Philadelphia, November 22.
In consequence of the appointment of the Hon. BENJAMIN BOURN, to be district judge of the state of Rhode Island, his seat in the house of representatives of the United States becomes vacant. ELISHA R. POTTER, Esq. is set up as a candidate, to supply his place. Mr. Potter is at present speaker of the house of representatives of that state, is a decided federalist, and will probably be elected by the people.
Mr. FENNO,
Sir, Having read a paragraph in your paper of Friday last, announcing the Rev. I. N. Goets, as pastor of the Roman Catholic Church of the most Holy Trinity: I take this method of informing you, that the title of Pastor, assumed by that reverend gentleman, is founded on the unjust usurpation of my lawful title; arrogated in manifest opposition to, and in open defiance of the authority of the Catholic Church of which he is falsely styled a Pastor.
PETER HELBRON, Pastor of the Trinity Church.
COMMUNICATIONS.
There are four districts in the E. S. of Maryland—in these four districts the following characters are elected. The Hon. Judge Done, Gen. John Ecclestone and John Roberts, Esqrs. all firm friends to the constitution of the United States, and good federalists—the fourth elector is John Gilpin, Esq. supposed to be anti-federal—thus on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, we have three out of four, federal electors—in Dorchester county the Democratic candidate had but one vote, in near six hundred that were polled at the election.
The Jacobin faction after being repeatedly foiled by their efforts to amend our constitution, have for the sake of encrasing their number, coalesced with the old tories, and even condescended to place one of them at the head of their scoundrel department; knowing that an old tory will ever be true in hatred to the very name of Adams, they run no risk in the instance. But the time has been when Mr. Jefferson would have despised the praises of any political turncoat.
How can this citoyen secretary, of the abolition society, hope to deceive, by taking the sacred name of federalist—does he hope that this sheepskin will ever completely disguise the wolf—or that a snug wig will ever cover this long ears, if he does, he deceives himself only.
A FEDERALIST.
Mr. FENNO,
I observe in your gazette that a citoyen tory is attacking the writings ( real and supposed ) and the character of the Vice-President of the United States. The circumstance is in perfect coincidence with the conduct of the tory faction thro' the whole course of the revolution—Mr. Adams it is well known was the ATLAS of the whig interest, and no man in America was so much feared and execrated by the tories—their malignity is not extinct—at the late election it was declared by some of the anti federalists, that they hated the very name of Adams. It is now abundantly evident that the objections to that man are founded in his persevering attachment to those principles which gave us our independence—principles from which he never deviated—which he will support to the end of his existence—maugre all the intrigues of foreign agents and domestic traitors—this they know—and for this they oppose him.
The legislatures of the several states are answering the appeal to the people by citizen Adet, in a manner that must silence the enemies of our union, peace and independence. The legislatures of New York and New Jersey, have entered the President's address on their journals, and every state in the union will doubtless follow the example. United, we stand.
The public curiosity has been excited by the publications in the Aurora, relative to a long note of Mr. Adet, announcing to the government of the United States the suspension of his functions as minister plenipotentiary of the French republic; a note so very long as "to prevent its immediate publication." But to relieve in some degree the impatience of the public, citizen Bache has had the goodness to publish "a sketch of its contents." In the mean time, it is said, he has been working off privately, in pamphlets, the entire note, for the use of the chosen friends of French politics and French influence; doubtless to be applied to the like patriotic purposes, as his edition of the British treaty before it received the President's ratification. The real patriots, the friends of American independence, will be on their guard against the insidious designs of the devoted tools of a foreign power. Their examination of the note itself, which has this morning appeared in Mr. Brown's paper, will produce this caution.
This long note appears to be occupied in a declamatory detail of old complaints of the French ministers against the United States. The minister goes back to the memorable days of Mr. G. et al, and roundly charges the government of the United States with a violation even of the letter of their treaties with France. The complaints hang chiefly on pretended violations of the 17th article of the commercial treaty. Mr. Genet's printed correspondence with Mr. Jefferson, in 1793, shows how erroneously a French minister may construe that article; how erroneously he may interpret the plainest and most incontrovertible laws of nations; and then raise upon his own errors a mass of complaints as indecent in terms as unfounded in reason. The citizens of the United States have seen that correspondence, and thence may form a pretty correct idea of the tenor of Mr. Adet's long note; with this difference, that while the pointed abuse from the former minister raised the indignation of every independent American, his spirit and vivacity yielded
some amusement: in reading the note of the latter, only one sentiment will be excited. What will our citizens think when they see those wise and prudent measures of Washington for preserving us from a participation in the present destructive European war, branded with reproach? Measures sanctioned by congress, and applauded throughout the union? What will they think when they see the agent of that man, whose integrity is without a stain, charged with disimulation ? His impartial conduct towards all the belligerent powers, called a pretended impartiality ? When they see his proclamation for preserving our peace, called, "a proclamation of insidious neutrality "? When they see the American government charged with permitting the federal courts to violate the 17th article of the treaty with France ? By its elicaneries abandoning French privateers to its courts of justice ? And what will they think when they see these courts, which all good citizens venerate, stigmatized as the instruments of injustice, oppression and bad faith?—But I forbear a further enumeration of the wanton reproaches exhibited in this letter. Our citizens will read and judge for themselves. They will naturally conclude that the measures of the government subsequent to 1793, but founded on the principles then established, and which in 1794 were sanctioned by an act of congress, admit of an easy vindication against the aspersions of a minister who has ventured to make the indecent and groundless charge just recited.
