A very valuable MERCHANT MILL,
A DISTILLERY and BREWERY, and sundry STONE QUARRIES to be let.
I will rent my merchant Mill at the little Falls of Potomac, for any term not less than seven, nor more than eleven years, from the first day of September next. The mill-house is 42 by 40 feet, three stories high, built with stone, and has in it three pairs of French Burr Stones, two overhauled 18-foot water-wheels, and Evans's machinery complete, with every other thing proper and necessary for carrying on the business with dispatch, and at as little expense as possible, all in good order.—From the mill to my landing on the Potomac river, (where craft of any burthen may deliver grain and take in flour) it is about 40 yards, and from thence by water to George-Town and the City of Washington, about 3 miles, and to Alexandria about 11 miles. This situation, aided by a sufficient capital, will command the produce of a very extensive back country, where large quantities of wheat and other grain is annually made, the distance to it being from 8 to 10 miles less than to any market town upon the navigation of the Potomac. There are on the premises a large stone Coopers' shop, a stone granary, and a commodious miller's house. At the landing aforesaid a bridge is now building over the Potomac, which is in great forwardness and probably will be finished the ensuing fall. There are also on the premises, a Brewery and Distillery, built with stone, in them are three stills, two coppers or boilers, with every necessary article, all new, and in good order, and sufficiently large to carry on the Brewery and Distillery upon a very extensive plan. This property I will rent for the same term of years.
Upon my lands adjoining the premises, and along the banks of the river, where craft may lead with ease and dispatch, is an immense quantity of building and foundation-stones. Four quarries are now open, and as many more may be opened with ease: the stone taken from these quarries is better, and has the preference at this market, to any other stone brought to it. I will rent these quarries separately or together as may best suit.
On the top of the hill, and about 200 yards from the mill, is a stone Dwelling-house, large enough for the accommodation of a family: also, a kitchen, dairy, smoke-house, &c. and a garden, enclosed and in cultivation, the soil of which is equal in goodness to any in this state. I will also rent this property.
Adjoining to the Brewery and Distillery is a Smith's shop, in which is a complete set of Blacksmith's tools, which I will also rent, and if agreeable I will hire to the tenant two negro blacksmiths, one of them is a complete workman.
If I rent out the stone quarries, I will sell three crans, which were built for the purpose of carrying stone: they will altogether bring upwards of 90 perch. Immediate possession will be given. For terms apply to the subscriber in this town.
The Mill, Brewery and Distillery, with their appurtenances, will be delivered to the tenant or tenants in good repair, and must be so returned, at the expiration of the lease or leases.

CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, By the late arrivals.
MADRID, June 4.
The number of our ships of war is encreased to sixty, and it is added, that the court of Naples, returning to the influence of our cabinet, will unite its maritime force with that of Spain, in case of a rupture with England.
June 6.
The Duke de Crillon Mahon, Captain General of the armies, died here last month, at the age of 80. It is calculated, that he has been in 68 different engagements.
It is extraordinary that the public papers have not sooner announced this loss which Spain has sustained. The Duke de Crillon, of all their Generals, commanded the Spanish armies with the greatest success in the year 1780, against the English. It was he who in that war took the island of Minorca, from England. After having served long in France, his native country, at the conclusion of the seven years war, he passed with the approbation of the French government into the service of Spain, where he acquired the first military rank. Not having taken any part in the last war of the Spaniards against the French, he had a very active share in the peace which terminated it.
The title of Duke of Mahon, destined to perpetuate the remembrance of his victories, has passed to the youngest of his sons by a third marriage. The two eldest sons of the Duke de Crillon, have a title more precious in the eyes of their country, were both members of the constituent assembly, both faithful to the cause of freedom, they placed their glory in the sacrifices which liberty demanded of them. Great distinctions awaited them, had they wished to leave their country; but they preferred the honor of remaining French citizens. Even persecution, which they did not escape, has not weakened their constancy. This example of devotion to the republic, far exceeds the patriotism of many who boast of their disinterestedness, while the revolution has been to them a mine of gold, or who have set a high price upon very trifling services.
