announcing the capitulation of Savo
na on the 27th of April; but the offi
cial bulletins of this General so often
deceived us respecting the capitulation
of Ancona, long before there was any
intention of surrendering it, that they
are not entitled to much credit. It
must also be obferved,that the account
from Milan of the 6th and those from
Villeneuve are entirely silent on this
subject. The intelligence from the
latter place, of the Austrians having
invaded the country of Nice is of an
equally doubtful description. The
event must have been preceded by the
taking of Cobdi Tendi ; and of this
we have no account. Besides it is
not very probable that Melas;7at the
moment when he knowsthat an army
is descending the vallies of the Alps,
to attack his rear, should thus disperse
his forces and expose a considerable
part to the danger of being cut off, in
the case of himfelf being obliged to
fall back on the Po, for the purpose
of protecting Piedmont and the Mi
lanese. The intelligence, however, is
confirmed with some details in the
Journal de Debates, which even an
nounces the surrender of Nice. The
fame th\mg is stated in accounts from
Grencble. :

CAPTURE OF GENOA. -
Late last night a messenger arrived
at the Admiralty with dispatches from
Lord Keith, containing intelligence
of the capture of Genoa by the Aus
trians. This most interesting event,
confidently anticipated on the firlt de
feat of Maffena, but judged from sub
sequent accounts every day more im
probable, took place on the 12th ult.
‘The place was carried by assault. The
French have loft a great number of
men, near 2000 were taken prisoners,
and the reflt of Maflena’s army fought
fafety in the surrounding heights,from
whence they were flying in every di
rection when the dispatches above al
luded to were sent off. In this bold
enterprise the Austrians loft one of
their Generals. Twenty vessels laden
with grain, destined for the relief of
that cityy were taken by the Englith
fleet. The army of reserve has met
with considerable opposition as it has
advanced into Piedmont, the inhabi
tants having risen in great numbers
againlt the French. The particulars
of this important intelligence will be
given in an Lxtraordinary Gazette
this morning.
Late on [riday evening two Mes
sengers arrived with Government dis
patches, one from Constantinople ‘and
the other from Florence. The latter
1s said to bring important intelligence.
The Trench General Suchet is said to
have been defeated by Gen. Melas,
with the loss of 20 officers, and 1520
prisoners, and great numbers of killed
and wounded. Gen. Keim is said to
have entered Nice ;.and Melas’s head
quarters were ag.\lbenza. General
Maflena had made anaggher sortie from
Genoa on the 3d, but was repulsed,
with the loss of 1200 men.

A Deftruétive Hail Storm.
_ On the 7th inst. about 3 o’clock,
P. M. the inhabitants of this society
observed a small black cloud emerg
ing above the mountain, called Bluff
head. The course of the cloud was
very singular ; it had then nearly
completed a circle round the town of
Durham, when it was met by a coun
ter wind, of superior strength, which
propelled it with great velocity, in a_
dire@tion from the N. E.to 8. W. [t
now aflumed an afped truly terrific,
“envolving and closing with such agi
tation as to excite in the beholders the
fear of what they were afierwards
compelled to realize. It came on
with great rapidity, attended with
lightning and thunder, a violent wind;
rain, and such hail as we have never"
_before known in this town, the largest
stones measuring from 6 to g inches
in circumference ; they were not of
a globular form, but were very flat,
with sharp edges, calculated to cut

Having this day received by the

ered by Lord Kexvon, and the other
judges of the Conrt of King’s Bench
on the last trial of the Confederacy’s
case, upon the question of the French
{entence of condemnation for want of
the roe d’equipage : conformably to
your request we have the fatisfa&tion
to state to you, that the verdi&® was
in favor of the owners of the Oonfeder
acy ; and that from the reasonings of
the Judges, which are very lengthy,
it appears that they must eltablith the
law on that point.—They deelare,that
the judgments of the Courts of Ad
miralty are to proceed uponthe known
.Jus Gentium (Law of Nations) or up
on treaties between the particular
States, and if there are particular trea
‘ies between the particular States, these
treaties do not enlarge the Fus Gentium
as to the relt of the world ; but they
are only engrafted into the Fus Gen
tium, as between those States.—They
go on-to find that the ground of sen
tence of condemnation for want of
this roll of equipage being founded
on Irench ordinances which are not
recognized by the treaty with Ame
rica, or the known Laws of Nations,
it is not to be considered as just cause
for condemnation, and that the Un
derwriters are, therefore, liable.”

HARTFORD, July 14.
: ANECDOTE.
Upon hearing the account of Mr.
. Jefferfon’s death contradicted, and
that the mistake arose from the death
of a negro of the fame name, a gentle
man told the following story :—*“ln
the old French war, a Col. L.. of Nor
wich, in Conneéicut, went to Cape
Breton with some troops. = A Col. L.
of Plymouth went on the fame expedi
tion. . After some time, the friends of
Col. L. of Norwich, heard that he was
dead. The gews was so dire&, that
the family went into mourning. Af
ter a while it appeared,that it was Col.
L. of Plymouth who was dead, and
not Col. 1., of Norwich. ‘A man who
-was well ‘acquainted with Col. L. of
Norwich upofydifcovering themiftake,
remarked, That he wished to be re
fign® to the dispensations of Provi
dence, but he did wot like this [hifting.

who was in Congress a great part of

PROVIDENCE, JULY 23.
By Capt. Hudson, lately arrived at
Newport from the Havannah, from
whence he failed under convoy of the
U. 8. frigate General Greene, we are
informed, that while on the passage
from New Orleans to the Havannah,
with an American brig under convoy,
the General Greene fell in with a Bri
tith 74 gun ship, which fired a shot at
the brig to bring her too for exami
nation. As neither the brig nor the
General Greene paid any attention to
this, but kept on their course, a boat
was dispatched from the 74 to board
the brig. The General Greene upon
this fired a shot at the boat, which
immediately brought her along fide ;
in consequence of which the 74 bore
down and {poke-the frigate, demand
ing the reason why her boat was fired
upon ; to which Capt. Perry replied,
that it was to prevent her boarding
the brig, which was under his protec
tion. The captain of the man of war
then observed, it was wery surprising
that a British 714 gun ship could not
examine a merchant brig ! Capt. Perry
replied, if The had been a firlt :g:
ship the should not do it to the dif
horior of his flig. He then in polite
terms, asked Capt. Perry if he would
consent to the brig’s being examined ;
Capt. Perry aflented, but observed that
it would be useless, as he knew her
campo to be no ways liable to seizure.
The General Greene arrived yester
day at Newport, all well.
