Negro DANIEL this morning eloped from me. He is a lusty fellow, about 26 years of age, pretty much pitted with the small pox. He had on, and took away with him, a nankeen coat and pantaloons, striped jacket, osnaburgs shirt and felt hat. I purchased this man from the estate of the late Earl of Tankerville, and suppose, he will endeavor to conceal himself in the Federal City, Alexandria, or the vicinity. Any person who will apprehend the said slave, and secure him in jail, so that I get him again, shall receive the above reward, exclusive of what the law allows, and all reasonable expenses if brought home. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned, at their peril, not to harbor or take him away.
Given at Brenton, under my hand, the 24 day of July, 1801.

A great revolution in the government of St. Domingo has been effected, subject to the ratification of the French Republic. In our last we stated this event. We have now the pleasure of presenting to our readers the following interesting details.
In our next we shall publish the new Constitution, whose length has prevented its translation for this day's paper.

PROMULGATION OF THE COLONIAL CONSTITUTION.
Cape-Francois, July 5.
THE government announced some days since, in a hand-bill distributed through the town, that the central assembly had fixed on the 7th of this month as the day on which the Colonial Constitution should be promulgated; and to render this ceremony as splendid as it is impressive, the General himself had settled the details. In consequence of his orders the generale was beat yesterday, at 3 o'clock in the morning, through all the sections of the town, and bands of music, intermixed with drums, alternately mingled their melodious sounds with those instruments that war has adopted to proclaim its terrors. At 5 o'clock, the troops of the line and of the national guard met at the Place d'Armes, where they appeared in good order and made a handsome display.
All the civil and military authorities, in their appropriate dresses, attended at the government house; on leaving it, they observed the arrangements prescribed in the hand-bill, and marched in the following order to the Place d'Armes.
 The commission of Commerce,  The administration of the Marine,  The Municipality,  The tribunal of Commerce,  The tribunal of Peace,  The civil Tribunal,  The central Assembly. 
The general in chief, accompanied by two generals, and all the military officers who were attached to no particular corps, but were out of service.
Arrived at the Place d'Armes, the civil and military authorities formed a circle round a tribune, which had been raised, in order to give dignity to the scene, and that the promulgation of the constitution should be solemnly and distinctly made.
The concourse was immense. The most profound silence reigned, and each one awaited with impatience, the reading of a work, which was to fix the destinies of St. Domingo.
At this moment Citizen Borgelle, President of the central Assembly, appeared in the tribune and prefaced the announcement of the Constitution by an elegant discourse.
We are afraid of impairing the interest it excited by an abridgment, and therefore present it as it was delivered.
French Colonists, and brave soldiers!
"It is long since St. Domingo aspired to the inappreciable happiness of having a local constitution.
"The factions which have succeeded each other in the government of France in propagating their anarchical principles in this distant Island, had silenced the just complaints of its unfortunate inhabitants, had degraded them from the dignity of freemen, had robbed them even of those precious emotions, inspired by sentiments which elevate and ennoble the soul and had forced them to receive laws which they had neither made, or consented to.
"The French colonies, said the constitution of the year 3, (art. 6.) are internal parts of the republic and are subject to the same constitutional laws.
"Thus by the most terrible fatality the destinies of St. Domingo have been associated with those of France. It is thus
that that spirit of party, which has desolated France, has extended its ramifications, across the immensity of the Ocean, and has made St. Domingo bow under the enormous weight of its corrupt influence. At length, Buonaparte flew from the confines of Egypt to the heart of France; in a moment faction vanished and social order succeeded to the convulsions of anarchy.
"The republic tasted the sweets of peace within, and prepared itself to reap its fruits without.
"A new constitution is formed; free from that complexity of powers, which, interfering with each other, are calculated to produce popular cabals, diversities of opinions, and public calamities.
