At Public Auction,
At Mr. Greenleaf's Tavern,
By Jacob Walden, Auctioneer,
On THURSDAY the 13th day of
MARCH next, at 3 o'clock, P. M.
THE dwelling House
of the subscriber, and the land
adjoining in two lots, viz. one lot 69
feet on Vaughan-street, 80 feet on
Cross-street, and 72 feet on the north
line having a width of sixty-five
feet at the east end of the lot;
with a good well of water with-
in those bounds and a pump to the
well.—The other lot includes the
House being 134 feet on Cross-street
and 94 feet deep, this lot affording a
large paved yard at the east end of
the House, and a sufficient piece of
ground for a garden at the west end;
those premises have been advertised
for sale in one lot, but concluding
that it may be more conducive to the
convenience of purchasers to divide it
into two lots, I have done it so as to
render the division more eligible,
which may be observed and exam-
ined by those who incline to become
purchasers, or any others desirous of
inspecting the lots any day previous
to the sale.
In a former advertisement a de-
scription of the House was given
—which renders it unnecessary to
add any thing further in this; as the
estate is generally known to those
who it is probable will become the
purchasers, but any further particu-
lars of the estate, also the conditions
of payment may be known (previous
to the sale) by applying to
Joshua Wentworth.

200 Farms, of 160 acres each,
LYING at Westfield, about fifty
miles South West of Epsom, not
one of which but may be culti-
vated. These Farms are of a good
rich soil, having a proportion of low
land to many of them.—The country
is extremely healthy, not five sick
persons having been known out of 52
families, settled there in several years.
They are well watered by three large

or enquiry into the facts alleged in his defence—are all matters exclusively of judicial enquiry, as arising from treaties, laws, constitutional provisions, and cases of Admiralty and maritime jurisdiction.
That the decision of those questions by the President of the United States against the jurisdiction of the court of the United States, in a case where those courts had already assumed and exercised jurisdiction; and his advice and request to the judge of the district court, that the person thus charged should be delivered up, provided only, such evidence of his criminality should be produced as would justify his apprehension and commitment for trial, are a dangerous interference of the executive with judicial decisions; and that the compliance with such advice and request on the part of the Judge of the district court of South-Carolina, is a sacrifice of the constitutional independence of the judicial power, and exposes the administration thereof to suspicion and reproach.
The question of reference to a committee of the whole was taken and carried.—Ayes 55. THE NON-INTERCOURSE BILL, Passed to be enacted. Mr. Randolph called for the Yeas and Nays.—Messrs. Macon, Eggleston and Nicholas, spoke against the passing of the Bill; and Messrs. Marshall and Gallatin, in favour of it.—It passed, Yeas 68, Nays 28.
The President informed the House he had approved of the Indictment Suspension Act.
FRIDAY, FEB. 21. THE BANKRUPT BILL
Was read a third time, and the question for its passing was called.—Several preparatory motions were made, and the bill passed as follows: AFFIRMATIVE.—Messrs. Baer, Bartlett, Bayard, Bird, Brace, J. Brown, Champlin, Cooper, Craik, Dana, F. Davenport, Dent, Dickson, Edmond-Evans, A. Foster, Glenn, C. Goodrich, E. Goodrich, Gordon, Griswold, Harper, Hartley, Henderson, Imlay, Kittera, H. Lee, S. Lee, Livingston, Marshall, Morris, Nott, Otis, Pinkney, Powell, Reed, Rutledge, Sewall, Sheafe, Shepard, Smith, Thacher, J. Thomas, R. Thomas, Wadsworth, Waln, L. Williams, Woods—43.
