At the time when the prizes quitted the coast of Egypt, the garrison of Alexandria was reduced to the greatest want.
The utmost confusion took place in the disembarkation of the French troops at Alexandria; in consequence of their having learnt that the English had appeared off that port a few days before.

The court ordered the habeas corpus, and that the prisoner should be brought up to the bar of the court instanter.
In some short time an answer was made to the court, that Theobald Wolfe Tone was unfit to be brought up, having dangerously wounded himself, and the surgeon belonging to the 5th dragoons appearing to give testimony...
The following is a copy of a correspondence between Theobald Wolfe Tone and major general the earl of Cavan, dated Derry prison, 12 Brumaire, an. 6. 2d Nov. 1798.
"My Lord, "On my arrival here, major Chester informed me that his orders from your lordship, in consequence, as I presume, of the directions of government, were, that I should be put in irons...

"Sir, "I have received your letter of this date from Derry goal, in which you inform me that you consider your being ordered into irons, as an insult and degradation to the rank you hold in the army of the French republic...

order I did this morning, for your being put in irons, was, that I looked on you (and you have proved yourself) a traitor and rebel to your sovereign and native country, and as such you shall be treated by me. "I shall enforce the order I give this morning, and I lament, as a man, the fate that awaits you; every indulgence shall be granted you by me individually, that is not inconsistent with my public duty. "I am, fir, your humble servant, "CAVAN, major-general."
LONDON, November 3. A letter from a gentleman at Dover, dated the 31st ult. says, "An action took place off this place, a day or two ago, between an English brig, the Raccoon, and a French lugger. After an obstinate defence, the latter was sunk by the Raccoon; seven of her crew were killed, and 14 wounded. The rest were picked up by the British ship. Yesterday the body of an English naval officer floated ashore, supposed to belong to the Raccoon, and was picked up by a soldier of the Herts militia stationed here."
PRIVATE LETTERS. "Dublin, October 26." "For some time back the county of Wexford was again becoming the scene of violence and depredation, and it was feared that it arose from the general disposition of the inhabitants. I, however, saw a letter to-day, which corrects that opinion. Hackett, one of the principal colleagues of Holt, was the chief of a banditti of thirteen persons by whom that part of the country was infested; and as the letter stated, he not only burned the chapels to excite the resentment of the people against their protestant neighbours, to whom the act was ascribed, but also wanted to seduce the inhabitants of the Macamores, a tract of country between Gorey and Wexford, into renewed rebellion; but this they happily resisted, and in proof of their determined allegiance, gave information of Hackett to the officer commanding at Gorey, who, on Saturday last, detached a part of the Camolin, Balinkeel, and Hunter Cowan's yeomanry against Hackett and his gang, with whom they came up at a place called Castle Talbot, and after a very severe conflict, killed nine and wounded two, whom they made prisoners and lodged in Gorey gaol. Hackett and Doyle, another notorious villain, effected their escape across the bog of Boiry, into which they rode as far as their horses could carry them, and then dismounting, perfected their flight on foot."
Another letter, same date. "The vessels have left Killala bay. No attempt was made to land." "Holt is said to have sent in terms of capitulation. He is reduced to twenty men. Lord Monck is said to have carried his offer."
November 9. A letter from Dublin states, that the head of the rebel Hackett is fixed on a pike in a conspicuous place of the town of Gorey. He was second in command to Holt. Information had been obtained that he and four of his gang were lurking in a wood near Gorey; several corps of yeomanry were collected, who besieged the wood and left no means of escape. Hackett and his party fought desperately, until their ammunition was quite expended; they were then surrounded. Three of them were killed. Hackett and another died fighting.
November 17. The Dublin mail of this day confirms the intelligence of the rebel chief Holt having surrendered: it is said on terms of transportation. Mr. Tone was alive when our letters left Dublin.
PLYMOUTH, November 15. This morning arrived from Falmouth, the Chapman armed ship, of 24 guns, capt. Kern, having in tow the Bellone, French frigate, of 40 guns, captured by the Ethalion, of 38 guns, on the coast of Ireland: she is totally dismasted, and otherwise a mere wreck.
Five P. M.—His majesty's ship Tigre, of 80 guns, captain fir Sydney Smith, is now getting under way in Cawsand Bay, to sail for the Mediterranean.
SHEERNEES, November 16. Arrived this day the Furie, of 36 guns, and the Waakzaamheid, of 28 guns, Dutch frigates, from Yarmouth, prizes to his majesty's ship Sirius, of 36 guns captain King.

