Foreign Intelligence.
PETERSBURGH November 15.
AN Extraordinary Supplement to our Court Gazette contains Official accounts from Prince Issatoff, Count Suwarrows, concerning the operations of his Army after it had quitted Italy, and its penetrating through Switzerland to Feldkirch, of which the following is an abstract:
"Feldkirch, October 3, Old Style."
"When we separated from the Austrians on the 31st of August, near Tortona, I demanded of the Austrian General of Cavalry, Melas, a sufficient quantity of mules; but he only supplied me with a sufficient quantity for our heavy artillery, and refused to let me have more, assuring me that at Bellinzona, which leads to Mount St. Gothard, I should find every thing requisite for the march of the Army. Thus we were obliged to have our necessary baggage conveyed to the Lago di Como. After as rapid a march as the mountains would permit us, we arrived at Taverna, ten wersts from Bellinzona, and found not a single mule. The Austrian General Teller and his Commissaries deceived us by their shameful equivocal promises, and we left the fifth day at Taverna, without being able to do any thing. This state of inactivity gave the enemy time to collect his forces, and to take the necessary steps to endanger our situation."
"In this helpless state we had no other resource than to employ the horses of the Cossacks instead of mules, as advised by His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovitch. At length, 400 mules with their drivers, arrived, who were, however, only hired as far as Bellinzona; on learning which, we entered into a fresh agreement with them, to ensure their assistance as long as we might have occasion for it."
"Our Army left the Frontiers of Italy regrettably by all the Inhabitants, (but with the glory of having liberated that Country,) and travelled a chain of dreadful Mountains—Here Mount St. Gothard, the C. Iossus among Mountains, surrounded by clouds impregnated with thunder, presents itself to our view; there, the Vogel Mountain, rising as it were to eclipse the sun—terrible grandeur! All objects, all obstacles are removed; and amidst the combat of elements, the enemy cannot stand against the brave Army which suddenly appears on this new theatre; every where they are driven back. Your Imperial Majesty's troops penetrated the dark mountain-cavern of Urseren, and made themselves masters of the bridge, which is formed by two mountains, and justly bears the name of Devil's Bridge; though the enemy had destroyed it, yet it could not stop the progress of the victorious troops; boards were tied together with the Officers' scarves, and, along that bridge the troops threw themselves from the highest precipices into tremendous abysses, fell in with the enemy, and defeated them wherever it was possible to come up with them."
"It now remained for our troops to climb Mount Wister, the summit of which is covered with everlasting snow, and whose naked rocks surpass every other in steepness. As it is in mud, they were obliged to ascend through cataracts rolling down with dreadful impetuosity, hurling with irresistible force huge fragments of rocks and masses of snow and clay, by which numbers of men and horses were impelled down the gaping caverns, were some found their graves, and others were saved with the greatest difficulty. It is beyond the powers of language to paint this awful spectacle of nature with all its horrors."
(Here follow circumstantial details of the different actions in Switzerland, already known to the public; among other things, the report says "Gen. Maffena, who was defeated on the birth day of his Imperial Majesty, saved himself by flight. Prince Gortschakow was wounded in the head by a bullet, and Prince Bagration received a grape shot wound. The Grand Duke Constantine greatly distinguished himself; he animated the army by his example, and gave useful and salutary councils.")
"Taverna, October 9, 1799." "Lord Mulgrave had repeatedly assured me, that the English Ministry never thought of bringing the troops of your Imperial Majesty into Switzerland until the Archduke Charles had completely cleared the country of the enemy. He also told me, that Baron Thugut had given the most solemn assurances to the British Minister at Vienna, that the Archduke should on no account quit Switzerland. Yet he deceived him with those assurances, and meanwhile procured the Archduke time to leave Switzerland."
NEW TITLE FOR SUWARROW. The following is the Ukase by which Prince Suwarrows has been appointed Generalissimo of all the troops:
"To the Generalissimo of all the Imperial Russian troops, Prince Alexander Vasiljewitsch, Italiskoi, Count Suwarrows."
