NEW-YORK, Sept. 19.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Tennessee, to his friend in Springfield, dated Aug. 18, 1800.
"You will be pleased, to be informed with what promptness the Indians in the neighbourhood of this Government fulfil their treaties with the United States.—There has been three of the white people murdered by the Indians: this information was communicated to their chief; they immediately sent express to the different parts of the nation, to ascertain who the murderers were, One was soon taken up and delivered over to the white people; he was tried by a Tennessee Court, found guilty and condemned; he was executed the next day.
The other two murderers had armed themselves and fled to the mountains—Fifty Indians, armed and headed by two chiefs, pursued, came up with and shot them. A council of Chiefs gave this information to our Agent, and at the same time stated that eight persons of their nation had been killed by the white people, for whom they have never had satisfaction, nor did they expect it, but they hoped that in future civilized people would be as punctual in performing their promise as Indians.
"Electioneering for Electors runs very high here; I think there is little doubt that we shall be able to choose two men who will give their votes for Mr. Adams."
BOSTON, Sept. 26.
Extract of a letter from a Lady who sailed from Boston, in the Packet, Capt. Trott, dated at Liverpool.
"You know it was our intention to have our little G— inoculated for the small pox before we carried him up to London, but we have had him inoculated for the Cow-pox, as we found no one now inoculates for the small pox, as the Cow-pox is found to prevent the other entirely, and is now established throughout England, and will soon be established all over Europe, and I hope America too. Our little boy is now in the ninth day of the disease and is scarcely sick at all."
FEDERALISM OF N. CAROLINA
By late accounts from N. C. we observe with great satisfaction, the increasing progress of federalism in that respectable State. In the district of Salisbury, Mr. Henderson, one of the federal Candidates had 1970, and Mr. Matthews the other federal Candidate, 1172 votes. Mr. Locke, the only jacobin Candidate had but 867. This shews the happy increase of the influence of truth and reflects much honor on the patriotism and active spirit of the enlightened federal citizens of that District.
It appears that the number of Constitutions framed by the Abbe Sieyes, amounted to 365; he had one for a rainy day, another for a fair one, and several for the dog days, all calculated for the meridian of Paris.
STATE OF HEALTH.
Deaths at Baltimore, for four days preceding the 17th inst. Fell's Point, Adults 50 Children 7 Hospital, 17 0 Old Town, 3 0 West side Jones' Fall's, 2 5 Whole number sick in the Hospital on the morning of the 17th, 71.
Extract of a letter from Norfolk, of Sept. 10.
"We have the pleasure to state, that the fever lately existing, has almost disappeared. The deaths have not, for the last four days, exceeded ten in that time, and two of those not of the fever. We remove this week to our former situation, being ourselves persuaded, that no further cause of alarm exists."
On the 19th inst. was towed into Portland, a small Schooner of about 20 tons. She was taken up at sea, without any person on board; her mainmast carried away Household furniture, with other articles, were found on board. By the papers found in her it appears the captain's name was Northey.

Fresh Foreign News, From Papers brought by the Friend-ship and Galen.
LONDON, AUG. 27. R USSIA and Prussia have concluded a new treaty of alliance. The British Lord Proby has been taken prisoner by the French in Germany. He was urged by curiosity to cross their lines.
Gen. Moreau is called to Paris. The army at Amiens, which is to accomplish the "vast projects" of Bonaparte, is to be increased to 60,000 men.
There is additional reason to believe Kleber has been killed in Egypt. General Rola succeeds him as Commander in Chief.
The Chevalier Blasie de Orosko, appointed by the Court of Spain Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, took leave of the Cis-Alpine Republic July 27, with a set speech.
Some commotions have occurred at Naples, and 400 persons have been arrested.
An attempt has been made to set fire to the Palace of Vienna. The incendiary has been arrested.
It is thought Martial Law will soon be revoked in Ireland.
Capt. Dexter of the American ship Nancy, from Mogadore, informs that the plague is no where in Morocco, except Tangier and Tetuan.
The Porte has refused to receive a Minister from the Court of Spain, until a general peace.
Moreau has imposed a contribution of 6,000,000 liv. on Franconia. Moreau has already sent 6 waggons of specie to France.
