A PROPOSAL BY William Young Birch, AND Abraham Small, Of the City of Philadelphia, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THAT INVALUABLE WORK, DR. RUSSELL'S HISTORY OF Modern Europe. With an account of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Rise of Modern Kingdoms, &c. &c.
THE great excellence which this excellent book has received, is a sure proof of its merits—The vast sale which it has had for several years, is a fair criterion by which the public opinion of its worth can be known. During the life of the learned author, it went through the annual sale of a very large impression—every succeeding edition received some improvement the result of his deep researches and great judgment—he lived to make it as perfect as in the nature of things it could be—he is dead! Whilst the English language is read, the History of Modern Europe will remain a monument to his fame! It is as entertaining as instructive; as interesting as profound. The plan of the work is copious, but by a happy arrangement, the reader is at once presented with the cotemporary history of every part of Europe. The book now offered to the public is from the last and most correct copy, to which this shall be no way inferior.
IT CONTAINS An history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire. The rise of modern kingdoms, generally. A particular history of the French monarchy. Do. Spain from the dominion of the Visigoths. Italy, with the rise and progress of the Temporal Power of the Popes. Britain, from its relinquishment by the Romans. Ireland. The German empire, from Charlemagne. The empire of Constantinople to its overthrow. Empire of the Arabs. Rise and progress of the Turks and fall of the Greek empire. History of Portugal; View of the progress of Navigation; Conquests in the East and West Indies; Discovery of America, &c. History of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Poland and Prussia; North-America, as connected with European history. A very comprehensive and highly useful chronology.
CONDITIONS. I. The whole shall be comprised in five large octavo volumes, printed in the best manner, on a superfine paper. II. It is intended to deliver one volume every two months, at the price of Two Dollars per volume in boards, payable on delivery. III. As it may be inconvenient to deliver them to distant subscribers in single volumes, those who wish it, may let them remain with the publishers until the whole are published. The work is at present and will be printed on a beautiful new type cast for the purpose. The encouragers of this undertaking may rest assured, that nothing now foreseen shall delay its regular procedure; so that in one year at farthest the citizens of the United States shall be presented with an American Edition of Doctor Russell's History of Modern Europe, equal to the English copy, and at a lower price.

G. SIMPSON, Cashr. 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 five years of age, tall and well shaped, of a black complexion. She has bad teeth, most of her under jaw are much discoloured and projected a good deal. She has a full head of wooly hair—a very erect 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 cloaths, and gowns of white mullin, 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 flaring eyes, a flat nose, an oval face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artil and impudent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good language, and has been taught to read. She has the appearance of ring worms 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 wooly. 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 illly made, with scarce any calf. He has had teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward—he has a full head of wooly hair, which he plies 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 Amelia who he called his wife.
Amelia is a very complete, well instructed ladies maid, much below the common stature and of a small make—her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or melizée, 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 pot in her infancy—under her eye 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 mark of a Seton. Dick has 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 enlarge her family, and is about 22 years of age—she can dress hair, clear starch, has a taste for millinery and mantua-making; and as she is very ingenious, can turn her hand to any thing and may probably offer herself to some milliner or mantua maker as a work-woman. As Amelia 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 I 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 requires 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 by the ship Pactor, from London.
BASLE, May 21. Prisoners of war continue to pass by in great numbers, and without interruption. The number of prisoners already taken, since the opening of the campaign, is estimated at 17,000. It is moreover confidently asserted, that their exits an embryo of rebellion in the Austrian army, and that it daily swells into magnitude. Two Hungarian regiments, have lately declared that they would no longer take a part in the field of battle, because, as they observe, after inauspicious beginnings, the troops are unable to reassure and re-establish themselves. It also appears that there is some disagreement among the generals.
Feldkirch, of which the French are now in possession, is the key of Grumbunden, of the Tyrol, and of the Rhenthal; during the last campaign it firmly resisted the reiterated attack of Melfen. The French have advanced towards Coire; immense magazines were taken at Feldkirch; at Bregenz, a large quantity of provisions of every kind fell into the hands of the French. After the taking of Bregenz, the Austrians retired to Langenzargen with some pieces of artillery; but the next day the French attacked this important post, and carried it. Those who came to reconnoitre the country laid down their arms and retired. The same took place in the Vorarlberg.
