LONDON, April 20.
Advices were yesterday morning received from Plymouth, stating the arrival there of the St. Florenzo and Amelia frigates from a cruise, much disabled, having had an action on the 9th inst. off Belleisle, with three French frigates and a cutter, viz. La Vengeance, of forty-eight 24 pounders, and 400 men; La Cornielle, of forty-four 18 pounders; and a cutter gun vessel of 12 guns, the whole of which being near Houdie Rocks and the batteries firing on our frigates, they escaped by running into the Loire, after an action of an hour and 20 minutes, in which they suffered very much in loss of men.
The Florenzo had 1 killed and 18 wounded; the Amelia 2 killed and 19 wounded.—Both ships suffered very severely in their masts and rigging. After the action, the St. Florenzo captured the Decade French brig, from which they obtained the names of the French squadron, and that the French commander, with 100 men on board his ship, were killed.—The other ships suffered great loss of men, &c.

The General in Chief of the Armies of Italy at Naples, to the Executive Directory. Head-Quarters at Marmirolo, 6th April, 1799.
Citizens Directors,
From my last dispatches you would foresee that I would soon be obliged to engage the enemy a second time, in order to compel him to quit the right side of the Adige, and to prevent him from taking me in flank and rear at the moment of passing that river. This battle took place yesterday. The action was in an instant extended throughout the whole line.
Generals Victor and Grenier proceeded along the banks of the Adige below Verona to take possession of the village of St. James. Gen. Delmas, with his advanced guard, was to penetrate by Dossobono, and protect the attack of these two divisions. Gen. Moreau, with Harry's and Montrichard's divisions was charged with engaging every corps of the enemy he might find between Villafranca and Verona.—Finally, Serrurier, who was charged with the attack of Villafranca, who having taken that little town, was to pursue the enemy and drive him into the Adige. I know not whether the enemy was acquainted with my plan. But be this as it may, Gen. Serrurier, after having been repulsed at the attack of Villafranca, succeeded, however, in obtaining possession of it by a vigorous charge, and took more than nine hundred prisoners. Moreau, with his two divisions, having forced the enemy in the plain to fall back, marched straight to Verona. Gen. Delmas, notwithstanding his wound, which was re-opened by a fall from his horse, during the night, would command his division. I took my post at this attack, as forming the central point, and also to send assistance to any other place where it might be wanted. The action lasted from eleven in the morning to four in the afternoon. The four divisions on the left had a marked advantage over the enemy, notwithstanding his immense superiority.
Generals Victor and Grenier, who at first obtained some advantage by the impetuosity of their troops, were compelled to slacken their attack about four o'clock; and as the enemy continually received reinforcements from Verona, they were obliged to order a retreat about 6 o'clock.
The division of General Delmas sustained several charges without being broken. The numerous troops which the enemy had detached towards the center enabled him to extend his line upon the flank of the division; but Gen. Delmas manoeuvred with extraordinary skill, and at last compelled him to retreat.
At five in the evening, after these different events, Gen. Serrurier remained master of Villafranca. Gen. Moreau engaged the enemy's camp almost under the wall of Verona.—Gen. Delmas was master of the field of battle; but the retreat of the two divisions of the right leaving my right flank uncovered, I ordered the two other divisions to preserve their ground until night came on, and afterwards to effect their retreat to the positions they occupied before the battle.
Such, Citizens Directors, is the result of this affair.—Two thousand prisoners were taken from the enemy, and seven pieces of cannon. The field of battle was covered with more than four thousand dead bodies, for we fought during seven hours with a most terrible obstinacy. I have lost nearly 3000 men killed, wounded and taken: and three pieces of artillery.
FLORENCE, 8th Germinal, March 28.
On the 4th the government was informed, that notwithstanding all the efforts made by M. de Manfredini, the French were resolved to occupy Tuscany, and that while a corps of troops was proceeding to Florence,—In consequence of this information, the following proclamation was issued on the morning of the 5th.
"Ferdinand III. by the Grace of God, Prince Royal of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduke of Austria, Grand Duke of Tuscany, &c."
