300 Dollars REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 18th of June inst. TWO NEGRO SERVANTS; viz a negro woman named Pat, a washer-woman and cook, of about fifty two years of age - tall and well shaped, of a black complexion. She has bad teeth, those of her under jaw are much discoloured and project a good deal. She has a full head of woolly hair - a very cross forbidding countenance, is very impertinent, and laughs and talks loud. Pat was born in South-Carolina, and speaks bad English, with the negro dialect. She has on the upper part of her breast, two pretty large lumps of flesh resembling Wens, or rather with the appearance of the marks of a burn. She carried away with her several changes of clothes, and gowns of white mouselin, and of coloured and figured printed cottons fashionably made up. She also carried away with her. CLARA her daughter - a very stout, robust, strong made girl, of a short stature, and round shouldered - appearing to be about 14 years of age. Clara has large staring eyes, a flat nose, an oval flat face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artful and impudent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good language, and has been taught to read - she has the appearance of being worn on her left cheek and chin; the skin in spots appearing much paler than the rest of her complexion, which is much lighter than her mother's - her hair is short and woolly. She wore a pink grounded printed cotton with a small black figure, with new fore parts. Also ran away, on Wednesday the 11th inst. June, DICK and AMELIA. Dick, or as he has lately called himself, Richard Weaver, is a house-servant, - he is about 5 feet 7 inches high, rather small made, is about 25 years old of a good smooth, black complexion - has a flat nose, with very large open nostrils. He carried his head and neck as if he were stiff in the neck and shoulders, which are high and tolerably square, and his neck short - his legs are straight but small and ill made, with bare ankles. He has had bad teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward - he has a full head of woolly hair, which he plaited and dresses to the best advantage. His voice is small, his speech commonly mild and slow, and his manners appear extremely simple, but he is at bottom an artful knave, and when spoken to is very apt to be passionate and impertinent. Dick is a native of South-Carolina, and speaks bad English - he seduced and carried away with him Amilia who he called his wife. Amilia is a very complete, well instructed lady maid, much below the common stature and of a small make - her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or melizozo, nearly resembling that of the Lascars of India, with black curling hair, and a very low forehead - her right eye has a great weakness, owing to the small pox in her infancy - under her eyes, very black - a flat face, flat broad nose, with scarce any rising at the bridge; a large mouth, with thick lips, and good strong teeth. On the nape of her neck she has the marks of a scar. Dresses with taste, and imitates the French style; is very sensible, and expresses herself well. She took with her a variety of clothes, fashionably made - she has for more than two years past been liable to fits, which at times give her a wildness in her eyes - her health is generally delicate - she is at present likely to enclose her family, and is about 22 years of age - she can dress hair, clear starch, has a taste for military and mantua-making; and as she is very ingenious, can turn her hand to anything and may probably offer herself to some milliner or mantua maker as a work-woman. As Amilia has heretofore been a great favourite of a very indulgent mistress, and 'tis believed has been led away by the persuasion of her paramour Dick, if she will return to me, she will be forgiven and treated with the same tenderness she has always received. FIFTY DOLLARS Reward for each will be paid for the delivery of Pat and Clara to the subscriber, or to any goal in the United States so that they may get possession of them - One Hundred Dollars each for Dick and Amelia, on the like delivery. The subscriber warns all master of vessels, from taking these Runaway servants from the United States, and requests such of his friends and acquaintance as it may not suit to arrest them, to give information, should they hear of either of the fugitives, to the subscriber by letter directed to the post office, Philadelphia, which will find him, wherever he may pass the summer, or to the Printer of the Gazette of the United States, who will communicate it to a friend in Philadelphia to act on his behalf.

CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, Received at New-York per the ship Factor from London.
LONDON, June 2.
The intelligence received by government on Saturday morning, and which we gave to our readers in our paper of that day, exclusively, was yesterday published in a London Gazette Extraordinary , to be found in our preceding columns.
We shall not here undertake to comment on the happy events of which we receive information, nor to recapitulate the intelligence by the last Hamburg mail. We shall prefer taking a systematic view of the situation of affairs in Germany and in Italy, according to the most recent intelligence. Some weeks commonly elapse in every campaign, before the plans of both parties are developed. The moment is arrived when those formed by the French and the Austrians are fully manifested, and we cannot suffer it to pass without notice.
