Late FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 22.
From London Papers to the 10th of August, inclusive, received at the Office of the Mercantile Advertiser, by the ship Hazard, from London.
LONDON, August 4.
The Iris has carried out 320,000 guineas, and the Ariadne 150,000, to be conveyed to Vienna, for the Emperor.
It has been intimated, that the Grand Seignor had signified his pleasure that his ambassador to the British court should continue in this country till the ensuing spring. A knowledge, however, of the ability of this minister, and the critical state of Asiatic politics, have induced the Emperor to make a new disposition; and the ambassador has received orders to repair to the capital of Turkey with all possible expedition, for the purpose, we are inclined to believe, of being appointed Reis Effendi, or First Minister for foreign affairs. The order of recall to the ambassador was accompanied by a Firman, appointing Mr. Arginople, first Dragoman to his Excellency, a Greek of noble family and distinguished talents, though not 22 years old, to be charge d'affaires to the Court of London.
INDIA.
The last over-land dispatch from India relates, that a Rohilla, named Byrroi, had collected a powerful force, with which he had devastated an extensive country, carrying its produce of every kind, to a place which nature and art having rendered inaccessible to an assailant, conceived it impossible to dispossess him. A detachment of troops sent by the Nabob against him, had fallen in with and defeated one of his foraging parties, but no impression had been made upon the main body, which excited considerable sensations among the neighbouring chiefs.
The importance of Bangalore has induced an order from the British government in India to rebuild that fortress, which had been totally destroyed.
Very favourable accounts have been received at Bombay from China. It is said, the present Emperor is more favourably disposed than ever to the interest of Britain, and that he has shown on a late occasion a remarkable inclination to give to British subjects a preference in the trade of his dominions.
August 5.
Letters from Brussels of the 23d July, in the last French papers, state, that orders had been transmitted to all the ports of Holland, to equip with the utmost expedition all the ships of war there. It is said that a fleet is to be assembled for the protection of the coast of Holland, as well as for the protection of commerce in the North Sea. Two ships of the line of 80 guns, lately built at Amsterdam and Rotterdam, will soon be armed and equipped.
The Territorial Revenue derived by the India Company from the partition of the Mysore, produces 6,44,641,11 star pagodas, which, with the subsidy of 7,000,000 amounts to the immense sum of 13,47,611,10 star pagodas annually. The establishment for the family of the late Tippoo Sultan, suitable to the high rank of the parties and consequently highly honourable to the company, reduces this sum to 11,47,641,10 star pagodas; but from the uncommon means this territory offers for improvement, it is expected in a very few years, to yield twenty lacks of star pagodas annually.
The island of Perim in the straits of Baabmandel, we learn, is still in great want of water. Every method has been tried of opening springs in various parts of the island, but without effect. We further learn that the island is very unhealthy, great numbers of our troops being in the Hospital there.
The magistrates of Sunderland have circulated hand-bills, expressive of their determination to prosecute to conviction all persons detected in enhancing the price of the necessaries of life, by forestalling, &c.
A fulminating Mercury, entirely free from sulphur, has lately been discovered by E. Howard, Esq. F. R. S. From repeated trials it appears that, under certain circumstances, this powder acts with superior force to gun-powder; but it does not seem on the whole to possess such properties as will supersede the use of the latter.
The greatest exertions have been made within these few days past at Sheerness, to equip and send off to Yarmouth Roads the bomb and gun vessels fit for service, which are destined to take part in the secret expedition. Such was the activity and bustle which prevailed, that several of them were paid by the commissioner while under sail. The Monmouth and Reasonable are fitting for sea with all possible dispatch.
We have the pleasure to state, on the authority of a letter from Bombay lately received, that the surviving seamen belonging to his Majesty's late frigate the Reliance, which was blown up in the Straits of Banca, had all arrived at Malacca. It appears they were ransomed by the Macassar Rajah in consequence of a representation made to the Sultan of Lingua, by the commanding officer at Malacca. The unfortunate men, five in number, had been some months in captivity with the Malay pirates.
The account which was said to have been communicated by private letters from Gibraltar, with respect to the affair between admiral Duckworth's squadron and a Danish frigate and convoy, published in the Times of Saturday, is completely unfounded. It probably arose from a misunderstanding which formerly took place between the Em-
erald frigate on the Lisbon station, and a frigate belonging to Denmark, but was soon after adjusted to the satisfaction of both countries.
The King of Sweden has prohibited the consumption of coffee in his dominions, as an article of luxury.
