schooner belonging to Marblehead, from
Cadiz, bound to Malaga, within a lew
leagues of his destined port, and one league
off the it.'jre, about day break, tell in with
two Algerian galleys. He had jult time
to get his boat out whea one of the pirates
came c!ofe along fide, so that he was oblig
ed to make for the Ihore without saving
his money, papers, or cloaths; and he had
10 pass the other, which had £ot between
him and the Ihore. Both gave ch.-ice and
kept a conltant tiring while he remained in
seach of their guns, however, fortunately,
he and his crew got off unhurt. Captain
Patten car e afterwards to Gibraltar, and
as he had fold his cargo at Cadiz for b'll;

chase of a French prize vessel very cheap,

" Though ;he melancholy catastrophe of

Salem, Sept. 5- A vessel from Oftenc
is iult arrived, after 55 days paflate, com
manded by capt. Stone. He confirms th<
accounts by former arrivals from Europe
of the dull movements o£ the cbmbmet
armies—who had not, nor was it probabl.
they would, 111 ike the lealt impression un
favourable to the cause of France and o
liberty. A few days before capt. Stoni
failed, all the Dutch troops who were eo
camped about 15 miles from Oltend, dec
into the town, Danic (truck, on alarm tha
the troops of the Republic were marchinj
against them, who are in great force neai
that plaoe—this circumstance will give ai
idea of the impression which the Frencl
foldi'.rs make upon their enemies. The
inhabitants of Oltend were under fearfu
appreheniions of the French attacking it
which is coufidered as a very probable
d»ve it, as the Englilh have great quantitie;
of hay and other i'tores, and a vult deal oJ
property there.
Capt. Stone w»s in company wuh ai
Englilh colonel at Oltend, who spoke very
faintly of their profpeSs at Valenciennes :
there are 8o,o»o men attacking it (whe
were then many of them severely attackec
by the d/(entry) among which are the
Englilh troops. It is bravely defended b>
10 000 French, who are affilled by the in
habitants: They have fix months provifioiv
in the town, and are determined todeiem
it to the last extremity. The Duke ul
"York, (who nominally commands) sent 11.
lour times, deliring a furender—the lad
time the commandant informed him, thai
if he was impertinent enough to repeat hi;
message, he would hang the messenger up
on the ramparts. It reported and at
terwards contraditted, that the houses 11
Valenciennes were principally deltroyed.
When capt. Stone was at Morlaix (in
June) there were 15 rich prizes sent in by
the French cruisers—one of them a large
(hip from Bombay,with two thousand bale;
of cotton on board. The citizens ol i lot -
laix ivere iu excellent spirits, cenfident ot
the speedy fuecefs of the armies ot liberty
over the combination of despotism. Pro
visions there were cheap, plenty and good.
Before he left Morlaix seven gun-boats,
well armed and equipped, failed 011 a ftcret
expedition.
Pittjburgh, Sept. 17. Sunday last arrived
an express in this town from the Comnnf
li oners who were sent to tie at with the In
dians: He had left the commissioners 011
this fide Lake Erie, having eroded over
with them froin Fort Erie, that day eight
days. They had been 111 it at Niagara by
Indian commissioners, and with them had
failed in feparaie Yeffels to tlie mouth of
Detroit river 18 miles from Detroit, where
our commifiioaers were directed to remain.
until an answer fliould be brought from
the great council of the Indian nation?
aifembled at the rapids ot the Miami ant
the Lake. On the 2d of Align ft an anfwei
was brought to this effect, that the onl)
terms on which peace could be made wa:
our ceding the country on the weft of the
Ohio arid Allegheny rivers. The cbmmif
lioners fuggeited the impoflibility ot doiuj
this, as the lands had been fold bv tht
Congress, and people had lettled on them
but that the United States would be willinj
to give more goods than they had given a
any other time. The Indians replied, tha
if tlie Congress would give one halt of theli
goods to the people that had ftftcled. the;
would leave the land, and remove thi
difficulty. Our commiilloners replied tha
the land they must nave, and would no
give it up. The Indians said it was well
tiiid there need no more be fa'd. However
■leiired them to remain if they though
proper; until they returned to the council
and laid this before them. On the i6tl
of August two Indians came and informec
that the final result of their deliberation
was the country in question, or war. Ih<
?xprefs is of opinion from the language o
individual Indians in privare, and fron
ather circumstances, that the Britifli whollj
:ondu£t the.r couufels, and ditlate theii
demands.
