THE OBSERVER,
TO THE PATRONAGE OF A liberal and enlightened Community IS SUBMITTED THE PROSPECTUS OF A New Daily Paper, TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE OF THE OBSERVER, AND Daily Repository of useful Information. IT will doubtless be deemed a hazardous undertaking to present to the public eye proposals for a new Gazette, when so many are already in possession of the public patronage. News-papers so much more generally diffused throughout America than perhaps any other portion of the globe, may become either engines of mischief or the implements of usefulness—they disseminate good, or scatter poison, among thouands; and although it may be presumptuous in the Editor of that now proposed to expect that its utility will be great, yet he may be admitted to declare, that it shall not willingly be made the means of doing evil. His endeavors will be applied to render The Observer in some degree conducive to the attainment of knowledge as well as to the communication of news—to enlighten the understanding—to improve the morals—to beget, or to confirm, a reverence for the sacred principles of Christianity. For this purpose it is intended—To furnish the most recent foreign and domestic intelligence; To give useful Prices Current at home and abroad, and other commercial information; To select from literary productions such portions as may gratify taste and induce improvement; To enforce and enforce found and just views of government; To aid the great interests of piety and morality. To prevent occasionally—Improvements in the arts and sciences—in agriculture and domestic economy; Proceedings of the General and State Legislatures; Reports of the Heads of Departments, and of interesting cases adjudged in the several courts of the United States, &c. Reviews of foreign and domestic literature; Anecdotes and characters of distinguished persons; Statistical tables; Meteorological observations; Appointments; Marriages, Births, Deaths. With these premisses the Subscriber diffidently submits himself to the public. He is well aware of the importance and magnitude of the undertaking. Solicitous for the fate of his native land, and viewing with anxious fears and hopes the success of a government created by the joint exertions of wisdom and virtue, and conducted with sound policy and genuine patriotism, he feels himself sincerely interested in promoting such measures and principles as he believes essential to public happiness and national prosperity. CONDITIONS. I. The Observer shall be printed with a neat type, and on paper of equal size and quality with the present Philadelphia daily papers. II. It shall be published every evening, and regularly sent to the houses of the city subscribers—To others it will be forwarded according to their respective instructions. III. The price will be Eight Dollars per annum to those who reside in the city—and Nine Dollars to all others. The additional dollar is to defray the expense of enclosing and directing their papers. IV. One half of the price to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the other half at the expiration of twelve months from the publication of the first number. The succeeding payments to be half yearly. V. Advertisements that do not exceed in length the breadth of the column will be 67 cents for the first, and 33 cents for every additional insertion. Those of greater length will be charged in the same proportion. ZACHARIAH POULSON, jun. March 3, 1800.

LONDON, December 20.
Sir Sidney Smith to Buonaparte.
When Sir Sidney Smith was in the Temple, he wrote with a pencil upon the walls of his prison, the following address. Four prisoners, who were after Sir Sidney's departure, confined in the very room he occupied, desired the gaoler, the moment they entered it, to remark that the writing on the wall was anterior to their arrival.
"The Temple, Oct. 26, 1798."
"The wheel of fortune makes its age revolutions.—but to deserve the name of revolution it is necessary that the turn of the wheel should be complete. You are now as high as you can be; well! I do not envy your happiness, for I have a greater happiness, still, that of being as low in the career of ambition as one can descend; so let the capricious dame turn her wheel ever so little, I must ascend; but by the same rule you must descend."
"I do not make this remark to disgust you; but to convey to you the same consolation I feel when you shall have arrived at the same point I have—Yes, where I now am, you will be; you will inhabit this very prison! why not as well as myself? I did not think that I should more than you do now. In a war of party, it is a crime, in the eyes of one's opponents, to discharge one's duty well; you do now, and of course you are sharpening the daggers of your enemies against you."
"It is true, that it is needlessly to prove to you, that you will come here, because you must be here to read these lines: you will, without doubt, have this apartment, because the keeper is an honest man, and will certainly give you the best, as he has given me."
