The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4.
DISPATCHES,
From which the following are extracts, were received yesterday at the Office of the Se- cretary of the Navy:
"On board the United States ship of war Montezuma, off Antigua, November 23d, 1798.
"As this is the first opportunity I have had of conveying to you any direct intelli- gence, since our departure from America, I am truly sorry it does not contain more pleas- ing information.
"On the 17th day, after our departure, we weathered the Virgin Islands. Off St. Thomas's, fell in with a sloop of war, of 22 guns—she not answering our private signals, we prepared for action, the Norfolk and Re- taliation being at a considerable distance. On hailing her, she proved to be the British sloop of war Scourge. Her lieutenant, who came on board, informed that these seas were much infested by privateers, and that the Scourge was then in pursuit of four, that had left St. Thomas's the evening before for Guadaloupe. Made sail with the Norfolk and Retaliation for this island; off Antigua, again fell in with the Scourge, and a king's brig of 16 guns. After cruising several days to windward of Antigua and Guadaloupe and every day meeting British frigates, we concluded no other vessels were in these seas, and we were uniformly assured that the French had nothing larger than Schooner pri- vateers, except one ship of 18 guns.
"We kept, however, constantly upon the look-out, and once ran in full view of their forts, without meeting with any vessels but British frigates, till yesterday at 10 o'clock at night, when we discovered a brig close to us, which we gave chase to, and soon came up with. She was the brig Fair American, of Philadelphia, then in possession of the enemy, taken five days previous, from Surinam. We took the prisoners out, 7 in number, and was informed by the captain and super- cargo, who were left on board her, that there were two privateers and a prize brig standing after them. We kept a sharp look-out, and at 2 P. M. by the light of the moon, saw two vessels, which we gave chase to, and left the prize brig with the Retaliation to follow us; but being too near the land, they kept to close in, and no dependence to be placed in moon- light, we were obliged to give up the chase, and stood off shore till day-light, keeping the men at their quarters the whole night; as day-light appeared, we found we were meet- ing two very large frigates and a three masted lugger; the Retaliation, and the prize, a little ahead of them, were standing for us. We bore up for the Retaliation and hailed her, and was informed by captain Bainbridge, that they were the English frigates we had seen the day before. Fortunately, we saw, at that instant, the two sail we had chased a little before, to leeward, and we put about to pursue them; the frigates standing after us, and nearly within gun-shot. We crowded a press of sail after the chase, and not knowing what to make of the frigates, we hoisted their private signals, which were not noticed; we then hoisted the American flag—still saw no colours—but crowding sail after us, and, presumed, chasing the same vessels which we were. The Retaliation then dropped, unsuf- ficient, with her prize, (or rather could not avoid them) close under their guns, when the headmost frigate fired into her, and was saw her haul down her pendant, while the prize was suffered to keep up her ensign.— This led me to suspect that the British ex- pected the compliment of lowering the pen- dant to them, as I was still persuaded they were English ships. We pursued the chase, which we at last came up to, and took the sternmost, which proved to be a captured large schooner from Kennebec, bound to Antigua, taken the day before, and had got up nearly in reach of one of her forts, at the north end of Guadaloupe. The Norfolk being rather the headmost vessel, got her boat out, after firing several shot to bring her to, and with great expedition we manned her and brought her safe off, almost from under the guns of the frigates, and made sail for this island.
"After we got off, the prisoners told us that they were two large French frigates, from Cayenne, bound then into Guadaloupe, and to cruise on that station, which at once marred our hopes of ever being joined by our consort, and much valued officer Bainbridge, who, as well as our prize brig, fell into their hands, with Mr. Griswold, one of my mid- shipmen, and three of our seamen. The schooner we have got safe in, which is loaded with lumber and fish.
