Is there an American, young or old, not interested in the History of the first Rise and Progress of his native Country, and from so celebrated a pen as that of Doctor Robertson?
Just Published, AND TO BE SOLD BY JAMES HUMPHREYS, No. 59, South Third Street, opposite the Bank of the United States. (Price one dollar neatly bound and lettered, in boards, six shillings.) Dr. Robertson's History of (BRITISH) AMERICA, Containing The history of Virginia to the year 1685, and the history of New-England to the year 1622, being what the Doctor had completed previous to his death. It has lately been given to the public with a preface by his son at Edinburgh, has already passed through three or four editions, and has been translated and published in French at Paris.
Mr. Robertson in his preface observes, "During the course of tedious illness, which he early foreknew would have a fatal termination, Dr. Robertson at different times destroyed many of his papers. But after his death, I found that part of the History of (British) America which he had written many years before, and which is now offered to the public. It is written with his own hand as all his works were; it is as carefully corrected as any part of his manuscripts which I have ever seen; and he had thought it worthy of being preserved, as it escaped the flames to which so many other papers had been committed. I read it with the utmost attention; but, before I came to any resolution about the publication, I put the MSS. into the hands of some of those friends whom my father used to consult on such occasions, as it would have been rashness and presumption in me, to have trusted to my own partial decision. It was perused by some other persons also, in whose taste and judgment I have the greatest confidence: by all of them I was encouraged to offer it to the public, as curious and interesting in itself, and not inferior to any of my father's other works." The Editor of the Paris Edition apologizes for the above work in the following manner. "Every thing ensures success to this volume. The talents and reputation of the author, and the impression till recent in the minds of all who have read the excellent work of which this is the completion—all conspire to give it an extensive spread. The history of America was the matter-piece of one of the two ablest, or rather one of the two only modern historians. He has created this part of history, distinguished this chaos of the New World, distinguished with the hand of a master the part of genius, fortune, courage and crime, and conque- red it as it were, America, for literary, commercial, and political Europe." To ensure this last volume circulation, it is necessary only to name its author, and to remark, it possesses all that acuteness of observation, that perspicuity of expression, the art of relating events to causes, and of mingling with the account of events, the wholesome and most approved principles of morals and politics, for which this writer was so eminently conspicuous. In short, that it exhibits the talents of Robertson.

CONTINUATION OF Late Foreign Articles VIA BALTIMORE. Translations from Hamburg papers to December 8.
HAMBURG, December 8. Extract of a letter from the Hague, Nov. 24. The new and so much talked of conspiracy against the present order of things, has at last been discovered. The conspirators did not only intend to abolish the existing government, the directory, and the popular representatives, and to introduce the system of terror, but to unite with the Brabant insurgents. But our vigilant government frustrated their designs, and in the evening of the 19th inst., at 11 o'clock, the following persons were apprehended in the house of citizen Voorladt, by order of the minister of the police, viz. D. Hoistma, member of the 2d chamber—P. Grovenevold, residing here—A. Voogd, of Shiedam, late a member of the constitutional assembly—F. W. M. Ruijsch, late mayor of the city of Delt—Veller, late member of the court of justice at Friesland—Kaltener and Romyn, residing at Amsterdam, with the above named citizen Voorladt.—The latter was again set at liberty."
RASTADT, November 22. The late report that France had ceded the island of Buderich to Prussia is not yet confirmed; and it would seem as if these powers were rather inclined to take a greater distance from each other, than to draw their political ties closer.
VIENNA, November 28. Some days since, a courier arrived here from one of the most powerful of the German courts, whose dispatches are of the utmost consequence. We are assured, that in case France does not moderate her demands touching the interest of the German empire and other states, the coalition will receive a great addition. The king of Naples has arrived at his army at Garmano, 5 leagues from Naples, whence he sent a letter to cardinal Albani, inviting him to that place. It is said that the intention of the court of Naples is to have the pope re-inflated in his former dignity. Several of the knights of Malta have gone to Syracuse, in order to go to Malta by the first favorable opportunity, to put themselves at the head of the insurgents there. The marquis of Nissa, comodore of the Portuguese squadron, is at Naples. The several columns of the Russian troops on their march, are to unite themselves at Crens, it is said, where our emperor will review them. On the 15th of October, several flight shocks of an earthquake were felt. The two principal difficulties which render the continuation of peace precarious, are the Roman republic and the innovations in Switzerland. Both these points, it is asserted, must be relinquished by France to preserve peace.