MILITARY OPERATIONS.
REVIEW OF THE CAMPAIGN IN SWITZERLAND.
It was upon the frontiers of Switzerland that the danger was the most pressing: and that it was the most easy to send reinforcements, which arriving successively by different routes, were directed at the same time to the centre and wings of Massena's army, while the Archduke could only receive the Russian divisions by Schaffhausen, in the rear of his right, and all at once, at a fixed and known epoch. This augmentation of force, would of course be very considerable, and composed of good troops, particularly infantry; but it was their first clay in a mountain war, in which they were to be immediately employed; they could not be compared to those corps of Austrian troops, mixed with mountaineers, Tyrolese and Swiss, who had defended the Vorarlberg, reconquered the Grisons and St. Gothard, and the greater part of the small cantons. Gen. Suwarrow, having undertaken and covering at once the siege of Coni and Tortona, which must be followed by the taking of Genoa, and complete the career of his conquest in Italy, could not, till General Kray's corps had joined him, restore to the Archduke the army of General Bellegarde, who had besides suffered much: and the feeble diversion which he had directed General Haddick to make on the side of the Valais, was not sufficient to enable the Archduke to flatter himself with re-establishing the balance between his force and that of Massena, if the latter could act before the arrival of the Russians. Massena in fact attacked, and gained a great advantage; he fulfilled his part of the operations agreed upon, and entirely removed the left wing of the Austrian army. Joubert and Moreau, on the contrary, found Suwarrow still superior in number, reinforced by General Kray, whom the speedy surrender of Mantua had permitted to join the grand army. They were defeated.
Although General Massena had for some time received orders from the new directors to resume the offensive immediately, he resisted the indirect eagerness of his government, incurred their anger, and received orders to give up the command of the army. Having calculated the degree of speed which the Russian troops could use, he preferred the wise resolution of maturing his plan, and of striking a blow which would be so much the surer by its being delayed, because each day increased his numerical force without the Archduke having been able to prevent him nor procure the same advantage himself. It appears also, that the want of resources, and the difficulty of subsistence in a country exhausted by two great armies, and not productive, had retarded his reinforcements, and even disgusted part of the army.
It was on the 17th August, that the first column of the Russian army of twenty six thousand men, under General Rimski Korfakow, were to arrive at Schaffhausen; it was on the 11th that Massena commenced his movement: he had reinforced his right wing, commanded by General Lecourbe, as much as he could, without too much uncovering his centre, opposite Zurich, and weakening his left, stretching to the Rhine. As he proposed to detach that right wing entirely from the centre, to render his marches, manoeuvres, and attacks on the whole mass of the great Alps, from the Valais to the Lake of Zurich, entirely independent, he endeavored to fix, on the opposite side, the attention of the Archduke, and succeeded in concealing from him, by very warm attacks on the centre of his position, the reinforcements which he had sent General Lecourbe, and prevented him from putting in practice the same manoeuvre on his left, and from supporting Generals Jellachich and Simtschen. The latter occupied, on the Upper Reuss,
and in the space between St. Gothard and Lake Zurich, only the principal points of a chain of two extensive positions; these different corps, which altogether did not exceed 20,000 men, could neither form sufficient reserves to check the columns which attempted to cut off their communications, nor sustain themselves by their own strength, notwithstanding the advantages of the ground in isolated posts, or in camps, which might be turned and taken in the rear, by a superior force.
On the 12th and 13th of August General Massena encouraged some affairs of advanced posts in the environs of Baden. On the 14th at day break, favored by a thick fog, he pushed one column beyond the Limat. It carried first one of the grand guards, penetrated into the camp of the cavalry, where a regiment of dragoons, and some squadrons of hussars had to sustain a very warm attack in which they suffered considerable loss. This surprise spread alarm at Zurich. The French had pushed to the outlets of the city, and had made their way to the rear of some points of the line; attacked in their turn by superior forces, and taken in flank by two batteries they defended themselves most obstinately; much blood was shed, and unfortunately, the Swiss in the two armies met and charged with fury; at length Gen. Massena withdrew his columns to the left of the Limat, and on the 15th, the centre of each army was in its old position.
