From the COLUMBIAN MIRROR, and Alexandria Gazette.
Mr. PRICE, I read some time ago in your paper, a publication taken from the Dumfries Gazette, announcing CHARLES SIMMS and DANIEL CARROL BRENT, esquires, as candidates at the approaching election for an elector of a president and vice-president of the United States, for the district of Prince William, Stafford and Fairfax. The writer very properly observes, that both those gentlemen are highly respectable, and I believe no just exception can be taken to the private character of either. It may, therefore, be thought immaterial on whom the choice of the district may fall. This, however, is far from being the case; and the public good is deeply interested in the event. If there had heretofore been any doubt on the subject, the proceedings of the last session of congress have demonstrated to all America and to all Europe, that there are two parties unfortunately existing in the United States, totally opposite in their political opinions; in a few words, they may be defined to be the "Friends," and the "Enemies" of the government under which we live with such unequalled comfort and prosperity. The friends of the government are composed of those who originally supported the constitution, and of those who, having in the beginning opposed it, have, from experiencing the happy effects of its operation, become its advocates. Among the enemies of the government, very few will be found who did not oppose it at the time of its ratification. These thought the government wrong in its principles, and incapable of promoting the welfare of the people; and, notwithstanding the unexampled blessings we have enjoyed, and full enjoy, under its administration, (the very reverse of all the woes they had predicted) blind to the public felicity, they continue to interpose all their power to check its operations, and frustrate the means which have raised us from our degradation and misery, preserved our peace, increased our wealth and happiness at home, and rendered us great and respectable in the eyes of mankind. It is between these two opinions that the citizens of the United States must chuse in electing their president and vice-president; and by the choice of Mr. Simms or Mr. Brent, will the district express its approbation or disapprobation, both of our government and of its measures. For never were political opinions more fairly brought before the public, than in the persons of Mr. Simms and Mr. Brent; the former gentleman having been a uniform friend to the constitution, and its administration, as the latter has been decidedly opposed to both.
If our fellow-citizens, therefore, approve their government, if they approve the policy which has guided its councils, if they prefer the existing order and harmony to the lately threatened anarchy and strife, the plenty and abundance which crown our industry, to the accumulated calamities of foreign war and domestic division, in their choice of an Elector, they will undoubtedly direct their attention to the man who, having manifested his love of our excellent constitution, and approbation of the wise proceedings under it, may be relied on to choose a person to fill the important office of President of the United States, who will imitate, with zeal and courage, the patriotic, firm and prudent conduct of our present Chief Magistrate. From frequently hearing that it has long been the wish of General WASHINGTON to retire to private life, and lately that he would certainly execute that intention as soon as his present term of office shall expire, I am inclined to believe that, at the ensuing election we shall be obliged to appoint some other person to the arduous station, which he, for the last seven years, has filled with so much glory to himself and benefit to his country. Having conducted our armies through a long and glorious war to the attainment of our independence; having assisted in forming a wise and free government, to enable us to improve the full advantages of our independent situation; having been called twice by our unanimous suffrage to the chief office and most arduous duties of that government; having seen under his auspices public credit revive, and with it private confidence, and universal exertion and industry; having beheld all the arts either useful or ornamental to society, spreading themselves in every direction, and embellishing the most remote corners of the United States, and particularly that pillar of virtue, wealth and strength of any people, agriculture, flourish in an unprecedented degree; having quelled rebellion in its cradle; having accommodated all depending controversies with the Indian tribes and with foreign powers, with advantage and honour to the nation; having seen all these things accomplished under his guidance and protection; and finally, having vindicated the constitution of his country from the sacrilegious violence of faction, he has done all that duty or patriotism can require, or a grateful people ask. We must, therefore, without a murmur, permit him to spend the remaining years of his useful and venerable life, in the enjoyment of that tranquility which, from his earliest youth, he has sacrificed to the public good, and of those signal blessings which he has been so instrumental in securing to us all. But while our gratitude at ends him to his retreat, while our prayers