The fquadron which has failed from Hampton roads is ordered to touch at Gibraltar, and the Commodore will be governed by fuch in formation as he may there receive. The Algerine annuity is nearly three years in arrear ; but it is ex petted, when the reafons arc communicated to the Dey, and affurances given of future puntluality, that he will be difpofed to continue at peace with us. Should it be otherwife, it is imagined the two forty-fours will be able to blockade the port. The Bafhaw of Tripoli is fuppofed not to have waited for the reply of the Prefident to his demands, but to have commenced hoflilities. His force, how- ever, is infigniticant, being one veffel of s 8 guns, and a few of 18 and under.

PROCLAMATION. THE CONSULS OF THE REPUBLIC TO THE INHABI TANTS OF THE FOUR DEPARTMENTS OF THE LLFT RANK OF THE RHINE. A folemn treaty concluded between the Repub. lic, the Head of the Empire, and the Germanic Body, and ratified at Paris on the 16th of March, has definitively conjoined your deftiny to that of France. The interelts and Rights of the Repub lic have become yours; your interefts and your rights are become hers. In adopting you (he has vowed to extend her beneficence and folicitude to yr u , in the fame manner as to all her other children ; fhe calls upon you to promife, as they have done, fidelity towards her. Let that pro mife make all forget the ties from which the treaty has difengaged you, and imprefs refpeel for thofe which now bind you to the Republic. Let it put an end to the vain apprchenfions which prevent fome perfons from enjoying the advantages of the union, and to the abfurd hopes which lead others to difguife or mifreprefent them. What rcafon. able perfon can be blind to thefe advantages? Odious privileges no longer fetter the induftry of mechanics; the game no longer ravage the field of the hufbandman, and devour the fruits of his labour; debating rorvia, and the degradation of feudal fervitudes, have ceafed with relpea to all. Tythes are abolifhcd ; contributions of all kinds arc diminiftied; the taxes are equally divided be tween manorial and church lands,formerly exempt from all burden, and thou: of private individuals, which formerly bore the whole. The inland cu(: a•ms, o n paging from one country to another, and which imp. des the navigation of the rivers, are repreffed. Yon have a free commerce with France, the moll i advaniai , ;.:ous market in the world; and it will no longer n:ret with tiboi, obitAcles oppokJ to it by the ancient tronti , s: Impartial jullice and a regular adminiftration are fubftituted for the arbi- 1 trary authority of bailiffs. Such are the advan tages fecured by the union with refpeEt to liberty and profperity. Its effeCts are not lefs beneficial with refpat to the fecurity and tranquility of the country. Inftead of being under the guardianfhip of interefts oppofite and always at variance, it will be proteCted by the common intereft of thirty mil lion of citizens. Inttead of being fubjed to a multitude of petty fovereignties too feeble to de fend, but Prong enough to opprefs it, you will be proteded by a power which can always make its territory be refpeCted. The union of the four de partments to France is to them a pledge of prof perky, and their promife of fidelity to the Repub lic will be as much an expreffion of their affeetion for her, as an acknowledgement of the ails which have united them. BONAPARTE, Firft Conful of the Republic, ordains that the above Proclama tion (hall be inkrted in the Bulletin of Laws, and be pul,lifhed, printed, and polled up in the four departments on the left bank of the Rhine. Given at Paris, Palace of the Government, July 18, 9th year of the French Republic, (Signed) Firit Conful, ■ON A PART r. 'fhe Secretary of State, H. B. 'JAKE r. PARIS, JULY so. A private letter from Conliantinople, of the date of the loth of June, gives us the following details The French have an intrenched camp of from 6 to 1000 men before Alexandria, which have for three months kept in check between 12 and 14,0c0 Englilh, furnifhed with a formidable train of artillery. The polition of General MENou, fupported by the forts of Alexandria, is very good. The intrenched camp under Cairo is of the fame force, and equally capable of refilling. A great noife has been made refpeeling the affair of Rha m mix. The Turks had no great merit in that attack, as they were fupported by 3000 Englifh." Letters from St. Croix, in Tencriffe, dated the sth of May !late, that a Spanifh [hip, which ar rived there a few days before from Buenos Ayres, had brought accounts that tho Republican cor vette la Bergere, in company with la Mufette gal- Lor and l'Alerte lugger, had put in there with two prizes ; that thefe veffels had made a fortunate cruize, were in good condition, and had foon after failed for Cayenne.