War-Office of the United States,
January the 18, 1798.
WHEREAS frauds have been practiced, in obtaining Warrants for Bounties Lands, due to the Officers and Soldiers of the late Continental Army, by the production of forged instruments. To check in future such impostures, it has been thought advisable; that all persons, having claims for bounty lands, whether in their own right, as legal representative, or by virtue of any instrument or deed of transfer, be required to forward their respective claims to the War Office, on or before the first day of January 1799 in order that such claims may be duly examined, adjusted and determined upon.
To substantiate such claims, a strict observance of the rules heretofore issued from the War Office will be indispensable; and in addition to what is required by the said rules, the certificate of the acknowledgment of a Deed or Power of Attorney, must also set forth the place of residence and occupation of the claimant or person making such acknowledgment; and when the proof of personal knowledge is by a witness or witnesses, their place or places of residence must be set forth in like manner.

Is a medicine unequalled by any other in the world, CERTIFICATE. "I hereby certify, that I have been cured of a most severe Cough, Cold, and severe pain in my breast, by taking only a few doses of Dr. Church's Cough Drops. CHARLES BEVANS, Sail Maker, Spruce Street wharf, Philadelphia. Jan. 7. d6w
From a London Paper, To Dr. CHURCH.
Having been recently restored from the brink of the grave, by your invaluable medicine, I think it my duty to make this public acknowledgment of the same, for the benefit of others afflicted with a similar complaint. I had been afflicted with a most dreadful asthma for about twenty-three years. I never for years got any rest, my cough was so troublesome in the night; and used to discharge an almost incredible quantity of glutinous matter from my lungs; and my breath was so exceedingly short that I could not walk across my room. Providentially hearing of your Cough Drops, I took them; and, through taking them alone, I am now, blessed be God! restored to perfect health. My case is well known to the members of the Ebenezer Chapel, in Lincoln's-Inn-Field, of which I am also a member; and any of them will gladly testify any inquiry concerning the truth of what I say. I am, Sir, your grateful servant, NATHANIEL LANGWORTHY, No. 8, Smith's-court, Great Windmill-street, Hay-market. Witness, N. LANGWORTHY, jun. No. 40, Pultney-street, Golden-square. CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS Are prepared and sold (only) by the inventor and sole proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his Medicine Store, No. 1 South Third-street, near the Market, Philadelphia; and by appointment, at New-York, by Messrs.

Foreign Intelligence,
LONDON, November 6.
Friday night government, we are told, sent off a messenger to recall Mr. Wickham from Switzerland. Another messenger was sent to Sir Morzen Eden, at Vienna. It is suggested that this minister is also recalled.
Britain has left the co-operation of Austria; but in the accession of territory to the emperor, she has gained the ports of the Adriatic, which, besides affording shelter to our marine, again opens to our manufacturers an important source of commerce.
FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
PARIS, October 30.
We are informed that the directory have given orders to assemble an army of 30,000 men to act against Portugal; and that the general is already appointed. In the treaty published yesterday it is observable, that nothing is said about the navigation of the Rhine. The concessions to be made upon this subject will form, necessarily, the object of the Congress at Rastadt. It is also clear, that the French will make some exertions in that quarter, and that orders have already been given to deliver up Mentz and Ehrenbreitstein to the French.
The emperor will guarantee his concessions at the Congress. The Germanic body will consent to it—England, Prussia, and perhaps Russia will regret it, and will intrigue to renew the war. The death of the king of Prussia will perhaps disturb the tranquillity which it is hoped this treaty would establish; but it is certain, that the official journals announce that all ancient Gaul will be united to France.
The part of Belgium which is ceded to us is bounded by Dutch Brabant.
There will be no Cisrhenane republic; but the limits of our republic are the left bank of the Rhine, and the adjacent country to Newwied, comprising Mentz and Coblenz, which will belong to us. This line will go from Newwied to Venloo, and will comprehend Juliers.
The emperor evacuates Ingolstadt, Mannheim, Ulm, and the Fort of Ehrenbreitstein. Italy will form one republic. The Prince of Orange and the duke of Modena will have an indemnity in the Brisgau, and in the Ecclesiastical Electorate.
Friesthal, which is ceded by the emperor, will be given to the Swiss Cantons. Nothing is said about Hanover or Bavaria.
October 31.
