This day Published, AND FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE, The Essays under the Signature of VIRGINIENSIS, ON THE ALIEN AND SEDITION LAWS. (Price 25 cents, 12mo.) IT is perhaps futile to expect to work conviction in the minds of so inveterate and vicious a class of men, as the Democrats of America, by any arguments however forcible, or any display of truth, however irresistible! These writings are, however, calculated to produce a more important and useful effect, by placing the subject in its true light before honest men, who are uninformed, or have been misinformed as to the nature and objects of those bills. jan. 15. 6t
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. It is intended to be of brick or stone; its situation, on the summit of a gradual rising eminence, commanding an extensive prospect of the surrounding country; an observatory to be on its top. Land and out lots in the vicinity of the town may be had on moderate terms by applying as above. Mechanics and laborers, of good morals will meet with encouragement. jan. 29. 3aw2m
Foreign Intelligence, Via Charles-ton. NAPLES, October 2. Among the British flots of war, which have arrived here, is the Cullen of 74 guns, commanded by captain Trowbridge. This ship, as is well known, in the beginning of the great sea engagement of Aboukir, ran on a sand-bank, and could not be got off again for three days. On board of her, when she arrived here, were 32 French officers, prisoners, who, were not permitted to land; but after giving their word not to serve against Britain during the war, were sent away in a felucca. Among them was rear-admiral Blanquet. They have since arrived at Rome. When the Cullen anchored in the harbor of Naples, Sir William Hamilton went on board her, to pay his respects to captain Trowbridge. More than 20 boats with bands of music surrounded the ship.
BRUSSELS, October 28. The corps of 300 men, which left this city the day before yesterday, attacked the Rebels with the greatest vigour near the town of Hal, killed about 40 of them, and dispersed the rest; nevertheless they could not pursue their advantage far, on account of the number of armed peasants which assembled near Engheim, at the sound of their tocsin. There was a very warm action near Louvain the day before yesterday. The gates of that city remain shut, because it is threatened by the rebels, particularly by those of Campine. Though Malines is in a state of siege, yet every thing remains tranquil.—General Beguinot has ordered the inhabitants to give up their arms and ammunition, under pain of being considered as rebels. All persons who arrive from Flanders, agree in stating that they have been stopped on different roads by bodies of insurgents. These corps are commanded by captains, some of whom were dressed in short scarlet jackets. They have lists of those who are devoted to plunder and pillage: those who are not in their lists, are permitted to pass without molestation. October 29.
The criminal revolt which has manifested itself in several of our departments, appears to be on the increase. It is now spreading in part of the departments of the Scheldt, of the two Nethes of the Dyle, and of Jemappe. Reinforcements of troops are daily arriving, and they are highly necessary; for the soldiers are harassed by the fatigue of the numerous engagements which are every instant taking place. The town of Lierre, situated at the distance of three leagues from Malines, was one of the chief places in which the rebels had chosen to organize themselves. It was attacked on the day before yesterday by the Republicans, and taken after a bloody engagement. The Tree of Liberty was again planted there, and all the papers of the municipality were burnt by the rebels, and the town-house pillaged. The village of Boom, situated at the distance of two leagues from Antwerp, on the Canal, where the rebels had formed a committee of insurrection, was also attacked and taken, after a warm action. On the same day at six in the morning, the village of Cuenpiath, between Antwerp and Malines, was carried by the republicans at the point of the bayonet. On the 26th, 27th and 28th, several terrible battles were fought between Hal, Engheim, and the village of St. Tonelle. The troops from Brussels and Mons are, those who have attacked and beaten the insurgents in several bloody encounters. On the other hand, the armed inhabitants of Diefle and of the Campine, have advanced to the gates of Louvain, where they attacked several posts of troops. The republican columns detached for the purpose of attacking these insurgents, were to do it this morning. The corps of rebels who have marched against Louvain appear to be very numerous. Their chiefs levy contributions and make requisitions of men. The municipality of Louvain have quitted the city, where there no longer appeared any safety, and yesterday morning Louvain was put in a state of siege. Brussels is still the asylum of a great number of municipal officers, justices of peace, emissaries of the Directory, and other public functionaries, who have retired thither in order to withdraw themselves from the rage of the insurgents in the country. Although we are very quiet, yet six pieces of cannon have been brought from Malines for the defence of the place. They write from Malines that orders have been issued there for cutting down all the trees which were within six hundred paces of the walls of that place, and for fortifying it as well as time and circumstances will permit. The two last Mails from Holland have not arrived; all the couriers who now travel in this part are escorted by a body of cavalry.
LONDON, October 29. Captain Berry, of the Vanguard, who was on board the Leander at the time of her capture, has written to his wife and her father, Dr. Forster, of Norwich, from Corfu. Sept. 7 in which he states that the Leander, having been much injured in the action off the Nile, in which the acquitted herself with distinguished credit, was compelled to strike to le Generoux of 74 guns, after a feeble resistance, the Generoux had 20 men killed, and a considerable number wounded. We are happy to state that captain Berry, together with captain Thompson, crew of the Leander and his brave officers and men, experienced the kindest attention at Corfu; from whence they expected shortly to return to England.
