THE GAZETTE.  PHILADELPHIA,  TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2.
VIRGINIA, to wit.  In the House of DELEGATES, Friday, December 21st, 1798.  RESOLVED, That the General Assembly of Virginia doth unequivocally express a firm resolution to maintain and defend the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of this state, against every aggression, either foreign or domestic, and that they will support the government of the United States in all measures, warranted by the former.  That this Assembly most solemnly declares a warm attachment to the union of the states, to maintain which, it pledges all its powers; and that for this end, it is their duty, to watch over and oppose every infraction of those principles, which constitute the only basis of that union, because a faithful observance of them, can alone secure its existence, and the public happiness.  That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the Federal Government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting that compact; as no farther valid than they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact, and that in case of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous exercise of other powers not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.
That the General Assembly doth also express its deep regret that a spirit has in sundry instances, been manifested by the Federal Government, to enlarge its powers by forced constructions of the constitutional charter which defines them; and that indications have appeared of a design to expound certain general phrases (which having been copied from the very limited grant of powers in the former articles of confederation were the less liable to be misconstrued) so as to destroy the meaning and effect of the particular enumeration, which necessarily explains and limits the general phrases; and so as to consolidate the states by degrees into one sovereignty, the obvious tendency and inevitable consequence of which would be, to transform the present republican system of the United States, into an absolute, or at best a mixed monarchy.  That the General Assembly doth particularly protest against the palpable and alarming infractions of the constitution, in the two late cases of the "Alien and Sedition acts," passed at the last session of Congress; the first of which exercises a power no where delegated to the Federal Government; and which, by uniting legislative and judicial powers to those of executive, subverts the general principles of free government, as well as the particular organization and positive provisions of the federal constitution; and the other of which acts, exercises in like manner a power not delegated by the constitution, but on the contrary expressly and positively forbidden by one of the amendments thereto; a power which more than any other ought to produce universal alarm, because it is levelled against that right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of free communication among the people thereon, which has ever been justly deemed, the only effectual guardian of every other right.
That this state having by its convention which ratified the federal constitution, expressly declared, "that among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience and of the press cannot be cancelled, abridged, restrained or modified by any authority of the United States," and from its extreme anxiety to guard these rights from every possible attack of sophistry or ambition, having with other states recommended an amendment for that purpose, which amendment was in due time annexed to the constitution, it would mark a reproachful inconsistency and criminal degeneracy, if an indifference were now shown to the most palpable violation of one of the rights thus declared and secured, and to the establishment of a precedent which may be fatal to the other.
That the good people of this Commonwealth having ever felt and continuing to feel the most sincere affection to their brethren of the other states, the truest anxiety for establishing and perpetuating the union of all, and the most scrupulous fidelity to that constitution which is the pledge of mutual friendship, and the instrument of mutual happiness: The General Assembly doth solemnly appeal to the like dispositions of other states, in confidence that they will concur with this commonwealth in declaring, as it does hereby declare, that the acts aforesaid are unconstitutional, & that the necessary and proper measures will be taken by each, for co-operating with this state, in maintaining unimpaired the authorities, rights and liberties, reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
That the Governor be desired to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolutions to the Executive Authority of each of the other states, with a request, that the same, may be communicated to the Legislature thereof.  And that a copy be furnished to each of the Senators and Representatives, representing this state in the Congress of the United States.  Attest, JOHN STEWART, C. H. D. 1798, December the 24th. Agreed to by the Senate, H. BROOKE, C. S.
CONGRESS,  HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.  Debate on Mr. Griswold's motion.  (CONTINUED.)  FRIDAY, December 28.
