerica is a byftander,let her take warning.
In a free country, if combinations of
men like the amusement of an ii.furreiftioii
why flior.ld they not be indulged—provid
ed they wiil pay the charge?
Our party men sometimes affe<sl the

It is an advantage, they fay. The ad
vantage of having a house divided against

Whereas this Society on the sth inft.
did resolve, That in their opinion, "the
afldrefs of citizen James Monroe, our
minilter to the National Convention of
France, is becoming the Representa
tive of a free and enlightened people,
and meets our watmeil approbation.
And whereas, at that time, the letter of
eredit from the President of the United
States to citizen Monroe, and the two
letters of address from the Secretary of
-State to the committee of public fafety
of the French Republic, were not made
public—lt is therefore resolved, as the
opinion of this Society, that the letter
of credit of the President of the Uni
ted States to our minister Plcnipotent:- ;
ary at Paris, conveys the lentiments of
every genuine republican and friend to
the rights of man ; especially when he
expreffcj" the wishes of the United
States for the happinefi of our Allies
and of drawing closer the bonds of our
amity"—Resolved, as the opinion of

to the Committee of Public fafety, da
ted 10th and 16th June lalt, declaring
the good wiflics of both Houses of Con
gress for the success and prosperity of
of the Repu lie ofF ranee, are eviden
ces of the sincere affection and regard of
the citizens of the United States for
their brave friends and allies who are
now contending for the fame Liberty
which they once afiifted us to obtain.

Governor Howell, with the Jersey

We Gncerely lament that a few design

their diabolical schemes men who have
I heretofore been elleemed good and peacea

circular letter to the different command

Braddock's Field, and who concerted and
I had executed the plan for robbing the

We hear that the part/ of men that
went in pursuit of David Bradford, came

not take him—he had a guard of i6men,
