The Editor of the N Y Daily Advertiser has received a regular file of London Papers to June 20 by the ship General Mercer...
Married, Mr. Charles P. Heath, to Miss Hetty Keely, daughter of Mr. Mathias Keely, Merchant, all of this city.
We have seen various letters, received in this city from Leghorn, from June 11 to 14; they contain such contradictory statements of the operations in Italy...
It is to be lamented that such brave men as Massena, and other French Generals, should so far deviate from the truth, as to admit the truth of their statements to be questioned...
Of the importance of the English expedition to Quiberon, we cannot form a correct opinion from the partial accounts in the public papers.
Captain Fotheringham, of the British ship Roxa, from St. Ubes, arrived at Baltimore, was informed by the Governor of St. Ubes, that positive accounts had been received that the French and Spanish combined fleets had been seen off Burling's Island...
A letter from an officer on board the Insurgent, at sea, but without date, to a gentleman in Baltimore, says, "The Constitution has taken a French ship of force, and recaptured an American brig."
[The Insurgent must have been off the coast when the above letter was written, as she could have left Norfolk but lately, and probably received the above information by some vessel bound into the Capes.]
Selected from the list published under the New-York head, brought by Captain Coffin.
Philadelphia vessels at Liver-pool, June 29. Ship Kingston, King, to sail 10th July. Amiable, Tillinghast, since taken. Orono, Middleton, to sail in all July. Mohawk, Wetherly, 10th July. Missouri, Lark, arrived there 21st of June.

Lines to a Lady, coy to the Author who reduced himself to penury, in consequence of the generosity of his temper.
Ungenerous and mistaken maid, To scorn me thus, because I'm poor, Canst thou my liberal hand upbraid? For dealing round my WORTHLESS ORE? To spare's the wish of little souls, The great but gather to bestow; Ton torrent down the mountain rolls But stagnates in the swamp below.
The ship Ulysses, Capt Lamb, has arrived at Boston from Canton, under jury masts. In the Indian Ocean she met a heavy gale and was obliged to throw over 500 chests of tea; the ship was dismasted, and the whole of the remaining cargo damaged.
Under the Salem head, several letters from Leghorn will be found.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
THE ABOLITION OF DEBTS.
When Agis, king of Sparta, obtained a vote to cancel all debts due from one citizen to another, and all bonds, and contracts were accordingly committed to the flames; Agelaus, one of the Spartan patriots, who happened at the same time to be much in debt, was so delighted with the spectacle, that he declared, He had never seen so fine and clear a fire before.
How would some of the American patriots rejoice to see the debts they owe to British subjects cancelled in the same manner? Rather than miss of so great a boon, they would consent to have them converted into smoke, even by the blaze of a war between the two countries.
In general, there are no men so active in exciting either foreign or civil broils as those who are deeply in debt. The reason is plain: most of them are as void of moral honesty, as they are loud, and arrogant, in their pretensions to public virtue.
It would be a problem in politics, that the same people, who have studiously avoided a war with one nation (from a professed love of peace) though it seemed necessary to protect their honor, and assert their rights, should be eager to draw the sword against another, to avoid paying a just and ancient arrearage; if we did not know that the former is a poor, and the latter a rich nation, and that the debtors of the one, for the most part, are not the creditors of the other.
[The following Essay we copy from the Augusta Herald; it contains impartial sentiments.]
WHATEVER political differences may exist between Great-Britain and France, there is one point in which their respective cruisers are perfectly agreed, as if their conduct was the result of conventional agreement; and that is to commit depredations on the American commerce...
Blessed as we are with a government of our choice, securing to every individual an equal portion of social advantages, where no citizen can possess any exclusive privileges, and where oppression can be known only by name, the spirit of party should cease, and every individual should endeavour to contribute all in his power to the general good.

From the Boston Columbian Centinel.
THE JEFFERSONIAD
N. VIII.
THE hand of that overruling providence, (the existence of which Mr. Jefferson's works have implicitly denied) has been repeatedly and signally manifested in the public affairs of the United States.
It is my intention to consider its authenticity and then to republish it with remarks illustrative, explanatory and liberal.
The famous letter made its first appearance in the "Gazette Nationale, ou le Moniteur Universel" at Paris, on the 25th January 1797.
I now pledge myself to prove that the evidence that Mr. Jefferson really wrote this letter, is as strong as that of the authenticity of scripture, or of any fact of which we are "not eye or ear witnesses."
In the first place, negatively—no other man could have written it. It was the production of a man well acquainted with parties in America, because, although it is false, it has drawn the line precisely as the Federal party were distinguished by Jacobins here.
