158 R O M E, March 20. Intelligence brought from Pakftine, bv way of the Levant, states, that al! the religious orders of Christians at Je rufalcm, and other parts of Palefline, have been thrown into the utmost con fiernation,’ by the conduit of a rebelli ous Pacha, of the name of Gezzear, then ravaging the whole of Gallilee, and committing every degree of violence Mpon perions and things. The chief had been Pacha of Tire, Sidon, and Da mafens, but being twicedepofed by the Government, for abusing his authority, die had heightened his disgrace by com mencing actual rebellion against the Grand Signior. Since he has been at the head of a number of insurgents, he lias made himfelf master of Joppa and Rama, which places he gave up to lie pillaged by his followers. He is said to have collected several millions of niaf ters in the province of Gallilee, and the treasury of the late Governor of Acre, m hom lie cauied to be aiTaifinated by one of his friends. He continues to lay hea vy contributions upon the inhabitants of Paledine ; and whenever his demands arc not immediately complied with, he threatens to destroy the antiquities and religious buildings in the city of Jerufa- Jem, and, m conicquenee of a single re fufal, has carried his profanenels lb far &s to level one of the churches, and to erect a fort with artillery upon the spot. Paris, April 24. The Directory has published the fol lowing proclamation, addrdled to the armies—• “ Defenders of the country, the mo ment approaches when you are again to take up your victorious arms ; the mo ment approaches when you are to quit a repose to which you consented in the hope a one that it would lead to an hon orable peace; but the seas of blood which have flowed have not yet fitiated the rage of your enemies. They unques tionably imagine that we are about to abandon the fruits of our victories, at the very moment when success is about to crown them. They imagine that we are about to demand of them as cowards a peace which we have offered them as generous enemies. . Let them conceive tliefe unworthy expectations ; wc will not be surprised ; they have never com bated for liberty—but what they cannot be ignorant of is that the brave armies with which they wilh again to try their llrength, are the fame by which they have been so often subdued. No ; they have not forgotten the prodigies of b reach valour ; they (till recollect with terror, both the redoubts of Gcmappe, and the plains of Fleures, and the fro zen rivers of Holland ; they recoiled that the Alpa and the Pyrenees have opposed to you but feeble barriers, and that the Peninsula of Qniberon became the tomb of the parricidal fiaves which, in the hope ot fubjedting you to the yoke of a master dared to set their feet on the foil of the Republic. If they could have forgotten all this, you will bring it to their recolledion by blows still more terrible ; you will teach them finally, thatnothir.gcan refill the efforts ot a great nation which determines to be free. t( Brave warriors, you have afforded the example of a diltntereftednfefs which cannot Cxift unless among Republicans. Oftentimes, in the midst of the greateif fcarcily of provisions, of an al moll ab solute want of the mod indifpcnfible ob jects you have displayed that heroical patience, which, joined to your impet uous valor, so eminently distinguishes you and will fignaiizc you to all nations, and to the eyes of posterity. Republi can soldiers, you will preserve this great character ; when with an unanimous voice the representatives of the nation have taken measures to provide effica cioufly for your wants, you will redou ble also your vigour and courage, to put an end to a war which can be terminal cd by new victories alone. ** In vain has the French governrnent manifefted to all the powers which wage war against France, a fi nee re wilh to restore at length the repose of exhaulted Europe ; it has in vain made to them the moll just and moderate propofittons; nothing has been capable of removing their deplorable blindness. Yes, brave warriors, we mull still have vidories; and it is your energy alone that can put a flop to this devaluating feourge. Pre pare therefore for a lalt effort, and let xtbc deeiftve; let every thing yield to, let every thing be diflipated by your phalanxes j let the new flags of your enemies, carried off by your triumphant hands, form, with the preceding ones the trophy with which, in the name of France, always great in her misfortunes, always just in her prosperity, the equi Columbian Jfclufeum, tabic peace you will give to the world will be produced. (( And you, generous defenders, who (hall have cemented that peace with your blood, you will soon return to the bo som ofyour families among your fellow citizens, to enjoy your glory—terrible still in your repose to all the enemies of the Republic.” INTERIOR OF FRANCE. From a Pans Paper. ■ Letters from Bourdeaux state, that the trade of that city is in abfoiute flag nation ; and that although all forts of merchandize are 25 per cent, cheaper than formerly, yet they cannot be fold for want of buyers. The Angers Gazette, gives an ac count of an adion near the Commute of Green Boure, between Cbateau-Gon tier and Sable, in which the Chouans were defeated, with thelofs of 230 men. The rebels Lave evacuated the town of Sazfterre, in the department of Cher, of which they had poifeiled themselves; and a battle has taken place between them and the Republican soldiers, wherein the former are said to have loit l’even hundred men. The Vendeans, on the 7th of April, font two of their leaders with a flagot truce to fumfnon the garrison of Tin cheray to furrendcr. The garrison ha ving fired on them, the Vendeans to the number of 3000 marched to the gates, and again furnmoned the place,wuca the inhabitants anfvvered the summons by a difeharge of mufquetry. The V endeans then set fire to the town, which contin ued to burn when the letter which brought the