An abridged description of the subject and scenery.
Tell and his hardy followers return from the MOUNTAINS OF SWITZERLAND, with a dead Stag, and other game, the Tyrant with his fawning crew, having been unsuccessful, claims the produce of their toil—Tell with many resolution prevents the execution of the unjust demand—an altercation ensues, till the Tyrant being wounded by a shaft from Tell the most effectually places a spear in the ground and his cap on the point, orders them to pay obedience—being compelled by superior force, they smother their reluctance, for the present, and obey—during the ceremony, Tell's child springs into the arms of his Father, and en- quiring the nature of the command, pulls off his cap, brandishing it in the air contemptuously, throws it at the Tyrant, his hands tear them apart, and Tell is compelled to the dreadful al- ternative either to be killed on the spot or shoot an apple from his son's head.
At this time Tell's wife enters, and seeing her son in that perilous situation, falls senseless on the ground, the same moment Tell shoots the apple is cleft in twain, and the arrow remains in the tree—Tell's wife revives and they return thanks to heaven for so providential an escape— but the Tyrant's persecution not ended, he makes brutal love to Tell's wife—no longer able to curb his resentment, Tell and his brave companions maintain an obstinate battle—the Tyrant being separated from his guards, Tell has wrenched the sword from his hand, and is about to plunge it in his breast, when the soldiers having over- taken the child on a hill, threaten him with im- mediate death, if Tell does not release the Tyr- ant—the exchange is no sooner made, than the treacherous Tyrant breaks the truce—Tell is beaten, and his wife runs for safety into a
DREARY CAVE,
but is pursued by the tyrant—he disresses, tears and prayers, serve rather to encrease his brutal passion, and swears he'll kill her if she will not comply—she prefers death to dishonor, her arm being lifted for the fatal blow, the child watch- ing from an aperture in the Cave, lets fly an ar- row, which pierces the Tyrant's heart, and he falls lifeless on the ground—a revolution follows and they celebrate their emancipation in the TEMPLE OF LIBERTY.
The whole to conclude by half past ten.
Sales at Auction.
On Saturday the 20th April, at 2 o'clock P. M. on the premises,
Sundry Building and Garden Lots,
Some of them contiguous to, and others at a small distance from the city, containing from about one quarter of an acre to about four a- cres each. The small lots front on Vine and Callowhill Streets, near Schuylkill—the large lots front on the south side of Francis Street, on the east side of Schuylkill river, on the west side of Schuylkill, Second Street, and on interme- diate streets—the whole containing about 140 a- cres, being part of the tract known by the name of Springer'sbury.
The situation of many of the lots is on high ground, commanding views of the Schuylkill, and supposed to be so much detached from the built parts of the city, as to be out of danger in case of an unhappy return of the fever.
Maps showing the division of the ground, may be seen at the Coffee-house, at Ogden's tavern in Chester Street, at Sybert's tavern in the Northern Liberties, and at the Middle and Upper Ferries on Schuylkill.
The abundance of stone, for building, on part of the ground, will prove very advantageous to purchasers, as it is proposed to sell at the same time those large quarries on the east side of the Schuylkill, near and above the bridge.
The terms will be cash for the lots of 49 1-2 and 50 feet front, and for those of a larger size one half cash immediately, and the other half to be paid in six months from the day of sale.

New Philadelphia.
THE proprietors of the high ground in the neighbourhood of this city, known by the name of Springerbury Manor; (bounded on the west by the river Schuylkill, on the east by Fourth street, from Schuylkill, on the north by Francis's lane, and on the south by Callowhill street) have agreed to appropriate it for the purpose of build- ing a new city as a summer retreat.
The plan in two sections may be seen at the Coffee-house. The main street, 100 feet wide, runs nearly east and west along the top of the ridge, striking Schuylkill a little above the up- per ferry, where nature has placed excellent abut- ments, and stone in abundance to form a per- manent bridge of one arch, that cannot be approach- ed by ice or floods.
A street of 66 feet wide, is laid out on each side of, and parallel to the Main street. These are cross- ed by five new streets at right angles, and by the continuation of Front, Second, Third and Fourth streets from Schuylkill.
The situation is high, airy and healthy, and com- mands an extensive prospect. The water is good.
The canal runs obliquely through it. It is just a sufficient distance from the Delaware for a pleasant walk, to give an appetite to dinner after the business of the day is over.
April 3.
To be sold at Public Vendue, On Saturday next the 6th inst. at 3 o'clock in the af- ternoon, on the premises, One hundred and eleven of the highest and best situated Lots in the New Town, Each containing 30 feet front and about 200 deep. The whole is situated on the well side of Fourth Street from Schuylkill, on the high ground opposite Bull's Hill gardens, agreeably to a plan at the Coffee House, and at the old city section Store. To accommodate purchasers, one lot will be put up at a time, and the buyer will have the right to take as many adjoining, as he may think proper, at the same rate. The terms are, one third cash, approved notes at three months for the remainder, when deeds clear of all encumbrances, will be given.

