? 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. HAMBURGH, June 18. The political fttuation of Europe be fini to change ftnee France and Austria ave entered into negotiation.*, without she concurrence of any other great power, thofc of the fourh are all of one accord r-fpefting the edublilhment of peace, and those of the North will confvquently be Compelled to unite thcmfclvrs more clofr ly, in order to maintain the balance, and to prevent the conclusion of a general peace, which might tend to their injury. 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 ♦he duke of Portland's office with dis patches from governor Hunter, at Bota ny Bay. The advices date the iiland to ke in a very flouriihing condition. 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 fling only of 25. Our fl ets alio block up the French anti Dutch fleets, in Bred and the Texel. : 3* l y 3- 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 free maintenance of the French troops tiil they (hall leave the Venetian territo ry : 3-coo.oco iivres in naval Itores, fix (hips of the line, 40 piftures, the nor-'f valuable MSS. in the L;b ary of St. Maik, and several fiatues. 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 fl-ct, was Handing up Toibay. July 5. 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 ty, and conduced to the silver Lion Inn, 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 ladelphia, to his friend in this city, dated 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. NORFOLK, Augujl 24. Extratt of a Utter from commodore Bar ney, to his friend in this town, dated Mfdw r i % at ft a, A1 ml 2t» 179*'. “ Auer seven months bioslcade by the oa*my, I ha*e at length escaped their vigilance. The monnent they reduced the number of their (hip* to watch my movements (from 12, 8,6, and, until these few days, 5 (hips to 2, that i 3 the (hip of the line and a frigate) I was de termined to pu!h out with my two fri gates, which I did yesterday, although I 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.” C HARLESTON, September 2. The (hip Atlas, arrived in the Dela ware the beginning of this month, brought 500 paflengers—Veibal accounts date, that there were 13 vefiels at Londonderry, 2 at Beltaft, and 1 at Newry, which ex p'drd to come out to America with pas sengers; the desire of leaving that coun try was more prevalent than ever. September 6. An eiedion was held on Monday and yrfterday, for a member of congrcfs for Charleston diftrid, vice William Smith, Esq. appointed minister to Portugal. On clofi- g the poll, there appeared for major I no mas Pinckney, 337 votes-—una nimous. September 7. Arrived fehooner Fanny, Brooks, Bourdeaux, 56 days. Capt. Brooks left Bourdeaux the 1 oth July, at which time the general conversation was of PEACE universal ; he beared noihingof the invi tation of Gen. Pinckney from Rotter dam, or of the arrival at Lift : of lord Mai me (bury. Extract cf a letter from a gentleman in Phi ladelphia to his friend in London, dated 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.” w The sale of col. Stalling's proper ty advertised in the firft page of this pa per to be f:»ld on the t Bth instant, is pelt poned until the firft Tuefday in Odober next. J. GREEN, D. M.
