PARIS, May 18.
To learn the real destination of the Toulon fleet, says L'Amis des Loix, "even the gold of England has been expended in vain. Letters from La Vendee, state, that the English have attempted a descent near Sales. But this diversion cannot obstruct the execution of our grand project. The ensuing month of Prairial will disclose events as uncommon, as they are important. Certain it is, that the English will be attacked on a point where they possess but few means of defence. Their great preparations are as good as lost; and they will come too late."
TOULON, May 19.
It is certain that gen. Buonaparte embarked this morning at ten o'clock, on board admiral Bruey's ship l'Orient (formerly called the SansCulottes) a three-decker. The fleet set sail with a favorable wind. The transports with the infantry and cavalry, got under weigh at day break with 8 frigates. The transports to the number of 400, are off Hieres. Four Spanish frigates are just arrived; they have not seen any enemy in the Mediterranean. The female citizen Buonaparte remains on shore.
An immense number of infantry, with artillery, vast quantities of mortars, howitzers, furnaces, bombs, canister and grape shot, and other ammunition have been put on board. Men of letters, astronomers, geometricians and artists of every sort, have also embarked. The convoy from Genoa consisted of 31 sail, with ten thousand men on board.
Buonaparte has made a present of a pair of pistols to admiral Bruey, and has given a port-folio to the Commissary Nejez, with an inscription upon it. He assured madame Buonaparte that he should see her again very soon. Kleber, Berthier, and other generals, are embarked.
The following is the List of the Squadron.
Bruey, vice admiral, commander. Villeneuve, Duchella and Decrest, rear admirals. Dumanoir, chief of division, commanding the convoy.

LONDON, June 6.
Major general Fawcett having marched from Duncannon fort, with a company of the Meath regiment, was surrounded by a very large body, between Taghmon and Wexford, and defeated. The general effected his retreat to the fort. Official.
The town of Newtown Barry, was attacked, June 1st, by the rebels: they surrounded it in such a manner, that col. L'Estrange, at first retreated, in order to collect his force—he then attacked them, and drove them from the town with great slaughter, and pursued them several miles. Five hundred of the rebels were killed. The colonel's whole force was about 330. Official.
A party of rebels in endeavoring to enter carlow, have been defeated. Yesterday's Irish mails brought news to June 2. The rebels appear to derive military instruction from their frequent disasters. In the north of Ireland, which has affected much loyalty, such indications of revolt have appeared, that martial law is declared there. This was done at Belfast on Sunday last.
June 7.
A mail from Dublin, and one from
Waterford, arrived yesterday, with news to the 3d. No action had taken place since the 1st inst. The rebellion still rages with unabated violence, in the counties of Wicklow, Carlow and Wexford, and it is feared is extending to Kilkenny and Tipperary, the former of which is proclaimed under martial law. The rebels still hold the city, and part of Wexford, from whence women and children have fled to Milford, in Wales; where those who have long existed in affluence and ease, are necessitated to buy lodgings in barns, or sleep in the fields.
DUBLIN, June 2.
The house of lords met on Thursday, and after a conversation, in which lord Dilloo, the earl of Clare, lord Somerton, lord Glenworth, &c. joined, relative to the conduct of gen. Dundas, against the rebels, their lordships adjourned to Monday.
The following proclamation was distributed on Tuesday, through the county of Kilkenny:
"Major general sir Charles Asgil, commanding his majesty's forces in the county of Kilkenny, having received from his excellency the lord lieutenant, full powers to put down rebellion, and to punish rebels in a summary manner, according to the martial law, does hereby give notice to all his majesty's subjects, that he is determined to execute the powers entrusted to him, in the most vigorous manner, for the immediate suppression of the same; and that all persons acting in the present rebellion, or in any wise aiding or abetting therein, will be treated by him as rebels, and punished accordingly."
"Major general sir Charles Asgil, hereby requires all the inhabitants of the county of Kilkenny and the county of the city (not including the town and its ingrates) the magistrates, military persons in uniform, and all those with passes from sir Charles Asgil, excepted, to remain within their respective dwellings from 9 o'clock at night till five in the morning, under pain of punishment."
A similar proclamation was issued for the city, and Irishtown, but allowing the citizens an hour and a half more in the evening to be out of their dwellings.
All business that does not in a manner immediately relate to food and cloathing, is absolutely at a stand in this city.
Yesterday, the right honorable, the lord mayor, attended by Mr. Dawson, the high constable, spent above two hours searching all parts under the parliament house, lest any combustibles should be there concealed, by any contrivance of the rebels, who now stop at no hellish machination to favor their horrid purposes.
BOSTON, August 18.
By captain Hopkins, arrived since our last from Leghorn, we have received advices of the progress of the French armament under the command of general Buonaparte, which has excited some interest in the United States. Capt. H. informs, that on the 5th of June he saw the Toulon fleet pass Leghorn, bound up the Mediterranean, and counted about 180 sail, six of whom appeared to be of the line;—other persons ascertained the number to be 240, and the line of battle ships to be twelve. A few days after capt. H. spoke an English 18 gun cutter, which was in quest of Sir Horatio Nelson's fleet, which had been seen between Toulon and Corsica.

