PARIS, April 16.
ARMY OF ITALY.
"Head-quarters, Clagenfurth, 12th Germinal, (April ...)"
"CITIZENS DIRECTORS,"
"I have in my last dispatches given you an account of the battles of Tre-vita and Lachina. On the 8th (March 28,) the 3 divisions of the army, after having passed the defiles which lead into Germany from the Venetian states, encamped at Villach, on the borders of the Drave.
"Gen. Massena, put himself in movement with his division, on the 9th and about a league from Clagenfurth he fell in with the enemy's army, took two pieces of cannon, and 200 prisoners. We entered Clagenfurth the same night, and prince Charles, with the ruins of his army, is flying before us.
"Our head-quarters are this day between St. Veit and Friezech. Gen. Buonaparte's division is at Laubach, the capital of Carniole. I have reached the Polish gen. Zajouzech, at the head of a body of cavalry, for the purpose of penetrating to Liertz, by the valley of the Drave, and effecting a junction between me and gen. Joubert, who is at Brixen. It should take place about the present time.
"Since the beginning of the campaign, Prince Charles has lost near 20,000 men,—who are our prisoners. The inhabitants of Carniola and Carinthia have the most inexpressible contempt for the administrations of Vienna and Great Britain. The English nation possesses so completely the hatred and execration of the continent, that I believe if the war continues yet for some time, the English will be so universally detested, that no part of it whatever will grant them a reception.
"Here, then, are the enemies entirely driven from the States of Venice! The Upper and Lower Carniola, Carinthia, the district of Trieste and all the Tyrol, are subjected to the arms of the Republic.
"We have found near Villach, a magazine of iron, shot, cartridges and powder, mines of lead, tin, iron, &c. We have also found near Clagenfurth, manufactories of arms and cloth. (Signed) BUONAPARTE.
Another letter from Buonaparte, of the same date, announces three new engagements. That of Lavis, where Joubert and Baranguary d'Hilliers surrounded (on the 30th Ventose) a body of the enemy on the Lavis, and after an obstinate action, took 4000 prisoners, killed 2000 men, & carried off 3 pieces of cannon and 2 standards. That of Tramin; (on the 2d Germinal) in which gen. Dumas took 600 prisoners, and two pieces of cannon. This success prevented the ruins of London's column from arriving at Brussels. And that of Clausen, where we routed the enemy in the most decisive manner, and took 1500 prisoners. We are masters of Brixen and Botzen, where we have found magazines of all kinds of military stores.
April 23.
It is stated as a certain fact, that the minister of external relations has written to the commissioners of the treasury, not to pay any sums due to the Americans. Has Charles Delacroix had the dexterity to break altogether an alliance which Robespierre himself respected? He is without doubt ignorant how much our commerce and marine cities will suffer from this measure, and what immense advantages this rupture will hold out to England.

Barriere has been chosen Deputy to the legislative body, by the electoral assembly of Turbes.
The Apollo Belvidere, and 12 wagons filled with a part of the precious articles of the fine arts agreed to be given up, by the treaty with the Pope, are now on their way to Paris.
The news of the preliminaries of peace with the Emperor having been signed, was announced at six o'clock yesterday evening, by repeated discharges of artillery. All the workmen quitted their shops. An innumerable crowd rushed into the streets and upon the quays: the joy was universal, and all joined in crying Vive la Paix! Vive la Paix! (Long be the peace.)

"I have the honor to transmit to you the letter which I wrote prince Charles, and his answer.
"You will find hereunto annexed the note which has been sent by gen. Bellegarde and Morvelde; the answer of which, I have given them; and finally, the conditions of the suspension of arms which we have concluded. You will remark by the line of demarcation, that we find ourselves in possession of Graz, Bruck, and Rosenheim, places of which we were not before in possession. My intention is, besides, to give the army two or three days rest, so that this suspension very little deranges the military operations.

