FRANCE. ARMY OF ITALY. Letter from Gen. Berthier, chief of the Etat Major of Italy, to General Barraquey D. Hillier.
"Head quarters at Milan, 8th Frimaire, Nov. 28, 5th year." "I informed you, general, by the last bulletin which I sent you, that, after having beaten the troops commanded by general Alvinzy in person, Arcole the commander in chief, made his dispositions to attack the column commanded by general Davidovich, who had brought his advanced posts as far as Castlenovo."
"On the first Frimaire, the commander in chief gave orders to attack the enemy, who, repulsed from position to position, effected his retreat with precipitation. His rear guard was very ill treated, and partly cut off from the heights of Rivoli, of which we remain masters."
"Different detached corps pursued him all night above the Corona and along the Adige. We have made in this day 1,100 prisoners, amongst whom is Count Lherback, and taken 4 pieces of cannon and 6 caissons." (Signed) BERTHIER."
Buonaparte, commanding the army of Italy, to Citizen Carnot, member of the Executive Directory.
"Head quarters at Verona, Brumaire 29, Nov. 19, 5th year."
"The destinies of Italy begin to brighten; yet one victory to-morrow, of which I have little doubt, and I hope before ten days to write to you from head quarters at Mantua. Never was a field of battle so much disputed as that of Arcole; I have scarcely any more generals; their devotedness and courage are without example. The general of brigade, Lasne, came to the field of battle before he was cured of the wound which he received at Govertolo. He was wounded twice early in the battle; at three in the afternoon, he was stretched upon his bed and suffering; when he learned that I was myself at the head of the column, he threw himself from his bed, mounted on horseback, and came to find me. Being obliged to remain on horseback, he received, at the head of the bridge of Arcole, a blow which laid him senseless. I assure you, that all this was necessary to our conquering; the enemy were numerous and exasperated, the generals at their head, of whom we killed several."
(Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
Strafsburgh, Nov. 28.
"The blood still runs in torrents on the banks of the Rhine. It is now midnight. I finish my letter to the sound of cannon, which are now firing at Kehl with such force as to shake every window in Strafsburgh. The engagement has lasted since seven o'clock this evening. It is the first time that we have had a night affair so violent as this appears to be."
PARIS, Nov. 28.
The negotiations with the English government seem to take rather a more favorable turn to-day. The Directory have acknowledged the principle of compensation—besides, their last reply does not bear those marks of harshness and severity which characterized their former notes. This is one advantage which we owe to the publication of the correspondence.—The opinion of the public was decidedly pronounced against the rude forms they had adopted in their negotiations; and our negotiator has therefore deemed it prudent to change those forms.
December 5.
Gen. Vaubois has been suspended by Buonaparte. He did not execute his orders, and thus caused part of his plan to fail.
The Russian forces under gen. Su bow, according to letters from Poland, have been defeated in an engagement with the Persians. The former were compelled to retreat with the loss of 10,000 men.
Gen. Pichegru is at length going as ambassador to Sweden, to compliment the new king on his accession.
If we are to trust to the letters from Italy, Mantua must be at this moment in the hands of the French.
LONDON, Nov. 1.
Sir Sidney Smith continues a prisoner in the Abbey at Paris. It is said our ambassador has orders to negotiate his release.
November 10. An army of 50,000 men are to march immediately to the sea coasts of the counties of Cork and Derry, to protect the south coast of Ireland.
A PLOT DISCOVERED.
The following paragraph we copy literally from a Treasury paper of yesterday—
"We learn, with real alarm, that the members of the numerous corresponding societies thro' out the kingdom have formed the intention of putting themselves as much as possible in the way of being ballotted into the supplemental militia, of 60,000 men, about to be raised by the bill now in its passage through Parliament. Their object in this is to get arms into their hands, against the constitution and government of their country. We trust that ministers will be particularly careful of the persons whom they admit into the new levies; and to prevent danger as much as possible, we are clearly of opinion, that inspectors ought to be appointed, not only for every county, but for every district and parish, who should have the power of rejecting men ballotted, whose characters, upon fair evidence, shall appear to be suspicious, such men to be obliged to find a substitute of sound principles, or pay a sum sufficient for the purpose of finding one. If men are taken without this necessary discrimination, the country, in place of deriving strength from the projected measure, will only be placing additional means for her own destruction in the hands of her worst and most dangerous enemies."
