A very valuable MERCHANT MILL, A DISTILLERY and BREWERY, and FUNDY-STONE QUARRIES to be let I will rent my Merchant Mill at the little Falls of Potomac, for any term not less than seven, nor more than eleven years, from the first day of September next. The mill-house is 42 by 40 feet, three stories high, built with stone, and has in it three pairs of French Burr Stones, two overthrust 18 feet water-wheels, and Evans's machinery complete, with every other thing proper and necessary for carrying on the business with dispatch, and at as little expence as possible, all in good order—From the mill to my landing on the Potomac river, (where craft, or any burthen may deliver grain and take in flour) it is about 40 yards, and from thence by water to George-Town and the City of Washington, about 3 miles, and to Alexandria about 11 miles. This situation, aided by a sufficient capital, will command the produce of a very extensive back country, where large quantities of wheat and other grain is annually made, the distance to it being from 8 to 20 miles less than to any market town upon the navigation of the Potomac. There are on the premises a large stone Coopers' Shop, a stone granary, and a commodious miller's house. At the landing aforesaid a bridge is now building over the Potomac, which is in great forwardness and probably will be finished the ensuing fall. There are also on the premises, a Brewery and Distillery, built with stone, in them are three stills, two coppers or boilers, with every necessary article, all new, and in good order, and sufficiently large to carry on the Brewery and Distillery upon a very extensive plan. This property I will rent for the same term of years. Upon my lands adjoining the premises, and along the banks of the river, where craft may lead with ease and dispatch, is an immense quantity of building and foundation-stone. Four quarries are now open, and as many more may be opened with ease: the stone taken from these quarries is better, and has the preference at this market, to any other stone brought to it. I will rent these quarries separately or together as may best suit. On the top of the hill, and about 200 yards from the mill, is a stone Dwelling-house, large enough for the accommodation of a family: also, a kitchen, dairy, smoke-house, &c. and a garden, enclosed and in cultivation, the soil of which is equal in goodness to any in this state. I will also rent this property. Adjoining to the Brewery and Distillery is a Smith's Shop, in which is a complete set of Blacksmith's tools, which I will also rent, and if agreeable I will hire to the tenant two negro blacksmiths, one of them is a complete workman. If I rent out the stone quarries, I will sell three crafts, which were built for the purpose of carrying stone: they will altogether bring upwards of 90 per cent. Immediate possession will be given. For terms apply to the subscriber in this town. The Mill, Brewery and Distillery, with their appurtenances, will be delivered to the tenant or tenants in good repair, and must be so returned, at the expiration of the lease or leases.