The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Nicholas) has resorted, Mr. Speaker, to a very singular argument to prove that he and his political friends had no share in contriving this mission, and that the Envoy must have gone on his own footing. "We," said the gentleman, "have made no use of the success of this mission. We have taken no advantage of what it has accomplished, in order to move for a repeal or suspension of any of those measures which were adopted last session for resisting France." True, Mr. Speaker, the gentleman has taken no such advantage of what has been accomplished by this mission; and for this he had a very good reason, for he well knows that nothing was accomplished. He well knows that this weak, silly project, produced no effect whatever, and that the few trifling changes made by France, not in the substance of her system, for in the mere form of it, has made none, but in the mere form of it, in her language, not her acts, either took place, or must have been resolved on, before this wise envoy arrived in France. He further knows, though I have not yet heard him acknowledge it, that this change, such as it is, proceeded not from a returning sense of justice in the French councils, but of the measures adopted, and the spirit displayed in this country; measures which he opposed with all his might, and a spirit which he did every thing in his power to keep down. Had he made this change the ground of a motion for reverting those measures, he well knew that the effect already produced by them would have been urged against him, as an irresistible argument for their continuation. He therefore, very wittily, avoided the topic. He has prudently kept silence about the effects of this mission, because he knows that it had no effect, and if I were to judge of it by its effects, I should content myself with laughing at it. But considered in its principle, and the consequences to which that principle leads, it becomes a matter of very serious consideration, and worthy of very vigilant restraint.
I must now, Mr. Speaker, pay a more particular attention to the last speech of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gallatin) and I will begin with the avowal which he asserts me to have made, and in which he so greatly triumphs. According to him, I have avowed, and those gentlemen with whom I have the honor to act, and whom he is pleased to call "my party," have avowed by my mouth, that their object all along has been, and is, to involve the country in a war against France, for the purpose of crushing and destroying their political opponents. This is the avowal which, according to that gentleman, I have explicitly made. Let us see how it is made out. When I had the honor last of addressing the house, I stated "that admitting the French government to have a party here, as it has all along asserted, that party, observing the rising spirit and indignation of the country, would naturally be led to conclude, that a perseverance by France in the same course of offensive and outrageous conduct, would speedily produce an open war, a natural and necessary consequence of which would be, to deprive France of all interest and influence in this country, and to overwhelm themselves, her partisans, in a storm of public indignation and odium. I farther stated, that this party, admitting it to exist, would naturally be led, by these reflections, to take steps for prevailing on France to change her conduct, at least so far as to preserve appearances; and for this end that they would, probably, send an envoy, and instruct him to hold such and such language." These were the observations from which the gentleman has extracted the admission wherein he so greatly triumphs, an admission whereby not only I myself, but what he thinks proper to call my party, are to be convicted of laboring to bring about a French war! To insist that a French party, if one there be, as the French inform us, must see its own destruction in a war, is to admit, according to this ingenious reasoner, that another party, opposed to this, does wish, and has labored for a war, in order to destroy it! Really, Mr. Speaker, if this be a specimen of the offensive war whereof we are threatened by that gentleman, his attacks will excite more smiles than apprehensions in those against whom they are to be directed. Unless he can bring better than these into the field, this new Hoche, when he has arrived, by some accident, within sight of our coast, will find himself happy to get back into his own port, even by the friendly aid of fogs and storms.
As to this threat of an offensive war, Mr. Speaker, I should be inclined to answer it in the words of the poet —  "There is no terror, Captivus , in thy threats, For we are arm'd so strong in honesty, That they do pass us as the idle wind, Which we regard not."  An offensive war! That gentleman threatens that he will carry on a defensive war! I should really like to know what he had been employed about for five years past. Has he, or have his political associates, ever omitted any opportunity of making personal attacks on their opponents, and imputing every part of their conduct to the vilest motives? Is it not notorious, that the gentleman from Pennsylvania himself is more remarkable for personal reflections, than any member on the floor, and in every battle of this kind has uniformly been the aggressor? Has the house forgotten his behaviour to a former colleague of mine, now abroad, whom he first accused of desiring and aiming to involve the country in war, and when my colleague denied the charge, told him, in plain terms, that he did not believe him? Has the house forgotten how he, on another occasion, accused the same gentleman of introducing and supporting measures by the orders of the executive? It is forgotten how, for two years
together, he made perpetual and unprovoked personal attacks on me, when I bore patiently in hopes that they would at length discontinue: And how, at last, he went so far as to make a formal speech for the avowed purpose of proving that no attention was due to anything which I advanced? Now, when those who submitted so long to his attacks find it necessary, with a slight stroke of the hand, to beat him away, he raises an outcry, as if unjustly treated, and talks of offensive war! I would advise him, Mr. Speaker, to review his forces before he begins the campaign. If he feels so much pain from the gentle touches which he has hitherto experienced, let him reflect well before he provokes harder blows, from which he might not so soon recover.
