ExtraS of an Address from a candidate for the office n
of Eledor of Pre/idcnt and Vice-Pr-ejident of the c
United States, published in the Alexandria paper.
0»e of the charges against Mr. JefFeifsn, to ;;
which my former address alludes, is, that at a meet-
ing of Mr. Butr, 'of New-York, a man of confi- „
, detable talenjs, and one who has been as violent an t |
oppofer to the present government and its admini- p
ftration as any in America, with several gentlemen j
of this (late equally violent in their politics, at M» a
Jefferfon's hout'e, in October last, the rath and vio- j,
lent measures brought forward irt the lait feffioo of p
congress, which nvft df us th*n thought, and 1
(till think, would have led this country into a war j
with Britain, were planned and approved of by
Mr. Jefferfon ; who, it is said, wrote to the differ- y
cnt southern members, urging them to persevere in g
the line of coodud there agreed. In proof oi this, „
it is also said, a letter of hi 3 will bi (hown: and j
(hould these things be made appear, I cannot hefi- t ]
*ate to declare, that I will not vote for him. w
Wjth refpeS t« Mr. Adams, whose conduct ha 3 a
(hewn that he is a friend to the present government, j,
it has bean the policy of those unfriendly to it to t ]
charge him with auti republican principles, and an f,
attachment to monarchy ; and have qHoted a book
called Adams's Defence, to prove that he poffefifes f (
such sentiments. 1 have read that book with at- |,
tention, and find nothing in it to jufttfy that charge. k
It bteathes, throughout the whole, as far as I am
capable of judging, the purest lepublican princt- c ,
pies. " £
But greatly to be lamented, and to t-he diigrace CJ
of this country, it is said two panics are formed in a
it, one in favour of the French, and the other the' vi
Britifli. I detest them both, and think it may be p
well feared, that with these party principles in our f t
rulers, we may become a prey to one o»the other. _
We are told, that Mr. Ames, when he wa9 in this p
country, said, that the people of New-England t <
looked on Mr. Adams as a man attached to the t j
British pprty, and that in his opinion they would
vote for Mr. Henry as President in prefeieuce 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 wi(h is, that we may fix upcD such di
characters as will give their whole attention to the d
interest of their own country, leaving foreign na
tions to a& for themfelvls in the fame manner, if -
they chufe to do so.—And it is for this reason that
1 do at present feel disposed to vote for Mr. Henry
aad Mr. Pinekney, as President and Vice Prefi
| dent. If these geßtlemen (ho.uld not be candidates,
[ and either Mr. Jefferfoa or Mr. Adams mud be &
, President, it would become the duty of your Elcc- t<
tors to vote for the one*who, from.the best in for- "
matioß, may be least exceptionable. G

Died on Tuesday morning, of a painful illoefs,
1 which had continued several weeks, Mrs. Hannah
Sproat Keith, the amiable confott of the r<».-erend
do£tor Keith, of this city, and daughter of the f.'
late revei end doctor James Sproat, of Philadelphia, v '
1 who, with a great part of his family, fell vidtims J,
to the yellow fever in the jear 1793. /«
This truly excellent lady, in addition to a good P
undemanding aad the moral and social virtues
which adorned her character, was cminentljftpliftin- "
, guifhed by her genuine and vital piety.
Long had (he felt the force of that great truth, a
to glorify God is the most desirable end of human f!
life. This principle had* so fully taken poflef
fion of her heart, that for several of her last yeais,
(he appeared to aft continually under its governing
; influence": aßd while (he exemplified true religion
is its excellency and importance, in her own tem-
I per and conduct, (he did not fail to to improve eve
ry favourable opportunity for recommending it to
others, -in a kind, engaging manner, by her con- J'
verfation ; the influence of which, there is jult rea
son to believe, will be felt by many, and especially
by the younger part or her friends, through the re
mainder of their lives.
In these pious a6ts of friendftiip (he found de
lightful employment while on earth ; but the knew
that "to depart and be with Christ, was far bet
ter."
Her remains, accompanied by a very numerous
train of refpedtable and weeping friends, weie con