THE publisher thinks it a mark of respect, due to a liberal and enlightened public, to inform them that this is the Poem for the publishing of which he has been twice dragged from his house, and is now laboring under a vexatious prosecution. He is conscious that the piece contains nothing either criminal or offensive, unless ori- ginal wit, decorated in elegant language, be criminal or disgusting to the prevalent taste; and, as he trusts that neither of these is the case, he submits the work to the public with a full assurance of its meeting with a favora- ble reception.
He would beg his prosecutors to call to mind (if they
have ever read it) the following apology to a well-known romance—"A young painter, indulging a vein of plea- santry, sketched a kind of Conversazione Piece , respecting a bear, an owl, a monkey, and an ass; and to render it more striking, humorous, and moral, distinguished every figure by some emblem of human life. Bruin was represented in the garb and attitude of an old, toothless, dunce-pot; the owl perched upon the handle of a candle-pot, with its spectacles on its nose, seemed to contem- plate a new paper; and the ass, ornamented with a huge sycamore-leaf, however, could not conceal his long ears. In his picture to the monkey, who appeared with the implements of painting. This subliminal group afforded some mirth, and met with general approbation, until some mischievous wag hinted the whole was a lamp- oon upon an old officer, a physician, and a member of Parliament—an insinuation which was no sooner circula- ted, than these people began to be alarmed, and even to accuse themselves, signified by the several figures in the group. The junior group fell upon the painter, who de- fended that he had no design to give offence, or to cha- racterise particular persons. They affirmed, the resemblance to be overlooked,—and their clamours being heard by the public, the Captain was a bear, the officer, and the Senator an owl, to their dying day. If a similar fate should attend the persons who upon being the members of this group, the to the publisher the justice to remember that it is his.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
Some observations in your paper shew an extreme reticence under certain paragraphs of letters from England respecting the conduct of the House of Representatives as to the British treaty. It is a surprising thing no doubt that we do not find in the English prints any threats of war such as were held up as scare-crows to the multitude—but on the contrary, applause of the firmness with which the opponents of the treaty insisted that our wrongs should be redressed before we entered into compact with so faithless a government.
That the opponents of the treaty in Congress did not mean to let it slide is evident to all who are im- partial—from Mr. Maclay's proposition—which was not to reject but to suspend the execution of the treaty until we had assurances that our ships and seamen should be safe in future, and surely the events of the day fully prove the necessity of this, for the treaty has made no change whatever in the state of the commerce of the United States—our seamen are still beat and insulted—our ships are still taken and condemned, the accumulated losses of which threaten our insurance companies, our banks and all our trading people.
But if there be any crime in opposing treaties when discussed in the legislative body, what shall we say to Peter Porcupine the champion of a certain party, who declares his firm opposition to another treaty made a number of years ago, of which speak- ing he has this sagacious remark. "By the treaty made between this country and the King of France, the French nation is in my opinion no more the ally of the United States than the Chi- nese are." Is there not an effort here to set a- side the French treaty in defiance of the govern- ment of the Union, how can this be reconciled by the so much famed friends of order, except that a treaty is one thing when made with one nation—but quite a different thing when concluded with ano- ther? There is however one discovery made by your correspondent the merit of which is all his own—he says our fears were not of Britain decla- ring war against us—but unless she would con- sent to do us justice we must have declared war a- gainst her. I believe even the Sergeant-Major will smile at this—she do us justice! Is it justice to take out ships with coffee going to Amsterdam as soon as soon as they are out of our ports and carry them into Halifax—is it justice to tie up capt. Jessup and miserably lacerate and mangle the body of our citizen—is it justice to take our vessels from the West Indies and query whether we have a right to carry sugar at all by treaty. Is it justice to change the Governor in Bermuda and retain the in- famous judge. In a word what is the justice Bri- tain has been accustomed to administer to us du- ring the last twenty years, and yet where are the thunder bolts or where the danger they are in of war from us?

