PROSPECTUS Of a New and Entertaining Library  Select and Entertaining Novels; Or, NOVELIST'S POCKET LIBRARY;
Printed to convenient size, that a volume may be carried in each pocket without the least inconvenience; being an agreeable travelling companion, affording amusement in the garden, the field, or the shady bower, and forming a valuable collection of Novels and Tales, written by the most approved authors, particularly
  Fielding  Sterne  Marmontel  Cervantes    Smollett  Goldsmith  Rateliffe  Rousseau    Richardson  Brookes  Hawkesworth  Le Sage, &c.  
To commence with the 1st volume of the celebrated novel entitled The Mysteries of Udolpho , by the author of The Romance of the Forest , &c. &c. embellished with a beautiful engraved Frontispiece representing an interesting scene in the above, elegantly gilt, at only 75 cents.
These select Novels shall be printed in handsome octodecimo pocket volumes, on good type and paper, and with a delicate new Bourgeois type on purpose for the work, by which means the pages will be uncommonly comprehensive; each volume containing in quantity a duodecimo, and sometimes an octavo volume, printed verbatim from the original copies. In addition to the elegance of the typography, each volume will be embellished with a beautiful engraved frontispiece, representing the most interesting scene that occurs in the respective volume.
A volume will be published regularly every three weeks and delivered to subscribers neatly and uniformly bound and gilt, at only three-fourths of a dollar each, to be paid upon delivery. If a sufficient number of subscribers are procured, the work will be put to press some time in August, and a volume published every three weeks in regular succession. The encouragers of this work may rely upon every possible attention being paid to ensure elegance in the engravings, neatness and correctness in the printing, and uniformity in the binding, the whole being done under the immediate tendency of the publishers.
Subscribers may withdraw and recommence their subscriptions at pleasure, so as to confine their choice to as few of the Novels as they think proper, or extend their collection to the whole that are printed, which will comprise only those high by approved novels which have been stamped with universal approbation.
  The Mysteries of Udolpho  Humphrey Clinker    Romance of the Forest  Amelia    Sicilian Romance  Gil Blas    Castle of Otranto  Peregrine Pickle    Old Manor House  Don Quixote    Sidney Castle  Adventures of a Guinea    Defender  Launcelot Graves    Family Party  The Sifters    Tales of the Castle  Don Quixote    Cecilia; or, The Memoirs of an Heiress  Count Fathom    Evelina; or, a young lady's entrance into the world  Almon and Hame    American Hunter  Soymann and Almena    Theodosius and Constantia  Tales of the Genii    Chinese Tales  Moral Tales    Anna St. Ives  Fool of Quality    Tom Jones  Arabian Nights Entertainments    Frier of Walsfeld  Arabian Tales, a continuation of the Arabian Nights    Joseph Andrews  Julia, or the New Eloisa    Adventures of Roderick Random  Pamela    Tristram Shandy  Clarissa Harlowe    Robinson Crusoe  Sir Charles Grandison  
The publisher has not yet determined upon the arrangement in which the above novels shall appear; being determined to add and intermix other novels of equal celebrity, altho' he is conscious, that by comparing the above list with all former collections of this nature, the superiority of the present collection will appear obvious. British editors must necessarily exclude from their plans, all the new and entertaining novels that have been wrote within these last fourteen years, most of them being literary property.
For further particulars see the PROSPECTUS at large which are to be had gratis of Thomas Condie, Book-binder, No. 20, Carter's alley, fourth second, below Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where orders and subscribers will be thankfully received.

Extract of a letter from Virginia, dated June 15. "It gives me sincere pleasure to assure you that the appropriations for the British treaty have met with the hearty concurrence of almost all the citizens of this state, saving those who are in consequence of the appropriations obliged to "render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's," and to disgorge an enormous load of money that they have enjoyed the top credulous British merchants out of. When this old score is wiped away, you will hear no more of the republican pre-eminence of Virginia. She will maintain with modesty a very respectable political character in the Union, and I trust our future representatives, should they continue to vote in phalanx, will be a well-trained legion in the service of order and good government."
The members of the American Philosophical Society are requested to attend the funeral of Doct. DAVID RITTENHOUSE, from his late dwelling house, in Arch street, corner of Seventh street, this afternoon, at 6 o'clock.
Extract of a letter dated Caymites, June 7, received by the brig Nymph, Capt. Sullivan, arrived at the fort.
