Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, April 18.
Several persons including two American ladies, and an English gentleman arrived on Saturday from the continent; some of them left Paris, subsequent to the execution of the Duke of Enghien. According to their report, the unfortunate Prince requested three favors after his condemnation. One was that he might be attended by a priest, which was refused; the second, that a lock of his hair might be sent to a person whom he should name, which was granted; and thirdly, that he might be allowed to give the word of command to the soldiers who were to shoot him, which was refused. As we have already stated, he was shot by a party of Italian Guards. The consternation which this bloody deed has excited abroad, is nothing in comparison with that which it has produced in Paris. The reign of terror was never so potent and Universal. None but spies are safe: and consequently every man to avoid denunciation, is obliged to become a spy. The most intimate friends are afraid to speak to each other: all is terror, silence, and suspicion. The infamous author of these horrors has withdrawn to Malmaison. All parties have reproached him with this act of wanton cruelty. Even Fouche has remonstrated against it as an impolitic deed. The monster in his justification, says, he did it only to gratify the republican party in the armies. He has appeared once since, at the theatre: but the moment he entered, half the audience withdrew. This so much enraged him on his return to Malmaison, that he ordered seven of the persons arrested at Ettenheim to be shot at midnight. In the number of these unhappy victims, was the baroness de Reich, a lady of 67 years of age. It is reckoned that upon the whole surface of the French territory, no fewer than two millions of persons, amounting to one sixteenth of its whole population have been arrested: a greater proportion of whom still remain in prison. Madame Recamier has been a whole day in confinement, in the house of the Grand Judge. Speaking of Pichegru, in a circle of five or six friends, she said, if she was in Paris, she should know it immediately. This was reported by one of the company, to the police, and a gens d'armes was sent to take her into custody. She was carried before Reignier, and interrogated as to the means by which she expected to acquire this information. To this she answered, that she had no particular means, and only presumed upon the great resort of company to her house. After a long examination, she was released on account of the great services of M. Recamier to the state in the financial way. Germany is covered with spies and brigands in the employment of Bonaparte. One of the gentlemen who arrived on Sunday from Stuttgart, says at his departure Mr. Spencer Smith was preparing to leave that city upon his return to England. The elector of Baden is deeply afflicted at the execution of the Duke of Enghien. He has never since appeared in public. A band of Frenchies, amounting to upwards of fifty, have been sent to the vicinity of Warsaw for the purpose it is supposed, of carrying off Louis the XVII. and the Duke of Anguleme. The mission of Generals Duroc and Rapp, to Berlin, is probably connected with some design of the usurper upon the lives of those unfortunate princes. General Augereau is said to be the first who gave the intelligence of the plot of Pichegru. He had been consulted upon it but took time to consider. Meanwhile he heard of the arrest of Quenelle, and that the latter was to make some important discoveries. Augereau, alarmed at this account, immediately set off for Paris, and divulged all he knew to Bonaparte. The answers of all the accused persons upon their several private examinations are said to be firm, manly and energetic, particularly those of the young Polignac, who has been calumniated in a London print, as guilty of a contrary conduct. Georges like another Quintus Curtius, says he has been resolved these ten years past to devote his life for the good of his country, and will die happy in the confidence that he will leave behind him six hundred equally resolved to perish or destroy the tyrant. A private letter from Paris of the 2d ult. adds—
Our prisons are now so crowded with civil prisoners, and that several hotels of emigrants, that served during Robespierre's reign as houses of arrest, are again employed for the same use. Among other tyrannical proceedings the police agents arrested, yesterday every person dressed in mourning, walking in the streets; and I have heard this day, from a senator, that every one in mourning, who cannot prove that it is for some near relative, is to be transported.
