Newyork, Sept. 8. Great prepara
tions are going on in England, to de
fend themselves against the much-talk
ed of invasion by the French.
The boats belonging to the Britiffi
look-out squadron, off Brest, after a
most bloody and well fought conflid,
have focceeded in capturingtheFrench
corvette La Chevrette. The British
loft 180 in killed and wounded. This
action was fought under the heavy
batteries of the outer road of Brest,
Salem, Sep. io. By Capt. Martin^
of the armed schooner Raven, who ar
rived at Marblehead on Monday last,
from the Mediterranean, we have been
politely favored with the following in
formation :
Capt. Martin left Leghorn, on the
20th of June, in co. with the following
armed veffels,' viz. shi p Columbia, of
Alexandria, 12 guns, 40 men, Wait,
who a&ed as commodore; ffiip Me
chanic, of Baltimore, 12 guns, and 34
men; sch. Washington Folger, Phi
ladelphia, 4 guns, 10men; brig Hap
py Coupl%Wyeth, Newyork, 7 guns,
and 18 men—with a determined refoz
lution to force their way through the
Me&erraneapas all the Tripolitan
fleet was then cruising in those seas.

As v>as before Rated in this paper, (Aurora)
contrar, to rumours of a contrary tendency, we now
againftate, that no difficult, arefe te obftrua the ra

It is not true that Prussia acceded to^a treat, be
tween Raffia and Britain, no Josh treat, having
been concluded. But it is true that Prussia did a,-
prove of the principles of accommodation between the
neutral powers and Britain, because the latter jab
mitted to the principles upon which the armed neu
trality commenced, which it will be recolleaed was
a denial of the right of the Englijh to fearcb afleet
effoip under convey of 4 Swedish frigate in the N.
Sea, which frigate the British then captured, and
have face relea/ed.-
- So well award word the Britifo government of
this arrangement, that on the 22dof tbsfame month,
the Briti/b J orces in England lorn arranged into 4
different divifous; the left, or force on the oaf coast
from the Thames to Flamborough confined of 12,000
regulars,^ 26,000 militia, bead quarters Cbtlmj
ford, the centre in 3 droifiens, the left, of which ea
tending from Ramfgate to H,tbe, tbe fetond from
Rye to Seaford, and the third from Newbamen to
Cbicbefhr, forming a bod, of, 25,000 regulars, and
30,000 militia. The right wing cempojed of 18,
cop regulars and 22,c00 militia, from Cbicbtfcr
to Pools, bead-quarters Wipebtfe,. The fourth, or
^"4 arm,, to cover Plymouth.
Ibe militia and forcible corps have the charge of
the North Ee&fl and Wefl ciafts. The force in Ire
land, conffing of 66,000 men, is formed also into
three encampments, the ,oftions of which have not
,a been made public.
The Britfb negotiator at Petersburg failed in bis
effirt to produce a new coalition of the Despots ; and
as it l appears was rewarded with a peerage for bis
want of juccefs— The poisoning of Paul I. there,
fore, has not produced all the impeded con,qnerfes ;
for the rights of neutrals are recognized, and the
jhips of neutrals, piratical.) seized bj_ Britain, are
rdsajed.
9be mm-Between Calais & Bolougne, the
right division of the centre, 24,000 men ; left
divifijn of the centre 16,000 men from Rom
to St. Malo ; a referee of 40,000 from St. Va
lin to Dieppe ; on this part of the coaft.6oo
flat boats, one half of which carry cavalry.
The left wing, in two divisions, one a&ing as
a reserve, the frft from. St. Brieux to Quimper,
30,000 men ; the reserve 194 000 stretching
across the Tillaiae towards the Loire.
Capt Manin informs, that on the
12th of July, about io o'clock, a- m.
the combined French and Spanish
fquadrc,ns, consisting of 9 ships of the
line and 4 frigates, got under way from
Algefiras and flood out of the bay,
bound for Cadiz ; at 1 p. m. the Eng
lish fleet, consisting of§fail of the line
and 2 frigates, and several vessels, un-
Ider the command of Sir James Sau
marez, got under way from Gibraltar,
and stood out, with the wind at the
eafi ward, with an intent of bringing the
French and Spanish ships to a&ion,
which he effected at about 11 or 12
that night. One of the English ships
ran between two of the Spanish three
deckers, gave each of them a broad
fide, and immediately dropped astern.
The two Spaniards, mistaking each o
ther for an enemy's ship, engaged till
both ships blew up, and out of 2400
men, (the complement of both ships,)
only 46 were saved. The battle ter
minated with the loss of one ship on
the French fide, besides the two three
deckers, which blew each other up.
Capt. M. saw part of the English fleet
arrive at Gibraltar, in quite a disabled
condition, one of them being com
pletely difmafted. Two ships miffing,
which, perhaps, may have bden also
blown up or captured.
The whole fleet, however, reached
Gibraltar on the 12th of July, without
meeting any hostile ship on their pas
sage. Capt. Martin found the Tripo
litan Admiral's ship, of 28 guns, 300
men, and a brig of 14 guns, 250 men,
at Gibraltar when he arrived.
The American squadron had been
at Gibraltar, but had failed 6 days bes
fore Capt. M. arrived. The Prefix
dent, Essex and Experiment, had gone
up the Mediterranean, and the Phila
delphia was cruising in the mouth of
the Streits, to watch the motions of the
Tripolitan Admiral—who told Com=
modore Dale, upon his honor, that no
declaration of war had been made by
the Bafhaw against the United States—
but after our squadron left Gibraltar,
he positively declared; that the whole
intent of his cruise was to capture A
merican vessels. The Tripolitan ad
miral at firft vauntingly displayed his
colours, and boldly talked of captur
ing every American vessel that came
in his way ; but in a few days after
wards the scene was entirely changed ;
the Essex and the other frigates arriv
ed, and the piratical flag was no longx
er hoisted. These pirates will not now
dare venture to sea, as they would soon
be captured by the Philadelphia—and
if they remain in port, their profpea
of success is not much better, for hav
ing 500 men to support, and not being
abundantly furnifhed with provisions,
they will find it almost impossible to
obtain new supplies, as the British gar
rison affords few provisions, and no
merchant in Gibraltar will accept their
bills for a dollar—for, however Jerne
might be disposed to help a briefer in
distress, yet it is well known if the
corsairs are captured, the Bey of Tri
poli' would refufcpajmmi of their bills.
Thus circumstanced, we cannot but
entertain the most sanguine expecta
tion of their falling into the possession
of our squadron, when we hope they
will be funk or burnt at fea.'

