LONDON, June 7-23.
Alliteration. —A company of comedians, giving a short history of the tragedy of Louis XVI. and speaking of that monarch, describe him as having fallen "a savage sacrifice to the sanguinary decrees of a set of Democratic regicides." This is very little inferior to that celebrated theatrical scholium on a piece of Roman History, which invited the ladies and gentlemen of a village in Cornwall, to "feast their eyes and ears with a grand performance, which would exhibit the most diabolical and damnable designs, which, directed by dauntless dexterity, deluged with destruction the devoted domains of a desperate dictator."
LAW REPORT.
BUCHAN v. SWAINSON.
This was an action brought by Dr. Buchanan to recover damages against Mr. Swainson, Proprietor of Veno's Vegetable Syrup.
Mr. Erskine, Counsel for the Plaintiff, stated that his Client having, in a book which he published, made some unfavourable observations upon the vegetable syrup, Mr. Swainson inserted an advertisement in a morning paper, reflecting very severely upon Dr. Buchanan. Mr. Erskine said, he was not instructed by his client to make any attack upon Mr. Swainson, or to decry the virtues of his medicine; but he conceived that Dr. B. had a right, in a fair disquisition on a medical subject, to give an opinion upon that, or any other medicine.
He then called a witness to prove the publication of the advertisement by the defendant.
After which, Mr. Mingay made a very ingenious speech for the defendant.—He contended that Dr. Buchanan had no right to complain of this assault upon his character, because it appeared that he had given the first blow; he began the attack by abusing the defendant's medicine, the property of which he had purchased at a great expence, and consequently was extremely anxious to protect it. Mr. Mingay said, he had a number of witnesses in his brief, who, from experience, could prove the efficacy of this syrup in a certain case; but he thought it would not be quite proper to call them.
Lord Kenyon made several observations upon the case—said that he belied many of these medicines were efficacious, but might be productive of great mischief, by being taken without proper advice.
The Jury, which was a special one, withdrew for a quarter of an hour; after which they brought in a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 100l.
[The following, tho' not of a very recent date, discloses some interesting particulars.]
FRANCKFORT, June 5.
I returned yesterday from Baumholder, which was then the head-quarters of the Imperial and Royal army. I have seen a good deal, but have heard more; in the course of this letter I hope to be able to prove both these assertions.
The troops in general appeared animated with the most sanguine expectation of success; they longed for an engagement, and promised to rout the enemy, wherever they should find them. The armistice has done wonders for the allied army; the men look well; and being refreshed, and much better clothed than usual, their appearance is considerably in favour of the cause for which they are so eager to act. It is greatly to be lamented, however, that the Austrian Officers are tired of the war; and that idea has, in too frequent instances, suppressed every sentiment of loyalty and of rational patriotism. This may appear a paradox to those who are accustomed to hear the Austrian officers spoken of with enthusiastic commendation; but their disaffection is as plain a matter of fact, as it is a real subject of regret. The soldiers know and speak of it; but they are resolved to do their duty, in defiance of the bad example which too many of their superiors think proper to give them. There are, of course, several honourable exceptions.
Last Sunday, the 29th ult. the whole French line fired a grand feu de joie , as an act of thanksgiving for their unparallelled success in Italy. General Jourdan had previously informed his Royal Highness the Archduke of his intentions, lest any alarm should be caused, by the firing, in the Allied army.
The 31st, at three quarters after twelve, the French partially attacked the out-posts, and took a few prisoners of Latour's dragoons. They attempted to make themselves masters of Kirn, which during the cessation of hostilities was considered, on both sides, as a neutral village; but they were defeated by M. General Schellenberg, after a smart contest. The Saxons, in that affair, as in all others, behaved well, and took about 50 prisoners.
It was remarked, rather judiciously, as being singular, that the Archduke, who had put an end to the armistice, should have allowed his outposts to be attacked, as it was pretty generally expected that the Allies would have commenced the hostilities, their previous conduct appearing to have been an earnest of such intentions.
The Archduke, who had advanced very far, thought fit to retire to Meissenheim, where head-quarters are to be this evening; this falling off excites no small degree of astonishment; as the allies retreat, the French march on; and it is extremely probable that General Jourdan will have his head-quarters to-day at Baumholder. It was the opinion of the Allied Generals that the enemy would have immediately crossed the Moselle at the commencement of hostilities; but they reckoned without their host.