The weekly discounts at the Bank of England, (says a recent publication) are seldom beneath one million.
August 7.
By a letter from Paris we find the American ministers make no progress in their explanations, and that the two republics are not for the present likely to be better reconciled. The object of this suspense and delay is obvious. France, by holding a doubtful conduct, will animate her partisans in America, and intimidate her opponents; and in this course she will the more probably continue to succeed, with the view of effecting a change in the President, the election of whom comes on in a few months.
The ceremony of presenting colours to the Stadholder's new army in the Isle of Wight, was performed on Wednesday morning by the hereditary Prince, in the presence of Lord Bolton, General Don, and a vast concourse of spectators, in Parkhurst Forest, near New-Port. The Prince of Orange, in an appropriate speech, gave due praise to their appearance and military skill, recommended fidelity to the House of Orange, and a steady subordination to their officers, as from such conduct alone the important object, they would soon probably be engaged on, could be expected to be accomplished. The Prince in the evening set off for London, preparatory to his going abroad.
August 8.
A private letter from Hamburg received by yesterday's mail, contains the following passage: "It is reported on the authority of some very respectable letters from Vienna, that Count Cobenzel has had a conference with the Russian Minister at Carlisle, at which a Prussian Minister was likewise present. At the close of this conference proposals were sent to the French agent at Dresden, who forwarded them to Paris. The Northern alliance will, it is said, act an important part at the negotiation of peace which are now expected for a certainty to take place. The new preliminaries of peace which the Austrian cabinet has sent to Paris by General Count St. Julien, are offered under the mediation of the cabinets of Berlin and Petersburg. A new Russian ambassador was likewise expected to go to Vienna, where the government bills have again risen 4 per cent. to sanguine are the hopes of peace in Austria."
August 10.
Friday Paris papers to the 6th were received, and others up to the 8th inst. reached town yesterday. They afford no official intelligence respecting the negotiations between Austria and France; but their general complexion augurs favourably for peace. The return of Count St. Julien from Paris for Vienna, and the departure of citizen Durand, first aid-de-camp to the Chief Consul, for the same capital, have given rise to a very natural supposition that Preliminaries of Peace are in a state of forwardness. They left Paris on the same day, but did not travel in company. Citizen Durand arrived at Strasbourg on the 2d inst. he is said to carry with him the ultimatum of the French Government, and to be authorized to terminate the negotiation, by ratifying a formal treaty of peace. It is, however, to be observed, that there is not the smallest remission of industry in the hostile preparations either of France or Austria.
The rumours of a popular tumult having been excited in Paris, and of the removal of the Consuls Cambacérès and Lebrun from their official situations, prove to be unfounded.
The quadruple alliance, said to be forming in the North, appears to engage a considerable portion of public attention at Paris. Intelligence of the capture of the Danish frigate and her convoy was communicated by the Telegraph, from Dunkirk to Paris, on the 6th inst. It is stated that Russia and Sweden cordially concur in the plan of an armed neutrality against the uncontrolled maritime dominion of England, but that Denmark is averse to become a party to the confederacy, from the prudent consideration that the world thereby hazard the loss of her valuable possessions in the East and West Indies, and the lucrative trade she had carried on during the war.
The French are making vigorous preparations for the defence of their Western coast against the English. They consider Belleisle as the object against which one of our secret expeditions is destined.
General Augereau, according to letters received by the last mail has received orders to march back from the Lower Rhine to Holland, with the army under his command; a circumstance which affords another argument in favor of the opinion of the speedy Continental Peace.
Accounts from Hamburg of the 26th ultimo, assert, that all the attempts of Russia and Sweden to draw Denmark into the new alliance against England have proved fruitless. At Copenhagen, it is added, they tremble at the idea of a rupture, which would expose the country and their continental possessions to the resentment of the English.
It is currently reported and generally credited at Hamburg, that the Court of London is upon the point of a perfect reconciliation with the Emperor Paul. What renders this desirable event more credible is, that the armed neutrality is no longer the topic of discourse.
From Hamburg July 25, it is stated that Sir James Crawford, the British Envoy for Lower Saxony, has disposed of his horses and carriages, his furniture, &c. at his residence in Altona, and will very soon depart for England.
It now appears that the Portuguese ambassador had no orders to leave Peterburgh but just apprehending such an event, had demanded leave of his Court to return home,
From Constantinople it is reported, that the English troops, under Colonel Murray, have abandoned the isthmus of Suez, of which they had taken possession previous to the dispersion of the Turkish army.
