ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 22.
A schism has unfortunately taken place
between the Members of the board of
health of Philadelphia. Mr. J. Kessler &
Mr. James M'Glathary, have published the
sentiments against the measures ot the
board, and conclude by faying " We
fhouid deem ourselves unfit for the trust
tepoted in us did we believe the yellow
fever was either a native of the city
or not contagious as the law which crea
ted the board is predicated upon the fore
ign origin and contagions nature of the
dtfeafe.” Unluckily fur these positive
gentlemen their ignorance has outgrown
the cloak which tilence had fnrnifhed,and
their zeal has got the mattery either of
their knowledge or their veracity for it
so happens the law under which they a?,
is predicated no lets on the domestic than
the foreign origin of the difeafe—md the
danger from internal filth,was as prefect
10 the framers of the law, as that from
foriegn contagion.

Extrad of a letter from an American gen
tieman in London, under date of the
4th Aug.
^ j.ondon and Weftmiuller will have
100^00 troops. There are at lead that
number exercised four hours every day.
The public squares and church yards in
many parishes ar< occupied for the pur
pose of training them. In three months
this countty will have an effective force
of one million of men.—lt France does
not attack very soon her own fea-port'
towns will be laid watte. They already
hlk of forming an aimy of I'rance, to
meet that of En ;land upon the Continent.
This force will not be kfs then 200,000
men, and inoftly volunteers. Let the
invasion be on what fide if may, the con
flict will be dreadful.
Extrafi of a letter from Paris.
" The commerce of France has remonstrated
with great energy against the arretc of the
Fitft Consul condemning all neutrals to confifca
tion who cannot prove that their cargoes are not
of the growth, produce or manufacture of Eng
land. It presages bankruptcies to an enormous
extent, if this arrete is carried into effeft, The
Chamber of Commerce of Paris, in, concert
with those of the principal cities of France, has
rcfolved to fend a deputation of three of its most
distinguished members to Buonaparte, at Bruss
els, to solicit a rapeal of this arrete Citizen Du
Pont de Nemours has been appointed chief of
die deputation."
It is Anted, as the opinion of many in
telligent perlons in France, that B ma
parte does not contemplate the invasion
rs England. That his mcnacesand pre
inraticns are tricks to alarm the Eng
i(h and put them to the expense of de
infive arrangements. The measures on
tes file, however, must coll lone thing,
and England can better afford to pay a
pound than France a p<nny. It is prob
able, nevertheless, that if Great Britain
had made no arrangments for her security,
the Firlt Consul would have been em
boldened to have attempted the enter
prize. So that the Britifli perhaps owe
their lafety to their system of defence ;
and expence has been properly incurred.
BOSTON SEPT. 29.
FROMCAPE FRANCOIS.
Capt. Hamilton, of the brig Gayaf
0, arrived at New-York, on the 25th
inst. in 22 day from Cape-Francois,in
forms, that the black General Difa
lines was making preparations for at
tacking the Cape in 4 or 5 days after
he failed, and Gen Rochambeau was
adopting the strongest defenfive mea
sures. The French troops and inhab
itans from Jeremie, had arrived at the
Cape, having entirely evacuated that
place to the Brigands. The British
blockading squadron off the Cape, per
mitted the troops to enter the harbour
without mokfation. The most dis
tressing accounts were received from
,Port-Republican, the inhabitants were
entirely destitute ofprovifions,andclofe
ly hemmed in by the blacks, into whose
hands theymull'fhort'yfall,and become a
facrifice to their vengeance if they did
not speedily abandon the place. The
troops from thence were daily looked
for at the Cape. Provisions were very
high particularly flour, which was re
tailing at 45 and 50 dolls, per barrel.
From Jamaica.
Capt. Ratcliff, arrived at this place
from Jamaica, informs, that the prefect
fitvation of that island is truly alarming,
not on occount of their external but in
,„nal enemies—that the great colkdion
.f negroes in the interior parts, threaten
tae inhabitants with the word of dangers,
and martial law was expe&ed to take
place immediately. Capt. B. further in
forms, that the markets were extremely
low for all kinds of merchandize, that the
press for seamen was very great, and
none eleaped who were not provided
witha legal and regularly executed pro
teaion.
Embargo at Barbadoes.
Capt. Oxnard, arrived at Portland,
from St. Lucia, left that place on the
27th August and iuforms, that in con
sequence of a contemplated attack on
Martinique, an embargo was laid on all
Yeffels in the harborof Barbadoes. The|
time of its commencement, or its prob
able duration is not mentioned.

