FOR THE GAZETTE.
MR. MELCHER, You will please to publish the enclosed in your next paper, the minds of the people are changed, your attention will oblige many friends to the Gazette.
THE CAUCUS CHANGED.
THE PEOPLE WILL RULE.
CITIZENS, WHEN we see a number of our federal Representatives resigning their offices without just reason, we are led to conclude all is not well; we ought therefore to cast about in our minds for the firmest and best men to fill those important stations. The editors of our papers have fitted a list of candidates against each other, and have ordered us (the people) to take our sides, under pain of their displeasure. We mean to let them and the world know, that we are independent and free; though the contending lists hold to our view men respectable for their talents, yet we recognize in the person of Col. OLIVER WHIPPLE, of Hampton, abilities not inferior to any one of the candidates. In things pertaining to law and legislation, his knowledge of American and European politics, his science in, and attachment to the agricultural interest of our country, joined to the soundest federalism, render him the preferative candidate; we have viewed his conduct for these five years past in our State Legislature, and have found him judicious and consistent, and he has always been esteemed faithful in his profession and undertakings; and we do not hesitate to pronounce him the People's Friend, and the man of our choice.
THE PEOPLE. New-Hampshire, August 16, 1800. We want of room at the late moment the above communication came to hand compelled the Editor to defer publishing the same in the last Gazette—he hopes in future his correspondents will be kind enough to pay the postage of their communications.
From the Massachusetts Mercury.
On the late division of Parties.
IT is to be regretted, that parties are inseparable from all free governments—but, like all human enjoyments, Liberty must have its alloy. Licentiousness, says the elegant CHESTERFIELD, is the alloy of Liberty. Naturally there can be but two parties in a Country; the friends of order and its foes. Under the banners of the first are ranged all men of property, all quiet, honest, peaceable, orderly, unambitious, disaffected, morose men. It signifies nothing by what names these parties are distinguished; their animosity does not arise from the acrimony and abuse with which they assail each other, as some moderate men conceive, but from the discordant, opposite, irreconcilable nature of their objects. The wiser the government, the more pure its measures, the more severe will be the calumny of its enemies, because it will require more abuse to destroy its influence and to render it odious, which is the constant wish of its opposers. Unhappily the importance of the election of President may hereafter lay the foundation for new divisions. While Washington lived he had no rival, and therefore the election brought with it no evils. When he retired, there sprang up, and there must forever exist, dissensions of various kinds and arising from various causes. Northern and Southern prejudices will always operate—and personal enmities and partialities, will have great weight. At the present juncture, a division of a serious and alarming nature appears to threaten our very existence. Some old, distinguished, uniform and inflexible friends of the government, who have never deserted us in any times, have entertained the opinion, that the Federal cause is in great danger. They observe, that at the last choice we succeeded by the majority of one only—that we then had all New-York, being 12 votes, and that we shall lose all the New-York votes at the ensuing choice. They say, that there is no certainty of our gaining any votes to
supply this great loss. Accordingly all the federal members of Congress, except one, agreed that Mr. Adams should be supported with their influence as the President, and Gen. C. C. Pinckney, of Carolina, as Vice President; hoping by this measure to unite most sincerely, the weight of all the northern and southern Federalists. Some zealots here, who declare themselves the friends of Mr. Adams, are for breaking through this honorable, equitable and prudent compact, and say, that though the election of Mr. Adams is very uncertain, yet we ought to hazard every thing to secure his election, and not to run Mr. Pinckney or any other person fairly with him. If these people should succeed in exciting these local feelings to the exclusion of Mr. Pinckney as Vice President, the whole election will be lost, and Jefferson and Burr will be the rulers of our Nation. There will be time enough between our choice of electors on the 13th of November, and the choice of President on the first Monday in December, to have the result known in Carolina, and if such men should be chosen here as will act so perfidious a part as to drop Mr. Pinckney to secure the election of Mr. Adams, it is almost certain, that resentment and just pride will induce the Carolinians, to drop Mr. Adams. This will also operate in every state which does not feel a strong personal attachment to Mr. Adams.
That the people may judge whether it is not the design of some zealous partisans here, to excite the passions unduly in a question which ought to be decided only by reason, and cool and calm reflection, I would only ask them, to consider, whether it is not alarming to hear some federalists in federal papers, assuming the very abusive language of our deadly opposition, calling Gen. Hamilton, the friend and counsellor of Washington a friend to Royalty, and Mr. Ames, Mr. Goodhue, and hundreds of other old experienced tried friends of the Constitution, who contributed so largely to its adoption and ever since to its support, a British Faction. These things indicate a bad spirit—unless they are abandoned we are ruined and destroyed and our common enemy will triumph over us. Why was the Federal Constitution so very guarded in the election of President? Was it not to avoid cabals? Can there be a more open departure from the Constitution than to throw away votes upon men who cannot be chosen, to secure the election of a favorite? Suppose the whole Federal votes to be so, which they may be if well conducted. If the Southern States should vote for Pinckney President, and Rutledge or Harper, Vice President, and the Northern vote for Adams President, and Ellsworth Vice President, is it not manifest that neither will have more than 50? The Jacobins will vote one and all for Jefferson and Burr. Which party will succeed upon this plan? I love the man but I love the cause better. "It is a Government of Laws and not of Men."
