Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, May 21.
We hear, that it is at length finally concluded that the Princess Royal is to give her hand to the Prince of Wirtemberg. Count Zappelin, it is said has been the successful suitor for his prince on the occasion.
The Austrian general Argenteau, second in command, has been arrested on a charge of misconduct during the late campaign in Italy, and is to be brought to a court martial. He is a prisoner at Mantua.
The report of peace is again very prevalent in London, and the return of Mr. Netman from Paris is anxiously expected. This gentleman has been associated with M. Charretier, as agent for French prisoners in this country, and approved of as such by our Ministry. He was formerly under M. Barthelemi, in the service of the French Ambassador in London; and was sent off on Monday last night express to Paris, supposed to be charged with a mission of importance. An express was sent off to Dover 12 hours before Mr. Netman left London, with a letter from the Duke of Portland to the Mayor, to let this gentleman meet with no delay, and that a packet might be in readiness to receive him. He sailed from Dover to Calais under a flag of truce and was only two hours and a half on his passage. Mr. Charretier accompanied him to Dover, but not to France.
Scarce any thing of the events which have occurred in the progress of the French revolution are more extraordinary than those of the present day. Almost in the same sitting of their legislative bodies, they consult on the first movements towards peace, made by Mr. Wickham to Mr. Barthelemi, they receive news of victories decisive of the fate of Italy and the submissive proposals for peace from Sardinia and Naples, and in the same breath they announce to the people that a conspiracy has been just discovered in the perpetration, headed by men of the first abilities, some of them of the legislative body, threatening the massacre of all the constituted authorities, and the re-establishment of the bloody system of 1793.
The conspirators accuse the present powers of intending to restore the monarchy: they retort the charge on the conspirators and urge the nation to oppose the restoration of the constitution of 1793 to the utmost, as the only means of establishing the Republic and the liberty of France.
LONDON, May 30.
A letter from the Hague, of the 18th inst. says, that the Committee of Union having communicated to the National Assembly the contents of a note from Gen. Bourmonville, in which he insists, that a commander in chief of the army of the State shall be appointed without delay, the Assembly nominated Gen. Bourmonville to that office, and invested him with full power.
The Louis d'Or sold at Paris, on the 18th inst. for the enormous price of 8,400 livres in Assignats; and Receipts or Promises of Mandates, then bore a discount of 88 per cent.
At the close of the Poll for Westminster, on Friday, Mr. Fox and Horne Tooke addressed the mob, in pretty long speeches:—that of the former Gentleman was the most inflammatory we ever heard. He said, (among other strong things) that he remembered but two Wars in which this country has been engaged—the one directed against the Liberty of America, the other against the Liberty of France—both caused by the despotic principles of the existing Governments—that the present War was nothing more nor less than a combination of despots to overturn the liberties of Europe.—That a constitution was good, exactly in proportion to the share that the people had in the government of the country—that the sovereignty was in the people.
He cautioned the people against entertaining the fantastic notion—that an existing constitution might not be destroyed.
He spoke of Mr. H. Tooke as a gentleman, whom he respected, and whom he considered as the most injured and persecuted man alive; this speech might be called a canvass for Mr. Tooke.
Mr. H. Tooke said, That he would not continue a candidate, if he conceived, that by so doing, he would endanger Mr. Fox's election. He agreed in every single sentiment that Mr. Fox had uttered.
Is there not then a coalition in principles avowed between Mr. Fox and the Chief of the Corresponding Society.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, April 29, 1796.
I give you an abstract of a letter, dated Alicante, April 10.
On the 10th inst. an American brig came in three days from Algiers to this place; reports, that the Moors had just carried 9 Danish vessels into that port, they were all loaded, one had Sicily ash for London, some others wine and brandy. The ground of this unexpected hostility seems to be this:—Some time ago, a Dane, bringing 300 Moors from Constantinople going to Algiers, was flopped by a Tuscan man-of-war, and carried into Naples, where the Moors are detained. The Dey of Algiers makes Denmark answerable for them; and, we understand, that he has intimated to the Danish Consul that they must be returned within a limited time; that if they were not, he would continue a friend to Denmark, and release the vessels detained, and if they were not, they would be sold and their crews made slaves; the Danish flag declared enemy, and the Consul turned out of Algiers.
As it is some time since the Consul has been waiting for compromising the matter at Naples, it may be hoped he will be able to pacify the Dey, in which case the Prizes would be restored.
This intelligence may be depended upon, but however it is not improbable that you may ere this reaches, be informed of this circumstance.
