An abridged description of the subject and scenery.
Tell and his hardy followers return from the MOUNTAINS OF SWITZERLAND, with a dead Stag, and other game, the Tyrant with his fawning crew, having been unsuccessful in claiming the produce of their toil — Tell with many resolution prevents the execution of the unjust demand — an altercation ensues, till the Tyrant being wounded by a shaft from Tell's bow, on the ground, with a design to insult and humble Tell the most effectually, places a pear in the ground and his cap on the point, orders them to pay obedience — being compelled by superior force, they smother their resentment, for the present, and obey — during the ceremony, Tell's child springs into the arms of his Father, and enquir- ing the nature of the command, pulls off his cap, brandishing it in the air contemptuously, throws it at the Tyrant, his hands tear them apart, and Tell is compelled to the dreadful al- ternative either to be killed on the spot or shoot an apple from his son's head.
At this time Tell's wife enters, and seeing her son in that perilous situation, falls senseless on the ground, the same moment Tell's wife revives and they return thanks to heaven for so providential an escape — but the Tyrant's perfidious nature not ending, he makes brutal love to Tell's wife — no longer able to curb his resentment, Tell and his brave companions maintain an obstinate battle — the Tyrant being separated from his guards, Tell has wrenched the sword from his hand, and is about to plunge it in his breast, when the soldiers having over- taken the child on a hill, threaten him with im- mediate death, if Tell does not release the Ty- rant — the exchange is no sooner made, than the treacherous Tyrant breaks the truce — Tell is beaten off, and his wife runs for safety into a DREARY CAVE,
but is pursued by the tyrant — her distresses, tears and prayers, serve rather to enrage his brutal passion, and swears he'll kill her if she will not comply — she prefers death to dishonor, his arm being lifted for the fatal blow, the child watch- ing from an aperture in the Cave, lets fly an ar- row, which pierces the Tyrant's heart, and he falls lifeless on the ground — a revolution follows and they celebrate their emancipation in the TEMPLE OF LIBERTY.
The whole to conclude by half past ten.
Sales at Auction.
On Saturday the 20th April, at 2 o'clock P. M., on the premises,
Sundry Building and Garden Lots,
Some of them contiguous to, and others at a small distance from the city, containing from about one quarter of an acre to about four a- cres each. The small lots front on Vine and Callowhill Streets, near Schuylkill — the large lots front on the south side of Francis Street, on the east side of Schuylkill river, on the west side of Schuylkill, second street, and on intermediate streets — the whole containing about 140 a- cres, being part of the tract known by the name of Springettsbury.
The situation of many of the lots is on high ground, commanding views of the Schuylkill, and supposed to be so much detached from the built parts of the city, as to be out of danger in case of an unhappy return of the fever.
Maps showing the division of the ground, may be seen at the Coffee-house, at Ogden's tavern in Chesnut Street, at Sybert's tavern in the Northern Liberties, and at the Middle and Upper Ferries on Schuylkill.
The abundance of stone, for building, on part of the ground, will prove very advantageous to purchasers, as it is proposed to sell at the same time those large quarries on the east side of the Schuylkill, near and above the bridge.
The terms will be cash for the lots of 49 T 2 and 50 feet front, and for those of a larger size one half cash immediately, and the other half to be paid in six months from the day of sale.

New Philadelphia.
THE proprietors of the high ground in the neighbourhood of this city, known by the name of Springettsbury Manor, bounded on the west by the river Schuylkill, on the east by Fourth street, from Schuylkill, on the north by Francis' lane, and on the south by Callowhill street have agreed to appropriate it for the purpose of build- ing a new city as a summer retreat.
The plan in two sections may be seen at the Coffee-house. The main street, 100 feet wide, runs nearly east and west along the top of the ridge, striking Schuylkill a little above the upper ferry, where nature has placed everlasting abbat- ments, and stone in abundance to form a perma- nent bridge of one arch, that cannot be approach- ed by ice or floods.
A street of 66 feet wide, is laid out on each side of, and parallel to the Main Street. These are crossed by five new streets at right angles, and by the continuation of Front, Second, Third and Fourth streets from Schuylkill.