—Mendteur. BATTLE OF ALGFZIRAS• Honour and glory to the brave LINOIS and the fearnen who fought under him on the sth of July. Undoubtedly there is not a Frenchman who did not read, with the molt lively emotion, the rela tion of the glorious combat which they have fuf tained. May an aCtion fo memorable form the epoch of the refurreCtion of the French navy, and prove to Europe that it is not true that our navy is, from the nature and force of circumftances, def tined to be inferior to the Englifh navy ! But whence can have arifen that fpecies of adage which we have heard repeated with a fort of complacency even by Frenchmen, that upon land we are fupe rior to the Englifh, but that we muff admit all their advantages by fea. moil certainly we muff admit them upon all occafions when our marine, negleeted and forgotten, receives neither encou ragement nor pay, when no movement is teen in our ports, and our tailors are left in a Rate of hu miliating and fatal inaftivity. Have we not, fince the Revolution, teen tailors who have not been at' lea for four or five years; and yet there are men who think that we fhould have well difciplined fquadrons, and formidable naval armaments. Had our land forces being kept in barracks,or entrench ed camps; or, to make the parallel more complete, had we only appointed an army to be railed, but taken no means to make the men join who were neceirary to complete its battalions, can we fup pole *hat they would have atchieved the prodigies which have Airmailed the world ? Certainly not. It was by actual fervice that they learnt to com bat. They had courage ; and experience gave them (kill. The fame refult would be found, if commencing with the elements of our marine, the fame care and the fame folicitude were exerted for its relloration. But for a long time we were in a Rate of agitation. The Continent of Europe was in arms; our frontiers were invaded ; and it was fuppofed that no more was wanting than to defend them. The proteetion of commerce, the defence of diltarit polfeliions, the liberty of the teas, with out which there can he no real power among mo dern Rates ;—all thefe primary means of prof-perity were abandoned. But to infer from the great ad. vantage given to our enemies, by a total negled of placing our navy on a relpeCtable footing as well as our army, that this advantage is in a manner their natural inheritance, and to form this con. elution into a kind of prejudice, is a proceeding the molt unjuff, abfurd, and dangerous. Our tai lors are Frenchmen, and as fuch may theynotbe as brave, fkilful, intelligent, and intrepid as the Eng lifh ? Have they not proved the contrary in for mer wars ? Have we forgotten the names of JEAN BART,DUGOV AY-TROUIN,DUCW ESNE,TOUR V ILL!, and in the prefent war thole of SURCOUr,the brave commander of the Bayonaife, &c. England is an Hand, and necellity makes the Englifh complete feamen. But though France is not an Wand, has the not numerous ports in the I Channel, and on the coafts of the Ocean and Me diterranean? Does any one think that it is on board the packet boats between Dover and Calais the Ftiglith learners are formed ? And can our French mariners go by the Rage coach to both the Indies, the Peas of the North, the Pacific and Sou thern Oceans? Thefe few ohfervations fufficiently (hew how eafily the moll abfurd opinion mayobtain circulation. Happily the prefent Government well know it. It has not been difcouraged by obfia cks of any kind, neither by our pall lolres, the con tinental expenditure, nor prejudices which expe rience contradiets. It now reaps the firft fruits of its providence, patience, and zeal. We have to hope that the great example which has juft been exhibited, will add confiderably to the means it developes ; that it will encourage our feamen, give our ern mie a more jult idea of what we can effect, and prepare new triumphs, which will he regarded by the French people as the reward of their facri.

