LONDON, July 25
Recent letters from Constantinople, of indubitable authority, contain the following intelligence.
The Bosniacks, Croats, &c. are in a state of rebellion. The post which goes every fortnight from Vienna to Constantinople, and which passed through Belgrade, Sophia, &c. is obliged to take the route of Wallachia. The people refuse absolutely to obey the Port, and to cede to the emperor of Germany that portion of country which fell to his share, according to the limits fixed at the peace.
The general rebellion in Romelia is however much more alarming to the people. The rebels have laid the whole country waste, and their army is so considerable, that the Port cannot bring them to obedience. The Pacha of Adrianople cannot stir out of the gates, and that city is perfectly blockaded. The greatest consternation reigns at Constantinople, where the approach of the rebels is even feared.
Kucuk Ali, is master of all Syria and Palestine, and has procured a large train of artillery, by means of European merchant vessels, which have brought him constantly large quantities of cannon and ammunition, for which he pays such prices, that the avarice of the traders induces them to run all risks. So that he now sets the Port at defiance.
August 7.
Our Yarmouth letter of Saturday last, continued an account of the arrival at that port, of the Circe frigate, with intelligence of the Dutch fleet having sailed from the Texel. In the course of the morning the first lieutenant of the Circe arrived at the admiralty, with a confirmation of that account.
It appears probable, that as the British fleet was compelled by stress of weather to change its position on Sunday the 30th ult. the Dutch fleet took advantage of that circumstance to effect its escape.
Dispatches were sent off very early in the morning of Saturday, from the duke of York's office, to the commanders of troops in the neighborhood of Edinburgh, Newcastle, Beverly, and those places on which, if the enemy's fleet is destined for an expedition against this country, a descent is most likely to be made. An express was also sent off to Dublin, by the way of Patrick; letters from the admiralty were dispatched to Portsmouth, thence to be forwarded to Lord Bridport, and every precaution was taken that the vigilance of ministers could suggest.
FRENCH AFFAIRS.
Our readers will find in our paper of this day, further details from the Paris papers which we received on Saturday.
The debate of the councils, and the conduct of the directory of France, give a color to the supposition that some violent explosion will ultimately ensue. The council of five hundred continue to reproach the directory with an intent to influence their decisions and to overawe their deliberations by the presence of an armed force; they declare the explanations which they have received from the government to be evasive, unsatisfactory and false; the facts they adduce in support of their affirmation, not only demonstrate their justice, but prove in our apprehension that the object of the directory was, and perhaps still is, to overthrow the existing constitution, and to reëstablish the system of terror. The council pursue their enquiries on this interesting subject; and the new minister of war is employed in ascertaining from whom proceeded those orders which authorized the troops to pass the limits prescribed by law; for strange as it must appear, after all the communications that have taken place between the administration and the legislative body, and after the close investigation of a special committee, this essential point still remains unexplained.
The executive directory have not been idle during these transactions, they have evidently exerted all their influence with the troops, who have, as we expected, given them assurance of implicit obedience to their commands. An address to the directory from the division under the orders of general
Massena, has not only been received, but published, although it is one of the most atrocious and inflammatory papers that has appeared since the revolution. It contains a gross libel on the legislative body, whom it accuses of having violated the constitution, degraded the government, offered protection to emigrants and priests, rebels to the laws, and sanctioned the murder of upright republicans. It holds out the most direct and positive menaces, and threatens the opponents of the directory with destruction.
Some difficulties appear to have occurred in the negotiation with the emperor from the pitiful chicanery on the part of the directory, who, after confirming the integrity of the empire as they are stated to have done, insisted that by the union of the principalities of Liege and Stavéler to the French republic, those countries could no longer be considered a part of the empire. But the influence of Barthélemy was here successfully exerted—the disgraceful plan was withdrawn; and the territories in question are to be restored to their lawful possessors; so that the peace with the emperor is expected to be speedily signed.
Our Waymouth letters received yesterday, mentions a report which prevailed there of an engagement having taken place between Sir J. B. Warren's squadron and a French 74 gun ship, in which that gallant officer is stated to have lost his life, but that the enemy's ship was taken. We state this entirely on the authority of the Waymouth letters, which merely records the report of the day. The account has received no confirmation this morning.
August 8.
Bonaparte, unused to contradiction, has expressed his displeasure in strong terms at the refusal of the Swiss to grant a passage to his troops through their territory; and he has even threatened to procure by force what entreaties have failed to obtain.
