French Tuition, UPON AN ANALYTICAL PLAN. NICHOLAS GOUIN DUFIEF, Professor of the French Language, HAS the honor of informing his Fellow-Citizens of Philadelphia, that he will open his School on Monday the 14th of September, at No. 5, South Fifth street, and divide his hours of instruction in the following manner. Attendance on Ladies and Gentlemen, at their own houses, will be given as usual, from 9 o'clock in the morning till 2 in the afternoon. His afternoon and evening School will begin (every other day) from 4 to 6, and from 6 till 9. Translations from either language into the other, performed with accuracy, elegance, secrecy and dispatch. N. B.—NICHOLAS G. DUFIEF, respectfully invites the Ladies and Gentlemen, ambitious to learn the French, to agree with some of their friends or acquaintances, desirous of receiving lessons in that universal and improved language, to meet at the same hour and place for mutual instruction—they may be assured it will be to their advantage to do so, if they persevere with attention the following. To the Lovers of the French Language. ADDRESS.
IN an age when successful efforts have been made towards the improvement of the art of Thinking, and when Analysis has been discovered the universal, and sole good method to improve all sciences, and receive instruction in them, it may be a matter of astonishment that it has not been yet generally embraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning. The extraordinary rise and progress of Chemistry within a very few years, is entirely due to analysis, but renders an error which it should have had dated its beneficial rays, I allude to the Teaching of Languages. In fact, Nature, this excellent analyst, was before our eyes guiding children in learning the language of their mother, and no child ever failed in acquiring it, proving surprisingly by her unerring lessons—Fully convinced by reason and experience, that the same method she pursues should be followed as nearly as possible, I adopted, in the course of my instructions, such books established on principles that I have deviated from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was but a very irregular and imperfect Analysis—therefore, resolved though with a very small confidence in my slender abilities, but animated with zeal or the improvement of those who may wish to learn French on me, to undertake the laborious and arduous task of writing a work grounded on Analytical principles, which might comprehend what is wished for by those applying themselves to the study of the living languages, and am happy to say, I have now nearly concluded it. It consists of three parts. The first, is a chosen Vocabulary of words most frequently used in speech, containing 2,500—the most natural acceptance of each is determined by a phrase prefixed to it. The second, contains the French verbs, both regular and irregular, from a new system in which the principal difficulties attending conjugation are first explained, and observations given on the use of each tense, illustrated by proper examples, so as to enable the learner to express himself with precision. The third, is a complete list of those words foreign to him or de complement de la langue, which are necessary to the link or completion of sense between the other parts of speech, whose principal use is to establish in speech that connection between words, which already exists in the mind between ideas. I have also fully determined the sense and acceptance of these important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each examples in French and English. As I do not intend to publish the above, for some time, and in order, nevertheless, that my pupils may reap the same advantage without it, I hasten to inform those who may be induced to put themselves under my care, that half the time of school (the other half being devoted to other exercises) will be employed in exercising them in the following manner:— We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word of which will be pronounced in English then in French, to be repeated by one or more of the scholars; and a familiar repetition of the phrases before mentioned will follow. It is worthy of observation, that in our infancy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pronunciation of our vernacular tongue, by pronouncing word by word; and Analysis accomplishes what remains to be done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Gramarians to attain this object are almost useless to us, and still more so to the foreigners, struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation of a language with the help of dictionaries and Grammar alone. Though I conceive my scholars may attain in the above manner, the accurate pronunciation of the French language, yet strict attention is paid to their reading in approved authors before we begin the foregoing exercises. I will pursue nearly the same method in imparting to them the contents of the two other divisions of my work. I cannot conclude this address without thanking my Fellow-Citizens for the liberal encouragement I have experienced from them, these six years past, in my professional career, promising that I may be permitted to say, that I have not been altogether undeserving of it. September 1.
Candidates for the Navy. AND others, who are desirous of becoming acquainted with the following very essential improvements in Navigation, viz.—The method of finding the Latitude by a single altitude of the sun at any hour of the day; and of ascertaining both Latitude and Longitude at once by a Celestial observation, the Lunar, and new forms of journals for ships of war, with additional columns, may hear of a person ready to instruct them at their apartments, who has compends of the above so simplified by explanations of figures, marginal references, &c. that they may be understood in a few days; by applying at No. 93, South Second-street, opposite the City Tavern. He engages to teach Navigation (the common method of keeping a journal at sea) in 6 days. He has taught the Mathematics, French language, &c. for many years in different universities, and ships of war, to which he has been regularly appointed—He has also had considerable practical experience in surveying and book-keeping; in which he gives private lectures. His terms are low and accommodating. He will open A Marine and Commercial ACADEMY, On Monday the 8th of September, at an elegant and spacious Room in Harmony Court, (opposite No. 74, South Fourth-street.) The business of an Agent and Interpreter faithfully transacted. August 25.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN's Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a daily use of this salutary remedy, has under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN's Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight. Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck. Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed. SOLD BY WM. Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where also may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c. Refractory Drops, Essence and Extract of Mustard, Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, Dr. Hahn's infallible German Corn Plaster, Indian Vegetable Specific for the Venereal complaint, Gowland's and Persian Lotion, Refractory Tooth Powder, Damask Lip Salve, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills, &c. &c.

