HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE: DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAD AND MÆVIAD. BY WILLIAM GIBBON, ESQUIRE. To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman. [In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any ever published in America. This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle, which is prefixed to it is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to appreciate, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Several Copies have been sent on to Mr. Samson, Maiden-Lane, New-York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Boston and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] May 28 $

Late Foreign Articles
LONDON, May 1. The Somerset Provisional cavalry have volunteered to extend their services to Ireland.
Richard Cooper, Esq. Broadwater, has paid his fine of 400l. and 20 marks in the chamber of London, to be exempted from serving the office of Sheriff. This is the fourth gentleman who has paid the like fine to be exempted from serving the office of Sheriff.
Such been the severity of the winter on the Continent, that at Riga, in Livonia, (which is the same latitude as Aberdeen in Scotland) there had not been an hour of thaw from the 1st of November to the 3d of April. In January and February, the thermometer fluctuated between 45 and 65 degrees of frost by Fahrenheit's scale. In the latter half of March, the frost had been from 20 to 40 degrees; and on the 3d April, when the account came away, they had not less than 10 degrees of frost.
According to accounts from Russia, the exports from Petersburg last year, amounted to 36,005,193 rubles, or about 8 millions sterling; and the imports to only 26,175,007 rubles, or somewhat less than six millions; leaving a balance of 2,000,000 sterl. in favour of Russia.
Major General Nixon, who came passenger in the Sphinx from the Cape, has brought here an address to the King, from the Company's servants at Madras, accompanied with a donation of 70,000l. sterling, in part of the voluntary contributions raised in that settlement for the prosecution of the war.
We have received letters by the Sphinx from the Cape, dated in January, by which it appears that the troops at the settlement were then constantly on duty. Advice had been communicated from the Governor of St. Helena, by the Gorgona packet, that two French squadrons had been observed by the Alveres, of Goa, the one consisting of three large ships and two small ones, in latitude 11, south, steering to the eastward; and the other of two large ships, having a convoy, in nearly the same latitude. The Alveres continued in sight of them for some days, and observed that they repeatedly threw out their signals, which they often enforced with a gun. It was supposed at the Cape, that these squadrons would form a junction and look into Table Bay; or that they meditated an attack. In either of which cases, the government of the Cape had ordered the British ships there to moor further in, under cover of the fort. From the fine condition of the troops at the Cape, and the great additions to the fortifications, little alarm was excited by the above communication. Captain Lockhart, of his Majesty's ship Jupiter, at the Cape, had ordered a sloop of observation to cruise to the eastward, and give information of the course of the French squadron. We further learn, that the Dutch planters had been ordered to supply Cape Town with the produce of the interior, which was at first withheld, but they had been obliged to comply with the demand of the Governor, in consequence of a peremptory requisition, and they are allowed a fair price for all the articles they bring down, which are in great abundance. The incendiaries who attempted to burn the King's warehouses at the Cape, had not been discovered, altho' a reward of 2000 dollars was offered for their apprehension.
Several ships have obtained licenses to proceed to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope, on the southern Whale fishery. A number of gentlemen at St. Helena had it in contemplation to establish a depot there, for the purpose of preparing the oil, instead of manufacturing it in this country, which it is thought will be a saving to the owners.
Lords William and Frederick Bentinck, accompanied by colonel Clinton, left town yesterday morning for Yarmouth, to embark for Vienna.
The Grand Duke Constantine, second son of the Emperor of Russia, will go to Italy as a volunteer. He arrived at Vienna, on his way thither, on the 10th inst.
The Emperor of Germany has declared, that every Austrian soldier, who, being made prisoner, shall establish himself in France, shall be treated as a deserter, and have his property confiscated.
We learn by letters from Vienna that prince Charles has adopted the most rigorous measures to preserve his troops in an exact state of discipline. Among the late orders which he has issued, is one which enjoins, on pain of death, all Generals and Officers intrusted with commands, to remain constantly, during the time of action, at the head of their troops.
By accounts from Elsinew, dated the 16th ult. it appears that the Sound was then clear of ice. On the preceding day, the first vessel for the season from the North Sea appeared in Hornbeck Bay. Several foreign vessels, bound to the Baltic, which wintered in Neva harbour, will proceed by the first fair wind.
One of the ships lately arrived from the East Indies, was, in consequence of the alteration in her destination and detention in India, incurred an expence to the owners, in the course of 24 months, to the amount of 14,000l. sterling.
CONSTANTINOPLE, February 22
French Army of Observation.
Bernadotte, General in Chief, to the people of Germany.
Germans! It is in the destinies of the world the French government has a right to claim the commencement of the Grand Movement which crowns the termination of the 18th century, gratitude reminds us that the honor of the Light by which the end of the 16th was illuminated, belongs to you!!!
Germans! Freemen! we are your brethren; we wear it by our arms, we do not come to derange this holy brotherhood, but on the
contrary to confirm our connections, and cement their existence by the defeat of their common foe, the House of Austria!!!
