FROM PARIS PAPERS.
GAZETTE FRANCOISE, July 12. BUONAPARTE, to the EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
Head-quarters, Bologn, July 3.
While a division of the army, citizens directors, occupied Bologn, Ferrara and Fayence, another from Reggio advanced to Pistoja, from whence it threatened to make itself master of Rome by Florence. The grand duke of Tuscany sent to me at Bologn, the Marquis Montfredine, to represent to me, that having refused a passage to the Neapolitans, it would be unjust for us to violate a territory which the coalesced powers had respected. After some conversation, he appeared satisfied with a proposition which I made to him of not passing through Florence; and it was agreed, that that division should March to Rome by Siena.
On the 8th, the division of general Vaubois arrived at Pistoja. On the morrow, the general Murat, at the head of the advanced guard, followed by Vaubois, with the 75th half brigade, passed the Arno at Fuschechia, and the next day suddenly changed their route, and marched rapidly to Leghorn. The rest of the division remained at Pistoja. I sent citizen Narmon, my aid-de-camp, to Florence with the letter, a copy of which I send you; he returned at 8 in the morning, with the answer which is enclosed. I then set out to join the column which was then at the gates of Leghorn. An English frigate went out of the harbor and was fired upon, but we were not in time. A few hours before our arrival, more than forty English vessels, loaded, sailed from Leghorn.
I arrested the Chevalier Spanochi, the Grand Duke's Governor of that city, who had favored the departure of the English, who had endeavored to excite the people against us, representing to them the smallness of our numbers, and who a few hours before had suffered the English frigate to take two French ships under the cannon of his fort. I sent him off to Florence under the guard of his own soldiers. The G. Duke has put him in prison and will punish him severely—That officer is known in Leghorn by his hatred to the French; he has commanded a Neapolitan frigate against us; he is sold to the English—You will find enclosed a copy of my letter, and the Grand Duke's answer.
You will find subjoined hereto the order which I have given to the French Consul, who appears a man of probity, and one in whom confidence can be placed.—He has already placed seals upon the English magazines, and he hopes this capture will be worth seven or eight millions to the Republic.
The consternation at Leghorn was but momentary—the good conduct of the troops hath quieted the inhabitants. I have left there a strong garrison—and General Vaubois to command them with the enclosed instructions.
I left it the following day; I passed through Florence with Berthier and a part of my suite; we were made most perfectly welcome. The Grand Duke gave us a dinner, which I thought proper to accept. They assure me that they have always at Florence disapproved of the conduct of those at Leghorn. The Minister of the Republic at Florence has personally assisted my different operations. The Grand Duke, although solicited on all sides to go away, hath refused to lend an ear to his and our enemies; he has remained firm in his capital, surrounded by our troops, reposing himself on French integrity—this conduct has given him a place in my esteem. The Republic of Lucca have voluntarily furnished me with 6000 fusils of which the army had great need; the campaign having considerably injured our arms.

The citadel of Milan has surrendered to the French arms, fourteen days after the trenches were opened. A letter from Gen. Despinoy informs that he has taken 2800 prisoners, and 200,000 wt. of powder.
The following is a proclamation, signed with Mellor, June 28, at 3 o'clock in the morning, at head-quarters in Milan.
"The citadel of Milan will be given up to the troops of the F. Republic, with its artillery, its provisions, its magazines of all kinds, its military chest and effects, precisely at five o'clock in the morning. As soon as the present capitulation is signed, four companies of French grenadiers will take possession of the gate of Milan, and of the bastions Velasco, Do Pietro and Danigna. The Garrison of the citadel shall march out at the same time at the gate of Milan, and shall file along the glacis of Varulimes, before the French troops, with the honors of war, arms and baggage only. Arrived at Point Nevillis, they shall lay down their arms and surrender prisoners of war. The emigrants and deserters, shall be delivered to the French General. The sick and wounded shall be treated with all the care due to humanity, and to the generous conduct which has ever distinguished the French nation. The garrison shall be furnished with the means of transporting their equipages to the place of their destination. If any disagreement arises in the execution of the above articles, they shall be construed favorable to the French."