invoke heaven for his safety and his happiness, let us show ourselves worthy of the lot we possess; bitter the last hours of his life by blasting the glorious fruits of his administration, and obscuring the bright prospects which it has opened to our view, by electing as his successor a person who may undo all that he has done. For easy it is to pull down, but hard to build up. Let us guard the happiness we possess, and transmit it to our children. Above all, let us cherish the constitution which has been the instrument of that happiness. Let us not entrust it into the hands of those who have prospered, and who hate the measures by which we have prospered. To ascertain who are the friends of our government, and who ought to be entrusted with its administration, let us ask the candidates for our suffrages these questions: 1st. Did you not approve the ratification of the
2d. Have you not disapproved in general the measures of the administration? 3d. Did you not, and do you not, approve of the conduct of the house of representatives in their attempt, during the last session of congress, to usurp the powers of the president and senate? 4th. Are not the opposers of the constitution the enemies of the administration, and the approvers of the conduct of the house of representatives in their attempt last mentioned, the persons who exert themselves most to promote your election? The person who cannot answer in the negative to all, particularly to the three last questions, whatever may be his private virtues, is unfit to be entrusted with the appointment of so important an officer as the president of the United States, on whose firmness and wisdom the maintenance of our constitution, of our laws, and of our peace, materially depend. It may be thought that, in a publication like this, the pretensions of the various candidates for the presidency, ought to be discussed. This is a task which properly belongs to the electors when they meet, and to them I am disposed to leave it. If we are so careful in choosing our electors as to appoint only those who have manifested an uniform zeal and attachment to the government of their country, we may safely confide that they will bestow their votes on the men most likely to maintain our constitution, and the present happy order of things. I cannot be so credulous as to believe that this can be expected from those who are enemies to both. A FARMER.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PARIS, 28th Messidor. Orders given by general Buonaparte, to the consul of the French republic at Leghorn, 10 Messidor, June 28. "The consul of the French republic shall put the seals upon all the magazines belonging to the English, to the emperor, to the empress of Russia, and in general to all the princes or subjects of the states with which we are at war; he shall make an inventory of the goods. "He shall take all steps, adopt all measures, and employ all necessary means to discover the merchandise which may have been deposited, with the different merchants at Leghorn—of that property he shall take possession. (Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
In execution of the order of the general, the consul of the French republic invites all the inhabitants of the city of Leghorn and its environs, whatever nation and quality they may be, who possess, under the name of deposit, or any other name, effects, merchandise, silver, gold, money, jewels, horses, furniture, &c. belonging to the subjects of Great-Britain, the empire, Russia, or other enemies of the republic, to deliver in the course of to-morrow, 12 Messidor (June 30, old style) to the consul himself, a detailed account, and true declaration of the effects and sums of money, which belong to the above-mentioned states, enemies of the republic.
Those who have contracted with the enemies of the republic in any manner and form soever, are equally to make their declaration to the consul of the republic, which is to serve simply as a necessary measure to the examination of them.
The consul particularly invites the French to point out to him the effects hidden, deposited, or alienated by pretended sales, or in any other manner—no motive for retaining them shall be admitted, because it is proved that the French citizens have at different times been despoiled or injured by the blind measures of the enemies of the republic in the port of Leghorn, and that even force and violence have been employed.
It is therefore the legitimate right of reprisal which the French republic exerts, and a restitution of its property, equally just, which it claims to-day, conformably to the right of all nations.
As soon as the declarations have been made, measures shall be taken to ascertain their exactness, and to assure the sequestration of the said effects.
Those who shall neglect making declarations, or shall make them incomplete, will expose themselves to severe researches, and to fatal consequences, which, out of regard to their own interest, they ought not to subject themselves to.
The intention of the general in chief is that all the property of the enemies of the republic be delivered into the hands of the republic as prizes taken by sea; in consequence and by this consideration, all researches, all trials, all condemnations, are attached to the consular jurisdiction.
Leghorn, 11 Messidor (29th June) 4th year of the republic.

