LONDON, August 19.
Yesterday letters of intelligence were received at the office of the secretary to the admiralty, Whitehall, from Admiral Duncan's fleet. The British and Dutch fleets it seems still hold their former situations.
Yesterday we received Dutch and Brussels papers down to the date of the 12th inst. The former are extremely barren of news, every thing having been anticipated by preceding accounts. The intelligence brought by the latter is extremely important, inasmuch as it may be said to exhibit a fine qua non of the Imperial Cabinet, which is said to insist on a fulfilment of the strict letter of the preliminary articles.
The Udine account also strongly intimates that the negotiation is drawing to a close. Perhaps it is not the intention of Buonaparte to return to Udine, but at the head of his army.
The Austrians and French both on the side of the Rhine and Italy are making movements which indicate a renewal of hostilities.
Accounts are moreover said to have been received yesterday at the imperial ambassador's that the emperor will certainly break off the negotiations with Buonaparte, unless the idea of dividing Italy into Republics is totally given up; but as the cession on the part of the French is not probable, it is likely that another week may bring an account of an appeal to the sword, as this only depended upon an ultimatum from Vienna to the French commander in chief, and in the manner in which it may be received.
Almost the whole of the Imperial forces from Mannheim to Mentz, have left their cantonments, and are gone to occupy the new camps traced out for them. In case of a renewal of hostilities, the Arch Duke Charles will command the army on the Rhine, while the Arch Duke Joseph, assisted by gen. Mack will conduct the operations in Italy.
From Nuremberg it is remarkable, that it is impossible to divine the object of the Austrian movements, and that they continue to buy up all the hay, &c. that they can meet with.
The French troops under Gen. Grenier have again taken possession of the bridge head at Neuwied. This is understood as a certain indication of approaching hostilities.
The letters from the Hague, received yesterday reach down to the 14th of August and contain communications of the first importance. The new constitution so strongly recommended by Noel, was on the 8th inst. rejected by a considerable majority.
It is rumoured at Paris that a revolution has taken place in the ecclesiastical states, and that the Pope has abdicated his sovereignty on a pension.
Three Directors of the bank of Vienna have, it is said been arrested, and are to be brought to trial on a charge of having lowered the public credit by stock jobbing.
The above papers contain nothing upon the subject of the negotiations at Lisle worthy of remark. They were brought to Dover by a Danish packet with passengers, but no King's messenger.
August 21--22.
On Saturday arrived the first of the Hamburg mails due, which brought intelligence of rather an hostile nature, as far as regarded the negotiation between the Emperor and the French republic. The letters from Vienna stated in very positive and unequivocal terms, that his Imperial majesty had determined to renew hostilities, rather than cede the fortress of Mantua to the Cisalpine republic, which the French have founded in Italy.
Yesterday arrived another Hamburg mail, and also the chaplain of Sir Morton Eden, who came with dispatches from Vienna. The advices are much more pacific than those brought by the preceding mail; and
we find, that after numerous difficulties raised by the French negotiator in Italy, in regard to the cession of Mantua to the emperor, the directory at length instructed him to give up the point; and accordingly Mantua is to be restored to his imperial majesty; but all the French ordnance and stores in it are to be previously taken away.
The principal point of difference being now removed we may expect to hear the definitive treaty of peace has been signed between the emperor and the French republic; unless indeed, the former chuses to wait the issue of the negotiation at Lisle; for which place, Mr. Brooks, the messenger, set off late on Saturday night, with the answer of our court to the last dispatches. Lord Levison Gower remains in town.
Mr. Pitt came to town yesterday, from Holwood, and Mr. Secretary Nespean had a long interview with him at his house in Downing Street, on instructions, it is said, which are to be sent to Earl St. Vincent cruising with his fleet off Cadiz, in consequence of the treaty between France and Portugal.
The inhabitants of all the Great towns in Holland, particularly those of Amsterdam, are very hostile to the French, and endeavour by every means in their power, to shake off the French yoke. The Dutch in all their public meetings, make no hesitation in expressing the strongest antipathy against their invaders; but the powerful arm of tyranny still keeps them in subjection. [So say the English.]