The gentleman threatens to hold up certain persons in their true colours, and expose them to the public. Whom does he expect to frighten by this menace? Let me remind him before he begins, of an old proverb, on which he will do well seriously to reflect "A man living in a glass house, should never throw stones at his neighbours." The gentleman's own habitation is exceedingly brittle. A small pebble will be sufficient to demolish it. Let him therefore beware how he rashly provokes a retort.  On this subject of motives, Mr. Speaker, let me be permitted to ask what description of persons it is who discover most forensics when motives are even glanced at! Who cry out, and wreathe, and shrink with their bodies, even when the finger is pointed at this tender part! Let those answer, who have attended to the debates of this house.
As to the question of aggression on this subject, who can have any doubts that recollects the course of events since the institution of this government? Have we yet forgotten the copious and filthy streams of abuse habitually poured out upon the private characters of those persons who have been concerned in, or understood to favor, the system of administration adopted by this government; the vile motives of bribery, corruption, speculation, and foreign influence, to which their conduct has constantly been attributed? Have we forgotten those letters, written by members of this House, wherein the writer, contrary to what he knew to be the fact, accuses the President with having provided for his own son at the public expence; and points out members of the house, by name as servants of the Executive, acting solely from the expectation of reward! Have we forgotten how the gentleman from Pennsylvania accused my former colleague of coming with a commission in his pocket, to vote for his own salary? A calumny which was instantly refuted from the most authentic documents. Did not that gentleman, to speak once more of myself, lately accuse me, when I moved for the publication of certain laws, with acting not from a wish to diffuse information, which I had declared to be my motive, but from a desire to play off a party-trick and draw my opponents into an unpopular step? Did he not even now make a similar charge against the gentleman from Connecticut, who bro't forward the present motion? And yet, after thus charging members, in plain terms, with the vilest hypocrisy, he makes loud complaints about motives!
Mr. H. then offered to read the letter to Mazzei, as a proof that the most liberal and unqualified accusations, on the subject of motives, had long been deliberately circulated against the friends and supporters of the administration, but the Speaker declared it to be out of order. And he concluded with repeating the admonition to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gallatin) to reflect well before he commenced a war to which his forces were so unequal, and from which he had so much more to dread than to hope.  (To be Continued.)

INTERESTING NEWS.
BOSTON, January 1.
We have received by express from Salem, German papers to Nov. 2, brought by a vessel which arrived there, after 60 days passage; and through the ready attention of Mr. Kahler, are enabled to present the public with the following Interesting Translations.— Mercury.
London Gazette, October 21.
Yesterday Lieutenant Waterhouse arrived at the Admiralty Office, with a letter from Vice Admiral Kingmill, inclosing a copy of the Dispatches of Commodore Warren to him, to wit:
On board the Canada.
Lough Swilly, Ireland, October 16.
