LATE AND IMPORTANT Intelligence from Europe.
From the London Star, of Sept. 29, received by the ship Poulbrook, from Scotland, arrived at B. ton.
Best Prospect of Peace.
The General in Chief to his Royal Highness the Archduke John, commanding the Austrian army.
Head Quarters, Nymphenbourg, Sept. 18, in the 8th year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
General in Chief.
I HAVE this instant received by the Telegraph the answer of the government to the dispatches of which its Courier was the bearer from Vienna. I cannot communicate to you in a more satisfactory manner the orders which it has transmitted to me, than by literally transcribing them. "Announce to the Commander in Chief of the Austrian army, that the Emperor refuses to ratify the preliminaries of Peace, and that you are compelled to recommence hostilities. You may, however, consent to an armistice for a month, if the enemy instantly surrenders to you places of security. — M. de Lehrbach is immediately to be furnished with passports." You see, General, that the intentions of the First Consul are conspicuously manifested in favour of peace, since the renewal of hostilities depends only on the ratification of the Treaty of Preliminaries concluded with M. de St. Julien; and that he thinks it his duty not to expose himself to endless diplomatic discussions without securities for the sincerity of our enemy's intentions. I have charged the General of Brigade Laholire, to proceed to the advanced posts of the army under my command, for the purpose of requiring of you the places of security for which new conjunctures justify us in making the demand. — Should the propositions which he has to submit to you be rejected, hostilities will be resumed after to-morrow, at break of day (the Third Complementary Day, Sept. 20.) — I beg your Royal Highness will receive the assurance of the high consideration with which I am, &c. A true Copy) Signed, MOREAU.
Convention for a Prolongation of the Suspension of Arms between the French army of the Rhine and the army of his Imperial Majesty in Germany.
The Count de Lehrbach, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty, with his army in Germany, and the Baron de Lauer, General of the armies of his Majesty on the one part, and the General of Brigade of the French army at the Rhine, M. de Laholire, on the other part, respectively charged with full powers necessary to conclude and sign a Convention relative to a prolongation of the suspension of arms, have agreed to the following articles:
 Article 1. His Imperial Majesty and King, in consequence of the demand of the First Consul of the French Republic, and with a view of giving a proof of his desire to check the calamities of war, consents that the places of Philippsburg, Ulm, and the fortresses which depend upon it, with the place of Ingolstadt, which are comprehended within the line of demarcation, fixed by the Convention of the 15th of July last (the 26th Messidor,) shall be given up to the disposition of the French army, as a pledge of his intentions.  2. The garrisons in the places shall freely depart with every thing belonging to them, and join the Imperial army in Germany.  3. The evacuation of the above places, both with respect to the troops and military stores of all kinds, is to take place within the space of ten days at farthest. For that purpose, there shall be furnished by the French army all the conveniences and facilities in their power to transport the articles of every kind, which shall be defrayed at the expense of his Majesty the Emperor and King. With respect to the possession of the places, there shall be delivered to the disposition of the French army in the course of five days, one of the posts on the grand communications. — The choice shall be determined by Delegates who shall be immediately sent with the utmost dispatch, to ascertain the state of it.  4. The military stores, provisions and the military waggons shall be equally evacuated, as shall the artillery, with the exception of that of the Empire. The latter shall be ascertained and certified by Deputies named to that effect.  5. The mode of the conveyance and evacuation of these places shall be determined with the shortest delay by a particular Convention, as well as the evacuation of the sick who cannot be sent off with the garrison.  6. In order to carry into effect the above-mentioned regulations, there shall be a prolongation of the armistice, and suspension of hostilities between the army of his Imperial Majesty and King, and his allies, and the army of the French Republic on the Rhine, of forty-five days, to commence from to-morrow, in which are to be comprehended fifteen days, to serve as notice for the resumption of hostilities, should they take place.  7. The Commander in Chief of the army of the Rhine engages to procure the immediate cessation of hostilities, with respect to the army of the French Republic in Italy, should the renewal of them have taken place.  8. The line of demarcation fixed by the Convention of the 15th of July last (26th Messidor,) is preserved in all its details under the modifications in the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th articles, as before and hereafter revised.  9. The French army of the Rhine shall fall back and take a position between the two banks of the Iser, and the Imperial army of Germany shall take post on both 
banks of the Iser, each at the distance of 3000 toises, whether from these rivers or the places situated on their course. A chain of advanced posts shall only be placed on the line of demarcation, as fixed by the Convention of the 15th of July last (26th Messidor.)
