A very valuable MERCHANT MILL,
A DISTILLERY and BREWERY, and sundry STONE QUARRIES to be let. I will rent my merchant Mill at the little Falls of Potomac, for any term not less than seven, nor more than eleven years, from the first day of September next. The mill-house is 42 by 40 feet, three stories high, built with stone, and has in it three pairs of French Burr Stones, two over that 18 feet water-wheels, and Evans's machinery complete, with every other thing proper and necessary for carrying on the business with dispatch, and at as little expense as possible, all in good order. From the mill to my landing on the Potomac river, (where craft of any burthen may deliver grain and take in flour) it is about 40 yards, and from thence by water to George-Town and the City of Washington, about 3 miles, and to Alexandria about 11 miles. This situation, aided by a sufficient capital, will command the produce of a very extensive back country, where large quantities of wheat and other grain is annually made, the distance to it being from 8 to 10 miles less than to any market town upon the navigation of the Potomac. There are on the premises a large stone Coopers' shop, a stone granary, and a commodious miller's house. At the landing aforesaid a bridge is now building over the Potomac, which is in great forwardness and probably will be finished the ensuing fall. There are also on the premises, a Brewery and Distillery, built with stone, in them are three stills, two coppers or boilers, with every necessary article, all new, and in good order, and sufficiently large to carry on the Brewery and Distillery upon a very extensive plan. This property I will rent for the same term of years. Upon my lands adjoining the premises, and along the banks of the river, where craft may load with ease and dispatch, is an immense quantity of building and foundation-stone. Four quarries are now open, and as many more may be opened with ease: the stone taken from these quarries is better, and has the preference at this market, to any other stone brought to it. I will rent these quarries separately or together as may best suit. On the top of the hill, and about 200 yards from the mill, is a stone Dwelling-house, large enough for the accommodation of a family: also, a kitchen, dairy, smoke-house, &c. and a garden, enclosed and in cultivation, the soil of which is equal in goodness to any in this state. I will also rent this property. Adjoining to the Brewery and Distillery is a Smith's shop, in which is a complete set of Blacksmith's tools, which I will also rent, and if agreeable I will hire to the tenant two negro blacksmiths, one of them is a complete workman. I rent out the stone quarries, I will sell three crafts, which were built for the purpose of carrying stone: they will altogether bring upwards of 90 perch. Immediate possession will be given. For terms apply to the subscriber in this town. The Mill, Brewery and Distillery, with their appurtenances, will be delivered to the tenant or tenants in good repair, and must be so returned, at the expiration of the lease or leases.

ANTICIPATED NEWS!
By a gentleman from the western district, on whose information we can rely, the votes of all the towns for a Representative in Congress, in the place of Mr. Sedgwick appointed Senator, are for the several candidates in the aggregate, as follows, viz.
Hon. T. J. SKINNER, Esq. 1,329 EPHRAIM WILLIAMS, Esq. 1,399 Scattering votes 55
So that if due return be made to the Secretary's office, Mr. Williams will be elected by a majority of fifteen votes.
The campaign has been very warm; and FEDERALISM the rallying point;—even the enemies of Mr. Williams, in electioneering, from policy, were compelled to borrow its virtues—they strained every nerve to keep up its appearance. Should the above statement prove not quite so accurate, as it is believed to be, and there should be no choice on another trial, there cannot be a doubt be admitted of Mr. Williams' election.
COMMUNICATION.
THE Legislature of Massachusetts has at last granted a turnpike on the great road in this country. The example is valuable, because it will hasten the decline of the prejudices against this much-needed improvement. In a country of farmers, it is their great interest to have good markets; and what avails a good market if you cannot go to it with your produce, or not without losing your money? Bad roads are a tax on the farmers of the worst kind, for they operate to discourage, and of course to prevent the productions of the earth. In this way, they are heavier and more oppressive on this state than the war tax of 1781.
Highway taxes are no trifles. In some towns, they affect large sums yearly, which probably in many cases are equal to an eighth, perhaps a sixth of the cost of a turnpike—and yet when the money is worked out, a passenger would be puzzled to know that any thing had been done. This is paying dear for good roads without having them. If at least we buy wit, it will be a good penny worth.