Frankfurt, July 19. Not a single Austrian is to be seen for twenty leagues in circumference on the other side of the Rhine. The imperial troops retreat by forced marches through the forest of Odenwald, towards Heilbronn, in order to form a junction, if possible, with the army of the Upper Rhine, and to retire in concert behind the Danube. This precipitate movement is attributed to the approach of a column of the French army of the Rhine towards Dourlach, whence it will probably proceed to Ulm, with a view of cutting off their retreat. Yesterday general Kleber, at the head of his two divisions, marched from the vicinity of this town, and has already reached Alschaffembourg, whence he is to proceed to Wurzburg. The elector of Palatine has ordered his troops immediately to quit the Austrian army. The duke of Deux-Points has set out for Berlin with his whole family. On Monday night the bombardment of Konigsstein commenced. The fire continued from midnight to nine in the morning.

The Members of the Philadelphia Society for the information and assistance of persons emigrating from foreign countries, are requested to attend a stated meeting to be held this Evening at 7 o'clock, at the College in Fourth-street—at which time the general election of officers of the society, and other particular business, will be transacted. JOHN BROWN, secr'y.
Agreeably to the act incorporating the Society for the relief of distressed Pilots, their widows and children, the Members thereof are requested to attend their general meeting at the Carpenters' Hall, in the court leading up to the Bank of the United States, on Monday the 10th inst. (October) at six o'clock in the evening, in order to elect their officers for the ensuing year, and transact other business of said Society.
An American gentleman at Paris writes to his friend at New-York, dated July 15, and speaks very highly of the state of that city. Manufactures are encreasing, and building is carried on upon the most extensive scale. Bread is very low, work plentiful, and the price of labor greatly augmented—[Even the beggars wear silk gowns and silk petticoats—see the Aurora.]
From an Irish paper.
The following method has been found serviceable in many fever cases, and is within the reach of all descriptions of persons—As soon as the person discovers the symptoms of the complaint, take three quarts of spring water, in which put a piece of bread, well toasted; cover it up close, and let it near the fire until it is blood warm; at the same time prepare some boiling water, in which steep a large piece of flannel, and wring it as hot as possible; wrap this round the feet of the patient, and cover them well up with another flannel, dry; when the patient is put into a bed well warmed, then drink one half of the water with the toast in it, and in an hour after the other half. If it be a spotted fever, put half a calf's pelt raw, at the bottom of each foot, within the wet flannel. This has been known, if the fever has not been past the height, to remove it in two hours.
COMMUNICATIONS.
If the people of this commonwealth wish to preserve the peace and prosperity they at present enjoy, they will not give their suffrages for men of an equivocal character, who having no fixed principles, will vote according to the impulse of the moment, and perhaps sacrifice at the shrine of party the precious interests of their country.
Pennsylvania holds the most important station in the Union—By being decisive in her politics as a federal member of the great family of the United States, she will complete and fix the character of the whole people on a basis never to be shaken—and blast forever the hopes of that faction whose derisive resort is in dividing this commonwealth from the great federal interest of the Union.
MR. FENNO.
I am extremely pleased with the extract from the works of the great founder of Pennsylvania, published in your Gazette of last evening. There is nothing pertaining to elections which merit the reprobation of freemen more than the European artifices of free gifts on the part of candidates, by which not only individuals, but bodies of men, are seduced from their independency. "A gift (says Solomon) bindeth the eyes of the wife." This is so well known, that men of the most slender abilities often practise on the principle with success.
In our young government, every appearance of corruption, however gilded and specious, should be treated with abhorrence and indignation. Attempts of this nature betray a base and sordid mind; and those who are guilty of them, however great their apparent veneration for the people may be, in their hearts they must cordially despise those who are duped by their largesses. The following lines were written thirty years ago.
