THIS DAY PUBLISHED, BY WILLIAM YOUNG, Corner of Chesnut and Second-Street, JOAN OF ARC, AN EPIC POEM, By Robert Southey; with notes. "WE do not hesitate to declare our opinion that the poetical powers displayed in it are of a very superior kind—Conceptions more lofty and daring, sentiments more commanding, and language more energetic, will not easily be found; nor does scarcely any part of it sink into languor, as the glow of feelings and genius animates the whole. The language is, for the most part, modeled out of that of Milton; and not unfrequently, it has a strong relish of Shakespeare." Monthly Review, vol. 19, p. 361.
A HISTORY, OR ANECDOTES OF THE REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA, IN THE YEAR 1762. Translated from the French of M. de Rulhiere; With an elegant Head of the late Empress. [The second edition, price 75 cents.] "The grounds of M. de Rulhiere's information seem indubitable, and his readers appear to have every reason to be satisfied with his discernment, in unfolding the motives and circumstances that concurred in bringing about this striking event. "We shall only add, that we have seldom met with more interesting original anecdotes, than those that are contained in the little work which we have now reviewed."

KINGSTON (Jam.) Dec. 1. The French cartel Schooner Two Sisters, capt. Paudeaux, in 4 days from the Mole, arrived at Port-Royal on Saturday evening. Lieut. col. Porter is arrived in her, with dispatches from gen. Toussaint to Lord Bal- carres and admiral Parker. By the Judith, in 4 days from Cuba, in- formation is received, that the brig Conquest, capt. Glegg, of this port, was attacked and captured on the 12th of Oct. by two priva- teers Schooners off the Isle Pines; one of them mounting 1, the other 7 guns 6 pounders. The largest was beat off, but captain Glegg had then received a musket shot thro' both legs, and when veering his vessel, he received another through his head, and in- stantly expired. His mate soon after- wards was killed, and the vessel being close- ly attacked, surrendered. The Conquest and the privateers were lying in a bay near Batibeneau.
The French cartel schr. Two Sisters sail- ed on Wednesday evening for the Mole, with dispatches from gen. Toussaint. The vessels in the offing, are his majesty's ships the Queen, capt. Dublon and Car- naties, capt. Loring, from a cruise off the Havannah, in company with the Thunder- er and Maidstone, during which they have captured a Spanish and American brig which are hourly expected, under convoy of the Grey-H. and frigate.
The Schooner Mary, from Norfolk for this port, with a cargo of Staves and Shin- gles, sprung a leak to windward of Yallahs, and was ran ashore by the Captain, the lum- ber will be saved.
We are informed that the American ship Zenobia, that failed from this not long ago, sent armed boats into the place in the Gaymanas, where the prize to the Conquest brig was lying with a view to cut her out, but were obliged, from superior force to retire.
RICHMOND, January 4. On Tuesday last, General Pinckney, one of our late envoys to France, arrived in this city, with his family, on their way to Charle- ston, South-Carolina, the place of their resi- dence. Information having been received, that General Pinckney was expected in Rich- mond on that day, Captain Austin's troop of horse, joined by many respectable citizens on horseback, marched out and met the General about five miles from the city, and on their return were met at Bacon-Branch by captain Richardson's company of Light Infantry Blues who having joined in the escort, accompa- nied the General and his family to the house of General Marshall, where he had been kind- ly invited.
Yesterday an elegant entertainment was given at the Eagle-Tavern, by a number of respectable citizens, to General Pinckney, as a testimony of the high respect they en- tertain of his talents, and of the gratitude which the many services that he has render- ed his country, as well as the firm and able conduct which he displayed during the time he was employed in endeavoring to treat with the French directory, have impressed on their minds. Gen. Pinckney, we understand, is to leave Richmond this day, on his way home. We also learn, that the citizens of Petersburg are preparing for his reception.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14.
