French Tuition, UPON AN ANALYTICAL PLAN. NICHOLAS GOUIN DUFIET, 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, fourth 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. Dufiet, 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 peruse 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 Chymistry, within a very few years, are entirely due to analysis; but there is an art on which it should have first darted 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 their unerring lessons—Fully convinced by reason and experience, that the same method the pupils should be followed as nearly as possible, I adopted, in the course of my instructions, such books established on principles that least 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 for the improvement of those who may wish to learn French from 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 serving as links, or complements 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 similar 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, presuming that I may be permitted to say, that I have not been altogether undeserving of it. September 1.

The citizens of Delaware having retired, it was, on motion, resolved, that Thomas Bull, Isaac Wayne, and Joseph M'CLELLAN, Esquires be appointed Conferences on behalf of Chester county, to meet Conferences already appointed by the counties of Bucks and Montgomery, at Norristown, the 12th of September next to fix upon some suitable Federal Character to be voted for the ensuing election, to represent the district in the Senate of Pennsylvania.
On motion, it was resolved, That the Federal citizens of Chester county be requested to meet at the house of Abraham Marshall, in West Bradford, on the 30th of September next, for the purpose of fixing on a ticket generally for said county, and that the whole proceeding of the day be published in Hall and Sellers, Gazette, with a request to the other Federal printers of the city of Philadelphia, to publish the same in their papers until the election.

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. Whereupon, Ordered, That five hundred copies of the said Report be printed and dispersed throughout the different parts of this County;—and that John
Blackwood and Joseph Hugg, Esqrs. and James Hurley, be a Committee for that purpose.
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. Harrilson, bel Clement, Samuel French. Sheriff. Joseph Hugg. Coroners. 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—The effect of which, we solemnly believe, would subvert our true interests, destroy the real happiness we experience under our present mild and salutary general government; and eventually introduce among us all the direful attendants on disorder, anarchy and confusion.
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.

For the 24 hours preceding Thursday September 25, there were 31 deaths in Baltimore and its vicinity.
From the 16th to the 19th instant, there were 7 deaths in Norfolk—New cases 17.
A Correspondent does not believe the report that the negotiations with the French government are broken off on account of their refusing to make compensation for the spoliations on our commerce, because he has reason to think that such demand was not to be made an absolute condition on the part of our commissioners. But he thinks it highly probable that the French may have insisted on a treaty offensive and defensive; and further, that we should make them a loan to carry on the war, perhaps to the amount of 12 months pay and subsistence for the army, and a few Eagles for pocket money for the First Consul and his Lady! Nor is it believed, that either Dr. Logan, Thomas Leiper, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Gallatin, Alexander Dallas, Tench Coxe, or any other good democrat in the country, would think such demands unreasonable or improper.
ELECTION.
By an act passed at the last session of the General Assembly, the City of Philadelphia was divided into fourteen wards—seven eastward of Fourth-street, viz. 1. Upper Delaware, 2. Lower Delaware, 3. High-Street, 4. Chestnut, 5. Walnut, 6. Dock, 7. Newmarket; and seven westward of Fourth-street, viz. 8. North Mulberry, 9. South Mulberry, 10. North, 11. Middle, 12. South, 13. Locust, 14. Cedar.
By the same act it is provided "That the electors of the aforesaid wards shall, under the regulations prescribed by the "Act to regulate the General Elections of this Commonwealth" choose two Inspectors of the General Election for each and every of the said wards; and in conducting the said General Elections, and receiving the votes at the same, the two Inspectors of each ward shall occupy one window or door of the house where the election shall be held in exclusion of the Inspector or Inspectors of any other ward or place; and that the General Elections for the said city shall be opened between the hours of eight and ten in the forenoon, and shall continue without interruption or adjournment, until the Electors who shall come to the said Elections shall have an opportunity to give in their votes."
The poor Blacks with dying lips have uniformly charged their Political errors to the efforts of our Jacobins, and the friends of Jefferson.
A Gentleman from North Carolina, informs that another Negro insurrection broke out near Edenton, North Carolina, but was happily suppressed.
