G. SHAW,
Respectfully informs the public, he has removed from Robert Johnston, Apothecary, No. 20, Green Street, Soho, London, a fresh and very considerable supply of his highly esteemed Medicine.
AWARE of the depredations made on every public medicine of established repute and extensive sale, R. Johnston obtained the King of England's Patent for his invention, not "to recommend" but "to distinguish," Whitehead's Essence of Muflard from
SPURIOUS IMITATIONS.
"Five years have now elapsed since Mr. Johnston first made known to the world this very extraordinary medicine; during this short period, its efficacy has been so clearly demonstrated that its sale has far exceeded any former example; comparatively there are few Families in England or the United States which have not either heard of or experienced its beneficial effects and with heartfelt satisfaction he had the happiness to declare Whitehead's Essence of Muflard has cured more persons afflicted with Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Palsy, Complaints of the Stomach and other Painful Maladies."
Than all the Medicines ever before made public, indeed, the instances, of its efficacy and letters of acknowledgment from "the most respectable characters" are so numerous that a large volume could not possibly contain them, it has also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the best families in England, Ireland and America. A COUNTERFEIT.
R. JOHNSTON has reason to believe a large quantity under the name of "Improved Essence of Muflard," as well as many others, has been shipped for America, and considers it his duty to prevent imposition and disappointment. He therefore requests the afflicted to be particular in the purchase of his bottles, boxes, labels, and bill of directions which are closely copied, and words "by royal authority," artfully substituted for the words "by the king's patent" which may elude common observation.
The Genuine is distinguished by the signature of R. Johnston, in his own hand writing on each label, and as an additional security is further signed on the outside wrapper by his only agent for the United States, G. SHAW, No. 129 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, by whom it is sold wholesale and retail, in pills and in a fluid state at one dollar each, box or bottle. FOR CHILBLAINS, SPRAINS AND BRUISES, It is a certain and effectual remedy, seldom requiring more than three or four applications. To the candid and liberal of the FACULTY, R. Johnston respectfully submits the following observations. The fluid Essence of Muflard, is an embrocation worthy their particular attention, it differs in its nature from all others, and is out of the beaten track of general practice—It is an active stimulant, easily controlled; may be either increased or diminished in its strength by the different methods of use, it is both elegant and convenient and is frequently found in the extemporaneous prescriptions of their brethren in England.
The above Genuine Medicine, as well as many others of the first celebrity may be had by appointment of G. Shaw, or Mr. G. Bailey, Wilmington, Dr. Barrill, Maiden Lane, New-York, Messrs. Bailey and Walker, Charleston, William Black, Salem, (N. J.) Charles Hutchinson, Lancaster, A. C. Jorden, Norfolk, John Roberts, do. David Keen, Sweet Springs, Virginia, R. Lee, Baltimore, I. & J. Mautz, Fredericktown, Maryland, G. W. Mancini, Albany, Dr. Vanfelingen, New-York, Messrs. Tinford & Son, do. Messrs. Rofs & Douglass, Pittsburgh, John Webster, Wilmington, James Wilson, do. Richard Winter & Co. Savannah, and in every principal town in the United States. N. B. The public are desired to enquire for Whitehead's Essence of Muflard, all others being a base and spurious imitation. GEO. SHAW. 129, Chestnut street, where Venders may be supplied.
"Caution against Counterfeits."