BOSTON, September 10.
FEDERAL AFFAIRS.
From the great number of Candidates it is probable there will not be a choice of all the Federal
Representatives of New-Hampshire, as follows: The towns we have heard from, give Mr. Jeremiah Smith, 535 Abiel Foster, 615 William Gordon, 405 Nath'l. Rogers, 273 Hon. W. Langdon, 374 Thomas Cogswell, 276 John Cilley, 170 Nathaniel Peabody, 294
The four first compose with others, who have many votes, the federal ticket.
Christopher Champlin, Esq. is elected in Rhode-Island. He is a firm federalist.
The Hon. Mr. Elmsley, is appointed Chief-Justice of Canada.
A London paper says, Sir William Geary, in gaining his election, has lost his estate.—It is computed that he expended upwards of 20,000l. in the contest. To answer the demands of which the estates of the late Admiral Geary, are advertised to be sold.
FOR THE CENTINEL.
Mr. Russell,
IF should seem, that the disorganizers of the United States, are the only villains of their country to be found. In every other part of the world the American character and government, are spoken of in terms of the highest respect by all the liberal and enlightened. In France not a breath of obloquy is vented—in Holland, and in short, every place I have heard from, we are not only mentioned with praise, but they appear happy in our prosperity. A circumstance, though in itself apparently trifling, will convey the sense those who direct affairs in Holland, have of the Executive of the United States:—One of the new Dutch ships of the line, has lately been named Washington—an honor not conferred on any of the sages and patriots in their own Revolution. We also see, in a Gazette Nationale, which I send you, the account of the celebration of the anniversary of the French Republic, and of the brilliant entertainment given by Noel, the Minister of the French Republic, at the Hague; in which the following toast was given:—"The United States of America—May a robust and numerous population, flourishing commerce, profound security, and unalterable tranquility, be the result of their union; and may a happy alliance with the French and Batavian republics, founded on a strict regard to their interests and principles, render common to the three nations the means of their respective prosperity."—Or giving this toast, Citizen Dumas, Charge d'affaires of the United States, a respectable old man, replied to it with the liveliest sensibility.
PATRIOTISM.
PITTSBURGH, September 10.
Died, in Canonsburgh, on the 28th of August, JOHN OLIPHANT, A. B. lately from Philadelphia, on a tour through the western country.—This young gentleman was the son of the late Mr. William Oliphant, teacher in the university of Pennsylvania.—Of a fair and amiable character, liberally educated, and promised fair to be a very valuable member of society. He was seized with a violent dysentery and nervous fever, which in two weeks put a period to his days in the 21st year of his age.
WASHINGTON (Penn.) Sept. 6.
On Sunday evening last, Mary Stewart, a little girl of nine or ten years old, was found murdered in the house of her step father, James Ridgway, on Cross creek, in this county.—It seems the deceased was left in charge of the house, while the rest of the family were at meeting; and in their absence some person committed the above horrid murder, by dashing the child's brains out with an axe, and afterwards robbed the house of a sum of money amounting to near 100 dollars, together with several other articles. A man calling himself sometimes James Stewart, & at other times Brown, who was seen loitering about the neighbourhood a few days before, is strongly suspected. Several persons are in pursuit of him, and it is hoped he will be shortly apprehended; and if guilty meet that punishment, which the perpetrator of so horrid a crime richly deserves.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, September 16.
LATEST ENGLISH ACCOUNTS.
By a gentleman who came passenger in the Jenny, from London, we have received London papers to the 28th July. Among the most important articles are the official accounts of the advances of the French armies to, and the capture of the city of Frankfort, which we have this day given at large. Other articles begin to speak more confidently of a negotiation for peace having taken place with the Emperor; those under the Vienna head particularly, although we do not find any official or positive data on which the circumstance is founded. On the subject, however, a letter from a gentleman at Deal to his friend in this city, dated 26th July, and received by the Jenny, has the following remarks: "I have just landed at this place from Havre. There is positive news that the Emperor has acceded to the terms proposed by the French, and that peace will shortly take place."
