    ITALY,
f.t'ilier tlnn the greatest military prepsrlti-,
ot|S are still on foot on both fides. Buona
parte, who takes hi? aims from afar, and 13
subtle and profound in his. views, and in his
rcfources mol fertile and various, appears
to have had a design to amuse the enemy
by making a (hew of a wilh on his part and
an expedition of peace, while he seemed
anxious above all things to fettle his new
republics. The Emperor was not iitdeed
lulled into security ; but it will be difficult
to escape some snare that lies hid under the
open proceedings of the Italian, and not an
adventurer from another country. Two
circumftances,relativeto the probabledefighs
of Buonaparte, have lately drawn universal
attention. He humours, flatters, and courts
the
OTTOMAN COURT,
and he shews an intention of taking under
his prot'eftion the cause of the Polish na
tion. This is certainly placing France in the
Situation she was wont to fold in the chain
of. political powers ; the ally of the Turks,
and the Poles, united with the Turks in
hoftilit.y to Austria and Ruflia. But the
KING OF PRUSSIA,
is the tyrant of Poland, is the ally of France.
How is this majter to be arranged ? His
Pruflian Majesty is sick, and according to
all accounts, drawing near his end.
THE DUTCH SAILORS,
have lately, given a proof of their attach
ment to the Stadtholder in refuting to
weigh anchor and fail out of the harbour
under Admiral Winter. The cause of the
S-adtholder does not by any means appear
to 11s. to be desperate ; though it is better
to give way for a time, and wait far favor
able opportunities, thau to attempt any
fchemts for restoration by fafce of arms.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 16.
In the fair of this city, many French emi
grants of diftinclion kept (hops ; their com
modities were for the mod part, the produce
of their own industry.
ITALY, September 28.
The French have set up a printing press
on the island of Corfu.
At Genoa the ex-patrician Spinola, who
has been envoy at Paris and London, as also
Rivarola, who has been envoy in the latter
city, have been declared emigrants, arid
their effefts confiscated. The fame has
heen deereed at Venice against Morofini,
Jate infpeftor generalof the Venetian troops;
he has also been burned in effigy.
The famous Dondolo, an apothecary, it
gone to general Buonaparte at Udina, to
make some new proposition relative to Ve
nice.
The Neapolitan prince Paterno, who fail
ed from Sicily to Naples, in a (hip which
had above 200,000 ducats on board, in jew
els and valuable commodities, hat been taken
by a Tunisian corsair, and carried into
Tunis. The Neapolitan eonrt has dispatch
ed a courier to Constantinople on the oc
casion, and the Spanish envoy at Tunit has
taken the prince under his protection as a
grandee of Sp&in.
The pestilential distemper that prevails in
Corsica was brought by a Turkish ship that
was stranded on the island. Some of- the
people of the coast ran to pick up the goods
fromthe wreck, though the Turkscalled to
them that the plague was on board ; this,
however, did not restrain them, and the con
sequence was that joo persons died > n the
town of Murgo. A drift cordon is now
drawn xound theinfefted country.
MILA.N, September 9.
Though the German papers have dated that the
Imperial troops occupy the whole of Venetian Dal
mafia, it is certain that the nature of the cour.try,
anrtrhe of the inhabitants, oppose great
ohftacles to that invasion ; and admitting even the
supposition of peace, the pofleffion of th« Auftri
ans will net remain long tranquil It cannot be
difiembied, th.it the new acquisitions of the house
„f ~a imift be of the greatest importance to
its commerce and its revenue ; and the inttreft
which it has in preserving them, and ittfuring their
peaceable enjoyment, inclines u« to believe that! the
Ifmperor would not eipofe himfelf to the chances
of war, which cantlot but be disastrous to him.
The population of Iftria amounts at present to
no more than 140,0.: O ; but, under a good eov
ernmeni, it would soon increafeto half a million.
