ARMY OF ITALY.
Head quarters at Milan, August 1, 1797. The commander in chief to the executive directory.
Citizens Directors.
"After 15 days successful navigation, the fleet which sailed from Venice, composed of several ships of the line and some frigates, under the command of capt. Bourde, having on board some troops, commanded by gen. Gentily, has anchored in Corfu road. Four Venetian men of war, which were there, have joined the squadron."
"On the 23th of June our troops were disembarked, and took possession of the forts of Corfu, where they found 600 pieces of cannon, the greater part of which were brass. A great crowd stood on the shore to welcome our troops, with all that exultation of joy and enthusiasm which ever animates a people when they recover their liberty."
"At the head of this assembly of people, was the papa, or chief of the religion of the country, and far advanced in years. He approached gen. Gentily, and said to him, — "Frenchman, you will find in this isle a people ignorant of the sciences and of the arts which distinguish nations; do not however despise it on that account; it may one day become what it has been; learn from this book to respect it." The general with much curiosity opened the book which the papa presented him, and was not a little astonished to find that it was the Odyssay of Homer."
"The isles of Zante, Cephalona, and St. Maure, have the same desires, and express the same wishes, and the same sentiments for liberty. The tree of liberty is planted in every village; municipalities govern every commune; and these people hope, under the patronage of a great nation, to recover those sciences, arts and commerce, which they had lost under the tyranny of the Olygarcs."
"The isle of Corcyra, was, according to Homer, the country of the princess Nausic. Citizen Arnaud, who deservedly enjoys a great reputation for his knowledge of the Belles Lettres, informs me, that he is about to embark, in order to plant the tricoloured flag on the ruins of the palace of Ulysses."
"The chief of the Maniotes, the true descendents of the Spartans, and who occupy the peninsula on which the cape Malpan is situated, has sent one of the chiefs of the country to me to express his strong desire to see some French ships in his port, and to be useful to the great people."

LONDON, August 10.
A reconciliation, it is said has been effected between the Directory and the Council of Five Hundred, in consequence of a meeting and explanation that has taken place between Rewbell and Larivilliere, and some members who were deputed by the two committees of inspectors, appointed by the Council. The article which certainly is the most curious of those that we have extracted from these papers, is that relative to an ORLEANS FACTION, which the Journalist says is now easily discoverable. For some time past the Censeur des Journaux, and one or two other papers of little authority, it is true, insisted on the existence of a strong Orleans Party. We confess, however, that we always disregarded what they said on the subject, as we never could trace out any thing which tended to give colour to such a supposition. The following article, however, as it is taken from a Journal of some estimation certainly deserves particular notice.
The report of the committee, an account of which has been published in all the newspapers, has not been attended with all the consequences some people seemed to apprehend. Paris still enjoys the greatest tranquillity, and as far as I can judge from the language of most of the inhabitants with whom I had occasion to converse, they all seemed determined to remain neutral as far as they can. The spirit of moderation which seems to have dictated that report, the Ani des Loix attributes to Angereau's having been appointed commandant of Paris, and the whole military division, which, says he, has forced the committee to
change the plan, to withdraw the act of accusation which they intended to propose against the Directory, and to make their report as mild as possible.
Meanwhile both parties accuse each other in meditating the first blow. The royalists pretend that the Jacobins have introduced into Paris vast numbers of soldiers and terrorists in disguise, while the republicans assert (and in this it must be owned that they are not entirely mistaken) that the metropolis is now full of emigrants.
The Censeur des Journaux asserts, that the appearance of so many soldiers should not alarm the inhabitants of Paris; that it has always been the custom both before and since the revolution, when any regiment in its march came within 12 or 15 leagues of that city, for numbers of soldiers to desert during the space of two or three days, in order to enjoy the pleasures of the metropolis, and then to join their corps by a forced march; and that such a deviation from the rules of military discipline has ever been overlooked by the officers.