"October 29, 1799." "Every where the enemies of your country have been vanquished by you; only one degree of glory was left for you to acquire—to conquer Nature herself; and now the also submits to your prowess. By your last victory over the enemy of religion, you have likewise crushed the artifices of his allies, whom malice and envy had armed against you. I now bestow on you the only reward that remains for me to prove any gratitude; and in promoting you to the highest rank which is reserved for honor and bravery, I bestow it on the first General of the present and of past ages."
Neapolitan and Russian Treaties.
The following are some of the articles of a Treaty of Alliance between the King of the Two Sicilies and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias:
Art. 2. His Majesty, the Emperor of all the Russias, in order to prove his desire of being effectively, and as much as possible an useful ally to his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, independently of the assistance which his fleet, joined to that of the Porte in the Mediterranean affords, by contributing to the safety of the coast of Sicily, will furnish his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, for the present war against the French, a supply of troops by land, consisting of nine battalions of Infantry, with the necessary Artillery, and two hundred Cossacks. This corps shall set out on its march as soon as the weather and the roads will allow. It shall march by part of the Turkish states to Zara, in Dalmatia, where his Sicilian Majesty shall have ready, at the time of the arrival of the said corps, both vessels ready for transporting them to Italy, and provisions necessary for subsisting them.
Art. 3. The two high contracting parties shall previously employ their care with his Majesty the Emperor, and the Ottoman Porte, in order that the Russian auxiliaries may have a free passage both in their approaching march and when they shall return to Russia.
Art. 4. The Auxiliary Russian troops shall be provided with warlike ammunition by his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias. He also takes upon himself the pay of these troops, and the recruiting of them during the time they shall be employed in the service of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies. With respect to provisions and forage, these articles shall be furnished by his Sicilian Majesty, as the party requiring, on the same footing as the same Troops receive it by order of the ordinance of their own sovereign. Quarters shall be provided for them, and all the advantages shall be procured for them which the troops of the court requiring their assistance enjoy or may enjoy while in campaign or in quarters.
Art. 5. In order to avoid all misunderstanding between the two High Contracting parties, they have agreed and stipulated—that notwithstanding the Court requiring assistance is obliged to provide for the subsistence of the Auxiliary Troops, from the moment that they march off the Russian frontiers, and also after their passage on the right bank of the Dniester, his majesty the Emperor of Russia, for the greater convenience, will himself provide for the subsistence of the said troops till their arrival at Zara in Dalmatia, on this condition, that the King of the Two Sicilies will remit to Petersburg in the course of the next year, or, if more suitable to him, to the general commanding the auxiliaries, the sum of 100,000 roubles, in which sum is comprised the full amount of all expenses, viz. provisions, forage and subsistence money. Secondly, that the said troops shall receive from the moment of their arrival at Zara and even to their return to that city, on account of the King of the Two Sicilies, thro' the means of his commissaries, and conformably to what is stipulated in the fourth article of the present treaty, provisions and forage necessary for their maintenance. For their return into Russia provision will be made after the manner stipulated in the first part of this article. But should the Russian troops on their return home take another route, the two courts shall previously concert means on the above expressed premises. Thirdly, That in addition to the provision and forage, the Russian troops shall receive from his majesty of the Two Sicilies, during their continuance in his service, five Russian peace per day for subsistence money.

SAMUEL & JOHN ADAMS, Wilmington, (Del.) Jan. 27. 1810.
A valuable Estate for sale, IN VIRGINIA.
THE NORWICH LANDS,
MILLS, AND APPENDAGES.
THIS ESTATE is situated in the county of Henrico, on Four Mile Creek, near its junction with James River, about 12 miles from the city of Richmond, and nearly the same distance from Petersburg. There is about 150 acres of land, and the whole of it good soil for agriculture, and a full proportion of it very suitable for grain; about one half of it is cleared and in a state fit for immediate cultivation; the rest is in woods and well covered with useful timber of different kinds. As to the improvements on the farm, there is a decent dwelling house with the usual out houses: a good brick spring house, and a large new excellent barn, one story of brick, and the other framed work, two orchards of apples and of peaches, in full perfection and good fruit.
