PHILADELPHIA, At7o. 26. tNTERMEN2S in the Burial-GroundS of the City, Northern Liberties, and Southwark, during the last twenty-four hours, ending Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, Adults 3, Childien g.—Total The two last days have been extremely 'Warm.— Yesterday the Thermometer in the shade *as at by which it appears to be the hottest day, 'eicept one, we have had these four years. Aucusr 30.--In the course of last week the burials in this City and Liberties, amount only to r 9 adults, a number below the average in the healthiest .years. NEW.TORK, SEPT. Z. Accounts from Cape trancois say, that the mor tality continues to be very great amongst the Euro- Peao troops in St. Domingo. General Leclerc was preparin g to return to France, his health being much impaired. The command was to devolve on General llugua. The Health Committee of Portsmouth (N. H.), state on the u.th inst. that no new case of fever bad happened within the last twelve days, that the Town was remarkably healthy, and that the few eases of malignant fever which had occurred, were evidently sporadic. Advices received from New-Orleans, by t h e b r i g Hunter, state, that the City was very healthy for the s!ason, no symptom of Malignant Fever having .occurred as late as the t 7th ult. - No official ac t ounts had been received at New-Orleans respeet, ing the Cession of Louisiana, when the Hunter tailed. Having seen different accounts of the Aftion said to have t kan place between Captain M'Neil and a Tunisian squadron; we have been induced to enquire more particularly than we otherwise should, of Captain Norman ; of the Brigantine }lope, of this port, who arrived here about ten days past from Trieste; he states that he came through the Straits of Messina and landed at that City, where he was informed that a courier had passed for Naples from Syracuse the preceding day; who - gave the following account—That seven Tunisians were in chase of a Neapolitan Frigate, that Captain M'Neil passed with the Boston Fri gate between the Tunisians and the chase, which incensed the Tunisian Commodore, who fired into the Boston ; the fire was returned, and the A6tion became general between the Squadron and the Bos. ton. The result of the A6lian was the sinking of two of the 'Tunisians, the dismasting of two others, 'and the flight of the remaining three. The Boston put into Syracuse much injured. Several of her Officers and Men had been killed. A number of the principal Sachems, Chiefs and IN'arriors of the Seneca Nation of Indians, from Buf-', fake's Creek, visited Albany last week ; and we are informed have concluded a Treaty with that State, by which they cede their title to all the lands reserved along the Niagara River from Buffaloe's Creek to Stedman's Farm, including Blade Rock. This is doubtless a great acquisition to that State, as well as to the 'United States, not only on account of the value of the lands, but also as it secures the Carrying Place at the Niagara Falls, and the most advaatageous situation for establishing a Military Post to guard that important pass. On Monday morning z3d inst. abput five o'clock, a smart shock of an Earthquake was felt in Rich- Inond, (Vit.) by many of its inhabitants: Its noise resembled that of the roaring of a chimney on fire, or the rolling of a carriage on stone pavement. ReittOLX., ♦UG. 24. $y the Revenue Cutter, Capt. HAM, we are in. fltirmed, that on Friday last she spoke a Brig bound to Fredericsburgh, 63 days from Marseilles, the Captain of which informed, that the day before he sailed, the United States Schooner Enterprixe ar rived there, after an Aftion with a Tripolital , Ves sel, which he beat off'. The Vessel made . her es- Gape by her oars, it having fallen calm. The para_ culars we are not at present able to learn. ; ' CHARLESTOWN, AUG. 14. We arc informed that the rains have been very %ea vy•in .the upper country f o r fifteen or twenty days past; the creeks were sa) swelled by them, that a great deal of injury has been done to the kills ; not a dam was left standing within twenty miles of Columbia last week., The Congaree river had risen considerably, but had not got without its limits ; it was on the fall when the post left Co. knibia on Monday. JAMAICA. XINGSTON, AUG. 20. YFSTERDAr was tried and conviaed before the Sitting Magistrates, a Mulatto Man Slave named belonging to the Post-Office, for stealing thereaut Atter addressed to a Mercantile House in this