"We shall regard it as a proof of fidelity, attachment, and affection on the part of our faithful subjects, if, at the time of the entry of the French troops into Florence, they respect the French corps, and all the individuals who compose it, & abstain from all acts that might give occasion to any kind of complaint; this prudent conduct will secure to them new claims to our good will."
Done at Florence, the 24th of March, 1799.
(Signed) "FERDINAND, "J. FRANCISCO SERATI, "GAETENO RANIOLDE."
In the course of the morning on the 5th Germinal, a number of general Sheier's proclamations, and those of general Gauthier, commander of the division of Tuscany, were circulated in the city.
At 4 o'clock on the same morning the French corps appeared at the gate of St. Gallo. It consisted of infantry, cavalry, and a detachment of artillery, with some pieces of cannon, and was commanded by general Gauthier. The French advanced into the city without experiencing any opposition. They proceeded to the principal posts, which they immediately occupied, the Tuscan troops who guarded them having laid down their arms.
On the 6th, the necessary preparations were made for the departure of the Grand Duke, and on the 7th, in the morning, he left the town, accompanied by his wife and children, and escorted by a detachment of French troops. The principal officers of the court and some domestics followed him. He is to proceed to Vienna.
Trees of Liberty have been planted in the square of St. Croix, and that of new St. Maria.
ARMY OF THE DANUBE.
Strasburg, 20th Germinal (April 9.) General Collaud is appointed Commander of the 5th Military Division, in the room of Chateauneuf-Randon.
General Massena arrived here yesterday evening. He has left the command of Helvetia and the Grisons with General Lacourbe.
The Army of the Danube daily receives considerable reinforcements. The whole of that has not yet passed the Rhine; there still remains on the right bank of that river a body of troops, consisting of 3d and 4th divisions of the army, under the command of General St. Cyr: he has fixed his headquarters at Kehl, about half a myriameter on the other side of Kehl: his advanced guard is at Offembourg.
Yesterday morning he reconnoitred the country as far as Gegenbach, where the valley of Kinchel, in which the Austrians have their advanced posts, commences.
Another body of troops occupies the passages of Rinchen, Oberkirch, and Oppenau, leading to Kneisbis.
The principal body of the Austrians is at this moment on the other side of the Black Forest; but we are still ignorant what plans they may have formed. It appears only that the Archduke meditates an attack on the Helvetic Republic. A considerable corps is assembling in the neighbourhood of Italy, and his principal magazines are at Villingen and Donechingen.
General Sztaray's divisions will attempt to raise the blockade of Philipsburg.
Another letter same date.
Gen. Massena, who has just arrived here, and generals Perino, St. Cyr, and several other commanders, have had a consultation with Jourdan, who, it is confidently asserted will this day set off for Paris.
Our troops were to evacuate Little Basle, and break down the bridge which joins it to the other part of the city.
By a courier who reached Rastadt on the 18th (7th) Count Metternich has been commanded to communicate to the Deputation the orders transmitted by his court, to quit the Congress, and to declare in the name of the Emperor, that his Majesty is under the necessity of revoking all the concessions which have been made during its sitting, to the Ministers Plenipotentiary of the French Republic, and which had been acceded to only with the Imperial ratification, ( salvo ratificatione Cæsaris et imperii ) and consequently that all matters are restored to the same state in which they were before the Congress of Rastadt.
Another letter same date.
General St. Cyr, has brought back his headquarters to Offembourg to cover that country until the army of the Danube resumes the offensive. The troops detached from the Army of Observation have their advanced posts on the Kneisbis. The Austrians are at Breudenstadt and in the valley of Kintzing. Prince Charles has his headquarters at Geissengen on the Danube. The blockade of Philipsburg is raised.
General Massena has taken the provisional command of the army. It was given up to him by Gen. Jourdan, who has obtained from the Directory a leave of absence for 15 days, to re-establish his health, which fatigue has much impaired. He is to set out for Paris to-morrow, for the purpose of concerting with the Directory and the Minister at War the proper measures for establishing our army speedily to resume the offensive. He takes with him only one of his Aides-De-Camp and an Adjutant General.
