The intelligence from Egypt, published in the last French papers, contains several curious details, among which the following are not the least interesting.
At the beginning of the naval action of Aboukir, admiral Brueys was wounded in the hand, and soon after received a severe wound in the head, but would not quit the deck.
Captain Dupetit Thouars, after having an arm and two legs carried away, called for a pipe, and having smoked a few moments, expired, saying - "Crew of the Tonnant, never strike to the enemy."
General Buonaparte arrived this morning (October 16) at 6 o'clock, with General Berthier and citizens Monge and Berthollet. The other Frenchmen from Egypt arrived in the course of the day.
Some Journals have stated that Buonaparte was induced to return to France in consequence of his hearing of Jourdan's disasters; while others have asserted that his return was hastened by the news of Scherer's defeat.
SUWARROW.
Frontiers of Swabia, October 3.
Yesterday morning the Russian Generals received the following order from Field-Marshal Suwarrow.
GENTLEMEN,
"You will be answerable with your heads for every inch of ground that you shall give up to the enemy. I have advanced by way of Schwitz, and am ready to repair your errors; I have therefore a courage and resolution which nothing can subdue."

NANTES, October 19.
This morning at 4 o'clock, 2000 Chouans from the environs of Segre and Augers, entered this city without striking a blow, although our population amounts to 70,000 souls. They remained in possession of the place during two hours, opened all the prisons, and put to death several excellent republicans.
N. B. The Chouans did not enter the arsenal, or take away any arms. They marched towards Rennes, and are said to have paid a visit to the Receiver General of Taxes.
DARMSTADT, October 22.
The accounts received on the 19th of the entry of the French into Heidelberg and Mannheim are confirmed. As early as on the 15th and 16th, skirmishes began to take place between the advanced posts at Weinheim and Lorsch, in which the Austrians, not being in sufficient force, were obliged to retreat and the French crossed the Rhine near Worms and Frankenthal.
The Prince of Schwartzenberg has taken his position on the road leading to Heilbronn. It is this morning reported that general Suwarrow had advanced against Heidelberg, and succeeded in driving the French from that place, but no particulars are yet known.
At Sinzheim and Furtfelden are still some Imperial troops. General Lorget attacked them on the 20th, but was repulsed, and is said to have lost 800 men. Yesterday a heavy cannonade was heard from the neighborhood of the Neckar. The French still occupied Heidelberg on the 21st.
October 23, in the evening.
It is this morning reported that general Suwarrow had advanced against Heidelberg, and succeeded in driving the French from that place, but no particulars are yet known. Travellers state that the Prince of Schwartzenberg had been slightly wounded, and that an Imperial Colonel had been taken prisoner by the French.
A division of French Chasseurs were advancing into the Odenwald, but were driven back by the peasants.
The French declared on their entering Mannheim that they would consider the Palatinate as a hostile country. For the expense of the head quarters they imposed a daily contribution of 3500 florins on the City.
There are now only 2300 French troops at Mentz.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the Eastern States, containing some remarks on our national credit, which merit serious attention.
"You express strong doubts whether Congress will now pay any more attention to the engagement of the United States, to pay the interest on the New Emission Securities, than heretofore, by reason of the present heavy expenses of government. The plain truth is, this little debt, is due to a number of obscure soldiers and citizens whose political weight commanded no attention in Congress, when the funding system was formed,—and from the same cause, has resulted the total neglect ever since. Hence their feeble memorials and petitions, which have been repeated almost every session of Congress, having nothing to support them but the naked plea of the faith of the United States, unaided by party interest, or the political views of leading men, their interest has been sacrificed from year to year, notwithstanding every thing fixed in government was pledged to secure punctilious payment. I cannot but view this neglect in Congress as an infinite sacrifice of national honor without an object. It excites astonishment in the mind of those who examine with attention the footsteps of Congress. Although the obscurity of those influential creditors may limit their complaints of the injustice they suffer from the violated faith of the United States, to small circles in the class of common citizens, yet as the most deadly enemies to this government could not form a more destructive will, than to have this precedent remain,—this breach of public faith continue open for them to attack whenever they can injure the government most by proving it faithless;—it seems too serious a subject for wise legislators to pass by. In this advanced period of our national government, its character is of infinite importance, and nothing ought to be adopted or neglected that cannot bear the scrutiny of reason and accord with the purest principles of honor and good faith. To neglect these creditors, evinces the want of principle, and to delay for want of funds such a trifling debt, (as you suggest they may) is to acknowledge bankruptcy. Who can tell the destinies that await this country; we are growing with amazing rapidity and seem to be the beginning of a vast empire. The eyes of Europe watch our progress with a jealous view, and although their true interest would lead all the nations to perpetual harmony and peace with us, yet the want of wisdom no less than the evil passions, may lead them to be our enemies: And as all countries produce factious men and traitors who join any party or any nation to injure their own, when led to do so by their ambition or interest or revenge; our nation cannot hope to escape the calamities which have attended all others."
