LITERARY NOTICE.
! We are pleased to learn that an elegant
[ and ample edition of the wcrks ef the late
1 Judge Wilson, is to be published by the
enterprizing Mr. Dickins, from the very
elegant press ofMr Maxwell. The collation
of the manuscripts, is to be the care of Bird
Wilson Esq. Hence, from natural solici
tude for the literary reputation of a rela
tion and from the legal information, and j
accuracy of the Editor, the Public may
rightfully expeft a faithful and well di<je(ted
specimen of the jurifprudential /kill, and
political science of a learned Judije. The
following extradt from the Profpdtus, will
fully describe the plan of the work.
THE Volumes now offered to the Pub
lic will contain the Ledtures 011 Law de
livered by the Author in the College of
Philadelphia, and some detached pieces upon
legal fubjrfts. Of the plan of the Ledtures
the Public have been long in poffeflion.
rim plan was never completely executed ;
but the molt valuable of it was finilhed
and delivered by the Author in the form in
which it wilf now be published. Tnis part
treat! of the general nature of law—of the
law of nature and of nations—of municipal
law, and some other general fubjedts cou
nedted with these—os the causes, origin,
progress, hiftoiy, kinds, pans, -and proper
ties of government—of the principles, na
ture, and hiflory of the Common Law, and
its transfer from Europe to America y and
of the municipal law of the U. States and of
Pennsylvania relating to persons ; Under
this division a full view is taken (among
other fubjedts) of the conflitutions of the ge
ral and Hate goverments ; of the trial by
jury ; of the nature and philosophy of evi
dence ; and of the criminal law of the Uni-
States and of Pennsylvania—The remaining
part of the plan, in which it was proposed
to treat of the municipal law refpedVing
property, and of the history of a suit at law,
from its commencement to its termination,
was not executed. The part however, which
has been executed and which is now offered
to the Public, is highly deserving of their
attention, from the importance of its fub
jedts—fubjedts in their nature interefling,
not only to profellional men, but to every
citizen of the United States.
I he detached pieces proposed to be added
art—An efiay on the hiflory and advantages
of property ; Confidrr.uians on the legisla
tive authority of the British Parliament
over the American Coloniet, publithed at
the beginning of the revolution ; Andcon
(iderations upon the' Bank of North-Ameri
ca, publilhrd in 1785, in which some im
portant feints c.f constitutional law are
brought into view.

America.
Gentlemen; To You will our Brethren
of the unfortunate Siller States, now exposed
to a mereilejs enemy, look for help in the
hour of ericreafing danger. On you, will
our Common, Political Father, rely for the
salvation of your Country, and he will not
look in vain.—lf those uniforms which wea

'94 and Fries in '9B, are impared by service,

the only lawful heirs to this foil and to
their glory, will make those foreign emilTa

South, shrink like the mifi of the morning
Info re the glorious rising Sun.
Extract of a letter from Washington.
" The rising of the negroes is tiow proved
to have been occalio.ied by the circulation
of some artfully written hand bills, drawn
up by the noted Callender in prison, and
circulated by two French people of colour,
originally from Guadaloupe, aided by an
United Irish pretende 1 Methodist Preacher.
Callender declares himlelf innocent sf any
intention to \go further, than merely to
favor Mr. J?fferfon'?elr&ion, but he is rtill
fufpedted of a further o'j'jedL

We underflund a compromise is attempt*
ed to be efFefted, through a state Secretary,
betwene the fofir Jacobin candidates for a
lucrative office, with a prnmife on the part
of the one conceded to that should

OUR ENVOYS.
A letter from a gentleman at Paris, dated
July 17, received in Boston, observes, that
the Envoys are very secret as cq the progress
of the Negociation they are conducting :
That whatever reports may be cttrrent rela
tive to the business tliey can have 110 better
basis than eonjedture ; that he should write
again by Mr. Tudor, who was t» taka pas
sage with the Envoys in the Portsmouth
(loop of war.
From the Ntrj-Tork Gtzette.
0» looking over the London papers by the
ship Hazard, we find, in one of the Rth ult.
this article :—" By letters from Paris, we
find the American Ministers make 110 pro
gress in their explanations, and the two
republics are not likely to be better reconci
led. The objedt'of this fufpence and delay
is obvious. Francej by a doubtful condudt,
will animate her partisans in America, and
intimidate her opponents ; and in this course
flie will the more probably continue to fleer,
with a view of effedting a change of the Pre
sident, the eledtion as whom comes on in a
few months."
Befide l ! this, Mr. Campbell, whq came
paflenger in the Hazard, and who left Paris
the firft of August informs, that our'envoys
were on the eve of leaving that place, when
they received a request from Conlul Buon
aparte to tarry a little longer.
It does not appear from this, that our
Commissioners were coming away fatisfied
with the progress they had made in the bu
siness of negociation. The London Editoi's
eonjadtures on this iubjedt may therefore be
right.

