PHILADELPHIA,
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1.
From the INDEPENDENT GAZETTEER of January 11, 1783.
MR. OSWALD.
The Grand Inquest of the city and county of Philadelphia presented the following Memorial and Remonstrance to the Chief Justice, and Judges of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, in support of their public rights and private characters, attacked by the doctrine and reflections of the Court.
It being refused a public reading, they are compelled to have recourse to the press, for a vindication of their conduct.
To the Chief Justice and Judges of the Court of Oyer and Terminer.
The Memorial and Remonstrance of the Grand Jury for the City and County of Philadelphia,
Respectfully represents, THAT the grand jury, having, in discharge of their duty, and on their solemn oaths and affirmations, deliberated and decided on two several indictments presented against Eleazer Oswald (each for a libel) and, under the sanction of such high obligations, having delivered their just return into court, (on Friday the 3d instant) cannot but remember, with peculiar sensibility and concern, that they incurred the severe displeasure of the bench, and received very reproachful language for their conduct.
After the most scrupulously self-examination, they feel themselves assured of the purity and rectitude of their intentions; and do therefore, in defence of their violated rights, and in their own justification, request the permission of the court, to clear themselves from the charges alleged against them - and to establish the propriety and uprightness of their conduct.
That if any thing should fall from them, which, by a forced construction, might appear disrespectful to the court, they flatter themselves, that the unshaken zeal for the liberties of their country, their fidelity to their trust, and the relative situation they stand in with their fellow citizens of the state, which are the motives that alone actuate them will fully plead their apology.
That they have been accused of having examined witnesses, on the above-mentioned indictments, not previously approved of by the court; your memorialists have been taught to believe, that an examination of all witnesses (laboring under no legal disqualification) is founded on law, reason and practice; is a right inherent in a grand jury; and, in free governments, should be secured by every restraints of the most rigorous construction; consequently, that the attempt to deprive grand jurors of this invaluable privilege, is an obstruction to the citizen's claim of right in the present instance; and, if acquiesced in, might be drawn out into precedent, so as to prove a most certain defect of them in future, to the great detriment and degradation of the members of this free commonwealth.
They conceive that the doctrine of the court, of having a right to control the evidence they should examine, on indictments brought before them, is not only departing from the solid principles of law and liberty, and trampling to the discretionary power of judges; but would, if introduced into practice, be subversive of the oaths of the jurors, who are bound thereby diligently to enquire into and present the whole truth; which, doubtless, cannot be ascertained and established, with satisfactory precision, but from the result of testimony on both sides. It would likewise give to Judges the opportunity of suppressing, from improper motives, such evidence, as might tend to exculpate the party accused. It is destructive, too, of the humane intention of the law, which be-ovoluntarily designates that no person shall be convicted, but on the solemn decision of twenty-four persons, delivered into court.
Your memorialists are of opinion, that the suggestion of the chief justice, "that the grand inquest of the city and county were biased, and led away by the spirit of party views, and that they had been tampered with by the authors of the obnoxious publications," involved in it a criminal charge, of a heinous and offensive nature, that exposed their moral characters to doubt and discussion, was highly insulting to their feelings, and was an unmerited attack upon their integrity of conduct.
That it is possible imputations, falling from such high authority, may make impressions, that will remain long, and affect deeply, and that until they are cleared from such weighty accusations, they are fearful of being virtually incapacitated from serving their country in the same characters. Candor and impartiality are the essential qualifications of a grand juryman, under a deprivation of which, the censure of the chief justice tended to lay them, when he accused them of delivering into court, a false return. Matter of such serious consequence, falling from the bench, should be supported on the broad basis of truth.
That they apprehend the language of asperity and menace, delivered in an authori-
tative side, is unbecomingly addressed to a grand jury, who by being regulated in their conduct by their principles and their oaths, not to be biased by the exercise of power, or the influence of office, however elevated. They can readily conceive that precedents of this kind (as were indeed observed and quoted by the court) may be found in the slavish times of the Tudors and the Stuarts; but they are convinced that no such instances have existed, since liberty was fixed upon a permanent basis at the revolution.
