TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE  JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the pre- sent 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.  THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity 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 a dollar. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound; but, as the publisher does not intend to print many more than the number subscribed for, a considera- ble rise on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. 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 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 generation, to preserve the public re- cords, 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 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." "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States." "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia."

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, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase co- pies of that record for themselves."

Democratic Bafensels. ANOTHER IMPARTIALIST. From the Western Telegraph. To the Editor of the Western Telegraph. SIR, WILLING to be convinced, that the Editor of The Herald of Liberty merited the many encomiums lavished by his partisans upon his Virtue! Impartiality! and Patriot- ism!!! —And supposing it might be pos- sible, that nothing was offered him for pub- lication of a different complexion from what appeared in his paper some short time ago; I presented the following verses to him, with a request that he would give them a place in his paper:
FOR THE HERALD OF LIBERTY.  VERSES On reading in 186 Number of the Tele- graphic, an account of the outrage committed on a Clergyman and his two Daugh- ters, by a party of Kildare rebels. WRITTEN BY C. M. ALAS! what horrid scenes of blood Can harden thus the human heart; In what dread crimes are men imbrued, Who thus from Virtue's paths depart. Are there who bear the hearts of men, From Christian feelings thus estranged; And, are there those who still retain The principles by which they chang'd. Great God! are there so lost to all The social, all the tender ties. Who view, unmov'd, the tears that fall From supplicating beauty's eyes. Who midst their piercing shrieks and groans, Which savage fury oft affarms; With hearts more hard than flinty stones, Can basely revel in their charms. Who aggravate the dire disgrace With horrid crimes unheard before, Bafely before a Father's face, His lovely daughters chains deflow'r'd. Methinks I see the villains stand, More vile, more base than fiends from Hell, With impious, sacrilegious hands, Their weak and trembling prey assail. Methinks I hear the lovely maids, In all the agony of grief, Whose shrieks the lofty Heavens invade, Demand of all mankind relief. Methinks I view them even now, Shrinking from the accurs'd embrace; I hear their cries—behold their woe, Their keen, their exquisite distress. Now by the villains bafely defied, Depriv'd of all their joys on earth, I hear them rave, with fury wild, Gursing the hour that gave them birth. Perhaps some honest worthy youth, Who Virtue's paths hath daily trod; Whose bosom glows with love and truth, Who bows with reverence to his God. Engag'd by all the tender ties, Which love inspires in virtuous breasts; While forming scenes of future joys, Beholds his charmer thus distress'd. Alas! what sorrows wring his soul, What grief, what anguish must he feel; No reasonings can his rage controul; No balm his wounded feelings heal. My feeble mufe attempts in vain To paint the griefs that rend his heart; Plaintive and languid is her strain, Yet she participates his smart.—
To which request he replied (as may be seen in the 59th No. of the Herald, notes "To Correspondents") that "The jingling Bal- lad, in imitation of the Babels in the Wood, by G. H. of Charleston, will find a place in the Poets Corner, provided the Author adds a little grain of sense, sentiment or grammar to his production."—When I first read this note, (which by the way, differs very much from those fraternizing and equalizing principles, about which this learned and pa- triotic Editor! is continually clamouring) I was of opinion that it was nothing more than a pretext; and that the real cause was. This delicate, refined and sentimental Editor en- tertained the same opinion of the Irish Cler- gyman, that his brother patriots, of North- ampton County, Pennsylvania, expressed of the German who recommended them to sub- mit to the constituted authorities, and the laws of their country, viz. that he was "an aristocratical b—— and from thence might infer, that his daughters were aristocratical b——, and of course, it was altogether pro- per to humble them, by forcing them to en- dure the fraternizing embraces of their rag- ged ruffian, yet patriotic countrymen!—But on examining the note more closely, I dis- covered that though the foregoing might be one great reason, there were others: I per- ceived that a little grain of sense, sentiment and grammar, was not required—but "a little grain" of some one of them; this appeared evident from the words "sense, senti- ment or grammar."—Now the Editor having left it to my own sagacity to find out which of these three things (all of which are so very necessary to a composition) it was necessary for me to "add a 'little grain' of my 'production.' In order to ascertain indis- putably which it was, I took the pains to examine several numbers of the Herald, the result of which was, that it must be "sentiment." My reasons for forming this opinion were, I perceived several publications, which though they contained very little sense or grammar, nevertheless abound with "sentiment"—two of these I will mention: the handsome little "Eulogium" in the 55th No. and the decent and elegant address to the Plough-Boy, in the 59th No. Further, it is well-known to grammarians, that the quali-
