For the Gazette of the United States. No. VII. To the Electors of the President of the United States. Respected Fellow-Citizens, IT has been remarked that Mr. Adams's book was written in 1786 or 1787, and therefore that he could not mean to object to our present constitution. It is true that the preface of the first volume is dated in January 1787, but it is a fact that the third volume was published after he was possessed of the federal constitution, which is annexed to the constitution; and that it contains, as we have shown, some of the passages which are most opposed to that instrument in principle. The discourses upon Davila too, are the most forcible corroborations of this opposition, and upon the strong presumption, that they are the work of Mr. Adams they amount to an adieu unfriendly to the essential and cardinal principle of all our constitutions, both of the states and of the union. They tend at this time to invite the interpretation of the foreign monarchies in our affairs, however different were certainly the views, with which they were written. It has been also observed that Mr. Adams's book was written before his two elections, and yet that the people had confided in him as vice-president. It is however true that the third volume, being published in London in 1788, could not be for sale in the American Book-stores before the measures were taken for the first election. But what is much more important and is absolutely true, the books were not read, much less studied in America, for books intended to display great historical events and relating to the principles of government are not to be perused like a summer's tale—an amusing fable for an August day. By the writer of these papers the second and third volumes had never been seen, except so far as their contents in the library of some other person. And tho' the first volume had been actually purchased, from sentiments of respect to Mr. Adams's character and station, it is a truth, that other vocations and other books had occasioned it never to be either studied or perused. Its contents and principles were not known till within a year or two last past, when other circumstances of the nature of the book, rendered Mr. Adams's work an object of attention to many. Phœbus says, he has seen much of America and its inhabitants, and that he has never heard a wish for any other form of government than a Republic. The specimens he has given of re-statements even of the written opinions and desires of others cannot inspire the Electors with confidence in his accuracy, in regard to what may have been orally delivered before him. He too, like Mr. Adams, may consider a limited monarchy as properly a republic, and he may deem a wish for a constitution like that of Great Britain, as only a desire of having another form of a republic, which Mr. Adams unequivocally affirms the constitution of England in truth to be. It is our unshaken opinion, that the establishment of the Bank of the United States was very much to be desired—that neither this nor any other civilized nation can avoid the use of the excise mode of revenue, sooner or later—that the funding of public debts which cannot be paid off when due, is as much a matter of simple justice, of prudence and of natural control, as the giving of a common bond and securing it by mortgage for a private debt—that the check given to Mr. Genet by the Executive was perfectly justifiable and necessary, and in short that many acts for which this government has been blamed were subjects of merited approbation. But with these sentiments it is a solemn truth that we have felt serious anxieties at the existence and growth of the anti-constitutional doctrine of hereditary power which we have actually perceived. We have been explicit in regard to this subject on account of the declaration of Phœbus, that he has heard no wishes for any but republican government—We know it to exist, and we wish it were only in common minds, and in persons of little influence. It is the true cause of the present respectful address to the Understandings, and patriotism of the Electors. It is particularly necessary to remark, that there have been several partial and general editions of Mr. Adams's work. The first volume was published in Philadelphia by Hall and Sellers, and the whole 3 volumes were printed in London. Other editions have been printed, it is believed in the Eastern states. The size of the paper, types and paging have differed more or less. The Preface in the Philadelphia Duodecimo occupies seventeen pages, but in the London edition it covers twenty-six pages. Sometimes it appears, that the preface is meant to be referred to by writers in the Gazette, when however they express themselves so, that the reader supposes it is the main body of the work. No volume is numbered on the back, as the first, because, when the first volume was published in Europe and in America, it is manifest that the author delivered it to the world as an entire work, without any intimation of publishing a second and third volume. The main body of the work, in this first volume, is contained in a little more than 389 pages in the Philadelphia copy, and occupies 392 pages in the London edition. These remarks upon the different editions and pagings and upon the preface and the main work are recommended to particular attention, because they will obviate some dissatisfaction which has been excited by the idea of designed misquotations. Two examples will be given. Time does not admit of stating more. A writer from Henrico, in Virginia, an anti-advertiser with feeling, upon some opponent of Mr. Adams, for quoting a passage, as from the 8th page of his work; and says, he has read that page, and can find no such sentence in it, as was given by the writer he is opposing. Now it is found, on examination, that the passage referred to is, substantially, in the seventh page of Hall and Sellers's Philadelphia edition, and in the ninth page of the London edition. It is not in the eighth page of either of those editions, so that the quoter must have had another copy. But further, it is in the preface, and not in the main body of the work. The passage is material, and is fairly given to the world as Mr. Adams wrote it. That gentleman had mentioned "monarchy" in the close of the preceding paragraph, and then gave the following words, except the word monarchy, which is now put into a parenthesis, and not in Italics, for the sake of strict accuracy. "The objection to these governments (monarchy) is not because they are supported by nobles and a jurisdiction of ranks: for all governments, even the most democratical, are supported by a subordination of officers, and ranks too." So, again, in the 22d page of the London preface, and in the 15th of the preface of Hall and Sellers's edition, it is said, that a limited monarchy may, with strict propriety, be called a republic. These observations and examples will be sufficient to explain this necessary point. A FEDERALIST.

We have been favored with a Halifax paper of October 29, from which the following is extracted.
