The PRESIDENT had not received the official ac count of the Treaty with France, as appears from what he fays on the ftibjea of the negotiation. The difpute between the Hbufe of Reprefenta tives and Senate, in the Provincial Legiflature of Pennfylvania, Hill continued fo late as the 18th ; and it feems probable that this State will have no vote in the choice of Prefident and Vice-Prefident. The Hamburgh Mail due yefterday arrived this I morning. The accounts from Germany confirm the accounts In the salt French papers, of the French having forced the Anftrians to abandon th po fition on the river Inn. Refpeaing other particu lars, they do not come down fo late as the French accounts. It is confitpted that the Archduke CHARLIE is again to take the Coinmand of the Auftrian forces. It is alerted at Vienna, that our Minifier Lord MI NTO has, by orders from the Court of StJames's; releafed the Court of Vienna from all its engage. menu, if it fhould be found neceffary to conclude a feparate peace. If the fituation of the affairs of our Ally at the time thefe inftrualons were tent off, was fuch as to render this advifable, the events that have fine taken place Teem to Make it indifpenfible. FROM THE VIENNA COURT GAZETTE, DEC. x 7. " His Royal Highnefs the Archduke CHARLES, being recovered from his indifpofition, which tome time ago obliged him to quit the army, his Im perial Majetty has been pleafed again to confer on his Royal Highnefs the command of the army in Germany. His Royal Highnefs quitted Prague on the 14th inft. to take upon himfelf that com mand ; but is refolved, at the fame time, to re tain the chief command of the Bohemo-Moravian Legion, and has previoufly appointed General Count Szvaa RAT to the command of that Legion.' His Royal Highnefs the Archduke Jou* has fent reports, dated the 9th, loth, 11th, and 12th ;giant, from 'the head-quarters at Frofburgh, Theifendorf, and Salzburgh : according to which the line of the corps of Prince CONDE was attacked by the enemy on the 9th, in the neighbourhood of Neubayern, who overpowered the poft of Nen bayern, and thus advanced to the right banks of the Inn.—Agreeably to the fiatements Pent in at the fame time, by his Royal Highnefs, the lofs of his army, fence the renewal of hoftilities, amounts to 918 men in killed ; and 3514 in woun ded ; the number of prifoners and miffing, had at tuft been Rated at 5396 men ; but, as of the latter many have fine joined their corps again, the era& number of &Women cannot• as yet be Rated with certainty. a From Italy, the General of Cavalry, Count BILLIGARDI, reports, under the 6th and 9th inft. that on the 4th the enemy had advanced by four different roads againft the volition at Bondeno, occupied by General Schuftck, whom they at tacked with much vigour; but Lieut.-Colonel Munkatzy, Rationed there with fome troops for the fupport of the former, employed them fo skil fully, that the enemy was repulfed ; on which oc cafion a Chief of Battalion, 7 Officers, and to non.commiffioned officers and privates, were made prifoners; and two veffels, onboard of which the enemy had attempted to crofs the Panaro with a divifion of troops, were taken. Of the other hof tile troops that had advanced for attacking that pofition, too were partly killed, partly wounded, on their fight. Our own loft was inconfiderable. On the 6th, the Paid General Schußck extended his out pofts along the Panara, as far as St. Bi anca, and along the Recco and Po di Primer°, as far As Argent() and Bailie. On this occafion, the enemy's poll near Col di Fiume was attacked by Captain Herdlizka, under the direCtion of Lieut.- Colonel Graffen, when two Captains, two Officer, and x t privates were made prifoners, and the r oll killed ; Is veld' were alfo taken from the en e my, and conveyed to our !bore. The enemy, who bad conflantly tent foraging parties from the en virons of Mercaria to this fide of the Oglio, for which purpofe they occupied Ofpitaletto and Campitello, were, at ttie fame time, attacked in both thefe places by a divifion fent from Mantua, by the Cemmandaot of that city, Field-Marna' . , Lientehant Mimes,' i, ind drlien from them with a conlideralge lots in killed and wounded, and fome prifoners." Vllllll/1., DIC. 17. TwO days ago the Englith Ambaifadsir, Lord Muir°, received difpatches from London, by a courier, upon which he had a long converfation with our bEnifter of State. Since that time it is reported, that the Court of London had releafed our Court from all Obligations, in cafe of an op portunity offering itfelf for concluding a feparate peace with advantage. Should this be a fait, we may hope, if not for a general Peace, yet for a Peace between France and Aufiria. After the battle of Hohenlinden, General MOR Eau fent an' officer to the Archduke Jour+, to offer Peace, and to declare tLat he was authorifed by his Go-, vcrnment, till he fhould arrive at Linz, but not after the French army had advanced beyond Linz. The Prince-Bithop of Salzburg arrived here yeflerday, with a numerous fuite. Many of the inhabitants of the bilhoprie of Salzburg have alfo arrived here.

All the branches of the ROYAL FAMILY were invited yefterday to dine with their MAJESTISS at the Queen's Houfe. This being New-Year's Day, a Council was held at St. James's for his MAJESTY and the Mem bers of the Privy Council to infpet the Arms and Seals, altered on account of the Um tow with Ireland.

Thefe perfons Sir SiD/Ilty treated with fuch refped and dillinetion, that he prevailed on them to co-operate with him againft the French, whom they were previoufly inclined to ferve. The late Rev. J.
