CT Peace between Portugal and
France has been concluded ; terms of
which, the latter is to receive a heavy
sum of money ; which it is said is to
be applied to the payment of the divi
dends due to the public creditors. The
garrisons of Portugal are to be manned
with French troops.
$, The negociation for Peace be
tween England and France, was in
great a&ivity.
rs A new war has commenced in
Indoftan ; and the Mysore and Bombay
armies have moved against the Cottiote
Rajah. From appearances the contest
will not be of long duration, and must,
fays the London Observer, ultimately
tend to the extension of the English
empire in India, now too firmly eltab
lifhed to be seriously affe&ed by the im
potent gusts of passion which so fre
quently agitate that hemisphere.
By the next arrivals from Europe,
we exped to receive official intelligence
of the capitulation of Alexandria ; and
of the intire loss to Bonaparte of his fa
vorite Colony of Egypt. —We think the
native Egyptians will be gainers in the
event ; and that this fertile, though
long nedefted portion of the globe,
will reaflume its importance in the esti
mation of the world.
FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE.

—— o-
On Tuefday last the First Battalion
of the First Regiment under the com
mand of Major SETH WALKER
turned out for infpe&ion of arms. The
fix companies in this town under com
mand of Captains Long, Sparhawk,
and Cutter, uniformed ;' and G.
Walker, MEtcHRER,and Leighton,
ununiformed, muttered at 10 o'clock,
and marched on to the plains, where
they were joined byCapt. Pickering's
company from Newington, and after
the review, a few sham skirmishes took
place, which.were effected with a ra
pidity, ease, and exadnefs that would
have done credit to troops who had re
ceived more advantages than these.—
At fix o'clock the companies filed off
for their various homes.

WHAT punifbment is equal to the de
fats of that man, nvlsocan know bis own
child is wafting down rocith a confum.ptiou,
and who abjlinately refufes her one atom of
nourishment — What punishment is due to
that man who refufes this fame child fuffi
cient room to lay its] corpse after death —
Nature shudders at the thought!
To the Writer in the las Republican Ledg
er, who files himfelf a " Friend to
Good Government."
IT is not Sir, very probable, that
the Citizen will condescend to take any
further notice of you or your produc
tions ; and we in defeending to make
the least observation upon yours in the
last Ledger, humble ourselves exceed
ingly. There is but little of it we (hall
pay any attention to, as it is altogeth
er undeserving of the time, especially,
as you neither hear reason n6r give it.
You observe, that although the Citi
zenacknowledges the right of the house
to impeach,and the Senate to try ; yet
" he with corifummate arrogance, &c."
But in case of high crimes and misde
meanors, such for instance, as you al
ledge against the Citizen, is it not
the foie province of the grand jury to
charge by bill of indi&ment,and the sole
right of the judiciary department in
conjudion with a jury to try the per
son thus indited ? This you cannot
fir, possibly deny. .Why then, do
you judge and condemn ? You certain
ly have the Citizen,- ip the fulleft man
ner, and after doing it,violently exclaim,
" What consummate arrogance and
so lly in me, A friend to good Government,
yet ignorant and uninformed, to as
sume both the right of judging and
condemning ! !"'
Thus Sir, after treating with the
greatest opprobrium the best of char
a&ers, stigmatizing a worthy writer
in this paper with the infamous names
of traitor, malignant defamer, libeller,
you like a person whose conscience
goads him with a sense of guilt, turn
your weapons upon your own breast,
confeffing yourfelf, although Afriend to
good Government, consummately arro
gant, foolifh; and affirming. Thus
Sir, we leave you divided against your
felf, which we consider as a sure omen,
that your kingdom cannot stand.
^We have to apologize to our readers for
presenting them the 3d No. of" The Virginian,

laid: we promise it in our next.
