MR. BRADFORD.
OBSERVED a piece in your paper of the third instant by James Gay, informing the public, that I had made over to him the tract of land on which I now live, as security till I should make him a title to half my settlement right which I sold him; and in consequence of that bargain, interdicts all persons from purchasing said tract or any part of it from me—but I never made any such bargain either verbally or by writing—the gentleman must have made the bargain altogether himself, as nothing of that kind ever transpired between us, therefore this is to let him know (as well as the public) that the bargain is void, for I will not stand to it until he makes considerable alterations.

LONDON, January 9. "A letter from Frankfort, dated December 22, states—"We know not what effect the late changes in France may have on the belligerent powers; but it is certain that a good understanding is re-established between the two Imperial courts, and the explanations made, seem to have revived the coalition. We know not how long this harmony may last.—The following is the plan which intelligent persons say, has been last agreed upon for the ensuing campaign. "Suwarrows will command an army of 100,000 men, viz. 80,000 Russians and 20,000 Palatins, Bavarians, Swifs, and Candians. He will act independently of the Austrians, and make his entrance through Franche Compte. Arrived on the territory of France, Suwarrows will proclaim himself regent of the kingdom, and act in that character by means of a special power obtained from Louis XVIII. "The archduke Charles will penetrate at the same time into Alsace, while gen. Melas shall enter with his army into Provence, and Dauphiny, through Nice and Barcelonette. "To second these operations, England,
which at first offered to furnish an army of 30,000 men, recollected that this army, so expensive, would not be so useful as a Russian army; and the same sum that would be required for an English force of 30,000 men, would be sufficient for 100,000 men belonging to the emperor Paul; consequently it preferred advancing the money; and has promised to pay the emperor of Russia the sum of four millions sterling, to be at the disposal of the latter on the first of March next. Prussia does not appear at this moment to have entered into these arrangements, but we hope to see it in the spring, taking an active part in favor of the coalition."
A letter from Brussels, dated December 10, states—"We learn that, according to the new arrangements, made between England and Russia, the emperor Paul is to furnish the allies with 100,000 men in the pay of the former court, to act on the side of the Rhine.
"Troops are constantly passing from Holland towards the Rhine—The position of the fortresses of Cassel becomes daily more critical on account of the absolute impossibility of supplying it with provisions, from the communication being cut off between both sides of the river."
A letter from Vienna dated December 17, states—"The war intended for the year 1800 has already been decreed in the following words:
"All the world knows the necessity which the present war imposes for charges and extraordinary expenses, and how much, in our paternal solicitude, we had at heart to secure the well being and safety of our faithful subjects by a long and durable peace. But as we have not hitherto been able to accomplish that object, we find ourselves forced to the necessity of continuing in a state of defence; and considering the means that are necessary for that end, our attention was principally directed to the purpose that the extraordinary expenses to be furnished by our faithful subjects, should be laid on in such a manner, that each without any exception, should contribute to the extraordinary exigencies of the states, in proportion to his annual revenue, and the produce of his industry. Consequently we have resolved to substitute, for the war impost which was heretofore levied, a proportional tax divided by classes, according to which the actual revenue or produce of industry of each individual shall contribute according to the following scale:—From 100 to 300 florins per annum, two and a half per cent. from 300 to 800, 3 and a half per cent. and so on progressively to 20 per cent. at which are taxed revenues of 150,000 florins and upwards."
January 11. Though for the last two days there has been no communication of any importance from the continent the public mind is left in no degree of suspense respecting the continuance of this mighty struggle, and all Europe resounds with the note of warlike preparations!
The hardy subjects of the emperor Paul, rush from the frozen regions of the North, and uniting their steed valor with the veteran discipline of the Austrian legions, menace the uncemented throne of the consular despot, while England sweeps the seas, and prepares its warlike sons to conquer in the Seine that peace which a presumptuous and exulting enemy threatened to dictate on the Thames. With this view a general order has been given to most of the commanders in the kingdom to join their respective corps by the beginning of next month; and it is confidently stated that all the disposable force of the country, combined with a formidable Russian army, are to second the efforts of the royalists in the heart of France; while the Imperial Eagle penetrate its frontiers.
