Late Foreign News. NEW-YORK, December 8. A respectable commercial house in this city has obligingly favored us with an Hamburg paper of the THIRTEENTH OCTOBER. It is the latest European intelligence received on the continent. Our readers would have been in possession of its contents yesterday morning, had not a mistake occurred which prevented its reaching us sooner than yesterday afternoon. The following articles are translated from it FOR THE MERCANTILE ADVERTISER.
VIENNA, October 3. The Turkish ambassador has received dispatches from Constantinople, by an extraordinary courier, which mention that the Treaty of Alliance is signed between England, Russia and the Porte. Immediately the report was spread that the present situation of Buonaparte would induce him to capitulate; but it appears that all these reports were fabricated. The courier brought no account relative to Buonaparte; but merely dispatches relative to the treaty of friendship and alliance, which the sublime Porte was disposed to form between Russia and other powers. It is certain that Buonaparte, a few days after the French fleet, sent dispatches to the Directory, and informed it of the state of his army, which had suffered very much from the climate and bad water. He requests the Directory to send him, with the greatest expedition, a reinforcement of a large body of troops; and to send out the second division of the Toulon fleet, to place admiral Bruyes in such a situation that he may have no reason to fear the English fleet. The contents of the dispatches of Buonaparte, had been made known at Constantinople officially, through the Turkish minister, to the foreign ministers. Yesterday the English ambassador, Sir Morton Eden, received dispatches from his court for Constantinople. They contain, it is supposed, a counter plan of the alliance between the Porte and the court of London. The French garrison at Corfu consists of about 4,000 men. A part of the Russian troops, which are at present on the march, are said to be destined for Italy. On the 3d of October, the first column of the Russian troops is expected at Cairo. The Greek inhabitants of the Morea have taken the oath of allegiance to the Turkish emperor, and have pledged the children of the first rank for the fulfilment of their obligations. There will yet be raised in the Turkish empire, 100,000 men. The Aigrette, which the Turkish emperor has made a present of to admiral Nelson, is estimated at 30,000 piastres. A letter from Constantinople advises that the Porte is making every possible preparation for war. The Dutch ambassador exerts himself, by every possible means, to counteract it. Agreeable to private letters from Semlin, dated 23th September, it is asserted, that the greatest part of the Turkish army has departed from Widdin, and the Pacha of Natolin is destined with 30,000 men to oppose Pashwan Oglou. At present the city of Widdin is bombarded without intermission; and Pashwan Oglou replies to this bombardment with the most terrible and well directed cannonade: so that at the present moment nothing material has been effected against him. Thirty different attacks with the Turkish army he has most fortunately counteracted, and we are at present waiting the result of the 31st. After the last battle with the governor of Romelia, where on both sides upwards of 1,400 Turks have fallen, the said Pacha has been compelled to retreat to Nafsa—where, by the loss of his head, he will be obliged to account for those lost battles—as also for immense unnecessary expense. At present he has proceeded to Sophia, to reinforce his army with 30,000 mountaineers; and he has wrote to the Grand Sultan that he would appear himself at Constantinople to give an account of his conduct. By letters from Paris of the 4th October last, it is said, yesterday the Neapolitan and Portuguese ambassadors had left that city, but this is hitherto without any foundation. However, it would seem that the Portuguese minister will not remain here long, as his powers are not satisfactory enough; his secretary is an Englishman.
PARIS, October 4. The frigates La Volontaire and the Infatigable failed from Port L'Orient to their respective destinations. General Desfourneaux (agent for Guadaloupe) is on board the first mentioned, and on board the second is citizen Burner for Cayenne. Letters from Brest of the 26th September mention, that as yet of the Squadron that failed out of this port, consisting of one ship of the line and three frigates, none have yet returned, and that since the day of their departure, no news or accounts have been received concerning them. Our Toulon Squadron that failed from thence lately of 3 line of battle ships, and 1 frigate with some transports, has returned to this port; it was reported (but without ground) that they were to take possession of Leghorn. One of our papers contains letters from Ancona of the 18th September, wherein mention is made, that the Generaux ship of the line, had arrived at Corfu, with the English line of battle ships; the Stenton, of 74 guns, which the Generaux fell in with on her voyage in a very shattered condition. On board the sloop of war which brought this news to Ancona came passenger citizen Gommeyras. Yesterday Bergasse Laziroull said in the Council of Five Hundred that there was at present a deficiency of 300 millions now existing, and that means must be resorted to for reissuing that sum; upon which it was resolved to unite the old finance commission, with the new commission of indirect expenses, and to make a report to them thereof; as also of the means for reissuing them.
and establish an equal balance between the receipts and the expenditures. The taxes and assessments for the 7th year are fixed at 210 millions, and the plan for raising the same is already accepted. The directory sent a message to the Council of Five Hundred, wherein they strongly recommend the raising the necessary contributions for the 7th year, which are valued at 600 millions. In Turin there still reigns a kind of dissatisfaction between the French troops and the inhabitants of that place.
