Saxony, Auftrii, Hjmover and Wurtz
burg, have {imply voted for referring that
net; to the diet at-.Ratilbon, and communi
cating its tenor to his Imperial majesty.
Baden was of the lame opinion, butpropof
ed, at the fame time, to declare in answer to
the French legation :
" That the deputation of the empire has
received with the most lively pleasure, the af
furanee given by the French government of
the continuation of its pacific sentiments to
wards the German empire which the depu
tation 0* its part, will use every effort to
maintain ; and that it confcqueiwly hopes
the negociation for peace between the two
dates will on nq accountbe interrupted."
Though Darmstadt,. Augfbourg, Frank
fort, and Mentfc, fupportcd the proposition,
it was not acceded to by the majority. On
i the proposition of Saxony, it was finally de
termined that an answer lliould be tranfmit
tfd to the French ministers, containing how
ever, only a finiple notice. It is as fellows :

LONDON,
We have heard of a most gallant, enter
prliingand refpe&able officer, general
ton, being appointed to command in Portu
gal ; but not of any troops which are to ac
company him. Why not appropriate the
thousands of Ruffians, which it appears Aus
tria will not accept, to the defence of Portu
gal*? They might be more easily transported
by the Mediterranean to that service, than
through Germany to the Rhine ; and not
merely perhaps might Portugal be saved, but
Spaiir itfelf relieved, and the projefted treaty
of commerce eftablilhed on- the balls of gra
titude for her deliverance.

AMBUSCADE FRIGATE.
The accounts which have reached the ad.

wc tmderftaiid, materially from the French
'Accounts, with rejarJ.to the force of the
enemy's corvette, which, we are informed,
is Hated to amount to 31 guns. The adtion
it is said, took place of the coifl of France,
on the 14th.uk. and lifted, wl'tli much def-
~v;
psrauon, for some hours, when the enemy
succeeded in boarding the Atnbufcade, from
her foremall being badly wounded, and fall-
ing on board the French veflel so as toferve
the republicans as a bridge to pass ovejv. The
Bayonnais had on board threehundred pick
ed troops, independent of her full compli
ment of faamen, which gave her a decided
fuperierity over thft British (hip. The prizs
was sent into Rochefort.
Capt. Jenkins was desperately wounded
early in- the a&ion»- but we are happy to
hear that great hopes are entertained of his
recovery, as well as that of lieutenant Sin
clair, of the marines. As soon as it is
deeuied fafe to remove them, a cartel will
bring them to England on their parole.

The French directory, as our readers
know have demanded from the court of jMa-
drid the Walloon and Swiss guards, which
are known ta be the mofi efR-£tive troops in
the service of Spain ; there is no doubt but
an artful policy lurks under this demand,
and that it is the firft ffep in a new &b?me
of operations, by which they mean to out-
.manoeuvre eur miuiflers in their negociation
with that court.
this j'ort of manage.Tient, and it behoves
g'lir.government to be more on the alert,
ift'.tjspy tne/nto retain the footing they ha ft
obtained.
December 24.
Ttieir ingenuity is deep in
The end of their demand of thij effeftive
force is, that they may reduce the court of
Madrid to a mere abjeft dependence upoi'
them, by ■ which they may di&ate to his ma-
jefty their own terms. Their firft view, al
ter controulipg the Spanilh monarchy, is to
seize upon Portugal, for the great purpose
of depriving us of th« advantage of the port
of Lisbon as the rendezvous of our fleet,
and this accomplished, they will again con
tend with us for the navigation of the Me
diterranean.
This may be said to be taking a very wide
o*t-look of future events. Itisfo: tut the
Speculation is not improbable ; and an atten
tive fpeftator will fee ground for the conjec
ture. If it depended on the gallantry of our
marine to prevent it, we fhauld not attach
the flighted importance to their intrigues at
Madrid.' But they know better than to try
the fate of a battle with earl St. Vincent.
Their intrigue is not to force the Spanish
fleet out te lea in the firft in fiance, by which
it would to a certainty be annihilated, bet,
by weakening the Spaniards, they think they
may be abl« to crulh Portugal, and thus, by
depriving us cf a port ia that quarter, make
it impossible for us to keep the seas, as the
bay of Gibraltar affords no fafe anchorage,
i«d Minorco itfelf cannot fur a conliderable
[pace of time, perhaps not for two years, give
us the means of refitting a squadron there.
In schemes of this kind, it is every thing
to anticipate the blow if our niinifters
have not taken some bold and dec;five mea
sure for the fafety of Portugal, they will be
as unfortunate there .as they have been at
Naples. It is by fnatcbing that kingdom
from our alliance, that the French hope a
gain to drive us .out of the Mediterranean,
and to make the battle of the Nile only ejni
nentfor its splendor, but not for its use.