The 1st of June the Prince of Wurtemberg was attacked, and forced by the French to pass the Sieg with some loss; the day following, however, the Prince had the advantage, drove the enemy, and took his former position. The Republicans are not in force at Deux-Ponts but their Camp near Schweigen is very formidable.
The affairs in Italy continue to wear a cloudy aspect; the enemy on the 30th ult. had not entered the Pope's dominions; but, at several points, they had marched into the Venetian territory, which in fraction of treaty initiated, beyond expression, the
Senate and the people. The French had reached as far as Brescia, thirty-eight leagues from the capital of the Republic. The 28th, General Beauhieu was within eight leagues of Mantua, which has plenty of provisions, and has 800 oxen within its walls. The Tyrolians are all volunteering in defence of whatever they hold most dear and sacred; in proportion as they are equipped they join the army. It seems to be the intention of the French to march to Innsbruck and Munich; but there is a moral certainty that they will be too vigorously opposed, to be able to effect their all destroying purpose. The Tyrolians are excellent soldiers, and go to battle with more pleasure than several other nations proceed to a feast.
Count Metternich is on his way to the Court of London, on matters of the highest moment; merchants here, of the first respectability, go so far as to assert that they have certain proofs that his mission has a pacificatory tendency; and what goes still more to sanction their belief is, that Head-Quarters are expected to be at Mentz, to-morrow evening. A Courier is arrived from Vienna, with orders to the Archduke to hold himself on the defensive! You will of course ask why his Royal Highness interrupted the armistice?—My answer is Nescio. Why, having put an end to the armistice, did the French show themselves so eager to recommence hostilities?—Nescio again. Why, after having advanced above sixty miles, did the Prince conceive the idea of returning to his former position?—Nescio! Some say, that want of provisions is the cause; others assign other reasons;—The womb of time, however, is pregnant with grand, perhaps with wonderful events.

Head-Quarters at Artzheim, June 9.
The Austrian army, which had so bravely broken the Armistice, is flying as fast as possible, without firing a shot. Our van-guard pushed forward yesterday as far as Durkheim, without being able to overtake them. Kaiserlautern, Nieuwstadt, and Spies are occupied by our troops. The General Officers, who were on a reconnoitring party, took 100 prisoners, who are all rejoiced at their capture, and prove to what a degree a spirit of depression prevails in their army. "HAUSSMANN."
BOLOGNA, May 15.
When it was known here that the French had arrived in the Duchy of Modena, the Senate, in virtue of powers inherent in it, but which had by gradual encroachments been almost extinguished by the Court of Rome, met to deliberate upon the dangers with which the city was threatened. It did not wait for orders from Rome, and the Cardinal Legate did not protest against its proceedings. The Senate resolved to demand a suspension of arms, until the Holy Father had an opportunity of treating for peace. The result is not yet known. Meanwhile measures are taking to prepare for discharging a military contribution; the city of Ferrara has collected money for the same purpose, of which the Clergy are to pay three-fifths. Romagna is the province which will suffer most by these contributions. Specie is there extremely scarce, and the French will not take in payment the assignats of the Holy Father.
PARIS, June 16.
Peace draws near, in spite of the gold and the intrigues of the British Cabinet, in spite of the efforts of some of our factious citizens, who, finding their account in the war, and the enormous expence which it occasions, wish to render it perpetual, and by that means complete the general ruin. We have every reason to believe, that the Directory will suffer no opportunity to escape of meriting the title of benefactors of Europe, by concluding, as soon as possible, with all the Continental Powers, at least, a peace worthy of the new fortunes of the Republic. We will even venture to affirm, that a general peace will take place on the Continent before the expiration of a month.
29th Prairial (June 17.)
There was a strong report at Manheim on the 27th, that orders had arrived from Vienna to desist from all offensive operations on the left bank of the Rhine, and which had determined the return of Wurmer to the environs of Manheim.
Letters from Bahia state, that the Corsican insurgents have just obtained possession of Bahia, where they have made Sir Gilbert Elliot, the Viceroy, a prisoner. This news needs confirmation.
We are assured that Buonaparte has promised to return to Paris by the way of Vienna, provided the Emperor should not conclude a peace. If he continues his route, General Kleber will soon be able to shake hands with him.
1st Messidor (June 19.)
M. de Steel will quit Paris in a few days. He had received orders from his Court to present to the Directory M. Rehausen, in quality of Swedish Charge d'Affaires. The Directory has refused to receive this new envoy. It is said on this occasion, that the Directory did not wish to spare Russia the appointment of her secret agents, by acknowledging one of her public agents.
