believed, by the best informed persons, that an amicable arrangement was on the point of being concluded between Spain and Portugal. A courier from Madrid, with dispatches from the prince of Brazil, arrived at Lisbon 3 days before the king George left the Tagus. Sir J. M. Poulton came over in the packet.
From the language which dropped from some of the members in parliament last night, we are not led to form any very sanguine hopes on the subject of peace.
January 1.
Dispatches from lord William Bentinck mention the commencement of hostilities in Italy, rather advantageous for the Austrians; though no important action had taken place on the 1st of December. Lord Minto, it is said, has received information of sir Ralph Abercrombie having proceeded from Malta for Egypt.
A dispatch received at the India house, via Buforan, dated the middle of August, last throws some light on the plan of operations intended to be pursued against the French in Egypt. By this conveyance we have received a confirmation of the intelligence we lately announced, of a detachment of the Bombay army having been ordered to prepare for embarkation, for the purpose of proceeding to the Straits of Babelmandel, to make an attack upon the enemy's positions at Suez, while gen. Abercrombie, with the army under his command, makes a vigorous assault upon the side of Alexandria. Some important advices may therefore be shortly expected from that quarter.
We are left to infer from his majesty's speech to parliament yesterday, that measures have been taken to procure an explanation of the Emperor Paul respecting his late extraordinary conduct: if this be unsatisfactory, war will be the inevitable alternative.
We understand that very great exertions are making at Brest, to fit out a fleet of ships against the spring. Very large bounties are given to foreign seamen to enlist.
January 2.
Received by the mails yesterday.
From the Vienna Court Gazette, Dec. 17.
His royal highness the Archduke Charles, being recovered from his indisposition, which some time ago obliged him to quit the army, his imperial majesty has been pleased again to confer on his royal highness the command of the army in Germany. His royal highness quitted Prague on the 14th instant, to take upon himself that command; but is resolved at the same time to retain the chief command of the Bohemo-Moravian legion, and has previously appointed general count Sztarray to the command of that legion.
His royal highness the Archduke John has sent reports, dated the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th instant, from the head quarters at Frosburgh, Theisendorf, and Salzburg: according to which the line of the corps of Prince Conde was attacked by the enemy on the 9th, in the neighborhood of Nenbayern, who overpowered the post of Nenbayern, and thus advanced to the right banks of the Inn. Agreeably to the statement sent at the same time by his royal highness, the loss of his army, since the renewal of hostilities, amounts to 918 men killed, and 3514 in wounded; the number of prisoners and missing had at first been stated at 5396 men; but as of the latter many have since joined their corps again, the exact number of prisoners cannot as yet be stated with certainty.
From Italy, the general of cavalry,
count Bellegarde, reports, under the 6th and 9th instant, that on the 6th the enemy had advanced by four different roads against the position at Bondero, occupied by gen. Schustick, whom they attacked with much vigor; but lieut. col. Munkatzy, stationed there with some troops for the support of the former, employed them so skilfully that the enemy was repulsed; on which occasion a chief of battalion, 7 officers, and 80 non-commissioned officers and privates were made prisoners; and two vessels, on board of which the enemy had attempted to cross the Panaro with a division of troops, were taken. Of the other hostile troops that had advanced for attacking that position, 100 were partly killed, partly wounded, on their flight. Our own loss was inconsiderable. On the 6th, the said gen. Schustick extended his out posts along the Panaro, as far as St. Bianca, & along the Recco & Po di Primaro, as far as Argento and Bastia. On this occasion the enemy's post near Col di Fiame was attacked by capt. Herdlizka, under the direction of lieut. col. Grassen, when two captains, two officers, and 21 privates were made prisoners, and the rest killed; 15 vessels were also taken from the enemy, and conveyed to our shore. The enemy, who had constantly sent foraging parties from the environs of Marcaria to this side of the Oglio, for which purpose they occupied Osipaleto and Campitello, were, at the same time attacked in both these places by a division sent from Mantua, by the commandant of that city, field marshal lieut. Minkwitz, and driven from thence with considerable loss in killed and wounded, and some prisoners."
January 3.
No advices either from France or Germany had arrived when this paper was put to press. The next Paris Journals are expected to bring intelligence of considerable importance. The archduke Charles having joined the Austrian army, great hopes are entertained from his skill in arms unless the further progress of the war should happen to be arrested by the speedy conclusion of a continental peace.
The Prussian army, according to the last estimate, consists of no less than 251,849 effective men.
The Bavarian troops according to the French Journals, were placed in the post of danger, at the memorable battle of Hohenlinden. They were ordered to march into the defile, whilst the Austrians occupied the open plain; great numbers of the former fell of course, and the loss on the part of the Imperial troops, was comparatively trifling. The elector was displeased to see his troops thus sacrificed, whilst those of Austria were spared: and thus sprung up the misunderstanding between the courts of Vienna and Munich, which has by this time most probably terminated in an alliance between the latter, and the new fangled cabinet of the Thuilleries.
