PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 18.
From the New-York, commercial Advertiser of May 22.
TO THE PUBLIC.
In the Argus of this morning is a paragraph that calls for something more than verbal reply. The Editor in attempting to support that mercenary wretch Joel Barlow, against the just indignation of his countrymen, has the unparalleled audacity to compare the President of the United States to Benedict Arnold, the detestable traitor of his country!—If this public outrage upon the Chief Magistrate of the Union is not made the subject of judicial investigation, I shall consider those whose more immediate duty it is to prosecute for this atrocious offence, as far as Sandy Hook. This Com- pany must and will be the means of exposing Mrs. Greenleaf of any concern in this publication, but if she will commit the management of her press to the guidance of such miscreants she must abide the consequences. CENSOR MORUM.
STATE OF MANHATTAN, &c.
Interrogatories to be administered to Aaron Burr, Esquire, Ex-Representative of the people, Candidate for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the United States, and Governor of the State of New-York, and unsuccessful Candidate together with Matthew L. Davis and others to Represent the City of New-York in the next Assembly.
(Socrates observes, that he is not personally desirous of inculpating Mr. Burr, but only wishes to investigate the origin of the Manhattan Company, which he considers the most outrageous insult ever offered to an afflicted city. This Company must and will be destroyed, or else confined to some justifiable object. The writer does not even know what are the true answers to some of the following questions, but as he thinks the Socratic method useful in the investigation of truth, he seems to pursue his queries, and he advises the parties concerned to answer them. Socrates is one of the people, and it is his right to investigate the conduct of those who hold themselves up as candidates for public trust.)
 1. Is the Manhattan Company instituted for the purposes of bringing water into the city or of banking and speculation?  2. If it is instituted for the purposes of banking and speculation, wherefore does almost the whole of the act appear to talk of water, and wherefore do you infuse the religious sentiments as well as the misfortunes of our citizens by hypocritically invoking the "blessing of God," in aid of a wicked speculation upon the public calamity?  3. Are not all Corporations unwieldy machines, with difficulty made amenable to the laws, and attended with many inconveniences? Is it not on that account that the power of making them is very sparingly exercised by the legislature, and that they are never made but for the purpose of compelling some one single object, and that object such a one as the legislature considers to be of public utility and not attainable by the exertions of disconnected individuals? Did you ever hear of any corporation (except the Manhattan Company) instituted for all possible purposes, and therefore having a right to pursue useless or unsatisfactory objects as well as useful and salutary ones? Does not the Manhattan Company differ from all other corporations in this, that having a right to pursue all objects whatever, it cannot be confined to useful objects only nor to any one object, but may exercise its powers in ways which a wise legislature ought to discourage even in individuals? Cannot this company employ its capital in any objects whatever which the members think for their private advantage, however destructive they may be to the public interest?  4. Does not the difficulty of rendering your company amenable to public justice, the number of its members, its great capital and the universal extent of its powers enable you to monopolize trade and exchange, oppress the industry of individual merchants, convulse private and public credit and speculate on the wants, distresses and public calamities of the country, as in effect you are now proposing to do?  5. If the legislature should incorporate a company with the exclusive privilege of robbing on the high ways, do you not believe that fit persons could be found to fill up the subscription and that the stock would fall at par?  6. Are not three fourths of your Directors Democrats? Do you know whether the Democrats ever clamored against the establishment of any Banks whatever, even against those which had limited and well defined powers bestowed by honest legislatures?  7. If the Manhattan Company can now establish a bank it is not authorized to pursue for the space of ten years, any speculations the most foreign to the bringing of water, without expending one cent for that purpose? If they should choose to do so, can you, as a lawyer, point out any remedy that can be pursued against them till after the ten years are past? If a prosecution should then be brought against them for the forfeiture of their corporate rights, could such prosecution be probably determined in less than five years? and would not the work of bringing water thus begun at the end of fifteen years from this date, require two or three years to be completed? If in the mean time our city should be ravaged by the yellow fever, is it not perfectly in the power of your company to exclude any supply of water from abroad for the space of 12, 15 or 20 years, provided they should find stock jobbing more profitable than the introduction of water?

NEW-YORK, May 27.
The letter further mentions, that Mr. Talleyrand has submitted a lengthy Memorial to the Directory, in which he strongly recommends the expediency of laying aside all ill will and animosity towards America, and of adjusting matters with us as speedily and amicably as they can; and further proposes, that an Ambassador Extraordinary be instantly dispatched to America, to endeavor to settle the differences existing between the two Republics."
