Received at New-York, by the brig Clio , Capt. Bourne , from Bourdeaux, and ship Connecticut , Capt. Hillyer , from Liverpool, in very short passages.
Official Account of the Surrender of Cairo.
LONDON, AUGUST 22. Dispatches from the Hon. Sir Jones Hely Hutchinson, transmitted in a letter of Lord Elgin to the right Hon. Lord Hawkesbury, have this day been received at the office of Lord Hobart, one of the principal secretaries of state.
H. Q. at the Camp of Gizeh, June 29.
THE combined armies, on the 21st inst. were on both sides of the river. The English troops, and those of the Gizeh, on the left of the Nile whilst the army of the grand Vizier, pushed forward and took a position almost within gun shot of Cairo. On the morning of the 22nd, the enemy sent a flag of truce, offering to evacuate Cairo and its forts, under certain conditions.—After a negotiation of several days, which was conducted by brigadier general Hope, with great skill and address, the city and forts were surrendered under the conditions I have the honor hereby to transmit to you.
At 5 o'clock last evening we took possession of the gate of Gizeh as well as of the fort of Sulkuski, which commands Cairo from the side of the river. The exchange of hostages, having taken place, the place is to be evacuated entirely in about ten days.
I have reason to suppose, that there are about 6000 troops in the place, but having not received any statement yet, I am uncertain as to this point.
The service was hard and fatiguing; the troops have suffered much by the heat, by the difficulties of the navigation of the river, and the badness of the roads in the country. But both officers and men have supported it with a great deal of patience, and have manifested a zeal which is above all eulogy, to the honor of his majesty's arms.
I am under great obligations to quarter master general Anstruther, for the zeal and ability he displayed for the public service under the most difficult circumstances. The generals Cradock and Doyle, who were employed under my immediate command, have rendered me great services, and I take the liberty of recommending them to his majesty's favor.
Capt. Stevenfon of the marines, has shown a great deal of activity and patience during this long march; he has done all he could to furnish us with provisions; and, in fact, without his assistance, we could not have advanced. Your lordship will recollect, that the river is extremely low, at this season; that the mouth of the Nile is impracticable for days together, and that the distance from Rosetta to Cairo is from 160 to 170 miles. Captain Stevenfon has been well aided by the captains Morrison, Curry and Hillyer, who were employed under him. Their service was not brilliant, but I hope it will not be forgotten, that it was not the less useful, and that it required a constant attention and vigilance. It lasted for some weeks, connected with extreme labor and fatigue.
These dispatches will be delivered to you by major Montresor, who, since our arrival in this country, has lived with me in great intimacy, and is able to give your lordship every necessary account of the situation of our affairs in this country. I take the liberty of recommending him to your lordship's protection, as an officer of merit, and to his majesty's favor.
I have the honor, &c. J. H. HUTCHINSON, Maj. Gen.
[The terms of capitulation are comprised in 21 articles: in which it was agreed, that the French troops and their auxiliaries should march to Rosetta, along the left of the Nile, in order there to be embarked for the French ports in the Mediterranean, at the expence of the allied powers; that the members of the administration, and commission of arts and sciences, should be at liberty to take with them, not only all the papers relative to their mission, but all their private papers, and every other article connected with them; that such of the inhabitants of Egypt, who were disposed to follow the French troops, were at liberty to do so, and their families, after their departure, should not be molested, nor their property confiscated; that the sick, who were unable to proceed with the army should be sent to an hospital and when recovered, transported to France at the expence of the allied powers. The part of Egypt evacuated by Gen. Bailyard, consists of the city and citadel of Cairo, the forts of Boulac, Giza, &c.]
LONDON, AUG. 24. Advices have been received in town of a later date than the dispatches from Gen. Hutchinson. They state that the convention of Cairo had already been begun to be carried into execution, and that the two English
and French armies were returning towards Rosetta, marching in parallel lines. Of Menou's determination in consequence of the convention of Cairo, these advices make no mention.
