The following project of a law is imme-diately to be submitted to the discussion of the French council of state, and no doubt is entertained but it will be adopted:

3. National property to the amount of 150,000 francs, annually, shall be allotted to each cohort.

Every individual on his being admitted into the legion, shall swear, on his conscience and honor, that he means to devote his exist-ence to the welfare of the Republic, to the preservation of its territory (in its integrity) and to the defence of its government, its laws and the property which it has rendered sacred, to oppose, by all means which justice, reason and the laws authorise, every underta-king which may tend to the reformation of feudal system, of titles and immunities at-tached to them; in fine to exert his best and most strenuous efforts for the maintenance of liberty and equality.
7. A grand council shall be formed, consist-ing of the First Consul, the two Consuls, and four Counsellors, one of whom is to be cho-sen from among the Senators, by the Sena-tors themselves; the legislative body is to se-lect another, the Tribune is to send one of its members and the Council of State chooses the fourth.
8. The First Consul, is, de jure, the chief of the Legion, and the president of the Coun-cil of Administration.

Conditions required for being admitted. "To have received arms of honor from the hands, or by the order of the first Consul; to have rendered essential service in the war of liberty, either in the field or in the cabinet. In time of peace, a candidate must prove that he has served 25 years.—Each year in time of war tells for two; each campaign of the republican war tells for four years."

NEW-YORK, July 9,
We learn from Captain Jackson, who arri-ved here yesterday in 12 days from St. Mary's, that just before he failed, he was informed by a Spanish gentleman of respectability, direct from West-Florida, that the French had late-ly landed at that place, 35,000 troops. This news was generally believe at St. Mary's, and filled them with apprehensions of trouble from the French.
Capt. Jackson also informs us, that one of Bowles' privateers had lately taken a Spanish brig bound from the Havanna for St. Augus-tine, valued at 40,000 pounds sterling—the same privateer had also captured a Spanish schooner loaded with flour; both of which were sent into a port the west side of Cuba, the name of which Capt. Jackson does not re-collect.

PROCLAMATION.
Head-Quarters at the Cape, 22d Prairial, (June 10) 10th year. The general in chief of the colony of St. Domingo, to its inhabitants.
CITIZENS, Toussaint was a conspirator; this you will be enabled to judge of by the inclosed letter directed to citizen Fontaine. I thought it my duty not to endanger the tranquility of the colony. I caused him to be arrested and embarked, and I sent him to France, where he is to account for his conduct to the French government. In another letter directed to citizen Fontaine, he discharges heavy invec-tives against Gen. Christophe, and he com-plaints that gen. Dessalines has abandoned him.
He forbids Sylla to lay down his arms, and the cultivators to work on any plantation, but those intended for provisions.
He sent one of his accomplices to general Dessalines, to induce him not to submit with good faith.
He depends much on Massinet, in St. Mark: He is arrested.
I have inflicted punishment on that miscre-ant; and I order all the generals of division of the army to compel all the cultivators who

are still in arms, in the mountains, to retire to their duty.
The cultivators are not the most guilty—it is those that misled them—in consequence of which every commandant of the national guard, every officer, overseer or planter who shall be found in an armed meeting, shall immediately be shot.
As to the inhabitants of Emery, I order that they shall be immediately disarmed, for having been so tardy in submission.
Gen. Brunet shall cause this order to be executed.
The chief of the general staff shall cause the present order, together with gen. Toussaint's letter to be printed, published and posted; and he will, with all speed possible, send it to the whole army throughout the colony. Signed,
LE CLERC.

You give me no news. You endeavor to stay at the Cape as long as you can.
It is said that gen. Le Clerc is in a state of bad health at Tortuga: this you must be very particular about informing me of.
You must see _____, for arms from America, (Nouvelle.*). As to the flour, for we are in want of some of the last kind, it ought not to be lent without passing through Savanna, that we may know the depot where it might be placed with safety.
If you see the general in chief, tell him positively, that the cultivators won't obey me. They want to make them work at Harcourt, but the overseer ought not to do it.
I ask you if we can bribe some of the attendants of the general in chief, that we might free D_____,† he would be very useful to us, through his credit both in America and some where else.
Inform Gengembre that he must not leave the Borgne, where it is necessary the cultivators should not work.
Write to me at the plantation Najar.
Signed,
TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE.

Lexington, July 30.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his correspondent in this town, dated July 13th 1802.
"The city is under some alarm on account of a vessel called the St. Domingo Packet, from the island of St. Domingo, having come up to town, and supposed communicated the fever to two or three individuals. She lost two of her crew at St. Domingo, two on her passage from thence, and one at the Lazaretto. Having been washed and smoked, the board of health permitted her to come up to town, but have now sent her down again. It is very difficult to ascertain the truth upon these occasions, and whether what has been said are matters of fact or not. I took some pains to ascertain the matter on Saturday, and Mr. Gomegys, the president of the board of health, was at that time convinced there was no cause for uneasiness on her account, but believe the information he procured was not correct—We hope, however, there is no danger of the disorder spreading, as she is sent away, and no doubt care will be taken to remove any suspected person."
PARIS, May 8.
Gen. Menou is arrived at Paris, and has been presented to the First Consul, who gave him the most distinguished reception.
Gen. Menou said to him—"Consul, in presenting myself before you, the grief of having seen your fairest conquest lost, is renewed."
"The fate of battles," replied the First Consul, "is uncertain. You have done all that could, after the unfortunate day of the 30th, be expected from a man of experience and talent. Your long resistance at Alexandria contributed to the good issue of the preliminaries of London. Your good and wise administration has merited the esteem of all men who appreciate its influence upon the public prosperity."
"I know very well what has passed in your army. Your misfortunes have been great without doubt, but they have not lost you any of my esteem; and I shall be eager to testify it openly, in order that no clamour may be spread against your conduct."

LONDON, May 17.
(From our correspondent at Hamburg.)
"Accounts have reached Vienna of the defeat of the Prince of Wallachia by Pashawan Ogloou, and of an almost general insurrection in the European possessions of the Grand Seignor."
"The accounts from Constantinople state a general rumor in the higher circles of the Turkish capital, that a body of Ottoman troops had been worked by the Beys, and that in consequence of the present distracted state of that country, the British forces still remaining in Egypt, had been solicited by the Turkish cabinet not to quit Alexandria. Should certain events in contemplation take place, there is great probability that Great Britain will endeavor to secure to herself the possession of that important country."
PHILADELPHIA, July 16.
Captain Callender, of the brig Amelia, from Cadiz, has furnished the following information:
The U. S. Frigate Constellation, captain Murray, and the Enterprise schooner, lieutenant Serret, had proceeded for Tripoli. The Essex, capt. Bainbridge, remained cruising in the neighborhood of Gibraltar.
A number of Algerine cruizers were at sea, and it was generally supposed they were hostile to Spain; having plundered several Spanish vessels in the Mediterranean.
It was rumored that an Algerine frigate had captured a Portuguese ship of 40 guns; it was likewise asserted and generally believed that a pirate had been discovered in the straits—there were various reports of vessels having been plundered by her, and most of their crews massacred; she was said to be commanded by a Frenchman; several vessels had been dispatched in search of her. A few days previous to the departure of the Amelia, a Spanish sloop of war (one of the vessels that had been sent to cruise for the pirate) brought into Cadiz an armed vessel with 30 to 35 men; about which time it was reported, that another had been discovered off Cape de Gatt, said to have a 9 pounder in the bow, 30 to 40 men, and to be commanded by a Frenchman.