Perino, who commands the right wing of the army of the Danube, departed this morning to replace provisionally Massena in the command of that of Helvetia.
General Bernadotte, who was appointed Commander in Chief of the Army of Observation, and who, after its union with that of the Danube, was to have commanded two divisions, forming the left wing of that army, has resigned. His successor is to be General Collaud, who is distinguished by his military talents, his love of order and discipline, and several other qualities; we know not yet who is to replace this General in the command of the conquered departments, and five military divisions.
Head-quarters of his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles at Geissengen, 3rd April, 1799.
The advanced posts of the army extend on the one side through Peterle to beyond Villingen, and on the other side to near Neustadt.
According to the latest accounts the enemy has evacuated the passages of which he had obtained possession in the Tyrol.
A dispatch from Field Marshal Kray, which has this moment arrived, announces that there has been a very sharp engagement near Legnano, in which, however, neither party had the advantage.
ARMY OF HELVETIA.
Head-quarters at St. Gall, 14 Germinal, 7th year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
Proclamation of the General in Chief to the People of Helvetia.
HELVIETIANS, The French commanders inform me that perfidious or lunatical persons commit acts of violence against the French troops when they march single or in scattered bodies. I learn likewise, that symptoms of insurrections have appeared in several quarters of Switzerland.
Helvetians! Why this sudden change? Why do you destroy that indispensable harmony which existed between you and the French army? Why do you disturb that peace which reigned in your abodes?
It would thus seem, that you give ear to the insinuations and atrocious plots of the enemies of the French Republic, who are also your enemies! It would thus appear that you conceive the French army is no longer in a state to resist the Austrian forces! The army which I command has beat them at every point where it has been engaged, and will still beat them, should they dare to enter your territory.
But can you imagine that amidst the efforts of courage, and the sacrifices which that brave army makes for your defence, that it would coolly see its heroes falling under the attacks of cowardly assassins? Do you think that I myself will hesitate to take terrible vengeance on these infamous enormities!
Helvetians who remain attached to France and your constitution! Save your country from the evils which threaten it by repressing the guilty! Point them out to your government, that their crimes may be instantly overtaken with punishment.
As to myself I have shown that I knew how to protect you, whilst I beheld in you a faithful ally, so will I shew myself capable of punishing you, if you become traitors, and violators of the faith of treaties.
The security of the French army and your own security also, will be the rule of my conduct.
I therefore declare, that from this moment, I shall hold the several communes responsible for all the events that shall happen within their territory to the annoyance of Frenchmen.
I further declare, that columns of the French army will march with rapidity towards the cantons which shall shew any disposition to insurrection, and that such cantons shall be ravaged with fire and sword.
This proclamation shall be printed in the two languages, published and posted up through the whole of Helvetia and copied into the general orders or the army.
(Signed) MASSENA.
Extract of a letter from Citizen Burthe, Capt. Aid de Camp to General Massena, dated from Head-quarters at St. Gall, 12 Germinal [1st April.]
In several Paris Journals I have seen the number of 30,000 in arms, under General Kray stated at 19,000. Truth, and the position of that army, oblige me to declare that no more than 16,000 have joined it.
The Helvetic government, indeed makes the greatest efforts for the formation of six demi-brigades. But we must regard the moment as still distant, when they will be capable of joining us.
(Signed) BURTHE.
ARMY OF THE EAST.
Buonaparte, Member of the National Institute, and General in Chief, to the Executive Directory. Head Quarters, Cairo, 22 Pluviose—Feb 16
Citizens Directors, We have learned by the way of Suez, that six French frigates, which were cruising at the mouth of the Red Sea, had taken English prizes to the amount of more than twenty millions in value.
The Pashadan, which commenced yesterday, has been celebrated upon my part with the greatest pomp. I have discharged the same functions which the Pacha formerly had to perform.
General Delfaix is more than eighty myriameters from Cairo, and very near the cataracts. He is searching for the ruins of Thebes. I am every moment in expectation of official details of a battle he has had with the Mamelouks, and in which Murray Bey has been killed, and five or six Beks have been taken prisoners.