NEGATIVE.—Messrs. Alston, Bailey, Bishop, R. Brown, Cabell, Christie, Clay, Condit, Davis, Dawson, Eggleston, Elmdendorf, D. Foster, Fowler, Gallatin, Goode, Gray, Gregg, Grove, Hanna, Heister, Hill, Holmes, Jackson, Jones, Kitchel, Leib, Lyman, Lyon, Lynn, Macon, Muhlenberg, New, Nicholas, Page, Randolph, Smilie, Spaight, Staniford, Stone, Sumpner, Taliaferro, Thompson, A. Trigg, J. Trigg, Van Cortlandt, Varnum, R. Williams—48.
Mr. Speaker declared himself in the Affirmative, and the bill was Passed. WAYS AND MEANS.
Mr. Harper, from the Committee of Ways and Means, made a statement; of which the following is a summary:—
  The amount of necessary supplies for the present year, as estimated 15,393,034 11   Deduct one million, on account of suspension of further enlistments 2,000,000 00   Add to this a suspension of building the six 74 gun ships for the present year which the committee conceived it expedient to do 600,000 00   16,000,000 00   Leaves a sum to be provided for in the present year, of 13,793,034 11   To meet this expenditure, the receipts of the present year were estimated at 9,301,258 51   Deduct the revenue from the aforesaid expenditure, would leave a sum to be provided for above the revenue of the present year of 4,491,775 60   There remained in the Treasury of the last year's appropriation 2,159,377 10   But as a part of this would be wanted for contracts yet remaining due, and not more than one million would be left on hand towards this year's expenditure which deducted 1,000,000 00   Would leave a balance to be procured, over and above the revenue of 3,491,775 60 
The Committee reported that they had turned their attention to the object of revenue, but had not decided as to their report, and therefore they thought proper to submit a resolution to the House to authorise the President to procure by loan for the services of the present year the sum of 3,500,000 dollars, at such rates as he may find most for the interest of the United States.
The report was ordered to be printed and referred to a Committee of the whole House.
MONDAY, FEB. 24. An engrossed bill entitled, "an act to allow drawbacks of duty on goods exported to New-Orleans, and therein to amend the act for the collection of duties on imports and tonnage," was read and passed.
Mr. Dana reported a bill to provide for the execution of the 27th article of the treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation made with Great Britain, which was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole house for to-morrow.
Mr. Smith, from the committee of Commerce made a report on a petition from the merchants of Bristol, Warren and Barrington, the report was that it is inexpedient at this time to grant the prayer of the petition, and that they have leave to withdraw the same.
The House took up and concurred in the report.
Mr. Harper, chairman of the committee of ways and means, to whom were referred the amendments proposed by the Senate to the bill "providing for the enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States," reported their concurrence with the amendments proposed.
The house resolved itself into committee on the bill to continue in force an act concerning certain fisheries of the United States, and for the regulation and government of the fishermen employed therein, and for other purposes therein mentioned.
In the committee of the whole it was agreed to fill the blanks of the yeas and nays which this act continues the former in force, with ten. The committee rose and reported the amendment.
Mr. Gallatin thought it would be proper for Congress to examine into this subject before they proceeded too far to know whether it was an object worthy of notice or not, and farther to bring it into some proportion, to the tax on salt, the additional duty on which was prescribed to about two years from this time.
Mr. Sewall thought there was a necessity of giving this time to the law in order to remove the discouragements under which fishermen had labored, and which alone could encourage the trade to be carried on to an extent, because this law was meant to operate as a bounty, but he did not think the amount now paid as a bounty was equal to the single duty on salt. Several gentlemen spoke on this subject, at length the amendment was carried 40 to 26, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. Adjourned.
TUESDAY, FEB. 25.
The bill intitled "an act to continue in force an act concerning certain fisheries of the United States, and for the regulation and government of the fishermen employed therein, and for other purposes as therein mentioned," was read a third time, and upon the question shall this bill pass?
Mr. Macon opposed it, on the ground that no peculiar favor should be granted on the exportation of one article of provision more than another—and
Mr. Smith advocated it, as forming a nursery for our seamen; and replied generally to the observations of Mr. M. when the question on passing the bill was taken and carried, ayes 51.
