SELECTIONS
FROM LONDON PAPERS, (THE TIMES), PER THE PACKET.
LONDON, April 19.
Yesterday afternoon arrived the mail from Hamburg, due on Wednesday; and we have the pleasure to state, that the advices brought by it from all parts of the continent are of the most satisfactory nature. The French have either been beaten, or have found it expedient to retreat in every direction. We can state with confidence, that we have later advices from the Continent, than also any person in London. The following is the general outline of the news:—
On the 27th and 31st ult. the French were completely beaten near Verona, by General Kray. The object of the French was to get possession of Verona and Legnano, the bulwarks of the Venetian territories; but they were repulsed with great loss in both attacks. We have given General Kray's official letters on the subject in our private correspondence.
It is reported that Ancona is taken by the Turks and Russians.
The first columns of the Russians have already advanced into the Venetian Territory.
We have the pleasure to inform our readers, that the French were obliged to evacuate the Tyrol on the 28th ult. for fear of being turned by the Austrians, who entered Schaffhausen on the 30th. The following private letter from Inspruck, dated on that day, gives a very particular account of the situation of affairs in that quarter:—
"Inspruck, March 30." At an early hour this day we received the agreeable news that the French had abandoned the Upper Inthall, into which they had penetrated, and have retreated towards Engadine. At Finstermuntz they burnt down the bridge, in order to cover their retreat. The victory of the Archduke, the movements of General Hotze upon their rear; the unsuccessful attack of General Massena at Feldkirch, and lastly, the late rising in the Lower Inthall, of about 18,000 men, of whom 24 companies are sharpshooters, are the cause of this retreat. General Bellegarde remains with 15,000 men in Vintschgau: General Laudon has met him with the remains of his corps that had been beaten on the 26th."
If, as it has been asserted, the object of General Jourdan was to draw the Archduke towards the Rhine, in order to give general Massena an opportunity of forcing his way into the Tyrol, he has been completely foiled; for we find that his Royal Highness, instead of pursuing the French through the defiles of the Black Mountains of Suabia, has bent his course towards Switzerland, which country is bordering on a state of insurrection against the mother Republic. The Helvetic directory having proposed to declare war against Austria, the commission appointed to make a report on the subject, suggested the propriety of delay; and the youths of Switzerland having also been ordered to the frontiers, refused to march. Our letter states as a report, that General Hotze has actually entered the Canton of Zurich, to turn the French army under Massena on one side, while the Archduke penetrates into Switzerland by way of Schaffhausen and Constance. We expect in a short time to hear that the old and good government of the Swiss Cantons is re-established.
Nor are the affairs of the French more prosperous on the Rhine. Although we cannot trace that the Austrians have pursued them, it appears now to be decided, that the whole of Jourdan's army should recross the Rhine. It has already begun to abandon the passages of the Black Forest, and to retreat into the plain on the side of that river. General Jourdan arrived on the 24th at Strasbourg with General Ernouf. He has resigned his command, and is to be succeeded by Joubert or Massena. The Austrians have driven away the posts from Hornberg. The Head-quarters of the French are to be immediately removed to Strasbourg.
At length the Congress at Rastadt is dissolved. Count Metternich, the Emperor's minister plenipotentiary, left that place on the 30th declaring all negotiation to be at an end.
Colonel Crauford is arrived at Hamburg, on his way to the Head-Quarters of the Archduke.
The Cruiser brig, which arrived on Wednesday at Yarmouth, from the coast of Holland, brings intelligence that a squadron of Dutch ships of war, consisting of one sail of the line, and five frigates, was preparing to sail on a secret expedition; in consequence of which the following men of war will put to sea immediately:—the Ganges, commodore M'Douall; America, Glatton, and Monmouth; the Scorpion sloop, Narcissus brig, and a cutter.
The Austrians and French have agreed to an exchange of prisoners, which is to take place without delay.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Lucerne, March 29.