Late FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. CONTINUED.
LONDON, July 28.
A ridiculous account is published in some of the papers, that at the battle of Marengo, the two armies were about the number, 25,000 each. Is it possible that any body can give out such nonsense as true? The corps of the Imperial army which blockaded Genoa was, according to every account, about 15,000 men.
We have authority to state that the reports, contained in the papers yesterday of an EMBARGO being imposed on the Danish ships in the ports of Great-Britain, and of the detention of the Russian ships at Yarmouth, are entirely destitute of foundation.
The Americans in Paris met on the 4th July to celebrate the anniversary of the Independence of the United States. At this meeting many toasts were given in honor of the invincible French armies and the speedy re-establishment of good harmony between the two republics.
The Americans viewed with much emotion Gen. La Fayette who was present, and who so powerfully contributed to the establishment of their independence.
Admiral De Winter has arrived at Paris from Holland.
August 1.
Russians and Danes.
It is said the Emperor of Russia has refused to admit to a private audience the Danish Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary.
Buonaparte has declared that he will accept of no recompense, while in his present situation, nor for one year afterwards.
Buonaparte has broken Letour Frisac, (who surrendered Mantua to the Austrians) without a Court Martial, agreeably to modern republican principles.
August 4.
Quiberon Expedition.
Several of the line have quitted Quiberon-Bay, and joined the Grand Fleet off Ushant. Sir Ed. Pellew with a small squadron is still off Belle Isle; but hourly expecting orders to return to England, with the land forces, the expedition against Belle Isle being, for the present laid aside, if not entirely abandoned.

LEGHORN, June 28. On the 25th instant admiral lord Keith arrived here with several English ships of war, and 20 transports, on board of which are Austrian troops.
HAMBURGH, July 7.
Count Munster Meinshof had his name erased from the list of the Knights of the Prussian order of the Red Eagle, conferred on him in 1796, and the strictest orders have been given to arrest him as soon as he should enter the Prussian dominions.

NEW YORK, September 16.
INFORMATION.
A gentleman lately from Ulster county, brings us the following very curious and interesting information, that about twelve or thirteen miles to the west of New Burg, a Dutchman, by the name of Maltren, was lately digging for marle on a low piece of ground, where this manure is generally and plentifully found in the neighbouring country.
This is the seventh or eighth skeleton already discovered within the vicinity of 8 miles, from a common centre, since the citizens of that country have been in the habits of draining these places for manure, which has not been customary but a few years.
Last evening arrived here the fast sailing ship Fanny, Captain Braine, in thirty-five days from Greenock, belonging to Mr. Thomas Buchanan, with a full and valuable cargo.
As yet we have only been able to lay our hands on papers to the 6th of August which do not contain later news than we have already had by way of Boston.
A Glasgow paper of the 5th August, advertises for N. York, the ship Russel to sail the 7th of that month; the brig Trio, the 26th; the ship Huron, the 11th, and the Amsterdam Packet, the 1st.
Passengers in the Fanny; Messrs. Mitchell and Servant; James Scott, John Morrison, Andrew Hosie and twenty-five in the steerage.

