By this Day's Mail. Interesting News. From the Independent Chronicle.
BOSTON, May 27. On Friday last arrived from London the armed ship Minerva, commanded by Captain Stephen Turner.—By this arrival we have been favored with London papers to the 17th of April, from which (having constantly in view the Truth which is "our Guide") we have selected and presented to our patrons, without colouring, addition, or extenuation, as accurate and impartial an account, as we could collect, of the momentous transactions of the Belligerent Powers. We do not presume to deliver any opinion of our own, but having given all the information we possess, our readers will make their deductions from the interesting intelligence. Captain Turner failed without convoy, and by good seamanship and favorable winds, performed his voyage in 103 days. The Galen, capt. Mackay, and the John Jay, capt. Folger, for Boston, left London in March, and proceeded to join the convoy at Portsmouth; from which place they failed the 16th of April; and afterwards by contrary winds put into Plymouth, and it is supposed they proceeded on their voyage the 13th ult. From the sincere regard we have for the interest of our country, and wishing to see commerce flourish, and our enterprising citizens successful, we hope soon to have the pleasure of announcing in the Chronicle, the safe arrival of the whole fleet.
We learn that the Merchants at LLOYD'S Coffee House, London, have subscribed 300 guineas, to purchase a sword to be presented to Captain TURNER.
VIENNA, March 2. Letters from Constantinople of the 2d of Feb. state, that Buonaparte and several of his officers and soldiers wear the turban; that he has established the French calendar in Egypt, and sent a courier to Tippoo Saib. A letter from Constantinople of the 5th says, a Tartar courier arrived here yesterday. He comes from Acrel and brings dispatches from Guzzan Achmed Pacha, generalissimo of the troops of Syria and Egypt, of which the following is an extract: "Buonaparte, whom God confound, has written me a letter, in which he advises me, that he had learned I was making great preparations for war, and that he desired to know if they were intended against him;—if so, that he would come to search for men in my own country, and treat me as I deserved. I answered him as became me, that these preparations were entirely destined against miscreants; that he might without giving himself the trouble, wait for me at Cairo, where I hoped to be shortly, and where God would decide between him and the Grand Seigneur, the edge of whose sword, with the help of the Almighty, will smite off the heads of his enemies. All the letters and ordinances of the French in that country are dated "the first year of Egyptian liberty." The Arabs did not succeed in their late attack against Buonaparte."
FROM THE VIENNA GAZETTE. Constantinople, Feb. 18. The Porte has received assurance from Deyler Pacha, that he will, with pleasure, accept the honourable commission delegated to him, to rescue the sacred land of Egypt out of the hands of Infidels; and that he will immediately prepare to fulfil the views of the Porte with a body of 50,000 men. According to some accounts, the English commander, Sir Sydney Smith left Constantinople on the 16th February, to proceed with the combined fleet to Alexandria, and undertake decisive operations against that city.
LONDON, April 5. The discussions relative to neutral nations, say the Paris Journals of the 22th, have been continued in the council of five hundred: there is every appearance that it will finish by granting a part of what is demanded. The Danish minister awaits the sequel of this discussion, in order to resume the negotiations. The government appears to feel the necessity at the approach of a war, perhaps general, of showing a certain degree of condescension towards neutral powers. A proceeding which has lately taken place shows how they are actuated by this impression; it is the sending an American Minister to revive the French party. It is the Minister of Marine who most strenuously advises this conduct, because he depends upon the Americans alone to provision the colonies.
Rastadt, March 15. Certain information has been received, that the French army is retreating. The Austrian army, under the command of a young Austrian hero, is advancing, with rapid speed in two columns. The grand army, commanded by the Archduke in person, has already arrived near Pfullendorf, while 25,000 of the left wing are advancing against Pforzheim.
Offenbourg, March 15. Unexpected changes are suddenly making in the plans of the French. The orders issued this day from the head-quarters of Jourdan are not a good omen for the Revolutionists, who expected their friend would march straight to Vienna. We do not yet know what has passed; but the pay-master general of the French army has been ordered back immediately over the Rhine to Strasbourg. The couriers coming from Paris, for the army go by the frontiers of Alsace to Basle, from whence their dispatches will be forwarded to their destination. It is certain that Jourdan has halted, and abandoned his plan of marching towards the Danube. We are assured that the French army will only act on the defensive. The head quarters of General Jourdan have been removed back from Dofflingen to Stuhlingen. Some persons, who have an opportunity of being well informed on the subject, assert, that Jourdan does not feel himself strong enough to hazard an engagement with the Austrian army, and that consequently he is obliged to content himself with covering Switzerland. P. S. Orders have been received, for putting Kehl, as soon as possible, in a better state of defence.
Lake of Constance, March 12. To day the French again attempted to force the position of General Hotze at Feldkirch, but did not succeed. He is very strongly posted, and his troops defend themselves with the utmost bravery. The French have sent 50 waggons with their wounded to St. Gall. They attacked the intrenchments of General Hotze six several times, and were as often repulsed. All the peasants in the Voralberg are in requisition to rise in a mass.
Stutgard, March 15. Accounts have been brought here by strangers, who arrive from the neighbourhood of Memmingen, that General Hotze, after having received a reinforcement of 10,000 men, repulsed the French, in his turn, on the 8th and 9th, and that he had already advanced as far as Vaduz. We are assured that the action of the 10th was decisive.
