NASSAU, (N. P.) JUNE 2.
A small Spanish schooner, recaptured by
the Barracuta privateer, Capt. Lightbourne,
was brought in here on Saturday last
This day arrived here, his Majesty's arm
. ed schooner Mufketo, Mr. Popham, master,
with two prizes, viz. the French privateer
Hoop National Razor, from Cape Francois,
and the Spanish brig Carolina, originally
bound from Havanna for Cathagena, with a
cargo of flour, and captured on the coast of
Cuba, by the above privateer.
The Mufketo fell in with the privateer on
the passage from Crooked Jfland for Cape
Nicola Mole, and took her after a smart ac
tion, in which Lieut. M'Farlane, who com
manded the Mufketo, was killed. The Muf
keto had only 4 guns, and 25 men and boys ;
the National Razor 6 guns, and upwards of
35 men, three of whom were killed and two
wounded. Twodays after taking the priva
teer, the schooner fell in with the brig, and
retook her.

French privateer flhip Courier, which failed

a close a&ion, yard arm to yard arm, for 3
quarters of an hour, had been forced to sur
render to the British sloop of war/Thorn —
that another French privateer, from Port

ed, took 12 small prizes during her cruise,
all of which she released or destroyed. About
a month ago, she fell in with a ship from La
Vera Cruz, richly laden, mounting 20 guns ;
she engaged her for a considerable time, and
Capt. Peronne expected to take her ; but a
(hot from the ship entered the brig below her
water line, and caused her to make so much
water, that it was necessary to quit the at
tack to save the vessel and crew,
JULY 9. Yesterday arrived and came to
anchor, in the Road before Fort Johnston,
the French armed schooner Voltefeaur, Capt.
Gabea, from a cruise of 25 days ; with two

Hartford, Jul, 27. While the cit

citizen# of Newyork are throwing
fines 4nd brick bits at thole who
speak in favor of the Treaty, the in

They had likewise taken the Spanish Colo

Capt. Dickinson informs, likewise, that
there was a report in Savannah that a party
of American soldiers, who were escorting the
Indian Chiefs on their return from Savan
nah to their nation, had deserted Mr. Sea
grove and their officers, and joined Captain
Lang's party in the, expedition against Au.
guftine.
The person who brought the letter to Sa
vannah, had 200 head of cattle, which he
was driving for sale to Augustine, but meet
ing Capt. L.'s party, and being informed
that he might proceed at his pleasure, but
would get nothing for his property, declined
going, and on having offers of purchase from
Capt. Lang, accepted them, and left the
.cattle.
Capt. Lang was confined 11 months in the
dungeon ih Augustine, on suspicion of his
being concerned in the undertaking te raise
men in this State for the French Republic ;
no proof, during this time, being found a
gainst him, he was liberated. Hurt at his
ill usage, he obtained a French commission,
and has occasioned a revolt throughout East-
Florida, which Spanilh lassitude will find a
difficulty in suppressing.

guarded by some Mayencoife. The
King of Prussia, in taking possession
of it, could augment hit preponderance

have been matter of the passage ; or
ders were given in conference to a
corps of Prince Hohenloe's to go and

