The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19.
Yesterday arrived in this port the brig Amiable Creole, Captain Eldridge, from Hamburg; whence she failed the 18th September, and brings gazettes to that date, from which is extracted the following intelligence, being the latest yet received from the Continent of Europe. [A. D. A.]
LOWER ELBE, Sept. 16.
In the last number of this paper it is stated, by mistake, that "Gen. Korakow will act in concert with the Archduke;" it should be, "in concert with Gen. Hotze;" for the Archduke, as stated in a preceding number, had left Switzerland some days ago, to take the command of the army of the Rhine, which will be concentrated in Suabia, and, including the troops under Generals Meerfeld and Sztarray, is estimated at 70,000 men. The army of the Prince of Conde will, in all probability, likewise join the Archduke's army; it will arrive at the place of its destination before the end of this month, and make its first essay against Alsace, supported on both sides by the armies of Switzerland and of the Rhine.
The next grand Russian army, mentioned some weeks ago, is to consist of 70,000 men, and will be ready about the latter end of autumn, to serve as supplementary forces wherever they may be required.
All Danish vessels have been forbidden to enter into any of the Russian ports, and those already entered are ordered to depart in fourteen days, which is certainly the forerunner of an open rupture between two Northern Courts.
They write from Pavia, under the date of the 1st Sept. that the last and strongest fort, Santa Maria, in the gulph of Spezzia, has surrendered with 1200 men, and 126 pieces of cannon. This news was brought to Pavia by express.
Tortona, which capitulated on the 23d of August, was to surrender on the 11th inst. if the garrison was not relieved by that time. Attempts for this purpose have been several times made by the French, and often frustrated. Hostages have been reciprocally exchanged, the surrender of this important fortress has in all probability taken place before now. The news of the surrender of the citadel of Perugia, seventy miles from Rome, was brought to Florence by express, on the 30th ult. The garrison, who are prisoners of war were still provided with two months provision, besides cannon and ammunition.
The grand army of Suwarow was in its former position on the 28th; the head quarters were at Asso; and the whole position indicated an expectation of the last attack from General Championet, who threatened to enter Piedmont, from the side of Grenoble, with twenty-five thousand men, mostly conscripts. For this reason General Kray, whose army had advanced as far as Novara, on its way to Switzerland, was countermanded to Acqui.
In the Genoese, it is reported a formidable insurrection has taken place against the French, which if true, will be a great impediment to them, as they have more to fear from the inhabitants of this than those of any other part of Italy.
The Vienna Court Gazette of the 7th of September, states, "According to reports from Italy, the hostile General, (Jourdan) was expected to arrive on the 27th, to take the chief command of the French army."
"Of the enemy's troops, some large detachments had pushed forward to Saffa, Ovado, and the district of Vignolo, of which, that occupying the post of Ovado, in the Orba valley, has returned."
"To observe the enemy's motions the better, a division of General Ott, with the brigade of Major General Palfy, was ordered towards Fossano, by Alba; and Field Marshal Kray arrived with his corps, on the 28th August, near Alessandria, after having left the brigade of General Laudohn for the support of Colonel Strauch and Prince Rohan."
"A report from the head quarters of General Klenau mentions, that he ordered Lieutenant Colonel Mihanovich to attack the enemy, posted behind the Stura, towards Sestri, who drove him from his positions in spite of his superior forces, and pursued him as far as Rapallo, whither the enemy took refuge in the greatest disorder. We took one officer and sixteen privates prisoners."
"A dispatch from his Royal Highness the Archduke, of the 1st September, purports that the enemy, almost at the same time he attacked the left wing of the chief army in Switzerland, a fresh corps, pretended to be 30,000 men strong, collected near Mannheim, under General Muller, passed the Rhine on the 26th at night, and divided itself into three columns; the first for Heilbrun, where the advanced guard is already supposed to have arrived; the second for Heidelberg, Simplen, and Knetten; and the third marching for Bruchsal."
"On the official report of General Count Sztarray to his Royal Highness Prince Charles, several divisions of troops were detached to Donaueschingen, in order to act, according to circumstances, as the enemy's intentions may develop themselves; since, some troops were ordered back towards Mentz and Kehl."
"Since the re-conquering of the kingdom of Naples and Mantua, and the victory of Novi, the reign of the French has ceased in Italy. The Imperial Royal troops, now
begin to extirpate the remains of those country plagues, and with them the Italian Jacobins also, because the revolutionary rage has entirely degenerated their blood."
"Besides the already mentioned conquest of Lucca, Leghorn, Pontremoli, Livizzano, Borgo di Tarro, St. Croce, and Varese, we have to give a short review of the farther progress made in Italy. Perugia was surrounded, and bombarded on the 28th July, by the Arrétines. The garrison, consisting of 200 French and 1000 insurgents, capitulated, quitted the town and retired to the fort."
