Some doubt has been attempted to be thrown
upon the Telegraphic account ot Su warrow's total
defeat, because no official communication to the
Councils appears in the Paris papers ot the i&h—
The faCt is, that it arrived the evening before,
when the Councils were not fitting.
, SUWARROW hoped to reach Switzerland time
enough to make a combined attack with Hotze
and Korfakow. He seems to have fuppoled, that
Maflena would remain inactive, and probably he
Was ignorant that the Archduke had proceeded
too tar with his force to be able to be ot any aflift
ance to the troops id Switzerland. Maffenna ap
pears to have seized, with conliderable prompti
tude and (kill, the favourable opportunity when
the force of the Allies was divided. The heavy
rains and consequent bad date of the roads are
laid to have been one of the reasons why Suwarrow
did not reach Switzerland till after Hotze's defeat
He could carry with him no heavy artillery, it is
not mentioned in the Telegraphic dispatch where
he was defeated, nor whether, nor to what place,
he has effected his retreat.—The battle probably
was fought a little to the southward of Altorff.
Suwarrow may retire into the Grifons behind
Coire, or to the frontiers of the Tryol.
The Archduke Joseph, having under him Gen.
Kray, has taken the command of the Antirian
Army, to which henceforth is entrulted the de
fence of Italy re-conquered.—Nothing very im
portant had taken place there at the date of the
znoft recent dispatches, which is the 22d of Sep
tember. The French had taken possession of Novi
but were repaired from it with loss ; they were
created in the fame manner near Stifa, whence
they have been driven.
The Spanish Minister has completed his degra
- Nation and infamy, by causing the French Royal

and delivered up to the Republican Councils.

3d of this month : they were about eight hundred
in number. It mult be allowed that they have a
very bad appearance. They were ill clothed and
very dirty. The greater part march barefooted,
and without caps or hats ; their heads are entirely
bare. It appears that they fought well, for almost
all of them had wounds in the face. The whole
town went to meet them. They were escorted
as tar as Huninguen by the Gendarnr*, and by de
tachments of light infantry and chalfeurs. The
Ruffian officers marched firft, among them was the
son of the commander in chief. I hey were fol
lowed by white hussars, men of large Nature, gren

*, On Wednesday evening laji, put in here the
flip Sally, capt. Patternon, from Bremen, bound to
Calebs. In this veflel came pajenger, Mr. Myers,
who left Bremen the 16th Oct. From the conver
sation I had with Mr. M. who appears to be a gen
tleman of considerable information, I am authoriz
ed tofate in general ; that at the time of his leaving
Bremen, it was the general opinion there, that the
Expedition to Holland mould not prove JucceSfal ;
and that the Duke of York would finally be obliged
to re-embark. his troops for Holland: what firength
ened this opinion, was, that the transports wrick
bro't the troops over, were fill lying in Holland. —
The English had been much disappointed in not be
ino joined by the inhabitants, (a circumfiance upon
which they calculated much) and by the determined
opposition they had met with :—The EngliJh have
not been able to obtain any Supplies from the coun
try for theJuftenance of their troops, but have been
obliged to fend transports to Bremen and Hamburg
for this purpose ; Jevdral of thefe.tran) ports, load
ing with provisions, were in grerien when Mr. M.
left that place. Mr. BE confirms the accounts
already published, of the cruelties ter^ifed by the
Anglo-Ritflians—no age or feet is spared.fpared. Accounts
had been received at Bremen from Am/lerdam, to
Buonaparte, member of the institute, commanderin
chief, to the Executive Directory.
Headquarters at Alexandria, to Thermidor,
July xß„th year of the Republic.
I announced to you by my dispatches ot the 21st
Floreal lad, May 20, that the time appointed for
the disembarkation had determined me to quit Sy
ria. The disembarkation took place indeed on
the 23d Mellidor, July it. A hundred fail, a great
part of which were ships of war, appeared before
Alexandria. The enemy landed on the 24th at
Aboukir, with their artillery, and took pofleffion
with'greatintrepiditv of the fort of Aboukir.—
They covered the right of their army by the sea,
and their left by the Lake of Mahie. I departed
from my camp near the Pyramids on the 27th, ar
rived on ffie 19th of July at Romanihe, and march
ed against Bereatb. On the 7th, at fix in the
morning, I was in light of the enemy. Gen. Mu
rat commanded the advanced guard. I caused the
right to be attacked by Gen. Lafne, who com
manded the left. Gen. Lafne supported the ad
vanced-guard. The two hoiiile columns were
separated by a beautiful plain, and our cavalry
found means to cut them off entirely from each 0-
ther. The right column had no other way of fafe
ty than by throwing themselves into the sea, in or
der to get to their boats, which were lying at the
distance of three quarters of a league from the
more. All those who composed it were drown
ed. It was the molt horrid fpeCtacle 1 ever be
held. I then attacked the second column, which
was protected by a village, a redoubt, and strong
intrenchments/and flanked by nearly 30 gun boats,
Gen. Murat forced the village. Geu. Lafne and
Feuciers attacked the redoubts, and the cavalry
completed their defeat. We made a dreadful
daughter of the enemy. The chief of the 6,th de
mi-brigade, and Bernard, Captain of grenadiers,
have covered- themselves with glory. Those who
were not mowed down by the sword, threw them
felvcs into the water and were all drowned. 1
then caused the Fort of Aboukir to be invelled,
where the refer*e wab, and in which the molt ac
tive of the fugitives had taken Ihelter. To spare
the effufion of blood, 1 caused fix mortars to be
brought in order to bombard the fort.
The Chore, which the preceding year was cover
ed with the bodies of the French and English who
perished at Aboukir, ^vas firewed with more than
6000 of the enemy. Not a man of this army shall
escape when I have taken the Tort, which will
loon be the case.
Two hundred standards, all the baggage, forty
field-pieces, Elis, the Pacha ot Natolia, command
er in chief of this army, and the coulin of the
Turkish Ambaflidpr at Paris, and all his officers,
are in our hands. We had one hundred men kill
ed,and five hundred wounded. Among the form
er are Adjutants Gen. Lecare, Duvivier, Cretin,
and my Aid-de-camp.Gulbert.— Ihe two former
were excellent officers of cavalry, the third was
the best officer of engineers, a body who contri
bute so much to the success of battles, and where
the least fault may be attended with the molt fatal
consequences. 1 had great friendfhip for the 4th.
Gen. Murat, Feuciers, and Moranjie, have been
wounded./
The success of this battle, which will have so
much influence ou the dellioy of the republic, was
principally owing to the general of brigade, Mu
rat. I beg you will confer on him the rank of
GeneraTof division. General Beyfliere,at the head
of tlie guides, maintained the reputation of his
corps.„

