WILLIAM STEELE

EXTRACTS FROM THE COURIER DU CORPS DU LEGISLATIF, 28TH MAY.
Military situation of the Republic, Dissolution of the Armistice upon the Rhine.
The pen can scarce follow the impetuous march of the general, who in less than fifteen days hath conquered the whole North of Italy, hath vanquished one of the most famous generals, and hath struck one of those masterly strokes which hath changed the political face of Europe. Already the neighboring powers have purchased by submission and by military contributions, the preservation of their estates; the others press forward, not merely to acknowledge the Republic, but to sue for its friendship. The courts of Naples and of Rome began to feel their most important interests. Tuscany congratulates itself upon its neutrality: Venice drives from its territories the emigrants, together with their chief, and refuses an asylum to Beauhieu and his vanquished army. The explosion of this thunderbolt hath rebounded on the banks of the Rhine: it hath enflamed our armies with emulation, and hath filled our enemies with consternation. The court of Vienna, for not knowing how to renounce the possession of some ungrateful and rebellious provinces in the North, now beholds the most rich and most beautiful part of all its estates escaping from it in the South. Shaken by the same blow, England in vain attempts to avenge itself of our successes by new perfidies. Thus France, which they would efface from the map of Europe, has become now the most distinguished part of it. That Republic, which they thought to have divided and shared, now limits the estates of its neighbors. Its immense resources, doubled by the spirit of liberty, which resistance has exalted by the habit of conquests to which they have forced it, by the force of a constitutional government, which they have strengthened by attempting to overturn, now assure to it an influence as extensive as splendid. While we are yet wondering at the inconceivable rapidity with which the Sardinian and Austrian armies have been overthrown by the first shock of our warriors, armies, whose union formed a mass so formidable for its numbers, but appeared weak to those who contemplated the superiority of freemen over slaves! While we are yet admiring the skill with which they were separated from each other, by the manoeuvres of our generals, and successively destroyed; while these splendid scenes are yet before your eyes, should they not inspire us with hopes that our numerous and warlike armies on the Rhine will soon satisfy that impatient desire of victory, which a noble emulation hath excited in the breasts of those heroes who compose them and that by a heroism equal to that of their brothers in Italy, they will shortly subjugate a river, yet famous for the battles by which the ancient Gauls rendered its banks illustrious.
LONDON, May 24. Peace is said by the Parisian Journalists, to be negotiating in favor of all the states of Italy excepting those belonging to the House of Austria. It appears that even the Pope will not be excepted.
The treaty with the King of Naples is already advanced. One of his agents is arrived at Paris, to treat with the Directory.
It is thought likewise that Negotiations are opened or ready to be opened with the house of Austria.
When the treaty concluded with the King of Sardinia was submitted to the Council of Five Hundred some of the members remarked, that the terms were too degrading for a conquered Prince who submitted to the terms imposed on him who was certainly intitled to that
respect which is ever due to misfortune.
In the sitting of the 9th inst. a report of the celebrated Abbe Seyes was read to the Council, containing the strongest threats against England, and exhorting the government to turn the whole force of the Republic and to direct the whole weight of their vengeance against her.
The daily publication of a newspaper is not equal to the task of recording the rapidity of French conquests. We scarcely put forth our Journal containing the account of some General routed or kingdom overthrown as we are overtaken by some new victory, more astonishing and more splendid than its predecessors! Thus the narrative of the wonderful successes which we gave in yesterday's paper, is to be followed by the recital of a more brilliant and decisive achievement which came to our hand last night. All the Paris papers of the 20th, and the L.E. clair of the 21st inst. arrived yesterday the 23rd. They contain the letters from Buonaparte and Salicetti of the most memorable battle which has happened during the whole of this short and unparallelled campaign - the most memorable not only for the undaunted bravery with which it was fought but for its consequences. It has concluded their brilliant campaign. It has opened to them all Italy, & we have no doubt but that before this time we have received the homage of every one of its Princes, and have dictated the terms upon which they will permit them to keep their territories: - and even in this, governments which call themselves regular ought to blush; - for if we may judge from the plunder of Poland and its exiled sovereign, their only rule of conduct in victory is to divide the spoil. The letters of Buonaparte and Salicetti will best describe the wonderful effects of the enthusiasm which has led on the armies of France, and which has made the battle of the bridge of Lody one of the most shining in modern times. It cannot be denied, but that where men fight for Liberty, there is an ardour totally unknown to the mere obedience of discipline. It is not the French but the charm of Liberty, that has thus in a single month subdued all Italy, and the torrent will be irresistible if the insanity of Courts and Cabinets still opposes itself to her peace establishment in France. Good God, what an epoch is the present! On the very brink of being deserted by all our Allies, and standing alone the brunt of the battle which the French accuse us of having provoked, the people of England are busied only in listening to the treacherous flatteries of those who for three years have refused even to enquire into the principles or the conduct of the war in which we are involved! Can the ruin of a people be remote, who in such a moment elect the valets of Lords or the sycophants of Ministers to be their representatives in the Senate? Let us hope that they will roast themselves at length into exertion.
