Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, August 19.
A Brew-house and a Distillery are now erecting at Pittsburgh, on the site of the Old Fort du Queſne.
USEFUL AGRICULTURAL HINT. From a Liverpool paper.
The not permitting sheep to lay long upon the ground, when first put to turnips, but to move them about at stated intervals in the day and night, has been found to prevent that fatal disorder called the water in sheep, which arises from their gorging themselves with turnips, and then remaining without exercise to carry off the beginning of the complaint.
In the little work of Dr. Carmichael Smith, containing experiments made with nitrous acid, to check the infection of a fever on board the Union Hospital-Ship; it appears that the noxious effluvia, generating fever, may be entirely destroyed, by the simple process of extricating it in the form of vapour, in an affected apartment, as to render it perfectly safe to the attendants, and others necessarily employed about the person of the sick.
PROGRESS OF SCIENCE. HALLIFAX, (N. C.) August 1.
We are informed that the semi annual examination commenced at the University on Monday the 11th of July, in the presence of his Excellency the Governor, President of the board, a considerable number of the Trustees, and the Committee of Visitation; the business was not finished until Friday the 15th, when the judgment of the Committee respecting the examination was publicly pronounced in the presence of all the Students and some of the Faculty of the University; several classes and some of the Students received the marked approbation and applause of the board and Committee.
It was said with great truth by the French Convention "that as in every free Government, the law emanates from the people, it is necessary that the people should receive an education to enable them to understand the law, and the political part of this education should be directed to the principles of the Constitution under which they live. The plan of education established by the board of Trustees appears to be predicted upon this principle, and designed to form useful and respectable members of society—citizens capable of comprehending, improving and defending the principles of our governments; citizens, who from the highest impulse, a just sense of their own and the general happiness, would be induced to practise the duties of social morality.
From Sir B. Thompson, in the Philosophical Transactions for 1794.
"THE light of an Argand's lamp is to that of a lamp of the common construction, with a ribband wick, as 187 to 100, and the quantity of light with a given quantity of oil in these two lamps is about 15 per cent. The light of the lamp when compared with that of a wax candle three fourths of an inch in diameter, was as 1 to 12. In the production of light, 100 parts of bees' wax are equal to 101 of tallow, 129 of olive oil, 125 of rape oil, and 120 of linseed oil. A candle burns twice as fast when not snuffed.
From late English papers. CAMBRIDGE, May 14.
We should have thought it impossible for any scheme to have entered into the brains of a bedlamite more frantic than some of those pursued by our ministers. But the apostate Fitzwilliam has proved us mistaken. In the House of Lords on Tuesday last, his Lordship declared in strong language, "that he was against any sort of peace being concluded with France, and that he was decidedly for the bellum internecinum"—that is, the war of absolute extermination!
On Saturday last his Serene Highness Prince
William of Gloucester, with his aids-de-camp and suite, arrived at Trinity Lodge, for the purpose of taking his degree of Doctor of Laws in this university; and on Monday he was admitted to the said degree in full Senate, being presented by the Rev. W. L. Mansel, the public orator, who delivered in his usual graceful and impressive manner, an elegant Latin oration, but which we are sorry to say, was full of fulsome compliment, not only to the prince, but to some of the prominent vices of the times.
It is supposed there were between two and three thousand persons assembled on the occasion; and the ceremony was conducted with much elegance and dignity.
His Serene Highness is now in the 21st year of his age, and his manners are affable and pleasing.
In the Court of King's Bench on Friday, an action was brought by James v. Wright on a note of hand for 12l. When this note was put in and proved, Mr. Mingay, for the defendant observed, that James was a publican, and lived near Carnaby market; that the defendant was formerly a butcher, but now had also become a publican, so that both parties were publicans; and he was afraid before this cause was over, it would appear that they were both likewise Sinners.
It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff and defendant sat down in the plaintiff's House to play at whist on a Sunday morning; and that the defendant lost 12l. for which he gave him the note in question, payable in 18 months. It was also proved, that the plaintiff had afterwards offered to sell this note to a third person for 2gs.
THE FIRST LADIES IN THE LAND, they shall certainly exhibit themselves in the PILLODY. When I speak of the highest classes of society, I must be understood to mean subjects, for these observations do in no respect apply to those of the very highest rank in this country, who hold out for the imitation of their subjects the brightest example of every public as well as private virtue!"—Verdict for defendant.
