THE FOLLOWING CERTIFICATES,

Foreign Intelligence.
BOMBAY, June 8.
Intelligence had reached Mocha from various quarters, of a party of French from Suez having made an unsuccessful attack on Cofir, a sea port of Upper Egypt, in a dow and three or four smaller boats, wherein the dow was blown up, on which the others retired. This was confirmed beyond doubt by the declaration of a French seaman who had reached Judda, and was one of the only two survivors of the detachment which was on board the dow that was blown up: he is said to have reported that the party consisted of 120 soldiers and 80 sailors, embarked in a dow and 3 boats under the command of a general of brigade, about the beginning of February last; that on entering the harbour, several dows began to fire upon them, and that when the dow, in which this informant and the general were, came nearly abreast of the Arabs, three small guns were discharged from her at them; that this firing blew up some ammunition on deck, which communicated to the powder below, and the vessel blew up. This man adds, that their consorts immediately made the best of their way out of the harbour, without making any effort to save the poor wretches who were swimming about, whom the inhabitants of Cofir came out in boats and put to death without mercy. The informant and four others, (seamen from the other three boats with a view to attract their notice but in vain) they then made towards the shore, and reached it during the night, from whence they took refuge in the mountains, where after wandering three days without any subsistence, they fell in with some Arabs, to whom they made signs that they wanted water; that the Arabs brought them three small pots, but transfixed three of his companions with their spears while in the act of drinking; that the Arabs spared the lives of the informant and another who were carried to Cofir, from thence to Yambo, where his companion was detained and he was sent to Judda. This man would not allow that the French had lost any men in action with the Mamalukes, but acknowledged that their loss by sickness and affatuation was computed at 5000 men. He further stated, that the French at Suez were 400 soldiers and sailors previous to the embarkation, of which he made a part, and 50 artificers, and that when he and his companions left it, there only remained one dow belonging to the Arabs and eleven or twelve boats such as are used in loading and unloading vessels. The French at Suez had expected a visit from the English ships in the Red Sea, and had a boat stationed a considerable way down the Gulph to give notice of their approach, when it was the intention of the French to leave Suez. From the circumstances of this man's report it would appear that this attack on Cofir was what we had, on less accurate information, stated to have taken place at the Island of Shadwan.
June 29.
Letters add, that Lieutenant Col. Willemann with a brigade of Sepoys, was preparing to march for the Canary country, to take possession of Deelah, Mangalore, and a few other posts, before the rains set in violently; and that General Hartley was expected to move with the rest of the army to take complete possession as soon as the season would admit. It was reported, that the inhabitants of that part of the country had expressed a desire to be under the protection of the English government, and they were ready to receive our troops and deliver up the country to them.
On the 17th of May, the late Sultan's horses, elephants and camels, were delivered over in Puna's tent, to Lieutenant Cols. Clove and Dallas, and Captains Macaulay and Montgomery, the able horsemen attending their new masters with all submission and obedience. Three thousand one hundred and twenty horses were reckoned on this occasion, 99 elephants and 175 camels, the late Sultan's private property; a body of Joghire horse, estimated at twelve thousand, were ordered to their respective villages, where they remained peaceable subjects by the latest accounts, and in all probability will continue so, excepting they are wanted for offensive operations by our government.
Colonel Read, of the Madras establishment, was employed about the middle and towards the latter end of May, putting garrisons into Hooliadroog, Ootradroog, Sawaadroog and Schwangunga; these were garrisoned when our present accounts left Sawandroog on the 23d ult. On the 24th a party was to be sent to Bangalore, and it was expected the Colonel would afterwards move to Ooscootah and Nunddroog, from thence to Sera, and probably to Chittledroog, with the same view.

