CT^HE Shriber, contemplating the
I(troubles and difficulties which be
has bad for many years to encounter
with a parent, deprived of his rational
senses, and incapable of taking care es
himfelf, conGders his former trouble very
trifling when compared with his prefect
affiaions. With painful regret, he is
conftratoed to make known, that he has
been in pursuit of his wandering father,
(Zebediah Farnum, between 85 and 90
years of age) for more than a week, and
can find nothing of him. -He came into
the town street abbot 15 days ago,
tailed at federal boufes, was heard upon
Concord Bridge at alate hour one even
ing, and fame imagine they fair iris foot
fteps which 'ed to the rivers As no
knowledge of him is yet obtained, it is
to be feared, that his body is loft in the
water, or otherwise periihed by the in
clemency of the weather. Should spy
person difeover said Zebediah, or hto
remains, it is sincerely hoped that the
^information will be communicated to a
disconsolate foa.

The Declaration of War by the Otto
man Porte against the French Republic
is a most important event in the present
convol fed fta.te of Europe. It opens a
new field for speculation on the probable
confcqueuces of the revolutionary system.
The Turk is involved in it, and fatally
for himfelf, perhaps, has invited his worst
enemy to pro ed him from his old friend.
The French endeavored in vain to re
concile the Porte to the meditated de
scent upon Egypt. All their declarations
of friendship were unavailing, and the
minister of the Grand Seignor, at St.
Peterfburgh, was directed to apply to the
Emperor iothe threatened crifig; and to
express. a hope, that if the Ottoman force
fhonld be removed from guarding the
Ruffian frontier, in order to repel the un
provoked aggression of the French, no
advantage would be taken of theirabfence
rby that Court., To this application the
Emperor is said to have replied by his
tainifter, not only that no advantage
should be taken of 0 exertion thatought
to be conferred by every Sovereign
Power as an effort far common defence :
but that so perfe&ly did he enter into the
feelings of the Grand Seignor that a
fleet of (hips, sad a body of 60,0c0 men,
should be at the command of the Sublime
Porte, on the mere condition of their
maintainance while in the Turkish fer
vice. It Is added, that P^l having
pledged his royal wflrd, which in no in
ftancehas been forfeited, the Divan was
Induced to conclude a fub6di*ry treaty,

The Director, already anticipate the
probable conferences of the defeat. In a
message addressed by them to the Coun

require, under pretence of the delays at
Raftadt, and the necessity of preparation
in the event of the recommencement of
hoftiliries, a Levf of Two Hundred
Thousand men to be immediately must

measure. that instead of attending to the
cuftom,ry forms of raising troops, the
Council decreed gift every Frenchman,

twenty, was in a state of requisition, and
liable to be immediately called into ser