PORTSMOUTH November 5. Dispatches were this morning brought from Havre, that the French Squadron are moving; in consequence of which, the Hydra of 40 guns, Sir F. Laforey; Charon of 44 guns, captain Manby; with the Echo Sloop, capt. Hammond, were immediately ordered for sea, and sail this evening.
Domestic Articles. From the Trenton Federalist. FECUNDITY. JAMES HUNTER, a man of about 50 years of age, his wife 30, living on the lands of William Stockton, esquire, of Evelham township in the county of Burlington, had eight children at three births; two at a birth respectively, and four at the third; the last four died. She is the mother of, in all, about twenty children. On Monday last, in the House of Assembly of this state, Mr. Pennington, of the county of Essex, submitted to the House certain resolutions, the purport and object of which was to call a Convention to revise the Constitution of the United States!!! The House refused to have the paper read a second time, and Mr. Pennington took it off the table!!! No notice is taken of it in the minutes of the House!!! Truly this gentleman deserves well of the good people of New-Jersey!!!
FOREIGN INFLUENCE. It may perhaps with some reason be questioned whether the members of the convention who formed the Federal Constitution ever read the BIBLE; or if they did, it is pretty clear they did not take it for their guide. As there is considerable said at this time with respect to an alteration of the Constitution, so as to exclude foreigners from the councils of the nation; and as it is to much more the fashion now-a-days to read newspapers, than the Bible, if the following verse from the Book of Deuteronomy, is inserted in a conspicuous place in the paper, it will without doubt get read. It is as follows, Deut. chap. 17. verse 15. "Thou shalt in any wise set him King over thee whom the Lord thy God shall choose; one from among thy brethren, shalt thou set King over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee which is not thy brother." Had the above verse been attended to, it is very certain, it would have saved the United States some millions of dollars, besides the eternal disgrace of a Galtin, a Lyon, &c.
AMOR PATRIAE. It is quite ludicrous to listen to the babbling of a modern patriot. The greatest efforts of public spirit now-a-days rise no higher than a lampoon upon the federal government, or a silly exclamation upon the rights of man. The brightest patriot has no other object than to ingratiate himself with a party, or secure his re-election: for this he shuffles, and trims, and deals out protestations of love to his country, of the poor, and of the liberty and equal rights of man; but you will never hear him attempt to support the national rights, and stand forth the decided advocate for measures really calculated to redress national wrongs.
NEW-JERSEY. It would be rare, if some discontented, and some intriguing people, should not be found in a population of nearly 200,000 souls upon the whole, however, there are very few of that description. The Legislature of New-Jersey, have steadily pursued measures, calculated to repress the attempts of those states who are hostile to the confederacy, as established by the compact of 1787. Previous to that period, her situation was the most degraded imaginable; the smile of Ischia, who is described like an ass bending between two burdens was applied to her with as much malice as justice. New-York and Pennsylvania, levied at least 80,000 dollars a year upon her industrious agriculture, for the support and enriching of their state treasuries; one farthing of which never returned; whereas the impost now goes into the general treasury, and from thence is returned, with interest, to the state, in supporting her independence, in paying her proportion of the public debt, in maintaining her military establishment, and in dispensing civil justice.
LYING. As the good people of New-Jersey detest liars and malicious slanderers, either of individuals or public bodies, I have no doubt they will be happy to know, that on the 14th of July, 1798, Congress (among other things calculated to insure the peace, happiness, liberty and independence of their constituents) passed a law, which enacted, "That if any person shall write, print, utter or publish, or cause to be written, printed, uttered or published, or shall knowingly or wilfully aid in writing, printing, uttering or publishing, any false, scandalous and malicious writing, against the government of the United States, or either House of Congress, or the President of the United States, with intent to defame the said government, or either House of Congress, or the President, or to bring them, or either of them into contempt or disrepute, or to excite against them, or either of them, the hatred of the people of the United States; or to excite unlawful combinations therein, for opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States, done in pursuance of such law, or of the powers vested in him by the constitution of the United States; or to oppose or defeat any such law or act; or to aid, encourage or abet, any hostile designs of any foreign nation, against the United States; their people or government, such person shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars, and imprisonment not exceeding two years." The act further provides, that the person accused of a libel, shall be tried by a jury, and may plead in his justification, the truth of the publication as a defence; so that whatever is true, cannot be within the act. Now, Mr. Craft, no man of common honesty, and who is a good citizen, who loves his country, and regards the truth, who detests liars, and the vendors of malicious scandal, designed to sap the foundations
