Observations on CANAL taken from a speech of Bosc, member of the Tribunal of France, on 2d Nivose.
Every well informed man will allow, that to raise the produce of the soil to its highest value, a communication must be opened to all parts of the country, in the most easy and least expensive manner. There exist only two methods of internal communication; the carriage by land, or the navigation of rivers and canals. We will now speak of canals and, which in opening to internal commerce, a communication and vent the least expensive, will facilitate the transportation of cumberous and low priced commodities, and are precisely in relation to agriculture, what ingenious machines, which save time and simplify labour, are to manufactures.
ARNOLD has demonstrated in an unanswerable manner, how greatly the circulation of territorial produce is affected by the difficulty and high price of land carriage, that empoverishes equally the department which cultivates, and the department which consumes the produce. He has proved that the price of grain in the northern departments compared to that in the southern departments, is nearly as one to four. Thus while in the fertile country of the north the cultivator is kept in a state of miserable poverty by the low price at which he is obliged to sell his produce, the inhabitant of the south has to buy it at so exorbitant a price for the maintenance of his family, that he is exhausted and impoverished. From whence results the ruin of the cultivator from the want of a regular consumption, and that of the consumer from want of a plentiful market. This abuse would be remedied if an equilibrium in the price was established by facility in providing and economy in the transportation.
I could, by accumulating examples, prove to you that many precious mines are not yet explored, and that many important manufactures languish, on account of the difficulty attending transportation. I could present to your view the fertile banks of navigable rivers and lands, intersected by canals, always covered with a rich harvest and a large population; while those places, which are mountainous and deficient of access are poor and thinly peopled. I could point out to you hamble tracts of land covered with swamps and stagnant water, becoming healthy and fertile by the opening of a navigable canal, I could show you scorched and uncultivated plains, made productive by a canal, which served at the same time for transportation and irrigation. If any doubts exist of the feasibility and utility of this system, let the eye be cast over the hydrographical charts where it will be seen that this country is watered by nearly four thousand rivers.
To construct canals at the expence of the government is to load the treasury with an unnecessary burden; it is to submit the execution of the plan to chances which human sagacity cannot calculate; it is to occasion delays, perhaps even dilapidations generally inseparable from the operations of a great administration; it is in a word, to dream of a benefit, but not to realise it.
To yield the property of the canals to those who will dig them, will give an immediate impulse to public opinion, it will employ all the free capitals in those useful enterprizes; it will be to insure their prompt execution, and awaken that spirit of industry which will soon discover the most simple and most economical plans for their construction and improvement. In short, it is perhaps the only means of realizing and completing this beneficial project of internal navigation.
The science of government consists, in putting into motion the two great springs of human nature, interest and self-love. It is by forming a continual and close alliance between public and private interest that projects will be executed worthy of a great people; and that it will surmount obstacles which can only be conquered by a reciprocity of efforts. Let the government
insure to the citizens who will open canals, a certainty of replacing their capitals, and the peaceable and incommutable possession of the profits which they yield, and it will excite among the capitalists, an emulation of acquiring wealth by this employment of their funds and of the glory attached to success in these immortal labors. England is an example of the utility of this scheme, during the last 12 years parliament has incorporated 62 companies for opening canals, all of which have been begun or finished, although she has had to support an expensive war.
The high interest which is given for money, the ease with which it can be advantageously placed, without any hazard or danger, and the power of resuming it at any moment, is an objection to the employment of it in works of this kind: a canal cannot be finished in less than several years, and during this time the funds thus employed are idle and unproductive. To remove this obstacle, and to induce capitalists to engage in these enterprizes, the government should allow to the undertakers an annual, but a decreasing premium, equal the first year to the common and lawful interest, and decreasing one tenth part each succeeding year; this premium should be in proportion to the labours of construction, and to the capitals employed. It should cease as soon as the canal was finished; and a dividend of the profits be afterwards made among the stockholders. Let us for instance imagine a canal of 15 leagues, the estimated expences of which should amount to 3 millions; the interest being 10 per cent. the undertakers, if they employed one million and dug 5 leagues the first year, would receive a premium of 100,000 francs. If they had dug 10 leagues and employed two millions, the second year, they would receive 180,000 francs or 9 per cent. for the funds thus employed; if they terminate their work and employ three millions the third year, they will receive a premium of 240,000 francs or 8 per cent.