It cannot be doubted that gen. Melas before he entered upon the campaign, must have estimated much better than all those who venture to criticise his conduct, what he might have to apprehend from the French army of reserve. Not willing to wait for the moment in which he would find himself pressed in the plains of Piedmont, between the two armies of Massena and of Buonaparte, descending, the one from the Upper Alps, and the other from the Maritime Alps, he felt the necessity of getting rid of one of them, and took advantage of the moment when the former was yet abandoned to his own forces, in order to attack him with all those under his command. The capital manoeuvre by which he cut in two the army of Massena, is yet recent in the memory of every one; it was the same which general Beauharnais attempted against Buonaparte, on the same spot, in 1796, but he had too few soldiers to succeed and was badly seconded by General D'Argenteau. General Melas having a stronger army, and better officers, obtained the most complete success, and pursued it as far as it could be carried. After several difficult movements, and a number of murderous engagements, he forced Massena to shut himself up in Genoa. This object having been accomplished, the Austrian general had nothing to do but to secure, by well-chosen and entrenched positions, the blockade of that city. Till that was done, and till Massena was reduced in Genoa to a state of siege, the Imperial army took no repose. By that time the month of April had elapsed. During this time Berthier and Buonaparte were ostensibly preparing for the invasion of the north of Italy, and General Melas must have been fully sensible that he should be obliged before the end of May, to make head against the co-operation of Massena; but such yet remained master of the mountains in the country of Nice and of Oneglia, and could descend from them into the plain at the same moment that Berthier came thither from the Upper Alps. Gen. Melas wisely judged that he ought to get rid of the first before the second could come up. He therefore quitted Genoa, reinforced General Elritz, and while a corps detached from Coni forced the Col de Tende, he marched with a superior force against Suchet, and gained over him the great and decisive advantages, the record of which we find in the Gazette Extraordinary . Thus, as early as the 11th ult. the French were no longer in possession of an inch of ground in the Maritime Alps: they could no more threaten Piedmont. The rear of Gen. Melas was secured, and he had no enemy remaining in Italy excepting Massena, shut up by superior forces in the lines of Genoa, and wholly incapable of affording, or being assisted by any co-operation. All this happened five days before the first French pickets had passed the St. Bernard, and more no doubt than ten before a sufficient number of troops, and a quantity of artillery and cavalry could have advanced beyond the valley of Aosta, and undertaken any thing serious. Gen. Melas has therefore had as much time as he wanted, to march with all the forces, henceforth at his disposition, to the Po, and to go to meet the army of reserve, which we may be assured is far from being as numerous as the French and their partisans would make us believe. Thus we see, that in a few days Gen. Melas has by his address and by the valor of his troops, drawn himself from the embarrassment in which he was supposed to be, that the military horizon has been cleared, and that it now presents but two armies in opposition to each other; Suchet and Massena are both kept back on the other side of the Maritime Alps, and cannot again appear upon the scene. We should be inclined to anticipate future events by our conjecture, if we were not fearful of wasting the time of our readers, and had not also here some observation to make respecting Germany. In that quarter also we have seen the assailants successful to a certain degree. Moreau, availing himself of the decisive advantage which the possession of Switzerland affords for attacking Suabia, which it flanks, and being able at pleasure to concentrate all his forces, while his adversary could not do so, succeeded in turning the Black Forest, in reaching the Danube, and in detaching the Austrians from the Lake of Constance. Compelled still more by local circumstances than by the fate of engagements to retreat, general Kray has done so, slowly and in order, as far as the Iller. All the ground which the French have gained as far as that river, was almost the necessary result of their first manoeuvre: but there they were obliged to stop. General Kray, although inferior in number, has taken his measure with courage and ability.
He has sent all his forces to his two wings, and has supported his right by the strong position of Ulm: his left, reinforced by the corps of the prince de Reuss, has proceeded to take post at the foot of the mountains and the defiles of the Tyrol. The space between these two points has remained open, and the French appeared to have it in their power to push into Bavaria. All those who rejoice or who are alarmed too easily at their successes, have not for a moment doubted that Moreau would hasten to advance into the plains between the Iller and the Lech: but that general has been fully sensible that he could not without danger, at least at present, venture thither; and that if he did so, he would have the two corps of the Austrian army on his flanks, while he would have met in centre the line of troops which the Elector of Bavaria was assembling on the Lech, and which all the force from Austria, and Bohemia were about to reinforce. This situation of affairs must have kept Moreau in suspense, and we see it has done so for several days. It is impossible for us to say whether it will keep him any longer in that state, but ten or twelve days were with respect to the future, every thing in the present circumstances, and General Kray has gained them.
