Extract, a tetter from Mr. Patrick Thgert, to
Andro Ellicot, Esq. dated Cowetab lallabuffee,
Crek Nation, June 11,1800.
« ft Marks was fur rendered to Bowles the
SOthMay iaft, and by the articles of capitula
tionbetween him and the commandant, the lat
ter was permitted to march out, and with dif
ficilty got an escort to fee him and his men fife
ou of the Bay. During the siege, Bowles cap
tired two or three vessels laden with provisions
aid other (lores, for the use of the fort, just as
gfieyhad arrived.
" Since Gen. Bowles got possession of Sty
Marks, the Indians are flocking to his flandard
from every quarter—even the prince of this
town immediately after the Colonel* had gone
to the talks at the Tookawbatchees, started
down to the mifehief maker, with many others
of the Tallaffees, Cufferahs, &c.
The Colonel arrived here the night before
last from the Tookawbatchees ; the chiefs there
have taken his talks, and have promised to hold
their warriors in readiriefs to go with him at his
call and aid him with all their might in teftor
ing peace to the nation, reducing the Seminole#
and others, to obedience, and expelling or tak
ing every mifehief maker that comes into their
land.
" Bowles' next design is fufeded to be against
Pensacola, as he has now got not only a strong
force, but plenty of provisions arid other (lores."
• Got. Hate Line Agent Gen.for the U. State's.
Fort St. Marks is situated on a point of land,
formed by the junction of the.Apalache & ano
ther river about the fame size, and ihfulated by
a deep wet ditch, joining the rivers. The fort
is built of hewn done ; the walls are nearly 20
feet high, and defended by 20 pieces of ord
nance. It was formerly a place of considerable
importance and the rcfidence of some of the
Spanish governors ; but has been on the decline
ever since the Floridas were ceded to Great Bri
tain by the peace of 1763. —On account of the
shoals, and numerous oyster banks in the Bay
& River, it is not considered as a good seaport,
but is advantageoudy situated for the Indian
trade.'
NEW-TORK, JULY 2g.
Mr. John Shaw,who is the bearer of dispatches
to our government from Tunis, arrived at Phi
ladelphia on Thursday the last, in (hip Lib
erty, from Lisbon. He arrived at Li(bon the
ift of May, after having been driven by stress
of weather, into several ports of Sicily and Mal
ta; and brings the following articles of intelli
gence:
“ The government of Algiers is well affe&ed
towards the U. States ; hut the Tunisians have
been very impatient for the arrival of the stipu
lated military (lores. Mr. Eaton our Cohful
there, has however, prevailed upon them to
wait sometime longer ; and the desire the Bey's
minister has expressed of obtaining American
bottoms to convoy grain to Spain, has been an
additional motive to this measure.
“ Though all the States of Barbary (except
Morocco) are at war with France, yet the Fr.
merchants, resident in Tunis,have not been made
slaves of as in Algiers, but are permitted to rc
fide in the fa&ory in full possession of their pro
perty. They are not, however, permitted to go
out of the fa&ory.:
“ In September ,1798, the Tunisians, with a
squadron of 4 cruisers, made a descent upon the
little island of St. Peters, in the vicinity of Sar
dinia, and landing in the night, carried off 120
men, and 700 women and children, who were
conveyed to Tunis, and consigned to slavery.—
Don Antonio Porcile, who was one of the pris
oners, was dispatched by the Bey to Sardinia, to
endeavor to procure the ransom. They return
ed in May 1799, with his father, the Count
of St. Antioch, they being appointed by the
King of Sardinia,joint ambaffadprs to negotiate
for this purpose. They brought with them let
ters from the Sardinian Secretary of State to
the Consuls of the different European powers,'
requeuing their friendly interference with the
Bey. By their influence, a treaty was conclu
ded, in which the price of ransom was fixed at
500,000 dollars to the Bey, and 50,000 to the
Sappatappa his minister ; and for the payment
of this it was stipulated, that the plate of the
churches should be pledged. %9 this treaty
was preferred to the King of Sardinia, he rc
fufed to ratify it, but promised to fend to Leg
horn, to negotiate a loan of the money.
"In the mean while, the venerable Count
Porcile, who, at the age of 84 years, thus saw
himfclf forced to undertake this his fifth embas
sy to Barbary ; overcome with distress and anx
iety for the ominous appearance of this business,
on the event of which depended the liberty
of two of his sons and four of his grand daugh
ters, funk under the burthen, and expired.
"In Nov. 1799, the Sappatappa, by order of
the Bey wrote to the different Consuls who
jhad witnessed the treaty, that unless the money
was paid by the 10th of January ensuing, the
prisoners would all be fold at public auction
for slaves. The iffuc of this business has not since
been heard.
" Encouraged by their firfl expedition, the
Tunisians dispatched another squadron of 7 Ail,
commanded by the chief of the former, Mo
hammed Rais, a noted pirate, to the island of
Maddalena, on the N. E. coast pf Sardinia.- —
700 bf them landed, but were so warmly receiv
ed that not one of them returned on board.

