Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, September 3.
Were it not for the proportion of strength between the two parties, the appearances on the continent would leave but little doubt of the renewal of hostilities. Austria has an army of 30,000 men on the Inn, commanded by General Bellegarde, having under him Generals Meerfeldt, Strauch, and de Rohan. Reinforcements are daily arriving. Austria we suppose, seeing that Prussia occupied her indemnities, without waiting the sanction of the Diet, though they were said to be occupied provisionally, thought, and justly thought, that she was entitled to occupy the indemnities destined for the Grand Duke of Tuscany, provisionally also. On these grounds, she has taken possession of Salzburg, and other parts. The bishopric of Passau, she was endeavouring to obtain by negotiation (not at all satisfied with the extent of the indemnities destined for the Grand Duke); and thinking, perhaps, that she would succeed, or, at any rate, that she was entitled to it; seeing that Bavaria was on the point of seizing it; she has taken that bishopric provisionally likewise. It seems to us that when Prussia fell to at this feast of partition, the other powers were afraid their shares would be swallowed up.—Hence they would not wait for the diet to give grace; hence Bavaria began to cut and carve such parts as she understood were designed for her, and hence Austria displayed an equal appetite and eagerness. Austria, we are told, is fortifying Passau, removing her hospitals on the Inn, and making every preparation for battle. Bavaria has been told from Ratisbon that she must not proceed in occupying her indemnities till she has the sanction of the diet, and she halts. In the mean time, the conduct of Austria has been declared by the French and Russian ministers at Ratisbon to be a violation of the convention of the 4th of June, regulating the Indemnities, and agreed to by Russia and France, but apparently not sanctioned by the court of Vienna. Indeed, it is evident that court has not at all concurred in the proposed project for adjusting the affairs of Germany. Austria expects, and reasonably expects, that the duke of Tuscany will be raised to the electoral dignity as elector of Salzburg; but no such measures are noticed in the plan Bonaparte has submitted to his Senate.
French troops are daily arriving on the Rhine, where above 40,000 are assembled and all the new conscripts are to march thither to be trained. Bonaparte will have the gratification of disciplining an army, even should there be no immediate occasion for their services. The Austrians on the Inn, the French on the Rhine the diet's delay beyond that time, at liberty to help themselves to their proffered indemnities all these circumstances would give strong ground, for apprehending another war, but for the reasons we have already given.
Every arrival from France brings an account of some new step towards universal power taken by Bonaparte, and we shall not cease to point them out, notwithstanding the displeasure of his consular majesty. The French minister, in presenting his powers at Ratisbon, gave in a French copy, but no Latin copy, as has been usual. In this manner, by adopting the French in preference to all other languages, Bonaparte aims at powers with more truth, than superficial observers imagine. In proportion as the French language becomes predominant, so in proportion are the prejudices against French domination effaced. That domination is already assumed over the Diet of Ratisbon. They are allowed only two months to agree to the plan of indemnities; and it does not appear that they have the power of rejecting or amending.
We observe that a great number of the most fashionable parties of Paris, are married at the church de la Conception. There is something very suspicious in the name.
The Dutch government has issued a long proclamation to the people, recommending them to forget and forgive and to concur, under the new administration, in promoting the general prosperity. The resignation by the Stadholder of all his pretensions is considered as favorable, (in dispersing his partisans) to the government, as they have no longer the hope of a change.
Extract of a private letter from Paris, September 2.
Many who have even suffered materially by the revolution, not choosing that the nation should retrograde, are highly dissatisfied with the consulship for life, and the recent changes in what is called the constitution. La Fayette, when he went to give his vote, wrote a kind of protest, the purport of which is as follows: 'Popular representation and the liberty of the press being suspended, I cannot give a vote on this question: were these privileges restored, I would vote, and it should be for Bonaparte.' When this was mentioned to the first consul, he is reported to have said. 'Tell La Fayette that if the liberty of the press was restored, neither he nor I would be three months in France.'
The first consul professes great respect for the voice of the majority of the people. It was because that voice was in its favour, that, according to himself he determined upon the re-establishment of religion. Arguing with Volney, who did not so strongly feel the necessity of this measure, he said 'I am for the large battalions; the majority of the French people with for religion, and they shall have one.' 'The majority of the French people with for Louis XVIII,' replied Volney. This observation, was not very agreeable, and Volney is no longer in favour. The majority of the French people, it is very certain, with for popular representation, and the liberty of the press. But the restoration of these privileges would not be attended with the appointment of Archbishops, Bishops, and Priests, to strengthen the hands of the government. On this question it is probable the first consul, will be disposed to side with the small battalions.
