The letter from earl Balcarras, mentioning the entire suppression of the Maroons, relates the hardships the troops underwent, and states that in following the enemy into the recesses, the last column were five days without one drop of water, except what were found in the wild pines.
Mr. Fox concludes an address to the electors of Westminster, as follows:—“That I have opposed a war, unjust in its principles and ruinous in its consequences; that I have endeavored to prevent innovations upon the constitution, which tends to annihilate the rights of the people; that I have labored to preserve entire, the security which we formerly enjoyed under the law of treason, as established by the statute of Edward the third; that I have resisted the repeal of the bill of rights, in its most essential clauses, will be a consolation to me, to the last moment of my life.
“That my efforts in this glorious cause have in common with those of abler men, been ineffectual, I most sincerely lament; but I trust my character whatever it may be will not suffer either in your judgment, or in that of posterity, on account of my name being seldom, if ever found among the majorities of a Parliament remarkable for having added more to the burthens and taken away more from the rights of the subjects than any Parliament recorded in the annals of our history.”

Copy of a letter from the French Minister, published at Strasburg, May 28.
I receive at this moment, from the diplomatic committee, the happy news sent by the Dutch Consul at Lisbon. The division under the command of admiral Lucas, which had already captured two English vessels, loaded with wine, has taken off the Azores, 27 English vessels, of which 11 belonged to the India company, which are ordered to make for the nearest American port.—The fleet continues its course towards the East Indies.

NEW-YORK, August 4.
Capt. M'Call sailed from Leghorn, on the 10th may last, and was boarded, three leagues to the west-ward of the Road by two French privateers, one Ronde-nelle, Marcells, master; the other Temeraire, Pigo, master; the first plundered the vessel, but more particularly a passenger on board, they took all his trunks, bed and bedcloaths, and cash to a considerable amount, and left him only the shirt and what cloaths he had on at
the time. This was done within long gun shot of two English frigates, one 40 gun ship and two sloops of war. An English brig called the Mideteranean, that sailed in company with capt. M'Call, and at the same time, they manned a Swedish brig from Bolton, bound to Leghorn, called the Gustavus; they carried both vessels into the gulph of Espeia, where captain M'Call was detained until he sent an express to the American consul at Leghorn. He was cleared on the 18th, as also the Swedish brig. The same evening capt. M'Call failed, and on the 20th, was boarded by another French privateer's boat, with 20 men; they broke down the brig's bulk-head to get into the hold, broke open several packages of the cargo, on pretence to look for papers, and did considerable damage, towards night they left the brig, and told the captain he might sail and steer his course.
June 5th capt. M'Call, was boarded by a Galliot belonging to the French Republic, called the Liberty, from Algiers, bound to Carthagena, day before she had taken 2 English vessels, one of 700 tons, & the other 2, loaded with wheat, bound to London; the officer that came on board, told capt. M'Call, the American prisoners were in a miserable situation, and expected to be treated worse, if their ransom and the treaty money, was not paid by November.
The Algerines had taken 17 sail of Danish merchant-men, and all in Algiers when the capt. of the Liberty failed.
BOSTON, August 3.
West-India Intelligence.
By an arrival yesterday from Cape-Nicholas-Mole, we learn, that the Quebeck, and another frigate arrived there on the 15th July. They sailed from Barbadoes with five large transport ships, with troops and military stores, under their convoy, bound to the mole; but off Cape Francois they were chased by three French 74 gun ships, and were obliged to leave their convoy to the French, who took them all and carried them into the Mole.—The sickness at the Mole, exceeds very greatly its usual mortality; from 50 to 60 dying daily. All expectation of the reduction of the islands is despaired of, and even an attack from the Brigands is apprehended both at the Mole and Port-au-Prince. The British troops had evacuated Bombard, and returned to the Mole. Both the taking and holding this place, even for the short time they held it, was attended with great loss to the English.—There were no pressing of Americans while our informant was at the Mole; but he saw several instances of their treating them with much respect and civility. There is no sale for American produce.
FAIRHAVEN, July 15.
Most papers pronounce the highest appearance of plentiful crops of grain and hay.