Lucerne, March 13. We have received the following details respecting the expedition of General Lacourbe. On the 5th that General, at the head of 12,000 men, began his march from Belinzone, and entered the valley of Misson. After a slight contest, he repulsed the enemy's advanced posts. On the 6th and 7th, the French continued to advance, and after two very brisk engagements, they penetrated by St. Bernard, into Rheinwald. The attacks on the side of Porehiava, Bergwell, and Splugnerberg, were nothing but feints. All the French troops, to the number of 16,000 men put themselves in motion on the 6th.—Their plan seems to be, to penetrate by the mountains into the Tyrol.
March 18. The French have gained new advantages in the country of the Grisons on the frontiers of the Tyrol.
Extract of a letter from Puossens, on the frontiers of the Tyrol, dated March 19. "War has commenced in a country which never has been before, in the memory of man, the theatre of war, and even in countries seldom visited by travellers. The French have penetrated by the rocks of Lower Engadine into the valleys of Montafun and Selнау. They are already masters of the several passes and bridges of the Inn. They mean to penetrate as far as Innsbruck. This bold movement on the part of the Republicans has given much anxiety to the Austrians. Orders have already been given to the companies of marksmen, and the corps of militia of Lechtal, to advance with all possible dispatch to the banks of the Inn. We are assured that the French forces amount to 10,000 men. Cannon have been sent off for the defiles of Jams and Klaus. Yesterday a courier from the army took his route thro' our country with dispatches for the Archduke Charles; a proof that the roads through the mountains are not safe.—General Laudon is charged with the defence of the important position near Landec."
Letter from Citizen Loudier, Adjutant of General Massena. Head-Quarters, at Coire, 27 Ventose (March 14) Dear Friend, You have no doubt received the letter which I wrote to you some days ago, in which I gave an account of our first successes in the Grison country. Our victory is now complete. The whole country is ours. Very few of all the Austrians who were there escaped. We have taken from 11 to 12,000 prisoners, 10 standards of the Grison militia, and a number of Austrian ensigns. Many more would have been taken had they not been thrown down the precipices. There are no longer any Austrians in the Grison country, except those who have saved themselves in the mountains, where they will soon be obliged to surrender.
It was general Cabañaca who advanced from the Vantelhe, made himself master of the valley of Engadine, and took possession of the heights which separate the Grisons from the Tyrol. By the taking of the Grison country by the French, the theatre of war is removed to a greater distance from Switzerland.
March 20. A provisional municipality was appointed at Coire, and a tree of liberty planted on the 12th. Preparations are making to hold the primary and electoral assemblies through the whole of the Grisons, to choose deputies for the Helvetic legislative body at Lucerne.
Proclamation of the commander in chief to the army.
Head-quarters at Coire, 26 Ventose (16th March). BRAVE SOLDIERS, When the Executive Directory of the French Republic, yielding to the wishes of an oppressed people, instructed me to call upon the Austrian commander to evacuate the Grison territory with his troops, you did not expect that you should be called upon to fight; but you were compelled to it by the resistance with which you were opposed.
The passages of the Rhine, forced marches, difficult roads, privation of every sort, extreme cold, intrenchments, redoubts, forts, all you have surmounted, and in five days you have made 10,000 prisoners, taken 40 pieces of cannon, a considerable quantity of ordnance stores, and 25 standards. I do not mention the other 20 standards from the Grison companies in the enemy's pay.—They were deluded peasants, and not formidable enemies.—In a word, you have taken positions in the Voralberg; you occupy all the Grison country, and you have restored that people to themselves and to liberty.
Such are our labors and their consequences. These labors do you know, and their result must teach the enemy that the brave troops of the armies of the Rhine and of Italy have not degenerated. Your glory is pure, brave soldiers. I do not even suspect that any excess which I have had to punish is to be ascribed to you. It is the work of a few cowardly insidious individuals. But these men are always the scourge of the vanquished, and frequently they have tarnished the glory of the vanquishers: Soldiers remove them from you, and let justice, when it strikes, ever find them out of your ranks. Then, while you are an example of courage and bravery, you will never cease to be the models of good conduct and discipline.
(Signed) MASSENA. Citizen Massena, General of Division, commander of the army of Helvetia, to the Executive Directory.
Coire, 27 Ventose, March 17. Citizen Directors, General Lecourbe who was to proceed against Finslerminister, and who I informed you in my last dispatch was at Sylva Plena, in following his route fell in with the Austrians in force, completely beat them, took 2 pieces of cannon, and I can almost assure you, from the dispositions which have been made, that an equal number of prisoners will fall into our hands, which will make the loss of the enemy from ten to eleven thousand men.
In the present situation of affairs I thought the importance of this success so great as to merit being communicated to you by an extraordinary courier.
Health and respect, (Signed) MASSENA. P. S. Citizen Directors, I open my letter to inform you of the real loss of the enemy, transmitted to me by General Lecourbe in a second dispatch received this moment by his Aid de Camps.
The number of prisoners, at the period when he sent off his dispatch, amounted to 3600 Austrians, among which are a Lieu. Colonel, two Majors, and 50 officers. The enemy likewise lost a great number in killed and wounded. We have taken from them a great quantity of military stores—there are about 30 cañes cartridges—These were the more acceptable, as our troops might have been in want of them.
