The subscriber having frequently heard complaints of the want of accuracy in the price current of public stock, has concluded to furnish the Gazette of the United States, occasionally (if called for) with what may in his opinion be considered the Market Prices of Stock, and the Rates of Exchange. M. M'CONNELL, Chesnut street, No. 143.
The useful reading of the Editor of the Walpole paper has furnished him with the following sensible extract, which we will insert together with his sensible commentary "In the life of AKENSIDE, JOHNSON has given a faithful and correct delineation of a modern democrat—" He certainly retained an unnecessary and outrageous zeal for what he called, and thought Liberty! a zeal, which sometimes disguises from the world, and not rarely from the mind, which it possesses, an envious desire of plundering wealth or degrading greatness; and of which the immediate tendency is innovation and anarchy, an impetuous eagerness to subvert and confound with very little care what shall be established—a more perfect portrait of a Jacobin disorganizer of the present day, can not possibly be drawn than is contained in the above sketch of the character of Akenside."
It is a fact that the unprincipled CHARLES FOX, whom the silly dotts of American Democracy are so much in the habit of admiring, did, when in power and colleague with Lord North, declare that "the Prop he had no voice, except within the walls of St. Stephen's Chapel." From venal and French motives he is now a bellower for reform and the misguided people, now believe and call him their friend!! Truly, he is a good Patriot, closely resembling rogues of the same patriotic description that we are cursed with in America. But surely John Hancock and Sam Adams are not of the number.
On Saturday last, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the Corner Stone of the permanent Bridge on Schuylkill was laid with the usual formalities, in the presence of the President and Directors of the bridge company—the Mayor, Aldermen, and Members of the Select and Common Councils of the city of Philadelphia, and a number of other Citizens; after which the company partook of a cold collation which had been prepared for the occasion. On the foundation stone the initials of the following words are inscribed: "The first Stone of the Schuylkill permanent Bridge was laid October 18, 1808, by John Lewis, Mason."
The tremendous gale which blew yesterday, we apprehend has done considerable damage. The bridge at Neshannany, and those across the Schuylkill, it is said, have been carried away.
General C. C. Pinckney is proposed in the Charleston papers, as a Senator of the United States.
A Wilmington Editor says, we have received returns, which we believe to be correct, from all the counties in Maryland except Allegany. The Members of the State Legislature stand thus—Federal, 32—Republican, 44.
Major Thomas Pinckney declines being a candidate to represent the district of Charleston in the next Congress of the United States. The moderate sum expended on Mr. Jay's Mission to England would form a striking contrast with those of the two Missions to France, exclusive of Monroe's. But France is a dear sister Republic, and "that accounts for it." For the 24 hours preceding Wednesday morning, sun-rise, there were 6 deaths in Baltimore and its vicinity.
A correspondent wishes to be informed whether, when James Sloan of Gloucester County attended the Slab-town meeting, in Burlington County, his object was to solicit the military Hero (Chairman of the said Slab-town meeting) to take command of the twenty thousand Frenchmen, whose bayonets only, he says, can open our eyes to see what true liberty is. A friend to the General.
No news has been received by the vessel arrived at Portland, from Liverpool, in a short passage. Captain Wakefield, arrived at Norfolk the 9th inst. from Havana in 19 days, informs, that an EMBARGO was laid on at the Havana, in consequence of the intended sailing of some line of battle ships with money for Spain. The Schooner Hannah, captain Peck, has put into Havana, in distress, whilst on her passage from Jamaica to Norfolk.
From Captain Daly of the ship Fabius, from Rio Janeiro, we learn that the two French frigates which sailed from La Plata, had captured a ship from Portsmouth, N.H. and a Schooner from Boston, both with valuable cargoes, and bound to La Plata; that they afterwards fell in with a British 64, having several outward bound Indianmen under her convoy, and were both captured and brought into Rio Janeiro, previous to the Fabius' leaving that port. They had a considerable sum in specie on board.