ROME, September 28. All the inhabitants of our republic, capable of bearing arms, have been enrolled, in order to be in readiness to march, if necessary. They write from Naples that Admiral Nelson was expected there with a part of his fleet on the 18th inst. There has passed through our city, a French officer from Malta, who it is said is charged with dispatches to the directory of great importance from Buonaparte, relative to his deplorable situation in Egypt. Others pretend that he only carries an account of the present situation of Malta. The French have disarmed all the inhabitants of the Roman republic on the borders of Naples. The confal Angelucci, who resides here, has resigned his place.
ITALY, September 28. By the last enrollment, 40,000 men have been enrolled in the territory of Naples. A very mortal disorder, it is said, rages at Cairo. The Ligurian republic, induced by the French, is greatly increasing its military force. They have granted the minister of war 500,000 livres. We have at present another detail respecting the defeat of the French in Egypt—Agreeable thereto, the first of August was appointed by the French admiral to celebrate Buonaparte's entry into Cairo. The French admiral's ship was most superbly dressed with colors of every description when the British fleet appeared in sight of the French—The British tars huzzed in such a manner as if they were certain of victory. It is reported that Admiral Nelson said, "To-morrow I shall be either a lord or an angel."
VENICE, September 30. In our neighborhood every thing assumes a warlike appearance. In the magazines and foundries they are employed day and night incessantly. Here is the deposit of gun powder and artillery for the imperial army in Italy: Our garrison consists of 14,000 men. Near Verona the imperial troops have formed a camp of 30,000 men; another of 18,000 men is formed near Padua. The Archduke Joseph is daily expected to review the troops. The French garrison at Mantua consists of 6,000 men.
NAPLES, September 11. They say the Viceroy of Sicily has advised our court that at the time when they were carrying off all the silver utensils at Malta, very serious disturbances had arisen, in which the malcontents gained some advantage. Other reports add, that the French, who had retreated to the fort of Elgo, had been compelled to bombard the city of Valetta; and that the malcontents of that city had kept up so heavy a fire on the French ship of the line which had fled from Alexandria, that she soon after sunk. As things are situated, in case of a war with France, after the fate of the Toulon fleet, the island of Sicily need not be under any apprehension of an attack from the French. Therefore most of the regiments which have been raised will be transported with dispatch to the kingdom of Naples.
LONDON, October 2. On Sunday afternoon Sir Sydney Smith, again left town for Portsmouth, being appointed to a separate command. As we know that an English officer is about to leave this country for Constantinople, to take the command of the Turkish fleet, we think it highly probable that Sir Sydney is the man.
October 5. Admiral Nelson and the Captains of his ships will be complimented with the rights of citizenship of this metropolis. Two months and more had elapsed before we received the news of Nelson's victory. All ships or vessels coming into British ports from Philadelphia or Pennsylvania, are obliged, on account of the present prevailing contagious disorder in those parts, to lay quarantine.
LEESBURG, (Vir.) Nov. 29. On Sunday evening last a fire was discovered on the plantation of Mr. Charles Binns, by a negro man belonging to Mrs. Ansley. He informed Mr. Edward Rhodes of the circumstance, who concluded it was made by some runaway slaves, and approached the fire with intent to apprehend them. Two negroes were discovered asleep. They immediately seized them, and Mr. Rhodes secured one, who is safe in goal; but unfortunately, in a scuffle, the other, slabb'd Mrs. Ansley's negro, with a knife, of which he died the next morning:—The villain immediately fled, and notwithstanding the greatest exertions of a number of gentlemen to apprehend him, he has escaped. They ran away from their masters near Peterburgh, for the apprehension of whom, it is said, sixty dollars was offered. It is reported that several Negroes of the above description are lurking in the country, probably provided with similar weapons, and determined to defend themselves at the risk of their lives. Great caution is necessary in attempting to apprehend them to prevent similar disasters.