Two things in the minister's note merit particular attention—his renewal of citizen Genet's insolent plan, of drawing a line of distinction between the government and the people of the United States, and directly making his address to the latter; and the approving manner in which he introduces the name of Mr. Jefferson; for a purpose at this moment which the citizens of America will easily discern. The conclusion of the minister's address to the people, is alike indecent, impertinent and puerile. He doubtless imagines that a few passionate exclamations, a la Francaise , against Great Britain, will atone for his unworthy slander of the government, and blind the eyes of our citizens to all the atrocities committed and committing by the French upon our commerce, especially in their West-India Colonies, where their own general Rochambeau has lately informed us, and through the paper of citizen Bache, are collected all the rascals of the old and new world.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship Fame, captain Harris, arrived at New York, in 34 days from London.
VENICE, September 13.
The instant general Buonaparte arrived at Trente, he wrote to the government, desiring it might order the Commissaries of the Venetian part of Trioul to prepare provisions and forage for the French army. It is supposed from this measure that he intends to proceed to Trieste, where the French will find considerable magazines. In confirmation of this conjecture, a body of French troops has already arrived at Peltre. The successes of the French army have inspired the Venetian aristocracy with the greatest terror. As the Austrians fly in all directions into the territories of the Republic, and many even take refuge at Mestre and Fusina, the conquerors, it is feared, will pursue them as far as Lagunes, and threaten Venice itself. Considerable reinforcements are sent to all the ports that guard the defiles.
FRANCKFORT, September 20.
The Prince of Nassau Siegen, who arrived at Potsdam from Vienna, is on his return to Vienna. It is thought that his embassy was to the same purport with that of Mr. Hammond. A general Peace is considered as the object, and the mediation of his Prussian Majesty has been obtained for that purpose.
All the letters from Vienna and Prague, give intelligence of the continual march of troops, and of new levies in the hereditary states. Ten battalions from Galicia have passed through Prague. Seventy-two comitats of Hungary have offered to raise each 1000 men. In Upper and Lower Austria, recruits are enrolled with the greatest success.
SPITZGARD, September 18.
A body of Austrian troops has penetrated from Pforzheim, by Tiefenbrunn, to Wederstadt, where they are now establishing an encampment, from whence they detach powerful patrols of cavalry along all the roads. One of these patrols, consisting of about 120 hussars of Veszay, and 30 hussars of Reglewich, commanded by captain count Warmoden, entered this place at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, with two hundred French prisoners.
September 22.
The situation of general Moreau becomes more critical every day. The Augsburg Gazette states, that he has been wounded in one of the late actions. The day before yesterday he arrived at the head-quarters at Augsbourg.
We learn from Ratisbon, that on the 18th inst. general Moreau was defeated by general Latour between Aich and Neuburgh, and that on the 19th the Austrians entered Donawerth. This event has seemingly contributed to the retreat of general Moreau.
An Austrian cannoner, who destroyed the bridge across the Lahn at the moment the French were crossing that river, and by so doing, caused 6000 French troops to be taken prisoners, was instantly made a captain in the army by the Archduke.
It is confidently asserted that the military chest which fell into the hands of the Austrians at Wurtzbourg, contained 150,000 livres in crown pieces, and 12,000,000 in mandats.
The peasants of the valley of Kinzig, and of Val Arberg, have taken arms against the French. The archduke Charles has ordered an army of observation of 18,000 men to be formed from Laugenfeld to Pappenheim, for the purpose of covering Nuremberg, and protecting the inhabitants of Franconia. Marshal de Petach exerts himself to obstruct Moreau's retreat. The Knablis, and the defiles of the Black Forest, on the left bank of Kinzig, are occupied by the Austrians.
BRUSSELS, 12 Vendemaire, October 3.