Mr. Otis presented a petition of Gilbert Dench, which having been read, he moved to refer to the committee of claims.
Mr. D. Foster opposed the reference, and the motion was negatived, only 26 voting for it.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26.
Mr. Otis again called to the consideration of the House the petition of Gilbert Dench, which was yesterday refused a reference to the committee of claims; he stated the claim in strong colours, and added that new evidences were to be exhibited, on which account he moved its reference to a select committee.
A reconsideration was moved by Mr. Kitchell, and the petition was referred to the committee of claims.
Senate of the United States.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26.
A motion was made that it be Resolved, That the committee of privileges be, and that they are hereby directed to inquire, who is the Editor of the newspaper printed in the city of Philadelphia, called the General Advertiser, or Aurora, and by what means the Editor became possessed of a copy of a bill prescribing the mode of deciding disputed elections of President and Vice President of the U. States, which was printed in the aforesaid newspaper, published on Wednesday morning, the 19th of February instant, and by what authority he published the same; and by what authority the Editor published in the same paper that the honorable Mr. Pinckney, a Senator from South-Carolina, and a member of the committee who brought before the Senate the bill aforesaid, had never been consulted on the subject; and generally to inquire the origin of sundry assertions in the same paper, respecting the Senate of the United States, and the members thereof in their official capacity, and why the same were published, and make report to the Senate; and that the said committee have power to send for persons, papers and records, relating to the subject committed to them.
Mr. Howard, who traced him to Burlington, to Mount Holly, into New-Hampshire; and from thence to Boston; where he was informed by a Mr. Stone, a midshipman of the Merrimack, that Rockwood had enlisted on board the ship. Capt. Brown very generously sent the thief on shore; and he has since been remanded to the prison from whence he fled.
BOSTON, March 5. The Legislature of the Territory North West of the Ohio, in their late respectful address to the President of the United States, acknowledge themselves indebted to him "for the enjoyment of the rich country they now inhabit." As many readers may not have been suitably impressed with a just understanding of the sentence, it will not be improper to elucidate the fact by a recurrence to past transactions.—When the treaty of 1783 was on the tapis, the British Minister, Mr. Oswald, proposed the Ohio as the boundary line. This was seconded by the French Minister, the Count de Vergennes, and acceded to by Dr. Franklin. Mr. Adams opposed it in the strongest and most positive terms, in which he was supported by Mr. Jay. This at that time, broke up the conference.—Mr. Oswald then sent a person in an unofficial capacity to pump Mr. Adams, and see if he could not be brought over; but finding him determined, he asked him what he would do? to which he answered that he would write home to his government, advising them to continue the war until we could obtain our rights.
PHILADELPHIA, FEB. 24.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in London, dated the 15th of Dec. 1799, to a friend in this city.
"I have wrote you sundry letters since I have had the pleasure of a line from you, some of which, I am sorry to say, I know to be captured. Premiums of insurance have advanced with us, say to 12, 15, 15 guineas, with returns on your homeward and outward bound; too many of whom have been captured latterly for these premiums to support."
At a late hour last night a fire was discovered in Curtis's Brew-House, (Brewer's Alley) but not till it had got to a height as to baffle all endeavours to save any part of the building, which was very extensive.
The horror of the scene was heightened by the tottering of the walls which fell before several persons who were standing near them were able to make their escape: two men were lost in the ruins, and several badly wounded. A stable and several horses which had escaped the ravages of the fire a few nights since, (for it happened not fifty yards from the former) were very much damaged.
The French ship with which Capt. Truxton engaged, is supposed to have been the Volontaire, on her return home from Cayenne. It is thought she would be obliged to steer for some port in the Spanish Main.
We have a French list for '98, in which the Volontaire is rated as 50 gun ship. She is a very large vessel, and mounted 58 guns in the late action.
Capt. Shaw, who was on board of the Constellation after the engagement, saw a twenty-four pound shot which had lighted on her deck; from which it is presumed that the enemy was superior in metal.
