CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
By the Brig Dean, Capt. Burnham, arrived at New-York, in 49 days from Havre-de-Grace, and other late arrivals.
STOCKHOLM, July 1. Baron Buberg, ambassador from the empire of Russia, has had his first audience of his majesty. Besides his credentials, he presented to his majesty a private communication from her imperial majesty, containing the warmest assurances of peace and amity. The king expressed his satisfaction at receiving these assurances, and in return gave the most solemn promises in his determination to pursue a similar line of conduct. His majesty then invited the baron to dine with him in his own marquee at the camp, and to accompany him to a general review of his army. These marks of condescension which are seldom exercised towards foreign ministers, made the deepest impression on the Russian ambassador, and produced the most grateful acknowledgements. At the same audience, the grand master of the ceremonies presented to his majesty M. Declopau, the ambassador's secretary of legation.
NUREMBERG, July 16. The king of Prussia has taken possession of the suburbs of our city, and we even expect that he will insist upon the surrender of the castle. Banberg expects the same fate. Proclamations made in the king's name, and signed by his prime minister, baron Hardenberg, viceroys of the countries of Anspach and Bareuth, are every where placarded. The inhabitants are invited to be tranquil, and to respect particularly the troops of his imperial majesty—if they do not respect them, the troops will be obliged to use force. In this manner, by little and little, the king of Prussia will gain as much by his proclamations, as the emperor loses by his armies in the field. P. S. We learn this moment that two strong columns of the Rhine and Moselle army, coming from the Lohr, after several murderous battles, have got possession of Kelzengen, Dornstadt Hornberg, and Rotwell, 8 leagues from Stuttgart. By means of the last place, they are masters of the Danube and Neckar.
[Translated for the (N. Y.) MINERVA.] [From the Journal of Commerce, July 20.]
STRASBOURG, July 14 (26 Messidor.) A report this moment prevails, that the French have passed the Rhine at Huninguen. We learn also that the Margrave of Baden has sent ministers to Paris to conclude a separate peace. It is added that there has been granted to the duke of Wirttemberg and the margrave, an armistice, by means of which the French will not take possession of Carlsruhe. They write from Frankfort that the Emperor has appointed Mr. Muller, his agent at Paris. He is to agree with the government on the preliminary articles of peace.
PARIS, July 10. The Journal of Paris announces that the emigrants, composing the army of Conde, are surrounded by the army of Gen. Moreau. We have as yet no details on this subject. The pretender is at Hertzogenbusch. We may publish now, without danger, and even with pride, that when Buonaparte entered Italy, he had of cavalry but from 7 to 800 bad horses, and 18 artillery horses that drew two pieces of cannon. The remainder of the artillery were drawn by men. Now he has a brilliant cavalry composed of at least 5,000 horses for dragoons and artillery. It is stated for certain, that the French troops, under the orders of general Massena, in Italy, have beaten the Austrians on the Ala at five leagues from Roveredo, and have obliged them to retire behind the town of Trent.
BUONAPARTE, Commander in Chief of the Army of Italy, to the Municipalities of Pavia and Milan. "I desire, gentlemen, that the University of Pavia, celebrated by so many titles, should resume the course of its studies. Acquaint the learned professors, and the numerous scholars of that university, that I invite them to repair forthwith to Pavia, to propose to me such measures as they think proper to be taken to increase the activity, and give a more brilliant existence to that renowned University." (Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
July 24. We have this moment received the certain intelligence that the duke of Wirttemberg has provisionally furnished the French troops with considerable magazines of forage. He has withdrawn his troops from the Austrian armies, in consequence of the stipulations of the Truce. He is also to supply horses, cattle and money. Extract of a letter from Bonn, July 15. The guards of the military stores here have just received orders to remove them to Frankfort. They are going to construct 44 ovens for the service of the army.
ARRET of 2d THERMIDOR 20th JULY. The directory, desirous of giving Gen. Hoche, commander of the army on the borders of the Ocean, a mark of their satisfaction for the services he has rendered his country, and to honor, in his person, the brave defenders, who, under his orders, have terminated the long and unfortunate war of La Vendee, and the Chouans, decree, That there be presented to Gen. Hoche, in the name of the French Republic, two of the most elegant horses in the depots of the Republic, with their harness. He shall also receive a pair of pistols of war, of the national manufacture of Versailles. The ministers of War and the interior are charged with the execution of the present decree. CARNOT, President. LEGARDE, Sec'y.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
Roissey D'ANGLAS, President. A Commission, by their organ Dauberménil, proposed a project, that a column be erected in each Commune, on which shall be engraved the names of the defenders of liberty, who have gloriously died in the field of honor; and that funeral festivals be instituted in all the great communes. The consideration of it adjourned.
