French Tuition, UPON AN ANALYTICAL PLAN. NICHOLAS GOUIN DUFIEF, Professor of the French Language, HAS the honor of informing his Fellow-Cit- izens of Philadelphia, that he will open his school on Monday the 14th of September, at No. 55, fourth Fifth street, and divide his hours of in- struction in the following manner. Attendance on Ladies and Gentlemen, at their own houses, will be given as usual, from 9 o'clock in the morning till 3 in the afternoon. His afternoon and evening school will begin (every other day) from 4 to 6, and from 6 till 9. Pupils from either language into the other, performed with accuracy, elegance, fre- quency and dispatch. N. B.—NICHOLAS G. DUFIEF, respectfully in- vites the Ladies and Gentlemen, ambitious to learn the French, to agree with some of their friends or acquaintances, desirous of receiving in- struction in that universal and improved language, to meet at the same hour and place for mutual in- struction—they may be assured it will be to their advantage to do so, if they persevere with attention the following:—
To the Lovers of the French Language. ADDRESS. IN an age when successful efforts have been made towards the improvement of the art of Thinking and when Analysis has been discovered the universal, and the good method to improve all sciences, and receive instruction in them, it may be a matter of astonishment that it has not been yet generally embraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning. The extraordinary rise and progress of Chylism within a very few years, are entirely new to analysis; but there is an art on which it should have first started its benedictions. I allude to the Teaching of Languages . In fact, Na- ture, this excellent analyst, was before our eyes giving children in learning the language of their mother, and no child ever failed in acquiring it, proving surprisingly her unerring lessons. Fully convinced by reason and experience, that the same method the pupils should be followed as nearly as possible, I addressed, in the course of my instructions, such books established on principles that I deviate from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was but a very irregular and imperfect Analysis —I, therefore, resolved though with a very small confidence in my slender abilities, but animated with zeal for the improvement of those who may wish to learn French from me, to undertake the laborious and arduous task of writing a work, ground- ed on Analytical principles, which might com- prehend what is wished by those applying them- selves to the study of the living language, and am happy to say, I have now nearly concluded it. It consists of three parts. The first, is a chosen Vocabulary of words most frequently used in speech, containing 2500—the most natural acceptance of each is determined by a phrase prefixed to it. The second, contains the French verbs, both reg- ular and irregular, from a new form in which the principal difficulties attending conjugation are first explained, and observations given on the use of each tense, illustrated by proper examples, so as to enable the learner to express himself with precision. The third, is a complete list of those words for- mally de leçon, or de complement de leçon entre les deux discours; that is to say—forming the link or comple- tion of sense between the other parts of speech, whose principal use is to establish in speech that connection between words, which a ready exists in the mind between ideas. I have also fully determined the tense and acceptance of the important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each examples in French and English. As I do not intend to publish the above for some time, and in order, nevertheless, that my pupils may reap the same advantage without it, I hasten to inform those who may be induced to put them- selves under my care, that half the time of school (the other half being devoted to other exercises) will be employed in exercising them in the fol- lowing manner:— We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word of which will be pronounced in English then in French, to be repeated by one or more of the scho- lars; and a similar repetition of the phrases before mentioned will follow. It is worthy of observation, that in our infancy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pro- nunciation of our vernacular tongue, by pro- nouncing word by word; and Analysis accom- plishes what remains to be done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Gramarians to attain this object are a most unreliable to us, and still more so to the foreigners, struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation of a language with the help of dictionaries and Grammar alone. Though I conceive my scholars may attain in the above manner, the accurate pronunciation of the French language, yet stri- ct attention is paid to their reading in approved au- thors before we begin the foregoing exercises. I will pursue nearly the same method in impart- ing to them the contents of the two other divisions of my work. I cannot conclude this address with- out thanking my Fellow Citizens for the liberal encouragement I have experienced from them, these few years past, in my professional career, pre- suming that I may be permitted to say, that I have not been altogether unsuccessfull in my profession.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, Dr. HAHN's Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inven- tor's feelings, in several parts of the West In- dies, and the southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Rich- mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Char- leston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a num- ber of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and bey- ond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off su- perfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe headache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attend- ant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preferred for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN's Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, de- fluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fe- vers, and wonderully strengthening a weak sight. Hundred have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives im- mediate and lasting relief in the most severe in- flances.