At no time since the settlement of this country, has the earth borne so rich a burthen in these parts. Indian corn has a promising aspect. Grass and wheat were never better. The great price wheat has sold at since the last harvest, induced every farmer to lay about him, and sow as much wheat as possible. In many towns the zeal ran so high, that there were more than twice the number of acres sowed, that ever were at any time before.

SALEM, August 5.
From the Cape of Good Hope. Yesterday morning arrived from thence, Capt. Jonathan Lambert, jun. via St. Helena—Late accounts at the Cape, confirm the capture of Ceylon, and it was expected by the British, that they should soon have possession of Batavia, and all the Spice Islands—doubts arose in many minds with respect to Batavia. About the 23d of April the Caristord frigate arrived in 53 days from England, she brought credentials, constituting Gen. Craig governor, &c. of the Colony, which he is well assured extends East to the Western part of Dalagao Bay, in long. 31, 10, East—North, to Cape Negae, in lat. 16, 2 South,—so that our Fisheries are deprived of that plentiful supply of Oil, which may be and is yearly taken in Walwick and St. Helena bays. A considerable Land Force was expected out every day at the Cape—to keep the farmers in awe is one object of it, as they are deemed a mutinous set of men, who are continually raising insurrections for evil purposes, &c. Arrived at St. Helena the 16th May, and soon after anchoring was treated with ceremony to a light of the commodore Ellison. On the 1st of June, Capt. Ellison, of the Standard, as Commodore, with 23 India and China ships, two Whalers, and the ship America, Capt. Woolward, from Bourbon, who put in leaky, sailed for Europe—48 hours after Capt. Lambert was permitted to sail.
Extract of a letter from London-derry, dated the 1st May.
“I never knew more people going to America than there are this year. We have had very troublesome times with Defenders and Peep O’day boys: but during the circuit many have been hung, and the country is at present quiet.—About Armagh people dare not stir out after dark, and patrols are kept about their houses and bleach greens. No Roman Catholics now keep a gun except he have a freehold of ten pounds per annum, or 300 pounds in cash, which has in a manner totally deprived them of this privilege.—Every man must register his arms at the quarter sessions, and if any magistrate chuses after this day to search the house of any man, he may do it, and fine every man ten pounds with whom a gun is found.—This is a hard law.”
NEW-YORK, August 8.
Extract of a letter from a respectable American in London to a gentleman in this city.
London, May 16, 1796.
“Every information from the United States is exceedingly interesting at all times—but peculiarly so when our national affairs are in so critical a posture as they were at the date of the latest accounts from America. I had occasion to call on Mr.—, this morning and from him received intelligence of so late a date from Philadelphia as the 17th April. Congress were then it seems engaged in debating the resolution laid on the table by Mr. M’Clay. It cannot be that the House of Representatives would be so mad, as to adopt such a resolution, it is impossible they would expose us to the horrors of war when we are on the eve of settling all differences with Great Britain amicably.”
“The decisions of the Lords of appeal have of late been as favorable as we could expect, they have reversed several sentences of condemnation grounded on the orders of the 6th Nov. 1793, they have determined to restore all property seized and condemned by virtue of those orders if not otherwise liable to condemnation.”
“Doctor Nicholl has been named as one, and I hear a Mr. Atley is the other, of the commissioners under the treaty on the part of this country. A better or fitter man could not have been selected than the former; and so far as I know,
the latter may be an equally suitable man.”
Captain Lovet, of the schooner Charham, arrived at N. Y. from Leogane, informs, that on the 15th of July, two of his Britannic Majesty’s schooners, (viz. the Sam of six-pounders, and the Harriot of 10 six-pounders) were captured in sight of Leogane, and carried in there by five small French barges, three of which mounted one gun each, and the other two had two swivels. After an engagement of an hour at long shot, the barges boarded the schooners with the loss of but one man killed and two wounded. The above schooners were fitted out at Port-au-Prince for the purpose of securing the coasts.
When the sans-colottes boarded the Sam the brave British officers retreated to their cabins singing Vive la république!
PHILADELPHIA, August 10.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Gibraltar, to his friend in N. York, dated May 30, 1796.