"Now, Sir, you will no doubt condole with me on this unhappy catastrophe; but I flatter myself no blame can append to me; for it is next to a wonder how we saved our other vessels. Nothing but the good ap- pearance which we put upon our situation, by inducing them to think they should de- stroy us, saved us; for they were seldom out of gun-shot from the first of our falling in with them, and I believe, had we attempted to run at first, we must have all been taken, as there were, besides the ships and lugger, three Schooner privateers in sight, but they did not seem rightly to understand each other; else how they came to suffer us to take off the prize Schooner, is incompre- hensible, unless they were satisfied with their first booty.
"This moment the prize brig has come to anchor along side of us, and from our mid- shipman we learn, that the ships which took them were from Cayenne, one the Volunteer, of 50 guns and 600 men, the other the In- surgent, of 40 guns and 500 men. They only put a midshipman and five seamen on board, without taking any of our people out, who, at 7 o'clock at night losing sight of them, re-took the prize, and brought her in here. I have met with very polite civilities from all the British officers that I have met
with, particularly from captain Matson, of the above sloop (Volunteer), who, I am here; by whom I have written to admiral Harvey, whose nephew he is, requesting an exchange of signals, a copy of which I here- with enclose you, which I hope will meet your approbation."

"On board the Montezuma, St. Thomas's, Nov. 29th, 98."
"I again address you from this place, where we arrived this day.
"I convoyed eight vessels from Antigua bound to America, and shall pick up several more here to join us, so as to be off to- morrow.
"I mean to conduct these vessels clear of all cruizers about the islands, and then to run to windward, which I find is the best station for us.
"I landed 18 prisoners here, and got a receipt for them of the French consul, who treated us very politely; and by a flag of truce bound up to Guadaloupe, have made another effort in favor of our unfortunate prisoners there.
"There are, at this time, not less than 150 privateers out of Guadaloupe, mostly small Schooners and sloops, but hard to be caught, as they run in the wind's eye, in moderate weather, and sculk among rocks and shoals, where we cannot get at them;— but, keeping them in their ports is a great object, as we find they already fear to go too far off from the land."

COMMUNICATIONS.
TO A REGIMENTAL SURGEON.
Your feeble attempt at this late period to prove that our crime and soil is too poor to produce even a yellow fever, is too absurd in itself to require an answer. Has not this city produced democrats, jacobins and United Irishmen of American growth and origin? To these questions I am confident of your assent in the affirmative. I therefore proceed to enquire of you your reason, if you have any, for a supposition that a tropical or foreign disease may not be as easily generated here as an United Irishman or a French ja- cobin.
And as this is a speculative question in which no risque can be encountered except by engaging against the strongest side, let us arrange our forces and count them. On our side there are not only all the great doctors, but we have lately acquired the coun- tenance and able assistance of the far famed and never-to-be-forgotten Noah Webster, Esq. M. D. T. O. P. Z. celebrated author of the best spelling and horn books that have ever adorned the English language. This learned gentleman in his new history of pes- tilential diseases has with the most acute dis- cernment placed his life and works chemical, galenical, political, critical, orthographical, and castigated, at the head of the cata- logue of incidental pests. We have also written to Dr. Perkins P. P. of pointed celebrity with the sanguine expectation that he will throw the weight of his name and reputation into our scale. How dare you then, Sir, to enter the list against this phalanx, this mass of physical, and I may safely add metaphysical authorities? Perhaps Sir, you may by having a regiment at your command, vainly hope to defy us; but do not deceive yourself, for although you may succeed with your few friends in partially un- dermining our new school, yet, Sir, remem- ber that it cannot fall without involving in one general and indiscriminate ruin both you and us; should you shake that important belief which we are just about to establish, you will not only impoverish but perhaps an- nihilate that rich field which yet promises unparalleled fecundity. And why would you blast the hopeful harvest proceeding from our immense prospects of preventive prac- tice? Do you not know that on a belief of momentary danger and in our powers of early prevention our golden hopes and dreams do chiefly depend, and that in future the ordinary effects of indolence, of indigestion, and other slight causes of alarm in our pa- tients will not be enough to call us to cases of an inveterate and incurable malady for such they would be thought and such we may have the reputation of conquering, for which we shall be paid both by fame and by Plutus—Add to this the odium of annual or periodical pestilence, attached to the best es- tates in our first cities, will secure a chance of purchase at half price whenever the true belief may be fully established. Of all this the experiment once made by a report that our plebeians had become poisonous from feeding on laurel, is a striking proof. These birds fell to nothing in price, and of course to the exclusive use of the faculty.
