REVIEW OF EUROPEAN EVENTS.
MAY 4. AFTER the peace with Naples, Gen. Murat sent home all the Roman and Neapolitan patriots who had taken refuge in his camp. He issued a proclamation to them as a memento for their gratitude to France, who had made it a point to stipulate with their governments that they should be allowed to return home, and should not be molested:—But he shrewdly hints to them, that, after getting home, they must engage in NO MORE dangerous undertakings, which might prove ruinous to themselves and their country.—Learn, (says he), from the example of France, what revolutions cost. Heaven does not always bless a country with a man like BONAPARTE, to snatch them from destruction, and put an end to the shedding of blood." It is curious to remark, how the men, who are employed in the present government of France, are gradually drawing towards the sentiment of abhorrence against the revolution. How hard they struggle against the confession, and yet how often they slide into it against their will. How they shuffle between the stings of conviction and the horns of apocrypha. How they stand vibrating between the backward look, to times when a doubt against Jacobin doctrines was political heresy, and the forward look, to times when a doubt in their favour will be the same. Time-serving souls! They dare not avow the most honest and honourable opinion, until they have ascertained whether it is popular; and even when they hit upon it, you see by their anxious labour to unnerve it by some false for folly, that they value truth itself only, inasmuch as it bears resemblance to falsehood.
6.—The Vienna Court Gazette contains an order from the Emperor to the heads of all the civil officers at his court, commanding them to require a declaration by oath of every person employed in the respective offices, that he belongs to no secret society or fraternity, either within the Austrian dominions or in a foreign country, or if he does, that he will immediately renounce forever such society. This oath is annually to be renewed, and every person who refuses to take it is to be dismissed instantly from his office. The motives alleged for this order, are, that secret societies have been proved, by experience, one of the principal sources whence the most pernicious principles have been spread, true religion undermined, morality if not wholly destroyed, at least, very much perverted, party spirit, by every possible artifice inflamed to the highest degree, and even the peace and happiness of domestic life overthrown.
6.—The Austrian monarchy, even in its present state of declension and defeat, remains one of the great powers of Europe and if its moral powers were equal to its physical resources, would still be an adequate balance for France. By the opinion of those who have a nearer view of it than I can have, its greatest want, is a want of men—not of people, nor of soldiers; but of men, capable of conducting a great empire. This deficiency prevails in a deplorable degree. It results principally from the nature of the government and the spirit of the reigning religion. The first checks all enterprize, and the second stifles all enquiry. In such a state of things how should men be formed either for action or for mediation?
The late prime minister Thugut, was a man of great address, of wit, of genius; but without application, without principle and without heart. The want of these qualities left him blind, where a child ought to have seen, and sunk him where lead would have swam. The Archduke Charles, recalled to save his country and his house, when human power could save them only at the expence of shame and diminishment, suffered perhaps personal resentments to have too great influence over him, or considered his own power as precarious so long as Thugut was not formally disgraced. This was effected, and the Archduke placed with unlimited authority at the head of the military department. But his constitution is so feeble and infirm that it cannot stand the toils of such an office, and twice within these three months he has been dangerously ill. The last time, in the first days of this month, at such an extremity as to receive the sacraments of the Church. He has, however, for this time escaped. Great events may depend upon his life; but his life depends upon a straw.
7. By virtue of a Convention between Prince Charles of Hesse Cassel, as commander in chief of the Danish troops at Hamburg, Sir James Crauford, the English, and Mr. Schultz, the Prussian Minister there, it was agreed, that the neutrality of the Elbe should, from this day, be completely restored; that ships of all nations and under all colours, might come and go without impediment or disturbance; that in case hostilities between England and Denmark should be renewed, the return of all vessels which should come upon the faith of the Convention, should be secured, and no embargo or sequestration should be laid upon English property. And on the other hand Sir James Crauford engaged to deliver passports for the Danish vessels bound from the ports of the Elbe, to Greenland and Norway, which should secure them from capture by English ships of war and cruizers.
8. An ordinance of the King of Sweden, was published, by which the exportation and importation of all permitted articles in foreign vessels (excepting English) is allowed upon the same terms as in Swedish vessels. Three months notice is to be given when the difference, always made in time of peace, should be re-established: This is one of the first consequences of Sweden's accession to the armed neutrality. Instead of being the carrier of other nations, she must now call upon others to be carriers for her.