Fourthly.—It was very natural that Mr. Jefferson should write such a letter. It will be remembered that this letter was written in 1796, when he was a Candidate for the Presidency.
It was intended as a hint that the aid and influence of France was desirable, and it is accordingly interlarded with the cant phraseology of the ingratitude and injustice of America towards France.
almighty, ever merciful and kind to our country, inclined the hearts of the Directors to this extraordinary breach of confidence.
Thus almost by a miracle, we are in possession of the views and wicked designs of a most abominable faction. I affly, This letter was charged upon Mr. Jefferson in 1797, in language the most plain and with remarks the most criminating.
LETTER. "Our political state hath changed prodigiously since you left us. In place of that noble love of liberty and of a Republican Government which carried us triumphantly through the dangers of war, an anglo-monarchical-aristocratic party has arisen."
Was there then any fellow-citizens any thing ever devised by man, so false and unfounded? Where are the monarchical and aristocratical party? What are the measures they have pursued? That sentiment might be with truth and justice paraphrased to the confusion of Mr. Jefferson.
"The avowed object of this party is to impose upon us the substance, as they have long since given us the form of the British government."
I am extremely at a loss which we ought most to admire, the folly or the falsehood of this sentence. It is false, because Mr. Jefferson and all the world knows that no party in the United States avows such sentiments.
They have remembered their inveterate opposition to its adoption, and they know that such men consider a constitution as a wisp of straw which they can twist and model to their purposes.
cabal; they cannot warm themselves into as much power as they like; it partakes too much of the character of the American people; it is not revolutionary.
I have been more particular on this article because certain writers have strangely obtained admission into the Commercial Gazette, who advocate the very sentiments for which Mr. Jefferson has been justly censured, and this too under the mask of Federalism.
I shall conclude the present number by a paraphrase of this last sentiment of this Jacobin chieftain: "The avowed object of the Jacobins in this country is to protect liberty and support the constitution; their real aim, is to introduce Gallic licentiousness and overturn and destroy the empire of the constitution and the laws."
"DECIDUS."
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
SALEM, August 8.
From LEGHORN.
The brig Sukey, Captain Stewart, from Leghorn, which he left on the 18th of June. The prevailing accounts at Leghorn respecting the operations of the hostile armies, seem to be quite irreconcilable with those we have by the way of London.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this town dated Leghorn, June 13.
"Since the capture of Genoa, Buonaparte with 30 or 40,000 men has made an entry into Italy, which so much increased the fears of the people of this country, that an entire stop was put to business, as they were fearful of his arrival here.
"No less than 1800 inhabitants died in Genoa during the siege, for want of provisions."
"I have just seen a letter from Bordeaux of May 4, which says the commissioners were settling every thing to their entire satisfaction, and were to return to America the first of this month, and that a ship had failed from thence to the Isle of France."
Captain Ettypalce, who arrived at Marblehead on Tuesday last in 44 days from Lisbon, has handed us the following for publication: "At my departure the fate of Genoa was not known; Buonaparte had been journeying towards Italy, but it was reported that he was on his way back to Paris.
"Six thousand troops passed (from England) for the Mediterranean the 13th of June; and two divisions had gone before them.
"The privateers from Guernsey and Jersey have orders to capture all vessels bound to, or coming from, Genoa or Cadiz; in consequence of which two American vessels had already been captured, and brought into the port of Lisbon, viz. the brig Peacock, of Boston, captain David Crafts, laden with wines, from Cadiz, for London; the whole being the property of Ebenezer Parsons, esq., of Boston; the crew turned ashore at Lisbon; the other the brig King Solomon, captain James Hewett, from Amsterdam, bound to Cadiz, owned by Benjamin Hill, of Newport, the cargo consisting of butter, cheese, &c. for account of Hamburg both; vessels bound to England for adjudication.
"King's Billets in Madrid 74 per cent. discount; Portuguese Government Notes from 18 to 20 per cent. discount. "By letters of the 29th May from the Emperor of Morocco's Dominions, the

plague raged to a great height at Tangiers and other ports.
PETERSBURG, August 8.
It is really melancholy to hear the distressing accounts of the deaths in the borough of Norfolk. Several persons from that town, and letters received from thence, represent the number of deaths from six to twelve of a day. Did not these accounts come from a variety of persons we should be inclined to disbelieve them--because we would not wish to believe that the physicians and corporate body of Norfolk would withhold the necessary information, if real danger was to be apprehended, particularly as it is well known that the lives of our fellow-citizens, whose business calls them to Norfolk, are involved in the issue. Whether it be a bilious fever or a malignant yellow fever that prevails at Norfolk, we cannot learn--it is said to be very fatal--and in either case it is indispensably necessary that the public should be fairly and rightly informed on a subject so interesting to humanity.