A printed address bearing the signatures of about 100,000 persons was lately circulated in the electorate of Treves, inviting the inhabitants of the left bank of the Rhine, to depote their governors, and either join with France, or establish themselves into an independent republic. General Hoche, considering this revolutionary system as being inconsistent with the preliminaries of peace, in which the integrity of the Germanic empire is stipulated, caused the address to be suppressed, and some of the principals in the business to be banished from Bonn.
August 23--24.
Dispatches from Lord Malmesbury were this day received at the secretary of state's office, from Lisle, by Mr. Wich, the messenger who reached Calais in 12 hours, and was only nine hours in his passage to Dover; when he arrived, no communication was permitted with the vessel. The dispatches were transmitted to Lord Grenville, at Dropmore. They are said to be of the first importance; but nothing particular has transpired.
The stay of Lord Malmesbury at Lisle is likely to be of longer duration than was at first expected; his lordship has taken a house there for himself and his retinue.
The Hamburg mail, due on Saturday last arrived this day.
The intelligence from Italy relates to the troubles in Piedmont, and to the distresses at Venice.
Paris remains in a state of perfect tranquility, notwithstanding which the military preparations are continued with much activity. Two more regiments of cavalry are arrived, and the Champ de Mars is filled with cannon. The breach between the councils and the directory does not appear to have received a complete reparation. The former naturally view the proceedings of the latter with a jealous eye, and are adopting every practicable means to abridge their military authority and influence. The council of Five hundred, on the 17th inst. decreed that the directory should not have power to cashier officers at their discretion, & that no naval or military officer should for the future be dismissed, except by virtue of a legal judgment. In the sitting of the 17th, a very flattering statement was presented to the council of the amount of the receipts of the expenditure of the public money, and a committee was appointed to report upon the abuse of the liberty of the press.
The armies will continue to address the directory upon the conduct of the councils, in language the most severe and intemperate: to which, it is certain, they are encouraged by their commander. Gen. Hoche has at length thrown off the mantle of disguise and boldly declared to his troops the intention of the directory of whom he is the most determined partizan. Thus it is no longer doubtful, that notwith-
standing all the equivocations of the directory upon the subject, it is their determination to violate one of the most essential principles of the constitution which they have sworn to maintain, by marching the armed force into the interior of France without the sanction of the legislative bodies, should they find such an expedient necessary to answer their own private views and ambitious purposes. By these means they may secure a temporary triumph; but the victory of force over law can never be deemed honorable, nor is it likely that its effects can be permanent.
NEW-YORK, October 12.
By the report of General Toussaint Louverture, it appears that Santhonax has long been attempting to detach Hispaniola from its dependence on France, and has used every effort to detach Toussaint from his alleged allegiance. Santhonax, an abandoned villain, who has enriched himself on the plunder of the unfortunate colonists who were too honest to join him in his villainies, would doubtless wish to throw himself out of the reach of the French government, and make himself the petty despot of that Island. But if he supposed he could maintain the independence of that colony, in opposition to the power of France, he is as weak as he is wicked.
The constituted authorities of the French government or rather despotism in St. Domingo, consisted of a motley crew. Santhonax, born in France where he has a father still living. Raimond, a mulatto--and Toussaint, a black man, military commander in chief. It appears however that these officers who have African blood in their veins, are infinitely the least criminal. Raimond and Toussaint are spoken of, by the Americans, as men of more honor and integrity than Santhonax--and men on whose word some dependence can be placed.