The surrender of Cairo was celebrated at Constantinople in a very splendid manner and with the greatest rejoicings. No intelligence has yet arrived of the effect which the Convention of Cairo has produced upon Menou. Alexandria, however, cannot hold out long. The five transports belonging to Gantheume which were captured, are said to have on board 800 men. The Grand Signior lately presented Lord Elgin with a superb agrette, adorned with brilliants, a horse richly caparisoned, and several other articles of great value.
LONDON, AUG. 28.
British Naval Expeditions.
Ld. Nelson arrived yesterday morning in the Downs, with his squadron. We are informed that his Lordship was on Monday off Middleburg, where he lay to the whole day. On Tuesday he went on board a cutter to reconnoitre Flushing and the adjacent coast; but it is rumoured, found it too strong to be attacked with any probability of success.
We do not yet know whether Lord Nelson means to visit the ports of Picardie, of Flanders, or of Holland, first—probably they all come within his plans—for on the 18th, in his general orders, he promised to annihilate the enemy's flotilla.—Certain it is, that the dispositions made by the enemy, exact a degree of activity equal to that of the admiral. The flotillas multiply all along the opposite coast; and although the port of Dunkirk was blockaded, 35 vessels succeeded last week in getting out, and have actually arrived at Boulogne.
Another flotilla was met on the 16th, near St. Marcou, by our cruisers—a firing took place, on both sides without effect, and the French boats were obliged to enter La Hogue and Cherbourg; at length a division was intercepted stealing from Dieppe for Boulogne—we engaged them near St. Valery, and, in spite of the fires of the batteries, we took three, and sunk three others.
The preparations along the Dutch and French coasts still continue, and their ostensible object is defence against any attack from our fleet. No less than 100,000 men are said to be collected betwixt Dunkirk and Brest, but we believe this number is exaggerated.
French official account of the second attack on Boulogne.
Ad. Latouche to the Minister of Marine. BOULOGNE, AUG. 16.
Ld. Nelson again made his appearance yesterday with several ships of the line, and a great number of frigates, brigs, pinnaces, gun-boats, &c. He anchored at the distance of 3000 toises from the leading division, which still kept its original position about 500 toises from the mouth of the harbour. I had augmented it by one section, and had strengthened it by the addition of several bomb ships. I could easily perceive in the evening that the enemy meditated an attack, their ships being surrounded with boats and small craft of all sizes. I had therefore ordered several boats to keep watch that I might have timely notice of the approach of the enemy.—About three quarters of an hour after 12, one of the boats discovered the enemy, and was immediately attacked. The firing opened with uncommon briskness on both sides;—the bombs, the cannon and the musketry presented amid the waves a spectacle truly grand. The land batteries could be of no assistance to us, for fear of firing upon our own boats. The enemy had embarked from two to three thousand men in pinnaces and boats. Six of these attacked the Etna gun-boat, carrying Capt. Pireux, who commanded the division, and killed two English sailors with his own hand. Almost all the gun-boats of the leading division were at the same time boarded by the English pinnaces; but these every where found the same resistance—every where they were repulsed. The bravest of the English who attempted to board were either thrown into the sea or made prisoners. The farthest off gun brig on our right, the Vulcan was attacked again and again, but always repulsed the enemy. The gun-boat the Surprise, commanded by Lieut. Carrau, run down four of the enemy's pinnaces, and took a considerable number. While these things were going on in front, a division of the enemy attempted to get between us and the shore. Here, as at Algeriras the English were the dupes of this manœuvre.—Our boats accompanied the retreat of the enemy with a heavy cannonade, which did no cease till four in the morning, when the English had got beyond gun shot. Of the enemy's boats eight were run down and four pinnaces were taken. I must be within bounds when I state their loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, at four or five hundred men. Every moment the dead bo-
dies of the English are cast up upon the beach. The battalions of the 46th, 57th and 108th, embarked in the leading division, covered themselves with glory. I shall not fail to send you the names of those brave fellows who deserve to be particularly distinguished by the Chief Consul. On our side we had ten men killed and thirty wounded.— Moniteur .