The whole army of the Sambre and Meuse has been in motion for these last eight days, without our being able to guess at the motives and plans of the generals. Troops are constantly arriving from the right banks of the Rhine on the left of that river; and then they are marched back to the right banks. Since the 8th inst. (29th Sept.) the movements have become more regular, apprehensions begin to be entertained, lest the archduke Charles should bear down upon the Hundsruck with a part of the troops under his orders. The whole centre of the army which was encamped in different positions, from Cologne to Andernach, has received orders to march to the Nahe, and troops are marching day and night through Coblenz to their new destination. The division of general Championet, which had taken post behind the Sieg, has recrossed the Rhine, and proceeds to the same point. The head-quarters, however, remain at Cologne, where most of the French generals are at present assembled. We understand, that Bourdonville was to repair to the Sieg to take upon him the command in chief of the armies of the North, and of the Sambre Meuse; and we were assured, that it had been resolved in a general council of War, to march the troops back to the Lahn, but, as yet, it does not appear that these dispositions are likely to be soon executed.
The Austrians have fallen back from the banks of the Rhine, opposite to Bonn, where they made their appearance for several successive days. We know, however, that the enemy occupy a formidable camp two leagues from the Sieg. All the Belgian regiments of horse and foot are with the Archduke's army, and are said to fight on all occasions with the most obstinate fury. The dragons of La Tour are stated to have put to the sword in a late engagement on the Lahn, a whole French battalion entirely composed of Belgians and Liegeois. The Austrians have likewise established a camp of observation in the plain near Neuwied, to prevent the French from attempting any thing on that side, by marching troops over the bridge near that city, which is still in their possession.
On the 6th and 7th of this month (27th and 28th of September) two very smart engagements are supposed to have taken place on the right banks of the Rhine, as a very brisk cannonade was heard in that quarter. It is at present extremely difficult to learn the particulars of what happens on the right banks of that river. No burghers are allowed to cross the bridge near Cologne; the military alone have leave to pass it.
The reforms in the administrations and offices of the army of the Sambre and Meuse go on apace. It is impossible to form an idea of the crimes and robberies of which a great number of commissaries have rendered themselves guilty.
COBLENTZ, September 17.
The pretended retreat of the Austrians towards Ratisbon, was unquestionably a mere feint; for this morning the republican army abandoned its positions, and retreated partly towards the Sieg. The fortresses of Ehrenbreitstein is relieved: at nine this morning, the enemy's advanced guard made its appearance near Pfaffendorf: the garrison of Ehrenbreitstein is already employed in demolishing the works constructed by the French, who are retreating precipitately. Our advices from Treves, dated the 15th, state, that the construction of the trenches is followed up with more energy than ever.
MENTZ, September 16.
At day break this morning, the republicans attacked the whole line of our advanced posts, and drove our pickets to within a short distance of Mainbernheim: however, by the excellent dispositions of lieutenant-colonel baron de Corvols, and the bravery of the troops, the enemy, although four times more numerous than ourselves, were turned before Hochheim, and driven into their first lines, with the loss of several men killed, and four made prisoners. On our side, one man and two horses were wounded.
MANHEIM, September 19.
The archduke Charles attempts to be beforehand with the French under Moreau, in making himself master of the most important posts in Suabia, which will make the retreat of that army to the Rhine extremely difficult. The corps under general Petach, which, after having advanced as far as Stutgard, divided itself into two columns, has gained several advantages over general Scherer, and made considerable booty.
PARIS, October 3.
We are assured, that Kleber's resignation has not been accepted, and that he does not persist in requiring it; but insists on the re-establishment of discipline: and that the directory have resolved to use the most severe measures for that purpose.
Letters from Milan mention, that Buonaparte has caused the house of Castel Nuovo, on the Venetian territory, to be burnt to the ground, and on the spot has put up a board with these words: "Here a Frenchman was assassinated."
We have accounts from Mans, that while the Jacobins at Paris are moving heaven and earth to overturn the constitution of '95, the Chouans of the west are buying up powder & arms: will no doubt take advantage of the general discontent against a government that goes from faction to faction; and if we may judge from these circumstances, and the insolence and conversations of the Montagnards
(Mountaineers) &c. we seem still threatened with fresh agitations.
A representative (Bellegarde) having a few days ago struck citizen P'Anglois, in the corridors of the council of five hundred, occasioned a warm debate, whether it was not improper for a representative to be the editor of a public paper, which was referred to a committee of five, namely, Sieyes, Cambaceres, Dannou, Treilhard and Jourdan (des Bouches du Rhone).
The king of Prussia has given leave for all the French in his estates to wear the national cockade.
We have nothing official from the armies. Letters from Munich state, that Moreau continues his retreat through the Brigaw.
LONDON, October 5.