This information comes from a source too respectable to admit of a doubt of its authenticity. Now is the trying time approaching. Having been foiled in their threats, they now mean to employ the more dangerous weapon of insinuation and intrigue. How happy are we that a man of Mr. Adams's penetration and firmness is at the head of public affairs.
Last evening arrived the ship Mermaid, of Portsmouth, N. Hampshire, 25 days from Martinique; the schr. Hera, Savage, 22 days from Antigua; and the sloop, from Nevis—all under convoy of the Portsmouth as far as Sandy Hook. In the Mermaid came passengers: Mous. Marolles—Mous. Malherbes, lady and two daughters, intending to reside at Elizabethtown. M. Malherbes was formerly an officer in the French army in America.
The Schooner Eliza from Charleston, on Wednesday last, on her homeward voyage, left the U. S. frigate Portsmouth, with 18 sail of American vessels from St. Thomas's, bound to different ports. This fleet originally consisted of 73 sail, from the different islands, some of which have arrived.]
CHARLESTON, May 16.
A cause of considerable consequence to the United States, and the situation in which she stands as a neutral nation with some of the belligerent powers, was heard on Tuesday and Wednesday last, in the Circuit Court of the United States, held in this city.
Present—the hon. Oliver Ellsworth, chief justice; the hon. Thomas Bee, district judge; Don Diego Morphy, Bill in Equity, to enjoin the defendant from selling the ship, her tackle, apparel, furniture, &c. or to remove the same from the port of New-York, to the intent that the same may be seized by the British, and to prevent the sale thereof. The defendant, on the other hand, prays that the said Bill be dismissed, and that the plaintiff be non-suited, and that the costs of suit be paid to the defendant. The cause was argued by Mr. Desserre and Mr. Parker, for the complainant; Mr. Pringle and Mr. Ward for the defendant.
On the part of the defendant it was objected, that the intended sale is neither contrary to any existing treaty, or regulation of the executive of the United States, or law of Congress, or law of nations; and that the sale of prizes made by the British, from their enemies, the Spaniards, may be lawfully made in the United States, till our government does, (as it may) by treaty or otherwise, prevent the same; that the judiciary power cannot interfere with the executive to enjoin a sale, until the executive shall positively interdict the same.
On the part of the complainant it was answered, that where no right to sell is granted by treaty, or express permission to sell is shown, that the court of equity is the proper court to apply to, to restrain the party; that it is a right which cannot be supposed to pass by implication, as it goes to cession of a sovereignty; that the permitting a sale would be a breach of neutrality, which ought to place the belligerent powers on an equal footing in all respects.
The chief justice delivered the opinion of the court, to the following purport: The right to sell cannot be claimed by treaty. On what ground does the right to sell rest? If it exists at all, it rests on a permission. Without doubt a nation may permit a belligerent power to sell, without violating its duties as a neutral power. Treaties aside, it is wholly discretionary. The sovereignty of a neutral power authorizes the exercise of such discretion. There is a difference between aiding commerce, and the sale of prizes; silence in the ordinary cases of commerce, may be considered as consenting to it; but the sale of prizes stands on different ground, and a positive permission must be granted, before the right can be said to exist. If permitted to sell, they must sell the prizes without a regular enquiry being made, whether it was a legal prize or not, pursuant to the courts of the capturing power; and there is in such case great danger of fraud, and even of the commission of piracy, (a case in which all maritime nations are concerned.) I do not say that a condemnation is requisite; but all nations are interested to discountenance it. The selling of prizes is often very enuring, and intently draws in the citizens of a neutral state to depart from the observance of a strict neutrality, which is a reason why the neutral nation should be consulted. In this case, no permission from the government is shown; none is granted by treaty. An attempt therefore to exercise it, is incompatible with the sovereignty of the state. What we are at liberty to grant as favours, must be granted equally; and as we are precluded by treaty from granting this right to a Spaniard, the reason applies with force, why we should not grant it to the British.
As the court does not undertake to decide what it would be proper for the executive to do, I wish to frame the decree so as to admit an application to the executive. Let there be an injunction to stop the sale until the further order of the court, unless permission shall be sooner obtained from the President of the United States.