Federal Meetings.
WE a Committee of Conference, convened at Norristown, Montgomery county, on Friday the 12th instant, for the purpose of selecting a suitable person to fill the office of State Senator for the District composed of the counties of Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester, unanimously agreed to support JOHN HULME, of Bucks county, for said office.
(Signed) JOHN JONES, Chairman. (Attest) THOMAS JENKS, Sec'y.
Norristown, September 12, 1800. William Maghee Thomas Jenks Samuel Sellers Committee for Bucks county. John Jones Henry Pawling Seth Chapman Committee for Montgomery county. Joseph M'Clellen Thomas Bull Isaac Wayne Committee for Chester county.
AT a meeting of the Inhabitants of the County of Gloucester, at the Court-House in Woodbury, pursuant to Public Notice given for that purpose, on the 11th day of September, 1800.
James Hopkins, Esq. was chosen Chairman, and Joseph Griffith, Secretary.
THE Committee appointed on the 9th of August last, to prepare an Address to the Inhabitants of this County, expressive of the sentiments of said meeting, having made report, which being read, was unanimously adopted.
The meeting being informed that there are six Federal Candidates in nomination for the General Assembly, to be voted for at the ensuing Election; and deliberately considering the importance of union as well as perseverance among the Federalists of the County, do agree—that a committee of two persons from each Township be appointed, who shall have full power and authority to select from the six Federal Candidates, such three persons whom in their opinion they would recommend to the Inhabitants of this County, as the most proper characters to unite the people thereof, and to secure to us a federal representation.
A committee was accordingly appointed, who having retired, some time after returned, and made the following Report:—
The Committee having taken into consideration the list of nomination of Candidates to be voted for at the ensuing Election, do report unanimously—That in their opinion the following Ticket will be most likely to unite the Federal interest in this County:—
Counsellors. Thomas Clark. Assembly. Samuel W. Harrison, Abel Clement, Samuel French. Sheriff. Joseph Hugg. Censors. John Piffant, Duncan Campbell, Micajah Clement.
"The said committee do therefore recommend the above Ticket to their fellow citizens."
DAVID DAVIS, Chairman.
Which being read, was unanimously adopted.
Whereupon—Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, it is the real interest; and they take it to be the duty of all good men in the county of Gloucester, to come forward and give their aid and support to the foregoing Ticket, as being the one best calculated to preserve unto us the inestimable blessings of peace, order, and good government, and a continuance of our present excellent Federal Constitution.
Resolved, That we do absolutely disavow the principles contained in certain publications of James Sloan and Jeremiah Wood, wherein they declare—That a change of government, a change of Men, and a change of Measures ought to take place.
Resolved, That two hundred copies of the proceedings be printed in hand-bills, and the same be published in the "Trenton Federalist," and "The Gazette of the United States."
JAMES HOPKINS, Chairman. JOSEPH GRIFFITH, Sec'y.
To the Electors of the City and County of Philadelphia.
GENTLEMEN, When the present Sheriff's time of office expires, I take the liberty to offer myself as a candidate for said office, and solicit your votes in my favour; in doing which you will confer an obligation, which will be gratefully acknowledged by the public's assured friend and humble servant.