Since the time of Rudolph of Hapsburg, worthy head of this detestable family, rebelled against the Empire, what numerous attempts have been made to render the Empire hereditary!!!
Germans! can you doubt the existence of this Austrian party, so fertile in reasons to prove the advantage of uniting all Germany under the Austrian yoke!!!
Such however, is the fate that menaces your existence. The cause for which we are ready to contend on your soil is common to us all, but more interesting still to Europe. It is undoubtedly horrid to be the continual prey of war, and your country is still the theatre of the misfortunes it occasions; but Germans! whenever the blood of man is about to be shed on your territories, the cause of Austria is invariably the cause of it!!!
When victory had placed in our hands the means of annihilating this treacherous family, we generously renounced the glory of establishing the true equilibrium of Europe, and had the magnanimity to believe its inalienable ambition would be gratified by concession. Yet so many sacrifices have not yet restored peace to the world.!!!
Tyrants and their counsellors have mistaken our patience for sleep; but people who have acquired liberty never sleep, nor never die!
Germany! the hostilities this day recommenced are purely defensive! You will no longer misconceive the odious machiavellism of Austria. Dextrous to involve you in her broils, she wishes to turn a war interesting only to herself, into a war involving the whole Empire in order to raise herself on your ruins.
You will perceive how she directs the monstrous alliance she has formed with England to your prejudice—that England which sees but does not feel the disturbances of the continent and, which with Russia, is labouring to reduce civilized Europe to Asiatic Barbarism.
Germans! The support of religion, your preservation, your liberty the independence of your individual governments, which are our friends, necessarily lead you to unite with us, to drive this abominable horde of conspirators from their lurking holes.
Your property shall sacredly be respected. The laws of the Republic unite with the weapons of death whoever violates the asylum of the peaceable inhabitant. These laws shall be religiously executed.
Rise then Germans! rise with us! War to Austria! war to the barbarians of the north who wish to inundate your territory with blood!!!
BERNADOTTE. The above wonderful production is translated from the Journal de Paris of the 2d April.
BOSTON, June 22.
Further European Accounts
Have been received since our last. The allied arms continue to be Fortune's favorites. The siege of Mantua has commenced; and the Russian column under Gen. Suwarrows arrived at head quarters at Verona, on the 13th of April. This arrival does not furnish any thing decisive respecting the Breisf. fleet except that it was positively at sea; and that the British commander had ascertained its force; but were ignorant of its destination. Our accounts via Halifax, are as late as those from Europe. A letter from Portsmouth, England, of May 3, says, "It is reported the French fleet are put to L'Orient, and that the Cæsar was the only British ship which came near them, and has been severely handled."
In Ireland we perceive no remnants of the rebellion. A sense of common danger appears to have united all parties. The Lord Lieutenant, by an order, May 5th, commanded all the corps of yeomanry, on permanent duty.
The Congress at Rastadt, continued sitting. Notwithstanding the attacks made by the French armies on all the Austrian corps, the French Plenipotentiaries, on the 9th April, in a note addressed to Count Metternich, the Emperor's Plenipotentiary, say, "Multiplied acts attest the ardour and SINCERITY of the wishes, the EFFORTS, and the SACRIFICES made by the Directory for a prompt and solid peace."—Do these maniacs think their words can have much influence in the world, as to hide their actions?—or do they think they have ideas to deal with?—Such effrontery can only be equalled by the skill, which is conspicuous in all their management; and the apathy with which the Directory hears of the effect of the French piracy in the United States. After such hostile conduct, and such pacific language, the people of the United States must know how to appreciate French professions of amity. "The fool calleth firebrands arrows and death, and faith, am I not in sport?" [Centinel]
OF SURINAM.
The leaven of French "diplomatic skill" is working at Surinam. We have received letters on the subject, which are in the hands of the translator. If the United States, or Great Britain, does not take that colony under its protection, it will in a short time become a French fief; and the whole valuable trade thereof be lost to us.
Orders has been given by the French Directory, to arrest the celebrated Barrere. He resided at Bourdeaux; but has escaped.
The Hon. Thomas Barclay Esq. his Britannic Majesty's Consul General for the Eastern States, has arrived at New-York.
Lt. Gov. Charlton, of New Brunswick, has subscribed to the voluntary contributions for carrying on the war, Five Hundred Pounds, per annum.
CONTINUATION OF Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, May 8.
We are not yet enabled to communicate to our readers any satisfactory intelligence from Lord Bridport. A squadron failed from Plymouth on Monday for the westward, consisting of the Queen Charlotte, of 110 guns, four other ships of the line, and two frigates.
We yesterday communicated to our readers the most important extracts from the French Journals to the 4th inst. which we received yesterday morning. A subsequent arrival of Paris papers to the same date, put us in possession of a more perfect list of the French fleet which failed from Brest, and of other articles which are to be found in our subsequent columns. The Publiciste of the 2d inst. asserts that General Kilmaine, who was laid in some of the papers to command the troops intended to serve on shore, was ill at Paris.