Sir Hyde Parker having returned to England, the command of the English fleet in the Baltic remains with Lord Nelson. A misunderstanding between these two commanders took place on the 2d of April, and government has pronounced in Nelson's favour. The cause was the armistice, which Nelson was averse to concluding, and which the British ministry disapproved, though they acquiesced in it. Nelson this day sent a flag with a letter to the Swedish admiral, Cronstedt, at Carlscrona, informing him, that the free navigation of Swedish vessels in the Baltic, which his predecessor had engaged to allow, did not extend to the Swedish fleet, and if that should appear at sea, he was not ordered to abstain from hostilities. Admiral Cronstedt answered him, that the King was already gone to Stockholm, and that he had immediately forwarded Nelson's letter thither. The King arrived at Stockholm the 10th. The check upon the Swedish fleet's going out is said to have produced a great sensation at that capital; but out it will hardly venture after this warning. The precaution was necessary to prevent a junction between the Swedish and Russian or Danish fleets, and to preserve the advantageous position under which the English admiral agreed to the armistice. For the same purpose a reinforcement of five ships of the line and two frigates has been sent, under the command of Admiral Toty, to join the Baltic fleet, and on the 9th inst. they passed the Sound.
12.—The American sloop of war Maryland, arrived at Havre, having on board Mr. Dawson, who brought with him the convention, and a commission and instructions to Messieurs Elifworth and Murray, jointly or severally, to negotiate the alterations desired by the American senate. Mr. Dawson in the channel, dispatched a letter to London, for Mr. Elifworth, informing him of these circumstances, and requesting him to come to Paris, where he would deliver him the commission and instructions. But Mr. Elifworth had failed in the beginning of April for the United States. Arrived at Havre, Mr. Dawson wrote a letter to Mr. Murray, similar to that which he had sent to Mr. Elifworth. Mr. Murray answered him, that upon the mere letter of a stranger, without a line from his government, he could not quit his post. I suppose Mr. Dawson finally sent him the commission. The French newspapers have converted Mr. Dawson himself into an American Minister. One of them says, that Mr. Dawson, the new Envoy Extraordinary from the United States of America, had, in company with Gen. Kosciusko, paid a visit to Thomas Paine, and delivered him a very affectionate letter from Mr. Jefferson, inviting him to return to America, and offering him the use of a public vessel for his passage.
15.—Lord St. Helen's, appointed by the English Government to go and compliment the new Emperor of Russia upon his accession, landed this day at Copenhagen from the frigate in which he was going to St. Petersburg; he had a conference with the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Bernstorff, and the next day
proceeded upon his voyage. Immediately after this, Count Bernstorff himself was appointed to go as ambassador Extraordinary to England. In addition to all the forcible inducements which already operated upon Denmark to seek an amicably adjustment of differences with England, the accounts of the Danish islands in the West Indies having been taken by the English, have just arrived to strengthen her in this disposition.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 21.
Yesterday arrived here in a short passage from Malaga via Gibraltar, the ship Aurea, capt. Paine; who has obligingly favored the editors of the New-York Gazette with Gibraltar papers to the 31st of July, inclusive. We now give the most interesting news from them, reserving, till to-morrow, the articles of less importance.
Capt. Paine informs us, that on the 8th of August, the day he arrived at Gibraltar, the seamen belonging to the Tripolitan cruizers mutinied, and deserted their ships, for want of provisions, and about 150 had landed, when the Governor stoped them, and sent them on board a Moorish vessel; in which the best part of the two ship's crews departed for Tituan; the governor of which place had promised to supply them with food. Thus situated, continues capt. Paine, is the Scots renegado, commander of the Tripolitan fleet, that he has entirely dismantled the brig of 18 guns, and has only about 40 men, exclusive of officers, on board his own ship, which mounts 28 guns. It is supposed at Gibraltar, from this circumstance, that he will not dare to return to Tripoli, but that he will dispose of the vessels he has with him, bid adieu to Mahomet, and turn Christian again.
On the 6th of August, the day capt. P. left Malaga, he was boarded by the U. S. frigate Philadelphia, S. Barron, esq. commander, who was waiting for the Tripolitan cruizers to come out of Gibraltar.—They were well and in high spirits, expecting, ere long, to make prize of those Barbarians.
GIBRALTAR, JULY 31.
INTELLIGENCE FROM EGYPT. This morning arrived his Majesty's brig of war Spider, in 43 days from Alexandria.
