Philadelphia,
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2.
Died on Saturday last, after a short illness, AR-CHIBALD ENGLE, Esq. Deputy Collector of the district of Pennsylvania.
In Saturday's gazette we announced the death of Mr. Kennedy, late Secretary of the Land-Office of this state. Of this gentleman the following notices are a tribute of justice to civic and private merit: Mr. Kennedy died after a few days illness, in the 55th year of his age; upwards of 20 of which he had been in public service. In discharging the duties of his office, Mr. Kennedy was affable, punctual and conscientious. In private life complacency of temper, benevolence of heart, and the circle of Christian virtues, formed the prominent features of his character; and viewed as a husband, father, friend, or faithful servant of the public, his removal from life is a public and private loss. His remains were interred in Arch-street burying ground on Sunday morning, attended by a numerous train of citizens.
Our treaty with Spain was ratified by the king on the 26th April, and the ratification received here last Saturday.
From a Correspondent. SPIRIT OF 1776.
Our Jacobins pretend to feel the spirit of 1776. What was that spirit? It was all pure American, without any adulteration or intermixture with French tafia or democratic whisky. Congress in the declaration of independence spoke the language of Americans—the language of manly good sense and real national dignity. They declare that as to Britain they will, "be enemies in war, in peace friends."
The war whoop Jacobins exclaim, we are enemies to Britain. A friend of Britain is a foe to our liberty and independence. Is this the spirit of '76? No, it is directly contrary. It is the first article of Jacobin duty to be the enemies of Britain in peace. Yet ask them, whether they would go to war with that nation, they say and swear no, no, no. It is truly said of those who will swear that they will ***
The spirit of '76 was patriotic. No country was then loved or respected so much as our own. The Jacobins lately toasted the French constitution and gave nine cheers. To our own they gave only three. Citizen Jacobins, is this like '76?
The spirit of '76 was magnanimous and heroic. We appealed to heaven, and defied the hosts of Britain and her hireling Germans. No one then desponded or shrunk from the crisis. What is the language of the Jacobins at this day? It was France and France alone that won liberty and independence for America.
Our liberty cannot be maintained, if the French are defeated. We must become slaves unless the French hold their conquests of Flanders, Holland and Savoy. Their cause is our cause.
Is this the spirit of '76. No, it is the language of cowards and traitors. It is the language of fugitives from a land of slavery and who bring the spirit of slaves with them. To maintain our liberty we must maintain with the native Americans that we are now infinitely more able in respect to power and resources and not any worse disposed than we were in '76 to maintain our liberty and independence.
The spirit of '76 was really independent. Congress with indignant firmness rejected every attempt of Britain to treat with us as Colonies. But our Jacobins, with the spirit of Colonists, or rather with the dastardly spirit of slaves, reproach our Government with having made a treaty without consulting France, deny the right or propriety of any treaty with her foe, and rejoice to read the miserable insults and threats that are copied from the Paris news-papers, or fabricated in this country.
Take a review of the conduct of our disturbers and it will appear that there is no resemblance between their principles and those of '76 which they affect to hold in veneration. There is a much nearer likeness between the Jacobins and the Tories of '76. The Tories said at that day, America cannot govern herself—she must be dependent on Britain to protect her.
The Jacobins parody this sentiment and exclaim forever, draw close and closer the bands of brotherly union with France. Our liberties depend solely on this union. If France throws us off, we are lost and undone. Our political salvation is staked upon the alliance. Men of '76, if you are not in your graves, are you not angry to hear Jacobins take your names and disgrace them?
Extracts from the AURORA.
Certain violent enemies to the trade of kings think that the French have made an indifferent bargain with their Sardinian majesty; and that he should have been at once turned out of a throne of which his tyrannical government, and the proverbial perfidy of his ancestors have rendered the whole family so remarkably undeserving. The terms of the Treaty, if examined with attention, will justify the French. They are to possess his fortresses till the end of the war, and after that time, till a treaty of commerce is concluded between the parties. We may readily guess what kind of treaty is, under such circumstances, likely to be made. The territories which the French now hold are liable to contributions, till restored; and the mal contents in the royal dominions are to be indemnified. Add to this, that about two fifths of his continental territories are taken from him, and the rest more than half surrounded by the French conquests. It must then be evident that he has paid pretty smartly for his share in the conspiracy of crowned heads; and that he is now but a pageant existing by the indulgence of the Republic.
