BONN, June 20.
A bloody action was again fought yesterday between Ukeroth & Altenkirchen.—The details given vary in some particulars; but they all agree, that the French grenadiers and dragoons fought like lions, and that every inch of ground the Austrians gained was covered with their own blood. General Kleber advanced during the day upon the enemy, and continued his retreat undisturbed towards night. About three hundred wounded were sent here the same day by General Kleber.
The corps of Kleber falls again back to its former position on the Wupper, whilst the divisions of Jourdan's army that had crossed the Rhine, occupy already their positions between Mayence and Coblenz.
The French attribute the check they suffered near Wetzlaer to the great superiority of the Austrians, who amounted to from fifteen to twenty thousand men, whilst the division of Le Febvre was not half so numerous.
France.
PARIS, June 25.
"The reports of peace, which were believed for several days, and which (says L'Eclair) were only repeated after the public voice, are attributed to the arrival in Paris of an Austrian secretary of Legation to Switzerland. We are assured he came to propose an armistice; but the conditions could not be agreed on. This secretary is returned.—It is believed that there is not now any open negotiation between France and Austria."
Adet, minister plenipotentiary of the Republic, to the United States of America, had demanded a successor. The Directory long sought for one. That embassy had been offered to several citizens, who had refused it and particularly to Marey. Circumstances have changed in America, and the anti-English party having recovered their influence, Adet has expressed a desire to retain his situation, which the Directory has complied with.

Head Quarters at Bologna, June 23. Buonaparte commander in chief of the army in Italy, to the Executive Directory.
General Angereau's division, Citizen Directors, passed the Po at Borgoforte, on the sixteenth of June; on the tenth of June I arrived at Modena, whence I sent orders, by Adjutant General Vignole, to the garrison of the castle of Urbino, to lay down their arms, and become prisoners of war. I continued my route to Bologna, where I arrived at midnight. We found in the fort of Urbino fifty pieces of cannon in excellent order, five hundred fusées, and provision for six hundred men for two months. Fort Urbino is in an excellent state of defence; it is surrounded by walls well provided with bastions, a ditch full of water, and a covered way newly repaired. It was commanded by a knight of Malta, and the garrison consisted of three hundred men, whom we have made prisoners.
At Bologna we took the Cardinal Legate, with all the officers of the staff, and four standards. We have also taken Cardinal Legate, of Ferrara, with the commandant of the fort of Ferrara, who is a knight of Malta. In the castle of Ferrara, there are one hundred and fourteen pieces of cannon.
The artillery we have taken will enable us to form the siege of Mantua. The twenty pictures with which Parma was to supply us are sent off. The celebrated picture of St. Jerome is so much esteemed in this country, that they offered us a million for it.
Some pictures from Modena are also sent off. Citizen Barthelemi is at present employed in making a selection of the pictures at Bologna. He intends to take fifty of them; among
which is the St. Cecilia, which is said to be the chef d'œuvre of Michael Angelo.
Monge, Bertholin, and Thorin, Naturalists, are at Pavia, employed in enriching our Botanic garden, and our cabinet of natural history. I imagine they will not forget a complete collection of serpents, sufficient to compensate for the trouble of the journey. I expect they will be at Bologna the day after to-morrow, where they will also find a plentiful harvest.
At Milan I saw the celebrated Oriani; the first audience he had of me, he was so confused that he could not answer any question I put to him. When he recovered from his astonishment, he said, "Pardon me, but this is the first time I have been in the superb apartments, my eyes are not accustomed." He was not aware, that by these few words he uttered a severe criticism on the arch duke's government. I hastened to pay him his salary, and gave him every necessary encouragement.
By the first courier, I shall send you the letters I wrote to him, the moment I received the recommendation which you sent me for him.
BUONAPARTE.
Extract of a letter from Buonaparte, to the Executive Directory.
Head Quarters, Bologna, June 23.
Yesterday Massena attacked Beauieu's advanced posts; all which he drove in, having killed fifty men and taken forty prisoners.
I continue to be satisfied with the discipline of the army, as well as with the generals.
BUONAPARTE.
July 4.
The Ottoman Ambassador is arrived in France. He passed through Chamberry on the twenty-fifth of June, and may be expected at Paris in a few days.
The Cardinals of Bologna and Ferrara were made prisoners; but Buonaparte, after he had shown them to the army, sent them back to Rome, on their parole, saying, "Go and tell your master what you have seen."

