ANTicIpATioN OF
"INOTHER HAMBURGII

VIENNA, MAY 21.—The French. General Ala-
toikaosst had not proceeded farther than Munich, on
his return to Paris, when he found fresh orders to
return to this city, and Sas consequently arrived
here this day. At the same time M: TALLEYR.SND,
nephew to the French Minister, arrived with Dis-
patches to M. Ls .11.0CIIEFOUCAULT.
According to private letters from. Naples, Gaeta
will be attempted by storm in a few days. This.
fortress, rightly called the Little Gibraltar, holds out,
and is likely to hold out a considerable time. In.
consequence of the answer which the Prince of
HESSE returned to the last summons, the French
have established five new redoubts, three against the
fortress, and two against the Gun-boats, which have
annoyed them considerably. The place has re-
ceived very little injury from the French shells.
For want of men the garrison can, make but few
sorties, as its whole force does not consist of more
than eight hundred troops of the line, about
one thousand levy-en-nzasse,and two companies of ar-
tillery. The latter have lately been reinforced by
about 400 artillery-men, a proof that King FERDI•
NAND wishes the place to be defended. The suburb,
which has proved an obstacle to the Governor's ac-
tivity, has been levelled with the ground. His ma-
rine, as it is called, in the harbour, consists of eight
launches, a ti igate, .and twelve fishing vessels,- each
of them carrying a 4-pounder, besides some other
vessels, one of them a French Privateer of 12 guns.
The Prince is upon the batteries ,the whole day,
and sleeps tlpre the greatest part of the night. These
batteries, elevated upon heaps of stones, are so very
high, that it will be very difficult to enter them with
scaling-ladders. Of the batteries there are three
lines, besides a fortification called a Sega. Other
batteries cover the flanks of the place; and, exclusive
of these out-works, the whole of the ground is mined;
so that the entrance of the place, even by storm.
must be attended with very great loss. As to starv-
ing it, that will be extremely improbable, as the
present stock of provisions is respe&able, and can al-
ways he increased so long as the sea remains open ;
besides, the Prince can etfed his retreat by the same
channel whenever he may find it convenient.
After the example of Gaeta, another little fortress
in Abpuzzo, viz. Civitella del Fronto, continues to
defend itstlf. It is situated upon the summit of a
rock, and is defended by about fifty men, under an
Irish Major, who was formerly in the service of the
King of the two Sicilies.
HAMBURGH, MAY 30.—M. ADAIR, the newly
appointed British Minister to the Court of Vienna,
has- passed thro' this scity on his way to that capital.
We learn, that there are nine Swedish Vessels under
an embargo at Swineinunde ; on the other hand, we
hear that Admiral CEDERSTROM has .appeared off
Dantzic, with seven Ships of the Line. A Swedish
Frigate, of twenty-four guns, cruizes off Pillau ; and
sz.veral Swedish Gun-boats, it is said, will be ready
to sail from Malmoe in the course of a few days.
Forty Vessels have arrived here from Tonningen
within the last week ; and we have authentic intel-
ligence that the navigation of the Walters is again
Unrestrained.

We bear that the Prussian Troops in Lauenburgh
have received orders to hold themselves hi readiness
to march.

A few nights ago, as a six-oared boat,• belonging
to the Slag iteveime.Cutter, of Rye, was attempting
to board a Smuggling Lugger, off the town of
Tteal, 'the crew of the latter dis Charged several
muskets into the boat, and wounded John Russell,
and Robert Barham, the former so desperately, that
he has since died of his wounds. The Lugger Fm-.
mediately afterwards hoisted her foresail, and run on
.shore, where between two and three hundred men,
mostly armed, were assembled, to run the goods,
from the said Lugger and the contraband cargoes
of nine others, of different sizes, on their approach
to the shore. The roughness
,of the ,sea having
obliged the crew of the Revenue BOA to land,
they were surrounded' by the Smugglers, who
after disarming them, kicked and beat them se-
verely, stove their boat to pieces, and carried
away her mast, sails, arms, and oars. His Ma=
jesty's Pardon, and a reward of three hundred
pounds, are offered to any one or more of the
offenders (the M ,sters or Commande; s on board tha
said Luggers, and the persons who actually fired,
excepted) for the discovery of his or their aceom-
pikes in the .said murder and felony. The shots
-were supposed to have been fired from • the Betsey,
of Deal.

