The Legislature of this State by joint vote elected a Senator of the United States, and this is brought forward as a precedent that they should by joint vote elect electors of President and Vice President. To show that this proceeding was unconstitutional, and the mode in which it was done, was indecent and ought not to be regarded as a precedent, we publish the following account of that Democratic measure from Mr. Dunlap's paper of February 28, 1793.
Mr. Dunlap,
EVERY member of the community is interested in the public conduct of his representatives, and has a right to examine it with a manly though decent firmness. In ordinary cases, a prudent and well disposed man, will confine himself to a calm discussion; but abuses which insult the understanding, and degrade the dignity of freemen call for severe animadversion—if they arise from ignorance, they excite our pity—if from corruption, our abhorrence, and sometimes, when we are at a loss to distinguish, a mixture of both.
I am led to these remarks, from the reading of a resolution which has lately passed in the Senate of Pennsylvania, and has since been adopted by the house of representatives, and approved of by the governor—It is as follows:
"The members of each branch of the legislature, shall meet in the senate-chamber on Thursday next, and then and there, elect a senator to represent this state in the senate of the United States."
So much has been said and written on the question—Whether a senator ought, agreeably to the constitution of the United States, and of that of Pennsylvania, to be chosen by a concurrent vote of each branch of the legislature, or by a joint vote of the members of both branches collectively taken? that I shall only observe as the constitution of the United States declares, that "The senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, chosen by the legislature thereof," and as the constitution of Pennsylvania declares, that "The legislative power thereof, shall be vested in a general assembly; which shall consist of a senate and house of representatives," it is, at least to my mind extremely clear, that the members of the two branches, thrown into a heterogeneous mass, are not the constitutional electors of a senator for the United States. And it seems to be equally clear, that the consolidating of the two branches into one body, so as to destroy that mutual check; which the convention for wise purposes, thought proper to provide, as an equal violation of both constitutions.
I will not dilate on this subject, since to minds at all enlightened it cannot be necessary, and I am not disposed to waste argument, by throwing it away on those which are not so.
The seceding of members with the design of breaking up the house is a high misdemeanor, and punishable as such, and yet perhaps it is no less an offence to fashion an unconstitutional measure by acting under it.
The extraordinary manner in which the resolution was hurried thro' the two houses, will perhaps account for some of its imperfections. During the many alterations which took place on the question whether a senator should be chosen by a concurrent vote of each branch of the legislature, or by a joint vote of the members of both branches assembled together, a majority of the senate "was in favour of a concurrent vote, and a majority of the house of representatives in favour of a joint one. In the senate however there were some flickers for the latter mode, and so eager were they to carry the point, as not only to seize the opportunity of the temporary absence of some temporary absence of some members, but as if they read their return, they proposed and passed the resolutions on the same morning, and contrary to all experience (unless where unanimous consent is obtained) they on the same morning, ordered them to be sent to the house of representatives, thereby precluding an opportunity for their reconsideration, at the reading of the minutes the next morning, as is usual in other cases.
This extreme eagerness to take advantage of the temporary absence of members, in order to carry a favourite object, may perhaps account for the ghostly shape in which the resolutions were hurried thro' the senate. In the H. of R. sufficient time for reflection might with safety have been allowed but however exceptional the resolution were it might not have been deemed fite to return them to the senate with amendments lest the majority in that body might be changed by a return of some of its members—What passed in the house of Representatives I do not particularly know, but it seems impossible to suppose, but that one of the leaders at least, must have been struck with the exceptional parts of the resolutions—He however let it pass and many members of good plain understanding and upright intentions, are so accustomed to being led by one or two talkative members that it is the most likely they gave themselves but very little trouble about the matter—I hope however that from this instance as well as from others they will learn the useful lesson, of seeing and judging for themselves, instead of trusting too much to others, merely because they talk more.
As I do not suppose that the Governor,
thought a minute on the subject before approving the resolutions, or took the least pains to consider whether they were constitutional or not, I will not impute to him any improper designs.
A PHILADELPHIAN
POETRY.
