The WAR in ITALY. GERMAN ACCOUNTS.
VIENNA, MAY 10. DISPATCHES from Gen. Melas, dated Sestri di Ponenti, April 25, state, that since his last report nothing material had occurred in the blockades of Genoa, Savona and Gavi. F.M. Lt. Elnitz has not been troubled since his affair of St. Giacomo.
Gen. Melas informed, that Gen. Berthier with a large reinforcement was advancing from Dijon, for Genoa, by Geneva, &c. has marched to join Gen. Kaim, near Mount Cenis, leaving 26,000 men before Genoa.
The loss of the Austrians to the 15th April, has been 16 officers, 664 privates killed; 77 officers and 2386 privates wounded.
The whole Imperial Cavalry, amounting to 20,000 men, has arrived in Piedmont.
SUMMONS TO GEN. MASSENA.
MILAN, MAY 1. "GENERAL, Fortune has not crowned your bravery, which entitles you to my esteem, and to that of the whole world. With but a small number of men, you was forced to give away to my exertions, and you did it with honour. But I think it is time to listen to the voice of humanity. Gen. Suchet has yesterday been defeated at St. Giacomo, and you have no longer any hopes to resist my forces. You will be accountable for the blood that shall be spilt hereafter, and you will complete the miseries of a people who have already suffered so much.
"The city is exposed to the greatest calamities; it is menaced by pillage and all the horrors of war, if the country people should enter into it with fury in their hearts, without a capitulation having previously been concluded. I cannot entirely answer for my victorious troops. Listen to the voice of humanity, and sacrifice the glory of having defended yourself to the last drop of blood, to the true glory and to the admiration which no one will deny you. I offer you the most honorable capitulation which a warrior of your character merits, to prove to you the esteem and the most perfect respect with which I am &c."
To which Gen. Massena returned the following Answer:—
"Head-Quarters, at Genoa, April 21.
"GENERAL, "I have received the letter which you did me the honor to write to me, and by which you offer me an honorable capitulation. General, I am not yet reduced to that situation. I have still a sufficiency of troops to enable me to defend myself, although Gen. Suchet may have been beaten, which I have good reason to believe is not the case. "MASSENA."
The 25th April Gen. Suchet made an attempt to dislodge Gen. Elnitz, and open the communication between Savona and Genoa; but the French was repulsed; and Gen. Melas has sent him a further reinforcement.
FRENCH OFFICIALS.
On the 21st the Austrian officers were released on parole. On the 22nd advice was received of the French having recaptured St. Jacques and Peral. On the 23rd the Austrians attacked St. Pierre d'Arena, but were repulsed with the loss of many prisoners.
GEN. MASSENA'S PROCLAMATION TO THE GENOESE.
CITIZENS, "The enemy relying little on their forces, employ all possible means to corrupt the public opinion, and produce, by seduction, movements favorable to them. Yesterday their partisans circulated a report that I should abandon your city; to-day they have circulated a letter from Gen. Melas, offering me a capitulation; they have carried their imposture farther. They assert that a capitulation is already signed. Yesterday I rejected all kind of Capitulation, and I communicate to you the letter I wrote to Gen. Melas. This morning the enemy were completely beaten, and lost 1200 men. Inhabitants of Genoa, I will not, I ought not to capitulate, because I have
forces to defend you; because the movements which the First Consul is directing the French Armies to make, will soon force the Austrian Army to retire; and finally, because it would be to deliver you to an Enemy, from whom it is the wish and duty of the army to deliver you. That Enemy are so interested in getting possession of your City, that there are no sacrifices they will not make to get possession of it. But be not deceived with respect to their real intentions. The secret views of the House of Austria are to overwhelm you with contributions, to annihilate your commerce, and to avenge the events of 1746, which are of a nature never to be effaced.—Inhabitants, as long as I have one corps of troops remaining, neither my brave men, nor myself, will ever separate our cause from yours.
"On the 26th April a vessel loaded with grain entered the port. An attack is supposed to be intended by the Austrians. The English fleet cruizes before our port."
"MASSENA."
PARIS, MAY 21.
Bonaparte was at Lausanne, the 16th.—The Army of Reserve, under Berthier, was in full march for Milan, and had already taken Asta in Piedmont, with some prisoners.
LONDON, MAY 24. Letters from Pavia, say Massena was repulsed in a sortie, April 27, with great loss.
The WAR in GERMANY.
FRENCH ACCOUNTS.
H. Q. Right Wing, Memmingen, May 2.
This morning Lecourbe entered Memmingen—Kray evacuated it in the night, after having in vain contended during the preceding evening against a division of our wing of the army. We took 1500 prisoners including the Red Cloaks, whom Lecourbe took in the forest above Artrach.
PARIS, MAY 19.
Lecourbe is marching for Ulm.—May 21. It is said that a part of the right wing of the army of the Rhine is on its march for Lindau. The English flotilla in the Lake Constance has been defeated and Buchorn taken.
ENGLISH OFFICIALS.
From Col. Clinton, to Lord Grenville. H. Q. Memmingen, May 10.
"My Lord—I have the honor to inform your Lordship, that the army marched in the course of the night of the 6th, to Langen Enslingen; the enemy sent only a detachment to observe the movement of the Austrians on the left of the Danube, and marched with the main body of his army in a direction which gave Gen. Kray an apprehension for his communication with Lt. Gen. Prince Reuss in the Voralberg—to preserve which he hastened by a forced march, recrossing the Danube at Riedlingen to Biberach, which place he reached in the afternoon of the 8th. The army took a position behind the Ris. The enemy, however, still had the advance, and already occupied Waldsee. On the 9th, the Austrians advanced posts in front of the Ris, were vigorously attacked and driven in. Gen. Kray, wishing to avoid engaging in a general affair, fell back at night to Ochsenhausen. Every report of the enemy stated that he still was marching by his right. This morning the army crossed the Iller in two columns at Illerdischen; and near this place the troops had scarcely reached their ground when the enemy began a fresh attack on the left; at the same time a report was received, that a strong column was on its march to Kempton. Every thing announced on the part of the enemy the intention of an attack. Gen. Kray therefore had determined to proceed to Ulm, where he will be joined by the corps of Gen. Stani, consisting of ten battalions and a large proportion of cavalry, besides the second division of the Bavarians. The affair of this day, in which the Bavarians distinguished themselves much to the satisfaction of Gen. Kray, terminated in one of the advanced posts.