STEPHEN STARK.
Dunbarton, Sept. 19, 1801. 34
- A court was called last Monday, and being
charged with the murder, confeffed the crime.
The court after the examination of witnesses,
pronounced sentence, that he Ihould be burn to
death on the common of this town, on Tuef
day, between the hours of is and 4 o'clock,
which sentence was put in execution in the pre
sence of a great concourse of people.
Fairbanks owned that he was the cause of the
death of Miss Pales, and declared the Court &
Jury did rig^t in his case. Some idea may be
formed of the multitude of those who attended
his execution, from the fad that 711 carnages
passed tho' Spriog.ftreet, in Roxbury, to Ded
ham. Many of them 4 wheel carriages !
In an unhappy dispute between two women
in Lexington, (Kentucky) after fighting some
time.with sticks, one of them left the house, &
the other discharged a gun at her ; the contents
of which, a bullet and 10 buck riot, put an
end to her existence in two hours.
Married, last Tuefday evening, Mr. Simeon
G. Hall, of this town, to Miss Sally Hardy.
A Most Horrid Murder!
Knoxville, Aug. 5 . On Wednesday night last
Mrs. Sarah Crawford, of Knox county, (whose
hufbind was absent, and who resided with her
3 children about too yards from her father's)
was most inhumanly murdered, by negro jack,
the property of Stephen Pate. She was found
the next morning lying in the yard, one of the
most shocking fpeaacles that can be conceived.
It appears that she had been strangled & other
wise il/ufed on the bed, as blood was found on
that and the infant which she had in the bed
with her, and afterwards dragged into the yard,
where the was beat to death with a board and
claw hammer. There were fourteen wounds
on her head, three of which penetrated to the
skull, her breasts and arms were much bruised
and one of them broken. The perpetrator of
this horrid a&, was taken and committed to jail
on Saturday last. On his examination he con
felled the faa, and acknowledged that his in
tention was to have gone to bed to Mrs. Craw
ford, but that meeting with refinance he was
induced to murder her.