“Notwithstanding the superiority of the English in these seas, there are 10 Republican privateers out of Toulon, Marseilles, &c. who have taken within this present month 47 English vessels, viz. 14 ships, and 33 snows and brigs, all of which (except four) have arrived safe.”
Three of the above privateers boarded capt. M’Call, from Leghorn and Gibraltar.
Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, 20th Floréal, 9th May.
A capt. of a privateer named the Adventure, arrived from Cayenne, relates the following circumstance. The negroes of the city and country stirred up by some wretches had agreed to murder nearly all the whites on Friday:—the day was not however definitely fixed, but might be postponed or delayed according to circumstances. Those of the city were to make themselves masters of the fort, and inform the others of that event, by firing 13 cannon.
The privateer Adventure, arrived at Cayenne, the Wednesday before, and saluted the fort with 9 cannon—The fort answered it with three, and they replied with 1—the whole making the number 13. The negroes, deceived by 12 cannon, which they took for the signal agreed upon, ran in crowds to the city armed with all sorts of iron utensils they could procure. They were however vigorously repulsed by the garrison, the inhabitants, and crew of the privateer. The negro chiefs have acknowledged the plot, but the white chiefs treat it as a chimera, waiting a better opportunity. This happened in Nivos last.
Arrived on Monday the ship General Washington Captain Price from Cadiz, which place he left the 23d of June. On the 26th was brought to by a ship of 18 guns, which proved to be a Moorish cruiser. They examined the ship, and after two hours detention taking a few articles and compelling Captain Price to sign a declaration of having received no injury, suffered him to proceed. His mare was on board the Moor when he saw Captain Prentice, and the crew of the brig Emmiline of Boston taken 14 days before. He was informed that two frigates were cruising to westward and had taken 14 American and British vessels. It appears to Capt. Price, that they took none but such as were loaded with grain.
BALTIMORE, August 2.
Captain Richard Flinn of the brig Triton lying in the port of Leogane, has sent the following advertisement for publication, and requests that it should appear in every paper in the United States. Be it known throughout the United States, that William Camp, seaman, on board the brig Triton of Philadelphia, and a native of
New-Jersey, (as he has sworn, by a certificate signed by Clement Biddle, esq. of Philadelphia) has informed the officers of the privateers fitted out at Leogane that Richard Flinn, master of the said brig, had taken goods on board said vessel at Cape Nicholas Mole, and that part of the cargo was British property and owned by a French emigrant. In consequence of which the said brig was detained for trial, and the said Richard Flinn denied access to her although it fully appeared by the vessel’s papers that the whole of the cargo on board was truly and bona fide American property, and consigned to said master, who is a citizen of the United States, and the vessel has been plundered of part of her cargo, without condemnation.
Dated Leogane, 13th July 1796. RICHARD FLINN.
We whose names are hereunto subscribed, do certify and declare that full faith and credit is due (in our opinion) to the above declaration.
William Smale, George Revell, James Phillips, T. S. Hodgkin.
We learn by capt. Smith, of the Polly, who arrived a few days since, in 11 days from the Mole, that 5 British transports, under convoy of the Quebec frigate, were captured on the 12th ult. by the French. The convoy was bound from one of the windward islands to the Mole, but passing down by Cape François, some of the ships of war lying in that harbor slipped out and conducted them into port—the Quebec made a very narrow escape into the Mole. We understand that there were on board the transports, 300 troops, 140 brass pieces and 40,000 sterling.
By the same channel we likewise learn, that four deputies from the Spanish inhabitants of St. Domingo had arrived at the Mole, requesting the protection of the British.
NORFOLK, July 30.
Yest. arrived here the schooner Flying Fish, capt. Allison 19 days from Antigua. The day he failed capt. Colhoun of the brig Cornplanter, arrived there from Guadaloupe, where his vessel had been carried in, and vessel and cargo condemned; there had been several vessels taken into Guadaloupe, & condemned in the same manner.—The Cornplanter was on her homeward passage from Demerara, when captured by a French privateer.
Extract of a letter from Wilmington, N. C. to a gentleman in this town, dated July 18.