The situation is high, airy and healthy, and com- mands an extensive prospect. The water is good. The canal runs obliquely through it. It is just a sufficient distance from the Delaware for a pleasant walk, to give an appetite to dinner after the business of the day is over.

PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 5.
Entered from 'A Journal of the Occurrences at the Temple during the Confinement of Louis XVI. late King of France,' by M. Clery, the King's valet-de-chambre.'
CONTINUED.
THEIR Majesties, for three months that they had now been shut up in the Tower had been accustomed to the sight only of Mu- nicipal Officers, when on the 1st of Novem- ber, a deputation from the National Con- vention was announced to them. This de- putation consisted of Drouet, the Post-master at Varennes, Chabot, formerly a capuchin, Dubois Crance, Duprat, and two others, whose names I do not recollect. The royal family, and particularly the queen, shudder- ed with horror at the sight of Drouet, who insolently leant himself by her: Chabot fol- lowing his example, also took a chair. They asked the king how he was treated, and if he was supplied with necessaries. "I complain of nothing," replied his majesty, "and only request that the committee will supply my valet de chambre with 2000 livres, or leave it with the council, to defray the small cur- rent expenses, and that we may have some linen and other clothes, of which we are in the greatest need." The deputies promised it should be attended to, but nothing was sent.
Some days after, the king caught a great cold in his head, on which I requested that M. Dubois, his majesty's dentist, might be sent for. It was debated for three days, and at last refused. A fever coming on, his ma- jesty was permitted to consult M. le Mon- nier, his chief physician. It would be diffi- culty to paint the grief of this venerable old man, when he saw his master.
The Queen and her children never left the King during the day, waited upon him with me, and often assisted me to make his bed. At night, I sat up alone with His Majesty. M. le Monnier came twice a day, accompanied by a great number of Muni- cipal Officers: he was searched, and not per- mitted to speak but in a loud voice. Once when the King had taken medicine, M. le Monnier begged to stay some hours with him: as he continued standing, while the Municipal Officers were sitting with their hats on, his Majesty asked him to take a chair, which he refused through respect, at which the Commissioners loudly murmured. The King continued ill ten days.
Soon after, the young Prince, who slept in His Majesty's chamber, and whom the Officers would not consent to have removed to the Queen's, caught a cold which was at- tended with fever. The Queen was the more anxious about it, as she could not ob- tain permission, although she used the most earnest entreaties, to be all night with her son. During the time she was allowed to be with him she attended him with the most affectionate care. The Queen afterwards caught the same disorder, and so did Ma- dame Royale and Madame Elizabeth. — M. le Monnier was suffered to continue his visits.
I fell ill in my turn. My room was damp, and without a fire place, and the lit- tle air I breathed in it was confined by the flaming screen at the window. I was attack- ed with a rheumatic fever and great pain in the side that forced me to keep my bed. I got up the first morning to wait upon the King, but His Majesty, seeing the state I was in, would not suffer it, but ordered me to go to bed, and dressed the Dauphin him- self.
During the first day the Dauphin scarce- ly ever left me; he brought me all that I drank. At night, the King took an oppor- tunity, when he was least observed, to come into my room: he made me a glass of cool- ing liquor, and said to me, with a kindness that brought tears into my eyes: "I wish I could attend you myself, but you know how we are watched: keep up your spi- rits; to-morrow you will see my Phy- sician." At supper time, the Royal Fa- mily came into my room, and Madame Eli- zabeth, unperceived by the Municipal Offi- cers, gave me a small bottle of linctus. — Though she had a violent cold, she deprived herself of the medicine to give it to me: I wished to have declined it, but she insisted upon my taking it. After supper, the Queen undressed the Prince and put him to bed, and Madame Elizabeth rolled the King's hair.
The next morning, M. le Monnier order- ed me to be bled, but the consent of the Commune was necessary for the admission of a Surgeon. They talked of removing me to the Palace in the Temple: but fearing I should never be permitted to return to the Tower, if once I went out of it, I excused myself from the bleeding, and even pretend- ed to be better. At night we had new mu- nicipal officers, and nothing more was said about removing me.