HALIFAX, October 27. Extract of a letter from St. John's, Newfoundland, dated Sept. 21. Since forwarding our letter of the 27th ult. we have had no opportunity of writing to you, being since the 2d instant in a state of blockade. Rear Admiral Richery, having escaped the vigilance of Admiral Mann and got out of Cadiz, made his appearance about three leagues to the Southward of us, on the night of the 1st inst. and paraded in view of our harbour on the 2d, with one 80 gun ship, 6 of 74, one of 40, and a corvette. His fleet on to the north about three leagues, and lay to at that distance, constantly repeating signals and letting off sky-rockets. We apprehended that in the morning they meant to make a descent upon us in that direction; which however they did not, but on the 3d flood on again to the south in a direct line of battle, till they approached near Cape Spear, when they bore down in an irregular line direct for the Narrows. At this time we imagined their intention was to force into the harbour; Meanwhile all the batteries were extremely well manned, and the forges at work heating balls. Martial law, was also proclaimed, and all the inhabitants, without distinction, were under arms, and at their respective posts, determined to make the most vigorous defence. Two frigates, a float of war, and the Romney of 50 guns, were stationed at the opening of the Narrows, with springs on their cables. In this situation our arrangements stood, expecting every moment the firing to commence. When the enemy arrived within gun shot of the batteries, and in full view of our force, having reconnoitred our strength and position, the admiral thought proper to sheer off, and stand to the southward, and his whole fleet following his example. That night they lay to in Petty Harbour Bay, where we were also apprehensive of their intention to land some troops; but not thinking that measure advisable, they steered to the southward, and came to anchor in the Bay of Bulls. That devoted settlement they have reduced to ashes. By this destruction the House of Gugler and Tage have lost some thousands. On the 7th the enemy weighed anchor, and proceeded to the south east, in view of the different harbours; and shortly after got out of sight. The 40 gun frigate appeared on the 9th, off Trepassey, into which place she chased some bankers, after which she stood on to the westward. On the 14th and 15th, the French fleet again appeared in Placentia Bay, steering N. W. by W. for Cape Chapeau Rouge, and this is the last direct account we have of them. Their manoeuvres have appeared unaccountable, and we think indicate a want of harmony among them. They are supposed to have gone to intercept the outward bound Quebec fleet, which are under the convoy of the Pearl frigate. They are known to be in want of bread, and consequently must soon repair to some port in the states;—This visit has so much deranged the trade of the island, that we fear it will be productive of very bad consequences this fall. The servants in the southern ports have behaved very unruily, in plundering stores, and running away with vessels and boats; but as the fear of the enemy has subsided, matters are re-instated again, and the servants returning to their duty. The Shark is just arrived in the Narrows. We are in hopes martial law will soon cease, and our attention be restored to our business.
The following Permit, given to a family to go on shore at the Bay of Bulls, proves the French fleet at Newfoundland to be Richery's from Cadiz.
LIBERTY. EQUALITY. NAVY OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. SQUADRON UNDER THE COMMAND OF REAR ADMIRAL RICHERY.
The Ship Le Duquesne, commanded by Citizen Allemand, Captain of the Navy.
After the request made to Citizen Richery, by the wife of Richard Driskall, prisoner of war, and five children of Bay of Bulls, it is permitted to the said wife and her family to disembark from the ship Le Duquesne, to return to the said Bay.—We invite all the citizens who shall meet the said family, not to disturb them in any manner, but on the contrary, to give them all the assistance in their power.
On board the ship Le Duquesne, the 21st Fructidor, the 4th year of the Republic of France. Seen by me, Captain Commandant.
ALLEMAND.
Yesterday arrived here from St. John's, Newfoundland, the ship John and Jane, Capt. Branton. This ship left England with the Britannia fleet, which arrived here some time since. She is laden with government provisions. Having put into Newfoundland on the 26th August, and the French fleet appearing off the 1st of September, she has been detained by the embargo which was laid on all shipping in that port. She left St. John's on Thursday last, the 20th instant, under convoy of his Majesty's ship Spencer, Captain Evans. The account Capt. Branton gives of the French fleet, agrees with the intelligence contained in the preceding letter. The ships which were detached by Admiral Richery to the Labrador coast on the 9th of September, were the Censeur, Duquesne, and Frigon. By Capt. Evans, in the brig Madonna, who had made his escape from Labrador, and arrived at St. John's three days before the John and Jane failed, intelligence was received, that the French ships had entered Temple-bay and laid the whole settlement in ruins. Among the shipping destroyed, there was a fine merchant ship, called the Regulator, mounting 20 guns. Captain Evans left the Labrador coast the 10th inst. at which time those ships were still there. The chief part of the fleet was in at St. Pierre's on the 24th ult. on which day two sail of the line went out on a cruise. On the 26th, the Admiral gave to Capt. Long, who commanded a ship which was destroyed at the Bay of Bulls, and who, with his wife had been made prisoners, a Schooner which he had captured, and permitted him to take with him 60 other prisoners, and go where he pleased, and the same evening the remainder of the fleet left St. Pierre's, and it was supposed they were all to meet at some other place of rendezvous. The prisoners who have been landed from the fleet, report that about 14,000 troops were said to be on board the different ships. Those which they saw were a shabby looking pack. Captain Branton has favored us with the following list of the French fleet.
Table with 2 columns: Ship Name, Guns. Includes entries like Jupiter (Ad. Richery) 74, La Victoire 84, Censeur (a Commodore) 84, Duquesne 74, Berwick 74, Ambuscade 36, Barras 74, Felicite 36, Revolutionnaire 74, Fripone 36.
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship Fanny, captain Harris, arrived at New-York, in 24 days from London, we have received London papers from the 8th to 15th Oct. inclusive. The following intelligence is extracted from them.
LONDON, October 8.
The following is the Order of Council, countermanding the Order lately made for the purpose of permitting the exportation of goods to countries conquered by France:—
"At the Court at St. James's, the 5th day of October, 1796, present, the King's most excellent majesty in council.