Your memorialists are of opinion, that a clear conviction in their own minds of a bill being "not true," from the evidence produced, is a sufficient reason for not submitting it to the ulterior decision of the petit jury, which the chief justice prescribed to them, as their line of duty.
That they are fully persuaded the requisition made to the grand jury, individually to give their reasons to the court, which induced them to return the bills they presented "not true," was an encroachment upon the sacred rights of juries, which form the bulk of our civil liberties.
It was a demand too, that militated in open defiance and violation of their oaths and affirmations, from the obligations of which, they know no authority on earth that has a dispensing power to release them.
That they solemnly pledge themselves, the accusation of the chief justice, stigmatizing the jury with partiality, in refusing to examine evidence, is ill-founded, the jury having deliberately and dispassionately searched into the merits of the case, and having formed a decision thereupon, before they had a knowledge of any further testimony intended to be offered by the court.
In order, therefore, that the conduct of the court may not, by our acquiescence under it, pass into precedent, and be quoted in future cases as an authority, your memorialists conceive it an indispensable duty they owe to themselves, to their country, and to posterity, to leave on record a testimonial against it.
To themselves, to evidence that they merit not the inferences of perjury, which might be drawn from the language of the chief justice; to their country, that courts finding that grand juries will support their own rights, and, with them, the liberties of the people, may not attempt to encroach on them; and to posterity, that no advantage may result to their prejudice, by our silence.
That these benefits, arising from their salutary interposition, may not be lost, they pray that this memorial may be filed amongst the proceedings of the court.
Signed, Zebulon Potts, Foreman. Samuel Caldwell, William Bingham, William Turnbull, Robert Hare, John Slee, William Davis, George Ord, Reuben Haines, Jacob Benge, Jacob Hiltzheim, John Harrison, David McCulloch, Samuel Wheeler, Derrick Peterson, Caleb Emlen. Philadelphia, January 6, 1783.

CONTINUATION OF Late Foreign Articles VIA NEW-YORK.
By the brig Trio, arrived at New-York in 47 days from Liverpool.
VIENNA, May 22.
What Lieutenant General Bellegarde had announced previous to the Bulletin of the 22d and 23d instant, which his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles has ordered to be published relative to the operations of Lieutenant General Hotze, is connected with what follows, although the intelligence from Lieutenant General Bellegarde arrived later. According to this account, Colonel and Brigadier Strauch, after very fatiguing marches, reached Chiavenna with his brigade on the 9th inst. at which place Col. le Loup, of the van-guard of General Vukassovich, had arrived on the preceding day.
From the 7th the enemy had commenced their retreat from Chiavenna by the valley of Giacomo, leaving at the first place 32 pieces of cannon, of which we have taken possession.
Colonel Strauch, being reinforced with three battalions of light troops, and the remainder of the third battalion of Michael Wallis, commanded by Colonel Carneville, pursued the enemy to the heights; and Colonel Prince Victor de Rohan went with his force to Bellinzona, to dispute the passage of the Bernadine.
The Brigade of Colonel Strauch had many difficulties to surmount at Morpegon, in the valley of Camonica. He was obliged to wait two days at Piacca, in order to dig a road through the snow near Casa St. Marco, as it was impossible for the soldiers to march, the snow being 15 feet deep, and not hard enough to bear. By this means, the communication is re-established with the principal corps of Lieut. General Bellegarde, Sufi Plantz, Malagio, and Cassaifch.
Demonstrations were made for the purpose of alarming the enemy on the hills of Julie and Albula, in order to facilitate the operations of Lieutenant General Hotze, whom General Bellegarde was prepared to support on the side of Javos and the Hill of Abola.
Colonel De Marville, of the regiment of Clairfayt, had brought from Abula two pieces of cannon belonging to the enemy. At Malaga, and at several other places on the road to Chiavenna, were found a great quantity of ammunition, muskets, and wagons. The enemy had destroyed a part of them in retreating.