of our free and happy federal constitution and government, can read the foregoing law, without adhering to it in full and entire approbation; yet this is the law which Virginia and her little satellite Kentucky, denounce as a law restraining the natural rights of the American people. I shall here subjoin the substance of the foregoing matter, contained in this act, relative to seditious publications, to give you, and your readers a prospectus of what the hold to be an infringement of their "natural rights." I would just observe however, in the first place, that this act takes no cognizance of any defamatory words spoken of the government, or about it, but merely of writings; and it enacts, that if any person shall be found guilty, on a full trial by a jury of his country, of "having written, or caused to be written, or aided in writing, and publishing, any false, scandalous and malicious writing." 1. Against the GOVERNMENT of the United States; or 2. Against the PRESIDENT of the United States; or 3. Against either HOUSE OF CONGRESS; with intent to defame them, or either of them, and to bring them into contempt, or to excite against them the hatred of the people of the United States, or with intent 4 To excite unlawful combinations in the United States, 1. For opposing or resisting any law of the United States; or, 2. For opposing any lawful and constitutional act of the President of the United States; or, 3. For aiding and encouraging any hostile designs against the United States, their people, or their government; SUCH PERSON shall be punished by fine and imprisonment. (It ought to be by hanging.) Thus we see what the democrats consider as the LIBERTY OF THE PRESS; what they hold to be among the "natural rights of republican citizens." Surely every honest man ought to pray night and day, that a law which is made to protect the country against sedition, rebellion and destruction, may be made perpetual. These men had the effrontery, when convinced, and when they admit that none but traitors and notorious villains can be punished under this act, to pretend it is unconstitutional. They know better than this; Gallatin, Livingston, Nicholas, all know this; though they weave syllogisms and sophistries by the mile, to prove the contrary; and I have no doubt, if it answered their purpose as well, of bringing the government into contempt, they could prove that a President or Senate was unconstitutional. MATTHEW LYON, it is said will, after his exit from a dungeon, make a triumphal entry into Congress Hall. Quare? whether he will be honoured with a new career to split upon? Or will not the spitters brew their garments in his way?
GEORGE LOGAN! Who will hereafter deny that merit is ever rewarded in this world? LYON and LOGAN can give the lie to this silly saying: par noble fratum; one splits upon congress, and the other upon his country—the people sing HOSANNAS, and make them RULERS IN THE LAND!!!
LEGISLATURE OF MASSACHUSETTS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TUESDAY JAN. 22. After the consideration of a variety of local and less interesting business was attended to, The Hon. Mr. Hayward brought down from the Senate, an order directing the Secretary to notify Tristam Jordon, Esq., to appear on Wednesday the 13th February, to show cause, why an address of the two houses should not be made to the Governor to remove the said Jordon from his office, as a justice of the peace, for the county of York; which, after debate, was concurred in—[The charge against Jordon is for seditious expressions to the following effect:] "That JOHN ADAMS ought to have lost his head some years ago;—that it was he who duped the late President WASHINGTON to resign his office, that he himself might be chosen in his place, concluding with his first expression, that JOHN ADAMS ought to have lost his head four years ago."—The Legislature have also directed that witnesses attend to testify respecting said Jordon's using said expressions.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS.
Tuesday, Nov. 20.
This day at 3 o'clock, his Majesty came down to the house of peers in the usual state, and being seated in his royal robes on the throne, Sir Francis Molynens, bart. gentleman usher of the black rod, was sent to order the attendance of the commons; that house forthwith appeared at the bar, when his Majesty was pleased to open the session of Parliament with the following most gracious SPEECH:
My Lords and Gentlemen,
The events which have taken place in the course of the present year, and the signal success which by the blessing of providence, has attended my arms, have been productive of the happiest consequences, and have essentially promoted the prosperity and glory of our country.
The unexampled series of our naval triumphs has received fresh splendor from the memorable and decisive action, in which a detachment of my fleet, under the command of rear admiral lord Nelson, attacked and almost totally destroyed a superior force of the enemy, strengthened by every advantage of situation.
By this great and brilliant victory, an enterprise, of which the injustice, peridy, and extravagance had fixed the attention of the world, and which was peculiarly directed against some of the most valuable interests of the British empire, has in the first instance been turned to the confusion of its authors; and the blow thus given to the power and influence of France, has afforded an opening which, if improved by suitable exertions on the part of other powers, may lead to the general deliverance of Europe.
The wisdom and magnanimity displayed at this conjuncture by the Emperor of Russia, and the decision and vigour of the Ottoman Porte have shown, that those powers are impressed with a just sense of the present crisis; and their example, joined to the disposition manifested almost universally in the different countries struggling under the yoke of France, must be a powerful encouragement to the other states, to adopt that vigorous line of conduct, which experience has proved to be alone consistent with security or honor.
The extent of our preparations at home and the demonstrations of zeal and spirit among all ranks of my subjects, have determined the enemy from executing their vain threat of invading the coasts of this kingdom.