Having thus pointed out what appears to us to have been hitherto the system of the two plans of offensive attack; if we proceed to take a general view of the whole of the campaign, we see that the French had this year, as in 1799, formed a general plan, in which the army of Moreau was the left, the army of Reserve the centre, and the army of Massena the Right Wing. This latter was to remain on the defensive, to endeavour to pass the Austrian army in the mountains of the Maritime Alps. The left was, during the same time, to advance in Germany, and to endeavour by taking possession of the Tyrol, to cut off the communication between General Kray and Melas. Buonaparte was then to come in the centre, to overwhelm the latter, and to take Italy a second time. This vast plan has failed where it was natural to suppose it would. One of the three parts of the French army is no longer in existence, or at least has lost the position in which it would be useful. The line of the French is therefore broken, and the centre and left will feel the reverse. We shall terminate these observations by remarking, that on considering all the forces opposed to each other, from the Danube to the Mediterranean, as a single line the left has on each side obtained success; but besides those of Moreau being far from possessing such importance as those of Melas, the first is marching against the centre, whence all the Austrian Monarchy set out, while the second is on the most remote frontiers of France. Moreau is attacking the strongest part of the line of the Imperialists, Melas the weakest part of that of the French.
June 4.
His Majesty this day entered into his sixty third year; and when we trace the records of British History, it is no flattery to say, that the British Throne has never been graced by a monarch who has exhibited such an uniform pattern of private virtue, or a brighter example of genuine patriotism. Other monarchs of this country have been distinguished for their taste for military glory, but the manners of the times are changed, and our monarchs now do not risk the happiness of the Empire by personal danger. The firmness, however, that his present Majesty has displayed upon many occasions not less trying than what are incurred in the field of battle, and particularly in the recent attack upon his life, entitles us to presume that if he had been personally called to the flock of war, his spirit and enterprise would most probably have equalled the most celebrated of our martial Kings. Such a monarch, while he looks back upon the page of history, must enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that he adds new lustre to that page, and affords a model which all future Princes may be proud to imitate, and cannot hope to excel.
The Prince of Württemberg, younger brother to the reigning Duke, arrived at Gravesend on Monday night, with his Princess, from the Continent. They were obliged to lodge in a garret in the Inn, all the beds being pre-occupied. They were waiting yesterday at Gravesend the receipt of passports to enable them to come to town.
By some merchants who landed on Monday evening from Hamburg, and who came over in the same packet with the Prince of Württemberg, we learn that Wheat had fallen very much in price at Hamburg, and that a very large quantity was ready shipped there for this country.
The French Emigrants, with the Princes at their head, have within these few days, with very becoming gratitude and christian sympathy, offered up a public religious thanksgiving for the late miraculous escape of his Majesty.
This evening the usual mails will be made up at the General Post Office, for Jamaica, and the Leeward Islands and America, to be conveyed to the West Indies in an armed cutter, which will sail from Falmouth on Saturday or Sunday next, and to America in the Leicester packet, Capt. Sharpe.
The troops have failed for the Mediterranean, from Cork, under convoy of several frigates. Those now ready at Portsmouth for the same destination, were to follow as soon as the wind would permit.
The cargoes of the fleet recently arrived from India, namely, the Sir E. Hughes, Dublin, Offerly, Calcutta, Ocean, Earl Cornwallis, Coverdale, Contractor, and Phoenix, comprise 52,486 bags of Sugar, 17,500 bags of Saltpeetre, 5,161 bales of piece goods, 72 casks of nutmegs, 7 of oil of do. with a considerable quantity of drugs, cotton, thread, &c.
The flag of truce which arrived from the Batavian Government, relates to a negotiation now carrying on with respect to the freedom of the Herring Fishery.
The importation of wheat at Liverpool from America and the Baltic, between the 7th and 29th of May, comprised 64,829 bags, and 11,463 quarters. There were likewise received 100 tierces, and 5,612 barrels of wheat flour, exclusive of large supplies of rye, barley, &c.
May 27.
Yesterday the Attorney General informed the Court of King's Bench, that a bill of Indictment for High Treason had been found by the Grand Jury of the county of Middlesex against James Hadfield, for shooting at his Majesty; he therefore moved the court, that a copy of the Indictment, together with a list of the Jury, and the witnesses against him, should forthwith be sent to him, as well as the usual notice when his trial would commence.