ALEXANDRIA, August 18.
Arrived on Thursday evening last, the Schooner Exchange, capt. P. Magruder; and the Schooner Susannah, capt. R. Stephens, from Martinico, under British convoy.
A few days previous to capt. Magruder's sailing from Martinico, a ship arrived in 25 days from London, which brought information, that the French had relaxed very much in their preparations against England; and that they had ceased to grant commissions to privateers, in consequence of so many of their seamen falling into the hands of the British, which the Directory much feared would prevent them from manning the ships of war, and transports, destined for the secret expedition. The British cruisers had been particularly successful against the channel privateers, 21 of which had been carried into Portsmouth and Plymouth, a few days before the sailing of the above ship.
Arrived last evening, the Schooner Betsey, captain Emmons, from Grenada, last from Tortola, which place she left the 2d August. Sailed in company with 20 American vessels, under convoy of the armed brig, Nymph, capt. Palmer, of New-York. Fell in with the brig Sally, from Cayenne, bound to Philadelphia, with 50 Americans on board, all of whom had been condemned without a hearing, and the hands thrown into prison, where they had to subsist on half a pound of putrid beef, and the same weight of bread per day.
PHILADELPHIA, August 23.
On the 10th inst. a message was received by the Senate of New-York, from the governor of that state, by his private secretary, in the words following, viz,
"Gentlemen, his excellency the governor of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, has in a letter dated the 12th day of last month, transmitted to me for the purpose of being laid before the Legislature of this state, a concurrent and unanimous resolution of the house of representatives and of the senate of that commonwealth, and approved by the governor. The object of it is to obtain an amendment to the constitution of the United States, to provide against the introduction of a foreign influence into our national councils."
I think it my duty to lay these interesting papers before you, and to recommend the important subject to your consideration."

Albany, August 10th, 1798,
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Algeziras to his father in this city, dated May 19, 1798.
"Every day it is expected the English and Spanish will make peace. Yesterday the Spanish admiral's barge went to Gibraltar, and, it is said got permission for the frigates and cutters that are in this harbour to pass to Malaga without interruption. They have just now done firing and hoisted the flag of truce. There is now in sight a large fleet from Malaga, with the French prizes from that port."

WASHINGTON, (K.) September 8.
The judges and clerk of the last election for Mason county, met at the court-house in this town, on the 4th inst. to examine the votes, which had previously been sealed up, in order to ascertain the voice of the people respecting the call of a convention; on examination it appeared that there were

