LONDON May 1.
A Paris paper, a day later than those which arrived yesterday, has been received, but it adds nothing to the military details which were contained in the papers of the 27th, and contains only a short paragraph, which serves to convince us that the campaign has been opened upon the Rhine.
The official details from generals Souhet and Oudinot require some comment and explanation, to disengage them from the confusion which pervades their accounts, and which perhaps is in some degree to be accounted for, by the continued movements, and rapid succession of operations, which left those generals little leisure to give a clear full and distinct narrative.
It appears that the Austrians and French were engaged almost without intermission, for ten days, from the 6th to the 15th ult. inclusive: that during that time the success was various, though ultimately the Austrians were defeated in their main design, and of course the French were victorious.
The attack made by general Melas, on the 6th of April, was a general one, extending from the positions of the French on the eastern side of Genoa, to the post and intrenchments on the west as far as Savona. His object seems to have been to divide the force and attention of general Massena, hoping that if that general should direct his main force to the west, he would leave Genoa uncovered, and enable gen. Ott, who commanded the Austrians in the Riviera di Levante, that is on the eastern side of Genoa, to succeed in his attack upon that city. If however on the contrary, the French general should bear to the east, or keep his main body stationed at Genoa, the Austrians would then be enabled to fix themselves along a line extending from the Appennines to the sea at Savona, and thus interpose an obstacle which would cut off Massena's retreat towards Nice. In the attack made upon the east and western side of Genoa, upon the 6th, the Austrians were successful. General Miollis, was forced to fall back on the eastern side, and general Souldt, who occupied Montenotte and the heights of Savona, was forced to evacuate them, and retreat to Albizola, which is a little to the eastward of Savona. On the next day however, general Massena proceeded in person against general Ott, defeated him, and took 2,500 prisoners including a major general. General Melas in the mean time seems to have continued his successes on the western side of Genoa. Lieut. gen. Souhet was driven on the 7th, from his positions on the mountains at St. James and Mologno, and forced to fall back behind the river which descends to the sea at Finale. Whilst a part of the Austrian army was thus driving general Souhet before it, another division had advanced as far as Pieva. From that position, however, it was quickly driven by the Polish general Zallonowky.
Meanwhile gen. Massena having cleared the eastern side of Genoa, appears to have been collecting his force to proceed to the western. He sent a dispatch to gen. Souhet to advance from Albenga and attack the Austrians on one side whilst he directed his operations upon Albizola, and Saffello, which is to the northward of Albizola, and attacked the Austrians on the other side. On the 10th general Souhet retook Mologno. Massena does not appear to have gained any ground on that day but to have been frustrated in his attack upon the Austrian line. On the next day however according to general Oudinot's dispatches he drew the Austrians by a manœuvre into a valley of Albizola, probably from the heights of Savona, and defeated them. Of the actions of the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th, the official dispatches give no details.—They state merely that there was very warm fighting on each of those days, and that the French had the advantage. Souhet was at La Pietra, and it appears that the communication between him and the general in chief was open, for we find that Oudinot had arrived with orders from Massena. Where the latter was on the 19th is not said. It appears that he was preparing to make a general
attack in concert with Souhet on the 21st. Upon the whole, we conclude that the Austrians have not succeeded in their design of cutting off Massena's retreat, and that they had not been able to establish themselves in very strong force on a line from the Appennines to the sea. It is difficult however from the confusion which pervades the French accounts, to obtain any very accurate information, or to form any very decisive opinion. The object of the general attack which the French were to make on the 21st, was, probably to endeavor to drive the Austrians entirely out of the western part of the Genoese.
France.
PARIS, April 22.
We may now daily expect the arrival of the army of Egypt. Letters from Venice announce, that on the 14th Germinal a vessel arrived at Zante, in eleven days, stating that two Ragusan vessels had sailed from Alexandria, having gen. Kleber and 46 officers on board, and letters from Leghorn, say, that part of the army of Egypt, which sailed from Alexandria, have touched at the island of Sicily. The chief consul has fixed on the island of Hieres as the place at which they shall perform the necessary quarantine.
The letters from Embrun, which were published yesterday, left some doubts respecting the recapture of Mount Cenis by the French. The following is what we have received from Briancon, under the 12th of April.