But justice requires that we should declare the body of the French people innocent of these pretensions, and ashamed of the state into which the nation has again fallen. They are sensible that they have been betrayed into the sacrifice of their liberties, by too great an enthusiasm for Bonaparte on the one hand, and a horror of anarchy on the other.
The daily addresses of the Moniteur , which will be handed down as a monument of unparalleled servility to future ages, cannot be considered as the voice of the French people. They proceed from the constituted authorities, and the army only. All the share which the people have in the transactions conducted in their name, is silent acquiescence. They have no channel left thro' which to utter an opposing voice. Every book which appears written in a sense contrary to that of the government, is immediately seized by the Police.
The delirium of ambition seems to have acquired its height. Almost every measure for a long time past has announced this truth. But if the measure of conviction were not full, look at the consulate for life, and the new constitution. Of all the articles which distinguish this visionary constitution, that which gives the first consul the power of life and death, (for that of pardoning is nothing less,) is the most complete anti-republican. In order to bring the exercise of this power, and the power itself, into reputation, we are shortly to have an exhibition, in which a number of young men convicted of the crime of Chauannerie are to receive pardons. For this purpose, an application is already made to the first consul, by the judges of the criminal tribunal of Rouen, who condemned them. One of the judges assigns as a motive of pardon, that one of the young men had saved his life during the time of terror."
LONDON.
The prohibition of goods being imported into France by way of transit, is of greater consequence than many people may be aware of at first light. All nations must come to England for sugar and coffee, which is the object of the French to prevent. Great part of Germany, all Switzerland, and other countries, receive their goods from England by way of France. The French are jealous of our trade, and with to force all nations to come to France for West India produce, by forbidding them to go-transit through France. We hope our government will see the consequence of this proceeding; for the French may, in the same manner, also forbid goods to go transit thro' Holland, which would be highly injurious; for the greatest exports to Holland belong to merchants in the interior of Germany; and forbidding the transit through Holland, the Germans will be forced to come to the Dutch and French markets, and the merchants in England will be ruined.
It appears, by a private letter received by the overland express from Bombay, that it was owing to Colonel Sutherland, that the conspirators against the life of Scindea were secured. On the scheme being made known to Scindea, he con-
cluded his safety to Colonel Sutherland, by whose activity the traitors were secured. [Sutherland was formerly a lieutenant in the English East India Company's service, and was forced to resign upon some imputations of cowardice. He entered into the service of Scindea, and has risen by his valor and merit to the chief command of all the troops disciplined in the European manner—he is about 40 years.]
A letter received from Bengal says, 'It appears from a manuscript found in Seringapatam, that the throne belonging to the late Sultan, which has been sent to England, was begun about the period of Tippoo's expedition against the Nairs in 1778. A little before his march against the rajah of Travancore, in 1789, the sultan issued orders throughout his territories, that, intending to mount his throne all persons who were about to be married might repair to Seringapatam, and would have the marriage expenses defrayed by government. Accordingly ten thousand repaired to the capital, but were so terrified by a report that the sultan had resolved to make M'homedans of the Hindoos, that they all fled from the danger. Defeated at the Trevancore line, Tippoo dropped his intention of ascending the throne, and some time afterwards made a vow never to use it until he had recovered the provinces ceded to the English by the treaty of Seringapatam, in the year 1792.'
Present Prices.
In 1799, consols were 63½ Consols 68½ India, 198 India, 203 Bank, 156 Bank, 183
So that consols have risen 5 per cent. India only 5, and Bank 27. This seems the more surprising, as it is well known, that by the late treaty with the nabob of Oude, nearly two millions per annum are added to the territorial revenue of the company; and the relative value of India stock, compared to consols in point of interest, is 236. per cent.
It puzzles the natural philosophers to account for a woman's having an irresistible passion for setting houses on fire, but that men should entertain an invincible propensity to burn cities and depopulate provinces, does not appear at all extraordinary, so familiar are we become with this phenomenon!