By the arrival of some persons from i 011
Washington on Monday last, we are in-
that the Indians (till contimu
hovering about the out garrisons, and occa
[ionally dealing horses ; —that the army 1
in high spirits, anxiously waiting the eveni
»f »he treaty, and hoping that a ca/npaigi
will take place, as 110 idea of peace is en
tertained by any one—that the greatel
pains hjs been taken by the Commander ir
Chief, in training men in the acl: o]
wood fighting, and that from their pro.
laiency, and the unanimity prevailing
throughout the whole army, success ma)
De iliould a campaign take place.
Fro?7i NeiV-York, Sept. 9. The Ft encl
lave published a Bullet* n y add relied to the
:rews of their fteets in America ; in whict.
they charge the late general Galbaud oi
having made. ule of every means to deceive
and seduce the people of the Jupiter-~01
abusing the molt refpettable titles of Re
publicans and patriots—of faying that he
was firmly resolved on going to Frame,
with the intention of juftifying himfelf be
fore the Convention ; arid at the lame
time, of ullng the molt base and vile iiieans
to dellroy the forces t-f the Republic, aac
to promote the designs of their enemies.—
Of concerting plans with others who wore
the mask of republicanism, to cause the
fleet to return to the 1 Hands ior the mofl
pernicious purposes ; that is, to make the
forces of the Republic, the executioners
of their private vengeance, in facrificing
the remaining seamen who hadtfeaped the
catastrophe at the Cape. _
The papers have been detected at the
house ot one of his principal agents, which
have disclosed the plot, equally ridiculous
and abominable. M. Galbaud, convinced,
that being thus detetled, he should not onl)
ie abandoned, bwtdefpifed by ail the brave
seamen of the fleet, has contrived his
,'scape.
" Galbaud has attempted his flight, and
las fucceecledI—he1 —he has basely deceited the
nen who had sworn to guard him faith
fully, and having given them a rendezvous
it Philadelphia, set off himfelf for Canada,
and is, going to take refuge with our ene
liies the English.
" It is known how he escaped the Ame
ican authority, but it has not been told
perhaps, how haughtily he boaftr. before
:he Tories and Aristocrats who have be
friended him, that he has never iincerely
acknowledged the Republic of France ; and
that his only delign in attacking the Cape,
was to reft ore that colony to the royal
dominion —-to that of the little Capet
"alias Louis XV 11-3
" " Tliefe fa£ts being deposed before the
Mayor ot the city, with much besides, not
less important,ought to prove to the people
of the fleet, that Citizen Genet was not at all
mistaken, when, at his firft arrival, he de
nounced Galbaud to them, as an accom
plice of the wretched Dumourier.
" Now that all is discovered, the people
have but one thing to do, to prove the
validity of Lhelr patriotifro—and that is to
bring to light, all those who have abused
[heir trust in exciting them to rife againll
the appointed authorities. —Such can be
none other than the agents of Galbaud—
and such flagitious character-, cannot dc
[erve the honor of fighting againlt the ene
mies of their country."
Boflon, Sept. 5. A gentleman well
known in this town and in Salem, and who
arrived yesterday from the latter place, in
forms us, that he had converted with the
captain of the ship, which arrived there on
Tuelday last, in 50 days from Nantz, who
told him, that he was an eye-witness of
the a£tioh of the 29th of June, between the
patriots and insurgents—that it was re
ported, there were 35,000 of the insurgents
embodied, with an intention of attacking
Nantz; that the patriots being apprized
of it,made afally upon, routed and defeat
ed the whole body, leaving new jj,ooo
dead ; that the insurrection was entirely
at an end ; a;id that t.vj patriots were de
termined on establishing a conftitntion,
without the interference of any pov.eron
earth ; that the patriotic females ot Nanlz.
were fpiritediy employed, previously to the
action, in preparing lint and provilions, ti
•lid in crnffiing the rebellion ; that Valen
ciennes wa>; not taken, and no danger ap
prehended from the combined forces : ii
ihort, that the affairs of France were :
more pleasing aspect, than at any time finct
the revolution ; and that it was- believet
at Nantz, that the British cabinet weretlu
principle fomenters of all their interna
commotions.
