Foreign Intelligence.
BERN, August 31.
Yesterday all the French Generals assembled in a grand council of war at Lenzburg, and from their preparations on the Aar and the Limmat, it seemed they intended an attack, when counter orders were received. It is thought that the departure of the Archduke with his army has produced a change in their plan of operations. Considerable quantities of artillery and ammunition have been sent to the neighbourhood of Zurich.
VIENNA, Sept. 4.
(From the Court Gazette.)
According to the accounts received by his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles, from Field Marshal Lieutenant Hotze, the enemy on the 23d ult. without risking an engagement, retreated towards Urfen, where according to the accounts received from the head quarters of the army of Italy, the French General Lecourbe, had already arrived on the 17th, on which day the advanced posts of Field Marshal Lieutenant Count Hadick, on Little Mount St. Bernard were repeatedly attacked but without any material effect.
Colonel Prince Victor Rohan was then with his corps near Domo d'Ossola, and the advanced posts of Colonel Stranch, who was marching forward, extended as far as Airolo.
Major General Simbichien, who, with his brigade was posted on mount St. Gothard, on the 14th of August sustained the repeated attacks of the enemy with a superior force, made on him from all sides, with such brave resistance, that these renewed attacks were repelled. On the 15th and 16th, however, he was attacked by fresh troops, which had arrived on the lake of the Four Forests; and landed; this induced General Simbichien, after several severe attacks on those days, which night only terminated, and which were accompanied by long heavy rains, no longer to oppose his exhausted troops to an enemy so much superior in point of number; he then retreated at first to Diffens, and afterwards to Illenz, but the enemy only followed him as far as Sanoix, and returned precipitately towards Urfen. The accounts of our loss on these occasions have not yet been received, but we are assured, that of the enemy, on account of the brave and vigorous resistance with which he was everywhere received, must have been considerably greater.
Our troops fought with uninterrupted courage, and astonishing bravery; and several commanders, staff and other officers, are particularly recommended on account of their valor.
All accounts respecting the division of the enemy under General Championet, agree that the enemy's present plans are more directed to the defence of his frontiers, than to offensive operations.
The latest accounts from Constantinople concern the fate of Buonaparte, as down to the 21st of June. It is known for a certainty that he has sent 200 camels, laden with booty, from different parts of Syria, to Suez, escorted by 3000 Arabian horsemen, under Generals Lemonge and Murhard, whether also he intends to march, as soon as he shall have inspected the harbors of Egypt, and secured himself against every attack of the allied powers; from this, however, as well as from several other arrangements which he is making, it is supposed that he is now thinking more of effecting his flight to France than a march to Suez.
PARIS, Sept. 5.
General Championet has sent official information, from his head-quarters at Elabrun, dated August 30th, that the enemy had been driven, on the 26th, from their positions of Villaret and pursued to the gates of Pignerol, with the loss of 600 men. In another action, near Sufa, they lost 200, and in several skirmishes 400. On the 26th the enemy attacked general Miollis at Reco, on the Genoise coast, and lost 60 men killed and 300 prisoners.
SUABIA, Sept. 5.
The Archduke, it is thought, will proceed still farther down the Rhine, to drive the enemy from Heidelberg, and the whole left bank of the river. The dragoon of Weldeck and Latour, and the Uhlan of Odonel have already been detached against Frankfort and Mentz.
STUTTGARD, Sept. 5.
The division of the Archduke's army which is marching towards the Brissgau, is said to be intended to force Massena to quit his position, which it is so difficult to attack in front, either by an attack on the French camp near Bale, or by entering Alsace. Afterwards the Archduke might attempt to advance against Lower Rhine and the Netherlands, to assist the Russians and English; in the same manner as it is intended that the Russians in Switzerland shall act in concert with Field Marshal Suwarow in Italy.
FROM THE MAYN, Sept. 7.
Four hundred Szekler hussars arrived today at Offenbach. These, along with other Imperial troops, principally cavalry, will join the armed inhabitants of Mentz, whose plan is said to be to liberate the territory of Mentz from the French, and to advance against Ehrenbreitstein, where the inhabitants are also to rise in a mass, as it is thought that this might produce similar
movements among the inhabitants of the opposite shore. It is even said, that the arming of the subjects of Mentz is combined with the landing of the English in Holland. Five hundred genadiers of Mentz marched through Frankfort, with lighted matches. The passage of these troops through Hanau, which Baron Albini solicited, has been refused.