Extract of a private letter taken from an official Gazette.
Larrach, in the Margraviate, July 16, (26 Messidor.) I inform you my dear friend, that this morning at 9 o'clock our troops passed the Rhine at Huninguen. They are gone to take possession of the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach. They occupy Larrach, Weil, Hattingen, Emmendingen, Pingen, Effringen. Gen. Laborde, who conducted this expedition, found the country deserted. The inhabitants removed all their most valuable effects and provisions, but returned them, on being assured, that their property should be respected, and that the most rigid discipline reigned among the defenders of liberty. The enemy fled in great haste—to-morrow, according to all appearance, we shall be at Rheinfelden. There are at Pingen, Austrian stores of hay, oats, wood, &c. which measures are taken to secure.
We are well received by the inhabitants of the Margraviate, who thank heaven for their deliverance from the Austrians who pillaged them last night in a most terrible manner.
Extract of a letter from Wilhembad, July 15. Since the French have taken Frankfort, at least 500 families of the country on the Mein, the Rhine and Neckar, have arrived here and at Hanau, with great numbers of waggons laden with baggage. Terror seized every soul, and all fled with what they could carry away. The Austrian and French troops, who are now on this small territory, amount to 200,000 men. Our buildings are insufficient to contain the people who flock hither. Many are encamped in the woods and neighbouring forests.
All the Imperial troops, from the Upper and Lower Rhine, are united between Mannheim and Heidelberg, where are their head quarters.
The Saxon troops form the advance guard, by which means they suffer more than the Austrians. The entrenchments raised about Mannheim are very formidable—they extend three leagues into the environs; 300 peasants work night and day; they are compelled by canes and sabres—5,000 trees have been levelled in the forest of Odenwalds. The number of prisoners taken by General Kleber at Koffheim when the Austrians passed the Mein, is very considerable.
July 25. ARMY OF THE RHINE AND MOSELLE. The silence which has prevailed for some days, respecting the operations of the army of the Rhine and Moselle, began to cause anxiety; but some official letters addressed to the Executive Directory, from the General in Chief, Moreau, will not only tranquillize us, but also afford us new motives for joy. The General announces, with his usual modesty, the late success of the army under his command. He informs, first, the armistice concluded with the duke de Wirttemberg; he announces also the departure of two plenipotentiaries for Paris, to negotiate a separate peace. He also relates the particulars of the battle which General Ferino fought on the 26th; the design of this affair was to expel the enemy from the valley of Kirche; it completely succeeded. General Jordy, who attacked the posts at Haplach and Haulen, carried them with the bayonet, after a vigorous resistance; he has made 200 prisoners, and taken two pieces of cannon. General Laborde having at the same time effected a passage of the Rhine at Huninguen, Kempt and Brifac; the whole was completely effected. The particulars of these last operations are not yet known. The attacks of General Duhem, at the springs of Kinche, were also successful. The right column attacked Wolfach, and routed the enemy, taking 20 prisoners, and a magazine of provisions. The attack was made on the post of Alperch, which was carried with much bravery. Nearly the whole garrison were killed or taken; there were about 200 prisoners. The right wing, commanded by the chief of brigade, Laval, attacked all the posts of the enemy between the Neckar and Kinche, they were forced every where, and pursued as far as Schramberg. The loss of the enemy was considerable—six cases of cartridges, 40 horses, 200 prisoners, among which were 6 officers and 30 non-commissioned officers were taken. General Moreau concludes his letter, dated 26th Messidor, in announcing the entrance of General Jourdan, into Frankfort, and the hope of being shortly enabled to give an account of the enemy being entirely expelled from the Brisgau, and the borders of the Neckar. In a second letter, General Moreau assured us, that the affair at Ettingen, has been one of the most fortunate in the war.
From the Courier Francaise, of July 14.
