That there is a strongly prevailing disposition in France to make peace with England...
It has often been repeated, that the English Government should be exterminated. This might be well; but it would certainly be much better for us to make peace with this Government.

Among the numerous perfidious and corrupt acts of Buonaparte, during his command in Italy, the following has lately been published:—
"In June 1796, Buonaparte arrived with his army under the walls of Modena. The Duke unable to oppose him, entered into an amicable negotiation, the result of which was a solemn agreement, that, on the Duke of Modena's paying 600,000 crowns, and allowing a free passage for the French army by the short road through the territory of Modena, by Pistoia, to Leghorn, the city of Modena, and the subjects of the Duke, should be spared from all further requisition."
"The money was immediately sent by the Duke to Buonaparte's head quarters, in silver, which he received, but demurred, on account of its not being sent in gold, alleging that the agio, (which is the difference in Italy between the value of gold and silver), was then near ten per cent. The Duke replied that the currency of Modena was silver, and that in his whole territory the amount could not be raised in gold. Buonaparte firm to his purpose, insisted on having the contribution paid in gold. The Duke then agreed to receive back the silver, and forward it at his own expence to Leghorn, to get it exchanged.—But no; Buonaparte would keep the silver as a security for the safe arrival of the gold; and a very short period was given the Duke to procure it. The enemy was at his gates. The Duke collected the 600,000 crowns and sent them under an escort to Leghorn, and got them exchanged for gold, which was immediately forwarded to Buonaparte's head quarters, with a request that the original 600,000 crowns might be returned. Buonaparte, however, kept both; and not satisfied with this act of perfidy, on the same night he entered the city of Modena, demanded an immediate contribution of shoes, and every other supply for the use of the army, on pain of military execution. The venerable Duke of Modena was allowed to make his escape by the canal in the Venetian territories, and his departure was made a pretence for plundering his palace, and ruin and desolation followed."
"In the city of Quebeck the price of bread is regulated by the average price of flour for the preceding month; and any baker refusing to supply his customers with the usual quantity of bread, who have been regularly supplied from him the preceding month, forfeits his recognizance, and becomes liable to a prosecution."
IRISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
Wednesday, Jan. 15.
The Lord Lieutenant this day went down to the House of Peers, and opened the Parliament with the following Speech:—
"My Lords and Gentlemen, I have received his Majesty's commands to assemble you in Parliament."
"Upon a review of the important and glorious events that have distinguished the period which has elapsed since I last addressed you, the most gratifying and encouraging reflections present themselves to our consideration."
"By the brilliant course of victories achieved by the combined Imperial armies, the various kingdoms and states of Italy have been delivered from the ravages and the tyranny of the French."
"The throne of Naples and our friendly connection with that kingdom have been restored."
"The French expedition to Egypt has been checked in its career by the exertions of the Turkish arms, assisted by a small detachment of his Majesty's forces, and the gallantry of their heroic commander."
"The hostile plans of the common enemy in India have terminated in the total destruction of the power which had been misled by their artifices, and through the timely, vigorous, and decisive counsels of the Marquis of Wellesley, and the consummate skill and valour of his Majesty's Generals, Officers and Troops, the British possessions in that quarter of the globe have been beneficially extended, and effectually secured."
"By the descent of his Majesty's forces, and of his Russian allies on the Coast of Holland, the Dutch fleet has been happily rescued from the power of the enemy: and although the season, peculiarly unfavourable to military operations, produced the necessity of relinquishing an enterprise so fortunately begun, and prevented the accomplishment of his Majesty's views, yet the result of that expedition has been peculiarly beneficial to this kingdom, in removing all fear of attack on our coasts from a quarter whence it has been so often planned, and in enabling his Majesty's fleets to direct their vigilance exclusively to the single port from which the enemy can attack this country with any hope even of a temporary success."