Agents are appointed by G. Shaw in every principal town of the United States, and there is no certainty of purchasing the Genuine Essence of Muflard in any part of America, unless it is signed on the outside wrapper by G. Shaw, No. 129, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where Shopkeepers are supplied and a liberal discount allowed them. May 13

The Gazette.  PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 23. From the Farmer's Weekly Museum.  "For the workman is worthy of his meat." IF there be such a personage as Truth, this assertion certainly belongs to her family, for what can be more just, than that a vintager should eat some at least of those grapes which he had planted and watered. But judging from the practice of the world, at the present time, one would think my text was grown obsolete. In the struggles there is always meat enough, but how little is bestowed upon workmen. Parasites, Buffoons, Fiddlers, Equestrians, French Philosophers and Speculators commandize; but the Merit, that excellent workman that needeth not to be ashamed, as weak and as lean as my old tabby cat who has had nothing to eat but church-mice for a year. Though I am not favoured a brother, by any legitimate person, and belong to no Ministerial association on earth, yet I cherish great respect, and feel a cordial regard for the established clergy. I consider them, with few exceptions, as faithful workmen; they make us moral, they instruct our youth, they lead us to a peaceful life. "Along the cool, sequestered vale of life, They keep the noiseless tenor of their way." They are wise, they are amiable men. I wish I could speak half so fervently in praise of another learned profession. But though, they are ignorant of foolish questions and "strivings about the law," they understand perfectly the great rules of life. Such men therefore are worthy of their meat, and should be liberally provided. They labor much, few men labor more; they are compelled to exercise not only the head, but the hands. The private farm as well as the gospel vineyard claims their care. When the drudgery of the year is done; when numerous sermons have been composed, and numerous sick chambers visited, when they have been in watchings and weariness often, what meat will the benevolence of a parish bestow? Verily a morsel. A beggarly pittance called a salary; and that pittance scantily and grudgingly paid. When I visit a village covered with stores and shops, and cultivated by opulent farmers, when I hear the inhabitants boast of their flourishing circumstances and recount how many bushels of wheat they threshed last year, and how well it sold, if I should be informed that their Parson's annual stipend is but sixty pounds, in despite of all their boasted riches and ostentation I should think them unworthy to enter a church. If I should repair to any place, where men congregate, and describe to them one, who, in an hour of jeopardy, had quitted his hearth, travelled many wearisome miles, been exposed to rocky air, been shot at for hours, and frequently without a crust or a draught to supply the waste of nature: If I should add that all this peril was sustained that we at home should live in security, not one of my audience, provided Speculators and Bloodsuckers were not of the number, would deny that the OLD SOLDIER was a worthy workman. But where is his meat? Oh, my good sir, do not propose that question in a Republic; you know that a Republic is never bounteous. Belfarius asks for their obols here, as well as at Rome. But here the business ends. They receive in Great Britain, and elsewhere. You might as soon expect moderation in a Frenchman, or knowledge of Belles-Lettres in a country attorney, as that a Commonweath should be grateful. THE LAY PREACHER.
A POPISH MIRACLE. IN Naples there happened in a great siege it endured, that the governor made order that every man should be put to death, being above such an age, that did not wear a sword. Not long after, as he was riding through the streets to see how well his order was put in execution, he espied a gentleman, without one, and commanded him to be brought before him: the order was read, and he condemned to die the death appointed, which was to be hung at the next high-poll. The gentleman after he had pleaded several things in his own defence, which availed him nothing, desired the favor that he might not die so ignominiously, but that the next gentleman that passed might run him through with his sword. The request being reasonable, was granted, and the execution delayed upon these terms. It happened that a young gallant was coming from a gaming house, who having lost all, even some as the blade of his sword, which was good merchandise at the time, did not dare, in regard to the severe order, to go home until a wooden-one was fitted to the handle. This gentleman was stopped and the dying man's case laid open; but this ingenious person, knowing his own insufficiency, what, says he, must I be a common executioner; must I stain my hands with blood without passion and be a reproach to all men? but this argument would not do, kill him he must; then putting off his cloak, he began a prayer to this effect: "thou who seest all our transgressions here below, judge thou I pray thee, and vindicate the cause of those who suffer wrong: in a special manner grant if this man were ought not to die, this sword may be turned into wood." Then drawing it forth, it appeared to be wood! And the dying gentleman was immediately released with abundance of joy. The wooden sword was carried with great solemnity to the Cathedral Church, as a proper link in the chain of Popish miracles.
