FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD.
Mess. WILLETT & O'CONNOR. Gentlemen,
AS many of your subscribers still doubt of the arrival of Buonaparte at Alexandria, I think you cannot do better than publish the enclosed extract from a late London paper, and also the paragraph from a late number of the United States Gazette, for by comparing them you will find that general Serurier was swallowed by a Crocodile, on the 19th June, and that he was in the United States on or about the 19th October. Your doing so will at once convince the greatest sceptic of Buonaparte's arrival, and farther (which is of great consequence to the Virginia Philosopher) it determines the swiftness of the Crocodile, for no doubt the Frenchman put her to the greatest speed. How the citizen general fared upon the passage I cannot conceive—except by his so long being in the French army of Italy, he might have learned to lay the young under contribution—but that he was on the banks of the Nile is certain. And that he is now here as certain, if we can believe the newspapers. These Frenchmen are devils, Mess. Printers, and should it be a fact, that general Serurier has got to this country by such a strange conveyance, we may then expect by our next arrivals from India, to hear that Buonaparte's army (except the 1200 that did not embark, or rather were not swallowed by the Crocodile) is safe arrived at Mangalore. And, pray gentlemen, what is the use of a navy in a case of this kind? We must get a fleet of Allegators from the Southern States, or we are ruined. CERTAIN.
Buonaparte's Expedition.
Extract of a letter from an English gentleman in the army under the command of Gen Buonaparte. ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 20.
"Hang be the Heavens with black, yield day to night." "Comes importing change of times and states," "Brandish your crystal trident in the skies" "And with them scourge the bad revolving fars" "That have confessed to the Hero's death" HENRY V. "Alas! my dear friend, the Hero of Italy, the Pacifier of Europe, the Conqueror of Loz, the Terror of Emperors, Popes and Kings, the Bounder of Republics, the man—" "Who was raised the meteor of the world, Hung in the sky, and blazing as he travelled." The great Buonaparte is no more consigned to the merciless jaws of a cruel Crocodile.
"As well as any anguish and tears will permit, I shall briefly relate to you this tragical event. Having taken possession of the city of Alexandria, the general proceeded hastily to fortify the harbor. Some disturbances arose, which were fomented by a Turkish Pacha with three tails, all of which by way of punishment, the general ordered to be cut off. The unfortunate man indeed had a fourth which he earnestly entreated to have spared, but Buonaparte, who never approved of half measures, ordered that also to be cleared away."
"All necessary preparations being made, the army consisting of 13,000 men, took the direction of Aleppo, marching in good order along the banks of the Nile. General Serurier, who sat out the day before, was considerably forward with the advanced guard when Buonaparte began his march, which was rapid, but exceedingly fatiguing from the excessive heat of the weather. On the approach of night we found ourselves in a fine plain, on the banks of the river Nile, but in some places rather swampy. Here the army halted for the night, and Buonaparte, as pious as Aeneas himself, determined to omit no religious duties, ordered the soldiers to sing the Marseilles Hymn five times in honor of the Directory, and Ca Ira twice in honor of the two councils; after which they danced the Carmagnole, and lay down to rest."
"While the others were asleep, I proceeded to an adjoining eminence with my telescope, in order to make some observations upon Syria. At first I perceived that the dog appeared to wear a furry aspect, when on a sudden his countenance shewed a wonderful degree of brightness, and 'mirabile dictum' he seemed to wag his tail. After gazing for some time with astonishment at this strange phenomenon, I turned my eyes towards the river, and beheld issuing from its banks, and marching directly for the Republican camp, an army of at least 12,000 alligators. I would immediately have cried out, but—" "Obscurus, fteruque; coma, et vox faucibus haesit."
"The depredating monsters pursued their march with regularity and silence, surrounded the sleeping camp, and immediately proceeded to satisfy their abominably voracious appetites with the flesh and blood of true Republicans. Judge, my dear friend, of my horror and despair, when I saw a crocodile, at least 40 feet in length, enter the tent of the Hero of Italy, and how much stronger were my feelings when I perceived the monster come out with Buonaparte in his jaws, having already devoured the whole of his Aides-de-camp. I knew the General by the boots in which he slept, and my heart was tortured on hearing his cries, while the amphibious monster—" "Miserus morbi depulit auras" "Vixitibus miserum, & sanguine velutur atro." "Vidi, atro cum membra fluenta taho" "Manderet, et tepido tremuerunt sub dentibus artus."