An article from the Hague, of the 26th ult. states, that the intelligence first circulated in Paris, of the departure of the Russian ambassador from Constantinople, is fully confirmed, by letters from Hungary and several places. All the Russians have also quitted that city.
Letters from Constantinople and Smyrna afford new grounds to believe that Kleber is determined to maintain himself in Egypt. A squadron of French and Spanish ships of war, consisting of eight sail of the line, and five frigates, has been seen entering the Mediterranean. It is conjectured that this is the squadron which was stated to have sailed from Brest about a month ago, and that its object is to arrive at Egypt, by steering close to the African coast.
The Paris papers of the 5th confirm the report of the capture of 20 English gun-boats, coming out of Gibraltar, by Spanish gun-boats and corsairs belonging to Barcelona. Two of the above were from Tuscany, and defended themselves with obstinacy against the Spaniards.
The Journal de Commerce positively asserts that the present armistice between the French and Imperialists is concluded for the space of three months.
It is again repeated in the French Journals, that the 25th Messidor was a day of glory for the troops. They then seized upon the almost impervious positions of Kofs Schlagaas, near Reuti, though obstinately defended by the Tyrolean chasseurs; and while they entered the Tyrolean country upon this point, another strong column penetrated through the forest of Bregenaz, by a way intersected with rocks and mountains, and which had never been passed before by any army.
The French have taken possession of Frankfort, entering that city on the 27th ult. with two battalions and 400 cavalry, three pieces of cannon, and several ammunition waggons. The Magistrates resisted a considerable time, but being at length compelled to yield to force, they consented to give up the place, and accordingly billets being granted, the troops were distributed in the houses of the citizens. The sensation caused by this unexpected movement upon the inhabitants, is said to have been inexpressible. The energy of the Magistrate, it is also observed, did them honour, as they persist in refusing to pay the contribution demanded; but, on the contrary, shift upon claiming the rights due to a neutral city.
A Prussian and Batavian Courier passed through Ratisbon on the night of the 26th ult. charged with dispatches for general Moreau; and an important negotiation with the Elector of Bavaria is understood as being in great forwardness.
An article from Berlin says, we are assured that, exclusive of the late successes of the French the Court of Vienna was forced into a negotiation by the people, who opposed both the forced loan and a new levy of troops, and began to insult the English Ambassador, as the cause of all their sufferings.
The German peasantry, with the soldiers, to the number of several thousands, are employed in raising a chain of redoubts, behind the river Inn, from Kaffstein in Tyrol, as far as Passaw in Bavaria.
The nuptials of the Prince Anhalt Cothen with the hereditary Princess of Hesse Darmstadt, will be celebrated this day.
The whole of the troops composing Netley camp, embarked at Southampton yesterday week consisting of the 13th regiment of foot, three battalions of the 9th, two of the 34th and the 79th regiment, with a train of artillery and failed for Portsmouth. Monday a battalion of the Royal Scotch, the 27th, and the riflemen of all the regiments destined on the secret expedition, embarked at South-Sea Beach, Portsmouth, & the artillery-horse embarked on Tuesday morning from the dock yard, Wednesday the troop ships & transports, with about 10,000 men on board, dropped down to St. Helen's; and on Friday morning they failed to the Westward. They are to call at Plymouth, where Sir James Poulton, chief in command, will embark, and a considerable body of more troops. The officers who embarked at Spithead, are Major-Generals Morehead, Manners and Coote.
A squadron of men of war is assembling in the downs, which is expected to join the fleet of transports and other vessels at Yarmouth.
All the merchantmen for the Baltic are to rendezvous at Yarmouth, nor will any ship be suffered to sail thither, until government receives advices from that quarter. It is hoped the homeward-bound fleet from the Baltic will have passed the sound before the news reaches Copenhagen of the detention of the Danish ships in the Downs.
FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
Paris August 4.—An Aid-de-Camp of the first Cnful has returned from inspecting Belleisle, which he states to be provisioned for one year, and in every respect in the best possible state of defence.
General Bernadotte is busily employed in strengthening all the points on the western coast.
August 5.—The immediate union of the cantons of Lugano and Bellinzone, in the ci-devant Italian bailiwick, with the Cisalpine Republic, seems decided. That Republic is to have in future the Alps and St. Gothard for its frontiers on the side of Helvetia. These limits are what nature has in fact traced out. The manners and language of the inhabitants of the ci-devant Italian bailiwick attach them much more to the Cisalpine than to Helvetia.
