CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, December 30.
Debate on the report of the committee of ways and means, on the unsettled balances due from individual states to the United States.
[Continued.]
Mr. Gilbert, said, he should not then have risen again on the motion for the committee's rising, had it not been for the extraordinary observations just made from the honourable gentleman from New-Jersey. Mr. Gilbert said, he had never boasted of the wealth of New-York, or made, or noticed, any remarks like those imputed by the honourable gentleman—that he was at a loss to see, how that gentleman's observations were applicable to the matter under consideration, or indeed, admissible on the ground of propriety—they seemed to him, he said, to contain such insinuation, such implications, as he was surprised to hear advanced from so enlightened a quarter. What state in the union, Mr. G. asked, had not acted upon the same principles relative to property and jurisdiction, with New-York? Had not, he said, every sovereign state done the same? And had not New-Jersey done the same? Has not New-Jersey exclusively exercised and claimed to herself the benefit of all acts of confiscation and disposition of property within its jurisdictional compass? And what state had ever ceded these things to the union, or shared the right with others? Why then, should such things be mentioned as singularly applying to New-York? As to her back unappropriated wild lands, Mr. G. said, it was well known, that one of the principal creditor states (Massachusetts) had fully and equally participated in the whole of them. But, said Mr. G. what has the comparative indigence, or wealth of the states, to do with the subject of consideration? Because New-York might be considered wealthy, he did not expect, it would therefore be considered that she should pay—nor did he know how the gentleman from New-Jersey would take it for granted (he said) that the balance standing against New-York, was the result of a just settlement, and in fact, a righteous demand. He said, there could not be a gentleman present, acquainted with that business, who could, in his soul, believe it, especially when he perceived the immense sum rendered against that state, far exceeding the balances against all the other states united. In order, however, to have a fair inquiry into that subject, he really hoped the committee would then rise.
Mr. Holland hoped, from the commencement of this debate, that it would have been conducted with temper and moderation; but the gentleman from New-Jersey (Mr. Dayton) had implicated all the states which were reported to be debtor states. Mr. H. said there was justice in those states; but when it was generally believed that improper and fraudulent charges had been admitted by the commissioners, was it not to be expected that there would be a desire in them to have a review of the settlement? He was confident whenever the debtor states should be convinced that the demands were just, they would open their funds and pay them, but not before.
Mr. Dayton (the speaker) rose to give a short answer to the members from North-Carolina and New-York, who had commented upon his observations. The former gentleman had insinuated that those who advocated the motion had done it with intemperance bordering on indecorum, but Mr. Dayton was happy to find that no expression of his had been pointed out, which might be construed into a violation of the strictest rules of decorum and good order, unless indeed for him to say that certain states were debtors of the United States, and that they ought to be required to pay what they owed, could be liable to that construction. The member from New-York had affected to misunderstand him when he spoke of their having withheld from the other states and appropriated to their own use that immense mass of property which had been acquired in the course of the war with Great-Britain and their allies, from the savages, at the common expence, and by the common exertion of the forces of the United States. He supposed that every member who heard him must have known that he did not allude to petty confiscations, but to those vast tracts of land called vacant or crown lands, in the conquest of which every regiment belonging to New-Jersey as well as to other states were employed. New-York had been willing that the union should participate with them in the expence and danger of the conquest, but, after it was effected, they had refused any share of the benefits, and thus by means of this and other spoils had enriched their treasury.
Mr. Gilbert said, it would seem by the observations of the gentleman from New-Jersey, that the conduct of the state of New-York was singular with respect to their having sold their vacant lands. He would ask if there was a state in the union which had vacant land, which had not done the same thing? Had any such state shared its land with the union? Certainly not, and he could see no propriety in the charge against New-York.