May 26. General Macey has officially announced to the Helvetic government, that a body of 25,000 men, which have arrived in Switzerland by the route of Schaffhausen and Basle, are to pass by the St. Gothard to march towards Bellinzona, and Lugano in the Milanese; that Feldkirch was in the hands of the French, and that the greater part of the Grisons had been evacuated by the Austrians. All the banks of the Lake of Constance are in the hands of the French; the trade and the navigation are entirely free. The ex-districts, La Harpe and Secretan, had an audience of the chief consul at Lausanne, and made important propositions to him respecting the Helvetic government.
AUGSBURG, May 20. The corps of prince Reuss is still at Rends; his patrols are pushed on as far as Immendingen. The fortress of Kufstein is supplied with provisions. General Jellachich and General Auffenberg have stationed 5000 men to guard the frontiers of the Tyrol, towards the Vorarlberg. Gen. Hiller has his headquarters at Coire; he is entrusted with the defence of the Grisons; he is to act in concert with the corps of Gen. Dedovich in Italy.
The citizens of Ulm have been directed to take every thing that is combustible from the roofs of their houses, and there is no doubt that the Austrians expect that city to be immediately bombarded. On the 11th the French patrols were pushed on as far as Mindelheim. In the evening, after a skirmish at Krumbach, some of the French were made prisoners. A corps under the command of Gen. Vandamme, was yesterday in the environs of Mindel, and is supposed to be marching against Biberach. A dreadful cannonade has been heard this day in the direction of Ulm. The Austrians have strongly entrenched Geislingen and the road to Ulm.
Almost all the princes, nobility and prelates of Suabia have fled; part of them have sought refuge in Germany, and part of them in France. Immense numbers are daily flying by Hidenheim to Anspach, from Ulm, Biberach and Memmingen.
Letters from Ingolstadt announce that a considerable supply of ammunition, provisions and military stores, had reached that place.
FRANKFORT, May 22. It seems to be perfectly well ascertained that there exists some seed of rebellion in the Austrian army. Two Hungarian regiments whom Gen. Kray had charged with some very dangerous service, have refused to obey, alleging the impossibility. Hungary was under of furnishing a sufficient number of recruits to replace them in case they should prove unsuccessful. They likewise observed that they were ready to serve the Emperor with their lives and fortunes in all wars against the Porte, which nearly interest their country; but that the war which they were now carrying on was wholly unconnected with these interests. Gen. Kray seeing he was unable to gain over their resistance, resolved upon having recourse to force, and ordered them to be surrounded. The Hungarians then formed themselves into a square and declared they would perish sooner than yield. Gen. Kray thought it more advisable to withdraw his order than to persist in it; but the next day he incorporated these regiments with other corps. A similar scene lately took place at Ulm; the Austrian troops expressed the greatest repugnance to the further continuance of the war.
STRASBURGH, May 23. Extract of a letter from the French Headquarters of Babenhause, May 17. "It appeared that the enemy did not mean to guard Ulm, but merely to throw a garrison into that fortress. They have changed their plan. The wing of the army of the Rhine which was to have marched to Augsburg, remains in the environs. It will soon come to an engagement, in which the right wing will probably have no share. They have begun to levy contributions, which have served to discharge part of the pay of the army. The best means have been taken to prevent this money from
being embezzled, and appropriated to private uses." May 25. According to the last advice from the army of the Rhine, of the 19th of May, the headquarters of Moreau were at Delsingen, the place which he occupied after the famous retreat which has immortalized that general. The Austrians desert in such numbers, that a victory more would entirely dissolve their army. Although it is said the Elector of Bavaria is sending all his troops against the French, it is thought, however, that he under hands his interest too well to act so. A letter from the headquarters of the army of the Rhine announces, that Sztarray, after having attacked with a three-fold superior force, gen. Suzanne who blockaded Ulm on the left, has been repulsed with very great loss. The French are still encamped round Ulm. It is not known that there will be an engagement there.