Now, can't you from all this take a hint—if you cannot, tremble for the consequences. A thorough bred Doctor.
MR. FENNO.
IN Brown's paper of yesterday, was published the following article:
"The Legislature of Virginia have adopt- ed certain resolutions, censuring the conduct and measures of the government of the U- nited States, in regard to France, which were proposed by Mr. George Keith Taylor: Both houses divided upon the question on agreeing to the resolutions, and the result was as follows:
In the House of Delegates, Ayes 100—Nones 63; In the Senate, Ayes 14—Nones 3."
The resolutions which have been passed by the Virginia Assembly, relate entirely to our internal affairs; they contain an unequiv- ocal declaration of their attachment to the Constitution of the United States, and of their determination to support it, and ex- press a disapprobation of the Alien and Se- dition Bills. I believe there will not be found anything in them which respects the conduct of the government towards France, or any other foreign nation. As the article above stated contains a material misstate- ment of the fact, I presume there can be no ob- jection to inserting this in your paper.
CONGRESS, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Debate on Mr. Griswold's motion,
(CONTINUED.) THURSDAY, December 27.
Mr. Gallatin observed, that the gentle- man from South-Carolina, and the gentle- man from Connecticut, had both found fault with the manner in which he had discussed this question; that he had objected to the de- tail of the resolution, instead of attending to its principle; and that the adopting of this resolution, would be only adopting a general principle which might hereafter be modified. The gentleman from Connecticut had been pleased to say that he (Mr. G.) was old enough in legislation to know this. Mr. G. said he was old enough to know that when the prin- ciple of an original proposition was vague, the bill which was founded upon it was also vague, and nine times out of ten copied ver- batim.
As an instance of this, Mr. G. mention- ed the Sedition Bill, which was also intro- duced into the house as a measure of defence. The same complaint was then made against the original proposition, which is now made against this; and it was said then, as it is said now, that when the bill came in, the object would be more defined, yet the section of that bill which is thought to infringe the liberty of the press, is as liable to mis- construction as the present resolution. Gen- tlemen have admitted the validity of the objection which he had made to the want of pre- cision in this resolution, yet they will not make it more precise. We are told, said he, that when an individual carries on a negotia- tion with a foreign government, it is an usur- pation of the Executive power, yet the word used is correspond, and not negotiate; and when they are told that what an unauthor- ised individual does cannot bind a nation, they are silent, but still say our arguments are vague. If, said Mr. G. as gentlemen af- firmed, there is what they call a French party in this country, and it is the object of this resolution to prevent them from carrying on negotiations with the French republic for subverting the government, let them come forward openly on this ground, instead of producing a resolution perfectly vague and uncertain.
As to the arguments of both gentlemen he was at a loss how to set about answering them; for when, without paying any regard to fact, gentlemen deal boldly in assertion, it is very difficult to make them a reply. He was not surprised that the gentleman from South- Carolina took the ground he did. The mover of this resolution declared, in making it, he had no reference to a recent event;— but the gentleman from South Carolina af- firmed that he did mean to refer it; and he may certainly do so, without running the risk of being contradicted, as the house is at- present unacquainted with any facts relative to this business. So far, Mr. G. said, as he could credit the reports and letters which he had seen printed in the newspapers, it appeared that the measures which had lately been taken by the French government, and which he had heard ascribed to the agency of a certain gen- tleman lately in France, had taken place be- fore his arrival there. [Mr. Harper said, he did not speak of any effects produced by the agency to which he had referred; he did not believe any had been produced.] It was against the principle which he spoke. Mr. G. believed the gentleman was rather at a loss on this subject; for if much effect is as- cribed to the interference of this individual, gentlemen get into the difficulty in which the gentleman from South Carolina fears to be, as it would then appear that peace might have been made by our Executive; and if no ef- fect was produced, then there is no ground of complaint.
