BOSTON, March 4.
From St. Pierre, Martinique, Feb. 1, '99. We have with us the Constitution, Capt. Nicholson. We have met three 74's, four frigates, and a 98 gun ship, belonging to the English, who treat us with every possible civility. There are eleven American vessels on the West India station. We sail this afternoon with a convoy of American vessels to clear them of the islands, and to leave them under the charge of the George Washington, captain Fletcher. The Constitution has taken a ship, which had been taken by the French from the English, but her orders would not permit to detain her; which is a great deficiency in our instructions. The Vengeance, English 74, has taken in, and condemned, an American vessel trading with Guadalupe. What rascals these are who trade with the foes of our country! Glorious news authenticated. There are in Guadalupe, three 44 gun frigates, which with several privateers, will sail in a few days for France; by reason of which the Commodore, with the Constitution and Merrimack, are going immediately off Guadalupe in quest of them.

HERE IT IS!!
Capt. Hall brings the highly-pleasing information of the capture of the Insurgent, French frigate of 44 guns, by the American frigate Constellation, capt. Truxton, of 36 guns. The action took place off St. Kitts, in view of the Inhabitants; capt. Hall was an eye witness. As the fleet came out, the Constellation and her prize were going in. The Norfolk spoke the Constellation, and received dispatches from capt. Truxton, for the Secretary of War; which we understand were put on board the Narcissus, as being one of the quickest sailing vessels in the fleet. The action continued between two and three hours, 55 minutes close engagement. The French ship had 50 men killed, and lost her mainmast. Capt. Truxton had 3 men, only, killed; the Constellation received no damage of consequence.
Yesterday was fired a true federal salute on the victory obtained by the Constellation. The true Americans assembled on the occasion, and federal toasts were drank. Amongst others.
Captain Truxton and the officers of the Constellation.
May the Constitution whenever attacked, meet the same fate of the Constellation.

DUBLIN, December 8.
Last night lord Castlereagh, and the marquis of Downshire failed for England.
Lord Castlereagh, it is expected, will make but a short stay.
The several state prisoners in the New Prison, who have signed a consent to quit this kingdom, have received notice officially to take their departure for some foreign part not at war with England, in the course of a month, with the exception of captain Ruffel, Matthew Dowling, and S. Neilson, who, it is said, will be detained here during the war.
A similar notice was served on the state prisoners in Kilmainham goal, with the exception of Arthur O'Connor, John Sweetman, Dr. McNeven, and H. Jackson, who, it is likewise asserted, will be detained till the end of the war.
If they do not comply with the above notice, they are, it is said, to support themselves at their own expence.