Gen. Brune has succeeded Gen. Massena as commander of the army of Italy.
Some disturbances exist in Sweden—the nobility being offended at some reforms.
Moreau requires 400,000 livres of Ratisbon, under pain of military execution.
The French have taken possession of Belaro on the Adriatic sea.
COPENHAGEN, AUG. 9. The news which was received here on the 7th, of the Danish frigate Freyja being carried by force into an English port, has caused no less sensation among the merchants than among the public at large. It is not yet known in what manner our Government will consider this affair; but it has been remarked, that the Cabinet Courier, Lieut. Glaf, has received orders to hold himself in readiness to depart for London this evening with dispatches; and a swift-sailing sloop is ready to sail with Captain Lieut. Littenfeld, who is going to Peterburgh. Major Von Mecklenburg, of the Engineers, also set off yesterday in a hurry to inspect the fort of Cronenburg. The Secretary of State, Count de Bernstorff, has had this day a conference with the Russian, and afterwards with the English Minister. We hope, however, that the affair will have a favourable issue, especially as we hear that Lord Whitworth is on his way hither.
NAPLES, JULY 19. The most important changes have taken place here. The ancient Constitution of Naples has been completely annihilated, and replaced by an order of things similar to that which has for some time existed in Italy. There is nothing now that can be opposed as a barrier to the encroachments of arbitrary power. There is to be a Conservative Tribunal, which is chiefly to be employed in forming a golden book, to contain the names of those who may be esteemed worthy of being Nobles. Those whose names may not be registered in it, will not henceforward be considered as Nobles. The Marquis del Vasto is to be declared the first Nobleman of the kingdom. The same Tribunal is also to form a silver book, in which the names of Nobility of the second class, and of the superior Gentry, are to be inscribed. It will hold its sittings annually, for the purpose of inscribing new Members, or for erasing the names of those who may be disagreeable to the Court.
All the noble families which have been prosecuted for revolutionary principles will not be admitted into the golden book. The Municipal Body which had existed from time immemorial at Naples, is replaced by a Senate, whose Members, to the number of nine, are appointed by the King. The former institution, though composed of Nobles, maintained the rights of the people, but the Senate will be but an instrument of tyranny.
OF PEACE. VIENNA, AUG. 6. The 3d of this month was fixed for the ratification of the convention concluded with England, June 20. Whether it was ratified or not is a question. The British subsidy is nothing to the annual war expenses, which have amounted to above 60,000,000 florins.
ing to the annual war expenses, which have amounted to above 60,000,000 florins.
HAMBURG, AUG. 12. The Court of Petersburg is very much dissatisfied with the conduct of the French in the Duchy of Wirttemberg. Prussia is not so favorably disposed towards the French as formerly. In fact they appear determined to resist the pampered ambition of France.
Of the affair with Denmark.
HAMBURG, AUG. 15. Every ship passing Altona is now boarded by a Danish Officer. Two days ago an English ship was hailed, and returning an insolent answer, the mate and another person were taken out, and flogged so severely, that the mate's life is despaired of. The merchants at Altona have voluntarily embargoed their vessels, till the present dispute with England is adjusted.
ROME, JULY 28. Bonaparte is treating with the Pope for the restoration of the Catholic Religion to France, and the recall of the exiled Bishops. The College of Cardinals are debating on the application.
PARIS, AUG. 14. The review of troops which marched on the evening of the 12th for the camp between Amiens and Beauvais was conducted in a very brilliant manner. Gen. Murat directed all the evolutions, and the Minister at War addressed the troops in a speech, in the course of which the following sentence was remarked:—"Defenders of your country, the First Consul has vast projects: he trusts that you will execute his orders with courage, and contribute by your valour to the restoration of peace."
AUG. 17. The Russian troops continue to draw nearer to the Austrian frontiers.
Citizen Duroc returned from Vienna yesterday morning, and immediately called upon the First Consul.
AUG. 19. The head-quarters of Bernadotte's army are to be transferred to Breist.
Government are taking measures for the re-establishment of Exchange in the commercial towns where they formerly existed.