The English, after having burned the depot of naval stores, as I wrote you on the 31st, attacked a division of flat-bottomed boats, that sailed from St. Valery to join our flotilla—they took 3 and drove 4 on shore.—We are as yet ignorant of the killed and wounded on either side. Our division could receive no assistance from the land—our troops cantoned in the neighbourhood having arrived too late.
A division of from 30 to 40 sail of flat-bottomed and gun boats, which we expected to join the flotilla at Boulogne, are blockaded in Calais by 12 ships of war.
Nothing can be more interesting than the present moment. In Boulogne we have but 2 ships of the line, one frigate, two brigs, and three or four cutters.
DEAL, SEPT. 1. Admiral Nelson still continues in the Downs, with his flag flying on board the Amizon frigate.
BLOCKADE OF TRIPOLE.
The American Consul resident here has been directed by Mr. Cathcart, the Consul of the United States at Tripoli, to give all publicity to the following—
"Consulate of the United States of America at Tunis, July 25th. "The Bey of Tripoli having declared war against the United States, our government has sent a flotilla to prevent the regency from injuring our commerce. In consequence we are to inform the Agents of all Powers at peace with us, that Tripoli is now blockaded by the said American flotilla, and that every ship whatever, which shall attempt to enter the port, will be treated conformably to the laws of nations applicable to such cases."
(Signed) "W. Eaton, Consul at Tunis."
NEGOTIATION.
LONDON, AUG. 25. Never since the commencement of the negotiation was the correspondence more active between the two governments than it is at present. Two packets failed for Calais on Friday—one arrived at Dover on Friday night, another yesterday. The latter brought us the Paris papers to the 20th inst.
RIGHT OF SEARCH.
The Moniteur of the 26th contains a copy of the Convention concluded at St. Peterburgh between this country and Russia. Hitherto we had only been acquainted with the general outline and substance of the Treaty. Our government, we believe, delayed making the precise terms known till the ratifications had been exchanged. The short account given of it some time ago was correct. The Convention is not merely a Convention for settling the difference between G. Britain and Russia, but for determining the neutral question, settling the mode to be adopted in future wars.
Ships of either of the Contending powers which shall be neutral, may navigate freely to the ports, and on the coasts of nations at war. The cargoes of those ships are to be free, with the exception of contraband of war and enemy's property. Articles deemed contraband are specified, but it is agreed, "That merchandise of the produce, growth or manufacture of countries at war, which merchandise shall have been acquired by the subjects of the neutral power, and shall be transported on their account," shall not be considered enemy's property.
The right of search of merchant ships, sailing, under convoy of a ship of war, is limited to ships of war, and is never to be exercised by privateers. Particular rules are laid down with respect to convoys, and the exercise of the right of search.
LONDON, AUG. 29.
A Treaty of Peace has been signed at Paris between the French Republic and the Elector of Bavaria.
A French frigate, the Ceres , and six of her convoy, has been taken in the Mediterranean, after an obstinate resistance.
We received this morning, by express, the Paris papers to the 25th inst. The most remarkable intelligence brought by them is the great and rapid rise in the French Funds. On the 21st, they were 43 3/4; on the 22nd, they rose to 46; and on the 23rd to 48. For such a rise we are unable to account. There is no news in the papers that could have occasioned it, nor indeed is there any article of importance in them.
Yesterday a report by no means favourable to Peace was in circulation. It was said our Minister had sent an
ultimatum. These rumours, however unlikely, occasioned a fall of half per cent in the public funds.
Sir J. B. Warren's arrival on the Italian coast has wholly changed the face of affairs with respect to the siege of Porto Ferrajo. The French had sent three frigates to cover the siege. As soon, however, as the admiral made his appearance, the three frigates attempted to make their escape. Two of them succeeded, the other (the Ceres ) was taken. Several ships were also taken near Piombino, and part of a French flotilla, with troops for the little Isle of Elba was destroyed. The French who were encamped at Longone, to carry on the siege of Porto Ferrajo, are now besieged themselves, and as they cannot receive supplies from Leghorn, must, it is supposed, surrender. Several ammunition wagons, and the war chest, have also fallen into our hands.