"The gallant Berthier was seized by another of these monsters, and the fearless Massena plunging into his enormous throat to relieve and bring out his friend, the voracious crocodile swallowed them both down like an oyster." "Not such was the fate of the valiant general Victor; for while he was in the jaws of an alligator, which extended them at the same time to swallow a chauffeur, the latter

BELFAST, September 11.
It is rumoured that a French armament having 1200 troops on board, have been taken, and carried into Galway.
Yesterday afternoon an express arrived from Larne to the Honorable C. Skirving mentioning that four large ships and five brigs were seen off that coast. In consequence of the intelligence, the different regiments in town received orders to be in readiness at a moment's warning.
DUBLIN, September 13.
Extract of a letter from Granard, Sept. 12th containing some further account of the affair which took place there between the Yeomanry and the Rebels on the 5th inst.
"On the evening of the 4th inst, information was received that the Rebels were collecting in this neighbourhood in great force, and had committed dreadful depredations on the property of the inhabitants in this vicinity; this was soon authenticated by unfortunate families flying from all sides into the town, and taking refuge in the barracks."
"The Rebels at this time marched to Edgeworthstown and disarmed a party of the Maffin Cavalry, commanded by Captain Bond. On the morning of the 5th inst. information being received that they were advancing towards this town, the garrison, consisting of the Granard and Ballymacue Cavalry, detachments of the Cavan, Ballintemple, and Kilmore Infantry, under the command of Capt. Cottingham, and the Ballymacue Infantry, under the command of Capt. Pallas, marched out to meet them."
"They appeared within a mile of the town in great force; upwards of 4,000, armed with muskets and pikes, commanded by Alexander Deniston, Lieutenant in Captain Bond's corps of cavalry, Mr. Hans Deniston, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. Miles O'Reilly, all of this neighbourhood; they were drawn out in line of battle, opposed to our handful, and first, after a few volleys were exchanged, their flanks filed off, intending to surround us; at the same time the centre division marched forward, driving before them above 200 head of cattle. This obliged us for a moment to retreat, which was effected in good order, until we reached the Moat, a high eminence commanding the town, when a hot and well directed fire was kept up, which soon obliged them to break and fly in all directions; the cavalry then charged and completed their destruction; while the centre division was attacking the Moat, the flanks advanced to assail the barracks, but the fire from the walls and temporary batteries that were lately erected, soon obliged them to retreat."
"The slaughter was immense—about 150 were left dead on the field, and the corpses of several others have been found since in the corn fields. O'Connell, one of their captains, was killed, as also Farrell, one of captain Bond's cavalry, who fell in his uniform. The garrison consisted of 174 infantry, and 50 cavalry, without a regular soldier, or any cannon."
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Kerry militia, to his friend in Dublin, dated at Ballinamuck camp, September 10, 1798.
"Since I left you in Limerick my time has been so totally engrossed, that I had neither leisure nor opportunity of fulfilling my promise of writing. Since our retreat from the county Mayo, we have never been two nights in one place; and the wildest parts of our country would afford more comfort than any part of Connaught where our operations have been in. Since we joined general Lake, on the 4th, at Ballynadeen, and got upon the line of road the French retreated, we have pursued them with a constancy perhaps not paralleled, through four counties, viz: Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim, Roscommon, and into Longford—the enemy well mounted and light, and we carrying all our baggage. Our hardships increased in the pursuit, never having pitched a tent, but resting on our arms under the canopy of Heaven, and trusting to the casual and scanty supply that fields of such a wretched country could afford, our rations and commissary always in the rear. Previous to our coming up with the enemy, we marched from beyond Ballingtogher, at three o'clock on Friday morning, to Ballinamuck, by ten on Saturday, and almost without rest."
"I could perceive the great body of the rebels waiting the event on a distant hill out of shot, though several were killed in French uniforms fighting in the ranks. This body flew into a bog where our cavalry could not pursue them, and were at too great a distance for our infantry, already jaded, to overtake them; many were driven to lord Cornwallis's army, and were taken prisoners."
"We expect orders this day or to morrow to march into winter quarters; and this day we part with our beloved general, whom every soldier adores and respects. Pardon my being diffuse—but I consider the 8th of September a proud day to every loyal Irishman."
Late Foreign News, PER THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, November 15.
In our Gazette yesterday, we gave an account of an action between Sir H. Nelson, and the French Admiral Bruyes, in the Mediterranean. The probability of this event is Paris papers. If there has been an engagement, and which we cannot doubt, it requires no great degree of sagacity, to guess how it terminated.