HARRISBURG, August 10.
A fellow, who calls himself Thomas Ryan, was on Wednesday last taken up in Middletown, and committed to the jail of this borough, for larceny--It is said he is one of those who lately made their escape from the Philadelphia prison.

LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, June 18. Quiberon, and a New Expedition. The London Gazette of last night contains a dispatch from Sir Edward Pellew, dated on board the Impetueux on the 7th inst. the substance of which we stopped the press yesterday to announce. It gives an account of the squadron under his command having on the 4th made an attack on Quiberon, and silenced the forts, and captured and destroyed some vessels on the 6th. The same squadron having been reinforced, succeeded in an attempt upon the Morbihan, in which it also took and burnt some small craft. The great advantage derived from this expedition, is stated by Sir Edward Pellew to have been the complete stoppage of all the coaling trade between the different ports on that coast, with the provisions and wine for the Breft fleet; and we are happy to state that this advantage has been procured with the loss of very few of our brave men, either in the Navy or army.
COWES, June 23. The Ha-rem of 54 guns and nine more of his Majesty's ships, armed en flute, have dropped down to these roads, from Spithead to take on board the 52d and four other regiments now in camp at Netley. Orders are given for their immediate embarkation, and to sail without delay, on a secret expedition, under major-general Lord Cowan. The expedition that has been so long preparing in this country is about to be put in activity without delay. All the transport ports that have been hired, of which the number exceeds those employed in the expedition against Holland, are stipulated to be in readiness on his day. The quantity of tonnage required has made shipping most extremely scarce; so much so, that the Transport board has just engaged the Cornwallis, Overdale, Walpole and Contractor Indian men as transports. The whole expedition is expected to be embarked by the 15th of next month.
June 21. According to accounts received yesterday at the admiralty from Plymouth, we have the satisfaction to learn the capture or destruction of nearly an entire fleet of Victuallers belonging to the enemy, in the Bay of Audierne, consisting of fifty sail, by a detachment of the Channel Fleet, under the command of Sir J. B. Warren. The ship of war which conveyed them has been taken; eleven of the prizes, two of which are brigs, two sloops and seven luggers, all laden with brandy, wine and flour, are arrived at Plymouth, and the vessels which could not be cut out of the bay, were mostly, if not all driven on shore. The convoy was bound to Breft, and laden with wines and provisions for the use of the fleet in that port, which chiefly depends on the supplies from the southern ports for its maintenance. This spirited enterprise, we are happy to observe, has been executed without any considerable loss, two British seamen only having been killed. It has been for some time past understood, that the French and Spanish fleets were in want of several necessary articles of supply, both with respect to fulfilment and equipment, and this successful achievement must encrease their distress. Letters received yesterday morning at the admiralty from Lord St. Vincent, have brought advice from the Grand Fleet of a very recent date. Some of his Lordship's cruisers had looked into Breft water, and observed the Combined fleet dressed out in great pomp in the Republican colors. They also heard a general salute fired in celebration, as it was supposed, of some successes obtained by the armies.
