Extrad of a letter from an American gentleman,
dated Liverpool, 20 May.
" By an American just arrived from
Paris, I am informed that our Com
missioners have obtained secret infor
mation, that the consuls had authorif
ed, by recent inftrudions, the capture
of every Afaerican found trading to
-any part of the Weft-Indies; while or
ders are given to let those pass that are
bound to Europe, except they are met
by cruizers belonging to particular per
sons, who have paid for the fpecial.pri
vilege to make general captures. Hence
you will often find, that after a nation
al frigate or corvette has let your fliips
pass, the privateers Talleyrand, &c. will
fend her into port as good prize.—•
Thus, the national ships are made de
coy ducks for the privateers belonging
^ the Favorites of the Consuls."

Extras of a letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux,
to a refpeaable boufe in Philadelphia, dated May
2, 1800.
" From the heft information we have
received from Paris, it appears that the
negociution with the American minis
ters goes on but slowly at present. The
French privateers are continually bring
ing in American vessels. On the 27th
oflaft month, was brought in here, a
fine fliip called the Portland, captain
Pollard, from New-York to Liverpool.
Some hopes are entertained of her be
ing released. The power with which
Buonaparte is invested exceeds that of
every king who ever ruled over France.
Every thing is very quiet here. Re
ports slate that the French army in
Italy has been defeated. Coffee and
sugar is in demand. Provisions are
low."
Capt. Derby, from Naples, via Gi
bralter, brings the pleasing intelligence,
that the differences between the barba
ry Powers and this country were
happily accommodated—and that the
tribute Ship, with the Treaty-stipulat
ed Merchandize and Treasure on
board, had fafely arrived at Algiers,
after a long passage.
Extra& of a letter from Leghorn to a gentleman in
this town, dated April 23.
" The fall of Genoa is hourly ex
peded. The news by the express this
day is that every fort round the town,
and within shot of it are in possession of
the Austrians, and it is expeded in the
morning we shall have the accounts of
the surrender. They several days past
offered to capitulate but the terms were
rejected.
" April 25. —The information of
yesterday's express from Genoa is, that
all the Provisions in the town, includ
ing horses, &c. would not last 12 days,
and that the reinforcements which were
on their way to its relief had been cut
off with considerable loss—so that we
are expecting hourly the news of its
capture.
" Augufa, off Aux Cayes, June 4, 1800.
" I Yesterday fell in with and captured off
Jacmel, two French febooners, one called La
Vidorie, and the other La Jeanne of St. Domin
go both of which I conceive it my duty to fend
home for trial. The papers of each vcffel are
sealed up separately and delivered to the ref
pedive prize-masters, viz. those of the Jeanne
to Mr. David Deacon, and those of the Vic
torie to Mr. John Young."
" IT is with much concern I announce to you,
fir, that the Yellow Fever has commenced its
ravages among our contrymen at this place.
A number of seamen, and several persons who
resided on Ihore, have lately fallen victims to
this dreadful disease, and several are now under
the hands of the physician."

'' HAVING at length amicably ad

I desire you would communicate this
agreeable intelligence to the matters of
American vessels, who may come with

" The principal Minister of the Bey,
has pledged himfelf that the last clause
of the 12th article of our treaty with
this Regency, inserted by Joseph Eticn
ne Famin shall have the fame effect
with refpe<9: to American merchant vef
fcls as the custom of all other nations
at peace with Tunis, has eftabliihed
with refpedt to their own, and no other.
There is therefore no danger to be ap

here.
Letter from Mr. Morton to tbe Scc'y of State.
"We do not hear any thing lately
from our Commissioners in France.
" By a new Law here, every vessel
that has got 10 guns and twenty five
men, are obliged to pay a duty of 1
per cent on their cargoes."
The account of the capture of a
French 20 gun §ip in the Weft-In

