LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (CONTINUED.) INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE.
General Melas to Count de Tinge, at Vienna. Turin June 5, 1800.
General Gorrup being no longer able to defend the Col di Tenda, he arrived yesterday at Canoe, of which he is to take the command. As the passage by the Col. is shut to Gen. Elsitze, I have left the latter at liberty to make for the plains of Piedmont, by such a route as he should think most convenient and I am waiting for his report. Until I receive it I can undertake nothing with the divisions of Kaim and Haddick, who are still in the same positions which I mentioned to you.
Besides, as Field Marshall Ott wrote to me of the 2d of June, that at the moment when orders had arrived at Sestri to raise the blockade of Genoa, Massena was inclined to capitulate, and with this view had sent to Sestri, General Andrea, as Plenipotentiary, as the conferences had begun the same day at Rivoli, in concert with colonel Pest, and captain Bevra, on the part of the English, as they were to continue the blockade as Gen. Ott thought proper to delay the departure of the French fleet, to wait the result of the negotiations which might bring about a capitulation, I determined the more readily to give orders, and Gen. Elsitze might still be retarded for some days, that the bridge head of Placentia should be guarded with more troops, that the Po should continue to be carefully watched, to prevent any attempt of the enemy to pass that river, and that the probable fall of Genoa allowed us to hope that affairs would take a more favourable turn.
Field Marshall Vuroffovich has sent me an officer, who arrived this morning. This Gen. informs me that on the 2d he was at Magliana, and that to prevent his report being taken by the enemy, he will send them to me by the right bank of the Po. I have not yet received it. Signed) MELAS.
MUNICH, June 5. From Augsburg and this city many persons have fled to Ratisbon and other places. Most of the foreign Ministers have likewise left this city; the Russian ambassador, Baron Bugler, is gone to Ratisbon.
Frontiers of Savoy, June 2. Several hundred men have passed thro' Switzerland from Savoy, for the use of the French army of Reserve in Italy. For the French troops that go by Mont Saint Gothard, Switzerland is to furnish 200,000 rations of meat and bread, 250,000 cwt of hay, and 20,000 sacks of oats.
LONDON, June, 29.
Admiralty Office, June 28, 1800. Copy of a letter from Vice Admiral Lord Keith, K. B. Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Ships and vessels in the Mediterranean, to Evan Nepean Esq. dated on board the Minotaur, off Genoa, May 21, 1800.
SIR. I have the honor of reporting to you, for the information of their Lordships, that, by private intelligence from Genoa, I understood the French had resolved on boarding our vessels in any future attempt to bombard the town, and yesterday about 12 o'clock a very large galley, a cutter, three armed boats, and several gun-boats, appeared in array off the Molehead, and in the course of the afternoon exchanged shots with some of the ships as they passed them. At last they took a position under the guns of the Mole and the City Batteries which were covered with men, manning a determined resistance; I nevertheless managed every thing for a fourth bombardment, as formerly, under the direction of captain Philip Beaver of the Aurora, who left the Minotaur at 9 P. M. attended by the gun and mortar vessels, and the armed boats of the ships. About 9 o'clock, being arrived at a proper distance for commencing fire, a brisk cannonade was opened upon the town, which was returned from various points; and captain Beaver having discovered by the flashes of some guns that they were directed from something nearly level with the water, judiciously concluded that they proceeded from some of the enemy's armed vessels; calling a detachment of the ship's boats to his assistance, he made directly for the spot, and in a most gallant and spirited manner, under a smart fire of cannon and musketry from the Mole and several armed vessels, attached, boarded, carried and brought off their largest galley La Prima of 30 oars, and 237 men, armed besides muskets, pistols, carbines, &c. with two brass guns of 36 pounds, having about 32 trade swivels in her hold, and commanded by captain Barrio Calvano. The bombardment suffered no material interruption but was continued till day light the following morning, when the Prima was finally brought off; her extreme length is one hundred and fifty-nine feet, and her breadth twenty-three feet six inches. On our part four seamen only have been wounded; one belonging to this ship, in the boat with captain Beaver; one belonging to the Minotaur; and the other two to the Aurora. The enemy's loss is not exactly known, but one man was found dead on board, and two wounded. The retaliation which I deserve from considering the real activity and gallantry with which this service has been performed, is greatly augmented by the flattering testimony borne by captain Beaver, to the great conduct of
