Austrian Official Accounts.
Innsbruck, March 16. GOV. Court Bissengen has published the following notice: "According to accounts this day received the Austrian Troops posted at Martinbruck (over the Grisons), under the command of Colonel Knesewicz, were attacked by the Enemy on the 12th inst. with 5000 men. The battle lasted till night, when the Enemy notwithstanding all their exertions, were obliged to retire to the Heights of Schleins with considerable loss. On the 15th the same Colonel was again repeatedly attacked, but of these attacks we as yet know not the issue." [Another Letter, same date.] "The Enemy, after the conquest of the Grisons, advanced in great force towards Upper and Lower Engadine. Our Troops have been obliged to retreat from Gafna and Sultz, towards St. Maria; they were too weak to oppose the Enemy pressing them on every side." "At Martinbruck, however, the extreme pass towards the Tyrol, there was an action on the 14th, in which the Austrians were engaged eight hours; and notwithstanding the French were 5000 strong, and we had only one battalion, they were obliged to retreat. The levy of the Peasants, is conducted by General Laudon. News of a battle in this quarter is hourly expected."

The Vienna Court Gazette, of the 23d ult. contains the following Official Bulletin: According to the accounts of the 15th of March, General Laudon then occupied the post near Bormio, by which the communication was kept up with the valley of Engadine. The brave militia in Tyrol is every where in motion, shews the best disposition, and support every where the Imperial Royal Army, so gallantly fighting for their country. On the 16th, according to later accounts, General Laudon was attacked on the said post of Bormio; and though the attack was several times beat off, and always renewed with more violence, yet the French could not carry that post on that day; but when they advanced again on the 17th with superior numbers, they succeeded in repulsing our people from it. The force of the French, who penetrated into the valley of Engadine, is estimated at two whole divisions. This circumstance induced Field Marshal Lieutenant General Bellegarde to let part of the corps of reserve of his army enter the district of Winterhoen to be prepared at all events.
Official Bulletin from Innsbruck, March 19. "According to official reports received this afternoon, the French division of General Lecocbe which enter Engadine, as far as Martinbruck, has been taken in flank and rear, in consequence of an attack skilfully contrived and executed on the 15th by Brigadier General Laudon, by which means the French General Mainoni, several Staff and superior officers, and some hundred prisoners fell into his hands. This attack caused the enemy's attempting to break through in great force near Martinbruck, and supported by some armed Engadines, they wanted to turn General Knesewicz, who commanded the defile of Novellaville." "The peculiar bravery of the Imperial Royal Troops, and the defenders of Tyrol, who hastened to the spot, animated with the same courage, frustrated the plan of the enemy. The enemy on the 17th at half past five in the morning, attacked General Alcamì, in his position at Martinbruck, with impetuosity, and superior number, from all sides and repeated their attacks till eleven o'clock, with the utmost obstinacy; but they were every where repulsed with great loss, and one captain two lieutenants, and eighteen privates were made prisoners. The enemy also detached a column of 600 men, at the same time, down Novellaville, between Finiturmuz and Nauders, with the design of taking the position of Martinbruck in the rear; but they were kept off by a division of the Regiment of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and completely routed, and immediately pursued by a company of Tyrolean marksmen. On the enemy's retreat to Spitsberg, a picquet of Warasdeins took 347 prisoners. The Imperial troops have done prodigies of valor in the engagements that have hitherto taken place; and the Tyrolese defenders have also laudably co-operated. The retreat of the above mentioned 600 French troops was so precipitately effected, that, throwing away their musketry, they took flight over the mountain of Stitsberg, and left the prisoners already mentioned in the hands of the Imperialists."
Events in Swabia.
On the 20th of March the Austrian army commanded by the Archduke Charles and the French army under Jourdan, were engaged. A part of each army was on the two sides of the Danube. Jourdan intended to have commenced the attack on the 21st; but a defector from him having apprized the Archduke of his intention, he profited by the information and gave the first blow. General Jourdan had two horses shot under him. Gen. Leclerc was wounded—and the killed and wounded were numerous. The left wing of the French army, which was their whole force on one side of the Danube was compelled to retreat about 40 miles. The right wing of the French army, at the same time drove the Austrians. A few days afterwards the left wing recovered some of its ground; but the result of these actions left the French
Several miles removed from positions they had held: and waiting reinforcements, are they attempted to advance. Jourdan complained that his army was inferior to the Archduke's in numbers; which is tantamount to a confession that the French Army must be superior in numbers to conquer.
ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.
Paris, April 1. The proceedings of the primary assemblies must prove very formidable to the views of the Directory, as the elections have, in most places, fallen upon persons distinguished for their strenuous opposition to the measures of the executive government. The partisans of the Directory have been defeated in the departments of the Doubs, the Pajs de Calais, the Somme, and the North. The public mind appears to be greatly irritated against the Government, and the letter of the minister of the interior to the electors of Aix, was openly treated as the production of an incendiary. The oppositionists enjoyed a signal triumph in the primary assemblies of the city of Tours, as the electors returned by them are all persons who had been dismissed from their places by the Directory.
London, April 10. Paul I. has written the following letter to Marshal Suwarow, announcing his nomination to the chief command of the Army of Italy: "The Emperor of the Romans requires you to command the Army of Italy. I add my prayers to his solicitation. Set off: you will have under your command one hundred thousand Austrians, and forty thousand Russians."
Variegated Selection. A Slave Trade Limitation Bill has passed in a Committee of the Whole of the British House of Commons; and the blank for the time has been filled with January 1, 1801. The Irish Militia have tendered their services to defend the kingdom of Great Britain, or any part of his majesty's European dominions in case of invasion or insurrection—and have received his majesty's thanks—been accepted and enrolled accordingly, and provision made by parliament for their expenses in case of being called upon. The Irish parliament have voted a sum for the relief of the Loyalists who have suffered in their property.—And provision has been made for compensating the British regulars and militia who have served in Ireland. The English East India company have sent an extraordinary number of cadets to India this year—and have directed that no more ladies should be received as passengers the present season. A general embargo was ordered in France, April 4, in order to prevent the sailors escaping from the impressment which was making to man the Navy. The Dutch fleet was in the Texel April 9—No troops on board, nor in the vicinity to be shipped. General Stuart is gone from Minorca against Malta. Seven hundred Lascars brought from India in a late fleet have set out on their return. H. Duane has been executed in Ireland. One Cohen, an American by birth, charged with an improper correspondence with the French, was taken up in England; but was discharged on promising to keep out of the country during the war. A Surgeon and a master of a man of war, have been sentenced to death in England, as the principal and second in a duel in which a person was killed. The quarrel respected English and American politics. The Surgeon is an American. The deceased an Englishman, and gave the challenge. The parties are respited till the King's pleasure is known. Captain Hood, with a British squadron in the Mediterranean, has captured two ships of the line and two frigates, which attempted to escape from Alexandria. The French had previously taken these ships of the line from the Venetians. French papers, say, the British have failed in a Bombardment of Alexandria; That a body of Russians and Turks landed at Aboukir, had been defeated; that Buonaparte had conquered Syria; destroyed Murat Bey; strengthened himself in Egypt, and so forth. The French conceive the Grison Country, quite secured—and have issued precepts for the people to choose Representatives to the Helvetic Legislature. This is a dose of treacle to sweeten their slavery. Berne, (in Switzerland) was illuminated on account of some recent French successes—but many of the windows in which the lights were placed, were broken. French papers lament, that the Patriots are cruelly persecuted at the Isle of France. Robaud is gone with 600 soldiers to join Tippoo. Pichegru is at Brunswick. Championet is to be tried at Milan. Admiral Nelson remains at Palermo, with the Neapolitan Royal Family. The Ethalion, British frigate has captured the indefatigable, French privateer ship, of 18 guns and 120 men. Out only one day from Nantes, victualled for 4 months. A fine copper-bottomed vessel. From the 10th of June, 1798 to the 10th of Feb. the English cruisers, from the Leeward West-India Islands, captured 13 French privateers, carrying 72 guns and 513 men—and also took 120 merchantmen. The British ship Argo, in the Mediterranean, has captured a Spanish frigate, called, the Santa Teresa, Don. Pablo Perez, master, mounting 42 guns, besides swivels, and 300 men; having on board 280 seamen and 250 soldiers. She was victualled for 4 months, and had just set to sea. The British brig L'Espair, in the Mediterranean has taken a Spanish xebec, called the Africa, of 14 guns, and 75 men, after an action of an hour and an half in which the Spaniards had 9 killed and 28 wounded, and the English 2 killed and 2 wounded. An 18 gun Spanish brig ran away at the commencement of the engagements.