ITALY, November 20. General Championet is collecting an army of 60,000 men in the Roman republic, against Naples. The dey of Algiers, agreeably to orders from the Porte, has commanded his corsairs to capture all French vessels they may meet with.
ITALY, November 14. On the 14th anniversary of the French republic, Buonaparte issued a proclamation to his army from Cairo, in which he recounts his exploits during the last five years, and tells them, that those of which they have actually begun to execute are more remarkable than all the preceding ones, and that all nations now direct their eyes towards them. "Warriors!" says he, "your destination is elevated—You will fall with renown, like the heroes whose names are engraved on this pyramid; or, you will return into your mother country covered with wreaths of laurels. This day, 40 millions, of citizens think of you."
BASIL, November 21. The king of Spain has acknowledged the Helvetic republic, and appointed the chevalier Caomano as his minister plenipotentiary to it, who had his first audience from our directory at Lucerne on the 15th instant. The enrolment of the young men and the taxes have occasioned disturbance in several parts of the canton of Bern. The liberty-trees were cut down, public officers expelled their offices, &c. French troops are now quartered in those places. Many young men enroll themselves among foreign troops or emigrate.
VIENNA, November 24. Several British frigates have appeared in the Adriatic sea, for the purpose of cutting off the communication between Ancona and the French Venetian islands. The Russian and Turkish fleets, consisting of 16 ships of war, are before Corfu, and have already commenced to bombard the city of Butrinto. The French force on the island is 3000 men.
HAMBURG, December 4. The Paris journals of the 23d November contain a memorial, which the consulate at Rome issued on the 8th November to the French commissaries there, which is viewed as the manifesto of the Roman republic against the king of Naples.
PARIS, November 25. Citizen Suard, commander of a French transport, who sailed from Alexandria the 11th October, and arrived at Naples the 7th November, informs, that at that time the army in Egypt was in the best condition; that it had provisions in abundance; that the best understanding existed between the French and the Egyptians; that both parties were inspired by the same enthusiasm for Buonaparte; that the Mamelucks were far reduced, that there was no more said about them; that from the 4th to the 6th of October, three beys had joined Buonaparte, among whom was that of Alexandria, and who had furnished him with a considerable
received with acclamations of joy by the people. He has had several conferences with the emperor and some of the most favored foreign ministers. The first objects to which he will pay attention, and in which the emperor has already acquiesced, are 1st, The war against the French shall be vigorously prosecuted—2dly, To advise such measures as that the war with Pashwan Oglou may be brought to the most speedy termination. The Porte has received no late advices from Egypt. But the beys have declared, that they will not abate in their hostility until they, in conjunction with the Turkish forces, reconquered their country. Alexandria and other Egyptian ports are continually blockaded by the British. It is expected that the division of the Russian and Turkish fleets which failed hence on the 22d October, must by this time have arrived before Alexandria."
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, Nov. 24. According to the latest advices from Brussels, the insurgents have made their escape from that city. If they had not left the place, it was intended to have set fire to it. One side of the city was overflowed by the Danube, and as the French troops had not possession of this post, they found means to get off by wading through the water, on which occasion several hundred were drowned. The garrison of Maastricht took from the insurgents 3 field pieces and a stand of colors. The remainder of the rebels of Diest are wholly destroyed. The rebels carried to France are to be sent to America. In the territory of Luxembourg skirmishes take place daily, and much blood is spilt on both sides. General Colland commands all the troops on the Brabant coast as far as Gravelines."
Extract of a letter from Vienna, Nov. 21. The divan of Constantinople, it is said, have resolved to declare war against the Batavian republic, in which case its effects in Turkey would meet with the same fate as those of the French. But the latest advices from thence mention no such proceeding."
Accounts from Palermo, of October 18, say that the French garrison in La Vilette on Malta, saluted forth several hundred men, but the Maltese being ambushed, the French got between two fires, and after a hard fought battle, in which even the former lost one hundred men, the latter were entirely cut down. On the 17th October, agreeably to orders from admiral Nelson, four English frigates failed from the harbor of Trappani in Sicily, to reinforce the squadron before Malta, and sent orders to the Portuguese commodore to bombard that part of the island in the possession of the French. A Danish ship laden with 120 oxen and provisions, and sent by the bey of Tripoli to Malta, was, on her return captured by the Portuguese squadron and carried to Syracuse.
