Verbal accounts from France, by
the Matilda, arrived at this port,
reprefent the preparations of Bona
parte for the northern cnterprize as
of the moft formidable and extra
ordinary nature. Upwards of 600,
coo men had already left the con
c|i. s°f France, and his body guard,
confiding of 30,000 Fol lh troops’,
national guard of 100,000
were fhorcly to accompany him in
’ perfon to take the head of this in>
menit body. It was believed, herv
•evrr, that his purpofe would beef
, fedled, without the neceflity of a
baaie ; and the belief was 2lmcft
reduced to a certain, from the
circumilante of Talleyrand, that
able a.ud arch politician, having lafc
France for the court of* Sr. Peterf
burgh. Gen. Ar.dreoffi had alfo
been c’ifparchcd to Conftantinopie.

without a ft niggle, would ba con
ftrafned to acquitfee in whatever

emperor.
In France, the affairs of Spain
were fcldom fpoken of. Many of
the beft troop* of France had been
drawn from that quarter, to co-ope
ratc in the northern defign.

“ I w^otcyou by Mr. Greenup, on
the 2,oth uli. referring you to my fit

to you what has trafpired jincc
Two enprfifes have juji arrived here
—the purport rf one we under ft and to
be, that the Indians have been com
mitting tome depredations at Ft. Har
rifiiu, it is find about 100 cf them
have driven away the beeves at that
place—-the Governor has, however,
jince informed me, the JUtement is er
roneous as to driving off ibe beeves.-
We now wifij the help of the Score
county Voluritecrtj with them, and
the force tb at is here (not wiilfi an Tag
the Sfih regiment's a fence) think
we would be able, ready and willing,
to try the iffue if a brittle. I believe
we Jhall try it without the Scott com
pany.
<c But I know of r.e plan by which
we can hope to fucceed, except it is by
quick marches end bard fighting—for
we are informed the Indians are en
camped in bodies of 5 or 700 men in
a camp, within 18 hours march of
this place, ft is juppofed they -will
coins by waferi to prevent their tak-
hg us in that way by furprife, a cat

return their grateful thanks to thoFj
cf their fubfciibers who have been
pun<fcuai in difeharging their Jmall
dues, would be doing injuflice to
thofe iubferibers, and to thaoflfeives,
were they- to omit noticing defaul

each fubferiher, would nor, we
fordly nope, fir je£i him to any in

in the aggregate, would be of ejfenii

ble them, in tneir turn, to meet
preffing demands which are againff:
them. For our Paper Sc Ink, wc ars
ob ; grd ro advance the CASH—-in
fact, they cannot be gotten without.
We truft, therefore, that we ffiill
nor fubjedf ourfelrrs to the impu
tation of being tight on our Debt

men who live at a defiance, and will

ment, are informed,
that their accounts will be made out
on or before tftat time—when we
anticipate the pfiafure ef receipting

In the preiem ficustion of our
country, it is eflential that the Peo
ple fir au and be put in pcfff-fuoa of
the carlieft and mo ft correct infor
mation, boch with icfpect to our Fo

accomplish t hiS definable end, ffiall
be the conffant .u:d ardent endeavor
of the Editors—and in fo far as we
are fucrefsful, wc hope for the con
tinued patronage of a generous pub -
lic. When our endeavors to ad
vance the beff interests of the Re
public fhall ceafe, then we final! ndt
expedt to receive, neither fhall we
crave , (as we ffieuld deem our'elves
uucieferving) the patronage of free
men. Ir may, perhapr, be urged
by bme, that we are too violent in
form of our ff: riff ores, and too par
tiff i fome of our feledlions. If
there fhoeld be any fuch, however
fmall the number, to them wc would
cbferve, that wc fin ill r.oq fo long

we are difeharging s heunden duty

iota in the afperity of our remarks;
neither do we think ou;'elves under
any obligations to adroit into our
columns, fenumeots which have a
tendency to divide the Republican
ranks, when they ought to be unit
ed—to weaken the cor.fifence of the
people in the adminiftra:ior rf the
general government, when it foouid
be ftrcngther.cd—to aid our enemy,
when it s our duty to ckffroy her.
We are determined to fupport our
own government by every fair end
honorable means in our power, and
in Jo doing, ffiall be confident
that we are obeying the f.ffeirm in
