ARMY OF RESERVE.
BATTLE OF MARINGO.
Report to the commander in chief from Alexander Berthier.
To obtain possession of Milan, effect a junction with the division of gen. Moncey, cut off the retreat of the enemy to Brescia. Orsinovi, Marcaria and Plaisance, to gain the immense magazines of the enemy, prevent their communications, and secure their deposits, their sick & artillery, such were the orders issued, whilst our army observed the motions of that of the enemy, harassed them on the Po, and effected the passage of that river before Stradella. The activity of our movements were preparatory to the accomplishment of those objects; the genius of Buonaparte profited by them.
The enemy beaten at Montebello, were successively reinforced by troops, under the command of generals Elsnitz, and Bellegarde. I was informed, that Melas had assembled all his forces at Alessandria. It was important to prevent his ulterior movements. With this view every thing was arranged.
The enemy had the alternative either of advancing towards Genoa, and penetrating into Tuscany on passing the Po and the Taro, in order to gain Mantua, or of forcing their way by giving battle to our army: or finally of shutting themselves up in Turin.
The divisions of Chabran and Lapoupe, received orders to guard the Po. The detachment left at Yorea observed the Orco, the corps of general Moncey, occupied Plaisance, observed Bobbio, guarded the Taro, the Sesia, and the Oglio, from the source of that river to the Po, and extended its observation towards Peschiera, and Mantua. The Italian legion occupied Brescia, and the remainder of the army, with Buonaparte at their head, marched against the enemy.
On the 24th Prairial (June 12) at day-break, the army directed its march towards Tortona and Castel Nuovo di Scrivia. The corps of general Victor, which formed the advanced guard, passed the Scrivia at Dora. That of general Lannes obtained possession of Castel Nuovo, where the enemy abandoned 1500 sick, among whom were 600 in a state of recovery, and ready to resume active service in the army. The corps under the orders of general Delfaix took a position near Ponte Curone. The same day the army marched towards San Giuliano, which the advanced guard of the enemy evacuated, for the purpose of occupying a position at Maringo. They were attacked by the division of Gardanne, supported by the 24th light infantry, and forced to retire to the bridge on the Bormida, after having lost two pieces of cannon, and 180 prisoners.
The enemy refused to give us battle in the plain of San Giuliano and Maringo, where they might have derived the utmost advantage from their numerous cavalry. We had every reason to presume they would not have attacked us after we had acquired a knowledge of the ground and their situation, and that their object was either to pass the Po and the Taro, or advance against Genoa and Bobbio. Measures were taken to oppose them with sufficient force on the road from Alessandria to Genoa, and on the left bank of the Po, the passage of which it was supposed they would attempt at Castel or at Valence. A division of the corps under the command of gen. Delfaix, advanced towards Rivolta by turning Tortona. Flying bridges were established on the heights of Castel Nuovo, in order expeditiously to pass the Po, and by a movement in flank, united the divisions on the left bank of that river. But on the 25th (14th June,) at seven in the morning, the divisions of Gardanne, which formed our advanced guard, were attacked. The enemy, by the development of their forces, manifested the object of their plans. The troops under the command of gen. Victor were immediately ranged in order of battle. One part of it formed the centre, which occupied the village of Maringo; another formed the left wing, which extends to the Bormida; the corps of gen. Lannes constituted the right wing. The army formed into two lines, and had its wings supported by a formidable corps of cavalry.
The enemy made successive attacks, advanced towards Figorolo, by proceeding up the Bormida; their centre by the great road; and their left by Castel Ceriolo. gen. Victor informed me that he was attacked by the whole of the enemy's forces. I immediately marched the reserve of the cavalry, and the corps of gen. Delfaix, from which I however except the division which had been directed against Seraville.
The first conflict rushed with eagerness to the field of battle. On arriving there we found the action general. Both sides fought with equal fury. Gen. Gardanne sustained, for two hours, the attack of the right and the centre of the enemy, without losing an inch of ground, notwithstanding the inferiority of his artillery. The brigade under the command of general Killerman, composed of the 2d and 20th regiments of cavalry, and of the 8th of dragoons, supported the left of general Victor. The 44th and the 10th of the line bravely maintained their former well earned reputation.