10. The dispositions of the said Convention shall be executed in every arrangement that is not contrary to the present. The 8th article of the Convention of the 15th of July, is not only applicable to the inhabitants of the places above mentioned in all its points, but the Commander in Chief is at the same time invited to take into his consideration the situation to which the inhabitants have been reduced by the calamities of war.
11. The present Convention shall be dispatched by couriers to all the Commanders of Corps of the respective armies, both in Italy and Germany with the greatest expedition, that hostilities may not only be continued suspended, but that the articles of it may be executed immediately within the term absolutely necessary, with respect to the different distances.
12. Deputies shall be appointed by the Commanders in Chief of both armies, in order to carry into effect the articles of the present Convention.
Concluded, duplicates being interchanged at Hohenlinden, the 20th Sept. (third Complementary Day of the year 8.)

PARIS, 1 Vendémiaire, Sept. 23. Note communicated by the Minister of the Interior to the Citizens assembled in the Temple of Mars, for the purpose of celebrating the festival of the Republics. The First Consul to the public Functionaries, sent from the Departments.
"Preliminaries of Peace were signed at Paris on the 28th of July, between citizen TALLEYRAND, Minister of Exterior Relations, and the Count St. JULIEN. These were ratified within twenty-four hours by the Consuls. Citizen DURC was charged with conveying them to Vienna. The intrigues of the faction hostile to Peace, which still appeared to enjoy some credit there, prevented the Emperor from ratifying them. The motive of this refusal was stated to be that of a Note from the King of England, demanding to have his Envoys admitted to the Congress of Luneville, conjointly with the Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor. From that moment the Government was obliged to break the Armistice, that the remainder of the autumn might not be lost in idle conferences. Gen. MORAU was ordered to acquaint the General of the enemy with the preliminaries, the same that appeared in the Official Journal; and to inform him, that if they were not ratified within 24 hours, or if the Emperor wanted for their explanations, the three garrisons of Ulm, Ingolstadt and Philippsburg, should be given up to the French army, otherwise hostilities should be recommenced. The Government has also informed the King of England that it sees no inconvenience in admitting his Envoys to the Congress of Luneville, if he should consent to a maritime truce, which prevents to France the same advantages which the Emperor enjoys by the continuation of the continental truce. The Government has received by the telegraph, the news that his Majesty the Emperor has consented to deliver up Ulm, Ingolstadt and Philippsburg, which places are now occupied by the troops of the Republic; and that Count L. LEHRBACH, furnished with the necessary powers from his Majesty the Emperor, is at the head quarters of Alcing, with orders to repair to Luneville. The difficulties naturally arising from the conditions of a maritime truce, must necessarily cause some delay; but if the two Governments should not agree to the conditions of this truce, in that case France and his Imperial Majesty will treat separately for a peace, on the basis of the preliminaries. And if the English party (which there is no reason to suppose) should again be able to influence the ministers of Vienna, neither the know, nor the rigour of the seasons shall then retard the progress of the troops of the Republic; but they will prosecute the war to the utmost extremity, during the whole of the winter, without giving the enemy time to form new armies. These are the principles of the Government; extreme moderation in its conditions; but a determined resolution speedily to pacify the Continent. The most vigorous measures are taken to second the will of the French people in this essential object. These are all the secret policies of their Government."
Who could describe the transports produced by the reading of this Address? Who could give an idea of the shouts of "Vive la République! Vive Bonaparte!" which resounded from every quarter?
LONDON, SEPT. 29. The Note of the Chief Consul ascertains the fact, that a naval armistice has been the principal subject of discussion in the various dispatches that have passed between this country and France. It is the general opinion in the city, that the preliminary point is already adjusted. We have little doubt, therefore, that our Plenipotentiaries will join those of the Emperor at Luneville.