"It was proposed this day by our Directory to declare war against Austria, but the Commission appointed to take the report on that measure suggested the propriety of waiting until all the preparations for war were completed before its declaration should be agreed to. Every thing has been in a state of activity here for some days past. The Directory sent orders to the Commanders of the Militia of Basel, Zurich, Schaffhausen, &c. &c. to repair to the Rhine, and remain there, under the command of General Keller at the disposition of the French Generals."
Italo ordered General Keller, on the 27th, to break down or burn up the bridges of the Rhine on the frontiers of Switzerland. General Nouion has been ordered to occupy the Frickthal, and to guard the bridges of Rhenfeld and Laufenburg.
"Basle, March 31." General Massena has published an official account of the successes obtained by General Lecourbe's corps. It is dated Coire, March 28, and is addressed to the French Army, in Switzerland.—All the Citizens from the age of 45 to 60 years, were assembled here yesterday, and had their names enrolled to be organized to be employed in the service of the Police."
"Basle April, 2." The approach of the Austrian Army has inspired the enemies of the present system with courage and confidence. All the young men have been ordered to repair to the frontiers, but they have refused in several cantons, particularly in that of Berne, and declare that Switzerland is not at war with any power. In other parts the officers and soldiers have declared that they would defend their country to the last drop of their blood, but that they would not go beyond the frontiers. A part of the picked men who had been sent thither have returned. The refusal of the Legislative Body to declare war against Austria is considered as very important, and the insurrection in the Cantons of Glaris and Appenzel is not less entitled to notice.
"Venice March 29." The following is an official letter from General Kray, giving an account of the battle at Legnano:
"Legnano, March 26, 11 o'Clock at Night." The enemy attacked me early this day with great impetuosity; but I have repulsed them with considerable loss. The French General Devins has been killed, and General Serovin wounded. The prisoners, who have already been brought in, consist of two chiefs of battalions, 20 officers, and more than 500 soldiers. Fifteen pieces of cannon, and as many ammunition wagons, have also fallen into our hands. Fifteen hundred Frenchmen lie dead upon the field of battle. We have also a considerable number of killed and wounded. The enemy have been entirely dispersed, and pursued in their flight from Legnano to Angeri and Cerrà. General Baron Von Kbaitzen writes me word from Verona, that he has been attacked by General Scherer, but made a successful resistance. I am setting out for that place with the greatest part of my troops, as I suppose that the enemy will renew their attacks.
(Signed) "KRAY."
"Inspruck, April 4."
The following official Letter is written by General Kray from the "Head-Quarters at Verona, March 23." Yesterday the enemy, with the two divisions of Le Serurier and Victor, endeavoured to make a fourth attack upon positions along the Adige. They pressed forward with great impetuosity over that river. Their plan in this hazardous attempt was, to force the army that lay behind Verona to retreat towards Vicenza and thus to seize upon Verona and Legnano, as the barriers of the Venetian territory. But Generals Erblick, Lattermann, Elmitz, and Gottscheb advanced against them in a determined manner, and drove them entirely across the Adige. The enemy, from a fear of being pursued, broke down the bridges above Verona immediately after passing them, by which means their rear, consisting of 1300 men, was cut off; 800 of these were made prisoners, and the rest whithered towards the Tyrolean Hills, where they will scarcely ever arrive. Among the prisoners are several Staff and other Officers. We have only had 200 men wounded, and very few have been killed. The Horse Artillery performed extraordinary services.
(Signed) "KRAY."
"Suabia, April 4."
The Archduke Charles is pushing on with the principal part of his forces towards Switzerland, and will attempt to force a passage into that country between Constance and Schaffhausen, as soon as all his military arrangements in Suabia shall have been settled. He has transferred his head-quarters from Stockach to Liptingen. The Austrians promise themselves great advantages from the proclamation of the Archduke, which is to be published the moment they enter Switzerland. It does not appear, however, that they have yet reached Schaffhausen as had been stated. The bridge of that town on the Rhine has been broken down by the French.
"P. S.—The Austrians entered Schaffhausen on the 30th of March."
"Rastadt, April 4."