From Mr. Wickham, to Lord Grenville. Donaustern, May 13.
"My Lord—I have the satisfaction to inform your Lordship, that Gen. Kray having been attacked, on the
11th inst. on his march from Memmingen to Ulm, had repulsed the enemy, and driven him beyond Memmingen, where, in consequence of this success, he left a considerable corps under Gen. Merfeldt, who is charged to keep open the communication with Prince Reuss, in the Voralberg.
"The main army retired to Ulm, where it has effected its junction with the second division of the Bavarian Subsidiary Army, with General Stzarray."
Disconnected Minutes.
[TO MAY 28.]
An insurrection has taken place in Corsica, where the French have been beaten in a battle, with one General wounded, and another taken prisoner.
Gen. Abercrombie has failed for Gibraltar.—Corsica, it is said, is the object of the expedition.
GREAT-BRITAIN & RUSSIA.
There is evidently a disagreement between the Courts of Petersburg and St. James. The Count Woronzo has left London; it is said he withdraws to the continent for the benefit of his health. The Minister is greatly afflicted by the late unaccountable measures of the Emperor; and if his influence could have prevented them they would not have occurred.
It is reported, that a Treaty of Alliance, offensive and defensive, has been concluded between the Courts of Russia and Prussia—the object of which is to procure by an armed mediation, peace for the continent of Europe.
The Paris papers speak of the probability of an alliance between the Russian Monarchy and the French Republic!!
MAY 20.
Bonaparte will take the Rhine in his way home.
Gen. Desaix, who has arrived near Toulon, came with a few other officers.—He failed the 31st March, from Egypt, and was taken by a British frigate, detained 29 days by Lord Keith, and released by orders from the British government.
It has been reported, That Gen. Kleber, understanding that his treaty would not be ratified, had fallen on the Turkish army, killed ten thousand, and put the rest to flight. [The London papers contain many wire-drawn remarks on this intelligence; which is not entitled to the least credence.]
MAY 21. A Council of State sat at Vienna, the 1st inst. at which The Emperor in person assisted. It sat longer than usual; and the rise of the funds indicates that Peace is expected.
MAY 28. Yesterday the Grand Jury found a true bill against Hadfield, for High Treason. He will be tried in a few days at the Old Bailey.
UNION WITH IRELAND.
House of Lords, May 26. The Earl of Westmoreland said, he was commanded by His Majesty to lay before their Lordships a copy of an Address of both Houses of the Irish Parliament, declaring that they had agreed to the resolution lately passed in both Houses of the Parliament of this kingdom.
LONDON, May 27.
Yesterday a resolution passed Parliament, granting to his Majesty 566,688l. for defraying the charge of twelve thousand men to be furnished by the Elector of Bavaria, to the April, 1801.
CONCORD, June 28.
Capt. George Washington Harris, of this town, failed from Baltimore early in April, for St. Thomas's—He was captured the 25th, by a French schooner of 14 guns, plundered of his property, and with his people put on board the privateer. After a painful endurance of those ills which French baseness suggest, he arrived at St. Thomas's—took passage for New-York—and died of a malignant fever the 28th of May.—In this young gentleman were united, purity of mind, strength of understanding, and a heart enriched with the noblest feelings of humanity. An open and conciliating behaviour procured him friends in every clime where worth is appreciated. He loved his country, and honored his God. In saying he was generous, brave, and good, we
bear that testimony to his merit which he truly deserved.—By this melancholy and distressing event, the Parents of Capt. Harris are deprived of a dutiful son—a cheering solace to their age; and his family connections mourn with unfeigned sorrow the affectionate brother and friend.
FRAGMENT.
"HIS spirit is now an inhabitant of rest"—The mournful cadence with which these words were uttered, caught my attention—they were the accents of distress; and looking round, I saw at a small distance the mourning Matilda, with her orphan children. She was sitting under a pine—her eyes turn'd to Heaven, as imploring that resignation which her woe-taught countenance plainly told she had been unable to acquire by human exertion.—It was a sight which attun'd every chord to sympathy, and call'd the best affections of my heart into action. "Don't cry so, mamma," said the eldest little girl. "God will take care of us."—I approach'd respectfully:—Has any new affliction befallen you, Matilda? Can I be of service?—She look'd at me a moment—"No—you cannot restore what has been taken from me by worse than savage violence—my murder'd husband—my hapless brother.—Yes"—(continued she)—"the Almighty will avenge them, and the wrongs of the injur'd shall not go unredressed.—My husband, you know, Sir, fell a victim to French barbarity, and the most complicated injustice.—Still I had a brother, whose disposition led him to befriend and succour the distressed.—He was the darling of his aged parents, and the joy of his fond sisters!—alas! he venur'd upon a West India voyage—he was taken—and plunder'd even to the clothes which he wore—by those lawless pirates who disgrace the image of their Maker.—The consequence, was his premature and melancholy death.—Go, (added she) and tell those who boast of republican principles, to contemplate the sanguinary effects of their political system.—Bid them feast their imaginations upon the miseries of widow'd mothers and fatherless infants;—but remember, retribution will overtake the authors of such calamities—and tho' they enjoy the short-liv'd triumphs of this world, let them shudder at the awful prospect of eternity!"
AGRICULTURAL.
From a Philadelphia Paper.
An Agricultural correspondent (who has paid much attention to the subject) has favoured us with the following observations on HARVESTING WHEAT.
"WHAT stage of ripeness is the best for cutting Wheat, is not ascertained in America; but enough I have seen of cutting early to be convinced that it commonly is suffered to stand too long.
