As the scheme of a lottery in the town of Paris and county of Bourbon, for raising the sum of 2500 dollars for opening the navi- gation of the south fork of Licking river, published in the Kentucky Gazette; would subject the Man- agers to be accountable for one third of the tickets which might be in their hands at the commence- ment of the drawing, agreeable to the scheme published—The Man- agers have therefore resolved, that the drawing of said lottery shall not commence until the whole of the tickets can be disposed of.
By order of the Board.

PARIS, May 8.
ARMY OF ITALY.
A letter from gen. Buonaparte, of the 17th Floreal, addressed to the Executive Directory, mentioning, that the army of Italy had taken possession of the town of Tortone, in which they found a very fine fortress, which cost the king of Sardinia more than fifteen millions. We have found therein 100 pieces of brass cannon, and casemates for 3000 men.
He adds, that the day after the suspension of arms, the army was put in movement. Beaulieu has evacuated all his positions and has passed the Po at Valence, with all his troops.
Upon the invitation of the king of Sardinia, the Neapolitans have surrendered Valence to a Piedmontese garrison.
The convention of Holland, (Batavia) has formally declared war against Great Britain.
Dronet, who has been arrested as the leader in the last Paris insurrection, is the same person who stopped Louis XVI, when on his flight from Paris to Mont Medi.
LONDON, May 10.
A report prevailed yesterday in the fashionable circles, that the king of Prussia had made an irruption into Holland. What foundation there is for such a report we cannot pretend to say; we only know that nothing which his Prussian majesty can do, however extraordinary or unexpected, can possibly create astonishment in our minds.
BOSTON, July 12.
From Lisbon.
Schooner Catharine, Cox, in 45 days. Reports were confidently circulated, that Spain and England had commenced war against each other, and the reports appeared to be credited by two Spanish frigates there which immediately sailed for Spain.
From France.
Capt. Tibbets.—His verbal information is, that hostilities had commenced on the Rhine, by a victory decisively favorable to the French; and in which 10,000 men were killed. This victory was soon after followed by another, of almost equal brilliancy, and ending in the death of 8000 men.
Letters from Paris, rate flour in that city at five dollars per barrel. Letters also state, that it was hoped through the intercession of Mr. Monroe, that the decree of the government ordering foreigners to quit Paris, would be ameliorated so as to allow Americans to continue in that city—at present they are removed.
The verbal information by the arrival from France mentions, that the campaign on the Rhine had opened no less successfully to the French, than in Italy.—That two engagements had taken place, in which many thousands fell.—We have seen no printed or written account of these battles; but the last papers stated that the armies on both sides the Rhine, were in continual movement, and practising various manoeuvres to conceal from each other the real operations contemplated. Such a body of hostile men could not long be neighbors without coming to blows.
SAVANNAH, June 28.
Arrived on Friday last, the French privateer Jean Creole, cap. Mitchell, from a cruise of three months, during which time, it is said, they have taken a number of valuable prizes, among which was a Spanish ship in the force trade; and from a prisoner which they liberated in this place, we are informed they took from her 25,000 dollars in specie.
NEW-YORK, July 9.
Letters from Havre of May 19, and from Paris of May 11, by the arrival at Boston, state, that there were 20,000 barrels of flour stored
in Havre, which could not be sold at 6 crowns the barrel, and that Rice was selling at Bourdeaux at 14 livres tournois. The editor has also received letters from Paris by his arrival, extracts from which to-morrow. His correspondent says, "I think it not improbable, that the French northern and southern armies which are 400 miles asunder, will form a junction in the heart of Germany."
COMMUNICATION.
15 per ct. was yesterday offered as an insurance only against British piracy, the owner risking the dangers of seas and the French; which was refused. A pretty proof this, in what manner the friends to Britain depend on her faith and friendship to wards us. [Diary.]
July 15.
Extract of a letter to the Editor, via Boston, dated Paris, May 8, 1795.
"We have undoubted intelligence that the enemies of France, in Italy, have been reduced, within a month, 25,000.—The King of Sardinia has given up Alexandria and other posts, who permits the French to enter Turin at pleasure.—He has sued for peace—no doubt honorable terms will be granted as usual by the French, who, I am confident, do not fight for territory, but to thwart the infamous confederation at Palnitz, and secure their own liberty."
