BOSTON, MAY 6.
£) Since our lag, various .arrivals from Eu
rope, have furnifhed us with intelligence Sixteen
days later than before received. Syptoms of
approaching Peace are apparent in.every part of
Europe, except the North. Tranquillity ap
pears to be detired by both the English and
french Governments : To the happiness of both
nations it is highly necessary. From a perusal
of the French and English papers, it is highly
probable, that the lag ad of the war tragedy,
is in representation ; and that the drama will
close with the approaching summer. Terms,
and not principles, are now the object.
' ^ In the North, notwithstanding these ap
pearances, war is putting on its armour. A
very strong British fleet has been spoken at the
.entrance of the Sound, whose destination is hof
tik to Denmark, Sweden and Russia ; who have
been making preparations to meet their assail
ants. There ar§ some, however, who fee, under
all this "pomp of preparation," the secret work
ings of negotiation ; and predict that the cam
paign will be bloodiefs.
g. The English expedition against Egypt
excites {peculation. No official accounts of the
landing of the British in that country, had been
received. The French squadron which flipped
out of Brest, did not flop at Toulon,as reported ;
but it is drought proceeded directly for Egypt,
where Ld. Keith has about an equal force.
gin England the Ministry had been chang
ed- and the tone of the government towards
France, had fallen several notes. The king had
perfectly recovered his insanity ; and, on the
pofpe&s of Peace, the flocks were riling.
YeQerday the Hon. Oliver Ellsworth,
late Envoy of the United States to the French
Republic, arrived 'here, in the fop Nancy,
Capt. Orne, from Bristol; and was immediate
ly waited upon by. a numbeßfoCgentlempn of
fefpe&bility.
Joseph Clay, appointed a Judge of the sth
circuit court U. S, has declined his appointment.
On Monday, the 16th inst. died suddenly in
this town, a lady who had resided here but a
Short time, and who was brought to town by a
mr. William Hastings, lately from Boston, and
passed as bis wife. She was remarkable for her
extreme beauty and genteel deportment. The
next day her remains were buried in the silent
tom 3,
And gradually fouk, to the infinite dis
tress of the admiral and other fpefta
tors, who were nearly frantic with grief,
at this tremendous fcenc of human mi
sery and deftru&ion.—While the ship
was thus rapidly going down,the launch
was hove out—as many of the
crew as flic could possibly hold, instant
ly jumped on board and had only time
to clear the poop, when the vessel, with
upwards of 400 fouls, entirely difap
geared, and went to the bottom. A
number of the unhappy fuffcrers at
tempted to get on board the already
overladen launch, but asmo more could
be permitted to enter, without the cer
tain loss of the whole, they were struck
away with the oars, and in a few se
conds became wholly ingulphed in the
pitiless waters. Capt. Rennie, after
the ffiip had funk, attempted te swim
to the launch, and after a levcre exer
tion got within reach of the oars, when
exhausted with fatigue, and unable to
make any farther efforts, he calmly
lengned himfelf to his fate. Lifting
up his hands as if to implore the bluf
fing of beayen, and immediately after
placing them upon his face, he went
directly down without another Itrug
gle.
All the other commissioned officers
of the Ihip except Lieutenant Tucker
and Quaffi, together with all the offi
cers and marines, and moll of their
men, likewise went to the bottom.
About 70 or 80 of the crew were
saved by means of the launch,the whole
of whom assembled upon the forecaf
tie ; but all those who remained on
the poop were loft—The total number
es human beings who thus found a wa
tery grave, amount to upwards of
400, among whom were several passen
gers on their way to join their ships
belong^ to the North Sea Fleet.
The number saved, including officers,
is stated at 195.
The Invincible was one of the oldest
ships in the Navy. She was built in
<766, and had not returned many
months from the W. Indies, where she
had been Rationed under the command
of Capt. Caley since 1795.
-Thisafflicting disaster is attributed
solely to the ignorance of the pilot. ,
Mr. Hastings has since acknowledged, that
She was not his wife, that she was the wife of
one Cottcrie, from whom she deferred—and
that she was the daughter of a refpedtable
clergyman in England, by the name of Monroe,

The accuracy of the following ftatemeut is
certified by the clerk and two officers of the
Adams.
" On Tuefday afternoon at 4 o'clock, March
17, 1801, a duel was fought at Cape Francois,
between two officers of the U. S. frigate Adams;
Killian Van Rensselaer, ift Lieutenant, and
Mr. George R. Turner, 2d Lieutenant.—mr.
Van Ranffelaer gave the challenge, and fired
firft; but fell with the firft (hot from mr. Tur
ner : the distance ten paces—the ball flruck
mr. Van Rcnffclaer just above the right temple
and fractured his fkuil: I performed the opera
tion of trepan upon him the following morning
at 8 o'clock, (in company with three fclpcdta
ble French Surgeons) and took out fe verahpie
ces of bone from the brain, that had been dri
ven into the fubftanceof it, by the force of the
ball; he died the fame evening at 11 o'clock,
land was buried next day with all the honors of
war, the colors of all American veffcls in port
flying half mast high and the ship firing minute
guns. JAMES DODGE,
Surgeon of the U. S.frigate Adame.
A duel has been fought near Richmond,
between Messrs Amiftead Seldon and Shelton
Jones, in which the former, at the firft fire was
unfortunately shot through the body, and in

A dalhing Female Swindler, named Miss
Robertson, hav defrauded a number of trades
men of several thousand pounds. She had a
boarding school, 2 years, at Croom Hill, Green
wi ch,during which timelhe kept her carriage, &
represented herfelf as the heiress to large estates
in Scotland, pretending fame time ago, that an
uncle was dead in Scotland, and that the estates
in question, had devolved to her. On this pre
tence, Die not only obtained large sums of mo
ney, of various persons, but likewise furnifhed
an elegant house at Blackheath, and lived in a
stile of the utmost splendor. Some of the cred
itors at length began to fufped all was not
right ; and Mr. Oakley, the Furniture Ware
houl'e-man, having sent large quantities of goods
to the premises on Blackheath, was the firft to
fccure himfelf. He went with a writ in Februa
ry last, to Blackheath. Miss Robertson had
gone out ; she had some notion of what was
going forward, and did not return. Mr. Oak
ley with his men, got into the house in the eve
ning, and to do himfelf all the right he could,
disrobed the whole mansion of all its furniture
before fix o'clock next morning. Miss Robert
son held herfelf forth as the relative of Mr. Dun
das, Lord Paget, the bishop of London, &c. —
Mr. Oakley was to furnifh the house for 4000/.
6 looking-glasses were to cost 1100/, the prin
cipal bed 500/. Among the persons defrauded,
are the following—Mr. Creafy, of Greenwich,
2ocol money borrowed; Carpenter at Green
wich, 1400/ , Bricklayer, 900/; Painter & Gla
zier, 700/; Stablekeeper, who lent horfgs, 300/;
a Nurfcryman, for lawns and pleasure grounds,
&c. 400/. Among the London creditors, 260/
to a Milliner for dresses, &c, Amiss Sharp, is
mentioned as the partner of Miss Robertson,
and a meeting of their creditors has been ad
vertised ; perhaps with a view to set aside Mr.
Oakley's seizure, &c. and to get a fair distribu
tion of the effeas.

lately figured in London, will be found interring.