Both parties still carry on the war of pamphlet and posted bills. Yesterday the cry of the hawker was — Le Masque errach ou le général Pichegru traite comme il merite — "The masquer pulled off or general Pichegru treated as he deserves." This morning a bill appeared under the title of Faits — "Facts." It gives a rapid description of the state of the republic before and since the arrival of the Nouveau Tiers; it states that before the arrival of the new deputies the funds were at high prices, England and Austria most humbly suing for peace, the young men of the requisition on the point of being sent home to their families; in short, every thing at that time wore a most promising appearance, but now, that the funds are fallen to 15 per cent. the pretensions of our enemies more extravagant than ever, peace entirely to be despaired of, &c. He concludes with the following question — What has happened then to produce such an alarming change? — The arrival of a New Tiers ."
What is surprising these bills remain only a very short time on the walls. It seems both parties have people to tear them off as soon as they are stuck up!
August 12.
At a late hour last night we received by express, the Paris Journals of the 7th and 8th inst. and Brussels papers to the 7th inst. The most material articles in the French papers relate to the renewal of the negotiations at Lisle. A letter from that place dated the 4th, and inserted in L'Eclair of the 8th, says: — "The conferences lately suspended for 12 days, have been renewed this day, and some hopes yet remain for them. It appears certain, however, that the peace will not take place until a proper understanding between the councils and directory shall be restored."
Upon the same topic the republican Francois , a respectable journal, deemed half official, says, "As to a peace, all that is known on the subject is, that the negotiations, which had been suspended at Lisle and Montebello, have been resumed, and thro' the exertions of the new minister (M. Tallyrand Perigord) are now actually in a good train."
The poor King of Sardinia's whole territories, are in a terrible state of anarchy. In many places the inhabitants are in insurrection against the government, and stile themselves sovereign people. Buonaparte affects to condemn their conduct, and threatens to march against them.
On the 24th ult. the diet had a meeting at Ratisbon, in which the greater part of the deputies delivered their opinion, that the political and geographical integrity of the empire ought to be insisted upon in the negotiation for peace.
A message from the directory, dated the 9th of August, in answer to one which they had received from the council of five hundred, requesting information relative to the march of the troops in the interior, was sent, it appears, to that council on the following day. This message, written in a tone of confidence, and conscious rectitude — states, that the coalesced powers had lately manifested (apparently in consequence of the manner in which the council of five hundred had conducted itself towards the directory,) as much tardiness in their pro-
ceedings relative to the negotiations, as they at first discovered readiness to enter into them.
Nothing official has been published respecting the negotiations at Lisle: we are told in Perlet's journal , that they continue with increased activity.
Gen. Hoche, in a letter directed to the directory, affects to justify to that body the orders given him for the march of the troops towards Paris. This he does by pretending, that they were destined for an expedition against Ireland.
Lafayette and his companions are not yet at liberty. It is said in the French papers that the directory have insisted on the performance of the emperor's promise to set them at liberty, and have declared that they shall consider this act of justice as a pledge of the sincerity of his pacific intentions.
The Genoese republic has changed its name. It is now called the republic of Liguria, and this latter title the archbishop has adopted in his liturgy.
August 15.
We have received by express, the Paris Journal of the 11th and 12th inst.
The following message, which appears in the Redacteur will shew that Portugal has concluded Peace with the French Republic. The terms perhaps are not such as this country could have wished; but let them be what they will, they must be favorable to our wishes for peace; for now our negotiators can make no pretext for delay on account of the interests of our good and faithful allies!
August 16.
Government received yesterday a dispatch from Paris, announcing the fact we laid before our readers, of a treaty of peace having been concluded between the French republic and the court of Lisbon; and early this morning, Mr. Brooks, the messenger arrived with dispatches from lord Malmesbury, respecting the same event and the effect it has had on the negotiations at Lisle. No communication is allowed between the vessel that brought over Mr. Brooks and the people on shore.
