Late News! By the Dublin Packet, arrived at New-York, in 47 days from Dublin.
LONDON, May 23. Among the extraordinary circumstances of the present war, none is more striking than a comparison of the situation of things now with what it was a few weeks ago. We were then quite unconcerned at the state of the enemy's fleet—our anxiety was alone di- rected to the situation of the armies of Aus- tria and France; and we were not without apprehension that the arms of the latter would, at least in the outset of the campaign, prove victorious; but we have witnessed the invariable defeat of the republican troops; and by the accounts received yesterday, it will be seen, that the army of Italy has been COMPLETELY DESTROYED. The Austrians seemed inspired with the same en- thusiasm which distinguished the French armies at the beginning of the contest, while the latter at last, probably convinced that they are fighting, not for liberty, but for the existence of five despots, who have ruined their country, have lost all their energy. In this state of things, it is not surpris- ing that the directory should use every art and pretence to influence their armies, and to excite, if possible, that spirit which once existed, but which great sufferings, without any prospect of recompence, seem entirely to have subdued. The death of Bonnier and Roberjot is seized upon eagerly for the pur- pose. The Archduke Charles, without the slightest ground, is charged with the mur- der of these men, and in the midst of defeat, the directory vent the vengeance of despair against the armies of their enemies. But General Suwarrow is not to be intimidated by such threats; and the horrors of such a war as they proclaim, are likely to fall ten fold upon their heads. May 24.
On the 12th inst. Mr. Walpole, the Bri- tish minister at Lisbon, received an express overland, from Capt. Peard of the Success frigate, in Lagos Bay, dated the 7th, stat- ing that on the 11th inst. he had fallen in with the Brest fleet, consisting of 19 sail of the line and 11 frigates about 35 leagues west of Oporto, steering S. W. and by S. and that he was to proceed immediately from Lagos Bay, with intelligence to Lord St. Vincent. May 25. This day arrived the Hamburg mail due on Wednesday last: among other advices it brought the first number of a new English paper, which made its appearance at Ham- burgh on the 18th, (this day week,) and from which we have extracted some impor- tant articles. All the advices concur in re- presenting the progress of the allies in the most favourable light; and in giving hopes of the ultimate extirpation of the French in all the countries which they have plundered by their arms, or abused by their treach- ery.
The Hamburg German papers, by the mail, are of the date of the 15th and 17th only: a Hamburg German paper of the 18th, together with the English paper above mentioned, were sent by express, and contain the latest possible intelligence.
Vienna May 8. When our troops entered Milan, on the 28th ult. a numberless crowd of people came to meet them, and received them such loud demonstrations of joy, as could be heard at a great distance. A great number of the nobility of both sexes, and the members of the former Magistracy, came on the road which our troops took to enter the city, and testified their joy. As soon as the general of Cavalry, Melas, reached Milan, he sent word to the officer commanding the garri- son in the citadel, who wanted to fire on the city, that if he fired but a single shot, he would give orders, not to cut in pieces the garri- son, but to hang them, because they would have attempted to exercise a barbarous and useless vengeance. The French Command- ant only wanted to fire upon the city to revenge himself of the inhabitants, who ex- pressed their joy at the entrance of the Au- strians. In other respects, the battle of the 27th of April, will be forever memorable in the history of the present war, the French having rendered their positions almost im- pregnable by the strong batteries and re- doubts they had raised. The quantity of ammunition and military stores of every kind, which the French left behind, in their camp and at Milan, is immense; and the cou- rier who arrived declares, that it would re- quire weeks to take an inventory of them. When the courier left Milan on the first of May, they assured him that Moreau's defeated army had taken different roads, on its retreat. The inhabitants of the open country had seen those troops on the roads of Piacenza, Arena, and Pavia, and even on those of Vigevano and Novaro. The siege of Peschiera has been somewhat retarded, owing to the terrible rains, but now the heavy ordnance is arrayed before that place. Field Marshal Suwarrow wrote to the Emperor respecting the victories of the 26 and 27th ult. "That he had always admired the bravery of the Austrian troops, and the knowledge of their officers, but that what he observed on those two days, fully convinced him that nothing in the world was superior to Austrian bravery." After taking Milan, Field Marshal Su- warrow is said to have ordered another corps upon a secret expedition. The French Princes are gone from Vienna to Mittau. The Duke and Duchess of Su- dermann were likewise gone to Dresden, and the Archduke Palatine was about to return to Ofen. On the 2d instant the bride of Louis XVIII. arrived at Brunn from Bohe- mia, and set out again next day.