Gen. Victor sent orders to the brigade of cavalry of gen. Duvignen; but that general had quitted without authority the command of his brigade: this circumstance retarded the execution of our movements. Two hundred men of that corps were commanded to proceed up the Bormida & observe the motions of the enemy; the rest received orders to support the left of the army; and they conducted themselves with valour. Gen. Gardanne, obliged to quit his position as advanced guard, retired, and took an oblique position. The right was to the village of Maringo, and the left towards the left bank of the Bormida—In this new situation he took in flank the column which marched towards Maringo, and directed a terrible and slaughtering fire of musketry. The ranks of that corps were thunderstruck: they hesitated a while. Already had they begun to give way in many parts, but they received new reinforcements and continued their march. General Victor successively disposed the 24th light infantry, and 43d and 96th of the line, to defend the village of Maringo.
While these movements were executing the brigade of gen. Killerman supported the left. The 8th dragoons charged and cut to pieces a column of the enemy's cavalry, but they were charged in their turn by superior forces. The 2d and 20th regiments of cavalry supported them, and made more than 100 prisoners. The left of the enemy advanced towards Castel Ceriolo. Their centre always receiving fresh reinforcements, attempted to gain possession of the village of Maringo, where they took 400 prisoners, who were in one of the houses.
Some of our cannoniers who were in want of cartridges, abandoned the field of battle in disorder, and the enemy encouraged by their success, charged with additional impetuosity. Gen. Lannes received them with advantage. The line, exposed as it was, resisted the artillery, & maintained the charge of the cavalry, but he could not repel the enemy without experiencing an attack from the left. He sent the 40th demi-brigade to reinforce the division of Chamberlac, who lost ground. The enemy repeatedly repulsed in the centre, returned to the charge, and finished by surrounding the village of Maringo. General Victor ordered the reserve to make a retrograde movement.
General Lannes then finding himself attacked by forces infinitely superior, two lines of infantry marched to his assistance with a formidable artillery. The division of Watrin, and the 28th remained unshaken. On the point of being turned by a considerable corps, they were supported by the brigade of dragoons under the command of gen. Champeaux. This change of position of general Victor obliged gen. Lannes to follow the same movement.
The first consul, informed that the reserve of gen. Delfaix was not yet ready, immediately hastened in person to the division of Lannes to favour his retreat. In the mean time the enemy advanced. He ordered the 72d demi-brigade to make different movements—he endeavoured to take the enemy in flank, and charge at the head of that demi-brigade; but a general cry issued from the ranks, "we will not suffer the first consul to expose himself!" This exclamation was followed by an interesting struggle among the troops, who unmindful of their own danger thought
only of their chief. However they gained time.
The retreat was soon effected, under the fire of eighty pieces of artillery, which preceded the march of the Austrian battalions, and vomited forth a shower of balls among our ranks. They manoeuvred with the same coolness as if they had been merely performing their exercise. The rank, which had been just in a manner annihilated, was immediately succeeded by other brave troops. Never was there beheld a movement more regular, or more striking.
The enemy believed themselves sure of victory. A numerous cavalry, supported by many squadrons of light artillery, pressed upon our right, and threatened to turn our army. The grenadiers of the consular guard marched to support the right; they advanced and sustained three successive charges. At that moment arrived the division of Moonier, which formed part of the army of reserve. I directed two demi-brigades against the village of Castel Ceriolo, with orders to charge the battalions which supported the enemy's cavalry. The corps traversed the plain, and obtained possession of Castel Ceriolo, after having repulsed a charge of cavalry; but our centre and our left continued their retrograde movements. They were soon obliged to evacuate that village, and in retiring followed the motion of the army, surrounded by the enemy's cavalry, which they held in check.
The army arrived at the plain of San Giuliano, where the reserve under the command of general Delfaix was formed into two lines, flanked on the right by twelve pieces of artillery commanded by general Marmont, and supported on the left by the cavalry under the command of general Killerman. The first consul exposed himself to a most vigorous fire of the enemy, ran through the ranks to encourage the soldiers, and stopped their retrograde movement. It was now four in the afternoon.
Gen. Delfaix at the head of the brave 9th light infantry, darted with impetuosity into the midst of the enemy's battalions, and charged them with the bayonet. The remainder of Boudet's division followed this movement on the right. The whole army advanced in two lines with charging step. The enemy, astonished, withdrew its artillery; its infantry began to fall back. Gen. Delfaix received a mortal ball. The death of this brave officer, whose loss France will long lament in tears, inflamed the heroes whom he commanded with new ardour; they all, burning with revenge, precipitated themselves with fury upon the first line of the enemy's infantry, which resisted, after having fallen back on the second line. They both at once made a charge with the bayonet. Our battalion stooped for a moment: but general Killerman ordered a charge of 800 cavaliers who defeated the enemy, and made 6000 prisoners, among whom are general Zagge, chief of the staff of the Austrian army, general St. Julien, several other generals, and almost all the officers of the staff.