about the 10th Oct—had killed and wounded a
great number, and taken upwards of one thou

French Republic was well disposed to the Unit

into ^Orient have lately been refored.
'The French were fending reinforcements to

they were determined to defend at all hazards. Su

we suppose, to make one more powerful effort.

discussing political quefiions was so great, that it
may be prophesied; the period is notfar diflant,when
the rays of Liberty will burjlfo»h upon those en-

Ma, it please jour Excellency,
AS the Reprefentativea of a free and independent people, fc
teded from all parts of the State, we are again alfembled for the
purposes pointed out in our Constitution of Government ; and
with great plealure we Shall attend to the remedying of existing
grievances, if any, and to the enacting such laws, as th all be con
sidered necessary for promoting the common good and happiness
of our fellow citizens. And we Sincerely reciprocate with you the
high Satisfaction we enjoy, in coqteniplating the prosperity, tran
quility and love of order so fully manifested by them.
The subjects recommended by your Excellency to the consi
deration of the Legislature, particularly those relative to the ten
ure of certain officer#, and the Statute of limitations, will meet our
early and candid attention.
To have efeaped all the evils which arise from a State of war,
while so many powerful nations are involved in all its horrors,
was an event Scarcely to have been expected ; and though various
means have been used to involve our country in European con
tests, we liave great reason to rejoice, that through the wisdom,
vigilance and tirmnefs of our national administration, this has hi
therto been prevented.

Gen. JAMES JACKSON, Governor of that Ikue

The following it taken from his Address to. the Le
•giflatuie the 14th inf.
<< By the bleliing of Providence we have hither
to escaped the necessity of a formal war ; although
our commerce has experienced the depredations,
and our citizens and niarmers,all the prosecutions,
iilfults and cruelties, incident to a real war. This,
although disavowed by the hostile governments,
appears to have been permitted by the immediate
officers and agents under their jurifaittion ; and it
would take a volume to relate all the injuries A
merica has received from the Britifli, as well as
the French nations—for the former, however,there
While the sentiments of the people of this State, so often ex
pressed by their Reprcfentatives relative to the conduct of the
rulers of the French nation continue tlx fame, we notyithfland
ing note with fatisfaftion, that the President of the United States
has made a further attempt to the adjustment of exiting difficul
ties with them. Peace consistent with honor, is so invaluable a
blessing, as to be ardently detired by every good citizen ; and we
do not hesitate to lay, that our national honor is placed, where it
will not be sullied, and that the purelt motives in the Pretidenc of
the United States have directed this measure, and that our confi
dence in him is not in the Icalt degree diminished. While we en
joy the privilege of examining the conduct of our rulers, we |hdl
contider it an incumbent duty so to do, but to harbor ill founded
fyfpicions and jealouties, is unworthy the character of freemen.
The fatisfaction expressed by your Excellency in contemplat
ingthe ttrong attachment of your fellow-citizens to the national
government, is a sentiment in which we heartily participate : and
we flatter ourfclves that our affection thereto, will be constantly
increasing, and that every injurious attempt to deflea it, will be
repel led with indignity.
To difeharge with faithfulnefs the many duties of Legislators
and Magistrates, is a talk truly arduous ; but to give dignity and
luftre to their characters, the powerful influence of examp e Ihould
never be wanting. We anticipate with pleasure your Excellency's
hearty co-operation with us, in adopting such measures as (hall
tend to promote the prosperity, and advance the happiness .1 our
common country.
While with "open arms we have offered our country as an
afvlum to foreigners, we doubt not but that we have received in
to our embraces, many who were enemies to our peace . and the
facility by which they have acquired the rights of citizens, may
have induced feme to believe that our country might be injured
with impunity; but notwithstanding this evil, which originated
from the purest motives of philanthropy and benevolence, we
trust that our warmelt affections will not be withdrawn from the
support of a government, which has so highly exalted out country
in name, wealth and reputation.

