ARMY OF ITALY.
Buonaparte, commander in chief of the army of Italy, to the executive directory.
"Head-Quarters, Verona, 21st Thermidor, August 8."
"On the morning of the 19th, citizens directors, the enemy were posted in a line with the Mincio. Their right was supported by their intrenched camp at Peschiera, and their left by Mantua; their centre was at Valeggio. Angereau proceeded to Borghetto, and engaged in a brisk cannonade with the enemy. In the mean time Massena marched to Peschiera, attacked the enemy in the intrenched camp, which they had formed before that place, routed them, took 12 pieces of cannon, and made 700 prisoners. In consequence of this action, the enemy were obliged to raise the siege of Peschiera, and to quit the line of Mincio."
"On the 20th, Angereau passed the Mincio at Peschiera. The division of general Serrurier marched for Verona, where it arrived at ten in the evening, just at the moment in which general Massena had resumed his former positions, made 400 prisoners, and taken 7 pieces of cannon. The rear guard of the enemy were still in Verona—the gates were shut, and the bridges raised. The providator of the republic of Venice being summoned to open the gates, declared that he could not do it for two hours. I ordered them to be opened under the fire of cannon. This general Donnartin executed in less than a quarter of an hour. We found a quantity of baggage in this place, and made some hundreds of prisoners."
"Thus we are re-established in all our former positions, and the enemy have fled into the Tyrol.—The reinforcements which you informed me were coming from the army of the Ocean, begin to arrive, and every thing here is in the most satisfactory train."
"The Austrian army, which for six weeks threatened the invasion of Italy, has disappeared as a dream! and Italy, which it menaced, is now tranquil."
"The people of Bologna, of Ferrara, but particularly of Milan, have, during our retreat, displayed the greatest courage, and the warmest attachment to liberty. At Milan, while it was reported that the enemy was at Cassano, and that we were routed, the people demanded arms, and the streets and squares, and all the public places, resounded with the martial air of Alons enfans de la patrie ."
(Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
Buonaparte, commander in chief of the army of Italy, to the municipality of Milan.
When the army beat a retreat, and when the partisans of Austria and the enemies of liberty supposed us to be ruined without resources, and when it was even impossible for you to conjecture that this was a feint—it was then that you displayed the warmest attachment to France, and a love of freedom, a degree of zeal, and a character by which you have merited the esteem of the army, and have deserved the protection of the French republic.
Every day your people render themselves more and more deserving of the freedom which they enjoy! Every day they acquire their accumulating energy, which, doubtless, will, hereafter, and that soon, blaze forth with glory upon the theatre of the world. Accept of the lively expressions of the satisfaction which I feel, and of the ardent prayers which the French offer up for your perpetual liberty and happiness.
(Signed) BUONAPARTE.
BRUSSELS, August 15.
The Austrian army under general Wartenleben, after several bloody actions in which they have been generally defeated, have been forced by the republican army of the Sambre and Meuse, to abandon all their positions which they occupied in the environs of Bamberg, and to fall back upon the Danube.—All the Austrian artillery and baggage have been sent off to Ratisbon, from whence they will be removed to Bohemia. The generals Frolich and Flotz, who were posted at Iller, have fallen back towards the frontiers of Tyrol.—I fine, the success of the republican army maintains its invariable and uninterrupted career. The Austrians are divided into three corps, forming upon the whole 15,000 men, with which they are to defend the hereditary estates of the emperor.
As to the Princes of the Empire, they follow the general custom of making truces with the republicans—the elector of Saxony being now the only one that holds out.
From the neighbourhood of Mentz, it seems that the trenches will be opened in a few days. The French labour day and night with incredible activity in the forming of parallel lines and other works necessary for the reduction of this bulwark of the Empire.
Several hostages have lately been brought from Darmstadt to Frankfort, on their way to France. This conduct is rather unaccountable, since it is well known that the Landgrave has signed an armistice with the republican generals.
PARIS, 30 Thermidor, August 17.