The enemy had still a third line of infantry, supported by the remainder of their artillery, and all their cavalry. Gen. Lannes, with the division of Watrin, the grenadiers of the consular guard and the division of Boudet, marched against the line, and were supported in their charge by the artillery under the command of gen. Marmont. The cavalry, under the command of gen. Murat.—The horse grenadiers, commanded by the chief of brigades, Boffiers, charged in their turn, the enemy's cavalry, obliged them to fall back with precipitation, and put them to route. The rear guard was cut to pieces. The enemy, in disorder arrived on the bridge of the Bormida, where they fought for an hour in the dark. Night alone saved the remains of the Austrian army.
This day cost the enemy twelve stand of colours, twenty-six pieces of cannon & 15000 men, of whom 3000 were killed, 5000 wounded, and 7000 made prisoners. Seven of their generals, and more than 400 of their officers were wounded.—We have to regret from seven to 900 killed 2000 wounded, and 1,100 made prisoners. Among the wounded are the generals of brigade, Rivaud, Champeaux, Mallet, Mamoni.
Never was a battle more obstinate; never was a victory disputed with more fury. The Austrians and French mutually admired the courage of their enemies.
The two armies were engaged for fourteen hours within musket shot. On this memorable day troops of every description covered themselves with glory. To mention all the heroes who have distinguished themselves would be to name all the officers and more than a half of the soldiers. General Victor pays homage to coolness and talents displayed by Gen. Rivaud, and citizens Pares and Brison, chiefs of the 24th and 43d demi brigades. Gen. Lannes shewed on this day the calmness of the old general Gen. Watrin who every where seconded him deserves the highest eulogiums. His brother, who was assistant to the adjutant general, was killed at his side. The chief of brigade, Salabert, of the 21st, and the chief of battalion, Thiobin, the general of brigade, Geney, citizen Molson, chief of brigade of the 6th light infantry, citizen Alix, chief of squadron of the 20th regiment of cavalry, have particularly distinguished themselves. Adjt. gen. Nogues has given proofs of his bravery. Gen. Murat, who has rendered so much service in this campaign, extols the courage and talents of gen. Killerman, who much contributed to the victory. Adjutant-general Cæsar Berthier, has displayed talent, activity, and courage; Gen. Murat praises him for his services in this campaign. The chief of brigade Boffiers, commander of the horse consular guard seized with precision the moment for attacking with advantage. The success with which he manoeuvred in front of the enemy with a very inferior force assigns him a distinguished rank. Citizen Regors, captain of the foot consular guard, is wounded. The chief of squadron, Colbert, merits the rank of Adjutant-general.
IRISH PARLIAMENT.
SPEECH
Of Mr. FRANCIS DOBBS, Member for the Borough of Charlemont, in Ireland, on the third reading of the Union Bill. During the first ten minutes after Mr. Dobbs began to speak, some Members thought proper to laugh, but afterwards the most profound silence prevailed in the House till the speech was concluded.
SIR, from the conduct pursued by Administration during this session, and the means that were known to be in their power, it was not very difficult to foresee that this bill must reach that chair. It was not very difficult to foresee that it would fall to your lot to pronounce the painful words, "That this Bill do pass." Awful, indeed, would those words be to me, did I consider myself living in ordinary times; but, feeling as I do, that we are not living in ordinary times—feeling as I do, that we are living in the most momentous & eventful period of the world—feeling as I do, that a new & better order of things is about to rise, and that Ireland, in that new order of things, is to be highly distinguished indeed, this bill has no terrors for me.
Sir, I did intend to have gone at some length into history and sacred predictions: but as I purpose in a very few months, to give to the public a work, in which I shall fully express my opinion as to the vast design of this terrestrial creation, I shall for the present confine myself to such passages as will support three positions:—The first is, the certainty of the second advent of the Messiah; the next, the signs of the times of his coming, and the manner of it; and the last, that Ireland is to have the glorious pre-eminence of being the first kingdom that will receive him.
