From a London Paper.
Mrs. THELUSSON'S MASQUERADE.
THE Masquerades given occasionally by this lady, are conducted on such a liberal and extensive scale, that they have seldom failed to occupy the attention of the higher circles for some weeks prior to their taking place. Those who have attended to Mrs. Thellusson's Masquerade arrangements, must know that her chief aim is originality, and nothing is introduced that does not possess novelty or whimsicality. To this end, Mrs. Thellusson proposed to introduce a piece which promised a fund of amusement. It was to be a mock representation of Bonaparte's coronation. The plan was extremely well imagined, and from the characters chosen to execute it, it could not have failed to prove highly diverting to those who delight in eccentric and humorous representations. In order that all the company might have an opportunity of seeing it, a stage of large dimensions was erected in the garden; and to give it greater effect, appropriate scenery was procured from Drury-lane Theatre. Over the chair in which the Emperor was to sit, was intended to be placed a canopy, with the words "Emperor of the Gulls." The whimsical scene was to open with a view of a full meeting of the Legislative body at Paris, when a well dressed Punch, as the representation of Bonaparte, was to be proposed "Emperor of the Gulls," by a parson in the character of Curce, who in an introductory speech, was to extol the Coriscan Hero to the skies. This Senator was to be followed by Carat, who was strongly to oppose the motion amidst groans and hisses.
This point being carried, a stately Pope was to stand forward and crown Punch; after which a flourish of two penny trumpets was to strike up, which would have resembled the noise of Bartholomew fair. Europe was then to be led before the Emperor Punch in chains represented by a cripple wanting a leg and an arm. John Bull was also ordered to be brought before the crowned head, in chains, but in the attempt he broke loose, overthrew the Emperor , and dispersed the whole body of Legislators. Several appropriate songs were made for the occasion.
This part of the bill of fare for the evening having created much conversation abroad, it came to the knowledge of an illustrious Personage (the Prince of Wales) who intended to honor the evening's amusement with his presence, but who had highly disapproved of this part of the arrangement. He accordingly sent to Mrs. Thellusson, to say how desirable it would be if the whole of that ludicrous scene were omitted, as it might have a tendency to excite a still greater enmity between England and France than at present exists. Mrs. Thellusson in reply, observed, that all his arrangements were now made, and if the gentlemen who had engaged to perform their parts thought proper now to decline them, he would find some actors to fill their places, as he could not conceive what a scene at a masquerade had to do with the politics of the country. In consequence of this answer, we understand the scenery from Drury-lane was sent for back, and several of the gentlemen engaged in the mock piece resigned their parts. Mrs. Thellusson, however persevered, and procured a fresh company; and it was intended to go on with the plan, when the illustrious Personage himself called upon Mrs. T. and represented the mischeif which might arise even from so trivial an affair as the business in question, should it stir up additional resentment against our countrymen in France. He knew a Nobleman who felt most anxiously for his only son now in that country; and he was sensible it would greatly alleviate the mind of a feeling father, were this part of the plan to be relinquished. Mrs. Thellusson replied, that viewing the business in a political point of view, he could never think of departing from his original intention; but if the Noble Lord felt so acutely as the distinguished person represented, and thought proper to ask the matter as a favor, he certainly would attend to the request. This produced a letter from the Noble Lord in question, and this part of the plan was accordingly abandoned.
The above circumstance accounts for Mrs. Thellusson putting off the masquerade a day later than she intended, as it was necessary that other entertainments should be brought forward. On the stage erected for the grand coronation, was a group of grotesque figures, intended to personify the members of the society for the suppression of vice; their harangues were chiefly directed against the immorality of masquerades, in a file of wit and humor that excited no small portion of merriment among the spectators; but the scene which claimed the peculiar character for novelty, was in the entrance of the great hall, where, on a stage tastefully decorated, appeared a party of gods and goddesses, with Apollo and the Nine Muses . Apollo was personified by Mr. Maddox, who really sung in character, and was charmingly seconded by the celestial muses, who betrayed the forms & voices of the Duchess of Leeds , the Misses Anguishes , Misses Thompsons and Mrs. Champneys . In the garden were fixed two tents, whither the company resorted for coffee. The house itself was brilliantly illuminated all round with
variegated lamps. It was a late hour before the company retired to supper. Four large rooms below stairs were set apart for that purpose, besides a large music room up stairs. The numerous company, consisting nearly of one thousand persons, found nothing wanting; a superabundance of every delicacy the season could afford covered all the tables. The Prince's room was fitted up in a superior style, and the table decorated with the utmost elegance.
