By the Schooner Adventure, ;2 ' days_ from
Cape FrarZcois, we learn that many of the negroes,
rather than trust .to:the promises of the French Ge-
iierrds, keep the field, and are determined. to die
with arms in their hands ; that they keep up a con-
tinual alarm .within a few miles of the Cape ; that
!about rs•days ago, a considerable firing was heard
lby the shipping for the space of_two hays, said to
ibe between the NegrOes and a body of French,
ibut the issue they id,id .not learn. Our informant
further adds, that the French have lost a great num-
ber of men by the bullet,_ as well as by the fever.
That a reinforcement of 8000 troops had arrived,
and an additional one was hourly expeaed.
It affords us the highest satisfaaion to find, that
the Board of Health of the City of Philadelphia
consider it no longer necessary to continue its re-
ports. We sincerely hope, that the alivity of
Commerce will immediately revive,, and fully corn,'
,pensate the Citizens and Merchants of Philadelphia
:for the interruption to their industry and trade cc-
:casioned by the late sickness.
Extraa of a Letter from a Gentleman at St. Mary's,
Georgia, to his friend at Newhaven, dated Sep_
. tember 18, 18oz.

" A gentleman arrived here this day from St.
Augustine, who brings us the agreeable informa-
tion of a Treaty between the Governor of the Spa-
nish Provinces and the Indians. He says the In.
dians have returned all the slaves and a great num,
ber of horses, which they had taken from the Spa-
niards, and the white people that had fled from the
province were fast returning—that Bowles refused
to attend the Treaty, and the Indians
_had sent a
party to take him and bring him in, .and it was
thought they would get him, as he had no person
with him except a white man of the name of Harris,
froM Georgia."