Since Santhonax was sent away, the supreme authority in St. Domingo devolves on Julien Raimond. This man has issued a pompous proclamation, addressed to the people, in which he declares his attachment and inviolable faith to the French republic. That as he has both French and African blood in his veins, the real French and the people of other colors have nothing to fear from him--all shall be protected in their rights. He says that he has constantly endeavored to listen down the resentments of the different parties--to calm animosities and to inspire a love of labor, of order and peace--to revive cultivation which alone can bring back prosperity. In this he has so far succeeded, as he states, that the plantations in the north of the island have resumed a smiling aspect and become productive. He promises to rectify the enormous abuses introduced into the imposts by Santhonax, whose distribution of the public money was shamefully unequal and unjust.
In this proclamation, Raimond has said nothing in particular about the American trade. He says in general that "The French merchants and strangers are witnesses of the protection given to commerce, and of the efforts of the administration to fulfil its engagements." He speaks of his ardent desire to unite all the inhabitants in one family and attach them to France--and also to encourage cultivation, protect commerce, and confide the general prosperity.
October 24.
The ship Chesapeake, sailed from Bristol on the 29th August. All the news we can obtain by this vessel, is, that the negotiations at Lisle were still going on. There did not appear to be much hopes of peace. Twenty-four passengers came in the Chesapeake of whom the lady of capt Hardy, of the British frigate Thistle, was one.
All seems to be HUSH on this last arrival--it is supposed there is NO NEWS. We cannot, yet, obtain any papers.
Several articles of London, August 19. which we do not recollect to have seen, state, that the Dutch fleet remain blockaded by Admiral Duncan. That the Imperial cabinet insist on the fulfilment of the latter of the preliminary articles. That the movements of both French & Austrians on the Rhine, and in Italy, indicate renewed hostilities. That the Dutch new constitution, had been rejected.
October 25.
An action has taken place in the

East Indies between the British troops, and the Rajah of Coote, in which Major Cameron, the commander fell, with the additional loss of 300 men. The Rajah was afterwards subdued and brought to submission.
BOSTON, October 16.
An arrival here on Saturday last, in 40 days from Lisbon, confirms the defeat of the British bloodhounds at Teneriffe—with this addition, that of 1400 sailors and soldiers, not one was suffered to escape.
PHILADELPHIA, October 24.
FROM THE (N. Y.) DIARY.
Among the continual improvements in diplomatic correspondence, that of explaining away is brought at present to an eminent degree of perfection. The treaties, laws and public acts now extant and acknowledged valid, are so numerous, (or rather unnumberable) in the aggregate so different in form and substance and in many cases so indefinite, that any thing can be proved from them of which the more powerful party wishes to convince the weaker. At the beginning of the present European war, the British seized upon our property and our citizens at sea without ceremony; much of this has been satisfactorily explained away to the entire satisfaction of all but the sufferers: Restitution in several cases has indeed been made, and the more perhaps will be made; but the inconveniences and deductions consequent upon all this, such as the enormous costs of Admiralty courts, even in successful cases expenses of agency, and loss by detention, will be explained away by the application of certain technical terms wrested to the interest of the strongest. France, encouraged by the success of Britain, has improved upon the plan, but has hitherto in very few instances condescended to explain. Perhaps upon the conclusion of a general peace, we shall receive ample satisfaction from both parties upon paper, or by word of mouth, for all we have lost in character and property.
Those who are at the head of affairs know best how a spirited conduct would have operated at the beginning of the war, when both France and England had a much higher idea of the value of our friendship and a greater dread of losing it than either of them now has.
A gentleman who arrived in town on Sunday last from New Providence, via the Havana, has favored the printer with the following information; on the authenticity of which he places the greatest confidence.
That on the 20th of August, the day he left Pensacola, he saw an official letter from the Baron de Carondelet to a gentleman in office there, acquainting him of his having received by the last courier from the Havana, orders from his court, to put into full execution, the treaty between Spain and the United States of America; for which purpose he had forwarded dispatches to the commandants of the forts on the Mississippi, to deliver up the posts and evacuate the fortifications with all convenient dispatch; that by the same courier, Governor Gayoso's appointment of the Governor-Generalship in the Floridas and Louisiana, had arrived; and that previous to his closing that letter, Governor Gayoso had reached the capital, and was about to enter on the duties of his office. Baron de Carondelet was to leave New Orleans on the 16th of September, for Quito, on the Spanish Main, on board of a frigate which was then fitting for his reception.