From the St. James's Chronicle. The French army of Italy is not less re- duced by its repeated losses in battle, than by the desertion of the foreign troops which were incorporated with it. The Ligurians, the Cisalpines, and the Romans, (as they were called) quitted their colours in whole battalions. The Piedmontese regiment, call- ed the Queen's Dragoons, deserted in a body and went over to the Imperialis, after having cut in pieces 100 Calabine Hussars who refused to follow their example.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 19. Buonaparte's defeat by Dichezar Pacha, near St. John d'Acre, is fully confirmed.
(From the Vienna Court Gazette.) TURKEY, APRIL 19. According to letters from Constantinople of the 19th of April, the Advices from Sy- ria give a very different turn to the success of Buonaparte's expedition against that pro- vince.
He certainly advanced some time ago with 3000 Frenchmen, and as many Arabs and Copts, whom he had brought from Egypt, into Palestine. The badly defended posts of Gaza and Jaffa could not stop his progress, he came down the coast to St. John d'Acre, the ancient Ptolemais and detached a small column against the passes about Nabulous (Sichem) to watch the movements of Diche- zar Oglu, Governor of Jerusalem, who could have fallen upon his rear. St. John d'Acre is so weak a place that no resistance was ex- pected—But how great was the astonishment of the French to hear their summons answer- ed by the play of a well directed heavy artil- lery; and still greater must have been their consternation, when they were informed that it was their own ordnance! For thirteen transports of theirs, that were to bring their heavy artillery, military stores, and troops from Damietta to Palestine, were partly cap- tured, partly sunk, partly dispersed by the fleet of Commodore Sir Sidney Smith, and this naval commander had reached St. John d'Acre just in good time. Here the French suffered no inconsiderable loss, and were forced to retreat. Meanwhile Dichezar Oglu had actually occupied the passes in their rear, and gained some advantage near Nabulous. This deprived them of the hope of capturing the caravan going from Damascus to Mecca, and they had to struggle with a variety of embarrassments, respecting their own situa- tion. Seventeen Turkish sail are now going with troops, and many military stores, to reinforce Dichezar Pacha. Two English men of war guard the mouth of the Arabian gulph. In general, Buonaparte is in the most critical situation with his army. The Grand Vizir, Jusuff Pacha, is preparing with all the forces of the Turkish Empire, which will join him every where, on his march from Constantinople to Asia, to frus- trate completely Buonaparte's enterprises by a decisive blow, unless it be struck even be- fore his arrival.
Constantinople, April 19. The intelligence sent under date of the 16th inst. respecting General Buonaparte's defeat by Dichezar Pacha near St. John d'Acre, is fully confirmed. The French General is now retreating with the rest of his army towards Cairo. This news has caused great joy in the seraglio, and the Sultan, will or- der a solemn thanksgiving for that purpose. An English officer sent by Sir Sydney Smith to the English Ambassador here, has brought this news.
A great insurrection is said to have bro- ken out in the island of Cyprus, and the Pa- cha demands speedy succours. The Austrian Intermuncio having lately had many conferences with the Captain Pa- cha, the treaty of alliance and subsidy be- tween the Porte and the House of Austria, is supposed to be on the eve of conclusion.
Roveredo, May 5. The strong fort of Brescia, Orzi Novi, has surrendered, and 3000 prisoners were ta- ken. General Hohenzollern has defeated the French between Cremona and Piacenza, and taken 8 pieces of cannon.