At the time of the Spider's leaving Alexandria, [the 18th June] that garrison still held out—But Gen. Hutchinson and about 8000 troops in high health and spirits, and abundantly supplied, were within about 12 miles of Cairo, which place is probably now in his power, as the General had with him about 30,000 Turks, & a large body of Mamelukes, who had joined the British forces. With this army General Hutchinson was making arrangements for the complete investing of the French force at Cairo, amounting to 7000 men. Only a part of the Bombay army had arrived at Suez, and joined Sir John Hutchinson; the remainder having been delayed in their navigation up the Red Sea, (where the Forte frigate, used as a victualling transport, was unfortunately cast away) would not be at their destination till July. The four regiments which we mentioned in a former Chronicle to have passed Gibraltar in the line of battle ships, have arrived lately in Egypt.
Gantheume's squadron, consisting of 3 line of battle ships, 2 frigates, and some transports, with a reinforcement of troops for Menou's army had arrived on the coast of Africa, to the westward of Egypt, but finding it impracticable to put the troops on shore, on account of a high surf, the squadron had returned to the coast of Italy.—The British cruizers had captured 4 or 5 of the transports, with troops, doctors, and stores. On board one of them, was a company of singers, dancers, and comedians, sent by the first consul, for the recreation of his Egyptian army.
A detachment of the British army under the command of B. Gen. Doyle, had intercepted and taken prisoners, a body of Menou's army, on their march, through the desert, from Alexandria to Cairo, consisting of 500 of their very best troops, 140 horses, and 550 camels.
Damietta had been evacuated by its garrison, who (600 in number) embarked at Burlos, with a view of either getting into Alexandria, or reaching France; the whole of these were captured; and, in one week 1400 French prisoners were taken by the British forces, without the loss of one man.
The whole of Sir James Saumarez's squadron is completely repaired, and either at, or ready for sea, including the St.
Antoine, (captured ship) whose officers and men were entirely French, though claf-fied by admiral Moreno as a Spanish ship.
A gentleman, who arrived in the Africa, informs, that the English frigate Penelope, in 31 days from Alexandria, arrived at Gibraltar two days before he sailed, one of the officers of which told him, that Gantheume had landed part of his troops about 80 leagues from Alexandria; that the French in an engagement with the Mamelukes, had been victorious; that Alexandria still held out; and, that the situation of the English in Egypt was not so favorable as it had been. The above frigate was going home with dispatches.
[This news, though much later than the account from the Gibraltar paper in this day's Gazette, does not appear so well authenticated.] N. Y. G.

September 22.
FROM GUADALOUPE.
A letter to a respectable mercantile house in this city, dated, Basseterre the 26th of August, mentions, the discovery of an alarming plot by the blacks of that island, in the following words:—"A most infernal plot has been discovered—the ringleaders had in view either to assassinate gen. Lacrosse on his way here from Point Petre, or to force him to embark for France. Fifteen mulattoes have been shot and many people of colour have been arrested. Measures have been taken to insure the tranquility of the island."

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25.
Married last evening, Mr. CURTIS GRUB, of Berkley county, to Miss SA- RAH TOMLINSON, of this place.
The following gentlemen were duly chosen Senators of the state of Maryland, at an election for that purpose, held at Anna- polis, on Monday last:
WESTERN SHORE. Democratic. Richard Mackall, Walter Bowie, John Johnston, Richard Harwood, William Smith, Jamee H. M'Culloch, John T. Worthington, Samuel Ringgold, John Tyler.
EASTERN SHORE. Henry Hollingsworth, Robert Wright, William Whirely, William Poik, Willi- am Hayward, James Brown.
Extract of a letter from London dated Ju- ly 30.
"Flour has fallen, within a few days, 20s. a barrel. The fall was so rapid and unexpected, that many neglected to com- ply with the regulations of the act, and in consequence are excluded from the bene- fits of the bounty. It is supposed that more than six months consumption of for- eign grain and flour are now on hand in this kingdom."
Some idea may be formed of the im- mense slaughter in the Austrian army, in the course of the late war. The regiment of the Emperor's dragoons received 1000 recruits, although it only consists of 3800 men; and the regiment of Colloredo has only two men of the whole number who served in 1791.
In consequence of the increased duty upon paper, in England, the booksellers there have been obliged to abandon their design of reprinting a new and complete edition of the British Poets. The new duty upon paper, so far from increasing the revenue, threatens to destroy the con- sumption almost altogether. All literary projects which were not far advanced, are necessarily laid aside, and the stagnation in this branch of business begins already to be severely felt.