Translated for the Gazette of the United States. HAGUE, May 3.
The hotel called de late Hof, destined for the accommodation of the Hereditary Prince, is granted by government to the Ambassador of the French Republic.
FRANCKFORT, May 3.
Strafsburg papers mention, that a short time ago printed invitations to desert to the army of Condé, were distributed among the republican troops; the result of which manoeuvre was, that the cards, in which a 24 lous piece was wrapped up, were torn in pieces, and the money turned into the chest of the army.
DUMOURIER. From the Gazette of Erlangen, April 15.
Letters from Copenhagen mention—"On the 12th of October, last year, a small sized man arrived here, who announced himself for a French American, and soon after departed in an American bottom for America. Afterwards we were informed, that it was the famous DUMOURIER, who finally despatched of re-establishing the Constitution of 1791.
The following is a continuation of the interesting Intelligence contained in the Paris papers to the 22d of June, brought by the brig Ruby, Capt. Lloyd Jones, in 48 days from Bourdeaux, and translated for the American Daily Advertiser.
Extract of a letter from Munich, June 6.
An extraordinary courier is just arrived here from Inspruek, with dispatches for Gen. Wurmser, which gives the following news, and which has created much alarm.
On the 2d instant the vanguard of the French army was before the town of Trente, from whence the Prince Bishop and the principal inhabitants immediately took flight.
The result of the news is, that the French army, which has treated with nearly all the states of Italy, and which dictated conditions of peace that none of them had the power to refuse, is about to direct all its operations against the hereditary states of the House of Austria, and that a route is to be opened in Istria and Tirol.
In the consternation caused by general terror, we know nothing positively of the army of Beaulieu; it is said that he is encamped at Campera, where he expects the tardy reinforcements which he was promised from Vienna.
Letters inform us here, that the Empress of Russia has guaranteed Galicia to the House of Austria, and that Gen. Harnoncourt, who commands an army there, has been ordered on his march, to join, as soon as possible, the army of General Beaulieu.
It appears decided that the Arch Duke Charles will follow the plans of the Marshal Clairfayt, in the present campaign; and it is said that the Austrian forces being much more considerable than they were last year, the consequences must be advantageous.
DUSSELDORF, June 12.
Since the union of the grand French army with
that of General Kleber, it has proceeded by forced marches; a part of the army under Gen. Wirttemberg, and his head quarters, have been taken by the French; the principal treasure of the Imperial army at Wilbaden, and all the magazines between the Lahn and the Main, sufficient to maintain the republican army for a month, have also fallen into their hands.
Generals Bernadotte and Championnet have blockaded Mayence on the two banks of the Rhine, and General Lefebvre is before Frankfort. The Imperial army has passed the Mein in great haste.
On the 9th, General Moreau, having had information that the army of Gen. Wurmser, posted in the mountains of Neustadt, were making movements to fall back towards Mannheim, and judging by that that he could not support his position, he made an attack upon him in front and rear, with the principal forces of the armies of the Rhine and Moselle.
FLORENCE, May 28. Citizen Miot, minister plenipotentiary of the French republic at our Court, departed on Monday last for Milan.
We learn from Leghorn, that Adm. Jarvis continues to cruise off Toulon. He has sent some of his ships to Corsica to water.
The French minister at Genoa has published an advertisement addressed to Frenchmen residing in the states of that republic, to the following effect:
"The Executive Directory has fixed the principles which ought to be attended to by Frenchmen in foreign countries. France, being a republic, can acknowledge only those Frenchmen for citizens who accept of that form of government; all others will be considered as proscribed. It is essential that the republic of France should be assured of the fidelity of those of its citizens who are momentarily removed from her territory, and who are allowed to return at their pleasure.
BOLOGNA, May 25.
On Saturday last, D. Azara, minister of his Catholic Majesty at Seig, arrived here from Rome, accompanied by the able Evangelist, first officer of the Secretary of State.
RENNES, June 10.
"General Hoche, who arrived here on the 20th from Laval, and yesterday set out for Vannes, has charged me to inform you, that the Chouans of the department of Mayence have followed the good example of those of the departments of Maine and Loire and Loire inferior, in giving up their arms, and in submitting themselves to the laws of the Republic.