Buonaparte has begun to collect the paintings of Corregio in order to be transmitted to Paris. It will undoubtedly be stripped of a great part of its paintings, statues, and other valuable monuments of ancient and modern genius. It was thus that the old Romans treated Corinth, Syracuse and Carthage.
The two Republics of Venice and Genoa, lying on the two opposite shores of Italy, are now at the mercy of the French. One of the first steps of the latter will likely be to interdict them from holding any further commerce with England as to
that British trade in the Levant will be cut through the middle.
REMARKS.
THUS we find that the amount of the emancipation and fraternizing of the slaves of despotism, is conquest and plunder. Two fifths of Sardinia are decimated, and the rest more than half surrounded by French Conquests. The paintings and other precious articles are collected and sent to Paris. "It was thus, that the old Romans, [whom all enlightened men have denominated thieves, plunderers and tyrants of the human race,] treated Corinth, Syracuse and Carthage." Carthage! a sister Republic! Carthage who for daring to vie with a "sister Republic," was levelled with the ground, and her citizens consigned to slavery. After all that has been said, nothing is more certain than this, that Republics can hate each other as cordially as kingdoms, and that by whomsoever a nation is overcome, by the same are they brought into bondage.
Is this what Mr. Bache means by the everlasting jargon—the French cause, the cause of Liberty? Is it, pray tell us Mr. Bache; is it our cause, or the cause of Liberty, that the French should plunder the paintings of Milan, the silver vases of Rome, or break open the banks of Genoa or Venice? It is the cause of Liberty that every one should have his own.
From the Courier Francaise.
From France we learn, that there are on the stocks, in the several ports of the republic, 19 ships of war, which will be soon ready for sea, for the utmost activity is used in the construction of them. The government has purchased at Hamburg, ship timber to the amount of ten millions, which they paid in ready money. It appears, that France having subdued the continental powers, means to turn its attention to England; and that power will not escape if France seriously wishes her own destruction.
Further accounts from the ARGUS.
Defeat of the Austrians.
New-York, Monday. WE have taken much fruitless pains to find out the result of the late battle between the Austrians and the French. We are informed they contain some interesting matters of the progress of General Buonaparte in Italy, who was approaching Rome with rapid strides. We cannot learn whether minute relations respecting the northern army are contained in them: Paris was tranquil, as were the principal towns in France, and plenty abounded.
OF THE BATTLE ON THE RHINE.
A passenger relates that there was but one battle, that this one battle lasted two days, and that it terminated in favor of the French, by a complete REPOSSESSION of those important posts which General Jourdan left in his retreat last campaign. This information was received at Nantes, from Paris, on the 18th June—and as the post from Paris to Nantes goes in three days, the Paris accounts which are said to contain this information were probably of June 15, three days later than the papers said to have been received by the Fair American, and now in the hands of the Editor of the Daily Gazette.
Some of the passengers (which are 41 in number) aver, with bitterness of soul, that the Jacobins (doubtless meaning the republican revolutionists) have too much the lead in France: and they doubtless expect here, to find a government more congenial to their wishes. The royalists and chovans have been almost subdued.
To-morrow we hope to be able to give some extracts from the Paris papers.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES No. IV.
THAT the business of devising and carrying in to execution a public plan for the general diffusion of learning among the citizens of this Commonwealth is arduous and attended with peculiar difficulties, the slow progress made in the attempt at two sessions of the legislature, seems abundantly to prove. Since the project was first started in Pennsylvania, the government of New-York has originated and completed a system, which is now in operation.
It is confessed that there are difficulties to be encountered in this state, which do not perhaps present themselves in so formidable a shape in any other part of the Union. They are however of a temporary kind, and must from the nature of things give way to the assimilating force of a system which will promote the good of the whole, and be considered as an unsurmountable obstacle to the institution of the United States that embrace many various interests, which it was impossible to adapt to the laws and regulations growing out of the system to the views, wishes, feelings and interests of a people so divided by habits, and local prejudices. Events have shewn how little foundation there was for such apprehensions.
The people of this commonwealth may be divided into four great classes—native Americans, German and Irish settlers, and Quakers. I mention the last as a class, because tho' composed of native Americans, they form a very distinct body from the others, in relation to the subject under consideration. With respect to the first class there will be no difficulty—they so justly appreciate the benefits of education, that an institution which shall extend them equally to all the children of the commonwealth will receive their support almost universally. The Irish settlers will also be found cordial friends to the plan—they realize that the oppressions they suffered in their native country are principally to be attributed to the gross ignorance in which the land-owners keep the body of the people.
