T.ONDON, September to.
We arc happy to hear, that \
Mr. . ux, yielding to the wifhes I
or’ his friends, ha; refolved to |
attend parliament in future, as |
con dandy as before his le cell ion. 1
I'here.never was a period which j
called.more loudly f >r the exer- i
eife of his great abilities.
X]i£ intelligence we dated on
Monday is daily confirmed.
The duke of York is at Port!-
nymth infpeding the tortifica
tions, aflided by able officers; j
and he will make the circuit of ■
the coaft as far as Norfolk, for
this purpofe. By a letter from
Brighton, we find he is expeded
at that place in a clay or two.
A camp is forming there of ten
thoufand men; and fome of the
guards have airived at ihe ap
pointed Ipot. To begin form
ing a camp at this feafon of the
year, is an explicit declaration
that minifters have recently feen
.new caufe to apprehend an at
tack upon our coafbs by the
enemy. This new caufe, we
believe, con fills not only of the
menaces and preparations of the
French, but the almoft certain
and fpcedy rupture of the nego
riations. 'Die duke of York
will order new means of defence
on every part of the coaft which
may be thought the mod vul- j
ncrable, and his attention, will be i
particularly directed to Sulfex,
which we long fince dated mi- i
nifters apprehended to be the j
real object of the enemy, if they !
•dually defign invafion* Of 1
tills there can be no doubt, as far |
as preparations and menaces go. I
The buftle in all their ports near- j
eft to London, the marching of
troops and artillery neared the
coads i thefe movements have
been repeatedly dated ; and in
the Paris Journals to the yth,
which we received yedetday,
we find a circular letter of very
great importance from the ma
ritime prefeed, at Angers, to
fhe iub-prefects. It is there
announced, that the Trench fid
dlers having obtained peace on
the continent by conqucd, it re
mains for the French feamen to
obtain peace on the teas by con
qued likewiie. i he tafk of fol
diers is fulfilled; that of the
iailefts is beginning—the mo
o
m e n t a p p roac he s—armaments
are ordered in all the ports of
the republic, and the feamen are
to be put m reqnilkion. This
letter has not been officially
pubhlhed by die French go
vernment, which fo far from be
ing odematious refpeding the
preparations againft: Biitain,
coiuluCls them with the great
ed fecrecy. 1 he French pa
pcis are nearly hlent on the lub
fCci, and the bed intelligence
we obtain is by the 1 lamburgh
paper, lent to us by a private
correfpondenc at Bruflels. In j
addition to this letter of the I
maritime p ref eft, we find that i
admiral Winter is dridly order- j
dcred to fail the moment the
equinoxial gales drive the Eng-
Lfla fleet from the coaft of Hol
land. He is defired to join the
flotilla, “ the advanced guard,” |
Under admiral Latouche, at Bo- j
logne. If thedvxircumdances I
do not induce minifters to take
every precaution they will bo .
i as cn.umd as tiioic wh ) afi rt, 1
c ‘ the Larm of invafion L all a 1
j miniftcriai humbug.”
On Monday, we nor only j
1 ftated the departure of the j
| guards, and of the duke of |
I York to review the coad, but
t that the ncgociation had ap
i preached an important crifis,
and that fome thing did five in
it was to be immediately done
at Weymouth. Mr. Adding
ton left town for that pLce,
loon after t»hc important confe
| rence at the duke of York’s on
I Friday, at which the rupture of
the ncgociation was not only
ken, but the refolution taken
of increaung our means of de
fence, in cafe of private mfor- i
mation. Mr. Addington re- i
turns this day. What thefteps I
arc, which have been taken in !
rcTped to the treaty, we do not
know ; but it is reported by
well informed perfons, that mi
niders having about a fortnight
ago made certain propofitions to
Buonaparte, in the form of an
ultimatum, with the defign of
pi e fling him to a decifion, and to
bring about an open and regular
treaty, he lias demanded the re
ditution of mod of the colonies
of the allies of Fi ance, as a pre
liminary to a ncgociation. Up
i on this it was on Friday refolved,
j at the conference at York houfe,
to prepare againft invafion, and
to fend Mr. Addington to the
I king with a view of taking
I fome important Hep. Perhaps |
! the ncgociation will be broken I
j off, and Ibmething puylifned |
Immediately ; but it is more in
1 the charader of the prefent rni
, niders to fend couriers to Pa
ris ; and the force may dill be
kept up till nearly the meeting
of parliament, as the denounce
ment will then have a much ;
more ferviceabk efted on the
pi •lie.
'Two mails arrived yedetday,
all that were due from I lam
burgh. With them came Mr.
Vick, with difpatchcs from
Vienna, and a meflenger from
St. Peteriburgh, with the ratifi
cation of the treaty concluded
between this country and Raf
fia. From the foreign journals
we learn, however, that this
treaty is not much liked by
Sweden, and dill lefs by Den
mark. This, it is laid, detains
Duroc at St. Peterfburgh. |
France takes an adive intereft
in the fubjed, and the inter
change of meflengers is very
frequent. The Lmperor of
Ruflia is laid to have detered the |
French from landing troops in
European Turkey. The re
port of Menou having furren
dered is certainly untrue; equal
ly fo is the news of a Tally from
Alexandria, in which the French
loft 700 men. This intelli
gence comes from Malta the
1 11 th of j uly ; now we have ad- |
j vices from Egypt itfelf as late,
1 which take no notice of fo great
1 luccefs as the capture of 700 of
the troops at Alexandria. The
French fold if rs arrived at Mai- !
ta cannot have belonged to
Belliard’s army, no part of
which could have left Egypt lb i
; early as the 1 ith of July, the
day on which thefe troops reach
ed Malta. Two thoufandSwifs
and Condcan troops have ar-
r i vc d Mai-a on thti r way t o |
Egypt, and tnree thoiftand ;
I Enghfh have lately pal fed by
| iiom the We Bern Seas jor the
fame place. Several Bnallvef- 1
ft is Bern to get into Alcxan- I
dna, which by the beft accounts'
may iiold cut a confidcrablc j
time.