STUTGARD, May 21. We are informed that the French army is extending itself more and more upon the left in front of Ulm. The division of Legrand, who remained on the 16th, advanced anew on the 17th, bending its course by the road which leads from Giffelingen to Ulm. The plan of General Moreau appears to be to turn Ulm on this side, and particularly the Fruenberg. His headquarters were in the night of the 17th and 18th at Schelklingen.
Since the 12th several more French detachments have passed to Tuttlingen. On the 16th arrived there sixty carriages laden with ammunition from Kehl, and which were escorted by three thousand men. The ammunition will be sent to Molsheim and Riedlingen, from thence to be forwarded to the Danube. The troops will take the route of Engen and Schaffhausen, on their road for Zurich, from whence they will probably pass into Italy.
The division of general Lorge, belonging to the army of Moreau, has also the same destination. It was expected on the 19th at Schaffhausen. We hear from the latter place, of the date of the 15th, that the French troops which ascended the eastern banks of the Lake of Constance, arrived on the 12th at Lindau. They joined near Helmenkirch those which were in the Rhenthal. After having possessed themselves at Bregenz of the vessels which composed the fleet of Colonel Williams, they directed their course towards Allgau.
The two commandants of Hohenweil, General Dilsinger, and Lieutenant General Wolf, arrived here some days ago. An aid-camp has signified to them that they were arrested, and two grenadiers have been stationed at their gate; their swords have been taken from them. Wolf has said, in his justification, that when Hohenweil was surrendered, it was besieged by 16,000 French troops, who were on the point of commencing the assault; that farther he had stipulated that at the peace this fortress shall be given up to Württemberg; and all that the riches found in it shall be given up to its owners.
May 26. A letter received here yesterday from headquarters, brings intelligence of a very warm action which has taken place near Ulm. General Sztarray attacked general St. Suzanne, whose corps invested the fortress of Ulm. His troops though very superior in number, were repulsed with considerable loss. We expect the details of this engagement to-morrow.
Another letter. As soon as Moreau heard of the check experienced on the 26th by general Legrand, in the valley de la Blaw, he detached numerous reinforcements to his left wing. On the 17th that wing, commanded by St. Suzanne, advanced to gain possession of Geislingen, where Sztarray had drawn a considerable force. From the 20th to the 21st there was a bloody combat, at the end of which St. Suzanne obliged Sztarray to retire under the walls of Ulm. St. Suzanne, has commenced the blockade of Ulm, on the left bank of the Danube. An Austrian detachment has repaired to Stuttgart, from whence it proceeds against Hohenweil. Moreau approaches Ulm on the right bank of the Danube. We expect the news of his having given battle to Kray.
HAGUE, May 24. To-morrow all the primary assemblies are to meet, to proceed to the new election of the legislative body. It is looked upon as very probable that the director, who is to succeed citizens Van Spaan, Van Steenwyk, Van de Kestele, and Leibheer.
PARIS, May 30. An American frigate placed by the government of the United States at the disposal of their ministers plenipotentiary, has entered the road of Havre. A French pilot was sent on board to conduct her into the harbour; but as late as the 24th she remained in her former anchorage.
Yesterday peace was the order of the day, and nothing was heard but wishes of peace. Undoubtedly a peace cannot arrive too soon - but in the present posture of affairs, it might be supposed that the Austrians would be the first to talk of it. Office of the Minister of War. The chief of the general staff of the army of Italy writes to the minister of war from Nice, under date 10th May. "I have the honor to inform you of the agreeable intelligence which I have this morning received from general Massena. "In the night of the 3rd and 4th, the general made a sortie on Volttri, completely
defeated the enemy, and took from them 1800 prisoners; in that of the 4th and 5th 3000, which added to the 7000 that he had before taken, gives a total of 11,800 prisoners. His resource in provisions are secured. He is besides perfectly seconded by the inhabitants of Genoa, who are in the best disposition toward him. The minister at war has been informed from other quarters, that the city of Genoa was vacated for thirty days on the 17th May, and that different supplies continued to reach him. A copy, certified to be conformable. (Signed) CARNOT."
It is evident on the one hand, that the army of reserve pursues its march with success, and on the other, that Genoa will hold out longer than is necessary to re-establish the fortune of our arms in Italy while Moreau keeps in check and defeats the Imperial forces in Germany; we receive intelligence that he is marching against Augsburg, leaving Ulm blockaded.
