FROM FRANCE.
Capt. Tucker, who arrived at Mar
bVhead on Sunday, was in Boston yes
terday. He informs, that the Captains
of American vessels taken by French
privateers, and who were at Bayonne,
had compromised with the captors, &
that the compromises had been ratified
*■ hv the Council of Frizes at Paris.
The it r»n* were in some instances half
the vessel, and half the proceeds of
the cargo; in some the whole of the
vessel and half the cargo. There
wire no better Urms ; but in some ca
sts where an estimated sum had been
agreed to be ghen to the captain for
his half, by the reduction in the v'tlue
cl merchandize, it had been nearly the.
whole that die cargo sold for.
ITerc had befit no change favorable
to American property which had beeu
kmg sequestered, it was all adverti
sed for sale; the sale to commence on
the .first of August, and to continue
daili' till cnmrilelffl.
Several vessels arrived in Spanish
t)orts direct from America, after the
suspension of the non-intercourse law.
They had all been sequestered, and re
mained so.
There had been a report, some dava
previous to the sailing of Captain T.
that Gen. Armstrong had effected
tome arrangement with the French
Government j and the teport was re
newed the day ci his sailing. It was
said, that American vessels were to be
adm<tfed in French ports with the pro
duce of the soil and industry of the
United States, excepting tobacco,
'/’here was do talk of the General’s
coming home. Mr. Lee had sailed
for this country on a visit, leaving his
family in France, and a deputy Consul
at Bordeaux. Mr. L. sailed 18 days
before Capt. C.
A great number of troops had march
ed through Bayonne into Spain—and
4.3,000 fresh troops from the North
were passing. They were well cloth
ed and appeared chearful, expecting
much booty. It was calculated that
the French h«d lost in 6 months in
Spain, by disease and the sword, near
lv 100,000 men. Great numbers of
Spanish prisoners had been brought
through Bayonne. They were used
very ill. The English prisoners on the
contrary, had no cause to complain of
their treatment.
Tbt Spring Bird brought despatches
for the French Consul.

' * ' Lisbon, July 31.
; The news from the frontiers of Por
tugal is glorious for the arms of our
country. '1 hry begin to verify our
predictions i and Portuguese troops do
not disband and disperse under the
charge of the enemy, as the Spaniards
did at belchite.and Ocana. 'i he bat
tle of the 24»h cm lhe Coa, will be me
morable in the military annals of Por- |
tupal. The following is a succinct ac
count :
The French General I.oison, with 6
or 7000 troops, of which 3000 were
cavalry, attack, d a fortified bridge, de
fended by 4or 5000of the allied tr.iops,
under the command of G n. Crawford,
with some pieces of artillery and two
howitzers. 1 he attark was made so
rapidly with a body of cavalry, that
the vidc'.s had no time to give uotice
of-iheir approach; the artillery was
Useless,& the contending troops com
me nee a the fight with swords aud bay
ox/cts.
7 hrre times the enemy attempted to
p:r h t’icr bridge, ar.d were repulsed.
7 < r fi ial loss of the Perch was 700
r,r b 'O—or the aliird troops, 377 sol
d vrs and 25 otkeern of all grades. We
took muny prisoners, and were joined
by trinity deserters.
7 1;ms has commenced the campaigd
on our frontiers,and the enemy is con
vinced he cannot get a foot of ground on
our territory without covering it with
I'is blood. Our country men prefer
tlei-rh to submission to the Pyrant.
A11 the enemy’s recent movements '
and cp< rations shew a design to be- '
tsieg* A mtida. But that piece ispre-1
pared to make a long r<instance. Jts
defence is entrusted to Brigadier Gen.
Cox, and the pxiuciptd part of the aL
lied forces will be in the vicinity to ar
nt>y the enemy, and to profit by oppor
tunities. {
We know, for certain, that nlarge I
detachment has been sent from M.-is- 1
sena’s army, but its real destination we !
have yet to learn. Some conjecture it i
has been sent to assist in conquering
the kingdom of Valencia ; others, that
it is gone to Biscay, where the Patriots I
hare lately made head a gainst their
cruel enemy ; others, again, that it is
sent to attempt to subdue Galicia.

Latest from Cadiz and Gibraltar.
The brig Young Soldier, which ar
rived at this port yesterday, left Ca
diz on the 30th of July, and Gibraltar
on the 7th of August. It was report
ed at Cadiz that the British and Por
guese armies had formed a junction,
and were on their march against the
French. The French were casting I
mortars of a large calibre at Seville for
the seige of Cadiz. American pro