IMPORTANT—IF TRUE!
Several gentlemen who arrived here yester
day morning from Providence, inform us, that
they saw a Hand Bill at that place, printed in
New-York, which contained Intelligence of the
highest importance : the particulars as dated
in the Hand Bill so far as we can recoiled, are
these—" That Buonaparte by forced marches
had reached Italy ; had attacked and totally
defeated the Auftriah force under Gen Melas,
and formed a jundion with gen, Maffena ; that
Gen. Kray had been again defeated by Moreau
and that the combined French and Spanish fleets
had quitted Brest—This intelligence is said to
have been received at Newyork, from Lisbon,
via St. Bartholomews, 28 days—lt is not iru
poffible but that the events above dated may
s>rove true. *yet it must be confeffed they bear
ome affinity to that species of Norfolk news
which the public have been bored with for ma-
By years.
Letter from Halifax, July 17.
On the 19th of May the Channel
Fleet under Ld. St. Vincent, put into
Torbay in distress—several of the (hips
difmalted, and otherways materially
injured.—This gave the Combined
Fleets an opportunity to leave Brest,
which 'tis said they embraced, and had
actually failed.—On the 27th May Ld.
St. Vincents, with as many of his Ships
as could be got ready, and several 0-
thers that had joined him, put to lea m
quest of the enemy .Should they mekt,
the cQnfcqueQce is obvious. *
From Baltimore, July 11.
" I find that here, as at the northward, Fc
deralifm almost univerfaliy accompanies talents,
7 information and rcfpedtability. The approach
ing election engages a large Ihare of ffolitital at
tentjon. —l%ere is now, t believe, no doubt of
our following the example of Massachusetts—
, in which cife all our votes will be in favour of
;Adams and Pinckney— The Demos, who
have made such fore and correct calculations
in favour of Jefferson, now cease to triumph,
and the candid among them already acknow
ledge their fears of a defeat—l pray God that
they may be realized—and considering the
well-founded expectations of an increase ofl
federal votes in North-Carolina, we have no ,
-room to hesitate in pronouncing the election of
Mr Adams, and General Pinckney, as cer- 1
Stain. We arc at present very healthy, and in J
little apprehension of the fever,—though our J
police very much want that activity, and at
tention to cleanliness which characterize your
Board of Health." 1/1
' From HALIFAX, July 17.
I The Duke of Kent leaves this place in a short
time, being as we have just learnt by the pac
ket, appointed Commander in Chief of the
army in Ireland.
, Royalifm is said in the late papers to gain'
ground faft in Paris—but whether in favour of
t Louis XVIIIth or King Buonaparte, is perhaps
!problematical.
I find, as yet, nothing refpe&ing American
affairs, amidfl the immense perplexity and im
portance of European politics, transatlantic con
,Cerns appear unnoticed.

Marblehead, boundfrom thence to Spain, and which
was sent in by tbe St. Albans—laden with Fi/b,
Cocoa, Sugar, &b. She was condemned on tbe princi

Neutral Vessels from carrying tbe Produce of tbe
Colonies of tbe Enemies of Great Britain to the

By Capt. Hudson, lately arrived at
Newport, from the Havannah, from
whence he failed under convoy of the
U. S. frigate Gen. Greene, we are in
formed, that while on the passage from
New-Orleans to the Havannah, with an
American brig under convoy, the Gen.
Greene fell in with a British 74 gun Ihip,
which fired a (hot at the brig to bring
"her too for examinaticn. As neither
the brig nor the Gen. Greene paid any
attention to this, a boat was dispatched
from the 74 to board the brig. The
Gen. Greene upon this fired a (hot at
the boat, which immediately brought
her along fide ; in consequence of which
the U bore down and spoke the frigate
demanding the rcafon why her boat
was fired upon ;—to which Capt- Per
ry replied, that it wasto prevent her
boarding the brig which was under
his protection. The Captain of the man
of war then obferted; it Was vbryfur