ITALY, June 20.
A French convoy of 25 ships are arrived on the coast of Genoa, which have been pursued in vain by the English ships of war.
A conspiracy has been discovered at Mantua, to give up the city to the French. Several pieces of cannon, at the part where the French were to make the attack, were found only charged with powder and sand. The conspirators have been arrested, and the French, when they appeared before that part, were received with hail.
The strong bridge which the French had thrown over the Po, at Piacenza, is furnished with artillery, and constantly guarded by 1500 men.
A magnificent house is prepared at Milan for the lady of general Buonaparte, who is expected there. The French army before Mantua, is now estimated at 40,000 men.
MILAN, June 14.
General Buonaparte is, it is said, gone to Paris, to confer personally with the Directory, and receive new instructions for his future operations. He is expected to return within a fortnight. Citizen Pinfot has been appointed commissary of the French army in the room of Salicetti.
On the 12th three deputies set out from this city to Paris, to notify to the French government the wish of the inhabitants of Milan, that the Milanese and the rest of Lombardy may be changed into a republic.
When the deputies were about to depart, a great multitude of people was assembled. The president of the municipality made a discourse to them, in which he said, "that all the municipalities, legally assembled, had expressed their wish that the country might be changed into a republic." One of the deputies replied, and assured the president, that he would exert himself to the utmost in the execution of his mission, that the people might be gratified in their wish for republican liberty. Another of the deputies (Serbelloni) at his departure, took off the key he wore as chamberlain, and declared that as he was now a freeman, he would no longer wear the badge of slavery.
The new French Commissary, Pinfot, has ordered that all persons who are indebted to the Austrian government, the Archduke Ferdinand, the Emigrants or the powers at war with France, shall give them in, under pain of paying double; all feudal rights, exclusive rights of the chase, all armorial bearings and liveries, are abolished. All diplomas of nobility are to be given in, within a week, and burnt. No person is to bear any other title, except professional, than that of citizen. Inventories are to be made of all the silver utensils and ornaments in the churches.
The conditions of the French peace with Sardinia are now completely executed. The cities of Valenza and Alessandria, are now in possession of the French.
AUSBOURG, June 16.
Gen. Cervoni quitted Parma on the 1st June, for the purpose of taking the command of the advanced guard of the French army, in the room of General Laharpe.
BRUSSELS, June 30.
The Austrian army commanded by the Archduke Charles advances upon Dusseldorf. According to intelligence from the banks of the Rhine, the enemy is only at the distance of a league and a half: under these circumstances General Kleber has thought proper to concentrate all his forces in the front of Kayserwerth and Dusseldorf, for the purpose of connecting the defence of these two places, the attack of which must present great difficulties to the Austrians, so long as the French shall remain masters of the communication with the left bank of the Rhine. They work night and day in completing the exterior fortifications and the batteries. A multitude of laborers are continually employed upon these works.
Besides, General Kleber has ordered to be pulled down, about one hundred houses, chateaus, and other edifices, which surrounded Dusseldorf, and which made the environs of that city one of the most agreeable situations in Europe. These evils are the inevitable consequences of the unfortunate war carried on so obstinately on the two banks of the Rhine.
PARIS, June 27.
Yesterday evening at seven o'clock we attacked the enemy in the wood, which was their most advantageous position; they were forced to retreat, and we took 30 prisoners. Our left wing has advanced to Bilshoffheim, the centre is at Offenburg; and the right wing near Akenheim. An Austrian cavalier, taken prisoner, assured us, that the Prince of Conde's army made part of the Austrian army, and that it amounted to 16,000 men; but that is of no consequence (added the prisoner) you will take them all, for they tremble like hares, and the Austrian General requires, that they shall be placed at the head of the army. We hope, that they will fight in despair; they will thereby induce our troops to emulate them.
June 28.
Prisoners continue to be made in great numbers. The enemy have been forced in their entrenchments, and obliged to fly. They have set fire to their magazines to prevent their falling into our hands. We are now two leagues beyond Offenburg.
July 5.