"The enemy evacuated Uffa, and left three pieces of cannon behind them; two others were taken in the pursuit."
"The fortress of Sarfanella has likewise capitulated: The garrison liberated, leaving 12 pieces of cannon, 2 mortars, and a considerable quantity of provisions and ammunition."
"Fort St. Maria, in the gulph of Spezzia is surrounded by the Imperialis."
"Fort Lexici surrendered on the summons of the captain of horse, Zechmeier; the garrison are prisoners of war. Nine cannon, and a great quantity of ammunition were found there. Farther the enemy evacuated Fort Theresa, leaving ten 24 pounders and two howitzers, 120 pounders, besides Fort St. Lorenzo, with ten 24 pounders, and three feluccas. In the whole gulph of Spezzia the enemy only keep Fort St. Maria, with about 50 cannon, 4 mortars, and 380 men."
N.B. It seems that the above direct news from Italy, of the surrender of this last fort, and the citadel of Perugia, was not known in Vienna, when the Court Gazette was printed."
"The privateers under the command of Col. d'Alpre, before Leghorn, have again taken five ships bound to that port."
"The enemy also quitted Singaglia, which port was immediately occupied by the combined Turco-Russian troops. The English minister Windham, published at Florence, the conquest of the two strong towns of Capua and Gaeta, with Terracina, by the Neapolitans and their allies. In those three places 6500 French were made prisoners, and sent to Toulon, to be exchanged for Neapolitans."
"Rome is now the real object of attack; and on the departure of the mail from Florence, on the 15th August, the army was only two hours march from Rome."
"The inhabitants of Capua would not capitulate with any other power but the English, from fear of the Ottomans."
This Gazette also contains further accounts from Constantinople, dated 23th July stating, "that when Buonaparte arrived at Gaza, he narrowly escaped being murdered by his own troops, among whom there was an insurrection, which was at length appeased by General Kleber. The army being mustered in this city, it was found reduced to 2,800 men! With the shattered remains of a once formidable legion, Buonaparte commenced his journey through the Desert, seated on a camel, attended by some of his officers, at the head of his troops. Sir Sydney Smith was gone to Cyprus, to prepare every thing for the attack of Alexandria, Damietta, and Aboukir. The Grand Vizir was marching rapidly, and had already arrived at Mishe, in the course of 213 hours, and was to reach Damascus, the rendezvous of the army against Egypt, in the course of 123 hours more."
"When the French had returned to Jaffa, the Naphule (Samarians) in their company, fell upon the poor inhabitants, murdering men, women, and children, and those devastations only ceased on Buonaparte's departure, which was occasioned by the approach of the bashaw of Jerusalem, who put the mountaineers to flight, and fell upon the rear of the French."
"Sir Sydney Smith received into his boats all the distressed fugitives, both friends and enemies, and took them under his protection."
HAGUE, September 10. The French troops with our army having yesterday been joined by all the reinforcements expected, it is thought that an attack will be made upon the enemy to-day. This will prove, that the negotiation at our head-quarters, with Gen. Don and the other English Deputies, has not had any effect; tho' there is reason to suppose that Prussia has had some share in them, a courier has had dispatched from hence to Berlin on the 4th inst. and it being the general opinion that the late inactivity was caused by the negotiations.
Yesterday afternoon an English brig carried off one of our telegraphs from the coast of Nordwyk, about 12 miles distance from hence.
At Antwerp, large magazines of corn, hay, and oats, are collected in the castle, and many troops and great quantities of artillery are passing through that place for Bergen-op-Zoom. Six thousand men are on their march, from the frontiers of France, for our Republic.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10. The rumour, that Arnheim, and Nimeguen were in the possession of the troops of the hereditary prince of Orange, is wholly void of foundation. Some emigrants and peasants in Gueldres, have indeed made some disturbances, but they were dispersed by the armed citizens of Arnheim and some French troops.
etc. batteries have been raised, to keep off the English, in case they should attempt to approach our city in boats from the Zuyder Sea. Citizens of the requisition arrive here from every quarter, and proceed to Haarlem from whence they afterwards return with marching orders for Muiden, Nuarden etc.
All armed citizens who are at Haarlem and its environs, and who went thither from this and other places, are obliged to return and go to Muiden and elsewhere; the reason for it is not publicly known. The city of Haarlem suffers much from the great number of troops which are quartered there more of whom are still expected. Every house has received orders to prepare quarters for two, three, or four men.
Some of our public prints say that Admiral Storey, on delivering up his sword, declared, he surrendered to the English, and not to the prince of Orange.
WESTPHALIA, Sept. 11. The Prussian troops which marched from Westphalia, consists of 3000 infantry, 2000 cavalry, and some artillery. On the 25th, the two battalions of Billa and count Wedel will march from Osnabruck, and proceed, by way of Iburg, Glandorf, Tegle, Munster, and Dulmer, to Wefel, where they will arrive on the 22d for what purpose is not positively known, but it is generally believed that they will occupy the frontiers.