The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thou- sand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.

Late FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. CONTINUED.
LONDON, August 1. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. Held at the Cock-Pit, Whitehall, the — day of May.
Present, the following most noble and right honourable lords commissions of appeals in prize causes.
  Lord Chancellor,  Lord Eldon,    Duke of Portland,  Chief Baron M.D.    Earl Spencer,  Sir Grey Cooper,    Earl of Liverpool,  Sir R. Pepper Arden    Earl of Westmoreland,  Sir W. W. Wynne,    Lord Henley,  Sylvester Douglas,    Lord Macartney,  R. H. W. Windham  
Clara Grill, Esq. consul-general of his majesty the king of Sweden, Appellant. John Lawford, Esq. commander of a squadron of his majesty's ships, Respon- dent.
On this day came on the appeal cause be- tween the above parties, respecting the cap- ture of the Maria, one of the Swedish cou- voy, taken on the 30th of June 1798, by commodore Lawford, and carried into Mar- gate Roads
The convoy consisting of several ships under the protection of a Swedish frigate, were bound for several ports in the Medi- terranean, and laden with pitch, tar, iron, deals, &c. of these only one was going avowedly to an enemies port, Ferrol; seve- ral were destined for Portugal, and the Maria for Genoa. After a short detention, the frigate and ships for Portugal were dis- charged, and the rest detained; and on the 13th of October following, the present suit was instituted in the admiralty court, the event of which must be decisive of the right to the whole capture. The cause came on to be heard on the 20th of Dec- ember. Sir William Scott, who directed further proof; and in compliance with this order, on the part of the captors, among other attestations was produced a copy of the instructions which were given to the commander of the Froye Swedish frigate, which paper is in the French language, and is thus translated:
'In case the lieutenant-colonel should meet with any ships of war of other nations, one or more of any fleet whatever, then the lieutenant-colonel is to treat him with all possible friendship, and not give any oc- casion of enmity: But if you meet with a foreign armed vessel, which, on speaking, should be desirous of having still further as- surance that your frigate belongs to the king of Sweden, then the lieutenant-col- onel is by the Swedish flag and salute, to make known that it is so; or if they would make any search among the merchant ships which are under your convoy, which ought to be endeavoured to be prevented as much as possible, then the lieutenant-co- lonel is, in case such thing should be in- sisted upon, and that remonstrances could not be amicably made, and that notwithstanding your amicable comportment, the mer- chant ships should nevertheless be violently attacked, then violence must be opposed against violence.'
On the 1st of May, the cause came on for further hearing when Sir William Scott rejected the claim for the ship and cargo, and condemned the same as a good and law- ful prize, as belonging, at the time of the capture thereof to the enemies of Great Britain, and as such liable to seizure and confiscation.
To this decree an appeal was lodged, which now came on to be heard before the above Lords Commissioners when the King's Advocate and the Solicitor General were heard for the respondent, and Dr. Lawrence for the appellants.
The Court then postponed the further hearing until that day week, when it was resumed by a most able argument, by Mr M'Intosh, on the same side with Dr. Law- rence. This closed the argument and the case now stands for judgement, which is daily expected by the public with great solicitude.
From the magnitude of the point in issue, and the copiousness of the argument, embracing the whole portion of the law of nations respecting the rights of Neutral Powers by sea, it would be impossible to comprehend the merits of the whole case with- in the limits of a daily paper, without excluding other important matter. We therefore mean to detail it in the following order. We now submit the case; on some future day, we shall give the argument of Counsel, and then close our report, with a full statement of the judgement the day after it shall be delivered.
