SAVANNAH, JULY 24.
We are informed by an indisputable au
thority that the governor of the province of
\Veft-Florida, Lieut. Col. Don Vincente
Folch at the head ofan expedition composed
of nine gallies, retook, a few days since, the
fort of St. Mark on Apalachie, funk a
small vessel, and captured another, in which;
the English adventurer and notorious vaga
bond, William Aoguftus Bowles, after find
ing the Chehaw Indians inclined to favor
the interest of Spain, had made his escape :
up the waters of that river. Also, that the
officers, who so fhamefully surrendered that
strong fortification to the crazy whims of
the renowned director general ofMufcogee,
are placed under arrest, to be tried by a re-'
gtilar court martial. And that the Span
iards are in full hopes of putting out of the
world that common enemy of peace,(Bowles)
by theuffer of great presents to the Indians
who shall deliver him dead or alive, in Pen
'facola or St. Augustine.

At a late hour lalt evening, we were favoured by
Capt. Coffin, commander of the ship General
Mercer, from Liverpool in 24 days, with a file
of the London Courier from the loth of June
till the 25th inclusive—by which it appeart that
the hem recently publiflied concerning Genoa,
and the operations in Italy, is amply confirmed,
and many additional articles of considerable
magnitude and importance are also contained
, in these papers.
The London editor speaks in the most pointed
terms concerning : i:e fate of Italy, and adds,
that the firft consul had undoubtedly much
. more extensive views than those which related
to the relief of Genoa. !I
Mantua it seems is to become an objea of imme
diate attack, and the victories already gained
are to be prosecuted with the most unremitting
energy, till the court of Vienna is forced iqto a
complete compliance with the wishes of the
French Republic.

left their vessel immediately after she arriv

When the hireling High ftieft of the ve--
nal Oracle of falfhood and fa&fon; -(whofe
publications are more incoherent than the
responses of the heathen oracles of old)
charges the Aurora and other Republican
papers with receiving French Gold, he
might from his own experience refute the
lies; as many months have not yet elapsed,
since that present vehicle of deception and
difeord, was the echo of the Aurora, ahd
the loudest herald of the glories and triumphs'
of the French Republic—no paper on ac
count of fert ices, was more entitled to
French Gold, ahd no printer so likely to
' Obtain it, (if to be had)=But as he suddenly
faced-ro the left about, it muff be inferred,
either that there was no French Gold for
Republican printers, or that the candid
editor of that paper found British Gold

tus, knows well how this was, and he can.
tell if he will.

Gen; JOSEPH BADGER, jun.
Gen. M'CLARY,
LEVI BARTLETT, it
NAHUM PARKER,
The public are now awake to the designs
of a band of ambitious meh, who to accom
plilh their nefarious purposes, have harped
on the word Jacobin until its force has re
coiled on themselves. It being now appar
ent th|t the only diforganizers are those who,
for some time past, have been loading the
Friends of our revolution with the meft op
probrious language, that malice or revenge
could invent. These are men who in their
late addresses to the President, swore that
they approved every thing he had done or
c^ild do —but, who as soon as the President
fnanifefted 'a disposition to prevent those
friends of order, from plunging the country
into all & horrors of a French war —as
soon as* he 'difeduered a with to five the
blood and treasures of the people by an am
icable adjustment of our differences with
France, these friends of order who had been
smacking their lips, at the golden harvest of
commiffiom, agencies, contrasts and public
plunder, which the profpe& of a French
war, prefertted immediately when the vision
vanished, turned their embittered torrents of
iriveaive ori the man, who, while he ap
peared to flattefttheirinfatiable avarice, they
affeaed to adore— Him they now c^ll Jaco
bin, and imprecate as.many curses on his
head, as thertiavc uniformly invoked on the
heady adherents of peace & public economy.
Thus the people now perceive, that those
pretended-grinds of order, are foremoft in
their abuses of _the congituied authorities,
when those authorities refill their wicked
designs. The delusion which blinded the
eyes of the- public hfivanilbed. % The term
Jacobin has loft its. magic charity it will; no
longer'anfwer the pbrpofe of conjuring up
political fprights & hobgoblins.—At the ap
proaching ele&ion the people will be able
to exercise their reason, cle^r and unclouded.
They sill perceiye that the appoftrs of this
ticket, are equally opposed to Adams and
Jefferfon and. that to. accomplis their
wicked designs against the peace and liber
ties of the country; they have spared tieiffief
pains, nor expense; to calumniate ahd de
ftrqy every hondTrepublican, who had*he
independence and^cdurage to oppose their
nefarious plots.
It is no small recommendation to the re
publican ticket, that even tfe friends of order,
have not dared openly to attack a single
member of it. 'MeQike M'Clar^y, Badg
er, Parker and Bartlett are covered with a
(hield of political virtue, impenetrable to
the (hafts of calumny, fuefy merit and such
fecYlces arc entitled to to the gratitude and;
faffrages of every real friend to a Republican
Governffatt — And those who wish to pre.
serve D^r prefect excellent dbrtffitution
with Republican purity, against the fofidi
ous attacks of its concealed enemies, will
and pught to vote for them. -'