SIR, FOR the shameful and studied falsehoods with which you have assailed my character, in a publication under your signature, I demand satisfaction. My friend, Mr. Oswald, who bears this note, is authorized to take any necessary steps on my behalf. JOHN WARD FENNO. Dr. William Bache. Saturday Morning, Jan. 19.
B. told Mr. Oswald, "that until I had answered the challenge he delivered me from his friend Dr. Reynolds, he should have nothing to say to me;—after which he was at my service." As it was utterly impossible that I ever could meet Reynolds, I considered this reply as a dastardly evasion, and proceeded to post him in the following terms, in the Merchants' Coffee-House, at 3 o'clock, P. M. Dr. William Bache having traduced my character by the most baseless and studied falsehoods, and having refused me satisfaction, when called upon, I hereby publish him as a Liar, a Coward, and a True Democrat. JOHN WARD FENNO. Philad. Saturday evening Jan. 19.
At the same time and place I affixed the following paper: James Reynolds, commonly called Doctor Reynolds, having asserted that I refused to fight him, when I had not received a challenge, and having neglected to answer to a defiance which I sent him, I do hereby publish him for an infamous Liar and Coward. JOHN WARD FENNO. Philad. Saturday evening Jan. 19.
At about 11 o'clock at night, two men rushed into the Coffee House, and awakened the Bar Keeper, who being ordered to set up alone for a club, had fallen asleep. On examination, he found after they had ran out, that they had removed the above papers.
It is worthy of note, that the Impeachment of Blount has been qualified by the Democratic party, whilst their Gazettes abound in lies at the friends of Government, for their tardiness and disinclination to prosecute the business.
In the Assembly of the State of Delaware, the proposition of the Legislature of Massachusetts, to amend the Constitution of the United States so as to exclude foreigners from a participation in the Government, was agreed to, almost unanimously, there being only three votes in the negative.
William Hill Wells, Esq. has been appointed Senator of the United States, for the State of Delaware, in the place of the late Joshua Clayton, deceased.
Extract of a letter from Boston, Jan. 11th, 1799, to the Editor of this Paper. "You have damped the United Irish in this town: they had a meeting very lately, and one of the Club made a motion, that the society should be dissolved, which was put and carried; our friend — has a copy of all their proceedings."
From a Correspondent in Pittsburg. Since the year 1793, at which time the Aurora became distinguished as the vehicle of Sedition, weekly packages of news-papers from that office have been forwarded by post to Pittsburg addressed to John Sewal, esq. It is worthy of remark, that there is not, and never has been, a person of that name, resident in Pittsburg, or in the county of Alleghany; and that, although official information to that effect has been repeatedly sent to Bache, the practice has been continued. Are the charges of subscription, postage &c. paid out of the secret service money of M. Talleyrand, or from the same funds that defrayed the expenses of the Logopian Embassy?
COMMUNICATION. The house of assembly of New-Jersey this day dismissed the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions on the subject of the sedition and alien bills passed by Congress last summer: they would not permit them to lie on the table; but on a motion for a second-reading, it was refused. Some gentlemen wished to have them read a second time, at the same time declaring they would vote against them; but they were desirous to give an answer, which might satisfy those states that the legislature considered both the mode and the principles of their conduct as hostile to the Union. However, the greatest part of the members conceived that the best way was to dismiss such factious resolutions without debate, left it might be supposed that representatives of New-Jersey were willing to hold a correspondence to insulting to the Federal Government. It is to be hoped that the legislatures of other states will follow the example of New-Jersey, and not permit such treasonable correspondence to pollute their files.
CONCORD, N. H. Dec. 22. BLODGET'S CANAL. Yesterday the Legislature passed "An act to incorporate Samuel Blodget, esq., and others his associates, with the exclusive right and privilege of cutting a Canal by Amoskeag Falls, on Merrimack River, and locking the same." By this generous act, the Legislature have done themselves much honor; it is liberal to the proprietors, but ten times more so to the public; for it opens an extensive country, abounding with stately masts, spars, white oaks, and all kinds of lumber. This Canal is nearly finished—through which an easy and cheap conveyance may be had to the waters at Newbury-Port and Boston; and thus enhance the value of lands on Merrimack River, in a short time, to millions of dollars.
Frist Day, or Sunday Schools. The Board of Visitors, appointed by the Society for the support of First-day or Sunday Schools, have the pleasure to inform their fellow-citizens, that the three Schools (which have been closed during the late awful sickness) are again opened for the reception of Scholars, under the care of capable masters, where they are taught to spell, read, and write; principally from the holy Scriptures, and at such time as will not interfere with the hours appointed for Religious Worship, it being expected that the scholars will attend the places to which they respectively belong.
From the experience of several years, the Society are fully convinced of the great utility of these Schools in "teaching the young idea how to shoot." The board therefore earnestly desire, that parents and others, who have the care of young persons, in want of instruction, would send them as soon as may be convenient. They also solicitously call upon all characters of influence, particularly their brethren in Southwark, where the School is at present small, to communicate this information to the parents or guardians of such as are fit objects for these schools, and endeavor to prevail upon them to do justice to the charge committed to their care, which their indefatigable duty enjoins: for many valuable talents are often obscured, by the veil of ignorance, which might, by the cultivating hand of science, become honorable to the possessors, and furnish useful members to society.
A School for males is taught by John Poor, in Cherry-alley, between Third and Fourth Street; one for females is kept by John Ely, Third above Mulberry Street, back of the Presbyterian Meeting-house; and one for males by Thaddeus Brown, in Front, near Almond-street in Southwark. Books, pens, ink, and paper being provided for the scholars. The Schools are at present open from 7 to half past 9 o'clock in the forenoon, and from 1 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

