AUG. 13. Spoke a British letter-marque ship of 20 guns, called the General Nicholl, Capt. Morrison, belonging to Grenada, and then bound to the Grand Cayes, she was manned by English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Americans, &c. The Capt. was ordered on board with his papers; the Capt of the ship without examining them put them in his chest and went himself on board the brig, he there beat, with his hanger every sailor on board, ordering them at the same time to declare the property to be French; finding such treatment in vain, he took the mate and every sailor out of the brig except one sick man, and manned her with his officers and sailors and made sail for the Cayes; our mate observing to him that it was a shame, to abuse neutral sailors as he had done, he replied that we were all a parcel of Yankee Rascals and put the mate in irons hands and feet. After giving us every possible trouble and ill treatment, he was prevailed on to examine the papers, after which at 10 P. M. he sent us on board the brig, the prize master and mate which were put on board the brig were Americans and void of principle or humanity, took away the Captain's spyglasses and many other articles.
SEPTEMBER 8.
Capt. Adams, arrived at Gloucester, from Martinique, in lat. 40. long. 67. was boarded from the piratical French privateer which lately sailed from Marblehead, and robbed of his light sails, a barrel beef, and some small articles. The officer told Capt. Adams he should make a prize of him, were it not that expecting to fall in with some Indians, he did not wish to be detained. [Continued.]
The French privateer lately sailed from Marblehead, on the 20th ult. boarded a brig from Lisbon, and after examining her papers and taking a box of Lemons, dismissed her.
American Naval Articles.
Yesterday the United States frigate CONSTELLATION, was launched at Baltimore.
The frigate UNITED STATES, at Philadelphia, having received a little damage in launching has been hove down and repaired. The Marines are mostly enlisted, and sailors offer in considerable numbers.
The frigate CONSTITUTION, building in this town, will, without doubt, be launched within 20 days. Every thing for her early equipment is in readiness. We are told fifty dollars have been offered for part of a house near the Navy-Yard, for a view of the Launching.
Dispatches from Mr. Pinckney, were received last week, by the Lydia. Goodrich, from Amsterdam, at N. York.
Several Coiners of dollars & parts of dollars, and forgers of Bank Notes have been committed to Philadelphia gaol.
From New-Haven, Aug. 30.
Capt. Amos White from the West-Indies, in lat. 21. spoke the brig Sally, G. H. Atkins, bound to Boston, who had been captured by an English privateer, and in their possession 30 hours, when Capt. Atkins and crew rose on the Captors, re-took the vessel, and landed the prisoners at St. Thomas's.
Method of tempering EDGE TOOLS of too brittle a quality.
FROM A LATE FRENCH PUBLICATION.
HAVING bought a neat knife, and payed handsomely for it. I found that whenever I attempt to cut wood, or any hard substance, the edge broke, this accident often repeated, soon made a flaw of my blade. I complained to the cutler, who very seriously told me that it was a sure sign of the goodness of my knife. He finished by sharpening it, and receiving his sixpence. This grinding happening so frequently as to become more tedious than costly, & at last reduced my knife to nearly the size of a large needle. A new blade was fitted to the handle—the same accident happened to it—it proved again too brittle a temper: my patience now become tired, and I had almost determined to lay the knife aside, the handle of which I only regretted, when an itinerant scissars grinder gave me an effectual receipt.—To plunge the blade up to the handle in boiling tar, for two hours, and then take it out, to let it cool gradually. I followed his directions, and my knife cuts the hardest wood ebony, box, even bone its edge now resists.

Late Foreign News,
BY ARRIVALS AT BOSTON.
ITALY, June 26.
The King of Naples, at the pressing instance of the French, to fulfil the secret articles of his treaty, has paid them one million of livres.
MILAN, June 20.
A company of patriots, to the number of 1000, in the Valteline, a frontier country of Switzerland, have taken an oath to live free or die, in union with the Cisalpine Republic.
GENOA, June 17.
On the 14th inst. when the new government was instituted here, trees of liberty were planted before the palace of the Doge, and in other parts of the city. The two Colossal Statues of Andrew and John Doria, which stood before that palace, were thrown down, and the heads and hands broken off and hung on the tree of liberty. In the evening the golden book, in which the names of the nobles are registered, the ducal Mantle, and all the Insignia of the Doge, except the crown and sceptre, were burnt, the music playing Ca ira. The Doge is now called Citizen President Doge. The sceptre, crown, and canopy of the Throne, are intended for an offering to the image of the virgin in the Cathedral. Four committees have been appointed for foreign affairs, the finances, &c. The State inquisitors, and the council of the galleys, have been abolished; and all armorial bearings of the nobility, forbidden. All liveries, and other signs of servitude, are to be laid aside under the penalty of 1000 dollars.