Some JanifTaries under a
leader conneded with Paflwan
Oglou, have taken Belgrade,
depofedthc Pacha, and appoint
ed a new one, fuppofed to be
devoted to Paflwan. The au
thority of the Porte in this quar
; ter has received fame rude
knocks, and Palawan threatens it
more and more. We fiould
not be lurprized to fee part of
the Turkilh forces recalled from
! Egypt, to fop the alarming
progrefs of the Pacha ofWid
den.
The capture of Belgrade, the
Bulwark of the Turkifh em
pire in Europe, by a corps of
JanifTaries commanded by offi
cers in the fervice of Pafwan
Oglou, lias produced tire great
eft lenfation in Vienna. Paffwan
Oglou has it now in his power
to threaten the capital .of Tur
key. It is mentioned as a pofi
tive fadd, that the Emperor of
Germany, by virtue of a facred
article In the treaty of Lune
ville, has promifed not to take
any mcafures to flop or hinder
the progrefs of the Pacha of
Widden, as long as the latter
111al 1 continue to oblerve the
law's of good neighbourhood,
and abftain from molefling the
A.uftrian fubjeCls, whether

this city. The chief judge,
Dominick A. Hall, and Judge
Potter w ere prefent. The grand
jury being inipanndled, judge
I T al 1 delivered a very full and
able charge, in which he ex
plained at length the origin and
rati ic of the federal conftitution,
end the ji rifdidicn of the federal
courts, ard paid many high en
comiums cn the excellence of
our free and (quitable govern
ment ; after which, he very ha
th faftorily explained the duty
of a juror, and the nature of the
oath. In conclufion, heexpref
fed his decided difapprobation
of the prelent mode of appoint- j
ing jurors, and hoped the time j
was not far diftant, when jurors,

CHARLESTON, November 3.
Cape. Paine, on his paflarre
• from St. Jago, ten leagues to
windward of the Moro Cadle,
(St. Jago) fpoke the Ichooner
Diana, John MTherlon, madcr,
18 days from Philadelphia, ail
well. Ihe captain informed
that he had been taken by the
Lark (loop of war, and carried
into Cumberland haroour, where
he was detained fevered days,
hoifted great part of
on deck, learched his velfel to
rise kelfon, but finding no con
traband goods on board, per
mitted him to proceed.
A few days previous to the
failing of the Galatea, a brig ar
rived from Jamaica, which had
been lent in for adjudication by
one of his maje fly’s diips, on
lufpicion of the captain being a
Briiifh fubjebl, but was given
j up immediately on his arrival.
Jofiah Blakely, Efq. the A
merican conful, was dill in pri
fon, but as no proof of a fufpi
cious nature was found among
his papers or books, relative to
the charge againd him, it was
ex peeled orders would be re
ceived to liberate him immedi
ately. The confinement of the
American conful was very much
difapproved of at St. Jago, and
tc was ex pc bled he would reco
ver large damages, efpecially if
his government interfered in the
bufined.