By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 2.
Translated for the Daily Advertiser.
By the Nancy, Allen, from Hamburg, arrived on Saturday last, we obtained the latest German papers; from which we have translated the following interesting paragraphs:
VICTORY OF THE ARCHDUKE, And the taking of MANHEIM.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 21.
The Archduke Charles, has, as I have mentioned to you before now, through his speedy marching towards Philipsburg, relieved that fortress from the bombardment of the French, and forced them to retire towards Manheim. This day I have to communicate to you, the important intelligence that the Duke has completely beaten the enemy, near Neckerau, and Manheim, drove him out of all his strong holds, and took the city of Manheim, 1800 Frenchmen, among whom are the generals De la Masson and Le Solle, and 61 officers are made prisoners, 2 standards, 18 cannon, 3 howitzers, 13 ammunition cars, and 7 wagons loaded with balls fell into his hands. The following is an extract of the Duke's letter, dated the 18th, which he transmitted from head quarters at Schwenzingen, respecting this glorious affair.
"After raising the siege of Philipsburg, the bombardment of which had lasted for six days, the greatest part of the hostile troops drew across the Rhine, and took a position on the left bank from Ogerheim towards Wurm. The division Le Roche garrisoned the fortress of Manheim, and the entrenchments which were erected during summer at Neckerau; the fortress of Manheim was not in the least demolished as has been announced in the public prints, the works were partly as before, and partly so improved, that they appeared perfectly secure against any Coup de Main; the village Neckerau, which is totally surrounded by an unassailable broad and swampy ditch, and seems to form an Island, has for its access two bridges which are guarded by formidable entrenchments and batteries, this adds much to the strength, with which nature has favored this island."
"By the position and operations of the enemy, I was fully convinced, that he meant to defend to the uttermost the fortress of Manheim, and its adjacent entrenchments, he was busied uninterruptedly day and night to extend his batteries. Further I received intelligence from unquestionable authority that the Directory had transmitted to Gen. Muller extraordinary instructions to maintain, and not to relinquish Manheim at any rate, in consequence of which preparations were made, to move the cannon from the left Rhetauer to Manheim."
"This induced me to accelerate the premeditated attack, the enemy made the most resolute and obstinate resistance at Neckerau and seemed to resist all for the maintenance of that fortified place, his fire was excessive heavy and without intermission, yet notwithstanding all this, an assault was made by our troops upon the bridges leading to Neckerau, which were carried, with a determination that seemed to pervade all ranks alike, the enemy entirely dislodged out of his entrenchments and in this manner not only the village of Neckerau but the whole fortified line became ours."
"After this, without loss of time, Holzhorff, a place situated on the river Rhine, between Manheim and Neckerau equally as strong and as well fortified as the former, was attacked by our troops, here also the enemy made the same resistance as at Neckerau but this fortress being assaulted with the same spirit of determination it was soon carried, the garrison was partly sabred down, and partly with their commanding general made prisoners."
"This being done we erected a battery in the greatest hurry near Holzhorff, against the bridge across the Rhine, and at the same time, at which we opened our batteries, against the bridge, an attack was also made upon the entrenchments, which the enemy had erected during the preceding summer season, along the whole front of the fortress; these two were carried, and so quickly was the flying enemy pursued, that our troops along with those of the enemy passed into the city of Manheim as the draw bridges therefore could not be shut, and such was the confusion and panic of the garrison, that all those who had not previously fled to the left bank of the Rhine became our prisoners."
"The number of prisoners taken on this occasion, consists of 1800 men, among them are the Brig. de Generals De la Masson and Le Solle with 61 staff and other officers."
"We took 2 standards 18 cannon 3 howitzers 13 ammunition wagons 7 carriages loaded with balls, many grenades balls and other warlike implements, besides several hundred cwt. powder."
(Signed) ARCHDUKE CHARLES, F. M.
ITALY, September 11.
Prince Suwarrows was to move on the 8th inst. with all the Russian troops under his command from Aski to Switzerland; his route will be over the Navaro, Bellinzona and Gothardberg; the baggage and artillery will pass through Tirol and part of Germany. This day being the 11th, the Citadel of Tortona will be delivered to the Imperialists. The king of Sardinia with his family is expected to set out this day from Cagliari, and to arrive at Livorno, where the Duke of Chablais is already arrived; Commerce at Livorno is quite brisk again—upwards of 100 sail of shipping loaded with all kinds of merchandise, arrived at that place within the course of a fortnight.
HAGUE, September 21.
After an armistice of 8 days, the British army received a considerable reinforcement of Russians—and the day before yesterday, the 19th inst. the second most obstinate and bloody battle was fought between them and the Gallo Batavians, near Alkmaar, by which, though we gained the advantage, the operations of the armies have not been materially altered. Last night, the 19th inst. already arrived two expresss sent by Gen. Brune to the French Consul here, and yesterday the victory was announced by displaying the national flag from the observatory and the national hotel. The cannon also on the batteries of the Roc camp were fired. Our loss and that of the French is supposed to consist in 1500 men—the loss of the enemy is more considerable—it consists of 5000 killed, wounded and prisoners; but as on the 17th and 18th a corps of 17,000 Russians were advancing, another battle may daily be expected—it is indeed confidently reported that the last mail has brought news of another attack having been made by the combined English and Russians.
AMSTERDAM, September 21.
This day passed through this city 1000 prisoners of war, who were taken in the last bloody engagement—they are to be transported to Breda. Our loss in this battle is computed to consist in 1400 men. The avenues leading to our city are in the most formidable state of defence, and are commanded by General Humidat, who lately was sent here from France for that purpose. On the 19th about 2 o'clock in the morning, previous to the commencement of the battle, from 5 to 6000 British troops took possession of Hoorn, who however as soon as the issue of the battle was known, evacuated it again.
The village Schoorl was partly burnt by howitzer shells thrown in there, and has suffered considerably. After the engagement was ended, there arrived at Alkmaar 1200 Russian prisoners—they were quartered in the large Church, where they were civilly received and humanely treated by the citizens.
LOWER ELBE, September 25.
On Monday evening we received our Paris letters and papers up to the 16th, but at too late an hour for yesterday's publication. The Sittings of the Council of Five Hundred, on the 14th and 15th, were remarkably stormy, manifesting every symptom of revolutionary disorganization, by vulgar personalities, clenching of fists, and defending even to blows—a conduct not to be expected from the sage legislators of a great nation whose deportment in debate ought ever to breathe a dignified calm, which at once inspires respect and obedience to its decrees. The question, whether France is or is not in danger, having been rejected, after great uproar, the Directory sent a message to the Council of Antients on the 15th, stating "that a royal conspiracy redoubles its activity. Corruption, sedition and decoy, extend throughout the Republic. Even in the midst of Paris, Royal proclamations are printed. The partial press have been seized, the culpable authors or editors are in the hands of the law; but they must be judged by the common tribunals; yet, should they not be sent to military commissions, for having provoked royalty?"