CONTINUATION OF
Foreign Intelligence.
Received by the Hamburg Packet, Capt. Clay, from Liverpool.
EDINBURGH, June 30.
This day a party of upwards of forty stout fel- lows, lately belonging to the Dutch frigate, bro't into Greenock, marched through this city in their way to Chatham barracks, to join Colonel French's new regiment of Caledonian Rangers. They are remarkable well looking young men, and are said to have been most of them soldiers under the old government.
They were enlisted by Capt. Collins, of the a- bove corps, who provided them with a pair of beau- tiful colours.
ISLAND OF CEYLON.
The fertility and beauty of this land is never spoken of by the Indians, but in terms of rapture —they call it the Paradise of the World—and the ancients called it "Tamarasin," that is, the gar- den of pleasure. Its air, pure and salubrious, causes a perpetual cheerfulness in the minds of the people, who are called Cingalies, a sprightly, ac- tive and ingenious race of men; their persons are well shaped, and of regular engaging features, with complexions inclining to the olive and copper colours. The gracefulness and urbanity of their manners, like all other Indians, is proverbial; and if they are not so enlightened as the Europeans, it is from the oppression they suffered under the Dutch, and not from any natural defect of intel- lect. The women are extremely clean, and tho' they cannot boast a fair complexion, like the beau- ties of our own island, yet, the deficiency is well supplied by such elegance of person, and insinua- ting address, that it is impossible not to love them.
LECHORN, June 3.
Intelligence has been received from Toulon, that 10 sail of French men of war are stationed in a line at the mouth of that harbor, to watch the English squadron till cruising off that port.
ELSINEUR, June 21.
Extract of a letter.
His Majesty's ship Leander , which with ano- ther vessel had got on shore for want of a pilot, ar- rived here in safety on the 18th in the evening. The Leander got off, by first shifting her guns aft, and afterwards removing them on board the Zephyr , Anderson . The Swan sloop of war arrived the same evening.
There is a fleet of 60 sail of merchantmen now collected, and they will sail as soon as the wind serves, which there is every probability will be soon. There are many of the enemy's cruisers in the North Seas; but I hope his Majesty's ships will keep a good look out, and that the convoy will arrive in safety.
"P. S. The wind is now fair, and the convoy is this moment getting under weigh."
BREST, Prairal 28. Extract of an official letter to the Minister of Ma- rine.
"The division, commanded by citizen Mou- ilon, has taken the English ship the Royal Oak , whose cargo consists of articles much wanted in this part."
DINAN, 20th Prairal.
The English have made a new attempt upon the coasts of Normandy. We are assured that they have even landed 1,800 emigrants at a small dis- tance from Avranches, that troops have been marched to the place of debarkation, and that al- ready they have had some bloody skirmishes.
On the 19th they add, that an English squadron composed of nine ships of war of different sizes, appeared before St. Maloes, and advanced even to the mouth of the road; next day it had moved near the gun-ports of a fort called Lavarde, which de- fends the approaches to St. Maloes on the side of Canealle.

Stocks experienced a considerable fall yester- day, in consequence of the intelligence received from Germany in the morning; the monied men concluding that Austrian successes can have no other tendency than to prolong the disadvantages of the war, and render the benefit and blessings of peace more distant than ever.
A letter from Berlin of the 20th ult. states, that the Prussian troops, who constitute the greatest part of the army which is to protect the North of Germany, have put themselves in motion on the 16th inst. on their march to the Wefer.
The brother of General Buonaparte lately re- connoitring the Citadel of Mantua, was surprised, and nearly carried off by some Croats from the gar- rison; But some French Hussars coming up, they rescued him.
A General Election has been sometimes called the British Saturnalia; it resembles this Roman Festival in more things than one; during its con- tinuance all ranks are levelled, and the conclusion renders the equality more permanent by the Aristo- cratic Candidate's estate coming under the ham- mer of the auctioneer, and being purchased by some of his Plebeian Constituents.
M. Pache, formerly Mayor of Paris, mentioned upon the authority of the Ministerial papers as having been taken up in this country turns out to be a M. Le Page from St. Domingo, member of the Constituent Assembly. Upon discovering the mistake he was immediately set at liberty.
Mr. Gibbon in his History, says, that the time was when the Pope could trim up all the Parsons in Europe, so as to make every pulpit in Christen- dom resound with the same air, like the leader of an orchestra. The time, however, was now passed away, "like a tale told by an idiot!"—It is liter- ally forgotten.
We lay before our readers the last communica- tion from Mr. Barthelemy to the state of Basle, dated 15 Prairal, June 2.
"Mighty Lords,
"From authentic intelligence it appears, that the army under the command of Conde are on their march towards your frontiers, to resume the posi- tion they occupied the last campaign. I cannot, Mighty Lords, refrain from calling your attention to the avowed object of that corps of Emigrants, and admonishing you to devise the most effectual means for the maintenance of the neutrality of your territory, and to repel any aggression that may be made upon it."
"I have reason to believe, that the measures you have already concerted with the confederate States for this purpose, together with the rein- forcements composed of the Helvetic contingents, cannot fail to give the Executive Directory of the French Republic the utmost confidence in the most scrupulous observance of the duties as a neutral country."
"You will not I hope, mighty Lords, mistake the interference of the French government, when, in conformity to my instructions. I again solicit your attention respecting Conde's army. The only object I have in view on the present occasion is, to preserve the tranquillity of your Canton, and an earnest desire to avert from your frontiers all the calamities which to me appear the inevitable necessary consequence of neglect and the want of a clear understanding at the present moment."
"The proper dispositions have been made by our generals, all possible precautions taken on the con- fines of France to repel any aggression that may be made by the enemy, after traversing your terri- tories, and should this band of Emigrants have the temerity, if despair itself should drive them to so forlorn an expedient, as to advance with arms in their hands to the very bosom of the French nation, they cannot by any possibility escape destruction. May God preserve you, &c."