Besides the entertainments of the evening already mentioned, there were several others equally attractive, which we have not time to describe. A prologue, full of point, and neatly delivered, was spoken. It was introduced to account for the principal scene of the night having been left out of the arrangement, and was much applauded.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
ORIGIN OF NEWS PAPERS.
MR. EDITOR, In one of your late papers, the invention of News Papers is ascribed to Renaudot a physician of Paris, who it is said from a tattler of news became the printer of a News Paper. This account I believe to be incorrect. In Chalmers's life of Ruddiman it is stated, that "Venice had the honor of having produced the first Gazetta , as early as the year 1536. It contained," he continues, "much intelligence both of Italy and even the rest of Europe. Yet a jealous government, did not allow a printed News Paper, and the Venetian Gazetta continued long after the invention of printing, to the close of the 15th century, and even to our own days, to be distributed in manuscript."
"But News Papers really" he says, "had their origin in England in 1584: and mankind are indebted for this to the wisdom of Elizabeth and the prudence of Burleigh. The epoch of the Spanish Armada is also the epoch of a genuine News Paper. In the British Museum there are several News Papers, which had been printed whilst the Spanish fleet was in the English Channel during the year 1588. It was wise policy to prevent during the moment of general anxiety, the danger of false reports, by publishing real information. And the earliest News Paper is entitled 'The English Mercurie,' and which by authority was imprinted at London by Christopher Barker, her highness's printer, in 1588."
"But Burleigh's News Papers were all extraordinary Gazettes, and were published from time to time, as that profound Statesman wished, either to terrify or inform the people. After the Spanish fleet were dispersed these Gazettes but seldom appeared."
"English Papers however had regularly appeared in 1614. For Burton in his anatomy of melancholy, which was first published in that year says "that if any thing is read now-adays, it is a play book or a pamphlete of news. In 1622 Nathaniel Butter at the Pyde-ball, St. Austin's Gate, is published a weekly News Paper, entitled "The certain Newes of the present weeke." How long Butter continued this paper is now uncertain. But whatever may have been his success he had competitors and imitators. In February 1625-6 was published a fresh paper of Weekly News, published in a small quarto of 14 pages, it was printed at London for Mercurius Britannicus. "This name was annexed to papers for years afterwards. The writer, Marchmont Needham became distinguished as the author of the Mercuries . "Many were sent abroad, to inflame by their vehemence, and conciliate by their wit; to convince by their argument, or to delude by their sophistry. Many were written with extraordinary talents, and published with uncommon courage." But Needham's did not appear until about forty years after the Weekly News of 1625-6 was published; and after they had assumed a regular form, and were constantly published.
"In the Swedish Intelligence , a third time published in 1632, we are assured "that very good tidings are made of the Weekly Courantoes , which if a man of judgement read, he shall find very true and punctual: whosoever will be cunning in the places and persons of Germany, and would understand her wars, let him not despise Courantoes ."
"Yet are we told that the inventor of News Papers is due to Renaudot who did not obtain before the year 1631 a patent from Richelieu for the Paris Gazette ."
"The dates prove incontrovertibly, that papers of this kind were used and known long before, both in Germany and England."
SPELMAN.
From the Independent Gazetteer.
HAVING at length a few leisure moments, I shall employ them in giving a brief answer to the second number of Arisarchus.
Arisarchus's 1st remark of the 2d No. appears to have been occasioned by a typographical error; houses for loves . (a) The 2d rem. is on a passage which may be found in Harrison's Grammar , 6th edition, improved by a teacher of Philadelphia; and warmly recommended by Dr. Rogers , professor of English in the University of Pennsylvania. p. 12. "If the singular end in y , or ey , preceded by a consonant, the plural shall end in ies ; as, beauty, beauties; chimney, chimneys . (b)
"The rule is here given without any exception."
