NEW-PROVIDENCE, AUG. 17;
BY a vessel that touched off the Bar,
from St. Domingo, bound to the
United States, we are informed, that
the negro insurgents have again made
head against their conquerors. Em
boldened by the mortality which the
army under Le Clerc has sustained from
the yellow fever ; and, enraged at (what
they conceive) the unfair manner in
which Touiffaint was sent off to France,
they have taken up arms in great num
bers under TouifTaint's sons ; and have
gained some considerable advantages o
ver the French troops. O The A
merican who brought the above, was
Cant. Eddy, five days from Cape Fran
cois ; who adds, that the negroes had
Formed and carried a fort near the
Cape and that on the evening previous
to his leaving the town, the report of
guns was distinctly heard.

NORFOLK, SEPT. 14.
We are informed by a gentleman
from Newbern, N. C. that a Duel was
fought a short defiance from that town,
on Sunday evening, the fifth inst. be
tween Richard Dobbs Spaight, Esq.
formerly Governor of the State of
North Carolina, and John Stanley Esq.
Senator for the Dittrid of Newburn,
After exchanging three tires each, with
out effect,at the fourth fireß.D.Spaight
received a bail directly under his right
•arm-pit, which put a period to his ex
igence four hours afterwards. The
cause of this unhappy affair, proceeded
from a dispute of a political nature.

The Fever — Six new cases of the Fe

The Printers of “ The Citizen,"
the democratic paper of New-York,
have commenced an aftion against Mr.
Belden, the printer of the New-York
Commercial Advertiser, for a libel, in
republishing a part of Wood's late
pamphlet.
Accounts from Cape-Francois, men
tion frefh and formidable infurre&ions
of the blacks—attended with circum

of infuriate men.
Dr. Fothergill, in a late publication,
has stated, that the present method of
prevention and cure of the plague at
Smyrna, is rubbing the body with tepid
oliveoil.—This produces a sweat which
difeharges the contagion. The fweat
mg thould also be encouraged by the
diet. The oil mud be had recotirfe to
on the firft appearance of the disease.
It is presumed the fame remedy would
be effe&ual in malignant fevers; and
that persons Visiting the sick would be
prote&edby holding oil to their nostrils.

'' I behold with great concern in

" Hiftory informs h's Oliver Cromwell

Would only follow Oliver's cannon

The probable dismemberment of Tur
key, and its subsequent partition be
tween France, Austria, Ruiha & Prussia,
is said in one of ourlateft London papers
to be confidently believed ; and the con
ference at Memel, which we have al
ready mentioned to have taken place
between the Monarchs of Prussia and
Russia, are all averted by many to have
had this for their objeft Private let
ters from Berlin even go so far as to
communicate some outlines of the plan.
According to them, Paffawan Oglou,
whose progress becomes every day more
alarming, furnifhes to the Emperors of
Russia and Germany the firft pretext
for taking up arms. War being once
declared, Austria and Russia, it is said,
will take possession of such provinces as
are contiguous to their refpedive do
minions. The French will have Egypt,
the Isle of Candia or Morea Cyprus ;
and the King of Prussia, to balance the
acquisition of Austria and Piuffia, is to
have a very considerable part of the
former kingdom of Poland, which is to
be ceded to him by the above Powers.

