IMPORTANT Foreign Intelligence.
From the Courier of Oct. 6 PARIS, October 3,
A Convention of Amity and Commerce, between the French Republic, and the United States of America, was signed the day before yesterday, (October 1st.) by the French Plenipotentiaries, Joseph Buonaparte, C. P. Claret, Fleurier, and Riederer, and the American Commissioners, Oliver Elsworth, W. R. Davy, and W. V. Murray.
Official.
It was less necessary to revert to the past than to revive between the two nations useful and honorable relations; the treaty has fulfilled this object. The French Ministers convinced that the prosperity of America, could not but add to the prosperity of France, have been led particularly to consecrate maxims most favorable to the rights of neutrality, and most conformable to the regulations of 1778. The first Consul in restoring force to that regulation four months ago, fulfilled the wish of justice and of Europe; and undoubtedly it will be delightful to him to evince to himself anew, faithful to his principles, by ratifying the treaty concluded by the Minister of the Republic, at a moment in which Europe resounds with the violation of neutral flags. The American Ministers on their side appreciated the advantage of being allied to a nation governed at length with wisdom and firmness. Every thing announces that a strict and durable friendship is about to reanimate the neutral commerce of the two nations.
The Convention signed by the Emperor, produces a great sensation in Germany. The malcontents and partisans of England, accuse him of having abandoned the interests of the Emperor, which is not true.
PARIS Sept. 29.
It was remarked that at the dinner which the 1st. Consul gave on the 1st. vendemaire, a toast was given to the 46 United Departments.
It is said that Gen. Clarke was to set out last night for Luneville.
The accounts from Italy state, that the French Government have demanded and obtained from the Pope, the removal of the Neapolitan troops from Rome;—it appears also that General Mylins has surrendered the command of Ancona to General Knowrich.
It is said that Joseph Buonaparte, Counsellor of State, is to go to the Congress at Luneville as negotiator on the part of the French Republic.
September 30,
General Clarke did not set off for Luneville till last night. It is said that the French Government were determined to consent to an armistice, by the declaration made by Prussia, that the Northern Powers will not see with a favourable eye the ulterior progress of the French, and that if they continued to drive back the Austrian Army, Prussia would reinforce the Cordon which occupies the line of demarcation of 6,000 men, and that another army of the same force would have orders to hold itself ready to march.
On the 22nd of September, the Emperor returned to Vienna with Count Lehbach.
The five Counsellors of State, who were directed to present another mode of erasure from the emigrant list, have presented their report to the Consuls.
LONDON, October 6.
Government received this morning dispatches of importance from Paris. They are supposed to contain the final answer of the Chief Consul. The ship which brought them brought us Paris papers to the 4th instant. The contents of which are of considerable importance.
Malta has at length surrendered to the English. On the 21st September a council of war was held; at which, an account of the total want of provisions, it was agreed to send a flag of truce to Major General Pigot, with a proposal to surrender the Island. On the 5th articles of capitulation was agreed upon and signed. The garrison are considered as prisoners of war and are not to serve against his Britannic Majesty until they have been regularly exchanged.
This event is of considerable importance. It removes one of the obstacles to the arrangement of a naval armistice, and will enable Great Britain to negotiate with more effect at the Congress of Luneville.
The negotiation between America and France has been brought to a conclusion and a convention of Amity and Commerce was signed on the 1st instant at Paris, by French and American Plenipotentiaries.
The Emperor is gone back to Vienna. The Count de Lehbach is daily expected at Strasbourg on his way to Luneville, where very active preparations for the Congress are making. The Chief Consul's brother, Joseph Buonaparte is to be the negotiator on the part of France.
The affair of the capture of the two Spanish Frigates in the harbour of Barcelona, by two English Frigates has been taken up by the Court of Spain in the most serious manner.
Our readers will recollect that the frigates were captured by means of a Swedish Ship, on board of which a strong party of English officers and sailors was put, who got the ship alongside one of the frigates, boarded, took her, and turned her guns against the other frigate, which was also obliged to strike. The circumstance of converting a neutral vessel into an instrument of hostility, has been considered by Spain as a violation of the rights of neutrals. A circular letter has been addressed to all the Foreign Ministers at Madrid, enclosing a letter to the Swedish Ministers of Foreign Affairs. The Court of Stockholm is required to demand reparation, and the restoration of the Spanish Frigates, and is informed, that if its representations to the Court of London are not attended with the desired effect before the end of the year, his Catholic Majesty will adopt measures of precaution towards the Swedish flag.