The gentleman from South Carolina says it is incredible, that an individual, un- known twenty miles from Philadelphia, could effect a change in the measures of the French Government, and that therefore he must have received credentials from other persons; that he must have been the agent of a certain faction, and he goes on to say that the French depended upon the force of that faction, which naturally led him to the conversation which he supposed this agent would use at Paris; such as "Your con- duct has been impolitic; you have alarmed the American Nation, and unless you meli- orate your measures, your cause, and our party will be involved in one common ruin."
As the gentleman from South Carolina meant these remarks to apply to him and o- thers who happen to differ with that gentle- man on certain political subjects; he hoped he should be permitted to appeal from the decision of that gentleman so far as related to the views and motives of the party to which he was supposed to belong. But he would certainly be justified in taking for granted the confession of that gentleman of the real object of his own party. It seemed then that in their own opinion, the only way by which the gentleman's party could overwhelm their opposers, was, through the medium of a war; and the object of this resolution was evidently to raise a clamour about foreign affairs, and to connect what the gentleman is pleased to call the French Party in this country with the French Gov- ernment; and the gentleman from South Carolina deserves credit for having shown, by his arguments, that this was the inten- tion of this proposition.

could hope to get such measures as the Alien and Sedition laws, approved by the people of the United States; or to believe that a standing army was necessary, not to repel an invasion, but, as is now confessed, for the crushing of a faction at home.
As to the assertion of gentlemen of the party to which he alluded, that the party in opposition to them had sent a certain gentleman to France, so long as they deal only in assertion, he supposed it unnecessary to notice it. He believed the fact not to be true. He believed the individual, said to have been sent, went of his own accord. So far as his knowledge went, he knew it to be a fact. He knew of no individual from whom he received instruction. If there are such the gentleman from South Carolina ought to bring them to view, instead of making general assertions, which can have no object except to calumniate certain individuals.
In the course of his remarks, the gentleman from South Carolina though he could not see how he connected his observation mentioned certain modern doctrines, to which he is not a convert, viz. that twenty or one hundred persons may assemble, and exercise any authority they please, &c. Mr. G. wished to know by whom, or where, and at what time, a doctrine of this kind had been supported. That persons have thought they had a right to petition, if they were only twenty in number, and to communicate with others for their co-operation, and to lay their petitions so framed before Congress they knew, but he did not consider this as a modern doctrine. There appeared to him to be two modern doctrines in the world, and to one of the two the gentleman from South Carolina appeared to be a disciple. In one country we have seen the doctrine supported of taking a part of the community for the sovereign people, who have a right to dictate and govern. How far these principles are now supported in any part of the globe, he would not say. But he would insist that it never had been either advocated or supported in this country. The other to which he supposed the gentleman a disciple, is, that because liberty has been abused, or under the name of liberty, licentiousness and injustice have been practised in a part of Europe, the old maxims of liberty and republicanism, which laid the foundation of our constitutions and Governments, are to be laid aside, at least for a while. It is the doctrine of alarm—a doctrine which has been preached up by gentlemen of great abilities in another country, and repeatedly re-echoed by the gentleman from South Carolina on this floor.