While it is reported at Strasbourg that the French army is only waiting for numerous reinforcements from the interior, to advance into Suabia, we hear at this place, that its head-quarters, which were last at Gengenbach, are removing to Strasbourg. The chief part of the staff is at Offenburg, and some of the troops are on their march to Kehl. General Jourdan is indisposed. His adjutant Legrand lost an arm, and a foot in the action of the 25th, and Gen. Compere had both feet carried off by a cannon ball. A patrol of Red Mantles having advanced yesterday to Gengenbach, were taken prisoners."
"Frankfort, April 5."
Citizen Bacher and his Secretary set out from Rastadt yesterday for Bernadotte's army.
A considerable degree of discontent has manifested itself at St. Gall, in consequence of the design which had been formed to march the militia out of the country."
"The Hague, April 9."
It is once more in agitation here to put the Batavian troops into a state of activity for the purpose of relieving the French troops in Cologne and Coblenz. They cannot, however, march before the end of the month.
The prize-master on board the Swedish ship captured by a French privateer, and which ran ashore at the village of Noordwyk, has been arrested for having plundered the passengers.
The French minister Lombard, who was at Amsterdam last week, returned again to that place yesterday. It is generally supposed that his object is to raise supplies there for his government."
"Hamburg, April 13." It is said that Gen. Hotze has entered the Canton of Zurich, but this report wants confirmation.
We learn from unquestionable authority, that the French have evacuated the country of Tyrol.
The blockade of Philipsburg is commanded by Gen. Darnaud. His headquarters are at Schwenzingen.
The most recent news from the Austrian army in Italy states, that the French have been repulsed with considerable loss in the late actions near Verona."
"Constantinople, March 9."
The Tartars who were charged with the office of bringing the head of the unfortunate Hangerli, late Hospodar of Wallachia, to this capital, were remarkably expeditious in their journey. They performed the journey to Constantinople in three days and some hours. The head was exposed on a silver dish at the gate of the Seraglio, and an inscription was set up in the following words:—"Violator of the law, perfidious to his country, and the tyrant of his principality." The Turks state, that this prince had extorted from the Wallachians no less than eight millions of piastres, and was engaged in a traitorous correspondence with Passwan Oglou. His riches have been seized and confiscated, and when the Grand Seigneur passed by the head; as he was going on horseback to the grand Mosque, he could not conceal his indignation at the sight but exclaimed—"I thought him a man, and he proved himself a monster." The head of a Subaltern officer, a favorite of the Captain Pacha, was also exposed. At the commencement of the week, several transports under convoy of some ships of war with the Russian and Turkish flags, and 5000 chosen troops on board, failed from the canal. It is generally understood that this force is destined to act against the French in Egypt, though some politicians pretend, that it is to land in Calabria to assist the King of Naples. What tends to confirm the latter opinion is, that M. Ludolf, his Sicilian Majesty's Minister, has had several conferences with the Reis-Effendi, the object of which was to solicit assistance for his master. He was supported in his solicitations by the Russian and English Ambassadors.
It is stated with confidence that the person who set fire to the Selim, a first-rate has been apprehended by the police. He had a belt full of Louis d'ors, and confessed he had bribed by the French to set the ship on fire. His punishment will be dreadful. The French prisoners here have murdered one of their countrymen. He was 78 years old, and having cursed the revolution for the miseries it had produced, his companions beat him to death. They are all in irons, and will be punished without exception."
"Stockach, March 31."
The battle of the 25th, as well as that which took place on Easter Monday, was fought in our neighbourhood. There was a dreadful carnage. The killed and wounded on both sides amounted to 10,000. The French, during the engagement, carried away about 600 waggon loads of killed and wounded. But from 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when they began to give way, they had no more time to carry off any more. The prince of Furstenberg, who was killed by a musket shot, and the prince of Anhalt Bernberg were buried here. The latter could not, in the beginning, be found anywhere. It was thought he had been taken prisoner; and accordingly a trumpeter was sent to the French, who could give no account of him. The next day one of his servants found the body in a wood under another dead body. Our town has suffered little, but the neighbourhood has very considerably during the retreat of the French. The army of Jourdan has so drained the fourth west part of Suabia of provisions and forage, that the army of the Archduke in its pursuit will be obliged to have all those necessaries carried after it. This will retard his progress very much.
