The present state of the Continent Hill not allow
Cam to draw such a picture of it, and yet it is of
his awn seeking. At the very moment he is nego-
ciating with England, he is provoking a war with
Prossia, and ens wing new sacrifices from Austria.
If he seriously wished fur peace with England, it
is strange that he should voluntarily produce a state
of things which must operate against it. The hope
of a successful issue t, the negotiation OCCOMEG every
day less sanguine, and the funds feel the effe& of
this public sentimenst. The 0111 IIIUM left off yester-
day at 6.
We doubted yesterday the report of the capture
of the Isis, Rear-Admiral Sir Eassmos Gun en, and
are now happy to contradld it in positive terms. On
Saturday evening, the Capelia schooner arrived from
Newfoundland, at Portsmouth, with dispatches from
that gallant Commander, which state the arrival
of Sir JOHN WARREN and his squadron, at New.
foundland, in pursuit of .1 csout HON AP ART CS
squadron, which Sir Jona had not been so fortu-
nate as to come up with. The dispatches were im-
mediately forwarded to London.
We yesterday stated, that k was judged neces-
sary for Mr. Fox to undergo the operation of tap-
ping a second time. We have since learned that
this operation was autually performed at half-past
two o'clock, on Sunday, at Chiswick, by Door
CLiNS, in the presence of Dodors Moset.av,
Vaucoratt, and PITC MINI. Mr. Fox displayed
his usual fortitude upon the occasion. He was
taken by surprise; for although he was taught to
expel that another tapping would he necessary,
he had no idea that it would be so soon. About
fourteen quarts of water were extracted from him.
Mr. Fox found himself much relieved, though
very weak, after the operation. He was much bet-
ter yesterday.

A letter from Weymouth, dated August SO,
says, 't Our Jersey Correspondent informs us that
Capt. Bosweas., of the gut-brig Conquest, put in the

peace when he sailed, that they began to fit out their
merchant ships." ..

Step/tea Loorhington and the Earl Spencer Ea't India-
men, two whalers, and four store ships. The gal-

The late friends of WILLIAM FRAIL) and Jolla-
's-matt Raise, Esquires, in the botough of St. Ives,
who, upon those Gentlemen resigning their interest
there, premised their support to Sir Cmairroritee
Halve.% es, Bait. and SA WAIL STILPHINS, Esq. were
regaled last week, in a sumptuous manner, by the
latter gentlemen, who appear confident in their
etronsgth. A few days ago, Colonels MONT(IOI4rItY
and Sims, the rival Candidates of Sir C. and Mr.
S. also arrived at St. Ives, to pay their respe&s to
their friends in the boronh : some of whom were
so overjoyed at their appearance, as to take the
horses from their carriage, and draw them into the
town. Upon this occasion, we are sorry to add,
that a youth fell under the wheel of the carriage,
and had his leg broken.
Disturbances of a serious nature prevailed in the
beginning of June, between the Indians of the back
settlements of Georgia, and the Americans in that
quarter. The troops, it appears, had been with-
drawn from Louisville, in which there were a num-
ber of Indians, who soon after became refractory ;
and some Kickapoos threatened to kill all the wo-
men and children. One of them, in a state of intos-
ication, went out with this determination, and meet-
ing with Judge Moans, struck at his head with a
tomahawk, wl ich was turned off by his hat. 'Uhe
Judge seized the Indian, and, drew his knife half
out of the scabbard; at this instant, a young Irian
named HAMMOND, shot the Indian through the back
with a pistol ; but, instead of minding it, he ap-
peared more resolved to kill the Judge. HA maroon
then drew his dirk, and stabbed the Indian twice,
on which he f.-11 dead. This circumstance has ex-
cited the wrath of his tribe, and serious conse-
qtrences are apprehended. Mr. Haussoon will be
obliged to stand his trial for the murder. The In-
dian; have, in the mean time, retaliated, by killing
several white people.
