Os the frefh expedition of the French a
gainst the inhabitants of Fontana Buona, oyr ,
official Gazette contains the following' de
tails : “On the 15th inst. the French Gen.
Maffena, with a corps of 5 or 1000 men,
marched against Fontano Buoua, intending
to punish ,he inhabitants with fire & sword.
The insurgents, apprised of the approach of
the enemy, and or their views, executed the
following plan, assisted by the small body of
Auftrilans with them. On the enemy's ap
proach, they divided themselves on both sides
of the high road entirely clear for the ene
my, who advanced rapidly, and immediate
ly attacked the Austrians in front. The
conflict had scarcely begun, when suddenly
the insurgents left 'their ambufo, surrounded
the enemy, and thus bro't them between two
fires. Os the French, 2000 remained dead
on the field of battle ; the number of their
wounded and prisoners was still more con
siderable ; 113 . officers, two of them Gen
erals, were wounded, and one of them,
Gen. Arnould, soon afterwards died of his
wounds.

A report was in circulation to day, that
Malta had Art rendered after Valeria had been
Iterated by the Allies. Noofficial accounts,
however, have as yet been received of its

PARTS, APRIL 12.
An advice boat dispatched by Gen. Kle
ber, has brought an official copy of his Con
vention with the Turkish Grand Vizier.—
The General dates his letter from the camp
at Salahich, Jan. 30,, and addressed to the
Directory. He states, that the Turkish ar
my, which was on its way to Egypt, a
mounted to 80,000 ; that they were con
&aed by European officers ; and bringing
a park of 70 pieces of artillery ; that the.
Arabs and Mamalukes did every thing in
their power to aid the Grand Vizier's army;
that their enmity to the French was uncon
querable : that the French army reduced to
8500 men, scattered over a considerable ex
tent of territory, having Katich, Salahich &
Belbeys, for their posts : that Sir Sydney
Smith favored the Convention, which he'
firft opened to Gen.Kleber, and the articles

PORT^MWAH, 'fUNE IP, 1800-
At Newburyport, on Monday the 2d inst. and on
Tuefday was interred with Masonic Honours,
sr. George Jerrp Oborne, jr.
late Editor of the Paper.
THE virtues of the deceased can derive but a feeble luftre ;
from the records of a Ncwfpapci, but their 'remembrance will'
ever live In the hearts of his friends. If benevolence, which
wept at the fight of others woe ; if a fcnfiblity, which kindled at
the opprptfor's wrong, and a heart overflowing with benevolence
to all, c,n render man lamented here, and happy her^ffr, thei
grave of Mr. OSBORNE will be watered with the tears of his ac
quaintance, arid angels with" rapture will bear him to the shores
of a blifsful immortality. To a philanthropic mind, was united
in him, that refined delicacy, which is the invariable atftndant
on real worth. And tho' long oppressed by a lingering fickneU,
yet through the clouds of affli&jon, the emanations of a genius
dircaed by solid judgment, not unfrequentty irradiated thep,
per he published. ' In policies: fie was. what WjplwCTw^^
wished airto be. True to the principles which formed ^ft.M#
of our independence, he undeviatingfy pursued the welfare of this
country, which his impartial, the' spirited management of this
paper will tcltify. The affairs of other nations interested ^m on
ly, as he conceived them fubfcrvient to the profperßy of hteowW
and the good of the world. Love of his country was the ruling
paffiori of his foul, and a wifi for her happineU was the hft that I
died in him. X'

. Prompt on every occasion to vindicate the honor of our gov
ernment, he Was the herald of the injuries it fuffered, whether
by French or Britilh aggressions. * . ':
On such principles was this paper conduaed while under the
auspicious direction of Mr. Ofbornc—And tho* his body deeps in
the dust, a (park of his spirit, we trust, will still illumine the
pages of the LEDGER, which will be continued by his assigns,
who solicit the patronage of the public, in their attempts to
diffuse just and impartial information, and political and moral
radiance, through the various elaffes among which it may cir-'

An obflinate adherence to the Britilh Udion
and a delife to fobjeft the President to its iuflo
ence, is said to be the cause of Pickering's difty,
fion. Nothing (hurt of war with the French,
would satiate his savage ferocity, and for that
purpose Porcupine and other contemptible fate|-

French and warranting over the continued Ipolia

The Republican interell in New-York Legisla
ture, has obtained a complete majority of 28. 1
We have heat'd a great deal, and we fear a great
deal of melancholy truth, on the impressment of
Artepcan seamen by the British. Mr. Pickering
can tell us much more than the public foe >et
heard—if he will ! But the following fa& is too
little known ; ^nd by it the public » ill,earn that
much of the (tillerings o( American featpen may
be fairly attfibihed to the Grange, the culpable
negligence of John J —• , .:..
Among the papers laid on,the table of the sen
ate soon after the concision of his notorious trea
ty, was a flfort note from Mr, Jay to, Lord Gren
.tille,iUtiDgAhat a clause fhoulti be introduced in
to the ireaty for the mutual prote&ion, and to
prevent the Impressment of each other's seamen ;
towhich was an answer from Lord Genyille that
he could not conceive any objeftion to such a
clause ——Why tiled did jay omit to introduce
the clause ? HH fellow citizens impressed and im
prifoifed on board the Brjtifh fleet call him to an
swer this question ; in which his character, and
what'is of far more importance, their lives and
liberties, and the honor and fafety of America are
so much concerned. If he can answer it Satisfac
torily, it becomes him to fatisfy the public : if not
it becomes the public to fatisfy themselves.

Triumph of Republicanism.
The following is as correct an account of the
state of parties in the next legillature, as can at
present be afeertained. All the doubtful charac
ter, are given,!' the aristocratic party, and also
thdfe from the niotf diGant countries, from which
we have not as yet had explicit information. —,
The result (hews the amazing preponderance of
thn republican party. The electors of President
and Vice President ate chosen by a joint ballot of
both branches in the legislature. The Republican
•majority in this case will be at leaf! twenty-one.
The Council of appointment will also be on the
republican fide by a majority of twenty-eight—:
Next spring a general election for Governor takes
pfoce^ when no doubt the whole edifice of aristoc
racy i, this state will fall to the ground. At the
lafl election the republican party has increased 7
senators and 38 members of assembly; What,
are we not to auguefrom such a rapid and impor
tant change ? —- ib.
ATTENTION.
The preservation of our republican form of go
vernment must in a great measure depend on the
encouragement given to the militia. In arbitrary
countries, the force is placed in landing armies,
and the will of a few is enforced at the point of
the bayonet. But when the great body of the peo
ple are interelled in supporting the life, liberty,
and property of each individual, and the laws alone
govern ; where each man is protected in his rights
and privileges, and where it is the duty of every
one to afford his affiflance to the support of law
and-regular government, surely it is a matter of
no small moment to enconrage a well regulated,
organized militia..-
The present moment calls aloud to Ell, but par
tfcularljrito the Republicans of America. The
voice of the people has at length prevailed : it has
reached the ears of men in- power, and if not car
ried conviction, caused a pause ! Thagks to this
voice, which has echoed from pneend ot the Union
to the other, and produced a change of 'meafures.
The army has fallen, probably to rife no more.
The command has gone forth. LIBERTY IS