"At the time of reaping, we generally have a clear sky and a peculiarly drying air, which in some harvests ripen wheat very suddenly, so that the plants from an apparent state of vigor, are killed in a day or two, and receive no further nourishment from the root or blade; and even the stems become exhausted of the nourishment which they had imbibed, so that it could not reach the ear or grain. If with this sudden heat and drying state of the air, the plants be struck with rust, and are still suffered to stand longer, the grain receiving no more nourishment can never fill; but by cutting instantly, and setting it sheltered to cure gradually, the best chance is had for obtaining marketable good Wheat.
"The reaping Corn ten or fourteen days earlier than my neighbours, (says Mr. Parkinson) is an advantage I have attended to. As Corn begins to decay first at the root, all the nourishment it can receive, while standing uncut, after the decay of the root must be derived from the straw. The dews may feed the grain at one time; but when nearly ripe and the root decayed, the sun and wind have so much power as to ripen it too quickly, or scorch or dry it before its natural period of maturity."
"Riding on the road about harvest time, he observed a field of Wheat that had taken the mildew. The straw was of a remarkably deep green, and instead of being dead, appeared to have acquired a great verdure; though after such appearance comes on, it never receives any nourishment or grows any larger. Instead whereof the straw becomes distempered, spotted and discoloured. The sooner it is cut the better. He took 12 ears of the Wheat, which and the straw, were green as grass, and at the same time mildewed. A great deal of rain had fallen the forepart of the day; but the ears of Wheat were pretty dry.
He tied them in a bunch, intending to hang them up in his house to dry and ripen. Several weeks afterwards, having been forgot, he took them out of his great coat pocket; when the straw was found to be still green. The grain was then rubbed out, and to his astonishment he never saw better. It was fine in colour and well filled; but what remained in the field, from which he took these ears, was very small and of little value. This is a strong case, which ought to make a strong impression on the mind of Farmers. He adds—From hence it would seem, that if the Farmer would cut his Wheat when it is struck with mildew, and set it up in the field in small stacks of about a cart load each, so as neither to beat nor mould, it would be better than to let it stand, as is the practice, uncut.
"He had at the same time taken 12 ears of wheat from an adjoining upper field, which were likewise found in the pocket of the great coat. Tho' these when gathered, appeared so much superior to what had taken the mildew, they did not turn out nearly so good as the others. From the above circumstances, Mr. Parkinson was ever afterwards partial to cutting wheat when the straw appeared of a reddish cast, or some of it green, with the joints full of sap; and it fulfilled his expectations. The straw, he adds is better for chaff; the flour much fairer and heavier; and for fine flour it will grind into broad bran. But he does not think that if the wheat escapes the mildew, it ought to be cut so green.
"It is probable that the state of the Wheat, as it approaches to ripeness in the ensuing season, will admit of various instructive experiments, to be made by those whom it chiefly concerns; especially they may learn for their future conduct, how far it will bear to be cut unripe or green, to advantage.
"Hitherto during the present month of May, there has been much cool weather accompanied with frequent rains.—Such was the May of the great year of scab and rust, I think about 1785. The crops of wheat were uncommonly promising; but first the rust, and then (tho' not till the farmer expected daily the wheat was about to ripen) the scab struck it, by which the crops were reduced in quality as well as quantity. What was effected by scab, could never be made to yield good flour, but was more or less clammy. During the progress of the rust and scab, I examined the roots of many plants, which appeared injured, if not dead, at the same time that the stalks and blades looked thriving.
"In this state of things, the farmer may take into consideration at what time it will be best that he should cut down his wheat. For a slight degree of rust it need not be hurried; but when greatly rusted in its advanced state of ripening, and when considerably scabbed, (which never happens but in the moment before it ripens) immediately cut it down, and guard it against sun and wind, slightly, left by securing it too close it heat and be entirely spoiled. What in wheat is by some called scab, by others is called empty ears."

AFFAIRS IN SUABIA.
PARIS, MAY 19.
The latest information from the army of the Rhine, is, that after the taking of Memmingen—Gen. Lecourbe directed his march for Ulm.
MAY 21.
It is said that a part of the right wing of the army of the Rhine is on its march for Lindau—that the English flotilla in the lake of Constance has been defeated; and Buchan taken.
LONDON, MAY 26.
The Army of Reserve, as it is still called, tho' divided into two offensive parts, of which one shares the fate of Moreau, and the other is conducted by Bonaparte, has reached the Valais, and is preparing to pass the Alps by the Great St. Bernard and the Simplon. The advanced guard is said to have already entered Piedmont, and to have been at Aosta. A third division of the army of Reserve will deside by the Mount St. Gothard. But the fate of Genoa may be expected to be decided before these troops can cause any diversion in its favour. By a letter from Ld. Keith, received at Leghorn, it appears, that on the 22d ult. Genoa had not above fourteen days provision left.
NASSAU, (N. P.) MAY 20.
On Sunday last arrived the American sch. Greyhound, with Slaves from the Coast of Africa, by which we have received the intelligence of an English squadron of frigates having taken Goree from the French.
The same day Capt. Hunter (he failed in March last, for the coast of Florida returned) having lost his vessel, which was taken by the Spanish Galleys cruising on that station.
JUNE 17.
The La Prompte has sent into this Port, an American brig prize, bound from Vera Cruz, with money on board as is said, to the amount of 50,000 dollars.
We are sorry to announce the capture of two privateers, the Hope, Capt. Davis, and the Eagle, Capt. Whitehead, both of this port, who were accidentally grounded in attempting to capture the enemy—a king's vessel, carrying 18 guns. We have also to lament the death of both Captains of our privateers, and a number of brave men. It is further stated that the Spanish Captain was killed in the action.
WINCHESTER, JUNE 25.
It is supposed that William Shelly, a sergeant in the United States Regiment was murdered, not long since, at the foot of the Cumberland mountain, on his way from Knoxville to Nashville, by two recruits, viz. Joseph Hargrave and Sam'l Johnson. What strengthens the supposition, is, his pocket-book has been found, and Johnson's description and oath of allegiance are torn from the enlistment. A reward of fifty dollars is offered by Capt. Rickard, for the apprehension of the above mentioned recruits. Joseph Hargrave is described to be 35 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches high, fair complexion, dark eyes and hair. A description of Johnson could not be given by Capt. Rickard, in his advertisement, on account of the enlistment being torn as above stated.