Rochefort, July I am to tranfmit to you, Citizen, an advice which the Miniller has fent to this port, in confe quence of an explination which has taken place with the Englifh Government on the fubjeEl of tl:e freedom of fithery,throult the medium of Citizen OTTO, French Commiflary at London, for the exchange of prifoners of war : it appears that the Englifh Government undcrftand, t. That the freedom of fithery is not founded on a Conven tion, but upon a Pimple concetTion on their part, which was produced by an appeal made latterly to the humanity of the Britith Minlftry, and of the whole nation ; and that this con ceffion will always be fubordinatc to the convenience of the moment. 2. That this conceffion never referred to the great Filhery, nor to the trade in oyfters or fifh ; which, According to the opi nion of the linglifb, ought to be fubjed to the fame checks as all other commerce. - - - You fee by this, that the freedom of flitter,' is reduced to that of (hell-fifh, which is carried on on the coall. You will in confequence give to this advice all neceffary publicity in your quarter, and inform more particularly the fifhermen of it, in order that they may be on their guard againft the hoftile intentions of the Englilh cruifers; and that they do not expore themfelves to imminent danger. BAMBERG, JULY I3.—A letter from Bareuth fays, that on the Ath of this month, an order ar rived there from the KING of PRUSSIA, to arreft eight of the Emigrants who were there, and to guard them ftrittly ; at ten at night this arreft took place, and there are the names of the per lons ; Count de Precy, who commanded at Lyons, at the liege of that city in 1793 ; his fon, Laverin, formerly General in the fervice of the King of France ; Dorand and Maceau, French officers ; Grunbaum, Colonel, whole real name is Lacha pelle ; St. Felix, who affumed fometimes the name of Kaufman, and had a command among the Chouans ; the eighth, in all probability, Pichegru, who had refided at Bareuth for fome time, and was known there by the name of Peterle, had let off a week ago, and of courfe could not be arrefled. All there prifoners were fent, after an examina tion of their papers and effetfls, to the new cal le, where each is guarded in a feparate room by an inferior officer and three foldiers: neither knives nor forks, nor any !harp inftruments, are permitted them ; and all communication with each other, or with any other perfon, is forbidden.

Comte of Exchange—Paten on London us i a Le. We are happy to announce the fafe arrival of the June fleet from the Weft Indies, off Cape Clear. The fubjeCt of invafion, which continues to be kept totally out of view in the French Journals, is now the order of the day here—fcarce any thing is talked of but the preparations of the enemy and the meafures of precaution adopted in this country. The march of troops on the other fide is accom panied by correfponding movements on this; and, whether the enemy be ferious or not, the prepa rations to repel them feem to be real. Indeed very great exertions are making to add to our na val defence : the prefs for feamen on the River and in the different ports never was more attire than at prefcnt, and the greaten aCtivity prevails in the dock-yards. Abford reports have been circulated of the enemy having landed, fometimes in Suffolk, fometimes in other places of the Englifh coati, Tometimes in Ireland ; and it is wonderful to find how many people, we do not fay believe, but re• peat thefe unfounded rumours. The Settlement in Egypt is the original and fa vourite objea of BONAPARTI'S genius. lie will, therefore, (train every nerve to accomplifh the re. lief of the army, and the final ellablifliment of the Frcnch in that province. To this difpofition, we believe, arc to be attributed all thofe armaments on the oppofite coaft, oftenfibly direded to an in. vafion of this country. If he can confine our at tention to the defence of the coati, and induce us to draw the principal part of our navy round thefe 'fiends, he hopes to fucceed in the defign of fcnd ing a fleet and army to Egypt. The fquadron of GANTHIAUNI is well calcu lated to elude our fleets, and to avail itfclf of an opportunity of landing troops on the African coaft. The French (hips are enabled by their length to outfail the fwiftcft of ours, and were therefore choral for this primary °Ned. Government are fo ftrioufly attentive to the rof. fibility of an inv4fion, that every leave of abfence, that had been riven to the Officers in the mari time counties, has been revoked. HAMBURG!!

