opP-r I tR~IIViC~'. !Mtn, SIPW.I4InER st. The Commitlion of Engineers and Officers of Artillery, fent by Government into the four new Departments, on the Left Bank of the Rhine, to determine the belle &nations for the conaration of fortteffes of the firft rank, have already Surveyed the Hundfruck, and the Banks of the Nahe and Mofelle, and tranftnitted a variety of plans to the Milliner at War. It appears that the aty of Creutznach, faulted on the Nahe, will be forti fied, and that another forma is to be ended on the Mofelle, between 'heves and Coblentz. According to accounts from Berne, of the z silt, Citizen VAILNINAC had not then prefented his cre dentists to the Helvetic Government. It was re ported that the Provincial Goiernment will un dergo come changes before its final diffolution.— Riz Companies of Helvetic Troops had been fent to Lucerne, to maintain tranqudhty al &ants, and , in the vicinity. Letters from Philiplburgh, dated the t tth infl. late, that a few days before M. de Taarrsuas, Lieut. Col. in the fervice of his Majefly the Essr e foat in ronfequence of an order received by ezprefs rom the Archduke Criaa Les, arrived in that for trefs, for the purpofe of examining the Rate of the fortifications, and re-eftablifhing, on a new plan, filch of them as have been demolifhed during the war. They further Rate, that the work has al reset commenced, and is going on with great waiver. According to accounts received at Rochefort, from Cayenne, there fill remain in that deflruc tive Colony, fiztrnine tranfported priefts. There unfortunate perfons were apprized that the Go vernment had fent three veffels to bring them home, but that they had been captured on the paffage by the' Englifh. Hope, however, fill cheered their exile. " Evety morning," fays one of thefe tidims in his letter, " we turn our eyes towards the Eaf, in expeaation of defcrying the veffels that are to carry us hence. For three years have we lived in hope ; and we will not relinquifh that hope but with our !men breath. It required only a nod from the Diredory to plunge us into a gulph of mifery, and the firm refolution of a jail 'Government has not yet been able to deliver us from it. It is eafy to perform an injury, but dif ficult to repair it. The old and refpeaable Don is about to revifit France. How happy mull this old man be in returning, at the age of feventy years, to his native foil, which zoo of our compa nions, young and robuft, when they left it, will never more *old." On the t zth pa (fed through Nancy, on his way to Vienna, the elder Citizen GIItAVD, Chief of Brigade, and Principal Secretary to the French Embaffy. He was accompanied by Citizen De- MASI RAYMOND. On the day following naffed through the fame place, Prince DOLOOROUKY, Colonel, Aidede-Camp to his Majefty the EMTL• sot of Russia, on his journey to Paris, with an extraordinary miffion to the Filter Consul.. He was accompanied by Captain REIDWaItD. It is confidently afferted that the French and Auftrian Governments have fettled a particular regulation relative to their refpedive Minifters.— Each Government is to grant to the other's Am baffador a Refidence, a Guard of Honour, and the juritiliaion over the individuals of his own nation, at the place of his refidence. They write from l'Orienr, that an Englifb cot.- fair, armed as a lugger, was, while vifiting, on the night of the t ith of Auguft, the Danifh fhip .the Hans &rend, commanded by Capt. Faustus., and laden with felt fills for L'Orlent, guilty of car rying off all her papers. The firs Corps of Cavalry and Infantry belong ing to the tc,oco French troops that are to eva cuate Holland, will immediately fet out from chit Country on their return to France, by the way of Nimeguen, Bois le Due, and Breda. • General Anclaseu is expeaed very fkortly at Bruffels, with feveral officers belonging to his Staff. Letters received yefferday from