CHARLESTON, JUNE 17.
We are informed, that his honor the Lieutenant-Governor has issued orders, that all vessels coming from the West-Indies are to anchor at Fort Johnson, until the crews have been visited by the Port Physician.
PHILADELPHIA, July 11.
The following letter has just been received via Leghorn:—
"Consulate of the United States, Tunis, April 10, 1800."
"SIR, "HAVING at length amicably adjusted the affairs of the United States with the Bey and Regency of Tunis, I desire you would communicate this agreeable intelligence to the masters of American vessels, who may come within the limits of your Consulate.
"The principal Minister of the Bey, has pledged himself that the last clause of the 12th article of our treaty with this Regency, inserted by Joseph Etienne Famin shall have the same effect with respect to American merchant vessels as the custom of all other nations at peace with Tunis, has established with their respect to their own, and no other.—There is therefore no danger to be apprehended from American vessels visiting this coast. Perfect health prevails here.
I am, &c.
(Signed)
Wm. EATON.
"Thomas Appleton, Esq.
"American Consul, Leghorn."
Letter from Mr. Morton to the Secretary of State.
"Havannah, May 21, 1800.
"IT is with much concern I announce to you Sir, that the Yellow Fever has commenced its ravages among our countrymen at this place. A number of seamen, and several persons who resided on shore, have lately fallen victims to this dreadful disease, and several are now under the hands of the physician."
From Lt. M'Elroy to the Secretary of the Navy.
"Augusta, Off Aux-Cayes, June 4, 1800.
"I Yesterday fell in with and captured off Jacmel, two French Schooners, one called La Victorie, and the other La Jeanne of St. Domingo, both of which I conceive it my duty to send home for trial. The papers of each vessel are sealed up separately and delivered to the respective prize-masters, viz. those of the Jeanne to Mr. David Deacon, and those of the Victorie to Mr. John Young."
BOSTON, July 16.
FROM EUROPE—AGAIN.
"By the Merchant, arrived on Monday from London, the dates of that city, are brought to the 28th May.
"The War in Germany is prosecuted with a vigour, obstinacy and carnage, almost unexampled in the annals of destruction. Within twenty days the French army, under Moreau, made themselves masters of all Suabia, and daily, for many days, outgeneralled, attacked and defeated, or discomfited, the veteran warrior Kray, and his intrepid disciplinarians. In this "tug of war," the rival heroes attack and defend with great inveteracy and pertinacity; and "lie down in the bed of honor," nearly in equal numbers. On the 12th May, the French head quarters were advanced to Biberrach; with its wings extending from the Iller to the Danube; the Austrians, at the same time retiring to the Lech. On the 13th, however, Fortune is said to have favored General Kray, who having been strongly reinforced, attacked in his turn, the French, near Augsberg, and obliged them to retrograde nearly 27 American miles. At this point the last accounts left affairs in Germany.
"From Italy, it is stated, that Massena had not surrendered the 1st May.—Instead of which it appears, that part of the French army of Reserve, under Gen. Berthier, was in full march to relieve Massena; and some accounts say, its advanced guards had entered Piedmont, and taken possession of the valley of Aousta. To oppose this reinforcement Gen. Melas is said to have marched from before Genoa (leaving 25,000 men to reduce that city) to meet Berthier, and give him battle in the plains of Piedmont. We may, therefore, be on the watch for more chancel-house news from that quarter of Europe. As these accounts bring the state of affairs to the beginning of May only, we suspect the Austrians have been obliged to desist from their operations on Genoa, as our accounts from Gibraltar are to the 29th May—at which time no accounts of the storming, or surrender of that city had been received.
"From Detroit, June 2, we learn, that the Indians are fighting amongst themselves; and that numbers have been killed in the Wabash country. Six Wiandots, who had stolen horses on the Sciota had been killed by the whites.—Belts of wampum with war speeches have been sent to the different nations in this quarter."
At the celebration of the anniversary of American Independence, on the 4th inst. at Colbrook, (Con.) the Rev. Mr. Chauncy Lee, of that place, delivered from Gen. iii. 2, 3. "And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, ye shall not eat of it nor touch it, lest you die." The preacher stated, that our country, in a political sense, was the garden of the world—That in this garden grows the tree of knowledge of political good and evil—That our infatuated countrymen were already partaking of its deadly fruit—That unless they desisted, the inevitable consequences would be political destruction. That Satan, the first jacobin who ever made his appearance in our world, used the same arts to effect his purpose, and had the same object in view in his attempt to revolutionize the garden of God, as our modern jacobins practised to accomplish their ends; which was to destroy all religion and government. He painted the horrid system of jacobinism in its native deformity. He warned his hearers of the evils that threatened their country and pointed out the means to avert these evils.
SALEM, July 10.
Capt. Derby, from Naples, via Gibraltar, brings the pleasing intelligence, that the differences between the Barbary Powers and this country were happily accommodated—and that the tribute Ship, with the Treaty-stipulated Merchandise and Treasure on board, had lately arrived at Algiers, after a long passage.
Extract of a letter from Leghorn, to a gentleman in this town, dated April 23.
"The fall of Genoa is hourly expected. The news by the express this day is that every fort round the town, and within shot of it are in possession of the Austrians, and it is expected in the morning we shall have the accounts of the surrender. They several days past offered to capitulate but the terms were rejected.
April 25.—The information of yesterday's express from Genoa is, that all the Provisions in the town, including horses, &c. would not last 12 days, and that the reinforcements which were on their way to its relief had been cut off with considerable loss—to that we are expecting hourly the news of its capture.
"We do not hear any thing lately from our Commissioners in France.
"By a new Law here every vessel that has got 10 guns and twenty-five men, are obliged to pay a duty of 1 pr. cent. on their cargoes."