"The bands of the departments of Ille and Vilaine begin to surrender themselves, especially in the district of Baine; the chiefs of those of the district of Rhedon amount nearly to 900 men, so that the armed and unarmed speak of submitting.
"The chiefs of the division of Morbihan wished to have a conference on the 24th inst. with generals Quintin and Mermet.
"All the operations of Gen. Hoche; the continual marches of his columns, always directed to the points where it is the most important to strike; his prudence in the combination of his plans, and his firmness in their execution, cause him to succeed in his commission beyond all hope.
"Can it be too soon to hear of the submission of all the Chouans, who have so long desolated these unhappy countries? perhaps the moment so much wished for is not far distant.
PARIS, June 18.
We learn from Cherbourg that the privateer Sans Culotte, went out of that port on the 17th and returned on the 19th Prairial, with the Enterprise an English cutter and a Jersey packet boat coming from Southampton, richly laden with plate and other valuables.
The Minister of the Marine and of the Colonies have just learned from Rochefort, that on the 19th Capt. Barney, of the Vengeur, brought in eleven vessels taken from the English.
On the 16 and 17th were brought into Rochelle the Alice of London and the Britannia Queen of Bristol; the first laden with hides and rails; the last with wheat.
It appears that whilst the Austrians are destroyed en masse, the English commerce suffers in detail; for there scarcely passes a day in which Republican cruisers do not bring in some of their vessels.
OFFICIAL.
Buonaparte has written to the Directory, under date of the 20th Prairial (June 8) that Mantua is invested by our troops; that general Serrurier is already master of the Faubourg of St. George and of the head of the bridge.
June 22.
In the Council of Five Hundred, on the 9th of June, Rouyer, in the name of the Inspecting commissioners, spoke thus: The factions cease not their agitations; this night a movement has been discovered, and it would have been carried into effect
but for the vigorous measures taken by the general in chief, who has marched his troops into the city amongst the seditions. If the malecens redouble their efforts, I can assure you government redoubles its activity; it is sure to destroy the factions.
On the 21st of June, in the same Council, on the proposition of d'Eschafferiaux, the following resolutions were come to.
1. There shall be given to the disposition of the Minister of the Interior the sum of four millions to serve as an encouragement to national manufactures, principally to those of wool, silk and cotton. 2. One million of this sum to be made in immediate advances to the manufacturers of Lyons, who shall stand in need of it to re-establish their manufactures. 3. The rest of the four millions to be employed for the encouragement of manufactures of the productions of the soil.
MADRID, May 1.
There are arrived in the Andalousie, near fifty thousand men, a part of which seemed destined to reinforce the camp of St. Roch, and perhaps, it is said, to lay siege to Gibraltar, and the rest to embark either on board the squadron of admiral Solano ready to set sail for the Havannah, or on board 12 vessels of the line which are arming in the Port of Cadiz.
We hear from Cadiz that there is arrived there the St. Gabriel from the East-Indies, and several other vessels richly laden with piastres. One of the convoys happened to meet with the 14th of Dec. May, six French vessels of the line, and four frigates. The commandant of this division offered to the Spanish vessels every succour in their power.

[While we are admiring with the warmest satisfaction every struggle which is made in asserting and supporting the "Rights of Man," and while we bitterly detest every despotic attempt to keep these rights from our view, or abridge them, we should recollect that NATIONAL RIGHTS AND SOVEREIGNTY, are as inherent, imprescriptable and important, as individual. And with the same sentiments that we view the exercise of despotism or infringements upon the one, should we feel the like abuses on the other.] Boston Mer. Laufanne, April 18.
Extract of a letter.
The firm and dignified answer of the Canton of Berne, to the insulting note of the French Directory, has infused a spirit of unanimity in every mind, and a spirit of vigor into every heart. There is not a Swiss who does not swear to repel, and flatter himself with the hope of revenging, agreeably to the invitation of the inhabitants of Bale, and even of punishing, the aggression with which we are threatened by the French Republic.
It is impossible to form a just idea of all the miserable tricks which the Directory have played upon the neighbouring states. The unfortunate republic of Geneva, which the French effected to compassionate, after the bloody scenes to which they had condemned her, is at this moment involved in a dispute, which, whimsical as it appears, occasions her no inconsiderable alarm.
It appears that the French resident had been mortified by a part of the answer of the Syndics to

his speech, on his reception, in which they said, "When we shall be able, in our turn, to congratulate you on the restoration of a general peace, and on your internal prosperity;—in those happy times we shall both of us forget the cruel scenes which we have been doomed to witness, &c."