LONDON, AUG. 18. It was yesterday reported Admiral Dickson's fleet had blockaded the port of Elsinore, to prevent our trade from the Baltic from being intercepted.
It is reported, that Gen. Kleber has been shot in Egypt by an Arab. The report is founded on a letter from Constantinople; but is very improbable.
The Danish and Swedish ships in the port of Tonningen, have been ordered not to sail until further orders. Several English ships having approached Cronstadt, they were forbidden to come nearer.
AUG. 23. A letter from Elsinore, August 12, says "No doubt is entertained here, that every misunderstanding with England, will be soon adjusted."
The expedition which failed on the 9th had a communication with the channel fleet, and then proceeded. Its object is unknown.
Our new minister at Berlin, has been well-received.
In the letter of Bonaparte to the Portuguese demanding a price for peace, and threatening to march an army thither in case of refusal, is said to observe "You know me well enough to be sure that I never say any thing I do not perform."
Lord Nelson when he returns, will have a command in the Channel fleet. Capt. Trowbridge is captain of that fleet.
AUG. 25. We have reason to think our Ministers are in possession of the answer which Duroc carried from Vienna.
Well-informed persons at Petersburg say, if satisfaction is given by Austria for the affair at Ancona, a reconciliation may take place between Russia, Great-Britain and Germany.
The troops under Gen. Abercrombie, failed from Minorca about the middle of July. Destination unknown.
It is mentioned in private letters from Paris, that great changes are in agitation amongst the Ministers of the Chief Consul. The object appears principally to be the dismissal of those who belonged to the old Jacobin party.
AUG. 26. A letter from Copenhagen of the 16th, states, that Lord Whitworth and Count Bernstorff, have had frequent conferences; and it is supposed the negotiations will be satisfactorily terminated. The Danes are getting ready their ships of war, and there has been a general press of seamen.
The French Minister Burgoing was proceeding to Copenhagen to counteract the British negotiation.
On the return of Gen. Duroc to Paris, the French funds fell 5 pr. cent. Although no fact is exhibited to justify it. Some conceive the fall was not particularly owing to his return.
justify it. Some conceive the fall was not particularly owing to his return.
AUG. 27. Government have dispatches from Vienna to the 15th. The renewal of hostilities is not indicated, although the French agent had returned from Vienna to Paris. It is therefore, probable, that he returned with some overtures for mollifying the first propositions of Bonaparte.
The answer of our Cabinet, when Bonaparte's overtures were communicated to the Emperor, was not unfavourable to a general peace. That answer has been sent to Bonaparte by the Court of Vienna; and our Minister has given government an account of its reception. And it is currently reported, that a direct intercourse has taken place between this country and France, on the subject of a general pacification. An express from Paris arrived yesterday morning. We know that no overtures for a just, solid and permanent peace will be refused by his Majesty's Council. The funds have risen here in consequence of the reports we mention. Paris Papers to the 24th are silent as to any Negotiations.
HARTFORD, Sept. 29. An armed French merchant vessel, the sch. Peggy, captured by Capt. Jewett, of the U. States Ship of war Trumbull, lately brought into New-London and libelled before the District Court, was by the Judge of the district acquitted. On an appeal taken to the Circuit Court, and after a very full hearing the decree of the District Court was reversed and the Peggy declared a lawful prize to the U. States and the captors.
The decisions of the several causes that were tried during the session, manifested the learning and candour which so eminently adorn the venerable Judge who presided in the Court.
BOSTON, October 3. The American Envoys were at Paris, on the 12th of Aug. and the last report in London, previous to the Galen's departure, was that the Negotiation was renewed; and it was so far believed, as to have affected the premiums for insurance on American vessels.
The probability of peace between France and Austria continues, although the preliminary arrangements have experienced some difficulties, and were not, at the last dates, ratified. The new Russian army, causes fears and hopes among all the belligerent powers. A new "Army of England" appears to be forming in France; and great exertions are making to improve the Navy.
The English and Danes have not yet compromised their differences. An English Minister is exerting himself to that purpose at Copenhagen, and a strong English fleet is off Elsinore in readiness to operate, if the Court of Denmark should appear disposed to hostilities. A French Minister is employing his influence against Great Britain.