"It is this day ordered by his majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, that an order, made at this Board, on the third day of September last, granting license, notwithstanding certain acts passed in the thirty-third and thirty-fourth years of his majesty's reign, and therein mentioned, to pay, send, supply, or deliver, or cause to be paid, sent, supplied or delivered, either by payment or remittance of any bill of exchange, note, draft, obligation, or order for money, or in any other manner whatsoever, any money, to or for the use of any person or persons residing or being in any part or place of the United Provinces, the Austrian Netherlands, or Italy, or in any town or place in Germany, and to divers other acts in the said order particularly mentioned; and the license thereby given and every part thereof, be revoked and discharged; and every part thereof and the license thereby given, and every part thereof are hereby revoked and discharged.—And all persons are to take notice of his majesty's pleasure, hereby signified, and govern themselves accordingly.
W. FAWKENER.
LONDON, October 10.
Business in the House of Commons this Day.
The House to resolve itself into a Committee to consider of a Supply.
Late yesterday evening we received by express, the Paris gazettes to the 7th inst. inclusive, which is an instance of extraordinary dispatch.
In the variety of gazettes which have reached us from the 3d to the 7th instant, there is not one official letter from the Executive Directory respecting the armies of the Rhine and Moselle, and the Rhine and Meuse, which we may fairly consider as a most positive proof that the affairs of the French republic continue to be marked by a series of disasters. This opinion is strengthened by the non-official advices inserted in these papers, which admit that the French are every where retreating.
The news from Paris, of the 3d states, that the Austrians were preparing to attack the republicans in their position behind the Sieg, and in their entrenched camp before Dusseldorf.
A letter from Bruxelles of the 1st inst. states, that the left wing of the army of the Sambre and Meuse occupied the lines of the Sieg, which cover Dusseldorf; that the left wing was in the Hundsruck; and the centre between Cologne and Coblenz; but that it was feared these positions were not very safe, and that the Archduke would attack the French on the left banks of the Rhine.
By a letter of the 3d, from the same place, we learn, that the French army under general Bourdonville, was again preparing to recross the Rhine, but his head-quarters were still at Cologne. The Archduke has a formidable encampment near the Sieg, and also a camp of observation near Neuwied, to keep the French in check in that quarter. On the 27th and 28th of September, it appears there was constant fighting on the right banks of the Rhine, opposite Cologne, but the result is not stated.
The Austrians are still blockading Kehl, with a view of intercepting all communication between the left banks of the Rhine and Moreau's army.
From the army of the Rhine and Moselle there is no official intelligence, except Moreau's general orders, dated Lutmarshausen, the 20th of September, in which he endeavours to rouse the drooping spirits of his army. The place from which these orders are dated being situated in Suabia, at a small distance from the frontiers of Bavaria, it would appear that he is forming his retreat to the Upper Rhine in a manner which requires more firmness than in general belongs to the national character of the French, to be executed with success; his rear being constantly harassed by generals Latour and Hotze, and his front menaced by field-marshal Petrasch. Private accounts respecting this army state, that the Austrians entered Donawerth on the 19th ult. and they describe Moreau's situation as becoming daily more critical.
We cannot but consider it an happy omen for the state of affairs in Italy, that gen. Buonaparte observes a profound silence on his operations against the shattered remains of marshal Wurmser's army, shut up in Mantua! as he called the field-marshal's corps in his last letters to the directory. The Paris papers do not contain the least information concerning the republican army in Italy.
From the above extracts it will be seen, how extremely difficult it is to obtain a clear knowledge of the actual situation of affairs on the Rhine, until the Hamburg mails arrive. All that we can learn is, that the French are every where obliged to retreat. A report is mentioned in l'Eclair of the 6th inst. that Bourdonville had obtained some advantages over the Austrians, but as nothing more is mentioned in the paper of the 7th, they are not likely to have been of any importance.
There is another official note from the directory in most of the gazettes of the 5th instant, respecting the passport demanded by our ministry. We are glad to observe, that its tone is changed, and that the note is couched in more decent language than the last of its publications. It declares, "That if the English ministry yields to the wishes of the English nation, whose interests and happiness are confided to its care, peace will no longer meet with delays nor interruptions.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Saturday, October 8. Lord Stanhope informed the House, that his Majesty had been waited upon to know when his Majesty would be pleased to receive the address; and that his Majesty was graciously pleased to signify that he would receive the same on that day.
A petition was presented from General M'Leod, complaining of an undue return for the borough of Milborne Port.—Ordered to be taken into consideration on the 10th December.
Another petition was presented, complaining of an undue return for the borough of Guildford, which
was ordered to be taken into consideration on the 15th of December.
The King's speech was taken into consideration; and a motion being made that a supply be granted his Majesty, the motion was referred to a Committee of the Whole on Monday; to consider it.
At two o'clock the House proceeded to St. James's with the address.
We are confidently informed that Lord Malmesbury is the gentleman at length fixed on by Ministers to go to Paris; but he will not set out 'till towards the end of the present week.
The Paris papers received yesterday evening seem to understand the true meaning of the King of Prussia's gracious refusal to accept the submission of the cities of Nuremberg, Windsheim and Weissembourg. This disinterested refusal, they observe, is owing to the late successes of the Austrian armies, and to a hint given to his Prussian majesty from the court of Petersburg.
It is certain that the Genoese government has shut up the port of Genoa against our ships.
