Late FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
Via New-York & Boston.
LONDON, July 29.
OFFICIAL.
A cartel from Dunkirk, which arrived at Dover, on Sunday, brought a telegraphic confirmation of the Armistice in Germany.
GENERAL ARMISTICE.
Convention between the Generals in chief of the French and Imperial armies in Germany, concerning an armistice between the two armies.
Victor F. Laborie, General of brigade in the army of the Rhine, and the Count de Dietrichstein, Major General in the Imperial army in Germany, charged with special powers from the Generals in chief of the two respective armies to sign the Conventions relative to an armistice between them have agreed upon what follows:
Art. 1. There shall be an armistice and suspension of hostilities between the army of his Imperial and Royal Majesty and his allies in the German Empire, in Germany, Switzerland, the Tyrol, and the Grisons, and the army of the French Republic in those countries; and the resumption of hostilities shall be preceded by a notice of 12 days, to be reckoned from the hour the ratification shall have arrived at the head quarters of the opposite army.
Art. 2. The French army shall occupy all the country comprised in a line of demarcation, which, setting out from the right bank of the Rhine, at Balzers, proceeds along the territory of the Grisons to the source of the Ill, extending to all the valley of that name, arrives at the source of the Lech, following the summit of Arlberg, descends to Renti, following the left bank of the Lech, as well as the right in the points solely in which the route passes from one bank to another, leaving the Austrian army in possession of the debouches, which arrive at the right bank, embraces Renti, passes the Seepach at Breitenwang, proceeds along the southern bank of the Lake which supplies water to Seepach, re-ascends the left of the Engthal to the source of the Ammer, descends upon the frontiers of the country of Werdenfels, which it follows upon the Loifach, on the left bank of which it is continued to the Cochee, which it traverses to arrive at Walchensee, where it crosses the Lake of that name, proceeds along the southern bank of the Jackray to its confluence with the Iser, which it crosses, and directs itself on the Weisach to Rieten; turns the Tegernsee, traverses at Gemendit, the Manquald, the left bank of which it follows to Fallay, where it takes the direction of Oblans, passes to Munder, Grais, Glan, Zerenberg, Oltendorff, Mofach, Alzing, Telting, Kosten, Grifling, Exing, Eberberg, Maissbach, Hohenelend, Kramach, Wetting, Teising, Haaberg; from thence to Iffau, Penzing, Stiemelsbach, following the Iffau to Fultern, from thence to Lenderr, where it directs itself towards the source of the Wils, which it descends on the left bank to Villibourg, where it passes that river, directs itself to Binabourg, follows the course of the Aina to Bufnach, passes at Shemenhausen, arrives at the source of the Kelpach, which descends on the left bank to its confluence with the Wils and the left of the Wils to its falling into the Danube, re-ascends the right bank of that river to Kelheim, where it passes it to proceed along the right bank of the Altmahl to Pappenheim, where it takes the route of Veilsembourg to arrive at Rednitz, the left bank which it follows to its confluence with the Mein, which it descends also on its left bank to its mouth.
The line of demarcation on the right of the Mein between that river and Dusseldorf, shall not before Mentz be nearer that place than the Nidda, and in the supposition that the French troops should have made movements in that part, they shall prefer or resume for a line that which they shall be found to occupy this day, 26 Messidor (July 15.) 1806.
Art. 3. The Imperial army shall occupy the Upper and Lower Engadine, that is to say, that part of the Grisons whose waters fall into the Inn, and the valley of St. Maria whose waters fall into the Adige.
The line of demarcation of the French army shall pass Balzers to the lake of Como by the route of Coire, Luzis, Splügen, and Chiavenna. The Luciensteig is comprised in that line.
That part of the territory of the Grisons, comprised between that line and the Engadine, shall be evacuated, and shall remain neutral between the two armies.
This country shall, besides, preserve the form of its government.