We have received by the French Journals more recent intelligence from Germany Switzerland and Italy, than the last mail brought. Things on the 24th ult. were in nearly the same state on the banks of the Rhine, from Strasburgh to Schaffhausen, as on the 17th. We see from a letter written to the Directory on the 26th ult. by Gen. Massena, that there had been at that time no serious attack on either side, from the source of the Rhine to Schaffhausen. According to a general's letter, it appears that the Austrians had not remained in the same state of inactivity on the frontiers of Tyrol, but that on the 22d they had attacked the principal posts held by the French in the Lower Engadine. The republicans arrogate to themselves the advantage in the conclusion of this affair, in which they say that they made 800 prisoners. It appears, in fact, to have been of little importance; and from the manner in which the French describe it, we are disposed to believe that it has rather been advantageous to the Austrians than to the French.
If we are to credit the accounts published at Paris respecting the operations of the war in Italy, the junction of the Russians with the Austrians far from enabling the latter to pursue their success, has rather put a period to it; and General Moreau has driven them back beyond the Adige, after having defeated them at Pizzolitone, and taken 5000 prisoners. It is scarcely necessary for us to make any remarks on the probability of this fact; we will venture to assert, that it is false in all its circumstances. What appears to us least improbable, but which, however, we do not consider as certain, is, that the head-quarters of the French had been transferred from Lodi to Brescia, and were at the latter place on the 21st April. This movement forward would prove that the French army must have been reinforced by troops from Piedmont, or from Switzerland. It appears certain, as the intelligence brought by the Hamburg mail of Sunday last led us to believe, that the Directory have ordered the kingdom of Naples and the state of the church to be evacuated; and the brilliant successes gained by the Austrians in the two first weeks of the opening of the campaign, have been sufficient for the attainment of one of the principal objects of the war, that of delivering the whole of the south of Italy from the presence of the French.—The Swiss even, according to the acknowledgment of the Paris papers, are attempting to prepare the way for their deliverance. The inhabitants of the Cantons of Uri and of Glarus have taken up arms, and a still more serious insurrection appears to have broken out in the Vallais.
The lingering fate of the Congress of Rastadt, is at length decided; the republican ministers were to quit that city on the 28th ult. as they announced three days before in a note addressed to the deputation of the empire.
The debates of the council contain nothing interesting, excepting the determination as to the fate of the emigrants ship-wrecked at Calais, in 1795. They are to be detained in prison until a peace, and are afterwards to be banished. The army of Buonaparte is said in the French papers to have taken possession of St. John d'Acre.
The Hamburg mail which became due this morning, arrived in course.
The Vienna Court Gazette of the 24th ult. contains an article which states that Buonaparte had succeeded in tranquilizing Egypt; and from this, and an article from Constantinople, of the 3d ult. it appears that he had been very successful, and had penetrated into Syria.
An army of 30,000 men under Ghezzar Pacha is stated, in the article from Constantinople, to have been defeated by the French General; and great apprehensions were entertained that he would make himself master of Damascus, Jerusalem, and all Syria.
The Archduke Charles is stated, in the Vienna article of the 24th, and in that from Stockati, to be recovered from his illness.
May 9.
No further intelligence from the Fleet under Lord Bridport had reached Town when this Paper went to Press.
The Pope (Pius VI.) departed this life on the 19th of April, in the Citadel of Turin, on his way to Briançon, in the Mountains of Dauphiny, the place appointed for his exile. His infirmities would not permit him to bear the shaking of a carriage, for which reason he was carried in a litter.
Hamburg, May 1.
Constance is not taken, and the Austrians dare not, or to speak with more precision, are not in sufficient strength to make any serious attack upon Switzerland. The longer the delay, the more Massena is mortified himself there, and the greater additions does the Directory make to his Army, of all the Troops that they are able, on this side of the Loire. The reinforcements which the Archduke re-
ceives are not in the same proportion, which makes me apprehensive, as I have already said, that this prince may meet with great obstacles, and that he will put off the execution of his designs upon that Country until the Directory, in order to preserve Sherer, shall oblige Massena to send him 30,000 chosen men.
This period cannot be far distant, for Mantua, is already surrounded, and the French are retiring behind the Oglio. Their Head-quarters are, it is said, at Lodi, and those of the Austrians at Goito, on the Mincio. The Garrison of Mantua is composed of 20,000 Men, consisting of French, Cisalpines, Piedmontese, and Poles. Since the 5th, there has been nothing but feeble engagements of advanced posts. General Klenau continues to make progress into the Duchy of Ferrara, and to increase his Army by a great number of Insurgents who flock to join his Standards. The Inhabitants of the Territory of Mantua, the Brescians, the Bergamasco, and the Cremonese, in general testify the most favourable dispositions towards the Austrians: they call upon them with loud cries, fly towards them as soon as they appear, and begin already to break out into Insurrections, at several points. Letters from Italy assure us, that General Macdonald is evacuating the Kingdom of Naples with the greatest speed, in order to avoid being placed between two fires: and, in fact, he has no great time left for saving the wreck of his Army, which is now reduced to 15,000 Men, as very numerous bodies of Insurgents are collecting between Naples and Rome, and they have already taken possession of several important posts.