In Ireland, the rebellion which they had instigated has been curbed and repressed, the troops which they landed for its support, have been compelled to surrender; and the armaments since destined for the same purpose have, by the vigilance and activity of my squadrons, been captured or dispersed. The views and principles of those, who, in concert with our inveterate enemy, have long planned the subversion of our constitution, have been fully detected and exposed, and their treasons made manifest to the world. Those whom they had misled or seduced, must now be awakened to their duty; and a just sense of the miseries and horrors which these traitorous designs have produced, must impress on the minds of all my faithful subjects, the necessity of continuing to repel with firmness every attack on the laws and established government of their country.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons, Under the unavoidable pressure of protracted war, it is a great satisfaction to me to observe, that the produce of the public revenue has proved fully adequate to the increase of our permanent expenditure; that the national credit has been maintained and improved; and that the commerce and industry of my subjects have continued to flourish in a degree hitherto unknown.
The situation in which we are placed, unhappily renders the continuance of heavy expenses indispensable to the public safety; but the state of our resources, and the good sense and public spirit which prevail through every part of my kingdom, will, I trust, enable you to provide the necessary supplies without essential inconvenience to my people, and with as little addition as possible to the permanent burdens of the state. The progress made toward such a system, by the measures adopted in the last session, and the aid given to public credit by the plan for the redemption of the land tax, have been attended with the most beneficial effects, which you will, I am persuaded, omit no opportunity to confirm and improve.
My Lords and Gentlemen, I rely with confidence on the continuance of your exertions, to enable me ultimately to conduct the great contest in which we are engaged, to a safe and honorable conclusion.
We have surmounted many and great difficulties—our perseverance in a just cause has been rewarded with distinguished success, and our present situation, compared with that of other countries, sufficiently proves how much, in a period of general danger and calamity, the security and happiness of the British nation have depended (under the blessing of Providence) on its own constancy, its energy, and its virtue.
HOUSE OF COMMONS. ADDRESS.
Lord Grenville Levison said, he rose pursuant to the task which he had undertaken, of moving an address in reply to the gracious speech which they had just heard read. No talents that he possessed were sufficient to do justice to the topics there touched upon; it required those splendid powers of eloquence so often heard from others within these walls, to paint with due coloring those objects then alluded to; but at the same time, he felt inexpressible satisfaction, that at the moment when he must acknowledge how inadequate his own exertions of ability was to express those sentiments imprinted in his mind, that the causes which gave birth to those feelings were so great, so marked, and so strong, that they required no aid from eloquence; they wanted not the recommendation of words, but being only contemplated they must impress the same deep conviction in the breast of all, and by their native force alone demand the concurrent opinion and unanimity of the whole house.
The circumstances of the country, he conceived now to be such, that whatever differences of opinion had heretofore existed, they must now be entirely done away, and that there could remain but one opinion respecting the line of conduct which at the present crisis we ought to pursue, namely, that we ought to persevere with vigor until we could obtain a peace with probable security and upon honorable terms. He begged leave to call the attention of the house to the arguments and reasonings upon the late negotiation. The revolution of things in France had at length produced such a state, that it was presumed a dawn of rational liberty began to prevail in that unhappy and long-distracted country: it was believed that a sincere desire of peace operated upon the rulers of France; and it was hoped that peace might at length be obtained upon fair, honorable, and secure terms. His majesty's ministers, anxious to avail themselves of this disposition, entered into a negotiation for peace; but the circumstances of that negotiation proved our mistake—it showed the fallacy of our hopes, and exposed to open day the gigantic and inordinate ambition of our enemies. There were not wanting those who argued only from our difficulties, and did not hesitate to assert that we ought to contemplate the question in that point of view only, and that peace, upon any terms, was to be preferred to a continuance of the war. He did not mean to deny, that, in the compass of possibilities, such an order of things might have place as to render peace absolutely necessary to a country, however just and necessary the war might be in which they might be engaged. He had now no occasion to enter into that discussion. True it was, at one time public credit seemed to be shaken—many feared or contemplated imminent apathy the total ruin of our funded system, while others believed there was no other alternative but in a peace or national bankruptcy. Although, ultimately, the voice of the people always guided the conduct of the government, yet government was too wise to turn with every popular gale. It was the marked and distinguished character of the British government not to be, hastily swayed with hasty or false impressions, but to wait until truth and fact had fixed the lasting stamp of conviction. But even at that time it was not necessary for government to state, that peace could not be obtained on adequate and honorable terms; it was not necessary for them to tell the people, that not to act with energy and resolution would be to involve themselves in ruin; for the idea of humbling ourselves at the foot of the dictatorial throne was universally rejected by the whole of the British people with indignant disdain. The spirit of the people supported the resolutions which were adopted; and by a new and judicious scheme of finance, we saw our public credit again rear its head and maintain its accustomed respectability. No sooner did the people perceive that their safety depended upon vigorous exertions, than the burdens imposed upon them, though large, were most cheerfully borne; and the voluntary contributions, in addition to the heavy taxes already imposed far exceeded even our most sanguine expectations. Nor did they stop here; for from being a nation unused to arms, on a sudden they became a nation of soldiers. By this conduct equally prompt and vigorous, our enemies were appalled and intimidated from pursuing their intended invasion on our coasts; they shrunk from their lofty pretensions, and quietly abandoned the schemes of plunder and confiscation they meditated, and with which they had so imperiously threatened us.