OFFICIAL DETAILS.
Hausman to the Executive Directory.
Strasburg, 6th Messidor (June 24.)
The attacks of the entrenchments of Kehl were attended with great difficulties, all of which, however, were overcome by our troops.
Among the traits of courage displayed by the troops, the most remarkable was the manner in which the first redoubt was taken; the soldiers, after having leaped into the ditch before they scaled the walls, overwhelmed the enemy with a shower of stones. This new manœuvre made the troops in the redoubt stoop, and the republicans immediately jumped upon the parapet, and took possession of the redoubt. We had no artillery until we took some pieces from the enemy.
The general in chief to the executive directory, dated head-quarters at Moncontour, 4th Messidor.
CITIZEN DIRECTORS,
I announce to you, that the principal Chouans of the department of Morbihan have made their submission to the laws of the republic, and that the inhabitants of the plains, following their example, lay down their arms, which they had received from a hostile government.
The chief Vendean, Beaumelle, being found with arms in his hand, has been killed—in consequence of his death they have found four barrels of powder and four chests of charges for cannon.
The emigrants, Monjean and Grandgou, arrested in the house of the former have been tried, condemned to die, and executed. A great number of the same description, by an expeditious departure, have escaped a similar fate.
(Signed) L. HOCHÉ.
LONDON, July 5.
The scheme of operations of the French armies is not sufficiently understood in this country to enable us to form a proper estimate of its merits. Military men who know the country, however, speak of it with the highest commendation. They say it is a plan conceived with equal enterprize and skill; it defeats every project that the Austrians formed for the campaign; since if Prince Charles should detach from his army a body of men sufficient to enable Wurmser to attack Moreau, he must expose the important line of the river Main to Jourdan, who would assuredly again cross the Rhine; and even an attack by Wurmser would not be disastrous to Moreau, while the French have secured the bridges for their retreat.
On the other hand, if prince Charles does not detach, it is likely that Moreau will form a junction with Kellerman, who has hardly anything to oppose his passage by the Lake of Constance, except the feeble garrisons of Landau and Bregenz; and, this junction once effected, the Austrian armies must retreat from the Rhine to save the very heart of Germany.
In the mean time, even if these grand projects should fail, the French have succeeded in turning the war into the enemy's country. The fertile sides of the Brissgau not merely save their own crops, but deprive the Austrians of their only near supplies, and force them to draw all their subsistence from the Main and Neckar.
July 12.
A gentleman on Thursday trailing for pikes at Broad Creek, near Cambridge, drew out of his pocket with his handkerchief a small red letter case containing bank bills to the amount of 781. and ten guineas and a half in gold, which fell into the water. Some persons present, on the prospect of a reward of ten guineas, drew the hole, when several pikes were caught, but no appearance of the pocket-book. The gentleman at length took home his pikes, in one of which, of about 7 pounds, on being opened, was found the letter case not much injured, and its valuable contents no otherwise affected than in being wet.—Leicester Journal.
Experiments are now making in the North of Ireland, with success, for mixing hemp and flax together in the manufacture of coarse linens, which proceeds will considerably lower the price of them. The Cotton Manufactory.—It is with much satisfaction we received the following interesting fact of the cotton manufactory in the North of England: "We see, (says Dr. Aikin, in his late history of the country round Manchester) "that 20,000 laid out for raw materials for this trade, in twenty years magnified into more than 7,000,000. and 50,000 spindles into 2,000,000."

Tax on Breeches! —A curious report is circulating, that the Minister means, on the meeting of Parliament, to move "that a licence, value two guineas be taken out annually by every person wearing breeches."—If this be true, we strongly recommend the Board of Agriculture to take into their most serious consideration "the culture of the Fig Tree ."
Dumourier has lately published a pamphlet of 136 pages, in which he recants his former sentiments and expresses a wish to return to France. "The sovereign people (says he) was spoken; and every Frenchman should either submit or renounce his country." He approves of the new Constitution, but laments that by it Emigrants should for ever be banished their country. With respect to the question of peace, France, he thinks, cannot procure that blessing, without renouncing her conquests. He concludes by making the following overture for his return—This proscribed portion (meaning himself) detests factions, but loves his country, that country which, whatever his enemies may say, he has once saved, and will again save, if he should be recalled in a dangerous crisis."
