SUMMARY tfthe refelt of the about aßinn.
("f French papers, by Capt. Atkins from
I'Orient, give several accounts of the above
naval action. From a perusal of them, we can
state with certainty, That the action was
bloody, on both tides, and that both sides ex
;hibited trai^ of the most undaunted valor.
The Berwi& p of 74, fell into the hands of
the French, two days before the adion. She
had arrived at Toulon, and was to be imme
diately sent to sea.—The Ca Ira and Cenfeur
of 80 and 74 guns, sustained a combat of 2
British 74's, which were beaten off in a very
thattered condition—Their places were im
mediately supplied by the Courageaux and
Illustrious, both 74's, and the French ships
being difmafted, the Ca Ira having left 400
men, and Cenfeur a large number, they
struck. The Courageaux was towed into the
port of Leghorn, by the Loweftoffe frigate,
; where she was pronounced unfit for further
ferrice, was dismantled, and was to be burnt.
The Illustrious loft her foremaft ; and in a
gale of wind went ashore on the coast of La
vanza, where her cannon and stores were ta
ken out, and she burnt. The French fleet
had arrived at Toulon, where they were join
ed ty fix fail of the line from Brest, full of
men., The English fleet entered Genoa,
landed their wounded prisoners, but were or
dered to depart, by the Genoefe government,
that republic being neutral. This was imme
diately complied with by admiral Hotham ;
who on the 27th March, left the gulph of
Spezzia, with the squadron, and flood to the
southward. On the whole neither party can
claim a viftory. The French loft two flhips;
which the English carried in mere wrecks—
The French took one, and so disabled two
others, that they were afterwards stripped
and burnt.]

PHILADELPHIA, June fr Capt. Frede

That the two states of Barbary,
Tunis and Tripoli, were at war with
each other ; and that he had no ac
count of either the Moors or Alge-,
fines being out against the Americans
—and fays, that he is convinced that
the reports which have been for some

at least premature.
/ NEWYORK, JUNE 8;
In the Franklin, arrived at Balti
more, came paff,ger, Captain John
Wallage, supercargo of the brig
George, of Alexandria, by whom we
learn, that having arrived on the coast
of Sc Domingo, his vessel was taken
possession of by the Republican pri
vateer called L'Union, Capt. Boyer,
of Cape Francois, commissioned by
Gen. Levaut, and carried into Port
de Paix, where, after several proposals
being made by administration, for
purchafiog his cargo, which he refus
ed, it was forcibly taken from him,
and landed.
By the Franklin, we also learn, that
the day before (he failed, an express
arrived at Port de Paix, to General
Levaux, from Martinico, which he
left the 7th May, informing a squad
ron, confiding of three 80 gun ships,
four 44'1, several (loops of war, and a
number of traofporu with troops, had
arrived at Martinico, directly from
France, and landed on that iflaod;
and the next day after the departure
of the express, a general attack was
intended to be made on all the forts.
boston, JUNE 17- From BAIONNE*
Accounts, dated in May, mention,
that though reports of peace were in
circulation, the young men from Bor
deaux, southward, had been put in
requifirion—that large armies were
intended to be put in motion against
Spain, and the capture of Pampelon,
was considered as an event likely spee
dily to take place, On.the other hand
the Spaniards were increafiog their at
mica with fpirit.~
1 In confirmation of the above, we
have information from a refpedable,
well-informed gentleman at Bayonne,
who under the date of May 9, writes
to his correspondent in this town —
" We have been, for a month past,
flattered with the profped of a peace
with Spain; but it is now totally
vanilhed."

BRITISH & FRENCH PIRACY.
The cargo of the schooner Hiber
nia, Capt. Merry, of Boston, has been
condemned, and fold at Halifax, for
a breach of the revenue or navigation
laws. The cargo con.fifted of wibe,
rum, molasses, tea, tobacco, boots &
shoes, raisins, gin, chocolate, hats,
duck, blankets, calico, cloths, cards,
iron pots and kettles, beaureaus, cod
lines, stone ware, indigo, &c.
A letter from Halifax, dated May
27, fays, the schooner Hibernia, cap.
Patrick Merry, was lately brought
into this port, upon charge of smug
gling, having been seen at anchor in
one of the weftern harbors of the pro
vince. A claim was laid in behalf of
the master and freighters, and as it
was clearly proved and admitted, that
the schooner, had not broke bulk, an
acquittal was expected on that ground
—Strong testimony, however, ap
pearing, chat the cargo had been con
traded for, with Merry, by a trader
of La Have, who was to have given
him fi(h in return, and other circum
stances, corroborating to disclose an
intention of breaking bulk, when an
opportunity ottered, the judge took
the will for the deed, and sentenced
both vessel and cargo, to condemna
tion, this morning; Upon legal
' grounds the sentence is maniteftly
wrong ; for whatever might have
been the intention of Merry, nothing
having been landed or offered for
sale, she ought to be acquitted.; but
the fads in proof created a prejudice
fatal to the claims." The above ves
sel was taken 8 leagues from the land,
and the person who handed this arti
cle, and the avowal of it, if necessary,
(hall not be wanting, avers that if the
Judge of the Admiralty who con
demned the above schooner, took
the oath to do impartialjuftice, before
he entered on the duties ot his office,
he is a perjured villain.
From our allies we have a right to
expert better treatment. A teaman
of a schooner belonging to Wifcaffet 4
diftrid, which was bound from Geor
gia, to the Weftindies, has arrived in
town, & informs, that the (aid fcho&!
ner was met by the Perdix of 24 guns
—the crew taken out, declared to be
British, and sent to St. Martins, where
they were confined in irons, and,he
vessel and cargo burnt. O This is
prompt adjudication^
The cargoes of two or three ves
sels, belonging to this port, which
have arrived in the French ports of
St.^Lucia, have been taken possession
of by the public officers of those ports,
at their own prices ; and fold, in the
presence of the captains, at from 50
to 100 per cent, advance on the price
which the Americans were allowed
ftiherefor. We are confident, howev-.
er, that such conduct is as abhorrent
to the present rulers in France, as it
is to the citizens of the United States.
h% letter from one of the captains
is in the hands of the editor which ful
ly proves the above.

Says a correspondent, the election
of Mr. Jay as Governor of so respec
table and important a portion of the
Union, as Newyork, oy so large a
Majority, (larger 1 believe than any
Candidate ever had before, when there
had been any appearance of a contest)
gives pleasure to every federal patriot
—no recent event appears to have ex
cited such great and general (atisfac
tion. Mr. Jay's majority is not so
great as was needed by the friends
of the UnionTC Newyork, and eife
wherc; but several reasons might be
assigned $ had be arrived before the
election began, or had there been a
moral certainty that he would, the
best informed persons io Newyork are
firmly persuaded that more than three
fourths of the whole number of elec
tors would have chosen for him. Mr.
Jay having 13,476 votes out of
25,368 Freeholders, to the amount
of £.IOO each, is one of the strongest
criterion^ of the feotiments of the
' people of Newyork, that could be
exhibited.