Four hundred and fifty persons who had been arrested on account of the transactions of the 23d of May, have been set at liberty, and a proclamation has been issued to render thanks to Gen. Buonaparte for restoring the people of Genoa to their rights.
VIENNA, July 1.
The French Gen. Gentili, who sailed with a squadron from Venice, has arrived at the Venetian Island Corfu, where he has published a proclamation inviting the inhabitants to set up a republican government. He represents to them, that they are the descendants of the Grecian Republics, which produced so many heroes and great men.
This proclamation has drawn considerable attention, and it is supposed will not be perfectly agreeable to the Turkish government, as the revolutionary principles advanced in it are applicable to many Turkish countries, as the Morea, Macedonia and the whole Archipelago.
BANKS OF THE VISTULA, July 5.
It is confirmed, that the affairs of Poland are irrevocably settled by the three dividing Powers. There does not remain the least shadow of probability that that country will ever be restored to its former political existence as a separate Kingdom.
PARIS, July 11.
The squadron under the orders of rear Ad. Brueys, which lately left Toulon, consists of Le Guillème Tell, and Le Tonnerre, of 80 guns; Le Aquilon, Le Mercure, Le Heureux, and Le Generaux, of 64 guns; and the frigates La Diane, and L'Julie, of 28 guns; together with a small packet boat. It is supposed to be destined for Corfu in the Gulph of Venice, in order to join seven other ships, and as many frigates, which are in that port.
The government of Holland has set on foot a voluntary loan of twelve millions of florins, at 5 per cent. interest. A third part of it may be subscribed in paper, that is, in bills on the East India company, or in provincial receipts created in 1796, &c.
An emigrant protested against the sale of the trees in Belgium. On being asked the reason, he said, that so many would be cut down, that there would not remain sufficient to hang all the Republicans on.
The minister of police has informed certain well known deputies, that the apprehensions of a movement at Paris are without foundation; but that according to the report of their agents, they ought to guard themselves against assassination.
JULY 18.
The negotiations still continue, both at Montebello and Lisle. Every thing leads us to believe that the re-
sult will be a solid and honorable Peace for the Republic. But we cannot but admire the pretensions of some men, in wishing to appear conversant with even the details of these Negotiations. Those at Lisle say they were almost terminated yesterday; they depend only upon the restitution of Trincomale, &c. &c. We may expect that in a very few days, they will give in the Articles of the Treaty of Peace—or at least those which they themselves will make.—The English Plenipotentiaries will treat for Portugal, those of the Republic for Spain and Holland.—(Redacteur.)
Talley and Perigord takes the place of Charles de la Croix, for Foreign Affairs. This appointment is the most happy omen of a General Peace.—(Perlet.)
LISLE, July 20.
The Peace between England and the French Republic will be subjected to greater formalities than that with the Emperor; though we are assured that the principal article, namely, the restoration of the French and Dutch Possessions conquered by the English, is nearly agreed on. It is likewise affirmed, that the Congress for the General Peace will not be held till after Peace has been concluded with England.
LONDON, July 15.
The extraordinary preparations for War on the part of the King of Prussia, of which we have received intelligence by the Brussels papers, now appears to have been undertaken with a view to hostilities with the court of Vienna. An important State paper which we find in a letter from Berlin, under the Paris head, may be considered as the prelude to the commencement of a War between Prussia and Austria.
We are sorry to learn, by every fresh communication which we receive from the continent, the further progress of the revolutionary spirit. An article from Basle brings an account of the breaking out of a revolution in the Valteline; and the letters from St. Marino mention, that the people has insisted on the abolition of titles, and every mark of Nobility.
JULY 16.
At a late hour last night, the Hamburg Mail due on Wednesday arrived.
The intelligence brought by the French papers, respecting the King of Prussia's having opposed the decree of the Aulic council against his usurpations in Franconia, is confirmed by the mail, which contains his proclamation on the subject. Every thing seems to threaten a rupture between the two courts of Berlin and Vienna.
Prague is putting in a complete state of defence.
According to letters from the frontiers of Piedmont, the troubles at Turin still continue to increase, and 10,000 French had marched for that capital.
