This day, »t i o'clock, a Committee of Merchants
and Traders waited on the Prefulent of the United
States, and prefentcd h.m an Address oft the iVtyeit of
the Treaty—■-In which they explicitly declarc their ap
probation of the conduCl of the Senate, in their advice
and conl'ent to 4 conditional ratification —their confi
dence in the decisions wf the constituted authorities, &c.
—This Address was signed by upwards of four hundred
names, including the principal Merchants and Traders
of this city. A copy of this Add/eft and of the Presi

morrow.
A correspondent suggests the propriety of ap
pointing a committee by the citizens, to alcertain
nature of the contagious disease at present
prevailing in Naw York ; that if on enquiry it
should Se found to be the fame ai the pestilential
yellow fever wire.", occasioned luch ravages in Phi
ladelphia in 1793 (which from the fads contained
in the publication of the health committee of that
city appears to be the cafe) proper measures jsiay
be adopted to pr£vent i» introdu&ion among us.—
Our correspondent would not needlessly found an
alarm—but nothing has yet appeared in the pub
lications from New-York which have a tendency
to difiipale the apprefenfjons of the people.
Mr. Fenno,
I observe in your paper of yesterday, an Extract
of a letter from' Dr. Mitchill of New-York, to Dr.
Barton of thi3 city, containing the result ofa meet
ing of the Physicians there on the 15th inlt.—that
'extraff does* not mention the number of phyiicians
present at the meeting, who declared that no cafe
of the yellow fever exists within the circle of their
pra&ice—in this particular the letter is deficient—
I am informed that the New York, papers by the
two last polls, are entirely silent 011 the fuhjecl.

" near Brest," but on what dc.y is not mentioned, about
100 miles (36 hoars fail wiih a fair wind) from Bor

count back to noon of the 2-th—now. Belleifle 1. not
more than 100 miles from Breit waters, which d.fHnce
is small for Bridport's heavy fleet (or part of it " (even

■where they took the Dane, and, and after a fleet hove
in fight, immediately difmifled her—after which the
battle took place, as . elated by Decatur which reveng

Further, in corroboration, Capt. Decatur ays, eie

In consequence of an anonymous advertisement,
about ten or twelve petfons met at Chridi.ma-
Bridgc, nominated themselves, with a few others,
(in all fifteen) a Committee to take under their
consideration the Treaty of amity, commerce and
navigation, proposed between the United States
and his Bri.annic majeily.
A few members of the committee met the firfl
day of the present mouth ; but as a fufficient num
brr_ did not attend, the bullnefs was pollponed,
an.l the members present adjourned to meet on Sa
turday the eighth instant.
In the interim, some evil-disposed persons, not
willing to hazard the result of the committee's
meeting, and taking the advantage of a day, pro
posed a water melon fair day, when a variety of
(laves, and other loose characters, would aflcm.jle :
by this means the number was much encreafed, and
a variety "of negroes and others, many of them with
out the knowledge of their matters, did, in a dis
orderly manner, exhibit effigies representing, as
'twas said, John Jay, El'q. and the tao Senators
chosen from this (late, at the fame time animating
the mob with the idea, that the gentlemen they
were attempting to ridicule, were under British in-
i if
fliiencr.
Attempts were mad<* by some of the citizens of
this place, and others, of refpeftable char after, to
dilTuade them from so improper a measure, and with
fame of the best characters it had its effedt, for, to
the knowledge of some of the undernamed, they
went away diflatisfied with themselves, that they
liad by any means appeared in tke business.
The public will therefore be pleased to take no
tice, that we the undernamed citizens of'Chrif
tiana Bridge, and others who were prefrnt on
the occasion to declare the above mentioned impru
dent and disorderly conduct was committed con
tiary to the wish and with the mod decided
disapprobation of the principal inhabitants of this
place, and it vicinity, whom w£ flatter ourselves
will be ever ready to dil'countenance any proceed
ing that wijl have a tendency to promote difor

