Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, February 25.
The Dublin mails of the 18th, 19th, and 20th, instant, have arrived since our last. By the last of these we learn that some serious affrays have taken place in different parts of the country, in consequence of the extraordinary degree of irritation which the discussion of the subject of the union has caused in the public mind. At Drogheda, a town about five and twenty miles north of the metropolis, a British corps is stated to have been attacked and beaten by a regiment of Irish militia; at Clonmel, in the south, an affair of a similar nature is said to have happened; and the county of Down is also understood to be in a very perturbed state. We trust, however, that these accounts will prove to have materially exaggerated the facts, and that the question will ultimately be decided by the fair conviction of cool discussion, and not by the outrageous force of hostile arms. Nothing particular had occurred in the House of Commons since Tuesday morning. The next debate on the articles of the union was fixed for Friday.
March 3.
We are assured that the return of Mr. Gore to America is entirely on his private concerns, and has no relation whatever to the subject of the embassy. We rejoice to hear it.
March 8.
On Thursday advices were received at the admiralty office, from Sir Alan Gardner, off Brest. These state that the combined French and Spanish fleets, to the amount of 43 sail of the line, besides frigates, were apparently ready for, and indicated a disposition to put to sea. Sir Alan had only twenty sail of the line with him at the time, but reinforcements from Torbay must soon have reached him; and Lord Bridport himself who was expected to sail on Thursday, has probably by this time joined the squadron of observation.
PARIS, 2 Ventose, Feb. 21.
By letters from Alencon, written by general Gardanne, mention that the Chouans in the departments of La Manche and L'Orne are laying down their arms and foreclosing at discretion, as also all the pretended chiefs of legion, among whom are Ruay, Rhoan Chaban, Lebrun, &c. &c.
When the Minister of Justice introduced to Buonaparte the judges of the different courts, &c. Target, the President of the Tribunal of Cassation, addressed the Chief Consul as follows: "Justice is the natural ally of Power: by it Power is rendered sacred—by Power, Justice is invincible; by their union the public prosperity is secured. Your glory and the constitution are the pledges of both these benefits." Buonaparte replied—"Justice has too long been usurped by factions; it belongs to all; it ought to be distributed to all according to invariable principles."
The six white horses which drew Buonaparte's carriage on the day of the installation of the consuls were those presented to him by the Emperor of Germany on the conclusion of the peace of Campo Formio. The sword he wore on that occasion was likewise a present from the Emperor on the same occasion.
February 25.
A French officer of artillery wrote to Buonaparte from Hamburg in nearly the following terms:—
"We have been heretofore comrades and friends; the difference in our principles induced us to an opposite conduct in the revolution: yours has led to great power; mine has caused me to be plundered of my effects, of my estate, and to be proscribed from my country. I do not repent of what I have done, and shall persist in my principles to the end of my life. But I have left in France a father and mother whom I tenderly love. For their consolation and my own, I set a great value on embracing them before death shall separate us forever, I therefore request of you a passport, as limited as you shall think proper, in order to make them my last adieu. If you should please to grant it me, I declare that during my sojournment I shall do nothing to disturb the existing order of things."
In answer, the author of this letter received an unlimited passport, and money to defray the expences of his journey.

CITIZEN CONSUL,
I hasten to communicate to you some interesting dispatches, which I have received from General Gardanne, commander of the 14th military division. It appears from these dispatches that he has discovered, in the neighbourhood of the commune of Chano, several hiding places, whither the chiefs of the Chouans were in the habit of retiring during peace, and when they were pursued by justice. They had deposited there part of the arms and equipments furnished by the English. This discovery was made in consequence of the confession of two Chouans who were at his mercy, and whom he threatened to shoot. They pointed out to him a locksmith, named Aubine, of the commune of Chano, whom they know to be perfectly acquainted with secret places. In the first they found arms, effects, and papers in great quantity. In the second, which was the Asylum of Frotte, they surprised his secretary, and a person named Legrenade. The former was killed as he stood upon his defence; the second promised to make some
useful discoveries in case his life was spared. It was in consequence of his information, that five other places of concealment have been discovered, containing Pileul, called Dufour; Major General Champy, aide-major, and Augilla, aid du camp of Caudranque. The latter remained on the field of battle. They found, besides, in a subterraneous magazine, about 200 suits of English uniform, a great many slippers, boots, about 30 muskets, a quantity of bayonets, sabres, cartridge, and various other articles. Legrenade said, that the father of Frotte, was expected from England in six days. The secretary who was killed was to have gone to meet him. This expedition was conducted by citizen Lafitte, capt. adjoint to adjutant general Briss, who has displayed on this occasion much zeal and judgment.