It is not possible, to know exactly what is passing in the interior of Switzerland; commotions certainly prevail there, but the French give themselves little uneasiness on that account, owing to their force. The little town of Eglisan, between Schaffhausen and Waldshut, has also been taken possession of by the Austrians for that the Rhine is now the limits of the two armies. On the 16th, the Enemy again made a fruitless attack between Bregenz and Feldkirch.
The army is increased in Holland by 10,000 Men, and a National Guard of 31,000 Men, had been formed.
Paris, April 27.
A division of the Helvetic army has passed Mount Saint. Gothart, to proceed to Italy, and reinforce the French Army. It will be replaced in Switzerland by a division from the interior of France.
April 18.
We are assured that the whole of the Embassy from Spain to Vienna has departed from that city, and will soon arrive at Paris, and that the Duke d'Ossun will not fulfil his mission to the Emperor.
Citizen Julien, Counsellor of War, and Secretary General of the provisional Government of Naples, has been arrested in that city.
The garrison of Mantua consists of ten thousand men. It has provision for thirteen months at least.
April 29.
General Jourdan is appointed Inspector of the Army of England.
Buonaparte has taken the city of Acre, the residence of the Pacha, who promised the Grand Seigneur to annihilate our Army in Egypt. This news was brought to Toulon by a vessel which came in 25 days from Alexandria.
April 30.
A letter from Turin, dated the 20th April, brings the following intelligence. "We are assured General Moreau has resumed part of the position which he was obliged to abandon in the last engagements; that he has made five thousand Austrian prisoners; and that General Gauthier has also, on his side, beaten and repulsed the enemy."
We have received a letter from Basle, dated the 6th inst. in the following terms: General Macdonald has had advice by an extraordinary courier from Italy, that there is now under the provisional command of Gen. Moreau, has beaten the enemy at Pizzolitone, and compelled them to repass the Adige, and raise the blockade of Mantua. Our army has resumed its former position.
General Massena has removed his headquarters to Zurich.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
Massena, General in Chief, to the Executive Directory of the French Republic.
Head quarters at Zurich, the 7th Floreal (April 26.)
Citizens Directors,
I received in my way from Basle to Zurich an extraordinary dispatch from General Lecourbe, by which he informs of the right wing of the army of Helvetia; I hasten to transmit you the details of it.
On the 3d Floreal (22d April) I attacked the principal positions of the enemy with a superior force. They directed their attacks against Manoffa and Remus.
At the first attack they repulsed our troops and got possession of the village of Remus. But the second battalion of the 44th demi-brigade, headed by Sodeney, its chief of brigade, marched boldly against the enemy, and drove them back to the mountains from whence they had descended, after having beat them in the village.
While this was passing, the first battalion of the same demi-brigade beat and repulsed the enemy at Schillins and Pernat-Martin, where their attacks were as fruitless as against the rest of the line.
During this day we made 800 prisoners, among which were a Major, six captains, six lieutenants, and five ensigns. Their loss in killed and wounded amounted to more than 400 men.
General Lecourbe, in making particular mention of the 44th demi-brigade, also renders justice to all the troops engaged in this action. He particularly praises his artillery.
(Signed) MASSENA.
May 2.
On the 21st of April, the head quarters of the army of Italy were advanced to Brescia.
The Austrians remained in their former position, where they expected, like ourselves fresh reinforcements.
Letters from Coire, of the 17th of April, confidentially assert, that the French were still at that date in possession of all the military positions in the country of the Grison.
Vienna, April 24.
A letter from Marshal Suwarrows, dated Veliggio, April 18, states, that the French had re-passed the Adda, after throwing fifteen thousand men into Mantua, and five thousand into Peschiera; and that the marshal was preparing to follow them, after leaving General Kray with a corps of about twenty thousand men to invest those two places. Marshal Suwarrows's patrols had been punished as far as Cremona, and Gen. Klenau's to the neighborhood of Bologna, without meeting any considerable body of the enemy.
By accounts received in the evening of the same day, it appears that the enemy were employed in throwing up entrenchments at Lodi and Cassano. Marshal Suwarrows, with a body of between forty-five and fifty thousand men, was to have marched on the 19th to Montechiaro, on the Chiesio, in order to occupy Brescia, and then to advance on the Oglio and Adda.
His Royal Highness the Archduke Charles has reported the following particulars relative to the taking of Schaffhausen:
As the enemy still retained possession of the town of Schaffhausen and the suburbs of Constance, called Peterhausen, both situated on the Right Bank of the Rhine, with an apparent view to assemble there, and particularly in Schaffhausen, a number of troops and to make an advantageous attack from both points upon the corps of Lieutenant General Count Nauendorff, which was posted in the neighborhood, his royal highness directed that the enemy should be driven from those two points, and that their stations should be occupied by our troops.