Accounts having been received the day before yesterday from Odenwald, that the French general Bragway d'Hillers had caused three armed citizens of Hippenheim to be shot, Baron Albini sent an officer of the Electoral Guard, accompanied by a trumpeter, with a letter to the French governor to Mentz, demanding satisfaction, it being contrary to the law of nations and of war; informing him, at the same time, that if satisfaction was refused, reprisals would be made of all the conscripts which might be taken, as the inhabitants of the territory of Mentz, arming for the defence of their country and their property, might claim the same rights with the French, who had taken up arms for disturbing the tranquillity of others. The Governor returned for answer, that he would send the letter he had received to the commander in chief.
Imperial troops are expected every moment to join the armed inhabitants.
HANAU, Sept. 7.
In the fortress of Mentz the most vigorous measures are taken, on account of the armed inhabitants marching. The cannon are mounted on the ramparts, and even the bridge of boats which communicate with the fort of Cassel is removed. The scarcity increases, as no peasants go to the markets. The prisons are full of suspected persons, and every one that enters the gates is strictly searched by the sentinels. The central administration of Mentz has however declared, in an address to the inhabitants, that they ought not to fear an attack from the enemy; that the city has only been declared in a state of siege, by the directory, for particular reasons; that it would not be of long duration, and would only effect the measures of the police.
Letters from the Lower Rhine state, that three departments of the left bank will shortly be united to France, viz. the department of Donnersberg, of the Saar, and of the Rhine and Moselle. The department of the Roer, a considerable part of which belongs to the king of Prussia will as yet, remain on its present footing.
September 11.
The corps of the Prince of Conde, which is now marching through Bavaria, will proceed to Augsburg by way of Neumarkt, Kamen, Straubing, &c. It is divided into 3 columns; the 1st under the command of gen. Bawr, the 2d under the Duke of Berry, and the 3d under the Duke of Enghien. The 1st division of the 1st column is expected to arrive at Augsburg on the 17th, and the 2d at the last on the 24th.
The advanced guard of the armed inhabitants of Mentz, whose head-quarters were at Niederrad, a few days ago, has made an excursion, is advancing towards Nidda, occupies Hoechst, and sends patrols as far as Ruffelheim. The French posts have all retreated towards Mentz.
Besides the Szekler hussars, which passed through Frankfort last Sunday, several other regiments of Imperial infantry and cavalry are expected to-morrow and on the following days, to join the armed inhabitants.
LOWER ELBE, Sept. 14.
Yesterday we noticed the movements and changes of the armies, which now seem to have been the consequence of a new plan of operations. Those of the Imperial troops who are to remain in Switzerland, will be under the separate command of gen. Hotze. Gen. Korsakow will act in concert with the Archduke, until Field Marshal Suwarow (whose campaign in Italy is supposed to be nearly at an end) shall arrive with strong reinforcements to take the chief command of the armies in Switzerland; whilst gen. Melas will direct the farther operations that might still be found necessary in Upper Italy, and according to circumstances, make excursions to other parts of the country, that might want his assistance.
Generals Korsakow and Hotze, had a long conference with Mr. Wickham at Zurich, in the night of the 13th inst. in which, it is said, the plan of operations was warmly contested. Suwarow, it is supposed, will direct the chief operations against France, from the side of Switzerland or Alsace, while the Archduke acts against Mentz and the left bank of the Rhine, so as to maintain a communication with the Anglo-Russians in Holland; by which means one continued chain of military operations might be formed from the Texel, to the Gulph of Lyons, in the Mediterranean.
If Prussia could be supposed inclined to take any active share in the present campaign, it would be to avenge the manifest violation of the neutrality of Frankfort, &c. By admiral Story's report to the Batavian Directory, of the surrender of the Dutch fleet, it appears, that 99 Dutch sailors in 100 were for the cause of the Prince of Orange. How the army may be effected, has not fairly been tried; and it seems that the most determined patriots in the army have been chosen to meet the English. Respecting the mass of armed citizens and peasants, they can hardly be expected to declare themselves, without either party gaining some signal victory.
By the Dutch official reports, their loss in the late action is stated at 197 killed, and 950 wounded; a total loss of 1037 men. The English loss, by their official report, amounts to 460 killed and wounded; hence,
in giving equal credit to both official reports, as to their own losses, it appears that the Dutch had far above double the number in killed and wounded, altho' the English commenced the action with so many evident disadvantages.

PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20.
Iustitiam et tenacem proposui virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus instanti tyranni, Mente quait solida.
The grand design of the Christian Coalition, which has not been fully developed, even in its outline, begins daily to unfold to the wondering world, a project at once sublime in its views, and astonishing in its vast display of adequate means to the greatest and most illustrious cause since the delivery of Israel by the arms of Joshua.
