Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, September 24.
A general mistake has prevailed respecting the object which the French had in view in sending two corps of the army, one to the Mein, and the other to the Neckar.
The Imperial troops are withdrawing by degrees to the Brisgau, where the greater part of the Austrian army is concentrating itself.
September 26. The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday last, arrived this morning.
The intelligence from Italy and Switzerland is not important. Suwarrows undertaking no operations of much moment.
The plan of the Austrian government is, it is said to leave the command of the Italian army in the hands of gen. Melas.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 26.

In the sitting of the representative body of the Batavian people, on Thursday, third October, the president of the first chamber said, he had been informed by the president of the executive.
From a private letter received in this city, dated Amsterdam, October 15, we are enabled to state, that the right wing of the Batavian army had taken its head quarters at Purmerend.
STUTGARD, September 20.

According to letters from Schaffhausen, of September 18, nothing had taken place in Switzerland.
BORDERS OF THE RHINE, September 26.

COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED. SITTING OF SEPT. 10.
Message of the Executive Directory to the Council of Five Hundred, on the surrender of the Dutch Fleet. Citizens Representatives.
at the approach of some English vessels which penetrated into the Zuyder Zee, a revolt broke out on board the Dutch ships.
The Directory have taken the speediest measures to send to the Batavian republic all the disposable force.
To this message was annexed the Dutch minister of marine's letter to the French minister, announcing the surrender of the fleet.
Briot.—I ask why men, who had a powerful influence in Batavia, neglected exercising it for the purpose of bringing into our ports these ships.
Sitting of September 13. Jourdan obtained permission to speak with respect to the perilous situation of the country.
"We all with the same fate," was reiterated by several members. After an astonishing series of reverses, which were prepared by the old Directory and their agents.
The Batavian Republic is perhaps at this moment restored to the subjugation of the Swathian.
He concluded with moving, "that the Legislative Body, do vote the country to be in danger, and that a Commission of five Members be appointed to prevent the necessary measures to be adopted."
Beranger, Salicetti, Chenier, Angereau, Lefuge, and several other Members, here left their places precipitately, in order to speak from the Tribune, and a great tumult took place in the Council.
The president covered himself, and the Tribune and the avenues to it, were instantly filled with Deputies.
I invoke the Council and all France to witness for me, that I have adhered in the present crisis to the line of conduct marked out for me by the Law and the Constitution.
Bertrand moved that all the speakers might be heard in their turns. Agreed to.
La Marque and Quirot supported it. Bailey moved the adjournment of the question till to-morrow. Agreed to.
Chevier observed, that when the Legislature declared in the commencement of the War, that the Country was in danger, there existed a conspiring Throne which it was necessary to overturn.
Sitting of the 15th. A message was received from the Directory, announcing that the agents of the royal conspiracy were preparing in Paris, Proclamations inviting the French to recognize Louis XVIII.
Lamarque read a written speech. He observed that he saw with sorrow a diversity of opinion in the Council on the means of saving the Country.
L. Buonaparte. And I also exclaim, Liberty or Death! But our deliberations should be free from violence.
The conduct of the Council of Elders is of the most beneficial nature to the country, and why should we not imitate it.
His speech was ordered to be printed. Quirot.—I support the motion, and think that Jourdan's motion is not calculated to excite any just grounds of suspicion.
Daunou spoke at length against the motion. "I demand the previous question for the following reasons:—1. Because there is no law which authorises the declaration.
2. Because the measure would be useless. 3. Because it tends to inspire the friends of the Constitution of the third year with fears which nothing will be able to remove.
The question was adjourned till to-morrow. Sitting of the 14th.
The order of the day being read for resuming the debate on Jourdan's motion for declaring the country in danger.
Curee having observed that it would have been of little service to Jourdan to have declared his army in a state of danger when he was at the head of it, unless he had more effectual means to extricate it, was called to order by Jourdan, who wished to reply to the insult offered to him.
A violent tumult arose, and several propositions being brought forward, which were rejected, the Council went on with the discussion of the main question.
The previous question was put twice and adopted. The Appel Nominal was then called for.
Jourdan alluded to the displacing of Bernadotte, and hoped that his talents would be employed in some active way, but if his dismissal was to be the prelude of some state intrigue.
Garrau.—I dread the re-action which is beginning (Murmurs) when I see a Raderer and a Talleyrand employed. (Murmurs) I must say to all Republicans, that they should treat those who revoke re-action like royalists.
The council passed to the appel nominal on the question of knowing whether the country should be proclaimed in danger.
The number of votes was 416, of which 171 voted for the declaration, and 245 against it.

"The Russians proceeded to the charge full four hours before the time agreed on, and carried every thing before them. They however suffered themselves to be so much elated by this success, that they neglected to such a distance as to draw upon them the whole army of the enemy, in consequence of which they have lost many men in killed and prisoners, and among the latter two generals. The British covered their retreat, and in so doing they also suffered a good deal."