When we are told that the life of a man, who is verging to fifty years of age, has been correctly given in four lines, we are led to conclude that his course has been a straight one; but the life of a Jacobin sets all conclusions at defiance, as will be seen in the zig-zagery of the strolling scoundrel, who is the subject of the following verse—

And this is the Fellow who has the assurance in concert with the worthy office-hunters, Tim Matlack, sap-skuil Muhlenberg, and little granny Sammy Bryan, to address the People of Pennsylvania on the subject of their political concerns.

Why did you confign to oblivion Samuel Morse's confession of the error he had committed in attempting to impose on the People of America, an infamous falsehood respecting Jonathan Robbins, alias Nash? Why did you permit his request to publish it to remain unattended to for several weeks after he made it? it was not thus with his lying epistle, that you seized with avidity as a means to further your designs, and as a weapon by which virtuous men might be injured; but your friend and correspondent Morse has uneloaked you, and you appear before the American People, a base and infamous traducer of HONEST MEN.

MR. WAYNE,
THE Aurora of yesterday morning contains what is called a Copy of a Letter from a Clergyman, corroborative of certain statements made at Lancaster, by the said Clergyman, in the presence of Tench Coxe and William Barton. Being an old man, and not very conversant in politics, I am not able "clearly to decipher" the meaning of the letter; I shall therefore wait 'till some of your friendly correspondents can "respond" to the following queries:
1. Is it not very probable that the clerical author of the letter is the notorious Parson JONES of CERTIFICATE MEMORY,—the catiff who travelled from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia before the late election, publishing "charges of infidelity" against James Rofs of Pittsburgh? If it be the same man, he formerly was well known in General Wayne's army; lives now in Chester county, is a notorious Jacobin and liar, and has been in the habit of asserting the character of the immortal Washington.
2. Is it not probable that William Barton is the same man who left America about the commencement of the Revolutionary War, and took up his residence in OLD ENGLAND, where he was ardently employed in the investigation of Heraldry?—The same man who said that Alexander Joddi "Dallas was as dam'd a rascal as remained unbung?"
3. Is it not equally probable that the Tench Coxe there mentioned, is the identical person who held an office in the American army, and who afterwards deserted to the British, and escorted Lord Howe's army into the city of Philadelphia, about the year 1778? PROOF.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. WAYNE,
I PERCEIVE in yesterday's Aurora, a copy of a letter containing reflections on Mr. Adams, the substance of which was said to be delivered in the presence of Tench Coxe, William Barton, &c. at the house of Peter Gorton, in Lancaster. I am led to believe that the whole is an infamous fabrication, from several circumstances, particularly a well-known one, that no person by the name of Peter Gorton keeps a house of any kind, or is known in Lancaster. A LANCASTRIAN.
Last evening arrived the brig Little Maria, capt. Thompson, in 56 days from Lisbon. Captain T. informs that a few days previous to his leaving Lisbon, the Court of Portugal received a formal demand from Buonaparte, for the sum of Eight Millions Crowns, to remain neutral, and to permit the French vessels free entry in the ports of Portugal—That if this was refused, he would immediately send an army of sixty thousand men under the command of General Brune who was waiting with an army of twenty five thousand men at Dijon, in readiness to march at a moment's warning; and that Spain had given consent to their marching through her territory—That this information had delayed the sailing of the British Packet, and that the Court of Portugal it was generally believed were about returning a categorical answer.
The British Packet has arrived at New-York.
Performance at the Theatre Royal at Halifax, are going forward by a number of gentlemen of the army under the particular patronage of General Bowyer.
On the 11th instant the corner stone of the new government house at Halifax, for the residence of the lieutenant Governor, was laid, with all the solemn ceremonies usual on such occasions.

[At a time when a most infamous attempt to deceive the people of America respecting the Debt of the United States, is made by a Geneva Sophist, for Electioneering purposes, we believe that a Statement of the Report on that subject, as submitted to Congress by a Committee, from their body, one of whom was Gallatin himself, will not be unacceptable to the community. This Report shall be followed by an investigation of the Pamphlet, lately written to "stop de veels of government."