LE MIRROIR—13th July.
ARMY OF ITALY.
Head-quarters at Pistoja, June 26. Buonaparte Commander in Chief of the Army of Italy, to his royal highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
The flag of the French Republic is constantly insulted in the port of Leghorn; the property of French merchants is there violated; each day is there marked by some attempt against France, as injurious to her interest as it is contrary to the laws of nations. The Executive Directory have repeatedly laid their complaints before the minister of your royal highness at Paris, who has been obliged to acknowledge, that it was impossible for your highness to repress the English, and to maintain the neutrality of the port of Leghorn. The Executive Directory hath from thence thought it to be their duty to repel force by force, and to make its commerce respected; it hath therefore ordered me to march a division of the army which I command; and to take possession of Leghorn.
I have the honor to inform your royal highness, that on the tenth of this month, June 28, a division of the army will enter Leghorn; it will conduct itself in that city agreeable to those principles of neutrality which we come to maintain. The flag, the garrison and the property of your royal highness and of your people, will be scrupulously respected. I am moreover charged to assure your royal highness of the desire which the French government has of seeing the continuance of that friendship which unites the two states, and as your royal highness has daily witnessed the excesses of the English vessels, without being able to apply any remedy, they are convinced you will applaud the just, necessary and useful measures which the Executive Directory have taken. I am with esteem and respect for your royal highness.
BUONAPARTE.
Head-quarters at Leghorn, 11th Mellidor, June 28.
Buonaparte Commander in Chief, &c. to his Royal highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
Royal Highness,
An hour before we arrived at Leghorn an English frigate carried off two French ships valued at 500,000 livres, — the governor suffered
them to be carried off under the cannon of his fort, which is contrary to the intention of your royal highness and the neutrality of the port of Leghorn. I present this complaint to your royal highness, against this governor, who in all his actions hath shewed his fixed hatred against the French, he endeavored yesterday at the moment of our arrival to raise the people against us, and there is no sort of ill treatment which he hath not attempted against our advanced guard. I should without doubt have been authorized in trying him by martial law, but from respect to your royal highness and from a firm persuasion of the spirit of justice which marks all your actions, I have preferred sending him to Florence, convinced that you will give orders to have him severely punished.
I ought at the same time to make my acknowledgements to your royal highness for your goodness in directing General Storaldo to procure for the army those things which were necessary. He has fulfilled the orders of your royal highness with as much zeal as success.
(Signed) BUONAPARTE.
England.
LONDON, July 12.
Letters were on Friday received in town from Jersey, stating, that that island had been thrown into a considerable degree of alarm in consequence of information received there from St. Maloes, stating that general Hoche, who has been employed for some months past in bringing the war with the Chouans to a conclusion, is now forming a camp of fifteen thousand men in the environs of St. Maloes; and has put every fishing and other small vessel in that port in requisition. An embargo has been laid on all the vessels in that port.
The object of this expedition is avowedly against the island of Jersey; and on Monday last, the governor of that island thought fit to issue a notice stating the intelligence he had received, and cautioning the inhabitants to be on their guard. Orders to the same effect were also given to the military.
American Occurrences.
Massachusetts.
BOSTON, September 5.
From the West Indies.
Arrived on Friday last, the Schooner Lucy, captain Beatley, in thirty days from Guadalupe.
Capt. B's cargo, consisting chiefly of provisions, was purchased by the French commissioners and punctually paid for, as was also all the cargoes that arrived there within his knowledge. In short, the Americans were treated with the utmost justice and friendship by Victor Hughes, and the other officers in Guadalupe.