PAVIA, September 1. By express, we have received authentic intelligence, that the Allies have conquered the Gulph of Spezzia, and taken 121 cannon.
MILAN, August 29. Yesterday morning the head-quarters of the Austro-Russian army were still at Asso, from whence they are, however, soon to be removed.
From the present position of the allied armies, it might be concluded, that an attack by Gen. Championet upon Piedmont is expected from the side of Grenoble. He is said to have collected an army of 25,000 men, which consists, however, mostly of new conscripts. The inhabitants of the valleys of Luzerna and St. Martino, in Piedmont, towards France, are all under arms, have declared against the French.
Gen. Kray, the deliverer of Italy, who has been here since Monday, set off this morning for Novara, from whence he will bring back to Acqui the division of the army, which he was to have led into the Valais, the danger in that quarter being over. The two battalions of Belgiojoso, which were garrisoned here, will leave us to-day, and are to be replaced by two battalions of Stuart.
Creditable letters state that a formidable revolution has broken out in the Genoese; that the French are carrying off their cannon from Genoa, from whence they have taken 13 of the principal inhabitants as hostages. The dreadful want of all the necessaries of life drives the people to despair, and accelerates the retreat of the French.
STRASBURG, September 7. On the 5th instant, in the evening, 300 of our national guards set off from hence for Fort Neuben and Lauterburg. All the movable columns in the cantons of our department have received orders to occupy the Rhine, as all our troops will march to the right bank of that river.
Yesterday there was much fighting before Kehl, where the Austrians have considerably increased, but the result is not yet known. We have likewise not learnt anything new from the army of the Rhine and Danube.
MANHEIM, Sept. 7. Last night the bombardment of Philipsburg commenced. The roaring of cannon lasted, almost uninterruptedly, from 11 at night till 9 o'clock in the morning, since which, however, but few shots have been fired.
FRANKFORT, September 10. The distressing report is circulating here, to-day, that the city of Philipsburg had nearly been reduced to a heap of ruins by the bombardment of the French. The report of the garrison having already capitulated is not credited here.
Our neighbourhood assumes a more warlike aspect every day. The French suffer the armed inhabitants quietly to advance. They have not even any cannon on the ramparts of Caltel, the garrison of which place consists only of a battalion of grenadiers.
LOWER ELBE, September 18.
In addition to the news from Constantinople, given in our paper of yesterday, we have to state, that on the 10th of Aug. two expresses arrived from the commanders of the Turkish land and sea forces destined to act against Egypt, with the confirmation of Aboukir having been taken by the Turks. The intrenchments made on the coast by the French, as well as the city, were stormed on the 12th of July, and it is said that 500 French were killed and 30 taken prisoners, the rest betook themselves to flight towards Alexandria, whither they were pursued when the express came away. Another column of the Turkish army marched against Damietta. These expresses, and an officer from the captain Pacha, were most handsomely rewarded by the Grand Signior.
From the armies of Italy, nothing has transpired since the last direct intelligence.
The remainder of the French army is said to be encamped between Coni and Mondovi, and, as Novi is not yet taken, they may perhaps endeavor to defend their mountainous situation, in hopes of being joined and supported by the army of General Championet.
Gen. Brune has officially notified, that 12,500 men would speedily, and successively, arrive for the defence of Holland: thus, if the Anglo-Russian army do not speedily make farther progress in getting the cities of Haarlem, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam, into their possession, the war may last longer in Holland than they have imagined.
CONSTANTINOPLE, August 10.
Yesterday the Porte received intelligence that Kiasse Mustapha Pacha, assisted by the Anglo-Russian and Turkish fleets, had taken Aboukir and Rosetta, in Egypt. The allied fleets have now opened a communication in Egypt; the united troops are marching against Alexandria, and much appears to have been effected towards conquering Egypt. Several sacks with ears, of each of the enemy as were killed, have arrived here. The Grand Signior has presented the Tartar, who brought this intelligence, with a valuable piece, and a pension for life.
This moment a ship arrived here from St. John d'Acre, having a number of Turks on board, who were wounded in the battle of Aboukir. The troops of the united fleets, and the other Turkish troops amounted to 40,000 men. To secure Aboukir, the bulk of Alexandria and of Egypt, the French had supplied it with troops from Alexandria and other places. This battle of Aboukir, in which Sir Sidney Smith commanded the Turks, was very obstinate and bloody. A great number fell on both sides, and 1500 French were put to the sword.
The Captain Pacha with his fleet, is still near the Dardanelles. Several Russian ships of war have arrived in the Black Sea, with ammunition for the combined fleets. Some strangers have been arrested here, as spies for the French.
Three Frenchmen who sometime ago, attempted to set fire to all the ships in our harbour, and caused a damage of a million and an half of piastres, have been executed.