From the frequent misrepresentations which have been made respecting the internal situation of Ireland, and particularly from quarters which might be entitled to some credit, we have felt it our duty to make every possible inquiry on that subject, and it is with peculiar pleasure that we can inform the public, that the latest accounts from that kingdom are of the most promising and satisfactory kind. We have received reports from various gentlemen resident on their own estates in the north of Ireland, that the state of each county with which they are acquainted, is changed so very much for the better, that they can hardly credit their own observation.—In return for the industry we have employed on so important an occasion, we have been favored with the sight of a letter from one of the most respectable merchants in Ireland, who has been travelling through the principal manufacturing towns in the north of that Kingdom, wherein he states, among many other favorable circumstances, that very many wealthy Bleachers, who had kept back from buying at any of the neighboring markets for six months past, have come forward and purchased considerably at the markets of Derry, Raphoe, and Strabane, and with hard Guineas.
Buonaparte employs daily 150,000 livres for the maintenance of his army, which the Italians pay.
JULY 18.
From Venice, under the date of the 27th ult. it appears that the go-
vernment has issued an order for raising a sum of two millions and a half on capitalists, and persons in easy circumstances; but that this evil may not be without its balance of good, they at the same time abolished the whole class of barristers and attorneys.
JULY 19.
On Monday Lord Bridport, with the fleet under his command, failed from Torbay.
It is a curious fact, that Manchester Goods to the amount of one hundred thousand pounds, have been just purchased for the French market, by one House, in the full confidence of an immediate Peace.
It is truly astonishing that the exact particulars of the preliminary Treaty between the Emperor and Buonaparte, should not yet be known, either in England or on the continent. A variety of circumstances concur to sanction the supposition, that, contrary to the first accounts, no stipulation has been made for the restitution of Mantua.
JULY 22.
The expedition at the Hague, would, it is stated in letters from that place of 10th inst. fail in eight or ten days after the date of them.
The following letter from an Officer on board Admiral Duncan's fleet, explains the circumstance of a flag of truce having been sent into the Texel by Ad. Duncan, as mentioned in our paper of yesterday.
"Off the Texel, July 15." The circumstance which gave rise to the flag of truce being sent into the Texel, was in consequence of the Dutch having captured one of our fishing vessels, which was afterwards re-captured by the Ganges. Ad. Duncan wrote word that our fleet would retaliate on their vessels, if this was encouraged. A very civil answer was brought back by a Capt. of one of the Dutch 64's, who, on coming on board Admiral Duncan's ship, was asked whether he served under the Dutch or French flag. (There is a French flag flying in the Texel, said to be Ad. Richery's) He seemed much hurt, and swore he never would fight under the French. He was very curious to learn the names of the different ships, and Ad. Duncan lent him his glass to make what observations he pleased. He called the Prince man of war a mighty huge ship, and took particular notice of the Sans Pareil and Cæsar.
"The Dutch ships appear to prepare for sailing, but they have done the same on many occasions. We do not think them in earnest, as all their transports still lie in the Inner Basin, where there are also 18 Indianmen. We do not credit their having many troops on board, though the number in the neighborhood is said to amount to 75,000 men."
"Admiral Duncan this day formed his fleet in a line of battle, in order to be prepared, should the enemy attempt to come out. We shall make a decisive blow at their transports, which are more an object of attention than the line of battle ships."
"We are very comfortably situated, as far as good health and subordination can afford us comfort. We catch such plenty of turbot and soles, that the seamen live mostly on fish."
In the French Council of 500, on the 12th of July, there was a considerable tumult on the reading of certain resolutions for restricting popular societies. They were finally agreed to.
"Ships which were carried away by the British fleet, or fitted out during our possession of Toulon."
Commerce de Marseille 120 guns; Le Pompee 74; Le Puissant 74; Le Perle 40; L'Arethuse 40; Aurora 32; La Topaze 32; La Poulette 26; Le Parfaisant 41; La Belle 26; La Profelite 24; La Sincere 20; Le Mulet 20; La Morcelle 20.
BURNT AT TOULON.
La Couronne 80 guns; Le Tonnerre 80; Le Triumphant 80; L'Heureux 74; Le Contour 74; Le Commerce de Bourdeaux 74; Le Destin 74; Le Lys 74; L'Heros 74; Le Themistocle 74; Le Duguay Trouin 74; Le Suffisant 74; Le Mercure 74; Le Conquerant 74; Le Disteator 74; Le Caroline 20; L'Auguste 20; Le Serieuse 32; Le Courageux 32; L'Iphigenie 32; L'Alerte 16; L'Iris 32; Le Montreal 32.