Milan, July 17.—From the 23d to the 29th Messidor, there entered the port of Ge-
noa 23 gondolas, 42 boats, 13 ships armed en flute, four feluccas, two brigs, two tartans, and several other merchant vessels, from Marseilles, Corsica, Leghorn, and the two Rivieres, laden with oil, wine, cocoa, coffee, sugar, and about 5000 measures of corn.
Rome, July 12.—The pope went out this day, the first time since his arrival. He went in the midst of a great concourse of people to officiate at the Basilique Vatican, where he met the King and Queen of Sardinia, and the Duke of Chablais their uncle, who arrived the 16th. After office the King and Queen had a long conference with his Holiness. At night the cupola and palace of the Vatican were illuminated. A regulation has been published, by which the old papal government is re-established, with some modifications, in the provinces of Ancona and Perouse, occupied hitherto by the Imperial troops. For their more easy administration, they will be divided into seven jurisdictions, to be governed by seven prelates, with the title of Delegates.
Vienna, July 16.—The recruiting goes on with considerable activity, as well at Vienna as throughout the hereditary states. All the regiments are to be completed. The complementary troops are to be marched in different directions to repair to the armies. We are assured that the army of Italy is already 90,000 strong.—It is, however, hoped, that the armistice will be followed by peace. Letters from Berlin announce the arrival of Count Cobenzel there.
Augsburg, July 25th.—Gen. Moreau arrived here yesterday. He has determined to remove the head-quarters to Dilligen. The centre of the army of the Rhine will take up its cantonments along both banks of the Rhine from Gensburg to Ingolstadt. The right wing remains in Upper Suabia; the left will occupy the duchy of Wirttemberg, where Gen. Richepanse will have his head-quarters. The remaining troops of the left will be posted along the Mein, from Rednitz and Allmiche to Ratisbon. The French are forming considerable magazines at Dilligen, Nordingen, Donaworth, and Gensburg.
Letters from Ratisbon state, that in the night between the 24th and 25th of July, two couriers passed that way; one a Prussian the other a Bavarian. They are said to have been charged with dispatches for Gen. Moreau, which it is believed relate to a treaty with the Elector of Bavaria. It is reported that Ratisbon will be declared neutral, and that the troops of both powers will be removed from it to a distance of six leagues.
Tarifa (Andalusia) July 5.—This day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, there passed near this strait a division of seven or eight ships of the line, and four or five frigates, in all 13 sail, in full sail for the north-east. Almost all these ships had a national flag. One only carried a tri-coloured flag at the mainmast. We believe them to be French and Spaniards.
Wesel, July 25.—Baron Dohm, the Prussian Minister, who presides at the Congress of the German States comprised in the line of neutrality, has just announced, that the contracts for the maintenance and subsistence of the army which protects the north of Germany will not extend beyond three months—every thing inducing a hope, that at that epoch peace would be established in Europe. This declaration, made verbally, has occasioned the most agreeable sensations, and proves the good understanding between the Prussian government and the French Republic.
NEW-YORK, September 22
Yesterday arrived at the Quarantine Ground, the ship Hazard, Capt. Sisson, from London, which place she left on the 11th of August.—By her the Editor of the New York Gazette has received London papers to the tenth, inclusive, the last being a Sunday paper.—The following Extracts, tho' hastily made, are the most important in these papers.—Three per cent Cons. on the 9th, were at 64 and 3/8.
The Hazard, Aug. 13, in the Downs, spoke the ship Active M'Dougal, lying there, from Philadelphia, who informed, that he had been chased 16 hours by a French privateer, and escaped her in the night.
On the 26th, in lat 46, 16 long 33, 50, spoke the ship Brisee, Hart, 16 days from Liverpool to N. York.
Sept. 10, in lat 53, 12, long 57, spoke the ship Betsey, of Portsmouth, Salter, 45 days from Liverpool for Wilmington, N. C. who, the day before, in a gale, carried away his mainmast heads, all above the which they lost in clearing the wreck—supplied him with some salt provisions, and left her somewhat leaky.
Plymouth Aug. 2. Arrived the Hindo from Savannah, with sugar, Coffee, &c. detained by the Anson frigate.
Portsmouth Aug. 3. Arrived several transports with troops from Southampton.
Deal. Aug. 3. Arrived, at Liverpool, the Suffolk, Whipple, from New-York; and Belvidere, Rofs, from Baltimore.
Yarmouth Aug. 3. This morning failed the Express Packet, with mails, and Messrs Rutherford, Rook, Jolly, and Mr. Dreiden, King's Messengers with Dispatches.
