OPERATIONS IN GERMANY.
From General Desfles to the minister at War.
H. Quarters at Memingen, June 8.
"Citizen Minister,
"In my letter of the 4th June I had the honor of giving you an account of the movements of the army up to the 1st.
"On the 2d the army still retained the same positions.
"On the 3d the enemy passed some strong reconnoitering parties to the left of the Iller, and a brisk cannonade took place.
The general in chief gave orders to lieutenant general Lecourbe, who had extended his right to Landsherg and Augsburg, to turn more to his left, in order to approach the army. He assembled a large body of troops on the Vertach, holding Landsherg and Augsburg, with detachments.
"On the 4th, the army retained the same positions—General Grenier, to whom the General in chief has given provisionally the rank of lieutenant general, replaced lieutenant general St. Cyr, who has been obliged to go to the mineral wells for the recovery of his health, in the command of his corps.—General Richepanse took the command of the division, posted on the left of the Iller.
"In the night between the 4th and 5th the generals in chief learned from the reports of spies that the enemy had collected a large force on this side of the Danube, between Illerberg and Wiesenborn, and that a part of that force had passed to the left bank of the Iller. He communicated this information to general Richepanse; ordered general Grenier to support him by the bridge of Kilmenz, and general Lecourbe, to take a position between Guntz and Kamlach, on the road to Babenhausen, in such a manner as to cover the roads from Burgan and Augsburg, and consequently to occupy Mindelheim.
"The corps of reserve as a support on the left, and general Delmas possessing the Guntz, at Babenhausen, marched to support the corps of gen. Grenier, while the general of division Docean, fell back from Oberhausen, to Babenhausen.
"On the 5th our army extended, as I have informed you, from the Iller to the Lech, with a corps on the left of the Iller. Gen. Moreau presuming from the movements of the enemy that they were still inclined to risk a battle, gave orders to Lecourbe to take a point of support for his left, and to concentrate himself between the Guntz and the Kamlach.
"This movement was made by gen. Lecourbe, when gen. Kray attacked with about 40,000 men, the corps on the left of the Iller commanded by Richepanse.
"This general followed exactly the instructions of the general in chief, which was to withdraw on his left to support himself strongly on the right, and only to combat slightly with superior forces until he should be reinforced. At the commencement of the attack his division was cut in three parts merely by the march of the enemy, who advanced in five columns. All the intrepidity of our troops was necessary to enable them to resist a force so disproportioned to theirs.
"While this division was engaged on the centre, the brigade on the right commanded by Gen. Sabue was briskly attacked in its positions, which were defended only by the 8th demi-brigade, the 1st regiment of chasseurs, and the 7th of cavalry. The General in Chief then ordered Grenier, whose corps was posted from Illereheim to Oberott to send assistance to Sabue. Gen. Ney, therefore debouched by the brigade of Kilmenz, and joining the troops of general Sabue, drove the enemy to Dichtenheim.
"We had scarcely entered this village when a strong column advanced, with 8 pieces of cannon, on Kirberg, in which there were two battalions of the 76th, forming a part of General Ney's brigade, but they could not maintain themselves. It was absolutely necessary to repulse the enemy, who were in front of the bridge of Kilmenz; Lieut. gen. Grenier therefore ordered Gen. Ney to make a counter-march and to attack Kirberg.
"This General marched thither with the brigade of Gen. Brunet, and displayed
the vigour which characterizes him. A battalion of the 48th, which formed the head of the column, ascended the flat-topped hill with their arms in their hands, and did not return a single shot to a brisk fire of musketry and artillery from the enemy. This impetuous attack, supported by the 8th regiment of chasseurs, and the 54th demi-brigade, overpowered the enemy who, pent up in a road, through a wood scarcely passable, left in our hands on this point above 1200 prisoners, their artillery, and their caissons.
"General Richepanse, who had still obstinately defended the positions of Guttenszell and Beuren with two battalions of the 7th, one of the 48th, the 5th Hussars, 10th cavalry, and part of the 13th Dragons, now resumed the offensive. He charged the Austrians, and on his side made about 7 or 800 prisoners, among whom was lieutenant Gen. Count Spork, whom some hussars took at the distance of only 30 paces from his column.
"The result of this day's operations in which only two French divisions have fought and repulsed the whole Austrian army, is about 2000 prisoners, and eight pieces of cannon, with their waggons &c. During the night, the enemy retreated to the Danube with so much precipitation, that they have cut down several bridges they had formed over that river.
"DESOLLE."
According to letters from Augsburg a suspension of arms has been granted, to the Elector of Bavaria, by General Moreau.
This morning we received by express, Paris journals to the 22d inst. The intelligence they contain is most important and momentous.
The operations of the French army of Reserve exhibit an uninterrupted series of victories; and from the following Bulletins it appears, that the campaign in Italy is already terminated by the total defeat of the Austrian army.
An expedition of great magnitude is now preparing in our port. Every soldier that can be spared, and every ship that can be sent to sea will be employed. A train of battering cannon will accompany the expedition. The absence of all the French forces from the coasts nearest this kingdom, renders the present a most fit moment.
The whole expedition is expected to be ready on the 15th of July.
TELEGRAPHIC BULLETIN.
Paris 2d. Messidor—June 21.
"The first consul has obtained a complete victory on the 29th Prairial, June 18. Eight thousand Austrians and forty pieces of cannon, were taken by the French army. Six thousand dead belonging to the vanquished remain on the field of battle.
"The enemy capitulates for the restoration of Genoa, and the fortresses of Italy and Lombardy.
June 25.
We yesterday received Paris papers to the 21st inclusive. Their contents are of extreme importance.