Previous to the departure of the archduke Charles from Prague to resume the chief command of the Imperial army, he issued the following proclamation, dated the 12th ult. viz.
"His royal imperial majesty has been pleased to confer upon me the chief command of the army. As I consider it my duty implicitly to obey this appointment, I take the earliest opportunity to communicate the event to the chief Burgrave, and government of this kingdom, that I am to retain the chief command of the patriotic
legion, as well as of the other troops which are destined for the defence of Bohemia. My new appointment will not lessen my future attention and interest in every thing that concerns the defence of Bohemia. Every measure for that purpose will be pursued with the same vigilance and assiduity as before. For the certain attainment of this great patriotic object my unceasing exertions shall be employed. On the other hand, I hope and expect, from the chief Burgrave and Diet of the kingdom, that, like faithful subjects, they will lend their entire co-operation for the completion of those preparations of defence that have been begun, and which the urgent danger of the country so impetuously requires. The honorable confidence I have experienced in the establishment of the legion demands my most sincere approbation, and is a pledge that nothing will be wanting in the exertion of those farther efforts here recommended. &c."
The French, it is said, mean to levy a contribution of 3,000,000 franks on the Bishoprick of Salzburg.
A private letter from Vienna, furnishes the following statements:
"His majesty the emperor returns this very evening with the court from Hungary and will go to the army by the 26th instant at farthest.
"Our situation, since Moreau has crossed the Inn, is become rather critical; yet pusillanimity does not influence our councils. It is a false report that Mons de Colenbach has been sent to Luneville and Paris to solicit a new armistice. One or two battles more will decide the great point. Meanwhile it is very doubtful whether the subsidiary treaty of alliance between Baron Thugut and lord Minto will be renewed. It expires on the 1st of February, and his lordship has actually had several conferences with our ministry relative to its renewal upon more advantageous terms.
"Those who pretend that this treaty between Austria and Great Britain has actually been renewed on the 20th ult. are much mistaken, for nothing decisive will be done on that head, till we know what turn affairs take in the field. If we are fortunate, the principle of a general pacification will be strenuously asserted; but if unfortunate, necessity, which knows no law, will compel us to a separate peace. Bets are now laid here of 50 to 10 that this great affair will be ultimately settled before the first day of the new year.
RATISBON, December 19.
The intelligence that the archduke Charles will take the command of the army in Germany, has occasioned the greatest joy throughout the army, and all the Austrian troops. That prince has already arrived at the head quarters of the Austrian army. It is the opinion of many, that if the army of Moreau should attempt to penetrate further, it will be taken in flank by the troops from Bohemia.
NUREMBERG, December 13.
Yesterday the third part of the French garrison here forming a column of 700 men marched out at the gate towards the Upper Palatinate. To-day, however, the same column returned, followed by 15 waggons laden with wounded. An action has taken place near Lauf & Altdorf, to the disadvantage of the French; the Austrians will now strenuously defend the Upper Palatinate. Angeleau has passed thro'
Erlangen and Herzajen Aurach. His troops have again advanced in consequence of Moreau's having passed the Inn. The army of Moreau purchased its advantages with much blood.
MUNICH, December 15.
The movements of the French army seem to have for their objects to pass the right wing of the imperial army, and to alarm it for its magazines in Upper Austria. It was by a similar manœuvre that Moreau, in the month of May, forced general Kray to retreat behind the Danube.
We are assured that the cannonade has been heard to-day, in the environs of Landshut, and it is presumed that the right wing of the Imperial army has made an attack at that point on the left wing of the French army.
HAMBURG, December, 26.
Yesterday five Russian mails arrived here together. The intelligence which they have brought is extremely uninteresting, except in so far as it confirms the melancholy accounts respecting the sufferings of the English sailors. None of the letters received by this conveyance taken any notice of the reception his Danish majesty has met with at Petersburg, nor of the object which induced him to repair to that capital. The silence may indeed be accounted for by the extremely rigid inspection to which private correspondence of every kind is now subjected before passing the frontiers of Russia.
Generals Herman and d'Essen, disgraced on account of their conduct in Holland, have been reinstated in the emperor's favor and their former rank in the army.
A letter from Munich, dated the 15th, received here this evening, states, that on the evening of the 14th an Austrian officer had arrived at Travenstein with dispatches from the emperor to gen. Moreau; but the latter refused to open them, desiring the bearer to proceed directly with them to the French ambassador at Luneville.

