BOMBAY, (East Indies) March 3. Extract of a private letter from Bengal, dated February 3.
"Whatever fears may be impressed by the supreme government, in their dispatches to Europe, respecting the movement of Tippoo, and the probable conjecture that results from a nice observance of his politics, I know not. Certain it is that no little alarm subsists in the minds of persons of the first distinction here, whose knowledge of the temper of the princes of India, sanctions the interference that may be drawn. Tippoo's ambition, joined to the mortification he has met with, by being obliged to cede a considerable part of his territory, valuable and important to the East-India company and their allies, will ever keep him restless in a degree, and he only appears to pause for the present, until some unforeseen, though favorable opportunity may present itself, to regain, at least what he has lost. It is not the faith of treaty that will bind him to his engagements. The intrigues of the Durbar consist in aggrandizement and power. It therefore behoves us on this side of the water, to keep more than a wary eye on his positions—for if the French, by stratagem, should afford assistance to the sultan, likely to be successful in the recovery of his territory, we have reason to apprehend that the solemn treaty ratified by the marquis Cornwallis, will prove a futile bar to proceedings of an hostile nature."
BERLIN, August 28.
Our cabinet has just received disagreeable intelligence—symptoms of a conspiracy having appeared in Poland. Men who are thought best informed upon this subject, say nothing is wanted to hasten this dreadful explosion, but a happy event in the Mediterranean."
PARIS, July 15.
In the Council of Five Hundred, of July 14, a secretary read an address of the United Irishmen:—
"Upon the great day of the liberty and independence of nations, deign to receive the emblem ever dear to the United Irishmen, the HARP OF OSSIAN! with silver cords, mounted with the trophies of LIBERTY. It is from the heart of oppressed Ireland that you receive this homage. They have but one wish, and that is to break the chains of—; and to unite their destinies with those of the Great Nation."
Cabarrus —"While Europe views with attention the the distant regions into which France was about to carry the light of knowledge, the liberty and glory of her arms; permit me to fix your attention upon a people, who, like us, have founded their 14th of July, and who, likewise, will have their Jamappe and Fleurus. All nations are our brethren, especially those Ireland sighs, not for herself; it is in favor of all Europe. She pleads the cause of the human race! It is not for us to point out to the Directory their proper conduct and duties; they know them; and they will not disappoint our hopes. Let them meditate in secret, their plan." After some farther observations in the same style, he concluded with moving—"That the United Irishmen deserved well of the human race." The council ordered the address and speech to be printed.
Music struck up to the air of Violons en salut de l'Empire .
The Prussian minister have demanded a categorical answer from the French minister Sieyes to this question—"Does the Directory intend to take gen. Kosciuszko, the chief of the Polish revolution, under their protection?"

Rome, August 16.
Citizen Editor,
HARDLY had the brave Girardon put an end to the revolts of Altriferrantino, Veroli and Frofinone, than another rebellion broke out at Terracina. The French commandant, citizen Leduc, was massacred by the rebels. Ten chasseurs, of the 19th regiment, who were with him, owed their safety to the swiftness of their horses. As soon as general Macdonald received information of this affair, he sent against them, by forced mar-
ches, a detachment of French and Poles. Our troops arrived at break of day on the 15th, in sight of Terracina. After an obstinate resistance of six hours, that city was taken by assault, and all the rebels who were found in arms put to the sword without mercy. Several saved themselves in small vessels, but a number of their vessels were sunk by the artillery, in attempting to escape. By this last victory, we find ourselves absolutely masters of all the country. The terrible but necessary punishment inflicted upon the revolted cities (they have all been sacked) will I think in future prevent all seditious movements. If we had not succeeded, the insurrection most probably would have become general. The English would not have failed to feed this new Vendee. Two of their Frigates were cruising before Terracina on the 11th. (Signed)
GIRAUD, Captain.
September 1.
General Macdonald has published at Rome, two severe laws against the destroyers of public tranquility. Every individual, convicted of having fomented sedition by improper discourse or relation of false and alarming news shall be judged and punished with death.