"My utmost care has been exerted to carry into execution the extraordinary powers which you have committed to my discretion, with vigour; and at the same time with moderation. All tendency to insurrection has been effectually repressed; but it gives me true concern to acquaint you, that the painful necessity of acting with severity has been too frequently imposed upon me; and although public tranquility has been in a great measure restored, yet I have to lament that a disposition to outrage and conspiracy still continues in several districts, that much industry is used to keep alive the spirit of disaffection, and to encourage among the lower classes the hopes of French alliance."
"I trust that the recent revolution in France cannot fail to open the eyes of such of his Majesty's subjects as have been deluded by the artifice which have been unremittingly employed to withdraw them from their allegiance; and that it will restore and increase the love of constitutional order, and of regulated freedom, by demonstrating that the principles of false liberty tend ultimately to despotism, and that the criminal struggles of demagogic faction naturally close in military usurpation."
"So long as the French government, under whatever form it exerts its influence, shall persevere in schemes of destruct on and projects, of ambition, subversive at once of the liberties of Europe and of the security of his Majesty's Dominions, there can be no wise alternative but to prosecute the war with increasing energy. It is by great exertions alone that either their views of aggrandizement can be frustrated, or a solid peace procured; his Majesty has therefore availed himself with peculiar satisfaction of the cordial and great assistance which has been afforded him by his faithful Ally the Emperor of Russia, and has thought right to make every exertion for augmenting the disposable military force of his own dominions. His Majesty therefore has been highly gratified in accepting the services so generously offered by you his English Militia; and I am to express to you the entire confidence which his majesty feels, that the zeal and loyalty of his Militia of this kingdom, in forwarding at this important crisis the active operations of the Empire, will not be less prompt and conspicuous."
"The apprehension of general scarcity which some time since took place, called for my early attention to this most important subject; and I was induced, with the advice of the Council, to offer premiums for the early importation of grain. This measure will, I flatter myself, meet your approbation; and I have full confidence in your wisdom, if it shall be necessary to resort to any further extraordinary means for procuring a supply."
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,"
"The evident necessity of securing this kingdom from every danger, whether foreign or domestic, and of rendering the success of invasion, if attempted, impracticable, will demonstrate to you the wisdom of continuing that enlarged system of defence you have so wisely adopted."
"I have therefore ordered the public accounts and estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before you; and have the fullest confidence, that, in the supply which such a situation shall appear to you to require, you will equally consult the safety of the kingdom and the honor of his Majesty's government."
"I am induced to hope, that the great increase of the revenue, which has taken place in the present year, may enable you to raise the sums which may be wanted for the current services, without any distressing addition to the burthens of the people."
"My Lords and Gentlemen,"
"I recommend to your usual attention the agriculture, the manufactures, and particularly the linen manufacture of Ireland;
and I doubt not, that the Protestant church schools, and the public institutions, whether of charity or of education, which have been protected by your liberality, will still receive a judicious encouragement."
"It will be your wisdom to consider how far it will be necessary to continue any of those extraordinary powers, with which you have strengthened the authority of his Majesty's government, for the more effectual suppression and punishment of rebellious conspiracy and outrage."
"His Majesty places the most entire reliance upon your wisdom and discretion, and he has no doubt but you will anxiously pursue such measures as shall be best calculated for bringing the present war to an honorable termination and for restoring the country to a permanent quality."
"It will be my constant object to attend to your suggestions and advice, that I may by this means most beneficially accomplish the commands I have received from his Majesty and most effectually forward the interests and happiness of this kingdom."
LONDON, Jan. 21.
The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have ordered the beautiful frigate la Bourdelaise to be commissioned at Plymouth, and to carry twenty-eight 32 pounders.