The American Treaty with the Algerines, it seems, is in great forwardness, and the Captives expected to depart daily from Algiers. Mr. Donaldson, it was likely, would be able to accommodate matters on a permanent footing with the Regency of Tunis and Tripoli—and when this takes place, the Americans will have nothing more to apprehend from the Barbary powers.
From the (Belfast) NORTHERN STAR, COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
PARIS, MAY 19.
The Council of five hundred had yesterday come to no resolution relative to the treaty concluded between the French republic and the King of Sardinia. A commission was appointed to examine it, and to deliver in their report this day. The commissioners are Boissy d'Anglas, Lemerer, Sneyes, Jean Debri, and Echallier. The Council again to day will form itself into a secret committee to receive the report.
May 20.
Dumas is the member who presented to the Council of Elders, the report in the name of the commission appointed to examine the treaty of peace concluded with Sardinia. His speech, though studied in a few hours, was a work of a considerable extent, and a well drawn picture of the present situation of Europe, and of the new relations of the republic with respect to the other powers. Of the war, Dumas spoke with professional knowledge. The plans of the campaign he praised in the highest terms, and was likewise liberal in his praise of those who concerted them, and of those also who put them in execution. He appreciated the merit due to the political dexterity of those who conducted our negotiations; and paid a tribute of applause to our generals, to the heroes of the North and of Italy; to Buonaparte, to Berthier, and those who emulate their glory. He expressed his wishes and his hopes for a speedy, wise, and honorable peace; a peace such as it becomes France to grant to Europe, that now loudly calls for a return of its blessings.
BUONAPARTE Commander in chief of the army of Italy.
TO HIS BRETHREN IN ARMS.
Head-Quarters, Cherasco, April 26.
SOLDIERS,
You have in a fortnight gained Six victories, taken 21 stand of colours, 71 pieces of cannon, several strong places, conquered the richest part of Piedmont; you have made 15000 prisoners, and killed or wounded more than 10,000 men.
You had hitherto fought only for sterile rocks, rendered illustrious by your courage, but useless to the country; you have equalled by your services the victorious army of Holland and the Rhine. Deprived of every thing, you have supplied every thing, you have won battles without cannon, made forced marches without shoes, watched without brandy, and often without bread—The Republican phalanxes, the soldiers of Liberty were alone capable of suffering what you have suffered.
Thanks be to you, Soldiers; the grateful country will, in part be indebted to you for her prosperity; and if when victors at Toulon, you predicted the immortal campaign of 1794, your present victories will be the presages of more brilliant victories. The two armies which attacked you with audacity fly disheartened before you. Men who smiled at your misery and rejoiced in thought at the idea of the triumphs of your enemies, are confounded and appalled—But it must not, Soldiers, be concealed from you, that you have done nothing, since something remains yet to be done. Neither Turin nor Milan are in your power. The ashes of the conquerors of the Tarquins are still disgraced by the assassins of Basseville. At the commencement of the campaign you were destitute of every thing, now you are amply provided; the magazines taken from your enemies are numerous, the artillery for the field and for besieging is arrived.
Soldiers, the country has a right to expect great things from you; justify her expectations. The greatest obstacles are undoubtedly overcome, but you have still battles to fight, cities to take, rivers to pass.—Is there one among you whose courage is diminished? Is there one who would prefer returning to the fumnis of the Alps and the Apennines? No, there is not one among the conquerors of Montenotte, Millesimo, Dego, Mondovi. All burn with the desire of extending the glory of the French. All wish to humble the proud kings who dare to meditate putting us again in chains; all wish to dictate a peace that shall be glorious, and that shall indemnify the country for the immense sacrifices which she has made; all of you burn with a desire to say on your return to your home, I belonged to the victorious army of Italy.
Friends, I promise this conquest to you, but there is one condition which you must swear to fulfil, it is to respect the people whom you deliver, to repress the horrid pillage, which some wretches instigated by our enemies, had practised; unless you do this you will be no longer the friends but the scourges of the human race; you will no longer form the honor of the French people, they will disavow you; your victories, your successes, the blood of brethren who died in battle, all, even honor and glory will be lost. With respect to myself, to the Generals who possess your confidence, we shall blush to command an army without discipline, and who admit no other law than that of force.
People of Italy, the French army comes to break your chains. The French people are the friends of all people, come with confidence to them, your property, religion, and customs shall be respected.
We make war as generous enemies; and with only to make war against the Tyrants who oppress you."
(Signed)