In consequence of this arrangement, Lieutenant General Count Nauendorff was charged to order Lieutenant General Count Baillet to advance against Schaffhausen with a considerable body of Light Infantry and Cavalry, supported by four battalions of the line and some reserve artillery. He obeyed these orders, and summoned the enemy to abandon the town in the course of half an hour, and to retire to the left bank of the river. The officer who commanded in Schaffhausen fought to gain time by negotiation, with a view to draw unto himself a reinforcement; but Lieutenant General Count Baillet, aware of the enemy's object, ordered his artillery, which he had posted to great advantage, to fire upon the bridge and the gate of the town, and without further delay he attacked the enemy in the town; and notwithstanding a very obstinate resistance, he drove them across the Rhine, the bridge over which they burnt in their retreat.
The enemy lost upon this occasion several hundred men killed and wounded, and one hundred taken prisoners; seventeen pieces of cannon, and arms of various descriptions were taken. Our loss does not exceed twenty men.
Lieutenant General Count Baillet particularizes the spirited conduct of a private of the regiment of Lacy, who voluntarily swam across the Rhine, and, under the protection of our fire, loosed two vessels which were on the Left Bank, and got back with them as far as the middle of the river, where, however, the current drove him against the burning bridge, which set fire to the two vessels. This circumstance obliged the man to dive and to swim back to the Right Bank. His example encouraged another: both plunged into the Rhine and brought over some vessels; the consequence of which was, that fifteen or eighteen more men, of the regiment of Lacy, followed the others, and got possession of many more vessels. His royal highness, as a reward for so meritorious a zeal, and as an encouragement to others, gave the first man the golden medal, and the second the silver medal.
On the 14th, at daybreak, Major Gen. Pinizeck made an attack upon Petershausen with great spirit and decision, drove the enemy from it, and sunk the ships which were on the opposite bank.
The detachment which was sent through Pforzheim and Bruckfal, towards Philippsburg, on the same day that it had established the communication with that fortress, had pushed on patrols towards Mannheim.
At the same time Lieutenant General the Rhinegraf of Salm, commandant of Philippsburg, reported that a part of the inconsiderable detachment of the dragoons of Bamberg, which formed a part of the garrison, had pushed forward through Waghäusel, and had taken four French chasseurs with their horses. The Rhinegraf took this opportunity of commending the conduct of the above detachment, as well as the remainder of the garrison during its blockade.
Basle, April 22.
A report is spread that the Austrians attempted the passage of the Rhine at Luzzach, but that they were driven back with loss.
Strasburgh, April 22.
There are continually combats between our troops and the Austrians; but the latter, though superior in number, do not gain ground; they are repulsed at every attack with considerable loss. Since the day before yesterday there has been an affair of consequence. The Austrians occupy the position of Lichtenau at Ruhl, of Openau, Gengenbach, and Waldkirch. Our troops are placed from Scheidegg to Acherne, Rener Gvorkirch, Appenweier, Lahr and Offenburg.
The army of Prince Charles remains quiet. It is believed that the new plan for the campaign has not yet arrived from the Aulic council of War, and it is to this circumstance their tardy operations are to be attributed; but the plan will, perhaps, be frustrated before its arrival, by general Massena.

whose army already reinforced one third, will be soon in a condition to become more offensive. The village of Cappel, where near 400 French soldiers have been annihilated by the inhabitants and country people in its environs has been burnt. April 24. We know nothing of the army of Prince Charles. We believe that his head-quarters are still at Engen, near Stockach. It is now doubted whether he means to attack with great force on the side of Switzerland. It seems that, content with having drawn the French forces there, he carries the great body of his army into the Tyrol.
Rastadt, April 20. The French ministers yesterday received notifications, which enjoined them to retire to Strasburgh, and invite such members as desired to make a separate peace on the part of their sovereigns, to follow them to conclude the same at Strasburgh. They will set out the 4th of this month. The private communication and secret conferences between the French and Prussian ministers are not less frequent than heretofore; but we are entirely ignorant of their object.
April 26. The last note of the French plenipotentiaries on their taking leave, concludes, after a statement of grievances, with the following expressions: "Finally, it is in consequence of what has been just stated, that the undersigned inform the deputation of the empire they will depart from Rastadt in three days: but declarations to give to Germany a last and final testimony of the patience and desire of the French government for peace, they declare they shall retire into the commune of Strasburgh, in order to wait there for the renewal of negotiations, and to attend to the propositions of peace which may be made to them."