Copy of a letter from the Grand Duke of Tuscany, to General Buonaparte. [Not dated in the Gazette.] General, The General Spagnochi, arrested by your order, has been conveyed hither from Livorno. I retain him under arrest, until I can learn the reasons of his arrest (which I presume are just) that I may give you, as well as the French Republic and all Europe, the highest proof of that equity, conformed to the laws of my country, by which I hold it my duty to be governed. I commit this letter to my steward, the Marquis Monfredini, whom I beg you to inform in what particular, the above mentioned Spagnochi has been faulty. You may repose entire confidence in him, concerning all the objects which are interesting to the peace of my subjects. I desire earnestly to receive a line from your hand, which, under present circumstances, may af-
ford me complete tranquillity, and at the same time assure quiet to all Tuscany.
I am, with perfect esteem, (Signed) FERDINAND.
[We have not the answer, but in the letter of Buonaparte to the Directory, already published, the reasons which induced him to arrest Spagnochi, are assigned, viz. his not preventing the British from taking two French vessels in the port of Leghorn, and otherwise favoring the English and hating the French.]
[Translated for the Daily Advertiser.] BASIL, (Switz.) 25th June.
The following is a copy of a letter written by Monf. Barthelemy, Ambassador of the French Republic to the Swiss Cantons.
Magnificent Lords, I am informed that the glorious and rapid progress of the French armies in Italy have determined many of the emigrants and French priests, enemies of their country, to take refuge in the bailiwicks beyond the Mountains, which are under the jurisdiction of the twelve cantons. As it is very probable that they will scatter themselves over the Helvetic territory, in order to unite their plans of hatred and fury against the French Republic, with those of other emigrants and French priests, who unfortunately for the repose of both nations have found an asylum in some of the Helvetic states, I conceive it my duty agreeably to my instructions, to request formally from you, that you will banish from the territory of the confederation all description of those strangers so dangerous to the tranquillity of France and Switzerland, as well those, whom a false pity has hitherto tolerated, as those who may hereafter take refuge there. You will recollect, magnificent Lords, that I have more than once invoked with strength and earnestness the influence of the Helvetic territory, to obtain from the different states of your honorable confederation, decisive measures upon this important point. As those have only been partial, as the emigrants banished from one part have returned to the other, the consequence has been that they have through the Helvetic body served as instruments to the hostile projects of the powers leagued against the French Republic. They cannot, magnificent lords, any longer prolong their stay there, without injuring that confidence which ought to subsist between the two nations one of which cannot afford an asylum to the other, without essentially affecting the duties of neutrality. The Directory of the French Republic demands and expects from the friendship of your worthy cantons, that listening only to your true and solid interests, you will drive forever from among you, the emigrants and French priests, since it is proved by long experience, that they are the most bitter enemies of the French Republic, and that their only care is to foment disturbances upon the frontiers, and to weaken those useful connections which the French Republic is always desirous of maintaining with the worthy Helvetic body. Be pleased, magnificent Lords, to take this request into your most serious consideration, and acquaint me with the resolutions which you shall take to answer the wishes of the Executive Directory. Your wisdom will appreciate its extreme and pressing importance. (Signed) BARTHELEMY, Ambassador of the French Republic.
THE ANSWER.
Letter of a Magistrate of Bern in the name of the Council, to Monf. Barthelemy, in answer to his letter to the Helvetic Cantons.
WHEN, Sir, your demand of being formally acknowledged as Ambassador of the French Republic was laid before the Council of which I have the honor to be a member, I opposed it, because I did not see any advantage which could arise from that measure to the Helvetic Body, because, without having been acknowledged by us under that title, you had nevertheless for several years acted as the intermediate agent in the various connections between France and Switzerland, and because I considered that demand as an attempt to draw after it many others which might disturb our rights and our tranquillity.
Your letter of the 20th of May, which has this moment been transmitted to us through the Helvetic Directory, justifies my mistrust, and leaves us no longer any reason to doubt but that the French Republic have in truth an intention of overturning the basis of natural law, and of the public rights of nations.