Rotterdam, Rate, that the Englifh fquadrons and cruizers have again refuined their Rations off the Hies of Wal. cheren and Goree, and before the ports of Brill, Ilelvoet, and Texel. The lap port has not, as was reported. been declared in a hate of blockade. Letters from Middleburgh Rate, that for (bine days the number of Englifh (hips of war cruising off the wellern point of the Ilk of Walcheren, at the mouth of the Scheldt. and before Fluffing Roads, has onfiderably increafed, and two (hips of the line and Tome frigates, fuppofed to belong to the fquadron of Admiral Guavas, have been Teen in thole Roads. It teems certain that the move ments of the enemy have no other objet but to prevent the departure from Flufhing Bay of the divifion of (hips of war there colleaed. At all events, however, meafures of precaution have been adopted at the entrance of the Road. and along part of the ifle of Walcheren. On the other hand, tlsere remains in the county of Cadfant, a corps of troops fufficient to the defence of it. Several bat. series have been thrown up on different parts of the coaft. Accounts from Ravenna, mention a tragical event which lately took place in that city, and which had produced the moll fatal confequences " A French foldier, of the t rth Regiment of Dra goons, having milted with tome children who were engaged in play in the town of Ports Nouva, gave one of them a flight flap on the head. The child ran home crying ; on which the child's bro. ther immediately Tallied out with a knife. and killed the foldier. The Civil Authorities and the OW/I - rrrandant tithe place Maundy took the neeoffary frlps for kerning the perfon of the alTattn, but he hal already fled. The foldier's companions then I :coming furious with revenge, fcaled the walls ref tl.e wan. and fet Are to feveral houfis. One man was killed with their fibres, as he was endea v,toring to fare himfelf frost the flames. By the exertiun of General Qvesuao, the foldiers were graluallv appeafed, and the city, by that means, preferred from greater misfortunes. The Muni cipality. hcir.y, :leaded of aninz too remifsly in this affair, • :re difmiffed by the Ett:aurcitaary commitrary of the Deptrunent." • STRASMIRCIII. EEY P 15. Yellerday Prince Naesau &sou', the Ruffian Admiral, arrived here. It was this officer who, in the tai war between Sweden and Rullia, alter , being vittorious over the Swedes, loft the amous' naval battle of Schwenk Sand, in 1790. is, however, an able feaman. After a Ilion Ray, he fet out for Paris, whence he'goes to Spain. He was fumifhed with paffports from Prince KURA• 111, Minifter of State to ALB:anus& the Flare, and from the Spanilh Ambafrador at Vienna. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. - Lac HOIW, SEPT. 2.—Two French frigates, the Succefs and the Bravoure, having left this port for the purpofe of carrying (totes for the fiege of Porto.Ferrajo, having dircovered near the Canal of Piombono four Englith frigates and another (hip cut down, they endeavoured to return into this port to avoid fo unequal a contett., The Succefs grounded near Vado; the Bravoure endeavoured to relieve her.

The crews of both frigates were fared, together with a part of the effeeta.—The Englith got off the Succefs-- the French are endeavouring to rave the Bravoure. Two Daniil frigates, the Thetis and the Triton, have entered our port ; the firtt comes from Tri poli, and brings the Ambaffador from Morocco; the other comes from Tnnis. We learn, through this channel, that Tripoli is blockaded by an Ame rican 5o gun fhip. Two Greeks, ladep with grain, and feveral other Tails, are In fight, Nics, Sm. to.—A. fignal has been hoifted at Fort Montalban to give notice of a fmall Englifh fquadron being leen off 'nand cit Corfica ; it confin ed of eight or ten fall, frigates and corvettes. It it , believed that it has French prifoners on board from Egypt for France; yet it is rumoured that the Eng hill have hoftile views againft our Coaft, and that they mean to blockade Toulon and Martini's. The General Commandant has given orders to in creak the batteries on the coaft. NAPLES, SEPT. s.