In chapter 2d of the Book of Daniel, there is a most concise, sublime and comprehensive description of the four greatest empires that ever were in the world, under the figure of a great Image, in the shape of a man. It is agreed by Sir Isaac Newton, and every Commentator of eminence, that the head of gold was the Assyrian and Babylonish Empire; that its breast and arms of silver were the Medo-Persian Empire; that its belly and thighs of brass were the Grecian Empire; and its legs of iron were the Roman Empire. But Sir Isaac Newton well observes, that by the legs of iron was only meant Italy, and those countries which never composed any part of the three first Empires; and when the Roman Empire was divided into Eastern and Western, under two distinct emperors, in the fourth century, the Western was made up of those countries accordingly. The feet and toes of the I—

Image, which relate to the Western Roman Empire, are described by Daniel to be partly iron, partly clay, partly strong and partly broken, and as iron and clay do not unite neither were they to unite. —Now the exact accomplishment of this is highly worthy of attention. By the ten toes it was predicted that it should be divided into ten kingdoms, and Sir Isaac Newton proves that this was so in the year 408. It was after this division, to be part strong and so were these kingdoms, for the followers of Mahomet and the Turks could make no permanent conquest within the bounds of the Western Roman Empire. It was also to be in part broken in its power, and so were these kingdoms, for they in vain poured forth their millions of crusades into Asia, without being able to make any permanent conquest there. As iron and clay do not unite, neither have they been united, from the year 408 to the present day. In vain did Charlemagne attempt it—in vain did the Emperor Charles V. attempt it—in vain did Louis XIV. attempt it: No, the God of Heaven had declared that it should remain in a divided state, till an Universal Kingdom was established on the earth. Kings and their Ministers without knowing it, have accomplished the fulfilment of this astonishing prophecy, and that Balance of Power which has for so many centuries been attended to in Europe, is neither more nor less than keeping up that broken state of the Western Roman Empire.
Before I go into the remainder of the prophecy as to these kingdoms into which the Western Empire was broken, it is curious to contemplate what has happened within that boundary, in the course of the last ten years. France dethroning and putting to death her Monarch, and going through a variety of bloody revolutions—the Austrian Netherlands taken from their ancient line of princes, and made part of France—Holland revolutionized, and her Stadholder sent into exile—Switzerland revolutionized—Venice annihilated as a state—all Italy for a time revolutionized, and though reduced by the Austrian and Russian forces, yet still in a state entirely unsettled—the late Pope bereft of all his temporal dominions and dying a prisoner in France, the new Pope not even elected at or residing in Rome—Spain bordering on revolution—Portugal in danger either of being revolutionized or subdued—the affairs of Germany and the house of Austria in a critical situation—and Great Britain engaged in an arduous war to which we can see no termination. Thus Sir, the whole, I may say, of what was the Western Empire, and which contains the most polished nations of the earth, is convulsed from one end to the other. But the next and last part of the prophecy of the 2d chapter of Daniel will tell us the winding up of those eventful scenes.
After having described the Image, Daniel proceeds, and says he beheld a stone cut out without hands, which smote the Image on his feet, that were of iron and clay and brake them to pieces. —Then were the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away and no place was found for them: & the stone that smote the Image, became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. To know more exactly what is meant by this stone, we have only to read the 7th chapter of Daniel. There the four great empires are more minutely treated of under the description of four beasts, and instead of the ten kingdoms being described by toes, they are made the ten horns of the fourth beast—and when their destruction is mentioned in these words, “I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of Man, came with the clouds of Heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, & they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” There cannot therefore be a doubt, but that the stone, and the personage thus pointed out, is the Messiah, and so does Sir Isaac, and all the best of the commentators explain those passages; and there are many texts in the scripture that corroborate this explanation. But for my own part, if there was not any other passage in the Bible, than what is to be found in the 2d and 7th chapters of Daniel, nor any other commentator than Sir Isaac Newton, I should not have a doubt of the certainty of the second coming of the Messiah.