The generals of Brigade Rigaud and Bavaux, commanding the southern and western departments of St. Domingo, have transmitted to the directory the details of the siege of Leogane, attempted by the English and Emigrants, with 60 vessels, and 4000 men disembarked.—This siege they were obliged to abandon on the third day, after having lost a great number of men, and left behind them a large quantity of arms and ammunition; they did not do this, however, without manifesting their wanted cowardice and barbarity, on old men, women and children, both in their houses, and in the asylums to which they had retreated on the mountains.
2 Messidor, August 19.
The most distinguished artists of this capital have just addressed a petition to the directory, entreating that Italy may no longer be despoiled. They demand particularly that before any statues, pictures, &c. are moved from Rome, a commission may be appointed by l'Institut National to make a report on this important object.
The report that Count Colloredo has reached this capital to negotiate a peace for the Emperor is confidently believed here.
Drouet escaped from his prison the day before yesterday.
LONDON, August 4.
The pretended Manifesto, said to have been delivered by the Spanish ambassador to lord Grenville, which appeared in our paper of yesterday, we extracted from the Times, which was published at so late an hour, as to prevent the possibility of making an inquiry into the truth of a circumstance which excited our astonishment, in a great degree, from a knowledge of our own resources, which enabled us to affirm, that no public occurrence of any importance, can fail to reach us at least as soon as any other paper.—But after the paper was put to press, we made it our business to investigate the matter, and the result of the investigation was such, as enabled us to contradict, in the most positive manner, the statement contained in the Times, and copied from thence into a second edition of a miserable Jacobin print, and into all the evening papers. We immediately stopped the press to announce this circumstance to the public; but unfortunately, a great part of our impression had been taken off before we had received the necessary information on the subject.
The Times of this morning so far confesses its error as positively to contradict what it yesterday as positively affirmed, viz. that such a memorial had been delivered to lord Grenville. But it so far persists in its statement, as to assert that such complaints as were stated to be contained in the pretended memorial, have actually been forwarded from the court of Madrid to the marquis de Casals.—That the ambassador, however, should have concealed these complaints from his majesty's ministers, and communicated them to the conductor of the Times, is a fact that will not easily obtain credit with the public.
We have not a doubt but that his Majesty's Ministers will do every thing in their power, consistently with the honor and safety of the country, to conclude a speedy peace; that they will not suffer any considerations of inferior moment to impede a negotiation; and that they will accede to, or even propose the most moderate and equitable terms.—But from the successful intrigues of the French in the cabinets of foreign powers, we have too much reason to dread, that they will listen to no terms but such as are wholly incompatible with the safety of the nation, with its commercial prosperity, with its political independence. This fear arises principally from the ascendancy which they have acquired to the councils of Spain—an ascendancy which, together with his probable consequences, we long since announced to the public; though by so doing we incurred the animadversions and censure of our contemporaries.
The conduct of the French government is perfectly consistent—as it has been a grand object with every party in France, since the subversion of the monarchy, to annihilate the trade and naval power of Great-Britain. Both the partisans of Brissot, and the followers of Robespierre, agreed, as may be proved from their writings and their speeches, in the application of the Roman maxim, " Delenda est Carthago ," to this country; and in the threat of planting the tri-coloured flag on the banks of the Thames; and the uniform conduct of the government, since the execution of those demagogues, most clearly demonstrates, that they are still influenced by the same views, actuated by the same principle, and bent on the attainment of the same object.
Should our fears be unhappily realised, and the war be protracted by our enemies, in the hopes of acquiring the means of gratifying their own ambition, by accomplishing our destruction, we rely with full confidence on the spirit of the nation, (which is not, thank Heaven, so grossly degenerated as to make us kiss the feet of our invader) for to teach these daring republicans, who seek to grasp at universal empire, that their designs against this country, will be as fruitless as they are unprincipled.
Proceedings of the Diet of Ratisbon, to accelerate a Peace between the Germanic empire, and the French Republic.
Ratisbon, August 1.
