LONDON, April 25.
The Spanish Court has been some time arming. His Catholic Majesty has intimated to the British Court that he cannot see with indifference the plans of aggrandizement me- ditated by the Empress of Russia a- gainst the Turks. Her attacks on the Ottoman Port, he considers as hostile to the peace of all the sur- rounding nations—which he thinks it his duty to resist by every effort in his power—and has no doubt of the co-operation of his Britannic Majesty. Cadiz, Malaga, and Bar- celona are full of ships, and troops are daily marching to the camps round Gibraltar—the possession of which fortress the French are said to have guaranteed to Spain, if she goes to war with England.
[It is known that England is in alliance with Russia—of course can- not co-operate with Spain against her. This may be the pretence for Spain's breaking with England; and joining France in the war.]
PARIS, April 24.
The Council of five Hundred has voted a further supply to the War Minister of Two Hundred Mil- lions.
April 25.
The utmost tranquillity prevails in this capital. The promissory notes or Mandats are in considera- ble circulation; and on this account the tradesmen sell for assignats on- ly. They refuse to fix the price in specie, for fear they should have Mandats forced on them instead of hard cash.
Our letters from Brittany state, that such has been the effect there of the capture of Charette, that two men armed with sticks only, might go safely from Fontena to Nantes. There was no other em- ployment for the soldiers except to apprehend the emigrants, almost all of them disguised as labourers.
STOCKHOLM, April 8.
Preparations for war are making in all parts in the kingdom. One company has offered 60 tons of gold for the war. The object is to coun- teract the triple alliance of en- gland, Austria and Russia; and to divert the Empress from her me- ditated attacks on the Turks. Troops are marching to Finland, and all the forces of the States, land and naval, are ordered to be in readi- ness.
GENOA, March 28.
Last Friday, advices was received that a body of 2000 French had en- tered Voltri; that on the next morning, another body of 3000 men followed the first column; and that in about seven or eight days, there will be, between Voltri and the su- burb of St Pirred, Arena, a whole division of the French army, of 14 or 15,000 men, commanded by Ge- neral Laharpe and by the two chiefs of brigade, Citizens Pigeon and Cervoni. The troops of the first column took up their quarters in the country houses of those no- blemen, and it appears that they Preferred the houses of those no- blemen who are known to be at- tached to the coalesced powers. It is said that near 300 men were quartered in the house of Mr. Hy- polite Durazzo, Senator, who late- ly spoke with a great animation in the small Council-Chamber, against the demands made by Commissary Salicetti.
As soon as the government were informed of the arrival of the French, the colleges assembled ex- traordinarily, and debated from six until eleven o'clock in the evening.
They resolved to order 2000 men of the militia to march from the East River into the town, in order to strengthen the garrison; and to publish a decree, ordering all the strangers to quit the capital.
This decree was stuck up yester- day, but it was put in execution the day before. It ordains, that all those who had written permissions to reside in Genoa, should quit the town if these permissions had not been renewed.
The Genoese are prohibited from receiving into their houses any stranger who has not a permission. All sailors are forced to flee on board: Officers are forbidden to en- ter Genoa without a cockade: se- veral who had left the town previ- ous to the publishing of the decree were not permitted to return. An English captain of a ship who wore the cockade, but no uniform, was refused admission.
The Colleges have taken other measures of police and of defence; they have appointed Committees for the different places which are to be occupied, by the French to maintain good order and to protect the inhabitants. It is said they will also nominate three Committees for Genoa, who will be invested with the same powers.
The near approach of the French causes great alarm here. A num- ber of inhabitants who have ho- uses on the bank of the river, have ordered their effects and furniture to be carried off. These removals even continued during Easter Sun- day.
BOSTON, June 20.
Friday last arrived at this port, the brig Mary Capt, Hewes, in 42 days from Falmouth, Eng. We are informed that Capt. Hewes reports that accounts had been received in England, of a very severe engage- ment between the French and Au- strians, on the Rhine, and that the Austrians were routed with great slaughter. We do not vouch for the authenticity of this report, as we have not conversed with the cap- tain. Our intelligence however came from a respectable gentleman, who had it from the Captain's mouth.