"BONNIER, JEAN DEBRAY, ROBERTJOT." London, May 7. An extraordinary apprehension is said to have been expressed by the cabinet of Vienna, that the Russians, savage as their climate, and devoid of discipline, had already infected the Austrian army, and created as much alarm through the territory they were called upon to save, as had recently been excited by the invader. The accounts add, that the Emperor had not only refused to become a party in the defensive treaty concluded between Britain, Russia and the Porte to which he had been invited to accede, but had even made overtures to the directory to conclude a separate and immediate peace. It is not for us to advocate all the measures of the Austrian, or of any other cabinet; but at the moment that Austria, by the exercise of her utmost means, shakes to its very base the Colossal Tyrant of Europe, it is hardly creditable to accuse her of duplicity, and to support her charge by traducing the character of the Russians. We trust that the alleged effect will be found fallacious as the stated cause of it; and that the Emperor will preserve all the glory that has and shall be purchased by the exalted valour of his armies. The creatures of party so often sacrifice their veracity to evince their zeal, that conjecture is often lost upon a simple fact, from the contrariety of statements, until credulity is worn out by reiterated attacks, and even truth is received with distrust and apprehension.
The attention paid to the formation of the Russian troops is equal to any thing in practice or upon record. There are no less than four corps between the private and the serjeant; merit is almost the sole medium of elevation; as a proof of what may possibly be termed, the severity of discipline, we state from unquestionable authority that an officer has been imprisoned for three months in the black hole without any other sustenance than bread and water, for appearing intoxicated in his regimentals—an example which, by the bye, might be attended to if followed in other countries. The valour of the Russians is proverbial. We formerly quoted a passage from the late Gen. Lloyd, who had long served against, knew them well, and who says of them, "they can't be conquered—they must be kill'd." But having laid thus much in their favour, the ill-judged praise of their eulogists makes it necessary, in order to reconcile the time employed in their route to Italy with the accounts of their marching 24 to 36 miles a day, to observe that their baggagewagons generally resemble that of an eastern camp, and containing their women and children, impedes that rapid progress, to which their contributions and muscular powers render them so distinguishedly competent.
The Russians, on the 27th of February, left the neighbourhood of Vienna, and had not reached Verona, a distance of 518 English miles, on the 7th April, which allowing that they had then arrived, would be little more than at the rate of seven English miles a day.
Much uneasiness has been expressed lest the heat of the climate of Italy, superior to what the Russians have been accustomed to, should destroy them; to which we shall only observe that even in Siberia, the sun is more powerful than in any part of Italy, in proof of which we mention that though in the month of May the snow lies from six to eight feet deep, and through the winter continues without interruption from the end of October to the middle of June, the natives have, in their three months of summer, two crops even of hay; which, in point of quantity, is not to be surpassed in any other part of the universe.
Specific for the Tooth-Ach. The little insect called the Cæcinella, Sep-tempunctato, or Lady-bird, bruised to death between the finger and thumb, and the liquid rubbed on the part affected, is said to be an infallible cure for this very troublesome complaint.
By this Day's Mail. INDIAN NEWS.
CINCINNATI, June 4. Last Tuesday afternoon arrived in this town, Captain John Warrior, a white man, adopted among the Shawanese nation, with furs. By him we learn, that a number of the tribes are to assemble in council at Sandusky on the 7th inst. to consult on matters relative to their own national concerns; he informs that they have not the least idea of any thing hostile against the frontiers, or the people of the United States: on the contrary, they wish to live in amity with the white people; he mentions, that a number of Frenchmen and Spaniards have been among them, endeavoring to stir them up to war against the people of this country, but could not prevail; he says "Indian, very sick of war"—he confirms the account published in the Journal of last week, under the Lexington head of May 21, of some northern tribes going to war against the Kaskaskias Indians—he likewise informs, that the Shawanese, Delaware and Wyandots, wish to unite and become as one nation, which is the chief purport for which this council is convened.
Captain Warrior is an active intelligent man, about forty years of age, was taken when an infant, and has remained among the Indians the whole of his life; he has travelled through several of the States in hopes to find his parents or relations but never could. June 11. By a gentleman who arrived in town on Wednesday last we are informed that, on the 20th or 30th ult. as two men were hunting horses on Floyd's Fork near the town of Shelby, (Kentucky) they were surprised by a party of Indians, who appeared by their dress hostile. In a short time these appearances were realized, for no sooner had they approached within gun shot, than the Indians fired—killed one—and put a bullet through the cloaths of the other, who made his escape without receiving any other damage. On his return home, he spread the alarm thro' the neighbourhood, in consequence of which the inhabitants immediately stationed and put themselves in a state of defence. The Indians are supposed to be Shawanese or Delaware. This information may be relied on, as our informant was knowing to the circumstance.
Information has been received in town last week, that the Indians killed a white man, (a trader) on the waters of Indian Kentucky, about 80 miles below this place. The man killed was a Frenchman; it is supposed the Indians were drunk.
We have it from undoubted authority, that general Wilkinson has received orders to repair immediately to Philadelphia—and that all officers of rank had received similar orders.
A gentleman who arrived in town last Saturday evening, from Hamilton, informs, that the Indians have warped Captain John Hamilton, (a gentleman who has been along time a trader among them—and who now lives at the Big Spring, five miles the other side of Hamilton) to move within this present moon, into the town, else he might expect, that he and his family would be killed, as there were a party collecting to some against the Frontiers.
