PARIS, June 21. Extract of a letter from Calais, dated 28th Prairial, June 16.
This morning at 5 o'clock, entered this harbor, an English fishing boat, in which were found 18 sailors and 4 women, who had escaped from the English vessel, the Inflexible, which, after being in a state of insurrection, had submitted; eleven of these men, who were part of the insurgents, escaped in the long boat of the ship, at the moment they were about to be put into irons; they passed under the guns of the Monmouth, who they expected would fire on them, but she did not; after getting some distance off, they took possession of the fishing vessel they arrived in at this place. Of these, 18 men, two were delegates, and one president; ten others were members of the committee of information. They had every thing to fear, as the fleet at the Nore had entirely submitted, and consented to give up their chiefs. The redoubtable Parker is in the hands of government. These insurgents wear a blue ribbon on their hats, on which is written, in letters of gold, The loyal and just committee of his majesty's ship Inflexible . Also a blue and red cockade.
July 19.
The Corsair La Prodigie, which set sail from the road of Dunkirk, under command of capt. Wandezande, met on the 23th June, nine English merchant ships, which composed a formidable squadron. The Corsair La Prodigie, after two terrible engagements, took six of the English vessels, four of which have already entered the Texel. Never did a privateer merit better its name. The French captain and all his crew achieved prodigies of valor; and, if they had had a sufficient number of hands, would have boarded all the enemy's vessels. A sergeant fell by the side of Wandezande, being wounded by a shot; they wished to give him some immediate assistance—"No! No!" said he "take care of my wounded comrades, who probably will recover; it is useless to lose moments so precious to them in dressing my wounds." A few minutes afterwards he expired. The Prodigie is arrived at Dunkirk, with 64 prisoners, amongst whom are the captains of six vessels, taken or burnt. Five days before this engagement, the privateer had taken and burnt an English brig in ballast, going from Hamburg to Hull.
August 1.
There are now 18 ships of the line in Brest harbor, ready for sea, together with a number of frigates.
The Directory has come to a resolution that the Palais Royal, shall no longer exist in its present state, but shall be converted into different streets.
Gen. Hoche has set out for Rheims. —We are assured that he will form a camp under the walls of that city, and the army he is to command for a secret expedition, is said to amount to 22,000 men. L'Eclair .
Blood has again been shed at Tours. A conflict has taken place, in which the Jacobins have been defeated, and two of them killed.
The letters that we receive from the Departments, speak only of contradictory orders given for the march of the troops. If a courier in the morning, brings an order to advance, another in the evening, brings an order to retreat. The general officers cross each other, and nothing seems to be thought of but bringing the two councils to their reason. This is a slight sketch of the proceedings that take place in our frontier departments, and which resemble too much those that preceded the revolution of 1789. —How is it that a government newly established so much resembles that which we are destroying?
It is said indeed that Gen. Ferino, at Sedan, has stopped the march of two columns of our army that were going to Paris. He observed to them that their marching orders were not legal, and they retreated. —It is however, added that he was obliged to make preparations for opposing their passage, and that the cannon of the citadel were turned against them.
Tableau l'Europe .
CADIZ, July 11.
During three nights we have seen only three bombs fall in the town. —Our chaloupes and small armed vessels having advanced, have prevented the enemy from reaching the town.
We receive assistance of those vessels from Seville and Carthagena, and we shall soon have one hundred. The most cautious measures are taken for the sake of safety.
At Cadiz, the magazines below the walls, which are bomb-proof, have been converted into places of refuge for the inhabitants. —Death and immediate execution have been proclaimed against whoever shall commit robbery. The town has offered 15,000 piastres, and the merchants 100,000 as a reward to those seamen who shall act gallantly. Gen. Massaredo has promised a thousand piastres to the crew who shall take or sink a British chaloupe.
The squadron is preparing to be in readiness to go to sea. General Massaredo has informed the commanders of vessels, that as soon as they shall have cleared the bay, he will make the signal for forming the line, which if any ship disobeys, instantly the commander shall be arrested, and the second in command shall take charge of the ship; if he shall fail, the third, and so on.