[The uncommon success of the song writer, Dibden, in the introduction of maritime metaphors is well known to the generality of readers. In none of his interlacing sea ballads is a good heart as well as a lively imagination more discernible than in the following well supported allegory.]
TWO real tars whom duty call'd To watch on the foretop, Thus one another over haul'd And took a cheering drop. I say, Will Hatchway, cried Tom Tow, Of conduct which's your fort, As though the voyage of life you go To bring you safe to port?
BOSTON, October 31.
President's Birth Day.
Yesterday JOHN ADAMS, Esquire, the First Officer in the American Republic, entered the 66th year of his active and valuable life. The unfeigned eagerness of his fellow citizens to commemorate his birth, was equal to that of any former occasion. Impotent have been the attempts to diminish the warm affection and lessen the full confidence of the great body of his countrymen. They feel that he is their friend, and under his administration rest in certain security. Let his opponents console themselves with the fancied merits of JEFFERSON—his adherents have the proud satisfaction of knowing that his talents and virtues are obvious.
The morning was welcomed by a discharge of Artillery—and the ringing of all the bells of the town. The Artillery Companies commanded by Capt. Johnson and Bray—the Window Blues, under Capt. Mellinger, and the Republican Volunteers, under Capt. Sturton, honored themselves by a public appearance. At noon, a grand salute was fired by the Artillery Companies and by the ships of war lying in the harbour. All the vessels displayed their colors.
A fine and very respectable Company, attended an elegant Entertainment at Concert-Hall.—The patriotic sentiments of this federal republican circle are exhibited in the following
TOASTS:
 1. The MAN whose anniversary arrives to place him among the foremost in Order of Time; first in the List of Merit, JOHN ADAMS, the Archime of the Pyramid: May the Weight of his Character, consolidate, by its pressure, all the component parts of the Structure.  2. The Constitution—whilst its Base is extended over the utmost Limits of our Country, may its Apex, rise to the Regions of Inspiration and Glory.  3. The Memory of GEORGE WASHINGTON, and the sacred Sentiments it excites.  4. Commonwealth of Massachusetts—conspicuous in the Federal Cause, as in the Eminence of her First Magistrate.  5. Governor STRONG—Pure in principle, temperate in discussion and magnanimous in Retaliation.  6. Our envoys to France—Moderation in their manners, Firmness in their measures, and Success in their Mission.  7. The Four Secretaries—The rectangular Balance of Power, may they support the executive, in the Centre.  8. Our Infant Navy; May the Eagle who perches on the Pines of the American Forest, never desert the Top of his Favourite Tree, when transplanted to the Ocean.  9. The Federal Cause; Perpetuity to its Principles, Unity to its Interest, and Individuality to its Views.  10. Remember Federalists! Your Compact, like Rupert's Drop, is the coalition of disadvent Particles, immersed in their opposite Element; Union is the cementary Point break it, and you are dispersed to Atoms.  11. Honest Men and Leige, If in one Point their hopes and wishes centre; if with one heart, to ADAMS they rest true; come all the force of Faction's Friends, in arms, and they will shock them.  12. Faction; May its Convulsions give Strength to Federalism, as the Bitumen of Babylon required Durability from the Action of Time.  13. First Principles; May they never be deferred for immaterial Differences.  14. May Wounds received by divided Friends, from the Political Taranula of the Season, be healed by the full-toned Chorus of ADAMS & LIBERTY.  15. Whenever Jacobinism extends its Sphere, may it, like the Circle in the Pool, annihilate its Strength. 
16. May the Pumpkin of New England, always overspread and destroy Poisonous Exotics, on the Field of Patriotism. At night the Columbian Museum was Splendidly illuminated; and the Theatre was opened. At Charlesstown, the festive board was incited by the grateful citizens. In the evening, a Concert was given, and an Oration was delivered at the Meeting House.—The receipts were appropriated to the use of the Organist. Mr. L. Mellen was the Orator. At Salem the Day was celebrated with conviviality.
CHARLESTON, October 8.