Strasburgh, May 9. The private papers of the French Secreta- ry of Legation, which on the 26th of Ap- ril were thrown in the Murg, and carried down into the Rhine, have been taken up by the people of Germersheim, and restored to him.
The French Directory has set at liberty the Generals Courtat and Montaign, who were accused of being engaged in the con- spiracy of Pichegru. General Legrand now commands the French troops on the right bank of the Rhine. His head-quarters are at Kork.— General Laborde will command the troops at Offenburg, for which place he has set out from Manheim.
Lindau, May 7. The first attack gen. Hotze, on the positions of the French in the Grisons did not suc- ceed; as a part of the troops were unable to come up in time over the mountains covered with snow, nine companies of infantry were in consequence cut off and taken pri- soners.
The French troops at St. Gall have been reinforced with 6 battalions. The army of Gen. Hotze, which extends from Bregenz to Feldkirch, amounts now to 30,000 men.
Subia, May 10. On the 8th inst. the Russian General, Count Tottot, passed through Augsburg, on his way to the head-quarters of the Arch- duke Charles, to regulate with him the march of a Russian army of reserve, which is already in West Galicia, and on its way to the Rhine.
Corfu, April 15. Yesterday the Combined Russian and Tur- kish fleet, consisting of 40 ships of war, and 46 transports with troops on board, set sail for Italy.
Palermo, April 16. Two great armies are formed in this king- dom, which hold themselves in readiness to embark on an expedition to the main land of Italy. All the ships in the harbour of Sici- ly are ready to sail, and the English force by land and sea, which will support the expe- dition is very great. In the kingdom of Naples the discontent of the people against the French daily encreases; and in Calabria and Abruzzo, all are under arms who are ca- pable of bearing them, with a firm resolution to defend the monarchical constitution at the expence of their lives.
Trent, May 3. Colonel Strauch has advanced with his column by Tanale to Edola, and forced the French to retreat into the Valtelin. He immediately took possession of the passes of Africa and Montoro, and took 60 prisoners. At the latter place the French attacked him with a reinforcement, but the Austrian using only the bayonet, forced them to re- treat, notwithstanding the deep snow, with a loss of 700 killed and wounded. The Austrians took 200 men and three officers. The French in the Valtelin are 600 strong.
Milan, April 30. The battle near Cassano, on the 27th of April was extremely obstinate, and lasted above ten hours. The Russian advanced- guard attacked with incredible fury a column of the enemy of superior force, and great numbers were killed on both sides; which so enraged the Russian troops, that they afterwards gave no quarter. On the 27th in the evening the Austrian advanced guard entered this city, and, on the 28th the Head-quarters of the army arrived. General Melas immediately re-established a tribunal of police, and appointed Manzoni its President.
General Suwarrow took up his quarters in the house of the Marquis Calabron, near the Eastern gate; and General Melas in the Palace Belgioioso.—Count Ghiesbilly is Im- perial Commissary to the Italian city.
Yesterday arrived here General Serurier, with the 3000 French who surrendered their prisoners to general Vukassovich. The French garrison in the citadel here has been ordered to surrender, but has refused; and pre- parations are making for the attack. The Head-quarters are removing to-day towards the Tessino.
Terms of Capitulation offered by the Gen- eral of division Serurier, commanding a corps of troops in the service of the French Republic, to the Austrian General Vukassov- itch:
All the French and Piedmontese troops stationed near Vederio surrender themselves prisoners of war on the following conditions —Granted. Art. I. All Generals, Staff and Commis- sioned officers, are to keep their arms, horses, and baggage; the soldiers' horse and foot, both French and Piedmontese, are also to keep their baggage.—Granted. Art. II. Both shall be exchanged by the ar- my in the usual order.—Granted. Art. III. In expectation of a general ex- change, as many French prisoners as have been taken in the action shall be ex- changed for as many Austrian prisoners.— Refused. Art. IV. The other Frenchmen are to remain prisoners of war by virtue of the present capitulation, the Generals, Staff and other Officers, whether French or Piedmon- tese, are dismissed and permitted to return to France and Piedmont, on promising not to serve against his Majesty the Emperor and King nor his allies, until they be re- spectively exchanged.—Granted. Art. V. The same favour is requested as in the preceding Article, for all non-com- missioned officers of cavalry, that may re- main prisoners of War. Refused. Verdeio, the 9th Floreal, 7th year of the Republic 28. August 28, 1799. (Signed) SERUTRIER. N. B. General Vukassovich promises, that the soldiery made prisoners of war should not be sent back further than the ex Venetian Territories, so that by the interference of General Serurier with his Government an exchange may in a short time be made, rank for rank, and man for man.