Letter from general Buonaparte to the Executive Directory.
Head Quarters at Pistoja, June 26.
Prince Pignatelli, citizen Directors, is just arrived at this place, with instructions from his court, who has accepted the armistice. An order will be sent off this day to the commander in chief of the Neapolitan cavalry, to leave the Austrian army. This plenipotentiary is to set out for Paris to-morrow.
BUONAPARTE.
Letter from general Buonaparte to the Executive Directory.
Head Quarters at Pistoja, June 26.
I have enclosed, citizen Directors, a copy of the armistice concluded with the Pope.
The legation of Bologna is one of the richest parts of the Papal territories, you cannot have an idea of the hatred which prevails here against the dominion of the pope.
The citadel of Ancona gives us a command over the Adriatic gulph; we have taken in the forts Orbio, Ferrara and Cologua, nearly two hundred pieces of brass cannon, from seven to eight thousand fusées and a certain quantity of ammunition and provisions.

LONDON, June 29.
The Prince of Wales came yesterday to Carleton house, and a reconciliation took place between him and the princess. They dined together with a select party. The new arrangement of the household will take place immediately. Lady Jersey resigns her situation as mistress of the robes, and will pay her respects to their majesties the first court day after. Their royal highnesses will go to the drawing room on Thursday, and there will be a series of fetes given by the principal nobility on the happy occasion.
The Redacteur of the 25th has the
following article from the editor.
"N. B. the French journals of Paris, who are disfigured every day by publishing the ridiculous relations of the French journals, Frankfort, which are at the devotion of the emigrants, which have announced a conceivable defeat of the army of Italy, in attempting to pass the Addige. What is most remarkable in this news, is its absolute falsehood. On the third of June gen. Buonaparte announced from Verona, that he was possessed of all the bridges of the Adige; his advanced guards were ten leagues from thence. No battle had taken place on the 20th. The Republican army had advanced almost without a blow far on the other side of that river."
"THUAN."
July 4.
We yesterday received by express Paris journals to the 30th ult. inclusive. By these we learn, that the French very unexpectedly, crossed the Rhine at Strasburgh on the 23d ult. with a very considerable force, and taking the Austrians by surprise, made themselves masters of the strong fort of Kehl, and after making from six to seven hundred prisoners, extended their destructive incursions into the neighboring country.
The Hamburgh mail due yesterday arrived in town this morning, and brought an account of some further advantages gained by the victorious Austrians over the flying French.
Different accounts from Frankfort of the 21st ult. mention a second action to have been fought at Okeroth, on the 20th, in which the French were defeated with the loss of 1800 men left dead on the field, 700 prisoners, and several pieces of cannon.—These accounts further state, that the column of French retiring from Nieuweid, is cut off, and must either surrender or be drowned in the Rhine. But it appears from gen. Jourdan's letter to the Directory, that they have effected their passage over that river.
The French are retreating with precipitation to Dusseldorf, and the Austrians are pursuing them thither with equal rapidity. The former are said to have lost no less than forty pieces of artillery in their retreat.

