Transatlantic News, By the Minerva, Barber, from London —and the British Packet, at Halifax—To Oct. 6.
Surrender of MALTA to the English.
W E have a French Official Account of this event. It states that the total want of provisions, commanded and justified the capitulation. The French troops were to be transported to Marseilles and not to serve against the English or their allies the present war.
France and Austria.
An Augsburg article of Sept. 24, mentions, that it had that day been announced as certain that the Emperor had signed the preliminaries of peace; which are, however, to be kept secret; but differ from those lately published.
Joseph Bonaparte will be the French Commissioner at the Congress of Luneville. The French Gen. Clarke, will assist. Count Lehrbach is the German Commissioner.
Count St. Julien, who signed the preliminaries at Paris, has been ordered to retire to the fortress of Carlstadt in Croatia, and will no more be employed on similar missions.
England and France.
It is thought that the British Government have replied to Bonaparte's overtures, that they will consent to a modified Naval Armistice; but that he has insisted upon one free from restrictions. The most profound secrecy is observed in governmental circles. The price of the funds, however, indicate that the probability of a compromise is not great. The last cartel from France brought important dispatches.
England and Russia.
"RIGA, SEPT. 10."
The Emperor of Russia, having learned that the English have made a violent attack upon Denmark, and have impeded the passage of the Sound by sending a Squadron of men of war to Elsinore, whereby the commerce of the Baltic Sea appears to have sustained an interruption, is hereby pleased to order, that English property or capital in his Imperial Majesty's Dominions be sequestered or detained, and that no part of it be suffered to be remitted or sent out, until his Imperial Majesty shall have ascertained what the real views of England are, or that his Imperial Majesty shall have given his special permission to the contrary.
"None of the property of the English shall, however, be taken from the possessors; nor shall any interruption be given to the private concerns of the merchants, possessing British property."
Extract of a letter from Riga, Sept. 14.
We have to communicate the pleasing intelligence, that the embargo provisionally laid on English ships in Russian ports, as well as the sequestration on all property belonging to English subjects, is taken off, in consequence of information being received, that the differences between Great Britain and Denmark are amicably settled.
France, Spain and Portugal.
"LONDON, OCT. 4."
The French Minister Alquier and General Berthier appear to have overcome the repugnance of the Court of Madrid to a French expedition against Portugal. It would seem that our Government is not without its fears with respect to the present situation of our ally; for the Count De La Roliere, a General Officer of artillery in the British Service, received orders to set out for Portugal yesterday, and to cause a vessel to be got ready for him, should he find the Packet failed. The occasion of this sudden order is said to be that information has been received that two columns of French troops have already passed the frontiers of Spain, and that they were preceded by twenty-four Staff Officers, who were going to Madrid to join Gen. Berthier. A Spanish Army of 70,000 infantry and 8000 cavalry is said to be already on its march for Portugal. Some accounts say there are many French Officers in it. The General in Chief is M. d'Urbia. It is expected operations against Portugal will commence by the middle of Oct.
VARIOUS ARTICLES.
"LONDON, SEPT. 22."
The harmony which subsists between Prussia and France is said to be rapidly declining, in consequence of the fresh exaction in the Empire, especially in Franconia, Suabia, and Bavaria.
"OCT. 4."
It is to be apprehended that the Equinozial Gales, now about to set in, will force the grand fleet from its station off Brest. We know that Lord St. Vincent kept the sea for a
whole year off Cadiz, a thing unprecedented in naval history; but the violence of these gales in the Atlantic, with Brest perhaps for a lee-shore, may render his stay there impossible.
The following is said to be the station of the Brest fleet:—It is divided into two squadrons, or lines; one without the harbour, composed of eight three deckers, and four ships of 90 guns. The second consists of seventeen ships of 74 each. Both squadrons have springs on their cables. In the Bay of Biscay there are eleven 74's, and one ship of 80, with springs on their cables, to answer either line and each ship has 400 troops ready to be disembarked, to reinforce the camp of Quelerne, which consists at present of 3000 men. The lines at Quelerne are 650 toises in length, and are defended by 72 pieces of artillery of large calibre. The intrenchments are remarkably strong.
The Emperor of Russia, dissatisfied with manoeuvres of the Finland troops on the ist ult. reprimanded Prince Gortchakow for neglect, with this remark, "that his conduct was of the same kind as that which had occasioned the loss of the battles in Switzerland and Holland."
It is reported, that the King of England will be crowned next winter Emperor of the United Kingdoms, and that of course a grand procession will take place.