The King of Spain has prohibited, by a royal schedule, all the tribunals, even that of the Inquisition, from molesting the French in their worship. He has, however, declared, in the same schedule, that those alone will be acknowledged as French men, who are recognized by the ambassador of the Republic. The latter, on his side, has notified to all the French who reside in Spain, that they are to enjoy the privilege granted by the royal schedule, only so long as they shall be decorated with the token of French liberty.
The frigate La Vengeance, belonging to the last division dispatched from Brest for St. Domingo, has captured the ship Edgar, from Liverpool, bound to Africa. This vessel was burnt, and her crew put on board the corvette Athalante. The latter has taken and sunk the brig Indultry, and the Hudson, Capt. Webster, laden with flour.
It appears by a letter from Augsburg of the 2d inst. that the Grisons informed the Austrian government of the project of the French troops, to march through the Valteline, adding, that it was not in their power to prevent this march, and that the said government must therefore adopt such mea-
asures, as it should think necessary to indicate that project. In consequence of this intimation, the Austrian troops, who are arrived in the environs of Innsbruck, as well as the armed inhabitants of Tyrol, have received orders to occupy the two passes, which lead into the Brisgaw, and it is supposed, that they will be defended with the utmost vigour. The Minister of Marine has officially contradicted the report of a plot having been formed at Toulon, to surrender that port to the English.
MENTZ, June 3.
A courier is said to have arrived, bringing an order to suspend offensive operations.
Within these two days a regiment of carabineers and four battalions of fusileers have desisted from Manheim, which have returned from the army of Wurmer to march to the Brisgaw, where they are to replace an equal number of troops departed for Tyrol.
MANHEIM, June 4.
This morning the regiment of Hussars of Wurmer repassed the Rhine, and took the route to Brisgaw. We are likewise assured, that other troops have repassed the Rhine last night, and taken the same route. This movement is, it is said, the result of orders arrived from Vienna, that the troops of the Brisgaw may move to Tyrol, menaced by the army of General Buonaparte. On the other hand, we are assured, that peace is concluded on, at least, that the preliminaries are signed—What confirms this opinion is, the number of couriers arrived at Balle, at Franckfort, and the head-quarters of the Imperial army.
June 7.
More than 20,000 men of the Imperial army on the Rhine are gone, by forced marches, to Tyrol, to dispute the entrance of the French. It is said, that these troops will be replaced by an equal number of men, who are on their march from Galicia.—It is added, that twelve battalions for the reinforcement of the army, have departed from the Banat, Slavonia, Croatia and Hungary.
SCHWALBACH, June 9.
Particular detail of the battles of the 5th, 6th, and 7th, between the Imperial and French Armies of the Sambre and Meuse, and the Rhine and Moselle.
BATTLE OF ALTENKIRCHEN.
On the 5th, at break of day, General Collaud attacked the entrenched camp of the Austrians, near Altenkirchen. After an engagement of four hours, as bloody as obstinate, victory was uncertain. General Collaud, equally irritated at the loss of his troops and the resistance of the enemy, ordered the charge to be beaten. The grenadiers then advanced with fixed bayonets, and the camp was forced.
The fruits of this victory are, 3,700 prisoners, 5 pair of colours, 9 pieces of cannon, a great number of waggons, and two general officers, one of whom is dangerously wounded. The number of killed is estimated at 1,500 men on both sides.
BATTLE NEAR BIRCHENFEL AND OBERSTEIN.
It was General Merceau's division that was ordered to attack the left wing of the Austrians on all points. After several bloody engagements, in which both parties lost a great number of men, the Austrians fell back. The French advanced by forced marches. In the interval, General Champonnet attacked the Austrians at Stromberg and its environs, with so much impetuosity, that they were forced to fly to Bingen, whither he followed them, and took a position on the heights.
At the same time, General Bernadotte drove them from the Nahe, which river his army passed near Bingen, and took an advantageous position.—Another engagement happened on the Glan.
BATTLES OF NIEDER-LAHNSTEIN, POSTENDORF AND HOCHHEIM.
Notwithstanding the advantageous position of the Austrians at these different points, Generals Grenier and Bonnard attacked and surrounded them, and made 5,000 prisoners, besides taking 23 pieces of cannon, and a number of waggons.
On the afternoon of the 5th, General Kleber ordered the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein to be blockaded.