Lexington, September 10.
We are informed that on the night of Wednesday last, a company of men attempted to break into the house of - Troutman tavern-keeper in Stanford (at Lincoln court house,) and were fired on by the owner of the house, one of them killed on the spot, and another wounded, supposed to be mortal.
FRENCH VICTORY ON THE RHINE.
Received at Salem from Bourdeaux where it was published in a hand bill.
FROM PARIS, June 7. Duchatel, representative of the people, to citizen Duplantier president of the administration in the Gironde department.
"As a post, going from Bour-
deaux with dispatches, has offered his services, I seize with joy this opportunity to inform you of the good news which will soon spread far and wide among our good citizens. I promised you in my last letter, the particular events in Italy. The paper to which I refer you, will give you ample satisfaction. It is not only in Italy that they signalize their courage: they have gathered laurels upon the borders of the Rhine; they have gathered them at their first steps. Gen Jourdan, the worthy rival of Buonaparte defended the Duke of Wirttemberg. Accept the substance of a communication from the Directory, addressed to us this day upon this occasion:
"After our success in Italy, we expected the Emperor would sue for peace. - We are undeceived. Austria has broken the truce that the French had made for the good of humanity But the army of the Sambre and the Meuse has undertaken to make them repent of it. On the 30th of May the republican army took many advantageous positions on the banks of the Hundsruck. On the 31st the enemy attempted in vain to dislodge them. The divisions of Generals Marceau & Championnet contributed greatly to the success of our arms. On the same evening the armed force commanded by Gen. Kleber, and supported by other divisions, passed the Sieg and attacked the enemy, who lost 2400 men of which 1000 are prisoners and a whole staff of officers. The army pursued the enemy with their bayonets, and flew to fresh victories. The Directory has promised to publish the circumstances of this memorable affair in the official journal.
"We enjoy a victory of a different kind and it is over some late attempts of infamous speculators, in concert with England, to destroy the credit of our paper money. These wretches are as completely defeated as the Austrians and despair of any future success. The mandates, which their infamous business had depreciated to 66 per cent. have risen suddenly, and are at this moment up to 86, and things have a most favorable aspect. - The legislative body is firmly determined to support the law of the 16th February. - You will find proofs of it in what I subjoin. I cannot describe the joy of all friends of the country. What a joyful sight: Each congratulating his friend, and continuing to repeat. 'We shall at last conquer all our enemies the speculators as well as the fatteners of despots.
BLESSED EFFECTS OF JAY'S TREATY.
MR. BRADFORD:
You having been an early adventurer in Kentucky, and thereby had an opportunity of knowing something of the origin of the greater part of all claims to lands in this state, I must beg the favor of you to inform me (if in your power) on what right that claim called the Ohio Company's Grant is founded. - The embarrassed situation in which at least 6000 families will be placed, provided that grant should be established, is truly alarming; and notwithstanding there are very few, who appear to believe the claim a good one, yet many discover great anxiety, when discoursing on the subject. The threats and imprecations thrown out against the company and their agents, and against Jay's treaty and its abettors, plainly evince a disposition not to submit to the claim at any rate.
If you are not in possession of the information required, please to insert the above in your paper; and any gentleman who is, will please to make it public through the same channel, and thereby receive the thanks of a very great number of the citizens of Bourbon county.

Saunders is about five feet eight inches high, dark eyes and hair, and dark complexion, rather slender built; took with him a light infantry cap, and some uniform cloathing. The above reward will be given for delivering them to any officer of the legion, or securing them in any jail in the United States, and all reasonable expenses paid, or TEN DOLLARS for either.