Case as stated by the Appellant. Immediately that the Swedish convoy came in sight, on the 27th of June, 1798, the British ships hoisted their colours and the ships of the convoy shewed theirs; but it is not suggested by the English Commo- dore that the Swedish frigate then shewed any indication whatsoever of hostility or forcible resistance.
No demand is asserted to have been made of the papers of the Swedish ships; but as the detaining of them by force was, in the opinion of the Commodore Lawford, a cir- cumstance which required some considera- tion, since it might involve the two nations in war, he called a council of the captains of the Squadron, and then sent a lieut. to England, with dispatches to the Lords Com- missioners of the Admiralty, for their in- structions.
In the mean time, the squadron contin- ued in company with the Swedish frigate and the convoy; and, on the 30th of June, the Lieutenant, who had been sent with the dispatches of Commodore Lawford, returned with dispatches from the Lords of the Admiralty.
The claimant here takes the liberty of noticing, that, although the captors have ex- hibited, in the manner before stated, the in- structions which his Swedish Majesty gave to his own Officer, they have not thought proper to bring forward (as it is presumed that they easily might have done, with con- sent of His Majesty's Government) their own representation, coming from all their Commanders, in public Council, to their own superiors, nor the instructions which they received in answer from those superi- ors; documents which are the most materi- al to shew the intent and genuine impression made by the demeanour of the Swedish fri- gate and convoy on all the British Command- ers, and the grounds on which alone the Lords of the Admiralty authorised the sei- zure and detention.
Having received that authority (on what- ever motives, and in whatever terms, it may have been given to him,) Commodore Law- ford sent two of the Captains of the squadron on board the Swedish frigate, to inform the Commander, that he had orders to detain his convoy, and carry them into the nearest English Port.
It does not appear that upon this, any more than on former occasions, the Swedish Commander refused the inspection of the papers of the ships under his convoy, nor in- deed that even at this period any such in- spection was demanded.
The Swedish Commander, however, upon the intimation given by the two Captains, said, that he was sorry any difference should arise between the two nations; and at the same time, shewed his instruction (a copy of which he gave,) which were to repel any at- tempt that might be made to board his con- voy by force, although he was first to make use of conciliatory measures, and endeavor to prevent it amicably if possible.
This was communicated to Commodore Lawford, who returned for answer, that he should immediately proceed to take posses- sion of the convoy, and the Plover, Wolver- ene, and Pilotte, part of the squadron, were ordered to board the Swedish vessels. Com- modore Lawford, at the same time, making the signal to prepare for battle. The ships appointed to board the convoy began fulfil- ling their instructions; and both guns and muskets were actually fired at the ships which did not bring to upon being ordered. At the fire of each, Commodore Lawford, as he states, expected that the Swedish Com- mander would make the promised resistance, but nothing was offered; only it is said, that the Commander of the Swedish frigate appeared unsafely, by the frequent wearing of his ship during the night, the Romney being, at the same time, close under her lee, with lower deck guns run out, and every man at his quarters.
By day-light, on the 31st of June, the greatest part of the convoy were secured; but it being observed by Commodore Law- ford, that two large ships, which appeared to be hovering round the frigate, had not been boarded, he ordered the Plover and Pi- lotte to board them, judging, as he also states, that this last measure would decide how far the Swedish Commander meant to dispute the point. A boat from the Plover was thereupon sent on board one of the said large ships, when the Swedish frigate bore, and fired for the Plover with an intention, as expecting by Commodore Lawford, of open- ing her fire. The Romney bore also, and made the signal for the Daphne to tack to support the Plover; but still no firing took place.
The petty officer put on board the large Swedish vessel by the Plover was taken out by an armed boat from the Swedish frigate. This, as Commodore Lawford was after- wards convinced, and has fairly admitted, was only done by the Swedish Commander in the way of retaliation, on account, as it should seem, of some of the Swedish crew, whom it was Capt. Wrangell's duty to pro- tect, having been taken out of their own vessel by the Plover, and the English petty officer was immediately after returned, as Commodore Lawford has also admitted.