We can state that letters have been received from Calais, by mercantile houses in the city, which confirm these accounts, in the fullest extent. It is said that Alessandria, Tortona, Turin, and Pizzighitone, are in the hands of the enemy, and that Genoa is again to be given up. It is even said, that an armistice, for an indefinite time has been concluded in Italy. This intelligence to be sure depends upon Telegraphic communications too, received by letters and manuscript copies but notwithstanding all these reasons to distrust the truth of the intelligence, we believe very little doubt is entertained respecting it. We indeed consider it in substance as true, because we think it extremely probable. If our readers recollect the view we have given of the campaign, founded upon accurate enquiry and mature reflection, they will be at no loss to perceive the grounds on which the opinion is founded.
It will be seen from the official bulletins of the army of reserve previous to this decisive action, that the French had gained considerable advantages. From the position of Stradella, where their principal force was to be concentrated, the army moved forward as predicted, in the determination to leave Gen. Melas as little time as possible to concentrate his forces. Upon the 9th of June, before the
army was assembled, Buonaparte and Berthier sent Gen. Lannes with a strong corps by the great road leading from Stradella to Piedmont by Bruni, to attack gen. Ott, who, after having left a garrison in Genoa, had proceeded by forced marches to Voghera, in order to attempt to re-establish the communication with Piacentia.
After a severe engagement, the Austrians were beaten with great loss, not less, it is stated, than 6000 prisoners, and above 3000 killed and wounded. After this important success, the French having still farther concentrated their forces, particularly those from Switzerland, which had not previously been in action; were in a situation to advance in great strength. Indeed the battle of the 9th was maintained by only three divisions of the French army, those of Lannes, Victor and Chamberlach—at least no more are mentioned.
After the 9th, the situation of the Imperialists was this; Gen. Melas had evacuated Turin, leaving 8000 men in the citadel proceeded towards Alexandria. Turin was immediately occupied by part of the army of reserve that had been left in the valley of Aoste, and by the corps of Gen. Turrean, who had advanced on the side of Suza. These corps united would form a considerable force. Gen. Suchet, or rather the indefatigable Massena, having taken the command of the army, formed by the garrison of Genoa, though certainly not very fit for service, and the centre of that army, advanced towards Safeilo and Arqui. There are accounts that this part of the army had reached Milefimo and St. Jacques. They would then advance to the direction we have mentioned, and according to the orders of Buonaparte, towards Piedmont, harassing the Austrians, and in fact cutting off their retreat by the Genoese. The army of reserve advancing by Voghera, then towards Tortona, the Austrians were defeated at Maringo, which is between Alessandria and Tortona, and within a few miles of the former, they are absolutely in the power of the enemy. We can scarcely be surprised then if the consequences of this victory were as decisive as the French represent. It is little to say that in about a month Buonaparte has reconquered Italy, and annihilated the proudlest of the Austrian armies. He has in fact decided the fate of the war. There is nothing in history superior, if at all comparable to this extraordinary campaign.
It appears that Buonaparte has availed himself of his success to send the Emperor an overture of peace along with the utter and irretrievable ruin of his army! Conceiveth the dismay of the cabinet of Vienna. But a few days ago elated with success, they thought their conquests in Italy secured, when the first news of a rival in that quarter is accompanied with the intelligence of the entire defeat of his army! the loss of the whole country, and the capture of every strong town! It must be a humiliating occasion, to enter on negotiation. Perhaps, however, there is no alternative. The star of the house of Austria is eclipsed before the genius of Buonaparte. It is the general opinion that the Emperor must make the best peace he can.
The affairs of the emperor are indeed in the most disastrous posture. In Suabia, though Moreau has so long detached a very strong body of men to the aid of the Chief Consul, he has retained an entire superiority over Kray; he has manoeuvred in every direction; kept the Austrians on the alert, and beat them in every encounter. He seems, indeed, to have entirely out general'd Kray, and disheartened the Austrian army. He has never made a feint that has not deceived, nor an attack that has not succeeded.—The advance to Augsburg was merely intended to amuse the Austrians. As soon as Moreau was informed of the success of Buonaparte, he concentrated his force, and again indicated a design to stretch off towards the Tyrol, to connect more nearly his operations with those of the division of the army of Reserve in the Valteline, and Brescian, &c. If, as is very probable, he gets any reinforcements, now that Buonaparte can dispense with them, General Kray is very likely to suffer a more decisive defeat than he has yet experienced. The conduct of Buonaparte and Moreau shews how finely military operations are managed in concert at a distance, and on
a great scale, and with as much precision as the evolution of the two wings of the same army.
If the Austrians have the means of reinforcing their armies and averting the dangers with which they are threatened, they have not a moment to lose. We have long been told that Kray was to be reinforced, but more than six weeks had elapsed, while the enemy have been weakened by detachments, but still he is beaten. We suspect indeed that many of the Austrian troops exist only on paper, a circumstance that renders their situation more disastrous. The force of the enemy is, daily developing itself, theirs is destroyed and the character of the Austrian government leaves little hope from an extraordinary effort and prompt display of vigour, they are inferior to their antagonists in all sorts of force and talents.
The accounts from the Continent state, that the Austrians calculated upon the assistance of the British forces that have been sent to the Mediterranean. It is extremely probable indeed that Genoa will be garrisoned by British troops, if they arrive before it is retaken by the enemy, an event by no means improbable. Savona is said to be already retaken. More forces, it is believed, are still going to the Mediterranean; at least farther embarkations are going on.
The French Papers contain very little intelligence respecting the expedition. It is reported that our troops are encamped on the little Island of Hourat, and that it is expected that Belle Isle will be besieged.