By another dispatch, the same general informs me, that a person of the name of Lavicoire, who commanded a company of twenty five men, in the vicinity of the same commune of Chano, has been taken in arms, and shot on the spot; that after the death of their chief, his men submitted to the laws of the republic; and that this expedition has completely purified the surrounding communes, which were the resort of the Chouans. This last success is to be attributed to citizen Bertrand, captain of the movable column of Corneille, the conduct of which Gardanne has highly praised.
Health and respect.
(Signed) LEFEBVRE.
DRESDEN, February 12.
The Russian troops are in full march on their return home. A new Courier has brought an order for them to halt only every sixth day, instead of every third.
STRASBURGH, Feb. 12.
All the German Gazettes, which lately propagated doubts respecting the retreat of the Russian army, speak now of their retrograde march across Moravia and Gallicia. Paul had at first ordered that his troops should march at the rate of thirty miles a day, but the bad state of the roads prevented its execution, and in a conference held at Cracow the 1st of Feb. it was agreed that they should not make longer marches than when on their way to Italy. They are divided into eight columns of which four will pass by western Gallicia, and cross Cracovia; the other four will pass by Lemberg. The first column that was to pass by Cracovia was expected there Feb. 7.
The reports of Peace still maintain in Germany; but while they hope to re-establish peace between France and Austria, the German papers are making a war on another point. They pretend that Paul has recalled his troops with so much precipitation only for the purpose of collecting them on the frontiers of Prussian Silesia, and thus forcing, by menaces, the Prussian government to declare itself against France.—Such a menace will not intimidate

READING, April 12.
To the Freemen of Berks County. IN order to refute any calumnies respecting Gen. Bower, which might have reached the Governor, two gentlemen of Reading who had been friends to Mr. McKean's election, went to Lancaster.
They reminded the Governor of General Bower's services in the revolutionary war—testified to his merit as a man, as Register and Recorder, and to his moderate conduct at the last election...
Mr. Scull in consequence of encouragement which he received, went to Lancaster, to solicit a continuance in his office. In order to avoid an insult (if possible) he got a friend to call on the Great Man and enquire when he could have the honor of an audience...
Mr. Scull—I have done myself the honor to wait on Your Excellency, to request a renewal of my Commission as Clerk of the Orphan's Court of Berks County.
His Excellency—I have not yet made up my mind, I have not yet made any appointments in Berks County, and shall not for some time—and Sir, your conduct is not approved of by some people in your county.
Mr. Scull—Are there any charges against me as an officer, Sir? If there are, I am ready in an instant to justify myself.
His Excellency—Sir! I never enter into arguments on subjects of this kind; but thus much I can tell you Sir, that your conduct as an officer of the State Government has been improper...
Mr. Read—Royalty! You have been misinformed Sir, no such idea. I am convinced every entered the head of any gentleman of Reading.
His Excellency—Sir! I have good authority for what I say—pretty going on here too—I wish to conciliate, but they won't do it—the other day to be sure the fellows (alluding to the members of the Assembly) were highly offended at a letter Mr. Bryan sent...
Here Mr. Scull, concluded either that the old gentleman was deranged or intoxicated, and finding that he was not likely to get any satisfaction, took his hat and wished him a good morning.
From the foregoing fact may we not reasonably infer:
1. That the governor was not influenced in his removals from office by any of the reasons assigned by him in his reply to the Senate... 2. That his real motive was either what the Senate charged him with, to wit "Because the officers exercised their rights as freemen," or something worse which he dare not avow...
I do not mean to comment on the folly, meanness, insolence, injustice, or inhumanity of such conduct—It is not necessary—No person worthy the name of a freeman defends it—It is almost universally execrated...

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, April 29.
The bill to promote the Manufacture of Sheet Copper within the United States, by the incorporation of a Company for carrying on the same was read a third time and passed—ayes 53.
Mr. New said, he had understood from the Clerk that several volumes of the Journals of the Old Congress, which he had been directed to subscribe for, were now completed, and ready for delivery...
Resolved, That the Clerk of this House be directed to deliver to the members such of the Journals of the Old Congress as have been printed.
Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. D. Foller, from the Committee of Claims, to whom was referred the report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the petition of Charles Pettit, made report that it would be proper to adopt the said report...
The House again Resolved itself into a Committee of the whole on the bill to provide for the execution of the 27th article of the treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, made with Great Britain—Mr. Rutledge in the chair—and another amendment of Mr. Nicholas, providing that no American citizens, who may have been impressed, and shall liberate himself, shall be delivered up—being under consideration—after some debate, Mr. Marshall proposed several modifications of the amendment, which embraced the principle contended for—A motion was then made and carried that the committee
rise—ayes 43—noes 42. Leave was given to sit again—and Mr. Marshall's motion was ordered to be printed.
The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of the Select Committee to whom was committed the bill from the Senate prescribing the mode of deciding disputed elections of President and Vice President of the United States.