Under whatever point of view we considered his majesty's speech, every part of it afforded matter for consolation, and even of triumph for us, and of disgrace and shame to our enemies, who formed a government more wicked in its objects, and terrible in its aspects, than any that has hitherto disgraced the civilized world. With respect to Ireland, the few troops which they had landed there to support the rebellion previously formed by themselves, were soon crushed by the able exertions of the noble lord who commanded in that country; while the successes against the Dutch in the Texel, where preparation was making for the same object, demanded equal praise to be bestowed upon those who conducted our naval department. And now it was with feelings of the greatest satisfaction he must allude to a naval victory, the most glorious in its achievement, the most important in its consequences; and the most complete in its effect that ever was recorded in the annals of this, or any other country. It told to all the world, that no superiority of force could baffle the skill, or damp the courage of a British sailor. Whatever danger might be supposed to attend our East India possessions, they were now no more to be dreaded. The consequences of this victory, also, were of the most important nature; and here we could not but stop to remark, that though we might have suffered from the painful suspense, while Lord Nelson returned unsuccessful to Syracuse, unable to meet our enemies, yet that delay had been in the event the most fortunate; for had the expedition been defeated in the outlet, its destination would have remained unknown, and the French probably would have succeeded in enjoying the Ottoman Porte, that it was not designed against any of their provinces. This they probably would have attempted with a power whom they might suppose too dull to apprehend, or too
impatient to revenge. But now this no longer applied: the defeat at Aboukir had infused spirit into the councils of the Porte; it was our victory at Aboukir that roused the continental powers from their torpor; and since that time the deputies of the congress at Rastadt had with vigor repelled the arrogant demands of the French. Another advantage of this victory was, the relief afforded to the King of Naples, who would be able to annihilate the infant republics formed in Italy, under the influence or controul of the French. The lending of naval reinforcements to that part was also another proof of the able manner in which our naval affairs were conducted. Another proof of the spirit of the country was, the extent of the commerce, and the consequent amelioration of the funds. It was with satisfaction he could state, that the permanent revenue exceeded this year by half a million the former years, and equalled the most prosperous years of profound peace. Perhaps some might be found, who, from this circumstance, would argue, that we ought to endeavor at peace. It is true, that no form of government ought to be an obstacle to this desired end; no personal character of the individuals exercising government should impede its progress; but we must form an idea of the character of a government from a contemplation of its actions. Look at the conduct of France with respect to America; look at it as relating to Switzerland; and it would immediately appear, that this was not the moment of peace. Switzerland was amused until resistance became too late; and if we had no hopes of peace, we ought to avail ourselves of our successes. Friendship had taken place between us and the Russians. The Emperor was actuated by no narrow motives, but acted openly and with decision. We should not by any fruitless attempts at peace damp the spirit of those insurgents who had risen against the power of France, and were endeavoring to throw off her yoke; we should not pass the efforts of the British people, by holding out terms of peace, when none were likely to be obtained; but we should hold out to every government the best hopes of success, in an united attempt against a common enemy.
In fact, he saw no part of the king's speech which did not call for unanimity from all quarters, whether it related to the victory of the first of August—to the suppression of rebellion—to the detection of traitors—to the flourishing state of our commerce—to the spirit of the people, they were subjects upon which we must all agree. When he contemplated the vigour and unbroken resolution which this nation had displayed in resisting tyranny, and which had raised it to such a proud pre-eminence, he thought the house must agree in the necessity of continuing a contest—until they had brought to a fortunate conclusion the most arduous conflict which this or any other nation ever stood engaged.
His Lordship then moved the address, which, as usual, was framed in answer to the speech, and was seconded in a most able and animated speech by Sir H. S. Mildmay.
November 23.
The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday arrived yesterday.
The effect of Lord Nelson's victory, upon the continent, appears very strongly in the proceedings at Rastadt. On all occasions the deputations of the empire, as well as the Austrian ministers, in their separate capacities, now adopt a more firm and decisive tone. Under date of the 8th inst. we learn from Rastadt, that as energetic note, on the subject of the French demands, had been delivered by the deputation of the empire to the French plenipotentiaries, in which it protests against the demands, as contrary to the first basis of peace, and as inconsistent with the honour and safety of Germany. This was accompanied by another note, respecting the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein; on which subject the Prussian ministers have also given in a memorial. In this they treat the objection of the French ministers to enter into the question as futile; and request of the French government that the blockade may be raised, and the fortress revisited.
The Brussels article of the 8th inst. states, that in consequence of a general attack having been made on the insurgents by the French general Beguinot, in which he everywhere defeated them, tranquility was restored. This restoration of tranquility appears, however, to be so far from having taken place, that troops are stated in the same article to be daily arriving, in order to quell the revolt; and the department of Dyle had been declared in a state of siege.
The Vienna article of the 7th inst. states, that General Aussenberg had received instructions to maintain the independence of the Grisons.