The Grand Vizer's army is said to be again reinforced to 60,000 men, and that he is ready to advance against Cairo.
Lord Nelson arrived on Wednesday at his seat at Roundwood, near Ipswich.
On the 30th or 31st of August Lord Keith sailed from Minorca with 15,000 troops. He proceeded to the eastward, and is supposed to be gone either to Naples or Egypt.
The Admiralty Board has given orders for the general introduction of the cow pox into the Navy.
Pius the VIIIth is filling the prisons of Rome with suspected persons; and has introduced into his capital 6000 Neapolitans, for the protection of his person and government.
Two large Russian armies, it is officially announced in the Petersburg Gazette, amounting together to not less than 130,000 men, were collecting on the Russian frontiers of Volhynia and Lithuania; and the co-operation of Prussia is also expected. A few days will show us how far the assistance of these powers will be necessary.
The Archduke Charles, we are sorry to find, still continues too ill to join the emperor, but he has written to say, that it is his intention to do so as soon as his health would permit.
A Russian fleet of 25 sail of the line, and a proportionate number of frigates and cutters, is fitting out at Petersburg to cruise in the Baltic.
Very active naval preparations are also making in Sweden; and Lord Whitworth has failed from Copenhagen, in the Victor sloop of war, for Stockholm, in order, no doubt, in the first instance, to come to an explanation with that Court upon the subject. Some accounts add, that his Lordship again returned to Copenhagen on the 11th instant.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.
On Saturday last the President of the United States arrived in this city, and took up his residence in the house appropriated to him by the commissioners. Though not entirely finished, the part which is completed will afford ample accommodations.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.
SPANISH CIVILITY.
Extract of a letter from Havana, to a gentleman residing in New-York, Sept. 24, 1800.
"On the 19th inst. the U. S. frigate Constellation, under the command of Capt. Murray, made her appearance off the Moro Castle. Application being made to Capt. Murray to take a number of American vessels under his convoy, he accordingly entered the port, saluting the admiral, which was immediately returned. After the usual offer of services, which is uniformly practised by the Government and especially by the Navy Department, towards the American State ships, the barge of the St. Pedro de Alcantara ship of the line, commanded by D. Dionna Galiano, went on board the Constellation, with a card, inviting Capt. Murray, and his officers to an entertainment, to be given next day, to the Ex-Vice-Roi of Mexico Don Joseph Mique de Azanza, at present here. Capt. Murray on landing, went with the Consul to visit all the constituted authorities, by whom he was received with the most pointed marks of politeness, and every offer rendered him in person.—Agreeably to invitation, Capt. Murray and his officers went on board the St. Pedro, where two officers were stationed for the express purpose of waiting the arrival of the American commander, on which being announced, Capt.
Galiano came to the gang way to receive him, and seated him in the most distinguished part of the assembly.
"To give you a description of the entertainment requires a knowledge of Naval Architecture which I do not possess. Figure to yourself a ship of the line illuminated by about two thousand lights fancifully arranged; a platform extending from the foremast to the round house spread with carpets with rows of chairs and benches on either side of the ship, the whole covered with awnings, add to this, about one hundred and fifty ladies and twice the number of gentlemen, dressed in costly elegance—then conceive what a striking and delightful spectacle it must have afforded. The ball was opened by the Vice Roy, Governor and head Admiral, and continued till 1 o'clock in the morning, when the company was conducted to the middle deck, where a supper table was laid extending from one end of the ship to the other; covered most sumptuously, for the reception and accommodation of 400 persons. Upon the poop was another table spread with refreshments of every kind. The whole was conducted with the greatest order, and perhaps a more splendid entertainment has seldom been witnessed. It is supposed to have cost Capt. Galiano 10,000 dollars."
The next day Capt. Galiano dined on board the Constellation; and the day following Ad. Arriaga and Vice Ad. Nuenoz waited on Capt. Murray, who being apprized of it hoisted all his colours, elegantly dressed. As soon as they were on deck, a salute of 15 guns was fired. They were very much pleased with the ship, and insisted that he was not a frigate, but a ship of the line. When they returned on shore, the yards were again manned, and three cheers given them by the crew.
The circumstance of dressing the ship gave rise to some jealousy on the part of a Capt. of a French Privateer, who supposed an affront intended to his nation because the French colors happened to be placed below the English. It produced a very scurrilous letter to Capt. M. which being known by the Governor he ordered the Capt. and lieut. of the privateer to be confined. Upon the whole, these circumstances, the appearance of the ship, and the excellent discipline which is maintained on board, has made impressions extremely favorable to the character of our rising navy.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 3.