A similar rule may be found in Dr. All's Grammar , p. 9th. "When the singular ends in y , with a consonant before it, the plural is formed by changing y into ies ; as lady, ladies; cherry, cherries . Here is not a single exception. See also Ruddiman's Grammar , p. 7th.
The 3d rem. is on certain rules for finding the verb. The 1st rule of this kind which A. brings forward to view, is the following: "Whatever word, with a substantive, makes full sense, is a verb." In the American Grammar , with a substantive, makes full sense, or a SENTENCE, IS A VERB; as, man exists, trees grow .
Mr. Buchanan says, (Reg. Sth. p. 33) "A verb being the most necessary or essential part of a sentence, without which it cannot subsist; whatever word with a noun substantive, makes full sense of a sentence, is a verb; as, man exists, trees grow, John laughs, boys play , &c. But that word which does not make full sense, with a substantive, is not a verb." (See Lowth's Gram. p. 129th); also Reg. Sth. p. 26th. "How may we readily distinguish an adjective from a noun? An adjective can make sense with the word thing after it; as, a good thing, a bad thing, a white thing, a black thing, a round thing , &c. (c) Would any good Grammarian, therefore, infer that Mr. Buchanan considered the verb and the adjective one and the same thing? But in order that the scholar might have no reason to complain of the want of rules," Mr. Buchanan "gives two more methods by which the verb may be distinguished, viz. "Whatever word has any of the persons I, thou, you, he, she, it, we, ye, they , or that has IT SHALL before it, and makes sense, is a verb, otherwise not."
The 4th rem. is on a note in Harrison's Grammar , p. 38. The fame is in Dr. Lowth's Grammar , p. 82. "But sometimes, after an enumeration of particulars thus connected, the verb follows in the singular number: and is understood as applied to each of the preceding terms: as—"The glorious inhabitants of those sacred palaces, where nothing but light and blessed immortality; no shadow of matter for tears, discontentments, griefs and uncomfortable passions to work upon; but all joy, tranquility and peace, for ever and ever doth dwell." (d)
The 5th rem. is on a rule which stands in the following connection: Rule 2. "Two or more nouns of the singular number, with a copulative conjunction between them, require a plural verb; as, knowledge and virtue are preferable to riches . Rule 3. Different nouns connected by a disjunctive conjunction, require a singular verb; as, temerity or diffidence is alike unfavorable to success . These rules are in Harrison's Grammar , p. 38, in the following words: Art. 72. "Two or more subjects of the singular number, with a copulative conjunction between them, require a verb plural; as, &c. 73. Different subjects connected by a disjunctive conjunction, require a singular verb; as, temerity or diffidence ," &c.
If those able teachers who have been engaged in teaching Harrison's Grammar , in Philadelphia, and other places, where learning has flourished, had considered this rule too elliptical, they might have had the ellipsis supplied, (e) as this Grammar has gone through several editions.
The 6th rem. is on a rule which is in Harrison's Grammar , p. 42, in the following words: "If a subject, expressed or understood, come between the relative who and the verb, the relative must be put in the objective case. The same rule is in Buchanan's Regular Syntax , p. 109, in the following words: "But if a nominative comes betwixt the relative and the verb, the relative who with its compounds, must be of the following state, &c. Should any one wish to know, what is to be done with the relative who , when it has respect to property or possession, he may read Harrison's Grammar , p. 32, art. 87, 88, or the American Grammar , p. 64, rules 17, 18; and he will find that "the relation of property or possession, may be expressed by the possessive case." (f) What is the possessive of who ? is it not whose ?
The 7th rem. is on a rule which is in Harrison's Grammar , in the following words; (see p. 43, art. 90): "A verb following another verb, is put in the infinitive mode; as, boys love to play . The same is in Lowth's Grammar , p. 77. "A verb following another verb; as, boys love to play : where the latter verb is put in the infinitive mode." (g) Is there not something understood between those verbs in the examples A. produces to show the absurdity of this rule? has not every transitive verb an object? (See Har. Gram. p. 84.)