It is impossible to convey any adequate idea of the effect produced upon the public mind by the intelligence of this treaty having been concluded without the interference of our cabinet, and in opposition to its views — it indicated a feeling of national degradation truly humiliating. The funds, of course, experienced a considerable fall: the three per cent. left off yesterday at 50 3-4 and opened this morning at 50 1-2 a 5-8.
It is in vain to speak of the ingratitude of this last of our allies, as we have spoken of the ingratitude of all who have previously deserted us. Self preservation is the first law of nations as well as of individuals, and this act of the court of Portugal is a proof that England is no longer capable of giving protection to her friends. It is a bitter cup; but we must drink it. We have courted the rod, and we must submit to the chastisement.
The extracts which we have given from the French papers, are of considerable importance. They open a scene of contention, the result of which it is impossible to anticipate. The directory has at length given its answer to the message of the councils; in which, though it explains with candor the suspicious circumstances of the event of the march of the troops, it addresses the assembly in language so significant and unequivocal on their late proceedings, that instead of the compromise which was expected from the prudence if not from the patriotism of the two sides, it is a provocation to hostility on the question at issue between them. The debate in the council of five hundred shews the impression the answer made on the legislature.
What the result of this conflict will be, we again say it is not easy to conjecture. The directory invested with all the executive power of the immense territory of the republic — with all her armies cordially attached to its way — with all the attractive charms of an incessant career of aggrandizement, in which a single week is never suffered to pass without adding some new kingdom to the empire, either by conquest or treaty, or breaking off from the league of their enemies some important power — with the recommendation of having procured abundance, and restored luxury to Paris — with all the force of the country obedient to its command, and the multitude indiffe-
rent to its acts — and opposed to a legislature broken into factions in which the very virtues of the good have been surprized into an alliance with the passions of the wicked, certainly stands fair for triumph in the contest; but on the other side it is to be considered that opinions, transitory in all climates, is peculiarly so in France; and how long the people and armies shall continue firm against the latter of the two, the still, inuendo and force of which were never exerted with more variety nor more cunning of attack in any age than now in the republic, it is impossible to say. At no period of the revolution has the crisis been more interesting, nor presented more curiosity to the accurate observer. It shall be our task to watch the progress with the most vigilant care, and to state the occurrences with the most rigid impartiality.
Should lord Malmesbury return unsuccessful from his present mission, parliament will be convened almost immediately, for the purpose of voting twenty five millions sterling more for the continuance of the war. This accounts for the new power of convening parliament at so short a notice. Formerly the public money was modestly drawn for by ministers at a few days grace; now it is done more sweepingly by bills at sight.
Mr. Brooks, the messenger, arrived this morning at the secretary of state's office, with dispatches from lord Malmesbury at Lisle.
We have no reason to believe that there is any prospect of a speedy peace. On the contrary, we should not be surprised at hearing of a renewal of hostilities.
The Dutch, it seems, insist on a restitution of their colonies; and the French government is determined to support their republican ally.
NORFOLK, September 28.
By a gentleman passenger in the Danish Ship Christian Haven , capt. Patrick Gorran, arrived yesterday in 43 days from Teneriffe, we have received the following.
DEFEAT OF THE BRITISH AT TENERIFFE
On the Morning of the 22d July, the town of Santa Cruz was alarmed at the appearance of 7 British ships lying off, and 36 armed boats that ranged across the harbor. It seemed evidently their intention to have landed in town before day, but sailing in that attempt, they returned to the shipping. At 10 o'clock, about 1200 men were landed, and posted themselves upon the summit of a second ridge of mountains on the N. E. while the Spaniards were stationed on the first ridge, which commands the entrance into the town by a narrow passage. Some trifling firing ensued, without loss on either side. At night the English re-embarked, & the ships stood off and on until the evening of the 24th, when they all came to anchor.
