CIVITTA VECCHIA, June 30.
The beginning of this month a most terrible battle was fought about 12 leagues from the point of Messina, between an Algerine cruiser of 18 guns, full of men, and a ship of 26 nine and twelve pounders, belonging to the King of the two Sicilies; the conflict began at seven in the morning, and lasted till near three in the afternoon. The Algerine received the first broadside, which carried away the starboard main chains, and much damaged the standing rigging; the salute was immediately returned, and the fight commenced with the utmost resolution—each party seemed determined to conquer or die; the pirate hoisted the bloody flag, and ran along side the frigate, in a situation ready for boarding, and had nearly grappled her, but she kept up such a constant well directed fire into the rover, that entirely frustrated their intention, & killed a vast number of their men, yet this success did not prevent the barbarian making another attempt, which also failed with great loss; this obliged them to sheer off for a short time, but they soon renewed the combat, when a most tremendous cannonade began on both sides, which lasted upwards of two hours without intermission; unfortunately the frigate's foremast was carried away close by the board, and fell upon the deck, which did a considerable deal of damage, besides killing and wounding a number of men.
Notwithstanding this unfortunate circumstance the brave Christians, whose courage was not in the least damped, kept fighting on, fully determined to sink the robbers. During this time a sloop of war of 16 guns and a cutter of 12, who had parted company from the above ship two days before luckily came up, and played their part so well that in a short time the pirate was all in flames, but by the exertions of the crew the fire was got under,
Notwithstanding the crippled state and dangerous situation the pirate was in, yet these Russians fought with such an uncommon degree of desperation that was astonishing, and most beyond description: at this juncture the frigate was so much shattered both in hull and rigging, that she could hardly be kept above water, and was obliged to be towed out of the action.
In the mean time the sloop and cutter kept up such an incessant and well directed fire into the rover, till she was totally disabled, her mast, yards and rigging, utterly destroyed, her guns dismounted, and her port holes knocked three and four into one: nevertheless this desperate crew displayed to strike, and kept a constant fire with small arms, from which many of the balls were chewed; at last when they found that they could not resist the king's force any longer they set fire to the magazine and blew themselves up, together with a number of Christians captives they had on board who all perished with the infidels.
P. S. The pirate was commanded by Sidi Beder, a fellow of invincible courage very bold and daring; this man was a great terror to the Spaniards in their late war with Spain—he has not only sunk and captured several ships which were fitted out on purpose to take him, but would often land upon their coast in open day with his crew in spite of all resistance, carry off the inhabitants and ravage whole villages.
TANGIERS, July 10.
The emperor of Morocco, Muly Solymian, has marched for Rebat, with a body of 63,000 cavalry, and is to be joined on his march by his brother, prince Muley Taib, with another body of 35,000 horse, when they are to proceed together to Marrocco, with a view to depose their brother, Bendris. These fraternal visits are likely to occasion the effusion of much kindred blood.
AMSTERDAM, July 18.
A treaty of amity was signed at Arranjuez by the prince of Peace, on the part of Spain, and citizens Peñigon and Valkenear, on the part of the French and Batavian republics, by which the latter republic formally accedes to the treaty of amity subsisting between France and Spain. The French and Batavian governments are
on the point of ratifying this triple alliance which is chiefly directed against the British superiority at sea.
It is probable that admiral Jervis has withdrawn from the close investment of Cadiz to cruise off the port. Accounts from Gibraltar state, that the Spanish fleet having exhibited some shew of putting to sea, admiral Jervis unmoored and proceeded to sea to meet them.
CHRONICLES OF GREAT BRITAIN.
CHAPTER 105TH.
1. And it came to pass, that in those days a desire of revolutions prevailed, and whole nations were employed in ascertaining the rights of men; and scarcely any thing else was spoken of than liberty.
2. And the people of England believed themselves to be a free people, and they prided themselves upon this privilege.
3. And they boasted, that by their bill of right, it was decreed, "That the person of no man among them could be seized, unless he had been guilty of a crime;" and that their judges had declared that no man could be a slave in this land.
4. And the trade of this nation was very great,—and its seamen were hardy and bold, inasmuch that the people used to boast that their ships formed a wooden rampart round their isle.
CHAPTER 106. THE SAILORS.
1. Now it came to pass that a ship had returned from a voyage to a far country, the mariners were emaciated with hunger and fatigue; for they had been absent from home many years.
2. And when they landed, they rejoiced, and their hearts leaped within them, on the prospect of once more meeting their wives, their children and friends, and in recruiting their exhausted strength in the bosom of their families.
