TENERIFF.
THE Canary Islands are thirteen in number, according to Buffing, situated between 27 and 30 degrees N. lat. The easternmost island is about 150 miles from the African coast. They all belong to the Spaniards except Madeira, which is in the hands of the Portuguese. They are supposed to contain about 160,000 inhabitants.
Teneriff, one of the Canaries, is in the form of an obtuse triangle, whose base is eleven leagues in length, and its height 18 leagues. Its land is high and mountainous. Its towns are Larotava on the west side, with a safe harbor, surrounded by steep branches—a place of considerable commerce. Santa Cruz on the eastern shore in a sandy plain, has a tolerable harbor, commanded by two small forts—along the shore are placed a few small batteries; but the town is without walls, and is defended only by two small forts. It consists of 2 or 300 houses, of three stories, built of stone. It has a church, six convents and a charming hermitage. Laguna, the capital of the island, is about two leagues from Santa Cruz on a small eminence, which commands a delightful prospect. Around it is a plain, covered with vineyards and terminated with rocks. Its houses are of brown stone, covered with tile, and adorned with gardens, paterres, or terraces, and alleys lined with orange and lemon-trees.
Three kinds of wine are made in Teneriff—Canary wine, which is said to be from a vine which was brought from the borders of the Rhine—Malmsey, a most delicious wine from a grape transported from Candia, and the green wine, which is more strong and harsh, but mellows by transportation.
The peak of Teneriff is one of the highest mountains in Europe, said to be a league from its base, and is discoverable at sea at the distance of 150 miles.
With such an island as this, the English have no business; and they had better keep at home or on board their ships, than to alarm and plunder the peaceful inhabitants of the fortunate isles.

NEW-BEDFORD, Oct. 20.
We learn from Nantucket, that a vessel from Carolina, with about 400 barrels of tar on board, consigned to Doane, Boston, had put into New-port, sailed from thence for Boston, and came to anchor about 13 days after, to the S. E. of Nantucket, in a most distressed situation—having been blown off the main sail blown away nearly filled with water, and the pumps choked—a man died on the quarter deck that day, and others were sick—a signal was made next morning, and a boat went on board in which all the people came on shore—the vessel directly after upset, and was swept away by the tide—This happened a few days past.—The above are all the particulars we have obtained.

This article will afford reflections deeper than mere comparative calculation. It will show the liberality of the laws of our country, which affords protection to every denomination of religious people; from the enlightened disciples of Jesus, to the benighted followers of Confucius and Mahomet; and must have a powerful effect on emigration.
BEAUTIES OF MASONRY.
AN EXTRACT.
BY the exercise of brotherly love, we are taught to regard the whole human species as one family, the high and low, the rich and poor; who as created by one Almighty Parent, and inhabitants of the same planet, are to aid, support, and protect each other. On this principle, Masonry unites men of every country, sect, and opinion, and conciliates true friendship among those who might otherwise have remained at a perpetual distance. Relief is the next tenet of the profession. To relieve the distressed, is a duty incumbent on all men; but particularly on Masons, who are linked together by an indissoluble chain of sincere affection. To sooth the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes, to compassionate their miseries, and to restore peace to their troubled minds, is the grand aim we have in view. On this basis, we establish our friendships, and form our connections. Truth is a divine attribute, and the foundation of every virtue. To be good and true, is the first lesson we are taught in Masonry. On this theme we contemplate, and by its dictates endeavor to regulate our conduct; hence, influenced by this principle, hypocrisy and deceit are unknown, sincerity and plain-dealing distinguish us, and the heart and tongue join in promoting each other's welfare, and rejoicing in each other's prosperity.