Mr. W. Smith wished to observe in reference to what had fallen from the gentleman from New-York (Mr. Livingston) respecting that state not being bound by the decision of commissioners because the state had not consented to the settlement. He would remark, that besides the co-operation of the representatives of that state, they appointed an agent to bring forward their claims which certainly showed their acquiescence to the proceeding. M. S. said he was surprised to hear gentlemen dwell so much upon the injustice of the proceedings of the commissioners, and upon the improper claims admitted, since he did not know how they could have come at their knowledge on the subject, since those proceedings had never been made public. With respect to the unfortunate frigate which had been alluded to by the gentleman from New-York, he could say that the state of S. Carolina was then paying for that frigate, and that it was not charged to the United States as had been insinuated. The committee rose, and on leave being asked to sit again. Mr. Harper hoped leave would not be given.
He would not repeat reasons for wishing this, as he had already laid them before the committee of the whole.
Mr. Baldwin relied upon it that leave would be given for the committee to sit again. It would be in fact to pursue the idea which the gentleman himself had lately expressed. The resolution under consideration is commencing the negotiation with the states which he had recommended. Mr. B. expressed great confidence that nothing would be necessary but to commence this negotiation, and that the states would at least discover a satisfactory disposition. If it was true, as had been contended by some members, that the general board of commissioners had conducted the business badly, or that they were wicked or corrupted, or if it should be thought by the states that they had proved themselves unequal to the work, as some seemed to suppose, which would set aside their award, the sooner it is known the better, that measures may be taken to form a new board and begin the matter anew. He persuaded himself when they communicated with the states, it would be found there was not one which would desire such a measure. When he recalled the recollection of the manner in which the whole war had been carried on without any rule of apportionment or any settlement of accounts between the states, and the ill-humour which had grown out of it, constantly aggravated by the yearly calls on the states for monies to support the old union, he was sure that no person who was a witness to the transactions of those times, would have a wish to see them repeated. The amount was so great, and the whole so perplexed, as well as irritating, that the friends to the peace and union of the country have perhaps never experienced so critical and anxious a period. The delegates used to bring forward their own state's claim, warmed by local zeal and private interest, and the councils of the union were for years agitated by the violence and passions of parties settling their own old disputed accounts. Experience seemed to have convinced every body, that no settlement could ever be made in that way, that some persons must be clothed with the character of judges, and the whole put over into their hands.
In October, 1786, the ordinance for this purpose first passed. He believed it would be found by the journal that it passed unanimously. He had never himself been witness to any public measure which seemed to take off such a pressure from the mind of every one, or which was received with such enthusiasm. The measure was so popular and satisfactory, that it was thought expedient the next year to extend the provisions, and give larger powers of chancery to the general board. The final ordinance on this subject was then passed. He believed it would be found in the journal about May 6th, 1787, and that this was also unanimous. After the formation of the government, under the present constitution, the same disposition continued, and the act just read by the gentleman from South-Carolina, (Mr. Smith) was passed. If he mistook not, this was also without opposition.
These things, said he, are not unknown in the several states; the men who were concerned in these times and events, are not all dead. He believed, when they should communicate with the different state legislatures, these men would not be backward to show themselves, and to show that they were still of the same mind, and faithful to their engagements. Though some individuals in this house appear to be quite fresh on the subject, as if they had made fresh discoveries, and seem disposed to begin anew, and say all they know about the S. Carolina frigate, Penobscot expedition, sea-coast guards, military bounties, rule of quoting, &c. &c. which had been for months, and almost for years, the subjects of general scramble, he had no apprehension that there would be found in the states any disposition to revive those disgraceful scenes. However, if the states choose to go over the business again, the sooner it is known the better. This can only be done by writing to them as the present resolution proposes. If they mean to abide by the present settlement, and yet state inconveniences in complying with it, they who had served most with him knew, he had not often been an advocate for intemperance in public measures. He should not forbear to mention, that there was one part of the subject which gave to him the most unpleasant sensations, and that was, where a state had, in a manner which he thought was not to be justified, obtained an advance from our treasury, of certificates to the amount of one million two hundred thousand dollars, in the assumption, before the settlement of the accounts, upon a false presumption that we were indebted to them, when at the time they were indebted to us a million of dollars. He should never believe, until he had seen the attempt made, that they could be reluctant in returning to our treasury, the million two hundred thousand dollars in certificates, which had in fact been advanced to them by mistake, or that they could expect in such circumstances the other states to submit to a direct tax to raise money to pay them a quarterly interest on those certificates.