The French resident, by way of punishing them for having deferred the congratulations which he expected, to so distant a period, presented them with the tri-colored flag, accompanied by a demand, that a kind of civic festival should be celebrated on the day of its reception. The Syndics, who were perfectly aware of the object of this demand, and were sensible that such an absurd festival might be productive of fresh disorders to the Republic, and affront the coalisced powers, refused to comply with it. The French resident then threatened to quit the place, and to write to the French Directory on the subject; but the Syndics replied, that, in that case, they should send two deputies to Paris—and so the matter ended, the national flag being received incognito .
When the Syndics went out of office on the 3d of April, and rendered an account of their conduct, they were called upon to explain this business. "The ceremony of the reception of this flag," said they, "was by no means a matter of indifference; and on an object of this nature, it behoved the Council to be circumspect, on account of the smallness of our Republic. Besides, the principles of Equality between nations rendered it a duty in us to pursue the same simple forms which were observed by the National Convention, at the reception of our flag. It has been deposited in the temple of St. Peter, by the flags of our ancient allies, the worthy Cantons of Zurich and Berne."
The French resident took umbrage at this declaration; he observed, that he could not avoid sending it to the Directory, and that he could not answer for the consequences.
He seems the more anxious to terrify the people of Geneva, because they no longer affect to conceal the deep repentance they experience for the share which the French induced them to take in the revolutionary schemes which have disgraced their territory. Since the departure of the troops, by which they were surrounded, for Italy, the spirit of the Genevese has recovered its former vigour, and renewed its attachment to the antient laws of the country. A proof of this change was exhibited, in a particular manner, at the election of the new Syndics; for the chiefs of the revolution, who had the presumption to offer themselves as candidates, were rejected by an immense majority; and the people chose four citizens, who, without indeed being members of the antient government, are distinguished for their probity, and for the honor which they have invariably testified at all the transactions of the revolution.
Their first care was to bring to trial a man by the name of Conte, secretary to the old revolutionary tribunal, who was accused of having stolen or misapplied different sums of money, during the collection of the forced loan. He was condemned to make amende honorable , with a lighted torch in his hand—a punishment which he underwent, to the great satisfaction of the people, who see with pleasure, that the criminal authors of the revolution will soon be brought to trial.

"His majesty's ship Alfred, of 74 guns, brought in here yesterday a French Republican frigate of 44 guns and 250 men, called the Renommée, taken off Altevalla. She is a fine new ship, and remarkable fast sailer. She was taken in consequence of her supposing the Alfred to be an East India-man, with troops, as the Alfred's guns were housed, when first she got sight of her. Monsieur gave chase and came down boldly until she was well within gun shot, when the Alfred luffed round and gave her such a dose, as astonished Monsieur, and fully convinced him he had got a Scotch prize."

MENTZ, May 31.
The following general orders have been published to the Imperial army:
"The unreasonable demands of the insolent Government of France having dispersed all hopes for peace at present, and a new campaign becoming necessary, the armistice has been declared at an end by his Imperial Majesty, and hostilities will recommence on the 31st inst. between the hours of eleven and twelve in the forenoon. His Majesty having been pleased to confer on me the command of the army, at this critical period I feel it my duty to exert all my powers, and I wish and hope, that all the troops under my command, on whose bravery depends the happiness of our native land, and the obtaining of an honorable peace, may be animated by similar zeal and patriotic sentiments, and that they may vigorously and indefatigably co-operate to gain this important object, to which I hereby solemnly call upon them. Reciprocal confidence of the troops in their commander, and of the commander in his troops, is the only means to favour the execution of this grand design, and to facilitate the fulfilling of duties so noble. This I beg from the army, which I have the honour to command; and I think I deserve it, by my sincere attachment to them. I am proud of being at the head of one of the bravest and best armies that ever appeared in the field, and which has in this war already given so many proofs of courage, bravery, and fidelity. Without partiality for the troops of his majesty's hereditary dominions: I shall value the merit of any individual, and feel alike at any loss whatever. Our situation, our views, and our advantages, are so closely connected, that all have a right to expect in the same degree, my regard for them. We must all be animated by the same spirit, which is founded on reciprocal esteem, and confidence originating from experience.—The Generals, I hope, will endeavor to heighten, in the troops under their command, the compliance to their duty, by strong sentiments of patriotism, and by a noble impulse for honour and glory—to guard them against that enthusiasm of the present time, which serves to seduce the public opinion, and to dissolve the bonds of society; they will not suffer single members to undermine the firmness of the whole body by unguarded words, premature reproach, and political quarrels; they will maintain in the principal part of the German nation a firm persuasion, and a warm sense of the justice of our cause; and they will establish in the private soldier confidence in his commander and in himself. It is folly to despise an enemy, at least in regard to his strength and valour: but it is also the highest degree of pusillanimity to value him more than one's self, and to ascribe to him a superiority of which that enemy has given no proofs whatever.—We fight for every thing that is dear to us, Religion, Government, Property, real Political Liberty, Order and Laws, against the attacks of a nation, which tramples on all the bonds of society, destroys all property, and which attempts, without faith, without religion and conscience, to ruin the human race. We fight for the rights of civilized nations: Germany has confided to us the care of her welfare and preservation; we must fulfil her expectations—we can, we will do it. The Field Marshal takes this opportunity to acquaint the troops under his command with his sentiments, and to assure them of the full confidence he places in the known abilities of their Commanders, and in their own valour."

