Late FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
BOSTON, September 1.
On Saturday the ship Argo, capt. Rich, arrived here in 37 days from London. It was hardly to be expected, that an arrival direct from London, in a short passage, and furnishing papers by 16 days the latest, should not have something highly interesting to the American public:—But such is the fact; with the exception of one or two particulars:—The first is, that the Emperor of Germany has rejected the pacific proposition made by Buonaparte—and has determined to try the issue of the War through the campaign.—Great efforts were, therefore, making through the Empire to reinforce the armies, which are to be commanded by Prince Charles. A convention has also been entered into between the Emperor and Great-Britain to carry on the war; and for the latter to furnish the former with a loan of two millions sterling; which has been granted by the British Parliament.—Hostilities had not, however, re-commenced in Italy; and, perhaps, it is essential to mention that the Convention was done at Vienna the 20th of June; whereas the intelligence of the armistice of Alessandria did not reach that capital until the 25th.
The armistice of Italy had not been extended to Germany, where Moreau was daily acquiring new conquests on the Danube; and Kray displaying his talents in effecting honourable retreats.
We have searched every English and French paper received by this arrival, for tidings of our Envoys in France; but we have not found a syllable.—A gentleman who left Paris the 26th of June, saw Judge Ellsworth, the day before, and had some hours conversation with him. As was to be expected, nothing transpired from any of the Commissioners unofficially; and all the reports respecting the negotiation have their origin in the whims and fancies of Exchange politicians, and would be thought Quiddnuncs. If, however, our readers wish to know in what point those reports most concurred in, it is, that the most perfect harmony subsisted amongst the Commissioners of both nations; and that an honourable accommodation would be the result of their conjoint efforts.
It was true, at the sailing of the Argo from London, two reports of the nature of those mentioned above, were in circulation: One, that the treaty with the United States had been signed, and that the Envoys were to sail for the United States in all August, the other, that the negotiation had entirely broken off. The patience of our readers, therefore, must experience further trials, before they attain information on this subject which can be relied on.
We give this day the Austrian accounts of the terrible battle of Marengo; by which it will be seen that though victory eventually followed the Gallic standards, the Imperial arms suffered no diminution of glory.
Of the late affairs in Italy.
Austrian account of the battle of Marengo.
VIENNA, June 28.
This day's Court Gazette contains the following account of the bloody battle of Marengo, on the 14th of June: On the 24th, captain Jakardowsky arrived here, as courier from general Melas, with intelligence that the enemy had likewise crossed the Scrivia, preparing for an attack with all his forces, which induced general Melas to draw up his army behind the Bormida; the divisions of Haddick and Keim, which had arrived at Alessandria on the 11th, having joined the other troops on the 12th. Next day, on the 25th Major Lange arrived here with further accounts from General Melas, according to which the whole imperial army crossed the Tanaro on the 13th and encamped before Alessandria between the Bormida and the Tanaro. On the same day the enemy made a very vigorous attack on the advanced posts near Marengo, who were repulsed by the superiority of the French. Early on the 14th, the Imperial army crossed the Bormida, was formed in three lines of battle, a reserve placed in their rear, defined at the same time to cover the right wing of the principal column, which had advanced against Marengo, and to oblige the road to Novi, in which district the French general Suchet had arrived. Field Marshal Count Haddick led the first line of battle, followed by Lieutenant General Keim, and then the division of Morzin grenadiers, and the division of Elnitz cavalry. While the first line vigorously attacked the enemy near Marengo, the second and third, and Field Marshal Lieutenants O'Reilly and Ott, fled off against Targolola and Sale. Under continued furious attacks during the whole day, the fortune of war was now on one side, then on the other; the approach of night only terminating this battle, extremely bloody for both armies.
General Melas speaks highly of the Generals, Staff and other officers, and of the troops, but particularly of the regiments of Huendorff and Buffy; Col. Frimont and Major Degenfeld, and principally of the excellent effects of the artillery, which was distinguished on every occasion.
