Louisville, June 4. THE treaty
lately held with rhe Seneca Indi
ans, for the extinguishment of
their claim to a small tra& of landl
at Black Rock on Lake Erie, for
the feite of a fort, has failed of suc
cess. The principal redfon as
signed by the Indians for their
:refufal to make this grant, was,
that the Great Spirit is angry with'
them for felling their lands to the
white people, and that he has
threatened them with fore calam
ities, if they do not refrain there#
fr^n in future. The real cause
however, of the failure of the trea
ty is attributed to another source;
The influence which the British
possess in the Indian councils, and
their dislike to the United States'
possessing a military pod at Black
Rock, which is the most imposing
and commanding Situation upon
Lake-Erie.

Nezuyork, July 24.
In yesterday's Gazette we noticed the
arrival of the frigate Essex, Capt. Bain
bridge, after a fourteen months cruize
on the Mediterranean ftatior.
We are informed by capt. Bainbridge,
that the inland of Elms had been evacu
ated by the Bririfh troops.
That Minorca was to be delivered up
by Adm. Seumarez the 17th June./
That the British still retained poffeffiba
of Alexandria and of Malta.
That the day tbe^Effex left Gibraltar,
the fleet under the command of Ld.Keith
failed for England, except the Superb of
74 guns, which remained as a guardfhip.
That the Triumph, a 74, and the Ac
tive frigate of 40 guns, had just failed for
Algiers, on business, it was said, relative
to the detention of an English merchant
man by the Algerines.
We have before noticed (he engage
ment, more accurately stated by captain
Bainbridge; from whom we learn, that
the late engagement wa§ between a Por
tuguese frigate of 36 guns, commanded
by a Frenchman, and an Algerine frig
ate 0644 gons-that it took place .fifteen
miles to the southward of Malaga ; that
ft lifted only one hour, when the French
captain had a leg taken off by a cannon
ball. This circumstance had such an ef
fea upon the crew, that they left their
guns and went below ; and, as the Alge
rines were boardfog the Ship, the wound
ed captain discharged a pistol at his head
and immediately expired. None of his
officers, and only zoos hit crew, were
killed in the engagement. It is not ,•
worthy of remark, that this mt the firft
frigate „r built in Algiers, and the 6 ft
ever captured by them from a Chriftiaa t
power.
Capt. B. on his arrival here, received
orders to proceed immediately for WJh
ington, and we learn he will fail for that
pUC^ on Thursday next.

Capt. Kempton, arrived here, on his
passage from Marseilles to Salou, on the'
nth May, in the night, fell in with a
polacre Ship of 20 guns, which gave him
chafe, came along fide, and proved to be |
an Algerine corsair. He demanded capt,
K's pass, detained him a Short time, and .
released him. During this time the A1- .
gerine behaved very politely, nfed every
means in his power, before boarding, to
convince Capt. K. that he was no, an en
emy ; and informed him that he had no
thing to fear from the Tripolitans, as
they had no cruizers out. Whilst under
quarantine at Salou, Capt. K. fiw an
Algerine brig chafe a Neapolitan Ship a
1 sh re near S lou, which they at empted
to get off; but were fired at from the
(lore, and obliged to leave her. The
Neapolitans Saved therofelves by taking
to their boat and going on Shore.

I —a Skirmish took place, and Christophe's
detachment were cut to pieces by the

" I hope republicanism prevails among
you. Here, where I live, it has come to
full perfeaion ; party work has ceased ;
the tederalifts coufeffing that they were
mistaken, and cheerfully acquiescing in

all fee that they have been milled, and
had been induced to believe, that their
religion would be violated, their proper

duced to wretchedness and misery under
Mr. J/fferfoh's authority ; but now that
they fee that his sole pbje& is to ensure
to each of bis fellow citizens every com- ±
fort that the government can contribute'
to relieve them from oppressive and need
lets taxes —to remove every obstacle to
the free expreffiou of opinion on his coo
dud, and to rest entirely on the justice of
his principles ; and hit ardent desire to
promote universally their happiness and

of all party prejudice, confeffed that they *
