PHILADELPHIA, November 21.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Macpherson's battalion, dated "Camp, near Washington, Nov. 14th, 1794."

"By the time this reaches you, I hope to be upon the march homeward, as it is expected the business for which we came here will be completed in a day or two. You know before this time what hardships we have undergone, but I now assure you that were I certain we had yet twice as much, I should not repent of coming out.—The business has been more serious than I, or, I believe, any one else who was not in the plot, had an idea of. From papers which have been found in Bradford's house, it appears that it has been in agitation these three years, and was no less than to overthrow the whole government of the Union, and put themselves under the protection of Great Britain. Fortunately all the leaders are known, as among the papers was found a list of their names, and, I expect, all or the greater part of them will be secured, as all the horse were immediately sent in pursuit of them; and some parties have returned with several prisoners, and others are hourly expected. It is said that there were several hundred writs issued. As soon as the horse return, which will be in a day or two, we expect to begin our march home."