The loss of the Imperial Army, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, amounts to 9069 men, of which the wounded are estimated at 5274. We have lost 1493 horses; 683 of whom are wounded. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded was very considerable. General Delfaux remained dead on the field of battle, and several other Generals are among the wounded. We made 2600 prisoners. In the night, from the 14 to the 15th, those of the enemy's troops which had arrived later, advanced to the right banks of the Bormida. General Melas had two horses wounded under him, and the Imperial army has suffered a considerable loss in Staff and other Officers, in the battle. Major Henly, of Archduke John's dragoons, was killed; Field Marshal Lieutenants Count Haddick and Voyeslang; Major Generals Lattmann, Gottscheim, Bellegarde, and la Marquette; Colonels Kolbel, Kuhn, Vernet, Soudain, Eroos, Schultek, Belleredi, Provencheres, and Reischer of the artillery; also four Lieut. Colonels and ten Majors, were wounded. Of superior officers 230 were killed or wounded. Major-General Zach, executing the functions of Quarter-master-General, Colonels Schidmanni, and Weeber, four Lieutenant-Colonels, Major Count St. Julian, commanded a battalion of Joseph Coloredo's grenadiers, and 60 other officers, were made prisoners by the French.
Both parties having agreed on a period of 48 hours, for burying the dead and exchanging the prisoners, this affording an opportunity for entering into further convention, according to which ten days notice is to be given previously to the renewal of hostilities; this convention likewise stipulates the drawing up of the whole Imperial army along the Po and Mincio.
A private letter, of some date. Our accounts from General Kray in this day's Court Gazette, come down only to the 20th of June, and state, that as Field Marshal Lieutenant Count Sztarray, could not oblige the enemy's superior force, which had crossed the Danube, to retreat as far as Gundelfingen, with some loss. Gen. Kray had quitted his position before Ulm.
On the arrival of the unexpected news from Italy, on the 25th of the battle of Marengo, and of an armistice having been concluded, a grand conference was immediately ordered to be held on the 26th at Ketzendorf, in presence of the Emperor, which being finished, a courier was sent off to gen. Melas. We learn that on account of the present situation of affairs, the armistice has been accepted and an answer returned, which, in respect to the French proposals for peace, as to the material points, is said not to be a rejection. It is almost unnecessary to state what sensation the above news from Italy has created here, particularly when it was known that all the fortresses in the west of Italy, and among them Genoa, will be given up to the French. After the arrival of Major Lange, on the 25th, as courier from general Melas, he delivered his dispatches to General Count Tschey. Vice President of the Aulic Council of War, and immediately afterwards, he had an audience of the emperor.
As preliminaries of peace, Buonaparte is said to have proposed the restoration of the Cisalpine republic, and the approbation of our court for the occupation of the fortresses of the west of Italy by the French.
It is now confidently said that yesterday Count Cobenzel actually received orders to prepare for a diplomatic mission, said to be to Italy. In Germany an armistice is also expected soon to take place. A courier has been sent to General Kray, and Count Lehrsach, with important dispatches. It is also said that Count Dietrichstein will again be sent to the imperial army in Germany.
Another letter, same date. In the dreadful battle of Marengo, the French it is said have lost twice the number of men we did: the grape-shot from 100 Austrian 24 pounders made terrible havoc among them. The imperial troops fought like lions, but were at length forced to give way to the superior French infantry. Melas would, perhaps, have renewed the combat on the following day, had not the French received considerable reinforcements on the day of the action. The courier who arrived here on the 25th with the account of our losses in Italy, had passports both from General Melas and General Belierier.
Military Operations in Germany.
LONDON, July 7.
The intelligence from the Danube is highly interesting, and the details transmitted by general Moreau to the Chief Consul respecting the action of Hocchstadt (the passage of the river between Bleinheim and Dillingen) are both important and extraordinary. It was on the 22d ult that this attack took place at day-break; there were several false demarcations, but the real point was at Bleinheim, where the bridges had been left standing upon account of their decayed and dangerous state, in which it was thought no army could attempt to pass them. Four score swimmers first passed the river, naked, with their arms following in two miserable skits.
The immediate issue of this affair, was the loss of 5000 men in prisoners alone, and 20 pieces of cannon, which fell into the hands of the French.