"Ulm, April 3."
We have here a proclamation from the Archduke to his army, in which he thanks them for the saloon they displayed on the 21st and 25th of March, and refers them to the performance of still greater acts of heroism.
"Suabia, April 4."
Since the corps of general Sztarray has been in a great measure united to the army of the Archduke, the whole is 100,000 strong. Although there is no danger to be apprehended, yet the works of Ulm and Ingolstadt are still carried on. The inhabitants of the latter town had, for a considerable time back, received orders to lay up one year's provisions.
"Vienna, April 3."
The same number of Austrian troops will march from Italy into Tyrol and Austria, as there shall arrive Russians in that quarter. Our garrison is to join the army of the Empire, and will be replaced by Hungarian regiments, the invalids are to join the armies to perform the service of the hospitals.
The Court Gazette of this day contains, in a Supplement to that of yesterday, the following intelligence:—"Marshal Kray had announced that he had taken every necessary measure to repel the attacks which he foresees were preparing against him by the enemy. This evening it adds, first Lieutenant Diest of the Grenadiers of Nadasi, who was despatched by the field marshal, arrived here as a courier. He sends intelligence by him, that on the 25th, all the troops being assembled in the camp of Bevilacqua, he had advanced to Legnano, in order to make the necessary dispositions. On the 27th in the morning was heard a cannonade on the side of Verona, and he was soon afterwards attacked at Legnano, where he sustained the attack with the garrison of the place, that the troops encamped at Bevilacqua might have time to advance. He then attacked in turn the enemy and defeated them in all points. Night put an end to the engagement, but the French were pursued. We have lost 600 men killed and wounded, and among the former is lieutenant-colonel count Mercantini, who is much regretted. The enemy having advanced under the cannon of the fortress, has experienced a more considerable loss. We had taken, at the departure of the courier, 1000 prisoners, 14 pieces of cannon, several ammunition wagons, and Lieutenant-General Kray expected to take many more. Lieutenant-General Frollich, who commanded a column, Major-General Luttermann, and Colonels Sommariva, Quat, and Apfaltern, particularly distinguished themselves." Lieutenant-General Kray does not give any further accounts, as immediately after the action he advanced with a considerable part of the army towards Verona, in order to support Lieutenant-General Keim, who was engaged with the enemy.
Field-Marshal Suwarrows leaves this City in a few days for the army of the Archduke, in order to concert the operations of the campaign with that Prince, and reckons to arrive on the Banks of the Adige about the 25th of this month. The Russian troops will have arrived there before him. He would not allow them to proceed upon their march, according to the arrangements made by the Council of War, as practised by the Austrian troops, and observed that they were accustomed to march faster, and that they ought not to be spoiled. This prohibition has caused no material an alteration, that the 1st Russian column will arrive in Italy about the 10th, and the others within three days of each other. The Emperor has appointed Count Suwarrows Field-Marshal of the Austrian troops in Italy, and presented him with his portrait, decorated with brilliants.
"London, April 18."
No engagement of any consequence seems to have happened in Suabia since the 26th ult. but the result of the day is best appreciated by the consequences it has produced. The French army of the Danube has been forced to retreat in all directions.
We have given a kind of official report of what passed on the 26th, it does not however state the loss on either side, but a private letter from Ulm mentions, that the French lost 4000 men killed or wounded, and 3000 prisoners, besides great quantities of ammunition of all sorts.
Accounts of a recent date, state, that on the 29th ult. a body of French, amounting to 8000 men, which had penetrated into the Tyrol, had been defeated by General Bellegarde, and it was expected that it would be wholly cut off.
This news comes from some authority, and we hope it will be confirmed by the next Mail.
Yesterday Capt. Pergonger, an Austrian officer, arrived at the Count de Stahrenberg's, the Imperial Ambassador, with advices from Germany, and soon after was introduced to his Majesty at the Levee.