General Lecourbe is in pursuit of the enemy—by this time he will have taken possession of Finslerminister. I cannot sufficiently praise the conduct of Gen. Lecourbe and the troops under his command, who have never been disconcerted, either by the difficulty of the roads, the excessive severity of the cold, nor the enormous quantity of snow, and who have derived new strength from the very obstacles they had to surmount.
The new conscript levies, the first time they were in action, on every occasion displayed a courage which was admired by the oldest soldiers in the army.
(Signed) MASSENA. Manheim, March 18.
Bernadotte, the General in Chief, arrived yesterday in this city. A courier, whom he met on his way, and who, it is said, was from General Jourdan, communicated to him important dispatches. Nothing has transpired relative to their contents; but this much is certain, that the orders to bombard Philippsburg have been countermanded.
It is remarkable, that this is the second time this General has revoked his orders to attack this fortress, after the arrival of couriers from the Upper Rhine.
This morning there have been many charges of Artillery to announce the victories of general Massena in the Grison country. Bregenz, March 21. General Bellegarde has advanced from Tyrol over Mount Adleberg to join Gen. Hotze, and with Generals Laudon and Hiller, is at Feldkirch. Hotze is arrived here. All communication between this and Switzerland is cut off. Fifty French soldiers have entered Constance and 400 under General Rey have occupied the small town of Moersburg. Two thousand two hundred of General Aufenberg's corps have escaped over the mountains into the Tyrol. General Aufenberg received three wounds—none however mortal. The French in their several actions with Generals Hotze and Auenberg lost many thousand men. At Bregenz, pontoons have been collected for a secret expedition. The four Salis, and all the Members of the old Grison Government have been carried prisoners to France.
Lindau, seven o'clock, evening of the 23th March.
This moment General Hotze with 12,000 Imperialis entered this city, and established his head-quarters at the house of Monf. Porscheheres. He is to march immediately to drive the French from Buchon.
Meurgnon, March 22. The Archduke Charles has this instant passed through this town on horseback to establish his head quarters at Hohenheim. Jourdan is at Stockach or Engen.
A smart action was fought yesterday in the Lordship of Durmeningen, belonging to the Taxis, and afterwards near Sanlgau, and again between Koenigseck and Alschaußen. No general battle has yet taken place, the French evading it; the Austrians are, however, pressing forward with decision, to cut off the retreat of the fugitives, and we look with confidence to the issue. In this neighbourhood upwards of 800 Frenchmen have been made prisoners. A great number of wounded Republicans are arrived at Eidengen.
Ulm, March 23. On the 22d the head quarters of the Archduke Charles were advanced to Pfullendorf.
hendorf, to which place the magazines from hence, Gunzberg, and Memmingen, are this day ordered to be removed. Yesterday 500 wounded Austrians, and 200 French prisoners, arrived at Buchau. Quarters are provided at Biberach for 1800 of the latter. At Kloster, Marbach, and Ockenhausen, Austrian military hospitals are hastily constructed.
The Count Chotek arrived here this morning from the Archduke's head quarters at Neutenweiler, on his way to Vienna, with the gratifying intelligence of his Royal Highness having repulsed General Jourdan beyond the river Aach.
Frankfort March 19. It is now reported that a disagreement prevails between Barnadotte, and Jourdan. It was expected that Barnadotte would have advanced sooner to act against one of the wings of the Archduke, and give it employment, while Jourdan attacked the main body of the Austrians. It is said that the head-quarters of Barnadotte will, in a few days, be removed to Schwetzingen, and those of General Neill, to Heidelberg. We have a report, through it requires confirmation, that General Barnadotte has applied to the Directory for his dismissal.
Kempten, March 25. Jourdan since the 21st has retreated ten leagues nearer Switzerland; his right is still at Constance. A considerable number of French wounded soldiers have arrived here, and a still greater number are sent to Tuttlingen, &c. The loss of the enemy in killed, wounded, and prisoners, is estimated at 30,000 men.
Swabia, March 24. In the action of the 21, General Jourdan had a horse shot under him. The French General Maltot was killed. Private accounts state the loss of the French to be 5000 men. They fought bravely but were overpowered by the superiority of the Austrian cavalry. Yesterday, the head-quarters of the Archduke, were at Hockenheim. Jourdan has his head-quarters between Stockach and Engen, six leagues from Schaffhausen.
Wesel, March 24. We have this moment received accounts from Frankfort, of the 19th. They confirm the intelligence respecting Jourdan's retreat; they also state, that an attack was made by the Archduke on the center of the French army, in which the Austrians had been successful. A great number of wounded had arrived at Offenbourg from Strasbourgh. In general, the accounts of the respective armies are so different, that it is as yet impossible to give the result with accuracy. It appears, however, from the dispositions of the Austrians, and the fury with which they fight, that for this time, at least the Republicans will not march so fast to Vienna.
Milan, March 15. The friends of liberty are very numerous in the Venetian States, and they wait only for the French to avow themselves, and to join their army. The apprehension of a general insurrection induces the Austrian Government to adopt the most violent measures. It is stated as a fact that more than 1500 inhabitants of every description have been exiled, solely on account of the influence which they possessed over the people.