Luzerne, May 4. The fire of the insurrection was soa- ner stifled in one point, than it broke out again in another. On the 28th, the pleas- ants of the environs of Schwentz, collected and penetrated arms in hand into the town. They seized the church, attacked the French who had assembled in haste in the streets, killed 43 and made 200 of them prisoners. At the same time the alarm bell was ring- ing in the canton of Uri and the peasants assembled to gether to the number of several thousand men, most armed with carbines; a great number of the military, who were scattered in different parts, were annihilated. The troops of the 76th half brigade, being ordered against the insurgents, were however obliged to yield to superior numbers, and to retreat.
On the 29th ult. the insurgents declared to the Helvetic Directory by letter, that they would suffer no loss of garrison, that they wanted to be free and independent, but that if all the people of their Cantons detained prisoners at Luzerne were released, they would offer their friendship to the Govern- ment.
General Mafena, informed of this insur- rection, immediately ordered troops to ad- vance from the side of Zug. The Zur- ichers have taken up arms and occupied the Canton. Troops have also been sent from hence against the Cantons in insurrection.
ARMY OF THE DANUBE. The following is an official statement of the French army of the Danube, and the position which it occupied on the 5th of May, with an account of the divisions of

which it is composed, and their respective commands.
The right wing extends from Bormio as far as Rheyneck. It is commanded by general Ferino, whose head quarters were at St. Gall; and consists of three divisions. The first commanded by general Melchior, has its head quarters at Zizers; and the second, by general Lecourbe, at Zernes; and the third, by general Lorgies at Altdorf.
The centre reaches from Arbon, on the lake of Constance, to the Frickthal, and forms four divisions. The first under general Vandamme, has its head quarters at Andelfingen. The second, under general Oudinot, supports its right on Muntlingen, and its left on Stein; the head quarters are at Frankenfeld. The third, under Thureau, has its head quarters at Bulach; and the fourth, under the command of general Soult, remains in reserve in Wil, and the vicinity.
The left wing comprises all the troops upon the right bank of the Rhine, before Kehl, and the old Brisach, and stretches along the Rhine, as far as Laufembourg. It forms two divisions. The first commanded by general St. Hilaire, comprehends all the troops from Laufembourg to Huningen inclusively. The head quarters are at Bâle. The second, under general Legrand, comprises the troops before Kehl and the old Brisach; its head quarters are at Villingen.
Reserve of cavalry for the center—The division which composed this reserve is pulled behind Bâle, under the command of general Ney.
Division of cavalry. This division is encamped between Strasbourg and Bâle; it is to be under the orders of general Klein, who has also the command of all the cavalry of the army. The head quarters are at Bâle.
Division of the interior of Helvetia—This body, consisting of the garrison battalions of the late army of Helvetia, is under the orders of general Nouion, whose head quarters are at Lucerne.
First military division.—This is the same which formerly bore this name; it is commanded by general Baroche, and its head quarters are at Strasbourg.
Division of the Lower Rhine.—This comprises the garrison of Mannheim, and the troops advanced to the right of that place. It is commanded by general Collaud, and the head quarters at Mannheim.
The four united departments are to be commanded by general Dufour, who has his head quarters at Coblenz.
The head quarters of the general in chief has been since the first of May at Zurich.
POSTSCRIPT EXTRAORDINARY.