FROM THE PARIS PAPERS OF THE 16TH INST.
The Clef du Cabinet of the 16th inst. allusion to the defeat of the French fleet, says—"This event is doubtless very lamentable. Men and ships buried in the deep, after a combat sustained with the utmost intrepidity! Such a picture is certainly afflictive; but let us compare this loss with the triumph of Buonaparte in Egypt; the defeat of the French in Ireland, the success of Houdeville at St. Domingo; without including the taking of Malta, and we shall be able to decide whether the British have much reason to boast of the advantages they have gained since the departure of the Ton-British government will loudly proclaim them. Let us indulge it in that poor consolation. It is the joy of a man who boasts of his broken the forfeiture of his eternal Providence has said to Britain: "Ufque venies, et non procedes amplius." Thus far shalt thou go and no farther."
"The Ami des Loix of the same day says, "We fear that this unfortunate event, which is but too certain, will make every hope of peace disappear; we have strong reasons to believe in the re-commencement of the war."
The following we extract from the Chronique Universelle, as it appears to state some new circumstances:
"Though there is nothing to discredit the news of the misfortune which the squadron of admiral Bruyes has suffered, we are assured that no dispatches have yet been received from Vice-Admiral Villeneuve, that this officer himself is at Malta, with a ship of the line and a frigate; and that another ship of the line put into Corfu."
"It appears that only part of the squadron shared in the combat, and it may be easily supposed how unfavourable such an engagement must have been, especially in a road head."
"There is reason to hope that our loss will not be found so great as the first reports have stated. We are at least certain, that the British squadron, though of superior force, has not escaped without great damage."
"The River Elbome was scarce ever known to be fuller of shipping than at this time. The West-Indian and American ships are uncommonly numerous. The Americans are the only foreign ships permitted to come into the Port."

Admiralty-Office, September 22.
Copy of a letter from the Right Honorable Admiral Earl of St. Vincent, K. B. to Evan Nepean, Esq. dated Ville de Paris, before Cadiz, 20th August, 1798.
"I enclose the representation of a very gallant and obstinate action, fought by his Majesty's sloop L'Espoir, of fourteen six pounders, against a Ligurian Pirate of very superior force, which reflects such lustre upon his Majesty's arms that too much cannot be said in praise of it."
"The loss of Mr. Soulsby, the Master, is greatly to be lamented, as he was a very promising young man."
His Majesty's sloop L'Espoir, Gibraltar, 10th August, 1798.
My Lord, I must have the honor to acquaint your Lordship, that having under my charge part of the Oran convoy, on the 7th inst. about five P. M. I discovered a large ship seemingly steering to cut off the convoy, or for Malaga, Cape Windmill bearing N. E. by N. four or five leagues. If she proved an enemy I saw the preservation of the convoy depended upon my opposing her; I therefore hauled out from them, and made all sail to meet her. A little before seven P. M. perceiving her to be a man of war, and having to, to receive me, I hoisted our colours, that we might know each other, being then within musket-shot; she did not think proper to display her's; but when we came upon her weather-quarter, hailed, which I answered. He then ordered me, in a very imperious manner, and in good English, to, "go to leeward of him, and strike, or he would sink me," firing one shot into us, and instantly after his whole broadside, which we returned, and continued a very heavy fire of great guns and small arms on both sides, till about 3 quarters past ten P. M. when we had the satisfaction to hear him call out for quarters, "begging us not to fire any more; he was a Genoese." I told him we were a British man of war, and ordered him to lower all his sails and come on board of me, but he paid no further attention, and kept shooting up to gain a situation to rake us. We brought our broadside to bear, and, thinking his force too great to be trifled with, gave it to him with its full effect, and he returned it; but on our shooting ahead, and tacking to give him the other, he again cried out, "begging us not to fire again, that he was badly wounded, but would obey my orders immediate-ly," and on his lowering his sails all firing

cealed about eleven P. M. The vessel is called the Ligurian. Don Francisco de Ordo, Commander, a Dutch frigate sold to the Genoese, and mounting twelve eighteen pounders, four twelve pounders, ten six pounders, twelve long wall pieces, and four swivels, with 120 men on board, of all nations.
It would give me infinite pleasure if I could close this, without having to inform your Lordship, that in the first hour of the action I lost my master, Mr. Soullby; a loss I felt more severely, for he was brave with the greatest coolness, and knew his duty well. I had six men wounded, two badly; the Ligurian had seven killed and fourteen wounded; among them the boatman was killed, and the first captain very dangerously wounded.