Captain Fryer, From St. Kitts, arrived at Norfolk, informs, that the day before he arrived at St. Kitts, a vessel came up from Curacoa, having two gentlemen on board, with a petition to Commodore Decatur, of the Philadelphia frigate; the purport of which was to claim assistance and protection for American property in that island; not finding the Commodore there, they consulted the agent and Captains of the United States ships of war there; and two frigates sailed from Old Roads on the 15th September for that purpose; and the Schooner that brought the petition failed in search of the Commodore. The gentlemen from Curacoa, informed that fifteen or sixteen sail of privateers, with between 800 and 1000 soldiers had gone down from Guadalupe, that the troops had been landed on the fourth side of Curacoa, and obtained possession of a small fort.
The Schooner Razor, Johnston, was at St. Thomas's. The brig Two Brothers, Griffiths, was at Nevis.
Directions for Mariners. Mr. Wm. Lord of Stonington-point, has erected an Iron Spear about 13 feet long, with a white vane on the top, upon the rock of Lattimer, in Fishers Island Sound. The deeped channel is to the northward of the rock. This gentleman has it in contemplation if suitable encouragement should be given by gentlemen from the eastward, and westward, who are owners of navigation, and are constantly passing the sound, to erect a spear upon what is called the Tail of Watch-hill-reef; another upon Katumfack rock, upon the same reef; one upon Ellis's reef which lies off Rams-Island and is almost in the middle of the sound. These rocks are seldom any of them out of water, and much in the way of coarsers up and down the sound, who are unacquainted.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in St. Thomas's to his friend in Norfolk, received by captain Fryer. "Since my departure from Guadalupe, I was drove into St. Martins, a French port, by an English frigate. I was from St. Bartholomews, in a weedish Schooner bound to this place. I was there treated very politely, and saw there Gen. Rigaud from St. Domingo. A cartel was waiting for him from Guadalupe, from which place he was to embark in a Schooner for France."
DIED—on Saturday evening last, in the 86th year of his age, PETER REEVE, the oldest Sea Captain belonging to the Port of Philadelphia. He was a native of Whitby in Great Britain, and came to this city in the year 1720, from which he failed many years. In his more advanced age he retired from this active scene of life, and devoted his time to the service of several useful and public institutions, in which he acquitted himself to the great satisfaction of his fellow citizens who preferred him to these appointments. His attachment to good order in government was obvious to all his acquaintance, and his zeal to support it was manifested, by his constant attendance at our annual elections, at which he is known to have voted fifty-five times. On the 16th instant at Baltimore, Maryland, in his 28th year, Philip Edwards, Esq. Lieutenant of Marines, and late Editor and Proprietor of the Maryland Journal.
From a Bassetterre Paper received by capt. Fryer, Arrived at Norfolk. BASSETTERRE, Sept. 9, 1800.

Also was sent in the ship Seahorse, re-captured by the U. S. frigate John Adams, George Cro's, Esq. commander, with a cargo of fish, lumber, beef, &c. &c.
A Proclamation. Pennsylvania, ss. IN THE NAME And by the authority of the Commonwealth OF PENNSYLVANIA. By THOMAS M'KEAN, GOVERNOR Of the said Commonwealth,
WHEREAS it is declared by the Constitution of the United States, that, for the purpose of electing a President and Vice-President, "Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of Electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives, to which the said state may be entitled in Congress." And whereas the Legislature of Pennsylvania has omitted to direct the manner in which this state shall appoint the Electors of a President and Vice-President; to be chosen at the next ensuing election for that purpose to be holden: and the ordinary period prescribed by the Constitution of this Commonwealth, for the annual session of the General Assembly will not arrive until the said next ensuing election of a President and Vice-President has been holden and completed, conformably to the Constitution and Laws of the United States: And whereas it is incumbent on the Executive Magistrate of this Commonwealth, as far as his power and jurisdiction extend, to take care that the Laws be faithfully executed: and more especially, that the Constitution of the United States, as well as of the state, (the supreme laws of the land) be preserved entire and operative in all the provisions thereof: NOW, actuated by motives of official duty, impressed with a just sense of the importance of the object, and desirous to avoid, on my part, every cause of reproach and responsibility, I have deemed it expedient to convene the General Assembly, to the intent, that, on this extraordinary occasion, the Legislature may possess an opportunity of fulfilling its Federal obligations, the state may enjoy its legitimate influence in the Councils of the Union, and the National Government may derive energy and stability, from a regular organization of its departments.