3. And they went cheerfully along conversing together, unsuspicious of harm,—when lo! a band of ruffians fell suddenly on them in broad day, in the sight of all the people.
4. And they beat them with clubs and bound them with cords, and dragged them along to a darksome dungeon, into which they were thrust among many others, who had been treated after the same manner.
5. And they said to the Russians who attacked them, what evil have we done? but they got no answer, except oaths and curses, and severe usage.
6. And they called out to the people for assistance, saying we have done no harm, but no one regarded them.
7. And they passed sorrowfully along through the crowds of people, and they moaned at their fate, while they shouted incessantly 'Liberty! Liberty for ever! This is the land of freedom!'
8. And these people were forced to go down again directly into the sea in ships, without having seen their wives, their children, or their friends.
9. And their wives and their children were sore distressed by poverty, and hunger, and nakedness.
10. Neither could the men afford them any relief, for they were constrained to go out to battle against their enemies.
11. And many of them fell in battle, and perished; and their names were forgotten among the people.
12. And their children were reduced to beggary, and were disposed because they were poor.
13. Behold! Such is the liberty that mariners enjoy, and such is the protection that the law affords to their best friends and defenders in this very happy land of freedom.
GENERAL VIEW OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
The intelligence which has come to hand since our last survey, affords very little that can be deemed certain concerning the affairs of Europe, in which America unfortunately continues too much interested. That the negotiations at Lille were continued at the time the latest accounts left Europe, seems to be undoubted, but that there were great difficulties and embarrassments some where, is evident from the length of time they have continued, and the excessive secrecy
with which every thing is conducted. But what the difficulties are, it is impossible to say, and those who publish their conjectures on the subject, blame the French or the English, as their political opinions lead them to favor the one or the other.
The great preparations making throughout the emperor's dominions, show that his power is yet far from being annihilated; and the readiness of his subjects to recruit his armies, that whatever distresses they may have endured, they are yet by no means tired of war. But though we are certain that great preparations continue to be made throughout the imperial dominions, we are ignorant of their destination. The counter-preparation, by the king of Prussia, prove that he is alarmed; and report says, that the emperors of Germany and Russia, in conjunction, are to make war on Prussia. Should this be the case we might expect to see in part a renewal of the terrible war in 1755; and though the negotiations at Lille were this moment concluded in the most favourable manner between France and England, they would in all probability, answer very little purpose. Prussia alone could not contend with these formidable powers; and neither France, Sweden nor Denmark would see the Prussian monarch destroyed; so that the peace would probably be of very short duration, and England would undoubtedly soon take one side or other.
The state of France has from the beginning of the war, offered a wide field for speculation. It is remarkable, that the British ministry have uniformly built their hopes on the internal convulsions that had taken place or were to take place, among the French; and, though they have found themselves so often deceived, the same conjectures, speculations and plans built upon them, still continue. So confident were they in this respect, that, when France was first invaded by the Prussians, the ministerial prints did not hesitate to predict, that the whole country would be conquered in less than a month! the prophets set too short a time for the fulfillment of their prediction, and lived to see the falsehood of it. Then the war of Vendee was to accomplish their wishes; and, to the disgrace of the nation, a bill to enable his majesty to assist the Vendean rebels, was brought into parliament, or proposed to be so! then, or perhaps before, they were to be starved into submission. Every prediction shared the fate of its predecessor; the war was carried on with the utmost fury, until a peace became absolutely necessary to both parties. Lord Malmsbury was sent, nominally as an ambassador, but, as some English and American newspapers said, probably to take advantage of the divisions already existing or to attempt to create new ones. Even at his second mission the same disgraceful story has been repeated, and the differences between the directory and councils have been supposed the immediate preludes to a tremendous revolution, of which a new advantage may be taken. If we consider the matter fairly, however, it must be evident, that though the directory or the councils, may be affected by these convulsions, the re-establishment of royalty is as distant and improbable as ever. It is the jealousy of this very power that has been the cause of so much destruction and bloodshed in France. Had not Robespierre taxed his enemies with being royalists, he would never have established such a tyranny as he did; and had not the people perceived that, under the tale of liberty, he himself was in reality a king, that tyranny could not have been overthrown. In like manner, whatever may be the consequence of the present dispute between the directory and councils, the cause is evidently a mutual suspicion of royalty. The councils say, that the directory are assuming the power of a king: the directory appeal to the army, and they take part with them, not because the directory say so, but because, upon deliberation, they perceived that royalty raises its head, and the councils decree improper laws, and such as are evidently subversive of liberty. This deliberation of the army is, it seems, contrary to the constitution; but this shows how little possible it is for any legislature to enforce a doctrine contrary to the natural sensations of the human heart. Let it once be established that a le-
