4MERICAN PAPERS. Yefterday we received New York papers to the 21 II of Augull inclufive. In appears that the malignant fever, though' much abated, fiat continues to rage at Philadel phia, Baltimore, and fome other places. It has been the caufe, as ufual, of a great ftagnation of trade, by occafioning every perfon that could af ford it to fly for fafety into the country. Health Offices are eftablifhed as ufual, and the Phyficians appointed to them continue daily to give accounts of the progrefs of the fever, by Rating the number of perfons who are afilieted or die of it. 'We are happy to find that their accounts in the laft papers are favourable,and the cold weather will, no doubt, loon llop the progrefs of the difeafe for this feafon. • The inhabitants of New York have" lately been much alarmed by the arrival there of three French frigates, with a number of prifoners or negroes on board. The Mayor of New York wrote imme diately to the Commander of the divifion, expref ling a hope that he was acquainted with the fcrupulous jealoufy with which the Americans watched the introdu&ion of fuch perfons into their country, and requefted an afthrance that no fuch people would be permitted to land. The aniwer re turned by the French Commander was fatisfactory. Letters from the city of Wafhington mention that the Prefident of the United States is ferioully indifpofed. Letters from Charlefton, dated Augutt 3, fay dg On Friday laft anchored at Fort Johnfon, the French fhip Danae, from the Havanna. We un derftand that this fhip was a sloop of war in the Britifh navy,• and is the I've which, when com manded by Lord PROSY, was carried into Breit by the crew. She is now in the merchant fervice. " Captain DAVIS, who lately arrived at Norfolk, brings information that about the aoth of July laft, every white inhabitant of the ifland of Tortuga was murdered by the negroes ; and that the mo men; the account reached the Cape, two frigates full of troops were difpatched from that place to quell the infurre.ftion. - 44 According to the reports of the Board of Health, the '4:hence of the contagious diitemper which raged at Philadelphia, and other parts of the United States, has confiderably abated." • Letters from Philadelphia to a Gentleman in town, from the 3oth of july to the t4th of Augult inclufive, Rate, that the reports of the prevalence of contagious fever in that city have been grad' , exaggerated, and we are lorry to add, from the molt diabolical motives. From a letter of Auguft 14, we make the fol lowing extra& : " I write this at the coffee-houfe, finding a vet . - fel likely to fail tomorrow, merely to inform you that we are well :—This is necessary, in order to relieve your minds from apprehen lions of the fever, the moil exaggerated accounts of which have no doubt reached yon. The fth is truly this : —An ill-founded alarm has taken potreffion of the minds of the citizens, and this has been worked upon by the Jacobin Newfpapers, in order to drive out all thofe citizens who have any property, and of cou: fc are not on //wk . /We—and all this that they may have an elation, which is near at hand, entirely! in their own hands. About ten perfons have cer tainly died of the old- yellow fever ; and thefe deaths were confined to about a quarter of a mile rquare of the city. " The City Hofpital was opened, which is al ways the trump of alarm ; into it there have been sixteen perfoits admitted, .op/temp/alias, eleven of whom are nfflw convalefcent. There have been no ntw cafes thefe.five days ; nor does one Ask' raft of yellow fever now vxo ix this city. I give you this as - f from the Morning's Report of the Board of Health. The city ww newer known more healthy.— It has been a cool rainy fummer, and I am now clothed as I generally am in the month of Novem ber. Yet after all this, you will be alloniihed when I tell you that all bufinefs is fufpended ; fcaraly • snore than one houfe in four-open, and one half of the citizens who are out afraid to come into the• city.—Such is the panic amongft them:" A letter from New York, dated Auguft rg, lays, " We learn from Captain Boor., of the fhip Pro teeor, who ar:ived here yellerday in 35 days from Cadiz, that jut} before he faikd he law a letter from Mr. SIN 'sot+, American Conful at Tangiers, who was then at Gibraltar, having been driven out of the Emma' of MOROCCO'S dominionc.