The Paris letters of the 10th instant contains a proclamation of that active minister, Bernadotte, to the French generals, commanders in chief; stating, that "if victory, for sometime faithless, has delayed to return to the banners of the republic, the Directory knew all the cause of this fatal adjournment; the armies have struggled against unfavourable climates, against the horrors of want, treason, and all the calamities combined and dashed on our country by the genius of counter-revolution. I have conceived and felt your situation; the subsistence of the soldiers carried off and robbed; instead of clothes they received hideous rags, pay in arrears, the cavalry neglected; the hospitals forsaken; the artillery abandoned; all the parts of service delivered to disorganization."
"But let the armies rely on the justice of its magistrates: tell them the speedy result of their complaints. Their pay shall be settled, their subsistence secured; the cavalry shall be remounted; the artillery shall be put in motion; sufficient funds in fine, shall nourish war, until war can nourish itself again," &c. &c.
None of the English mails had arrived at Hamburg, last night, but it was reported that two packets were at Cuxhaven in the morning.
HAGUE, September 14.
The following letter from General Brune to the Batavian Directory was read yesterday in the first Chamber.
Head-Quarters at Alkmaar, Sept. 12. Citizen Directors—The chief of the General Staff has informed you that we attacked the enemy yesterday. The day would have been decisive for us had all the Corps done their duty alike; we have however retained the positions we had before the battle and have even taken some others nearer to the enemy.
Some Corps behaved well and in them are brave men whose names deserve to be made known. As soon as the Generals of Division have sent me in their reports I shall send you the names of those who are entitled to praise and reward; the cowards shall be dismissed from the army and then I hope our efforts against the enemy will be crowned with success.
Letter from Adjutant General D'Ardenne Chief of the General Staff to the Batavian Directory:
Head-Quarters at Alkmaar, Sept. 11.
Citizen Directors—As soon as the General in Chief had assembled an army nearly equal to that of the enemy, he resolved, agreeable to your wishes, on a general attack. This morning at 4 o'clock, pursuant to his orders, the army marched in three columns against the enemy. The right wing commanded by lieutenant general Daendels was charged with the attack of Benigeburgh and St. Maarten. The column of the centre, under general Dumonceau, was posted with its right wing near the left wing of general Daendels, and its left below Crabendam, on the right border of the Canal of Alkmaar, as far as the Zyp.
The enemy was entrenched behind the Dyke of the Zyp and had raised batteries both along the dyke and in his front. By the vigor of our attack he was at first obliged to abandon his advanced posts and to retreat behind the dyke. The French forced him to abandon Camp; several times they drove the enemy to his last intrenchment, but the fire of the enemy, who was entrenched not only behind the dyke but also beyond the canal below the sluice of the Zyp to the environs of Petten, opposed obstacles which the heroic courage of the French could not overcome. Several of the troops attempted to swim over the canal; about 30 were drowned with arms in their hands; by the courage which was generally displayed it could not be remarked, that there were any new raised men among the troops. They remained masters of the field of battle and occupy Camp and Slaperdyk: they had about 650 wounded; the Brigade General David is wounded mortally, and many officers, among others 22 in two battalions of the 42d half brigade.
The English not having left their intrenchments, their loss cannot be exactly ascertained, but it is thought to be very considerable.
ALKMAAR, Sept. 1.
The battle of yesterday lasted till 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and cost a great many lives on both sides. Notwithstanding our attack did not wholly succeed, we gained more than we lost, and the army is advanced a league and a half farther. If all the troops had done their duty as well as the greater part, we might have gained a signal victory. But part of the Batavian troops, who are unworthy of the name, through cowardice or treachery, frustrated our hopes. One of the battalions, in particular, caused the lines, which had already been carried by Dumonceau, to be abandoned. This battalion is sent back from the army, and 14 men, officers and privates out of 140, who gave the signal to take flight, are to be shot.
This morning our whole garrison turned out again, and are to lie on their arms all night; probably another attack is to take place tomorrow morning early. The English do not stand against our brave defenders in the open field; they are only strong behind their intrenchments. They are posted behind the Zyp-dyke, before all the avenues to which they have raised batteries. But, let it cost what it may, every effort must be made to drive them from their intrenchments before they receive the reinforcements they are expecting.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 12.
A detachment of 6000 French troops is on its march for the Batavian Republic. The day before yesterday, 1000 men set out from Antwerp, for Breda. The same day two squadrons of hussars, coming from the interior of France, passed by here without stopping, for Holland. Yesterday, after the arrival of a messenger, sent by General Brune to General Tilly, commander in chief in the new united departments, orders were sent to the garrisons of Liege, Namur, and Ghent, to march for Holland, to reinforce the French army in that country. Some troops are also detached from the neighborhood of Ostend, for the same destination. These are to be replaced by 30 companies of veterans from the interior, some of whom are already arrived on the coast.
