POSTSCRIPT.
News! News!
(TWELVE DAYS THE LATEST.)
Yesterday arrived the ship Charleston, in 46 days from Liverpool; by which we have received a file of London papers to the 20th July. They contain a variety of intelligence of the HIGHEST IMPORTANCE.
IRELAND
begins to view the measure of Union with England in a more favorable light.
ENGLAND
is at present principally occupied at home in preparing for an invasion of Holland with 25,000 men, in conjunction with 45,000 Russians, making in all the formidable force of 80,000 effective troops.
HOLLAND
gives every where the strongest evidence of disaffection to the French and loyalty to the Prince of Orange. The Orange cockade begins to be openly assumed, and even a flag of truce with the Prince's colours, went out lately from the Texel to Lord Duncan's fleet. The patriots appear to be in terrible apprehension, and many of them are preparing for flight.
FRANCE
has undergone another revolution, which has introduced another change of men and measures. A new system of government is established by the new Directory, and an entire re-organization of all the public departments of the state has been announced.
Among the various other objects exhibited by the picture of the interior of France, the most remarkable is the fresh insurrection of the Chouans in the western departments, and of the Royalists in the south. To these may be joined the New Conscript, who refused to march to the frontiers—the plunder of the public treasures; the massacre of the republicans; the persecution of those who have acquired the national property; a plea to raise an army of 500,000 men, without a new requisition, and merely by putting in force the laws respecting the Conscript; a levy of one hundred millions of livres on the rich classes; and, lastly, the murmurs excited by Boulay De la Meurthe when he attempted in the Council of Five Hundred to enforce toleration of religious worship.
ITALY
gives promise of a speedy restoration to its ancient masters. By the capture of the citadel of Turin, equal in strength to that of Lisle, places the crown once more on the head of the king of Sardinia. Suwarrows complete defeat of Macdonald insures the certain destruction of French hopes and the entire evacuation of Italy. No troops it seems had been disembarked at Genoa by the Toulon fleet.
MEDITERRANEAN.
Lord Keith has succeeded to the command of the fleets here in place of Lord St. Vincent, resigned through ill health. The French and Spanish fleets are completely blocked up by the combined fleets, who are far superior in numbers.
SWITZERLAND.
Nothing of moment has happened here. Massena remains in a strong position, but the archduke is endeavouring to bring him to battle.
We shall to-morrow continue to give the most interesting details.
From the London Gazette Extraordinary.
Downing Street, July 10.
Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have been this day received from the right hon. lord William Bentinck, by the right hon. lord Grenville, his majesty's secretary of state for the foreign department.
Piacenza, June 22.
My lord,
Before I begin to relate the different actions which have taken place, and which I am happy to say have terminated in the most complete success, it will be necessary previously to state to your lordship the situation of the allied army, by which you will be better able to understand the views of the enemy and the movements by which they have been defeated. The great and extensive plan of operations undertaken by field marshal Suwarrows have necessarily very much divided his force. Besides the siege of Turin, Mantua, Alexandria, and Tortona, were blockaded. The passes of the Susa, Pignerol, and the Col. D'Astette, have been occupied. Major General Hohenzoellern was posted at Modena with a considerable corps: Lieut. Gen. Ott, with ten thousand men, at Reggio, observed the movements of the enemy on that side, while field marshal Suwarrows remained at Turin with the rest of the army. This divided state of the army appears to have presented to Gen. Moreau the most favorable opportunity of retrieving the French affairs in Italy. He hoped, by strongly reinforcing the army of Naples, that Gen. Macdonald would be able to defeat the separate corps of Gens. Ott and Hohenzoellern, and afterwards to effect a junction with the army under his own command; and he probably conceived that the field marshal was too distant to afford assistance.