In a few days after the receipt of the above let- ter, M. Ochs, Burgomaster of the state of Basle, set out for Paris.
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
STATE PAPER.
The Speech of M. VERNINAC, upon the delivery of his Credentials to the Grand Seigneur on the 26th ult.
"I transmit to your Highness the evidence of the friendship of a faithful alliance with the Ot- oman Porte. This amity which originated in a wise system since the time of the great Solyman, confirmed by many happy connections for three centuries past, and increased under imperious cir- cumstances, is a genuine national sentiment, which, in consequence of the liberty it enjoys at present, will in future extend the circle of its operations be- yond the narrow limits of a simple wish, by the display of its full powers in the face of all Europe. The French Republic does not conceal her in- clinations—and the successful valour with which she combats her enemies, inspire her with confi- dence in speaking of her friendship."
"I can now with propriety assure you, that the time is past when the rumour of events passing from the shore of the Bosphorus, the Dnieper, and the Danube, would expire upon the Seine, in a broken and unregarded echo."
"With the happiness of the Republic, in union with the Ottoman Empire, she wishes it may al- ways be governed by such a Prince as your High- ness. It is with pleasure she beholds you surround- ed with wise ministers; while in the bloom of life, you are only occupied in affairs of the highest im- portance without once losing sight of the happi- ness and glory of your people. May your virtues and their auspicious consequences ever follow you as your merited reward; and may the great hopes with which you have inspired the Republic never prove fruitless. Receive this wish of the French Envoy as a pledge of his particular respect and his devotion to your highness."
This speech and its answer by the Grand Visir, was interpreted by Dragomans; and to the splen- did habit of M. Verninac, the tri-coloured ribband as a scarf, and a cluster of diamonds in his hat, were additional ornaments. The French troops that followed the procession with shoudered arms, landed from frigates in the harbor, were attended through the streets, by military music, and went as far as the second court of the Seraglio with the Envoy.

"In hope of defeating the effect of the vigilance we exert, imposing on the good faith which au- imates us, and obtaining rather a delay favourable to his perfidious designs, or more advantageous conditions, the individual named Puisaye, calling himself commander in chief of the pretended Ca- tholic army has made, by his agents to several Ge- neral Officers of the army, various insignificant and invidious demands and propositions, tending to commit them in the eyes of the Government. The Commander in Chief, who has for a long time known and discovered the atrocious plots of this agent of England, warns his brothers in arms to be on their guard, and to follow with precision what is pointed out to them in the orders of 17th and 18th current. He at the same time recom- mends to them the greatest activity; and the li- teral execution of the mandate of the Executive Di- rectory, on the subject of the disarming of the in- habitants."