Accounts from Europe -'
O'Reach us in such numbers, and from such
various quarters that it requires very ftri& ac
tention to dates and situations to form a correct
opinion of their accuracy or probability.
Our regular series of London papers are down
to June jth. They contain accurate delineations
lofI of the progress of belligerent cvents towards the
; latter end of May.—At that time, affairs io It
। aly and Germany ,were at a m rnenrous crisis;
;and decisive events appeared inevitable. Inßead
l of Summary, to the arrangements under our Fo
reign heads, we n^uft refer our readers.
{CT Reports to much later dates have, how
ever, been in circulation—They are from Gib
raltar, Great-Britaio, and France— From Gi6-
ralter, it will be recolle&ed, that Capt. Orne,
who arrived at Salem the 18th inst. brought
intelligence as late as the 16th June, which Ra
ted, that on the 18th May, Maffena made a
fuccefsful sortie from Genoa ; and that that city
was supplied with pr ovifions—From Great-Bri
1 tain, we have accounts To June 10th, brought
to Halifax, by the June packet; which state
that reinforcements bad marched from the ar
my of the Rhine to Italy ; flhat Genoa held out,
and had actually been relieved ; and that Bu
onaparte had defeended on to the plains of
Piedmont—We, however, stated last week, that
his army had reached the vicinity of Turin,
the capital of Piedmont—From France we
have accounts via Guadaloupe, St. Bartholo
mews, and New-York ; at which last place
Capt. Stanwood arrived on Thursday last, in
forming of intelligence from Bourdeaux, as late
at the Bth of June, Rating the arrival of Bu
onaparte before Genoa, the relief of that place,
the capture of three fourths of Melas's army,
;Jethit Italy wasiu the possession of the French.
:—lc is easy to perceive the inflation of these
I particulars, but the recency of their daces render
;them partly probable* The very next arrivals
from Europe muR be anxiously looked for.
{^.Several accounts state the failing of the
combined fleet from Brest ; Capt. Stanwood fays,
.the commander of a British packet, which fail
ed from England the 12th June, reported at
Martinico, that on h:s passage he fell in with a
British frigate bound for England, with dis
patches from Lord St. Vincents, dating that
the Brest fleet, ofjt fail of the line, were at sea.
The arrival at Halifax also stated that the com
bined fleets had left port ; but we have a let
ter from London before us, dated June 4th,
which fays, “ The French fleet four days ago
put out of Brest, but Lord St. Vincents appear
ing, they returned with all convenient fpeed/4—
We have been thus particular, that we might 0-
mit comment.
O' The English have made ^ landing in Qui
beron Bay, and have taken Fort Penthievre.
gs There are several accounts from our en
voys ; but none official—or in fad, more than
conjecture. Those conjectures are favorable to
a fatisfa&ory issue. [Centinel]

BOSTON, AUGUST 1.
Tbe following is extraUsd from a Paris paper of
'June Ift received at Philadelphia
On die 20th May, arrived in the
Road of Havre, the American frigate
Portsmouth, Captain McNeil, of 26
twelve pounders, in 36 days from New
York, Two officers came ashore near
the Battery de la Heve, and were ef
cofted to the City by the soldiers of
the post. They went to inform the
commander, that this frigate had been
sent to Havre, to wait there for the
Commissioners, who were negociating
with our government. They received
aifurances that the French nation, and
particularly the inhabitants of Havre
would give them an honorable and
hospitable reception.
They returned on board with a
French officer, an interpreter and a
pilot, who were doubtless charged to
offer the captain any assistance he might
stand in need of, and to make the neces
sary arrangements for the entry of the
frigate. On the officer's going ashore,
the Portsmouth fired 15 guns. The
batteries returned the salute with nine
guns, which was answered by the Ports
mouth with 15 more.—The negocia
tion is near being honorably terminated
for both parties ; and, it is expelled, the
American Commissioners will leave this
city, the latter end of June.

A Touch of the Terrific !—The
following instance of alarm and panic,
as it recently happened at Tarefcon in
Francois related in a Swiss journal.—
A citizen at that place digging in his
cellar, which is near the Rhone, found
an iron door whicli led into acave,
heard such a frightful noise asprevent
ed him from carrying his curiosity any
further.—The Muncipality hearing of
the circumstance, promised to liberate
any of the prisoners who would venture
to the extreme of the cave ; one soon
tried the expeDent, but as he advanc
ed 'he noise irrafed, and he came back
pale and trer ling, declaring he would
a thpufand times sooner return to his
confinement,than perish by an unknown
death. But fix more courageous work
men being afterwards employed, they
soon found another door, and that this
was a fubterraneous passage which for
merly led to the town of Beaucaire, and
that the noise was only occasioned by
the rapidity of the Rhone rolling over
their heads.