Capt. Thompson arrived at Philadelphia from Lisbon, confirms our news of the demands made by Bonaparte on the Court of Portugal, and accompanying menaces, and adds, that the Portuguese Government were about to return a categorical answer.
We have a report from N. York, of the capture of Curraoa, by a French force from Guadalupe, after a bloody conflict; that the U. S. brig Pickering was there, and assisted in defending the place, as did the Americans on shore; and that after the conquest every American was massacred. This news appears to have been brought from Martinique; which is several degrees to windward of Curraoa; and therefore not likely to furnish the latest information respecting the Dutch island. We give no credit to the report.
[LATER.] From the New-York Daily Advertiser, Sept. 29.
The information relative to the massacre of the Americans at Curraoa by the French, as stated in a morning paper of Saturday, was received by the British sch. Alexander, Capt. Hastings. We have endeavoured to list the business, which is stated in these words by Capt. H.
"On the 2d Sept. a French privateer failed from Guadalupe, and captured an American vessel, on board of which she put a prize master and crew, and ordered her for that port. She was afterwards recaptured by the British sloop of war Tamar, and sent for Port Royal, Martinique, where she arrived on the 6th. On board of this vessel, (then in possession of the French prize master) were found some French Newspapers, printed in Guadalupe, which stated that the expedition which had failed from that port against Curraoa, had succeeded, and that the Americans who had assisted the Dutch, were all massacred. This the French prize
master on examination before the authority, attested to as matter of fact."
A French Prize acquitted in the District Court of Connecticut, has been condemned in the Circuit Court. U. S. Sch. Experiment has captured a French letter of marque sch. of 6 guns and 40 men, after an action of 80 minutes. She was from Guadalupe. The ship Connecticut has taken a French lugger.
Regulations have been lately made at Batavia, which oblige all vessels to take certain quantities of sugar.
There have been about twenty executions already in Virginia, in consequence of the late negro insurrection.
Detachments of Militia are ordered out in Virginia, as a precautionary measure.
A troop of cavalry belonging to the U. S. has been ordered from Harper's Ferry to Richmond.
The rising of the blacks in Virginia is charged to the writings of Callender, circulated by two Frenchmen. Callender, however, it is said, asserts, that this insurrection is beyond his intentions.
Last week a mob at Lewistown, in the District of Maine, attacked the house of a Mr. Purington, in order to seize a Col. Little who lodged there, but who fortunately made his escape. A mob at Monmouth lately assembled, and threatened the person of a Deputy Sheriff, who was there in the discharge of his duty.
Messrs. PRINTERS, AS the case of the Pigou, lately restored in France, has been published with éclat and much relied on, it may be useful to publish the enclosed previous document to accompany it. This and other information you will find in the following extracts:
Yours, A. B. Extracts from a Letter, dated London, August 11, 1800.
"By the enclosed newspapers, which I believe to be correct, you will learn the present state of our affairs with France."
"It is agreeable to information given me lately by an American from Paris. The French Government will not probably relax until the election of President be made—with Jefferson they perhaps expect to make their own terms. Our flag in the mean time may be respected—it will aid their views."
"This American relates some extraordinary instances of corruption at Paris, with which he was personally acquainted. You may do almost anything with money. Bribe the ministers or owners of privateers as you please. Fifty thousand Livres to the minister of marine's bureau obtained, perhaps, the restitution of the Pigou. In another instance, an owner of a privateer being paid more than he could have obtained by the condemnation of an American vessel, pursued the rest of the owners to consent to restitution. In all cases it is best to make a compromise with all or some of these rascals; if you will not, and obtain a decree of restitution, they become bankrupts and all is lost. They are more profligate and corrupt in France than ever!"
"The Court of Appeals here, have reversed the sentences of condemnation of two Philadelphia vessels and cargoes bound from Havana to Philadelphia. The proof of property was sufficient, and the Court pronounced the trade to the Spanish Colonies to be legal—not a breach of our neutrality."