"When suffrages are put to sale, For wine, for money, or for ale, The sellers must be abject slaves, The buyers, vile designing knaves: And 't has a proverb been of old, The devil's bought, but to be sold, For when elections are not free, In vain we boast of liberty. Last night, in traversing the street, A candidate I chanc'd to meet; With friendly grip he squeez'd my hand, His services at my command— But finding that I scorn'd his pay, The dirty rascal sneak'd away. Place me of Scotland in the middle, Tormented with the tickling fiddle; Yet still disdaining to be sold, My fingers ne'er should itch for gold. Let others barter if they please, Their votes for punch, and bread and cheese; I'll call them allies, fools and slaves, And they who treat them rogues & knaves."
MR. FENNO.
Our papers have copied from a London Paper, the opinion, or decision pronounced in the Court of Admiralty in Great Britain in the case of the ship Clarissa. Some remarks on this judgment have been published by the Editors of the Minerva, and Aurora, which appear to me neither candid, nor in point. It is very probable that the London Papers have given but a very imperfect sketch of the argument, as a very slight attention to the circumstances of the case will shew that many obvious objections, connected with it, are omitted. In its present form however, it coincides with the principles on which Admiralty causes of a similar kind have been determined in this country, as will appear from the

following decision in our court of appeals. Its publication may serve to dissipate apprehensions excited by the comments of those who appear to have totally mistaken the subject.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON, Esq. in behalf of ANTHONY AMELIO, and others, petitioners, for the admission of an appeal from the Admiralty Court of the State of South-Carolina, condemning the Sloop Chester, her apparel and cargo. vs. The owners, masters and mariners, of the Brig. Experiment, & the Brigantine Fair American.
THE Court having considered the evidence and arguments adduced by the counsel for the petitioners and respondents are of opinion, that there is not sufficient cause to admit the appeal of the petitioners from the decree of the court of admiralty in the State of South-Carolina, condemning the Sloop Chester her apparel and cargo. If the appeal should be admitted, it must be on this principle, that there had been such irregularities in the proceedings as that justice and right required, that the cause should be reheard in order to do that justice here, which had not been done in the court below. The irregularity suggested is, that the captors did not bring or send the master of the captured vessel in order to be enquired of touching the property &c. nor produce the document mentioned by the master in his protest, and that for want thereof a condemnation had taken place. However blameable the captors may have been in omitting to send or bring the master before the admiralty court, and in not producing said document, such omission alone is not sufficient to set aside the decree and rehear the cause, unless it appeared that substantial justice has been thereby prevented. In this case upon an examination of all the evidence produced, it appears that the condemnation of the Sloop Chester must have taken place if the same evidence had been offered in the admiralty court. Peter Theodore Vantylengen appears to have been a merchant in a British settlement in the Bay of Honduras not having a transient residence, but carrying on trade from that settlement like other inhabitants. It is not material to whom his natural allegiance was due, he was enjoying the privileges, and subject to the inconveniences of other merchants residing in the same place. The Sloop Chester appears to have been a British vessel possessed of British papers, purchased by Vantylengen and employed by him; and although he might have executed a bill of sale of her to certain subjects of the United Netherlands with whom the United States were at peace and amity, for the purpose as he expressed it of preventing her being taken. Such a transfer cannot be considered as bona fide, but from the tenor of the instructions of the said Vantylengen to the master of the Sloop, that transfer appears to have been intended merely to deceive and cover under the name of a friend, property which ought to be considered as that of an enemy. Examining the protest made by the master of the Sloop Chester it does not appear that he was prevented by the captors from going to Charleston, but on the contrary, his going on shore at St. Eustatia, upon the privateers leaving that place, seems to have been in consequence of his own volition. For these reasons the court do not admit the appeal of the said petitioners; and it is considered by the court that the petition be dismissed; but as some irregularities on the part of the captors have given colour for the petition, the court do not award costs to the respondents.

New-York, 3d of May, 1787.
MR. FENNO, I SHOULD suppose Mr. Swanwick, or his friends, would think it necessary to give a reason or an apology for his vote in opposition to a measure, on the adoption of which, he himself confessed the safety of the constitution and the peace of the United States depended—He will be pleased to say, whether he did not declare, that Mr. Muhlenberg had saved this country by a vote directly in opposition to that given by himself—He dare not deny this fact.