I have heard of some objections on the part of the Germans; they arise from the same source with those which have been urged by the Quakers. These two descriptions of citizens, too much under the influence of what the French term l'Esprit du Corps , justly estimating the immense importance of education, have formed extensive establishments for the advantage of their respective denominations.
These establishments are supported by what is called a voluntary expence. They are exclusive in their nature, being confined to the children of those particular descriptions. They say that a law which should compel them to contribute to support schools from which they derive no immediate advantage is unjust. That it will eventually undermine and destroy their particular seminaries, in which alone, their religious principles allow them to educate their
children. How far the last idea applies to the Germans I will not say; but with respect to the Quakers it is considered of great importance. To these objections may be added a great variety of a solitary complexion, entertained by individuals according to their circumstances, situations and habits of thinking. Persons of fortune, and some without, who have no children—bachelors, cynics and philosophers without souls—these object to being taxed for the support of institutions from which they say, they derive no immediate advantage—some contend that the poor ought to be ignorant—that learning makes them idle, vicious and proud. Of this last description, thank God, our country is disgraced by very few examples.
I proposed in this number to have suggested the methods which appeared necessary to be adopted on the part of the people to obtain justice in this interesting business. The preceding sketch having already exceeded the prescribed limits, the subject will be taken up in my next. Meantime, it is submitted, whether these objections, formidable as they are, (and I think they cannot be placed in a much stronger point of light) ought to arrest for one moment, the progress of a plan on which the freedom and happiness of this great, and rapidly increasing commonwealth are suspended? The objections to be noticed in a future number. E.

Mr. RUSSELL,
J. TESCHEMAKER, Esq. of Essequebo, now resident in this town, having been confined by one of the inferior officers of the British forces in that colony, was liberated by Col. Hislop, the commanding officer. Justice is due to all men; and as an evidence of the gentleman-like conduct of Col. Hislop, you are desired to insert the enclosed in the Centinel. Yours, J. C.
To JOHN CROYDON, Esq.
Starbuck, June 5, 1796.
Sir,
I avail myself of the earliest moment to inform you of the result of my conversation with the Governor, relative to the arrestation of Messrs. Teschemaker and Dekoker. The circumstances which it appears attended that of the first mentioned gentleman, are of a nature which could not fail to impress me with the deepest concern; and it is my particular wish in having the pleasure to accede to your desire for his immediate enlargement, he may be perfectly assured thereof. The measure was wholly without my knowledge, being absent at the time on the east coast when it was adopted; and had I thought it requisite to consider Mr. Teschemaker, under the description of a disaffected person to the British government, I should not have forgotten the delicacy which is due to one of his property and consideration, in the execution of my orders. Harsh or abrupt measures will never be permitted, far less countenanced by me; and you may be assured, Sir, that I have too just a sense of my duty, and too highly value the British name, to treat with severity, or the least improperly, those whom I am sent in its name to defend; trusting always, that their affection will fully entitle them to the courteous protection of their king. I beg that these sentiments may be fully explained and understood. They will ever be found to be the sole regulator of my conduct in the discharge of the duties of my situation. I could wish that some enquiries were made into the circumstances of the outrage alleged against Mr. Dekoker. In the mean time he is also at liberty.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant, THOMAS HISLOP, Lt. Col. Commanding.
In a letter to Mr. Teschemaker, Col. H. says, that he had learnt, with concern, that he had experienced a degree of severity and harshness, from a Mr. Hamett, who was sent with a detachment of troops to arrest him. "I wish," adds the Colonel, "you may be convinced such conduct has merited my utmost displeasure, and will ever be wholly unauthorised and discountenanced by me; and I am equally persuaded that the officer who sent the detachment, never had an idea, that the duty it was to perform, would have been fulfilled by the proceedings of the persons before mentioned. You are at liberty, Sir, to return to your family, and may there remain without molestation."

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 7.
The King v. Ryd Wake.
The Attorney General moved for the judgment of the court on the defendant.
Mr. Justice Ashhurst pronounced sentence as follows—
"RYD WAKE, You have been tried and found guilty upon an indictment that has been preferred against you, which states, that on the 29th of October, in the 36th year of his present majesty's reign, his majesty was going to the House of Peers to meet his Parliament; and that you, being a person of an evil disposition, and also a great number of others, being persons of violent and seditious minds and disaffected to his majesty, and intending to break and disturb the peace, and to insult and vilify our lord the king, and to move and incite his majesty's subjects to hatred and contempt of his majesty, did, for the purposes aforesaid, unlawfully and riotously meet together to disturb the peace of our lord the king, and assembled round his coach, and made a very great riot, tumult and disturbance, by hissing, hooting and groaning, and used divers indecent, contemptuous and disorderly gestures; and did riotously, tumultuously and seditionally use and proclaim aloud the following scandalous words— No War—Down with George—No George , and did for a long time continue thus riotously assembled, and committing the same outrages."