The Constellation had parted from the Infurgente but 10 hours previous to her falling in with the Frenchman. We are happy to state, that the only personal injury sustained by Com. Truxton, during the action, was being a little bruised by a squad of rigging falling on him.
FEB. 25.
The weather yesterday presented a cheerful face to our merchants. Being in force, a strong southerly breeze prevailing, no less than 9 sail of vessels ventured out to our city; and, we doubt not our deserted wharves, will, in a few days display their usual bustle.
FEB. 26.
The Aurora of this morning contains several accounts of a fracas which took place in the House of Representatives of the 20th instant. The accounts are given in the form of extracts of letters from Lancaster; who are the authors of those letters we know not—We shall take steps to discover them.
In the mean time, we think it a proper respect to our fellow citizens to inform them that a more false and infamous libel never was attempted to be imposed on the public—For ourselves we smile contemptuously on the authors and propagators of the calumny.
SAMUEL W. FISHER, MICHAEL KEPPELE, Members of the House of Representatives of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, for the city of Philadelphia. Lancaster, Feb. 14, 1800.
HARRISBURG, Feb. 26.
We are credibly informed, that His Excellency Thomas M c Kean, was knocked down with a brick-bat while walking the streets of Lancaster, by one Moses Simmons, who is said to be insane. It is said, his Excellency was taken up almost lifeless.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 25.
The public are cautioned against receiving American counterfeit dollars at present in circulation—the milling is very badly executed, but in other respects difficult to detect; they are altogether we believe made of pewter, and may be discovered by ringing them.
VERGENNES, Feb. 13.
One Joseph Rockwood, of Massachusetts, was lately committed to prison here for debt, and from pure motives of humanity to a stranger, a number of gentlemen became his bail for the liberty of the yard.—However, Rockwood, after stealing a horse, saddle, bridle, halter, whip, and watch, gave his bail leg bail.—He was pursued by
Mr. Oswald finding Mr. Adams inflexible, and being obliged, by his instructions, to conclude a treaty on the best terms he could, the line was fixed where it now is, instead of the Ohio; for which the inhabitants of that fertile and flourishing territory, are indebted to the firmness of our now worthy President, seconded by that of Mr. Jay.
ENVOYS TO FRANCE.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman, at Providence, to his friend in this town, dated Feb. 28.
News has been received here this day from Charleston, that our Commissioners had arrived at Paris, and been received with tokens of general respect and joy. The information reached Charleston by a ship from London, in a short passage. I have not seen the papers: but the whole will be in print to-morrow. I assure you, however, that such information is really in the Charleston papers."
The Providence Gazette of Saturday last contrary to our expectation, contains nothing further of this intelligence. A gentleman from that place however, informs that Capt. Collet who arrived there from Charleston in 6 days, brought papers containing the positive news of the arrival of our Envoys at Paris; that they were cordially received; and that the Consuls had decreed the respect of the American flag by French cruisers.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Charles Kennedy to his owner in Newburyport. Kingston, (Jam.) Jan. 5, 1800.
"On Christmas day the city of Kingston, was to have been burnt by the French, the inhabitants having some suspicions of it, had some of the heads arrested, one of them, on trial, turned Kings evidence and informed of a number of barrels of powder and chests of arms, in different parts of the city, which were immediately secured. One of the villains was hung. All of the island was now under martial law—the merchants all under arms, and little business doing. I am informed the leaders were those who were concerned in burning Charleston, South-Carolina."
March 8.
In order that the timber for building the six 74 gun-ships may be sufficiently seasoned, the Committee of Ways and Means of Congress, have reported for the suspension of their building one year.
Citizens Paris, J. B. Dano, and Rocheraffes, are the French Provisionary Agents at Guadalupe, in the room of Desfourneaux.
Sir George Young, Governor, and Sir Roger Curtis, Naval Commander, at the Cape of Good Hope, arrived there in December last; where all things were tranquil.