A private letter received from Bengal, dated in March last, informs us that the collections of salt and opium have been very great, and have produced considerable higher prices than heretofore known in any year. Since the year 1799, great improvements have taken place.
We understand from Barbary, that Tippoo Sultan had determined, in case he had forced the British troops from the lines before Seringapatam, to take refuge in Chittledroog, where there is a palace and a great number of magazines of provisions and military stores, tanks of fine water, &c. from which place, in consequence of its natural and artificial strength we should have found it nearly impossible to dislodge him. This place cost Hyder a seven years siege, and did only then fall into his hands by treachery.
We might cite several instances from history to shew in what manner the great men of antiquity regarded the freedom of public opinion. The various characters of Alexander the Great, Julius Cæsar, and even Tiberius, concur upon this subject, though they meet from very different points. The Macedonian thought that it was to be conquered by his great actions; the first Roman emperor by clemency and conciliation, and the third by setting it at his defiance.
But there is something infinitely sublime in the advice of Diogenes to one who consulted him upon the means of revenging himself upon some who had spoken scandal of him—'Let them be the cause of your becoming irreproachable, (said the philosopher.) If they are your enemies, they will never forgive themselves for having made you a better man.'

A new method of bleaching cotton-thread and hosiery has been adopted in Swabia. The operation is performed in two days, and does not require extensive premises. An alkalizate caustic ley is prepared by taking two measures of quicklime, and covering them with two measures of good ashes; the heap is then to be sprinkled with water, and when the lime is slacked & the mass cooled it is fit for making the leys by the addition of cold soft water. The skeins of cotton being un-

twined and tied in parcels, are to be im- mersed in the ley, in which they are to be left six hours and to be occasionally turn- ed; they are then to be washed in a river, and afterwards boiled twelve hours in a bath of the same kind of ley, in which, for every sixty six pounds of cotton thread, six pounds soap have been dissolved; they are then to be boiled the same length of time in a solution of soap and water only, according to the former proportion; after which they are again to be washed in the river and hung up in the air, or laid on the grass, to dry as quickly as possible. The process for the hosiery is similar. The boiler must be made of copper, and always well cleaned after it has been used.
Extract from a translation of an Oration, delivered at the funeral obsequies of the late Pope Pius VI. by the Archbishop of Nisibis.
Speaking of the commencement of the French Revolution, the Orator in these animat- ed and correct terms, describes the ene- mies of Divine Revelation—
"This was a period, at which men of every class, wholly profligate and abandoned in their principles and pra- ctice, wantonly assumed the once honored name of philosophers, a name, which they now prostitute to the most criminal and ex- ecrable of all purposes; they laboured to delude the uninformed multitude by the vilest arts, and to mislead mankind from the road of virtue and duty. No means were left unattempted to eradicate from the minds of the faithful, the love of the Catholic religion, and their zealous at- tachment to its worship; nothing remain- ed untried, toasperse the clerical character, and to raise against the priest a load of envy, all the arts of persuasion were employed, to inculcate a belief that God never had an existence; that whatever had been said concerning the Deity and Religion, con- sisted of absurd and womanish tales, which a philosopher would be ashamed to admit; that the only hopes of safety, the only means of happiness depended on a convic- tion, that men were born with equal rights, and that no one, whether God or man was entitled to govern them; that this was the natural liberty of mankind, and that it was to be claimed and vindicated with the utmost energy. This was the purpose of those clandestine assemblies, formed by shameless and abandoned men, at stated times, and in stated places; this was the tendency, the object of innumerable pro- ductions, which issued from the lurking holes of impiety, to poison the minds of men, and which, to promote this nefarious plan, were recommended by all the blan- dishments of novelty, and all the seductive arts of eloquence; this was the real de- sign, the manifest view of this new Philo- sophy, which has diffused its phrenzy over all Europe."

Extract of a letter from a gentleman, da- ted Cape Francois, 1st October, to his friend in Philadelphia.
You never saw Sr. Domingo in such a situation as at present; this perhaps is the most critical moment it has ever ex- perienced—The affair of the Brigands is much more serious than I thought it would have been. We are literally shut up in the town, and it is probable we shall con- tinue in that situation until more soldiers and more money arrive.—The Brigands are burning close around us—all commu- nication with the country is stopped, and money growing scarce every day—No sale for dry goods of any description, not even the most favorite kind. Mar- kets dull."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Wilkes County, Georgia, to his friend in Martinsburgh, dated July 25, 1802.