TO THE Promoters of Literature. THE managers of the Beula Seminary, impelled by motives of pure morality, having resolved to dispose of the following property by way of LOTTERY, in order to assist them in erecting a convenient building for the accommodation of one hundred students, and the necessary professors in the different departments of science—do offer for sale three hundred and fifty lots in BEULA, each fifty-eight feet by one hundred and twenty-five, at twenty dollars per ticket, each ticket entitled to a lot to be determined by ballot; ten dollars to be paid on receipt of the ticket, and the remaining ten on the delivery of the deed. The ballot to take place before impartial men, as soon as the whole number of tickets are sold. The managers, anticipating the difficulty of obtaining cash for the whole, have resolved to receive an equivalent, for some of the lots, in select books; philosophical apparatus, or in produce and materials for building, delivered on the spot. It may be observed, that the value of prizes in this lottery will be more than double the amount of all the tickets; for 350 lots, would at their average estimation, produce at least 15,750 dollars; whilst, according to the present proposals, the sum obtained for them will be only 7,000 dollars. Tickets may be had during this winter, of Morgan J. Rees, president of the board of managers, no. 177, South Second-street, Philadelphia; who will receive proposals and plans for the erection of the building.

And whereas it is declared by the said Act, that so much as may be necessary for the surplus of the duties on Imports and Tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations here tofore charged upon them by law, shall be pledged and appropriated for paying the interest, and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed, according to the term or terms which may be fixed, pursuant to the authority aforesaid—And whereas the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to all with sufficient permanent Revenues for making up any deficiency that may hereafter appear in the provisions before-mentioned for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, or any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act.

The Secretary of the Treasury however reserves the right of reducing the number of installments by special agreements, with the individuals who may become subscribers.
3d. On the failure of payment of any installment of the sums subscribed according to the tenor of the second article, the next preceding installment of twelve dollars and fifty cents, which shall have been paid, for every hundred dollars subscribed shall be forfeited to the United States.
4th.