the officers and seamen who acted with him on this occasion. I have the honor to be, Sec. KEITH.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, August 20. The rupture, or suspension of the negotiation commenced by Mr. Ellsworth, and his associates, with the Consulate of France, has a correspondent in a note to the Editor, has very probably taken place, according to the report brought by the last arrivals from Europe; but it cannot be true, that it has taken place on the ground stated; for, the last mission to France bore express instructions to concede all claims for spoliations by cruizers of whatever description, authorized or unauthorized, and it is surely improbable from the nature of the case, that the pending Embassy carried instructions to assume a loftier tone than the last. The article of intelligence, therefore, in the public prints, purporting that the negotiation had been broken off, on account of the refusal of the French to accede to a demand made by the American Embassadors, for compensation we deem to be erroneous in its detail, though the fact appears to us probably in the outline. The unexampled fortune of that nation which can be attributed only to corruption on the one part, and treason of the blackest dye, on the other, has very probably produced, in this new instance, its customary effect. Elated with victory, intoxicated with conquest, it is natural to usurpers, whom a few short years have exalted to such unthought-of heights of power, to extend their mad ambition to projects of the most vast and visionary nature. Nor would it be at all astonishing if Buonaparte should aim at a virtual control over the destinies of both Europe and America.
WILKESBARRE, (P.) August 5. In our Gazette of the 1st July ult. we announced the arrival of Generals Irvine, Porter, and Boude, commissioners appointed by government to carry into effect the compromising act of Assembly, relative to the Connecticut and Pennsylvania claim to lands within the Seventeen Townships of Luzerne. Their Secretary is John Shippen, Esq. of Shippenburgh, who arrived just as this paper was going to press.
We can now assure the public they have made considerable progress. We have reason to hope and believe these gentlemen are disposed to act with all the liberality which the law with this act. From their disposition as and exertion, as well as from the spirit of the law itself, we have a fair prospect of a happy issue to this long existing controversy. We understand the commissioners express themselves pleased and encouraged by the attention and exertion of the inhabitants of such towns as their surveyors have been engaged in, in coming forward with such cheerfulness and exhibiting drafts, corners, and lines: as well as by the many instruments of submission which have been forwarded to the land office since their arrival.
LANCASTER, August 20.
FACTS
At which every man who calls himself a Republican, ought to blush. Fact 1. On the 27th day of March one thousand eight hundred, the Governor of Pennsylvania, remitted the fine of Alexander Ogle of Somerset county, convicted of keeping a TIPPING HOUSE! Fact 2. On the 25th day of the ensuing March, (April) the same Alexander Ogle, who bears the character of a blasphemer and blacklegman, was appointed by the truly Republican Governor of Pennsylvania, to the important office of Brigade Inspector of Somerset county.
PITTSBURGH, August 9. On any government long continue respectable or respected when in the several departments its functions are exercised by the weak, the ignorant and the unprincipled; instead of those whose character and talents qualify them to fill the first stations with dignity and propriety?—Are we not in Pennsylvania daily sinking into contempt in our own eyes and that of our sister States? General Fowler, in his brigade orders, has wisely said, "It is the duty of every individual to submit to all in the sphere which God and man have allowed him." But all will not think alike. Will it be said that nature or the God of nature ever intended a Sherman, a Phillips, a Taylor, or a McAlister, to be General Officers? a Gazeau, an Ogle fit stuff for Brigade Majors and Inspectors, or many of the captains lately elevated to the sacred seats of justice. Our First Consul, without running half the length of Russia, has done more in six months to injure the cause of true republicanism, than has yet been effected by the arms of the Archduke or Prince Schwartzenberg.

TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS. "MEMNON, or Human Wisdom," an instructive and amusing tale from the French, will soon be published. A series of versions of passages, concise and brilliant, from the French classics, and from new publications, will occasionally variegate our diurnal page. The "Shop of COLON and SPONDEE" will be again opened in a few days. We shall expose for sale directly a few flight goods for summer use. We have some pure and neat articles for the Ladies, but no false "Bosom friends" or delicate transparencies. The raving Eddy, signed "A Citizen Democrat," and containing a Defence of the late Primary Assemblies at the State House, is ordered to lie on the table. With his private character and circumstances we have nothing to do, but as he speaks in the most offensive and malignant terms of Christianity, as he plumes himself upon being a disciple of Democracy, that most unstable and loathsome of governments; and as his style is captious, petulant and rumbling; it is our duty to reject vicious and false sentiments, clothed in vicious expression, and to recommend to the Citizen Author the Aurora, as the most suitable vehicle for his essay. The Gazette of the United States is devoted to higher and more salutary purposes, than to minute controversies and "prophane babblings" and the crudities of discontented democrats and unlettered men. We are perfectly weary of Chimney-sweepers politicians, and Scavenger Statesmen, and Lamplighter Legislators. Instead of pursuing their proper employment, the meanest and most unqualified men jump up from the pavement and lay their clumsy paws upon the ark of government! We think that this "Citizen" has "a right to be well governed," and, in the words of the Bishop of Rochester, has, with many other citizens, thus much to do with the law—To obey them. If he choose to start from his place in society, lay meddling hands on the State, and expose himself to the ridicule of wit, the indignation of the orthodox, the contempt of the wise and loyal, he will likely set himself up as a target, and much expect to be shot at by whole quivers of arrows. A town meeting and a proper show; the rabble gazing round a field preacher, or bellowing against their rulers, are standing parts of ridicule.

Trade interdicted with Baltimore, as well as Norfolk. Health-Office, No. 213, 1800.
WHEREAS the Board of Health have received information that a contagious disease, dangerous to the community, now exists in NORFOLK, (Virginia,) and also the CITY OF BALTIMORE, being, as is represented to us, equally sickly.
Whereupon Resolved, with the assent and approbation of the Mayor, that all vessels from thence, bound to the Port of Philadelphia, bring too at the Lazaretto, to receive a visit from the Resident Physician, and there wait the determination of the Board. And further, that no person (or goods capable of retaining infection) from NORFOLK, or BALTIMORE shall be permitted to come to the City or County of Philadelphia, until they produce a satisfactory certificate of their being at least 15 days in a healthy state, from thence, under the PENALTY OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, agreeable to the 7th section of the Health Law, half of which will be paid to the informer on conviction. All proprietors of Stages, both by land and water, are desired to govern themselves accordingly. By order of the Board, EDWARD GARRIGUES, President. PETER KEYSER, Secretary. The Printers generally are requested to give this a place in their papers as often as convenient.
The Editor of the Baltimore Federal Gazette, says the Health of our city has been such as its best friends could have wished, till within the last week, when owing to the late dry season, several deaths occurred at Fell's Point, from autumnal fevers, and gave rise to various groundless rumors, and among others to that which appeared in yesterday's Gazette, but which on investigation, we find to possess no better foundation than others floating about; the report of a letter having been received by our board of health not being accurate. The board are actively engaged in consulting measures for preserving the health of the city, and diligent in their enquiries after suspicious symptoms. As yet, we are happy to learn, (and we have our information from some of the board) that not a solitary case of imported or contagious fever has come under their observation in town or country. The inhabitants of the latter, like those of the necks are much troubled at present with the common autumnal or bilious fever; but the town is unusually exempt from even that.
Should the occasion require it, we have every assurance from the characters of the gentlemen who compose the board of health that they will not be backward in giving a true state of the city to their fellow-citizens. Thursday and Friday last were the days appointed by law for electing the Representatives to Congress and to the State Legislature, in the State of North Carolina.
On Friday last, Buonaparte, Consul of France, entered the 32d year of his age. He was born August 15th, 1769, in Corsica, has no wife. He has three brothers, Lucien, French minister of the Interior; Joseph, one of the commissioners treating with the United States; and Louis, who commands a regiment in La Vendee. He has also three sisters, one of whom is married to Gen. Muret.