"Now I ask you, who are in the habit of deep contemplation and extended views, what is to be the bulwark and the impenetrable shield to our government and country if a long foreign war, or strong internal convulsions should come upon us?—The history of the world proves, and our short experience attests, that an universal and unlimited public CREDIT which would command the property and the service of the whole people, could alone support a long contest and save the country from a fatal division—or total ruin. In the CHARACTER of every government is its strength: It must have arms to compel, or credit to draw the supplies and services it wants; if there is not a general belief in its power to compel, or in its unalterable good faith, it cannot command either. Our national character is yet imperfect; the character of its Legislature is still more so; both must be strengthened and consolidated by all possible means, or both will perish. It is therefore painful to observe legislators trifling with the vital principles of our political existence."
The Fathers of the Revolution, the luminaries of America, are extinguished one after another,—and the sun of our hemisphere whose resplendent talents and commanding virtues held our eyes to the point of public duty and bound our hearts to obey—the immortal WASHINGTON has bid us a last adieu—and Adams stands with his "starry pinnions" ready for the flight.—Where are the men who are to fill their walks of glory and open a nation's eyes?—How strong the impression of duty at this momentous era in the mind of all electors, to look round our country for genius and virtue to fill the places of piddling legislators who calculate only for the day or by the hour, with men whose views extend to distant ages and are bounded only by eternity. A great national sentiment must pervade the whole people and thereby produce a central energy."
Extract of a letter from Alexandria, dated January 4, 1800.
Gen. WASHINGTON has willed all his own Negroes free, the number of which are one hundred and thirty; the remainder on the estates belonged to his wife.
"They are to enjoy their freedom at the death of their Mistress, and as much sooner as the pleases—and it is expected it will not be long before she will liberate them all."
"Lawrence Washington and his wife (relatives of the General lately deceased) have also freed all theirs, the number of which is very considerable."
"Those of General Washington's who are advanced in years, are to be maintained by his estate."
An article signed Count Mervault, mentions a victory to have been gained over the French Gen. Lecourbe.
In the council of ancients, October 18, a member announced, in the name of a deputation from the Barre, "that on the 16th, Mans (a considerable town in one of the departments) had fallen into the power of the Chouans. About 60 grenadiers defended themselves till they were overpowered by twelve hundred Chouans, who put all the republicans to death. All the public banks were pillaged, and the most terrible devastation committed." These facts were ordered to be sent in a message to the Directory.
Another member observed, that it was no longer the assembly of a few robbers—it is an organized civil war; bands of Royalists provided with artillery and cavalry, who give battle, besiege and take towns.
A Paris article of Oct. 22, mentions that Generals Laroche and Legrand were then before a council of war; the former for having surrendered Manheim, and the latter for having evacuated Auerheim.
It is also stated in a late Paris paper, that an English corvette which was bringing to Lavender 300 emigrants, was met opposite the coast of the Lower Loire by a French frigate which sunk it. No emigrant would surrender, and they all perished; the crew were saved, and are at Nantes.
On the 27th Oct. his serene highness Prince William of Orange, arrived at his father's house in Conduit-street, London, from the army in Holland.
By the capture of the two Spanish prizes, Lord Bridport received an addition to his income of 125,000l. And captains Gore, Digby, Young and Pierrepont, receive 60,000l. each.
There are reports in circulation, that the Gen. Greene frigate, capt. Perry, has been captured, off Guadalupe, by two French frigates. We know not the source of the report; but we learn from a credible source, that on the 2d December, the gen. Greene was sailing in company off Cape Francois, with the Constitution and Boston frigates. Boston Centinel.
A person who signs himself "James Boddington," in an advertisement published in a Norfolk paper, professes to have discovered longitude on the 7th of January, 1799, which he was prevented from making known at an earlier period by a long sickness; but says that he is now prepared, provided suitable encouragement be given, to develop the principles on a very plain and easy scale. The advertisement is dated "Navy-Yard, Gosport, December 28th."
Died—On the 1st of October last, at Port Mary, his tent in Scotland, David Sproat, Esq. formerly a respectable merchant in Philadelphia.
CINCINNATI.
At a meeting of the Pennsylvania State Society of the Cincinnati, held at the State House, in Philadelphia, on the 21st of December, 1799,
BRIGADIER GEN. MACPHERSON IN THE CHAIR, The following Resolutions were moved by Major JACKSON, and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That, in veneration of the exalted virtues, patriotism, and public services of our late most excellent, beloved, and ever to be lamented President General, George Washington,—and as a tribute of the deepest sorrow, and most affectionate attachment to his endeared and illustrious memory, the Members of this Society will wear mourning, connected with the Badge of the Society, during six months.
Resolved, That a strip of black Ribband passing along the centre of the Ribband of the Order, be added on this occasion.
The following resolutions were moved by gen. Macpherson and unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That Major Jackson be requested to prepare and pronounce an Eulogium on the character of General Washington, embracing a summary review of his Civil and Military services; and that the same be delivered before this Society on Saturday the 22d day of February next, at one o'clock, P. M. at such place as the Standing Committee to whom the arrangements of the day are referred, shall determine.
Resolved, That the President of the United States and his family—the Vice President of the United States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Members of both Houses of Congress, the Heads of Departments, the Judiciary, and such other officers of the General and State Governments as may then be in Philadelphia, be respectfully invited to honor the Society with their presence on the occasion.