We had on Wednesday afternoon a severe though beneficial storm of rain, thunder and lightning, which lasted until midnight. Our streets have been drenched and cleansed by the torrents of rain, and the atmosphere purified by the thunder and lightning. The house of Mr. Joseph Butwell, in Water-street, near the Fly market was struck, the roof perforated and the top of the chimney injured.
In the night, a public house, joining the balloon house, was struck, but not much injured as we learn; the balloon house, and the balloon itself, it is said, were blown away by the gult.
A barn at Bushwick on Long-Island, was burned by lightning yesterday evening.
At the celebration of the fete in honor of American Liberty, by the citizens of the United States in Paris, on the 4th of July last, a cover was laid
and a place reserved which every guest occupied with feelings of admiration and regret. Upon the cover was fixed a paper with this inscription: "Mr. General La Fayette, Commander of the American Legion Infantry." Mr. Gore the American Commissioner in England was presented to the king on the 13th July, by Mr. Plunket, the American Minister. Died, on the 13th inst. much lamented by his numerous friends and acquaintance, Mr. SAMUEL P. LORD, Merchant, of this city.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,
By the Jenny, Captain Chauncy, arrived yesterday in 42 days from London.
FRANCE.
COUNCIL OF ANCIENTS.
Sitting of July 8.
The Council had been in a general committee from 12 o'clock. At two, the sitting became public, when the President announced that the Council were to proceed to the appel nominal , for the purpose of voting by private ballot on the impeachment of Drouet.
All the members appeared in costume. The individual called upon was not permitted to approach the bureau to deposit his vote, until the member who preceded him had returned to his place. Two Secretaries, placed one on each side of the President, assisted in inspecting the urn where the suffrages were deposited. One of the Secretaries afterwards received the bulletins regularly from the President, after he had read the contents, and exhibited them to the view of the Council. The most profound silence prevailed during the sitting. The members who did not answer to their names on the first call, were called again.
On calling up the votes there appeared, Present 199      Absent 51 For the revolution 140 Against it      58
Majority 82
The Council then declared, that there were grounds of accusation against Drouet, Representative of the people, and accordingly configured him to the High Court of Justice, for trial.
The Council referred to the committees a variety of resolutions which had been received from the Council of Five Hundred.
PARIS, July 20.
We may expect important and speedy changes in the politics of Europe. It is certain that the government of England refused to pay the Emperor, for two reasons: the first is, that money is very difficult to be found; the second is, that the government would risk the losing of it, because the Emperor would only be enabled by it to conclude a separate peace, which the French armies are negotiating with great activity. Every thing announces that a separate peace with the Emperor is not far off. We are assured that the Marquis de Gallo has made some propositions on the subject at Basle; that the Austrian minister and the Prussian minister begin to visit each other; that the latter has required from the Austrian minister the arrest of the ci-devant Marquis de Poterat, who had made several journeys to Switzerland and Vienna.
On the other hand the Empress of Russia is not herself sufficiently sure of the support of Austria so terribly weakened by the war; nor of the assistance of England, who is herself negotiating, and who, if she does not conclude a separate peace, may have to resist all the efforts of the French and Dutch Republics, assisted perhaps by Spain.
The Empress appears in consequence to have adjourned her projects against Turkey. She is offering an alliance with Turkey at the moment in which her troops marched, and were about to attack the Ottoman Power. She confines herself to conquests in Persia, and round the Caspian Sea. She labors to surround the Turks by degrees, and then she will be able to attack them without danger. (L'Esprit.)
The elections began to day in Paris for the formation of the Municipalities. Hitherto only Bureaux have been formed. Every thing is tranquil.
July 21.
We see with regret that the Primary Assemblies are not very numerously attended; they are, however very tranquil, and occupied alone in the object for which they were convoked.
From Inspruck we learn, that general Wurmser is arrived at Roveredo.
The camp that was in the plain of Grenelle has been removed to Vincennes.