PARIS, June 14.
AFFAIRS IN EGYPT.
The successes of Kleber increased the number of his friends in Egypt—and the Turkish Empire throughout, is shaken by intestine commotion.
The disaffection excited among the people of Egypt previous to the renewal of the war in that country, towards the Ottoman government, by the enormities committed through its troops, had extended to the chiefs, from an account that the Porte had appointed five Pashas to govern Egypt, instead of the Bays, who, encouraged by the defeat and dispersion of the Turkish army, are said, together with the Mamelukes and Arabs, to have joined their fortune with the French. This intelligence, which is fully credited at Constantinople has excited the most lively distress amongst the well disposed part of the people; whilst the rabble talk, by joining the tribes of freebooters, who ravage to the gates the city, of partaking of general plunder.

Bulletin of the Army of Reserve.
STANDELLA, 12 Prairial, June 10.
On the 20th, (June 9.) the Chief Consul left Milan, proceeding to Pavia, he stopped there only one hour, mounted his horse and passed the Po, in order to join the advanced guard, already engaged with the enemy. Gen. Ott had arrived from Genoa at Voghera, with a corps of 15,000 men, intended by gen. Melas to defend the passage of the Po.—The advanced guard of this army and that of the army of Reserve met about noon. The enemy occupied the heights in front of Carteggin. The battle lasted all day with the utmost obstinacy. Gen. Victor led on a charge of Chamberlach's. The 69th by a charge with the bayonet, decided the victory still uncertain. The enemy left three thousand killed or wounded, and five pieces of cannon. The route was complete.—The 12th hussars covered itself with glory. We had 600 killed or wounded. It appears that gen. Melas had evacuated Turin, and concentrated his forces at Alexandria. The enemy were pursued beyond Montebello. Gen. Watrin displayed ability and an enthusiasm which enflames the troops. The battle of Montebello has struck dismay and consternation into the partisans of Austria. They see that the events which impend, have not for their object the preservation of Italy, but the retreat of the Austrian army. The enemy had a general killed, and several generals wounded. The general in chief Massena must have joined gen. Souche t., arrived at Onegille on the 16th, (June 5) and is immediately to debouche into Piedmont.