Turgi asked if he might set up with me at night, which he and his two comrades were allowed to do, and they took it in turn. I was six days confined to my bed, and the Royal Family come to see me every day. — Madame Elizabeth often brought me medi- cines which she ordered as for herself. So many kind attentions greatly recruited my strength; and instead of feeling pain I had very soon only to feel gratitude and admira- tion. Who but would have been affected at seeing this august Family in a manner, sus- pending the remembrance of their own pro- tracted miseries, to attend the sick bed of one of their servants!
Here I must not forget to relate an action of the Dauphin's, which proves how great was the goodness of his heart, and how he profited by the example of virtue which he had continually before his eyes.
One evening after putting him to bed, I withdrew to give place for the Queen and
Princesses, who went to kiss him, and with him good night in his bed. Madame Eli- zabeth who had been prevented from speak- ing to me by the watchfulness of the Mu- nicipal Officers, took that time to put into his hands a little box of ipecacuanza lozenges, desiring him to give it to me when I came back. The Queen and Princesses went up to their apartments, the King retired to his closet, and I took my supper. It was eleven o'clock before I went back to the King's chamber to turn down His Majesty's bed: I was alone, and the Prince called me in a low voice: I was much surprised to find him awake, and fearing he was ill, asked what was the matter. "Nothing," said he, "only my aunt left me a little box for you, and I would not go to sleep before I gave it to you; I am glad you are come, for my eyes have been already shut several times." The tears came into mine, he perceived it, and kissed me, and in two minutes was fast asleep.
To this sensibility the Prince added a great many attractions, and all the amiable qualities of his age. He would often by his arch simplicity, the liveness of his dis- position, and his little frolics, make his Au- gust parents forget their mournful situation, yet he felt it himself; he knew, young as he was, that he was in a prison, and that he was watched by enemies. His words and actions had assumed that circumspection which instinct prompts perhaps at every age under circumstances of danger. I never heard him speak either of the Thuilleries, or of Versailles, or of any object that could recall to the king or queen a painful recollection. If he saw a Municipal Officer more civil than his colleagues coming, away he ran to the Queen in haste to tell her of it, saying, with his countenance full of satisfaction — "Mamma, it is Mr. Such-a-one to-day."
One day, he kept his eyes fixed upon a Municipal Officer, whom he said he recol- lected: the man asked him where he had seen him, but the Prince refused to answer; then leaning over to the Queen, "It was," said he to her in a low voice, "in our jour- ney to Varennes."
The following anecdote affords another proof of his sensibility. — There was a stone cutter employed in making holes at the an- tichamber door to admit enormous bolts; the Prince, while the man was eating his breakfast, played with his tools: the King took the mallet and chisel out of his son's hands, and showed him how to handle them. He used them for some minutes. The work- man, moved at seeing the King so employ- ed, said to his Majesty: — "When you go out of this Tower you will be able to say that you had worked yourself at your own prison." — "Ah!" replied the King, when and how shall I go out?" — The Dauphin burst into tears, and the King, letting fall the mallet and chisel, returned to his room, where he walked about hastily and in great agitation.
On the second of December, the Muni- cipality of the 10th of August was superceded by another, with the title of Provisional Municipality. Many of the former Muni- cipal officers were re-elected. I at first sup- posed that this new body might be of a better composition than the former, and I hoped for some favorable changes in the regulation of the prison; but I was disappointed. Se- veral of the new officers gave me reason to regret their predecessors; they were still coarser in their manners, but I found it easy, from their way of talking, to make myself acquainted with whatever they knew. I had to study the members of this new mu- nicipality, in order to judge of their conduct and disposition, the former ones were more insolent; the malice of the latter was more systematic and refined.
Till this period, the King had been attend- ed only by one Municipal officer, and the Queen by another. The municipality order- ed that there should be two to each, and thence forward, I found it more difficult to speak with the king and the royal family. On the other hand, the council which had hitherto been held in one of the halls in the palace in the temple, was removed to a cham- ber on the ground floor of the tower. The new municipal officers were desirous of sur- passing the former in zeal, and this zeal was an emulation of tyranny.