Some members of the national aflcir.bly having e

" Citizens, ,
e " I read in the public papers, the ridiculous de ti
f claration of fomedeputies refpetting the motives for c
, defertiou in the Batavian troops, ascribing it to
• their being placed in tlve firft line, when they (hould
3 be in the feeond, &c. q
" When the Batavian convention placed under
- my command the army of the republic, it imposed
e on me no conditions about placing it in the firft or o
y fecoid liue ; and this mark of its extreme coufi
£ dence has imprefled me with gratitude. In return a
a for that confidence, and for yours also, citizens I
1, am eager to inform you, that the delcrtion has 'no
5 other source than the scarcity of provisions and neb
ceflaries—fo feasty anddear, that they wha are paid t
d in money, cannat procure them in their canton- c
. menu. To feed your soldiers, is the true means "of t
0 preventing desertion ; and you need look for Do t
e other. t
" It mud also be ob(erved, that your regiments d
did not make war to support your revolution ; and \
e possibly there may be individuals amougft thera p
who do not like it: far, therefore, from blaming c
thsir emigration, I afn ex> cdiogly plejfcd to find
none rem in-but the true patriots, whose ardor and
coinage can alone support it.
* '• Would it not be equally extravagant and im
politic on my part, to place behind me in the feconci
0 line troops, in whom I can have no confidence ? c
;■ And (hould the enemy appear before me, would it c
'* not be putting myfeif between two lires, in Caie
n they (hoald have an understanding with t!ie fuf
'* peiied individuals that may be amongst your troops?
n 1 repeat it—this emigration is, perhaps, salutary ;
* and 1 would rather give battle with a handtul of j
brave men, than with a large army ccmpofed of
poltroons and counter-revolutionists.
1 <> p eet J your troops and they will be in good con- r
lr dition j pay them well, and you will retain the
Y brave ; but as to the scoundrels or cowards, I tell j
r you once more, you (hould not interrupt them.
" Such is my opinion, which I pray you to commu
- 3» uicate to the national aflembly, that it may nst be
diverted from more serious considerations —Such is
the answer I \yould give to those deputies who
would place in the second line those brave Balavi
-13 ans, who, true to their colours, desire only to com
bat in the cause of liberty, and rival the glo'y of
0 the Frensh, who have alt along so gallantly de
n fended it.
•" The committee of union uiuft have already
5 seen by the nature of my dispositions that I know
'• how to do juftite to the Batavian soldiers, and
kHow how to estimate military talents.
P " For a manth, lieutenant-general Dumoreeau
'• commanded the three divisions of the line ; and for
eight days lieutenant-genersj Daendals has fuc
e cteded him. At thi9 moment, three battalions
n „ aad four Batavian squadrons are moving to join the
8 vjnguard of the French, Rationed between Nime
e guen and Duffeldorf, to cover he la(V place, and.

LONDON, Monday Aug. 22.
Ofl Saturday the Paris papers of. the 15th and
16rh instant, were received after our paper was at
pref* They contain the official accounts of the
■ late successes of the French in Italy, of which we
had before only the fubltance in an official nveffagc
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 •
ifteufe.
This morning we received the Paris Journals of
the 17th, 18th and 19th in ft. They contain a let
ter from General Buorfaparte, which our readers
5 will fisd in its proper place* giving an account of
the raising of the siege of Pefchiera, and the re
capture of Verona by the French troops
to which the Auftriaus made a last ineffectual ef
fort to retrieve their,afftirs. 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 ,but they arc of dates anterior to those which we
■ have given in the preceding nolurans 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 tefs impor
tance, that we may reserve room for the contents
ef the
j HAMBURGH MAIL,
Which arrived this morning—The accounts itfhieh
it brings refpc&ing the operations-os the war is
Germany, are. not of a later date than those from
the French papers. They contain, however, some
' 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 adjultmeiit of the greater
iutereft ; 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 necessary 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®
follow—
e FRANKFORT, August.6.
Well informed persons pofuively state that ne
* gociations far an armistice are on foot. Accord
j ing to them the fortreifes ot 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*
! vened by the emperor, jointly with the French re
public. All the powers which have taken a part
in the coalition are to fetid thither deputies ; and
after the treaty between the two furrpcr powers is
concluded, the difference between the others are
be arranged, and the lait 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 be
louging to the bishopric and bishop of Liege, as
well as the piate of several of the rich abbeys of
thi Netherlands.
""1 he king of France-wag on his way to seek a
refuge at Dresden; but he was met at Amberg by
a courier, who announctd to him that circum
itances required him to take another route.- His
maj'efty in consequence formed the resolution to re
pair to Piague, to proceed from thence to Rullia. '
1 he ele£tor of 1 reves is at Dresden, whither it is
e said the eleflor of' Bavaria is also to repair.
Phiiipfbourg is violently cannonaded ; and.Man