account left Vire. The inhabitants are said to have carried off ro or r 2 cart loads of their fellow citi zens, either killed or wounded. On the yth inst. about 100 men, arm ed with pikes and pitchforks, repaired to the Commune of Picdrefitte, burned the decrees and papers which respected the forced loan, and read a resolution to the Municipality,, which, in the name of the King, annulled all the republican acts. This armed force at lalt obliged the Municipality to cut down the tree of Liberty, and make the iccrctary write on a white flag,, which they hoiited on the itceple, tire following infeription : “ Five Is Rois el Saiati Religion LONDON, April 28. The following is an exaft lift of the number of officers in the Britilh navy, as they itoodon the firft: of Jan. one hnudred flag officers, tiiat is to lay, ’‘Admirals, Vice Admirals, and Rear Admirals; four hundred and sixty Cap tains ; two hundred and forty four Commanders ; and one thOufand nine 1 hundred and sixty one Lieutenants; making in the whole 2491 commilhoned, officers. The navy of this country, cxcluftve 1 of the hired vessels for protecting the coast trade, confuting on the 31st of March Jatt, of one hundred and ieventy lhips of the line, twenty nine, fifties, one hundred and eight frigates, two hun dred and eleven ftqops, making in the whole a navy of 598 (hips of war. May 2. The, nine fail of French Merchant men, which were lately chafed on shore by the Druid and Syren, a little to the Eaitward of Point a Perco, have all gone to pieced, and the greater part of thei r cargoes deft roved. On Saturday fe’nmght the Wet Docks, communicating with the harbour of Dublin, were opened with great pomp, in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant, &c. They cover a space of 23 acres, and confilt of three large bafons, winch are called by the names of Buckingham, Weftmoreland, and Camden. When the Grand Canal ffnali be united with the Shannon, an opening will be made through the-centre of the Island, be tween the Iriflt sea and the Weilern Ocean. Mr.de Bruifgui, who commands a division of tne Royal .Army of Britta ny, in the department of 1 licet Vilaine, having received intelligence that the - Republicans had affemblcd a corps of 2000 men between Fougcres and Ren nes, with a view of attacking him, fur prized them in their Camp, at the head of 1500 men, killed 500, and took all their baggage and field equipage. The french have formed a camp, comprifmg 1300 men, opposite the little Island of St. Marceau, with a view of repolieffing themselves of a station from whence their trade is so materially an noyed. A Portuguefc Indiaman,J having on board a very valuable cargo, bound from Brazil to Goa, and mounting 22 guns, in the India Ocean fell in with the French frigate Cybele, mounting 44 guns, and carrying 470 men, when a moR desperate and bloody action com- mcnced, which killed three hours and a half. The Portuguefc ship was obliged to fir ike her colours, after having had a vast number of men killed on board, dis missed her ; exacting, however, from the captain, an oath not to take arms against the French Republic again during the continuance of the present war. Thomas Paine calculates that our Na tional Debt advances in a series, like the numbers 8, 12, 18,27, 4°> 60, &e. that is, by adding to the preceding number its half, as 12 is composed of 8 and 4; and in this progression he fays our dcot has been con traded. Thus he eitimates the expence of our several Wars since the Revolution. The War of 1697, accord ing to him, colt us 21,500,000 The War of 1702, for the fake of even numbers, he calls - 32,000,000 The War of 1739 - 48,000,000 The War of 1756 - 72,000,000 TheWarofi77s - 108,000,000 And, by the fame rule, he calculates the expence of the present War at 162,000,000 . £• 443,500,000 It cannot be denied but that his state ments are on the whole tolerably cor red. By this rule our next War would coil us 243 millions, which added to our present debt and expences, would require taxes to the amount of more than 40 millions a year ! But the idea of this progression is anabfurdity. PORTSMOUTFI, April 27. Avery serious riot commenced last evening—About fetfen o’clock, several thousand labourers aiTembied in St. George’s square in the town of Portfea, complaining of the late and unexpected further rife on bread. A part of the afiembly were dispatched to the house of Sir John Carter, Deputy Mayor, to en treat a rediefs of their grievances, pre tending to have received positive infor mation of feme of the bakers having offered the millers and farmers a greater price for corn and flour than it was of fered to sale for. This party continued remonstrating with Sir John until near eleven o’clock, when they dispersed ; but a small party of them continued in the streets till a ve ry late hour, committing.many outra ges ; the windows of all the bakers were broken ; one of them had the front df his (hop taken entirely out, and all his goods and books were destroyed. KINGSTON, (Jamaica) May 21.

YOUR ufeful paper, as well as oth ers in the United States, do daily an nounce the arrival of fleets and armies in the Weft-Indies ; it being a fact well afeerrained that the arrival oi so many foreigners in those illands will, and do frequently produce malignant diseases. An inhabitant of this City, would beg ieavc to suggest to the City Council, the propriety of compelling veifels from any of the Weft-Indies (whether their be any flek on board or not) to perform a quarantine of at least five days, previ ous to their being viflted by the Health Officer oi the port, not regarding how long a palfage they may have had. I think this mode pursued, will be the means of preventing the introduction of diseases from thole Islands among us. It is hoped Council will take the mat ter up immediately,, they will have oth er fiates for their example. JVI. Messrs. Powers & Seymour, Please inject the jollowirg, and oblige B. 0. Scn'r.