MR. FENNO, A Philadelphia paper some time ago, in- formed the public that a new drama, found- ed on the failure of the negotiation at Paris, was in preparation, and would, it was ex- pected, be brought on the stage, in the course of the ensuing season—I have had the pleasure of perusing the piece alluded to, and although I cannot give to it the praise of true dramatic excellence, yet I think, con- sidering the subject, it possesses merit suffi- cient to recommend it to an audience. Claiming neither the character of sparkling wit nor profound sublimity, it consists of but a few scenes, written in a chaste and im- pressive style, the denouement of which is calculated to exhibit in true colours the vil- ainous policy which dictated the conduct of the arbiter . As the Theatrical season is to commence the beginning of next month, it is hoped the enemies to that nefarious transaction will give support to a performance which under- takes to heighten its odium.—At all times the drama might be made the school of political and moral virtue, but on the present oc- casion, nothing is more calculated to ex- pand and invigorate the energies of patriot- ism, than public national spectacles—and the managers, if their patriotism is not taint- ed with French influence, will surely give it ample encouragement. Yours, PHILO-THESPIS. January 8.

NEW-YORK, Jan. 12.
By the ship Alexander Hamilton arrived yesterday from Hamburg, we have obtained papers to the 13th of November (12 days later than those received at Salem.) We are indebted to a gentleman of this city, for the following translations, which is all we could obtain for this day's Advertiser. Further extracts on Monday.
TRANSLATED,
For the DAILY ADVERTISER, from the HAMBURGH IMPARTIAL CORRESPONDENT of November 14th.
PARIS, November 5.
By a report of Genilieux, made to the Council of 500 on 1st November, it appears that serious rebellions had taken place, in a part of the United Departments, occasioned by the military requisition. He lays it was produced by the misguidance of England, and of fanaticism. The authors thereof are persons devoted partly to the former Belgic government, and partly to the Stadholder's party. The revolutionists are priests, monks, vagrants and strangers. Liberty trees have been replaced by crosses—a part of the badges were orange cockades—others had painted the Imperial Eagle on their hats. The Directory has taken the most efficient measures to punish the rebels, and has reason to expect a complete victory.
One million and a half of livres were in consequence voted by the Council, and concurred in by the ancients, as an addition to the funds at the private disposition of the directory.
They write from Brest, that the frigate La Semillante, belonging to Bompart's division, which undertook the last unfortunate expedition against Ireland, is returned to L'Orient.
Letters from the Head-Quarters of the Italian army, dated Oct. 22, mention this army of 12,000 men, exclusive of the Cisalpine legions, to be in full motion in three columns, one of which is to march to Naples.
BRUSSELS, November 3.
Yesterday at 4 A. M. the police officers, justices of the peace and national troops were assembled. Lists were handed them of a certain number of persons who should be arrested—the arrests commenced at 5 A. M. and lasted through the whole day, several of the persons to be apprehended escaped, all others were committed to the criminal prison. It is not yet known whether these arrests have any connexion with the discovery of a conspiracy, or whether the prisoners are only considered as hostages.
By another letter from Brussels of Nov. 4 it appears that in different parts of Belgium, larger bodies of rebels under able leaders and provided with cannon are assembled. General Gollaud was making preparations to attack them; mean while a number of bloody actions had taken place near St. Amand, on the Scheld.
Troops were marching from Paris towards Belgium.
PARIS, Nov. 1.
By private letters from Alexandria it appears that the ship Le Patriote, having on board all the materials for the air balloons, was stranded on the coast of Egypt.
HAGUE, Nov. 6.
The Military tribunal which was to examine into the conduct of the officers in the unfortunate battle of the 11th October, finished its session yesterday, and has deprived counter admiral Bloys de Treslong, of all his military employment, and declared him forever incapable of serving his country—besides he is to pay the cost of the trial, amounting to 10,000 guilders. He was accused for not complying with the signals of Admiral De Winter, and for not supporting him properly with his division.
VENICE, October 26.
The English have sent four frigates into the Adriatic, which blockade Ancona, to cut off the communication with Corfu.
The inhabitants of Malta, are provided with provisions by the English and Portuguese. The latter have taken a French frigate coming from Malta, under Spanish colours.
