On the 14th infant, arrived here,
Snow Mahitable, Knapp from Ber
muda, On his passage from France,
was taken the 10th of last April, cff
Cape-Charles, having a pilot on board,
by the Lynx (loop of war, the Cleo
patra and Hussar in company, the
Lieut, of the Lynx came on board,
avowedly as a friend. He reminded
Capt. Knapp, that the British and
Americans having lately concluded a
treaty, he should not doubt of bis
friendship. He then sa id, that as the
Snow came from an enemy's port, he
must search the Captain's box. The
Capt. told him he would deliver to
him all his papers relative to the voy
age ; but he thought it most conve
nient to search for them himfelf.—
Having obtained possession of them,
and of the bills of lading for the cash
on board, he began to enquire whe
ther there was any calh on board.—
The Capt. told him th-re was, and
he immediately asked to fee it. His
curiosity having been f&tisfiedjhe o
bliged the Capt. to go on board 'he
Lynx, and while there, boarded the
Snow with spades and pickaxes, to
search for more cash, even among the
ballast and the ball of rope-yarn ; for
the fame purpose, they opened the
beef-barrels, &c. by which means the
chief part of the provifioos were
Spoiled. At about 6in the morning
the Capt. was taken on board the
Lynx, at about nine he was sent on
board the Cleopatra, and between 3
and 4 he was permitted to return to
his own vessel, when he found they
had taken all the crew out, except
the cook and a boy, and put their
own people in to navigate the vessel,
which looked like a wreck.
Nine thbufand five hundred and
ninety two crowns, belonging to Mr.
NichoUpo of Philadelphia, and 5636
to the Capt. and owner had disap
peared, all except about 14 crowns
which thev overlooked in tbe Cap
tain's tiurk — .The Snow arrived at
Bermuda the 26th April : the Capt.
was detained on board as prisoner till
the afternoon of the 2&h, when some
Americans procured his release. A
bout the 10th May, Mr. Jno. Fisher,
marshal of the court of Vice Admi
ralty and agent for Murray's fquad
roo, proposed to the Capt. that if he
would relinquish Mr. Nicholson's
money and give him a bond that no
body Should claim it until the time
was el&pfcd for laying in a claim, the
libel fh ] ud be withdrawn from the
vessel, his own money, 5622 crowns
restored, all with the Snow free ex
pense, and that prQvifions should be
put on board, and (he permitted to
fail in 24 hours. This the Capt. ofc
course refufed to coofent to ; when
Fisher after ufirg vain threats and
persuasion by turn?, left Capt. K—
About the 20th May, Murray's (qua
dron arrived ; they took their men
cut of the Snow and lent the ere,
on board, telling the Cap:, they had
nothing further to do with her.
About the 18th of June, however,
the Judge Green condemned the
15092 crowns as enemy's property.
The Capt. then made interest co get
security for an appeal. Having pro
cured it about the 2d of July, his
Malay's agents said they would
:croft appeal for the vessel. The
Judge immediately ordered it ap
praised, which put the Capt. to @d
ditional <xpenfe of getting security io
a bond for the appraised value. They
evenappraifed a few deer skins, that
Capt. K. had taken to France, but
which nut having fold there he bro'c
back.
NEWYORK.AUG, 21.
FROM EUROPE.
The (hip Nancy, Capt. Butler, ar
rived yesterday from Havre-de-Grace,
io 4.9 days, in this vessel came pas
senger, Col. Fullerton, an American
gentleman ; who left Paris just before
his failing.
This gentleman acquaints us that
provisions were not so scarce in France
as they had been for some time past.
Rice, among other articles, had fallen
from 90 to 37 livres. He further ad
vifei that our treaty with England had
made considerable noise among the
inhabitants : And that Mr. Munroe,
our Minister there, found his situa
tion considerably different from what
it was a few months ago. Col. Ful
lerton brings difpatcHet of importance
from Mr. Munroe to our Executive.
From private letters received by the
/hip Mercury, in 42 days from Hav
re, we learn, chat the price of provi
sions had so far fallen in France, that
several vtffels laden with fl >ur, which
had arrived about the time of the fail
ing of the Mercury, had immediately
departed for ports in Holland, t