The account of the capture of a French 20 gun ship in the West-Indies, is doubtful, as advices from St. Kitts of a later date make no mention of such a circumstance.
JULY 15.
Capt. Hodges, in the brig Eunice, arrived here yesterday in 54 days from Liverpool.—By this arrival we were furnished with a Liverpool paper of May 22d; but it contained not an article of intelligence.
Capt. Hodges informs that provisions were plenty at Liverpool; that large supplies of wheat had arrived there from Dantzic a few days before he failed, which had materially reduced the price of that article.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Norfolk, June 28. Arrived the fchr. Charming Betsy, Capt. Gardner, 20 days from Port Antonio. On the 24th of June, in lat. 32, long. 76, 24, spoke the Schooner Sophia, Capt. Downer, 5 days out from Havanna, bound to Boston; part of the crew down with the yellow fever.
June 30. Arrived the Schooner Mary Ann, Capt. Dalton, 19 days from Kingston—ballast. June 25th, standing through the gulph, in lat. 25, 9, N. being well in with the Florida shores, saw a large vessel laying on the reef, with all her masts, &c. standing; at 8 A. M. hove about and stood for her, in order to take off the crew, supposing her to be one of the briggs in company the day preceding; at 11, boarded her, and found her to be the Greyhound, of Portland, deserted by the crew, her sails gone, and by the gratings fore and aft must have been fitted for a guineaman.—She was full of water, so that it was impossible to ascertain her cargo.
Boston, July 14. Arrived ship Merchant, Knox, London, 42 days. Left there ship Superb, Trail, to sail for Boston the first fall ship—the Rover to sail soon after the Merchant. June 14, lat. 46, 53, long. 35, 9, spoke brig Jane, 17 days from Portland, for Liverpool. June 29, on the Western part of the Grand Banks, spoke ship Russell, of New-Bedford, 11 days from New-York, for Greenock. Passenger in the Merchant, Capt. Hart, of Portland.

FAREWEL ADDRESS
Of the Hon. SAMUEL LYMAN, To his Constituents.
Friends and Fellow Citizens,
I THANK you for your repeated and almost unanimous suffrage, by virtue of which, I have for a number of years past, held a seat in Congress—this honor, at the ensuing election, I wish to decline; and on this occasion, I think you will indulge me without apologizing, if I take the liberty to make a few remarks, relative to the political state of our country.—On this subject, I am sensible you stand in no need of arguments, to confirm your attachment to your country; and I know your character for federalism is high; it is not excelled by that of any other District—but a spirit of surmise and of jealousy has gone forth, and it may even reach you it is against this spirit I caution you; this is the spirit that can undermine and destroy the Temple of Liberty as well as the Throne of Despotism.—Of what will you be jealous? Of your own power? Will you justify a man who shall be guilty of suicide, because he has no confidence either in his right or left hand, both of which may administer to him poison or good and wholesome food.—Are not all who administer your Government, people of your own choice? And at regular periods, do you not possess the darling prerogative of killing and of making alive? Is it possible for them to lay burdens upon you and exempt themselves? Or can you suppose they would be instrumental in establishing a principle, which in its operation would destroy the Constitution, and so entail misery and wretchedness upon their posterity? Certainly you cannot. When therefore you hear declamations about a standing army, about the Liberty of the Press, and about Executive Power, be not dismayed, but remem-
ber that such is the language of those, whose zeal is not always the result of knowledge or of integrity.—Be not afraid; our first Magistrate is eminent for integrity, talents, and experience; and the gentlemen who are at the head of the great Department of State, are all men of integrity and talents.—But you will ask me, what occasions such extreme party spirit, and why is our Country divided into two great parties? I answer, it is the consequence of extreme liberty, and a higher degree of liberty cannot exist, without endangering the whole; the reason why it cannot exist, is because the nature of man will not admit of it; his pride and ambition require very powerful restraints; therefore, all those who teach the doctrine of modern liberty and equality, are false teachers; they are either deceivers or are deceived themselves.—A certain French author very shrewdly and sensibly observes upon this subject, that nothing is so unequal as equality. I admire the frame and constitution of our Government, because it controuls in some degree, that unequal equality, and at the same time, gives opportunity for the fullest display of all the amiable and excellent attributes, which dignify man as a social being.—You also ask, why does there exist such division in our National Councils? I answer, it is because they are composed of men of like passions with yourselves.—If you will consider mankind, as possessing some patriotism, and a little more selfishness and pride; you will be able, not only to comprehend the jarring interests of a great Nation, but you will also understand all the Mysteries of Government.—I know you want to be more particular, and to ask another question, you wish to know how it happens, that the federal interest is divided in the National Councils—This is a delicate question, and a short answer is better than a long one: however, I will just observe that the federal interest is not divided, in sentiment, or in the principles of administering the Government; but there is a division as to men and to measures, there is a division as to the degree of hatred and animosity necessary to be used in order to destroy all opposition to Government. A small party, I suppose sincerely believe, that a few bold strokes would silence all opposition, others say no, let it be done by civility and found argument; so here they are at issue; but their ultimate views are the same, they all wish for peace and tranquility.—This discord is favorable to the opposition; they act in perfect unison, and if they are so fortunate as to become the Majority, we shall be so unfortunate as to be called a Faction and Disorganizers, and it is probable, that thus alternately, two great parties will administer the Government, and it is not altogether improbable, but they will administer it upon nearly the same principles, not altogether for conscience sake, but because their interest will compel them. Thus there will be a perpetual struggle for power—the great objects of ambition will be authority and fame.—Such is MAZZER's "tempestuous sea of liberty" and nothing can bush its tumultuous waves, excepting that Spirit, which "rested upon the face of the great deep;" but it is the duty of all men to divest themselves of party animosity, and to live together like Brethren.
Having passed through a great variety of public scenes and shared liberally in the honors of the State, I now bid you an affectionate farewell, and shall bear about in my retirement, a most grateful remembrance of your favors; and may you and our Nation at large "be blessed with the blessings of Heaven above, and of the Earth beneath."

