I never lost a race but the last I ran at Alexandria, which was owing to my being badly loaded, as I lost all my plates before I got in.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, Nov. 9.
It was generally expected that the late destruction of the French squadrons off the Coast of Egypt and Ireland, would produce a violent explosion in the interior of France...
That no explosion has taken place in the interior, is to be ascribed to a want of energy on the part of the malcontents...
The ridiculous system of notes and counter-notes, has therefore resumed its usual course at the Congress of Rastadt...
It is hoped, however, that these circumstances, which cannot be unknown to the court of Vienna, will induce it to adopt the necessary measures for discounting the Directorial projects.
An alarming riot lately happened at Brest, occasioned by the following circumstance:—The Managers of the last requisition for the Army of England in that district, came to the house of a man who worked in the dock yard there...
As they were proceeding, the father met them on his return from work, and remonstrated, but in vain for the release of his son. This meeting soon drew a large crowd together...
Since the banishment of Carnot, the French affairs have been going backwards; and yet this man, to whom the Republic owes so much, is now a fugitive and a vagabond on the face of the earth...
Lewins, the ambassador of the United Irishmen at Paris, it seems, is taken among others on board the Hoeke. This gentleman probably will find that he wants one great quality of Ambassadors, inviolability.
The golden anchor, now worn by the ladies, and suspended from the neck by a chain on the bosom, must be considered as a very encouraging compliment to the unexampled gallantry of our naval defenders.
The "establishment" of Buonaparte in Egypt, as he modestly observes in his letter to the Directory, reminds one of the pleasant origin of the phrase—"catching a Tartar."
In one of the wars between Austria and the Porte, an Irish soldier in the service of the former, in the attack of a squadron of confederate Tartars, exclaimed—"By Jove! I've caught a Tartar!"
The generals Buonaparte and Holt seem readily to have acquired the same Hibernian demonstrative logic.
If the enemy's squadrons do venture out, it must be confessed that they do not run much hazard of the perils of the sea. They seldom remain long out of port!
The army of Egypt has subsisted for 17 days on lemons and water-melons alone, which seem to be the happiest fruits of Buonaparte's expedition.
Sir William Scott, the new judge, is to have his salary increased to nearly the amount of what a Pufine judge receives in the other courts.
It is a memorable fact, that the French have lost within the last two months, 50,000 soldiers and sailors, near 300 transports, 14 men of war, 14 frigates, and a considerable number of smaller armed vessels...
Sir James Marriott has resigned his seat at the admiralty court. Sir William Scott succeeded him.
A late address of the French Proconsul at Rome, on the removal of the five Directors, concludes with these emphatical words, "The Great Nation wills it, and its will must be obeyed."
The French Directory denounces all governments that are friendly to the English, not forgetting Divine Providence itself.
An Apian Society, for encouraging the increase of Bees, is established at Exeter; and they have offered premiums for the best method of uniting swarms...
Mr. Turquand, first lieutenant of the Canada, is promoted to the rank of Master and Commander. We have understood that he is among the best officers in his majesty service.
The Peshwa has lately transmitted to the Directors of the East India Company, two chests, containing a variety of jewellery, forming a complete collection of the ornaments appertaining to the Indian dress.
The Public are highly indebted to Sir J. B. Warren for breaking through the etiquette which is always observed on similar occasions...
Among the British Officers who are going to Turkey, for the purpose of organizing the Ottoman Army, is Captain Franklin, son of the late Dr. Franklin, translator of Sophocles.
PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 25.
The French Admiral Sercey, who commands in the Indian Seas, has, according to accounts from Colombo, augmented his squadron from five to nine ships of war...
A Russian ship of 74 guns, on her passage from the Baltic to join the North Sea fleet, has been lost on the Norwegian coast; the crew were saved.
The capture of the Waakzaamhey and Furie frigates by the Sirius, has excited great sensation throughout the Batavian Republic.
An Amsterdam paper of the 13th states, Citizen Bergheys, in two gun-boats, mounting two guns each, to have beaten off an English cutter of twelve guns.
DUBLIN, November 1.