Mr. Charles Pinckney has admitted, that it was he who moved for the limitation of Mr. Adam's residence as Minister in London to three years, instead of "during pleasure," as had been usual; but he says he had no interested motive. But several writers say, he has been heard to express without reserve, a strong desire for a foreign mission. This Mr. Pinckney, is the democratic senator from South Carolina, and not of the family of Thomas and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney. Mr. Adams evidently mistook them for the same family. It undoubtedly must have surprised him, to know that a Pinckney limited his embassy, and that a Pinckney succeeded him with an unlimited commission—and suspicions were naturally created when he found the British Minister particular in his enquiries about these very Pinckneys, as he supposed. But they are discovered to be persons of different sentiments. Major Pinckney never sought the situation of minister to the Court of Great Britain—and did not know he was thought of for the office, till the Secretary of State informed him of his appointment. These are facts.

LONDON Sept. 24.
Yesterday arrived a Lisbon Mail, bringing accounts down to the date of the 11th inst. It now appears, that all apprehensions of a war with Spain have suddenly subsided; perhaps no apprehensions were ever entertained on this subject to the extent rumoured. The plan, however, it is said, has been entirely given up by the Court of Madrid. The dispatches which carried this welcome intelligence to Lisbon arrived there just after the unsuccessful attempt made by our fleet upon Ferrol.
Our letters from Lisbon state, that thirteen or fourteen ships, richly loaded, lately sailed from Maranhon, under the protection of two brigs, they fell in with a French frigate and a brig, who sunk one of the brigs in the action; and it is feared have taken the greatest part of the convoy, as only one vessel has yet made its appearance.
There is report that Ministers mean to assemble Parliament sooner than was intended. The want of money can be the only reason for this:—the Expeditions must have cost a great deal of expence, though that expence, being foreseen, must have been provided for. It always happens that the calls for money exceed what the most extravagant calculations had anticipated, and therefore money may be wanted. We do not, however, vouch for the truth of the report.
PETERSBURG, September 2.

On the following day, the 20th of September the following Act was signed:  Convention for the prolongation of the suspension of arms between the French army of the Rhine and the army of his Imperial Majesty in Germany.  "The Count de Lehiback, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty in the Empire and with his army in Germany, and the Baron de Lauer, Field Marshal of the armies of his Majesty, on the one part, and the General of Brigade of the French army of the Rhine, Victor Faman Laborie, on the other part, charged reciprocally with the full powers necessary for concluding, signing a Convention relative to the prolongation of the suspension of arms, have agreed as follows:  Art. 1st. His Imperial and Royal Majesty, on the demand of the First Consul of the French Republic, and with the view of giving a proof of his desire to stop the scourge of war, consents that the fortresses of Philippsburgh and Ulm, with the fortresses which depend on them, and that of Ingolstadt, which are comprehended within the line of demarcation which was fixed on by the convention of the 15th of July last, shall be put at the disposal of the French army, as a pledge of his intentions.  2d. The garrisons which are in the fortresses shall depart freely with all that belongs to them, and shall go to the Imperial army of Germany.  3d. The evacuation of these places, as well as the garrisons as of the stores of every kind, shall take place without delay, within ten days at farthest. There shall for this purpose be furnished by the French army, all the accommodations which are in its power to the means of making transports of every kind, which shall be at the charge of his Royal and Imperial Majesty. As to the occupation of one of the gates upon the principal communications, they shall, after the interval of five days, be given up to the French army. The choice of them shall be determined by delegates, who shall be immediately sent, with the shortest possible delay, to examine their state.  4th. The warlike stores, and those of provisions, and the military chests, shall also be removed. The same thing shall be done with the artillery, with the exception of that of the Empire. This latter shall be examined and certified by delegates appointed for the purpose.  5th. It shall be determined without delay, by a particular convention, what shall be the means of transport, and of the evacuation of these places, as well as what shall be the means of subsisting and removing the sick, who cannot be transported with the garrisons.  6th. By means of the above arrangements, there shall be a prolongation of the armistice, and of a suspension of hostilities between the army of his Imperial and Royal Majesty and his allies, and the army of the Rhine of the French Republic, for forty-five days, to count from to-morrow, and comprehending fifteen days for ultimatum of the resumption of hostilities, if they are to be resumed.  7th. The General in Chief of the army of the Rhine, engages to procure a cessation of hostilities on the part of the army of the French Republic in Italy, in case they have there been resumed.  8th. The line of demarcation fixed by the Convention of the 15th of July, is preserved in all its details under the modification comprehended in the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th articles of this agreement, and under those herein after mentioned.  