ELEGANT EXTRACT. From Dr. Lathrop's late National Fast Sermon. THE enemies of religion, and the enemies of our Government, are uncommonly busy.—The patriot and the Christian there-
fore are called to uncommon watchfulness and exertion. All who love their country will unite in opposing such principles as appear to be subversive of all religion—all rational government and all order in society. With respect to such principles, we can have no difference of opinion. Nor can any good American question the propriety of preparing a defence against all the secret and open enemies of our rights and liberties. It is the will of the American people, to be at peace with all the world; and it is certain our Government has watched every opportunity, and through its Envoys, submitted to humiliating circumstances, to remove, if possible, all grounds of uneasiness, and establish permanent tranquility with the French nation. The late appointment, even striking evidence of a pacific disposition, even when the aggression, and continued injustice on the part of the French, leaves little or no prospect of an accommodation. It is right to shew, on our part, that we are ready to meet the first movements that may be made towards a reconciliation. At the same time it is right to guard effectually against the arts and subtlety of such as may seek an advantage over us. I have now endeavoured to deliver to you my sentiments with the freedom and independence of an American and a christian. You who were on the stage of action, when the liberties of our country were invaded by the British Government, will do me the justice to say, I was not bashful in those times. In those times I had friends—I had valuable friends, who were offended at the part I took, and the support which I endeavoured to give to the American interest; but while I loved my friends, I loved my country more. I now have friends, who are offended, because I endeavour to aid the cause of my country against the French, as I did thirty years ago against the English: I love those friends—I have been in habits of intimacy with some of them: but I love my country more. While I have breath, I will not cease to pray for the peace and prosperity of my country—May all those prosper who love thee! Nor do I think it is at all inconsistent with my character as a christian minister, to call upon my fellow citizens, to put themselves in a posture of defence; and to play the man, for their cities and their fields, for their wives and their children, for their rights and their liberties, when invaded by their enemies. While the passions of men remain as they are the nations of the earth will be subject to wars and tumult.
VERGENNES, May 9. R. G. Harper's letter contains much information on many important subjects of national concern. In it is this sentence: "The saving means, by our defensive measures, in the article of insurance alone, without calculating the diminution of captures, the benefits resulting from the increased spirit and activity of commerce, and the consequent rise in the price of produce, is sufficient, in one year, to pay for the whole naval armament, which has produced this effect, to support it for a year, to build six ships of the line, and to build and support six 18 gun sloops." He proceeds to state, that, supposing "the protection to be afforded by it, in its perfect state, be only as effectual as that now derived from the part of it, which is actually in service, this protection will pay for the expense and leave a balance of five millions annually to the nation." It were to be wished that members of Congress, in imitation of Mr. Harper, would be a little more communicative to their constituents, would develop more the motives of administration, and exhibit to the uninformed the reasons for adopting their several measures.
Mr. Lyon has written a letter to the Governor of Kentucky, informing him that he was preparing to remove into that state, and should bring with him a thousand families from Vermont. The passage of the great beaverland his wheels to that land of paddyfield would be a curious spectacle for the citizens of the northern and middle states. To draw this state of one thousand families of his followers might be a clear saving of as many halters to this commonwealth, as well as much expense to towns in providing for the poor; taking up vagrants, would save the girdling of orchards, and still leave in the state as much good order, morality and piety as though no such departure had ever happened! Such an addition to Kentucky must be very interesting, and give new support to future resolutions in their legislature. Quackery is become prevalent, among the lowest class of people in some parts of this state. Last Monday night a poor man, by the name of A. Crigger dreamed he had an excrescence growing upon his arm. A negro quack by the name of Commodore, boasting that he could effect a cure, was rationally employed by the unfortunate victim. On Saturday preceding his death, he operated; cut off 7 pounds of the flesh from his arm. A mortification, we are told, was the consequence, and in about two days, the cure was completed in the issue above described. The same negro, not long since, effected a similar cure of a woman in Fergusburg in case of a dropsy. A few such instances may serve to convince people of the necessity of employing well informed surgeons and physicians instead of ignorant pretenders. Such quacks are to the natural body what ignorant jacobins are to the body politic. "Instead of curing, kill."