A private letter from General Molins, dated Strasburgh, announces that the Prince of Wurtemberg has sent two ministers to General Moreau, to treat for an armistice; that as his commissioners had not returned, and might have been taken by the Austrians; he sent two more commissioners to Basle; that the latter, on their arrival at Basle having heard of the successes of the French, and fearing that they should arrive too late to save their master's territories, went directly to Strasburgh, and from thence to head-quarters to treat with the commander in chief.
(Tableau de la France.)
The assemblages continue in the Thuilleries; Legendre occasionally walks there—but is not seen in the group.
ARMY of the SAMBRE and MEUSE.
Official Details.
From the army of the Sambre and Meuse, to the Executive Directory.
Head Quarters at Bonamas, 26th Messidor, July 14.
"Citizens Directors, In my communication of the 21st Messidor, I had the honour to acquaint you, that the army under my command had passed the Eahn. I have now to present you with a detail of their operations up to this day."
"On the 21st, the left wing under general Kleber, crossed the Eahn in three divisions. The left wing, commanded by general Lelievre, effected a passage near Gieten; the centre division, under the

command of general Colaud, at Wetzlaer; and the division on the right at Leun. Generals Lechvre and Bonnard did not fall in with the enemy; but the advanced guard of general Colaud's division, commanded by adjutant-general Ney, engaged in the plains in front of Butzbach, general Ney's detachment, stationed in the vicinity of Obermeil, Maulheim and the Wetter, with the whole of his cavalry, in front of Nidermeil.
General Kleber, at the commencement, considered this battle only as a skirmish between the advanced guards; but the engagement presently assumed a serious and most portentous aspect. Adjutant-general Ney, much inferior to the enemy in cavalry, advanced, and supported by the 20th demi-brigade of light infantry, gained in an instant the summit of the first heights. General Kleber, rejoiced at the success of this effort, and observing every column stationed where they had been directed, ordered general Ney to avail himself of his position, and establish his posts; but on receiving information that the enemy were in motion, and indicated a disposition to make an attack, he directed general Colaud, who was encamped in the rear of Butzbach, to take a position in front of Obermeil for the purpose of supporting his advanced guard.
While these arrangements were making, several charges of cavalry were effected, in which the 11th regiment of dragoons, and the 6th regiment of chasseurs distinguished themselves. The first of these corps having made a feint to retreat, contrived to lead the enemy's cavalry into an ambuscade of infantry, who discharged a volley of small shot and canister shot. The carnage was dreadful.
The village of Obermeil, of which our troops had previously taken possession, was surrounded and attacked by the enemy with the utmost vigour. Adjutant-general Ney charged them with the greatest impetuosity, and repulsed them. The enemy rallied, returned to the charge, and took the post, after being four times repulsed; but adjutant-general Ney having rallied his troops, attacked, in his turn, and eventually succeeded in taking the village. This obstinate and sanguinary conflict, terminated at 9 o'clock in the evening.
The detachment under the command of general Grenier, which had filed off by Weilburg, did not fall in with the enemy. The detachment under general Championet, which had filed off by Limburg, met the enemy at Oberseelera. General Championet attacked, and the enemy retreated to Camberg, where, on their arrival, they covered the plains with their numerous cavalry, and planted their infantry in ambuscade, in the wood of Wirges. General Championet, at the head of his infantry, gained possession of the heights on the right and left of Camberg, and general Klein, at the head of the 12th dragoons and the 12th chasseurs, charged the enemy's cavalry with such impetuosity, that they were totally routed with dreadful slaughter.
The battle was long and terrible. The enemy left the field of battle covered with dead bodies. Thirty-five waggon loads of their wounded have been collected, and 50 prisoners taken, among whom is an officer of distinction, and 150 horses.
After this defeat, the enemy brought fresh troops into the field, apparently to take their revenge; but a brigade of cavalry of reserve, having come up to support the 12th dragoons and 12th chasseurs, and several cannon being discharged while their operations were suspended, induced them to prefer a retreat. The conduct of the republican troops, in this battle, merits the highest eulogium, and entitles them to the gratitude of their country. General Klein distinguished himself in an eminent degree, by his courage and military talents.
