NEW-YORK, January 23.
We acknowledge our obligations to two
highly refpeftable honfes in this city, for
Hamburgh papers to the 14th Nov. received
by the Franklin arrived in 56 days
from Hamburgh. Although we received
them at a late hour, we delayed our paper
that we might add to it all the important
information that our file contained. On a
ni< e infpciition we were much disappointed
to find that their contents are in general of
very little confluence. The following ar
ticles appearing to have the firft claim of our
attention in point of consequence, we have
translated them for vhis day's Merchantile
Advert ifer.
Vienna,
A courier from Coultautinople arrived
ycfterday to the Turki(h Ambaflador here.
It is reported that the dispatches, amOngst
other things, date the fit nation of Buona
parte's Army ; that it had overpowered fe
verai of the Beys : but afterwards in its turn
had been completely defeated by them. As
the Turkilh Envoy has not tho't fit to pub
lilh any thing on the fubjeft, we do not
think fit to place any great reliance on the re
port. Private letters (late that Buonaparte,
as well as Berthier, were made prisoner's :
but thife letters also we do not any
reliance on, fiuce the Court Gazette of this
day is silent »n the (übject.
Agreeable to accou: ts from Conllantino
pie, the Porte has requeued from the court
o£ Sweden and another court, to fulfill the
ftipulatiors which are fpecified in the differ
ent treaties with those powers.
Since the Maltese had fucceedcd get
polTefiion of their Islands, there ate (agree
able to letters from Naples) arrjvtd fcveral
veflels of the nations in amity with Franct,
which have taken poffelfion of the Maltese.
It is said that the French commander of
Malta has been killed in the last affray ; and
afterwards, many civil officers,known friends
to the I'rench, some have been murdered, aud
some arretted.
We hear that already some of the old
knights of Malta are waiting at Trieste to
embark at Malta, to reinstate the old Go
vernment, in cafe the French should have
been compelled to quit the Ifl^nd.
Tr'tefle, oSober 19th.
Veflels which have lately arrived here
from the Adriatic sea, bring accounts that
a Ruffian fleet had arrived in the roads of
Zante and Cephalonia, and had taken pos
session of both these Islands in the name of
the Emperor f Rudia. There was but a
very feeble force in both these plac«s : but
the Island of Corfu is well f irtified by the
French, and is supposed to be able to tland
a siege. The contirma'ion of thijuaccownt,
through an official channel, we are in ex
pedition of.
Far is, Nov. 5.
The Journal Ami des Loix, contains
fome«.hing worthy of oblervation. It lays,
that a party who some time ago clifputed
Buonaparte's talent?, but are now in his fa
vor, make no scruple of declaring, that the
directory had sent him to Egypt to be facri
-sced—The journalist contradicts the report,
on account of the diredtor Merlin, having
feat his own fori with him. and Buonaparte
always spoke with the grea'teft joy of this ex
pedition, called it the grand undertaking,
and wished the prOjett to be put into execu
tion.
The crew of the schooner Biche, which
arrived at lire ft, fay, that the ship of't.he line
H»che, after the engagement, funk, and
every foul on board perished ; likewise that
general Bompa'rd was killed in the aftion.
[According to the English news Hoche had
arrived on the coast of Ireland.]
A letter from col. Marchais, commander
of a battalion gives an account of a very se
rious storm which on the 28th Sept. raged 1
on the coast of Mizza i.n so violent a manner, i
that the seventh half Brigade which was on ;
their marcjf to the Army of Ttaly, on the 1
read to Saorigo, was obliged to make a halt 1
on account of the . incredible hail and wind, 1
The rocks in different parts were torn to pie- j
. ces, and the roads filled with water and bro
ken rocks, in such a manner that the soldiers c
were obliged to climb thereon to save their 1
lives. Four waggons, loaded with the trea- 1
fares of the Army, and likewise the baggage 1
of the officers of Brigade, were hurried into i
the stream by a large ridge of rocks breaking t
to pieces, and every article loft." i

ExlraS r,f a letter from a gentleman of the c
Arjl refpeSability to his friend in this city, a
dated Hamburgh zi>th Offober, received by a
the Frank'in, arrivedyefterday. c
«< It is very probable that a general n
peace will take place this winter—on ac- Q
count of the general deftru&ion of the
French floet at Alexandria, the loss of 40
or 50,000 of t heir belt troops, the remain- t ]
der of their marines, the probability of a war a .