The French navy at Alexandria consists of the Cause and Dubois of 64 and 65 guns—8 frigates, la Junon, le Cacher, le Mignon, of 40 guns, Alceste, la Couragieuse, la Montagne, le Leoben, and le Montenotte—total of their complements, 3458 men. Also, of 4 brigs, le Rivoli, la Salomine, l'Alerte, le Lodi—3 bomb ketches, la Borreguaise, l'Oranger, and l'Agla—1 galley, la Victoire—6 advice boats, la Foudre, la Negresse, la Chasseur, l'Independent, le Vif and le Chien de Chasse, manned with 8593 men.
The Nile fleet, commanded by admiral Perree, consists of the xebecs le Cert and la Revengue; of the advice boats Capricieuse, le Sans Quartier, le Pluvier, l'Etoile, and l'Eclair; of the galleys le Coquette and l'Amoureuse, and of the bomb-ketches l'Helene, la Victoire and l'Esperance.
By this it appears that the whole naval strength of the French in the Egyptian waters consists of 34 armed vessels, which are blockaded by the British squadron, under the command of commodore Hood. The Goliath of 74 guns, the Zealous and Swiftsure of 74 guns each, and the frigates Alcmene, l'Emerald, and la Bonne Citoyenne, are cruising off Alexandria, and off Damietta, a British ship of the line, two frigates, the xebec la Fortune, and the advice boats la Torride and le Leger, the three latter of which have been taken from the French.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, October 25. Our government has appointed Catare, pacha Faraskier, or commander in chief of the army sent against Buonaparte. A great number of troops are assembled in Syria. They were to have marched the beginning of September, and accounts are soon expected to arrive of their entry into Lower Egypt.
Two Russian frigates with six Turkish ships and ten bomb ketches, have been sent to reinforce the British division before Alexandria. Since the declaration of war against France, all is very quiet here. It is rigorously forbidden to speak openly of the expedition of the French into Egypt, and the victories of Pashwan Oglou. Pacha Mustafa, a friend of Pashwan Oglou, it is said has proclaimed himself sovereign of Belgrade."

sum of money, which he had distributed to his troops and the Egyptians.
Captain Callo writes from Otrante, to a member of the legislature, under date of the 8th November as follows:
From Corfu our papers of the 2d instant contain the following: Our islands is in the best state of defence. The country of Sulli, which is a part of Janina, has risen against the pacha of Janina. The inhabitants have mounted the French cockade and established a national guard. The government of Corfu has sent them arms, powder, cannon, and two cakes of pistres. Mustafa pacha has effected this, who got to be a French general. The country of Butrinto has acted a similar part. From all these quarters Corfu can be furnished with provisions, with which it is already supplied for several years. All the superfluous cannon at Ancona have been sent to the heretofore Venetian islands. In Greece, 400 mules have been put in requisition to transport ordinance to the highest mountains. Our island alone furnishes 30,000 volunteers."
The council of ancients have agreed to the resolution of the council of five hundred, for laying a tax on doors and windows.
The debts of that part of Germany ceded to France, amount to 196,000,000 of livres.

PORTSMOUTH, January 29. On Thursday morning, at sun-rise, capt. McNeill, commanding the United States ship of war Portsmouth, made the signal for unmooring, and at 10 A. M. he stood down the river under easy sail. The Portsmouth saluted the town by a federal discharge of cannon, which was instantly returned by Major Wm. Boyd's private armed ship, and by a private armed brig belonging to Mr. Wm. Seavey, merchant. The usual compliment from the shore, was acknowledged by three hearty cheers, and a farewell huzza from the gallant ship's company and hundreds of assembled spectators. The Portsmouth sets remarkably well upon the water, and bids fair to sail incomparably fast. Capt. McNeill awaits orders in the lower harbor and proceeds at a moment to join his brave companions in defensive naval arms. Most of the officers and many of the men, were of late our respected fellow citizens; they are followed by the best wishes of the community.
The same day, John Adams, Esq. in the new Revenue Cutter Scammel, proceeded for the outer harbor. It is supposed that both vessels will go out in company; and no doubt but their respective commanders will distinguish themselves as brave sea officers.
The thirty-six gun ship, named the Congress building at this port, progresses with great rapidity. At present, there are from 70 to 80 hands employed daily. They begin work at early light and work until dark, with only half an hour intermission for meals and ten minutes for grog. The pay is from 3 3/4 to 4 1/2 per diem; and although this ship is finishing in the shortest days of the year, yet we are persuaded that she will be the cheapest 36 that has been built.
NEW-YORK, February 3.
GENTLEMAN-THIEF.
To the Editor of the New-York Gazette.
