? A R I S, July 2. I
It i« said from good authority, that ge
n>ral Buonaparte, displeased with the con
duct of the emperor, uneasy about his im
menfepreparationsforv/ar, and havingper
haps ftiil further proof* of his bad faith, has
written to Vienna Tor'a very prompt and
pofiti/e uitimatum. The journica of the
marquis de Gallo and marshal Morsfeld,
and the long conferences at Montebello,
concur in a singular manner with this
news, which will appear too extraordina
ry, when the filiation of Europe and the
spirit of kingly cabinets is taken into
eenfideration.
Letters from Turin announce, that vio
lent symptoms of an approaching infar
ttltinn begin to appear in Piedmont.
Letters from ths Hague, i6i!i of June,
mention—all ciicumdancvs seem to an
nounce an approaching rupture wi ll Piuf
fia. Our land troops are ready to march ;
our artillery has got its complement; fe
veral generals ate already in this cit> but
the result of their conferences with the
•ommittee of external relations is Hill
Unknown. The Batavian fl.et is teady
ft fail, but its dettira*ion is a secret.

LONDON, July i.
In the fitting of the 20th Jun-, Paf
torst called the attention of the council of
foot to the political situation of France
and the United States of America. Ad-
Verting to the treaty of 1778, he pro
ftffed himfelf unable to conceive how the
dire&ory could iffuc the order of the 2d
Match lad, which was equivalent to a
declaration of war.—-After (hewing that
tlie direftory had the right of taking the
firft steps in a war, it belonged to the le
giflrtive body to examine and confirm it.
n What," said Paftoret, “ have been the
Sift* of fcoftility which have proviked
this order ? I admit that the commercial
treaty concluded in 1794, between Wafh
jrgtonand the Britilh adminilhation may
wive rife to fomc suspicions refpcdling the
united State?; but these ate not I'ufH
cient to judify a violation of the conlti
tution." Th« orator concluded by mov
ing for a message to the diredory, re
quiring an account of the political situa
tion of France, considered in relation to
the United States, and all orders of the
diredory be sent to the committee ap
pointed to confuler how Hr the legilla
tive body can annul the order cf the ex
ecutive body. These resolutions were,
with feme alterations, as to the commit
fee and the order of proceeding adopted,
and the fpecch of Pafloret was ordered to
be printed.
Late lad night arrived the mail from
flamburgh, due on Wrdnefday. The
mod important intelligence it brings, is
the official informotion that his Prulhau
majesty, whose duiolution seems to be
near at hand, has acknowledged the Ba
tavian republic.
Yefierday captain Collins ariived at

The blockade of Cadiz, by the fleet
under the command of the carl of St.
Vincent, is the mod complete and glo
rious a thing that the naval annals of this
, or any country can produce. F<r some
1 weeks pad the Britilh fl*et has been tnoor
-,«d in a line of battle across the harbor of
'Cadiz, which contains about 36 fail of
the Spanith line, the British fleet confi

The preliminaries of offered by
Buonaparte to the Venetians, contain 7
articles. They dipuiate for the payment
of 3,5001000 ducats in ready money ; the

The ltd dispatches from the directory
announced the arrival of the French com
miifioners at Lifl*, and added that M.
.Del Campo and M. Caharius were an
notated to attend the coulcr»att» on :he
| part of Spain, and that eammiflfoncrt
were, also named for the Batavian repub
lic. The diredtoty transmitted at the
fame time a proclamation of the muni
cipality of Lifl'*, announcing the prepa
rations for the Congress, by which it ap
pears that they are to be received with
the utmofl pomp of military honors, and
both the Englilh and the French com
missioners to be conlfantly attended by a
guard. The extreme civility ol this pomp
is perfe&ly intelligible. The French
seem rcfolved that lord Malmfb iry (hall
have no intercourse with the country.
Government received dispatches yes
terday from Rear Admiral Duncan, dat
ing, that he was then at anchor within
two leagues of the Dutch fleet in the Tex
el, which displayed 33 pen ants; and
that he had received unqueitionable advice
that Fiench and Dutch troops, to the
amount of 75:000 men, wete cantoned
and encamped on that part of the coad a
few davs before; a confi lerable part of
which hid been embarked on board the
trat sports.—The English admiral prefixes
for an immediate reinforcement.
We are concerned to it ate, that a fpi
rit of difeontent dill prevails in some of
the ships of lord Bridpoit'? fl et. Our
letters from Portsmouth and Plymouth
this morning, inform us that the Mal
borough, of 74 guns, had arrived at the
former port, and the Saturn, of 74 guns,
at the latter; both in a ifa'e of mutiny.
Lord Bridport, with the remaindcrof his

