LEXINGTON, July 5.
By late accounts from Philadelphia, the President of the united states is now on the recovery from a fit of sickness, by which his valuable life had for some time been despaired of.
The united states, in Congress, have agreed to raise an additional force of 10 companies, to be stationed in the territories of the Union, North West of the Ohio, and on the frontiers of Georgia with the Creeks and with the Spaniards of East Florida, and one battalion for the defence of Kentucky. The pay of the officers of all the troops of the union is to be much lowered.
The emperor of Germany is certainly dead, by poison, (as it is supposed) which the Male Content ecclesiasticks have insinuated into the candles which were used in his private chamber, by whose light, his eyes and brain had been infected: And the Empress of Russia was said to have been given over by her physicians. France is still progressing slowly, but surely, in the works of civil and religious reformation, unitedly with the monarch; and the revolution in the Austrian Netherlands still wears the aspect of doubt, as to its prosperous termination.