Several Generals, Adjutants, and other officers, appointed by the Directory to command in Holland, have passed through here within these three days. According to letters from the Rhine, it seems that the Archduke Charles, at the head of an army of 50,000 men, means to remove the theatre of war to the Lower Rhine. In consequence thereof, the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein will be put in a state of defence. Orders are given to repair the head of the bridge near Neuwied, and make new intrenchments, which will be furnished with a great quantity of artillery.
The war minister has ordered the forming of the magazines at Luxembourg to be completed as soon as possible, forbidding any thing to be taken away that might be serviceable to the armies.
During the night of the 9th inst. a messenger passed through here, on his way to Paris, with dispatches. This messenger said, several regiments of Prussian troops had received orders to leave the Wefer to go to the Rhine, between Wesel and Emmerich. The same night, several other messengers from Paris to Holland passed this city.
Since the day before yesterday, 20 sail of English ships have appeared off Ostend. It is thought that the third expedition from England is intended against the island of Zealand, or Belgium.
The preparations of defence continue on the coast with zeal. In case of necessity all the moveable columns in the neighbouring departments of old France, will march to the coast.
Some days ago, some gens d'armes, with four troopers of the 24th regiment of horse, escorted three priests, who were condemned to transportation: they were attacked in the Ardennes by 30 or 40 countrymen, armed with guns: three gens d'armes were mortally wounded, and the priests rescued.
The garrisons of Maubeuge and Moulines have received orders to march for Ostend, and the inhabitants are invited to take up arms, to guard the arsenals and to keep peace and tranquility. Besides these corps, there are troops continually marching thro' here for Holland.
All the troops that can be spared from Valenciennes, Lisle, Douay, Dunkirk, &c. are marching to the coast. The works before Ehrenbreitstein are completed, and the place is provisioned for 4000 men, for one year; there are 105 pieces of cannon on the ramparts and outworks.
A corps of veterans is arrived from the interior, to organize and train the levy of conscripts in Belgium, which is accelerated by all means possible.
Several schuyts are expected here with the wounded from Holland: orders are given to prepare the hospitals for them. It is said that several military hospitals will be formed on the frontiers of Holland.
VIENNA, September 7.
Gen. Bellegarde, it is said, will go to the combined armies on the lower Rhine as Imperial Commissary.
The Russian gen. Rosenberg is recalled from the army of Italy, to be employed in another department.
Major Hopfenblatt is arrived here as Plenipotentiary of the Landgrave of Hesse Darmstadt, to arrange several circumstances connected with the present situation of affairs; but principally to attempt to justify the treaty concluded by the Landgrave with France. Baron Gemmingen, from Carlsruhe, is here upon the same business.
Accounts from Constantinople, of the 10th ult. state, that the French garrison of Damiette, hearing of the fate of their brethren in arms at Aboukir, quitted that place

voluntarily. Buonaparte nearly lost his life in an insurrection at Gaza. The troops he had with him in that place amounted only to 2800 men.
The journey of the Emperor of Russia to Vienna is not to take place, but the Empress is expected here, at the nuptials of the Grand Princess, and will remain here during the winter.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, Sept. 2.
The counter-orders which gen. Kray has suddenly received not to proceed to Switzerland, were given in consequence of the new arrangement, according to which the army of Italy is to consist entirely of Imperial troops; that of Switzerland will be composed of Russians and troops in the pay of England.
The death of the Pope is universally lamented, and his obsequies will be observed throughout Italy with the greatest solemnity. According to law, the Conclave must commence on the 11th day. Cardinals Gerardi, Zelada, and Mattei have no great hopes to succeed to the papal dignity. It is generally believed that Cardinal Ruffo will be elected; he has just entered his 55th year, the age required by law. The College of Cardinals is greatly dispersed, only one third of them being in Italy and on the frontiers.
FLORENCE, August 31.
The city of Civita Castellana, in the Ecclesiastical States, surrendered on the 25th inst. to the Imperial colonel Grudenitz; the French garrison were made prisoners of war. The citadel of Perugia has likewise capitulated. A considerable quantity of Artillery, and provisions for two months, were found in the latter place.
In the different forts of the gulph of Spezzia, the Imperialists found 147 pieces of cannon, and made 1400 prisoners. Of similar importance is, however, the capture of 4 French ships in that gulph, laden with Italian treasures, which want of time would not allow the French to carry off.
The Neapolitan army is now styled the Christian army . It is commanded by Gen. I. B. Rodio, under Cardinal Ruffo. Rome is not yet in the hands of the allies as has been reported. According to official accounts from Rodio, of the 11th of August, Frascati was taken by storm. On the 10th, at day break, lay these accounts, we could hear the disturbance in the streets of Rome. Our troops advanced to the gates of that city, but were received with such a terrible cannonade, that they were obliged to retreat for the present. The French general of division, Garnier, commands in the city. After the above attack, our troops retreated about 6 miles, when they were attacked by the enemy whom they drove back within the city of Rome.