Germany.
VIENNA, May 23.
The intelligence received here by the last post, that in the neighborhood of Sylo- na a Turkish prince had risen against the Grand Seignor, is confirmed from every quarter. The fact is related in the last accounts. The prince had joined the rebel Pacha of Widden, Pallawan Oglo, with a corps of 16,000 men, conjointly with whom he is said to have taken the towns of Adrianople, Sophia, Philopopo. On that occasion, several severe engagements were against the Seignior's forces—The grand Seignor, under the promise of great rewards, has ordered the Pacha of Belgrade, and others, to march with all their forces against the rebels, and to make themselves masters of their persons.
Our expectation is raised to see in what manner the Porte will extricate itself from this critical situation, the more so, as it is said the two rebels act under the influence of some foreign power.
STRASBURG, June 16.
The Austrian cavalry have taken several towns in the Brisgaw, in the rear of gen. Moreau's army.

Petiet, Counsellor of State, to the Consuls.
MILAN, 21 Prairial—June 9.
The first Consul writes me to day from Broni, the following letter:
"We had yesterday a very brilliant affair. Without exaggeration the enemy had 1500 men killed and twice as many wounded. We have made 4000 prisoners, and taken 5 pieces of cannon. It is the corps of Lieut. Gen. Ott, which came from Genoa by forced marches; he wished to open a communication with Plaisance.
"As I have not time to dispatch a messenger to Paris, I request you will send this news by a courier extraordinary.
"The army continues its march for Tortona and Alessandria.
"The division of the army of the Rhine is entirely arrived; a part of it is already beyond the Po."
Health and respect, Signed, PETIET.

BERLIN, May 10.
It is now positively ascertained, that the alliance which is negotiating with Russia will be only a simple defensive alliance, the object of which will be the preservation of each other's possessions in Europe. It is also known that the two powers stipulate in case of attack, to assist each other with 12,000 men, of which 10,000 will be infantry, and 2000 cavalry.