On the 30th and 31st of August, Lord Keith failed from Minorca with 15,000 troops. He proceeds to the eastward, and is supposed to be gone either to Naples or Egypt.
Two of the frigates which did so much damage on the coast of Africa, have been taken.
LUNEVILLE, Sept. 28.
Yesterday the Sub-prefect and Secretary arrived here and proceeded to the Castle to agree upon the repairs to be made on that superb edifice in which the interests of so many nations are to be discussed. A theatre is to be established here.
MODENA, Sept. 15.
Lucca has been entirely evacuated by the French. The Austrians have also evacuated Ferrara, and repelled the Po. Before they left they exacted a contribution of 30,000 crowns.
HANAU, Sept. 22.
The French were yesterday in the environs of Fulde. It is said there was a slight attack of advanced posts near Nuhoff.
AUGSBURGH, Sept. 23.
The emperor left yesterday morning for Vienna with Count Lehbach. The greater part of the French army is retiring from Bavaria into Suabia, where it is to resume its cantonnemens.
STRASBURGH, Sept. 29.
We expect here Moreau and Count de Lehbach, who have not passed through our city as reported.
STUTTGARD, Sept. 23.
We have received the news that Ulm is already open.
AUGSBURGH, Sept. 24.
It has been this day announced as certain that the Emperor has signed the preliminaries of Peace, but that they are to be kept secret. It is added, that they differ in their tenor from those signed at Paris.
We learn that the courier who was the bearer of the armistice reached Gen. Angereau too late; for hostilities had already begun on the right bank of the Mein. A column of our army had penetrated to Foulda, after having beaten the enemy near Nembhoff.
Ratisbon is again occupied by General Bonnet.
ARMY OF BATAVIA.
Order of the day, 1st Vendemaire.
THE ARMY
is informed that there is a prolongation of the armistice for 45 days, on condition of the surrender of the three places of Ulm, Ingolstadt, and Philippsburg, which has been consented to by the Emperor.
(Signed)
ANDREOSSI.
ULM, September 27.
General Colaud, who blockaded our city, came here the 24th to concert with General Petrasch, upon the surrender of the fortress on the next day;—he ordered the gate of the Danube to be occupied by French troops. In three days the fort raised round the city will be surrendered to Gen. Richopaufe.
BARCELONA, September 20.
A flag of truce with prisoners on board, is arrived here from Mahon in 6 days. The prisoners declare, that on the 27th August, there entered Mahon an English brig, and that immediately after they saw troops embark on board the ships of war, which sailed on the 30th and 31st with 18 or 20 transports, and 15,000 troops under Admiral Keith, on board the Foudroyant of 84 guns, having on board the Consul for Algiers, and 30 French Officers prisoners. The squadron failed eastward.
BAMBERG, September 13.
The day before yesterday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Field Marshal Lieutenant Baron Simbschen received intelligence, by a courier of the armistice having been prolonged for an unlimited period, and that therefore the troops should remain where they were at present. That general having, in the evening of the 10th, and the night of the 11th, after the expiration of the armistice, advanced to the left Banks of the Maine, with a considerable part of his troops, will be of very considerable advantage for a great part of the territory of Wurtemberg. General Simbschen arrived here on the 9th instant, with his staff. The English Minister, Mr. Drake, is here, in the Imperial head-quarters.
PARIS, September 25.
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
Line of Strasbourg.
General Moreau Commander in Chief of the army of the Rhine, to General Buonaparte, First Consul of the Republic.
"I have concluded a new armistice. The three places of Ingolstadt, Ulm, and Philippsburg will be given up in five days, and evacuated in ten.
(True Copy) "CHAPPE."
September 27.