The first intention of the enemy was to proceed to Chiavenna by the mountain of Septime, in order to join Gen. La Courbe, near Lente; but the detachment of the vanguard of General Bellegarde, which has advanced from Pamada as far as Malaga and Cassaifch, prevented this, and obliged them to retreat by the Spigen.
Extract of a letter from Lieutenant Colonel A. Greuford, dated Head-Quarters of General Hotze, Mayenfeld, May 23.
On the 18th inst. I had the honour to write your Lordship a few lines, containing the account of the successful attack made by General Hotze on the Enemy's post at St. Luciensteig, and in other positions in the Grison country. In the course of the evening of the 18th, above a thousand more prisoners were brought in, so that the number taken in this affair amounted in the whole to between three and four thousand men.
The difficulties attending this operation were extremely great, and its success reflects the highest honour on the General and the troops. The fortified post of St. Luciensteig completely closes and defends the direct passage from Feldkirch into the Grison country; its natural and artificial strength is such as to render a direct attack upon it in front extremely difficult and imprudent, and its flanks are so well supported as to render it impossible to turn it without marching over such mountains as might almost have been deemed impracticable for troops.
The first or right hand column marched from Feldkirch on the great road straight to the Steig. The destination of this column was to form in front of the post, to make such demonstrations as to threaten attack, and endeavor to draw off the Enemy's attention from his right flank, and to be in readiness to pursue the Enemy with the Cavalry and flying artillery as soon as the other columns should have obliged him to abandon the Steig.
The second column commanded by Major General Yellachitz, consisting entirely of Infantry, made a considerable detour to the left, effected this march by extraordinary exertions over the chain of mountains by which the right flank of the position of the Steig is covered, and descended about day-break in the rear flank, in a place where, from the extreme difficulty of the ground, the Enemy could not expect an attack. This column dislodged the Enemy from the post of the Steig, and made prisoners great part of the Infantry that defended it.
The third and fourth columns, commanded by General Hiller and Colonel Plunket, marched from Feldkirch up the Montafune Valley, from whence they with great difficulty crossed at different points the chain of Mountains which separates it from the Valley called the Brettigaw, and drove the Enemy from the different positions he occupied on this side, and descended into the Valley of the Rhine, by Marchines and Zizers; the advanced guard of the first column pursued the Enemy from the Steig, arrived at Zizers time enough to cut off the retreat of the Enemy from the Brettigaw. Of the remains of the enemy's corps in the Grisons, one column retired through Coire to Reichenau, where they took post behind the Rhine, and another passed that river at the Zollbrücke, and marched through Ra-
gatz towards Sargans, leaving a rearguard at Ragatz.
On the 15th General Hotze reconnoitred the enemy at Reichenau; but finding them strongly posted, and not having any Infantry at hand, he could not attack them. The same day, however, he ordered Colonel Cavacini to attack them at Ragatz, from whence they were driven with considerable loss. About fifty prisoners and two pieces of cannon were taken. The advanced posts were pulled forward to Sargans.
On the 16th, the Enemy retired from Reichenau towards Dilschatz, where they were attacked on the 18th, and obliged to retreat with the loss of two cannon and several men. On the same day they were driven from Wallenstadt and Werdenberg, on which occasion they also lost three pieces of cannon.
On the 9th, the Enemy with a very superior force made a severe attack on the corps commanded by Colonel Cavacini at Wallenstadt, but was completely repulsed on this occasion. The battalion of Swiss Emigrants, commanded by Colonel Roosa, (which formed a part of Colonel Cavacini's corps) were engaged for the first time; it suffered a good deal, and with great bravery.
The Enemy now is in full retreat from the Rockenbourg and canton of Appenzell. The Austrian patrols entered St. Gall the night before last, and found between Rheinbeck and that place thirteen pieces of ordnance, besides a considerable quantity of ammunition, which the French had abandoned in their retreat. On the whole the Enemy's loss in this quarter, from the 14th to this day, exclusive of killed and wounded, may be estimated at near 4000 prisoners and 36 pieces of cannon. Lieut. Gen. Bellegarde is at Chiavenna.