Extract of a letter to the Editor, via Boston dated Paris April 25, 1795.
"Since I wrote to you the 23d inst. we have further advices, that our brave allies the French, pursued their success; and, within three days after, surrounded the Austrian camp, killed their chief commander, & 2000 that were under him, but none on a level with him, and made 8000 prisoners. The strong post of Cairo, &c. &c. with many flags, and an immense quantity of arms, were taken. Gen. Buonaparte, commanded the French. It is probable I may shortly have further important intelligence to communicate. I think it not improbable, that the French Northern and Southern armies, which are four hundred miles asunder, will form a junction in the very heart of Germany."
July 16.
By the arrival of the ship Three Friends, yesterday afternoon, in 48 days from Amsterdam, we learn that the inhabitants of that city were placed in a disagreeable situation. There were a body of citizens to the number of 8 or 900, called cannoniers, of the lowest class in the society, who were allowed to wear side arms.
They had lately assembled every night in gangs, and ranged about the city like madmen, in several instances committing murder. The municipality justly alarmed at these proceedings, gave orders on the 11th of May for them to assemble in front of the Stadhuis, and surrender their arms. The cannoniers assembled on the day appointed; and the light horse, and the rest of the militia, were ordered to surround them in order to disarm them. The cannoniers however remained firm, determined to surrender only with their lives. With this disposition they remained from twelve o'clock at mid-day until twelve at night.
At about half past twelve at night, they entered the Stadhuis and forcibly liberated three or four of their party, who had been confined for murder: who were next day seen to parade the streets of the city unmolested. A body of French troops had been sent to keep the peace of the city.
July 19.
Yesterday arrived at the port, the ship Nancy, Drummond, in 66 days from Newry, in Ireland, having on board 450 passengers, in good health.—It is to be hoped, that those whose business it is, will not forget the melancholy fate which attended the emigrants who landed in this city about this season last year.
Also arrived yesterday, in 46 days from Bourdeaux the ship Fame, Capt. Abel. Spoke ship Eliza from Charleston June 3, within a days sail of Bourdeaux.
As this vessel sailed about the 1st of June we expected to be able to announce some recent intelligence from the Republic of France, but no papers came by her.—This one important point is however established by this arrival viz. that Peace with Sardinia is definitively concluded, and that on terms exceedingly advantageous to the French Republic.
By the Minerva, Capt. Clarkson, from Amsterdam, via Halifax, we learn, that the ship Congress, Thomas Reed, master, from Amsterdam bound for this port, was captured some time since by the Assistance, a British frigate, and carried into Halifax, where she and her cargo were libelled, condemned, and sold. Capt. Reed came in the Minerva, and brought this intelligence. The Congress belonging to J. K. Huffman of this city.
July 20.
Extract of a letter from Cap. Francois, dated 9 Messidor June 27.
"The 5th of this month (23d June) a division or fleet (one division) making up the compliment with those that accompanied the Commissioners, arrived at the port of the cape. The news from France is good; the enemies are defeated on every side."
"The internal troubles of the colony are finally at an end, as it respects its alarms; the chiefs of the revolutionists sent to France; Villate is of the number; and what is very happy for us is, that we have been obliged to spill no more blood. Pardon on one side, to those who lay down their arms, & a formidable army ready to go against those who refuse to do it on the other these are measures which have happily succeeded."
"The English in turn will now feel the impetuosity of the Republican bayonets, which had been diverted from their true object by interior commotions. Our attention will now solely be fixed against the English, who have themselves come to awaken and unite us by attacking fort Bombard, which, guarded by a small national corps, was obliged to surrender after four hours resistance. The attention of Gen. Toussaint was immediately drawn to this point, and precautions are taken to prevent this little advantage being of any consequence to the enemy, by cutting off all communication. On the 3d we attacked and took fort Pleiss, which communicated with Fort Bombard and the Mole in which affair 102 English and impious emigrants who defended it, and refusing to surrender, were killed: we lost 30 men."