On the following day several strong columns passed the Lahn; the first are now at Nasselin and Seliers, ten leagues from Franckfort, and eleven from Mayence.
The Archduke Charles, astonished at the rapid successes of General Kleber in the environs of the forests of Westerwald, and the other side of the Lahn, and wishing to oppose the French armies with more considerable forces, caused his army to retire from the Hundsruck, and desist by Mayence, in order to protect the right bank of the Rhine, as well as the Mayn, in concert with General Wurmer; but General Jourdan defeated these designs, by passing the Rhine with his principal forces in the environs of Andernach, Coblenz, and Nieuwied. His head-quarters are at the last mentioned place.
OLD BAILEY.
Ann Woodley and her servant Ann Johnson, were indicted for stealing ten guineas, the property of Mr. Harding.
Mr. Harding deposed that he picked up Ann Woodley, at Drury-lane playhouse, and handed her into a coach, and when he paid the link-boy he felt his purse in his pocket; it contained ten guineas; but when he was getting out of the coach at the lady's lodgings, in Cleveland-street, he missed his purse. The lady tried to make off at the other door, but the prisoner catching her, she fell down; her maid, Ann Johnson, ran to her, and there being some scrambling between the mistress and her maid, he supposed the maid received the purse, with which she ran into the house; the mistress then offered to let herself be searched, to which he replied, there was no necessity, he knew well enough where it went.
The coachman swore positively, the mistress and her maid were not together before the lady offered to let herself be searched.—The prisoners were acquitted.
STOCKHOLM, May 13.
A Courier arrived here yesterday from St. Petersburg; and to day we are assured that friendship and good understanding is entirely established with Russia. This news seems to be confirmed, by Col. de Rosenstien having yesterday received orders to
disarm the fleet of galleys, which was begun to be done this morning. Government has also caused it to be officially announced at the exchange that the merchants might continue their commerce without the least danger. Notwithstanding all this, the great fleet is to be put in condition for sailing, by the 24th of this month.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 1.
The Russian Envoy has complained to the Reis Effendi, relative to the Polish Count Oginski, who is suffered to reside in the capital, and of several other Polish Nobles, supported by the Turks in Moldavia. The Envoy assured the Turkish minister, that the Empress could not remain indifferent to the protection granted to so many Polish emigrants in the Turkish Empire.
The Reis Effendi answered, that the name of Emigrant was unknown in Turkey, and that the Porte had always had strangers, and especially Poles in its service; but that he would nevertheless represent the affair to the Grand Seignor.
From Vienna it is reported, that in consequence of the assemblage of a large body of troops between Bialow and Bender, the passage over the Dniester into Moldavia is stopped—and from Bosnia, it is said that war is actually declared. Fresh differences are mentioned to have arisen between our court and the Divan, and it is urged, that in consequence of the prevalence of the French interest with the Grand Seignor, we must either become a party in the war, or commit ourselves with Russia, whom we are bound by treaty to furnish with 30,000 men, if attacked by the Turks. Besides the supplies received at Constantinople from the French, the Emperor of Morocco has sent a vast quantity of copper and salt-petre to the arsenal at Constantinople, and particular instructions have been given to the several military classes in the Turkish armies to hold themselves in readiness to act against the enemies of the Prophet. It is even affirmed, that with respect to Austria, a proposition to guarantee our fortresses and possessions on the Frontiers, has been refused. Hostile preparations in Turkey are somewhat abated, but apparently for no other reason, but because the object of them is obtained. As for the pretence that the vast forces collected at Adrianople and other places are to act against the rebels; every one who recollects the proceedings of the Ottoman Power in 1787, may observe that the same excuses were then made use of, till the Porte unexpectedly declared war against the Russians, and imprisoned their ambassador.
From the Star.
Buonaparte, Commander in Chief of the French Army of Italy, to the People of the Milanese.
The Nobles, the Priests, the Agents of Austria mislead the inhabitants of these beautiful countries; the French army, alike generous and powerful, will treat the peaceable and tranquil inhabitants with fraternity: they will be terrible as the fire from heaven, to rebels, and to the villages which afford them protection.
Art. I. In consequence, the Commander in Chief declares all those villages in a state of Rebellion, which have not conformed to the law of the 6th Prairial. The generals shall send against those villages the force necessary to repress them, shall set fire to them, and put to death all who shall be found in arms. All the priests and Nobles who shall be found in the rebellious communes shall be arrested as hostages and sent to France.