You will perceive by this statement that the government with a sum of 15 or 20 millions, divided between 10 or 12 years, will employ in the construction of canals more than a hundred millions, and will rapidly complete the system of internal navigation throughout France.
The property in canals should be as sacred as patrimonial property, and like that inalienable from family to family; with this guarantee, the stockholder will feel as great an interest in their preservation and improvement as we do in the preservation and improvement of the fields of our fathers.
It is by this extensive system of internal navigation, that we shall open cheap and easy communications as various and as multiplied as our wants. It is thus by enlarging the markets for the produce of our soil, that we shall increase the prosperity of our country, encourage the activity of our manufactures, diminish the burden of our taxes, restore to agriculture the labor of men and horses hitherto employed in land carriage, and relieve the public treasury from a great proportion of the expences of constructing and repairing highways, which are perpetually broken and destroyed by the immense weight which is carried over them.
This morning a gentleman politely favoured us with the following copy of the articles of capitulation of the island of St. Thomas, entered into between the governor of that island and the commander of his Britannic majesty's forces.
(COPY.)
CAPITULATION.
ARTICLE 1st.—The island of St. Thomas and St. John's and their dependencies are hereby placed under the protection of his Britannic majesty, until by a conclusion of peace it shall be settled whether they are to be Danish or English property.

2d.—Military honours are to be shewn at the surrender. The officers keep and continue to carry their swords.
Answer.—Agreed. 3d.—All inhabitants of the island are to enjoy the fullest security for their persons and property and other rights, as well as a free exercise of religion.
Answer.—All Danish inhabitants and the subjects of the island and of the United States of America, shall enjoy the fullest security for their persons and properties, as well as the free exercise of religion, provided they do not endeavour collusively to cover property of the enemies of Great Britain and Ireland.—By properties is to be understood goods and merchandizes now on shore.

Answer.—Agreed. 5th.—All Danish officers of this garrison, naval officers and sailors, to be conducted conveniently and safely to their native country and those that may desire to proceed to America or elsewhere to be provided with proper passports.
Answer.—The garrison must be considered as prisoners of war, and will be conveyed to Europe as speedily as possible and every indulgence shewn them.
6th.—No military to be quartered in houses but in barracks and decent rooms to be assigned by the burgher council and a commission appointed to that purpose.
Answer.—Agreed. 7th.—The Danish laws and ordinances to remain in force, all courts and judicial offices to be occupied by the present officers. In case that no appeal can take place to the high court of justice at Copenhagen, one is to be established here by the English government, to consist of three of the most able candidates in law and two respectable citizens, acquainted with the Danish language.
Answer.—The Danish laws and ordinances will remain in force as at present. But the persons filling civil offices, must be subject to the approbation of their excellencies the commanders in chief. In the event of appeal to lie to his Britannic majesty in council.
8th.—The king's and public treasures, all public book keepings and accounts, archives and protocols, remain unaltered under the hands of the respective officers for mutual security and use.
Answer.—All property belonging to the king or the government must be given up to his Britannic majesty, and all public records and papers be submitted to the inspection of the British, and the records and papers will afterwards be allowed to remain in the proper offices.
9th.—His majesty the king of Denmark having advanced a loan to the planters, the said planters continue to pay off according to the method regulated, unto his said majesty. The king of Denmark retains the right of mortgage in the said estates, with the exception that the owners in consideration of precedent in favorable commercial conjunctures and the present circumstances make no payment this year upon the royal loan which has been effected for the benefit of the planters.
Answer to the last articles. But with respect to the payment to be made upon the loan advanced by the king of Denmark to the planters, it is agreed to be left to the determination of the king of Great Britain and Ireland in council, how they are to be made and applied.
