SALEM, Not. it.
Capt. Williams informs us, that the divifion
of French troops which took pi>Ucffion of Leg
horn, had pa fled through Tufcnny, or Etruria,
with unprecedented celerity.—They entered
Florence, the capital, without the inhabitants,
or the court, being even apprif.d of their ap
proach. The day they arrived at Leghorn, they
made a forced march of I t Italian miles (faid
to|be equal to 43 Englifli milc«.) Their appear
ance at the pate of the city was fo unexpected,
that they were for a few minutes denied admit
119 wuui ic wns prrccrvra that they
were aflually a body of French troops, no fur
ther objection va8 made to their entrance._
They halted in the principal fquare of the city,
where a number of the fiddlers, exhanfted with
fatigue, fell downZupon the fpot. They imme
diately took pofTVfiron of the fort* and batre
ries, and carried into them an extraordinary
quantity of ammunition, fhrlls, &c. which ex
cited confidrrable alarm, left it had beeh afeer
tained that the Britifh intended a hum bard merit
of the city. It was however fonn given out,
that their ohjrtf was the feizure of Britifh pro
perty; but their preceding vigorous meafures
convinced moft qf the well informed, that the
Emperor of France was about making a change
in the government of the country ; that proba
bly the Roman ftates, or fome nther territory,
would be added to the little kingdom of Etru
ria, and given to Lucien Bonaparte, who had
long been an exile of Rome, but who had late
ly been received into favor by his imperial bro
ther. And fuch is the prefent harrafted condi
tion of the independent kingdom of Etruria, as
almoft to induce the inhabitants to wifli for a
French government atonce.
The Americans at Leghorn were in a ftate of
alarm refprtting the differences between En
gland and America, the laft accounts indicating
no profpeift of a fettlement the Englifh being
determined, as it was find never to give up I he
right of frarch and impreffment of their framen
wherever they could be found, excepting on
board our public flop*, which they would re
fpeft ; and the Britilh men of war in the Medi
terranean had of late hecome more fevere in ex
amining American veffelsthan ever ; twice was
the crew of the Friendfliip muftered and exam
ined by Englifh officers.
The accounts of the fate of Copenhagen had
reached Leghorn, and the following afFetfing
circumftance was related .—That juft before
the capitulation a fortie was made by the Danes,
with a view of retaking Frederickfladt hv ftorm ;
that among the troops that made the fortie was
a fine battalion of young Cadet Volunteers from
the military academy at Copenhagen, compofeil
of fonsof (he fii lt families, who pledged them
felves never to return unfticcefaful from the for
t's; that, (fad to relate) the whole of the bat
talion was deftroyed—either killed, wounded,
or prifbn-ra—not one returned !
„*■*** Mw'Uu. u/hn arrive/]
yetletday Iroin Pcterlbur-h informs us, that
great numbers of troops had been entering that
place fur fotnc time before his departure, with
immenfc quantities of artillery, and every kind
of military apparatus, furnace were prepared
upon the mole for heating /hot—block (hips
were fitting up, and placing in ftations of de
fence, and every kind of preparation was making
as tho’ they expected an attack ; doubtlrfs their
apprehenfions were from the Englifii. A French
ambafThdor had recently arrived there, and a

LATE FROM FRANCE.
We have received French papers to thr 3d of
Ortober by the fbip Two Manas, from Nantes.
They furnilh no political intelligence of mo
ment. Capt. U ley informs, that when he left
Nantes, which was on the loth Ortober, the
situation of affairs between the United States
and England had occafioned conliderable flag- ;
option in the freighting bufinefs, though money
was very plentiful.—-The manufartories were
in a fintiriftr.ng condition, commerce received i
all the fupport which the government could 1
pay to it, and every pofTiblc exertion was mak
ing to realize the character given to the French
by their Emperor on his return from Tilfit_
that of “ a great people.” The Canal Napo.
Iron, intended to unite the Mediterranean and ]
North Sea by means of the Rhine aDd Rhone,
was in great forwardnefs. Fourteen flops of
war were on the flocks at Antwerp only, where

cion of intended hoftihty. At the expiration
of that time? Mr. Jackfon fuddenly appeared
in this city with the modeft demand of our na
vy as a depolit againft,French intrigue And influ
ence, to he rtftored at the period of a geneial
peace. The demand was peremptorily refuted
by the junior Bcrn/lofT deputed toad here io
the ahfeoce cf the prince royal, and the older
minifter, Brrnftoir. The audience and difcufii.
on at the end of this demand lafted but an hour,
when Mr. Jackfon took leave and refuge on
board the fleet. The fecond morning after,
theltown was in a convulfed ftate, from the well
authenticated report of 20,000 troopshaving
landed, at about the diflance of fix Englifli
miles. Such was the confidence of this govern
ment, in tlie charadtcriltic honor of yours, that
the neceflity for preparatory opposition was
wholly overlooked, until this latter event wav
fullv proved and eflablifhed.
In this fiatc of affairs, and being without anv*
regular troops, the defence of the city was left
j to about fix thoufand militia, the burghers, fiu
i dents, See. all of whom exerted thcmfelves day
I and night in fortifying the ramparts round the
I city, and making every neceffary preparation
I for defending the honor of their king and coi;n
! try. In this occupation they were*' employed
; I believe twelve days inceffantly, when a flag of
truce appeared for the governor l’eyman, with
a demand funilar to Mr, J.:ckfon’s, that met
the fame fate. This brought forward the day
following, a proclamation from Gambler and
Cathcart, explaining the circumftanccs that im
pelled the king, their matter, to adopt the mea
fures which menaced the rcfufal of their de
mand through Mr. Jackfoo, and wifhing toim
prefs the idea of friendly intention, towards the
government, in cafe it would yield to the ohjeft
of their expedition. This proclamation brought
forward frequent interchanges ot fl<gs and ef
tafettes that eventually terminated in the fur
rendtrof the town being demanded, with this
addition, that if refufed, the bombardment
would on the following day commence. For
many nights previous to this fcreral Ikiunilhes
took place between the enemy and a corpa of
volunteers compoffd of youth3 fiom the differ
ent rcfpe<5tahle fimilicB of the city, whole active
ardor and fpirit merited a better late than even
tually awaited them, as upwards of 80 befidea
double the number defperateiy wounded, fell
in the detached connects, /mended hoitilitiea
being now announced, it was time to provide
for the fafety of women and children. Having
of this defeription 16 in number uader my pro
tection, I was conftrr.ined to appoint a cellar,
IC feet fquare, as the only place of refuge or
feeming fafety. In this we remained from VVed
nefday the 2d of Sept, until the Sunday foilov/

window frame and glafs, being hurt and dc
ftroyed by the Glowers of iuot that flruck and
burlt around me. The operations of tin-fir ft
night having ended, a flag was lent in, but in
dignantly difmifltd.
On Friday, after Thurfday night’s hoflilitier,
a tecond appeared, but refuted ; the confe
qncnce was ohfcrved in the determined rcfoluti
<>n of the enemy to exert their every power on
Friday night, in reducing the city toadies._
About ten o’clock of that night, two of the
principal churches were alTailed by fiie'.ls and
rockets ; thefe took fir- ; and notwithftandin^