With this view the army of Macdonald, which had advanced to the north of Italy, was joined by the division of Victor, and from the report of the French officers taken, must have amounted to near thirty thousand men, composed entirely of French, with the exception of one Polish legion. Field marshal Suwarrows having received information of the intentions of the enemy, immediately collected all the force at Alexandria, whence he marched on the 15th, with seventeen battalions of Russians, twelve battalions of Austrian dragoons, and three regiments of Cossacks. In the mean time General Macdo-
nald had fallen upon Major General Hohenzoellern, and had obliged him to cross the Po, with considerable loss. Lieut. Gen. Ott had also been obliged to retire from Reggio to Piacenza. On the 17th the French attacked Gen. Ott, and compelled him to fall back upon Calle St. Gioanni, when the arrival of the army under the command of General Suwarrows, enabled Lieut. General Ott to repulse the French behind the Tidone river, with the loss of one piece of cannon and several prisoners. On the 18th the army marched in three columns to attack the enemy. The Russian General Rosenberg commanded the right column, the Russian Gen. Foerster the centre, and Gen. Melas the left. The Russian Major General Prince Prokhorov commanded the advanced guard, Prince Lichtenstein the reserve. The columns began to move at twelve o'clock. The country is very flat and much intersected with ditches and rows of vines. It does not appear that the enemy occupied any particular position. An advanced corps of two battalions and two guns at Calleeggio was attacked by the Russian grenadiers, and the whole made prisoners. The French line retired behind the Trebbia. It was too late, and the troops were too much fatigued to make a general attack, which was ordered for the next morning.
The Trebbia is the most rapid torrent in Italy. The distance from one bank to the other is near a mile. The intermediate space is an open land, divided by several streams, which at this season are formidable any where. The French occupied the right bank, Allies the left. On the 19th, while the Allies were preparing to make the attack, the French began a very heavy fire upon the whole line. For a moment they succeeded in turning the right of the Russians at Calleeggio, and obliged them to fall back; but at this instant Prince Prokhorov who had been detached with the same intent on the enemy's left, fell upon their rear and flank, and took one piece of cannon, and many prisoners. The French did not, however, give up their object. They renewed the attack repeatedly upon the village of Calleeggio, but they were always defeated by the obstinate valour of the Russians. The attack upon the center and left was equally violent. For some time the success was doubtful, but at night the whole French line was repulsed behind the Trebbia. It was the intention of the Field-Marshal Suwarrows to have followed up this success the next morning, but the French army retired in the night. On the 20th in the morning the army pursued the Enemy in two columns. The Russians in the night marched by Settima, Montaruno, and Zena, where the rear guard of the French, after an obstinate resistance, laid down their arms. The left column, composed of Austrians, marched on the great road from Piacenza to Parma, as far as Ponte Nura. On the 21st the army moved on to Fiorenzuola. Lieutenant General Ott was detached with a corps of Austrians in pursuit of the enemy. Several prisoners have already been sent in. Gen. Ott has reported, that the French are retiring, in two columns, one upon Parma, the other upon Forte Nova. Prince Hohenzoellern has again advanced to Parma. Seven pieces of Cannon, Four French Generals, and above Ten Thousand prisoners, have fallen into the hands of the Allies. General Moreau has advanced to Tortona, where he gained a slight advantage over the advanced posts of General Bellegarde. General Moreau's army, from all reports, does not exceed 12,000 men, among whom are a vast number of Genoese. Not having been any return of the killed and wounded of the Austrians, it is impossible for me to say what their loss has been; it must have been considerable.
I have the honour to be, &c. WILLIAM BENTINCK.
PLACENZA, June 23.
My Lord,
Since I had the honour of writing to your lordship yesterday, the very important news of the surrender of the Citadel of Turin has arrived. The garrison is to return to France immediately, to be exchanged for an equal number of Austrian Prisoners. General Fiorella, the Commandant of the Citadel, and all the French Officers taken with him, are detained as hostages till the Articles of the Capitulation are executed. Field Marshal Suwarrows arrived here this morning with the main Army; he will march to-morrow towards Alexandria, in order to cover the Sieges of that Town and of Tortona. Generals Klenau and Hohenzoellern at Parma. General Macdonald has retreated with his whole corps by Forte Nova towards Genoa. I have the honour, &c. W. BENTINCK.
LONDON, July 12.