At the moment, however, of the transac- tion, the English Commander being, as he avows, extremely exasperated, directed the boat to be fired at; but as that instant the Daphne came in a line with the boat, and prevented the shot being fired at the boat, as ordered.
A Swedish officer was then sent on board the Romney, with the complaints of the Swedish commander, and with an intimation that he would go into an English port with the convoy; and an agreement thereupon took place, that the Swedish Commander should direct the convoy into such port as Commodore Lawford should point out, and that commodore Lawford would withdraw the English seamen and return all the Swedes. This was done accordingly; and commodore Lawford made the signal for all captains, and acquainted them with the termination of the business, and of his intention to go in- to Margate Roads. The whole of the ships were shortly after brought to anchor just without Margate Roads, when an officer was sent on board the Swedish frigate to
request that the commander would give com- modore Lawford a list of his convoy, with an account of their lading; from what port they came; and whether they were destined, and with this, as with every other amicable request made to him during the whole trans- action, he readily complied.
The papers of the ships under convoy were not taken into possession, nor even de- manded for inspection, so far as appears by the captors, until upwards of six weeks after the capture, and in the interval an offer was made to the ships bound to Portugal, that they might proceed on their voyage; one ship (the snow St. Johannes, Calfstrom, master) received, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, a written discharge, dated on the 20th of September; she was, how- ever, soon after ordered, by the guard-ship at the Nore, to proceed up the river, where she remained nearly three weeks, without any proceedings being had against her, or the pa- pers having ever been inspected or demanded by the captors, or any person on their be- half, till the master himself, being desirous, and thinking it his duty to obtain compen- sation for this long detention, voluntarily carried his papers to the King's Proctor, who in consequence, brought them before the Court on the 13th of October, and then, and not before, commenced proceeding a- gainst that vessel and cargo.
The Judge of the Admiralty, under the special facts of that case, restored the St. Jo- hannes, together with the cargo; and, as the claimant submits, the distinction which the captors and his majesty's government made, with regard to that vessel (a distinc- tion declared at the time, to be understood as extending to all the ships bound to Portu- gal,) evinces in the clearest and most incon- trovertible manner, that, down to the 13th of October, neither His Majesty's Govern- ment nor the captors, considered the Swed- ish convoy, generally, to have made any such resistance as would raise the present questions; but, from the 27th of June down to that time, a period of nearly four months were proceeding against particular ships only, on the ground of their avowed or suspected destinations to hostile ports, with cargoes of naval stores.
REASONS assigned by APPELLANT.
 1. Because the vessel and cargo being the undoubted property of Swedes, as claimed, the cargo consisting wholly of Swedish produce, and both documented accordingly to treaty, were engaged in a fair, open, and le- gal trade.  2. Because, whatever may be the legal consequence, if forcible resistance be made by a merchant ship to prevent visitation, no such resistance was made, or attempted to be made, by the vessel in question.  3. Because the right of visitation was not carried or attempted to be carried into ex- ecution, by the cap- r, in a manner consistent either with the letter or spirit of the treaties between Great-Britain and Sweden, or the duties arising out of that right itself.  4. Because the ship's papers were immedi- ately delivered on the first demand, which, however, did not take place until the six weeks after the capture.  5. Because the principles and authorities which subject private merchant ships to search, do not, by any just analogy in law, apply to the situation of a fleet under convoy of a ship of war, specially appointed by the sovereign, and pledging the public faith of the state to which they belong.  6. Because, although there are many in- stances of vessels sailing under convoy, some even of an enemy, and others which have been taken after considerable resistance, and a formal engagement with the convoying ships, yet no precedent has been adduced, or can be adduced, of any vessel having been condemned on that account: and many have been actually restored.  6. Because, from the date of the treaty of 1656, down to the present time, Sweden has been in the occasional practice of sending convoys, when she had been at peace and Great Britain at war, and nei- ther has any question in consequence been ever raised in any British court of justice, nor any remonstrance, so far as appears, been ever made by the British government; on the other hand, when Sweden has been at war and Great Britain at peace, public in- structions have been issued to the Swedish cruizers to respect the words of every Bri- tish officer, having the merchant ships of this country under his convoy.  8. Because, in this instance, the convoy- ing frigate was not appointed with any ori- ginal purpose adverse to Great Britain, and did not make any actual resistance, though the commander seems to have been re- peatedly provoked to do so.  9. Because, by the agreement of the British and Swedish commanders, the question whatever it was, between the two coun- tries, was referred entirely to the two courts.  10. Because the captors, and his maj- esty's government, by their conduct towards the Swedish frigate, and the vessels under his convoy, bound to Portugal, have clear- ly admitted that the Swedish fleet was not seized and detained on account of any forc- ible resistance, of any refusal to submit to visitation and search but solely on grounds arising out of the nature of the cargoes and destination, which grounds have been aban- doned in fact, and cannot be maintained in law. 