In Italy, the only footing left them, is held by the scanty remains of an army, which consisted in the early part of the campaign, of forty thousand veteran troops under Macdonald, and by the re-assembled fugitives of the late army of Scherer, now under Championet.
In Switzerland, they have been expelled from all the Upper Cantons; and the footing which they hold in that country, is tenable only at the will of the Archduke, whose invasion of Alsace, should they have the folly to retain their position in Switzerland, must expose them to hazards, which they are ill able to contend against.
The preliminary objects necessary thereto, having been attained, the principal attack of the Coalition, is at length about to be carried into operation, by an invasion of France, on the lower Rhine, under the direction of the Archduke, who, in order to express the determined resolution of the Emperor, to re-establish his ancient boundaries, has been created Prince of Lorraine.
From the restoration of Holland, from the fangs of the French bloodsuckers, the combined British and Russian forces will proceed up the Rhine to the deliverance of Belgium, and to subsequent operations in concert, with the Archduke.
These operations, are conducting independently of Field Marshal Suwarrows and the main body of the Russians: in the meanwhile the part they are to bear will be far from secondary.
The convulsions which appear in a greater or less degree, to pervade the Republic, hold forth strong additional grounds of hope to those presented by the intrinsic force of the Coalition.
The prospect, which this state of things holds out, of the restoration of this unhappy kingdom, once more to settled order, and
a rational government, may fill with serious-ly retarded by a co-operation the part of Prussia with France, through the means of the revolutionary phrensy spreading itself to that kingdom, an occurrence not improbable, and one which would be confessed a just reward for the unnatural, crooked and perfidious line of policy pursued by that Cabinet.
While we thus contemplate the approaching downfall of Anarchy in Europe, it is impossible to shut our eyes upon the new source of danger thereby opened to this country.
The Genius of counter-revolution, if what citizen Bernadotte says, be true, most rank amongst the greatest geniuses of the times: "Our armies, says he, have struggled against the horrors of want, treason, and all the calamities combined,—and dashed on by the Genius of Counter-Revolution."
In one of our domestic papers, we read that "the nerve of the French Directory acquires tenacity."
IT is a shameful, rather than a surprizing fact, that the Editors of many of the important and languid Federal papers have, in publishing the official detection of the impostor, Robbins, omitted to connect with the certificates from Danbury the important and decisive extract from Sir Hyde Parker's letter.
The Rage for new Terms, and Phrases ridiculed. Extract from a work by Dr. Jones, an English writer, entitled, "Medical, Philosophical and Vulgar Errors of various kinds, considered and refuted."
"For me, all warm and zealous for my friend, In spite of railing thousands, I commend; And, no less warm and zealous 'gainst my foes In spite of railing thousands I oppose."
But all the gentle, water-gruel, dubious, weakly defined tribe of our newspaper politicians act precisely in the spirit of Pope's Atticus.
"Dams with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer."
GENUINE INFORMATION. THE PUBLIC are respectfully informed that they have, for many years been egregiously deceived, concerning several Hibernian characters.
The present, styled the age of dissipation, may, in my opinion, have pride and pedantry added to the bill. As the duriest, most ragged child you see playing upon a dunghill, whose child he is; you are answered, Mr. Such-a-one's, Master, formerly a title of eminence, is now worn and assumed by the very lowest of mankind.
DIED—This morning about 4 o'clock, Mr. ALLEN M'KENZIE, 2d Lieutenant of the United States Ship of War Gauges.
We have authority for stating, that the account of the capture by the Pickering brig, of a French privateer, is unfounded.
One or more of the vessels of the United States, will rendezvous at Newport, on the 12th December, for the purpose of convoying vessels bound to East India or China.

By the Industry from St. Augustine, we learn that Gen. Bowles, who some time since failed from Jamaica in the febr. Fox, on some public business with the Indians, was lately wrecked in the river Flint, in the Spanish territory.
Another vessel was expected out with 4000 stands of arms, ammunition, &c. which was to be put into the hands of the Creek Indians. From this it was conjectured some expedition was going forward against the Spaniards.
[A considerable river of Georgia which rises in the country of the Creek Indians, and running a S. and then a S. W. course, joins the Appalachicola, at its entrance into Florida—Morse.]
The Rage for new Terms, and Phrases ridiculed. Extract from a work by Dr. Jones, an English writer, entitled, "Medical, Philosophical and Vulgar Errors of various kinds, considered and refuted."
"That the Influenza is a very dangerous distemper, and a new one; never known in this country till a few years ago; at which time the College, by their circular letters, cried out for help from all quarters; were themselves greatly alarmed; and spread a general terror."