"Upon this indictment you have been found guilty on very full and clear evidence. This insult, which you have offered to your sovereign, is of a very flagitious and atrocious nature, and shews a very bad and malignant heart. Indeed, if there had been any wish to stretch the laws to their utmost rigour, it may be doubtful, whether the crime of which you have been guilty might not have amounted to a crime of a much deeper die; for it
has a manifest tendency to withdraw the affection of his majesty's subjects from their lawful sovereign, and to excite the mob to disaffection and rebellion. This is the return you have made for the protection you have enjoyed under the auspicious government of the best of kings, and under the mildest and most excellent system of laws. I would have you remember, that there is perhaps no other kingdom in the world, where, for such an offence, the offender's life would not have paid the forfeit. In the affidavit which you read, in mitigation of punishment, when you were last brought into court, you endeavored to shew that the contemptuous gestures and behaviour imputed to you towards his majesty, were owing to your short-sightedness, and that your eagerness to gratify your curiosity in seeing his majesty, occasioned those involuntary distortions of the countenance, which might be construed into contemptuous gestures. This does not seem to be very natural. But supposing it were the fact, your zeal and eagerness to see the king did not necessarily occasion your uttering the words imputed to you, namely,— Down with George—no George—no War . And yet these words are sworn by two witnesses to have been spoken by you, and often repeated. And even you yourself do not dare upon oath to deny the speaking of them. You have not dared to swear that you did never utter these words; but you say it can never be thought that you should speak them. This is a very singular way of denying them."
"You have said further, that none of these words have been proved to be spoken by you. What your idea of proof is, I do not pretend to know, but this I know, that two persons have concurred in positively swearing that you did speak these words; and the Court and Jury are equally satisfied that you did."
"You next urge as a matter of compassion, that you are a married man, and that you and your wife depend on your daily labour for support. It would have been well if that thought had influenced your mind before you committed the flagitious act proved upon you. One is sorry that it is not the innocent to suffer with the guilty. That, however, will sometimes necessarily happen in the course of human events, but the claims of your country have a much louder call than those of any individual whatever; and I hope when you think hereafter on the misery you have brought on your innocent family, by your own misconduct, that it will operate as a check to restrain you from future mischief, and will likewise be a warning to the rest of the world."
"It now becomes my duty to pronounce the sentence of the Court; which is, that you be committed to the custody of the keeper of the Pleasantry house in and for the county of Gloucester, and be kept to hard labour for the space of five years; and within the first three months of that time, that you stand in and upon the pillory for one hour, between the hours of eleven and two o'clock in the afternoon, in some public street in Gloucester, on a market day; and that you give sureties in 1000. for your good behaviour for the term of ten years to be computed from the expiration of the said five years; and that you be further imprisoned till you find the said sureties."

Bennington, July 6, 1796.
Description of a newly discovered Cavern, on the North-East end of Mount Anthony, in this town.