I have reason to believe Arisarchus once entertained a good opinion of Lowth's Grammar , see Wilson's Grammar , preface, page 5, where he says—"The system of Grammar which I have principally used, is Dr. Lowth's Introduction , universally allowed to be the best extant: the learned author having investigated the structure of our language with more grammatical accuracy and critical attention, than perhaps any other before or since his time." How is it that this man is so disgusted with the American Grammar , that he hates even Dr. Lowth's rules, when he sees them in it. I suppose the reason is pretty well known: A. is the author of about eighty pages of Grammar, which he sells at an extravagant price: be therefore, as doubt, wishes not only to cry down the American Grammar , but all others which are for sale in the State. Hence he has, as it were, made an appeal from the unlettered and learned men who recommended the American Grammar , to the populace at large, who generally speaking, know nothing about Grammar: but I forbear.
I observe in the former part of the answer, published in the Independent Gazetteer , September 28th, some typographical errors. These will, perhaps, afford A. matter for another discourse.
I have too much business of importance on hand, to attend to these comparatively speaking, trifling things.
JOHN LYLE.
NOTES BY ARISARCHUS.
(a) If it be a typographical error, why was it not marked in the errata page? How came it to pass that the accurate and ingenious Typographer General did not as usual convert it into " horse ?"
(b) If Mr. Harrison forgot to mention the exceptions to the rule, why did not Mr. L. as he was making a " New Grammar ," supply the deficiency?
(c) Who has denied that an adjective can make sense with a substantive? What occasion had the rev. Critic to labour so hard in endeavoring to establish a proposition which was never contradicted? Or what can he mean by talking so much about " white things, black things and round things ?"
(d) Dr. Lowth says, " sometimes " after an enumeration of particulars, the verb follows in the singular; but he does not say with propriety . He does not recommend such expressions to the pupil for imitation; but on the contrary, produces an example from Scripture [ Luke v. 10. ] in these words; "and so was James and John the sons of Zebdee ," &c. concerning which he observes, that "the verb in the singular number, seems highly improper." Does this look like approbation?
(e) If those able teachers had applied to Mr. L. "they might have had the ellipsis supplied, as this ingenious gentleman has lately exhibited an instance of uncommon adroitness in supplying the ellipsis."
(f) "Should any one wish to know" says he, "what is to be done with the relative who , he may read Harrison's Grammar ." The pupil, therefore, had better dispense with the American Grammar altogether, and make use of Harrison's .
(g) 'The same,' says he, 'is in Lowth's Grammar .' Had the rev. Critic examined the matter a little more attentively, he might have discovered that the same is not in Lowth's Grammar . The bishop , it is true, gives an instance of a verb following another, as boys love to play : 'where,' says he, (i. e. in which particular instance) 'the latter is in the infinitive mode' which is certainly just; for no grammarian ever denied that the infinitive mode often follows another verb; but there is a considerable difference between saying, that in particular instances, the infinitive mode follows another verb, and laying it down as a rule without exception, as Mr. L. has done, that 'any verb (whether auxiliary or principal) following another verb is put in the infinitive mode.' But these and other improprieties are so fully and plainly exhibited in the second number of Arisarchus that to expatiate on them here would be entirely superfluous. The rev. Author has laboured hard to palliate his blunders, and extenuate his faults and erroneous positions; with what success, it is no my business to determine. After a few unwarranted assertions, ill-bred misrepresentations, and uncharitable conjectures, about the motives which induced Arisarchus to animadvert on the American Grammar , he intimates that all the wisdom of the Western World is reposed and concentrated in the heads of those gentlemen alone, who, at the peril of their own literary fame, have obligingly recommended his grammatical farrago, and that the public (chose two or three characters excepted) know nothing about the propriety of language. And lastly, to crown the whole; he concludes with assuring the public that he is a man of 'IMPORTANCE,' and that they are NO JUDGES!