Konigsburg, March 18. Letters from Mittau say, that Field Marshal Suwarow had arrived there from St. Petersburg in five days, and had set off again for the army of Italy, which he commands and which is to consist of 100,000 Austrians, and 40,000 Russians.
He received the Crops of Malta when he arrived at St. Petersburg, and expressed his thanks for the favors conferred on him, by crying "God save the Emperor,"—it is for you to save him," replied the Emperor, "by saving Europe."
ARMY OF ITALY.
Extract of a Letter from the General of division Dubois, to the commander in chief of the Army of Italy.
Head-Quarters at Foggia, March 19. General, THE coalesced army of La Pouille and the Abruzzese is by no means of an ephemeral duration. A number of galley slaves, and the scattered remainder of the corps which were before me in the Abruzzese, strengthened by all the populace of San Severo and its environs, formed together an assemblage of 10,000 men, who had occupied a strong military position. They occupied a height covered with olives, which commanded an extensive plain which was cleared by their cavalry, whilst their cannon was so placed as to command the principal opening.
After having made my dispositions the signal was given, and the attack was made with the quickness of lightning. The manoeuvres were bravely executed by our troops; the retreat of the rebels was completely cut off, and the remainder of the day was nothing more than an absolute measure. It was terminated only by the men mixing themselves with the women and children who had fled on the preceding day, and who were put forward to meet the fury of our Soldiers. These objects, always respected in the eyes of Frenchmen, obtained for the rebels a degree of commiseration which they did not deserve. Our Soldiers, so terrible but one hour before, mildly reconducted these groups of women and children to their forsaken habitations.
I had sworn to burn San Severo as the focus of this general revolt. The inhabitants had put to death all those who talked of a surrender, and who in their fury had imprisoned their bishop for having, in the name of the gospel, preached peace and submission. But I was touched by the miserable fate of a population of 20,000 souls: I ordered the plunder to cease, and partitioned them. More than 3000 rebels have been perished, amongst whom were discovered several Neapolitan officers.

icers. Their cannon fell into our hands. I found only their cavalry standards—those of the infantry were only church table cloths.
Mons. Tordano, Jan Marco, Torre Maggiore, and all the people of the surrounding districts came in the night to ask for pardon, inasmuch, that all La Pouille, which some days before with the exception of Foggia, was in a state of insurrection is now absolutely pacified.
All the troops have continued to march in the path of honor. The Aid-de-Camp Mickaend, and the Adjoint Duhe have distinguished themselves in this affair, and deserve the rank which I have requested for them.
(Signed) LEOPOLD BERTHIER.
Frankfort, March 26.
On the 20th and 21st engagements were fought near Saulgau, and in the neighborhood of Pfundendorf, between the advanced troops of the Imperial and Republican armies which terminated to the advantage of the former. In the affair of the 21st, near Pfundendorf, the two commanders in chief were personally engaged, and the contest, which was most sanguinary, lasted upwards of six hours. In the event, Jourdan fell back near six leagues towards Switzerland.
Upper Rhine, March 26.
On the morning of the 20th, a French adjutant arrived at the camp of Major General Prince Schwarzenberg, who commanded a brigade of the van of the Imperialists, to enquire if the Prince was possessed of the Declaration of War made by the Cabinet of Vienna? and being answered in the negative, gave notice, in the name of the Directory, that the armistice was at an end and hostilities renewed. Immediately on his departure, General Jourdan commenced a general attack on the Prince's brigade, and, by the energy of his all-art occasioned a momentary disorder in the Imperial column, which consisted of Red Mantles, Grenadiers, the Hussars de Vesey, and some Hulsans; the latter, who on the first onset were broken, rallied, and charged the enemy with such decision, as put them to the rout, and made some prisoners. For using the advantage the Red Mantles followed the fugitives down the Valley of Offtrach, and cut in pieces four squadrons of the 8th regiment of French Chasseurs.
On the morning following, the Archduke Charles, with the left wing of his army, attacked the Republicans near Ablach, in the district of Krauchenweiss, between Scheer and Pfundendorf; the fight commenced at ten, and was maintained with great constancy till four, when the French were routed at all points. Jourdan had a horse killed under him; General Lefevre lost an arm; and general Molitor was killed; with upwards of 300 of the Republicans. Jourdan, in consequence of this defeat on the 23rd, removed his head quarters from Pfundendorf to Engen, six leagues from Schaffhausen, and was endeavouring to form a junction with Massena in Switzerland. The Archduke, who had advanced his headquarters to Pfundendorf, followed by forced marches; and, if some Austrians from Moritzburg had arrived in sufficient time, the retreat of the enemy would have been cut off. A considerable number of French troops were made prisoners in the actions of the 20th and 21st; but it does not appear that the armies in Suabia were engaged on the 22nd.
The column of the French army under General Vandamme, which was at Tubingen on the 22nd, in consequence of the actions of the 21st, suddenly abandoned that town and Gammarding; and the troops the troops stationed at Freudenthal, and who were, in conjunction with the peasantry of the country, labouring to construct works to connect the town with the pass of Kniebis, which commands that of Oppenau, and the route to Kbel, had likewise been withdrawn, as well as the corps in its environs.
London, April 9.