BOSTON, August 6.
Yesterday arrived here, ship Five Brothers, captain Phillips, from London—by which we have regular files of London papers to June 24, fourteen days later than before received.
The intelligence is highly interesting. The French armies under generals Berthier, Murat, Turreau, Moncey and Souche, superintended by generalissimo Buonaparte, are pouring with the rapidity of the Rhone, over the whole north of Italy. The points of their progress, at the last dates, were Brescia, the vicinity of Alessandria, Turin, and Savona—while the Austrian forces under Melas, are between Turin and Genoa—and under Ott between Alessandria and Tortona. A new army of reserve of 50,000, under general Brune, has marched from Dijon—while, on the other hand, the German war councils are exerting every nerve to reinforce their armies.
In Germany the French head-quarters were at Memmingen; though Moreau had extended his van into Bavaria; to whose elector, it is however said, he has granted a suspension of arms.
Genoa actually surrendered to general Ott, the 7th June—it capitulated at the moment when the French were preparing to attack the besiegers: and on the day general Ott had orders to raise the siege.
The talk of peace continued at the last dates. The cabinet of Vienna, it is said, expressed a willingness to listen to Buonaparte's repeated overtures; and the French Premier is said to have suspended his career of victory to give time for an explicit answer.
The English fleet, under lord St. Vincent, were off Uliant, June 12th—at
which time the combined fleets were snug in Brest waters.
A very important expedition was preparing in England.
We do not learn a word further respecting our negotiation at Paris.
From Gen. Berthier to Gen. Buonaparte. H. Q. Bronni, June 9.
"I have the honor to inform you that having learned that gen. Ott had left Genoa with thirty battalions, and that he was arrived at Voghera. I ordered gen. Lannes to quit the position of Bronni, to attack the enemy at that point where he should meet him, and gen. Victor to support him with his corps.
"Gen. Watrin met the first posts of the enemy at San Diletto; the principal force of the enemy occupied Casteggio, and the heights on the right having much artillery in their positions, presenting a force of about 15,000 men. The 28th demi brigade, the 6th, 22d and 40th, having repulsed the enemy's advanced guard, attacked his line in front, for the purpose of turning his right; the enemy obstinately maintained his position; never was there a more animated fire kept up; the corps mutually charged each other repeatedly; a battalion of the 40th who gave way, gave some advantage to the enemy; then gen. Victor made the division of Champerlac advance; the 24th attacked the left of the enemy; the 43d, where gen. Victor was, turned the heights of the left, while the 96th pierced his centre, which it overthrew and decided the victory. The village of Casteggio was taken and retaken several times, as well as many other positions. The brave 12th regiment of hussars, who contended alone against the cavalry of the enemy, has performed wonders. The enemy was pursued to near Voghera.
"The result of this day gave us 6000 prisoners and 5 pieces of cannon, with their caissons. The enemy had more than 3000 men killed or wounded; we have had about 500, among whom are the chief of the 22d light demi-brigade, and my aid-de-camp Laborde, slightly wounded on the head.

MR. BRADFORD.
Sir,
Having seen a resolution of the legislature of the state of Georgia respecting, the viewing and marking out a road from that state to Tennessee state, as also judge Gains letter to the Governor of Tennessee on that subject; and it appearing to be of great public advantage to the citizens of Kentucky, to aid in encouraging a road being cut out from this state to meet theirs in Tennessee, induces me to observe to you, that I have travelled the rout from South-Well-Point, the junction of Clinch river with the Tennessee river, to Price's settlements on Cumberland; and, I do not believe that the distance exceeds ninety miles, that being the point or nearly so, that it is expected the said road through from Georgia will cross the Tennessee river: from my own knowledge of the country, together with information recieved from others, I have good reasons to believe that there may be a way marked out and a road made, so that a common team would with ease carry a ton weight, over any part of it; and from Danville I think it is most probable, that the best and most convenient rout would be by way of col, Shelby's and from thence up the salt Siver waters; I shall only observe, that I trust the executive will see the propriety of sending one or more commissioners, to confer with those sent from the other two states, on the subject of opening a communication, and laying out a road the nearest and most convenient rout through said states, to the state of Kentucky. Judging from the best information that I have been able to obtain, I have reason to believe that the road from Georgia to Tennessee, may be made equal if not superior to the road from Baltimore to Fort Pitt; therefore, I hope it will be found to be the interest of the good citizens of Kentucky, to encourage the opening of the same.
I am in haste with respect your humble servant THOS. HOPKINS. MR. JOHN BRADFORD.

faction for the event which has happened to the regiment of Cassal.
Answer. This affair will be properly noticed.