AN UNIFORM FEDERALIST.
COMMUNICATION.
The division among the Federalists is attributable to the self-sufficiency, obstinacy, and persecuting spirit of a few—very few. Because these few dislike some of the recent measures of the President—because these measures did not comport with their views; were not such as they would have dictated—they enlist themselves with his calumniators—they apply abusive terms to him—they, in this respect, become the associates of Jacobins. They say the President, who possesses the best intelligence, is proud and pernicious—in what have they proved themselves meek and candid, though merely possessed of the information of private citizens. The great body of Federalists can find no sufficient reason for deserting Mr. Adams. Their confidence in him is undiminished. If at any time they, for an instant, doubted the expediency of any measure, properly confiding in his patriotism, talents, integrity and superior information, and knowing how extremely limited their knowledge was, they did not suffer those doubts to rest upon their minds. The mission to the French
Republic is censured; but we should rather question the sagacity of those who censure it, than concur with them in opinion. The mission was necessary; and what is more to an American Politician—the people expected it, wished for it, and would not have been satisfied of the faithfulness and pacific disposition of their rulers, if it had not been directed. The mass of Federalists have no objection to Mr. Pinckney. If Mr. Adams had retired from office, they might concur in promoting his election. But as he is now proposed to be run with Mr. A. as V. P. an alarm is excited, because it is known that some of those who propose him, are unfriendly to Mr. A. and it has been rumoured, have said, that by having him voted for with, and obtaining the votes of those Electors favourable to Mr. A. and by getting one vote for him as V. P. in his own State, from some Elector, who might prefer Mr. Jefferson for the first office, would have a greater majority than Mr. A. and be introduced to the Presidential Chair. But for apprehensions that a scheme of this kind existed, the Federalists would never have objected so strongly as they have against Mr. P's being voted for. If a Candidate could be found who, if thus elected by chance, would resign, he might be voted for with the present Chief Magistrate. But this would not be the most pleasing way of continuing Mr. Adams. If the votes are scattered, it is known there will be either a Jacobin President or Vice President. But if the Federal votes were given for Mr. Adams and Judge Washington, the Southern Federalists would be complimented—the Northern Federalists perhaps might not be alarmed; and the re-election of that profound independent Statesman, the present President secured.
COW-POX,
Or KINE pox from kine the plural of cow.
We mentioned in one of our late papers that Dr. WATERHOUSE, Professor of the theory and practice of Physic at Cambridge, had inoculated one of his children with the matter of the Cow pox; we have now the satisfaction to inform our readers that two more of the Doctor's children have gone through the disorder in a very perfect and satisfactory manner, they being inoculated from the pustules of the first, and that three more of the family are now under inoculation, following their business as usual. As this mild disease bids fair to exterminate the small-pox (for about thirty thousand of all ages have been inoculated with it in England) we presume that the republication of the Dr's. first communication to us will be a gratification to our readers. (Centinel.)
Something Curious in the MEDICAL LINE.
EVERY body has heard of those distempers accompanied with pocks or pustules, called the small pox, the chicken pox and the swine pox, but few ever heard of the Cow pox, or if you like the term better, the Cow small pox; or to express it in technical language, the variola vaccine. There is, however, such a disease, which has been noticed here and there in several parts of England, more particularly in Gloucestershire for fifty or sixty years past, but has never been an object of medical inquiry until very lately.
This variola vaccine or cow pox, is very readily communicated to those who milk cows infected with it. This malady appears first on the teats of the cows in the form of irregular pustules or pocks. They are commonly of a palish blue, somewhat approaching to livid, and surrounded by an erysipelas inflammation, resembling the St. Anthony's fire. These pustules, unless timely remedied, degenerate into those ragged ulcers known by the surgeons under the name of phagedenic. The cows become sick, and the secretion of milk is lessened, but I never heard of one dying with it. Those who milk cows thus affected, seldom or ever fail catching the distemper, if there be cracks, wounds, or abrasions in the hands. That is to say, they are inoculated. When infected, there appear on different parts of the hands and wrists, inflamed spots, having the appearance of blisters, produced by burns. These run quickly on to suppuratation. These superficial suppurations have a circular form with their
edge more elevated than their centre, very much resembling a certain stage of the small-pox. These depressed pustules or pocks are of a colour approaching to blue. Absorption now takes place, and a soreness and sometimes a tumor appear in the arm-pits. Then the arterial system becomes affected; the pulse is quickened, and shivering with a general lassitude and pains in the back and limbs supervene, and these symptoms are not unfrequently accompanied with vomiting. There is, too, a pain in the head and dizziness. These symptoms varying in their degrees and violence, generally continuing from one day to three or four, leaving ulcerated sores about the hands, resembling those on the cows teats, from whence they sprung. The lips, nostrils and eye-lids are sometimes affected with sores, but these evidently arise from their being rubbed or scratched with the patient's infected fingers. This is the common course of the disease with the human species. No person was ever known to die of this distemper. But what makes this newly discovered disease so very curious, and so extremely important is that every person thus effected, is EVER AFTER SECURED FROM THE ORDINARY SMALL-POX let him be ever so much exposed to the effluvium of it, or let ever so much ripe matter be inserted into the skin by inoculation. In other words—a person who has undergone the local disease and specific fever occasioned by the Cow-pox infection, is thereby rendered ever after insusceptible of the small pox. It is worthy remark that the infection of the Cow-pox can be conveyed to the human species by the ordinary mode of inoculation. And it is observed, that there is no difference in the effects of the matter taken from the cow, and of the matter generated successively in the second, third, fourth or fifth human creature.
