i Jforeign intelligence* LONDON, December 20. Sir Sisney Smith to Buonaparte. When Sir Sidney Smith was.in the Tem- ple,, he wrote with a pencil upon the walls of his prit'on, the following addrefa. Four prisoners, who were after Sir Sidney's depar ture, Confined in the room he occupied, desired the gaoler, the moment they entered it, to remark that the writing on the wall ■was anterior to their arrival. " The Temple, Oct. 26, 1798. " The wheel of fortune tnakw ftr. nge re volutions.—but to d;ferve the'name of re volution it is necef(ary\hat the turn of the wheel Ihould be complete. You are now as liigh as you can be ; well ! I do not envy your happiness, have a greater happi —jiefs, that of being as low in th» career of ambition as one can ; so let the capricious dame tu.ru \fci ever so little, I inuft a fc; nd ;by the feme rul® you mull defcetyi. ..." '** Ido not make tins remark to disgust you ; bUt to convey to you the fame con falat'rou I feel when you shall hava arrived at the fame point I have—Yes, where I now am, you will be ; you will inhabit this very - prison ! why not as well as myfelf ? I did aot think that I fliould more than yoa do now. In a war of party, it is a crifne, in the eyes of one's opponets, to discharge one's duty well ; yo% do now, and of course you are fliarpening the daggeis of your enemies against vou. " It is true, that it is needless to prove to yon, that you will come here, because you mufl be here to read thsfe lines : you •will, without doubt, have this apartment, because the keeper is an , honefl man, and ■will certainly give you the best, as he has given me." MILITARY OPERATIONS. Review or tbk Campaign in Switzer- LAKD. It was upon the frontiers of Switzerland that the danger was the molt pressing : and that it was the most easy to fend reinforce ments, wii'ich Arriving successively by differ - ent* routes, were diredted at the fame time to the centre and wings of Maffena's army, while the Archduke coold only receive the Ruffian aivifions by Schaffhaulen, in the rear of his right, and all at once, at a fixed and known epo£h. This augmentation of force, would of crurfe be very considerable, and composed of good troop», particularly infantry j but it was their firft essay in a mountain war, in which they were to be immediately employed ; they could not be compared ta those corps a>f Austrian troops, mixed with mountaineers, Tyrolefe and Swiss, xviio had defended the Voralberg, re conquered the Grifotisand St. Gothard, and the greater part of the small cantons. Gen. Suwarrow, having undertaken and covering at once the of Coni and Tortona, which mult be followed by the taking of Genoa, and complete the career of his conquest in Jtaly, could not, till General Kray's corps had joined him, reftr.re to the Archduke the army of General Bellugarde, who had besides fuffered much : and ths feeble diver {ion which he had dire&ed General Hadilick to make on the fide of the Valais, was not fufficient to enable the Archduke to flatter himlelf with re-eftablifhtng the balance be tweea his force and that of Maficna, if the latter could acl before the arrival of the Ruffians. Maffena in faft attacked, and gained a great advantage ; he fulfilled his part of the operations agreed upon, and en tirely removed the left wing of the Ayftrian army* Joubert and Moreau, on the con trary, found Suwarrow still superior ill number, reinforced by, General Kray, whom the speedy surrender of Mantua had permit ted to join the grand army. They were defeated. Although General Maffena had for foine time received orders from the new directors to re fume the offenfive immediately, he re ft Red. th? indifereet eagerness of his govern ment, incurred their anger, and received or ders to give up the csmmand ef the army. Having calculated thjj degree of speed which the Ruffian troops ccold ufr, he preferred the wife resolution of maturing his plan, and offtriking; a blow which would be so much the furesr by its being delayed, because each day increafecl his numerical force without the Archduke having been able to prevent h'lft nor procure the fame advantage himfelf. It appears also, that the want of resources, md the difficulty of fvibfiftence in a country exhausted by two great armies, and not pro ductive, had retarded his reinforcements, and