Proclamation by General Moreau. Head-Quarters, Babenhausen, June 14. "Disorder is at its height--pillage, and the abuse of our resources, which had procured our victories, have reduced us to famine; in the midst of plenty--it is not sufficient for an army to be brave; for if order be not very soon restored amongst us, it will be necessary to put a stop to our conquests and return home. Persecuted by the hatred and resentment of a people, in the midst of whom our rear at much be exposed, we shall have to engage with new enemies; and upon our arrival in France find ourselves exposed to the reproaches of the whole republic--soldiers! we owe peace to our country! We are charged to favour the movements of the army of Italy under the first Consul. But if pillage, to which a great number of you have abandoned yourselves, does not immediately cease, all your triumphs shall be converted into the most shameful defeat. The General in Chief strictly enjoins that no man shall deviate, in the least, from the order of marching in his column. The roll-call shall also be made three times in the day. A body of troops shall occupy all the villages near the camp; and if the officers commanding there shall be guilty of any disorders they shall be immediately cashiered. Patrols shall be made by the Grenadiers and piquets of cavalry to seize upon every one found absent from his post. The general in fine reckons upon the obedience of each brave soldier of all ranks, who without doubt will form the greatest part of his army, and he expects their concurrence in the punishment of the base and unworthy. From Gen. Dessoles, to the Minister at War. He d-Quarters at Babenhausen, 25 Prairial, (June 14.) Citizen Minister; After the Battle of the 16th (June 5.) when General Kray failed in his attack on our left, the commander in chief determined to cause General Lecourbe to march again towards the Lech. This General began his march on the 21st, and took a position on the Westrach, where he learned that the enemy had cut down all the bridges on the Lech. and that on account of the height of the water, it was no longer possible to cross that river by fording it; He however marched on the 22d towards Kaufungen, where he found the enemy in a position, as if they meant to defend the passage with their infantry and artillery. Our soldiers threw themselves into the river, crossed it by swimming, and the enemy were defeated. The bridge was soon after re-established. The passage between Zulaus and Lechausen was also forced, two pieces of cannon were employed in firing grape-shot. Of the wreck of the bridge, there remained only one beam on the pier; it was sufficient for the carabiniers of the 10th Light Infantry to force a passage to repulse the enemy, and to take from them two pieces of cannon; some prisoners remained in our hands among whom are a captain and 20 Hussars of Granitz. I shall send you the names of the intrepid Carabiniers, and of a trumpeter of the Light Artillery, who having passed the fourth mounted on horseback the pieces taken, and pursued the enemy, lounding the charge. LONDON. Sir Edward Pellew to Lord St. Vincent. Impetueux, at Quiberon, June 7. My Lord--I have the honour to inform your Lordship of my arrival at this anchorage with the ships under my orders on the 2d inst, and in my way down collected the Thais. On the 3d, I was joined by the Amyntor, Amelia, and Winchester troopship. On the 4th, the Thames, Cynthia, and a small force, attacked the South-west end of Quiberon, silenced the forts, which were afterwards destroyed by a party of troops landed under Maj. Ramsay; several vessels were brought off and some scuttled, the only loss two killed and one wounded on board the Cynthia. On the 5th, the Ramillies joined with the Diadem, Inconstant, and Viper cutter, and on the 6th, before day, we succeeded in an attempt upon the Morbihan, from whence were taken two brigs, two sloops, two gun-vessels, and about 100 prisoners; corvette brig L'Inconstant, of 18 guns, was burnt, with several other small craft, the guns all destroyed, and the magazine blown up. Three hundred of the Queen's regiment were employed upon this service; and the gun launches and naval force were under the direction of Lieut. John Pinfold, of this ship, who boarded the corvette with much bravery, and performed the service with much judgment and officer-like conduct; the loss was only one man killed in his boat, and some slight hurts. A lieutenant of the Thames, and some few men in different ships have been wounded since there; but I am happy to say all the coaling trade between the different parts has been most completely stopped, with the provisions and wine for the Breft Fleet. Captain Martin to Admiral Warren. Fijgard off Pennarks, June 11. S.R. In pursuance of the directions you gave me yesterday evening, two boats from each ship named in the margin, assembled on board the Fijgard, in order to attack the convoy lying at St. Croix; and at eleven o'clock, being as near the shore as the darkness of the night would permit, (and the mode of attack previously determined,) they proceeded under the command of the following officers; lieut. Burke, Renown, Lieuts. Dean and Gerrard, Fijgard; lieutenant Stamp, Defence; and Lieutenant Prince, Unicorn; but the wind being fresh from the South-East prevented her reaching the above anchorage till after day-light, when in opposition to a heavy battery, three armed vessels and a constant fire of musketry from the shore, they took the three armed vessels and eight others, laden with supplies for the fleet in Breft; the rest, amounting to 20 sail, ran upon the rocks, where many of them will certainly be lost. I have the pleasure to assure you that the officers and men employed on this service, shewed a degree of zeal and intrepidity that can only be equalled by the cool, steady conduct, which I had the satisfaction to observe in them, when passing through a very intricate navigation, under a constant discharge of cannon from the shore. Lieutenant Burke and Dean speak highly in favor of Mr. Jane, acting Lieutenant of the Renown, Mr. Fleming, Mate of the Fijgard, and Lieutenant Killogrivoff of the Russian service (a volunteer); and I am glad they have had the opportunity of recommending themselves to your notice. The enemy lost several officers and men; and I am sorry to annex the names of several wounded in our boats. F. B. MARTIN. Renown, Fijgard, Defence and Unicorn. Two of the mutineers of the Danz frigate carried into France, were leaders in the mutiny on board the Hermione. They are not British subjects.