LONDON, August 10.
The lord chancellor has reversed the decree in the cause Keighley at the India company, in which a balance had been reported of 60 60 01 and has decreed damages to the amount of 30 00 01.
The Hamburg mail due on Sunday arrived on Thursday, but the contents were mostly anticipated by the French papers.—The following article appears from Vienna, July 19. In our Court Gazette, under the head of Germany, it is the following passage "Accounts from Dresden say, that two great foreign powers will no
longer view with indifference the progress of the French in Germany, and the ruin of the continent, to promote the advantage of certain maritime connections."
MUNICH, July 18.
In consequence of the armistice, the French army is withdrawing from Bavaria there is only a garrison of 1,000 men left in Munich. Twenty-five thousand men, one-third of whom are cavalry, are on their march through the territory of Wirttemberg, where they will enforce the arrears of the contributions that have been imposed—they will be exacted with the more rigour, as Wirttemberg has hitherto suffered least by the campaign.
AUGSBURGH, July 21.
The French head quarters are still here. Augsburg or Anspach will probably be the place where the Congress will be held. Should it meet at Augsburg, the French head quarters will be removed to Dilligen. A letter from Munich says, there is reason to hope that the whole business of the negotiation will be ended by Michaelmas, as the treaty of Campo Formio will be made the basis, and several principal points were settled before the conclusion of the armistice. Others, however, believe that peace will meet with many difficulties, especially on the part of England. The contributions and requisitions levied by the French army on our Bishopric, within six weeks, amount already to a million of Florins.
FRANKFORT, July 22.
To facilitate the conclusions of a peace, Buonaparte will himself repair to the vicinity of the place where the Congress is held, and will be accompanied by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Talleyrand.
ITALY, July 14.
The report that Buonaparte had written to the King of Sardinia to return to his dominions, in the most flattering terms, is unfounded.
PARIS, August 3.
Piedmont is dreadfully infested with robbers who plunder on the high roads in the day. Six of them suffered death on the 20th inst. the chief of whom, named Condé, was the son of an opulent merchant of Turin, for whom his father offered 200,000 franks to save his life.
Decree of the six Thermidor.—The Consuls of the Republic decree: Art. I. All the Piedmontese Citizens, Cispalpine and Tuscans, who were conducted to France last year, have liberty to return home.
August 4. The Portuguese Minister at the Court of Russia has left Peterburgh. An officer and eleven men, who were landed near St. Malo from a British frigate, to make observations, it is stated have been taken by the French. An Aid-de-Camp of the First Consul has returned from inspecting Belleisle which he stated to be provisioned for one year, and in every respect in the best possible state of defence. General Bernadotte is busily employed in strengthening all the points on the Western coast.
August 5, General Jourdan set out on the 5th inst. for Turin from Paris. Citizen Salicetti arrived the 2d at Paris. The immediate union of the cantons of Lugano and Bellinzone, in the ci-devant Italian Bailiwick, with the Cisalpine Republic, seems decided. That Republic is to have in future the Alps and St. Gothard for its frontiers on the side of Helvetia. These limits are what nature has in fact traced out. The manners and language of the inhabitants of the ci-devant Italian Bailiwick attach them much more to the Cisalpine than to Helvetia.
MILAN, July 17.
From the 25th to the 29th Messidor, there entered the port of Genoa 23 gondolas, 42 boats, 13 ships armed en flute, 4 feluccas, 7 brigs 2 tartans, and several merchant vessels, from Marseilles, Corsica, Leghorn, and the two Rivieres, laden with oil, wine, cocoa, coffee, sugar, and about 5000 measures of corn.
FRANKFORT, July 29.
The troops coming from Bavaria have not received a countermand. They continue their march towards the Mein, and expect General Augereau at Cologne.
LONDON, August 10.
Our accounts from Egypt by last mail, state the renewal of hostilities to have been even more calamitous than had been before represented; as, instead of only ten thousand men having fallen in the battle with Kleber, the Turks lost upwards of twenty thousand by the sword, and by subsequent hunger, thirst and fatigue in the desert; whilst the multitude attributed to these latter causes the plague, which has made, and continues to make, the most dreadful havoc in the remains of the Ottoman army.
Among the numerous persons who fell into the hands of the French gen. at the battle of Cairo, was Mr. Morca, secretary to the British embassy at Constantinople, who experienced from Kleber, and from the other generals, the most distinguished attention and kindness. This gentleman has been permitted to rejoin the Grand Vizier, with whom he was when our intelligence was written; though from the state of the army, we apprehend that he would not easily find a place of greater danger. Several of the immediate attendants of the Grand Vizier have fallen victims to the plague.