How, Sir!—Hospitality is unquestionably one of the most sacred laws of Nature; it was the origin of civilization, it created (so to speak) all the social virtues, and yet the first act of your mission is to solicit us solemnly to infringe it. You not only demand from us that we should reject those unhappy fugitives whom your successes in Italy have driven from an asylum where they enjoyed the only consolation of the unfortunate, the respect of the public; but you also press upon us absolutely to banish from our territories, the unfortunate, whom our religion directs us to comfort, whom respect for our laws, our customs and our manners, has daily rendered more dear to our fellow-citizens, who for seven years have by their conduct presented to our countrymen examples of the strictest fidelity, and in their misfortunes have afforded patterns of the noblest resignation. They are, you say, the enemies of both nations. Without doubt they sigh over the victims of oppression, and over the cruel destiny of their country, torn by the fury of discordant factions—Ah! where is the heart so hard as not to shed tears over the evils which France has endured for so many years—But if they have plans of hatred and vengeance (which the necessary weakness of their situation will not permit us even to suspect) they take good care to conceal them from us, and it is time at length to render us justice, by believing that our active care will not give them any opportunity of favoring in our territory the hostile schemes of the powers leagued against our government. No, Sir, they are not our enemies—gratitude does not produce hatred: I will say more, they are not your's—they are compassionate you, and should it happen that the fortune of war should favor their cause, their first wish (to use their own expression) would be to open their arms to repentance; their next would be

to see those who differ from them in sentiment, in the peaceful enjoyment of that asylum which you would ravish from them with so much inhumanity. Consult, Sir, your own memory, and you will not doubt but those are the sentiments of the French nobility who idolized their king, more attached than ever to their religious principles, and whose greatest misfortune is to have survived all that was dear to them. Consult your own interest, and perhaps you will think it imprudent any longer to urge a measure of which you yourself may by some unforeseen event be the victim.
But I pass on to another object which is no less important, as it concerns the law of nations. Permit me, Sir, to ask you, who is that writer that has furnished you with that maxim so unknown until our days. "A neutral nation cannot grant an asylum to the enemies of a belligerent state, without essentially affecting the duties of neutrality." It was without doubt dictated by that unrelenting hatred which projected your instructions; for I can never believe that a person so deeply versed in diplomatic knowledge could have thus confounded the duties of alliance and of neutrality, things in themselves so materially different. The one (at least with particular and stipulated exceptions) obliges us to regard as enemies all the subjects of the State armed against the allied parties, and forbids granting them an asylum under the penalty of essentially affecting the duties of alliance. The other subjects us only to the prohibition of favoring the one of the belligerent powers. Neutrality, such as we exercise and such as has been defined by Puffendorf, Grotius, &c. is the political situation of a government, which, not furnishing either directly or indirectly, either troops, arms or succors, offensive or defensive, to the belligerent powers, maintains with them its treaties and union, and commerce, without being affected by the rights of war, in its interior or exterior operations.
It is upon this basis that we have scrupulously regulated our conduct to this day, and if, by an impolitic condescension, we should suffer ourselves at this moment, to deviate from those principles, sanctioned by the laws of nations, what security have we, that you will not immediately demand of us that we break our commercial connections with the Empire, with Austria and England, and even that we should dismiss the ministers of those states? All those demands would be a consequence of the first, and we should have lost the right of refusing a compliance. What right, what law should we then have to oppose to the aggressions of your enemies. Would it be that of our neutrality? Despoiled of all its characteristics, it would not be acknowledged, and our only recourse would be in a coalition, and this the political interests and the pacific views of our Cantons equally reject. But, Sir, who will warrant to you that the powers leagued against France will not claim on your account the pretended right which you this day set up? Let not your modesty deceive you, for in our readiness to satisfy you, they shall imagine they discover proofs of our weakness, they will make your judgment on this occasion the standard of their conduct, which will then probably accord with their interest.
I allow, if you please, that such is the lot of the emigrants and the unfortunate French priests, that however rigorous the measures might be which we should take against them, that still no claim would be made which would at all disturb our political tranquility; but doth the certainty of impunity change the nature of a criminal action? Shall we commit an act of barbarity because we have no cause to fear that it will be avenged? And what then will be this new morality of nations if such principles are to be established in place of the rights of nature, of those of humanity, and of the sacred precepts of religion? No, Sir, I dare assure you that we shall do honor to ourselves in respecting the unfortunate, and the only courage we shall want, will be the courage to expose ourselves to the stings of remorse.