The Committee of the House of Representatives, who framed the Report, was composed of Mr. Griswold, Mr. Waln, Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Sheaffe, Mr. Gallatin , Mr. Sewall, and Mr. Samuel Smith : And yet a member of this committee, Gallatin , has since come forward in a pamphlet to prove the fallacy of the report itself, and with the most unblushing misrepresentations respecting the actual state of the Debt!
REPORT ON THE PUBLIC DEBT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Submitted to the House of Representatives on the 8th May, 1800.
And ordered to lie on the table.
The committee who were appointed on the twentieth of March, to examine the laws of the United States, relating to the public debt, and to report the amount respectively incurred and extinguished, and generally such facts as relate to the increase or diminution of the same, since the establishment of the government of the United States under the present Constitution.
REPORT,
THAT for the purpose of obtaining every statement from the Treasury, which could elucidate the subject of enquiry, they addressed a letter to the Secretary of that Department, on the 24th of March, a copy of which is subjoined to this report, and on the 29th of April they received his answer, transmitting sundry statements, numbered from one to nine inclusive, and exhibiting, in the most clear and satisfactory manner, the most important of the Treasury operations in relation to the debt, from the commencement of the present government. These statements, together with three letters from the Secretary on this subject, are now submitted to the house, and although it is certainly possible that some trivial errors may have taken place in the details which these documents contain, yet the committee are perfectly confident, that the general results which they produce must be correct.
The order of the house having particularly directed the attention of the committee to the increase or diminution of debt, they have thought it their duty to bring into view the amount of debt with which the present government commenced its operations, and to contrast the same, with the balance of debt on the first of January, in the present year. In discharging this duty, it will become necessary to explain the principles on which these statements rest; which the committee will do in as concise a manner as possible. But before they enter upon this detail, they cannot forbear to express the satisfaction which they feel in declaring, that the documents which have been obtained from the Treasury, will, in their opinion, fully demonstrate the precision and ability with which the business of that department has been conducted, and that by the fiscal operations of the government, the public debt has been diminished.
In ascertaining the amount of the old debt, two different principles have been taken by those who made their calculations on this subject. The first has been to include only the interest upon the debt to the close of the year 1789, as the nearest convenient period to the day when the government commenced its operations, and after deducting from the aggregate of debt the amount of funds then in the power of the government, to consider the balance as the amount of old debt. The second principle has been to take the amount of debt, as the same has been liquidated and funded under various acts of Congress, and after deducting therefrom the funds acquired or possessed by the government at the close of the year 1790, to consider the balance as constituting the true amount of old debt. The difference between these principles consists in this: by the last mode of computation, the interest which accumulated upon the debt, subsequent to the close of the year 1789, and until the debt was funded and provided for by law, is considered as a part of the old debt, whereas, by the first mode of computation, that interest is totally excluded.
In consequence of a difference of opinion, which it is understood still exists in this point, the committee have thought proper to state the debt in both modes, that the results in both cases may be perfectly understood.