PARIS, January 9.
We hear from Hamburg, that the senate assembled in the end of December, in an ex- traordinary meeting, in consequence of the arrival of a courier from Paris. The French member, Marraggon himself, transmitted to them a note demanding the immediate lib- eration of Napper Tandy, Blackwell, and other Irish officers in the service of France; declaring that in case of refusal, he would be obliged to quit the place. The senate is said, again endeavoured to temporize and citizen Marraggon was preparing for his departure.
January 12.
By a dispatch dated head-quarters, Rome Dec. 19. General Championet announces to the directory, that on the 16th the co- lumn of Gen. Lemoine, which was sent to Aquila, has taken possession of that place after having forced the gates by cannon shot. The fort capitulated on the 17th. The garrison are made prisoners of war.
Forty pieces of cannon, and a great quantity of ammunition are the fruits of this important conquest, which opens to the di- vision of Gen. Lemoine, an easy passage for the entrance of his troops into the kingdom of Naples, and for seconding the operations of the army of Rome, now in full march for the capital of that kingdom.
Chabert, representative of the people, has received a letter from Debelle, general of di- vision, dated head-quarters at Reggio, 10th Nivose, Dec. 30, which contains the follow- ing passages: "Championet is at the gates of Naples: the king has fled and goes to seek an asylum at London: the king of Sar- dinia has returned to a convent. We are a- bout to take possession of Leghorn, which was occupied by the Neapolitans."
Extract of a letter, dated the 5th November, written by Toussaint Louverture to Citizen Pinchebrat, Brother, Raigner, and others, Representatives of the People.
"Would you expect to hear, that when the nomination of General Hedouville to the Government of Saint Domingo, announced that happenings which his great reputa- tion promised to this unfortunate country, he should expose them to the most imminent dangers, from which I have just had the good fortune to preserve them?"
"The copy which I sent to you, of my address to the Directory, will show you how much I am agitated, having the best means of doing good, if he wished it, has disappoint- ed the hopes of the True Friends of Liberty in disgusting a whole people by his im- politic measures, and the arbitrary acts he exercised in the name of the Laws, which were themselves the palladium of which he took the advantage to light up the torch of discord, and bring on a Civil War, which was on the point of breaking out."
"N'twithstanding this, in order to ex- cuse his having shamefully abandoned his post, he writes to you, Citizens Representa- tives, as he had the impudence to proclaim here, that I had separated the Colony from France, that I had introduced the Emigrants and that, with the troops, in the pay of England, I had executed the project of In- dependence which I had long had in view."
"But I trust in the impartiality of the two Councils, and in the justice of the Directo- ry. The storm which thunders over my head does not affright me."
"Invariable in my principles, sincerely at- tached to France and to Liberty, I will continue to sacrifice every moment of my life to assure the prosperity of Saint Do- mingo."

On the expulsion of Lyon.
THURSDAY, February 21.
Mr. Bayard called up, for consideration, the following resolution...
Resolved,
That Matthew Lyon, a member of this house, having been convicted of being a notorious and seditious person...
Resolved,
That the resolution having been read, Mr. B. presented to the house a copy of the record of Lyon's trial...
Mr. Bayard observed,
it would not be necessary to trouble the house with many observations in support of this resolution.
Mr. N. was surprised
at this second prosecution; because, if gentlemen will speak candidly...
Mr. N. wished
the house to attend to the nature of the charges exhibited against the member from Vermont.
The misunderstanding
between the two governments has become extremely alarming; confidence is completely destroyed.
Upon what ground
does the member from Vermont stand? He is a representative of the people...

Mr. N. wished
the house to attend to the nature of the charges exhibited against the member from Vermont.
The misunderstanding
between the two governments has become extremely alarming; confidence is completely destroyed.
Upon what ground
does the member from Vermont stand? He is a representative of the people...
It was clear,
Mr. N. said, that such parts of the counts as went to insinuate facts...
As to the executive, when I shall see the efforts of that power bend on the promotion of the comfort, the happiness, and accommodation of the people...
The two first counts
contain the opinions of the writer on public and notorious acts. No act is charged upon the President and Senate...
It is a man is to be subject
to prosecution for his opinions, what will be the consequence? We are, said Mr. N. sent here to form an opinion...
The third count
is somewhat of a different nature. Mr. N. said, in speaking on this subject, he was not giving his own opinion.
With respect
to the first part of the third count, which speaks of "every consideration of the public welfare being swallowed up in a continual grasp for power."
It was clear,
Mr. N. said, that such parts of the counts as went to insinuate facts...