Art. 4. The places comprised in the line of demarcation which are still occupied by the Imperial troops, shall remain under all respects in the same state, which shall be ascertained by delegates named for that purpose by the Generals in Chief of the two armies. There shall be nothing added to their means of defence, and they shall not check the free navigation of the rivers, and of the communications which shall pass under their command, which is fixed at 2000 toises from the centre of the body of the place. Their provisions shall not be renewed but every ten days, and in the proportion of the regular consumption; they shall not be procured in the circuit of the counties occupied by the French army, which, on its side, shall not prevent the arrival of provisions.
Art. 5. The General in Chief of the Imperial army shall send an officer to each of these places to inform the commandant of
the conduct they have to pursue in consequence of the above-mentioned article.
Art. 6. There shall be no bridge upon the rivers which shall separate the two armies, but when they shall be crossed by the demarcation, and then only in the rear of that line, excepting, however, the particular arrangements which, in the events, should be judged necessary, either for the wants of the respective armies, or for those of commerce. The Generals in Chief of the two armies shall come to an understanding on these objects.
Art. 7. Wherever navigable rivers shall separate the two armies, the navigation whether for them or for the country, shall not be prevented by either of the two; and wherever causeways shall constitute the demarcation, they shall serve both armies for the convenience of their transports during the armistice.
Art. 8. The portion of the territory of the Empire and of the States of his Imperial Majesty, comprised in the line of demarcation of the French army, is placed under the safe guard of his loyalty for the maintenance of property, and of the present forms of government of the people. The inhabitants of this country shall not be molested on account of services rendered to the Imperial army, or for political opinions, nor for having taken an active part in this war.
Art. 9. The Convention shall be sent with speed to all the commanders of corps of troops in the two armies, in order that, not only hostilities shall be suspended immediately, but that the carrying into execution may be begun immediately, and finish at the period absolutely necessary with respect to distances. Officers of the Etat Major shall be particularly charged respectively, to determine upon the ground the demarcation of the limits for the points where their establishment might leave some doubt.
Art. 10. There shall be no communication between the advanced posts of the two armies.

July 29.
It is reported that the English Minister at the Court of Sweden, has left Stockholm, without being indulged with an interview with the King.
The coalition of the four great northern powers, seems to require daily more consistency.
On Friday evening his Majesty's ships the Nemesis, Terpsichore, Le Prevoyante, the Arrow and Nile lugger, fell in with the Franda, a Danish Frigate, having under convoy two ships, two brigs, and two gallots. The Nemesis hailed her, and said she would send her boat on board the convoy. The Danish commander replied, that if she attempted it he would fire into the boat. The Nemesis's boat was then lowered down, with four men and a midshipman in her, ready to go on board the convoy; the Danish frigate immediately fired several shot, which, missing the boat, struck the Nemesis and killed one man. The Nemesis immediately gave the Dane a broad-side, when a most spirited action took place, which lasted about 25 minutes, at the end of which time the Danish frigate being crippled in her rigging and hull, struck her colours. Two men were killed and several wounded on board the Arrow; and 8 killed and a great number wounded on board the Dane. The Danish frigate and convoy was brought into the Downs on Saturday, but no shore boats are allowed to go alongside, nor are the Danes allowed any communication with the shore. The Telegraph was immediately set to work, and in the evening Capt. Baker, of the Nemesis, set off in a post-chaise and four, to wait upon the admiralty. He arrived in town yesterday morning.
Orders have since reached Deal, for our cruisers to capture all ships and vessels sailing under Danish colours.
August 4.
From the opposition made by two Danish frigates, in two different quarters, to have their convoys searched by our cruisers, there seems but too much reason for concluding that the Northern Powers have come to a determination to resist our maritime superiority. Ministers have therefore pitched upon Lord Whitworth to go to Copenhagen to enter into explanations with the Court of Denmark. Lord Whitworth, from his situation at the Court of Peterburgh, has had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the views, the interests, and the intrigues of the Northern Powers, and he will therefore be enabled to apply himself the more successfully to those feelings from which the late measures of Denmark proceed.
July 26.
The Minister of the Northern Powers are about to assemble at Peterburgh, for the supposed purpose of concluding on the armed neutrality.