squadron employed in the blockade of St. Do
mingo, Gates, as fad,the capture of two French
74's and a frigate, which efeaped from Cape
Francois, the 24th July last.
Capt. Valk, who arrived at Charleston, on
the 6th inst from Nassau informs, that before
he left the port, two Spanifhfhips were brought
in by a British armed ship, and that he was in
formed by one of the officers chat war was de
clared against Spain, but Capt. V. had not seen
the declaration.
NEW-HAVEN, SEPT. 1%
Commencement. The public com
mencement at Yale College was held on
the 14th inst. The degree of Batchelor of
forts was conferred on fl young gentle
men ; and the defeet of Master of Arts on
10. Among the exercises of the candi
dates for thedegree of M. A. was" Notes
on the Times, an English Poem, by Moles
Hatch. This Poem diet great credit to its
ingenious author. The fubjeA, as the
title indicates, was of that multifarious
character (so to express it) which figoal
izes, peculiarly, the grotesque follies of the
day. Andifevera fubje& was judiciously
felefted, or the keen lash of satire dexterou-
Gy wielded this we think was an instance.
The manner in which it was received by
a very crowded audience, composed of cit
izens, and Grangers from every part of the
Union, teftified, abundantly, to the cor
rednefs df this opinion. More particu
lar remarks we forbear at thistime, as Mr.
Hatch has complied with the wishes of
his friends ; and his poem, after receiv
ing thb advantages of a revision, together
with some additions will, we trust, obtain
from the public, generally, a fandion of
the applause, so liberally bellowed by an
audience of superior elegance and dis
criminating taste.
Portsmouth,
-"sATURDArfOCTOBER 1, 1803.
From a Country Correspondent.
Amongst the novelties of the present:
time perhaps few will be more enter
taining to many of your readers than
the following. Capt. Stephen Her
ryma having undertaken a considera
ble part of the fourth NeW-Hampfhire
Turnpike Road—for his convenience,
built a House about 18 by 30 feet, one
story and a half high, which he ereded
on said Turnpike with a large room
for cooking, victualing,&c. also a cham
ber for stores and lodging, a conve
nient bed room for two of his daught
ers, lodging, &c. being thus prepared
he set the said house on fix wheels to
move to his work, which lay to the
north weft, he advanced with his team
and drew to his work from day to
day as he had occasion. After complet
ing about a mile and ha'f he returned
to the place where he began the re
mainder of the road which he had un
dertaken, lying southeast. News of
his removal spread in the neighborhood
and a large number of gentlemen and
ladies,(not much odds of one hundred,
about half rode in the house,) collected
many, of which had the pleasure to
ride in the house through a wilderness
where it would have been difficult fix
months past for any gentleman to have
led a horse—the house was moved the
above distance in less than fix hours,
his oven for baking was built on a car
riage, and advanced in front, and 2
team with tools for carrying on the
business in the rear. The greatest or
der and harmony prevailed thro' the
whole tranfadion, and every counte
nance was graced with a smile—what
adds a further pleafure,is that the above
described road is about as uneven as
any part of the route from Connecticut
river to Bofquain, as any gentleman
may be fatisfied who may have the hap
piness to travel the route.