The English have a strong fleet cruising round the piratical Isle of France. The Jupiter of fifty guns, Capt. Lofack, lately had a severe engagement with La Preneuse, a French 44; the former being unable, from a heavy sea, to open her lower ports.
COMMODORE TRUXTON.
A letter from an officer on board the Enterprise, which brought Commodore Truxton's dispatches, says, "the guns of the Frenchman were silenced, and the ship would have been taken had not the Constellation lost her main-mast at the moment she was
about to give the Frenchman the finishing blow. By this means the enemy got off or sunk, for she was not to be seen in the morning."
Capt. Flint, arrived at Salem from Guadalupe, says there was a French 54 gun ship lately arrived there from France. She was then just ready to fail on a cruise, in complete order.
MR. RUSSELL. THE Democrats are very much like the British soldier, who being flogged at the halberts for desertion; kept calling out to the Irish drummer who was whipping him, "strike higher." The Irishman did so; till the soldier bawled "strike higher"—"By J—," replied Paddy, "let me strike where I will I don't seem to please you."—So it is with Commodore Truxton. When he struck the Infurgente first, the Democrats were displeased with it, and called it murder.—Now the Commodore has permitted the Frenchman to have the first blow, they complain still, that his returning it was violating the pacific spirit of the French. Therefore whether he strikes first or second, he does not seem to please them. TRISTRAM.
Marine Intelligence.
Tuesday, March 4.
Arrived, sch. Neptune, Lewis Lombard, St. Thomas, 27 days. Left there sch. Swan, Jones, of Boston, for Turk's Island; and some southern vessels. Sailed in co. sch. Polly, Newell for Newburyport; left her in lat. 34. Flour 18 dolls.—Coffee 20 3/4—Sugar 8 3/4 12.
Thursday, March 6.

Two people had died in consequence of their sufferings. The rest of the crew, except the captain and supercargo, who refused to abandon the vessel, were received on board the Panther. The next day the wreck was not to be seen.
The snow Java, Capt. Murrell, arrived at Baltimore, from Batavia, failed from thence 9th Oct. '99, in co. with 2 other vessels, and came round the east end of Java, to avoid a French 44, and a float corvette, from Isle-of-France, which lay in the Straights of Sunda, to kidnap American vessels."
From the FARMER'S MONITOR.
"Every Man to his Trade."
WHAT shall a man do who has no trade? Learn one. Every one need not be a mechanic; but let every body have some honest employment, understand their business, "stick to their trade," and let other people's affairs alone. This is the way to grow rich, and live happy.
When I go into a barber's shop, and hear Mr. Tonfor, whose information extends but little beyond the end of his sign pole, prate politics, puff the French Directory, and legislate for the American Congress, I say to myself, "every one to his trade."
A wig and a constitution are very different things; a man may be quite a connoisseur in one, and very ignorant of the other.—Tonfor's tongue proves this as fully as a "strong argument chain."
The industrious farmer or mechanic, who is not content with small and sure gain, should remember, "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."—After they have tried their dear experiments in merchandise, horse-jockeying, or land speculation, they will have reason to lament their not adhering to my text. "Any trade is good, if well followed." A man may make more at journeywork in a poor trade, that he is master of, than by an apprenticeship in better business, that he is unacquainted with.
The lawyer harrangues for his clients, reads authorities, quotes precedents, refines, defines, and splits hairs; says much that you do not understand, much that you are unable to contradict, and more that you do not believe: You hear him through from, "May it please your Honors," to "I submit it to you, gentlemen of the Jury;" you approve of part—of the rest you only say, he is a lawyer—"Every one to his trade."
But, say Ignorance, Prejudice and Rogues, this is an unnecessary trade, a dishonest trade—Hold, friends; "all trades must live." While there are rogues, ignorance and prejudice, there must be lawyers, or every body must leave their trade to study law.