September 2.
General Desselourneaux, commissioner to the government of Guadalupe, took leave of the directory and minister of war yesterday. He is going to Rochfort, from whence the expedition for Guadalupe is to sail. The other civil and military characters who are to accompany him are already arrived at that port.
The French armies of Switzerland and Italy, are at length able to communicate with each other, by Gothard and St. Barnard, and with the army of Mentz, by Solure and Basle. These new advantages augur well, whether for peace or victory, and also, for the union of the Grisons with the Helvetic Republic.
Private letters from Italy, and even the public gazettes at Milan state, that new differences are arising between the king of Naples and the French; and they have even published at Milan an extract of a letter from the secretary of the French Legation at Naples to one of his friends, to the following effect—"The situation of political affairs between the French and the government of this country is such, that in a few days we shall be obliged to abandon it."
BRUSSELS, August 28.
The army of Mayence has its head quarters at Friedeburgh till the opening of the campaign, after which it means to take up its winter quarters in Bavaria, and on the banks of the Danube. The Etat Major has been recomposed, and now consists of the bravest and most skilful officers.
The Austrian troops are also making formidable movements towards Franconia and Suabia. Reports say that a corps of 15,000 Saxons are to join the army of the Empire, and that 80,000 Russians are on full march to come down through Bohemia.
GLASGOW, September 25.
Paris papers till the 17th inst have been received since our last. By these it appears, that admiral Nelson has, by the total destruction of the French fleet, on its return from Alexandria, made ample amends for his former ill luck. "The squadron of admiral Bruëys," says the supplement to the Redacteur of the 14th inst. "which was moored off Beguieres, was attacked by the British fleet; on both sides the action was maintained with a degree of obstinacy which history does not afford an example. During the action the vessel of the French admiral blew up. Two or three of our ships were sunk. Others of the British and French vessels remained totally disabled on the scene of action. We are anxious for their fate." The authenticity of this intelligence, which was repeated in the Paris papers of the 15th and 16th, has been doubted by many, because it had first appeared in the Redacteur; but when we consider that the supplement also contains a message from the Directory to the Council of Five Hundred, on the subject of Buonaparte's entrance into Egypt, which is certainly official; and that it has been the policy of the French government, from
the day of Barrere to the present, to communicate the bad news which they could not conceal, under the covert of some intelligence more consoling; these reluctant confessions of the Directory, seem sufficient, in our opinion, to justify our yielding almost implicit credit to the report.
RUTLAND, (Vermont) October 16.
TRUE JACOBINISM.
O France! where is thy blush?
On Saturday evening, 14th inst. the office of John Cook esq.* attorney at law, at the town of Poultney, was attacked by an infamous banditti of Jacobins, who after breaking the windows, bursting open the door, taking out clothing and tearing and scattering them about the street, hauling down a map of this state, breaking the frame, and tearing the map in pieces, carrying the bed from the house and scattering it in different places, proceeded to turn over the building, when the neighbours being alarmed by the tumult, proceeded to the building, and the villains dispersed.
It is hoped that the authors of such vile conduct will not long escape the punishment which they merit.
*A friend to government who had given evidence against the seditious Lyon.
PHILADELPHIA, November 7.
Last Saturday morning the body of a woman, seemingly about 24 years of age, was found on the Wilmington road, in the state of Delaware, a little beyond Naaman's creek, with her throat cut into the bone of the spine—her left hand was deeply wounded, probably in the struggle she had made to save her life. Her dress was pretty nearly that marked as "gay quaker;" she wore a white gown, white gloves, white satin bonnet, green petticoat, and drab cloak.
From papers found in her pocket, her name would seem to have been Patty Adams, and that she had lived with Squire Blackwood, Raccoon creek, Jersey, from the 4th July until 6th September.
It is not doubted that the pure morals and love of Justice prevalent in the United States will lead to the detection of the monster who perpetrated the horrid, bloody, and nefarious murder. The Coroner's inquest brought in a verdict of murder, by a person or persons unknown. It seems the unfortunate victim was pregnant, and it is apprehended that her seducer under pretext of marriage, made occasion to immolate both the mother and the child.