The project conceived by the French Revolutionists at the earliest dawn of the Revolution, namely, to subject the whole world to their revolutionary system, has never left those who have, since that time, under various names, held the reins of government in France. It is still pursued, when occasion offers, with the same zeal as it was under the Constituent Assembly, the Legislative Assembly, and the Convention. Italy displays the most striking proofs of this remark. At Bologna, Ferrara, Milan, Modena, &c. the Jacobins are not only countenanced in shaking off the yoke of their lawful masters, and destroying their ancient forms of government, but are also supported in every attempt they make for that purpose. Thus the same spirit of universal insurrection which took place in the Club of the Propaganda, and was encouraged by the left side of the Constituent Assembly, still actuates the Directory, and is still at work in the conquered as well as weak neutral countries, under the direction of its agents.
There are, however, in France some well-organized minds, possessed of sufficient energy to oppose such a system, whose sentiments the Editor of the "Feuille du Jour" expresses in the following manner:—"We have been for these seven years, (says he) so extremely fortunate in revolution, and our discoveries in politics have proved both so luminous and satisfactory, that it is but fair we should share our felicity with all the nations of Europe, by republicamizing them. But does it become a nation as frivolous, inconstant and thoughtless as ours, to regulate and adjust the regimen and fate of other nations? Can it become a people which in five years has five times changed its religion and government—which by turns we have seen Roman Catholic in 1790; then Schismatic Constitutional; then embracing the impure worship of Reason, under the direction of Hebert and Chaumette; then enthusiastically fond of the new rites and festivals under the high priest Robespierre; and afterwards returning in part, not from taste but indolence, to a superficial Catholicism—a people which in so short a space of time, jumped from an absolute monarchy to the royal democracy of 1791; from this royal democracy to the anarchical constitution of 1793; and from the latter to the revolutionary government; and from thence to the constitution of 1795, which, on its very outset, was violated with the utmost impudence.—Can it become such a people, I say, degenerated under the yoke of terror and wickedness, to set up for a legislator of nations, and to force them to adopt its own actual government, the duration of which is so extremely doubtful?"
PARIS, October 3.
The last intelligence received from the army of the Sambre and Meuse states, that the Austrians continue to push forward, and that they are preparing to attack the republicans in their position behind the Sieg, as well as in the entrenched camp of Dusseldorf.
The hospitals of the left bank of the Rhine are filled with a vast number of wounded men.
The offices of administration of the army of the Sambre and Meuse are actually at Juliers or at Aix-la-Chapelle. Gen. Jourdan is now at Paris.
October 4.
An official note, dated from Westminster the 21st September, 1796, O. S. (3d Vendemaire) 5th year, remitted the 9th of this month, to the minister of foreign affairs, and by him presented to the directory, desires passports for an envoy from the British cabinet, who is to come to France to make overtures for peace. The executive directory forthwith made a decree, charging the minister of foreign affairs to deliver the passports required, to the envoy of England, who shall be invested with full powers, not only to propose and negotiate a peace between the French republic and Great Britain, but to conclude it definitively between the two powers. If then the English government is sincere; if this proceeding, like all those which she has made, up to this time, upon this point, does not tend merely to make the world believe, that she carries on the war unwillingly, and that it is made in order to have the pretext to require supplies, which the English people sees them spend with regret—if this government abjures an unjust hatred—if she opens her ear to the voice of humanity—if she yields to the wish of the nation, whose interests and welfare are entrusted to her care—the peace will experience neither delay nor obstacle.
Extract from the Official Journal, Le Redacteur.
Such are the terms in which the executive directory, on the 3d inst. made known to the people of France the important fact of the application made by the English ministry. Different opinions will no doubt be formed upon the true meaning and drift of the very singular language they have employed upon this occasion. One set of men will be disposed to think that, like Mr. Pitt in his speech upon Thursday last, they prepare the French people to expect the failure of the negotiation, by the distrust which they insinuate of our sincerity, while others will think that they manifest an ardent desire cordially to entertain and facilitate the negotiation that is hereby opened. We lament only to see the fate of two nations left thus dependent upon the humour of persons who have apparently so little confidence in one another. Where there is so much jealousy at the heart, it is almost hopeless to expect that they should make a sacrifice of their enmities even to their duty.
We have reason to fear, when we reflect, that negotiations of this importance and difficulty, and which must decide the fate of Europe, are to be entrusted to the inexperience and ignorance of a minister, whose most zealous protectors would not give into his hands the management of a business on which their own fortunes might depend. The Directory cannot be ignorant of this circumstance. Should the negotiation fail, the ignorance of Charles Lacroix will be as much blamed as the disinclination of the Court of St. James's to make peace.
He is already accused of having protracted peace six months longer, by his ridiculous and extravagant ideas. His unskillfulness may rekindle the war with new fury,
at the very moment when it might be extinguished by a person of address and wisdom.
General Marceau was wounded on the 19th of September; he died two days after.
He was in his twenty-seventh year. Several battles which he had gained in La Vendee, and two skillful campaigns on the banks of the Rhine had obtained him a distinguished rank amongst our most eminent commanders in the present war. When he was about to be removed to the left bank of the Rhine, he requested to be left at Altenkirchen, with the Prussian commandant. The following day the Austrians took possession of Altenkirchen. As soon as General Haddick was informed of this circumstance, he sent a safeguard to Marceau, and General Kray himself came to see him. This old warrior wept at the sight. He had been opposed to Marceau for the two last years. The first Surgeon of Prince Charles attended him with the most ineffectual care; but he died at 6 o'clock in the morning of the 21st.
The body of General Marceau was buried in the entrenched camp of Coblenz, amid the complimentary fire of both armies.
