BOSTON, July 4.
The Students of Phillips's Exeter Academy have equipped themselves as Soldiers, as well as Scholars. On the 15th ult. they paraded, in complete and handsome uniform, and were presented by the young Ladies of Exeter with an elegant Standard. On this occasion, the ingenious and classic Editor of the Portsmouth Oracle, pays the following compliment—
Hail gallant youth in arts in arms renown'd! Columbia bids her young defenders hail; And wills, that virtue, glory crown'd Adown the stream of time shall deathless gail. The red'ral banner which your brave displays, Was wrough't by female worth, in beauty's bloom; And mid the battle's thunder, lightning's blaze, Beneath that Standard wait the hero's doom. What tho' he fall? yet women's tears shall lave, Her youthful heroes' consecrated form; The pearl that beauty drops on glory's grave, The patriot dead to new-born life shall warm.
SALEM, July 2.
Communicated by Capt. James Cope. Capt.

Ship Adrastos, Gallagher of Philadelphia, chased in by a privateer.
Brig Peggy, Maxwell, ditto, chased in by a French privateer of 18 guns. Brig Delaware, Dumphy, do. condemned and purchased in.
NEW-YORK, July 8.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Herkimer, to the Editor of this paper, dated June 26th, 1799.
On Tuesday the 18th inst. the Circuit Court, and Court of Oyer and Terminer and general goal delivery, was held at the Court-House in the county of Herkimer, where his honor Judge Lewis presided. After the grand jury were sworn, the Judge rose, and addressed them in a most masterly style—he, in a few words, pointed out the origin and object of all governments, and explained their difference—showed the nature of the social compact and how necessary it is for the happiness of man—commented upon the government and laws of the United States, and of the state of New-York in a particular manner, and pointed out the melancholy consequences that must attend violent measures against either. So plain, neat, and forcible was his language, and his ideas so just, and so clearly expressed, that conviction was manifest on the countenances of all who heard—several civil and military spirits were tried, in all of which the greatest firmness and impartiality, was shewn by the Judge.
Jacob Bell, plead guilty to an indictment of bignamy, and was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment in the state prison, to hard labor.
Andrew Clapsaddle and Richard Steel, were indicted, for attacking, with others, the house of Michael Myers, Esq. collector of the revenue, with a design to pull down the sign on which was written "Office of Inspection" and to destroy the stamped paper then in the possession of Mr. Myers—they were found guilty of a riot—Andrew Clapsaddle was fined one hundred dollars, Richard Steel, who appeared to have been accidentally drawn in, was fined ten dollars. Col. Richard Petty, the bell-weather in the scrape was indicted, the last Circuit, and admitted to bail, himself in 300, and his bail in 150 dollars; he thought prudent not to appear. These were some of the liberty-pole lads. The charge given by the Judge to the jury on this trial, and his admonition to the persons fined was highly satisfactory, and I believe will have a great tendency to check such outrages, and to reconcile the minds of the people to the laws, than any one event which could probably have taken place. Great order and decorum were observed by all who attended the court.
The liberty-pole lads never received such a trouncing as Judge Lewis gave them—he really labored to convince them of their error, and at the same time held out the rod of terror, as the only means to check such outrages. Whilst he was painting the melancholy consequences of opposition to the laws, the whole audience were in tears. The liberty-pole lads and the stamp act men, began to think that their property, liberty and lives were all slipping from under them, and their countenances seemed to damn their own conduct. Such lessons from a judge are all important to the community, and in a particular manner to this country.

Hamburg was not blockaded by the British fleet when the Dispatch failed. A British fleet was cruising off the Texel.
BALTIMORE, July 6.
NEWS.
Yesterday the Schooner America arrived at the fort, in 7 days from St. Thomas. In the America came passengers, captain Watts of this port, who gives us the following Important Intelligence!
That a cutter had arrived at Guadalupe in 25 days passage from Cadiz, with dispatches to the administration, containing intelligence that the French fleet from Brest had arrived off Cadiz, where they fell in with admiral
Jervis; that an engagement took place, in which the English were heavily beaten; that they left SEVEN SAIL OF THE LINE, besides frigates. Capt. Watts could not obtain particulars—he communicates to us the information just as he received it, from a supercargo of Mr. Jacob Myers, of Norfolk, who was at Guadalupe when the express arrived, and brought the news to St. Thomas's.
[American.] [There appears to be nothing to invalidate the above news, so much as its coming through the channel of Guadalupe. Our intelligence before from Cadiz, was to about the 25th of May, when the French and British fleets were said to be off that port.]

