MR. GERRY'# ARRIVAL.
We are happy to announce
the fafe arrival of the Hon.
Elbridge Gerry, from his
late mission to France. He
arrived here, in the United
States armed brig Sophia,
Capt. Geddes, from Havre,
last from England. The En
voy was falutcd at the Castle,
and was welcomed by the
"huzzas of the citizens assem
bled on the wharves. Sam'l.
Cooper, Esq. waited on him
board the Sophia, and accom
panied on shore, and to his
feat at Cambridge.
In the outer harbour, Mr.
Gerry dispatched Mr. Hum
phreys with communications
to the President of the United
States, at Quincey.
By the Sophia „e learn,
that after Mr. Gerry had ar
rived at Havre to embark for
his native country, Taliyrand
was continually pressing him
to return ; and it is said gave
secret orders to .the com
mandant to detain the So
;phia; Mr. Gerry, we under
hand, answered the letters,
but demanded his free pass
ports;
London papers were re^
ceived by the Sophia, to Aug.
I6th-— two days later than we
received on Tuefday. They
contain no news, Buonaparte
had not been heard of, after
he left Malta.
„ Gen. Pinckney, we under
hand, was to leave Bordeaux
about the time Mr. Gerry left
Hayre. May the winds be

a ' er performing several military mamceu
yres, and each company being severally
infpeded by the Adjutant General and
Brigade Major, were reviewed by his
