LISBON, July 2.
The captain of one of our merchant vessels arrived from the bay of All Saints, in fifty-seven days, says, that eight French frigates had done very considerable damage on the coast of Africa, and that they had already burnt thirty-eight ships, both English, Dutch, and Portuguese, who were concerned in the slave trade. They took the merchandise and people from the vessels, set the negroes at liberty, and then burnt the vessels.
LONDON, August 4.
A letter from Spain of the 11th of July, says "by this post we received the unwelcome news of the Emperor of Morocco having declared war against the Swedes."
The defeat of the Emigrants, and the peace between France and Spain have produced a wonderful change of tone in the Ministerial papers. They now talk only of a naval war, without saying a word of marching to Paris, or acknowledging Louis XVIII. In the course of a day or two they will probably receive fresh instructions.
PLOT AT ST. MALO.
The plot by which St. Malo was to be delivered to the Chouans and Emigrants, was discovered in the following manner:—One of the municipal officers who had been bribed to surrender the town, made a present to his hair dresser of an old coat. The hair dresser in putting his hands into one of the pockets, discovered a letter from a Chouan leader to the municipal officer, which contained the particulars of the plot. The hair dresser, a staunch Republican, immediately communicated the letter to the commander of the National Guard. The municipal officer was arrested, and the town was saved.
PARIS, August 18.
Peace with the German Empire is the object upon which the attention of all Europe is now fixed. It is certain that negotiations with the Empire will be the most difficult and the most decisive; and we shall not be at all astonished to see them checked by intrigues of all kinds.
August 29.
The French revolution and its consequences, have had so terrible an influence upon the finances of the Pope, that the debts of the state have increased eight millions of ducats, and that paper money actually looses twelve per cent. To prevent a bankruptcy, it is proposed to suppress some convents to sell the superfluous plate of the churches, and to lay an impost on equipages and domestics. A congregation of Cardinals, has been charged to examine the different plans proposed to government, for the re-establishment of the finances.
BOSTON, October 8.
We have it from undoubted authority, that the executive government at Paris decreed (arrested) in July last, that all purchases of provisions in the United States by the agent general of France should cease; and that the articles which he might have on hand, should be sold.
This is the preliminary we conceive, to harsher measures, as that determination was founded on the tacit consent we gave to the British to capture all vessels indiscriminately bound from these States to France, and contentedly receiving ten per cent on the cost, while France pays us upwards of 100 per cent.
These captures are more aggravating still, as it indirectly contrives at supplying Great-Britain at ten per cent advance, and having confirmed it by a treaty, in which we authorise Great-Britain to force our ships into her ports and there to be paid, at reasonable mercantile profit, which has been determined at the maximum of a tenth part profit.
At the same time we think the
FARMER who only could look to France for the sale of his produce, must feel this stroke with double sensations, as he will lose at once fifty per cent on the sales of his produce, and this caused by the blessed British treaty made between Judge Jay and Secretary Lord Grenville.
LANCASTER, October 23.
A private letter from Ireland, dated the 24th August mentions the affairs of that country to be in a very alarming situation—"Riots are taking place in all parts of the kingdom, and several thousands under the title of defenders, have turned out, with a view, (as it said) of relieving themselves from the distresses of government, and they only appear to want a leader, to carry their designs into execution."
Lexington, November 21.
A Spanish gentleman arrived in this town on Thursday last; it is reported he has been recognized by the President of the U. S. as Consul from the Court of Madrid, for the States of Virginia and Kentucky.—He came down the Ohio.
Extract of a letter from Havana, dated August 21, to a gentleman in New-York.
"It is only this day I have been able to get a copy of the royal order in form, relative to the American effects, captured and made prizes of by Ariztavarrel's squadron. You will find it enclosed, & hope it will answer every purpose you promise yourself. I also forward you a translation of it, lest you might be at a loss on that head. The motions of the general of marine are, as usual, very slow in ordering restitution agreeable to his master's commands; but it must take place sooner or later, in spite of his tardiness on the occasion."
Translation of the king of Spain's orders.
"The king having determined, that the American vessels made prizes of by the squadron of Don Gabriel de Ariztavarrel, shall be returned to their owners, together with the money which remains deposited in that treasury, belonging to the cargoes of said prizes. I communicate to you this his royal order, for its observance in the part that appertains to you. God preserve you many years."

To the Public.
IN support of my conduct and character, and in justification of some representations made by my wife relative to the conduct of the rev. Benedict Swope , I think it a duty I owe to society and myself, to state as concisely as possible, the mode pursued by the rev. gentleman to prejudice the minds of those, on whom (in consequence of his religious office) he had an unfortunate ascendancy against my wife and family. Instead of instituting a suit at law against me, for any slanderous, false or inflammatory words, which he alleges have been uttered by my wife, to his prejudice; he on a particular day convened a number of his society, to whom, I am respectably informed, he presented a paper, representing the uprightness of his moral and religious conduct; and at the same time stating a variety of allegations, said to have been made by my wife. Which paper he prevailed on those then assembled to sign. The contents of the paper I cannot be fully informed of, but have every reason to believe it contains sentiments very injurious to my wife's character. I therefore wish the said rev. Benedict Swope to publish the contents of said paper, that the public and myself may judge of them, as I am conscious my wife never related any thing of said Benedict Swope but what she can justify, and that I may have an opportunity of removing the false impressions, which I am induced to believe the contents of the said paper have made, and also to obviate the bad effects which a paper of that kind may have on the reputation of my children, provided it should lay dormant until my death.