On the 22d, general Kleber was informed that the enemy had taken post at Friedberg. He sent orders to general Lefebvre, who was on the left bank of the Wetter, to push his advanced guard toward Bauernheim and Offenheim, to follow with his own division; and to attack the enemy, but not to attack them until he was informed of the arrival of general Lefebvre. But the enemy having, in fact perceived this manoeuvre, retreated with precipitation, but afterwards rallied, and drew up in order between Allensbach and Rössbach. They made prodigious efforts to hinder the division of general Lefebvre to pass by Offenheim and Fauerbach; but, in spite of their resistance, that division ascended the heights and maintained their position.
The advanced guard of the division under general Colaud, commanded by adjutant-general Ney, advanced in pursuit of the enemy as far as Ockstadt. General Jacobin, at the head of the 43d half brigade of infantry and the 11th regiment of dragoons, marched against Friedberg. The gates of that city were forced open, in despite of a brisk fire of musketry and artillery; and this column, encouraged by its general, the adjutant-general Lacroix, and citizen Friderheim, aid-de-camp to general Colaud, entered the town, drove the enemy from thence, after having killed upwards of 200 men: a 13 pounder, and a standard, after having been taken and retaken several times, remained with our troops.
The division of general Colaud and general Bonnard having arrived, the enemy found themselves pressed on both flanks, and were compelled to retreat. General Richepaupe and adjutant-general Ney, pursued them until night. Beside the piece of artillery taken at Friedberg, 2 others were taken on the plain before that town. The loss of enemy, in the affairs of the 21st and 22d, may be estimated at 2000 men, of whom 500, including 8 officers, have been made prisoners.
We have lost the citizen Rouilly, aid-de-camp to general Lefebvre, an officer of the greatest merit, and whose zeal and valour could only be exceeded by his modesty, and the excellent qualities of his heart.
The column commanded by general Grenier fell in with the rear of the enemy behind Homburg. General Oliver, at the head of two squadrons, attacked, routed and pursued them with impetuosity. He took 130 prisoners, of whom two are officers. The enemy left sixty dead upon the field of battle.
The column commanded by general Championet found the enemy at Esch. They were attacked and repulsed, but the ground was disputed the
whole day, and it was not until eight o'clock in the evening that general Championet reached the heights of Königstein. The column of general Bernadotte engaged the enemy on the heights of Neuhoff. They were driven near to Wilsbaden, with the loss of some men killed and wounded, and twenty prisoners, of whom one was a captain.
On the 23d, the army halted to wait for provisions, but in the mean time general Championet invested the fort of Königstein.
On the 24th, the army was again on its march. The right wing passed the mountains and advanced to the plain of the Mein. The left wing after having passed the Nidda, took a position before Frankfort.
On the 25th, the magistrates of Frankfort were summoned to open the gates of that city. The Austrians who were then in garrison, opposed it, so that the day was passed in deputations from the magistrates to us and to the Austrian generals. But as the enemy seemed disposed to occupy the place, our artillery began to fire at ten o'clock at night. In a short time one quarter of the town was on fire.—Then the Austrians began to offer propositions, and a capitulation was signed, of which I send a copy. On the following morning we entered into Frankfort.
The troops have fought in all these actions with their usual courage.
Signed, "JOURDAN." The Commissary of Government with the Army of the Sambre and Meuse, to the Executive Directory.
Citizens Directors. The enemy made no resistance, as was expected, in their position at Bergen. They entered Frankfort, where they threatened a defence, which had no other object than to gain time to evacuate their magazines. Frankfort is out of the reach of a coup de main; it is defended by a wall and a ditch filled with water.
The inhabitants yesterday sent several deputations to Gen. Kleber and Jourdan, to pray that they would not fire on the town. These measures only proved their want of power to compel the Austrians to depart. It became necessary therefore to quicken the decision. Every preparation was therefore made for a vigorous attack, and during the night a continual discharge of howitzers set many houses on fire. In the morning articles of capitulation were proposed. We are taking all the necessary measures to insure to the Republic all the advantages which it has a right to expect from the conquest of this great city.