By a Gentleman of rank who arrived from London Tuesday evening last, we have the following interesting account:
Captain Sterling, of the Jason Frigate, reached London on Saturday; he came directly from Paris, where he was a prisoner on parole, in order to be exchanged; he reports that on the day of his leaving Paris, an account was received there that an action between the French and Austrians had taken place on the Rhine in consequence of an attempt of the latter to relieve Ehrenbreitstein, and that this action had terminated in the defeat of the French, who had lost TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND men killed, amongst whom was general Jourdan.
Captain Sterling farther saith, "that a Parisian Journalist had ventured to print this news, and so excited the displeasure of the Directory, that himself, his press and papers were not only immediately seized, but all the persons who had bought or read his papers were arrested; and even Captain Sterling, who chanced to have been an auditor, was carefully searched lest he should carry a copy of the Journal to England."
NEW-YORK, March 9.
THE NAVAL VICTORY!
Capt. Schoff, of sloop Richard, arrived yesterday in 23 days from St. Kitts, relates, that on the 10th of February he saw from the shore, by the help of his glass, an obstinate engagement between an American and French frigate, which lasted for a considerable time—that he plainly perceived before and in the heat of the latter were shot away, and the colors were also shot away twice or three times. The mizen mast of the American frigate was like to be shot away. The weather soon after proved hazy, he could not distinguish which vessel was the victor. On the following morning he saw them standing to leeward in company, but he could not bear the issue of the contest. The universal opinion however was, that the French ship struck.
The dispute between the Senate of Hamburg, and the British resident in that city is said to have been determined by the interference of the British cabinet, who have sent over instructions to their agent, not to insist on detaining Napper Tandy, Blackwell, and the other Irishmen in the military service of France, lately arrested at that place. Blackwell is said to be an officer of very high repute, and has served in several campaigns on the Rhine.—D. Ado.
A quarry of American Burr, for Mill Stones has lately been discovered near Pittsfield (Mass.) said to be equally as good as the French Burr.
A bill has been returned to the Senate from the Council of Revision without objection, for the incorporation of the Society of the Lying-In-Hospital, lately founded in this city.
NORFOLK, February 28.
To the Printers of the Norfolk Herald.
GENTLEMEN, EVER an enemy to misrepresentation, I must beg of you to correct the statement of the transaction between his Britannic Majesty's ship Surprise of 32 guns, and the United States' ship Ganges under my command.
It is true, that captain Hamilton of the above ship did send an officer on board, requesting information, whether any Englishmen were in my crew; observing that my assurance would be sufficient to prevent an officer being sent to examine their protection, I did not hesitate to say I considered all my crew Americans by birth or adoption. But I also observed to the officer, that there were no protections on board to my knowledge—the only one we carried in our public ships being our flag. This business terminated here. It is not true that the officer demanded a fight of my commission; but during his stay behaved with much politeness, and was in return, treated with all the civility I was capable of. Nor did I, as I have heard it represented, say any thing about my guns being a protection, if my flag was deemed insufficient.
As soon as the boat put off a second time to come on board the Ganges, being on the quarter deck with my officers, I declared to them my determination to fail there, sooner than suffer an investigation, or permit any man's name to be called over.
When the boat came along side again, it was with the surgeon; and with a polite message from captain Hamilton, requesting to assist him with some medicine he was in need of. But no apology was made for the message sent by the Lieutenant; nor was the subject thereof even mentioned by the doctor or myself.
Apprehensive that a similar circumstance might occur on a future day I thought it incumbent on me, to let my people know what they had to trust to. At evening, therefore, I caused all hands to be called, and when assembled, did pledge myself to them, that not a man should be taken from me, by any force whatever, while I was able to stand at my quarters—which declaration they received with three cheers, and high spirits.

Extract of a letter from Lollar Cocke, purser of the United States brig Richmond, to William Pennock, esquire, received by the brig Peggy and Betsey, arrived here from St. Kitts, dated off St. Kitts, February 11.
DEAR SIR, "I have the pleasure of informing you this day at 11 o'clock, A. M. Bellerive roads bearing N. E. distant about 4 leagues, fell in with the United States frigate Constellation, captain Truxton, having in company the Insurgent French frigate of 42 guns and 360 men, her prize, who struck after losing 50 men, and otherwise very much damaged. The Constellation lost 3 men only. Captain Truxton gave us this information himself.
"From other information, we learn, the action commenced off Nevis, and after a long running fight they came to close quarters off Sandy Point, when after a severe battle of one hour the French ship struck."
Captain Holmes, who was the bearer of the above letter, informs, that the day he
left St. Kitts, he fell in with the Constellation and her prize, which appeared to have been very roughly handled, having her main mast shot away; the rigging of the Constellation was a good deal shattered.