From the Courier.
“ In the preceding page, we have
copied from a morning paper an ac
count of the meeting of the Society for
the rel sf of Foreigners in distress.
Since that part of our paper was put
to press, we have received authority
to state that the report of the few ob„
servations made by Mr, Pinkney, at
the dinner on Thursday last, of that
Society, is wholly incorrect. With the
exception of a very few words, on
thanking the company for drinking his
health ; expressing his well known con
currence in their wish, “ that there
might be perpetual amity between
Great Britain and the United States,”
his speech was conlined to the nature
and merits of the benevolent instituti
on, of which, with several other foreign
ministers, he is a member. The words
“ filial piety” applied by the statement
in a morning paper to America rrla
livcly to Great Britain, was applied by
Mr. Pinkney, to the Society of which
he was speaking, relatively to charity,
its parent.”
From the Morning Chronicle*
“Mr. Pinkney rose, and,in a speech
of great and impressive eloquence, re
turned thanks lor the honor that had
vessels of waT, which the Plrat:* stole
from the Danes at Copenhagen.
• [Pub. Adver.
The Public Advertiser mi^hc have
gone further and remarked with pro
priety, that the fact of sending the Ve
nus is another proof of the disregard of
the British government to the laws of
delicacy, and the disrespect which it
cherishes, towards our government.
The Veuus was stolen from Copenha
gen, the capital of an unoffending neu
tral power; and sending her as the
bearer of a mission to another neutral
and unoffending nation, speaks a lan
guage which none but British partizans
can fail to understand. When Jack
son was sent hither, the British govern
ment knew that his agency in the’Co
penhagen massacre and ship-stealing,
had rendered him obnoxious to all neu
tral nations, and to all men of honor
and magnanimity throughout the civi
lized world ; and now, that Jackson is
to go hdme, and as they cannot send
another agent in that or a similar in
fernal transaction, still, in order to show
us that they have the same contempt
for our neutral principles as ever, they
send one of the ships which Jackson
and his naval myrmidons, by virtue of
their44 supremacy,’* plundered from
the neutral Prince of Denmark. This
is by way of warning us, what may be
our fate, it we persevere in refusing the
blessings of British protection!

WASTriNG-row CrrV, Sept. 12.
Since the notice we took a few days
since of the misrepresentation in the
English prints of Mr. Pinkney’s
speeches, we have received the Lon
don Courier of the 23d of June and
the Morning Chronicle of the 25th of
the same month, which corroborate
our statement. As the remarks ascri
bed to Mr. Pinkney have produced no
small sensation in this country to his
pu judice, it is but justice to him to
republish the following articles. The
Morning Chronicle, we are advised.
_i_ . -
been clone him by drinking h:s health*
It was unnecessary for him to add that!
the wish of the company of “ Perpetu
al amity between Great Britain and
the United St ites,” was also his. in
place <*f enlarging on this topic, he ask
i ep permission to say two or three
wor Ji tu addition to what had been so
well expressed by nis royal highness the
Duke of Gloucester on the subject of
.the admirable institution, which had
been the occasion of their meeting toge
ther. Amongst the many charitable es_
tablishments of this country, there were
few or none that promised to be so ex
tensively useful. This benevolent So
ciety had nothing local as to its objects,
as it offered relief to the distressed of
all nations, without distinction.
After paying a just and elegant
compliment to the illustrious Chair,
man, on that characteristic benevolence
which induced himjro warmly to pa
tronize this most, excellent institution,
Mr. Pinkney proceeded to display,
with the greatest eloquence and effect,
the peculiar merits of the charity.;
The words “ filial pietywhich, in
the statement in the Times, of Friday
last, were mistakenly applied to Ame
rica in relation to Qreat Britain, were
happily applied by Mr. Pinkney to So
cieties like that of which he was speak
ing relatively to the virtue which sug
gested & produced them. He stated, in
the conclusion of his speech, that he
felt confident that the example 6f this
Society would in time be followed by
America—that he took delight in
hoping that it would be foUowcdalso
by the other nations of the earth ; and,
if it should, he exclaimed, what a glo
rious and animating spectacle would
these widely spread institutions exhi
bit to the eye of benevoieuce; and
what a happy effect might they not be
expected to produce upon the hearts
of men, instilling into them, more and
more, nnrl from riav rn stair Ini-*
' J -J * --
of their fellow-creatures; that Socie
ties like this were cause, as well as ef
fect. They were produced by chari
ty but charity was again produced by
them. So, indeed he added, must it
be with all institutions which tend to
fulfil the great desigtis ol Providence.
“ With a true filial piety,” to adopt
the expressions of a great man, they
cherish and strengthen, and diffuse the
influence oi that virtue, whatever it b£,
to which they owe their existence.
“The whole of Mr. Pinkney’s speech
! was marked with all that discretion
which became his situation ; yet he
gave ample scope to his feelings 2s a
man, in this great cau>e of humanity ;
and his sentiments, which were deli
vered in the most eloquent language,
were heard by the company with heart
felt satisfaction and long continued ap
plause. ”

We are sorry to hear from the south,
as well as the north and west, that our
Indian neighbors appear restless. The
following letter from a gentleman of
the first respectability, dated Colum
bia, August 19th, merits attention.
“ I have just received a letter from
Mr. John Fitchlyan, of the Chocktaw
nation, dated 27th July. Mr. P. writes
that a fewol the Chocktaws have been
at a treaty with the Creek Indians
who informed them, that the British
and Spaniards would shortly possess
all this country—the Spaniards have
lately sent for some of the six town
Indians, of which about 100 went,
and received presents of them—that
about the falling of tire leaves, there
would be present* to a Urge amount
given to all the Chocktaw nation ; |
which seems ^to Substantiate what the ,
Creeks told them.” These are the !
words ol Pitchiyao. •