Extract of a letter from Londonderry, dated 1st of May
I never knew more people going to America than there are this year. We have had very troublesome times with Defenders and Peep o'Day boys; but during the circuit many have been hung, and the country is at present quiet. About Armagh people dare not stir out after dark, and patrols are kept about their houses and bleach-greens. No Roman Catholic can now keep a gun except he have a freehold of ten pounds per annum, or 300l. in cash, which has in a manner totally deprived them of this privilege. Every man must register his arms at the quarter sessions, and if any magistrate chooses after this day to search the house of any man, he may do it, and fine every man ten pounds with whom a gun is found. This is a hard law.

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
PORTSMOUTH, August 4.
Arrived here the ship Pomona, Capt. Merrill, in 38 days from St. Ubes, who informs that our Consul told him our affairs with the Algerines were so adjusted, that the commerce of these States was not in the least hazardous, and our vessels might, with the greatest safety, go to any port of the Straits without meeting any obstruction.
Capt. Merrill, the day previous to his leaving St. Ubes, read London papers to the 9th of June, in one of which he perfectly recollects to have read an account of a battle on the Rhine, in which the French, as usual, were victorious, having taken 14,000 prisoners, killed many thousands, taken vast quantities of ammunition, baggage, waggons, &c. &c.
Arrived here the brig Olive, Capt. Palmer, in 50 days from Cadiz, who informs that Richery's squadron was still at Cadiz the 18th June. The Governor of Cadiz sent off to the English admiral, to know if his port was in a state of blockade, the answer was not known when Capt. Palmer left there; the admiral has, however, ordered the squadron immediately off the coast, and it had actually sailed two days before Capt. Palmer left there.
NEW YORK, August 9.
It was currently reported this morning, that the English frigates Prevoyante and Thetis had fallen in with the French frigate Concorde, and had captured and sent her into Halifax. Capt. Cochran, of the Thetis, was said to have arrived at Sandy Hook and to have received a wound in the side during the engagement. We have endeavored to trace the report to its origin but without effect.
Last evening arrived here, the ship Belvidere, Capt. Ingraham, in 63 days from Havre.
Captain Ingraham spoke the following vessels on his passage—
June 12, brig Eliza, Capt. Wilson, from Guernsey, bound to London, 35 days from Charleston to Guernsey.
Ship New-Jersey, Capt. Hefs, from Havre, bound to Liverpool.
Ship Concord, Capt. Johnston, from Philadelphia, bound to Amsterdam.
July 13, brig Eagle, Capt. Israel, of New York, bound to Madeira, out 15 days, in long. 59, west. The Belvidere being in want of water and provisions, Capt. Israel furnished her with some water, flour, bread, &c.
July 23, spoke a ship belonging to New-York, from Virginia, bound to France, out 6 days, longitude 58.
July 25, spoke the ship Alliance, Capt. Wood, from New-York, who very kindly supplied the Belvidere with some necessaries.
August 4, spoke the American Eagle, of Boston, bound to Virginia, out 3 days, and received some necessaries from her.
Capt. Ingraham left at Havre about 30 sail of American vessels.
Two French frigates and three corvettes, left Havre the day before Capt. Ingraham failed, supposed with an intention of joining the Dutch fleet in the Texel.
By the arrival of Capt. Ascouh, from Jamaica, we learn, that the Sloop Lady Washington, Capt. Barnard, was lost on the north side of Cuba, about five weeks ago; part of the cargo saved, viz. 25 puncheons rum, carried into the Havana, and there obliged to be sold, for the benefit of the underwriters.
About a fortnight ago, Capt. Ascouh was boarded by a French privateer, and treated politely.
Capt. A. spoke the ship American Eagle, from Boston, bound to Virginia, all well.
The brig Nancy, Capt. Seton, of this port, was seized in Montego Bay while Capt. Ascouh lay there, on account of a few rolls of tobacco being found on board, but has since been liberated.
The following gentlemen came passengers in the ship Matilda, from Jamaica—
Mr. James Vanzandt. Mr. George Tighe, of 83d regiment. Mr. Gen. Temple, of do.

