PARIS, August 12.
Temps of August.
This distinguished epoch was celebrated at the Luxembourg, by a symphony; at the close of which the president celebrated the heroes of the day. There were horse and foot races in the camp de Mars, and prizes were distributed. The Champs Elysees and Luxembourg were illuminated, and splendid balls given.
It is said to be fact, that the naval secret expedition at Breist, so much talked of, is not a mere rué de guerre , but that 10,000 of Hoche's men are going thither to embark. If this be fact, we have little to expect from Lisle, like a speedy peace.
At Rome, it is affirmed, a revolution has been effected; that the people have chosen a senate, which exercises the government; and that the pope is considered no other than as an ecclesiastical officer. This is asserted by the Moniteur and other papers; and contradicted by the Redacteur , which however admits that Rome is much agitated.
August 13.
It appears certain, that 10,000 men from the army of the Sambre and Meuse, who were to have arrived at Rheims yesterday are going to Breist. Other detachments are repairing thither by other routes. These movements appear to announce the execution of the long projected maritime expedition is at hand; a circumstance which makes us apprehensive that the negotiations at Lisle are not in such a forward state as all France wishes them to be. In spite of these hostile appearances, we still preserve the hope that peace is not far off.
One more step is made towards the general pacification! One ally taken from England; one branch of the coalition cut off; one additional motive for believing that the negotiations at Lisle will be successful, or at least, that their progress will be more rapid—In short, a treaty of peace has been concluded between the French republic and Portugal.
This treaty appears to be very advantageous to France; among many articles relating to a trade of which France had never yet partaken; since every thing favors reciprocal imports, and the balance is all in favor of France, who drinks none of the wines of Portugal while Portugal consumes a considerable quantity of French wines; since Portugal accords a demission of duties on importation; it may be further remarked, how much we are in favor in many other respects.
This treaty obliges Portugal to admit no more than six ships of war into the port of Lisbon, and in her smaller ports, only three ships of war, belonging to each of the belligerent powers.—It may be seen that as England has no allies who sends ships into these ports, this article is very advantageous to France; since six French, six Dutch, and six Spanish ships may be at Lisbon at the same time, against six English. It is also known, that the English have no other harbours in these seas while France has those of Spain, thus it was of great consequence to insert the article by which Portugal engaged to admit no prizes taken by the ships of war or privateers into her ports. They even go so far as to prohibit the sale of merchandise that is captured on board a ship.
Nothing can be more favorable and encouraging to the national industry than the article which promises a kind of premium, an extraordinary diminution of duty, in favor of articles imported from Europe by either of the contracting parties into the dominions of the others. provided the cargoes belong to merchants of the nation that imports and are imported in ships of that nation.
We may see by the secrecy with which this negotiation was conducted, and the rapidity with which it was concluded, that the spirit which so abruptly broke off the preceding negotiation no longer presides over our diplomatic system. It was certainly fortunate and skilful, thus to leave England to herself, and cut off the last branches of the coalition.
[Eclair.]
According to Perlet, the treaty consists of eight articles, which stipulate for the exclusion of privateers and their prizes from the ports of Portugal; for a cession of a part of the Portuguese territory in America to
the French; for a commercial intercourse between the two countries, highly advantageous to the republic; and a private article, it is said, for the payment of 10 or 12 millions of livres to France. Nothing official appears in the prints on the subject, tho' the treaty has been read in the Council of Five Hundred.
The French journalists augur, from the rapid manner in which this treaty has been concluded, a speedy issue of the negotiations at Lisle and Udina. We are not furnished thro' their channel, with any information from either place, which can lead to a conjecture on the subject.
La Fayette.
A letter from Ratisbon, dated July 27, says, "Madame de la Touche Meau-bourg, who has arrived here on her way to Vienna, where she intended to solicit the release of her husband, and of the Marquis La Fayette, on the receipt of some letters, set out yesterday for Dresden; and we now learn, that the Olmutz prisoners have at length been set at liberty, and are now on their return to France by the way of Bohemia."
LONDON, August 15.
If the expedition from Breist should have Ireland for its object, the force there is sufficient to give a good account of them, there being now in arms in that island, no less than 98,000 men, composed as follows:
  Regular troops 40,000   Militia 24,000   Yeomanry corps 34,000   Total of military force 98,000 
August 17.