Dispatches have this day been received from Vienna of the 12th, by which it appears that Pecheira had surrendered to the Austrians and Russians. Novara was also in their possession, and Pavia was blockaded. The inhabitants had risen in several places against the Austrians, attacked the French with great fury, and made great slaughter in several skirmishes. The body taken from the French in the different actions has been immense.
General Suwarrows head quarters were at Pavia. Mantua was closely blockaded, and Pizzolotto had not surrendered, but it was expected to fall very shortly.
The greatest part of the French army had retreated to the garrisons of Tortona, Novi and Alexandria, and in the neighbourhood of those places.
The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday last, arrived this morning.
In addition to what we (Sun) yesterday stated respecting the French fleet, there remains little to be added. By the packet dispatched by general Goyon and Mr. Walpole, a few private letters were brought, from one of which the following is an extract, upon the authenticity of which we can rely.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated May 11, nine o'clock at night.
Various express accounts announce the important intelligence that a large enemy's squadron is at sea, and it is said they have been seen off Porto. Report goes so far as to say, 19 sail of the line, 16 of which left Brest on the 23th ult. 3 of Spanish from Ferrol joined the 1st inst. Letters by yesterday's post from Madrid, mention that the French squadron was at anchor, and had 4000 troops on board, a great deal of camp equipment, and three months provisions. A frigate is gone to Gibraltar to advise Earl St. Vincent of all this, and we are anxiously waiting the result of so interesting an expedition.
LONDON, May 22.
This morning a messenger arrived from Sir M. Eden, at Vienna, bringing dispatches dated on the 7th, which state, that an action had taken place previous to the taking of Milan, in which gen. Suwarrows, after crossing the Adda, had completely defeated the French, and had killed 6000, and taken 5000 prisoners, and 80 pieces of cannon. Gen. Sarrrier, and his whole corps laid down their arms, after being surrounded by the Austrians and Russians.
The French had retreated into Switzerland, where there were several insurrections against them among the Swiss.
[The same paper contains the official dispatch from Sir Morton Eden, to Lord Grenville, in substance as the above, only more particular.]

The commander of Philipsburgh, on the Rhine, has published an account of the blockade of that fortress. In his official report to the Archduke Charles, he states that he
had arrested three Frenchmen, who had entered the place for the purpose of seducing the officers of the garrison. They had appointed a meeting with one of the officers, who informed the governor of it. They declared that they would give 200,000 livres if necessary.
The account of the death of the French ministers, signed by all the deputies at Rastadt, and transmitting to their respective courts, was drawn up by the Prussian Envoy.
It is expected at Strasburg, that the directory will send two new plenipotentiaries to that place; and that the negotiation will be continued there with the several states of the empire. One of the ministers of the elector of Bavaria and an envoy of Hesse Darmstadt, are at present there, and have had conferences with Jean Debry.
Great changes have been made in the Turkish ministry. The Reis Effendi, heretofore minister for foreign affairs, has been disposed, and Alip Effendi, a favorite of the grand vizier, appointed in his room. Yesterday three horse-tails were hoisted as the signals for the grand vizier's departure.
DUBLIN, Wednesday, May 29.
By the successful direction of the Austrian and Russian armies under Field Marshal Suwarrows, we find the deliverance of Tuscany is an eventual object, the immediate one being the cutting off all communication between the republican armies in Sabba and the Alps with that in Italy, south of the Po; which latter, thus insolated as every relief by land and sea is precluded, must dwindle into insignificance and its remnant submit on the best terms that may be granted.
The late mails from England tell us that the absence of the British channel fleet, has been taken advantage of by a swarm of French privateers to commit depredations on our trade with impunity; we are sorry to add, with uncommon success, as the two last Lloyd's lists offer us a catalogue of more than thirty merchant vessels, having last week fallen into their hands; and we see with concern among them, the names of three vessels bound to Dublin, namely, the Peggy, Andrews, from Lisbon, brought into Camarines; the Jane of Dundee, from Aberdeen to ditto, laden with barley; captured by La Belle privateer of Dunkirk, carried into Bergen in Norway; the Fingal, M'Vicar, from Lisbon to ditto:—we are happy to say, that this last vessel has been recaptured by the Eagle privateer of Jersey, and carried into St. Hilliers. The owners of the cargo settled the salvage to be paid to the privateer at Mr. Bruce's office.