The court has returned an answer by the first courier from General Massaredo and has authorized him to act according to circumstances, with permission to him to take in Cadiz what money he wants, from the sums offered by the merchants to the king. We are assured, that the Spanish sailors appear to be much animated, two batteries being now finished, and tartanes being prepared with 36 pounder and furnaces for red hot balls.
The precautions and means of defence, makes us easy respecting the attack of the British.
ROME, July 7.
The agitation here as well as in the other parts of the states of the Church continues to be very great. The Pope yesterday went from the Vatican to the Quirinal palace, without acclamation and without crowd.
A letter is in circulation here, written by General Buonaparte to Cardinal Maltei, at Ferrara, in which the general says, that he is daily invited to Rome to give the people there better laws, and a constitution more agreeable to the rights of man.
BASLE, July 4.
It appears that the spirit of revolution which has every where led to such great calamities, is daily making sensible progress in Switzerland. —This country, hitherto so happy, enjoyed the most profound tranquility, while its neighbors were afflicted with a long and ruinous war, but during these few months, it appeared destined to become, in its turn, the theatre of disorder. The commotions which had broken out successively in Lugano, Locarno, Bellinzona, in Valais, and the countries under the government of the Abbe de St. Gall, &c. has been happily appeased, or at least appear to draw towards a conclusion. —This is, however, not the case with the revolution which has broken out in the Valteine. This country, has been for a long time subject to the Grisons league, which makes part of Switzerland subject to the Helvetic Body. The inhabitants have always displayed a restless and unsettled disposition, and have even made attempts at different periods, but without success, to shake off the yoke of the Grisons: the latter have only been able to maintain their power by granting many privileges to the Valteine.
Since the Valteine has seen the Milanese freed from the Austrian dominion, a violent degree of fermentation has prevailed in that country. At Sablio, Firano and in other places, societies under the denomination of POPULAR, have been formed for the discussion of political questions, and the principles of democracy are professed very openly in them. —The Lombard friends and brothers have fraternised with their neighbors; and in short, on the 12th of July the people rose in a mass, drove away all their civil officers, who were not natives of the country, and declared themselves FREE and INDEPENDENT. —Proclamations were immediately published to justify this measure, in which the inhabitants of the Valteine assign as the reason for it, the violation of their privileges, and the tyranny exercised over them by the Grisons. They at the same time proclaimed the RIGHTS OF MAN, and set about making a constitution.
BRUSSELS, July 31.
The following are the most certain accounts of the marches and countermarches of the troops of the army of the Sambre and Meuse towards the interior of the Republic.
Some days ago an order arrived for causing all the troops, as well as the artillery who had passed the ancient frontiers of France, to retreat; but on the 27th of July there came very pressing orders from Paris, for all the troops to march into the interior of the Republic. A column which had come from Charleroi to Namur, set off without resting for Givet, and all the troops in the neighborhood, and the Park of artillery set off on the same night for the interior.
It may be asked why these troops who are said to be destined for a maritime expedition, carry with them such a quantity of artillery and war-like stores? Why are they accompanied by flying artillery by four regiments of horse chasseurs, by dragons and hussars? Without answering all these important questions, we can only say, as a certain fact, that attempts are made to excite the troops against the legislative body. Wherever the detachments of the army of the Sambre and the Meuse have passed, they have shown the most dreadful want of discipline, pillaging their hosts, insulting them, and when they have complained, stigmatizing them with the names of Chouans and Royalists.
BOSTON, September 14.
RUSSIAN TREATY.