THEREFORE, and by virtue of the authority to me in such case given, in and by the Constitution of the Commonwealth, I have issued this Proclamation, hereby convening the General Assembly, to hold a session on Wednesday the Fifth Day of November next, at the Court House in the borough of Lancaster: And, of which time and place of convening, all persons therein concerned are required to take notice.
GIVEN under my hand, and the Great Seal of the State, at Lancaster, the eighteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred, and of the Commonwealth the twenty-fifth. By the GOVERNOR, A. J. DALLAS, Secretary of the Commonwealth.
HESSIAN FLY. SERIOUSLY ALARMING!
Extract of a letter from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, October 18. "We are very much alarmed for our ensuing crop of wheat, from the Hessian Fly having appeared to a most extraordinary degree amongst what has been early sown. One of my neighbours is ploughing up what he had put in, as it was too much damaged to produce any thing, and means to sow it over again. The dread of this evil induced me to sow so late that I cannot yet tell the fate of mine; a quantity having sprung up early in my stubble field, I have carefully examined it, and find almost every stalk infected with the Fly. I wish my brother farmers would immediately examine their wheat, as it is not yet too late to sow it anew, if what they have already sown appears to be destroyed. One of the best crops I ever had was sown in November. I have sown a strip of rye round my field and a strip across it, which some persons think will prevent the mildew, to which the late sowings are exposed; I think the experiment worth trying, and that there is a probability of its being successful. It may be of use to give this notice immediate and general circulation."

CHARLESTON, October 6.
On Saturday last a gale of wind came on from the South East, which continued to blow throughout the day with some violence, and increased in the evening, (9 o'clock) at high water, when considerable damage was done to a number of the wharves, and the small craft lying at them; twelve or fourteen of the latter were sunk. A Schooner commanded by captain Wyman, with a valuable cargo of dry goods, bound to Georgetown, was driven against the New Aret, formed on East Bay, and was beat to pieces; her cargo is entirely lost. The New Aret has also met with considerable injury. On South Bay, the wharves are much torn up.
At twelve o'clock, or a little after, the gale increased for a few minutes to a species of tornado, and appears to have been most severe in the Northwestern part of the town, and the villages in that quarter, as several houses were blown down and unroofed there. The house of Mr. Christburg, in Cannonburg, was amongst the number, and we are sorry that we have to add, that Mrs. Christburg was killed in her bed, by the fall of the house, and herself and one of his children severely bruised. A number of chimneys were blown down, as well as trees and fences, in other parts of the city.
Apprehensions were entertained through the night, and yesterday morning, for the safety of the families at Sullivan's Island; but we are happy in stating, that the damage there, is very trifling to what might have been expected. The tide was over the greatest part of the island, but only 3 houses were destroyed; these belonged to Colonel Morris, Captain Ormond and Mr. Hunter: their foundations were washed away by the tide. Colonel Morris and his family left his house but a few minutes before it fell. We hear of no personal injury having been sustained on the island.
The shipping at the wharves, and in the stream, have met no damage worth detailing.

The federal Senator had a majority also, but is lost on account of the Counties of Montgomery, and Bucks giving a majority to the Jacobin Candidate.
It is true that the democrats had not a single vote more, on this election, than they had last year, and it is well known that a single week, single week, has not elapsed this six months past, without their having met to digest some plan to insure their success, by publishing inflammatory libelous prices against government striving to fill the minds of the people with fear, and endeavouring to route them to acts of violence against those that holds the reins of government in their hands. It is also well known that on the day of election that every kennel, that every sorry hovel, the habitations of those creatures of filth, was well ranfacked, and that vehicles was prepared at the place of general rendezvous, to convey them to the election, but federalism in Chester County, will ever be prevalent, it will ever triumph, as a majority of the people are sober, wise, and discreet, and are guided by sober reason, and as long as the administration continues to be pure, and uncorrupted to long, and no longer will that County continue to be one of its props, on the day of the election the federalists were too sure of success, by that reason a great number of them laid at home, and unfortunately on the same day, two respectable federalists, one who was in nomination to fill one of the offices of the County interred, at whose funeral, a large concourse of federalists attended, but this election will be a voice of warning to the federalists, it will put them upon their guard, and induce them to turn out on another day.