BAD NEWS. Nothing can equal the ravages which the Canker-worm is making this spring, among the Farmers of this County. The fields of Wheat, Rye, Oats, Indian Corn and grass swarm with them—the two latter, are entirely laid waste by them.
Union (Fayette County) June 21. The Grand Jury of Bedford County, convened at April term 1799, conceiving it highly necessary that a true republican character should be selected to succeed the present Governor, have therefore unanimously agreed to support, and recommend to their fellow-citizens JAMES ROSS, Esquire, of Pittsburg.
NEW-YORK, June 27. Extract of a Letter from a Mercantile House of respectability in London, dated May 4. "Tobacco yet remains perfectly unsalable, but our political horizon brightens amazingly; and beyond all expectation, which will no doubt give a spur to this and every other article. The powers in Europe have at last risen, and will soon curb that of the Great Nation. Russians, Prussians, and Turks have joined the brave Austrians; and no less than 250,000 Frenchmen have fallen since the 5th ult. The Archduke Charles, is now in Switzerland, and will soon be down the Rhine, into the low Countries."
BOSTON, June 24. DIED. On Tuesday last, James Hughes, Esq. Attorney at Law, in this town. The loss of Genius will long mourn the death of a brother; the man of science, taste and sentiment will drop a tear to his memory. The various effusions of his Genius brilliantly witness, that he was a star of the first magnitude in the hemisphere of American literature. As a man, a heart, that could feel the woes, as well as beat in union with the joys of another, was his. Tho' no splendid titles decorate the registry of his death, yet he, whose genius has often strewed with flowers the hearse, and embalmed the memory of others, has left monuments to his own more durable, than marble; and so long as the native language of Americans can charm by elegant composition, the name of Hughes will be remembered, and blest.
BOTTLED PORTER, FOR SALE AT HARE'S BREWERY.
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 28.
If instead of singing hofannas to the French, real republicans , were to read with attention, the Roman history; it might perhaps open their eyes to the tendency of French conquests. The fact is; the French have adopted, and even refined upon, Roman maxims—hence we see them use the same means, which the Romans did, to conquer, and make precisely the same use of their conquests.
No people could cover, or shelter themselves, from the enterprizes, and vexations of the Roman Republic, however attentive they might be, to furnish no pretext for a rupture; that Republic always found they had been guilty of some crime, which it was necessary to chastise. It is the same with the French Republic. The two following traits will exhibit the character of the Roman Republic:—When Manlius returned from his expedition against the Gallo-Greeks, Furius and Emilius, his enemies, endeavored to prevent his obtaining a triumph, upon the pretext, that the war, he had made, was unjust; but Manlius confounded them easily, by representing, that the Gauls had formerly pillaged the Temple of Delphos, an impiety, which he said, had not been punished. These same Romans (according to Justin) were not ashamed to alledge, as a serious reason, for undertaking the defence of the Acarnanians, against the Etolians, that the Ancestors of the first, were the only people of Greece, who had not sent troops to the siege of Troy. What state or country has been fortunate enough, to cover or shelter itself, from the revolutionizing enterprizes of France, when it suited her to make them; and when she has prepared a people to receive her yoke, has she in any instance, employed better reasons for imposing it, than that they or their ancestors had, or had not, sent troops to the siege of Troy; or that their ancestors in days of yore, had committed a supposed crime, for which, their posterity deserved punishment.
MR. FENNO, I believe I may defy the annals of the United States to shew an instance of hardened audacity, equal to that of Duane, in Publishing the following account of himself. "Duane prints, every day, paragraphs an hundred times more obnoxious than those for which Abijah Adams was dressed in a floss jacket. But then the pulse of liberty beats a degree harder in Philadelphia than in Boston, and as a skillful astronomer can calculate eclipses, so a skillful state quack must learn to calculate political pulses." How long are we to be insulted by wretches who can thus boast of their obnoxious qualities and thus insult us for our forbearance and tame submission to Crimes which are punished every where but in Pennsylvania?
Extract of a letter from an American in Paris, dated April 18. "I am sorry to inform you of the continuance of the cause of my being in Paris; the value of your ship and cargo was too important to be relinquished. Although since the recent successes of the Austrians the tone of the French government has changed materially towards neutrals, they are not yet in a condition to refund. Indeed, I do not think they are able, since from the Directory down to the lowest scrib in office, every one lives in every species of debauchery far beyond his income, and leaves no artifice untried to strain his credit to its utmost verge. You have seen enough long since, to explain to you the views of the party which refused Lord Shelburne's last proposition, which occasioned the proscription of Carnot and the banishment of Pichegru and his friends; but you have not the pleasure to view the change of countenance in these once insolent, but now chop-fallen wretches. When I first arrived they were all elation: "Let us render the whole world tributary." Let us oust the Romans in glorious conquest and extent of power. While every Poissard in Paris held this language, the complaints of the neutrals were treated with the utmost contempt and ridicule. "Cite us an instance, said they, of restitutio by Alexander or by Cæsar, and we will bear you." "You may thank our forbearance that we have not demanded as much of you as we have received from the Dutch" laid another. "What right have such impotent Colonies to expect not to pay an acknowledgement to the masters of the universe, for your political existence as a nation?"—All this have we been forced daily to hear, till the check which the unexpected coalition of Russia and Turkey made these wretches resort once more to cunning. They now say that it is a pity we should quarrel, who were once friends; in short, they cant and whine as if they hoped to deceive the neutrals, but until they can force us to swallow the whole of Lethe, they will never succeed, since there is not a neutral in Paris who has not been insulted by the open avowal of their determination (if heaven had favoured their schemes) to scourge, to render tributary and to humble to the dust all the nations of the universe."