We have received, from a correspondent at Calais, a letter, dated the 23rd, containing the following particulars:— "Yesterday at twelve o'clock in the morning, an English flag of truce brought over two dispatches, the one directed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the other to the Minister of Marine. They were instantly forwarded to Paris by a courier extraordinary, who will reach that city this evening. Nothing has yet transpired respecting the subject of the dispatches."
The English cruisers have again appeared in great numbers off the coasts of Holland.
September 28.
We know not whether the British Cabinet will accept the conditions which the French government has wisely proposed to it, and we doubt whether it be proper to desire that Envoys from England should assist at the Congress. But after the formidable position of our army, and the deplorable state in which the Emperor sees his own army, we should be much disappointed, if the result of the Congress was not a speedy pacification between the French Republic and his Imperial Majesty.
VIENNA, September 10.
On our news that the armistice was prolonged, our flat rate rose 5 per cent.
What must greatly contribute to promote peace, or should it not be concluded, must have a great influence on the consequent events, is the armed intervention of two great Courts, which in certain circumstances will take place. We have now received certain information, that two numerous Russian armies, which will amount together to no less than 130,000 men, are assembling on the Russian frontiers of Volhynia and Lithuania. We are also assured that another powerful court will not see with indifference the French carry the war into Bohemia.
L O N D O N,
September 29.
Yesterday were received Paris papers to the 26th instant. The intelligence they present is of the very first importance, as having the strongest appearance of peace.
The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday last arrived yesterday, and brought a confirmation of the prolongation of the armistice between France and Austria, the intelligence of which reached us on Wednesday in the Paris papers. The Emperor, according to the Vienna article, has sent to Paris a modification of the terms proposed by Buonaparte; and this circumstance has considerably revived the hopes of peace at Vienna.—While an expectation of a favourable issue of the negotiation prevails, the means of defence are not however neglected: and his Imperial Majesty is making great and important changes in his army, which he now commands in person. Nor is it, in the event of the renewal of hostilities, on the strength of the Austrians alone, that the politicians of the continent calculate for the defence of Germany. Two large Russian armies, it is officially announced in the Petersburg gazette, amounting together to not less than 130,000 men, were collecting on the Russian frontiers of Volhynia and Lithuania; and the co-operation of Prussia was also expected. A few days must develop important events.
The following intelligence was brought by the Hamburg mail which arrived yesterday:
"RIGA, September 10. 1800.
N. S. Publication.
"The Emperor of Russia having learned that the English have made a violent attack upon Denmark, and have impeded the passage of the Sound, by sending a squadron of men of war to Elsinore, whereby the commerce of the Baltic Sea appears to have sustained an interruption, is hereby pleased to order that English property or capital in his Imperial Majesty's dominions be requisitioned or detained, and that no part of it be suffered to be remitted or sent out until his Imperial Majesty shall have ascertained what the real views of England are, or that his Imperial Majesty shall have given his special permission to the contrary."
"None of the property of the English shall, however, be taken from the possessors nor shall any interruption be given to the private concerns of the merchants possessing British property."
Extraordinary as this measure may appear to be, yet, as the motives which are alleged as having given rise to it have now ceased, it is to be presumed, that the directing it would be revoked almost immediately after it had been issued.
The mail of Friday brought us letters from the combined British and Turkish fleet off Alexandria, dated the 9th of July, stating that Sir Sidney Smith had sent lieutenant Wright, of Le Tigre, to Cairo, charged with dispatches to Gen. Menou.—The Grand Vizier was encamped with about 80,000 men at
Jaffa, and was engaged in preparations to advance against the enemy, should the mission of Mr. Wright fail to induce them to evacuate Egypt.
Sir Sidney Smith had only two English ships, but two others were hourly expected to join him.
Letters from Lubeck of the 15th, mention the arrival of an English vessel there from Riga: so that the embargo stated to have been imposed on our vessels in the Russian ports must have been but of short duration.
Before the Emperor of Germany quitted Vienna to take the command of the army, prayers were said for his success, at which he was present, together with the Queen of Naples, the Empress, and all the females of his family.
In Bohemia, the militia destined to defend the country under the Archduke Charles, will amount to 50,000 men. That of Hungary consisting of 80,000 men, is to be headed by Prince Esterhazy, and to serve out of the country; while the Archduke Palatine will command in the interior.
October 4.