The directory has already appointed plenipotentiaries, who are to repair to the congress at Rastadt, for a conclusion of a peace with the States of the empire. They are the citizens Treilhard and Bonnier (d'Aria), the same who were sent to Lille in the latter days of the negotiation with Lord Malmesbury.
Although the order of the directory, which interrupts all communication with the court of Portugal enacts, that his minister the Chevalier d'Arceus shall leave the French territories without delay, it is probable, that owing to the personal respect entertained for this minister, a proper time will be allowed for his departure.
November 1.
It is said that general Buonaparte is already on his road to Paris.
The late news from Corsica brings intelligence of the entire dispersion of a troop of rebels which had formed in that island.
A letter from the minister of police, enjoins the constituted authorities to treat the Belgic emigrants in the same manner as the French emigrants.
Yesterday citizen Berthier and Monge had a solemn audience with the directory. The former, in his speech, gave an energetic recital of the victories obtained by the French armies in Italy. The latter compared the English monarchy to that of Philip of Macedon, who, by corrupt means, had subverted the Greek republics. The English government and the French republic, he inferred, could not exist together. He concluded his speech with the following suggestions with respect to Great Britain: "Destroy a government which has corrupted the morals of the whole world, but preserve a nation to which Europe is indebted in a great degree for its enlightenment. Do not oppress a country which has given a Newton to the universe; preserve a nation highly respectable for its patriotism, and worthy of a better government; raise them to the dignity of a people—complete that liberty of which they are so fond, and restore them to their natural virtues—Let the English people exist with glory. Let them be the rivals of the French nation, and let them both eagerly concur in spreading new lights, and bringing the human mind to perfection—Let there be no other rivalry between them—but who shall most contribute to the happiness of the world!"
November 9.
LATEST FRENCH PAPERS.
This morning we received by express the Paris journals to the 6th inst. inclusive. It appears that Buonaparte does not immediately return to Paris, and take upon him the command of the army of England. The peace of Germany is first to be settled, for which purpose he goes commissioner to Rastadt, where the congress is to be held. France and the Emperor having already settled their own business, the other arrangements can take no very long time to adjust; especially as the combined force of these two enemies is to be employed to enforce the stipulations already agreed on between them, in the private articles annexed to the late treaty.
We need offer no speculation of our own on this point, as our readers will find sufficient materials among the following extracts from which to draw their own inferences. In fact, the fate of the petty states may be considered as already determined, and embraced by the private articles settled between the emperor and the directory; and the meeting of the congress, as a ceremonial to give diplomatic form to the arrangement.
PARIS, November 2.
The Redacteur contains extracts from several letters written by Mallet du Pan, to the first minister of the king of Sardinia, on the situation of France, and found among the papers of the Senate of Venice, for the principal members of which, the noble Quirini caused copies to be made. In making these extracts, the Redacteur has taken particular care to cite the passages which have appeared best calculated to demonstrate the existence, and to explain the plans and particular character of the authors, of the royalist conspiracy, which the wisdom and prudence of the government have discovered.
The government is employed in organizing the theatres; the number of which is to be limited. Encouragement is to be bestowed on the arts; the school of declamation is to be revived; and it appears to be the strenuous determination of the government to republish the public mind. A spirited message is to be sent to the council of five hundred on this head.
November 3.
In the archives of the most excellent state inquisitors, in the Venetian council of ten, several papers of the description of the correspondence of Mallet du Pan have been found. These papers will, when published, bring to light the names of many individuals who did not expect to be thus exposed to public view; and the conspiracy of 18 Fructidor will be thus more clearly elucidated. The destiny of the republic will have it, that all the facts relative to that conspiracy shall be revealed. Extracts will shortly be laid before the public.
In consequence of the refusal of count Metternich, the Emperor has appointed Baron Duvaren, one of the noblemen who signed the treaty of Udina, to attend in his name at the congress of Rastadt.
November 4.
We are assured that general Buonaparte is to be President of the legation which is to be sent to the congress of Rastadt. The two other plenipotentiaries are citizens Treilhard and Bonnier. Citizen Rozentel is to be secretary of the legation.
The emperor has just appointed count Saurin minister of finances and President of the public chamber.