Some time last year a hole was discovered in the side of the west mountain in Bennington, usually called Mount Anthony, situated on the east side, near the north end of the mountain, large enough to admit with some difficulty, the body of a man, widening in its descent, and apparently of considerable depth, as was judged by the dropping of stones, &c. into it. After a while some men ventured down by the means of ropes, as far as the first landing from the mouth; when from the dropping of water, &c. within, which sounded loud and hollow, they supposed the Cavern to be considerably spacious. In the course of the last spring, an hospital for the small-pox being fixed in a house in the vicinity of the mountain, several of the infected visited the cave, when by the help of lights, they explored the first apartment, and found a partition wall reaching from the top to within six inches of bottom. By listening at this aperture, the sound of the dropping of water within, gave the idea that a much larger room than that explored lay beyond, which would afford a striking view, if possible to get into it. This induced numbers, and among others the editor of this Gazette to visit it, having previously provided themselves with necessary implements to remove obstructions: at this period the mouth of the Cavern was about eighteen inches by two feet over, with the limb of a tree fixed for a medium of descent to the first landing, which is about fifteen feet perpendicular from the mouth, widening as it descends. By a pocket compass it appeared, that the direction of the Cavern was from hence, about two points south of west. A pretty quick descent of about eight feet led to a narrow passage of near twenty-four feet in length, the roof in some places lofty, in others so low as to occasion a man to stoop. Here the partition before mentioned is situated, and was found to be too hard to be wrought on with the bar or a hand sledge. With these implements however, and the addition of a hoe, a passage under the partition was dug in about an hour, sufficient to admit a man to crawl through on his belly, and in that manner the first company past. Here an arched concave is situated, of irregular form, and in the loftiest point, which was ascended to with difficulty, with the help of a sapling pruned of its limbs, thirty-five feet high. The whole length of this apartment is fifty-five feet, its breadth irregular, from that of a large room to a six feet entry, its direction nearly north and south. To explore the Cavern further, it is here necessary to ascend to a projection of the side rocks of the passage, about ten feet, eight high from whence two holes were found nearly large enough to admit a man's head when first discovered and separated by a large stone pillar about four inches diameter. By holding a candle through one and looking through the other, another spacious room or cavity was discovered, with an arched entry at the end of it: after about an hour's labour with

the bar and sledge, one of the holes was rendered so much larger than when discovered, as to admit a small man to crowd through, and with a little further exertion and considerable difficulty of passage, the whole company that first discovered it crowded through. Immediately after passing this strait, a bell shaped apartment presents itself, the roof in the highest altitude forty feet at least, or fifty from the floor of the other apartment. This room is twenty-four feet long, and at the end, in a direction a little northward of west, has a narrow low passage, of about four or five feet, through which the company crawled to another apartment, about twenty-four feet in length, beyond which there is a covered way of seventeen feet, which terminates the Cave.
The curiosities exhibited by the different degrees of petrification, baffle description. The walls are in many places as smooth as polished marble, and shine as if encrusted with ice; in many places the appearance of flowing curtains, folded below, appear peculiarly magnificent. In others curious fret-work and etchings of various kinds present to view; in every apartment pipes or tubes resembling icicles hang from the roof and juttings, of every length and size, from the eighth of an inch or two inches or more diameter, and from three inches to three feet long, the lesser for perfectly hollow, the larger very porous, and hard in proportion to size. At the end of many of them the pendant drops of water, from the reflection of the lights, presented a lustre equal to the brilliancy of a diamond.
The tracks of some animal or other was thought to be perceived on a bank of fine clay in the Cavern, and the entire skull-bone of some small creature most probably of the squirrel kind, was found in the third apartment, on the first visit to it, but no part of the Cave appears to be the residence of any living creature at present.
The foregoing is given from recollection, and may possibly be correct; a fuller or more correct account would be received with thanks, and handed to the public.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, August 1. ACTION ON THE RHINE.
We have not been able to trace the accounts on this subject to any thing farther than the report of Capt. Glad, as stated in our last. Letters from Paris, as late as the 12th of June, we are informed, say nothing respecting such intelligence. Our papers (The Courier L'Egalite) are not later than those by the Brisels.
Translated for the New-York Gazette. Friday evening arrived at this port, the ship Fair American, Captain Glad, in 41 days from Nantz.—The Editor has been favoured with a regular file of Paris papers from May 20, to June 12. (which is several days later than the accounts by the Brisels)—Extracts follow:
PARIS, June 10.—LONDON, May 23. There is at present a considerable fermentation here. The Minister is much disconcerted by the prodigious success of the army of Italy.—We are apprehensive of seeing England soon abandoned even by Austria, and obliged to sustain alone the Burden of the War, which will become more formidable, as the French will be able to apply their whole industry and resources to the encroaching of their navy.
Such is the uncertainty of events, that the funds have fallen within 3 days from 66 1/2 to 60 per cent.
A period like the present is not likely to secure to the Court, elections in favour of Mr. Pitt—What is still more embarrassing to him, is that the Bank has just refused him 1,000,000. to supply his present wants.
THE KING OF GREAT-BRITAIN'S PROCLAMATION, for dissolving the present Parliament, and calling a new one.
GEORGE REX,
Having thought it proper, with the advice of our Privy Council, to dissolve the present Parliament, which remains now prorogued to the 5th of July next, we have for this effect made public this our Royal Proclamation; and the said Parliament is hereby dissolved. The Lords spiritual and temporal, Knights, Citizens and Burgesses, and the Representatives for Counties and Boroughs, are therefore excused from meeting on Tuesday the 5th of July. It being our desire and resolution to meet our people and have their advice in Parliament as soon as possible: We hereby make known to all our loving subjects, our royal will and pleasure, to convoke a new Parliament; declaring also, that by the advice of our Privy Council, we have this day given orders to our Chancellor of G. Britain, to expedite writs in form for calling a new Parliament, to bear date the 21st of May inst. and be of force on Tuesday the 12th of July next.