Mr. Livingston could not permit it to go out to the world in the account of this day's debates, that he, or any of his colleagues, had made use of such expressions as charging the commissioners with being wicked or corrupt, or with being bribed. Such expressions had neither fallen from him nor his colleagues. He had the highest respect for one of them who was since dead, but still he believed men with the best intentions, might have admitted improper charges to an immense amount. Indeed, if it were determined that the states should be called upon for the balances, he should bring forward a resolution to the effect, and show the grounds upon which his suspicions were founded. The committee had leave to sit again. Adjourned.

By this day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, January 7.
The following late and important articles are extracted from London and Liverpool papers to November 17, received by the ship Hope, Capt. Edgerton, arrived at New-London on Friday last, in 36 days from Liverpool. [Argus.]
From London, Nov. 12.
The three Hamburg mails due since Wednesday last, arrived in town this morning. By the letters which they bring it appears, that general Wurmfier gained a complete victory over the French at Marmirolo, on the 7th ult. The loss of the latter, in the action, was between 4 and 5000 men killed and taken, besides several pieces of cannon, many ammunition waggons, all their magazines and a military chest.
Letters from Heidelberg of the 27th ult. confirm the accounts of the signal advantages obtained by the archduke over general Moreau, between the 12th and 22d of October. The loss of the Austrians on this occasion was about 2000 men; that of the French was considerably greater, some accounts making it amount to 8000 men. It seems to have been the object of Moreau to raise the siege of Kehl, with a view to secure a retreat over the Rhine at Strasburgh; but the activity of the archduke had defeated this scheme; and after several actions, in which he must have sustained very great loss, he was compelled to make good his passage at Huningen.
November 17.
There has been a report in circulation, that ministers have received accounts from Belfast, that a vessel bearing American colours had stood into that harbor, and seeing a king's ship lying at anchor, had endeavored to sheer off; but was taken, and it was found that she had 15,000 stand of arms on board. The captain had time to burn his papers, and he would neither say from whence he came or whither he was bound. We repeat the story exactly according to rumor, but on the face of it, it is a most improbable tale. If there was any design either on the part of the enemy, or the disaffected persons in that country (if there are any really disaffected) to smuggle arms into the kingdom, they would hardly have sent a vessel into a port so public as Belfast. The Irish papers say nothing of such an event.
Yesterday an account was received from Dover, stating, that intelligence had been communicated by the Telegraph to Lille, a few hours before the sailing of a vessel from Calais arrived there—that an engagement had taken place between the Austrian general Alvinzy, and the French general Massena, on the 20th ult. near Vicenza, in which the former were defeated; the French having made about 3000 prisoners and a number of officers prisoners. The cannon and all the baggage of the Austrians also fell into their hands.
LIVERPOOL, November 11.
The American ship, Corn Planter. Cohen, from Demarara, is taken by the French, and carried into Guadalupe, where the ship and cargo was confiscated.
OFFENBERG, October 21.
On the 18th inst. general Moreau endeavored to penetrate with all his force to the vicinity of Kennington, to raise the blockade of Kehl, and procure himself a free passage over the Rhine. The action was obstinate and bloody, but as soon as the Hungarian grenadiers, headed by the archduke Charles, came up, they fell like lions on the enemy and forced them to retreat.
On the 19th, the Austrians again attacked the French in the neighborhood of Riegel. This battle was likewise very bloody. General Wartensleben was wounded in the left arm by a grape shot. The loss of the French is very considerable, and they have been obliged to abandon Elzach and Emmendingen.