ELECTIONEERING!
ON the ensuing Grand Election in December, the following names will compose the STANCH FEDERAL LIST, viz.
JOHN ADAMS, CHARLES COTSWORTH PINCKNEY, And the more to this list will be "Baptist or Dye." DEMOCRATIC LIST, No 1. JOHN ADAMS, ANY BODY—except C. C. PINCKNEY. The more "Better half a loaf than no bread" Remarks.—If the Federal Electors throw away their votes, Jefferson will again come in Vice-President, though a majority of all the Electors be Federal. For though he should not have a majority of the votes, he will have more single number to the President. If the Election of Massachusetts and N. Hampshire, at the last election had given an unanimous vote for "ADAMS and PINCKNEY," Mr. Jefferson never would have been Vice-President—Learn to be wise from former ills, and then shall do full well.

Our Envoys to France.
MR. EDITOR, THAT arch-politician and sapient news-monger Duane, has favoured the public with his remarks, comments and illustrations upon the intelligence from France respecting the rupture of negotiations between our Envoys and the French government. So long as this man confines his researches to domestic occurrences, his falsehoods and misrepresentations are unworthy a serious refutation; but when he undertakes to palm upon his readers his crude conjectures of the truth or falsehood of foreign intelligence, it is only necessary, in order to correct the errors, which his statements create, to lay before the public, the evidence on which that intelligence rests.
It appears then, that a gentleman, who came as a passenger in the Brig Amazon, arrived at New York, from St. Sebastians, states as a fact that four days previous to his departure from St. Sebastians, he received two letters from Bordeaux, dated the 1st of July, which mentioned the receipt, at Bordeaux, of several letters from Paris to the following purport—
That a suspension of the negotiation between our commissioners and those of France had actually taken place in consequence of the French refusing to indemnify us for the vessels captured, unless we would agree to renew the treaty of 1778, or make one similar to it.
Now this is the evidence, upon which Duane says, two of the New York papers, "in order to take the edge from the recent "advice from Europe, have asserted that "the negotiations between our ministers "and those of France are suspended &c."
It is true, that this intelligence is not direct and official from our envoys, themselves, but it is worthy of very considerable credit, for the very reason, which Duane gives for disbelieving it, viz. because the French government has refused to make restitution for the illegal captures of our merchant vessels, unless our envoys would consent to a renewal of the Treaty of 1778—Every body knows how extremely favorable to France and oppressive to America, was that treaty of 1778, made by old Franklin, and nothing could be more likely than that the French commissioners should in their generous way of doing these things, insist upon the unqualified renewal of that fatal treaty, as the sine qua non, of making restitution for our unlawful captured vessels; and nothing could be more likely than that the American envoys were instructed, to consent or agree to no such disgraceful condition. Here the parties were fairly and naturally at issue, and here they broke off the negotiation.
Oh, but says citizen Duane—"Upon the face of these assertions, they carry contradiction with them." Why? Mark his reason, "which was not given upon compulsion," but spontaneously and with free will—For, says he, "if any dispute or difference could arise, it would not be in so general a way, as an objection to pay for property illegally taken." Now, in a general way, I am apt to think, "a difference or dispute" would more readily "arise" in a French negotiation, from an objection on their part to pay for property "illegally taken," than from any other cause, general or special; for we know, as was lately stated in your Gazette, Mr. Editor, that although the French have a strong hankering after other people's property, and have often been known to take it by violence, yet in a general way, they "forget to pay."
I must confess, Mr. Editor, that this objection of citizen Duane, does not invalidate, in my mind, the probability, that the report of the negotiation being broken off, is true. I am one of those who never thought or believed that the French government would pay or make restitution for the property they have stolen from our countrymen. I did think they might promise our Envoys, most faithfully, that they would do it; and then send them home as full of promises and professions as their pockets could hold, but without a sou in their purses. Such would be the style of French negotiation, in a general way.