Some impediment to the departure of the Turkish ambassador has arisen from the absence of the king, and the great inconvenience would result from his excellency going to Weymouth to take leave. These

matters have, however, been adjusted, by a letter from his majesty; and ministers, together with the masters of the ceremonies, having arranged every thing in their respective departments, the ambassador will on Thursday set off for Yarmouth where he will embark for Cuxhaven; taking with him the regret of all persons in this country by whom he is known, and which regret is increased by the dangerous responsibility at all times, but particularly the present, of the high office to which it is said he is to be appointed.
The Paris papers of the 7th inclusive, received yesterday, are filled with conjectures of an immediate peace with the emperor, and some of them even intimate a belief that the preliminaries are already concluded. Duroc, the confidential friend and first adjutant of Buonaparte, (and whom he had successfully employed in a negotiation at Berlin) is said to be accompanying the Count St. Julien to Vienna, to be empowered to adjust some matters which were objectionable to the Imperial Cabinet. In confirmation of this opinion, a paragraph is extracted from a letter from Wezel, dated July 25th, which says: "The Baron de Dohm, the Prussian minister, who presides in the Congress of the German States included within the line of neutrality, the deputies of which are assembled at Hildesheim, has just announced that the supplies for the army of observation, which protects the north of Germany, must not be extended beyond three months. as there is every reason to hope, that by that period, peace will be restored to Europe."
The account of the detention of the Danish frigate and her convoy, was on the 6th communicated by the Telegraph to Paris, where it is said, Denmark, though goaded by Russia and Sweden, is averse to take any step against England, from the apprehension of her eastern possessions.
The object of the expedition which sailed from Portsmouth on Wednesday, and comprised about 10,000 soldiers, continues to be, as it ought, a profound secret. Every thing that distinguished gallantry can achieve may be expected from them.
Admiralty Office, August 9. Copy of a letter from Earl St. Vincent, K. B. Admiral of the white, &c. to Evan Nepean Esq. dated on board his Majesty's ship Royal George, at sea, on the 4th instant.
Sir, I did not think the enterprize of Sir Edward Hamilton or of Capt. Campbell could have been rivalled, until I read the inclosed letter from Sir Edward Pellew, relating the desperate service performed by the acting lieutenant Coghlan, of the Viper cutter, which has filled me with pride and admiration; and although the circumstance of his not having completed his time in his majesty's navy operates at present against his receiving the reward he is most ambitious of obtaining, I am persuaded the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty will do all in their power to console him under his severe wounds, and grant him promotion the moment he is able to receive it. I am, Sir, &c.
ST. VINCENT. Impetuous, Palais Road, 1800. My Lord
I have true pleasure in stating to your lordship the good conduct of Lieutenant Jeremiah Coghlan, to whom for former gallant behavior, you had given an acting commission to command the Viper cutter, from this ship. This gallant young man, when watching Port Louis, thought he could succeed in boarding some of the cutters or gun vessels which have been moving about the entrance of that harbour, and for this purpose he intreated a ten oared cutter from me, with twelve volunteers; and on Tuesday night the 20th inst. he took this boat, with Mr. Silas H. Paddon, Midshipman and six of his men, making, with himself, twenty, and accompanied by his own boat and one from the Amethyst, he determined upon boarding a gun brig mounting three long 24 pounders, and 4 six pounders, full of men, moored with springs on her cables, in a naval port of difficult access, within pistol shot of three batteries, surrounded by several armed craft, and not a mile from a 74 and two frigates bearing an admirals flag. Undismayed by such formidable appearances, the early discovery of his approach, (for they were at quarters,) and the loss aid of the two other boats he determined bravely to attack alone, and boarded her on the quarter; but unhappily, in the dark, jumping into a trawl net hung up to dry, he was pierced through the thigh by a pike, and several of his men hurt, and all knocked back into the boat. Unchecked in ardor, they hauled the boat further ahead, and again boarded and maintained against 97 men, 16 of whom were soldiers, an obstinate conflict, killing six and wounding 20, among whom was every officer belonging to her. His own loss, one killed and eight wounded; himself in two places; Mr. Paddon in six. I feel particularly happy in the expected safety of all the wounded. He speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Paddon and the whole of his party, many of whom were knocked overboard, and twice returned with unabated courage. I trust I shall stand excused by your lordship for so minute a description, produced by my admiration of that courage which, hand to hand, gave victory to a handful of brave fellows over four times their number; and of that skill which fortified, conducted and effected so daring an enterprize. Le Cerbere, commanded by a Lieutenant de Vaisseau, and rowed out under a very heavy fire, is given up as a prize by the squadron to mark their admiration, and will not, I know, be the only reward of such bravery; they will receive that protection your lordship so liberally accords to all the young men in the service who happily distinguish themselves under your command. I enclose Lt. Coghlan's letter, and have the honor &c. Signed EDWARD PELLEW. Admiral, the Earl St. Vincent, K. B. &c.