June 3.
The Walsingham packet arrived at Falmouth on Friday from Lisbon, after a passage of 16 days. The passengers report that the French fleet, joined by some Spanish ships, making 24 sail of the line and eleven frigates, had been hovering off Cadiz, on the 3d, 4th, and 5th of May; that Lord Keith, with 18 sail of the line, offered them battle; but the French being to the windward, declined the conflict, and on the 6th in the morning they disappeared.
An intimation was given by Mr. Newland to the Gentleman of the Stock Exchange on Friday that Mr. Pitt wished to have some conversation this day with the monied interest, respecting the ensuing Loan, which is expected to be agreed for in the course of the week. It is 13,000,000. and to stipulate for additional issue of 3,500,000. of Exchequer Bills, which is understood to cover a foreign subsidy, and to be provided for hereafter.
The outward-bound India Fleet will probably sail from Portsmouth in the course of the present week, as will the Lancaster, with Sir R. Curtis's flag for the Cape.
On Saturday last the Purser of the following ships attended at the East India House, and received their final discharges, with which they immediately proceeded to Portsmouth, to join their respective ships, viz. The Charlton and Asia, for Coast and Bay; Woodford and Albion for Bombay direct; The Warley, Hope, Earl of Abercromby, Hindostan, and Duke of Buccleugh, for China direct, will be dispatched at the India House this day.
The number of passengers on board the ships dispatched on Saturday last exceeded any former voyage. On board the Charlton, for Bengal and Madras, are 53 passengers, 40 of whom are cadets; and on board the Asia are 58, 39 of whom are also cadets, for the artillery, infantry, and cavalry.
Among the spontaneous productions of the island of Mauritius, is the curious plant Arbustula Sursus, or the Cape Jessamine, from a deception of which, it is said, the Eastern Nations make the beautiful and valuable scarlet dye called the Ursaki. The people of the island are ignorant of the art of extracting dye. The Cape Jessamine is to be found in the hot-houses of some curious Botanists of this country.
The Premier, it is said, means to impose a heavy tax upon wigs - Ladies wigs to pay double.
Lord Duncan was expected at Yarmouth on Saturday, to hoist his flag on the Kent, which is still in the Roads, with five Russian ships and five hired vessels. The Pylades, Inspector, and Cruiser are also there.
The Marquis Del Campo has been called from Paris to Madrid, to take his seat in the Council of State. Several Generals have been sent to Majorca, to effect the capture of Minorca. The Spanish Government now seems most actively to support the plans of the French Directory.
Count Wachtmeister succeeds the late Swedish Admiral Wrangel in the chief command of the marine.
A number of seamen have been ordered from Norway to the men of war fitting out for this year's service at Copenhagen.
The murder of the French Deputies at Rastadt is not unprecedented in the Imperial History. Two French Envoys, Rencou and Treges, one destined to Venice, and the other to Constantinople, were assassinated in 1541, near Pavia during the reign of Charles V.
PARIS, 8 Prairial, May 27.
Championet, Mack, and the Pope are on their way to Valence. [The Pope is not dead it seems.]
Letters from the army of Italy, say, that in case it should advance again, large bodies of troops must be sent to restrain insurrection in its rear - otherwise very serious consequences may result. The French are very frequently assassinated. Generals Clarke and St. Cyr, and Mafieu, ci-devant chief of Staff have lately fallen victims.
Maffena contemplates condensing his army into a solid column and advancing. He is confident of success in this measure.
LUCERNE, May 21.
In consequence of a mess from the Directory of the 17th, the Great Council has adopted the following resolutions;
1. Until the present dangers are past, all Helvetia is concentrated into a camp.
2. All citizens whose names are inscribed for service either in the chosen body, or in the corps reserve, are declared from the present moment, to belong to the piquet, for the service of the Interior, and placed at the disposition of the Directory, for the defence of the country.
3. All the officers and sub-officers are placed in requisition at the demand of the directory, and bound to perform the service which it may order them.