Many think the peace between Portugal and France will accelerate peace between us and the republic. Having no allies to attend to, we may certainly hope for overtures, more according with the disposition and interest of our own government.
This peace appears extraordinary, as the court of Portugal, gave fervent assurance of remaining with us; it had not, however, got the last subsidy of 200,000l. about 70,000 only had been paid.
After the cabinet meeting on the late dispatches from Lisle, reports were current, that favourable news had been received from thence.
BOSTON, October 5.
The late English papers state, that an alliance of considerable importance was forming between the Northern powers of Europe; that the sublime Porte, since the revolution of Venice, had sent away the French artillery and horse, which it has for some time had in its service. That an insurrection has taken place at Rome, and the Pope been deposed from his sovereignty; that admiral Jervis had not quitted his station; but that a mutiny had broken out in the Spanish fleet at Cadiz; that La Fayette and his fellow sufferers, had been released, and were returning to France by the way of Bohemia; and that the negotiations between Austria and France, were at a stand, as the French wished to dispose of Mantua otherwise than was agreed upon in the preliminaries.
ALEXANDRIA, October 3.
We announce with much pleasure, and from authority unquestionable, that the marquis de la Fayette and family have been liberated from confinement in the prison of Olmutz. His son, who is now at mount Vernon, will take passage to that part of Europe, which will soonest present him to the embrace of a persecuted parent, and mother and sister inimitably affectionate.
October 9.
At the election for sheriff last week at Marlborough court house (Maryland) a very serious affray happened. The parties of the different candidates in the after part of the day, became so irritated at each other as to come to blows, when a general engagement ensued. One man was killed on the spot by a blow on the head, after he had jumped out of the court-house window, in endeavouring to escape, two others have since died, and several are very badly wounded.
WILMINGTON (N. C.) Sept. 11. PROCLAMATION.
Whereas I have received information that a certain Ezekiel Polk, John Johnston, and others of Mecklenburg county, in this state, not regarding
their duty as citizens, nor the peace, order and good government of this and the United States; of their own mischievous minds and imagination, and in contempt of the lawful authorities of the said states, did lately, in the county of Mecklenburg aforesaid, and parts adjacent, set on foot, and prepare for carrying on, a military expedition for the invasion of, and taking into their possession, the territory of the Indians, on the Tennessee, with whom the United States are at peace. And for the above nefarious purposes, by themselves and others, did persuade, incite, and stir up many persons in the said county of Mecklenburg and elsewhere, to enlist and equip themselves as soldiers; and did actually cause such enlistments and equipments to be made.
Wherefore to prevent such daring and illegal proceedings in future, and to bring the said Ezekiel Polk, John Johnston and others, principal offenders, to justice, I do by and with the advice of the council of state, issue this proclamation, strictly charging and requiring all officers of justice, and others to apprehend, secure, and bring to justice, the said Ezekiel Polk, John Johnston and other principal delinquents, if to be found in this state. And I hereby prohibit under the several penalties of the law, all such illegal preparations and proceedings in future; and I caution all the good citizens of the state against the illusory representations and promises which may be held forth to them, to engage them in such unwarrantable enterprizes, that will finally involve them in great difficulty and ruin.
Given under my hand and seal, at Raleigh, the first day of September, A. D. 1797, and in the 22d of American independence.

NEW-YORK, October 11.
From the Ontario Gazette, printed at Geneva, by Mr. Lucius Cary.
GENEVA, Sept. 22.
The treaty held at Big Tree, on the Genesee river, with the Seneca nation of Indians, was concluded last Saturday. The object of this was the extinguishment of the title to lands ceded by this state to the state of Massachusetts, and purchased by Mr. Robert Morris of Philadelphia. The Indians agree to sell the whole of the lands, excepting reservations about their present settlements. In three places on the Genesee river, reservations of two miles each; at Caneadea, Canegadere and on the Allegany, reservations from five to twenty thousand acres were made, and at the village of Buffalo and Nanawante, twenty square miles, the whole of the reservations amounting to 196,000 acres.
The business was concluded with the greatest unanimity on the part of the Indians, and their conduct highly decent.—From motives of self interest, some individuals had gone to considerable expense to frustrate the intention of the treaty and no business could be done until the laws were put in force.