Translations for the Mercantile Advertiser.
FLORENCE, October 10.
After the arrival of 3 couriers from Livorno, the magistrates assembled on important business. It is said that the French general Banne would be here in a short time, and France offers the Grand Duke an alliance; after which he is to shut up the port of Livorno to the British, and deliver up Ferrara to the French.
VIENNA, October 24.
Our court paper is yet silent about the business of the French transport fleet at Alexandria, and the defeat of Buonaparte. Notwithstanding we have received letters yesterday from Messina to the 10th of October, which mention the arrival of a vessel from Alexandria, informing that Buonaparte's army, in a very severe engagement, in which the victorious Arabs on their side lost 12,000 men, had been reduced to a few thousand, and made their retreat to Alexandria. Other accounts say that Buonaparte is taken.
It is positively asserted that the Maltese Order established in Russia has determined to expel from the order, the Grand Master and all the Knights who were present at the surrender of Malta, because they delivered it up without any resistance. It is said that this resolution has already been communicated to the Grand Master at Trieste, who has
sent a memorial to Petersburg, in which he pretends to prove that he did not design to surrender, but that opposition would have been of no avail, and that all the French and Spanish desired it. It is said the prince of Conde is to replace the Grand Master.
HAGUE, October 27.
The troubles in Belgium, particularly in the department of the Scheldt and Antwerp have become very serious and bloody. At Mechlin on the 13th inst. the rebellious Peasants, armed with swords and pistols, forced their way into the city, cut down the Tree of Liberty, tore the tricolored Flag to pieces, and plundered the house of the Commune. The French General dispersed them, ordered two of them to be shot, and declared the city in a state of siege. On the 23d, the Insurgents came again before the three Gates.
We have not received later advices; but, according to the reports of travellers, the Insurrection in the low countries is very formidable. At Antwerp no vessel is allowed to depart, nor any vessel to go out. From the French side, they say, the insurrection was connected with a projected landing by the English. According to report, the French and Insurgents had several engagements, in which the latter lost 300 men.
"Now, by St. Paul, the work goes bravely on." Lay on good Russians may the Eternal grant vigor to your right hands, keenness to your blades, and make all your wounds deep and mortal. These bale Flemings, preceded the French in their revolutionary dance of death—they rebelled against the tyranny of the Emperor, and fought the liberty of France. They have been the cut-purses of the Empire, and never can be requited for the miseries they lent their aid to inflict on their country. Their country was a paradise— their condition most enviable. But they were too illuminated to enjoy this calm and happy state, and formed a coalition with atheists and murderers. The fate of the unholy awaits them. Their masters send them Guillotines to reign over them, and while oppression, rapacity, and uncontrollable tyranny, backed by an infolent and brutal soldiery, rush torrent-like upon them by one road, through the other you behold in continual egress, the possessions, the liberties, religion, morals, and happiness of the people.]
SEMLIN, October 12.
The Fortune of War has not yet deserted the rebel Pashwan Oglou; he has extricated himself from the dangerous situation in which he was.
By order of the Porte, the Turkish army acting against the rebels, was to form Widdin, which on the 25th of Sept. was executed under the command of KAPUDAN Pacha. ALIO Pacha of Natolie—and other Pashas, with their combined forces. At the commencement the Turkish commander gained some advantage; but his success was of short duration. Pashwan Oglou was prepared for this attack, and had projected Mines not far from the city; as soon as his opponents had reached the spot that he wished, under a most heavy cannonade, he sprung his Mines, and made such a terrible slaughter and confusion among the assailants, that the army which blockaded him, was not able to form in three days. About 2000 men were left dead, and a great number more horribly wounded; which created great confusion in the camp. Even now they cannot give a regular estimate of their loss, as the dispersed men have not yet returned. On this occasion the 31st attack was repelled. We must now wait the issue.
DONAU, October 24.