Yesterday accounts were received at the Admiralty that the French had made another attack on the Island of St. Marcou. The intelligence was brought by a vessel to Portsmouth.
In proportion as the French advance when it is likely the Minister may find it necessary to raise a sum of money for the services of the year, so do reports accumulate that the Loan is to be brought on from day to day, and that the sum required is to an amount probably double to what may really be wanted. One day we hear that Mr. Pitt is to bring forward Foreign Subsidies—another day the Loan is described to be for an amount beyond all calculation—and yesterday it was reported, that another Imperial Loan was negotiating. The Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange had a Meeting to propose a Lift for a Loan.
Respecting the Reports in circulation of the period when Mr. Pitt intends to bring forward the supplies of the year, we have only to observe, that we have no reason to believe he will hasten this business, until he is able to form some accurate idea of the amount of the Income Tax, the returns to which cannot be had sooner than the middle of May, as the Commercial Commissioners only began last Monday to open the letters sent to them, of which there are upwards of 10,000. Several bets have been laid, that the Tax will produce 13 millions and upwards.

THE HAMBURGH MAIL.
[PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.]
"Hague, April 6."
Our coast was much alarmed by a cannonade which lasted for some hours near the village of Noordwyk, four leagues from this place, in the Department of the Texel. Detachments of the garrison of Leyden immediately marched to the spot, but the alarm appears to have been occasioned by the capture of a Swedish vessel by a French privateer, on the day before. The prize being pursued by an English frigate and two other ships, ran on shore, and was fired upon by the English, but being protected by the battery at the village, the frigate fired, and having done some damage to the house, failed away. The Swedish vessel was captured coming out of the Meuse, and was bound to Hamburg. She will probably be the last prize of a similar kind, as a Decree of the French Directory has been transmitted to us, which puts an end to the depredations of privateers. It orders all the Commissioners of the marine to deprive all French privateers which may capture vessels belonging to Allied or Neutral Powers, in view of our coasts, or coming out of our ports, of their commissions and letters of marque.
No measures have been yet taken to enable our troops to march to the Rhine, as had been reported. One of the last acts of the Administration of the citoyens Province of Holland, previous to its being replaced, has been the revival of the prohibition of the former titles of 'Monsieur, Madame, Baron, Comte, &c.' and it has directed that the titles of Citizen and Citoyenne shall only be used.
The Executive Directory has adopted a different mode from that of the French Directory, of terminating the administration of its Members. Instead of drawing lots every year, it yesterday announced to the Legislative Body, that the lots were drawn all at once, with respect to the five years in advance; and that in consequence of that regulation, the Director Van Hasselt would go out in August, 1799; Van Hoof, in the same month, 1800; Van Heerd, in 1801; Van Haersveldt, in 1802, and Damarius in 1803.
"Stockach, March 27."
Official report given by his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles, of the transactions of the 25th and 26th.
The Imperial Army marched on the 24th from Pfullendorf, and on the same day occupied a camp before Stockach. The right wing was posted on the heights of Waldeuren, towards Nullenburg, and the left before the turnpike bridge in the direction of Wallwies. Three battalions of Laski, that formed part of this wing were placed on the heights of Elzingen to cover it. The advanced posts extended as far as Steilingen, Augsingen, and the heights of Leibingen. At the latter place General Count Meerfeldt took three pieces of cannon and several prisoners. At break of day on the 25th, Jourdan attacked the Imperial advanced posts with the greatest vigour. His right wing had received considerable reinforcements from Switzerland, and his left wing from the Danube. The enemy marched in three columns by the chaussee of Singen towards Sarelingen; by that of Engen towards Ach; and by that of Tuttlingen and Leibingen to Stockach. The principal force of the enemy was directed against the right wing, which obliged Count Meerfeldt to retire into the wood fringed between Leibingen and Stockach. Some hours afterwards, the enemy gained the summit of the wood, which extended more than two leagues, intending by this manoeuvre to turn the position of the Imperial army, and neglected nothing to succeed. From 5 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon the enemy had the advantage, and advanced in three divisions. Notwithstanding the battalions which the Archduke had sent from the left wing to the support of the right, it would have been impossible to repulse the enemy, who defended themselves obstinately, had it not been for the extraordinary bravery of some regiments of infantry. At 2 in the afternoon the enemy were driven from the wood and obliged to retire. In that attack Lieutenant-General the prince de Furstenberg was killed by a cannon ball. As soon as the grenadiers penetrated through the wood, the Archduke made them march forward with the cuirassiers of Mack and Nassau, under the orders of Lieutenant General Kollowarth. The grenadiers were attacked as they were forming by the French carabiniers, who were repulsed, with the loss of a piece of cannon and the half of a demi brigade. The enemy retreated after this defeat towards Leibingen, but was not pursued that day, as night was coming on. The right wing retreated in the night of the 26th till the 27th by Offingen, Sincen, Engen, and Hilzingen, and the left by Tuttlingen, beyond the Danube. The French lost a prodigious number of men. The Archduke bestows the highest praise on the conduct of several generals, particularly Generals Stader, Count de Nauendorff, prince Schwarzenburgh, and Count de Gyulai.