The progress of the French has induced the imperial diet, suddenly, to dictate a memorable advice of the empire for the acceleration of peace . On the 30th ult. an extraordinary session of council was held, which was opened by the electoral directory of Mentz, with the following intimation:
"Several embassies having expressed a wish, that the present urgent concerns of the war be taken into consideration, agreeably to the instructions which they received; and that ways and means be consulted for putting a speedy end to this war, the directory of Mentz would not be wanting to give an opportunity for deliberation."
All the envoys, without waiting any further instructions from their courts and constituents, voted, and almost every vote was for the acceleration of peace. The archducal, Austrian, and electoral Bohemian vote, deviated, however, in several respects from the other votes, and was to the following purport:
Vote of the Emperor, as Archduke of Austria, and Elector of Bohemia.
"The present disasters of the war, have chiefly arisen, because the well-meant admonitions of his majesty the Roman emperor, to make common and well-connected preparations of defence in due season, have not been sufficiently attended to; nor have the most recent conclusions, after the first fruitless overtures for peace, as yet been put in force; all which has enabled the enemy to turn every favorable incident to promote their progress, supported by their numbers. A firm and sincere union of all the states to preserve the Germanic constitution, is therefore, the only efficient remedy to bring the
enemy to more equitable sentiments, and to a similar readiness to make peace; and from that constitutional concord alone, the accomplishment of a so much desired, general, equitable and just peace, can be with confidence expected. That his majesty the Roman emperor wishes nothing more than to put an end to the burdens of this heavy war, his majesty has already proved. His majesty's wisdom merits likewise the most perfect confidence, that no resource of obtaining a suitable peace shall be left untried, and no favourable opportunity for it neglected."
The following advice of the empire, respecting a speedy overture for peace, was drawn up on the 30th ult. and immediately sent to Vienna.
Advice to the Empire.
"The present situation of Germany having been taken into consideration, and formally debated upon, all the three colleges of the empire have deemed and resolved:
"That the wish repeatedly manifested of terminating the ruinous war, which is still prosecuting, by means of an acceptable peace with France, be again laid before his imperial majesty, with the most respectful confidence in his majesty's paternal care for the empire; and that his majesty be most urgently and seriously requested, agreeably to the advice of the empire already given with regard to that object, to accelerate it in his wisdom by those means and overtures which are the most proper, and to realise the speedy negotiation by adding the deputation of the empire in the peace to be thus concluded."
Besides this advice of the empire, it was also resolved to send the envoys of Wurtemberg, Bamberg, & Wurtzburg, barons Seckendorff & Gross, as deputies to the French generals. They left this place on Saturday night, the count de Bernstorff, belonging to the Prussian legation, having preceded them hither, at the request of the Prussian, Swedish, Danish, and Hessian embassies. As far as we know, those two deputies are charged to obtain of the French generals, neutrality and safety of person and property, as well for the diet of the empire, its archives and offices, as for the imperial city of Ratisbon, and its inhabitants.
In the conference on Thursday last, some envoys declared, that if a neutrality could not be obtained, it would be best to adjourn the diet. The majority of the envoys would not however agree to this, but proposed other measures of security, upon which they conferred with the principal imperial commission, as likewise with the city, whose magistrates were charged to issue an order for all the French emigrants to quit it.
Last Friday the shell of operations of the army of the empire arrived here.
The magazines of provisions at this place are to be conveyed to Salzburg, and the Emperor is to be requested to spare this city from the passage of troops, and quartering them.
Our expectations are raised to the highest pitch respecting the result of the mission of the two deputies to the French generals. The assurance of Count Geortz, the envoy of Brandenburg, that the Prussian Embassy at Paris would use its good offices with the directory in favor of the Germanic Diet, has revived all our hopes.
LONDON, August 12.