"But this new Constitution, has it been made for you, insolated inhabitants of a region so remote and so different from the parent nation? Have your Representatives, like those of the other French departments, concurring and participating powers? No. The wisdom and accompanying virtues which have presided at the formation of this constitutional act, have consecrated your rights, and secured your interests.
"From this moment justice has declared for you, the powerful and generous nation, whose taste and character you participate, and of which you form a part, has broken the shameful chains which the spirit of party and of anarchy had forged for you.
"It has acknowledged the rights which you inherit from nature. Henceforth, you will not be exposed to those terrible commotions, those violent convulsions, those political storms which arise from the execution of laws, made without your approbation, made far from you, and which consequently cannot accord with your manners, your customs, nor with the climate you inhabit.
"Thanks be rendered to the new French Constitution! French Colonists, you have been awakened by the gift article; the want of laws has at last been felt, and you have expressed your wishes to the general, who governs this colony, to the general who so often has snatched you from the edge of a precipice, and who has so successfully defended you from the attempts of French enemies, and from the influence of every faction. Ah, you could not be deaf to the man, who has devoted his life in binding up the wounds of this suffering colony, and in pouring on them a healing and consoling balm.
"TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE, this extraordinary man, whose noble actions command your admiration and your gratitude, has risen like a Phoenix from the midst of ashes, and has wholly devoted himself to the defence of your country, of your persons and property.
"In the midst of the convulsive throes of anarchy he has had the generosity and the courage to assume the government of an abandoned colony, without any defence but that given by nature, and destitute of every means to protect agriculture and commerce.
"You know he has every where upheld the French character by causing the French flag to be respected.
"He has filled your ports with provisions, he has enlivened your agriculture, he has rebuilt your cities, and disciplined your troops.
"He has done still more—he has conquered inveterate prejudices, he has strengthened the bonds of the tenderest fraternity, those bonds which the old colonial system had so cruelly broken, and which anarchy, in order to maintain its odious empire, so inhumanly sported with. The proclamation of the general in chief, who has convoked your representatives, proves to you his desire for your happiness; it announces to you that the period of convulsion is passed. It demonstrates to you the necessity of forming proper laws, and adopting this constant maxim that laws are conventions established by men, who ought to conform themselves

thereto, to regulate the order of society; it discovers to you, that it is with laws as with the productions of the earth, that each country has its peculiar manners and its statutes, as it has its peculiar productions.
"According to these principles, an assembly of the inhabitants have received from you the important task of laying the constitutional foundation of an interior system for this colony, and faithful to the mother country, the General, who has authorized this assembly, has proclaimed that this system shall be submitted to the sanction of the French Government.
"Considering the distance of France, and the wars in which he is now engaged, your representatives should not interpret unfavorably her long silence; but alarmed by your want of laws in this perilous moment, they should dissipate every inquietude, and re-assure every mind. Acknowledging that the safety of the whole is the supreme law, they have believed it their duty to invite the general who watches over the destinies of St. Domingo, to carry into effect the basis of legislation which they have laid. It is now that this system is offered to you; your present and future happiness has incessantly occupied the attention of your deputies; they have made every effort to render it durable. May they not be disappointed!
"French colonists and brave soldiers! never forget, but impress it deeply on your minds, that it is time and experience alone which can consolidate human institutions. Rally around this family compact which is presented to you; your deputies deposit it in your bosoms as the palladium of your civil and political liberty, as the pledge of their affection for you, and of their devotion to the republic.
"Long live the republic, which reforms and which protects its colonies!" Citizen Bergella then read another discourse in the form of an introduction to the constitution. Although this preliminary discourse appears to us inseparable from the constitution, of which it is only the development, we think it proper to insert it for the satisfaction of our distant subscribers.
"The colony of St. Domingo existed many years without any positive laws. For a long time governed by ambitious men, its annihilation would have been inevitable, had not the just and equitable mind of the general in chief Toussaint Louverture, by combinations the most just, and plans the best formed, and actions the most energetic, delivered it, nearly at the same time, from its interior and exterior enemies, and successfully extinguished every spark of discord; rescued it from the bosom of anarchy, made abundance succeed to misery, and the love of labor and of peace to civil war and idleness, security to terror, and, in a word, insured its entire submission to the French empire. The revolution had violently overthrown all which constituted the system by which the island of St. Domingo had been anciently administered.