9th. The French army of the Rhine shall return, and be stationary on the two banks of the Iler, and the Imperial army of Germany upon the two banks of the Inn, each at the distance of 3000 toises, either from these rivers, or from places upon their course. There shall only be placed a chain of advanced posts upon the line of demarcation, fixed by the convention of the 15th of July last.  10th. The dispositions of the above-mentioned convention shall be executed in every thing which is contrary to the present. Article 8th of that convention, of the 15th of July, is not only applicable to the inhabitants of the places above-mentioned in all its dispositions, but the General in Chief is at the same time invited to take into consideration the situation in which these inhabitants have been placed by the misfortune of war.  11th. The present convention shall be sent by couriers to all the commanders of corps of the respective armies, both in Germany and Italy, with the greatest expedition so that not only hostilities may be, and may remain suspended, but so that the putting it in execution may be begun immediately, and finished in the term absolutely necessary, regard being had to distance.  12th. There shall be named, by the Generals in Chief of the two Armies, Delegates for the execution of the articles of the above Convention, who shall see to the execution.

General Clarke shall immediately repair to Luneville, and take every step necessary for holding a Congress.  4. The Minister at War is charged with the execution of the present decree.    (SIGNED)  BUONAPARTE.  LONDON, October 1.  The last Paris Papers contain the following extract of a letter from Barcelona, dated September 5:—"Cabanes, the Consul of the Batavian Republic had two frigates in our Roads fitted out on account of his Government and bound for Batavia. On the 25th or 26th of August an English ship of the line & two frigates hove in sight, & reconnoitred these vessels for several days. On the 4th of September the English seized a Swedish merchantman, on board of which they put from 3 to 400 men, who approached the frigates in the dusk of the evening without being observed from the forts. By nine o'clock the frigates which had on board 400,000 of reals, and 48 pieces of brass cannon entirely new, and the finest in the arsenal had fallen into the hands of the enemy, after a feeble resistance. The crew of one of the frigates whose numbers were very few contented themselves with making a few discharges only of musquetry. The English however, in order to deceive the garrison, continued to fire as if the frigates were defending themselves—This stratagem succeeded, and the forts did not open their fire until it was too late. As to the Swedish vessel, the Pilot having observed that it was contrary to the law of nations to compel her to aid their criminal purpose, they answered him by discharging a pistol at him and killing him, on the spot. They also fractured the leg of one of the sailors, and ill-treated the Captain, clapping a pistol to his throat."  A letter from Barcelona dated the 7th of September, in the French papers, states that the distemper which rages at Cadiz, is neither the plague nor the yellow fever. It assigns no name to this epidemic disorder which carries off great numbers of people. It is justly considered at Barcelona as very strange that no precautions had been taken to prevent its introduction there.  We are extremely sorry to learn, by authentic letters from Cadiz, of the 5th ult. the latest date in town, that the mortality in that city has been much greater than there was reason to suppose. The epidemic disorder, or, as some suppose it the plague, which prevails there, carried off no fewer than 3600 persons between the 18th of August and the 5th of September, on which day 207 persons died. The disorder generally carries off those whom it attacks, on the 3d or 4th day. The first symptoms are a pain in the limbs and bones, and violent vomiting. About 30,000 inhabitants have fled the city, and about 40,000 remain in it. No person is now suffered to leave Cadiz, and a cordon of troops is drawn along the peninsula to prevent any intercourse with the country.  We some time since announced that several districts in China had been inundated by the overflowing of the Tay and Kiam rivers. Recent accounts state the consequences to have been most calamitous.—The vast quantities of slime and mud left on the subsiding of the water, and the accumulation of putrid bodies with which its surface had been covered, has occasioned a malignant epidemic disorder, which had proved fatal to upwards of 100,000 persons.  October 2.  A gentleman at New-York, in a letter dated the 24th July last, says, that in America the crops of grain were never so abundant: and we may hope that government will turn this happy circumstance to the advantage of this country, by a plentiful importation.  Notwithstanding the long prolongation of the armistice, large bodies of Dutch troops have just been sent from Holland to the Rhine.  October 3.  Among other extracts from the Paris papers, received on Wednesday, we have given this day some interesting, but evidently misrepresented particulars, concerning the capture by the English of two frigates, under Spanish colours, at Barcelona, brief mention of which was made in this paper some time since; as also a speculative article from the Moniteur , the object of which is to represent our naval superiority as degrading to Europe, with a view to inspire other nations with a spirit of resistance to us; to prevail upon them to shut their ports to our commerce; or even to combine against us offensively should the war continue. Perusing this curious paper throughout, it reminds us much of the speech of the mouse in the fable, who recommenced hanging a bell about the cat's neck!  Nothing further has transpired respecting the maritime armistice. The papers which pledged their reputation for its having been signed some days since, observe a sullen silence on the occasion.