Jourdan is at Paris. He is going to take the command of the army of the North in the room of General Bourdonville, who is now at the head of the army of the Sambre and Meuse. This kind of retrait is very justly given to a general of his distinguished merit.
We are still without any official news from our armies. The foreign papers are full of the disasters they have experienced, exaggerated as usual. They however agree, that Moreau, after receiving a check at Munich, is retreating through Franconia.
We learn from L'Orient, that two ships of war are arrived in that port, called the Fougueux and Vatigny. On being offered Mandats in payment, they revolted.
The Minister of Sweden at Constantinople has announced to the Grand Vizier, that a treaty of alliance is concluded between the Courts of Petersburg and Stockholm.
It is confidently asserted, that general Moreau, at the head of 30,000 men has attempted to cross Franconia, for the purpose of effecting his retreat, and joining the army of the Sambre and the Meuse.
We hear from Brussels, by accounts dated the 1st of October, that on the 22d of September, the Austrians having advanced to the Sieg, several hot actions took place between the advanced posts. It seems that they terminated in our favor, as 100 Austrian prisoners have been sent to Cologne. Our left wing is still behind the Sieg. It is believed that the enemy intends to advance by the Hundsruck. The division of General Poncet, has been therefore sent to that side. The division of General Bernadotte has re-passed the Rhine, and has taken a position near Andernach. It is apprehended that Prince Charles who has left the country adjacent to Coblenz, for the purpose of going to Mayence, intends to pass the Rhine by the last mentioned route.
Peace between the French Republic and the Pope is still liable to many difficulties, because his Holiness is unwilling to declare, that his good faith has been deceived in the briefs which he has published relative to the affairs of France. He fears left he should by such a conduct, compromise his infallibility. The French government, however, insists on this measure, as proper to restore peace between us, by appealing the differences of religious opinion.
Should the Pope persist in his refusal, it is very probable he will receive a visit at Rome from Buonaparte. All the Cardinals have been already assembled and consulted. The agents of the French Republic and the Popes plenipotentiaries have repaired to Florence, with a view of continuing their discussions more peaceably than at Rome, where the people are very much agitated; as well as referring to the mediation of M. Azzara, the King of Spain's Ambassador.
The army of the Empress of Russia, consisting of between 40 and 50,000 men, which was marching to assist the Emperor, has been ordered back. The Emperor is very much chagrined at this disappointment, but it is yet impossible to ascertain the cause of it.
Letters from London insinuate that the Queen of Portugal has different projects, and that, to escape at the same time from the English yoke, and the dangers with which she is threatened by France, she has it in idea to connect herself more intimately with the Cabinet of Madrid. Some English frigates have taken two Spanish vessels richly laden; the Queen of Portugal ordered these vessels to be brought back to the port of Cadiz.
The King of Naples has presumed to use a threatening file, for which he will pay dearly. He has caused a declaration to be published, in which he asserts, that if we shall enter into the territories of the Pope, he will also enter them with his army.
October 6. The infamous Collot d'Herbois has terminated, at Cayenne, his execrable career. He has been carried off by a violent illness, which generally befalls those who do not feel the least indisposition on their arrival in that climate, and against which no remedy has as yet been discovered. A few days before his death, that monster made another attempt to possess himself of the authority of a Dictator at Cayenne; but his projects having failed of success, he was thrown into a dungeon.
Charles Germain one of the accomplices of Drouet, made lately an attempt, at Vendome, to assassinate a municipal officer who visited the prison. He is put in irons for 20 days.
It is said that Bourdonville has obtained a considerable advantage over the enemy.
In yesterday's sitting the Council of Five Hundred resolved on the proposition of Camus, that a new fund of 25 millions, metallic value, shall be placed under the disposal of the minister of the Interior, to cover the arrears of the 4th year, and of the first quarter of the 5th.
October 7.
It is expected that a declaration of war will take place between us and Sweden. We hear from Stockholm, that Perchel, the French minister, and his Secretary Marivaux, have been ordered to quit Stockholm.
There is a great mortality amongst the French troops in Italy. The hospitals of Piacenza, Milan, Lodi, Verona, &c. are full of sick. In the first city, there were 4000 sick; and 117 died on the 23d of August within 11 hours.
"Head Quarters at Lutmarshausen, the 4th Complementary Day, (Sept. 20.)
"The General of the army of the Rhine and Moselle expects firmness from all the soldiers he commands; and hopes that the retrograde movements which the temporary successes obtained by Prince Charles over the army of the Sambre and Meuse have rendered necessary, will by no means weaken

its energy and lessen that gallantry which has illustrated its actions on all occasions where it has been in contact with the enemy. The moment will soon arrive when he will make them gather fresh laurels; and he is convinced, that when he shall give them the signal for battle, it will prove the signal for victory."
(Feuille de Jour.) Letters from Turin state, that in pursuance of a secret article of the treaty of Peace with France the Ports of Sardinia are shut against the English; and that by another article his Sardinian Majesty has bound himself to have on foot no more than 12,000 troops.
GENOA, September 17.
Since the Serene Government has declared, that all the Genoese Ports shall be shut against the English, on account of their having frequently violated the rights of neutrality, the latter have captured several Genoese vessels, and blocked up the ports of the Republic. The utmost exertions are making to put our coasts in a respectable state of defence, and it is to be hoped that the Alliance between France and Spain, will soon shelter the Republic from the hostilities of the English.
COLOGNE, September 23.