When two persons are at variance, they think very different of the merits of their cause; they tell different stories to their lawyers—both sides are sure of the cause—a lawyer is not a conjurer: he cannot foretel what witnesses will say—when they come before the court—out comes the truth against the unfortunate client: he loses the case; and makes amends by cursing the profession.
Deal fairly with your neighbors, tell the plain truth to your attorney, and you will have but little occasion to speak ill of the lawyer's trade.

MR. MELCHER.
MANY people have appeared much surprised, at the great change in public sentiment, which is manifested in the elections now taking place in this, and some other parts of the State, respecting many of our present State officers—they are ready to enquire, to what cause can this be ascribed? has His Excellency the Governor been guilty of any misdemeanor? has he by any official conduct forfeited the confidence of his constituents? has he attempted in any instance to leap over the barrier prescribed him by the Constitution? a ready negative will at once be given to each of the enquiries—why then (it will be asked) are the good people of New-Hampshire in so many towns, withholding their suffrages from the man, who has been their pride and boast for so many years, and who has been (I had almost said unanimously) elected to, and filled with dignity, the office of chief magistrate of the State for six successive years? however singular and surprising this conduct may at first appear, yet when the facts which have produced it are properly examined, the surprise will cease, and the consequences which have ensued will be found naturally to arise, from the powerful causes which have produced them.
That there is a party in the United States, whose aim has been to thwart the measures of Government, to effect a change in its administration, to divide the Government from the people, and eventually to overthrow our happy Constitution, is a fact, which it is presumed, at this period will not be disputed; its existence, if not anterior, is certainly coeval with the embassy of Genet—happy for the State of New-Hampshire, the influence of this party has 'till of late been extremely circumscribed, and with the exception of Portsmouth and a few other towns, the State has been exempt from the contagion—New-Hampshire as a State has been considered highly Federal, and public expressions of the attachment of the people to the Government, have been manifested on all proper occasions. Though the character of federalism can with great propriety be applied to the State, yet the anti-federal party, however small among us, has not been wanting in zeal and activity to disseminate their disorganizing principles; the enlightened understanding of our citizens, together with the happy effects produced by those defensive measures of our general Government, which were so warmly opposed and reprobated by this party, has 'till of late been sufficient to defeat their effects; and if we may with propriety draw an inference from the elections made in the year past, the cause of federalism was gaining ground even in our metropolis—But delusive is the idea to expect that the restless, ambitious mind of a disorganizing Jacobin can be quiet, while his views remain unaccomplished; if the means hitherto used have proved abortive, other measures must be adopted to increase their party and effect their purposes—unhappily those which they have lately pursued have been but too successful—The influence of a Bank, by associating its proprietors in one common interest, by creating dependents, by promises of accommodation to the needy, and the popular idea that by such institutions money will become more plenty, is so self evident, that to attempt a demonstration would be outrage on common sense.—That the Bank of New-Hampshire was fully adequate to answer all the commercial purposes for which such institutions were designed, and that another Bank in the town of Portsmouth was not only unnecessary, but even injurious to the public, by lessening the accommodation to borrowers, and diminishing the circulating medium, could in my opinion be demonstrated to the satisfaction of any candid mind—however my sentiments on this point may differ from some others, yet to avail themselves of the influence to be obtained by such institutions, the New-Hampshire Union Bank was established—its founders are those who have been considered as at the head of the opposition in New-Hampshire, and though they lured many to join with them, whose motives have been purely and solely interested, yet to assign such motives to many of the proprietors is to insult their understanding—that it was designed as a great political engine, to create influence, and increase the democratic party was predicted of it while yet in embryo, and subsequent events have fully verified the truth of the prediction—to oppose therefore the establishment of such an institution, by all lawful constitutional means was a duty incumbent on all those who have any claim to political sagacity—the attempts made at the last sessions of our State Legislature to obtain an incorporation, and the decided manner in
which their petition was rejected, after the fullest and most ample investigation of the subject, though supported by one, whose talents are the object of envy by one party, and considered as an host of himself by the other, are facts so recent, as to be in the recollection of every one—suffice it to say, that the more fully the subject was investigated, the greater was the majority opposed thereto—thus defeated in their favorite scheme, by the invincible integrity and Federalism of the Legislature, their only hope of success now remains in effecting a change in the present elections.—As Governor Gilman's known opposition to every disorganizing, Jacobinic scheme would be an insuperable barrier to their views, to prevent his re-election is an object of primary pursuit; and measures the most base, insinuations the most untrue, and falsehoods the most malicious are resorted to, to effect this favourite purpose.—It is beyond my present design to delineate particularly the means used to deceive, and throw an obloquy on Governor Gilman; it is a part of the Jacobinic creed, that the end justifies the means, and on this principle they act by their emissaries and runners pervading every part of the State, attempting to divide the people, and if possible prevent the re-election of our present chief Magistrate.