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE MEMORIAL OF THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND
COMMONAZTY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK,

RepeetfullY sheweth, that your Memorialists re-
pose full confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of
the present Administration of the United States :
they are sensible that the general Government is
disposed to afford a sufficient and adequate
,protec-
tion to every portion of the Union.
A melancholievent has taken place. This day
consigns to the grave the remains of JoSIN PIERCE,
a fellow-citizen, inhumanly and wantonly murdered
by the British. Our Port is blockaded, our Vessels
intercepted, our Seamen impressed, our Commerce
interrupted, and our jtirisdiaiOnal rights most gross-
ly violated. A British Squadron is now before our
Harbour, evincing a disposition to renew its out.
rao•6es,,and to perpetrate additional enormities.
.•We therefore \re.speElfully request that a Naval
Force may be immediately, stationed at this Port-;
and that three or more American Frigates may,
without delay, be sent for our prote6tion.

DE WITT CLINTON.
By Order of the Common Council,
T. WORTHMAN, :City Clerk.

NEW-YORK, 1114 Y 8.-•-By the Schooner Supply,
arrived at Baltimore: from Jacquemel, we learn, that
the Leander, LEWIS, with General MIRANDA and
his Troops, sailed from thence to the Spanish
Main on the 28th.of March, and may probably ar-
rive there, should no accident happen, between the
loth 'and 15th 'a April : the Leander was chaced
by a French Privateer, in lat. 23. long. 68. for seven
hours ; but escaped by superior sailing. Passed a
large Ship off Poplar Island, supposed to be ;he
Diana, from Liverpool.

Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at Washington, to his
Friend at PhiL►delphia, dated April 30, rBo6.

We have just received the intelligence from
New-York of the murder of PIERCE, by a shot
from the Leander. It has produced a strong Sell-
satiop here, and it is generally believed by those
with whom I have vouverscd that give Frigates 'os

• • •
be /ordered ithrnediately for Nev-York, and that
every VesSel . that 'can carry a gun will be imme-
diarely wit iii teadiness ; and that Congress will
he 'summoned to meet as early as the middle, of

. . ,
MAY 9.-L-MIRANDA, we learn by the way of Ra-
Vannah, has itade good his landing-on the Spanish
Main, (where we know not), and his been joined by
2.,560 Colonials.—(Boston Rep.) . .
The utmost confusion was- in the Provinee. of
Carraccas,- owing to the Captain General having
received, info rmation th General Mittitciii had
sailed 'troth New York for St. Domingo,, o take
-troops for the purpose of making an attack on the
Spanish' Main.
. •
Bosiow, MAY 9.—lt is now confirmed that Mi-
RANDA has made good his landing in the PrOvince of
Carraccas, and, that the Colonialsare rapidly joining
him.

What will be the answer of Mr. MAl:itsOri to
the communication he ,had from New-York?,--
Jestfitical' and evasive. Like - his answer to. the
NeW-York 'Merchants, it will be didated by Mr.
JEFFERSON, and like the other late produetions
of that great Statesman, perplex the Reader,
and leave him at liberty to understand what he
pleases, or nothing. It will not exhibit one sin-
gle sentiment of firm dignified patriotism. It may
contain an assurance that Mr. JEFFERSON will at
with his wonted wisdom ! which we, now un-
derstand to be-,-4o be patient under every wrong,
and, if required, pay tribute to those who will in-
sult us.