The Campo Formio, French frigate, of 28 guns, is cast away and said to be saved. The numerous assassinations in France have been so greatly increased, that the Legislature has been several days debating new measures for preventing them. The Spanish Ambassador has been ordered from Constantinople. An American in London has invented a perpetual log, which being attached to the rudder, is to communicate to persons on deck the progress of the vessel. The Theatre of Odeon has been burned at Paris, with all its appurtenances, & three persons who were endeavouring to preserve some valuable articles. Sieyes is talked of as the New Director. Lefaux, it is said, will go out, be appointed minister of the Interior; and Neufchateau, removed to some other important situation. A Citizeness Mozard has been thrown into prison at Paris, accused of emigration. A violent insurrection has broken out in the Swiss Canton of Cenis—"fomented (say the French papers) by Austria, and the priests." On the 4th of April the British House of Lords, agreed a further postponement of the consideration of the Union with England and Ireland.—On this motion of postponement, the debate was warm.—The mover said it was a subject, which, the more it was considered, the more it would be approved. Many convicted Irish rebels have been removed to Fort St. George in Great-Britain, where they are confined. The French Directory have decreed, that all the conscription men, who do not join the army in 5 days shall be considered deserters. The French papers say that the Emperor of Russia has demanded agreeably to an existing treaty, 10,000 effective troops of the King of Denmark. The Danes have tried to evade furnishing these men, have offered money, &c. but the Emperor is peremptory with respect to the troops. Therefore Denmark may be calculated upon as one of the coalition, though from necessity. The French army of observation is supposed, and Bernadotte, has a more active command under Jourdan. The French directory has ordered the Commune of Nice to be put in a state of siege. So Frenchmen arrived at Naples March 6, from Egypt. The greater part of them perfectly blind—Among these commissioner Saucy; who was assassinated after landing. Gen. Macdonald, commands at Naples, vice Championet. The Pope is ordered to Tuscany, but is prevented from proceeding thither by indispotion. New taxes are levied in the Cisalpine Republic. A Portuguese squadron off Naples, burned two Neapolitan ships of the line to prevent them falling into the hands of the French. It was reported at Rastadt, that Robert Deputy to the Congress, would be the new Director. A law is in consideration, in the British Parliament, for withholding bail from persons arrested for sedition. A bill was brought into the Irish Parliament for depriving United Irishmen of their elective franchise; but was lost. A duty of nine pence is proposed in the Irish Parliament to be laid upon each goat skin, tanned to imitate Morocco Leather, on exportation. The British ship Centaur, entered the Spanish harbour of Crambelle in the Mediterranean, destroyed a fort, and burned or took to vessel.
FRENCH ELECTIONEERING.
London, May 10.
The last Paris papers very naturally turn the Public curiosity to the issue of Elections, which they acknowledge to have turned out, almost universally, in opposition to the wishes of the Government. Indeed it is scarcely possible to indulge in a political speculation of more general importance to Europe, or more pregnant of events, by which the fate of the Directory or the Councils must soon be decided. Herodotus informs us, that it was a fundamental law of the Constitution, under the ancient Monarchy of Egypt, that upon each demise of the Crown the kingdom should remain for the space of one year without a government. It was doubtless intended that the experience of Anarchy, (which is nothing more nor less than the empire and impunity of crimes) should attach the people by a negative example to the Laws, the Sovereign and the administration of good and virtuous Citizens. In France, this extraordinary practice seems literally inverted; and it is only for a few days in the year, at the period of the elections, that the voice of Liberty and a Constitution, is permitted to be heard; as if it required the annual sacrifice of the men, in any shape dear or faithful to their country, to deter, through the rest of the year, any attempt to shake off the yoke of tyranny; any future struggle to obtain the execution of the laws, or the termination of the crimes and anarchy that prevail in their name. When one observes the struggles that are every where making through the departments, against the usurpation of the Directory, when we consider that the principal part of the Electors returned are the very individuals so arbitrarily deposed by them—and when we recollect that whenever the Election have transferred into the the Legislative Assemblies a predominant, or even a dangerous portion of integrity, it has been doomed to perish by the canon of Vendemaire , or to banishment upon the torrid lands, and under vertical suns of Guiana , we cannot, but anticipate the fate of these new Deputies, the last of the French.