gislature (whether consisting of few or many) has a right to command the armed force of a country to act as it thinks proper, without considering whether such action is right or wrong, then despotism is, to all intents and purposes established; because the legislature may command the army to do wrong as well as right; and the expedient of changing the legislature at stated times cannot answer the purpose; far more mischief may be done in a month, than can be repaired in a year. Of this the French armies are themselves sensible. It was their deliberations, and a refusal to act against the people, that destroyed monarchy in France. They took up arms against kings, and in the same cause they still continue to exercise them. In the proceedings of the legislature, they see, or think they see, the image of royalty; & while this continues to be the case, it is vain to imagine that they will pay any regard either to the commands of the councils, or of their most favorite generals, a very remarkable instance of which we have in Buonaparte's declaration, that he was not able to hinder them from deliberating. The only means by which either the Directory or Councils can get out of the present dilemma, is by showing that they are both friends to liberty, and have neither design nor inclination to restore the ancient system of tyranny and superstition! Thus indeed we may say, that the army is the supreme power, and that the legislature is a mere cypher. It may be so: but the dilemma is evident, and is incident to all governments. Either the armed force must consider themselves as mere machines made to rush on blindly without regard to right or wrong, at the command of their leaders, which is despotism; or they must consider themselves, like other men, judges of the propriety of their own actions, which is military government. It is certain that all the three have deviated from the constitution; The Directory, by ordering the troops too near Paris; the Council, by forming a military arrangement, and the army by deliberating. An oblivion and indemnity for what is past, seems to be all that is necessary, or indeed possible to be done.
In Italy, disturbances and revolutions every where continue, though we cannot pretend to give any particular detail of them, and indeed we have some accounts of their having been greatly exaggerated, which seems by no means improbable. Reports prevail of a revolution in Rome and annihilation of the pope's temporal power; but these are not confirmed.
Switzerland hath, as yet, remained in quiet, though the demands of Buonaparte, and symptoms of a revolutionary spirit have given considerable uneasiness. The grand question now agitated through the whole world is, whether man shall think and act for himself; or shall the majority allow others to think for them, and direct their action, accordingly? It is this which has acted in Europe like a fire hitherto unquenchable, and from the effects of which no form of government there established can get free.
England, since the last vigorous exertions of government, seems to have gained a very considerable accession of strength, not only by the subjugation, but apparent conversion, of great numbers of Irish patriots, who, now, if we may believe some accounts show themselves more inclined to fight in the cause of government than they did formerly against it. It is really painful and humiliating to think that those who have taken an oath to procure a reform in government, should, on the first appearance of danger, as readily take an oath to support that government without any reform; but while such transactions blot the national character, it must be a demonstration that if England puts any confidence in such soldiers, she leans upon a broken reed; and if the ministry presume, upon the apparent unanimity which force has brought about, to continue the war, they will in all probability, be deceived. Mutinies still continue; but excepting one instance, the sailors have hitherto proved unsuccessful.
The operations of the Spaniards in Europe appear to be conducted with the usual tedious prolixity which has been so frequently taken notice of in the proceedings of that nation. At

Cadiz the presence of the king seems to have inspired some activity, and it is said that admiral Jervis has been obliged to cut his cables and abandon the blockade; but this coming by the way of France, has been contradicted in the English papers. The Portuguese have used every effort to put themselves in a state of defence, for which purpose they have recourse to the cruel mode of impressing. The dilatory conduct of the Spaniards has afforded them sufficient time; but if they should be attacked by the combined army of France and Spain, the event cannot be doubtful. At present it seems pretty well authenticated, that they have avoided the danger by concluding a peace.
Russia, during the convulsions of Europe, hath wisely kept free from the dreadful controversy; but if now she justifies the report of her design to interfere, there can be no doubt that a new contest will ensue, still more terrible than the former:—In the mean time, we are told that the Emperor has taken under his protection the army of French emigrants under the prince of Conde—that he is about to make application to the courts of Vienna and London to continue their generous benefaction to it; and in the mean time, that every individual, whether officer or soldier, shall receive the same rank and pay which he now enjoys. "We cannot know" says the account, "until the return of the courier who is to be sent to Russia, what is the nature of the hereditary grants which his imperial majesty intends to promise this army, besides granting to the French nobility the same privileges which the nobles of Russia enjoy."—It must certainly give pleasure to every person to hear that these unfortunate men have at last found an asylum. Whatever may have been the crimes of the French emigrants, of which this army is composed, they have certainly suffered abundantly. To be driven from country to country—to be refused a residence in any nation, and to be as tho' no place was found for them upon earth, is more than man ought to think of inflicting on his fellow creature.
