The Constitutional Gazette; AND  Republican Courier. The Subscriber respectfully offers to the Public, proposals for a Newspaper, under the title of the Constitutional Gazette, and Republican Courier. It is intended to be published three times a week in the city of Philadelphia; viz. on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening. The subscription will be five dollars per annum, half to be paid by subscribers in the city when called for. The difficulty of collecting small sums in the country, renders it necessary to ask the subscription, out of the city, to be paid in advance, or the name of a person in Philadelphia who will pay them regularly. Although the proposed Newspaper will be of a smaller size than the unhappy sheets now generally in use, it will contain as much as the generality of the daily Gazettes. It is expected that a very small portion of it will be occupied by advertisements, which will occasion an unusual quantity of intelligence and information. It will be published in the quarto form, and regularly paged, to render it convenient for binding in volumes, to each of which an index will be attempted. The principles intended to be supported, are those of the Federal and State Constitutions. The friends of the tranquility, peace and happiness of this country, may rely on a calm, decent and firm adherence to those valuable Republican codes. The Editor is unwilling to make large promises, but he assures his friends and the public, that he has ground to rely on important literary and political contributions from various sources. Without such an expectation, he would not have undertaken, at this time, to publish a new Gazette. He believes the Press to be the noblest instrument in the command of Freemen, and he flatters himself that The Constitutional Gazette will not be found among the most exceptionable, nor among the least useful. Subscriptions are received by the different booksellers, and at the subscriber's office, No. 90, South Third Street, at which place the Weekly Magazine continues to be published. EZEKIEL FORMAN. Philadelphia. March 23d, 1799.

East-India News. CONTINUED.
CALCUTTA, October 29. Extract of a letter, dated Camp near Ram-pourab, 13th October, 1798. "You have of course heard of the movement of our detachment, and the subsequent one of General Stuart, with the whole Futty Ghur station to join us. After having lain encamped before Bereilli ten days, we this day made a retrograde movement to this place, where one battalion had recrossed the Ram Gunga, and we follow to-morrow, in order to form a speedy junction with Gen. Stuart; Besoulah is mentioned as the rendezvous. The Prince accompanies us with three battalions, a thousand horse and eight guns; he is a very fine young man indeed, who has lately been appointed Governor of Bereilli." "After the junction takes place, in order to avoid encroaching on the dominions of the Rohillas, we shall commence our march to Moradabad, a place situated exactly on the frontiers, when a formal demand is to be made of Golaun Mahomed's family, and in case of a refusal to deliver them, it is said that force will be used to obtain possession of them. They are to be conducted to Lucknow, where they are to reside, as hostages for Golaun's future conduct." "Almas Ali Khan is perfectly recovered from his late illness, but still remains at Lucknow."
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. General Orders by the Commander in Chief, 16th October, 1798. A draft is to be made from the 1st European regiment, of a sufficient number of men to fill up some vacancies of Matrosses, in the 4 companies of artillery, at the field stations, and that of Allahabad, including the vacancies which will be occasioned by the transfer of men recommended for the invalid establishment. The establishment of Golaun's ordered by the minute of the Council of the 15th inst. is to be completed as expeditiously as possible, with a scrupulous attention to the choice of the men. In selecting men from the Lascar companies, particular care must be taken, that none but such as from age, size, and good behaviour, are fit for Golaun's, be admitted on that establishment. Mahometans are to be preferred for the Golaun's establishment, and no man is to be received upon it, who does not engage to embark on board of ship, whenever the service shall require his proceeding to sea—this is to be an express stipulation on oath, previous to being enrolled. An opportunity will be offered for rewarding deserving men, in the Lascar companies, by promotions to the rank of Jemadars, Havildars, and Naik, if their shall be in them men qualified for these situations; in which case the selection is to be made with due attention to length of service and merit. The dress of the Golaun's is to conform as much as possible to that of the European artillery-men; after the commander in chief shall have approved of a pattern coat, bounty clothing will be prepared, they are to be armed and accoutred in the same manner as the European artillery.