Such are the outlines of a mild disease, the knowledge of which may lead to consequences of the utmost importance to the whole human race, no less indeed than that of superceding if not extinguishing that terrible scourge, the Small Pox.
Dr. Edward Jenner, is the physician in England who has collected and arranged a series of facts and experiments respecting the disease called there the cow-pox—His short work is commented on by Dr. George Pearson, physician to St. George's hospital, London.
This imperfect sketch is thrown into the news-paper at this time with a view of exciting the attention of our dairy farmers to such a distemper among their cows. It may also be gratifying to some of the faculty of medicine, who, it is presumed, are not yet generally informed of an epizootic disease, capable of being communicated from the brute to the human kind, and which when communicated, is a certain security against the small pox. The public anxiety has been roused of late, to search after the cause of a destructive fever. Their attention has been directed merely to asthma, vapours or gases, while they may here see a disease, the nearest a kin to the small pox of any yet known, which is never communicated by effluvia, or medium of the air.* It is highly probable that some of the most distressing distempers which afflict mankind have an animal origin, and time may prove that small pox, whooping cough, and one kind of quincy, have like the hydrophobia, a similar source.
B. WATERHOUSE. Cambridge, March 12, 1799.
* The cow-pox differs from the small pox in not being contagious or catching from one person to another. It can be taken only by inoculation.
MEMORY.
WHEN an offer was made to Themistocles, to teach him the art of memory, he answered that he would rather wish for the art of forgetfulness. In misery or distress it adds no comfort to the mind to reflect on former days, when the contrast rising to the view heightens the tenor of the present embarrassments, and renders them less tolerable. It will be more useful to think from recollection, and to look forward to prospects that may brighten; for there is no state of distress from which HE who beholds the destiny of man cannot elevate and restore him.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS, By arrivals at New-York from Liver- pool and St. Sebastian. London Dates to July 5. Paris to July 1.
AFFAIRS IN ITALY.
Battle of Marengo.
BULLETIN FROM THE ARMY OF RESERVE. Torre de Garafola, June 15. A FTER the battle of Montebello the army put itself in motion to pass the Scrivia. The advanced guard, commanded by Gen. Gaudanne, on the 13th encountered the enemy, who defended the approaches of the Bormida, and the three bridges which they had made near Alessandria, defeated them, and took 2 pieces of cannon and 100 prisoners.
The division of Gen. Chabran arrived at the same time along the Po, opposite Valence, to prevent the enemy from passing that river. Thus Melas found himself surrounded between the Bormida and the Po. The only retreat from Genoa, which remained to him after the battle of Montebello, was intercepted. The enemy still appeared to have no plan, or at least a very uncertain one, from its movements.
The 14th at day break, the enemy passed the Bormida on three bridges; resolved to cut their way thro', they debouched in force, surprised our advanced guard, and began, with great vivacity the battle of Marengo, which finally decided the fate of Italy and the Austrian Army. Four times during the battle we were repulsed, and as often we advanced. More than 60 pieces of cannon, on different points, and at different hours were taken and retaken on both sides. There were more than 12 charges of cavalry, and with various successes. It was three hours after mid-day; 10,000 infantry flanked our right in the grand plain of St. Julien. They were supported by a line of cavalry, and a great quantity of artillery. The grenadiers of the guard were placed like a redoubt of granite in the centre of the immense plain. Nothing could overthrow it. Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery, every thing was directed against that battalion, but in vain. It was then really seen what a handful of men of spirit could effect. By this obstinate resistance, the left of the enemy was checked and our right supported until the arrival of General Monier, who carried the village of Castel Ceriolo at the point of the bayonet; the enemy's cavalry then made a rapid movement on our right, which was already shaken. This movement precipitated its retreat. The enemy advanced upon our whole line, discharging cannonier shot from more than an hundred pieces of cannon. The roads were covered with fugitives, wounded and routed. The battle seemed lost. We permitted the enemy to advance within musket shot of the village of St. Julien, where the division of Desaix was in order for battle, with eight pieces of light artillery in front, and two battalions in close order on the wing. All the fugitives rallied behind it. Already had the enemy committed faults, which presaged their catastrophe. They extended their wings too much.