No panegyric of mine can do justice to either warrant-officers or men; for the great disparity between the vessels shews, that had it not been for their spirited exertions, we must have fallen a sacrifice to these pirates, or whatever else they may be.
The service is much indebted to the spirited conduct of Captain Brown, of the 28th regiment who happened to be on board, by his animation, inspiring all around, and by his attention to the guns; nor would I do justice if I did not beg leave in the strongest terms, to recommend to your Lordship's notice, Mr. Hemphill, the purser, who, with my leave, came up from below, where he was stationed, and by his ability in attending the guns, saved me much, as after the loss of the master, my attention was more particularly required in manoeuvring the helm and sails.
I have the honor to be, &c. LOFTUS OTWAY BLAND.
[How would the spirits of the Dorset , could they revisit this theatre of Gallic phrensy, growl indignation at the degeneracy of these their despicable descendants. But, it is natural enough: thus does degeneracy and disgrace every where follow the footsteps of French fraternization; thus does her embrace, like the lewd touch of the profane harpies, or the foul incantation of a wizard, thrive up every where the souls of the subjected. The Genoese, while they were free, were renowned for enterprise, for bravery, and the most obstinate constancy and fortitude; but no sooner does the Gallic pestilence extend its blighting breath to them, than they decline in every national, every manly virtue, and become like their masters, unfit for any avocation but one common to wolves and tigers, that of preying on the spoils, and devouring the carcasses of those whom they find around them wiser and happier than themselves. In honorable quarrels they are wholly impotent and enervate; a British bomb-boat bears away their stoutest frigate; and in the field, one soldier of the faithful, one man armed in a just cause, wears to them too terrible an aspect to be looked upon.]
BERLIN, September 4. The latest letters from Constantinople state, that the Porte had received official accounts of a signal victory over the troops of general Buonaparte near Cairo, in which some thousands of the French were killed and two thousand made prisoners.
LONDON, September 15. This morning the Hamburg mail due on Wednesday last reached town. It brings intelligence of a very important nature. An article from Berlin, of the date of the 4th instant, states that official advices had reached Constantinople, of Buonaparte's army having been defeated near Grand Cairo, with an immense loss.
This intelligence comes likewise in private letters received by the Mail of this morning, both from Hamburg and Cruxhaven, of so late a date as the 9th instant, and is mentioned in the most confident terms.
Letters from Italy of the 28th ult. state that admiral Nelson, after having taken in provisions and water, had sailed from Syracuse in the beginning of the month. The admiral's fleet had been increased to 22 sail of the line, by the junction of four British ships from Cadiz and the Portuguese squadron.
From Milan we learn that the king of Naples still continues his warlike preparations with activity. The article from that place, also states the probability of a revolution in the Ligurian republic, similar to that of the 18th Fructidor in France.
One o'clock, P. M. Since our paper was put to press, with the foregoing intelligence, we have been able to ascertain in a great degree its authenticity. It was conveyed to Berlin by the Prussian minister at Constantinople, to whom it was officially communicated by the Turkish minister.
Buonaparte's force consisted of about 15,000 men. An army of 50,000 Arabs had assembled, a circumstance that, in our opinion, sufficiently accounts for the immense slaughter of the French. Orders likewise had been sent from the Grand Seignor to the different officers and chiefs, to fight to the last extremity in repelling the French.
Letters were received this morning from on board the homeward bound West-India fleet, dated at sea on the 17th of August, at which time they were all well. By these letters it appears that the John Bull, Goodall, one of the convoy, had captured a vessel, having general Pichegru on board, who, with Barthelmi, and several of the banished deputies (as we stated in our paper of the 8th instant) had made their escape from Cayenne. General Pichegru, after his capture by the John Bull, had been put on board L'Amiable, the commodore's ship, on board of which he is now on his passage to England.
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. Whitehall, September 14, 1798. A Dispatch, of which the following is a copy, has been received this morning from his Excellency the lord lieutenant of Ireland by his Grace the Duke of Portland, one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State.
Camp near St. Johnstown, September 8, 1798.
MY LORD, When I wrote to your Grace on the 5th, I had every reason to believe, from the enemy's movements to Drumshambo, that it was their intention to march to the north; and it was natural to suppose that they might hope that a French force would get into some of the bays in that part of the country, without a succour of which kind, every point of direction for their march seemed equally desperate.