Masons are brethren by a double tie, and among brothers should exist no invidious distinctions. Though merit be always respected, and honor rendered to whom it is due, the same principles govern all. A king is reminded, that although a crown may adorn his head, or a sceptre his hand, the blood in his veins is derived from the common parent of mankind, and is no better than that of the meanest subject. The wisest senator, or the most skillful artist is taught, that, equally with others, he is by nature exposed to infirmity and disease; and that an unforeseen misfortune, or disordered frame, may impair his faculties, and level him with the most ignorant of his species. This checks pride, and incites courtesy of behaviour. Men of inferior talents, or not placed by fortune in such exalted stations, are instructed to regard their superiors with peculiar esteem, when they behold them, divested of pride, vanity, and external grandeur, confiding, in the badge of innocence & bond of friendship, to trace wisdom, and follow virtue, assisted by those who are of a rank beneath them. Virtue is true nobility, and wisdom the channel by which virtue is directed and conveyed; wisdom and virtue only can distinguish Masons.

A Proclamation
For a Public Thanksgiving.
RECOLLECTION of the favors bestowed on us as a people should excite our warmest gratitude, and induce us to join together in celebrating the praises of our supreme and bountiful Benefactor, for all his kindness toward us; and it having been a long continued and highly laudable practice to set apart certain days that we may unite in a public and social manner, for this purpose;
I have thought fit, by and with advice of Council, to appoint Thursday the sixteenth day of November next to be observed as a day of Public Thanksgiving throughout this State; and I do earnestly recommend to ministers and people of every denomination, that they religiously dedicate said day, that we may unitedly, with devout hearts, call to mind the loving kindness of the Lord; "Enter into his gates with Thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name," for the multiplied mercies bestowed upon us.
In particular to thank him for the preservation of the system adopted for the Government of these United States, so well calculated to secure the peace, liberty and safety of the citizens—For preserving the life of the President—for preserving us from war—for the general health enjoyed throughout this State—for His blessings on the seasons of the year, so that we have a comfortable supply of the fruits of the earth—and above all, for a continuance of the blessing of the gospel of peace, the means of grace, and hopes of future happiness.
And together with our Thanksgiving for favors received, let us fervently beseech the Father of mercies for a continuance of the privileges we enjoy, and that He would grant such favors as we may stand in need of. That it would please him to keep the Government of the United States, and of the several States under his holy protection—that our rulers may be inspired by the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, and lead to such determinations as shall tend to promote the best good of the nation, and that all the people may unite in carrying their determinations into effect.—That the wars and tumults among nations may be overruled to subserve the glory of God and the peace, liberty and happiness of mankind—that it would please God to bless this State, prosper the civil government, and smile on our husbandry, commerce and navigation. That our seminaries of learning may become more and more eminent for promoting virtue and piety, and that pure and undefiled religion may universally prevail.—That while we justly consider ourselves as a people highly exalted in point of civil and religious privileges, we may by his grace be induced to render the reasonable return of grateful hearts and correspondent lives, and that love to God and good will to mankind may be conspicuous in all our actions.
And I do recommend that all persons religiously abstain from servile labor and such recreations as are unbecoming the solemnity of the day.
Given at the Council-Chamber in Exeter, this sixth day of October , one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the twenty-second.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 29.