As Mr. L's answer has appeared in both papers, and the two numbers of Arisarchus in Mr. Bradford's only; Mr. Anderson will, I doubt not, deem it incumbent on him, as an impartial editor, to publish the said numbers in the Independent Gazetteer , for the satisfaction of those who take his paper.
FROM THE AURORA
TO THE FRENCH INHABITANTS OF LOUISIANA.
A publication having the appearance of a memorial and remonstrance, to be presented to congress at the ensuing session, has appeared in several papers. It is therefore open to examination and I offer you my remarks upon it: The title and introductory paragraph are as follows:
To the Congress of the United States, in Senate and House of Representatives convened.
"We the subscribers, planters, merchants, and other inhabitants of Louisiana, respectfully approach the legislature of the United States, with a memorial of our rights, a remonstrance against certain laws which contravene them, and a petition for that redress to which the laws of nature, sanctioned by positive stipulations have entitled us."
It often happens that when one party or one that thinks itself a party, talks much about its rights, it puts those of the other party upon examining into their own, and such is the effect produced by your memorial.
A single reading of that memorial will show it is the work of some person who knows not of your people. His acquaintance with the cause, commencement, progress, and termination of the American revolution decides this point; and his making your merits in that revolution the ground of your claims, as if our merits could be come yours, shows he does not understand your situation.
We obtained our rights by calmly understanding principles, and by the successful event of a long, obstinate, and expensive war. But it is not incumbent on us to fight the battles of the world for the world's profit. You are already participating, without any merit or experience in obtaining it, the blessings of freedom acquired by ourselves; and in proportion as you become initiated into the principles and practice of the representative system of government, of which you have yet had no experience, you will participate more, and finally be partakers of the whole. You see what mischievous influence in France by the possession of power before they understood principles. They earned liberty in words but not in fact. The writer of this was in France through the whole of the revolution and knows the truth of what he speaks; for after endeavouring to give it principle he had nearly fallen a victim to its rage.
There is great want of judgment in the person who drew up your memorial. He has mistaken your case and forgotten his own; and by trying to court your applause has injured your pretensions. He has written like a lawyer, framing every point that would please his client, without studying his advantage. I find no fault with the composition of the memorial, for it is well written; nor with the principles of liberty it contains considered in the abstract. The error lies in the misapplication of them, and in assuming a ground they have not a right to stand upon. Instead of their serving you as a ground of reclamation against us, they change into a snare on yourselves. Why did you not speak thus when you ought to have spoken it. We fought for liberty when you stood quiet in slavery.
The author of the memorial injudiciously confounding two distinct cases together, has spoken as if he was the memorialist of a body of Americans, who after sharing equally with us in all the dangers and hardships of the revolutionary war had retired to a distance and made a settlement for themselves. If in such a situation, congress had established a temporary government over them in which they were not personally consulted, they would have had a right to speak as the memorial speaks. But your situation is different from what the situation of such persons would be, and therefore their ground of reclamation cannot of right become yours. You are arriving at freedom by the slowest means that any people ever enjoyed it; without cost, without expense, and even without any contrivance of your own. And you already so far mistake principles that under the name of rights you ask for powers; power to import and enslave Africans; and to govern a territory that we have purchased.
To give colour to your memorial you refer to the treaty of cession (in which you were not one of the contracting parties) concluded at Paris between the governments of the United States and France.
The third article (you say) of the treaty lately concluded at Paris declares, that the inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages, and immunities of citizens of the United States, and in the mean time, they shall be protected in the enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the exercise of the religion they profess."
As from your former condition you cannot be much acquainted with diplomatic policy, and I am convinced that even the gentleman who drew up the memorial is not, I will explain to you the ground of this article. It may prevent your running into further errors.
The territory of Louisiana had been so often ceded to different European powers that it became a necessary article on the part of France, and for the security of Spain the ally of France, and which accorded perfectly with our own principles and intentions, that it should be ceded no more; and this article, stipulating for the incorporation of Louisiana into the union of the United States stands as a bargain all future cession, and at the same time as well as "in the mean time;" secures to you a civil and political permanency, personal security, and liberty which you never enjoyed before.