"Notwithstanding the many lessons given, some of you will continue to expose your property. A vessel belonging to and bound from Salem to Cadiz has been detained and sent into Plymouth. The Captor pretended that Cadiz was in a state of blockade. It has never been declared so, of course this vessel is not liable on that account to confiscation; but if it should appear that the cargo of this vessel was brought by her from Havanna, the voyage to Cadiz may be considered as the continuation of an illegal voyage, i. e. from a belligerent colony to the mother country."
"Should not the Captors proceed against the vessel and cargo, they will raise these difficulties to justify the detention and their demands on us for their expenses."
"The last papers from France brought the repeal of the decree which prohibited the exportation of goods hence to France. Shipments are again making for that country!"
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Sep. 30. Arrived, ship Galen , Capt. Hinckley, from London. She is only 27 days from Land's end, and 29 from the Downs. The Galen has performed her voyage in ninety two days. Aug. 20, spoke a ship 7 days from Elsinore, who informed, that Admiral Dixon had arrived two days before he sailed, with 18 sail of the line, and 5 frigates; that a fleet of 200 sail came out with him, among which were several Americans, in-
cluding the Neptune , of Providence. Very little apprehension of any disturbance when we left Elsinore. Aug. 30, saw a ship off Dungenes supposed to be the Minerva , Barber , from Boston; but did not answer signals, which left a suspicion that it was not her. Aug. 31, passed through a fleet of 60 sail of merchantmen, under convoy of 5 frigates, supposed from the West-Indies. Sept. 5, lat. 48, 25, long. 17, was boarded by the British sloop of war Bittern , from Demerara and Surinam, 15 sail under convoy, who said, that if the English did not have more troops sent them, they would not be able to keep their possessions in that part of the West-Indies. Sept. 11, lat. 46, long. 28, spoke ship Amelia , 28 days from Baltimore, for Amsterdam. Sept. 22, lat. 45, 20, long. 47, spoke ship Hector , of New-York, 20 days from Norfolk, for London. The Galen felt 8 severe gales of wind in 14 days, from S. W. and N. W.

THE subscribers, being authorized to receive proposals for contracts to make the New-Hampshire Turnpike Road from Piscataqua bridge to Concord upper bridge, by Durham-falls, thro' Lee, the two mile streak (so called,) Nottingham, Northwood, Epsom, Manchester and Concord, in or nearly on the way run and mark'd by order of the Directors, with the necessary bridges thereon,—invite every person desirous of contracting for the same, or any part thereof, to come forward with their proposals, which must be in writing and signed, designating by particular marks the way intended to be made, at what sum by the rod or mile, the bridge or bridges to be built, the length of the water courses to be covered with plank, the materials for the abutments or causeways, what sum to be done for, and when to be completed. The said Road must be thrown up and raised with clear earth or gravel, thirty inches high, in the centre, and rounded off in a true curve each way to the middle of the gutter or water course, on the sides of the road, twenty-six feet from centre to centre of the gutters, which must also be regularly slop'd outwards; and have water courses across the road and from the gutters, sufficient to prevent any water's remaining therein. In meadow or swamp land a good foundation must be laid with wood or stone, and covered as aforesaid. And no part of said road will be approved and received until it be sufficiently settled and made even in manner above mentioned. The bridges are to be twenty feet wide and built with piers of our common pine timber, three posts to a pier, placed on a mud sill, twenty feet apart, with five sufficient stringers of timber, to be covered with good three-inch pine plank and railed in a plain substantial manner, with stone abutments where materials can be had. And over any dead or still water, of inconsiderable depth, or flats adjoining running streams, causeways of wood or stone covered with gravel, excepting courses for the water.
NATHAN HAVEN, ISAAC WALDRON, } AGENTS. JONA. STEELE, October 3, 1800.

BOSTON, October 6. A letter from Charleston, S. C. received in this town yesterday, dated the 14th ult. (one day later than the report of an insurrection having taken place there) is perfectly silent upon that subject; it contains the following extract: "We have (unexpedited) good news from Georgia, it is pretty certain Mr. Jefferson will not get the votes from that State, this is not light rumours, but solid information—in this State I am sanguine we shall do justice to the federal cause."
Norfolk, Sept. 21. The ship Nefton , Liverpool, 35 days. By this vessel we learn, that an American frigate had been spoken on the coast, dismissed, supposed to be the President, Capt. Truxton.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Virginia, to his friend in New-York, dated September 21, 1800.
