PARIS, June 23.
Our privateers continue to bring in many rich prizes. The Republican lugger le Courageux, captured at the entrance of the Sound, nine English merchantmen, laden with grain, timber &c. The privateer, Cers-Volant, took four prizes, laden with the same articles, in the North Sea.
The following is a remarkable instance of bravery in the history of privateersmen, and gave rise to a message of the directory.
Capt. Surcouf failed from the north-west port of the island of France, to take in a load of timber at the Scelches-Islands; but two large English ships whom he met with, obliged him to change his course. He now projected to take in a cargo of rice on the coast of India. In his passage he fell in with three English ships laden with that article, and captured all three, and a Schooner that attended them. Finding the Schooner a fast sailer, Surcouf went with his crew on board, and sent his own vessel with the three prizes to the Isle of France. He soon after discovered a large three masted ship, carrying off the English ship from which he found it impossible to escape by flight. He had but 19 men and three swivels on board; the engagement began, the English East-India ship, Triton, carrying 28 twelve pounders, manned with 150 Europeans, and armed with muskets, pistols & cutlasses, was boarded; ten Englishmen were killed, and five wounded. Capt. Surcouf had but one killed and two wounded. The said captain not having been provided with a commission, the tribunal of the Isle de France, adjudicated the prizes to the French Republic. The captain claims the restitution. The laws are silent on the subject; many decisions in former wars speak in favor of the captain. The Directory therefore consulted the council of five Hundred on that subject.
HAMBURG, July 4.
It is confidently asserted to be the firm resolution of the directory, to enter the hereditary dominions of his Britannic majesty in the preliminary articles which shall be proposed at Lisle, as accepted by the English plenipotentiaries. The plan is said to be the following:—Gen. Hoche, who is gone to Paris to receive his final instructions, is to make a descent with the army collected in the environs of Dunkirk, upon England or Ireland; and general Lefebvre, with a division of the army of the North, and two divisions of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, is to pass the line of demarcation, yet to respect the neutrality in every other place, and penetrate to Hanover. The Dutch squadron, consisting of 71 sail, with 1200 artillerymen, and 20,000 stand of arms on board, besides a large quantity of military stores is to block up the mouths of the river Elbe and Weser. All the troops collecting along the coast of the Texel are embarked in flat-bottomed boats, and will pass through the Wat to the Elbe, to avoid falling in with admiral Duncan's fleet. It is this day reported, that they have actually sailed.
LONDON, July 11.
LA FAYETTE.
A private letter received yesterday by the Hamburgh mails, contains the following particulars respecting the situation of the Marquis La Fayette at Olmutz, and is extracted from an official report of the governor of that fortress:—
“La Fayette and his family, occupy the ground floor of the house which looks into the fields, and where they occupy three different apartments. Every one of their servants has a room to himself. Their apartments, raised above the fortifications, enjoy the purest air, and have large windows, 13 feet high. They are fitted up according to the choice of their occupiers, and furnished in the most decent manner. La Fayette and his family get whatever breakfast they choose, five dishes & a desert at dinner; a dishes at supper; Hungarian wine, &c. All the cloaths and linen the marquis demands he is furnished with, without the least objection. The apartments are cleaned and aired with the utmost care. They are attended by their own servants, enjoy a good share of health, receive all the books they desire, and are allowed to correspond with their friends and relations.”
fire, and are allowed to correspond with their friends and relations.”
JAMAICA, July 15.
Quito, 6th February, 1797.
Some accounts of the dreadful effects of the earthquake of Quito and its neighbourhood, on the 4th instant.
This dreadful calamity began at Quito, at half past 7, A. M. and lasted from the best calculation, upwards of three minutes. The elegant college of St. Ferdinando is in ruin. The large edifice of St. Domingo is considerably damaged; the grand tower was broke into many pieces, and a number of the cells entirely destroyed—the students school is in the ruins—the high church of Del Carmen one of the most elegant fabrics in the place, is totally demolished. The tower of La Merced is nearly in the same state; it has been ordered to be pulled down. The church de la Concepcion has suffered considerable damage; indeed all the best buildings of the place are destroyed. None of the low buildings have received any damage.
At Facunga the earthquake began some time past seven o'clock, A. M. and the agitation of the earth continued until two o'clock, P. M. leaving the village entirely in ruins, not a building being left standing, except an arch in the great square, and a part of a neighbouring house.
The people who have perished are innumerable; the churches of St. Augustin, Santo Domingo, and la Merced, were crowded with people hearing mass, not one of whom were saved. The whole place opened into gullies, out of which large quantities of water issued. Don Francisco Camacho was swallowed up, and no account has been received of Don Antonio Tocado, who was with him.