Every circumstance proves the folly at last of the British treaty, to say nothing more of authors. It has been a source of extreme mortification to every "true American," that this unhappy instrument was ever formed; as it is no less disgraceful to our national character, than subversive of our interests. The plea of necessity, framed by its friends, to justify this impolitic measure, is altogether hypothetical, and is not supported by the least evidence probable or possible. But if there was once reason to doubt, that reason is now at an end. The British minister, the same identical Grenville, has lately conceded to Russia the very point of a free navigation, even of enemy's goods, and in the present war, which he refused to America, while every body knows that the trade of this country is infinitely more consequential to England than that of Russia. A Russian merchantman, may now sail from Peterburgh, manned by French sailors, or Dutch or Spanish, directly to any ports in either Indies, take their colony produce on board, and carry it safe to any port in Europe. Naval stores are not contraband, much less provisions; nor in fact, any article except mere implements of war.
This same favor will no doubt be granted to Sweden and Denmark; —while the poor Americans, with their three frigates to protect them, must see their vessels stopped, searched, detained and confiscated by every picaroon.
The British treaty working both ways, allows to France the same rights it has expressly secured to Great Britain. And yet, blind to their interest, corrupted by their fears, or contaminated by foreign gold, thousands have approved this very treaty—which, even yet bids fair to ruin the country, by securing the full benefit of the carrying trade to foreign nations, and excluding our own citizens from this inestimable traffic.
September 18.
The bombardment of Cadiz, hitherto, has been mere English gasconade. They have employed two or three ketches only, in that service, and as usual, have made great noise to little purpose.
NEW-YORK, September 22.
Yesterday arrived here the ship Nestor, Captain Rogers, from Curacao. Just before he sailed, which was on the 26th of August, a sloop had arrived there from Leguira with the news of an insurrection on the Spanish Main—and that the insurgents had taken the fort at Leguira. Their object, it seems, is to obtain a free trade upon a similar footing with other ports belonging to European powers. Their plan is extensive, has been long in agitation, and is well digested.
Captain Rogers has no doubt of the above intelligence, for he conversed
with several gentlemen on the subject, who were on the Main at the time of the explosion.
September 28.
A gentleman arrived at Wilmington from Belfast writes, that the ship in which he came was boarded by a French privateer, by which he was informed, that a number of French and Dutch had landed in Ireland. How far this can be depended upon, the intelligent reader may judge. Another part of his intelligence bears an appearance of probability—that privateers, one of which boarded the same vessel, are fitted out from the island of Guernsey, manned by French emigrants, and provided with French and British colours, to be used occasionally for the purpose of piracy.
PHILADELPHIA, September 26.
VIVE LA BAGATELLE!
A Parisian Journalist, defending on the thoughtlessness of the French national character, illustrates his observations by the following pleasant story:
"The king of Bambou, had a minister of understanding, who lamented to his majesty the thoughtlessness of his subjects. The king of Bambou thought this no defect in state.—"Doctor, (said he to him) you ever delight to contemplate objects in the most gloomy colors. Believe me, thoughtlessness is the sister of gaiety. "We are ever ready to be merry in the absence of unpleasant feelings." "You think so" replied the minister, "With all my heart." Conversing thus, they walked along the banks of the Ganges. A beggar, seated upon the side of the river, asked them for charity. The minister threw a piece of money in to the beggar's hat; there was a hole in the hat, the piece of money fell through, rolled along and dropped into the river and was lost. "It is gone" said the beggar; "what was it?"—"A piece of copper."—"Was that all? the loss then is no great matter." The king and the minister continued their walk, while the king observed, "see there now, the advantage of thoughtlessness." Some hours after, as they returned, they again met the beggar, who had never moved from the spot. "Bestow your charity on the poor man" said he.—The minister pulled a ring from his finger, and threw it into the hat. The hole was still in it, and the ring fell through, rolled along and was lost in the river. "Gone again!" said the beggar; "What was it this time?" "A trifle," answered the minister, "A diamond worth two thousand rupees." "Two thousand rupees! (said the beggar,) O ill-starred wretch! O fatal thoughtlessness! Had I but mended that cursed hole when the piece of copper—" He sprang up, plunged headlong into the Ganges and was drowned. "See there" (said the minister) "the consequences of thoughtlessness."
We bear a strong resemblance to the king of Bambou's beggar; but have a care of the ring worth two thousand rupees.