"Yesterday a scene was exhibited here highly pleasing to every real American. The brig Thomas Pinckney, capt. Lawton, of N. York, from Palermo bound here, was captured a few days ago by a French privateer, who was bringing her into this port for condemnation. As soon as it was perceived that he was in possession of the French captain Packwood of the ship Washington, who was lying in the bay, with an alacrity which will ever reflect honor on him, feeling a just indignation for the insulted rights of his country, immediately got his vessel under weigh, and to the no small satisfaction of a concourse of Americans and others, who were anxious spectators of this interesting scene, re-took the prize by boarding her with his boats, the privateer narrowly escaping the same fate by rowing in shore."
"The Spaniards, spurred on by French influence, showed, or pretended to show, a great degree of resentment at this supposed violation of territory, which by the bye they had frequently passed over unnoticed, when committed by the French; and in order to satisfy the eager remonstrances of the enraged Frenchmen, the forts prepared to fire, and the gun boats were ordered out to attack the Washington, and retake her prize—they went out, but after the spirited conduct to which they had been eye-witnesses, they felt very little inclination to hazard an attack, and returned again without attempting any thing."
"Every artifice that the malice of enraged and disappointed Frenchmen could invent, was made up to prejudice the Americans in this place; but happily for us, their influence, although almost unbounded, was effectually thwarted by the spirited exertions of our pro consuls, Mr. Edward Bedingfeld, who acts in place of Mr. Michael Murphy, deceased; and the French obtained no other satisfaction than that of being told, that they had done the same on many occasions."