July 13.
Last night we received some Dutch papers of as late a date as the 3d inst.
It appears now to be the wish of the Batavian National Convention, to put all the Dutch burghers into requisition.
As our papers come down as low as the 3d inst. we think we can safely say, that no important operation had taken place on the Lower Rhine before the 1st. The reports of the Archduke having fallen back towards Mentz and Franckfort, are rather circulated, we believe, in consequence of any authentic information. We still think that the Austrians will attempt to cross the Rhine below Coblenz, and take Dusseldorf. By putting the Dutch burghers in requisition, we suspect that the French feel themselves weak on the Lower Rhine.
Letters to his Majesty, and the Royal Family, were received by the last West India mail from his Royal Highness Prince Edward, who is with his regiment on duty, and will not return home till the war is concluded, when he will be called up to the House of Peers as Duke of Cumberland. Prince Ernest, his brother, will about the same time be created Duke of Lancaster.
The master and wardens of the company of bakers, yesterday waited upon the Lord Mayor to set the affixe of bread, on the return of Monday's market, made by the meal weighers. Wheat had fallen 7/4 the quarter, yet flour was continued to be sold at 64s. per sack. His Lordship, after commenting on this circumstance, directed the price of bread to be 10-1-4 the quarter loaf, to take place to-morrow.
A letter from Genoa, of the 21st June, states, that the French had formally taken possession of the Imperial Fiefs in the name of the French Republic, and had exacted an oath of fidelity from the inhabitants.
Several letters from Venice state, that after a long conference between the French Venetian commissaries, the Venetian Senate has come to a determination of paying five millions of ducats to the French, and of forming an army of 25,000 Venetians and Dalmatians, and of equipping a fleet, in order to act in concert with the French troops, for the purpose of despoiling the house of Austria of Trieste, Fiume, and the Frioul, which will be united to the territories of the Venetian Republic.
The three united divisions of Lefebvre, Collaud, and Grenier, passed the Sieg on the morning of the 30th, and the patrols had pushed on as far as Ukerath.
NORFOLK, September 3.
Captain Southwick, of the Schooner Ramping Polly, arrived here yesterday from Port au Prince, in 16 days, informs, that flour sold as low as 12 dollars; pork and beef at 15 and 16 dollars per barrel, and every other kind of provisions equally cheap: that the British troops were very sickly, 80 and 100 dying in the 24 hours. A vessel from New York had lost her captain and the whole of the crew by the contagion; and every vessel were losing some of their crew.—That the French privateers continue their depredations on our trade, by seizing our shipping, and carrying them into Leogane, where they are certain of being condemned.
BALTIMORE, September 8.
In contemplating the present state of Spain, an attentive observer will discover strong reasons for concluding that a complete and total revolution, political, moral, and social, in that country, is at no great distance. The ascendancy of French principles is evident, by the terms of the peace concluded with the republic, by the treatment which Frenchmen experience in Spain, and by the warlike preparations making in every part of the Spanish dominions: For the acquisition of an influence so predominant, the French are principally indebted to the democratic disposition of the Spanish Minister—The Prince of Peace!—For what purpose that influence will be employed, it is not difficult to conjecture. The French will strenuously endeavour to diffuse the principles of democracy; and having poisoned the minds of the people, they will propose a declaration of war against England; which, if adopted, will encircle the embarrassment of the court, so as to render a closer connection with France a matter of necessity, while it will afford a plea to the disaffected first to declare against the government, and afterwards to destroy it. In short, the same game which was played by the Brissotine faction in France, in the years 1791 and 1792, will be attempted to be renewed in Spain by their successors; and, if renewed, will infallibly produce

the same effect—the annihilation of the monarchy. That a material change has been already produced in the minds of the Spaniards appears certain, from the new regulations adopted for the suppression of convents; a circumstance which, to any man who knows the genius and character of the nation, will, probably, be deemed decisive.