PARIS, June 16.
Letter from General MOREAU, commander in chief of the army of the Rhine, and Moselle, to the Executive Directory.
Head-Quarters at Artzheim, 21 Prairial (June 9.) Last night the enemy evacuated Triptal, Keyserlautern, Neustadt and Spies, and have retired to the environs of Mannheim. In pursuing them we have taken between 150 and 200 prisoners.
The army at present occupies the position of Speyerbach. Head-quarters this day will be transferred to Edickhofen. By the next courier I shall give you further particulars of our situation. During three days I have not been off my horse. Never were our affairs in so good a train on the Rhine.
(Signed) MOREAU.
Letter from the Commissioner HAUSSMAN to the Executive Directory.
Head-Quarters at Artzheim, 29 Prairial (June 9.)
The Austrian army, which so bravely broke the armistice, runs in full speed without firing a single gun. Our advance guard pushed on yesterday, as far as Durschheim, without being able to overtake them. Kayserlautern, Neustadt and Spies, are occupied by our troops. About a hundred prisoners were taken by our Generals, who were reconnoitring the enemy. These prisoners are joyful at this adventure, which shews to what a pitch of discouragement their army has arrived.

Extract of a letter from Beauieu to the Council of the Emperor.
"I demanded of you a General, and you sent me Argenteau. I know that he is a great seigneur, and that, by way of recompense for the judgments I have passed against him, he is to be made Field Marshal of the Empire. I forewarn you, that I have no more than 20,000 men, and the French have 60,000—that I shall fly to-morrow, the day after to-morrow, and every day, until I arrive into Siberia, if they pursue me: My age authorises me to speak the whole truth. In a word, make the utmost haste to conclude a peace, on any conditions whatever."
LONDON, June 17.
By the proceedings of the Council of five hundred, which we yesterday laid before the public, it is plain that France still is divided by parties. In overthrowing Robespierre, both Terrorists and Moderates united; the present government was then formed chiefly of the moderate Terrorists, who, at its institution were the predominating party. They were opposed both by the Moderates, and the most violent of the Terrorists, but they have been reconciled the former by gradually adopting their system, and have diminished the oppositions of the latter, by giving employments to all who would accept of them. The prudence and success with which the Directory has steered between these two parties; the skill it has shewn in gaining their friendship, or reducing to insignificance the dangers of their enmity, proves the wisdom and policy of the French Government, much more than the victories on the Rhine or in Italy.
We are sorry to observe the little reason there is to hope for a speedy reconciliation between two great personages. There is no doubt that the gentleman has acted with great impropriety towards his wife, and that the lady has behaved with some degree of peevishness towards her husband; but we are well assured their personal disputes might have been accommodated, had it not been for the jealousies and rivalship of the gentry of the household, who have made discord between man and wife for no other purpose but to extend their own influence.
It has been the custom to employ as leaders of armies, none but men who had grown grey in arms, and whose experience had been purchased by long service. The French, however, have adopted a different policy. Many of their most famous Generals had seen little service previously to their being placed at the head of their armies; and General Buonaparte affords an example of a young man of 27 surpassing the oldest Generals in vigour of operations; in intrepidity of attack; in celerity of pursuit; in military skill, science and experience.