The island of Zante has been taken possession of by the English, at the request of the inhabitants.
Plymouth, August 25.—Letters from Dartmouth state the arrival there of a large American ship, with East India goods, worth 50,000 per manifest, from the Mauritius to New York and Havre-de-Grace. She has on board a French supercargo and ten French passengers: She was detained by the admiral Mitchell cutter.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.
The Board of Health of this city, having received information of the existence of the yellow fever in the city of Norfolk and New-York, have ordered that all vessels arriving from thence, shall come to, and be examined at the Lazaretto.
By letters from Teneriffe we are informed in consequence of the British merchants having made contracts for a prodigious quantity of wine, say two thirds of the present vintage, that article is considerably advanced. Similar speculations have been made at Fayal; in consequence it is supposed of the trade between England and Portugal being, for the present put a stop to.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 9.
On the 3d inst. in the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia for Washington County, the Grand Jury returned the bill of indictment against the Editor of the National Intelligencer, charged with a libel against the Judiciary of the United States, IGNOTAMUS.
Allese Simpson, a lady of Bertie county, has offered (in the Halifax N. C. Journal) a reward of 100 dollars on delivering to her, or securing in goal, her husband, who it seems has deserted her and married Charity O'Daniel, a young lady of Halifax county. After mentioning that he had eloped from her bed side, without any provocation whatever, she gives the following laughable description of him and his companion:—John Simpson is a man of dark complexion a low stature, brown hair, black eye-brows, light colored beard, and an everlasting tobacco chower; his fore teeth very dark and rusty, &c. &c. His companion, Charity, of usual height about the age of eighteen, thick and full fledged, light complexion, very freckled, and a large bushy head of rusty red hair.
HARTFORD, Oct. 12.
His Excellency Governor TRUMBULL, in his speech to the Legislature makes the following remarks:—
"Amidst the political agitations which prevail in the United States at the present moment; in consequence of which men's minds are disturbed with appearances sometimes doubtful, often times discouraging, whereby they become liable to be misled by the influence of passion and prejudice, it is with deep concern I too frequently hear, from various quarters, intimations given, expressing doubts respecting the continuance of the present union of these States. Reasons almost innumerable suggest themselves to my consideration, and will doubtless occur, on reflection, to every candid and dispassionate mind, to repel with aversion, all hasty ideas of this kind, so destructive of our public peace and harmony, and so adverse to our social happiness and private prosperity. Should any one hesitate in according to this sentiment, I would point him to the observations on this subject made by our late venerable WASHINGTON, in his sage and important address to the people of these United States—a subject on which he has dilated with peculiar energy, and with more than his wonted earnestness. And reading
these impressive sentiments, let every dispassionate man ask himself these serious questions. Are not these reasons, for the unity of our Government, given by our departed Hero, and disinterested Friend and Patriot, irresistible? And shall I not subscribe to them with equal ardour and earnestness? And with fixed resolutions to exert my utmost abilities in support of this important and interesting object?—The reply from every one, I presume, will be prompt and affirmative. In addition to the reasons suggested in this estimable address, we may also consider, that if one division of the Union, is admitted, it is not within the wisdom or foresight of man to discover, how many subdivisions the first step of separation may lead to;—each division and subdivision increasing the spirit of disunion and restlessness, until all Union, Subordination, Peace, Tranquility and Order are at an end, or sunk in anarchy and confusion. Rather than indulge, ourselves therefore, in passionate expressions of sentiment or resentment, on any perplexing occurrences which present themselves in our political arrangements, should we not better cherish a hope, that by prudent reflection and timely experience, disagreeable circumstances may be corrected, or discouraging fears and doubts may be dispelled?—Circumstances not altogether conformable to our present wishes, are oftentimes productive of the happiest events—overruled by the Goodness of that Power, who knows how to bring Good out of Evil, and Wisdom out of Error.—Numerous instances within our own recollection, and within the experience of twenty or thirty years past, will witness the truth of this observation.
