Mr. Roc tae bitnfelf, exhaufted aid on the point of finking (having been in the water, as he thinks, nearly an hour), was refcued from this hopelefs condition by force people who difcovered him and heard his cries, while they were at work in a field not far from the river. .~ PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 8. Trade has been very briar for Tome time bygone, specially to the Spanith and French colonies, not avithilanding we are quite deluged with EngMb goods. It looks as if the Englith had no other nation to fend their goods to. Brian* goods of every fort, particularly muffins, linens, tapes, and thread, fell far lower here, I am certain, than they can be manufactured in Britain. The Britifh mer chants will find a great lots in their trade in the United States. There have been a great many failures in New York of late. Provifions are fall ing very fait . — lf there is no demand from Britain, they will be very low this year. Our crop was very great. . , GERMAN r. VIFNNA, DECEMBER s. The Dole or W. RTIMIIRG having complain. ' ed to the Aulic Council again(' the States. the latter have been reprimanded for their application to a foreign Power; and have alfo been directed to refer the difputes (till prevailing between them and the Discs to the regular courfe of the laws, according to the aablifhed Conflitution of the Empire. For this purpofe the Aulic Council has named a fpecial Commillion, to which the States mutt fend deputies; and the latter are ordered to Areal their Commiffioner, Mr. ABEL, whom they Rill have at Paris. By a Court decree of the ill of December, the Est raaoa,in order toprevent fpeculations of grain, and to encourage competition among the felfei s in the hereditary States, has, without reference to the already exiting prohibition of the exportation of feveral particular articles of provifion, ordered a general prohibition with refpee to the following, artieles--wheat, rye, oats, and all other kinds of grain and pulfe, hay and firaw, meal, butter, freih or fah, bacon, bu .cher's meat, and cattle defined for flaughter, large and (mall ; tallow, candles, and foap.

DUSSELDORF. DEC. S. Our Government has at IA received permit- Ilan from that of France to flip 70,000 cwt. of corn from the Palatinate, for the necetlities of the inhabitants aad the military of this place. It is, however, flipulated, that when the cargo has been examined and certified, and the lacks fealed, it hall not be unladen on the way at Mentz and Co logne, and that all culloms, tolls, and other du ties fhall be paid as before the war. The Coun fellor of the EleOoral Domains, LUNZiN, 1174 brought this about at Mentz. SUABIA, DEC. 4. It is remarkable that the Ecclefianical founda tions in Suabia, which have bi_come vacAni, follow the example of Cologne and Munger, and without much deliberation proceed to new eleetions. They tied the molt learned and efficient men, which hitherto has not been the cafe : a proof of this is the late eleftion of the Bit op of Elchingcn, and the Prince Abbot of St. Blafiau. The lilt in cumbent of the latter died on the loth, and on the isoth, I'AT. ROTTLER, a MAO of Wine& and great atlivity, was chofen in his place. The negociations between the Courts of Vienna and Munich have, as it is afferted, been entirely broken off by the arrival of a courier from Paris in the latter city. On account of the impending change in the German Empire, and in relation to the bulinefs of the indemnities, preparations will be made for the general alfembly of the States of the Circle.

He s going to Lyons with the CHIEF CONSUL. The commercial houfe of Fatties, Ocws, and Gar muLLER, at Vienna, are about to ellablifh a cotton manufattory there, in which each machine will Ipin 140 threads. Some Englifhmen, domi ciliated in the Aulliian capital, have already made forrfe of thefe initruments, which anfwered perfelt ly well upon trial. Great fums of money, which were remitted from the Hereditary States for ma nufaCtures of this fort, will confcquently remain iu Jicm. The Aufirian army is now nearly reduced to the peace ellAblithment. Comprifing the free corps, tiny thoufand men have been difcharyd. Prince Cti A atss is at prefent occupied in proyeaing tome changes in the cavalry. An !mistrial Decree of the t a init. prohibits the exportation of grain, cattle, butter, and foap, from the Aultrian territories, under the penalty of con fifcation. The //Unifier for Foreign Affairs tet out yeller day for Lyons. We learn from that city, that the great number of foreigners there bas confiderably increafed the price °fledging'. This circtunfiance will make money circulate, and do a great dcal of good to thit part of the country. We learn from Lyons, that almoti all the Cifal pine Deputies are arrived there.

