It is reported that Porcupine is arrest,
est on the (edition law, for a libel again#
the President of the United States. The
complexion of some of his late papers,
renders this highly probable.
Ah arrival at Newjork,

to Dec. 19/ The account of
Buonaparte's assassination is
there confided in; it is added,
on similar official authority;
that the Pacha of Rhodes has
landed and taken the city of
Alexandria; Jean Bon Sa
Andre has been sent to the
Turkilh Galleys. Napper
Tandy, and several of hit
countrymen, remain confined