"The campaign has been opened in our mountains. The Austrians surprised, three days ago, a post of thirty men, who kept Mount Cenis, and easily made themselves masters of that and of Lanslebourg. The possession of this important post opened the road to Chambery, and facilitated the blockade of Frenestrelles."
"General Thurreau immediately hastened from Embrun, collected all his forces in a moment marched day and night, surprised the Austrians in his turn at Exiles, where he took some prisoners and two pieces of cannon, and arrived at Suza, of which he took possession, and made 200 men, who kept Mount Cenis, prisoners. The news arrived this morning; it is certain but we do not know the details."
"The coup de main, as successful as it was daring, renders us masters of a post which covers at once Mont Blanc, Frenestrelles, and the Upper Alps."
The general in chief Massena, specially authorized by government, has concentrated all his forces on the coast of Genoa. The 104th demi-brigade, which was in the 7th division has repaired to Genoa. The system of war which the government has adopted, is that of keeping all the troops in a mass, on some favorable point, at the same time on the offensive and defensive. The frontier departments have therefore no occasion to be uneasy, if a number of points, which have during the war been furnished with troops are not so at present. Let them look to the right and to the left, and they will see numerous armies, more formidable, as they are more concentrated, not only threatening the enemy should it make any attack on the French territory, but in motion to repay by new brilliant victories the affront our armies received last campaign.
"Let those departments look behind them and they will behold the army of reserve already 50,000 strong, daily reinforced, and ready to advance to the right or to the left, according to the chance of war, and the plans of government; the military talents of which no one doubts."
"History will remark, that if the executive directory committed so essential a fault, two years ago as not to consolidate by a peace at Rastadt the peace of Campo Formio, by which the limits of the Rhine and Italy were irrevocably in our power the cabinet of Vienna has this year committed a still greater fault, by suffering itself to be intoxicated with the successes of the imperial army obtained last year in Italy, and by refusing a peace which would necessarily have ameliorated, in its favor, the treaty of Campo Formio."
"It is very probable the wheel of fortune will be entirely reversed this campaign. The magistrates who now direct the politics of the French government, know how to profit of a favorable moment and to fix it."
"Young Frenchmen, if you are jealous
of participating in so much glory and of contributing towards success, which will at once confound internal malevolence and the Machiavellian policy of the cabinet of St. James's; and if you are jealous of the honor of being an army destined to finish the war of the revolution, by asserting the independence, the liberty, and the glory of the great nation: to arms, to arms, hasten to Dijon!"— Vouiteur , April 28.
The commander in chief to the army of officers and soldiers.
A new campaign is about to open. It is necessary to conquer peace. Your valour, your patience in supporting every privation of an active war, a severe discipline, the first virtue of a soldier, will secure you victory, and with peace the happiness of the republic.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 10.
The arrival of the grand vizier in Egypt, and the evacuation of that country by the French have created the most lively pleasure of its inhabitants, and of our government, and will be celebrated by public festivals. The capt. Pacha is preparing to sail for Egypt in a few days, with a fleet of eleven ships of the line, six frigates, and two corvettes. The people are not able to conceive what is the cause of all these armaments against a country which is to be evacuated by the enemy, and as many ridiculous reports have been spread on that account, the Porte by a Firman, has strictly forbidden conversation on that business, in public places. The capt. Pacha sails in the beautiful ship the Selim.
The object of the fleet sailing for Egypt probably is, to escort the French army on its return to France, and to prevent its landing in Italy. The land troops it is said are destined to restore order in Egypt, to support the execution of the plan for a new organization of that country, but particularly to oppose the Beys, who not only attempt to reconquer their former possessions by force of arms, but even to extend them beyond their former limits. Murad Bey and Ibrahim Bey, have already taken possession again of their former governments, contrary to the wish of the Porte, which intends to place things upon a different footing from what they formerly were. The Arabs also, spoiled by French liberty, are said not only to rise against the Beys, but even against the Turkish government, so that it will be a difficult task for the Porte again to ensure a quiet possession of Egypt. Besides this a new rebel has arisen in European Turkey, a descendant of the former Khams of the Crimea, who had been liberated from a neighboring prison, thro' the mediation of the Porte. Since that time he had lived in a village near Stambul, whence he lately proceeded to Constantinople; but not meeting with that reception and distinction for obtaining those tracts of territory which had been promised to him, he has instigated the inhabitants of Romelia to rebellion, raises troops pillages the surrounding districts,
and will try his strength against the forces of the Porte. His army already amounts to fifteen thousand men, he demands contributions in Wallachia, and pretends to have a right to the throne of Turkey. This rebellion has caused several meetings of the council of state.