ed. Last Friday, Chevalier De Bourdeaux and his family were carried to the Rhine, and are prohibited, under pain of death, to return to France. Their crime was the supposed mourning for the Duke of Enghien. Notwithstanding these cruel acts of despotism, I can assure you mourning has increased, particularly among the ladies, who, you know, have at all times during the revolution shown the most character and courage. I have just left the Thuillery Garden, and the Elysean Fields; these two beautiful walks were crowded with females, and of five hundred, I am sure not fifty were dressed otherwise than in black, or with some ribbon or crape on their bonnets, &c. indicative of mourning, though they all knew what happened yesterday, and that two millions of the Palais Royal were in prison for selling mourning fans, on which were painted an altar, containing the busts of Louis XVI. of his Queen, of Madame Elizabeth, of Louis XVII. and of the Duke of Enghien, with small portraits of Robespierre and Bonaparte visible, with the motto Fraternité . The fans, which originally sold for half a crown, now bring a louis d'or, and are to be had, though the police is upon the continual look out to prevent it. All letters sealed with black sealing wax or wafers have been stopped, and caused many imprisonments both here and in the provinces.
Bonaparte is yet at Malmaison, guarded by his Italians and his Mamelukes; but every hour, night and day, reports are sent to him respecting the tranquility of this city, in which great discontent prevails, particularly in the suburbs, St. Antoine, and Marceau.
THE DUKE DE ENGHIEU.
Letter from Talleyrand to Baron Edlestein, Minister of State to the Elector of Baden.
March 12.
"Monsieur Le Baron,
"I had transmitted to you a note purporting to demand the arrest of the committee of French emigrants, sitting at Offenburg when the First Consul by the successive arrest of the banditti, whom the English government has sent into France, as well as by the progress and result of the prosecutions instituted here, obtain information of the share which the English agents at Offenburg had in the terrible plot hatching against his person and the safety of France. He has also been informed that the Duke D'Enghien and General Dumoulier are at Ettenheim. It being impossible they should be in that town without his Electoral Highness's leave, the First Consul could not see, without the deepest regret, that a Prince, to whom he has vouchsafed to shew the most conspicuous effect of his friendship, could grant an asylum to his most cruel enemies, and quietly let them hatch such unheard of conspiracies.
"On this extraordinary occasion, the First Consul has thought proper to order two small detachments to repair to Offenburg and Ettenheim there to seize the plotters of a crime, which from its nature put all those who have been convicted of the same out of the law of nations. General Cautincourt has been charged with the first Consul's orders for the purpose. You cannot doubt but he will when executing the same, shew every regard which his Highness may desire. He will have the honour to hand to your Excellency this letter, which I am charged to write to you. Receive Mons. le Baron, the assurance of my highest respect.
"CH. M. TALLEYRAND."
The French Princes.
His Royal Highness Monsieur, brother to the King of France, was the only one of the French Princes who received information by the Hamburg Mail of Tuesday last concerning the melancholy fate of his relative, the late duke of Enghien. With agonized feelings he went in the evening to Wanstead house to communicate the bad tidings. He was met at the door by the Duke of Bourbon, who perceiving grief and sorrow marked on every feature, immediately anticipated the cruel fate of his son. Without hearing or uttering a word, he locked himself up in his study, and there gave a vent to his sorrow. His groans and sobs where heard, by those outside, who in vain implored access, in order to administer consolation to his afflicted mind. Monsieur himself, though long versed in misfortune, stood in need of friendly support but with that laudable resignation which which had always distinguished him, and summing up resolution, he entered the apartment of the Prince, de Conde, and with apparent composure he thus addressed him—"You know my uncle I have to de-
plore the murder of a brother, of a sister, of a sister-in-law, and of a nephew." His royal highness the Prince de Conde, judging what this preface led to, interrupting him, exclaimed—"My grandson is no more; I have no more posterity!" So saying he fell into the arms of the Chevalier de Conti, who attended Monsieur. Half an hour passed before he recovered, and burst into a flood of tears. Upon his recovery, he apologised to Monsieur for his weakness, assuring him they were the first tears he had shed since the murder of Louis XVI. The prince being extremely ill, was put to bed, and Monsieur passed the night at Wanstead house in hopes of seeing the Duke of Bourbon, who remained shut up in his apartment until ten o'clock on Wednesday morning he then consented to see Monsieur; but when they met neither could utter a single word.