The affeaed resentment of the Democrats on ac-
count of the insult the American Nation has re-
ceived, at New. York, excites feelings among the
party which are :discovered to be dangerous ,to
'themselves. As soon as the popular cry is for re-
venge-r-for :War— Mr- JEFVERSOpi and " his friends
knew they are gone !—They have disarmed the
Couniry--,-they have stopped those little aukiliary
fountains which replenished Our Treasury, for exi-
genCies—the rapacity of, foreigners ha S been pal-
liated by the remains of our revenue. We are now
as poor in resources as we are in spirit.
Be it observed by all England-hating Democrats,
that the indignation which- the Federalists have ex-
pressed at the violation of our domain by the Leander,
the 'complaints they have made on this occasion, are
denominated by Tice Chronicle, once and again, In-
surreaion. Perhaps the remark is just7-for be who
will not under our present Rulers quietly submit to
outrages of every sort, and from every Nation, is an
insurgent against the spirit of Administration.
The question is frequently asked, what will be the
result of the late affair at NeW York ?--Qur opinion
is, thas if our Government make such a,remon.
strance as becomes them,. proper satisfa&ion will be
made. We hope England will not ask for tribute-
money, because the Hornet's cargo, which, Mr:
RANDOLPH informs us, is to be landed in France,
'took all the cash our Treasurrcould spare.
MAY 10.—By recurrence to ibrmer dates, we find
that General MIRANDA did not sail from Jacqgemel,,
on his Expedition against the SpaniSh Colonies,
until the 2,Bth of. March : it is not therefore very
probable that between " that time and the 20th of
April, the date of our Barbadoes account, he could
have made his voyage to Carraccas, made the interior
progress mentioned, and time sufficient be allowed
for the arrival of the news at Barbadoes. The pro-
bability is, that the Americans in that 'Province,
bearing of the Expedition, have•itard'aiversion
MIRANDA'S favour.
EQUAL AND EXACT JUSTiCE.”—Jefiirson.
The Federalists were the first to 'notice, 'and man-
fully to resent the outrages lately'committed off New
York by the Leander; at the time, too, when the
Democrats, in Order to screen the Administration
from its/shameful neglect of our PortS, asserted -the
murder was the etTea of accident. But what
the condutlof those humane Democrats when ore"
of our most worthy and valuable Fellow-CitizeliS,
Captain EDEN SMITH, was
,inhumanly mangled and
murdered by the French ?—Did they then put their
Papers in mourning ? Did they make Funeral Pro-
cessions,?—No, they left his fate to be mourned and
deprecated by his Federal friends, and held a bar=
barous and unfeeling silence. Let the Public, then,
compare this pemocratic silence on the death of
Ciptain SMITH with their recent &Hu& on the
death of PIERCE !—And let them judge' of their
motives and humanity.—( Columbian Centinel). .
' While Mr. JEFFERSON and his friends in Congress
are professing to seek peace and accommodation,
and to live on terms of good neighbourhood with
Great Britain, the Papers in his and their pay are
filled with abuse and invective against the Govern-
ment and,People of that Nation, which would have
been discountenanced and condemned by the Paris
Koniteur, even in the days of PERE DUCHENE.
Mr. KlNG.—This Gentleman has asserted, that
our Government has paid a tribute to France of two
millions of dollars. The allegation is either true or
false. If true, Mr. KING can prove it, and we now
call upon him for the proof: If false, and we affirm
that it is, let him bear the odium of the deliberate
slander.

No money has been dire&ly or indire&ly demand-
ed by France of the United States; none has been
offered, or is now intended to be offered, to France;
no other intention has existed, or any measures been
taken•bjr the Executive of the United :States, except
for the purchase from Spain of her possession East
of the 'Mississippi ; and that the only interposition
which can be expected from France, must consist in.
the good offices she may tender, resulting from her
general relative situation with the two Countries,
from her peculiar connetclion by Treaty with Spain,
and from her being the party from whoni we pur,
chased Louisiana.-(lVat. Intel.)

On Thursday last a Seaman on 'hoard the Ma-
rengo, a French Ship, at Portsmouth, got out of bed
from his wife, early in themorning, and, in-a fit of
insanity, jumped overboard. Every exertion was
made to save him, but in vain. ,The Quarter-Master
once caught him by the iinir of his head,: but he
struck against the peak of the anchor, and sunk to
rise no more. The body has not been found.