"The different legislative assemblies of France, in its room, had substituted new laws at different epochs; but as soon as reported, their incoherency and insufficiency were acknowledged even by those who had formed them—and the manner in which they were executed by factious and disorderly men, who interpreted them as best suited their interests, contributed rather to produce than to prevent disorder. The natural consequences of this order of things has been, to make those laws which ought to have been received only with sentiments of respect, regarded as objects either of alarm or contempt. The wise men who had co-operated in the formation of the constitution of the year 8, have without doubt felt the necessity of forming a new system for the distant colonies, and in its formation, of consulting the manners, the customs, and the wants of the Frenchmen who inhabit them, and the circumstances in which at present they are found. Can it be an easy matter to weigh all these considerations, when their information is so frequently inaccurate or unfaithful? At such a distance can they discover the changes of public opinion; can they know the sufferings of the people, and if known could they apply those remedies which are most efficacious and necessary, especially in time of war?
"Even if past experience had not made it an imperious duty, the 9th article of the French constitution would authorize the inhabitants of St. Domingo to indicate to the French government, the laws by which they would wish to be governed—and what
more propitious moment could we seize for laying the foundations of this important work, than the present, when the ancient edifice is cleared of its ruins—when its intricacies are unfolded—when prejudices are subdued, and when the passions are calmed.
"Circumstances so favourable for fixing the destiny of a nation, can occur but seldom in the lapse of many ages; if we neglect this opportunity, another may never be found.
"To the fundamental causes, which render a local constitution necessary for St. Domingo, besides the interests of the inhabitants, (which are intimately connected with those of the mother country) are added other motives equally powerful.
"The just claim of the departments of the colonies to enjoy the advantages of the tribunals of justice.
"The necessity of introducing new planters, in order to extend and improve agriculture, of reviving commerce and re-establishing manufactures.
"The utility of cementing the union of the ci-devant Spanish inhabitants with the antient French inhabitants.
"The impossibility of the mother country's succouring or providing for this immense colony during the war with the maritime powers.
"The necessity of establishing a simple and uniform system for the administration of the finances of the colony, and for correcting existing abuses.
"The obligation of satisfying absent proprietors as to the safety of their property.
"In a word, the importance of maintaining and consolidating internal peace, of augmenting that prosperity, which this colony begins to enjoy after the storms by which it has been torn and distracted; of teaching to each individual his rights and his duties, and of extinguishing all distrusts and suspicions by presenting a code of laws which will inspire confidence, and harmonize contending interests.
"Such have been the motives which have determined the general in chief to convoke a legislative assembly, charged with proposing to the French government, a constitution the best calculated for the colony of St. Domingo. This work will add another benefit to those we have already received from him.
"The few members, of whom this assembly is composed, have declared that while they wished to free their discussions from all tumults and passion, they desired to be acquainted with the ideas and opinions of all intelligent men, so that this important work might be the result of the united labours of the whole colony.
"If the central assembly has not completely fulfilled the expectations of its constitution, if it has not attained the end designed by the general in chief, it has at least done all that circumstances allowed; at the same time that it has proposed all the changes which are desirable. It will require much time for the colony to arrive at its greatest prosperity, that can only be reached by a gradual progress. Wealth to be durable, can increase but slowly; in this respect we must imitate nature, who never acts with precipitation, but who gradually, though surely, matures its beneficent productions.
"The assembly will rejoice if its first attempt shall, in any degree, ameliorate the state of its fellow citizens, and if it shall have gained their esteem and indulgence, as well as the approbation of France, although it may not have attained any great perfection.