THE GRAND QUESTION STATED.
At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be asked by every American, laying his hand on his heart, is, "shall I continue in allegiance to GOD—AND A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT;
Or impiously declare for JEFFERSON—AND NO GOD !!!"
To Readers and Correspondents.
The witty and ingenious article, "a new Chapter of the Chronicles" is an admirable imitation of the Oriental style.
Seldom have we had occasion to approve a more true, forcible and well reasoned Essay, than that of "VERUS" on the subject of "the American Commissioners at Paris."
The Medical Essay, even if it be signed by the odd and unlucky word, "Contagion," shall be inserted. The author never reasons more sensibly, than when he combats that windmill doctrine of the domestic origin of "the Yellow Fever."
"ANGLO" is a very harsh and puritanic writer. We do not wish to give currency to such bitter invective against lovely woman.
"Lord Angelo" is precise, Stands at a guard with envy, scarce confesses That his blood flows, or that his appetite Is more to bread than floue."
The different gay and sportive writers, who furnish us with witty ode and epigram at the expence of some of the more notorious Jacobins, are entitled to our particular thanks.
"Who'er offends at some unlucky time Slides into verse, or hitches in a rhyme Sacred to ridicule, his whole life long, And the sad burden of some merry song."
"DICK VULCAN" is an ingenious artificer, his forge is well constructed, and he burns his very brightly.
The neat and succinct writer of an Essay in defence of Mr. ABERCROMBIE's Sermon is engaged in an honourable service, and will receive the commendation of all good men.
A "Refutation of Aurora Lies," respecting the conduct and character of Mr. ABERCROMBIE will shortly appear.
A nervous Essay, respecting a late Sermon and the consequent defamation of the Preacher by the Jacobins will be published in a few days.
THE CLERGY. Versus JEFFERSON.
WHAT a coil is here about the conduct of a certain Clergyman! He has, it seems, terribly offended those who chance to hold opposite opinions in politics.
Has he betrayed any confidence? Abused any trust? defrauded any one of property, or reputation? Has he denied the truth of the doctrines, which he has undertaken to teach?
If these have been his crimes woe betide him. He will deserve to be publicly degraded from his office, and consigned to the chastizing hand of his God, and his conscience.
Why truly he has ventured to dissuade his hearers from exalting to the highest office in the state, a man who is without religion.
We are soon tired of wind-ring at the inconsistencies of prejudice, and passion. For my own part I am not surprised at anything under this sun.
For instance, I am not surprised that a Clergyman should be reviled for discharging one of his most sacred duties, when his efforts happen to disavow our own cause.
What! a Clergyman tell me, from the very pulpit, that religion is a practical thing, a law to govern us in all our actions: to make us good parents, good children, good husbands, good neighbours, and above all, good citizens!
All my resentment is awakened at such absurd, such profane conduct. I feel an ardent zeal to defend the pulpit from doctrines so unsuitable to it, the sacred fold from such wolfish intrusion.
The house of preaching and of prayer, Into a Coffee house or Fare.
Such is the colour of that film, with which self-interest has vied my vision that to exercise the lawful privilege of chusing him who should rule over me, is the same thing with kicking a Constable who attempts to arrest me as a rioter;
I am not satisfied unless he who puts on the clerical gown, puts off, likewise, the man and the citizen, perhaps, indeed, as I have no interest in his silence, on the duties of husbands, and fathers, I shall not care how much he prates about them, but when he lifts his eye to an higher scene, and talks