The French Generals taken by Field Marshal Suwarrows at the battle of St. Gioanni, were Olivier, Rusca, Salm, and Chaumarey, all four generals of divisions. The first is since dead of his wounds. The killed amounted to about 3,800 men. On the part allies, the loss was not less than 2,500 killed and wounded.
From this statement it concludes that the army with which Macdonald was retreating upon Genoa, was reduced to about 15,000 men, including a great number of wounded; and that of Moreau is certainly not more than 12,000.
The army of the allies consists of about 67,000 Austrians and 18,000 Russians. Near 10,000 men are set at liberty by the surrender of the citadel of Turin. Their operations will probably be directed to cut off Moreau's retreat, whilst Suwarrows, in person, will advance upon Genoa by the side of Tortona, and Ott (by the junctions of Hohenzoellern and Klenau at Parma, as stated in the Gazette) has near 20,000 men under his command, will pull forward to the same point through the valley of Toro,
closely following the wreck of Macdonald's army, which has fled by this road; so that in a few days we may expect the most brilliant accounts from Italy.
The brilliant victory of Calleeggio, and the very important consequences which must be a natural result from the specimens Marshal Suwarrows has given of his judgment and activity, far from having silenced the calumniators of that great man seem on the contrary to have re-coupled the malignity and bitterness of their censures. It is evident, that the London Journalists do not comprehend the character of the great general, or at least affect it. Nevertheless, for the information of our contemporaries, we think it may not be improper to make here one observation, in order to counteract the impertinent remarks of his rash detractors. It is a principle too true to be possible to the Russian hero, that in ordinary wars it is imprudent to extend too far, or push too rapidly forward, and leave behind strong places filled with numerous garrisons: but Suwarrows found himself placed in circumstances that required him not to be confined to common and vulgar hypothesis. All the countries he reduced rose up in mass against the French; the loyal Piedmontese, in particular, loudly called for him; and the militia of the captured towns coalesced with his troops to blockade the citadels. It was of the greatest importance not to allow the zeal of his troops to relax—to shew the people desirous of throwing off the yoke of their oppressors that we were to be vigorously and promptly seconded in their insurrections. Hence his grounds for adopting the extraordinary measure which succeeded, not by chance, but in consequence of the most profound calculations. As to the charge made against him of having neglected to march against Macdonald, was it to be performed that Gen. Ott would have allowed the important post of Pountremoli to be taken, by placing there a picket of 60 men? Besides, it was by this route that Macdonald proceeded. And supposing the Marshal had taken the precaution to secure that post, was he ignorant that it was always in his power to arrest Macdonald's progress in the North of Italy, as he has done in a manner so honorable?
Fortunately we have received the details of this important affair directly by the simple and clear narrative of Lord William Bentinck, exactly as we foretold on Wednesday last, and they have not passed the corrections of the Official Gazette of Vienna, so well practised in mutilating the Official Accounts from the Armies. We have it in our power thence to judge with precision, of the manoeuvres of the respective Generals.
Macdonald having arrived at Parma, could no doubt have effected without loss his junction with Moreau by the Valley de Toro, as in fact he did after the battle; but his proceeding by Piacenza to join Victor, shews the magnitude of the plans of the two Republican Generals. It was meant to reach Pavia before Marshal Suwarrows, to secure the important pass of the Po; to cut off that part of his army which was in the Milanese, Mantua, and the Ferrarese, and, in fine, to overthrow himself at the bottom of the Alps. They had judged of the resources of the allies in the same manner as the London-journalists. The better to insure the success of this plan, Moreau had sent off his best troops to Victor.
Suwarrows at once saw the plan of the enemy, and in the promptness of his measures, the judgment of his disposition, the chain of his posts, and his officers, we recognize his well talents. It is to be recollected that almost all his infantry were Russians, and that most of his general Officers were also Russians, not that the Austrians yielded to them in bravery, but as the affair was to be decisive, he thought it best to employ the troops most accustomed to him and his particular tactics, and not to allow the enemy time to take a position for attacking him before he was prepared, and had time to collect himself, and place his artillery. We may observe, that from the authentic dispatches, the allies were much superior in number to the French; that the enemy's cavalry were attacked with the bayonet by the Russian Infantry, and was almost totally destroyed.
