Very unfavorable accounts ~~ have been received hejc by Two Tartars, from Ghezar, Pacha of A ere, fhc Tuikifhcommandcr in chief font againfl Buonaparte, * The French have not only taken * Gaza, in Judea, but alfo Giaffa, . formcily Joppa, nine leagues from Jerufalcm, and 100 Italian miles from St. John d Acre, Their progrefs has been particu larly favored by the mountain eers of Mount Lebanon, who have made an alliance with them, *' and who have always been the avowed enemies of the Turkifh government. Gheza Pacha writes, that he is now between two enemies equally dangerous, * and that he could not leave his Tcfidcnce* being himfelf afraid of an attack. He had Tent ’ 30,000 of his troops againfl the French general, but they had alfo been miferably defeated. He had alfo demanded 10,000 Europeans of the Porte, but no •more than 1000 had been fent him; he therefore earneftly re news his demand of reinforce ments, being afraid to be befieged liimfelf in his own cafllc, by the French and Libanefe. Great •apprehenfrons are eriterta ; ned at Conflantinople, laft Damaf cus, (crufalem, and all Syria, will fall into the hands of the French. On the Ifl of April a fecond fire broke out at Conflantinople; and on the 2d, a third confla gration took place, RASTADT, April 26. The laft note of the French plenipotentiaries on their taking leave, concludes after a flate ment of grievances, with the • following exprtffions: •* Finally, it is in confequence of what has been juft ftated, that the undeifigned inform the de putation of the empire, they will depart from Raftadt in three days ; but defuous to give to Germany a laft and frgnal tefti* mony of the patience and defire of the French government for peace, they declare they fhall retire into the commune of Strasburgh, in order to wait there for the renewal of negotiations, and to attend to the propofitions of peace which may be made to them* “ Bonnier. “ Jean Derby. ** Roberjot." STRASBURGH, April 22. There are continually combats | between our troops and the Auf r Irians; but the latter, though fuperior in numbers, do not gain ground; they are repirlfcd at every attack with confidcrable lofs. Since the day before jef- j terday there has been an affair of conftqucnce. PARIS, April cj.; A po ft mailer of Suabia has been acculcd of being the caufe! of the defeat of the Auflrians! in the Grilon country, and the j captuie of Aftenburgh. Hcj had detained an eftafette fent by j that general requefting immedi ate fuccours. On inveftigating the rcafons of this delay, the poftmaftcr accufed his clerk, | and the clerk reftored it on the maftcr. They were immediately tried, and both hung. We arc informed from Con ftantinople, the 24th Ventofe, that on the 16th, a fleet of tranf ports witn 5000 men on board, under convoy of fevcral Turkifh and Puftian (hips of war, left that place, bound, it was faid,| not to Egypt, but towards the foutherncoaft of Naples. April 29. General Jourdan is appointed infpeftor of the army of Eng land. Buonaparte has taken the city of Acre, the rcfidence of the Pacha, who promifed the Grand Scignor to annihilate our army in Egypt. This news was brought to Toulon by a veffcl which came in 25 days from Alexandria. April 30. A letter from Turin, dated the 20th of April, brings the following intelligence : “ We are allured general Moreau has refurned part of the pofition which he was obliged to abandon in the late engage ments ; that he has made 5000 Auftiian piifoners ; and that gen. Gauthier has alfo on his fide, beaten and rcpulfed the enemy." We havereceived a letter from Bade, dated the 6thinft. in the following terms : Gen. Malfena has had advice by an extraordi nary courier from Italy, that the army under the provifional command of gen. Moreau, has beat the enemy at Pizighitone, and compelled them to repafs the Adige, and to raife the block ade of Mantua. Our army has refurned its former pofition, May 3. A very extraordinary report was fpread this day in the two councils, and is now the fubjeft of every converfation ; we are affured that the telegraph has announced the affaflination of our plenipotentiaries, Bonnier and Roberjot, in a village be tween Raftadr and Strasburgh. jean Derby was the only perfon who efcapcd the fury of the allaffins. The emperor of Ruflia has declared war againfl the city of Hamburgh. It remains to be feen in what light this will be viewed by the king of Pruftia, under whofc protc&ion that city is, and of England herfelf, for whom it is the medium through which ftie draws all the gold of Germany, The fquadron which failed fromßrcft carries 25,000 tioop.% i to be dlftinbarked under the, j orders cf general Kilmaine. It • is compofcd of one fhip cf 120 j guns, th»«e of 110, two of 80, land nineteen of 74, bcfides 9 j frigates and (evcral corvettes, j The crews aic more than com- Iplett, and all the Tailors have received three month* pay in advance.

This morning between 2 and 3 o'clock, a fne broke out (by accident, we underhand) in a (table, fituated in Callowhill fhect, between Front & Second (beets, which, notwithftanding the activity of the citizens, ra pidly communicated to the ad jacent buildings. The flames extended in an caderly dire&ion down Callowhill (beet, and in two hours entirely dcflroyed fe ventcen buildings, three of which were handfome three (lory brick houfes, lately finifhed. A (lore houle containing fcvcral hundred barrels of tar, pitch and turpen tine, added gicatly to the fury of the devouring element. We are happy to add, that notwith llanding the numerous dangers to which many individuals were expoied, no lives were loft. The damage of properly is edimated at about 25,000 dollars. Several valuable horfes and a cow were enveloped in the flames.