The day before yesterday a member of the French legation at Berlin, citizen Duden, arrived here. It is said that his journey relates merely to his own private affairs: we are, however, of a contrary opinion: we know through other channels that on the 21st of October the king of Prussia was still living, but with scarcely any hope of recovery. The eyes of all Europe are already fixed on his successor, who is known to be strongly disposed to war; and of this disposition more than one court is ready to take advantage. There is reason to think that the court of Peterburgh has a powerful influence over the cabinet of Berlin; and we besides know that the latter is intimately connected with another great power: it is presumed that the new Prussian monarch will, on his accession to the throne have several interests to combine, more than one difficulty to overcome; and, if his character be as decided as is said, more than one danger to brave.
The editor of the Sentinelle has the following strong passage on the subject of the treaty with the Emperor:—"There is no doubt but that the Emperor aims at enslaving us. He wishes to gain time; and we will venture to hazard what may perhaps be considered as a political blasphemy—No trust ought to be reposed in the treaties which kings make with republics; and their envoys can be no other than traitors and hypocrites. It requires sincerity and common sense only to agree to this truth."
The secret articles of the treaty concluded with the Emperor are already begun to be executed.—The Austrians have evacuated Mentz, which we are preparing to take possession of.
November 5.
The glorious peace which our victories have obtained, has deprived the enemies of the country even of the hope of reducing it to subjection. Frenchmen, do not forget, that without the cannon of the 18th Fructidor, you never would have heard the cannon of the 5th Brumaire, and that the king of Blankenbourg, invited to return by the traitors who had shamefully devoted themselves to his cause, without that event, would now have exercised the most cruel vengeance from the throne of his ancestors. Let every set of men combine to celebrate this glorious event. Let the vile calumniators who lately accused the directory with desiring the continuance of the war, be confounded. Let our victorious army—let their immortal chief receive the homage which they deserve—It remains for us, indeed, to triumph over the monstrous government of England and the shameful conduct of Portugal. At this moment the delenda est Carthago flies from mouth to mouth and let all our warriors march to victory, under the most invincible of generals. The celebrated expedition attempted by a hero, whose loss we shall long continue to weep, has proved to haughty Albion that even upon the soil where London stands, we can go and plant the French standard. Let the king of England, so long maddened by a minister coolly inhuman, tremble to see Buonaparte arrive triumphant on the banks of the Thames. Then all hope of salvation for him is lost. The republicans pitied more than they hated the Emperor; but if not king George himself, at least his prime minister, his abominable council are the object of national hatred, and if they do not appease its fury, they must be devoured by it.— Redacteur.
November 6.
One of the principal secret articles of the treaty of peace concluded with the emperor bears, that we shall not abandon Venice and the other countries ceded to the emperor till he shall have caused Mentz and the other places situated on the left bank of the Rhine to be evacuated, which are henceforth to form the boundary of the French republic. Some journalists exclaim against this article, saying, that the emperor has no right to cede to us what does not belong to him. It is not considered, however, that there may be an alliance between the emperor and the French republic guaranteeing this cession, in such a manner, that if any of the electors of the circle of the empire should oppose it, the combined forces of the emperor and France would soon bring these petty princes to reason.
With regard to those who say, that a more advantageous treaty might have been made, we should recollect that it is so wrong to have the appearance of repeating what has been done. A power is to be attached to us, it is by what we do, than what we hope we shall do.
In France the error which so long prevailed that it was necessary to weaken the English power by attacking it in India or America, is now exploded. It is in the channel that we shall succeed in destroying the British marine. Pleasure, who, to the experience of age and practice, unites courage, talents, and the love of his country, is so well aware of this truth, that he is repairing with activity and without noise, all the means of putting it in practice. Meanwhile he spreads devastation thro' the commerce of England, by the course which he encourages with all his might. He has adopted the only maritime system which is proper for France, and
which intrigue has hitherto been the means of rejecting.
A telegraph, different from that of Chappe, is proposed to the government as calculated to be of great utility along the coasts in the war with England. It has been discovered by citizens Breguet and Relieurcourt.
A transport arrived at Cowes, under the command of Lieut. Hibbs, from St. Domingo, but left from Guernsey, has landed about fifteen officers belonging to the Prince of Wales and Prince de Roban's foreign hussars. Of these two regiments, which went out 1780 strong to the West-Indies about eighteen months ago, the small number of 160 only, including officers, has escaped the malignity of the yellow fever, not a single man having been shot.
From an English Paper.
Oct. 17.
