are victorious. | Had they gained no 
ground, their fuccefs might have been 
queftioned. The Auftrians appear to dil- 
pute every inch of ground ; the fighting 
1s not yet concluded ; nor can it be known 
with whom the vidtory will finally rett; 
though it at prefent inclines much tothe 
fide of the French. | The line of Stockach 
is frong and important. It is the key to 
' Suabia, opening a fhort road tothe Auftrian 
magazines, to the Tyrol, &c. and we know 
that horfe can act there, as the Archduke 
gained his victories on that fpot lait year 
by his fuperiority of cavalry. 
From Italy we have nothing official: but 
if we may believe private accounts,the Auf- 
trians attackedSt. Pierred’ Arena, a fuburb 
clofe under the walls of Genoa and within 
the lines of fome of the outworks. ‘They 
failed in the attack ; but we learn from this 
and other Sera aices how clofely the 
French are blocked up in Genoa. TheGer- 
man Gazettes, quoted in the Paris Papers, 
affert that Maffena has offered to capitulate. 
Bonaparte no fooner received intelligence 
of Moreau’s fir fuccefs, than, eafy on 
that point, he next day fet oft from Paris 
to Dijon, a diftance of nearly 200 miles, 
which Hie travelled in twenty-five hours. 
RUSSIA, 
The feceffion of this power from the con- 
_federacy is at length fully afcertained to 
be complete. It is to co-operate in no 
one point or refpect whatfoever ; and even 
the troops which were in Britifh pay, and 
in the Britifh territory, are fully believed 
to be recalled. There is alfo a private 
mifunder ftanding between the Emperor 
and Sir Charles Whitworth, in confequence 
of which the latter has found himfelf un- 
der tke neceflity of requefting permiffion 
to return home. We know not the im- 
mediate caule of this difpute: but our 
own! confidential intelligence attributes it 
to a circumftance altogether trifling and 
. fubordinate; and we have little doubt byt 
fuch will be found the fact. It is in con- 
{equence of this total feceffion on the part 
of Ruffia that the intended Expedition is 
fiid to be rel quifhed. Suwarrow is now 
iiated to be alive, and to have arrived at 
Peterfburgh, where he is again about to be 
received by the capricious {mile of Court 
favour. 
AMERICA. 
The expenditure of the Government of 
the United States of America for the year 
tSoo is eftimated by the Secretary of the 
Treafury. at 15,393,034 dollars ; the re- 
venue at 10,301,295 dollars ; leaving to 
be provaded for §3091)775 dollars. In 
State of Public Affairs in May, 1800: 
493 
this etimate is included the fum of 600,000 
dollars for building fix fhips of 74 guns 
each, and the fum appropriated to raifing 
twelve regiments of infantry, and fix troops 
of horfe; the further enlifting of which 
will probably be foon flopped ; an act for 
that purpofe having already paffed the 
Houle of Reprefentatives. There remained 
in the treafury at the time of making the 
report. 2,159,377 dollars ; of which one 
millior being eftimated as due on account 
of the laft year, there remained 1,159,377 
dollars towards the.deficiencies of the pre- 
fent. Phe committee of ways and means, al- 
lowing for deduétions in the expences of 
arming, &c. was of opinion,that the excels 
of expenditure would not be more than 
three millions and a half, and propofed that 
that fum be raifed by a loan; recommend- 
ing atthe fame time that fone meafures 
be adopted. gradually to extinguifh the 
debt. 
Captain Barry reached ee ee ak 
difpatel res from Mefirs. Ellfworth and 
Davie, Envoys to the French Republic, 
dated the roth of February at Burgos in 
Spain. ‘They received their paflports the 
preceding day from M. ‘Valleyrand. the 
Minifter for foreign affairs, inclofed in a 
letter, expreffing impatience for their ar- 
rival at Paris. 
Several attempts have lately been made 
to fet the city of Charleftown on fire. 
Five hundred dollars are offered for con- 
victing the offender. 
EAST INDIES. 
A large body of the licentious troops of 
the Bermahs have lately made inroads into 
the Chittagong province, and, under pre- 
tence of apprehending fome emigrants who 
were faid to have fled from Arracan, have 
} . . . 
committed the moft alarming outrages in 
the villages, where they have not only plun- - 
dered the detencelefs inhabitants of their 
cattle and efie&is, but fet fire to feveral 
cottages; in coniequence of which, Lieut, 
Hall had been deputed to go to the fron- 
tiets of Aya, in order to make fome ar- 
rangements with the Bermahs. He has full 
powers to treat for delivering up the fugi- 
tives, if the explanation fhiall prove fice 
factory. 
According to a reprefentation lately 
made to the Supreme Government, it ap- 
pears that there are no lefs than fix mil- 
lions of people o! different defcriptions em- 
ployed in the manufaéture of cotton in 
India, who require nothing more for their 
fervices than food and protection.