Lord M dm-fbiry and his suite landed
a? Calais on M >nday afternoon about 5
o’clock. Hi Lordship was received with
every pofli de r*fpeft by the Municipali

where an elegant dinner had betnprrpar
ed for him. A colonels’ guard was mount
ed for him, and remained upon duty until
his lordlhip’s departure for L’fle, which
tovk place yefletday morning at 6 o'clock.
Mr. Ross and a ineffenger proceeded to
Lil* on Monday evening to announce his
lotdfhi; 's arrival at Calais.
The diredory has given orders that the
reception of the English negociation (hall
be as flattering and splendid as polfible.
Le Tourneur arrived at Lisle on the 27th
ult. and the marquis del Campo and M.
Cabarrus have also proceeded to the place
of Negociation to attend the intetefls of
Spain.
Tom Paine, Hamilton Rowan, and
Naper Tandy are all in Paris. Surely
such a combudiblc Trio were enough to
overpower even the five kings. It is very
fortunate that they ate not at Lille to
blow up the negotiation.
NEW-YORK, Augufl 25.
Extratt of a Utter from Dr. Rulh, of Phi

on Juejday lajl.
“ The clil enemy of the cities of Ame
rica, and the offspring of their ignorance
and negligence, has again appeared among
us; more persons are now ill with it,
than were on the 22d of Augud 1 793.
Its mortality is much less than in chat
memorable year, owing to the more li
beral ufc of depleting remedies. It is
evidently contagious. Mr. Wynkoop
has publilhed in a letter to Di. Meafe, a
true account cf its putrid, and domedic
origin.
“ Keep your fl reefs, wharves', docks,
yards, and cellars CLEAN, and vou will
have NO YELLOW FEVER. I am
fatisfied that it has seldom been imported
from the Wed-Indies. Unfortunately,
the revrrfc cf this opinion is universal in
Philadelphia.
By uay of poftfeript, the Doftor adds
“ RAIN has a fcnfible influence in
checking our fever. Occasional (bowers
may, and I hope will, save our city."
We have it from good information,
that an express is on the road from Mr.
Eiiicott, informing government that the
Spaniards are io force at the Natchez,
and have sent an order to Mr. E licott
to withdraw the troops cf the United
States from their pod, which he has posi
tively refufed, unlef3 forced thereto.
The inhabitants of that country are dill
very anxious to be under the government
of the United States. How this business
will terminate, time will only difeover,
but it will probably appear by the dis
patches which we suppose will arrive to
morrow, that the intentions cf the Spa
rifh commander are evidently hodile to
this government.

“ Auer seven months bioslcade by the

termined to pu!h out with my two fri

saw them b >th 'to the southward of m= >
the winds were light, but we have loft
fight of them in the night. So ends a
blockade which has cost the enemy up
wards of 800-000 dollars, and has been
of no real injury to France. I hope soon,
to give a good account of ourselves, and
was I on equal terms with them in point
of force they Ihould have little to boast
of.”

Extract cf a letter from a gentleman in Phi

May ic, 1797.
“ Os public speaking in America the
following is a just criticism : I have heard
with much pleasure all the principal ora
tois of the present congrcfs, and candour
conftrain* me to remark, that eloquence
appears to me to be more a national trait
in the American than the English cha
rader; there are not only a greater num
ber of public f,makers but they generally
speak with more case and freedom. One
objedion however strikes a foieigner with
force, there is too much of the public de
bates converted intoafpecies of dialogue,
especially at the bar; the judges frequent
ly enter into little deputations with the
eounfel, which not only commits them in
some measure as to the point in question,
but impair* their own refpedability and
does great injury to the beauty and force
of the argument of the eounfel by those
continual interruptions.”