A letter from Charleston to a respectable gentleman in this city, dated October 17, says, "Our Election is over—The Federal Ticket carried 16 out of 17—and accounts from the Country assure us that such men will be elected as will carry Adams and Pinckney—a circumstance we had no reason to expect a few weeks since. On this the Disorganisers look pale—they begin here to despair, because they believe their Friends in the other states may have calculated too sanguinely."
NOV. 4.
Extract of a letter from Martinique, dated October 3, 1800.
"You would I suppose have heard that the Belliqueux of 64, and the Enymion of 44 guns, convoying some Indian bound to India, in lat. 23, 8, fell in with the Concord, Medea, and La Franchise, Republican frigates, which after robbing every vessel, English, Portuguese, and American, they could meet with, went to Rio Plata to rest, and were returning to France with immense plunder. The two former frigates were taken—the La Franchise by throwing her guns and anchors overboard, escaped; there was a Spaniard on board the Concord with 150,000 dollars, in order to purchase whatever prizes the three frigates might fall in with, but has met with a Scotch prize, and a bad voyage."
Capt. Trueman of the James, from Malaga, informs, that he saw a letter from Mr. Shaw, in Cadiz, which stated that the sickness there had decreased so much that no more than eighteen or twenty died of a day; and that in consequence, the stores were opened, and business resumed.
BOSTON, Nov. 12.
The TREATY with FRANCE, Will speedily become the subject of public discussion—and until it is ratified by the Senate will be open to a free canvas.—After it becomes the supreme law of the land, every loyal American will, and will cheerfully obey it. When Mr. Jay's treaty was first mentioned, the French faction condemned it in toto even before its arrival in the United States; and, when under discussion in the Senate, a mutilated copy of it was circulated through the country; meetings were called, not to discuss, but to condemn it; petitions were circulated to prevent its ratification; and the negotiator of it was ignominiously hung
in effigy.—This faction would have no right to complain if the measure they have meted was measured to them again. But the Federalists will not thus retaliate. Though they are assured the agreement in question abandons the claims of the citizens of the United States, for French piracies—amounting to more than twenty millions of dollars—and therefore can have but small claim to commendation; they nevertheless willingly believe it to be the best bargain our Envoys could make; and they wait with patience the official publication of the instrument before they either condemn or approve it.
General JOHN ARMSTRONG, is elected a Senator of the United States, for the State of New-York, in room of Hon. John Laurence, resigned.
Massachusetts Legislature.
Gov. STRONG's Speech.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, As the welfare and prosperity of a nation essentially depend on the character of their Magistrates, and the wisdom with which their government is administered; the object of your present session will be highly interesting, not only to your constituents but to the whole people of the United States.
The time approaches when, by their constitution and law, the election of their President and Vice President must be completed; and you are now assembled to take the measures that are previously necessary on the part of this Commonwealth, to accomplish that important purpose. You will endeavor to select those who are to give the ultimate suffrage of the State, from the best informed citizens, and the friends of order and good government; may that wise and gracious providence, which has hitherto guided and sustained the American people preside in your deliberations, and direct the result of them.
Although I have the pleasure to observe that tranquillity generally prevails through this Commonwealth, yet it is my duty to state to you, that by letters and affidavits, which the Secretary will lay before you, it appears, that since the last session of the General Court, a number of persons, in the county of Hancock, have, in a violent manner, obstructed the business of surveying land in that county, by firing upon and dangerously wounding a surveyor and chainman who were employed in that service. The necessity of suppressing disorders of such a fatal tendency is obvious. Indeed the persons guilty of these outrages were concealed or in disguise; but they are supposed to have been actuated by a spirit of resistance to the law; which would be increased and embodied by an appearance of unconcernedness on the part of the government to restrain or punish it.
From the reports of several of the Major-Generals, I am happy to be able to inform you that the militia of the Commonwealth are in a state of unusual improvement.—A large proportion of them are completely equipped and uniformed; and in the course of the late reviews their discipline and subordination reflected honour on the officers and soldiers, and entitled them to peculiar commendation. With a militia thus trained, and animated with military ardor, through the Union, America will not hesitate to assert her national rights, or be unable to defend them when they are invaded.
I presume you will not be willing to protract a session at this unusual season of the year, by attending to business that may conveniently be postponed to the time when you will meet for the ordinary purpose of Legislation.
CALEB STRONG.

PARIS, OCT. 3.