10th. No inhabitant shall be compelled to carry arms or perform duty when he has made his oath of military.
Answer.—Agreed to, but they will be requested to take an oath of allegiance, expressing that they will not either openly or secretly do any thing hostile to the British government.
11th. The Americans shall be permitted without constraint to export produces of the island and provide with necessaries. The inhabitants also to ship to America.
Answer. These colonies must trade under the same laws as govern the British West-India islands.
12th. A secret and separate convention to permit the inhabitants of the neighbouring islands, or from the main, to trade thither in order to provide the country with fresh provisions.
Answer. The affirmation to this proposition must depend upon the decisions of his majesty the king of Great Britain and Ireland.
13. The free coloured people of this island shall be regarded and protected as heretofore under the Danish government, and they shall not be forced to do any military duty.
Answer. The Danish free coloured people will be protected as heretofore, and will not be forced to do any military duty, but they must take the oath of allegiance conformable to the answer to article 10th.
14th. The preliminary articles on which this proposed capitulation depends, that the officers sent on board of the fleet ascertain the number of British troops be three thousand men at least.
Answer. His excellency the Danish governor is not expected to sign the capitulation until the return of the officers he has sent to see the British troops.
15th. In the general claim of Danish and neutral property to be respected as belonging to lawful owners, is also comprehended the vessels and all property afloat in this harbour, or what might arrive during the time the Danish colonies remain in possession of his Britannic majesty.
Answer. To reply to the 3d proposition additional, all the forts, military posts and vessels of war, must be given up as soon as the capitulation is ratified by the commander in chief.
16th. It is requested that the military and naval officers should be permitted either to remain here, or to return by the way of America, or any other neutral state, and that the private soldiers and sailors should be provided with passports.
Answer. The officers of the army are to be prisoners of war on their parole of honor, not to serve till exchanged, and will have permission to depart in the most convenient manner with passports, but their stay here must not exceed a month. The non-commissioned officers, soldiers and sailors must be disposed of as his majesty shall direct.
17th. It is understood, it is hoped, that slaves belonging to the Danish subjects or other subjects considered as neutrals, are to be considered as property belonging to the owners, and to continue as such.
Answer. Agreed.
18th. Shall the police of this island continue to perform their official duty with the same authority as under the Danish government, and with the known usages of the colony?
Answer. Agreed, unless ordered otherwise.
19th. The property afloat considered to be given into the hands of the British commanders will be considered it is hoped as left under sequestration, and not to be disposed of, but in case of a declaration of war and all such property to be treated in the same manner as was usual, in case of declaration by British cruizers, before the present understanding between the British and Danish nations.
Answer. The property afloat will be detained agreeable to his majesty's instruction in the hands of agents who are responsible for their conduct, and are only to dispose of perishable articles. It will probably be found expedient to send part of this property to Europe, to await his majesty's decision.
20th. In regard to the twelfth article of the Capitulation, referred to the determination of his Britannic majesty, it is hoped their excellencies the Commanders in chief will give a proviso, order to admit all traders with provisions as heretofore, because this Island from immediate wants of provisions might be exposed to great inconveniences and sufferings.
Answer. The commanders in chief will take the matter in consideration, being dif-

posed to do what may be of advantage to the Colony.
21st. The King's Surgeon belonging to the Garrison having great practice in this Island, will be suffered it is hoped to remain undisturbed as a particular regarded practitioner in the Colony.
Answer. Agreed taking oath of Allegiance.
22d. For the use of this and other Danish Islands has been issued by his Danish Majesty a certain paper currency whereof a considerable sum is now in possession of the Community, and as such paper money has hitherto passed to great use and convenience of the Inhabitants, it is hoped that it will henceforth be ordered to pass as current money.
Answer. The Commanders in chief permit the paper money of Denmark to pass current for the convenience of the colony, but do not mean to compel merchants to take it in large payments or English seamen for their wages.

Singular case of Hydrophobia.
[From the N. Y. Med. Rep.]