MR. WAYNE,
It appears as if the present was to be an age of experiment in the science of government. We had strong hopes but a little while previous to the commencement of the 18th century, that the American nation bid fair to set a bright example to the world, of a people being so enlightened and virtuous, as to be able to establish and maintain a republican government, on the pure principles of equal representation. The present posture of affairs, is however, very discouraging, and damps the flattering prospect.
It is believed, that the leaders of the anti-federalists "mediate a change in our government, and in dissolving the confederacy." One of the best patriots, and ablest politicians in Virginia (now no more) gave it as his opinion, in a letter of the 8th of January, 1799, "that this was the system of the "leaders of the faction, in that state, or otherwise they had no system."
The question arises, to what is this owing? It may be answered generally, in a few words. It arises principally from the pride & ambition of certain demagogues in the state just mentioned, who have acquired a dangerous influence over the people; and to the hot bed of sedition in Pennsylvania, composed of her adopted sons and deluded citizens. It does not proceed so much from any clashing of local or commercial interests, as from habit and temper. Unfortunately for the union, the state we live in, is likely to act a conspicuous part in the scene, whenever it is attempted. Added to those of her own natural born citizens, her importation of factious spirits, has probably been greater than that of all the other states put together. This accounts for her bad state of society.
In such a state of things, other enquiries will naturally arise in the feeling and reflecting mind; such as what are to be the consequences, and is there no remedy? Are the states for which the present government is suitable, and to whom it is agreeable, to be deprived of its advantages? It was asked why the Democrats would not make good governors. I would answer? It is as impossible for those men, who dislike wholesome laws and good government, to be wise administrators; as it is for a man who disbelieves in the scriptures, to make a good subordinate teacher of christianity. Every Democrat dislikes, and it is not to be expected in the nature of things, that a man will readily approve of a law, that is sufficiently strong to curb his own licentious disposition. Another trait of such a man's character is, that he is unsteady, and always in favour of novelty and change.
A congeniality of temper and disposition, unites such people together in every part of the world, and makes them wage eternal war against the sober minded part of the community, who think and act differently.
It would be one of the greatest curses that could befall a virtuous people, to be governed by men, who are wrong both in their principles and practice. That man's political morality must be unsound, that does not feel a common interest in the welfare and preservation of a good government.

A gentleman has favoured us with several late London Papers, received by the recent arrivals at this port, extracts from which will be found in this day's Gazette. Several Marine articles, taken from these papers are arranged under the Marine Lift.
The President of the United States, occupies at the city of Washington, the spacious building erected for the accommodation of our Chief Magistrate.
The Legislature of Maryland was to meet at Annapolis on Monday last.
Extract of a Letter, dated Paris, 1st Fructidor, 8th year, from a Counsellor of State, to his friend in Philadelphia.
"La Fayette, Adet, La Forest, and myself, were invited by the American Envoys, on the fourth of July, to celebrate the American Anniversary of Independence with them. I trust we shall ere long be replaced, with regard to the United States, in that friendly situation, from which our pirates in the West-Indies, had first driven us, and out of which reciprocal wrongs have since kept the two governments."