I received, however, very early in the morning of the 7th, accounts from Lieut. Gen. Lake, that
they had turned to their right to Drumkearn, and that he had reason to believe that it was their intention to go to Boyle, or Carrick on Shannon; in consequence of which I hastened the march of the troops under my immediate command, in order to arrive before the enemy at Carrick, and directed Major General Moore, who was at Tubercurry, to be prepared, in the event of the enemy's movement to Boyle.
On my arrival at Carrick, I found that the enemy had passed the Shannon at Ballina, where they attempted to destroy the bridge; but Lieut. General Lake followed them so closely that they were not able to effect it.
Under these circumstances I felt pretty confident that one more march would bring this disgraceful war to a conclusion; and having obtained satisfactory information that the enemy had halted at Carrick, at ten o'clock on the night of the 7th to Moill, and directed Lieut. Gen. Lake to proceed at the same time to Cloone, which is about three miles from Moill, by which means I should be able either to join with Lieut. Gen. Lake in the attack of the enemy if they should remain at Cloone, or to intercept their retreat if they should (as it was most probable) retire on the approach of our army.
On my arrival at Moill soon after day break, I found that the enemy had begun to move towards Granard; I then proceeded with all possible expedition to this place, through which I was assured, on account of a broken bridge, that the enemy must pass in their way to Granard, and directed Lieut. Gen. Lake to attack the enemy's rear, and impede their march as much as possible, without bringing the whole of his corps into action. Lieut. Gen. Lake performed this service with his usual ability and ability; and the inclosed letter which I have just received from him, will explain the circumstances which produced the immediate surrender of the enemy's army.
The copy of my orders which I enclose, will show how much reason I have to be satisfied with the exertions of the Troops—and I request that your grace will be pleased to inform his Majesty, that I have received the greatest assistance from the general and staff officers who have served with the army. I have the honour to be, &c.
CORNWALLIS. P. S. I am sorry to find that the wounds of Lieut. Stephens of the Carabineers are more dangerous than they had been reported. His Grace the Duke of Portland, &c. &c. &c.
[Here follows general Lake's letter with the return of the French surrendered, killed, and wounded, &c. &c.] Extract of a letter from an officer in Lord Cornwallis's army. Camp at St. Johnstown, County of Longford, Sept. 9, 1798.
"You will have been anxious for news from me. My fatigue and my time oblige me to be short. We rendezvoused at Athlone on the 30th ult. and were brigaded as follows:"
The Advanced Guard Major General Moore. 1st Irish Militia & Light Infantry 650 2d ditto 700 3d ditto 680 400 Royal Bucks King's own Militia, (Green, and 380 Warwick, L. Infan.)
Major General Hutchinson. Downshire Militia 670 Armagh Militia 320 Antrim Militia 640
Major General Hunter. 2d, or Queen's 590 29th Regiment 563 Louth Militia 470
Major General Campbell. Sutherland Fencible 900 Suffolk ditto 479 Rex's ditto 400
"With Lord Roden's cavalry, and detachments from the 5th dragoon guards and Homepetch's hussars, and the Roxborough fencibles and detachments from the royal English and royal Irish artillery, making together near 9000 men."
"With these we marched from Athlone on the 30th August, and had reached Hollymount on the 4th of September, when we received information that the French and rebels had quitted Castlebar, and had pushed for Sligo. Gen. Lake then left us with the Reay fencibles and Armagh militia to join a brigade under Major General Taylor at Boyle, with whom he pursued the French to Colloony, near Sligo; and we marched to Ballyhannes, on the road towards Carrick on Shannon, to secure the passes of that river."
Next day General Moore left us with his Brigade, to support General Lake, but he left with us the Flank Companies of the Royal Bucks and Warwick, who were attached to Maj. general Hunter's Brigade. We encamped that night after a very heavy march, at French Park—and the next day we pushed on to Carrick on Shannon. We here received the surprising intelligence that the French and Rebels, after having been attacked most gallantly by the Limerick militia at Colloony, had taken their guns, and had pushed on to Manor Hamilton, in their way to Enniskillen, to penetrate into the North.—Lake was in their rear, and Major general Nugent had a considerable force to defend the passes of Lough Erne, which they did not dare attack. They therefore doubled back by the West of Lough Allen, & crossed the Shannon at Ballintra Bridge after a march of 32 Irish miles, assisted by horses, near four hours before Lord Cornwallis had brought us up to Carrick on Shannon, seven miles below it. We came to our ground on the 7th at four o'clock and soon afterwards general Lake who had followed them closely with Lord Roden's Fencibles, the 3d Battalion of Irish militia Light Infantry, the Armagh and Kerry militia, arrived at Leitrim, within three miles of us. Though we had marched so far, Lord Cornwallis moved us at eleven at night, as it was now evident that the enemy meant to have a race with us for Dublin—and by eight o'clock in the morning the Flank Companies of General Hunter's Brigade, viz. the 2d 29th, royal Bucks, and Warwick, came up, after 26 Irish miles (which are 42 English miles) with the enemy, who had halted at Cloone, on the road to Granard.