BOSTON, SEPT. 20. .
Accounts from Lifhon, by Capt.
Rich, Hate, that some of the Mdorifh
cruizers were at sea ; and we have a
letter before us, dated the gift July;
which fays; “ The Moors have declar
ed war, and have taken three of out
vessels." But as thbre are many per
sons ^t Lisbon, who are interested in
propagating accounts bfthe danger to
be apprehended from the Barbary Pow
ers, in order to deter Americans from
the prosecution of their voyages to Ca
diz: &c. it is probable the reports may
have originated with them. The fame
accounts also Rate, that a Steedifh fri
gate had had an engagement with four
Tripoline corsairs, in the Mediterrane
an ; and this affair Capt. R. supposes
gave rife to the report in circulation
refpedting the Boston frigate ! If so,
where can the Boston be—No accounts
having been received of or from her for
nearly four months ?
The United States will portly have
fix frigates, and a sloop of war, to pro
ted our commerce in the Mediterrane
an. —O—
Capt. Singleton, arrived at Philadel
phia, from Leghorn, informs, " that 1
on the 14th July there touched at Ali-1
cant, a Swedilh frigate, having under|
her convoy five fail ofAmerican vessels."
Thus it is, that while our flips of war
arc rotting in the wormy sand banks ®f
the Potomac, their spars and rigging
decaying and diJappearing from the nav
al-ftore houses ; and their officers and
crews, travelling through the country
without employ, but supported at the 1
public expence ; we are dependent, for f
the security of our commerce, on the
fiiendfhip & protection of other nations.
These are the prudent and patriotic mea
sures of our present adminift ration. 1

Capt. Jackson, passenger in the A
merica from Cadiz, was informed by
Capt. Sterret, of th^ U. S. schooner
Enterprise, on the 16th of July, that a
few days before, in the Straits, he fell
in with a Tripoline Corsair ; but the
weather falling calm the escaped by
means of her sweeps ; that there were
reports of the capture of 2 or 3 Ame
rican vessels ; and that he was ordered
to cruize on the coast of Morocco, par
ticularly off Saffia, where two veflels of
20 guns each were fitting out.
the voice proceeded, he was attacked
by four ruffians, who rulhed forward,
stopped the herfe, and menaced the
man with death, if he should attempt
to interfere ; the negro, frightened, re
plied he had no such intention, and afe
ed to be permitted peaceably to pro
ceed, upon a reply of one of the vil
lains—" kill him," he jumped from
his cart and received a violent blow by
a club on his Ihoulder ; and the horse,
cart, two beds, a chest containing
some eloathing, and some articles of
kitchen furniture, were seized by the
ruffians. The servant was too much
terrified to make resistance.

COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
A letter, received at Philadelphia
from the River la Plata, dated June 16,
contains the following copy of a Decree
of the Viceroy of Buenos Ayres, refpe&-
ing foreign vessels : “ All those vessels
which have brought cargoes, shall not
be permitted to land. Their refpe&ive
cases shall go through a regular course
of law, that they may fuffer the penal
ties they have incurred. All those that
have arrived after the nth of March,
shall depart as they came, as well as
all those that exceed 500 tons burthen,
which may have arrived previous there
to. Those that have arrived in ballast
(under contract) consigned to the mer
chants who have permission to export
the produce of negroes in foreign veflels
previous to the 1 uh of March, will be
permitted to load, but they ihall not
commence until the 11th August, in
order to give time to the Spanish ves

On the 3d ultimo, a number of the

house of the Rev. Thomas Holt, and,
including a small proportion sent in
afterwards, presented to his Lady 264

less expressive of their munificence.
While Infidelity, with her brazeri
front, is making unwearied efforts to

" Clerical influence in New-England ;
while an evident depreciation of the

is it, to difeover ia the Ladies, the

On Tuefday might hit we experienced a most
tremendous and horrid thunder storm; the
clouds were surcharged with ekdric fluid,there
having preceded two or three sultry days. We

BANK SHARES— gone.
The Attorney-General's paper at
Worcester, talks very ' flippantly of
" taking money out of the Treasury,
and covering it afterwards by a legal ap

the present administration : But they
are of a piece with the condud of Mr.
Gallatin, who has unauthorized/) fol&,

hundred and fifty Bank Shares belong

These Ihares produced an interest of
nearly nine per centum per annum; and
have been parchafed by Messrs Baring

gress that can furnilh a mantle for the
payment back of Callender's fine, by
the President, can easily make it large
enough to cover this, or any similar