The most important article of intelligence by the Paris paper of the 9th, which came to hand yesterday, is the report of the French having concluded a treaty offensive and defensive with Spain. This is given in the l'Esprit , a paper not the first in point of authenticity, but we think it nevertheless probable. It appears to be the result of the system adopted by the French directory, to deprive us of all our allies by granting them easy terms of peace, and separate Great-Britain from the rest of Europe politically, as by her insular situation, she is naturally. In a few weeks we have not the smallest doubt that peace will be general.
General Championet has taken on the Mein, 14 new pieces of cannon, of different calibres, 12 howitzers, half of them new; and general Bernadotte has made prizes of 45 boats with oats and hay, valued at more than a million of livres.

Very pressing orders have been sent to all the dock-yards of the kingdom, for expediting the government work as fast as possible, and every ship of war, under equipment, is to be completed as fast as possible.
August 15.
Two Hamburg mails have arrived since our last. The intelligence by this mode of conveyance is seldom new, but in the various articles in this day's Telegraph, our readers will find ample confirmations of the late proceedings of the armies, with some additional particulars of the partial actions which have taken place. There seems to prevail a general desire of peace, from which, notwithstanding the good faith and sincerity of our allies, it is more than probable we shall be excluded.

The king of Prussia is said to be on his return to Berlin, there to meet Mr. Hammond. His majesty set out from Cassel on the 5th instant.
August 18.
The siege artillery has been conveyed from Landau for the siege of Mentz.
The court of Lisbon have resolved to send the marquis of Pombal as ambassador extraordinary to London, to negotiate with the British ministry, for such successful assistance as may secure Portugal against the attack of the French, or in case of failure in that object, to convince us of the necessity of their consulting the safety of Portugal by yielding to the propositions which have been made by the French. Their own condition disqualifies them from all active resistance.
August 20.
We have this day laid before our readers some very important state papers. Those respecting Sweden are particularly interesting. The influence of the empress of Russia has prevailed in the court of Stockholm—and it would appear that she is leading it into a war with France, for the purpose, no doubt, of exhausting and weakening Sweden, and to render it an easy prey to her ambition.
The following advice was received yesterday at Lloyd's coffee-house—
By a cutter arrived at Plymouth from a cruise off Brest, we learn that a French squadron, consisting of 11 sail of the line, slipped out of Brest on the evening or Saturday last.
The Hague and Amsterdam papers positively assert that the Dutch fleet sailed the 30th ult. and yet the British fleet has been unable to discover it. This is the second or third fleet from Holland that has defied the vigilance of our cruisers. The best intelligence that will perhaps be heard of it, will be, that it is safe at Brest.
PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1796.
ELECTION.
IT is a circumstance much to be regretted, that a valuable part of our fellow-citizens, who are sincere friends to good order and government, too generally neglect an important duty, the exercise of which, might insure themselves their country and posterity, the long enjoyment of those inestimable blessings, and the dereliction of which, may occasion the most ruinous consequences. Has not the fulness of this position been verified at most of our general elections? Many decline to vote, who nevertheless, are apt enough to find fault when improper characters are invested with power. Let us be confident. Do we ardently wish to prevent war with all its concomitant evils! Let us then elect men into office who are lovers of peace. Are we really desirous that our country should not become the theatre of anarchy! Let us then place the administration under the direction of men, who merit our confidence by their uniform attachment to government; that government under which we enjoy a degree of moral, political, and religious liberty and happiness, scarcely to be equalled, and actually unparalleled. It is true, that all those who solely rely on the goodness and power of omnipotence, can have little to fear from the tumultuous storms of a turbulent world; but it is equally true, that it is the duty of all to make a proper use of the means given them to ward off impending danger. Suppose my house to be threatened by fire, and the means of saving it within my power; if I neglect those means, and the flames consume it, am I not justly censurable? Am I not laying up for myself a store of repentance and self-reproach? Were I to repine at what I had thus voluntarily brought on myself, would it not be the height of folly? Nay, would it not be impiety?