In compliance with your orders, which I received by the Kangaroo brig, I failed with my ship, the Canada, of 74 guns, the Robust, of 74, the Foudroyant, of 80, and Magdalen, of 74. On the 4th instant were joined by the Melampus, of 44, and the Doris of 38. The latter I ordered to cruise between the Isle of Troy and Roses in search of the enemy. The same evening were joined by the Amelia, of 44, which had parted with the Ethalion of 38, Anson of 44, and Sylph of 18, and said that those vessels had been carefully observing the manoeuvres of the French since September 17. On the 11th, we fell in with these vessels; and soon after on the N. W. of us, got sight of the enemy's squadron, consisting of one 80 gun ship, 8 frigates, a brig and a schooner. I made the signal for a general chase, and to form the line of battle as our ships came up with them. Which, however, we did not do till the 12th, owing to a heavy sea and our enemy's being to windward. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather, we continued the chase through the night and the day. At half past 5 o'clock in the morning of the 12th, we saw the enemy not far from us. They formed a close line of battle and advanced on us on our starboard side. But we did not meet till 7 o'clock—as the chase had scattered my vessels. I made the signal for the Robust to lead and engage, which was instantly obeyed; and the other ships formed after her. The action commenced 30 minutes before 8 o'clock. The Robust bearing 15 miles S. S. W. of us. At 11 o'clock the Hoche surrendered after a gallant defence. All the frigates at that moment fled. A signal was made for pursuing them, and in 5 hours after three of them were captured. The remaining 5 escaped for that time. All these frigates, as well as the ship of the line were new and full of troops, provisions, ammunition, &c. to forward their designs in Ireland. With pleasure I observe, that the behaviour of all my officers and sailors was such as evinced the warmest affection for their king and country. I left Cork Thursday with the command of the Magdalen, Ethalion and Amelia, to take charge of the prizes and conduct them to port. I expect him here every moment. I have the honor to be, &c.
J. B. WARREN.
P. S. The following ships were in the battle, viz. Canada, Robust, Foudroyant, Magdalen, Ethalion, Melampus and Amelia. The Anson did not arrive till after the action—as she had, in the chase, carried away a top gallant mast. I have ordered my lieutenant, Turguand, to take charge of the Hoche.
LONDON GAZETTE, October 23.
Extract of a letter from Sir J. B. Warren, Bart. to Lord Castlereagh, dated on board the Canada of 74 guns, in Lough Swilly Oct. 16.
MY LORD,
I HAVE the honor to communicate to you, for the information of the Lord Lieutenant, that on the 12th inst. I fell in with the enemy's squadron, and, after an action, which continued through the whole day, four of their ships surrendered, including the Hoche of 80 guns, and 3 frigates, the other frigates fled. A brig, with Napper Tandy on board, as I suppose, was in company—but separated at the beginning of the action. The ships taken, had many troops on board—ship's necessaries and ammunition. A large number of papers were thrown overboard, after they had surrendered. I think the fugitive ships cannot reach France, as every one was more or less injured in masts and rigging; and a gale which occurred next day, must have put them in a still worse condition for escape. They probably will be captured by our Cruisers on the French Coast, or by some of Ad. Kingmill's squadron on the Irish. They threw a great many things overboard at their flight, particularly several boxes of small arms. I left our prizes in the charge of the Robust, of 74 guns, Magdalen, of 44, Ethalion, of 38, and Amelia, of 44. [Signed] J. WARREN.
LONDON GAZETTE, same date.
Capt. Moore, of the Melampus, of 36 guns, on the 13th of Oct. captured on the Irish Coast, the French frigate Resolute, of 40 guns and 500 sailors and soldiers. She was in company with the Immortals, of 44 guns, with 600 sailors and soldiers. She did not get near enough to engage till the Resolute had struck, after which she surrendered.
Two Letters are received from Earl St. Vincent containing dispatches from the Nile Aug. 25. On that day the boats of the French took the French ship Torride of 18 pounds and 70 men, as she lay at anchor under the Castle Battery. Aug. 22. before Alexandria, the Allemane, took a Packet boat of 2 guns, and 61 men, from Toulon.
LONDON, Oct. 23.
