Extradl of a letter from a gentleman in Knoxville,
dated Augtslt 14.
" There has a genera! -c:d (apparently) sincere
peace just taken place between the Creeks »nd she
United States ; the former having declared, after
having 5000 warriors well aimed, and oth'erwife
equipped for war, and upon the point of.marching
agfinlt the Chickafaws and the Cumberland peo
ple, that they will dclilt from any further hostili
ties, and are willing to take them by the hand as
brothers."
Lail week George Carroll, eonvicfU'd of Petit

by the judges of the diflrict coutt to receive 30
lifhes for said offence, which were immediately af

the ehief of the Cnicfcafaws, which letter appeals
at full length in the Knoxville Gazette of the 28th
ult. it-is manifeft, that the Spaniards hare erected
a fort at the Chickafaw Bluff, within the territory
of the United States. Governor Gayofo wishes to
have undei flood, that this garrison is eilablilhed by
permi'flion of the Chickafavvs, but the contrary is
the fa<3, and it is evident that.th? Spaniards are in

Ti'eaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation,
l:itely passed upon by the Senate—being desirous
of evidencing our haarty concurrence the al
most unanimous feile of our fellow-citizens, who
deem many parts of it inimical to the conflitution,
and moll of it diladvantageoiis to the interefls, and
derogatory to the honour and dignity of the United
States—most refpeclfully (for reafor.s we forbear to
state, as it would only be reiterating what you have
been generally addressed with) intimate—That it

the Treaty obtained a complete victory over the
Aatis, and the meeting adjourned fine die, without
ente«iiig into any Jacobinical resolves—relying on
the wisdom and prudence of the conllituted autho
rities, for a proper discharge «f the duties aifigned
them.—Mr. Badger, it is said, did himfelf great
credit on the oecalion, by maintaining his opinion
in support of the Treaty with a manly spirit and
iirmnefs.
CHARLESTON, September 3
By a gentleman who left St. Mary's on Sunday
last, we are informed, that Gen. Clarke had arriv
ed at Temple, about 26 mile 3 from St. Mary's,
with 250 men ; that there were previously at Tem
ple about 60 men under arms, and it was said that
the whole number expedted to join in the expedi
tion against Florida, would amount to about 150 0
men.
A few days prior to his failing, the PoinuPetre
Spaniih prize- came up to town*, and -the captain
lent a sharp letter to the governor at St.-Mary's,
demanding 1 to Jje infoimei!, whether the United
States iutended declaring wai agaicft Spain. ,
Philadelphia,
TUESD AY EVENING, SEPTEMBER *1, 170.5
The Governor of this Commonwealth i:as »;nn-J a
second Proclamation continuing the prohibition of in
tercourse, by land or water, between New-York and
Norfolk, ref'pcctively, and this rity—to continue one
month from the aift September, unlcfsfooner revoked.
Advices have been received here, that Rigaud,'being
at Leogane, and his followers reduced to about 60 men,
it was more than probable he would fuVrender to the
Britilh Commander in Chief the whole quarter over
which he commands. It appears, that upon intelligence
having been received at Port-an Prince that the Spa
mfh troops had been driven from Grand Bois and Mire
balais, by the Brigands, Gen. Montalembert marched
with a choice party of troops from Port-au-Priuce, and
drove the Brigands from Graad Bois, where he eftab
lilhed a garrifen. He then had marched towards Mire
balais, with a delign to drive out the Brigands, of
which there was great expedition of success.
The ab-»ve appears to be confirmed by accounts pub
li/hed in the Courier Francois of the 18th iuft. which
Hate, thai Rigaud had returned, by* flag of truce, the
chariot and horfrs of Gea. VVilliamfon, which had
been captured, also fame pipes of Madeira—and from
thel'e cirt'imftances, and that of the Commandant of
Leogane's shooting himfelf, after an ineffeflnal attempt
to disarm the battalion of ■ Kruvence, they conclude
that Rigaud means 10 deliver up Leogane.

ExtraiS of a letter from New-Jersey, Sept. 15.
" I fee you have a great deal of treaty-fcnibbling—
but what kind of Democrats have we in the United
States that will not submit to the majority. The peo
ple of this part »f thecountry did aot like the complex
ion of the treaty, principally becaule it was with Great
Britain—but when ihey i'iw it was advised by the Se
nate to ratify it, like trup republicans they i'ubmitted
to the majority of their legislators, and ai e fatisSed all
is right. You have seen none of their names to remon
strances or resolutions ; and had the Jacobins proceed
ed a little further, and the Prcfident had called for aid
every man in this quarter would have taken his gun in
support of the Coiillitntion and Government, to quell
any faction whatever: And indeed some began, to bright
en their old barrels, aud (happen their flints for the pur
pose. We join no political tornadoes, but when we
speak it will be by order of Government, and that in
vollies that will tell."

