The oLftinacv'and inveteracy of the con
tending armies lurpaffed that which thev
had evinced at the battles of Novi and on
the Trebbia. The loss. of the French,
who fought iike desperate men, has been
very great; but our own has likewise not
been inconsiderable. By sea admiral lord
Keith blockades Genoa in such a manner,
that during the day time his fleet is always
drawn up in order of battle, and at night
the whole fleet (even the smallest veflels)
rre illuminated, and stationed in such a
manner as to make it entirely impoflible
even for MalTena to escape in perion.
London Gazette , May 10.
From lord Keith, to Mr. Nepean,
Minotaur, off Genoa, April 18.
“ I have the fatisfaCtion of acquainting
you for the information of their lorciilups,
that the Guillaume Tell having attempted
to escape from Malta on the evening of the
29th ultimo, was intercepted and captured
the following morning by his majelty’s
lliips Lion, Foudrovant and Penelope;
but as I have not yet received capt. Dix
on’s account of the particulars of the ac
r'ca, or of the loss which has been lultcin
e<?Pl must take another opportunity of
communicatingthem. I understand, how r
ever, that the enemy was completely dis-
IWafted before flic- (truck, and that the Li
on and Foudroyant have had killed and
wounded about forty men each.”

LOUISVILLE, Jnly 22.
Copt of a letter from Colonel Hawkins, to his
Excellency Governor Jachfn , dated Eon-
IfClkinfon , July 18, 1800.
I informed your Excellency in my last
W Tarvin, qf the unexpected surrender
of the Fort of St. xMirks, to Bowles and
lbs partizans. As soon as this fliameful
traufaCtion was made known to the officers
of his Catholic Mijefty in Penfacoia, thev
im nmouftv determined in a council of
war, that fcis Excellency Don Vecente
Foich, fmuld form an expedition, for the
pttrpofe of retaking that fort; and for its
better success, he ftiould command it in
perfort. To tliis effect (even veflels of war
and two merchantmen, armed, were put
in readiness, and on board of them were
embarked, the troops and (tores that were
thought neceflary for the undertaking—
This force failed on the 17th Jane.
I have been informed by two runners to
our Chiefs, from the Simenolas, who were
or, or near St. Marks, on the arrival of
this force, that the expedition has (uc
rerded. One of them a Cuflatuh reports,
“ that the fleet appeared off the mouth of
Apa'atchc, and one fliip of war failed up
and began to cannonade the fort, that on
tlie appearance of this force, gen. Bowles
opened the ftorcs, invited the Indians to
t,.k. all toe goods they could carry off, and
to dear themselves—this they did, and he
, his partizans quitted the fort, and re
trr-V*! to Miccofooke ” The other a
C''?V.ha 1. reports, “ that lieand his com
panions were encamped a little on this fide
of the fort of Sr. Marks, that nine fail of
trpanifli galievs were seen coming up the
river, at fight of which, Bowles began to
•put what goods and ammunition he could
in a (mall vessel, and set out up the river;
and his fecorid man took the keys, opened
all he stores to the red people, and told
them to take any thing they could carry
off; but in the height of their plundering,
the galleys approached so faft, firing a
number of balls which hit and knocked
down fume of the wall, and funk a fmail
vefie! lying under them, that the plunder
ers were alarmed and fled. .Gen. Bowles
pufiied up the river in his fmail veil'd, but
being difeovered, and purfned by a galley,
he and his Indians quitted her and went on
fiiore, and the galley captured the veflel.
He further ft2tes, that Bowles wanted the
Cbeauhau Indians to fire on the Spaniards
which they refufed to do.”
I have the honor to be, with sincere re
gr.r 1 nnc esteem fir, your Excellency’s
moil obedient servant,

WEDNESDAY, July 30, lSeo.
FROM the latest European accounts,
it appears that the difalters of the Austri
ans on the Rhine, have been overballanc
-7 f \
ed, by their repeated and important fuc
cefles in Italy. After various obstinate
and bloody battles it appears Maflena and
his late powerful army of 10 or 12,000
men took shelter in the city of Genoa,
where it was expeCted they would soon be
compelled to surrender themselves prison
ers to the Austrian forces. \

The approaching election of President
and Vice-President of the United States
engages in a great degree public attention
in the Northern and Eastern States, and
every effort is excited by the politicians of
the day to secure the election to their fa
vorite candidate ; and calculations are
frequently preiented, with apparent con
fidence in their accuracy, and with very
*
diffierent results. In one instance we are
informed that these important offices will
be filled by firm federal characters, the u
niform and tried friends of the people—in
another in the stile of exultation it is an
nounced, that men of different characters
will be elected, from whence an alteration
in the measures of adminiltration is pre
filmed, and even the changes which the
supposed new President will make in pub
lic offices is often hinted at —whether
those who make these calculations, are
themselves looking forward to elevated
ranks—or whether if they were to gain
them they would difeharge their duties
more faithfully than their predeceflbrs, we
pretend not to conjecture—lt is presuma
ble the good sense of the American people
will direCt their choice in this important
cleCtion to those whose love of country
has been manifefted in times of greatest
danger—whose firtpuefs and energy, has
opposed with success, firft British oppres
sion and injustice, secondly French ag
grtfiion, irifolence and intrigye, and third
ly the designs of both nations, who by their
extrinsic efforts, and internal agents, have
endeavoured to deprive our country of its
liberty and independence.
The Legislature of Connecticut have
lately parted an aCt prohibiting Theatrical
exhibitions —considerable difficulty, tis
Paid, arose in parting this aCt, not as to its
principle, in which there was no diversity
of opinion, hut as to the wording it, or
rather as to the letters,of which one of the
molt important syords in the aCt fliould be
composed. The bill originated in the
upper house, and was feut to the lower
lioufe under the title of “ an aCt prohibit
ing Noah Webster, Esq.
a member of the lower house after some
ingenious observation’s moved to amend
the bill by striking out the letter E, in the
ana inferring O, so as to make
j /hews read Jhows —This after a lengthy and
intereftmg debate was carried, and the bill
as amended was sent to the upper house,
who refufing to concur, a committee of
conference was appointed, who having a
bly difeufled the various merits of the two
letters, and their refpeCtive claims to pre
ference, at length gave their opinion in
favor of the O, and the bill as amended
parted. We have seen no extracts from
the lengthy debates on this interesting fub
jeCt, but understand they evidence the su
perior talents of the Connecticut Aflembly
at the game of E. O.