[The editor having compared the Extract with the Original, vouches for its authenticity, and that it is from a source highly respectable.]
"By this time you have, no doubt, heard of the conspiracy formed in this country by the Negroes, which, but for the interposition of Providence, would have put the metropolis of the State, and even the State itself into their possession. A dreadful storm, with a deluge of rain, which carried away the bridges, and rendered the water courses every where impassable, prevented the execution of their plot. It was extensive and vast in its design. Nothing could have been better contrived."
The conspirators were to have seized on the magazine, the treasury, the mills, and the bridges across James River. They were to have entered the city of Richmond, in three places with fire and sword, and to have commenced an indiscriminate slaughter—the French only excepted. They were then to have called on their fellow negroes, and the friends of humanity throughout the continent by proclamation, to rally round their standard. The magazine which was defenceless, would have supplied them with arms for many thousand men. The treasury would have given them money—the mills bread—and the bridge would have enabled them to let in their friends and keep out their enemies. Never was there a more propitious season for the accomplishment of their purpose. The country is covered with a rich harvest of Indian corn; the flocks and herds are every where fat in the fields, and the liberty and equality doctrine, (nonsensical, dangerous, and wicked as it is in this land of tyrants and slaves) is, for electioneering purposes, found a most effectual panacea through our valleys and mountains, in every direction."
The city of Richmond and the circumjacent counties are in arms and have been so for ten or twelve days past. The patrollers are doubled through the State, and the governor, impressed with the magnitude of danger, has appointed for himself 3 Aides-de-camp! A number of conspirators have been hung—and a great many more are yet to be hung. The trials and executions are going on day by day. Poor deluded wretches! Their democratic delusions conscious of their own guilt, fearful of the public vengeance, are most active in bringing them to punishment. "Quid quid delirant Reges, plectuntur Achiui."
Two important facts have been established by the witnesses in their evidence on the different trials—first that the plan of the plot was drawn by two Frenchmen in Richmond, and by them given to the Negro General (Gabriel who is not yet caught); and secondly—that in the meditated massacre, not one Frenchman was to be touched. It is moreover believed—tho' not positively proved—that a great many of our profligate and abandoned whites (who are distinguished by the burlesque appellation of democrats) are implicated with the blacks, and would have joined them if they had commenced their operations. The particulars of this horrible affair you will possibly, see detailed in Davis's paper from Richmond; but certainly from Stewart's paper in the city of Washington. The Jacobin printers and their friends are panic struck. Never was terror more strongly depicted in the countenances of men. They see, they feel the fatal mischiefs that their preposterous principles and ferocious party spirit have brought upon us."
MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Nassau, N. P. Aug. 12. On Sunday arrived his Majesty's ship Andromache , of 32 guns, Capt. Laurie, who sent in two American vessels with contraband cargoes; a sloop bound from New-York to Havana, and a Schooner from Boston to Cuba, both prizes.
New-York, Oct. 1. Arrived ship Russel , Gibbs, in 42 days from Greenock. Sept. 10 fell in with the French frigate Franchise , of 40 guns, from the River La Plate, bound to Rochelle, one of the three from France on the same expedition—she had taken 33 sail, some of which were American vessels, including the Schooner Rambler , of this port, from the Pacific Ocean. The officers of this frigate robbed the ship Russel of about 20,000 sterling worth of goods, the Captain's papers, &c. &c. and after a detention of 8 hours, dismissed her with the most bitter curses against the Americans.
This infernal Pirate, on the 7th inst. in lat. 37, long. 43, had captured the ship Pacific of Portsmouth, N. H. Capt. Perkins Salter, from St. Ubes for Portsmouth; and after plundering her, set her on fire, notwithstanding the Captain's offering them every thing on board, if they would spare the ship—but no! nothing was bad enough for Americans—they burnt the ship, which was valued at 15,000 dollars—This we have from the Captain's own mouth, whom they put on board the Russel .
October 2. Ship Jefferson , Cutter, of Portsmouth, N. H. from Surinam. Left there the 9th of August. September 14, in lat. 22, in a heavy sea, carried away his foremast. Capt. Cutter left the following vessels: brig Franklin , of Pepperelborough; Enterprize , Langdon, Portsmouth; Mary , Edes, New-Haven.