The subscriber respectfully informs the public, that he has opened

Notice.
I WISH to dispose of about five thousand acres of land on the waters of Drennon's lick creek, in the county of Shelby, attended with as many conveniences as the generality of land in this State. A purchaser for the whole tract would be preferred, and the terms of payment made easy. However, if such a purchaser should not offer, the subscriber will lay off the land into any given number of lots, provided he obtains market for the whole. An indisputable title in fee simple will be made to the whole or any part of the above mentioned land. For further particulars apply to the subscriber at Mr. Jones's tavern in this town.

HAS just completed a large and convenient STABLE, for the accommodation of any number of horses not exceeding twenty-seven, which will be kept in the best manner, at nine shillings per week, or two shillings and three per night. A hostler may be found at all times in the stable, and the strictest attention will be paid to the call of every gentleman. The members of the assembly will find it convenient to have their horses at hand, at so low a price: And he hopes by his attention, to give general satisfaction, and merit a continuance of any custom he may be favored with.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, November 15.
We are happy to have it in our power to inform our readers, that by the accounts from Philadelphia and Baltimore of the 26th ult. the deaths in the former for the last 24 hours, were only five, and those of the latter two, and that no new case of the epidemic had occurred in either for that time; in consequence of which, the inhabitants who had removed out of Philadelphia, were fast returning.
It is stated from several quarters that the French Directory have instructed general Buonaparte to afford the king of Sardinia every succour that may be necessary to the support of his throne, against the seditions part of his subjects.
TREATY WITH PORTUGAL.
The French Council of Five Hundred have approved of this treaty but no particulars had yet transpired.
A dreadful earthquake has happened at Santa Fe and Panama in South America, in which between 30 and 40,000 souls are said to have perished.
It has been made a question, whether pistareens are parts of dollars still a tender in law. We think they are—they are of Spanish coinage, and answer precisely to the decimal parts of the American dollar; being in value to a double dime.
"The wars on the Continent of Europe (says a French paper) are for the present drawing to a close. Whether a permanent peace, (what humanity wishes and philosophy prescribes) will take place, is a problem of difficult solution. It is rather to be presumed, that while a remnant of monarchy, or the monarchical principle exists among mankind, the miserable system of blood and warfare will prevail in an exact ratio to the continuance of that absurd scheme of governing mankind. It remains to be seen whether the efficacy of what is called a Republican Revolution, tending to the harmonization of Man, will have at least a preponderancy in the opposite scale. With us, who suffer ourselves to think it is generally agreed, that the world is become old enough to be wise, and that mankind were not brought upon the stage of existence, to butcher each other for partial interests. — To get the better of these things, the Republican principle of humanity and equality, will perhaps gradually prevail through the influence of liberal education, truly such; and not an education of deception and fraud, which engenders aristocracy and all that is degrading to man."
"So long haras'd by kings and queens,
Harpies, and every kind of prey,
She asks a MILD REPUBLIC'S aid,
To calm the evening of her day."
London papers say, that amongst a number of abuses in England the scandalous practice of wife-selling is not the least. It appears that numbers of these unfortunate women were every day brought to Smithfield and other markets, and set up publicly for sale, by vile profligate husbands. They are commonly vendee for terms of time, at the rates of from one to three guineas."

ALL persons are hereby cautioned against purchasing a bond for the conveyance of sixty two acres of land, on the Town fork of South Elkhorn, given by me to William Adams, the bond is dated in October 1795. As I have received no satisfaction for said land, I will not convey it unless compelled by law.

WHO may incline to carry on the business of rectifying spirituous liquors and the manufacturing cordials in an extensive manner, may now be supplied with the necessary articles for carrying on the same, by applying at the sign of Andrew M'Call's Apothecary's shop near Gray pen Lexington. The Articles principally are forming the following liquors, viz.
