I PHILADELPHIA,
MdNOAY EVENIXG, FEBRUARY toi
From late Landon Papers.
Among some ladies who came over in the
lift pafiage velfel from France, was one dre ti-
Ed in a green habit, with yellow cuffs and
collar, resembling a military uniform, who
called lieifelf Mi ft Wade, but who proves
t» be the wife of Blackwell, Mapper 'fandy's
allociate. She is a handsome young
woman, and at full was detained, but fbe is
since re leafed and is arrived at London.
Her hufbatld was in the French service be
fore tfie revolution, and Ihe has the aft of
tfeturalizatiou limned by Louis XVl,—She
tame from Paris ;ind brought with her or
ders to raise the embargo laid on at Cilias—-
She has l'ome lifters married in the country ;
through the Secretary of Stite's office, ihe
was allowed to .correspond with her hufbwnd.
In the prefelit age ot political innovation,
it is iwrious to Qbh-rve the veneration
for a'ntiqu ; tjr wfcu'b prevails in'all ourdrtfles
and falhions. El'.aab; til's ruff deco
rates our blooming belles: and our beaux
are puckered and fluffed cii the fhouldeis
A I.A RICHASB TH6 Third. But what is
Mill more remarkable, is ti.e total abjuration
of the female pockets—Theft - heavy pper..
ire-no uiore worn at present than key*
at die girdle. Every f.'.fliic nable fur carries
her puife in her work money
and her inuOliry be cheek by jowl—and her
gambling- gains lie snug by her houle-wife.
Her handkerchief, btr tooth-pick-c;fe, her
watch, arid her keys, if (he has any, are die
constant concomitants of her vtiits ; and
• :I» no pait of the symmetry of her {hap?
altered or Concealed by the'old fafliiontd
j nniers, (he has the pleasure of laying every
tning thm., Uviongs to her upon the table
wherever fbe goes.
The dowry of the Princefsof Ruflia, bride
to the Archduke Joseph, Palatinate of Hun
gary, required t3 waggons to tianfpart it.
It arrived at Loniberg on the 2d inft. The
▼hole is valued at ten million rul.e s and the
freight to Pe!V colt twelve thoufar.d
tubles.

A young rustic a tew days Af?o> havTng
condufted his virgin bride to ctturch, at a
village near Farisby, in Lancalhirej and pa
tiently fubniitted to the awful ceremony,
returned with her home to her mother's
house, from which he immediately abfc«nlkdj
and has not fmce been beard of.
The following passage taken from General
Berthier's account cf the operations of the
trmy of Ervpt, exposes the credulity and
superstition of the people <>f that country :
" In the be£:nning of Floreal, an einiflary
Africa, who had landed at Derne, afi
l'ng the Saint, and beiag Unrounded by dis
ciples, joined himielf to the Arab?, calling
bimfelf the Angel Kl M.Jd;, niiounced in
the Alcoran. He declared Ttmt the muf
qaets, bayonfts, 'sabres, and cannon of the
French could not hart true believers, who
Slight march along with him : on the con
trary, that on the fr;ht of their arm* the
French would retire without being able to
defend themfelvcS. Hii atfertiona were be.
lieveri, and when he thought that lie had a
fufficient force he marched again ft D-men
hurel witn the Arabs (these Arabs had made
a treaty of peace some days before, with
General Maimont, at Alexandria.) He |
surprised these, and butchered fixtv men of
the nautical legion, who had remained in the
town, notwithstanding the orders their cm,
rnlndant had received to repair to the fort
of Rhamanie. The Angel El Mahdi taking
advantage of this success, raised the whole
province. Leftbvfc frt out from the tort
of Rhamanie with 200 men : but the Arabs
and Feliahs were all under arnn. He was
surrounded and fought till night, when he
retired iDto the fort, having killed all those
■who came within reach of his fire. This
Sa ; ut El Mahdi loft his ertdit by the death
of many of his difcipies, but the Province
fbll remaiued in a (lite of infurre&ion.
General Lanufle, with a moveable .column,
advanced on the 19th to Rhamanie, and
from thence to Dcinenhurel, driving every
thing before him, He put to the sword
1,500 mefii in that town, and reduced it to
ashes. He dispersed the difcipies of the
Saint El Mahdi, who hinii'elf fled, wound
ed, and half'dead, with tear. The Mau
grabins patted the Nile, and gained Tliar
kie. The Province was restored to good
order."
A letter from Brunfwick, in the ttedac
teur, fays, " Perhaps you do pot know that
M. de Berlepfch, Provincial Counsellor in I
Ha. .over, having been deposed by the K:ng*
us England as elector of Hanover, appealed,
ta the tribunal of the empire. He gained
his cause, and the eleftor of Hanover (king
of England) wa« fenienced to reinstate him,
under pain of execution oh tbe part of the
empire.
Sieyes wsis extremely rejoiced at the re
turn of * Buonaparte. It was he who an
nounced it to Baudin, since dead. I have
td inform you, fays the dir. dor, of the be ft
piece ps news in the world ; but you ifhall
giiefs fir ft what it is : Perhaps, i'<id Baudin,
it is a viilory of Chainpionet. Better than
that. A uew victory of MafTuia ? Suwar
row taken ? Better yet. The Englifti dri
ven from Holland ? biill better. Is it then,
replied Baudin, the Ggning of thr prelimina
ries of peace ? No, you arc no? yet right,
answered Sieyes ; but it is an event which
may lead to a peace ; it is the arrival of Buo
naparte in France.
Balloons are so much the rage in Paris at

ther the Uaited Stales or Syi
bouudary line, or to have any intercourse
with the Indians, but by hi 3 authority. He
forbids this, on pain of death, to all who
may oppose his. royal will and pleasure.;
Bowles orders the Indians to fend Mr,
Hawkins and others out of the nation. Cer-*

the adventurer's Indian feouts, and brought
to him ; with ihefe dispatches were dupli
ca'es of Mr. EUicott's letters to the secre

P. S. The runners who brought the dis
patches fay, that Bowles has a velTel arrived
with good frrm England, for the Indians ;
this, however, wants confirmation.

Likewise informed me that three weeks be

61 men, 2 days from Guadalcupe, taken
nothing ; 3 months provisions on board.—
It was rxpedted that this privateer would
have engaged the Picktriog, as she (hewetl
14 ports 1 but on the Pickering§ritig a (hot