The ENDEMIAL DISEASES OF EUROPE.
Discovered by feeling the pulse of the Times.
FRANCE.
In a Phrensy Fever , which it is apprehended will require more bleeding, and purging than ever: notwithstanding the has undergone those operations already, in a violent degree.
SPAIN.
Labouring under a most oppressive fit of Indigestion ; from having been compelled to swallow an Olive Branch, which sticks in her stomach so, that she can neither get it up nor down.
PORTUGAL.
Afflicted in a similar manner, with strong symptoms of a Sunfish besides, and no Physician to advise with but an old woman, who is very subject to fits of Non Compos , of which there cannot be a greater proof than her tilting herself Most Faithful , while she makes no scruple to break faith with her very best friends.
GERMANY.
A little touched in the wind with hard pushing, which the French faculty pronounce to be an Albina , and that another brush with Buonaparte, will entirely knock her up—Be that as it may—the race is not to the swift—and whether she gives in for want of strength, and her rider have proved herself bottom.
HOLLAND.
In a Galloping Consumption ; occasioned, by not wearing the breeches in so profuse a degree as usual; being obliged to supply the Sans Culottes, by which poor Mynheer has got the pip, and it has flown from his potteries to the nobler parts. The disorder gains ground daily, and the patient who was remarkable for being fat as a hog, is now reduced to a mere shadow. The late course of medicine administered by admiral Duncan has found too powerful, the boluses have caused so great an evacuation ; that it will prove a death stroke .
SWITZERLAND.
In a fit of the bear burn , from some four ingredients which were lately served up in her mess, to the praise and glory of French Cookery; but a little salt of wormwood, has done much towards neutralizing the said—and the paroxism is not likely to be of any longer duration.
SARDINIA.
Sadly troubled with ruptures , which it is said, arose from a violent strain, in wrestling with a French raw-head and bloody bones , who only peeped into Piedmont, crying out fee, faw, fum , and like Cæsar with his veni vidi vici , bore down every thing before him.
NAPLES.
Full of morbid humours , which are increasing to an alarming degree, and it is feared that nothing less than a political plague will shortly be the consequence of those pestilential symptoms.
TURKEY.
Quite paralytic ; from the Divan having been gorged with an unusual quantity of opium pills, gilded with the aurum Gallicanum—which, as for some time past they had been subject to political qualms, they were advised by some quacks to swallow, as neutral; being told, that nothing tended more efficaciously to allay fermentations. The diagnostics are highly unfavourable, and unless the patient shakes off the disease in a very short time, the must inevitably sink under it.
VENICE.
Rotting , inch by inch, from an infection communicated by French embraces, commonly called the fraternal hug. The distemper gains ground apace, and nothing but a political-salvation can save the whole state from falling into one universal mass of corruption.
PRUSSIA.
Still far worse off than the Spouse of the Adriatic, being at once most grievously smitten, both with the scourge , and the King's Evil : the former disease having pervaded the whole Prussian army, of which many scourge proofs are extant, and for which they will cut a most scourge figure in the eyes of all Europe. And, as for the latter, there never was known a nation, under Heaven, in which the King's Evil has proved a scourge so universal; nor a King, who, outwardly and inwardly has so manifested Evil , in the vilest sense of the word. In short, every thing here is in a state incurable, and may Heaven in mercy to mankind right suddenly remove the Evil causes , that those Evil effects may shortly be no more.
THE POPE.
Struggling most totteringly against the Falling Sickness , but all in vain. We will not be so rude as to call the Whore of Babylon but the poor old lady, call her by what name you please, is, literally, upon her last legs, and the staggering blows she has lately had, from her own unnatural Sons, will, certainly, lay her as flat as a flounder: And then farewell to future Bulls, Indulgences, Dispensations, Benedictions, Anathemas, and the Holy Commodities of the Holy See, when the Holy Sons of the Church shall exclaim with Holy sorrow, that the Title of his Holiness is gone forever.
RUSSIA.
In a Lebargy —Often dreaming of doing what, waking was never thought on. Dead in effect to the calls of humanity, and unfeelingly deaf to the groans of mankind! Arouse
supine, unanimated part.
Nor become like FREDERICK, the object of detestation. "Shake off this idle sleep, death's counterfeit, and look on death itself." See the carnage which Frenchmen have spread over Europe; spurn this inglorious somnolency, awake in time to redeem thy dying fame, and do the duty of a man to Empire-born.