Some of the above Ships which were believed to be burnt, were afterwards recovered from the flames, and are now in the French service.
RESTRICTIONS ON POPULAR SOCIETIES.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED JULY 12.
Valentine Duplantier made a report on the popular societies, which he called arsenals of revolt, where men covered with the blood of their fellow citizens, prepare the means of overturning the constitutional government. He concluded by proposing the following projet :
Art. I. Those societies in which political questions shall be discussed—those which, under the pretext of public Worship, shall enter into a discussion of these questions, can be permitted only on condition that the proprietors or occupiers of the houses in which they shall be held, conform themselves to the following regulations:
II. Every citizen, having resided at the place where such society shall be established one year, may be admitted on the following conditions:
III. The communes where there are less than 5000 inhabitants, they are to be composed only of 10 citizens—In those of 5000, and under 20,000, of 20 citizens—In those of 20,000, and under 50,000 of 30 citizens; and in the four great communes of Paris, Lyons, Marfeilles, and Bourdeaux, of 40 citizens.
IV. These Societies shall be subject to the regulations of the police. They shall assemble only twice in each month. They are to break up at the sun-set.
V. In order to facilitate the measures of the police, the doors of the apartments in which such societies shall be held, shall have windows in them.
VI. The Directory and the administrations, shall have the right to dissolve them, when public tranquility shall appear to be in danger.
VII. The proprietors or occupiers of the houses in which such societies shall assemble, shall affix on the outside of such houses, "Popular Society engaged in the discussion of political questions."
Adopted, amidst a violent tumult.
"ALARMING SUGGESTION." In the sitting of the Council of Five Hundred on the 18th inst.—Willot said, that 8000 men were reported to be marching towards Paris, and moved to send a message to the Directory to know if it were true.—(Supported, cried many voices.)
Camille Jourdan supported the motion; said there was a conspiracy forming to assassinate the Representatives, and he was very uneasy on account of the conduct of some of the ministers. (His speech was received sometimes with murmurs, sometimes with applause.)
Dumolard supported the Motion, but treated the danger with contempt.
The motion was adopted. Savary renewed the discussion, and moved that a message be sent on the general situation of the republic. This was supported by Dumolard, Parisot, &c. and Tallien, who declared the necessity of dissolving the political societies, as contrary to the constitution. After some interesting debates, the following resolutions were decreed, and the discussion closed:
1. A report on the organization of the national guard, to-morrow. 2. That on the societies, the day after. 3. Third day, that on the responsibility of ministers and the directory. 4. That a message may be sent to the Directory, requiring an account of the state of Paris. 5. That the Directory shall also give some information on the general situation of the Republic.
Earthquake in South-America.
JAMAICA, July 15.
*Quito, Feb. 6, 1797.
Some account of the dreadful effects of the Earthquake at Quito and its neighborhood, on the 4th inst.
THIS dreadful calamity begun *Quito, a town of South-America, in Peru, seated in a pleasant valley, between two chains of high mountains called Cordillera-de-los-Andes, on much higher ground than the rest of Peru that is habitable, being above 300 yards higher than the level of the sea, according to exact observations. There are several religious communities, and two colleges, which are a sort of universities, under the direction of the Jesuits and Dominicans—with a bishop's see. It contains about 35,000 inhabitants, of which one third are original Spaniards. It is the seat of the treasurer of the kingdom, as well as of the other officers. Long. 77. 50. W. lat. 0. 13. S.
[Guthrie's Gaz.]
at Quito, at half past 7, A. M. & lasted, from the best calculation, upwards of three minutes. The elegant college of St. Fernando is in ruins. The large edifice of Santo Domingo is considerably damaged; the grand tower was broken into many pieces, and a number of the cells entirely destroyed; the student's school is in ruins. The high church of Del Carmen, one of the most elegant fabrics in the place is totally demolished. The tower of La Merced is nearly in the same state; it has been ordered to be pulled down. The church de la Concepcion has suffered considerable damage; indeed all the best buildings of the place are destroyed. None of the low buildings have received any damage.
At Facunga the earthquake began some time past seven o'clock, A. M. and the agitation of the earth continued until two o'clock, P. M. leaving the village entirely in ruins, not a building being left standing, except an arch in the great square and a part of a neighboring house.
The people who have perished are innumerable; the churches of St. Augustin, Santo Domingo, and La Merced, were crowded with people hearing mass, not one of whom were saved. The whole place opened into gullies, out of which large quantities of water issued. Don Francisco Camacho was swallowed up, and no account has been received of don Antonio Texado, who was with him.