We are happy to have it in our power to contradict, upon good authority, the account with regard to Bombard, inserted in this paper on Saturday under the Falmouth head, and copied from the Jamaica Mercury. The following extract of a letter from a gentleman at Cape Nichola Mole, dated 13th inst. to his correspondent in this town, contains a correct statement of the particulars of the affair.
I risk this letter by an American Schooner that is to sail this day, to acquaint you of the taking of Bombard. On the 11th it surrendered, not being able to hold out longer: the forces in it obtained very advantageous terms; although the only alternative left them was, being carried by assault, or surrendering at discretion; the commander in chief alone signed the terms, the other general officers refusing to do it, as humiliating to our army: in a word, not only the troops belonging to Port-de-Paix, and the inhabitants of that place, who were in the fort, were allowed to go to Jean Rabel; conducted by an English guard; to a certain distance; but even defectors from the Maréchaussée de Conade, and from the Hufars, received the same favor: soldiers who quitted their colours to join the enemy, and who, by every rule of war, deserved to be hanged, have been treated as simple repatrians. General Whyte arrived here some day ago, with a convoy of transports, having on board, some say 1800 men, others a great deal less; happily he remains to command here, as General Forbes goes to Port-au-Prince. Jean Rabel will, I think, not be long in possession of the Republicans: its capture is necessary to secure the Mole; for it is very certain that Mr. Vincent, chief engineer of the republicans at Cape-Francois, meditated strongly to direct all his forces against the Mole; convinced
that, being once masters of it, point, the Republicans would soon be in possession of all the English territory in St. Domingo, which in fact could scarcely be tenable. But we have not that to fear—our security will be augmented by the force we expect; Admiral Christian, with 4000 men, being hourly looked for.
During the time the Mar. Guineaman was at Barbadoes, a vessel arrived here from Grenada, with 40 invalids from thence, wounded in the different action on that island.
A matter of a vessel reports, the middle of last month, that all kinds of provisions were scarce both at Port-de-Paix and Cape Francois; that at the latter place, they had not more than half allowance of bread and salt provisions for their troops for some time; that privateers were dispatched to bring in all American vessels loaded with provisions.
Extract of a letter from the Supercargo of an American vessel, in the French port of St. Domingo.
Hearing of an intended reform of the French Administration in the Isle of Leogane, in consequence of a national decree in favour of Americans, we left Jacquesville for Jariguane, but by fatal experience found a law in a set of rascals, whose whole study was to cheat their country, and rob the Americans under the pretious name of friendship; this they hourly do in direct opposition to their own laws; and whilst they are not ashamed to confess the fact, pleasing necessity has no laws: and although this is their excuse, administration are fully able to pay every American his due, provided the officers were honest; but they take special care to feather their own nests while in their power to accomplish it, which they do by placing into each other's hands, and lease together to prey upon us unfortunate Americans. The coffee that should be delivered to us for our cargoes taken by them, is sold for cash and pocketed by the officers.
The American placed far too much confidence in the honour of Frenchmen, they forget the difference between the real patriots of France and the noisy democrats for liberty. The ignorance of the latter is hardly conceivable, it is common to find their principal officers unable to sign their names. When we first arrived here and found the situation of things, I demanded a permit to depart the port; their answer was, we intend to have your cargo before us go. Immediately 15 soldiers were placed on board; I demanded to know if they would take it by force? They replied no; but would keep us, and not allow us to sell an article, until we had to government. We waited 14 days, and found they had lain 60 days, and then been compelled to give up, we concluded it vain to spend our time, and have only known what will be the event.
Between two and one o'clock on Monday afternoon, the hooner Industry, on her way to the Tortling Key was struck by a very heavy sea, nearly opposite to palisadoes, and went down immediately. Her crew consists of four hands, two of which were drowned. The other two gained their lives, by assistance of a piece of timber.
In consequence of some misunderstanding a duel was fought on Monday evening, between two foreigners, at Puer's Mount, in which one of them, M. La Vielle, lost his life. An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday morning, when the verdict returned was, that he died by a ball fired from a pistol by a person unknown, which entered his right side, &c. as to occasion his death.
A male child, much encumbered with stones and sand, was picked up on the Long mountain a few days ago. It appeared to have been in that situation a considerable number of years, and when refined yielded 17 ounces of gold.