A Cabinet Council was held on Friday, at which a Naval Armistice is reported to have been resolved upon; and, judging from the peculiar circumstances of some large purchases made that day and on Saturday at the Stock Exchange, we have no doubt of the truth of the report. The treaty was dispatched to Dover on Friday evening, sailed for Calais on Saturday, and would reach Paris yesterday. We know nothing of the terms, but as the discussion has been going on for a considerable time, we may suppose that the principal objectionable points have been settled in such a manner, that the Naval armistice may be expected to be soon ratified and returned.
On Saturday night farther dispatches were sent off for Paris, and every thing announces that the negotiations are very active. May a solid and lasting peace be the result!
Should the terms of the Naval Armistice be such as the First Consul will not accede to, a separate negotiation between France and the Emperor will be the result.
Stocks opened high this morning: the 3 per Cent at 67 3/4, but they fell soon after to 66 3/4.
DESULTORY SUMMARY.
The British Channel fleet has been obliged by storms to return to port — The British have evacuated the Isle de Dieu, on the French Coast. — Prussia and Russia have entered into an alliance for eight years. — The assassination of French Officers commences in the Cis-Alpine Republic. — Several English vessels having arrived at Lubeck from Riga, it is supposed the embargo on British ships did not continue long in Russia — 180 persons have been drowned by the sinking of a vessel in the Canal of Ostend, among them were 2 children of Sansonax, commandant of artillery. — The celeran operation was performed on the body of a drowned woman, which was found the following day — and a living infant extracted which is still likely to exist. — Advices have been received from Sir S. Smith, from off Alexandria July 6. He still corresponded with Gen. Menou (then living) respecting the evacuation of Egypt — and had just sent particular dispatches to Cairo — the answer to which was anxiously expected. But the Grand Vizier is ready to advance with 30,000 men if the mission is fruitless. The Cormorant sloop of war is lost off Egypt, and the crew detained by the French. — Many riots occurred in England in consequence of the high price of food, but no political object is pretended; a Royal Paternal Proclamation has been issued on the subject. — French Rock keeps its price. — The fears of the Portuguese are removed. — The Mass. Packet for Halifax and N. York was still detained at Falmouth, September 26.
President ADAMS to Maj. PINCKNEY.
It is presumed all our readers are acquainted with the affair, which the following letter satisfactorily and honorably explains.
Philadelphia, Oct. 27th, 1800.
DEAR SIR, "IT was only on yesterday that I received the letter you did me the honor to write to me on the sixteenth September. For the friendly and respectful style in which it is written, I pray you to accept of my hearty thanks, and you shall receive in my answer, all the satisfaction in my power to give you."
"Of the letter which is published in my name, I have no copy nor any very particular recollection. In general, I remember that when Mr. Coxe was assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury, he was very assiduous in his attention to me — made me many visits at my house and many invitations to his own, when I was at the seat of government, and wrote me many letters when I was absent from it. — I have also an indistinct idea of his writing me a letter, before your embarkation for Europe, expressing a great anxiety, that an interview should take place, between you and me, before you should depart, and an opinion, that it would be in my power to communicate to you some useful information, and advice, relative to the subject of your mission. As I knew of nothing that could make it necessary for you, to take a journey to Quincy, or for me to go to Philadelphia, it is probable, I wrote him something, like the letter that is published. — This however has been manifestly either so carelessly copied or unfaithfully printed, that I must refer to the original letter, which, if it is in my hand writing will be easily known."