Anecdote of Gen. HAMILTON.
When a youth of 17, he was Chief Clerk to an eminent merchant at St. Eustatia, who being absent, the business of the Compting Room, of course, devolved on young HAMILTON.—He had handed to him a Letter directed to his master, which, supposing it related to mercantile concerns, he opened; but his surprize was great when he found it contained a Challenge to his master, whose proxy he was. The young hero answered the Challenge in the name of his master, and the time and place was mentioned in the reply. HAMILTON appeared to the antagonist of his master on the field; and, to use his own words, "did his business in his absence," and would not agree to any compromise, except on the express condition that the Challenger should acknowledge, in writing, that he has received suitable satisfaction from Mr. —, that he was a gentleman of honor, &c. and further, that he (HAMILTON) should never be known in the business; which terms the Challenger was obliged to accede to, or fight young HAMILTON; he chose the former, and the parties separated. In a few months however, it came to his master's ear, who was so struck with the magnanimity of such conduct, that he gave him liberty to
come to the Continent, choose what profession he pleased, and draw on him to any amount!—Perhaps to this anecdote, we are indebted for the services and abilities of a man who has not his superior, as a Soldier, a Financier, and a Statesman.
From the Gazette of the United States.
Advice to the Ladies.
Dr. LEAKE, in his elegant and perspicuous treatise on the Diseases of Women, has these words on the power and happiness of health:—"It is necessary to remind them, says he, that though health does not altogether constitute beauty—beauty is the child of health, and cannot long exist without her parental influence.—In vain they would strive to preserve one, without due regard to the other. The great secret of improving beauty consists in the art of preserving health." 'Tis that which animates and lights up the countenance with expressive smiles, which touches the lip with vermilion, and diffuses over the cheeks a freshness and vivid glow.—It gives sweetness to the breath and lustre to the eye. Is it not then to be lamented that the true value of health is seldom sufficiently regarded, till it is either impaired, or irretrievably lost?
Of this inestimable blessing he remarks that moderate exercise, good air, and temperate diet are the three grand preservatives. Exercise in particular, is eminently beneficial, and without air, they will be continually liable to diseases; or though a naturally good constitution may preserve some from absolute sickness, yet their frames will become feeble, and feel prematurely the languor of old age, and the decay of beauty. The efficacy of exercise, is thus set forth by the Doctor.
"Moderate exercise is one of the most foreign remedies of which we are possessed, either in preserving or restoring health; it invigorates the heart, and promotes an equal distribution of blood. It assists the excretions, strengthens the appetite and digestion, renders the body less liable to the malignant influence of weather, or to the attack of putrid diseases; in short, it animates every part of the human system, and also gives cheerfulness and vigour to the mind.

Another Duel!!
We are under the disagreeable necessity of announcing to the public, an affair of honor which took place last evening, between Pomp Ethiops, and Cæsar Blackamore.—The particulars of this unhappy rencontre, so far as they have transpired, are as follows:—On the evening of the 17th inst. as these gentlemen were sitting, in a cellar-kitchen in Grub-street, regaling themselves in drinking gin and smoking segars, the conversation turned on Miss Dinah Pugg, whom Mr. Ethiops was supposed to be courting. In perfect good humour Mr. Blackamore remarked that her lips were as thick as any negroes. Mr. Ethiops said that the insinuation was false—that he would not be insulted in so tender a point as the lips of the divine Miss Pugg—and demanded immediate satisfaction. The preliminaries were then settled; and the next morning, at 6 o'clock the parties met at Crack-skull Hollow, about a mile below Musquetto-fort. The seconds were Quasha Cuffee and Cuffee Quasha. The ground was marked out, and they both fired nearly at the same time. The ball of Mr. Ethiops entered his antagonist's cravat, about an inch below his chin, and would doubtless have proved fatal but for the enormous pudding inclosed in the cravat, which deadened the force of the ball, and caused it to stick in the wool. The other ball hit Mr. Ethiops about three inches below his right knee, and owing to the sharpness of his shin, and the extreme tightness of his pantaloons, it split in the middle, and fortunately did no other mischief than to discolour the skin. Here the seconds interfered, and the parties shook hands in perfect friendship.
The seconds assure us, that the parties behaved with great spirit and bravery, and that it was as honorable a Jewel as ever was fought.
Miss Pugg, upon first hearing of the event, fainted; but, upon an application of a smelling bottle, she soon recovered.
New-Haven, June 19, 1800.
p. s. This is the twenty sixth duel which has been fought within the last three months—tho' the first in Connecticut.

NIAGARA, JUNE 21.
The subject of duties on goods from the United States was to have been decided yesterday in our Legislature. Congress having laid duties on goods from Canada has called forth this measure.
NORFOLK, JULY 5.
Let the appearance of the weather bear ever so black a prospect, yet there is something in the 4th of July that is enlivening, nay, there is something in the countenance of every American, that says, "it shall not look black."
To commemorate the day (that will be conspicuous in the Calendar, whilst types are found to make an impression) yesterday a number of our citizens accompanied by Major Forde and the different officers of the Ports, assembled at the Borough Tavern where a handsome dinner was prepared by Mrs. Hall. A variety of toasts and songs well suited to the occasion, were given and sung: and we did not remark a toast, sentiment, or song, but was federal. As the table was opened to all, it was a strong proof, that though there may be some disorganizers in the borough of Norfolk, yet, as viewing the value of our Independence, and feeling as every one must feel upon the occasion, the 4th of July seemed to reconcile, to bind all together as patriots and friends. It is a day that vibrates so strong upon the heart of every true American, that, though for the balance of the year, party principles may disturb the peace of society, yet, on that day, it seems, as tho' no man's eye could catch another's, but it looked and called him Brother.

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 12.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in N. Carolina, to his friend in Richmond, dated 22d ult.
"I imagine most of the votes in this state will be for Adams; Mr. Leonard Henderson and Col. Joseph Taylor, offer for this district; the former for the present administration, the latter for Jefferson, though I suppose Mr. H. will be elected."
