My Lord, we have been very, fuccefsful yester
day. The right wing of the army, commanded
by Gen. Elfnitz, "ho was on Monte Carro, at
tacks! the enemy at Mnchiodelle Pierre, and
succeeded so well, that at nine o'clock in the
morning victory had declared in his favor. The
general of division Gravier, witha great number
of officers, and fifteen hundred non comrtiiffioned
officers and privates, were made prisoners.
The right of the enemy, informed of the defeat
of its left; did not delay retreating from Capo di
Berta. We have pursued him beyond Port Mau.

have been taken from him along the coaks. Our
loss has not been considerable ; but I regret the

My Lord,
I have the greatest fotisfaßiou irt informing
your lordship that the intelligence which has ar
rived here of the further operations of the Aus
trians in the Riviere is highly favorable and im
portant. Two days ago advice whs received of A
fttccefstul attack of the Col di Tende on the 6th,
which important poll was carried by the bayonet,
and the enemy was driven beyond Saorgio anti
Breglio, with the loss of four pieces of cannori.
This affair made only a part of the plan,of gene
ral attack, 'and was connected with the operations
of the red of the army in all the intermediate po
firions down to the sea (hore ; the result of these
attacks is,that the enemy being forced and driven
from the portions of St. Esprit and in every quar.
tor, :vas retreating towards Niece. In the offi
fficiol relation of these affairs' which has been
poblifhed here it is said that the British veliels
which pursued the enemy on the coatt contribut
e| greatly to accelerate their flight; YeGerday
morning official intelligence arrived hete from the
he id quarters at Oneglia, the 7th, of the enemy
having been again attacked that morning, and
cOTpletely defeated, with the loss of 1500 prison
ers, 40 officers, and the Gen. of Division, Gravire,
and 15 pieces of cannon. . The Andrian General,
Erentano, is said to be mortally wounded. In
confeqnence of this affair the whole principality
of Oneglia wasevacuated, and the French are re
prerented as retreating in the greared disorder to
wards St. Remo. In these official relations much
praise is bellowed on the Piedmohtefe officers and
troops, who have much diltinguiffied themselves.
The French have another petition at Vintimille,
on the Roia, but which it is not fnppofed they
can maintain, and it is Dot doubted that they will
bedriven beyond the Varin a few days. We have
nothing new from Genoa or /Savona ; these places

We learn by infelligence from the right wing
of the army under Gen. Leconrbe, that it palfed
the liter on the 22d, and took possession of Kemp

troops occupy Augfburg. In regard to Ulm, we
have nothing certain fefpetting what has taken
place in that quarter. We are assured on the one
hand, that our troops have entered it, and on the
other, that the Austrians ate preparing for a vi
gorous defence. Prince keufe attempted to ad
vance by Lindau and Buchorn, to join Gen. Kray,
but was hot able to fircceed ; he was therefore
obliged to retire to Bregentz, which the Auflrians
are beginning to evacuate.

