We know nothing of the army of Prince Charles. We believe that his head-quarters are {till at'Engen, near Stockac'k.-r-It is now doubted, whether he means to attack with great force on the fide of Switzerland. It freros that, content with having drawn the French forces there, he carries the great bo dy of his army into the Tyrol. Tfee Freueh ministers 'yffterday received notifications, which enjoined them to retire to S-^t(burgh, and invite such members as desired to make a separate peace on the part of their sovereigns, to follow them to con dude the fame at Stra {burgh- They will set cut .the 4th of this montli. The private communication and seCret conferences between the French and Prus sian mirtifters arerjot less frequent than here tofore ; but we are entirely ignorant of their objaft. April 26 : Tlio la ft note of the Yiviich plmipitntia ries Mi their taking leave, concedes, after a statement of grievances, with the follow ing expreiiions: " Finally, it is in confcqnence of what lias been just stated, that the underflgned in fofcli tlie deputation of tV>e empire they will depart from Raftadt in three days : but dt> firiHi? to give to Germany a last and signal tcftinrOny of the patience and desire of the French govrrnrwit for peace, they declare they fiiall retire into'the commune of Straf burp h, in order to wait there for the renew, al of negotiations, and to atVnd to ihe pro portions of peace whith may be made to them. An extraordinary apprehension is said to have been exprefTtd by the cabinet of Vien na, that the Ruffians, savage as their cli mate, and devoid ef dicipline, had already infsfted the Auftn'an army, and created as much alarm through the territory they were called upon to save, as had recently been eje- cited by the in»ader. that the Emperor had not only refufed to become a party in the defenfive treaty con duded between Britain,Ruflia and the Purte to which he had been invited to accede, but had even made overtures to the direc tory to conclude a feperate and immediate peace. It is not for us to advocate all the measures of the Austrian, or of any other cabinet ; but at the moment that Austria, by the exercise of her utmost means, (hakes to its very base the Colossal Tyrant of Eu rope, it is hardly creditable to accuse her of duplicity, and to lupport her charge by tra ducing the chai a<£ler of the Ruffians. We traft that the ailedged effect will be found fallacious as the stated cause of it ; and that.the Emperor will preserve all Ihe glo ry that has and shall be purchased by the exalted valour of his armies. The creatures of party f° often f;»crifice their veracity to evince their z.al, that conjefture is often loft upon a simple faft, from the contrarie ty of liatements, until credulity is worn out fey reiterated attacks, and even truth is received with distrust and a,pprehenfion. The attention paid to the formation of the Ruffian troops is equal to any thing in pr.\6lice or upon record. .There are no less ■than four ft pa b;tween the private and the ferjeant ; merjt is almost the sole medium of elevation ; as a proof of, what may possibly be termed, the seventy of discipline, we state from unquestionable authbrity that an ofheer has been imprifoncd for three months in the black hole without any other fuften- ance than bread and water, for appearing in toxicated in his regimentals—an example which, by the bye, might be attended to if followed in othe" countries. The valour of the' Ruffians is proverbial. We formerly quoted a passage from the late Gen. Lloyd, who had long served again ft, knew them well, and who fays of them, " they can't be conquered—they mull be kill'd," But having said thus much in their favcur, the ill-judged praise of their eulo gitU makes it necessary, in order to reconcile the time employed in their route to Italy with the accounts of their marching 24 to 36 milts a day, to observe that their bag g»g- J generally >efembles that of an eastern camp, and containing their women and dren, impedes that rapid progress, to v* . their cunftitutio»s and muscular powers ren der them so dfiitiguifliedly competent. The Russia s, on the 25th of Februauy, left ihe neighbourhood of Vienna, and bad not reached Verona, a distance of 518 Eng glifli miles, on »he 7th April, which allow ing that they had then arrived, would be lit tie more than at the rate of seven English miles a day. Much uneafitiefe has beenexpreffedteft the heat of the climate ot Italy, superior to what rhe Ruffians hive been accustomed, flipuld destroy them ; to which we fliJl only observe that evep in Siberia, the fun is more power ful, t (lap in juiy part of Italy, in proof of which we mention that though in the month j}' May the snow lies from fix to eight feet d'-ep, and tiroughthe winter continues with out intermission from the end of O&ober to the middle of June, the natives have, in their three months of furomer, two crops even of haj ; which, in point of quantity, is not to be furpaficd in any other part of the universe.