The head quarters of the archduke Charles were removed on the 20th from Herbolheim to Emmendingen. The Austrian troops have again entered Freybourg, victorious; and the communication between general Moreau and the corps which had advanced to Huningen, is cut off.
FRIBOURG, October 22.
After a continued fighting for four days, the Austrians have driven the enemy from Elzach, and out of Fribourg, into which they yesterday entered. These advantages cost them about 2000 men; but the enemy according to the account of the French generals themselves, lost between 5 and 6000 men, among which are 2000 prisoners. The French general Beaufais is killed.
RASTADT, October 23.
On the 19th, the archduke attacked the French with his whole army, along the valley of Elzach, by Swoosfawid, and Ending, to the Rhine, and totally defeated them.
On the 7th, marshal Wurmfier, with the greatest part of his army, attacked the French at Marmirolo—The battle lasted seven hours and ended in the route of the French, who lost between 4 and 5000 men in killed, wounded and prisoners; several pieces of cannon, ammunition waggons, all their magazines, 200 oxen, and their military chest. The defeat was complete, and the Austrian cavalry pursued the French quite to Verona. The slaughter was dreadful, as the Austrians gave no quarter on the road from Mantua to Verona.
VIENNA, October 19.
We have finally letters from Mantua, dated 2d and 6th October, confirming not only the advantages which Gen. Wurmfier has obtained over the French on the 11th, 15th, and 17th of September, but mentioning also of another attack on them on the 23d September, at the head of 15,000 men, in which the French were compelled to retire from several posts which they occupied near the fortress. Many waggons of provisions were taken from the enemy. General Wurmfier ordered on the 29th September, a division of 3000 men, to attempt a coup de main upon Governolo, occupied by about as many French troops; but these troops were repulsed and returned to Mantua, with a loss of some

hundred men. On the 3d of October gen. Wurmser made another sortie, but was also repulsed, and had to return with some confusion into the fort-ress. However these misfortunes animated the garrison more than it did discourage them. On the 6th of October gen. Wurmser went out again, and beat the French. One of their columns was pur-sued by the Imperial cuirassiers quite near to Ve-rona. The loss of the French must have been very considerable, as those cuirassiers have sabred down (or cut down with their swords) every Frenchman who was between Mantua and Verona, where the remainder of the fugitives took shelter in favour of a small garrison which they keep there.
General Buonaparte is undoubtedly superior in numbers to gen. Wurmser, but being obliged to detach 10,000 men to keep gen. Davidovich in respect, and to leave 8,000 men in the territories of Vicenza, to watch gen. Quasdanovich's motions: he cannot entirely prevent the attacks of general Wurmser. This is the present situation of Italy, whose fate and the issue of it excite the general curi-osity. Gen. Alvinzy, who directs the operati-ons of both the last mentioned generals, was to be-gin his operations in favor of Mantua by the 15th inst. whether he will succeed we have to learn yet.
According to letters from Dresden, the Elector has resolved to send his contingency of troops to the Imperial army, and 14,000 men are on their march from Bohemia to join the archduke Charles's army.
The news from general Latour's army extend to the 12th inst. Gen. Frolich had repelled the enemy from Leugen and Rumingen, with the loss of three cannons, 1 mortar, and 8 waggons of am-munition, and gen. Baillet dislodged him from Geilungen and Donau Etchingen. Field Marshal Petrasch intended to march on the 12th to Villin-gen, to attack the enemy there; and our troops advanced as far as Alt Bryfach, to destroy the bridge, but found the same already drawn on the other side of the river. At Kehl the enemy is so far concentrated, that he cannot do any thing else but to think on the defence of the fort, city and the fortified village.
The day of the Queen of France's decease has been observed at Court on the 16th inst. in a so-lemn tone.
Measurers are observed to go between London and Naples more frequent than ever. It is believ-ed that new negotiations are impending between both courts.
PARIS, October 31.