We are still without any certain information respecting the nature of the dispatches lately received by Government from France. It is thought, however, that those which arrived on Wednesday evening contained nothing absolutely decisive of the question of the proposed armistice; and the explanatory communications on the subject, we believe, have not yet entirely ceased. The difficulties which present themselves on this occasion, must be, indeed, both numerous and serious. It should seem that we are called upon to make no less a sacrifice than the total relinquishment, for a given time, of the proud superiority which, as a maritime power, we now so eminently possess; and to this discouraging consideration we may venture to add our fears, that the jealousies and suspicions which the respective governments entertain of each others views, are at the present time of too marked and forcible a description to induce a reasonable hope of the existing differences being brought to a speedy or cordial accommodation.
A Council of the Cabinet Ministers was held yesterday afternoon at Lord Grenville's office—a circumstance which gave rise to a report of some further dispatches having been received from France, but which we could not trace to any authentic source.
The Hamburg mail which became due on Wednesday, had not arrived when the paper was put to press.
General Angereau's troops have now all marched up the Mayn towards Lohas. In the environs of the Lahn and the Nidda, not a single French soldier remains.
General Clarke, the officer appointed to repair to the seat of negotiation at Luneville, is an Irishman, and a very confidential friend of the First Consul.
Prince Adolphus is arrived at Hamburg from Hanover, on his way to England.
The new Bavarian Minister, the Chevalier De Bray, is expected to arrive in this country.
Lord Whitworth is now on his return to England, by the route of Hamburg.
A Council of the Cabinet Ministers was yesterday held at Lord Grenville's office.
The Flag of Truce which arrived at Dover on Wednesday morning, brought dispatches in answer to those sent from London on Friday last. They reached town on Wednesday evening, and contained the answer of the French Government. To the dispatches sent off on Saturday no answer has yet been received, but it is hourly looked for. Till something definitive is agreed on, or the matter entirely abandoned, no information on the subject can be expected to be published officially.
The Preliminary Convention has been signed between the Courts of England and Denmark:—The question of the right of searching ships it is to be deferred to a future discussion. The Danish frigate la Freya, and the vessels which were under her convoy, to be instantly released, and the frigate shall find, in our port, every thing necessary for her repair, according to the usage allowed among friendly and allied powers. To prevent similar recurrences from breeding disputes of a similar nature, his Danish Majesty shall suspend his convoys till the ulterior explanation upon this point shall have given rise to a definitive treaty. If it should come to pass, however, that any rencontre of the same kind should take place before the instructions to prevent them shall have had their effect, they shall not be productive of any serious consequences; and the arrangements of whatever may result from them shall be considered as comprehended in the object of the present Convention.
October 1.
The Hamburg mail due on Sunday had not arrived when this paper went to press.
Nothing had transpired since our last with respect to the negotiations which are now upon the tapis for a maritime armistice between this country and France. The answer of the consulate to the last dispatches of our government on this subject is expected to arrive in the course of to-morrow.
The negotiation between the courts of Peterburgh and Berlin for an armed mediation to settle the affairs of the continent, have been carried on for some time past with great activity. It is reported from a very confidential source, that the strenuous exertions of the Emperor Paul to draw the King of Prussia into this
league, have not been successful, the latter having very recently transmitted his refusal to the application. It is thought the king of Prussia has been promised a boon by the Chief Consul at the general peace.
The latest and most confidential letters from Spain mention, that troops are marching from all quarters of that kingdom towards Portugal. Since the peace between the Emperor and the French republic, the situation of Portugal is evidently become much more critical than before.
To agree to the measure of a naval armistice, purely and simply, would be to give up all our superiority in this contest, without any equivalent. It is not a suspension of arms, in which things remain as they were, and after which the belligerents might renew the war with the same relative advantage. France unquestionably gains all that is to be gained. The principal is wholly in her favour, and as soon as we begin to modify it, the provisions accumulate upon us so rapidly that the whole measure becomes a mass of jealous restrictions.
The vessels which brought the Paris papers brought likewise two different sets of dispatches.—Their arrival naturally produced a good deal of enquiry; and of course a number of reports were circulated upon the subject.