The Milan article states, that the Austrian troops which had entered the Grison country, had taken possession of all the Grison frontier towns next Italy.
According to the accounts of a Ragusan captain who had arrived at Milan, the harbour of Malta was blocked up by five English and Portuguese ships of the line, and two frigates.
The last accounts from the British squadron on the coast to Egypt, were dated on the 20th of September. The French transports in the harbour of Alexandria had not then been destroyed; but as a Turkish and Russian combined fleet of twenty-two sail was every day expected to join the British squadron, there can be little doubt but that this important service has long been now been satisfactorily performed. Lord Nelson was first to proceed to Malta, upon his quitting the port of Naples.
From the latest accounts from France, and such as may be confidently relied upon, the Reign of Terror in that unhappy country is not less strong than it was in the time of the ferocious Robespierre. In the provinces, indeed apprehensions more forcibly prevails than even in the time of that Despot; as a single mind could hardly be u-
posed capable of such complicated subtlety and mischief, as is to be feared from the confederation vices of five execrable tyrants.
DUBLIN, November 23.
Yesterday morning early, a period was put to the mortal course of the infamous Tone. The inflammation arising from the wound extended itself to the lungs, and is said to have been the immediate cause of his death.
The body of Tone was on Tuesday, delivered to his friends to be buried.
CRAWCOW, Nov. 3.
The first column of the Russian army employed as Auxiliaries to Austria, has already passed Lublin. It consists of 24,000 men, and is commanded by prince Ferdinand of Wurtemberg, and under him by count Rosenberg. There are Cossacks and Colmacks with it. About the end of this month one column will march by New Vitebsk, and the other by Trappan.
The Emperor of Russia has prohibited Berlin Journals in his dominions, because he thinks timid neutrality, when the general interests of society are concerned, is little less degrading than Gallic fraternity.
LONDON, November 24.
We yesterday received by express, Paris papers to the 20th inst.
These journals contain no authentic account respecting Buonaparte. The Naples article, in the Echo of latest date, contains the same account of the defeat of the Pacha of Syria, near St. John d'Acre, which was brought by the last French papers we received, in an article from Rome of the 24th ult. The authority on which it was stated at Rome, was that of letters from Cephalonia and Messina. This account does not appear to have been credited even at Paris, and the Propagateur makes the following observations on it:
The authors of these letters who make Buonaparte enter Aleppo on the 16th of September, appear to forget that the distance between Cairo and Aleppo is 100 myriameters and that the last official dispatches from Buonaparte were dated at the former city on the 19th August. Even supposing that an army with so many difficulties to overcome could march three myriameters per day, no less than 33 days would be necessary for this journey. Admitting, therefore, which is very improbable that the army let out on the 20th August, the day following the date of the last dispatches, and that they marched 33 days without stopping, he could not have reached Aleppo until the 22nd September. But it was at least six days short of this time that Buonaparte employed on his march, if we were to give credit to the Naples letters. The news appears to us to be premature. The letters may perhaps have mistaken the date, and Buonaparte may have entered Aleppo on the 1st Oct. though it is not to be believed that he did so on the 16th of September.
These observations are alone sufficient to discredit the account: An overland express from India has, we understand, brought intelligence from one of the company's agents, that proves the falsehood of it by a more certain test than its improbability. A vessel carrying dispatches from Buonaparte had been wrecked, but some of the crew had been picked up. From these information was collected, that the French army in Egypt and Syria (for the head quarters of Buonaparte were still at Grand Cairo, while Berthier had advanced into Syria) was in a very desperate situation. Some private letters received by this overland express, even go so far as to assert that Berthier had met with a very considerable check in Syria; but we cannot ascertain that much credit is due to the communication.
The revolt in Flanders appears to be still in a state formidable to the peace of the Directory. The Brussels article of the 14th inst. gives an account of the insurgents being in considerable force, and it appears, from the municipality having required the sedentary National guard to return the arms with which they had been entrusted, and to cease from actual service; that the inhabitants of Brussels are not considered as very firm in their allegiance to their despotic masters.
On Thursday an express, overland from India, was received at the India house, by which the directors are informed that the Earl of Mornington is arrived at Bengal. That every thing is quiet in all parts of our extensive possessions in the east, and that there are no appearances of any extraordinary preparation on the part of Tippoo Saib.
Downing Street November 20.
A decree having been published by the French Directory, declaring, that all persons natives of or originally belonging to neutral countries in alliance with France, who may form a part of the crews of any of the King's ships of war, or any other British vessels, shall be considered and treated as pirates; his Majesty has directed it in Great Britain, that if this decree shall in any instance, be carried into effect against any such persons taken in any vessels the property of his Majesty, or of his Majesty's subjects, and navigated under the British flag, it is his Majesty's determination to exercise the most vigorous retaliation against the subjects of the French Republic, whom the chance of war has now placed, or may hereafter place, at the King's disposal.
VIENNA Nov. 4.
In case of the renewal of the war, the Emperor will command the army of Italy in person. After several ministerial conferences, the war loan for the campaign about to be opened, has been fixed the same as the present. fresh contracts have been made with the furnishers of provisions.