electioneering:
MR. PRINTER,
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
From the Paris Paper;
As to the cause of Pickering's removal it is even
at this hour, a mere matter of Conjecture. Vari
ous are the reasons assigned for the open avowal
of ho'ftilities, between the leaders of two parties,
with whoni a secret enmity had for a long.time
subsisted. Many have ascribed it to the Prefidetit's
defeating the Pickaroon jufito in their plan of
plunging the country into a war with France,
and pf driving us by that means to an alliance and
union with Great Britain, upon a plan nearly
similar to the union that has taken place between
G. Britain and Ireland—This he effected by the
appointment ; of Envoys to France, which he did
without even consulting Pickering, contrary to
the practice on all former occasions—But the
Pickerobf lparty account.fof the disgrace of their
leader in quite a different manner—and fay that
this neglect in consulting Pickering about nomi
nating the envoys was not any part of an origi.
nal fyflem, but only a display of resentment ex
cited by Pickering's manly and independent con
duct on a former occasion, and that the President
finally was induced to dismiss him, from an ap
preheufion, that he might interfere again in inter
rupting some favorite pursuit. They fay the
President has deviated from that delicacy Which
Washington ever observed, with tegard to the ap
pointment of his relations and particular favorites
—They fay that the fitG, or almost the firft nom
ination the President made to the Senate was of
his own fob, as envoy to Berlin—That this was
immediately focceeded by a nomination of. Wm.
Smith, as ambassador to Portugal—that there was
a want of delicacy in so speedy a nomination of
both these persons; the firft being his foil, and
the other the avowed author of a series of elec
tioneering publications under the signature of
Phocion, in which the President was panegyrifed
in the most fulfome Grains of flattery, and his ri
val Mr^efferfon, molt fhametally calumniated—
—they flhplfo that this want of delicacy was fur?
ther di^Byed, by the immediate removal of
, Tench from his office, who was the known
writer in opposition to Phocion—that tho' such
; conduct could not meet the approbation of Pick
ering, he silently acqui^fced ; until, in spite of
' his'denunciatious of Jacobins, the President soon
afthr nominated a reputedly diltinguifhed Jaco
bin to.be adjutant General of the American ar
my—and this was no other than his son in law.
The Senate, for the firft time in this reign, nega
tived the nomination. This disappointment, mor
tifying as it muff have been, it is said was ascribed
to the influence of Pickering. Froth that mo
ment the coolness between them could no longer
be concealed ; and though the President after
' wards succeeded in obtaining the commission cf
Colonel for his son in law, yet mutual suspicions
daily continued to widen the breach between tub
characters who knew not how to yield—and they
fay as the President Gill contemplated a further
advancement of the interest of his family, in fil
ling the new office ofCommiffioner of Stamps—by
way of prevention# Timothy was removed, and
Mr. Johnson, the father in law of.the President’s
son, was appointed to the lucrative office of
Stamp-MaGer-Gerieral. It is alfd said that a ma
jority of the Senate had a feeling with Pickering
Federalism, as has been said of Republican
ism, may mean any thing or nothing, according
as the term is applied ; its principles however,
are, in my opinion, exposed clearly to view in the
last, Oracle, b, a whiter under the signature of
" ^friend to Order," which is earned!, recom
mended to the perusal of all who are desirous of
learning the true import of this fafhionable word.
The elegance of stile, decency of expreffion,faavity
of disposition in the writer, strongly recommend
ed it as a sample of moderh refinement, even sur
passing a celebrated publication, probaby from
the fame author, which appeared in the New-
Hampshire Gazette soon after the- town meeting
in Portsmouth for the choice of Gate officers in
March, 1799. As our manner of thinking and
acting depends much on education and habit as
well as on the natural temper of the mind, it is by
no means Grange to find the milder virtues here
so amiably displayed. Early initiated into public
life this disciple of Cheflerfield enjoyed every fa
vorable opportunity for exhibiting a refpettful
deportment towards his foperiors ; possessed of a
disposition uncommonly pacific, no broils have
disturbed his gentle passions ; no threats of copo
real chastisement from an injured benefactor, have
forced from him an humiliating submission (too
often the fate of proud and ungoverned Spirits)
but tranquil and serene our hero yet lives in lei
sure and affluence, on public bounty, to bless the
world with those enviable virtues which in fuel)
abundance seldom fall to the lot of mortals.
mr. Printer,
