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,

..." '** 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

" It is true, that it is needless to prove

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.
It is reported that the Ex-Diredlor Bar
t'nelemy has applied to the Consulate for
leave to return to Fiance. Ihould he be re
futed that perm (Hon, it is said, he will go

RAN-AWAY from the Stibfcribcr, at New

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.
The above reward will be given for the afore
faid tw<> negroes, viz. Nanny and Charles, if

WATER-OFFICE.
Centre Square, Febeaary 5, 1800.
IN compliance with the inftruftions of the
Committee for watering the ehy, and with
my own inclinations, every possible admit
tance and inforniaTion has been given to
those citizens who have visited the Works
during their prog i t fs. The Engines are now
arrived, and arc immediately to be put up,
and it is hoped that it will be thought rca
fonuble and just, both to the Public, and to
the Contrafior for the Engines, that the
workmen Ihould not be interrupted. As a
very few months will fully gratify the cu
riosity of the citizens, by (liewing them the
Engines in full operation, a temporary ex
chifion of all visitors from the Engine houfas
cannot appear improper. A