and ietters of the 16th and 13th inft.
In tl.e county of Clare, it appears, an en
gagement has taken place between the insur
gents and the military ; for the Dublin Jour
nal fays, " By the lateQ accounts from In
nis, we learn that troops have niaicbed from
Limerick against the insurgents in that neigh
bourhood ; a (bort conflict wok place, in
which the rebels were totally routed ?nd dis
persed: several of their leaders have been
taken, among others the infamous Burke,
who was expelled the college of Dublin for
blafpliemy ; and O'Gorman, who, at the in
fligation of the editor of The Press, engaged
la(t March in the plan to afTaffinate Mr.
Macartney, and was for that and other
crimes expelled the college. Burke has been
hanged at Ennis ; O'Gorman is in Limerick
gaol. The country is nearly quieted by this
timely interference of the military power."

When Ledyard, the celebrated American
traveller, was at Cairo, he wrote to the Pre
udent of the royal society, for the expref's
purpose of pointing out to him the expedien
cy of Great Biitain's taking poffeifion of E
'J'pt, in order to prevent its feeing seized
upon by some other European power, which
with the spirit of prophecy, he declared he
considered as an event that could not fail to
take place ere many years should elapfc. Af
ter difcanting upon its extraordinary advan
tages of foil and situation, he urged as a pa re
ticular incentive to its concjuefl, the exist
ence in the country of near fifty thousand'
free traders, who would jsin and support a
ny power that ftiould undertake to rid them
of the opprefiion and plunder they fuflfered
from the beys. Ledyard's letter was, by
his own desire, communicated to his majsf
ty's minifters,.but was not attended to. Thfy
thought, it no doubt, neither moral nor po
litical to attack the sublime Porte without
any plausible pretence for war.
We have already communicated to our
readers, that the French have established a
National Institute at Cairo. The building
appropriated for the purpose ist-'O palaces
of the beys, and two houses belonging to
rich private persons. " In these," fays the
nrriter of a letter from Egypt, " all the ar
tilts and learned men live. They furnifh us
perhaps, with more conveuencits, and at
lead with as much magnificence, as the
Louvre. An immer.fe garden, of nearly
35 French acres, well planted, with high
terraces, vsliieb »re never overflowed by the
Nile, is dcttiried to botanical and ether cul

" The greatest tranquility reigns here at

Flour is from to 30 dollars, and wine
from 100 to 130 dollars per barrel.
" The trade carried on with Aux Cayet
and Jacmel (the part under the command of
general Rigaud) is in a mod flourifhing situa
tion. There have arrived in the latter place,
three Ihips from Europe, very richly laden,
which have furniftied us with every thing we

TRENTON, April S.
On Tuffday last the circuit court of the
United States, for the diftriifl of New-Jer
sey, commenced its session in this city.
JUDGE IREDELL delivered to the
Graud Jury a truly patriotic charge. After
forne general reflexions, on the relative sit
uation between tin? United States and France,
the learned Jwdge went into a defence of the
alien and {edition laws, and proved them, it
is believed to. the fatista&ion of evejy unpre
judiced mind, to be perfe&ly confident with
the principles of the conftitutioi), and to be
founded on the wisest maxims of policy. The
Judge concluded with calling the attention
of the grand jury to the present lituatioq of
the country, and with remarks.on jthe mild
and virtuous admiiviftration of. the govern
ment.
The grand jury having completed their
service, returned into court, and presented
the following resolution :
" Resolved (with only one diflenting
voice) That this grand jury do entirely ap
prove of the obferyations and sentiments con
tained in the charge of the court, as well as
of the alien and particularly no
ticed therein, which, in our opinion, the
late and present critical situation of our coun
try rendered indispensable."