—The King having been in formed that doubts haying arifen refpeaing the ex. ecution of the edit of the 25th of July, relative to the relief of fequelirations, whether confifcated goods are alto included, has formally declared, by a difpatch of the 18th of Auguft, that thefe goods are alto comprehended in the firft edit. CONSTANTINOFLS, Auo. M.—Since the execu tion of the capitalation of Cairo, a kind of flag nation has prevailed in thy operations of the armies of Egypt. His Excellency M. de TAMARA having lately received an extraordinary difpatch from bis Court,a report was !bon fpread, that this Milliner had been recalled. This report is not however confirmed. A Ruffian packet from the Crimea has this moment call anchoi before Biajakdere : it has brought difpatches for M. Te si ARA, POSPANIA, SEPT. t.—The 28th of laft month was a fatal day for the city of Frandlladt, iri our department. At four o'clock in the afternoon a violent flame burg out from the houfe of the joiner Kuhn, who had imprudently left fome varnifh upon the fire. By eight o'clock in the evening, the handfomefl part of the new town, the Protef tent church, the fynagogue. 252 citizens bodes, a houfe belonging to the Chamber of Domains, two other pnvate houfes, two windmills, a num ber of barns, were all reduced td afbes. All reports agree in Hating that the mifery of the inhabitants is at its height. Very few were able to Pave any thing of their property, and fome of the richeft of the town are reduced now to live upon charity. Amougn thofe burnt out are, to merchants, 27 cloth manufaiturers, &c, PlTEltalnaoll, Auo. 21.—The old Governor WoaoN zow, who had been the vidim of a falfe accufation, has received an affurance from the Emperor of a place equal to his merit. The ac curer is difgraced, without any hopes of getting an employment. Another convided of abufe of power =one his vafals, has been difgraced. Vltava, Auo. 28.—The capture of Belgrade by P•awsw OGLOU is an event that may be at tended with important confequences. This fa mous Pafha, whom Tome perfons perfiil in treat ing like a rebel,will probably foon have font great powers for his allies. It was on the 19th of Augufl that the rebel Ja niffaries took poffefilon of the titadel of Belgrade. Pastwaa GOLOU had lent 800 of his belt troops to their affiftance, and was to hive been there him. f& on the s2d. The Palm is a prifoner, and is in Tome danger of his life; two of his moll zealous partizans have been mall - acted. A like event has taken place in Sabacz. All Bofhia is in infurrec• tion. In Turkifh Dalmatia the Paflia of Janina has revolted and driven away, or maffacred all the partisans of the Porte. Thefe laft events will have great influence on the fate of this Power in Eu rope; and we may confider, from the prefent I time, the two Provinces of Sepia and Bofnia as loft to it. Sur. s.—The Anftrian vac' detained near Widdin, bas been releafed by order of Passwaa Oo Lou, and her cargo of wree paid for.

In con. froudice, meafures have been taken to guard the front;tai, and very severe orders have been ilfund concerning Rrangers. TOol*ltit elta).o nra Prints . ' Bifhop eibilunfter occupies too njch of the pub lic attention for us to pars over,the details relative to this event, which may have lb rested an influ ence on the fate of Germany. The Hildefbeim Gazette of the sth of this month, had already an. nounced, that on the sd, the Count Of Wan? If A. Law had receive d orders from his Imperial Majelly to leave Hildefheim for Munger, to afilit there at the eletlion of a Prince iliThop, fixed for the 7th, as the Imperial Con3milrary, and that the Count had let off to fulfil his million.