I know that they cannot this moment object to us the example of a sovereign, who connected to the house of Bourbon by the dearest ties of blood has yet consented to the expulsion of the emigrants from all his states; but it will not be the mediators of the pacification of Prussia or of Spain, who will cite to me a treaty dictated by force and subscribed by weakness; a treaty which was the abuse and not the right of victory; a treaty in fine, which highly censured by your own citizens, provokes an universal indignation against the conquerors, and weakens a sentiment of the tenderest interest in favor of the vanquished.
And whither would you, that these unfortunate strangers should go, if banished from their country where they could find only a scaffold, and driven from the land where the terror of your arms gives the law for their proscription, they are still repulsed from neutral states where their supplications demand less the right of existence than the tranquillity of the tomb? Shall we behold those thousands of old men, of women, and of children, who, with the little of their misfortunes, have cast themselves upon our hospitable territory, shall we, without horror, behold them hopeless of an asylum but in the Dens of Savages, and without any subsistence but that which they must dispute for with the beasts of the forest? Ah, do not doubt Sir, you have known them in the hour of prosperity: we do not doubt, we who for seven years have observed them under the trials of adversity, we do not doubt but that their last sigh would be a prayer for their persecutors—But, even their prayers would not disarm the hand of the Eternal—their bones scattered over our soil would call for the vengeance of Heaven upon us, and upon our posterity, and the tending cry of our consciences would be but the commencement of our punishment.
I am, &c. We have copied this answer from the "Universal Mercury," of Frankfort; but as this piece is without signature, we may, without any impropriety, doubt its authenticity. We give it for what it is worth.
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE.
Saturday, July 23.
Downing-Street, July 23.
The letters, of which the following are copies, have been received from the honourable William Frederick Wyndham, his majesty's envoy extraor-
dinary and minister plenipotentiary to the grand duke of Tuscany, and from Mr. Udney, his majesty's consul at Leghorn, by the right honourable lord Grenville, his majesty's principal secretary of state for the department of foreign affairs.
My Lord,
I have the honour to inform your lordship, that on the 18th instant the French entered Bologna, to the number of about 15,000 men, having previously sent before them a commissary and a troop of cavalry, to demand entrance into the city, with a promise of treating it in a friendly manner. In consequence, being masters of the town and fortress, they made the garrison prisoners of war, and sent them under escort into the Milanese. The Pope's legate, they immediately ordered to quit the Bologna.
On receiving this information, I immediately waited on the prime minister, Scritti, and the marquis Manfredini, to know whether his royal highness had any intelligence of an intent of the French to march into Tuscany, or to garrison Leghorn; and I had the most positive assurances from both, that the French had no idea at present of entering into Leghorn.
I own, my Lord, that I do not place much confidence in their promises of not coming to Leghorn; I have therefore thought proper to write to the admiral my sentiments to that effect, requesting him to leave some vessels at Leghorn, to carry off the merchants and British subjects, with their effects, in case of a sudden invasion. I have likewise desired the consul to convene the British factory, and to tell them not to rely too much on French faith.
I have the honour, &c.
W. F. WYNDHAM.
Florence, June 25.
My Lord,
I have the honour to inform your lordship, that the situation of affairs in this country is materially changed: the neutrality of the grand duke, which, from every promise on the part of the Directory at Paris, and their minister here, we had reason to expect would be religiously respected, has been openly violated, by the march of a considerable body of French troops to Pistoia, the destination of which, I have reason to believe, from a variety of concurring circumstances, to be for Leghorn: and the republic of Lucca has given intimation to this government, that such is, undoubtedly, the project of the French. The violation of the neutrality is so palpable, and the measures taken by the enemy so apparently hostile, as to make it probable that the country will not escape contributions. I have omitted no means for forwarding information almost daily to the Consul and Admiral.
I have the honour, &c.
W. F. WYNDHAM.
Florence, June 25.