4. All the magazines containing matter and effects applicable to the military service, are put in requisition, as well as every thing which may relate to the same object.
5. The nation will indemnify, in the fol-
lest manner, the commons and citizens who may suffer in their properties in support of the common cause.
DUBLIN, June 1.
Yesterday the whole of the yeomanry corps were put off permanent pay and duty. This circumstance augurs well for the peace of the country.
Extra from the Lord Lieutenant's Speech, on the prorogation of the Irish Parliament, to July 16.
"I have his majesty's particular commands to acquaint you that a joint Address of the two Houses of Parliament of Great Britain has been laid before his Majesty, accompanied by resolutions, proposing and recommending a complete and entire Union between Great Britain and Ireland, to be established by the mutual consent of the Parliament, founded on equal and liberal principles, on the similarity of Laws, Constitution, and Government, and on a sense of mutual interests and affections. His Majesty will receive the greatest satisfaction in witnessing the accomplishment of a System, which by allaying the unhappy distractions too long prevalent in Ireland, and by promoting the security, which, and commerce of his respective Kingdoms, must afford them at all times, and especially in the present moment, the best means of jointly opposing an effectual resistance to the destructive projects of foreign and domestic enemies; and his Majesty, as the common Father of his People, must look forward with earnest anxiety to the moment, when in conformity to the sentiments, wishes, and real interests of his subjects in Great Britain and Ireland, they may all be inseparably united in the full enjoyment of the blessings of a free Constitution, in the support of the honour and dignity of his Majesty's Crown, and in the preservation and advancement of the welfare and prosperity of the whole British Empire."
STOCKHOLM, May 10.
The demise of Prince Belobrodski, the Russian Chancellor of State, has occasioned a temporary suspension of the Congress appointed for the demarcation of the frontiers between Sweden and Russia.
Mr. Hayles, the British Envoy in Sweden, has obtained permission of his Court to absent himself for some time from Stockholm.
LONDON, May 30.
Lord Bridport, it is said, has adopted the wisest precautions to encounter any danger that might affect Ireland from the Brest fleet; his frigates are so disposed as to communicate by guns and signals nearly two hundred miles along the South and West coasts, while his principal force (28 sail of the line) is so concentrated as to be able to act immediately upon any point where it may become expedient.
All the accounts from Spain announce, that kingdom is in the most critical state. The Minister Urquijo has completely imbibed French principles. This disposition, joined to poetical enthusiasm in a young man, who had gained some literary reputation before he was raised to be minister, persuaded him that his country must be revolutionarily regenerated. He does not disguise his plans; and steps boldly forward towards a revolution, of which he flatters himself to have the direction. This also was the idea of the ambitious Neckar, when he conceived the scheme of revolutionizing France. We shall see if the calculations of the Spanish minister will be better founded than those of the Genevese Financier. But it is impossible not to lament the fate of Nations subject to such quacks, and to such experimenters.
The report that Buonaparte had formed a treaty of Alliance with the Maronites of Mount Lebanon, must be void of foundation, their country being at the extremity of Palestine, at least sixty leagues to the northward of the last position of the French army, which was before Acre.
A letter received from the Dardanelles says, "We had been in sight of the French fleet for three days; nor does it appear they meant to avoid us, as her force was much superior. We brought her to action at half past 11 P.M. on the 3d of January. She had many soldiers on board, and the misfortune was extremely tedious; she seemed determined to dispute the contest, and her metal was so heavy, that though we were close on board for 25 minutes, she did not seem inclined to wear; at a quarter past 12 we succeeded by a judicious maneuvre - we let her run a cable ahead, and fell on her starboard quarter; this was just the position. We drove in her counter, and boarded her at the same time with such promptness, that she hauled down her colours."

Not a single merchant ship has been permitted to sail from any port since the Brest Fleet was at sea, notwithstanding numerous applications have been made to the Admiralty for a license.

LOWER ELBE, May 25.