The Court Gazette of the sth of September, lays, under the head of Germany, that the Chap ter )f Cologne have refolved to proceed at Arem berg in Weßphalia, to the elation of a pew Arcbbifbop, Eledor of Cologne. Although there letters differ in fome points, they all agree In making us believe that the Court of Vienna Is determined on giving a fuccefOr to Alp EleEtor of Cologne. NeveTthelefs, the Prufßati Minifler, M. Doe w, on quitting Mutifter, addref fed to the Chapter a proteßation againti the eke don. On his arrival at Hamhurgh, he fent off couriers to Berlin, Ratitbon, and Paris. A re port is fpread, that a corps of Pruffan cavalry has entered the Bifboprlck of Munger, BEENE, SEPT, lE.—Citizen VEININAC has not yet prefented his letters of credence to our Go vernment. They fpeak of important changes which will be made in the provitionaty Government before it is diffolvcd. Six companies of Helvetic troops have been fent to Lucerne, to pneferve tranquility at Stantz and its environs. We are affured that there troops have begun their march, againft the confent of the French Commanders. The Government Commiffary in the Canton of Tall) has obtained permiffion from the Cifalpine Government to export corn for Switzerland.— They fay it is to General Muswr that they are in debted for this favour. BERLIN, &PT. B.—M. HULTIIIII, who/a-sheen here fcr fome time as Charge d'Affaires of the Batavian Republic, has remained at Reinfberg, with his Royal Highnefs Prince Hussy.

WestL, Seer. 11..,-What has paired at MOD- Re: cannot but be attended with difagreeable con. fequences to that City. On the 9th, the Chapter, notwithftanding the declaration of M. de Douse and Citizen Baena', thought they had a right, after the arrival of M. WE STP H •LIN to elect the Prince VicroaAertiony, of Auftria , Bithop : the people proceeded in crowds to M. de Dome, and broke the windows of his hotel. His Excellency had a great difficulty in efciping to Ham, whence he fent off Couriers to Berlin, .‘tilboa, and Ge neral Kzsisv. Several detac hments . are pn their march to take polfeffion of Munger. We are alfo allured that the Canons of Cologne will proceed on the aoth Sept. to the nomination of an Archbifhop EleCtor, and that their choice will fall on the ArchdllkC ANTHONY. It mutt be acknowledged, that between thefe appointmeuts and the avowed fyftem of Indemnities, there is a peat contradiCtion, and a germ of dircord, which it will be difficult to remove. Haous, Barr. 4.—We are au*, and it is believed, that the Negotiations relative to the Prince of O; are finifhed. One of the con ditions flipulated in the Treaty is, that the Prince of ORANGE ( hall have Wurtzburih and Bamberg.

We yenerilay announced the arrival of dif patches from Egypt, but as part of our impreirioe was worked off before the contents were at all al lowed to tranfpire, we !hall briefly Rate all that has been made public. The difpatches were brought by Mr. Jo,' sow, a King's Meffenger, who came over in a Packet without any Mail, ;ad reached Yarmouth on Wed. nefday evening. He kft Conflantinople op the s6th of Aqua, with laws from the &id& Mi. nifisr there, inclofing others from the Commander in Chicf of our forces in Egypt. The abilrail of the intelligence was handed about in thelifinillerial cut le in•the evening, in the following lerw...=••••• EfILLETIN. 4 Ey letters Medved yeftarday, dated the 26th of Augult • kom the Earl of Et.ois, and General Huecirm sots, the ▪ sith July, it apitars that the immix: of the French army 4 which embarked at Rofetta, after the furrender of Cairo, eras SOCC. Our army was flekly„ but few had died; among the err imUfpofed were Generals HU TCIIII4IOII, ellA ODOM, and • DOT LI. GCOOrld Baum was expeaod at Cairo the brit • 'week in Auguit, with the firft dlvidan of die Indian army. • The troops from England had not arrived, but k was MUM CO proceed again* Alexandria. Me riou had reforest to ea " pitulate, though his any was in want of bread, flour, ed. " and wine. " MC. MOTZ, the Clunininkry General, we are ferry to leant, " Is dead. Porto.Ferrajo holds out. The troops were all embarked cm, " the Bth of dugult." From this it appears that no new military opera_ tion had taken placi up to the 25th of July. On the 25th General Hurcorrsor was near Cairo, and at the head of allooo Britith troops, exclu- five of the Indian army, but we fuppofe that the 20, coo coMprehends our whole force in Egypt.