"Every article of the constitution was discussed and determined without passion, without prejudice, without partiality; and that mode of government has been adopted, which they thought was best calculated to preserve our tranquility, and to raise us to our ancient splendor. In the two succeeding years the central Assemblies will make those alterations which time and experience shall shew to be necessary.
"The central assembly has not the vanity to believe that it has proposed the best possible constitution; but it can assure its fellow-citizens, that the most ardent desires have been felt and the greatest exertions made to ensure the present tranquility of the colony, to confirm and increase its prosperity, and to prove their attachment to the French government.
After this discourse was finished, citizen Bergella announced the reading of the constitution. On this the most profound silence reigned through all ranks. Each individual listened to the promulgation with that interest which an act that was to
determine their privileges and duties, naturally inspired.
[To be continued.]
SALEM, August 4. FROM RUSSIA.
Yesterday arrived here the ship Friendship, capt. Story, from St. Petersburg. Capt. Story confirms the accounts of the pacific disposition of the new Emperor, and of the consequent release of the English sailors, and restoration of their ships. Nothing however, had then been settled between England and Russia. It was said that the latter would still adhere to the principles of the armed neutrality; that a powerful party in the Emperor's councils evinced a hostile disposition towards the English; and that the attack on their allies the Danes was a matter which they could not easily digest. In the mean time the Russians were fortifying the port of Cronstadt in the most effectual manner. The account of the progress of the British fleet in the Baltic, and their being off Riga, occasioned considerable sensation at St. Petersburg, and the men of war were in consequence withdrawn into the inner harbor; but the return of the British fleet restored things to their natural state.
The executioners of the Emperor Paul, capt. Story informs us, are well known to the public, and were pointed out to him as the benefactors of the empire. The character of the new Emperor is a perfect contrast to that of his father, and of course all those odious regulations, which regarded even the most minute parts of dress, are done away. He receives his subjects with affability; refuses those slavish marks of submission which had been exacted by Paul; and is beloved by his subjects.
When capt. Story was at Elfineur, he found that the minds of the Danes were not yet calmed, since their contest with the British fleet, and they were diligently strengthening their fortifications. Of the Swedes they complained loudly, for not co-operating with them against the British.
The British fleet was just within the Baltic; the new admiral (Pole) had arrived; and lord Nelson failed for England on the day that capt. Story left Elfineur.
NEW-YORK, August 8.
Last evening arrived the ship Portland, capt. Pollard, from Liverpool. By a passenger we have received the [London] Morning Herald, of the 18th and 19th of June. They contain but few articles of importance—on account of the lateness of the hour we received them, we had only time to select the most material for this day's paper.
In the British house of commons, the 17th June, the report of the committee on the Prize Courts in the West-Indies, for granting salaries not exceeding 2000l. a year to judges in the said courts, was bro't up and agreed to: and provision was ordered to be made accordingly in the Prize Court Bill, introduced by Sir William Scott. The bill for extending the American treaty to Ireland, went thro' its several stages.
On the 18th of June, in the court of King's bench, capt. George Cunningham, of an American ship, was brought up by a writ of habeas corpus from Newgate, upon a charge of having murdered one of his seamen; and was discharged, on entering into recognizances for his appearance at the next admiralty sessions.

LONDON, June 17.
On Saturday the first instalment of the subsidy to Portugal, amounting to 100000l. was sent off from the bank in gold and silver. It is forwarded to Lisbon by the Anson frigate at Portsmouth which was to sail yesterday for the Tagus, and was to take home the late Portuguese ambassador the Chevalier d'Almeida.
On Sunday last a neutral vessel arrived at Dover, from Calais, with fifteen passengers, who state, that the opposite coast is lined with French troops, and that great preparations are actually making for the threatened invasion of this country. Two additional regiments marched into Calais a few days ago, and a number of flat-bottomed boats are said to be in readiness, each mounting three 36-pounders, and capable of carrying from 50 to 60 men. They likewise state, that the chief consul had a grand review of the national guards in the gardens of the Thuilleries, on Thursday last, and that it was currently reported at Paris, that the army of the Rhine was to be employed in the intended expedition against England. The French al-
low us, they say, great merit in Egypt, where an armistice, they add, has been recently entered into for twenty-one days.
