On the fubicct of Tripoltan affairs, general
Eaton prcierves marked and decorous filence.
He declares, however, that he had no powers
to treat with the Baihaw of Tripoli and he
contradcs the ridiculous and invidous tale,
which was cooked up BY one of the federal
prints OF Bottom; that Col. Lear had been
prompted to conclude raih and premature
treaty, through jealous apprehension left the
baihaw fhould appeal to the hyperion generoiity
OF gen. Eaton, and lef he ihould run away with
an the honours of the paci6cation. Col. Lear
rs laid TO have concluded the treaty, from a fear
lett the Baihaw fhou!d execute his threats of
putting to death the American capt;yes. IF
1ucn was really his inducenent, the conduit of
Col. Lear certainly needs no other ratification.
! ne lois of three hundred Americans is not
inrely to be put into competition with ranfom
OF 10000 dollars; and even the ri& and danger
or iuch cataitrophe ought not to have been
encountered for 70 fnall FUN. Had Col. Lear
waved the negotiation, until the gallant Eaton
had raniomed our prifoners with the f,yord, our
triumph would have been much more glorious :
out II would have been an indelible difgracc ND.
on the annals of our nation, had the lives of 10
many men been facrificed through mifguided
economy.
with refpeet to the ES-Bafl,aw Of Tripol,
Gen. Eaton has merely informed the editor,
that ne left him az Syracufe in Sicily, & that
ne had no intention of WHITING this country.
AS Gen. Eaton left Gibraltar about the goth
or September, 1t may be fuPpofed that he has
brought fome recent and perhaps important in
teIsence from the Mediterranean. The infor-
nation which he has given us ON this fube6t,
is IN faef not without its interef.- The NOT

In fact, we might forefee that the cnvious ha-

which the genius of the emperor Napoleon fills

forts of intrigue and corruption, TO divide the
dangers that menaced England, and make the

well be atoniihed that Auitria ihould have 70

WAR.-A long and Bloody War was on the
point Of commencing between FraGcc, sfiiGsd
.,erhaDs by Pruiiia and Bavaria, on one fide
and pruiTia and Auhria, backed by Great Sri
tain ana aided by Sweden, on tie other. This
event was placed beyond doubt.
The French army lately embodied near Bou-
loyne, and the French and Dutch troops en-
baked in Holland, had actually deharked. and
had marched towards the Rhine. A few divi-
Gons were left at Boulogne, but every battalion
lad left the Texcl. IN every part or France Al,
the erginery OF war was in operation. The
French funds mad experienced great fall.
Two Rpfian armies were, it was confidently
f,id, on the march for Gernlry and Auftrian
officers had actually been difpatched to conduct
them. The Rattan forces at Corfu were ready
for immediate action.
The accounts from Auffria are not explicit.

but on the next prefcrt It's with whole columns
Nf accounts of marching armies-new formed

ran troops to the very frontiers Of France and
Italy.
There are reports, that hofiities had com
nenced in Suahia, and that Venice had been
taken by the French. Neither Of thete do we
credit. Time had not been given the French to
reach Suabis, or Venice. We doubt not, how
tvs-, that tbefe ponefhons Of the Emperor OF
Germany, will experience the firlt cfic6ts Of the
new war.
New expeditions were fitting out in England &;
and the expectations Of invalion were no more.
No naval affair, of confequence, had taken
place aud the blockades of Brelt and Cadiz,
was continued. TheEoelfh had been cStreme-