PARIS July 29. ACTS OF GOVERNMENT. Decree of the 24th of July.
The Consuls of the Republic to the Minister of Marine The Consuls have not seen without pain Citizen Minister, that several ships of the Brest squadron have been disarmed, and that at a moment, when it was more essential than ever to complete the organization of our squadron, it should be suffered to be discou-
razed by the first difficulties which present themselves. It is at the moment when the Continental war absorbs the principal re- sources of the nation, and the principal at- tention of Government, that the Minister of Marine, the Admirals, the Directors, should redouble their courage and surmount all ob- stacles. Cause inquiry to be made into the conduct of the Directors or Officers who have ordered the disarming of four ships, which have left the road and entered into the port, and of those who have authorized leave of absence to the sailors. These oper- ations could not be justifiable without a special order of Government. Take mea- sures that there may be at once a raising of all people on the coast; and that our ships be provided with every thing necessary for their sailing. The French wish for a marine they will make all the necessary sacrifices to accomplish their wish. Keep an impartial but strict eye upon your Officers and the different branches of the Administration. It is time there should be an end to dilapidations. Send back those individuals who have been a long time but too much marked by public opinions as par- ticipators in fraudulent measures. As the law cannot reach them, let them at least be put in a state of impotence to injure us more.
In the court of August, should circum- stances permit, the First Consul will go to visit the Brest fleet. See that he shall have nothing then to bestow but eulogies upon the Minister, and the principal Agents of Government. The Consuls will make known to the French people the officers and Administrators who shall have served with zeal, and will point out to public opinion those who have shown themselves unworthy of it by a culpable apathy.
Reward will be bestowed upon the ship which shall be in the best state, and the crew, of which shall be best disciplined.
Order the Commander in chief of the squadron of Brest, as also the Generals and Captains of ships, to remain constantly on board, to lay on board, at night, and to exercise the crews with new activity. Establish by a regulation premiums for the young sailors, who shall shew the greatest activity; and for the gunners, who shall distinguish themselves by their precision in firing. A single day must not pass without each ship exercising with ball, firing alter- nately at marks placed on the coast; and others placed on the road.

ARMY OF ITALY.
Masena, General in chief, to the inhabitants of Piedmont. Head quarters, Milan, July 13.
PIEDMONTSE PEOPLE,
I am informed that in some provinces of Piedmont there is a manifestation of insur- rectional movements; that there even ex- ists some armed collective bodies. What can be the object of such movements? they threaten the public tranquility and the safety of the army. Is this the price which the French government ought to receive for the generous conduct which it has observ- ed towards Piedmont?—And shall agita- tors deceive themselves with respct to the moderate use which it makes of its strength and its victories! Piedmontese people, ani- mated with the same spirit of peace and justice that actuates my government. I wish only for your happiness and tranquility, but not treat as an illusion the baneful con- sequences of the rebellion to which these proceedings lead. You will bring down death upon your heads. desolation among your families, and the devastation of your properties. It is then, in the name of your existence, of that of your wives, of your children, and in the names of your dearest interests, that I summon you to return to order. Do not shut your ears to my voice when it speaks to you the words of peace! Do not compel me to make preparation of force. The moment when you shall oblige me to march the French columns against you, will be that of exemplary punishment. Enjoy, inhabitants of the town and coun- try, enjoy the bosom of your families, the powerful protection of the French army af- fords you, and fear to turn against you the army made for your defence, and to pro- voke the heroes who bring friendship to the people of all nations, but who have never been insulted or assassinated without signal vengeance. This proclamation shall be ad- dressed to the provisional government of Piedmont, and to the general commanding there, that they may each in their proper place give it the greatest publicity. It shall be printed in the two languages, pub- lished, and posted throughout all Piedmont. (Signed) MASSENA.