"Freyburg, (in Breisgau) March 28."
Yesterday 700 Austrian prisoners were brought to this place, and the whole number here amounts to 2500, who are to be sent farther on. The French have had a vast number of wounded. General Compere passed through in a very dangerous state from his wounds. The French come in in small parties of 4, 5, 6, and 8 men; the infantry without muskets, and the cavalry without horses. They speak in the highest terms of praise of the bravery of the Austrians. The wounded, to the number of 1200, have been conveyed to Neuf-Brisac. The French garrison marched out of this town to day, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The inhabitants believing that the Austrians were on the point of entering, were very near attacking the French, but were fortunately prevented by the prudent conduct of the French Commander.

Vienna, March 30. [Extract of a Letter] No foreigner had ever such signal marks of distinction and public favour here as Field Marshal Suvorow . Wherever he appeared in public he was received with loud and repeated acclamations. It is impossible to express the joy manifested by the Russian troops at Schönbrunn when they passed in review on seeing their beloved General by the side of the Emperor . He proceeds to Italy by Gratz in the course of next week, and is to be accompanied by several officers from Peterburgh, who are to act as his Adjutants. Of four Russian armies, consisting each of from 40 to 50,000 men, one is already arrived in Galicia, and is to continue its march through Moravia; another is to pass through Hungary, and the others are to take different routes. The camp before Verona consists of 32,000 men, and will be reinforced to the number of 50,000. General de Chasteler is engaged in inspecting all the positions of the army.
Offenburg, March 31. Of the 5000 Austrian prisoners, stated by Jourdan to have been taken, only 46 officers, principally belonging to the regiment of Benjowsky, and 360 soldiers have arrived at this place. It is impossible to describe the wretched state of the French who arrive here. The wounded are carried on wheelbarrows, and their wounds are not dressed. The headquarters are at present at Hemsbach and at Hornberg.
Rastadt, March 31. The news of the victory which was announced by Jourdan has not been confirmed. Bernadotte is assembling his army to reinforce Jourdan, and has already blockaded Philippsburg. General Humbert is the officer who has marched from Strauburg with his division to join Jourdan.
Frankfort, April 2. When the Archduke Charles, before the battle of Tuttlingen and Stockach, arrived at Rischweiler, he heard mass early in the morning, and exhorted the people to join him in prayer for success to the Imperial arms.
The French prisoners are to be immediately exchanged for Austrians.
