The puS!i bibkefliblilhed lift y^r at Philadelphia,
bas rift-ri into eminent credit and confeguence, and is
likely to be of thebighert a tvantage to trade and com
werce. It has been aided by fiver specie (chiefly in
Crown pieces) from France, to upwards of five hundred
Ihoufand louis d'prs, which, together with a vast circu
lation o f Spanish and Portugal gold and silver, and but
too many of our Eritifh guineas, is rapidly riling this
newly cOabiifhed bank into great consequence and ex
tend ve circulation.
Mr. Hartford, the proprietor of Maryland, has tak

N E W-Y 0 R K, , July 2 r.
When captain Colvili left Eriftol, which was the 27th
of May, it was reported there, that the definitive trea
ty between Great Britain and America, was signed, but
not publifh°d in the Gazette.
Captain Colvillon his passage (poke with the follow
ing vessels, viz. July 1, lat. 40, 36, long. 54, withthe
ship Irifti Volunteer, Peter Dillon, mast r, from Larne,
in Ireland, with 350 passengers, for Philadelphia; on
the iith, lat. 38, jo, long. 64, 1-2, with the Jenny,
Robert Kerr, matter, from Glasgow f,r this port,; and
oh the 17th, with the Swallow packet, from this port
• for Fibnouth, Boleagues E. by S. from Sandy Hook.
A ship and a brig were to fail from Bristol for this
port a few days after captain Colvill.
Tuesday lab the ship John, captain Nash, arrived
here from Oporto ; he informs utythat the Algerines
° re again beginning to commit depredations upon the
PortugueD, as fevtral of their corsairs were cruizing
off the rock of Lisbon; and that some ships of the line,
belonging to I is Portuguese majesty, were fitting to go
in pursuit of the infidels.
About a month ago captain Nash (poke with an Tn
diaman from Bengal, which ship the day before fell in
with a brig from Teneriffe, bound for Philadelphia.
Toe Camel and Hind ftorefhips arrived here on Sa
turday last, in 8 weeks from Portsmouth. They failed
from thence about the 25th of May.
The fame afternoon arrived, brig Peggy, Earton,
from Teneriffe; brig Arrogant, from Annapo is-Roy
al, and brig Minerva from St. Kitts.
,The drought has been so great for nine months pal
it the Weft-Indies, that not one-third of their usual
crops are expelled ; many vessels in confluence have
gone to Europe not half loaded, and others in ballast.
July 23. Lift Monday arrived here the brig Lucy,
captain Van Duerfen, in twelve days from Sr. Kitts,
bound to Connecticut; from which a report prevails,
that the day before he failed, dispatches were /received
from Barbadoes, with an account of the definitive trea
ty being signed, and a copy of it received there, by
governor Parry, and that is was brought from Eng
land in twenty-two days.—ln the above vessel came
passengers Samuel Crook, esquire with his lady and
family.,
Same day arrived from Spithead, his majefly's fri
gate Mercury, of 28 guns, commanded by Henry
Edwin Stamiope, esquire. This fhiphad been fix weeks
under orders to bring government's dispatches to their
excellencies the general and admiral, failed the third
day of June, and has brought a considerable number of
letters, intended for the Janus and Cyclops men of
war, whole departure had been flopped ; but the June
mail was left for the usual conveyance of the packet
As it had been generally understood, that the Mercu
ry was peculiarly appointed to carry copies ct thede
finitive # treaty immediately after it was completed, to
his maleft's commiLoners, a, New-York, for making
peace, it is conjectured that this long looked-for and
very interfiling document may have been brought by
the abovementioned vessel,
Yesterday arrived the ship St. David, captain Mor
gan, from Jamaica, but last from Havanna; which last
port she gained in distress. 'Tis laid flie has brought
upwards of 600 puncheons of Rum.
The f&me day arrived from Jamaica, four largeemp
ty transports.——.- —
Philadelphia, July 26.
We expeßed to have had the pleasure of prefentingto
cur readers, in this paper, a copy of the definitive trea
ty of peace. Previous to our last publication it was
asserted, in such positive terms, to have been received
at New-York by the Mercury frigate, as to admit
little doubt of the pleating intelligence. As yet we
have received no more fatisfaßory account refpeaing
it, than are contained underthe New-York head ; but'
we hope shortly to communicate the particulars' of a
treaty which is to confirm that already agreed on, for
once more freeing the world from the dreadful devas
tations and horrors of war.
Within these few days past, several perlons in and
about the city have died by the excessive heat of the
weather. Others have loft their lives by imprudently
drinking cod water when they were very much heated.
This, together with the deaths by sickness, &c. has
made the lift of the dead in the course of a little time
past, much more numerous than common. It were to
be wished that perfoos capable of refleaion, would con
iider the dangerous effects of extreme heat and cold
when opposing each other in the human frame.
Thursday evening a detachment of the Pennsylva
nia line, commanded by lieutenant colonel Harmar,
arrived here by water from Charleflown, South-Caro
lina.—We are informed that the remainder of the
Pennsylvania troops (about five companies) were to
have embarked at Charleftown a few days after the
zbove, and may be daily expected.