H. M. Cutter Viper, Tuesday morn. 8 o'clock. DEAR SIR I have succeeded in bringing out the gun brig Le Cerbere, of 3 guns 24 pounders, and of four 6 pounders and 87 men, commanded by lieutenant Vaisseau. Pray forgive me when I say from under the batteries of Port Louis. and after a most desperate resistance being made, first by her, and afterwards by the batteries on both sides, and a fire from some small vessels which lay round her; but nothing could I expect from a vessel laying in that inactive situation, was equal to the few brave men belonging to our ship, whom I so justly confided in, assisted by six men from the cutter, and Mr. Paddon midshipman, who, I am sorry to say was wounded in several places, though I hope not mortally. I am sorry to state the loss of one man belonging to the cutter, who was shot through the head, and four of your men wounded, with myself, wounded in several parts of the body: the principal one I received was with a pike which penetrated my left thigh. Mr. Patterson in the cutter's small boat, assisted by two midshipmen from the Amethyst in one of their boats. The loss of the enemy is not yet ascertained, owing to the confusion. I remain, &c. I. COGHLAN. N. B. There are 5 killed and 21 wounded, some very badly.
By this Day's Mail. BOSTON, September 18. For the Boston Commercial Gazette. MR. CUTLER, The following communication just received from my friends and correspondents, KNOX & HAY, of Hull, is full of commercial information, that I am convinced it is only necessary to give it you, to insure its insertion in a paper so devoted to the true interests of our country, as yours'. Yours, &c. W. W. Jan. Dock-Office, Kingston upon Hull, May 2d, 1800.
SIR, I have to inform you, that your letter to the Dock Company of the 10th of April last, was this day taken into consideration, and that in consequence thereof, the Dock Company have come to the Resolution, of which I have the honor to enclose you a copy. I am with great respect, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, JOHN LEVETT, Clerk. George Knox Esq. American Consul, Hull. At a meeting of the Dock Company held this day.
Resolved, That from and after the 10th day of October next, the sum of one shilling and nine pence per ton only, instead of the present dues of three shillings and sixpence per ton, be taken on all American ships which shall enter this port after that time. It shall be made appear to the Dock Company, that one half of the tonnage of such ships consists of West-India produce for exportation, and that no higher dues shall be taken on such ships so laden, until twelve Calendar Months next after this resolution, shall be re-enacted, and notice thereof given to the American Consul resident at this port. May 2d, 1800.
The Port of Hull now allowed to be third in consequence, to Great Britain, is situated about twenty miles from the mouth of the Humber, the largest river in England, and navigable up to the Port by the largest ships. There is a very spacious Wee Dock within the Port. The mouth of the Humber entering the German Ocean is nearly opposite the mouths of the Elbe, the Ems, and the Weser, with the cities and towns situated on these rivers, Hull carries on the greatest trade of any port in Great Britain, London excepted, and from thence to those ports, there are regular convoys once a fortnight in time of war; it is also next to London in its trade, to the ports in the Baltic, and in times of peace to those of Holland, Flanders, and the northern ports of France, exporting to all those places immense quantities of woollens, ironmongery, ware, and other goods. the produce of Yorkshire. Its trade is never interrupted by ice; no frost, however severe, was ever known to shut the port, and ships at all seasons, and in all weathers, may enter and find shelter in the Humber; and of late the Parliament of Great Britain hath passed an act for the regulation of pilots, conducting ships into, and out of the Humber, which effectually prevents abuse and imposition.
With the United States its trade hath greatly increased of late years, and being so well situated for the sale of their produce to the large internal manufacturing towns in England, and for the exportation of tobacco and West-India produce to Germany, Holland and the Baltic must increase further, particularly as cargo consisting of woollens, earthen ware, cutlery, and all kinds of implements for husbandry, together with alum, copperas, lead, &c. can be obtained as freight back to the states. Hemp, linens, iron, cordage and all other articles, the produce of Russia, Germany, and the states, bond ring on the Baltic Sea on the Baltic Sea, can here also be obtained on easier terms than in any other port in Great Britain, and at a season when the ports in those countries cannot be approached for ice.