A Convention of Amity and Commerce, between the French Republic, and the United States of America, was signed the day before yesterday, (October 1st,) by the French Plenipotentiaries, Joseph Buonaparte, C. P. Claret, Fleuriot, and Riederer, and the American Commissioners, Oliver Ellsworth, W. R. Davy, and W. V. Murray.
(Official.)
It was less necessary to revert to the past than to revive between the two nations useful and honorable relations; the treaty has fulfilled this object. The French Ministers convinced that the prosperity of America, could not but add to the prosperity of France, have been led particularly to congregate maxims most favorable to the rights of neutrality, and most conformable to the regulations of 1778. The first Consul in restoring force to that regulation four months ago, fulfilled the wish of justice, and of Europe; and undoubtedly it will be delightful to him to evince to himself anew, faithful to his principles, by ratifying the treaty concluded by the Minister of the Republic, at a moment in which Europe resounds with the violation of neutral flags. The American Ministers on their side appreciated the advantage of being allied to a nation governed at length with wisdom and firmness. Every thing announces that a strict and durable friendship is about to reanimate the neutral commerce of the two nations.
Important Letter
From a gentleman of the first respectability in Europe, dated July 1800.
"YOU will have heard of the extraordinary success which has attended the French arms through the course of the present campaign. If it were possible for the government of Europe to take lessons from experience, there was an opportunity last winter which might have produced a general peace. Buonaparte had just seated himself at the head of the French Government. His power had in form new limits, in substance scarcely any, but his authority was new and extremely precarious. Peace was for his interest, and he probably wished for it. But Austria refused the terms he offered, and England refused even to negotiate. The refusal of Austria, was solely and professedly because she expected by continuing the war to make greater conquests of territory; and such was her blind, infatuated confidence in her own means, that, she wantonly threw away the alliance of Russia, which had been the great means of her success the last campaign. The French had treacherously despoiled the king of Sardinia of all his dominions on the continent. One of the express purposes for which Austria and Russia began the war, was to restore them to him. But no sooner had Austria got in possession of the strong places of Piedmont, than she herself lays claim to the country itself, and refuses to restore it to the king of Sardinia. Nothing could be more natural than the indignation of the Emperor of Russia, at this conduct of his ally; nor is it surprising that in consequence of it, he should immediately withdraw his troops, and enter into a negotiation with Prussia, to defeat the ambitious views of Austria. Not content with this, the Austrian Government removed from the command of their army upon the Rhine, the Arch Duke Charles, whose military talents were certainly great, who had repeatedly repelled the invasions of the French, and who was worth a large army by the mere attachment and enthusiasm of his army to him. It is beyond all doubt that he was removed, because the Austrian prime minister, the Baron de Thugut, was afraid of his influence against himself. Thus with one hand Austria prepared herself for war, and with the other rejected peace. She is now suffering the penalties of her infatuation: Her armies, both in Germany and Italy, have been defeated with immense loss; and she has, by the issue of a single day, been expelled from the whole of that Piedmont, for which she so strangely spurned the alliance of Russia. She will now deem herself extremely fortunate to settle again with the same territory which she had when the war begun."
The English government, without being chargeable on this occasion with such extreme folly, as that of the Austrians, can by no means be complimented for their wisdom. They who had twice sent to ask for peace of the French Directory, now twice rejected the offers of Buonaparte to treat; and aggravated this rejection by public personalities against Buonaparte, in both Houses of Parliament. They will now again be compelled to implore peace of the very man whose offers they spurned, and whose person they insulted.
Of the three allies, after all, the conduct of Russia, is the most excusable; though the violent starts from one extreme of policy to another, which she has discovered, are not arguments of penetration or of consistency; and the disgrace into which every person has fallen who had any agency in the former system, has been extended beyond the bounds of justice and of prudence. That country has now furnished the world with one more example, "on what foundation stands the warrior's pride. Suwarrows, nine months ago, the greatest general in Europe, whom through a long military life, victory had scarcely once abandoned on the field of battle-invested by his Sovereigns with princely titles and dignities, prayed for by name, in conjunction with the Emperor, in all the churches throughout Russia, within the space of six months is recalled home, entirely disgraced, and dies in solitude and obscurity, deserted by all the world: the Emperor himself having refused to see him."
PHILAD. NOV. 3. Extract from the Log-Book of the ship America, Capt. Swaine.
On Saturday evening, 6 o'clock, 11th October, left the Downs, and on Wednesday, the 15th got clear of the channel. On the 24th, spoke the brig Mentor, of Boston, from Lisbon, 11 days out; the captain of which informs, that the brig M c Keever, had been carried into Lisbon by the British for adjudication. On the 29th saw a wreck, full of water, without any masts or spars, had yellow sides and appeared to be 60 or 70 tons burthen, her quarter deck washed off, and supposed to have been at sea some time.