The Paris Gazettes of the 3d and 4th, confirm the accounts brought by former advices, of the successes of the French in Italy, where the presence of the Russians is highly necessary to stop the career of the enemy—General Scherer gives the following account of the victory he has gained on the Adige.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY
The General in Chief of the Armies of Italy and Naples to the Executive Directory
Head Quarters at Castel Nuovo, 26th March, 7th year at night.
Citizens Directors,
At break of day I attacked the enemy in his position between the Lake of Garda and the Adige, with three divisions. Two other divisions proceeded to attack Verona while, while the 6th covered Legnano. The three divisions of the left carried, sword in hand, twenty-two redoubts or small forts, which the enemy had planted round their position. The slaughter was dreadful. After a most sanguinary combat of four hours, Generals Delmas and Grenier drove the enemy from all his positions, pursued him without intermission, and got possession of two bridges on the Adige. The division of Serrurier, on its part, seconded by our Artillery, carried all before it along the lake of Garda. The two divisions which proceeded against Verona, have powerfully contributed to the success of the main attack. They fought with the greatest bravery from day-break until dark, against a very numerous body of the enemy. Our recruits of the conscription rallied the courage of our most veteran grenadiers. Poles, Helvetians, Piedmontese, Cisalpines—all have done their duty, and proved themselves worthy of fighting by the side of Frenchmen. The result of this battle, which does honor to the Army of Italy, even compared
with its former victories, has put in our possession two bridges on the Adige, 12 pieces of cannon, two pair of colours, and ab ut 4,000 prisoners, among whom are a number of officers. The enemy has, besides, left on the field above 3,000 killed, and a great number wounded.
General Delmas has received a ball in his leg, but he still continued to fight, notwithstanding his wound. General Delarme received a wound in the thigh, which obliged him to retire from the field.
(Signed) SCHERER.
Letters from Ancona, dated 18th March, state that the corvette La Sybille, which arrived at that place from Malta in 11 days brought intelligence of the inhabitants being driven out of all the forts in the island by the French, who had in consequence of that success obtained provisions sufficient for two years. There were three ships of the line in the port, and a frigate from Toulon had landed wine and flour for the garrison. The English continued to block up the island by sea. They attempted to land troops in 50 boats, and to scale the town at night, but were in both instances vigorously repelled. The majority of the primary assemblies continue to act in opposition to the views of the Directory; and the Elections in many districts seem determined to choose no other members than those whom the Directory drove out of the Legislative councils last year.
London, April 9.
Yesterday afternoon we received Paris papers to the 5th inst., which were brought to Dover in a neutral vessel from Calais.
On the 26th General Jourdan wrote from his head quarters near Dettlingen; as follows:
Jourdan, General in Chief, to Ghatneuf-Randon, General of Division.
Head-Quarters at Weiler, near Dettlingen, March 26, 7th year.
Since the 10th I have had several sharp actions with Prince Charles. In the last of them, which took place on the 25th, and continued for 13 hours, I remained master of the field of battle, and made 4000 prisoners. But the enemy's army amounting to 60,000 men, and receiving daily reinforcements, I found myself under the necessity, though victorious, of falling back. I shall cover the defiles of the Black Mountains, so that the department of the Lower Rhine shall have nothing to fear; and I shall proceed forward as soon as I have received the reinforcements which are promised to me.
(Signed) "JOURDAN."
We very much fear that the affairs of the Austrians in the Valteline are rather desperate. The following is the letter addressed by General Massena to the Executive Directory:

Citizens Directors,
I had ordered General Lacourbe to attack Euster-minster; and also the division of the army of Italy, in the Valteline, under my command, to attack Glurantz. The General performed his operations in his usual manner, and his dispositions were made with so much judgment, that the enemy was completely defeated. The result of the victory is 7000 prisoners and 25 pieces of cannon. The troops which compose the two divisions, and the gallant Generals at their head are entitled to the highest praise. General Lacourbe mentions the conduct of the conscription soldiers in terms of the warmest panegyric.—According to this information, Funterminster, Nanders, and Glurantz are in possession of our troops. I shall have the honor, Citizens Directors, to lay before you more in detail the circumstances of this brilliant success which happened on the 26th of March. Health and respect.
(Signed) "MASSENA."
Hamburg, April 1.
Letters from Innsbruck, of the 22nd, state the total failure of the operations of the French in that province. Instead of their being able to flank General Hotze and the Archduke, the forces in the Tyrol can now act in conjunction with the armies of Suabia and Bregenz. The loss of the French in their attack upon Tyrol comprises in killed, wounded, and prisoners, 1600 men; amongst the latter are several Swiss and Cifalpines.
[Subsequent accounts from Tyrol, under date Hanau 26th March, stated that the French had been wholly driven out of that province.]
Ghezzar, the Pacha of Syria, according to letters from Constantinople, has commenced his march for Egypt; his army consisted of three columns, one directed against Cairo, the other against Damietta, and the third to join Murad Bey, who maintained his ground against the French. The surrender of Civita Vecchia is confirmed.
Accounts from Frankfort, of the 26th inst. say that the Elector of Mentz will make a separate peace, with France.
From the London Gazette, of April 2, 1799.
Downing-Street.
The following letter from Mr. Consul Poretti, has been received at the Principal Secretary of State's office, for the Foreign Department.
Port of Corfu, March 3, &c.
