LITERARY ARTICLE.
The printing apparatus of the propaganda of Rome, is to be transported from thence to Paris. It contains every requisite for printing books in twenty eight different languages, particularly the Oriental. Six of the compositors employed in it have set off for Paris. Among the types are those for printing the Sanskrit language, which has sixteen vowels, and thirty-four consonants, and the Hindoos or invented by the Bramas for the purpose of recording therein their philosophical and religious mysteries.
THE Committee are happy in having it in their power to inform those citizens who are not in a situation to provide for themselves and are desirous to remove from the city or liberties, that they are now prepared to receive from 6 to 700 persons at the Encampment on Master's Place, in the Northern Liberties where such persons will be furnished with comfortable apartments and necessary provisions during the present calamity.
From a London Paper.
SIEGE OF LYONS.
Even those who admire the French revolution, cannot view the following scene but with horror and detestation. It is a faithful picture of the memorable siege of Lyons, and may serve to show the savage ferocity of all the Jacobins, when the chance of war favours their diabolical designs.
DURING the space of sixty days, they (the Lyoneze) withstood an army of fifteen times their strength, plentifully provisioned, and provided with every instrument of destruction. Never perhaps, were there such feats of valour performed as by this little army; thrice their numbers did they lay dead before their injured city. The besieged then seeing no hopes of a capitulation; seeing the city without another day's provision, and the total impossibility of succour from without, being completely invested on every side, had but one measure to adopt—to cut their way through the enemy or fall in the attempt. A plan of retreat was therefore settled upon; the out posts were to be called in, and the whole were to assemble at the Vaile. It was midnight when they began their retreat, lightened by the blaze of bombs and burning houses. Reader cast your eyes on this devoted city. See children cling to their fathers, distracted mothers to their sons; wives, holding in their arms what they held dearer than life, forgetting all but their husbands marching by their side, and braving death by ten thousand hands! But what were they to go against fifty times their number? The whole, about fifty persons excepted, were either butchered, or taken, to gratify by
torture, the barbarous disposition of the victors.
After viewing this scene of horror and dismay, what honest Englishman would wish for the triumph in this country, of the Corresponding Societies, whose floating reign would be rendered infamous by similar barbarities.
The citizens of the city of Philadelphia, the Northern Liberties, and Southwark, are requested to meet at three o'clock, P. M. on Tuesday next, the 18th inst. at Richardet's Tavern, in Germantown to take into consideration the necessity of furnishing employment for their distressed fellow citizens who are at present without any means of subsistence.
The great numbers now out of the city and unemployed, and of course destitute of the means of procuring bread, require the attention of the charitable and humane part of the community. To provide employment and the means of gaining a livelihood by honest industry, will be at once affording relief from distress, preventing idleness, the most dangerous situation in society, and will give an opportunity to commence, if not to complete some plan that may probably best answer the purpose of providing the city with salubrious air and pure water; and by the blessing of Providence, prevent a return of the present dreadful calamity under which Philadelphia suffers.
Germantown, Sept. 14.
WE are informed that Boxes for the daily conveyance of letters from Philadelphia, addressed for the Banks of Pennsylvania or North America, are lodged at the Post Office in the City, for the accommodation of those who choose to avail themselves of that mode of conveyance.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 15.
BE WATCHFUL!
Night before last, fire was kindled in a necessary, in the rear of the two Banks, and had made considerable progress, when it was discovered by a woman, who extinguished it without giving an alarm.
From an official examination, it has been found, that upon an average, each loaf of bread is now imposed upon citizens four ounces too light! This is adding distress to calamity; and it is to be hoped, that those who have been guilty of so great a crime, will be legally handled.
Died, On Thursday, in the meridian of his life, of the prevailing epidemic, Doctor Edmund Hathaway, late of England, deservedly regretted by all who knew him.
Yesterday morning, of the prevailing fever, Mr. Moses Eden—an old and respectable inhabitant of this city.

BOSTON, September 12.
MORE "DIPLOMATIC SKILL."
Yesterday we had reports in circulation, that the United States armed brig Sophia, had been spoken with off the American coast having on board Mr. Gerry, and a French Envoy to the U. States. Tracing the reports, we found they came from Baltimore, where the person who spoke the Sophia, and who heard the Frenchman's name, had arrived. We immediately recurred to our latest Baltimore papers. In one of the 4th inst. we find the following article: "Capt. Boyle, arrived yesterday from Bourdeaux, received a letter the day before he sailed, from a very respectable and well informed gentleman at Paris, which informed him, that Mr. Gerry was to leave Paris for Havre in two days, accompanied by a French gentleman, whose object is to settle the misunderstanding between the two Republics." This article we believe to be the parent of the reports. Let us examine dates and circumstances. Capt. Boyle, arrived at Baltimore the 3d inst. after 70 days passage. Thus it appears he received the letter the 25th June, which must have been written at Paris as early as the 20th.—We have papers direct from Paris as late as the 10th July—which make no mention of the matter. It will be perfectly à la mode de Talleyrand . Divide to conquer is a French maxim.—Deceptive negotiation, and jesuitical pretensions to candour and desire of reconciliation will be French practice, now they know the citizens of the United States are not a "divided people." God be praised, we have an Adams in our Senate, and a Washington ready to take the field. The former is perfectly acquainted with the "diplomatic skill" of the French—if three Envoys are sent, he will order them to be treated exactly as Messrs. Pinckney, Marshall, and Gerry have been treated in France:—But if only one is sent, he will unquestionably consider it as a fresh insult, and if he should set foot on American ground, will order him to quit the country as an alien enemy.
