PARIS, APRIL go.
THE late insult offered
the French Ambassa
dor, at Vienna, has occasioned
much agitation. The Em
peror disclaims and punishes
it. The Directory are as yet
ffilcnt. Gen. Buonaparte's
departure for Toulon is re
•tarded by it; and he is now
find to be going to Raftadt,
to cut the grdian knot of ne
gotiation. Bernadette,. (the
Ambassador to Vienna) is al
ready there. He had a warm
altercation with the Archduke
Charles, and the latter has
been ordered to withdraw
from Vienna in consequence.
The troubles of Switzer

.London, May 2.
Seven hundred and eighty
; gun boats to carry 100 men,
one gun, and to draw only
18 inches water, are building
between Calais and the Tex
fl.
It is said, that Jean Bon St.
% Andre, the French Resident
at Algiers, has been decapi
tated by order of the Dey.
If so, his Deyfhip may re
ceive a fraternal visit from the
Egyptian preparation at Tou
lon.
Another Treaty.
On the Bth ult. a treaty of
offenfive and defenfive alli
ance, was signed at Raftadt
between the Emperor and
Prussia.—While some forefee
in this measure the germ of
; another coalition against Fra.
others assert, that its only job
jea is to fettle indemnities,
and to oppose withal their
force the propagation of Re
publican principles on the
right bank of the Rhine, and
in Germany.
The expedition fitting out
at Toulon, will be 24,000
strong. Immense quantities
of husbandry tools are on
board ; and the object is still
said to be, a canal from the
Mediterranean to the Red
Sea, as a mean of deftro, ing 4

Letters from Stetin, d^ll
the 13th April, state, traty
great difeontents /prevail at
Moscow, and at Petefburgh ;
that the new system adopted
by Pual, and still more his
follies, have turned many
people against him. His rid
iculous fumptuary laws, and
the ftrianefs with which they
are executed, have occaftoned
many foreigners of all nations
to quit Russia.

American Cockade.
We are pleased with the patriotifid
evinced by our American Ladies and
Gentlemen, in wearing the black round
Cockade; as the true American badge.
No white ab^ut it. —We believe every
person of refpr&6i!ity, from Newhamp
(hire to Georgia, who profeffes an attach
ment to the Constitution and Govern
ment of the U. S. has already put on, dr
is preparing 40 modpt the American
Cockade. The ladies place this badge
on the left shoulder. It is hoped our
Patriots in Concord and the adjacent
town ih general, will follow this tederai
example. Few in this town have already
put them 00.
The Members of Congrefa have
mounted the American Cockade.

For the most essential part ot this intelli

from which we derive our latest news—

Attention!
IWHEREAS a certain un-
I VV ruly fellow by the name of Joseph
I Eaton, alias the Runaway, who once
I pretended to be my affectionate and lov
ling husband, has lately advertised me in
1 the Mirror newspaper, wherein he' an*
I nounces, that I have threatened to inn
I him through with weapons of defence
r and while he was absent had left his bed
I and board.- The accufatiou I deny
IMW e s my offering to abuse him,
t (which modest delicacy would dictate to
I be otherwise) his petrify ungovernable
I temper; fyrpaffing all reason and ration-
I alify; has caused him to threaten my life ;
I and the reason of my leaving his bed and
I board, was because his inhospitable pa-
I rents had treated me in a fhameful and
I ridiculous manner, and unjuftifiably turc
I g me out of doors. Although the pa
tents of the said Moses, and his malicious
I brother Joseph, have done their utmost
to injure me, I do not, in any shape
whatever, confider myfelf obligated to
them for their unwarrantable abuse— vet
think they are juftty (ironically freaking)
entitled to what they withhold from me,
for their manifold exertions and trouble
in faring it/ n #
l lf any man or woman, think proper
Ito troftihe aforefaid Moses Eaton, they
will do it entirely at their own rife, a >l
am determined to pay none of his debts,