The troops which were engaged in the siege of Ehrenbreitstein, have crossed the Rhine at Neuwied, after having left a strong garrison on the island, which is provided with formidable entrenchments. The troops which were at Mulheim, and in the environs of Deutz, have crossed the Rhine opposite the former place. The greater part of the effects, military chest, &c. belonging to the army of the Sambre and Meuse, have already been transported to the other side of the Rhine. There is every reason to think that the retreat of the whole army to the other side of the Meuse is already determined on. The inhabitants of this city are not allowed to cross the Rhine; and this permission is allowed to the soldiery only. The city guard stationed at the gates, has received the same order from the commandant, to allow none of the inhabitants to pass through the gate leading to the Rhine. The French army is in the utmost distress imaginable, not having for several days had bread to eat.
WETZLAR, September 19.
The greatest anxiety prevailed here about the issue of the action near Limburg, on the 16th, on our learning that the French had received a reinforcement of 15,000 men from the army of the North, and that after a severe engagement, they had succeeded in ascending an important height near Limburg. Our anxiety still increased, on hearing that though the imperialists had, on the 16th, taken from the French several important posts near Gießen, they were forced by them to recross the Lahn, and that the Austrians had lost 700 men in that affair. At length, however, we learn, that the archduke, after an extremely bloody conflict, has proved victorious over the French. By this victory our neighbourhood is happily delivered from all apprehensions. Soon after the Austrians had defeated the French near Limburg, and advanced beyond the Lahn, it was impossible for Jourdan to maintain himself any longer in this neighbourhood, and the signal having been given, the centre of the French army, which was encamped in this vicinity, as well as the head quarters, which were at Kloster Altenberg, a mile distant from our city, broke up in the night of the 18th. Two horse batteries, the Austrian cavalry, and the battalion of Manfredini, also broke up immediately in pursuit of the French, and yesterday morning we learned, that the French were greatly harassed by the artillery on their retreat.
Another warm engagement happened also on the 16th, near Weilburg, in which general Haddick beat the French, took 600 prisoners, and 12 pieces of cannon.
The loss which the French sustained near Limburg, amounts to 6000 men, in killed, wounded and prisoners, and 40 pieces of cannon.
FRANCKFORT, Sept. 20.
The French are now entirely driven from the Lahn; and the communication with Ehrenbreitstein was again opened on the 17th. The action near Limburg was exceedingly bloody, and the Austrians were obliged to form the entrenchments with fixed bayonets: the loss was very considerable on both sides. General Neu, who, with a part of the garrison of Mentz, had joined the left wing, entered Nassau, after that action, and the head quarters of the archduke were at Aundshagen, near Montabaur, on the 18th. It is said, the archduke was grazed by a shot in the action near Limburg. The French are now retreating towards the Sieg and the Lower Rhine, and are already in the vicinity of Hachenburg. Their retreat is made with the greatest precipitation. The imperial head quarters are at Hahn, near Freylingen, a small distance from Hachenburg. Neuwied is still occupied by the French, and on the Hundsruck, they increase greatly.
WESEL, September 22.
The division of troops which is on its march for the army of the North, by the way of Dusseldorf, amounts to 6150 men. "We are curious to learn, (says the Courier du Bas-Rhin) whether general Bourdonville will lead the army again forward, or whether the retreat will be effected across the Rhine, as we are led to conclude from several circumstances." "The French army of the Sambre and Meuse (says the same paper) has lost near 30,000 men."
A letter from Mulheim, of the 20th instant, says, "After the action near Limburg, on the 16th, the French park of artillery arrived at Deutz last night, and immediately pursued its march to Dusseldorf. To-day we expect 3000 artillery, and 2000 cavalry, besides the artillery park; but the main body is debarking along the mountains, not being strong enough to effect its retreat in the plains."
September 24.
We have just received, as well from Cologne, as through some other channels, very interesting details relative to the situation of the army of the Sambre and Meuse: these, for want of room, we
are obliged to defer till our next publication. We shall confine ourselves at present in this statement, that a very bloody action, at the close of which the French were driven from their position, was fought at Altenkirchen, on the 20th instant. In this action general Marceau was mortally wounded and made prisoner. On the 21st, the famous bridge head, before Neuwied, was carried by the Austrians. The utmost confusion prevails in the French army, and the generals are at a loss on what to resolve. The head-quarters were shifted to Cologne yesterday.
HAMBURGH, September 27.
"The news which spread so much alarm all over Franconia, namely, that Moreau was on the point of marching his whole army into that province, with a view of turning the archduke, has not been confirmed; and it is now known that the report originated from some thousands of republican troops, dispersed in consequence of the late checks experienced in Bavaria, having rallied and taken post near Aichstadt. This corps retreated, however, on the 15th inst. into Suabia, to rejoin Moreau's army, which has taken a position between Donawerth and Augsburg. General Nauendorf and Latour are marching in two columns to drive it from that position, whilst field-marshall Petrasch, with a considerable corps, has penetrated into Suabia, to cut off Moreau's retreat, has possessed himself of Buchthal, Carlsruhe, and Stutgard, and is approaching Kehl, which has been bombarded by the Austrians since the 18th inst. If we add to this, that most of the peasants in Suabia are arming against the French, we may form a judgment on the countles difficulties which Moreau will have to encounter on his retreat from the Rhine."
"The archduke Charles pursues his victorious career with unabated energy and success. On the 16th inst. he defeated the French near Limbourg, and forced them to recross the Lahn. In consequence of this defeat, Jourdan has been obliged to abandon his position near Wetzlar, and to fall back to the Lower Rhine, on the side of Dusseldorf. He has left the army, and arrived on the 18th inst. at Bonn. An Austrian column is still endeavoring to cut off the retreat of the French. The siege of Ehrenbreitstein is raised, but Neuwied remains in the possession of the republicans."
HAGUE, September 24.