Mallet du Pan, to his honour be it spoken, is pursued with unrelenting animosity by the French government. He has been compelled to leave Morat for Fribourg, and it is supposed will be ultimately obliged to seek for refuge in England.
Reports prevail at Paris, that the negotiation at Lille was suspended, from the exorbitant pretensions of the Directory, who are even said to have openly declared, that "the royalist faction alone, is desirous of a Peace with France." What foundation there is for such a report, is impossible for us to say.
PARIS August 5.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
Sitting of August 2.
A message was read from the Directory. It announces that it has given orders for the issue of the expenses, of the first decade of Thermidor, which amount to Twenty Millions. The produce of the receipt in the departments amounts only to Six Millions leaving a deficit of Fourteen Millions, without including in that sum the expenses of growing interest. The receipts of the whole month of Thermidor, will only amount to twenty-three millions; "All these facts," continues the directory, "prove the insufficiency of the present means. We have commissioned the ministers of Finance to lay before us a report on the revenue and expenditure of the state, and on the means of establishing a just balance between them. We annex this to our message, and request you to take into consideration."
The council ordered the message and the report to be printed, and to be referred to a committee, after being read.
The president announced to the council that an infinity of very important objects claimed their attention; and that the sitting of the next day would open at noon.
Sitting of August 3.
The central administration of the department of the Rhone, denounces to the councils, in conformity with the terms of the constitution, the order of the directory, relative to the commune of Lyons, by which the commandant of that place is authorised to put it in a state of siege.
Sitting of August 4.
Delarue.—"I come in the name of your committee of inspectors, to make the report which you required on the march of the troops."
"It results, from the information that we have procured,
1. That from 26 to 27,000 men have been detached from the army of the Sambre and Meuse, instead of 9000, as was stated by Gen. Hoche.
2. That this force directed its march towards Paris.
3. That a formidable train of artillery followed this force, which was to be encamped at St. Dennis, Etampes, and the circumjacent places.
4. That the extraordinary expence incurred by this march had exhausted the funds of the receivers of the departments, and particularly that of Marne, whence they exacted the sum of 40,000 livres in specie.
5. That forced requisitions were levied for want of billets, and considerable depredations committed.
"The minds of these troops have been misled and seduced. All the soldiers and officers prefer the most absurd and the most injurious accusations against the legislative body. Rebels are dispersed through the armies; the Friend of the Laws, and the Centinel, are the only journals that reach them. Notwithstanding the order to make a retrograde movement, a great number of troops still continue their march towards Paris, by order of Gen. Hoche and in spite of the opposition of Gen. Fering, who received a counter-order from the Minister of War."
"The Legion called the Franks, which was formed in contradiction to the law, has disbanded itself, and dispersed about the country. The corps who received orders to retreat, repair to Paris in small parties and without regimentals. Citizen Lefage appears to have taken a great part in all these manoeuvres. At Chartres 500 Banditti have been provided with arms and ammunition.—Paris is filled with foreigners, who are thirsting for blood and pillage."
"The armies deliberate, correspond with each other, pass resolutions, and issue proclamations, with which all France is inundated. What has the government done to prevent all these abuses?"
The reporter, without entering into long reflections, proposed to send a message to the Directory to ask them.
1. Whether they have received the particulars which they promised, of the march of the troops? They shall be called upon to give an answer in three days.
2. What measures they have taken to stop the violation of the 275th article of the constitution, which forbids the armed force to deliberate?
The council adopted these propositions, and ordered the report to be printed.
BAITH, August 3.
A gentleman of the first respectability, who arrived on the 30th ult. from Niagara, has favoured us with the following interesting intelligence.
That great part of the American garrison at Niagara had sailed for Detroit, to reinforce the garrison in the North Western territory, where serious apprehensions had been entertained of their being attacked by the Western Indians, influenced by the Spaniards and French.
Captain Guion with two companies, who had been sent down the Mississippi to occupy the posts to be delivered up by the Spaniards by treaty, instead of being allowed to perform that service, was, when the account came away, in a fort of confinement by the Spaniards, neither being allowed to proceed or return—another detachment had met with the same fate.
The garrison of Niagara expects an immediate reinforcement from West-Point.
The British are not without apprehensions of an attempt on Canada by the French and Spaniards, but expect a strong body of troops from England. They had received orders in Upper Canada, to build immediately three twenty gun ships on lake Ontario.