The village of St. Philip, which is near to Facunga, is swallowed up; in this place there was a school with upwards of forty children, who have suffered the same fate.
There are different reports respecting the village of Anbato; it is said to be likewise in ruins.
The famous estate of the marquis de Miraflores, on which was a cloth manufactory, all his horses, and an elegant church, are entirely destroyed, and many lives lost.
Calera, an estate joining the Marquis's, is swallowed up, and scarcely the vestige of a house to be seen.
Alaques, Saguali, Pugili, Fachuci, and other considerable villages and estates are entirely ruined.
Machache, Alacai, Amaguana, Aivey & other villages in the neighborhood of Facunga, have suffered great damage.—Not a church is left standing in either of these places.
The mountains of Calopaci opened in several parts and issued great quantities of water: a small hill near to the city threw up vast heaps of stones.
This earthquake is said to be much severer than that which happened in the year 1755.
To add to the general consternation at Quito, it was affirmed the next day that an inhabitant of Guayaquil had brought accounts of fourteen English ships having arrived there; certain it is, that a person who came thence, passed on to Quinche, where the president is.
BARNARDSTON, Aug. 23. SOMETHING MARVELLOUS.
On Sunday last, between the hours of 5 and 7 A. M. was experienced the most extraordinary fall of rain, perhaps ever known in this country, in the like time. The centre of the shower appeared to be near the N. W. part of the town—The water descended in such torrents from the cloud, that in the space of a few minutes, the earth appeared to be under a general deluge.—The valleys were soon filled, and the streams, formed a flood which rose in the space of 30 minutes, perhaps ten times greater than ever was known before in the same streams. Nothing appeared to be able to resist its fury; large trees standing at a considerable distance from the usual course of the water, were almost instantaneously torn up by the roots, and swept away by the torrent, and out of six bridges and five mills that stood upon Fall River, one mill and one bridge only were left standing; and what evinced the amazing force of the torrent is, that even in the lesser streams, hundreds of rocks, some it is presumed of several hundred weight, were forced down the current, and are now to be seen at some distance from the water on dry land; and what is more extraordinary, the water in places burst out from the sides of hills, at places where water was never known to proceed from before, and formed streams of considerable magnitude; carrying earth, stones, and timber before them. The meadows and low lands were prodigiously torn in pieces, and covered with gravel and timber; the corn in many places was swept away, and the roads rendered almost impassable.

PARIS, July 12.
Vaublan in a speech which occupies eighteen pages of the "Moniteur" has denounced the West-India dilapidators and blood-drinkers. He is particularly severe on Santhonax, and charges Capt. Barney with having used the public forces to protect and carry on his private mercantile speculations.
Victor Hugues has also fallen under the lash of Delahaye.
LONDON, Aug. 1.
Yesterday the Hon. Mr. Wesley brother of Lord Mornington, and Secretary of the Embassy, arrived at the Secretary of State's office, with dispatches from Lord Malmesbury. He left Lisle on Saturday afternoon, and came to Dover on board the Dana packet. We have reason to believe that he brings the answer of the Executive Directory to the last propositions of our court, but nothing that can be relied on has transpired; all letters by the packet, and even the printed Journals, were stopped at Dover. There cannot be a doubt that Mr. Wesley's errand here concerns some very delicate points respecting the progress of the negotiation, which perhaps, could not be well communicated by ordinary dispatches; but, whether of such a nature as are likely to facilitate or retard the conclusion of peace, it would be vain to conjecture.
The numbers of French and Dutch privateers that at present infest the North Sea are incredible, and they have done a great deal of mischief.
The French, who have long threatened our little establishments at St. Marcou, have now mustered formidable arrangements for dispossessing us of those Islands: two frigates, two corvettes, and between 30 and 40 gun boats, many of them carrying mortars with 1500 men, are in readiness at Havre, for this service, moorings have been laid down Ifigny river, where this squadron is to form, and watch the absence of our frigates, viz. (the Stag, Pearl, Flora, and Cynthia sloop) when no effective opposition could be made to their attack: In the event of succeeding at these Islands, the squadron is to proceed to St. Maloes, to join in an expedition about to be undertaken against Jersey and Guernsey.
The hon. Mr. Wesley, who arrived from Lisle late on Monday night, is appointed Secretary to Lord Mornington, who goes out governor of Madras. Ellis succeeds Mr. Wesley, as Secretary to the embassy at Lisle.