These remarks, joined to those which we made yesterday morning, are sufficient to enable our readers to judge of one of the most important events which has taken place since the commencement of the war, and to appreciate the merits of the respective Generals. This event, no doubt, augurs prejudicially to the new government established in France by the Revolution of the 28th Prairial. We fear much that it will not encourage the conspirators to fly to the frontiers, and furnish the Great Nation the means of regenerating the world. If farther conjectures may be adventurous, we have no doubt but we shall be enabled very soon to announce, as well more ample Details as fresh successes in Italy and Switzerland, such as will give ample scope for political peculation.
LONDON, July 19.
The Fanny, Braine, from New-York to Clyde, and the Lydia, Henderson, from ditto to Liverpool, are captured by a privateer of 22 guns, in the North Channel.
BREMEN, July 9.
Macdonald, by wheeling about to the right, had removed the theatre of the war from the frontiers of France to those of Venice, and from the Var to the Adriatic. The idea was certainly a great one; but he lost himself without resource, from not being able to carry it through. The Austrians entered Parma on the 22d ult. and were incessantly pursuing him. They are endeavouring to cut him off from Moreau, and to establish themselves in the rear of the latter in such a manner as to deprive him of the possibility of returning to France; in short, it is possible we may be on the point of seeing the wreck of the two French armies reduced, perhaps, to lay down their arms in Genoa, and in the territory of the Ligurian Republic. The surrender of the Citadel of Turin will afford us a reinforcement of 15,000 men, of which number, I suppose that 6,000 will be sent to the Archduke, in order to supply the place of those which the Count de Bellegarde carried with him into Italy, and the nine others will be sent to General Vukassovich, to be employed with success against Moreau.
The Austrians approach so nearly to Zag, and to Lucerne, in order to turn the Right of the army of Massena, that I am convinced that the latter will not be long before he quits his present situation, and retires behind the Aax.
General Otto is pursuing Macdonald with 20,000 men, while Marshal Suwarrows and General Melas are uniting with Count Bellegarde to crush Moreau. It is reported here, that Marshal Suwarrows has also attacked and defeated Moreau. Macdonald is retiring towards the Mountains of the Bolognese.

Mr. FENNO,
Inclosed I send you a letter from the committee of correspondence for Washington county, covering a certificate from a number of the most respectable gentlemen in that county, proving Mr. JAMES ROSS of Pittsburgh's attachment to the Christian Religion, in contradiction to a false and scandalous report propagated and industriously circulated, by the friends of Mr. M c Lean's election, "that Mr. Ross is an Atheist, a Deist," &c. I have known Mr. Ross from his youth, and his father and friends of York county, where he was born, and a more religious and virtuous family is not to be produced. In my acquaintance with him, I have never heard an irreligious or indecent expression from him, and believe him to be a moral, wise and virtuous citizen, a good Christian, and well qualified to fill the important office of Governor.
LEVI HOLLINGSWORTH
Washington, August 28, 1799.
Sir,
THE committee in this county for promoting the election of Mr. Ross, have learnt where Mr. Ross is less known than here, currency is given by the enemies to his election, (the same conscientious men who supported the election of Mr. Jefferson,) to a report that Mr. Ross is a Deist.