General Angereau's division, Citizen Directors, passed the Po at Borgoforte, on the 16th of June; on the 10th I arrived at Modena, whence I sent or- ders, by Adjutant-General Vignole, to the garrison of the Castle of Urbino, to lay down their arms, and to surrender themselves prisoners of war. I continued my route to Bologna, where I arrived at midnight. We found in the Fort of Urbino 50 pieces of cannon in excellent order, 500 fusils, and provisions for 600 men for two months. Fort Ur- bino is in an excellent state of defence; it is sur- rounded by walls well provided with battions, a ditch full of water, and a covered way newly re- paired. It was commanded by a Knight of Malta, and the garrison consisted of 300 men, whom we have made prisoners.
At Bologna we took the Cardinal Legate, with all the officers of the staff, and four standards. We have also taken the Cardinal Legate of Fer- rara, with the commandant of the Fort of Ferrara, who is a Knight of Malta. In the Castle of Fer- rara there are 114 pieces of cannon.
The Artillery we have taken will enable us to form the siege of Mantua.
The twenty pictures with which Parma was to supply us are sent off. The celebrated picture of St. Jerome is so much esteemed in this country, that they offered us a million for it.
Some pictures from Modena are also sent off. Citizen Barthelemy is at present employed in mak- ing a selection of the pictures at Bologna. He in- tends to take 50 of them, among which is the St. Cecilia, which is said to be the chef d'œuvre of Michael Angelo.
At Pavia, employed in enriching our Botanic Gar- den, and our Cabinet of Natural History. I ima- gine they will not forget a complete collection of Serpents, which alone appeared to me sufficient to compensate for the trouble of the journey. I ex- pect they will be at Bologna the day after to-mor- row, where they will also find a plentiful harvest.
At Milan I saw the celebrated Oriani; the first audience he had of me, he was so confused that he could not answer any question I put to him. When he recovered from his astonishment, he said, "per- don me, but this is the first time I have been in these superb apartments, my eyes are not ne- cessarily accustomed." He was not aware that by these few words he uttered a severe criticism on the Arch- duke's Government. I hastened to pay him his sa- lary, and gave him every necessary encourage- ment.
By the first courier, I shall send you the letters I wrote to him, the moment I received the recommen- dation which you sent me for him.

Extract of a letter from Buonaparte, to the Exe- cutive Directory.
Head-Quarters at Bologna, June 23. Yesterday Massena attacked Beaulieu's advanced posts; all which he drove in, having killed 50 men and taken 40 prisoners.
I continue to be satisfied with the discipline of the army, as well as with the Generals.
BUONAPARTE.
Tranquility is restored to this city. Pillage has ceased. It must be allowed that it is almost a mira- cle, for the government were on the point of see- ing a part of those very men, whose duty it is to suppress sedition, join the insurgents. Will people be convinced at length that there can be no ade- quate security for property in a great town like this the center of all the factious, and of every species of seduction, until its defence, at least in part, shall be entrusted to those who are most interested in securing it against all attack.

The Directory have sent away a part of the troops that were stationed in the metropolis, and have ordered others to replace them.
Prince Henry of Prussia corresponds with the Academy of Arts and Sciences established at Paris, to which he offered to send a M. S. of Diderot, in his possession, entitled, Jacques le Fataliste.

The Ottoman Ambassador is arrived in France. He passed through Chamberry on the 25th of June and may be expected at Paris in a few days.
The Cardinals of Bologna and Ferrara were made prisoners; but Buonaparte, after he had shown them to the army, sent them back to Rome, on their parole saying, "Go and tell your master what you have seen."
The following are the conditions of a suspension of hostilities, which has been agreed upon between Gen. Buonaparte and Prince Belmonte Pignatelli, envoy from the Court of Naples to the Court of Madrid.
Art. I. All hostilities shall cease between the troops of the French Republic and those of the King of Naples, on the day on which the following articles shall be executed, until ten days after the official announcement of the conclusion of the negotiation for peace, which shall be opened between the respective plenipotentiaries, at a place to be appointed by the executive directory.
II. The body of Neapolitan troops now acting with those of the Emperor, shall be withdrawn, and cantoned in the places hereafter specified.
III. This Corps being comprised in the suspension of arms, shall go into cantonments in the Venetian territory of Brescia, Crema and Bergamo.
IV. The said suspension of arms shall extend to the fleets of the two powers; and meanwhile, the ships of the King of Naples shall be withdrawn, as soon as possible, from the English fleet.
V. A free passage, as well through the French territories, as through the country occupied by the French troops, and through the Neapolitan dominions, shall be granted to the Couriers of both powers.