My Lord, I have the honour to inform your Lordship, that on the first inst. an attack was made by the united Turkish and Russian forces on the island (Suata) in this port called La Scoglio di Vido, and by the French, L'Isle de la paix. After a very brisk fire of about two hours and a half from the ships of war, the troops were landed, at the said island was captured. An attack was made at the same time on the outworks of the town and fort Saint Salvador was taken by the
Russian and Turkish troops, and the French themselves evacuated another out-work, called L'Imonte di Abram.
On the morning of the 2d, a flag of truce was sent off by the French commander of the garrison of the town of Corfu, to the Russian Vice-Admiral, for the purpose of informing him of the wish of the garrison to capitulate; a Russian officer was therefore sent to the town with the propositions of the Russian and Turkish commanders, they were accepted with little variation.
The capitulation of the garrison, of which I have the honour to enclose a copy, was signed this afternoon, on board the Russian Vice-Admiral's ship.
I have the honour to be, &c.
SPREDION FORESTI.
[Here follow the articles of capitulation, entered into by citizens Dufour, Varice, Briche and Granvelle, French officers commanding by land at sea, and Vice-Admiral Uchakoff, and the Captain Bey Cadir Bey, commanders of the combined Russian and Turkish squadrons; by which the French surrendered prisoners of war, not to serve for sixteen months against Turkey, Russia, Great Britain, Sicily or their allies. The Leander, a 50 gun ship, taken by the French, is included in the capitulation.]
London, April 1.
France, by the conquest of the kingdom of Naples gains a population of near four millions and a half: and thus commanding Holland, controlling Switzerland, possessing Italy and the Netherlands, she has a population altogether of little less than fifty millions.
The National Museum at Paris will receive most valuable additions by the conquest of Naples. The King's cabinet of curiosities is to be removed to Paris, and the most active researches are making amongst the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeia, for every thing that is curious and valuable.
A letter from Basle, of the 23d inst. confirms the account before received of the entrance of the French troops into Verona, and adds, that the Austrians have been driven from Venice, and that all the Venetian territory is in a state of insurrection.
April 8.
By the Hamburg Mail which arrived yesterday in course, we have a full confirmation of the defeat of the advanced guard of the French army on the 21st; and by the particulars of the victory which have transpired, it appears to have been a success of very considerable importance. But the German accounts expressly say, no general battle has taken place.
The Imperial troops forming the advanced guard of the Archduke's army amounting to eighteen or twenty thousand men. The French advanced guard mounted, we may suppose, to the same number. These two detachments engaged at ten in the forenoon of the 21st, and fought with great fury till four in the afternoon. The contest was, no doubt, carried on with the greatest warmth, as the respective parties were cheered by the presence of the Commanders in Chief on each side. Victory declared in favour of the Austrians, and the French were forced to retreat. We have no good accounts of the loss of either army. One letter says the French lost 10,000 men. This is certainly a gross exaggeration. We may reasonably carry the number to 2,000 as the prisoners are rated at 1,200 or 1,800, and the killed and wounded at 300 or 400. The Austrians lost 500 killed and wounded. In consequence of this defeat the French headquarters were removed from Pfundendorf to Engen, a distance of about 30 miles. There is no account in this mail of the reported victories of the French left wing commanded by St. Cyr, or of the right wing commanded by Perino. The former has been compelled to retreat. But it is stated that the French are in possession of Buchhorn on the lake of Constance; a circumstance which shows that Perino must have advanced very considerably. If the Archduke follows up this success with energy and skill, it may lead to a general defeat of the French army, producing the most important effects on the situation of Europe. Jourdan seems to have found himself weaker than his antagonist, since Benadotte has sent him reinforcements. The Austrian General Staray is marching against Benadotte.
But the bright prospect of affairs in Suabia is again clouded by the news from the neighbourhood of the Grisons. The Journal Generalde Cologne of the 27th ultimo, contains the following paragraph:
"An officer who has arrived post from Mentz, affirms, that the municipality of that town had proclaimed, by the sound of trumpet, a complete victory gained by the French army, of which the result has been, the capture of general Hotze, and 10,000 men."
We have letters from the Upper Rhine, from Strasburg and from Hanau of the 26th, and from Frankfort of the 27th ult. all of which are silent upon this intelligence, though much nearer the scene of action than Cologne. But it is possible the news might travel express through the French military posts. If it had been true, however, we should have heard of it by the passengers or papers which came from France on the 3d of April. We give very little credit to the report, but circumstances render it possible. Hotze had advanced to Bregenz, and was proceeding to drive the French from Buchhorn. Perino was marching in front to meet him, and perhaps Massena may have taken him in the rear. But the accounts are too vague upon which we attempt to form an opinion.
A report was circulated on Saturday of the passengers by the last carries from France having heard before their departure, that advices had been received by the telegraph at Calais of the defeat of the Archduke by Jourdan. This intelligence comes in a very questionable shape, and deserves but little credit; but it may be true. It is alike doubtful whether the French or Germans will be successful in a general engagement.
April 9.