ty of every substantive is determined by the adjective used before it; and these publica- tions abound with liberal, courteous and ab- sive "sentiments," of which I trawl the "jing- ling Ballad" will be found altogether void. Hence I concluded, that it must be "a little grain of sentiment" of this kind which I was required to "add to my production:—But determined to satisfy myself beyond a possi- bility of doubting, that this opinion was cor- rect, I composed the following; and that the Editor should have no suspicion, a young gentleman of my acquaintance transcribed it, and forwarded it by a different route from which the other had gone:
For the Herald of Liberty. 'TIS time, high time, I e'en must say, For Federalists to fast and pray; When no new arts they can devise To hide their plots from vulgar eyes: When they've (and sure it long has lasted), Their magazine of faults exhausted; When all their plans are quite disclos'd, And stand in open day expos'd, What better scheme can they take, Their fashion in some heart to keep, When all their other projects fail, They fast and pray with fervent zeal; I make not the least doubt, my friends, 'Twill answer many righteous ends; 'Twill all the "Swinish herd" impress With ideas of their righteousness; Make them believe their rulers saints, And silence their too just complaints. Perhaps these Federal demi-gods, Who are so fond of ancient modes, Hope on that day (if they persist in Solemn prayer, penance and fasting), To obtain a final absolution For their abuse of the Constitution. Perhaps they hope, by intercession Made on that day to th' British nation, They may prevail on George the Third, To take (may think it not absurd) America beneath's protection, And save her from a vile French fashion, Who daily are forming plans To effect a lasting peace with France; And save their country from the band Of horrors that on war attend. And thereby Federal schemes defeat, By which they are hoping to grow great. Besides, I've not a single doubt, Other good ends 'will bring about, For, 'tis the self same day I am told, On which we our election hold; Then it will save, my lay my life, No little electioneering strife, For instead of voting on that day, We peaceably must fast and pray.
But hold, by Heaven! it will not do, To speak my mind so freely now, For I've of late, heard it express'd, That such things as "gag laws" exist; And those who freely speak their mind, Are very apt their efforts to find, Especially if they express Ought disrespectful of our Pres- And since 'tis the order of the day, Tho' against my will, I must obey.
OBSIGNATUS. Ohio County, Virginia. To the request for the insertion of this "production," the Editor of the Herald re- plied, (see No. 60 of the Herald, notes to Correspondents) "OBSIGNATUS will please to forward his name to the Editor, and his production shall CHEERFULLY BE IN- SERTED." "Cheerfully be inserted!" The same person, who three weeks ago for- warded a "jingling Ballad, void of sense sen- timent or grammar," has now written a "pro- duction," which, if he "pleases to forward his name to the Editor" "shall be cheerful- ly inserted;" and how has he effected this if not by changing or adding "sentiment." Let them reply who can suggest any other means.
In the Editor's address to the public, in the 1st No. of the Herald, is the following paragraph:—"Any original essay which has for its object the good of society or the pro- motion of knowledge will be cheerfully atten- ded to: but if the end in view is the slan- dering of a friend, or the injury of a neigh- bour, it will be treated with the contempt which such productions merit." The blindest and most infatuated Jacobin will (I am per- suaded) be able to perceive how for the for- mer of the foregoing "productions," which was "treated" not only with "contempt," but with indignity and insult, tends to "the slandering of a friend, or injury of a neigh- bour." And how far the latter (containing, if not a notorious falsehood, a gross misre- presentation of the Fast Day) which, provided the author "forwarded his name to the Editor, should "cheerfully be inserted," has for its object the good of society or the pro- motion of knowledge; and may thereby judge how far the Editor has in this instance been guided by his first professions and express de- clarations.
Had the Editor of the Herald been content to have rejected the "jingling bal- lad" as he was termed it, without insulting me and pointing out who I was, (in which I am certain some of his Jacobin friends in this town assisted him, for neither my name (ex- cept the initial letters) nor place of abode ac- companied the "production") I should not have had recourse to this expedient to justify myself, but would have passed it over in si- lence.—But since he has without provocation insulted me, and contrary to the practice of Editors, pointed out the author and refused to give the composition a place in his paper; I think myself every way justified and request you to give this a place in The Telegraph, as soon as you can with conven- ience. Yours, &c. &c. CHARLES HAMMOND. Charleston, Brooke County Virg. April 3d, 1799.