he made 4000 men, who were destin

, London, June 14; A letter froth
Frankfort of the 25th uft. fiys, It is
not at prefect that the grand question
of peace and war is in agitation in the
Diet of Ratifboo, but rather to know
to whom the different states of the
empire will adhere—to the Emperor
or the King of Prussia. Anterior to
this deliberation, the Elector of May,
ence, who had always been one of
the most zealous partizans of the King
of Prussia, and also the Eledor Pala
tine, have declared that they remain
inviolably attached to the Emperor.
The Prince de Wortemberg, on the
contrary, abandons the Chief of the
Empire, to throw himfelf into the
arms of the King of Prussia. The
Electors of Saxony and Bavaria have
declared that they will only make
peace in concert and jointly with the
Emperor.
Upper Rhine, Ma, 24. Every thing
for some time past has announced the
projects of the Austrian army for an
attack; marches, counter-marches,
with a view of concealing from the
enemy their real force, and point of
attack ; all the preparations for pass
ing the Rhine, the attack, and taking
ing of Hartenberg, the departure of
Geo. Bellegrade for Vienna, in order
to concert on the final operations ;
the arrival of the arch duke, on his
way to the army ; the Emperor's let
ter to the Prince de Conde, in which
his Imperial Majesty authorised him
to augment his army as he judged
proper ; ,11 is now changed ; Peace
only is talked of—or if war is men
tioned, it is between Austria and Pryf
fia; at least affairs are come to that
point, that if the former had made
peace with France, she would imme
diately come to an open rupture with
Prussia ; notwithstanding the precau
tions she is obliged tty observe, it was
near breaking out two days ago,—
The King of Prussia, in addition to
the treaty made with France, traced
out a line of demarcation, beyond
which neither France nor Austria
were to go ; he has likewise fixed the
places by which these two powers
may reciprocally invade their respec
tive territories ; it is not necessary that
this treaty can only bi^d France, since
the Emperor has not either signed, or
acceded to this treaty ; but the King
of Prussia is to maintain a cdrps, in
order to make this treaty fefpeaed,
by thole even who have not signed
it. One of chose places appointed for
France for penetrating into Germany
jed of difeuffion. It wat framed by
one of the wisest statesmen in the U.
Stakes. It has been condemned be
fore it has been read ; and is now the
rallying point of Antifederalifm. The
objections to it are fpecious —but elk
your hearts, do they not conceal a
dagger aim'd at the vitals of the gov
ernment of the United States ? Its
oppofers are rash and inflammatory—
Its defenders candid and just. AME

FROM PHILADELPHIA, JULY 2§.
Extras of a letter from Capt. James JJuries, of
the Jhip Neptune, dated Portjmoutb, (Eng.)
June 2d, 179§, to bis friend in Wilmington.

on the 20th of May, in lat. 47, 30.

Charleston bound to Bourdeaux, I fell

several letters from Liibon, by the last arrival
—The following are extracts : " Lisbon,
June s. The Portuguese are strong in the
Mediterranean against the Algerines; there
fore nothing is to be dreaded from them—
neither have we heard of any depredations
made by the Moors. Col. Humphreys arriv
ed last month at Gibraltar from America, &
it is fuppofcd every thing will be amicably
fettled with the Barbary powers."
^ A letter from Mr. Simpson, the Amer
ican Consul at Gibraltar, confirms the above
—and contradicts the insidious reports feme
time since circulated, of a truce being bro't
about by Greatbritain and Spain, between
the Portuguese and Algerines.
By the arrival of Capt. Pierce from Jamaica,
at Newbury port, we learn, that he spoke
with Capt. Butler, 6a days from Madeira,
bound to* Philadelphia, and who informed
him, that a TREATY was positively con
cluded between the DEY of ALGIERS and
AMERICA—and that he had seen Official
Letters from Mr. Church, containing the
fame.
The exportation of grain from Switzerland
into France has been lately prohibited under
very severe penalties.
PEACE with SPAIN.
By an arrival at Newyork, in 47 days from
Havre, letters are received, which mention
that peace had actually taken place between
France and Spain.
CONFIRMATION.
The following important paragraph was written
by a gentleman well known in this town, to a
merchant of eminence, and is therefore intitled
to much credit. • s
" Havre, June 12, 179 g. The terms of
peace with Spain have been read in the Na
tional Convention, by which the Spaniards
are to pay an indemnity of one million of
dollars, and are to enter into an alliance with
France offenfive and defenfive."
From HAVRE, June ;—" Provisions, espe
cially bread, are in such extreme scarcity,
that common flour is upwards of 6s. per stone
—Trade, however, is in a flourishing condi
tion-dear 100 Americans are in port ; but
no American goods meet with very ready
sale, except corn and rice."
Since France had become a Republic to the peri
od during the reign of the RobeJpierrean party,
there were more than two millions of perJons mur
dered in France—among whom are reckoned 250,-
000 women, 230,000 children, (besides thoje
murdered in the womb, and 24,000 ebrifian