THE CARRIERS of this Gazette, have been strictly forbidden either to sell or give away, any of their papers; and should the Editor detect, or receive information of any person attempting to seduce them from the line of their duty, he will employ legal means for redress. It has become a serious inconvenience, and those who are friendly to the interest of this paper, are requested to give such information as may be in their power on the subject, and they will confer an obligation on THE EDITOR.
It is requested that Gentlemen who are neglected by the Carriers, will not permit several days to elapse without giving information of such neglect; but immediately give notice. They SHALL be served regularly.
To Readers and Correspondents. We are tormented daily with the tuneless rhymes of many a pretended poet, as unlike to POPE and DRYDEN, as a farthing candle and the classical lamp. From internal evidence, bad spelling, hobbling verse, and profligate sentiments, we conclude that the articles in question, proceed from the Jacobins. "Each songster, riddler, every nameless name, All crowd, who foremost shall be damn'd to fame, Some strain in rhyme, the muses on their racks, Scream, like the winding of ten thousand jacks."
We hope the author of "Notes on Gallatin" will continue his fiscal researches. The Genevan sophist, in his eagerness to give the public debt a false and bloated appearance has finally involved himself in the common logical error of proving too much. Gallatin and his crew we understand, are much mortified at a consequence flowing from his own principles. His object is to show that our debt is greater than Treasury Reports and Congress Committees make it. He avers that the official statements of the amount of bonds receivable was erroneous, because the people, that is the United States, still owed the money, the amount of those bonds. Now it follows, that if what people of the United States owe the people of the United States be a false item in the document, the public debt due to our own citizens, is not due at all. Thus, the would be Chancellor of our Exchequer has cancelled the Public Debt, in the midst of his labors to make it appear larger than the life to every Jacobin eye. We would suggest to the author of "The Notes," to pursue the subject, to divide his discussions into small parts, in the form, for example, of Letters, and to employ that simplicity of style, and perspicuity of reasoning, for which Dean Swift was so conspicuous in his masterly "Examiners."
"DICK VULCAN," to-morrow. The Insurrection of the Negroes in the southern states, which appears to be organized on the true French plan, must be decisive with every reflecting man in those States of the election of Mr. Adams and Gen. Pinckney.
The military skill and approved bravery of the General, must be peculiarly valuable to his countrymen at this trying moment. He is not one of those who shrinks from danger, He has met it, and, when occasion requires he will meet it with firmness in its most horrid form. We congratulate our fellow citizens of South Carolina on the possession of this Gallant Soldier at this Important crisis. To him they may look with confidence for every aid which courage and talents can supply.
For the 24 hours, preceding Saturday morning, (from-11) there were 28 deaths in Baltimore and Fell's Point. Total of sick remaining in the Hospital with the prevailing disease, 32. Convalescents since last report, 12. Discharged cured, ditto 3.
Mr. Holland, is elected Member of Congress from North-Carolina, in the place of Mr. Dickinson. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Charleston, (S. C.) to his friend in this city, dated Sept. 13, 1800. "I have just recovered from a severe attack of the yellow fever. It has been very fatal among the northern people. The principal part of those who have taken it have fallen victims. "The negroes have rose in arms against the whites, in this country, and have killed several. All the troops of Light Horse ordered out by the Governor, to suppress the insurrection under the penalty of 15 pounds sterling, for every private, and in proportion to the officers. It is expected there will be serious work before they are subdued."
A gentleman from Charleston mentions that this insurrection had caused a very serious alarm in the city. Some reports stated the number of the insurgents, who were embodied about 30 miles from the city, to be four or five thousand strong, and others decreased their numbers to 7 or 8 hundred. However this may be, the citizens were unfortunately backward in turning out, owing to the sickly state of surrounding country. Many chose rather to pay the penalty than run the risk of falling a prey to the fever which generally attacks those inhabitants of Charleston that venture into the country in the autumnal months.
The following notice has been published in the Boston papers;—It seems probable from the nature of the notice, that some suspicions of the design of the Negroes are entertained, and we regret to say there is too much cause.
BOSTON, September 16. Notice to Blacks.

The testimony of a number 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 preventive; and further, that in the earlier stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases deemed desperate and beyond 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 superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eye, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infalible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.