The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31.
The piece signed "Candor," and dated at Princeton, cannot be published in this Gazette, for reasons which will hereafter appear.
Certain disaffected persons in the township of Blockley, near this city, a few days ago, erected a liberty-pole, bearing an inflammatory label against the government of the United States. Two or three orderly citizens, justly offended by this daring outrage on the laws and honor of their country, immediately levelled it; for which they were yesterday brought before his honor the Chief Justice, who bound them to their future orderly behaviour, and to make their appearance in court! Quare, if to cut down a pole of this infamous nature deserves such wholesome rigor, what will those who erected it deserve?
Extract of a letter from Charleston, South-Carolina, dated the 14th instant.
"I never saw our stores so full of rice, cotton, and tobacco as they are at present; and I never saw, at this season, so few vessels in harbor: twenty float brigs or ships from the northward, would, very promptly, get freighted on good terms."
The New-York Gazette of yesterday, contains the following article: "We find nothing new (in the English papers) concerning Buonaparte; but it is said there is an official account in town of his being "completely dist'd."

WHEREAS two Irishmen came last night, drunk, to the house of the late publisher, one of whom held his club over the head of a young man in the office, suspended for an answer to the question if his name was Fenno; the other of whom held in his right hand a naked cutlass; and whereas the aforesaid cowardly ruffians, after bullying the clerk for some time, and threatening vengeance and destruction against me, departed without leaving their names or their business; I hereby offer the above reward, to be paid on conviction. They are both described to me as raw Irishmen, and filthy, dungeond looking villains. One of them had on a large cocked-hat, rises six feet four inches in height, and proportionably stout, black mane and tail, had on a blue coat edged with white. This fellow held the cutlass.
JOHN WARD FENNO.
N. B. A third, flood centry outside the door. Curious as this affair appears at present, it would have appeared much more curious and interesting if these ruffians had not made a timely retreat. The fowls of all of them would most assuredly have been delivered up to everlasting sleep, or, as Cobbett says, "they would have taken their flight to Hell from my door-way that night" had they persisted in their intentions. If it were not that the ignorance of these fellows was equal to their cowardice, they would not single out my house as the principal object of their attacks. They imagine themselves assaulting a family composed principally of females: one serious experiment will undecive them.
It is plain that these three fellows were hired by some person or persons, for the purpose of assassinating me. Their whole conduct authorizes this conclusion; and it is very clear, that they did not come on their own account, from the total ignorance they repeatedly displayed of the grounds on which they were proceeding. As they left the house, they threatened to return in an hour; but have not since made their appearance. If it is asked who hired these men? I cannot answer: if it is asked, who could have hired them? it is plain enough. The man who publicly advertised a reward of one hundred dollars for such braveos, is a proper and legal object of suspicion.
P.S. Since writing the above, I have discovered one of the ruffians, and have a prospect of securing the others.

WHEREAS, BY an Act of Congress passed the sixteenth day of July in the year of our Lord one thou- sand seven hundred and ninety eight, the Presi- dent of the United States is authorized to borrow on behalf of the United States from the Bank of the United States, or from any other body or bodies politic or corporate, or from any person or persons, and upon such terms and conditions as he shall judge most advan- tageous for the United States, a sum not exceeding five millions of dollars, to however, that no contract or engagement be made which shall preclude the United States from reimburs- ing any sum or sums borrowed at any time after the expiration of fifteen years from the date of such loan. And whereas, it is declared by the said Act, that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on Imports and Ton- nage beyond the permanent appropriation as here- fore charged upon them by law, shall bepledg- ed 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 afore- said— And whereas by the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to establish 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, of any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act. And whereas the President of the United States did by an Act or Commission under his hand dated the ninth day of January in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine, au- thorize and empower, the Secretary of the Treas- ury, to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole, five mil- lions of dollars and to make such contract or contracts as should be necessary, and for the in- terest of the United States, in pursuance of the Act of Congress above recited.
Now therefore, the undersigned, Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of the Act of Congress, and the authority from the President of the United States, above mentioned, doth hereby on behalf of the United States of Amer- ica, contract and engage in manner following, to wit: 1st. A book for receiving subscriptions to a Loan of five millions of dollars for the use of the United States shall be opened in the city of Philadelphia, at the Bank of the United States on Thursday the twenty eighth day of February ensuing, which book shall continue open for the purpose of receiving subscriptions, until the whole of the said five millions of dollars shall be subscribed. If more than five millions of dollars shall be subscribed on the first day of opening the said Loan, the surplus shall be de- ducted in proportion to the sums subscribed by individuals, exceeding four thousand dollars. 2d. For every hundred dollars which he may be subscribed there shall be forthwith deposited and paid, the sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents, and like payments of twelve dollars and fifty cents, shall be made within the first ten days of the months of April, May, June, July, August September and October ensuing. The Secretary of the Treasury however reserves the right of reducing the number of installments by spe- cial agreements, with the individuals who may become subscribers. 3d. On the failure of payment of any install- ment 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 Unit- ed States.