Newport, Sept. 30. Arrived Rising Sun , Dackray, Amsterdam; Industry , Huntington, Liverpool; Pegasus , Jackson, Surinam. Capt. Dackray was boarded and robbed by
a French privateer, of goods to the amount of 6000 dollars.
Successful Bravery. Boston, Sept. 26. Arrived ship Franklin , Thomas Oxnard, commander, St. Sebastian, 59 days. Two days after sailing, the Franklin was captured by a Guernsey Privateer, and all the persons were taken out, except the Captain, cook, steward and boy (the cook and steward were negroes,) and two Prize Masters and eight Stout Privateersmen were put on board. After being in this situation 6 days, proceeding towards an English Port—the Captain seized a favorable opportunity, and repossessed himself of his vessel, imprisoned the Privateersmen and resumed his course to the United States. For 20 days the Captain was necessitated to be constantly upon deck, and to exert himself to the utmost to manage the ship, and keep the prisoners from any chance of rising—which they made perpetual efforts to do. At length he fell in with the ship Apollo , Thurlston, from Liverpool for Baltimore, who took out 5 of the Englishmen—and afforded other assistance. The remaining 5 arrived in the Franklin .
Ship Rams has arrived at Baltimore from St. Sebastian and Bermuda, Aug. 8, was taken by a French Privateer. Every person was removed except the Captain, and a prize master, 10 seamen and a gentleman belonging to Norfolk, put on board. The Captain and the Norfolk gentleman, retook the vessel, on the 19th of Aug. and went to Bermuda for provisions and a crew.
PORTSMOUTH, October 7.
A gentleman who came passenger in the ship which arrived at Salem from Cadiz, brought with him a letter, written by Mr. Mountflore, an American Agent at Paris, to the American Consul at Cadiz, and dated July 31, in which he observes, "We are here in great anxiety about the principle the Council of Prizes will adopt respecting our armed vessels. None have yet been tried. Opinions are divided; and as our Negotiations are not terminated, some think all decisions on such causes will be postponed till a Treaty be made; or the Negotiations ultimately broken up. For my part I have still some hopes, that a Treaty will be effected. Others think our Envoys will return in two or three weeks without signing a treaty, and that a French Commissioner will be sent to Philadelphia, to settle the points which now form the greatest obstacles." He also observes, That the Council of Prizes have cleared the Am. ship Union , Capt. Lynde; and have condemned the ship Republican and cargo, for irregularity in her papers; and the cargo of the Statira , without allowing freight.
From HALIFAX. The ship Brutus , Capt. Rutherford, from Newbury-Port, for the Savannah. This ship sailed from Newburyport for the Savannah, with a cargo of boards, beef, hogs and hoops. The Captain had orders from the owners to sell her if a certain price could be obtained; if not to take the best freight that should offer. A few days after her departure from Newburyport, the Earl of Dublin privateer, from Halifax, fell in with her, and ordered her to Halifax, where she was libelled, tried and condemned, on the following grounds: That she was wholly composed of articles deemed contraband, viz. plank, timber, pitch, tar, iron, canvas, and cordage—and therefore was in every respect an Implement of War.
Brig Sally , Capt. Dawton, from Batavia for Philadelphia.
This vessel in March, 1798, sailed from Philadelphia, for the Isle of France, and there took freight for Hamburg—she sailed with a cargo for Batavia, but was under the necessity of bearing away for the Isle of France, for a supply of water and bread, which Capt. Dawton got a full supply of; and thinking it absolutely necessary to arm in order to protect himself in going through the Straights of Sundra, purchased 2 guns, a small quantity of powder and shot, and then sailed for Batavia, where he purchased a full load of coffee, and then proceeded on his homeward passage for Philadelphia,—a few days sail, short of which port, he was taken by the British ship Pheasant , and ordered for Halifax, and there libelled, tried and condemned, for these reasons, viz. Trading to the Isle of France, contrary to the laws of the United States—arming in an enemy's port, though only with two guns, for his protection against pirates.