RUSSIA
A Dresden Journal says, That Paul I. has demanded of the Emperor of Germany, 1,500,000 rubles, as an indemnification for his expenses in the last campaign, and has declared, that if they are refused, he will take possession of Galicia.
The Russian Ambassador and all Russians are called from Constantinople; and the correspondence between that city and Vienna has been intercepted.
KING'S SPEECH.
ON THE PROLOGATION OF PARLIAMENT THIS DAY
My Lords and Gentlemen,
In putting an end to this laborious Session of Parliament, I must express the just sense I entertain of the diligence and perseverance with which you have applied yourselves to the various objects of public concern which came under your deliberation. It is with particular satisfaction I congratulate you on the success of the steps which you have taken for effecting an entire Union between my Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland.
This great measure, on which my wishes have been long earnestly bent, I shall ever consider as the happiest event of my reign, being persuaded that nothing could so effectually contribute to extend to my Irish Subjects the full participation of the blessings derived from the British Constitution, and to establish, on the most solid foundation, the strength, prosperity, and power of the whole Empire.
I have witnessed with great concern the severe pressure on my people from the continued scarcity of the season; but I trust that, under the blessing of Providence, there is now every reason to expect the approaching Harvest will afford a speedy and effectual relief.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons, I return you my particular thanks for the zeal and liberality with which you have provided for the various exigencies of the public service. I regret deeply the necessity of these repeated sacrifices on the part of my Subjects; but they have been requisite for the preservation of our dearest interests, and it is a great consolation to observe, that, notwithstanding the continuance of unusual burdens, the revenue, commerce, and resources of the country have flourished beyond all former example, and are still in a state of progressive augmentation.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
The course of the campaign upon the Continent has, by a sudden reverse, disappointed the sanguine hopes which the situation of affairs at its commencement appeared fully to justify, and has unhappily again exposed a considerable part of Europe to those calamities and dangers from which it had recently been rescued by the brilliant success of my Allies.
Much as the events are to be regretted, it will always be matter of just satisfaction to me to reflect, that in the course of this important contest, my efforts, and those of my Parliament, have been unremittingly employed for the maintenance of our own rights and interests, and for the animating and supporting the exertion of other powers in defending the liberties of Europe.
Notwithstanding the vicissitude of war, your constancy and firmness have been productive of the most important and lasting advantages in the general situation of affairs and the determination manifested in your recent declarations and conduct, must afford me the best means of promoting, in conjunction with my Allies, the general interests, and of providing under every circumstance for the honour of my crown, for the happiness of my Subjects, and for the security and welfare of every part of the British Empire.
Scene of War in Germany.
H. & Fr. Army, Hockelst, July 13.
The Austrians attacked us yesterday on our whole line. The battle lasted all day; and was very bloody. Finally we defeated them, and took 200 prisoners and two pieces of cannon. We had 200 wounded, and as many killed or made prisoners. The Polish soldiers, among the French, gave no quarters.
RATISBON, July 15.
Yesterday an action took place near Landshut, in which the Archduke Ferdinand was obliged to retreat. In the night he received a reinforcement of cavalry and infantry from General Klenau, and marched towards Straubing.
The French continue to drive the Austrians; the former are now within a league of this city. An armistice alone can preserve us from the enemy.
MANHEIM, July 12.
Before the armistice between the Armies of Generals Kray and Moreau could be made known, the following telegraphic dispatch was forwarded from Basle, on the 16th from Strasbourg to Paris:
"The right wing of the French Army has taken Feldkirch, Coire, Luciensteig, and the whole of the Grisons."
Before the conclusion of the armistice, divisions of the French likewise advanced on the 14th to Weinberg, Heilbronn and other places on the Neckar. The Courier who lately passed through Strasbourg to Paris, has, it is said, given out, that the Court of Vienna was willing to enter into negotiations for Peace with France.
AUGSBURG, July 17.
Since the 14th, the French have been masters of Feldkirch, Coire, and the whole of the Grisons. Gen. Lecourbe had repulsed the Austrians near Reuti and Immenstadt, and took the bold resolution to march a body of troops through the wood of Bregenz, which no general had before attempted, to cut off the retreat of the Austrians to the Tyrol, by the mountains of Montanus, and to attack them from Switzerland. This compelled the 6000 Austrians who were in the Grisons to retire hastily to the Tyrol. The armistice has, however, now put an end to the effusion of blood in that quarter.