Letters from Rathangan, relate an outrage committed near that place, scarcely paralleled even in the atrocities of the present rebellion: The house of a respectable clergyman in that neighborhood was broken into on Tuesday night last...
On Saturday night last the house of Thomas Fisher, Esq. near Donard (County of Wicklow) was attacked by a large gang of rebels...
Last Monday night three private soldiers of the Worcester militia, quartered in a house between Mullingar and Port Lemon, were murdered in their beds with shocking aggravations of wanton cruelty...
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 22. By the intelligence received here from Egypt, something decisive must soon take place on the banks of the Nile.
Bonaparte was still at Cairo, and his army was advantageously encamped on the neighbouring heights, which were surrounded by a numerous body of Arabs and Mamelukes.
The French army suffers particularly from the want of medicines. Hitherto Buonaparte has received supplies by the Nile. These, however, will soon be cut off...
A number of Russian vessels with stores, &c. have passed through the Channel, and many more are expected.
Letters from Leghorn, dated 29th October, received this day, state that one of the Tuscan ships which had been pressed from Civita Vecchia, to carry French troops, has returned from Alexandria.

[Columbian Centinel.]
New-York, February 21.
We are indebted to Capt. Waddle, of the brig Apollo, from Cadiz, which place he left the 31st of December last, for the following sketch.
Lord St. Vincent's fleet had disappeared off Cadiz some time previous to her failing, in consequence of which seven sail of Spanish ships of war, with several regiments of troops, and a French frigate, which had been laying two years in that port, availed themselves of the opportunity and proceeded to sea.
The English fleet were seen from the Spanish towers to enter the Straights. They were supposed from the badness of the weather to be going to Gibraltar to rendezvous, from whence, in a short time they would return to their former station.
There were several small French privateer boats in the harbour of Cadiz. The fear of being taken by the English cruizers prevented their molesting the outward bound American vessels, from that port, but they still continue their depredations from the neighbouring Spanish ports, Algeciras, Ceuta, &c.
About 5 leagues from Cadiz, captain Waddle lay two 74's laying too.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday February 21. The speaker laid before the house a letter from the philosophical society of this city inviting the speaker and members to attend an oration by Dr. Barton, on Saturday.
Mr. Goodrich from the committee to whom was referred the several petitions which have been presented during the session for the repeal of the alien and sedition laws, made a long report on this subject, showing the constitutionality of these laws, and the propriety of continuing them in force.
Mr. Nicholas from the committee to whom was referred the resolution proposing an edition of the constitution as amended, with instructions to enquire how far the law for the more effectual promulgation of the laws had been carried into effect, made a report, which was committed and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Pinckney from the committee appointed to consider whether any and what amendments are necessary in the law for the relief of sick and disabled seamen, reported a bill to amend the present law, which was committed.
Mr. Gallatin from the committee appointed to consider what alterations are necessary in the law appropriating lands for military services, reported a bill to amend this law, which was committed.
Mr. Gallatin presented a petition from 755 inhabitants of the county of Chester, and another from 73 inhabitants of Washington county, both in the state of Pennsylvania, praying for a repeal of the alien and sedition laws.
Mr. Brown presented petitions and remonstrances of the same nature, from 1940 inhabitants of Montgomery county, and from 1100 inhabitants of Northampton county, both in the state of Pennsylvania.
Mr. McLenachan presented a petition of the same kind, from 587 inhabitants of the Northern Liberties of this city.
These petitions were referred to the committee of the whole to whom was this morning referred the report of a select committee on this subject.
On motion of Mr. Josiah Parker, the house took up the amendments of the senate to the bill authorizing the purchase of timber for naval purposes. The amendments proposed to strike out the appropriation of 100,000 dollars, and to insert 200,000 dollars in its place, authorizing also the money to be laid out on land upon which timber is growing, as well as upon timber.
After some debate, in which these amendments were supported by Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Pinckney, and opposed by Messrs. Ni-
cholas, J. Williams, Gallatin and Mr. Dowell, the amendments were concurred in to 37.
Mr. D. Foller, from the committee of claims, made a favorable report on the petition of John Vaughan, respecting losses sustained by him in a re-coinage of silver at the mint, which was committed.