Extract of a letter from an officer in the Western ar-
" I hava ju(l tinje to inform you of my arrival at
this post the 3d inll. after encountering a fatiguing
tho' generally a pleasant trip of eleven hundred and
odd mile 9 down the Ohio, and up to the source of
the Wabafh river, which is within nine miles of this
place. I palled, and halted at a number of Indian
villages, and was treated friendly by all but one par
ty, who was rather insolent than otherwise, these
were some Kickapoos, but principally Potowati
mies, situated on the Banks of the a
river of considerable size, which empties itfele into
the Wabalh, about one mile fram the town. How
ever, by soothing language, and imprefiing upon
their minds the fatal eonfeqnsnces which mult await
their tribe, should they insult the flag I bore, I
was permitted to pass, after presenting to them a -
bout two gallons of whiskey—that liquor fodeftruc
tive to these wretches. My Journal I (hall forward
you, by the firlt fafe conveyance.
Thelndians are beginning to collect for the trea
ty, but in so tardy a manner, that it is problemati
cal. whether it will b« held in all this month, or, in"
fact, until the middle of the next. I rather think
the latter. Such delays I remember heating you
fry, was not uncommon, whrn the late Sir William
Johnson had the superintending of Indian affairs,
under the ISritifh government —the3sritifh are ufmg
every exertion to prevent the Indians meeting, but
will not, I think succeed. Every day frefh parties
tho' small ones arrive ; numbers are encamped a
round us, and several for miles are raising Corn, in
the vicinity of our pod. This condudt bespeaks
good intentions towards us, whether they bear them
in their breads or not—l cannot enlarge on this
fubjeft, as this letter is only intended to assure you
of my faccefs.

your land lubbers, and when money was gone went
to sea for more; and then
" S?e tile trew with fun-burn'd faces,

