We learn by the master of 20 eastern sloop which arrived here on Monday, the fallowing par ticulars; for their correeness we cannot vouch— the eastern papers are silent on the subject: That an Ei.glish privateer, of I 5 gans, from St. John's, had come into the Jurkilidion of the United States, at a place called Snug Cave, near Passama quaddy, where lay a coasting vessel belonging to Harriwell,Captain Merriman. An officer and men from the privateer came on hoard Capt. M. and in an insolent manner ordered bim to call Lis p.ople on deck, (they being below, fearing the intention of the privateersmen,) which Capt. M. refused.— The officer said he would be d—d if he did not have some of them ; he then proceeded to open the hatches, at which instant the Americans below told him if he attempted to descend they would shoot him. Not regarding the ceutiln, he wte about to effect his purpoce, when the mess below, as good as their word, let drive, and shot three balls through him, when he fell instant ineously dead. hew the affair terminated, our informant does not know. JLLY A letter dated Nrrfelk, July 17, says, that the Ches.prah will he fit for service in ten days. A Philacf:lphi.s paper obser►es, is We are inform ed that Capt.

Beckman, navy agent of this city, under command of Capt. Hull, of the Navy, with sealed orders. It is said she is bound to Gibraltar, to call home the American squadron from the Me diterranean. We are informed, upon good antbo.ity, that the S cretary of the War D-pastrnent has, by express, been ordered hack to ‘Vashingtm from Ncw-York, and that he has passed through this city on his way to the seat of Government.—/P 51 .

The above information may he relied on as cor refl. It comes from unquesti.in ible authority ; the letter contaiiiing it is from ;,n ()dicer of the United States, who was a v. limess to the a& MORTOIK, JULY le. Yesterday afternoon a detachment Iron the bat talion of cavalry under the command of Major 111 , 11ae, set cll . for the Ett.tern shore of Princess Anne, where we are informed the squadron under the commant‘of Commodore Douglas rides song at anchor close under the shore. If these doughty veterans, Douglas, Hardy, Humphries, &e. are dis• poqd to try the sprit of Virginia , they will have an opportunity, and we have no doubt but they will re quire all the slain irs they ever gainei on the ocean, to wash away the cti94t see they will meet with on the landfrorn the ere of thew patriotic tons of Vir ginia. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY, SgrreNßEN The Rome, schooner, is arrived at F.lmouth, with the long expeaed thipatches front the A ane• rican Passim:Pr, relative to the affair ly:varen the Leopard aid the Chewed,. The l(e.enge had pre viously touched at Brest, where the 1 ind.:d dis patches for the French Government. It is stated, in the Arnelicati G.vernornt Pap•rs, that the •Rerrtige is sent to England with diyatches to the Ministers, direaing" them to deasand of the Bluish Government an explicit and Immediate dis avoa•al of the outrage which has been ralun.red op.!. the American flag by the and an a.n p;e I,:parttion for the injny ; and in case of non,. cluipli.ince with this deraand, the Ministers are to leave the Court, and retort, home in th.: Rem:v.- 1c is added, verbally, eta the authority of persons who are said to be in the secrets 'of ;he American Cabinet, that Congress are not to be convened until the time at which the rem.n of the Revenge is to be expelted. The Cheerful cutter is arrived at Falmouth from Lisbon, in seven days, with di , patehes. Private letters represent that •lace under considerable ap prehension from the French.—Some state that they have demanded an exorbitant sum, with a threat, 131 case di refusal, to shut the ports et Portugal against the English. Compliance will only pur chase a respite. Other accounts state, that Poi-tuial is to be annexed to Spain. We have received New-York papers to the 28th July. The spirit of hostility against England (Jeri not appear to have abated in Amok*. Public meet. ings, military enrolments, and preparations of all kinds, were continued with the greatist possible ac. tivity. It is now sad, that Commodore Doeo:.“ did not as to V: t:lringtrn, and the report that Mr. ERSKtMe was tl - .:re when a discussit.n took place with Mr. Ni4D.SON. in %Mal Mr. IiaSILINIC cots. seated to wave all claim to the seamen taken by the Leopard. is also sutural:led, by tire authority of that Gentleman, who denies that his opinion was ever asked, or that he ever gave any opinion upon the truhjell. The report that two English midshipmen and three stairs, who laniel near the Capes of Virginia. for water, have been taken primates, is repeated in t..ese Papers. it is also said, that the Captain of en English privateer, of la pins, was shot at Newbury port, in attempting to search an American vessel. It is said that, on application to ti.e Secretary of the Treasury, on the subject of the President's Pro clamation, he has advised, that its prohibitions are not meant to include British merchant vessels, al though armed, and bearing letters of marque. The Ameri:an Papers contain several letters from Canton, in China, from the 4th of March to the 24th, inclusive, stating that a serious miionder standing had taken place between the Chinese and the English, al Canton, in consequence of the death of two Chinese, killed in an affray with the sailors of the Neptune. The Chinese had demanded one of the Neptune's crew in reparation ; but this demand being peremptorily refused, the Chinese threatened hostilities, and the British Fa Rory had determined to send the ships to England with such cargo as was then on board, although it scarcely amounted to ballast.
