NEWYORK, AVGUST'24.
A GENTLEMAN lately (hot himfelf in the
Bird-cage-walk, St, James's Park, (Lon
don). It is said that a disappointment in the
Lottery occasioned his committing the aflion,
° having been induced by the high price to fell
a share of a ticket, which afterwards came up the
30,0001. prize.
The long wished for period is at length arrived ;
Speculation in the public securities has received a
check, on principles which alone are competent to
producing so definable an effeft, in away consistent
with justice, and a due regard to personal right.
established coftom in England, the mail for Ame
rica, is closed a! the General pdft, the firft Wed
nesday of every mon'h; and the Packet fails as
, soon as possible after :—The firft Wednesday of*
July was the 7th, therefore contrary winds might
possibly have detained the packet so long as to en
able her to bring intelligence as late as the 16th ;
"though we much doubt the authenticity Os the re
port.
We are assured, as a fa&, that the 14 fail df the
line, 14 frigates, and if cutters, which by the fl
mily-compaft, France is obliged to assist Spain
with, in case the is engaged in a war, were all
completely manned,, and ready for failing at the
date of our last accounts from Europe. This may be
depended on.
Many elaborate volumes have been written to
ascertain the rights of war; as if murder and de
vastation, things eflentially wrong, could be redu
ced to right by system. For what is war, but
theft and robbery on a great scale? As burglary is
nothing but a siege in mineature. Yet do we not
find that the rights of theft, robbery, murder and
burglary, tiave been as yet defended. The num
bers concerned in any aggression are so far from di
minilhing the guilt of the adion, that they increase
it in proportion to those numbers, because they
can do more mifchief than a few.
1 PROVIDENCE, AUGUST 21.
The Members of'the Society of the Cincinnati
who were in town waited upon the Preiident on
Thuriday, and by his permission were introduced
by Col. Olnby, who verbally addressed him to the
following purport :
"sir,
" I have the honour to wait upon your Excellen
cy, with the Members of the Cincinnati of the
State of Rhode-Ifland, alTembled on this happy
occasion, to pay their refpeds to you in perfoh, and
fb congratulate you on your fafe arrival in this
town ; wishing you the enjoyment of health and
profperry in the Government over which you pre
side.— As many of the gentlemen have not the
honor of personal acquaintance with your Excell
ency, with your permission, Sir, I will introduce
them."
To which the President was pleased to reply,
" It gives me great pleasure to fee so many of my
old military companions on the present occasion,
and I (hall be happy to take them by the hand."
After a particular introduction, the President ex
pressed his most sincere wifhea for their health
Ind prosperity.
For several days the rumours of WAR between
Spain and England, have greatly increased—so
touch so, that were we to give them in detail to
our readers, their patience would be exhausted.
That there is a profped of a War between these
powers is undeniable—But whether it hath yet
been declared —or whether the altercation will
end in open hostilities, time alone can devel
bpe.
Our latest account is, by Capt. Haff, from the
port of St. Andera, in Spain, which he left about
the 15th of July—a: which time every preparation
was making for war—and the declaration of it, by
England, was momently expected :— The .Spani
ards, he fays, w?re in high spirits ; and that all
the nthermen had been impressed a few days be
fore he left Spain, to man the fleet.
The Salem paper of yesterday does not mention
the arrival at Cape Ann, which brought the infor
mation that the British Packet had been spoken
with off Halifax, and that the Captain had inform
ed that war was declared the 16th of July. By the
WESTERN POSTS.

OF WAR.
Canada, the surrender of'Pofc within the United
States,/^ and now garrisoned by British troops.
And this demand Great-Britain has refufed to
comply with, notwithstanding the fetemn stipula
tions of treaty ; and notwithflanding every alledged
caufe for their retention has been removed in
the adop ion 6f the Federel Constitution. If a
war should break out between England and the
House of Bourbon, and if by accident, or otherwise,
Great-Britain fhoald gain any material advantage
over its enemies, perhaps the disadvantage of the r
holding our Frontier posts may be more apparent,
than it now appears to be.
The number of persons in this town taken in
conformity to the Ad of the Legidature of the
United States, at this period, exceeds 18000.
Three or four years since, the whole number was
but 14206.
Congress in a la'e aft, have appropriated Forty
Thousand Dollars for the payment of Pickering's
notes issued after 1782. They have' also appro
priated Thirty-eight Thousand Dollars for the, pay
ment of the people on LongISLAND who have
claims for subsisting American prisoners du
ring the late war. Persons who have such claiis,
or who hold Pickering's notes, may therefore
obtain their money on application to the Treasury.

The disturbances in Cape-Francois, are between
the friends to the National Affcmbly, and the
people who will acknowledge no other supremacy
than the King. The excesses committed have been
great —and the ccnfequence hath been, an almost
entire stoppage of trade.