No. II. To the Managers Of the ALMS-HOUSE & HOUSE OF EMPLOYMENT, GENTLEMEN,
IN my address to you No. I, I stated that 453 grown persons, found by the public in every necessary article of life in your house, have earned by their work only $7. 87 6 3/4, which is not four shillings, one with another, in the whole year; when a laboring man in the same situation, earns twice as much in one day.
We are now waiting for ourselves, not for W. or any unknown person, to tell us what is the reason of this obvious declension of labor. We may well look to you for satisfaction, for we are paying enormous sums of money to encourage idleness and industry, and our feelings are sported with in calling your institution, as things are going on, a Loufe of employ. Having made my remarks on the subject of employing the poor, I proceed to consider the other items of your annual account. To speak of it in general, I may say, that you have blended your charges so improperly together; that it is impossible to understand them. For instance—you debit in Nov 2, for provisions purchased £645 5 6 3/4. Now what does this large sum consist of? How many barrels of flour, how many pounds of meat? Are the liquors included under this head, or under the article of medicines? for there can be no doubt, the family have consumed brandy, spirits, and wine too. Now, Gentlemen, let me ask you, would any one of you receive such an account from your own steward? I think you would not; and therefore you ought not to deliver such an account to the public, whose stewards in fact you are: for it is not only not informing the people, but it is much less useful than it might, and ought to be to those who succeed you in office; for if they should want to compare one year with another, to discover wherein they can reduce their expenses, in any article, how are they to do it? By going to inspect your day book as one of your old managers told me to do, or by having a well digested abstract before them. In the first case they would be lost in a labyrinth of charges; and in the latter they would see your situation in a moment. I have nothing further to offer on the provision part of your account at this time, only to observe, that you make no mention of a large public contribution, which I suppose is all consumed in the house. Why you omit to do it I cannot tell; but I think you should introduce it among your other expenses. I mean the articles of butter and pork, forfeited by law to your institution. Of the former you have been known to receive large quantities in a year; and I am told you or your predecessors, have received 70 hogs in a day, and salted 173 in the same space of time. If you have debited, as no doubt you have done, under the head of provisions, the money you have paid for their feeding, &c. I see no reason why you should not render an account of what they produce.
Extract of a letter [received at Boston] from a gentleman, Super-Cargo of an American vessel at Lisbon, to his Owners in this town received by the Sch. Sally Caleb, Knapp, who arrived yesterday at Gloucester, 28 days passage.
"A French fleet of 19 sail appeared off Cadiz, supposed to join the Spaniards—the English Endeavoured to bring them to battle for 2 days, but without effect; the boats from 6 sail were off Lisbon to day on their way to join the English fleet; there is also 16 sail in pursuit of them,—who went first to Ireland but there received accounts of their going towards the Straights."
THE LION. Boston, Pennsylvania, June 23.
"Monday last a stranger stopped here a short time, on his way from Kentucky to Vermont, who was soon discovered to be the puissant and ever memorable Knight of the Wooden Sword; but he looked for much more like a Thief than a Lion, that even the Democrats (Shameless as they are) generally avoided his company.—His "Inexpressibles" otherwise called "Leather Organs" those like a newly polished mahogany table, and upon the whole he made a very greasy appearance."

The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Buxton, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the popularity of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of becoming the Grand Through-Fare from Philadelphia to New York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained.—There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is among the least of its advantages, because daily experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as comfort in travelling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little in summer, which, circumstances, added to the beauty of the country, and a considerable proportion of shade, must always render travelling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable. The Swift Sure starts from PHILADELPHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street. It goes through Frankford to Buxton, where it stops to Breakfast; from Buxton it goes through Newtown to Pennypack to dinner; from Pennypack through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New-York at noon. From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Edward Bartlin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtland, corner of Greenwich street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile. Each passenger is allowed to take on 14lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight. With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge themselves to make good every package on the following conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall fee it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then take the value of the package, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent. on the value, as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he eliminates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent, and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like proportion for packages of any other value. Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike this regulation; it will, however, be optional with every one to avail himself of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to state very explicitly, that they will be responsible for the late delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insurance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and tarry as have always afforded a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and committed to the care of intelligent labor and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the persons they employ is continually an object of their attention.—They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no one of chicane or violence is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, during which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift-Sure are extremely happy to hear the behaviour of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns, spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