"It may not be easy for me to give you a clear idea of the situation I was in, when that letter was written. In order to accomplish this necessary purpose, as well as I can, it must be observed, that in May 1792, it was my misfortune to be wholly unacquainted with all the gentlemen who bear the name of Pinckney. I had never seen one of them in my life as I can recollect, and knew not that there were more than two. When I heard of your appointment, I recollected the conversation with the Marquis of Carmarthen, now Duke of Leeds, and imagined it probable, that his Lordship might have intimated directly or indirectly to some one near the President, that one of the Mr. Pinckneys would be agreeable at Court. I never had an idea of any other influence, than that, which is very common in Europe, when one government causes intimations to be given to another, that the appointment of some particular gentleman would be agreeable. And I now fully believe, that my suspicion of even that kind of influence was wholly unfounded in reality, though it had then some color, in appearance. The other information, concerning the Pinckney family, had no other foundation than this: When I received my commission to the Court of St. James', I observed in it a limitation to three years. As I did not recollect any example of this before, I was at a loss for the reason of it, but as I did not intend at that time to remain in Europe even so long a time as three years, I thought very little of it, until afterwards on my arrival in London in 1785, I received information without inquiry, that Mr. Pinckney, a member of Congress from South-Carolina, had said, that "The limitation to three years had been
inserted in my commission for "the purpose of getting rid of me; that the mission to London was too "good a thing for me; and that the "intention was, as soon as I could "be removed to send a Mr. Pinckney of South-Carolina in my room." When I heard of a Mr. Pinckney's appointment, this London information came into my mind and diverted me, because I supposed Mr. Pinckney after eight years had carried his point, and occasioned the sentiment expressed in the letter, which, from the sportive, playful, careless air of it throughout, must be easily perceived to have been confidential. It may be easily ascertained, who was the Mr. Pinckney, who was a member of Congress in 1784 or 1785, when my commission was granted, and dated, and when the limitation to three years was inserted."
"On this occasion, it is but justice and duty in me to declare, that I have not at this time the smallest reason to believe or suspect, that you or your brother ever solicited any appointment under government abroad or at home, that the whole conduct of both as far as it has come to my knowledge (and I have had considerable opportunities to know the conduct of both since 1792) has shown minds candid, able and independent, wholly free from any kind of influence from Britain, and from any improper bias in favour of that country or any other — and that both have rendered, with honor and dignity to themselves, great and important services to our Country. And I will add in the sincerity of my heart, that I know of no two gentlemen, whose characters and conduct are more deserving confidence."
"I cannot conclude without observing that we are fallen on evil times — on evil times indeed are we fallen, if every private conversation is immediately to be betrayed and misrepresented in the newspapers, and if every frivolous and confidential letter is to be dragged by the hand of treachery from its oblivion of eight years, and published by malice and revenge, for the purpose of making mischief. — I am Sir, with great truth and regard, your friend and humble servant, JOHN ADAMS."
"The Hon. THOMAS PINCKNEY, Esq. Charleston, South-Carolina."
"As your letter has been long on its way to me I shall publish this answer immediately, which I hope you will excuse."
BOSTON, November 6. Extract of a letter from Santander, (Spain) dated October 8, 1800.
"I have this moment received a letter from Capt. Crocker, of the R. Dolphin Frigate, who is now in Paris, and who was captured by the same privateer that took me, advising, "That my trial comes on the 23d of September, and if it cannot be put off the ship and cargo will surely be condemned. It seems that the Council of Prizes have acted far different in regard to justice from what has ever been represented to me before, as money appears to be the guiding principle they act upon. The armistice have it in their power to offer a greater sum without running any risk; the captured therefore stand no chance. I understand that our Envoys are to leave Paris by the 8th of Oct. and in all probability a treaty of some kind or other, will be made; those cases that are not yet judged, are in hopes of a better chance. The next post will tell me whether I am of that number. Enclosed you have a list of vessels, communicated by Capt. Crocker, that have been tried at Paris, from which you can form an idea how the Council of Prizes have acted."
 "Ship Pigeon, Green, cleared with damages.  Ann and Sula, Packer, compromised for half ship and cargo.  Petapico, Hill, do. do.  Peggy Davidson, do. for 1000 guineas.  Aon, Lord, condemned.  Kirby, Norton, cleared without damage.  Hester, Morgan, cleared with damage and interest.  Columbia, Corran, condemned, letter of marque.  Woodrup Sims, Hogden, do. do.  Beeby, Gizure, condemned.  Frederick, Clark, do.  Ruby, Reef, do.  Stair, Seward, cleared without freight or damage, after being twice cleared with freight and damages, and being in France 2 years.  Polly, Tufts, cleared without damage.  Union, Lunt, cleared with damage and interest.  Republican, Simpson, condemned.  Portland, Snodgrass, do.  Pearl, Lauer, cleared with damages.  Nancy, condemned to the Republic.  Molly, Bardall, condemned. 
