A letter fiom the head-quar
ters of the army of Italy, dated
Oftobcr 22, Hates, “ that the
French army, confiding of
180,000 efledlive men, without
including the Cilalpine legions,
are in lull march. This formi
dable army is divided into
three columns. One of them,
a very llrong cne, direfts its
inarch towards the Neapolitan
Hates,”
The Surveillant fiigate, the
only Hup of the Bred fquadron
not accounted for before, is ar
med at L’Oiient.
Accoiding to the overland
difpatches received from Mr.
Tooke, at Aleppo, by the lad
Hamburgh mail, it appears that
.general Buonaparte has eflablifh
ed a camp about four miles from
Cairo, where he is with his ar
my, General Berthier has been
lent on towards the confines of
Syria, for the piupofc of en
tienching himfclf in a favourable
pofition, to repel the pioje6lcd
attacks of the Porte and tlie
Mamelukes, who are adembling
a large force in that quarter,
November 22.
By letters from Cologne it ap
pears, that the infurgents in Bra
bant have begun to retaliate up
on the French by (hooting all
the republicans that fall into
their hands. A council of war
has been held at Aix-la-Chapelle
by the French generals, Ac, up
on this fubjetl ; from which fa 6l
it appears that the infurreftion
extends towards the Rhine, <
[ Accounts fiom the Hague, 01
the 6th, further fay, that the in
furreftion in Brabant not beins
quelled, byway of precaution
the guards at Amflcrdam hac
■ been doubled. 'Fhc pod how
ever was once more free.
Another article from Amder
; dam fays, the infurgents arc dil
in great force upon the canal o
1 Bruffels between that place anc
Antwrep. At Ihyffelt there
are 3000 of them divided into
companies, where they have ap
pointed a military commidion.
The French general Collaed is
marching againd them with
15,000 men. All the municipa
lities are declared permanent,
and the bells taken from the
deeplcs to prevent the founding
of an alarm.
November 27.
Lord Nelfon has now a pen
fion equal to either lord St. Vin
cent or lord Duncan- The two
latter have each 2000 L on the
Britifh and 10001, on the Irifh
edablifhmcnt. Lord Nelfon had
a pendon of 1 oooh per annum,
on account of the lofs of his arm,
previous to the late grant of
20001. which makes his income
from the country amount in the
whole to 30001. a year. Should
he therefore be alfo put on the
Irifh edabliftimenf, his penfion
will exceed that of either lord
St. Vincent or lord Duncan by
10001. per annum.

all his engagements with the
Mamelukes, and has driven the

muel Blodget, efq. and affociates, <
with the exclufive right and pri- 1
vilege of cutting a canal by
Amolkeig falls, on Merrimack
river, and locking the fame/' '
Hy this generous a£l, the legis

much honor ; it is liberal to the
proprietors, but ten limes more

oak and all kinds of lumber.—
This canal is nearly finilhed—
through which, an eafy and
cheap conveyance may be had

NEW-YORK, Feb. 1.
ExtraH 0/ a letter from a gentleman
of refpeclahility in Richmond , to
his Jriend in Alexandria , dated
January 20, 1799.
“ Every day gives more con
vincing proofs of the luccefs of
Marfhall's ele&ion ; and it is
faid that Mr. Henry will come
into the legiflature, but I much
doubt it.
« The legiflature arc about
parting an appeal to the people,!
in the (hape of an addrefs, i
fraught with the moll direful
fentiments to the United States.!
Times are alarming—civil dif- \
fention, if not adual civil war,!
may beexpcdled. Nobody can
miflake the meaning of Taylor
of Caiolina. He is the prime
mover, and is lurrounded by
thole who move pietty much as
he direds. One* week more,
and all their projeds will be out.
A bill is oidered to be brought
into the houfe, arraying the
Hate's judges againfl thofe of the
United States, in cafes that may
occur under the avowed objed
of which is to let at liberty any
perfon who (hall be profecuted
under that ad.
c ‘ Taylor's refolutions, which
you have fecn—Nicholas's fub
llituted in place of thofe propof
ed by George K. Taylor—the
appeal, or addrefs to the people,
and the bill ordered to be
brought in, will fill up the mea
hire of hoflility on the part of
this Hate againfl the United
States, The government of the
United States mufl proted itfelf,
or yield to the force of Virginia.
Such open hoflility cannot and
mull not be palfed over in fxlence.
Another project is before the
houfe, for arming enmafje all the
militia of the commonwealth. 1
This is alfo the fcheme of Tay
lor and his party —and who can
doubt the objed ? It is not to
prepare to defend the nation
againh a foreign foe, for this party
boldly allert, that there is no fuch
danger to be apprehended.
What then is this objed ? The
refolutions mentioned, a£ls con
templated, and the manifello to
the people, are the bell elucida
tions."
[Can any one read the above
extrad and not fhudder at the
confequcncc ? Is Mr, Taylor
himfclf aware of them ? g ut
whatever may be thought of it
by other parts of Virginia, it \ s
truftcd that the citizens of the
Northern Neck, however dife.
greeable the alternative, will noc
hefitate about adhering to the
Union, and relinquifhingall con
neftion with thole who unfortu,
nately (hall fubmit to meafurcs
fo hoflile to its tranquility.]