But the remote consequences of their success were of still more importance. Gen. Kray immediately broke up from his strong position before Ulm, leaving only a sufficient garrison to defend it, and was marching, according to the letter of General Moreau to give battle to the republicans. We shall see the enemy, adds the French General, one half of his journey. Thus is the fate of Germany about to be decided in a battle, which threatens to equal or exceed the horrible carnage we have lately had to deplore in the north of Italy.
The Austrian Generals observed at Neuburg, as they were retreating, 'That army is invincible.' Never, did the French fight so well as now.
You will also soon receive, citizen minister, interesting details respecting our marches and engagements at Nerdheim and Noringen, and the attempt made by the enemy to draw us into negotiations for an armistice, founded on the pretence of conventions entered into between the armies of Italy, by which means they might have an opportunity of establishing themselves in Bavaria.
This I had foreseen, and General Decaen had already set out by forced marches with his division for Munich, which place he entered yesterday morning. A true Copy. (Signed) "MOREAU."
PARIS, July 5.
General Moreau has invited the States of Upper Suabia to an assembly, to which he will communicate his demands. Deputies have repaired for this purpose to Augsburg. Moreau was to join them on the 1st instant, on his return from Munich, where he will only tarry himself.
STUTTGARD, June 32.
Hitherto no armistice has been concluded between Kray's armies; that concluded in Italy was only communicated to the army on the 23d instant. The principle: Imperial army has now left Suabia, and the theatre of war has been removed to the Upper Palatinate, and other districts belonging to the Elector of Bavaria. After General Kray had quitted his position near Ulm, to prevent being cut off, and by rapid side marches and a skilful manœuvre, he reached the Danube, near Neuburg, thus restoring his communication with Bavaria. Moreau likewise changed his plans, sending troops across the Danube to Bavaria, by forced marches, to get into the flank of Kray's army.
June 30.
The Austrian main army has now withdrawn from Suabia, and the theatre of war has been removed to Upper Palatinate, and other parts of Bavaria.—After General Kray had left Ulm, to prevent his being cut off, by a rapid side-march and able manœuvre, he again reached the Danube, and regained his communication with Bavaria. General Moreau likewise altered his plan, and marched his troops hastily over the Danube into Bavaria, to take the army of General Kray in flank.
Ulm is provisioned for a year, and its works are so extensive, that a siege of it will employ a great force.
PARIS, June 5.
General Moreau Commander of the army of the Rhine, has defeated the Austrian army in the action of Nerdheim Norlingen and Oberhausen, where General Kray commanded in person. The enemy was pursued as far as Ingolstadt on the 28th of June. The result of these different engagements has been the taking of Munich, whence the Elector of Bavaria has been obliged to fly with his whole court, the victim of his avity, which induced him to betray his own interests, and those of his country, for a few millions of livers which the English have given him as subsidy.
Latour D'Auvergne, chief grenadiers of the republic, fell fighting amidst the first ranks of the grenadiers of the 46th.
Copy of a letter from the General in Chief of the Rhine to the Minister at war.
Augsburg, June 29.
The enemy, citizen minister, with the intention of preventing us from penetrating by Rain, assembled their army at Neuburg. As he was one day's march before us in his retreat, and as we had three defiles to pass, those of Vernitz, the Danube, and the Lech, the bridge over which took nearly twelve hours to repair, the general movement was retarded. The corps of General Lecourbe, however, effected a passage in the evening of the 26th and on the 27th advanced into Bavaria; the division of General Gulin marching upon Poetmehl, and that of General Montrichard upon Neuburg.
The latter found at Oberhausen a very considerable corps of the enemy, commanded by Kray in person, with which a very warm action commenced. General Lecourbe came up at the moment when our troops were forced to yield to three times their own number, and maintained the fight until the arrival of the brigade of General Grandjean, who passed the Lech, and advanced with great rapidity to the division of Montrichard, which still kept its ground with distinguished valour.
A battalion of the 14th light, two of the 46th of the line, and two of the 57th, attacked the enemy with an intrepidity which has been seldom equalled. The enemy, notwithstanding his considerable force, was defeated, and effected his retreat during the night towards Ingolstadt on both sides of the Danube, after burning the bridge of Neuburg.