On the 7th of December, an officer at the head of a deputation of the commune came to the king, and read a decree, ordering that the persons in confinement should be depriv- ed of "knives, razors, scissors, and all o- ther sharp instruments, which are usually taken from criminals, and that the strictest search should be made for the same, as well on their persons as in their apartments." In reading this his voice faltered: it was easy to perceive the violence he did to his feelings, and he has since shown by his conduct, that he had consented to come to the temple, only in the hope of being useful to the royal family.
The King took out of his pockets a knife and a small morocco pocket book, from which he gave the penknife and scissors. The officers searched every corner of the apart- ment, and carried off the razors, the curling irons, the powder scraper, instruments for the teeth, and other articles of gold and sil- ver. The same search was made in my room, and I was ordered to empty my pockets.
They then went up to the queen, read the decree over again to her and the princes- ses, and deprived them even of the little ar- ticles they used in working.
In an hour afterwards, I was summoned to the council chamber, where I was asked if I did not know what were the articles that remained in the pocket-book, which the King had returned into his pocket. "I or- der you," said a municipal officer named Sermaize, "to take the pocket-book away this night." I replied, that it was not my business to put the decrees of the commune into execution, nor to search the king's pockets. "Clery is in the right," said another municipal officer, addressing himself to Sermaize, "it was your business to have made the search."
A minute was made of all the articles taken
from the royal family; which were put up in separate packets and sealed. I was then commanded to sign my name to an order, by which I was enjoined to give notice to the council if I found any sharp instruments in possession of the king or royal family, or in any of their apartments. These different articles were all sent to the commune.
By examining the registers of the coun- cil of the temple, it may be seen that I had often been compelled to sign decrees and de- mands of which I was very far from ap- proving either the form or substance. I ne- ver did sign any thing, say any thing, or do any thing but as specially directed by the king or queen. A refusal on my part might have separated me from their majesties, to whom I had devoted my existence; and my signature at the bottom of certain decrees only went to show that they had been read to me.
Sermaize, the person of whom I have been speaking, went with me to his majesty's apartment. The king was sitting at the fire, with the tongs in his hand. Sermaize desired by authority of the council to see what was left in his pocket-book: the king took it out of his pocket and opened it. It contained a turn screw, a gun worm and a little gun feel. Sermaize made him give them up. The king, turning on his heel, asked if the tongs he held in his hand were not also a sharp instrument? When the mu- nicipal officer was gone down, I had an op- portunity of informing his majesty of all that had passed at the council relative to this second search.

A QUESTION,
For Natural Philosophers to solve.
From what cause is it, that a key suspend- ed in a tumbler or wine glass, by a thread twisted at one end round the finger, shall vibrate until it strikes on the side of the glass the hour of the day or night, and then ceases to vibrate? I have seen the experi- ment made sundry times, both in the night and day, and it never failed telling the near- est hour. And why is it, that the same key tied to a stick, and suspended in the same manner, shall not vibrate at all? It will appear more extraordinary, when it is considered, that the division of time into twelve equal hours, is an arbitrary divi- sion. R. P.
TRIESTE, December 20.
Fresh accounts have been received of the expedition accomplished by the Bafhaw of Janina against the French garrisons of Pre- vona, Voinizzo, Pargo and other posts, situ- ated in Albania, belonging to the late re- public of Venice. The Turkish troops em- ployed in this expedition consisted of thirty- thousand men. They gave no quarters to the French, who lost Gen. Hotte and the general of brigade Salicetti.

AFFAIRS OF IRELAND.
On Sunday morning about 9 o'clock, a messenger arrived at Burlington-House...
The house of lords adjourned at 12 o'clock on Tuesday night; the division being for the address 46, against it 19.
Extract of a private letter from Dublin, dated January 13, 10 P. M. Our house of commons did not break up till near two this day, after sitting from four yesterday.
At 12 o'clock this day they divided—majority one. A second division took place—for the major question 107—against it 105—majority two.
The majority consisted of seceders, discontented loyalists, affronted placemen, and men turned out of office, who opposed the union, because the speaker was hostile.
It is reported that Lord Castlereagh has pledged his word to withdraw the measure until the people shall demand it.