OAober, and the Expedition teas to proceed
in November."
LONDON, AUG. 20.
The Ruffian f<;ua<iron of 12 fail of the
line, which lately failed from Ruffian
parts, will certainly winter in our har
bors. The necelhry orders for their ac
commodation have been given.
Sir H ime Popham has been appointed 1
to the chief command of a secret expedi
tion. Some gun-boats have been order
ed to be immediately repaired.
Several persons, fufpeded of being French spies,
have been arrested in England —Rumours of
conspiracies of royalists in France prevailed. It
is even said that Talleyrand has been fufpefted
of designs unfavorable to the First Consul.
Some letters from Paris still talk of
plots against the First Consul. One was
a jacobin plot, the object of which was to
dispatch Bonaparte, to call a convention
as in 1792. The other a royalist plot, to
restore the Butybohs. Both have their
partisans in toe army. The alarm of
these conspiracies is thought to hive
shortened the First Confui's stay in Flan
ders.
An American gentleman, who left
Paris on the 2d inst, soys. Courier's were
hourly dispatched to all parts of France,
and an unusual number of troops had,
within the preceding fortnight, been
drawn round the capital. He adds, that
a French copy of the Paper issued on the
24th ult. from Wanfteaddioufe, elofely
printed on small hand bills, with a head
line in red letters, "7ive la Ree, was dis.
perfed over a great part of Paris on the
night of the ift inst. It was printed
on a republican damp of three cents.
Bonaparte returned to Paris on th?
11th of August.
LONDON, 'AUG. 24.
A Council was held yeflerday on dij
patches from the continent. It is reported
the mediation offered by Russia has entirely
failed. The final proportion of the Empe
ror was, that France floould withdraw her
troops from Holland, and Hanover, and
that Malta should remain 10 years in our
hounds. The proposal, it is said, was cooly
received by both the belligerent powers. His
Imperial Majesty has since caused it to be
Signified to France that unless the French
troops are withdrawn from Hanover, be
will find bimfelf under the necessity of adopt
ing conipulfory means in conjunction with
powers most immediately interefled.
Afew daysfnee a council of seven Frenc!
Princes were held. Pichegrue and Dv^
mourier were present. With a view to
. an expedition the latter has certainly come
to this country. The Royal Standard is
to be erected in France, under these gene
rals, accompanied by some of the Princes.
A British frigate and bomb vessel ha ve
bombarded Bologne, and defroyed a great
part^df the lower town and harbor. A
party of seamen and marines landed and
set fire to federal houses.
Orders have been sent to Dover for an
hundred Trinity Pilots to be ready at a
moment's notice.

In this town, a child of the widow Currier.
At Providence, on the 20th inst. the Hon.
John Brown, Esq.— For varied and extensive
ufefulnels he was always distinguished. Os his
generous and laudable exertions, the improve
ments of our bridges the repairs of our Greets,
the magnificent and splendid appearance of all
our public edifices,are lasting and honourable
testimonials The laborious portion of the com
munity have reason to regret the death of one,
who, by his zeal and public spirit, enabled the
industrious man to provide for the fapport and
comfort of his family. Property with him re
tained its best and truest use. It was not hoar
ded up with the avarice of a miter for excl ifive
enjoyment, but flung into circulation by his en
terprizing genius. Characters of this kind are
rare, and therefore their loss is to be the more
deeply regretted.—Let the aged widow, and
the surviving children and relatives of the de
ceased, derive confolatiOn from the sorrow of a
sympathizing public, the surest tests of intrinsic
excellence and worth. During our Revolutiona
ry war, he was one of the forenioft to resist the
tyrannical attempts of the Engli<h ministry t®
prostrate the liberties of his country. He h^s
ever continued firm to such principles, in the
various fluctuations of party. Impartial justice
cannot deny him the merit of a steady, inflexi
ble and active patriot, and it is with pleasure
that we embrace this opportunity to teftify otir
gratitude, in the only way in which it can now
be done, by a public actumlodgement. He had
lived long enough to reap the harvef tof public
gratitude and affection, for the many important
iervices rendered to his native town—and his
relatives may now experience genuine tokens of
regret, at a time when sincerity and truth are
powerful and predominant. More it is not in
the power of feeble mortality to bestow.—On
Thursday his remains were deposited in the
north burial ground, attended by the Corpora
tion of the College, and a very numerous train
of relatives and friends. The Society of Free
Masons joined the proccffion, and paid funeral
honours to the memory of a departed Brother.
On no similar occasion have we ever witnessed
a proceffien so numerous.

in patriotism and arms will long be dear to the

that little band of Naval Hetoes who firft hoist
ed the flag of the American Navy, in the year
1775, and to his valour our country owed
much of the honour she acquired on the seas
during the revolutionary war. Integrity, good