This ship is considered by the ship builders to be the most beautiful model ever brought into an English port. She was taken by the Revolutionaries, Capt. Twilden, about two months ago, then on her second cruise since launching, at which time she had taken and destroyed 29 British vessels, the insurance on which, at Lloyd's, cost the underwriters two hundred and thirty thousand pounds. She is completely formed for fast sailing, that, though often chased by English men of war, none could come up with her; and her captain and owners often boasted at Bourdeaux that they set the whole of the British navy at defiance, provided they did not fall in with the Revolutionaire in blowing weather: Fortunately this event took place, and after a chase of nine hours, going 13 or 14 knots the whole time, la Bourdelaise struck to captain Twilden. Lord Spencer has given the command of this choice and desirable frigate, to captain Thomas Manly, who formerly commanded the Chardon. La Bourdelaise is 680 tons, 159 feet long, and 32 feet 6 inches beam.
Captain Eliab Hervey, is appointed to the Triumph, of 74 guns.
Capt. Edward O'Brien, to the Essex Sea Fencibles.
Capt. Patterson, to the Montague of 74, vice Knight Bick.
Capt. H. Hochman, to the Immortalite, of 36, at Plymouth.
January 27.
The most positive advices have been received at Vienna and Ratibon, that 30,000 Russians, as an Auxiliary Corps, two thirds infantry and one third cavalry, are now marching in three columns towards Bohemia. The Russian army now quartered in Bohemia will be increased to 70,000 men. Thus a fresh army of 100,000 Russians will appear in the field early in the spring, or perhaps sooner, if circumstances should require it.
"The Vienna Court Gazette, of the 28th December contains a letter from Innsbruck, dated in the evening of the 21st, which states that all the military of that place had been ordered, by a Courier, to proceed by forced marches to Italy, where the French had collected very strongly at a certain place."
"General Petrasch also reported, that the French were in motion, and that it appeared they would march in three columns towards Bregenz, Chur, and Feldkirch, against which he was making all necessary preparation."
"The Vienna Court Gazette of the 4th inst. contains an official relation of the occurrences in Italy, down to the 23rd December by which it appears that the French, instead of having gained some advantage, were forced to fly with the utmost precipitation to the walls of Genoa, many of their troops, with a chief of Brigade, being taken prisoners."
"The imperial army in Italy is to be completed to 150,000 men, and that of the Archduke it is supposed will not be less than 100,000 men, which together with 700,000 Russians to be on the Rhine, and at least 100,000 armed peasants, will give full employment to Buonaparte abroad:—whilst the Genoans, Vendéans and a Frech continental expedition of Anglo Russians, may equally claim his attention at home."
"Mr. Wickham, the English envoy has collected a flotilla of forty two ships on the Lake of Constance, which is to favour the operations in Switzerland, and will soon be considerably augmented."
"The English fleet which blocks up the harbor of Genoa, is reported to have taken a French flotilla laden with provisions and ammunition for that city."
"Private letters from Italy state, that one half of the Austrian army has entered winter quarters, whilst the other is to pursue its operations for some time, and then be relieved. By this plan the Austrians will always appear in the field with renovated strength."
"Our Plymouth letter states, on the authority of a passenger arrived from Morlaix, that the enemy's fleet at Brest, consisted of forty-eight sail of the line, fourteen of which were ready for sea, completely manned, and that they were expected to sail in a few days on a secret expedition, the object of which was supposed to be Portugal."
ARMY OF THE EAST.
INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE.
From this last intercepted correspondence from Egypt now published, under the authority of government, we shall select some passages from the letters of Kleber, Poussielgue, General Controller of the Expenses,
General Dugua, and Buonaparte himself to develop the character of the Arch-Consul, and shew the miserable and delitute condition in which he left the army of Egypt when he meanly stole away from it, stealing also, at the same time every single sous belonging to the military chest.
Buonaparte to General Kleber.
"The commissioner of the arts shall return to France on board a flag of truce, which you will demand for this purpose, conformably to the late cartel, some time in the month of November, immediately after they have completed the object of their mission. They are at present engaged in putting a finishing hand to it, by an examination of Upper Egypt. Nevertheless, if you think that any of them will be of service to you you may put them in requisition without scruple!"