To prevent the effect of this report, one of the committee in this town, where Mr. Ross lived more than ten years, and until about five years ago, applied to such elders and other persons, noted for their piety and regard for religion, as have known Mr. Ross during the whole of this time, and as easily could be applied to, and they cheerfully signed the enclosed certificate. It was regretted that the absence of the Rev. John McMillan, (who is the minister nearest to this place, is intimately and has been about twenty years well acquainted with Mr. Ross, and is zealous for his election,) and of the other Presbyterian ministers in this neighbourhood, who are now sitting in Presbytery, more than sixty miles from this town, prevented the obtaining of their contradiction to this false and malicious report. But it was not the prudent for the sake of this, to suffer the report to gain force, by the delay of another week's post; especially as those who have signed, are distinguished characters, for good sense, honesty and piety, and respectable for their station in society. Mr. Allison is judge of this county. Mr. Sweeney, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Ritchie are justices of the peace, and the last has been a member of assembly. Mr. Cotton and Mr. Brice, are county commissioners, and the last has been a member of assembly. Mr. Cunningham is a substantial merchant and Mr. Mercer a substantial farmer. These gentlemen being all in town at the time, were readily applied to, and you may be assured, that the certificate of any one of them, is sufficient to outweigh the report. Many more names could have been obtained, but to seek numbers was thought to be giving too much respect to the slander, and a selection of a few unquestionable characters was thought best.
The presence of the Rev. J. M c Millan, of Cannonburgh, a learned and respectable Seceder minister, who, about three years ago, removed to this country from Octorara, in Lancaster county, enabled us to procure his certificate also, and upon this we are content to rest the character of Mr. Ross and of ourselves.
We could with as much ease have obtained as positive a denial of all the other malicious reports lately propagated against Mr. Ross, and we do pledge ourselves that they are false. But we thought it not of consequence to do so, as they are, we trust, generally known to be false; and as such reports from unprincipled and designing men are usually rejected on such occasions. But there are so few means of ascertaining the credit due to a report of infidelity and a respect for religion is of such importance in public stations, that we thought it a duty to our fellow citizens to disprove the aspersions of deism.
Leah, therefore, this aspersions should mislead good people, unacquainted with Mr. Ross, the committee here request that you will publish, if you think proper, these documents in the newspapers or in hand bills, as you think best, and in such manner as you think most fit. The original of these certificates is in the hands of the committee of Franklin county.
ALEXANDER ADDISON, Chairman of the committee of Washington co.
Washington, (P.) Aug. 26th 1799.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
WE the subscribers, regular members of sundry Presbyterian congregations in the county of Washington, have heard with surprise and regret, that among the many slanderous reports propagated against the

respectable character of James Ross, Esq. of Pittsburgh, who has been proposed to be chosen governor of Pennsylvania, one is that he is a D-ist .  We trust that we have a sincere regard for truth and religion, and we feel ourselves bound by the duties we owe to both, so far as our testimony can go to remove from our fellow citizens, this obnoxious to the free exercise of our votes in favour of Mr. Ross. God forbid that we should assist in placing in such an important a station, a man defective in respect for religion. And we but obey the dictates of our own consciences in making the following declaration of what we know of Mr. Ross, from our own observation and indubitable information.
Mr. Ross was born of respectable and pious parents, of the Presbyterian church in York county in this state, and received from them a religious education. He is well instructed in the scriptures and the doctrines of christianity as held by our church; and we are persuaded believes and respects them. He lived long in this town, and long-continued in this county, and we have had good opportunities of knowing him. Where he has lived, there has not been any stated minister, and only occasional supplies for public worship. But he has contributed to the support of public worship where he lived, and attended it regularly and there is nothing known to us to justify the imputation that he is an infidel or deist, and we think this imputation false and malicious.
In witness whereof we have hereto set our hands.  A. Sweeney } Elders of Washington Robert Stockton } Congregation. Joseph Wherry John Cotton } Elders of Buffalo Congrega- James Brice } tion. James Mitchell, Elder of Peters Congrega- John Mercer } Elders of Chartiers James Allison } Congregation. Craig Ritchie Alexander Cunningham.
Since I lived in Washington county, I have had opportunity of conversing and being well acquainted with James Ross, Esq. of Pittsburgh, and of knowing his character from serious and respectable persons well acquainted with his opinions and conversation, and I am well persuaded that he is sincerely respectful of the Christian Protestant Religion, and do verily believe that the report of his being an infidel or deist is altogether without foundation.
JOHN SMITH, Minister of Associated Congregation Chartiers.
ADDRESS Of the Grand Jury of Huntingdon County.