Yesterday Doctors Willis, Munro, and Simmons, went to Newgate, at the desire of the Duke of Portland, to enquire into the state of Hadfield's health. We are not acquainted with their report; but we understand that he is confined in a cell on the State side of Newgate: he is so outrageous and frantic in his behaviour, but whether real or affected insanity we presume not to know, that the Governor has been obliged to put him under a degree of restraint.
It must give satisfaction to the public to be informed, that vast quantities of Grain have been lately imported into this country, there having been entered at one port only viz. (Liverpool), in the space of 8 or 9 days 481,177 bushels of corn, chiefly wheat; 39 barrels, and 1438 tierces of rice; and 4421 barrels of fine flour, which must tend to reduce considerably the price of this necessary article of life.
June 4.
The average price of Rice, computed from the return made for the week ending the 28 day of May, 1800, is Thirty-four shillings and seven pence farthing per hundred wt.
Wheat has fallen 20 shillings per quarter in Hull market. The commercial intercourse between Holland and France and this Country is increasing daily; our imports include large supplies of potatoes, pork, bacon, beef, wheat, oats, leather, hides, madder, Gin, currents wine, linen, &c. and our exports embrace most articles of our Colonial produce, and certain prohibited goods exported by certificate. Considerable quantities of sugar, coffee, calicoes, &c. were on Saturday entered at the Custom house for Antwerp, Calais, Dieppe, Ostend, Amsterdam and Rotterdam; and there are now in the river several vessels for each of these ports.
One hundred and seven tons of potatoes were during the last week, received from Holland.
CORSICA.
An Insurrection has taken place in Corsica. The French Republicans were defeated in an engagement, in which they assembled all their force. One French General was wounded; and another taken prisoner.
LONDON, June 4.
It has been reported that a Treaty of Alliance, offensive and defensive, has been concluded between the Courts of Russia and Prussia the object of which is to procure, by an armed mediation, peace for the Continent of Europe.
From a French journal of the 17th of May we learn, that Paul I has prohibited the English at Petersburg from quitting that city until further orders.
The news of the defeat of the Turkish Army by Kleber deserves no credit.

THANKSGIVING.
Prayers of thanksgiving were yesterday offered up in all the churches of this metropolis, for the late providential escape of his Majesty from assassination.
A special commission will immediately pass the great seal for the trial of James Hadfield: the heinous nature of the offence demands a summary judgment.
The King speaks of the affectioned solicitude and active exertion of all his royal sons in terms of the highest satisfaction. The Prince never took repose till he had learned all the evidence that could be adduced against Hadfield, and clearly ascertained, in the presence of proper witnesses, the places and directions in which the daggers entered the state box; of all which particulars he made a full report on Friday morning to their Majesties, at Buckingham house.
The Duke of Clarence, on the address of congratulations to his Majesty, on his late happy escape from assassination, being reported in the house of lords, burst into tears, by this amiable trait of filial tenderness and love, deeply interesting every beholder.
An insane Collier, with whom it seems the assassin Hadfield, some days previous to his diabolical attempt, had some conversation, has been examined. His name is Truelock, and he lives near White Conduit House, Islington. He said that he was a defendant of God—nay, that he was God himself; that he had seen him lately at Highgate, and received from him all his power; and that he was determined in a few days to destroy all the world, in which work he was to have the assistance of Gog and Magog. God, he said, was a good looking man, and it was his intention to make Hadfield his son. Such was the incongruous and absurd testimony of this ridiculous frantic zealot.
The overland despatches received from India on Wednesday, brought letters from Madras, dated the 23rd of December, at
which time the Presidency enjoyed the most perfect and prosperous tranquillity. Mr. Petrie had been nominated to succeed Lord Clive in the government, in the expected event of his lordship's retiring. Promotion had been extremely rapid in the military, as well as the civil department, in consequence of which, there were three hundred vacancies for Cadets on the Madras establishment alone.
It was yesterday reported that the Admiralty had received an account from the Mediterranean, that two frigates, attempting to make their escape out of Malta, had been captured by the British ships cruising off that island, and that a number of officers, with considerable treasure, had been found on board.

Extract of letters from Vice-Admiral Lord Keith, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean, to Evan Nepean, Esq. Secretary of the Admiralty, dated on board the Minotaur, off Genoa, the 3d and 6th May, 1800.