Yesterday the captain of an American vessel was committed to Tothillfields Bridewell, on suspicion of being a spy from the French government. He was taken from on board his vessel in the river by an order from the secretary of state, before whom he was examined yesterday morning.
October 10.
Some loose accounts were received from Flanders on Saturday, which state the French having been repeatedly defeated in the Hundsruck, but that on the Sieg they had obtained some partial advantages. Moreau is also traced in his retreat as far as Tubingen on the Neckar, where he hoped to be able to make a stand, having received some reinforcements from France by way of Kehl.
Pretty well connected letters have been received through the above mentioned channel, from Italy, of so late a date as the 19th Sept. by which it appears, that in a sortie made from Mantua the preceding day, the French were repulsed with a loss of 4000 men: they had, moreover, says these letters, been compelled to retreat from Bozzan, and recross the Nevis in confusion. These accounts, however, want confirmation.
October 11.
A young French Emigrant is at present in the custody of the Police, by order of the duke of Portland, for having entered into a specific agreement with the Spanish Ambassador to raise 15,000 men upon the Continent only, for the service of that country. He was seized at 4 o'clock in the morning, and the papers were found sewed in the mattress of his bed. He was formerly upon the half pay of the reduced emigrant corps, but had the precaution to throw it up previous to the liquidation in question.
Lord Cornwallis is erecting four batteries on Clanton beach, to command the entrance of the Malton river, in Essex; and the gentlemen of that county at their Quarter Sessions on Wednesday last, directed a volunteer company consisting of 400 Yeomanry, to be immediately raised and trained for working the guns of the said batteries, at the request of Lord Howard de Walden, the Lord Lieutenant of the said county.
PROTEST OF EARL FITZWILLIAM.
The following protest of earl Fitzwilliam, to the late address of the house of lords to his majesty, is so interesting, on account of containing the sentiments of that highly respectable nobleman, in regard to making peace with France, that we think it necessary to insert it at length—
The motion being made that the address (in answer to his majesty's speech) do pass.—It passed in the affirmative.
DISSENTIENT.
1st, Because, by this address, unamended as it stands, the sanction of the lords is given to a series of measures as ill-judged with regard to their object as they are derogatory from the dignity of his majesty's crown, and from the honor of this kingdom. The reiteration of solicitations for peace, to a species of power, with whose very existence all fair and equitable accommodation is incompatible, can have no other effect than that, which it is notorious, all our solicitations have hitherto had. They must encrease the arrogance and ferocity of the common enemy of all nations; they must fortify the credit, and fix the authority of an odious government over an enslaved people; they must impair the confidence of all other powers in the magnanimity, constancy, and fidelity of the British councils; and it is much to be apprehended it will inevitably tend to break the spring of that energy, and to lower that spirit which has characterized in former times this high-minded nation, and which, far from sinking under misfortune, has even risen with the difficulties and dangers in which our country has been involved.
2d, Because no peace, such as may be capable of recruiting the strength, economizing the means, augmenting the resources, and providing for the safety of this kingdom and its inseparable connections and dependencies, can be had with the usurped power now exercising authority in France, considering the description, the character, and the conduct of those who compose that government, the methods by which they have obtained their power, the policy by which they hold it, and the maxims they have adopted, openly professed and uniformly acted on, towards the destruction of all governments not formed on their model and subservient to their domination.
3d, Because the idea that this kingdom is competent to defend itself, its laws, liberties, and religion, under the general subjugation of all Europe, is presumptuous in the extreme, contradictory to the supposed motives for our present eager solicitations for peace, and is certainly contrary to the standing policy both of state and commerce, by which Great Britain has hitherto flourished.
4th, Because, while the common enemy exercises his power over the several states of Europe in the way we have seen, it is impossible long to preserve our trade, or, what cannot exist without it, our naval power. This hostile system seizes on the keys of the dominions of these powers, without any consideration of their friendship, their family, or their neutrality; prescribes laws to them as to conquered provinces; mulcts and fines them at pleasure; forces them, without any particular quarrel, into direct hostility with this kingdom, and expels us from such ports and markets as he thinks fit; informeth that (Europe remaining under its present slavery) there is no harbour which we can enter without her permission, either in a commercial

cial or naval character. This general interdiction cannot be begged off; we must resist it by our power, or we are already in a state of vassalage. 5th. Because, whilst this usurped power shall continue thus constituted, and thus disposed, no security whatever can be hoped for in our colonies and plantations, those invaluable sources of our national wealth and our naval power. This war has shown that the power prevalent in France, by intentionally disorganizing that plantation system (which France had in common with all other European nations) and by inventing the order and relations therein established, has been able with a naval force, altogether contemptible, and with very inconsiderable succours from Europe, to baffle in a great measure the most powerful armaments ever sent from this country into the West-Indies, and at an expence hitherto unparalleled; and has, by the force of example and by the effect of her machinations, produced, at little or no expence to herself, either of blood or treasure, universal desolation and ruin, by the general destruction of every thing valuable & necessary for cultivation, throughout several of our islands, lately among the most flourishing and productive. The new system, by which these things have been effected, leave our colonies equally endangered in peace as in war. It is therefore with this general system (of which the West-India scheme is but a ramification) that all antient establishments are essentially at war for the sake of self-preservation.