"It is, by a series of the most extraordinary events, none of these attempts should succeed, and you should neither receive reinforcements, nor intelligence from France by May next; and if this year, in spite of all your precautions, the plague should break out in Egypt and carry off more than fifteen hundred of the troops—a considerable loss in addition to that which the events of the war will daily occasion—I think that you ought not to venture upon another campaign and that you are sufficiently justified in concluding a peace with the Ottoman Porte even though the evacuation of Egypt should be the leading article. It will merely be necessary for you to postpone the execution of it (if such a thing be possible) till the period of a general peace."
"Endeavor to get together five or six hundred Mameloucs, in such a manner, that, when the French fleet arrives, you may be able to lay your hands upon them at the same instant of time, either at Cairo or in the other provinces, and send them off immediately for France. If you cannot procure Mameloucs, such Arab hostages, Cheiks el Belad as may then be in custody, no matter on what account, will answer the end as well. These people, landed in France, and detained there for a year or two, will contemplate the grandeur of the Nation; they will acquire, in some degree, our manners and our language, and when they return to Egypt, will prove to us so many partisans."
"The army I entrust to your care is entirely composed of my own children. I have never ceased, even in the midst of their most trying difficulties and dangers, to receive proofs of their attachment; endeavor to preserve them still in those sentiments for me. This is due to the particular esteem and friendship I entertain for you, and to the unfeigned affection I feel for them!"
[To be continued.]
VIENNA, December 13.
The Austrian Gazettes announce that the Russian army assembled anew in Lithuania, will traverse Galicia in eight columns, where they will repair directly to Austria, Moravia, and Bohemia, where they will take their winter quarters, and join the army of General Suwarow. According to the same accounts, the first column of these reinforcements has already passed the Vistula, and directs its course to Linsburg. Preparations are making in the neighborhood of Vienna to receive 15,000 Russians, who are to arrive towards the end of January. The Pragus Gazette states, that General Suwarow, the Archduke Charles and General Melas are immediately to repair to Vienna, in order to concert a general plan for the approaching campaign. In the mean time the Aulic Council of war has ordered to press, with fresh activity, the levies in all the hereditary states.
PARIS, January 30.
Official dispatches, from General Kleber, dated Cairo, 25 Brumaire (November 16), state, that on 10th Brumaire (November 1), at break of day about four thousand Turks landed at Damietta, and immediately endeavoured to intrench themselves in a place between the right bank of the Nile, the sea, and the lake Menzaleh. General Verdier, who was encamped between Lestbeh, being informed of this descent, marched to attack them, put to the sword 3000 and took about 800 prisoners. General Verdier took from the enemy 32 standards, one 24 pounder, and four field pieces with their ammunition. This landing was effected under Sir Sidney Smith, who commanded the fleet. On the 18th the fleet was forced to sea by tempestuous weather, and had not again appeared when Kleber's dispatches were sent off. Some vessels, however, were still cruising off Alexandria, among which was the Theseus.
Buonaparte, first Consul of the Republic, to the Burgomasters and Senate of the free and Imperial City of Hamburg.
Paris, 2 Nivose, 8 year, Dec. 39, 1799.
SIRS,
We have received your letter; it does not justify your conduct.
Courage and virtue preserve States; cowardice and vice destroy them.
You have violated the laws of hospitality. Such an event could not have happened among the most barbarous hordes of the desert. Your fellow citizens must forever reproach you.
The two unfortunate men whom you have delivered up will die illustrious; but their blood shall work more evil on the heads of their persecutors than a whole army could have done.
(Signed)
BUONAPARTE. HUGHES BERNARD MARET, The Secretary State.

A NEW ADVERTISEMENT.
To Merchants, Store-keepers and Tradesmen in general, &c.
ROWLETT'S Tables of Discount or Interest, On every dollar (without exception) from one to two thousand, to five in hand, from one day to thirty days inclusive, at six per cent. with notes for 5, 7 and 8 per cent. &c. &c.