NEW-YORK, October 13. Extract of a letter from a house of respectability in London dated July 22, to a merchant of this city. "Our government has this day paid in money, the amount awarded by the commissioners to the individual claimants in America, for losses sustained by illegal captures of your neutral ships, and property to a very considerable amount, with handsome profits on the cargoes, and interest from the time captured, up to the first of July inst. This conduct must give very general satisfaction with you."
Several papers supposed to have been highly in what is called the "federal interest," begin to speak rationally on the subject of foreign attachment. "Let this country," says one of them, "abstract itself from all foreign influence; and if attacked, or our rights invaded by any of them let us treat them alike, as enemies, whether Dutch, English, French, or any nation whatever. An American legislator should consider himself as being in the leading strings of no foreign power whatever, but as acting solely for the prosperity and honour of his country."
We hear from Boston that great exertions are making to finish the launch of the new frigate Constitution. The attempt, which it is expected will be successful, will take place on the 19th.
What cannot be contested, says an official French paper, is that twenty five or thirty thousand tons formerly in the trade of Great Britain, are suddenly metamorphosed, through the most infamous machievallism, into American vessels.
October 18.
A gentleman who came passenger in the ship Citizen, from Lisbon, which place he left on the 19th of August informs, that on the 15th admiral Jervis was still before Cadiz, but nothing particular had taken place. The merchants and other inhabitants were returning into town, and it was supposed that the blockade would soon be given up.
Admiral Jervis had sent orders to the commanding officer of the British
ships in Lisbon, to embark all military stores, to man the Spanish prize ships, and send them to Plymouth.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, October 18. RIGHTS OF WOMAN.
At the late election in this town, the Females asserted the privilege granted them by the laws of this state, and gave in their votes for members to represent them in the state legislature.
Though it is a general opinion that females ought not to intermeddle in political affairs, yet the emperor of Java never employs any but women in his embassies, and those are generally widows. The court of Java is persuaded, that women are better calculated than men for negotiations, that they are more accustomed to dissimulation and constraint, that they have more address and ascendancy, and that they possess greater resources of a creative fancy, as well as fertility in expedients.
A Correspondent asks—Is it not probable that we should have obtained better terms in a certain treaty, had some widow been appointed to negotiate it, instead of an extraordinary MALE minister?
A Hartford paper mentions, that such is the rage for psalmody, that a man, discovered some nights since under a bridge, was, by his own account only catching a little cold, that he might be the better able to sing Bass on the ensuing Sunday.
PHILADELPHIA, October 20.
Extract of a letter from Washington county, Virginia, dated October 1, "On Mr. Blount's arrival, in Tennessee, a few of his partisans assayed to have him brought forward as a candidate for a Senator. This gave an opportunity for the citizens to see several gentlemen unmasked. The final trial took place last week, and Judge Anderson and Mr. Jackson were easily elected Senators in the room of Blount and Cocke. This is considered as a fatal overthrow to the cidevant governor and his plans in the Tennessee."
CINCINNATI, October 28.

FROM A SCOTCH PAPER of August.
DUMFRIES, August 1.
A desperate battle was fought some days ago at a small public house on the Elix road, between an Englishman and a Scotchman, in which the former with some difficulty came off victorious; the dispute arose from a conversation on the impending treaty at Lisle. The Scotchman was for carrying on the war with redoubled vigour; and observed sneeringly, that he should not be surprised if the French were to insist on Scotland being ceded to them as one of the terms of peace. The Englishman, who was adverse to the continuation of the war, said no, there was no danger of that, for Ministers had already offered Scotland to France, but the Directory refused to receive it, unless Northumberland was joined to it; this was too much for Sawney, who enraged at the indignity offered to his country, immediately told the other he lied and knocked him down.

The public, I presume, has seen a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and Joseph Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass unanswered, but that I am apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges, and an acknowledgment of their claim.—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can he legally claim a foot of property under me—If he could, why do not the persons claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desirous that my land disputes might be terminated, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure: In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last,—but 'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued with more keenness if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people—they kindly say they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentlemen, if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be so—but most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning complaisance, would resent it as I do.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
MAN WAS MADE TO MOURN.