SIR, On Friday evening as I was returning from the house of a friend in the suburbs, about 11 o'clock, a well dressed man crossed the street near the Hospital, who held in his hand a cocked pistol, and addressed me nearly in these words: "Sir, you cannot mistake my meaning—I have been reduced from your walks in life—I cannot beg—this is my alternative—and without any danger to yourself, you will act well to give me what money you have." I gave him four dollars and some small silver, which was all I had, he thanked me, and bid me proceed. It is proper to communicate this to the public by way of caution to others. Yours, Saturday morning.
CHARLESTON, January 12.
TOBACCO.
From the beginning to the end of the year 1793, there has been more Tobacco inspected at the Charleston warehouse, than there was in the two preceding. If the other six or eight inspectors in this state have, collectively, inspected as much, (and it is believed they have inspected considerably more) averaging the hogheads at 1200 lbs. nett each, this article alone, at 7 dollars per cwt. (the cash price last month and rising) will amount to more than a million of dollars.
It is also said, that there is not received near half the present crop. The citizens of this state may therefore congratulate themselves on the rising importance of their back settlements, in industry, popularity, &c. The nearest of our Tobacco planters is little short of 200 miles from Charleston, and the farthest about 300 miles.
Inspected at the Charleston Warehouse. In 1796 . . . 2362 hogheads In 1797 . . . 3882 In 1798 . . . 6500

Authentic Information from the Isle of France.
Extract of a letter dated August 1, 1798. "My letter of the 15th April informed you no privateers were then fitting out of this island, since which an arrival of a French armed ship brought in with her a Danish company ship from Bengal, under a decree recently made in France, that all neutral ships found with British manufactured goods on board, shall be condemned as good prize. In consequence of which two privateers have been again fitted out, and several more nearly ready; however, the decree not arriving officially, is not yet adopted in this colony."
Extract of another letter dated Sept. 27, 1798.
"I have to inform of the arrestation of the American ship Orion of Boston, owned by Mr. James Tiddale, there. This ship arrived here from Batavia, bound to Hamburg with a cargo on board, freighted by the Dutch East-India company; as such came recommended to the governor general of this colony, by the governor general at Batavia—Notwithstanding she has been arrested under the pretext of not being in rule, agreeable to the French construction, and already condemned in the Tribunal of Commerce, and I must observe, I have no hopes in the Court of Appeals."
Since the arrival of the decree from France, to capture all vessels with English merchandise, or of the manufacture of their colonies, many privateers have been fitted out from this island, and I am fearful with such instructions, as will be injurious to the American commerce."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Trenton (New-Jersey) to his friend in this city, dated 2d February, 1799.
"A few days since, the resolutions of the Legislature of Massachusetts, recommending the adoption of certain measures to exclude foreign influence from the Councils of the United States, were passed by the House of Assembly, 26 to 10; and this day they were negatived in Council, 10 votes to 2. This I know you will consider a very extraordinary procedure, and it is therefore proper I should state, and that the public should understand, that in the arguments before the Council, the merits of the proposed amendments did not come into view. The particular ground on which they were opposed, was the mode of application; viz. by way of instructions to our Senators and Representatives, and not an address to Congress as a body, which was conceived not to be warranted, either by the Constitution of this state, or that of the United States, and that therefore a legislative expression on this subject would be premature and wholly informal. This is the true ground of the decision—although it is probable the Demo's will endeavor to arrogate much praise and triumph on the occasion, and give the decision a conspicuous place in Pennington's and Bache's vehicle of abuse, scandal and misrepresentation."
Yours, &c.
MR. FENNO, The excellent address of the minority of the Legislature of Virginia, published yesterday, contains the sentiments of all the independent people of that state.
It is a well known fact that the enemies to the federal government and its laws are only to be found among the bankrupts in fame or in fortune; and as the latter class have been the most numerous, it is with pleasure I inform you that the recent high prices for Tobacco, of which we had a very plentiful crop the last season, having enabled the bulk of our planters to pay their debts and to pocket an handsome surplus; they are now about to subscribe to the new loan, and are by a large majority determined on a thorough change in our representatives, all which a little time will evince.
Yours, &c.

LAUNCH.
Yesterday morning at sun-rise, the United States frigate General Greene, was launched at Warren. The business was accomplished with ease and expedition, and without an accident of any kind. This frigate was expected to arrive in our harbour this day—in memory of the great and gallant General whose name she bears, is dear to the citizens of this state, and renders it interesting to us every thing which recalls the recollection of Rhode Island's fair vice son.
Resolutions on the subject of the Kentucky Resolutions.