In the selection of their candidate for Governor, they have discovered much political sagacity—to the federal State of New-Hampshire, it were in vain to hold up to public view, with any prospect of success, a candidate not reputed a Federalist—they have therefore nominated Judge Walker, whose reputation as such has been hitherto unsuspected, and whose local situation is such, as to expect that those citizens, who are anxious for the seat of our Government should be permanent at Concord, would unite in him—but however fair Judge Walker's political character may have been, is there not room for suspicion, when we find him consenting to be placed at the head of the Democratic party? must there not have been, some previous understanding between him and them, to account for the astonishing zeal and exertions made use of to effect his election?
Citizens of New-Hampshire, be on your guard—never was there a time when more circumspection was necessary—the attempts to divide you from your Government, and effect a revolution in our State Government have at no time appeared so alarming—be vigilant—suffer yourselves not to be duped by the artifices of ambitious Demagogues, but unite your suffrages in supporting the Man, under whose administration, the State has attained unexampled prosperity and reputation. MARCUS. March 6, 1800.
NORFOLK, Feb. 18. The brig Pegasus, arrived here on Saturday, in 18 days from St. Kitt's failed with 50 sail under convoy of the Pickering. Left at St. Kitt's the United States frigates Constellation and Insurgent. The day before the Pegasus failed, the United States ship Baltimore, Captain Cowper, brought in a French privateer of 12 guns, which they captured by a stratagem:—the privateer greatly outailed the Baltimore, Captain Cowper disguised his ship like a merchantman, and hauled all the guns; the privateer deceived by this appearance ran alongside and poured a broadside in the Baltimore—her mistake was announced by a return from the Baltimore, which prevented the citizen from escaping.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 28. Counterfeit Bank-Bills. From an Alexandria paper of Tuesday last, received by Yesterday's mail. Yesterday two men were apprehended for having passed a number of counterfeit 50 and 100 dollar bills of the bank of the U. States. On their examination, it was proved that they, a few days since, arrived at this port in the schooner Two Brothers, from New-Orleans; and from evidence it appeared, that vast quantities of counterfeit notes of the above description were in general circulation at that place.
Capt. D'Vol, late master of the sch. Eagle, of Baltimore, which upset at sea, on the 30th January last, gives the following information: Two days after the above misfortune, all hands on the wreck, the Sifters, Capt. Stokes, of Charleston, fell in with us. We begged his assistance; but he refused to take us up, alleging that he was short of provisions! at length after strong entreaties, he had us swim on board; this he knew the weak state of myself and crew would not allow us to comply with; Capt. S. then inhumanly left us to all the calamities of starvation and lingering death. However, on the following morning at about nine o'clock, his majesty's ship Asia, admiral Vaudeput, took us off the sch'r treated us with the utmost humanity,
and landed us safe at Hampton roads. Thus were myself and crew relieved by the generosity of a foreigner when refused it by an American! In behalf of himself and crew, Capt. D'Vol, returns his most grateful acknowledgments, for the kind and hospitable treatment which they received from Ad. Vaudeput, and the officers of the Asia.