Yesterday morning, arrived in town Commodore Truxton.
The presence of this brave and fortunate officer, must excite the most grateful emotions in the breast of every patriotic American. Long may he continue the terror of Insurgents, and the successful defender of his country's honor!
The frigate United States, Commodore BARRY, captain Barron, weighed anchor from New Castle and dropped down to Port Penn, on Saturday evening.
On Sunday, at 2 P. M. she was seen standing down the river with a leading wind, and it is supposed she got out of the Capes in the course of that night.
Off New Castle, she had parted a cable, and lost one of her anchors, in a gale.
A ship and two brigs outward bound, lay at New Castle on Sunday evening. No inward bound vessels in sight.
The Delaware, sloop of war, and Seamen's brig, are nearly ready for sea, and expected to sail in the course of the present week, with a convoy for the West Indies.
From Mr. Claypoole's paper.
Present appearances forebode another Indian war. The reduced and scattering tribes of the wilderness, cannot, of themselves, be formidable enemies; but they may be made tomahawks and scalping knives, in the hands of a foe, more savage in their warfare, more abundant in their resources, more concerted in their measures and more diabolical in their views. The great nation have long had an eye on the Spanish settlements in America, and the territory of the Mississippi. How far the minor nations of the forest are to become auxiliaries to French aggrandizement, we cannot determine; but must consider Gallic intrigue as the main spring of their hostile movements.
MAYOR'S COURT. Joseph Webb, ma-
July Sessions 1799. J. Inner, and Edward W. Earle, were indicted for a conspiracy, with others unknown, to deceive and defraud divers citizens of this commonwealth of divers sums of money, by entering into contracts with the said citizens to perform certain voyages as seamen, in certain vessels, and by receiving sums of money in advance for their wages, and by deserting and absconding from the said vessels after receiving the money, which should be paid in advance for their wages, and by assuming fictitious names for the purpose of cheating; and that in pursuance of the conspiracy, Joseph Webb, by the name of William Smith, received on the 7th of March last, of Mr. John Claxton, 32 dollars in advance, for a month's pay, to perform a voyage in a Schooner, the property of Mr. Claxton. Joseph Webb and Edward W. Earle, on the 8th of the same month, received of Mr. John Skyrin, 50 dollars in advance for a month's pay, to perform a voyage in a brig the property of Mr. Skyrin. The prisoners on the 11th of the same month by the names of Joseph Hallcombe and Edward Earle, received of Mr. John Savage 66 dollars in advance for a month's pay, to perform a voyage in a brig the property of Mr. Savage.
Verdict—Guilty.
After the verdict, Earle made a communication that there was a combination of a great many persons in this city, to cheat the merchants in the manner that he and Webb had done.
The court in pronouncing judgment made a number of judicious observations.
Sentence—Two years imprisonment at hard labor, and to pay a fine of 100 dollars each, and the costs of prosecution.
May this punishment reform the guilty, and prevent others from committing the like offence.

REGIMENT DISBANDED.
The following orders were yesterday issued on the parade at St. James's Park:
Monday April 15. In consequence of communications from the adjutant general field marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester orders the following letter to be inserted in the Brigade Orders:
Horse Guards April 8, 1799.
SIR, I have received the commander in chief's directions to transmit to you the king's pleasure in regard to the 5th, or Royal Irish regiment of dragoons, which it is his royal highness the commander in chief's desire that you shall, without delay, carry into execution.
His Majesty has taken into his most serious consideration the representation which has been made by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland of the conduct of this regiment, and is of opinion that the insubordination and departure from the discipline and principles which have ever distinguished the British army, therein exhibited, required especially in these times of warfare and exertion, that they should be marked by a punishment which may be severely felt and long remembered by those misguided persons who have been guilty of the atrocious acts of disobedience, which have brought this indelible stigma on the corps, and may serve as an example to all others, as well as the consequences of such seditious and outrageous proceedings, and of his Majesty's firm determination to maintain subordination and discipline in his army, and to support the authority of his officers in the execution of his duty.
It is on these grounds his majesty's royal determination, that the 5th, or royal Irish regiment of dragoons, shall be forthwith disbanded; which you will please to communicate to the corps, and carry it into immediate effect. At the same time that the king judges it requisite for the good of the service to make those severe examples, his Majesty has graciously condescended to direct that General Lord Rollo more shall be assured, that his majesty is persuaded of the concern which, as a soldier, his lordship would feel at such a circumstance occurring in any part of the army; and is sensible of the particular mortification he must experience in the present instance, from the event of which, however, his lordship cannot in the smallest degree suffer in his majesty's estimation. His majesty has been pleased further to direct that you do express this persuasion, that there are many valuable officers in his regiment who have used their best endeavors to restore the order and preserve the credit of the corps, and though in this measure of indispensable severity it was impossible to make any exceptions the majority being clearly implicated in the misconduct in which the whole are suffering yet his majesty will hereafter make the most pointed discrimination, and those of any rank which are deserving to the royal favor may rely on his majesty's disposition to reward their merit, and to avail himself of their future services.
In consideration of the expense to which the officers of the 5th, or royal Irish regiment, have been unavoidably exposed, his majesty has been graciously pleased to direct that their full pay shall be continued to them to the 24th of December next, at which period they will be placed on half pay.
I have the honor to be, (Signed) HENRY CALVERT, Adjutant General, &c.
