" Citizen General,
" The Directory have com
manded me to take possession
of the town of Solethurn, and
if I experience the least re
finance, and one drop of
french blood is (pitted, the
heads of the members of the
government of Solethurn will
have to answer for it. If you
mean to comply with the will
of the Diieaory, you will o
pen your gates to the repub.
lican troops. I give you half
an hour to confider of the
step you will take. After
that time I flball set fire to the
town, and take possession by
force. ~

From this and oth^ circum

cluded that the bold, and im
portant attack on the coast of
England will take place early
in Aprils It is now certain,
beyond an, doubt, that the
appointment of Buonaparte
to the Congress of Raftadt

the Britishgovernment with
a ,belief that this enterprising

HARTFORD, MAY 14.
'Alarming !
Extras of a letter from a gentleman in Phi
laddpbia, to bit friend tn tbu city, dat<d
May 10. .
" At report# may exagerate the
events of yesterday and lift night,
and excite an uaneceffary degree
of alarm, I will endeavor to give
you the best account of them which
my information, and what 1 law
will enable me. £
" You have heard that several
^tettera have been ihrofa into the
,PrefidenJi house within a few
weeks past, intimating intentions
to set fire to the city, and plunder
it on the day of the NationaLFaft ;
and other violences have been
threatened. The National Cock
ade of France has been long, and
latterly more especially, considered
as a badge of an open avowed at
tachment to that country ; and
the black Cockade, which is the
American, that of attachment to
our own country and government ;
and has been chiefly worn by the
young citizens who so handsomely
addressed the Piefideat a few da^s
since.
16 Yefterdfy afternoon,, after
Service, about 40 young men ina
body, wearing the French cock
ade, made large and fiourifhing,
came down the streets from the
Northern Liberties, and wed t di
redly to the President's house;
where they were observed to be
loitering about, and teemed to have
no particular o^jed. They soon
abraded the public attention, and
a crowd of people assembled about
chem. A Migiftra^e tame and
inquired of them their bufioefs,
and receiving an evasive reply, he
desired them to go away, they an
fwered it was a land of liberty, and
they (hould go where they pleated.
Very soon they came to blows with;
the people about them, who in
obeifsoce to the Magistrate, at
/ tempted to seize some of them.—
One of the rioters was apprehend
ed and sent to foil $ aod the rest
had their three coloured cockade#
: palled out of their hats, and ftaw-;
hid ihey'fxp&d fe^ta&fll
of butchers, and carpenters from
the Northern Liberties, Spring
Gardens; and Kenfingtoo, every
moment to join them, and toed
they would pullout all the black
cockades.—The citizens flew to
arms, and the villains were dispers
ed. Several ether fquzdi of fel
lows with French cock,des, were
observed in different parti of the
city, which merited the alarm;
but no further difturbaoce took
place. A large body of horse pa
raded in front of the Present's
house all the evening ; and avast
number of citizen, affiled.—
Several bodies of volunteeri, horse
and foot, petroled the Greets all
night. A ftrici look out is kept
tavern, and it improbable the
next appearance of the French
cockade in the hats of Americans
wil not pah over so quietly.
" The citizens discover a noble
foheitude for the fafety of the Be
fident, and the support of the gov
ernment. There are a great many
Frenchmen in and about the city,
and with the aftiftance of such of
our own people as are attached to
France, aod may be deluded into
violent mtafurei, might very much
disturb the public peace ; but we
hope nothing disagreeable will a
gain happen.
"I ought to add that it it be
lieved, beyond a doubt, that this
was an attempt set on foot by per
lons out of fight, to fee what could
be done, how great a force they
could rai^, and how vigorously
the friends of government would
meet and oppole them ; and had
not a very spirited jnd powerful
oppofirion been made immediate
ly, it is believed the confequeoces
would have been diUflerous in*
deed."

direded him to take aim and fire, he re-]
I ceived the contents i no his head, which |
'lnftantaneoufly put an end to his exist

while W. was on the opposite fide; miffed

railed his gun, fired at the Deer, killed
it, and immediately afterwards fell him

ceiving the wound. ^.