MILAN, 5 Messidor, [June 2.]
On the 3d inst. the English held a grand council, and as their last efforts endeavored to bribe several Austrian officers and inhabitants of Genoa, with their gold, which as usual they distributed profusely but they will soon be convinced of their weakness.
Willet was for keeping possession of the city, he proposed to take the command of it; but Willet commands only adventurers.
The Spanish ambassador, seeing into all three transactions thought proper to retire to the French camp at the bridge of Cornegliano, where he passed the night.
At night Willet Affarato and the duke D'Aosto went on board, and the English, angry at the Austrians, weighed anchor and departed.
Gen. Suchet has made a second convention with gen. Hohenzollern by which the city of Genoa was to be put into the hands of the French troops on the 5th Messidor, at day-break.
MILAN, June 17.
The bulletin of the army of reserve, June 25, treating of gen. Berthier in the eventful battle of Merengo "the gen. in chief had his cloaths pierced like a sieve with balls." When the death of Dessaix was communicated to Buonaparte, in the midst of a most furious fire, the following words were all that escaped from him:—"Why is it not permitted me to weep."
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 20.
We have at last received the details of the unfortunate affair of the grand Vizier. The instructions of vice admiral Keith, although they thwarted the execution of the convention, did not entirely put a stop to further negotiation. The commander in chief of the Turks, and gen. Kleber appeared to agree, and in the expectation that the court of London adopt its first determination, they had already concerted some provisional measures, but a difficulty occurred which put a stop to their advancements. The grand Vizier, already master of Jalaha, Catieba; Belbeis and Damietta, part of the Delta and of High Egypt, which had been evacuated in consequence of the convention, demanded also the possession of the fort of Cairo. Gen. Kleber, unwilling to surrender the only fortified place he held besides Alexandria, determined on renewing hostilities; he signalized his intention to the grand Vizier, and to his army by the following letter:
H. Q. Cairo, 27 Ventose, (March 17.) Kleber, commander in chief, to the army.
SOLDIERS,
Here follows the letter directed to me, by the commander in chief, of the British fleet in the Mediterranean.
"On board his Britannic Majesty's ship Queen Charlotte, January 8, 1800.
SIR, I give you notice that I have received

his majesty's positive orders not to consent to any capitulation with the army you command in Egypt and Syria, unless they lay down their arms, surrender as prisoners of war, and abandon all the shipping and warlike stores in the city of Alexandria to the allied powers. That in case of a capitulation, I shall not permit any troops to return to France previous to their being exchanged. I also think it equally necessary to inform you that all vessels having French troops on board and sailing from this country with passports signed by any other than those who have the right to grant them, shall be obliged by the officers of the ships, under my command, and remain at Alexandria.

On the 20th March at day break, the republican troops commenced a cannonade against the advanced posts of the Turks at Matruh (2 leagues from Cairo) at 8 o'clock, the grand Vizier appeared with his army and occupied the ground between the villages of El Hanea and Matruh. The French army 15000 men strong, including the cavalry and Dromedaries, was posted in two lines extending within half a league of Boulac, having its right covered by a wood of Date Trees. The Turkish cavalry first made some partial attacks, but with no effect. The Janissaries opposed to the French left wing advanced with considerable bravery, but being soon out of ammunition and badly supported by their artillery they were forced to fall back.
Towards noon the whole republican line advanced with a terrible fire of artillery and small arms—this rough attack spread confusion and disorder among the Turks, and 40,000 men fled in every direction. The Grand Vizier not having it in his power to stop them, he retired to his camp, but was soon obliged to abandon it, the French having advanced in two oblique lines to cut off his retreat. The rout became general, 19 pieces of cannon and a part of the camp fell in the hands of the conquerors, whose loss was very trivial. That of the Turks amount to 8,000 killed or wounded, besides those who perished in the desert. At the commencement of the action, Nazouf Pacha and Murad Bey passed by the rear of the republicans with a few thousand men & penetrated by Boulac to Cairo, where they massacred some Frenchmen and the Grecians and Copts. They would not have maintained themselves in that place, if Kleber, willing to save it, had not been satisfied with surrounding it. We have reason to believe that new negotiations will revive the convention as we are assured England has ratified it.
LONDON, July 5. A Bulletin we understand has been received in town which mentions the return of the Chief Consul to Paris—The Bulletin contains no accident of the answer of the Austrian Cabinet—No Paris papers have arrived.