“A small French privateer has carried into Cape Fear River a ship and brig, belonging to the Jamaica fleet. They are not admitted to an entry—they are loaded with sugar and rum, and are estimated at 150,000 dollars value.”
Lexington, September 3.
* * ROBERT CLARK jun. of Clarke county, offers his services for an ELECTOR, in the ensuing Election for PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
The Executive Directory of France have caused a beautiful white horse to be presented to General Bonaparte, commander in chief of the French army in Italy.
A Lancaster paper of August 4, says, “The celebrated Lachaize, so well known in the diatribe of St. Domingo, as well as in America, under the orders of Genet, after staying a few days in Lancaster, on Wednesday morning last took his departure for Kentucky.”
“He has been lately promoted to the rank of lieutenant general in the French service, and it is said, has arrived in this country on a secret mission. He informs, that when he left Paris, (which must have been in April last, for he sailed with Sanchoax to the West-Indies,) the Directory and the Spanish Ambassador were negotiating on an exchange of the Spanish part of St. Domingo, for Louisiana.”
OPERATIONS OF THE REPUBLICAN ARMIES ON THE RHINE.
At the date of our last accounts the Austrians had been defeated in two engagements, on the Seig and at Aldenkirchen;—the arch-duke Charles resolved to fall back behind the river Mein, and abandon all the north of Germany to the republicans;—the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein has already been surrounded and Mayence as good as blockaded. All this was effected by little more than two-thirds of the left wing of Jourdon’s army that is, by the troops posted from Elberfeld to the mouth of the Whippel, and from Cologne to Coblenz.
As Gen. Kleber advanced towards the river Mein, the republican troops stationed on the left bank of the Rhine, will cross the latter river, and follow the victorious advanced guard into the heart of the German Empire. The 3000 men quartered between Cologne and Coblenz, had already crossed the Rhine at Bonne and Nieuwied; the 30,000 republicans posted between Coblenz and Bingen will have crossed the Rhine at Caub, between Bingen and Rhinefels; the greatest part of the centre of the republican army, composed of 90,000 men and led on by Jourdon and Marceau, will follow the same road; the intrepid Moreau, at the head of 80,000 men, will force the passage of the Rhine above Mannheim, near Kehl, and by this manoeuvre he will bring the Austrians between two fires. The republican army assembled in the vicinity of Basle, will attempt to invade Suabia, by crossing the Rhine under the cannon of the fortress of Huningen; and the important result of all these operations will be peace with the German Empire and the Emperor on the terms dictated by the French republic.
ARMY OF ITALY.
The republicans, by taking Mantua, had, completed the conquest of Italy:—By the capture of the fortress of Pischiera, they have secured the possession of their conquests and opened a road into the compact part of the emperor’s dominions. The French advanced guard had already entered Tyrol, and the army was within two days march of Trent which is one of the capitals of that province.
What is the much boasted power of Great Britain? Has their mighty fleet been able to protect a single village on the sea-coast of their devoted friends? If England does not escape the avenging arm of the French republic by an immediate supplication for peace, the issue of the conflict between her mercenaries and the defenders of the rights of man, will prove that her swimming fortresses are as defective in procuring protection to her own coasts, as they were incapable to save the King of Sardinia and Naples, or to support the Emperor on the Rhine.

NOTICE.
ALL persons having demands against John May deceased, either for money due to them, or for contracts payable in lands, are requested to transmit to the subscriber a copy of their demands or contracts. All who are indebted to said John May, either for money due to him, or for contracts for land purchased from him, or for locating lands in the state of Kentucky, are requested to make payment, and to perform their specific contracts immediately. The said deceased has by his last will and testament, subjected his lands to the payment of his debts, and the subscriber will make it the first object of his administration to provide for the same, with as much dispatch as the nature and circumstances of the estate will admit of. And whereas the said John May met with a premature death by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information perished with him, it is probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country, and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentle men acquainted with the concerns of the deceased, may think proper to make.
I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal my agent in Kentucky to receive and forward all communications in that state, alluded to above. As the want of a legal representative since the death of Mr. May, has obstructed all operations relative to his transactions and no doubt to the injury of many, I now intreat that all persons concerned may bring forward their business immediately.