It is said that the answer of the French Government (which arrived in the morning) was not decisive as to the points in discussion concerning the Naval Armistice. The second arrival may have brought further explanations. The funds were rather dull, however—a proof that the intelligence was not considered as satisfactory.
Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at Lord Grenville's Office, at which were present all the Cabinet Ministers in town. The result has not transpired.
October 3.
On Wednesday Mr. Herlett, a King's Messenger, arrived from Copenhagen with the ratification of the convention signed in that City on the 27th of August, by their Excellencies Lord Whitworth and Count Bernstorff, on the part of their respective Courts.
The Hamburg Mail due on Sunday arrived yesterday morning. The intelligence it brings, being of a date prior to that before received by the Paris papers, cannot be very interesting. It does not come down to the 20th of September, the date of the convention by which the armistice was prolonged. We only find that the hope of this prolongation had caused a great sensation in Germany, and produced a rise of two per cent. in the State paper of Vienna. The Emperor, on his arrival at the army, did not take command of it himself, but appointed his brother, the Archduke John, General in Chief, until, by the letters from Vienna, the Archduke Charles shall be sufficiently recovered to take his place. The General Orders published at the head of the army, by which the Emperor appoints the Archduke John Commander in Chief, contains the same protestations as the proclamation published at Vienna at the time of the Emperor's departure, with respect to his wish for peace, and the obstacles opposed to it by the French. But it affords us no light relative to the causes of his refusal to ratify the Preliminaries, so short a time before he assented to deliver up to the enemy the remaining defences of his kingdoms.
The mail brings a confirmation of the Emperor Paul's having taken off the sequestration of the effects of British subjects; it is to be regretted that it should have been so hastily imposed, and that a disposition should have been manifested for which no provocation had been given.
The Emperor, after signing the last convention with the French, gave notice of his intention to set out for Italy, to review the Austrian army in that country. He was expected at Verona on the 16th of September.
The flag of truce which arrived the night before last, brought to Lord Grenville the answer of Citizen Talleyrand to the dispatches sent on Friday last to Paris, relative to the proposed naval armistice.
Respecting the particular points of restriction or equivalent, which are the present subjects of delay in the negotiations of the naval armistice, nothing certain will transpire till that object shall be finally accomplished or refused. Ministers by admitting and attempting to modify a similar proposition, evince their desire of procuring a general peace at the Congress of Luneville. Much difficulty will attend the present discussions, which naturally embrace so many parts of the world, where France is in various modes coerced and confined from our maritime superiority. Many flags of truce therefore will pass, and no doubt repairs, before such an armistice can be finally concluded, and the public will do well to guard itself against a renewal of speculation and imposture, to which, during every species of negotiation, it is always exposed.
The last Paris papers mention that Gen. Berthier arrived at Madrid on the 3d ult. at ten in the evening. As he proceeded to the hotel prepared for his reception, he was followed by an immense concourse of people, all eager to see him, and martial music played as he alighted from his carriage. He left Madrid next day, to go to St. Ildefonso; as he passed through the city, shouts of applause resounded from every corner. On his arrival at St. Ildefonso, he was presented by the ambassador Alquier, to M. D'Urquijo, Chief Secretary of State. Gen. Berthier then went to court, and was presented to the King and Queen, by both of whom he was received with the most distinguished marks of honour.

The French army in Bavaria now consists of 70,000 Infantry, 18,000 Cavalry, and 4,000 Artillery.
When General Moreau passed through Ratisbon, he invited the Ministers of Prussia, of Sweden, and the two Houses of Hesse, to dine with him. The invitation was sent by an Aide-de-Camp.
MADRID, September 28.
The affair of the capture of the two frigates at Barcelona, has been taken up very seriously by our government. Every one is indignant here at the event, and we know not how to characterize the spirit which influenced the English on this occasion.
Our state of warfare not permitting the king's ministers to address complaints directly to the court of London, they have confined themselves to denouncing the fact by a circular letter to the ambassadors of all the foreign powers who reside at Madrid, and to inform them of it, more particularly the ministers of his Swedish majesty, whom that event concerns more than any others, exhorting him to require from the British government a satisfactory reparation for the outrage done to his flag, and the punishment of the officers concerned. The following are the papers mentioned above.