ARMY OF EGYPT. General Delfau, in a letter addressed to the minister at war, dated the Lazaretto off Toulon, 15 Floreal, May 5, gives the following details:
"He set out from Egypt on the 12th Ventose last (March 3) after having negotiated with the Grand Vizier, by order of General Kleber, for the evacuation of Egypt by the French army. He was accompanied by General Davoust, and several officers of the staff and commissaries at war. On the 10th Germinal they were stopped by the Dorothea English frigate, and conducted to Lord Keith at Leghorn, where they performed quarantine. Admiral Keith authorized by his government, having given orders for their being suffered to sail, they embarked on the 10th, and entered Toulon on the 13th inst. (May 3.)"
"The commissary Michaux, in a letter of the same day, announces that he has apprized the commissioner of the marine at Toulon of the speedy arrival of 900 wounded men, under the care of general Fougieres. Several letters written from Cairo to the minister, by the commissioner Dauré, have been transmitted to their destination by the commissioner Michaux."
"One dated from Cairo, 25 Pluviose, (Jan. 15) says, that the army of the East consists of 18,000 infantry, 2000 cavalry, 3000 artillery, and 1000 miners; to this number must be added 1000 officers of the staff and other individuals attached to the army. The commissioner thinks, that on account of the small number of vessels at his disposal, there will not be above 4 or 500 horses embarked."
"Another letter from Cairo of the same date, says, that the plague had manifested itself in the course of the year, in the hospitals at Alexandria, Rosetta and Damietta, but that it had carried off only about 50."
ARMY OF THE RHINE. Bern, May 12.
In a letter from general Lecourbe to general Macey, the former states that in the battle of Stockach, there were 15,000 killed on both sides, and that 8,000 Austrians were taken prisoners. The town of Stockach, magazines, and a considerable artillery are in our power. The Austrian army is in full retreat to Ulm, to which we are advancing to give them a last battle. [Signed] LECOURBE.
LONDON, June 1.
Report says, that all the English in Russia are held as hostages for the return of the Imperial troops from the islands of Guernsey and Jersey. A ferment prevails among the inhabitants of the Duchy of Württemberg. One half of that country is occupied by the French, at the departure of the left post, however, they had not arrived at Stuttgart.
The City of Schaffhausen was obliged to pay to the French a contribution of 700,000 livres. From the free Imperial city of Überlingen, they exacted a contribution of 50,000 florins. At Hohenweil, the French found 33 brass guns, 3 mortars, 4000 muskets, 20,000 pounds of powder, a considerable quantity of flints, bomb shells, balls, grenades, 2000 casks of flour and many other stores. From the rich Abbeys in Germany, the highest contributions are exacted by the French. The free Imperial city of Memmingen was obliged to pay to the French a contribution of 90,000 florins.
An article from Constantinople, dated March 30, says, the Grand Admiral of the Porte will sail about the middle of April, with 14 ships of war and 20,000 men for Egypt and Syria. As soon as tranquility and order shall be restored in Egypt, the Grand Vizier will proceed against the pacha of Acre, who wishes to render himself independent of the Porte. A great reward is set upon his head. Prince Italowski, Court suworow Rimnitskoi, has been confirmed in his character of Charaberkai, at the Court of Petersburg, which he held previous to his leaving Russia with the army.
The following letter was delivered on Monday at St. James's Palace, by a poor man, who said he travelled a number of miles for the purpose of serving His Sovereign, and to inform him of a great Secret. London, May 24, 1800.
Sir, May it please your highness to forgive my freedom, I am come to disclose to your highness a great secret, which I believe is to be fulfilled in a short time, which if not suddenly prevented, I am afraid that our laws and religion and all will be turned to ruin, which I pray GOD to preserve them, and crown our King with peace at home and victory abroad. I hope your highness will not refuse me your presence, for I am come above one hundred and sixty miles on purpose to disclose to you; I hope you will
excuse my bad writing, for it is the first I ever wrote.
JOSEPH PURSSLOVE.