I shall however add what is the opinion of the Jewish nation, because it ought to have great weight, as they are in fact a standing miracle; but I shall first premise the exact accomplishment of the prophe-
cy as to them, which has already taken place. Moses, near three thousand years ago, predicted that they should be plucked from their land; that they should be scattered over all nations; that they should be every where found, but should have a resting place no where, & that they should become a bye-word and a scorn to all nations. It is now near 1700 years since they were driven from Judea by the Romans, so exactly has the prediction been fulfilled, that it would be impossible, in the same number of words as were used by Moses, to give a better history of them. Every Jew expects the coming of the Messiah in power and glory, when their restoration is to take place. And strange would it be, if they did not expect it, when those very scriptures which contain the prophecies as to their afflictions, have a thousand passages as to their future happy state. I shall, however, content myself with giving you one of the plainest and strongest. It is in the 23d chapter of Jeremiah. —“Behold the day is come saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice on earth—In his days Judah shall be saved & Israel shall dwell safely, & this is his name whereby he shall be called the Lord our Righteousness.—Therefore behold the day is come saith the Lord that they shall no more say, the Lord liveth, which brought up the Children of Israel out of the land of Egypt: but the Lord liveth which brought up, and which led the seed of the House of Israel out of the North country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them, and they shall dwell in their own land.” Thus Sir, all the Jews, all the best commentators, and I will be bold to say, all the best informed Christians, unite in the opinion, that the Messiah is to come in power and glory, and to be actually and in person, the King of Kings of the earth.
I shall now Sir, briefly, give you my reasons for thinking the moment of that appearance is at hand. The general texts certainly are, that no man can tell the day or hour, for it is said, that “he shall come as a thief in the night;” that as it was in the days of Noah, so it shall be; that we shall be eating and drinking, and giving in marriage, and occupied in our usual pursuits. It is also said that the sun shall withhold his light, and then we shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. But though it is to be thus sudden there are general signs given, by which we may know its near approach. The chief of these are, the fall of the Papal power, and a very high degree of infidelity. In the 7th chapter of Daniel the Papal power is described under the name of a little horn of very extraordinary nature, that was to rise up amongst the ten horns of the fourth beast. Sir Isaac and all the best commentators agree, that this little horn was to have power for 1260 years, and then what is the language of Daniel? “But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom, and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.” Thus the kingdom of the Messiah is to rise at the fall of the papacy. Now can any man doubt, that the 1260 years of papal power are long since past, and that the judgment is sitting, that is to consume, and to destroy it unto the end? Look what has happened to it, particularly during the last ten years, and say if we are not to expect the immediate accomplishment of what remains? In regard to the infidelity of the times, being a warning to us, Christ himself, in speaking of his second coming, says, “nevertheless shall I find faith upon the earth,” not meaning certainly that there would be no faith but that there would be a high degree of infidelity. Now look at France, one of the greatest countries in Europe, openly denying not only the New but the Old Testament, substituting the 10th day instead of the 7th, and even attempting to abolish the memory of Christ, by changing the era that bears his name. Inquire into the state of faith in the surrounding Christian nations; nay enquire at home, and answer me, does not a very high degree of infidelity every where characterize this last year of the 18th century.
I come now, Sir, to the most interesting part of what I have to say; it is to point out my reasons for thinking this is the distinguished country in which the Messiah is now to appear. The stone that is to be cut out of the mountain without hands, is to fall on the feet of the image, and to break the whole image to pieces. Now, that would not be true, if Christ and his army were to appear in any country that is a part of the image: there-
fore all the countries that were comprised in the Babylonian and Assyrian empire, in the Medo-Persian empire, in the Greek empire, and in the Roman empire, are positively precluded. There is another light thrown on this question, by a passage in the 41st chapter of Isaiah, “I have raised up out from the north, and he shall come from the rising of the sun he shall call upon my name, and he shall come upon princes, as upon mortar, & as the potter treadeth out the clay.” This is manifestly the Messiah; and we are therefore to look for a country north of Judea, where the prophecy was given. The new world is out of the question, being no where a subject of prophecy; and as the image is excluded, it can only be in the Russian empire, or in the kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden or Ireland!
The army that follows the Messiah we are told amounts to 144,000, and there are few passages in the revelations of St. John, that denote the place where they are to be assembled.—One is, “I saw them harping with their harps!” Another, “I saw them standing on a sea of glass, having the harps of God.” Another is, “That they were clothed in fine linen, white and clean.” Another is, “And he gathered them together, in a place, in the Hebrew tongue, called Armageddon.” Now, what respects the harp and the fine linen peculiarly applies to Ireland, and not at all to Russia, Denmark or Sweden. The sea of glass, I think must be an island. And I believe the word of Armageddon in the Hebrew tongue, and Armagh or Armagh in the Irish, means the same thing! At all events, there is a great similitude in their sounds, and St. Patrick thought proper to make the city of Armagh, which is the old name, the seat of the church government of Ireland. But besides the sacred passages of Scripture, there are some very particular circumstances attending Ireland. She has never had her share in worldly prosperity, and has only since 1782 began to rise, and I know of no instance in history of any nation beginning to prosper without arriving at a summit of some kind, before it became again depressed. The four great empires rise progressively west or each other, and Great-Britain made the last toe of the image, being the last conquest the Romans made in the west. Now Ireland lies directly west of it, and is therefore in exactly the same progressive line, and it never was any part of the image, nor did the Roman arms ever penetrate here. The arms of Ireland are the harp of David, with an angel in its front. The crown of Ireland is the apostolic crown. Tradition has long spoke of it as a land of saints, and, if what I expect happens, that prediction will be fulfilled. But what I rely on more than all our miraculous exemption from all the serpent and venomous tribe of reptiles. This appears to me in the highest degree emblematic, that Satan, the great serpent, is here to receive his first deadly blow.