"Some of the above ships have been condemned, when their cargoes were acknowledged to be American. The captor of the Ruby, Capt. Keef, has been heard to boast that he cost him but 500l. The greater part of the vessels cleared, were not worth more than from 6000 to 10,000 dollars, and none but what their cargoes and most of the ships have been sold, and after they are finally cleared, they must compromise with the captors for 30 or 40 per cent."

NEWS OF OUR ENVOYS. SALEM, NOV. 6.
Arrived at Marblehead, on Tuesday night last, the sch. Hope, Capt. Swan, in 22 days from Bilboa. Accounts were received at Bilboa, from Paris, a few days before Capt. S. failed, which were universally credited, that the American Commissioners had completed their business with the French Government — were to be entertained at a Grand Feast, by the First Consul, on the 2d of October, and were to quit Paris the 8th for Havre, where a U. S. Frigate was waiting to receive them.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman at Bilboa, to his friend in Marblehead, dated Oct. 7, 1800.
"THE report here is, that the American Commissioners are to leave Paris on the 8th inst. (to-morrow) on their return home, and that they have agreed upon a principle of reconciliation — if so, it is probable they have made some arrangements for debts due from the French Government and French Citizens, to the Citizens of the United States."
Extract of a letter from Capt. J. Rust, of this town, dated Paris, Oct. 1, 1800.
"MY affairs are nearly in the same situation as when I last wrote you, except that the Tribunal of Prizes have no more to do with American Property. As the Treaty is completed, we expect all to be saved — but three weeks since, the risk was great, for of 20 American vessels they condemned 13. Thank God, there is no risk at present, on those vessels which have not been tried, as the treaty was signed to day — and all American property, not condemned, is to be given up — but it will take some time to prepare for our departure."
Extract of a letter from Mr. Gardoqui, to a merchant in this town, dated Bilboa, Oct. 8.
"By letters from Paris we learn that your Commissioners have gone away, after settling matters amicably with the French, and that the French Government only wait the ratification of the treaty by your Government, in order to open their ports to the Americans."
High hopes are entertained of a GENERAL PEACE the ensuing winter. Should the measure of a Naval Armistice take place, between England and France, this most desirable event may be considered as almost certain.
General HAMILTON gave it as his opinion, when he was in this town, that our Commissioners would succeed in making a treaty with France, and that the winter would produce a General Peace.
Rockingham, H. COURT OF PROBATE.
NOTICE is hereby given that John Pease, of Newton, in said county, has petitioned the Judge of Probate for said county, representing, that he and Edmund Pease and others are tenants in common of about nine acres of land in said Newton, lately owned by Stephen Pease, deceased; that he owns one third and seven ninths of a third thereof, that he is desirous of occupying his part in severality; that there are minors interested therein, who cannot make partition with him by deed — and praying the said Judge to cause partition thereof to be made agreeably to law.
Whereupon it is ordered, That he be heard at the Probate Office in Exeter, on the fifteenth day of December next, at eleven of the clock before noon — when any one interested may have opportunity to object to the granting the prayer of said petition.

LATE Important Intelligence.
By the Minerva, BARBER, from London— the British Packet M.ry, arrived at Halifax, and by vessels from Spain and Portugal.
DATES (LONDON) TO THE 6th OCTOBER.
Affairs between FRANCE and AMERICA.
PARIS, OCT. 3. THE news of a Treaty of Alliance between the French Republic and the United States, which was yesterday circulated as doubtful, is now confirmed, and consoles us for the loss of Malta, which is now out of doubt.
On the 27th at midnight the Citizens Joseph Bonaparte, Fleuriac, and Rœderer, Plenipotentiary Ministers of the French Republic, on the one part, and Messrs. Ellsworth, Chief Justice Davis, Governor of Carolina, and Murray, Resident Minister at the Batavian Republic, all three of them Plenipotentiary Ministers of the United States, on the other, signed at Paris, a Treaty, which reëstablishes amity and commerce between France and the United States of America. It was a less matter of concern to come to an understanding on the pall, than to revive between the two nations connections at once useful and honorable for both; the treaty effects this object.