"In the darkness of a very stormy night the Royal Artillery, the Downshire, Suffolk, and Sutherland Regiments had, by the fault of their Guides, missed their road, and did not join us till nine. Lord Cornwallis did not think it prudent to attack only with General Hunter's Brigade, and the Enemy had moved off."
"As soon as the rest of our columns had
joined, we followed and at eleven in the morning on the 8th, had the pleasure of seeing them brought to action by Lieutenant General Lake, whose cavalry had checked them in the most gallant manner till he could attack them with the 3d Irish light infantry, the Armagh and Kerry militia, and the Reay Fencibles. Northing could be more animated than the conduct of these regiments under the eye and command of the gallant hero of Linacelle, and at noon the enemy's line gave way. The French called for quarters, and were spared, but a few of them, with many of the rebels, having been driven on the left of Lord Cornwallis's line, which was occupied by the light companies of the Royal Bucks, were checked by them, and could no escape from the pursuit of the cavalry, who pressed close upon them. By half past twelve the firing ceased, and we found our labours well repaid by the capture of every Frenchman left alive, near 900, and of 60 rebels out of 2000, amongst whom I am sorry to say we took fourteen of our Longford militia, who deserted to them at Castlebar. Their cannon, stores, arms, in short every thing has fallen into our hands."
"Nothing could exceed the zeal or the exertions of the regiments under this incredible fatigue. The 2d and 29th had come from the county of Wexford, the Reay and Armagh, and the 1st and 2d Irish light infantry from Wicklow. The Royal Bucks and Warwick from Dublin, and the Sutherland from Drogheda, all from the eastern or opposite coast. Of the rebels, who at one time were upwards of 5000, not one remains in arms; their three generals taken or killed, and the number slaughtered is very considerable."
"Immediate steps are ordered for the punishment of the guilty; and thus ends the long meditated project of French invasion, which has only tended to shew the little dependence which the French and Irish Directors can mutually repose in each other's promises. The French are outrageous in their complaints of the Irish, whom they execrate for having deceived them; and our unfortunate countrymen have had sufficient experience of the blessings of French fraternity, which they will long remember, having now fed at free cost near 1400 very hungry families for 18 days, exclusive of a rabble of 15000 men, whom their French brethren call " des plus grand felerates qui ont jamais existes ," and who have paid with their lives (at least the greatest part of them) for the treasons of our Irish, and of your English patriots, who have led them to their ruin, escaping themselves from the punishment they deserve."

PARIS, 9th Fructidor, Sept. 3. It is pretty generally supposed here, that no rupture will take place between America and France.
We are assured, that ere long a treaty of offensive and defensive alliance will be concluded between the Roman and French Republics. The latter we understand, is to furnish the former with a corps of 12,000 French troops, for which it is to pay a certain sum per annum.
[In an American Gazette, this delusion should be exposed in simple terms, and we should call the 12,000 breechless ruffians a Pictorian band, quartered on the poor Italians to keep down the sovereign mob, for whose support the oppressed are compelled to provide. Great God! how long will these ravagers be permitted thus to trample on the rights of mankind, and call it Liberty .]
NEW-YORK, November 15. The now blessed Island of Malta is organizing in the French manner. A national guard is established in the first place—Religion is prohibited next—and the churches stripped of their wealth. Then comes requisition on requisition—Some murmurs are expressed but the cupit is not fear to a battle by a lettre de cachet, but his head is struck off at the order of a brutal commandant. Then a liberty pole is erected, and the Decadi established, and the wretches forced to join in the celebration of a feast commemorative of the destruction of their liberties, the overthrow of their government, the contempt of the solemnities of matrimony, and the universal pillage of their property. So much for tameness and pusillanimity.