On Saturday afternoon, at half after 3 o'clock P. M. the United States Brig South-Carolina, built by Mr. Paul Pritchard, and intended for the Revenue Cutter of this port, was launched from his yard. She is a beautiful vessel, will mount 14 guns and it is expected will be commanded by James Paine, Esquire. She is sixty-three feet keel, 96 upon deck, and 22 feet beam, built of our own Live Oak, to be coppered, handsomely moulded and constructed, and judges say will sail remarkably fast.
Her launch was conducted with skill and regularity; she travelled majestically and with rapidity into her element as soon as she was released from the blocks, without accident.
A great number of gentlemen went up to view the pleasing scene, and were highly gratified. There would doubtless have been a very great concourse of spectators had timely notice been given, but from some accident this was omitted, and it was therefore not so generally known as it should have been.
One of the G. H. lately built, commanded by Capt. Hayward, failed up the river with a party of gentlemen, and fired a salute as soon as she ornamented the water, and were succeeded by the hearty huzzas of the citizens.
SMITH'S MOUNT, (Vir.) Nov. 10.
MR. GREEN.
It is a matter of little consequence to the public, or the citizens of Westmoreland whether in fact, I was the first, or the last person, who signed the address of that county to the President; nor should I even have troubled myself with rendering a statement of the transaction, had it not been extorted from me by a wanton, and infamous misrepresentation which appeared in a Fredericksburg paper, and which was re-published in the Times, about the 20th of July, in which last paper it was first presented to my knowledge. I still remain ignorant of the Author of this most impudent and wicked attempt to impose upon the public, at the expense of my fellow citizens of Westmoreland, nor shall I ever be induced to discover him: It is enough that near 500 of the most respectable citizens of that county signed this address, and patriotic address to their illustrious and beloved chief magistrate, and that (no matter whether) 11 or 15 signed the counter-resolutions.
This is a truth which, I believe will not now be contested by the effeminate and duplicity even of Jacobin violence and intrigue.
To prove to you that the Herald has not been prostituted by the least excess of truth in the whole course of my publications, and to afford you, and those who may be curious enough to examine them, a specimen of Jacobin veracity I now take the liberty to transmit to you three papers, upon which my defence of the cause of my country has been conducted; the one is Mr. Porter's list given in at Stafford on the 30th June, upon which my statement was founded, as far as it related to the very unimportant particular of the number of subscribers on the list, bearing my name, which you will observe precisely to correspond with my foregoing communications: The other is an original paper containing 53 subscribers, 37 of whom signed on the 25th June, being court day. Now add to these 37, the number admitted by Mr. Parker to have signed on court day upon the other list attacked by his friend Justice Templeman, and you will find the result to be 72. Yet the whole of this shameful controversy has been grafted upon my contradiction of the anonymous statement of the single fact, that "not more than between 40 and 50 persons could be prevailed on to sign the address to the President on the 25th of June."
The papers which I now forward you with a request that they may be deposited in your office, I obtained from Col. William Augustus Washington, with whom the authentic documents relating to the address were lodged, for the avowed purpose of being referred to in case any attempts might be made by the party agents in this country of the diabolical French faction, to misrepresent that honorable, salutary, and patriotic measure.
HENRY SMITH TURNER.
MR. GREEN.
In your paper of the 27th inst. I see a Memorial from the county of Caroline, to the General Assembly. This Memorial, it is said, received the sanction of a numerous meeting of the people, who directed the chairman to sign it in their behalf. In this statement there is some inaccuracy which ought to be corrected. The fact is, first, that the meeting was not numerous, and that not more than half of the people present at the Court House voted upon the question. I say not numerous—because this word is to be understood in its relative sense, as bearing some proportion to the rest of the County. In this sense it is very incorrect indeed, for I do not believe that any thing like a third or even a fourth of the county voted in favor of it.
If the Chairman was ordered to sign the Memorial in behalf of the Meeting, he must have received his orders in private, and from a few, for I assure you he received no such directions in public, or from the many.
It is necessary that this matter should be rightly understood; because the Memorial alluded to is extremely rude in style, and contains very unwarrantable insinuations, not only against the government of the United States, but against every officer of government, and against every man who is attached to the constitution and laws of his own country. But the people of Caroline, with some exceptions, are firmly Federal. Arts and artifices have been practiced to deceive them, to inflame their passions, and to mis-
lead and delude them. These, however, are setting right! Information is diffusing over the country; the eyes of the people are opening fast, and those who have been chiefly instrumental in deluding them, are sinking fast in the public estimation.