Friday last arrived here the Bri- tish packet Carteret, prize to the French privateer Eagle of 16 guns. The packet was from New-York, bound to Halifax. The Eagle has also captured the brig George, for- merly of Bolton, but now an En- glish Merchant vessel, and one of a fleet bound from London for Hal- ifax under the convoy of one fri- gate. She is said to be a very rich prize;—she arrived last evening.
The privateer Eagle also arrived here on Friday; as also the brig Earl Moira of 14 guns, from Hal- ifax.
Capt. Gerrish from Liverpool, in- forms, that a few days previous to his sailing, good American flour sold at 55s per bbl.
May 18, at St. Thomas's news came down that Victor Hughes had landed and taken the Saints, with 200 prisoners.
No Dutuh Squadron had reached Surinam, May 10—Though it was there said to have arrived at Cay- enne—to consist of 5 sail of the line and three frigates—to have troops on board—to be destined partly to Corracoa, and partly to Surinam. The latter part was hourly expect- ed. This is from Official authori- ty.
June 24.
FROM CADIZ, May 6.
Capt. Holbrook, from Cadiz, informs us, that admiral Richery's

Squadron was still lying there, al- most ready for sea, and actually in the lower road. Ten sail of Spanish men of war were also ly- ing in the roads, completely fitted for sea. One of these ships moun- ted 170 guns and rated at 144. Their destination was unknown.
The British admiral, Mann, was cruising in the Bay, with a fleet stronger than Richery's by 6 ships of the line. All the prizes were not sold.
Capt. Hooper saw a letter from the American consul at Malaga, which informed of the capture of 9 sail of Danish vessels off that place, by the Algerines, in conse- quence of which the Danes, lying in Cadiz, nearly ready for sea, were stripped for to wait a convoy. The letter mentions six Algerine cruizers to be off that place; and three months longer were allowed by the Dey for the receipt of the ratification of the American treaty; after which period, if he re- ceived no information upon the subject, captures would again be made.
The ratification of the Spanish and American treaty was received by the brig Jack, from New- York, six days before captain Hooper failed—and will now be completely in effect.
Extract of a letter from Halifax, June 12.
"Instead of peace, we are to have universal war:—Swedes, Danes, Russians, Turks and Span- iards; so that there is no knowing where the folly of men will end."
ALBANY, June 24. The federal troops left this city on Tuesday from Schenectady they will proceed to Niagara by water. Maj. Lewis returned through this city from Quebec, on Monday. He delivered to capt. Bluff lord Dorchester's orders to the com- manders of Oswego and Niagara, to deliver up those posts to the United States, immediately on the arrival of the federal troops.
The hon. Mr. Glen, (military agent) will accompany the troops to Niagara.
NEW-YORK, June 24. Extract of a letter from a respect- able Merchant at Gibraltar to a Mercantile House in New-York, dated May 9, per the brig Eliza via Philadelphia.
"Algerines have given 3 months for the United States to accomplish their agreement, which we hope will be time enough. We have some fear of a rupture with Spain on account of some uncommon preparations making in Cadiz within these few days."
CHARLESTON, June 28. Capt. Conolly informs, that the English cruizers have taken 16 sail of American vessels coming from French ports, among which is the sloop Polly, belonging to Mr. Trenholm of this city. The pre- text now used for condemnation, is, that every American resident in the French islands, is a citizen of France: of course, any produce shipped by them is a legal prize. The following intelligence is furnished by capt. Pelot, from Gi- braltar.
About the middle of April posi- tive accounts were received at Gi- braltar, from different parts of the Mediterranean, that the dey of Al- giers had declared war against the king of Denmark; that his cru- izers were out and had taken 8 sail of Danish merchantmen.