Mr. S. Smith, from the committee of commerce; reported a bill for the relief of Thomas Arnold, and a bill to authorize the erection of a beacon on Boon Island, which were committed.
On motion of Mr. Harper, the house went into a committee of the whole on the bill to grant additional compensation for the year 1799, to certain officers of the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, and the bill having been agreed to, the committee rose, and it was ordered to be engrossed.
Mr. Varnum laid a resolution upon the table to the following effect:
"Resolved, That the President of the United States be authorized and empowered to call upon the Executive of the several states to take effectual measures, as soon as may be, to organize and hold in readiness to march, on the shortest notice, 80,000 militia, including officers, to be apportioned according to the number of white male inhabitants in each state respectively; which detachment of militia shall be officered out of the present militia officers."
Mr. V. said, that at the extraordinary session, a law was passed, directing 80,000 militia, to be held in readiness, which law expires at the close of the present session. These 80,000 men, Mr. V. said, had been the only effective force of any consequence, which we have possessed during that time; for though laws have been passed for augmenting our army, the object has not been effected; and as he had great confidence in the defence of the militia of the country, he should wish this number of men to be held in readiness, until our disputes with France are completely settled. He should not think it safe, in our present situation, to relinquish this force. Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Harper proposed a resolution authorizing the clerk to employ additional engrossing clerks during the remainder of the session, which was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Harper, the house went into a committee of the whole on the bill making appropriations for the support of government for the year 1799; and, after going through the same, the house took up the amendments and agreed to them. The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
The house then took up the amendments of the Senate to the bill respecting quarantines and health-laws, which were concurred in. They provided that the Judge of any District Court, in case of any contagious sickness, which may endanger the lives of persons confined in prison, to direct the marshal to remove the prisoners to the next adjacent prison, where such disease does not prevail; that in case of such disease prevailing at the seat of government, it shall be lawful for the President to permit and direct the removal of any or all the public offices, to such other place or places, as, in his discretion, shall be deemed most safe and convenient for conducting the public business; and also a power to Judges to adjourn any Court which may be held in any place where contagion exists, to a place of safety.
On motion of Mr. Harper, the house went into committees of the whole on the two following bills, which were agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow, viz.
A bill allowing James Mathers a compensation for services done to the United States, and for expenses attending the same; and
A bill making appropriations for defraying the expenses which may arise in carrying into effect certain treaties between the United States and several tribes or nations of Indians.

And whereas, it is declared by the said Act that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on Imports and Ton- nage beyond the permanent appropriations here- tofore charged upon them by law, shall bepled- ged and appropriated for paying the interest, and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed, according to the term or terms which may be fixed, pursuant to the authority afore- said—And whereas by the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to establish sufficient permanent Revenues for making up any deficien- cy that may hereafter appear in the provision before-mentioned for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, or any mon- ies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act. And whereas the President of the United States did by an Act or Commission under his hand dated the ninth day of January in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine, au- thorise and empower, the Secretary of the Trea- sury, to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole, five mil- lions of dollars and to make such contract or contracts as should be necessary, and for the in- terest of the United States, in pursuance of the Act of Congress above recited.

The sums subscribed and paid in pursu- ance of the tenor of the second article preced- ing, shall after the said payments have been completed, constitute a funded capital stock divisible into shares of one hundred dollars each, which capital stock shall bear interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum from the time fixed for the payment of the respective install- ments payable quarterly yearly at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the same may stand credited, until the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eight. 7th. After the last day of December in the said year one thousand eight hundred and eight, and after reasonable notice to the creditors, which shall be given by an advertisement in some public news- paper, printed at the seat of the government of the United States, the said capital stock shall be re- deemable at the pleasure of the United States by the reimbursement of the whole sum or sums borrowed, and which may constitute the said capital stock either at the treasury of the United States or at the loan offices where the same may stand credited. 8th. The credits for the said capital stock shall and may be separately certified in sums either for one hundred, four hundred, one thousand, four thousand or ten thousand dollars, and the credits so certified shall be transferable by the creditors or their attorneys, at the Treasury and Loan Offices respectively, in pursuance of the rules which have been, or which may be established relative to the transfer of the funded stock of the United States. 9th.