I am now waiting at your gate to hear an answer from you, and so no more at present from your loyal subject. (Supercribed) "King George at his Royal Palace, London. With speed."
The Ratisbon Mercury announces, that general Kray is drawing his forces towards the Tyrol, to succor Italy.

June 4.
The Hamburg mail due this morning, arrived just as this paper was about to be put to press. It brings accounts of the advantages obtained by the Austrians over the republicans in Italy, which the London Gazette Extraordinary of Sunday last stated.
A letter from Roveredo, states, that the capitulation with Massena was already so far advanced, that the Imperialists were expected to enter Genoa on the 15th ult.
From Ulm we learn, that the Imperial army in that quarter was informed, in general orders, of the Austrians having entered Nice on the 11th, and that Genoa had begun to capitulate on the 13th.
From Stuttgart, under date of the 23rd, and from Gunzburg, under that of the 21st, we learn that the French, after unsuccessful fighting, had entirely withdrawn from the Blauthal. They had retreated a considerable way towards Biberach and Memmingen; and the Austrians were again at Ehingen.
THE HAMBURG MAIL.
ALEXANDRIA, May 10.
Ten in the evening.
On the 7th instant, a decisive battle was fought between Ceva and St. Lorenzo, in which the French were totally defeated, with the loss of 19 pieces of cannon, and 1200 prisoners among them were 157 officers and the General of division Gravel. On the 8th the Imperial headquarters were at Porto Maurizio.
Soon after this engagement, the Colonel di Tenda was also taken by the Imperialists, who took four pieces of cannon, and made 20 prisoners.
On the 9th the Imperial headquarters were at St. Stefano. After these successes, the Imperial army took possession of the whole principality of Oneglia, and advanced against Nice.
General Elsnitz has also defeated the enemy, and the French general Suchet has retreated behind the entrenchments of Nice, with the whole of his army.
The blockade of Genoa becomes closer every day. It is said, that night and day, Massena holds two ships in readiness to effect his escape, but the English suffer no vessel to pass, and frequently make prizes.
It is said that the 13th half brigade of Gufalene troops at Nice had been disarmed for having made an attempt to march to the territory on the coast of Genoa.
General Tukhoffovich has already entered Switzerland by way of Mount St. Gothard; his headquarters are at Airolo, on the frontiers of the Canton of Uri, his advanced posts penetrating as far as Urseren. On the frontiers of Dauphine we are only 12 miles from Briançon.
The necessary measures have been taken for the siege of the citadel of Savona. The French commandant informed the magistrates of the city, that, if it was not evacuated by the Austrians in 24 hours, he had orders to set it on fire. In consequence of this, general St. Julien apprised him, that the infamy of that horrid action would entirely fall on him, and that, as the citadel would be obliged speedily to surrender, he and his garrison would be made responsible for every calamity that he should bring on the city of Savona.
Treviso, May 11.
The day before yesterday 200 cavalry and 600 grenadiers, from the corps of Conde, arrived here with a train of artillery. Today they were preparing to march to Padua, when suddenly counter-orders were received, and they directed their march to Cornegliano.
Letters from Bologna state, that the Imperial regiment Stralsdorf is expected in that city, from Ancona, on its way to Leghorn.
Frontiers of Italy, May 18.
A considerable body of Austrians is stationed near Asola, to observe the movements of the French in Savoy and the Valais. General Tukhoffovich, it is said, has penetrated into Switzerland by way of Mount St. Gothard. On the approach of the Austrians, the French suddenly removed their magazines and hospitals.
The city of Leghorn has voluntarily sent a large supply of provisions to the corps of the Imperial army blockading Genoa.
Suabia, May 23.
The expedition which the Imperialists have undertaken from Italy, against the south of Switzerland, to the canton of Uri, obliges the French to send reinforcements thither from Suabia, to prevent the Imperialists from occupying Switzerland in their rear. From the Grison country, the Austrian troops also penetrate farther into Switzerland.
Anibes, May 15.