On Tuesday, the 18th inst. was committed by the City Council, to the federal jail in this city, Robert Ploughwright , of the privateer brig Campbell , Capt. Wilson , of Nassau, New-Prudence , mounting 18 guns, and owned by Richard Lappinger , of that place. He was put on board the schooner Nancy , of Philadelphia , commanded by Capt. Burnet , (which was re-taken by the Captain and Mate, as mentioned before, and brought by them in here) as prize master. The charge against him is, that he had no copy of a commission, which all privateers legally commissioned, give—that he lately commanded an American vessel from Alexandria in Virginia , to the West-Indies , and that he is a citizen of the United States. On Monday 25th inst. were arrest-
ed, Joseph Moffay of the State of Maryland , and William Cowell of the State of North-Carolina , citizens of the United States (who were picked up at sea with three other whites, and thirty-five blacks, by Capt. Gallaghan , of the schooner Exuma ;) having been on board the British armed ship, General Nichols , of Grenada , they were brought before Doct. John Love , one of the aldermen of this city, for examination, when it appearing Joseph Moffay had shipped himself voluntarily on board the said armed ship, he was committed to the federal jail for his trial: but it appearing that William Cowell , on the oath of two of the crew of said armed ship, was picked up at sea in a boat with Capt. Ewing , late master of the schooner Grace , of Washington, North-Carolina , Mr. Amour , the owner, an apprentice boy, Edward Potter , of North-Carolina , and Charles Langley , a boy of Boston , with two blacks; that Capt. Michael Morrison , of the said armed ship, had permitted the Captain, owner, apprentice and the two blacks to go on board an American schooner, but had detained by compulsion the said William Cowell , Edward Potter , and Charles Langley , on board; and that at Nassau , on his arrival there, he placed a number of blacks to guard the said Cowell and Langley to prevent them getting away from the ship, (for Potter had jumped into the boat of the Quebec frigate at sea, after exchanging a shot first with her by mistake at night)—he was in consequence discharged by Alderman Love .
NEW-YORK, Oct. 14.
Ira Allen writes from England, that he had received the letters from our government to lay before Lord Grenville , requesting, it is supposed, the release of the Olive Branch and her cargo of arms, tents, field pieces and camp equipage. Now, says he, the people of Vermont will be supplied with arms.
We rejoice that our brave fellow citizens of Vermont are like to be supplied—but as the fighting men in that state cannot much exceed the number of 20,000, and it is to be presumed that most of them have excellent guns already, as they are hunters, where will Ira Allen find purchasers for 20,000 muskets, with bayonets and cartridge boxes? Who in Vermont will buy brass field pieces, tents, and camp kettles?
When Mr. Allen , wrote his letter from England, he could not have known of the conviction and execution of M c Lean in Canada, much less could he have known that it was proved on his trial, that the insurgents, destined to take Quebec by storm, were to be supplied with arms from Vermont. But if our Vermont brethren should not want Allen's arms and camp equipage, possibly he may find a market for them in other states. The low price and long credit given by the French government will enable him to sell them cheap, and the speculation may yet prove a profitable one.
It was remarked of Sir Isaac Newton that his vast success in Mathematical and Philosophical researches, checked, for a period, the progress of improvement in those sciences. He went so far beyond his cotemporaries, that he destroyed competition.
A similar remark may be made with respect to the effect of Porcupine's personal abuse: which has so far exceeded all other attempts at scurrility, that the very lowest of our democratic papers have become ashamed of the contest, & have nearly given it up in despair.
Our correspondent Z. in the Commercial Advertiser of Saturday last, seems to suppose that in warm days, the air of cities alone is deprived of its respirable principle. This idea is not well founded, as it respects such weather as that on the 3d inst. when Mr. Baker's clock exhibited its accelerated motion. That state of the atmosphere, which is vulgarly called close air , is not local, nor produced by local causes. It exists in all parts of the country. Local causes, in a populous city, increase its debilitating effects; but a light unelastic air spreads over the whole country at once, and is the direct cause of tornadoes or thunder gulls, which sweep the surface of the earth.
A remarkable instance of this state of the air was on the 9th or 10th of October 1793, when the pestilence raged at Philadelphia, and menaced the city with depopulation—the deaths suddenly multiplying from 70 and 80 in a day, to 119. At
the distance of 200 miles from Philadelphia in an Eastern state, the air was so unelastic as to occasion universal languor, and was a subject of general observation among all descriptions of people.
OCTOBER 17. GRATITUDE TO PATRIOTISM.
Yesterday the citizens of New-York exhibited a splendid proof of attachment to the federal government, by their honorable reception of the President of the United States.
Agreeable to previous arrangements, Capt. LOVELL and LAMB's troops of Horse proceeded early in the morning to Haerlem-Brigde , where they met the President and escorted him to town.