The army of the Rhine and Moselle has gained a fresh victory beyond the Rhine. It has entered Fribourg, in the Brisgau, after a long and bloody action, maintained by the Imperial regiment of Cuirassiers. It is said, that there is scarcely one of the Cuirassiers who is not covered with wounds. Prodigies of valour have been performed on both sides. Official details are, no doubt, about to be published.

I have enclosed, Citizens Directors, a copy of the armistice concluded with the Pope. The legation of Bologna is one of the richest parts of the papal territories, you cannot have an idea of the hatred which prevails here against the dominion of the pope.
The Citadel of Ancona gives us a command over the Adriatic Gulph; we have taken in the forts Urbino, Ferrara and Bologna nearly 200 pieces of brass cannon, from 7 to 8000 fusils and a certain quantity of ammunition and provisions.

MILAN, June 12.
The resolution passed by the municipality of Milan, with the approbation of the Agent of the French government, for the abolition of nobility is the commencement of a new order of things.
No pains are spared to gain over the people by reducing the price of different articles of consumption, and to enlighten them on the subject of their rights. The proclamations of the municipality, and the books circulated by the popular club, have equally contributed to forward this purpose.

"The Executive Directory gives you notice, Citizen General, that they have acceded to the demand of the Spanish General, Solano, and his brother Stanislaus, to repair to the army which you command, to perfect their military knowledge."
"As soon as they arrive, you will inform the army of the circumstance, who will doubtless be flattered by this preference; and, sensible of the homage rendered to the French nation in the persons of its defenders, will consider it as a subject for emulation, which will stimulate them to fresh efforts."

We learn by letters from Falmouth, that Sir Edward Pellew in the frigate Concorde, has taken the French frigate La Coerde Nationale, of 54 guns and 600 men, she is now on her way to Plymouth. On board of her, there were 10 Members of the last French Convention. She failed in company with four others, on a secret expedition. The English frigate had one lieutenant and 17 seamen killed. The English Squadron is now in pursuit of the other four frigates of the enemy.
VEZEL, June 9.
At Cologne the French commander has issued a Proclamation, respecting a plot laid to be formed, to assassinate the French garrison, but the Municipality gave satisfactory explanations on that subject.
Extract of a letter from Wetzlar, June 17. Herewith you will receive some details of the battles fought, on the 14th, 15th and 16th, near our city, and at Altemberg.
On the 14th there were only skirmishes, without any formal attack, yet the French were repulsed from Wehrdorf, Berghausen, Dillheim and Ketzenfons; all those places suffered greatly by their retreat.
On the 15th, affairs began to wear a more serious aspect. The French returned of the reinforcements, arrived for the Imperialists on the Lahn and Dill, intended to force the centre of the Imperialists, which expedition Gen. Le Febvre undertook, with 25,000 men. He is the same who commanded the expedition of last year in this quarter, and is perfectly acquainted with the country. On the 15th in the forenoon, he attacked the Imperialists at Berghausen, Wehrdorf, and pushed his forces forwards through the woods near those places. The Austrian Grenadiers, the regiment of Hussars, Vezay, and the Saxon Chasseurs, just arrived, attacked the enemy; but the French annoyed these troops considerably, by masked batteries erected from Leun to Altenstein, firing grape shot, where by the Saxon Chasseurs suffered severely. Field Marshal, Lieutenant de Werneck advanced with the remainder of his troops, posted behind our city; the cannonade became frightful, the Imperialists on several points were obliged to give way, the rain and weather not being in their favour. We lived in anxiety, and a retreat appeared to be unavoidable; so matters stood at 7 in the evening, when unexpectedly and like a favour from Heaven, arrived the Archduke Charles, and hastened in full gallop to the field of battle. During the most terrible fire of grape shot, he rode through the ranks and encouraged the troops, by assuring them that reinforcements were drawing near. The Imperialists now persevered with unexampled bravery. A few moments past Imperial troops arrived from Weissenfels and Nuchheim, filing off to Konigsberg. At the same time the brave Saxon troops marched by Reichenbach to the field of battle, and more cannon arrived, which the Imperialists stood in need of. Now they attempted to decoy the enemy from his woods; but in vain. Then the Imperialists erected two batteries in opposition, and commenced a violent cannonade. The Imperial and Saxon cavalry turned the woods, the infantry charged the batteries with bayonets and stormed the cavalry ranged in the woods, when the French were obliged to retire; and by 10 at night victory decided for the Austrians. On both sides many were killed and wounded. The grape shot did great execution among the Imperialists. The Saxons performed prodigies of valor, and to them the victory is principally owing. Many prisoners are not brought in yet, amongst them is a colonel of cavalry wounded. Twelve cannon were taken. A lieutenant of the Saxon chasseurs, the first who penetrated in the woods, was taken prisoner, and was found afterwards with his throat cut.
Yesterday the 16th the attack was renewed and the French driven from Leun, Stockhouse, and Weissenfels. The hussars of Blankenstein crossed the Lahn near Overbuehl, made many prisoners, and took a cannon.
General Lefebvre had his hand cut off by a Saxon horseman, and his brother was killed by the musketry.
The prisoners from Jourdan's assure us, that they were promised to plunder Frankfort, if they could penetrate to that place. This at first occasioned great alarm amongst the inhabitants. Thus Wetzlar, Frankfort and their environs were saved.
It was necessary to hasten the arrival of 9,000 Saxons, by an express; the Archduke led them himself to the battle.
From Dillenburg the hussars brought in yesterday a French commissary and seven chasseurs, upon whom they found 200 louis d'ors.
This day the whole Imperial army passes the Lahn in pursuit of the enemy, the loss of which is said to be 3000 men.