The mills consist of three pair of bur stones for the grinding of wheat, and one pair of stones for grinding of corn, all of proved good quality, worked by overhead water wheels and double gears, with all the late improvements for screening, cleaning, bolting and elevating the wheat and flour, all in the best manner and of the best materials and quite new—The mill house is large and convenient, being 26 feet by 71 feet with five floors, the two lower floors are brick, the rest framed work executed in the most substantial manner; the house and machinery of the mills will be found unexceptionable, and they are so situated as to be free from all risque from the freshest or inundation of the water course—There is a very convenient brick bake house two stories high, with two large ovens; a very good house for the proprietor or manager, a store room, counting room, kitchen, &c. also suitable houses for millers, coopers, and bakers—The tide water from James River flows to the walls of the mill, where boats of three to four hundred bushels—where can receive their loads out of the mill, and in one miles distance, ships of any size that navigate James River, can load in great facility.
The neighborhood is healthy—very respectable as to inhabitants, being mostly independent farmers, and the soil is in general very justly esteemed equal to any on James River, for the growing of wheat upon a moderate calculation, the average annual crops of the neighborhood equally convenient if not more so, to the Norwich Mills, than to any other market, amount to between thirty and forty thousand bushels of wheat. Mr. John P. Gordon who lives on the premises at present, will show the whole to those who may incline to view it.
I would prefer a purchaser who could pay down the principal part of the purchase money, and would give a very advantageous bargain—or I will sell on a credit convenient to the purchaser, the interest being paid annually. I will wait for a purchaser till the 15th day of March next, and if not then sold, I will be glad to treat with a tenant for a lease, on terms which may be mutually agreeable. I have offered the whole of this estate for sale, on a presumption that the purchaser of the mills would incline to have the land also, for a supply of building timber, oven wood and hoop poles; but if it be more agreeable to him to take the mills and a few acres of land, he shall be accommodated accordingly.

To William Wills & John Armstrong.
GENTLEMEN, I HAVE seen your advertisement "To the Public," whereby you offer your services to locate United States Military Land Warrants, and in which you assert that you "possess superior information to any others" and that you can locate warrants "the most advantageously"—As I believe you have not explored more of the Military District than some other persons who offer their services to locate warrants—permit me to suggest the propriety of altering your advertisement, so as to do justice to those whose knowledge of the Military Land is, at least equal to that which you possess. I do not mean that all who advertise as locaters are superior, or even equal to you, in the knowledge of the advertisements by persons who have never explored a single range, and by others who have been over but a small part of the Military Land—to these your advertisement would apply; but as you claim all other locaters as inferior to yourselves. I have taken the liberty of giving you the above advice, which if attended to will candour will, for the present satisfy.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10.
From late London Papers.
Among some ladies who came over in the late passage vessel from France, was one dressed in a green habit, with yellow cuffs and collar, resembling a military uniform, who called herself Miss Wade, but who proves to be the wife of Blackwell, Napper Tandy's associate. She is a handsome young English woman, and at first was detained, but she is since released and is arrived at London. Her husband was in the French service before the revolution, and she has the act of naturalization signed by Louis XVI. She came from Paris and brought with her orders to raise the embargo laid on at Gills. She has some sisters married in the country; through the Secretary of State's office, she was allowed to correspond with her husband.
In the present age of political innovation, it is curious to observe the great veneration for antiquity which prevails in all our dress and fashions. Queen Elizabeth's ruff decorates our blooming belles: and our beaux are puffed and stuffed on the shoulders A LA RICHARD THE THIRD. But what is still more remarkable, is the total abjuration of the female pockets. These heavy appendages are no more worn at present than keys at the girdle. Every fashionable fair carries her purse in her work bag. Her money and her industry be check by jowl—and her gambling gains lie snug by her house-wife. Her handkerchief, her tooth-pick-case, her watch, and her keys, if she has any, are the constant concomitants of her visits; and as no part of the symmetry of her shape altered or concealed by the old fashioned panners, she has the pleasure of laying everything that belongs to her upon the table wherever she goes.