On their approach, the several uniformed corps formed at the Bull's Head Tavern , and joining the procession, moved forward in the following order:—
Capt. LOVELL's troop of Horse—Capt. LAMB's do.—Capt. DURYEE's company of Grenadiers—New-York Rangers, commanded by Lieut. LAIGHT —Band of Music—Captain ARDEN's Independent Rangers—Capt. HULETT's New-York Volunteers—Capt. RICHARDSON's and WOLFE's companies of Infantry—Military officers on horseback—The PRESIDENT, in his coach and four, attended by a detachment of the cavalry—citizens in carriages and on horseback.
The route was from the Bull's Head , through Bowery-lane , Chatham-street , Broadway , Beaver-street , into Broad-street .—The Military advanced up to Garden-street , wheeled, and formed a line from Mr. AVERY's Hotel to Beaver-street .—The President then left his coach, and walked, uncovered, to his lodgings at Mr. AVERY's , accompanied by Generals MORRIS and HUGHES and a number of other gentlemen of distinction.
While the procession was moving down Broadway , the bells of Trinity Church commenced ringing.—A federal salute was fired by Capt. TEN EYCK's company of artillery from the battery, and another by the garrison in Governor's Island fort . The British frigate Thibee , fired a royal salute, a mark of attention on the part of Capt. HARDY , which reflects great honor on his character as an officer and gentleman.
It is but justice to say, that the whole business was conducted by the Military in the most proper manner: and that their good order, soldierly appearance and behavior, and the promptitude and correctness with which they performed the various evolutions, did them much credit.
The crowd of citizens which attended, was immense. All appeared equally anxious to behold the first Magistrate of a FREE PEOPLE; and by repeated shouts, announced the general satisfaction with one of their most early, zealous, tried friends, whose past services are too great, too deeply impressed, ever to be forgotten by the existing generation, or obliterated from the faithful records of the American Revolution.
CURACOA.
Several American Captains of vessels carried into this Dutch settlement by French cruisers, have remonstrated against the measure to the Dutch government; but as a French agent has established himself there, they dare not interfere. This occasioned the following spirited address.
To his Excellency the GOVERNOR And the Gentlemen of the Council of the island of Curacoca.
The memorial of the subscribers, citizens of the United States of America, on behalf of themselves and other citizens interested therein,
Respectfully represents, THAT they have seen with equal sorrow and surprize by the answer of your honorable body, to the solicitations of their fellow citizens, Stephen Kingston , one of the subscribers, that "all captures are referred to the decision of W. I. B. Tierce " (agent) who is well known to the members of your honorable body, to be concerned in the privateer; and that having all been brought in by cruisers fitted out here, and in some cases owned chiefly by members of your honorable body, (in particular by Mr. Brion , Mr. Van Eck , Ringhin and Steighli ) in violation of treaty stipulations, your memorialists beg leave collectively to represent—
That the sch. Betsey of Boston, late Capt. Sturgis , has been brought in here by a pirate (now here) not having a commission, and that the whole crew are missing!!
That Le Pandour , Capt. Garric , Le Horion , Capt. Pilote , L'Alliance , Capt. Peere Martin , L'Eliza , Capt. Du Pin , Le Rondelle , Capt. Cadet , Le Bayoneis , Capt. L. Baptiste , and Le Nottigeur , Capt. Lombard , have all been fitted out here, the last having the quarter deck guns of the Dutch frigate Ceres , laying in this port, and that for all the captures made, or that may be made by any of them, the United States will naturally expect payment of the full value, (not what they may be sacrificed for here) and damages from the Batavian Republic, and that afterwards this island, or perhaps your own honorable body may be called upon to make good the same—
That by the decree of condemnation of the brig Lady Washington and cargo, by a tribunal at St. Domingo , received this day, it appears that his Excellency the governor of this island "confirmed by a certificate in form," dated the 25th March last, the proceedings had here therein—
That in some instances cargoes have been taken out and sold here, though not yet condemned even by the agent—
That under those circumstances and considerations, your memorialists look forward for ultimate redress, and therefore pray your honorable body, that the money of every vessel or cargo sold, or that may be sold, be placed in safety to wait the issue of their respective appeal, your memorialists being severally determined to appeal, as thereby they do appeal to national negotiation, and to the superior courts of justice in Holland and Spain, against the proceedings and determinations had, or that may be had here to such effect against your memorialists, solemnly protest, that so the money may not be divided as prize, but as far as it may go, await the appropriations of justice—Praying the premises to be taken into your serious consideration, your memorialists remain respectfully, &c. &c. &c.