Kitts ofa later date make no mention
of such a circumstance.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Dublin, to
his friend in Nenvburgb, dated April 7.
" This day there is a ftiong report
of the Brest fleet being at sea, 30 fail of
the line and frigates with 30,00® troops
on board ; at all events it caused many
a conjecture here. This country is full
of army, and were they to land, there
would be dreadful work.—Many
think the Yeomen would not oppose
them now that the Union has so power
fully operated on them as to make their
loyalty doubtful, and indeed were you
to here expreflions that many of them
make use of, you would be astonished,
and were it not for the number of
British soldiers that are here, I very
much fear was there an invasion the
country would be but poorly defend
ed, the county of Limerick, and other
counties in that quarter, are very much
disturbed; burning, ihooting floging and
hanging, still going on with both tides,
the rebels or rather now the orange
men are committing dreadful depreda
tions in those counties; In the North the
county ofAntrim is much disturbed, and
the friends of those who have fuffered,
are taking ample vengeance on those
who either were informers, or who per
secuted the people.
P. S. I am told, but can't fay it is
true that every man who composed
the Jury that found Wm. Orr guilty,
are assassinated—at any rate that coun
ty is under military law, and it is put in
force in the most cruel manner poßible.
Extras of a letter from Liverpool, May 13.
FROM FRANCE—direct
gc By Capt. Carver, arrived here from St.
aebafians, me have received from our very attentive
cerrefpendent in France, through tbe .pditenefs of
Messrs. Bermingham, and Co. at St. Sebajiians,
files of Paris payers to tbe l Otb Plorcal, (30th A
frril.) Their contents refpefling near operations have
already been communicated; and toe have fearcbed
every number of " te Publicise," from tbe 3d
Germinal (zzd March) to tbe above date, zoitbout
finding one line, or one fyllaLle about our Envoys.
" Rice is in brisk demand at present,
but doubtful if these prices can be long
supported should large supplies come
forward, yet 35/ per cwt. is now
warranted by government for all rice
imported until ift October next, 100 s.
per zßolb. for fine wheat flour, and
90s. per quarter of 8 winch Bushels for
wheat—the former to be ascertained
by the average price to be published
eacli week in London, and latter arti
cles according to the average price of
the kingdom.
The export demand for sugars and
coffee has again become more limited
within these few days, but prices are
notwithstanding expeded to keep pret
ty steady, at least until the summer W.
India fleets arrive.
Prices of cotton, particularly of the
lower description, have experienced
some improvement in the course of last
month, and the demand for all forts
continues very regular, which is encour
aged by a brisk vent for our manufac
tures, as well as an export demand for
twist. The manufacturers are apply
ing to government to lay some restric
tions upon the latter in the way of du
ty on exportation, or otherwise, and
such a circumstance should they suc
ceed (contrary to expectation) would
certainly tend to depress the raw ma
terials, which otherwise we think likely
to maintain the present prices until
more abundant supplies come forward.
A riot took place between a number of low
fellows and the troops at Weft-Point, on the
4th inst. butby the ipirited exertions of Capt.
Stille, of the 2d regt, of A. and E. the ringlea
ders were apprehended and no lives loft.

You are very careful to mark down, and
point out all the errors of every class of people,
while those of the press ate palmed upon the
multitude without an erratum, —give me leave
to notice the following :—
In a late Jacobin paper, the editor observed,
he " was happy to state that the immoral^ Jef
ferson," was not dead ; the mistake arose
from a chriftian Have having died, who bore
his maker's name,"
In an extract from the Aurora, where the ed
itor was lamenting the fate of Duane, regreting
much that his council Cooper &. Dallas refufed
to plead, necessitating Duane to absent himfelf,
thus bringing a Rigma upon his fair character ;
the editor felt fatisfied that Duane would have
been acquitted with honor, if the trial had
come on, “ for it was well known that Cop
per and Dollars^ had great influence with
the president of the Senate ;" thus the poor co
pyist, through ignorance, accused the vice pre
sident of the United States of venality.
Note, Mr. writer, " how wilt thou fay to thy
brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine
eye ; and behold a beam is in thine own eye ?"

I find upon enquiry that those gentlemen
will have the federal votes throughout the
State. But it is also necessary to choose at
the next meeting in August, a Representative
in the place of Mr. Gordon, who has resigned,
—and in order to ftrengtheu the federal inter
est in the house of Representatives at the next
meeting of Congress ; it is of importance that
the people should be united in their choice.—
The Jacobins will undoubtedly endeavor to di
vide and Latter the votes as much as possible :
for altho' they are sensible they cannot procure
the election of a creature of their own, yet if
they can prevent a choice the firft time ; they
will in some mcafure attain their end. The
gentleman who has been mentioned as the per
son worthy of our fuffrages, is the Hon. SAM

every federalift will give him' his vote—and
that all federal Printers will mention him as