A letter from Sir Edward Pellew's squadron just received, says the French ships of war at Aix, have five thousand troops on board, and that in the interval a large army is flouted.
Sir James Saumarez was appointed to sail on Monday last with seven ships of the line, on a cruise off Cadiz, with a view of intercepting a squadron in that port, which is nearly ready for sea.
The squadron getting ready for a fresh expedition in Cawland Bay, is to consist of the following men of war, viz. Calcutta of 84 guns, rear-admiral Sir J. Saumarez, bart. capt. Preston; Pompey, of 84 guns, captain Stirling; Hannibal, 74 guns, captain Ferris; Audacious, 74 guns, captain Edwards; Codrington, 74 guns, captain Southey; Thames, 50 guns, captain Lukin; the Admiral Perry, 16 guns, lieut. W. Wooldridge, vice the Speedwell, 16 guns, lieut. Tomlinson, ordered on another service.
CORN MARKETS.—The sales this morning at Mark-lane were very dull, the purchasers being exceedingly few. Fine English Wheats maintained their former price, but those of inferior quality were from 4s. to 5s. cheaper.

We have received Paris papers to the 5th, inclusive, being two days later than those which reached town on Tuesday. They were brought to Dover by a cartel which arrived there in the morning with dispatches for M. Otto, but they contain scarcely any thing worthy notice.
A dispatch from Lord Elgin, at Constantinople, was received yesterday by Government. It brings accounts from before Alexandria so late as the third of May, at which time nothing important had happened, subsequent to the events which have been recorded in the gazettes.
Lord Elgin is reported to have received a dispatch from Admiral Blanket, stating his arrival at Suez, with the reinforcements from Bengal and Bombay. We have heard similar accounts so often before, without being well founded, that we cannot give credit to reports of this kind till officially announced.
By private letters from Hamburg, we learn that the French Government has informed Mr. Doorman, the Syndic of Hamburg, who is at Paris, that it insists upon the four millions which it has demanded from the firm of Mr. Chapeaurouge for a private debt.
PRIZE COURTS.—On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the House went into a Committee to consider of the salaries to be granted to the judges of his Majesty's Prize Courts in America and in the West Indies, and of allowances to be afforded to persons who have exercised this office. The two following resolutions were moved and agreed to:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this committee that a sum not exceeding 2000l. a year, be granted out of the Consolidated Fund, as a salary to each of the judges of his Majesty's Prize Courts, in any two of the West India islands, or in Halifax, in Nova-Scotia.
That a sum not exceeding 1000l. be granted as an allowance, under certain restrictions, to persons who have exercised this office.
A flag of truce arrived at Dover yesterday morning from Calais, with dispatches from M. Otto, which were last night received by that gentleman.
An article from Vienna, of the 20th ult, states, that the report of a French army having obtained possession of Bremen

Negro and Turkish Dalmatia wants con- firmation.
The Minister of the Interior, on the evening of the 13th instant, gave a most splendid fete at Paris, to the King of Etruria. At nine o'clock, the whole of the apartments, the gardens, and the halls, were illuminated, forming altogether a brilliant spectacle, to which, say the Parisian writers, no pencil can do adequate justice. All the constituted authorities, and a numerous assemblage of ladies were present; and to the festive magnificence of the banquet, was added every refined species of amusement that the capital could furnish. The French funds are rather lower than they were stated to be by the former accounts.
The advices from the coast of France continue to represent the military preparations in that direction as extremely formidable; and it is again reported that the Brest fleet, with a vast number of troops on board, is completely ready for sea.
Rear Admiral Sir James Saumarez failed with his squadron from Plymouth on Monday, to cruise off Cadiz.