By this Day's Mail.  NEW-YORK, May 22. Yesterday arrived the ship Betsey, commander Carberry, of 18 guns, and ship Factor, capt. Farrell, of 10 guns, from Liverpool, which place they failed from on the 29th March, in company with ten sail of American vessels. On Tuesday May 14, in lat. 36, 57 long. 8, 73, the Betsey and Factor fell in with the English Letter of Marque ship Arethusa captain Moffat, of London, in great distress, having lost her mainmast, and all her top masts, and scarce a bit of canvas on the ship, with both her pumps going for 35 days, and scarcely any provisions on board. Capt. Carberry hoisted out his boat, and went along the Arethusa, when her crew insisted on leaving the ship; but through the spirited conduct of captain C. he prevailed on them to stick by her, assuring them that he would send them relief—Captains Carberry and Farrell, bound themselves to stay by the ship until she arrived safe in port, and assist her in provisions; and the Betsey has had her in tow for eight days past, until she entered Sandy Hook. The Arethusa failed from Portsmouth on the 20th of November last, for Philadelphia, but meeting with bad weather, was obliged to put into Lisbon, from whence she failed on the 19th March. The Arethusa is laden with warlike stores for the use of the United States, consisting of 500 tons of cannon, 15,000 stand of arms, 300 boxes flanking copper, officers' swords, dirks, &c. and a quantity of gunpowder.—She is valued at £50,000 sterling. Captain Moffat, of the ship Arethusa, returns his most grateful acknowledgements to captains Carberry and Farrell, for their humane and generous exertions in preserving his vessel. By com. Carberry, arrived yesterday, we have received London papers to the 27th of March inclusive. An arrival at Boston has brought news as late as the following; but we have made several selections from our papers which do not appear via Boston. Further extracts to-morrow.
LATE FROM EUROPE.  RASTADT, March 11. Count Lerbach leaves this to day, and has obtained passports from the French ministers. In the event of the Congress continuing its deliberations, it is stated he will return. The family of the Elector of Bavaria has arrived at Munich—Baron Hompesch is his new prime minister. All in the Duchy of Wirtemberg tranquil.
RATISBON, March 10. The views respecting the march of the Russian troops proceed slowly, and in decided opposition to the wishes of France. The Hon. Mr. Paget, the English minister at Munich, arrived here on the 8th and returned this day. The manifesto of the Archduke Charles, has been presented to the Diet, as also the following proclamation of Gen. Massena, which was accompanied by a note, transmitted through the congress of Rastadt, from the French ministers therein in which they notify the ready and sincere wishes of the French government to make peace with the German Empire, provided the Diet at Ratisbon shall declare itself adverse to the march of the Russian troops. The following is the Proclamation: Massena, Commander in Chief of the French army in Helvetia, to the Grisons.
"PEOPLE OF THE GRISONS, The enemies of your independence have called in a foreign power to support their tyranny, the friends of your liberty claim, in their turn, the assistance of the French Republic, the army I have the honor to command is coming to second your wishes; their sole design is to restore you again to yourselves, the moment the court of Vienna shall restore you again to your independence, and declare that it will send no more troops in your country, the French army shall evacuate your territory, during their stay, individual liberty, property, political and religious opinions shall be inviolably respected. And you French soldiers, who are summoned to restore liberty to the people of the Grisons, you know the intentions of your Government and that of your general; respect a people that will be freed by you; and your conduct teach and convince them that a rigid discipline and the respect of the right and property of nations, is the peculiar characteristic of the French armies." (Signed) MASSENA.
STRASBURGH, March 11. According to the latest accounts from the army of Jourdan, its centre has reached Moeckern. The right wing has passed through Stockach, and the left had turned from Friedenstein towards Rothwell, and will not (in consequence of the occurrences in Switzerland) march through Rottenburg and Tübingen as was ordered. A considerable quantity of artillery daily passes the Kneibis.
FRANKFORT, March 12. The works of Mannheim were so incompletely blown up by the Palatines, that General Barnadotte has been enabled to restore them to nearly their former consequence, the French troops have not entered Stuttgart; but general St. Cyr, dined with the Duke there. The Commander of Phillipburg has verbally agreed with Gen. Barnadotte, that no officers shall take place one after another until orders are received from their respective Governments. Gen. New has left his head quarters at Schweitzingen.