The dowry of the Princess of Russia, bride to the Archduke Joseph, Palatinate of Hungary, required 63 waggons to transport it. It arrived at Lemberg on the 2d inst. The whole is valued at ten million rubles and the freight to Pest alone cost twelve thousand rubles.
Dr. James Anderson states, that a linen cloth thrown over apples, most effectually preserves them from the frost.
A young rustic a few days ago, having conducted his virgin bride to church, at a village near Farnby, in Lancashire, and patiently submitted to the awful ceremony, returned with her home to her mother's house, from which he immediately absconded, and has not since been heard of.
The following passage taken from General Berthier's account of the operations of the army of Egypt, exposes the credulity and superstition of the people of that country:
"In the beginning of Floreal, an emissary from Africa, who had landed at Derne, acting the Saint, and being surrounded by disciples, joined himself to the Arabs, calling himself the Angel El Mahdi, announced in the Alcoran. He declared that the muskets, bayonets, sabres, and cannon of the French could not hurt true believers, who might march along with him: on the contrary, that on the fight of their arms the French would retire without being able to defend themselves. His assertions were believed, and when he thought that he had a sufficient force he marched against Demenhour with the Arabs (these Arabs had made a treaty of peace some days before, with General Marmont, at Alexandria.) He surprised them, and butchered sixty men of the nautical legion, who had remained in the town, notwithstanding the orders their commandant had received to repair to the fort of Rhamanie. The Angel El Mahdi taking advantage of this success, raised the whole province. Lefebvre set out from the fort of Rhamanie with 200 men: but the Arabs and Fellahs were all under arms. He was surrounded and fought till night, when he retired into the fort, having killed all those who came within reach of his fire. This Saint El Mahdi lost his credit by the death of many of his disciples, but the Province still remained in a state of insurrection. General Lanusse, with a moveable column, advanced on the 19th to Rhamanie, and from thence to Demenhour, driving every thing before him. He put to the sword 1,500 men in that town, and reduced it to ashes. He dispersed the disciples of the Saint El Mahdi, who himself fled, wounded, and half dead, with fear. The Mamluks passed the Nile, and gained Thar. The Province was restored to good order."
A letter from Brunswick, in the Redacteur, says, "Perhaps you do not know that M. de Berlepsch, Provincial Counsellor in Hanover, having been deposed by the King of England as elector of Hanover, appealed to the tribunal of the empire. He gained his cause, and the elector of Hanover (king of England) was sentenced to reinstate him, under pain of execution on the part of the empire."
Sieyes was extremely rejoiced at the return of Buonaparte. It was he who announced it to Baudin, since dead. I have to inform you, says the director, of the best piece of news in the world; but you shall guess first what it is: Perhaps, said Baudin, it is a victory of Championet. Better than that. A new victory of Massena? Suwarow taken? Better yet. The English driven from Holland? Still better. Is it then, replied Baudin, the signing of the preliminaries of peace? No, you are not yet right, answered Sieyes; but it is an event which may lead to a peace; it is the arrival of Buonaparte in France.
Balloons are so much the rage in Paris at present, that some men have attempted to fly. One man lately precipitated himself from a rock, but losing one of his wings, he fell into the sea. His life was saved,
Cramer, the celebrated violin player, died a few days since, and on Friday his remains were interred in a vault near the entrance of Mary-le-bone old burying-ground. Two mourning coaches followed the hearse, in which were the three sons of the deceased, Mr. Shield, the composer, Mr. Barthelman and Mr. Nolkens, whose countenances bespoke the deepest regret on the melancholy occasion.
The Spaniards have received the disagreeable intelligence, that the town and port of Acapulco, on the northern coast of Mexico, has lately been entirely destroyed.
Henry Rohan Rochefort, son of the ci-devant Prince of this name, and aged twenty one years, was convicted of emigration by a military commission, and shot on the 19th instant at Grenoble.
Resolved unanimously, by the legislative council and house of representatives of the territory north west of the Ohio river, that the governor of the said territory be requested to limit to the president of the United States the following address (signed by the president of the council, and the speaker of the house of representatives, in behalf of both houses) together with this resolution.