Let it be known, Sir, a Counter-Memorial is preparing, which will be presented at the next Court, for the signatures of those who, like myself, approve of all the measures of the Federal Government which bear any sort of relation to the French Directory, or to the partizans, agents and spies of the French Directory.
A FEDERAL FREEHOLDER of Caroline.
EASTON, (E. S. M.) Dec. 4.
At the close of the Polls in the district, on Thursday evening last, the votes, as far as we have been able to understand, stood as follows:
In Talbot for Mr. G. 630—for Mr. N. 356 In Queen Ann's for do. 417—for do. 641 In Caroline the majority for do. 122.
So that Mr. Nicholson appears to be elected by a majority of 74 votes only.
This happy, and we will venture to assert, this ill-informed change in the sentiments of the people, proves that the cause of anti-federalism, which had most unexpectedly taken a foothold in the district, is declining apace, and forebodes the triumph of Federalism at the next trial. Indeed, we are persuaded that the people in general, are very faithfully attached to their government, and hold the hostility and intolerance of the French in utter detestation; and the moment they know how falsely the friends of Mr. Goldsborough have been accused of infidious designs against their country, and how unjustly they have been treated by the champions of opposition, they will know in whom they ought to confide, and against whom to level their well-grounded resentments. They have the best hearts in the world; but they have not sufficiently the means of information.

A writer in Europe predicts some good effects from the French taking Malta. He remarks that the Algerines have always alleged, in excuse of their piracies, that they could not alter their piratical way of life, while the Maltese were cruising against them. As this reason no longer exists, he is inclined to think they may quit the profession; especially as the French insist on it. What glorious times for trade, when the Algerines and French quit piracy!
The French pirates, which for a long period had infested the port of Havana, became at length so offensive, that the government of Cuba has given orders to expel them therefrom.

Letters from Vienna, dated Sept. 29, says— The latest intelligence from Egypt, received by the way of Constantinople, do not mention any new battles having recently taken place in that quarter—but mention, that the situation of Buonaparte was very unfavorable, and that an army of 60 or 70 thousand men were marching to surround him.
We are anxious to be informed of the result of the propositions made by the French minister at Rastadt, which were said to have actually taken place, intimating, that peace should be made with all the powers actually at war with the French Republic, considering that the situation of Europe is such, that the general will is that war should be at an end. They positively ascertain also, that the Ottoman Ministry are determined, if this happy event should be agreed upon, to participate.

TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Virginia, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated November 23d, 1798.
"J. Brackenridge made a journey last August, from Kentucky to the Eastern parts of Virginia, and brought back with him, ready penned, the nine resolutions, that are now so much talked of, in the Western Parts of the Country."
When General Washington came into Congress Hall to hear the President's Speech, the members of both houses rose to him—an honor never before paid to any but the President himself.
We are happy to learn that measures are pursuing to bring to justice the hardened villain who charged one of the most illustrious characters of our city, with the horrid crime of MURDER. Indeed it is high time this infamous Jasper had returned that iron situation which he fled from.

COMMUNICATIONS.
WHEN we reflect on the downfall of the governments of Venice, Genoa and Switzerland with a view to investigate the causes which have induced their destruction, we shall find, that not so much to the strength of their enemies, as to the depth of their political intrigues, can the rulers of the French republic attribute their success in those countries. It may indeed be said down as an incontrovertible truth, that before the French republic have employed the perverseness of their arms for the destruction of any country, they had, by means of their insidious principles nearly secured the wished-for conquest. From hence then it results, that the first and greatest dangers any country can be exposed to from that nation, is not from their arms, but from their flow and certain intrigues. In corroboration of this, it may be asked, have we not had our own country brought to the verge of ruin, and nearly "tottering to its fall" by those very means; and is it not to those intrigues that we alone can attribute the opposition which is yet made to the late virtuous and politic arts of our government!
Impressed by these sentiments, it was with much concern I heard our truly patriotic President, in his excellent communication to Congress, declare, as his opinion, that it remains with France alone to determine, whether the United States shall remain at peace, or shall embark herself in a war.
Are not the injuries and insults which have been heaped upon us by that nation, sufficient to warrant in the opinion of the whole world an immediate declaration of war? A war which, in my opinion is not so much to be waged against the People of France , as against their principles ; which is not so necessary to obtain a compensation for injuries already done us, as to prevent a renewal of them at a future day. Can the United States cherish the expectation that while France continues in her present intentions of overthrowing every government in Europe, that her distance is a sufficient protection for her against aggressions of a similar nature; and that when she assures her of a wish to cultivate harmony and mutual intercourse between the two nations, that her real intentions are not again to obtain an influence in this country, and finally, thereby to destroy our excellent constitution, and erect on its ruins the detested fabric of republican tyranny . No, although apparently she may desist from her insidious attacks, yet she will secretly pursue and act in the same line of conduct; and if an envoy is admitted into our country, it will much accelerate her intentions, and almost insure their final completion. A FRIEND TO GOVERNMENT.