It was Laid too yellerday that Admiral Lacaos la had ar• rived at Liverpool from Guadaloupe, having made his efcape from the ifland. It is certain that the letters received at Liverpool agree with thofe that come to London direaly from the Weft Indies, in the reports about the infurreEtion of the Blacks. If it be true that Admiral LACROSSE bararrived, there can be no doubt of the fuccefs of this Rebel lion, which Inuit threaten dangerous confequences. Indeed there are rumours in circulation that the fpirit of anarchy and revolt which a feries of, folly, violence and mifrule has produced in the French Hands, where neither freedom nor autho rity have esifled for fo long a period, has in fome degree threatened to fpread to other Wands. We trutt the rumours, as happens often in fuch cafes, are greatly exaggerated, if not wholly unfounded. Yefterday accounts were received in town, by the way of Li►erpool, from Martinique, dated in November. The firlt accounts of the Peace arriv ed the 16th of that month, and the confirmation of the Preliminaries having been figoed on the 18th. The intelligence was of courfe not very agreeable to the Englifh inhabitants of an ifland about to be ceded to France. We are lorry to fay that a confiderable mortality prevailed in Mar tinique, particula rly amonga the military—it bad indeed been fo great that the Volunteers had for fame time been obliged to aflift in the garrifon duty. From Jamaica accounts have likevtife been re ceived by the !aft packet, of the date of the :ft of November, which bring very diftrang accounts of the ravages of the yellow fiver, particularly amongft the troops. Lord BALcaaaas was to take his pall:Age home in the RivaillUTlON, which was to fail early in November, with a convoy from Port Royal. The feafon swat highly favour. able to the planters, but more than commonly un. healthy. There was a great with at Jamaica for Peace, the intelligence of which would probably loon arrive after the date of the above letters, to throw a gleam of eonfolation over the misfortunes under which they laboured there. Lord 13101011, fon of Marquis Coanwaws, at. rived at Dover on I'uefday morning from Amiens, hich place he left on Sunday. In the fame packet with his Lordthip came alfo two King's A:flingers, and two French Couriers with ail patches for M. OTTO. Government has appointed a Board of Health, for the purpofe of examining the Rate of the troops and veftels arriving from foreign Rations, parti cularly from Egypt; and they have felated fome of the moft experienced of the Medical Officers for this duty. Sir JoHN Hayes, Dr. Wit,, Dr. PINC•RD and Dr. SUTTON,Jeft town 00 Tuefday to proceed to Spithead. The troops recently returned from Egypt are to be Rationed at Canterbury and Alhford, where preparations are making for the reception of .scxxi men, including Soo Artillery. The Lanark Militia now at MuiTelburgh and Dalkeith have received a route for Linlithgow. A letter received by the !hip Union, lately ar rived from Fort Marlborough, contains an ac count of the death of Jussaaaaa, the Paugerran of Silkbur, in Sumatra. His eldeft fon, named CASOOMAH, a minor, under thirteen years of age, has been ineefted with the dignities of his father, the Chiefs of the country having eleded him as fuceeffor. On the eighth day of January lafl, be;ng the period appointed for the ceremony, the young Chief was prefented by RAJAH BOVII3OO, at a full and general afetnbly of the Proatteens, who created him, according to the elkablifhed cur tom, PAVOIRRAM (RAJMIk under a faints of nine poi, whit the title of Ara RAJAH. RAJAH Rom soo is appointed Pamangko, or Regent,during the minority of the PAU° , which Regency is to expire on the day NATA RAJAH may come of age, which is fixed at eighteen years. The de eeafed RAJAH was firmly attached to the Englith, and very attentive to the cultivation of the pepper rtrdens. jumaitaan has died without a will, icaiing. three tons, eight h tots, 4ve wives, and three concubines.