Monsieur parted from him, went into his carriage, and the Duke retired to his chamber, where he remained yesterday morning inconsolable. The duke and prince are attended by a physician and a surgeon, who did not permit them to see each other. Monsieur was rather better on Thursday, and received the visits of the Duke of Orleans, of the Duke de Montpensier and of the Count de Beaujolais. This day the French Princes and those loyal emigrants who have the means of doing so, will go into mourning for the Duke of Enghien, this last royal victim of the atrocious monster whom Providence has so long suffered to chastise the world; and next week funeral service will be celebrated in commemoration of the martyrdom of his royal highness. Last Tuesday, Monsieur received a letter from his Majesty the King of France, dated Warsaw, March 31.
His Majesty had been heard of the attempt of the Corsican Usurper, through the medium of emissaries at Berlin, but nothing more. In that letter his majesty says, "I have written a long letter to the Duke of Enghien." Strange vicissitudes of human life! What a short sighted mortal is man! Upon that very day the Duke of Enghien was before the tribunal of blood, convened by a merciless Corsican in France, to murder one of its best and most virtuous princes. Yet the Corsican tyrant lives, and the good people of Paris go as usual to plays, to balls and puppet-shows!
April 20.
We this morning were favoured with a note from a gentleman who has just escaped from France, having left Dieppe on Friday last, landed on the coast of Dorset from an open boat on Monday, and arrived in town yesterday. He states that the army encamped along the coast of Picardy have begun to manifest great discontent at the delay which has taken place respecting the invasion of this country, which they have been assured these several times in the course of five months would certainly be put in execution at a given period. The middle of November was the first time mentioned, the last week of January the second, and the third the middle of March, since which the activity of the preparations has considerably relaxed, except in what regards the exchange of troops, above twenty battalions of whom, our informant assures us, were ordered into the interior during the period of his stay on the coast, which was about a fortnight.
In regard to the rumours of insurrections, &c. in Paris, he says they arrive daily; and though perhaps altogether unfounded, they are generally considered as strongly expressive of the wishes of the people, which are every where explicitly in favor of a peace with England.
THE LOAN.—Yesterday about three o'clock, Mr. A. Newland read a letter at the Stock Exchange, which the Governor of the Bank had just received from Mr. Addington, desiring him to cause it to be made known at the Stock Exchange, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would, on Wednesday morning next at ten o'clock, be ready to treat with such gentlemen as were inclined to bid for a loan for the present year. Just before the announcing the letter from Mr. Addington at the Stock Exchange, an eminent Jew sold 120,000l. Consols for to-morrow, at 55 5 8; they instantly fell to 55 3 8. There are already the following lists for the ensuing loan: Roberts, Curtis, G. Adams and Co., Sir F. Baring, Aytou and Ellis; Mark Spott, Hammond and Co., Sir R. C. Glynn, and the Bankers.
GREENOCK, April 24.
In the House of lords on Thursday last on the motion made by lord Carlisle for the production of papers relative to the conveyance to India intelligence of hostilities. The motion was carried against ministry by a majority of one, there being 31 for the motion and 30 against it. Ministry however recovered the majority on the next question, respecting the Irish militia, and we are disposed to consider them as having been taken on surprise on the former subject. The removal of ministry would we presume be preceded by more unequivocal symptoms than an incidental circumstance like this. At the same time it

is certain, that the oppositionists have of late been uncommonly busy; and it must be confessed have weakened ministry; but they are heterogeneous mass, composed of discordant materials, and we think, even if triumphant, could form no efficient ministry unless Mr. Pitt and his friends made a component part. It is above all desirable, that the factious scenes exhibited during the American contest should not be renewed. At that period the enquiry upon the continent at the arrival of each English mail was "Who is minister this Post?"