The importance of the Golaun's establishment is so obvious, and the utility to be derived from it, so much depending on the proper choice of men, and their subsequent training and instruction, that the commander in chief cannot too seriously enjoin the utmost vigilance and exertion in these points on the part of the officers commanding companies, of the commandant of artillery, of the officers commanding battalions and detachments, and of the Major Generals in command of stations.
Translated for the Boston Centinel. (From French papers received by the Schooner Mary, captain Watkins.)
THE FRENCH BANK. PARIS, November 26. The administrators of the Bank current accounts, invited by the Minister of the Home Department to communicate to him the events of yesterday and this day relative to their establishment—the present situation of the checks, and the security which the public may explicitly rely on;—answer and declare:— First.—That Augustin Monnerin, General Director of said Bank has disappeared since yesterday, and notwithstanding every effort made to ascertain his present abode, has not been discovered. Secondly.—That this director left a short account of the bills bearing date Brumaire 20 [Nov. 10.] written and signed by himself, which has been presented to the Minister, in which account Monnerin acknowledges himself to be indebted to the Bank 2,500,000 francs, (about 500,000 dollars.) He does not indicate the causes of that deficit, and the administrators are yet unacquainted with them. Thirdly.—Whatever those causes may be, the investigation of the check—the bills out—the current accounts—and that of the bills in the porte feuille, prove that the real property exceeded the nominal 2,409,094 francs, and 65 cents; [about 481,000 dollars] in which the value of the buildings is not included. Fourthly.—The bills in the Port feuille have been selected with such attention, and are endorsed by three persons of such responsibility, that the Administrators and Stockholders can fully answer them, if the bankers and merchants consent to receive them in payment. Their interest, and that of the exchange are consonant with such an arrangement. Fifthly.—Agreeably to the present statement, it is evident, that the reimbursement of the bills is unquestionable; and will be
entirely effected before the end of Brumaire (Dec. 20.) That there is no cash for circulation, and if the public confidence be equal to the solidity of the bank, the establishment will assuredly continue; and commerce derive its usual advantages therefrom. Sixthly.—The Administrators certify that the Bank is not indebted to any public check, nor is any public check indebted to the bank; and that they have never made any operation directly or indirectly, with the government. J. Cb. Duvillier, Tuchebron, Deyon, Jubie, Girardet, J. Recanier, Desprez. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has also sent the following letter to the Diplomatic Agents, and Consuls of the French Republic, in foreign countries: "I send you, citizens, a copy of an article of the executive directory, bearing date of Brumaire 28 [Nov. 18th.] I request you to give it the greatest publicity. The event to which this article alludes, would have not taken place, if the administrators of the current accounts, too confident in this situation, had not disguised the amount of the sums which citizen Monneron owes to the check. However, it was sufficient to state publicly the situation of the check, to dispel every uneasiness. It has resumed immediately its usual service: its bills are received everywhere as cash, and nothing remains of that event but the usual regrets which commonly follow groundless alarms. Malevolence will certainly not fail to paint it abroad in other colours; it will be sufficient for you to oppose to it the truth. Health and Fraternity. [Signed] CH. MAU. TALLEYRAND. PARIS, Nov. 21. Some papers say, that Monneron is arrested."