To JOHN ADAMS PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
SIR, THE general assembly of the territory north-west of the river Ohio, believing that the highest reward which a virtuous public officer can receive, is the applause of his fellow citizens, are anxious to embrace the earliest opportunity of declaring their confidence in your virtue and talents, and their approbation of your official conduct. With a degree of pleasure and exultation more easily felt than expressed, we review the history of your important life, replete with proofs of patriotic virtue. At a period which demanded more than common firmness, we saw, you step forward the resolute supporter of your country's rights. We witnessed your perseverance through the revolutionary war, and to your firmness we attribute the enjoyment of the rich country we now inhabit. Having acted to conspicuous a part in the establishment of American independence, at the close of the arduous contest which enrolled the United States on the record of nations, you might have retired to the shade of private life, and securely enjoyed the approbation of an upright mind, and the applause of a grateful country. But, happily for America, you chose to continue in public life, till the confidence of your fellow citizens, at a critical moment, placed you at the helm of state; and permit us, Sir, to assure you, that we are deeply impressed with a sense of the wisdom, justice and firmness with which you have discharged this important trust; and we take this early opportunity of assuring you, Sir, of our sincere attachment to the American constitution and government, and of our determination to afford every possible support to both.
We believe that, regales of the voice of party spirit, which have risen to distract our national councils, have kept the honor and happiness of that nation constantly in view; and we ardently pray that the wise ruler of nations may preserve your health and life.
EDWARD Tiffin, Speaker of the House of Representatives. H. VANDERBURGH, President of the Council.
BOSTON, January 30. Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Georgetown, Maryland.
"The particular testimonies of General Washington's remembrance to individuals consist of four legacies only. One of these is a pair of curiously mounted pistols to M. de la Fayette, who took them, when commanding a small detachment during the revolutionary war, and preferred them to the General. His books and pens to Judge Washington—a most valued gift; and to Dr. Craik, a whimsically fled mechanical writing desk. I must not dit here a circumstance, which places in eminent point of view the beautiful propriety of his characteristical prudence, by which he often disentangled himself from nations truly embarrassing. Some years since, the present earl of Buchan sent to the General a curious oaken box, made out of the re which concealed Sir James Wallace, in this request subjoined, "that he would also death leave it to the man he thought of worthy." The General with great wits has desired the box to be returned to his lordship with this answer, "that it is n for General Washington to point out the worthiest citizen of the United States." One striking singularity of his will is an elaborate collection of arguments annexed every item, wherein he demonstrates the propriety of the management and disposal of his effects and wealth, which, is estimated a million of dollars."
SAVANNAH, Jan. 27. The following communication is been transmitted to us from a correspondent at St. Mary's.
January 1800 This day an express arrived Point Peter, with dispatches from col. Watkins, the Indian agent, to Mr. Elliott the United States commissioner for running the boundary line. Among the dispatches received, there is a proclamation signed by William Augustus Bowles, styling himself chief and director general of the Creek nation, which has been stuck up and made public through the Creek Towns. This proclamation exceeds in insolence, impudenced bombast, any thing that hath hitherto been exhibited by this well known adventurer Bowles in the most direct terms denies right of either the United States or Spain run the
boundary line, or to have any intercourse with the Indians, but by his authority. He forbids this, on pain of death, to all who may oppose his royal will and pleasure. Bowles orders the Indians to lead Mr. Hawkins and others out of the nation. Certain it is, one or other of them ought not to be there; and the people of this country will soon see which of these men have most influence among the Indians, as Mr. Hawkins must quit the ground, or drive Bowles, after such proclamation and threats against him and his country.
It appears that most of the Six nations Indians, and those on the lower parts of the Chatahoochee and Flint rivers, have joined Bowles. The dispatches which Mr. Elliott, sent from St. Marks to the governors of Pensylvania and Mobile, were taken by the adventurer's Indian scouts, and brought to him; with these dispatches were duplicates of Mr. Elliott's letters to the secretary of the United States.