Berry, of Philadelphia, captured the same day by the same privateer. The day previous had taken schooner Eliza and ship Fair American of Baltimore. The privateer had a smart engagement for an hour and half with the British brig Daphne from Philadelphia, bound to Antigua, mounting 14 guns, in which the captain was wounded and two men killed. She then struck. On the day following the brig was re-taken by U. States ship Congress, in sight of the privateer, to whom she afterwards gave chase for 30 hours and would probably have captured her had she not been enabled to get into port by throwing her guns overboard.

PHILADELPHIA, February 24.
Extract from an Antigua paper of the 3d instant.
By a letter from St. Thomas, of the 26th ult. we learn that general Toussaint Louverture, with a very considerable force collected from Aux Cayes, Cape-Francois &c. which was rapidly advancing against the city of Spanish St. Domingo; the Spaniards had made an unsuccessful sortie upon the advanced party of the hostile army. Women and children were flying to Porto-Rico and St. Thomas, in immense numbers, from that city. An English frigate had thrown into Aux Cayes for gen. Toussaint, 40,000lb. of gun-powder, with arms &c. and it is said that the frigate (as far as possible) keeps close to the shore of the scene of action.
NORFOLK, February 18.
Arrived brig Brothers, capt. Brown, 21 days from Fort Liberty (near Cape Francois) in distress, having sprung both
masts, and very leaky, while on her passage from that place to New-York. On the 9th instant, in lat. 31, 40. long. 79. spoke the brig James, M'Gill, from London to Charleston, out 84 days.
February 20.
Arrived, brig Mary, capt. Ham, (of Portland) 76 days from Plymouth, (England) in distress for provisions, having been four times blown off the coast.
On the 4th instant, in lat. 35 long. 61, 30, fell in with the British ship Duke of Richmond, capt. Proctor, from the Bay of Honduras bound to Bristol, in the greatest distress, and 7 feet water in her hold. Captain Ham staid by the ship until the 8th, during which time he made repeated exertions to save the people and procure provisions; but the gale was so dreadful that they were only able to save captain Proctor, a lady, three children and seven seamen; the remainder of the crew, 22 in number were unfortunately lost. The ship John, capt. P. Howland, of and bound to Charleston from Hamburg, also endeavoured to save the ship's crew, but without success.
The humane exertions of Captain Ham in rendering every possible assistance towards saving the crew, reflect the greatest honor on him; and captain Proctor embraces the earliest opportunity of returning his sincere and grateful thanks.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28.
On Thursday the House of Representatives were occupied in discussing the provisions of a bill providing for a NAVAL PEACE ESTABLISHMENT.
The bill as reported directed, that as soon as the differences with France shall be accommodated the President shall be authorised to sell all the national ships except twelve frigates, divesting previously of their guns (which were to be retained) all the vessels sold.
The parts printed in Italic were struck out, and an unqualified discretion vested in the President to sell when he shall think the measure expedient.
The second section directs that six of the frigates to be retained shall be kept in constant service in time of peace and shall be officered and manned as the President may direct; the residue of the frigates retained to be laid up.
The words in Italic were struck out.
The fourth section allows to all captains, masters, lieutenants, and midshipmen in service at the time of the reduction of the navy, half their annual pay for life.
This section was entirely struck out.
A new section empowering the President to retain such part of the marine corps as he shall see fit, was added.
On Friday the House of Representatives passed the bill so amended.

The Subscriber will SELL, or EXCHANGE for approved lands near the Blue-Ridge,
A valuable Tract of Land in Northumberland county, two miles from the court-house, and near the bank of the Potomac, containing 1163 acres. This tract is divided into two plantations, on the one there is a brick dwelling house 50 by 33 feet conveniently divided, and two brick offices, 24 by 16 feet. A framed house 20 by 16 feet designed for an overseer, and other out houses.
The conveniences of this place are equalled by few, and the prospect excelled by none in the state. The house is situated on a high hill and commands an extensive view of the Potomac and the Chesapeake bay. There is a creek abounding with the finest fish and oysters, which terminates the flat land of this tract, that is navigable for bay craft, and affords an excellent landing place within half a mile of the house. On this part of the tract there is an excellent bearing apple and peach orchard, and a variety of other fruit trees. It has a great sufficiency of oak and hickory timber, for the use of the plantation, besides a large quantity of pine.
On the other plantation there is a frame dwelling house 32 by 16 feet, and a few out houses, such as tenants generally have about them. This part of the tract is as well situated for farming as any lands in Virginia. It is well watered, has a sufficiency of timber for its support, and flourishing young peach and apple orchards.
As it is presumable that no person will make such a purchase without viewing the premises, all that is necessary to add is that Mr. Spencer Ball, living thereon, will shew the whole, and is fully authorised to make sale thereof.