The present fashion among the ladies in London, is said to be a glaring violation of the decorous precept of the satyrist,
“Let not each beauty every where be spy’d, Where half the skill is decently to hide.”
The Montezuma, captain Chase, sailed from London four days before the Charleston, but put into Beachy Head, which they left the same day in company.
Mr. Wignell of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Theatres, arrived in London the day the Charleston failed.
In the Montezuma came the following passengers:
 Mr. R. H. Wilcocks, of Philadelphia,  Monsieur Fontier,  Mr. James Wilson, of Alexandria, and  Mr. W. Y. Lewis, of this town. 
The Montezuma sailed in company with the following vessels:
Ships Charleston, for Baltimore: Henry, Stanton, for Alexandria; Indian Chief, Skinner, for Madeira and the East Indies; Tamany, Ward, of New York, for Liverpool—Brig Harmony, for Savannah.
July 12, below Gravesend, spoke ship William Penn, captain Josiah, of and from Philadelphia, bound to London.
July 14, spoke ship Friendship of New York, last from Savannah, inside the Downs, for London.
The ship Friendship, captain Smith, was to leave London on the 20th July, for Baltimore.

Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, July 9—received by Capt. Boys.
“The French carry all before them in Italy and on the Rhine. The Citizen People have decreed that all the plate not immediately necessary for the worship of the Supreme Being, may be employed in carrying on the holy war against the French. So you may see he quakes violently, or he would not make use of such a resource.
“Flour a drug—7 1/2 to 2 dollars per barrel—and all kinds of provision in proportion.”
Extract of a letter dated Bourdeaux, July 12.
“Numerous corps of troops are continually marching from La Vendee to Italy. Buonaparte’s army will soon be 200,000 men strong. The left wing of that army, commanded by General Massena, had on the 1st inst. already pushed 20 leagues into Tyrol, and was marching against Brixen and Lientz. A column of the army of the Alps is advancing along the banks of the Inn, against Inspruck, the capital of Tyrol, and we expect that by this time the army of Italy, and that of the Rhine and Moselle will have effected their junction on the frontiers of Bavaria. The corps of 60,000 Neapolitan horse, who had escaped with the Austrians after the battle of Borghetto, have surrendered to the republicans, and were sent to Brescia, Lodi, and Cremona. Their horses, saddles, &c. were delivered up to the Republicans agreeably to treaty. It is also generally believed that an article of our treaty with Naples stipulates, that the king shall lend us five ships of the line and eight frigates.
“The successes of our armies in Germany and Italy are so decisive, that the Emperor will soon share the fate of the king of Sardinia. It is expected that England will at last pay the price of all the countries which the French Republic may agree to restore to the Pope, the Emperor and the German Princes at the conclusion of a general peace.
“There is plenty of all kinds of provisions in France; and the crop of this year is richer yet than that of last year.”
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
WE often read in your paper, and scarcely in any other printed in the city, of persons amongst us who seek to degrade the American name and character, and of persons who seek to involve us in war, conjured up, I suppose, like hobgoblins in terrorum.—The fact is, the reign of terror is past, and these things will probably soon grow entirely out of use by the abuse made of them.
Mr. Mackay’s proposition explains the meaning of the opposers of the treaty; for it was unquestionably brought forth and intended to be relied upon by them. By it will be seen, that those charged with seeking war, would in fact, for peace sake, have probably voted for the appropriation, had the state of our commerce warranted it; but with daily and aggravated impressments and spoliations before their eyes, they were desirous to suspend appropriations until satisfaction for past, and securities against future injuries was obtained.
Mr. Dearborn, in fact, made even a motion to agree to the appropriations conditionally, with a reliance on the executive interference in behalf of our commerce. Even this was denied, and then it was when the vote was forced unconditionally on the members—that many voted against it who might have voted for it, had the proposed condition of the vote been agreed to. A reference to the debates, as published by Mr. Bache, will fully prove and explain this. As to the shameful waste of time and public money in discussing it, the importance of the occasion certainly warranted the investigation it met with, and impartial posterity will judge of the force and wisdom of the argu-
ments adduced on either side; but if too much public time hath been already spent about it, it would perhaps be best, Mr. Fenno, not to increase that evil by extending it.
