the Attorney for the diftria of Bos

How could, in fact, any room for

Since he only aded in conformity

GENET.
Newyork, oct. 28. By a gentle
man direct from Pittsburgh, we
learn, that General Wayne had
marched from the Miami agiinft
the Indians, with 3000 regular
troops, and 1500 volunteers from
Kentucky. We also learn, that
Stiff Knee, a chief of the Chippa
was, had come into Fort Pitt, with
assurances that his nation had re
folyed to observe a ftri6t neutrali

The celebrated Gen. Scott of
Kentucky, was to have headed the
volunteers, but unfortunately fell
from hishorfe just as the troops
were marching, and was obliged to
remain behind.

BOSTON, Nov. 6.—-By a gen

a ship from Fayal, we learn, that
Fayal, as well as Madeira, and all
the Azores, or Weftern Isles, were
apprehensive of an approaching
famine—<heir crops of grain hav

that in a few days after their arriv

of August) the governour, chief

through party divisions they had
come to no refolotion on the fob

That the principal part of the peo|

roots, fruit, and fifh, have no bread
to eat—that several cargoes of

Os tbe Fever.
From Philadelphia, NOV. I.
. “ I am now so happy as to be able to
inform you, that a rapid decrease of the
disorder has continued since the date of
my last.. I saw two physicians yesterday,
who have been active during the whole
time ; they informed me that they had
had no new applications,for five days past.
The burials in the city are now not more
numerous than at this time last year—l
believe not so many. Mr. Helm, who
has been so long at the hofpital,and wbofe
heroism I formerly mentioned, informed
me last evening, that only one person died
there yesterday. Not one was carried
out ; and out of 114 now there, it was
not supposed that more than 12 would
die.—This is a most aftoniihing change.
The weather has been uncommonly cold,
and what has been anxiously wished for,
is come at last—a most plentiful rain. I
think the epidemic will trouble us no
more this year, at least—and as I am ful
ly fatisfied, it was not generated here, but
was imported, either from the Streights,
or Hispaniola. Ido not entertain the
feais that feme persons do, of its breaking
out again in the Spring. Great num
bers of persons have already returned,
and the Houses which have been long
ihut are opening, airing and cleaning,
through the city All future danger,
will, I conceive, arise from this cleansing
not being thoroughly done. The magif
(rates appear to be sensible of the import
ance of the business, and are taking meaf
ores accordingly.
A most noble spirit of benevolence
has broke forth in the neighbouring towns
and counties, as well as in the morf dis
tant parts—The benefactions received
Since our last, various accounts
refpe&ing this important arsenal of
the French Republick have been
received : Captain Dissmor e, in
the brig Joseph, from Malaga, in
39 days, is the latest arrival, from
the Mediterranean. He confirms
the account of the delivery of the
place to the combined fleer, and
adds, that a very large army of na
tional troops were on the point of
investing it ; and it was expeded,
that it would in a Abort time be re
captured. From this, and the late
letter from Cadiz, under the Salem
head, it may be believed, that the
combined fleets have been in posses
sion of Toulon, and that it was sur
rendered by. the counter-revolu
cionifts.
The force of Greatbriten and
Spain, in the Mediterranean, would
have found it an arduous talk, to
have taken Toulon by ftorm,ai on
the several forts which environ it,
above 700 pieces of ordnance are
planted ; and the water avenues to
the city are intricate ; and to any
enemy, extremely dangerous.
will have an opportunity of mak
ing sales to great advantage.
The geodeman who gave the
above information, further adds,
that it is a frequent practice in the
abovementioned islands, to talce
advantage of strangers in calculate
jng accounts in their currency—
and the exchange of pieces of fter-1
ling money ; which tie thinks (he|
Consuls of different nations whoj

,' Yesterday were brought in here two
vessels under American colours, taken by
, a S.panifh man of war. They are, I be
, lieve, part of a fleet that failed from Bour
f deaux, defined for Martinique, under
the convoy of a French frigate of forty
;guns."
ICapt. Putnam arrived here last Friday
in 80 days from St. Petersburg. The
;Ruffian fleet had returned into port for
winter.'•
; On Friday night Capt. Archer arrived
, from Cadiz, which he left the 21st of Sep-
I tember. He fays, the Spanish fleet that
had returned into that port on account of
the great mortality on board, was not a
part of the combined fleet, but had been
cruising separately in the Mediterranean.
Before he left Cadiz, the most of the fleet
had again failed for the Mediterranean,
after having landed, as he was told, 7000
sick men.

" The situation of mercantile people in this
country, is truly diJlrcffing.—Our Laws are"
bad, and the, are as badly managed. The
only hopes we have, that when the, are at the

an unnatural one, a war of Kings against the
PEOPLE. We have good reajon to think
the event will few the jolly of it. It is
much typeßed here that the Allied powers in

been made to give way to the general dis

brought on the poor, by the epidemic

«' The absentees, who have returned,
look wild—You may easily conceive their
feelings—when they mwft be in a great
degree ignorant of the actual state of the
alleys, courts and streets, through which
they pass. I have, however, not heard of
any perlon being taken sick, who has re
turned ; and I do not think there isthe
leaf! danger in traversing the city,through
any of the principal streets, or even any
part whatever. The rain will re people
the city ; and business will revive. The
shipping are coming up continually.

publick offices are to be opened in the