GERMANY.
Letter from the French minister Alquier to Baron Humboldt, dated Munich, February 12, 1799.
M. BARON, I am informed, that on the 22d instant, (Feb. 10,) Mr. Paget, the King of England's Minister, said to the Comte, at the Court of his Electoral Highness, "That he had it for certain, that Citizen Trouve was employed by order of the Directory of France in revolutionizing the States of the Duke of Wurtemberg: that it corresponded upon the subject with the Minister; and that in concert with him, I was labouring to excite troubles in Bavaria." To this absurdity I oppose the dignity of the Executive Directory, and the wisdom and loyalty of their Minister at Stuttgart. With respect to what is personal to myself, I shall not descend so far as to justify myself: I appeal from this scandalous reflection upon my conduct, to the effect which his Electoral Highness and his Ministers have for me—and to the public, whose good opinion I think I have deserved. Yet as I owe to a declaration made by a Foreign Minister before the whole Court, a clear and precise reply, it is as follows—"I give the most formal contradiction to the author of this lying assertion." I entreat you, M. Baron, to accept the assurances of my high consideration. [Signed] ALQUIER.
P. S. What I have just written to you, M. Baron, I should have had the honour to say to his Electoral Highness, if circumstances had permitted me to be presented to him. I hope that you will communicate my letter to the Prince.
STRASBURG, March 5.
Jourdan's head quarters were yesterday moved from Gengenbach to Lichtenau. The left wing marched by the Kinzich into the country of Wurtemberg; the centre by the valley of Kizich, to Villingen, Rotweil, and from thence towards the Danube. The right wing by the valley of Hell and the Forest.
The French have it is said, occupied the city of Constance. The Austrians have not, as yet, made any movement to oppose the march of our troops.
PARIS, March 11.
Accounts from hence, of the 16th ult. state that M. Mocenigo, the Russian Minister at the Court of the Grand Duke, had notified to that Government that the Emperor Paul I had engaged to succour the King of Naples, and to furnish him with the means of rescinding his Throne. M. Mocenigo lost no time to signify this pleasing intelligence to his Neapolitan Majesty at Palermo. The Russian troops are to be landed at Ostrogo.
LONDON, March 26.
It is a remarkable, but a pleasant truth, that out of 1103 children last year in Christ's Hospital, only eleven died.
The Oxfordshire militia are on their route from Colchester barracks for Portsmouth, where they are to embark for Ireland. The first division halted yesterday at Romford—Colonel Gore Langton embarks with them.
The Dictator of 64 guns, and two frigates are to carry the Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire militia to the Cove of Cork; the two regiments muster 2,400 rank and file.
The Earl of Harwicke does not go with his Cambridgeshire regiment to Ireland; the command of which devolves, therefore, on the Lieutenant Colonels York and Nightingale.
Monsieur, the brother of Louis XVIII, and several French Noblemen went to the Edinburgh Theatre on Tuesday fortnight, to see Mr. John Kemble play Hamlet. A box was fitted up for their reception on the side of the stage, and they were accompanied by Lord Adam Gordon, commander in chief of the forces in Scotland.
A private letter from Dublin, of March 27, says—The business done in the House of Lords, and in the House of Commons, this evening, was merely routine, and not worth reporting. On Monday his excellency gives the royal assent to the several Bills, but whether adjournment or prorogation immediately follows, I cannot tell.
March 27. The supplies which the French have thrown into Malak, consist of 1300 quintals of corn, 1000 of hay, 1500 quintals of salt beef, 40 barrels of beef, 30 tons of red wine, 15 tons of vinegar, 29 large casks of brandy, 6 barrels of superfine oil, 1500 quintals of firewood, 2000 pair of shoes, besides Cheeses, vegetables, &c.