A. B.
*** This is not the first instance, in which the politeness and urbanity of this writer has led him to stigmatize the Gazette of the United States, when he has been proper to make it the vehicle of his remarks to the public. It may be true that this Gazette is almost the only one in this city, (and it is an honorable peculiarity) which contains observations similar to those A. B. objects to—It is not however distinguished for circulating those detestable productions in which it is attempted to degrade “the American name and character” below those of any other nation which ever existed. Nor is it distinguished by a pretended veneration for our republican government, and at the same time reviling the majority of the people. It is not distinguished by abuse of the Government for not pursuing measures that would involve the country in war, and at the same time deprecating war as the greatest of evils. What is the honorable characteristic of other papers printed in the city.—Is the Philadelphia Gazette of Friday, there is an article copied from the Kentucky Gazette, (which originally appeared in an eastern paper,) and is as follows.—
“LEXINGTON, August 6.
“If the French should succeed in their negotiation with Spain, and obtain possession of Louisiana, we shall be bound by a much stronger tie of interest to observe a good understanding with her government. The proximity of situation will give them greater opportunity of annoying us, should a continued course of unfriendly conduct towards them render such a resolution necessary.—Every American should be filled with confusion at reflecting on our deportment to this nation to whom we owe so much. Whilst on the one hand we have meanly crouched to Britain whenever she pleased to adopt the stile of a braggadocio, we have behaved to France with an insolence almost incredible. It is in vain that we seek for the motives of this conduct; they are hidden beyond the ken of the common eye. Reason, gratitude, justice, all oppose it: the friendship displayed by Britain could not allure us; for she has treated us in a manner so base that the pirates of Algiers themselves would blush to avow practices so contrary to the laws of nature and nations. And yet we have tamely borne it all!
“How natural was the warm enthusiastic expressions of Genet, when a manly indignation led him to cry out, “if your fellow-citizens have been deceived, if you are not in a condition to maintain the sovereignty of the people, speak; we have guaranteed it when slaves; we know how to render it respectable, having become free.” If this language was applicable when it was used, how much more so is it now.—Truly it appears that it is Water, it is Milk which creeps through the veins of Americans.” [Kentucky Gaz.]
That the above is a false representation, so far as it respects the Government of the United States, and the people of this country, no one will deny—Is it not then an infamous attempt to degrade the American name and character? And tho’ this remark may be confined to this Gazette only, it does not follow, that the greater justice is done to the people of the United States, by not publishing similar remarks in any other paper of the city. It is hoped A. B. will feel the propriety of taking his own hint at the conclusion of his essay. It will certainly be advantageous to the public if they should be influenced by it on a future occasion.

BY THIS DAY’S MAIL.
NEWBURYPORT, September 6.
STATE OF HEALTH,
Monday Evening, September 5, 1796.
Since our last publication of the 3d inst. three persons only have died of a malignant fever, and one child of a quincy—none have been taken sick with the above fever since last Thursday, and three only are now sick, and we have great reason to hope from the present appearances to be able to give a more favourable account of the disorder.
By the Committee of Health.
Captain Lunt, arrived yesterday in 23 days from Guadaloupe, informs, that the plague had broke out at St. Thomas’s, which carries off numbers daily.
SALEM, (Mass) September 6.