"His majesty the emperor and king having nothing so much at heart as what can conduce to the repose of Europe, and to the termination of war which devastates the two nations, has in consequence of the overture which was made to his royal highness by your letter from Clagenfurth, sent in to you to come to some understanding on an object of so great importance.
"After the conversation which we have held with you, and persuaded of the good will and of the intentions of the powers, to finish with the utmost promptitude possible, this disastrous war, his royal highness desires a suspension of hostilities for ten days, in order to be able with more celerity to attain this desirable object, and in order that all the delays and obstacles that the continuation of hostilities would throw in the way of negotiation be done away, and that every thing may occur towards the re-establishment of peace between the two nations.

"The French Republic has often shown his majesty her desire to put an end to this cruel slaughter. She persists in the same sentiments, and I have no doubt, after the conference which I had the honor of having with you, that in a few days peace will be finally re-established between the French Republic and his Imperial majesty.

CONDITIONS OF THE CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES.
Gen. Buonaparte, commander in chief of the French army in Italy, and his royal highness the archduke Charles, commander in chief of the Imperial army, wishing to facilitate the negotiations for peace, which are on the point of being opened, agree as follows:
Article 1. There shall be a suspension of arms between the French and Imperial armies from this evening, the 7th of April, to the 13th of April.
2d The French army shall keep the following line: the advanced posts of the right wing of this army shall remain in the position in which they at present are, between Lume and Trieste—the line shall be extended so as to comprehend Tressen, Litrai, Windefelsitz, Marburg, Chienhausen, the right bank of the Muhr, Leoban, Traismauer, Maud, the road from Mantern, as far as Rottenman, Irding, the valley of La Drave and Lintz.
3. The suspension of arms shall take place equally in the Tyrol, and the generals commanding the French and
imperial troops in that part, shall settle together, the posts that they are to occupy.
Hostilities shall not commence in the Tyrol, until twenty-four hours after the commander in chief shall have agreed to it: or, at least, not till twenty-four hours after the generals commanding the French and Imperial troops in the Tyrol, shall have been reciprocally apprised of it.

LIVERPOOL, May 6.
We stop the press just to insert the following extract of a letter just received from Hull.
"A neutral vessel from Hamburgh is just received here with the intelligence of accounts and confirmed papers having reached Hamburgh last Thursday; of the Emperor having concluded a separate peace."
DUBLIN, April 24.
An alarm we are to suppose on justifiable grounds, has reached the seat of government. The yeomanry of Dublin have been called upon, pickets from every corps, to the amount collectively of three hundred men, have in consequence mounted guards in various parts of the city and its liberties; patroles are established; tocsins are appointed at the Royal Hospital, St. Michael's, the College, and St. Mary's; signal guns are stationed at the Grand Canal, Stephen's Green, and the Barracks, and a Howitzer, with its apparatus planted at the Castle!
There are at present five regiments of Militia and fencibles in our garrison, each possessing two brass field pieces. This force one should imagine, was fully equal to the preservation of peace, without calling on the yeomanry to stand to their arms every night, to mount guard and patrole in every quarter of the city. Great indeed must be the fear which ministers entertain of public dissatisfaction, when they resort to such a measure.
LONDON, May 4.
An expedition is equipping in England against Chili and Peru.
On some trifling advantages gained recently by the Imperial troops over the French in Italy, it is said the inhabitants of Verona in Venice, assembled and destroyed 500 French in the hospitals in that city. In consequence, it is added, Angereau ordered that city to be set free to, and destroyed, and demanded other satisfaction of the Doge, which was of necessity granted.
NEW-YORK, June 21.
Among the various vessels which a southerly breeze planted in our harbour yesterday, is the brig Orion, Capt. Shaw, in 35 days from Cork; by which we have received Cork papers to the tenth of May; containing London dates to the 6th, two days later than before received. No very important event it seems had occurred from the 4th to the above date, except a confirmation of a separate peace with the Emperor. From the last Cork paper we copy the following:
LONDON, May 5.
Stocks experienced a further depreciation yesterday. Consols were down to low as 48; Imperial three per cents at 44; and the new loan at three fourths premium.
May 6.
The Hamburgh mail due on Wednesday last, arrived this day at noon. The Vienna Court Gazette of the 19th does not mention the signing of the preliminaries of Peace; but only the prolongation of the Armistice between the Archduke Charles and Gen. Buonaparte to the 26th; but letters from several parts of Germany state, that Preliminaries of peace were signed at the head quarters of Gen. Buonaparte on the 18th.
The Neuremberg Gazette of the 12th, ult. contains the following article:
"Yesterday the 21st, at seven in the evening, a courier passed through this town, with intelligence that peace was
concluded and signed on the 18th at Göttern in Upper Styria."
None of the foreign papers make any mention of the conditions.
We communicated to the public, in part of our impression yesterday, that government had received dispatches from Vienna, with an account of the signing of the preliminaries of peace on the 18th ult. between the French Republic and the Emperor. A copy of these preliminaries has not yet arrived the messenger having set out from Vienna immediately after they were received by the Austrian Cabinet. They contain however the leading principles upon which the separate peace between the Republic and the Emperor is to be negotiated. The Netherlands of course are given up and the French Republic extends itself to the Rhine.
The concerns of the Members of the Germanic Empire, who are at war with France, or who have been deprived of territorial possessions by making the Rhine the boundary of the Republic, are to be discussed and decided on in a congress to be held at Rastadt to which it is stipulated Great Britain may send a minister with powers to negotiate a general peace. A cessation of hostilities on the continent has been agreed upon; and we should now indulge the fond hope that the blessings of peace would soon be restored to Great Britain; if we had the happiness to have any other administration than the present, but under such Ministers can expectations be sanguine? Can we rationally hope that those who entered into the war so rashly, will even now be eager to make peace? or can we believe that men who have conducted the war so disgracefully, will be able to terminate it honorably? It is under such men that the sentiments of the French towards the English Government have assumed a character and complexion which is horribly described in the Grandeur of the 28th ult. a paper attached to the Directory, and esteemed to be one of the most mode ate.
All the accounts from Vienna represent the alarm that prevailed there before the signing of the Preliminaries to have been extreme. The headquarters of the republican army were but 8 posts from Vienna. Most of the Royal Family had fled. The Ambassadors had made preparations for their departure at a moment's notice. The Archives, Chancery, &c. had been packed up and sent off and many of the Nobles and men of property had taken flight with their most valuable effects.