On the 21th ult. Gen. D'Ott communicated to me his intention of making a general attack on all sides of Genoa, and requested co-operation that we might settle the plan. At three A. M. on the 30th, the attack began on the part of gen. D'Ott, by signal from St. Pierre d'Arèna, on Quarto, St. Martino, by general Gottenheim, who pressed the enemy up to the wall near the shore, under cover of the fire of the Phoenix, Mondovi, Enteryrenante, Victor tender, launches and boats of the squadron. The affair continued until night, when the Austrians retired, being unable to dislodge the enemy from the little fort of St. Martino, situated on a hill about two miles from the sea. Gen. D'Ott was most successful in seizing Dui Frattelli, by Escalade, and blocking up Diamonti; on the side of St. Martino the French durst not follow the Austrians, in consequence of the well directed fire of the squadron. It rained the whole day. Shells from the town fell among the ships. The French, however, on the same evening attacked and repossessed themselves of all their former posts. It is reported they lost many men, as far as fifteen hundred. On the 2d the enemy made a desperate sortie on lieutenant general D'Ott's centre at Sestri. They kept advancing in columns to the muzzles of the cannon repeatedly for an hour, and did not retire till they lost twelve hundred men, of whom twenty officers and two hundred and eighty privates are prisoners. On the 4th I received a letter from the General, informing me that the French had retired to St. Espirito, and had sustained a considerable loss on the 2d at Louana. He says, that he was much indebted to the fire of the Phoenix, &c. and to the good management of Captain Morris. On the 7th, two mortar boats and two gun boats arrived from Naples. The same day I heard from General Melas, that the French had burnt their magazines at Alassio, and had retired to Port Maurice; and that captain Morris had seized twenty corn vessels and a depot of arms, and galled the enemy's rear through several miles of their retreat. Two of Massena's Staff were taken in a small boat near Albanga in attempting to escape from Genoa.
Copy of a letter from Vice-Admiral Lord Keith to Evan Nepean, dated Minotaur, off Genoa, 10th May 1800.
SIR,
I have the honor of inclosing a copy of a letter received by me at a late hour last night from his excellency General Melas, which will convey to their Lordships the most satisfactory accounts of the progress of the Austrian arms, and of the retreat of the enemy's army from the Genoese territory. I have the honor to be, &c. &c.
KEITH.
Head Quarters, Oneglia. May 8, 1800.
My Lord, we have been very successful yesterday. The right wing of the army, commanded by General Elritz, who was on Monte Garro, attacked the enemy at Muchio della Pierre, and succeeded so well, that at nine o'clock in the morning victory was declared in his favour. The general of division Gravier, with a great number of officers and fifteen hundred non-commissioned officers and privates were made prisoners. The right of the enemy, informed of the defeat of its left, did not delay retreating from Cepo di Berta. We have pursued him beyond Port Maurice. Fifteen pieces of cannon of different sizes have been taken from him along the coast. Our loss has not been considerable; but I regret the loss of major general Brentano, mortally wounded, and major C. fate killed. The corps of gen. Elritz is now at St. Bartholomew, and gen. Gouroupp marches with his flying corps to Colla Ardente, and his van guard is already at Broglio, behind the Col de Tende. I wait for the report of the patrols, who are in the pursuit of the enemy, to make my final dispositions. In the mean while, I request your excellency to accept the respect with which I have the honor to be, &c.
MELAS.

ARMY OF EGYPT.
PARIS, May 24.
Advices from Constantinople, dated the 24th of Floreal (April 14) state, that a British squadron had appeared before Alexan-
dria, the commander of which declared, that he had orders to stop all vessels that might issue from that port.
Yesterday the Spanish ambassador communicated officially to government a dispatch he had just received from Vienna. The subject of it was, that the difficulties started by the allies, to the execution of the convention of the 8th Pluviose, had obliged the army of Egypt to pursue a conduct analogous to circumstances.
Vienna letters announce that Kleber has entirely defeated the army of the Grand Vizier. This unexpected news is given as certain; it will appear probable if we recollect that the treaty obliged the Turks to furnish the French with transports from the coalesced powers and that the refusal of Keith rendered that engagement impossible to be executed. It is in fact probable, that under such circumstances Kleber would be constrained to employ force to oppose the occupying of Grand Cairo, and the positions which would guarantee the safety of the army.
The ratification of the treaty reached Lord Keith, at Leghorn, about the 10th Floreal (30th of March.) It will not have been known in Egypt till long after the event announced by the Vienna letters.
