N >-wiihilanding I cou.d not procur; the Eu
ro4.ean papers until y^Herdsy morning, I have
fucceeJeJ in giving ah the important articles
they coat iin, which will be found under the fo
reign head,. Though they are not official,
much polit cal information may be derived
:tom th m. Buonaparte’s movements in
Egvpt are important. What difpofttion is
made of his fleet is not yet known. It cannot
be l«ig before fomething further tranfpires from
thar quarter.
Many art'cles ol a domdlic nature are omit

A convention of delegate? from mod of the

northerly part of Lincoln into a new county,
by the name cf Kennebeck.
It is Lid fiom g h>J authority, th »t the dif

nothing m >re than official notice that the em

It is faid that their unanimous refult
is, a boundary which will aflign a large
portion of the difputed lands to each
party,and quiet all the actual pod'edions
and claims of individuals.
Entire harmony is fail to have fab
fided during this lengthy and labori
ous* trial, as well between the agents
as the commidioners. This is the fird
experiment of compromifing national
difputes in this fummary way, which
has been carried into complete effect.
For the credit of human nature it is
hoped that it may prove an ufeful lef
fon to the Europeans now at war, and
lead to the edabliditnent of a fydem of
perpetual amity among all civilized na

THE YELLOW FEVER.
Bilious Fevers are unufally numerous
j
and obftinate in many parts of the coun
try ; and irrfeveral ruerior towns ve
ry fatal. At New-Milford, great fick
nefs prevails, and the fever has the ef
fentiul fyptoms of Yellow Fever. At
Royalton, on White River, in Ver
mont, and on the Grand Hies in Lake
Champlain, the Yellow Eever prevails
with conhderable mortality. The dif
eafe has the charaTeriific fymptoms of
the Genuine Yellow Fever, and termi
nates fatally in about fix.days. Roy
alton is fituated on a bend of White
River, on a dry gravelly foil, but en
clofed by very high mountains, which
really made the pofition of the town, a !
deep valley.
At Windfor, in Vermont, a fimilar
fever prevails. This is on Connecticut
river, the banks of which are high in
that neighbourhood, and make little or
no marfh, but the town is almofl fur
rounded by mountains. In fuch pofi
tions, there is a great accumulation of
heat, from the reverberated rays of the
fun in hot weather ; and in all fuch fit
uations, the human race are more ex
pofed to autumnal fevers and dyfentary,
than on hills which overlook the fur
rounding country. [Com. Adv.~]
From Hs/Jfell't Gazette. .
We mentioned in our lad, that the
trial of Thomas Adams, for feditious
publications was aligned for this day.
On Saturday Mr. Edwards renewed
the motion fot a continuance, ground
ing it on the importance of the caufe,
and the difficulty of procuring Coun
fcl to manage the Defence without fur
ther time for preparations. A contin
uance was granted, the Defendant to be
under recognizance for his appearance
at ihe next term and in the mean time
to he of the peaci ar.d good behavior.