Of the intelligence received by government from Lord Malmesbury, the different papers affect to be variously informed; some stating it to be favorable, and others not so. Respecting the demands of the Directory being high, we have no doubt; as also, that the British government are not disposed to accede to all their terms, we shall not dispute; but that conclusion can be drawn from this? Not any; for the information itself is nothing. Neither in France nor England has a syllable on the subject of the negotiation been suffered to transpire officially.
HULL, JULY 21.
BY EXPRESS.
London, Wednesday evening, July 19, 7 o'clock.
The cabinet council which was held this morning on the last dispatch received from Lord Malmesbury on Sunday last, determined by a considerable majority ON A PROSECUTION OF THE WAR, rather than submit to the unreasonable demands of the French Directory. Mr. Pitt, Lord Grenville, and Mr. Dundas were the only advocates for peace.
The Parliament is expected to be prorogued to-morrow. If not, then on Friday certain.
RICHMOND, (Virg.) Sept. 2.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of veracity, in Washington (Virg.) dated Aug. 13.
"I have the pleasure to mention to you, that a person of note, from the Illinois, passed this place to day, who says that he has dispatches from Mr. Ellicott and Gen. Gayoso, for Philadelphia, announcing that all matters are agreed on in a friendly manner. The Forts at the Natchez were given up, and the Commissioners have set about extending the boundary line. He mentions also that the Spaniards have now 10,000 regular troops in Upper and Lower Louisiana."
"Matters being thus amicably settled with our neighbors of the South Western Waters, except the few who have their minds poisoned with Mr. Blount's bad plans."
CHARLESTON, Aug. 28.
His Excellency Gov. Pinckney has issued a proclamation of his having received such official information from the Department of State, as gives him reason to suppose that secret enlistments of men for improper and illegal purposes are now making in some parts of this state, contrary to the express prohibition of the government of the United States; which if not immediately checked, may disturb our internal tranquility, and involve us in hostilities with nations with whom we are now at peace.—He has therefore forbid the assembly of troops unauthorized by government; and offered a reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS to any person, who will give such information as may lead to the discovery of the principals or accomplices, to be paid on conviction.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.
General Kosciuszko, we hear, has left the city, on a visit to Gen. White, of New Brunswick. Before he left town, we understand, a gentleman in office presented him with a land warrant, to which he was entitled by his services, and intimated there was a sum of money due to him, for his services in the cause of this country. We also understand that the general signified, that whilst fortune smiled upon him at home, he had no intention of receiving any pecuniary reward from the United States, but that, in his present circumstances, he should not decline the acceptance of what appeared to be his due. We believe that, with principal and interest, his pay will not amount to less than 18 or 20,000 dollars, as the general entered into the service as a colonel of engineers, in October 1776, and remained till the end of the war. The land warrant, we are told, of the name of Thomas, who was a partner in the same ship, and of whom he had conceived a high opinion.
The following story is currently reported; A watchman observing a cart conducted by two men, passing him, with some circumstances which gave rise to suspicion, was induced to stop and examine it, having called other watchmen to his assistance. The examination of the cart resulted in discovering two coffins therein, filled with plate and other valuables!
The Coffee-house is now entirely shut up: One of the principal waiters has been seized with the prevailing fever, and conducted to the hospital.
A number of persons are ill on board the United States frigate, now lying off Kensington.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 11.
Yesterday the British Packet Harlequin, Capt. Gray, arrived at this port from Falmouth and Halifax, with the July mail.
The Harlequin failed from Falmouth on the 25th July, and brings London accounts to the 23d, one day later than those via Bolton and Newport.
We have not been so fortunate as to get papers by this vessel; but it would seem, that her accounts are of no great importance. The negotiations for peace were going slowly on, but nothing transpired. Hope, meek eyed hope, that sweet anchor of the soul, was still entertained, that the result of the negotiation would be PEACE: but, the French commissioners, in turn, sent couriers at every proposition!
A London paper, however, publishes, as leaked out, that Malmesbury had agreed to give up all his conquests from France, including the Toulon ships—that the French Commissioner demanded all the Spanish conquests should also be given up, but this was waved as to become a future subject of negotiation—and that the King of Prussia having seized upon Neuremburg, an Imperial city, the Emperors of Russia and Germany had declared WAR against him!!!
SEPTEMBER 12.
A London paper of the 19th July, by the brig from Hull, mentions the arrival of dispatches from the Emperor—a cabinet council was immediately called, and it was conjectured that they breathed a spirit of a renewal of hostilities.