The enemy have dared to make an excursion into the Maritime Alps, but their presence will not long fully the soil of the republic, and the march of the army of reserve will soon force them to abandon it, if they do not voluntarily do it soon. Great praise is due to the conduct of citizens Charles Lacroix and Lecointre Puyrreaux, Prefect of the commissioner general of police for the Bouches-du-Rhone: Citizen Fauchet, Prefect of the Department of the Var, led in person columns of the national guards against the enemy. The fairest days of the republic never exhibited more energy, [ Journal des Hommes Libres. ]
The Ottoman Porte ought to have congratulated itself on the treaty of Egypt; by this treaty the invasion of the French had turned out advantageous to the Sultan. We have subdued for him the Mamelucks—we have recovered for him an important part of his states, where his authority had long been disowned. The obstacles which the English opposed to the execution of the capitulation could not but be likely to become fatal to the Turkish empire. Kleber has already beat the army of the Grand Vizier, who wished to take possession of Cairo, before he had furnished the French army with the stipulated transports; and if we take a view of the present state of Turkey, and the different circumstances which have attended the expedition to Egypt, we shall be less alarmed for the situation of the French in that country.
The army of the Grand Vizier did not reach Damascus till after a march of eight months—its passage through Syria, and its arrival at Damascus, were a continued scene of desolation and disorder. Insurrection, desertion, pillage, heads cut off in camp, as well as in towns and other parts of the country, are all facts attested by eye witnesses. The Vizier having fallen sick in a convent of dervises took it in his head before the capture of El Arish, that to secure himself from Buonaparte, whom he was about to attack, he could not do so but by building a wall across the desert.
His physicians and his treasurer made him renounce his project, and a corps of 12,000 men were necessary to carry El Arish. What then would have been the progress of this army without the capitulation? The Pacha Djezzar had refused to join the Grand Vizier, and seemed rather to act against him than to obey his orders—He had signified to him that he must take another route than that of St. John of Acre, and the Vizier did not dispute these orders from this Ispahtern. Djezzar had likewise sent him his resignation of the Pachalic of Damascus, and forbidden all the districts subject to his authority to furnish provisions to his army. The Imperial army, estimated at 36,000 men, was encumbered with a third more of servants or women, and could not cross the desert but by transporting water, provisions, and fodder, on camels. The French, masters of the wells, had only to attack the camels, to starve and annihilate the army.

Report presented by the minister of the Interior to the Consuls of the Republic.
"Citizens Consuls, I have the honor to announce you a number of the Journal entitled the Ami des Loix , which you will find annexed to this report.
"This Journal might have published his opinions respecting the institute with becoming decency; but he could not without deserving to be suppressed indulge himself in throwing ridicule and treating with sarcasm a set of men who do honour to the Republic by their learning and talents, and who every day are extending the sphere of human knowledge. I demand of you, Citizens Consuls, the suppression of this Journal, every number of which is marked by characters which have little resemblance to its name.
"As the friends of the arts, and under this name the defender of every thing which is interesting to them, I demand of you Citizens Consuls, the suppression of the Journal entitled the Ami des Loix .

2d. That the Ministers of the Interior and of the General Police are entrusted with

the execution of this decree, which, along with the report of the Minister of the Interior, shall be inserted in the Bulletin of the laws.
In the absence of the First Consul, (Signed) CAMBACERES, Second Consul.
Bonaparte writes that he is beyond the St. Bernard. The 25th of Cavalry is just going to march to the army of reserve. This might a mill tray commission, convoluted by General Lecourbe, has condemned to death the commissary of war of the first class Pommier. He was convicted of having endangered the safety of the army, by converting into money for his own profit a requisition of provisions made for the army at Kimpfen, 7,000 l. were pocketed by him, and the army was in want of bread. The Council of revision, to which he has appealed, will be occupied by this affair. May this example strike horror into the men who scatter desolation through the conquered Countries, produce scarcity on the route of the army, and throw disgrace on the French name! It was worthy of the austere Lecourbe to be first to give such an example. By rewarding among those who have distinguished themselves Fusiliers, Cannoneers, Drummers and Waggoners, he has encreased a hundred fold the emulation of all classes of the army.
MILAN, April 29.
Admiral Keith has declared, that he would order any Captain of a ship to be hanged, who should assist Massena in effecting his escape.
May 1.
