CHARLESTON, AtIG, 20.
A firall French schooner called the Adelaide,
was, font into this port yesterday, as a prize to the
U. S. brig Gen, Pinckney, capt. Haywood. She
was bound from the Havannah to Port Republican,
with dispatches , (he was unarmed, except having
a tew §ufiaffes on board ; from this, and some oth
tr fufyicidus circumUances capt. H. thought pro
per to fend her in.
AUG. 22.
Yesterday anchored under fort Johnson, the (hip
Lucy, Connelly from the Havannah. Capt. C. fail
ed from the Havannah the 30th May ; next day
was captured by the York of 64 guns, part of the
fret of 10 fail, which were eroding off the Havan
nah, whidh, after taking out all the crew of the
Lucy, except capt.,C. his second mate and capen
ter, a final! boy, who was sick, and one passenger,
put a lieutenant, a prize-matter, and eleven seamen
on board, and ordered her for Jamaica ; tint on
Friday night last,, when coming through the Gulph,
capt. C. affixed by his second mate and carpenter,
made an attempt to take possession of his Ibip, by
knocking down these who were on deck, and se
curing the others below, and succeeded ; when
capt. C. made the attempt there were ten of the
seamen on deck. The lieutenant of the frigate and
capt. Cs passenger were below asleep, and did not
know he was matter of his vessel until the next
morning, when he had altered his course,
'VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND, SEPT. 3.
In mfcuffng the British treaty, Mr. Nicholas
fitted to Congress that the debts to be paid to G.
Britain would amount to from five to fifteen mil
lions of doh. Mr. Swift, in answer did not think
that these debts could amount to more than foe
millions. These were the general conclusions of
Gt the two bppofite parties.
It now turns out that Mr. Nicholas, and his
friend, were, as usual, in the right. The claims
of England are so monstrous and unfathom
able that, as we observed some days ago in the
Examiner, the whole continent, if fold at the
bammer, would not be fufficient to discharge them.
The two American Commissioners, though two of
the rankeltfrfeM of order upon the continent,
though men purposely fele^ed for the pliability of
their principles, have ftopt all proceedings on the
fubjett. Thus we have the highest and mofl deci
sive authority for faying that Jay's treaty is the cer=
tiin omen of an English war ; and that our only
chance for efcapidg so great a calamity is by the
fuCcefs of France, in finding full employment at
home for the atms of England.
All this is as clear and as certain as the firft axi
om of Euclid ; and yet there are persons amongst
to, who call themselves American citizens, and
who are yet so prejudiced, or rather diftraSed as
to rejoice in the exaggerated defeats of the repub
licaa armies. rfteotoyrr.

Franklin-County, N, C. Aug. 26, 1799.
ftfr. PRENTIS & PLEASANTS,
THE following melancholy accident happened
Jail Saturday :—At a (lore in the neighborhood of
Louilburg, there was a (hooting match for beer,
where' were prefect a number of persons, and a
znougd them a Mr. Thorns Rowlett, of this coun
ty formerly of Petersburg. As he and some others
were returning from the mark, one of the compa
My bad ms gun lying on his arm, with the muzzle
directed towards them, while he was doing fome
t@to the lock ; the gun, loaded with Briitol
(hot, went off and lodged the contents in Mr. Row
lett's body—he made one or two steps froward,
and intently expired.—-Thus by a careless and im
prudent aft, has a young and worthy member of
Society been bro't to an untimely end, and the sur
vivor embittered his future reflexion. May it
serve to-difeourage a practice, which often puts
fire-arms into the hands of persons at a time when
the,are least capable of ufiug them with care.—
To his relations the only confutation left is, that
Mr. Rowlett's death was universally regretted, as
bimfelf wa^elpe&ed and beloved. ,
PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA, SEgT. 14.
A DUEL was fought on Thursday last, between
Opt. Johofon, and Lieut. Sharpe, of the 10th U. S.
, regiment of infantry, quartered at Bristol, in this
Bate.' The combatants fired two (hot each, by the
lirft ofwhich Capt. J. was very {lightly wounded.
The second proved mortal to Lieut. S. as the ball
entered his right bread near the (boulder,aud tame
out of his left fide. Capt. J. by the second fire was
wounded in the leg. The cause we underhand a
role from a trifling,ifpute about politics, when a
challenge immediately enfuedhrnd the parties met
about three hours afterwards, io the vicinity of the
camp.
HARRISBURG, aug. 28.
_ On Saturday morning last, William Nichols, Esq.
Marshall of Pennfylvania,arrefted Benjamin Moyer,
and Conrad Falineftock, printers and proprietors
of the Dutch Aurora of this borough, for publish
ing a " ialfe, Scandalous,' and malicious" libel a

NEW-YORK.
NEbr-FORK, SEPT. 16.
Bythe brig Fox, Capt. Bebee, in 15 days from
Port Republican, we learn that Rigaud had attack
ed and lakej Petit Guave, had that he had put all
She white inhabitants to death.—Touiffaiat had
caused 700 mulattoeslto be apprehended and con

CONNECTICUT.
NORWICH, SEPT. 18.
By the arrival ofthe brig Harriot, Captain Francis
.Smith, on Saturday last, in 24 days from Demera
' ra, we hroe received the following Intelligence:
The Enghfli fleet was oft Surrinam Bar the 18th
-4%. confiding of 14 vessels of war, and 7 transports;
also, the United States (loop of war the Portfinouih,
Capt. M'Neill, attended by an armed brig, Capt.
Merriber, for the proteaion of the American trade
—the Sans Culotte, a French Ship of 24 guns, was
lying in port, blocked up by Capt. M'Neill, who
bad Cent him a challenge, but the Frenchman could
not be prevailed upon to come out.
The above information was brought to Demera
ra by Capt. Newall, of the sch. William, from Sur
rinam, who received it from Capt. Merriner, and
can be relied on as a (aft. It was believed in De
merara thatSurrinam had fell into the hands of the
English, as an embargo was momently expected to
be laid on all Shipping in Demerara.