Single transport vessels continue to sail for Egypt, and the embarkation of the French will take place next month if the necessary transport vessels can be collected within that period. Neither of the allied powers has as yet protested against the capitulation of Egypt, but it is impossible to say what may be done, on account of the great distance of those courts.
The changes of the ministry of the Porte which usually take place during the Bairam, have not happened this time. The inspector of the arsenal is the only person that has been dismissed, and Sieriff Effendi is appointed his successor. Giannip Effendi has been nominated treasurer. The place of a Bostang Pacha, or governor of Adrianople, remains still unoccupied.
The English ambassador, lord Elgin, and the Russian ambassador, general Tamara, have frequent conferences with our government.
The Algerines, at the intercession of the Porte, have not only liberated many ships, but even paid the value of some that had been sold.
The number of troops at present at Constantinople have committed many excesses, which has induced the Porte, to order all shops where liquors are sold to be shut up. Provisions continue at an enormous price in this capital.

VIENNA, April 12.
Letters from Ceva state, that on the 23rd ultimo, the Genoese general Ostretto, in the service of the French republic had arrived there having effected his escape from Alberigna, where he had been confined. He was immediately conducted to Alessandria, under an escort of imperial troops. It is said that he found means to obtain a copy of the plan of the operations of the French.
The French troops desert in great numbers from Genoa, within the last week upwards of 400 arrived at the imperial advanced posts.
SUABIA, April 14.
It appears that in Suabia, and on the Rhine the Austrians intend to act merely on the defensive, for the present, till the event of the military operations in Italy, shall be known. After the fall of Genoa, gen. Melas will be able to send a strong corps to Switzerland, against which country in that case gen. Kray, would likewise direct his operations.
Should the French army attempt to invade Suabia, by crossing the Rhine, the Austrians are ready to give them a good reception. The cavalry of the imperial army in that quarter, amounts to 35,000 men.
All the imperial troops in Upper Suabia are now in motion, marching towards the lake of Constance, and the Grison country.
STRASBURG, April 20.
It was in the council of war, at which gen. Berthier assisted, with Lecourbe and 20 other generals, that it was determined to remove the head quarters to Colmar, which was done yesterday.

TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. STOLEN from my father, living in Lincoln county, about the last of May, a GRAY MARE, nearly fifteen hands high, six or seven years old, no brands recollected; she is esteemed to be worth forty pounds. It is believed she was stolen by a certain William Nichols, who left this place about that time, in a clandestine manner, and a mare of mine was taken which was left in my father's pasture, when the above mare was taken away—said Nichols is about 28 years of age, about 5' 6" or 10 inches high, a little round shouldered, fair complexion, injured in one of his feet by the cut of an axe, ties his hair; he is fond of cards, fagging, and drinking, and is a good scribe—worked formerly in Manchester, Virginia, at the carpenter's business—his mother lives in Shelby county. Whoever will secure the thief, so that he be brought to justice, and my father recovers his mare, shall have the above reward.

BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL. WASHINGTON, (G.) June 12. By the attention of an obliging correspondent in Greenborough, we are enabled to give our readers a statement of Bowles's present situation with the Indians. He has already set the Siminola Indians at variance with the Spaniards; and from his treatment towards colonel Hawkins, we think it highly probable that his intention is to get them provoked to do mischief to our frontier inhabitants.
The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman in Greenborough to the editor of this paper, dated June 6, 1800. "By letters I received last evening from the Creek nation (extracts from which I have enclosed) together with a copy from an original letter, written by W. A. Bowles to the head warrior of the Tallahassee.—Should you think the
publishing of them would be interesting to our fellow citizens, please give them a place in your paper. I am yours."
EXTRACTS. CoEtah Tallahassee, 2d June, 1800. "On the 29th of May, an Indian of the Cowetahs, arrived at this place, from St. Marks, reports, that on the 20th the Spaniards surrendered the fort, with all the arms ammunition &c. to general Bowles; he also brought a letter to (Tustanogee Opoio) the head man of this town, dated the 22nd, which I inclose you a copy of. The annual meeting of the nation is now sitting at the Tukubatha's—after that is over, you may expect to hear from me by the first opportunity."