DENMARK and SWEDEN.
Both seized with the Cramps ; and rendered incapable of stirring hand or foot. Poor crippled objects, how contemptible in the eyes of the active and the brave. War to them even in the belt of causes, was gall and vinegar; a neutralizing draught went down quite sweet, and they drank it off to the very dregs. How little did they think when imbibing the potion, that, like Sorcerer Comus's vile Beverage, it would degrade the drinkers to a rank inferior to the Pigmies. Yet Sic mutamini Pecuniarum! And the metamorphoses of those degenerate Hyberboreans affords food for laughter to the true born sons of
OLD ENGLAND.
Who, while combating a Cholera Flux , and a Sweating sickness by which she has been dwindled down to a Lenten likeness of her former self, yet still preserves her Stamina, found, firm and uncorroded: And by virtue of a constitution, which neither the power of France can overturn, nor the politics of France can undermine, holds her head up secure of her recovery, while smiling hope anticipates the hour, when in her convalescent state, she shall restore the healing balm of peace to a distempered and distracted world.
BRUSH.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY—JANUARY 15.
The bill from the Senate, to compensate their door-keeper and his assistant, was read the third time and passed.
The Speaker laid before the house a communication from the Treasury Department, including the accounts of the Treasurer of the Receipts and expenditures of the United States, for the quarter ending on the 30th December last, which were ordered to be printed.
Mr. Dwight Foster made an unfavourable report on the petition of Stephen Sayre, which was ordered to lie upon the table.
Mr. Tillinghast, agreeable to the notice he gave on Friday last, proposed a resolution for the adoption of the house to the following effect:
"Resolved, that a committee be appointed to bring in a bill for the purpose of repealing the act of Congress past the last session, laying a duty on Ramped vellum, parchment and paper."
Mr. J. Williams wished this resolution might be so altered as to go to the committee of Ways and Means, who having the subject of Revenue generally under consideration, were, of course, the best judges as to the propriety of repealing the act in question. But before the resolution was referred, he wished to amend it by adding, also an act laying an additional duty on Salt imported into the United States." His reason for wishing the resolution to be thus amended was, that when the Stamp act had been agreed to, a proposition (which had before been rejected) was brought forward, towards the close of the session, when many of the members were gone home, for laying an additional duty on salt which it was said was necessary to stand against the stamp tax which would fall principally upon the commercial and monied part of our citizens. If therefore, a repeal of the Stamp act which chiefly affected those interests was to come under consideration, he wished the salt tax, which principally affected the Agricultural interest, also to be considered, and that both should be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means together, that they might report upon the whole subject at the same time.
The Speaker declared the motion for a reference to be first in order.
Mr. Harper hoped the resolution would not be agreed to, as he held a report in his hand on the petition from Virginia, praying for a repeal of the Stamp act, which of course involved the subject of this resolution.
Mr. Rutledge trusted the resolution would not be agreed to. He believed it was of more importance than it seemed to be considered by the house; as it did not propose to appoint a committee to enquire into the expediency of repealing the law in question, but for the special purpose of reporting a bill for the repeal of the law. Had the former mode been adopted, he should not have objected to it.
The Speaker observed that the motion was to refer the resolution to the committee of ways and means, who would of course report upon the expediency of the measure proposed.
Mr. Dent proposed to postpone the further consideration of the resolution until tomorrow, when it could be referred to the same committee of the whole to whom were referred the report which the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means had said he was prepared to make on this subject, and then both applications would come under consideration at the same time.
After some little consideration on the subject, which went chiefly to shew that as the petition from Virginia was to the same purpose with this resolution, the report of the committee of Ways and means upon it must be the same which would be made upon this resolution if referred to them—This motion was carried.
A message was received from the President of the United States, informing the house he had approved and signed an act for the relief of the representatives of William Carmichael; an act authorizing the payment of certain sums of money to the daughters of the late Count de Grafton; an act for the relief of Norton and Velez; and an act for making certain partial ap-

appropriations for the services of the year 1798. Mr. Harper, from the committee of ways and means, made therefor (which had been alluded to) on the petition of certain free-holders of Somerset, Sussex and Prince George, in Virginia, praying for a repeal of the Stamp Act. The report stated, that in the opinion of the committee of ways and means, it would be inexpedient to repeal the said act, and that therefore the petitioners have leave to withdraw their petition. This report was referred to a committee of the whole, and made the order for Monday next.