A DIRGE.
BY ROBERT BURN.
WHEN chill November's surly blast Made fields and forests bare, One evening as I wander'd forth, Along the banks of Ayr, I spy'd a man, whose aged step Seem'd weary, worn with care; His face was furrow'd o'er with years, And hoary was his hair.
Young stranger whither wand'rest thou?
Began the rev'rend sage; Does thirst of wealth thy step constrain,
Or youthful pleasures rage? Or, haply press'd with cares & woes, Too soon thou hast begun, To wander forth, with me, to mourn The miseries of man?
The sun that overhangs yon moors, Outspreading far and wide, Where hundreds labor to support A haughty lordling's pride: I've seen yon weary winter sun Twice forty times return; And every time has added proof, That man was made to mourn.
O man! while in thy early years, How prodigal of time! Mispending all thy precious hours, Thy glorious youthful prime! Alternate follies take the sway; Licentious passions burn; With tenfold force give nature's law, That man was made to mourn.
Look not alone on youthful prime, Or manhoods active might; Man then is useful to his kind, Supported is his right; But see him on the edge of life, With cares and sorrows worn; Then age and want, O! ill-matched pair! Show man was made to mourn.
A few seem favorites of fate, In pleasures lap care's'd; Yet think not all the rich and great, Are likewise truly blest. But O! what crowds in every land, All wretched and forlorn, Through weary life, this lesson learn, That man was made to mourn.
Many, and sharp the num'rous ills, Inwoven with our frame! More pointed still, we make ourselves, Regret, remorse and shame! And man, whose heaven erected face The smiles of love adorn, Man's inhumanity to man, Makes countless thousands mourn.
See yonder, poor o'er labor'd wight, So abject, mean and vile, Who begs a brother of the earth To give him leave to toil; And see his lordly fellow worm The poor petition spurn, Unmindful, though a weeping wife, And helpless orphans mourn!
If I'm design'd yon lordling's slave, By nature's law design'd, Why was an independent will, E'er planted in my mind? If not, why am I subject to His cruelty and scorn? Or, why has man the will & power, To make his fellow mourn.
Yet, let not this too much, my son, Disturb thy youthful breast; This partial view of human kind, Is, surely, not the LAST! The poor, oppressed, honest man, Had never, sure, been born, Had there not been some recompense, To comfort those that mourn.
O Death! The poor man's dearest friend, The kindest and the best! Welcome the hour my aged limbs Are laid with thee, to rest! The great, the wealthy, fear thy blow, From pomp and pleasure torn; But, O! a blest relief to those That, weary-laden, mourn.
WITCHCRAFT.
A VIRGINIA ANECDOTE.
About the year 1727, when the back settlers of this country were as proverbial for their prejudices as ever the first settlers of Plymouth were, an old woman about 120 miles from Richmond, on James river, was so unfortunate as to have a sow litter a pig with two tails. This circumstance soon overran the settlement. A general alarm was spread; and the parson of the Parish was resorted to by the affrighted people to account for this wonderful phenomenon. The sage divine, after duly considering the affair, declared, that as all pigs by nature were endowed with but one tail, it was probable that the devil was officious in the generation of this litter, and as he cannot make anything perfect, these two tails were left as a mark of his imperfection. The parson further observed, that as other neighbours had sows, on whom the evil spirit might have tried his operations, his partiality for this old woman was a proof that she must have a connection with him, and that she could be nothing less than a witch. The poor woman was immediately apprehended, and it was determined to tie her up in a sack and throw her into the river, when if she floated she was a witch, and must be hung; if she sunk then she was innocent. A vast concourse of people assembled on the banks to see the operation; and while the church wardens were absolutely engaged in drawing the bag over her, a col. Taylor, who was lately arrived from Ireland, hit on the following stratagem to save her:
"By my soul (said he to the wardens) "ye are all wrong; you know nothing of witches; now in Ireland, we have found out a much surer way without half the trouble: the people were anxious to hear the Irish method: "why (says the colonel) my jewels, we put the woman in one scale and the big church bible in the other: if the bible outweighs the woman, she is a witch, and must be burnt; but if the woman is the heaviest, she is no witch by my soul." The col's method was approved of; the trial made; and thus the life of a woman preserved, who, but for col. Taylor's stratagem, must have fallen a sacrifice to the ignorance and prejudices of an illiterate people.