This province ha* about a dozen of potts, several
of which are much superior to that of Tried. The
ports of Rofla, Queto, and Pola, are capable of
containing the most considerable fleets, and the
fpil-jof the country is fufevptible of every species
of cultivation. The wines ai;d the oils of Iftria
have a great reputation.
VenetianDalmatia containsabout 3 o,o^oinha
bitants. Rara, SeVienifco, Spolatra, and Macarfea,
are the chief points of communication with Euro
pean Turkey, which supplies Dalmatia with pitch,
wax and wheat.
We have read with much plcafure the report
made by the committee of publicfafety to the pro
visional municipality of Venice, on the political
and commercial iituition of Venice, and which is
addrefled.to the Gifalpine republic, and to all the
French people of Italy—This report contains a
statement of the public debt, and the resources of
Venice ; presents a beautiful perfpe&ive of its ma
ritime power ; and finally demonstrates, under ev
ery relation, the utility of an union with the Cis
alpine republic.
General Buonaparte hai presented .100 mufquets
to the Venetian national guard. Venice, after the
example of Brescia, is about to form a regiment
r.f youths between twelve and fifteen years of age,
who, thus exercised during their infancy in the
pr»fcffion of ;rsrs, will acquire a taste for it, and
form a nursery of warriors disciplined, and capa
ble of being employed every where.
Tire French have reqeired of this country eight
millions of livres for the support of their army,
which sum wil! for the most part be levied on the
capitaiifts and the clergy. Our republic has raort
traced togesr al Buonaparte yearly half the Duchy
of Slantu-I, lying on the right tanks of the riv
ers Oglio and Po a part of Brcfcia, and some
valleys bordering on the 1 yr®l. The -city and ior
trefj of Mantua is not, however, included.

BOSTON, December 2.
THE UNIVERSITY AT CAMBRIDGE,
Says a correspondent, is in a more fiourifh
ingifituation than at any period since its ex
ifience. The visiting committee from the |
board ofoverfeers hasfora considerable time
past exprefled their warm approbation of the
state of things in this important seminary.
It must be pleasing to the parents and friends
of these young gentlemen to hear that there
has not been a public censure passed on any
scholar for more than four years, con fequent
ly on none that is now in college.—lt is a
fadv that many of these young men have du
ring the pad feafon,-beenjfy£ and tlx hours
in a day, either hear rig lectures from the
different profeffors, or vaptipg to their Tu
tors. There never was a period when there
existed a greater hafmouy between the gov
ernors and governed, between the teacher
and pupil. It is also a faft, which the whole
town of Cambridge can ttftify, that since
the bridges have been built over Charles-Ri
ver, there has been less noise and riot after
fun set about college, than ever was known
before. Tfie increased and still increasing
number of leftures seem to have opened new
profpcfts to these Undents, and to occupy
their minds so agreeably as to leave little
inclination for riot and disorder. It may be
said with tTuth,and therefore it ought la be 1
said, that the present set of students atCam
bridge«!o honor to themselves and to the
college.
PROVIDENCE, (R. I ) Dec. 2.
A letter has been received here from Mr.
William Magee, of this town, dated at sea
about 25 days since, which informs; that
the (hip Eliza, capt. William Page, of this
port had been attacked in the Streights of
Banca by a Prow, when capt. Page, Thor- i
as Page, seaman, and a Dutch Liaguift, ;
were unfortunately killed. By the bravery j
of the crew, the nativee were beat off, and
the Eliza had failed for Manilla.
NEW-YORK, December 8.
Carnot, it is said, informed Barthelemy,
on the 3d of September, of the scheme plot
ted by the Triumvirs to arrest them, and
proposed to prevent the execution of this
plan, by denouncing them to the couneils.
He took upon himfelf to cause the Trium
virs to be arretted that night for which pur
pose he had prepared every neoeffary mea
sure. Barthelemy more accustomed to the
quiet proceedings of diplomatic business,
than to the violent movements of the revolt
ution, could not convince himfelf of the
reality of the plot of the triumvirate, and
rejefted the proposed raeafure.