CASUALTIES.
On Saturday afternoon a Sailor fell from the foretop of the ship Packet , lying at the Longwharf, whither he had gone to indulge himself with a nap. He received but little injury, but was carried to the Alm's house to lodge till his complete recovery.
On Friday, while the Providence stage was on the road from this to that town, the steps getting loose, the Driver jumped from his box, and while employed in fastening them up the horses started. Herun and caught hold of the reins of the horses next the Coach, but not being able to stop them, was thrown down, and the horses and carriage passed over him.
After running about a quarter of an hour, the hinder horses fell, and the others necessarily stopped; in a few minutes, the Driver came up to the Carriage, to the great joy of the passengers, not having received any injury. The passengers were much alarmed, not being able to extricate themselves from the carriage; but fortunately the adventure ended with a little injury to the carriage alone.
At Bridgewater , the 19th inst. Nathan Kingman , eldest son of Capt. Ezra Kingman , aged 12 years. His death was occasioned by attempting to get out of the forward part of the cart, when the team he was driving was moving quick down a descending piece of land; he unfortunately fell under the wheel, which passed over the middle of his body, which forsooth accident he survived about 16 hours, in great distress, and then expired.

The following extraordinary and very interesting narrative is copied from the Baltimore Telegraph of the 18th instant.
A Gentleman lately from the NATCHEZ has favored the Editors of the Telegraph with the following information, which may be relied on:
The inhabitants of that important country, impatient under the delays and deceptions perpetually practised in the way of execution of Mr. Ellicott's mission (the running of the boundary line between the Spanish territory and that of the United States) and extremely exasperated at the conduct of the Governor, resolved to use their strength to compel the Spaniards to an honorable conclusion of the business, and proceed to arm and appoint themselves in the best manner they could. They assembled upwards of five hundred men, tolerably armed, and on deliberation it was determined to assume all power.
They divided the country into seven districts, each district deputed one person to represent it, and these deputies constituted a committee to manage the interests of the people. As soon as these important events took place, the Governor (Gayoso) and the Spanish and French settlers retreated to the Fort. The Committee proposed certain terms contained in five articles to the Governor, to which he assented, and the agreement was ratified by the Governor General, the Baron de Carondelet. We regret that we are not in possession of a copy of the treaty. It authorized a delegation of the people, of the same number, to which was confided the principal authority—such as it was. But every semblance of subordination is suspended; people obey or reject the legal decisions as they think proper, in so much that neither Governor nor Committee is much regarded; in fact all is there in confusion. The inhabitants detest the Spaniards, & are anxious to be incorporated as members of the United States. Their conduct is resolute and determined, and their own efforts would, in all likelihood, be sufficient to establish their will. The apparent neglect of the government of the United States has occasioned great uneasiness and disappointment. As the interest of the United States and the wishes of those people so strongly concurred, it was expected that those interests and wishes would be seconded by the spirited interference of the government. Mr. Ellicott and the military of the United States were in a state of suspense. On the part of the Spaniards, there appears little sincerity or serious design to fulfil the treaty.