"SHEW VICE ITS OWN FEATURES."
The Governor, in his trimming speech, has owned that there is now a perfect unanimity in the people, to "maintain the dignity and rights of our government against the arrogance and force of every foreign power." We cannot sufficiently admire the candour, and communicative wisdom of him who comes forward to tell what every one knew, and we are particularly struck with the acuteness of the following observation: "This state of the public sentiment, bids defiance to every danger from external outrage." But there is another confusion more astonishing still, and which we fear we shall not be able exactly to comprehend till his Excellency will please to explain more particularly—viz. "the spirit of party, intolerant and vindictive, has evidently raged so long for the peace and reputation of our country." We know not what party spirit would injure the peace and reputation of the country, but the spirit of unbridled and licentious democracy, the spirit of Jacobinism, the spirit of the apostate Lifpoo and his agents, the spirit that actuated the Loganion embassy , the spirit that opposed every measure which government took to produce this unanimous public sentiment: this spirit has evinced itself as intolerant as a vindictive, as a blind zeal for liberty, run mad, and false philosophy could
produce, or unholy artifice and impotent malice would permit; never neglecting an opportunity to "discolour the current of public transactions," and also to "undermine the equal exercise of the rights of private opinions;" far what can tend more to undermine this right, than destroying the liberty of the press? and who has attempted this but Jacobins?
If it is this party spirit which has raged too long for the peace and reputation of the country, what ardent can they make in whom it was first generated, by whom it has been cherished, by whom it was sedulously maintained as long as they dared maintain it, and who, by the gradual, equivocal and reluctant manner in which they now let it slide from them, show how willing they would be still to prefer it?
MR. FENNO,
Perhaps some friend to the Secretary, (I do not presume to trouble his excellency with the question) may be induced to furnish an explanation for weaker heads, of the concluding clause in his last speech—
"If talents shall be indiscriminately selected and rewarded for their intrinsic merit alone; and if in short the standard of political parties shall cease to be a measure for moral perfection, then we may long continue to be a happy people, &c."
Much was I confused at the bare proposition for this indiscriminate selection of intrinsic merit, having always heard from my grand mother, that in order to select, I must always discriminate. Judge then of the state of my poor brain, when I came to the position that states, that by ceasing to observe an important rule in life, we shall therefore continue to be happy.
Yours, with impatience,

Wilmington, (Del.) Dec. 8, '98.
MR. FENNO,
THIS hopeless link of Jacobinism has been honored with a visit from Logan and his wife Deborah. I apprehend the latter accompanied the former merely to save appearances. They put up at the old Jacobin and piddling genius's, Dickinson's house, in the evening of the 28th ult. In the morning several of the leading members of the disorganizing faction were seen entering the house; among the group was the noted Doctor Tilton and Hamilton Rowan, the United Irishman and traitor. On this fellow's meeting Logan, they gave each other the fraternal hug. That night several of the lower order of Jacobins met the envoy at Dr. Tilton's—shut the door—and what follows time must develop:—one thing is pretty evident; those United Dagger men are plotting, and it requires no great sagacity to predict, that if government does not pay some attention to Mr. Logan, fool as he may be, he will raise a dust—I mean as an instrument for the directory of France and America; for that a directory exists here, as well as in France, I have no doubt.
N. B. Last night a secret meeting of a select club of Jacobins assembled at the house of Isaac Starr, tanner, of famous Jacobin memory—the old fox, Tilton, present—the door shut. Friends to government look out! the storm is gathering!
CONGRESS.
In Senate this day, the answer to the President's Speech was agreed to, and the committee who prepared it, appointed to wait upon the President to know at what time it would be convenient for him to receive it.

Mr. Harper moved, that a committee be appointed to prepare and bring in a bill for establishing an uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States.
Mr. Harper also laid on the table a resolution, the object of which was to authorize the Secretary of State to cause to be printed copies of the Alien and Sedition laws, to be distributed gratis throughout the United States.
To this he was induced, he said, from observing the unceasing efforts which were made by a certain class of men to bring these acts into odium among the people—Misrepresentation had been used, in order to excite an armed opposition to the government.