Extract of a letter from Hamburg, dated June 9.
"A private letter from Copenhagen, of the 5th inst. received here this afternoon, contains the following observations respecting the Northern Alliance:—Mor than half the duration of the armistice between Denmark and England having already expired, the topic of general conversation, in all the higher circles here, is the probability of a renewal of hostilities. The seizure of our West-India Islands, without any previous and formal declaration of war, and of the early period when they happened, has excited more indignation than surprise among us, and occasioned the special mission of our Secretary of State, Count Bernstorff, to the Court of St. James's, where the success or failure of his negotiations (which will be but of short duration) will decide the question of peace or war. Our Court and those of Sweden and Berlin, are firmly resolved not to give up the principles on which the convention of the North is founded, though the convention itself may, under present circumstances, be suspended, or undergo certain abatements or modifications in its tenor. What proves this is the solemn exchange of the ratifications subsequent to the battle of Copenhagen; our Ambassador extraordinary at Berlin, Rosenkrantz, exchanged that of the Danish cabinet with Count Haugwitz on the 30th ult. Another circumstance which shows that there are serious apprehensions of a continuation of the war is, that the works in our arsenals, dock-yards, and at the fortifications, are carried on almost without intermission; and last Wednesday, June 3, the King, very unexpectedly, issued an edict or summons to his subjects in general, to defend his kingdoms, and rendered all persons from the age of 21 to 50, who did not belong to the embodied militia and volunteers, liable to be called out in case of invasion."
Negotiations are still carrying on at Berlin, with the Batavian plenipotentiary, citizen Hultmann, relative to the indemnifications for the Prince of Orange.
Though the French have made no hostile demonstrations on the right bank of the Rhine, yet it is certain, and the French papers acknowledge it, that a very large force is stationed in the Belgic departments, and in the four departments of the Rhine. The amount of this force is not less than 60,000 men.
A letter from the Hague, dated June 5, after 8, that the new constitution, submitted to the Batavian legislature, will probably be rejected. Up to that date only four members of the legislature had voted for it, three of whom were members of the committee of revision, while 19 had voted against its adoption.
The statement in the Moneur , that the return of the several French commanders to the fortresses which they had formerly occupied on the right bank of the Rhine, was not occasioned by hostile views, is confirmed by different accounts from Germany. The detachment which returned to Cassel consisted of a subaltern and four grenadiers. The alarm which had been excited throughout the interior of the Empire has, of course, subsided.
A private letter from Paris, of the 12th inst. contains the following statements, for the truth of which we cannot pretend to vouch: "The spirit of faction is steadily at work in this capital, and reports of an alarming nature have found their way into almost every public meeting. It is confidently asserted, that a considerable
difference of opinion, respecting the state of public affairs, exists in the cabinet of the Thuilleries; and we know that some leading persons under government have not scrupled of late to declare their dissatisfaction at the political system of the First Consul. Talleyrand and Carnot have had several long conferences with Buonaparte within the last week. The vigilance of Fouché is indefatigable, and the old system of espionage has been revived.
"Peace or war depends entirely on the result of Durand's mission to St. Petersburg, where he is to learn all the wishes and proposals of the Russian Cabinet relative to the system of indemnities to be adopted in consequence of the treaty of Lunneville."
June 19.
Yesterday afternoon we received, by express, the Paris journals to the 16th inst.—The Clef du Cabinet of the 15th states, on the authority of a letter from Spain, on the Spanish frontiers, that Peace has been concluded between Spain and Portugal; and that Lucien Buonaparte is gone to Badajos, to sign the treaty on the part of the French Republic. No official communication of this event has yet been made, either in the Moneur , or through any other authentic channel; but the statement is so much favoured by probability, that little doubt can be entertained upon the subject. At least, it must very soon be under that necessity, to the material injury of the commerce and revenue of her old and faith ally.—The Anion frigate failed from Portsmouth for Lisbon on Tuesday, with 150,000l. in specie, being one half of the subsidy lately voted by the British Parliament to the government of Portugal. It is probable, however, that should the fate of Portugal be really decided before her arrival, (which there is too much reason to believe will prove to be the case) the capt. will have received the necessary intimation, so as to prevent the treasure intrusted to his care from falling into the hands of the enemy.
