Vtre'grieve to state that, by the dispatches front
Admiral SAWYER, the melancholy intelligence of
the loss of his Majesty's shooner Chub has been
received. It appears, that on the 23d ult. in a
gale of wind, she upset, and every soul on boaad
unfortunately perished.
Both Houses of Congress adjourned.on the 6th
July. They meet on the 2d of Nov. Duringf,ltext
Session they will consist of the same Members.—
The election of new Members for the House of
Representatives comes on in November next; the

character and duration of the war.
The Government of the United States are mak-
ng to occupy the whole of East Flo-
rida. At the date of the last accounts, orders; hod
been transmitted to Col. Smith, to resume offen-.
'Zi,Ve operations against St.. Augustine, and 1,400
troops had been detached from. Amelia Island; to
assist in its reduction.
Letters from Jamaica mention that PeTroer had
advanced to Cape Francois with 12,000 men, and
that that seat of his late rival's 'power had quietly
submitted to his authority. The garrison consist-
ed of 300 men. The treasure which CHRISTOFHE
had amassed by the most unjust exactions, to the
amount of seven mfilions of, dollars, had fallen
into his hands. Periora, it is said, had issued a
Proclamation, declaring that this money
_should
-be applied in establishing the affairs of the island.
Government' have received dispatches from Mr.
THORNTON, announcing the result of the Congress
01 Abo, and the removal of the obstacles which
had hitherto opposed the, active co-operation of
the Swedes. In anticipation of this agreeable in-
telligence, orders had been transmitted for the
sailing of a fleet of transports from Sheerness,
under convoy of the Starling, destined to be em-
ployed in the Swedish expedition, Subsequently,
that nothing might retard the progress ofthis
fleet, orders were transmitted that no merchant
Ship should be permitted to avail itself of the

The last mail from Heligoland brought the fol.-
lowing coomunicetion
" HELIGOLAND, SEPT. 10a— The same rigorous
aystem- continues to be enforced on the 'opposite
coast, to prevent all intercourse with England, or
the sale of British goods. Bureau upon bureau
has been established to accomplish this object,
and. so organized as to be each a check upon the
other, and to make every individual belonging to
them interested in fulfilling his instructions ri-
gorously. Particular points are assigned on the
coast, at which. every vessel or
,boat must ren-
dezvous ; and should they put. in at any other
place, she is iminediately considered a smuggler,
and the master subject to..be shot. At Hamburgh,
no parcel nor paciaet whatever is allowed to be
forwarded till it has first been examined, and rea
ceived the seals of two or three officers of the
Customs or Police ; and any cask or package
:hipped must be separately examined and marked.
~„-t•D Denmark, the public sentiment towards the
En fish is said tr have become more favourable,
and a rerdation has lately been. published, per
initting English subjects, who have resided three
Years on the Danish frontiers, to travel in any
Part of the country."
We farther learn from this island, that the
enemy have assembled at the mouth Of the German
rivers about 60 gun-boats, which are constantly
on the look out, Manceuvring, and advancing
within 20 miles of Heligoland. Their shallow
draught enabled them to approach so near the
shore, that they were in no danger of capture
from our cruizers. It was in these vessels that
the Hanseatic youth who are drawn for the naval
conscription; were to acquire the rudiments of
nautical knowledge.
A 'umbel of small coasters are, from time ''to
taken into Heligoland, the value of ivhieli
‘rid not exceed 50 or 601.. while the condemnation'
cost 401.