Whether the measure was really a proper one, or as it respects Mr. Swanwick's declaration wholly immaterial—He thought it was essential to the interest and existence of our government, and yet voted against it.
I will not say that the vote was procured by corruption, but every idea of attachment to the country was certainly sacrificed—What must every man think and feel who hears this, and who is either by election or birth an American?
A PENNSYLVANIAN.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, October 4. The following particulars are extracted from Jamaica papers, handed to us by captain O'Connor of the barque Neptune.
KINGSTON, August 27. A Sloop, flag of truce, failed from Port-Royal Saturday morning, with twelve French officers, in the Renomme frigate, for Cape Francois. The Sloop La Carida arrived at Port Royal late Monday evening, with dispatches for general Balcarres.
This vessel had been sent a few days before from Port-Royal, with a supply of rum, wine, beef, pork, &c. for Irois, and other out posts; but on her arrival was immediately ordered here, without being permitted to deliver one article.
It appears that Irois and another post had experienced an incessant attack for some days, and that the enemy, occupying a height from which they could successfully annoy our forces, a line of battle ship was indispensably necessary to cover the troops in their attack on this post and the position of the assailants army. Our loss has been very trifling, while that of the enemy has been considerable; upwards of 80 white men from Aux-Cayes have fallen in the different actions.
Six hundred fresh troops have arrived at Irois from the Mole; and there is not the least appre-
hension that the enemy can succeed. We are sorry to add, that general Bowyer has been wounded in the breast.
Extract of a letter from Jeremie, dated Aug. 21.
"It is now 15 days since our camps have been attacked; persuaded that being accustomed to conquer, would still ensure us victory, our hopes were realised in the eastern quarter, and the enemy were completely beaten at Port Raimond. This success, as complete as could be hoped for at an advanced post, only cost us two white men, and to the brigands, 200 men of all colours. Rigaud, without any success, laid siege to the camp of Irois for 15 days, with a column situated on the hill called Marie Louise, and another upon that of Madame Lucie. We would have acted properly to have left them to be dispersed through chagrin, since neither their cannon nor their bombs produced any effect; but the impatience of our chiefs, was, unluckily, of great service to our enemy. The dependency persuaded that a decisive victory in this quarter would, for a long time, give peace, had found plenty of soldiers, as well as individuals, in a condition to carry arms. Those who by their age and their employment could be excused from carrying them, wished even to have their share in the laurels which they believed would be gathered under the shade of the crest of general Bowyer, who had decided, that the army collected at Ance de Nault and L'Islet, should march in two columns, and that M. de Sevray, commandant at Irois, should go out of the fort with 400 men, to make the third column. That of L'Islet set out at nine o'clock at night, to go to take its position, so as to flank the wood. We were upon the march with a field piece at two in the morning, and at six we were in sight of the enemy. M. d'Anglade, who commanded the column from L'Islet, began the fire."
"General Bowyer seconded him briskly, by beginning his fire sooner than he wished, as our black troops were struck with a panic, and had deserted the regular troops, leaving them exposed to the whole fire of the enemy. General Bowyer, in order to animate the troops, appeared on foot at the head of his troops; but being immediately after wounded by a ball in the left breast, he was forced to leave the party, and to order a retreat, seeing that the negroes who dragged the field-piece had abandoned it. All the officers that were wounded were luckily brought off, and general Bowyer remounted his horse, being happily only very slightly wounded. M. d'Anglade, having carried two outposts, retired in good order. He was likewise wounded, but very slightly."
Extract of a letter from the same place, dated August 22.
"The brave general Bowyer has shown himself worthy of the post he holds. He is beloved by every person. His wound creates no fear of danger. We are going to arm all the negroes we can, and we have the greatest hopes from that step. There is no reason to doubt, that if our two generals had not been wounded, we should have had a complete victory, in particular over those who were repulsed at the camp of Rivaux, and the camp of Centre, with the greatest vigour."