Ne .r Menliff-hill, ottersetshire, a few days
since, a shepherd, of the name of Coletrian, in the
84th year of his age, for a trifling wager, undertook
to eat 4 pounds of fat bacon, '3 pounds of bread, a
proportionate quantity of greens, and to drink a gal-
lo❑ of milk, warm from the cow, within an hour, all
which the hoary glutton devoured in 45 minutes,
and seemed to wish for more. -

where Captain GUtAltli, of the 23d Regitriet4 of

corps. Oh the 29th and 30th thP Enerny began to
fire from all his Vessels, and effetied a debatkation.
under a shower of bullet's from a great number of
armed Sloops: • Captain Guyitto, who had time to
take his Measures; suffered the Missians to advance
as far as the Greek Church of St. Veneraiida, where
hp Was intrenched. Then, at the head of his troops;
he charged the Russians with the baytinet (they
Were
.800 and the French only 500 in number),
overpiiwered them, and drove them, in the course
Of a Continued a6tioti, all the way to the sea, kill-
ing 45 men, wounding 60, and making 170 prison
ers; including 1 Captain, 2 Lieutenants, and 3 En-
signs. M, DUCHESNE, Lieutenant of Grenadiers,
Captain Eitinoux, the Gtenadier CHARREAU, and
Tom-Ain, Serjeant of the Voltigeurs, observing that
it was the objea of the Enemy to re-embark, threw
themselves into a Russian Boat itt the Moment the
Enemy entered it, And Made 'thethselVeS masters
both of the vessel and the men.

General MOLL ITOR was at Spalatfo ; be had
sent a reinforcement to the Garrisons in the Islands,
The Russians remained in the Road of Lessina two
days after this affiir. In the meln time several
pieces of cannon had arrived with a convoy from
Venice; for the Islands had been disarmed by the
Austrians. We' then
.fil'ed Upon the Enemy, and
-on the 7th of Mar the Russians weighed anchor
and disaplieared. During these proceedings a Rus-
sian Frigate with some troops appeared befc.:e the
Isle of Bra. The inhabitants ,sounded an alarm,
took arms, and joined the French Garrison—ii:o

of his Majesty's arrival will continue this day and
to-morrow. -This day the Ministers and MagistrateS
went to the Church of St. Clair to return thanks
for his Majesty's arrival. The English, who are

See the illumination. Four of their Ships have been
in sight Of the town. for these three days. On Sa•
turday- one of them approached Castel-amare ; but
the guns of the Fort soon obliged her tO keep her
distance.

Yesterday they approached the small Island of
Capri, and at night-tall we could distitialy per-
ceive the fire of their guns against the Island. Wt-3
have yet no account of the result ; but it cannot be
otherwise than unfortunate for them.

From the delay which is likely to take place in
transferring the Dutchy of Anspach to Bavaria, and
that which has taken place in. the delivery, at Ddo-
tors' Commons, of Letters of Marque against Prus-
sian Vessels—(for accounts to the 2gth from Lou..
don state, that. they had not theri been issued), we
have reason to hope that the differences between.
England and Prussia will be amicably settled : nor
do we, find 'any confirmation in the English Papers
of the report that an Army was to be embarked to
join the King of Sweden.
AATISBON, MAY 25..--Whatever might have been
at first proposed with respe4 to ceding the Dutchv
of Anspach to the King of Davaria, it is certain that
the French still keep possession of that Country,
without making any visible disposition to transfer it ;
and it ts,probable that this will, be the case till a
General Peace shall take place.
We exiled with impatience the • arrival of the
Courier who is to bring intelligence of the eva-
cuation of Cataro by the Russians.: however, lie
can scarcely be expeled before the loth er 12th'

- A new mineral has been discovered in Cornwall,
in one of the Gwennap Mines, where it -forms an
incrustafion round, projeecing particles of spongy
pyrites, which appear to contain a considerable por-
tion of cobalt. The colour of the mineral va I
froaya light ash to a dark brown ; it is of a ciuse
and polished texture, and breaks like flint. It par-
tides are very brittle, and when trite sated give out
a strong hepatic odour. It is soluble in nitric and
rnuriatic acids, precipitable by a kalies, and is likely
to be of much utility in the arts,