The following is a copy of the London Gazette Extraordinary, which arrived yesterday, by express.
DOWNING-STREET, May 25.
Dispatches of which the following are extracts, have been received from the Right Hon. Sir Morton Eden, K. B. and from Lieutenant Colonel Robert Craufurd, by the Right Hon. Lord Grenville, his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the foreign department.
VIENNA, May 12, 1799.
"A messenger arrived this morning with letters from Marshall Suwarrows, of the 4th inst. from an obscure village near Cremona, and with the colours taken at Pecheira."
"The Marshall states, that the enemy is flying in all sides, without daring to make head against him; that the Austrians are in possession of Novara on one side of Pavia, whither the head-quarters were to be transferred that evening; and the Castle of Piacenza, on the other, that Vercelli is abandoned; that on the 7th he proposed to batter Pizzolotto; that a detachment had been at Modena, which they found evacuated by the enemy; that four hundred Crazys and a numerous body of peasants closely blockaded Ferrara; that preparations were making for forming and pushing with vigour the siege of Mantua; that great quantities of cannon, ammunition, and other stores had been taken at different places, particularly at Pecheira where booty far exceeded all expectation; that the inhabitants of the different countries shewed the utmost gratitude for their deliverance; that the Piedmontese officers who have been taken, are under the auspices of the Marshall, drawing up a proclamation, inviting their brother officers and soldiers to rise and join them, for the purpose of assisting in the re-establishment of their Sovereign on the throne."
"A dispatch of a proceeding date, supposed to contain the details of the taking of Pecheira, is not arrived."
Extract of a dispatch from Lieutenant-Colonel Craufurd to Lord Grenville, dated Lindau, the 12th instant.
"Part of General B'lecarde's army has advanced from the Upper Engadine, in the direction towards Coire, and has passed the Albula. The French who were in the Upper Engadine, have retired towards the Splügen. It is reported that there has been a considerable insurrection of the inhabitants of the Upper Valais and Uri; but the particulars are not known."
The London Gazette of the 15th inst. which arrived yesterday, contains the following letter from R. W. Otway, transmitted to the Admiralty by Sir H. Parker, Kt. commander in chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels at Jamaica, dated March 30th 1799.
"I have the honor to inform you, that having discovered a Spanish ship and three schooners in a small bay about seven leagues to the northward of Cape Roxo, I sent the boats under the command of Lieutenants Belcher and Balderson, and covered them with the Sparrow cutter; the vessels being in shoal water, close in shore, and under the protection of a five gun battery."
"Lieutenant M'Gee and his party of
Marines were landed, and some seamen under the orders of Lieutenant Belcher who immediately stormed the battery, bayoneted five and wounded several, and effectually destroyed the guns &c."
"The ship and schooners were in the mean time boarded, and brought out by the boats; the other two schooners were scuttled by the enemy. Great praise is due to Lieutenant Wylie for his spirited conduct in the Sparrow, as likewise the officers and men of his Majesty's ship employed on this service. I am happy to say, only two seamen and one corporal were wounded on this occasion."
The Gazette also contains a list of vessels captured and destroyed by Sir H. Parker, making in the whole 64 taken and three destroyed—an account of the capture of the La Vengeance letter of marque, mounting six four pounders, and two longers.
A corps of 10,000 insurgents have formed itself in the Grison country. A few days ago they attacked the French near Chur, but having no cannon, and 400 of them only being properly armed, they were repulsed with loss to Reichenau. No doubt but General Hotze will endeavour to succour them.
Our latest papers by the Dublin Packet, leave us still in the same uncertain state, concerning the HOSTILE FLEETS. We hope, that the next arrival from Europe, will relieve us from the present state of anxiety.
VIENNA, May 8.