I have before given you some reasons why we are to expect the immediate coming of the Messiah. In my opinion, that bill that now lies upon your table proves that it is at hand. What is the British minister now attempting to do? He is attempting to annihilate Ireland as a kingdom, though it has remained distinct from all others, time immemorial. He is attempting, by the rolls of the two parliaments, to make it a part of that image, which was completed in the year 408, as if he new better than the Creator what ought to be the situation of nations. As well might he enact, that from the day this union is intended to take place, the Snake, the viper, the adder, and the toad, should thenceforth live and thrive in our land, for each is contrary to the will of God. I therefore do not hesitate, even in this moment to declare, as I did in a former debate, that this can never be an operative law. I do not hesitate, even in this moment, again to proclaim to this house, and to the British and Irish nations, that the independence of Ireland is written in the immutable records of heaven.
Sir, before I sit down, I think it right publicly to declare the conduct I mean to pursue, should this bill pass into a law. I mean, Sir, to submit to it without a murmur until it be repealed, or until the sun shall miraculously withhold his light and announce the appearance of Christ! Should this bill receive the royal assent, I mean to inculcate into the minds of all who are sprung from me, or over whom I have the least influence, to pay it the most implicit obedience, till the Messiah call in person demand their allegiance! Acting under the strong conviction that I feel of its certainty, I say, Sir, to you, and to every member in this house, and out of this house if he loves virtue let him rejoice, for the triumph of virtue is at hand. I say unto every man within and
without these walls if he be the friend of Christianity, no matter of what sect he be, let him rejoice, for its glorious author is about to unfold all that is mysterious, and to remove every doubt and every difficulty! I say to every man within and without these walls, whether he be a Christian or not, if he sincerely loves his fellow creatures, let him rejoice, for that Messiah who suffered on the cross is about to accomplish the objects of his mission! He is now about to take away the curse which followed the fall of Adam, and to renovate the earth. He is about to establish a religion founded in justice, in truth, and in righteousness, that shall extend from pole to pole, and which shall place this hitherto wicked and miserable world upon the highest pinnacle of human happiness and human glory.
Lexington, September 22.
In our last we informed our readers that the yellow fever had made its appearance in Baltimore and Norfolk—it still continues, and with increased malignity. Norfolk is represented never to have been as sickly, and the number of deaths in Baltimore, for the last 24 hours, ending September 3d, at sun-rise, were eighteen.

BT YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, September 1.
On Saturday afternoon arrived here the ship Argo, capt. Rich, 37 days from London. By her papers are received to the 21st of July, 16 days later than before received: their contents, however, are not of so important a nature as we might have expected.
His Britannic majesty, on the 15th of July, in a message to the House of Peers, laid before them the copy of a treaty which had been signed on the 20th of June, 1800, at Vienna, between his majesty's minister to that court, and the minister plenipotentiary of the emperor of Germany, duly authorized for that purpose, in which it is agreed:
That in order to relieve the pressing necessities of the finances of his imperial majesty under the enormous expenses already incurred, & which remain to be incurred during the present campaign, his Britannic majesty shall advance to his above mentioned imperial majesty by way of loan, the sum of 2,000,000 sterling. This sum shall be divided into three parts, and paid at three different periods, preferably in specie: So that the first third of 666,666 13s 4d shall be paid in the first days of the month of July; the second third of the like sum in the first days of September, and the remaining third in the first days of the month of December.
Their imperial and Britannic majesties mutually promise each other to carry on the war against the French republic, during the present campaign, with all possible vigour, and to employ in it all their respective means by land and sea, concerting together, as occasion shall require, on the most advantageous manner of reciprocally employing their forces by land and sea, to the support of their operations against the common enemy.