The sale stipulates that 100,000 dollars shall be immediately paid into the hands of the president of the United States, as the guardian of the Seneca nation, to be by him invested in the funds of the United States, and the interests arising therefrom to be annually paid to the Seneca nation; this will amount to about 150 dollars per annum to each family.
This has this great and fertile country, containing about 4,500,000 acres come into the possession of the white people—and from the great improvements making in this country, in roads and other marks of civilization, we may reasonably expect that in the course of next season there will be a good road to the falls of Niagara.
October 12.
Last Saturday evening a very sudden squall of wind and thunder came up from the S. W. the S. E. flank of which passed over this city, but did no great mischief. The heaviest part of this squall passed into Westchester county, and we learn, that the effects of it in North Salem were most terrible; the houses of Mr. Northrup, Mr. Titus, Mr. Shearman, Mr. Smith, and several others, were unroofed; several hundred apple and other trees, torn up by the roots; a young daughter of
Mr. Northrup carried several rods by a whirlwind, &c.
KNOXVILLE, Sept. 18.
On Saturday last returned to this town the hon. William Blount. As soon as his approach was made known the volunteer troop of cavalry, commanded by John Lavender, esq. and a large concourse of citizens hastened to receive him, and met him eight miles from this place, where, after refreshment, he was conducted into town in the following order, viz.
A detachment of the troop of cavalry.
The hon. Mr. Blount, accompanied by the hon. gen. White, and the hon. Mr. Stuart, late speaker of the house of representatives.
The troops of cavalry.
Citizens in files.
We are happy to say, that Mr. Blount has received on his journey through this state, the most flattering and hearty welcome from every description of citizens—a welcome justly due from a grateful people to the father, friend and protector of their state.

Further particulars of the defeat of the British at Tennesse.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of distinction, dated at St. Cruz (Tennesse) July 26, 1797.
"DEAR SIR,
"On the morning of the 22d inst. we were alarmed by the fire of the guns from our forts, and immediately as day light appeared we had sight of six English men of war, and a parcel of boats, who had endeavored to land a large body of troops, but returned on board, as day light had overtaken them before they could reach the shore. That same day three frigates anchored under the rocks of the east of our town, but out of the reach of the guns of our forts, and landed 1300 men, with an intention to take possession of the heights over the town, & of the castle of Potosco, but were prevented from effecting their project by our troops, under the command of capt. John Breagh, of infantry, and a small body of French sailors, under the command of capt. Pomer, of the brig Marine.—On the 22d they embarked their men with only the loss of 3 killed, and the frigates got under weigh and stood off and on, all that day, in company with the three other men of war. In the evening of the same day they were joined by another man of war, a cutter, and a bombarding vessel. In the evening of the 24th they all anchored in the same place as the frigates had done before, and at night the bomb vessels fired in and kept a continual fire on the castle of Potosco, and on our troops that were posted on the hill, but no harm was done on either side, though the castle answered her fire very smartly. At about 2 o'clock in the morning, they approached in a large number of boats, and were not perceived till they were near the shore, when a most tremendous fire began from the forts, and, notwithstanding the loss of sixteen of their boats that were sunk by our forts, they effected their landing in four different places—A warm action ensued on shore, and they thought to have gained the day, as our general ordered the fire to be suspended till day light, and in the mean time preparations were made to renew the attack.
Immediately as day appeared, the English were smartly attacked by our troops, and obliged to shelter themselves in the convent of St. Dominic, having broken open the doors—but seeing themselves surrounded on all sides by our troops, and a quantity of field pieces, they desired to parley, and ineluctantly offered to leave the town if the King's treasure and the cargo of the Manille ship, were delivered up to them; the former to a butcher man, woman and child, and set fire to the town if they refused. We were not frightened by their menaces, and told them they might do as they pleased, but should abide by the consequences. A few that were then passed, and they offered again to capitulate, which the humanity of our government could not refuse, as follows—To be allowed to go on board with their arms, and that none of the squadron now before the town, should attack any of these islands during the war.

No action has ever been so disgraceful to the English, and it will be a stain to their nation to the end of time. They contended themselves that they came for nothing else but to pillage; and it is surprising that an English admiral with all the captains and chief officers of this squadron should ever have disgraced their names by such an infamous expedition, worthy of none but the most abandoned pirates.