The British troops in Upper Canada, consist of a new regiment of volunteers and the Queen's rangers, which are in good order.
PHILADELPHIA, September 20.
The "Sun," a London paper of July 24, observing on the situation of
France, says, that by the "movement of the troops," and the late change in administration, the directory have some grand object in view. In speaking of the ex-ministers, Pétier, is called a moderate; general Hoche who takes his place is declared to be a determined Jacobin; and that he and his army are well calculated to renew the system of terror.
LANCASTER, Sept. 23.
Yellow Fever in Philadelphia.
This disease, we are sorry to find, (notwithstanding numerous reports to the contrary) is very little ameliorated. Indeed, considering the vast migrations from the city, the proportion of mortality is greater than it was at this date in the year 1793. The deaths for the week preceding Thursday, average about 15 per day. It cannot be expected, however, that all those died of the Yellow Fever.
PARIS, (Kent.) October 4.
The printer of the Rights of Man, &c. will please to insert the following piece.
We the subscribers do hereby certify, that some time ago we were at the Tawa towns (Indian nation) at which place we saw a young woman, named Mary Wilson, about 18 or 20 years of age, fair complexion, her hair between a tandy and fair, very handsome, supposed to have been with the Indians a considerable while; she says she was taken from Kentucky, and is very desirous her friends (if any she has living) would come immediately and take her away; therefore it is requested that every humane and affectionate citizen of Kentucky, would exert themselves in procuring information of the above unfortunate girl's parents, that youth and beauty may be emancipated from obscurity and unpolished ruffians.

VALUABLE MILITARY AND OTHER LANDS
FOR SALE.
THE subscriber means to remain in the state of Kentucky until December next, for the purpose of offering for sale the following tracts of LAND, to wit:
1000 Acres of First Rate LAND , North West of the Ohio, between the Little Miami and Sciora rivers, on Paint creek, patented to Peregrine Fitzhugh, Esquire.
1333 Acres North-West of the Ohio , on the waters of Lee's creek, a branch of Paint creek, near the Rattlesnake fork, patented to P. Fitzhugh, Esquire.
1426 Acres North-West of the Ohio , on the waters of the Rocky fork of Paint creek, patented also to P. Fitzhugh, Esquire, for his services as an officer in the American war. These lands are not far distant from Chillicothe town, and must be an object well worth the emigrants attention, from its situation, it being well known that the lands generally on Paint creek are equal if not superior to any in that territory.
The new road leading from the Little Miami to Chillicothe, runs within two or three mile of these lands, where the settlement is now extending very fast up the falls of paint.
6000 Acres surveyed for Warner Lewis , a military claim, on the Little Miami, which I am told is equal to any in that country.
Also, 10,000 Acres of Land , in this state, located at a very early date, near the three forks of the Kentucky river, in Clarke county.
An indisputable title will be given to the above lands, and a bargain to any person that would take the whole together; otherwise I would accommodate a purchaser with lots of 3 or 400 acres, for ready money only. The terms of sale will be made known by application to Hugh M'Ilvain, Esquire, in Lexington; Mr. Devall Payne, seven miles from Washington, or on personal application to me, who may be generally heard of by enquiry at Mr. Burgess's tavern.

COMMUNICATION.
On the 22d of July last, departed this life, Mr. Zachariah Worthy, of ***** county, aged fifty-six years, after a long and painful illness, which he supported with truly Christian fortitude, and patient resignation to the will of God—He died universally regretted by all his acquaintances and friends, but his loss will long be felt and deplored by the ***** Church, of which he had been for more than thirty years a member and zealous supporter—The friends of freedom, justice, & Christianity & good will to all men, will observe the principles which so eminently distinguished the life of this truly religious and benevolent man, displayed in his last will and testament of which we are happily enabled to give a copy from the records of ***** court.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN the name of God, Amen. I Zachariah Worthy of ***** county, and state of Kentucky, being of sound mind and disposing memory; but having long been admonished by a painful illness, that I am shortly to "go the way appointed for all flesh," and wishing, before my departure from this mortal state, to make a just disposition of all the worldly substance with which it has pleased the bountiful giver of all good to endow me, do make and ordain this my last will and testament, in manner and form following (to wit.)