About the 1st of August, Gov. Gayoso received his appointment as Governor-General of Louisiana, in the place of the Baron de Carondelet, who was appointed to Quito. The new Gov. General immediately left the Natchez for New Orleans, and appointed Maj. Stephen Minor to the government of the Natchez, until the arrival of a certain Col. Grandpre, whom the Court of Spain had appointed to that post in the room of Gayoso, and who was on his way there at the time our informant left New Orleans.
The inhabitants, however, are determined not to acknowledge Col. Grandpre, nor permit him to assume the government. The Spaniards still held out assurances to Mr. Ellicott, that the line would be run this fall—Capt. Guyon had moved with his detachment from the Chickasaw Bluffs, to join Capt. Pope and Mr. Ellicott at the Natchez, but it was said he would be repelled by force of arms, at the Walnut Hills, if he attempted to pass.
The American troops at the Natchez were very healthy on the 12th of August, and had their flag flying very near the Spaniards.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16.
FEVER.
"For four nights successively we have been visited by winter's hoary harbinger. The air has been extremely keen and salubrious—Ice, nearly one fourth of an inch thick, has been observed. Why then are the bills of mortality still swelled to that formidable size which deters the shivering citizen from entering his long lost and forsaken home? I will tell you—This same cold weather, which is so salutary to those who enjoy health, & which is so effectually dispelling the baneful contagion from our atmosphere, operates directly contrary on those whom it found laboring under the oppressive weight of sickness, and particularly in cases where the disease has not reached its summit. Consequently although the number of the deaths should continue large for some days to come, nevertheless, all danger may safely be pronounced over. Our fellow-citizens may return with little or no risk; but prudence would dictate to those who can make it convenient, since they have been absent so long, to remain a few days longer."
NEW-YORK, Oct. 23.
On Saturday the Belvidere, Capt. Ingraham, arrived at this port from London, but her papers are not later than have been received.
Captain Ingraham understood in England, that our Commissioners had arrived in Holland.
The following articles are from the London Morning Post, in August:
"The Emperor of Russia has dismissed General Suwarrow, because he massacred the Poles at Prague.—We with other European Monarchs would dismiss those who occasion torrents of blood to be shed!!"
"The French found in the harbours of Venice 17 line of battle ships, besides frigates and other smaller vessels. This will repair their losses at Toulon."
"Though it is highly probable the present state of parties in Paris will occasion a rupture, we hope the people will never apply a Royal Bandage!"
"Lord G. L. Gower came over from Lisle to warm Lord Malmesbury's bed at Cobham."
"Some countries pride themselves upon having Ministers heaven born.—Satan himself was heaven born also."
RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
At the late election in Elizabeth Town (N. J.) the FEMALES asserted the privilege granted them by the laws of that 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 these are generally widows. The court of Java is persuaded, that women are better calculated than men for negotiation that they are more accustomed to diffimulation 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.
Too much credit cannot be given to the Federal ladies of Elizabeth, for the heroic virtue displayed on Wednesday last, in gallantly advancing in a body to the poll to support their favorite candidates. It is a pity that this singular instance of female patriotism should be attended with any ill consequences, but it is said that the husbands and sweethearts of these heroines begin to suspect that some motive other than a love of the federal cause excited the enterprize. It is to be hoped, that this suspicion will not create a resentment that will reach the honorable candidates, who were highly flattered by this Amazonian exertion; and Fortune must be a malicious jade indeed, after all to render it unsuccessful. The exclusive patriots had for some days discovered systems of deep distress, but at 12 on Wednesday approaching Labour was evident to the most careless observer. The Alacrity with which the Matrons, and even maids, assembled, afforded a transient prospect of immediate relief; but, horrible reverse! aristocratic imbecility gave way to republican valour, and the hope of the aspiring family was strangled in embryo—the abortion took place on Saturday, at 3 o'clock P. M. amidst the sighs and groans of the disconsolate friends of good order and good government.
BOSTON, Oct. 27.
Yellow Fever.