Much is said of the immense preparations mak-ing for an invasion of England; we must, said Ca-to, destroy Carthage; we shall never conquer the Romans but in Rome, said Hannibal and Mithri-dates. Marshal Saxe often repeated, that the En-glish would never be conquered but in London; we think, that if the British government refuses to accept just conditions of peace, and if they persist arming Europe against the republic, we must carry the war to the bank of the Thames, and force the government to accept the olive branch. We do not dissemble the multiplied dangers of such an enterprise, in-cases is doubtful; but, perhaps, it is necessary to hazard it, for the repulse of Europe and the glory of the French republic.
November 2.
A private letter from Genoa announces, that the inhabitants of Bastia, instructed of the departure of the English, and that they were making dispositions to blow up the fort by two mines, took up arms against them, and detained the governor as prisoner.
The dey of Algiers is exerting himself in the most spirited manner to maintain the independence of his ports! The English have infringed that independence and taken a Spanish frigate there, the Algerines have reclaimed it! and are preparing their whole maritime force!
November 6.
Citizen Directois, I hasten to communicate to the executive direc-tory the reception of letters from Brest, of the 3d instant (November) brought by an extraor-dinary courier, which announce that a general re-volution has just taken place in Ireland. This inter-esting news came by two ships brought into the road the same evening by our privateers, and which lately failed from Liverpool. Their captains state, that the Irish, after taking possession of near 30,000 stand of arms in Dublin, attacked and defeated 10,000 English troops! that the militia joined the insurgents; and that the whole country is in a state of insurrection. The arrest, and some other ar-bitrary proceedings, of which the English minister is accused, seemed to have provoked this commo-tion.
Health and respect,
General Bournonville to the Executive Directory.
MULHEIM, 3d Brumaire, Oct. 28.
I had the honor to give you an account yester-day of the attack of the army made by the enemy in the night between the 29th and 30th Vende-maire, (21st and 22d Oct.) upon the head of the bridge and the Isle of Neuweid; he has projected nothing less than to make the garrison prisoners of war, and to raise the works, and finally to cut off the communication of the left wing with the right of the army. This affair cost the enemy more than four thousand men.
BOURNONVILLE.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 20.
General Bournonville, on account of the want of discipline in his army, has declared, that all those who were so disorderly as to pillage should be shot without mercy.

Citizen Directois,
I have the honor to send you the bulletin of the army of the 17th Vendemaire, by which you will learn, that the first sortie which Gen. Wurmser at-tempted from Mantua, was not fortunate for him. (Signed) BERTHIER.

BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY.
MILAN, Vendemaire the 17th—Oct. 8.
The enemy's having been greatly disturbed by the fire which was ordered to be set to the haycocks which happened to be between our own posts and the citadel, made a sally with a design of procu-ring fire wood and forage. They marched to Loave by the road leading from the citadel to the country, and attacked the castle of Prada, defended by the chief of battalion Dalons, at the head of 300 men of the 69th demi brigade.—One battalion of the 11th demi-brigade, and one piece of cannon, having arrived to reinforce that post, the enemy were routed and pursued as far as the glacis of the citadel. The republicans took from that detach-ment about 200 prisoners, and killed 15 men and as many horses. On the side of the French, a few men were wounded.
From among the officers who distinguished them-selves, we are to notice citizen Magne, a captain in the 69th demi brigade, who, with a small de-tachment of his demi-brigade, took 117 prisoners. (Signed) BERTHIER.
ARMY OF THE RHINE AND MOSELLE.

Strasburg, Vendemaire 23, Oct. 24.
Citizen Directois,
The general in chief arrived here last night. He crossed the river with the divisions commanded by Gen. St. Cyr, which have forced their way by the valley of Enser, beating the enemy, on which they have obtained very important successes. The Ge-neral is at this moment at Kehl. I shall see him on his return. He has spied and watched the posi-tion of Prince Charles, and intends to return to Friburgh this night. I have received certain infor-mation that gen. Delfaix now occupies the defiles of the mountains; that gen. Feino is in the neighbourhood of the forest-towns, and the gene-ral head quarters are at Hornach, where I am now going. The soldiers are in high spirits, well dis-posed, and in formidable position. (Signed) HAUSSMAN.