BOSTON August 25.
PEACE.
We have this day given various reports on the subject of peace with the Emperor, via. Baltimore and London, Philadelphia and Bourdeaux, &c. vide Philadelphia head. Whether these are more substantial than translated accounts from Paris papers (latest Paris accounts in America) given and giving in the Argus, the reader will judge. That the French are victorious in every attack, and that the unskilled and unprepared Austrians fly before them in all directions, is fully and officially ascertained—as well as that preliminaries of peace were in agitation—what then can be expected but Peace! We believe that Peace is concluded with the Emperor, and all the continental powers, and that the Lion of Great Britain stands alone to contend with this great and magnanimous nation. who has humbled in the dust several of the tyrants of Europe.
Let the monarchists, aristocrats and Tories of America now hide their heads—while time rolls on, tyrants or aristocrats will never again be cringed to by enlightened men—the scourgers of men of all descriptions will be despised in future; and those who would barter liberty for gold must soon quit the Columbian shores.
(N. Y. Argus.)
COMMOTIONS IN ENGLAND.
An arrival on Tuesday occasioned the circulation of various reports. They are contained in the following.
Extract of a letter from St. Croix, dated August 2d:
"We have received information from England, by a Danish vessel,—from thence, yesterday, 25 days, that a very decisive action had taken place
on the Rhine, and the Austrians completely defeated, and all their artillery, baggage &c. taken; further, that Pitt's house was burnt, and Fox in his place. Time will not admit my giving you particulars, further than that the majority of London, by mobs, &c. insist on peace being immediately made, and which without doubt must be. It is probable you will receive all this and more, before this reaches you and therefore shall not be more particular."
New-York.
NEW-YORK, August 29.
Extract of a letter from capt. James Neill, of the brig Mary Ann, dated Cadiz, July 12, 1796, to his owners in New-York; received per the ship Factor, capt. Kemp, just arrived from thence.
"Thank God, I am here! for I had a very fortunate escape from two Algerines, I fell in with off Cape Palos, coming down from Barcelona. They endeavored to board me, knowing well what I was, by shewing my colors, as also by speaking a Spanish ship, which was the Solou, along with me; but luckily I was near the land and got under one of the towers, and let go my anchor, which protected me. When the Algerines found I was thus situated, they fired a gun to windward and made sail to the westward—I considered it would be imprudent and dangerous immediately to follow them, so I put into the port of Carthagena which detained me six days.
I shall not be surprised to hear in a few days, of many of our vessels being captured and carried into Algiers—There are several of them in the Mediterranean, and our truce expired on the sixth inst. and no hopes of its renewal, or any other favorable circumstance taking place. There is great talk of war commencing between Great Britain and Spain shortly, which I believe will be the case. All English vessels that are in this port at present are ordered to Gibraltar, and they are to sail from thence to-morrow at all events."
Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, August 31.
Paris dates of the 3d of July mention that authentic letters announce a fresh victory gained by Moreau on the right side of the Rhine, and that the Emperor's cuirassiers were almost cut to pieces; that the siege of Mantua was carried on by 60,000 men.—The king of Naples had obtained a cessation of arms on condition of withdrawing his forces, land and naval from the coalition. L'Eclair of the 3d July says, that the French had gained a signal victory, entered Fribourg in Bitgaw; this appears to allude to the victory first mentioned in this paragraph. It was reported that Pichegru had taken part of Moreau's army and was marching to Cufance, to cut off Beaulieu, enter the Tyrolese by the way of Germany, and shake hands with Buonaparte. Moreau in his letter dated Kehl, talks of shaking hands with Buonaparte.
A Munich head of June 26, mentions, that courier from Inspruck brought news of the French having taken Polzen, secured the passage of the Schulz and advanced into the vallies of Frieser and Munster.
A Brussels head of July 1, states the archduke Charles to be near Dusseldorf. The French were in possession of the citadel of Ancona before the 26th of June.
Paris dates of the 5th July, says, we have certainly taken possession of Leghorn, Ancona and Civita Vecchia. It is said, that at Leghorn, we took from the English, shipping, &c. to the amount of 60,000. The ministers of the king of Naples and the pope had arrived at Paris.
The ship Hope of this port is arrived at Cape Nicholas-Mole. On her passage from France, with a cargo of wine and brandy, she was chased by the Tender of the Bull Dog British sloop of war, off Tortola; as the Hope