"The Schooner Fidele is sent down express to Kingston, to demand assistance, as well as the commodore as to the general. For a ship of the line, which would be of the greatest consequence to us."
"In consequence of the pressing demand of the inhabitants of Grande Anse, the commodore will sail from Port-Royal on Sunday morning for Irois, with the Cormorant, Jamaica and Undaunted, and transports under their convoy, having on board 300 men."
"The Polly and Phoebe touched at Curacao, and brought from it colonel Vandabels, commander of the land forces, his wife and three children. Ten other officers quitted the place nearly at the same time, for different English islands."
"So completely has the French faction, in that unfortunate colony, triumphed over all good order and subordination, that these gentlemen, finding their posts no longer tenable with honour or safety, very properly abandoned them. At the head of a large mass, which the fraternising miscreants had organised, the national cockade, and an oath to be faithful to the French republic, was universally tendered, accompanied with every act of insult and violence, and left them no other alternative than flight."
MONTego-BAY, August 27. The following paragraph is copied from the Kingston Diary of last Monday:
"A confirmation of the defeat of the French in their attack on Irois, is brought by a vessel which touched at Aux-Cayes. The loss is stated as very unfavourable indeed."
BOSTON, September 27. Extract of a letter from Charleston of the 12th September, that may be relied on.
"Our city at this time is as healthy as has been known for many years, the fever has taken off many, but few sick at this time."
By the Schooner Isabella, Capt. Driscoll, arrived at the Port.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) August 31.
The dispatches brought by lieut. Mann, and by him conveyed immediately to the commander in chief, were put on board the Port Royal, by the captain of the Magicienne frigate, in the offing on Monday. The Magicienne was from Gibraltar, and sent by general O'Hara to give notice to the governors in the West-India islands of a rupture having taken place between the Powers of England and Spain, she is said likewise to bring information of the Spanish forces, so long since collected before Gibraltar having attacked that fortress and been completely repulsed. The frigate on her passage captured a very rich Spanish ship and sent her into one of the windward islands, part of her crew (to the number of fifty) she put on board the Port-Royal. The above is a recapitulation of all the intelligence said to be bro't by her—but by many persons the attack on Gibraltar is thought to be false, that a formidable camp has been formed before the place, there is little doubt of. The Spanish ship taken, is said to be from a French port, of consequence, her capture is the effect of her having a French cargo on board. On the whole it is to be hoped, that there is no foundation for believing a rupture has
taken place, yet the report has wrought so much upon the minds of the people of this town, that privateering is universally talked of.—Should the dispatches of the commander in chief contain intelligence of so important a nature, it is hoped he will not keep them long a secret.
Passengers in the Sophia, Mr. McLean, and Mr. Pinto in Eliza, Mr. Hewett, Mr. Kennon, Mr. Shetall; Mr. Salom, Mr. Steele; Mr. Richardson, and Mrs. McNeill.

The following letter from Mr. Donaldson, dated at Leghorn the 10th of July last, shows that the measures taken to effect a treaty between the United States and Tunis, had not then succeeded. It is published for the purpose expressed in the letter itself. It is also to be noted, that no treaty has yet been made with Tripoli.
Copy of a letter from Joseph Donaldson, to Stephen Cabot, Consul of the United States at Mar-seilles, dated Leghorn July 2, 1796, and received at the Department of State.
Sir, This moment I am informed by letter from Tunis, that the American Schooner Eliza, Samuel Graves, has been sent in there by one of their privateers, contrary to an arrangement made by me in November last, and which will not expire until the 8th of this instant.
You will do well to caution my countrymen against the cruizers of Tunis and Tripoli. Signed, JOSEPH DONALDSON, Jun.
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
The following extract is copied from a London paper of July 30, 1796.
Extract of a letter from Alicante, June 28.