The nominal amount of debt Dolls. Cts. on the first of Jan. 1790 as appears by statement number nine, amounted to 72,237 301 97
The funds then in possession of the government, and to be deducted, were, Cash in the treasury, Jan. 1, 1790, 28,239, 61 Cash in the hands of collectors, 83,127, 84 Bonds at the Custom Houses, 590,468, 60 Debts due to the United States, under contracts of the late government, collected at sundry times, 62,586 74 Debts paid in specie during the year 1789, 15,927 13
  Proceeds of the sale of land to the State of Pennsylvania, made by the late government, 151,392 41   931,742 33   Amount of debt Jan 1, 1790, 71,305 559 64   That the funds possessed by this government on the 1st of January 1791, and to be deducted from the debt, were as follows:   Cash in the treasury January 1, 1791, 510,023 88   Cash in the hands of collectors 225,786 95   Custom-house bonds uncollected 1,052,215 13   Money collected from the credits of the late government, as in the preceding statement 62,586, 74   Debts paid in specie during the year 1789, 15,927 13   Sales of land to Pennsylvania 151,392 41   Debts purchased and discharged during the year 1790 518 44 8   2,596,356 32   True amount of debt Jan. 1, 1791 74,185,596 82   By the same document No. 9, it appears that the debt exclusive of temporary loans, on the 1st of January, 1800, amounted to 76,651,820 30   Temporary loans without deducting bank shares 3 640,000   Nominal amount of debt, Jan. 1, 1800 80,291,820 30   Funds acquired by the government and which may be applied to face the foregoing debt:   Cash in the treasury, January 1, 1800, deducting therefrom the amount of unclaimed registered debt, and debt due to foreign officers, which are to be considered at all times as a charge on the specific balance in the treasury 2,061,683 49   Remittances to Holland, beyond the sum necessary to meet all demands on the foreign debt, to the close of the year 1799 548,955 84   Cash in the hands of collectors and supervisors 552,247 81   Bonds uncollected at the Custom houses estimated at six millions payable on an average of six months, deducting the interest for that term, leaves 2,220 shares of bank stock cost 888,000   Advancement-five per cent 222,000   1,110,000 1,110,000   10 079 102 14   True amount of debt, January 1, 1800 70,212,718 16   For the purpose of showing the rapidity, with which the public debt was diminishing, at the time when the hostility of France compelled the government to incur those great and extraordinary expenses which appear in the Treasury statements, and to enter upon that expensive system of defence, which has resulted in the security of our commerce, the committee have thought it necessary, in addition to the preceding statements, to present a view of the debt on the 1st of January 1798, remarking at the same time, that the reduction which at that time had been made, proves in the most satisfactory manner, the ease with which the debt may be extinguished, whenever the government shall be left unembarrassed by internal disorder or foreign hostility.   The nominal amount of debt on the first of Jan. 1798, was 76,366,618 82   Funds to be deducted were, Cash in the treasury, Jan. 1, 1798, 1,021,889 4   Cash in the hands of Collectors, 265,369 3   Cash in the hands of supervisors, 32,964 39   Value of bonds uncollected at the Custom-houses, January 1, 1798, estimated at 6,309,008   Bank stock at its value, 1,110,000   8,739,280 36   True amount of debt Jan. 1, 1798, 67,627,338 46   From whence it results, that if the amount of debt on the first of January 1800, is compared with the debt of January 1st, 1791, the debt has diminished by the sum of 3,972,878 dollars and 66 cents. 
The committee deem it important to add that the extraordinary expense which has arisen within a few years, has swallowed up large sums of public wealth, and diverted the application of those monies which might otherwise have gone to the extinguishment of debt, to objects connected with the honor, and in some cases with the immediate existence of the government.  In this class of expense will be included a large sum occasioned by the Indian war—one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, expended in quelling two insurrections in the state of Pennsylvania—more than one million and a half expended in our transaction with Algiers and the other Mediterranean powers, together with much larger expense occasioned by the unprovoked aggressions of France upon this country. Had it been possible, steadily to have applied those various sums to the purchase of debt, it is easy to conceive how rapidly the same might have been extinguished. The Committee have likewise noticed the large sums which have been necessarily expended in the erection of light-houses, repairing fortifications in purchases for replenishing our military and naval arsenals, and in the building, purchase, and equipment of more than forty sail of ships and armed vessels, together with a considerable loan of money to the Commissioners of the city of Washington. The money expended on these objects, it is well known, arose to a very large amount, and the property thus acquired by the government, and which is now on hand, cannot be estimated, on the most moderate calculation, at a sum less than four millions of dollars.  