"Of the 25,000 French troops, which are in the pay of our republic, 10,000 have now marched to the Lower Rhine; so that a considerable number are still remaining in our country, commanded by general De Jean."
RASTADT, September 19.
"Yesterday began the siege of Kehl. We hear very distinctly the firing on and from that place. Very few of the French, who a few days since passed through here, have reached that place, most of them having been put to the sword by the Austrians. The latter do not think it will prove a difficult task to reduce Kehl, as the new works are not half finished, and the old fortifications are inconsiderable."
"This morning arrived here 12 pieces of cannon and 4 howitzers, which the Imperialists, assisted by the armed peasants, took from the French, in the vicinity of the free imperial city of Zell. They were destined for Moreau's army; and the escort, consisting of 260 chasseurs, was either taken or killed, each peasant is to receive a silver medal and 30 florins in cash. All the peasants in the district of Orleans, of the bishopric of Strasburgh, and of the Austrian part of the Brisgau, have taken arms against the French. The high road leading from Basle to Offenweiler is said to be crowded with armed peasants."
"Field-marshall Petrasch treats those of Suabia, who have joined his army, with the utmost kindness. On their marching into Bruchsal with colors flying and drums beating, he ordered the prince bishop's cellars to be opened, and wine to be distributed among them. A corps of 7,000 peasants and militia is also marching from Franconia to Suabia, and has sent some officers to field-marshall Petrasch to know which army it is to join. The republicans who were destined to occupy the country between Bruchsal and Kehl, for the purpose of covering Moreau's rear, and who are now either dispersed, taken or killed, amounted to about 8,000 men."
VIENNA, September 17.
The Court Gazette of this day contains, amongst other details, the following accounts from our army in Italy.
"According to accounts received to day from field-marshall Wurmsier, dated the 10th instant, it appears, that the general being resolved to advance, by way of Bassano, towards the Adige, for the purpose of relieving Mantua from the blockade, the enemy, to fall on his rear, attacked and carried on the 7th the posts of Primolano and Corolo, and likewise, on the 8th, attacked the corps of field-marshall lieutenant Quosdanovich, and drove him from his position with some loss; but that field-marshall Wurmsier, notwithstanding this, pursuing his design, had succeeded, on the 6th, in making himself master of the important post of Legnano, where the army under his command crossed the Adige on the 10th; so that now no doubt remains of the second happy delivery of Mantua; and that, in consequence of this favorable event, as well as of other active measures ordered by his majesty, it may be hoped that affairs in that part will take the same favorable turn which they have taken in other parts of the theatre of war for some time since, to the eternal glory of the arms of his majesty. The more circumstantial details of these events shall, immediately after their arrival, be communicated to the public."
SUABIA, September 18.
The Imperial general Petrasch advances still farther into Suabia, with the greatest rapidity, to take possession of all the important passes by which Moreau's army, which had penetrated too far into Suabia, might be obstructed in its retreat. Previously to the Imperialists entering Carlsruhe on the 14th, an obstinate engagement happened in
the neighborhood between them and the French, who were determined to maintain possession of Carlsruhe. The engagement extended itself into the city, and a considerable number of men were killed in the streets. The French, under general Scherer, were repulsed in all quarters: a part of them were dispersed, and have retreated into the mountains of the Schwarzwald. Near Esslingen 200, and near Rastadt 400 French, with the commandant of the latter place, were made prisoners. An adjutant of general Moreau also fell into the hands of the Austrians. Near Stuttgart the latter made themselves masters of the French hospital; and the booty which the Imperialists made in Suabia, in baggage, horses, &c. is very considerable.
The French have quitted Germerheim, to assist Kehl, which is menaced by the Austrians.
In Wurtemberg the Austrians have taken a powder magazine belonging to the French. All the French magazines and hospitals are at Ulm, whither the French have sent two thousand men. In the Black Forest, the peasants have blocked up the two passes called Hell and Heaven, to prevent the French from penetrating. The greatest consternation prevails at Strasburgh, on account of the change of affairs in Suabia: all the military in that city, at Colmar, and the neighbouring places, are ordered to march to Kehl. The administration of the departments has declared itself permanent. General Moreau, who it is said, lost 8000 men on penetrating into Bavaria, will, on account of a wound he has received, go to Strasburgh.
The imperial regiment of Ferdinand, has been conveyed in waggons into the vicinity of Kehl.
HEIDELBERG, September 20.
A letter from Bischof, the head-quarters of M. De Petrasch, dated the 17th, states, that a detachment of cavalry, and of the free corps of Servians, had taken at Stuttgart, an aid-de-camp of general Moreau, and a number of other prisoners, besides a quantity of money and baggage. The same letter states, that the peasants of the Black Forest, got possession of 15 pieces of cannon, which the French were sending to Strasburgh, and made the escort prisoners. They sent deputies to the general to announce to him, that they were ready to second the Austrians, and defend the defiles of Brisgau. The regiment of the archduke Ferdinand set out in two hundred waggons; Kehl is to be attacked to night.
Some hussars assert, that they met with a courier from general Petrasch, who informed them, that Kehl was taken by assault on the 18th, at half past seven in the evening. They add, that 150 pieces of cannon remained in possession of the Austrians, and that the French had lost 2000 men, wounded and taken prisoners. The rest passed the Rhine upon a flying bridge.

LEGISLATURE OF NEW-JERSEY.
New-Jersey, House of Assembly, November 15th, 1796.
The House of Assembly calling to mind, the approaching period, at which the President of the United States, has declared his intention of retiring from public to private life, embrace with pleasure, this early occasion to express their own, and in their opinion, the sentiments of their constituents, suggested by that approaching event.