The flight of the King of Naples, it is now said, was in consequence, not of disloyalty or tumults in Naples, but of dissatisfaction and desertion in his army. General Mack wrote to him from Capua, that of 40,000 men with whom he entered the Roman territory, 12,000 only remained, and that they were daily crumbling away, by going over to the French. It was plain, he said, that a secret understanding existed between the enemy and his troops, for no sooner had his officers joined the French, than they were presented with commissions, and appointed to offices of trust. This example had so completely corrupted his army, that he assured the King he could place no dependence on them. Upon receiving this melancholy advice, the King of Naples held a Council to determine on the course to be pursued. The Lazzaroni had shown a firm attachment to the Royal Family, and their loyalty remained unshaken; upon the first accounts of the reverse the Neapolitan army had experienced, they offered to march for the defence of the kingdom; but it was thought more politic to keep them as a protection to the capital. In this dilemma to which the King was now reduced, it was deemed imprudent to trust to the defence they could make against the French army, and it was decided that the Royal Family should embark for Palermo.
It was not till this determination was known the spirit of the loyal rank, and the French purportingly triumphed. Every man
now considered of accommodating himself to the approaching change, of making his peace with the advocates of Republicanism, and providing for his own safety. And such is the appearance which the governing and active party can give to the public opinion, that a few hours seemed to have changed the people of Naples from devoted Royalists, to furious Republicans. The former shrunk from view, and the latter ruled in every quarter with an imperious and insulting tone, gathering strength, and committing the excesses (of which we have already heard) at the time the Royal Family embarked.
From papers brought by the Venus, arrived at Boston from Liverpool.
STRASBURG, March 9.
The Austrian army, under Prince Charles, is in inactive movement. Nine battalions have already passed the Lech. The 6th, his headquarters was at Augsburg; [in Suabia.]
The head-quarters of Gen. Jourdan, were the 8th, at Bidigen, on the Danube, about 20 leagues from Prince Charles' head quarters.
Gen. St. Cyr, who commands the left of Jourdan's army, has advanced a column to Tubingen, [in the Duchy of Wirtemberg,] about 25 leagues from Augsburg. Jourdan has between 40 and 50,000 men; one third levies. Bernadotte has 20,000.
March 10.
The Austrian army continues to cross the Rhine, advancing towards Ulm. The front of the Austrian line may be known by drawing a line from Wurzburg, in Franconia, to the Lake Constance, through Ulm, Mindelheim, and Kempten. The advance of the French, at this time, may be seen, by a line from Schaffhausen, in Switzerland, to Mannheim on the Rhine. [The distance, generally, from 20 to 30 leagues.]
The French army at Mannheim, is an army of observation; to take advantages of circumstances.
March 12.
Jourdan's centre is at Mosekirch. The left wing will not (in consequence of the occurrences in Switzerland) march through Tubingen, as was first ordered. It will march towards Switzerland.
The Helvetic troops are advancing towards the Empire. Massena's head-quarters are between Zurich and St. Gall, [in Switzerland]; the left of his army is at Lake Constance; the right in the Grison country, extending near ten leagues.
THE AUSTRIAN ARMY
In Batavia numbers 115,000 men, independent of the Russian columns which are advancing; 80,000 are in advance of the Lech. They are represented in fine order, and are animated with the best dispositions. The light-infantry are very complete; and are swelled with volunteers. At Ulm, on the 6th, 120 pieces of artillery were collected. The Russians are directed to take forced marches;—and waggons and horses are everywhere impressed, to forward the troops, &c. to the scene of action; which in all probability will be between the Danube and the Lech.
The Arch-Duke has addressed his army in General Orders, in the most animating manner—charges the French with numberless aggressions; and expects his troops to vindicate the honor, and save the Empire from slavery.
If Gen. Hotze had not engaged Massena, the advanced corps of Jourdan's and Prince Charles' army, would have met at Memmingen yesterday, and decided the fate of Ulm.
LONDON, March 23.
On the 21st a squadron of six sail of the line, left Yarmouth, for the coast of Holland.
RATISBON, March 10.
The votes of the Diet of the Empire, on the subject of the march of the Russian troops, are in decided opposition to the wishes of the French.