Art. II. All the villages in which the alarm bell shall be rung, shall be immediately reduced to ashes: The generals are responsible for the execution of this order.
Art. III. The villages in the territory of which any Frenchmen shall be assassinated, shall pay a fine of one third of the contribution which they are accustomed to pay to the Archduke in one year, unless they point out, arrest, and deliver up the assassins to the army.
Art. IV. Every man found with a gun and ammunition shall be immediately shot, by order of the General of the District.
Art. V. Every country house in which arms shall be found concealed, shall pay a third of its rent, by way of fine; every house in which a gun shall be found shall be burnt, unless the landlord shall declare to whom it belongs.
Art. VI. All noble or opulent persons, who shall be convicted of having excited the people to revolt, either by dismissing their servants, or by censuring the French, shall be arrested as hostages, and conveyed to France; and half their property shall be confiscated.

THURSDAY EVENING, August 25.
From the New-York ARGUS.
By the Rhode-Island Packets we learn, that a French corvette arrived at Newport about the middle of last week, direct from Guadalupe, and informs, that twelve or fourteen French 50 gun ships and frigates had arrived there with a British 50 gun ship, a prize. The corvette was chased into Newport by a British frigate.
A Correspondent observes that the "extract of a letter from an English Gentleman , to his friend in this city, dated June 16." Published in Mr. Brown's paper of Tuesday, affords, like many others, a striking specimen of the fabricating epistolary talents of the writer.
This extract which fills a column, contains not one sentence of news, except the following, for the truth of which, further extracts will be necessary as vouchers. "The opposition made to the Treaty and particularly the motion of Mr. M c Clay, one of your Representatives, has not been disserviceable to you in the minds of thinking people here." ! ! !

COMMUNICATION.
The French are exercising the rights of conquest in Italy—at the same time they are fraternizing the people—The poor are to be disfranchised upon as little as possible in collecting the requisitions, till they are not to be exempted. The requisitions have been more than the whole circulating medium of the conquered countries could balance; hence they have heretofore remitted the deficiencies in numerous instances. The rich and middling classes will see that they are stripped—the poor, that their pittance is diminished—Fraternization, on such conditions, will appear a dear bargain.
Is it in human nature to be so imposed upon, as to believe, that a people can be thus conquered into liberty?
The transfer of the riches of the Grecian States to Rome, and making that proud city the "MUSEUM OF THE WORLD," was compensated by declaring the Grecian Republics free—What sort of compensation that was, subsequent facts demonstrate—Depredancy, misery and slavery ensued—and more than two thousand years have been testimony to the degradation of those once free states.
From the Farmers Weekly Museum.
THE reader will recollect, that he was last week requested to refresh himself beneath the cooling shade of a maple: Presuming that the frequent showers of the season have, ere this, obliged him to leave this rural arbor, if his patience is not exhausted, the hermit would be happy in his company, while visiting some of his rustic acquaintances.
Devoting my morning rambles to the contemplation of what my professor elegantly termed "the great volume of nature," in the afternoon I quit the mountains, hills, and flowers, and stroll to some farm house, to amuse myself with the artless tales of its tenants. The good landlady, in the neat attire that designates the golden days of good Queen Bess, compares the present times with the ancient, that licenced the perfection of witches and quakers, and blessed her flats for permitting her to see those better days: next succeeds a lecture on the blue laws of Connecticut, plentifully mixed with digression in praise of the piety of the Coventry parson and the saint like conduct of his parishioners: how puddings and home-spun have now given place to bohea and muslin, which she justly fears is injurious to the morals and prosperity of our country. Her white headed husband hitches his armed chair nigher the table, and tells some Pequod anecdotes; this leads him to give the history of a battle in the Indian war, when he bore a dangerous share, and saved his Colonel from a scalping-knife, by leaping a log fence and grasping the savage; he tells me when General Dieskau was wounded, and many feats of Johnson's bravery. Here the old soldier forgets his age, and takes a stride across the room, to shew the funnels with which he led his company to battle on the day that Baum was defeated. I covered, says he, the right flank of Stark's division, and my orderly serjeant was the first who killed a Hessian with a bayonet. He then takes his crutch, and marks out the encroachments on the floor—brings up the several detachments to the breast work, and at last copies the whole of the enemy. He then proceeds to tell the rapid progress of this new country, since his remembrance: thirty years ago, says he, where you now see that meeting-house, I was obliged to go twenty rods on my knees to shoot a deer. In that corn field my Tyger treed a Bear and two cubs; and, in that upper pasture stood a house from which the Indians stole two children. But, says he, I have lived to see the Indians extirpated, I have fought for my country's freedom, and live in its perfection, by my own labor. I have brought my wild farm to easy cultivation; I have five sons, who are good husbands, and now nothing remains for me but to learn to die.—After toasting WASH-INGTON with a pint of metheglin, I leave the good old man and his family to enjoy a good night's rest while my own slumbers are abundantly softened by the rational amusement I received at his house.