ADMONITION. COULD you draw back the covering of the tomb! Could we see what those are now, who once were mortal, Oh! How would it surprise and grieve us, to behold the prod- igious transformation that has taken place on every individual; grieve us to observe the dishonour done to our nature in general, within these subterraneous lodgments! Here, the sweet and winning aspect that were perpetually an attractive smile, grins horri- bly a naked ghastly skull.—The eye that outshone the diamond's lustre, and glan-
cing her lovely lightning into the most guarded heart: alas! Where is it? Where shall we find the rolling Sparkler? How all those radiant glories totally—totally eclipsed! The tongue that once commanded all the charms of harmony, and all the pow- ers of eloquence, in this strange land, "has forgot its cunning." Where are now those strains of melody, which ravished our ears? Where is that flow of persuasion, which car- ried captive our judgments? The great ma- ster of language and of song, is become silent as the night that surrounds him.
KINGSTON, April 10. From Windward we learn, that Admiral Harvey received intelligence of 4 Spanish frigates, with a number of troops on board having left Surinam for the sup- posed purpose of attacking Demerara, or Trin- idad, left Martinique on the 3d of March with the Vengeance and Invincible of 74 guns each, having on board the fifth battal- ion of the 60th regiment, which embarked at a moment's notice. A Spanish ship and Schooner names un- known, sent in by his majesty's ship Trent and cutter Sparrow, arrived on Saturday, they cut them out of Bay Roco, the West end of Porto Rico, where they landed 60 men and destroyed a fort of 5 guns, in the same day they scuttled two Schooners in ball-
fast. The French passengers taken by his ma- jesty's ship Albicore, in the ship Neptune, arrived a few days ago, which vessel was bound from Port au Prince to America, re- port that there is no security in that place for the property of any trading people or settlers on shore; their stores and shops are plundered in the most bare-faced manner in the day time as well as night. The above passengers were endeavouring to escape from the hands of the lawless banditti, when they fell in with the Albicore.
April 9. His Majesty's ship Carnatic, John Loring, Esq. commander, failed yesterday morning on a cruise. April 10. Yesterday arrived the Danish brig Bloms, laden with provision and dry goods, bound from St. Thomas to Jeremie, prize to his majesty's ship Serpent.—Also the American ship Neptune, bound from Port-au-Prince to Philadelphia, in ballast; she has on board 4 men, 3 women, and 1 child, passengers; she was sent in by his Majesty's ship Albicore. Yesterday arrived the French cartel schr. Diligence, capt. Brune, from Aux Cayes, in 2 days, with Mr. Lennox, first lieut. of his majesty's ship Squirrel, and 4 seamen, taken in a boat.
April 13. The schr. Gabriel that left this in co. with a ship and a brig, all bound for America, on the 31st ult. yesterday at Port-Royal having been taken off the Cuyamans, by a French privateer schr. of 14 guns, and retaken by his Majesty's ship Queen: the ship and brig were taken by the same privateer. April 16. Yesterday arrived at Port-Royal his ma- jesty's brig Aramanthe, from a cruise with the following prizes: schr. Belsey of Bittern, from Mole St. Nicholas bound to Philadel- phia, with coffee; and the French priva- teer Schooner La Vengeance of 6 guns and

BOSTON, May 17. From Papers brought by the Venus, which arrived yesterday from Liverpool.
Defeat of the French.
LONDON, MARCH 24. Observer Office, Sunday Evening, 2 o'clock.
The Hamburg Mail this day, arrived at twelve o'clock, and brought the gratifying and important intelligence of The Defeat and Retreat of the French Army in the Country of the Grisons, communicated through various channels; but particularly by a letter from Lindau, on the Lake of Constance, dated on the evening of the 8th instant, to the following effect:
The French Army, under the orders of General Massena, on the night of the 5th, passed the Rhine near Sarganz, between Chur and Feldkirch, and on the following morning advanced with rapidity on General Auffenburg's Corps, which it drove back, and cut off its communication with main body of the Imperial Army. General Hotze, however, being apprised of these movements, early on the morning of the 7th, advanced from Feldkirch; an action, dreadfully sanguinary, ensued, and was maintained during the greater part of the day; but in the event, the French were defeated and compelled to cross the Rhine with very considerable loss.
The loss of the Austrians was considerable; the regiment of Stein had forty men killed, and several wounded.
Small corps of the Republicans on the 7th attempted to cross the Rhine at four several points on the skirts of the Grison country and Vorarlberg, namely, at Haldenstein, Ragatz, Werdenberg and Seltz, but were at each repulsed by the Austrians.