The kings and Coles, (lords Kingsborough and Enniskellen) who have had a personal disagreement with Lord Cornwallis, made though supposed friends to the measure, a difference of 22 in the division against government.
We have illuminations and bells ringing but no mischief. The chancellor is protected by a guard, for a mob came and threatened to be riotous.
The opposition in the commons are quite proud of their strength; but they would soon fall, if proper measures were taken.
The address in the house of lords was moved by the Earl of Ormond, and seconded by Lord Glendore. Lord Powerscourt proposed an amendment, the substance of which was, that the Parliament of Ireland, was not competent to alienate the Independence of Ireland...
The mail which arrived yesterday from Ireland brought a very interesting report of the leading points urged in the debate, in the two houses of parliament on the opening of the sessions, which we have given at some length.
By this as it may, we have grounds to hope that though the consideration of the measure may be postponed in Ireland, it will not be abandoned. Mr. Pitt will, as we flatter ourselves, bring forward his resolutions on Thursday in parliament, containing the general outline of the plan of union, which will probably meet the concurrence of the legislature of this kingdom...
AFFAIRS OF ITALY.
[From the Redacteur.]
PARIS, January.
A letter from Rome, dated Dec. 16, says The French army, after having had several partial actions with the Neapolitan army, consisting of 80,000 men has driven them entirely out of the territory of the Roman republic.
where the agitation of the public mind is so great that a general insurrection is dreaded. This Gen. Mack is, however, called a great man. In the present instance he has proved how his infatuation is only equalled by his cowardice.
Council of Five Hundred, Jan. 1.
The President announced, that he had received a message from the executive directory, containing the happy news of a victory gained by the French army in Italy.
Vive la Republic.
The secretary read the message. Eighty thousand Neapolitans had inundated the Roman territory. The French army, having been attacked without any declaration of war, and unable to retain any other possession than that of St. Angelo, said to the Romans, "in twenty days we will again be within your walls."
New testimonies of joy manifested themselves on the reading of this message, which was ordered to be published.
Echaffereaux, the elder, and Porte, in succession, paid the tribute of gratitude to the republicans who had distinguished themselves by new triumphs.
CHAMPIONET.
Gen. Championet has addressed the following letter to the Roman consuls: Monte Rotondo, 24th Frimaire, Dec. 14. Rome is free, but it is not yet worthy to receive the French within its walls.
CHAMPIONET.
Championet, general in chief, to the army. Comrades, Whilst you were beating the Neapolitans, the army of Italy dethroned the king of Sardinia.
In every engagement with the enemy, you have constantly beaten him. Another march of six days, and Naples will be conquered, &c. &c.
The general in chief orders, that every individual employed in the army, subject to the requisition, or the conscription, shall immediately resign his office, and be incorporated in a demi-brigade or in a regiment of cavalry.
Extract of a letter from citizen Hillarion Point, General of Brigade.
Aquila, 28th Frimaire, Dec. 18. The provinces of Abruzzo are in our possession; and yesterday, at 9 o'clock at night, we entered Aquila, the capital of this province, driving before us the Neapolitan levies, en masse, that is to say, the self-named volunteers put in requisition in these provinces.
The king of Naples did not expect this visit so soon; the high and rugged mountains which encircle Abruzzo, serve as a natural barrier to the country. To reach Aquila, we marched thirty six miles through very difficult passes and defiles, and crossed the highest of the Appenine mountains.
We found picked up in the city of Aquila a proclamation of the king of Naples, particularly addressed to the inhabitants of the provinces of Abruzzo, and dated about five or six days before from the head quarters at Rome.
tations, "brave Samnite's warlike race of heroes, imitate your ancestors; you amount to seven hundred thousand inhabitants—march, and the business is finished."
Had they been as courageous as they were numerous, they might have given us a good deal of trouble; but this en masse did not long continue to resist us.
We have enlarged several patriots who were confined in the citadel of this place on account of their democratic opinions, among whom was one Jourdan who has been four years in prison, on an accusation of having presided in a certain club in Naples.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the army of Rome, addressed, 3d Nivose, (Dec. 23) to one of his friends at Paris.
