LONDON, FEB 0 3.
The proftseß of a rupture between Sweden, Den
mark aud France increases. Citizen GrouviUe has
left Copenhagen, and Mr. Dreyer is recalled from
Paris. —: —Switzerland is to be treated in future
as a neutral country.
We have accounts from Brittanny of a desperate
battle between the Chouans and Gen. Bruise's forces,
JQOO of the latter being killed, wounded, or made
prisoners may have augmented tbefe num
bers ; but it is certain that government bat received
information by a brother of D'Auticbamp, who ar
rived on Fi Way, that the Cbouans were in arms in
great free, and fa fae spirits ; —that their numbers
were from fifty to an hundred thousand men ; and
that bojlilitici bad aaully recommenced.
ACCOUNTS FROM EGYPT.
Are eztremely contradictory. Some assert that,
the Grand Vizier bad been defeated by Gen. Richer
on the confine! of Syria, and bad 101 l bis tamp, part
of bis baggage, and federal tboufond prisoners This
news comes from Constantinople, but later Vienna
accounts appear to doubt the intelligence.

to the free acceptance of citizens, meet with a
more unanimous reception than the constitution
just presented.—The wiffies of the people have
been constrained neither by timid uneasiness,
nor servile imitation. They have arisen from
afentiment of approaching happiness, and the
hope of feeing it produced by new laws.
The number of fuffrages expressed this day

AMERICAN NAVY.
PHILADELPHIA, MARCH, 1,. 1800.
From Capt. Truxton, to the Sec'y of the Navy.
" Port-Royal Harboujr, Jamaica, ™)
tub Feb. 1800.)
I arrived here the Bth inst. in company with
the Ihfurgente, Capt. Murray, with whom I
fell in with the day after 1 wrote you by Lieut.
Shaw.
“ Finding it impossible to get amain-mast
here, 1 Ihall use every dispatch in my power to
put the Constellation into a condition to pro
ceed to the United States. I have met a kind
and friendly reception from Admiral Parker.
All the British post Captains here have been
on board the Constellation and from feeing our
situation, express every sentiment that could be
wished by those true Americans who love their
country and its honour."
The Maryland, of 20 guns, Capt. Rogers;
and the Baltimore, of 20 guns, Capt. Cooper,
have convoyed a squadron from Surrinam, as
far as lat. 28. 20.
The Insurgent frigate, of 40 guus,Capt. Mur
ray, has arrived in the Chesapeake.
The money brought in the Insurgent
frigate from the Weft Indies, has been
been deposited in the Branch Bank, at
Baltimore—lt was contained in 46
boxes, andß bags—and amounted to
180,000 dollars.
g. The property of the citizens of the U
nited States, which crossed the ocean in 1799,
is estimated at ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTY
MILLIONS of Dollars. It is not erring, to
fav, our Navy has prevented above one quarter
of this immense fuin falling into the hands of
the French, and other freebooters.—No wonder
the Democrats and Jacobins are wishing the
annihilation of our armed vessels ! No
wonder they curse our honest tars, and execrate
our intrepid commanders ! The cause is thus
developed.
Constellation Frigate.
Capt. Berresford, of his Britanic Ma
jesty's Ihip Unity,has informed Lt. Hil
lier, of the American navy, that west
ward of St. Croix, he fell in with the
Constellation and Infurgente frigates,
bound to Jamaica; the former having
loft her main mast and mizen mast, in
an adion with a French 54 gun (hip.—
Capt. B. offered Capt. Truxton every
affiilance ; and was in no doubt but he
would arrive fafe in Janiucia in course
of a few days ; where he would find
every necessary to refit for sea. Capt.
Truxton has arrived at Kingston, Ja

United States' Public Debt.
The report of the Committee on the state of
the Public Debt, has astonished every one who
j was not previously acquainted with the opera
tion of the Sinking Fund, by which we find
I that in near ten years, during which a navy
I worth at least 4 millions, arms, and military
[ ftores, &c. to an immense amount have been
, purchased, and yet the iucreafe of our debt is
but one million and a half, and this is but a nominal
increase; foe the one hundred and fifty millions
United States Weftern Territory having risen
in value. This together with our general abili
ty has since Wayne's defeat of the Indian na
tions doubled, and of course the adual burthen
has decreased at least one half ; add to this the
population of the United States has increased
more than one third, since the funding of our
debt, which by a capitation tax might lessen the
burthen in the fame proportion.

MOSES the Brave ! MOSES the Bold !
Huzza for MOSES!
A few days after the brig Betties had left St
Croix, on her passage home she was taken by a
French privateer,; which took the Captain ;
mate and all the hands out of her except a black
man, named J/fo; (who is well known on
the Pier, in this town,) the privateer then put on
board a prize master, and 5 hands, and ordered
her for Guadeloupe ; soon after the privateer
had left the Betties, the Frenebmen being dis
tributed about in different parts of the vessel,
Moses endeavoured to retake the brig, and en
gaged firft with those on deck, whom he al
most in&antaneouily. killed and threw them
overboard ; he next had rccourfe to the cabin,
where he killed the three others, either in the
cabin, or as they were coming out of it, and
threw them also overboard ; he then took the
command of the vessel, and put. her head to
the northward to bring her home. Two days
afterward a Philadelphia brig fell in with the
Betfies, and finding her situation, put on board
her mate and three hands. But the Betfies,
was unfortunately recaptured soon afterward
by another French privateer, and carried into
Porto-Rico, where the brave, the heroic Moses,
was put in ireus and remained in this pitiable
situation, when the letter which Rates the a

Patent Faffing & Wring
ing MACHINES.
WILLIAM MARSHALL, hereby
gives notice, that he has obtained
the foie right, for the town of Portsmouth,
to the Rev. Ezra Weld's greatly improv
ed patent Lavater, aud newly difeov
ered Wringer.
The LAVATER, which is the wafil
ing machine, can be put into operation
by a lad of 12 years old, and is found by
>a&ual experiment, to wadi Clothes, with
much greater expedition, and with left
injury to the clothes, than io tbe usual
way. It is so contrived, that the agita
tion of the water alone effectually does
the washing.
The WRINGER, is so enufttuaed as
to press tlw water from the cloths with
out the least injury, and is therefore pe
culiarly ufeful for Muslins and fine linen.
As the water is pressed out by turning a
screw, it is a very expeditious method of
wringing our clothes.
These machines are highly esteemed,
wherever, they have been introduced, as
they greatly facilitate and expedite the se