"The Brigands have adopted a new mode of warfare, which from its destructive consequences on our part, bids fair to be successful on theirs. This is, to penetrate to our habitations avoiding the great roads, and bye paths, and consequently all our formidable posts and camps, and thus dash in among us, when lulled in security, we are in the arms of sleep, and when alas, that sleep is one death. Several inhabitants in their beds have been murdered, their houses robbed, and their strong healthy negroes driven away; so recently as three days since, a gentleman whose custom it was to sleep late, was murdered at table, by a bayonet plunged into his breast, and what is wonderful, his wife and infant just returned from Baltimore, escaped in the woods. We are in continual alarm; at present there are parties out every day, and at night the planters rendezvous at one place, to repose."
ABBE RAYNAL.
The following Memoir of this Philosopher, was read at the last meeting of the National Institution of Arts and Sciences at Paris.
William Thomas Raynal was an Elève of the Jesuits, and had even entered into their order. He was there captivated with the love of letters.
His first works, however, were not worthy of his last, or of his fame. In his "History of the Parliament of England," and in that of "the Stadtholder," there is nothing remarkable but the affected brilliancy of his style and the loftiness of his pretensions. We there see merely the painter—the philosopher had not then an existence!
A more estimable work of Raynal, but which does not bear his name, and which he did not avow until long after his success was established, is "The History of the Divorce of Catherine of Aragon, and Henry VIII." He dwells but little on the anecdote which furnishes the title. It is, in fact, a picture of Europe at that period, and drawn by a masterly hand.
For twenty years Raynal apparently ceased to write. But he lived for that interval in habits of intimacy with philosophers, whose enlightened courage was forming the age in which they lived to the love of liberty. He published soon after his "Political and Philosophical History of the European commerce in the two Indies."
His friends were said to have had a considerable share in this work. But the bold transitions, the enlarged views, and the high tone of character, undoubtedly belong to Raynal.
He was persecuted for this work, but at the same time with a sort of moderation. The parliament who passed the decree against him caused him to be informed of the proceeding, and he made a timely retreat. It was in this same year that Beccaria was received at Paris, a man who had not more of hardihood, nor less of philosophy, than Raynal.
He retired to the dominions of the King of Prussia, who had been rather ill-treated in his book. He was, however, extremely well received. Frederick conversed with him for more than two hours tête-à-tête , and on his departure said, "I have been discoursing with Providence."
The Empress of Russia also shewed him several marks of regard.
He was also well received by the parliament of England. When it was known that Raynal was in the gallery, the deliberation was interrupted, and the Commons ordered him an honorable situation.
Good deeds are completion of good writings. Of the former Raynal was the author of many. In this respect he was extremely meritorious. He loved glory, and this led him to make several establishments surpassing the means of an individual. He raised on an island in the lake of Bicum, a monument to the founders of Helvetic liberty. He gave an annuity of 12,000 livres to the academy of arts and sciences: 12,000 to the French academy; 12,000 to that of Lyons; 12,000 to that of Mar-seilles; and 12,000 to the society of agriculture, to be given away in prizes.
This man, so liberal, saw his fortune afterwards deranged by the circumstances of the revolution. He died in comparative poverty.
He was occupied in preparing a new edition of his works, which was to vary in a great degree from that which is now before the public.
METAPHYSICS.
If the mind could be laid on a table and cut up, like the carcass of a dead criminal under the surgeon's knife, the anatomy of mind would be a much finer book than Chefielden's. But metaphysicians, I am convinced that if I could see Pythagoras he would clap me on the back for the allusion, were once spiders and still, in other shapes, crawl about closets and obscure places and cover them with cobwebs. The knowledge of our better part as it is vulgarly called, would be undoubtedly nobler than an acquaintance with the habits of animals or
the properties of plants. But neither John Locke nor Dr. Reid of Glasgow knew any thing about mind. The former of them who talks erroneously of memory and was destitute of imagination had no judgment to discern the fallibility of metaphysicks. Could such a deficient mind pry into the darkest recesses? This man was a commissioner of trade and plantations. If he had added one barrel of tar to Plymouth dockyard, or stowed a single box of haberdashery on board a vessel bound to Nova-Scotia it were better than to write a million of "Essays" upon unknowables and unsearchables.

AMHERST, JUNE 18.