A letter from Lord Craven informs, that the Melampus had captured one of the frigates, which escaped from the late action, which makes the whole number of vessels captured five. Other accounts add that the vessels first taken have all arrived at Lough Swilly.
In addition to Warren's Official Letter, it appears, by a Communication posted at Lloyd's Coffee House, at 2 o'clock yesterday, that the vessels captured by him had arrived at Lough Swilly and that 3 French frigates have been driven into Sligo Bay.
Liverpool, October 20.
This morning arrived a packet, which left Dublin last evening, at 7 o'clock. The passengers say, that three French frigates had been brought into Sligo.
Dublin, October 18.
Advices received this day from Sligo, state, that three French frigates captured after the late battle arrived safe in that harbor.
Glasgow, October 19.
This day a French frigate, with only her mizen mast standing, was brought into Glasgow harbor, by a British frigate. In the captured frigate are 3000 men, and in the others of the fleet were 2000. Their commander's name was Hardy. In one of the captured ships was found THEOBALD WOLFE TONE, (the founder of the societies of United Irishmen.)
London, October 23.
A letter from Capt. Trowbridge to Lord St. Vincents, contains the following;
"The Arabian and Egyptian workmen having deserted the French—and the French not being used to the heat, could not open the channels from the Nile, by which the cisterns at Alexandria are supplied with water—there is therefore a scarcity of water as well as of provisions. The provision fleet, which sailed from Toulon the beginning of August, and on which the French army in Egypt principally depended, returned, on being informed of Nelson's victory."
Letters from Donnegal, of Oct. 15, say, Lord Bridport had taken a squadron from Brest, consisting of 14 vessels.
IMPORTANT REPORT.
A cartel ship has arrived at Dover, the commander of which says, that the combined English and Russian squadrons in the North Sea, had entered the Texel, and landed troops, which attacked the forts, while Lord Duncan engaged the Dutch fleet, and that he had succeeded in taking a part of it.
Vienna, October 21.
Letters from Messina, dated October 10, state, that a vessel from Alexandria, had arrived there with intelligence, that Buonaparte's army, after a bloody battle, (in which even the victorious Arabs lost 12,000 men) was reduced to a few thousand and had fled to Alexandria. Our account (for which we will not vouch) says B. is taken prisoner.—[Does it not follow that the other part of the intelligence is vouched for.]
MALTA.
Advices from Naples of October 20, state, that the latest news from Malta was highly pleasing. The Maltese are perfect masters of the island, though a few Frenchmen yet remained at St. Elmo. That the knights there had sent to Trieste to invite the return of their brethren, who had emigrated since the landing of the French; assuring them of the establishment of the former government.
Paris, Oct. 22.
Off Toulon, on the 11th of October was seen 11 ships of the line, which, at first, were supposed to be Russians, but afterwards found to be English.
Our government are more disposed for peace than heretofore—and a majority of our legislature are in its favor, since our loss of the battle at Aboukir near the Nile. We flatter ourselves, and hope it will influence the sitting at Rastadt to make the desired conclusion.
For four days the Redacteur, and all our papers have been filled with the official letters from Buonaparte and Berthier, with the proclamations of the commander issued in Egypt.
By his letters the army was not discouraged by the account of the loss of the fleet, but rather enlivened to encounter all dangers with their officers.
The general's head quarters were at Cairo. Of prisoners he had only a few; but the Camels and Horses he had taken, were reserved for an expedition which was a secret.
He embraced every opportunity to work upon the people. An air balloon which he sent up at Cairo, was above the understanding of these ignorant mortals. They thought him a messenger from MAHOMET.
His horse artillery had created great consternation.
A messenger to one of the Chiefs, bringing an account of a defeat, was asked, "how large is the French army?"—He took up a handful of sand, which he threw up in the air saying, "There count them."
The general's soldiers divide the booty which they took from the Mamelukes; on some they have found from 3 to 500 Louis d'or, or the value in gold.