We are authorized to say, that the district from whence came the letter abovementioned is as much, or much more, tinctured with democracy than any other district in the state, and if the federal candidate succeeds therein, little need be apprehended of very general success to our truly patriotic and well beloved JOHN ADAMS.
The people of North Carolina did oppose like men the adoption of our federal constitution; but since they have become reconciled to it, they like men support it.
To say nothing of this band of Jacobins* who cause disgrace to the Executive where e'er they be, the happy people of North Carolina know their interest too well to think of substituting "perfidy and cowardice" for "truth and justice."

Extract of a letter from Washington, Georgia, dated 21st June, 1800, to a gentleman in Wilmington.
"Bowles is making a good deal of disturbance among the Indians and has taken one of the Spanish forts. Our government it is said, has given orders this week, to have 5000 of the militia in readiness at a moment's warning, in consequence of an express received from Col. Hawkins, our Indian Agent:—I had it from a gentleman who left Louisville on Wednesday last, who said the Governor informed him that he had issued the orders on that day."
Extract of a letter dated Halifax, 23d June, 1800.
"I am sorry to inform you that we [The Danish ship Muhlensels,] were captured on the 13th inst. by the St. Albans British man of war, Captain Hardy, under a late order from England, to send in all vessels bound to or from enemies ports for legal adjudication." !!
NEW-YORK, July 15.
Capt. Waterman, from Lisbon, informs us, that on the first of June, off the Rock of Gibraltar, he saw a fleet of ships of war, which he supposed to be English—he counted 34 sail. The probability is, that these ships have on board the 12,000 troops, that were about sailing from England at the date of our last accounts, said to be destined for the south of France, under the command of Sir Ralph Abercromby.
The last accounts from Jamaica state, that there were lying in the harbour of Mairaguan twelve or thirteen sail of American vessels without a foul on board, their crews, it was supposed, having been murdered by Rigaud's sanguinary adherents.
BOSTON, JULY 21.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux, to his friend in this town, dated April 30.
"By News from Paris yesterday, it appears the negotiations were in a favorable train, and that the Treaty will be completed and signed in the month of May; but as it must go to America and be ratified before the intercourse will be opened, we do not expect any American vessels here till October, or perhaps later. Brandy and Wines are very plenty and cheap."
A vessel has arrived at Salem from Gibraltar, which brings accounts to nearly the middle of June. We learn by a gentleman from the former place, that the information by this arrival is, that Massena had made a sortie from Genoa about the 18th of May, and had succeeded in driving the besiegers from before that place with great slaughter. This intelligence is verbal; we have seen a letter, brought by the same vessel, addressed to a respectable house in this town, dated the beginning of June, which says, Massena must have surrendered ere this, as by the last accounts he was in the greatest want of provisions.
AGREEABLE INTELLIGENCE.
It is with pleasure we announce that the ship Juno and frigate Vandyke, of this port, and the brig Hannah, of Salem, with their cargoes, lately captured and sent into Halifax, have been released without trial; this information was received by the Nancy, arrived on Saturday last from Halifax.
The Captain of a sloop from St. Croix, arrived here yesterday, informs, that 75 sail of American vessels (including 7 French privateers, prizes to the U. S. ships) failed from St. Thomas the first inst. under convoy of the frigate Adams.
[New-york Pap.]
OUR ENVOYS.
It is expected the first correct news we obtain from our Envoys will be by the Portsmouth ship of war, Capt. M c Niel that the dispatches will be a third chapter of the Book of disappointment (to the enemies of peace :) and the bearers of them Messrs. Ellsworth and Davie.
From Boston, July 21.
I am astonished at the abuse, which some of our papers pour on President Adams. Are any men's schemes so desperate as to require being propped by sacrificing the reputation of the man, who stands foremost in the confidence of every sound federalist, the man who treads in the firm steps of conscious honor, and pursues, with uniformity, a line of conduct which alone will secure the seats of power from the pollution of jacobinism, and prevent desperate factions from running our political barque upon the rocks of perdition. The man, who having formed his opinions and tested them, does not change at the beck of his Secretaries; nor from the influence of the obstinate, self consequential, or groveling minions, fly into the proud, vaunted, and solemn declaration (of war,) and in a moment prostrate, what years have been employed to erect. I own from some symptoms, which have been manifested from the New-Englandmen, we have some little reason to apprehend, that the votes will not be unanimous for Mr. Adams, (as President.) If they are not, as sure as Jehovah, a Jacobin Captain will command, and the Commander will be Jefferson.
Yesterday, failed from this port the ship Minerva, Capt. Barber, for London. Passengers in the Minerva, Mr. William Deblois, and family; and Mr. Allen Melville.
FOREIGN NEWS.
The Articles of News under the foreign head of this paper, are latest and most important brought by the Merchant, arrived here from London since our last. By those accounts the reader will see that the fate of Massena's army was not decided—though he continued to be held within the walls of Genoa, they will also see that the cry of havoc has not ceased its yell in that part of Austria, where the "dogs of war" have been let loose to prey on the wretched inhabitants.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
We learn that the Insurgent, Capt. Fletcher, of 36 guns; the Chesapeake, of 44 guns, Capt. Barron; and the Boston, of 32 guns, Capt. Little; are ordered to cruise off the coast of the United States, for the protection of trade.
The General Greene, of 32 guns, Capt. Perry, is shortly expected at Newport, from the Havanna.
The capture of a French corvette, by the Connecticut, is not confirmed.
The United States ship Congress, Capt. Seaver, is ready for sea, and dropped down from Norfolk, the 12th inst.

Philadelphia, July 14.