It is a notorious fact that we have men among us who are extremely inimical to the existing government, and every petty art, which the cunning of man is capable of devising, is practised by them in the prosecution of their base designs. Should not these men be opposed? And is it not the indispensable duty of every good citizen to counteract their measures? Such as refuse their aid may have much to answer for. What man would withhold his assistance to guard the life or property of his neighbour? Shall we then see the peace, the prosperity, and the happiness of the whole of our fellow-citizens, and perhaps our posterity, endangered, without discovering equal zeal and alacrity in their preservation?
If the fountain be muddy, the current cannot be pure. And if bad men get into office and good men are kept out, will not bad times succeed? Those who are qualified to vote, but who from neglecting to use that privilege, suffer the wicked to get into office, will have no rational ground of complaint, should their governors become tyrants and trample on their rights; but their fellow citizens may justly reproach them, for being accessory to the mischiefs and miseries that may befall their country. Come forward then on the day of election, and by exerting your influence in favour of men of integrity, prove your attachment to peace, good order and good government.

We are happy in communicating to our readers the following federal intelligence, from the state of Delaware, contained in a letter from Wilmington, dated the 8th inst.
The Delaware state chooses its governor by the people, it also chooses one representative to the federal government by the people.
Last year a governor was chosen and the federal interest prevailed by a majority of 210; this year on choosing a representative to congress, the majority appeared in favour of a true federal man (James A. Bayard) 501; these facts show the change that is taking place in the minds of the citizens of this state. The principles and men of '94 are going fast behind the scene; they are yielding to reason and sound policy.
Two thirds of the house of representatives, and two thirds of the senate of this state are true and substantial federalists that cannot waver; then the electors of a President of the United States, for this state (chosen by such men) will most certainly be true and avowed federalists.
Election for the state of Delaware, on Tuesday the 4th October, 1796.

MR. FENNO. I have since the publication in the Aurora of the eighth of September, in which Mr. E. Tilghman's character is much traduced, been in Annapolis, and have enquired particularly whether Mr. Tilghman was (in the language of the letter) paraded through the streets of Annapolis under a strong guard, for crimes against his bleeding country. I was uniformly told and particularly by a man who was a firm friend to the revolution, was well acquainted with Mr. Tilghman, and who lived there during the war, that the statement was an infamous falsehood.
The charge contained in the extract of the letter as above recited, is flatly denied. The writer of this will submit his name to the publick, whenever the author of the extract shall come forward in support of the allegations, so innocuously offered against Mr. Tilghman. Such liberties taken with the characters of candidates for public offices, at the period of an approaching election, are very reprehensible; calumny and detraction should ever be despised, while candour and modest truth should meet with the countenance of all good men and FREE ELECTORS.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, October 5.
ATTACK ON NEWFOUNDLAND.
Capt. Cretet who arrived last Sunday, in 24 days from Newfoundland, informs, That a French squadron of 6 ships of the line, and 3 frigates, after appearing off St. John's, demanding the surrender of that town from Sir J. Wallace, who commands there, and being refused, had landed a number of men at Ball's Bay, a small hamlet, about 30 miles from St. John's, and burned a number of fishermen's huts. At which place they were when our informant failed. St. John's is protected by two forts—and Wallace's squadron, consists of a 50 gun ship, 3 frigates and 2 smaller vessels—it is therefore probable if they attack that town they will be opposed.
The British frigate La Raison is arrived at Halifax, where a full account of her late action is given. Capt. Beresford has been highly complimented for his conduct on the occasion.
The Elizabeth, one of Capt. Barney's squadron, is arrived at Halifax. She is laid in their papers to mount 40 guns.
Col. Green, is appointed lieutenant Governor of St. Vincent's.
NEW-YORK, October 8.
We learn from Bristol, that Mr. Vandenhurst, the American consul at that port, has received an official letter, stating that the bey of Tunis has delivered up the Eliza Schooner, and also that the American vessels have now nothing to apprehend from the power in the Mediterranean.
LONDON, August 22.
We received this morning, by express, a great number of foreign papers, including the Paris journals of the 17th, 18th and 19th inst.