The French papers contain an account of the death of P. Ch. Gru, which is stated to have happened by his own hand; and to this is appended a circumstantial prose verbal of Physicians, shewing the marks of violence found by them on the body, whence the nature of the death is concluded. This latter report is more to be relied on than the former. It may fairly be suspected, that the bow string of the Mameluke guard executed the will of the ferocious Italian on this brave man. Indeed it is asserted, that the account of the pretended suicide is so clumsily forged, as to contain internal evidence of its falsehood. The Moniteur prepares for new tragedies, by announcing Moreau and Georges to be sick.
A report has been circulated within these few days of the Dutch fleet having come out of port, but it appears void of foundation.
There has been another victory obtained in India. This battle was fought by General Wellesley with the Berar Rajah, and happened rather incidentally; the latter interfering with the British troops in their taking a position, after the truce with Scindian.
It appears that the King of Sweden who was at Baden when the Duke D'Enghien was kidnapped, exerted himself most honorably to accomplish his release, by endeavoring to procure, through his ambassador at Paris, an union of the several foreign Ministers for that purpose; but his efforts were unavailing. It will have been seen, that the Swedish Minister is the only one of the corps Diplomatique who did not re-echo the note of Talleyrand; a distinction very honorable to the power which he serves.
The different attempts to execute the scheme with the stone ships have failed.—Perhaps they might be usefully employed as passions in the formation of a harbor in some port of the United Kingdom.
LEXINGTON, June 12.
On Saturday evening last twelve Chiefs, deputed from the Osage Nation of Indians, and two boys, arrived in this town, on their way to the City of Washington, on a visit to the President of the United States. It is said the object of their visit is to enter into a treaty with the United States, with whom they are desirous to be on friendly terms. Their towns are situated upwards of 500 miles up the Missouri, on the Osage river. The tribe consists of about fifteen hundred warriors, who live in two settlements, at no great distance from each other. They are of a gigantic stature, being all (the men) above six feet in height and well proportioned. They are represented as a ferocious people, who wish to be at war with all the tribes of Indians.—On their passage down the Missouri, five of their party were killed by the Sacquas and Renard tribe of Indians. Several others returned from St. Louis, having fallen sick.
M. Chouteau, a French gentleman of the first respectability, and a citizen of Louisiana, and who has for a number of years had the exclusive privilege of trading with the Osages, has been induced by capt. Lewis to accompany them. There are also in company several young French gentlemen, who intend applying to be admitted to the military academy.
The party left St. Louis the 17th ultimo, at which time capt. Lewis and Clarke were there, and would leave it the 19th, on their tour to explore Louisiana. Three men who had been for three years hunting in that country, and whose knowledge of the different tribes of Indians extended a considerable distance, have been engaged to go with capt. Lewis as guides.—Those hunters relate, that during their excursions they saw an Indian woman, who had been taken prisoner from a nation who live on the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
M. Chouteau carries with him to the President, a toad, or frog, of a very curious species; its form is that of a land tortoise, very flat, covered with scales, of a dark grey colour, a short tail, and a head formed like that of a buffalo, and is ornamented with six horns. It lived four months in the possession of M. Chouteau, without taking any other nourishment than
a little water, which was given it from time to time.
This species of frog is frequently found in the prairies within the territory of the Osage nation. They live in association with a species of ground squirrel, and a species of snake. Those associations occupy an area of from one to two acres of ground; from the surface are a number of holes, which communicate with their subterranean habitations; it is kept free from dust or grass by the squirrels, who brush it with their tails; they are of a brown color, slender made, and very active. They frequently play among themselves, on the surface, keeping centinels. As soon as any person appears the watch gives the signal, and they all instantly disappear. The snakes do not move until they perceive the object themselves. The frogs being of a slow indolent disposition, are easily taken.