The Hon. Jeremiah Smith, Esq. has returned from Congress.—On Wednesday, the Judges of the Common Pleas, then sitting, the Grand Jury, gentlemen of the Bar, and a number of respectable citizens, met, and presented the subsequent address. After its delivery, an entertainment was provided, which closed with a full complement of toasts evincive of the "undiminished confidence" of our citizens in their Representative, and the unshaken federalism of the State.
To the Hon. JEREMIAH SMITH, Esq.
Sir, It is with singular pleasure we congratulate you on your return from our National Councils. Language can hardly express the satisfaction we feel in the part you have taken. When our peace, happiness, and prosperity were at hazard; when our national honor was tottering and in imminent danger of being sacrificed; when discord, anarchy, and war, with all their horrors, were entering upon the peaceful borders of America; your patriotic exertions were not wanting to rescue her from a situation so humiliating and distressing. Accept, Sir, our most cordial thanks. Long may you participate in that happiness, so honorably and substantially secured to your fellow citizens.
Mr. SMITH'S ANSWER.
Gentlemen, I receive, with the most lively sensibility, the address you have been pleased to present to me. In the part I have acted, during the last session of Congress, I claim no merit. It was impossible not to feel deeply interested in measures which involved the peace, prosperity, and the honor of our country. I rejoice with you in the event, and have only to regret that my abilities bore so little proportion to my zeal. If I have, in the smallest degree contributed to promote the real interests of the people I represent, next to the consciousness of having endeavored to do my duty, I consider your approbation as the best reward. For the obliging expressions in your address, which regard myself, I sincerely thank you, gentlemen, and most cordially unite with you in praying that the freedom and prosperity of our happy country may be perpetual.

From DOMINIQUE, May 28.
This day news arrived of the complete capture of St. Lucia, by the English—after suffering great loss. The French (whites) were few in number, and are to be sent home. The Mulattoes are to be tried by a Court Martial—The Blacks to be sold for the benefit of the English army—and all the English who had joined the patriots, are to be shot.

PARIS, April 21.
The commissioners with the army of Italy to the executive directory.
Citizens—The army of Italy has opened the campaign, and that with success truly calculated to strike an impression on the coalesced powers.
You have been already instructed that a division had been advanced to Voltri, six leagues from Genoa. General Buonaparte, whom I informed of the fact on his arrival, perceived in this disposition of the troops, executed some days before, the means of a diversion capable of surprising the enemy.
He thought it useful with this view, to leave this division at Voltri, in order to draw general Beaulieu upon the heights, and to turn his flank, while he should advance against these troops at Voltri; this design was presently verified. Gen. Beaulieu advanced a body of 15,000 men on the heights of Montone, which he commanded in person, having under him generals Argenteau and Roccarivina.
On the 20th instant the division of the Bonera pushed their reconnoitering to St. Pierre d'Arant, and on the 21st attacked with 6,000 men the brigade of Voltri, who under the command of general Cervoni made, though greatly inferior in number, an honourable resistance; completely evacuated the magazines, and executed in the night, and unknown to the enemy, their retreat to Savona in good order, protected by 1500 men that general Buonaparte had placed for the purpose on the heights of Veraggio, and at the avenues of Saffello.
In the interval, 1500 men had been placed in the redoubt of Montenotte, to resist the enemy if they should attack them. This redoubt was attacked on the 22nd of Germ. by an Austrian force commanded by general Roccarivina, who believing that he should be able to force this post, intended afterwards to advance to Savona, in order to cut off the retreat of the 5000 men of Voltri and of Veraggio.
Three times the enemy attacked this redoubt, and three times they were repulsed with the greatest vigor; they were obliged to abandon it after they had lost 400 men killed and wounded, among whom were one colonel, two lieutenant-colonels, a great number of officers, and gen. Roccarivina himself was wounded, according to all accounts, mortally.
There was no doubt but that on the 23rd, the enemy would have tried a new attack on this redoubt with fresh troops. General Buonaparte took measures accordingly; he gave orders to gen. La Harpe to take post upon this height, while he should himself attack the enemy that were in front of the redoubt; and he ordered general Massena to march with all diligence in the night, to take a position in the rear of the enemy.