THE HERMIT.
From the FARMER'S WEEKLY MUSEUM: A CHARACTER.
TIM TRIANGLE is a whimsical fellow, in my opinion. An excellent mathematician, a perfect Webber* in geometry. Tim measures the parallax of Venus, solves affected equations, or projects a solar eclipse on his thumb nail, with microscopick accuracy. But Tim is not satisfied with such trivial attainments. Law, politics, religion, men and manners, are indiscriminately subjected to Tim's calculations. He can explain the mechanism of the Federal System, point out the parts of the political machine, which are exposed to the most violent friction, or give directions to a Gallatin for "stopping the wheels of government." Tim understands the balance of power in Europe, and has drawn many a diagram to elucidate its principles. He has made great improvements upon Montesquieu's theory, relative to the physical influence of climate, in stamping the character of a nation. Forty-three degrees and thirty-three minutes, says Tim, is the latitude of perfection.—Rise to the pole, or recede to the equator, from this parallel, and human nature dwindles in arithmetical progression. Borrowing a hint from the ingenious Doctor Rush, he has constructed a scale, by which the latitude of any place given, after making a sort of tare and trett allowance for adventitious circumstances, he ascertains the character of its inhabitants. Tim illustrates Lavater's physiognomy by conick sections, and can guage the capacity of a statesman, or a barrel of porter, with equal facility. He never ventures to decide upon the character of his most intimate acquaintance, till he has taken the angle of incidence, which his nose forms with the less prominent parts of his visage.
Tim wants a wife, and threatens to lay siege to a young lady in the neighborhood, and to proceed according to the principles of tactics, till her ladyship capitulates.

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, August 24.
The following was handed yesterday for publication, by Capt. Place, of the Two Friends, 15 days from St. Marks:
Off St. Marks, July 10, 1796.
My vessel was drove out in distress about 8 in the evening by a gale of wind—so light of ballast I was forced to cut the cable to keep the vessel from upsetting. At day light, stood for the port we failed from—We discovered a boat rowing towards us with 16 oars, which we supposed to be a French pirate: they stripped us of every thing they could, and said all the Americans were rogues, and they were determined to plunder all they fell in with.
PAUL R. PLACE.
August 11. Spoke the brig Lucy, Captain Crawford, belonging to Col. Smith of Baltimore, who was on shore at Atwood's Key: I offered him all the assistance in my power, and proposed bringing his cargo to New-York—but this he declined, and abused me because I would not convey it to Crooked-Island.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) July 22.
The master of the Salter, from Teneriffe, mentions, that a Dutch squadron of 7 sail of the line, weakly manned, left the Canaries on the 17th of May, the day before which they had been reconnoitered by an English 74: on the 20th and 21st a heavy cannonading was heard, and it was supposed two fleets had met.
His majesty's ship Alfred, of 74 guns, Capt. Drury, arrived on Saturday at Port-Royal, in 17 days from Martinique. In the Mona passage she fell in with and captured the French national frigate La Renommee, of 44 guns: the frigate supposing her to be an East-Indian with troops, bore down upon her, and endeavored to escape on discovering the mistake, but a broad side which the Alfred poured into her, made her strike. The frigate is an excellent sailer, only two years old; she had failed from Cape-Francois in company with another frigate called La Meduse, and had fallen in with five English transports, with 100 men on board each, coming from Martinique to the Mole, and captured the whole of them, the frigate with difficulty escaped. She continued on her cruise, and the other convoyed the transports into Cape-Francois and was again to join her on the cruise. On board the frigate captured is a considerable quantity of baggage, of which they plundered the officers belonging to the troops.
Lieut. Richards, 1st lieutenant of the Alfred, commands La Renommee.
The captain of La Renommee French Frigate mentions, that since she has been built, which is about two years, and during which time he has commanded her, he has captured 120 vessels, but has to this moment reaped no benefit from the sale of his prizes.