Calculating on the success of the insidious wiles of the directory, the general opinion in France is, that their will be no rupture between that country and this. They are sensible of the impolicy of their late measures, and they hope yet to pull us by crocodile tears, and a deceitful show of a pacific temper. But the door of reconciliation with pirates and plunderers is to be hoped that for ever. We have already had our pockets picked, and if we suffer ourselves to be again gulled, the next step of these fraternal villains will be to cut our throats.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16.
Every honest man in America will heartily join us in the wish that the murderer Buonaparte may meet the fate of the apostate JULIAN. Happily, this wish, far from being chimerical, is exalted by our news of yesterday, into a well-grounded expectation. In tracing the tracks of former adventurers on this hazardous theatre of action, as accurately as the scanty materials furnished us will allow, we discern no evidence of the success of any enterprise undertaken in similar circumstances to the present. Alexander, it is true, passed the defiles of Syria, and after subduing Porus and his multitude of Elephants, penetrated to the Punjab. But, without instituting a comparison between the course of Alexander and that of Buonaparte, it is worth while to advert to the far greater degree of similarity, which appears, both between the conduct and the characters of the Imperial apostate and the Gallic assassin.
The certainty of the defeat and destruction of the maritime force, added to the total loss of a large army and immense body of officers, with a man at their head, who, however infamous for the atrocity of his crimes, and, whether an able general or not, was worth, from his popularity, more than an hundred thousand men, must prove a staggering blow even to so colossal a power as that of the Great Nation. Already I see the revolutionizing crew, those ill-omened birds of prey, who have so long devoured the vitals of the empire, trodden every where under the foot of the suffering peasant and the oppressed gentleman. Barbary and valets shall no more act over the governmental gambols, and "dressed in little brief authority, play such fantastic tricks before high Heaven, as makes e'en Angels weep." The Directorial Harlequin may dance his antic hornpipe; but others shall no longer play the piper. America, freed from the gripe of fanaticotism, and fraternization, shall yet live, and, having nothing else to do, begin, at last, to take care of herself. In this work, she may find a task requiring all the energy of thought and action, which characterized of old the sages and heroes of Greece and Rome, when the salus populi was guarded by a Lycurgus and a Solon from the keeping of Democratic ruffians, and promoted by a Dictator, who knew how to direct against the enemies of the State the just vengeance of the law.
The Moslems, pulled by the whiskers, winee: This is all good. Let the work go on. Citizen Revolution has probably yet to take a tour through Turkey—to inflict into the patient Musselman, the many " simple virtues ," of the great nation. Their modesty, their benevolence, their generosity, their humanity! their disinterestedness, their modesty, their incorruptibility, all offer to the wondering Turk, lessons by which he may improve upon a system now quite Barbarian , compared with theirs.
The fanaticotish Admiral Bruer, was, it seems, dispatched to the other world, amidst fire and flame. Shakespeare would call this "A fore-taste of that which is to come." World to God, the here and the breaker of all Jacobins might be speedily assimilated.

Two men lately disputing on the accommodations provided for prisoners, in the different jails in the United States, found some difficulty in agreeing which merited a preference; when one of them put an end to the dispute by declaring Philadelphia to be the best, as he had tried them all.
The French, wonderful nation! seem to imagine themselves designed for the Crusaders or Knights Errant of the world. America had but to cry oppression , and they were in arms to deliver her. Since that how extensive has been their benevolence in this way: the Turks have just been delivered from out of the hands of their enemies, the Knights of Malta. Damnable nation! how extensive have been the miseries by her inflicted. But her shield is lost; and her spear is broken.
The Pacha of Palestine makes head against the invading Infidels. But though they contend on holy land, we may console ourselves with the reflection that no Christian blood will be spilled.
After all the various conjectures, it appears most probable that Buonaparte was bent on succouring Pashwan Oglou in his rebellion. That word Rebellion has a charm which draws the French as crows to carrion. But "Rebellion hath had ill luck."
The Empire of the Turks "hangs quivering on a point." It would be a pity to have it overthrown; because next to the French, it is the freshest and most enlightened in Europe.
It would be curious to examine how many kinds of liberty have found shelter in the recesses of Gallic fraternization. The Swifts are calling for their former liberty ere they have quite done decrying their former tyranny . But amidst all the varied forms of liberty or of tyranny, none seems at present more universally obnoxious than French liberty .
A British cock-boat, it appears, has taken a frigate, belonging to their Sanfouiloth Majesties, of 42 guns. The frigate bears, it seems, the conquestorial title given

The audacity of these tyrants of the ocean, has long enough outraged humanity, and the Great Nation, as the undoubted rectifier of wrongs, cannot longer forbear to humble their pride. It is high time the Army of England had performed its duty—a duty so dear to humanity.