Capt. B. informs, that an action took place off the bay of Basseterre, 24th July, between a French privateer and an English brig; the Frenchman mounting six four pounders, and carrying twenty-eight men; the brig twelve nines and sixes, and twenty-five men. The action lasted about thirty minutes before the English called for quarters; the captain losing his life after he had struck his colors. The French lost one man—the British had several wounded in boarding, though none killed except the captain.
He further informs, that four days previous to the above, a long and severe engagement happened between an English frigate called the Beaulieu, 44 but carrying 48 guns, and a French frigate carrying 40 guns. The action lasted three hours, or thereabouts, but a 74 coming down, relieved the English, otherwise she must have been carried into Basseterre—the action being fought but two leagues from the bay. The Republicans landed the same day—having about fifty wounded, and nearly the same number killed. Capt. B. saw three men the day after, who had deserted the English man of war; they told him the Bully
had 100 men, as far as they could understand.
September 10.
We stop the press, to notice the arrival here, this morning, of Captain Swaine, 56 days from Bremen. He brought no papers:—However, by the politeness of the Captain, we are enabled to state the following interesting particulars:—That on the 12th July, about a days march from Frankfort, a severe engagement took place between the French and Austrian armies, which ended in the total defeat of the latter, the loss of 12000 killed and taken prisoners, together with their baggage, artillery, &c. That the French immediately pushed on for Frankfort, and it was supposed at Bremen, when Capt. Swaine sailed (July 15) that the French were already in possession of that place. This intelligence arrived by express from the Austrian army, and was confirmed by the Austrian soldiers who had escaped. It appears, that the French effected this defeat by stratagem; having dressed a regiment of their troops in Austrian uniform the evening preceding the battle, they were made to feign an attack on the French, who retreated—the Austrians observing the French falling back, came on with all forces, and when the French had decoyed them far enough to effect their purpose, they turned on them and made a most complete victory.
(Col. Cencinel.)
By the Outram, Capt. Weid, from London, we learn, that on the 21st ult. a brig from Bremen, in 35 days, for Boston, informed, that an action had taken place between the French and Austrians on the Rhine, which terminated in the complete defeat of the latter. Bremen is advantageously situated to obtain early information of events on the Northern theatre of war.
The honorable Mr. Gore, arrived in London, in June—where he is preparing to enter on the duties of his office. The Americans in London, are much pleased with the appointment.
New-York.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 15.
Capt. Mease, of the ship Margaret, of Philadelphia, arrived yesterday from Bordeaux, having carried away her mail on the fifth inst. put in, in distress. Left the city on the twentieth of July, and brings Paris papers to the seventeenth.
Capt. M. informs, that two engagements had taken place on the Rhine about the first of July, in both which the Austrians were defeated.—All the states of Italy had concluded a peace with their conqueror Buonaparte. We are promised some papers, and much pains will be taken to give a general view of the politics on his departure.—Those papers contain official accounts of the surrender of the citadel of Milan, in which two thousand eight hundred prisoners, two hundred and fifty cannon, with large quantities of warlike stores, were taken.
The head-quarters of Gen. Buonaparte, were at Leghorn, tho' 10th Mellidor, (June 28) he had ordered the Consul of the French Republic to put seals, upon all the property belonging to the enemies of the Republic—and had demanded satisfaction for an insult to the French flag, by the British in that port.
An affair took place between Moreau's army and the Austrians Eastward of Offenburg, called Freudenstadt, which place was taken by the French, by a general charge of the bayonet, notwithstanding the previous arrival of an Austrian reinforcement of 15,000 men from the Lower Rhine, 600 prisoners and several pieces of cannon and caissons were taken; the killed and wounded immense. About 300 families had quit Mentz and Frankfort, in expectation of those places becoming the theatre of war, as arch-duke Charles was retreating from the Lower Rhine, towards Mentz, where he expected to establish his head-quarters.