about the consequences that may flow, to my own present, and future happiness, and that of others, from the conduct I shall adopt as a citizen, and the duties that rise out of the foresight of these consequences, and which derive, more than all other duties, their obligations from religion; why then all my fury is in arms, and inasmuch as he is the most formidable enemy to my success, I compensate him with the largest portion of my hatred.
Thus passion turns, in her best-making school, Man to a purlind bat, or head-strong mule. Such a one, I question not, should I be, when subject to the like influence, and if in the present case, my conclusions are neither cattish nor mulish , it is because the cause before the public has no connection, with either my interests or my passions, and because I am a mere
LOOKER-ON.
A certain great man who likes to monopolize all the street to himself, one day met an Oystermer of Democratic hue, who was not disposed to indulge this pretended prerogative, when the following incidents occurred.
AN Oystermer bawling, met his Honour so wife, In the street near the State House one day. The Chief star'd at other with maniac's eyes And darted the frown of conceit and surprise, Saying—"Sirrah! get out of my way!"
The D---l I will said the Oystermer bold, And the Barrow ran foul of his leg, The Chief being tortur'd, cry'd, "hold! mon-ster hold! For twenty short minutes can scarcely be told Ere forgiveness from me you shall beg!"
"The law I'll interpret to favor myself For Ch-f-f J- - - - am I of the State, I'll make that law bend to punish an elf If I part with my office, or sink all my pel!"— And then hammer'd a cane on his pate.
"Och Honey! Oh Paddy Whack! strike while you can 'Till I take off this flap" said the fellow, "By St. Patrick I think, that I am the man What don't mind such a Turkey Cock Juf--e a damn; I'll beat 'ill your honour shall bellow."
The Chief was dismay'd, and in his affright, Sobb'd "let me—dear Sir—let me go— All your Oysters I'll buy, on this very night I never was seen in public to-night Since an Officer I,—was long—ago—ho—ho!"
The Oystermer said "then gam'me a treat For the blows they crack'd hard on my crown." "Come home" (said Judge Jeffry's) we'll sit feet to feet, You shall drink of my whiskey,—partake of my meat, And Cocksey will be before sun down."
To his Honor's they potted—the oysters were roasted; Some were try'd—others brought in a sauce-boat. Then his prospect of governing shortly, was boasted,— And afterwards "all honest oystermer" toasted, Saying "pray Sir will you give me your vote?"
"My vote! no honey, your whiskey is good, Which I drank by the way o' satisfaction, Else a strong Oak thelah, made o' hickory wood, Instead of the oysters and old whiskey would Have wrought in you this stupfaction."
Away went the oystermer, wheeling his barrow, The Chief reced back to the table— Which he turned up with glasses and chairs like a harrow, Knocked the skin off his shins that had long wanted marrow, Crying "Damme—I'll live while I'm able."
For the 48 hours, preceding Monday morning sun-rise, there were 55 deaths in Baltimore and its vicinity; there was then 71 in the Hospital, 7 convalescents, and 4 had been discharged, cured.
The Baltimore Board of Health, earnestly solicit Donations for the support of the sick and poor: they have confined their address to the inhabitants of that city and neighborhood; but we doubt not that the liberal hand of Charity extended from Philadelphia, would be acceptable; and we could not evince our gratitude, for the health we enjoy, in a more suitable manner, than by contributing to the relief of those unfortunate people, who are labouring under a dreadful calamity.
At a court of Oyer and Terminer, held at Carlisle, for Cumberland county, September 6, John M'Alister, and William M'Alister, were tried for the murder of Castar, a negro man, belonging to John M'Alister, on the 14th of April last.
It appears from the evidence on the trial, that the negro was suspected of stealing, in consequence of which they tied a rope round his neck, and dragged him by it, beating him at the same time with hickory sticks and a loaded horse-whip. The whole proceeding was marked with a great deal of barbarity; the consequence was the negro died in about two hours: the men have been found guilty of murder, and have been sentenced to five years confinement in the Goal and Penitentiary house of Philadelphia; six months of the time to be kept in solitude, and the residue at hard labour.
The youngest of these men is above fifty years of age. The Judge admonished them in the most solemn manner to repentance for so great a crime. He mentioned that it was most probable the Jury would be justified in finding their offence murder in the first degree.
We hear that there is no person at present sick on board of the Warren sloop of war,