Mr. Harper, from the same committee, to whom was referred the estimates necessary for the service of the year 1798, reported a bill providing for the expenses of the Civil Department of government for the year 1798, which was twice read, and referred to a committee of the whole for Wednesday.
Mr. H. also reported, from the same committee, a bill providing for the means of intercourse between the United States and foreign nations, which was committed for Thursday.
Mr. Livingston called up for consideration and decision, the resolution which he laid upon the table a few days ago, for the appointment of a committee of enquiry into the expenditure of the money which had been appropriated for the naval service. The House agreed to take up this business.
Mr. Harper said, he believed that the appointment of such a committee was very unusual, without having some ground stated to the house for the proceeding. A vote of this kind, he observed, would imply a censure upon the conduct of our public officers, which certainly ought not to be done hastily, or without first having, at least some ground of suspicion laid before them upon which to act. The house had not yet received the statements which had been called for relative to this business; they were directed to be laid before the house the last week in January, and might therefore, soon be expected. [Several gentlemen said it was the first, and not the last week in January, in which the accounts had been ordered to be laid before the house.] Mr. H. said the delay, he supposed, had been occasioned by the officers having been obliged to remove from the city, during the fever. He had, however, been informed that these statements would be ready in a few days. And would it not be extraordinary, if, before they received these statements, they were to appoint a committee of enquiry? He thought it would. He believed the officers of this department of government were very desirous of the enquiry taking place; but this was not a sufficient reason for the house to proceed in the business without having first some ground to suppose the money had been misapplied, and this he believed could not be ascertained until the expected statements were before the house. When these were looked into, it was possible the house might be satisfied with respect to the expenditures of the money, and it would, therefore, be improper to appoint a Committee to enquire into a business, which might so shortly appear satisfactory. If, on the other hand, these accounts should not be satisfactory, he would readily concur in the appointment of a committee of Enquiry.
Mr. J. Williams said, the gentleman from S. Carolina ought to recollect that the enquiry was produced by a farther appropriation being called for. It might be best to defer the enquiry, until the accounts which had been called for were laid before the house; and he should have been satisfied with the business taking that course, if a further appropriation had not been called for in the mean time. But when they were called upon to appropriate a farther sum of money for any object, it was natural to enquire what was become of that already voted; and the only way of doing this was to appoint a committee who would look into all the different statements which had from time to time, been laid before the house, and those which might shortly be communicated, and state their opinion thereon to the house. He thought those gentlemen who were most friendly to the frigates ought not to oppose the appointment of this committee; because if it should appear that the money had been justly expended, there would be little objection to a farther appropriation.

The following is handed us by a correspondent. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to a respectable merchant in this city, received by the Diano, at Boston, and dated, London, Nov. 8, 1797.
"We have no certain accounts of the progress of your commissioners; but it is reported, that they have been told, till your existing treaty with France is fulfilled, it is unnecessary to enter on any discussion as to a new one. This is not improbable—the Emperor has been forced to a peace, and what direction the irresistible force of the republic may next take, remains to be seen. Happy would it have been for your commerce and your country, had Mr. Jay's treaty never existed—that is the sole cause of your present treatment by the directory."

PHILADELPHIA,
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16.
No recent dispatches from our commissioners in France, have been received by Government.
The southern mail had not arrived when this paper went to press.
The calumny practised of late years by certain exclusive republicans in assuming pecuniary titles at election, is so false in artifice, and has been so common to the demagogues of all ages, that "the man of the people," "the savior of the people," and "the friend of the public," instead of binding our eyes to the baseness and treachery of the correspondent of Mazzei, Gius Gugerbread and citizen Polyphemus, only renew the remembrance of the virtuous Gracchi, the Cæsars, Catilines, and other patriots of ancient times.