Feathers have taken flight from the paraphernalia of our fashionable Belles. The head is now enclosed in a gold or silver net, or mullin turban, worked with silver, and adorned with artificial flowers.
June 20.
It appears that Prince Charles has sent a reinforcement to the Prince of Wirttemberg, with a view to enable him to check the farther progress of the enemy on the Rhine.
In Italy, as was before stated, Buonaparte crossed the Mincio on the 27th ult. and forced the Austrians to fall back, with the loss, as he asserts, of 2000 men; but we know this assertion to be false, as Col. Graham, in his letter to Lord Grenville, represents the number of Austrians killed and wounded as not exceeding 300 men. The Colonel also mentions a successful attack made upon the French by a detachment of Austrian and Neapolitan cavalry, which Buonaparte has thought proper to suppress, as well as the capture of one of his own Aids-de-Camp, and his loss of men, which must have been considerable.
It appears too, from both these statements, that Buonaparte has failed in his main attempt, which was, to cut off the retreat of the Austrians to the Tyrolese. This retreat has been secured, in spite of all his exertions; and General Beaulieu is now so situated, as to prevent the entrance of the French into Germany, and to receive reinforcements from the neighboring countries of Carniola and Carinthia.
Buonaparte's own account of his conduct in suppressing the attempt of the people to throw off the iron yoke of the French, is such as proves him to be a sanguinary Tyrant, seeking to enforce obedience by the influence of terror, and truly worthy to lead a horde of ferocious banditti. His massacre, in cold blood, of all the magistrates and civil officers of Pavia—his determination to reduce that beautiful city to ashes, if a single Frenchman had been slain in the laudable attempt to enslave the inhabitants; the conflagration of a whole village, because the peasants had taken up arms; and the slaughter of a hundred of them was not deemed an adequate punishment to satisfy the vengeance of this Republican leader; the oppressive and tyrannical laws imposed on the inhabitants of the Milanese;—all exhibit, in a strong point of view, the profligate cruelty and abominable despotism of a man, who has liberty and fraternity constantly in his mouth; and, at the same time demonstrates the real projects of the French government, whose ambitious spirit, in violation of all the pacific principles they have so loudly proclaimed, leads them to grasp at universal empire, and to settle their Republican throne, not in the hearts, but in the blood of vanquished nations.
BRUNSWICK, May 29.
Extract of a private letter.
The following is the tenor of the letters of convocation addressed by the king of Prussia, as duke of Magdeburgh, and of the duke of Brunswick, as co-director of the circle of Lower Saxony, to the different states destined to enjoy the advantages of the neutrality—
"We, By the Grace of God, Frederick William King of Prussia, Charles William Duke of Brunswick, &c.
"The apprehensions of a speedy opening of a new campaign with France, and the new dangers to which Germany will be exposed by the chance of a war that has already been so fatal to her, have determined us, the king, in consequence of our solicitude and patriotic attachment, and in consequence of the pacific relations which we maintain with France, to distribute as much as possible to our co-states of the North, the inestimable blessings of repose and security from the troubles and misfortunes of war; that is to say, as far as these States will on their part accord with our intentions which are of general utility. To this end negotiations have already been entered into with the French government relative to a new line of neutrality; and in order to be able with the more efficacy to assure that neutrality, and to afford protection and safety to the States comprised within it, we the king are ready to march a considerable army, and we the duke have also taken a resolution to reinforce that army with our troops, the electoral court of Brunswick Luenburg having also manifested the same intentions. These combined troops being therefore to protect the neutrality of the north of Germany, it is as just as it is absolutely indispensable, that they should be provided and provisioned by the States which shall enjoy this advantage, and that each, individually, should hasten in proportion to its means to procure them the necessary provisions. But this object requires, on account of the urgency of circumstances, the most speedy dispositions. The most proper means for attaining this end, is by the convocation of a common and extraordinary assembly of all the Upper States, of the Circles of Lower Saxony with the States of the Lower Rhine and of Westphalia, as well as of the other States that shall be comprised in the line of neutrality, in order that we may be able to deliberate upon this subject, and to regulate the distribution of the maintenance of the troops upon an equitable footing, proportioned to the faculties of each State; for on the speedy furnishing of the objects necessary for this maintenance, will alone depend the maintenance of the common safety of the North of Germany.