We now observe the Imperial Declaration of the 10th September, by which the Court of Russia confirms and takes under its protection the body of Baillis Grand Croises, Commanders and Knights of the Grand Priarat of Russia, and supports them in their protest against the Grand Master, Von Hompesch, and the Knights who without any resistance delivered up their capitals and island by a dishonourable capitulation; and by which it takes under its direction and promises to maintain the order of Malta, its institutions, privileges, and honors, and order its Ministers at Foreign Courts to declare that so doing it does not wish to establish any pretensions injurious to the existing rights of other Courts.—The Voice of the other Nations is invited to accord with this arrangement.
FRANKFORT, October 27.
It is very certain that from the 17th to the 19th, 12,000 Austrians have marched partly through Bregingen into Graubunden. This, however, was not undertaken until the regency of Graubunden had, according to existing treaties, demanded the assistance of Austria to protect its Independence, by a deputation to the imperial Resident, Von Kronthal. By an act signed by him, Austria promises that she will withdraw her troops when requested by the Bundner.
According to report from Feld Kirch the French entered Graubunden on the 19th. The people opposed them. On both sides there were a great army killed and wounded. The French retreated, and the Austrians marched 12000 men into Graubunden from the environs of Feld Kirch.
GENOA, October 13.
It is generally believed that the French troops assembled at Massa, are going to garrison Livorno and Porto Ferrayo, to prevent the British men of war and cruizers from harbouring there. Every day there arrive here young Frenchmen from Marseilles and the South of France to avoid enlistment.
MILAN, October 15.
The defection of the Cisalpine troops is becoming so alarming, that the Directory has insisted on a severe law to prevent it.
Two of our new Legislators have resigned. It is said that the negotiations between Naples and France hang on a thread. However it is hoped that they will not be broke off. Before the new Ambassador La Comte St. Michael arrived at Naples, the French Charge des Affaires, La Caze, had actually solicited a passport to return, for which the following reasons are assigned:
First that the Secretary of state had neglected, as usual, to forward the Passport for the new Ambassador. 2dly. Because the court and populace at Naples had on the arrival of Admiral Nelson manifested signs of friendship and joy injurious to the French. 3dly. Because lately more English Men of War had been admitted at Naples, of which about ten, were in that port towards the last of September.

COMMUNICATIONS.
To the LEGISLATURE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Strongly inclined to silence, it is but seldom I trouble the guardians of the state with my observations, nor should my taciturnity have been interrupted on this occasion if I had not seen a subject of public interest taking altogether a ludicrous turn; a skirmishing war, alternately scurrilous and ridiculous has lately been waged in the evening papers, on the subject of establishing new Insurance Companies.
I confess I receive this information with serious concern, surely the representatives of the people will pause and profoundly consider the consequences of extending Legislative aid and encouragement to such schemes of bare-faced speculation. They will certainly be cautious and forbear assisting to recall those times of Bubbles, Scrips, Schemes, Gulls, Traps, Frauds, &c. &c. when all sorts of means were conjured up to effect all sorts of infamous purposes, surely the Legislature will not be the instrument of opening those sluices of abomination again upon us. But it is represented that more Insurance Companies are required for the commercial accommodation of the traders of Philadelphia. If this be true, let the merchants address the Legislature to authorize a subscription to be opened for the purpose, upon fair and honorable principles; not that two or three individuals, known only for their modest assurance should secretly muller up, amongst a few of their own description, a kind of mongrel association, excluding or including whom they please; then scandalously state, (as in last evening's paper) that the design is for "mutually insuring for each other" when it is notorious that the prevalent design is to effect a petty monopoly for their own speculating purposes, which they vainly flatter themselves the Legislature will sanction and gratify—this is too plain to be controverted, and too evident to require a single argument. If it did, I might adduce their own practice, in already selling their rights of subscription at 5 per cent advance, and boasting of having made two or three hundred dollars, without advancing a cent—so much for these mutual insurers.
If the members for the city should so far forget their own respectability as to become the agents of such men for such purposes, I must confess myself greatly disappointed, and unwillingly subscribe myself, One of their Constituents.

NOTES
On the Impeachability of a Senator of the United States.
[Continued.]