God save the King.
The Coach in which his Majesty rode to the House of Peers, was a sort of moveable fortress, constructed in a manner sufficient to resist every species of attack, and so hermetically closed up, as to conceal the Monarch from the view of his faithful subjects.
The King has created fifteen new Peers, and two Earls—Admiral Hood and Bridport are in the number of the first.
The Compiler of the "L'Ami de Lois," who would be happy in effecting a revolution in the Island of Malta, is much aided by the French government's suffering a diplomatic Agent to reside at Paris, from the Grand-Master of the order of Malta.
Mr. Ochs, Tribune of the state of Basle, is just arrived here; he comes in behalf of the Council of that Canton, to confer with the Directory on the subjects which have lately in some degree disturbed the harmony which the Helvetic body, and particularly the Canton of Basle, with to preserve with the French republic. Mr. Ochs is esteemed a man of good sense, prudence, and intelligence, and well acquainted with the interests of his Country. He is to be introduced to the Directory to day, and we have reason to think the clouds which have arisen on this subject, will be easily dissipated, by their mutual, candid, and amicable explanations. A circumstance which confirms this
prediction, is the recall of Baffal, formerly rector of Versailles, and hitherto entrusted with a mission to Basle, in consequence of that fatal system which attracted the first measures of government; his deposition has been announced in the public papers prematurely, as it is only a few days since he was positively recalled. Baffal was holding committees with the ci-devant Marquis de Potera, Lebrun, his secretary, formerly sworn of the Revolutionary Tribunal, and a certain ex-conventional serjeant, whose name is pretty well known. It appears that the effect of these meetings has been to create distrust and doubt in our government, of the intentions of the Swiss.
It now appears that this jealousy was unjust and ill founded; and we have a right to hope, that by reducing to nothing the authors and contrivers of such dangerous plots, the ties of friendship and good neighbourhood between the two republics, will be strengthened in a manner not to be broken. We already know that the Canton of Schwitz, yielding to the votes of the majority of the Cantons, has consented to acknowledge the French Republic.
Extract of Gen. Jourdon's answer to the Arch Duke Charles, taken from the Journal of Anvers.
"Butchers, you wish then for more human blood? Well, monster, against my will I will cause it to be shed—I will only attack you once—but the valour of Frenchmen will strike with astonishment the four quarters of the world—you shall pay to the troops, whom I command, the tribute of your barbarity."
This highflown message has too much the appearance of boasting to induce us to believe it General Jourdon's. It is neither the style nor the thought of a commander, confident of his own courage and the valor of his troops—it is the gigantic bombast of a Babbler, endeavouring to inspire terror by empty threats. When Darius went to enter Scythia, the King of the Barbarians sent him five arrows, a frog, a mouse and a bird; an answer which the great king found terrible; had he written him a letter, says Rousseau, the more threatening it had been, the less would Darius have been afraid; he would only have laughed at it.
The Arch Duke Charles would no doubt have laughed at being treated as a butcher by the General of a nation, which may be reproached with having shed but too much blood. Those who gallantly fight us in arms are not butchers, they are our enemies: let us be satisfied with conquering them, and let us not insult them.—It would appear that our Generals have not so good secrets as soldiers.

ITALY.
ROME, May 14. Four Plenipotentiaries of his Holiness, accompanied by the Spanish Ambassador, have just set out from here. It is presumed two of them are going to Paris to negotiate a peace—the two others to treat with General Buonaparte for a suspension of arms. The last are the Senator Rezzonico, and Marquis Malini. His holiness has issued an edict forbidding any emigration from his dominions—Every hour some couriers arrive here; they are sent by the governors of the towns on the frontiers, and the senators and magistrates of different provinces, to receive the Pope's orders respecting the conduct they are to observe in the present critical situation of Italy. The Senate held on the 10th, a meeting at Bologna; but what was resolved, is not yet known. On the 12th, the Senators Malvagia and Caprara, and the Consul of the Senate, Pistorini, set out in a carriage with four horses—they took the road to Modena, probably to meet the French general. A Courier was at the same time despatched to Rome to the Ambassador of the Senate, who immediately had a long audience with the Pope.
SWITZERLAND.
FRIEBURG, May 23. Extract of a Dispatch from Field Marshal Count de Wurmsfer, to the Helvetic Body at Basle.