April 4. The French have repassed the Rhine this afternoon in the greatest confusion at Kehl. It is said that the Archduke is now marching by Schaffhausen in Switzerland, and only leaves in this quarter a corps of observation under the command of Gen. Zitray . On the 30th and 31st some affairs of posts took place to the advantage of the Austrians but we do not know what are the details of it. What follows has been sent from Basle, under date of the 3d. "Very serious disturbances have taken place at Mosang and Flawyl, in the canton of Appenzel. The Helvetic directory is in the most serious alarm on the subject, although Massena, stationed along the Rhine, and having destroyed all the bridges situated along this river from Constance as far as Basle, promises to do impossibilities for their support, and assures them of the support of the Great nation. The Austrians are expected and desired with great anxiety. At Augst, in the canton of Basle, adjoining the Frickthal and Villes Forestiers, five hundred Swiss who were ordered to march to Rheinfeld, have refused to go, and returned into Basle. The legislative body have in consequence of this decreed the pain of death against such Swiss of the regiment appointed as shall make a similar refusal, and have ordered that all unmarried Swiss without distinction, from the age of 20 to 45 years, as well as all married men under 30, shall immediately repair to the frontiers. Basle has been put into a state of siege."
Hague, April 2. The movements which took place during the last week among our troops to supply the absence of the French troops in our party that have marched to the Rhine, have now ceased. No measures having been taken in consequence of the declaration of war, and the return of General Daendels from Paris to put our army in a state fit to march to the Rhine, it is supposed that some arrangement has happened, which will defer its departure.
London, April 19. We owe to the arrival of this mail the intelligence of the taking of Ancona by the Russians and Turks. If this event, which is announced in letters from Vienna of the 3d, prove true, we shall consider it as highly important, not only on its own account, but still more, as it would demonstrate that the coalesced powers of the Black Sea mean to contribute effectually to the deliverance of the south of Italy—of all the actual objects of the war, the most easy to be realized. Private letters from Rastadt, of the 4th, inform us that the army of Jourdan on that day repulsed the Rhine in great confusion.
The Archduke, as we yesterday premised, seems too well to have known the whole mass of circumstances in which he was placed, to have in person pursued Jourdan. He contented himself with sending the corps under general Zitray, which had not been engaged, and which the emulation with which it would naturally be animated, joined to its position, rendered the most proper for this service. By entering the canton of Schaffhausen, and investing its capital, (which private accounts say he has actually taken) the Archduke Charles has secured many advantages, and chiefly that of alarming Malsena, which prevents the latter, and consequently general Lecourbe, from making further attacks upon the Tyrol.
The proclamation addressed by Prince Charles to the Swiss, and which our readers will find in our paper of this day, is exactly such as could be wished for, and proves that this prince is as good a politician as he is a warrior. We are much deceived if this Proclamation will not have the happiest effect. These indeed have already begun to show themselves, and several serious insurrections have broken out in Switzerland. The occupying of this country, from which the French promised themselves so many advantages in the event of war, will probably prove very fatal to them. They have hitherto been reaping the profits of their usurpation—the period of expiation appears to have arrived, and the Swiss seem destined to be the first to give the signal of vengeance to the inhabitants of all the countries groaning under the yoke of Republican France.
Twelve hundred prisoners of the Corps of General Auffenburgh, who were marching under a negligent escort, have had the good fortune to escape into the Tyrol. The letter which contains this information adds that the French are daily committing dreadful atrocities in their retreat.
The Elector of Bavaria is augmenting his Army from 34 to 40,000 men.
PROCLAMATION.
Of the Archduke Charles, Commander in chief of the Imperial army and that of the Empire, to the people of Switzerland. "After the two complete victories obtained over the French army, which without a Declaration of war, had advanced from its positions, which, without a Declaration of War, had committed hostilities on all sides, the troops under my command are about to enter the Swiss territory, not to make war upon the people of Switzerland, whose disposition towards us is friendly, but to pursue the common enemy, against whom you yourselves have fought with so much bravery, to defend your liberty and your independence, and whose superiority of numbers alone would have reduced you to that unhappy situation which you feel so deeply and upon which you have already so strongly expressed your resentment."
"Among the means which have been employed to keep you in this state of dependence and subjection, they have endeavoured to make you believe that the imperial and royal court had formed some projects of dismemberment, or some other views upon Switzerland. They endeavour also to alarm you by spreading reports that you would be subject to be harassed and pillaged by the imperial troops. I think it therefore right to declare solemnly to all the people of Switzerland, that his Imperial Majesty, in conformity to the assurances he has always given to the Helvetic League, of his dispositions of constant amity and good neighbourhood, is firmly determined to preserve towards them these ancient friendly connections: and also that his Imperial Majesty has no other object but to contribute, as a good neighbour, to preserve to Switzerland her independence, her integrity, her privileges, her rights and possessions."