The village of St. Philip, which is near to Facunga, is swallowed up; in this place, here was a school with upwards of forty children who have suffered the same fate.
There are different reports respecting the village of Anbaro; it is said to be likewise in ruins.
The famous estate of the Marquis de Miraflores, on which was a cloth manufactory, all his houses, & an elegant church, are entirely destroyed, and many lives lost.
Calera, an estate joining the marquis's is swallowed up, and scarcely a vestige of a house to be seen.
Alagues, Saquial, Pugili, Fachuchi and other considerable villages and estates are entirely ruined.
Machache, Aloaci, Amaguana, Aivay, and other villages in the neighbourhood of Facunga, have suffered great damage.—Not a church is left standing in either of these places.
The mountains of Calopaci opened in several parts and issued great quantities of water: a small hill near to the city threw up vast heaps of stones.
This earthquake is said to be much severer than that which happened in the year 1755.
To add to the general consternation at Quito, it was affirmed the next day that an inhabitant of Guayaquil had brought accounts of 14 English ships having arrived there; certain it is, that a person who came thence, passed on to Quinche where the president is.
NEW-LONDON, August 30.
DISCOVERY!
A box of goods, entered as a box of tape, worth 800 dollars, brought by the ship America, capt. Ewing, from Hamburg, arrived at Philadelphia, having been suspected to contain other goods, was opened at the custom house, and was found to contain 800 gold watches, worth near 11,000 dollars, which are of course forfeited.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 6.
From the gazette of the United States of last evening.
A letter from New York, to a gentleman of respectability in this city, mentions, that a brig had arrived there, bringing an account that the Spanish fleet had attacked admiral Jervis, and after fighting three days and three nights, had been totally defeated—losing 7 sail of the line sunk, besides others taken. Many particulars are wanting in the above information; but it is thought a duty to lay it before the public; though it may prove a bubble, no circumstances at present exist to render a similar occurrence improbable.
A florin in circulation (from London) that Santhonax, the French St. Domingo commissioner, had sometime since employed
emissaries to set fire to the populous towns and capitals of the United States, which they had in part effected, returned, and received their reward, and were sent out again on the same errand.—The letter it seems is from a Mr. Morris (alias Mr. Somebody) to the British ministry; which James Mr. Somebody said he was at St. Domingo in the confidence of Santhonax. Mr. King is added has been furnished with the letter by one of the ministry. It is more than probable that this is one of the many various arts that have been made use of to render the French and their cause odious in this country.
N. Y. Time Piece.
DEATH OF BURKE.
The following articles concerning the death of this man, are extracted, one from an English the other from an American Paper. If the American reader was asked to say which was the American article and which the English, he would no doubt conjecture the first was British and the latter American. What must his surprise then be when he is told that the reverse is the case! That surprise, however might justly be when he further learns that the American paper which is thus the fulsome panegyrist of Edmund Burke, that advocate of the divine right of kings and oppressor of the rights of man, is the Gazette of the United States.
An article dated Newcastle, July 25, announces the death of Edmund Burke, the immortal Orator and statesman, — that great man whose vast and irresistible eloquence has so eminently contributed to preserve Great Britain from being overborne by that immense torrent of Gothic barbarism, which has broken down the feeble barriers elsewhere opposed to it, and which in equal desolation and dullness, the iron gladiators Savoy, and the mild, fertile clime of the once fierce and high souled Iberian. All bow beneath the blast, for “the Age of Chivalry is gone;” and to “tall down, rosealike with a pine,” is become the fashion of these degenerate times.
“Cold is that tongue whose high wrought eloquence could keep alive in one little isle alone, a fire which is now daily extinguishing in the regions round, by the mighty hand of revolution and airds.” Nor did he live to see it put out. The extinction of the martyr a short time before his death, must have shed a benignant gleam over his latest moments; and laid his aged head, consens, in the lap of death.
Sic transit “GLORIA MUNDI.”
Our obituary of this week announces the exit of two remarkable characters: of Edmund Burke, the great but excentric orator and author at one time the redoubted champion of public liberty, and in the evening of this life its venal and determined foe.”
To the Editor of the Aurora.
Sir,
I have just perused Mr. Alexander Hamilton's publication in order to avoid the accusation of speculating on public monies while in the office of the secretary of the Treasury.
From the distressed situation I was in, I was induced to ask the Vice President by letter a loan, and by another letter a certificate of character.—It will be seen by the first answer that it was impossible a loan could be granted.—It will likewise be seen that all he could offer was a partial recommendation to my fellow citizens for employment.—His letters referred to are expressive of his general disposition to all men Charity and Equality.