To the Citizens of Huntingdon County. Gentlemen, THE Grand Jury of the county of Huntingdon, taking into consideration the great importance of the office of governor of this state, which becomes vacant at the ensuing election; and considering it as the duty of every citizen to use his best endeavors to procure the election of a person to fill that office, whose principles and connexions are purely American, who will be likely to promote the happiness and secure the Independence of our country, have upon due consideration of the relative merits of the candidates for that office, RESOLVED TO SUPPORT JAMES ROSS, OF PITTSBURGH.
Many of the Grand Jury are personally acquainted with Mr. Ross. He is a native of this state—a man of amiable character in private life, plain and unassuming in his manners, and easy of access to the most humble citizens.—As a politician, his character appears in the fairest point of view.—In the convention of this state, he was found among the best informed, and most successful advocates for our present excellent constitution. Since that period, he has served several years in the Senate of the United States, with equal credit to himself, and advantage to his constituents.
From these considerations the Grand Jury beg leave to recommend it to their fellow-citizens of Huntingdon county, to endeavour by all fair and honorable means, to support the election of Mr. Ross, to the office of Governor, convinced that they will thereby promote the interest of the state in general and the western countries in particular, with which it is evident Mr. Ross must be intimately acquainted and well disposed to advance.

RESOLUTIONS OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY.
AT a numerous meeting of the citizens of the Borough and County of Huntingdon, held at the Court House, in pursuance of a former notice given, for the purpose of considering the subject of the approaching Election: ROBERT GALBRAITH, Esq. was appointed Chairman, and JONATHAN HENDERSON, Esq. Secretary.
I. Resolved—That JAMES ROSS, Esq. of Pittsburgh, having been elected and served in the Convention that formed our present excellent Constitution, and having given sufficient proofs of his ability and skill as a Statesman, as well as attachment to the Government of the United States of America while a Senator in Congress, he deserves the confidence of his countrymen.
II. Resolved—That we will to the utmost of our power support the said James Ross, at the next election for Governor of this state, being a man of superior abilities, unimpeachable in his public and private character, of a mild and amiable disposition, easy of access, endowed with a sound mind, and fully competent to discharge all the important duties, of that highly responsible station, and being without any foreign or domestic connexion, will be the less likely to favour any measures incompatible with the welfare of his country, or that may tend to impede the Constitutional acts of the general Government.
III. Resolved—That from a firm and conscientious conviction that we are promoting the true interest of Pennsylvania, as well as that of the United States in general, it is recommended to our fellow citizens, to support the said James Ross, at the said election for Governor of this State, by all lawful means in their power.
IV. Resolved—That this meeting do recommend it to the electors in the several townships in this County, to meet at the respective places appointed within the townships for holding the elections of township officers, then and there to concert the best measures, for promoting the election of the said James Ross.
V. Resolved—That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the chairman, secretary and citizens present, and published in the Franklin Repository , the Oracle of Dauphin , Porcupine's Gazette , the Gazette of the United States , and the York Herald .

JONATHAN HENDERSON, Secy. Huntingdon, 21st August, 1799.
Rumours of recent Naval action in the Mediterranean have come through various channels—the result is as variously reported. It appears well ascertained that Earl St Vincent, arrived before Toulon, while the French fleet, under Bruix, was in the harbour. It cannot, therefore, have failed without fighting the English; and the issue of such a conflict, even the refined reason of French Philosopher would justify us in imagining favourable to the amphibious Warriors of Great Britain.
ADMIRAL GARDNER. It is said in the latest correct information to have taken station off Carthagena, to furnish Don Malledado with a plea for remaining in port. Should the Spanish Admiral, however, be necessitated to get once more "under way" with his 17 sail of the line—they will be "brought up" by the following English vessels.
   Guns. Guns.     Royal Sovereign 110 Triumph 74   Neptune 98 Dragon 74   Glory 98 Magnificent 74   St. George 98 Canada 74   Formidable 98 Terrible 74   Prince 98 Russell 74   Cesar 84 Superb 74   Pompee 80   L'Impetueux 72  
The above is a correct list of the fleet, under command of Sir Alan Gardner.