The Packet letters from England all accord in the idea, that the French Directory deprecate an open war with the United States; that they have heard of the spirit and unanimity which pervades the continent; that they have received an agent from the Jefferson party, advising to temporary measures; and that the probability was they would send an Envoy or Envoys to try their skill in America.
The Emperor of Russia has improved upon the French Directory's press-gag plan. The latter swear that French printers may print; but that they shall print only what suits their foreign will and pleasure; whereas the Russian Director swears the printers shall print nothing. It is astonishing, with what facility one tyrant imitates another.
The Swedish government has been necessitated to emit a paper currency. In detailing the causes which has produced the necessity, they say, it is partly to be attributed, "To the reclamations which the Swedes have made, in vain, to the French government, for the sum of 15,000,000 six dollars, the amount of the cargoes of the ships taken from them." If the Swedes had recanted the fraternal squeezes of the French with American spirit, they would not have been left to make their idle reclamations; or to deplore a situation, the most degrading to a nation—that of emitting a paper medium.
RURAL GRATITUDE.
We learn with great pleasure, that a number of citizens of Braintree, Quincy, and adjacent towns, intend giving a public dinner to our illustrious fellow-citizen, the President of the United States, at the hall in Quincy, this day. Eulogy on this tribute of respect is unnecessary.
COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
A letter from a gentleman in London, to a respectable merchant in this town, dated July 4th informs us—We have had some
large arrivals within these few days. Eighteen ships belonging to our East India company, and the West-India company, consisting of 300 sail, have got in safe. Whether this is considered as successful to private adventure, an accumulation of revenue or augmentation of its naval forces, it is Great-Britain highly important.
Eighteen young gentlemen were admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, at the anniversary commencement at Rhode Island College, on Wednesday last.
THE FEVER.
We may say with truth, that the victims to the fever have not increased in ratio since our last. We give the official statement of the Selectmen of Monday. They do not meet yesterday—we enquired of the several sextons, and heard of but three burials. When we reflect on the mortality which pervades many of our sister towns, we thank Heaven we can denominate ours "the favoured city."
Official Report—Sept. 10. The whole number now sick is 29—Of whom 1 is on the recovery. 5 have declined the return of the 7th inst.
By order of the Selectmen. WILLIAM COOPER, Town-Clerk.
From Capt. Wall's Journal, Schooner Mermaid, from Tercenis.
August 12, at 8 o'clock A.M. cape St Anthony (well end of Cuba) bearing ESE distance 8 miles, the sea very smooth, I observed a sail boat making from the shore towards us. At nine they fired a swivel shot above our hull: I hoisted colours, and hove to, until they came within pistol shot. It proved a large Spanish built launch, with lattice sails, 12 oars, a cannonade, four swivels, and 26 men, under the French national flag. After being informed from whence we came, ordered me to lower my sails, and give a rope for the launch. I demanded what he wanted; he said he was a pilot. I told him I did not want any, and ordered him to keep off. They damned me in French, Spanish, and English, full calling for a rope, and manned their oars to lay on board. I fired a brace of balls among them, and ordered my helm a weather. This compliment was soon returned with a shower of swivel and musket shot. We were six in number, had seven muskets, nine pistols, four cutlasses, and two harpoons on board. A close and warm skirmish ensued during which they made two attempts to lay us alongside, but refusing the fire of our pistols until close on board, they found a reception different from their expectations. Being thus disappointed in their fraternal anticipations, they turned stern to and made for the shore as fast as they came. Our wrangle continued upwards of forty minutes, several times in which they were less than twenty yards distance. I was fortunate to receive but little damage; having my shroud shot away, and my sails little spotted with musketry. The greatest part of the boat's crew were Spaniards, a number of whom, I am sure, will be no farther trouble.
Aug. 18th, was brought to, and boarded by the frigate Nancy, of New Providence capt. Broadwater, who behaved very polite. Edward Brown, acting in capacity of mate entered on board the privateer, after having embrazed several articles.
Aug. 24, lat. 28, 00, long. 80 10, spoke the ship Fabius, of New-York, from the Havana, for Philadelphia—out five day.
SALEM, Sept. 11.
Capt. Samuel Townsend arrived on Sunday from C. N. Mile. We learn, that while he lay there, the brigands from the mountains furiously assaulted a principal fort back of the town, and carried it after a vigorous defence. It was, however retaken by the British in a few hours afterwards with a great loss on the side of the victors. The assaults are so frequent from the brigands, that the town is almost untenable and the British have serious thoughts of abandoning it. Since they have been in possession of it, they have pursued a conduct towards the American commerce by means calculated to enforce the advantage intended by the British Treaty.
Talleyrand's Friendship.
Capt. Silver, in the fch's Sewell, arrived yesterday in 22 days from St. Pierre's Martinique. With him came passenger Mr. J. Shepard jun. of this town, late mariner on the brig Diana, capt. Walker, of Bolton owned by Messrs. Geyer, and which was captured, 15 days out, on her passage to Martinique, by a French frigate of 44 gun and 350 men, in lat. 34, 41, long. 58, 35 and all her hands (with the crew of the brig Valure, capt. Walton, of Newburyport, which was captured 15 days before, put on board the brig Ceres, of Bolton owned also by Messrs. Geyer, but boarded with lumber only, was not considered worth capturing, especially as the pirate wished to get rid of the unfortunate Americans they had before captured (32 in number). They arrived at Martinique 15 day after they were captured, and took passage for their several homes in different vessels. This frigate was so cruised as far to the north west as 38, and then proceeded directly to France. She was from Cayenne.
Capt. Walton's brig was burnt immediately after her capture, while he was begging that he might have her with only one captian—the internals were inexpressible. The brig Diana was to be burnt the next day after her capture. The capt. of her had taken passage in the brig Letley, of and for Bolton.