General Hotze profiting by his victory, immediately penetrated from Chur into the Canton of Glaris, where thousands of Swiss malcontents were crowding to join him.
Lindau on the 7th was occupied by four companies of the Regiment of Bender, and a considerable train of artillery followed them.
The news of these movements reached Ulm on the 9th, and was communicated to the army.
The accounts from Ulm are to the 11th inst. At that period the Arch Duke Charles had his Head Quarters at Mindenheim, and his Army had advanced as far as Memmingen. General Jourdan had, on the 9th, halted at Villengen, and General St. Cyr at Rothweil. Their Patroles had been pushed as far as Rothenbach, Tubingen, Reutlingen, and Nagold; but the part of the main body of the Republican Army, which was advancing against Ulm, by Stockach and Riedlingen, had, on advice of the disaster sustained by the Column under Massena, fled with great precipitation towards Schaffhausen and Constance for their support.
To this unexpected occurrence, Jourdan had reached Ulm on the 10th inst. The advanced corps would have previously met at Mindenheim and Moskirch. His Army had been reinforced by some columns from Switzerland.
The French General Souham has occupied Freiburg, and the whole of the Breisgau.
The Imperial Army in Bavaria comprised 115,000 men; of these 80,000 had, on the 8th instant crossed the Lech. They are represented by accounts from Ulm, Frankfort &c. as full of animation and confidence. Many of the Regiments of Infantry had two and three hundred supernumeraries; and were complete and better appointed than at any former period. One hundred and twenty pieces of ordnance had been collected at Ulm on the 6th, and the Archduke Charles had impressed 5000 waggons, and all the horses of the adjacent country, to hasten the conveyance of troops, cannon, &c. to the theatre of war, and all the Staff Officers at Vienna have been ordered to the Army.
Hostilities had not commenced in Italy, but the Armies are all in motion.
In Switzerland 20,000 Militia had been ordered to the frontiers.
The Cabinet of Vienna has appointed an Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of Berlin, and on the 9th inst. he was on the eve of his departure.
Field Marshal Suwarrows left Peterburg on the 27th ult. to join the Austrian army in Italy.
The Archduke Charles, in an address to the Generals and armies of the Emperor and the Empire, dated Augsburg, March 4, respecting the recommencement of hostilities by France, observes that the forces of the Emperor and Empire had scarce retired under the faith of the solemn Treaty concluded a year since with France, then that power subjugated the Swiss for the purpose of obtaining an establishment on the flank of Germany; "refused to let provisions enter the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, in opposition to the most precise agreement;" and ultimately forced the starved, but gallant garrison to evacuate the place.—His Royal Highness proceeds to recapitulate the aggressions of France, which, instead of making atonement, demanded if the Germans, "were disposed to prepare any resistance to future operations of that kind." To our answer, "If hostilities were put an end to by the French—if Ehrenbreitstein was evacuated—if the French army was retreating from the Right Bank—if the French troops in Switzerland, which threatened Germany, were withdrawn—and if a reasonable peace was concluded at Rastadt, founded on the Rights, not the slavery of the Empire," no other reply was made on the part of France, than that it was hoped the Diet would agree to such a resolution as France would wish."
The Deputies at Rastadt prepared to depart from thence the instant they were informed that the French had required Philipburg to surrender.
A British squadron blocks up the port of Naples; a sea city of Provisions had already been the consequence.
Intelligence was last night received in town that the Dutch Fleet, in considerable force, and with a large body of troops on board, had failed from the Texel. The public has been some time apprised of the extraordinary preparations for the equipment of this fleet, and were, by our last number informed that they were ready. It is therefore highly probable, that, profiting by the absence of our ships, they have put to sea. In the much wished for event of falling in with them, there is every reason to look for an additional wreath to that stupendous laurel which we trust, will bloom forever.
A person arrived in town last night from Flanders assures us, that the Belgian Rebellion, as the French are pleased to style the exertions of that gallant people for their liberty, so far from suppression, has acquired considerable strength: by the accounts from Germany, ammunition alone prevents the assembly of such an army as would insure the retreat, or extermination of their oppressors.
In the Council of Five Hundred, on the 9th, it was proposed, that women and foreigners should be precluded wearing the national cockade, and that any Frenchman who should disregard it, should be confined four years in irons.
Letters from Constantinople of the 13th ult. speak with confidence as to the result of the preparations making for the Egyptian expedition; they mention a report being prevalent that Buonaparte had caused himself to be proclaimed Sultan of Egypt. A division of the Russian and Turkish Troops which had been destined against Pashwan Ogloo, had proceeded to join the Pasha of Acre, who assures the Porte that Buonaparte, notwithstanding the strong fortifications which he has constructed for his defence, would shortly be in his power.