OCT. 2. A treaty of friendship and commerce between the French Republic and the United States of America, was signed yesterday by the French Ministers Plenipotentiary Joseph Bonaparte, C. P. Claret, Fleuriac and Rœderer, and the American Commissioners Oliver Ellsworth, W. Davis, & W. Murray.
LONDON, OCT. 6. A remarkable article of intelligence which the Paris papers afford us, is of an affair which has not employed a much shorter period of time than the blockade of Malta, a treaty of amity, and even of commerce, between France and America, concluded on the 29th ult. It was signed on that night on the one hand by Messrs. Ellsworth, Davis and Murray, the agents of Congress, and on the other, by Citizens Joseph Bonaparte, Fleuriac and Rœderer. It is to be remarked, that it is singular enough, that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Talleyrand, has neither signed, nor even appears, to have negotiated this treaty. Citizens X. Y. and Z. take this time, no other share in the business; and there is reason to believe that it has been concluded at a rate somewhat cheaper than that for which the Directory formerly drove a bargain.
England, France and Austria.
AUGSBURG, SEPT. 24. It has this day been announced as certain, that the Emperor has signed the Preliminaries of Peace, but that they are to be kept secret. It is added, that they differ in their tenor from those signed at Paris.
PARIS, SEPT. 30. Letters from Berlin, mention, that the Court is continually employed in the work of peace. It appears that the Cabinet of Vienna communicates to it every thing that passes between Vienna and Paris; and notwithstanding the reports of war, the hopes of peace still continue.
OCT. 1. It is said that Joseph Bonaparte, Counsellor of State will alone be charged with the interests of the French Republic at the Congress.
We know not whether the British Cabinet will accept the conditions which the French Government has wily proposed to it; and we doubt also whether it be proper to desire that Envoys from England should assist at the Congress. But after the formidable position of our army, and the deplorable state in which the Emperor sees his own army, we should be much disappointed if the result of the Congress was not a speedy pacification between the French Republic and his Imperial Majesty.
LONDON, OCT. 4. Nothing certain has yet transpired with respect to the answer of the French Government to the proposal of our Ministers for a modified armistice: but the general opinion continues to be, that the enemy will admit of no restrictive terms. Any thing short of an unqualified cessation of hostilities by sea would be of no advantage to them, their object evidently being to equip their fleets and reinforce their colonies, with a view, no doubt, to attempt hereafter some serious enterprises against the possessions of England, in different directions. Our Ministers, of course, refuse to comply with such extravagant conditions, though they are disposed to make some reasonable concessions in this respect. The profound secrecy observed in the government circles on this subject renders it impossible at present to afford any satisfactory information with regard to the actual state of the negotiations. But if we may judge from the price of our funds, we may at least conclude that the obstacles in the way of adjustment are of a very formidable, if not an insurmountable nature.
Respecting the Congress at Luneville we learn nothing new, excepting that Count Lehrsbrach was every day expected at Strauburg, through which he was to pass on his road to Luneville; and that the prefect of the Department of La Meuse had already repaired thither to prepare accommodations for the negotiation. The Paris Journals are wholly silent on the subject of the negotiations between us and France, but the Cartel is said to have
brought important diplomatic dispatches.
The Emperor is gone back to Vienna. The Count de Lehrsbrach is daily expected at Strauburg, on his way to Luneville, where very active preparations for the Congress are making. The Chief Consul's brother, Joseph Bonaparte, is to be the negotiator on the part of France.
Gen. Clarke, who is appointed to superintend the Congress at Luneville, is a native of Ireland, and a very confidential friend of Bonaparte.
ENGLAND AND DENMARK.
HAMBURG, SEPT. 24. The following is a translation of the Convention between England and Denmark. This document in the original French, was communicated for insertion of the Hamburg Correspondent:
Preliminary Convention between the Courts of Copenhagen and London, signed at Copenhagen August 29th, 1800.