"In all our troubles and perplexities, I am persuaded that superintending Providence which watched over our American Revolution—which has guided us since in many perils and dangers, and which has eventually led to the adoption of the present Union and Constitution of Government, will not forsake its own work, but will still direct us in our future way, however dark and devious it may sometimes appear to our scanty views;—for doubtless our Country is destined to take its turn of political Greatness and Prosperity, upon the stage of Human Action, as well as ultimately to sink in Folly, Vice and Decline."
BOSTON, October 15.
Information having been received, at the board of health, of the existence of a contagious fever at Charleston, Norfolk and New-York, orders have been issued for stopping all vessels and persons from those places at Rainford's Island, for the purposes of fulfilling the regulations of the laws of quarantine.
The United States frigate Boston, Capt. M'Neill, in dropping out of the East River, at New-York, went on the reef near the Battery; but fortunately has been got off, without much damage. Having grounded at high water, it was rendered necessary to take out her guns, and start her water casks.
Gen. Lacrosse, Governor of Guadalupe, in a letter to an official character at Washington, dated Sept. 1, 1801, says, "A report prevails in the neighboring islands, that the negroes and mulattoes of this colony are in insurrection. Don of give it the smallest credit. Cultivation and trade are in an increasing state of prosperity. The only ground for that rumour may be the circumstance of three confreries of colour, who, in a striking instance, infringed the laws of discipline, and have been condemned to the irons."
State of Disease.
The Charleston papers make no mention of the fever there; though they record an increased number of deaths.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Charleston, to his correspondent in N. York, dated 22d Sept.
"You may inform your neighbours that the sickness continues to rage here with great violence. I hope nothing will induce them to add to our long list of mortality."
Of the fever at Norfolk, Mr. Cowper, the Mayor says, in a publication dated the 28th September, "that until about ten days before, the town was uncommonly healthy; but that then the weather became extremely hot, and a great number of vessels arriving brought in a vast influx of persons to whose constitutions the autumnal climate is known to be very hostile." Of these several took the fever and deceased; and the Mayor further informs, that from the 26th to the 28th, thirteen died; but the cool weather afforded a well grounded hope, that in a very short time the town would again be restored to health.
WALPOLE, Oct. 6.
We hear that a hunting match took place on the 22d ult. at Charlestown, 20 hunters on a side, and that they killed 1859 squirrels.

Further Foreign Intelligence,
By the Connecticut, arrived at New York. London dates to September 2d.
PETERSBURG, JULY 30.
CITIZEN Durac, the French Ambassador, having failed in the object of his mission, at this Court, is about to leave Russia for Stockholm. Count Markow is to succeed Count Kalitschew, at Paris; but will pass some time on his estates to arrange his affairs, before he sets out for France. All games of hazard are prohibited by the Emperor; and the Italian and German comedians have been dismissed. The trade between Astracan and India is rapidly reviving; great quantities of India goods have arrived over land.
ROME, JULY 25.
The Sovereign Pontiff held a Consistory a few days since; at which he created nine Cardinals, and named besides to eighteen vacant Bishoprics, several of which are in the Cisalpine and French Republics.
The new Pope, Pius VII. was the Cardinal CHIARAMONTE, who was born Aug. 11, 1742, elected March 24, 1800.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 9.
Three divisions of French troops are in march for Dunkirk and Boulogne; 600 horse chasseurs, 200 horse-artillery, three companies of foot-artillery, and three battalions of light-infantry, with a large train of artillery, ammunition-waggons, &c. to join the grand army destined for the invasion of England.
HAMBURGH, AUG. 1.
The negotiation between England and France is not likely speedily to terminate in peace. It is said Bonaparte demands that England shall surrender Gibraltar to the Spaniards! !!
AUG. 28.
Letters have been received from Smyrna by an opulent Greek banking house, at Vienna, stating, that General Menou had informed General Hutchinson that he would surrender the fortress and harbor of Alexandria to the Anglo-Turkish forces, if in the course of six weeks he received no succours from France. According to the reports of some deserters from Menou's division, they were in extreme want of water and various necessaries, but particularly medicines for the sick. Menou is said to have requested a limited supply of the articles of which he is most destitute, until the expiration of that period. This proposal Gen. Hutchinson rejected: signifying to the French Commander, that he would grant him no longer than ten days to surrender Alexandria, on the same terms given to the French at Cairo; but that afterwards he must surrender at discretion.
