By Yesterday’s Northern Mail. BOSTON, O&ober 29. From Cape Francois. Captain Harvey, who arrived yesterday from the Cape, informs us, thatTouflaint’s troops continue victorious over Rigaud’s ; that they had arrived before Jeremie and commenced the siege ; that Rigaud had loft an arm (not his life) in consequence of a wound received in a late action ; and that the Americans were treated in the moil refpeftful manner. The day before captain H. failed, a ves sel arrived which had fallen in with the United States frigate Boston. The captain stated, (lie had captured two French priva teers from Porto Rico. One a brig of 18 guns, the other a schooner of 12. And had recaptured a fliip from Bombay for Baltimore. PHILADELPHIA, O&ober 31. Captain Truxton has resumed his com mand in the navy, and is about to proceed again to sea in the Constellation. The circumstances attendant on the re turn of Captain Truxton to his command in the navy, havingbeen varioully report ed, we are desired to Rate, that it is on the following footing, that Captain Truxton returns into service: In a letter to the Pre sident, he offered to wave the question of tank, arraio leave that point between cap tain Talbot and himfelf as it flood; in con sequence, the President declines accepting his resignation, and he resumes his former command. The President of the United States is ex pected in town the beginning of next week. Preparations are making for his reception. The Secretary of the Treasury arrived in town a few days ago. The officers of the Treasury Depart ment have been removed to town. November 5. Exlrafl of a letter from Madrid, dated September 6. I am informed that an extraordinary courier from Italy had brought the news, that Genoa, having been evacuated by the French, after the battle in which Joubert was killed, is in pofTeffion of the allied ar my. Other details of that battle are come to hand, direftly from Genoa, byway of Barcelona, and give us to understand, that the action was long and obstinate ; that Perignon (formerly ambafTador here) in the beginning gained a very considerable having taken nearly 2000 prif °ners, but in the end was wounded and bken prisoner ; that the bayonet decided the affair ; that general Melas was killed ; that the remains of the French were at tsmpting to retreat towards Nice, but that a corps of the allied army had been detach-, with a design to intercept their retreat. BALTIMORE, November 7. fy the politensfs of the owner of the George 'Jijhington, and of capt. Stafford, of the. Three Brothers, the Editors of the Federal Gazette have been favored with London prints to the q/h, and Hamburg Gazettes to the litk September , inclusive; from which they have copied the following article into this day's Gazette. Captain Stafford left Hamburg the 15th “ptember, and it does not appear from tne P a pers in pofTeffion of the editors, the verbal intelligence they could col e|ft* that Amsterdam had surrendered any time previous to that date; nor that a ay engagement of moment had taken P ace in Holland, Italy or Switzerland, ]lr >ce the last advices from those quar ters. From the MERCUR ¥ of EUROPE. LOWER-ELBE, Sept. n. rr ? e £,n ghfli mail of the 3d instant, was pref me t 0 w * ie * 1 paper went t The French letters of the 2d, contain | an official account of the French head I quarters being before the gaies of Genoa, and that every preparation was making to evacuate the Genoefe territory, which per fectly agrees with our last account, that Suwarrow’s army was but a few miles from Genoa. The want of provisions in the French army had been fa extreme, that several of the corps had no bread for three and four days at a time. The French letters of the 3d, state the decease of Pius VI. at Valence, in the 82d year of his age. Some letters from Italy state, that gen. Suwarrow had altered his plan of opera tion so far, as to march, conjointly with gen. Melas, towards Afti, in order to pre vent the junClion of the remains of Jou bert’s army with that of Championet. The electorate of Mentz, and the envi rons of Heilbrun, &c. where the French lately penetrated, have futfered considera bly from the number of forced requisi tions. From the motions and marches, it should appear that the archduke will soon begin a frefli campaign in the province of AlfaCt, and along the left borders of the Rhine ; this is further indicated by a cir cular letter of the prince (in quality of field marshal of the empire) to the princes of the Germanic circles, refpeCTing their contingents; in which his idiighnefs calls the present moment the molt favorable for Germany to recover its old frontiers, See. The ministers of Prussia and Saxony have decidly declared, at the Diet of Ra tifbon, that their governments would fur nifh no contingents to the new army of the empire, and that their governments were resolved to abide by the system of neutrality, which in faCl, is a complete feeffion of the Germanic constitution. It might almost be asked, what other busi ness those ministers can have any longer at Ratifbon, except that of giving a nega tive to the mod important concern of that august afTembly—the adopting means for their very exiftencc. The hereditary prince of Orange has published a proclamation (in the Dutch language) to the people of the united pro vinces ; which certainly would have a bet ter effeift, if an auguft'and new relation of his to second his endeavors