ON Monday a final discharge took place at the Tents on Schuylkill, when fifteen hundred persons, and upwards, were dismissed to their homes, who, during their residence at the Camp were chiefly supported, and wholly clothed by donations from our Citizens, and the inhabitants of all parts of the country. The general and early flight of the Inhabitants from the City, depriving the laboring classes of employment, and, consequently, of provisions; the manner in which great numbers of them were crowded together in small buildings, rendering their situation particularly hazardous; and the difficulty of extending relief to them at their several habitations, pointed out the expediency of procuring an asylum, where the attention and exertion of a few might shelter them from disease, and administer to their necessities. This has been effectually performed by the Committee: Few instances of the Fever have appeared among them through the whole season, and food and raiment have been amply supplied. Though tents, hastily pitched, are, by no means, a desirable retreat; yet, with the advantages of flooring, straw, and other conveniences, they have made the lot of those poor fugitives not only safe, but truly comfortable. The task of regulation among such an heterogeneous concourse of characters must have been attended with many difficulties; it has, however, been observed, by numerous witnesses, that the harmony and order, apparent in every quarter of the encampment, deserve the highest encomium. Schools were early established by the Committee in which upwards of four hundred children were daily instructed by suitable teachers selected from the Tents; and it is a pleasing fact that many, who, in September, were totally ignorant of the alphabet, are now enabled to read with propriety. To prevent idleness from becoming habitual, some of the men were sent to labor at the Canal; while others, with the women, were employed in making up clothing for themselves and their brethren: The superintendence of their health was committed to a Physician of eminent talents, whose indefatigable industry and kind attention can only be rewarded by his own reflection: And, to complete this picture of benevolence which appeared like a star of mild radiance through the gloom of calamity, the inculcation of moral and religious duty was regularly attended to on the Sabbath, when discourses were delivered in which the purest principles were pointed out with perspicuity, and the necessity of their practical adoption strongly enforced. Such have been the consequences of an institution commenced in uncertainty and prosecuted with anxiety. Nothing need be said on the merits of the Committee, their works speak a language which cannot but be understood by every friend to the happiness of mankind.

Sixty Dollars Reward. MADE their escape from the Gaol in the bo- rough of Lancaster, on Saturday evening last, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, two French prisoners, part of the crew of La Croya- ble. The one named Etienne Aslin , a native of Bor- deaux in France, 26 years of age, about 5 feet 6 inches high, dark eyes and complexion, by trade a carpenter, supposed to be unacquainted with the English or German language. Had on when he went away, a white hat, pantaloons, and a jacket, tight made, and probably took with him some other clothes. The other named Peter Duprieux , a native of Bujon in France, 20 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches high, grey eyes, dark complexion, a seaman by occupation, a dirty ill-looking fellow. Had on when he went away, a blue sailor's jacket, with large tow trowsers, an old wool hat, speaks imper- fect German. Also, made his escape the same day, about nine o'clock in the morning, from the same gaol, a ne- gro man named Peter Hays , about 5 feet 4 inches high, of a smiling countenance, lately convicted of a felony in this county. Had on when he went away, a long blue coat, a pair of white trowsers, both ragged, and a black hat.

Forty Dollars Reward FOR APPREHENDING A GENTLEMAN NEGRO, By name GEORGE or GEORGE PARKER , the property of the subscriber, who has thought proper on the night of the 28th inst. to escape from his master without any provocation or just cause; he was formerly the property of Beckwith Bauls, esq. and lived a considerable time with Pottenger, who kept tavern in Frederickburg, having seen much company and travelled with several gentlemen through different parts of this state, he is much known. It is therefore conjectured he will push for some of the northern cities or towns as he has discovered an aversion to plantation work, though he may perhaps have crossed the ridge where he has a brother belonging to major Butler. This fellow is about five feet seven inch. a high, well proportioned and walks active and brisk, his countenance is open and agreeable enough when in good humour; he can hardly be surpised in shrewdness; and is a very capable waiting-man, house servant, barber, &c. To describe his dress would be useless, as he possessed a variety of clothes, though when dressed lately, he wore a green coat bound with white seaming and spotted jacket and breches. Whoever brings him home or secures in goal in this or any other state the said fellow, so that I may get him again, shall have the above re- ward. ALEXANDER VASS. Falmouth Oct. 23, 1798. N.
