Answer of the French Ministers. THE undersigned have received the answer of the Deputation of the Empire to the proposal for the Rhine as the boundaries of the French Republic.
The moment their viciousness is demonstrated, the result is overthrown. The motives which justify the demand of the French Republic remain in full force.
Such is the object at present to be settled, and not that series of questions which the deputation of the empire endeavours to substitute in room of the true object of discussion.

The answer which the French ministers shall return to this note, will be of considerable importance with respect to the progress of the negotiation.
The greater part of the Envoys from Switzerland are returning. Emigrants from Berne are already in Suabia, and the project of forming all Switzerland into one indivisible Republic daily gains ground.

PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY EVENING, April 20.
Yesterday the House of Representatives of the United States, went into a committee of the whole on the State of the Union, on the bill to provide an additional armament for the further protection of the trade of the United States...
The ship India Packet, is arrived at Boston from Canton.
A letter was received yesterday from Norfolk, which contained the following intelligence:—A ship from England, in a short passage, has just gone by on her way to Baltimore...
The Mail from Boston now arrives in four days. We received papers from thence of Monday the 16th inst. this day.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Baltimore, to his correspondent in this city, dated April 16. "The publication of the Instructions to our Envoys, in France, and their account of proceedings, seem to excite all classes of people in the appropriation of the moderate, yet firm tone taken by our Executive...
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Virginia, to his friend in this city, dated April 12. "We have seen the proceedings of Congress as low down as their request of the President's instructions to our Envoys, and of their communications to him, with which request we find he has readily complied.
Query—If the resolution, memorials &c. lately presented to Congress from various parts of the Union may not have been in a considerable degree, the result of letters such as are mentioned in the above extract, and of which we have seen one specimen lately published in this city?
Query—If France encouraged such letters among the means, which she alleged to possess in our country, as sufficient to enable her with the French party in America, to throw the blame, which will attend the rupture of the negotiations on the federalists?
MR. FENNO. For a few days after the President's instructions to our Envoys sent to France, and their dispatches to him, were published, the astonishment and horror every where excited and expressed, struck us forcibly our Jacobins, that a universal silence prevailed among them; and many good men, candid and honorable themselves, expressed their hopes, that the means of conviction would produce a reformation.
and the boast of the friends of republican-ism, is, from the same cause, rushing to ruin. With all these things passing before us, the leaders of a faction have dared to insult our understanding and our virtue, by propounding the French revolution as a model for imitation...
One half of the deformities of this picture are not yet exhibited. From the commencement of their revolution, the French have practiced against us a catalogue of un-pardonable crimes. They have endeavoured to seduce us into war—they have charged us with the base crime of national ingratitude...
The first attempt to exhibit their skill is displayed by their creature Bache. He has undertaken to prove that Talleyrand, the French minister of Foreign Affairs was not authorized by his government, to make the corrupt proposals which he did make to our ministers.
But is there no evidence that Talleyrand acted by the direction of his government? Permit me to ask, whether it be possible to suppose that he would thus have put his fame, his property, his life in the power of our ministers?
MR. FENNO. For want of better employment, I have been dipping into that Fagaro of Callender, which he dignifies with the title of Sketches of the History of America. Like his "Political Progress" it may be said to contain "the most astonishing concentration of abuse" against the administration of this country...
them ample amends by observing, that "its operations tended to weaken the vortex of influence, which ten millions of capital gave to the Bank of the United States."
The impartial historian soon betrays a total ignorance of the conduct and composition of his party, when he so feelingly complains of the oppressive superiority of the American landed interest.
But whether the historian has made a riparian, it must be allowed, that in general, he is strictly au Pas, and preserves the bold and many features of the jacobin school.
It is highly probable, that this expatriated Scot, this fugitive from the pillory, "if better he belong not to the" gibbet, has fixed his residence in Pennsylvania from a very natural predilection, for the mildness of her penal code.
Is it not monstrous that such infamous revilers should meet with encouragement? I anticipate the reply. Have you not your Porcupine? I entreat the pardon of a virtuous man, for one moment contrailing him with such a knave.
If this Callender may be supposed to speak the sentiments of the faction, they are now rejoicing in the prospect of the difficulties, if not of the subjugation, of their country.
But this is a flight far above the wing that has been steeped in the debasing filth of jacobinism. In that sink of corruption from whence have issued crimes, compared with which the enormities of past ages sink into mere peccadillos...
gun, and he will be supported too, by all that deserve the name of Americans. By those who know how to estimate the blessings of true liberty; and good government, and who un-biassed by the alarming success of vice and impiety, still place their reliance on a final retribution of eternal justice.