Levi Hoodruff, aged forty-three years, died at Southington, in the state of Connecticut, on Sunday the fifteenth day of April one thousand seven hundred ninety-seven.
The origin and progress of his disorder are well worthy of being recorded.
He felt himself considerably indisposed on Thursday the twelfth of April; was affected with a pricking pain in his ear, with a head-ache, and other unusual sensations. On Friday the thirteenth he was abroad. At evening, feeling his indisposition increase, a physician was called in. From a slight degree of hydrophobia, the physician was alarmed with an apprehension of canine madness; but having never heard, though a near neighbor, of the patient's having been exposed to be bitten, he suggested nothing at that time, of his fears. On the morning of Saturday the 14th he saw him again, and observing an increase of the same symptom, he suggested the idea to the family. It was then recollected by them, that for a length of time the patient had accustomed a small dog belonging to a neighboring family, to lick an ulcerated fore, within his ear; that four weeks previous to that time the dog was put to lick the fore; that the operation was more than commonly painful, and that a small breach was made in the skin of the ear by the tongue, or teeth of the dog; that the next day the dog appeared affected with symptoms of madness, and on the following day was killed. No apprehensions of mischief were entertained at the time; nor had it been thought of after. The physician was now convinced that the disorder must have proceeded from the virus infused by the dog; but this conviction was obtained at a period too late to admit an effectual application of remedies. Through the whole of Saturday the patient was constantly craving water; but was thrown into the most violent agitations and horror on the sight of it. Through the night he was very restless. In the morning of Sunday his disorder increased to a height astonishing to all the spectators. He continued in a most distressed condition till sun-set; and then expired in all the anguish which attends this most terrible of human maladies.
He appeared to possess a considerable degree of reason through the whole scene; was perfectly able to distinguish, and speak to, every acquaintance around him, and was apparently sensible that his dissolution was fast approaching.
A circumstance peculiarly favorable to his friends and attendants, and remembered by them with gratitude, was that he shewed no disposition, at any time, to do the smallest injury or mischief to any person; but was constant in expressing the warmest benevolence for his family and neighbors.

Extract of a Letter from a gentleman at New-Orleans to his correspondent in Philadelphia, dated April 1801.
"There is now a regular post established between this city and Natchez, which leaves here on the first and third Mondays in every month, so as to act in concert with the post which leaves Natchez every second and fourth Monday for the United States. By this means a safe communication is now opened between the United States and this place, which has been hitherto much wanted. I presume letters will be about 5 or 6 weeks between this and New-York."
Extract of a letter dated Cork 2d mo. 27th, 1801.
"This city, the night before last, was alarmed with an apprehension, that a mob was forming in order to rise, in consequence of their suffering state, for want of bread; about eleven o'clock many guards of soldiers, both foot and horse, were passing under my window, marching in different directions, in order to put a stop to this awful scene, which, however, took place next morning; and awful indeed it was to see, to behold the street darkened with poor miserable looking creatures, marching through the town; their sign as they marched, was a very small poor looking loaf of bread, fixed on the end of a wooden staff, and just above it a small piece of barley bread, dressed in black, in token of their distress; they did not appear to have any weapons, not even clubs, but thus marched down to the house of the mayor of the city. An officer of the military rushed on just before them, and desired the mayor to go out and speak comfortably to them, in order to prevent mischief, which he did, and promised them some steps should be taken for their relief, when they quietly returned to their homes; but relief not coming according to their expectations, the street is again darkened with a mob, with the token, a reduced piece of bread on the staff. The consequence is, dreaded but not yet known, (so I stop awhile.)"
"Three o'clock in the afternoon. Several guards of soldiers being called out, stooped and surrounded the mob, which was more formidable than yesterday, and the general reasoners with them, telling them efforts were on foot, for their relief, if they'd have a little patience; and then the troops were ordered to disperse them, which they submitted to, without any resistance, and again returned to their homes."
PHILADELPHIA, April, 1801.