The expedition consisted of upwards of 1500 men, under the command of rear admiral Horatio Nelson, who had his right arm shot off before he reached the shore. Of these, 672 returned on board in good health. Their loss, according to their own account, amounts to upwards of eight hundred men, among whom 27 officers dead, besides a great number wounded—but I suspect it is more, as the cutter was sunk by one of our forts, as she was bringing field pieces with near three hundred men, of whom not more than fifty were saved—and three other boats were also sunk out of ten that were coming in the morning to reinforce those that were ashore. A refreshment of bread, wine and fruit, was distributed to them all before they returned on board.
The loss on our side is nothing—22 killed, including 4 French sailors, who fought like devils, and 38 wounded, including 5 French.
A bomb vessel sunk by themselves having been burnt from the fire from shore.
“It is impossible to know if any more captains are dead as they would not say a word about it. They say that the famous Capt. Bowen (who cut a Spanish East Indiaman in April out of our bay) had deceived them, as he made them believe they would find no resistance, and that with 600 men he would take the town. They were likewise made to believe that the Manila ship, which they supposed came from Lima, had brought 13 millions of dollars. They were easily mistaken, as they confessed that they never in their lives experienced such dreadful fires: and the Manila ship did not bring a single dollar, her cargo consisting of copper, pepper, and mullins, worth about 200,000 ster. I believe they won't return again in a hurry. They were treated by our governor with more politeness than they deserved—he offered that they should leave their wounded on shore, as they would be well taken care of but the surly dogs would not agree to it. There were about 50, or 60 badly wounded, and so much so that many died before they got to the mole, and some before they reached their vessels.”
BALTIMORE, October 3. Extract of letter from the North of Ireland, dated July 7.
“Our unhappy country still continues in a state of distraction; persecution, distress and dismay, are the order of the day. Government put the country to great expence in raising a militia, to keep the people in awe; these becoming suspected of disloyalty, a large armed body of yeomanry was raised, to ensure the implicit obedience of the militia. Now, both these bodies are suspected, and the country is covered with another army, composed of English and Scotch regiments, to keep the former in obedience. Thus we have to maintain 3 armies of about 30,000 men each, raised to watch one another, and the whole mean to watch and overawe the people! Although the government has an equal suspicion of both the Presbyterians and the Roman Catholics, yet it levels all its most pointed vengeance on the former, pretending to coincide in the loyalty of the latter; accordingly, every method is taken to dragoon the devoted inhabitants of Ulster, the factious republicans of the North. One instance will suffice to shew the nature of the system—Our governors have taken a prodigious aversion to green; besides searching every place for arms, and anything of the prescribed colour, they examine meeting houses in the time of divine service, and woe to the girl, or old woman who has a green ribband or even a garter! A few days ago, a capt. B. with a party of soldiers suddenly surrounded a meeting-house in the county of D. whilst the congregation were celebrating the holy sacrament; the valiant capt. burst the doors open and marched in his men
with fixed bayonets, overturning the tables and the sacred utensils then in use; and drawing up in the front of the pulpit he began a general search for arms, or any thing green, and at the time his drums and fies loudly beating and playing the most profane tunes that his gross imagination could suggest. The congregation had the wisdom to support this unexampled outrage with a firm calmness, which seemed to disappoint the magnanimous capt. as he was heard to say at his departure from his glorious feat, “Damn them, they won't rebel!”

WILLIAM SOLSMAN NOTICE. THAT application will be made to the county court of Lincoln, at their December court by the subscriber hereof, for an order to establish a town, to be called New-Garden, on part of a tract of land formerly the property of Charles Inglis, on which was that well known place called English Station; also for the purpose of appointing and vesting in certain trustees, the aforesaid premises, agreeable to an act of the general assembly of Kentucky, entitled an act concerning the establishing towns. LUCAS SUIVANT, tf Town of Washington.