The attack was begun by the Austrians, on the 29th ult. who, as Buonaparte acknowledges, were victorious for the first three days. But we have more accurate accounts than those of the French general, of the movements of the forces under general Wurmer, contained in a letter from that general himself, the contents of which were forwarded to government from Vienna, by Sir Morton Eden, whose dispatches were received on Saturday.
This letter is dated from Valeggio, on the 2d inst. at which time the Austrians, who had previously compelled the French to raise the siege of Mantua, and to retreat beyond the Po, were proceeding to cross the Mincio, in order to join general Quosdanowicz, who was posted at Brescia, and then to push forward to Milan. General Merzars had received orders to cross the Po, at Borgoforte, while general Lauer was to repair to Mantua, to give the necessary directions for repairing the fortifications, and, at the same time to make preparations for besieging the important fortress of Alessandria and Tortona.
The French had left before Mantua one hundred and forty pieces of cannon, and a vast quantity of ammunition. Their loss in the actions which preceded their retreat, was very considerable, and they passed the river Po at Borgoforte and San Benedetto, in the greatest confusion.
The loss of the Austrians in the different actions is stated to amount to 6000 men killed and wounded, from 12 to 15,000 prisoners, and 70 field pieces. This statement is probably exaggerated. The loss of the French, on which, as usual, they are totally silent, must have been very considerable.
The Paris papers of the 18th and 19th, contain another letter from Buonaparte, dated from his head-quarters at Verona, on the 8th of August. By these it appears, that notwithstanding the total defeat which the Austrians, in his preceding letters, were stated to have sustained, they still maintained their position in the lines of the Mincio, and their communication with the town of Mantua. From this position however they appear to have been driven on the 6th and 7th inst. when the French advanced to Verona, and resumed the position which they had occupied previous to the attack of the Austrians; while the latter are said to have made good their retreat into the Tyrolese. These journals also contain some farther accounts from Germany. By a letter from Kleber (of the 5th of August) it appears that the French did not take possession of the city of Bamberg without opposition. A desperate action took place in the streets of the town, which was maintained with great obstinacy, on both sides, though the French were ultimately victorious.
A letter from general Marceau, dated from Wittenbach, on the 31st ult. gives an imperfect account of a sally made by part of the garrison of Mentz, on the 29th, which appears to have been attended with some success at the outset, though the Austrians were finally obliged to retreat.
On the 8th inst. the advanced posts of the French army extended beyond the river Aich; and the Austrians were expected to make good their retreat to Nuremberg.
We are happy to say, that there does not appear to be the smallest foundation for the report which prevailed in the city on Friday, and mentioned in our paper of Saturday, that a French fleet from Brest had actually put to sea. Certain it is, that no account of any such event has been received at the admiralty; nor is it believed, by those who are most competent to judge, that the French can send any fleet to sea from the port of Brest. The accounts of the sailing of the Dutch fleet from the Texel, are also supposed to be premature.
All the Dutch prize East-India ships are purchased to be employed as storehips in government service. One of the largest is equipping in the river to carry over a breed of live cattle of various kinds to the island of Corsica.
The members of the Irish house of commons have already begun to canvass their constituents, in the expectation of a dissolution of Parliament.
PARIS, August 10.
A message was yesterday sent by the executive directory to the council of five hundred, to inform them that Drouet has escaped from the prison of the abbey; that his evasion appeared to be the effect of corruption; that an investigation had been set on foot for the discovery of his accomplices; and that from what they had already learnt, it did not appear that the armed force had taken any part in that event.
They write from Petersburg, that the Russian army, after the capture of Derbent, reduced four provinces of Persia, and took possession of Benabass, a large and rich commercial city in the Persian gulph, where they took an immense booty.
The following is from the "SUN," a London Paper of August 22.
From the LONDON GAZETTE—August 20.
Admiralty Office, August 20, 1796.