— He l a w an of circular note from Mr K raritica, fia!ing, that on the 7th of June, two American vefiels, the Rofe and Franklin, both be longing to Philadelphia, had been captured in the Mediterranean,'off Cape Palace, by the Tripolitan cruizers. This information was offici..Uy commu nicated by M'. KILPATRICK to Mr. TERRY, die American Vice Conful at Cadiz. In conliquence of the abrupt treatment which Mr. Sitarsom re ceived, Commodore Mortars, of the United States frigate Chcfapeake, proceeded to Tangiers, which • . place he judieiottili blockaded . — Th is meafure had a happy drat, for the Estrasoa bas since recalled Mr. &Parma, and he was aflually carried back to Tangier's in the frigate' Cbcfapeake, wh ere he was informed—" That be might remain in the Empc sor's dominions for fax months longer, or till ad *ices should be received from the United Stites." FRANCE. • PRIVAtE LETTER. . -PARIS, SEPTIMIpt 26. ' General Moexeu has ever expreffecl tiimfelf with much freedom with•regard to the conduit of Government. He could not fupport in the Con. ful that Princely 'attitude, 'as he called it—that tone of fuperiority—nor the ceremonies to be ob. ferved in order to gain admiffion at the Thailleries. He for a confiderable time abftained frtnn all communication with a family, whole pride and felfimportance difgufted him. He even refufed to be prefent at the feaft given in honour of Peace, though he hid been invited—a little late, 'tis true —but by 4 note written by the Conful bimielf. From that moment he encouraged feveral diffa• tiified Generals to meet at his houfe, not with the intention of forming any plot againft the Go vernment, but to affuage, by familiar converfation with men whole opinions accorded with his own, the refentment he experienced. His houfe was the only place in which there were any traces to be found of liberty and independence—to which (pies had no accefs, and of confequence, in which there was little danger of beinAtetrayed. Whether it was that thefe meetings excited inquietude, or that at the moment when the Cenral imagined himfelf eftabli(hed in his Throne, he fought to conciliate a man whom the public opinion had placed above him, it was deemed convenient to make that Ge neral lome advances, and in order to faceted, to adopt meafures analagous to the cbaraaer whole intereft was to be gained. DESSOLLEs, the Conniellor of State, was charged to make the firit overtures. He demanded of General MOREAU what were the things that dia pleated him in the prefent conduit of the Govern ment, (cuing afide however what 'Mated tei ex terior appearances, aiid. the dinity which the Chief of a State ought to preferve ?-." Defpotifm," replied Mozsetr,-1-66 that SylleM of Eonage which every where furrounds us ; that authority ever threatening us, and never to he guarded againft.- -18 But if France fhould be eftablifhed under a Conftitutional Empire—if, for example, the Minifter of General Police was fuppreffed, to gather witli his army of (pies, would you not (faid M. DESSO4ES) find this fir fatisfadion fufficient to determine you to attach yourfelf to the Go. vernment ?" The General. anfwered, 44 that if he (hould fee fqch a fuppreffion, he would begin to think it was the commencement of the fuf penfion of thofe tyrannical proceedings which tormented and fubjugated every mind." " Well, then Fouca a was difmiffed yefterday, and I am dclired to announce it to you on the part of the Conful." The General was fenfible of this attention, and promifed M. Dtssmuss, as the firtt pledge of conciliation with the Government, to vifit Mal maifon. He was received by M. JOIRPH BoNa. ?ARM by M. Locum, by Madame BONAPARTE, the mother, and Madame Louts: The Conful was not there, but he was prefent in the atten• tions and civilities of which his modeft rival was the objea, and in the earnellnefs to raife him from that obfcurity which was a cenfure on the Government. It is raid that MoLvAu is to be appointed, as a matter of form only, to the Legiflative Body, pre paratory to his being nominated Grand Officer of the Legion of, Honour. It is, in fad, the only Corps which has pot yet made its nomination. But it is doubted whether that General, who has conftantly declared himfelf the enemy of all thofe diflinetions which the Conful has been defirous of eflablifhing, will renounce his principles by accepting it. If he fhould peed" in refuting it, Mutes- or LECLERC will receive the appointment. The Grand Officers of the Legion of Honour will be fimilar to the Grand Officers of the Crown.