6th. Because it has been declared from the throne, and in effect the principle has been adopted by parliament, that there was no way likely to obtain a peace, commonly safe and honorable, but through the antient and legitimate government long established in France. That government in its lawful succession has been solemnly recognized, and assistance and protection as solemnly promised to those Frenchmen who should exert themselves in its restoration. The political opinion upon which this recognition was made, is very far from being weakened by the conduct of the new-invented government. Nor are our obligations of good faith, pledged on such strong motives of policy to those who have been found in their allegiance, dissolved; nor can they be so, until fairly directed efforts have been made to secure this great fundamental point. None have yet been employed with the smallest degree of vigour and perseverance.
7th. Because the example of the great change made by the usurpation in the moral and political world (more dangerous than all her conquests) is by the present procedure confirmed in all its force. It is the first successful example furnished by history of the subversion of the antient government of a great country, and of all its laws, orders, and religion, by the corruption of mercenary armies, and by the seduction of a multitude, bribed by confiscation to sedition, in defiance of the feule, and to the entire destruction of almost the whole proprietary body of the nation. The fatal effects of this example must be felt in every country. New means, new arms, new pretexts are furnished to ambition; and new persons are intoxicated with that poison.
8th. Because our eagerness in suing for peace may induce the persons exercising power in France erroneously to believe, that we act from necessity, and are unable to continue the war, a persuasion, which, in the event of an actual peace, will operate as a temptation to them to renew that conduct which brought on the present war; neither shall we have any of the usual securities in peace. In their treaties, they do not acknowledge the obligation of that law which for ages has been common to all Europe. They have not the same sentiments nor the same ideas of their interest in the preservation of peace, which have hitherto influenced all regular governments; they do not in the same manner feel public distress, or the private misery of their subjects; they will not find the same difficulty on the commencement of a new war to call their whole force into sudden action, where, by the law, every citizen is a soldier, and the persons and property of all are liable at once to arbitrary requisitions. On the other hand, no attempt has been made to show in what manner, whether by alliances, by force, military or naval, or by the improvement and augmentation of our finances, we shall be better able to resist their hostile attempts after the peace than at the present hour. If we remain armed, we cannot reap the ordinary advantage of peace in economy; if we disarm, we shall be subject to be driven into a new war, under every circumstance of disadvantage, unless we now prepare ourselves to suffer, with patience and submission, whatever insults, indignities, and injuries we may receive from that insolent, domineering, and unjust power.
9th. Because the inability of humbling ourselves again to solicit peace in a manner, which is a recognition of the French republic, contrary to all the principles of the war, the danger of peace, if obtained, the improbability of its duration, and the perseverance of the enemy throughout the interval of peace in their mischievous system, is not conjecture, but certainty. It has been avowed by the actual governors of France at the very moment they had before them our application for a passport. They chose that moment for publishing a state paper; breathing the most hostile mind. In it they simulate and goad us, by language the most obnoxious and offensive. They frankly tell us, that it is not our interest to desire peace, for that they regard peace only as the opportunity for preparing fresh means for the annihilation of our naval power. By making peace they do not conceal that it will be their object—to wrest from us our maritime preponderancy—to re-establish what they invidiously call the freedom of the seas—to give a new impulse to the Spanish, Dutch and French marines—and to carry to the highest degree of prosperity the industry and commerce of those nations, which they state to be our rivals, which they charge us with “unjustly attacking, when we can no longer dupe,” and which they throughout contemplate as their own dependencies, united in arms, and furnishing resources from our future humiliation and destruction. They resort to that well-known and constant allusion of theirs to antient history, by which representing “France as modern Rome, and England as modern Carthage”—they accuse us of national perfidy, and hold England up “as an ob-
ject to be blotted out from the face of the earth.” They falsely assert that the English nation supports with impatience the continuance of the war, and has extorted all his majesty’s overtures for peace, “by complaints and reproaches,” and above all not only in that passage, but throughout their official note, they shew the most marked adherence to that insidious and intolerable policy of their system, by which they, from the commencement of their revolution, fought to trouble and subvert all the governments in Europe. They studiously disjoin the English nation from its sovereign.