The "Calm Observer" is exerting all the energy of body and mind which the violence of his passion still permits him to retain, in endeavours to re-instate himself in the station from which the just resentment of the Federalists had driven him.

ADDRESS TO A
PIPE OF GIN,
By Jasper Dwight,
O! thou delicious-flav'd, wholesome juice, Not less for pleasure purpos'd than for use! Source of Democracy, and source of joy— Come let me taste thee—Gin can never cloy.
What tho' thy face be pale like vulgar water, Tho' but a substance wro't of higher matter, Ah! as't've quaff'd the town, behind the door, While watchful tapster chalk'd up score on score, How has my brain clate with transept ran Thro' all the details of the rights of man,
The operation of the draught occasions him to fall down drunk in the street, where the Muse of verse left him.
The federalists must not divide. The more a government is free and popular in its form, the more is its fate is entrusted to the sense and virtue, in other words, to the federalism of the citizens.
[Com. Gaz.]
If Pennsylvania had chosen, one after the other, two water-drinking Governors, there might have been some reason for accusing her as many still do, of ant federalism and opposition to the excise law of Congress.

It is not surprising to hear the voice of Jacobinism raised against the excellent "Discourses on Davilla."

FIRST DAY,
SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
THE Board of Visitors, appointed by the Society for the institution and support of the First Day, or Sunday Schools, beg leave to inform their fellow citizens, that they are opened, at the usual places, for the reception of Scholars, at such hours as will not interfere with those dedicated to Divine Worship.
The utility of this Institution has been much greater than could have been expected, and with additional funds, might be much more extended.
The children of the indigent and laborious poor, are superintended by reputable and pious teachers, are furnished with books, pens, ink and paper: and are thus rescued from savage ignorance, acquire habits of order and industry, and hereby qualified to be good servants, good apprentices, and we hope, they will become good masters and good citizens.
A School, for Girls, is taught by JOHN ELY, Third, above Mulberry-street, back of the Presbyterian Church; one for Boys, by SILAS DIXON, in Cherry-street, between Third and Fourth-streets; and another for Boys, by THADDEUS BROWN, in Front, nearly opposite to Shippen-street, in Southwark.
The Schools are open from 7 to half past 9 o'clock, in the forenoon, and from 1 till 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Just Published, A COMPENDIOUS SYSTEM Of Practical Surveying and Dividing of land; briefly comprized under the following heads, viz.
TWENTY-THREE Geometrical Defini- tions, eleven Geometrical Positions, ex- hibiting to view the properties and depen- dencies of triangles; followed by problems and examples preparatory to Trigonometry, heights and distances. Then fifteen problems and ex- amples necessarily previous to calculating a Sur- vey; succeeded by seven surveys, the area of the fourth is found geometrical, and of the whole number by difference of latitude and de- parture, showing how to take an inaccessible boundary, find the bearing and distance of the closing line without running it, also the dis- tances to an inaccessible corner from the two adjacent corners, followed by examples of off- sets on to winding streams of water, showing how to ascertain the area without the trouble of measuring the windings with chains and in- struments—a crooked water course shortened, and a quantity of land on each side found by these offsets.
Ten examples of dividing land, with many subdivisions, leading into the most critical cir- cumstances that can occur in practice; an example of Intersections, and an example show- ing how the bearings of a field may be truly taken where the needle is attracted, altho' the attraction may vary in quantity and denomi- nation at every station; examples showing the method of measuring by the chain only. All the rules are clear and explicit. This work con- tains the tables of difference of latitude and de- parture and of logarithms.

The holders of registered warrants, shall on Monday the 17th day of February, in the year 1800, in the order of which the priority of loca- tion shall be determined by lot as aforesaid, person- ally, or by their agents, designate in writing at the office of the Register of the Treasury, the particu- lar quarter townships elected by them respectively, and such of the said holders as shall not designate their locations on the said day, shall be postponed in locating such warrants to all other holders of registered warrants.

TERMS
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia,
FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE
JOURNALS OF CONGRESS,
FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the present 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.
TERMS.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 300 pages nearly bound and lettered. Uniformly 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 dollars 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print man- ner more than the number subscribed for, a consider- able reduction on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain above 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 generations, to preserve the public re- cords, and the actions of the nation, in those rude ages, being called 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."

"The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia,"
"Respectfully represents,"
"That having, in our respective evacuations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity 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, to that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase co- pies of that record for themselves."

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the short and pleasant road of
Burlington, Newtown, Scotch-Plains, Spring-
field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the popula- rity of the country through which it pas- ses, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Tho- rough Fare from Philadelphia to New York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained.—There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is among the least of its advantages, because daily expe- rience proves to us, that dispatch as well as some- thing in travelling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It prevents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstances, added to the beauty of the country, and a con- siderable proportion of shade, must always ren- der travelling in the latter season peculiarly a- greable.
The Swift Sure starts from PHILADEL- PHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street. It goes through Frankford to Burlington, where it hops to Breakfield; from