For surely it is impossible to suspect, from any experience of the past, or combination
of the future; that the present Government of France will respect the liberty of the Electors, and permit their own usurpation to be replaced by any just or legal constitution either in name, either Royalist or Republican, Regicides and Usurpers, and Traitors alike to the lawful monarchy, and constitutional rights upon its citizens, are they not prepared to risk the death or exile of every Deputy returned, of whom they suspect either Loyalty or Freedom to be the principal or the guide? In what Department have we seen a return without one of these passports to destruction affixed to it? Here we are told they elected Royalists, and there Anarchists; and in some places the Primary Assemblies have separated, and made separate returns. The first probably of one of those devoted classes, and the second of the other. At Paris and Lyons, the hustings have been deserted. The presence of Barras, and the memory of Collot d'Herbois, very naturally operate the same effects; and we are forced, in spite of the natural desire of seeing a termination of tyranny, or even a change of tyrants, to congratulate these two great cities in having preferred the best of their inhabitants for some more promising occasion, some happier prospect, than to swell the number of exiles, or mix their blood with the martyrs already immolated by the Directory—or the Army. While the part of the Republic is contented to remain the instrument of the tyrants, or even the spectator of the miseries of their country, we can foresee nothing but unprofitable struggles, and eternal proscrptions. Have we forgotten that Pichegru had a majority, and that the majority was banished and expelled? or have we never heard that the 18th of Vendemaire was the Counter-Revolution of the Committee of Public Safety, and the colleagues of Robespierre?
Bulletin of the Primary Assemblies.
It appears that in the South, the opening of the Primary Assemblies has been almost everywhere followed by political convulsions. On the day preceding the opening of the Assembly at Montpellier, there were found written round the column of Liberty the following inscriptions: The first contained these words:—People, rise; break thy chains on the skulls of those who have forged them. The second—Thou sleepest, Brutus, and Rome is in fetters. The third—Kiss the hand that oppresses thee. At Pexeras there were violent disturbances, and the Municipal Council was insulted. At Gignac, Mont & Marlon, at Grasse, Brignoles, Urdé, violent commotions, and double returns. At Pezenas, the Municipal Officers deposed by the Directory were reinstated. Throughout the whole Department of Dordogne the electors seem determined to return the same persons to the Legislative Body, whom the Directory rejected last year. At Bourdeaux, the Members of the Central Bureau, lately displaced by the Directory, have been nominated Electors. At Toulouse, the Anarchists have met with no resistance; and in several Cantons of the Lower Seine they have been equally triumphant. The Paris papers report that Gen. Suwarow, on arriving at Vienna, issued the following order to his Aids de Camp. "One hour to put things in readiness, and another for setting off. George shall go with me in my carriage, the other three shall go in sledges. George shall go to the bankers', Thomas, for a loan of 25 thousand rubles, for the expenses of the journey. "Quick—make haste, for I go on matters of pleasure, but for serious business. "If I have sung bals like a church warden here—I shall howl like a tyger in Italy."

SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 1.
ALARMS.
THIS war has produced so many prodigies of crime, not before recorded in the history of nations, and such dreadful examples of perfidy, corruption and treachery, as ought to make all governments to fear and tremble for their existence.
The King of Naples was a mild, beneficent and patriotic Prince; from a view to the happiness of his subjects, however mistaken, he had studied to preserve a good understanding even with the insolent usurper tyrants of France, until he discovered that nothing would turn them from their real design to revolutionize his country, and to make it the seat of war and rapine.
He took the field with a large and well appointed military force, under the command of a gallant and experienced officer; but notwithstanding a short gleam of success at first, he was forced, in a few weeks, to fly from domestic treachery to the British fleet, to avoid being massacred, or given up to the hands of his ferocious enemies.
What a lesson this is to all the governments, which by the protection of providence do yet exist! Can any thing prove more strongly the necessity to scrutinize every department of Office, civil and military, but especially the latter?—to bring every man, as far as possible, to the ordeal; and where there is the smallest reason to suspect a collusion with the enemy, or a strong disposition to favor him, instantly to cashier the guilty person.
Hear then, ye guardians of the public welfare!—Ye watchmen on the walls of our Zion!—and thou, great and much respected Chief! hear the voice of wisdom, speaking from the tombs of martyred monarchies and republics:
"PURGE YOUR COUNTRY, but especially all its public offices, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, OF DOMESTIC TRAITORS."
COMMUNICATION.