The Elector of Cologne has appointed the Archduke Charles to be his heir.
The Paris Journals represent the preparations by Spain as immense. The Spanish army, they say, is already ready to march, it consists of 70,000 Infantry, and 8,000 cavalry. The General in Chief is M. d'Urratia. It is asserted that he will be able to commence hostilities by the middle of October; and the court of Lisbon have nothing to oppose to such a formidable army.
Last Tuesday week a fire broke out at Newport R. I. in the house of Daniel Duran, Esq. late of Baltimore, the family made their escape with difficulty, one Negroe man was burnt to death.
From the New York Daily Advertiser. INTERESTING.
French Commissioners to this Country. It is reported, and we have reason to believe there is good foundation for it, that Mr. Otto, and Mr. De la Forest, who were formerly in this country, in the Diplomatic line, are appointed by the French Government to come out to this country as Commissioners to settle the differences existing between the two countries.
(The above was handed us yesterday from a respectable source—it came by the Dispatch from St. Sebastians.)
From late London Papers.
The two French Commissioners who were condemned to eight years confinement in irons, by a council of war, have escaped from the prison of Memmingen, along with three French soldiers. They succeeded in breaking their fetters and the bars of the prison, by the assistance of English files.
The Emperor, according to a letter from Strasburg, has ratified the treaty of subsides with England, with a reservation of right to conclude peace with France.
On Monday se'nnight, being the hundred anniversary of the birth of Thomson, several gentlemen met at Endham, the place of his nativity, for the purpose of celebrating the memory of their illustrious countryman. The day was spent with a degree of harmony and social mirth worthy of the occasion, and which, we trust, will ever characterize a meeting instituted for a purpose so laudable.
A few days since, a Frenchman gained a bet of 50 guineas, by eating at a house in Piccadilly, 22 dozen, or 244 of the largest Oysters, raw from the shell, which he swallowed within an hour, with two bottles of sherry and 3 pounds of white bread!
The present riots in different parts of the country prove what erroneous notions the mob entertained of the means of rendering provisions cheap. In order to lower the price of bread, we find them, in more than one instance, destroying the flour and burning the mills!

THAT Handsome and healthy COUNTRY SEAT, called LAUREL LODGE, the late residence of Thomas Rutter, Esq. Situate in Pott's Grove, Montgomery County, thirty-six miles from Philadelphia, containing about 200 acres, twenty of which are prime woodland, fifteen excellent watered meadow, the residue divided in arable lots. On the premises are a large handsome Brick House and adjoining buildings, containing two parlours, a large dining room, and a Hall, twelve feet wide, by forty long, a large kitchen, wash house with a pump of excellent water in it, six handsome chambers, two store-rooms, four garret chambers plastered and a grass room over the adjoining building, a double spring house, with a smoke house over the same, with thirty yards of the kitchen—The spring, in the driest season never known to lower in the least, and from which the meadow is watered; a garden containing about one acre, stocked with the most delicious fruits, such as peaches, plums, cherries, pears, raspberries, &c. several asparagus beds in great perfection. Also, a young bearing apple orchard, containing several hundred trees, the fruit selected from different parts of the United States, a large convenient barn with a threshing floor, with commodious stabling for horses and cows, carriage and house, grain room, &c. Also, a handsome outbuilding, consisting of a large frame poultry-house and corncrib, &c. Also, a tenant's house, garden and stable, and a pump of excellent water belonging to the same.
The situation of Pott's Grove is remarkably healthy, regularly supplied with butcher's meat and poultry in abundance, to be purchased at a low rate, and the Schuylkill affords a pleasant supply of excellent fish. Two grist mills in the rear of the town. Perhaps few country towns in Pennsylvania are more rapidly improving, or have more local advantages than Pott's Grove. The several places of public worship, the Liberty of the air, central society, and cheapness of living, are among the few advantages it possesses.
Any person wishing to view the premises, will please to apply to Mr. Wm. POTTS, in Pott's Grove, and for terms to the subscriber in Philadelphia.

FROM BATAVIA.