By the last Mail, we received the
following information.
PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. §.
Last evening arrived here the brig Har
mony, Capt. Tucker, 54 days from Liver
pool—by this arrival we are furnifhed with
English papers to July 9— on a hasty perusal
of them, we observe nothing of consequence
to have taken place since the engagement eff
Belifle, (of which the papers greatly exult in)
and the captureof Luxemburg by the French,
(of which they sing low.)
London, July 9. At length the Ot
toman Porte has acknowledged the French
Republic, and has received citizen Verniac
in quality of an Ambassador from it. On
this occasion the latter presented the Drago
man, with a superb watch, of the value of
6000 piaftres, which formerly belonged to
the unfortunate Queen of France.
parts, j,ly 6. All our letters from the
departments of the Rhine, advise us that a
suspension of arms is on the point of being
concluded between the French armies and
those of the Combined Powers. It is said
that hegociations are even on the tapis, and
which import that France will restore Belgi
um to the House of Austria, with the excep
tioh of Weft Flanders, and particularly the
ports of Oftend and Nieuport, which will be
ceded to France as an indemnification for the
expenses of the War. The intelligence from
Biuffels confirms this disposition, and it adds,
that this is doubtless thecaufe of the French
,pushing with such aßivity for the recovery
of the impofuions in Belgium, and that they
will fortify the towns of Weft-Flanders, leav
ing in ruins the fine Castle of Namur.
National Contention, 16 Miffdor, "July 4.
Doulcet-Pontecoulant interrupted the De
bate, by informing the Convention of a let
ter received from Chiappe, the Representa
tive of the People with the army in Italy,
dated
" Head- Quarters, at Pinhdl, %tb Meffidor.
" We informed you yesterday of the vic
tories of the zd, 4th and 6th ; at present we
are enabled to communicate to you an ac
count of that of the 7th.— Our army yester
day morning had been attacked by 30,000
of the enemy ; they had a success which c< ft
them dear. The engagement lasted (even
hours, after which our troops repulsed the
enemy to a great distance, and killed 3,000
of them ; they took three important posts.
Our loL was but inconsiderable ; we had
:7b men killed or wounded. All the reports
which we receive, announce that our troops
are in the best portion possible. The be
ginning of the r>onth Pr^irial has cost the
enemy 4,000 men. The Austrians threaten
ity „th^n we are prepared
to receive them in the fame manner."
A letter was read from Gen. Kellerman,
whi^h contained nearly the fame account ;
it added that 300 of the Austrians were made
prisoners, and between 5 and 600 firelocks
taken from them. The Gen. ended his let
ter thus,—" I know the enemy are prepar
ing to attack us afrefh ; they have received
great Reinforcements ; but we are ready for
them, and I prepare for them a decent re
ception." -(Applauded.)
lon don, july°6. It is rumoured, on
the authority of a letter said to have been
received from Toulon, dated the zzd June,
via Calais, that the British and French fleets
in the Mediterranean had had an adion, des
perate, but not decisive.
The Empress of Russia has required of the
Austrian Ministry in Gallicia, that the Em
peror's troops should resign to those of her
Majesty, the Polish diftrift of Volhynia, and
the Wbywodlhip of Chelm.
CHRONICLE—boston, sept, fr
Yesterday arrived brig Thetis, Capt. Felt,
61 days from London, with several " adju
dicated" Captains and other gentlemen pas
sengers—By them we learn that the British
Blips of war are daily fending in neutral ves
sels, let them be bound to or from where they
may, or whatever are their cargoes. Among
them are a great number of Americans :—
It is said these captures are under NEW
ORDERS, io consequence of Jay's Treaty.
Tha, the merchants after knowing the gen
eral principles of the Treaty, were so confi
dent that the Americans would never lubmit
to it, that they were in doubt whether to (hip
goods or not. They had no. idea of the A
mericans ever receiving a farthing for adju
dicated property. So much for British Am
ity. All this from the Chronicle.
A gentleman who came in the brig, has
obligingly favored the Editors with London
papers—from them what follows are
EXTRACTS.
London, July 4. . A report has reach
ed Dover from France of an engagement
having taken place in the Mediterranean,
between Admiral Hotham's fleet and that
from Toulon. This report was likewise re
ceived yesterday by the way of Hamburgh.
No o'ber particulars refpe&ing this impor
tan event have yet reached this country,
than that it is said to have been a very blo dy
engagement. We give this merely as a re
port brought by a neutral vessel from Calais
to Dover, without wishing to vouch for the
truth of it. f
IMPORTANT!
Paris, June 27. A Member
of the Committee of Public Wel
fare read a letter from a Repre
sentative of the People with the
army of the Eastern Pyrenees ;
it announced, that on the 26th
of last month (June 15) that ar

over the Spaniards: ' Twelve
thousand of our men who pro #
te&ed a convoy of forage, were
attacked by 20,000 of the ene
my, the battle lasted for ten
hours ; our soldiers performed
prodigies of valour ; the enemy were com
pletely defeated ; their loss cannot be less
than from 1000 to 1200 men—ours is only
8c killed, and about 200 wounded."

Dul/eldorf, June 11. The misunderflanding
between tbe Cabinets of Vienna ^ Berlin becomes
daily more and more manifeft. Count Clairfayt
hasjuft declared to Gen. Meilendorf, that be will
not rejpea the limits of tbe treaty of peace between
France and Prussia, and that be will carry tbe

In the Prussian army, they talk openly of an ap
