ceding Parr). that our dispute wilt Spain had been
amicably adjusted. is utterly errogentts, that our
Minister, as has been before stated, was obliged to

ran, that the Governor uf this State his suspended
the funtlions of Dr. Lynes Reynolds, as one of the
members of the hoard of Health.

On' Friday last, George Gotrirl was conviCted
before Judge Bodrne, on complaint of the Board of
Health, of making and spteading false and ground-
less reports, by asserting that many persons have
lately died of Yellow Fever, and been privately bu-
ried in the town of Boston ; and also, that the small
pot raged in that town ; with intent to excite the
fears and alarm the public mind.—(flortoi Ga:elie.l
In addition to the numerous embarrassment,
experienced by our commerce in every part of the
world, we have to add, that agreeably to a regula-
tion adopted in Holland, the 18th of June last,
American vessels bound to Amsterdam are com-
pelled to stop in the Terri Roads ; and surrender
all their papers, to be forwarded to Amsterdam
by land, to be inspected by the Dutch Commit-
-diluters of the Customs and the French Commercial
Commissary. The consequence is a delay from 1.0
to 14 days.--16d.

from Point Petre (Guar).

Captain Elliott, of the ship Ke-igh, arrived hers
last eviseirg, ieforros, that three days since he spoke
a Philadelphia 'pilot-hrSat, which had boardel the
ship New York, from Cadiz to Philadelphia, Navin;
on board General Moreau and family. By this day's
Mail we may expect to hear of the arrival of the
General.
Capt. Lark, of the shooner Sell',, on th firth of
July, its lat. 22. 11. long. 63. at four p.m. tell in
with the main-mast of a large ship, which he sup-
poses had been blown up, as part of the rigging and
sails were much burned ; picked up part of an Eng-
lish pendant, and a number of blocks, stamped with
an arrow, the customary mark of blocks belonging
to a King's ship ; saw another mast about a mile
distant, with all the yards and other spars attached
to it, and one of the bower anchors, with the cable
to it, hanging under the main top. There being a
hiith swell, and the weight of the anchor keeping
the mast nearly upright, Captain Lark could only
save a few spars and blocks. On one of the top-
gallant-yards, 0, Blenheim, G. R " is cut with a pen-
knife. His Majesty's ship Blenheim, of 74 guns,
was commanded by Captain Bland ; she does not
appear to he annexed to the fleet under Lord Nel-
son, nor, from the list published, :n that which
sailed from England under Admiral Collingwood,
neither do we find her name among those bet stated
to have been on the Jamaica station ; from the cir-
cumstance of her having her colours flying (which
Capt. Lark could plainly discern under water), it
is covjettured, that the ship must have been in ac-
tion when the accident happened. In lat. SI.
SO. Capt. Lark was boarded by the French priva-
teer Regulator, detained him an hour, and plundered
him of spun-yarn, blocks, &c.—put on board one
man, and a letter direeled to Mons. SaLustow, of
this city, inclosing the bill given by Capt. &cortex°
for the ransom of the ship Benjterrin. Left the pri-
vateer at the outer edge of the Gulf, stand.ag to the
southward.