continued her course, the Tender followed under her quarter, and began a firing of swivels and muskets to compel her to shorten sail; the Hope being armed with two four pounders, which she has carried for several voyages, the captain spoke the cutter, and desired them to desist from firing at an American vessel, and warned them to keep off, which being disregarded, he found it necessary to act on the defensive, and pointing his cannon over the stern, he made so liberal a use of his ammunition, that the Tender's crew struck the British colors and called for quarters, whereupon the Hope's crew gave three cheers, and told them they might depart. At this time the sloop of war had got under way from Tortola and pursued the American ship, but she very fortunately made her escape to St. Thomas.
September 3.
A letter from the Havannah of 10th August says "Capt. Barney with two frigates of forty-four and one of thirty-two guns, anchored at the Ponto the eighth instant from Cape Francois."
On his passage from France he captured fifty-six vessels—five or six of them sailing under certificates of property.—Those he set fire to and has publicly declared he will do so in every instance, which is poor encouragement for Americans to purchase prizes of them. One of them was a brig belonging to P. and T. Mackie, from Malaga, Andrew Paden, master, who was murdered the second day after they failed, by the mate and crew and a considerable sum of money that was on board divided amongst them. These people capt. Barney delivered up to the government of the Cape."
Lexington, September 24.
The Governor of our state having appointed Mr. Robert Johnson and Mr. John Coburn commissioners to ascertain and establish the boundary line between Virginia and this state; those gentlemen have in compliance with the plan marked out by the act of separation, chosen Mr. Buckner Thruston as the third commissioner on the part of this state.
The commissioners from both states have agreed to meet on the first day of October next at the Cumberland gap; on the wilderness road, and proceed from thence to the discharge of the important task assigned them.
WAR
Between England and Spain.
Last night arrived at New-York the ship Factor, Capt. Kemp, in 43 days from Cadiz. By the arrival of the Factor we learn that War has been declared between Spain and England; that the Spaniards were using the greatest exertions to man their navy; that from forty to fifty Spanish vessels of war were lying at Cadiz; that Admiral Richery's fleet was still in port; and that the English fleet, cruising off that harbor, under the command of Admiral Mann, had quitted their station the day the Factor failed, with an intention of putting into Gibraltar.
DIARY.
From Madrid, June 1.
The prince of Peace has declared to Lord Bute, that "If the English government should persist in rejecting all propositions for the conclusion of a general peace, the king of Spain would be obliged, in justification of his cause, to join those to powers who should determine to compel them to it by force of arms."
From Gibraltar, July 12.
Capt. Carter, arrived yesterday, in 45 days from thence, says, there was no authentic information of the Spaniards making preparations for breaking peace with the English. It was however the general opinion among the inhabitants, that they should have a war with Spain before any considerable lapse of time.
Admiral Richery was still at Cadiz where Admiral Mann, who was off Cadiz harbor, seemed determined to keep him.
Mr. Simpson, our Consul at Gibraltar, had his doubt of the safety of Americans navigating the Mediterranean, as the time allowed for the Americans to fulfill the stipulations of the treaty with Algiers, had expired on the seventh of July.
A frigate arrived the day before Capt. Carter failed, from England, with troops, which gave strength to their expectations of a rupture with Spain.

The said deceased has by his last will and testament, subjected his lands to the payment of his debts, and the subscriber will make it the first object of his administration to provide for the same; with as much dispatch as the nature and circumstances of the estate will admit of. And whereas the said John May met with a premature death, by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information perished with him, 'tis probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country; and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentlemen acquainted with the concerns of the deceased, may think proper to make.
I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal my agent in Kentucky to receive and forward all communications in that state, alluded to above.

EPIGRAM.
As Thomas was cudgel'd one day by his wife, He took to the street, and fled for his life, Tom's three dearest friends came by in the squabble, And sav'd him at once from the shrew and the rabble. Then ventur'd to give him some sober advice— But Tom is a person of honour so nice; Too wise to take counsel, too proud to take war- ning. That he sent to all three a challenge next mor- ning. Three duels he fought, thrice ventur'd his life, Went home, and was cudgel'd again by his wife.

When they came to their inn at night, the gentleman called the servant, to know if he had passed off the guinea? Yes sir, says the man, I did it sily. Aye Tom, says the master, I fancy thou art a sly sort of a fellow; but tell me how? Why, sir, says the footman, the people refused it at breakfast, and so they did where your honour dined; but as I had a groat to pay at the turnpike, I whipped it in between the half pence, and the man put it in his pocket and never saw it.