The garrison of Ulm, is commanded by Field-Marshal Kerpner, and is composed of 10,000 picked troops.
The Emperor, as well as the King of Great-Britain, has sent a special Ambassador to the Prussian Court.
The King of Prussia appears obstinately bent on preserving his neutrality. He will not be swayed, connect himself with Austria.
Gen. Suwarrows, who is upwards of 60 years of age, is to command the united Imperial forces, which are to act in Italy.
The Spanish squadron which some time since slipped out of Cadiz, hath returned, after landing 3000 troops at the Canaries.
A Russian squadron of seven sail of the line has arrived at Palermo, in Sicily with troops.
Naples is blockaded by a squadron of Lord Nelson's fleet.
The French who have passed the Rhine, have imposed the most heavy contributions. Heidelberg had to pay 100,000 livres in 12 hours.
The late King of Sardinia, and family have sailed from Leghorn for Ragusa, conveyed by the English frigate Terpsichore, Capt. Gore.
Two Embassadors have been sent from the Neapolitan Republic to Paris.—Prince Molterni is one.
The French Legislature has abolished privateering; and ordered all their privateersmen on board the Bresl fleet.
Enormous quantities of specie are continually sent out of Holland to Hamburg, from whence it finds way to England.
Six hundred of the Irish rebels have been transported—400 to the West Indies; 200 for Minorca.
The O'Connors, Emmet, Nelson, and twelve other state prisoners, on the 9th inst. failed for Fort George, in Invernesshire; to be confined there.
The United Anglo-Irishmen, who have been detected, and frequently examined before the Privy Council, had ripened their
plot almost to explosion. The papers found on them, and which Parliament have published, demonstrate the extent and turpitude of the conspiracy.
Phillip Burr holds out. It is garrisoned with 2000 choice troops of the Empire. It will if attacked be defended vigorously.
The Commandant and gen. Bernadotte, verbally agreed not to commence hostilities until further orders.
BOSTON, May 18.
Ireland will again become an object of attention. All the energies of the British and Irish Governments were in operation to defend it against external invasion; and to eradicate every fibre of internal rebellion.
From Havana.
The British fleet has left the blockade of this port; and the galleons arrived a few days after from Vera Cruz, with an immense quantity of dollars. A money fleet has failed from Spain.
A bill passed the British Parliament for preventing the exportation of copper; as the Admiralty found it difficult to procure that article for the ship yards.—In the last six months it rose 20 per cent. in price.
Samuel Snow, Esq. Consul of the United States, at Canton, has arrived there.
We learn that the Boston frigate will be launched on Monday next, if foul weather should not intervene.
The intelligence of the capture of the Insurgente, was received with the greatest pleasure in England.

BALTIMORE, May 21.
A letter from a gentleman in Norfolk, dated May 17, to his friend in this city, received yesterday, contains the following
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
"The ship Mary-Ann, mounting 16 guns, and manned with 51 hands, arrived here yesterday from the river La Plata; she was furnished with a letter of marque, and 7 days since in the Gulph Stream, was engaged by a French brig of 10 guns and 117 men all mulattoes and negroes, except the first lieutenant, who is an American, a native of Barnstable in Massachusetts. The engagement lasted two hours, during which nine Americans were killed and wounded, and 17 of the negroes. At length the Mary-Ann got so completely athwart her bows, that every shot raked her fore and aft, when the tri-colored flag was hoisted down and she yielded to the superior bravery of American seamen.
"After taking possession of her, she proved to be Le Generoux, of Guadalupe; but contrary to all other privateers, was deeply loaded with guns, pistols, daggers, flints, cutlasses, and all other military stores and implements. The captain of the Mary-Ann took out what men he could stow, and put the rest in irons, of which he found plenty in the prize; he also put 21 men on board her, and ordered her for the first port in the United States which she could make. What renders the situation of this prize the more particular, is that she had no commission, or any papers, nor could the Americans learn, even from their prisoners, where she was bound, or to what purpose her cargo was to be appropriated. Her letters were all thrown overboard, except one, which, through hurry was left in the chest of a passenger; this letter is addressed to an eminent personage in Georgia, and on account of its important contents, was sent on, as soon as the Mary-Ann arrived, by express to the Secretary of state."