is no exetife; To preserve fact with that £6
ernment, the United States forbore reprisals, £

would have been warranted by evtry law, bulled
and divine, and by their justice and clemency, <e
cafioned a difgreement y ith an Ally h>^hom the,
were bound by the strictest ties of former friends
fhip= But the United States did nbe flop here ; -
when they could bear the attacks of Britain on
their commerce no, longer, the olive branch was
sent with the demand of reparation of injuries, to
the court of London, and a treaty Wai formed be
tu een Mr. Jay and Lord Grenville, in my opinion
every way favorable to Britain; by which, aS one
article to catch the American favour, teftttutiou
was to have been made, for our citizens lodes, by
British spoliations. —But it is now averted, and
some official notices tan&ion it, that either to e
vade the reflitution of our captured property, or
to operate as an equivalent or sett off for it, that
immense claims of millions have been fliowered in
on our commissioners ; the demands of inveterate
old tortes and traitors to the United States, tor loss
es by the war which they themselves carried on ;
and for old debts, s hich molt 01 t,ofe who relid
ed in the southern states actually recovered during
the time those states were in possession, of the Brit
dh, or took property to double the amount, by
force from the plantation of their debtors. It is
also rumoured that the commissioners have broken
up ; this, if true, places our citizens in the fame
situation of redress which they were in, precious
to the treaty ; while the courts of the U. States
are actually open for those people, and judgments
have been given in their favor in this date for pro
perty fold under the confifeation alls of Georgi:?.
Believe not, whild I fay this, that I with to gloss
over the conduft of the Ftench nation—their de
predations bn us, have been cruelly unjust as re
spected a neutral nation, and impolitic in the ex
treme, as refpetling the connexions existing be
tween the two republics—they have alnioit total
ly efiranged the affections of a people, who fought
and conquered with them in the revolutionary
war, and who were the foremoit to acknowledge
their republic ; and it will not be until the molt
convincing proofs are given of integrity towards
us, that those affections can ever be regained.——-
We have to hope, however, that these proofs will
be received by our national government, as a seri
ous idea of amicable negociation, must have been
entertained by the French Directory, from their
advances to Mr. Murray, our minister to the Ba
tavian republic, and the consequent nomination of
envoys to France by our general executive. That
peace may be the fruit of negociation with that
nation, and that we may hill be able to preserve
it with every other nation, ought to be the prayer
of every American.

The notorious barbarity of the British soldier,
has not has not had a very exteulive field to dis
play itfelf in Holland, but small as the progress
has been which they have made in this country,
yet it is marked with the blood of the inoffensive
inhabitants, and has been accompanied by the
most attrocious crimes.
From the Baltimore Federal Gazette <f Dec. 2,
A member of Congress from Norfolk, on his
journey to the feat ot government, mentioned in
this city on Saturday lalt, the arrival of a capt.
Young at Norfolk, from Jamaica, who reported
that the treaty between Touflaint and the Britifli
government was formally annulled by a procla
mation of lord Balcarr^s, the govenof of Jamaica,
in conference of repeated violations on the pare
of Touflaint; arid that the capture of all veflels
trading to St. Domingo without discrimination,
wasauthorifed by the laid proclamation.
In consequence of the above 11 American vessels
have recently been carried into Jamaica for adju
dication^
The horrid treatment which the Dutch receiv
ed from their jefuitical friends the Britifli, prior
to their expulsion, from Holland by the victori
ous republicans, has never been forgotten by the
inhabitants. Again have they entered that coun
try in conjunction with the half civilized Ruf
fians, and a virtuous emulation will perhaps exist
between the two nations, which of them shall ex
ceed in murdering, robbing and other^vife mal
treating the unfortunate Batavians. Happily for
them, the vile Haves are confined to limits which
they could not, nor will not, we hope extend.
The narratives which the Dutch papers contain
of the conduct of the British and Ruffians, on the
19th September, in the villages of which they hud
obtained a temporary possession, Ihock the feelings
of all who deled the commission of such crimes, or
abhor such cruel barbarism.
A bill of manslaughter, has been found against
Gen. Hill, in New-Jersey, for killing a Mr. Al-
BERTS(SN, as sometime iince related.
Tliefe blood flained scenes, tliefe cruel tragedies
proclaim to the World, that Britain, as a nation,
is a foe to the happiness and welfare of mankind,
Ever intriguing, ever blowing up the dying em
bers of ammolity between other nations, , she glo
ries in the difeord the creates, and redoubles her
flagitious industry to continue it.

from the fame fource.j Let us take cate left the di
abolical agents of that power, may not be at pre
sent busy in endeavouring to disturb the peace and
tranquility of ours. Ite British government have