town, and sentenced to receive 24 lashes this mon:nig, opposite the Post-Office. --At Sea, on the 13th of May last, Mr. • Roberts ; he had been many years Overseer 'Yon Perrin's Estate, in Vere. In this town IVi.aster John Aikman, son of Mr. Andrew Aik- Alan. One of our Constant Readers writes us word, that the circumstances of the AMERICAN TRAVEL LERS, which we related yesterday from WELD, Puts hind in mind of his • own dangers, in passing t 'vei* . t) . le, IVloun tains of Genoa, during the night, on a inure;.; at the edge of a precipice, one thousand feet aboie' the roaring Sea below, during a violent storm, the lanterns blown out, and the road so broken • and . dangerous, that every eight or ten remotes the Corriere cried out, " Alla montagua -41 Ia m9ntagna, Signore!"--meaning that he was to alight, rind surrender his .Mule to the Patina, a , kind of Runnin g F ootman , purpose l y atten di ng to lead the Mule on such occasions, whilst the Tra. !eller clung to the Mountain, or crawled on all fours, by groping his way with his hands, as - well as he could. dysnit LAYINGS. AT . the Essex Quartetkessions; holder. at Chelms_ ford on Wednesday last, Pobert FarA?r, after a trial of seven hours, arias found guilty of stealing in the 'night, by the help of a cutter and a dredge, several bushels of Oysters, the property of, and from the lay ings of Mrs. Overall, of Mersea Conn eel for the Defendant argued with great ingenuity, to shew that these Oyster Laying:, which are rent ed, and stocked with purchased Oysters, were not a species of property distind from the Oyster Fisheries, cOMmon to all dredgers, and thsrefore larceny could not attach on the clandestine reinoval of the same. The Court, however, ruled: it 'otherwise ; but as the Chief Justices Lords MA:or' LLD and LOUGH toitorcii, at the Essex Assizes, had declared the law differently on this point, the former conviding, and the latter direEing the Jury to acquit prisoners respettively charged with felony for this offence, the Court; on the motion of the Prisoner's Counsel, consented to an arrest of judgment, that this im portant case may be more solemnly argued before the Twelve Judges. In the mean while, the Pri soner was ordered to be recommitted to the County Gaol. Government, We understand, have come to the determination of making an Establishment on the Island of Bulam, oh the Coast of Africa. It will be recoileCied that twelve years ago some private Adventurers Went out thither, and having made a purchase of the Island from the Natives, settled on a very favourable spot in it. This settle_ meet took place under the spirited and enterprizing conduei of Lieutenant (now Captain) BEAVER, Of the - Royal Navy. He built a temporary Fort, and had ,complete and quiet possession of the whole Island ; but from want of means' to prosecute the plan, it was for the time given up; and the few Ad_ venturers who were With Mr..BEAVER, returned to England, or removed to Sierra Leone. The Island of Bulam is perhaps the healthiest and most advan tageous spot for a British Colony of any in Africa, and we have no doubt hut that, under the protec tion and auspices of Govermrient, it nity , soon become flourishing and profitable. Captain BEAVER, we learn, with,great satisfaction, will he appoin:ed to concluft the enterprize r and make the propt.sed establishment, and we are certain it cannot bt: in fitter hands. The Honourable JONATHAN DUNCAN, Governor of Butribay, was at Cambay when the late overland Dispatch was forwarded from that Presidency.-- Messrs. CARNAC and CHERRY were in charge of .the Settlement. Cambay is a very large city, in the Province of Guzerat. It stands on a deep and dan gerous Gulf of the same name, and was the Camanes of Ptolemy. Its produCis and manufaaures are in ferior to few towns in India ; for the country abounds in corn, cattle, and silk. • The inhabitants are noted for embroidery, and some of their quilts have been valued at fifty pounds. It is subject to the Poonah Mahrattas, and is 57 miles South of Amedabad. Letters have been received by the Ex press from Bombay, dated as late as the i Ith of May last. M. TALIAYRAND PEttrcoito, though he speaks with indignation of the manner in which he was sent out of this Country by the late Ministers, yet mentions with much respea the talents and the cha rader of Mr. PITT as a Minister. in a late con versation with some English Gentlemen, he gave it apparently as his free opinion, that