Sir, "I have to inform you, that the com- missioners of Georgia have sold the Yazoo lands in the S. W. part of that state to Congress, for twelve hundred and fifty- thousand dollars, which has struck a dead- ly blow to the land speculators in this country. The governor of Georgia has convened the Legislature in order to rat- ify the sale, which met with but little opposition. Ever since the sale was con-
firmed, the speculators of Georgia and elsewhere, who overrun this state like the caterpillars of Egypt, begin now to hang down their heads like a bulrush or the weeping willow; their schemes are frustrated, their hearts are dejected, and a melancholy gloom is visible on their coun- tenance.
"I would also inform you that com- missioners were appointed to treat with the Creek Indians in June last, the object of which has been effected; about 1900 warriors came into Fort Wilkinson over the Occoee river, and then and there gave up to our people a large parcel of land which they called the Tallessey county, about sixty miles square, together with the forks of the Ocone and Oakmulge rivers, about twenty miles broad and sixty or seventy long, and an office it is expected will be opened next spring—The soldier's warrants will be first laid, and drawn by lottery for choice. The remainder of the land is expected to be laid off for bona- fide citizens, and those who wish to become citizens of this state will find it much to their profit. The emigration to this state for many years past has been very conside- rable—we have increased better than 50,000 citizens within the last ten years, and though trade is somewhat dull in all the states at this time, yet we have our share as well as our sister states. By re- ferring to the exports of the Union, you will find Georgia the fourth or fifth in exportation. There are near 150 stores in the town of Augusta.
Boats can go down to Savannah in six or seven days with 120 hogheads of to- bacco, and return in twenty days with 1500 bushels of salt, the distance being about two hundred and eighty miles by water, and by land one hundred and twen- ty. There are twelve Counties in Geor- gia above Augusta, in which twelve hun- dred Mechanics, of different branches, would meet with great encouragement."
THE MODEL OF A WISE RE- PUBLIC.
BEES, as from time immemorial, asso- ciate together, for mutual benefit, and live in republics. They are genuine prac- tical republicans, who evince their public and private virtues, not by noise and self-applause; but by their useful works. A people they are remarkable for their steady habits and plain sober manners; & for the republican virtues of industry, fru- gality and excellent economy. It is with them a standing law to punish idleness and dissipation, in individuals, with banish- ment from their commonwealth. They also bring up their offspring to habits of industry; and send them off to live by their own earnings and to form new co- lonies, whenever they are straitened for room, or their occupations are not needed at home. Such is their genuine patriot- ism, that they all diligently labour to pro- mote the public interest; and are never seen to pursue any selfish plans of indi- vidual monopoly. While they always unite, with a patriotic ardour & undaunted cou- rage, in defending their own republic, they prudently abstain from intermeddling with foreign politics.
Their government, like their customs and manners, has never been revolutiona- ry; for they have at this day the same political constitution, & the same general system of internal police, which they had, at the time of old Esop. This remarka- ble circumstance in their political history may perhaps, be owing in a great mea- sure, to the following causes:—Every one minding his own business, they have among them no noisy patriots, no ambi- tious demagogues, no constitution-menders, no visionary projectors of innovation; and in the mean time, they always keep in force a wholesome alien-law, and are very cautious of admitting foreigners, of a turbulent character, to the rights of citi- zenship. Ants are also good republicans; but inasmuch as they are republicans of another class, and are accustomed to a dif- ferent kind of police, the Bees would be extremely cautious of admitting them sud- denly to a full participation of their civil and municipal rights; much less would they be so infatuated as to employ an Ant, however capable, to guard and manage their national treasures.
When Men shall become as patriotic and as prudent as Bees, they also will be able to maintain a republican government, and to render it perpetual.
(Balance.)