June 28.
General Moreau arrived here at 6 o'clock yesterday evening; and when a deputation from this city waited on him, he made use of these words: "Nous aurons la paix, Messieurs."—We shall have peace, gentlemen.
July 4.
They state from Munich, of the date of yesterday, that the head-quarters of Moreau were at Schwabhausen. Ingolstadt is invested. General Lecourbe continues to extend his force into Upper Bavaria. The French are fortifying Lindau.
HEILBRON, July 1.
We learn that Ulm is bombarded, and that it cannot hold out long. There are 10,000 men in garrison. Philipburg has 1800. The French troops have not yet penetrated thus far.
FRANKFORT, July 7.
The battle which took place yesterday upon the Nidda was very smart and bloody; there were several charges with the bayonet, as well as of the cavalry. The Polonez legion made part of the French troops that attacked.
Last night the Germans quitted the line of the Nidda, and retired to the left bank of the Mein. This morning the French appeared before this city, and have established a post opposite the gate of Bokenheim.
July 8.
The French are still before our gates; they talk of contributions, but our magistrates appear inclined to chide them.
FRANKFORT, June 24.
Our Gazette contains the following paragraph: "We are officially authorized to inform the public, that 30 battalions of infantry, under the command of his Royal Highness the archduke Charles, are collecting on the river Inn, and 10,000 Hungarian cavalry will advance with them to support the Imperial army in Germany."
The official advice (it is said in a letter from Ulm, dated the 22d) that the archduke Charles, with an entirely fresh and numerous army, will advance to the support of General Kray, within three weeks at least, has inspired the troops with new spirits. The dispatches from the Aulic Council of War, which brought this official intelligence have been published in General Orders.
WAR ARTICLES.
LONDON, July 16.
CONVENTION
Between his MAJESTY and the EMPEROR of the Romans.
Signed at Vienna, June 20, 1800.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Romans, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and his Majesty the King of Great Britain, have judged that it was conformable to the interest of their crowns, and to the good of the common cause to concert with each other on the best manner of giving effect to the union of their efforts against the common enemy in the present campaign. In consequence of which the Baron de Thugut, Grand Cross of the order of St. Stephen, his Imperial Majesty's Minister of Conferences, and Comptroller General and Minister Plenipotentiary in his provinces of Italy, Illyria and Dalmatia, &c. and the Right Hon. Gilbert Lord Minto, Peer of Great Britain, one of His Britannic Majesty's most Hon. Privy Council, and his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Vienna, being furnished on the part of their respective Imperial and Britannic Majesties with powers requisite for discussing and arranging this important object; the said Plenipotentiaries, after having respectively exchanged their full powers, have agreed upon the following articles:—
Article I. In order to relieve the pressing necessities of the finances of his Imperial Majesty under the enormous expenses already incurred, and which remain to be incurred during the present campaign, His Britannic Majesty shall advance to his above-mentioned Imperial Majesty by way of loan, the sum of £2,000,000 sterling. This sum shall be divided into three parts, and paid at three different periods, as follows: so that the first third of £666,666 13s. 4d. shall be paid in the first days of the month of July, the second third of the like sum in the first days of September, and the remaining third in the last day of the month of December.
Article II. During the whole continuance of the war, and during the six months which shall follow the conclusion of a peace between Austria and France, his Imperial Majesty shall not be bound to pay any interest upon the sum of two millions advanced, as stipulated in the preceding article, Great-Britain consenting to take this charge upon her own account until the period above-mentioned: But on the expiration of the term of six months after the conclusion of peace, his Imperial Majesty shall pay for the future to the British government, or to the individuals who shall be pointed out by the British government, an annual rent or annual rents, making altogether the amount of the interests of the loan made on account of the British government in the present year. His Imperial Majesty shall moreover pay annually to the British government the sum of 200,000 sterling at two periods, that is to say, 100,000. every six months, which sum shall be employed in the successive purchase and reduction of the principals of the two millions, according to the method adopted by the British government in its loans:
Article III. Their Imperial and Britannic Majesties mutually promise each other to carry on the war against the French Republic, during the present campaign with all possible vigour, and to employ in it all their respective means by land and sea, concerted together, as occasion shall require, on the most advantageous manner of reciprocally employing their forces by land and sea to the support of their operations against the common Enemy. His Imperial Majesty shall be careful to complete his armies of Germany and of Italy in proportion to the losses which they have sustained, in order always, as far as possible, to act against the common Enemy with the same number of effective men, conformably to the statements which his Imperial Majesty caused to be confidentially communicated to the British
Government on the opening of the campaign.