My Lord,
I was this day informed by the Secretary of State that a column of French was on its march from Bologna, by the way of Pignano and Perugia, of which he did not know the number; that another column consisting of between 8 and 9,000, were to arrive this day at Pistoia: that the Marquis Manfredini, who was despatched by the Grand Duke to Bologna on the instant with the strongest remonstrances, and ordered to use his utmost endeavors with Buonaparte and Saliceti to dissuade the French from entering Tuscany, had received for answer, that no orders had been given by the Directory at Paris to that effect, and consequently it was not in their power to do otherwise; and all that they would do, was to pass through Tuscany as speedily, friendly, and quietly as possible, and by whatever road his royal highness should be pleased to dictate; but that the commissaries and two generals of the column, marching to Pistoia, being arrived there, have declared to the general Strafoldo (who was sent by the grand duke to meet them, and to give the necessary orders to insure tranquility) that they have no orders to receive from the grand duke, and do not know the route they shall take—a circumstance utterly impossible, as they precede the army to obtain provisions.
I have the honour, &c.
W. F. WYNDHAM.
On board his Majesty's ship the Inconstant, Leghorn Road, June 27.
My Lord,
In consequence of the intelligence which I received on the 24th instant, from the Hon. Wm. Frederick Wyndham, his Majesty's Minister at Florence, and from my different Emissaries on the Roads, that there was a considerable probability, that the French would enter Leghorn; I immediately called a meeting of the Gentlemen of the Factory, and communicated to them the above mentioned information, and if equal attention had been paid to it by all as was done by the principal Members, the loss would have been far less considerable, I am happy, however, to be able to inform your Lordship, that by the extraordinary exertions which have been made, and in particular by captain Freemantle, commanding his Majesty's ships in the Mole, twenty three in number, together with great part of the valuable effects in the ware-houses, and about two hundred and forty oxen for the use of his Majesty's fleet, have in the course of two days and nights, been saved.
I have the honour, &c.

My Lord,
Having seen the factory and English subjects, and the convoy, with their valuable effects carried into Corsica, I proceeded in his Majesty's ship Inconstant, capt. Freemantle, to receive the Commander in Chief's instructions for my future government in the service of his Majesty's fleet, and having received Sir John Jervis's orders, I am returning immediately to Corsica, in his Majesty's ship Inconstant, to rejoin the factory and execute his commands.
I am, &c.

Such a dreadful tendency has the excessive use of White Paint, that a Young Lady of this city died in consequence of its effects on Monday last. An European by birth, and unaccustomed to the heat of the climate, she has been obliged, to preserve a consistent appearance, to renew the fatal application several times during the day. She was seized with violent tremors, which were succeeded by convulsions, and the doctor was of opinion that painting was the immediate cause of her death. We are sorry to say she has left an indigent, helpless mother, to lament the premature loss of the prop of her existence, as this unfortunate victim to pride and vanity, supported herself and mother by working as a tailoress.

COMMERCIAL.
The following has been published by direction of the Secretary of State.
DONA MARIA, by the Grace of God, Queen of Portugal, &c.
BE it known to all, that having taken into my royal consideration the many and important advantages that must necessarily result to the commerce of the subjects of these kingdoms and dominions, in the establishment of a free port; and considering that the port of Lisbon, from its situation, security and facility to the navigation of the ocean, exceeds those of other nations who have adopted such establishments; conforming myself with the advice of my royal board of commerce, agriculture, manufactures and navigation, of these kingdoms and its dominions, and of other persons of my council very learned and zealous of my service and of the public good; it is my royal will and pleasure to establish at Janqueira, near the city of Lisbon, a free port, which is to have its entire and full effect from the 1st of January 1797: having destined for its administration, and other purposes thereunto belonging, the houses and ware-houses of the fort of St. John, with the territory adjacent, for the building of further necessary accommodations, in which may be received and deposited all merchandizes and goods of every nature and quality forever, as well from foreign countries (excepting, for the present, sugar and tobacco) as from national ports, that are situated beyond the Cape of Good-Hope, at the will of the proprietors, either for consumption of these realms, having made due entry according to law and paid the lawful duties at the respective Custom houses; or if exported to foreign or national ports beyond the said Cape-of-Good-Hope, paying only, for the benefit of my royal revenue, and under the title of protection and deposit, one per cent. on the value of such merchandise, &c. according to the invoice, which the captains of vessels or those who may have the consignment shall present and manifest, and by them signed and qualified under their oath: Subisting however the liberty of Franquia to all vessels that shall demand it, according to the regulations and orders observed at the Custom house of this city: suppressing all other duties, and annulling every regulation and order whatever, contrary or opposed to the said liberty of franchise that forms the advantage of this present establishment.