10R THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITFD STATES,
Mr. Fen.no,
ROLLIN's Ancient History is a work of
fach extraordinary merit, that it cannot be too
strongly recommended to the perusal of the citizens
of the United States. And as it has now been
advertised for publication by subscription, you are
requeued to give the following character a place in
your ufeful paper. It was written by the judicious
and elegant Mr. Bennei, author of " Letters to a
Young Lady on uferul and interesting fubjefts."
" Rollin's Ancie»t History is a tre»fnre to
young people. This man was one of the mod ex
cellent preceptors that the wot Id ever saw. It was
his ambition to unite the scholar and the chriftian.
He labours to promote religious improvement, by
every incident he relates. He holds forth Provi
dence, as continually superintending the govern
ment of the universe, and its finger as diredling
all the mo-cements of the fyftena ; and, wheu he
has related a number of surprising viciflitudes and
events, he takes his pupil up " to an high moun
tain, from whence he shews him all the kingdoms
of the world, and all the glories of them," to be
continually under the controul and direction of
Heaven, and not collefiively to poflefs half the luf
tve of the excellence of one pious disposition.
" Under the pen ef this mod christian writer,
every laser metal is purified from its allay. Every
founding action is tfivetted of its bomhajl, and traced
to its real source. Splendor has no dignity, if un
al'fociated with . virtue. Ambition is painted as a
fury that destroys. Heroism is represented as mur
der in disguise. The laurels of an Alexander are
wrefled from his brow. Cffifar is ft ripped of hit
fidtitieus plumage. They are both defcribtd as
rultufes, preying on their species, who were born
to be only the scourgeS of humanity, and a terror
to the world. ■
" This man deserves universal veneration. His
pupils should have raised a monnment to his memo
ry', and posterity have rendered that monument
immortal. Learning and religion (hould be grouped
over his tomb, mingling their united tears for the
loss of his virtues.
" If you have not leisure to peruse his writings',
yet be careful to read all other hillory, with this
view, and it will lead you to. God. It will teach
you n« longer to be dazzled with grandeur, because
grandeur fades away. It will shew you, that vices
have demolished the mightiest empires, and swept
the fineft cities " with the besom of deftruftion."
It will convince you, that every thing on earth is
a shadow, and that neither men nor nations " con
tinue in one l\ay," It will aflure you, th.it " tho'
t'ouds and darkness may be ahout the throne of
God, v t and judgment are tiie habi
tation of hi) Cert," [t will inftru<£t you, that every
aftioi ii' " weighed in it; balance that, howe
ver, feemmgly, d'nregarded for a time, vice and vir
tue will have their jufl proportion of punilhirent or
reward, and that nothing but religion will be able
to triumph, amidll thecrufti of elements,
and the woild."

BOTANY BAY.'
The following is an extract of a letter from an
officer in the Botany Bay corps, who failed in the
fame ship with MefTrs. Palmer, Muir, Skirving, and
Margarot, dated Port Jackon, Dec. 14, '94 :
" We arrived fafe here on the 29th of O&ober,
after a paflage of fix months. I immediately wait
ed on the Lien. Governor Major Grofe, and de
livered my credentials. Mrs. and I were
invited to dine with him and Mrs. Grofe ; and tl «
utmost attention and friendfhip has been (hewn ever
fmccwe arrived. The major is very attentive to
hu officers and men, and does every thing in his
power to make us all comfortable and happy, as
well as the other people in the settlement. He has
been of infinite service to it, by encouraging agri
culture and industry.
We arrived at Janeiro on the 4th of July, where
we itaid a month. I dare fay you have heard of
the disagreeable affair on board the Surprize.—
Meffis. Palmer and Skirving were accused of a plot
to carry the (hip to France, and were put in close
confinement. Since our arrival here, Major Grofe
has relcafed them, as from what has yet appeared
they had no hand in the plot.
" Majo' Grofe fails to-morrow for England.—
He is much regretted by all the. people, and mofl
particularly by his officers.

present of a country house and garden, with twe
acres of land. He has putchafed a farm of 150 a

very good, and all get into barn in good order.—
You will, no doubt, be surprized to hear that there

There is a great number of settlers between this and

passage, considering the treatment we and the other
pafiengers met with, which was very fhameful. We
had little or nothing all the voyage but fait beef
and pork, and a Savage to fit at the head of the
table. As soon as he saw us happy, he wag sure
to put some plan in execution to make ns unhappy
with one another. 1 hope he will fuffer for it, as

voyage."

" If you did not know me to be incapable of
adulation to any man, my principle would be sus
picious, if I were to exprcfs to yon, Sir, the genu

are more than I can express, list, only for your at

much more so for your letter of credit to ... .

them it it, at leart, that 1 am indebted for the oon

Can you believe it poflible, that a man, hitherto of

of an unworthy thought, fhonld be accused now
of exciting mutiny on board the Surprise, and the

the pallures in England. As far as 1 can fbnn an