"On my part, I expect with confidence that the troops under my orders, whose entry into Switzerland is occasioned by known events, will be treated in a friendly manner, and assisted by all those members of the Helvetic League who have the good of their country at heart, and the people of Switzerland will carefully avoid every thing which may augment the calamities of the war. Among the good effects which such a conduct will ensure to Switzerland, may be reckoned the suppression of those measures which have been extorted by hostile views, and by violence, and the restoration of the relations of commerce, and of communication between Germany and Switzerland."
"The Archduke Charles."

BOSTON, June 10. In a Hamburg paper of March 8, is an article of Paris date, 25th Feb. which states, that ROBERTOT, minister at Rastadt, will fill an important place in the ministry. In a later date from same place, we find it stated that ROBERTOT is successor to TALLYRAND as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
ANOTHER FIRE.
BALTIMORE, June 12. About one o'clock this morning, a fire was discovered by the watch, bursting thro' the roof of a frame building in Second near the corner of South Street; but before the exertions of the citizens could be well applied, the flames had enveloped it, and were rapidly extending to the adjacent buildings, two of which being of wood, were like the former, soon reduced to a pile of rubbish. The efforts of the citizens being now directed to saving the adjoining frame dwelling of the rev. Mr. Altenauer, and the back buildings of Thomas Hulingsworth Esq. and others, which appeared in the most imminent danger, stopt the ravages of the element. Fortunately the morning was uncommonly calm, or the most excited could scarcely have saved a half-dozen and opulent portion of the city from destruction. Mr. Ball, Mr. Sumwalk, Mr. Dilworth, Mr. Lufby, and Messrs. French & Co. were the principal sufferers—the three latter saving none or but little of their property.
How this fire first originated, is not, and perhaps will not be known. Some suppose it to have been occasioned by negligently leaving a candle burning in the upper part of the grocery store of Messrs. French & Co.
Forty brave Americans, were on Monday, enrolled at the new rendezvous at Full's Point for the service of the United States, by Lieutenants Edwards and Sterett—this is a strong proof of the patriotism of our seamen.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Europe, dated March 29, 1799.
"You have herewith, Sir, an Arrêté of the Directory modifying in words only , but not in effect, the 4th article of the hostile arrêté of 2d March, 1797—I say in words only , for by the 14th article of the regulation of 1744, and the 9th article of that of the 26th July 1778, and not of the year 1788, as it is erroneously stated in the printed Arrêté inclosed, the Rôle d'Equipage alluded to are required to contain a descriptive list of all persons on board, even of the passengers, and to be countersigned by a public officer at the last neutral port the vessel cleared at.—There is no kind of benefit to be derived by American vessels from that Arrêté; the 4th article of the Arrêté of 2d March, 1797, contained an absurdity that this new Arrêté amends, for by the former one it was enacted, that every American vessel which should not have on board a Rôle d'Equipage similar to the form annexed to the Treaty of 1778, should be declared a Lawful Prize;—whilst not only no such form is annexed to that Treaty (and only the form of a Sea Letter) but even in the whole Treaty there is no mention of a Rôle d'Equipage ."
NOTE —The new Arrêté of the Directory above referred to, is that of the 18th of March 1799, which has lately been published in the American news-papers, in which the Directory, after stating that their decree of the 2d of March 1797, had given rise to abusive interpretations, relative to the rôle d'equipage , declare, that the 4th article of the last mentioned Arrêté was not to be understood as subjecting American vessels to other conditions than those imposed on all neutrals, by the 12th article of the regulation of 1744, and 26th of July 1778, mentioned in the above extract.

Patent Ploughs,
TO be sold for cash by Joseph Salter at Arfon Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry—Jonathan Harker, Woodbury—and Jesse Evans, Lumber- ton.