kuow tiiat at every Beer-House we went to, we
were sure to find some queer, fly," sensible fellow,
bellowing Congress, and the Cunftitu
tion, and Gee. IVajbtngton ; —n'c<, no, they were
afraid to go so far yet —they told us, that if it was
not f(*r Congress and the Conllitution, ant! nil that,
for they were afraid to name names, we might all
be as rich as lords, and keejxour coachcs ai:d drive
Susan about all the day long ; that Congress and
tile Conllitution, and all that, were mighty llicklers
fur peace, but that if a few people they could name
had the mmagemrnt of affairs, there would be lare
doings; they w<*uld go to war with England, a d
with Spain of course ; that we should all go a pri.
vateerfiig, and bring in Don Sangrada del Toledo's,
dollars by and thousands ; and the fel
lows who now llrut about, with their infurancl
stock,' and their bank stock, and their public debt
Itoclc, should all be tumbled into David Jones's
locker, stock and all ; aad that we should be the
great men of the land. All this was mighty firu to
be (ure, Daddy. They further told us, that we
might live like princes for just nothing at all ; that
provisions of every fort would be as cheap as dirt,
for the farmers would find 110 foreign market and
the dogs would be humbled down to our own price;
and as for toddy and hue cloathes, and all the good
liquors of other countries, we should have plenty
in our prizes, and the land-lubbers who [laid at
home might fuck their paws, and wrap up their
bodies in bear (kins. Now, just as this very thing
was comin,' to pass, pop comes a treaty upon us,
and the Gholls of War were about to be laid ten
fathoms deep in the Red Sea. Oh ! my dear fel
low, if you had but seen the wry faces our Beer-
House conjurers put on, it would have given you
the bunyio's ; they tried to keep up their own, by
addrelfcs arvd town-meetings, and fcribbJings find
blackguardings, and actually would have knocked
the Congress and the Conllitution, and all that, in
the head, if they had not been afiaid of the people ;
for 1 overheard one of these wife men faying to an-,
other wife man, " The Game is loft, the people
want jyirt us."
But the belt of all is to come yet : these very
men, these Beer-House conjurers, all veer'd about
in a jiffen—one did not think the people at large
had been Co firmly attached to the conllitution; an
other grew fearful that his comrades would leave
him in the liirch, and therefore determined to fhift
for himfelf; and the privy counsellors in the junto,
like able generals in a midnight retreat, who leave
their tents {landing and fires burning, prepared a
farrago of corabuftibles to be lighted up in fame of
the Jacobin papers from day to day, as if the whole
force was (till embodied, the fcoundrelsthem
felves are skulking about to make fair weather, and
leave us poor Jack Tars the buts of the finking
storm ; but if they ever catch us again in their
Beer Traps, we will give them leave to flay oft our
hides for AfTcs Skins, and ride about in triumph
upon our raw-heads and bloody-bones ; for be it
known that we will (land up in future for our coun
try, our Congress, our Conflitulion ; and huzza
for ever for the great and the glorious George
Wafliington—the man who can conquer his enemies
in war, and preserve his friends in peace.
Mr. Fenno,
The following note is extracted from a worTc lately
published on " the conduct of France towards Great-
Britain," tending to prove the former the agreflor in
the existing war between those Countries', by a Mr.
Miles, who was for fame time resident in Pa: is, and a
member of the Jacobin Club—lt is illustrative of the
hiltory »ud the principles of a man who was a consi
derable agent in the present revolution, and at that
time at the head of an executive department—your
readers will recoiled that the fame Le Rfurt after
wards fell a viiflim among a thousand others to the
fury ps Fadtion, and the reftlcfs ambition of his bro
ther-demagogue.!. A. B.
" I HAD relieved this man (Le Brun) in 1787,
who with his wife and children, were in great dis
tress. —The year following, he again solicited charity;
and on being refufed, endeavored to obtain it by
fraud. —In January, 179 c, he made another applica
tion to me for succour, personally, bf letter, and by
his wife. At the -firft of these periods, the States of
Brabant had iflued a warrant againtt him for having
fapported, in* journal that he publi.Tied, the despo
tism and wild projects of Joseph 11. At the second
epoch, ke fought flielter from the resentment of the
Emperor for having supported the States of Brabant ;
and at the third epoch, he fell again under the dis
pleasure of these latter, and his journal was proscribed
the Austrian Netherlands.
■ Th.si arrival of the Austrian troops towards the close
of that year, terminated the contest between them,
by compelling him to fly from Liege.—ln 1791, I saw
him in Paris, where he prop«fed to recommence his
journal, and solicited, through a third person, my pat
ronage and recommendation of it iri England, the
number of journals then publiOied in France giving him
1 no profpeft of success, he made an offer of his frryicei
to the Government at Bruxelles; and would hj ■; re
turned to Brabant and- fupp'orted the measures of Leo
; pold, if the terms hi: demanded had been acceded to, &
which were greater than they would have been, on ac
count of' Linguet's having quitted the Low Countries.
Without money and friends, his only refourcew3s to
intrigue and cabal in the Jacobins, into which he had
been admitted a member.—At this time Dumourier,
who both dreaded and detfftcd them, had occasion for
rheir support, to aid his views of ambition,—Le Brun
extolled his talents, and having contributed to puff
him into notice and power, was rewarded "by % fitua
.tion in the foreign department.—ln 17911 he became
Secretary of State so- fo r cign affairs, and threatened
to fuhveft the Englilh Government, who ". ..le. fm-t s
a ftw yenhs hefor ■he offered, to support for the pahtT-y
Confideratton of Cif'y pounds a year. — In Jam: y
179$ tinned the order for the execution of his so
vereign : and as he is at this moment a fugitive for
otKer crimes, it is not improbable hut, in 17 >4., jj'S
Wall hear of h>s having been han?ed in feme country,
where morals are yet refpeifted and laws enforced.