The Hamburg Gazette of the 9th instant, states, that on the departure of the Mail from Vienna, a report was general there, that two English Regiments, under the orders of General Doyle, aided by a strong corps of Russians and Turks, had landed at Salerno, and in conjunction with the Lazzaroni, attacked and re-taken Naples from the French.
March 26. THE DEFEAT CONFIRMED.
Yesterday morning a Cartel arrived at Dover from Gravelines, with sixty one Masters and Mates of merchantmen. These persons bring a confirmation of the defeat of the French by the Austrians in the Grison country. Their account adds, that the French had experienced a very severe defeat indeed.
Yesterday two persons of the name of Pierrepont and Mitchell, who represent themselves to be American Merchants, were arrested at their apartments in Surrey Street, Strand, by Sayers and Townsend, two of the Bow-street Officers, under authority of a warrant from the Secretary of State, on suspicion of being concerned in treasonable practices.
Mr. Mitchell's Servant, a Frenchman, was also taken into custody and committed to the House of Correction, Cold Bath Fields. Mr. Pierrepont and Mr. Mitchell were committed to the care of different Messengers. A large quantity of papers, &c. were seized and brought away by the Officers.
FREMEN, MARCH 19.
The Archduke passed the Lech on the 4th, at Augsburg, and after having thrown six battalions into Ulm, he advanced rapidly against the enemy, and will lose no time in meeting with them, while the enemy on their part have penetrated rapidly into Suabia.
It was reported at Rastadt on the 9th, that a little skirmish of posts had taken place on the frontiers of the Grisons, and the French ministers asserted that it terminated favourably for Massena. It is not, however, in this quarter that the great blow will be struck; and it is about three or four marches from the Lake of Constance that I expect to hear of the great engagement between the Archduke and Jourdan. The plan of the French is to cut this Prince off from the Tyrol, in order to take the country in flank, and thus to penetrate more easily into the Hereditary Dominions.
The letters from Upper Germany inform us, that the Archduke Charles has joined a great part of his forces at Memmingen, on the heights of Luc. Preparations are making in Italy, on both sides, with great activity; but we do not yet know that hostilities have taken place, and we are also ignorant whether Admiral Nelson has disembarked the Russian and Turkish troops in the Kingdom of Naples. The situation of the republicans is, however, at all events, very precarious there, and it is with difficulty they are able to maintain their positions. Cavita Vecchia, so far from having surrendered, maintains a very vigorous resistance to the French.
Philipburg still holds out. Its garrison consists of 2000 troops of the Empire; but they are chosen troops, and distinguished themselves at the end of the campaign of 1795, and in that of 1796. There is little doubt but that city will defend itself vigorously. The Langrave of Hesse Cassel is employed in raising 12,000 men near Cassel.
Wurtzburg is in the possession of the Austrians. The Hans Towns, and particularly Hamburg, appear to be under great apprehensions, though I know not why, that the armament in the Texel, which consists only of 6000 men, is intended to act against them.
According to the report of a person of my acquaintance, who had arrived yesterday from Rotterdam, the Belgic insurgents had advanced as far as the Forest of Soignes, and one of their small corps has appeared about two leagues from Brussels; they have also been able to excite new commotions in the ci devant Flanders, and are still with the major part of their forces in the Campaine.
NAPLES, Jan. 26.
It will be matter of some surprise to see the late Prince Miltieri appointed President of the new Government, though he had discharged for five or six days the functions of General of the Lazzaroni—but this surprise will cease, when it is known that Miltieri, after unavailing efforts to restrain the fury of these Brigands, became in consequence the object of their suspicion—and seeing himself menaced with the fate of Gen. Mack, privately withdrew to Caserta, there to concert with Championet the means of preserving Naples from general massacre and conflagration—and the entry of the French into that city, with all the events that preceded it, have been the result of an agreement, the details of which are not yet known with precision, but may be guessed at from the following account: The two first days of the insurrection of the Lazzaroni passed in bravadoes, in menaces, in preparations for attack and defence. Prince Pignatelli and the other ministerial chiefs, seeing the storm rising, concealed themselves, and Prince Miltieri, who gained the confidence of the Lazzaroni by the vigorous defence he made at Capua, was proclaimed Captain General. At first he attempted to restrain this unbridled populace but all efforts proved in vain. The Lazzaroni declared those who signed the armistice, or advised its being carried in effect, enemies of the King. They began by making themselves masters of the castles, and releasing the state prisoners, in the manner practised by the Sans-culottes at Paris in the beginning of September, 1792 Then they travelled the city in pursuit of all the partisans of the French, or who passed for such, in their opinion. In the list of these victims are reckoned the Duke Torre Plomario, and his brother, the Abbe, whom they burned in the Court of their palace, after they plundered it.