the vigour and promptitude of Mr. PITT had not only saved this Country, but were indirealy the means of rescuing France from the devastating power which ravaged her bosom, and defaced her territory. This praise from a quondam enemy went to t'he further length of saying, " that both Countries lay under an equal obligation to the late Premier for his councils and condua." The Count Von der PAH is iN , (who appears by the Newspapers to be now at Paris) has been for- Merly a man of so much importance, that the fol. lowing Anecdote, which relates to his rise in Rus sia, may not be deemed uninteresting. In the latter part of the reign of the Empress CATVARtNE, he was only a Lieutenant in the Army_:, - The needy Officers are generally chosen for couriers,,;and7the Lieutenant Von der ?ARLEN was in all respeas , qualified for the employ. He was ordered with certain dispatches of great importance from St. Peterslattgh to Stock holm, and furnished with the necessary money for his expences on the road. , Unluckily as it,appeared, he had, like many others of his profession, an extra vagant penchant to play, and the same evening he lost at the gaming-table the whole of the money that was to have defrayed his expences. • Knowing himself unable eo procure a like sum, he took his part immediately. He set off the same night for Cronstadt, found a vessel just ,sailing for Stockholm, and being favoured by the winds, arrived two days sooner than the usual Couriers. The Russian Mi nister profited by this dispatch, but in a few days began to suspecl the affair. He obliged the Lieu , tenant to confess the whole, but was too well pleased with the result to punish him. On the contrary, he sent him back to the Empress with a relation of his adventure, and a strong recommen dation to favour.. These' circumstances, at a Rus sian Court, could not but be advantageous, he was gently reprimanded by the Empress, and promoted. The importation of Negro Slaves into the island of St. Helena, was prohibited by the late Governor, Colonel BaooKi: those in the island, however, continue the property of their masters, and are sub jed to moderate castigation, ' The last accounts frOm Passau mention, that the Prince Bishop has reduced his Arm.xtoilvem:y Men. If the new Spring at Cheltenhanv really possesses the prolific qualities ascribed to'it, it deserves the notice of the Legislature, as a - Most valuable source of Population. Its chief pr*rty, and an extra.' ordinary one it is, is, - that of affe&ing the Consti tution of Female Patients for exac'lly nine months ! The magnificent State Bed, which is to be placed in the State Bedchamber of the Mansion-house, is said . to be in the Egyptian style. The introduc tion d these fashions is certainly ill-judged in the City Chief Magistrates, for by accustoming their wives to Eastern habits, they may afterwards be dissatisfied with Home fare. POLICE,OFICE, . .nSTERtiAiri a Coah.merchant of the name fof ATe-anoz was summoned before the Magistrates, for removing Coals from Peacoek's Wharf to Croy_ dote, without their having been measured by, a Sworn Meter, contrary to AEA of Parliament, which inflicts a penalty of 101. for every such offence cont_ milted between Rotherhithe and Croydon. The necessary proofs were given of the removal and delivery of the coals. Much pains were taken by the Solicitor of the Defendant, to throw the imputation of Reformer Upon the Principal Meter, who swore to following the cart from the Wharf to Croydon, where they xi/ere delivered; but he on -.his oath' declared, that lie did not ex pe6-. one farthing of the penalty, And that from the great loss the Sworn Meters .sustained by the frequency of this offence (they .being entitled to 4d. fee out of every chaldron of coals they , measured), , and the injury the Public also stistained by not get ting full measure, he and the Society ofCoal- Meters in general, conceived it a duty to the Public and to themselves, to enforce the A6t, Which they were, determined to do whenever they could. The De fendant was cone iced. UNPARALLELED AVi"ECTION IN A HUSBAND.