MR. PENNO,
It must give the highest satisfaction to the citizens of Philadelphia and its connections, to learn that the quarantine is performed by the ships of war and other vessels off the Lazaretto with the utmost punctuality; and every regulation of the board of health, promptly and cheerfully attended unto, much to the honour of the masters and owners.
PHILANTHROPUS.
IN a Paris Journal of the 12th March, appears dislocated in positive terms, the motive to peace with this country on the part of France. As the war is growing general and the aspect of their affairs becoming more and more serious, they begin to think that in a multitude of enemies there is danger, and to "feel the necessity" of shewing a "certain degree" of condescension towards neutral powers.
Extract of a letter from Surinam, 31th January, 1799.
"The first eight that were landed at Sina-mary, are reduced to two, Murinains, Trou-gou, Bourdon, La Villeharois, Rovéré, Brother are dead: Piehegn and Barthelomi, have escaped. Barbé Marbois and Lafond Ladebat have survived and resisted the dreadful contagion. Both have been very sick, and have anxiously solicited for a trial"

From a London paper.
A woman dressed in deep mourning waited yesterday afternoon at the Garden-gate, St. James's in the anxious expectation, when their Majesties stepped into their carriages, of presenting a petition; but being prevented by the officers on guard from approaching near enough, she retired to some distance from the place, and as the coach passed had the resolution to throw it into the window; it falling into the Princess Elizabeth's lap, her royal highness gave it to the Queen—the poor woman appeared quite overjoyed to think that she had been so successful.

London, April 7.
The renewal of hostilities on the Rhine appears to have given increased vigour to the insurrection in Belgium. According to letters from Antwerp, on the 23d ult. the whole of the Compagnie was again in arms and the revolt had assumed so formidable an aspect as to occasion the return of some corps of French troops which had left Brussels, Mechlin, &c. to join the army on the Rhine.
The American ship Washington, of Boston, Cunningham, master, was lately attacked by a French privateer, in the Straights of Gibraltar. After an action of 30 minutes, the Frenchman attempted to board, but failing in the attempt, was obliged to sheer off with considerable loss.
An article from Rastadt, dated March 25, says, the Prussian Minister insists on the French evacuating the Right Bank of the Rhine; that the troops of Wurtzbourg, Bamberg, and Hesse Darmstadt, in pay of the Emperor, had joined the Austrian army; and that, tho' the Austrian and other ministers were about to depart, those of France, Hanover and Saxony had intimated that they would continue.

TRIAL OF FRIES.
William W. Woodward takes the liberty of informing the citizens of the United States and those of this state, that he has been requested by the Counsel to suspend the publication of the first trial of John Fries, until that of the second takes place.

JAMES HUMPHREYS
Respectfully presents his Acknowledgment to those Gentlemen who have been pleased to subscribe to his proposition for a Paper. CURRENT in this City: It having now been suggested to him, that a DAILY EVENING ADVERTISER with the MARINE NEWS, a PRICE-CURRENT, &c. on the following Plan, will be more likely to meet general Encouragement—
HE PROPOSES, And trusts it will meet with their approbation, To publish on Monday the 17th of June, And to continue it to such as are pleased to encourage it,
THE PHILADELPHIA Daily Evening Advertiser
Header"> AND
MARINE REGISTER,
On the following conditions: IT will be printed on four pages, large quarto; it will once a week at least, every Monday, and oftener as occasion may require, contain the Prices Current of this City, with the Dates on each article; the Prices Current of the different ports, with those of Europe and the West-Indies; a Vessel they can be obtained accurate; also the Prices of Stock, Coffee of Exchange, &c. &c. with a regular account of Port Entries, inward and outward, and the Marine Intelligence, foreign and domestic.
The price to subscribers within the city and liberties, to whom it will be delivered at their house, will be Three Dollars the Year, one and an half dollar to be paid at the expiration of three months, and the remainder at the end of the year. To subscribers at a greater distance, to whom it will be sent agreeable to their directions, the price will be Four Dollars the Year, two to be paid at the time of subscribing, and two at the end of the year.
The utility of a paper to this city on the foregoing plan, properly conducted, must appear obvious to every one; and it is surely unnecessary to say any thing of the great advantage it must have in the Advertising Line being particularly calculated to serve the interests of trade and business, and of course from the nature of it, as well as from its low terms, must command general circulation.
Subscriptions and Advertisements are received by said Humphreys, at his office in 3d Street, opposite the Bank of the United States. June 1. Sat. 31.
