Underwriters.
I CHARLESTON, AUG. 8.
The following information is handed to ns by
Capt. Parsons, of the fch.Fox,from Cape Fran
cois.
On the sth July, the U. S. frigate Confutation;
Cipt. Talbot, put into Cape- Francois having
fprunga mast. The next day Gen, Moyfe, the
commandant and his foil, dined on board the
Conftitotion. ' On his arrival on board a salute
was fired, which was returned from the fort.
On the 22d of July, the Confiitution on leaving
( the harbor, got aground ; assistance was afforded
\ - from the American captains ori shore ; the got off
" without receiving any material damage. This
day the Constellation frigate, came in fight to take
the station of the Constitution. On the 24th, put
° to sea, with ti fail under the care of Capt. Tal.
bot.
\ Besides the Confteliation, the (loop of war
Trumbul, Jewett; the Herald, Ruflel, and the brig
Angufta, ©Clary, were,left on the St. Domingo
'Ration, -
JULYI.
The Hamburg mail due on Sunday has not yet
arrived. By its arrival it is possible that ministers
may receive their official accounts of die decilive
victories of the French in Italy, and perhaps in
formation refpea'ing the sentiments of the court
of Vienna^—ln the present moment, when all
hopes of profecufing the war on the continent
with success, must be abandoned, the universal
wifn for peace which prevades this country, if
^xprefled with firmnefs, would at lead oblige min
isters to turn their attention feftonfly towards ne.
. gotiation. If they do not follow the example of
the Emperor, should he accept the preliminaries
of the chief couful, of which there is little doubt,
we mull be reduced to the necessity of nego
ciating with disadvantage tingly, on feme future
occasion.
There is no truth in the report of a person hav
ing been dispatched to this country by Buonaparte.
\Difpatches brought over by a Dutch naval offi
cer at Harwich, and received on Saturday by
Government, relate to some commercial arrange
ments proposed bythe Batavian Directory, and
which have been for upwards of fix weeks, under
the consideration of both governments.
^ has overcome their avarice, and Lord Keith
has declared that he would more Ilri&ly than
ever blockade rhe port and riviera, to revenge
himfelt ot our victories on this innocent city.
" Yesterday Gen. Willet embarked with a corps
ot a few adventurers p 4 id by the English. Piche

" The city has filtered cruelly, but has dill
preserved its attachment for the French—:a® soon
as tue convention ' was signed the people began to

It is asserted that the Czar has forbidden the
importation of English merchandize into Russia ;
that be is putting himfelfin a formidable date
of defence by tea ; and that a confederacy is (aid

LONDOWJUNE 30^
Lift Saturday we received papers to the 26th
iuQ. The Telegraphic dispatch from H minguen,
bf the 23d fays, that the right wing of the army
of Moreau had forced the passage of the Danube,
betweenßleihheim and Dillingcn,after a vigorous,
refiitance ;and that the result of the battle Was
3000 Andrians made prisoners, with the loss of
14 pieces of cannon, and 4 flandards. This njove.
ment and its objects, we forefaw and announced
in tbe Oracle of the 20th and 24th, on the firft
intelligence ofthg march of Lecourbe, upon Augf
burg—“ The real object of this movement seems
-to be that of suddenly pushing on Lecourbe's corps
toward Dillingen, which is between Ulm & Dona
werth, in order that, by threatening Kray's com
munication with the interior ofGermany, he may
be forced to abandon his ahroft impregnable po
rtion, under the walls of Ulm ;" —whileour com
petitors directed the march of that General to
wards the Tyrol, upon which he turned his back.
That movement, we observed, would oblige Gen.
Kray either to quit his intrenched camp at Ulm,
in order to force the enemyto repafs the Danube,
or to free a paflage for himfelf towards Dona
werth and Ingaftadt ; otherwise he would be en
closed in the fame manner that Melas has been in
Italy, :
TRIAL OF HADFIELD.
f LONDON, JUNE yo. :
The trial of Ha UFIELD,who attempted the life
of the King, -haabeen held before Lord Kenyon. +
Convincing evidence was exhibited of the culprit's
infanit? ; and be 'Was acquitted ; but ordered to
be confined, to prevent his doing any harm to^
himfelf, or any individual of the community.
The Prisoner appeared perfectly calm and cdlleft
ed, (during the whole of the trial) until the en
trance of his Royal Highness the Duke of York,
when he leaned over the fhontder of Mr. Erskine,
exclaiming, "Oh! how 1 love him! How 1 love
him ! God bless him ! 9 But on Mr. Erskine's de
siring him to be quiet, he recovered himfelf im
mediately, and did not speak another word, nor
did he seem to be at all affefted during the remain
der of the proceedings.