The rapidity of the successes with which fortune continues to crown the arms of the allied powers, has perhaps no precedent in the annals of military fame, and the perusal of the political intelligence of this day's Mercury, will easily convince our readers of the pertinence of this remark. The plan of the present campaign, projected by the belligerent parties, begins daily to manifest and develop itself more and more. That of the French chiefs had for its object to cut off Austria from Italy, by the conquest of Tyrol, and thus to carry the war into the heart of the Austrian dominions; while the tactics of the Austrian Generals have for sole tendency to cut off France from Italy, by the conquest of the Cisalpine republic, and the occupation of Switzerland. The die seems now cast, and the campaign is as good as terminated, in favour of the allies. The latter having subjugated Lombardy, re-occupied the Engadine and Grison country, and taken Luzern, in the canton of Uri, while the archduke is ready to attack the French army under Massena, surrounded on almost every side, and has only Kehl to retreat by; on the other hand, the harassed remains of general Moreau's army behind the fortress of Piedmont, are in the same critical situation, all communication between him and the troops under gen. Macdonald being cut off by the Austro-Russian forces penetrating into the Genese, &c. while Macdonald is put between two fires, in the boot of Italy, through the recapture of Naples by the combined British, Russian and Neapolitan forces, who are penetrating in great strength to attack his rear, while an escape by sea is rendered impossible, on account of the combined squadrons which blockade the whole of Italy. Thus is the fate of this campaign on the eve of its decision, and the theatre of war about to be removed to the frontiers of Old France.
LONDON, June 1.
The Pope (whose death has been so often untruly stated) is removed from Briançon to Valence.
We are told that the Neapolitan Ambassador received advices by the last Mail of the whole of the territory of Naples having been reduced from the oppressive grip of France, and his Sicilian Majesty had either returned, or was about to repair to his capital.
There are reports of Marshal Suwarow's having entered Turin, which through apparent incredibility, may possibly be well founded. His progress from the Adda has been rapid beyond expectation, and in no part of Italy are the natives more zealously disposed to favour his march than in Piedmont. It requires many thousand men to garrison Turin, and a proportionate quantity of stores, &c. which the French not supposing the place would so soon be in danger, may not have provided. The French panic struck, and the Imperial forces favoured by the natives, it will not be surprising if they should have entered Turin by surprise, and made a conquest much more important in the present circumstances of the war, than the recapture of Mantua.
We have received information from Edinburgh of the secret and unexpected departure of his Royal Highness Monsieur de France from the Palace of Holyrood House, on Wednesday evening the 14th inst. As the circumstances preceding His Royal Highness's journey have not transpired, any more than the object of it, and as it appears to have been the result of some sudden event of reflection, it has given birth to much anxiety and speculation. The favourable aspect of affairs upon the continent, and the hazardous situation of the usurpers of France, make it conjectured that the fall of Bourbon is about to resume its ascendant in the political horizon.
The Royalists in Calabria are stated to amount to 40,000 men, waiting the co-operation of the English and Russians, to advance to Naples, which was comparatively defenceless.
According to private letters from Rastadt and several of the German Gazettes, the recent catastrophe at that place originated with some Emigrants and others, the personal enemies of Bonnier. The Ex-General Danican, author of the Cusfandura, is charged with being the leader of the murderers. He was sentenced to transportation on the 18th Inst. but made his escape to Augsburg, where he till lately resided. He was the avowed enemy of all the French deputies, but more especially of Bonnier.
The zeal and cheerfulness with which the Austrians passed the Inn on the 30th April when several were lost by the rapidity of the current, and others nearly so by the severity of the cold, revived more than even the perfection of discipline, and was commensurate with their continued valour during the three succeeding days, under General Bellegarde and Haddick. The Austrians were compelled to fight their way from the roads leading to the Lower and Upper Lovellin over the steep mountains from Strada to Ramis; where, in attacking the numerous entrenchments of the French, who disputed every inch with great gallantry, the Austrians, exhausted as they were with fatigue, performed prodigies of valour; all of which would have been ineffectual, but that a detachment, in the heat of action in other quarters, by means of cannon, scaled immense rocks, deemed inaccessible, and therefore not defended; and by descending a frozen ravine, attacked the enemy in the rear. The almost uninterrupted actions of the 2d May, though not possible to be more desperate, were attended with greater effect, as on the morning of the 3d the French were compelled to retire towards the Upper Engadine.