Take Notice. WHEREAS a certain Joseph Baner dec'd. obtained a bond of me for Seventy-Two or Seventy-Three pounds, or thereabouts. (to be paid as near as I can remember) in Sept. 1796, in cows at 3l each, or horses at their value: at which time I was fully ready to comply with my contract, but as the heirs have not complied with said Baner's bond and obligation to me in making the land sure to me, and being apprehensive that the land in part will be lost, as it is claimed by others, so that they cannot comply with his contract—this is therefore to forewarn any person or persons from dealing for said obligation, as I am determined and resolved not to pay it till I receive the land according to contract.

GEORGE MOFFETT. July 12, 1797. ft
PROPOSALS For Publishing by Subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS.
IT is proposed, that this edition shall contain only the Laws that are of a general nature, and will consist of the laws lately revised, and to be revised; there will be no more given of local or private laws, than their titles and time of passage. From the best calculations, it will extend to about six hundred pages.
CONDITIONS. I. This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature already revised. II. The price to Subscribers will be Three Dollars; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance on the delivery of the Second Number. III. The work will be put to press as soon as five hundred copies are subscribed for, and the first Number completed with all possible dispatch; the second will be delayed until the revival is finished. IV. If the laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful forms of conveyancing, &c. There will also be added, a copious index, whereby any article may be easily found by inspection; and the Constitution of this State and the United States will be prefixed. V. Those who subscribe for twelve copies shall have one extra.
As the form in which the Acts of Assembly have been printed, renders them not only unhandy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by furnishing them in a portable form, and of durable materials.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE SABBATH.
Still be rever'd the sacred hours of rest, And be the Sabbath day forever blest! Whether man labors with the utmost toil, Manures the globe or turns the faithful soil; Whether he guides the harrow or the helm; Rules o'er a district or conducts a realm; One day in seven is to rest assign'd, And praise to him who gave the human mind. Then let each heart adore the God of truth, Let age respect him!—and revere him youth! Let sons of freedom bow to him alone! And let all nature his dominion own!