APPOINTMENT. Oliver Sparkhuck, Esq. of Walpole, Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas in the County of Cheshire.
Dr. Birch, surgeon of St. Thomas's hospital, (Pen.) has published a striking instance of the success of electricity, for the contraction of the muscles; a lad of 18 by a stroke of a large hammer bruised his thumb to that degree that
the fingers were immovably contracted; remedies applied for weeks proved ineffectual, when electricity had the desired effect; the lad was troubled with spasms at different times for several succeeding weeks, but by daily shocks the muscles were at length restored to their proper tone.
Marine Intelligence. Tuesday arrived here the ship Woonsocket , Capt. Reuben S. Randall, in 66 days from St. Petersburg.

September 3d there was a heavy gale and great sea at St. Thomas, in which one vessel from Baltimore and one from Carolina, were totally lost; the captain of the Baltimore vessel was lost with his vessel. One English ship lost her foremast and bowsprit, and was much damaged in her cables.
Capt. Rogers was very attentive in assisting such vessels as particularly needed his aid; and the ship Jefferson , capt. N. Cutter, having sprung his foremast, he was taken in tow for several days. Capt. Gould in the ship Sally of Kennebec, left the fleet for Turks-Island, Sept. 12, in lat. 20, 30. Capt.

Thursday arrived ship Mercury , captain Treadwell, in 24 days from St. Bartholomew's, under convoy of the Baltimore , sloop of war. On the 15th Sept. Mr. John Noyes, of Charlottetown (Moss') mariner, died after 7 days illness. On the 17th Sept. at 5 A.M. discovered a wreck to leeward, which proved to be the ship Hope , commanded by Elisha Dote, of New-Bedford, from Wilmington, N. C. bound to Jamaica, who in latitude 26, long. 69, was dismasted and dismasted in a hurricane, and shortly after the sea forced out her ports, she immediately filled with water. Capt. Treadwell boarded her, and took off the captain and crew, who were in a very feeble state, having been without provisions for 10 days. On the 19th, was boarded by a French privateer, who finding the cargo of little value, and another sail heaving in sight, plundered several articles and dismissed us.
Brig Enterprize , Langdon, of this port, was recaptured from the French on the 30th of Aug.

INSENSIBILITY.
FREDERICK MOREL was translating Libanius when some one came, and told him, that his wife had been languishing for some time, and was very ill, and wished to speak with him. "I have" said he "only two periods to translate, and I will then go to see her." A second messenger informed him that she was on the point of death. "I have not more than two words to finish," said Morel; "return to her, I shall be there as soon as you." A moment after, another messenger brought an account of her death. "I am very sorry," said he, "she was a very good woman." He continued his translation.
A gentleman was awaked in the middle of the night, for the purpose of being informed that his father was dead; he turned again to sleep, saying, "Oh! how I shall be grieved in the morning when I awake again."
Infalible Cure for the DYSENTERY. "Take a large apple, pick out the core, and fill the cavity with honey-comb (the honey being strained out) cover it with hot ashes till roasted soft, then mix it together, and eat it all at once. It commonly gives ease in about half an hour."
[The above was copied from a Providence and R.I. paper, and the writer says he and some of his friends have been cured by it.]
A CARD.
KINE-POX.
DR. SPALDING,
PRESENTS his compliments to the inhabitants of Portsmouth and its vicinity, informing them that he has received from Dr. WATERHOUSE the infection of the Kine or Cow-Pox, with full liberty to inoculate therewith.
The Cow-Pox, is not only an effectual and sure preventive of that dreadful disease the small pox, but incomparably lighter, attended with very little danger. It is not contagious, it cannot be communicated from the infected to the sound, except by contact or inoculation. One of Dr. W's children, through the whole complaint, slept with those who had never had either the kine or small pox, without infecting them.
Dr. SPALDING gives information that he will attend to the inoculation for the kine-pox, and the after management, of whole families and individuals at their respective houses—or to individuals at his lodgings, at the Rev. Mr. ALDEN's, near the South meeting-house, where every command, within the province of his profession, will be strictly attended to.
* Dr. S. will inoculate in Portsmouth, Dover, Newington, Greenland, Rye and Kennebec.