Gen. Rodio has addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants of Rome, in which he represents to them their dreadful situation. He calls upon them to surrender, offers them an amnesty, and informs them that his troops, on their entry into Rome will wear a cross on the right side of their hats, and on the left the red Neapolitan cockade.
According to the capitulation of Capua and Gaeta, which is now published, both these fortresses surrendered to the armed Neapolitans. Capua was taken possession of by English grenadiers. Capt. Troubridge commanded the besieging corps of English, Neapolitan, Russian and Turkish troops.
From the VISTULA, September 10.
His imperial majesty of Russia has raised field marshal count Suwarow to the dignity of a prince of the empire, furnished "the Italian." The following is the imperial decree:
To perpetuate to the remotest posterity the memory of the achievements of our general field marshal Suwarow Rymnisky, who at the head of our victorious armies, and those of the emperor of Germany has, within 4 months delivered all Italy from its impious conquerors, and restored kingdoms and legal institutions. To give a mark of our satisfaction before the whole world, we have conferred on him, the general field marshal count Suwarow Rymnisky, the high dignity of prince of the Russian empire, with the title, the Italian. It is our pleasure that the dignity be hereditary to all his successors, male and female, and that he be, and sign himself—The Italian prince, count Suwarow Rymnisky.
Signed PAUL. Pawlowski, August 8, 1798.
His majesty of Russia has been pleased to grant to the vice-chancellor, count Koshubay, at his own request, his dismission, and to appoint in his room count Panin, a nephew of the celebrated Russian prime minister, count Nikita Iwanowitsch Panin.
Prince Gartorysky is appointed minister to the court of Sardinia.
A levy of recruits has been ordered in the Russian empire, at the rate of one man out of 350, which is less than that of last year, when one out of 250 was drawn.
LINDAU, September
We are this moment informed that the right wing of the French army, under general Massena, has attacked the army under general Hotze in different points, and driven it from the canton of Glarus. The inhabitants of that canton fought bravely for the Austrians, and lost a great number of men. The particulars are expected.
From the MAYN, Sept. 10.
No fears are entertained for the fortress of Philipsburg, it being commanded by the brave count of Salm, and having received a reinforcement of imperial troops about a month ago. The garrison also contains
troops of the Palatinate, Bamberg, the regiment of the circle of the upper Rhine, and the contingents of Frankfort. General Sztarray advances by forced marches to relieve the fortress. Much depends upon the possession of it in the present campaign. It is well provided with barracks and artillery. The Elector of Mentz has informed Baron Albin, that he intends to defray the expenses of arming the inhabitants out of his private purse.
Yesterday general Baraguay d'Hilliers returned to Mentz. The other part of the Frankfort army is still in the plains of the Neckar, extends to Bruchsal, and is estimated at 20,000 men and an action is soon expected to take place between them and the Austrians. The head quarters of the Archduke were at Donaueschingen, on the 4th inst.
PARIS, September 10.
On the 27th of August, the body of Pope Pius VI. being embalmed and clothed in pontifical vestments, was placed in a leaden coffin, which the central administration of the department of the Drome, the Spanish envoy and the Bishop of Cornith fled. Till further orders, the coffin is to remain at Valence.
The Venetians believe that the conclave for the election of a new election of a new Pope will be held in their city, and that from twenty to five and twenty cardinals will assemble there.
It was reported at Berlin on the 28th of August that the King of Prussia is at this moment doing every thing in his power to negotiate peace.
It is said in our papers, that 20,000 men having joined Massena's army, it now consists of 100,000 men, and the news of a terrible and decisive battle is expected every moment.
The Spanish ships of war at Rochefort are expected at Brest; some ships have failed to accompany them, and the whole combined fleet are prepared, in case of need, to protect their entrance into the port. M. de Gravina, in case of any operation, is to have the command in chief.
The body of general Joubert was brought to Toulon on the 27th of August.
The generals Boudet, Pactod, Morlant, Vandamme and Simen, and the Adjutant general Mailon have orders to go to Holland.
The cardinals Albini, Maury and Ruffo, are the principal candidates for the Papal chair.
In the Council of Five Hundred, Talot made yesterday a report on the melancholy situation of the departments of the West. They are a prey to assassinations and robberies. The Chouans are once more organized, the purchasers of the national property, the defenders of the country, the public functionaries, the citizens noted for their attachment to the republic, are daily robbed and assassinated. After having drawn a picture of the horrors committed in the departments, the report exclaimed: How long republicans will you suffer yourselves to be murdered! Fly to arms, form your battalions; no composition is to be made with the ruffians, who murder their fellow citizens, they deserve retaliation. Brave the insolence of the royalists, who cry out against terror, and carry death into their ranks.