In some things, however, the gentleman from South Carolina is mistaken in fact. He says the modern system of Europe, is to transfer all power from the regular authority, to mobs and demagogues, and though he draws no conclusions as applicable to this country, they naturally are, that all those who are opposed to the extension of Executive authority, here are the mobs, the demagogues, who are to derive power from its overthrow. This is not the fact. The present system seems to be, to concentrate all power in the Executive, and support that power by a military force. This appears to be the conduct of France, to whom the gentleman meant to allude. But how it can be supposed, said Mr. G. that we, who oppose on every occasion the undue enlargement of executive power; who are not afraid that every act of an individual disagreeable to the Executive will overturn the government, should be advocates of this system, is extraordinary.
The gentleman also supposes that we ought not to hope to be more happy than Switzerland or Holland, and that therefore it is as likely that a party should exist here willing and desirous to overturn our Government, as that such a party should have existed in those countries. In order to have had his position correct, the gentleman ought to have shown the similarity betwixt the situation of those countries and this. With respect to Holland, the gentleman must know that their old government was forced upon them by the arms of Prussia, so that every allusion to that country went to prove that both parties there, the Government and the Republican parties, had called in foreign aid. Was that Government forced upon them by conquest, and which a new conquest had overturned the Government to the choice of the people. He ought also to have shown that an inconsiderable part of the inhabitants of Switzerland were exclusively possessed of hereditary power, and consequently that those who were forever excluded from holding any office of honour or trust, would not be well satisfied under the deprivation. It was not surprising, therefore, that persons thus situated, should have sought foreign aid to overturn a system by which they were oppressed. The democratic cantons however, which enjoyed equal government, opposed invasion with all their force, and were conquered only by superior force.
Mr. G. said he had followed, perhaps not very properly, the gentleman from South Carolina, through his various assertions. He should have been glad to have avoided any insinuations of party motives; but if motions are laid upon the table, to bring about again and again declarations such as have been heard, full of the grossest insinuations, all he could say was, that he would be ready to repel them. If it was the intention of gentlemen constantly to make it appear we are a divided people, he was not willing to stand mute as a mark to be shot at. He would attack them, in his turn, as to their motives and principles; he would carry war into their own territory, and oppose them on their own ground.

Late Foreign Articles
VIA NEW-YORK, By the Caledonia, 71 days from Liverpool.
ANOTHER VICTORY! We are indebted to a Gentleman who came in the Caledonia, for the following IMPORTANT CONFIRMATION.
DUBLIN CASTLE, Oct. 18. Extract of a letter received this morning from Sir J. Doyne Warren to Lord Viscount Castlereagh, dated from his Majesty's ship the Canada, in Lough Swilly, the 10th inst.
"MY LORD, I take the liberty of communicating to you, for the information of his Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant, that I fell in with the enemy's Squadron, on the 10th inst., consisting of five frigates, and after an action which continued most part of the day four of the ships struck their colors."
"I believe a brig with Napper Tandy on board was in company, as she left the French at the commencement of the business. The enemy's ships had a number of troops, arms, stores, and ammunition; and large quantities of papers were torn, and thrown overboard after they had struck."
"I am of opinion that few of the frigates which escaped will arrive in France, as they received much damage in their masts and rigging; and from the violent gales that followed the next day, they must be in a crippled state, and, in all probability, be picked up by some of the squadrons on the coast of France, or by Admiral King's cruisers. They had thrown every thing overboard, boats, spars, arm-chests, &c."
"I left the prizes with the Robust, Magnanime, Ethalion, and Amelia. The Hoche of 84 guns, was one of the ships taken. I am, &c."
It appears by a letter from major general the earl of Cavan, of a late date, that the Melampus had arrived off Lough Swilly, with another frigate in tow, which she had been sent in pursuit of; so that the number of prizes amount to five.
The Dublin paper received this morning, mention in addition to the above, three crippled frigates, brought into Sligo, by our frigates. October 25, 1798.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 10. The late Grand Vizier, Mehemet Pacha, has been banished to the Scio [the ancient Chios] in the Archipelago. He was attached to the French and by this partiality towards them gave offence to other powers. The late Caimacan, or Deputy of the Grand Vizier, has likewise been banished, and the Mufti degraded from its dignity, for having been closely connected with these two officers.