The Paris papers contain no other intelligence that can be considered as important. Pacific arrangements between the French republic and the Ottoman Porte are still reported to be on the Tapis; but there is no news relative to Egypt that is in any respect worthy of notice. The Prussians have not yet manifested any disposition to evacuate the Hanoverian territory.
The journals were brought to Dover in a flag of truce, by which some farther despatches were received by M. Otto. A flag of truce failed for Calais yesterday morning; and the most active intercourse is now kept up between the two countries.
The arrival of the India army at Suez was again reported yesterday. The intelligence is now said to have come from Lord Keith, via Constantinople, and to be dated the 3d ult.
The division of the Brest fleet, which has been for some time lying in the outer road ready for sea, has been joined by several ships from the inner harbor.
The arrangements relative to the termination of the present session of parliament have undergone another change. The commons are to adjourn on the 25th to the 27th, when both houses will be prorogued.
Letters were yesterday received at the admiralty from capt. Newman, of his majesty's frigate La Loire , containing an account of a second attack having been made by the small squadron under his command, upon the enemy's force at Havre. This attack was planned and conducted by capt. Wight of the Wolverine , which vessel greatly distinguished herself on the occasion. The affair lasted upwards of an hour, and ended in the French force being obliged to take shelter under the guns of the harbor.
PARIS, June 15.
The positions of the army of Observation, commanded by gen. Kleist, are still the same, and no movement indicates that it is intended to evacuate the electorate of Hanover; we are assured that after the grand review at Magdeburg, there will arrive some regiments on the Weser; this much is certain, that subsistence continues to be collected at that point.
The treaty of peace concluded at Lunneville has been officially published with great pomp.

CARLSCRONA, May 24.
The following letter to admiral Cronstadt, commander in chief of the Swedish fleet, was to-day received by a flag of Truce from admiral Nelson.
St George, at sea, May 23, 1801.
Sir,
In the correspondence which your excellency had with the late commander in chief of the British fleet in the Baltic, who notified to you that the Swedish fleet in the Categat and the Baltic should not be molested by the British cruizers, I find no counter-declaration to the same tenor on the part of Sweden.
I must therefore request of your excellency an explicit declaration that the trade of Great-Britain in the Categat, and the Baltic, shall in no manner be molested by Sweden. Your excellency will perceive the necessity of such a reciprocal declaration. I am, with the utmost respect, your Excellency's most obedient servant,
NELSON AND BRONTE.
To this the following answer was returned:—
Carlscrona, May 24.
Admiral—I had to day the honour to receive your Excellency's letter of the 23d instant. As my instructions do not permit me to issue any orders relative to the conduct to be pursued with respect to the trade of Great-Britain, I shall transmit the letter of your Excellency to the King my Master, and when I receive the commands of his Majesty on the subject, shall immediately have the honor to communicate to you an official answer.
I remain, with the utmost esteem,
CRONSTADT.
An extra post from Stockholm, of the 20th, however, bringing the Royal Ordinance relative to the English trade, the cutter Hoff was immediately dispatched with a flag of truce, and the following letter was sent to Lord Nelson:
Carlscrona, May 24.
Admiral—I have at this moment received the order of the king my master for taking off the embargo on the trade and navigation to England, a copy of which I herewith transmit to your excellency. I have lost no time in making this communication to your excellency, as your excellency in your letter of yesterday requested it from me, and as I am now enabled, according to my promise, to return you an official answer. I am, &c.
CRONSTADT.
PHILADELPHIA, August 8.
We have just been favoured by a gentleman of this city, with the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29th May, which contains the following late and interesting particulars from Egypt:
GIBRALTER, May 29.