A body of patriots assembled in the convent of Celestine, where they entrenched themselves as in a fortress. The Lazzaroni attacked them with fury, fired several discharges of canister shot, and after having lost a great number of men, force the convent and put to death all who fell into their hands. After this exploit they spread themselves again over the city, plundering and massacring, without distinction, every one pointed out for a patriot.
It was in this dreadful situation of affairs, that Prince Miltieri repaired to General Championet, and agreed with him that the French army should march to Naples, and present itself on the side of Capo di Chino and of Poggio, while the Lazzaroni were declaring their intention of marching thro' the quarter of Little Mole and Sainte Lucia to attack the French at Capua. On his return to Naples, Prince Miltieri placed himself with some troops at Fort St. Elmo, and fired a few cannon shot to tranquillize the city. But the Lazzaroni, who planned their campaign, marched en masse towards Capua, to the very walls of the fortress; which they attempted to take by assault.
The 19th and 20th of January were spent in efforts for that purpose, in which these unfortunate men were dreadfully cut up by discharges of canister shot from the cannon of the place. At length they learned on the 21st January, that the French column had turned Naples, and was at the gates of the city. They returned with the greatest rapidity, and flew to defend their comrades who had remained behind, and who maintained the avenues to the city with a great deal of obstinacy. The Lazzaroni expected to render most of the streets impassable, by encumbering them with benches chairs &c. which they took from the houses. After taking these precautions, they formed themselves into several troops, for the purpose of driving back the French and were engaged in various conflicts during the whole of the 22nd and part of the 23rd of Jan. but they were unable to prevent them from at length entering the city. On their entrance the New Castle, the fort St. Elmo and the castle of Oeuf, hoisted the tri-coloured flag, and surrendered to the French on the full summons; but the citadel of Carmelites, which was occupied by the Lazzaroni, resisted much longer; the French were obliged to besiege it for 3 hours. Meanwhile the Lazzaroni & peasants, who were combating from street to street, were driven to the gate, where they rallied for the last time and at length, fell. At night, General Championet entered the city. Such is the sketch of the terrible events of which Naples has been for six or seven days the bloody theatre. It is reckoned that upwards of 10,000 of the inhabitants have perished. The losses occasioned by the plunder of the Lazzaroni are incalculable. The entry of the French is now regarded as the greatest good fortune that could happen to us; for, from every appearance the city would have been destroyed by being entirely sacked and burned.
A great number the leaders of the Lazzaroni concerned in the insurrection have been arrested. The imprisoned patriots, who escaped the fury of the Lazzaroni, thanks to the energy of Prince Miltieri, have been set at liberty. There remain only a small number of armed peasants, and of the Lazzaroni, who retreated in disorder towards Celerno, in pursuit of whom General Championet has dispatched some troops.
ALBANY, May 14
Communication.
"The republicans in our next House of Assembly, will be as sheep without a shepherd. To them the ousting of the Manhattan Chief must afford a subject of deep mourning and regret—no juggler behind the scenes," no head to plan, nor nod to dictate, and the whole intellectual capacity of the party capable of being comprised in a nut-shell—the Saratoga and Olsego sages will be left to bear away the palms of oratory and patriotism."

FRIGATE INSURGENT. A Liverpool paper of March 28, contains the information of the capture of the Insurgent by the Constellation. The news was well on its way to tickle the ears of the French Directors. The next arrival may inform us how their pulses beat on the occasion—if their troops have really been defeated by the Austrians, they probably exhibit symptoms of a "galloping consumption."
MR. WIGNELL'S BENEFIT. Mr. WIGNELL regrets that he is unavoidably compelled to postpone his Benefit till Friday evening. The Scenery and Decorations for the Grand Dramatic Romance of, BLUE BEARD, though for months in preparation, are not so complete as to justify an earlier exhibition. It is some consolation however, that the delay will enable him to gratify the public not only with a spectacle which he hopes will surpass every thing of the kind, that has hitherto been presented in America, but to precede it with the celebrated play of "LOVER'S VOWS," being its first performance in this city.