France and Spain might suspect (and the suspicion would not have been ill founded had the session been treated for in the administration of John Adams, or when Washington was president, and Alexander Hamilton president over him) that we bought Louisiana from the British government, or with a view of selling it to her; and though such suspicion had no just ground to stand upon with respect to our present president Thomas Jefferson who is not only a man of intrigue, but who possesses that honest pride of principle that cannot be intrigued with, and which keep intriguers at a distance, the article was nevertheless necessary as a precaution against future contingencies. But you, from not knowing the political ground of the article, apply to yourselves personally and exclusively what had reference to the territory to prevent its falling into the hands of any foreign power that might endanger the Spanish dominions in America, or those of the French in the West India islands.
You claim (you say) to be incorporated into the union of the United States, and your remonstrances on this subject are unjust and without a cause.
You are already incorporated into it fully and effectively as the Americans themselves are, who are settled in Louisiana. You enjoy the same rights, privileges, advantages and immunities which they enjoy, and when Louisiana, or some part of it shall be erected into a constitutional state, you also will be citizens equally with them.
You speak in your memorial, as if you were the only people who were to live in Louisiana, and as if the territory was purchased that you exclusively might govern it. In both these cases you are

great mistaken. The emigration from the United States into the purchase territory, and the population arising therefrom will in a few years exceed your numbers. It is but twenty-six years since Kentucky began to be settled, and it already contains more than double your population.
In a candid view of the case, you ask for what would be injurious to yourselves to receive, and unjust in us to grant.
Injurious because the settlement of Louisiana will go on much faster under the government and guardianship of congress than if the government of it were committed to your hands; and consequently the landed property you possessed as individuals when the treaty was concluded, or have purchased since, will encroach in much faster in value. Unjust to ourselves because the reimbursement of the purchase money must come out of the sale of the lands to new settlers. The government of it cannot suddenly go out of the hands of congress. They are guardians of that property for all the people of the United States. And besides this, as the new settlers will be chiefly from the United States it would be unjust and ill-policy to put them and their property under the jurisdiction of a people whose freedom they had contributed to purchase. You ought also to recollect that the French revolution has not exhibited to the world that grand display of principles and rights that would induce settlers from other countries to put themselves under a French jurisdiction in Louisiana. Beware of intriguers who may push you on from private motives of their own.
You complain of two cases, one of which you have no right, no concern with; and the other is founded in direct injustice.
You complain that Congress has passed a law to divide the country into two territories. It is not improper to inform you, that after the revolutionary war ended, Congress divided the territory acquired by that war, into territories; each of which were to be erected into a constitutional state, when it arrived at a certain population mentioned in the act; and in the mean time, an officer appointed by the President, as the governor of Louisiana now is, presided, as governor of the western territory, over all such parts as have not arrived at the maturity of statehood. Louisiana will require to be divided into twelve states or more; but this is a matter that belongs to the purchaser of the territory of Louisiana and with which the inhabitants of the town of N. Orleans have no right to interfere; and besides this it is probable that the inhabitants of the other territory would choose to be independent of New Orleans. They might apprehend, that on some speculating pretence, their produce might be put in requisition, and a maximum price put on it; a thing not uncommon in a French government—as a general rule, without refusing upon sentiment, one may put confidence in the justice of those who have no inducement to do us injustice; and this is the case Congress stands in with respect to both territories, and to all other divisions that may be laid out, and to all inhabitants and settlers of whatever nation they may be.
There can be no such thing as what the memorial speaks of, that is, of a governor appointed by the President, who may have no interest in the welfare of Louisiana. He must from the nature of the case, have more interest in it than any other person can have. He is entrusted with the care of an extensive tract of country, now the property of the U. States by purchase. The value of those lands will depend on the increasing prosperity of Louisiana, its agriculture, commerce, and population. You have only a local and partial interest in the town of N. Orleans or its vicinity; and if, in consequence of exploring the country, new seats of commerce should offer, his general interest would lead him to open them, and your partial interest to shut them up.