PHILADELPHIA, June 29. Arrived at Baltimore, the brig Alfred Cornelius G. Bowler, from Rhode Island, out ten days. In lat. 39, 50, long 73, 13, spoke with a schooner, name unknown, Stephen Brown master, from Aux Cayes, bound to Boston, out twenty five days.—Captain Brown informed that the French and English had a very close engagement at Leogane in which the English were obliged
to retreat into Port-au-Prince, and lost their gates with a very great loss of men. In lat. 37, 31, long. 74, 13, spoke with a ship from Ja- maica bound to Philadelphia with passengers, & a Bermuda Schooner privateer, on a cruise.
July 2. Extract of a letter from a gentle- man in Fort Royal, Martinique, to his correspondent in this town dated June 5.
"At Length St. Lucia has sur- rendered to the superior force of the British; great numbers have been killed and wounded on both sides, their wounded are arriving here every day. We are likewise informed that seven British 74's have arrived at point Petre."
The United States brig, Sophia, failed a few days ago from this port to Europe—She is to touch at Lisbon, for a short time, and from thence proceed to Algiers. We learn that the Sophia has on board the means of fulfilling the terms of our treaty with the dey and Re- gency of Algiers, for which pur- pose she is despatched by the execu- tive with capt. O'Brien on board.
The Intendant of Charleston, offers a reward of 1000 dollars for the discovery of any of the persons concerned in setting fire to the city in different places. The gover- nor of the state offers a full and free pardon to any person who shall turn state's evidence.
AUTHENTIC. We are informed, that orders have been transmitted by lord Dor- chester, to the officers commanding the several posts occupied by the British troops within the limits of the United States for their evacu- ation, and the duplicates thereof were delivered to capt. Lewis, who arrived in this city 17 days from Quebec.
ELIZABETHTOWN, June 29. SUMMARY.
The European sky still continues to lower, and the prospect of an u- niversal war in that quarter of the world seems to encrease.—The empress of Russia lately made a present of 3000 peafants to the duke of Polignac. Whilst we pi- ty the lot of these unhappy beings, who are liable to be transferred like beasts of burden, we should guard with care our own privi- leges, lest some insidious tyrant should, by imperceptible degrees, lay the foundation of our liberties and thus goad us round the race of slavery:—It is a truth which can- not be too often enforced upon the minds of freemen, that the genius of liberty should be eagle eyed. The conduct of the empress, not in this instance only, but during the whole course of her life, will display the proper employment of the female; whose disposition ac- cords not with the rough din of arms, or the intangled maze of poli- tics, but is best suited to the scenes of private life, and shines most when it is modest, domestic, unob- trusive. Though we may admire Elizabeth and Catharine as queens, yet we detest them when we re- collect that they have divested themselves of the loveliest idea of woman.—Among the effects be- longing to some French representa- tives, taken by the Austrians, was a plan of some operations, written so small as not to be read, but with a magnifying glass.— Col. Henry Brue, quarter-master in the British army during the A- merican war, lately died in En- gland, worth half a million ster- ling.—St. Lucia has at length yielded to the British arms; but the want of ammunition alone, obliged them finally to capitulate. The principal stipulations were, that the whites were allowed to conti- nue in possession of their estates, the regular troops to be sent to France, and the blacks to be sent to Africa. The loss of the British at this place, is said to amount to 2 or 3000 men.
AT HOME. We learn with pleasure that the accounts of the intended resigna- tion of the president were made without foundation, and that it is probable, notwithstanding these reports, that he will continue to fill the chair of state.—Mr. Pierce Butler, senator of the Uni- ted States, from the state of North- Carolina, has resigned his seat in senate.—Gardner Baker, pro- prietor of the Tamany Museum, New-York, is the person who is to accompany Blanchard in his a- erial voyage.—Our readers will recollect a dreadful fire at Can- ton, but a short time since:—ano- ther one broke out there on the 13th inst which consumed upwards of 300 buildings.—The emigra- tions to Kentucky the last year, are stated to be 9010.—A writer in Philadelphia paper, has bro't forward some heavy charges a- gainst gen. Wayne, commander in chief of the Western army, which he promises to substantiate in per- son, whenever the general shall come forward, and request an in- vestigation, upon fair and hono- rable ground. He affirms that hea- vy charges have long since been submitted against him to the war minister, and a public enquiry re- quested, by a man of honor and integrity, and a zealous friend and supporter of the national go- vernment. That the general's of- ficial communications respecting his march from Greenville into the Indian country, and the battle of August 21, 1794, are replete with falshood. That his conduct has been, in many instances, partial, oppressive and contrary to law. That he has not introduced, nor suffered, in the Western army, any just principle of discipline, or subordination. That his successes have been more the result of ac- cident than of preconceived mea- sures. That he has wasted the public property, trampled on the laws and violated every principle of justice, of humanity and of com- mon honesty.