"The culture of the plantations of St. Domingo already recommence; and if the enemies to our present public affairs do not create new troubles every circumstance inspires new hopes of future prosperity."
"I forgot an anecdote which appeared singular to me; 15 of the English cavalry in a sortie from the Mole, bound to fort Bombard, fell in with one of our ambuscade (not knowing the communication was cut off) and seven of them were left dead on the field of battle; among whom was found a woman with a musket on her shoulder."
PHILADELPHIA, July 20. AUTHENTIC INTELLIGENCE FROM ST. DOMINGO.
CAPE, June 24.
Villate and his accomplices are embarked on board the Hyena, sloop of war, and sent to France, where they are to stand their trial.
Dispatches transmitted by Roume (a member of the Colonial commission) from Santo Domingo, and arrived at the Cape on the 23d June, announced the arrival of Richery's squadron, composed of 9 ships of the line, 10 frigates, four
sloops of war, and four armed transports with troops on board, and five millions in specie.
This squadron, has in its passage made 22 prizes, among which is an English frigate and a sloop of war.
The corps which marched under the orders of Rochambeau, Pageot and Toussaint was composed of 300 troops of the line and 5000 Africans intended against Cape Nicholas-Mole; they have already rendered themselves masters of Bombard, where they surrounded a corps of above 300 English horse, and made them prisoners; they pushed forwards, and attacked an advanced post near the Mole, supported by two pieces of artillery, which they took after having put to the sword the troops that guarded the post.
It is generally believed that e're long Cape Nicholas-Mole and the whole portion of St. Domingo possessed by the English, will fall into the hands of the Republicans, for the enemy in those quarters are completely at variance amongst themselves.
BALTIMORE, July 13.
Yesterday arrived the brig Harriot, capt. Atkinson, from Cape Francois, 35 days. Left there—Brig Fell's Point, Cowan, Schooner Sillers, Blays, and Schooner Ketsey and Sally, Wilson, all of Baltimore.
Capt. Atkinson informs, that a few days before he sailed, a fleet of 5 sail arrived from Brest, commanded by citizen——, late of the Madusa, who was on board Le Vengeance, of 50 guns. Three of the squadron were armed en flute, and captured on their passage three British transports, and a Portuguese vessel, all of which they destroyed. They also took a Bermudian sloop from Turk's Island for Barbadoes, with dispatches. And finding her a runner, they manned and sent her for the Cape; she unfortunately ran on Abrolhos bank and was lost; The crew saved and carried into Turk's Island; the governor of which picked the Schooner Willing Maid, capt. How, of Boston, and sent her to the Cape, with the prisoners to be exchanged.
Great preparations were making at the cape for a secret expedition, vast quantities of warlike stores had been landed at different times by the French. Cape Nicholas-Mole was thought to be the object of the enterprise; at which place it is said there are now 7000 troops.
Gen. Toussaint had invested fort Bombard, which he expected to reduce. The British had made two attempts to relieve the fort, but had failed in both—the succours being intercepted were made prisoners by the French. From the appearance of things, much blood would be shed this summer in that ill fated island.
An American brig, with about 70 horses (probably from Norfolk) bound to the Mole, by mistake went to Port de-Paix, and was immediately taken possession of by a few citizens. The horses were expected at the Cape, the day the Harriot sailed.
The Toulon division, consisting of 7 sail of the line and a number of frigates, were hourly expected to arrive.
A Spanish fleet had arrived at port St. Domingo about ten days before the Harriot left the Cape.
It was said, the Medusa and La Renomee frigates were to sail on a cruise in a few days.
The French in general were in high spirits.

Extract from Burke's Letter. Abbe Sieye, has whole nests of pigeon-holes full of constitutions,

ready made; picked, sorted and numbered; suited to every season and every fancy: some with the top of the pattern at the bottom, & some with the bottom at the top; some plain some flowered, some distinguished for their simplicity; others for their complexion: some of blood colour; some of hone de Paris; some with directories: others without direction; some with councils of elders and councils of youngsters; some without any council at all; some where the electors choose the representatives others where the representatives choose the electors. Some in long coats and some in short cloaks; some with pantalettes; some without breeches. Some with five shillings qualifications; some totally unqualified.