The French appears to be scouring the way for an amicable termination of the differences with America. We find in the Recadeur of the 23d ult. a decree of the Directory concerning their late arrest against neutral vessels. It bears as follows:
Considering that article 4 of the Decree which concerns that Role d'equipage of neutral ships has given rise to abusive interpretations relative to the Roles d'equipage of American vessels, and as it is important to put an end to the impediments which have resulted therefrom to the American commerce—after having heard the Foreign Minister and the Minister of Justice,
Decree,—That by Article 4, of the above decree, it was not intended that the navigation of American ships, relative to the form of their Roles d'equipage, should be subject to other conditions than those imposed on all neutral bottoms, by the 12th article of the regulation of 1744, and by article 9, of that of 26 July 1778. And this is ordered to be inserted in the Bulletin of the laws.
April 10.
Between the 20th ult. and the 25th the armies of the Archduke and Jourdan were engaged in four battles, all of which, and particularly those which were fought on the 21st and 25th, terminated in favor of the Austrians. The battle that took place on the latter of these days was, we may be confident, fatal to the Republican army, and that in a very great degree, as it was in consequence forced to abandon a large extent of valuable territory, which it was much its interest to have preserved. The French papers are silent as to what became of General Perino after the battle of the 25th. His situation on the banks of the Lake of Constance must have been from that time very critical, as his communication with the center of the French army necessarily became extremely precarious, and being placed between the Archduke and General Hotze, he could not easily have faced both of them. We may expect to receive none but agreeable intelligence from that quarter; the Austrians have a manifest superiority, which the junction of General Staray will have considerably increased.
If such success as we could with had not hitherto attended the Austrian arms in the Tyrol and in Italy, we are not less inclined to flatter ourselves that affairs will before take a more favourable turn in those parts. The Imperialists will not begin the Campaign offensively, until the arrival of the Russian and Hungarian reinforcements. The Austrian troops who were beaten on the 26th ult. on the Adige were, besides, far from being so numerous as they are at this moment. Part of the army was then on the Piave, and our private letters inform us that the Corps de Reserve, which was in cantonments in Friuli and in Carniola did not receive the order for marching until the 12th, and did not carry it into execution before the 16th.
The Army of Jourdan, although the strongest, is not that which is destined to take the most active part in the Campaign. It is from the Lake of Constance to the Adige that the French will endeavour to make progress, and it is there too that it is of the most consequence to the Austrians to stop them. This consideration leads us to suppose that the Archduke will send reinforcements into the Tyrol, or that he will afford still more efficacious succour to that country, by making a powerful diversion in the Canton of Schaffhausen, which will infallibly have the effect of drawing back Massena into Switzerland, and of changing the Theatre of War to the latter country.
PHILADELPHIA, May 31.
LATEST NEWS.
Extract of a Letter from Lisbon, dated 22d April, 1799; received by Capt. Williams at Boston, in 27 days.
Great News from the North and Italy.
The French have been defeated—Archduke Charles has defeated Jourdan. The latter is wounded and gone to Paris. TEN THOUSAND men taken prisoners, and about 9 THOUSAND killed and wounded.
In Italy the loss of the French has been still greater—Several Cisalpine and Sardinian Regiments which had joined the French, during the action joined the Austrians. Italy heartily tired of the fraternal hug, is rising in insurrection every where.

In the article, copied from the New-York Daily Advertiser, which appeared in Tuesday's Gazette, we are furnished with further evidence that the never-slumbering industry of French intrigue relaxes not in its exertions to revolutionize America. There can be little doubt of the restoration of the Pigeon. This action is consistent with their grand system. They load their victim with injury beyond the strength of bearing and then flatter and console him with some deed of specious generosity or justice: thus they work with him till his strength is exhausted, and he sinks into that state of wretchedness which has been the lot of so many Republics, to whom they have given liberty. It is impossible to repress our indignation when we see these false tricks playing off upon us with such impudent confidence of success; but our indignation ought to be converted into vengeance. "Now is the trying time," exclaims the New-York editor, "having been foiled in their threats they now mean to employ the more dangerous weapons of insinuation and intrigue." If to not meet the advances of France with equal ardor, be to increase the power of a faction devoted to her interest; if rejecting the proffered reconciliation gives not only speciousness, but wings and fury to Jacobinism, and weakens the springs of action in Government, then, indeed, this is the trying time. But difficulty and danger decay as we approach them with a firm and resolute step. Let a prompt and uncompromising spirit govern our councils; let the power which exists be employed to hush the voice of sedition; and let us contemplate the pacific overtures of Talleyrand with hearts lovelorn on our wrongs, and the time is not a trying one. It is a moment of security in which we resolve to bar our doors against the robber in whatever garb he may approach. The season of doubt and hesitation is passed away; and the trade of conciliations ought to pass away with it. Debate on the adjustment of differences with France, in her present unauthorised state, is an insult to the feelings and understandings of those men who know they must share their individual portion of the honor or infamy of their country. After we have suffered insult upon insult; seen our plundered property increasing the means of depredation; our seamen manacled, lacerated, and starved, and the whole nation set at defiance, scorned, ridiculed, and sunk to the lowest pit of humiliation. After all this; with the memory of these things corroding in our bosoms, and the sound of their repetition still vibrating in our ears, can America for a moment entertain a pacific sentiment. After she has been goaded into an attitude of resistance, and every national energy is roused, her armed vessels on the ocean, and her soldiers in the field, can it be imagined; is any man weak enough to believe that this spirit is to be exorcised by the treacherous smile of a Republican Frenchman? No, no: we have seen and I trust our Government have seen and will remember
"How nations sink, by darling schemes opprest'd"
"When VENGEANCE LISTENS TO THE FOOL'S REQUEST."