FRANCKFORT, October 22.
We learn from Offenburg that general Petrasch intended to obstruct the retreat of general Moreau, through the Black Forest, but was repulsed with loss of men, said to amount to 1500, and of some baggage and artillery. The imperialists, though they fought with the greatest bravery, could not re-sist the superior number of the French. It is not expected that general Moreau will speedily recross the Rhine, as his position at Friburgh is very ad-vantageous, his rear being covered by that river, and both his wings by the fortresses of Strasburg and Hunningen. Meanwhile the archduke Charles is collecting all the dispersed detachments, to pre-vent general Moreau's advancing, and it is therefore very probable that a very decisive battle may hap-pen in the environs of Brisgau. General Moreau has affected his retreat so well by feigned marches, and his frequent attacks on the imperialists, which were always made in mass.
MILAN, October 10.
Extract of a letter of general Buonaparte, to the senate of Bologna, who sent to him the late ma-nifesto of the pope.
The manifesto which you sent to me, is not signed, and I doubt whether it is from the pope or from an enemy of the religion. Woe to them who attract the vengeance of the French nation! Woe to Ravenna, Faenza, and Rimini, which are so much led into error. These cities lay aside the respect which they owe to a victorious army. The reign of seduction will cease, and liberty alone will remain master of part of Italy. The moment is at hand when Italy will shine with honour amongst powerful nations. Lombardy, Bologna, Modena, Reggio, Ferrara, and perhaps Romagna, will, on a future day, be the admiration of Europe. Hurry to take arms! That part of Italy which is now free is rich and populous. Make the enemies of your rights and liberty tremble. I shall not lose you out of sight. The republicans will show the road to victory. Learn from them to vanquish; I shall lead your battalions.
From the (New-York) Daily Advertiser.
Extract of a letter from a respectable Merchant in New-London to his correspondent in this City. "By a vessel arrived here in a short passage from Liverpool, we have London accounts to the 15th Nov. Accounts are different with respect to Lord Malmes-bury's embassy; from his long tarrying at Paris, it is supposed something pacific will take place. The French have been severely beaten by the Archduke; Moreau was obliged to recross the Rhine on the 26th Oct. In the London Gazette he is said to have been greatly harassed in his retreat, and that he lost much of his baggage, cannon, &c. It is said that most of the French generals are tired of liberty and equality, and wish to reign. The news from the army of Italy is, that Wurmser made a sally from Mantua, on the 7th Oct. and routed Buonaparte, with great loss; all his magazines were destroyed, four or five thousand men were killed, and 200 oxen were taken. Other accounts say, Wurmser made another sally about the 17th, and destroyed all their works, and put a great number to the sword; a few more such strokes will oblige the French to abandon Italy."
Remarks on the Above Intelligence.
On the receipt of the above we have made a careful comparison of different accounts in order to reconcile, if possible, the apparent contradiction of a part of them. The first advantage, stated above to have been obtain-ed over general Buonaparte, is said to have taken place on the 7th Oct.—The last advices from this general are on the 8th, in which he states the capture of a small fort from Mantua, and says nothing of defeat. We are also in possession of a letter from Alex. Berthier, the commissioner, of a similar date and purport. The above account therefore if true, must be incorrect, as to date. Under Vienna dates, however, of 19th Oct. given this day, an assertion is made of advantages ob-tained by general Wurmser on the 6th which, in some measure, corroborates the London account. As to the subsequent action on the 17th, the Vienna accounts, of the above date, speak of Gen. D'Alvinzy being order-ed to act in favour of General Wurmser on the 15th. This makes the statement of an action with General Buonaparte having taken place on the 17th consider-ably probable. The action with General Moreau on the Rhine, on the 20th, is also rendered probable by the Frankfort accounts of the 22d, which we also give this day. From a comparison of these different ac-counts, which we have given to assist our readers, they will be enabled to judge for themselves.