HAGUE, July 8.
We learn that the army which Gen. Angereau is to command on the Rhine will consist of 50,000 men, partly French and Batavians, and will join the corps of Generals St. Uzanne and Cartaux. Gen. Angereau is expected here from the Camp of Find- howen.
VIENNA, July 1.
After a long conference, at which the principal Minister assisted, it was resolved not to accept the Convention concluded in Italy with Bonaparte. In consequence of this determination, recruiting has been Commenc-

ced with the utmost activity.—All the troops still in the Hereditary States have received orders to repair partly to Italy, and partly to the frontiers of Bavaria. These measures however, will not prevent the negotiations for peace from going on. Count Lehrbach arrived here yesterday; it is said that he is to proceed to the Tyrol.
VIENNA, July 6.
According to every information, our Court, in adopting provisionally the Convention concluded in Italy, has answered the propositions of the French Government; that his Majesty had never been averse to concluding with the French Republic an honorable and solid Peace, tending to promote the welfare of the States sinking under the pressure of war, of which France had received repeated and sincere assurances; but that his Majesty would fail in his object if he made a separate Peace. He therefore leaves it to the French Republic to make propositions for a general Peace, in which the Crown of England shall be included.
It is also said, that in this declaration he has protested against the establishment of the Cisalpine Republic, because the districts which had been previously annexed to it are necessary for the security of the States of the Emperor; and besides, that the stability of several Provinces would become very uncertain by the establishment of the Republic.
A courier was sent with this answer to Gen. Berthier who had made the proposition, and couriers were also immediately dispatched to the Courts, of London and Berlin, to inform them of the resolution of our Court.

THE GRAND QUESTION STATED.
At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be asked by every American, laying his hand on his heart, is, "shall I continue in allegiance to GOD—AND A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT; Or implicitly declare for JEFFERSON—AND NO GOD!!!
We can upon the best authority assert, that our Government has received EXPLICIT and SATISFACTORY assurances, that the Ministers of his Britannic Majesty have given no authority, commission, instruction, or promise of support to William A. Bowles, and that his hostile practices among the Indians have been without their knowledge.
When M c Kean and Ross were candidates for the chair of State, the Jacobins said that no man, except a religious one, ought to be placed in any office.—What say they now? Jefferson's their candidate!
No man ought to be Governor of Pennsylvania but a Christian, said the Jacobins; yet say they, a President of the United States may believe in Twenty Gods or no God—thus these fellows deceive the PEOPLE of America; at one time they are christians, the next day infidels, one day they ring and flatter the PEOPLE, next day they abuse and insult them in the person of their fellow citizens whom they have chosen to rule them.
A letter from the American Consul at Port Republican, dated August 12, states, that the whole Island has submitted to Toussaint; that Rigaud and a few of his officers have left it in a boat. The Bite is now no longer infested with piratical barges, and there is no necessity for vessels bound to Port Republican, to touch at Cape Francois, or the Mole, for convoy. A quantity of Coffee is said to be in the Mountains of Grand Ance, and a large collection of produce at Jeremie; the result appears to be favourable to our Commerce, and opens a new channel for trade.