It is no matter of surprise to see to many Jacobins-hankering after the office of Sheriff. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS is no "small balance" for a Pennsylvania State Officer, to retain "unaccounted for," when his term of service expires.
Duane has been attending the Jacobin meetings in different parts of the State. At one held in Bucks county, a Resolution of Thanks, was passed, for his attendance and valuable communications, &c. That Duane should be there, is natural, and he will go wherever the whisky circulates; but what were the valuable communications; perhaps he was deputed purse holder on this occasion, from some of the Jacobin committees, and a little of the Rhino , for electioneering purposes, as indeed a valuable communication to these men.
Last Thursday evening about the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, as a young gentleman was returning from New York to his country retreat, he was stopped at the cross road near Byard's Lane by a foot pad, armed with a club and pistol, who made a demand of his money, and on being refused immediately took from under his coat a pistol, and said "Do you see this."—Upon which the gentleman drew from his pocket a carpenter's rule, and presented at the cowardly assassin, exclaiming "do you see this;" which from the vehemence of the voice and taking the rule for a pistol, so frightened the culprit that he instantly took to his heels and was soon out of sight. He was a middle sized man, dressed in a short blue jacket and trowlers.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Halifax, to the Editor of the Baltimore Telegraph, dated September 3, 1800. "It was this day spoken here, and generally credited, that orders had been sent from the court of Britain, to capture all American vessels, trading to an enemy's port."

Extract of a letter from Norfolk, to a gentleman in New-York, dated September 6.
"I suspect you will be without the HERALD this day, as the sickness prevails very much in the Printing Office. There have been upwards of 105 new cases for the last 4 days, and I suspect upwards of 24 or 26 deaths."
"Request you to get the following statement published, of an unfortunate affair which took place lately in the adjoining State. "We yesterday learnt the disagreeable news of the death of Dr. Rameke, of Edenton, which is as follows: Dr. Rameke has been a long time at variance with Dr. Ryan Butler, of Kempville. They met near Edenton, and exchanged three shots; when the Magistrate interfered and put an end to the business. On Thursday last they met again on the line which separates Virginia from Carolina, and again exchanged three shots; when the last of Dr. Rameke's shots entered the thigh of Dr. Butler and broke it, the business then ended. Dr. Rameke went home and sat up greatest part of the night with some friends; in the morning he arose, dressed himself, and ordered his servant to saddle his horse, as he was on a ride out. When the servant was gone, he went into a small room adjoining his shop, and put a pistol to each of his temples, and blew his brains out—thus ended Dr. Rameke."

Vice Consulsship of Spain for the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Messrs. Nicholas Johnston and Co. Gentlemen,
His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel Don Vincentes Folch, Governor of the Province of West Florida, in a letter, dated Panzacola, 1st August, has been pleased to communicate to me the following:
"I have issued a proclamation, offering FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS to any person who will deliver here, or in Apalachicola, the body of WILLIAM AUGUSTUS BOWLES, or else produce sufficient proof of having killed him; which information I will thank you to make public, in order that some clever fellow, at the cheap rate of one gun shot, will place in his pocket the said sum, which shall be paid, with the greatest acknowledgment of gratitude, in good Spanish dollars, without the least delay."
Therefore I request you to give this a conspicuous place in your paper. It is, doubtless, a very interesting subject to Spain, America, and the Indians, that they be rid of this noted vagabond.
I am, with respect, Your obedient servant, EMANUEL RENNILL. Savannah, 25th August, 1800.

Admiral Parker has arrived from England. A change is expected in the admiralty Court. A regiment of troops have arrived—two are to go from hence for England. An expedition from England against Guadalupe is thought to be in contemplation. At the time of Admiral Parker's sailing from England, there was no rumour nor expectation of a war with the United States, which has been so much talked of here.

A writer in the Aurora complains that the poor people of England do not yet pay enough for the bread we send them, altho' it is not riotous that rebel the peace prices have been received for a great portion of the late shipments, what an unconscionable villain must he be who can thus taunt over the miseries of mankind, he further says that the British government, do not comply with their engagements respecting the additional bounty in certain stipulated cases, this is so barefaced a lie that it needs nothing in answer. Neither the government of Great Britain or indeed any other power would dare to trifle with their sole dependence for bread in time of great scarcity for fear of future famine.