This morning arrived here the Russian Major Romanzow, with new important advice from Italy, the contents of which our court will not make known till to morrow in an extraordinary supplement to our Court Gazette, as owing to the shortness of the time and the size of the supplement, it cannot be published sooner. Some say, that that officer has brought intelligence of the capture by storm of St. Clogio, the suburb of Mantua, on the part of the Russians; others say, that it concerned the taking of the citadel of Milan, and others again believe that Pecheira is taken.
Field Marshal Suwarrows now intends, they say, to penetrate into Piedmont to support the insurgents in that country, and penetrate afterwards to Genoa.
BERGENTZ, May 9.
The first attack of general Hotz upon Luciensteig has miscarried. Nine companies of Infantry were cut off by the French and taken prisoners. In the Grison country the insurrection is almost general and may force the French to rush out from Switzerland, or to retire farther.
The Imperial army in Italy will endeavor to establish a communication with that of the Archduke Charles.
On the 5th inst. in the morning, the whole Imperial army was under arms along the Swiss frontiers. The French intended they say, to make attacks on Lorrain, and other places, and to cross the Rhine. Near Zurich they had established many intrenchments. Many Swiss desert to the Austrians. All the women had received orders to quit the French army.
The several companies, which, on the miscarriage storm on St. Luciensteig, on the 1st of May had been cut off, are not taken prisoners, but likely to be on the mountains, whence they have sent a report to gen. Hotze, and demanded a supply of provisions.
BOMBAY, DEC. 29.
Accounts from the Prince of Wales Island, mention, that the Resilience, of 44 guns, Capt. Pakenham, has been blown up in the fireights of Banca, and only four or five of the crew saved.
CALCUTTA, JAN. 19.
Upwards of 3000 Bengal troops have arrived at Madras to join the grand army.
FEB. 16.
Buonaparte having terminated his career, and Zemaun Shaw marched up the hill and then marched down again, the movements of Tippoo Sultan seem now to engage our attention.
That the Mysorean Prince would not again have provoked the British power in India, had he not expected support from either or both of those chieftains, appears to be more than probable; but being effectually disappointed in those objects, and perceiving the vigorous preparations that are going forward to oppose him it seems most likely that he will endeavour to prevent the horrors of war, by timely concessions.
Tippoo has recently experienced the power as well as the lenity of a British army—he ought therefore to beware of the renewal of a contest in which, unassisted, he can scarcely hope to be a gainer, and in which he has to vast a stake at issue. But to insatiable ambition, like his, there are no bounds, but those that are prescribed by divine necessity.
We are however happy to hear that Tippoo now avows the most amicable disposition towards the British government in India, and has pledged himself that he would by the 12th instant, by solemn act, remove all those doubts which his late conduct had so justly given rise to.
Should he manifest good faith on this occasion, we may expect a Courier from Madras, by the 22d inst. satisfying us of the happy effects of our late arrangements—and that, to preserve peace, it is necessary to be prepared for war.
FEB. 18.
Letters from the camp of the Grand Army, assembled at Vellore mention that they were to commence their march towards Tippoo's territories on the 27th ultimo.
We understand there never was a better equipped or so formidable an army assembled at the beginning of any campaign in India, as that now under the command of Gen. Harris; it is said to consist of upwards of 30,000 of the best discipline troops, a very large proportion of which are Europeans.

At a meeting held at the house of Mrs. Landel, in the Northern Liberties, on the evening of the 17th inst. for the purpose of nominating a proper person to fill the office of Governor at the ensuing election.
SAMUEL WHEELER, in the chair.
JOHN F. WATSON, Secretary.
The meeting taking into consideration the shock which the equal rights of men have received from the overwhelming ambition of France; the danger with which every republic on earth has been threatened; and many of them destroyed by her open violence or secret intrigues; and the importance of filling our offices of public trust with men who have ever manifested an exclusive attachment to our own country; who have had no connection with foreign factions, no bias from foreign influence, who are truly republican in their manners and principles, and truly American in their affections and patriotism; It was unanimously resolved to support JAMES ROSS, Esq. of Pittsburgh.
