It would be a fort of phenomenon in politics
to fee the Turks at the head of a coalition, and
yet such a thing is likely to occur. The Ex-Ve

themselves neutral in this war, and with this view
have joined the Turks who have also avowed their
neutrality. The Turkish Ministry are even said
to have formed a plan of neutrality to which all

the Rdfonable, of 64 guns, was bearded off Goree, by a
Dutch Officer,who informed Capt. Hotham, that Gen.Mo
reau, and the greater part of the Army in the neighborhood
of Paris, had hoisted the Royal Standard, and dissolved the
Consular Government. Captain Hotham sent the Jackall
gun-brig off with the intelligence, and on Friday evening
returned himfelf to the Downs —The communication in
question was doubdefs made to Captain Hotham, And de
rived some degree of credit from the previous knowledge
of the Rate of p^ies, and of public opinion in France—
Should such an ev^RboweVer have taken place, it is Grange
that the account ffMuld 6rft have reached this country by
the circuitous route of Holland, or that General Moreau
Should allow public deport to anticipate tKe communication,

General Dumourier's visit and reception in this
country, is thus accounted for :—During the Amer
ican war that General Was Commandant, or lecond
in command ar Cterbury, when ah ihvafiohof this
country was a favourite object with the Govern
ment of France; and with others, Dumoutier was
ordered to digest and arrange such plans as he
throught most conducive to the accomplishment
of the intended enterprise. It so happened that
Dumourier's plans & communications were p'reler
ed,bUt the local affairs of France were fliortly after
wards deranged, and the project of courle abandon
ed. The papers, however,were placed in the Port
folio of the King; but in the effervefeence of rev
olutionary convulsion, thefe,with other State Papers
acre delivered into the War-Office, and there pre
served, Dumourier, not conceiving these plans had
leaped the fury of the multitude, gave himfelf no
oncern about them ; but having received private
nformation, when in Germany thu the King's
Port folio, and its contents, were in the possession
d Bonaparte and that he propofd to follow the
oftruaions laid down by the General refpe&ing the
I ivafion of England, Dumourier instantly wrote to

The Earl of Warwick has offered to fubferibe

The First Consul then proceeded in the midst
of the brilliant proceflion through the fine allty,
bordering upon the canal to the found of mili
tary music. The evening was serene, and the
last rays of the fun was reflected from the furface
of the canal. All the furrbunding houses of the
rmerchants were filled with ffedators. A bat k
;filled with muticians failed along with the procellion
and was accompanied by boats adorned with col
ours. The scene was delighful, and nothing inter
rupted ffie harmony,except the founds of the artillery
and the repeated cries of “ Long live Bonaparte.''
In this order the First Consul arrived at the dock
yard. All the workmen were there colleded and la
b >ring with ardour on the confirudion a flat bottom

responded to a band of musicians placed over the

We have in our possession, fubje& to theinvefti

deposition of the wood, which was covered by three
different strata of considerable thickness—the lirft

determine how long this wood must have lain be

French bills.
Letters received at Philadelphia from Havre, to
the 14th Aug. contain the following intelligence :
—' 'lt appears by these that a large amount in Bills
of the French Agents in the Weft-Indies on the
First Consul, have been presented, and airnofl w th°
out exception, refufed payment. The plea for this
is of a nature insuperably to prevent recovery, in
many cases :—-to wi r ,that the Bills are not accord
ponied with documents to prove the reality of the
contrad, or the adbal value of the article fold. Id
mod instances, this objection may amount to a to
tal annihilation of the claim.—Bills have been fold
in Paris at 60 per cent difeount. In order to avoid
this difficulty,it is said, that in future, ail Bills tu be
drawn in the Colonies, will firft be regiflered by the
Minister of Finance at Paris ; yet it is apprehended;
that in a litre time the fame vexation, delays and c
vafions will be created, by an equally unjust pretext
on the part of the French government, who evince
no difpofitiori for equity. Holders of Bills of this
description are advised to pocure every neceffar,
voucher, and to forward them without delay."
The fame letters add; that orders h^d been sent to
the Colonies, commanding the Agents who i'dted
these doubtful Bills to return home; 'and arrange
their accounts, so that claims may be placed in a
train of settlement.

the name of Pine Swamp, it was necessary, in
order to give the road its intended regularity, to

doing this, the weight of gravel broke through
the upper fibrous stratum, which covered a bed