The commander in chief is preparing to pursue with vigour the operations of the campaign. The enemy is in a state of discomfiture and disorganization. A report prevails here that the Saxon troops are again preparing to separate from the Coalesced armies.
Signed, "JOUBERT." Health and Respect.
LONDON, July 14.
Letters from Madrid, of so late a date as June 14, were received by the late Lisbon mail which afford an additional contradiction to the report of the Prince of Peace having made a hostile declaration to the British Minister. They state, that the Marquis of Bute having made representations to the Spanish Minister of the proceedings of the French cruisers in the Mediterranean seas, which greatly annoyed our trade, the Spanish Minister returned for answer that, according to a secret article in the late treaty of peace between Spain and France, French cruisers were permitted to sail in and out of Spanish ports as often as they chose so to do, and to bring in their prizes: but that in order to avoid all jealousy of preference, English ships should have the same permission, as well as to victual in Spanish ports. Admiral Jervis, in consequence of this permission, has stationed a frigate and two cutters between Gibraltar and Alicante, as well for the purpose of watching the motions of the French cruisers, as for affording protection to the English trade.
The intelligence from Italy is of most importance. The French have completed their conquests in Lombardy, by the reduction of the citadel of Milan. They have however been obliged to convert the siege of Mantua into a blockade, after several attempts, particularly on the 6th, 7th and 8th of June, to take it by storm. In these attacks, it is allowed, in the French papers themselves, that they lost a great number of men.
They have therefore very prudently changed their plan; and to prevent any further unnecessary effusion of blood, they have resolved to wait till Mantua shall fall by want; as it inevitably must, unless the Imperialists should be able to take the field in superior force to the French; a circumstance which, from late events, must by the most sanguine be considered as hopeless.
Adices were yesterday received at the Admiralty office, from Admiral Sir John Jervis in the Mediterranean, and from General O'Hara, Governor of Gibraltar.
The accounts from Sir John Jervis state the success of Captain Macnamara, of the Southampton frigate, in capturing a French frigate of 24 guns.
The English commander had sailed into the road of Toulon with a view of cutting out this vessel, which they had nearly accomplished, when the Captain of the Frenchman fired at Captain Macnamara, but being immediately returned, the French officer fell; in consequence a general engagement took place between the sailors belonging to both vessels, when 20 of the enemy were killed, and the French frigate towed out of the harbor by the English seamen, amidst the fire from the fort, with the loss of only one man.
The Emperor, on account of his ill health, is gone to drink the waters of Bisdan. The price of gold is becoming more formidable every hour.
The arrears of the civil list, &c. &c. still continue. No money, nor order for any money, is yet issued.
The outward bound Mediterranean convoy has been stopped from proceeding, at the request of the merchants, who presented a memorial to that effect to Earl Spencer. Sir Hyde Parker's squa-
drone, now under orders for sailing for those seas, is to be reinforced.
The course of exchange with Hamburg and Altona yesterday continued 33, 7 and 8. The Dublin course was 9 1-2.
A COMPLETE COPY OF THE ARMISTICE, Between the French Republic and the Pope.
1. WISHING to give a proof of that respect which the French government entertains for his Majesty the King of Spain, the commander-in-chief and the civil commissioners of the army of Italy grant a suspension of hostilities to his Holiness, counting from this day till five days after the close of the negotiation, which shall be opened at Paris for the conclusion of a definitive peace.
2. The Pope shall send with all possible expedition to Paris a plenipotentiary, in order to obtain from the Executive Directory a definitive Peace, by offering the necessary reparations for the outrages and insults which the French endured in his states, and particularly for the murder of Basseville, and the recompence due to his family.
3. The individuals detained in the territories of the Pope for their political opinions, shall immediately be set at liberty, and re-enter into the possession of their effects.
4. The ports belonging to the Pope's states shall be shut to all vessels belonging to the powers at war with the French republic, and open to French ships.
5. The French army shall remain in possession of the legations of Bologna and Ferrara, and shall occupy that of Faenza.
6. The citadel of Ancona shall, in six days, be put into the possession of the French troops, with its artillery, stores and provisions.