NORFOLK, August 18.
We have extracted the following from Antigua papers, received by the Janet, Capt. Whibbee.
St. JOHN'S (ANTIGUA) July 25th, 1796. Two Dutch 50 gun ships and three frigates, we understand are arrived at Demarara.
A severe cannonading was heard to the southward of this Island for several hours on Thursday evening last, but the cause of it we have not been able to learn.
Admiral Bligh, it is said, may be expected every moment at Barbados, with the remainder of the troops, promised for the reduction of the Island of Guadalupe.
July 26.
The gallant Capt. Vaughan of his Majesty's sloop of war Alarm we are sorry to learn, has lately lost his life at sea, by being washed overboard in a storm.
A report prevails that his Majesty's ship L'Aimable has recently had an engagement off Guadalupe with a French vessel of superior force; the engagement, it is said, commenced in the evening, and was renewed again the next morning, when an English sloop of war bearing in sight the enemy made off.
The Schooner Louisa Bridger arrived this noon from Martinique, she brings an account that the Beaulieu Frigate was believed there to have taken a French Frigate and to have brought her to this Island—She likewise brings intelligence of the arrival of the first June packet at Dominica.
BALTIMORE, August 23.
Messrs. EDWARDS & SMYTH,

Table with 3 columns: Subscription Amount, Dollars, Cts. Includes entries for First district produced, Second do., Third do., etc.
As soon as 4,000 dollars was collected, (viz. on 23rd July) that sum was forwarded to John Matthews, Esq. Chairman of the Committee of Charleston, appointed to ask contributions for those sufferers, and on the 6th August the balance of 579 dolls. and 73 cents, was also forwarded to the same gentleman to be distributed by the committee, amongst the sufferers, in such manner as they should deem most advisable.
LONDON, June 14. WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

Translated for the Daily Advertiser. OFFICIAL PAPERS.
Note of Count Osterman, Minister of Russia, to Monf. de Mordwinoff, Russian Minister at Venice.
Her Majesty the Empress having chosen your Excellency to felicitate in her name, his most Christian majesty, upon his coming to the throne, I am charged, Sir, to transmit to you the letter of credence, which will serve you as an introduction to that prince, and of which I add a copy for your information.
Having repaired thither after his reception at Verona, you will present it to the king of France in an audience which you will request for that purpose, accompanying it with an address analogous to its contents. After you have passed some days at Verona, you will take leave of his most Christian Majesty to return to your post, and you will not fail in due season to render an account to her Imperial Majesty, of the manner in which you shall execute that commission. The expenses which shall thereby accrue to your Excellency, will be put upon the list of extraordinary expenses, and will be reimbursed to you.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) The Count OSTERMAN.
Letter in Louis the XVIIIth's own hand writing, to Monseur Mordwinoff, Minister of Russia, at Venice.
Verona, April 20.
I could not, Sir, deposit in better hands than yours, the letter of attorney which I have directed the Count d'Entragues to transmit to you with this letter. I have already entrusted to you what I had most precious at Venice, the portrait of the king my brother. I join to it the armour of Henry the IVth—and by this double deposit, I have the happiness to prove at once my friendship for your august sovereign and my esteem for you. I do not doubt but that her Majesty the Empress will give you an order, if you should consider yourself obliged to ask it, to act in consequence of my letter of attorney. I anticipate it on my side from what has passed and from what I have done in consequence of it. I have received the letter you have directed to be sent to me, and I have answered by the courier which I have dispatched. Informed, Sir, as I am of your sentiments and of your generous care for my faithful subjects, I can beg you with confidence to charge yourself, in opposition to the government of Venice, with those whom I shall leave behind me in the territory of the Republic. You will readily suppose that I would recommend to you, more particularly than any other, Be persuaded, Sir, of my high esteem, &c.
LOUIS.
Letter of Attorney.
Louis, by the grace of God, King of France and Navarre, to Mons. the Count Alexander de Mordwinoff, Privy Counsellor of her Majesty the Empress of all the Russias, her Minister Plenipotentiary at the Republic of Venice, and Knight of the order of Saint Wolodimir, Greeting: The Senate of Venice having signified to us in an offensive manner, that the asylum which we had thought fit to choose for ourselves was from that moment at an end, and that it was expected we would without any delay depart from Verona, we have answered in the following terms, to the Marquis Carlotti, charged directly to execute that commission to us—"I will go, but I demand two indispensable conditions—the first, that they present to me the golden book in which my family is inscribed, that I may erase therefrom my name—secondly, that they restore to me the armour which the friendship of my Grandfather, Henry IVth, caused to be presented to the Republic.