We all set out from Savona at two o'clock in the morning towards Altari. The attack took place at break of day at Montenotte. The Austrians were vigorously attacked by the division of general La Harpe, and while they were flying general Massena having taken them on the left wing, they were put into such complete disorder, that they lost 3,500 men, of whom 2,000 are made prisoners, and among these are one col. the Aid de Camp of Argenteau, and about 60 officers. The enemy were afterwards pursued in all directions, and here we are arrived at Carcari, masters of the surrounding heights, and of Cairas, which they have been obliged to abandon to us.
General Buonaparte will make known to you the details of the traits of bravery that have signalized this day. I content myself with saying, that the plan of the commander in chief could not have been more wisely concerted, and that all generals, officers, and soldiers, have manifested a courage and an ardour truly heroic. Health and Fraternity.

From the Norfolk Herald of June 18.
Messrs. Willett, & O'Connor,
Cape Charles.
ONCE more upon this peaceful coast am I arrived from foreign climes, transported by the winds of Heaven in my well constructed car, attended by my faithful Eagle;—charged to relate the grand affairs transacted on the Rhine by the embittered foes at war, on whom the eyes of all the world are fixed and whose ears are open to drink the transient rumors of their fearful deeds. But I come not with the tongue of rumor only to report, but to report such things as truth will evidence, and such as, to which the mind penetrated with their probability, will yield assent. And who can paint the bloody battle that has just occurred, but him who saw the fertile plains of the Palatinate drenched with human gore issued from the lifeless carcasses of thirty thousand men? Dreadful was the fight, sixteen thousand Austrians, and fourteen thousand Frenchmen bit the dust. On the second day of the battle the French lines were forced near Creutzenach with great slaughter; the right wing of the French army, however, gained some advantage, and held a post of the Austrians, that night, but on the following morning were obliged to retreat to the main body of the army; a truce of four days was agreed on to bury their dead. The number opposed to each other in this battle were in favor of the French, and the courage of the Austrians was extreme in keeping their ground against the first attack of the main body of the enemy commanded by Jourdan, which advanced to the charge with more cool bravery and less enthusiasm than usual. Two regiments of Austrian cavalry by a very skillful maneuvre, cut to pieces a large body of French light armed infantry, and regained their position in the right wing with little loss. Some General Officers have fallen on both sides, but no artillery worth noticing have been taken by either, nor any material advantage gained in position. General Clairfayt and Col. Mack are with the army, appointed by the Emperor as part of a Council to direct the operations of this campaign.
Pichegru whose military glory is checked in its career by the jealousy of the Directory, because of his influence with the army, has not been removed but with the utmost caution to avoid the appearance of disgrace. Disapprobation was even more than that inconsistent body of men dared to shew to him; they know him to be brave, honest, and capable, and to be beloved by his soldiers. But what is the consequence of his removal? The army is dissatisfied; their nerves are unstrung; their ardor for battle is cooled; their wish for peace is increased and finding no hope of the latter, they desert their colors. So much for the success of the direction of this weak and wicked Directory. Pichegru knows their instability of favor or justice to real merit, and heartily despises them; yet he loves his country. He is now sent to Sweden, purposely to incite the young king to take up arms against his haughty and designing enemy the Empress; but he will not succeed, nor does he wish to succeed, for he knows that it is not the interest of France that Sweden should. Both Denmark and Sweden will exhibit less in their warlike equipments, this, than they did last year, and have good reason for it. The triple compact may frighten more nations than those, and some who are hitherto removed; and however great the influence may appear to the uninformed, which the French have had lately in the Turkish cabinet, yet, Sir, you may believe that the Turks are neither able or inclined to undertake a war against Russia, wherein they can promise to themselves neither a recovery of that territory they have lost or conquest over more. Nor do they who are arbitrary in their own government, wish to encourage the notions of equality adopted by the French nation; the truth is they wish to have nothing to do with the French.
The Empress and the king of Prussia have been long assiduous in the scheme of deluding the French by absurd proposals of peace, and vague objections to their offers, purposely to gain time in the equipment of formidable armaments against France. Nothing has been less in the thoughts of England and Austria than making peace this summer, for why should they despair of success with such wealth and power united, and with the aid of Prussia and Russia which they will assuredly have? Russia has already marched fifty thousand men towards the scene of action, and completely equipped nine more full of the line and eleven heavy brigades. Prussia has sixty-five thousand men, not only to defend its barriers but to act offensively on the first good success of the Austrians, and to aid the prince of Orange, who is now mustering his adherents from the United Provinces, and expects to be joined by a very formidable number to recover his former consequence. In the country adjacent to the Rhine the Austrian peasants are armed with pikes and swords, and more than thirty thousand of them attend the main army, ready to act on any favorable occasion either by flight or disaster of the French. The Emperor has solemnly declared he will never
make concession to the ambitious proposals of the French Government.