Being, as will be seen by those letters of Mr. Jefferson, compelled to ask pecuniary loan from a false political imprisonment for near two years, by reason of the bad conduct of others high in office—I was compelled to receive monies of Mr. Hamilton who knew I had those letters, and who in the most solemn of all declarations that could be made assured me the perusal was meant for no other use than to forward a hope I had of being restored to public favor, to which he would aid me.—He has broke this solemn promise, and I now engage having his pamphlet, in a few days to make full and explanatory observations thereon. I have been delicate in my 1st publication, but the knowing by a base attempt endeavoured to injure my benefactor the Vice President, I trust that my fellow citizens will candidly bear and judge.
I am Sir,
Your very humble servant,
Andrew G. Franceses,
Late a clerk in the office of Mr. Hamilton, late secretary of the treasury.
General Kosciuszko, we hear, has left the
city on a visit to his friend General Gates, in the state of New York. Before he left town, we understand, a gentleman in office presented him with a land warrant, to which he was entitled by his services, and intimated there was a sum of money due to him, for his services in the cause of this country. We understand it at the General signified, that whilst fortune smiles upon him at home, he has no intention of receiving any pecuniary reward from the United States, but that, in his present circumstances, he should not decline the acceptance of what appeared to be his due. We believe that, with principal and interest, his pay will not amount to less than 18 or 20,000 dollars, as the general entered into the service as colonel of engineers, in October, 1776 and remained till the end of the war. The land warrant, we are told the General presented to a Welch farmer, of the name of Thomas, who was a passenger in the same ship, and of whom he was received a high opinion.
NORFOLK, August 24.
Extract of a letter from Commodore BARNEY to his friend in this town dated Medula at Sea, August 21st, 1797.
“After seven months blockade by the enemy, I have at length escaped their vigilance. The moment they reduced the number of their ships to watch my movements (from twelve eight, six, and until within these few days five ships to two—that is one ship of the line and a frigate) I was determined to push out with my two frigates which I did yesterday, although I saw them both to the southward; the winds were light but we have lost sight of them in the night. So ends a blockade which has cost the enemy upwards of 800,000 dollars, and has been of no real injury to France. I hope soon to give a good account of ourselves;—and was on equal terms with them in point of force, they should have little to boast of.”
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.
E. NETHERLAND.
Take Notice,
THAT on the twenty ninth of October next, I will attend with the Commissioners appointed by the county court of Hardin, on an entry made in the name of John Larue, upon a part of a treasury warrant of six thousand acres, lying on Ohio, opposite to the black oak grove, where John Pen's land is entered; beginning on the under bank, and running up the same, so far as land is found vacant. Then and there to take on oath the depositions of sundry witnesses, to ascertain the special calls of said entry and perpetuate the testimony thereof, and to do such other things on the premises as the said commissioners are authorised and required to do by the act of assembly in that case made and provided. ||

LEXINGTON: Wednesday, September 27, 1797.
Died in this town on Saturday last a negro boy the property of Mr. Thomas, of the bite of a mad dog. He was bitten about two months ago, in the eye brow—the wound healed up and about a week before he died, was seized with a pain in the part where he was bitten, which moved into the eye, and from that into his throat where it continued until his death. No symptoms of a hydrophobia appeared, nor was he much out of his senses.
On Monday evening last M. Laffelard, a French gentleman, raised an AIR BALLOON in this town; it was about ten feet in diameter, it ascended about 6 o'clock in the evening from M. Sanguin's house on High Street, passed over the town and after going about a mile unfortunately took fire and entirely consumed.
I WILL exchange my house and lot, in Lou-ville, for likely young negroes, and approved bonds. R. DICKINSON. Beargrass, Sept. 25, 1797.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE AMUSEMENT OF A YOUNG FOP
GAMING, talking, swearing, drinking, Hunting, shooting, never thinking; Chat'ring nonsense all day long; Humming half a stupid song; Chasing baubles, rings and jewels, Writing verses, fighting duels; Minting words in conversation, Ridiculing half the nation; Admiring their own pretty faces, As if possess'd of all the graces, And though not bigger than a rat, Is peeping under each girl's hat.
ANECDOOTE.
Some years since, a sober, zealous, Connecticut parson went to catechize a family in his parish, who were not so well versed in the rudiments of divinity as many are: when arrived, he thought proper to begin with Lois, the eldest daughter, a girl about 18, and as buxom as May—whose charms had smitten the village swains with an epidemic. "Well Lois" said the parson, "come tell me who died for you?"—Lois, with a charming flush in her cheek replied—"Why nobody as I know on."—The parson, rather surprised at the answer, repeated his question with encreasing zeal.—Lois rather irritated at the inquisitive parson, again replied "Why nobody, Sir—there was Tom Dawson lay bed rid for me about six months, but folks say he got about again."