Thefous of Ge nius will long mourn the death cf a brother ; the man of science, taste and sentiment will drop a tear to his memory. The various ef fufions of his Genius brilliantly witness, that he was a star of the fir ft magnitude in the hemisphere of American literature. As ai man, a heart, that could feel the woes, as well as beat in union with the joys of another, was his. Tho' no splendid titles decorate the , registry of his death, yet he, whose genius has often strewed with flowers the hcarle, and embalmed the memory of others, has left monuments to his own wore durable, than marble ; audio long as the native language of Americans can charm by elegant compbfi tion, the name of Hughes will be remembe red, and blest.

By him we learn, that a number of the tribes are to aflemble ir. council at San duflcy on the 7-th inft. to consult on matters relative to their own national concerns ; he informs that they have not the least idea of any thing 1 hostile againfl the frontiers, or the people of the United States: on the conqfiry, they wish to live in amity with the white people ; he mentions, that a number of Frenchmen and Spaniards have been among them, endeavoring to stir them up to war against the people of this country, but could not prevail ; he fays « Indian, verj sici of " yar '--he confirtps the account publilhed in the journal of last week, under the Lexing ton head of Maj' 21, of Tome northern tribes gjoing to war again ft the Kafkaikias Indians —he likewise informs, that the Shawanefe, Delaware and Wyandots, wifli to unite and become as one nation, which is the chief purport for which this council is convened. Captain Warrior is an aftive intelligent trtan, about forty years of age, was taken when an infant, and ha#remained among the dians the whole of his life ; he has travel led through several of the States in hopes to find his parents or relations but never cculd. June 11. BY a gentleman wljo arrived in town on Wednesday last. we are informed that, on the 2(jth or 30th ult.as two men were hun ting horses on Floyd's Fork rear the town of Shelby, (Ken tucky) they wtrs surprized by a party of Indians, who .appeared by their diefs hoftile.—ln a short time these apearancts were realized, for no sooner had they approached within gun (hot, than the India s fired—killed oue—and put a bullet through the cloaths of the other, who made his escape without receivicg any other da mage.—On. his return heme, he spread the alarm thro, the neighbourhood, in conse quence of which the inhabitants immediauly Rationed and put themfrlves in a Hate of defence.—The Indians are supposed to be Shawoiiefe or Delaware. This information may be relied on, as our informant was kn owing to the circumstance. Information has been received in town last week, that the Jndians killed a white man, (a trader) on the waters of Indian Ken tucky, about 80 miles below this place. The man kiilad was a Frenchman j it is sup posed the Indians were drunk. We hare it From undoubted authority, that general Wilkinfon has received orders to repair immediately t® Philadelphia—and that all officers of rank had- received similar orders. A gentleman who arrived in town last Saturday evening, from Hamilton, informs, that the Indians have warned Captain John If ami ton,, (a gentleman who has been along time a trader among them—and who now lives at 'he Big spring, five miles the other fideof Hamilton) to move within this pre sent moon, into the town, else, he might expe&, that he and his family w ou'd be kil led, ss there were a party collc&ing to «ome agairift the frontiers.

If -i-nftcad of Tinging hofannas to the 'French, rehl rc!\:blicans, were to read with attention, the Roman history ; it might per "iwps open their eyes to the tendency of French conquests. The fa ft is; the French have adopted, -and even rjfined upon, Ro man maxims—'nence we fee'them, use the fame mean*, which the Romans did, to con quer, and make precisely the feme use of their conquests.. No people could cover, or flicltcr them- selves, from the enterprizes, and vexations of the Roman Republic, however attentive they might be, to fyrniih ho pretext' for a rupture ; that Republic always found- they had been guilty-os fotue Crime, which it was necefiary to chnftife. It is' the fame with the Fiench .Republics. The two following traits will exhibit the charter of the Ro man Republic When Manlius f-eturned from his expedition,againftthe'Gallo-Greeks, Furius and Emiiitis, his <»emies, endeavor ed to prevent his triurtipb, upon the pretext, that the war, he had rilSde, was unjust ; but Manlius Confoundedthem easi ly. by reprtP-nting, that the Gauls liad for merly pillaged the Temple of Delphos, an impiety, which he said, hat! not been punish ed. These fame Ilomans (according to Jnf ti:i) were not ashamed to alledge, as a serious reufon, for undertaking the defence of the Acumcnians, again ft the E'.olinns, that the Ancestors of the fir ft, were the only people of Greece, tvbo bad not sent troops to the siege of Troy. What state or country has been fortunate enough, to cover or shelter itfelf, from the revolutionizing enterprizes of France, when it suited her to make them ; and when (he has prepareda people to receive her yoke, has Ihe in any instance, employed better reasons for impofmg it, than that tbey or their ancestors bad, or bad not, sent troops to the siege of Troy ; or that their ancestors in days of yore, bad committed a supposed crime, for mjbicb, ibsir posterity deserved punishment. Mr. Ffnno, I believe I ip»y defy the. annals of the U nited States to fliew an if.ftanceof hardened audacity, equal to that of Duane, in Pub lifiiing the following- account of himfelf. ♦ " Duane prints, every day, paragraphs an hundred times more obnoxious than those for which Abijah Adams *as dressed in a ft one jacket.