Citizens of New-ftmpjbire,
AS the time is near at h^nd when you
must give your fuffrages for Repefentatives
in the general Government, it is necessary
that you be well-informed Tefpeding the
political charaaers of those who you wish
to represent you. The term Fedel&ifm or
Federalist is nothing more than a made for
British intrigue—Be on your guard—ls A
mericaif Independence is a benefit, take care
that you eletl then who will support it —°
The sappers and miners are two rife—look
well to your choice, the times are critical,
if you obtain a Republican Election all will
go well—the Aristocracy are crumbling in
to nothing—one hroke more and you'll fin
ifh their insolent career.—Republicans at
tend to your rights, you have paid too dear
for your Independence to facrifice it in an
instant.
The Exeter Junto are always busy in the
Eleaioneering bufmefs, particularly at this
moment- —it is time this despicable set of
Speculators were annihilated— They are
composed principally of old Tories and
funded ftderalifts —To prove this assertion
look into the Public Offices of ihe general
Government in this State ; recollect the
principals where they were in the year 1775.
Beware in time.

Capt. Moses Adams of the American ship Pro
vidence, of Providence, a Letter of Marque,
mounting 34 gups, has entered a formal protest
against the Commander of a British 74 called the
' Mohitaur, Capt. Louis, and others, in which it is
complained,—That,on the 24th day of Feb. last,
while lying in the road of Leghorn, two of his
then being on ihore were impressed and feot on
board the Monitaur ; that Capt.L. sent his bo@t on
board the Providence,'and demanded two . other
seamen, claiming them as . Englishmen,shich
Capt. Adams agreed to-deliver up on being reim
buriedxfe wages he had paid them: that Capt. A.
then demanded the two seamen ^which had been
, imprehed on Ihore, which Capt. L. promised to
comply with—in; this stage of the bulinefs, an offi
cer informed; Capt. L. that one of his men was
difeovered g beqiyhe boat belonging to Capt. A.
(which teamen was put into the boat by the crew;
ot the Mpnitaur, as a pretext for their subsequent
mahejaN tyudutt, as Capt. A. verily believes) —
Capt. Louis thereupon ordered the boat's crew
confined in Irons, without any inquiry into
the truth, of thecharge, detained tapt. A. on
board the Monitaur against his content. Capt. L.
then sent nine of his boats armed,, on board the
Providence, and forcibly tobk out of her the fe
epnd Lieut, and thirty four seamen; and from
such of them as were Americans took their protec
tions ; that after Capt. A. had received from Capr.!
L; the irlolt insulting language, he was ordered
on board his ship ; and the next morning the 2d
Lieut, and four others were returned, detaining
the rest, and taking from on board the Providence