7. The city of Ancona shall continue under the civil government of the Pope.
8. The Pope shall yield to the French Republic a hundred pictures, busts, vases and statues, at the choice of commissioners, to be sent to Rome, among which are specifically comprised the busts in bronze of Junius Brutus, and that in marble of Marcus Brutus, both placed in the capitol. The Pope shall also deliver up five hundred manuscripts, at the choice of the said commissioners.
9. The Pope shall pay to the French Republic 21 millions of French money; of which fifteen millions five hundred thousand livres shall be in specie or ingots, the remaining six millions five hundred thousand livres in goods, merchandise, horses, &c.
10. The fifteen millions five hundred thousand to be paid in three instalments: five millions in fifteen days, five millions in the following month, and the remainder within three months.
11. The five millions five hundred thousand livres in goods shall be faithfully delivered according to the demands made from the ports of Genoa, Leghorn, and those places occupied by the army, which shall be pointed out.
12. Those 21 millions shall be independent of the contributions which shall be levied on Bologna, Ferrara and Faenza.
13. The French troops shall have a free passage through all the territories of the Pope.
The accounts from the Lower Rhine mention, that the French were rapidly advancing to Frankfort. On the night of the 6th, the Austrian camp at Neukirchen was turned and attacked on all sides—the contest was very desperate; but the French were successful, and the Austrians were defeated with great loss. An article from Wesel, dated on the evening of the 9th, says, that after the battle of Neukirchen, the French General Lefebvre passed the Lahn.
His Prussian Majesty has taken possession of Nuremberg and Erlangen. His claims upon these two places are founded upon some decrees of the Chamber of the Empire, of so old a date as the year 1583, and 1587.
The homeward-bound West India fleet under convoy of the Grampus, of 54 guns, arrived on Tuesday evening off the Isle of Wight, and proceeded for the Downs with a fair wind.
The Paris papers which we received this morning enable us to add but little to the details extracted from the papers that arrived yesterday. From the armies of Jourdan and Moreau there is no news. The Duke of Brunswick's minister has notified to the Imperial ministers at Ratibon that an army of troops, belonging to the King of Prussia, the Duke of Brunswick, and other states of the empire, is assembled for the purpose of preserving the tranquillity of the North of Germany, and for preventing any invasion of that part of the empire.
It is very strongly rumoured that Parliament will be summoned to meet in the month of September next.
The French have certainly gained more battles and more territory in a few weeks than any conquerors have done before in any war, but Mr. Pitt says we must have indemnity for the past and security for the future.
Mr. Pinckney, the American envoy, had an audience of leave, on his return home, and immediately after, Mr. King had a closet audience to deliver his letters credential, to which they were severally introduced by Lord Grenville, Secretary of state, and conducted by Mr. Cotterell, assistant master of the ceremonies.
Extract from the official Bulletin. FRIBOURG, 14 Messidor, July 2.
A very severe action took place yesterday, between Copel and Eudengen. After an obstinate engagement, the Austrians were obliged to give way, and the emigrants of the corps de Conde, were put to route. From that moment the Austrian general declared he found himself obliged to abandon the Brisgau, and that every one must save himself if he could. The emigrants disbanded; they flew, but were hemmed in on all sides; they endeavoured to pass by the advanced guard of the French troops, but the peasants, armed with pick-axes and forks, would not be deceived by them; they killed a great number.
The baggage of the Austrians and Emigrants is already upon the confines of the Black Forest. The hospitals, and part of the carriages, take the road of the forest towns of Constance, by Rheinfelden.
PARIS, JULY 10.
We are assured that the troops which we have at present in Italy, amounts to 66,000 men, and that Buonaparte wants to march with his army to Vienna, not to Tyrol, but through the Venetian States, across which the route is more easy and shorter. Buonaparte expects all the prodigies of enthusiasm and boldness from an army so frequently victorious.
The 'rea' only too long an activity, and the heats of the dog day.
We expect in a few days at Paris, an Ambassador from the Bey of Tunis, who passed through Lyons on the 9th Messidor (June 27) his name is Mahommad-Gogga; he is Commander General of the navy of Tunis. In his passage through Lyons, he was allowed a guard of honour.