Bonaparte pictures the Arabians as the most of beings. In large hordes they swarmed like clouds round his army and harassed his rear guards. Plundered and murdered every one who fell into their hands. They have not kept their treaty, which he had concluded on the 5th July, with 13 of their Beys. In which it was stipulated, that they should give him as many men as were necessary to oppose the Mamelukes. And, on the other hand, the general had promised to give them back, after he had conquered Egypt, all the lands which had belonged to them.
Bonaparte, with these 13 cheiks, found a table, where it was further agreed and determined, that he who did not fulfil his promise, should incur Hell's flames. Probably the cheiks could not answer for what their hordes did.
On the 12th July, Mount Bey, had a large body of horse troops and batteries on the Nile, and 10 gun boats. From both sides were exchanged more than 1500 cannon shot. The Turks had already taken 3 of our gun boats; but two of them were retaken and the third burned. After this the army was not interrupted on their march.
On the 21st July, before Cairo, we had a battle. The Mamelukes lost 2000 men killed (as stated in a Newburyport paper) Mourat Bey and other Beys were wounded. 400 Camels, with baggage, and 30 cannon were taken. Our army lost thirty killed and one hundred and twenty wounded. In the night the Beys fled from Cairo & burned their ships. The people plundered their houses, and on the 22d the French entered the city.
The general issued two proclamations: Bonaparte to the Cheiks, &c. of Cairo, dated head-quarters, Cairo, July 21.
"Yesterday the Mamelukes were mostly killed or taken prisoners! I am in pursuit of the fugitives. Send me the vessels on the other side of the water, and a deputation, acknowledging your submission to me! Let bread, meat, straw and oats be in readiness for my army! Be without fear—as no body wishes your welfare more than I do!"
Bonaparte to the People of Cairo. "People! You have done well not to declare against me. I am come to destroy the Mamelukes. To protect Commerce and the inhabitants. Every one who is in fear ought to remain quiet; and they who have fled may return to their houses; I shall establish a divan of persons, &c."
A third proclamation to the Pacha of the Grand Seigneur, declares, he may remain in his place, and have his effects secured to him.
Ibrahim Bey had fled with his family and effects to Salchieh, where Buonaparte pursued him; but before the general entered this city, the Bey had left it. Being the last where fresh water was to be had.
The Mamelukes have defended themselves bravely. They are well dressed and equipped.
On the 13th August, when he left this place, he received the unfortunate account of the loss of the fleet. Having on the 6th July advised admiral Brueys to come to anchor in the harbour of Alexandria within 24 hours, if not to land the artillery, and the effects belonging to the army. As it was the opinion of our engineers, that the road of Aboukir was not so safe for the fleet. But to his great astonishment he was apprized, on the 27th July, that the fleet remained there at anchor. He dispatched his adjutant to prevail on the admiral to set sail, but unfortunately this messenger came too late.
The General says, under his own hand, "It seems to me Ad. Brueys would not fail for Corfu before he was sure he could not enter the harbor of Alexandria, or till the army was in such a situation that no retreat might be necessary. If he has done as he has expiated it by his glorious death. Fate which has in many instances proved our superiority on land—in this, favored our rivals on the water. But as great as this misfortune is, it cannot be attributed to the unskillfulness of luck. It will not leave us! When I arrived at Alexandria I was informed that the English had been there, with a much stronger force than ours. I ventured to land in a gale, and was almost ship-wrecked in the attempt. When I reached the shore, I threw myself on the ground, (a signal was just then given for an armed ship, which however, proved to be La Justice) I cried out, "Fortune! I should thou leave me! No! I attend me only a few days longer! I marched the whole night, and attacked, by the break of day, with 3000 men without cannon, or even cartridges to our guns. And in 5 days I was master of Rosetta and Dementhur which declared me ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN EGYPT!"
In these 5 days our fleet ought to have been in safety from the English. Let their force against us be what it would. But far from it! They remained the whole Mesidor, ending July 18, exposed.
