The attorney-general had filed againft h im e igh t and t we n t y i nd i £1 m e n ts, to each of which the prifoner plead guilty to the court. And yefterday morning Klein schmdty a clerk and accomplice of Kaminfky, was alfo arraigned at the bar of the court upon fimilar indidtmcms, to all of which he likewife plead guilty, and lubrnitted to the court. The judge then fentenced the offenders to fourteen years hard labor upon the roads—a fentence which it is to be hoped will an nihilate the practice of counter feiting and forging, which has already arifen to an alarming height in this country. Auguji 29. From unqueftionable autlio rlty we are warranted in faying, that peace between England and France was firmly expedfed to he declared in Paris at the grand fete, on the 14th of July. The intelligence from Egypt was brought down to the beginning of June, at that time nothing decifive had occurred, although fome hard fought adHons had taken place. An English frigate and feveral tranfports had been loft, but whether in the Nile, or the “ Red Sea,” our infor mant could not recoiled!. Pro digious preparations were in rea dinefs all along the coaft of France for a defeent on Fne- O 1 End, provided a peace did not j | take' place. On the other hand | the Englifh cruizing veftels were every where diligent to ward off Id great a calamity. Augujt 3 i , Vert.al Information. Tuft as the Maryland left Havre, forty five gun boats lad ed for Dieppe, their appearance was extremely intereftins and beautiful, each carried a 24poun der on the bow, and a 6 pounder lon the Hern :—they have three rnafes befides a threat number of rowers on each fide, they are decked forward, and aft, but in the centre, are. open, with an awning covering; below is 100 m i for two horfes, and each carries | ico foldiers, independent of the j boats crew. The Englifh cruiz j ing veftels cannot prevent thofe ; boats from failing clofe along fhore, to the general rendezvous 1 o at Dieppe, Bclongne, Calais, and Gravelines, at which places near ly 1000 gun boats were collect ed or collecting; at fevcral times five, fix, lomctimes ten | boats, had failed from Havre i together, and have arrived fafe ! at the ports above mentioned. The intention of Buonaparte, (as laid to be declared by him klf) is to embark ico,coo men in tliefe boats, which cannot in a calm night be prevented from crofting the Channel, and then invading England - y whilft infe rior bodies attempt to co-ope rate from the harbor of Breft, St. Malocs, &c. fuch were the plans fpoken of by intelligent people at Havre, when the Ma ryland failed, in cafe the war continued, and Inch were the movements of the gun boats, which in feme meafure corref ponded with thefe declarations; here we entertain (and with juftice) fuch enlarged ideas of Britifh naval ftrergth, that we are taught to laugh at all views of invading England, as merely fpeculative; but to fuch a man as Buonaparte, elevated by a greater portion of fuccefs than any other general the world has yet feen, nothing appears im poffible; he knows that the diftance between the above ports and England is flicrt. He ex pels that his troops having land ed, every thing will give way before them; and he knows that in a calm, the largeft Beet is perfectly unable to prevent their paftTng acrofs the Channel in a few hours; It is faid that he calculates upon the lofs of sC,cco men in the attempt, but that he fpeaks confidently of the ' final refult, being glorious to the arms of France. Yeflerdav returned to this j port, the United States fhip of | war Maryland, John Rogers, i cfq. commander, in 39 days ! from Havre de Grace. This is j the fhip in which the convention ( with the French republic was j fent out. A file of the Jattft Paris papers down to July, brought by a particular friend of the editor, were accidentally left on board, of courfe lie is unable to lay before the public any rranflations this day. The verbal information which the Editor has been able to obtain, from a convti fation with a:i intelligent pafTciiger, lb *. That on the arrival ot' the Maryland at Havre, the repub lic’s yatch was fent off to carry Mr. Dawlbn and the captain on fhore; That Mr. Dawfon was receiv ed and treated with every mark of attention in Paris, and had an interview with Buonaparte ; That the convention was not ratified ; but was in fuch a train as to enfure its ratification in a few days after the Maryland failed. Mr. Dawfon remaining in Paris until it was completed. That the French republicans difplayed the utmoft happinefs at the fpeedy profpeft of an amicable fettlement of our un fortunate difpute with that coun try. That the utmoft confidence of all clafles was placed in Bu onaparte, to whom they looked up as the political Mdfiah who was to enfure peace, profperity, tranquility and happinefs to the people. That provifions were extreme ly plenty, and very cheap, the average price of flour in France being about feven dollars per barrel. In regard to affairs in Egypt, nothing particular had tranfpired flnee our laft accounts : thefe affairs ftill remained “ in ftatu quo,” both the French and the Britiili claiming the vuftoryover, and the profpedt of a permanent poflHflon of that country. That negociations for peace were carrying on in Paris, be tween Mr. Merry and the fir ft conful i the refult of which was not known ; but an American gentleman of the fir ft refpefta bility wrote his friend at Havre on the Bth July, “It is faid a peace has been concluded on between the Britifh minifter and the firft conful, but nothin" official has tranfpired : It is faid the proclamation will be read at thcFetc on the 14th.” ( AmericanJ LOUIS VILLI, SATURDAY, Siptcmho \g, IPOI. Juft ice to ourfelves, and an attention due to the repeated complaints of many refpeftable Sublcribers, rendered it necef fary to infert a note fome time ago, in which we with truth declared that our papers had been regularly tranfmitted, and that if Mr. Hobby, would not deliver them we could not help it ; as it was an abufe for which we were forty that we had not at the prefent any other correc tive than an appeal to his feel ings and fenfe of juftice and propriety. After a profound filence and lapfe of fome weeks we find that this appeal has only operated to awaken his long dormant feelings of fhame from which we conclude thac his lenfc of juftice and propri - ety, if not entirely extinct, is buried in fuch a deep (lumber, that nothing fliort of the found (f the lafi Trumpet will aroule if* The manifeft confufion apparent in his matter-piece of Hander, conveys to us the moft incon trovertible evidence of a mind