During this attack, all the columns on the right, whose total force on this side and on the other of the Lake of Lucerne was, including in it the division of Thureau in the Valais, about 30,000 men, broken up at once, and proceeded against the posts occupied by the imperialists.
The French division, commanded by General Chabran, passed the Sihl, surprised or drove back the Austrian posts on the western side of Lake Zurich, ascended the heights of Richterstwyll, Etzel and Schindellegi, turned and attacked with advantage a pretty considerable Austrian corps, which occupied the strong position between Lachen and Ennsfeld ( notre dame des hermites ). This intermediate corps, between the Austrian army and the left wing, which, occupying the course of the Reuss, covered the cantons of Schwitz and Uri, was almost all either destroyed, dispersed, or taken. It was under the orders of general Jellachich; the latter, obliged to abandon his posts on Lake Zurich, could not even keep the post of Rapperschwyl; he left open the canton of Glarus, and fell back on the centre of the army; the French pushing their advanced guards even in sight of Pleffikon, threatened the position of Zurich. His first success checked the communication of the rest of the Archduke's left wing with the centre of his army, and favored the movements, and attacks of general Lecourbe upon Schwitz, and the course of the Reuss from Aldorff to Mount St. Gothard—the development of this front of attack was from 18 to 20 common leagues (11 German miles).
To follow with interest the brilliant and singular expedition of general Lecourbe upon the Reuss, it is necessary to observe attentively the mass of the high Alps, the cantonal march of nature in the formation of those masses, and ever uniform in her most imperceptible labors: every where do the laws of gravitation disclose and explain her secrets. The waters, falling from the higher parts, where the reservoirs are as it were suspended, produce every where similar effects, and according to their volume, their mass, and their current, furrow more or less deeply the surface of the globe, divide territories and separate mountains.
Thus, in the great Alps, the torrents, escaping from beneath snow and ice, fall in different directions into valleys so narrow and so deeply excavated by the rapid fall and ravages of their waters, that the declivities of those enchain'd mountains render them inaccessible in every other direction than that of the bed of the torrents which have forced their passage.—It is necessary then to ascend to their very source, to the common level, to be able to penetrate from one valley into another, to choose between them, to command those issues, to open or shut at will those barriers which the caprice of the waters has raised between those masses broken and separated in the explosions of the globe. It is true, that the very caprice may have opened in these great declivities some lateral issues, by which we may communicate from one great valley to another, by following the course of brooks, and fixing their point of contract, or their level on opposite sides; but it may be conceived, that these communications must be rare, and more replete with difficulties and obstacles, than the high principal valleys.
The late decree of the French consulate withdrawing all further supplies for the maintenance of their prisoners, was extremely sudden and unexpected; as only a few days before M. Perigaux, the banker, remitted to Mr. Hammerfley 60,000, on this account, with a promise that the payments should be regularly made in future. Capt. Swinburne also brought over a bill of exchange for 1000, for the same service.
A story is current in the higher circles, that Buonaparte has written a letter to the Grand Signior, to assure him that it never was his intention to settle in Egypt, but that the French went thither to punish the Mamelukes.

TERMS
Of Richard Fokwell, 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, o
Committees, and other Official and Pri
vate Papers of that Body, now first per
mitted to be made public.
TERMS.
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,
as ornament may be added to their libraries.
The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars, 75 cts.
per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound,
but as the publisher does not intend to print man-
ner than the number subscribed for, a consider-
able rise on the price may be expected to non-sub-
scribers.