Their imperial and Britannic majesties engage during the whole continuance of the present convention, not to make a separate peace with the French republic, without previous and express consent of each other.—
The duration of the convention is fixed for the term of one year, to be computed from the 1st of March, 1800, until the end of February 1801.
We find nothing in these papers respecting American affairs. That profound silence which has been observed by our commissioners, leads us to think, that all that has been said about the rupture of negotiations is altogether conjecture, and that all will yet terminate amicably.—For further intelligence, we must for the present refer to the subsequent details, which is all our limits will permit.
PARIS, July 8.
General Berthier is arrived at Paris. The Americans who are in Paris met on the 4th of this month to celebrate the anniversary of the independence of the United States. At this meeting many toasts were given in honor of our invincible armies, and to the speedy establishment of good harmony between the two republics.
The Americans viewed with much emotion gen. La Fayette, who so powerfully contributed to the establishment of their independence. They shewed him the most impressive marks of respect and attachment.

Gen Klein, who commands our troops before Kehl, is set out for Mentz, where he will command the cavalry of St. Suzanne. The troops who were under his orders have made a junction with general Beauregard, before Old Brifach, between Offenburg and Triburg. The communications with the grand army are entirely re-established. There is no strong place between Munich and Vienna. Think well on this, Mons. Thugut! LONDON, July 15.
Last night we received Paris Journals up to Saturday last, the 12th inst. They do not afford any intelligence relative to the important question of peace or war. No official publication of the actual disposition of the emperor has yet been made by the French government; though it is evident that they are in possession of some facts which they do not consider as altogether favorable to their views of pacification.
Carnot, in his address to the Prefects and the Generals of the different departments, so far from considering peace as certain, exhorts them to prepare for a new scene of warfare, by accelerating the departure of the second class of conscripts, "in order to make a last and terrible irruption into the enemy's territory." This, however, were it unconnected with any other circumstances, might be considered as little more than a boastful expedient of intimidation: and indeed the minister at war admits, in a great measure, that such is actually his object: He says, that while France continues to present herself to foreign powers in the commanding posture of concentrated and victorious force, they will not be induced to "reject that peace that is again offered to them, and which their reverses have not rendered more severe." The terms now offered not being more severe than those proposed by Buonaparte previous to the late successes of the Republican arms, Carnot very artfully describes them as fresh proof of moderation on the part of the conquerors: and expressly states, that if they are resisted, "it will be necessary to make a final effort, and to dictate the peace which they now offer."
Of military intelligence the Papers contain but little that is important, excepting some unofficial accounts from Strasbourg and other places, which state that the army of Moreau continues to advance; that gen. Kray has quitted his formidable position at Ingolstadt, and is retreating towards Landshut, on the river Isar, whither the seat of war is about to be wholly removed from the Danube, in order the more securely to cover the Austrian frontiers; that the French division commanded by Lacourbe, has marched against Ratisbon; that the enemy have taken possession of the Bishopric of Eichstadt, entered the Upper Palatine, and forced the corps of gen. St. Suzanne to retreat to Langenfeld; that gen. St. Suzanne was to set out on the 9th, from the Rhine, with his army, to attack the Imperials on the Maine, and to proceed from thence through Franconia to co-operate with Moreau; that a large quantity of ammunition and 5000 muskets were found by the enemy in Munich; that in the affair of the 27th at Neuberg the French made 6000 prisoners; and in short, that every thing continues to go on in favor of the enemy. It is expected that they will make a speedy effort to possess themselves of the Tyrol and the Grisons, the possession of which would enable them to effect an immediate co-operation between the armies of Italy and of the Rhine.
There is a report of the capture of Ulm by the enemy, but this circumstance is not positively asserted. The Diet of Ratisbon is said to have resolved to negotiate for the neutrality of that city, as being the seat of General Diet of the empire. From Italy there is no particular news. Massena is organizing the several French armies in that country, which are said to consist of no less than 160,000 men. The new Army of Reserve is immediately expected to march from Dijon. Berthier having resigned his military command to Massena, is returned to Paris; and Carnot it is thought, will shortly repair again to the armies. The Emperor has ratified the convention of Alessandria. Some of the German States have petitioned his Imperial Majesty to conclude a peace with France, and this circumstance has given rise to a variety of rumors of a pacific desertion. July 17. From the Royal Message delivered to
Parliament on Tuesday, and the convention signed at Vienna on the 20th of June it appears that, notwithstanding the late reverse experienced by the Austrian army in Italy, his Imperial Majesty will listen to no propositions of peace from the French Court, without consulting the Cabinet of Great Britain. The answer sent to those transmitted to Vienna in consequence of the victory of Maringo, is said to have been to the following effect:—"That his Imperial Majesty entertains no repugnance to coming to an amicable and sincere explanation with the French Government but that he considers himself bound in honor to consult with his Ally the King of Great Britain, to whom he will transmit without loss of time the present overtures of the Chief Consul with his Imperial Majesty's reply to them."
