It is raid to be General Moreau's inten
tion to call a meeting of the Committee of
the States of Wirtemberg, at his head
quarters. According to the treaties between
Wirtemberg and France, on the 17th ot
July and 7th of August 1 ~g6, the sum of
four millions of livres was to have been
paid to France, but as scarcely one fourth
ot it has been paid, the French General will
enforce payment of the arrears. He also
demands that the troops of Wirtemberg be
immediately recalled from the Imperial
army.

Mr. Wickham has taken the oath of fi
delity from the corps of Conde to the Crown
of England, *t Saltfburg, where the Prince
had arrived on the isth inftatit. In the
Imperial hospital at Wils Biburg, in Bava
ria, there are upwards of 30® wounded
officers.
Carnot in an address to the Prefefts and
the Generals of the different departments of
France, so far from confldering peace as
certain, exhorts them to prepare for a new
(tene of warfare, and arcelerate •he depar
ture of the second class of conlcripts, " in
order to make a last and " terrible irrup
tion into the enemy'* territory.' 1 liis
however, weie it unconnefVd with any other
circumstances, might be coifidered as little
more than a bo&ftful expedient of intimida
tion ; and, indeed, the M'nifter at War
admits, in a prr-at measure, that such is a&u
ally his obje<3 t He fiys, that wh'le France
continues to present herfelf to foreign pow
er» in this commanding pollure of corcen
trated and vi&orious force, they will not be
induced to" reject that peace that is again
offered to them, and which their reveries
"have not rendeted more severe." Ihe
terms now offered not being more severe
than those proposed by Buonaparte pievious
to the late fuccefles of the Republican arms,
Carnot very artfully describes them as a
| frelh proof of moderation 011 the part of the
j conquerors ; and expressly dates, that if th y
ar.- refilled," it will be. neceflary to make
a final effort, and todiftatc the peace which
tliey n >w (•ffer."
Of inilitaiy intelligence the lad Paris
papers contain but little that is important, I
excepting some accounts from
Strafburgh and other places, which ttate
that the\army of Moreau continues to ad
vance ; that General Kray has quitted his
formidable polition at Ingoldff.dt. and is
retreating towards Landfliut, oti the river
Ifer, whither the feat of war is about to he
wholly removed from the Danube, in orJer
the more securely to cover the Austrian
frontiers ; that the French division comman
ded by Lecourbe, has marched agaiifl Rati
(bin ; that the en-my hive taker, posT (Tion
of the Biftmpric F,<hff dt,enter d theUiper
Palatinate, aud foretd the c« p* of general
Si anv to retreat to Langenfi ld j that ge
neral St. Sui 'nne was to set cut on the gth
from the Rhine, with his army, to attack
the Imperialifta on tbe M'ine. and to pro
ceed from thence through Franconia to co
operate with Moreait ; that a large quantity
of ammunition, and 5000 mufquets. were
found by the enemy in Munich ; that in
the affair of the 17th, at N#uboi>rg, the
French made 6 00 prisoners ; and in short,
that every thing continue* to go on in favor
of the enemy. It it expedted that they will
make 3 speedy effort to poflef* themfelve*
of the Tyrol and the Grifon*. the possession
of which would enable them to efFc£t an im

Italy and the Rhine.
From Italy there is particular new*. Maf

ExtraS of a letter from the /mtrican Consul
in London, deceived by the Argo, arrived
a; Bofion.
11 A number of neutral vsflels bound to
and from Cadiz have been captured by Bri
tifli cruisers and sent in for adjudication.—
One was boarded by a King's fliip and fuf
fered to proceed—then by a privateer and
warned not to go into Cadiz. In attempt
ing afterwards to get in. (lie was detained
by another privateer for adjudication.—
The King's advocate being desired to give
an opinion thereon, gave the following :
« The port of Cadii has not (so far as I
am inform-d) been notified by our jrovern- 1
ment to foreign powera to be in a (late of
blockade. American vcfftls, therefore, at
temptirg'to enter that port, will not be con
fifcable, unless they (hall have been previous
ly warned not to proceed th'ther, and the
port be at the time aSual/y blockaded. I know
no inltance in which ttie question has arisen,
whether warning by a privateer, is a fuffici
er.t prohib tion not to proceed. But I in.
cline to think, that, as the vefTil, after such
a notice, would knowingly attempt to enter,
the penalty would be incurred. If, how
ever, the vefiel, from having been just ex
amined hya King's (hip, had reason to doubt
the truth and authority of the warning from
the privateer, she might poffibiy be war
ranted in proceeding towards the port in or
der to erquire more accurately into the faft
the blockade. Upon this point the quef
lion is so far new and doubtful that I think
t hs captor would be juftificd in submitting
jt to decifioo of a competent tribunal.