By the brig Globe, William Gardner, master, from Batavia. On the 15th may left the United States frigate Essex, Edward Preble, Esq. commander, arrived at Batavia. Captain P. gave notice that he had come out to convey the American trade to the United States. That he should sail by the middle of June, that being about the time the vessel (then at Batavia) would be ready, four days after the arrival of the Essex in Batavia Roads. Captain P. (without waiting to indulge himself or crew, after so long a passage) laid on a cruise, and on the 9th June returned to Batavia, no French cruizers being in the freights.
On the 15th the Essex sailed from Batavia with a fleet of fourteen sail of merchantmen, viz. ships China, Jonah; Dominick, Perry, Fleming; John Buckley, Stokely; Dispatch, Benner, and brig Delaware, Donupley, of and bound to Philadelphia. Ships Nancy, Hobbs; Samuel Wood, Sturdivant; Hester, Hayward, of and bound to Baltimore. Brigs Lydia, Barnard; Sally, Hall, of and bound for Boston. Brig Exchange, Webb, Salem. Brig Lawwing, Clap, New York. Ship Juno, Smith, Rhode Island. Left at Batavia, ship Magins, Holly, to sail in a few days for Philadelphia; ship Rebecca of do. M'Keever, bound to China. Ships Mercury, of Boston, Franklin, and Fair American, and a brig, name unknown, all of Charleston, last from the River Plate, destination unknown. While beating down the freights, information was received by Captain Preble, that a French privateer had arrived and captured on the 15th, in the freights, an American ship called the Alknomac, Captain Vickers, of Baltimore, bound to Batavia, and that the Captain, supercargo, and crew had been landed on Java among the natives. The privateer was named La Confiance, commanded by one Soucoff, mounting eighteen nine pounders, and two 24 pound cannonades, and 150 men, from the Isle of France, and who came on purpose to intercept the Americans. The next day the Frenchman was in sight of the fleet. The Essex immediately chased, but night coming on, and falling calm, the Frenchman with the assistance of sweeps, escaped the vigilance of Captain Preble, and Captain P. returned to the protection of the fleet. The day following, Captain P. received information of the arrival in the freights, of another French ship of war, from the Isle of France, mounting thirty two guns, and exclusive of fails, had 150 soldiers on board. On the 25th discovered a large ship of war approaching the fleet, Captain P. immediately made the signal, as the fleet to anchor, and gave chase, the ship (which no doubt, was one of the French cruizers) made off as fast as possible, but being calm and the assistance of her runner, was soon enabled to her again to escape the Essex, though while the breeze lasted the Essex overhauled her fast, no doubt had Captain P. come up with either or both, he would have given a good account of them, his officers and men being in high spirits and very anxious to fall in with the Frenchmen. On the 28th left the freights of Sunday, and on the 15th August the fleet separated in a violent gale of wind off the Bank of Lugal, and on the 11th September, we arrived at St. Helena, where the Essex had arrived the day
before, that Island having been previously appointed by Captain Preble the place of rendezvous for the fleet in case of separation, where he would wait twenty days, left at St. Helena, ships Dominick, Perry, Juno, Nancy, and ship Lydia, belonging to the fleet, and the remainder expected, we cant help expressing our grateful acknowledgements to Captain Preble for his great ability to keep the fleet together and in rendering them all the assistance in his power, and to forward the progress of the whole by towing such as were dull fails.
Captain P. was very much hurt in being obliged to abandon the pursuit of the Frenchmen, to return to the protection of the fleet, had there been another of our men of war, to have protected them in the absence of the Essex, he would have certainly overtaken them as the fails uncommonly fast, there is no doubt but those pirates will materially injure our trade in these seas. It had been very likely in Batavia, Mr. Green, supercargo of the Terry, Mr. Field, of the Magins, and Mr. Reynolds of the China died; besides a number of the crews of the different ships, spoke on the 13th of October, in latitude 22, 22, N. longitude 41, W. the ship Smallwood, Stanford, bound to Batavia, all well, on the 2d inst. spoke the brig James, of New Haven, (off the Cape of Virginia), Trueman, master, from Malaga, bound to New York, out thirty-six days, all well.