Just Published, A COMPENDIOUS SYSTEM Of Practical Surveying and dividing of Land; briefly comprised under the following heads, viz.
TWENTY-THREE Geometrical Defini- tions, eleven Geometrical Positions, ex- hibiting to view the properties and depen- dencies of triangles; followed by problems and examples necessary to calculating a Sur- vey succeeded by seven surveys, the area of the fourth is found geometrically, and of the whole number by difference of latitude and de- parture, shewing how to take an inaccessible boundary, find the bearing and distance of the closing line without running it, also the dis- tances to an inaccessible corner from the two adjacent corners, followed by examples of off- sets to winding streams of water, shewing how to ascertain the area without the trouble of measuring the windings with chains and in- struments—a crooked water course fraitened, and a quantity of land on each side found by these offsets.
Ten examples of dividing land, with many sub-divisions, leading into the most critical cir- cumstances that can occur in practice; an ex- ample of Intersections, and an example shew- ing how the bearings of a field may be truly taken where the needle is attracted, altho' the attraction may vary in quantity and denomi- nation at every station; examples shewing the method of measuring by the chain only. All the rules are clear and explicit. This work con- tains the tables of difference of latitude and de- parture and of logarithms.

PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, Pursuant to the act of Congress passed on the 1st day of June, one thousand, seven hun- dred and ninety six, entitled "an act regulat- ing the grants of land appropriated for mili- tary services, and for the society of United Brethren for propagation of the gospel among the Heathen," and the act supplementary to the said recited act passed on the second day of March, one thousand seven hundred and nine- ty nine—to wit:
THAT the tract of Land herein after de- scribed, namely, "beginning at the North West corner of the seven ranges of townships, and running thence fifty miles due south, along the western boundary of the said ranges; thence due West to the Main Branch of the Scioto ri- ver; thence up the Main Branch of the said ri- ver to the place where the Indian boundary line crosses the same; thence along the said bound- ary line to the Tuscarawas branch of the Mus- kingum river at the crossing place above Fort Lawrence; thence down the said river, to the point where a line run due west from the place of beginning, will intersect the said river; thence along the line so run to the place of be- ginning;" has been divided into townships of five miles square, and fractional parts of town- ships; and that plans and surveys of the said townships and fractional parts of townships are deposited in the offices of the Register of the Treasury and Surveyor General, for the inspec- tion of all persons concerned.
The holders of such warrants as have been or shall be granted for military services perform- ed during the late war, are required to present the same to the Register of the Treasury, at some time prior to the twelfth day of February in the year, one thousand eight hundred, for the purpose of being registered; No registry will however be made of any less quantity than a quarter township, or four thousand acres.
The priority of location of the warrants which may be presented and registered in manner afore- said, prior to the twelfth day of February in the year, one thousand eight hundred, will immedi- ately after the said day, be determined by lot, in the mode described by the act first recited.
The holders of registered warrants, shall on Monday the 17th day of February, in the year 1800, in the order of which the priority of loca- tion shall be determined by lot as aforesaid, person- ally, or by their agents, delegate in writing at the office of the Register of the Treasury, the particu- lar quarter townships elected by them respectively, and such of the said holders as shall not designa- te their locations on the said day, shall be postponed in locating such warrants to all other holders of registered warrants.
The holders of warrants for military services sufficient to cover one or more quarter townships or tracts of four thousand acres each, shall, at any time after Monday the 17th day of February, 1800 and prior to the first day of January, 1802, be al- lowed to register the said warrants in manner a- foresaid, and forthwith to make locations therefor on any tract or tracts of land not before located.
All warrants or claims for lands on account of military services, which shall not be registered and located before the first day of January, 1802, are by the supplementary act of Congress herein before recited, passed on the second day of March, 1799, declared to be forever barred.

TERMS
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia,
FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
JOURNALS OF CONGRESS,
FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time,
INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and 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, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dolls. 35 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print man- more than the number subscribed for, a considera- ble 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 it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern- ment.
In all countries, the proceedings in the com- mencement of their governments, are lost in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public re- cords, and the action of the nation, in these ra- ges, 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."
"To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep- 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 inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from ma- ny 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 co- pies of that record for themselves."

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the short and pleasant road of Bulleion, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Spring- field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the popula- rity of the country through which it pas- ses, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswick, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Tho- rough Fare from Philadelphia to New York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained.—There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is amongst the least of its advantages, because daily expe- rience proves to us, that dispatch as well as com- fort in travelling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country; and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delawares and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of