Captain Michael Peirce, of the ship Altea, of New York, burthen nearly 400 tons, with a valuable cargo on board, of tobacco, logwood, sugar and cotton, owned entirely by John Cornelius Vanderheuwel, of New-York, with only one passenger on board, who was a young Spanish gentleman, bound home to his parents in Spain, failed from New York, on the 2d of December; on the 20th of the same month was taken
by the British frigate Thalia, commanded by Lord Henry Paulet, who took capt. Peirce, his mate and ten of his crew on board the frigate; after some time, sent back to the Altea the mate only, whose name is Thomas F. Bates. On the 16th January arrived at Gibraltar, the frigate and ship in company; performed a quarantine of a fortnight. On the 28th January went to court, where the Altea was libelled: there a packet was produced, addressed to Talleyrand, the contents in cyphers, which the judge, William Mansfield Morrison, who appeared to be about 18 or 20 years of age, surrogate of Duncan Fraser, esq. judge of vice-admiralty, said he could make nothing of, nor could any of the court. This packet of cyphers, capt. Peirce understood, was found on board the Altea, concealed in her quarter galleries, some days after he was carried on board the frigate: the captain of the frigate, it was said, conveyed the packet to admiral Jervis, who conveyed it to the American consul. Under pretence that the above packet being mysterious, must of course be treasonable, capt. Peirce was sent prisoner again on board the frigate on the 31st January. On the 9th of February, the frigate sailing, capt. Peirce was removed on board the Altea; on the 25th was sent on board the prison ship; and on the 20th of March was sent on board the Schooner Nancy for Charleston.
In the mean time capt. Peirce learnt, that the Altea and her cargo were condemned, as the property of the enemies of Great Britain; even his own small adventure was not spared.
Capt. Peirce understood that the American consul sent him on here, consigned to the American secretary of state, in consequence of a note from Lord St. Vincent, requesting him to send him and his mate to America as state-prisoners.
I have been induced to publish the foregoing narrative in this place, in consequence of an illiberal paragraph which appeared this morning in a paper called the State Gazette, where the editor, or more probably, I am told, some little-minded paragraph-maker, says, in an ironical style, speaking of myself and mate, "These good men will be very soon able to visit the seat of government, and state their grievances;" and also to remove from the minds of my fellow citizens, any prejudice they might harbour against me, on reading the contemptible account he has given of a transaction, of which the particulars were unknown to him, and which could only spring from malice or ignorance. I fail to-morrow for New-York, from whence I shall repair to the seat of government, where I flatter myself my conduct will appear becoming of the character I held, and where will be investigated the propriety of an American consul's sending me and my mate home as prisoners, at the request of a British admiral, after that admiral had caused to be condemned, without a shadow of proof that has come to my knowledge, a vessel, which perhaps was as valuable as any one that has left the continent for a number of years past.

Interesting Information.

Extracts of a letter from Bordeaux, dated March 10, 1799, to a respectable Merchant in this city.
"I cannot close this letter without informing you, that the ship Pigeon, captain Green, bound to China, and brought into L'Orient last November having on board 160,000 dollars, has been liberated by the Tribunal of Commerce, together with all her money, except about 37,000, which were got properly carried on the bills of lading, not being specified for whose conduct they were shipped; this valuable prize having been made by two French frigates, her release is considered as indicative of this Government to renew Negotiation with America."
The Governor has appointed Mr. John Infkeep, Mr. George Fox, and Capt. Wm. Jones, to be Aldermen of the City of Philadelphia, in the room of Hilary Baker, and Isaac Howell, Esquires, deceased, and J. C. Stocker, Esq. resigned.
The desire of Talleyrand, or of his masters for peace and security, must be very much like that of a robber under the gallows. Rarely is a wretch overtaken by the hand of justice, but he refuses to sin no more, and, if he falls a victim, closes his career by exhorting mankind to a general repentance; if by any means, he wavers his doom, he seldom fails to resume his ancient practices. But there are people so devoted by ignorance and obstinacy as to take for a serious disposition towards peace, the idle protestations of men, who have no more control over the means of bringing it about, than they have over the brutal and sanguinary passions with which they have inundated the society they are now vainly imagined to be capable of restoring to order and harmony.
[The following is the article of the Executive Directory, to which Toussaint refers, in his article, published in yesterday's Gazette.]
CAPE FRANCAIS.