The Committee recommended the rejection of the principles contained in the bill, and propose substituting the following.
That each house shall choose by ballot, four of its members, who shall form a joint committee, and have power to examine into all disputes relative to the election of President and Vice President...
All documents, (other than those inclosed in the packets containing the certificates of the votes of the Electors) petitions, exceptions and memorials against the votes of the Electors, or the persons for whom they have voted, to be delivered to this committee.
The committee to have power to send for persons, papers and records. All testimony to be reduced to writing, and signed by the witness. Persons swearing falsely, to incur the penalty attached to wilful and corrupt perjury.
Marshalls of the United States directed to serve process issued by the committee.
Witnesses to receive the same compensation as if attending the Supreme Court of the United States.
The Committee to appoint a Clerk, who shall, under their direction, keep a journal of their proceedings, to be reported to both houses.
Tellers to be appointed by each house, before their assembling to count the votes, whose duty it shall be to receive the certificates of the Electors from the President of the Senate, after they shall have opened and read, and to note in writing the debates of the certificates, the names of the Electors, the time of their election, and the time and place of their meeting, the number of votes given, and the names of the persons voted for; and also the substance of the certificates from the Executive of each state, accompanying the votes of the Electors.
As soon as the Committee shall have made their report, both houses shall meet for the purpose of counting the votes.
That he has by refusing to see a certificate signed by three fourths of the free men of Berks county—(or saying that it was unnecessary to see it) shown that he considers the county as governed by colonels Heister and Frauley, and that the inhabitants are slaves and not freemen—and
That Thomas McKean acts as the governor of a party and not of the State.
In my next number I will enquire whether the governor is warranted in his assertion that he deserves praise rather than censure for his official arrangements—and into the real motives of those arrangements.
When the joint committee shall have been formed, it shall not be in the power of either house to dissolve it, or to withdraw any of its members.
The two houses may adjourn from day to day, passing over Sunday, until the count shall be completed.
The executive of each state to furnish the electors respectively with a copy of the law or resolution under which they are to act; copies of which the electors are to annex to each list of their votes.
All petitions respecting election to be presented to the Senate, and then to be transmitted to the House of Representatives, where they shall be read, and afterwards delivered to the joint committee.
Judges of courts of the United States, and others qualified, directed to take evidence, when thereunto required, by any person petitioning against or contesting the votes given by the electors; provided public notice for such weeks shall be given in the paper printed at the seat of government in the state, of such intention, and the points intended to be established thereby.
NOTICE. All persons indebted to the estate of PHILIP SUPER, late of the Northern Liberties, deceased, are desired to make immediate payment; and those having demands on the same, to bring in their accounts duly attested, at No. 35 Key's Alley. PHILIP SUPER, Junr. JACOB SUPER. April 30.
The committee also propose altering the title, so as to read "An act prescribing the mode of counting the votes for President and Vice President of the United States."
Mr. Nicholas, after complementing the committee for the material and beneficial changes made in the bill referred to them, said, it was not yet, in his opinion, a just one—and particularly objected to the appointment of the committee contemplated.
Mr. Gallatin objected to the principle contained in the 8th paragraph, between crotchets, as being unconstitutional, and moved to strike out that part of the bill; was opposed by Mr. Marshall; after which the committee rose, and obtained leave to sit again.
A message was received from the President of the United States, by Mr. Shaw, his secretary, notifying that the President had approved and signed the act intitled "An act to authorize the President of the United States, to accept for the United States, a cession of jurisdiction of territory lying west of Pennsylvania, commonly called the Western Reserve of Connecticut;" and also an act intitled "An act to provide for rebuilding the Light House at New London, for the support of a Light House at Clarke's Point; for the support and erection of a Light House at Wagwain Point; and for other purposes."
A message was received from the Senate by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing the House that the Senate have passed the bill for the preservation of public Arsenals and Magazines, sent from this House; and that the Senate accede to the conference requested on the bill for dividing the North Western Territory into two separate governments; also, that the Senate have passed a bill supplemental to the act intitled an act to augment the army of the United States, and for other purposes, to which they request the concurrence of this House.

THE FUTURE FRENCH NATION. A PROGNOSTICK.
THE depopulation of France has been much greater than is easily to be conceived—Emigration, the Guillotine, Levies "en masse" and the impressments, better known under the title of Conscriptions, have effectually drained the interior of France of all the youthful, hearty, and able-bodied male inhabitants, and a day is very near and rapidly advancing, when it will be found full as difficult for the Republic to recruit her armies by any means whatever as it is now found to re-establish her finances.
We are assured from a respectable authority that very serious apprehensions are entertained by the most enlightened and best informed of the French for the very existence of the Nation itself, and for the future appearance, form and mental, as well as bodily powers of the inhabitants of France.