General Andreossi and Citizen Berthollet are on their return from an excursion to the Lakes of Natron and the Convents of the Copts. They have made several extremely interesting discoveries; among others some excellent natron, (native alkali) which the ignorance of the miners prevented them from before observing. This branch of the commerce of Egypt will thence become still more important."
BOUNAPARTE.
Copy of a letter from Brest, 15th Germinal, (April 4.)
"I hope, my friend, to be able to see you again about the end of this month. The minister of marine, under the conviction that his presence here will soon cease to be necessary, intends returning to Paris in a few days. Thanks to his zeal and activity we have now 24 ships of the line in as complete a state of equipment as the present state of the marine will admit. Their crews, it is true, are not entirely completed; but sailors are coming in to us daily, and to wards the middle of next month, all the ships will have their necessary complement. The money, which the minister has brought down to Brest, has produced the best effect. To the discouragement which the seemingly to-
tal neglect of the marine had inspired, has succeeded an activity of which we have had but few examples."
By a letter from Rome, dated the 26th Ventose, it appears that Civita Vecchia has made a very deliberate resistance against the French:—That Letter says—"It is true that a few days before it was reduced, General Merlin had attempted an assault, but he was repulsed. To avoid a father effusion of blood, he determined to grant a capitulation to the inhabitants, the principal articles of which were, that there should be a general amnesty—that the town and the fortress should be guarded in common by the French troops and the citizens—and that no contribution should be levied upon the inhabitants."
The late Revolutionary Government at Piedmont resigned on the 25th March, and a new one was installed, which proceeded to the provisional organization of the country into four departments, after the French manner. That of which Turin is the capital is to be called the Department of the Eridan.
The Helvetic Directory have removed from his office the Prefect of Schaffhausen, who expressed joy upon learning that the Austrians approached. The Prefect of Lugano has been dismissed on the same account.
PARIS, April 1.
The prince of Conde's head-quarters were removed on the 16th of February, from the city of Dubecz, in Volhynia, and will be transferred to some place in Lithuania.
The Helvetic Legislative body decreed on the 21st of March, that the 18,000 auxiliaries should be taken by lot from among the national guard.
General Keller, who distinguished himself in the French service at Offend, has at present the command of a considerable body of Swiss troops, extending from Constance to Reinegg.
"Head-Quarters, Brussels, March 19, General Ceroni, Commander in Chief of the nine United Departments, to the inhabitants of Belgium, and the troops quartered in it."
"Citizens, "It is the will of Austria, and the war is renewed. Our triumphant armies are already on their march to the battles of the Danube, and traverse the Tyrolean Alps. We must transmit to posterity new proofs of French valor. Let our enemies tremble! The French will be victorious. Citizens it is necessary to recommend to you peace, harmony, and attachment to the Government, under the pressure of circumstances which arrest the attention of the world? The spirit of hideous fanaticism, the power of seductive gold, the expiring influence of the Cabinet of Vienna, every art will be practised to excite new commotions in those fine countries which nature has destined to be happy. Let nothing then terrify you: You are protected by the powerful arms of the first nation in the universe. And ye soldiers whose lot is to repel every attack on the part of the English, to enforce the execution of the laws, and to maintain order and tranquillity in the United Countries, you are in possession of the sentiments of the government—respect a people rendered free by your exertions, and let a strict discipline, a just regard for persons and property, convince them that you see a brother in every Belgian, and that you love him such.—But if fresh tumults compel you once more to exert your levels, let your vengeance be terrible, and do not give quarter to the rebel! Your country relies on your wisdom, your loyalty, and your courage." (Signed) "CERVONI."
The following diplomatic note has been distributed in Germany, by order of the Court of Vienna.
"The French Directory continues to advance the most exaggerated pretensions and the imperial court will not suffer itself to be degraded by republicans, whose object is to humble all princes. Twenty five millions of faithful and devoted subjects, the best army in Europe, and immense resources of all kinds are strong inducements to inspire the Emperor with a just sentiment of his dignity and power. With such means, the Emperor will not allow himself to be dictated to, and his example will be followed by every Monarch whose throne is now threatened by innovation and anarchy. The cause of Kings, when united, can no longer be doubtful—but if they remain divided, their reign must soon be at an end, and Europe must be exposed to the most dreadful calamities."