The French seem to have copied the Ro
mans, servilely and abjeftly, in retaining
many particulars in their new constitution,
which it was thought worth a revolution to
remove from the old; and leaving out the
good parts of their model, which made its
defeats less glaring, and compensated for
its want of perfeftiou in the whole. Like
the firft consuls, they have increased the
veftigalia of Tyan*y, and kept the insignia
of loyal power, but omitted to provide for
the exercise of religion, and forgot to be no
ble, generous, and magnanimous.
\_Ltnd. Pap.~\
The Abbe of Bologna lately preached a
sermon to the church of St. Roch, in which
he assured his congregation, " It was use
less for them to deceive themselves any lon
ger; and that the Catholic religion is in
compatible with a democratic government."
—This is a new proof of the endless errors
into which they plunge themselves by fol
lowing theories. In the United States we
find that the Catholic religion harmonizes
as well with a republican government, as a
ny ether.
LONDON, Oftobei 6.
The Earl of Mornington embarks for Ben
gal on board La Virginie frigate, in which
also Sir JohnAnftruther takes his passage
la Virginie is expefted to touch at Madrafi,
in her way to Fort William.
Accounts from the Hague 'give the fol
lowing particulars of the late infurreftion in
the fleet in the Texel :—Several battalions
being sent o» shore for their ill-behaviour,
admiral Winter sent fortheirofficerson board
his ship, and asked them whether they chose
to go to the Weft-Indies, or resign their
fituations<? Upon their asking if any order
existed for that end, and exprefiing their
willingness to obey it, the order was produ
ced and they were further enjoined to repre
sent the fame to the troops. Aecord
ingly, a Colonel went on board a trasf
port, which had two Companies ; but he
had scarcely time to inform them of the
order, when they fixed their bayonets,
firtd accused the Colonel of being the Au
thor, of the order. These two compa
nies were then sent on shore, where they
were difarraed by a body of Chasseurs ap
pointed to receive them—Six of the former
were seized by order of admiral Winter, and
ordered to be hanged up without any fur
ther process; the fentenee was immediately
executed upon two of tliem. Much doubt
was expressed refpefting the loyalty of those
forces which still lemaiiled on board the
(hips.
The Virginie frigate ready for sea in ev
ery refpefts, and will eertaitily, wind and
weather permitting, fail for Madras and
Bengal in the courl'e of next week.

S i A*
Among the papers lately read in congress
concerning Mr. Blount, there was one which
the fhort-haad writers have reported as"en
dorsed by Judge Turner." I feel it incum
bent on me to obftrve, that that paper was
altogether in Mr. Blount's hand writing. He
wrote it in ir.y prtfebce, tfr»m aiifwcrs I
made to certain propounded.
It contained notes concerning Upper Lou
iiiaca, where I spent part of the winter of
1794-5. It will not be deemed requisite by
those who know me, to observe further,
that I was not aware, when those notes were
taken, of any improper use intended to be
made of them. I should readily have giv
en the fame information to any other person
profefiing, as Mr. Blount did, a desire to
collect fatks respeCting the interior of North
America.

MR. FENNO,
The publication from Alexandria of the
number of vefleli captured by the French
belonging to that town, is an example that
ought to be followed by all the sea-ports in
the United States. The annals of naval de
predations do not furnifh such instances of
outrage and lawless plunder, and this perpe
trated without the smallest pretext—pre
text did I fay ! the French government are
under the highest obligations to the people
and government of the United States. Ttuc
can be made to appear by a recital of fa&i
innumerable. The treatment we have re
ceived is a meft serious leflon to our coun
try j it fully proves that whatever men may
pretend, those who call themselves republi
cans, will prey on those who are really so,
whenever they have power so do it. The
magnitude of our lolTcs by the French ought
to be known. It will account for that dis
tress in which so great a number of persons
are involved at the present time. It will
serve to convince the people of this country,
who have been so often insulted with the
words national gratitude, that they mull look
to themselves and their own resources, for
justice and protection from lawless violence.