This is one of the four lower counties mentioned in that Jacobin paper, the Centinel of Freedom, as being united in favor of a Democratic Representation in our Legislature. They have not made a very accurate calculation, as the Federal Ticket has completely succeeded in the three other counties, to wit, Salem, Cumberland and Cape May.
Middlesex, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Burlington, Salem and Cumberland, we have had accounts from; they each fed Federal members in toto. These seven counties insure us Federal Electors; from the other six counties we may rely on three, if not four more, to join the standard of order and good government.

The Legislature of New-Jersey meet on Tuesday the 28th of this month at Trenton. The Electors must be appointed the next or the day following. Let it be impressed upon the minds of members, to be there the Monday before; further arrangements must take place; we have not yet done with the Jacobins. Let us be on the watch.
The meeting of the Jacob's, which was to have been held this month, at Newark, New-Jersey, for the purpose of nominating a Governor, Secretaries, Members of Congress, &c. has been postponed sine die; they whispered to each other in the language of the Indian who was obliged intoxicated a few days before he was to have joined in a solemn duty, "Maffa Bl—d, dat ting, you and I talk of to-morrow day, wont do now."
From Brown & Relf's Philadelphia Gazette
MASRS. BROWN & RELF,
After my publication on the 14 inst. in Mr. Wayne's Gazette it is with reluctance that I again appear in the public prints: But so gross was the insult that I received, from the man who is the subject of the following deposition, and so public was the place where that insult was given, that nothing less than a statement of facts in the most public manner, would do justice to my feelings:—in an altercation which took place between capt. Roger Kean and myself on Tuesday last on the election ground; among other things, he said he could whip me; that I was his inferior and that I was a marine on board the brig Holker. As to the first of his assertions; viz That he could whip me—I have no doubt but he could, when he is sober—but in the battle between us happened when he is in his usual way (I mean drunk) I think that my lameness and his staggering gait, would make us about a dead match. In regard to the second article, that I am or ever was his inferior, I leave it to those who know us both to judge. As to the last assertion, of my being a marine, I refer you gentlemen and the public to the deposition itself: When you come to that part of the deposition which refers to his conduct during the action with the Rodney, you may shrewdly guess that the quantity of English blood he has spilt is not quite so much as the French brandy he has drank in his life time.
I am Gentlemen, With respect &c. MALCOLM M'DONALD.
BE IT KNOWN, that on the 17th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred, personally appeared before me, Robert Wharton, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia, Jacob Grace, an inhabitant of the city aforesaid who being duly sworn, doth depose and say—That he, this deponent, was on board the brig Holker, commanded by captain Matthew Lawler in the month of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty: that he well remembers Malcolm M c Donald coming on board said brig when lay in the river Delaware below Chester, about the beginning of the month above mentioned, who appeared to this deponent to be a youth about eighteen years of age; that on board the brig there were several grades and characters, such as officers seamen, landmen and marines, in which of the three first characters Mr. M c Donald entered on board this deponent cannot say but both solemnly swear that he was not a marine; for this deponent well remembers that when the usual arrangement was made on board the vessel, previous to her going to sea, that Mr. M c Donald was placed at one of the great guns on the open deck with this deponent. Mr. Porter and John Evans; that Mr. M c Donald continued in that station till he was wounded on the 12th day of July, in an action which took place between the the Holker and the brig Rodney, an English privateer out of New-York; that during the whole action Mr. M c Donald behaved with great coolness and courage, and when he fell his fate was much lamented by the whole crew; this deponent further saith that Roger Cain, who was second lieut. was detected by the whole crew, particularly after the action with the Rodney; that after the first lieut. was mortally wounded, and captain Lawler taken off the deck (being desperately wounded): Cain appeared to this deponent to take better care of himself than he did of the vessel; that this deponent verily believes if captain Lawler or lieutenant Downey had been on deck, instead of Cain, the enemy would have been taken and brought into port.
JACOB GRACE. Sworn and subscribed before me the day and year first above written. ROBERT WHARTON.