General Melas, on summoning Massena to surrender the city of Genoa, wrote to him in the following terms:
" GENERAL, "Fortune has not crowned your bravery, which entitles you to my esteem, and to that of the whole world. With but a small number of men, you was forced to give way to my exertions, and you did it with honour. But I think it is time to listen to the voice of humanity. General Suchet has yesterday been defeated at St. Giacomo, and you have no longer any hopes to resist my forces. You will be accountable for the blood that shall be spilt hereafter, and you will complete the miseries of a people who have already suffered so much."
"The city is exposed to the greatest calamities, it is menaced by pillage and all the horrors of war, if the country people should enter it with fury in their hearts, without a capitulation having previously been concluded. I cannot entirely answer for my victorious troops. Listen to the voice of humanity, and sacrifice the glory of having defended yourself to the last drop of blood, to the true glory and to the admiration which no one will then deny you. I offer you the most honourable capitulation which a warrior of your character merits, to prove to you the esteem and the most perfect respect with which I am, &c."
MELAS.
To which General Massena returned the following answer:
Head Quarters at Genoa, April 21.
"General, I have received the letter which you have done me the honor to write to me, and by which you offer me an honourable capitulation. General, I am not yet reduced to that situation. I have still a sufficiency of troops to enable me to defend myself, altho' General Suchet may have been beaten, which I have good reason to believe is not the case. "MASSENA."

Commissioners in France.
A gentleman in this city says the Editor of the New-York Daily Advertiser, has received a letter from an official character in Europe, dated the 4th of May last, which states, that he had information from our Envoys to France as late as the 1st of May That at that date they had EFFETED NOTHING —that they had indeed been treated civilly —but that they had made NO progress in Negotiation .
How long must the American government continue in this humiliating posture—Has it not stooped low enough to check the clamours of a daring faction—Has it not done enough to satisfy the doubts of the most weak and credulous?—After this third fruitless endeavour to bring the haughty and perfidious rulers of France to some terms of accommodation—will there be found one American so devoid of national attachment as to continue a moment longer the advocate of foreign influence, and of the degradation and ruin of his own country?—Three months have elapsed, and our Ambassadors have done NOTHING —They have no doubt been amused with promises in abundance—They have had a conference or two, we have heard, with persons specially appointed, by that intriguing government. Dispositions, amicable to our nation have been expressed. The utmost personal respect has been shewn. The cant and fling about the friendship that should subsist between two sister republics has been repeated; without betraying a smile!—And very probably they have gone so far as to talk about those lawless marauders that have depredated on our commerce—Meantime all has been hollow-hearted and insincere—The tyrant, unsettled on his throne, or determined to make us drink the last dregs of the cup of national debasement, invents pretext after pretext for procrastinating discussion, and for finally throwing the blame of this new abortion on our Commissioners or our government.
If we may hazard a conjecture, it is, that the next news we hear of our Envoys, will be of their arrival in America—which we may now daily look for!
Captain Goodrich, arrived at New York, from Teneriffe, informs, that on the 30th of May, a French 20 gun brig arrived there in 20 days from Brest, called the Volney; the captain of which informed the Governor that he had positive orders not to capture or molest any American vessels; and further, that he had met three American vessels on his passage from Brest, and supplied them with provisions. On the same day arrived there, the French privateer ship La Mouche, of 16 guns, captain Plaizard, with an English Guineaman, her prize, taken after an engagement of 4 hours.

Que dis-je, hélas! diffère encore, Diffère un moment à t' ouvrir, L'instant qui doit te faire éclore Est celui qui doit te flétrir. Thémise est une fleur nouvelle, Qui subira la même loi, Rose, tu dois briller come elle, Elle doit passer comme toi. Descends de ta tige épineuse, Viens la pater de tes couleurs, Tu dois être la plus heureuse, Comme la plus belle des fleurs. Va, meurs sur le sein de Thémise, Qu'il soit ton trône et ton tombeau, Jaloux de ton sort je m' aspire Qu'au bonheur d'un trépas si beau. Tu vivras plus d'un jour peut-être Sur l'autel que tu dois parer, Un soupir t'y fera remître, Si Thémise peut soupirer. Fais lui sentir par mes alarmes Leprix du plus grand de ses biens, En voyant expirer tes charmes Quelle apprenne à jouir des siens. Si quelque main à l'empêtridence D'y venir troubler mon repos Emporte avec toi ma vengeance Garde une épine à mes vœux.