The reporter proposed the raising of a French legion in each of the departments of the Maine and Loire, Sarthe, Mayenne, lower Loire, Ile and Vilaine, Morbihan, and Orne. They shall be composed of the inhabitants of the country, from the age of 18: Their destination shall be to combat the Chouans, in the interior of those departments. They shall not, under any pretext, be sent to the frontiers. The sum of 683,000 livres shall be granted to the military of war, for each legion. Adopted.
In the name of the Military Commission, Lacaze proposed a project, tending to enable the Directory to arm the auxiliary battalions, containing in substance the following articles:
Every inhabitant of the French territory is enjoined, within the decade following the publication of the present law, to make a declaration to the Municipality of the place of his abode, of the ammunition, powder, muskets, and other arms which he possesses.
In case of a non-declaration, or a false declaration, the delinquent shall be punished by the confiscation of the objects found, and three months imprisonment at least, and six at most.
Lecointe-Puyraveau opposed this project by observing, how dangerous the execution of it would be in the departments of the west, where there are few large communes, and the mass of the inhabitants are dispersed in a multitude of small communes and insulated habitations; the good republicans will make their declaration, and thereby remain exposed, defenceless to the attacks of the Chouans.
The French have entered Rastadt and Baden. [Amis des Loix]
After the battle of Novi on the 15th of August, Field Marshal Suwarow embraced Gen. Melas on the field of battle, and, before the whole army, called him the conqueror of Novi.
A decree has been published at Milan, according to which all those who have left their cities under the democratic governments, are to have them restored, tho' they might have passed into other hands.
In consequence of an order, of the 19th ult. all the property of the allies of the French, viz. Dutch, Genoese, Genevese, Goricans, and such Swiss whose cantons are occupied by the French, have been confiscated in Tuscany. Should any of the inhabitants of Tuscany conceal such effects, they are to be imprisoned, or fined to the amount of double their value.
A letter from Dresden, of the 8th inst. states the following extraordinary occurrence:
On Friday last the Princess of Hohenlohe and suite arrived here, and alighted at the Hotel de Bologne. This morning the doors of her apartments were found open, the bed of the Princess and the floor of her bedroom stained with blood, and neither she, nor her jewels, money, clothes, and other effects to be found. None of her servants or equipage are missing. Horsemen have been dispatched in different directions, and every body is anxious to unravel this mysterious circumstance.
HAMBURG, September 15.
It seems both parties in Holland, notwithstanding their political principles, have one and the same object in view, viz.—self interest. An incredible number of Dutchmen are arrived in Hamburg within this last fortnight, loaded with specie, to purchase goods. By these means, they not only secure their money from falling into the hands of the invaders, but prepare themselves to take advantage of the distress which their markets at home must soon experience, let matters terminate how they may.
September 17.
This morning two English officers arrived here from Holland. They left the Texel on Tuesday the 10th inst. when the engagement between the English and Batavian armies had commenced. A few English miles from the coast, they met the Russian fleet of transports, with 9,000 troops expecting the pilots to conduct them into the Texel. It was supposed they were the second division from Elbeus, and that the first had failed for Yarmouth.
The hereditary prince of Orange, after his arrival at the Helder, went on board of several Dutch men of war, and between 3 and 4,000 Dutch sailors offered to fight for him on shore: they were accordingly landed on the island of the Texel, by order of the English general. Admiral Story was released on his parole, and the Dutch fleet failed on the 10th inst. with a fair wind, for Sheerness to secure it, at any rate, for the prince of Orange.
The third division of the English expedition had not arrived, and the whole of the English force was estimated at between 13 and 19,000 men only, who are however, by this time joined by 9,000 Russians, the first that arrived on the Dutch coast.
Every day Dutch deserters come over to the English, and volunteer their services for the prince of Orange.
LA ROCHELLE, September 2.
The troubles expected to break out in the neighboring department cause a national flagation of the markets. The combined fleet in Brest is under orders to sail: it is provisioned for three months.
DANTZIG, August 27.
The late rise in the price of wheat was occasioned by the considerable orders from England. There are more than 1000 lasts already purchased, at from 540 to 630 per last.
From the Vienna Court Gazette of Sept. 4.
According to authentic accounts from Constantinople, of the 2d July, Buonaparte attributes his misfortunes, in the two bloody battles near Acre, to the circumstance that the Druses, from Mount Lebanon, whom Buonaparte had brought over to his party by means of manifestoes, and who were to have attacked the combined Turks and English in the rear, arrived too late. In vain (by these accounts) Colonel Lazeroni (the standard in his hand) met his death: in vain attempted Buonaparte, at the head of his infantry, to keep his army together: he was wounded, and every thing would have been lost, had not general Grosler, with a troop of horse, made a skilful manoeuvre by attacking the Turks in the rear. At the same time, when Buonaparte was rallying his infantry, the Chief of Engineers, Gen. Murhard, advanced with 30 cannon, and made a dreadful carnage among the Turks. This gave Buonaparte time to retreat. The Druses, arriving too late, returned to the mountains, and Buonaparte was forced to quit Syria, and instead of conquering, to think of his flight and safety, as he could no longer confide in the Arabs, and had hardly 3000 men of his army remaining, which, on his arrival in Syria, consisted of 30,000 men.