Duane, unblushingly asserts that he is possessed of a copy of the Decree of the French Consuls, which goes to place America on the same footing with regard to France, as she was by the treaty of 1778. I undertake to say, that he is possessed of no such Decree, which (to use his own phraseology) goes to establish this relation—The Decree to which he refers under this character, is one passed shortly after the commencement of Consul King Buonaparte's reign, and relates generally to neutral commerce, reviving the marine ordinances of France relative thereto, which were first created by the French monarchy in 1778, so that Citizen Duane, with all his sharp sighted sagacity, will not be able to convert this ardonance into a revival of the ancient relations between France and America, not even by the help of a falsehood into the bargain—Our vessels are still taken by French privateers, and condemned by French Courts, and this is what he calls a decree that goes to establish ancient relations. Even were the fact as he states it to be, the only answer I would be disposed to make, would be a plague of your relations—I will none of it.
Our merchants and our farmers and our mechanics ought to know the fact, that the Jacobins democratic-republicans have done and are still doing, by their emigrations at Paris, every thing in their power to prevent an honorable and satisfactory adjustment of our differences with France, in order that they may throw the odium upon the present Executive, and in order to relerve to the "man
of the people," whom they intend if they can to bring in as the next President, the honor of making a brief alliance and a speedy peace with the French Republic. This fact is notorious and Citizen Duane confesses it in his concluding sentence of remarks upon the Envoys intelligence, where he says, "that any attempts by the intrigues of Britain or their adherents to produce a rupture, would only confirm the people, more generally than they even now are, that it would be indispensably necessary to place Mr. Jefferson in the chair, because his desire for an universal peace, is well known."
This is the eternal and unvarying cant of Mr. Jefferson's adherents—He is the man of the people—He is the friend of universal peace—He loves France—And the climax of his merit is—That he detests Great Britain—Now, that universal peace is the object of Mr. Jefferson and his party, any more than it is the object of Mr. Adams and the Federal party, is what I deny—and the sending of the Envoys to France is a "confirmation strong," that peace with France was the object of the Federal Government, but it could not be made by our Envoys because Mr. Jefferson's party had written to the French Commissioners, that if they made a treaty with the Ministers, sent by Mr. Adams, it would prevent Mr. Jefferson—The friend of France, from being elected President, and that by delaying the treaty until the election was over and the result known—if Mr. Jefferson got in, he would make peace and a close alliance with them at once, without demanding any restitution for captured property. This is the way the Democrats work—this is their patriotism and by such arts and intrigues they attempt to serve the cause of their master the great historian of the huge Mammoth.

FROM THE CHIRPING GOBLER.
HONEST JACK'S ADVENTURES IN TOWN.
[To the tune of "Go patter to Lubbere and Swabbe, d'ye See."]
MY poor widow'd mother said one day to meek
You know by false friends, O the pity!
Our law suit is lost! then thy fortune go seek
With cousins and friends in the city;
Here's Suke the poor Orphan child of Friend
Sland
Who once kept thy father from starving—
When our friends make thy fortune, take her
by the hand
For a wife; for she's good and deserving.
But mind thee in heart this one maxim my Jack
Which pray often read in this BOOK,
MAKE HONOR THY GUIDE, or else never come
back
To thy poor widow'd mother, and Suke,
So I kiss'd Suke and Mother, and greatly con-
cern'd
Off I set with my poor mother's blessing
With our Jacobin Cousin the wine seller learn'd
About mixing, and brewing, and pressing;
But the sloe juice and rats-bane and all those
neat jokes
Were soon in my stomach a rising.
Why dang it, cried I, would you kill the poor
folks?
I thought you sold Wine, and not poison.
Your place, cousin Demo, won't do, for you lack
To make such broth another guest cook,
Beside without HONOR, I cannot go back
To my poor widow'd mother, and Suke.
To a levelling Doctor I next went my ways—
He taught me the mystery quickly,
Of those, that were dying to shorten the days
And those in good health to make sickly.
Him I left for an author who stole all his thoughts
A Jacobin Bookfeller told them,
My old Demo aunt found in innocence faults,
And made virtue blush as she told 'em.