with America, the declaration of war by
the Turks, the alliance between Ruflia and \
the Emperor of Germany,' the general dif- 0!
fatisfaftion of the inhabitants of Italy, and ji
the juftifiable indignation of the brave Swiss, a j
the general enmity of Europe, the deficien- re
cy of 105 millions of livres in the Fianeh j;
finances, their total loss of credit, and the tc
refufal of the young men to join the armies,; c ]
all these eircnmftatices together, induce me w
to believe, that if they commence another
campaign, their fate will be a total ovfr

' I The following resolutions were proposed in
I the House of Delegates in Virginia, by
I George K. Taylor.
' I WHEREAS it appears that the unfriend-
I ly conduit of France towards the United
I States of America, has been encouraged by
I an opinion entertained by that nation, that
J there are many of our people so dill'atisfied
s I with their owri government as to be inclined
, I to lubmit to the interference of a foreign in—
-1 I It tic nee ajjd power, rather than acquiel'ce un-
I der the prel'ent state of things ; and where
* I as. it;4'eems proper that we, whom the peo-
I pie have chosen to reprefetit them, Ihould on
, I this momentous occalion express our ienti
" j ments, and what we conceive to be the fen
: J timents of cur conllituents :
I Resolved, That the government of the
1 I United States, eftablilhed njore effectually to
I preserve union, eltablilh justice, ensure do-
I meftic tranquility, provide for the common
I deltnce, promote the general welfare, and fe-
I cure the bleifings of liberty, is alone ade- .
I quate to those all-important purpol'es, and
I ought to be maintained and supported by the J
I people of thele states, against every attempt
I to weaken, degrade or destroy it, at the <
j rilque of every thing dear and valuable to [
I man.
I Resolved, That the measures pursued by t
I the Executive of the United States for pre- t
I serving peace and t'riendlhip with France, !
I and for accommodating the differences which c
I had arisen between America and that nation, s
have been wife and liberal; and that their {
failure cannot in the remotest degree be im- r
I puted to our government.
Resolved, That the French nation, in the
I depredations made on our commerce, in the c
I mal-treatment of our unoffending citizens t
I who have fallen into their power while pur- t
I l'uing their peaceable and lawful occupations, t
I in their repeated contumelious and insulting v
I bfehavior towards our ministers of peace, and g
I in their final rejection of them when it was a
I found that they could not be bent or seduced C
to a facrifice of the honor and interest of their f;
country, have violated the laws of nations a
and the treaties which subsisted between us; tl
and have manifefted towards us such an irre- h
concileable spirit of hostility, as juftib.es the cl
recourse of our government to those means c
of defence which a kind heaven has amply
placed in our hands. 1
They were negatived and in lieu of them
the following were substituted and caried, tl
ayes 103 noes 58. w
Resolved, That the General AfTembly of vi
Virginia will co-operate with the authorities ti
of the United States, in maintaining the in
dependence, union, and conftituticn thereof, rt
against the hostilities or intrigues of all so- cc
reign powers whatsoever ; and that, although re
differences of opinion do exist, in "relation fn
to internal and domestic measures ; yet, a fe
charge that there is a party in this common- th
wealth, under the influence of any foreign m
power, is unfounded and calumnious. L
Resolved, That the General AfTembly do,
and will always behold with indignation, de
predations on our commerce ; insults on our
citizens ; impreflment of *>ur seamen ; or re
any other injuries committed on the people "
or government of the United States by so- th
reign Nations.