Article IV. The Bavarian troops, those of Wurtemberg, and the Swiss regiments in the pay of Great Britain, shall be at the disposition of his Imperial Majesty, to form a part of his army in Germany, and to be employed there in operations against the enemy in conformity to the Conventions and Capitulations concluded on this subject by the King of Great Britain. His Britannic Majesty shall take the necessary measures for the further reinforcement of the army of his Imperial Majesty in Germany by as great a number as possible of German and Swiss troops.
Article V. Their Imperial and Britannic Majesties engage during the whole continuance of the present Convention, not to make a separate Peace with the French Republic without the previous and express consent of each other. They engage likewise not to treat with the enemy, nor to receive from him any overtures either for a private peace or for a general pacification, without making, mutually, communications of them with each other, and acting in every respect in perfect concert.
Article VI. The duration of the present Convention is fixed for the term of one year, to be computed from the 1st of March, 1800, until the end of February, 1801. From the month of December, immediately after the acquittal of the last payment of the stipulated advances the two high contracting parties shall enter into deliberation and confidential explanation upon the determinations that they may think necessary to adopt for the future, according to circumstances, and their mutual convenience.
Article VII. The present Convention shall be ratified in due form by their Imperial and Britannic Majesties, and the respective ratifications shall be exchanged, at Vienna in the space of six weeks, or sooner if possible.
In witness whereof, We, the undersigned, furnished with the full powers of their Imperial and Britannic Majesties, have in their names signed the present Convention, and have affixed thereunto the Seal of our arms. Done at Vienna the 20th of June, in the year 1800.
(L. S.) LE BARON DE THUGUT, (L. S.) MINTO.
From the Royal message delivered to Parliament on Tuesday night, and the convention signed at Vienna on the 20th June, (a correct copy of which we lay before our readers) we may receive assurance that notwithstanding the late reverse experienced by the Austrian army in Italy, his imperial majesty will listen to no proposition of peace from the French Consul without consulting the cabinet of Great Britain.—The answer sent to those transmitted to Vienna, in consequence of the victory of Marengo, is said to have been to the following effect:—"That his imperial majesty entertains no repugnance to coming to an amicable and sincere explanation with the French government, but that he considers himself bound in honor to consult with his ally the King of Great Britain, to whom he will transmit, without loss of time, the overtures of the Chief Consul, with his imperial majesty's reply to them."
Another message was on Friday delivered to both Houses, respecting the vote of Credit, which is to enable his majesty to meet any extraordinary exigencies that may occur in addition to those already voted. The message also expresses a firm reliance upon Parliament, that they will adopt such other measures as the exigencies of the case may seem to require. In these particulars the Parliament manifests a ready inclination to gratify his Majesty's wishes. They are willing to provide every means in their power to render successful the vigorous effort that is about to be made. If France resists effectually the mediated blow, the gigantic Republic becomes of course immortal. Our endeavours to disappoint the hopes of so ambitious, so dangerous a rival, it is therefore necessary, should be both prompt and extensive. The cause is unquestionably the most important that ever engaged the attention of the political observer. It is not the interest of the allies alone that is at stake: those of all Europe likewise, are not less involved in the issue of the contest.
PARIS, July 6.
Notwithstanding the forcible impression of all our victories, it would appear that Thugut is still averse to peace, so anxiously looked for by all Europe, and that Pitt's guineas prevail over every sentiment of humanity. . . . well, let us give them no respite—let us plant the Republican standard on the walls of Vienna; and there let us compel their unfeigned ambition to accept a glorious pacification. It is said to be the intention of the Chief Consul to reward, by his presence, the brave army of the Rhine, as he inflamed, by his glorious example, the intrepid army of Italy. What obstacles can now be opposed to us by troops who are now convinced that they are made to fight only that English commerce may thrive more prosperously? How painful is it to reflect, that persons who can hold out such base incentives to action should possess the confidence of monarchs, whose personal merits so powerfully claim our esteem, in spite of the character of those who they chose for their advisers!