"IT is neither a new nor a dangerous distemper: every person going out of a warm room, and riding by night against a sharp easterly fog, who had not prudently guarded his nose and mouth from it by a thin soft handkerchief, must have caught it; and so may any one in such circumstances catch it; whether under the name of influenza, or the old common one of catarrh."
"The present, styled the age of dissipation, may, in my opinion, have pride and pedantry added to the bill. As the duriest, most ragged child you see playing upon a dunghill, whose child he is; you are answered, Mr. Such-a-one's, Master, formerly a title of eminence, is now worn and assumed by the very lowest of mankind."

TO THE PUBLIC. THE time being fixed on, when the MILITARY LAND (commonly called Knox's ) WARRANTS , granted to the United States' army, are to be registered and located, the subscribers have explored that tract of land on which those warrants are to be laid; with a view, and for the purpose of offering their services as locators.
We take the liberty of suggesting, "that where at least as well acquainted with the situation, quality of the soil, &c. of the different townships in the aforesaid tract, as any other person;" this will, perhaps, appear more clearly, by observing, that WILLIAM C. SCHENCK assisted in running the Indian boundary line; at which time he considerably traveled that tract; he also assisted in surveying and laying it off into townships, and at other times ranged over it, to gain information. But to obtain a more complete and accurate knowledge, we have lately spent between two and three months, with several assistants, in particularly examining the different townships and quarter townships; by which means we have acquired an accurate knowledge of the whole district.—We now offer our services to the public, as Locators, with assurances that we will locate every persons warrants intrusted to us to the best advantage, agreeably to their rights of location, which is to be determined according to law. For our services we demand the one equal tenth part, either in lands or warrants, when we locate a full tract, of four thousand acres or more, for one person or firm; the land to be taken in a square, at a corner of the tract; which corner is to be equitably determined before the time of location.—The one equal sixth part, in cash or warrants, when we connect and locate any amount less than four thousand acres. We will be in Philadelphia from December next, until after the time of location, to transact this business. Any person wishing to satisfy himself farther, will please to call on us, by letter, (postage paid) or otherwise; when due attention will be paid, and such vouchers may be seen as we have to offer, which we hope will be satisfactory. MARTIN BAUM, WILLIAM C. SCHENCK. Philadelphia, Oct. 9, 1799. eow.
To the Holders of MILITARY LAND WARRANTS. THE Subscriber having lately returned from viewing the land, surveyed and appropriated to satisfy the land warrants, issued by the secretary at war, to the officers and soldiers of the late continental army; and having made arrangements with Mr. James Johnson, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who he left on the land, and who with the assistance of an intelligent inhabitant of that county, will spend five months in exploring the different sections. He will take regular notes, descriptive of the soil, situation, and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey—which notes will be placed in the hands of the subscriber previous to the period for locating, thereby enabling him to make the most advantageous locations the priority will admit. He offers his service to the holders of land warrants of the above description, throughout the United States, to receive their warrants, class them, (as no less quantity than 4000 acres will be registered at the office of the treasury) have them registered agreeable to law, and attend to make the location at the time appointed in February next. For transacting the business, one tenth part of the land specified in the warrants will be required, and no other charge, except the postage of letters. All warrants forwarded and letters addressed to the subscriber, at No. 3, Penn-street, Philadelphia, will receive immediate attention. JAMES E. SMITH. September 2. mwsft.

TERMS. 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 dolls. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise in the price may be expected to non-subscribers. 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 Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days! Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost inestimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation.
The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798. "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, "Respectfully represents, "That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he hath obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies; that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.

The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Buffalo, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populousness of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Through-Fare from Philadelphia to New-York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained.—There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is amongst the least of its advantages; because daily experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as comfort in traveling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country; and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The toll, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country, and a considerable proportion of shade, must always render traveling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable.
The Swift-Sure starts from PHILADELPHIA , at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE , opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street. It goes through Frankford to Buffalo , where it stops to Breakfast; from Buffalo it goes through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner; from Penny-town through Hopewell , Millstone , Boundbrook , Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New-York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York , application may be made to Edward Bardiu, Old Coffee-house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John Streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtland, corner of Greenwich Street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad Street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile. Each passenger is allowed to take on 14 lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight. With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge themselves to make good every package on the following conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the package, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent. on the value, as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he estimates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent. and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like proportion for packages of any other value. Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike this regulation; it will, however, be optional with every one to avail himself of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to state very explicitly, that they will be responsible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insurance receipt cannot be produced. In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and taverns as always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and committed to the care of intelligent sober and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the persons they employ is continually an object of their attention.—They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no sort of chicanery or insolence is practiced upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, during which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift-Sure are extremely happy to hear the behaviour of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