From the Registry of the Deliberations of the Executive Directory. Paris, 13 Thermidor, year six of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
The Executive Directory, having heard the Report of the Minister of the Marine and of the Colonies;
Considering that the news recently received from the French colonies and from the continent of America, do not permit a doubt that cruisers, French, or calling themselves so, have infringed the laws of the Republic relative to cruising and prizes;
Considering, that foreigners and pirates have abused the latitude given them at Cayenne and in the Antilles, for arming to cruise or for letters of marque, to cover under the French flag their exactions, and the respect due to the law of nations, as well as to the persons and property of allies and of neutrals, decrees:
Art. I. In future, there shall not be delivered, in the colonies of America, any letter of marque, authority or permission to arm, whether for cruising or for war and merchandise, but by the particular Agents themselves of the Directory, who shall not have power to delegate this right to any person, nor shall themselves use it but in favor of owners, whose principles and whole means shall be well known to them, and shall be moreover held to conform themselves to all the laws of cruising and prizes, and specially to that of the 1 October 1793.
II. All letters of marque, authorities or commissions issued in the colonies of America, by the particular Agents of the Executive Directory or any other Agents civil and military, under their orders, to arm, whether for cruising or for war and merchandise, shall be regarded as null, after the thirteenth day following the publication of the present decree in the said colonies.
III. Every Agent or other delegate, residing in the neutral possessions, for the purpose of judging on the validity of the prizes made by the French cruisers, and who shall be suspected of having an interest direct or indirect in the armaments for cruising, or for war, and merchandise, shall be immediately recalled.
IV.

POSTSCRIPT
From the Boston Chronicle of May 23.
In our last, we stated to the public that we had information of a London paper being in town, containing accounts of the defeat of the Austrians in the battle with Gen. Massena. We have taken much pains to procure that paper, which we at last had the good fortune to obtain. We have extracted the most important accounts, among which are the official letters of General Massena.
UPPER RHINE, March 16.
The beginning of the campaign which has been opened on the frontiers of the Grisons, has not been favorable for the Austrians. The French have penetrated into the Grisons and on the 7th of March taken possession of Coire, the principal town, after having made General Aussenberg, and several thousand men prisoners. The following are the official accounts:
Letter from General Massena to the Helvetic Directory.
Head-Quarters at Aymoo, March 6.
Citizen Directors, I have the honor to inform you that I have received orders from my government to drive the Austrians from the Grison territory, in order to restore to their rights the patriots who fled into Helvetia; as the Austrian general returns no answer to my summons, I to-day attack him in several points. I hasten, Citizen Directors, to communicate to you the result. The different ferries of the Rhine being swelled by the thaw, were all useless except one. I caused a bridge to be thrown over the river near Aymoo over which I passed with the brigade of General Lorge: after a very obstinate action of four hours continuance, we possessed ourselves, as night came on, of the fortress of Luciensteig, which opened us a passage of the Grison territory. I hope to-morrow we shall be able to reap the fruits of this first success. In the mean time we have already taken 400 prisoners, among which are several officers. In the fort we took four pieces of cannon. The enemy had the advantage over us in their position and artillery; for, of the latter, we had none. Nothing could be equal to the obstinacy with which the enemy defended this important pass, but the intrepid courage of the conquerors. They made the attack with the bayonets. I wait the report of the more distant attacks. Greeting and esteem. (Signed) MASSENA.
Letter from General Massena, commander of the French army in Switzerland, to the French Minister at Rastadt.
Head-Quarters at Coire, March 7. Immediately after taking the important post of Luciensteig, I continued to press upon the enemy, whom I several times defeated, and entirely put to the rout. He has lost 11 pieces of cannon and four standards. General Aussenberg, whom I summoned to evacuate the Grison territory, a number of officers, and 3000 men, are made prisoners, and lastly Coire, the capital of the Grisons, is in the possession of the French army. Gen. Demont, who had orders to attack Reichenau, has made himself master of that place, as likewise of two bridges over the Rhine. He has taken from the enemy two pieces of cannon, two standards, and made 100 prisoners, among whom is a Lieutenant Colonel. Gen. Dudinot, who fought on my left has likewise defeated the enemy, and taken 17 pieces of cannon and 1500 prisoners. (Signed) MASSENA.
AUGSBURG, March 14.
The first reports of the actions at the sources of the Rhine were here very contradictory; but the truth is now ascertained: The French passed the Rhine in three places. On the left near Feldkirch, they forced Gen. Hotze to retreat; but this attack was only a feint; their principal force was at Balzers and Reichenau, whence they penetrated to Coire, the capital of the Grisons. This is very unfavorable for the position of the Austrian army and the communication with Germany and Italy. It is said the armed Grisons did not give the Austrians any support.