The English report, and their friends repeat, that their forces in the West-Indies amount to 30,000 troops of the line. 1500 have been sent to Demerara, about 1600 are at St Domingo, 2 or 3000 scat- tered for the defence of their own islands; 24,000 at least ought to remain for active operation; yet for the attack of St Lucia they have been obliged to arm 4 or 5,000 negroes. What then has become of this formidable army which was to overrun the French colonial possessions? It exists only in the exaggerated accounts of the En- glish. It is a fact, that their squa- dron in St. Domingo, is still defici- ent of seamen, notwithstanding their frequent impressments of A- mericans—and when they want to send out three ships, they are obli- ged to strip those that remain in port of most of their hands to man those intended to cruise.

FOR SALE, FOUR HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND,
INCLUDING my Mills, Ware-houses, Ferry, Boat-yard, Orchards, Meadows, &c. Great part of the land is first rate—there is belonging to the mills about two thousand weight of wrought iron proper for merchant business—the walls of the lower story of the mill-house is found, as high as the mill-wheel—the water wheels have received little or no damage by the fire; and cogs and rounds well seasoned and ready—the race is planned at bottom & worked with stones on both sides, and the dam perhaps the best in the state, and the stream equal to any. The saw mill is now running and in good order, and the water may be put to the grist mill wheels any minute—the grist mills may be let to running in four weeks. Beam, chains and scales well ironed for the purpose of weighing tobacco; and beam, chains, weights & iron for scales; for weighing flour. Boats may come up from the river to the mills in high water—the whole beautifully situated for merchant business, at the mouth of Boon's creek; and may be inclosed with about 300 pannels of fence. Waggons may pass to and from the landing with such loads as can be carried on any other road. As I am determined to sell, I will give a credit of one or two years for the greatest part of the purchase money; and if I cannot get the value, will take the best price offered, and make an inalienable title. For terms apply to the subscriber near the premises. ELI CLEVELAND. June 22, 1796.

1779 Prizes. 3555 Blanks.
5334 Tickets, at 5 Dollars each is 26670 Subject to a discount of Fifteen per Centum.
As every encouragement ought to be given to manufactures in this state, this in particular claims the attention of the public. The many advantages which will arise from manufacturing Duck, must be so forcibly striking to every man of reflection, that the managers think it unnecessary to en- large on the subject; and the liberal princi- ple upon which the scheme is founded (not two blanks to a prize) will, exclusive of that encouragement, justify the speculative adventurer upon principles of gain. The managers therefore flatter themselves that they will meet with such encouragement in the sales of the tickets as will in a short time justify their appointing and giving pub- lic notice when the drawing of the lottery will commence.
Tickets may be had by applying in Lex- ington to messrs. John Bradford and Alexan- der McGregor, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, in Versailles to Doctor Preston, or to
J. GRANT, W. HENRY, } Managers. J. HAWKINS. }

As every encouragement ought to be given to manufactures in this state, this in particular claims the attention of the public. The many advantages which will arise from manufacturing Duck, must be so forcibly striking to every man of reflection, that the managers think it unnecessary to enlarge on the subject; and the liberal principle upon which the scheme is founded (not two blanks to a prize) will, exclusive of that encouragement, justify the speculative adventurer upon principles of gain. The managers therefore flatter themselves that they will meet with such encouragement in the sales of the tickets as will in a short time justify their appointing and giving public notice when the drawing of the lottery will commence.
Tickets may be had by applying in Lexington to Messrs. John Bradford and Alexander M'Gregor, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, in Versailles to Doctor Priston, or to