Suspension of arms.
MUNICH July 16.
Immediately after the arrival of Count Dietrichstein from Vienna, at the head quarters of General Kray, the General Moreau and Kray had a conference together on the 13th at Passdorf, five leagues from this city. After a long negotiation, and after each party had receded somewhat from its demands, yesterday evening, about five o'clock, an armistice was concluded as the dawn of the peace so earnestly hoped for, so soon as the armistice shall be ratified by the Emperor, of which no doubt is entertained, a congress for peace will be held in a neighboring Imperial city.
OF PEACE.
RATISBON, July 15.
We are assured that the Court of Vienna has returned an answer to the First Consul's for peace, importing "the Emperor wishes for peace not less than France, but for one that shall be general and durable; and if it cannot be, if the Cisalpine Republic shall be again established, the existence of which is alike dangerous to the existence of Italy and of the Austrian Hereditary States. Should, however, the re-establishment of this Republic be made a conditio sine qua non, it remains to be considered what France will propose for the security and indemnification of Austria." This answer is esteemed to accommodate; that negotiations are expected to be immediately commenced.
AUGSBURG, July 17.
The head quarters of Gen. Moreau will now be removed to Augsburg, where it seems probable the Congress for peace will be held. It is said, the First Consul, Buonaparte, will come to the Congress for a peace to be held in this city.
COLGONE, July 18.
Our Journal contains the following letter from Brussels, dated July 14.
"According to accounts received from Calais, there is now very frequent correspondence between the French and English governments, the subject of which is supposed to be propositions of peace made by England. It is expected that a place will be immediately appointed, where conferences for a general peace may be opened between Envoys from Austria, England and France. This place, it is expected, will be either Lisle or Brussels."
VIENNA, July 18.
The English have exerted themselves to prevent our entering on negotiations, but in vain; but the Austrian ministry though inclined to treat will not treat but in conjunction with England.
LONDON, July 31.
A motion was yesterday made in the common council of the city, that a petition in favor of peace should be preferred to his Majesty; but it finally failed.
Bonaparte directed Moreau to agree to an armistice.
The Iris frigate is taking on board in specie a part of the subsidy for the Emperor.
It is said the king of Prussia has sent Couriers to all the courts of Europe; announcing an intention of interposing for a general peace.
August 4.
It is reported, on the authority of an American gentleman arrived at Dover, that preliminaries of peace between the Austrian and French governments were signed at Paris on Tuesday, the 29th ult. and that intelligence of the event was brought to Calais on Tuesday last by express.
The last Paris papers received were those of the 29th, and they were silent on the subject. The signing, however, might have taken place on that day, after they were printed.
VIENNA, July 12.
The following remarkable proclamation has been published here:
"The conduct of the inhabitants of this Imperial city has been at all times equally firm and generous, nor have they ever, in the most disastrous times of the last or present century, forfeited this character. All Europe was a witness to the noble resolution of the brave Austrians at the memorable crisis in the year 1797."
"The impression which the sudden change in the fortune of war has made on all minds is the natural consequence of the unchangeable fidelity and affection of the people of Austria towards their beloved Sovereign, and is in fact a proof of the zeal with which they will make every effort to support the measures which the States shall adopt to procure a safe and honorable peace, which is the heart-felt wish of our most gracious Emperor."
"It cannot have escaped the public notice, that certain men and evil-minded persons, lurking in obscurity, endeavour to exaggerate the misfortunes of the Imperial armies, and to fabricate pretended conditions of peace, in order to shake the resolution of the public, and deprive it of that firmness which it manifested three years ago, equally to the glory and advantage of the Austrian monarchy."
forts, can only lead him to despise a people, who for so many centuries has enjoyed the glory of true heroism.
