It is iaii, that without England, peace would
have been already figtied between Aulrria and
France ; but that notwiihftanciing the mat teuvres
of the Eritilb mini'.rer, it is not far difrant. From
rumours circulating at Ratilbon, but probably with
/light foundation, the principal conditions would
be thele ;
The dif'erent powers to reflect the independence
Of Holland. That iR%:on to be a: liberty tochoole

“ A very unexpected event has thrown our mer
chants here into great coniternation. A Imall
French privateer, called the Flying Filh, went
down the river with the ihips Mount Vernon, At
lantic, aid U Penn, and about fix league*
from the capes captured the former '.hip, landed all
her crew, and took her off. In conftquence ot the
threats from rbe privateer, that they would capture
the otheis, they are on the return here again.
A he; rer from captain Dominick, late malter of
thi Mount Vernon, of this port, to Mefsrs. Wil
ling and Francis, dated the 10th infiant, ofFWjj
mington, contains the following information
“ 'i hat they had not diln.ilset! their pilot more
than two hours—-Cape Henlopen bearing weft, dif*
tant about 6 leagues. Thurfday morning 3 o’clock,
when they observed the fchoonei Flying Filh, abouc
one league a head, who immediately bore down
upon tb< m, find a lhot, and ordered their boat on
board, which was complied with. The boat with
the fecond . fficer and 4 men Went on board to know
their commands ; the officer and men were detain
td by the privateer—which ftnt the boat hack with
14 armed men, and ciders to capf. Dominick to
fend the fhip's papers, faying in the meat) time,
that the Ibip was laden with naval ft ores. The
captain accordingly carried his papers, which the
privateer's men took pofseffion of, hut did not ex
amine, btu declared the Mount Vernon to be a
good prize. The captain txpoftulared on the im
propriety of their conduct towards Americm Ihips*
and property of our citizens. They replied rha:
they had good information from one of the fir ft
American houh’S in Philadelphia, that the ihiphad
naval It ores on board. Captain Dominick then
prevailed cn them to examine the manifeft and re
giltcr ; and they appeared at length to be convin
ced that the was loaded only with articles which
were on board, viz. coffee, rum, (raves, fultic, ar&
logwood. Their only plea tken was, that iincetbc