even disgusted of the army. It was on the 17th August, that the firft column of the Ruffian army of twenty fix thovfand men, under General Rimfki Kor fakow, %'ere to arrive at Sehaff haufer ; it •was on the 1 ith thaj Mafiena commenced his movement : he had re-inforced his right wing, commanded by General Lecourhe, as much as he could, without too much unco vering his centre, oppolite Zurich, and ■weakening his left, Ciretching to the Rhi.ie. As he proposed to detach that right wing en tirely from the centre, to render his march es, manoeuvres, and attacks on the whole mass of the great Alps, from the Valais to the Lake of Zurich, entirely independent, he endeavored to fix, on the opposite fide, the attention of the Archduke, and fucceed*d in concealing from him, by very warm.attacks on the centre of his pofit'ion, the reinforce ments Tvjiich he had sent General Lecourbe, and prevented him from putting in pra&ice the fame manoeuvre 011 his left, and frobi j supporting Generals Jdlachich and Simfchen. •She latter occupied, on the Upper Reufs, • and in the fptice between St. Gathard and Lake Zurich,.only the principal points of a chain ot two extenlive petitions ; thef; dif ferent which altogether did not ex ceed 20,000 men, could neither f<srin fuffi cient reserves to check the columns which attempted to cut off their communications, not tulfain themselves by their own (Irength, notwithstanding ttie advantages of the ground in isolated pofb, or in camps, which might be turned and taken ill the rear, by a supe rior force. On the 12th and 13th of Aguft General Maffena encouraged some affairs of advanced pofls in the environs of Badens On the 14th at day break, favored by a thick fog, he pudied one column beyond the Limau It carried firtt one of the grand guards, pene trated into the camp of the cavalry, where a regiment of dragoons, and some (quadion of huflars had to fultain a very warm attack in which they fufFered considerable loss. This surprise spread alarm at Zurich—The Ftench had pulh-;d to the outlets of the city, and had made their way to the rrar of some points of the line ; attacked in their 'urn by supe rior forces, and taken 111 flank by two batteries they defended thcrafe'.ves mofl ob flinately ; much blood was shed, and un fortunately, the Swiss in the two armies met and r.harged with fury ; at length Gen. MafTc-na withdrew his columns to the left of the Limat, and on the 15th, the centre of each army was in its old position. During this attack, all the columns on the right, whose total force on this fide and on the other of the Lake of Lucerne was, including in it the divifi3n of Thureau in the Valais, about 30,000 men, broken up at once, and proceeded -ag&inft the pofls oc cupied by the imperialitls. 1 he French di-vifion, commanded by ge neral Chabran, palled the Sihl, surprised or drove back the Austrian posts on the weftem fide of' Lake Zurich, afcendcd the heights of Richterfwyl, Etzel antTSchindeleggi, tnrned and attacked with advantage a pretty con siderable Auflrian corps, which occupied the strong position between Lachen and Ein fielded (notre dame des bermiies). —This intermediate corps, between the Austrian army and the left wing, which, oscupying the course of the Rfcufs, covwed the cantons ot Schwi;z and Uri, was almofi, all either (.deftroyed, difpcrfed, or taken. It was j under the orders of general Jellachich ; the | l3;«r, obliged to abandon Ms posts on Lake t Z.MtVcJv, qpulii pot eve* keep the port of Rap perfchwyl ; lie left-open the canton of Gla rus, and fell back on the centre of the army ; the French pufhi-ng their advanced guards even in fight of Plcfficon, threatened the po ; lition of Zurich. This fir ft success checked I the communication of the reft of the Arch duke's left wing with the centre of his army, ,and favored the movements, and attacks of general Lecourbe upon Schwitz, and the course of the Re life frpm AltdorfF to Mount St. Gothard—the developement ofthisfrsnt of attack was from 18 ,to 20 common leagues (11 German miles.) To follow with Line re ft the brilliant and lingular expedition of general Lecourbe upon the Reuse, it is necessary to observe atten tively the mass of the high Alps, the £»n ftaiit march of nature in the formation of those mafTes, and ever uniform in her moll