"The unremitting endeavours of the Emperor have been uniformly directed to the welfare of his good people. His never failing courage before the battles of Amber and Wurtzburg, and before the negotiations of Leoben, has warded off from us still greater dangers. The blood of his subjects he has ever been anxious to spare; and all his actions are a pledge to us—"That he will never refuse conditions of peace which can be accepted, if they should be (as it is falsely pretended they have been) actually offered him by our enemies."
"Ever faithful to his principles, and his love for the people entrusted to his care by Providence, he will neglect no favourable opportunity which may open the way to an equitable and honourable Peace, in order to heal the wounds of war, and his only happiness in the increasing prosperity of his faithful People."
For the absent Minister of Police, FRANCIS, Count Von SAURAU. Vienna, July 10, 1806.
Prevention better than Cure.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S
Anti-bilious Pills,
WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States—particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S
Genuine Eye-water.
A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir.
For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.

She kept a dozen harriers, greyhounds and Spaniels: All excellent in their kinds. She killed more foxes in one year than all the confederate hunts do in ten; rowed stoutly and was queen of the Lake; played excellently on the Violin, and knew all our old music, nor did she neglect the mechanic arts; for she was a very good joiner; and, notwithstanding she was seventy years of age, was the best wrestler in her neighbourhood, and few young men dared to try a fall with her.

LETTER V. Philadelphia, September 11, 1800. TO THOMAS JEFFERSON, Vice President of the United States.
Sir, EXPERIENCE, even in the domestic transactions of life, is of such great value that we prize it with a miserly passion; but when in the public concerns of a nation, it is obtained by wading through difficulties, and hazarding many important risks, gratitude will erect a temple, consecrated to its worth, and the nation will bow in reverence to it, as the Genius, which shall guide its political career.
America has cause to build this Temple, Emerged from that Sea of distress, which succeeded the declaration of Peace, our country, by the wise and virtuous administration of General Washington, fast rose into consequence, and flourished in wealth and power—her commerce became extensive, and lucrative; a system of finance was established, which yielded a permanent and rich revenue, and the daring head of Faction, was prostrated by the strong arm of government. Happy and contented at home, Europe contemplated us, as a nation enjoying unrivalled, all the numerous blessings of the purest liberty unalloyed by the evils of licentiousness. When that convulsion commenced, which shook to its center the old world, and yet threatens to deluge in blood, the richest plains of Europe, the demon of anarchy riding triumphant in the storm aimed an arrow at our repose, and happiness—but the arm of Washington, ever strong in his country's defence urged from its course the fatal weapon, and layed it harmless at his feet.
Too soon for us has Death snatched away our deliverer, for "Death loves a shining mark" but he bequeathed to his successor, the same shield with which he had defended his country. On the broad basis of his honorable system of Politics, was his successor placed, guarded on all sides, by the unbounded affections of a grateful people; no form could effectually assail this high and secure station, for it was built on a rock immovable and fixed; the hearts of his countrymen.
Mr. Adams, with manly firmness pursued the same wise policy. Power, wealth and glory accumulated in rich profusion around his happy country; in a moment, and the forces of his enemies would have been crushed. But an unlucky moment checked the current of national joy, and threw a temporary gloom over the face of affairs, the sluper of death succeeded the animated exertions of youthful vigour. I need not Sir recite to you those measures of the President, which bear strong marks of a change in his political sentiments, and to which I allude. They are known to every one, far be it from me to charge the President with intentional error. I believe otherwise; unlimited is the confidence I repose in his integrity, but Sir, to the majority of those who raised him to the chair of State, he certainly appears to have changed his political opinions, implied obligation seems not to have been fulfilled; here is cause enough in the minds of some people, to entertain suspicions, and by this example before your eyes, you ought to be governed. You have here a man, beloved, and revered through a long life, and of whose fidelity malice itself had never dared to doubt; in an instant bereft of a considerable portion of the confidence of his friends, for embracing some measures which at most are but doubtful. Whether this share of the public esteem is justly or unjustly withdrawn, I will not pretend to judge, for I am ignorant of the reasons, which influenced the President's mind. But that a diminution of confidence has taken place, is the fact, and this should serve as a way mark to you. If unfortunately it should prove your lot to be President of the United States; for your own sake, I advise you to fulfil every duty of Jacobinism, and suffer not the energy of its spirit, to die while in your keeping; plunder and the guillotine, are its worthy instruments, and you should not sparingly use them, accustom yourself to walk undismayed amid the tombs of murdered thousands, and the groans of dying Patriots; expell from posts of profit every worthy and honest man, and fill them with traitors, and rogues, you will then please your party, and preserve yourself. But repose not Sir, too much on your well established fame, think not that you may deviate one step from the path marked out by your party. In the fate of Mr. Adams you may read your own; he was sincerely beloved by his friends, but yet one unlucky step has weakened that affection. Mr. Adams was universally esteemed a worthy successor to the most illustrious of men—a rich assemblage of public honours decorated his character; and he would have lived in the annals of history an illustrious monument of a grateful country. But those recent acts which appear tinctured with the spirit of democracy, will tear from his brow the encircling wreath and fully a name which might have dazzled a world.