The new Grand Vizier, Jussuph Pacha, late Governor of the city of Erzerum and of the banks of the Euphrates, is no friend to the French and has long since declared against their principles. He is not expected to arrive at Constantinople in less than four or five weeks, as the place of his residence is 600 leagues distant. The Caimacan, or deputy of Jussuph Pacha, is considered as a very active discerning man, and is likewise no friend to the French. In all the interior offices changes have likewise been made conformably to the new system, and all the partizans of the late Grand Vizier have been dismissed.
The hatchesch, or cabinet letter of the Grand Vizier to the newly appointed Caimacan, Mustafa Bey, which is here considered as a declaration of war against France [the same that has already been published from the French and German papers], was formally published on the 5th inst. and sent round to all the foreign ministers, and by extraordinary couriers, to all the governors of the Provinces.
Admiral Uchakow, and all the officers of his fleet, have likewise received rich presents: the Admiral has a rich snuff box, and 2,500 ducats.
When the hotel of the French Ambassador was searched by order of our government, there were found in it 32 pieces of artillery, and a great quantity of arms and ammunition, which circumstance has tended greatly to incite the Porte against the French.
General Hotze, who commands in that part of the Tyrol which borders on the Grisons, has received orders to march into that country, as soon as the French troops shall enter it. Should this happen, war on the part of Austria will be unavoidable.
The Grand Vizier has made very considerable presents to the English Ambassador and all the persons of his legation. Every dragoman, or interpreter, has received 1000 ducats. Admiral Uchakow, and all the officers of his fleet, have likewise received presents: the Admiral has a rich snuff box and 2,500 ducats.
A French brig, carrying dispatches from Buonaparte, has been taken by a Turkish frigate. The dispatches have been brought here, and their contents communicated to the Russian and English Ministers.
LONDON, October 20. The Turkish ships take troops on board, and the belief is, that Egypt is the first object, with the view of destroying the French in that country.
Another set of dispatches from Buonaparte has been intercepted. The brig that carried them has been captured by a Turkish frigate, and their contents have been communicated to our court, and to that of Russia.
October 26. Letters from Constantinople of the 10th inst. give an account of the degradation and banishment of the late Grand Vizier. His successor is particularly hostile to the French. The Russian fleet has passed the Dardanelles. It consists of 12 sail of the line and
6 frigates, and is to be joined by the Ottoman ships.
The dispatches from the Directory to Buonaparte are captured in their passage from Toulon to Alexandria; they had been thrown into the sea, but were saved by the intrepidity and promptness of two British seamen, who leaped overboard, and seized hold of them as they were sinking. Their contents are said to be of the highest importance; but they have not reached this country.
Letters from Florence of the 21st, and from Naples of the 16th, state, that on the arrival of the news at Malta of the victory of Admiral Nelson, the inhabitants had risen on the French, and that there had been a dreadful massacre. They were said to have seized on the Bromola fort, which commands the arsenal and the right side of the fort. The French were still in possession of the city of Valetta, and of the forts of St. Elmo and St. Angelo; but their force was supposed not to amount to more than 2,000 men. The whole island was in the utmost want of provisions. The insurgents had cut off the only supply of water which the French had in their fortress, and it was supposed to be impossible for them to hold out for any length of time.
Accounts have been received at the Admiralty of the Leander having been carried into Corfu by a French line of battle ship.
Our Government set at liberty, without exchange, six French officers who saved the life of the Bishop of Killala. Citizen Nieuw wrote a letter on that subject to the Transport Board, in which he refuses to ratify this act of generosity, observing that the officers did no more than their duty; and that there was no officer in the French army who in similar circumstances would not have done the same; but he would acquaint his Government with this liberal conduct on the part of ours.