The presence of the first Consul re-animated the troops. "Children (says he to them,) do you remember that it is my custom to sleep on the field of battle?" Amidst shouts of "Live the Republic," "Live the First Consul." General Desaix charged with quick march by the centre. In an instant the enemy were defeated. General Kellerman, who, with his brigade of heavy cavalry, had the whole day covered the retreat of our left, made a charge with such vigour, and so a-propos, that 6000 grenadiers, and Gen. Zach, the Chief of the Staff, were made prisoners, and several of the enemy's generals killed. The whole army followed this movement. The right of the enemy was cut off, confusion and terror spread through their ranks.
The Austrian Cavalry advanced to the centre, to cover the retreat. The Chief of Brigade, Baffieres, at the head of carabins , and grenadiers of the guard, made a charge with such activity and courage that he pierced the line of the enemy's cavalry, and by it completed the entire rout of the army.
We have taken 15 stand of colours, 40 pieces of cannon, and made from 6 to 8000 prisoners. More than 6000 of the enemy remained on the field of battle.
The 9th light horse have merited the title of the invincible . The heavy cavalry and the 8th dragoons have covered themselves with glory. Our loss is also considerable. We had 600 men killed and 1500 wounded, and 900 taken prisoners. Generals Champeaux, Mainoni, and Boudit are wounded. The Gen. in Chief, Berthier, had his clothes pierced like a sieve with balls. Several of his Aid
du Camp were dismounted. But a loss sincerely felt by the army, and which will also be severely felt by the whole Republic, is that of Desaix, who was struck by a ball at the commencement of the charge by his division. He died of the wound. He had only time to say to young Lebrun, who was with him, "Go tell the First Consul that I die with regret at not having done enough to live in posterity."
In the course of his life Desaix had four horses killed under him, and received three wounds. He had joined headquarters only three days before. He burned for the engagement, and said twice or thrice to his Aid du Camp in the course of the evening, "It is a long time since I fought in Europe, the bullets no longer know us." When the news was brought of the death of Desaix to the First Consul, 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?" His body has been conveyed to Milan, there to be embalmed.
The First Consul to the Consuls of the Republic.
Torre de Garafola, June 16. The day after the battle of Marengo, Citizens Consuls, Gen. Melas requested leave from the advanced posts to send to me Gen. Skal. In the course of the day the Convention, of which you will find a copy subjoined, was agreed upon. It was signed in the night by Gen. Berthier and Gen. Melas.

Signed at Alexandria, June 16 by Berthier and Melas. Kellerman, general of brigade, to general Dupont, chief of the general staff. Head-Quarters, June 21.
MY GENERAL, I hasten to render you the account that the city of Genoa will not be evacuated before the 24th inst. I have seen general Hohenzollern, who told me he had received orders from general Melas to surrender the town and forts of Genoa to the French troops with the ammunition and artillery agreed upon, the 23rd June, at 4 o'clock in the morning. He has assured me, in a manner not to be doubted, that the orders which he received would on his part be executed with all the exactness and fidelity possible; though he could not refrain expressing his dissatisfaction at the convention, with which Melas had not acquainted him. You may therefore be easy on this account, as well as on that of the English, who since yesterday, are ready to put to sea, but are going away much displeased. They had the presumption to claim for themselves all the ammunition and artillery; but General Hohenzollern opposed it, and
has even been obliged to send two battalions to prevent it. We can but praise his frankness and loyalty towards us, and the Genoese themselves never made him any subject of complaint.
The English carry away all the grain that has not been landed. Sixty thousand charges of wheat will be taken from Genoa to return to Leghorn, though merchants have offered six livres premium per charge. This time the vexation of the English got the better of their cupidity, and lord Keith has declared that he was going to renew more strictly than ever the blockade of the port and the river, to revenge himself on that innocent town for our victories.
Yesterday Gen. Willot embarked with a corps formed of some adventurers, and paid by England. Pichegru was daily expected. It is from the count de Busly that I have been informed of this. On the city of Genoa has been levied a contribution of a million of livres, of which 200,000 have been already paid.
The city has suffered cruelly, and has nevertheless preserved an attachment for the French. As soon as the convention was made known, the people wanted to resume the cockade; it has occasioned some disturbances which have been appeased. The cockade has been permitted to the officers of the line. Health and respect.
KELLERMAN.
Convention agreed upon for the occupation of the city of Genoa and its forts, the 24th June, 1800, conformably to the treaty made between the generals in chief Berthier and Melas.
The commissioners and officers provided with orders from General Suchet, may enter to-morrow at eight o'clock.—Agreed. The out-side posts will be occupied by the French troops at three o'clock P.

At four o'clock in the morning, of the 24th June, count de Hohenzollern will be out with the garrison.—Agreed.
Dispatches and transports of recruits and cattle, which may arrive after the departure, will be at liberty to follow the Austrian army.—Agreed. At the request of count de Hohenzollern, no honor shall be rendered to his troops.—Agreed. The major-general acting by virtue of powers from count de Hohenzollern, THE COUNT DE BUSSY.

