Grand Duchy of Tnfcany.
FRANKFORT, XOV. TO.
While we were fluttering burfelves with the
hopes of peace, appearances' here have suddenly
became very warlike.
Yesterday Gen. Angereau received a courier
from Paris, with ordersto give notice immediate
ly of the termination of the armistice ; which he
Accordingly did on the fame day ; Adj. Gen. Rich
er was yeflerday afternoon sent with the toilow
ing note to the Conimander of the Audrain troops
at Affebanffenburgh:
GENERAL,
According to the orders I have received from
my government, 1 hereby notify to you the termi
nation of the armiflice. Humilities will therefore
commence In fourteen days from this day, that is,
on the 22d day of November.
ANGEREAU.
HAMBURGH,Nov. 18.
An iexprefs has this instant arrived here
with the disagreeable intelligence, that an
Embargo has been laid on all the English
Ihips (seventy in number)in the port of Ri
ga.
Etratsburch. Nov. 17.
The armeftice has been denounced to the
armies. Gen. Defolles, who has the provi
sional command during the absence of Mo
reau, has notified to the archduke John, the
commander in chief of the Austrian army,
that rhe armistice is at an end; and that hos
tilities will recommence on the 7th Fri
maire, Nov. 28. Orders have been public
ly given to the army at Mayence, that the
armidice is to conclude on the 29th Bru
maire, Nov. 20. Adjutant Genera! Anger
eau arrived at Afchalfenburgh on the eve of
a grand feftival.
According to the last intelligence from
Switzerland, the Government and Consti
tuted authorities of Zurich were informed
that the armistice had been denounced the
18th Brumaire, Nov. 9. Hoflilities will re
commence inthat quarter on the 3d or 4th
riimaire. Nov. 24 or 25. The head quar
ters of General Macdonald are at Coire.
The gaeater part of the army of the Grifons
has already set out on its march to the fron
tiers. A considerable force is affcmbling in
the country of the Grifons'.
Mv. 18. A courier, whois just arrived
from Bafle, brings us the following intelli
gence : The question abotit a new change
in the foperior authorities of Switzerland, is
again agitated : ,Ue establishment of Confnls
is the fobjedt of every converfarion. A re
port isaoew in circulation, that different
parts of this country will be united to the
neighbouring countries. Perhaps there are
persons who give currency to these reports
for the purpose of facilitating their plans.
London, Sor.zl
We are forty,o date that the intelligence
We communicated, yesterday of 70 British
vessels having been detained by the Emper
or Paul at Riga, is confirmed by the mail.
It is reported that 160 fllips have been flop
ped at St. Peterfburgh, and as the embargo
would certainly extend to Archangel, it is
believed that not iewer than 300 in all'have
been detained.
Letters from the Continent mention, that
Buohapaote refufed the request made by
Count Cobentzel in the emperor's name, to
admit the Neapolitan ambaffad r, Marquis
de Gallo, to the Congress at Luneville.
Nov. 29. Yesterday were received Par
is papers to the 25th in(t. From the ac
counts of hostile preparations in the last
French papers, it might be expected that the
present would bring an account that hostili
ties had commenced at lead in Italy. They
do not, however ; but they seem to fay that
war is inevitable. Buonaparte's horses, &
a detachment of his guards, left Paris on the
20'11 for the Rhine, where it is said he will
assume the command ofthe army. Moreau
is to repair to Italy.
According to the notices by the French
Generals, the armiftic was not tn be broken
in Tyrol until the 24th, and Batavia until
the 28th.
The conferences qt Luneville dill contin
ue ; but from the orders of the several French
Generals to resume hoftilitits, it is evident
that no great progress had been made in the
y/ork of pence on the 19th of Nov. the date
of the last Bulletin from thence.
On the 22d of Nov. Buonaparte affem
bded the Legislative body of France. This
meeting was opened by an official exposi
tion of thegeneral state of France. It con
tains a defeription .of thb ruinous date of af
fairs when Buonaparte assumed the reins of
power, and contrails it with jt, present im
proved circumstances.
Buonaparte exults in the failure of the
negoci'ation.betwixt Kleber and the Otto
man Cabinet. He also urges the powers of
the north to shake off what he is pleased to
term the “ Tyranny which oppresses their
COMMUNICATION.
York, (Maine) Jan. 12. ißor.
The high probability, and even morrl
certainty ot Mr. Jeeferson's election to
the office of President of the Union, must
till the heart of every Republican throughout
the United States, with the mod grateful
lenfations ; unless they are milled by the
artful mifreptefentations of the Tory Farion,
a fadion who have left nothing unsaid, no
tning undone, which/could be thought of
by those malicious miscreants, to blast the
invaluable reputation of the greatest and belt
of men.
When we contemplate t h e talents and
integrity o f the person wh o is to preside in
our national councils, we may confidently
expert more auspicious tj mcs „ Lt is pre
sumed no perfo n i who j s a friend to his
country, Will dispute the propriety of cele
brating an event so important as this happy
change in our executive department; Yes,
it ought also to be noticed by public a&s ot
devotion to the Deity, who has so signally
appeared for us, and, we trust, delivered us
from impending deftruaion—for if we can
rely on Federal papers, that in South Caro
lina the republican Eledors were chosen
" in consequence of the absence of ten Fed
eral members by reason offekhefs, then it
must be considered by every contemplative
person, as a miraculous interposition of hea
ven, and ought hot to pass unnoticed ! !
In York a refpeaable number of Repub
lican gentlemen met upon the occasion, On
Tuefday the 6th inlf. and after reading fev
eial paflages from Mr. Jefferfon's Notes on
Virginia, such as his Reply to the Abbe
Raynald and M. Buffon, his Defence of Re