Yesterday morning arrived His Majesty's cutter Swift , commanded by lieut. Saunders, from Alexandria in 34 days, 16 guns and 46 men. Captain Provost, commanding his Majesty's prison ship, Aurora , came passenger in the cutter. From these officers we learn that the British army in Egypt are in high health, and spirits; and that 700 men of those who had been wounded in the battle of the 21st March, had returned to their duty. That affair may be considered as decisive, the French not having engaged in any general action since their defeat. Roletta and Damietta have been taken by the British forces; 4000 of whom, together with 10,000 Turks under the Grand Vizer, had proceeded to the attack of Rhamanie which was garrisoned by 4000 French, and was not expected to make any considerable resistance. The loss of Rhamanie will cut off all communications between Alexandria, Cairo and the country, and complete the investiture of Alexandria.
The Bombay Army commanded by Lt. Gen. Craig, consisting of 10,000 men, British and Sepoys, (the finest troops in the world for that country,) had landed at Suez, whither they had been conducted by a powerful Naval force under Admiral Blanket.
The 22d of April, Sir John Borlase Warren, had effected his junction with Lord Keith, who, being also reinforced by the captain Pacha with 8 sail of the line, had altogether 17 line of Battle Ships with him before Alexandria, and one in Aboukir Bay. Sir Sidney Smith had proceeded up the Nile with a number of Albans, and the English gun boats. The French gun boats had retreated before them to Grand Cairo.
The whole French force is supposed to amount to 8000 men, who are very much dissatisfied.
The British army are most plentifully supplied with all kinds of provisions; and the wounded General Officers are recovering fast except General Moore, whose wound in the leg continued so troublesome, that it was apprehended he must go to Malta till he gets well.
On Monday last 68 prisoners of war, belonging to various English privateers, which had been captured and carried into Spanish ports, arrived in the garrison. They bring us the following information, the truth of which has since been confirmed: "On the 7th inst. his majesty's brig of war Speedy , commanded by lord Cochrane, fell in with some Spanish vessels under convoy of his Catholic majesty's xebec El Gamo , of 258 men, and 36 guns. The Speedy captured 9 ships of the convoy; and after having sent men on board each of the prizes, there remained only 25 men out of seventy, her original compliment—the carries 14 four pounders. In this situation she was chased by the xebec, which gained upon her rapidly, until at last the Speedy found it impossible to escape; but her brave commander was resolved, she should not be a cheap conquest. Accordingly a warm action commenced, which however did not last long, as the Xebec after having lost some of her hands, surrendered to the Speedy , and was taken by her, along with the other prizes, and prisoners, into Mahon Harbour."
[It will be recollected, that our last information relative to the operations in Egypt was from lord Elgin, at Constantinople, down to the 22d of April. The foregoing, beside being more direct and circumstantial, brings our advices to the 25th, which is three days later.—The junction of Admiral Warren with Lord Keith, destroys even the faint hope that has hitherto been entertained of the French gaining reinforcements. The fate of Egypt is therefore perhaps no longer doubtful.—The report of the capture of 22 sail of transports by Lord Keith probably originated in the circumstance of the gallant capture by the Speedy mentioned in the foregoing.]

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12.
Celebration of the 4th of July at Fayal.
A letter from Fayal to a gentleman in New-York, mentions, that in honor of the Anniversary of American Independence, the American Consul at that place, gave a most elegant entertainment to upwards of 50 ladies and gentlemen; at which were present, the Governor all the principal people of the island. The American colours were hoisted on the forts, and at the Consul's country house; which stands on the side of a high mountain, where they have a fine view of the town and harbor. In the evening there was a splendid ball.
A singular accident lately occurred at Salem, N. H. As several persons were running horses, two good horses running in different directions, at full speed, met, and killed each other in an instant. The necks of both horses were broken. The riders were taken up for dead, but soon revived. They were living on Saturday, and although both are badly wounded, it is expected they will recover.