P. S. The runners who brought the dispatches say, that Bowles has a vessel arrived with goods from England, for the Indians; this, however, wants confirmation.
Head quarters, Wickwa, Oct. 31, '99.
Whereas divers persons have been employed by the United States, and his Catholic Majesty, sanctioned by commission, to disseminate discord to make parties, and by every unlawful means to deceive our people, in order to effect the completion of a treaty between the United States and his Catholic Majesty at Philadelphia, in the month of September, 1795, with intentions to subvert and destroy the right of sovereignty which this nation and its confederates have had from the beginning of time.
We, the Director-General of Muskogee, being duly authorized, do hereby issue our proclamation, and direct that all persons now residing within the territories of Muskogee, holding any unlawful commission under the United States or his Catholic Majesty, or employed by them, are hereby ordered to depart these our territories, on or before the 8th November next, as they will answer at their peril.
We do hereby also direct, that after the said 8th day of November next, if any person or persons are found holding said commissions, or acting contrary to good order, he or they shall be arrested as conspirators, and proceeded against according to the law of nations established in such cases.
GIVEN under our hand, at Wickwa, this 31st day of October, 1799. God save the state of Muskogee.
WM. A. BOWLES. Director-General of Muskogee. Ochookwheethia, 30th Nov. 1799.
Friend, I HAVE now dispatched all the talk to England, to Providence and to Jamaica by my boat. I hourly expect the arrival of a vessel, which I shall, as soon as she has discharged her load, fend off with other copies or duplicates of them, in order that all may be sure.
I inclose you a copy of the proclamation respecting the Americans who have been employed in this country since I have been away, in order to deceive and destroy this Nation. I hope they are all gone, for it is not my wish to injure them; it is absolutely necessary that they should depart and that immediately, or they will forfeit the protection due to all men, and by the law of nations ought to suffer death by being hanged as conspirators against the peace, and sovereignty of Muskogee.
There are some good men who have been employed by them; they were ignorant and did not know the consequence of their employ. James Derezens at the Cowettas although he has a commission from the Spaniards he has not done much harm because I stopped it. Mr. Hawkins is the man who if he is not gone must go immediately, as he is a dangerous man and will cause some mischief to you by slaying. I shall seize him if I find him, for not obeying the proclamation, and proceed against him according to law.
I request you to make known this talk to all your towns. As my papers are not come down as yet, you had better keep them until you come yourself, or until I see you at your house, for as soon as I have dispatched my business here I will pay a visit to the towns, which I expect will not be long. The people whom I left behind me when I came to meet you at the Wekiwa, having a great deal of rum behaved very ill, they destroyed almost every thing I left with them, or let the water spoil it which is the same thing, which I feel more for the sake of our beloved red people, than for myself, but it will not be long before all will be straight.
I am your sincere friend, WILLIAM A. BOWLES.
Let me hear from you and the news you have in your town.

Port of Philadelphia.
Sch. Andrew M'Gregor, from hence, has arrived at Cape Francis.
Arrived at Reedy Island, ship Eclipse, Rieley. Sailed from St. Sebastian's the 24th Nov. last; left there the brig Trial, Talbot, of this port, for St. Thomas, to sail in a few days. Capt. R. also informs that the ship Woodrop-Sims, Hodgson, of and for this port, from London, taken some time since by a French privateer, had arrived at Rochefort, the crew were sent to Bayonne and captain to St. Sebastian's; that after a passage of 28 days, capt. R. arrived at St. Thomas. Left at St. Thomas the brig Jack, Doiby, of this port, to sail in a few days for the Havana: also the United States brig Augusta, M'Elroy, from Cape Francois where he had been the convoy safe which went from Philadelphia under his protection. Capt. M. intended to leave St. Thomas in a few days for his station off Porto Rico. From information gained at St. Thomas, capt. R. learnt that the ship Manchester, Cox, of and for this port, from St. Sebastian's, had put into Antigua in distress.
Capt. R. left St. Thomas, and 19 days made the Capes of Delaware. A few days previous to getting in, he experienced a very heavy gale of wind, off Cape Henry, from N. E. which obliged him to throw some of his guns overboard.