As we deem it our duty to bring forward the discovery of any danger that may threaten the country in the first instance, we have inserted this information the first day after its appearance. It must be owned to be a matter of considerable alarm, just after we have been told that there are 80,000 incorrigible Jacobins in the country, to be assured that 60,000 of them are ready to take up arms. Hitherto those incorrigible raggamuffins have been exceedingly quiet; they have made no attempt or preparation to excite tumult. They have had in former instances repeated opportunities to furnish themselves with arms, and to become masters of the military exercise. But we do not understand that any Jacobins enrolled themselves in the volunteer corps; those we understood to be composed of good and loyal subjects—chiefly indeed of placemen, pensioners and ministerial dependants. But the Jacobins waited for the proper moment, till they should be authorised to embody themselves under the sanction of a ministerial bill, till they had dispersed themselves through the different parishes in the country, and till they should be furnished with arms at the expence of the country. What a wonderful deal of art those men must possess, and what an amazing insight with respect to the plans of ministers. It evidently appears, however, that they have no communication with the French. If they had been apprized of the intention of the Republicans to invade this country, they would no doubt have got arms long ago, and have been in every respect prepared to second their landing; but now they go only on the assurance of Mr. Pitt, with respect to the intentions of the enemy, and have all their preparations to begin; to get arms into their hands and to acquire the use of them. Thus it appears that ministers both furnish them with their information, & afford them the opportunity to take up arms against the enemy. We have long been told that the Jacobins are a well disciplined corps; but it would now appear, that they had been trained upon the same principle as those gentlemen who occupy the treasury bench, since they do not even stir till all at once the breath of the minister puts them in motion.
But how is this formidable danger to be obviated? The grave discoverer of the plot suggests that inspectors ought to be appointed to examine into the character of the men ballotted for the new levies. Thus we are to have a politico-military inquisition established in the country, an institution perfectly novel in its nature. Upon the report of those inspectors, men of suspicious characters are to be obliged to find a substitute of sound principles. But by the bye, is the substitute to be received on the credit of his principle. This surely would be a hazardous expedient to take the word of one Jacobin for the loyalty of another. No;
this would never do. The only expedient therefore that remains is to make the person ballotted pay a sum sufficient for the purpose of finding a substitute of sound principles. But even here there occur difficulties:—
What is to be the standard by which a man of sound principles is to be ascertained; and what is the price at which he is to be estimated? At present we know of no standard for principle though we think that a short creed for the purpose, beginning—"I believe in ministers," might easily be drawn up by a committee of treasury members in the commons, assisted by the bench of bishops and lords of the bedchamber in the other house. But what is to be the price of a man of sound principles?—We should think that, at this critical period, it ought to be calculated upon a liberal footing. If it bear any proportion to the salary of George Rose, or the pension of Mr. Burke, who are both men of sound principles it must indeed be enormous. We would then humbly suggest, that a Jacobin, in the way of being ballotted into the supplemental militia, a poor Devil who must submit to leave his family and occupation, and to go out for 20 days at the rate of a shilling a day, must be probably incapable to raise the money necessary, in order to procure a substitute of sound principles. In order therefore, to obviate these insuperable difficulties, and at the same time to relieve the country from so formidable a danger as that which has been denounced by the writer of the article above quoted, we would propose as a measure of precaution, that new Bills be brought into the House, for the purpose of augmenting the national force, as a security against invasion; and that the 80,000 incorrigible Jacobins be expressly exempted from their operation.
December 3.
It is generally understood in the political circles that the Imperial Court unequivocally condemns the measure of sending a British ambassador to Paris to treat for peace. The present, they say, was not the fit moment for negotiation; and the attempt compromised our allies. If they refused to acquiesce in the measure, it tended to excite the clamor of discontent among their people, as if the horrors of war were to be continued only through their obstinacy; and it prevented them from the vigorous prosecution of the plans which had been laid for the recovery of what they had lost.
December 5.
NOTE
From lord Malmesbury to the minister for foreign affairs.
The court of London having been informed of what passed after the receipt of the last memorial delivered, by their order, to the minister for foreign affairs, find that there is not any thing whatever to be added to the answer made by the underlined to the two questions which the Directory thought proper to address to them.
They wait then, and with the greatest interest, for an explanation of the sentiments of the Directory, with regard to the principle proposed, on their part, as the basis of the negotiation, and the adoption of which appeared to be the best means of accelerating the progress of a discussion so important to the happiness of so many nations.