"Those, therefore, whose territory is comprised in the said line of neutrality, and which, consequently, will enjoy the benefit of this protection, being principally implicated in this case, we have, in our quality of Prince and Director of the Circle of Lower Saxony, addressed to them conjointly the present letter of convocation, in order to unite them to assemble, by their deputies, furnished with the necessary instructions, on the 20th of the month of June, in the town of Hildesheim. We have no doubt that they acknowledge, in its full extent, the urgency of the case, and of the actual conjunctions as well as the importance it is to procure to the North of Germany security and repose; and that in consequence they will adhere and contribute every thing that can attain the common end, sufficiently in time to avoid being surprised by danger.
"We, the King, shall depute to the common Assembly of the States, our intimate Counsellor de Dohn, directorial minister to the circle of the Lower Rhine and Westphalia, and Plenipotentiary to the Electoral Court of Cologne, furnished with necessary powers; and we entreat, very amicably, this Assembly to give from this time faith and confidence to all that he may propose on our part, upon the subject of the affairs in question.

PARIS, June 18.
The King of Spain has published a proclamation forbidding all tribunals, even the inquisition itself, from constraining the French in their religious worship. In the same proclamation he declares that he will acknowledge as Frenchmen only those who shall wear the tri-coloured cockade. This order is dated the 1st of May. The best informed men are of opinion that war
is upon the point of being declared betwixt Spain and England.
The King of Naples has two envoys here, charged to treat for peace with the Directory.
The Duke of Parma has two plenipotentiaries here on the same business.
Buonaparte has already sent seven millions to Genoa; ten millions more are yet to arrive. He has sent more than two millions to the army of the Rhine; that of Italy costs nothing to the Republic. Fatigued, after so many victories, which have been like so many rapid marches, he is now taking a little breath. We believe, however, he will not be long before he resumes his career.
Letters from Leghorn speak of the Corsican insurgents as having seized upon Bastia, and taken the viceroy Elliott. This news, however, wants confirmation.

IN pursuance of an act of Congress, passed on the 18th day of May, 1796, entitled "An act providing for the sale of the lands of the United States, in the Territory north west of the river Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river," that the sections or lots of land described in the annexed schedule, lying in the seven ranges of townships, which were surveyed in pursuance of an ordinance of Congress, passed on the twentieth day of May, in the year one thousand seven hundred, and eighty-five, will be exposed for sale at Public vendue, in the town of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, on the twenty-fourth day of October next, and thenceforward, from day to day, until the whole shall be sold, unless the said lots shall be sooner sold, in the manner, and on the terms and conditions herein after mentioned, to wit: 1st. The said sections or lots shall be sold under the direction of the Governor or Secretary of the Western Territory, and such person as the President of the United States may specially appoint for that purpose. 2d. The said sections or lots shall be sold to the highest bidder, but no sale can be made for less than two dollars per acre of the quantity of land contained in such lot or section. 3d. The highest bidder as before mentioned, must deposit at the time of sale, one twentieth part of the purchase money, in the hands of such person as the President of the United States shall appoint to attend the sales for that purpose, which will be forfeited, if a moiety of the sum bid, including the said twentieth part, shall not be paid within thirty days from the time of sale. 4th. Upon payment of a moiety of the purchase money in the manner before mentioned, the purchaser will be entitled to one year's credit for the remaining moiety; and shall receive from the Governor or Secretary of the Western Territory, and the person who shall be appointed by the President of the United States, to direct the sales, a certificate describing the lot or section purchased, and declaring the sum paid on account, the balance remaining due, the time when such balance becomes payable, and that the whole land therein mentioned, will be forfeited, if the
said balance is not then paid; but if the said balance shall be duly discharged, by paying the same to the Treasurer of the United States, the purchaser or his assignee or other legal representative, shall be entitled to a patent for the said lands, on his producing to the Secretary of State a receipt for such balance endorsed upon the certificate. But if any purchaser shall make payment of the whole of the purchase money, at the time when the payment of the first moiety is directed to be made, he will be entitled to a deduction of ten per centum on the part for which a credit is authorized to be given; and his patent shall be immediately issued. Given under my hand at Philadelphia, the day and year above mentioned. OLIVER WOLCOTT, Secretary of the Treasury