-- On Thursday last died, Thomas Morton, journey man brass-founder, in Nova-Scotia -street, Birming ham end on the same day his wife died in child birth, leaving a family of five small children, friend_ less and destitute of the necessaries of life. He had been employed several years as a caster in the mane. faaory of Messrs. Messenger and Phipson, at Sr. Mary's, and always supported the charader of a sober, honest, and industrious man. His wife was remarkably frugal and cleanly, and their assiduity and good management enabled them to support their children (notwithstanding the frequent illness of the father) without the too common resources of the laborious class, living upon credit, or applying to the parish. The husband had been drooping seve ral weeks; the wife's death Was sudden and unex peeled. Parental tenderness has been fabled in the description of the Pelican feeding her young with her vitals ; but this, description has been lite rally realized by this poor man; for, upon an . ex amination of the body; two eminent Surgeons were cf opinion, that he had (lied from want of a sufficient portion of necessary food, though he had made am_ ple provision for his wife's expeded confinement.— (73;rminghart Gazette.) The celebrated Statue of the Venus de Afedicis, was embarked at Palermo on the 12th ult. for France. Their .S.P.ANISH MAJESTIPS were expeled at Barcelona on the t 2da ult. They have suffered mu h, it,is said, during the journey, from the ex cessive heat. A - splendid Fite was given.at Hamburgh by the French Legation on the 23d ult. in celebration of the Foundation of the French Republic. The Batavian Republic is to receive the Distrias of Lymers and Elten, by virtue of a private Con vention concluded with the Court of Berlin. According to intelligence from Ratisbon, Hrs BRITANNIC MA J ESTY has declared, as Elea - tor of Fiancever, through the medium of his,Snb.Delegate, iliat he accedes to all the dispositions of the pro_ posed Plan of Indemnities, so far as it respeds the. House of Brunswick. The opening of the Canal of Charleroi-, Conn ing a junetion between the Sambre and the Scheldt, is to be commenced next .Spring. At the same time the execution of the projea will be begun for ef feding a junElion between the Meuse and the Rhine, It is stated in ,the German Journals, that the GRAND SEIGNIOR has not only confirmed PASW AN OGLou in the Government of Widdin, but has also giveri him that of Nicopolis. A great number of Foreigners, particularly Eng. lish, continue to arrive at Brussels. Many pre cipitately quitted Amsterdam, the Hague, and Rot terdam, for Brussels, expeffing the immediate ar rival of the CONSUL. in the latter City.— Several English Families have made arrangements to pass the Winter thei4." M. de CALONnE is said to have returned to Paris. The KING of - PRUSSIA has obtained permission from the EMPEROR. of Russ' A, to import from -the - Ukraine a number of chosen horses to mount the body guards and cuirassiers in garrison at Berlin. According to intelligence from Brussels," new orders'have been received from Paris, in consequence ' of which a redoubled watchfulness is kept Lip on the Left Bank of the Rhine, particularly towards the frontiers of Westphalia, and on the whole frontier of the Batavian Republic, to prevent the -introduc tion of English Merchandize on the French ter-• ritory. Several shameful frauds have been lately prac tised on seamen paid off at Plymouth. A man of the name of BAXTER has set cff, it is supposed for America, with 611, in Bank -notes, belonging to one of those poor fellows. He was formerly Cap_ twin's Clerk of the Galatea, of 36 guns, Captain BYNG, but lately kept a tavern, and acted as an auctioneer. Friday ~ 7ohn Camfikell, of the Castle Garth, Newcastle, was committed for trial, for having in, his possession teo forged Notes purporting to . be Guinea Notes o f t h e G reenoc k B an k . These Notes are all dated January zo, tsoo, ,Nos. 4.58 . -x t 4, and seq. signed James Patten,. Casiicr.. They may be known from the real Notes hy;the, want of the water mark, and the faintness of ithe impression in the left 'corner " Ent. p." The engraving is not so good as the real. Notes. The letters in the Government stamp are also larger than they ought to be, and badly executed. Campbell is supposed to be one of Town's gang, and these Notes were discovered in a hole in the wall, while searching his house on mother ac-. count. Many Notes from this plate are •in cir culatiOn. Tuesday last Mr. Earnshaw, of Holborn, was defrauded of a timepiece, by a sharper, who, calling himself Captain Foot, of, the Royal Navy, prevailed ou Mr. E. to take in payment two bills for 65 gui. neas, purporting to be accepted by Mr. Sykes, of Arundel street, but which, on' being presented to that Gentleman, turned out to be forged.