Resolved nevertheless, That our security re
from invasion. and the force of our militia, all
render a (landing army unnecefiary ; that so
the policy of the United States, forbids a war qu
of aggn-ffion ; that our'whole: reliance ought
to be oji ouridves, and therefore, that while
w '" rc l Jf 1 invasion at every hazard, we
fiiall .deplore and deprecate the evils of war
tor any caufc.
, "ii the question being parthat the
houle do agree with the committee of the
whole hoiifc in the resolutions as reported,
it pafled in the affirmative.
r* REMARKS
On these proceedings of Virginia.
The resolution which denies that there is
a party in Virginia under the influence of a
foreign power, carries its own condemnation
Ha wit h it in tliel'e proceedings,
on 'iy was tire resolution rejected declaring
that the government of the United States
ought to be maintained against every attempt
to weaken, degrade or destroy it ?
Why was the resolution rejected exprefl
ts ing an approbation of the measures of the
United States in regard to France, which
have been almost universally approved from
a ~ one end of the continent to the other ?
e Why was the resolution rejected charging
the French nation with depredating our com
merce, mal-treating our citizens, insulting
and rejecting our mini Iters of peace, and
* pursuing a course of hoftihties, that juftify
the (Jnited States in having reconi*fe to thole
1" measures of defence which ? kind Heaven
has amply placed in our hands
' From what motives has the Virginia as-
e > fembly v rejected these resolution:, and l'ubfti
tuted, that they will co-operate in main*
[j e taining the conflitution againfl the intrigues
an< i hostilities of foreign powers only, and
not against the intrigues and rebellions of
domestic poWers or American citizens?
Whence is it that France, her insults, per
fidies and aggrellions, are palfed in iilence <
Whence is it that the defenfive operations of
Congress in providing an army is denounced
as being unneceflary ?
C ' Whence is it, that the General AiTembly
- c declares that" they do and will ahvayi behold
J vriti indignation, depredations on our com
merce, insults on our citizens, impressment
of our seamen, or any other injuries commit
r" ted by foreign nations," but that while they
l <j repel invalion a t any hazard, they Hill deplore
and deprecate the evils of war. for any other
cause." Whence so pufilanimous a declara
tion that tbey will always behold with in
-7 dignation, depredations, insults and injuries
upon our citizens upon the high sea, without
any effort to avert or repel them ? Tame, in
deed, must he the General Aflembly always
thus meanly, thus passively, to behold these
things without refinance. Such abjeft sub
mission to France can only reasonably be ac
counted for by imputing it to the delulion,
which certain individuals in that slate, under
the influence of the French Republic, or
from motives of ft-lf aggrandizement, prac
tice on the generality of the members who
" are deceived and milled.
j Marti.and Legislature.
The committee to whom were referred the
f resolutions from the Legislature of Virginia,
refpeding the Alien and Sedition Laws pas.
led at the last session of Report,
that they have the fame tinder their mall se
rious confideratf»n, and after mature delibe
ration declare it as their decided opinon, that <
no State Government by a legislative aft is '

propriety of adopting the following refelu- J
tion : "
" Resolved, That the General Aflembly f.
of Maryland highly dilhpprove the fenti- '■
ments and opinions contained in the Resolu
tions of the Legiilature of Virginia, inaf- ,]
much as they.contain the unwarrantable doc- C
trine, of the competency of a State Govern- ,l
ment, by a legislative aft, to declare an aft
of the Federal Government uncenftitutional
and void ; and as they contain a request for
or.r co-operation with them in obtaining a
repeal of Laws, which at this crisis we be- 1
lieve wife and politic." J
On the second reading of the report of the 11
committee on the Resolutions of the Legifla- V "
ture of Virginia, the ciuetliun was put that
the House concur with the following part of lii
the Report, viz. The committee to whom ar