Circular letter to the ambassadors and foreign ministers to the court of Spain.
Sir, I have the honour to communicate to you a copy of the memorial which the king my master, has ordered me to send to his minister at Stockholm, in order to be transmitted to the ministry of his Swedish majesty.
The principles which are established in it, and the event which has given rise to it, are of a nature to interest all the commercial nations of Europe, particularly the neutral powers.
His majesty is persuaded that your government will see the affair in the same point of view, and he flatters himself that it will concur in effecting, as much as possible, from the annals of this war an attack so destructive of the confidence and hospitality, of which neutral and friendly flags enjoy.
I repeat the assurances of my consideration and esteem. (Signed) CHEVALIER D'URQUIJO. St. Ildephonso, Sept. 17, 1800.
Letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the King of Sweden.
Sir, The King my master, has seen with the greatest indignation, by a report which the Consul of his Swedish majesty at Barcelona has transmitted to the Captain-general of Catalonia, containing the declaration of Captain Rudbart, of the Swedish galliot the Hoffnung, that on the 4th of September last, in the afternoon, two English ships of the line and a frigate forced the said captain, after having examined and found his papers according to rule, to take on board English officers and a considerable number of sailors, and to suffer himself to be towed at night-fall by several English chalups to the harbour of Barcelona, and under the cannon of its batteries.
That the English having reduced the said captain and his crew to silence, by holding a pistol at his breast, got possession of the helm, and made at 9 P. M. by means of the galliot and the chalups surrounding it, an attack upon two frigates under the Spanish flag, who were there at anchor, who not suspecting that this friendly ship concealed enemies on board, and could be made use of for the most attack, were taken almost by surprise and forced to surrender.
I refer you for the other particulars, and for the violence committed by the English on the Swedish ship, to the declaration of the captain hereunto annexed.
The King my master could not consider that event but as interesting the rights, and wounding the interests of all the powers of Europe, without excepting England; and above all, as the heaviest insult to the flag of his Swedish Majesty.
In fact, it is evident that the belligerent powers, by admitting neutral ships into their harbours and ports, wished to soften the scourge of war, and to preserve those commercial relations between the people of different nations, which their mutual wants require.
Everything therefore that tends to render the navigation suspected and dangerous, injures in an equal degree the rights and interests of all nations.
But in the present case the rights and honour of the Swedish flag have been violated in so outrageous a manner, that few examples of such a violation can be found in the Naval History of Europe.
The attack if it were to remain unpunished, would tend to embroil two friendly powers, annihilate their commercial relations, and cause the neutral flag which should suffer it to be considered as the secret auxiliary of the enemy's power, and would thus force Spain to take such measures as the interest of its vessels, and the security of its ports should command.
Yet the King, my master, wishes still to believe that the Swedish captain has not been guilty of the least connivance with the English, and that he yielded only to their force and their great number.
Under this supposition, the King has ordered me to lay before his Swedish Majesty, this grievous insult committed against his flag; and not doubting the reluctance which he will feel at a procedure equally low and distasteful on the part of some officers of the British navy, he expects that the court of Stockholm will make to the English Ministry the most serious representations, in order that the officers who have rendered themselves culpable upon this occasion, be punished severely, and that the
two Spanish frigates surprised and captured off the harbour of Barcelona by a frigate equally contrary to the rights of nations and the rules of war, be immediately restored with their cargoes, as having been illegally surprised by means of a neutral ship, which served as an instrument to the assailants.
His Catholic Majesty thinks himself so much the more entitled to consider the success of this reclamation as certain, as the English Government even cannot dispute that its enemies, by following a similar example, might themselves also make use of neutral vessels to infest its harbours, and do in its ports all possible damage.
But if, contrary to all expectation, the steps of his Swedish Majesty, at the Court of London, to obtain reparation for the injury done to his flag, as well as the restitution of the two Spanish frigates, should not have the desired success before the end of this year, his Majesty will be obliged, though with much regret, to adopt towards the Swedish flag, measures of precaution which shall in future shelter his harbours and ports from an abuse as dangerous and revolting, as that which the English have just committed.
I have the honour to be, &c. [Signed]
CHEVALIER D'URQUIJO. St. Ildephonso, Sept. 19, 1800.