10th. Because, having acted throughout the course of this awful and momentous crisis upon the principles herein expressed, and after having on the present occasion, not only reconsidered, and jealously examined their soundness and validity, but gravely attended to, and scrupulously weighed the merits of all those arguments which have been offered to induce a dereliction of them, conscientiously adhering to, and firmly abiding by them, I thus solemnly record them, in justification of my own conduct, and in discharge of the duty I owe to my king, my country, and general interests of civil society.
WENTWORTH FITZWILLIAM.
October 1.
ARMY OF ITALY.
Buonaparte, General in Chief of the Army of Italy, to the Executive Directory.
Head-Quarters of Due Casteili, 30th Fructidor (Sept. 16.) “I gave you information, citizen Directors, in my last dispatch, that gen. Wurmier, obliged to abandon Ballano, fled in person, with the wrecks of two battalions of grenadiers of Montebello, between Vicenza and Verona, where he had rejoined the division he had ordered to march to Verona, 4500 cavalry, and 2000 infantry, the moment he knew that I was pressing on to Trent.
“The 23d, the division of gen. Angereau arrived at Padua. They collected together the wrecks of the baggage of the Austrian army, and 400 men who escorted it. The division of Molena arrived at Vicenza. Wurmier found himself between the Adige and the Brenta, because two divisions of the army flanked him for the passage from him. There remained no other resource for him than to throw himself into Mantua. But having foreseen, from the moment of my quitting Trent, this movement of gen. Wurmier, I left in Verona the general division Kilmaine, and planted artillery upon the ramparts of the place.
“General Kilmaine, with his usual sagacity, kept the enemy in check forty-eight hours, repulsing them by the fire of his artillery every time they attempted to penetrate. I had only been able to leave him forces too inadequate to control a populous town, and to repulse a numerous army; that had so many reasons to spare nothing that might render them masters of so important a place. He praises highly the commander of battalion, Murton, who commanded the artillery there.
“The 23d, in the evening, gen. Wurmier learnt the arrival of the division of gen. Massena at Vicenza. He felt that he had not a moment more to lose. He defiled along the Adige, which he crossed at Porto Legnago.
“The 24th, in the evening, the division of gen. Massena passed the Adige at Rosasco, in the time that the division of gen. Angereau marched from Padua to Port Legnago, being necessitated to inform his left, that the enemy might not try to save themselves by Castel Bardo.
“The 25th, at dawn, I gave orders to the division of gen. Massena to march to Sanguinetto, to bar the passage against Wurmier. General Schuquet, with one brigade, marched to Castelletto, and had orders to cut down all the bridges across the Wollinella.
BATTLE OF CEREIA.
“To go from Ronco to Sanguinetto, there are two roads; one of which leads from Ronco, passes to the left, following the Adige, and joins the road of Porto Legnago at Marana. The second leads directly from Ronco to Sanguinetto. It was that which should have been taken; on the contrary, they took the first. Gen. Murat, at the head of some hundred light horse, arrived at Cerea and encountering the head of Wurmier’s division, he overthrew some squadrons of cavalry. Gen. Pigeon, commanding the advanced guard of gen. Massena, finding the cavalry engaged, hurried on with his light-infantry to sustain them. He passed the village, and took possession of the bridge, across which the enemy of necessity were to pass.
“The corps of the division of gen. Massena were yet at a great distance. After an instant of astonishment and alarm, felt by the division of Wurmier, that general made his dispositions, overthrew our advanced guard, and retook the bridge and the village of Cerea.
“I had marched there at the first report of cannon, but it was too late. We must make a bridge of gold to an enemy that flies, or oppose a barrier of steel. It was necessary to resolve to allow the enemy to escape, who from every calculation, and by every probability, would be obliged that day to lay down his arms and surrender himself prisoner.
“We continued to rally our advanced guard, and returned half the way from Ronco to Cerea. We found, on the field of battle in the morning, more than an hundred of the enemy killed, and we made 250 prisoners. We are indebted to the courage of the 8th battalion of grenadiers, and to the coolness of brigadier general Victor, that escaped so well from a combat to unequal.
BATTLE OF CASTELLARO.
“Wurmier defiled all the night of the 25th towards Mantua, with such rapidity that in the morning he arrived early at Nogara. He learnt that the bridges of the Molinella were cut down, and that a French division waited for him at Castelletto. He saw that it would be indiseret to try to force Castelletto, because at the dawn we were in pursuit of him.
“I yet hoped to find him engaged with general Schuquet, but unluckily he had not cut down the bridge of Villa Impensa on the Molinella, at the distance of a league to his right. Wurmier had defiled by that.
“The moment general Schuquet knew his passage, he sent some horse to harass and retard his march; but he had too few troops to succeed.