Resolved unanimously, That the wisdom, firmness, and patriotism of the President of the United States, during his administration, and his faithful and highly important services rendered to the Government of the Union at the most interesting and critical periods of its existence, have a just claim to the thanks and approbation of this House.
Resolved unanimously, That the late address of the President to the citizens of the United States, is, in the opinion of this House, replete with sentiments of political wisdom, truth and justice, and merits our grateful acknowledgement—and while we sincerely regret and lament his determination to retire from the superintendence of the Government of the United States, the anxiety and solicitude, which we sensibly and irresistibly feel on this occasion, are in some degree diminished by the hope and expectation, that his successor in office, will be emulous to imitate his virtues, and pursue the wise and wholesome system of politics, which has so conspicuously distinguished his administration, and so effectually secured to us the inestimable blessings of Peace, and the present unparalleled prosperity of our country.
Ordered, That the foregoing resolutions be sent to council for concurrence, and that the Speaker of the House of Assembly be requested to present a copy thereof to the President of the United States.
By order of the House, JAMES H. IMLAY, Speaker of the House of Assembly.
COUNCIL CHAMBER,
November 16th, 1796.
The foregoing resolutions being taken into consideration, Resolved unanimously, That Council do concur therein.
By order of Council, JAMES LINN, Vice-President.
The foregoing resolutions, pursuant to order, were presented to the President of the United States, on Saturday last.
NEW-YORK, November 14.
SENATE OF THE STATE OF NEW-YORK.
Whereas the President of the United States, in an address to the People thereof, declining a re-election to office, hath expressed certain sentiments, dictated, as we most enlightened view of its permanent interests; therefore,
Resolved, That the said address be inserted on the Journals of this Senate, as a perpetual testimony of our respect for the man, and our approbation of his sentiments.
IN ASSEMBLY.
On motion of Mr. Morton, the House unanimously agreed to the following resolution, to wit—
Whereas it is the opinion of this branch of the Legislature, that it is peculiarly the duty of Republicans, to reward with expressions of gratitude and regard, those citizens who render important services to their country:
And whereas, this House consider the public cha-
racter of GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States, as exhibiting a career of virtue and of glory, perhaps unequalled in the annals of the world: And whereas they conceive the present period when he is about to retire from the walk of public life, as a proper occasion of testifying to him and to the world, their sentiments respecting him:
Be it therefore unanimously resolved, That the late patriotic address of his excellency GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States, to the people of the said states, be entered at length upon the journals of this house, as a memorial to future ages of their unabated affection to that illustrious citizen, and of their high sense of the eminent and disinterested services which he has rendered to his country.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. FENNO, OBSERVING in Claypoole's paper of this morning, a case stated, Nov. 19th, 1792, for the opinion of the judges and the attorney general, respecting the election of electors of a President and Vice-President of the United States, under a law of this commonwealth, passed 7th April, 1792; and the opinion of the judges, &c. thereupon, subjoined, I was led, from a conviction that the opinion (and the very wording of the opinion warrants the conviction) was predicated, upon the case stated, to examine whether the law was set forth with accuracy, in the case as stated—I have satisfied myself it was not.
The case stated, represents the law in this manner—"duplicate returns of the election are directed to be made out, one of which shall be delivered to the Prothonotary of the proper county, and the other to the Sheriff thereof, to be transmitted by him, to be delivered twelve days after the election to the Governor, &c."
The law actually runs thus—"duplicate returns thereof, shall be made out, one of which shall be delivered to the Prothonotary of the proper county, and the other to the Sheriff thereof, to be transmitted by him, to be delivered within twelve days after each respective election, to the Governor, &c."
An opinion founded on a misrepresentation of the law, must fall to the ground.
Query.—Who stated this case, and therein moulded the law to answer his own purposes, by leaving out the word within , so as that it should read "twelve days after ," instead of, " within twelve days after ."
Query.—Was the opinion understood to be given by several of the judges, &c. this day, on the law of 1796, grounded on a like statement?

NEW-YORK, November 18.
BUONAPARTE.
This general, in a letter dated Sept. 16, detils a series of brilliant manoeuvres, which terminated in obliging Wurmsier with the remains of the Austrian army, to shut himself up in Mantua, where he was closely besieged. The battle of St. George's fought on the 14th September, which was decisive in forcing Wurmsier and his army to retire into the city, was very bloody. Buonaparte states the loss of the Austrians at 2,500 men killed, and 2000 prisoners with 25 pieces of cannon.
THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA,
Has notified the Emperor of Germany by a Courier who arrived at Vienna on the 5th September, that she is determined to take an active part in the war, and that she had ordered a levy of 60,000 men who were on their march to Germany. The Russian Ambassador at the Court of Berlin also mentioned the march of this army, which is said to be destined to act in Italy.
A squadron of seven sail of the line, under the command of Sir Roger Curtis, was dispatched on the 24th September to intercept the French fleet that appeared off Newfoundland.

STOP THE THIEVES!!! LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19, between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock, the bed room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Eller's hotel was entered, either by means of false keys, or at the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the house (as the door was found locked after they had committed the theft) who took away from amongst several trunks, ONE which contained a valuable part of Mr. Rickett's property, but of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villains left it behind the circus, during the time that the performers of the evening were going forward. It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in securing suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of. One Hundred Dollars Reward Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property. Oct. 12.

RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 23rd October, a dark MULATTO BOY, named MOSES; 21 years old; about 5 feet 8 inches high; had on a mixed green coat, with a green velvet cape and oval yellow buttons; a striped vest; a pair of dark spotted pantalettes, and whole boots much worn.