Spirituous anniseed-water ditto clove-water ditto orange-water; all fours, &c. Also for making brandy and geneva equal in flavour and purity to that imported—There are upwards of 300lbs. of Italian juniper berries, and 100lbs. anniseeds, which may be purchased distinct from the other articles, if applied for soon. Any person or persons inclining to purchase the whole, or the juniper berries or anniseed alone, or the whole of the articles for making brandy and cordials, will (if required) receive genuine instructions gratis, how to use them to the greatest possible advantage.
Also, an exceeding good COPPER STILL, almost a quarter of an inch thick, containing better than 300 gallons, with a worm made of the very best pewter, having ten turns and weighing upwards of 300lbs. with a large quantity of wrought iron suitable to set up the still in the completest manner—the whole of which will be sold together on very low terms, and instructions given for fixing the works in the most complete order, so that it can be worked with more ease than many stills are now of 100 gallons.
N.B. Cordials can be made to more advantage in warm than cold weather.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ANSWER to PHELIM O'FLANAGAN,
As a calico gown to a wench, That has drudg'd in the kitchen a year As a frog fricasee to the French; To a buck as a bottle of beer:
So sweet—and still sweeter—the notes, That flow from thy magical pen, Than the warbling of woodpecker's throats, Or the cluck of the chick-nursing hen.
The bison so REAL and stout, May boast of his shape and his size; Of his arch and his humorous pout, Of the charm of his love darting eyes:
Compar'd with my Phelim he'd skulk, Like the dew from the heat of the sun; Like a mud-turtle's head to his hulk, Like a debtor at sight of his dun.
While others repine at their fate. And sigh that their doxies bewitch; Let Flanagan comfort his pate; Henrietta is tender than pitch.
The world then shall not go to wreck; And Phelim may banish his woe; His turtles may stretch out their neck, And his bull frogs may croak tally- ho.

ANECDOLE.
'You look as fierce as a lion! said a Yorkshire farmer lately to one of his plough boys. 'So do you, mast- er!' says the boy. 'So do I, you dog! What do you mean? Did you ever see a lion? — Yes, master, you look just like one I saw in the crote the other day.' — 'You blockhead,' cried the honest farmer, 'that was a Jack- Ass.'
Reflections.
'IT is finished!' and man has snat- ched from Heaven the prerogative of Deity—he has doomed to death a creature like himself.
Man was fashioned by Jehovah af- ter his own likeness, and in the im- age of God was he created: Into his nostrils did Omnipotence breathe the breath of life.
Having received his being from the ruler of the skies, he became wholly dependent on him for support and for existence. His life was sacred—so- lemnly was it guaranteed by God; and to him alone belonged the right of taking it.
But man, the simian gew-gaw of a day, aims at possessing himself of pow- er equal to his maker; and willingly does he aspire at wielding the thun- derbolts of heaven.
How long has the world groaned in slavery! How long has mankind pati- ently bore the shackles of despotism! And how nobly have they at length burst them asunder.
Yet, to our shame, we are willing slaves to the selkest tyranny that ever disgraced our globe. O custom! how do we crowd to thy shrine! Thine altars continually smoke with incense, offered by the most free and enlight- ened nation under Heaven!!!

Any gentle- man inclining to purchase, may apply to the subscriber living on Cane run, four miles from Lexington, Fayette county. SAMUEL BEELER.
The public, I presume, has seen a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and Joseph Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass un-answered, but that I am appre- hensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledg- ment of their claim.—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can he legally claim a foot of property under me —if he could, why do not the persons claim- ing under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desir- ous that my land disputes might be terminat- ed, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure. In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last,—but 'tis equally true, that the complaints have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so impor- tant, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pur- sued with more keenness if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fen- wick, in future know, that I despise the hy- pocritical cant of their publication. After accu- sing me of fraudulent intentions against in- nocent people—they kindly say they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gen- tlemen if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be so —but most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning compliance, would re- sent it as I do.