There is probably some justice in your remark, as it applies to the governments under which you formerly lived. Such governments always look with jealousy, and an apprehension of revolt, on colonies increasing in prosperity and population, and they send governors to keep them down. But when you argue from the conduct of governments distant and despotic, to that of domestic and free government, it shows you do not understand the principles and interest of a republic, and to put you right is friendship; we have had experience and you have not.
The other case to which I alluded as being founded in direct injustice, is that in which you petition for power, under the name of rights, to import and enslave Africans!
Dare you put up a petition to Heaven for such a power, without fearing to be struck from the earth by its justice? Why then do you ask it of man against man?
Do you want to renew in Louisiana the burrows of Domingo?

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. 28.
The following extracts of letters from an American captive in Tripoli, are given in the Philadelphia Gazette.
TRIPOLI, May 21. "Since my last, nothing worthy of recital has occurred, except the death of one of our crew. I fear this will be the purport of all future letters; as the summer is fast approaching, and the heat will naturally have a fatal effect upon your unfortunate countrymen, who are daily yoked to a large waggon, which they are obliged to drag into the country, where it is loaded with heavy timber for their return."
April 7. "A few days ago, a small craft, under English colours was captured by the Syren, on this station; in consequence of which the Bashaw sent for the British Consul to know whether a United States vessel dare to take any articles out of a vessel under the protection of his Majesty's colours? Mr M'Donough answered in the negative, also gave the Bashaw a written certificate or passport. The vessel was immediately laden with a very valuable cargo, belonging to the Bashaw's subjects, and set sail for Malta; but unfortunately for his majesty's Consul, she was captured almost under the forts. Captain Stewart ordered her for Syracuse. The Bashaw sent for Mr. M'Donough, and afterwards giving him sufficient abuse, ordered him to quit his dominions in 12 hours. The next day he set sail for Malta in a small craft: but was captured off the harbour by the Syren, and sent to Syracuse. His excellency is very much enraged at the conduct of the British Consul, and is determined not to receive him again, let the consequence be as it may, we are in hopes this affair will bring Lord Nelson off this station."
"Five months have already expired of our captivity, and yet no hopes of our country's redeeming us! However, I trust, they will recollect in whole lands and at whose mercy we are."
Adieu."
NEW-YORK, Sept. 28. Important dispatches from Mr. Pinckney, our minister at the Spanish court arrived yesterday in the brig Hope from Cadiz.
They are borne by Lieut. Dalton of the navy, who informs, that Mr. Pinckney would leave Madrid on his return to the United States, on the 20th of August. The ultimatum of the Spanish government is said to be of such a nature as it is impossible for the U. States even to accede to.
Captain Wilson, of the ship Bellona, informs us that General MORREAU and his Lady were at Barcelona on the 27th July, and applied to him for a passage; but he was under the necessity of declining their offer, the cabin of the vessel not being sufficiently convenient for their accommodation. On the 10th of August whilst at Gibraltar captain Wilson was informed that these illustrious characters had reached Cadiz, from whence they would embark for the United States.
A letter from Savannah, dated the 10th inst. says—"It is impossible to describe to you the losses and appearances of things here, goods, buildings, dead bodies, animals, &c. among the ruins, shock the eye, and the distresses of merchants, &c. are indescribable. Several have not saved a book or a paper of value. The losses in the city has not been so great, though truly distressing. A number of lives were lost. Houses, chimneys, trees and fences, have fallen, that cover the city with rubbish. The islands around us and river, rice and swamps, have been totally inundated, and thousand of the inhabitants of those places drowned, principally negroes, and some very respectable families, amongst them."
The late hurricane at the Southward, was severely felt at Christ Church, South Carolina, where the land under cultivation was inundated, crops of Cotton, Potatoes and Corn destroyed, every pannel of fence swept away; lime kilns, with at least one hundred tons of shells on them leveled; the foundation on which they stood, which was made land, destroyed; fishermen, sloops and shell boats driven on shore and into fields.
In the neighbourhood of Georgetown, 10,000 bbls. of rice was destroyed.