ARMY OF RESERVE.
BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF RESERVE. Milan, 4 Messo, June 23, Year 8. A Turkish ambassador has arrived at Genoa, by way of Leghorn, in an English frigate. He has informed Adm. Keith of the events in Egypt, and of the deplorable situation of the Grand Vizir, who is beyond the desert.
General Pichegru has been destined to command a corps which are to penetrate into France! It is to be regretted that a man who has rendered such great services to the republic should fully his glory by such miserable intrigues. General Suchet arrived before Genoa, at Campo-Morone, the 30th Prairial, in a lucky hour. After several parleys with General Hohenzollern, he has signed a convention similar to that of Alessandria. Bonaparte has re-established and reorganized the University of Pavia.
An Account of a Victory previous to the Armistice.
Suchet, Lieutenant of the Commander in Chief, to Gen. Bonaparte. Head-Quarters, Tenda, June 13. After giving an account of his pursuit of General Elnitz, he says— We continue to make prisoners. The army of Gen. Elnitz is completely routed; one soldier took 50 prisoners with ease. Since my last we have taken from the enemy more than 2,400 men, 11 pieces of cannon, the Hill-Brois, the intrenched position of Forconi, the celebrated redoubts of the camp of Fourches; and, lastly, the Col di Tenda. I am assured of these successes.
The enemy, who threw themselves into the Rivieres, and fortified themselves there, were not able to guess at my movements. They thought that I should march towards Vintimiglia, and whilst I assembled all my forces on the right, cut the line at its extremity, and the next day at its centre. I left Clausewitz to make such appearances, and to engage the attention of the enemy's General with 1000 men. I ran some risks, but I was confident of victory, and at all events, at the head of my brigade, Clausewitz will this day drive the enemy from Ventimiglia, surround the little fort
which they relieved; he will be seconded by a column which marches by the way of Olivetta and Beverras. Gornier who according to your orders, is about to command in the maritime Alps, will be charged with this blockade, and with the preservation of the Tete du Pont, and Col de Tenda, which I shall fortify, I hope to be at Pieve to-morrow with my advanced guard. An English vessel efforts Clausewitz on the Riviere. Among the officers taken in the different affairs, we find colonels Bormes and Baron Molis, Commandant of the corps of sapping pioneers.
Since the 28th of May we have taken 5000 prisoners, 15 pieces of cannon, a great quantity of baggage, implements of war and provisions, and are in possession of the whole department of the Maritime Alps. At this instant Gen. Rochambeau informs me that the Brigade of Brunet has made 200 prisoners at Aqua, and that a battalion of the 11th had taken a like number at Olivetta.
Four regiments fled with difficulty by the Col de Tende, throwing down their arms and caskets. Gens. Elnitz, Bellegarde, Ulm, St. Julien, Vigniter, Marini, Latterman and Kollenvitch, have been forced to retire to the Rivier of Genoa. I expect a battle there. We will exert ourselves to gain it, and join you in triumph. SUCHET.

ARMY OF THE RHINE.
Extract of a letter from the Adjutant of the Army of the Rhine. Head-Quarters, 23rd June. The skillful and bold movements of the general in chief have determined general Kray to abandon Ulm to a small garrison. Gen. Moreau has left the division Richepanse before that place. Yesterday we again drove away the enemy, who is retreating after vigorously defending himself in a narrow pass. This circumstance did not, however, prevent his being cut off, and rendering his situation worse than ever.
In consequence, he has sent us this morning a parley, to announce that the first consul had concluded an armistice in Italy, and that it must be general; but as the general in chief has not been officially informed of it, that will not stop him. He will continue to beat the enemy; it is the surest way to have peace.
Telegraphic Dispatches from Hunningen, June 25, at night. Moreau, to the Minister of war. The right wing of the army has forced the passage of the Danube, on Binsheim and Dillingen. The enemy opposed a lively resistance, but were defeated by our troops, who took 14 pieces of cannon, and four stand of colours. 3000 men besides were made prisoners.
FRANKFORT, JUNE 22. We are officially authorized to announce to the public, that 30 battalions of infantry, under the orders of His Royal Highness the Archduke Charles, are collecting on the Inn; and that 10,000 men of Hungarian cavalry, now assembled near Presburg, will advance to support that army.
PARIS, JUNE 22. The English have failed in an attack on the Isle of Gronceys. A part of the English division are at Penmark, and interrupt the coasting trade. A convoy however lately escaped them.
JUNE 30. We learn that on the morning of the 25th the Austrians evacuated the different places they had occupied in the Brisgaw, before Kehl, and that they are in full march to join the army of general Kray.
By a consular decree of the 22nd Prairial, the siege of the communes of Havre and Ingouville is raised. Postscript, 10 o'clock at night. Important news has been received this evening from the army of the Rhine. The Austrians have evacuated all the environs of Ulm—they have even left a small garrison in the town. We are masters of the positions that command it. We have taken nothing.