AUGUSTA, July 23.
The state at the late treaty with the Creek Indians, in the accomplishment of the object of the state of Georgia, as yet remains unexplained to the public, except by a partial and anonymous publication at Savannah. The following letter, on that subject, from the Commissioners of the United States, written upon the spot, with apparent candour, and under the impression of official responsibility, explains the cause; and its publication therefore, cannot but be very satisfactory to the citizens.
With this view a copy from the original has been procured, and is committed to the press.
A CITIZEN.
Augusta, July 20, 1796.
SIR, HAVING terminated our mission here, by concluding a treaty of peace and friendship with the Creek nation, we feel it a duty we owe to your excellency, to make this communication to you; to inform you of the pacific disposition of the Creeks. They have, among other things, stipulated with us, to carry the treaty of New-York completely into effect, and to aid in running the line, from the source of the main fork of the Oconee to the Currahee mountain; at such time and in such manner, as the President of the United States should direct. The expectations formed by your state relative to the purchase of certain lands guaranteed to the Indians, are frustrated. The Representative of the Creek nation came instructed by the whole nation, not to part with the lands. We were not apprised of this, till our negotiation had been extended to all the objects connected immediately with our mission. We on being informed of it, thought it our duty, to examine whether any improper interference had been used, to produce this determination of the nation, and we are of opinion, after the necessary enquiry, that there was not any such interference, on the part of any of the citizens of the United States.
From the long, repeated and friendly conversations we have had with the chiefs, we have been able to draw from them some information, which we owe to our situations to give freely to you: It is, that it will require some time, and a considerable degree of prudence, to impress on the Indians, a confidence in the uprightness of the views of your government, and in the friendly and peaceable intentions of its citizens, who inhabit the frontiers; and until such confidence is established, we are of opinion, that all attempts to acquire land from them by fair and open purchase, will be ineffectual.
With our best wishes for the prosperity of the state of Georgia,
We have the honor to be,
SIR,
Your obedient servants, B. HAWKINS, G. CLYMER, A. PICKENS.
His Excellency JARED IRWIN, Governor of the State of Georgia.

BALTIMORE, August 5.
Capt. Richard Flinn, of the brig Triton, lying in the port of Leogane, has sent the following advertisement for publication, and requests that it should appear in every paper in the United States.
BE IT KNOWN throughout the United States, that William Camp, seaman on board the brig Triton, of Philadelphia, and a native of New-Jersey, (as he has sworn by a certificate signed by Clement Biddle, Esq. of Philadelphia) has informed the officers of the privateers fitted out at Leogane, that Richard Flinn had taken goods on board said vessel at Cape Nichola Mole, and that part of the cargo was British property and owned by a French emigrant. In consequence of which the said brig was detained for trial, and the said Richard Flinn denied access to her, although it fully appeared by the vessel's papers, that the whole of the cargo on board was truly and bona fide American property, and consigned to said master, who is a citizen of the United States, and the vessel has been plundered of her cargo, without condemnation.
Dated at Leogane, 13th July, 1796.

PARIS, May 15.
COLLOT AND VARENNES.
Pomme, one of the Colonial Deputies, has announced to the Council of Five Hundred, that Collot d'Herbois, and Billaud Varennes, who were transported to Cayenne, began to tyrannize over that colony, as they had done in France. Collot had caused himself to be proclaimed king. He had established the system of requisition, the maximum, and revolutionary committees and tribunals. He was also preparing to set up a guillotine. Pomme then demanded, if the colonies ought thus to be infested with those wretches, whom France was compelled to drive from its territories?
A committee is to be formed, for the purpose of considering what shall in future be the manner and destination to be fixed upon in cases of transportation.
FRANKFORT (Germany) May 14.
They complain very much at Vienna of the conduct of the Piedmontese troops, and still more of the government of Genoa. They observe that the French themselves declare in their reports that the Imperial troops fought with the greatest bravery; they conclude from thence that the reverse they have experienced may be attributed to some secret cause. So says the Gazette of Mayence.
Letters from the Imperial army in Italy announce that general count d'Argenteau is accused, if not of treason, at least of failing to transmit to the generals who commanded under him, the order of Mons. Beauharnais. Mons. d'Argenteau and several of his officers have been accused by the commander in chief, and conducted to Paris, where the first has been already subjected to divers interrogatories.

NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sum of the Funded Debt , or Stock , bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum.
That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, intituled an act in addition to an act, intituled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following: to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital.

And approved notes, securing payment either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from the drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four side buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Fiel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as 25,000 tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Fiel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other benevolent objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where he tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
SAMUEL BLODET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilma Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.

A very Valuable Estate,
CALLED TWITTENHAM , situate in the township of Upper Derby, and county of Delaware, 7 1-2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 230 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime woodland, and the rest arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and a spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peach-trees. The fields are all in clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing.
The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the land, the good neighbourhood and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat.
The foregoing is part of the estate of Jacob Sarman, deceased, and offered for sale by

The character of the author, for acuteness and erudition has been established by his essay on miracles in answer to David Hume, the greatest masterpiece of the kind ever published, and by his "Philosophy of Rhetoric," and to the merit of the present work, the result of nearly forty years study and application, and the substance of his course of lectures in his official capacity, the reviewers have given ample testimony, but their account, however honorable to the work, is too long for a place in this advertisement, the work however is now presented in an American edition at not more than half the price of the London copy.