STRASBURG, Oct. 6.
Four thousand Austrians have their head-quarters at Germersheim. Detachments from that body are con-stantly making incursions in the country. The inhab-itants in the environs of Lauterburg who had taken up arms, and who had been posted along the banks of the Rhine, have returned their arms and gone to their homes.
Switzerland is arming for the maintaining of their neutrality. We learn by our last letters, that the dis-trict of Zurich have raised 600 men, that Bern has raised five thousand, which are to receive an additional number of five thousand more. At St. Gall they are likewise raising troops to join the above.
Oct. 10.
The Austrians posted near Sunten, made a move-ment, the day before yesterday, which indicated an at-tack on fort Kehl. The affair was limited to only a small discharge of musketry, in which we had six men wounded. The enemy made the greatest efforts to burn the great bridge on the Rhine, but all the neces-sary precautions have been taken to render their pro-jects abortive.
We this day expected to be attacked at Kehl. Yes-terday the Archduke passed before the fortress, direct-ing his march towards the Upper Rhine.—A detach-ment of Austrians must by this time have taken posses-sion of Friburgh. The French garrison consisting of 800 men, having previously evacuated this capital of the Brisgau in order to reinforce the corps which is posted to defend the intrenchments near Huningue.
General Maignot replaces general Scherb, who is now suspended from his functions. The Austrians had required of the district of Lauter-burgh a contribution of four thousand florins, this request not being complied with, they have carried off six hostages among which are four Jews.
Three thousand men of the national guards of Hag-uenau, and of Schelestadt are now organizing and are intended to form a corps partly of horse and partly of foot; this corps is to be commanded by the old gene-rals Frensholtz and Hemstedter. We also expect a considerable reinforcement of troops, which is to ar-rive to morrow.
PARIS, Oct. 19.
In the last secret committee of the Council of Five Hundred, the treaty concluded with the King of Na-ples was approved of.
COLOGNE, Oct. 8.
The movements on the right bank of the Rhine still continue. The vanguard has marched further up the Sieg, not a single shot was exchanged. The Austri-ans have still some detachments on this side of the Sieg, and their patrols go even as far as Portz.
AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Oct. 9.
The army of the Sambre and Meuse and that of the North united, form a corps of 80 thousand men all well disciplined. They are very active in reforming or rather discharging unfit and suspected persons from all the armies.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 11.
On the sixth of Oct. at break of day, the left wing of the army of the Sambre and Meuse with the divi-sions of that of the North, made a grand and general movement in all their positions. A corps of about 20,000 men directed their march towards Mulheim, where they ensconced on that same evening; the pa-trols of light troops of both parties have had several skirmishes in which both have had men killed and wounded.

COMMUNICATION.
The task which is at present imposed on the Jaco-bins by their cruel fate is really to be pitied. They are forced to take the unpopular side, and that costs them some qualms of fear, though none of conscience, for while a thing is merely wrong they care not, if the people will receive it for a time. It has been their art to find out subjects of irritation, and inflame the pas-sions of the citizens as much as possible. The oppo-sition to the excise, to the treaty, &c. &c. are exam-ples. But now the country is clearly and decidedly with the government, and indignant against all the measures of foreign intermeddlers, yet notwithstanding, our Jacobins are obliged to stick to their employ-er. Their faithfulness and their spirit do them credit. They are good swiss, the best of mercenaries. If the assignats should fail, no doubt, they would drop off, for they take the motto, point d'argent, point de Suisse, ou de democrate. And in point of candour it would be wrong to take their services, if they were not well paid for them. To degrade our own country and gov-ernment, and to swear as they do that true liberty and happiness exist only in sight of the guillotine, to tell the people with the Boston Chronicle that their disposi-tion towards France is rebellious, to do and say all these and ten thousand other infamous things is worth a good deal. O Jacobins, great should be your re-ward, for great will be your condemnation.

SWANN'S Riding School, Horse Academy & Infirmary, Adjoining the Public Square, Market Street.