The meeting then proceeded to the appointment of a corresponding committee, whereupon the following persons were chosen, viz.
 Samuel Wheeler,  Joseph Copesthwait,  John Keam,  Basil Wood,  Abraham Coates,  James Swaine,  Abraham Duffield,  James Hart,  Abiah Brown,  Matthew Vandusen,  Thomas Hambleton,  Lewis Bender. 
Resolved, That the foregoing be published in the papers of this city, and that the Chairman and Secretary sign the same.
SAMUEL WHEELER, Chairman.
JOHN F. WATSON, Secretary.
N. B. The Members of the above Committee are requested to meet at Robert Meldrum's tavern in Second-street, Northern Liberties, on Wednesday evening the 24th inst. at 7 o'clock.
A whimsical German author, says, that if it were not for famine, plagues, wars, and other comfortable incidents, the earth would not be sufficient for its population and it would be necessary to build another STORY to hold all the people.
Advice to those who want it, and that unfortunately is too many.
THE most damaging vices mankind can be guilty of, are lying, idleness, whoredom, and taking that which is not their own.
And these threaten them with hunger, disease, a prison, and a gibbet.
Every call you have to make, when you know not where to find either food or money, impeaches those hands which were given you to labor with, of high crimes and misdemeanors.
The incorpable companions of indolence are craving appetite, debility of body, and wretchedness of mind.
Avoid the company of lewd women; you will find them callous, perfidious, rapacious, and cruel. Their embrace is that of a serpent. And who would be robbed of his money, injured in his health, become a victim to quacks, and quackery, lose his spirits and credit, for the manly indulgence of lying ingloriously in the lap of a harlot.
It is often to support a mistress, that a servant betrays his master to his accomplices; that from pilfering he proceeds to theft; that having rifled the till, he commits his depredations on the desk; that a false calculation is so often an introduction to forgery; that picking pockets emboldens to rob on the highway, and that the thoughtless are often prompted to assume the garb of a ruffian, and murderer at midnight.
These are the deeds that originate in lewdness; inattention to business, or excess in the pursuit of pleasure.
As therefore you value the health of body, peace of mind, a good character, and a quiet life, be industrious, temperate and honest.
Spend every week day at work, and go to church at least one part of Sunday.
Drink as you eat, only for nourishment.
Go early and coolly to bed, and you will sleep easily, and be refreshed.
Excite no quarrels.
Contract no debts.
Be content with your lot.
Envy not the rich.
Oppress not the poor.
Do all the good you can,
And great shall be your reward in
Heaven.
NEW-YORK, July 12. Last evening the Washington Troop of Horse was summoned by the Trump of alarm, to suppress a mob, which was collected in consequence of a man having been found murdered in a house, at the junction of the streets of Greenwich and Bloor-street. The mob was suppressed, and when this paper went to press, at one o'clock this morning, the troops were on duty.
INSCRIPTION UNDER AN OAK.
HERE, traveller, pause awhile. This ancient oak Will pass'd thee if the sun did hideh't Or should the sudden shower be falling fast, Here may'st thou rest umbrella'd. All around Is good and lovely. Hark by yonder wall The kennel flands; the horse hath hanging near, Perchance with scent unpleasing may offend Thy delicate nostrils; but remember thou How sweet a perfume to the bound it yields; And sure its useful odours will repel More gratefully thy philistine nose, Than what'st' unprofitable violet Wastes on the wand'ring wind. Nor wilt thou want Such music as benevolence will love; For from these fruitful boughs the acorns fall Abundant, and the swine that grub around, Shaking with reflex pleasure their brief tails, That like the tumblers of the vine curl up, Will seem their greedy joy. Dost thou not love The sounds that speak enjoyment? Oh! if not Thou wouldst rather with inhuman ear Hark to the warblings of some wretched bird Bereft of freedom, sure thine heart is dead To each good feeling, and thy spirit void Of all that fattens on objects from