Slavery of the blocks, &c. partook of a
handsome entertainment, after which the

Yesterday arrived the Hamburgh Mail
due on Wedpefday last. It confirms the
important intelligence, which we mention
ed in pur last, that the Emperor of Ruflia
had laid an embargo on all the British ship
ping in the ports of his dominions. It is
also stated, on the authority bf private letters
from Hamburgh, that in addition to this ad
of violent aggression, he has thrown the
captains of these vessels into prison.

the Attorney-General, and Sir Stephen Cot

by laying an embargo on all the Ruffian

SUMMARY
OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE'.
Eythe lafl accounts from the North the Emperor
.of Raffia hm detained all the British property in
his ports, till the rights of neutral commerce were
acknowledged. Sweden Jpeaks in a high font; and
the negotiations of Denmark and England appear
to have given no fatisfatlion to the northern pow
ers. While the kuffian fleet remains near the coast
of Turkey; it is noiforgotten that the Ruffians fill
hold their claims upon the Ottoman power, which
makes but a feeble resistance against the the irtjur
gents of Bulgaria, and is unable to aid the provin
ces of Syria and Egvpt. The French Cabinet does
not appear to be unacquainted with the movements
of the North, and while they have a profpeft of
molding Egypt may not di/courage the hopes of Ruf-
Jia. Prufia will probably be indemnified for all
acquisitions made by the Emperor of Germany on
the Adriatic, and has already dijeovered its inten
tions in regard to the free ports on the German
Ocean.
The movements of the European powers have
home appearance of an hafly, but final adjufment.
The French Conjul has laid before the Le?,iJlature
the fate of the Nation as to its affairs at home and
and abroad. The Congress of Luneville will con
tinue, but how jar negociations proceed is yet un
known. Separate treaties are encouraged, but the
great fceireof war is yet open. Military notice has
been given on all parts of the Rhine, that the ar
miJUce has ended. Tufeany, which was not incor
porated in the CiJalpine Republic, is now absolutely
in the power of France. Italy is again alarmed.
The King of Naples does not find his territories Jo
Jecure as he expelled, and his troops do not advance
fofaji towards Tufeany as to prevent the French
from approaching, or the ecclejiaflical See from
the fear of an invasion. The English contending
with famine and fartian, behold with jolicitude and
net without courage the united efforts of Europe to
dimimfh their marine Jlrength, and to oppose the
laws they have given to the ocean. Orders are
given in every direction to Jeite upon the property
of Raffia, and the year appears to open with the ex
pectation of Great events. [Salem Regilier
The Committee of revifai and unfinished bnfi
nefs, have reported to the house of Representatives
jhat the Sedition Law will expire on the 4th of
'March next, and that it is expedient to reenact &
continue the fame.
Extracts from Bourdeaux, Nov. 3, by the fltip Nep
tune,
" There is no prospect of a peace with Aus
tria.”•;
" The ports will soon be opened, in consequence
of the convention with your country. A profound
tranquility reigns here resetting politics, and a
general anxiety is expressed tor peace, which is
much wanted. I think your government cannot
possibly rejca the treaty."
Extraft of a letter from the captain of a tieffel now
in Jamaica, to a ref peliable house in B altimore,
dated Nov. 4, 1800.
Gentlemen,
" Since the English have taken possession ofChr
racoa, they have commuted fad depredation on
the Americans. Letters which I hope you have
received, inform you ot the particulars of your
vessel. Ten leagues to windward ot Curracoa, I
was captured by a teneer belonging to the British
frigate Decade, on the tenth of last month, and
without examining hiy papers, was immediately
taken into Curracoa, whete they took out the
greatest part of the cargo, and examined it ; after
which they,put it below, in a very abusive manner
and ordered the Schooner to Jamaica for trial.
On her passage they tore and wrecked her sadly
—They will not now so much as fuffer me to take
any care of her, and think mytelt happy if they
will fuffer me to remain on board. On the 20th
the Schooner arrived at Jamaica, and they imme
diately commenced difenarging the caftgo. As Icon
se 1 got on Shore I protested, and have done every
thing necessary in my power, which 1 hope will
prove fatisfaenry. Yours, &c.
'' P. S, The Schooner Hannah, of Baltimore,
was also captured by the English, and before they
sent her into port they put men 011 board and sent
her a privateering.—After doing her considerable
damage, She was sent to Jamaica for trial, where
She was Cleared."