They received on the first Ther midor, (19th July) from Rosetta a supply of rice for two months. The English shewed themselves in today with a superior force in these waters; and on the 29th July, our fleet received information of my conquering and entering Cairo; but when Fortune saw that her favors were not regarded, she left our fleet to her own fate.
At Raschat, Oct. 25, the seditious Congress was still in session. The French Deputies had sent an express to Paris, for the Directory relative to the last propositions made to them; and on this advice, probably, hangs the event of peace or war.
The Russian army, which has been marching to the German Territory, has halted to wait the decision of the Congress. This decision is, it is likely, now about to be made.
PASSAWAN OGLOU.
It is but justice to state that our last information contradicts the former relative to this rebel. We now find him still in power, and it is even said, he has gained a victory over the Turks. The Coalition however between Russia and the Porte, must, we think, soon operate his ruin.
BOSTON, January 1.
THE FOREIGN NEWS
We this day communicate to the readers of the Mercury is interesting and correct. It is translated from Hamburg papers four days and Altona papers six days later than before received. The translations are made by Mr. Kahler, whose faculty and integrity are too well known to permit a suspicion of accidental or intentional error. These accounts confirm our news of Tuesday last, in most of its items, and contradicts none of them. The total destruction of the Brest fleet bound for Ireland is ascertained beyond query. Sir J. B. Warren took the Hoche of 80 guns, and 3 frigates. The Melampus took one frigate, 3 were carried into Sligo Bay, and 1
into Greenock, which makes the 1 ship of the line and 8 frigates. The Hoche is rated in a French register at 130 guns. We have inserted one article relative to an attack on the Texel, which is taken from the Hamburg Correspondent, of October 31.—The Altona Mercury, of about the same date, has a similar paragraph. British papers have heretofore hinted at a design upon this rendezvous of the Batavian fleet.—The dispatches from Buonaparte, &c. are of an ancient date and are only noticed as curiosities. The account from Messina, corroborating other intelligence, announcing the French defeats in Egypt, appears, in a degree, warranted by gen. B's own letter—in which he confesses the bravery, equipment and enmity of the Mameluks and Arabs. Indeed it may be inferred that the Editor of the Vienna Gazette vouches for most of the particulars in the flat statement—We observe nothing contradictory of the advices of the conflagration of the transports. The late information on the subject, implied that the event happened about the 9th Sept. To say the French Gov. is rendered more favourable to Peace by Bruey's defeat, is a bold assertion for a Paris Paper—and may therefore be concluded a stubborn fact. But they have lost the opportunity of making a good bargain. In grasping at too much they probably will get nothing. The Germans can find reasons for breaking off the Negotiations at any time.—The German troops are ready, and the Russians at hand to assist them, in case of a renewal of hostilities.

PHILADELPHIA,
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8.
REFLECTIONS,
On a late publication by Doctor Logan.
Doctor John Logan in his narrative published in the Aurora, and dated the 2d January, states among other things
 1. That he did not go to France at the direction, request, or on the advice of any person whatever.  2. That he did not act, when there, as the agent official, or un-official, of any man or set of men whatever.  3. That he did not carry any message, letter or introduction whatever, from any Citizen of America addressed to any citizen or public body in France.  4. That two certificates of citizenship which he carried with him, were addressed to no one. 
The first reflection which naturally occurs on reading these facts, respects the extreme caution used by the Doctor's friends, to prevent the possibility of any other person being legally compromised in his mission. The second reflection is, why, if the mission was innocent and proper, were such studied precautions used to screen his friends from a share of the reputation of his mission. It is apparent, that the Doctor's friends knew how near a man might approach treason, without injury to his neck, in case the measure should become a subject of legal investigation.
It is in no wise probable, that so subtle a conduct, could have proceeded from the mere cogitations of the Doctor's mind, unaided by the repeated suggestions of men well acquainted with the law and with the constitution.