Note—The declaration of the Swedish captain gives an historical recital of the transaction.

NEW-YORK, Nov. 5.
The Editor of the New-York Gazette received yesterday a letter from an officer on board the United States frigate President Commodore Truxtun, dated Bastiatte Roads, September 30, which says,
"On our passage out to this station, we made one recapture, to wit, the English ship Ruth, from Martinique bound to Newfoundland, loaded with the produce of the English islands."
Enclosed in the above letter, was a copy of the following, from David M. Clarkson, Esq. to Commodore Truxtun,
"Dear Sir, I have dispatched a negro to Old Road as you desired, and have written captain Shaw."
"By a gentleman who left Curacoa on the 4th of September, I was informed the French frigate La Vengeance had gone to sea in a very lame situation, with only 165 men, and but very few seamen on board. Captain Pitot was ordered by one of the agents of Guadaloupe who had gone to Curacoa to use his force in compelling the Americans there to pay for the damages that ship sustained in the engagement with the Constellation, which he refused; in consequence, he was threatened with arrestation, and to be sent to Guadaloupe—immediately he made every reparation to the ship he possibly could, and went to sea in a very crippled state; since when, I am informed she has been taken and carried into Bermuda by a British 44, in a very wretched situation, as is also the British ship."
"I am most respectfully, Sir, Your obedient servant, DAVID M. CLARKSON."
Thomas Truxtun, Esq. Commander of United States squadron. October 1/8, 1800.
Seven of the villains who broke jail on Monday, have been apprehended and lodged in Hackenback jail.
From the Halifax Journal, Sept. 9.
Monday arrived here the Sch. Sisters, captain Cameron, in 26 days from St. Thomas's a Danish King's brig, mounting 22 eight en pounders, arrived there, bringing in with her the Sch. Eagle, capt. Nufson, of this port. Captain Cameron, went in his boat, to go on board the Eagle but was prevented by the Danish officers, when John Doyle, who was armourer of the Eagle, got upon the gunwale, and informed him, they had been fired into by the above brig, in the most barbarous manner, without the least provocation. That capt. Nufson and one man was killed, and the 1st Lieutenant and 5 others wounded. Captain Cameron was refused any further direct communication with the crew of the Eagle, who were landed next day under a strong guard, and confined in the Fort; and the only reason assigned for this extraordinary proceeding, was, that one of their armed Schooners had been attacked by a British privateer, called Dreadnought, and they were determined to have satisfaction.
When we compare the behaviour of the Danish frigates in the North sea and in the Mediterranean, with the above murderous and unprovoked action, and consider that the Danish brig had arrived but five days from Denmark, and that probably they had brought out the new orders of that Court, there can be no doubt, but the Danes are provoking that chastisement from the British Navy, which it is highly probable they will shortly receive.

General Orders:
Lancaster, October 7, 1800.
THE Governor having observed that the Military dress of the Militia is prescribed by the Legislature, consisting of a blue coat, faced with red, and the lining white or red, but that no regulation has been made by law respecting the COCKADE, and being desirous of distinguishing the Militia of this State, from other Corps, recommends, that in future the colours of the COCKADE be BLUE and RED, corresponding with the colours of the uniform.
RICHARD HUMPTON, Adjutant General.
We shall not at present make any comments on the above, the thing speaks for itself—It may, however, be proper to remind Americans, that the genuine American cockade, is recognized to be Black, 'twas with this Patriotic Badge our friends and relatives, fought and gained our Independence, and for the honour of our country it is hoped that there are but few Americans to be found base enough to wear any other.
AMERICAN COCKADE.

Federal Meeting.
AT a large and respectable meeting of the Federal Republicans of the City of Philadelphia convened, at Dunwoody's on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of a Legislative appointment of electors of a President and Vice President of the United States, at the approaching election. THOMAS FITZSIMONS, was called to the chair. And GRIFFITH EVANS, chosen Secretary.
On motion ordered that a committee of seven report forthwith a communication to be addressed to the Senators from this district.