SIR,
As false and injurious reports are in circulation tending to injure the Character of the officers of the Constellation, accusing them of neglect of duty in being all absent from the ship at the time of the late unfortunate accident, the undersigned begs leave to state a few particulars worthy of notice, and which they will attest if required.
That the ship was moored by the pilot with half cables, ebb and flood, and considered by you, and by all her officers, as in a state of perfect security, will be acknowledged, from your compliance with the orders of the naval department to discharge the crew, who, at the time of the accident were receiving their pay from the purser.
That in your daily visits to the ship, and particularly on the day previous to the accident, you gave the officers orders to shut in the air ports, and lay on the tarpaulins, in case of squalls or bad weather: No suspicions having been entertained of our being so near a sand-bank you indulged the sailing master with a furlough.
That the ship was never left without the proper officers to attend her, and that at the time of the accident the following officers were on board, viz. Lieut. Van Dyke, Lieut. Caldwell, Mr. Collins, sailing master; Mr. Johnson, gunner; Mr. Miller, sail-maker; several of the ward-room servants, and the marine detachment, invalids excepted, making about 50 men in the whole.
That your orders were put into execution by the officers themselves shutting in the air ports, driving them, &c. before the fall over, though it was impossible to caulk them.
That on the ship taking the ground, we considered her in the bed of the river, and attributed it to her great draft of water and the uncommon lowness of the tide.
That the situation the ship was moored in, and her anchors settling home in consequence of a heavy blow from the N. W. was evidently the cause of the disaster, and which could not possibly have been prevented, had all the crew have been on board.
We have every reason therefore to hope that on an enquiry, the officers of the Constellation will stand acquitted of every imputation of neglect, and notwithstanding a report prevails that some of the air ports were found open when the ship was got upon her keel. We herewith subjoin a certificate from the carpenter of the Philadelphia, that they were all shut in, though two of them had been forced open about two inches, by the pressure of the water from the inside when the righted.
With deep regret for the unpleasant circumstance,
We remain, Sir, with great respect, your obedient servant, HENRY VANDYKE, Lieut.
HENRY CALDWELL, commanding marine detachment, B. COLLINS, Tailing-master.
Captain Murray.

This is to certify, that I went on board of the frigate Constellation at the request of Mr. Humphreys, with two other carpenters, to see if the air ports were hauled in—on examination I found that all I could see were hauled in but not caulked, and the officers assured me they had them all hauled in; but as they were not caulked I stuffed into the ports from inside, all the hammocks, matresses, pillows, and blankets, that I could lay my hands on, and battened as many of them as I could. I soon found that she made a great quantity of water, and on going aft I perceived the water spouting up to the gun deck through the water closet; I looked about for the plug, which I soon found, and from its situation had every reason to believe it had been put in, but was driven out by the great force of water—however, this I cannot be certain of. I then put it in and shored it down, recollecting that Mr. Humphreys gave me particular orders to have the gun room port secured; by the time that was done, I found very considerable water in the ship, when she soon filled. All this was within half an hour.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
RESULT of the Conference held at Ratisbon, in the Hall of the College of Princes, dictated by the directory of Mentz, on the 24th of Feb.
It has been decreed in the name of the three Colleges—
1. That the Protocol should be opened in ten days, that is, on the 6th of March, in order to deliberate respecting the ratification of the treaty of Luneville.
2. That the Directory of Mentz should be requested to dispatch a Courier to acquaint the Imperial Minister at Vienna with the foregoing Resolution.
3. That after the example of the manner in which the full powers were made out the 24th of December, 1797, for the Deputation at Rastadt, it should be proposed to the Imperial Minister at Vienna to authorise the principal Commissary of the Emperor at Ratisbon to ratify the treaty of peace, not only in the name of the Empire, but also to expedite the conclusum by which the Diet will ratify the treaty of Luneville, directly to Count Cobenzel, at Luneville.
4. That the Directory of Mentz shall communicate to the principal Commissary, in the usual manner, the result of the present conference, and request him to obtain from his Imperial Majesty the necessary powers to fulfil the object it has in view.