Another paragraph mentions a Courier from Lord Malmesbury, who it was said brought dispatches of such a nature as to do away the belief that a speedy termination of war would take place, on account of the exorbitant demands of the French—These, however, are only editorial conjectures.
SEPT. 13.
VERY LATE FOREIGN.
By the ship Factor, captain Kemp, now at the narrows, but whose passengers and letter bag came up last evening, London accounts are received to Aug. 3.
The Factor sailed from London on the 20th June, and put into Falmouth, from whence she failed on the 6th of August, where the latest London Papers were received. The account of the bombardment of Cadiz had reached England.
By her arrival our regular file of the Morning Post is received, from which copious extracts will be given to-morrow.
The accounts, however, are not very interesting—The NEGOTIATIONS were still going on, but the items of the progress do not appear officially; opinions were various on the result of them; STOCKS (the political Thermometer of Great Britain) were fluctuating, and had been down to 49 and 48 since Aug. came in, and there we leave them; many judge from this depression of their Thermometer, that there existed no virtuous intention, in either party, to bring about a peace; but that the respective commissioners seemed to be engaged in a game of twizzling intrigue, neither one of which yet knew the intentions of the other. No official accounts yet of the signing of the DEFINITIVE TREATY between Buonaparte and the Emperor; and it was thought that this caused the delay in the negotiations.
The Dutch Fleet was still blocked at the Texel. The Irish were still kept quiet by the awe of arms. The people of England were relieved from the late alarm by the suppression of the mutiny. No war on the old lines between France and Austria, as anticipated.
BOSTON, Sept. 12.
SUPREME COURT.
The trial which commenced on Thursday last, against Jethro Hussey, Albert Gardner, Wm. Coffin, James Barker and Randal Rice, citizens of Nantucket, charged with robbing the Bank of that town, closed on Tuesday evening and yesterday morning the Jury gave in their verdict; the four first, were acquitted, and Randal Rice, found GUILTY. We hear the Court have suspended his sentence until the next term, upon his recognizing himself to the President and Directors of the Nantucket Bank, in treble the value of the money stolen, being 60,000 dollars, with sufficient surety or sureties, in the same sum, to the satisfaction of the Directors of said Bank, to respond the treble damages that may be awarded against him; also to the Commonwealth in 400 dollars, himself as principal, with sureties in the same sum, to appear next term, to receive sentence on said indictment, and to stand committed until sentence be so recognized. Not being able to procure it, he is now confined. This cause has excited more attention, than any one tried within our remembrance; and the public opinion is greatly divided on its merits. The discussion of it consumed four days and an half; and the verdict of the jury, composed of just and judicious men, cannot but be deemed proper.
The transaction which gave rise to the trial, is sincerely to be lamented. In an island, where friendship, benevolence, and mutual good office resided—where harmony cheered and enlivened business for years;—and where industry wore the chaplet of honestly-acquired wealth, this unhappy event has estranged the nearest connections; destroyed copartneries in business, and made breaches in the most friendly societies;—and we think we do not verge on error, when we say, that the real pecuniary damage done thereby to the inhabitants could not be repaired by a sum less than fifty thousand dollars.
Thursday, the 12th day of Oct. next, is fixed for the Execution of Stephen Smith, a black man, now under sentence of Death.
SEPTEMBER 14.
Philadelphia Burials.
The Fever in Philadelphia, by yesterday's papers, appears evidently on the decrease: the whole number of burials for the 24 hours preceding the 7th inst. amounted to 13.
Sept. 8, sixteen.—Sept. 9 and 10, SIXTY-EIGHT. From the last report of the mortality, we are unhappy in observing the increased malignancy of the Philad. fever:—And when we consider, that from the last accounts near 20,000 of the inhabitants have fled into the country, we cannot but feelingly lament the calamity, and condole with the inhabitants of that apparently devoted city.
ment the calamity, and condole with the inhabitants of that apparently devoted city.
From 10 o'clock on Sunday evening the 10th to 10 o'clock Monday evening the 11th, 23 adults and 2 children—total 25.
Proofs multiply daily, that the yellow fever is an imported disease; notwithstanding the opinion to the contrary of many justly celebrated physicians. This fact has been ascertained at Providence, Bristol and Warren, Rhode-Island; where about fifteen persons have taken it from imported contagion; and the cause being removed, it has ceased immediately.
Bombardment of Cadiz.
The Capt of a Danish vessel from Malaga for London, spoke with in long. 5, July 23, stated, that as he passed thro' Ad. St. Vincents fleet, off Cadiz, and was informed, the Spanish merchants had offered certain pecuniary and other considerations to induce him to forbear to bombard the city, which he then threatened.