The underlined has in consequence received orders to renew the demand of a frank and precise answer on this object, in order that his court may know, with certainty, whether the Directory accept the said proposition;—whether they desire to make any change or modifications whatever in it; or, lastly, whether they will propose any other principle that may promote the same end.
(Signed) MALMESBURY. Paris, Nov. 26, 1796.
ANSWER
Of the minister for foreign affairs to lord Malmesbury's note.
In answer to the note delivered yesterday, Nov. 26 (old style) by lord Malmesbury, the underlined minister for foreign affairs, is instructed, by the Executive Directory, to observe, that the answers made on the 5th and 22nd of last Brumaire, contained an acknowledgement of the principle of compensation, and that in order to remove every pretext for farther discussion on that point, the underlined, in the name of the Executive Directory, now makes a formal and positive
declaration of such acknowledgement. In consequence, Lord Malmesbury is again invited to give a speedy and categorical answer to the proposition made to him on the 22nd of last Brumaire, and which were conceived in these terms:—"The underlined is instructed by the Executive Directory, to invite you to point out with all possible expedition, and expressly, the objects of reciprocal compensation which you have to propose." (Signed)
CH. DELACROIX.
7 Frimaire (Nov. 27,) 5th year.
Answer of Lord Malmesbury to the Note of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated the 7th Frimaire, Nov. 27.
The underlined minister plenipotentiary of his Britannic majesty, in answer to the note dated this morning, and which has been transmitted to him on the part of the minister of foreign affairs, hastens to assure him that he will not lose a moment in communicating it to his court, from which he must expect ulterior orders, before he can explain himself with respect to the important which it contains.
MALMESBURY.
Paris, Nov. 27.
December 5.
Notices from the Lords of Admiralty are posted up in Portsmouth, Portsea, and Gosport, informing the inhabitants that all fire ships, gunboats, &c. are completely equipped, and inviting the people to learn the use of artillery, and go on board these craft in case the French should attempt to invade this kingdom, which according to this late paper, appears to be a matter seriously intended.
PROVIDENCE, January 21.
Extract of a letter from Copenhagen, to a gentleman in this town, dated October 5.
"Our government have lately passed a resolution, permitting American vessels to bring India goods to this market, direct from any port in the East Indies, China excepted, on the same footing in all respects as Danish ships. We expect the measure will give our friends in America a good opportunity of extending their India trade."
BALTIMORE, January 27.
The printers of the Federal Gazette were yesterday favored with a number of Hamburg papers to the 18th November, brought by the Anthony Mangin. The following from a hasty perusal, appear to be the most prominent articles.
That the imperialists were making the most vigorous preparations to bombard Huningen, and to demolish all the fortifications at that place. That the Austrians had approached so near to Kehl with their batteries as not only to fire into the town, but also into the fortifications of the bridge and on the bridge itself; and that the inhabitants of Kehl had received orders to remove with their effects to Strafsburgh, as that place would be demolished. That the head quarters of the arch duke Charles were at Offenburg. That it was reported a cessation of arms was about to take place between the Imperialists and French on the Rhine, that during the Armistice a treaty of peace would be set on foot, and that a number of couriers were going backwards and forwards between Paris and Vienna.
NEW-YORK, February 10.
The alarm in England, in consequence of an apprehended invasion, seems to increase. Orders are issued from the admiralty for equipping and preparing the inhabitants of Portsmouth, Gosport, &c. for defence.
It is probable, however, the preparations in France are a mere feint either to accelerate peace on humiliating terms, or to aid their project of invading Ireland. It may be useful to France to keep up an alarm, but we cannot believe there is a serious intention of invading England.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, February 15.
We understand there has been a letter received at New-York informing, that Mr. Pinckney has been received by the French Directory.
PHILADELPHIA, February 9.
Yesterday, agreeably to a provision of the the Constitution, the Members of the Senate and of the house of Representatives, assembled in the Representative Chamber, to count the votes

of the Electors for, and determine the Election of a President and Vice President of the United States: when John Adams, Esq. was declared to be elected President, and Thomas Jefferson, Esq. Vice President. Several of the Foreign ambassadors & Ministers, and a crowded assembly of ladies and of the principal inhabitants of this city, were present. Indeed, to see the Representatives of a Free people, thus assembled, for the purpose of determining the Election of two of the first Magistrates was a grand spectacle, and afforded a fine contrast to the parade and splendor which attend a change of the first officers of most other governments in the world.