Capt. Moores speaks very highly of capt. Penrose's attention to the American vessel. The sloop Minerva, Williams. On the 3d December, outward bound, was plundered by a French privateer of some stores; but otherwise treated politely. Said privateer, that day took the Mercury of Philadelphia, bound to Port Republican, and put the prisoners on board the Minerva. The brig was afterwards retaken by an English frigate and sent into Kingston. Homeward bound, between Jamaica and Hispaniola, was again plundered of some stores by another privateer, showing no colours. On the passage, saw several English ships of war.
The sch. Fanny, Skiddy, sailed from the Havana on the 22d ult. in company with 15 sail of American vessels, under convoy of the United States brig Norfolk, capt. Benbridge. Among a number of other American vessels at the Havana was the brig Little George of this port.

Likewise informed me that three weeks before had arrived at Guadalupe, two French ships, one of 20 and one of 50 guns, which had brought out a new governor, Genet—captain Murray very politely told me he would stand on with me a piece to the northward, and accordingly did until 2 P. M. a lofty warlike ship with a crowd of sail hove in sight to windward, but on getting sight of us shein sudden fails and hauled on a wind to the northward; the L'Infatigable then made sail and stood to windward after her: night came on, and I lost sight without knowing which had the better of the chase.
On the 28th, I fell in with the United States brig Pickering, Benjamin Hiller, Esq. commander, on a cruise—eight days before had captured the Volgiefe, of 10 guns and 61 men, 2 days from Guadalupe, taken nothing; 3 months provisions on board. It was expected that this privateer would have engaged the Pickering, as she shewed 14 ports; but on the Pickering firing a shot athwart her fore foot, and giving three cheers, the French colours came down. I had the above news from lieutenant Ingraham who came on board—he further said, that four days before he was himself on shore at Point Petre, to exchange the above prisoners, and saw there the two French ships before mentioned.
The Pickering altering her cruise, has captured 16 sail; she was then full manned, and all her crew in good health: the Doctor, Mr. Sargeant, was so good as to come on board and prefer for a man I had sick, who has since recovered.

JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, THE FOLLOWING VALUABLE MEDICINES.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if patient is not relieved—it never having failed in many thousand cases; not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle, and numbers not half a bottle.
Hahn's Anti-bilious Pills. DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE German Corn Plaster. An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
The Genuine Persian Lotion. So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellant minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing cutaneous blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly, freckles, pimples, pits after small-pox, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is essential to health—yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth; never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and a handsome one more so.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch. Warranted an infallible and immediate cure, at once using; being the most speedy, effectual and pleasant remedy ever offered to the public, and for the satisfaction of the timorous, the proprietor maketh oath, that this ointment does not contain a single particle of mercury or any other pernicious ingredient in its composition, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women and on infants newly born.
Patent Indian Vegetable Specific. For the cure of Piles—of every description. A extensive trial of near 100 years has proved the vegetable specific to be effectual in expelling the venereal virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and has restored health to many who have been brought to the verge of the grave by the improper administration of mercury. Within this period upwards of eight thousand patients have experienced its salutary effects. With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time and with the least inconvenience possible.
Worm destroying Lozenges. Which have, within nine months past, relieved upwards of EIGHTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS of all ages in various complaints arising from worms and from foulness or obstructions in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title to commonly complained of, as operating with a degree of violence, sufficient, not only to kill worms, but sometimes to endanger the patient's life; on the contrary, a peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
At the place of sale may be seen many remarkable cases of cures, the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application—not being performed in Europe, nobody knows where—but at home. Persons wishing to procure any of the above medicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above—and likewise observe, that the signature of Lee & Co. (who are appointed the general agents for the United States) is pasted on the outside of each, without which they cannot be genuine. At the above place may be likewise had, GOWLAND'S LOTION. CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS. ANDERSON'S PILLS, &c. &c.

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dolls. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys everything, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost incalculable. It is hoped, that America will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation. The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798." "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States." "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, "Respectfully represents." That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.
