My character as a racer is well established; I won the colt's purse at Bladensburg of twenty guineas; I won a fifty guinea purse at Baltimore, a fifty guinea purse at Annapolis and a fifty guinea purse at Hagerstown. I never lost a race but the last I ran at Alexandria, which was owing to my being badly shod, as I lost all my plates before I got in. I am in fine plight, found in every respect; my offspring are in great repute, some of which are now in training for the turf—procure me good stands and entertainment and I am able to earn one thousand dollars per annum.

KINGSTON, (Jam.) Dec. 29.
His Majesty's ship Lark in company with another man of war, ran ashore two French privateers on the coast of Cuba, the crews of which all escaped, except one Frenchman, who, when they were quitting the coast, informed them that a cask con- taining 8000 dollars had been thrown out of the vessel he had been on board of, which had been mistaken by the ships of war for an anchor; accordingly a search was made, and the cask was found.
We are informed that the Lark on her cruise fell in with an open boat having on board several French persons that had escap- ed from St. Domingo, and were going to St. Jago de Cuba; they mention, that it is impossible to live under the tyranny exercis- ed in that island.

On Tuesday last, three seamen belonging to the Hermione frigate were tried on board the Abergavenny ; when it appearing that one of them was sick in his hammock at the time the mutiny took place, he was con- sequently acquitted; the other two were found guilty, and sentenced to be hung in chains.
NASSAU, February 8.
The following prizes and detained vessels have arrived here since our last: Spanish Schooner Maria , prize to the Nan- cy privateer.
Brig Aurora , Philips, from Charleston for Havannah, and the Schooner William , Dixon , from St. Domingo for Charleston; sent in by the Pleasant and Lynx sloops of war.
Brig Diamond , Tyles, from New-York for New Orleans, sent in by the Dasher pri- vateer.
Brig Maryland , Roxburgh, from Curacoa for Baltimore; had on her outward bound voyage been taken by a French privateer, and sent into Curacoa. By the Lark priva- teer.
Schooner Betsy , Small, from North Caro- lina for Havannah with naval stores. By the George privateer.
Spanish Schooner N. S. del Golfo from La Vero Cruz for Bilboa. By the Mary- Ann privateer.
The Hero and Lark Privateers of this port, have arrived since our last, with 126 Negroes, saved from the neutral Brig Juno , Price , from St. Croix bound for Havannah, and a large quantity of dry goods, saved from the neutral ship Jupiter , Kopper bound from Hamburg for Havannah. Both of those vessels were caught in the night of the 10th inst. upon Sugar Key Reef, in the Old Straits.
The passengers and crews of both, the wrecked vessels, are brought in here.
It was reported at St. Croix, about three weeks since that a secret expedition was pre- paring at Martinique. St. Martin's and St. Eustatius were conjectured to be the objects of it.
February 15.
It is said, that the two Spanish frigates which were in the port of Matanzas on the 28th of last month, have a large quantity of treasure on board and are destined for Europe.
The Monarcha of 80 guns which got safe to Vigo, in Aug. last was chased in the Gulph by com. Loring's squadron; but got clear by superior sailing. It was said the had five millions of dollars on board; and in all probability, the cargoes of these two frigates united are not less valuable.
February 19.
The Schooner Fox , O'Brien, from New- York, for New Orleans, and the Schooner Goliath , Raymond, from New-York for Havannah, both with contraband articles de- tained by the Vigilant and Clover privateers of this port, have arrived here since our last.
Extract from the Log Book of the sloop Henry captain Cusack.
"October 21, 1798, left Giboon River on the Coast of Africa. Nothing material happened until the 28th of December, when I was chased by a French privateer in lat. 20d. N. long. 62d. 30m. W. On the 9th of January, at 4 P. M. being in lat. 22d. 10m. N. long. 71d. 40m. W. saw a vessel to the Eastward in chase of me, coming up very fast, and at 9 P. M. was within hail, firing at me. I hailed her several times, but got no answer; she being close, I opened a brisk fire upon her, which was kept up for about 40 minutes, when she dropped ahead. At 11 P. M. she returned again under my lee; after a close engagement of about three quar- ters of an hour, beat her off. Immediately made sail to the Northward, and the next morning saw nothing of her. At 10 A. M., however, I discovered her a second time in my wake, and at 1 P. M. was within gun shot. —Finding myself so near that I could not possibly escape by sailing, shortened sail; on coming up along side they gave me a broad- side which was immediately returned, after which, engaged her within half pistol shot for six glasses, and was then obliged to strike having all my standing and running rigging cut to pieces; and my vessel ungovernable. My antagonist was a Spanish packet, called the St. Rosalia , Capt. Monora, carrying ten 18 and 12 pounders with 75 men, from Teneriffe bound to Havannah. I had only six 3 pounders, and two 2 pounders, with 14 men. After taken possession of my ves- sel, they ran her on shore about seven leagues to leeward of Cape Maize, where all the crew and slaves perished, except 27 of the latter who swam ashore. Myself and crew were extremely well treated by the captain and officers of the St. Rosalia , but after ar- riving at Havannah, I was imprisoned among people of every denomination, and extreme- ly ill fed, being only allowed 3 sixteenths of a dollar per day, by the Commissioners for my subsistence."

I wish I could accompany those quotat- ions with their notes, which are very char- acteristic. The following encomium on Sir William Jones, one of the Judges in Bengal, is beautiful and just:
"He to, whom India and the Ganges mourn, The glory of their binks from His torn. In learning's strength is fled, in judgment's prime, In science temp'rate, various, and sublime: To him familiar every legal doom, The Courts of Athens, or the halls of Rome, Or Hindo. Vedas taught; for him the Mute Distill'd from every flow'r Hybla's dews; Firm when exalted, in demeanour grave, Mercy and truth were his, he lov'd to save. His mind collected; at opinion's shock Jones stood unmov'd, and from the Christian rock, Celestial brightness beaming on his brow, He saw THE STAR, and worshipp'd in the East."