Lexington, September 12, 1798.
At a meeting of the officers of the 7th regiment, and a number of other Citizens of the county of Madison, assembled at the court-house thereof, on the 7th of September, 1798, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted.
1st. Resolved, that the extension of commerce has been too much the darling object of the Federal government, and that to this cause is to be attributed the present unhappy war with the French Republic—a war which does not offer any rational hope of compensation to those citizens who have been injured by French depredations, nor
of reimbursement of the expences which it may occasion.
2d. Resolved, that the powers of raising armies and borrowing money, as now vested in the president, appear to us to be dangerous and alarming.
3d. Resolved that the bills called the Alien and Sedition bills, are infringements of the constitution, and of natural right; and that we cannot approve or submit to them.
4th. Resolved, that our representative, Mr. Davis, has been truly our representative.
5th Resolved, that as every freeman ought to be presumed ready to oppose foreign invasion, we think it unnecessary to express our willingness to do so.
6th. Resolved, that we are averse to intimate connexions with any foreign power, but more particularly with Great Britain; an alliance with that country being impolitic and inconsistent with the principles of the two governments.
7th. Resolved that Mr. Davis be requested to lay the foregoing resolutions before the legislature and president of the United States.
Supplementary Resolution.
Resolved, that to ascertain more certainly the sentiments of the people of Kentucky in general, the legislature thereof be requested, by our delegates to take the above resolutions into consideration.
WILLIAM IRVINE, Chm.
The yellow fever increases daily, in Philadelphia.—The number of deaths from the 18th to the 25th, were from twenty to thirty, per day.
From the reports of the physicians, (says the Universal Gazette of August 23d) though very imperfect, it is probable that there are near ONE HUNDRED new cases that occurred during the last twenty-four hours.
On account of the increase of the fever, and a number of inhabitants having removed from the city, and consequently the impracticability of collecting taxes, the select and common councils of Philadelphia, have authorized the mayor to borrow 10,000 dollars, to be applied to the purposes of watering the city.
IMPORTANT FACTS.
TOWARDS the close of the last session of congress, the president nominated his son in law, colonel Smith, to be adjutant-general to the army of the United States. The senate postponed the consideration of the nomination to the next day. Mr. North, a member of the senate, finding from the temper of that body, that the nomination would be rejected, because colonel Smith, notwithstanding his connexion with the president, was known to be a republican, waited on the secretary of war, and recommended that the nomination should be withdrawn; but this not being done, the senate did, on the next day, reject the nomination. Upon the president's being notified of it, he immediately sent down a nomination of Mr. North to fill that office. As Mr. North had not wished, or expected such an appointment, his nomination was universally understood to have proceeded from the president's resentment of the conduct of the senate, and of Mr. North's supposed opposition to colonel Smith's appointment. Mr. North resigned the appointment; and the president then declared, that he would make no other nomination to that office: and he suffered the senate to adjourn, without having appointed any person to fill that office, so highly important and necessary in an army which is yet to be organized.
Jonathan Dayton, the speaker of the house of representatives, who had formerly been a clamorous republican, but who, for some time past has, for certain reasons, been a vehement aristocrat; and who was not only vociferous for war during the last session of congress himself, but loud in his abuse of every person who did not think with him on that subject, repeatedly declaring, that no man was worthy the name of an American, who was not ready and willing to hazard both life and fortune in such a contest, was nominated by the president as a colonel of artillery; but upon this worthy patriot's being informed of the appointment he had received, he repeatedly declared—"it will not do—it will not do."—What passed between him and the president that evening, is amongst