RENNES, JUNE 24. A letter from Josselin gives us the following news, extracted from a letter from Belle-Isle, June 21. The English who blockaded Belle-Isle, effected a disembarkation of 6,000 men, whom the garrison suffered to land; 600 only have been able to re-embark; the others have either been killed or made prisoners. An English frigate has been sunk by the artillery of the forts."
LONDON, JUNE 25. Of such vast importance are the events which we announced yesterday, that the mind can scarcely grasp at once all their magnitude, nor calculate all the consequences that are likely to result from them.

DUBLIN, June, 24. UNION.
A paper is handing about, giving an estimate of the sums of money that must for the future be annually spent out of Dublin, together with the amount of property in houses furniture, &c. that must come to the hammer, in consequence of the removal hence of the principal Members of both Houses, except those engaged in the profession of the law. After giving a list of the Upper and Lower Houses the estimate sets forth, that near 600,000. a year of income will be spent out of Dublin, which was usually expended here, and that upwards of 800,000. worth of property in houses, furniture, &c. will be publicly sold in this city and the amount carried elsewhere.
The above paper contains the following passage: "Whatever be the benefits that may, in process of time, accrue to the kingdom at large from the adoption of this measure, [Union] concerning which there exists a very great diversity of sentiment, it is yet agreed on all hands that the capital must in the interval, until these effects be known, feel severely the inevitable emigration of 132 of the wealthiest inhabitants in the island who always spend their winters here, and of the crowd of others that must henceforth resort to London in quest of power, pleasure and emolument."
The Russian General d'Herman and suite, with other Russian officers who served in Holland, sailed in the last packet from Yarmouth for Hamburg.
The Guards in Ireland, it is stated, are under orders to return home to join in the pending Expedition.

CHARLESTON, August 5.
FIRE.
Yesterday morning about a quarter before 11 o'clock the house of Mr. Martin Miller, on the west side of King-Street, the third door above Boundary-Street, was discovered to be on fire.
The reports relative to its origin are various; the only one credited is, that it was accidentally communicated by the blaze of a candle with a punch-bowl of rum, in the cellar, from which the unfortunate Mr. Miller and his wife were drawing off a few gallons in Demijohns. The punch-bowl exploded immediately and communicated to a keg of gun-powder in the store, which also blew up and burnt Mr. and Mrs. Miller in a most shocking manner, so much so that Mrs. Miller has since died, and there is scarcely a possibility of Mr. Miller's surviving.
The wind was fresh from S. W. and the adjacent buildings being principally wooden, the flames (notwithstanding the extraordinary exertions, activity and attention of the citizens) spread with uncommon violence, and destroyed about fifteen dwelling houses, exclusive of a number of back buildings.
It is particularly to be regretted, that the sufferers by the fire are generally poor, industrious and hard working people, and to such industry the affluent will, without doubt, extend their benevolent liberality.
A more minute account of the fire and sufferers will be given in to-morrow's paper.
August 6.
The principal sufferers by the fire of Monday last, are Mr. Miller, Mrs. Brunsdon, Mr. Wills, Mr. Turner, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Pelot, and Mrs. Lavin, on the west side; and on the east side Mr. M c Millan, who lost three houses and his large range of stables, Mr. Keels, who lost three houses, Mr. Gray, Mr. Prissy, Mr. Simmons, also lost three houses, Mr. Crawford, Mrs. Singleton, Mr. M c Cracken, Mr. Phillips, and Messrs. Wells and Sons. Mr. Samuel West's house was pulled down, to prevent the flames from spreading.
Died yesterday morning, in consequence of the injury he received by the fire on Monday, Martin Miller, greatly regretted by all his friends and acquaintances—by whom he was respected as an honest, good-man.
PHILADELPHIA, August 19.
Having at length engaged a gentleman of distinguished talents to assist in writing a History of the Life of the late General WASHINGTON, this work will be immediately commenced and will be completed as expeditiously as the nature of such an undertaking will permit.
BUSHROD WASHINGTON.
August 16th, 1800.
It has not been thought proper to mention the name of the gentleman who has engaged in this important undertaking; but we learn that he is an eminent literary character. "The work is to be executed on an extensive scale. The invaluable manuscripts bequeathed to Judge Washington, by his venerated uncle, are numerous and will afford ample materials for furnishing not only authentic Memoirs, of one of the greatest men that ever trod the earth, but will also exhibit a complete History both civil and military, of American affairs, from the first discovery, down to the close of last year."
"General Washington's private Journal, written by himself, will prove very advantageous in delineating the Biographical department of the work."
NEW-YORK, AUGUST 18.
MUTINY.
A mutiny took place on Saturday morning on board the Providence, of 34 guns, from Barcelona. The captain fired three alarm guns, when boats came from the frigate President, apprehended the disturbance and took out 10 of the principal offenders, who were afterwards confined in irons by Commodore TRUXTON.
BOSTON, AUGUST 22.
NEWS.