The Jacobin faction (we have it from their own mouths) are the true patriots of America, the guardians of the public rights, and the protectors of their liberties against the encroachments of their own government: So much for words. Now for their actions—the Citizen Friend of Mazzei acquaints the enemy that the government and people are at odds, the application could not escape them;—a house divided against itself cannot stand." Hence all the intrigues upon our commerce; hence all those intrigues tending to the subversion of our government, and the deep-laid scheme for rewarding the patriot with the Presidency of the country, colonized to the enemy by his patriotic labors. Citizen Monroe (the only man in America fit for the office of Ambassador to France) (see his credentials) fairly attempts, as an able writer has shown, to deliver us, bound hand and foot, into the power of France. Citizen Nicholas calls himself the friend of the public. His friendship to that public he shows, by zealous labors to prostrate their wills and attempts to defend themselves against certain others of his friends, who manifested an overweening predilection for their goods, lands, and chattels.
Such is the difference between profession and practice ; and such is the figure those must ever make, who seek to reconcile the service of God and Mammon.
Viscount Duncan has taken his seat in the House of Peers. The House of Lords and Commons passed a vote of thanks to him. The Emperor of Russia, has invested him with the insignia of the order of Alexander.
De Winter is very politely treated; both himself and the other captured officers receive from the British government the same pay as British admirals, during their residence in England: He is not to be exchanged: He will reside in the interior of the country.
Rear admiral Story, it is said, is arrested at the Hague.
General Maitland is appointed to command the British forces at St. Domingo. General Simcoe succeeds Prescott, as governor general of the British settlements in America.
Earl Fitzwilliam, in the British House of Lords, endeavored to amend the late address to the King's speech; but being unsuccessful, has entered a solemn protest against it.
Bonaparte expresses himself dissatisfied with the indefinite exile from France of the ex-devant Noblesse.
The idea of a Gis Rhenan Republic , is said to be abandoned; as the territory is ceded to the French by the treaties of Ulma.

The Dutch government has published a very minute account of the defeat of their fleet, which consists of the report of the committee of marine and a letter from rear admiral Story. It states, the English fleet consisted of 20 sail of the line, including six 3's; that 17 of the Dutch ships had reached their ports since the action: That the defeat was simply owing to the loose manner of the Dutch ships forming the line, and the ingenious manner in which admiral Duncan made the attack. That rear admiral Blois had lost his arm, as did also capt. Mins: That an English 34 had struck to a Dutch 24; but re-hoisted her colours on another ship of the line coming up to her assistance; but the Dutchman persevering in her fire, she was sunk.
King George, embarked in the Royal Yacht, in order to proceed to the Nore, to review Admiral Duncan's fleet, and the Dutch prizes; but the next day after sailing a violent storm obliged him to put back.
Died, in London, 9th Nov. the veteran Dutch Admiral Reynitzes, in the 68th year of his age. He received a slight wound in the bottom of his belly in the late engagement, but it is not supposed that his health was in the slightest degree affected by that accident. He died of an apoplectic complaint, to which he had long been subject, and under which he laboured with particular severity during the last fortnight of his life. The state of his health on his embarking on board the fleet in the Texel was such, that it was deemed necessary to appoint admiral Munier to assist him in the active department of his office.
LEGISLATURE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
On the 8th instant, petitions were presented from Upper Paxton, in Dauphin County, praying for a change of place for the holding of their elections, and from citizens of Philadelphia, praying for an efficient law against usury. A report was made on the Health Laws; on the petition of landholders on Guoner's Creek; on the petition of Benjamin Ellicott, which was favorable; on the petition from Lycoming and Luzerne, relative to an alteration of the lines of the two counties: the report contemplates a change in the boundaries; and shall of charges in trying the election of Mr. Boileau, of 120 dollars, 55 1/2 cents, was reported. A letter from Samuel Bryan, containing a statement of the finances of the Commonwealth for the last year, and one from Peter Baynton, Treasurer of the State, including a statement of his accounts and praying to be released, were read. A bill was reported for the relief of David Jones, and the bill supplementary to the act extending the powers of justices of the peace, and that for appointing a trustee in the county of Mifflin, were agreed to.
On the 6th instant, eight petitions were presented from Chester and Delaware counties, praying that the road from Fox's tavern to West Chester may be confirmed. Reports were made in favor of the petition of the Trustees of Lower Dublin Academy; of the petition of Upper Paxton Township; and of the petition from Upper Merion Township. Peter Baynton was re-elected Treasurer. The report of the Committee on unfinished business was taken up, and the several subjects therein contained, referred to different committees. The House proceeded further in the consideration of the resolution to appoint a committee on the subject of continuing the law making further continuation to the Judges, but no question was taken.