FIRE BUCKETS.
The great inattention shown by a number of Citizens, by suffering their Fire Buckets to remain for days and sometimes for weeks in the streets and alleys, adjacent to where they have been used at fires, has induced the Mayor to direct the High Constable, at the expiration of four days from the time that a fire shall happen in the City, to have collected and removed to the City Hall, the Fire Buckets which he may find in the Streets after that period. The owner will thereby have an opportunity of recovering their Buckets, which perhaps, otherwise would have been lost by their neglect. A number is now at the City Hall.

Not having received the specific marks that I possess the counterfeit from the genuine, we can only mention it generally, to induce greater caution.
BOSTON, January 6. The East-India convoy, it is expected, will sail from New-Port, in the course of this week.
BALTIMORE, January 9. By capt. E. Pearce, 30 days from Martinique (via Wilmington, N. C.) we are informed that the Schooner —, captain Strong of this port has been captured by a French privateer, and sent into Guadalupe. The captain and supercargo were sent to prison on the 27th November; and brig Jason, capt. Smith of Salem, chartered by J. Adams of this city, has also been captured and sent into ditto.
The brig —, of Alexandria, chartered by G. Wood, Esq. has arrived safe at Martinique.
Capt. P. also informs, that the frigate Adams overhauled and captured the French privateer our last accounts stated her to be in chase of. She mounted 8 guns and 64 men; the latter, the Insurgent, as a cartel, took into Guadalupe and exchanged for American prisoners. The prize which the Insurgent recaptured, and the above privateer, were sent into Martinique, where the frigates arrived a few days after, watered and put to sea again. The Adams took under convoy 14 sail of Americans to St. Kitts; after which, she was to join the Insurgent, a d cruise off Deseada, for three French frigates, which they learnt were coming down from Cayenne.
January 10. The ship Kingsmill, capt. Marshall, from Cork to Baltimore, has arrived at Annapolis. She left Cork the 30th September.
Arrived, brig Herman, captain Bieldfield, 90 days from Bremen. Left there, ship Sally of Beverly, capt. Patterson, to sail 1st October.

December 30, lat. 38, 40, long. 70, spoke an American ship from Baltimore to Cork, out three days from the capes.
Capt. Bieldfield brought in the captain and crew of the Schooner Nancy of Portland, John Jones, master. The following account of her loss has been handed us, by capt. Jones.
Sailed from Portland November 13, '99, bound to the West Indies. On the 19th December, lat. 37, 20, N. long. 62, 30, W. lying to, the wind at S. W. sprung a leak and in four hours filled with water—we cut away the main mast and kept her before the wind, saved some provisions and hoisted the small b at about half way up the fore mast and put in water and provisions; where we fl'd most the time in bad weather; our quarter deck partly blew up, which made it difficult in getting fore and aft: in that situation we continued till the 28th; in the morning saw a sail to windward, but at such a distance that they took no notice of our distress; at 8 o'clock six of us embarked in the boat, leaving one man behind, who chose to risk his fate on the wreck, rather than go in the boat; after about 5 hours hard rowing we came in so near that they discovered us and bore away and received us on board—on the evening we fetched the wreck, got off the other man, saved some provisions we had lashed in the shrouds, and some sails. It proved to be the brig Friendship, Herman Bieldfield, master, 77 days out from Bremen, bound to Baltimore, for whom I shall always retain the lasting sense I have of his goodness, humanity and politeness, while on board his vessel.