Extract from a proclamation by Bernadotte to the people of Germany, issued from his head-quarters at Manheim.
"Tyrants and their iniquitous counsellors have mistaken our patience for sleep, and our prudence for death. But nations who have reconquered their liberty are no more liable to sleep than to death."
"Germans! the hostilities which we now commence are entirely defensive. You will no longer misapprehend the odious machinations of the house of Austria. Ever dextrous in engaging you in its quarrels, it would again convert a war undertaken for its own purposes, into a war of the empire, in order to encrease its own strength by exhausting yours."
"You will perceive how much it has directed against your interests, its monstrous alliance with England, which supports itself only by the troubles of the continent—and with Russia, which wishes to impose upon civilized Europe the chains of Asiatic barbarism."
"Germans! The maintenance of your religion, your safety, your liberty, and the independence of your governments, which are on terms of friendship with us, enjoin the necessity of your uniting your efforts to ours to drive these conspiring horde to their respective dens."

Your property will be held sacred. The laws of the republic punish with death those who dare to violate the asylum of the peaceful inhabitants—and they shall be rigorously executed.
Unite with us, Germans, in declaring war against the House of Austria, and against the barbarians of the North, who are again desirous of inundating your territory."
FROM BELFAST PAPERS.
BELFAST, April 26.
The Paris papers, which have been received to the 16th, and from which we have given considerable extracts in this day's paper contain most important advices. We may collect from the letters of the commanders the disastrous situation in which they find themselves; and though they do not contain the particulars, they confirm the statements of the success of the Austrians in every part. The pretexts made use of in the short paragraph published by the Directory, (inserted in our last,) of Jourdan's ill health, and of his having desired leave of absence, but poorly conceal the entire demolition of the plan of the campaign, while they betray their design of throwing the whole blame upon him.
The most valuable part of the intelligence contained in these papers, in our mind, is that which confirms the account of the insurrection in Switzerland, or rather of the determined hostility of the Swiss people to the despotism which they have suffered under the name of Liberty. The Proclamation of Massena states more forcibly even than circumstantial details, the condition of that country.
In Italy we have, from the French Commander himself, the acknowledgment of a most important defeat on the 5th inst. He owns the loss of 3000 men; and after a most desperate battle, failed of accomplishing his obvious purpose, the reduction of Verona. This engagement is material to the fate of Italy, for it will inspire the Austrians with confidence at the very moment when the reinforcement of Russians would arrive to their aid. The French papers merely glance at the former advantages gained by General Kr-y on the Adige, and it is clear, from their own account, that they have been as unfortunate in this quarter as upon the Rhine.
The Gazette of Saturday evening informs the discomfiture of the enemy in Italy, and contains intelligence of the Piedmontese insurgents having become so formidable to their new masters, as to threaten the capital.
LONDON, April 6.
The following paragraph is extracted from the Paris papers of the 12th ult.— "We hear from Breft, that there have been great changes in the naval army, Vice Admiral Delamotte, who was Chief of the Etat Major, is named Commander in Chief; and Vice-Admirals Bedou and Courand, Commanders of Squadrons. The Chief of division, Durand-Lenois, quits the ship the J. J. Rouffea, to be Chief of the Etat Major General; and the Chief of division, Christy-Pallier, is Adjutant General. The ships on board which are the Generals, are—'Ocean, le Republicain, and le Terrible, all three deckers."

THE ONTARIO.
We are sorry to be under the unpleasant necessity of conveying to our readers the following confirmation of the loss of the Ontario, which was handed us by the owners of the ship. We mingle our regrets with those of our fellow citizens, on the unwelcome intelligence.
Extract of a letter from capt. John Wheaton, to his owners, dated at New-Haven, 12th June.
"I embrace the earliest opportunity to inform you of the arrival of your ship Swift, from Canton; I left her yesterday at Saybrook, all well, going down the Sound. You are informed, no doubt, of the loss of the Ontario. I shall be in New-York by the first packet: I have not time to say more, as the mail is closing."