HARTFORD, Feb. 24. Asaph Chelson, aged about 77 years, was convicted before the superior Court, of passing counterfeit money, and sentenced to two years confinement in Newgate prison.
BOSTON, March 10. The lengthened delay of arrivals from Europe at the present season promises to be as great as it was at the same period of the last year, when we were fourteen weeks without European intelligence.
An arrival from Europe might bring continental news down to the first week in February; the five preceding weeks must have given birth to many important events.
The expulsion of the Austrian powers from all Italy has been taken place in all January, by the army under General St. Cyr.
A peace between the Emperor and the French Republic is an event which may be presumed to have taken place about the beginning of February.— Aurora.
OUR ENVOYS
The intelligence, published in our last, respecting the arrival and reception of the American envoys at Paris, was composed of such stuff as dreams are made of.*

From New-York, Feb. 28. Captain Melcher, of the schooner Agnes, arrived here yesterday, in three days from Peterburgh, informs, that off the Capes of Virginia, he spoke a ship the Captain of which informed him that the United States frigate Constitution was to windward of them, totally dismasted. [N. B. It is probably the Constellation.]
Philadelphia, Feb. 26. Extract from the Log-Book of the United States Schooner Enterprise, Lieut. John Shaw, commander. Jan. 10. Boarded the American brig Polly, of Wiscasset, took six prisoners out of her, about a degree E. of Martinique. She was taken by a French privateer of 8 guns, who put on board eight men to navigate her to Guadalupe, leaving on board the Polly the captain, a man, and a boy, who retook her after an obstinate struggle with the Frenchmen, killed two and disabled the rest. Lent an officer and 12 men on board the Polly, at the same time, to assist them in anchoring her in St. Pierre's.
Jan. 23. Boarded and re-captured the Schooner Victory, 5 days in possession of the French, had been taken by the French privateer the Sun, of 8 or 10 guns.
Jan. 24. Boarded and re-captured the brig Andreacoggin, of Topsham, bound for Jamaica six days in possession of the French, taken by the privateer La Union, Topaz, master.
Feb. 4. Boarded the United States, Constellation, St. Croix, bearing N.N.E. 10 or 12 leagues distance—who, on the 1st had an engagement with a French 54. Spoke the British frigate Unity. Also spoke the United States frigate L'Insurgente, bound to Jamaica.
PORTLAND, March 10. It is intimated with some degree of confidence, that this port has been judged very suitable for the erection of a navy dock.
On Thursday last, it is said, upwards of six hundred Teams and Sleighs, with country produce &c. came into this town previous to one o'clock, P. M. This fact may serve to convey an idea of the increasing trade of the town and country.
PORTSMOUTH, March 12. The Hon. Alfred Moore, Esq. of North-Carolina, is appointed a Judge of the Supreme Judicial Court of the United States; vice Judge Iredel, deceased.
The first number of a new periodical work entitled the Columbian Phoenix, or Boston Review, has just been issued in the city of Boston. This publication it appears, is edited by Mr. J. Hawkins, a gentleman whose misfortune, (having lost the use of his organs of sight) if there were no other inducement, ought to command the patronage of the humane and benevolent. Independent of this, however, the contents of the first number consist of a well-chosen variety of original essays, adapted to a diversity of states, and evincive of the co-operation of numerous talents. Unsuccessful as such works have hitherto been in America, it is to be hoped, that one recommended by its own merit, and from the circumstan-
ces of its conductor appealing powerfully to the sensibility of the public, will not be suffered to languish for want of a trifling pecuniary support.

Murdered, at Charleston, S. C. Capt. John Mackenzie, formerly of New-York. He was wounded by one Richard Jones, and a set of similar assassins.

On being presented with an Apple by a Young Lady.
An Apple caus'd our present state, And by the inevitable fate Condemn'd us all to die! But if that Apple was so fine, And came from such a hand as thine, Who from its charms could fly?