Dufrenoy, the successor of Victor Hu-
guis to the Government of Guadalupe, and who was erroneously stated to have been shot by the Blacks in that Island, is of very low origin in St. Domingo, and was about a year since banished from thence for his turbulence.
A report was on Saturday in circulation, and received with that avirity so natural to patriotism and loyalty, purporting that Lord St. Vincent had fallen in with the French fleet, and after an ineffectual effort at resistance on the part of the enemy, had taken 8 of their seventy fours, and 36 transports; that he had burnt one ship of 110 guns and one of 80, and sunk one of 90 guns, and one of 64. We have the utmost confidence in the skill and valor of the noble Admiral and his supporters, but fear that this discomfiture of rapacity is yet to be achieved.
The Directory has thought proper to publish only irregular extracts from the dispatches of Massena. In these we see that the evacuation of the Grisons obliges them to concentrate their army, whose head quarters are still at Zurich—that all the Swiss form only one camp; that the inhabitants are under a general requisition; that Lacourbe remains at Bellinzona, to guard the pass of Mount St. Gothard; and that in Switzerland, as well as in Italy, arrests continue to be made. The celebrated Lavater has been carried to Basle, and had his papers seized.
From Hamburg Papers,
VIENNA, May 12.
Gen. Vukassovich has taken eight millions of treasure an Novara, belonging to the Cisalpine Republic. The Milanese and States of Lower Austria have voluntarily offered immense contributions for carrying on the war.
ROVEREDO, May 15.
Gen. Marquette has taken a rich booty of ammunition, &c. going from Turin for Genoa. It is said on the 6th May, Genoa was taken possession of by the Austrians.
TOZZERS, May 15.
We have triumphed. The French have been beaten at all points. The upper Tollen Bridge has been taken by storm, and the enemy forced within half a league of Chur (Coire). Last night the peasants took 1100 French prisoners near Chur. Three thousand prisoners, with 13 cannon, fell into our hands.
Accounts from Feldkirch, confirm the above, and one from Landin, May 19, says, Gen. Hotze had passed the Rhine near Sargens; and that he was to penetrate by lake Waldstatt, to Zurich. The general passage of the Rhine was hourly expected, and pontoons provided.
STUTGARD, May 29.
The Italian Tyrolese Gazettes states, that the Austrians after taking Luciensteig, had penetrated into Mayenfeld, and advanced as far as Coire. The French had fallen back on Ragaz, so that the Austrians remained masters of all the right bank of the Rhine below Coire. Above 3000 prisoners were made in the reduction of Luciensteig. From Mayenfeld, May 15, we learn, that the peasants in the Grisons attacked the French above Coire, and forced them to fly from Lang and Richenau.
Letters from Amsterdam, dated May 21, says, that Russia has declared war against Prussia. The Russian Court has been menaced by the Emperor; and the Prussian Minister at Petersburg has declared, that his Master was resolved not to enter into the coalition against France.
The King of Prussia has granted a free passage to 6000 horse, purchased for the French armies.

NEW-YORK, July 31.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-York, to his friend in this city, June 7. "Mr. Palls had the same fever (putrid) as his wife, and his life was despaired of. Dr. Block ordered him two spoonfuls of yeast, or harm, fresh off the beer, to be taken every three hours, and bark intermediately; he is now out of danger. This is a late and very accidental discovery, which has saved many lives."
[The other printers would do well to make this as much known as possible.]
CARLESTON, July 16.