A Council was yesterday held at Lord Grenville's Office on the advices received from the Emperor of Germany. July 19. Government it is said, are in possession of Paris Papers of the date of Tuesday last. They are stated to be silent respecting the proceedings of the army of the Rhine.
The anniversary of the destruction of the Bastille, was celebrated with considerable pomp, in the presence of the Constituted Authorities. Neither the 10th of August, nor any other day except the 14th of July, it is said, will be henceforward observed as the anniversary of the revolution.
Fouche, the Minister of the Police, is represented to have been dismissed in consequence of some corrupt proceedings of his department respecting the returning Emigrants.
Another message was yesterday delivered to both Houses, respecting the Vote of Credit, which is to enable his Majesty to meet any extraordinary expenses that may occur in addition to those already voted. The message also expresses a firm reliance upon Parliament that they will adopt such other measures as the exigencies of the case may seem to them to require.
In the debate last night nothing occurred that could be considered as conclusive respecting the conduct which Ministers are determined to pursue in the present conjuncture of affairs. Several speakers were desirous to consider this vote in favor of the Emperor, as likely to give additional weight to his negotiation with France, and not incompatible with pacific measures on the part of this country. It was argued generally, that whatever might be the intentions of the Ministers, the Loan to the Emperor would enable both us and our Ally to treat with greater weight, and that even as a shew of war in the prospect of negotiation, it was wise and politic. Mr. Canning gave up the objection to the stability of the present Government of France.
The sum total voted in the committee of Ways and Means last night, is 9,500,000l.
It was yesterday confidently reported that negotiations for peace with France had actually commenced; but this report we have not been fortunate enough to trace to any respectable source.
Parliament, it is now thought, will not rise until Wednesday sen'night, the 30th instant.
Last night Mr. Wm. Ross and Mr. Baulico, the Messengers, were under orders to set off with dispatches to Vienna.

Just received from Lee & Co's. Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, and for sale by MACBEAN & POYZER, at the Store formerly occupied by Mr. Robert Barr, Lexington, the following Valuable
MEDICINES: HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from Toulness or obstruction in the stomach and bowels.
A peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution: contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the Taenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gum—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fecal stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirit—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons affected with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES, SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS.
MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wilkes Street, Fell's Point, city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed, but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms; they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery—The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed my cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins, of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS, For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent Fevers. Thousands can testify of their being cured by
these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injures the constitution exceedingly, and brings on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but being a very nauseous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently loth for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH, Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS,
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventors feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretion—to restore and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences—A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance—They are celebrated for removing habitual coliciness—lowness at the stomach and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD, For the cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swellings, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Cold, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, and approaching Consumption, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, For the cure of a Certain Disease.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the unskillful or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lungs in, &c.
THE DAMASK LIP-SALVE, An elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color, and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which induces to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE & GENUINE GERMAN CORN-PLAISTER, An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER,
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheume, dizziness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles, and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of light.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS, The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR, For the cure of every kind of Head-Ache, &c. &c.
TAKEN up by the subscriber living in Henry county, on the Sulpher lick fork, a bay filly two years old, no brand, appraised to $1. 10s. Elijah Scott. July 14th, 1800.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ON ANTICIPATION.
The short-liv'd comforts nature gives, Seems made but to deceive us; For, though they yield a transient joy, We're wretched when they leave us.
Thus swiftly j'w and woe succeed, With true and certain measure; What gives us sorrow when 'tis past, In prospect is our pleasure.
The present scarce a thought employs, Or with one good supplies us— 'Tis perfect happiness we seek, This always the denies us.
With her we never are content; But future pleasure viewing, And though 'tis nothing when poss'd, 'Tis something we're pursuing.
The future ev'ry wish employs, Keeps hope in constant action, Of this depriv'd we soon should be Unhappy to distraction.
We think the future stor'd with bliss, And all that can delight us, And view her stand with open arms, To welcome and invite us.
In her we trust, on her we live, Nor let the present bliss us; But when the future does arrive, 'Twill equally distress us.