Those who have expected peace to take place on the terms proposed by the French will never hear it confirmed, and those who have ardently wished their aggrandizement will be disappointed.
The changes in dominion which have been concerted between Russia, Prussia, Austria and England cannot be effected probably in less than 5 years. If we live that term, we shall see the powers of Europe fixed nearly thus: France within its own proper domains before the revolution, and deprived of many of its foreign possessions. Prussia enlarged by a territory of the Netherlands contiguous to its late acquisition. The United Provinces increased to a kingdom under the Orange family, by an addition of part of the same country. Turkey, in Europe added to the overgrown dominion of Russia, effected by the joint endeavor of the three allied continental powers. Hanover guaranteed to Great Britain, by the addition of a Hanse town or two, and every other Hanse town on the continent deprived of its privileges by that monarch to whom it may be ceded. Thus, Sir, you perceive there can be no prospect of peace this year, and that the mischievous principles of an impetuous nation has brought on a war and fermented by their depraved rulers, blown a flame so fierce in its rage as not to be readily extinguished.
Great Britain, though strong in her wealth and naval force, finds enough to do to preserve the balance of war in her favor, nor are the services of her navy in the captures they make, adequate to the expense thereof. Were her enemies better able to meet her boldly on the ocean, a decisive victory would stand high to her advantage as was the case on the ever memorable first of June, 1794, but she is now only pestered with privateers. The weak condition of the enemy afloat, occasions murmurs in the British seamen, who all wish to meet their match, the policy of Mr. Pitt may, perhaps soon throw another enemy into the scale that will yield more profit to them—the Spaniard; who is much averse to a war, his coffers being low, his foreign subjects ready to mutiny, and dreading above all the heroic bravery and conduct of the British sailors.
Dispatch, my Eagle, and the western gale will waft me to the eastern shores of the wide Atlantic, where I shall behold terrific scenes, progressive in their evils, concomitant with war, scenes, which, alas! are soon to be exemplified in the highest arrangement of earthly disorder, at the metropolis of the wretched new republic of France.
PHILIPPO DE SYLVIE.
June 6, 1796.
From the Connecticut Gazette.
The preservation of the health of individuals of the community, being of the utmost consequence to the public, and the happiness of private families, leads me to request you to publish the following.
A number of workmen employed a few days since at one place, being taken with a violent vomiting and pain in their bowels with other symptoms, one of whom was so ill that his life was nearly despaired of, led us to suspect that they by some means, either in their diet or drink, had taken poison. After some consideration it was concluded the poison must be in a hoghead of rum lately imported from Demarara, from which they had been supplied with grog. The hoghead was immediately stopped, and application made to gentlemen conversant with chemical process; but it not being usual to poison rum, as is the case sometimes with wine, to correct its acidity; no mode occurred to them. An accident however discovered a process which fully ascertained the deleterious quality in the rum; mixing some rum from a cask, which had been colored with logwood, with the suspected rum it immediately turned it black. This proved that the rum was highly charged with verdigrease, the poisonous qualities of which two men have by carelessness in using copper utensils for culinary and other purposes, felt the baneful effects. It is conjectured that in this instance it was occasioned by neglecting to clean the copper still, through which the rum passed in the course of distillation. It will be well for the purchasers, and particularly for all retailers of rum, to prove it pure, by the simple process here recommended, of pouring a little of the extract of logwood into a proof glass of rum; if pure it will give it a handsome color, but if impregnated with verdigrease it will immediately turn black or blackish in proportion to the quantity of the verdigrease it contains. A question now occurs, whether the verdigrease can, by any process, be extracted from the rum, or precipitated to the bottom, so as to leave the rum pure? The following experiment was tried, which appears fully to answer the purpose; but the writer not having made the study, wishes some gentlemen would try this and other experiments, and give the result to the public. In this instance extract of logwood was mixed with the rum which turned it quite black, then milk well skimmed was added to it, and well mixed, which immediately destroyed the black color; and after settling the rum entirely clear, was poured off, and extract of logwood added to it, which did not change the color in the least degree to a black hue, only giving it a handsome color, such as is generally preferred. Thus it is thought the evil may be easily discovered, and a remedy is provided.