Two of the sailors who were blown up in the L'Orient are said to have been taken up unhurt by the boat of the Culloden, which was at the time of the event near two miles from where the L'Orient was situated.
PLYMOUTH, October 18. Arrived the American ship Harriott, capt. Orr, from Liverpool, laden with dry goods, bound to Baltimore. She was captured on her passage thither on the 13th inst. in lat. 45, 20, long. 20, 30, by the Courageux French frigate, and retaken on the 14th by the Cambrian frigate of 44 guns, captain Legge. The Courageux had also taken a neutral and a British ship; the latter is supposed to be the Mary, Kendal, from Liverpool.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 22. A peace has been mentioned between the German Empire and the French, excluding the Emperor; but an article from Vienna contradicts it. There has been an insurrection at Malta, in which several of the French were killed, and the Neapolitan flag hoisted. A great ferment also existed at the Hayue. The Portuguese ambassador, sent to Paris, has returned home, not having power to accede to the increasing demands of the French. It is said in a London paper of last week, that the whole force of the Directory does not now exceed 23 ships of the line; and that a majority of them are in a very unfit state of service.

The news of Buonaparte's situation had not reached England when the Caledonia failed, nor had any thing of moment transpired but what is contained in the paper from which we copy our intelligence.
To satisfy the public mind, which has lately been much agitated on the subject, we have been at considerable pains to procure direct information respecting the present state of Ireland; and we are informed, by the gentleman who favored us with the paper (who is a person of character and respectability) that the French have no troops in Ireland, and that the insurrection is entirely quelled.

The forcible detention of certain Americans by a British naval officer, whilst it has justly called forth the prompt attention of men nationally jealous of their country's honor, has also roused into action all those venemous, though some time latent propensities, which disgrace a certain class of men, who, "belonging to no party," have the assurance to style themselves "True Americans." This amphibious, this depreciable tribe are found everywhere loud and vehement in their invectives against Great Britain, and with their bitter sighs after peace, yet warm on their lips, you will hear them declaim on the importance of national honor and dignity, and the necessity of promptly repelling insult—the propriety of convincing England that we are free, and resolved to continue independent, as well of her as of France. Under these affected foils, they display their mock patriotism, and bastard independence of mind: under this timely veil they conceal a malignity of disposition, which, though stifled for a while by the pressure of circumstances, still consumes them, still burns with inveterate fury.
Turning with disgust from the idle ravings of these distempered lunatics, it may not be amiss to bestow some reflections on the transaction, and to take a view of it in its real, unexaggerated state.
It appears (from the most authentic information we have been able to obtain) that the Baltimore sloop of war being off the Havana, in company with a British squadron under the command of commodore Loring, in the Carnatic; the latter requested the assistance of some hands from the Baltimore, with which request captain Phillips complied. It is stated in a letter from the American Consul at the Havana, that the commodore returned fifty of the hands whose aid he had borrowed, for some particular purpose, retaining several on board the Carnatic; sending at the same time a message to captain Phillips, to desire him, if he had any more British seamen on board, to send them to him.
After the numerous evidences exhibited by Administration, that they are alive to every injury inflicted on the national honor or interests, their attention to every real act of oppression or insult, can be doubted only by a fool or a jacobin. It will be well, then, to leave such to prattle their idle wishes for a rupture, and to hold up their false-bottomed pretensions to the contempt of all who remember with what patience, with what forbearance they for three years bore the unprovoked outrages and murders of France.
Captain Loring is an American, and a distinguished and gallant officer. He commanded the Conflagration of 14 guns, and acted with Sir Sidney Smith in destroying the French ships at Toulon; he has long commanded in the British navy with distinguished reputation. His general character for urbanity of manners, and uniform prudence of conduct, is not to be excelled. He is a young man for one of his rank, and may have been betrayed into an unguarded or an intemperate act. I suspend my judgement for further information, under a full perusal, that exaggeration or error has discoloured the transaction.