Gen. Latour is now drawing towards Ulm with 20,000 men.
The fortresses of Braunau and Indolstadt have been put by the Austrians into a good state of defence.
STRASBURGH, March 14.
The following is an extract of a letter from the French head quarters at Coire: "General Massena about midnight, on the 6th, summoned Gen. Aussenberg to evacuate the Grison territory. He refused, and was made prisoner the next day. When he came before General Massena, the latter said to him: "The day before yesterday in the evening I wrote to you, yesterday I received your answer, and to-day I have the pleasure of having you to dine with me." The arrival of the French at Coire has put an end to the process against the patriots. Nineteen thousand Swiss are already under arms, and commanded by General Keller, who made the English troops at Ostend prisoners.
The following are the accounts of the movements of the armies in Suabia.
GUNZBURG, March 10.
The Austrians have detached their posts from Ulm to Geisingen, and patrols of Hussars extend to Ehingen on the Danube. The advanced guard of the army of the Archduke Charles has passed the Iller near Aitrach, and is marching towards Leutkirch.
STUTGARD, March 13.
On the 10 the French army took possession of the lines of Überlingen, extending to Moskirch, Sigmaringen, and the town of Voringen; and was in the neighbourhood
of the army of the Archduke Charles, in the lines of Lindau, Ravensburg, Biberach, and Ulm.
The advanced guard of the army of the Archduke Charles, consisting 13,000 men, is commanded by General Naundorf.
Another letter, same date. The French troops spread themselves wider, and are advancing on both sides of the Danube, towards Ulm. There are divisions of troops in Ehingen, Rosenfeld, Balingen, &c. On the 11th, a patrol of 60 dragoons came to Tubingen, but returned to Rottenburg the next day. French patrols have likewise advanced through Menzingen towards Urach. The Austrian patrols, as we are informed, have likewise advanced to Urach, and had a skirmish with the French patrols, in which neither side obtained any decisive advantage. The right wing of the French under Ferino, is extended from Stuhlingen to Teugen, and thence to Stockach.
This is the second post day that no letters have arrived from Lindau and the whole Lake of Constance. From Ulm, likewise we have received no intelligence. It is said that the French, after their victory, penetrated through the Voralberg, towards Suabia, and if they have not taken, have at least blockaded Lindau. The Austrians have 10,000 men in the Grison, but they cannot act together.
The Archduke Charles removed his head quarters on the 11th from Memmingen to Wurzach, three leagues from this city.
RASTADT, March 14.
To day the French Ministers gave in a Note to the Deputation, of which the following are the contents.
The underlined Ministers Plenipotentiaries of the French Republic have received information of the following fact.
"M. Von Hugel, the Austrian commissary at the Diet of Rastadt, on the 20th of Ventose (10th March) repaired to citizen Bacher, charge d'affaires to the French Republic to the Diet, and communicated to him an order from the Archduke Charles, General in chief of the army of the King of Hungary and Bohemia, importing that an Austrian officer was ready to escort the said charge d'affaires to the French advanced posts; to which citizen Bacher answered that his stay at Rastadt was in consequence of a resolution of the Diet, which had received the Imperial ratification, and that he would not depart unless compelled. Notwithstanding this declaration, however, only 24 hours were allowed him to prepare for his journey. The underlined denounce to the Deputation of the Empire, this violation of every principle and right, of which they must immediately send notice to their government."
"The Ministers Plenipotentiary of the French republic assure the minister plenipotentiary of his majesty the emperor of their consideration."
"BONNIER, "JEAN DERBY, "ROBERJOT." Rastadt, 24th of Ventose (March 14) 7th year of the French Republic.
SWITZERLAND.
ST. GALL, March 12.
Private letters and eye witnesses do justice to the bravery of the Austrians in the late battles; they did not allow the French to purchase an easy victory. They made several attacks at different places, and with the Grisons who had adhered to them fought with obstinacy till driven to the gates of Coire. The courage of the French, however, overcame all obstacles; the mountainous nature of the country, so favourable at first defence, rendered retreat more difficult after the French had carried the principal pass at Mayenfeld. It is said that on the 8th and 9th of this month, the Imperial troops at Disentis and Bernhardt likewise fell into the hands of the French; so that the number of prisoners exceeds 8000 men. General Dudinot, on the 8th, was at Feldkirch.
