Late European Intelligence,
From London papers to the 9th of September, re
ceived by the ship Two Friends, arrived at New.
York, in 39 days from London.
LONDON, September 3.
Yesterday we received Paris Journals to
f the 29th. Largereinforcementsare march
ing to the armies, and great preparations
are making for war. One of the papers by
its comments fnews the public fear that
hostilities wiil be renewed ; and that this
feeling prevails, we perceive by the date of
the funds. The Tiers Confolide have fal
len to 31 f, the price at which they were
left. The Paris journals give no inform
ation refpefting the uegociations.
In London, the public hopes appear to
be more fanguiue than in Paris. The
funds on Saturday arose considerably, and
iurprized those who few no reason for
such a change. Many circumfhnces were
reported to nave occasioned the rife ; all of
them relating to a negociation for peace.
The frequent arrival and departure of vd
fels between Calais and Dover lad week
naturally produced conjee? ires that the
two governments were communicating,
and the date of the funds (hewed that tiie
inference drawn was of a favourable kinu.
We cannot date the nature 0? the dispatch
es conveyed in thole vessels : but it is cer
tain that an intercbnrfe has taken place,
which has the opening of a negociation for
its objeft. That objeft will, probably
soon be attained. We believe the rife of
the funds on Saturday, was the effeft of
the determination of the Cabinet Council
on Friday. The quedion of treating with
France in conjunction with Austria was,
it is said fully difeuded, and favourably
fettled in the Cabinet Council on Tuef
day : the result of that Council was sent
to the king for approbation ; his Majesty’s
opinion was received, and another Cabin
et Council held on Friday, finally to deter
mine the cotirfe to Ik pvtffued. That
Council we suppose, resolved to negociate,
and the knowledge of this faft railed the
funds on Saturday. Whether the offer to
treat will be made through Otto, in answer
to the overtures he gave in a week ago, or
whether it will be sent to Paris through
Vienna is uncertain. But a negociation
will probably commence soon ; and we
expeft Mr. Grenville will be appointed to
carrv it on.

l ive late difpaiches from Lord Whit
vPiyth we have reason to believe, were lei's
iatisfaftory than Government expected.
The Danifli Minister, we are told, adorn
ed a lofty tone, declaring, that although
his Danifli Majesty should be unaided by
Russia or Sweden, he would nevertheless
assert the rights of nations, awtf'oppofe, to
the extent of his powers, the growing ty
ranny of the British Flag.
Government have received accounts of
increased exertions to prepare the Brest
Fieet for sea—that considerable bodies of
troops had been ordered thither from the
Interior ; and that Buonaparte was about
to repair to Bred to accelerate and animate
the meditated enterprize.
The Court of Vienna on ratifying the
Treaty with this country on the 12th ult.
ifiued a Declaration to all the Courts of
Europe, announcing the determination of
his Imperial Majesty not to treat with
France, except in conjunction with Eng
land and his other allies.
Meflena and Brune, are about to repair
to Paris, where it appears that the Com
manders in Chief of all the armies of the
Republic have alfembled, a circumstance
which is of itfelf fufficient to remove all
idea of the resumption of hostilities. If
there were not other less offenfible reasons
for this, it iserroneoufly supposed by some,
that the trifling fall in the French Funds
was an anti pacific fymtom. It is the na
tural consequence of the delay which the
new turn that the negociations have taken
has produced, in their expeded iflue. We
ftiali in a few days fee the hopes of the pub
lic rife more rapidly than they have fallen.
Exit aA of a letter fron EJuieur , August 23,
“ Admiral Dickson’s fleet, except the
Tender and Sulpher bomb-vefltls, which
have been obliged to put into Warberg, are
anchored here in the found, above the Cas
tle. The Bomb-velTels are gone farther up
towards Copenhagen. This certainly has
a very ferioiis appearance, but we fhali
have little doubt that the dispute will be
adjusted without proceeding to extremities.
The last convoy, which was rather numi
rous, failed two days ago under convoy of
the Martin (loop of war. All the vellels
that arrive from the Baltic are ordered to
proceed through to about a league below
the Castle, where the Wackzambeid is in
waiting to take charge of them.”
“ Copenhagen, Aug. 30, 1800.
I have the latisfadion to acquaint you
that I yesterday ligned a Convention with
the Danish Minister, on terms fatisfadory
to his Majesty, and such as will, I think,
ftrengthenthe bonds of friendfliip and alli