The Consuls Lebrun and Cambaceres, to general Buonaparte Chief Consul of the Republic. CITIZEN CHIEF CONSUL, With the transports of general exultation, the conservative senate, and the tribunate have mingled their satisfaction. We have sent you the messages they have addressed to us. It is for you who guide the reins of the nation, and who are the witness as well as judge of the exploits of that invincible army, who so intrepidly executed the projects which you had so boldly conceived, to act towards those your gallant troops as the interpreter of public gratitude. We have directed the minister of war to transmit the same messages to the generals in chief of the other armies. Accept, &c. CAMBACERES & LEBRUN.
BALTIMORE, August 21. A gentleman came passenger in the brig Amazon, which arrived at New-York, on Sunday last from St. Sebastians, has bro't Paris papers to July 5th, four days before this gentleman left St. Sebastians, he received two letters from Bourdeaux, dated the 1st of July mentioning the receipt of several letters from Paris to the following purport: "That a suspension of the Negotiation between our Commissioners and those of France, had actually taken place—in consequence of the French refusing to indemnify us for the vessels captured, unless we would agree to renew the treaty of 1778, or make one similar to it." The papers received by this gentleman, contain the latest news that has been received from Europe. They announce the arrival of Buonaparte at Paris, after completely reconquering Italy. They announce the surrender of Genoa to the French again on the 24th June—the restitution of the cannon, ammunition and vessels taken by the English and, their departure from the port. They also announce another bloody battle in Egypt, in which Kleber entirely destroyed the Turkish army. They announce a great victory obtained on the Rhine by the French. They announce articles of armistice between Melas and Buonaparte—a variety of other important intelligence which we shall continue to detail.

Just received from Lee & Co's. Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, and for sale by MACLEAN & POYZER, at the Store formerly occupied by Mr. Robert Barr, Lexington, the following Valuable
MEDICINES: HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from Toxins or obstruction in the stomach and bowels. A peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution: contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known. Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Pares or large round worm, the Acarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the Tænia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fecid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excellent thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described. Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES, SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS. MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wilkes street, Fell's Point, city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed, but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms; they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery—The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long.
in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins, of a flaky matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good share of health, which they still enjoy, though some months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable. Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS, For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent fevers. Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injures the constitution exceedingly, and brings on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but being a very nauseous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently lost for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH, Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE. For the prevention and cure of Billious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS, Which have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretion—to restore and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colics, which are often of fatal consequence—A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance—They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—lowness at the stomach and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD, For the cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swellings, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, For the cure of a Certain Disease.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the unskillful or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lyings in, &c.
THE DAMASK LIP-SALVE, An elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color, and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS. This excellent preparation combs and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE & GENUINE GERMAN CORN-PLAISTER, An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER, A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheume, dulness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles, and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS, The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR, For the cure of every kind of Head Ache, &c. &c.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE STREAMLET.
A SONNET.
Gentle Stream, thy constant motion Is the emblem of my mind: Thou dost seek thy parent ocean; I my own true love would find. Day and night thy meek complainings Swell the ambient perfum'd air; Morn and eve my tender wailings, Moan my ANNA, chaste and fair. Pure as christal is thy water; I can boast a heart as true; ANNA, beauty's fairest daughter, It doth beat alone for you. Vainly warring winds howl o'er thee, Still thy current peaceful flows; Vainly fortune may assail me, I defy her threaten'd woes. When upon this green bank straying, In the flood her form would shine: And, though absent, still she's playing, In this love-sick heart of mine. Thou concealest no yawning cavern, I ne'er play'd deceptions part, I thy pebbly bed can discern, Love may read my constant heart.

It appearing to the satisfaction of the court that the defendants William Ward, William Wood and Simon Kenton, are not inhabitants of this commonwealth—on the motion of the complainant, by his attorney, it is ordered, that they appear here on the third day of our next November term, and answer the complainant's bill; and that a copy of this order be published for two months successively in the Kentucky Gazette, another posted at the door of the court house in Mason county, and that this order be published some Sunday immediately after divine service, at the door of the Baptist meetinghouse in Washington.

I GIVE notice to gentlemen who have been customers to my horse BLAZE, and those who wish to breed from him, that I mean to move him from this state next season, unless they will come forward and enter their mares to the amount of 150, at 5l. payable on or before Christmas in whiskey delivered in Lexington at market price, or Flour delivered in Frankfort at market price, or more for twelve dollars for the season, or seven the single leap, paid at Christmas 1801—I find money very scarce and difficult to collect, is the reason I wish to move him, the indulgence I have given has caused me to suffer much for money. August 23, 1800. Benj. Wbarton.