The recent account of the defeat of the English in the Mediterranean, was probably the dream of some Jacobin—and dreams it is known, are generally interpreted to mean contrary from their seeming.—Such dreams preceded Nelson's Victory, and some actuality saw, in their deluded visions, the cities of France magnificently illuminated at the rare event!
BOSTON September 4. The letter from Lisbon given this day is from a source of the best respectability. It accords with former rumours—and may be a ramification of them. We know the French fleet had not arrived at Genoa, the 18th June.
FROM LISBON July 2. "IT is very singular that the French should so long be able to avoid an action with the English. They failed from Brest about the 26th April, were at Toulon in May, failed again, pursued by Lord Keith, with 20 sail of the line to the coast of Genoa, landed some troops at Savona, protected some wheat vessels to supply Genoa—put into the bay of Vado—failed again for Toulon, left three old ships of the fleet there unseaworthy—have come to Carthagena, and formed a junction with the Spanish fleet of 17 sail of the line under repair from damage they had suffered, but expected to be refitted by this time; and should they venture out we leave to divine which side the probability of success lies."
From Surinam, we learn, That Captain M'Neal continued at his station near Brant-point, waiting for the French corvette, which lay in sight in the river, ready for sea and having upwards of 70,000 dollars on board. Capt. M'Neal's boats have captured a small French privateer, which he has fitted out;—and has accepted the service of the brig Eliza, Capt. Marriner, of 18 guns, which is also cruising on that station. Capt. M'Neal was under but little apprehension from the 44 gun ship expected from Cayenne.
RUSSIAN FLEET. Capt. Roundy who arrived on Sunday, from Russia, mentions that a Russian fleet had been prepared at Kronstadt, consisting of seven sail of the line armed en flute, and a number of transports, and had received on board troops, which it was reported they were to embark at Lubec, which is 40 miles N. E. of Hamburg. It was further rumored, that the real ultimate destination of this force is against Holland.
By an arrival from India, we have been favoured with Calcutta papers to march 30th—at which time the British Government in India appeared not to entertain the least fears of any hostile movements of the native princes. A large army however, was on foot to watch the motions and check any hostile movements of Tippoo Sultana.—This sovereign has received correct information of the invasion of Egypt by Buonaparte; and has dispatched a French general officer, and other Frenchmen lately in his service, with two or three Moormen of consequence, to the Isle-of-France, with papers for the Directory of France.
FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE. A fifth trial for the choice of a Federal Representative, in the 1st southern district, has taken place. In New-Bedford Dartmouth, and Rochester, Mr. Williams had 334, Dr. Savance 5.
MILITARY. We learn that a review of the Legionary Brigade, composing all the troops in this town, will be made on the ensuing birthday of the President of the United States; and that the officers of the Sub Legions of Infantry will exert themselves, in co-operation with the public spirited citizens of the several wards, in equipping and procuring additions to the soldiery who usually appear in cloth uniform. We doubt not by proper exertion the several wards will produce companies which will do them honor, and exhibit another proof of their veneration and respect for the distinguished Chief Magistrate whose natal day will be then celebrated. On Monday the Ancient and Honorable Artillery made its first fall parade.
COUNTERFEIT DOLLARS. The public are cautioned against receiving Spanish milled dollars of the year 1796, as many in circulation of that date, are supposed to be counterfeit—the differences between the bad and good ones is scarcely to be discovered from the outward appearance; the bad ones are made of copper, with a handsome plate over it, appear to have a finer finish over it than the true ones, and are somewhat thicker in the middle. We have seen only one, and that being very much bruised, we are unable to give so good a description as we wish. The plate is thin and by breaking through it, the copper is immediately discovered. [Com. Adv.]
[OFFICIAL.] NAVY DEPARTMENT, 7th Sept. 1799. Extract of a letter from Captain Brown of the United States ship Merrimack , to the Secretary of the Navy, dated at sea, August 10.