ANOTHER INSURRECTION.
Has broken out in the Western part of this State, which bears a more serious and formidable aspect, than that of Gallatin and the other patriots in the mountains. That active and spirited officer, Col. William Nichols, Marshal of the District of Pennsylvania, returned yesterday to the city, from a journey to Northampton county, and immediately laid before the President a detail of recent transactions there, of which the following we believe, will be found to be a correct outline:
A very serious opposition to the laws, had for some time manifested itself in the rebellious county of Northampton, and it became necessary for the Marshal to assert the authority of government. He accordingly proceeded to the scene of insurrection, and arrested twenty three persons, for sundry acts of resistance to the operation of the law imposing a tax on houses. The Marshal had taken recognizances of the prisoners, and they submitted to his authority with apparent acquiescence.
On Friday evening, the Marshal with nineteen of the arrested persons, being at the tavern of Abraham Levering, in Bethlehem, a body of horse, to the number of sixty, well armed, and part of them in uniform, beset the house, and refused the prisoners. The party was composed of militia from the counties of Bucks, Montgomery and Northampton, and were commanded by a fellow who bears a captain's commission in the militia of Montgomery county: he is a German, of the name of Fries. The Marshal narrowly escaped severe personal violence, if not assassination.
We learn, from a variety of sources on which we can rely, that a most rebellious disposition pervades the whole county of Northampton, inasmuch that no man dare avow his attachment to government; and that a sentiment of hostility to France, jeopardizes his life. A very respectable German clergyman, who had preached a sermon inculcating submission to the constituted authorities and laws of the country, was insulted by the brutal rabble at the doors of his own church, and called an Aristocratic English b——.
These disturbances all refer directly to the political posture of affairs between this country and France, and occasion has been taken from a late appointment, thus to work up the plot to its crisis. A letter of a member of Assembly from that county, on this subject, couched in the most atrocious terms of misrepresentation and falsehood, is known to have produced a very extensive effect.
One pleasant circumstance has grown out of this alarming intelligence—an immediate stir amongst the volunteers, who are, we learn, to be immediately paraded for review, in order to be perfectly prepared for the defence of their government and country at a moment's warning.
Yesterday clogged the streets of the city, sixty of the Sanfucian privateersmen from Lancaster jail. They were marched from that place under guard of a detachment of Barton's Volunteer Blues, commanded by Ensign Reickart. The martial appearance and exact regularity of this fine body of men extorted even from the pride of Philadelphia volunteers, the free acknowledgment that in personal appearance or in martial discipline they are not exceeded by any corps extant.
A more hellish group of demons, in appearance and reality, than the Republican citizens under guard, never graced a dungeon, or figured on a jibbet.
"The quality of Mercy is thrice blessed"—when judiciously applied; but when it is dispensed with a prodigal and indiscriminating hand, like the excesses of every other virtue, it becomes criminal, and in its operation, a curse to evil doers. A system of universal forgiveness, is, in other words, a system for universal crime; for mankind, when they behold no particular actions marked with odium; when they see the hand of justice slide gently over the offender; are prompted to believe that political virtue is no more than an imaginary line, like the astronomical meridian, drawn to assist the mind in performing inferior calculations; and when this idea becomes prevalent, we shall be a community of tygers.
JACOBIN PATRIOTISM.
A noted speculating Jacobin was heard at the Coffee-House loudly curling the authors of the recent rescue of the state prisoners from the custody of the Marshal; a brother democrat who was astonished at this charge of note in his comrade, called him aside, and asked for an explanation of such apparent inconsistency. Sir, said the speculator, perhaps you do not know that I have been buying 8 per cent scrip at an advance of 40 per cent on speculation; and these damn'd rascals having risen without giving me time to sell out, have of course lost all claim to my friendship and good wishes; therefore, I pray they may all be hanged.
A FRIEND requests the following may find a place in the Gazette of the United States—the author had a true knowledge of what would promote the happiness of mankind; and of his good principles, and the source from whence they were derived, no Christian can doubt.
Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans. Chap. 13. Verse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers; for there is no power but of God: the powers that be, are ordained of God. 2. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receive to themselves damnation. 3. For Rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4. For he is the Minister of God, to the for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the Minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil. 5. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but for conscience sake. 6. For this cause pay you tribute also: for they are God's Ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.
On Saturday night last, between the hours of 11 and 12, a fire broke out in a frame building in Union near Second street, which it entirely consumed, together with a nail factory and several other frame buildings adjacent.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at the Havana, to his friend in this city, dated January 31, 1799.
"There is no news here, except, that notwithstanding there is an American sloop of War (the Delaware, I believe) off our island, several American vessels have been taken by two French privateers that are cruising between this and the Matanzas. The crew of the vessels have arrived here, and the vessels are sent to Guadalupe, or are in some small ports round the island, where they sell every thing a la Francaise."
CAPTURE OF L'INSURGENTE.
(OFFICIAL.) Extract of a letter from capt. Thomas Williams commander of the United States brig Norfolk, to the Hon. Benjamin Stoddard, Esq. Secretary of the Navy, dated on board the Norfolk, off Sandy Point, St. Kitts, 11th Feb. 1799.
SIR, Captain S. Barron and myself, receiving a fleet of American vessels of 14 sail under our convoy, while we were waiting at Basse-terre Roads, St. Christopher's for the fleet to come out, saw two sail in the offing. I sent captain Barron to reconnoitre them and speak them, if friends, and join me off St. Eustatia, which he did. The two sail were commodore Truxton and his prize, the French frigate L'Insurgente of 42 guns and 350 men, which commodore Truxton captured on the 9th inst. after a close action of 55 minutes. L'Insurgente had 50 men killed; the Constellation had only three men killed. I understand that L'Insurgente made a running fight for some hours before she came to close action; but could not get away from the Constellation. No other ships were engaged but those two, nor any others in sight. L'Insurgente is the same ship that capt. Barney had with him so long in Virginia. The French ship lost her mainmast in action and some of her topmasts. The Constellation seems to have lost the head of her fore and mizen topmast, and her fore yard seems to be a jury yard, but her mainmast, topmast and topgallant mast are all well. I am now in sight of both ships, say not more than five miles distance. His flag is flying at his main top gaffant mast head, and L'Insurgente, with the American ensign over the French, under the Constellation's quarter. On capt. Barron's asking commodore Truxton if he wanted any assistance, he answered no, that his ship failed as well as before, and he had got the prize in a condition that he would soon be in the road of Basse-terre, St. Kitts, which they are now beating up for. His officers are all well and unhurt. My crew are very healthy, but Mr. McRea, who is at sick-quarters, on shore, and has been sick ever since he arrived here.
I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, THOS. WILLIAMS.

