NEW-YOR K, November 30.
Last Saturday evening died, of a consumption, at
twenty-two years of age, in the house of Richard So
derftrom, esquire, consul from his majesty the king
of Sweeden, to the United States of America, Mr.
Hans Spragen, a young gentleman, son of a very
eminent merchant.at Gottenburgh, in Sweeden: his
remains were, on Monday night, honoured with the
presence of his excellency, almost all the foreign mi
nisters, consuls, and a vast number of the refpedtable
inhabitants of this city, joined also by a large body
of the German society, who attended the corpse to
the Lutheran church, in the cemetry of which it was
deposited, after divine service had been performed,
and an excellent sermon preached to a large congre
gation, by the rev. Dr. Kunze. The deceased was
a person of a most exemplary disposition and charac
ter.—l he loss of him is most finccrely lamented by
all his friends.
On the 21st ult. arrived in the harbour of Ports
mouth in New-Hampshire, the ship Free-Trade, capt.
Hopely Yeaton, in 55 days from Havre de Grace. A
correspondent has favoured us with the following ex
tract from a letter received by captain Yeaton, from
an American of diftin&ion in France, dated Paris,
September 11.
"In spite of treaties, England is fill ouf ene
my, her hatred is deep rooted and cordial, and nothing
is wanting with her but the power to wipe us and the
land we live on out of existence. Her interest, how
ever, is her ruling passion, and the late American
measures have struck at that so vitally, and with an
energy too of which she thought us quite incapable,
that a possibility seems to open of forming some arrange
ment with her. When they shall fee decidedly, that
without it we shall suppress their commerce with us,
they will be agitated by their avarice on one hand,
and their hatred and their fear of us on the other:
the result of this conflid of dirty pallions is yet to be
awaited. The body of the people of this country
love us cordially."
A clergyman favoured mr. Hawes, of London,
with the following communication, which unquefti
cnably proves that the signs of death are extremely
equivocal; so that on the principles of humanity, it
is to be hoped a serious attention will be paid to this
letter, which may prevent any person in future being
prematurely laid out, or, what is more horrid, being
buried alive.
“ Mis. Jones, in consequence of a mifearriage, was
supposed to have expired; the nurse closed her eyes,
tied up her jaw, and laid her out. An hour and three
quarters after her supposed decease, mr. Carson cal
led, and on viewing the corpse, expressed a hope that
notwithstanding appearances, death might not yet have
adually taken place.
" In oppolition to prejudices, and at the expence
of his understanding, in the opinion of the bye dand
ers, he proposed endeavouring to recover the young
woman. The methods principally made use of were
applications of hot flannels, sprinkled with volatiles,
&c. mrs. Jones recovered, and very obligingly offers
to answer any enquiry made on the fubjed."
Dec. I. They write from Lyons, in France, that
the orders from Germany, Constantinople and Spain,
are so great for their manufactures, that the workmen
cannot possibly answer them.
Dec. 5. On Friday arrived the Ship Governor
Clinton, commanded by captain Christopher Miller.
This vessel had a passage of forty-nine days from
London, and brought the following gentlemen:
John Watts, jun. esquire.
Mr. Jacob Seaman, of this city.
Captain Abbot of the British royal artillery, and
captain Antherton, on their way for Canada.
Yesterday arrived at this port from Dublin, the
brig Nymph, captain John Palmer: In which came
paflengers meffrs. M'Clenachan and Weft, merchants
of Philadelphia.
On the second of November, capt. Palmer spoke
" On the sth a Neapolitan prize was brought in,
as also two Spanish vessels from America, laden with
sugar, coffee, fleins, and some specie; these were
however liberated by the regency as the count d'Ef
p:lly proved that they were really Spanish and not
Neapolitan vessels as had been supposed. Three Por
tuguese vessels in ballast have been taken, and the
crews, confiding of 32 men, put in irons. A pack
et boat belonging to his most Christian majesty, with
defpatches from the French squadron in the Medi
terranean for Brest; an English and two other Frencli
veflels, were brought in under a pretence that their
paTports were not regular, and it was with great
difficulty that the English and French consuls ob
tained their release., Ten corsairs who failed the sth
of J u 'y> are returned, and two others are hourly ex
pected; they have taken during their cruise two Nea
politan, one Genoefe, one American, and seven Por
tuguese vessels of small value.
" It is impossible to readtbe above accounts, with
out shuddering at the audacity of these robbers, who
seize without hesitation, whatever falls in their way.
But the greatest blame is surely due to the absurd
fyfem, which not only fuffers them to infeft the seas
and interrupt commerce, but furnijhes them with
the means, by the annual tributes meanly paid to these
banditti." '

" We hope the Congress have taken some steps to
make a treaty with the Baibary States; the Algerines
particularly swarm over this sea and the ocean, since the
conclusion of the truce with Spain, which let serve for
your government."
Extras of a letter from Huffington, North-Caro
lina, dated October 20, 1785.
“ Last night arrived here the brig Betsey, captain
Longhead, after a very distressing voyage. On Sa
turday at 4 o'clock, P. M. she overfet, when the peo
ple were obliged to cut away her masts; by which'
means the vessel righted."

Last 1 hurfday afternoon a sloop came to anchor
off North Edifto, and sent her beat on shore, in or

market.

here the 2d of this month, had an audience of the
dey, and was most graciously received.
" On the sth twelve corsairs of different sizes

" That his Catholic majesty cbuld not consent to
any military or naval stores being given, but was
willing to pay the value of them in money." To this
declaration the dey replied, “ That, if the king of
Spain would not comply with what had been stipulat
ed on that head, war would be re-commenced im
mediately."

driest season; and is not more than thirty miles from
Coopers ferries, nine from a publick landing, within

npHE fubferiber, having built a com^

lading all kinds of country produce, and hav
ing proper boats for transporting the fame to New-
York, which fail from this place twice a week, gives
this publick notice, and engages to receive into his
store, and carry to New-York, all kinds of calle goods,
at fix-pence per barrel for flour, and in that propor
tion for all larger calks. The farmer, country tra
der and miller, are reminded of the expence they
have, for two winters last past, been at in removing
their flour, flaxfeed and other articles by land from.
New-Brunswick, after they had been there stored,
in order that they might be exported from hence to
New-York, the navigation of the river Raritan hav
ing been for a long time intirely obtruded by the
ice.—The profpeft they have to dispose of their pro
duce here at the New-York market price, by wl.ch
the whole commission on the sales will be saved, and
the certainty of getting their produce to market im
mediately upon the intelligence of an advanced price
at New-York, cannot but be matters worthy their
confideration.'