Portsmouth, SEPTEMBER 26, 17„.
me copious details of Foreign Intelligence, minted to our
readers this day, were received by arrivals at New-York. Thef
necefirily preclude a variety of matter intended for this day's
Ledger. After the Reader has finished the political repast, the
MIRROR is recommended to his attention.)
Bewildered in the mills which usually attend Eu
ropean intelligence, we are at a loss what faith to
place in the accounts given of the Situation of Buo
naparte, in Egypt. That his absence from France
has been felt by the Republic, we have no reafonto
doubt ; that his present Situation is critical we be
lieve. His military talents have not been surpassed
if equalled, by any of the greatest Generals who
have preceded him ; of the praises of whom hillo
ry has been so lavilh. His good genius which has
hitherto aided him,may possibly extricate him from
his present embarraffinents. The humane Suwar
row, of whom we have heard so much, is not his
superior in military tadics or personal bravery.—
As to the humanity of the latter, JJmael and War-
Jaw* afford lad mementos on that head.
Where hardened villains, fill'd with hellish rage,
Murder'd promiscuous every fed and age ;
Nor did they ceaie, 'til till'd with human gore.
The Death-ltain'd currants ran from ev'ry door ;
Corps pil'd on corps, till space could not be found.
Nor victims waiting for the approaching wound.
Then cast around the approbating eye,
Feast on the feme—arid lay the poignard by.
* From the windows of the houses and hotels of
Warsaw, the appalled inhabitants were fpe&itors,
at the dawn of the day, of the mercileft Daughter
of their friends, and the pillage committed in the
suburbs, which continued till the noon of the sth.
[The battle commenced Nov. 4,1794]
The number of unfortunate Poles who perished
by the sword, the fire, and the water (the bridge
over the Vistula having been broken during the ac
tion) were estimated as follows : Five thousand men
were slain in the assault; the remaining 5,000 (or
there were only 10,000 soldiers in the town, and
the Ruffians were 50,000 Brang) were taken pri
fjtiers or dispersed. After the battle was ended, the
Ruffians proceeded to di farm the citizens, and to
•plunder their houses. When this was over, and ten
hours after all resistance had ceased, about nine o'-
clock at night they let fire to the town, and began!
to butcher the inhabitants. The sick and wound
ed perished in the flames ; The rest, old men, wo
men and children, fell by the sword. Nine thou-;
sand persons of every age, and of either sex, are
computed to have fallen in the massacre, and the*
whole of the suburb, except a tew scattered houses,
was reduced to ashes. 1?
The iff of December was set apart as , day of
solemn thanksgiving to God, and le deum was sung
for this important event.
"The impiety which prevails iff France (as an
anonymous writer has observed) mull ffiock every
serious mind ; but what is it g^r*, ,?,?,
.& of foufow and solemn blasphemy ! If it
were possible to suppose that those who a&ed a
part in it really believed they were performing an
aft of religion, how much, more dreadful would
such religion be than the molt determined Atheism!
“ Melancholy and difconfolate,indeed,is the idea,
that this world is the (port of a blind chance, and
that death will consign the bell and the wortt of
mankind forever to one common oblivion ; but
how much more terrible would it be to suppose the
universe Under the government of, and mankind
accountable for their actions to, such a god as is
worshipped at Petersburg : To a being who is (up
pofed to affill the arms, and enjoy the triumph of
powerful oppression over persecuted virtue and in
nocence, and to delight in feeing his altars Itream
with the blood of women and of children, and in
hearing his praises chanted by the voices of mur
derers, and in the midst of the Ihrieks and groans
of his victims!”
The einprefs, to teftify to Gen. Suwarrow her
fatisfattion of his conduct, appointed him her aid
de-camp, and sent him a crown of laurels, set in
brilliants, of the value of 60,000 roubles. She also
permitted him to choose a regiment in her arm/,
which Ihould bear his name lorever.

Alinoft every vessel found by British cruisers, wheth

According to the official accounts, published in
.the Vienna Court Gazette, the French dispute eve
ry inch of ground, with a bravery scarcely ever e
qualFd.—Their late misfortunes must therefore be
attributed to their being outnumbered by the alli
ed armies. These accounts acknowledge that the.
'contella have been bloody beyond example, and
° that nothing but the bravery and determined reso
lution of the allied troops enabled them to sur
mount the difficulties opposed to them. They ac
knowledge their own loss in killed and wounded
to have been great.—The French complain, and,
we believe, justly, of the tardinek of their promised
. reinforcements.