After the action of the 29th of June, tlit
patriots, it is said, examined the dead bo
lies, in order to find theprielts and nobiii
ty, who were the principal leaders in al
:heir internal difficulties, but being difguif
;d in the habits of peasants. they could on
y discover them by the foftnefs of theii
'lands, and the petit maitrc effeminacy o
their persons; there were many ofthofi
gentry, however, found among tiiem.
Savannah, Aug. 22. The Creeks keep
jp the old cuftoni of pilfering on the front
ers. In the night of the Bth inft. a party
"aid to belong to the Euchee town, at
tempted to (teal some horses from captair
'-Villiams's ltation at St. Savilla. That vi
gilant officer was prepared for them, anc
jne of the Indians mult have dearly p.iic
for his temerity ; he was seen to fall, ant
n the place where he fell near a pint 01
blood was found, with his bag of paint
fealping knife, and other war implements.
The fellow, however, whether killed 01
wounded, was b.irne off by his compani
ins. Advices received to the weltwarc
mention that one of the Indians captaii
Williams fired at in a former attempt hat
arrived in the nation desperately wounded
Bait-more, Sept. 7. This forenoon ;
melancholy circumstance happened in Mar
ket, near in this town. A
Doy playing in a back yard in which was;
well that had been lately uncovered foi
:he purpose of cleaning out, dropped his
hat in it—a young lad attempted to g<,
joftrri for it,but 011 descending 10 or 12 feel
le was fnffocated—Mr. Gaulter Hornby,
1111. foil of Gaulter Hornby cabinet-makei
n going down to bring the lad up met
with the faiiie untimely fate —and a negrc
ad who was let down after him was very
lear being deprived of life before he g,oi
:o the bottom, and when brought tip was
to all appe&rance dead. Let this serve a:
1 caution to people in future, never to at
tempt going into wells, or vaults, befort
ihe foul air is dispersed by burning; of gnr
powder, nitre, or lonie oilier alkaline lub
itaace.
CharltTton, Aug. 20. Capt. Talbot, o]
the (loop Alexander Hamilton, which ar
rived here on Sunday evening, informs us
that, on his outward bound pailage toNew-
Providence, off Egg-Island, he fell in wits
the privateer Sally, commanded by Jeremi
ah Grant, of New-Providence. The firll
"dotation he received from the privateei
was a discharge of two mu£cets, loadet
with balls, which went through the jib ;
npon which he hove hi» veflel to. Captaii
Cjrant then ordered liiin to lioift out hi
joat. Captain Talbot replied, his bnal
was leaky and would not fvvim. As fodit
the answer was given, the privateet
ired a volley of muff-eery into the sloop,
by which her fails and rigging were great!)
injured. Grant then sent his own boat, anc
carried Talbot 011 board the privateer. He
h id no sooner got on board than he was ac
coftfed with very abusive language and re
ceived a blow from captain Grant; by which
be was knocked down, and afterward:
Itai'ipcd under feet, when the firll lieute
nant (a Mr. Lyburn) interfered and de
clared he would not fee a man abused ir
that manner. By this time Grant hat
drawn a sword; and swore he would take
Talbot's life ; but the lieutenant arreltec
his arm, and prevented him from doing all)
further injury. Captain Talbot believe?
that he would have been murdered by the
said Grant, had it not been for the timely
interposition of the lieutenant Lyburn. Al
the crew of the sloop, except the mate
were taken out, and the veflel fuffered t<;
J rift out of fight, before they were return
;ii, which was not till after a detention o)
['even or Sight hours.
New-York, Sept. 12. " A cdrrefpondem
ibferves that in order to compole ana quiel
the public i-nind which is much agitated or
iccount of the fever now raging in Phila
delphia, it would be well for the authority
i>f this (tate and city, to cut off all com
munication with that place, but by post—
It might be confirmed by fonie, as an unne
cessary stretch of power or authority, but
tiie great law of neceflity is superior to all
others, and is itfelf a principle of action,
.hatin particular circumftancesis and ought

jy a variety of means—at any rate it would
be proper abjolutely to forbid the landing
beds or bedding of any kind, and to order