Can it be possible, that in the midst of these reverses, in the midst of the general cry which from one end of Europe to the other proclaims the new exploits of the republican armies, our enemies should still persevere in the absurd determination of opposing us? Is it possible that they should persist in refusing to Europe that blessing for which it sighs, peace? We must freely confess, that every thing seems to announce that it is their intention to continue the war. Their invincible obstinacy is remarkable. While nations groan—while the blood of nations—while the barren earth in vain demands the toils of the husbandman—a

set of Ministers, shut up in the palaces of Vienna, London, and Constantinople, coldly calculate whether the lives of a few thousand more men can preserve them a short time longer in their places. As they clearly see that peace will put an end to their influence, they postpone the conclusion of it as long as they can. They diminish in the eyes of their masters the importance of our victories. They exaggerate the resources of the Coalition, and represent our efforts as the work of despair, or the effect of a political revolution, which cannot last. It is thus that they deceive the Kings who give them their confidence. But now the victorious Republic must seize peace, if it cannot be granted her. She has trampled her enemies on the field of battle. She ought not to be the dupe of their cunning, and their diplomatic intrigues. After the dreadful blow that has struck, she ought to pursue them before they have time to breathe. They will not fail to endeavor to ensnare her, and under the hope of a frivolous negotiation, will seek to cool her zeal, and repair their own losses. The House of Austria particularly, often unsuccessful in war, extricates itself from calamity by policy. But the same genius which created an army, which transported it across the Alps, and in fifteen days destroyed what 60,000 Russians and as many Austrians had taken fifteen months to accomplish—that genius which crossed the seas in safety, and sustained the Republic on the brink of the abyss, will penetrate the designs of a few courtiers, and stop them in the crooked course of their dark policy. We are perfectly confident, that if, in spite of the cries of humanity, our enemies should refuse to treat in a candid and upright manner with the Republic, nothing can prevent the Republic, armed with all its energy, from pressing them in its turn, and rendering them responsible for the miseries they shall have caused to humanity.
VIENNA, JUNE 21. The States of Austria, Bohemia, and Hungary, have granted a levy of recruits for a new army, which will consist of 80,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry; but they with the Archduke Charles would command them without limited orders as Generalissimo, and they will only fight in defence of the Austrian Monarchy. A deputation from Hungary and Bohemia has been sent to the Archduke at Prague, from whence he has been invited to go to Vienna. His highness is not yet gone, but some of his adjutants daily pass and re-pass, as couriers. June 22. General Kray has applied for his recall, because he has not the confidence of the army, and cannot acquire it like the Archduke Charles, who annually distributed among the troops and subaltern officers more than 80,000 ducats. This liberality gained the hearts of the soldiers, and the orders of the Archduke were executed as soon as given. CONSTANTINOPLE, May 28. Negotiations, we learn, between the Grand Vizier and General Kleber, in regard to the evacuation of Egypt, have been already resumed. It is not believed that they will terminate so soon as the last time, and the Turks flatter themselves notwithstanding the bravery displayed by the troops of General Kleber, the terms will be more favorable. At any rate they will insist that the French on their return to Europe shall not serve against the English or Imperials; a great number of the French have already been swept off by the plague.
GENERAL ARTICLES. Paris, July 15. It appears certain, that the Archduke Charles refuses to take command of the Austrian army. Gen. Starray, it is said, has resigned his command under Kray. Several other Generals are likewise desirous to resign; and General Kray himself has, it is said repeatedly solicited his recall. The Americans who are in Paris met on the 4th of this month to celebrate the anniversary of the Independence of the United States. At this meeting many toasts were given in honor of our invincible armies, and to the speedy re-establishment of good harmony between the two Republics. The Marquis de la Fayette lately spent a few days in Paris and then returned to his country seat near Melun. It is reported at Paris, that in answer to the courier of M. de Melas, the cabinet of Vienna had proposed to the French Government a suspension of arms for a year; but that the latter replied that it must have a speedy and solid peace, or would resume hostilities.— Journal du Commerce.