By the best accounts we can obtain respecting the fever at Newbury Port, it appears that Capt. Mulberry arrived at that port from Jamaica, the 31st of May, and lost two of his men on his homeward passage, by the fever prevalent in Jamaica. On the 1st of June he discharged his cargo, which was rum, at a wharf near to a place in which the officials of fish, in a highly putrid state, had been laid for the purpose of manure. On the 15th of June, the Health Committee begun the list of deaths from the fever, which has prevailed only upon this spot. It has continued in this place to the present time, and 26 persons have died, either upon this spot, or after having been resident upon it—13 of each sex, of the following ages, none below 12 years of age, 6 between 12 and 20 years, 6 between 20 and 30, 5 between 30 and 40, 4 between 40 and 50, 1 between 50 and 60, and 4 between 60 and 70. The physicians have not yet reported to the public the character and treatment of the fever. Doct. Swett died on the 16th of August, with the symptoms of the yellow fever after 4 days illness. He had no success while he attended the fever. By some, the fever has been called the jail, and by others the yellow fever. The patients are seized with delirium, with vomiting, and with drowsiness. The Doctor was seized with vomiting, and instantly pronounced upon his own fate. Upon inquiry from the Health Committee, and from reports of the physicians and inhabitants, it is generally attributed to the putrid fish, which has not been removed, but covered up. It is said no persons have suffered who had connections with the vessel, if they have not lived or continued near the putrid fish.
The fever has not been so highly contagious as to have been conveyed from this spot. The persons who have for various purposes attended the sick, have all escaped. Only 5 were reported on Saturday & sick by the Health Committee. Great consternation has been discovered by the inhabitants, and many have removed. Water street has been shut up, but the fever certainly haunts the spot in which the fish was laid, and is in no other part of the town. The late rains give us reason to hope, with other circumstances, that it will soon cease.—Newburyport in all other respects is very healthy.
BOSTON, September 7.
Accounts from Lisbon mention the arrival there of a Brazil fleet of 30 sail; several of whom were Indianmen.
By Capt. Plummer, from Cetté, Barcelona and Gibraltar, we have much the latest news from the south of Europe.
At Barcelona, July 5, the following was given by a gentleman as the current news of the place.
“We had an account yesterday, that an event, expected for some time past, had at length taken place, namely, the occupation of Leghorn by the French. About 700 men, chiefly cavalry, having come to Piombino, and on the road towards Sienna, struck down suddenly on the morning of the 27th of June, and took possession of Leghorn, evidently with the expectation of surprising the English, and plundering their property. As the English were, however, apprised of their visit, every thing moveable was carried off, even to the last spar or coil of rope, belonging to the Squadron, as well as the effects and furniture of individuals. Twenty-three square rigged vessels, with sixteen Tartans, laden, sailed out of the harbor the morning that the enemy entered the town. The news that we have from Genoa, in five days, confirm the defeat and slaughter of the French at Chiusa, and give reason to expect, that the Austrians may have forced them by this time to re-cross the Po.”
At Gibraltar, war with Spain was talked of. Off Cadiz passed through the English fleet cruising for Richery.
It is no ill compliment on the federalism of the western district, that among the electioneering articles, are as many as half a dozen certificates and depositions on oath, all certifying and deposing to the federalism of General Skinner; who is a candidate. His cordial acquiescence in the measures of the memorialists of this town, is considered as a powerful recommendation.
CAPT. BARNEY’S SQUADRON.
Capt. Freeman arrived on Monday, from St. Bartholomews, informs, that on 31st Aug. lat. 38, 12, long. 70, 30, he fell in with an English 54 gun ship, part of Admiral Murray’s squadron, having a French 44 gun ship in tow; who informed that the French vessel was part of Capt. Barney’s squadron, that they had captured three days before; at which time they parted from Admiral Murray, and left the rest in the forenoon, in pursuit of the remainder of Capt. Barney’s squadron; and that about 8 o’clock, P. M. they heard a heavy cannonade, from which they supposed Admiral Murray and Capt. Barney had met, and were giving battle.
Ellias Hasket Derby, Esq. of Salem, has lately made a liberal donation, to the museum of Dartmouth College. Among other valuable and rare curiosities he has presented the Zebra, an African animal, a valuable acquisition to the curious in natural history, besides many other rarities from Asia, and the N. West coast of America.—It is a happy circumstance, that commerce may become the road to philosophy as well as wealth; and that those who are increasing the respectability of their country by enlarging its commercial interests, have inclination and taste to increase the interest of science at home.

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 thor. suspension indispensable.

Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; or James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells Cooper's Ferry.