First, I give my body to the earth, and resign my soul into the hands of Almighty God who gave it, hoping that as it has pleased him in his great goodness, to teach me by his holy word, to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly in his light, I shall find mercy in his presence at the great day when he shall judge the world in righteousness, and reward those who have done well, and banish forever from his presence the workers of iniquity.
Item. It is my will and desire that my lands, which are all in dispute, shall be sent to Philadelphia, and there sold by my executors (herein after named) by deeds with special warranty only, for the best price which can be had, in order to raise a fund for the payment of my just debts.
And as to all my slaves and other perishable property of which I am justly possessed, I dispose of the same as follows:
I give and bequeath unto my beloved daughter Dorothy, two slaves, Patty and Poll, and their increase to her and her heirs forever.
I give and bequeath unto my daughter Rebecca, my slaves, Nan and Phillis, and their increase to her and her heirs forever; also my bay mare and sorrel colt, and their increase.
I give and bequeath unto my youngest son, John; the following seven slaves, to wit; Ned, Tom, Sam, Bill, Peter, Charles and Dick, to him and his heirs forever, also six horses, and all my black cattle.
And whereas, it is my will and earnest desire, that my eldest son, Timothy, who is now at college, should be brought up to the gospel ministry; and it being necessary to raise a fund to enable him to complete his education & procure him books; and as my two slaves, Methusalem and Sarah, the (father and mother of the above bequeathed slaves) having served me faithfully thirty-six years, are now grown old, sickly and infirm, and might shortly become chargeable to my children, my will is, that my executors do send the said slaves by the first boat which descends the river, & sell them in that part of the Spanish dominions where the best price can be had, and apply the money arising from the said sale towards defraying the expenses incurred in the education of my said son Timothy, to whom I give all the residue of my estate, both real and personal, to him and his heirs forever.
And I do hereby appoint my truly esteemed friends, the Rev. John Obadiah, and the Rev. Henry Harrison, executors of this my last will and testament, requesting that as a compensation for their services, and as a token of my esteem, they will apply to their use the hire of said Methusalem and Sarah, until an opportunity offers for disposing of them as above, and that each of them accept of a copy of Bill.
op Watson's inestimable sermon On the mercy of God, in creating both rich and poor, bond and free."
And having thus made a just disposition of all my worldly concerns, I have only to enjoin, it on my said Children, as they wish for a peaceful & quiet conscience at the awful hour of Death, that they invariably practice the sacred precept of our Redeemer, "Do unto all men as ye would that they should do unto you."
Given under my hand and seal this 22d day of July, 1797.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
AUTUMNAL REFLECTION. IN fading grandeur, lo! the trees Their tarnish'd honor sheds While ev'ry leaf compelling breeze, Lays their dim verdure dead.
Ere while they shot a vig'rous length, Of flowers, and fruit, and green: Now shorn of beauty, and of strength, They stand a shatter'd scene.
Ere long the genial breath of spring Shall all their charms renew; And flowers, fruit and foliage bring, All pleasing to the view!
Thus round and round the seasons roll, In one harmonious course, And pour conviction on the soul, With unremitting force.
Not such is man's appointed fate— One spring alone he knows! One summer, one autumnal state, One winter's dead repose.
Yet, not the dreary depth of death Shall e'er his power destroy; But man shall draw immortal breath, In everlasting joy.
ANECDOTE.
History makes mention of an old bachelor, in the Roman times, who was recommending to his friend Epictetus to take a wife, and en- deavoring to convince him by many arguments, that marriage was a state both becoming and ne- cessary for a philosopher.— If so, then give me one of your daughters, answered Epictetus.
SPANISH PROVERB.
If you would know the worth of a ducat go and borrow one.

THE LOTS IN NEW-GARDEN.
NEW-GARDEN is a town lately laid out on an eligible situation, on part of that tract of land, well known by the name of English's Station, on the south bank of Dick's river, in the neighborhood of a very fertile settlement. It is unnecessary to enumerate the many advan- tages that accompany New-Garden; it abounds in good springs, good timber, sand and lime- stone, (which are essentials for building,) thro' which passes the great influx of emigration from the Eastern states to Kentucky.
The sale of said lots will commence on the premises on the 1st of November next, and will continue until the 5th, where due attention will be given by the subscriber or his agent— the purchaser giving bond and approved securi- ty—one third of the purchase money to be paid in three months from the day of sale, there- remaining two thirds payable in eighteen months from the day of sale; at which time a general warranty deed will be executed for said lots.