The Austrians have evacuated Nice. They entered the city on the 6th, at three in the afternoon. We are again upon the Var, the ancient boundary of France. Yesterday morning we were again attacked by four battalions of grenadiers, three of Piedmontese, two regiments of Hungarian hu-
sars, and a large body of irregular cavalry. The rain fell in torrents and the wind drove it in our faces. Rochambeau commanded us, and the defence of the bridge was entrusted to him. The enemy was completely repulsed; they left a great many in killed, and left 150 prisoners in our hands, the most of whom are men of rank. In the evening we learnt that General Melas had arrived at Nice the day before, with from ten to twelve thousand men. We expected a fresh attack this morning, and as our outposts touched those of the enemy, we passed the night under arms. To our utter astonishment we saw the Austrian columns file off through the mountains on the road to Coni. This precipitate retreat can only be occasioned by the motions of the army of reserve. We have no intelligence from Massena, who seems to be still blocked up in Genoa.
ULM, May 21.
Our apprehensions of a bombardment of this city by the French, have vanished. The French begin to withdraw from their positions in our neighbourhood, and are followed by the Imperialists.
The division of Lorge and other troops have been detached from Moreau's army to reinforce the army of reserve under general Berthier.
The Imperial army in Suabia now amounts to 100,000 men, is particularly strong in cavalry, and has a considerable number of fresh troops.
Evening. This morning the army has been officially informed, in general orders, that on the 11th instant our troops had entered Nice, and that on the 13th Genoa had begun to capitulate.
This day the centre of our army was engaged with the enemy, the advantage being now on one side then on the other. Towards evening, the roaring of cannon appeared more distant, which is considered as a favorable sign.
STUTGARD, May 23.
On the 21st the French had entirely withdrawn from the Blauthal, and not any of them were seen at Braunbeuren on that day.
The position of the Imperial army becomes every day more advantageous, general Kray's manoeuvres having induced the French to withdraw from the environs of Ulm. The corps of prince Hohenlohe approaches from Kempten, and menaces their flank.
It appears that the left wing of the French hitherto on the left banks of the Danube, will form itself on the right banks of that river.
GUNZBURG, May 21.
Yesterday morning the French made another attack on the position of the Austrians, with a violent cannonade, towards Söflingen. After several fruitless attempts to penetrate through the Blauthal, the enemy were obliged to retreat about noon, leaving behind them many killed and wounded, and nearly 160 prisoners. The Austrians are again at Ehingen.
From another correspondent.
The French begin to see the impossibility of gaining any advantage over the Imperial army near Ulm; and to-day they have actually retreated a considerable way towards Biberach and Memmingen. Gen. Kray's headquarters, it is thought, will be removed from Ulm to Ehingen, in a few days. The passage between this place and Ulm is entirely open and perfectly secure.
NUREMBERG, May 24.
This moment an express arrived with very important intelligence, that Genoa had had capitulated, and that Nice had been taken by storm. Respecting the capitulation of Genoa we must wait further official accounts.
FRANKFORT, May 24.
Letters from Ulm, of the 21st, just received here, state, that the Imperial army is rapidly advancing, closely following the French on their retreat. Several engagements were fought on the 19th and 20th, in the environs of Blauenhausen, which terminated in favour of the Austrians.
TYROL, May 18.
The headquarters of general prince Reuss have again advanced from Reutty to Fuesen, since there is no longer any necessity for being closer to the frontiers of Tyrol. All the passes are strongly guarded by the militia, and the whole of the armed peasants have orders to hold themselves in readiness.
According to the last accounts, prince Reuss will soon commence offensive operations, conjointly with the troops near Feldkirch and Chur.
BERN, May 18.
The marching of French troops through the Vallais still continues. Operations will be carried on in that country and through Savoy, against Mount Cenis, at the same time. General Macey is now with the active army, and Monchoisy commands in his room in the interior of Switzerland.
Yesterday the 17th and 30th half brigades of light troops passed through Lucerne, the Imperialists having advanced near Mount St. Gothard. From Holland 4000 men are shortly expected in Switzerland.
The passes of the Grison country, the Luciensteig and Chur, are yet occupied by the Imperialists, where they are in great force.
If Moreau had not obtained possession of so many magazines in Suabia, the French army in Italy would not have been able to subsist.
It is now known, that the general object of Carnot's journey to general Moreau's headquarters has been to induce him to send 10,000 men to the army of general Berthier.