The Editor has received a letter from a respectable gentleman at Snowhill, Maryland, requesting him to state that the account published in this Gazette September 4 (respecting the brig Mary, James Taylor, of and for New York, from Port-au-Prince, stranded on the 17th July last, on Assateague Island, about 60 miles to the Southward of Cape-Henlopen, in which account it is said "the most SHAMEFUL PILLAGING took place! although an INSPECTOR, appointed for the purpose by the Collector of the Revenue, attended part of the time,) was very erroneous, and that in justice to the gentlemen, whose characters are implicated, a suspension of the belief of the statement is requested, until those who made the charge, shall prove it. The owner of the vessel and cargo, denies being the author of the paragraph, and is called upon, if he has any thing to say against the collector, or the person appointed by him, to do it, that a full and clear investigation of the business may take place in a legal way.
Wm. Hamilton, sen. of Derham, Bucks county, was way-laid on the 5th of July last in a piece of woods in Derham township. He was knocked down and beat, threatened with death and was robbed of some bank bills; he offers a reward of Ten Dollars to apprehend the villian whose name is John Landers, a man between 60 and 70 years of age, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, dark complexion, has a long nose and thick lips, had on a short dark colour striped nankeen coat, otter colour vest and breeches, white stockings and coarse rorum hat.
From Sunday, September 7, to Wednesday, September 10, there was one death at Providence, R. I. of the Fever, and seven new cases, one has recovered and eleven remain sick.
For the last 7 days there has been 56 deaths in New-York, 3 of the Fever as mentioned by Dr. Tillary.
From Friday evening, September 5, to Monday, September 8, there were 3 deaths in Norfolk, and 34 new cases of the Fever.
For the 24 hours, preceding Saturday morning sun-rise, there were 24 deaths at Baltimore and Fell's Point; there was then 64 in the Hospital, 8 convalescents, and 5 had been discharged, cured.
The writer of a letter from New-York, clearly traces the origin of the Fever, in two instances to foreign causes; one a carrier who died, and who acknowledged he caught it, by hauling a load from on board a vessel which had evaded the quarantine regulation and got up to the city and was afterwards ordered down; the other was a boy of Mr. Warner's, the sail-maker's, who had actually been on board a vessel at the quarantine ground; and which vessel had sick people on board; the latter was a very violent case.
Report says, that Demarara was lately re-taken by the Dutch, they being dissatisfied with the restrictions laid upon their trade by the English. It is expected Surinam will rise also.

SONG.
The trifling maid, who idly vain, Contemns a faithful lover's pain, His torments all her joy; Who changeless as an April day, With captive hearts delights to play, As infants with a toy: Deserves of Cupid's bitter draught To taste a drop and from his shaft A stroke or two to feel; Then tremble, nymph; for, taught by me Strephon shall soon give wounds to thee No vanity shall heal.
NOTES ON GALLATIN.
In a new pamphlet by Gallatin, it is asserted that the Committee of Congress, instead of matter of fact, imposed the "private opinion of a few individuals" on the people of the United States; that the statement by the committee of the amount of bonds receivable, was improper, because the people, i. e. the United States, still owed the money, the amount of their bonds; thus if what people of the United States owe the people of the United States is a fallacious item in account, the public debt due to our own citizens is not due at all.—Bravo Mr. Gallatin, you have wiped away the debts at once without intending it.
But how do you prove that the mere arrangement of an old debt, by the new government, makes the whole a fair charge to the incidental expense account of the recesses only.
Why tell us, how much it cost us to prepare for our defence against the masters of our country, and conceal the amount of the savings thereby.
Are not the arms purchased still on hand; is not our Navy entire, with the addition of a fine frigate taken from your masters; is this the gallant thought that makes you forget your obligations to America; have we not taken and re-taken 500 sail of vessels from the enemy; has not the convoys, &c. by the navy saved twenty per cent. on the imports and exports, and on the shipping employed by our commerce for 3 years past? Answer these questions if you can.

Bradford; he will recollect with pleasure his gallantry, and that of his Crew—and will pay just tribute to the generous and brave British officer, who gave assistance and comfort to wounded Americans.]
