Tippoo can with case
bring an army of 200,000
Well disciplined men into
the field. His foldiet's (Se
poys) are equal to any Eu
ropeans in that country,
who are soon after their ar
rival enervated by the cli
mate. He is dreaded by
the English, and is their
mortal and declared ene
my. He is a prince of
known courage & address,
and very powerful. His
avowed plan is to drive the
usurpers (as he justly calls
the English) from the In
dian territory altogether-—
and he has been once near
affecting it, and may do it
again. His supply ofFrench
officers is a most valuable
acquisition, and what he
most needed; they were
undoubtedly sent by the
Exec. Directory of France.
Indeed this business was al
ways a favorite contempla
tion of that government ;
but which the revolution
for a time prevented.
Gen. Dundas has arrived:
at the Cape, to fupeicede
Gen. Craig in the com
mand of the garrison atthat
place. L®rd Macarney was
expected daily. Gen. Craig
had received an appoints
ment in India, and. was to
go on there immediately;
after Lord Macartney's ar-I
rival. This circumflance|
is joyous to the inhabitants'
of the Cape, and auspicious
to the Americans who may
arrive there. Gen. Craig/
treated them with ineffa
ble contempt, whenever
they solicited the least in
dulgence. When they en
,ercd his apartment he as
sumed the air and dignity
of a Nabob, ftrutte'd like a
conceited player as soon as
their prayers were 'made
known, damned the Ame
rican flag, and invoked the
vengeance of heaven on
their cursed heads. This
redoubtable Gen. was an
officer in America during
the war, and was compell
ed to be present at York
town when Cornwallis re
aligned his sword to the iL
fluihious Washington.----- I
[Scotchmen have good me-;

! who is a complete gentle-I
/man, (the very reverse of;
[Craig) and under whose!
government they had no,
I doubt of renewing their!
former trade & intercourse
with the Americans.
The late Admiral Lucas,
whose heroism cannot now„

[We have seen a letter from
the interior of Germany, to
a German native in this
town, which paints in the
most gloomy colours the
devastations made by the
French in Suabia, Franco
nia and Bavaria; and re
cites a series of barbarities
and outrages which almost
defy credibility. The pea
santry are almost every
where ruined, their houses
burnt, and their plantations
laid waste. We should have
given no credit to the a

Paris paper complaints of a
similar nature; which the

# THE intelligence from the army of
[ltaly is very important. The cur
§ rent of vidory, it is with concern we
I' remark, continues its rapid course Lt
a foorable direfflon to the French
cause. After the defeat of the Im
perial Field Marthal Airiozy, Buon
aparte proceeded to attack the army
of Gen. Davidovich, which had fore
led the French lines that covered the
;blockade of Manama, and advanced
as far as Caftlenovo. On the 21st
ult. he came up with this division,
which he so vigorously attacked, that
in a short time the Austrians retreat
ed with precipitation in ever, direc.
tfon, and were closely pursued the
whole of the night by the enemy a
bove the Corona, and along the A
dige. The rear-guard of the impe
ri^ifts fuffered very severely. Eleven
hundred prisoners, among whom was
Col. Count de Lherbach, 4 pieces of
cannon, and 6 caissons, fell into the
hands of the French. This victory
is the more entitled to serious atten
tion, as it serves to confirm Buona
parte's account of the defeat of Field
Marshal Alvinzy, which most have
been a very decisive nature indeed, to
have enabled the French General to
march uninterrupted, to the attack
of the other Austrian army, the co
operation of which it was the grand
object of the Field Marshal to obtain.
Buonaparte's account has not yet
been published. The above is from
Bertheir, whose details have, on eve
ry occasion, been found to be writ
ten with much attention to accuracy
and truth.
The capture of Mantua was re
ported at Paris on the ,h iuft. but
;the rumor obtained no credit.
Gen. Vaubois has been suspended
by Buonaparte. He did not execute
his orders, and thus caused part of
his plan to fail.

Nov. 28. A smart adion took place
near Kehl. The particulars not de

night. /
^HE NEGOTIATION /
Is thought to be in a good train—
the Paris Editors are severe on De la
I Croix, for his diplomatic “ dryness
I and severity," and his dilatorinels in
agreeing to a principle, which he had
acceded to at last without any frefh
inducement. Dec. 3. Dispatches ar
rived in London from Lord Malmef

were sent by Mr. Ellis, to that Min

PREPARATION
Continues. The new loan is an im

of troops was getting ready at Spit