Some letters Elate, once more, the furrendcr of Porto-Fcrrajo. This we thall not credit till comes in fume Official form. In faft, the Mail brings hardly any thing rit.,v worth recording. LEGHORN, JUNE 19.—The French troops ate making preparations to leave us, and our GRAN!, DUKE will probably foon again take poffeUion of his States. Our port is now entirely free, and (hips are daily arriving and going out, fo that trade be gins to revive. The Engli(h (hips of war, however, hold the ports of Sicily and Calabria ftri&ly block aded, to prevent no doubt any French expeditions failing from them for Egypt. MILAN, JUNE 3o.—According to accounts from Malta two Englifh frigates have failed from that harbour with feveral tranfports laden with provi. lions and ammunition for the Englith army and fleet on the coati of Egypt. There are kill 4003 men at Malta. Several Captains of (hips that have arrived at Genoa fay, that Porto Ferrajo has at lait fvrren- dered to the French. FLORENCE, JUNE 30.- Accounts received yef. terday from Leghorn, fay, that according to the alrertions of feveral Captains who have arrived there, Admiral GANTHEAUME has landed his troops at Derna, an African maritime town in the :kingdom of Barca. Derna is five days journey from Alexandria, principally through the defart. GANTHEAUME failed from the coat of Sicily to the north of the Ifland of Candia, and, thus efcaped the Engli(h fquadron under Admiral Bic eseros, which was detached from Egypt in queft of him. VIENNA, Jut.y B.—As the Neapolitan harbours are now blockaded by the Englifh, the latter take the Neapolitan !hips wherever they find them. An Englifh frigate very lately, in the Adriatic, chaced on fhore a Neapolitan brig, which was convoying a merchant Chip. Count SALIRAU is preparing to go as Envoy to St. Peterfburgh. OSTEND, JULY I4.—Since the flotillas from Ha. vre, Boulogne, Calais, Nieuport, andOftend, have bcen in motion, the Englifh cruizers have colleted before Dunkirk, where it is fuppofed all thofe flo tillas will rendezvous, nal form a naval force of nearly soo vefrels of war, among which are feveral frigates. In any cafe, important events may now be expeaed Coon to take place on the Belgic coatis. BRLISSILS, JULY 2.—At Treves and Namur, as well u at Luxemburg, the French are filling all their magazines of provifions that - can he fpared, with a great quantity of field equipage, and 3000 artillery horks. Four hundred pieces of cannon brought from Germaoy, have been new colt to the French calibres, in the founderies of Metz. An officer of the Confular Guard has paled through this city, as a courier, on his way to St. Peter(burgh. Flaous, JULY r4.—A new plan of a Batavian Conftitution has been fent from hence to Paris, and we expect the opinion of the Firft Conful on it, whether it (hall be formally fubmitted to the deliberation of the Legifiative Body. The ROYAL FAMILY landed at Weymouth on Wecinefday evening, after an aquatic excurfion, at a quarter part (even o'clock; their MAJESTIFS were obliged to be towed in.—Her MAJESTY or dered the meq refrefhment, and admiffion into the Theatre.

Mr. KtraE, an Admiralty Meffenger, was dill pazched.o a lire hour laft night to Admiral Lard G4anselt, Commander in Chief at Cork, with in artglions for the defence of the frills coaft. The Bucks Militia has orders to encamp on ClaCion Cliffs, which command that part of the Vier coaft between the Colne river and Harwich. The 4th regiment of foot is on its route, to re inforce the troops of the line in the Ea(tern liana. CHALLIS CAM Rios ' Efq. fon of the late hanker, is appointed to the Prefidency of the Civil Govern ment of Malta, with a falary of appol. per annum. One hundred petitioners from the Royal Hofpi tal at Greenwich are ordered to be drafted on board the different (hips which are to be Rationed as float ing batteries along the coaß. There is no doubt that there was an intention a few days Once on the pan of the Dutch Admiral to put to lea : the anchors were even weighed; but upon certain fymptoms of difcontent which were difcernible in the feamen, it was judged pro per to moor again !