When we consult precedents in England and English writers on the subject of Impeachment, from whence the process has been derived and adopted in America, we find it certainly established that any person, whether Lord or Commoner, is there impeachable for high misdemeanors.
"All the king's subjects are impeachable in parliament, but with this distinction, that a peer may be so accused before his peers of any crime; a commoner, though perhaps it was formerly otherwise, can now be charged with misdemeanors only, not with any capital offence."
"Such kind of misdeeds, however, as particularly injure the commonwealth by the abuse of high offices of trust, are the most proper and have been the most usual grounds for this kind of prosecution, &c. &c. because it is apparent how little the ordinary tribunals are calculated to take cognizance of such offences, or to investigate and reform the general policy of the state." 2 Woodeson—page 602.
In like manner we find the law of England laid down by Sir William Blackstone, 4 Com. 260.
In that country all persons are liable to impeachment, and no distinction is there admitted exempting private subjects from this mode of trial, though most usually it is put in practice against high officers of trust. It is the nature of the crime that is considered in determining whether it ought to be prosecuted by impeachment, and not the quality of the offender, whether Lord or Commoner,
whether a public officer or a private subject. Though Commoners are impeachable for high crimes and misdemeanors, it is not essential that they should have been committed contrary to the duties of any office or public trust. Official crimes or misdemeanors are not the sole and exclusive subjects of impeachment. In 1689 Adam Blair and other Commoners were impeached for high treason for having published a proclamation of James the second, and after great enquiry and consideration the prosecution was held regular. 14 Lords Journals, 260.
There is an important difference, however, between this extraordinary mode of trial in England and America, which deserves notice. In America, no punishment can be awarded, affecting the liberty or life of a citizen who shall be convicted on impeachment, and therefore there is the less reason to construe our constitution, so far as to except any person offending against the state, from this species of trial.
Upon looking into the state constitutions prior to the constitution of the United States, we find some of them declaring all persons impeachable for any offences endangering the safety of the state, in which they follow the custom of England; while we find others limiting impeachments in express terms to officers of the state for official misdemeanors. Of the former kind are the constitutions of Virginia and Delaware; and of the latter are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New-York.
Virginia has declared "that the governor when he is out of office, and others, offending against the state, either by mal-administration, or other means, by which the safety of the state may be endangered, shall be impeachable by the house of Delegates."
Nearly in the same words Delaware has declared, that "the President when out of office, and within eighteen months after, and all others offending against the state, either by mal-administration, corruption, or other means, by which the safety of the commonwealth may be endangered, within eighteen months after the offence committed, shall be impeachable by the house of Assembly before the Legislative Council." In these constitutions a time is limited, within which their impeachment shall be commenced, the crime is generally described for which there may be an impeachment, viz. mal-administration, corruption, or other means endangering the state and under these provisions, all persons are impeachable. This was placing impeachment as it ought to stand, upon principles of sound reason and general policy, and as it was practiced in that country from whence it has been brought into this. Conformable to these ideas so reasonable and proper in themselves, this kind of prosecution has been recognized and provided in the constitution of the United States.
New-Hampshire has declared that "the Senate shall be a court with full power and authority to hear, try and determine all impeachments made by the House of Representatives against any officer or officers of the state for bribery, corruption, mal-practice, or mal-administration in office," &c.
Massachusetts has declared that "the Senate shall be a court with full authority to hear and determine all impeachments made by the House of Representatives against any officer or officers of the Commonwealth, for misconduct and mal-administration in office." New-York to the like effect.
These states it is admitted have imposed limitations and restrictions relative to impeachments, which they deemed necessary and proper, and because they have provided these limitations and restrictions, it is inferred that without them, all persons would have been liable there to impeachment for offences endangering the state.
The convention who formed the constitution of the United States are presumed to have understood not only the common law doctrine relative to impeachment, but the differences which existed in the constitution of several states on this subject. Having omitted words of limitation, as to persons, it is presumable they meant that no such restrictions should exist, as were to be found in the state constitutions of Massachusetts, New-Hampshire and New-York.