LONDON, JULY 19. Yesterday evening the different subsidies of foreign powers were voted in a committee of this House of Commons. There was an expectation among many persons that some words might drop in the course of the debate which would serve to guide the public opinion in regard to the present conjuncture of affairs. Nothing, however, which could lead to any conclusion on the subject. Whatever may be the answer of his majesty's ministers to the court of Vienna in regard to the overtures of the first consul, it is obvious that secrecy ought to be the foul of the correspondence.

The Amelia , Donaldson, from Savannah to London, was taken 20th June, by La Minerve French privateer, the captain and several men killed. The ridiculous abuse of the words sentiment and sentimental by the affected imita- tors of Sterne, and the die-away damels of every corrupt metropolis, did not escape the acute research nor the acuter satire of the late perspicuous and amiable writer, Dr. Beattie. "We have heard," says he, "not only of women of sentiment, and of sentimental men and women, (which I know not whether I understand); but also of sentimental tales; and, what is yet more extraordinary, of sentimental journeys — which I think should be advertised in the same paragraph with philosophical razors !"
A French student of medicine lodged in the same house in London, with a man in a fever. The patient was continually teased by his nurse to drink, though he nauseated the insipid liquids, that were presented to him. At last, when he was more impor- tunate than usual, he whispered in her ear "For God's sake, bring me a fair herring, and I will drink as much as you please." The woman indulged him in his request; he devoured the herring, drank plentifully, underwent a copious perspiration, and re- covered. The French student inserted this aphorism in his journal. A salt herring cures an Englishman in a fever. On his return to France, he prescribed the same remedy to the first patient in a fever to whom he was called. The patient died. On which the student inserted in his journal the following caveat. N. B. Though a salt herring cures an Englishman, it kills a Frenchman!
LITERARY NOTICES. Mr. ASBURY DICKENS, Bookseller of this city, proposes to publish immediately neat and convenient editions of those admi- rable school books, the "Grammar," "Exer- cises" and "Key to the Exercises" of Lind- ley MURRAY. It is of high importance that the use of these Grammatical treatises become universal in America. In the same manner as Dr. BLAIR's Lectures on Rhetor- ic and the Belles Lettres are a complete Digest and Institute of Eloquence and super- cede every other book treating of oratory, and the studies subsidiary to it, so these little volumes by Mr. MURRAY comprehend every thing, pertinent to that science, which is the Portress to the other sciences. The author, with the strictest propriety, makes Bishop Lowth his pole star, but associates to the correct and classical canons of that pre- late all the useful rules and observations of succeeding writers. The examples, which Mr. Murray quotes to illustrate his rules are drawn from the purest, most correct, and most moral of the English writers, and thus the juvenile mind is at once enlarged by Science, and fortified by principle. This brief account is only a slight notice of the works in question. When they shall be ready for delivery, the writer of this article will undertake a minute analysis, and attempt to demonstrate the superior value of these school books. One topic more remains, and it is addressed both to real and factitious Patriots; to those who, in every deed, are proud of the Genius and Industry of their countrymen, and follow up their admiration of a work by acts of substantial kindness to the author; and to those who only talk of the love of our country, and suffer its children either to pine in obscurity, or to flee to Eu- rope—Mr. Murray is a NATIVE AMERI- CAN. But he resides in England, and pub- lishes his books there. Nay, he not only publishes at a British press, but has acquired a fortune abroad by his literary labours. The inconsistency of his countrymen is worthy of observation; indeed it is worthy of something else; but let that pass. While Mr. M. was at New-York, his natal city , no one read or purchased his productions; yet they evidently belonged to the useful and necessary departments of knowledge; there- fore the usual miserable plea, that we are too