MARTINSBURGH, September 21. We were last evening informed by a person, immediately from Baltimore, that in consequence of the increase of the yellow fever in that town and at the point, the inhabitants in general are removing into the country; From 25 to 30 died daily during the last week.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, October 18, 1797.
The British fleet lately employed in bombarding and blockading Cadiz, under the command of the Earl of St. Vincents, consisted of one ship of 110 guns; two of 100; three of 98; two of 90; twelve of 74; one of 64; one of 38; five of 36; five of 32; one of 28; two of 24; one of 20; one of 18; one of 16; and a sloop of 14 guns—in all 40 sail. The frightening of some old women and Spanish monks out of Cadiz, will hardly compensate for the expenditure of so much British powder.
NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS
This may at first blush, appear somewhat paradoxical, but upon the smallest investigation the mystery all vanishes. Most men are rather dissatisfied at reading a newspaper, unless it affords them some very interesting and important intelligence: But let us consider a moment: Does not nine-tenths to an hundred of this kind of intelligence, consist in the calamities of our fellow creatures; And if so, no news is comparatively good news.
A sleigh driving over the ice loaded with men and women, broke through, and all drowned: A vessel foundered at sea, or bilged on the rocks; the men perished or perhaps one or two saved, but suffered amazing hardships: Men robbed and murdered: A house burnt: A town laid in ashes, destroyed by an earthquake, or a violent inundation: thousands perished, and ruined: An obstinate engagement between two ships: A battle between two armies, with great effusion of human blood; hundreds, nay, thousands killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. —What we call important is most generally calamitous attended with wounds, bloodshed, misery and death, and when so is bad news: I say therefore, no news is good news. How beautiful is the order of nature! the planets move in their own orbits; the rivers in their own channels; and every good man in the way which nature and education have allotted him: No man is robbed; no house plundered; no town burnt; no sound of the warrior, and garments rolled in blood; no remarkable disaster befalls any one: But then there is a dearth of News, and the people feel uneasy. Newspapers, say they, are now a days hardly worth reading; But let us put a proper construction on all events, and we shall find that NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS; because we are then to suppose that harmony and good fortune pervades the world.
When the printer finds none of these calamitous matters to fill his paper with, he graces it, if he be a judicious man, with extracts and pieces on politics, husbandry, business, trade or morality; with now and then a sketch of wit and humour, which serve to exhilarate the spirits, inform the understanding, reform the manners, or mend the heart; which, though it be no news is highly preferable to bad news.

Also for making brandy and geneva equal in flavour and purity to that imported—There are upwards of 3000 lbs. of Holland juniper berries, and 1000 lbs. raisins, 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.

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 apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledgment 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 claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desirous that my land disputes might be terminated, 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, 'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their titles. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued it 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 Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people—they kindly pay they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentlemen if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be so—out most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning countenance, would reject it as I do.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE WITS. Wits there are in ev'ry town, One at least to ev'ry clown; Wits that pun, and wits that bite, Wits who read, and wits who write; Wits who walk, and wits who dance, Wits who ride, and wits who prance; Wits that sing, and wits that joke, Wits that snuff, and wits that smoke: Every one for fame contending, Something every one pretending. Punning, biting, Reading, writing, Walking, dancing, Riding, prancing, Singing, joking, Snuffing, smoking: Every one for fame or pelf, Popping up his own dear self. But the wits of greatest dash, Are the wits who have the cash; Dulness though the group befriending, These are ever witty spending; Wits with them with looks profound, Flourishes where they abound; Aided by the sparkling wine, The sun that always makes them shine.
ANECDOTE.
"Shipped by the Grace of God, &c." was formerly the universal preamble to a bill of lading, and "so God send the good ship to her desired port in safety," the pious conclusion. This phraseology not pleasing some of the Quakers and other conscientious persons, who did not approve of such light treatment of the Divine Name, Benjamin Franklin, who in the course of his business printed blank instruments, advertised, among the rest, "Bills of lading with or without the Grace of God."
Mind your own business, if you have not enough endeavor to get more, & don't intermeddle with that of other people.