In some states their constitutions are silent upon impeachments, and do not embrace the subject at all, unless the express adoption of the common law should be supposed to embrace it imperfectly.
Subsequent to the constitution of the United States, several states, viz. Pennsylvania, Kentucky, South-Carolina, have formed new constitutions. It is remarkable that they have copied strictly from the words of the Federal Constitution respecting impeachments, so far as they go; and have added a clause declaring the governor and all the civil officers to be liable to impeachment for misdemeanors in office, by which an implication is raised, that impeachment is restrained to officers and for official misdemeanors only. This may have been the intention and may be a reasonable implication; but if so, it affords a strong argument that the constitution of the United States which has not any such clause, has not limited impeachments to officers and for official misdemeanors.
This view of the English law and of the state constitutions has been taken for the purpose of illustrating the doctrine which was advanced relative to the impeachability of any person under the constitution of the United States. If it does not afford conclusive, it certainly affords corroborative arguments of the truth of that proposition.
We are happy to announce to the public, the arrival of THOMAS ADAMS, Esq., the third son of our beloved President, in the Alexander Hamilton, from Hamburg. We give him a cordial welcome to his native shores, and we congratulate our country on the return of one of her most promising sons. [Daily Adv.]
DIED—On Friday evening last, Mr. TERENCE HENRY O'NEIL, late of Baltimore.

ARRIVED, Days. Ship Alexander Hamilton, Clark. Ham- [burgh 46 Orlandon, Laughton, Copenhagen 40 Joseph, Bool, Cadiz 64 Three Friends, Billington, Bremen Sch. Active, Almy, Savannah 22 Sloop Gen. Green, Price, Delaware—
The Alexander Hamilton, spoke the ship Hiram, Whitlock, 14 days from Boston, bound to Liverpool Jan. 3, spoke the brig Rising Sun, from Portsmouth, N. H. bound to Demarara.
In the ship Joseph from Cadiz, arrived here yesterday, came passenger, capt. Hanson of the schr. Galtot, which failed from this port for Gibraltar, on the 5th September last, on the evening of the 7th she was upset by a sudden squall of wind, three of the seamen in the forecastle at the time of this accident were lost, the remainder of the crew, 10 in number, with Mr. Charles L. Ogden, of this city, one of the owners, and supercargo contained on the wreck six days, during 4 of which they were without provisions and water; on getting the foremast out, the vessel righted, and this enabled them to procure a final supply, by diving into the cabin; they then abandoned the vessel, which was filled with water, and took to the boat, from which after suffering a variety of hardships for two days, they were picked up by the brig Apollo capt. Henry Waddle, bound for Cadiz, where they all arrived safe, from whence Mr. O. embarked for Alexandria, Virg. 7 days before the ship failed. Capt. Hansen speaks in high terms of the humanity of capt. Waddle, by whom every possible kindness and attention was shewn to the unfortunate sufferers.
Norfolk, January 3.
On Sunday last failed from Hampton Roads, the United States frigate Constitution, capt. Truxton, and the armed brig Richmond, capt. Samuel Barron, on a cruise, having under convoy a number of our merchantmen bound to different parts in the West-Indies.
The Richmond is a beautiful new brig, mounting 16 18 pounders, and commanded by as brave a fellow as ever stepped from stem to stern.
The British Squadron, under the command of admiral Vandeput, is now lying in Hampton Roads.
On Tuesday arrived the brig Mary, capt. Israel, 75 days from Algiers. Capt. Israel was originally from St. Lucar, in Spain, but was captured off Cape St. Vincent by an Algerine zebec of 22 guns, and sent into Algiers, because he had no Mediterranean pass. He was liberated after 4 days detention, on paying a smart ransom.
The expedition (which we some time ago informed our readers was fitting out at Gibraltar) had failed; it consisted of 5 sail of the line, six East-India men, and of several new constructed brigs with sliding keels; they carry with them 4000 men. It was understood they were to be joined in a certain latitude by some ships from England; the whole to be under the command of Sir Sidney Smith.