Under the foreign head in this day's paper will be found much interesting European Intelligence. Our previous news from Italy is confirmed. The Courier dispatched to Vienna was expected to reach there by the 19th of June, and the answer to be received at head-quarters in Italy by the 26th. There were excessive rejoicings at Paris on the receipt of the details of the French successes in Italy. Illuminations were general; and the warmest acclamations of joy issued from the rulers and the people. On the news of the debarkation of the English at Quiberon, Bonaparte says he had thoughts of proceeding thither, but he soon after heard they had returned on board the ships.
There appears a general confidence that peace will result from the late events.
The recommencement of hostilities in Egypt was occasioned by the refusal of the English to abide by the negotiation between Kleber and the Grand Vizier, expressed in a letter from Ad. Ld. Keith to the French General.

From the [Salem REGISTER.]
Extract of a letter from Mr. Roussel, at the Isle of France, to a gentleman in this town, dated March 30, 1800.
"Our private and colonial authority, has declared us for some time, at war with your nation, but now we are happily come out of that error, and we have in consequence made a commercial treaty with you, which renders safe your property in these seas, provided always, that your vessels be fitted out conformably to the treaty of 1778; so you may visit us with entire confidence; expecting with pleasure, I remain, yours, &c."
The Polly, Stetson, of Boston, for Malaga has been sent into Portugal by a British cruiser. Letters from the Captain express an expectation of her release.
Some of the Eastern squatters have murdered a Mr. Winslow, who was assisting in a survey of land on Knox's Patent.

Of Our Envoys.
The following are all the particulars that we have learnt respecting the Embassy to France.
From NEW-YORK, AUG. 18.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Amazon, arrived yesterday from St. Sebastians, informs, that four days before he left that city, he received two letters from Bordeaux dated July 1st, 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, [the Treaty of Alliance offensive and defensive] or make one similar to it."
From NEW-LONDON, Aug. 20.
On Saturday arrived in this city two gentlemen from Martha's Vineyard, who came passengers from Rochelle, France, in the ship Columbus, Capt. Joseph Skinner from this port. We learn from these passengers that the ship sailed from Rochelle, the 17th of June, and brought dispatches from our envoys; nothing particular respecting the mission had been made public, but it was understood that the negotiations were likely to have a favorable issue. Our informant saw Mr. Ellsworth on the 6th June, he was in good spirits; Mr. Murray, did not enjoy his health. The commissioners it was expected would depart for America about the first of August.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Fenwick to a gentleman in this town, dated BORDEAUX, JUNE 28.
"We doubt not in the least but that the present negotiation on foot at Paris between the American Commissioners and this Government, will have a happy issue, and that a cordial intercourse between the two Countries will shortly take place."
From BASSATERRE, July 24.
This morning the U. State's Schooner Enterprise, John Shaw, Esq. commander, brought in the French privateer Schooner Flambeau, of Guadalupe. She engaged the Enterprise three quarters of an hour, and had 37 men killed and wounded, the Enterprise had only 2 slightly wounded. She had been on a cruise 70 days, and had taken only 2 Spaniards on the Main, loaded with Dry Goods, which she took out of them. She mounted 10 six pounders and 110 men.
From Newbury-Port, Aug. 22.
BRITISH DEPREDATION.
Ship Brutus, Rutherford, of Salisbury, failed from this port the 25th ult. bound to Havannah, with a cargo of lumber and provisions, but on the 31st, in lat. 39, 40, long. 67, 50, was captured by a British privateer called Earl of Dublin, commanded by James Churchill, and sent into Halifax for adjudication. Capt. Rutherford writes, that on the slight pretext which several Americans have been condemned—he does not expect a favourable decision. A respectable character, there, on the contrary, expresses his surprise that she should be brought in, and is confident she will be cleared. It is expected that recent condemnations will hatch a swarm of privateers to prey on our commerce.
From the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser.
While we felicitate the public on the happy prospect of this once devoted city being entirely freed from pestilence, we cannot refrain from expressions of regret at the misfortunes of another. The borough of Norfolk, in the state of Virginia, at no time a healthy residence for foreigners, it
would appear from the following extracts, is likely to prove fatal to many of its old inhabitants—that dreadful scourge the Yellow Fever, having made its appearance there—which, though apparently hushed, ought to be made known for our own preservation.
From the Peterborough Intelligencer of Aug. 8.
"It is really melancholy to hear the distressing accounts of the deaths in the borough of Norfolk. Several persons from that town, and letters received from thence, represent the number of deaths from six to twelve of a day. Did not these accounts come from a variety of persons, we should be inclined to discredit them."
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
The Constitution frigate, of 44 guns, Capt. Talbot, is hourly expected here. In her late cruise, she has sprung her main-mast, which was fitted in the West-Indies. A new one for her is now making at the Navy-Yard.
The President, of 44 guns, Commodore Truxton, has failed from New-York on a cruise.
Capt. Farley, 26 days from St. Kitts, and 22 from St. Thomas, informs, That the U. S. Sch. Enterprise, Lieut. Shaw, of 12 guns, brought two French privateers, of 10 guns each, and 100 men, into St. Kitts, after a considerable resistance, and in one of which were 35 killed and wounded. The Enterprise lost only one man.
