A gentleman who has visited Alia, fug to his fdlow-citizcns who are extract ing sugar from the Maple Tree, that it maybe more advantageous to make the incision higher than they do at j.efent, for the Asiatics always cut the Palmira Tree just below the firit branches, and of the liquor they make both sugar & an intoxi cating drink. If the iaccharine juice is formed by the combination of the parti cular property of the Maple Tree, with water whicti rises from the earth, it is na tural to suppose that the present method of collecting the sap jult above ground before it has undergone much commixture will be attended with its prelent result viz. a great quantity of water and very little firrup. If upon experiment it fhail be found that more sugar is made from a less quan tity of sap when the incision is mad*" high up, one great advantage will be that left, labor will be required ti colic# the sap and 16 evaporate the water.

EXTRACT. A wonderful Jlory in a •wonderful letter, said to be front Liverpool to a person in Philadelphia. " A wonderful story was made of an at tempt to take away the life of George the Illd by the Grace of God, &c. at the thea tre, the other evening. A boy, who when at home amuses himfelf sometimes with his companions in blowing darts, was seen in the pit/ Some unlucky perfous happen ed inform ministers of it, &it was immedi ately declaredthatthe body of his royal ma jesty was undoubtedly intended to be ta ken away by a poiloned dart! The boy, and his companion were taken up, and Billy Pitt & Co. have employed them selves a whole week in developing and in vestigating this affair. The boys have been brought up, and examined .very day, and remanded back to prison. The utmost se crecy and importance are attached to the buflnefs by ministers, 2nd this is quite enough to ihake people helieve it, which is all that is wanted. But those Who think for them!elves fee thro' the scheme which is nothing more than an attempt to engage our attention, while the necefTary supplies, &c are grant ed by Parliament. There is also another mattei 1 going to be put into execution to aid the above : i. e. the trials of our state prisoners who have been confined in the Tower, and other prisons, for several months on charges of high treason. These are brought forward too just at the meeting of Parliament. If Mr. Burke was thinking of this country, when he said that " go vernment is a contrivance of human wis dom," he said very true. It is so, and the farce is played off for the benefit of the Go vernors, and of those " whom it de lighteth them to honor. " We have lately had from you a small pamphlet, entitled, Remarks on the Emigration of Dr. Priestley. I think it the moll scandalous publication tliat ever ifltied from any press. There has been so much beating up for wit nesses againftthe prisoners in the tower, and there appears so much desire on the part of ministers tofind them guilty that it will be miraculous if they come off. Henry Yorke it to be tried at York." Far the Gazette' of the United Statu. .... %''' ) Ms.. Fenho, ON looking over the public pap e rs> containing the debates in the House of Repiefentatives in Congress, refpe&ing the opposition cluls, or what are called Democratic Societies, I have been led to take a retrofpedl of our politics for fume time back. The a&ive campaign of the anti-federalifts, wherein it was attempted to force the strong lines of the government, may justly be said to have opened in the month of May, 1793, immediately after the landing of Genet in Charlerton, and to have closed with the rendezvous of the militia army at the foot of the Allegheny mountain in Otfcober last. A fruitlefs insurrec tion (fruitlefs in other refpe&s only as it may serve to convince men of their errors, and the world that the great bo dy of the people of this country will maintain a good republican form of go vernment) in four of the western coun ties of Pennsylvania, is all that has been produced by the unexampled zeal and niduftry of the whole party for a course of years; with all their town-meetings, publications in the shape of hand-bills, circular letters, newspapers, pamphlets, and fpeecl:s in C ( Mecn indeed rr.'ift be the opinion en tertained by David Bradford and his af lociates, of certain chara&ers who them encouragement 'to go on aud do as they did, and who have not now the spirit to lisp a single fentenee in direst terms in his or their own favour. On the contrary, the common language is, that the President and people of the ar my have deserved well of their country. These met) deceived themselves and were deceived by others. They were miltaken in regard to their own power and in fluence, the number of their friends, and the part that would be a&ed by in dividuals. The honest zeal discovered by Ibmc of our Representatives in f derand good govern .• v ipro- fit ion to the viewi ■; . reft and govern the focltiiui wjs highly commendable.