Having examined into the principles and views of your party, my fellow-citizens know what they have to expect from the administration of President Jefferson. I have done my duty in endeavouring to expose it naked to their eyes; they will at least see enough to enable them to form a judgment; and if, in spite of ocular evidence, in spite of the tragic scenes which have been acted in France, in spite of the frequent attempts made to introduce its bloody reign into this country, my fellow-citizens should obstinately and wickedly prefer you for their ruler. I shall only have to lament that their wickedness will be so severely punished and their experimental knowledge so dearly bought. But, Sir, * I cannot say and "posts of honor" for then the private station will be the post of honor.
your countrymen are too wise, too good, too religious (despite this as you please, it still belongs to them) to elect Thomas Jefferson for their President. They have all felt the poisonous effects of suffering, but for a moment the introduction of Jacobinism into the Federal Government: they will vigilantly guard the executive door, and roughly expel from its threshold every presumptuous intruder the least tinctured with its spirit. Experience has taught them a lesson, which is engraven on their hearts and never can be erased; for even supposing that you are not quite callous to every patriotic impression, that in a moment of reflection you might wish to spare the total ruin of your country—please not yourself, Sir, with the confiding hope that you dare to execute one honourable wish, for you dare not. The Praetorian band of Jacobins have the poignard of death ever ready for the defector; their ALL is depending on the progress of Jacobinism, and their all will not be easily surrendered.
Deceive yourself no longer, Sir; throw off your miserable pretensions to the Presidency, founded on no virtue but your power to do harm; but which to Jacobins is a strong recommendation. Ask pardon of your offended country for having appeared impudently so meanly attired, and I do not doubt but that to get rid of you they will forgive you. But take Sir, along with you in your retreat this lesson, they are perhaps my parting words—that the People of America will not raise to the Presidency the Chieftain of a Party which delights in human gore and lives not in the tempestuous sea of anarchy; they will not elect that man to rule over them who has sworn destruction to their form of government, and avowed his disbelief of the Christian Religion. No Sir, if your friends have told this, they have mistaken the character of your countrymen—for they love their constitution and reverence their religion. Keep still then, I conjure you in your retirement at Monticello—pursue your favorite study of natural history—dissect every fly that may buzz about your eyes; but spare the philosophic dismemberment of America; for if you stray from your element and intrude on the political stage, goaded to the extremes of indignation and despair, the people may speak a language too harsh for the delicacy of your nerves.
COLUMBUS.
BOSTON, Sept. 9,
By the BRIG ALERT,
Which has never arrived without furnishing fresh intelligence, we have received London papers to August 4, the latest by fourteen days. The most recent paper contains a report that a Peace between France and Austria was agreed to on the 29th of July. We have certain accounts that an armistice has been concluded between Generals Kray and Moreau. It is improbable that Buonaparte would have extended the cessation of hostilities if the Emperor had not exhibited a pacific disposition. The "dogs of war," on the continent are kennelled for a time. The continued active preparations for hostilities is ordinary policy, intended to secure a good bargain, and to guard against exigencies.
The various military arrangements, positions, &c. are now objects of secondary importance.