The ship and cargo were given up to me on the 16th, on a simple receipt for the papers. They refuse to pay, except for two anchors we left, and some small articles stolen from the ship."

At a meeting of the volunteer troop of cavalry under the command of capt. Robert Wharton, held at Ogden's tavern, Philadelphia March 31 1799.
The captain informed the troop that the office of Mayor of the city was und-situted by the attorney-general of the state to be incompatible with his military command; that although his personal attachment to the troop would induce him to retain the latter, at the expense of the former station, yet his friends appeared very solicitous that he should continue in the magisterial chair; and that in consequence of the above mentioned incompatibility and request, he had returned his military commission to the hands from which he received it, and would in future consider himself as a private in the ranks.
Whereupon Lieutenant Robeson took the chair.
When, on motion, it was unanimously resolved,
That, although the troop feel the deepest regret at the loss of a captain under whom they originally assembled and in whose conduct they have experienced every thing that could distinguish the friend and the gentleman; in whose character, activity, decision, and courage have often been evinced, and on whose military acquirements from the example he has already given, they had just reason to form the most flattering expectations: Yet considering how eminently useful he has already been as a Magistrate and how important it is to the welfare and honor of the city to have the Mayorality in such hands, they cannot refrain from joining with their fellow citizens; and do approve the determination; and with their unfeigned thanks for past conduct with him in every station of life enjoy the highest state of human felicity.
Resolved unanimously, That a copy of the foregoing resolution be presented to the late captain, and that the Secretary cause the same to be published.

TO THE Promoters of Literature.  THE managers of the Beula Seminary, impelled by motives of pure morality, having resolved to dispose of the following property by way of LOTTERY, in order to assist them in erecting a convenient building for the accommodation of one hundred students, and the necessary professors in the different departments of science—do offer for sale three hundred and fifty lots in BEULA, each fifty-eight feet by one hundred and twenty-five, at twenty dollars per ticket, each ticket entitled to a lot to be determined by ballot; ten dollars to be paid on receipt of the ticket, and the remaining ten on the delivery of the deed. The ballot to take place before impartial men, as soon as the whole number of tickets are sold.  The managers, anticipating the difficulty of obtaining cash for the whole, have resolved to receive an equivalent, for some of the lots, in select books; philosophical apparatus, or in produce and materials for building, delivered on the spot.  It may be observed, that the value of prizes in this lottery will be more than double the amount of all the tickets; for 350 lots, would at their average estimation, produce at least 15,750 dollars; whilst, according to the present proposals, the sum obtained for them will be only 7,000 dollars.  Tickets may be had during this winter, of Morgan J. Rees, president of the board of managers, no. 177, South Second-street, Philadelphia; who will receive proposals and plans for the erection of the building. It is intended to be of brick or stone; its situation on the summit of a gradual rising eminence, commanding an extensive prospect of the surrounding country; an observatory to be on its top.