The just impatience which we have to depart from the Venetian States, determines us to give you, by these presents, power to demand in our
behalf, the fulfilment of two conditions, to erase the name of our family from the golden book, and to receive the armour of our Grandfather Henry the IVth of glorious memory. Done at Verona, under our hand and our common seal, 20th April, in the year of our Lord, 1796, and of our reign the first.

Capt. Attwood, of the brig George, arrived yesterday from St. Marks, spoke, about 12 days ago, the brig Delight, capt. Topliff, from Jeremie, bound to Bolton, in lat. 27, long. 74. About 5 days ago, spoke off Cape Hatteras, brig Commerce, of Warren, from St. Croix bound to Baltimore.
The brig Polly, capt. Watson, of Philadelphia, had arrived at St. Mark's just before captain Attwood failed: She had been taken near Leogane by a French privateer Schooner of 16 guns; but the Quebec British Frigate falling in with the privateer and prize, the Frenchmen abandoned the prize and the Quebec run the privateer on shore, and sent the brig into St. Mark's. In consequence of an American boy being left on board the brig by the Frenchmen, when the Quebec took possession of her, the salvage was saved to her owners, and she was delivered up to her Captain.

Princeton, Aug. 24. 2aw
A very valuable MERCHANT MILL, DISTILLERY and BREWERY, and sundry STONE QUARRIES to be let.
I will rent my merchant Mill at the little Falls of Potomac, for any term not less than seven, nor more than eleven years, from the first day of September next. The mill-house is 42 by 40 feet, three stories high, built with stone, and has in it three pairs of French Burr Stones, two overshot 18 feet water-wheels, and Evans's machinery complete, with every other thing proper and necessary for carrying on the business with dispatch, and at as little expense as possible, all in good order—From the mill to my landing on the Potomac river, (where craft, of any burthen may deliver grain and take in flour) it is about 40 yards, and from thence, by water to George-Town and the City of Washington, about 3 miles, and to Alexandria about 11 miles. This situation, aided by a sufficient capital, will command the produce of a very extensive back country, where large quantities of wheat and other grain is annually made, the distance to it being from 8 to 10 miles less than to any market town upon the navigation of the Potomac. There are on the premises a large stone Coopers' shop, a stone granary, and a commodious miller's house. At the landing aforesaid a bridge is now building over the Potomac, which is in great forwardness and probably will be finished the ensuing fall.
There are also on the premises, a Brewery and Distillery, built with stone, in them are three stills, two coppers or boilers, with every necessary article, all new, and in good order, and sufficiently large to carry on the Brewery and Distillery upon a very extensive plan. This property I will rent for the same term of years.
Upon my lands adjoining the premises, and along the banks of the river, where craft may load with ease and dispatch, is an immense quantity of building and foundation stones. Four quarries are now open, and as many more may be opened with ease: the stone taken from these quarries is better, and has the preference at this market, to any other stone brought to it. I will rent these quarries separately or together as may best suit.
On the top of the hill, and about 200 yards from the mill, is a stone Dwelling-house, large enough for the accommodation of a family: also, a kitchen, dairy, smoke-house, &c. and a garden, enclosed and in cultivation, the soil of which is equal in goodness to any in this State. I will also rent this property.
Adjoining to the Brewery and Distillery is a Smith's shop, in which is a complete set of Blacksmith's tools, which I will also rent, and if agreeable I will hire to the tenant two negro blacksmiths, one of them is a complete workman.
If I rent out the stone quarries, I will sell three crafts, which were built for the purpose of carrying stone: they will altogether bring upwards of 90 perch. Immediate possession will be given. For terms apply to the subscriber in this town.
The Mill, Brewery and Distillery, with their appurtenances, will be delivered to the tenant or tenants in good repair, and must be so returned, at the expiration of the lease or leases.

CALLED TWITTENHAM , situate in the township of Upper Derby, and county of Delaware, 1-2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 230 acres of excellent land, 100 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime woodland, and the rest arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with 4 rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and front, spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peach-trees. The fields are all in clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing.
The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high elevation of the land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat.
The foregoing is part of the estate of Jacob Harman, deceased, and offered for sale by
Mordecai Lewis, Surviving Executor. Oct. 9. eo.]