Gen. Hutchinson had, by all accounts received a reinforcement of 7000 men, with which he hoped to terminate the war in Egypt in a few weeks. Should Menou refuse to surrender on the terms proposed to him, it is intended to carry Alexandria by storm.
VIENNA, AUG. 14.
Several Greek commercial houses have received letters from Smyrna, and other places in Turkey, the news that a considerable number of English and Turkish vessels had failed from before Alexandria, in order to oblige the Dey of Algiers to pay the arrears of tribute he owes to the Porte. The letters which bring this news add, that it had been agreed between the Turks and the English to unite their forces, when the expedition to Egypt shall have terminated, to put at least a period to the piracies exercised by the Barbary States.
Count Philip Cobentzel proceeds immediately as Ambassador to Paris; and Count Saurau to St. Petersburg. Champigny, the French Ambassador, resides in the hotel improved by the French Ministers under the ancient monarchy.
LONDON, AUG. 16.
The Negotiation for Peace is at present carried on in Paris between Mr. Merry the British Agent, and the French Minister for Foreign Affairs. Our Government, we have reason to believe, are sanguine as to the issue, yet with credible and cautious vigilance are preparing for the alternative with a degree of decision alone to be equalled by the moderation and temper with which they have sought the attainment of peace. In addition to the Supplementary Militia and Volunteer Corps which are every where organizing for effective service, arrangements are making for raising the country en masse, should circumstances render such a measure necessary; the Sheriffs of some counties have already issued their precepts for ascertaining the numbers within their several districts capable of bearing arms, and for establishing every possible facility to the immediate assembling of the posse comitatus in the event of the invasion.
EVACUATION OF CAIRO.
The Convention for the evacuation of Egypt, by Gen. Belliard, was negotiated by Brigadier Gen. Hope, on the part of Gen. Hutchinson; by Osman Bey, on the part of the Grand Vizier; by Isaac Bey on the part of the Captain Pacha; and by Brigadiers-General Dougelot, Maraud, and Taracé. It was signed at "the place of conference between the two armies, the 27th June, 1801, or of the Hierera Saffar, 1216, or the 8th Mesidor, 9th year of the French Republic." The 20th article evinces, that Belliard considered the French cause in Egypt as desperate. "Art. 20. The present convention shall be carried and communicated by a French officer to Gen. Menou at Alexandria, and shall be at liberty to accept of it for the French and auxiliary forces (both naval and military) which may be with him at the above mentioned place, provided his acceptance of it shall be notified to the General commanding the English troops before Alexandria within ten days from the date of the communication being made to him."
LONDON, AUG. 28.
Transport ships for Egypt are under sailing orders. The Austrian government, at the desire of the French, has issued orders, that the British cruisers in the Adriatic be refused provisions; but the English, at the request of the inhabitants, have taken possession of the island of Zante.
SEPT. 2. The Hon. Mr. Paget, failed yesterday for Calais. He is going to replace Lord Minton, at Vienna; but it is rumoured he will remain a short time at Paris. He has the permission of the French government to traverse through France—which favour has been obtained by Mr. Otto, at Mr. Paget's particular request.
Admiral Pole is appointed to the command of the Mediterranean fleet, in the room of Lord Keith.
OF INDIA.
A letter received from Bengal informs us, that the Siamese army consists of a very considerable number of cavalry, and is accompanied by upwards of four hundred elephants. An alarming insurrection is said to prevail in Cowlumpi, whither the army is directing its march, together with the Southern army, which had been encamped at Parcella. Zemoun Shah has at length formed an alliance, offensive and defensive, with the Seiks. He has engaged to give up all the places he reduced in his late incursion into the territories of the Seiks, and to make compensation for the ravages committed by his army at Lahore. The natives of Candahar and Cabul are amongst the hardest in Asia, and Zemoun Shah has a well appointed army of 100,000 men.