We have been informed, that on the 4th inst. a negro man was sent down into col. Johnson's salt well, at Crane's Lick on Licking River, for the purpose of bringing up a bucket which had fallen from the rope. Finding a light necessary a candle was let down to him, when the air in the well immediately took fire, and the flame ascended ten or twelve feet above the mouth of the well. After the fire was extinguished, the Negro was taken up, burnt in a most shocking manner, and it is supposed that he cannot long survive this unhappy accident. The air in the well, it is believed, consisted of a mixture of Hydrogenous gas with Atmospheric air. The fire damp, well known to miners, takes place in the same way—Great quantities of Sulphurated Hydrogenous gas are continually arising from many of our salt wells and springs.

N. B. A more particular detail of the order of the day will be hereafter announced.
Latest from Europe, but no news.
By a passenger in the brig Liverpool, who arrived at Salem, the 13th inst. in 8 days from Liverpool, (N. S.) we have been informed that by an arrival at St. John's in 14 days from Liverpool, in England; papers have been received as late as April 30, but their contents announce no events of importance as having transpired in Europe.
A letter from Cadiz, of the 25th of April, contains the following interesting news. We have seen the original, and know it to be from a respectable quarter.
"I am apprehensive this country and Portugal will not long remain neutral.—There is a serious misunderstanding between them and the Court in London. The British minister at Madrid no longer appears at Court, and is waiting the result of his complaints, which he has forwarded to England. Sweden, Denmark, and Russia are in coalition against France, in consequence, it is said of a discovery that the threatened invasion of England was only held up to view in order to obtain a favorable opportunity of going against those powers. (N. Y. Gaz.)"
It is pleasant to observe with what seriousness some of your "genuine" democratic editors, deal out their censures against federalists, because they have the temerity to remark upon the wayward conduct of some of their "genuine" masters. It should seem as though these pious advocates for the present pious rulers of the sovereign people, had lately taken a pretty deep draught of Lethean waters, and in the language of the factious Peter, had literally "remembered to forget," that falsehood and misrepresentation, calumny and abuse, were the weapons, which, with the dexterity of skillful gladiators, they exercised to
the destruction of that confidence which was deservedly placed in those, who, in the fullness of that "wisdom which is probable to direct," administered the government. The ancient monarchical doctrine, 'of passive obedience and non-resistance,' seems to be growing into fashion with these riotous republicans; and federalists, forsooth, must be dumb and open not their mouths, though they should be led like sheep to the slaughter. Tom Paine, Callender, Duane, Cheetham, &c.—these genuine impious republicans had a privileged right to slander and abuse the dignified patriots of our country, and every power seeking demagogue, encouraged and approved; but federalists are doomed to all the curses in Uncle Toby's calendar, if they presume to question the conduct of rulers, however injurious to their liberties, or to censure the measures of government however they may militate against their rights, and interests of the nation.
It is not a little strange that these pretenders for equal rights should be so partial to their sticklers adopted brethren? Foreign renegades, according to the patriotic logic of these impartial advocates of a virtuous cause , are allowed to abuse native citizens; but native citizens may not be indulged, even with the privilege of just censure. Federalists may be knocked down with an Irish shilly , but they are not permitted to return the blow with a small sized switch of American hickory .
The character of the venerable Washington may be assailed by the vilest outcasts in creation; but the immaculate purity of Mr. Jefferson must not be suspected even by those who have a thorough knowledge of his character. The virtuous and good may be attacked with Vandal fury, of unprincipled hirelings; but vice and hypocrisy, must not be exposed. The just intentions of honest patriots may be distorted, by the misrepresentations of wicked disorganizers, but the mantle of charity must be drawn over the vile machinations of hot-headed demagogues. Wonderful specimen of democratic consistency. Nulla me tangre is the motto of democracy, and such is the spirit of the times, such the delusion which prevails, that whoever shall dare to question her " divine right " is doomed to feel the sting of her thistle . Yet we trust there are those, who will not shrink from the task of exposing the iniquity of her temple, from the high priest himself, down to the very scalds, the minerals of her altar. (Utica Pat.)

B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.
This lottery has been authorized by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a Seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attending on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
