Of General Suwarow.
London, May 10. Wednesday arrived the Mail from Hamburg, by which we find that the Imperial Combined Armies continue to advance with vigour...
The main body of the Imperialists under Suwarow was to endeavour to bring the French to a general engagement on the 24th or 25th...
OF BUONAPARTE.
While the alarms of the Republic have encountered disaster in Europe, success appears to have followed the standard of Buonaparte.
OF THE BREST FLEET.
Of the Brest or British Fleets no satisfactory accounts had reached town when our Paper went to Press.
It is reported that there are 30 sail of transports with the Brest fleet. The general opinion at Brest is that the destination is Ireland...
Various reports were yesterday in circulation respecting the Brest fleet; but we can assure the public that nothing is ascertained respecting its destination...
That the expedition must be destined for India; that it is only a part and continuation of their original plan of ravaging the Peninsula...
After the sacrifices the Republic has already made to this idol of her ambition, there is no oblation too precious to be offered.
We have stated this opinion with all the candour and force we are able, in order to submit it fairly to the judgment of the public.
When the advices from Lord Bridport reached the Marquis Cornwallis, a report was circulated in Dublin, that the two fleets were in sight.
French dispatches, which have some relation to the object the enemy has in view, have been taken on board a small vessel from Brest...
They were immediately forwarded by the Black Joke lugger to Lord Bridport.
Extract of a letter from Cork, dated May 4. A lugger arrived at Cove this morning with dispatches from Lord Bridport, for Admiral King...
A French lugger has been taken by Lord Bridport, with dispatches for the traitors of this country; these completely develop the whole plan of the intended invasion...
ADMIRAL BRUIX'S SQUADRON. FRENCH.
Paris May 1. The Brest squadron set sail the 7th Floreal (April 26.). It is commanded by Bruix, Minister of Marine...
The sailing of our fleet from Brest is a great event. All eyes are at this moment directed towards them.

FREDERICK-TOWN, June 5. Extract of a letter from Colonel John Lynn, of Allegany County, to a gentleman of this town.
During the contest which so warmly agitated our district, between the friends of the administration of our country and its opponents...
ned six months unaccredited at the court of St. James's. In this he paid the citizens of our country a very poor compliment...
Most of these facts, if he should deny them, and my own word is not sufficient, I can substantiate by undeniable testimony...
The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 2.
MR. FENNO. THE public having been called on several times, lately, to contribute in charity, to the sufferers by the late fires at New York...
As it is now well known, that there are public offices sufficient to insure all the goods and other property of the United States liable to destruction by fire...
Let it then, henceforth, be held disreputable for any man, whose situation may require such indemnity, to remain a day, an hour, un-insured...
Buonaparte to the swarms of Arabs. What is your substance, wherefore are you made, That millions of strange shadows on you tend?
The Life of Man. Like as the waves make toward the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end; Each hanging place with that which goes before, In sequent toil all forwards push and shove...
A fairer prospect for the honest men of all countries, than that which presents itself at the present moment, has not dawned upon the world, for a long, long series of years.