GERMANY.
STUTGARD, March 15.
General Jourdan has given a protection to the Prince of Hoenzollern-Hechingen which is as follows:
Head-Quarters, Villengen, March 8. "Jourdan, commander in chief of the armies of the Danube, of Helvetia, and of Observation, considering that the reigning Prince of Hoenzollern-Hechingen is connected by the ties of blood with the house of the King of Prussia; that a good understanding subsists between his Prussian Majesty and the French Republic, and also that the reigning Prince of Hoenzollern-Hechingen has always observed the strictest neutrality towards the French Republic, expressly orders that the military, and all those in the train of the army, shall respect the person of that Prince, and all the persons who belong to his house, or are in his service, as well as their properties. The Prince shall be enabled, in case of necessity, to demand assistance from the commanding officers, and the latter are enjoined to employ the armed force to carry into effect the present order. (Signed) JOURDAN.
VIENNA, March 13.
A courier from Constantinople has brought a copy of the treaty, offensive and defensive concluded on the 21st of February, between the Porte and the King of the two Sicilies. By the treaty the Porte stipulates immediately to support the king of Naples with 11,000 Albanians, and in the sequel with a much greater force.
The Mirquis de Chateler yesterday set off in great haste to serve as quarter-master-general in the army of Italy. The Russian troops marching into Germany through Galicia have received orders to hasten their advance. The Russian troops in Austria have received orders to move on the 18th of this month.
It is affirmed that a certain power has made an agreement with France for the new
trality of all Germany, which it will endeavour to maintain by force. The preparations for war go on with incredible vigor. All the roads are covered with troops marching to the different armies.
PROCLAMATION
Issued by order of his Imperial Majesty, dated March 4.
The troops of the French Republic have not only extended their encroachments on the right bank of the Rhine, and the other boundaries of the Austrian states; but, notwithstanding the military conventions, the districts of Ehrenbreitstein, which served as a barrier to the whole Empire, has, during a cessation of hostilities, been required to surrender by means of an hostile blockade, in order that it might fall into their possession. The hostile attempts of the French combined with the conscription of 200,000 men in France, as well as the powerful levies they made in Switzerland, have afforded sufficient reason to apprehend their views, and have rendered it necessary for his Imperial majesty, on his part, to adopt measures of safety. His Majesty, always accustomed to fulfil the treaties entered into by him, has been desirous of maintaining peace, with a moderation, under all circumstances so strikingly reasonable, that he could not have entertained the smallest ground for supposing a contrary disposition in this respect on the part of the French government. But now, since the ratification and encroaching attempts of the French Republic have rendered it every day more necessary to consult the preservation of tranquility, his majesty is unavoidably placed in a situation which obliges him to extend his preparations for general safety in preparation to the aid of the French, and to order his troops also to advance beyond those places where they had hitherto remained in a state of tranquility.
His Imperial Majesty has been led to adopt these measures of precaution not less from a consideration of the dangers with which the greatest part of the Empire is threatened, than from a regard to the security of his own hereditary dominions; and he can entertain no doubt that prompt measures will be taken for the general safety and defence of all the boundaries of the Empire, by which means his Majesty's hereditary dominions may at the same time be preserved.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 21.
Various changes in our ministry are talked of; and the captain Pacha, it is said, is to be dismissed. Buonaparte has completely gained over the merchants of Cairo and other towns in Egypt. He has every where entrenched himself in the strongest manner; and the Turks say that he has been allowed much time to establish himself in Egypt.
Buonaparte endeavoured to open negotiations for peace with the Pacha of Acre, but the latter sent back his deputation unheard. The news of the disorders of the King of Naples have made lively impressions on the Porte, and great projects are talked of for his reinstatement which are greatly encouraged by the English. In Egypt many French officers and soldiers have married Egyptian women.
[Our readers will observe that the battle between the Austrians commanded by the Arch Duke Charles, and the French under Jourdan, in which the latter were defeated with great loss, as announced some days ago, took place on or about the 15th of March, and subsequent to the affair between Aussenburg and Massena.]

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 2 dols. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dols. 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 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 everything, enhances the value of well authenti- cated 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 required: 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, Respectfully represents, That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, 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 hath obtained partial countenance from ma- ny individuals; but that he has delayed prosecu- ting 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 Memorials may be enabled to purchase co- pies of that record for themselves.