Their Danish and Britannic Majesties, animated with an equal desire, by a friendly accommodation, to prevent any disagreeable consequences from following the differences which have arisen between the Crowns, from the result of the rencontre between the Danish frigate la Freya and some English ships of war, and to reëstablish, in all their extent, the ties of friendship and confidence which have long united them, have, for that purpose, named and appointed as their Plenipotentiaries, his Danish Majesty the Count de Bernstorff, his Chamberlain and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; and, his Britannic Majesty, Lord Whitworth, Knight of the Order of the Bath; who after having interchanged their credentials, have agreed on the following articles:
Art. 1. The question, with regard to the right of searching neutral ships, sailing under convoy, shall be referred to a future discussion.
Art. 2. The Danish frigate la Freya, and the vessels which were under her convoy, shall be instantly released, and the said frigate shall find, in the ports of his Britannic Majesty, every thing necessary for her repair, according to the usage followed among friendly and allied powers.
Art. 3. To prevent similar rencontres from breeding disputes of a similar nature, his Danish Majesty shall suspend his convoys until ulterior explanation upon this point shall have given rise to a definitive treaty.
Art. 4. If it shall come to pass, however, that any rencontres of the same kind should take place before the instructions to prevent them shall have had their effect, they shall not be productive of any serious consequences; and the arrangement of whatever may result from them shall be considered as comprehended in the object of the present convention.
Art. 5. This convention shall be ratified in three weeks, to be counted from the day on which it is signed; or sooner if possible. In faith of which we the undersigned Plenipotentiaries of their Danish and Britannic Majesties, have signed, in their names, and in virtue of our powers, the present convention, and have affixed to it seals bearing our arms. Done at Copenhagen, this 29th day of August, 1800.
[Signed] C. BERNSTORFF. (L.S.) WHITWORTH.
The Paris Journals represent the preparations of Spain against Portugal as immense. The Spanish army, they say, is already ready to march; it consists of 70,000 infantry, and 8,000 cavalry. The General in Chief is M. d'Urbia. It is asserted that he will be able to commence hostilities by the middle of October: and the Court of Lisbon has nothing to oppose to such a formidable army.
Extract of a private letter, dated Lisbon, Sept. 3.
"We have taken Vigo; and, if the Portuguese accounts are true, about 15,000 of our troops have marched to take Ferrol in the rear. Sir R. Abercrombie is shortly expected in this country; his army is to land in Algarva, and from thence to march into Spain, and against Cadiz. War is now certain, according to report. The Portuguese will fight with great courage, against the Spaniards, and if the French do not cross the Pyrenees, we shall give a good account of the Dons."
London, Oct. 2—3 per cent. consols, 66.
BOSTON, Nov. 7.
TREATY WITH FRANCE.
The information under Salem head, that the American and French Commissioners at Paris had signed a Treaty, wears the appearance of authenticity, and obtains credit. Capt. Trevelt, of the brig Mentor, from Lisbon, furnishes a corroborative article. On the 24th of October, in lat. 42, 45, long. 41, he spoke the ship America, 12 days from the Downs for Philadelphia. She sailed from London Oct. 2, when it was said, that the American Negotiators had concluded their business with France and were about to return. The Philadelphia Capt. also mentioned, that the French and British had not yet agreed upon the terms which were to open the way to peace between them.
FROM LISBON.
Capt. Young, arrived from Lisbon, in 21 days, acquaints us, That the Portuguese still entertain strong apprehensions of an invasion by the French through Spain,—A large Spanish army was upon the frontiers
of Portugal, which it was feared would co-operate; but the Spaniards have been lately laid under an obligation by their neighbours who have protected several valuable Spanish vessels to Lisbon;—That the British expedition fleet under Sir J. Pulteney were at Gibraltar; and it was supposed would proceed to Portugal if that nation should require assistance; That it was generally believed the French would endeavour to hold possession of Egypt; and that Kleber had fallen a victim to his determination to evacuate that country, against the advice of the officer who has succeeded him;—That the British cruisers have lately sent several American vessels into Lisbon, and among them a brig belonging to Mr. Kimball of Boston.