And in order to animate and promote in this capital the importance of a great plenty of articles of the first necessity, it is my will to declare, that all sorts of grain and provisions that are exempt from paying duties of entry, shall not only enjoy the liberty of exportation, but shall be free from the payment of the above mentioned contribution imposed on the other articles.
In case the crown of Portugal shall be at war with any power whatever, whose subjects are interested in the goods, merchandizes, &c. in the free port, in which enumeration are to be comprehended the above mentioned grains and provisions, there shall be made no arrest, embargo, sequestration, or reprisal on such goods or merchandizes, but on the contrary they shall remain exempt, free, and secure, as if they were in the possession of their respective owners, to dispose of them as they shall judge most convenient to their interests.
The administration of the above mentioned free port shall be put under the inspection of an administrator general, with those competent officers whom it will be my pleasure to appoint. And it is my will that this administration be independent of every jurisdiction, excepting only the tribunal of my royal Board of Commerce, through which all the necessary orders shall be expedited, and all representations made to me tending to maintain and preserve the good faith of this establishment, in conformity with the particular regulations which I have ordered to be formed for the government of the above mentioned administration and its officers, and to serve as a rule to the captains of vessels and their agents, in the importation and exportation of all merchandizes which are to enjoy the advantages of this free port.

From Cadiz, by capt. Hilman in 44 days, we have the latest news. No British fleet was then cruising off the harbor—and the French fleet under Richery, were taking on board their small flock preparatory to sailing.—They expected to proceed to sea the next day after capt. Hilman failed. There was no positive news at Cadiz of the capture of any American vessels by the Algerines. One had been chased—and it is uncertain what would have been her fate, had the pirate overtaken her. It cannot positively be said she would have been taken.
From St. Thomas—we learn by capt. Young, that it was tolerably healthy, notwithstanding the late story we had of the plague being there. La Penfee French frigate, which lately had an engagement with an English frigate, was lying there, with two other French frigates, just from Cape Francois.

Citizens Directors,
After the battle of Borghetto, the enemy retired in the high mountains, in order to secure the passes of the Tyrol; they had fortified their lines with a great deal of care, between lake Garda and the Adige. Massena ordered general Joubert to attack the enemy by Bassichetta di Campion. The chief of battalion, Marchaud, marched and turned the enemy's right, which was the signal of attack. With trailed arms, and without firing a single shot, our soldiers clambered the crags of the rocks, killed 100 men, took 200 prisoners, with 400 tents, and all their baggage.
During this time, the chief of battalion, Recco, an officer of the greatest bravery, turned the enemy's left, instantly took the excellent position Belona, killed 300 men, and made 70 prisoners. The enemy abandoned their intrenchments in 6 minutes. We destroyed the works, so that a month's fatigue was lost in an instant. This is the first battle which has taken place between the two armies since the new general has commanded the enemy.
I shall soon attack the Austrians, who hold the lake Garda.

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, entitled an act in addition to an act, intitled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and Septem- ber for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thou- sand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the ori- ginal capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hun- dred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then due equale, according to the contract, for the final redemp- tion of the said stock." 2d. All distinction between payments on account of Interest and Principal being thus abolished by the establish- ment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above de- scribed, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz: KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, do make, constitute and appoint the true and lawful At- torney, for me, and in my name, to receive the dividends which are, or shall be payable according to law, on the (here describing the stock) funding in my name in the books of (here describing the books of the Treasury or the Commissioner of Loans, where the stock is credited) from (here insert the com- mencement and expiration of time for which the power of attorney is to continue) with power also an attorney or attor- neys under him, for that purpose to make and substitute, and in all lawful acts to use his or their name, hereby ratifying and confirming all that my said Attorney or his substitute, shall lawfully do, by virtue hereof. In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my Hand and Seal the day of in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety six Sealed and Delivered in presence of, BE IT KNOWN, that on this day of before me personally came within named and acknowledged the above letter of attorney to be his act and deed. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my Hand and seal this day of in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety six Given under my Hand at Philadelphia, this twenty- eighth day of July 1796, pursuant to directions from the Secretary of the Treasury.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the pri- vate buildings to be erected in the City of Washington— Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the closing of the draw- ing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET. $ Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; or James Watt & Co. Baltimore; or Peter Gilman, Boston of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells Cooper's Ferry. dtf