We cannot yet felicitate our readers on the complete eradication of this Pestilence from our country. Sometimes a small diminution in the number of Deaths at Philadelphia and Baltimore, encourages our hopes that the malignant disease is abating; but the next mail throws us into despair again, by announcing a considerable increase in the number of the unfortunate victims. The publications of the committee of Almoners at Philadelphia, represent that city as in the deepest vale of distress; from the numbers, who are impoverished by the stagnation of business. When they accepted of the situation they held, which was after the yellow fever had committed great ravages,
they found three thousand persons totally incapable of existing without Charity. The committee, held, at that time, 10000 dollars, which had been granted by the Legislature; and could then hold the cup of nourishment to the famished lip; but how (they say) that stock, and considerable donations, is expended; and unless the hearts of their countrymen can be excited to pity and relieve them, those poor reliques of diseased must starve. The address of the committee to their fellow citizens, is elegant and pathetic; and if read by any who possess one latent spark of Philanthropy, must produce the most ready resolution to extend their charity to the devoted city of Philadelphia.
Deaths at Philadelphia.
Oct. 17—seventeen. Oct. 18—twenty-two. Oct. 19—five. Oct. 20—five. Oct. 21—eleven. Oct. 22—ten. Oct. 23—three.
This is highly pleasing—We hope the next mail will advise of a further retrenchment of the desolating fatality of the plague.
Deaths at Baltimore.
Oct. 13—nine; Oct. 14 and 15—fifteen; Oct. 16—nine.
FRENCH CROWNS

MILITARY REVIEW.
On Wednesday the men drafted from the several militia Companies in this town, were paraded, organized and reviewed. The equipments, with few exceptions, were found full and good. The exercises were performed with an unexpected degree of exactness. The marchings and wheelings were precise and compact. This detachment is under the command of Major RUSSELL. A spirit of Patriotism, as in most public transactions in this town, was plainly observable on the above occasion, in the ranks were some of the most respectable persons of the town.
From GIBRALTER.
On Wednesday evening arrived in town from Gibraltar, by the way of New-York, in 45 days, Capt. Brown, late of the brig Nancy of this place, which vessel was condemned at Algeciras. The conduct of the French cruisers was at the acme of villainy—property was taken on the most frivolous pretences. The Debtor of Boston, was among the last American vessels which fell into their hands. Some rumours were current that the French Directory had forbid all division of prize-property; and in consequence of which several fortune-hunting Americans had quitted the privateering service, finding it no longer profitable. Two had strolled down to Gibraltar, where, being recognized, they were arrested and confined. One was a Mr. Percivall, of Cape Cod, the other also, we understand, was a Cape Cod man. Jarvis remained in front of Cadiz. It was said he had formally invited MASSERADO out.
OCTOBER 30.
COMMERCIAL.
ROLE D'EQUIPAGE.
Most governments regulate their measures by the emergencies of the moment, and none more than those which are in a revolutionary state. In strictness, the French government ought to have demanded the passport and the role d'equipage of every American vessel, the moment war was declared against England; viz. in Feb. 1792. But nothing was said on the subject from that time to March 2d, 1797; a period of more than 5 years.
Two reasons may be assigned for this long silence—first, the pressure of the war in Europe, and the violent concussions suffered by the existing authorities of France; and secondly, the policy of the republic, which rendered it expedient to encourage the importation of provisions from America, and for that purpose, to let our trade go unmolested. But no sooner had the government of France acquired a consistent form and stability and all danger of famine vanished, then the Executive proceeded to exact of the Americans all the requisite evidences to prove their property neutral.
But the Americans, many of them at least, not suspecting what precise papers are required by our treaty with France; much less knowing what particular forms would be required by the French, under the general words of the arrest of March 2d, have taken no pains to furnish other evidences of their property, than they had been accustomed to send with their vessels before the date of that arrest. The consequence is, a rigid execution of that order exposes an immense amount of property to condemnation.
