The committee of claims in J had recommended that provision by law « !( fbould be made for the relief of these peti tioners, whose claims are for arrears of pay, I th &C. due fqr services during the war, whose j in accounts were liquidated, and certificates j granted ; but they alledge that they never j riteived them by reason ofthe default ofthe I agents ofthe regiments to which they be-1 longed.

It All our readers muil liave heard of the dinai famous Felix Coffin, of Nantz, the memo- pose rfalift agaiuft the United States. We sup- fatisi posed he was a villain, and we have Co. dant evidence to confirm the supposition, in the deposition of a capt. Glad of New-York. His conduit to that captain 3nd relative to his (hip and cargo, was knavilh and savage. Few are the bone/! men whooppofe the gov ernment of the United States—every day Wf , £ developes some scandalous trait in their cha- rafters ; and the few boned men vivjl abavi- "j" don such difgraceful connexions. This Cof fin was naturalized at Baltimore—and a ze tt mighty tie our collnt'ry bus on him for pro- p ort miling and affording hi 111 proteftion and an a commercial advantages ! Coffin is a true de- re fl e mocratic expatriatift—he would change [ 0 [] countries every day if he could improve his | opportuniyes for plunder. Jacobins scorn 'j to be bound by oaths.—Coffin is agent for ; n g ) all the piivateers out of Nantz, and part AS • owner of several out of other French ports anc | —deeply interested—and yet the French | ias government with unparralleled weakness f ror or knavery, listened to his libels on the Uni- avc ted States, and his falfe and ridiculous state ments ; and (as capt. Glad's deposition J Hates) at his indance issued the arret rela- AC tivc to the role d'equipage; ,which has so Cfo, materially injured our trade—and violated the principles of justice. He beaded of be ing able to get what he pleased done at Pa- ' J ris and Nantz, and that he procure « (biffed advantage of the Revolution .') the condemnation of any American vessel for , five guineas. Coffin had a regular correspon dence with people inthiscoiintry—-fome who P o ' are " naturalized" we suppose ; who are at ; only waiting an opportunity of miking a diveftmert of their American citizenlhip a T, ' r , | r»gans of filling their pockets to flee back a j u ito France. In a vessel lately arrived at New '* York, a'number of Coffin's friend# came " ; pafTengers—they are his true disciples—they P°' • were numerous, and frequently on the paf -1 sage broke open the hatches, rumaged the J ro freight, drank and wafted the wine, and drew- P" p their swords and knives on the captain and J nr r crew—and sometimes, when liquor Com- P ut . pletely unmasked the devil, " J wore . they would set firt to the city" (mean- 0 s I ' n S probably if the citizens of New-York ' v I did behave perfeftly to their liking.)

Whatever tends , ' to makt known Italy, and the men who are acting a conspicuous part there, (hould be fought for and recorded. A French journal, printed at Milan.,entitled " France ~,| viewed by the army of Italy," furnHhs us with an article calculated to make us bet- 1 j " tcr acquainted both with the present sit uation of Venice, and the genius of the hero who has changed her destinies. The \f „- municipality of this city had dispatched to Buonaparte citizen Dandolo : The ' following is the acciJirnt which Dandolo ' gave to the municipality of one of his in- J lO . c terviews with the deliverer of Italy': 101 I spoke to the general concerning the . re "' dilapidation of the different forts of timber ln c " destined for the service of the navy. He difappvoved of that practice, teftified much j l .?' interest; refpeflihg the fubjeft, and assured ' me that at Udina he would giveorderi which 0 ® (hould be scrupulously refpefted ;he defir-' e ed me to present him a memorial on the sub- | . . Lo " I spoke to him of Ad r ' a > which has p hi e t ever been considered as an integral part of ed to the Ex-Dogeate, and at present forms a part of the department of Padua. He teftified hie fnrprife at this, questioned general Bara- „- v ,, 5 guey d'Hilliers, and decided that it (hould t [ ca tl be united to our department. food " I submitted to him the impoflibility we }>' cn were under of arming with brass guns, as he had required, the five (liips which wc were the ; to furnifh him. He consented that they j W eat (hould be armed partly with iron guns, and of h that their armament (hould be completed ' ,e '!v with brass ones. " I a(ked him, with the franknefs of a A re publican speaking to a republican, whether tled the direftory had consented to the occupy- revo ing oflftriaand Dalmatia by the Auftri- Thc ans ? He answered mp, ho ; and as I in filled on thi«'{joint, lie repeated td' tne so J lei positively that I was quite persuaded. He of n questioned me eoscerning the disposition of whi those provinces, the facility of taking Za- ra by a landing, and told me to bring hitn the topographical maps of the country. <• " I informed hiro, that the people of If- kna tria were very ardent tcbe free, and to be risa united with Venice ; that the Sclavonians of the coasts were very discontented with the . Auftrians, and that the warlike tiation of tiotl the Albanefe would repel our enemy, with cro' . all its force. " "I did not forget to speak to him con- d . 1 ccrning the mufquets of which our national wh r guards are in such want. He answered me « _ that Venice wss to equip with all speed wh three battalions of the line, to complete the opt eighteen, or thereabouts, to be furniftied by our brethren of Italy ; that three thousand 1 stand of arms would be requifitc for that p r , (. pnrpofe, and that we might freely dispose < ; of the remainder. 1 " I spoke to himof the confiscations pro- 1 nounced by our commiflion against some 5 guilty persons, and which meet with diffi- 1 2 cultiea in their execution on the part of the de constituted authorities of th« other depart- v » 1f ments—of the necessity of a central commit d tee, conipofed of all the deputies of the e*-j tui m Venetian (late, to unite its different depart- e d t. ments, to remedy a thousand evils, and "re to forma number of particular administrations, ||j 1 - whose operations are very expensive, and of 1 r- little utility. He assured me of his entire br js consent to all these mpafures, and that in a w few days I should fee the whole put in exe id cution. * re " I informed him of the use we hai made of the economical, political and commercial th picture of Venice, the happy result which by it offered, and the publication we were go- A ed ing to make of it. He immediately allied he me for a copy of it, and promised me to ; H read it with great attention. Fi " His carriage was ready: he. was going _ us tofetout, when, after having conversed an hour and a half, he questioned me again con off cerning the pub'ic spirit which prevailed at 'ajr Venice. A Patriotic Society, well inten the tioned, and diffufing • Republican energy— -2d a Civic Theatre, well diredted, inspiring if democratic sentiments under the veil of plea }y > sure—our pubh'c fittings daily enlightening the people of their true interests, the spirit \m- which animates us all--—this, said I, is what 2ge vffiljly civilizes the country, and renews the m- brilliant days of Its splendour. ' MILAN, Sept. 8. The People of Udina, finding that the , French Commiflioners had imposed a milita ry contribution upon them which they were on - not able to pay, sent Deputies to make re ' 1 presentation of their cafe to Buonaparte. f t he The General advised them to fell the pro perty of the Church, and apply it to the ous discharge of the itu- observed the Deputies, " who will venture to purchase such property; Will the provi-. a „ fional Administrators take upon themselves ■ill ; to preside at the sale, or to guarantee its lore validity?"—" E/itirtain no dtftrufl." said kled Buonaparte, " Tou Jhall certainly be made that free," It may be inferred from this affur '°r ance, that the French government has deter tain, mined not to cede any,part of the Terra and Firma of Venice to the House of Austria, 3 of and that therefore the re-commencement of and hoftilitits is inevitable, if the Cab' ll ® l of , ; n .