According to private letters received from Bombay, the Mahrattas and the Rajah of Coriar, whose country has been almost depopulated by war, have at length adjusted their differences. The Rajah has engaged to pay two thousand rupees, and the Mahrattas undertake to restore twenty bullocks and buffaloes, which they had taken. The Mahrattas had possessed themselves of Mirzapoor, the antient capital of the country. This Rajah of Coriar is about sixty years of age, and has all the appearance of the Cholian Mountaineer, but he is of a very mild disposition.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 12.
The Boston frigate has been got off the rocks, without any material damage.
The Resident Physician informs the public, that the cases of the fever reported to him since the 7th, are but few; and that since then, twenty-three persons have died of malignant fever.
BOSTON, October 17.
We may speedily expect a "new order of things" in France. Gen. Murat (brother-in-law to Bonaparte) publishes to the world his respect for monarchical principles; and M. Pichon, French Charge des Affaires to the United States, publicly denounces the report of his having given encouragement to the circulation of Godwin's works, as a reproach on his character. These things bode well to state and church in France.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY Caleb Strong, Esq. Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A PROCLAMATION FOR A DAY OF PUBLIC THANKSGIVING.
AS we are under the highest obligations for the goodness of the Supreme Being, in giving this land to us and our fathers, in upholding our lives with such variety of his bounty, in appointing his Son to lay a foundation for our happiness, and in bestowing numberless favors upon the
people of this State in the course of the last year; it becomes us, at the close of it, to render our joint tribute of adoration and praise, to that great and constant Benefactor, who has daily loaded us with benefits, and who pours comforts upon all that live:
Therefore, with the advice and consent of the Council, I appoint THURSDAY, the twenty-sixth day of NOVEMBER next, to be observed through the Commonwealth as a day of public Thanksgiving and Praise; and the Ministers and People of every denomination are requested to assemble on that day, in their respective places of public Worship, that we may devoutly present to the LORD our Maker, the affectionate gratitude of our hearts, for all the goodness which he has caused to pass over us; for the support and accommodation of our lives; for the continuance of our civil and religious liberty; for the unusual degree of health which He has granted to us; and for the means we possess of attaining and diffusing useful knowledge. And that He has been pleased to give us rain in due season, and to cause the earth to yield her increase in abundance; that He has prospered our Commerce, Navigation & Fisheries; that he has given us peace in our borders, and quietness and safety in our dwellings; and that he has crowned the year with his goodness, and caused our cup of blessings to run over.
And, while with grateful emotions we contemplate the scenes of prosperity, let us humble ourselves before Him for our innumerable offences, and earnestly beseech Him, that he would forgive us, and make us still the objects of His divine favour; that with the bounties of nature he would grant us the blessings of grace, and that he would animate us to a temper and conduct, which may correspond with the benefits we have received, and the felicity after which we are encouraged to aspire. That He would smile upon our University, Colleges and Schools, and succeed the means of religious and moral instruction. That He would direct and prosper the Government of the United States, and that the President, and all others who are employed in its important offices, may discharge their respective duties with prudence, integrity and patriotism. That the Governments of the several States may do all that is incumbent upon them, to preserve union, order and tranquility; and that the whole People may duly estimate the advantages by which they are distinguished. That He would restrain the rage of contending nations, and that the great events which are taking place may be made subservient to the triumph of the Gospel, and the happiness of mankind; and that the period may arrive, when violence and oppression shall cease, and righteousness shall be established in all the earth; when the different nations of men shall be united in the bonds of brotherly love; when every species of false Religion shall disappear, and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
And the inhabitants of the State are earnestly requested to abstain from such labour and recreation as are inconsistent with the solemnities of the said day.
Given at the Council Chamber in Boston, this fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and one, and in the twenty-sixth year of the Independence of the United States of America.
Caleb Strong.
By His Excellency's Command, with the advice and the consent of the Council.

The French Gen. Val, who is lately returned from Egypt to France, has presented to the Chief Consul an antique torso of the greatest beauty. It represents the body of a youth of 15, worked quite anatomically. It was found, in the Delta, and is supposed to originate from the Babylonian Temple. Connoisseurs value it as the most exquisite piece of sculpture that has been found by the French in Egypt. The hieroglyphics with which it is covered are perfectly well preserved.