SUICIDE.
On the 20th ult in the evening, one Benjamin Silsby, who put up at a tavern in Kenebunk, after smoking a segar in the forepart of the evening, stepped out, and not returning, was supposed to have gone to a neighbour's house, and was thought no more of. The next morning the landlord, rising soon after day, discovered a person, looking ghastly, in the Silsby, hanging by a rope from a necessary house.

MEMORANDUM.
This action took place on the 1st, 2d and 3d of August, in Rosetta bay at one of the mouths of the Nile, with the enemy at anchor, when the British fleet ran in (excepting the leading ship, the Culloden, which unfortunately got on shore) and anchored alongside the French, with head and stern anchors.
The French transports ran into the Nile, and Buonaparte landed with only a few days provision on hand, with about 38000 men, 2000 having been cut to pieces in an attempt to land at Alexandria, where they expected a passive reception. The last dispatches state, that the only supplies Buonaparte could get were a little rice and water, brought to him on camels, by the Arabs—but that the Turks were taking measures, not only to cut off his succor, but to march against him. The crew of the Timoleon, when the ship took fire, attempted to save themselves on shore, but were cut to pieces. The L'Orient's people were in part destroyed in the same manner, and blown up, only a few escaped, perhaps into the woods to starve.
The French fleet at the time of the action had only five days provision on board.
None of the transports were destroyed, having probably run up the bay of Rosetta, into shallow water, & that nothing certain had transpired to unravel the future projects of Buonaparte, whether he meant to settle down in Egypt, or whether he cast his wishful eyes on the distant shore of the Mangalore. His situation at best, appeared to be hopeless.
THE subscriber earnestly requests all persons indebted to him, either by bond, note, or book account, to make payment on or before the 1st day of January next,—Those who fail to comply with this notice, may be assured that their accounts will be put into the hands of proper officers for collection.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE COTTAGER.
THE man is blest, who, in his cot Secure from flattery and deceit, The bread his honest labor got In peace can eat.
Whose family to cloathe and feed Does each new day his hands employ, By toils well pleas'd th' approaching need To satisfy.
Oh happy state which so contents! Who's cheerful, though he's poor: Who asks of Heav'n, what nature wants, But asks no more.
The courtier's fears ne'er reach his breast, Each night he lays him down in peace: No dreams of rapine break his rest— He sleeps at ease.
Rises each morn with early dews, Salutes with joy the welcome day, And in the field his toil pursues With spirits gay.
When nature calls for nourishment, On some soft mossy bank he sits, And food that's sweetest 'd by content, He thankful eats.
Nor guilt nor fear his joys dismay, Each thought fresh comfort brings; Thus happy, all the live long day He works and sings.
But when the sun retraces his rays, And ev'ning smokes from chimneys come, Then thoughtless with unruffled pace Goes whistling home.
There, he his leisure hour enjoys Laughing at merry tale or jest; Till sleep o'erpow'rs his wearied eyes; Then goes to rest.
Thus steal away his earthly days, In health, content and ease, Till he the debt of nature pays, And dies in peace.
Each neighboring peasant mourns his end, Dropping a kind unfeigned tear,— And prays for his departed friend, With heart sincere.
Oh Heaven, let me such bliss enjoy, Crown'd with content & free from blame; And my good deeds, whene'er I die, Record my fame.
ANECDOLE.
A student being just called to the bar, sent for a peruke maker to measure him for a new wig. The peruke maker, on applying his apparatus in one direction, was observed to smile; upon which the barrister desiring to know what ludicrous circumstance gave rise to his mirth, the barber replied, that he could not help remarking the extreme length of his head — “That's well” said the student “we lawyers have occasion for long heads.” The barber, who had by this time completed the dimensions, burst out into a fit of laughter; and an explanation being insisted on, as last declared that he could not contain himself, when he discovered that his head was just as thick as it was long.