with 20,000 men; for without some source, we fear his prayers will go on but (lowly. The letters from Holland seem to agree that the Dutch and French forces are by no means adequate to the English troops, which, by their own estimate, amounted already to 20,000 men. Letters from Hague, of the 7th, an nounce the arrival of the duke of York in Holland. All the French troops ordered from Flanders to Holland, have received coun ter-orders to protect the Flanders coast, where they expe&ed the third division of the Englifli troops to effefi a landing. FRONTIERS of HOLLAND, September 3. The hereditary prince of Orange has published the following proclamation (in Dutch) to the people of the United Neth erlands : “We Wilhelm Frederic, hereditary prince of Orange, Naflau, &c. “ Providence having crowned with the happiest success the endeavors of the allied powers, who have taken up arms in de fence of their religion and independence; the moment being at last arrived when, with the powerful assistance of his Britan nic majesty, and of his allies, our country will at length be liberated from the yoke under which it has groaned for four years; and his highness the prince of NafTau, Orange, hereditary ftadtholder, governor, captain, general, and admiral of the Uni ted Netherlands, as well as hereditary cap tain and admiral general of the union, &c. our father, having in a proclamation, da ted at Hampton court the 28th July, ’99, already declared his sentiments and inten tions with which he is animated towards the good inhabitants of the state : we in vite you, empowered and ordered by our father, by a decree dated December 19, 1798, and agreeably to his intentions, to aliirt us in gaining the objeft by which we are animated, namely, the re-establishment of religion and liberty, according to the principles of our legal constitution. In stead of the long slavery which has hither to oppressed you, that true liberty is again offered to you which alone is able to pro mote your happiness. You may rest as sured that you have to expeft the protec tion of the laws, and freedom of persons and property, if you offer no resistance to your delivers, but assist them as much as lies in your power. Be therefore united, lay aside all difeord and party spirit; ab stain from revenge ; endeavor to maintain tranquility ami order, and be persuaded, that on our part we are animated by th#| fame sentiments, and that it is our mod J ardent desire to awaken peace and harmo ny among the inhabitants, to establish which we shall do every thing in our pow cr. We proraife to all those who (hail re turn to their duty, and assist in liberating our dear country, that their sentiments and anions during the revolution shall be forgotten, and that they shall receive pro ’irtion ; those in particular, who have been in any official capacity have nothing to fear on that head, excepting that they have neglected their duty, or been guilty of crimes which are considered as such in every country, and are punilhable before impartial judge. AH inhabitants may therefore rely upon perfect security, and we expert, that no opposition will be made to our endeavors. Should, unexpec tedly, the contray be the case, every one will have to ascribe the disagreeable con sequence, to his own condurt,as such per lons will experience the rigor of the laws. We caution likewise all present rulers and public functionaries, not to offer any one belonging to the ancient legal government, or who shall be known as a partisan of the house of Orange, as they will have to answer for their lately, with their persons and property. “ It being also necessary, to prevent an archy, immediately to establish a govern ment, we invite and request all those, who before the invasion of the seven Provinces and of the country of Drenthe by the French, have been employed inthe depart ments of police, finance and justice, im mediately to take upon themselves the provisional administration of those depart ments, till a government shall be properly established ; and also to put again into ac tivity the adminifiration of government of towns and villages, with exception of those who have had a fliare in the revolu tion, or who have made any declaration for supporting that illegal form of govern ment, or given evident proofs of their at tachment to it. “ We likewise order all public functiona ries of the prelent illegal government to continue in the exercise of their duties, till the provisional government shall be estab lished ; enjoining them however, not to embezzle any money, or secrete docu ments or papers. We particularly forbid all receivers, to make any payment to them whatever, and they shall be answera ble with their property. “ Concerning the United States in gene ral, we have thought proper till the proper government shall be re-established, to ap point a provisional government, confiding of able persons from the refpertive pro vinces, which we shall appoint by letters, to represent the states of the United Neth erlands. v Lastly, we order the army and navy to contribute to the re-establishment of the legal government, to maintain order and tranquility, sand to obey the com mands of the officers nominated by his highness. The officers in the service of the illegal government, who shall assist in effecting this, shall be particularly remem bered. (Signed) Wilhelm Frederic. Hereditary prince of Orange. SHERIFF’S SALES.