6. To make the General Directory of the Posts responsible for every delay that may obstruct the expedition of the ESTAFETTES, which shall this day be transmitted to all the States, acquainting them with every thing that has been determined upon.
LONDON March 14.
The Moniteur of the 14th Ventose, contains a variety of extracts of intercepted letters from Lord Keith to the English Consul at Tunis, relating chiefly to the blockade of Marseilles, Toulon and Nice, and instructing him to communicate to the Bey, that no vessel will be allowed to enter any of these ports. The consul is also instructed to bargain for supplies of wheat for the garrison in the Mediterranean. They mention that the British fleet and army failed from Malta for Egypt on the 31st of December; and give a description of the armament, which encourages every hope of its success. That our forces have landed on the Syrian coast is no longer doubtful.
Letters from Jaffa state, that the entire camp had been ill. The Grand Vizier had lost upwards of 800 Mamelouks and a principal Bey by the plague; his whole force was under 10,000 men, his levies from Albania were very tardy, and although he promised to expect an immediate reinforcement of 75,000 men, he scarcely ever received a supply of more than 2 or 300 at a time. The application which the Vizier made for the assistance of a British army to aid in dispossessing the French of Egypt, amongst other stipulations, required that this army should be placed under his command, and that it should retire from Egypt immediately as its subjection was effected. The Vizier thought 5000 British troops competent to his service, and limited his request to that number. General Koehler, by means of pygmy battalions, painted on small pieces of wood, labours to instruct the Turks in tactics, and by this mechanical demonstration, has done much towards per-
suading them of the advantages of discipline. General Koehler retains his staff, notwithstanding the arrival of Sir Ralph Abercrombie: he is engaged in fortifying Jaffa as a depot of stores and provisions, and as a point du raillement in the event of defeat. Comparing however, the means and energy employed, with the magnitude of the work, it is not probable that it will be completed in less than 12 or 18 months.
March 16.
A letter from Oudenburgh, of Feb. 17. states, 6000 Turkish troops at Ibrarona were surprised by Pafawan Oglon, in the night time, and the greater part of them put to the sword. The city was afterwards given up to pillage, and a great number of the houses reduced to ashes.
A Danish squadron has orders to sail to the North Sea with the first favorable wind. It consists of 4 ships of the line, and some frigates.
Tuesday advices were received at the admiralty, of the actual commencement of hostilities against the Swedes. The Dryad frigate, capt. Madsfield, on her passage to the West Indies, fell in with a Swedish frigate. Capt. Mansfield willing to spare the unnecessary effusion of blood, sent a boat off to inform the Swedish commander of the orders he had received to stop and detain all the vessels of that nation he might fall in with, and notifying to him the inevitable consequence of his not surrendering his ship. Not receiving a satisfactory answer, a smart action ensued; and the event was such as might be expected. The Swedish frigate has been brought into Cork, with the loss of 5 men killed, and 17 wounded.
LONDON, March 27.
The declaration of the new minister in the house of commons on Wednesday, certainly leaves no room to doubt that measures are to be speedily adopted to open a negotiation with the French republic. He stated that,
“With respect to the subject of peace with the enemy, he could assure the honorable member, his majesty's ministers were earnestly disposed to that desirable object, and determined to oppose nothing on their parts unfair or unreasonable to impede an event so devoutly to be wished. They had no reason to imagine the enemy disposed for peace, or desirous of throwing in its way any insurmountable obstacles.”
The idea of a negotiation being about to take place, has produced a considerable rise in the funds.
HAMBURGH, March 17.
While the Danes are constructing batteries along the Elbe, stationing armed vessels, and making preparations of defence, Sir James Crauford, the British minister at Hamburg, whose talents have been so long and so justly distinguished, passes his time when affairs at Hamburg do not require his presence, at Rainville, near Altona. He had last Friday a party to dinner, which was very remarkable. Among the visitors were general Pichegru and general Dumourier, who resides at Niteren, near Altona, with the duke d'Avaray. The two generals met there for the first time. Pichegru said that he was very happy to see Dumourier, as he had served under him before the revolution as serjeant of artillery in the garrison of Strasburgh.