GENTLEMEN, "Your answer of the 26th April, is by no means calculated to remove my uneasiness respecting the preservation of the line of Neutrality; my suspicions are so much the more grounded, that since that time, I have learnt the French have formed a camp in the environs of Brudruth, without your having desired, any way to oppose it. The important post I am entrusted with, obliges me to require for my own security, other guarantees besides writings; for the enemy in the enthusiasm of their success in Italy, will soon think themselves allowed, if it favours their design, to break the neutrality, especially when there will be no other barrier to oppose them but indeterminate words. I therefore request you gentlemen, and for the last time, to gather on the frontiers means sufficient to repulse force by force; without which I shall take all the severe measures which circumstances will require."
Extract of a letter from Basle, May 28.
"Our situation becomes every day more and more alarming; the troops which our Cantons have sent, are returning in great numbers into our city; which has rendered it necessary to form three Camps in the environs."
"The Magistrate in compliance with Field Marshal Wurmsfer's request, has sent an express to the French General, to desire him not to go beyond the limits of their Frontiers, that hostilities might be avoided; The Swiss being constrained to oppose the most active resistance to the least insult. The French Generals returned a very polite answer, at firing the Helvetic Body, they might rely on the strict observance of the neutrality; that those collections of men had no other end in view than to prevent smuggling, and cause the imposts to be regularly paid on that frontier."
P. S. As the Courier departs, the Mail from Italy arrives—Report circulates, that the city of Mantua has surrendered to the French, by capitulation.
Translated for the Daily Advertiser.
HAGUE, April 26.
A note from the minister of Portugal was yesterday read in the Convention, in which, after having
thanked the Convention for assistance which had been given to a Portuguese vessel, he observes, that it is the wish of his court to preserve the good understanding which at present subsists between it and our republic. We have seen with pleasure the court of Lisbon thus recognizing our government.
It is a matter of astonishment, that Spain, after having drawn Portugal into the coalition against France, by obliging it to furnish a contingent of troops, should have concluded a peace with that Republic, without including in it her ally and relation, by which inattention, the commerce of Portugal has been subjected to frequent losses, several of her merchantmen having been captured by the French. The court is properly punished for having entered into a coalition from which it could not have promised itself any particular advantage. Such is the gratitude of the great.
May 8.
The sittings of the Batavian National Assembly, have been for these some days past very important. Several motions were made tending to augment the powers of the assembly, and to regulate the mode of convoking it. The business has been referred to a committee for examination. Difficulties relative to the arming of the citizens, occasioned a sitting of seven hours on the 6th inst. The arming has been decreed, there is in consequence, an address to the Batavian nation, and letters to the constituted authorities upon the same subject.
May 15.
The Batavian National Assembly has been a long time engaged upon two important questions.
1st. Whether Bourdonville should have the command of the Batavian army agreeably to the article of the treaty, which declares that the commissioned officers of the two Republics should be commanded by a French General.
2d. Whether the combined army should be immediately put in motion. The latter proposition was decreed in the sitting of the 12th of May.
The French Republic, Noel, has been appointed to the Batavian Convention. He informs them that the Prussian minister complained of some privateers fitted out on the Eems, an English vessel, and that hostility, as a violation of the neutral territory. The note has been sent to the commission of foreign affairs.
Upon a report from the commissions of confederation and of foreign affairs united, it was proposed to the Convention to decree that the army of the state, when in the field, should be under the command of General Bourdonville, who might at all times march them where he thought proper, he giving an account of his operations to the committee of confederation, to whom also he should apply for supplies for the troops. The discussion was postponed until to-morrow.
May 25.
The day before yesterday, the Batavian National Assembly had an election for a new President, for the succeeding fortnight. There appeared a majority in favour of Citizen Rutger John Schimmelpenninck, deputy from one of the departments of the city of Amsterdam. His predecessor, D. C. De Leuw, could not complete his term on account of an extreme indisposition, his duties were performed by the last President, Bicker, who at the sitting of the 12th of May, had the satisfaction to find his conduct of the preceding night approved of by a very large majority.
The question was respecting a disturbance or armed insurrection, which had taken place in the city of Amsterdam: and also respecting the measures taken under the direction of the President of the National Assembly, for the re-establishment of order in the city.
A part of the cannoniers of the city militia had committed such excesses in knocking down the citizens, and in other violences, that the municipal authority had, by an ordinance published the 10th of May, directed them to be disbanded; the consequence was, that the same cannoniers to the number of 300 collected together, entered the city-hotel, forced the Council Chamber, threatened the members, and above all, put the President's life in danger, refusing all obedience to the constituted authorities. They broke open the prison, and took from thence two prisoners belonging to the city-hotel, who had been confined there some months, one of whom was mortally wounded a peace-maker.