When we look back to the origin, and view the progress of the opposition to the measures of our government to preserve our national independence against the attempts of the French to reduce us to the state of all the republics of Europe...
It is a fact that the FRENCH faction in Northampton have assumed, and do now wear the French cockade.
It is presumed that the patriotic members of the legislature who have gone to Northampton well know what has been the origin of the insurrection, and who are, in this business, behind the curtain.
No orders has yet been published relative to the marching a military force against the insurgents in Northampton county, in this state; but we are informed that different volunteer corps are directed to hold themselves in readiness...
COMMUNICATION.
ON INLAND NAVIGATION.
LETTER II.
March 19th, 1799.
To the CITIZENS OF PENNSYLVANIA.
MY first letter, of the 5th instant, conveyed the Petitions of the Delaware and Schuylkill Canal Company, to the honorable Senate of this Commonwealth...
In the years 1790, 1791, the Legislature of Pennsylvania (embracing the final arrangement and flourishing condition of their finances) turned their serious attention to public improvements...
could be submitted to legislative wisdom and public spirit. That the moment, then present, was particularly auspicious to the undertaking...
That when once trade has forced its way, even through a less advantageous channel, it is difficult to alter its course...
The memorial then proceeds to delineate, or describe the two great branches of our Inland Navigation, with all their ramifications...
1. The DELAWARE NAVIGATION, from the tide-water at Trenton Falls, to Lake Otsego, the north-east branch of Susquehanna.
2. The SUSQUEHANNAH NAVIGATION, as connected with the waters of Schuylkill on the east, and the Ohio and great lakes, westerly...
It was received and immediately acted upon by a Legislature animated by the warmest zeal for the improvement of their country...
The Grants from the Legislature for roads and waters from April 13th 1791, to April 10th 1792...
1793, April 10th.—The Conewago Company, for opening and improving that part of the river Susquehanna, from Wright's Ferry to the mouth of Swatara...
* Besides the 56,009 dollars granted in 1791, 1792, for the improvement of Inland Navigation, very considerable sums had been granted by the State before that period...
The present state of these three Canals, and the waters connected with them is as follows—
The Conewago Canal and its Locks are in operation, for the passage of boats with great ease and safety...
The Schuylkill and Susquehanna Canal, might soon be in operation, the main part of the locks at the summit level being long since completed...
With respect to the Delaware and Schuylkill Canal, the company have stated in their Memorial to the Legislature, that it is at least half completed in point of expence...
In short, a far less sum than has been already expended on the part of the State and the Canal Companies, would (if judiciously applied) be amply sufficient for the final accomplishment of the whole system of Inland Navigation...
I shall proceed in my next letter to state some of the difficulties and discouragements which have occurred in the prosecution of this great plan of Inland Navigation...
By two vessels arrived at New-York from New-Orleans, accounts are brought of an engagement having taken place on the 19th of Feb. between the Delaware sloop of war...
The Grants from the Legislature for roads and waters from April 13th 1791, to April 10th 1792, to April 11th 1793...
At a meeting of a large number of citizens, from every part of the state, It was unanimously agreed, That JAMES ROSS, Esq., of Pittsburgh, will, in the opinion of this meeting, be generally acceptable to the people of Pennsylvania...

Sloop Sally, Morris, run upon Block Island, cargo saved, and in hopes of getting off the vessel.
Sloop Delight, Hubbel, has arrived at the Havana.
On the 22d February, Capt. Back, of the brig Franklin, on his passage from New-Orleans, was boarded by his Majesty's ship Thunderer, Capt. Crowley, of 74 guns. The next day was boarded by the Hannibal, of 74 guns, which had in tow two Spanish prizes, captured the day before—one of them was a brig from the Mediterranean, and considered a very valuable prize—the other a Schooner.
On the 26th, was boarded by a Spanish cruising brig—while undergoing an overhaul, she spied a sail, and made off.
The sloop Harriot, capt. Sellers, from New Orleans, on the 22d ult. off the Chandeliers, fell in with an English squadron of 7 sail—one a 90 gun ship, one of 74, four frigates, and a sloop of war. Capt. Sellers was informed by the officers of one of these ships, that Capt. Decatur, of the sloop of war Delaware, on the 19th ult. in the Gulph of St. Domingo had an engagement with a French brig of 18 or 20 guns, which lasted for four hours, and that they separated, (to use the Captains phrase) "so good and so good."
An engagement between the Delaware and a French privateer of some kind is not altogether improbable, from the circumstance of capt. Decatur's being in the Gulf on the 12th of February—vide his letter of this date. Besides, it was told to captain Sellers in terms of positivity, though not particularly. We are inclined, however, from capt. Decatur's known bravery, not to believe that the engagement terminated as here stated, unless the Frenchman had the advantage in metal, men, and position.
The above squadron is that which lately blocked the Havana.
Capt. Seller suffered much on the Coast from the late severity of the weather—three of his hands were frost bitten, and unable to do duty.
The brig American Hero, capt. Brown arrived yesterday from Martinique, in 36 days. Left there the ship Diana, capt. ---, to sail in 15 days.
The brig Aurora was at Martinique, discharging. B. failed in company with a fleet of 43 sail of Americans, under convoy of the ship Merrimack. Spoke on English frigate, who informed, that commodore Barry was in chase of a French 50 gun ship. We understand capt. B has brought dispatches to Government, from Capt. Truxton.