“General Charbon, with three hundred men, was surrounded by a regiment of Cuirassiers—Instead of posting themselves in the ditches, these brave men determined boldly to face the cuirassiers; but after a vigorous resistance they were surrounded. Gen. Charbon was killed in battle, and three hundred men made prisoners, among whom was Du-goulet of the 13th half brigade of light infantry.
TAKING OF PORTO LEGNAGO.
“Gen. Angereau arriving the 24th before Porto Legnago, invested the place. Gen. Massena sent thither the brigade of gen. Victor, to invest it on the side of the Adige. After some parley, the garrison, 1673 strong, surrendered themselves prisoners of war on the 27th. We found there 22 pieces of field ordnance with their carriages and wagons; and the 300 men made prisoners by Wurmier in the battle of Cerea, who by this means were delivered.
BATTLE OF DUE CASTELLI.
“On the 28th, the division of gen. Massena set out at day-break, from Castelletto towards Mantua, by the road of Due Castelli, by seizing the fauxbourg St. George’s to compel the enemy to enter the place. The engagement began at noon—it was too eagerly commenced. The 5th half brigade lost the road, and did not arrive in time. The numerous cavalry of the enemy confounded our light-infantry; but the brave 3d sustained the combat till night, and we remained masters of the field of battle, two miles distant from the Fauxbourg St. George.
“General Schuquet, after having invested the Citadel, attacked the Favorite. Already he obtained the greatest success, and had taken from the enemy three pieces of cannon, when he was obliged to fall back and abandon the artillery he had taken.
BATTLE OF ST. GEORGE’S.
“In the mean time, the Italians, Hussars and Cuirassiers of the enemy, flushed with this flight, surged in the direction of the Favorite. General Massena laid ambuscades for them, which obtained a success the more happy, as it set our light infantry at work with them. We killed or took about 250. The Cuirassiers were safe, at least from musket shot. The enemy had at least three hundred wounded. It was in these little checks that gen. Massena displayed great firmness in rallying his troops, and reconstituting them to the battle.
“General Kilmaine, at the head of the 20th dragoons, stopped the enemy, and by that did great service. These
battalions, which in reality were only breathings, gave great confidence to our enemy. We were to augment this by every possible means; for no greater happiness could chance than to drive the enemy to a serious affair beyond the ramparts.
“Gen. Massena took, on the night of the 28th, a position behind. On the morrow, at day-break, we learnt that the enemy had drawn out nearly all the garrison to defend the Favorite and St. George’s, and by so doing to preserve the means of getting forage for their numerous cavalry.
“At two o’clock in the afternoon, gen. Bon, provisionally commanding the division of gen. Angereau, who is ill, arrived from Courgerolo along the Mincio, and attacked the enemy posted at St. George’s, on our left.
“Gen. Saliceti hastened to cut off the communication of the Favorite with the citadel.
“Gen. Pigeon, passing by Villa Nova, was to turn a plain, where the cavalry of the enemy could manoeuvre, and to cut off the communication from the Favorite to St. George’s.
“While these different attacks were commenced, general Victor, with the 18th half brigade of Battle, in close column by battalions, at the head of his division, marched against the enemy. The 3d half brigade, supported by general Kilmaine, at the head of two regiments of cavalry, marched by the right to receive the enemy, and push them on the side where general Pigeon was.
“The battle began on all sides with great spirit. The 8th battalion of grenadiers, placed in the van, and led by the adjutant general Leclerc and my aid-du-camp Marmont, performed prodigies of valour.
“The 4th half brigade, who on the left had begun the battle, attracted the particular attention of the enemy, who saw themselves penetrated in the centre. We carried at St. George’s. A squadron of cuirassiers charged a battalion of the 18th, which received them bayonet fixed, and made prisoners of all who survived the charge.
“We have made in this battle 2000 prisoners, among whom are a complete regiment of Cuirassiers and a division of Hussars. The enemy must have had 2000 men killed or wounded. We have taken 25 pieces of cannon, with their wagons attached.
“Among our wounded, on the 28th and 29th, are Gen. Victor, Gen. Bertin, Gen. St. Hilaire, Gen. Mayers, wounded, dying on the assistance of a soldier charged by one of the enemy’s cuirassiers; Gen. Morat, slightly wounded, Lannes, head of brigade Talland, head of battalion, Leclerc, head of brigade, of the 10th regiment of light horse, was wounded, dying on the assistance of his regiment—in the affair of the 29th. The chief of brigade of the 18th, who had his horse shot under him in the affair of Bassano, distinguished himself particularly. Sacket, head of battalion of the 18th, was wounded on the 29th, fighting courageously at the head of his battalion. No one of the general officers is dangerously wounded, and I hope we shall not long be deprived of their services.