T. SWANN
RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and flatters himself that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, obstinate and dangerous diseases in Horses, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will secure their future favors and recommendation. He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety. His horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the rider; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which providence has so bountifully bestowed on them. Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience. The utility of the above institution has never been questioned; that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's aid will manifest, and T. SWANN as the first establisher of the veterinary art, solicits and relies upon the support of that public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution—the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bill. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respectable gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection. N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed. Nov. 5. tth&f.

CAUTION.
WHEREAS very large and heavy debts are justly due and owing from messrs. Blair M'Clenachan and Patrick Moore, of the city of Philadelphia, merchants, trading under the firm of Blair M'Clenachan and P. Moore , and from Blair M'Clenachan in his separate capacity; to which, by the laws of the land, all the joint as well as separate property of the said Gentlemen, is, and ought to be, liable. And whereas it is clearly and satisfactorily ascertained, that Mr. Blair M'Clenachan , of the said firm, has conveyed away to Mr. John H. Huston , his son-in-law, to his daughter, Miss M'Clenachan , and to his son, George M'Clenachan , several large and valuable real estates, as well as considerable personal property, in the city and county of Philadelphia, in the county of Lancaster, in the county of New-Castle on Delaware, and elsewhere, with a view, as it is apprehended, to defeat the Creditors in the recovery of their just debts. This is, therefore, to forewarn all persons whomsoever, against the purchase from the said grantees, or either of them, of any portion of the said real or personal property, as the most vigorous measures will without delay be taken to render the same liable to the just demands of the Creditors. By order of the Creditors. Thomas Fitzsimons, Philip Nicklin, Isaac Wharton, William M'Murtrie, Samuel W. Fisher, Committee. Philadelphia, December 17th, 1796. 2eth-f
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE caution introduced into the public prints, warning all persons against purchasing from the grantees of Blair M'Clenachan , any portion of the large, real and personal estates he conveyed away to his son-in-law and to his children was the result of a deliberation had upon the subject by a general and numerous meeting of the creditors as well of Blair M'Clenachan individually. It was no more than an execution of that trust confided in the subscribers by those creditors: a step which it would have been a breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted. The very statement of the fact therefore must dispel the imputation that it was either "precipitate or vindictive." It originated in a desire to secure the property of the debtor as a fund for the payment of his just debts. It was sanctioned by the advice of council as a measure necessary to the safety of the creditors. If the advertisement has been injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury to his own unjustifiable conduct, not to the subscribers who have merely published the truth in terms as mild as the fact would admit, and who mean to investigate in a high court of justice the validity of those purchases of which Mr. M'Clenachan so confidently speaks. The subscribers therefore are bound by a sense of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their caution against purchasing of those grantees or either of them, and to extend the terms of it to a purchase from any other persons (if such there be) to whom Mr. M'Clenachan may have made similar conveyances. (Signed) T. FITZSIMONS, P. NICKLIN, ISAAC WHARTON, WILLIAM M'MURTRIE, SAMUEL W. FISHER. Philad. Dec. 21, 1796.

In order to comply with contracts, I will sell, for approved bonds, on 3 equal annual payments, A Square of LOTS, At the upper end of Frederickburg, beginning opposite to the lower corner of Doctor Wolford's, on Caroline-street, and running up to the cross street leading to Fitzhugh's ferry, and from thence back to Sophia-street. This square I have laid off into 24 lots, 27 and an half feet front, and 122 back, 12 on Caroline-street, and 12 on Sophia-street. Nine of those on Caroline-street I have leased on an annual ground rent of 8 and 10 pounds, to the amount of 74 pounds, and the vacant lots a purchaser could enhance the value of by building small houses, which will as readily procure tenants as pots or gardens will Martins in the spring, and yield a greater profit in proportion to their cost than large buildings.

B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these pravings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when completed, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the Scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c, and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are off—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGETT. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells Cooper's Ferry. co