From the Balance. MONEY is like water—and it is as
much impossible that the one should be equally distributed among mankind, as the other should be spread alike over high and low land. We well know that rains fall without any discrimination on every kind of soil; but we also know, that some, from their peculiar situations, are more capable of retaining it than others. Water, by force or labor, may be carried to the top of a mountain—but, leave it to itself, and it will soon find its way into the valley again.
Philosophers and theorists have never been able to discover any method by which water can be made to creep up hill of its own accord—and, perhaps, they never will. If they should, however, it will happen at the identical time when money is equally distributed, and alike retained among all classes of mankind. It will be well if neither of these things ever happen. We should be dismayed to see the Atlan- tic discharging itself, and pouring its wa- ters over the whole of the western conti- nent. We should shudder to behold the current of Hudson river rushing impetu- ously to the summit of the Catskil moun- tains: And we should laugh, if we were not too much surprised, to see the water leaving our cisterns, to find its way back to the roofs of our houses. Just as much, perhaps, would moderate and rational men be shocked, to see our banks demolished, and their contents scattered amongst the multitude—to see miser's chests unlocked, and their rusty dollats bustled into the hats of a thousand pilferers—and to see every prudent man's pocket turned wrong side out, and unladen by Newgate and State- prison convicts.
An equal distribution of property and power can never take place in the world, until all mankind are precisely alike in capacity and disposition. This will never be—and, if it should, such a state of things would resemble a boundless plain of land, overflowed with stagnant water—a trackless waste, without variety—an uninteresting void—or a sea without a shore.
TOUCHSTONE.
POLITICAL CATECHISM. Extracted by Petronius from the records of the Assembly of Democrats, at Wash- ington.
Question. What is the chief end of mo- dern Republicanism?
Ans. To get into office.
Quest. What rule has your guides giv- en for your direction?
Ans. To rail against the former admi- nistration, the British treaty, public debt, and public expenses.
Quest. Is that all which is required of you?
Ans. No—it is further required that we call Federalists and those who fought the battles of their country, British agents, tories, &c.
Quest. What do you understand by liberty?
Ans. By liberty I understand licentious- ness, or an inherent right in man to act according to the dictates of his own will.
Quest. What are dictates?
Ans. Dictates are laws, which man set up in his mind, for his self government.
Quest. Is there no other government necessary for man's happiness, independ- ent of what he wills?
Ans. None necessary, but some arbitra- rily adopted even in republics, that is merely to create office, for those incapable of labour.
Quest. Is it consistent with the Age of Reason, to pay people for what is unne- cessary?
Ans. No! it is not consistent with rea- son, for that is aristocratical; but it is consistent with republicanism, if those put in office are true republicans.
Quest. As man is a free agent and can act as well independently, as by association, ought not his consent to be obtained, be- fore we take his property?
Ans. Not if he is educated upon aristo- cratic principles—for although I allow man to be a free agent—yet necessity knows no law—and the end sanctifies the means. [Boston pap.]
TRAITS OF LIFE.
THE BUTTERFLY AND THE BEAU. "WHAT a gay insect is this little but- terfly"—said Miss Sedate to Miss Mirth- ley, as they were walking in the garden. "He's gay, but he's good for nothing," replied Miss Mirthley, laughing—"He's precisely like the beaux." "See," said Miss Sedate, "how he wheels and dips about from flower to flower, without stop- ping, like the industrious bee, to collect their sweets."—"An exact emblem of
the beaux," replied Miss Mirthley— "you may see them on a Sunday afternoon, or a summer's evening, fluttering around every young lady in town,—never halt- ing, like the youth of understanding, to derive any real advantage from the inter- nal charms of the sex; but flauntingly skimming about—stealing a glance from one—snatching a kiss from another, and then passing on to the next and the next, till all his acquaintances have been amused with his nonsense, or disgusted with his impudence."—"But you know, Miss Mirthley," said Miss Sedate, smiling, "that this same butterfly, a few weeks ago, was one of the meanest of grubs—a little worm, encompassed in a shell."—"That completes the resemblance," cried Miss Mirthley, with a triumphant laugh, "the beau has been as much a grub as a butterfly."
When he was a boy, he was despised for his dullness and stupidity; and his uncouth and clownish behavior rendered him the laughing-stock and derision of his mates. But, after grovelling in his shell for a sea- son, he bursts forth—an ignorant, impu- dent, conceited, fluttering, fantastical beau. His neck swaddled with an enor- mous pudding—his hair reduced to a rat's-tail, and plastered with pomatum and powder—and his legs lost in a pair of al- most boundless boots—he sallies out to e- mulate the butter-fly.