Arrived—at the Fort yesterday, ship Asia, Morgan, from Batavia, and St. Helena last. Sailed from Batavia Feb. 7th, in company with the ship Commerce, Smith, and brig Fame, Latimer, both of and for Baltimore. Touched at St. Helena the 28th, and sailed from thence the 29th. Same day arrived there the ship Ulysses, Lamb, from Canton to Boston. March 3, in lat. 15, o, S. long. 109, o E. met with a violent tuffoon, which occasioned the loss of his masts and part of his cargo and provisions, the ship being completely water-logged for several hours. Captain Lamb informs, that he fell in with the ship Jefferson, Morris, of Philadelphia, in lat. 23, 30, S. long. 66, o, E. who generously supplied him with provisions, spars, &c. The Ulysses was under jury masts, and expected to sail from St. Helena in 2 days. The Sally, Dawson, and Lydia, Smith, sailed from Batavia 9 days before the Asia, the former for Philadelphia, and the latter for New-Bedford.
Boston, July 17.
Arrived,—ship Dispatch, William Breck, N. W. Coast and Canton, 170 days from latter place. This is the third successive time this ship has circumnavigated the globe, which is more than any other vessel ever known. Left at Canton, the Ann and Hope, of Providence, and 5 English Indiamen, which arrived a few days previous—Sailed in co. with several vessels, which have been before mentioned. July 1, lat. 27, 21, spoke a ship from Boston, Jacob Treadwell commander. July 4, lat. 40, 59. N. a privateer bore down, and proved to be a fchr. of 14 guns, 6 days from Bermuda, who examined and dismissed us.
The brig Alert, Capt. Rich, of this port, has arrived at Cadiz, 24 days passage. Capt. Rich was boarded by an English ship of war off Cadiz, who informed him that they did not molest any American vessel bound in or out of that place.
PORTSMOUTH, JULY 22.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at St. Kitts, to his friend in this town, dated June 22, 1800.
Our American ships of war have lately been extremely successful—Commodore Morris, since he commanded the squadron, which began last October, his ship alone has taken and retaken 17 prizes; the squadron together 50 prizes—The Philadelphia Frigate is the Commodore's ship, Capt. Decatur, the former goes home this day with a large fleet.—The Connecticut, Capt. Tryon, took in eight days four prizes, and the whole squadron take more or less daily.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in this town, dated July 2, 1800.
"Philadelphia at present enjoys good health, and there has not been one alarm of the fever among us—we are favored with delightful refreshing showers, and much thunder and lightning: I hope the Lord will have mercy on us, and favor us with health through the year; his goodness, perhaps, may lead us to repentance. Our water works are progressing, and it is tho't that in a little time, we shall enjoy the purest water.—There has not been known for many years so great a prospect of success to the husbandman.—The Locusts have been among us in abundance, and their noise in the city and country has been very great—seventeen years ago, when they appeared, or some of the other seasons of their appearance, health and plenty crowned the inhabitants those years."
Nearly in the latitude of Madeira, the ship Clarendon, of Bristol, run on board the ship Beaufoy, Radley of Lyndon, when, melancholy to relate, the latter went down with the crew and passengers, not a soul saved.
The accident, it appears, happened at night, no doubt, from some fatal error at the wheel on board one or perhaps both ships. We do not know the names of the passengers on board the Beaufoy, but understand there were several, and among them some ladies, whose cries were distinctly heard as the ship was going down; the night being extremely dark, and the wind blowing hard at the time, with a heavy sea running, it was impossible to afford any assistance. The Beaufoy was bound for Montego Bay, and had on board a valuable cargo of Irish provisions. The Clarendon met with no other accident than the loss of her bowsprit and fore-top-mast.
[Jamaica paper.]
On Thursday last arrived at Nantucket, two large ships (whalemen) from a whaling voyage, 23 months out, had been very successful.
From the Commercial Gazette.
The following letter, written by our revered President, in those times which really tried men's souls, we conceive ought to be annually published as long as American Independence is considered deserving of celebration. It flows at once the soundness of his understanding and the ardor of his patriotism. May his country continue to realize the happiness, and arrive at the greatness which he then saw in vision—and her gratitude continue to repay his labours and services:
"PHILADELPHIA, JULY 5, 1776.
"YESTERDAY the greatest question was decided, which was ever debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, or will be decided among men. A resolution was passed, without one dissenting colony,—"THAT THESE UNITED COLONIES ARE & OF RIGHT OUGHT TO BE FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES."
"The day is passed—The Fourth day of July, 1776, will be a memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to Almighty God. It ought to be solemnized with pomp, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward and forever. You will think me transported with enthusiasm; but I am not. I am well aware of the toil and blood, and treasure, that will cost us to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states; yet through all the gloom, I can see the rays of light and glory—I can see that the end is more than worth all the means; and that posterity will triumph, although, you and I may rue, which I hope we shall not. I am, &c.

DIED —At Scarborough, the 4th inst. of canine madness, a son of Mr. Enoch Berry, aged 10 years. This boy was bitten in April last by a cat, which at the time was supposed to be affected with canine madness and was immediately killed on that account. The wound was perfectly healed in a few days, and the boy was apparently well till Tuesday the 1st inst. when he complained of the wounded hand's painimg him. The symptoms of madness soon after began—he refused all food except apples, which he bit at, and ate without touching them with his hands. Water was offered him, and the physician ordered it poured out before him, but he turned from it with disgust, and was greatly agitated when he saw it. He tried to bite every thing which came in his way, and once fastened his teeth on his father's arm, took out a piece of the sleeve of his coat and shirt, but fortunately did not touch the flesh. He had his senses perfectly at intervals, knew his friends, but was all the time in the greatest agitation. There was no great variation in his symptoms, excepting only that they grew stronger, and his horror became more extreme, till Friday evening, when he expired in the most excruciating tortures.

CASTLES IN THE AIR. From a late English Paper. To dwell on earth, gross element, Let grovelling spirits bear; But I, on nobler plans intent, Build Castles in the Air. No neighbour there can disagree, Or thwart what I design; For there, not only all I see, But all I wish—is mine. One thing, 'tis true, excites my fear; Nor let it seem surprising; Whilst Ministers, from year to year, New taxes are devising. Lest earth being tax'd, as soon it may, Beyond what earth can bear, Our Financier a Tax should lay On—Castles in the Air. Well with the end the means would suit, 'Would he, in these our Days, Ideal Plans to execute, Ideal Taxes raise!