infant and too poor to encourage mere lite- rary speculations and effusions of fancy, is destroyed, because school books are the con- veniences and necessities , not the luxuries of literature. Finding that learning was not the mode, and the honorable premium for literary labour not to be obtained in Ame- rica, Mr. M. embarked for England, and though a stranger, a young man, an unknown writer, he received in the remoter quarter of the kingdom, in the city of York, that tribute, which, as Burke justly and elegant- ly expresses it, Wealth owes to Genius , and which honors both the giver and the recei- ver. He obtains for one book, and that a composition, such as an author of taste and industry might make in a single week, a larger sum than any three writers in Ame- rica have ever received, for original and vo- luminous performances. The most striking part of this statement remains. The works he resided in America, would not purchase of this grammar, the sale of whose books, from his ink and pens, are now imported from England, and when the encouragement will in no wise benefit the author, there is not only a prodigious demand for the British copies, and an annual consumption of seve- ral thousands, but two large American edi- tions are now actually printing in Philadel- phia and Boston. To a national vanity, to the avarice of our patriots and to the lipu- dity of the twining speculator, this is a most hateful and bitter topic. The writer of this article is careless of pleasing them. He will not flatter mean- ness and vice, give the lie to truth and nature. Of the noble, and manly, and ge- nerous, and high spirited portion of the American nation and character he is an en- thusiastic admirer. It real honour ; its loyal federalism ; its stable principles , and what of its faith has been never broken , and what of its dignity has never been sullied , he has advocated , he advocates , and will continue to advocate . But, when America makes false pretensions to patriotism ; when the vaunts of her munificence and men know her to be mean; when she locks every door against lettered worth, and reserves all her favours for cunning craftiness, and crooked left-handed wisdom , it is wholesome and de- cent to " bear record " against her; and testify the whole truth—though nothing but the truth.
If that be a state of liberty in which every man's person and property is suffi- ciently secured, the people of the United States may be said truly to enjoy it. Our laws have hitherto promoted the prosper- ity and happiness of the people in the highest degree and far beyond the most sanguine expectations. Our country is at this moment of time blessed with the greatest share of freedom upon the face of the earth; our constitution secure to every individual, the enjoyment of all that God and reason have taught him to hold dear; it gives to every citizen the right of trial by jury; a participation of all the offices of honour and trust; the freedom of the press, and the privilege of religious and political opinions. But of all these blessings, a gross and uncultivated understand- ing cannot form a true estimation; and even those who boast of enlightened minds, but are ambitious, sensual and avaricious, will not value them rationally. True love of liberty cannot be the offspring of envy, or malice, or sordid self interest, or of a proud and peevish opposition to the ruling powers. Civil liberty and national prosper- ity depend almost solely upon intellectual and moral improvement; upon a man's im- plicit submission to truth, reason, and law— to his conscience and to his God.

French Tuition,
UPON AN ANALYTICAL PLAN.
NICHOLAS GOULIN DUFIEF,
Professor of the French Language, Has the honor of informing his Fellow-Citizens of Philadelphia, that he will open his School on Monday the 14th of September, at No. 5, south Fifth Street, and divide his hours of instruction in the following manner:
Attendance on Ladies and Gentlemen, at their own houses, will be given as usual, from 9 o'clock in the morning till 2 in the afternoon. His Afternoon and Evening School, will begin (every other day) from 4 to 6, and from 6 till 9.
Translations from either language into the other, performed with accuracy, elegance, facility and dispatch.
N.B.—Nicholas G. Dufief, respectfully invites the Ladies and Gentlemen, ambitious to learn the French, to agree with some of their friends or acquaintances, desirous of receiving lessons in that universal and improved language, to meet at the same hour and place for mutual instruction—they may be assured it will be to their advantage to do so, if they peruse with attention the following:
To the Lovers of the French Language.
ADDRES.
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 a monument that it has not been yet generally embraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning. The extraordinary rise and progress of Chemistry within a very few years, are entirely due to Analysis; but there is an art on which it would have had first dated its beneficial nature, the excellent Analysis, 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 the purists 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 wish to learn French from me, to undertake the laborious and arduous task of writing a work grounded on Analytical principles, which might comprehend what is without loss 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 2500—the most natural acceptance 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 French language, which are used in the commerce of life, and the link or connection of sense between the other 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 application of these important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each example 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 have 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 a most 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.
