ExtrjS of an Address from a candidate for the office
of Eledor of Prefdent and Vite-Prejtdent of the cc
United States, publipsed in the Alexandria paper.
0»e of the charges against Mr. Jeffeifen, to j;,
which ray former address alludes,, is, that at a meet-
ing of Mr. Butr, 'of New-York, a man of confi- n(
. derable talenjs, and one who has been as violent an t j.
oppofer to the present government and its adnaini- p (
ftration as any in America, with several gentlemen j
of this (late equally violent in their politics, at M» g[
Jefferfon's hout'e, in October last, the rash and vio
lent measures brought forward irt the last feffioo of p (
congress, which m<*ft df us then thought, and 1
(till think, would hare led this country into a war jj
with Britain, were planned and approved of by
Mr. Jefferfon ; who, it is said, wrote to the differ- y (
ent southern members, urging them to persevere in g
the line of condud there agreed. In proof oi this, ~j
r it is also said, a letter of hi 3 will bi shown: and
should these things be made appear, I cannot hefi- ti
*ate to declare, that I will not vote for him. w
Wjth refpeft t« Mr. Adams, whose conduct ha 3 ar
(hewn that he is a friend to the present government, b:
> it has been the policy of those unfriendly to it to
charge him with ant I republican principles, and an f e
attachment to monarchy ; and have qHoted a book
called Adams's Defence, to prove that he poffeßes f e
such sentiments. 1 have read that book with at- |„
tention, and find nothing in it to juftify that charge, ki
It bieathes, throughout the whole, as far as I am
capable of judging, the purcft lepublican princt- cc
pies. " ei
But greatly to be lamented, and to t-he diigrace d
of this country, it is said two paities are formed in ao
it, one in favour of the French, and the other the' va
British. I deteß them both, and think it may be
well feared, that with these party principles iu our f u
rulers, we may became a prey to one oifcthe other. _
We are told, that Mr. Ames, when he was in this p,
country, said, that the people of New-England te
looked on Mr. Adams as a man attached t* the t j,
British party, and that in his opinion they would
vote for Mr. Henry as President in preference to
Mr. Ames and the people there know
Mr. Adams better than we do ; and if he made
• such a declaration, 1 (hould think it contlufive evi
dence. My wish is, that we may fix upcD such d<
chara&ers as will give their whole attention to the «Ji
interest of their own country, leaving foreign na
j tion6 to a& for thcmfelvls in the fame manner, if —
r they chufe ta do so.—And it is for this reason that
f Ido at present feel disposed to vote for Mr. Henry
and Mr. Pinekney, as President and Vice Presi
dent. If these gentlemen should not be candidates,
and either Mr. Jefferfoa or Mr. Adams mud be
President, it would become the duty of your Elcc- ta
tors to vote for the one*who, from,the best infor- ~
mation, may be least exceptionable. G

CHARLESTON, 16. at
Died an Tuesday morning, of a painful illness,
which had continued several weeks, Mrs, Hannah
Sproat Keith, the amiable confott of the n».-erend
doAor Keith, of this city, and daughter of the [5
late reveiend do&or James Sproat, of Philadelphia, v "
who, with a great part of his family, fell vidlims k.
to the yellow fever in the jear 1793. /«
j This truly excellent lady, in addition to a good P'
i underftar.ding aod the moral and social virtues
• which adorned her character, was eminentljftdiftin- "
, gui(hed by her genuine and vital piety.
, Long had the felt the force of that great truth, a
' to glorify God is the most desirable end of human f£
life. This principle hath so fully taken posses
sion of her heart, that for several of her last yeais,
she appeared to a& continually under its governing
e influence': and while (he exemplified true religion
' is its excellency and importance, in her own tem
■' per and conduct, she did not fail to to improve eve
ry favourable opportunity for recommending it to
others, .in a kind, engaging manner, by her con-
verfation ; the influence of which, there is jull rea
son to believe, will be felt by many, and especially
by the younger part of her friends, through the re
mainder of their lives.
In these pious a&s of friendship (lie found de
- lightful employment while on earth ; but the knew
5 that "to depart and be with Christ, was far bet
- ter."
Her remains, accompanied by a very numerous
y train of refpeftable and weeping friends, weie con