imperceptible labors: every wnere do the laws of gravitation disclose and explain her secrets. The waters, falling from the high er parts, where the r<fervoirs are as it were suspended, produce every where fijnilar effeftj, and according to their volume, their mass, and their current, furrow more or less deeply the furface of the globe, divide terri tories and feparats mountain*. Thus, in the great Alps, the torrents, es caping from beneath snow and ice, fall in different directions ihto vatlies so narrow and so deeply -excavated by the rapid fall and ravages of thfir wavers, thst the declivities of these enchained mountains render them -inaccessible' in every other direction than that of the bed of the torrents which have forced their paffige—lt is neceflary then to ascend to their very source, to the common level, to be able to penetrate from one val ley into another, to choose between them, to command tliofe ifTues, to open or ffiut at will thofe 1 Garners Which the caprice of tilt waters has raised between -those mafles bro ken and fcpurated in the explosions of the globe. It is true, that :he very caprice may have opened in these great declivities I'orae lateral itfues, by which we may communicate from ore great valley to another, by follow ing the course of brooks,, and fuzing their point of contratt, or their level oh oppolite fides ; but it may be conceived, that these communications mufl be rare, and more re plete with difficulties and o'bftaclcs, titan the high principal vallies. The late decree of the French consulate withdrawing all further supplies for the maintenance of their prisoners, wasextreme 1/ fuducn and unexpe&ed ; as only a few days before M. Vtrigeaux, the banker, re mitted to Mr. Hammerfley, 60,0001. 011 this account, with a promise that the payments fliould be regularly made in future. Capt. Swinburne alio brought over a bill of ex change for I leol. for the fame if rvice. A (lory is current in the higher circles, that Buonaparte ha» written a letter to the Grand Signior, to afTure him that it never was his intention to fettle in Egypt, but that the French went thither to punilh the Mamelukes. It is said that he willies to withdraw the army, and ta make peace with the Porte. It is a Ruffian, and not a Britifti force, that has for some time pa ft blockaded the port of Genoa.

RAN-AWAY from the Stibfcribcr, at New towr, Chelier Ferry, Queen Anne's coun ty, state of Maryland, the following negroes, viz. a woman named Nanny, went away on the 13d January, 1799, a "d took with her a Mulat to temile child, about two years old, named Ariav na. Nanny is a daik yellow negro, about five feet four or five inches high, rem:rkably handsome for a negro. Her cloathing unknown as (he took a variety of good cloaths with her— (he went ofTwith a nrgro fellow, named Peter, and calls himfelf Peter Simpfon, he is the pro perty of 1 certain William Bowers of Talbot county, dale as above, v> ho has advertised one hundred dollars reward for him. Peter is a flout well made yellow fellow, about 6 feet one inch h ph, is a tolerable goor! Carpenter. Nanny paflea for his wilt, but her rial hulbmd is n<i med Bub, who belongs to her mailer. It is probab'ethey are in the neighbourhood of Sa ltm in the Jei fits, as they were there :h Odlo ber last, and by information, Peter had built himfelf an house to live m, between Rum Bridge and Gold Town ; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have pafies, as Feter can write a middling hand ; it is pro vable Nanny has anotherchild, as it was jhought (he was in a preghant state when lhc went away. 'I he noted Ferry-man Charles, who'calls him fe!f Chirles Rodney ; he went off on the 18th of February lafl, he is a dark mulatto, about five feet eight or nine inches high, about forty yeirs old, ftoope in hisftioulders when he walks, a icar on his head very perceivable—he took with him a small bay mare about 4 or 5 years years old, her m -ne trimmed and bob tsil'd j his cloathing unknown, ae he carried off a va riety ofcloahs ; it is probable he has changed his name, as he is a vfrv artful, fcnfible fellow, he cau read tolerably well ; it is likely he may hire himfelf to drive a wrgge n, being well ac quainted with that business, driving for the ar my during the war j he also perhaps may have a pass.