In short, victory continues to be the order of the day in all the French departments.

BALTIMORE, September 14.
We were last evening kindly favored with the following extract of a letter from a respectable House at Gibraltar, dated 24th July 1796.
"Nothing has been done respecting a settlement with the Algerines consequently your vessels will be unsafe to proceed higher than this port or Malaga as they have their cruizers out.
"The French have taken possession of Leghorn, from which city the English have been obliged to retire but we have not yet heard in what state it will remain; however make no doubt but they will retain the same privileges as before, and a certain sum of money by way of contribution will be raised."

IMPORTANT.
We were last evening favored with two Danish American Gazettes, up to the 17th ult, from which we have copied the following interesting news of
WAR WITH SPAIN.
CHRISTIANSTEAD, August 17.
A gentleman at Thomas, writers to his correspondent here, thus, "a vessel in 29 days from England, to St. Kitts, brings an account of a declaration of war against Spain by Great Britain. Thirty sail of valuable ships, part of a fleet of sixty, bound from Surinam to Europe, are taken into Martinique"
By an arrival yest. from Gaudaloupe, we learn, that 24 valuable English ships have been, within these three weeks, carried into that port.
By a vessel from Antigua this morning, we are informed of the arrival of a reinforcement of 7000 troops, at Barbadoes.
Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, September 12.

Lexington, October 15.
We are informed, that at Sheffield in Massachusetts, twenty-five miles Eastward of Kenderhook, a fever rages which carries off numbers; that one of its streets is nearly deserted, and flags erected at the entrance of it; the usual signal in New-England to denote infection to be avoided. Also that by means of a sick person's going from thence and dying at Woodbury, the disorder was communicated, and prevails in Woodbury. N. Y. PAP.

From the ORRERY. TO THE PUBLIC.
WHEN the scale of nations is extended by the accession of another people, propriety and the convenience of intercourse require, that the junior nation should be distinguished by specific and particular appellations.
The United States in America have attracted the attention, and will hold a conspicuous place in the history of mankind; in their revolution they have preferred the world with the volume of freedom, in which the nations are reading the true principles of society.
To such people it seems important to give peculiar appellations, expressive of the union and of the dignity of their republic.
The terms America and American applied to the United States, & their inhabitants, are as indefinite as the immense continent of which the United States are a part—Terms which are equally applicable to the inhabitants of Mexico—of Surinam, as the inhabitants of the United States. To remedy this inconvenience, and to establish distinctions peculiar to the United States, is the object of the plan hereto subjoined.
It is proposed, that the states collectively should take the name of Columbia, or the United States of Columbia, and the inhabitants the name of Columbians.
That Congress should stile itself the Congress of the U. States of Columbia.
That ambassadors to foreign nations be stiled Columbian ambassadors, and directed to give official notice of the national appellations adopted by their country: consuls to be stiled Columbian consuls, and directed to observe the term in their official transactions.
The marine to be called the Columbian navy; the army to be stiled Columbian; and all officers of the United States, civil, military and naval, to be instructed to observe the same.
The colours to be called the Columbian flag or Columbian colours.
The registers of all ships and vessels to issue under the name of Columbian registers, and the collectors directed to indorse the names as speedily as possible on the existing registers.
Certificates of citizenship and naturalization to express the word Columbian.
The laws of the United States to be called the Columbian code.
It is presumed that a nation should be distinguished by its language as well as by its territory. It is therefore proposed that the language of the United States, should henceforth be stiled Columbian or Columbian. The first term will be easier for foreigners; to natives both will be equal.
It is presumed that congress taking up the plan, will be the most effective mode of establishing the wished for distinctions: in the mean time it is respectfully submitted to the citizens at large.
To the universities throughout the Union.
To the reverend clergy of every denomination.
To that truly respectable order of society, the quakers.
It is the peculiar characteristic of republicans to reward living merit, and to cherish the memory of departed worth.
The adoption of the above terms would be a tribute of gratitude and of justice to the great discoverer of our country, the immortal Columbus.
Knowing the important influence which the ladies have in society—the author of the above plan respectfully recommends it to their protection; pleased with the opportunity of thus paying public homage to his lovely country-women.
When an inhabitant of the United States is in Europe, he is introduced as an American; if his introduction is to a Frenchman, he asks if the gentleman comes "del' Amerique Angloise." If the introduction is to a Spaniard he enquires if the gentleman comes "de la America Inglesa."—Thus the epithet English is affixed to the whole territory of the United States.
The author of the above having recently been in Europe, has sensibly felt the inconvenience he describes; he has felt the epithet English a term of reproach, and listened to it with secret indignation.
The northern part of the United States is known by the name of New-England; it is proposed that measures should be taken to banish the term, as it will not accord with the national name. X. X.