— The Conful himfelf has the difpofal of thofe places, referving to himfelf the power of making fuch changes as circumaances or the times, of which he is to be the judge, may hereafter render necelfary. The day after General MOREAU went to Mal maifon, his wife fet out to pay a Tait to Madame Looks BONAPARTE, with whom the had been edu cated at St Germainau-Laye, in the celebrated inflitution of Madame CAM PAN. It is now known that for fix months pail Fouc HE has retained the office of Minißer of Police only through the intereft of CAMBACERS3, who openly protefted him. Some time ago FoucHa caufed one of the principal Agents of Police, belonging to theConful, to be arrelled, becaufe he fufpeded his havingfurni(hed fignals different from his own, and having brought his fyßem of efpionap and his (pies into difrepute. One of the P re f e d s of the . Palace was direr ed to demand the imniedtate re-- !cafe of this Agent. FOUCHI anfwered, that he would make a report on this cubic& The affair remained in fufpenfe for fome days; but the Con ful, finding that his orders were not executed, be came ferioufly angry, and was about to difplace the Miniller, when CAMBACJIIIts contrived that he fliould only be exiled into the Senate. The new promotions have produced fome dif contents. Two Prefects of Departmeto, for in ' Rance, are called up to the Council of State; and ' the Prele of Paris is palled over in neglect. A caft of the die will obtain a place. The Conful 1 himfelf makes al! the nominatio n s. H ; ,remem bers the names of individuals whom he has heard people (peak of, or whom he has remarked in any particular circumflances ; and when helvithes to give away any office, theft names come to his re collation. Happy are they who are firft.prefent ed to his memory. He is pleafcd with thefe fad den elevations—with there favours—which nobody can explain ; not even thole who are the ohjeets of them. This mode of giving rewards, or railing his creatures, accords with thole turns of fortune that have raifed him to what be is. Dircontent prevails conllantly among thetronps. Several perfons have refilled to pay the Bithops the honours that have been ordained them. All thole who are contented to do fo, have done it 1 with a bad grace, and wi t h m urmurs . I n f evera l towns, great fcenes of indecency t a k e pl ac e. Th e pay of fome corps is in arrear. Yet nobody can Itell whether there cid - contents are .9f a nature to . break out into open revolt. Switz rat. A N n.—A private letter from Berne, of the 2lft, lays, " On the 18th, at eight in th e even= ing, M. D. WATT FYI LLE entered this place, wear ing the red and black cockade. He immediately waited upon M-Dm.nsit ; when die following ca pitulation was agreed upon. 1. There Bull be a furpention of arms for 24 hours. • 11. During that interval, thefoi.efifort Government and all Vie troops thall eraeuate the town. The Bernefe army under. takes to procure the bodes necelfary to tranfport the/or-di/ant Government as far as Lanfanne. 4 , This Convention was concluded after a long and bloody adion, which took place under the walls of Berne. The army, commanded by M M. WATTsvicr,s, d'ERLAcn, and EFFINGUFR, was compofed of the peafants of Argovia, of the Canton of Soleure, of the Oberland, of the Petit . Lac, of Niddau and Arberg. DOLDERN troops repaired to the ramparts. They fired grape flint on the peafants, who in return, threw tome balls into the town, which only. injured the Hotel de Ville. M. EFFINGUER had previoufly entered with a flag of truce, with a cover over his eyes, but be. ing unable to fucceed in the negociation, the attack recommenced. It was only after a very warm ac tion at one of the gates of the town, that the ufurpers propoted to capitulate. Apprehenfions are entertained that every thing is not tranquil at Laufanne. The whole Pays de Vaud is in a (late of fermentation. It is not known whether their objed be to fupport the caufe of the revolutionihs. 4' On the 19th M. de WATTF.VILLE, appOileed Commander in Chief, paid a vifit to the French Minifter VERNINAC, who gave him a very polite reception. The Bear has every where been re-tf tablifhed as well as the 'Bernefe Colours. Ft ibourg furrendered to the peafants who came to befiege it. Soleure on the 17th did the fame. In a (port time all Switzerland, except the Pays de Vaud, will be again placed under its ancient laws. The twodemi-brigades to b. fent byßoNApAaTE,are to come from Italy,and cannot arrive before es days. —lt is hoped that in that time every thing will be fettled, and that the French Government will not attempt to replace Switzerland under an influence which it has deflroyed with fo much vigour and under a dependance which is abhors. " The following is the plan of Conttitution now in circulation : ART. I. The cantons than each have a month's time to form each its own Government, adapted to its ufages, its local fitu ation, and its exifting eircumftances. 11.