OF JASON FAIRBANKS.
Extract of a letter from Massachusetts. "Although the unfortunate story of Eliza Fales must have reached your ear, I have reason to believe that many particulars, attending this horrid crime, will be novel to you. Such is the delicacy observed in our country, respecting reports previous to trial in capital cases, that it is difficult to arrive at facts till the last moment of trial.—But to give you a part of this melancholy story:—"
"Fairbanks had been seduced, about, 2 years previous to his becoming a murderer, by some European travellers, and joined a society of Jacobin Deists, who held their meetings in this town. Among other of their tenets, they avowed, that a rigid observance of chastity in man or woman, was ridiculous, being contrary to natural impulse; and that any means were proper where the object or end was right: that the monopoly of a female by one man, was as absurd as any other of the ridiculous doctrines of Priestcraft—that all nature cried out against such folly."
"To cure Miss Fales of her ridiculous folly, Goodwin's works, and others of the same kind, were loaned to her by Fairbanks. Her friends saw the snare, and cautioned her to beware of the villain. She resented their suspicions of her want of firmness, and fell, as you have heard."
"I have only to add, that the associates of Fairbanks, to complete their crimes, rescued the murderer of injured innocence from goal—but God has not suffered him to escape."
LIVERPOOL.
The increased prosperity of this city and port, says an intelligent correspondent, is the admiration of every stranger who visits this place. It consists at present of no less than 580 streets, lanes and courts, whilst immense buildings are going forward; and some idea may be formed of its flourishing commerce from the vast number of merchant vessels cleared out from thence. It appears from the custom-house books, that from the 24th of June, 1800, to the 24th of June, 1801, 5,060 ships arrived there of the united burthen of 439,719 tons, which paid dock dues to the amount of 28,3651. 18s. 2d.

Yesterday the body of a man, by appearance, supposed to have been drowned about a fortnight, was found drifted up in Coleman's cove (so called) in Newington, it had on an outside blue jacket, a black waistcoat, checker'd shirt, blue trowsers, ribb'd woolen stockings and shoes tied with leather strings; there was nothing found in the pockets or upon the body which lead to a discovery who the person was; it appeared to be a middling stout man, about six feet high. A coroner's inquest was summoned, whose verdict was accidental death by drowning; the body was delivered to the selectmen of Newington, who had the same decently interred in the town burying ground. We are informed that a man by the name of Haley, belonging to Kittery, has been missing about a fortnight, supposed to have been drowned, we think it probable this may be the body of the same person.
IT is with feelings of painful regret, that we mention the death of Mr. GEORGE MASSY, of this town, aged 21, who died of the yellow fever on board the brig Mary, Capt. Pinkham, of this port, October 2d, 12 days out from St. Vincents. By this afflictive stroke of divine Providence, a fond mother weeps the irreparable loss of an only son; an affectionate father laments the premature death, of parental hopes; and a beloved sister mourns the beloved object of her tenderest regards. To these kindred charities of sympathetic flesh and blood, we might add a long list of deeply affected relations, sorrowing friends, and mourning acquaintances. Dutiful as a son; tender as a brother; sincere as a friend, and pleasing as a companion; amiable in manners; discreet in conversation, and virtuous in life—few have been equally beloved; and none more generally lamented.
For him, thro' life's embitter'd, future day, The fond maternal tear shall softly flow; And all a father's anguish'd feelings pay, The living tribute of impassion'd woe. For him, shall friendship weep; aff'ction sigh; And twice ten thousand thousand tears, be shed; And pity's dew, in beauty's maling eye, Impearl the wave, that mantles round his head. Ye tender Charities! ye mourning friends! Why fix the gaze, on yon cerulean wave? Behold, the youn', to Heaven's high court ascends! 'Tis dust alone, that found a woful grace. No billowy depths, can hold the deathless mind, Th' immortal spirit, leaves the flood behind.