A bomb ketch commenced a partial fire on a distant fort, by way of attracting the attention of the Spaniards which was warmly returned. Between one and two o'clock, the town was alarmed by the approach of boats, and the forts instantly commenced a heavy and incessant fire upon them. The darkness of the night favored the views of the English, and between 8 and 9 o'clock landed in two parties on each side of the castle. One small party of 90 men commanded by admiral Nelson, and captain Bowen landed on the Mole; the first lost his right arm, and immediately returned on board. Captain Bowen, with most of his little party was killed advancing to the charge. The other party penetrated into the town, assaulted the castle, were repulsed and at last took refuge in a convent. Thither they were pursued by the Spaniards, who by this time, had placed cannon in the streets and avenues leading to it. The English finding themselves surrounded on every side, offered terms to the general, in which they proposed to march out without doing injury to the town, upon condition of being delivered the money in the public treasury, and the cargo of a Manilla ship in the harbor, which they erroneously supposed to be worth 30 or 40 millions.
The Spanish general was fired with indignation at the proposals, and was about giving the signal for massacre, when they surrendered upon condition of marching out with their arms.

and not serving in any expedition against the Canary Islands for twelve months. The loss of the English was about 100 killed and wounded on shore, and the officers supposed between 150 and 200 drowned in a cutter that was sunk and from their boats in landing. The Spaniards under arms were 13 killed and 13 wounded, together with some private persons who were imprudently in the streets, among whom was Mr. C. Roomy, an Irish gentleman, known for his humanity to the distressed, and generous assistance and attention to foreigners who visit the islands.
The capitulation being signed and the prisoners collected on the Mole, the Spanish general caused bread and wine to be given to every man, ordered every assistance to the wounded, and humanely offered to take those under his care, who should be thought too ill to be carried on board. He received a very handsome letter from admiral Nelson, in which was expressed unbounded gratitude for his humanity, adding, that he would take the first opportunity of communicating it to his sovereign.
The British officers very honorably declared that their intention was not to have kept possession of the island had they taken it, as they supposed that peace was at that time concluded; but only to require the money in the treasury and the cargo of the Manilla ship. It was not unreasonable in their enemies to presume that as that requisition would not have amounted to one tenth of the sum they expected, it would have been raised from their private property.
The persons who composed the expedition were sailors, the crews of the different vessels.
The following are the ships engaged in this expedition.
Theseus 74 { Vice A. Nelson, Capt. Miller. Culloden 74 Capt. Trubridge. Zealous 74—Hood. Leander 50—Thompson. Emerald 36—Waller. Sea Horse 32—Freemantle. Terpsichore 36—Bowen. Fox, cutter 4 Lieut. Gibson, with ten pieces of artillery, sunk by the fort, and upwards of 100 men on board perished.
NEW-YORK, October 5. IMPORTANT.
A report was current in town yesterday, but by what authority we are not authorized to say, that a vessel arrived at Boston on Sunday, from Guernsey, in a short passage, who spoke a vessel at sea, the captain of which informed him, that he was eye witness to an engagement between the Spanish and English fleets, having laid to several hours to observe their manoeuvres, and when he parted with them the action was undecided. This day's Eastern mail will decide as to the validity of this account. Argus
CINCINNATI, October 14, 1797.
We are authorized to say, that a post is to be established on the Mississippi, at some point between Kahokia and Kaskaskias, to be commanded by major Hunt—the troops who are to compose this garrison descend the Wabash from Fort Wayne—general Wilkinson goes with them—the garrison will consist of 250 men—the garrison of Fort Massac is to be augmented to 300 men. A few of arms, it seems is immediately necessary on the upper part of the Mississippi, to suppress an insurrection at Kaskaskias.
It is said that Fort Recovery, together with some stores which it contained, has been burnt by the Indians—particulars not received.
WANTED,

FROM A LONDON PAPER.
From the outset of the French republic to the present hour, they have not deviated for a single instant from the plan which they originally formed. To disjoin the allies, and to treat with each of the belligerent powers singly—to lay the foundation of maritime strength, and to point the whole force of the war against the vitals of Great Britain—was the system which they formed on seeing us, without provocation, as they say, enter into the confederacy, and feed it with all the resources of our then prosperous empire. They have pursued this system with unceasing ardor. No change of men, or government, has given any interruption to their progress, or occasioned the slightest variation in their scheme.