Whereupon,
Thomas Fitzsimons, Wm. Rawle, William Lewis, Joseph Hopkinson, John Hallowell, James Milnor, and Charles W. Hare Esqs. were appointed, who having withdrawn for sometime, returned to the meeting, and reported the following Resolutions, which being read and considered were unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting the appointment of Electors of President and Vice-President of the United States, is a matter of high constitutional obligation and ought in all possible cases to be carefully and faithfully performed. But the manner of executing this duty will prove inadequate and delusory, unless the powers en-
trusted to the Legislature by the people are strictly adhered to. The constitution of the State defining the powers, prefers the rule by which the public representatives are to act, and to deviate from what is thus prescribed, is to disobey both the constitution of the State and of the United States. To the latter, no obedience can be valid if the act of the Legislature is unsupported by the former, and in presenting a nominal list of citizens unauthorized on constitutional principles to perform the functions of Electors, the Legislature might, perhaps, evince its desire to fulfil its obligations without succeeding in the attempt, and infringe one constitution without obeying the other. After long and mature consideration with the best information that the best citizens among us could obtain, the Senate of Pennsylvania was declared to be a component part of our Legislature, and the people have found in this system, the security and stability which till then had been deficient in our national councils. What the voice of the people has created, the voice of the people alone can destroy, and until by equal authority the present constitution of Pennsylvania shall be altered in this part of its foundations, the Senate must still be considered as a component part of the Legislature. In all instances except where the constitution itself expressly directs otherwise, the powers and duties of the Senate are exercised as a corporate body, the members of which cannot in their functions unite with the members of any other body. In two cases only, the members of the Senate are required to perform certain acts jointly with the members of the House of Representatives and thus by rational and necessary inference in all others, the functions of each must be separately exercised, communicating with each other, only as corporate persons, where concurrence is necessary.
Upon an opposite system, the utility and effect of the Senate, would be destroyed; the number of the members of the other house would always enable them to prevail over the voice of the Senate; and it would soon become a matter of indifference to the people, to preserve the form of two legislative bodies, when in effect and operation they were blended into one.
When, by the Constitution of the United States, the duties, now in question were devolved upon the direction of the legislatures of the several States, it is obvious, that it was expected in the first instance, that the legislatures were only to direct, in what manner their constituents should appoint the electors.
Since however electors chosen immediately by the legislatures in other parts of the union have been considered as constitutionally appointed, it is now unseasonable, and unnecessary, to discuss the validity of this construction of the general constitution.
But while the present impossibility of appointing electors by the voice of the people is conceded and regretted, we deem it our duty to refrain from sacrificing the constitution of Pennsylvania to our zeal for obeying that of the United States.
Where they cannot stand together, the former must give way; but we need not seek for occasions to prostrate it without necessity.
In submitting to the present exigence and approving of a legislative choice of electors, we cannot approve of making that choice in any other than a constitutional manner.
There is too much reason to believe, that a joint vote would, on this occasion, be little more than authorizing the House of Representatives alone, to make the choice, and thus in substance only a part of the Legislature would do what the constitution of the United States requires to be done by the whole.
By such a measure the will and authority of the people would be disobeyed, although half their confidence has been reposed in the Senate, the whole would be assumed by the House of Representatives, and the same arguments which would justify this invasion of our charter, might with facility be applied to the making laws and performing every other public duty.
It is therefore only by a concurrent vote that the sense of the people in the choice of electors can be constitutionally conveyed. They have given no other powers, and the Corporation of Philadelphia might with as much justice and propriety undertake to appoint electors, as the unauthorized and nameless junction of the members of both Houses.
The fervor of party may occasionally prompt to measures the consequences of which it declines to calculate;—but we trust that there will remain among our political opponents some calm and temperate minds, who will long deliberate before they infringe a fundamental principle of the constitution; who will remember that precedents leading to evade, or disobey the sense of their constituents, may terminate in mischief which they did not intend, and ruin which they cannot avert.
Resolved, That the preceding Resolution be retransmitted to the Senators from the District composed of the City and County of Philadelphia, and County of Delaware, as the sense of many of their constituents on the important subject now before them—Which Resolutions being read, were unanimously adopted.
By order of the Meeting, THOS. FITZSIMONS, Chairman Attest, G. EVANS, Secretary.