There was a time when our nation had some morals which the candidates for pub- lic favour were obliged to respect, altho'
they happened to have none of their own. Hiring libellers to lie down good men's characters would not have been tolerated 20 years ago. Ambitious men, the most destitute of principles, would have thought it decent to act with a rather more careful reference to the sentiments of the decent and uncorrupted part of society. A sala- ry of 5 or 600 dollars to the editor of the National Gazette , a six thousand dollar job for the Aurora man, a far office for Bishop, presents and a pardon for Callen- der's Prospect before Us , a public invita- tion to the wretch Thomas Paine to come here, and the offer of a public ship to bring the creature here, to resume his useful la- bours , is too much for any American to bear, too much for any one to learn with- out disgust, except Fauchet, who may now triumph and say, I told you so. "What will the old age of this republic be, if it is thus early decrepid?"
(Palladium.)
SWEET SYMPATHETIC SENSIBILITY. —SO, Miss Hectic died this morn- ing of a consumption. She was no more than seventeen—a sweet girl.
Ah me! she is the dead! Poor thing.— What's trumps?
The man is dead, my dear, whom we employed to clear the mouth of the well behind our house, and which he fell into.
Is he? I thought he could not recover. Play a spade, madam.
There were upwards of four thousand killed in the last engagement. How ma- ny childless parents are now in sorrow!
Ah! how many indeed!— The odd trick is out's.
The captain is now reduced to such po- verty, that I am told it would be charity to send a joint of meat to his family.
That's hard.— I have not a heart, in- deed fir.
He fell on his head, and has been deliri- ous ever since, and the physicians have no hopes that he will ever recover the use of his reason.
Oh! I recollect, he rode against some- body— Play a spade, if you please.
The prospect to the poor this winter is dreadful indeed. There will be a power- ful appeal to the feelings of the rich.
Yes—one really gives so much in cha- rity— I'll bet you — on the game.
George, madam, George, I am sorry to say it, put an end to his life last Tues- day.
You don't say so! I had two honors in my own hand.
Yes; and as misfortunes never come a- lone his mother and sister are in a state of distraction.
Dear me! that's bad.— Single, double, and the rub.
The following sweet effusion of sensibility is copied from a London paper.
THE PILGRIM.
Drop by drop the Angel pours, Comfort every moment yours; Guards the night and cheers the day. Gently leading life away.
Every object, every thought, Sweetly seen, or kindly taught, Dropping in this simple heart, Unseen happiness impart.
Tho' the gloomy shades of night, Hide the hills, obscure the light, Cheerful HOPE with kindly ray, Drops of comfort still convey.
Safely flowing down the tide, E'en o'er ocean's bosom wide, Storms and tempests cease to fear, Drops of peace shall meet you there.
Then cease to flutter foolish FEAR, SORROW, DARKNESS, dwell not here; But LIGHT and COMFORT, drop by drop, Raise the hopeful spirits up.
Then banish DISCONTENT's sad pain, PIETY ne'er hoped in vain; Drop by drop the Angel pours, PEACE, with VIRTUE must be yours.
Scraps from London papers.
A French Democrat, who lately visited London, being asked by a quondam ac- quaintance, why he had not applied for a diplomatic situation to BONAPARTE— "the Child & Champion of Jacobinism," on his assumption of the reins of Govern- ment?—very candidly answered as fol- lows:—"When the Consul thrust himself into power, I did wait on him, and I ask- ed him to appoint me to the Embassy of America! He wished to know my claims. I replied, that I had headed the mob at
the taking of the Bastille; and . . . . . I was going to continue, when the self-in- stalled Consul interrupted me, saying, with a Sardonc smile—"You know that, on a former splendid occasion, the cackling of geese saved the Capitol and Rome, but you have never heard that a single goose was provided for by the then exiting Ma- gistrates of the first City in the World!"
The surprising change of dress among our belles of fashion is admirably calcu- lated to shew their patience; however, when ladies go half naked in Winter and wrap themselves up in furs in Summer , their lovers may be apt to ascribe it to a little of that last matrimonial seasoning called the spirit of contradiction .
A young man of the name of Neck was married last week in Devonshire to a Miss Heels . They are now tied Neck and Heels .
A certain delirious man went to meet- ing on a Sunday, & peaceably seated him- self. In sermon time looking around the meeting house, observing some of the congregation sleeping, and being acci- dental armed with a pocket full of rotten apples, he drew them forth one by one, and taking good aim, let them fly slap in the faces of the sleeping christians. This was repeated several times, to the no small diversion of the audience. But the parson observing his conduct, desired the people to 'take care of that crazy man,' who instantly replied, "Do you mind your preaching, & I'll keep the dogs awake."