Compare this steadiness of design and unity of object with the flexibility, various, and unsteady politics of our government! A system of war which was never accurately defined, has been changed with every turn of fortune. While the French were assiduously pursuing a great and intelligible principle for their country, our ministers were only grappling to get offices for themselves; and accordingly, whatever could serve to disguise their true motives, to conceal their designs, to raise up new bubbles as the old burst, to continue delusion, and to conciliate prejudices, has been their measures. Both the systems have succeeded hitherto, and are likely to succeed. The French government will incorporate all Europe with their country; the English ministers will preserve to themselves the honour of office.
Rousseau somewhere observes, that the English are free but once in seven years. Had he been alive now, he would probably have changed his opinion, and said, that they are just as free at one time as at another.
It has been remarked by foreigners, that there are in Paris four and twenty play houses, and only three prisons. In London there are three play houses and four and twenty prisons.

BIBLE.
FOUR different sizes of the Bible have now passed through the press of the proprietor of this paper, viz. — Folio, with fifty copperplate representations of Scripture History—Royal Quarto, with and without Concordance.—Large demy Octavo with and without Apocrypha—and, demy 12mo. or the common small Bible: This last is just issued from the press, the types for which were procured at a great expense, are exceedingly well executed, and employed a number of workmen 4 years to compleat them. They are now all standing, and are to be so kept, ready at all times for the press, in the same manner as they are at the royal printing-offices in London and Edinburgh, and the University printing houses of Oxford and Cambridge in England: A constant supply (of coarse and fine copies) bound or in sheets, and in any quantity, will be kept for sale by the editor, at the Worcester bookstore. As the execution of the plan on which this small bible is printed, in order to make the price proportionably low to those imported from Scotland and England, has been attended with a very heavy expense to the undertaker, and employed a larger capital than any work issued from an American press, he hopes suitable encouragement will be given to the undertaking.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
NATURE'S HANDY WORK.
(BY A LADY.)
NATURE, upon a frugal day, Took up by chance, a clod of clay, And formed a human creature: But when she came to store the mind, No qualities the dame could find Save pettish and ill nature.
In vain the search'd her cab'net round; No living virtue could be found, Which put her in passion— No vice nor virtue yet made— "But I've found something—tho'—"(she said) And gave him affectation.
That done, she mus'd if he was fit To be a lawyer—parson—wit— Physician—twould not do, for— To be a coxcomb was his fate, She, laughing, tapp'd his empty pate, And cry'd go be a beau, fit.
And now he practices those arts Which steal the ladies futile hearts. His character most true is, But my description hear I end, I hear you whisper to your friend, "Should this be Little L —"
ANECDOLE.
Two brothers, in former days, citizens of the neighboring state, had partaken very differently of fortune's favors. The one, Peter, in virtue of being an elder brother, inherited a fine farm, flowing (as the saying is) with milk and honey. The other, Nathan, in consequence was condemned to a miserable spot of land on the edge of a pine barren, at three or four miles distance from Peter's flourishing settlement. As Nathan's lands produced nothing, he now and then made an excursion in the night to Peter's smoke house, and by means of a false key possessed himself of some of the "world's wicked bacon" from his brother's plenteous store. Peter, like a prudent man, had kept a strict eye from year to year on his smoke house, and had for some time past observed that certain things had walked out by means not to be accounted for. He at last resolved to keep a strict watch in person; and placing himself in a snug corner of the smoke house, watched all night. About the dawn of the morning he heard a key enter that lock into which no key had a right to enter but his own. Open swung the door, when, lo! in steals Nathan and unhangs two or three flitches of bacon in a jerk, within six inches of Peter's nose, without seeing him; and was making off—'WHO ARE YOU?' exclaimed Peter, in a severe, heart breaking tone of voice; at the same time seizing the fellow by the collar—Nathan, no way discomposed, answered aloud, 'Why d—n you, Peter it is me.'