THE underigned Secretary of State of his Britannic Majesty has received his Majesty's commands to acquaint Mr. King, Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, that the King, judging it expedient to avail himself of the superiority of his Naval Forces for the defence of his dominions, has signified his commands to the Lord's Commissioners of the Admiralty, to cause the most rigorous blockade to be established at the entrance of all the ports of Holland, which will be maintained and enforced in the strictest manner, according to the usages of war, acknowledged and observed in similar cases.
Mr. King is therefore requested to apprise the American Consuls and Merchants residing in England, that the above mentioned ports of the United Provinces are, and must be considered as being in a state of blockade, and that from this time no neutral vessel can be suffered to enter them upon any consideration, or under any pretence whatsoever; and that all the measures authorized by the law of nations, and the respective treaties between his Majesty, and the different neutral powers, will henceforth be adopted and executed, with respect to vessels destined for the said ports, or such as shall attempt to enter them after this notice.

A true copy from the files of the Department of State of the United States.
JACOB WAGNER, Ch. Clk.
By a letter from Havannah, dated the 10th of May, advice is received of a new Governor having arrived at the other side of the island, from Spain, and that he was expected there on the 12th—that the change was quite unexpected, and had very much surprised the inhabitants, as the old Governor's time was not expired.
The same letter advises, the actual prices of sugars to be 9 dollars for brown and 11 for white—and that flour was down to 10 dollars per barrel; beef and pork 5 and 10 per barrel, and parcels shipped back to America. No kind of goods in demand, and money not to be got for any thing.
COMMUNICATION.
IN the Aurora of yesterday the faction, of which that paper is the organ, are expressly called upon to associate themselves in the military corps, not for the purpose of defending their country from foreign invasion; not with a view to support their government against the machinations of domestic traitors, but avowedly in order to act against the Friends of Government. Under the authority of Duane himself, it is stated that to accomplish this object, considerable accessions of strength have already been made to the Militia Companies; and that a band of Jacobins mount guard every evening at his office. By the same paper it appears that "Committees of Arraignment, as they are called, for the City, Northern Liberties, and Southwark" meet at the same place. Thus it appears that all their desperate plans are formed, their means collecting; and their forces nearly organized. That their confidence in their own power has greatly increased is made evident by this desperate avowal of their bloody intentions. Heretofore indeed these men have existed, though their real views have been concealed under the cloak of a desire to operate against the common enemy; but now in the fulness of their audacity, they boldly proclaim the end they have always really aimed at. To oppose so formidable a phalanx of perfidy and iniquity, what are our means, our preparations or resources. Are we tamely to submit to the dagger and the bayonet, without even an attempt at resistance? Are we to wait until bound hand and foot, before we even endeavour to exert ourselves? Are we individually content to be marked out for future revenge and slaughtered without even wishing to pare the nails or to cut off the claws of this daring Banditti.
The Irish Rebellion has been nearly quelled. How? Not by suffering the rebels to mature their schemes in safety; but by hunting them from their kennels and forcing them to resistance, before the moment of their readiness. The allusion is obvious and the example ought to be profitable.
Duane says that during the horse-whipping he received yesterday the "people who stood looking with dumb astonishment were heard to murmur aloud! Will this blundering bull maker again tell us he is an American?"
The same paddy whack says that as he was "lying senseless" he received a kick.—It senseless lying is to be his security he has an infallible rampart to defend him.
The Merchants and Underwriters of Lloyd's Coffee House, London, have agreed to present a superb piece of Plate to Capt. TRUXTON, for his gallant conduct in the capture of the French frigate, Insurgente.

I observed she had decreased much since I saw her in the Delaware. However, a Schooner coming up, they fired a gun, hoisted English colors and boarded her—after examining my papers and pressing me to receive some Spanish prisoners, which I refused, they wished me a good passage, and dismissed me.
