Fiance tiotwithftandihg het boasted
Victories on the Continent, appears to
beat this day as much-torn and distrac
ted by contending parties, as ihe was at
any period since the Revolution.
The debates in the Council of Five
Hundred on the fubjed of Finance,
were received on the 19th irft. and con
duced with such heat, that the mem
bers, in their anxiety to mount the
tribune, collard one another, and tore
off their (hires and clothes The motion
which gave rife to this difeuffien, war
to # repeal the reftriftions imposed on the
directory, by the Ita resolutions of
Gilbert Delmolieres. On this motion
the council puffed to the order of the
day.
In the fitting of the 20th inst. Paftoret
called the attention of the Council to
the political situation of France and the
. United States of America. Adverting
to the Treaty of 1778, he profeffed
himfelf unable to conceive how the
Directory could issue the order of the
2d March, last, which was equivalent
to a declaration of war. '• What,"
said Paftorat, •'have been the aRs of
hoftilit, «whicb have poovoked this order ?
I admit that the Commercial Treaty in
1794, between Wafeington and England,
md, give rife to feme suspicions rejpeaing
the United Starts ; but tbefe are not Juffi
cient to juflif, a violation of the Con
fiction.'
The order of proceeding, adopted,

Extract of a letter from Dr. Ru/h, of Phila

on Tuefday last.
" The old enemy of the cities in America,
and the offspring of their ignorance and neg-'
ngence, has a„,..m appeared among us : more
persons are now ill with it, than were on the
-22 dof August 1792. Its mortality is much
less than in that memorable year, owing, to
the more liberal #nfe of depleting remedies.
It is evidently contagious. Mr. Wynkoop
has published in a letter to Dr. Meafe, a true
account of its putrid, and domestic origin.
" Keep your Greets, wharves, docks, yards,
and cellars CLEAN, and you will have NO
YELLOW FEVER. I am fatisfied that °
it has seldom been imported from Weft-
Indies. Unfortunately, the reverse of this
opinion is universal in Philadelphia,
Byway of Poftfeript the Do&or adds,
“ Kain has a sensible influence in check
ing our fever. Occasional (bowers may, and
I hope will, save our city."

• Since Thursday we have experienced the
nioft heavy and incessant rains that ever were .
known in the memory of the oldest inhabi-;
itant of this place. The wind at N. W. al-|
ternatly Lifting to the N E. brought such a
torrent as in the space of 30 hours complete
ly to inundate all the low grounds in this vi
cinity, and for miles diOant. , Accounts from
the country have verified the deftru&ion of
many valuable bridges, boufes and meadows#
Two bridges at Darby (one of which was built
of stone) have* been entirely fabverted. The
bridges at Newport and Whiteclay Creek
have shared the fame fate. A two story
house at Christiana, the property of Mr. S.
Welch, has floated across the creek by the
impetuosity of the torent, and deposited near
200 yards from its former. Nation. The
roads in fevcgal places arc rendered impervi^

direful prof,e& of its rainouseffe&s.

Buonaparte was waited for to be present at the

Ever, thing promises triumph to Pacific

Government evinces a disposition to be at

Some dispute about the navigation of Lake

: .OBITUARY?
Mr. MERRILL, whose death was men
tioned in our last, was a young gentleman in
the 21st year of his age, and Member of the
University in this place. He was the only
furvivirig son of his now ?ffli&ed Parents,
who live in Newbury, Massachusetts.—His
deportment from a Child, and his indication
of Genius, had been such as to excite the ton
deft hopes in the breads of bis parents and
:friends, and to render him peculiarly tender
; and dear to them. His exemplary conduct
while a member of College, and the rapid
progress he made in the pursuits of Icience
were luch as to command the approbation
of the Officers, of the Institution, and to ren
der the pains of reparation, to his Classmates
and friends, very painful and distressing.
Hit disorder was that of a putrid dyfentary.
It was not painful, but debilitating and fatal.
Every exertion was made for his relief, but
hit disease was beyond the reach of medical
aid. He died on Sunday evening last, after
dbout ten .days confinement, Without a strug
gle or a sigh, having frequently during his
licknefs exonffed an entire resignation tp the
Sovereign Will. His Mineral was on Tuef
day preceding Commencement ; when his
body was conveyed to the meetinghouse, to
gether with the corpse of Miss Polly
Green, and that of an infant of Mr. Jedl
- Baldwin, when a fer mon was de
livered upon the occasion by Mr. Edson
from these words—" Refill and know that 1
am God." The Officers ofCollege and the
members of his Class were in deep mourn
ing and the whole feene was solemn and af
feCTng beyond defcriptiou. This is the sec
ond inftince of three funerali in iday, which
has occured within a week.