SONNET.—TO SEPARATION.
THOU ill, replete with many a bitter pang, Once more thy victim, lonely I repine; And doom'd to bear thy bosom torturing fang, As unsury for bliss so lately mine. Ah what avails! that dearest friends should meet, Since it revives thy more than mur- d'rous pow'r; E'en while we listen to their converse sweet, A thought of thee, obscures the halcyon hour. To feeling hearts thou wilt remain a foe, While time exists, for thy delight's in tears; And that the bosom may consume with woe, Oft makes a day appear a term of years. But if, for me, thou'lt other pangs in store, Be quick—for soon my heart will feel no more.

50 Dollars Reward. STRAYED or stolen from the subscriber's pasture, (near the seat of the late Mr. Madin, and about 4 miles from this town) on Thursday night, the 10th instant, two GELDINGS , one of them a bright bay, about 15 hands high, has a hanging main and switch tail, a star and small blaze or snip down to or near his nose, branded on one of his thighs, but which is not recollected, thus, O.; he trots well and very easy in a slow traveling gait, and was shod before.

NEGROES and LANDS FOR SALE. I wish to sell a number of very valuable Negroes, among whom are a good waggoner, shoemaker, house-maid, &c. None more capable servants are to be met with! I will give a short credit upon them, assured of punctual payment. I have about 600 acres of land lying along the Ohio, about 8 or 9 miles below Line-stone: 200 between the town of Washington and May's Lick, in Mason county, and several tracts in the interior counties in Kentucky, for sale, or to exchange for property in this or the state of Maryland. The first of these is nearly all bottom the second lies well for cultivation, is in an excellent neighborhood, well timbered, with good never failing water, and both have a delightful range for stock, particularly hogs. The titles are indisputable. A good bargain may be had of those and other lands in that state! I have also for sale, a share in the Potomac Company, and a small annuity in the town of Alexandria. A good waggon and team, and good brood mare, with a colt, and in foal. Apply to me near Centerville. VAL. PEERS. N. B. I should prefer disposing of the Negroes in or near Alexandria, as may be.

Baltimore, 1801. PROPOSALS, By Warner & Hanna, For publishing by Subscription, Six Volumes of SELECT PLAYS, To be entitled, The American Theatre.
CONDITIONS.  1. The whole set will be printed in a handsome duodecimo size, on a superfine wove paper, and new type, made purposely for the work.  2. The price to subscribers, neatly bound and lettered, will be one dollar per volume—to non-subscribers one dollar and seventy-five cents.  3. No money required until the delivery of each volume, and at the completion of the whole a list of its patrons will be given.  4. The first volume will consist of the following much admired plays— Castle Spectre, Heir at Law, the Stranger, and Secrets Worth Knowing.  5. The publishers pledge themselves to be particular in their selection, by giving place to such plays as are publicly and justly admired for purity of sentiment, and elegance of diction; and no expense withheld in rendering the work for beauty equal to any in America.  When it is considered that the American public have never as yet been put in possession, from a press in this country, of a set of well selected and approved plays, capable of producing much rational sentiment, chaste wit, and good humor, so well calculated to inculcate morality, amuse, recreate and animate the mind—the publishers flatter themselves their exertions will meet with encouragement. Subscriptions are received at the office of the ALEXANDRIA ADVERTISER.

SALT. 10,000 bushels of coarse SALT, For Sale by JOSEPH RIDDLE and Co. Sept. 9. eo
The Subscriber will SELL, or EXCHANGE for approved land 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 farm-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. JAMES V. BALL. N. B. Any person purchasing may be supplied with stock of all kinds necessary and sufficient for the plantation.

This day is published, (In a neat pocket volume handsomely printed—price 66 2/3 cents) By JOHN V. THOMAS, And sold by him at his Book-store, near the Coffee-House, The Black Valley, A ROMANTIC TALE, Translated from the German. THIS tale is written in a manner at once simple, entertaining and highly interesting. The characters are strongly marked—The passions are expressed with vehemence—that of Love in particular, with gay but not indecent luxuriance. One of the English reviews, in noticing this little work, says it is "related with much animation, and embellished with decorations of style; and the translator has displayed great ability and uncommon command of language—I would, therefore, recommend the performance to the attention of every class of readers, with a promise of not a little amusement, and much elegant improvement." N. P. The above publication may likewise be had of the different booksellers in town. Sept. 21. eo2w