"I captured, last Tuesday, the letter of marque Buonaparte, from St. Bartholomews, with a cargo of beef, pork and dry goods, and carried her safe into St. Christopher's; worth about 20,000 dollars."
DIED. On the 8th inst. in this city, of a malignant fever Mr. Bartholomew Murray, aged about 24 years; he had been in this country but a short time, and had no connexions here; his acquaintances were few, but those who intimately knew him, were conscious of his worth—if a mind stored with useful information, a cheerful and accommodating disposition, a heart alive to the calls of friendship, and a strict and honorable discharge of those duties which were assigned to him, have a claim on our esteem and gratitude,—then we may expect this promising youth, will not drop into an early grave, without a tear from the eye of sympathy.

M. Captain Doyle ordered Capt. Fraser to go through Passage Channel, in doing which, night coming on, the brig struck on a shoal, and while they were busy in endeavouring to get the vessel off, the Captain of the privateer boarded them, and immediately ordered the crew to cut away their rigging and sails, which they actually did:—That the Lieutenant clapped a pistol to the mate's head, and told him if he offered to controul them in what they were doing, he would blow his brains out:—That the Captain of the privateer would not permit the crew of the brig to try to get her off, and robbed her of every thing belonging to her, and of the provisions, and refused them the least assistance, nor would suffer them to take their long boat, and provisions to support themselves; and that Capt. Fraser was even robbed of his watch, and about 50 dollars in cash.

SPECULATION.
AT Public Vendue, on Monday the 23rd of September next, at 2 o'clock, P. M. at the house of the Subscriber, living in the town of New-Castle, State of Delaware, a number of valuable
LOTS,
suitable for building on, being the South square of the flourishing town of New-Castle afore- said, distant from Philadelphia thirty-three miles. This valuable property is highly capable of improvement, being immediately on the river Delaware, having a number of wharfs on it; and from the depth of the water (earth and materials for wharfing being easily procu- red) there is no doubt but wharves would bring a handsome interest.
This property consists of five acres more or less, in one body; lays high, and is divided in- to lots to suit every description of persons.— New-Castle is one of the most healthy and flourishing towns on the continent; and from the increase of trade it has raised property to four times the value it was seven years past— The number of vessels bound out and in, which stop for supplies of food, &c. &c. and the whole carriage of goods between Philadelphia and Baltimore, is now through this place. The packets and stages from the aforesaid cities, &c. &c. make it very lively; there is not, at this time, one house to be rented in the place; and the number of applications for houses make it an object for persons to improve. There are a number of elegant and useful buildings now going on, a Public Academy and several private Schools. The Malignant Fever has never made any progress, and the Ague scarcely known; the number of children in this place is a convin- cing proof of the healthiness of it. The pros- pect of the river Delaware, up and down is de- lightful; as far as the eye can distinguish you may view the vessels in different attitudes. There is reason to suppose that public piers for the Navy will be built here, as vessels can sail from this place when the river is fast at Phi- ladelphia.
The conditions of sale will be easy and made known on the day of sale. Places of public worship, market and mills are very contiguous JOHN DARRAGH.
N. B.—A plot of the above will be exhibited any time previous, as well as on the day of sale. August 26.

WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAYIAD AND MÆVIAD. By WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQUIRE. To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPistle TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman.
[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gen- tlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to those amuse- ment and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; no expense has that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America. This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor taste over every other edition; and it has an advan- which is prefixed to it, and which must be ex- tremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Ameri- cans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Sam- erville, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, also to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Boston and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] may 28
TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the pre- sent time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Pri- vate Papers of that Body, now first per- mitted to be made public.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dolls. 75 cts per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern- ment.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the com- mencement of their governments, are lost in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public re- cords, and the attention of the nation, in these roa- ges, being called off from their domestic concerns to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authen- ticated public records, and renders them almost in- estimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, there- fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans- mitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors —founders of the Columbian nation. The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798."
 "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States."  "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia,"  "Respectfully submitted," 
That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, we experienced inconvenience by the secrecy of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record, and that he hath obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecu- ting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom, render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.
