ON Wednesday, capt. Christopher Whipple,
in the hoop America, of this port, arrived
here in 23 days from New Orleans. Tie lay fix
months in the river Milliffippi, in hopesof obtain
ing permission of trading with the Spaniards, and
although he purchased such permission for a large .
lum, was forbid to trade, under no less a penalty
than the confifeation of the vessel and cargo. A
guard of Spapilh soldiers was placed on board, and
another on (note opposite his vessel. Various ar
tihees were praffifed to induce him to ' fell a small .
part of his cargo, and some persons, disguised as
soldiers, &c. went -on board, offering very high
prices for trilling articles, in order that a pretext .
might be formed for seizing the vessel, one of whom :
was afterwards*fecn on Ihore dressed as a person of
''Tank. Capt. Whipple further informs, that a .
number of British -vessels were-seized while he-lay
in the river, and that it was said an American vef
fcl would not be permitted to trade, 'till a line shall
be afeertained between the United States and the
Spanish territory orrthoMifliffippi.

Sefet. 4. \\ e have advice from the Southward,
that <sn Sunday last, five fail cf the line and two

NEW-BRUNSWICK, Au,ft24.
A curious fccne happened in New-T ork last
Saturday, not less pleating to the populace of Re
publican principles, than mortifying to the Sup
porters of the British Lion. A woman, who had
had the misfortune to reticle within the Britifli
lines, during the war, whose tenets were always
supposed propitious to the American fide, met a
Tory caitiff in the street, from whom ffie had
received some outrageous abuse; the recognition
of whose features filled her with indignation, to
behold such a flagitious scoundrel have the impu
dence to show his obnoxious face in a city where
his enormities were so numerous and recent: and,
like a true heroine, plucked a cane from the hands
of a by-stander, and disciplined him very hand
somely; all which he bore with patience for some
time', until he found there was not lively to be any
relaxation, when, like a British hero, he made
his efeape by flight.
BALTIMORE, fitly 30.
Capt. James, of the Grip Intrepid, arrived here
from Limerick, informs us, that on his passage, at
daylight in the morning of the 29th ult. in lat. 39,
N% long. 25, W. he fell in with an armed vessel.
that made overtures of speaking with him; and
when she came within hail^fircd a broadside into
him; but Captain James having the advantage of
her in failing, happily got clear. On the 1 2th he
touched at the illand of Fayal, the Governor of
which advised him, that the hostile vessel was a
, Barbary cruiser, (supposed to be from Sallee) and
had taken two Fortuguefe vessels; the crew of one
of which had escaped on ffiore at Tercera, and
reported, that two other armed vessels, from the
fame country, were cruizing off the Azores. This,
information or Capt. James, it is hoped, will be
received as it # was designed, as a friendly and
seasonable caution to matters cf vessels, not to be
tco ready to open a correspondence with vessels
near the aforementioned islands.