General Kellerman being sent by the general in chief of the Army of Rome against Viterbo, to punish the vile inhabitants for the cruelties exercised by them on our soldiers, found his march stopped by the Neapolitan general Dawas, who with a great body of troops composed of runaways, fortuitously rallied, was making his retreat slowly, and in good order.
Kellerman, triumphant, then returned to Viterbo; he found the walls covered with the rebels in arms, and "bristling" with cannon. They refused to surrender at the first summons; the following was addressed to them by the general in chief, Championet: "Viterbo will open its gates, or Viterbo will be only a heap of ashes."
Championet, notwithstanding the force remaining before Viterbo, has continued the rapid course of his success, and his arms contradict the stupid falsehoods with which the imperial pen of the Frankfort Journalist daily fills his paper, smudging the republicans, and exciting the contempt of those of his readers whose reason has not been destroyed by a foolish aristrocracy.
Championet advances and puts to flight the Neapolitans from all the posts in which they were entrenched in order to take breath. Terracina, reduced, recognizes the laws of the great nation, and the republican flags, flying on the borders of the Stanglano, carry terror even to Naples, from whence their colours may be perceived.
PARMA, December 19.
The king of Sardinia arrived at Piacenza at three in the morning of the 17th, with a train of twenty carriages and three chariots, escorted by 120 French hussars and 80 Piedmontese dragoons, who wore the French cockade.
The first column of the Russian troops has already arrived at Brune.
LEGHORN, January 4.
On the 2d we learnt, that the French had relaxed the expedition of their march; that in the evening they had agreed to evacuate Tuscany whenever the Neapolitans evacuated Leghorn, and the blockade of the port should cease.
January 11.
Advices received here from Palermo, in four days, state, that the king and queen of Naples, and all their suite, had reached there on the 23th December, after a very dreadful storm.
VIENNA, January 9.
The archduke Joseph has repaired to Peterburgh. It is said that he is to espouse the eldest daughter of the emperor of Russia.
PARIS, January 6.
The French emigrants, at the request of the republican ministers, have received orders to quit Russia. It is stated in many of the papers, that
the people of the island of Sardinia have refused to receive their unfortunate sovereign. January 8.
The king of Sardinia passed by Parma. He was obliged to remain there some days, because his wife was taken ill.
Admiral Nelson, on leaving Leghorn, divided his fleet into two squadrons; one of these failed for the coast of Genoa, the other for Sicily.

On Wednesday arrived from Alicante, via Gibraltar, the fast-sailing armed brig Alert, capt. Rich, only 29 days from the latter port, where he remained but 8 hours.
Capt. Rich mentions that reports had prevailed of the assassination of Buonaparte; but the latest were, that he was living and at Grand Cairo.
A letter from an officer on board the frigate United States, dated Prince Rupert's Bay, Feb. 17 mentions, that the French privateer which they sunk was commanded by one Peter Solemone, and had been four years in service as a pirate on the American commerce.
The same letter adds, that the United States national ships on that station had conveyed 84 sail of American merchantmen from the clutches of Frenchmen; and remarks, that these defensive measures, ought to stop the clamour of Jacobinism, which has so long raved against the expense of a naval armament.
In another letter of the same date it is stated, that a report is in circulation that Capt. Nicholson has captured a French frigate after an obstinate engagement of three hours and an half.
NEW-YORK, April 4.
A gentleman just arrived from Providence, which place he left on Monday, informs, that just before he sailed, news had been received there of the capture in the West-Indies, of another French frigate, by one of the United States' ships of war—after a severe action.

The disasters of Naples and Sardinia are awful monitors to those nations who are still so infatuated as to behold with unconcern, or so depraved as to view with complacency, the conduct of a power which seeks its establishment and can only find it in the bouleversement of every existing order of things.
Far, however, from advancing this establishment, the events alluded to can tend only to prolong that state of things, which is, in itself, a far better chastisement for the crimes of Revolutionists, than human ingenuity could devise.
The myriads of the Pentarchy having, like a horde of half-starved Jackals, devoured the heart's blood of Naples and Sardinia, and Sardinia, and left the body an useless and corrupting mass, appear to be now swarming towards the domains of the Medici.