"The beginning of this month a most terrible and obstinate battle was fought near Corsica, between an Algerine over and two Neapolitan frigates, joined by one of the Pope's gards coasters. The action was fierce, long, and bloody; it lasted from ten o'clock in the morning till four in the afternoon, without intermission; the combatants were for a long time within pistol shot of each other. The pirate suffered much, being most of the time between an incessant and well directed fire, which cut away great part of their rigging, and made terrible havoc amongst the men; yet the Russians fought with an uncommon degree of desperation, and attempted many times to board, but were as often repulsed with great loss. The captain and all the officers were killed in the heat of the action—the former had both his legs taken off by a chain-shot, as he was firing a blunderbuss, yet the barbarian refused to be taken from the deck, and died whilst giving the word of command. This loss did not in the least intimidate the terrible crew, who fought like furies, swearing in various tongues they would not strike while a man or boy was left alive. The Christians were equally obstinate, and fought like lions throughout the whole conflict, and shewed great bravery and skill—they were to a man fully determined to conquer or die. Unluckily one of the frigates, which bore the greatest stress in the action, took fire, and in spite of every exertion, soon blew up, when most of the crew perished. Another misfortune befell itself a short time after, which was the loss of the Pope's cruiser, which was sunk by the enemy's shot, after a gallant resistance. In this situation the other frigate was obliged to be towed away, leaving the Algerine like a log upon the water, having her fore and mainmast carried away by the board, and her hull so much pierced and shattered, that it was almost impossible she could ever fetch Algiers. The pirate fought under the bloody flag, and mounted 34 guns, besides pateraroes; the frigates had 20 guns each; & the Pope's cruiser 10, and 8 swivels."
Extract of a letter from the Capt. of the brig Cincinnati, at Halifax, dated the 10th September, to Mr. John Gardiner, the owner in this city.
"I am detained here by admiral Murray's squadron, being sent in on account of sailing from a Dutch colony; the brig is not yet libelled. The Assistance came in here yesterday with a French frigate taken by the squadron. When my vessel is cleared, I shall be unable to proceed for want of people."

Mr. PRINTER, Your publishing the following may oblige some of your readers who have admiralty causes depending in England.
The brigantine Maryland, John Stran, master, sailed from Baltimore in August 1793, bound to Bordeaux, loaded with coffee. In prosecution of her voyage on the coast of Europe, she was captured by the letter of marque, the Prince of Wales, belonging to Liverpool, and the captain, instead of ordering her to the nearest port for trial, sent her to Montserrat, in the West-Indies, where the vessel and her cargo were condemned. An appeal was lodged and has terminated favorably for the proprietors as appears from the following copy of a letter from the proctor employed by the agents of the owners in the above case.
"Privy council chamber, July 16, 1796."
"The Maryland, John Stran, master."
"GENTLEMEN, "I have very great pleasure in informing you of my having to-day obtained a reversal of the sentence of condemnation of this vessel and cargo, and a decree of the lords of appeal for the restitution of the same, or the true value thereof, and their lordships have reserved the question of costs and damages until it shall be ascertained whether the capture was made by a privateer or by a merchant ship having a letter of marque. I have no doubt of its having been made by a privateer, and have therefore every expectation of getting the captor condemned in costs and damages."
"I am, &c. (Signed) "CHAS. BISHOP."
Captain Stanwood, arrived here from Leogane, informs, that on his passage from New-York, he was taken on the 13th July and carried in there, his cargo taken from him by the administration, and vessel detained 50 days, during which time his mate and all his hands died. He was obliged to pay ten joes to get his vessel clear, without receiving payment or security for his cargo.
Fifteen or sixteen American vessels were lying in Leogane, their cargoes taken out, vessels under condemnation, masters and supercargoes confined on board and not allowed to go on shore to take any refreshment, or to seek redress, on pain of being imprisoned in a dungeon.
Capt. Stanwood left the following American vessels in Leogane on trial—

Treasury of the United States.
NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, included in addition to an act, intitled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital." Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will, then then added, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock."
2d. All distinction between payments on account of Interest and Principal being thus abolished by the establishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above described, it has become necessary to vary accordingly, the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the date of this notice, viz.

In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my Hand and Seal the day of _____ in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety six.

And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when completed, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most supension indispensable.