Three American seamen were put on board the Alknomac, Capt. Miller, from the British frigate Boston, the ship which conveyed the American fleet from Cork, who informed, that they were taken on the 2d April, off the Azores, in the brig Fanny Smith, from Salem to Cadiz, laden with sugar and fish, by a French privateer brig of 14 guns and 140 men, which was afterwards captured by the Melampus frigate. About a for night after the frigate gave chase to another French privateer, a ship of 20 guns and 200 men; from that engagement to escape the Englishman, over pressed her with sail, when the upset and immediately sunk, the Melampus being then within a quarter of a mile, and coming up with her very fast; it blowing fresh and a high sea running, no assistance could be given to the unfortunate crew, who were seen crowding upon the ship's quarters, when first upset, and before the ship was sunk. The capt. of the privateer brig had a brother on board and said that they both sailed from Nantes together on that cruise, and belonging to Barney, who was so long in Virginia.

IN PRIVY COUNCIL,
TUESDAY, 28th August, 1798.
Resolved, In order to obviate the doubts which are entertained with respect to the construction of a resolution of this board, of the 23d March, 1794, that such resolution be amended.
Resolved, That his Honor the Lieutenant Governor be advised to recommend to the several officers of his Majesty's customs at the several ports of this Island, to permit the free importation of sheep, hogs, poultry, small live stock of all kinds, and all sorts of fruit, salted and all other provisions, and lumber of every description, as well in British as in all other vessels belonging to neutral and other states in amity with Great Britain, from the day of the date hereof, until the first day of March next, and until six months notice shall be given to the contrary, upon the like terms, charges and conditions, and subject to the same rules, regulations, visitations and searches, as are observed with respect to vessels importing provisions to this Island.

IN PRIVY COUNCIL,
FRIDAY, 8th March, 1799.
IT appearing that great frauds have been committed by neutral vessels coming into the ports of this Island, with enumerated articles, and also with those that are contraband, reporting the latter for exportation, have disposed of the enumerated articles, landing those that are contraband in other ports of the island:—In order to obviate such frauds in future
Resolved, That it be recommended to his Honor the Lieutenant Governor to direct the officers of his Majesty's customs to suffer no neutral vessel importing articles under the resolutions passed in the year 1798, to bring into any of the ports or places of this Island under any pretence whatsoever, (distress or unavoidable accidents excepted) any articles which are not enumerated in the above resolutions.
Resolved, That it be recommended to his Honor the Lieutenant Governor to cause the above resolution to be enforced from the first day of January next, and that in the mean time if any vessel should come in without fraudulent intent and under a mis-conception of the former resolutions that the same be specially reported to his Honor, before any entry is permitted.
Resolved, That it be recommended to his Honor the Lieutenant Governor, to transmit copies of this resolution and of the former to his Majesty's Consuls in the United States of America, and also to have the same published in one of the New-papers of this Island.

Communications.
The advocates of Mr. McKean say that Mr. Rofs is principally supported by old Tories. In the state of Pennsylvania there still remain between fifty and sixty officers of the revolutionary army, out of which there are not ten who support the election of Mr. McKean. Are the remainder, who are firm and decided friends to the election of Mr. Rofs, men who amidst a thousand difficulties established the independence of this country, now to be called Tories by Mr. Dallas and Tench Coxe? Dallas, who during our revolution, was seeking fame at Covent-Garden, and Tench Coxe, more profitably employed, conducting the British army into Philadelphia.

Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal 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 conquests. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys everything, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost incalculable. 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: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1793." "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 occasions 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 that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance 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 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 copies of that record for themselves."

WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAD AND MIVIAD. By William Giford, Esquire. To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman.
In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I have myself seen the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America.
THOUGHTS ON AN ADVANTAGE OVER SOME FORMER PRODUCTIONS of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle , which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Classics of other nations.
Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Saml. Mott, Medina Lane, New York, also to Mr. Elish, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Boston and other places, as soon as orders are received.
LAST NOTICE. To the Creditors of Joseph Thomas, A GENERAL meeting of the Creditors is intended to be called, for Thursday the first of August next, when those persons only as shall have furnished their accounts, may be recognized as such. At that meeting the Assignees hope to have it in their power to lay before them, a circumstantial account of his accounts; and to propose some mode of adjustment to the Creditors. Those who neglected to furnish their accounts before that day, will be excluded from the benefit of any arrangements that may be then made.