The following twe Extraßs are taken from
the Lane after Journal, a valueable paper
publiftled by Mr. Wm. Hamilton, at the
Seat of Government of this State.
Governor M'Kean in his reply to th« an
swer of the Senate observes that" the pros
titution of official influence te party purpos
es, may afford a proper cause of removal
from office. If the Governor hat one spark
of regard for his word, his honor and dignity,
he will nat hesitate a moment to discharge
from office Tench Coxe, William Barton,
Timothy Matlack, Frederick Muhlenberg
& John Light. For it is a well known fait
that those men were ftarcely known in the
country of Lancaster before they were ap
pointed to offices by Governor M'Kean.
All that is to be expe&ed then from their
exertions is comprised in the charaflers they
derive from official inftuenee.
Let the people of Pennsylvania read the
following extract from the proceedings of
the Democratic Meeting on Friday last,
and if they do not blush for the honor and
refpeftability of the State and feel for its
fafety, they mull be callous to eveiy'fine
feeling of the human bread. Here is the
/extraft.
" Resolved that Meffre. Tench Coxe, Tim

" Pennfjlvania-
Francis Bailey, Chairman.
John Light, Secretary."
Six of these men hold lucrative offices
under the Governor of Pennsylvania. The
seventh, Francis Bailey, is the Governor's
printer. I will not insult the feelings of the
reader by attempting any comment.
Who has been tbe cause of borrowing
money at 8 per cent ? Thof« who were for
" flopping the tvheels of government" those
who prevented the afleflment of the House
and Land tax, which fhotild have been col
le&ed long ago, and if it had been cclleft
ed there would have been no occasion for
borrowing money a 8 per cent. Pray is it
tbe Federalists or the French party that cre
ate infurreftions and taxes ? Surely it is the
latter. /
Who is he that has thought proper to
arraign those who opposed his el.&ion with
the epitaphs of " traitors, tories, refugees,
French atiftocrats, British friends, and apos

A TRUE AMERICAN.
From the Aurora of Friday last.
It appears that John Fries, the perfecu*
ted viftim of a daring faftion, has been
received in the bosom of his native country
with a kindoefs and attention that reflefta
honor on the virtue and fcnfibility of the
peoplfe of Pennfvlvania. Every attention
which could be bellowed on him and his fa
miiy, they have experienced from their fel
low citizens, both during his cruel impri
sonment and while he was tortured by the
menaces of a barbarous death. The Prefi
derit of the Uui ed States giving way to*
the solemn admonitions of conscience, a
larmed at the stretches of the faftion which,
were seeking to involve him in disgrace and
the nation in cival war, or despotism, would
not consent to countenance his murder tho*
the blood of the viftim was held up as the
criterion of future support from a faftion ;
the perversion of the law and the a'oufe o£
the judicial authority, by a Judge fit to
rank in hiftery with Jeffries, were not to
Mr. Adams fufficient c uses to realize the
death of a fellow citizen ; his own know
ledge as a lawyer, revolted against a sen
tence so barbarous, and against which, eve
ry aftive mind in the community cried oue
with indignation, the advice of men differing
from each other in politics,butofacknowledgi-d
legal ability and intregrity was called into
bis aid, and by their opinion, which prov
ed that the daring conftruftions of the judg«
es on the laws of treason were unfounded g
that the justice of the country, and the life
of an individual not legally fubjefted to the
punilhment of death were involved, the|Pra»>
fident obeyed the impulse of truth and vir
tue, and saved an innocent man to his coun
try and his family. Fries was liberated, and
the voice of his country give an unqualified
plaudit for the aft of genuine justice.
What followed, hid fellow citizens eager
to make up for his fufFerings, elefted himr
to the command of a militia regiment ; and
in obedience to law, the Governor has issu
ed a commission ; this is set up as one of
those charges which debauched and infamouj
men, heap upon each other', to injure i £
they could, the reputation of Governor
M'Kean.
But what is the trne ground upon which
these tranfa&ionc (hould be placed ? Do we
not know that the preTticeof infijrretftio«r„
was one of those bold flrokes which Samuel
Lyman describes ; do we uot know upon
the authority of the members of the legisla
ture who went thither, that no such thing
as an infurre&ion or a treasonable refiftancs
existed ; has not the voice of those counties,
ihewn the discovery made of the arts, prac
tised by Ham'iton and his adherents Picker
ing and Pinclney, to drag us int6 such m af
ures as would render a (landing army neces
sary, and promote the establishment of what
they call aJI ong government. This is the
true light in which that infamous business
(hauld be viewed. We fhruld consider it
as a measure which was the stratagem of a
faftion, and the cause of a vail expenditure
calculated to enrich a few creatures of pow
er ; the eledtion of Fries mull be offenfive,
for the fame cause which whetted animosi
ty againil him, dill exift3; he was an adlive
officer in our revolution, and he dqw com
mands a regiment of hardy and brave re
publican Germans.
[To comment eopioufly on the above
would be useless. We shall just (late fadts,
known to all. A itbellion against the laws
of the United States broke out in the Ipring
of 1799, in the counties of Montgomery,
Burks, and Northampton.—John Fries was
the leader ; he, with an armed force, threat
ened an officer of the United States, rescued
certain prisoners from that officer, and pre
vented him from'executing his duty; openly
biddng defiance to eur government. Th 4
the President iflued a proclamation, inviting
them to return to their duty as citizens, and
slated the confrqutnces of difobedience,they
treated his of conciliation with con
tempt j he was then compelled to order out'
the troops 111 the pay of the U. States, and
some militia volunteer companies, to avenge
the insulted laws. The troops turned out
with alacrity, inarched to the scene of infufi
re&ion, and arretted a number of the rebels,
among the reft John Fries, —He was
twice tried by the laws of his country, and
twice convidted by an hoiieft and upright
jury of 12 men ; he was sentenced to die,
the punllhment due his crime. The Presi
dent in' mercy pardoned him, anticipating a
good effedl, and he returned to his home,
where no sooner did he arrive, than those
very persons who had been convidted, some
of treason, others of mifdemean<r,eledted him
their military chief, and to complete the bu
siness, their choice has been lanftioned by
Thomas M'Kean, Governor of Pennfylva
ni», who has commissioned him Colonel of a
Regiment of Militia; thus forming a3 it
were a banditti in the heart of our c'onntry ;
and at the very moment wh;-n an infurrec.
tion has commented in Virginia and Caroli
na. Thus that part of the Community, who
marched to suppress a rebellion, and those