From another letter. "Bowles has taken fort St. Marks from the Spaniards, together with all their arms, ammunition, &c.—The Indians are well pleased, and are going from all parts of the nation to join him."
(A COPY.) Fort, St. Marks, 22d May, 1800. Friends and Brothers, The great ruler of the world, knowing the justness of our cause, has been pleased to make the arms of Muskogee victorious over our enemies—the fort of St. Marks surrendered on the 20th inst.—We have taken it without the loss of one man. I send you this that you may rejoice, and communicate it to all our beloved people. I am yours, till death, (Signed) Wm. A. BOWLES. Tustanogee Opoio. N. B. Will be very glad to see you.
RICHMOND, July 4. On the 25th of last month, the act of Congress "Concerning Aliens" expired. While the death of this infamous and inhospitable law must excite joy in the breast of every real republican, that joy is considerably allayed, when we recollect that an act which violated our constitution, had its full period of existence.—We sincerely regret, that the indignant frowns of the of the people of the United States, had not warned their Representatives, of the necessity of extinguishing an act, which was anti-federal inhospitable, cruel and unconstitutional. July 8.
Some of the ministerial printers Northwardly, attribute the great scarcity of foreign news, to the number of vessels which have been captured in their passage from Europe. If this be a fact, what has become of the United States Navy? Where is the protection which this navy was to afford our commerce? They did not recollect when lately they have been asking these very questions, that the answer would be precisely found in Mr. Gallatin's celebrated speech upon that subject, which the whole of this northern junta of paper-spoilers so loudly censured.

Nourishment by absorption —Dr. Van Mons, of Brussels, has lately announced the following extraordinary circumstance: Having a patient under his care, who, on account of a wound, in his throat, was incapable of swallowing any kind of nourishment for several days, he kept him alive during that period by applying to the skin, in different parts of the body, several times a day, a sponge dipped in wine or strong soup. He concludes from this fact, that the absorbing vessels of the skin, are capable of carrying the fluids communicated to them to the interior parts of the body, as the latter convey the assimilated nourishment to the blood. In confirmation of this doctrine, one of our own navigators, (capt. Bligh) kept his companions from perishing of thirst, by applying sea-water to the skin. (London paper.)
Extract of a letter from a merchant in St. Kitts to his correspondent in Philadelphia, dated 10th May, 1800. "A person named William Rhea, who lived at Martinique, of Irish extract, was drowned a few months ago there. He has had a family in some part of America; and no doubt has left something handsome—If you can hear of any such persons, please to make their circumstances known, and if there be heirs or relations they must come fully prepared with such documents, as to put it out of doubt that they are the proper heirs of the deceased." Communications by letter or otherwise in reference to the above will be duly attended to by applying to William Haslett, Philadelphia. N. B. Printers throughout the United States will perform an act of benevolence by publishing the above.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
A DRINKING SONG, FOR THE LADIES.
Let tapers drain the flowing bowl, And tiply get for me; I ne'er their orgies shall control, So I've a bowl of tea.  And let them jest, and drink, and smoke, And stir up mirth and glee I'll stir up pleasure to provoke, A smoking cup of tea.  When round the board, the old and young, With characters make free; The pivot of the prattling tongue, What oils so well as tea?  But sorrow bid, should we take down, Noyau or ratifie; What can the fumes so fairly drown, As qualifying tea?  The type of life, its joys and cares, This beverage we see; The vital stream that water wears; The bitters are the tea.  West-India's produce are the sweets; And while they thus agree, In cream the happy medium meets, That life corrects, and tea.  Then let the great and rich give way; Pomp, pride and pedigree; We find distinctions every day, Levell'd by death and tea.  From gypsies, underneath the hedge, To the grand coterie, Kind females still each other pledge, In bowls of social tea.
ANECDOE.
A Scotchman walking along the street, heard a voice exclaiming, "Rogue, Scot, Scot, Rogue:"—Fired at the insult, he drew his sword, and looking round to see the object of his indignation, found that it was a parrot, seated in a balcony, within his reach. Disdaining to spill such ignoble blood, he put up his sword, and with a four smile, exclaimed, Gin ye were a man, as ye're a green geuse, I would split your weem.
