for tne many horrid murders and burnings committed
by them in conjunction with the English and Indians.

A (mall vessel from one of the eastern ports arrived
at Quebec a little time before captain Dalton left it;
but tie captain being abused for keeping the American
colours flying, and not fuffered to enter, heleft the port
without breaking bulk notwithstanding tie articles he
had to dispose of were much in demand at Quebec, and
lie was offered a great price for them.
Extract of a letter from Liverpo I, dated May 29.
-" I imagine there are but few gainers in comparison
with those who have (offered in the calamities of war.
Here the times will be trying indeed, but the greatest
distress at present seems the scarcity of grain. Last
year there was a general blast and failure of corn and
all eatables throughout the land; and now we have had
three months dry weather, with sharp frofts and severe
cold, at this advanced season, so that with us vegeta
tion seems generally flopped or destroyed, and there is
the appearance of an approaching dearth. Wheat
is now at 10s. per bushel, 70 weight. Indeed I often
wish (although I do not think you on that fide the
water much better than we on this) you would be so
considerate as to fend most of the wheat you can spare
to this kingdom, and that soon.
“ June 2. Since writing the above, it hath pleased
Providence to favor this land with rain, which gives
much gladness. It seems to me as if men universally
hated to think of the pad madness and folly of the
nation. lam fare they hate to speak of it."

N E W-Y O R K, Auguftg.
Lafl night arrived the ship Dragon, captain Andrew
Campbell, in eighteen days from the Havanna, by whom
we learn, that a new, and far more serious revolt than
ever among those parts, has happened in South Ame
rica, particularly at Panama, and its vicinity. Before
captain Campbell failed, three thousand Spanish troops
departed for Carthagena, to proceed up to Panama,
and they were to be followed by five thousand others,
which could not accompany the firft division for want
of transports. The news of this defeßion was brought
by an express frigate from la Vera Cruz, and the di
vision failed in thirty hours after her arrival; such
dispatch was ofed that the troops were embarked in
the night. The voice of the natives is loud for an
independence of the Spanifa monarchy, and the most
important conferences are expeßed from this event.
Before the news reached Havanna, the Spanish troops
w-re on their departure for Europe, and a number had
failed for Old Spain. Brigade major Campbell had
been enlarged, and sent withy or 8 Britifli officers in a
cartel for Jamaica, a fortnight before captain Camp
bell failed. r
,The Fox frigate was at Havanna, on the passage to
England; and the ship Caro ina, captain Angus, was
railed for London,, in company with the Dragon, hav
ing on board la cargo of sugar, rum and mahogany,
from a condemned polacre from Jamaica for London.
A Spanish 64 gun fliip was 101 lin the bay of Mexico,
said to be named the America. One thousand Spanish
soldiers failed for the Mississippi, the day before the
firft division proceeded for Cartnag na..
A packet had arrived from Cadiz, with orders from
the court of Spain for the Spanish fleet not to fail for
Europe: but don Solano had already taken his depart
ure with the whole fleet for Old Spain. Don Galvez
was gone home In that fleet, on board which, it was
said, sixty million of dollars were fhi pen. There was
only one Spanish frigate (and no line of battle ship) left
at Havanna. r

Harenfwater's cure for the Lapeworm, &c. &c.
To which are added, the following late additions to
the Materia Medics. Doctor Bond's Indian Ulcer
Powder, O'Hara's Fibula Pafe, Ague Pills and Worm
Powders.--The Ulcer has flood the test of twelve years
pra&ice on many (cores of Patients, and has rarely fail
ed in curing every species of Primary Cancers, and the
most inveterate Venerjal and obflinate Ulcers with a
few dressings; it is singular and uniform in its afticn,
and may, from theannexed directions, be applied fafe
ly and tuccefsfully by perlons not much accustomed
to the practice of forgery. The Fifiula Fade succeeds
often where the knife cannot, and in most other cases
(pares the terror of cutting and cures quicker. The
hint of the Ague Pill originated with Mr. Wonald
Monro, of London, whole Ague Powder is now popu
lar in Europe, and has been imp oved in his will,
which is more certain and mild than his Powder, and
rarely fails of flopping the fits without the least diftre's
or sensible operation. They are very convenient to the
poor whomay havethem gratis. The proprietor thinks
them particularly adapted to the obstinate intermit
tents of the Southern Climate.
The Worm Powder is a mild and fafe medicine, and
is very ufeful to weak conffitutions, whether they are
afailed with worms or not; in real worm c^frs the
firft dose often brings worms away alive, the second,
part alive, part dead, and the third all dead, which
fliews their peculiar power over those filthy ardma.s.