The loss of the ship Ontario, having attracted much attention, and been attended with some interesting circumstances, we have fortunately succeeded in obtaining a narrative of the particulars of the shipwreck, from the journal of one of the officers on board. We were unable to procure it in due time for the paper of this day, but shall publish the whole of it to-morrow.
We are informed by one of the officers that it is expected enough oil will be saved to fill up by different boats, to satisfy
the Speedwell, lately wrecked near the Hook—One of the Pilot-boats had taken up nine barrels.
Since writing the above, the Pilot-boat Commerce, with 8 casks, and the Hound with 27 casks, get up from 50 miles below the Hook, where the oil was picked up.
A wit lately observed, that the contending armies in Europe would want, during the present campaign, as much paper for wadding as was consumed during the 18 months pacific Congress at Rastadt.
The frontiers of Styria, where the Russian troops were on the 20th of March, is about 250 miles from Verona, which was the headquarters of the Austrian army on the first of April.
NORWICH, June 12.
The Sloop of war building in this place for the Federal Government progresses with rapidity, and her present appearances promise her as a very valuable addition to our rising Navy.

CITIZEN, Permit me, through the medium of your paper, to tender my grateful acknowledgments, to your delectable correspondent from Northampton county.
To be publicly announced in the "Aurora" as an enemy to sedition poles, &c. is so flattering and distinguished an honor, that I am firmly persuaded the pithy author of that elegant composition, is really an obsequious friend in disguise.
The sweet remembrance of his inestimable kindness in this instance, nothing but omnipotent power shall ever obliterate.
With a refined sensibility of soul, of which the bosom of disinterested friendship is alone susceptible, he has ingeniously designed, to confer a favor of inestimable magnitude without imposing a correspondent obligation. His inexpressible goodness, has penetrated the auricles and ventricles of my heart and expanded even my lungs, almost to bursting.
I beg him, for the present, to accept the assurances of my most profound consideration, and to believe that his future dignified and dignifying communications, through the same auspicious channel, will be promptly and properly reciprocated.
Health and Fraternity! THOS. B. DICK.

Extract of a letter from captain Thomas Orange, of the ship Orange, of New-York, dated Tenerife, 2d May, 1799.
"We had discharged all our cargo at Madeira, except 1600 or 2000 bushels of corn, and had received 12 tons of iron on board, and would have been dispatched in a little time, had not we been blown to sea, and captured within ten miles of Funchall Road by two French privateers, a sloop of four 12 pounders and 60 men, and Le Mars of 18, nines and twelves, and 150 men, who robbed me and my people of every thing, and turned us ashore here, and God knows how many people will get home. Had it not been for Mr. Barry, myself and people would have starved."

IMPORTANT NEWS
From Europe may daily be expected—Yesterday the Schooner Phoenix, Capt. Gales, arrived here in 45 days from Portsmouth, in Great-Britain. Capt. G. informs, that on the sixth day after he sailed from Portsmouth, an express cutter spoke the Topaze, frigate—the conveying ship—and informed the Commander, that he had fallen in with French fleet from BREST; and was directed to England to give the intelligence; and that on the receipt of the news
the Topaze directed the whole convoy to shift its course from northward to southward, and to flow no lights.
Capt. G. brought no papers; but confirms the accounts of the defeats of the French.
FOREIGN ARTICLES.
Accounts from Infpruck, April 4, say. "The French have entirely evacuated the Tyrol. In their retreat they have been guilty of the greatest excesses.—At Nauders they took away the sacred vessels and plate from the churches, broke the statues, and tore the pictures of the saints.—Women who had taken refuge in some stables were burnt in them, together with the cattle."
April 7, a body of Austrians entered Klee-ner, in Switzerland, a league from Balle. On the 31st March the Russian column of 24,000 men, was at Ballano, three short days march from Verona.

THE
BAVIAD
AND
MEVIAD.
By WILLIAM GIFFORD, 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 its publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper, or print, to any one ever yet printed 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, 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 admire. The justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations.
Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Somerville, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Eli, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Lisbon and other places, as soon as occasions offer. may 28
