NEW YORK, SEPT. IS.
A meeting was held at the City Coffee-house,
Philadelphia, on Thursday, agreeable to public ad-
vertisement, on the , sobjea of Spanish wrongs.
Upon the extent And measure of the wrong, them
wee but one opinion, and a draft of a memorial to
. Government on the subjeft was offered to the niee:-
log by ease of the sufferers, which is referred to a
committee of three Gentlemen to report.
The memorial states, that from the aggression
and depredation by Spanish subjeets, under the
connivance of the Government and I.y the snbor-
dinate Governments of His Catholic Majesty, a
considellible number of their fellow citiaens have
been deprived of their p:ope: ty, suffered insult, in-
jury, and cruelty. Alive to those wrongs, repre-
sentations were made to the Government of the
United Stater, while others vented ttreir sufferings
;nese public prints, the records of which will bear
ample testimony of the severe afffiCtiuns of the citi-
zens from their sources.
That during the 'continuance of these hostilities,
in which Spain Way a pariy, and her own maritime
commerce annihil tied, her policy diiFtated, and
adopted a system different from the usual routine of
Spanish traffic. The vessels of the United States
were invited and permitted, our merchants were
lured and en;,raged to convey the perishing produce
of those colonies to the mother country. Many
valuable vessels were engaged for that purpose,
they arrived ir, their colonies and were Admitted ;
but no sooner was peace known, than the former
rigid system (.1 Spain was renewed, their owe licences
abrogated, and these vessels, their officers and ,CA.

LOX DON,
MONDAY, Nova men b.

The ROYAL FainLir arrived at Windsor on Fri-
day. His M A EST ris expeted in town this day at
the QU LEN'S House, where he will hold a Privy
Council. It is said that the 7tscoao►.a's report of
convicts at the Old 13.iley will be laid before
and that a further prorogation at Parliament will
also be takes into consideration.

The fir Ids on Saturday experienced an advance of
about a quarter per cent. Some attributed it to a
report of immediate hostilities with Spain, in conse-
qnence of the refusal of the Court of Madrid to give
a satisfadory answer to our Government. We have
not, however, been able to learn that any intelli-
gence of so decisive a nature has h-en received from
Spain. The rise in the funds was pre's-ibly affected
by the accounts received in the morning from Ame-
rica. The New York Papers and private letters
come down so late as to the Ist of Oariber, and con-
tain a variety of particulars, which make it probabl,
that, in a war with Spain, we shall have America for
our Ally. &lie of the circumstances which fsvour
this presuntrtion use in a preceding column.
A letter from OW C..rrespor.dent in 241,.w York. dated
Sept. SO, says,—.. We arc all upon the tenter-hook of
expedatiws f a w.tr with Spain; a thing, 1 assure you.
much wisl.el for I,y the great body of the Americans.

,

• ,:

A messenger arrived a few days since from our Mi-
nister at Madrid, who brought dispatches which,
it is said, put the question out of doubt. He was
to follow in a few days after. The French
frigates still remain in our harbour, bl.ckaded
by the Leander and the Cambria's. It is generally
supposed that they may escape in the winter, when
the severity of the season will compel the Euglisii
frigates to put into port."

If the contents of a private letter from Fr anhfort,
brought by the last liarnburgh Mail, be entitled to
credit, the Cabinet of Vienna has discovered a new
intrigue of Bona, aszte, of vital importance to the
interests of the German Empire. It is no less than an
attempt of the Corsican, by bribes, threats, and pro-
mises, artfully dealt out among the German Princes,
according to their wants, weaknesses, and passions,
to secure, at the Diet of Ratisbon, his election
as king- of the Romans, and the consequent rank
and dignity of Emperor of Germany. The out-
rageous ambition of the Corsican gives an air of pro-
bability to every plan of aggrandisement imputed to
him, however extravagant ; yet we du not place im-
plicit confidence in this report, because it would be
inconsistent with sound policy, to disclose such a view,
it he really entertains it, until the conclusion of a
prate u ith England. Having, however, choson
CHARLES/ AGNS for hie model, like him he will, no
doubt, claim, fight for, and endeavour to obtain,
the Imperial diadem of Germany, as well as that of
France, should he survive FR A 04C IS 11. and the
united arms of England and Russia. We might
add, those of Prussia and Austria; for surely the
discovery of such a plan must unite these two
powers, and convince them of the necessity of
making common cause with Russia and England,
AgtiltA France. In this view of Bon ae•rt z's
policy, his invitation to most of the German Elec-
tors to be present at his coronation, is not a mere
compliment, but a cunning artifice, for the further-
ance of his plans of vanity, and personal aggran-
disement. His ticrene Highness, the Ele&tor, Arch-
tbancellor of Germany, is already upon his way to
Paris, to salute his Imperial Highness, JOSEPH
Bow ar a ItTi. the Grand Eleelor of France, and to
fraternise with his Serene Highness, the Arch-
Chancellor of France, the regicide CAMIIACERES.
The Rater of B►nen has obtained, on account of
his great age, a reprieve from the punishment of
thi. disgraceful journey ; *out the Eleftural Prince,
his heir apparent, is put into requisition, and will,
with the J oral Prince of WIRTES.II:RO, dance
atteadance at the coronaton of the revolutionary
Emperor of France. A real or pretended indisposi-
tion has been accepted by the Usurper, as an apo-
logy for the absence of the Zleetor of Ilss.a ; but his
eon rid heir apparent cannot plead the same excuse,
and must obey the summons of Bore AP ART E, or re-
linquish all hope of obtaining the free and Imperial
City of Frankfort. The Eleaor of BAVARIA must
also keep the latter in countenance, or be obliged to
give up to Austria the Banks of the Inn. Although
these five Princes constitute nearly a plurality in the
Eleiaoral College, as long as Hanover is occupied
by France ; the public prints of France and Ger-
many have orders to sound the public opinion, by
pnblerhing a new projea of indemnities, for certain
Princes, by new territorial arrangements in Ger-
many. and the creation of two new Eleetors. For
the possession of these revolutionary dignities, ru-
mour nominates the Landgrare of Hesse DA em-
s r Apr, and the Prince of Nasssu•Ustwosw, both
of whom did homage to the Corsican at Mentz, and
will attend his coronation at Paris, should they he
able to b.Trow money to defray the expence of their
journey. Tire latter of these Princes has just given
up to Los: spa as e the Island of Petersair, on the
Rhine. But,though this new ambition of the Corsi-
can startles the observer at first view, it is intrinsi-
cally of less real weight and importance, than many
of his other plans. He already exercises an un-
limited right of sovereignty over Baden, over Ham-
burgh, itc. and cote and carves the German Empire
At his will and pleasure.