In a late consultation of several members of the National Institute, and the failure of population being the subject, it was generally agreed that peace must speedily be made, or that the race of Frenchmen would soon be extinct.
"What a prospect is before us, (said one of the members) our youth are all in the army, or in foreign countries—Marriages are every where discouraged throughout the republic—Prostitution and debauchery have arisen to an height unequalled in the most vicious stages of the ancient monarchy. In fact, there are no husbands for our women? Who have we at home, except boys, old men, the lame, the blind, the maimed and the diseased.
Sir, I maintain, that unless an end be put to this calamitous war, and we can get home our warriors who are really men to re-produce a French people, we are, alas, nearly exhausted! We shall in a very few years present to Europe a nation as unlike the present race of men as are the tribes of Quirang-Outang's apes or monkeys of Africa.
An arrival at Baltimore, brings the affecting detail of one of the late murders of a crew of our countrymen by the French. Since which, another massacre of a whole ship's company has taken place. In a late paper we read that TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY American vessels have within a short time been condemned in a single Spanish port; we hear every day of the subjects of that nation attacking under French colors; and now they have the impudence to declare a port of great importance to our trade, a state of Blockade; a pretence more ridiculous than language can express.

THE LAY PREACHER; OR Essays, Moral, Economical, Political and Literary.
"May not I strive amid the motley throng, ALL FALE AND PENSIVE, as I mule along.

PROPOSALS  By WILLIAM COBBETT, For importing the following periodical publications:   1. The British Critick;  2. The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine;  3. The Gentleman's Magazine;  4. Le Mercure Britannique, or The British Mercury. 
THE British Critick is a regular Review of all the works published in Great Britain; it is conducted with great impartiality and ability, and of the numerous publications of the kind which do now appear, and which have appeared in Great Britain; it is universally allowed to be the best.
[Price 50 Cents.]
The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine is as its title seems to indicate, rather more confined, as to the nature of its subjects, but it certainly is not less calculated for extensive utility. This work is divided into four departments: 1 Original Criticism—2 A Review of the other Reviews—3 Occasional Essays, in prose and verse—and 4th, A Monthly Summary of History and Politics. Every six months it has a supplement, containing a review of foreign works, not forgetting those of America. The Anti-Jacobin dwells less on subjects which are merely literary and scientific, than on those which have a more immediate influence on society. With a bold and masterly hand, it corrects the blunderings of error, traces the intricate windings of misrepresentation, and strips off the mask of hypocrisy. The avowed champion of the church and the state, it spares the enemies of neither, whether open or secret; and, scorning the pusillanimous defensive, upon which the friends of truth have too long relied, it carries on a continual and vigorous offensive warfare against anarchy, immorality, and irreligion, and thus establishes by its uniform conduct, its right to the title it has assumed.
[Price 50 Cents.]
The Gentleman's Magazine , a work stamped with the approbation of three score years, consists chiefly of communications from antiquaries and cultivators, and of original essays, in verse and prose written by the most learned and ingenious men in the kingdom, and embracing by turns, almost every subject interesting to man. The miscellaneous part of the work is followed by a selection of authentick foreign and domestic intelligence, including official reports, state-papers, and an abstract of the proceedings in parliament; next comes a very copious obituary, being not merely a list of deaths, but a valuable series of biography; to which is added, a Meteorological Diary and Table, a Bill of Mortality for London and its environs, a table of the average prices of corn, and of the stocks, for every day in the month: So that this work must ever be an entertaining and useful companion, not only to those who are of the learned professions, commonly so called, but to the merchant, the farmer, and, in short, to every man, whatever may be the subject of his study, or the object of his pursuit.
[Price 40 Cents.]
Le Mercure Britannique, or British Mercury , by Monsieur Mallet Du Pan—This work, of which one number is published every fortnight, in French and in English, commenced in August 1798, and is continued with increasing spirit and celebrity. It is both historical and critical ; it contains a summary, and is the repository, of all the important events, established facts, and public instruments, which relate to the present era; it investigates points of fact, of politics, and national rights; it extends its view over all the nations of Europe, examines the conduct and discloses the motives of their respective courts; it is in short a brief and comprehensive history of the times, equally remarkable for the elegance of its style, the profundity of its remarks, and the soundness of its principles.
[Price 50 Cents.]
These four works comprise every thing useful in the periodical way. Gentlemen may subscribe for all, or for either, of them. The first order is intended to be sent off on the 1st of May next; the successive numbers will be received at New York in two months upon an average after, their publication in London; so that those which are subscribed for on or before the 1st of May, will be received in September; after which they will with very little irregularity, come to hand once a month, the importer having made such arrangements as cannot fail of securing punctuality on the part of his correspondents.
Subscriptions will be received from any part of America, by J. W. FENNO, Philadelphia. No advance is required. The prices are but four cents a number higher than in London. April 3.