Those he set free to and has publicly declared he will do so in every instance, which is poor encouragement for Americans to purchase prizes of them. One of them was a brig belonging to P. and T.

NEW-YORK, August 27. Extract of a letter from Capt. James Neill, of the brig Mary Ann, dated Cadiz, July 12, 1796, to his owners in New-York, received per ship Factor, Capt. Kemp, just arrived from thence.
"Thank GOD, I am here! For I had a very fortunate escape from two Algerines I fell in with, off Cape Palos, coming down from Barcelona. They endeavored to board me, knowing not what I was, by shewing my colors, as also by speaking a Spanish ship which was at Salon along with me; but luckily I was near the land, and I got under one of the towers and let go my anchor, which protected me. When the Algerines found I was thus situated, they fired a gun to windward and made sail to the wellward. I considered it would be imprudent and dangerous immediately to follow them, so I put into the port of Cartagena, which detained me six days. I shall not be surprised to hear in a few days, of many of our vessels being captured and carried into Algiers—there are several of them in the Mediterranean, and our truce expired on the 6th inst. and no hopes of its renewal, or any other favorable circumstance taking place. There is great talk of war commencing between Great-Britain and Spain shortly, which I believe will be the case. All the English vessels that are in this port at present, are ordered to Gibraltar, and they are to sail from hence to-morrow, at all events."
When Capt. Kemp, of the Factor, left Cadiz, seven French ships of the line and three frigates lay in that port. About 50 sail of Spanish ships of war, many of them of the line, were also lying there, making preparation for war, which they daily expected. The English merchant ships had been ordered by the Governor of Gibraltar to quit Cadiz—they accordingly failed for the port of Gibraltar under convoy of an English frigate: Capt. Kemp failed out in company with them. Adm. Richery was still blockaded in the port of Cadiz. Dull market for produce—flour 10 to 12 dollars, beef 18, pork 20 to 21.
By a Halifax paper of August 11th, we learn that the British ship Active, having on board Lord Dorchester and family, was cast away on the Island of Anticosti. The fate of his lordship is not mentioned.