The work is dedicated, by permission, to the President and Directors of the Bank of North America, and received in the first twelve days the patronage of JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States; of THOMAS JEFFERSON, Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate; of the Members of the House of Representatives of the United States; and of the Presidents and Directors of the different Banks throughout the country. A list of the whole is printed and attached to the prospectus.
It is evident that the work will be no trumpery catch-penny-thing; for I do assure the public, that the price of it is reduced very near one-half, according to the usual rate at which books sell; and it is my full determination to render it, in point of subject MATTER, a valuable acquisition.
With respect to the accuracy of the Tables, too much cannot be said, and I pledge myself that a PREMIUM of not less than ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS shall be offered to the first person who shall inform me of a single error of one cent, according to the principle acted upon.
To do away all doubts with respect to the excellence of the undertaking, I do most solemnly declare that they will amount to very near FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS, and perhaps more, independent of any remuneration for my own trouble in the arduous business, and the great expense already incurred for specimens, proposals, advertisements, hand-bills, &c. &c.
I do therefore trust with confidence, that gentlemen will continue to come forward with that public spirit and generosity which characterizes the nation, and support the work by subscribing to it without hesitation: otherwise it cannot be published, and I must sit down to reflect upon a considerable loss.
And am, with profound respect, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accomplished, Bank North America.
Postscript.—Gentlemen are respectfully invited to see Specimens of the Tables, &c. exhibited at the City-tavern, Haray's Hotel, Francis's Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dudwood's tavern, the Franklin Head and at the George; and please be referred to the other advertisements which appear every day in some one of the newspapers.
Subscribers are to pay nothing until the book is delivered rigorously conformable to all stipulations. Copy right secured according to act of Congress. March 27. W. H.

Philadelphia Academy. SAMUEL MAGAW, D. D. Rector of St. Paul's church, and formerly Vice-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. JAMES ABERCROMBIE, A.M. One of the Assistant Ministers of Christ church and St. Peter's. INTEND TO OPEN, On Tuesday the 15th of next month, (April)
An Academy, CONSISTING OF 1. An English School, in which will be taught Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Composition, Elocution, and Natural History. 2d. A Mathematical School, in which will be taught Writing, Arithmetic, Mercantile Accounts, Geography and the use of the Globe; Geometry and Trigonometry, with their application to Mensuration, Surveying, Navigation, Nautical Astronomy, &c.—Also, the Principles of Mechanics, Algebra and Fluxions. 3d. A Classical School, in which will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in conjunction with Chronology, Civil History, Rhetoric, and the Institutes of Moral Science.
A well-grounded conviction of the expediency of the foregoing plan, has been our principal inducement to undertake it. When it is considered that this populous and flourishing Metropolis contains only one Public Institution on an extensive plan, and that many of our youth are obliged to resort to other States, to receive even a Grammar-School Education, the Seminary now proposed, will, we trust, be regarded as eminently useful.
Actuated by these considerations, many gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Literary Establishments, have urged, with great warmth, the present undertaking, and expected the most flattering expectations of its success.
Thus encouraged by the countenance and promised aid of liberal men, no less than by a firm persuasion that well-regulated Academies have a most important influence upon manners, habits, and principles; it will be our earnest endeavor to conduct this Seminary of Learning, as to subscribe the great interests of Religion and Morality, to promote Decorum of Behaviour, Correctness of Taste, Liberality of Sentiment, and every other attribute of an ingenious mind, which, in connection with good principles, and sound literature, constitute the distinguished ornaments of the gentleman, and the scholar.
The building, engaged for this Academy, though affording excellent accommodation, will be relinquished for a more central situation, if such a change should be found necessary.
A master of distinguished abilities will be procured to conduct the Mathematical Department.
Persons desirous to be employed as tutors in this Seminary, are requested to apply, without delay, to either of the subscribers, to whom also Parents wishing to send their children, will please to make application.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2.
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. TUESDAY, April 1. Mr. S. Smith brought in a bill to incorporate a company, by the name and stile of the Mine and Metal—Which was read a first and second time, and committed for Friday next.