Negotiations between Russia, Prussia, Denmark, and Sweden, for supporting a neutrality by force of arms, is thought to be in considerable forwardness. The affair of the Danish frigate, however, must have occurred in consequence of particular orders from the court of Copenhagen. The British, a private article says, have so far resented this unusual resistance as to have authorized the CAPTURE OF DANISH VESSELS.
We cannot find that the reports current yesterday of the departure of our Envoys from France, are supported by either printed or oral information

ADDRESS.
IN an age when successful efforts have been made towards the improvement of the art of Thinking, and when Analysis has been discovered the universal, and sole good method to improve all sciences, and receive instruction in them, it may be a matter of astonishment that it has not been yet generally embraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning. The extraordinary rise and progress of Chymistry, within a very few years, are entirely due to analysis; but there is an art on which it should have first darted its beneficial rays, I allude to the Teaching of Languages. In fact, Nature, this excellent analyst, was before our eyes guiding children in learning the language of their mother, and no child ever failed in acquiring it, proving surprisingly by her unerring lessons—Fully convinced by reason and experience, that the same method she pursues should be followed as nearly as possible, I adopted, in the course of my instructions, such books established on principles that least deviated from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was but a very irregular and imperfect Analysis—I, therefore, resolved though with a very small confidence in my slender abilities, but animated with zeal for the improvement of those who may be desirous to learn French from me, to undertake the tedious and arduous task of writing a work, grounded on Analytical principles, which might comprehend what is wished for by those applying themselves to the study of the living languages, and am happy to say, I have now nearly concluded it. It consists of three parts.
The first, is a chosen Vocabulary of words most frequently used in speech, containing 2,500—the most natural acceptation of each is determined by a phrase prefixed to it. The second, contains the French verbs, both regular and irregular, from a new system in which the principal difficulties attending conjugation are first explained, and observations given on the use of each tense, illustrated by proper examples, so as to enable the learner to express himself with precision.
The third, is a complete list of those words foreign to the language, or on the complement of sense, or on the complement of sense between the parts of speech, whose principal use is to establish in speech that connection between words, which already exists in the mind between ideas. I have also fully determined the sense and acceptation of those important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each examples in French and English.
As I do not intend to publish the above, for some time, and in order, nevertheless, that my pupils may reap the same advantage without it, I hasten to inform those who may be induced to put themselves under my care, that half the time of school (the other half being devoted to other exercises) will be employed in exercising them in the following manner:—
We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word of which will be pronounced in English then in French, to be repeated by one or more of the scholars; and a similar repetition of the phrases before mentioned will follow.
It is worthy of observation, that in our infancy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pronunciation of our vernacular tongue, by pronouncing word by word; and Analysis accomplishes what remains to be done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Grammarians to attain this object are almost useless to us, and still more so to the foreigners, struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation of a language with the help of dictionaries and Grammar alone. Though I conceive my scholars may attain in the above manner, the accurate pronunciation of the French language, yet strict attention is paid to their reading in approved authors before we begin the foregoing exercises.
I will pursue nearly the same method in imparting to them the contents of the two other divisions of my work. I cannot conclude this address without thanking my Fellow-Citizens for the liberal encouragement I have experienced from them, these six years past, in my professional career, presuming that I may be permitted to say, that I have not been altogether undeserving of it.

The Frenchman,
WHO refused to give up a STOLEN POINTER DOG when demanded of him on Wednesday morning last about seven o'clock, by the servant of the owner, at the corner of Arch and Sixth Streets, is desired to lend him to the office of this Gazette, or diligent search will be made after him, and he will be prosecuted as the thief. The Dog is white, excepting a yellow spot on his back, one yellow ear, and two or three yellow spots on his forehead—the other ear is speckled—he is very poor and hip shot. A handsome reward will be given for the dog, and Five Dollars on conviction of the thief. The Frenchman is a tall thin man, of a complexion very dark, and dressed in black clothes (excepting a striped blue and white gingham coat)—He was seen with the dog in company with a short fat man, in Race near Seventh Street, on Sunday afternoon last.