Extract of a leilcr from a gentleman at FtlPs
Point, to hit find in this,city, dated,
Septembe2, 1800.
On Saturday I buried a yourg man who
has lived with me between two and three
years ; -on Sunday my wife was fafely de
livered of a daughter, and I hope and trud
will do well ; on Monday I buried my eU
dell daughter, and this day my only foil ;
the woman we had to attend my wife ha»
been sick for ten or twelve dayg ; my ne*&
door neighbour's tfife, her mother and four
children, are down with th« fever, and no
perfen to do any thing for them but him
felf, and he hasjuft got np out of a severe
attack of the fever ; above half of the peo
ple have moved to the country ; yesterday
and the day before the do&ort all left ihi»
place, they have been very unfuccefsful in
this fever ; there are one or two French
doftori remain, and are said to have been
of service to some that our doftur» had
given over. I never experienced such dif»
tress in my life before.
Perhaps no past period in the hiffory of
this country, has teemed with such a multi
tude of medical mountebanks, as the pres
ent. The venders of patent medicines in
aim oft every capital town in the United
States are battening on the weakness and
folly of a deluded public. The regularly
b cd physician adminjfteri, in v in, with the
(kill ot Galen, his salutary potion* While
one empiric can be found, mankind in gen
eral will encourage him. Foreigners who
fee this growing pafiion for patent physic,
leave their homes to try a foil where weeds
of this kind flourilh with liberal luxuriance.
England has loft many of her chief charla
tans, and quacks transplant themselves into
our country from Italy, Even Turkey is
not ignorant of the great encouragement
which America extends to those who are
solicitous for the health of her citizens. In
Baltimore, Ibrahim Adam Ben Ali, physi
cian fiom Constantinople, or more probably
some crafty native, who has affumcd a Turk»

indiscriminately applies them ia various and

latter part of his advertisement appears to

A very curiously worded, illiterate adver
::fement is published n a paper,printed at the

that though it be a {.iace of Jiulis they do
abound with brains.
For tbe Gazette of tbe United States.
IT is no difficult thing to account for
the celebrity ai d the extr»fi»e circulation
of " the Aurora," when we take into view
the following peculiarities, which di(lingui(h
it from all other newspapers. First, its ori
gin and operation for several years, un.'er
the fuperintendance of a grandson of Ben
jamin Franklin. Secondly, its publication
at Philadelphia, the capital of the United
States and hitherto the Teat of Govern
ment. Thirdly, th?t it is the official gov
ernmental paper of the French Republic,
and the only authority to which the British
government appeal for tbe truth of fafls re
lating to this country. Fourthly, that the
wri'.ers in it are chiefly foreign defperadoe#
who came or were sent here to write down
the government. Fifthly and lastly, that
its prtfetit Editor i; a British fubjed. Each
of these are powerful operative causes of
\ the success of " the Aurora" at home and
abroad.
The charge so often made against " the
Gazette of the United States'' that it is de
voteJ to the British, is only a trick of Du
ane, to (hist the burden off hit own (houl
ders. The Gazet eof the United Slates is
co-eval with the Federal Government ; it
has always been edited by a native AmciU
can, by birth. It was never supplied with
materials for its support by foreigners,
nor was it ever pensioned by a foreign
power. It has been for many years the
official paper of the Federal Go.
vernment, for publilhing the laws, See.
but it is not recolie&ed, that the French
or tbe Britifli government ever honoured it
with an appeal to it, as such. Its present
proprietor and editor is a warm, sincere and
undisguised friend to the constitution, the
laws and the government of his country.—
By these tcftimonials he is willing to be
judged, nor does 1 e fear, with those pre
ten! ons to the public patronage, to meet
the redoubtable knight, the Uriiifli fubjefl,
the Editor of the Aurora, William Doane.
He is not in league w ih " the enemies" of