Mr. Griswold, from the committee of revival and unfinished business, reported sundry resolutions, recommending the further continuance of the following acts, which will expire with the present session, viz. An act in addition to the act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States. An act to prescribe the mode of taking evidence in cases of contested elections for members of the House of Representatives; and to compel the attendance of witnesses. An act to authorise the defence of merchant vessels of the United States against French depredations.
In this report the House concurred. Mr. G. also reported, that it would be advisable further to suspend the operation of the following acts, viz. An act laying an additional duty on salt imported into the United States, and for other purposes; and An act further to suspend the duties on the manufacture of snuff within the United States and of drawback on the exportation thereof.
The consideration of the question on the act laying a duty on salt was postponed till to-morrow, and committed to a committee of the whole House. The second resolution was agreed to. The House again resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill to amend the act providing for the sale of the lands of the United States in the territory N. W. of the Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river; when Mr. Griswold's motion to strike out the first section being under consideration, Messrs. Harrison and J. Brown spoke against it, and Mr. Cooper in favor of it. The motion was at length negatived.
Mr. Harper then moved an amendment, providing that no money should be paid for surveying the lands, until sufficient had been received in the treasury from the sales authorized by the act; which was opposed by Messrs. Griswold and Jackson, as derogatory to the dignity of the government, and was negatived.
Mr. J. Brown then moved to amend the bill by striking out the words "half section" and inserting "quarter sections," so as to have the land surveyed into lots of 160 instead of 320 acres, which was also negatived.
Mr. Claiborne, after having stated to the committee the policy and necessity of granting some indulgence to the intruders on the public lands, moved the following amendment: viz.

PORTLAND, March 20. Arrived at this port, ship Amazon, of Boston, Samuel Trevitt master 114 days from Calcutta. Lately there the following American vessels:—Ship Louisa, Dale, Baltimore; ship India, Ashmead, Philadelphia; ship Criterion, Weeks, do.
Captain Trevitt has politely furnished us with the gazettes of that city as late as November 20. They are mostly occupied with a series of interesting documents found in the palace of the late Tippoo Sultan.—The Asiatic Mirror contains the proclamation of the governor of the Isle of France, wherein he says "we require the tribunals to pronounce the confiscation of all the American vessels which have been or shall be brought into this port, as well as the property with which they are to be laden." Another paper contains a letter from Pondicherry, from which the following are extracted:—"An American prize was captured in the Straights of Sunda, by a small French privateer, with 30 men. She boarded the American, and after fighting three quarters of an hour on her deck she was taken. The American had five men killed, and the French three, besides a great many wounded on both sides. The American had a commission from his government."

MAP OF NEW JERSEY. THE commissioners appointed for the purpose of circulating subscription papers, to the proposed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New Jersey, immediately after their appointment transmitted printed copies of the plan to various persons in the several counties of this state, and in the cities of New York and Philadelphia, and since that time, through the medium of the public prints, have requested the gentlemen entrusted with those papers, to return the number of subscribers by them respectively procured, to James Salter, Esq. at Trenton, on or before the 10th day of February last. The number of subscriptions received, not amounting to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorized to fix a day for the meeting of the company; nevertheless being of opinion from respectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the company, if they could be ascertained by regular returns, and being convinced that a trifling degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the subscribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 14th day of May next, being the 2d day of the sitting of the supreme court, for a meeting of the subscribers at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer, if the number of subscriptions should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to secure the attainment of an object so useful to the state. From the universal approbation exhibited by their fellow-citizens, at the commencement of this undertaking, it was to be expected that the subscriptions returned would have ensured its immediate execution, and the commissioners are persuaded if proper attention is paid to the procuring of subscriptions, to their punctilious return at the time fixed for the meeting, and to the attendance of the subscribers, either in person or by proxy, that no farther delay will take place in commencing the operations of the company, in time for their execution during the course of the ensuing summer.

In compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought reasonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the curiosity of the citizens, by shewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.
