"On doit être étonné que l'Amérique n'ait pas encore produit un bon Poète, un habile Mathématicien, un homme de génie, dans un seul art, ou une seule science."

Abbé Raynal.

PHILADELPHIA, July 9.

On Saturday evening last Colonel Marinus Willet, with Col. Alexander M'Gillivray and twenty eight chiefs of the Creek nation arrived in this city. They will shortly proceed to visit the Congress of the United States, in order to conclude treaties, which, we hope, will secure peace to our southern brethren.

These chiefs were received by our citizens with every mark of attention. The bells were rung; the artillery fired a federal salute, and with the light infantry companies escorted the chiefs to the Indian Queen, where lodgings were prepared for them; and a great number of people assembled to behold the largest body of Indians, that has appeared in this metropolis for many years.

Yesterday they attended divine service at Christ church.

Dr. Franklin says—for tho dead he yet speaks—it has been computed by some political arithmetician, that if every man and woman would work for four hours each day on something useful, that labor would produce sufficient to procure all the necessaries and comforts of life want and misery would be banished out of the world, and the rest of the 24 hours might be leisure and amusement.