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 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 Govern-
ment.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the com-
encement of their governments, are lost in dark-
ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the
succeeding generation, to preserve the public re-
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
every thing, enhances the value of well authen-
ticated public records, and renders them almost in-
estimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, there-
fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans-
mitting 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.

resentatives 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 Con-
gress, we experience inconveniences by the scarcity
of them: That we understand that Richard
Fokwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in
contemplation to print that public record; and
that he hath obtained partial countenance from many
individuals; but that he has delayed prosecu-
ting 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.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 17.
Extract of a letter from captain Truxton to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Port Royal Harbour, Jamaica, 12th of February, 1800.
"I arrived here the 8th inst. in company with the Insurgente, capt. Murray, with whom I fell in, the day after I wrote you by lieut. Shaw."
"Finding it imp. sible to get a main-mast here, I shall use every outpatch in my power to put the Constellation into a condition to proceed to the United States. I have met a kind and friendly reception from Admiral Parker; all the British post captains here have been on board the Constellation, and from seeing our situation, expressed every sentiment that could be wished by those true Americans who love their country and its honour better than any thing else."
"I have heard nothing of the French 54 gun ship since the action. It is hard to conjecture whether she sunk, or whether she was got into St. Thomas's or Curacao. If she is still above water, she must be irreparable in the West-Indies. Her loss of men must have been prodigious in an action of five hours, with 600 men on board: My fire was directed principally at her hull."
"Several of my officers have told me that they thought they saw her go down—certain it is, that the ship and her lights disappeared of a sudden, and we ought to have seen her at day light. But I was so employed myself, in preserving our fore-mast and mizen-mast, after the main mast went over the side, that I attended to nothing else."
Extract of a letter from capt. Baker, of the Delaware sloop of war, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Curaçoa, 8th Feb. 1800.
"On the 6th inst. appeared off this harbour, a French ship of 52 guns, called La Vengeance, and from what I can learn, the left Guadeloupe last Sunday, bound to France, with a great deal of money, &c. on board; and also two French generals, and a number of other officers and passengers; but on Monday evening she was overtaken by an American or British frigate (but generally believed to be the former) and from her shattered condition, she must have had a very severe action. La Vengeance having left standing but her bowsprit, fore and mizen-mast; her fore and mizen shrouds, ratlings, &c. being cut up so, that you could scarce see any of them for stoppers. In short, there appears no place that has escaped a shot: her starboard side has been much hulled, and it is said, she had 140 killed and wounded, and when she parted she had 8 feet water in the hold. They say the other vessel was in a similar situation, and in fact, that neither of them had the command of their ships. The French ship is now hauled up in the harbour, and will require some months to repair, not having masts, cordage, &c. for that purpose."
P. S. This moment arrived a schooner from St. Thomas's with an American gentleman on board. They were spoke by a British frigate this morning at 8 o'clock, who informed them that yesterday he spoke Commodore Truxton going down to Jamaica, who informed them that last Monday night he got along side of a French 50 gun-ship, and after a long and severe action, had the misfortune to lose his main-mast, fore and mizen top mast; the ship became unmanageable, at which time the French ship made her escape, severely wounded.
Capt. Truxton said, that if he could have kept along side 15 minutes longer, he would have taken her. This agrees with the French report, for they say they were in such a situation, they could not have defended the ship much longer.
NEW YORK, March 15.
It is with great pleasure we announce some further particulars relative to the late gallant encounter of Captain Truxton, which far surpasses the brilliancy of his former exploit, and which will place his name high on the annals of American fame and naval prowess.