From the New-York Gazette.
Friends and Fellow Citizens, Mr. BLANCHARD, the famous and much celebrated balloonist, who is now in this city, having very politely given me the preference (not withholding several applications have been made, one of which was from a lady) to accompany him in his 46th voyage, I accept the invitation with pleasure, and shall be proud to add one American citizen to the catalogue of aerial adventurers, as it will afford me an opportunity of gratifying my countrymen with an account of our voyage, and of the discoveries we may be fortunate enough to make.
Our ascension will be from the ground bordering on Broadway, near alderman Bayard's, belonging to Col. Walker, who has very politely offered the same. It is a beautiful situation, and the inclosure will be sufficiently spacious to contain at least six thousand persons, with elevated seats for the accommodation of the ladies.
The subscription lists are left at many houses in the city; and it will be found, on examining the same that many of the most respectable citizens have generously patronized the undertaking, some of whom have offered to double their subscription if found necessary.
The subscriber will do himself the pleasure, with all convenient speed, to call on his fellow citizens for subscriptions to promote this grand and magnificent flight, the expence of which will require several thousand dollars. Sixty thousand weight of materials will be necessary to fill the balloon with air, it is of so great size. As soon as 3000 tickets are subscribed for, the tickets will be prepared and delivered to the subscribers at one dollar each. Privileges that each possessor of a ticket will enjoy.
After the balloon is suspended in the inclosure, each possessor of a ticket will have free access to the same, for at least fourteen days before the ascension at least two hours in the forenoon, and two in the afternoon, and have an opportunity of examining the balloon, and all the necessary apparatus for filling and embarking the same, which will be a most pleasing gratification to the beholders.
Mr. Blanchard and myself will be at the Museum from Monday next the 17th inst. to Monday the 11th of July, and will be happy to have communications with any gentleman, respecting any philosophical experiments, or meteorological observations that can or may be made, during the voyage: or any communications will be thankfully received, in writing. It is intended to take several small living animals from the menagerie, and discharge them at different heights, with parachutes, without their receiving any damage.

SIR,
The citizens of Annapolis, fully sensible of your many excellent and amiable qualities, view with concern your approaching departure for Europe, altho' they derive consolation from an appointment, which is the more honorable because unsolicited, and promises advantage and benefit to our country, from a knowledge of your abilities and integrity.
Flattered by a selection of talents from among ourselves; confident that the public expectation will not be disappointed, and knowing that your patriotism and virtues will be more useful and conspicuous in proportion as the sphere of your action is increased, We your fellow citizens, regretting your absence, anxiously wish you health and happiness during your continuance in Europe, and an honorable and safe return to your native state; and remain,
With respect and esteem,
Your warm and sincere
FRIENDS.
Annapolis, 16th June.
GENTLEMEN, I have received with a degree of sensibility which no ordinary occasion could excite, the address of my fellow citizens, which you did me the favor to present to me.
To be honored with so flattering an evidence of approbation by those whose good opinion I have ever been peculiarly solicitous to cultivate, and under whose immediate notice I have acted from my infant years to the present moment, is more grateful to my feelings than I am able to express.
The pleasing assurance that persons so truly respectable interest themselves in my happiness, when I can no longer contribute my feeble efforts to the promotion of their's, is calculated to lessen that anxiety which I cannot wholly subdue, on the eve of my departure from my country and my friends.
Permit me, gentlemen, thro' you, to make my grateful acknowledgements to the citizens of Annapolis for this valuable mark of their attention, and to express my sincere and ardent wishes for the general prosperity of the city, and the individual felicity of its inhabitants.
I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, with sentiments of Great respect, and unfeigned regard, Your most humble servant, WM. PINKNEY. James Williams and Samuel H. Howard Esqrs.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, April 27.
Already the campaign has commenced in Italy, and the Austro Sardinian army has experienced two severe defeats, in which they lost killed, wounded, and prisoners, 14,500 men, besides their baggage, cannon and stores. On the Rhine every thing is in motion, and, according to our present accounts, it would appear that the Austrians mean to strike the first blow in that quarter.
