by virtue of the laws of war,
Confidering that the pride
and fanaticifm of certain governments
have kindled the flames of war, crimes

creafed to an alarming degree: that it
is in particulir the chief ot’ an empire
far removed to the north of Europe

the part of the French, is made the in
llruinent of the 1 -?d of the English
government agai French repub

and that this chief indiferiminately
menaces and infuits every government
which does not adopt this blind and
unreasonable policy.
jtinly, That if the course of this
moral and political corruption is not
cheeked by an appeal to every govern

short if thele atrocities are not exposed
to the public view with that reproba

in future the laws of war wilt be whol

-without any pledge for their obfer

LONDON, Dec. 5.
Imelligence was received on the
13th ult. at the head-quarters ot the
archduke Charles, that Field Marftial
Prince Suwarrow had received orders,
by a courier from St. Peterfburgh, to
withdraw from the theatre of war with
the whole Ruffian army. The archduke
immediately sent off dispatches with
this important imformation to Vienna,
and to Field Marflial Lieutenant-
Prince Reufs, and Field Marlha! Von
Orelli, who commanded the Auffrian
forces in Grifonsand Feldkirch. The
time of the departure of the Ruffians,
and their route* are not mentioned, a'nd
it is presumed that counter orders may
vet arrive from St. Peterfburgh, (hould
fome particular circumttance intervene.
It is, however, fuppufed that the Ruf
fian army will retire for the present
into Bohemia. Orders have been given,
to prepare every thing for the march
of the troops through Munich, and a
great many vessels have been put under
requisition on the Upper Danube. The
heavy artillery is to be sent down the
Danube to Litz,
The corps of Condy is to go into
Upper Batavia.

The Hamburgh >■> lil which became
due on Wednesday, did not bring 11s
any intelligence from the theatre of
the war in Italy* with which we were
not partly acquainted by the Paris
papers that arrived la(t week} except
ing that of the surrender of Ancona,
an event which took place on the 1 irh
ult. Unofficial articles, however,
(upply in fome degree the want of
authentic accounts, and give 113 the
derails of the engagement of the Bth,
which terminated like the preceding,
to the advantage of the Andrians.
They took pofllffion of an entrenched
camp of the French beyond Coni, and
forced 1 kewile the passage of the-
Coiodi Tende. The loss of the French
(ince the 4th was estimated at nearly
12.000 men. They have experienced,
during the present campaign, few
defeats so complete, and above all, so
decid ein its consequences. The
Aullrians have, it is said, again taken
p .ffdfionof Aliola, and even of M >unt
St. Gothard. This requires confirma
tion, but certain it is at lead, that
they are yet matters of Berlinzona*
and of the Italian Bailiwicks.
In Switzerland nothing new has
taken place. The evacuation of the
Grifon country by the French is of
ficially confirmed by a report from

PARIS, November 27.
Buonaparte, on the sth Brumaire,
had a meeting in his apartment ot the
bankers and principal merchants of Pa
lis, to the number of about 70— he ad
dressed them in an extemporaneous
speech, in which he pointed out the ur
gent wants under which the government
laboured, and infilled on the claims
which he ought to have, and which
already he had obtained on the public
confidence ; and threw out hints of the
speedy return of a glorious and equita
ble peace. He also assured them, that
the reign of robbers and plunderers was
no more, and that thole who had pro
perty, (hould no longer be defpotled by
those who had none. He likewise s
---sored them* that intrigue (hould no long
er foppiy the place of talents and learn
ing ; but that, in order to accomplffb
♦hr.falutary objefts he alluded to, the
public treasury was under the neceflity
of calling on commercial men for an ad
contributions (hould come in.
In consequence of this add refs, the
bankers and principal merchants imme

12 millions oilivres, which wasinftant

The clalfical department will be su
perintended by Mr, M*Cay, a gentle
man who has received his education in
Europe, and can produce the moll ref
pedabie credentials of his abilities in
that line; he teaches the Latin and
Greek languages by methods the tnoft
approved, and will engage to dismiss his
Pupils well qualified to enter any uni
versity.
Mr. Ball's abilities as an English
teacher, will bear the ftrittett ferutiny,
he will continue to iniirutt his Pupils,

Keiping, English Grammar,
Geograthy and the use of the

For the fatisfaflion of parents, and
the more tegular conducing of the Aca

progress of the scholars; until such ap

Mr. Ball intend*, daring the summer

For the accommodation of those liv