We have seen this, and if we fall, we shall be the authors and finishers of our own destruction.
It is true, however, that there is still a large number of those who call themselves Federalists, ready and willing to accept of any terms the cunning, or the insolence of France may think proper to tender. These are the gentle children of Peace. They hold out the hand of friendship to all parties, and in the secret of their souls call it policy. Too much attached to life and property to survey the turbulence of the times with anxiety, and too pusillanimous to engraff their interest on either side of the question, they stay the moment when they can with safety throw their weight into the heavier scale, and call themselves bird or beast without trembling for the consequences. These are the gentlemen who give life and vigor to the profligate enemies of government; and chill the ardor of its best friends. While they continue to give a hope to the politics of America, our tone will continue to fade; but we trust the wisdom of our rulers will preserve our character from the effects of their influence.
But this is not to be done by indecision, nor by a mild and accommodating temper towards the author of all the evils that disturb us at present, and those which threaten our future tranquility. A bold and repulsive despotism towards France is what alone can save us. Let us listen to our own feelings; not to Talleyrand's whining memorials; to the voice of our complaining reputation, not to the cant of those who have none to complain. In short let us cut off by WAR all possibility of communication between our enemies abroad and those at home, and we shall enjoy more peace, more security, more honor and more happiness, than we should in any state of democratic repose which is in the power of France to bestow.

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 it 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 Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, 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 authenticated public records, and renders them almost inestimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting 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: To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. THE MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, Respectfully represents, That having, in our respective vocations, frequent occasion to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print the public records; and that he has obtained partial subscriptions from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting 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 its 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 copies of that record for themselves. Thomas M'Kean, John D. Cox, Charles Heath, Samuel Levy, T. Rofs, Wm.

G. SHAW, Respectfully informs the public, he has received from ROBERT JOHNSTON, Apothecary, No. 20, Green street, Soho, London, a fresh and very considerable supply of his highly esteemed Medicine. AWARE of the depredations made on every public medicine of established repute and extensive sale, R. Johnston, obtained the King of England's Patent for his invention, not "to recommend" but "to distinguish," Whitehead's Essence of Mustard from SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. Five years have now elapsed since Mr. Johnston first made known to the world this very extraordinary medicine; during this short period, its efficacy has been so clearly demonstrated that its fame has far exceeded any former example; comparatively there are few families in England or the United States which have not either heard of or experienced its beneficial effects and with heartfelt satisfaction he had the happiness to declare Whitehead's Essence of Mustard has cured more persons afflicted with Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Palsy, Complaints of the Stomach and other Painful Maladies. Than all the Medicines ever before made public, indeed, the instances of its efficacy and letters of acknowledgment from "the most respectable characters" are so numerous that a large volume could not possibly contain them, it has also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the first families in England, Ireland and America. A COUNTERFEIT. R. JOHNSTON has reason to believe a large quantity under the name of "Improved Essence of Mustard," as well as many others has been shipped for America, and considers it his duty to prevent imposition and disappointment. He therefore requests the afflicted to be particular in the purchase of his bottles, boxes, labels, and bill of directions which are closely copied, and words "by royal authority," artfully substituted for the words "by the king's patent" which may elude common observation. The Genuine is distinguished by the signature of R. Johnston, in his own hand, writing on each label, and as an additional security is further signed on the outside wrapper by his only agent for the United States, G. SHAW, No. 120 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, by whom it is sold wholesale and retail, in pills and in a fluid state at one dollar each, box or bottle. FOR CHILBLAINS, SPRAINS AND BRUISES. It is a certain and effectual remedy, seldom requiring more than three or four applications. To the candid and liberal of the FACULTY, R. Johnston respectfully submits the following observations. The Fluid Essence of Mustard, is an embodiment worthy their particular attention, it differs in its nature from all others, and is out of the beaten track of general practice—it is an active stimulant, easily controlled, may be either increased or diminished in its strength by the different methods of use, it is both elegant and convenient and is frequently found in the extemporaneous prescriptions of their brethren in England. The above Genuine Medicine, as well as many others of the first celebrity may be had by appointment of G. Shaw, of Mr. G. Bailey, Wilmington, Dr. Barrill, Maiden Lane, New-York, Messrs. Bailey and Walker, Charleston, William Black, Salem, (N. J.) Charles Hutchins, Lancaster, A. C. Jorden, Norfolk, John Roberts, do. David Keen, Sweet Springs, Virginia, R. Lee, Baltimore, I. & J. Mantz, Fredericktown, Maryland, G. W. Mancius, Albany, Dr. Vanloongen, New-York, Messrs. Titcomb & Son, do. Messrs. Rofs & Douglas, Pittsburgh, do. Richard Winter & Co. Savannah, and in every principal town in the United States. N. B. The public are desired to enquire for Whitehead's Essence of Mustard, all others being a base and spurious imitation. GEO. SHAW. 120, Chestnut street, where Venders may be supplied. "Caution against Counterfeits." Agents are appointed by G. Shaw in every principal town of the United States, and there is no certainty of purchasing the Genuine Essence of Mustard in any part of America, unless it is signed on the outside wrapper by G. Shaw, No. 120, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where shopkeepers are supplied and a liberal discount allowed them. May 13