ARMY OF ITALY.
ROME IS FREE! The people have resumed their rights of sovereignty, by proclaiming their independence—by giving to themselves the government of ancient Rome, and by constituting the Roman republic.
The following are some of the articles respecting this memorable event: On the 27th Pluviose (Feb. 15) the people repaired in great crowds to the place Campa Vaino. It was there that with shouts they proclaimed their liberty, and that the Roman republic was reconstituted by an act signed by several thousands of the citizens.
procession passed through the city, in the mid of an immense crowd of people, who were elected by the most holy enthusiasm.
The general, pronounced, at the capitol, the following discourse:
"Mates of Cato, of Pompey, of Brutus, of Cicero, and of Hortensius! Receive the homage of free Frenchmen, in that capitol where you have so often defended the rights of the people, and reflected a lustre on the Roman Republic!
The procession afterwards moved onward amidst repeated acclamations of "success to Liberty!—Long live the French and Roman Republics!"—made the tour of the place, and passed again through the city to return to camp, accompanied every where with cries of joy and gratitude.

PROPOSAL, For Publishing by Subscription, an ENQUIRY INTO THE ORIGIN OF EPIDEMIC DISEASES.
THE Letters to Dr. Currie, which I published last autumn, led me to an investigation of the origin and phenomena of pestilential diseases in other countries, as well as in the United States. In the prosecution of the subject, new facts and principles continually opened to my view, and finally determined me to trace back the history of such diseases as far as the records of history extend. For this purpose, I have examined the public libraries in New-York, New-Haven, Cambridge and Boston, with a view to obtain all the material facts which can illustrate the subject, and I have nearly collected all the materials for the proposed work.
The facts collected will enable me to demonstrate that many of the common ideas respecting pestilential epidemics, are unfounded or extremely incorrect; and this in consequence of medical writers considering an epidemic disease as a detached or isolated phenomenon in a particular country; rather than as connected with other epidemics or other phenomena of nature in various parts of the world. The facts I have collected lead to certain deductions which are surprising to myself, and which will probably be new to many others. Much light will be thrown on this dark and perplexing subject, as well as on natural philosophy.
The proposed work will make a full sized octavo volume; and executed well on fine paper, cannot be afforded at less than two dollars, bound, with the usual allowance to book-sellers. As the compilation will cost not only great labor, but considerable expense, no more copies will be printed than to supply subscribers. The book will be ready for subscription early in the coming summer, and the holders of proposals will be good enough to return them to No. 40, Pine-street, by the first of May.
Subscriptions received by the book-sellers in New-York, Philadelphia, Albany, New-Haven, Hartford, New-London, Providence, Boston, Baltimore and Charleston. NOAH WEBSTER, JUN.

Salisbury Estate.
THE Subscriber, proposing to contract his business, offers this Estate for sale, on moderate terms. On it are one Bland and three Air Furnaces, a complete Boring Machine, and a very good grist Mill, with two pair of stones; also a good Forge, all in perfect repair, as are all the Water Works connected with these various branches. The Air Furnaces were lately built for the purpose of casting Cannon for this State—There are about two thousand acres of Land, one half of which is under wood, the other very fine arable Land, producing the best Hay and Pasture. The Cannon lately manufactured there, fully proves the excellency of the metal, which is superior to any in this country, and probably equal to any in the world; for none of forty-nine guns lately made, although some of the 24 were bored into 32 pounders, have failed on proving. The situation is very eligible, particularly for this branch of manufacture, and a place of arms lying in the state of Connecticut, and only 30 miles from several rivers on the Hudson's river, and having every advantage that can result from a plenty of water issuing from a large natural pond, very near the Furnace, and which may be converted into a variety of other useful purposes. The purchaser can be accommodated with all the stock and utensils, and have possession on or before the first of June next, and preparation may be made in the meantime for going into Bland immediately thereafter, for every part will be delivered in good order, with some coal, Ores, &c. For terms, apply to Mr. Joseph Anthony, in Philadelphia; David Brooks, Esq. one of the Representatives in Congress for this State; Mr. David Wareman, on the premises, or to the proprietor in New-York.