4th. The sums subscribed shall and may be paid to the credit of the United States, at the Bank of the United States, or at the offices of discount and deposit of the said Bank at Boston, New-York, Baltimore, or Charleston, or at ei- ther of the Banks of Salem, in Massachusetts, Newport and Providence in Rhode-Island, Hart- ford in Connecticut, Albany in New-York, or Alexandria in Virginia, for which payments the receipts of the Cashiers of the Offices of Dis- count and Deposit and of the Banks aforesaid shall be received at the Bank of the United States as equivalent to money; but no payment of a subsequent installment shall be received at any other place than that where the first installment was paid, except at the Bank of the United States; in case any deposits shall be made at the offices of Discount or Deposit, or at either of the Banks aforesaid, which shall not be applied to the payment of the first installment of subscrip- tions to the Loan aforesaid, the said deposits shall be forthwith refunded by directions from the Treasury.
5th. For the sum or number of shares of one hundred dollars, which may be subscribed, cer- tificates shall be given by the Cashier of the Bank of the United States, which shall be assignable by indorsement, and delivery of the parties in whose favour the said certificates may be issued, until the completion of the payments required by the tenor of the second article preceding.
6th. The sums subscribed and paid in pur- suance of the tenor of the second article preced- ing, shall after the said payments have been completed, constitute a funded capital stock divisible into shares of one hundred dollars each, which capital stock shall bear interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum from the times fixed for the payment of the respective install- ments payable quarterly at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the same may stand credited, until the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eight.
7th. After the last day of December in the said year one thousand eight hundred and eight, and after reasonable notice to the creditors, which shall be given by an advertisement in some public news- paper, printed at the seat of the government of the United States, the said capital stock shall be re- deemable at the pleasure of the United States by the United States for the reimbursement of the whole sum or sums borrowed, and which may constitute the said capi- tal stock either at the treasury of the United States or at the Loan offices where the same may stand credited.
8th. The credits for the said capital stock shall and may be separately certified in sums either for one hundred, four hundred, one thousand, four thousand or ten thousand dollars, and the credits so certified shall be transferable by the creditors, or their attorneys, at the Treasury and Loan Offices respectively, in pursuance of the rules which have been, or which may be established relative to the transfer of the funded stock of the United States.
9th. A sufficient sum of the surplus of the duties on Imports and Tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations heretofore charged upon them by law, together with the faith of the United States are hereby pledged for the fulfillment of this con- tract, in pursuance of, and according to the terms and conditions of the act of Congress herein be- fore recited.

Is there an American, young or old, not in- terested in the History of the first Rise and Progress of his native Country, and from so celebrated a pen as that of Doctor Robertson?
Just Published, AND TO BE SOLD BY JAMES HUMPHREYS, No. 59, South Third Street, opposite the Bank o the United States, (Price one dollar neatly bound and lettered, in boards, five shillings) Dr. Robertson's History of AMERICA, Containing The history of Virginia to the year 1685, and the history of New-England to the year 1682, be- ing what the Doctor had completed pre- vious to his death. It has lately been given to the public with a pre- face by his son at Edin- burgh, has already pass- ed through three or four editions, and has been transla- ted and pub- lished in French at Paris.
Mr. Robertson in his preface observes, "During the course of tedious illness, which he early fore saw would have a fatal termination, Dr. Robertson at different times destroyed many of his papers: But after his death, I found that part of the History of (British) America which he had wrote many years before, and which is now offer- ed to the public. It is written with his own hand as all his works were; it is as carefully corrected as any part of his manuscripts which I have seen; and he had thought it worthy of being pre- served, as it escaped the flames to which so many other papers had been committed. I read it with the utmost attention; but, before I came to any resolution about the publication, I put the MSS. into the hands of some of those friends whom my father used to consult on such occasions, as it would have been rashness and presumption in me, to have trusted to my own partial decision. It was per- fected by some other persons also, in whose taste and judgment I have the greatest confidence: by all of them I was encouraged to offer it to the public, as curious and interesting in itself, and not inferior to any of my father's other works." The Editor of the Paris Edition apostrophizes the above work in the following manner. "Every thing ensures success to this volume the talents and reputation of the author, and the impression still recent in the minds of all who have read the excellent work of which this is the comple- tion—a complete to give it an extensive spread. The history of America was the master-piece of one of the two ablest, or rather one of the two only modern historians. He has created this part of history, distinguished this chaos of the New World, distinguished with the hand of a master the part of genius, fortune, courage and crime, and conquer- ed as it were, America, for literary, commercial, and political Europe." To ensure this last volume circulation, it is necessary only to name its author, and to remark, it possesses all that acuteness of observation, that perspicuity of exposition, the art of referring ef- fects to causes, and of mingling with the account of events, the wholesome and most approved principles of morals and politics, for which this writer was so eminently conspicuous—in short, that it exhibits the talents of ROBERTSON."