VIENNA, August 16.
As soon as the Adjutant of Buoaparte «
Citizen Duroc, had arrived at Alti-Oettin
gen or more properly,Brauman,in Bavaria,
and irom thence had lent a Courier on to
this City, Count Lehrbacli, or, according
toothers Count Didrichftein, was Tent
off to Braunau, accompanied only by a
Secretary.—The report that Citzen Duroc
was to go on to Vienna, and that he only
waited at Braunau till he obtained pafles,
is intirely falfe. It is now known that it
unagreed on at Paris, between the Chief
Consul and Count St. Julien, that a con
ference and the neceflarv diplomatic pro
ceedings lbould take place between Duro
and an Austria Plenipotentiary at Brunau,
on the Bavarian frontier. It is now aflert
ed that at Braunau the preliminaries of
peace were figued, or according to some
the ratifications of the preliminaries ex
changed. Citizen Duroc set out immedi
ately for Paris, lo that there is no longer a
doubt of a peace between France and Au
stria. TheEnglilhembaflador, Lord Min
to, has sent off a Courier to his Court with
an Account of what has palled. Some af
firm that the convention with England is
ratified, but under such ltipulations that it
is no obstacle to the Treaty of Peace with
France.
General St. Julien, besides the Ratifica
tion of the Convention concluded after the
Battle of Marengo, has brought the Ratifi
cation of two other conventions.
AUGSBURGH, August 18.
Gen. Deftbles yesterday made it no se
cret, tliat Adjutant-General Duroc was
carrying back to Paris the Preliminaries of
Peace ligned by the Emperor. The Mo
difications which the Court of Vienna lias
suggested to be made in the Propolitions
of the Chief Consul, are of that kind, that
a Definitive Treaty mav soon be expefted
to take place. Duroc did not go to Vien
na, but Count Dietrichftien, who was ap
pointed to meet him a* Alti-Oettingeri,
condlifted the Negociations with him.
The principle Head-Quarters still here, bu*
are expected to be removed.
A Congress for Peace wili probably soon
be opened, which will not be of long du
ration.

WEDNESDAY, November 5, ISOO.
THE Legislature of this state were
by law to have commenced their feifion
on Monday la ft.
The appointment of Ele&ors of Prefi
drnt and Vice President of the United
States, will probably be a fubjeft of early
confid’eration—the mode for these appoint
ments is not yet pointed out, no doubt
however exists, but the choice of Electors
will rest with the Legillature.—A concur
red resolution paired the senate and house
of representatives last feifion, requiring the
* ele&ors of the several counties in this state
at the next general ele&ion for the state
legillature, to vote for four persons as el
e&ors of rrelident and Vice Prefident—
but the law of the United States, requiring
the electors to be chosen within thirty four
days preceeding the firft Wednesday in
December; and the general election in
this state, being upwards of 'Jjxty days pre
ceeding that day, the resolution of the two
legislative branches, was negatived by the
Governor, and this negative being at the
clofeofthe feifion, no further proceeding
was had on the fubjedt.—Tlie mode there
fore of choosing electors now remains to
be pointed out —and the resolution which
provides the mode, will without doubt at
this late period, leave the election, tis elec
tor*. with the legislature.

Mr. Cflcott who was mentioned in our

lwindring had occafioued mod extenlivt
evil, was lately apprehended at Carlifle in

abfeonded.
A bill was found by the Grand Jury of
the federal Circuit Court in Philadelphia
. last month, against William Duane editor
of tht Aurora,for certain libellous publica
tions against the senate of theU.S. Mr. Dal
las on the part of the defendant urged for
a postponement of the tr> al, on the ground
of the period between the finding the bill,
and the appearance of his client in court,
being too fliort to enable him to colleCt
testimony to substantiate his publications
—Mr. Ingersoll the diftriCt attorney ex
prefled a willingness to afford every op
portunity to bring this, aud every cause
fairly before the court. If the charges
were founded the public ought to know it,
for to a republican government nothing
was so neceflary as confidence in its legis
lators, nothing more fatal than to deprive
them of it through misrepresentation— if
the charges were unfounded the defendant
merited severe punifliment—he would
give his ready co-operation in every step
which might be taken to obtain evidence,
that nothing might be alledged in this pro
secution as the effeCt of party, Judge Pat
terson said—ls the evidence in question is
iudilpenfable, then it may be proper to af
ford time. But as to party operating in
this or any case, the court knows no party,
and is neither guided nor aCtuated by any.
Let the cause be postponed.
SUMMARY
From the New- York Gazette.
We find nothing in the papers concern
ing our Envoys. But a paflenger in the
Friends informs, that just before they fail
ed, news from Paris had been received that
they were about departing for America.
The Duke of Kent has arrived at Lon
don from Halifax, and received with great
affeftion.
The Englifli mail for America was made
us on the third ult. for the Mary Packet.
General Kleber, it appears, was aflafin
ated by an Egyptian in dilguife. The
Grand Vizier is determined to decide the
fate of Egypt sword in hand ; he was rein
forcing his army to 100,coo men. Every
thing threatened an immediate war with
the French.
Duroc is said to have left Paris again for
Vienna, accompanied by senator Berthele
my.
Moreau and Lecourbe had arrived at
Paris from the army—General Brune is
to command the army of Italy, and Mac
donald the army of reserve.
The differences between Great Britain
and Denmark are amicably terminated.
The Xlaijes are to pay Great Britain two
millions for the expences incurred in fit
ting out the naval armament —and the Eng
lilli were to restore the frigate which they
had taken together with the convoy. The
Danes have contented to have their con
voys examined, excepting those in the
Mediterranean.
Mr. Bunce,
EMELIUS tells us, he “ builds
all his importance as a good republican on
his opposition to the politics of the Prefi
dent”—there are many others in the U
nited States, who understand as little as
Emelius the true interefis of our country,
who are endeavouring to acquire fame con
sequence in the fame way—For all the fuc
cels that their exertions merit, and no
more, they have the best wiflies of