NEW-YORK, March 27. Extract of a letter from a young gentleman of this city, dated on board the General Greene, March 6, 1799. Dear Sir, "Since I last wrote you by the Lavinia, capt. Carson, via Philadelphia, informing you of our safe arrival on our station, we have been at the Havannah to water, and since that, have been conveying Americans to and from that port. We had not the good luck of falling in with an enemy till the 5th inst. when we came across a French privateer who bruck to us after the fourth shot. On boarding her, we proved to be a schooner pierced for twelve guns, and small arms, &c. and manned with 26 men. She had left the Havannah the day before we took her, and the captain had laid, that in less than 24 hours after he was out, he would have three or four Americans as prizes. His Commission having expired, he was bound to the Cape to have it renewed; but having about seventy barrels of beef and pork on board, he pretended when we took her, to consider himself as a merchantman, and thought we would not make a prize of him: he was soon made sensible of his mistake. They are all safe on board the Commodore, and in irons. She and her cargo will amount to about 4000 dollars. Our commodore means, when we return to port, to have her manned and armed out of the fleet, and being a fast sailer, she will certainly be an acquisition to our little squadron. There are at present in the Havannah, a cutter mounting 16 nines, and a schooner of 14 sixes, likewise another in a port to windward, with the sails of several American prizes on board to the amount of nearly 40,000 dollars. We are continually on the look out for these gentlemen, and have not the least doubt before the cruise is over, we shall have the whole or part of them, and so clear the coast of these plundering picaroons so ruinous to our commerce."
BALTIMORE, March 26. Yesterday arrived the ship Union, captain Champlains, 13 weeks from Liverpool. On her passage picked up the crew of the brig Dove, captain Haywood, which had been wrecked off the Sable Banks, and suffered much for want of water, &c. The Dove was bound from Poole to Halifax with a cargo of Salt. The following list of vessels, were advertised in a Liverpool paper of the 20th December to sail for different ports in the United States. Ship Washington, Aaron Foster, for Baltimore. Ship Sally, John Campline, Charleston, to sail 25th January. Snow Woodford, City Point, Virginia, to sail 14 days. Ship Lydia, Charles Henderson, New-York, to sail 14 days.

INFERNAL OUTRAGE.
A gang of United Irishmen, yesterday beset the house of Mr. Brown, Editor of the Philadelphia Gazette...
Dr. Reynolds in the Chair!
On Monday the 18th inst. a number of United Irishmen assembled, to get drunk together at a private house...
The French Republic—Irishmen cannot be ungrateful. Nine cheers, and the Maritimes Hymn.
What has France done to deserve the gratitude of Ireland? Under deception after deception...
Army of "Ireland"—Mufic, Ca Ira
This must mean THE KING'S ARMY in Ireland, as there is no other there.
The Emigrant Irish Republicans—Soon and successful be their return.
Amen! Amen! and let all the people say amen!
The Martyrs of Irish Liberty; who have taught us how to live and die—Tone, Fitzgerald, &c. &c.
That is, how to live in infamy and die on the gallows—a United Irishman does not require many lessons for this instruction.
Alexander James Dallas; the independence of the Bar.
That these fellows should toast their Attorney is no way remarkable; as Irishmen cannot be ungrateful...
That it is a United Irishman, confessed to a verdict against a United Irishman, "he ought to lose his existence."
And yet these fellows have the effrontery to come here and prate about the independence of the Bar.
Many observations might be made on this private entertainment; but as it may have been the principal object of these poor wretches...
Although the murderous deeds of this most detestable banditti, that ever infested a civilized community...
Thus the immediate Agents have escaped; our attention turns, therefore, to the two villains who suborned them.
One naturally tries his hand at it again. With him no one is more likely to coalesce, than the infamous wretch who could pervert the currents of justice...
Two villains, I mean to hang up to the infamy they merit, in terms so clear that their...
persons can, or be mistaken, but as it is desirable to comprize under one view all that is to be said on this occasion...
N. B. As prosecutions for pretended titles have become more common...
COMMUNICATED.
Yesterday morning, a dark-visaged United Irishman, who appeared, by his looks and manners...
To Mr. FENNO.
SIR, I FIND myself under the disagreeable necessity of appealing to the public...
Every man who is acquainted with the duty of a commander of a vessel of war...
The report may have arisen from my chasing a French privateer into the island of St. Eustatia...
The report is stated as having come from one of my officers...
THOMAS WILLIAMS.
The different printers, who have inserted the aforesaid paragraph, are requested to give a place to this also.

"TAKE CARE!"
A Schooner arrived yesterday from some part of the West-Indies, on board of which it is reported...