Capt. Burroughs, who arrived yesterday from Lisbon, in 46 days, relates that the firing upon Cadiz continued, though, it was reported not to be so vigorous as it had been.
From BILBOA.
By an arrival from thence, at Beverly, in 36 days, we learn, that it was the opinion of Mr. Gardoqui, from the best information he could obtain, that the present negotiation between France and England would end in Peace:—That the French would pay no attention to the complaints of the United States, until the affair was settled; and that the capture of our vessels would of course continue.
SEPTEMBER 16.
Yesterday the cable of the Constitution frigate was conveyed on the shoulders of two hundred and ninety-three men, from the walk to navy-yard. It was preceded by Col. Claghorn, and attended by a party of drums and fifes, and 3 American ensigns.
OCCURRENCES.
Capt. Hodges, in an American Indiaman, has been sent into Fort Liberty. She is valued at 70,000 dollars.
The ship America, Capt. Shallcross, that was captured by the French on her passage home from St. Kitts, was retaken on the 19th ult. in sight of Cape-Francois, by the British frigate Proteley, and safely conveyed into Cape N. Mole. The Eliza, was to sail from London, Aug. 5—she may therefore be daily looked for.
A WRECK.
"Bermuda, Aug. 12." Thursday last a vessel drifted up to the land from the eastward, bottom up—and was brought into harbour by the boats. She has on her stern, "Atlantic of Boston," and is laden with lumber and spars. She appears to be a new vessel, built of birch and maple. The above vessel is the property of Mr. Thomas Moore, of this town, and commanded by Capt. Hudson Bishop, of Penobscot. The crew have not been heard of. Mr. George Canes, an attorney at Bermuda, has put in a claim to her in behalf of the owners and underwriters, and in a letter to Daniel Sargent, Esq. says, "they may rely that every exertion will be made for the recovery of their right; and when recovered, every attention to their interests which prudence and economy can dictate."
MARRIAGES.
At London, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, Esq. Ambassador from the United States of America to the Court of Berlin, and son of JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States, to Miss LOUISA JOHNSON, second daughter of Joshua Johnson, Esq. of Great Tower Hill.

HANOVER, (N. H.) Sept. 4.
The mortality in this place for a fortnight past has been greater by one half, than it was in Philadelphia, in the sickest time during the prevalence of the Yellow Fever, in proportion to the number of people in both places. The epidemic has been
very general and is still raging, with few less symptoms of violence; in many instances it has baffled the skill of our ablest Physicians. It is willed that some mode of treatment which has been found most efficacious might be published, for the benefit of those who are attacked with this terrible disease.
SEPTEMBER 9.
The following is an accurate statement of the number of inhabitants, and the late mortality in the vicinity of Dartmouth College:
The whole number of inhabitants, including members of College, amounts to about 520 Number of people affected with the Dysentary about 203 Died, of Dysentary only, 5 —of Dysentary and Whooping Cough, 7 —of Consumption and Dysentary, 4 —without Dysentary, 4
Whole number of Deaths, 20 Of these, 5 were adults, the other 15 were children.
The ravages made by the late sickness are the more remarkable, as the place generally heretofore has been one of the most healthy in the world. This is the first instance of the prevalence of an epidemic. We are now happy to announce to the public, that the disorder is rapidly abating, and health is resuming its bloom on the pallid cheek of the invalid.
PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 19.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Philadelphia, dated Sept. 6, to his friend in this town.
DEAR SIR, "I am sorry to inform you that the Epidemic continues to desolate our distressed city. A number of melancholy deaths have lately occurred with attendant circumstances, calculated to chill the feelings of humanity. God knows where the calamity is to end.—Several instances of house-breaking have also appeared.—All the public offices have removed, even the Post-Office, which is a peculiar inconvenience to us at present.—I expect to leave the city in the course of this week if my health is 'till then preserved from the clutches of this relentless destroyer."
Letters from London, of a recent date, and from the best authority, mention, that the underwriters of that city refuse paying Insurance on American vessels captured, not furnished with a roll of equipage—considering it necessary by our treaty with France, and that a vessel's papers are not otherwise complete. [Providence Paper.]

AS there are some Pews, the whole tax, and others in part unpaid for 1796, and as the half year is expired for 1797, it is earnestly de- sired the whole of the taxes may be paid up to the first Tuesday of this present month, September, either by contribution or to the wardens; and if not paid in all this month, the Wardens will be under the disagree- able necessity of advertising the Pews that are deficient.