NEW-YORK, AUG, 22.
Extras of a letter from a gentleman in Kingjion,
Jamaica, dated July 17, 1800.
The ship Gadsden, Capt. Gardner, of
Charleston, from the Spanith Main, boun
to Charlson, is captured by one of his ma
jetty's frigates and btemghtinto this place—
She has a valuable cargo; therefore I think
it will go hard withher. There arc a great
number of captured American vellels in tub
place. You can form no idea, without
coming to the Weft-Indies, of the bareiac
'ed depredations committed on the American
commerce. I knew of an instance, while
I wasin St. John's, Antigua, in the month
of June last, of a Britilh privateer recaptur
ingan American brig and sch. and fending
them in there. The owner of the privateer
waited on the Judge of vice-admiralty, and
wished to know what salvage it was cut
tomary to allow on re-captured veflels.
The Judge told him, one fixffi was what
the laws of England allowed. Ihe owner
of the privateer then replied, he would leno
his prizes to Nevis, where the court would
allow him one half. The prizes were im
mediately sent off, and condemed to pay a
salvage of one half. The Judge of Antigua
on reflection, found he was losing his court
fees ; and told the owner of the privateer,
for the future, to let his prizes come into
Antigua, and he would give him as much
salvage as could be got at Nevis, or any 0-
ther court in the Weft-Indies. However
unjust these things may appear to you, they
are stubborn fads.”
On the 30th, an English (hip came into the fleet,
fens his boat on board the commodore, afterwards
made fail ahd lleered to the weltward, we learn
from the commodore, that the was called the An
dromache, Irom Hallitax ; (he had with her an A
merican (hip which the had captured two da,b,
fore, from India bound tor New-York. The prf
teuce for taking her was, that the was last from
the ille of France, and had taken in part of her
cargo there. The captain of the English frigate
requested the commodore to perron the, to over
haul the fleet, but he would not permit it.
The Ihip Gadsden, of this port, was taken with
in two days fail of Charlelton, by tire Decade and
Meleagre British frigates. If they bad paid any
attention to Mr. Jay's treaty, (he would have been
feat to New-Providence, being a port near at
hand ; instead of which they carried her to Jamai
ca, where the people were turned ashore ; a few
days after they obtained permission to go onboard
the Gadsden, to take out their clothes and bed
ding,but ttcy found nothing left but empty clicks.
This Ihip and cargo is worth upwards 01 150,000
dollars, and insured in New York, Philadelphia
and Charleston, property warranted American,
to be proveQin this country.
Last Sunday arrived here sloop Randolph,
Allen. Nicholas, matter, in 20 days from
Antigua. Left at Antigua, brig Anna,.
Brown, of and from New-Haven. Brig
Bragden, from Kennebunk, loaded
with lumber, Ca.pt. B. had been captured by
a French privateer, in lat. 23, and a French
prize matter put on board his vessel, ordered
for St. Martin's, but the prize matter trull
ing Capt. B. to keep the reckoning, - lie fteere
the vessel under the guns of the Englilh'fori
at Bermuda, where the Frenchmen agreed
-to take the boat and steer for St. Martins,
while Capt. B. fleered for Antigua.
Mr. Hull supercargo of the Randolph, in
forms, that the 13th of July, four of the
hands belonging to the ship Ohio, were im
prefled by &pt. King of the British armed
ship Gaity ; two of said hands were carried
on board the Gaity, one made his escape
from the gangland one (Mr. Joshua Eells,
formerly of this place) was (tabbed in a
number of places by Capt. King, arid (but
up in that (hocking situation in a store until
the next morning. Capt. Allen had pro
cured the release of one of his hands, the
other is dill on board the Gaity. Mr. Eells
lay very ill in ccnfequCnce of his wounds,
and it was supposed would not recover.
SALEM, AUG. 26.
The ship Amazon, Capt. Parsons, belong
ingto the late Marfton Watson, Esq. ot
Boston, is taken by a French privateer, af
ter a gallant defence, and sent into Corunna.
She was bound to Lisbon, and from thence
to India. The following extract of a let
ter from Mr. Joseph Bowditch, of Salem,
to his father, relates some of the particulars
of the action :—
“ Corunna, June 11.
''l arrived here this day, on board aFrench
privateer in good health. On the 6th at 12
o'clock, in lat. 41, lon. 25, we fell in wjth
this ship, when an engagement commenced,
and continued until 3 quarters past 4, P. M.
when we were under the necessity of haul
ing down our flag. She proved to be a ship
of 12 fixes and 4 twelves, and in the engage
ment Worked 4 twelves and 8 fixes on a true,
against 4 fours and 2 fixes. The aftion was
very sharp for about twoliours. Our ship was
very much cut about the. fails and rigging,
and received a number of shot thro* the hull.
We had one boy (John Ellis, of Gloucester)
killed, and the fecondfeofficer badly wounded,
but not so bad as to be dangerous.—Allthe
rest efeapej unhurt. This is the spoiling of
a great voyage, for the ship and cargo will
be condemned, without any doubt."
Extras of a letter from a re-enable gentleman in
Cape Francois, to his correspondent tn N. York,
dated 30th July.
" An express is just arrived' here, that
Touffaiot is in poffeflion of the South, and
that Rigaud has gone off in his ship" <