A letter, of which the following is a copy, has been transmitted by Admiral Sir John Jervis, K. B. Commander in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean, to Evan Nepean, Esq. Secretary of the Admiralty, in his letter, dated on board his Majesty's ship Victory, off Toulon, July 18, 1796.
Captain, Porto Ferrajo, July 10, 1796.
SIR, I have the pleasure to inform you, that the troops under the command of Major Duncan, took possession of the forts and town of Porto Ferrajo this day at ten o'clock.
On my joining the convoy from Bastia yesterday morning, Major Duncan having done me the favor to come on board, we concerted the most proper method for speedily executing the viceroy's instructions to the major.
The troops were landed last night, about one mile to the westward of the town, under the direction of captain Stuart, of the Peterel, and the Major immediately marched close to the gate of the west side; and at five o'clock this morning, sent into the governor, the Viceroy's letter, containing the terms which would be granted to the town, and gave him two hours for his answer. At half past
five I came on shore, when we received a message from the Governor, desiring one hour more to consult with the principal inhabitants. We took this opportunity to assure the Tuscan inhabitants, that they should receive no injury whatever in their persons or property.
Having ordered the ships into the harbor to their several stations before appointed, the major and myself determined, should the terms offered be rejected, to instantly open the fire on the ships, and to storm the place on every point from the land and sea.
The harmony and the good understanding between the army and navy employed on this occasion, will, I trust, be a farther proof of what may be effected by the hearty co-operation of the two services.
I cannot conclude without expressing my fullest approbation of the zeal and good conduct of every captain, officer, and man in the squadron; and, also that during the time I was necessarily employed on shore, that my first lieutenant, Edward Bissly, commanded the ship, and placed her opposite to the grand garrison, within half pistol shot, and in such a manner as could not have failed, had we opened our fire, to have had the greatest effect.
I have the honor to be, Sir, with great respect, Your most obedient and faithful servant, (Signed) HORATIO NELSON. Sir John Jervis, K. B.
N. B. The place is mounted with one hundred pieces of cannon, and garrisoned by four hundred regulars, besides militia.

Arrived the 14th inst. Schooner Two Brothers, captain Courter, 51 days from Jamaica. On the 20th ult. fell in with the homeward-bound English fleet, and on the 27th, there came on a very hard gale, which lasted forty eight hours; during the gale, the Vigilant, a transport ship, was cast away on the Florida keys, and entirely lost—the officers and crew came passengers with captain Courter. At the same time saw another ship on shore, supposed to be the William and Mary, who were in company with them the day before—She soon went to pieces, and the crew supposed to be lost.
Sloop Clarissa, captain Jos. Congdon, of New York, was also cast away on the same key. Captain Courter humanely assisted them in saving a part of her cargo, which, together with the crew, he took on board.
A great number of the fleet are supposed to be lost on the Florida keys and Bahama islands, as they were all in company when the gale came on.
Arrived on the 13th inst. captain Bordman, 15 days from Cape Nicholas Mole, who informs, that the news of the declaration of war between England and Spain had arrived there. In consequence of which, all Spanish vessels were immediately taken, and made lawful prizes.

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, intituled an act in addition to an act, intituled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then adequate, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock." 2d. All distinction between payments on account of Interest and Principal being thus abolished by the establishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above described, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I do make, constitute and appoint my true and lawful Attorney for me, and in my name, to receive the dividends which are, or shall be payable according to law, on the (here describing the stock) standing in my name in the books of (here describing the books of the Treasury or the Commissioner of Loans, where the stock is credited) from (here insert the commencement and expiration of time for which the power of attorney is to continue) with power also as attorney or attorneys under him, for that purpose to make and substitute, and to do all lawful acts requisite for effecting the premises, hereby ratifying and confirming all that my said Attorney or his substitute shall lawfully do, by virtue hereof. In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my Hand and Seal the day of in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety six. Sealed and Delivered in presence of, BE IT KNOWN, that on the day of before me personally came within named and acknowledged the above letter of attorney to be his act and deed.

And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that, the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most suspension indispensable.