From the New York Gazette.
INTERESTING ARTICLES The Government of Algiers is well affected towards the United States, but the Tunisians have been very impatient for the arrival of the stipulated military stores. Mr. Eaton, our Consul there, has however, prevailed upon them to wait some time longer, and a desire which the Bey's Minister has expressed of obtaining American bottoms, to convey grain to Spain, has been an additional motive to this measure.
Though all the States of Barbary (except Morocco) are at war with France, yet the French Merchants resident in Tunis, have not been made slaves of as in Algiers, but are permitted to reside in their factory in full possession of their property. They are not, however, permitted to go out of the factory.
In September 1798, the Tunisians, with a squadron of 4 cruisers, made a descent upon the little island of St. Peters, in the vicinity of Sardinia, and landing in the night, carried off 120 men and 700 women and children, who were conveyed to Tunis, & consigned to slavery. Don Antonio Porcile, who was one of the prisoners, was dispatched by the Bey to Sardinia, to endeavor to procure the ransom. He returned in May 1800, with his father, the Count Antioch, they being appointed by the King of Sardinia joint ambassadors to negotiate for this purpose. They brought with them letters from the Sardinian Secretary of State, to the Consuls of the different European powers, requesting their friendly interference with the Bey. By their interference a treaty was concluded, in which the price of ransom was fixed at 40,000 dollars to the Bey, and 70,000 to the Sappatappa, his Minister; and for the payment of this it was stipulated, that the plate of the Churches should be pledged. When this treaty was presented to the King of Sardinia, he refused to ratify it, but promised to send to Leghorn to negotiate a loan of the money. In the mean while, the venerable Count Porcile, who, at the age of 84 years thus saw himself forced to undertake his fifth embassy to Barbary, overcame with distress and anxiety for the ominous appearance of this business, on the event of which depended the liberty of two of his sons and four of his grand daughters, sink under the burthen and expired.
In November 1799, the Sappatappa, by order of the Bey, wrote to the different Consuls who had witnessed the treaty, that unless the money was paid by the 10th of January ensuing, the prisoners would all be sold at public auction for slaves. The issue of this business has not since been heard of.
Encouraged by their first expedition, the Tunisians dispatched another squadron of seven sail, commanded by the chief of the former, Mohammed Rais, a noted pirate, to the islands of Maddalena, on N. E. coast of Sardinia. Seven hundred of them landed but were so warmly received by the natives, that not one returned on board.
In September last, Sidi Hassan-Zeri, grand son of Ali Bey, who was deposed by the Algerines in 1745, and lineal heir to the throne of Tunis, was put to death for riotous behaviour in the palace, by order of Hamuda Basha, the present Bey.
The brig Hassan Basha, which was taken from the Algerines by the French fleet, and by them delivered to the Spaniards, was taken by the Portuguese, on her voyage from Cadiz to Algiers.—She now lies at Lisbon, but will be again restored to Spain.
Extract of a letter from London dated April 19.
"I think it right to apprise you, that, although your insurance to Spain is made on the broadest principle, so as to embrace every possible risk, yet there is one risk which can never be legally covered, in this country, which is the risk of condemnation by a British court of admiralty; because such condemnation cannot take place but on the ground of its being enemy's property, and enemy's property cannot by law be insured, and cannot consequently be recovered in this country; or on some other principle equally destructive of the usual recourse upon underwriters. In short, to trade with his majesty's enemies, however inviting the allurements to it may be, must ever be considered as attended with dangers, that it is fearely possible to guard against."
CHATTERTON.
It is recorded of the infancy of Chatterton by his mother, that, upon being asked what toy would afford him most pleasure, he replied with an earnestness, that bespoke the emotion of his mind, "A trumpet to blow aloud!" Upon this circumstance the following verses are founded.