Philadelphia, November 19.

A duel was fought on Sunday afternoon last, between the 2d lieutenant of the Ganges, and the lieutenant of marines, in which the former received a dangerous wound.
BOSTON, November 13.
Capt. Bryan, who arrived here yesterday in the Schooner Peggy, in 26 days from St. Bartholomew, informs—that two days before he failed, the United States brig Eagle, Lieut. Campbell, arrived at St. Bartholomew's from St. Kitts, the commander of which acquainted the American consul, that the United States brig PICKERING, Lieut. Hyllier, of 14 four pounders, had, after a battle of nine hours, captured and carried into St. Kitts, the French privateer Schooner Le Conqueror d'Egypte mounting eight nines, and six six pounders, with 200 men. The action was severe, and was fought off Guadalupe, about the 8th of October, from whence the Frenchman was sent to take the Pickering. Capt. Bryan does not recollect what loss of men the vessels sustained; but the affair was considered as highly honorable to the American flag.

TO THE PUBLIC.
THE time being fixed on, when the MILITARY LAND (commonly called Knox's) WARRANTS, granted to the United States' army, are to be registered and located, the subscribers have explored that tract of land on which those warrants are to be laid; with a view, and for the purpose of offering their services as locators.
We take the liberty of suggesting, "that we are at least as well acquainted with the situation, quality of the soil, &c. of the different townships in the aforesaid tract, as any other person;" this will, perhaps, appear more clearly, by observing, that WILLIAM C. SCHENCK assisted in running the Indian boundary line; at which time he considerably traversed that tract; be also assisted in surveying and laying it off into townships, and at other times ranged over it, to gain information. But to obtain a more complete and accurate knowledge, we have lately spent between two and three months, with several assistants, in particularly examining the different townships and quarter townships; by which means we have acquired an accurate knowledge of the whole district.—We now offer our services to the public, as Locators, with assurances that we will locate every persons warrants intrusted to us to the best advantage, agreeably to their rights of location, which is to be determined according to law. For our services we demand the one equal tenth part, either in lands or warrants, where we locate a full tract, of four thousand acres or more, for one person or firm; the land to be taken in a square, at a corner of the tract; which corner is to be equitably determined before the time of location.—The one equal sixth part, in cash or warrants, when we connect and locate any amount less than four thousand acres. We will be in Philadelphia from December next, until after the time of location, to transact this business. Any person wishing to satisfy himself farther, will please to call on us, by letter, (postage paid) or otherwise; when due attention will be paid, and such vouchers may be seen as we have to offer, which we hope will be satisfactory.

THE Subscriber having lately returned from viewing the land, surveyed and appropriated to satisfy the land warrants, issued by the Secretary at war, to the officers and soldiers of the late continental army; and having made arrangements with Mr. James Johnson, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who he left on the land, and who with the assistance of an intelligent inhabitant of that county, will spend five months in exploring the different sections. He will take regular notes, descriptive of the soil, situation, and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey; which notes will be placed in the hands of the subscriber previous to the period for locating, thereby enabling him to make the most advantageous locations the priority will admit.
He offers his service to the holders of land warrants of the above description, throughout the United States, to receive their warrants, class them, (as no less quantity than 4000 acres will be registered at the office of the treasury) have them registered agreeable to law, and attend to make the location at the time appointed in February next.
For transacting the business, one tenth part of the land specified in the warrants will be required, and no other charge, except the postage of letters. All warrants forwarded and letters addressed to the subscriber, at No. 3, Penn-street, Philadelphia, will receive immediate attention. JAMES E. SMITH. September 2 mwfif.

March 11th, 1799. PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, Pursuant to the act of Congress passed on the 1st day of June, one thousand, seven hundred and ninety-six, entitled "an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the society of United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the Heathen;" and the act supplementary to the said recited act passed on the second day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine—to wit:

TERMS
Of Richard Folswell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dolls. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable share on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work.
Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost inestimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation.
The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798." "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States." "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, Respectfully represents, That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folswell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he hath obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves."

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Buffleton, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populousness 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 its 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 amongst 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 dust in summer, which circumstance, 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 Buffleton, where it stops to breakfast; from Buffleton it goes through Newtown to Penn-town to dinner; from Penn-town 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 Bardiu, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtland, corner of Coenties Alley, 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 rails, 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 see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state 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 estimates 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 likely it will be presumed, will dislike this regulation; it will however be negotiable 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 safe 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 taverns as always afford 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 sober and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages stop, so that the conduct of the persons who employ them 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 sort of chicanery or insolence 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.