To distillers and others WHO may incline to carry on the business of rectifying spirituous liquors and the manufacturing cordials in an extensive manner, may now be supplied with the necessary articles for carrying on the same, by applying at the sign of Andrew M'Gulld's Apothecary's Shop near Braxton's tavern, Lexington. The Articles principally are for making the following liquors, viz. Spirituos aniseed-water ditto clove-water ditto orange-water, all sour, &c. Also for making brandy and geneva equal in flavour and purity to that imported—There are upwards of 300 lbs. of Holland juniper berries, and 100 lbs. aniseeds, which may be purchased distinct from the other articles, if applied for soon. Any person or persons inclining to purchase the whole, or the juniper berries or Aniseed seed alone, or the whole of the articles for making brandy and cordials, will (if required) receive genuine instructions gratis, how to use them to the greatest possible advantage.
Also, an exceeding good COPPER STILL, almost a quarter of an inch thick, containing better than 300 gallons, with a worm made of the very best pewter, having ten turns and weighing upwards of 300 lbs. with a large quantity of wrought iron suitable to set up the still in the compleatest manner—the whole of which will be sold very low on very easy terms, and instructions given for fixing the works in the most complete order, so that it can be worked with more ease than many stills are now of 100 gallons. N.B. Cordials can be made to more advantage in warm than cold weather.

On the said plantation there is a good public mill seat and two branches sufficiently large to erect a mill large enough to carry on the brewing or distilling business. The place will be sold cheap as the possessor is in want of money. J. GEARY.
Samples of several sorts of the cordials, &c. may now be seen at the house of Mr. M'Calla.
The public, I presume, has seen a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and Joseph Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass unanswered, but that I am apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledgment of their claim—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can he legally claim a foot of property under me—If he could, why do not the persons claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desired that my land disputes might be terminated, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure. In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last—but 'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued with more keenness, if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people—they kindly say they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentlemen if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be, but most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning complaisance, would resent it as I do. B. NETHERLAND.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
A NEW SONG.
Tune—Top Sail shivers in the wind. FAIR Freedom lend thy gracious aid, To sing our fabric's fame; By patriots rais'd, celestial maid! It boasts this sacred name: On thy broad batis, may it be The pride and safeguard of the free!
Here Justice holds her even scales, And grasps her rightful sword; As truth directs she never fails To punish or reward. Here equal law is virtue's guide, And virtue's sons therein confide.
Here blue-eyed peace with gentle sway, Extends her blessings far; Though by her dictates rul'd we may Be still prepared for war: The force which from our union grows, Shall aid our friends & crush our foes.
Thus is our independence reared On freedom, strength and peace; By virtue lov'd, by faction fear'd, For faction's self must cease. Contented now we'll happy live, While industry and trade shall thrive.
Come! Ceres, come! in golden pride, Adorn each waving field; Come with Pomona by thy side, And fruitful harvests yield; The Heav'nly pair their favors show'r, And agriculture owns their pow'r.
See commerce with extended hand, Flies the retreat of kings; And foreign riches to this land, From every climate brings; Blest by her smiles, we soon shall find, That where she's free, she's always kind.
May science and her handmaid art, To this new world belong! And infant muses joy impart In strains of sportive song! Apollo fee! with glory drest Appears resurgent in the West.
America is thus become, A seat to freedom dear, Where virtuous strangers find a home, And no oppression fear. These rising states shall be renown'd, By plenty, art and science crown'd.
ANECDOTE.
A very extraordinary DUEL between a MAN OF DISTINCTION and a DOG in the year 1271, in presence of King Charles the fifth of France.
A Gentleman of the court was supposed to have murdered another who had been milking some days. This suspicion arose from the mute testimony of the absent person's dog, a large Irish greyhound, who with uncommon rage attacked the supposed murderer wherever he met him. As he was a gentleman, and a man of very nice honor (though by the way he had really murdered the man) he could not bear lying under so dishonourable a suspicion, and therefore applied to the king for leave to justify his innocence by single combat with the said dog. The king, being a great lover of justice granted his suit, ordered the lists to be made ready, appointed the time and named the weapons. The gentleman was to have an offensive club in his hand, and the dog a defensive tub to resort to occasionally. The Irish greyhound willingly met his fair invitor at the time and place appointed; for it has always been observable in that particular breed, that they have an uncommon alacrity at single combat. They fought; the dog prevailed, and almost killed the honorable gentleman, who had then the honor to confess his guilt, and of being hanged for it in a very few days.