“Thus if the garrison of Mantua has been reinforced by nearly 2000 infantry, I reckon that the battle of St. George’s may have cost them an equal number. As to the cavalry, it is accessions to the embarrassment and consummation all.
“I do not doubt that Wurmier will use every possible effort to get out of Mantua with them.
“Since the 15th of the month we have been constantly fighting, and always the same men against new troops. The enemy, whom we have nearly destroyed, was then very formidable—it appeared also that they had hostile designs, but we have prevented them, and surprised them at the time they were making their movement.
“I send you my aid-du-camp Marmont, bearer of 22 flags from the Austrians.

ELECTORS.
The State of Maryland chooses ten Electors of President and Vice-President of the United States. We are assured that seven out of this number are firm Federalists.
Extract of a letter from Fort-Royal, (Martinique,) dated October 12, 1796.
“The mortality that prevails here among the army, navy and inhabitants is almost beyond conception. It appears from the returns that there have died in the army, from the first of April last to the first of September, 5650. A company of artillerymen which consisted of 130, lost in the month of August 61 men, and out of 23 officers, there died 17—and their lots of men among the shipping here is not less considerable, for the Majestic lost by death in the space of six weeks 225 of her officers and men—at St. Lucia it is said to be more sickly if possible than at this place. It was informed yesterday that there was but about 500 at St. Lucia fit for duty, and that Abercromby’s army was considered as knocked up.”

NEW-YORK, November 21.
Captain Cobb, of the ship Hazen, arrived yesterday from Cadiz, which he left the 9th October, informs us, that, about the 20th September, the Spanish fleet, consisting of near forty sail, left that Harbour, and with the intention, as was supposed, of joining a French fleet in the Mediterranean. The British vessels remained still embargoed, and the captains and crews leaving them, as no prospect of accommodation with the British court appeared to be near at hand. This is the latest intelligence from Spain.
Mr. Izanaki, the American consul, had engaged his passage with captain Cobb, for this country; who waited two days for him, and was then obliged to leave him.
Extract of a letter from Messrs. Terry and Co. dated, Malaga, October 10, to their correspondents in this city.
“HOSTILITIES having actually commenced on our part against England, we expect, that THIS VERY DAY WAR will be formally DECLARED.”
The above is one day later than the intelligence by captain Cobb, from Cadiz.
Brook Watson, esquire, the British commissary general during the last war in this country, and lately on the continent of Europe, has been elected lord mayor of London.
Talleyrand Perigord, late bishop of Autun, had arrived in France, and was immediately appointed secretary of the National Institute, of which he is a member.

On Saturday evening arrived, the French corvette Ranger, of 14 guns, in a short passage from Brest. She is said to bring dispatches—and the report also is, that she brings a NEW commission for citizen Adet, as minister near this government. On her passage, she had a BATTLE with an English armed brig—from certain circumstances, supposed to have been the Swallow (brig) packet, which failed from Plymouth a few days after the Princess of Wales packet, now in this harbour.

SWANN'S, Riding School, Horse Academy & Infirmary. Adjoining the Public Square, Market Street.  T. SWANN RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and flatters himself that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, obstinate and dangerous diseases in Horses, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will se- cure their future favours and recommendation. He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety—their horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the riders; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which providence has so bounti- fully bestowed on them. Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience. The utility of the above institution has never been question- ed, that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's stud will manifest, and T. SWANN as the first establisher of the veterinary art, foliages and relies upon the support of that public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution—the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges listed in his hand bill. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respect- able gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection. N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed. Nov. 5. athet.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri- vate buildings to be erected in the City of Washington— Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c, and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the draw- ing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale; the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells Cooper's Ferry. co
RANAWAY, About the 1st of October last, from the plantation of Mr. Thomas F. Brooke, (in Prince George's county) to whom he was hired, a NEGRO MAN, named CESAR; 33 years of age; about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; well made; of a yellowish complexion; a little pockmarked; has, when spoken to, rather a down look, and submissive tone of voice: the clothes he had before he absconded were of plain, such as labouring Negroes usually wear, but these he may probably exchange for others: he will doubtless endeavour to pass for a freeman, having, as I have been informed, assumed the name of Butler: I have reason to believe that he went to Baltimore, from whence he is said to have gone to some part of the Susquehanna, probably with a view of getting to Pennsylvania. A reward of Thirty Dollars will be given to the person who may take him and so secure him in some jail that I may get him again, if taken in this state, and Fifty dollars if taken out of the state, and if brought home or secured in the jail of Prince George's county all reasonable charges will be paid by ALEXR.