PORTSMOUTH, August 26.
Yesterday the inhabitants of this town assembled in town meeting for the purpose of voting for a Representative to Congress, in place of Mr. Gordon resigned, to take his seat at the next session; likewise to vote for four suitable persons to represent this State two years in the Congress of the United States from March next.
The Hon. JOHN LANGDON, Esq. presided as Moderator. At the close of the poll the votes stood as follows:
In place of Mr. GORDON, JOSEPH BADGER, Jr. Esq. 198 Hon. SAMUEL TENNEY, Esq. 92 Hon. THO'S COGSWELL, Esq. 1

SAMUEL BORLAND, Esq. having resigned as acting American Consul at Essequibo and Demerara, NICHOLAS ROUSSELET, Esq. is about to resume that character.
The drought, this season, is truly alarming. The hills and plains bear a nearer resemblance to "the scorched desert," than "the fruitful field." Vegetation is almost universally withered, and every thing around affords subject for melancholy reflection. We have indeed reason to tremble for the consequences, if Divine Providence be not soon pleased "to bid the showers to refresh the parched earth."
Proposals have been issued by Richard Bowen, for publishing at the city of Washington, a weekly paper, entitled, The City Register, on super-royal, at three dollars per annum, half in advance.
From the Gazette of the U. States. [The following we have just received from England, from the Rev. William Gordon, Rector of St. Nichols.]
St. Nichols, Feb. 28, 1800.
SIR, Observing in the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser, of Sept. 7, 1799, an article dated Alexandria, August 23—"Died, on Friday morning, the 16th inst. near Dumfries, Mr. Daniel Ford, in the 20th year of his age, of that dreadful malady the Hydrophobia, very much and very justly respected." He was bitten, as I observed, by a mad dog, in the neck. I have here sent you an infallible cure for the bite of a mad dog.
The leaves of rue, picked from the stalks and bruised—Venice treacle or mithridate, and scrapings of pewter, each four ounces—boil all these together over a slow fire in two quarts of ale, till one pint is consumed—keep it in a bottle close stopped—give of it nine spoonfuls, a little warm, to the person bit, seven mornings successively, and six to a dog, to be given for nine days after the bite; apply also some of the ingredients to the part bitten.
N. B. This receipt was taken out of Cathorp Church in Lincolnshire, the whole town almost, being bitten and not one person that took this medicine but what was cured.
Your humble servant, WILLIAM GORDON.
The Vengeance, which engaged the Contre-Tenante, has since sunk in the port of Currao. When the put into that port, it was believed that she had been engaged with a British 74; as soon, however, as it was known to have been an American, a salute was fired, the bells were ordered to be rung, and 3 days of public rejoicing were observed throughout the place, in honor of the gallant action.
Extract of a letter from Capt. GEDDES, of the Petoasco Sloop of war, dated at sea, July 30.
"While at St. Thomas's I learnt that an expedition was gone from that Island against Currao consisting of 8 or 10 vessels and from 700 to 1,000 troops. The reason assigned is, the Dutch not making advances for the repair of the Vengeance. It is generally believed, and from the intercourse between the two islands they must have the most correct information: I fear should they succeed, there would be a great deal of American property lost. I have boarded several vessels going there. On the 24th inst. I boarded the brig Ruby, Lillibridge, from your port, bound to St. John's, Port Rico. I ran down the island with him, until I lost him in the night, but I think there is no doubt but he got in safe."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at N. Orleans, dated 13th June, to his friend in Charleston.
"About the 8th of March I was at Loftus Heights. Lt. Fero had some time before been tried by a general court martial, and was cashiered. He had threatened the lives of such part of the court in time of trial, as he might suspect of having voted against him. Capt. Grison and Lieut. Smith went into a public house, and having been two of the number, asked Fero if he made the above threats. He answered in the affirmative, and drew a dirk. An affray took place, in which they were all three stabbed."
A school for the tuition of Black Children, has been opened at Philadelphia, under the immediate care and inspection of the committee of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society.
From Salem, August 25.
The Fire said to have happened at Orrington, on the Penobscot River, is a scandalous imposition upon our brethren of the type in Boston. We are authorised to say the story has no foundation in truth.

"TOO MUCH"—AN EXTRACT.  Too much rest our genius dulls, Too much love disturbs the brain, Too much learning makes us fools, Too much business gives us pain.  Too much physic makes us worse, From too much cunning cheating grows, Too much vigour is a curse, From too much saving avarice flows.  Too much courage makes us rash, From too much riches trouble springs, Too much honors are but trash, Too much pleasure sickness brings.  By too much confidence we lose; From too much wit what mischief rises; Too much freedom's an abuse, Too much good nature is not wise;  Too much politeness is a thrall, Yet all these things are blessings call.

The remote situation of the proprietors, together with the large number which there are, will naturally lead every reflecting person to determine that they cannot expect to be waited on individually.  They are therefore earnestly requested to call and pay it at the Custom-House.