The question has been asked, why has not our government given directions to Merchants to conform themselves to the order of March 2, and
furnished them with the forms of passports, according to the treaty. What private reasons exist, we presume not to determine; but it is obvious that as our government had no minister in France, nor France any in the United States, that arrest of the Directory never was notified officially to our government. The Executive of the United States has therefore no knowledge of that order except through the medium of newspapers, on which he could not ground a governmental act. (N. Y. pap.)
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
At the October Sessions, for the County of Suffolk:
One FAUTRES, was convicted of keeping a disorderly house, and suffering gambling, &c. in his said house.—was fined by the Court, and ordered to recognize for the good behavior.
One GARFIELD was also convicted of keeping a Bawdy House, and is now imprisoned for want of Sureties for the good behavior, &c.
Likewise, on SALLY STILSON, for keeping a disorderly house, was fined and ordered to recognize to keep the peace and be of good behavior for six months.
N. B. It is hoped the above Examples will be a warning to all those persons who presume to keep billiard tables, or any other species of gaming in their houses, shops, cellars or dependencies, for the lucre of gain, as the Officers of Police and the Grand-Jurors will not fail of presenting all such violations of Law within their view. And likewise, the nuisances in the market of baker-boy's wheelbarrows, and every other obstruction in our public streets.—[Worthy of example.]
THEATRICAL.
We hear that a new Comedy, called, "Georgia Spec, or Land in the Moon," will be performed on Monday evening next, for the benefit of Mr. Payne and Miss Brett.
It is said to be the production of R. Tyler, Esq. of Vermont; and to possess much national manner, and well-pointed humor. The characters are general sketches, not personal description. The dialogue is penned in the best style of O'Keefe; its rally does not descend to invective, its wit aspires to originality. The Stage should be "the brief chronicle of the times," and it is of no less importance to the success of the American Theatre, to have authors of our own, than to have the fable laid in our own country.

Her mast and bowsprit gone. A large part of the wreck of her spars hanging to leward of her. Her stern black, with yellow carved work, and seven cabin windows. She was just swimming level with the surface of the sea.—Fresh breezes blowing could not go on board.

[The following pathetic Address will show the distressed situation of many of the inhabitants of Philadelphia, and excite the sympathy of every feeling heart.]
The commissioners for alleviating the distresses of the citizens of Philadelphia, &c.
To the inhabitants of said city and its vicinity.
PERMIT us to address you at this awful crisis, and to lay before you a brief statement of the distressing situation of our suffering fellow citizens. It is known to you that on the first day of September we accepted of the appointment from the governor to act as commissioners for the purpose of relieving the indigent, by donation and employment, with the stipulated sum of ten thousand dollars, granted by the legislature; and we presume it was generally believed at that time to be more than sufficient, arising from an expectation that the disease would soon abate, and that our absent friends would return and give employment to those whose resources were cut off by their leaving the city: but alas! how are we disappointed in our expectation! for our city yet continues in the same desolated and gloomy state, and consequently all means of employment for the industrious mechanic and laborer are still suspended—Add to this the numerous body of females that procured a livelihood by washing and ironing, needle work, &c. who are left destitute of their usual means of subsistence, besides a number who are aged and infirm, that used to obtain relief from the bounty of their more able friends and relations, as well as many seamen's wives who depend on the merchant for part of their husband's monthly pay, and who are now deprived of relief from that source. In this deplorable situation we found not less than three thousand people, including children, when we undertook to execute the trust reposed in us; the number of these has since greatly increased, and they still remain in the same suffering condition, with this difference—then they had the consoling reflection that the commissioners had ten thousand dollars ready to meet their exigencies, but now it is expended; and lamentable for us to be obliged to inform them—"We know not where to send you, or what to advise you to do—Our money is gone—We have to acquaint you we cannot promise your small pittance one week longer—We feel for you—we suffer with you—we know your distress—what can we do?—we can only promise you we will make your situation known to our fellow citizens; and you must rely on their benevolence."