[Remark—The safety of Portugal, and the restoration of Egypt, will be particular points in the negotiation between Great-Britain and France.]
Capt. Ellery, from Malaga, and who passed Cape St. Vincent, only 19 days before his arrival, informs, that a large English fleet from Gibraltar passed up the Straights about the time he came out.
NOV. 8. VERY LATE NEWS FROM EUROPE.
By numerous arrivals since our last, we have very recent intelligence from Europe.
The most important article to Americans is the conclusion of a TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP AND COMMERCE, Between the United States and France; which was signed at Paris, at midnight, between the 30th September and the 1st of Oct. No details of this treaty have been published—A French Gazette announces the event as auspicious; and pronounces it an ample consolation for the loss of MALTA, which surrendered the 4th of September to the English. The Intelligence of this treaty appears to have been received with regret in England.
Great preparations were making for the Congress, which was to meet immediately at Luneville [in Lorraine, in France; about 200 miles North east of Paris;] and which is to adjust PEACE between France and Austria. We have no accounts that Commissioners will be chosen on the part of England to assist at this meeting; nor does there appear any indication of a naval armistice between Great-Britain and France. Our opinion now is, that Peace between France and Austria will be concluded; but that the war between Great-Britain and France will continue.
Report says, that the English have recently cut seven French sail of the line out of L'Orient.—We know not the foundation of this report.
We hourly expect intelligence of the arrival of the Portsmouth frigate, Capt. M'Neil, with the Commissioners from France.
FROM BILBOA.
We have a confirmation of the intelligence respecting the French treaty; and that our Envoys were to embark for America, about the 8th Oct. They dined with BONAPARTE the 2d October.
GOOD NEWS.
A letter from a respectable gentleman in Charleston, dated Oct. 17th, says, "Accounts from the country assure us such men will be elected into our Legislature, as will carry Adams and Pinckney electors."
Southern calculators predict the following result of the great national election.—Adams 68—Pinckney 68—Jefferson 56; Burr, the residue. Pennsylvania will have no vote—of course Gz will make a choice.
PORTSMOUTH, NOVEMBER 11.
Unfortunate Accident.
Last Sunday a large new dwelling house at Hampton, the property of the Rev. Mr. PICKEON, was consumed by fire, we understand this unfortunate accident was occasioned by a small child's carrying fire, into one end of the house that was unfinished, and contained a quantity of shavings, which caught fire; Mrs. Pigeon being in the house immediately discovered the same; (Mr. Pigeon being absent from home attending a funeral,) every exertion was made to save the house, but all to no purpose, in less than an hour it was consumed, with most of the furniture, and all the beds and wearing apparel of the family.
The British Privateer Nelson, of Shelburne, N. S. is cruising on soundings, from the Delaware to the Hudson, and has already taken several vessels and overhauled others.

At Barrington, Mr. Silas Drew.
At Hampton, Mr. Jer'ch Towle, aged 94.
In this town, Mr. Edward Pendexter, aged 79.
Departed this life Mr. THOMAS LEAVITT, Jr. of Hampton, aged 27, by a short illness on the 2d day of this month. His death is a stroke of Providence most severely felt by his surviving relatives, he being a young man, whose amiable disposition and conduct, secured the affections of all who had an intimate acquaintance with him. But Christians ought not to mourn as those who have no hope; for all that are in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God and come forth. Blessed are the dead, that die in the Lord, from henceforth, yea faith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them. The deceased in his life was honorable and honest in trade: To him the poor man came with confidence; but went not away empty. The town in which he lived, has lost a citizen, from whom they might justly have expected much. Let the man of sensibility drop a tear over the grave of this young man. He was lovely—but to heaven, we trust his soul has ascended, to be employed in the services of angels. There shall death never enter. In full prospect of dissolution, his faith and hope were great, so that he feared not to die, but prayed to the Lord Jesus to shorten his time, and give him an easy passage. Let weeping parents cease to weep, when they see such triumphs of faith and hope, and hear such pious strains of trust in God,—and may these comforts wipe the tears from the eyes of an affectionate wife and dear child. Be ye also ready, (would I say to all that read) for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh.