Avise to every childish toy, Why seize the Trumpet, darling boy, And blow in strains so loud and clear, As all the admiring world might hear; While the charmed echo should rebound And give to future times the sound! Ah! what could prompt thy will to claim In Infancy the Trump of Fame— By what ambitious phrensy led— That trumpet sounds but for the dead! Nor know'st thou then, in hope elate, What future evils should await, That pride should teach repulse to feel, And avarice grudge the feasting meal, Nor yet, to quench thy ardent soul, Appear'd the horrors of the bowl! Oh! born in infancy to plan A work beyond the powers of man: The native of some other sphere, Thy spirit just had lighted here; By fame allur'd but doom'd to find The ingratitude of base mankind Indignant left its frame behind The trump of Fame shall now too late Announce thy genius and thy fate And found the mingl'd blasts of shame With the loud honours of thy name.
SINGULAR MODE Of reforming a Profligate Servant.
During the year 1788, there appeared in one of the Irish journals, an advertisement from a servant, who wanted a valet's place, stating that he was without a character, and had many faults, but hoped to mend. A confession so frank, and indeed so uncommon in that class of people, caught the eye of a gentleman in the environs of Dublin, well known for his eccentric humour, and generous hospitality.
He sent for the man, and on his entering the room, thus addressed him: "You graceless dog, that seem bent on starving, pray where and with whom did you live last?" "With squire ——, of St. Stephen's-green," replied the valet, "and an ill-natured unreasonable man he was, an't please your Honour, though it is true I gave him some small cause; would you believe it, sir, for no other reason in the world, than because I kept genteel hours, killed the wenches, loved willy, and because he missed a pair of silver-mounted pistols, and another thing or two, he sent me packing and stopped my wages."
You are the lad for my money "said the gentleman," you have owned your faults, which I never was able before to prevail on a servant to do; I now know your failing; but remember, that if I ever catch you at any of your light-fingered tricks, you shall certainly die in your shoes. Be with me to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock, you idle dog; in the meantime, take these ten guineas, and pay your old master for his pistols."
The graceless rogue entered on his place the next day, and faithfully served for the rest of his life, his new master, who left him, at his decease, an handsome annuity. He embarked in trade, was successful, and in a short time, became a wealthy and respectable merchant of Dublin.
ANECDOE.
An Englishman of war falling in with a Frenchman on a cruise, all hands prepared to engage; one more pious than his comrades, just when the English were about to pour a broadside, dropped on his knees, and with hands lifted towards Heaven, exclaimed, for what are we going to receive the Lord makes thankful!
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK July 22.
By several passengers in the late ships from Ireland, we are informed, that many of the most vicious and bloody-minded of the United Irishmen were deterred from coming to this country merely by the report of the scrutinizing character of our Executive, and of the severity of the Alien and Sedition Law—and while these were the cause of preventing the vicious from emigrating to America, it has, of course, occasioned numbers of honest and industrious emigrants to visit our friendly shores.
A barrack with 30 loads of hay, belonging to Mr. Van Brunt, on Long Island, opposite this city, was destroyed by lightning during the severe storm on Sunday evening last. From the repeated and heavy peals of thunder, we expected to hear of more such accidents. We have however been agreeably disappointed, most salutary change in the atmosphere has taken place; and from the refreshing showers, we have reason to hope for a further continuance of health to our city.

By recent letters from Halifax, it appears that Judge Brenton, both in his novel construction of the laws and in the improper evidence which he has countenanced in court, has generally disgraced the best informed among the disinterested part of the community at Halifax. This has given rise to a belief that he will be speedily removed, though it is feared he may first make his fortune.—A la Francaise.
ALBANY, July 18.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lancaster. (Massachusetts) to the Editor of this paper, dated the 12th inst.
"We have a more circumstantial account of Captain Tryon's engagement than is contained in your paper. A man belonging to this town came home from Farmington, Connecticut, (where Capt. Tryon's family live) the night before last—he says, the Captain had written to his family that he had had an engagement with and taken a French ship of 32 guns, 290 men—that her commander had been taken twice before by Tryon, and had procured and extra manned his ship on purpose to retaliate on him—that the Frenchman had 90 men killed, and that Tryon lost 20 out of 70, among whom was his son, a midshipman; that the French ship was entirely new, and said to be one of the best they had at Gaudaloupe; that Capt. Tryon not only fought the Frenchman with fire, but the contrary element, water, and that hot, boiling hot, which he discharged from a fire engine in the faces of the fanatics whenever they attempted to board him."