AUGSBURGH, February 25.
It is stated in a letter from the prince of Conde's head-quarters, that on the 10th inst. his serene highness, in general orders, issued the following note, which he had received from the British minister, Mr. Wickham:
“In answer to the last notes which your royal highness addressed to me from Gratz and Windtisch Feistritz, under the dates of the 20th, 29th, and 30th of January, I have the honor to inform you,
“1. That I am not authorised to declare the future destination of the corps of Conde; but, in the present circumstances, it will be embarked and employed in the expeditions in the Mediterranean. So far as I can judge from the orders I have received, Egypt is the place of its destination. In the mean time it will be under the orders of Gen. Abercrombie, who has the chief command of all the British troops in the Mediterranean, and the corps of Conde will be employed according to the intentions of this general, and as his plan and circumstances may require.
“2. If, as is very probable, the corps shall be immediately embarked, there shall be left behind, in a place of security, all the sick and wounded, and, in general, all those who are disabled from serving; where they shall remain until the return of the entire corps.”
“In order to prepare, without delay the vessels necessary for their embarkation, and to acquaint Gen. Abercrombie with the exact amount of the reinforcements he will receive, it is necessary to transmit to me a statement of the force of the corps. For this purpose his Royal Highness is requested to make known that each officer or noble must declare before the 20th of February whether he intends to remain with the corps. Such as shall not have done so, are not to expect any part of the gratuities granted by my king. But if at the time of embarkation, the corps shall be found weaker than is expected, the king, my master, would scarcely be disposed to permit the corps, and the individuals who compose it, to enjoy the same protection which they have hitherto enjoyed.”
The prince of Conde published this note without any comment; but it is positively stated that he verbally declared he would not embark.
The publication of this note of Mr. Wickham produced the utmost dissention among the whole corps.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 10.
The Grand Vizier's army is for the most part disbanded at Jaffa, where the plague has hitherto raged in the Turkish camp and made dreadful havoc. Even the Grand Vizier's physician, and some of the English officers of artillery, have fallen victims. General Koehler is dead; and his wife, who had followed him to the Turkish camp, died a few days before him. Whether or not the co-operation of the Grand Vizier against Egypt will take place is at present undetermined.
The English fleet has failed against the Egyptian coast. It is said the Turkish fleet will depart in 12 days. To repair the very great loss the army of the Grand Vizier has sustained by the plague and desertion, some transports with troops have been sent from hence. They are to be followed by others.
The report is confidently revived that 6000 French have landed in Africa, on the coast of Algiers, and are on their march towards Egypt. It is said that gen. Massena is at the head of this corps.
It is said that a change is on the eve of taking place in the Turkish ministry. The ambassador who is on his return from Vienna, is to be appointed Reis Effendi. We are assured that the Grand Vizier will be recalled.
The plague in the Turkish camp daily carries off from two to three hundred persons; the Grand Vizier is, of course necessitated to remove from Jaffa. The troops which have marched towards Syria consist of 2000 men.

The terms of sale are sixty, ninety and one hundred and twenty days for all sums under 1000 dollars, and nine months credit for all sums amounting to one thousand dollars or upwards. It is expected purchases may be made to greater advantage at the ensuing sale than heretofore; because, at former sales a competition took place among persons who held liens on the property sold.
The commissioners have also at their disposal upwards of 4000 lots which have never been sold.
The public sale to commence at Ten o'clock, in the forenoon, and to continue on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in each week, till all are sold. The purchasers will be required to give notes, endorsed to the satisfaction of the commissioners, and negotiable at any of the banks in Baltimore, George Town or Alexandria. Should any purchaser fail, at the expiration of the week in which such sale is made to pass his note with an approved endorser or endorsers, the sale will be declared void, and the lot or lots resold without further notice—and such purchaser shall be excluded as a bidder during the sale.