Last Thursday night arrived the brig Rebecca, Captain Harding, in 25 days from Curacao; by him and by private letters we learn, that the vessel with which the Constellation fought, was Le Vengeur, a French ship of 50 guns, and carrying 54, commanded by Captain Perot, she was bound from Guadeloupe to France, with a valuable cargo of coffee and sugar, and two million of dollars with the Governor of Guadeloupe and family. This explains the circumstance of her endeavouring to avoid an action. When Le Vengeur entered Curacao here fore and mizen masts were very much shattered, her main mast gone entirely, and her hull, rigging and spars in a most forlorn condition: in fact she appeared a perfect wreck, her pumps continually going, and 7 or 8 feet water in her hold. Captain Perot generously bore testimony to the gallantry of our brave Truxton; though it was not till some days after he had arrived, that it was known that he was his autagonist; and Captain Perot frankly acknowledged, that if the action had been continued 10 or 15 minutes longer he would have been obliged to strike.
Le Vengeur had on board 50 or 60 American prisoners. The crew consisting of 600 men, of which 170 were during the action killed and wounded. The Governor is said to have animated the crew by his own example, and with 5 or 6 passengers to have been wounded. A variety of other circumstances are related, but we cannot
answer for their correctness—On this brilliant exploit we make but one observation. Truxton deserves from Congress a public vote of thanks.
BALTIMORE, March 14.
The following answer was made to commodore Truxton, responsive to his address to his ship's crew after his engagement of the 1st of February with the French 54 gun ship, as already published in this paper, and peculiarly characterizes the patriotism and bravery of Americans.
ANSWER
To OMMODORE TRUXTON.
SIR,
The officers of every description, the seamen, marines, and every other belonging to the United States ship Constellation, cannot suppress their lively feelings at the kind tribute which you have paid to their respective meritorious exertions.
They with one voice proclaim that under such a commander, whose example would have made even cowards brave, they must have been less than men, not to have acted with the same stimulus of valor which they exhibited in the late engagement with the French national ship of fifty four guns.
They have, with sincere regret, to lament the loss of some of their faithful comrades who fell in the lap of victory.
The circumstances of losing the prize is a secondary consideration, which could only devolve pecuniary advantages to the survivors, the glory and honor of the combat being diffused to the whole.
In behalf of ourselves and the rest of the ship's company.

There was no political news at Calcutta when the above vessels failed; but it was understood that great numbers of French privateers were preparing to cruise in the Indian Ocean. A decree had passed the government at Batavia, directing that for the future, American vessels should take an equal proportion of sugar, pepper and coffee; and the Samuel Smith was said to be the first vessel that had failed under this regulation. The Insurgente frigate, capt. Murray, arrived at Baltimore last Friday evening, from Jamaica. We are informed she has a considerable quantity of specie on board. Ship Pennsylvania, York, (a milking vessel) of and for this port, from Batavia, which failed from thence in July last, was

A SEASONABLE ARTICLE. JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A SOVEREIGN REMEDY For Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthmatics, Sore-throats, and approaching Consumption. THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above complaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with strong opiates (or sleepy drugs) repel red doses of which, flatter and deceive the patient for the present, by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs in their most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion; inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever.—But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dilates and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, discharges the acrimonious humours which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently conquered, the reverie of common medicines, which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present, some of its painful effects.
TO PARENTS Who may have Children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH. This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable; the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
DR. HAMILTON'S Genuine Essence and Extract of  MUSTARD. For Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, &c. a great number of attested cures may be seen at the place of sale. Dr. Hamilton's Grand Reformatory for constitutions debilitated by intemperance of any kind; and for the cure of Nervous Complaints, Inward Weakness, Obsolete Gleet, Fluor Albus in women, &c. Hamilton's justly celebrated Worm Lozenges, the infallible Itch Ointment, Dr. Leroux's Indian Vegetable Specific for Venereal Complaints, Ague and Fever Drops which had never failed effecting a cure, Dr. Hahn's Antiphlogistic Pill, ditto Corn Plasters, the Persian Lotion for the face and skin, Gowland's Lotion, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE Is recommended (particularly to the Ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chapped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS. This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them. Those who wish to procure the medicines genuine, must apply only as above. Wholesale purchasers will receive a liberal allowance by application to LEE & Co. Baltimore, who have obtained the general agency for the United States. Feb. 26. 40rw 2awtf