- It oug.it to be adopted as a JirJl principle by every friend to his count)y, that like mutiuy in an army," /edition Ihould be opposed and discoun tenanced wherever, or in whatsoever lhape it may appear; and it is to be .a mented that the friends of government in the western counties did not, at an early period, unite and make a (land in support of the laws. By this means they might have awed the difaffe&ed into fubmiflion, preserved the Ameri can character, and prerented the im mense trouble and expence incurred by marching an army. Viewing the fubjeft in this light, It is to be feared that some blame may be laid to the charge of their magistrates •and influential citizens, for there can he little doubt that even in these counties there is public virtue enough to be fouud among the people, it there were fit in struments always willing to draw it in to exercise. Every man owes some kind of duty to society, and to fay no thing of the binding nature of oaths to " support and maintain constitutions and laws, &c. &c." in ought to be re membered, that in the catalogue of damning fins, those of omission are not considered as the least in magnitude. Certain it is that if half the pains were made use of by one part of the community to explain the laws and en force obedience to tliem, that there is taken by another to excite clamours and prejudices against the government, wf would have no infurre&ions. 1 am sorry to find that there is still so much time unneccfiarjly wafted in Congress. From what is said on some questions, a person unacquainted with the people of this country might be led to believe that the principles of icpubli canifm and free government were only to be found in some of the southern states, and that an entire change had taken place in those of the eastern. 1 have charity to believe that some of the south ern gentlemen really wi(h to be good republicans, and may pofiibly think themselves so ; but it will require time for many of them to get faitly into the pra&ice of it. The habits acquired by their educa tion and mariner of living are against them. Things that approach in any degree towards diftinftions in rank, and the privileged orders of a Kingly go vernment, are injurious to the political morals of a republic ; and the world will never admit that those who hold, or consent to holding their fellow crea tures in degraded Jlavery, have just ideas of liberty and equality. Like some of our newly imported Ja cobins, these men take uncommon pains in their bwn way to make us believe in the sincerity of their attachments to democratic and republican principles, as if there was a confcioufhefs of canfe for suspicion ; while those who have been uniform in the practice of the true faith, and support of the present government, deal with ease and confidence on an es tablished credit. I have been lately told, that general ly speaking, the people in the southern states are now right in their politics; and if Io they might pofiibly consider the present remarks as a (lander. In anfwei 1 can only fay, that I judge from a sample. An American Observe*. Dancing School. Wm.

The Hcjufe took up for a third rea ding the bill making appropi iationVilr payment of 'Uie militia on the late ex pedition a,raiuft. the Inkngents—atier fame debate the bll was patted, arid leot to the Senate. The liieiilt ad journed at 12 o'clock this day. - Th« committee to whom was referred that part of the Preiidem's Speech. Which relates to the policy of indem nifying the iuffereis by the depre dations of the •inftirgents i.i »he, we It em counties of Petuiiylvania, TtepoiTltle following refohttTOTis, viz. •RESOLVED, That the Pielidetit of th« United States be icqr.eited to cause an afceitainment to be iivade of the loil'es fuHaiwcd by the otHcers of go vernment, and other citizens, in .'their property (in ■consequence of their ex ertions in support of th< laws} by the inlurgents in the wefiern counties «jf Penafylvania. Resolved, That the President be au thored to draw out of the Tteaftr.y of the United States, the film of . A dollais, to be applied by him to aid the said fnfferers in repairing their lclTcs. The above resolutions have given rife to debate in the House—various opini ons on the best mode of indemnii) the fufferen appear to be enteitained by the speakers. It was said that the injured parties ought to fcek reparation in the courts of. law in the firit instance—and if indem nification could not be obtained from the aggrtflbrs, then government ihouid afford its aid ; but a/i immediate in demnification will operate to fereeil the guilty> and transfer their puuifhment io far as refpefts property to the innocci.t and the community at large ; for it is absurd to iuppofe a man would appeXr. i in a court of juitiee to prosecute for that i which he had already received. An ! objection was alio drawn from another quarter, that if pertons who lose pro perty in civil commotions, find no d:i ---1 hculty in obtaining indemnification; it j will render people caielefs and indiffer ent in defending their property. It ! might influence abandoned persons to : contrive local infurreftions for the very ! purpose of fleecing the public. 1 hels objedlions were replied to, by urging the juflice of the claim of the fufferers, | and the extreme danger which will at ife, should those who distinguish themielves as supporters of the laws, be expol.-d to lofTes in proportion to their patiio:;fm and signal exertions t