The value of this property might be considered as composing another item in the credit of the general account of debt, but the committee have not thought it necessary to include it, and have noticed it particularly at this time, for the purpose of exhibiting a more general view of the extraordinary expense incurred by the government, and for the purpose of presenting all that information, in relation to the debt, which will enable the house accurately to appreciate the great and increasing resources of the country; and on this point the committee cannot forbear to remark, that the progress of the government, in its financial operations must afford the most flattering presages of its future success, if the same system is pursued which has hitherto proved so successful. It cannot certainly be unworthy of remark, that ten years have not at this time elapsed since the government fairly commenced its operations; that during that period it has been necessary to liquidate, to fund, and to provide for a large capital of floating debt which has grown out of the disorders of the confederation; that during the same short period, the government has been compelled to contend with one expensive war on the frontier, with two insurrections in the centre of our country, with depreciation & hostility from the nations of Europe; that these embarrassments have nevertheless been faced by the government; most of the difficulties have been surmounted; the debt has been liquidated and diminished, and the nation has still continued to increase in wealth and population beyond all former example; and altho' the contest in which we are now engaged, may, for a short period, retard the further extinguishment of debt, or perhaps produce a small addition to that which already exists, yet it cannot be doubted, that whilst we maintain order at home, no exterior circumstances can exhaust or greatly diminish the increasing resources of the nation.  [A letter to the Editor of the Aurora, dated Danbury, June 1 was published in that paper on the 20th of the same month, respecting Jonathan Robbins, alias Thomas Nash, the pirate and murderer. The author of it was one Samuel Morse , Editor of a Jacobin newspaper; the letter was written in an artful manner and the intention of its author was to impress a belief that what the selectmen had certified was not entitled to any credit; that since giving the certificate, they themselves had acknowledged they were wrong and that a person by the name of Robbins once lived there, &c.—This letter was instantly published in the Aurora , with some non-sensical prefatory remarks, and from thence it was published in every Jacobin Gazette on the continent, doubtless doing a great deal of injury by misleading many honest worthy citizens.—What credit there ought to have been attached to the former letter, and the base and villainous means by which the Jacobins support their party will be best understood by reading the following epistle to the public written by the author of the one to the Aurora Man of the 1st of June:—  From the Sun of Liberty, of Aug. 20. Danbury, August 15 1800. TO THE PUBLIC  Since writing my observations contained in a letter to the editor of the Aurora , dated the 1st, and republished in my paper No 4—and the address to the gentlemen of the town of Danbury, who signed the certificate, concerning Jonathan Robbins, I have become convinced, from further examination of the subject, that the said Jonathan Robbins was not a native of this town, nor ever resided here—and that the gentleman who so certified were not only honest and candid in giving such certificate, but certified the truth. The said publications in the aforesaid papers must therefore be considered as erroneous and incorrect.  My intention in publishing the observation in the aforesaid papers were not to
reflect on the characters of those gentlemen who certified, but the inaccuracies therein contained originated from mistake,  SAMUEL MORSE.  Those Printers in the United States who have printed the aforesaid publications are requested to publish the above.

Arrived, Brig Little Maria, Thompson; left Lisbon the 1st August. In that port remained the ship Gamaliel, Bradford, of Salem, from Barcelona—had received some damage in an action with four French privateers; brig John, Atkins, of Philadelphia, to sail shortly; Brigs Sufan, Spence, Charleston and Sea Nymph, McKeever, of Philadelphia, the captains of the two latter vessels had repaired with the supercargo, to Gibraltar, to await the decision of the British court of justice. On the 2d August, off Lisbon, spoke the ship Rising States, Tatem, of Salem, from Barcelona, to Lisbon, with a pilot on board. The 8th August, in lat 37, 19, long. 17, 16, was brought too by the Catherine, a Guineaman, of Liverpool, who detained the Maria five hours and then dismissed her.      