Public Papers and private letters, received on Sa-
turday, from America and the %Vest Indies, bring
farther particulars of the efredfs of the dreadful hur-
ricane which visited so large a part of the Western
world in the Later end of August and beginning of
September.
At Dominica—the Nytes, S A NEIL A mn, of London,
the risaieth and the Concord. of Dublin, with Is
other vessels, were driven on shore at Rousseau
upon the 9d; fourteen of them vr...re entirely log.
At Prince Rupert's. the Ospere sloop of war was
driven on shore, and obliged to cut away her niasts,
and throw ber guns overboard. • At St. Thomas'
the number of vessels, independent of small tsar,.
driven on shore:arsion,ted to SO, of which number
eleven were totally lost. and. with Four of these, the
crews pelished. All the European ships escape.!,
except one, an English brig, and the other, an Eng-
lish ship, with 180 slaves, but it was expeeed that
both will be got of. Not a life was lost. At

.

• .

nique, every vessel in the Roalt or St. Pierre's
was driven on shore, and, with the exception of
live, totally lost. At Barbaloes, on the •4th of
September, the stormtwas attended with tam ible
thunder and lig%tning. The latter *struck the water
rnill at St. Ann's, and partly destroyed it. At the
ahove.menti.ined date, the tempestuous weather was
increasing in the bay, and great apprehensions e ere
entertained for the merchant ships, as well as fur
the Centaur man of war and eterietvc brig. Six ves-
sels, mostly Americans, had been driven ashore ; and
the Crlitiqr was observed to drag her anchors with
great violence, and to near the shore considerably.
During these distressful circumstances, a gang of
villains employed themselves in breaking open and
plundering several of the stores. At Gua.lalnupe,
twelve sail were lost. At Martinique, twenty-eight
were lost, fourteen of which were American,. At
Jamaica, a viole hurt ;cane was experienced '.n t! e
29th of August, when the Pique frigate was com-
pletely dismasted, and two American vessels entirely
lost. It prevailed from the 2,1 to the sth, at St.
Ortiz, but did no particular damage. Curacoa was
wholly exempt.

A letter from Savannah, George-Town, Itted
10th September, says—" It is impossible to describe
to you the Insses and appearance of things here,
goods, buildings, dead bodies, animals, &c. among
the ruins, shock the eye ; and the distresses of the
merchants, Sm. are indescribable; several have net
saved a book or a paper of value. The loss in the
city has not been so great, although truly calamitous.
A number of lives were lost ; houses, chimneys,
trees, &c. have fallen, and covered the city with rub-
bish. The islands around us, and river, rice, and
swamps, have been totally inundated, and thim.avJa
tt. she inh46itants drogined, principally negroes, but
several respe&able families areamongst the sufferers!"
The storm commenced at Savannah on Friday
night; on Saturday morning it abated, but en-
creased at nine, and continued with destructive via.
lance until ten at night, the wind generally from
the North, but latterly shif.ing from N. to N. E.
All the wharfs have been destroyed, and many of
the warehouses on them have shared the'saine fate.
Every vessel in the harbour was either stink or
thrown upon the wharfs. Parts of the Episcopal
Church, of the Pr sbytirian Meeting House, of the
F.,:change, of the Bank, Court House, Gaol, &c.
have been blown down, with numerous private
houses. Captain Wesa and two children were ki:led
by the falling of houses. On Hutchinson', Island,
and the other rice plantations, in the vicinity of Sa-
vannah, the sufFerit.g. of the people were peculiarly
great. All the buildings on these places, almast with-
out an exception, were swept away, together with, is