OR, a Complete List of all the occupations and trades (separately and alphabetically arranged) practised in the City and Liberties with the names and residences of those who follow each of them respectively, also in alphabetical order: to which is added an Alphabetical List of all the Streets, Lanes and Alleys in the city and liberties. If a MERCHANT or SHIP OWNER wishes for any reason to be acquainted with all the Tobacco, Glass, Soap, Candles, Sausage, Shipwrights, Shipcarpenters, Ship Turners, Mast-makers, Boat-builders, Block-makers, Sail-makers, Riggers, Caulkers, Shoemakers, Mariners, or any Tradesman, he needs only look to the Index for the TRADE, and he will be referred to the pages which contain all the names and residences of those who follow it.
If a HOUSE-KEEPER wants quickly to find a Baker, a Cake Baker, Sausage-maker, White Washer, Washer, Clean Menial—coal master or Millers, Glass, Paper Hanger, Painter, Cedar Cedar, Lock Smith, Blacksmith, B. Ishler, Plasterer or Stainer. He can also turn to the Index and be referred to the TRADE in question. In like manner can the LADIES find out the residences and names of all the Mantua makers, Bonnet makers, Stay makers, Dyers and Nurses, or a STRANGER the most convenient Boarding House, Hair Dresser, Hatter, Taylor, Trunk maker, &c. Note is the utility of the work confined to these alone; for any Tradesman may trace at once the names and residences of the Masters and Journey-men in his own line.
In short it is more or less Useful to almost every Class of Citizens:—And the Editor trusts that such an Expensive and laborious Undertaking will meet with suitable Encouragement. Jan. 8. 1(4D)dsf.

Just Published, A COMPENDIOUS SYSTEM Of Practical Surveying and dividing of lands; briefly comprised under the following heads, viz.
TWENTY-THREE Geometrical Defini- tions, eleven Geometrical Propositions, ex- hibiting to view the properties and depend- encies 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 preceded by seven surveys, the area of the four first is found geometrically, 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 straightened, 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 ex- ample of Intersections, and an example showing 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.

TO THE PUBLIC. THE time being fixed on, when the MILITARY LAND (commonly called Knox's) WARRANTS, granted to the United States' army, are to be registered and located, the subscribers have ex- plored that tract of land on which those war- rants are to be laid; with a view, and for the purpose of offering their services as lo- cators. We take the liberty of suggesting, "that were at least as well acquainted with the situation, quality of the soil, &c. of the dif- ferent townships in the aforesaid tract, as any other person;" this will, perhaps, ap- pear more clearly, by observing, that WIL- LIAM C. SCHENK assisted in running the Indian boundary line; at which time he considerably traversed that tract; he also assisted in surveying and laying it off into townships, and at other times ranged over it, to gain information. But to obtain a more complete and accurate knowledge, we have lately spent between two and three months, with several assistants, in parti- cularly examining the different townships and quarter townships; by which means we have acquired an accurate knowledge of the whole district.—We now offer our services to the public, as Locators, with assurances that we will locate every persons warrants intrusted to us to the best advantage, agreeably to their rights of location, which is to be de- termined according to law. For our ser- vices we demand the one equal tenth part, either in lands or warrants, when we locate a full tract, or four thousand acres or more, for one person or firm; the land to be taken in a square, at a corner of the tract; which corner is to be equitably determined before the time of location.—The one equal tenth part, in cash or warrants, when we connect and locate any amount less than four thou- sand acres. We will be in Philadelphia from December next until after the time of location, to transact this business. Any person wishing to satisfy himself further, will please to call on us, by letter, (postage paid) or otherwise; when due attention will be paid, and such vouchers may be seen as have to offer, which we hope will be sa- tisfactory.

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the short and pleasant road of
Buyleten, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Spring-
field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populou- ness 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 Thor- ough-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 amongst the least of its advantages, because daily expe- rience proves to us, that dispatch as well as com- fort 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 presents 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 circumstance, 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 Buxlenton, where it hops to Breakfast; from Buxlenton it goes through Newtown to Pennytown to dinner; from Pennytown through Hopewell, Millstone, Bound-brook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it hops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New- York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Ed- ward Bardin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathien, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtlandt, corner of Greenwich street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 44, Broad street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars.
Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each passenger is allowed to take on 14 lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight.
With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge them- selves to make good every package on the fol- lowing conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the pack- age, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent, on the value as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he estimates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent, and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like pro- portion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike this regulation; it will, however, be optional with every one to avail himself of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to state very explicitly, that they will be respon- sible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insur- ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and ta- verns as always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and com- mitted to the care of intelligent driver and ob- liging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the per- sons who employ is continually an object of their attention. They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no sort of chican- ery or imposition is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, dur- ing which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift Sure are extremely happy to hear the behavior of their drivers, and the treatment at Taveres spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