With a prospect all round me so dismal and
black,
Scarce knowing on which side to look
I just saved my Honor and gladly came back
To my poor widow'd mother and Suke.
I found them as pure as the rose buds in June,
The law suit reversed, banish'd sorrow;
Dear mother said I my Honor's my own
"Thank God! and wed Suke to-morrow.
And how of our cousins?"—They're Jacobins
grown,
Where vice rides with folly behind her.
Not that I would say, there's no Honor in town.
I only say they could not find her.
For Honor to share, I was in the right track,
By Demo's and Deils o'erteak;
Thank God, from such Jacobins poor I've come
back
To my good Angel Mother, and Suke.
From a London paper.
Shaw vs. Lawton.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the Defendant for criminal conversation with his wife. The plaintiff was a Cooper, and being drawn to serve in the Middlesex militia, he was obliged to leave his wife in town to attend the regiment. He was absent from her for more than a year, and upon his return he found her with child. Upon inquiry, he learned that the defendant was the father. Only one Witness was called on the part of the prosecution, from whose evidence it was clear that the woman lived in an open state of prostitution during the absence of her husband, and that there were very strong grounds of suspicion that the husband was privy and consenting to his wife's infamy. Lord Eldon said that this case might be decided in the words of Lord Mansfield, who on a case which was tried before him, observed, that if a woman lives in a state of prostitution with the privy of her husband, an Action cannot be against any man who is thus drawn into connection with her. If the husband is not privy to the prostitution, an action may lie, and the prostitution is evident; if the Jury should think that the husband was not privy to it, it can however only go to lessen the damages. If they should think that he was privy to it, Action cannot lie.—Verdict for the defendant.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
May 27.
SITTINGS AFTER TERM IN MIDDLESEX.
ROTIER vs. TATHAM.
The Plaintiff is a sword cutler, near Chardin Cross, and he brought this action against the Defendant, an officer in the army, for the price of a sword, which the Defendant bought in his shop. It was proved in evidence that the Defendant came into the Plaintiff's shop and with an intention of buying a sword. He fixed upon one, which the Plaintiff informed him, was made for the prince of Wales but offered it to him for 28 guineas. The Defendant agreed to take it at this price, and said he would give his Note of Hand for the money. The sword was sent home to the Defendant's lodgings, and afterwards returned by him to get some alterations made in it, but he refused, after these alterations were made, to take the sword, or to give his Note of Hand for the twenty-eight guineas, alleging that it was not a good sword, or fit for service. Several sword cutlers stated that the sword was a good one, and fit for service, and worth the price.
On the part of the Defendant, a Major Flower swore, that the sword was not a good one; the tank, or part next the handle, being made of British iron, and being ill joined to the other part.
Lord Eldon said, that as the sword was not alleged to be altered from what it was when the Defendant agreed to pay 28 guineas for it in the Plaintiff's shop, he thought he was liable for this sum, and more especially as the evidence of the sword cutlers proved the sword to be fit for service. Verdict for the Plaintiff 28 guineas.

TO PYRRHA.
"Quis multa gracilis te prue in rosa?" &c. &c.
WHAT gentle youth, in flow'rs and fragrance
drest,
Now clasps thee, PYRRHA, in his glowing arms?
With touch of am'rous fire unzones thy break,
And riots, bloom'd, o'er its heaving charms!
For whom is 'ady'd now that simple grace
Which pleats thy robe in many a careless fold?
For whom, with blushing radiance lights thy face,
And float those wavy curls of threaded gold?
Alas, for him! too soft-confiding youth,
Who trusts the transient summer of thy smile,
Receives thy easy vows for tests of truth,
Nor dreams how foully fair is women's guile
Infatuate Dupe! too soon, yet, ah! too late
Thy perjur'd, and, himself undone, he'll find;
Then with availless curls brand his fate,
Uproad the world, and call the Gods unkind!
This heart a Roin's shield of passion saves,
And lets me view, uncharm'd, thy Circe-form;
So Ocean's soft, clear front, and fun-like waves—
The CALM invites—but then I dread the
Storm!