— The whole force of the French, to be fent to France in confequence of the convention at Cairo, is faid to be limo men, among which; donbtlefs, mutt be.; confiderahle body of natives. If they were all French, 1 4 4saoti would have had reafon to fap that the capitulation of Cairo was difgraceful. It is clear, however, that the number mull be right, as leuers from Marfeillas, in the Frakch papers, men. tion that 13,090 men, from Egypt, ware expeded there. Indeed it appears that form of the tranf ports had arrived. Twelve thoufand men capi. tulating certainly is very extraordinary eireuns. fiance, but there is much to be cleared up rcfpe&. ing the campaign in Egypt. The refufal of Msuou to capitulate is furprifing, after the piece-meal difailen of the french ii Egypt. He can do nothing in the field, and his chance of relief is very precarious. ' I%cl - ides it would require a new army to reflore the French affairs. Unfortunately, it appears that a court derable ficknefs prevails anon Dor troops. The Mellinger allb brings an account pf the capture of a French frigate. probably the &Kegs mentioned iq the 4.eghorn Letter. Indeed In fufpea it to be the fame capture which we an nounced in our Paper of the 9th inflant, but the firs flatement mentioned alfo the capture of fix tranfports bound for Portp-Ferrajo, not noticed in the prefent accounts. That aaive Admiral Sir J. B. Waeasr, after raifipg the liege of Porto-Ferrajo. has proceeded to blockade Toulon—almoft the only port the French have that is not already in that ante. On account of the fatigue attending fo long a journey from Weymouth in one day, we find that their Meissrus are to fieep at Andover on Thurfday next; and the whole lon has been en. gaged for their accommodation. We are lorry to learn that his Royal Highnefs the puke of Gtouc i asrta has been indiipofed, which has prevented his rifting their MAJ ESTI ES this year at Weymouth. A letter from Port Mahon, in Minorca, dated the Bth of July, has the following : His Excellency the jamatenant Gammar has received ac counts from Egypt, which lave caufed mach Mirth here, Several of our allege mad men ha Egypt have been attacked with the difQrder In the eyes from wilt* the French fawn! fo much Coon after their: landang in that country.

The fortifications of this place have been ocaldias• ttraigthenod, and we live upon the belt terns with the iav babitante It is certainly true that the Spaniards tize and condemn neutral velfcls going into Gibraltar, on the ground that Gibraltar is in a fate of blockade. In order to render their captures at all legal, therq should have been a previous notification. The Spaniards cannot, indeed, make a perfect bloc. kade of Gibraltar by fea, though from its fit"' tion on their own territories they can intercept the trade tp it. Their gun-boats irorn A'gefiras, &c. mull render the attempt to enter to a certain de gree dangerous, but whether it be that fort of dan ger which renders a blockade legal, may perhaps be difpnted. Yea• 4 4a_f_we Mei red New York Papers to the old ult. Their contents are of no importance. A fchooner with a n um b er of pa lengers from gourdeaus arrived at Cape Francois on the 6th of Augnit. The Captain brought out diatehes fpr Touissitiar l 'lnd wat feat tmmediately upon his arrival to the bode of General MOAT, the fecOod in Fp:mastic!, where he was detained with all his papers.

It was rent almoft cos* in two from top to bottom. Near the root it wag hollow, at which part it took fi r e, and blazed up for a bove twelve or fifteen feet through the filfure for is few minutes, when the eaftern part fell. The remainder extending over the road Rood in lb menacirr , an Ittitude, as to render it neccifary to cut it down. This remarkable tree Incafured 26 feet in circumference at the bare, was t ti feet in height, and its b ranc h es exten d e d io 6 feet in diameter. It is rather a fiugular coincidence, that the news of Astsotis's death arrived at Greenf burgh on the fame day on which the lightning deftroyed this tree. Itsideftrualon has occalioned general regret through the frurounding country. and its fragments have bees carefully colleOrde and prrierikl by the inhebitants. .r.--~- • , A - • M a fe tel th t M'l for CO Cry ufe cul LM the the tell flu; nto this an< for