You may be allured that amdng 11s in the north
part of Strafford and Rockingham counties—Jc
feph Badger, jun. Esq. and Gen. M'Clarey—will
be largely voted for as federal Representatives at
the next election—and by what we hear from
other parts, it is probable these two may beeled
ed the firft time Mr. Nahum Parker, of the
county of Cheshire, is a good deal talked of, and
tho' nlanv of ik are not acquainted with him, yet
we are Uthe is a farmer like mod of us—and
that he of great sense and knowledge—
and very^preft and tipright ; if so he is the man
we want-^KI ought to have the vote of every
true friend to the country. We have heard of
Dr. Bartlett, of Kingstown, who is mentioned in
jour paper, and I believe our people would vote
for him if he did not live so near Exeter—for yon
mutt know they are very jealous of the influence
of that place:—efpecially since so much has been
said in the papers about the carryings on in money
matters in Philadelphia—There are fume tough
and comical Tories told about outr capital, but
trust one half an't true ; was it not for that, be
lieve we should vote for Bartlett—perhaps you
will tell us more about it in your next paper.
these, who, under the mantof federalism, con
ceal a deadly hatred to c> ery republican principle,
—from the creatures of Porcupine, or these who
are now secretly traducing President Adams, for
the purpose of setting up Gen. Pinckney in his
pace; or from the faction who are trying to
plunge the country into a war with France, and
are constantly driving to conceal from the public
the horrid ravages committed by Great Britain on
American property, and her daily impreffments
of American seamen—and who, when they can
no longer conceal, are never wanting in argu
ments to jollify their nefarious conduct ; from
such characters this ticket, does not expert, nor
would the candidates from such accept a tingle
vote — But from the true friends to the liberty &
conllitution of the country, from the lovers of
peace, good order, and a republican government,
they may expect a unanimous fuffrage.
Extras of a letter from Philadelphia, dated July 9.
•-<-<❖> ~.
in these tranfadionf, mil when the Ucufe cf
Representatives voted to leave it in the dijeretion
of the President jo disband the army, the Senate
noil-concurred the vote, and reltricrtu the dilcre
>tion of the tirft Magikrate to the 15th of June.
I have thus briefly dated the t tk of the day,
with regard to a tranfaClioh, that has combined
an opposition against the re-election of President
Adams, far more formidable, to him than all the
■ oppofitibn of the friends of Jefferfon —as this new
party are not only more energetic and lefohdc,
but they in faft leagued with a large portion of
holders of public offices through the United States.
' 1 heed not inform you that General Pinckney is
their object and be assured no pains or experde
will be spared to attain it. To calumniate the
President is with them a merit, and to such a
height is their resentment carried, that they seem
to have loft light of Jefferfon in their perfecvtioix
of Adams. As 1 believe the pursuits of the party
are hoflile to the spirit of our Republican Gov
ernment, I cannot but hope they will be defeated.
Indeed,notwithstanding the failings of Mr. Adams;
(which 1 believe far Jess than they are reprefeut
ed to be, and no one is perfect,) would be for the
; mterift of the country to continue the two firft
officers in the hands that now hold them. Unless
the friends of Adams and Jefferfon can so tar
unite 1 Shall tremble for the Safety of our Repub
lican government.
We hear a notorious old torr, alias art'
aristocratic federalift, observed to one of the
well known Essex Junto, that a gentleman,
gave as a toast at Fanuel Hall, " The pro-,
scribed patriots Hancock, and Samuel Ad
ams." Is it pollible ? replies the goad fed
eralift, the man that would give that toast
ought to be d —d, and kick'd out of the
Hall :---but flop my friend, it was the Pre
siDENTof the United Stakes gave the
toast. Ah ! Impossible! Impoflible ! Has
he turned jacobin ? [%. Tel.
What could induce the President of the
United States to bring forward at this late
period of his administration, Samuel Adams,
an Hancock and an Otis, characters, who for
almost four years past have been placed in
the back ground, particularly the firft of
these distinguished revolutionary characters,
the venerable old patriotic Samuel Adams ;
this father of our glorious revolution, has
been called an antifederalift, a jacobin, a
diforganizer, &c. by the anglo-federalifts,
who have applied the fame approbrious ep
ithets to the immortal Hancock, and indeed,
to every other patriot of '75, who has sac
redly adhered to the genuine principles of
liberty, which animated them at that impor
tant crisis which tried men's fouls. We
cannot suppose that Mr. Adams brought
forward thole characters, at the late public
dinner at Fanuel Hall, as an electioneering
manoeuvre. [„.