A word or two more particular on what the Doctor says. 1. The Doctor says he did not go to France at the request of any one. But he does not say such a mission was not suggested at least by one of the persons who furnished him with his certificates of citizenship, as a praiseworthy and philanthropic undertaking for a man of fortune. He does not say it was such studied conversation that kindled up his zeal for the service; and we cannot expect, he will acknowledge, that by this covert mode of proceeding he was induced to propose himself formally for the Negotiator.
2. The Doctor says he did not act when in France as the official agent of any man or set of men. This is true, for no man, except the President of the United States, could have vested him with an official character or created him an official agent. He confesses, however, that he did whatever an official agent could do, except that of entering into a formal negotiation and treaty.
3. The Doctor says he did not carry any message, letter or introduction from any citizen of America addressed to any citizen or public body in France. But he does not tell us that he carried no message, or letter from any French citizen or French ex-minister or consul introductory of him and his business; or that he carried no letter addressed to some such lost and degraded American citizen in France as Joel Barlow covering letters which were to open his way to the directory.
4. The Doctor says he carried with him two certificates of citizenship which were addressed to no one. It is to be wished that the Doctor had told us who gave him these certificates of citizenship. One of these certificates his friends inform us was signed by the Vice-President. It surely does not come within the range of the Vice-President's functions to grant certificates of citizenship. Why in this instance has the Vice-President usurped a power with which neither the laws nor the constitution have vested him? Was this certificate to be a token or evidence that the Doctor belonged to a certain sect, and might be safely trusted by the Illuminati of all countries (for it was addressed to no one); or was it to be in the place of a symbol by which the directory might recognise him as one of the faithful Americans? It is certainly incumbent upon the Doctor to explain himself further upon this subject, and lay before the public a copy of the Vice-President's certificate of citizenship.
Further, every one knows or has heard of the unexpected, mysterious and secret departure of Kosciusko for France, at or about
the time of the Doctor's departure for the same country. It is equally well known, at least to many of the citizens of Philadelphia, that immediately preceding this memorable event, the Vice-President was in the custom of making twilight visits to this intriguer which sometimes went far into the night. Is it possible, now, for any person whose intellect is not utterly debased by the dreadful principles of jacobinism not to see an evident connection between the Doctor's mission and Kosciusko's departure and arrival in France; and not to think it probable, that the secret and real object of the mission passed not as the Doctor imagined through him but this Kosciusko who is well known to be the hired agent of France for effecting Revolutions and who arrived in France as soon as the Doctor.
Again, the public ought to be informed of two late visits made by the Doctor, from which they will draw their own conclusions respecting this intermeddler, and the ulterior object of his mission. One of these was to Wilmington in the State of Delaware, where the Doctor had an interview with Hamilton Rowan; the other was to New-York, where he saw the French ex-minister Genet.
I confess when I take a view of these circumstances and the whole subject, I have no doubt remaining upon my mind, who was the prime mover in this mysterious and highly criminal transaction; that the personage alluded to is the grand culprit and the Doctor, the simple instrument, who was to be brought before the public to heighten the drama, or conceal the author, in case the play did not succeed. If there are yet men who entertain a different belief, they may be compared to the obstinate old Knight in Rabelais, that every morning swallowed a cumera for his breakfast.

THIS DAY PUBLISHED, BY WILLIAM M. YOUNG, Corner of Chestnut and Second Streets, JOAN OF ARC, AN EPIC POEM, By Robert Southey; with notes. "WE do not hesitate to declare our opinion that the poetical powers displayed in it are of a very superior kind—Conceptions more lofty and daring, sentiments more commanding, and language more energetic, will not easily be found; nor does scarcely any part of it sink into languor, as the glow of feelings and genius animates the whole. The language is, for the most part, modelled out of Milton; and not unfrequently, it has a strong relish of Shakespeare." Monthly Review, vol. 19, p. 361.