They also broke open the house of a citizen, released a former member of a commission, and imprisoned for disturbing the peace, one of the city-hotel, and also a part of the city-hotel, having refused to suppress the disorders, under these circumstances some members of the municipality of Amsterdam, went to demand a military force, to prevent the destruction of public order with which the city was threatened; the provincial administration of Holland, to whom belonged the right of disposing of the troops in its jurisdiction, for the preservation of peace and the suppression of insurrections and revolts, applied to the president for his consent, to employ on this pressing occasion a part of the garrison of the Hague, for without the advice of the President of the National Assembly, this could not be done.
The President gave his consent, and rendered an account of his conduct at the opening of the sittings. Citizen Vreede, Valences and some others, wished to throw a censure upon the President, giving as their reasons among others, that the civil broils and contests of citizens, were not to be suppressed by a military force. This was not the tenor of a majority of the assembly; they agreed that the principle of the constitution, and under which the president acted, applied like the one under consideration, to a case where the lives of the constituted authorities had been put in the most imminent danger by an armed force. A majority of 69 to 27, fully justified the conduct of the president who, during a long and animated discussion, preserved his place with the greatest composure, and only replied a few words at the moment they were proceeding to take the question.
SAVANNAH, July 15.
WE promised our readers in our last, some particulars on the subject of the failure of the late treaty. The Indians we are informed were prejudiced in the nation against the disposal of the lands, by
some unfriendly persons; and reports declared to them among a variety of others, that they were to encounter the Georgia militia when they came down to treat. Whether this was the reason or not, of certain regulations of the Federal commissioners, we cannot say; but by those regulations, the commissioners of the state were forbidden to enter the Indian encampment, or hold conversations with them, without the passport or permit of one of the commissioners of the United States; and a small militia guard, which the Executive had ordered for the protection of the Indian articles, procured by the state, for the purposes of the treaty, were forbidden landing with their arms, although within the actual limits and ordinary jurisdiction of the state—at which offence was taken by the state commissioners, as infringing the rights and lessening the consequence of the state, and debarring the commissioners from the means of conciliating the affection of the Indians, and thereby procuring the object of their mission. It also appears that the place for the talks was at first within the garrison of Coleraine, but was afterwards altered to Muscogee, within the Indian encampment, where the commissioners of Georgia had no access, without a permit from one of the Federal commissioners, and to which it seems, our state commissioners did not condescend thinking it beneath the dignity of the state, to request. The Indians drew up their talk in writing, in the absence of the state commissioners, at Muscogee, and did not deliver it viâ voce , as is ever usual among the Indians, but delivered it through the Commissioners of the United States; although the next day, they gave a talk viâ voce , to the commissioners of the United States, in answer to the President's invitation.
The Indians in their answer to the talk of Georgia, refuse to give up their lands, in another effort made by the commissioners of Georgia, they were stopped by the Federal piquet; and after reaching Muscogee, under the auspices of a Federal officer, and entering on the subject of the purchase, they were told by Aleck Cornels, a chief in the Creek Nation, and one of the United States Interpreters, that it was useless to say any more about the land; that they came determined not to part with it, and that they did not want to hear any more about it. This the Birdtail King afterwards confirmed, declaring that their refusal was fixed on in the nation. The commissioners of this state have, we are told, in consequence, protested against the proceedings of the commissioners of the United States, and the superintendent of Indian affairs; and have further protested against the payment or liability of payment by the state of Georgia, of any share of the expense attending the treaty, as not having had a fair, open, and honorable opportunity of purchase from the Indians.
It is said the law of the United States, inserted in this day's paper, for regulating trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, arrived at Coleraine during the treaty, and was very forcibly explained by the Commissioners of the United States. Had the Indians been disposed to cede their lands prior thereto, this law was sufficient to make them retract.
We hope our citizens will endeavor to preserve peace and harmony, by respecting the laws of the United States; but how far the frailties of human nature will permit our citizens on the frontier to refrain from crossing the line after their own property, and perhaps even in their own view, in protection of their own property, when that property may be the only negro, or only plough-horse, and of course the only dependence of a poor man, with a numerous family for their subsistence; or how far they will permit his neighbours quietly to behold this industrious man's being confined in a Federal Garrison, and carried to North or South-Carolina for trial remains yet in embryo.

Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then adequate, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock."

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the snore suspension indispensable.