i " Citizens, , tJ
:e " I read in the public papers, the ridiculous de tl
,f claration of fomedeputies refpetting the motives for ci
c, desertion in the Batavian troops, ascribing it ti»
lheir being placed in tlve fiift line, when they (hould '
n be in the second, &c. q
" When the Batavien convention placed under
f- my command the army of the republic, it imposed
le on me no conditions about placieg it in the firrt or o!
y second line ; and this mark of its extreme confi-
y t dence has impressed me with gratitude. In return a
■ 0 for that confidence, and for yosra also, citizens I
s, am eager to inform you, tliat the delcrtion has 'no
:s other source than the scarcity of provisions and neb
ceflai ies—fo scanty and dear, that they who are paid tl
;d in moneycaraat procure them in their canton, ci
!- menu. To feed your foldicrs, it the true means "of tl
e preventing desertion ; and you need look for Do t<
other. t j
t "It mud a!fo be observed, that your regiments d
did not make war to support your revolution ; and V
ie possibly there may be individuals amougft them p
who do not like it: far, therefore, from blaming ci
■ thsir emigration, lam cx> cdiug!/ to^fir>d
r none rem inijut the true patriots, whose ardor and
,i coinage can alone support it.
" Would it not be equally extravagant and tm
politic on my part, to place behind me in the second
t0 line troops, in whom I can have no confidence ? <
:t " And should the enemy appear before me, would it <
f'" not be putting myfelf between two fires, in cafe
a . n they (houlf) have an understanding with the fuf
individuals that may be amongst your troops?
en 1 repeat it—this emigration is, perhaps salutary ;
?• and 1 would rather give battle with a handful of J
10 * brave men, than with a large army composed of (
poltroons and counter-revolutioni.ls.
1 <1 your troops and they will be in good con- r
,ar dition ; pay them well, and you will retain the
ky brave ; but as to the scoundrels or cowards, I tell j
cr you once more, you should not interrupt them.
Such is my opinion, which I pray you to commu
's» uicate to the national assembly, that it may nat be
diverted from more serious considerations —Such is
the answer 1 \}'D'jld give to those deputies who
would place in the second line those brave Balavi
-183 ans, who, true to their colours, desire only to com
bat in the cause of liberty, and rival the gb'y of
10 the Frensh, who have all along so gallantly de
an fended it.
ok .« Xhe committee of union tnuft have already
s een by the nature of my dispositions that 1 know
"• how to do juftite to the Batavian soldiers, and
! c> know how to estimate military talents.
" For a manth, lieutenant-general Dumoreeau
ci * commanded the three divisions of the line ; and for
eight days lieutenant-genemj Daendals has fuc
cc cteded him. At this moment, three battalions
,n , aod four Bataviao squadrons are moving to join the

LONDON, Monday Aug. 22.
> On Saturday the Paris papers of. the 15th and
' i6rh instant, were received after our paper was at
1 pref* They contain the official accounts of the
c late successes of the French in Italy, of which we
had before only the fubltance in an official meflagc
fen by the directory to the council of five-hundre 1.
They contain besides, some fiffi-ial details refpei. 1 -
ting the operations ol the array of the Sambre and •

This morning we received the Paris Journals of
the 17th, 18th and 19th in ft. They contain a It-t
---" ter from General Buorfaparte, which our readers
5 will fiad in its proper phce* giving an account of
the raising of the siege of Pefchiera, and the re
capture of Verona by the French troops
to which the Auftrians made a last ineffectual ef
fort to retrieve their,affairs. The wretched remains
of the Imperial troops, have taken refuge in Ty
rol. The Paris Journals also contain some official
letters ftom the army of the Sambre and Meufe,
I they arc of dates anterior to those which we
■ have given in the preceding uolumns from the Pa.
ri» papers Which reached uj 011 Saturday, and affyrd
only details of operations, the result of which is al
ready known : .we therefore pultpone until to-mor
row, these and some other articles of lef? impor
tance, that we may reserve room for the contents
®f the
j HAMBURGH MAIL,
Which arrived this morning—The accounts which
it brings rcfpc&ing the operations-os the war is
Germany, are. not of a later date than those from
the French papers. They contain, however, forr.e
' important particulars not before known. The ac
counts from Italy are only details of the fliort
lived advantages which general Wurmfer had gain
-1 ed before the tide of victory had again turned in
favbur of the French, and enabled them to gain
those successes which have been detailed at inch,
length by Buonaparte in his dispatches to the di
rectory. These we lhall lay before our readers to
morrow.
! The political state of Germany seems fact halting
to that crisis which we'have more than once called
to the attention of our readefs. The little states
and free cities are now only talked of as make
weights in the general adjultmeut of the greater
interest ; rtrd it is n»t impoffibL*, will be coniidered
"as divisible spoil, and treated like wretched Poland,
j —But all this i 3 perhaps as neceflary as the war it«
felf was to prevent thefpread of revolutionary prin
ciples, to maintain regular government, and to se
cure individual property !
. We (hall offer no further comment on the con
tents of the mail, but lay the principal articles which
have reached us before our readers. They are a®

Well informed persons pofuively state that ne

j '"8 t0 'hem the fort relics of Mentz and Ehren
breitftein ate to be abandoned to the French ; and
the republican troops arc to retreat to a certain
r line of demarkation, to the end, that they may
3 not interrupt the operations of the congress, which
is to meet at Hair.au. „ This congress is to be coo*
! vencd by the emperor, jointly with the French re
public. All the powers which have taken a part
in the coalition are to fend thither deputies ; and
after the treaty between the two furrper powers is
concluded, the difference between the others are
be arranged, and the lalt hand put to a general
peace.
Among the effe&s lately seized by' the French
between Wurtzbourg and Oemunden, was the c—
i quipage of the imperial envoy, count de Shlick ;
together with all the public and piivate plate bc