On the 8th Sept. passed through the Jamaica fleet homeward bound, out 7 week, was brought too by the Barque Drifco, capt. Webb, a private armed ship, then in lat 41, 47, N. long. 47, 17, W. amounting to 80 sail. On the 11 Sept. in lat 41, 17 long 54, W. spoke the ship Sampson, Cooper of and from New-York, 11 days out to Liverpool. On the 22d Sept. in lat 40, 29, N. long 68, 57, W. spoke the brig Polly, Waters, from Dominica, who informed capt. Thompson that four days before, he had fallen in with the ship—Bearly, of and from Baltimore, 2 days out bound to Liverpool; had lost her fore-top-mast and bowsprit in the gale of the 8th instant. On the 23d Sept. in lat 39, 19, N. long. 72, 38, spoke the schooner Favouite, Broomley of Norwich, 20 days from Turks Island, had his waist and boat stove in and his main-mast cut away in the gale of the 16th inst.      We observe by a Halifax paper of the 16th instant, that on the 22d, the brig Moses, Myers, and the sloop General Greene, with their cargoes, and the cargo of the schooner Nostra Signora del Carmel, were to be sold at auction at Liverpool; they were prizes to the Duke of Kent and brig Rover.      The Cleopatra, Pellew, had arrived at Halifax from a cruise.      His Britannic Majesty's 24th and 26th regiments of foot had embarked on board of transports, and were to sail from Halifax for England.      The Packet failed from Falmouth the 9th ult. we have therefore no news by her.      The armed schooner Sir William Parker, had failed on a cruise.      Brig Lark, Wallace, from hence, to St. Jago de Cuba, was spoken on the 22d instant, latitude 22, 00, N.      Ship Old Tom, Moreton, from hence, has arrived at Cork, and proceeded for Dublin.      The arrival of the brig Peggy, Cotton, at Cork, from hence, as reported a few days since, is supposed to be premature. Ship Prosperity, Jougham, from hence is supposed to have arrived at Cork.      Ship Charlotte, Conegson, from hence, was seen going into Lisbon.      Schr Farmer, Richards, from hence to Havana, had her trial at Halifax the 1st inst. vessels cleared, cargo condemned, freight paid, owners to pay costs.      BOSTON, Sept. 18.

Arrived, ship Oneida, of New York, Pearsons 37 days from Falmouth. She was bound to Charleston, but, on the 8th inst in long 63, in a severe gale of wind, was completely dismasted and otherwise much injured—and in consequence obliged to put into this port for repairs. In the Oneida, came passengers, several of the crew of the Red-ship Frederick, of this port, captain Crocker, captured and carried into France. They complain of ill usage from Mr. Dobrec at Nantz, and Mr. Vails, at L'Orient; Sept. 1, at 41, 57, long 50, spoke ship Hope from Liverpool, for Virginia. Sept. 4, lat 57, 38, spoke brig Lydia, from Liverpool, for Virginia.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.  Arrived here in six days from Halifax, the British packet, Prince Ernst. By her we are informed, that three days after she failed, she spoke the ship Howard, from Amsterdam to this port, bound to Halifax, a prize to the Earl of Dublin privateer. It is well known that the property on board the Howard, is clearly American, and the probability is, that she will be cleared; this is the more to be wished, as no insurance is done on her. It is natural to feel more for individual, than for company losses, but we always regret either.  Yesterday came up from below the Hook, the ship Hercules, Captain Breath, from Batavia having parted her cable, and was very nearly on the breakers before she got under way; a most fortunate and valuable escape from destruction.  Arrived brig Recovery, Campbell, 9 weeks Greenock—spoke nothing. On the 9th inst the Recovery experienced a severe gale from the N. E. which cried away both her top masts, quarter boards and railings, washed two guns overboard, and lost 1 man during the tempest; 18th, saw a black American brig, with her mainmast gone, and no person on board Sable in co, with the ship Aurora, capt. McIntire bound to Virginia.  Sept. 21 lat 39 54 long 65 30 spoke ship Rising Sun, of and from N. York for Londonderry, met with a severe gale of wind on the 18th inst but all well at the time of speaking. Sept. 12 spoke brig Fanny of Newburyport 46 days out from Lisbon to Boston, who had a few days before experienced a very severe gale of wind, being in want of provisions, &c, which capt. H. supplied him with.

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 inven- tor's feelings, in several parts of the West-In- dies, and the southern parts of the United States— particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Rich- mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charles- ton, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a num- ber of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely 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 preva- lence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and bey- ond 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 su- perfluous 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 attend- ant 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, de- fluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fe- vers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundred have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives im- mediate and lasting relief in the most severe in- stances.
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 thou- sand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.