The simplicity, durability, and compact structure of the machines, are peculiarly adapted to the purpose for which they were designed; and their constant vibration, produced by the motion of the ship alone, will keep the air in free circulation throughout the remotest part of the ship. Those who are immediately acquainted with the injurious effects of foul air on the health of the persons on board ships, and on perishable cargoes, as well as the frames of the ships, will justly appreciate their worth—it excites astonishment, that a subject of such magnitude, should be so long neglected; when we take into view, the still more important consideration of the fatal effects produced by the introduction of pestilential diseases into our ports. Those diseases in many instances are doubtless generated on board of ships, not ventilated, by the putrid exhalations from perishable materials on board, which are ultimately discharged on our shores, and, like Pandora's Box, spread disease and defecation through our flourishing cities. These remarks are the result of the beneficial effects experienced from two such ventilators, on board the brig Benjamin Franklin on her late passage from Bourdeaux. Her cargo was altogether wines, near eight hundred hogheads of which were Claret wines: it is subject to fermentation, and consequently very considerable loss. The cargo was landed in the most perfect order perhaps ever witnessed on a similar cargo;—after filling up the casks the loss did not exceed one and a half.
* Two ventilators, which are amply sufficient for any ship, will not occupy the space of four barrels of flour.
per cent. By the operation of the ventilators, the hold was kept perfectly cool, the bilge water free from smell, and the paint work not in the least discoloured. On the voyage previous to the construction of the ventilators on board, the reverse of all this was the case, and only ninety hogheads of wine on board. These observations have been prompted by a desire, to promote the public good and the interest of commerce.
LLOYD JONES, Master of the brig Benjamin Franklin. April 2, 1798.
MR. FENNO, It must be a source of mortification and regret to every American, whose bosom beats for the welfare of his country, that the fch. Retaliation, belonging to the United States, has fallen into the hands of the French; yet it is a consolation to reflect, that from the circumstances attending the capture, it was impossible to prevent it. The gentleman who commanded her, is Capt. William Bainbridge, a young man of genuine courage, and possessing very great knowledge of his profession. We hope it will not be long before he returns to his family and friends, and the United States be again in possession of one of the most valuable officers in her navy.
From a publication in Mr. Brown's paper of last evening, it appears that Mr. Joshua Hall, Secretary to the Commissioners appointed under the United States to negotiate a treaty with the nation of Cherokee Indians, was in October last, arrested by the Sheriff of Knox County, State of Tennessee, at the suit of Wm. Blount, for having slandered the said Wm. Blount, who rated the damages his reputation sustained thereby, at 10,000 dollars. Mr. Hall made a spirited representation of this transaction to the court of equity of that state, pleading also, his exemption from civil arrest while serving in a mission authorized by the United States. Upon which the court determined that the process should be quashed.
This said Wm. Blount, who is so tender of his reputation, has the honor of being under trial before the Senate of the United States for high crimes and misdemeanors.
N. B. He has lately been chosen President of the Senate of Tennessee, and it is said will be supported for Governor at the next election!
NEW INSURANCE COMPANIES.
The late glorious news from Europe, confirming the many defeats of the common enemy, has awakened once more the speculative genius of our country. Two new Insurance Companies, one on the plan of that of Pennsylvania, and another like that of North America, with an important improvement that will oblige the Directors to divide all the clear gains of the Company, by reserving only the capital stock and the premiums for outstanding or undetermined risks, to secure the public confidence. It is also contemplated to give to the state a large sum for their charter, which sum is to be laid out in the purchase of shares in the Canal for watering the city. We hear also that a new Bank is in embryo.
CONGRESS.
This morning, in the Senate, Mr. Dallas, one of the council on behalf of W. Blount, proceeded in reply to Mr. Bayard, on the competency of the Senate to try the pending impeachment.