the secrets of the state, which must not be divulged; but this much may be told, the president the next day nominated him as a brigadier general, informing the senate at the same time, that the nomination which had been made of him the day before, as a colonel, proceeded from a mistake. And Dayton joyfully accepted this last appointment.
OBSERVATIONS.
Several important reflections suggest themselves to us, upon considering the above facts. It is evident, that the president considers every thing appertaining to, or in the gift of the government, as his estate; that it is his intention to divide it as such, amongst every branch of his family; and that in the execution of this honest design, after having heaped office after office on his booby son, his paternal affection for his family induced him to make this abortive attempt to provide for his daughter's husband also. Will this disappointment have a tendency to satisfy the president with the tenure by which he at present holds this estate; or will it not make him the more anxious to reduce to practice his favorite theory of hereditary right; and to remove every obstacle which now obstructs his wishes, to divide that estate according to his will and pleasure.
The senate, though submissive and obedient to the president's will in all national measures, would not, even to please him, give up the additional chance of obtaining offices, which they and their friends now derive from the rule laid down by the president himself, to exclude all republicans from office. This proves that the manner in which this estate is to be divided, forms the principal object of their care and attention. But it was an act of ingratitude in them, as long as the president generally conferred all offices on themselves, their friends and party, not to consider Col. Smith's case as a proper exception to the general rule; because it certainly was both the duty and the right of the president to provide for the whole of his family, however exceptional any particular members of it might be.
It will be worth the trouble it will cost, to ascertain, certainly, in what the mistake, as to Dayton's nomination, really consisted. No man can be fool enough to believe, that the president actually made a mistake in nominating him as a colonel, instead of a brigadier-general; especially as on the day that he made the first nomination, no officer was nominated of a higher rank than a colonel; besides, mistakes never happen in such important nominations. The mistake then must either have happened from a misunderstanding of the terms of the contract entered into with Dayton for his services; or if no such special contract was made with him, as to the value of the services which he had actually rendered, at the time of his nomination.
But let this mistake have happened in whichsoever of these ways it may have done, it reflects the greatest honor on Dayton's patriotism and independence, that he had resolution enough to refuse to receive any thing less than his price; and it is a high proof of the liberality and gratitude of the president, that he so readily consented to pay him more than he had declared the day before, he thought his services had merited, according to the scale by which Dayton himself estimated those services, and at a time too when the president's own family were not fully provided for.
It must be a pleasing and consoling reflection to the people of America, if they should be borne down by the weight of taxes which have been already, or may be hereafter imposed, for the carrying on of the present necessary and politic war; a war which the most unceasing and honest endeavors of our rulers could not avert; that the money which they must pay in their taxes will be expended in fardaries to officers selected by the president without favor, affection, or partiality, from all the citizens of America, and approved by the senate from the purest motives—to officers, who, without regard to personal emolument or aggrandizement, have now swept forward to bear all the inconveniences and dangers attendant on a war, which their love to their country, its liberty and independence, induced them so strongly to advocate.
All true Americans ought to rejoice, that there is so much wisdom and virtue presiding in their councils, and so
much real patriotism and disinterestedness in those who are to execute what is there planned.

C. FREEMAN,
PHYSICIAN & SURGEON,
Late of the Indian towns, from the North-Western Territory of the United States, now at Lexington in Kentucky.
RESPECTFULLY informs the public, that he has been regularly bred to the art of PHYSIC and SURGERY, studied three and an half years with doctor Laurence, V. D. Veer, an eminent practitioner, and late president of the medical society of the state of New-Jersey; attended doctor William Shippen's lectures on anatomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia—received a license to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New-Jersey, 13th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the supreme court of the state of New-Jersey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1783, by the council and general assembly of that state, for regulating the practice of phyic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has resided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a number of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now (with the blessing of God) cures and gives relief in most diseases incident to the human body—viz. Fevers, inflammations, eruptions, hemorrhages, fluxes, fits, cramps, convulsions, head-aches, sore-eyes, bleeding at the nose, colds, coughs, pain in the breast, spitting of blood, pains in the stomach, indigestion, night sweats, inward debilities, low spirits, vapours in men, hysterics in women, difficulty of making water, bloody urine, costiveness and rheumatism, effectually destroys worms, cures flux and wandering pains arising in different parts of the body, the effects of the improper use of mercury, green wounds, old sores, ulcers, burns, scalds, cankers, scald-head in children, piles and fistulas, the whites in women, and all feminal weaknesses in both sexes; the bite of the viper, rattle snake, and all venomous bites effectually cured.
The many cures performed within four years past, which will fully appear (to any gentleman who will please to call upon him, being too lengthy for this paper) by papers and vouchers of cures performed, now in his hands, properly attested, and whose authenticity cannot be denied, flatters himself is sufficient to convince the public that he has been successful in curing diseases, and that this is not intended as an imposition upon mankind.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SONNET. —By Mrs. ROBINSON.
Oh Liberty! transcendent and sublime, Born on the mountain's solitary crest; Nature thy nurse, thy fire unconquer'd Time, Truth, the pure inmate of thy glowing breast.
Oft dost thou wander by the billowy deep, Scattering the sands that bind the level shore; Or tow'ring brave the desolating roar, That bids the tyrant tempest lash the steep.
'Tis thine, when sanguinary demons low'r, Amidst the thick'ning hosts to force their way— To quell the minions of oppressive power, And flame the flaunt'ring nothing of a day.
Still shall the human mind thy name adore, Till chaos reigns, and worlds shall be no more.
ANECDOSE.
Some ladies walking in the fields, met a labourer with a little kid, which he was carrying to market. "See! see!" said one of them, "what a pretty little goat, though it has no horns." The rustic cried, "Ladies, he is not married."