Lexington, April 24. A very melancholy scene was yesterday witnessed by the citizens of this place: about ten o'clock, the Duck Manufactory, a brick building, 160 feet long, in which was ten persons, was entirely blown down; and it is truly astonishing, that considering the immense quantity of rubbish which overwhelmed them, only two perished: Several are much bruised, and the overseer had his thigh broke. The loss the proprietors have sustained by this accident, cannot be less than five thousand dollars, and the loss to the public is incalculable.
The following are the most important articles received by last evening's mail. LONDON, January 27.
Yesterday the Dublin mail of the 23d reached town. We learn from our correspondent, that on Thursday Napper Tandy was to be brought down to the court of King's Bench for the purpose of being identified.—It was expected that he would soon afterwards be ordered for execution; the arts of the Anti-Unionists have been too successful in Dublin with the rab-
ble, whose minds were in a state great irritation.
January 29. A letter from Hoeteh, dated Jan 24, says "There has been blood shed to-day, for the Austrians, and the French fought during several hours with inconceivable heat, and many lives were lost on both sides if we may judge of the killed from the number of the wounded who have been brought here. The advantage finally remained with the French; and as the Austrians had their reinforcements on the other side of the Mein, they could not come to their succour. The French have neglected, we know not why, to take advantage of their success, as they retired to Hatterheim."
January 30. The last French papers give us reason to believe that very active preparations are making in most of the French ports, particularly Brest and Toulon. Vice admiral Bruix has been to Havre, Honfleur and Brest. Rear admiral Latouche, who was ordered to proceed with all possible speed to Brest, received counter orders on the 18th January, and was sent to Toulon, where he is to have a command, and from whence a small squadron only waited, according to the Paris papers, a fair wind to set sail upon some expedition. The ships had ammunition and provisions on board. A small number of ships had been previously dispatched from Toulon, and it is said, have contrived to throw supplies into Malta.
January 31. Yesterday morning arrived a mail from N. York, brought by the Grantham packet in 21 days. The sons of the late duke of Orleans, under the title of the duke of Orleans, the duke de Montpensier, and the count de Beaujolais, arrived in the packet.
Late last night we received an express from Dover, with the Paris papers to the 26th inst. inclusive. Their contents are very important.
Gen. Moreau, on taking the command of the army of the Rhine, has assured his soldiers that all their wants shall be supplied. All his predecessors have made the same promises, and yet no armies were ever in a state of greater misery. It appears that all the garrison troops both in Holland and Belgium have been sent to the Rhine. Every movement announces the speedy opening of the campaign.
Forty thousand fresh Russian troops have passed the bog, to join the army of Marshal Suwarrows.
PARIS, January 24. The melancholy intelligence of the death of Championet is confirmed by citizen Hoguay, one of his aids de-camp, just arrived from Nice. He died on the 19th of Jan. at the age of 37, after 12 days illness of an epidemic disorder, which has also carried off several of his officers.
It is said that cardinal Bellefoni, formerly nuncio at Cologne, was to have been elected Pope at Venice, but would not accept the office. It is now believed that cardinal Herzan will have the greatest number of suffrages.
A journal announces, that eight thousand Chouans have been killed or made prisoners, in a battle near Mans. It lasted 8 hours.

From the Baltimore Federal Gazette of the 2d inst.
The anxiety of the public for late advices from Europe, perhaps never rose to a greater height; and we are happy in being able in some degree to allay it with an extra fleet this morning. By an arrival at New-York intelligence is received thirty days later than hitherto published but the leading articles, if we except the correspondence between the executives of England and France, are not of that important stamp we had reason to expect—It is observed by an opposition print, and the assertion is corroborated by the ministerial papers, that every prospect of a speedy peace has vanished. The status ante bellum and the restoration of monarchy are the sine qua non of the allied powers, and preparations, still more formidable, are making for another bloody campaign.
The rumor in circulation yesterday is contradicted by this arrival. The sickle Parisians have not yet got tired of their new despot and every thing continues to go on smoothly under his Egyptian majesty.