Extract of a letter from an American in Paris, dated April 18. j " I am sorry to int'erm • yon of the continuance of the cause of my being in Pa ris : the value of your Uiip and cargo was too important tobe relinquilhed. Although since the recent fuccefies of the Auftrians the tone of the French government has chang ed materially towards neutrals, they are not yet in a condition to refund. Indeed, Ido not think they are able, since from the Di rectory down to the lowed fcriib ia office, every one lives in every species of debauch ery far beyond his income, and leaves 110 ar tifice untried to drain his credit to its ut most verge. Yau have seen enough long since, to explain to you the views of the par ty which refuted Lord Malmeibury's lad proportion, which occalioned the proscrip tion of Carnotandthebanifhinentof Piche grue and his friends ; but you have not the pleasure to view the change of countenance in these once iufolent, but now chop-fallen wretches. When I firft arrived they were all elation : " Let us reiider the whole world tributary." Let us outdo the Romans in glorious c&nqued And extent of power. While every PoilTard inParis held this lan guage, the complaints of the neutrals were treated with the utinod contempt and ridi cule. " Cite us an indance, said thev, of rcjlitvition by Alexander or by Csfar, and we will hear you," " You may thank cjur forbearance that we have not demanded as much of you as we have received from the Dutch" said another. " What right have Juch impotent Colonies to expeit not to pay an acknowledgement to the maders of the universe, for your political exidence as a na tion ?"—All this have we been fotced daily to hear, till the check which the unexpected coalition of Ruflia and Turkey made these wretches resort once more to cunning. They now fay that it is a pity we diould quarrel, who were once friends ; in fliort, they cant and whine as if they hoped to deceive the neutrals, but until they can force us to swal low the whole of Lethe, they w ill never fuc cced, since there ft not a neutral in Paris who has not been insulted by the open avow al of their determination (if heaven had fa voVed their schemes) to scourge, to render tributary and to humble to the dud all the nations of the universe." ®:W.

Having made my remarks on the fubfeft of employing the poor, I proceed to consider the other items of your annual account.'

Are the liquors included under this head, or under the article of medicines ? for there can be 110 doubt, the family have consumed brandy, spirits, and wine top. Now, Gentlemen, let .me ask vou, would any one of you receive Inch an account from your own fleward ? I think yoif would not ; and therefore you ought not to deliver such. an account to the public, whose stewards in fa ft you are : for itis not only nof informing the people, but it is much less ufeful than it might, and ought to he to those who suc ceed you in office ; tor if they should want to compare one year with another, to dis cover wherein they can reduce their expen ds, 111 any article, how are they to do it ? By going to infpeft your day book as one of your old managers told me to do, or by having a well digested abftraft before them. In the fir ft cafe they would be loft in a laby rinth of charges, and in the latter they would fae your fituatioh in a moment, ' I have no tiling further to offer on the pro vision part of youraccount at this time, on• 1 ly to observe, that you make no mention of a large public Contribution, which I suppose is all conf-jined in the house. Why you omit to do it I cannot tell ; but I think von (hould introduce it among your other expences. I mean the articles of butter and pork, forfeited by law to your Institution. 01 the former you have been known to re ceive large quantities in a year ; and lam told you or your predecefTors, have received 7o hogs in a day, and salted 173 in the fame ipace of time. If you have debited, as no doubt you have done, under the head of provisions, the money you have paid for their feeding, &c.