NOV. 8. "H. Q. Leogane, 30th Frusidor, 8th year."
Toussaint L'Ouverture, Major General of the army of St. Domingue, to Alex. Murray, Esq. Commander of the station at St. Domingue.
"I have received, worthy commander, your favor of the 28th August ult. and am impressed with a grateful sense of the marks of kindness and civility you have been pleased to shew me. It gives me pleasure to be informed of your laudable instructions for preserving a good understanding between the respective officers of this Island and the United States; it being the means of rendering both countries happy."
"I cherished the hope, that in the number of prisoners taken by the Trumbull, certain persons might have been sent to me, from whom I might receive some useful information. Those I allude to I insinuated to Dr. Stephens, at the interview we had at Port Republican, requesting that this favor might be solicited of the United States. They are the least culpable; the rest must abide by the consequences."
"I wish you health and prosperity; and have the honor to be your humble servant."
TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE."

PORTSMOUTH, NOVEMBER 18.
National Electors.
NEW-JERSEY -Seven.-Chosen almost unanimously by the Legislature, all "Adams and Pinckney."
CONNECTICUT -Nine.-Chosen by more than two thirds of the Legislature, all "Adams and Pinckney."
NEW-YORK -Twelve.-Chosen by the Legislature, majority 22.-All "Jefferson and Burr."-A gentleman from Albany assures us, that the list of New-York electors is composed of the most thorough going antifederalists the State can produce.
MASSACHUSETTS -Sixteen.-Chosen by large majorities of the Legislature-All "Adams and Pinckney."
To morrow the hon. General Court are to convene at Concord, and on Wednesday next will proceed by joint ballot to chuse six Electors of President and Vice President of the United States.
The election for Electors of President Vice President of the U. S. will be holden in the State of Rhode Island, on Wednesday the 19th instant.
The hon. Jonathan Mason, Esq. is chosen a Senator to Congress, in place of the hon. Mr. Goodhue of Massachusetts resigned-and the hon. Ezra Starkweather, Esq. in place of the hon. Mr. Sexton, deceased.
On Friday the Legislature of Massachusetts passed a resolution empowering the persons appointed as Electors of President and Vice President of the United States, to supply vacancies which may happen in their body by death or resignation; and directing them to assemble on the day preceding the day of voting for that purpose.
They have likewise passed a resolution requesting the Governor to issue his proclamation offering rewards for apprehending and bringing to justice the opposers of the laws in the county of Hancock, mentioned in his Excellency's speech; and for appropriating 1000 dollars for that purpose.
An American in Paris, writing to his friend in the United States on the subject of the Negotiation, before its termination, says, "Compensation is what the French cannot think on (and by the by it is hardly worth insisting on, for if they promise they will never pay) that is still one great objection, add to that an article in our treaty with England is in the way, and so tough it can't be borne, that forbids them or any other nation being put on the same footing with England."
"The pride of this nation is such, that I doubt if they will even consent to be placed on a worse footing; and I believe now, lament that their conduct destroyed a treaty that made them the most favored nation; so that with one difficulty and another, the business is very doubtful. Could we put them on the same footing with England, I believe they would promise to arrange for the compensation for their depredations. If we do not arrange, all the property now depending in the tribunal of prizes will be lost; and it is in my opinion of infinite more consequence than all compensation we ever shall get. When things looked well, two vessels and cargoes were acquitted; since, three are condemned, I will not say in consequence of the state of the negotiation, though I believe it to be so. The more than brilliant success of the campaign has been much against our friends negotiating.-Add to that the preliminaries of peace with the Emperor is actually signed and on the way to Vienna for ratification: Judge then of the hard situation of our friends. The appointment is honorable, but be assured it is not enviable; I am confident they find it painful, and in case of not succeeding probably found fault with; and I think it an equal chance they do not, and in that case I dread the consequence of party in America. I wish you had the power to make every man feel the true interest of his country, and divest himself of every liking either for England or France, for neither has a particle for us; on the contrary envy our rising greatness and would divide or destroy us."
From the 21st August to the 25th of Oct. there died in Baltimore 1197 persons; of whom 598 were adults, and 219 children. This melancholy account is agreeable to the statement published by the Board of Health of that city.
Since the latter end of May, 12 privateers and French letters of Marque, have been captured, and several American vessels re-captured by our cruisers on the Guadaloupe Station.