MR CUTLER, BY publishing the following very honorable testimonies, of the unprecedented bravery of Capt. GAMALIEL BRADFORD and Crew, of the ship Industry of this port, and the humane conduct of Capt. Hallowell of the British ship Swiftsure; you will oblige, Yours, &c.
L. & C.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Charles Henley, on board the Industry, dated Lisbon, July 23, 1800.
"I have the misfortune of Having the painful task allotted me to communicate the very unfortunate accident that Capt. Bradford met with on the 8th of July. We failed from Naples on the 15th June, and arrived safely off Gibraltar on the 8th of July. Conceiving it not safe to enter this port by reason of the annoyance given by the Spanish gun boats, we proceeded for Lisbon: Soon after entering the Gut, about one league there came from shore, a large French privateer which came in sight of our guns, but did not like our appearance; she hauled her wind, and went a stern, she then fired a gun and hoisted French colors, with a bloody flag; and began firing at us; but was at such a distance, that we could not reach her with our stern guns, although she from her bows was throwing her grape shot into and beyond us. Capt. B. said, all we could do was to wait until the came nearer, when we hoped we should be able to give the rascals what they deserved. After firing above an hour at that distance the came nearer, but finding there was danger in the attempt, she again returned to her former distance, where the continued firing her bow chases. Soon after three other privateers, one nearly as large as the first came out, and all of them commenced firing at our stern. Conceiving themselves much superior in force, they became bolder, and approached nearer to us, but we were enabled to keep a steady firing upon them; but they had much heavier guns than we, particularly the two large privateers. The wind blowing fresher, the two smallest were not able to do much harm; a strong current against us, and having many of our sail and spars shot away, we could not carry sail, except before the wind, and in that course moved slowly through the water.
After engaging these pirates three hours, capt. Bradford was unfortunately wounded by a grape shot in the thigh which entered the back part, a little above the knee, & went nearly through, you may suppose this was a great shock to us all, that he should be the first wounded. We took him into the Cabin; previously to his leaving the deck he addressed the crew, begging them not to be alarmed at his situation, but to keep steady firing, and to prevent them from boarding the ship, which I have the pleasure to say they did with determined courage Mr. Bradford, mate and brother to the captain, fought the stern guns during the whole action, which continued two hours and a half after capt. B. received his wound. When the privateer sheered off, and left us to proceed on our voyage which we were poorly enabled to do, from the shattered condition of our rigging and spars. Capt. B. then ordered us to steer for Cadiz, it hopes of meeting with some British vessel of war, which we very fortunately did the next day, and received from cap. Hallowell, who commanded the vessel we spoke with, (the Swiftsure) every mark of attention and humanity. On being informed of the melancholy situation in which capt. B. lay, he then ordered his Chief Surgeon on board to take care of the wound, and administer every relief in his power.
It was the opinion of the Surgeon that the thigh ought to be amputated as soon as possible, but finding a high fever had set in, he recommended and solicited the removal of capt. B. declined, as he wished to reach Lisbon, and the wind then promised a speedy passage; the humanity of capt. Hallowell however would not allow the vessel to leave him until he had supplied every thing that was wanted and sent on board, his Surgeon's mate, (which was the only one on board) to accompany capt. B. to Lisbon, and furnished an order for his being admitted to the British Hospital there.
Owing to contrary winds which ensued immediately after we left the Swiftsure, we did not arrive at Lisbon under 10 days, when we landed our unfortunate Commander, and this day he underwent the amputation of his thigh. It is now 3 hours since the operation was performed, and I have the high gratification of informing you that he is likely to do well. He bore the operation as he did the agony of the wound with the greatest calmness and fortitude. Except capt. B. there was but one other person wounded on board the ship, which is a Mr. John Bayler, who received a grape shot in his body, and is now lodged in the same hospital, where every attention is, aid him."
It ought to be mentioned here that this is the third time within 18 months that capt. B. has encountered a similar force in the same seas and each time preserved the property of his owners, through his undaunted skill and bravery.