There seems hardly a doubt but that the Empress is on the eve of applying those resources which she has hitherto been nursing, while her neighbours were exhausting themselves in the war against France, in carrying into effect some one or more of her grand schemes of ambition. Sweden dreads the blow, and is preparing with energy for the contest.
The Porte too seems aware that the ambitious Catherine will only keep within those limits which her own crafty prudence may dictate to her, and that nothing is to be trusted to existing treaties.
Spain, it would also appear, is alarmed for the consequences. On Monday last Mr. Clavering arrived from Spain, and brought dispatches from the Marquis of Bute. The report is that the Catholic King has intimated to our court that he cannot see with indifference the plan of aggrandizement meditated by the Empress of Russia, in the unprovoked attack which she makes on the Ottoman Porte; an attack which strikes at the foundation of all the relations of peace and amity, between neighbouring states; and which he shall feel it his duty to resist by every effort within his power, in which he has no doubt but he will be seconded by his Britannic Majesty.
The letters by the Corunna mail which arrived yesterday, state, that the most powerful preparations for war are going on throughout that kingdom from one side to the other. Cadiz, Malaga, and Barcelona are all full of ships of war; and troops from all sides are pouring down towards Gibraltar. How is this to be reconciled with the rumour that the court of Spain wishes to act in any one point in concert with his country? Or even with another report mentioned in some of the letters from Corunna, that Spain means to maintain an armed neutrality? Let our ministers be upon their guard not to be imposed upon. We state on good authority that France has offered to put Spain in possession of Gibraltar and Jamaica, on condition that she breaks with Great Britain, and join the Republicans in an active war.
PARIS, 1 Floreal, April 20.
A report is in circulation, that the King of Verona (Louis XVIII.) is at the point of death in consequence of the drying up of his issues. Perlet.
April 25.
The utmost tranquillity prevails in this capital. The promissory notes or Mandats are in considerable circulation; and on this account the tradesmen sell for assignats only. They refuse to fix the price in specie, unless paid in advance, for fear they should have Mandats forced on them instead of hard cash. Our letters from Brittany state that such has been the effect there of the capture of Charlotte, that two men, armed with sticks only, might go safely from Pontenay to Nantes. There was no other employment for the soldiers except to apprehend the emigrants, almost all of them disguised as labourers.
To facilitate the communication of the opposite banks of the Rhine, two new bridges of boats have been thrown over it in the neighbourhood of Dusseldorf and Eyersweert. The army of the right, commanded by general Lefebvre, is at present 40,000 strong, and it will in a few days amount to 50,000 effective men.
THE SPANISH AMBASSADOR AT PARIS.
From the Official Journal of the Directory.
The Marquis del Campo, ambassador from Spain, has been to the Theatre National des Arts. The liveries of his footmen, the ribbon which he wore, and whole colour, recalled to mind that which our ci-devant Princes, as dignitaries of the Order of St. Louis wore, appeared to create some astonishment among the spectators, little accustomed for a long time to those sorts of decorations, which indicate personal distinctions and privileges incompatible with the regime of Republics. Of what does not malevolence take advantage? This circumstance was sufficient for men, in whose eyes nothing is too minute that can foment disorder, to endeavour to circulate evil-reports. And supposing even that the public respect for the Ambassador of a state, which has recognised our Republic, did not interdict us from all criticism upon the nature of his costume, is it not good policy, as well as good common sense, to suffer all foreigners to follow safely their customs and laws, without employing ourselves in censuring them, since we are unwilling that they should censure our customs and laws?
Let us respect all governments and their institutions, since we are willing that our own should also be respected.—It is by such just and reserved conduct that we shall finish gloriously a war which we prosecute solely for the maintenance of our independence. It is by our wisdom within, that we shall triumph without. Every Frenchman is the depositary of the victories of the defenders of the country, and if we may use the expression, responsible for the blood which they shed upon our frontiers.—Every Frenchman then, if humanity has any power over him, must, with all his means, by his respect towards foreigners, and by his sacrifices to his country, concur in restoring, as soon as possible, that peace, the common object of our wishes and the efforts of our government.
Those who preach or profess a contrary doctrine will be justly suspected of having no other object than the continuance of a burdensome war, which the interest of our preservation renders lawful, but which, if prolonged by unjust proceedings, would at length exhaust us as well as our enemies, and might bring about the destruction of our liberty."

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the