ARISTOCRACY.
"If we neither policy nor utility, in laying down a principle, that the opinion of a majority of men, told by the head , is to be considered as the law of the land; this surely is acting in defiance of every political principle. To enable men to act with weight and consistency, and to answer the purposes of society, the weak, the ignorant, and the unprovided, must be conducted by the wife, the expert, and the opulent. Numbers, it must be confessed, are always of consideration; but they are not the whole consideration. Aristocracy is not a separate interest in a state—it is formed by legitimate preclusions, which taken as generalities, may be admitted for actual truths."
"To be bred in a place of estimation; to see nothing low, and sordid from one's infancy; to be taught to respect one's self; to be habituated to the censural inspection of the public eye, to stand on an elevated ground, and to be enabled to take a large view of the wide-spread and infinitely diversified combinations of men and things; to have leisure to read, reflect, and converse, to associate with the wise and learned; to be habituated in armies to command and obey; to be taught to despise danger in pursuit of honor and duty; to be led to a guarded and regulated conduct, from a sense that you are considered as an instructor of your fellow citizens in their highest concerns, and that you act as a reconciler between God and man; to be employed as an administrator of law and justice; to be a professor of high science, of liberal and ingenious art.—These are circumstances which form, what I should call, a natural aristocracy. To give no more importance in the social order to such descriptions of men, than to so many units, is a gross absurdity, a vile and horrible usurpation."
I am not acquainted with the country, where this description of aristocracy exists in any considerable degree. It is certain, the infant States of North-America cannot justly boast of it. Time, occasion, and noble example have been wanting among us, to form this superior Corinthian order of society: but there are, nevertheless, grades of merit, which entitle some men before others, to the public esteem and confidence, sufficient perhaps for all the existing exigencies of the commonwealth.
It is this superior qualification that should determine the choice of the people, and their rulers, in all their appointments to public offices. But such characters are not forward, and obtrusive: they must be sought after in every vicinage. If ever the nation and its government acquire dignity; if they ever establish a just and honorable fame, at home and abroad, such characters must be held in due estimation, and invited into public service. In an infant republic, above all other political institutions, this discrimination is wise and necessary. Where the government cannot resist much lustre on its functions, it is the more essential that these should spread the splendour of virtue and talents on the offices they hold.
It is hardly necessary to remark, that I am not concluding for an aristocracy of wealth, or that I do not exclude it from due consideration. In this country, as well as most others, wealth is often attached to ignorance, to selfishness, to low and vulgar manners and principles—to souls of mud—to Jew-Brokers—and 2 per Cent men:—But still there are instances, where riches are possessed by men of virtuous and expansive minds; and when this is happily the case, it renders them the more capable of public usefulness; the more worthy of public confidence.
It is the man who, in private life, has been distinguished for probity, intelligence, and public spirit; the man who has never attached himself violently to either party, because he has discovered errors in both; that is the most capable of serving his country, at home and abroad. But before we can expect that the various departments of government will be filled with such characters, the people, their leaders, and their governors, must banish all narrow views and prejudices out of sight; such men will never consent to become the tools of a party; whenever they act, it will be as servants of the whole. Nor will they be willing to cast their lots with the artful and flagitious office-hunter, whose views are mercenary and whose conduct and character would embarrass and disgrace them. Such an association would be binding the living to the dead; by which it would be impossible to re-animate the one, or to preserve the other in virtuous health and vigour.
But I am sensible that this Utopian speculation "is as baseless as the fabric of a vision"—pleasing to contemplate, but will never be realized. The people will go on, as heretofore, to choose: as their leaders shall direct them; and those will be governed in forming their election tickets, not by the real merits of the several candidates, but by their supposed popularity with the multitude. The friends of government (as they are called) will recommend the well known federalist, who has taken pains to push himself forward to public notice, either because he is ambitious of office, or because he cannot live without it; and their opponents will move earth and hell, to carry the outrageous Democratic patriot, who has long cajoled the people, and now thinks it is high time to mount and ride them.
"Yet it is under the banners of such leaders, ideots as we are, that we foolishly enroll ourselves; fruit in the degrading livery of party, adopt their cant, their watchwords, and their fury; sacrifice our interest, our honor and happiness to men who, with public interest wholly out of the question, consider us only as cats-paws, to scratch their political antagonists, to light their battles, and to procure for them the leaves and the fishes of the Treasury."
