The continual depredations upon our commerce,by
French and Spanith cruizers, call aloud for the inter-
potition of Government. Scarcely a Jingle velTel, let
ber deltination be what it may, that falls in with a
French or Spann privateer, efcapes without being
captured or plundered.
Letters by the Hannah, from New Orleans, arc to
the 2oth ult. ; they continue to (late feveral occur-
sences which lead to a fuppofition, that a Rate of tran-
quillity cannot be long maintained. The Marquis de
Cass*. Ca evo had left New Orleans for Nachitoche,

which occafinned various conjectures. It was very
onfidently afferted, that a very confiderable body ofl
leavalry had arrived on the Wellern frontier, either
with a view of ctoffing thence to the Florida', or to
remain there ready fur any fudden emergency. The
igate Pomona had arrived at Penfacola, and landed
stoo men. Thefe circumaances, it is added, very na-
; wally awaken in us (Iron apprebenfions of the con-
tinuance of peace.
We underliand the United States frigate, Congrefs,
Captain Decavue, in confequence of orders from
the Secretary of the Navy, has returned to Hampton
Roads. Orders. we are told, are lodged for the
other Commanders of the United States thips of war
is remain in Hampton Roads, and not to proceed up
to Wafhington as origioally intended. It is to be in-
ferred from there cireumnances, that there is an ex-
',citation that th:fs: ihips will be wanted for immedi-
ate ftrvice. The Tunifiaa Ambaffador, and his fuite,
proceeded to Wafhington in a packet.
Trig as our paper was putting to pres, we were
informed, from undoubted authority, that the Con.
grefs'frigate is ordered out upon a cruile immediate.
ly. 'Some orders, it is alto Rated, arc fent to Capt.
STIWART, of the Conflellation.—( Nor. L'4.)
Yetteroav, came up from the Congrefs frigate, in
Hampton Roads, his Excellency Sir Sint SOLYMAN
Mct.susr.r, Ambaffador from the Bey of Tunis to the
United States, attended by two of his Secretaries.—
They viii:ed Fort Netfon on their way up, by which
they were fainted upon landing. Afterwards they
proceeded to town, and dined with a fele& party, at
Bainbridge's Hotel, accompanied alto by Captain
DECATUR, and feveral of his officers.
In the evening, the Mayor, and feveral refpeitable
gentlemen of the town, vifited the Ambaffador, to
whom they were prelented by Captain Dacerua ;
and this morning, accompanied by his two &Cre
te:les, he returned the silks to the Mayor and (date
other gentlemen. We do not know when they leave
town, but underfland they only wait for so fair wind
to proceed in the frigate to Wafhington. The no-
velty of their appearance, and their magnificent COJI
iLiff2C, in the true Turkilh Rile, attratled more atten-
tion than comported with good' breeding • they did
not, however, appear difpleafed, but teemed to attri-
bute it to a right caufe. The Ambaffador appears
turned of fifty years of age, of a grave, dignified de-
portment.
By the arrival of the Swift, yeflerday morning,
from the Havannah, we are informed, that Moray
before her failing, a frigate with Soo troops on board,
had been fent over to Penfacola ; and that the fchoo.
nor Letitia, FRANKLIN, of this port, captured by
a Spanifh privateer, on her voyage to New Orleans,
had arrived there, and no proceedings bad been
adopted, in confequence of the captain of the priva-
teer being at Mariel. The Intendant, however, had
fent for him, and it was mated her cafe would be
immediately confidered. No pretext is affigned for
the capture. It was believed at Havannah, that the
would be liberated, but not without long detention
and ferious lof..—(Phil. True Jul.)
We have the pleafure to announce the arrival of
General EATON (lays The Norfolk Ledger ;) he came
paffenger in the Franklin, from Gibraltar. General
EATON landed at Hampton yelterday, and proceed-
ed this morning to Wafhington.
CURIOUS RELics.—Near the Great Mad, on the
well branch of the Sufquehannah, there has lately
turn difcovered a depofitory for the dead, confining
or feveral lengths of humafl body ; the hole is in a

ART, 22, 1805.
"I have witneffet a fcene of warfare, beyond my
expeaatien fevere and fatal.—At daylight on the
loth init. the enemy made a general attack upon all
our batteries and trenches, and killed and wounded
a great number; hut as there were near Toe Euro.
peens in them, and two or three battalions of lea-
pays, they were repulfed with great lots; at three
o'clock on the fame day the ftorming party advanced
to the bread), but filch a determined oppofition was
made by the enemy, and the breach itfelf Co difficult,
that after an hour's exertion the whole fell back. On
the 211 t the whale of the Europeans in camp volun-
teered to Rorm again, and declared they would eithet
die in the breach, or get polfeflion of the height,
four of the belt battalions accompanied them, and
marched from camp at about half pall two o'clock :
the Europeans and Seapoys rushed on with she moll
determined bravery • and, although many at a time
were blown up by the enemy, without the pability
of revenging themfelves, the reft rutted on, and
were blown away from guns, fpeared, (hot, and logs
of wood thrown down upon them, in short, as fart as
they advanced they were deftroyed by the enemy.
They continued in this fituation two hours, and nei-
ther our Europeans or Seapoys Teemed inclined to
withdraw ; at laft the whole furviving plunged back
into the ditch, falling on each others [words and bay-
onets, and only few reached the battery with found
heads ; upwards of t zoo men were killed and wound-
ed in thefe attacks. Since the army left Agra 18
officers have been killed, and above too wounded.
The officers killed in the laR are as follows : Captain
Stewart, of the 75th ; Major Menzies, A. D. C. Capt.
Corfield, 76th ; Lieut. Templeton, ditto; Lieutenant
Lumfdaine, 9 N. I. Lieut. Ker, Bth ; Lieut. Hartley.;
15th ;Lieut. Gowan, Artillery ; Lieut. Chance, Eu-;
ropean Regiment ; Lieut. Hamilton, ditto ; and
Capt. Hawkes, 2 N. L are mortally wounded, aid
two Bombay Officers killed ; the wounded are very
numerous, amongil whom I know Capt. Nelly, Ma-
jor Hammond, Major Radcliffe, Captains Ker, Du-
rant, &c. Etc. One column, which was Cent to the
right of the ftorming party, drove the enemy from a
ltrong fortification, and took 13 guns.
" We withdrew all our gum and troops laft night
from the batteries and trenches, and the enemy tri
umph over us ; however, I truft we (hall yet get at
them, as I know General Lake's fpii it. and feel con-
fident we (hall attack them in tome other point ; they
are a molt refolute fet of fellows, and when they
attacked our trench, every cut they made at the Eu-
ropeans took off an arm, or a head, at a ftroke.—
Scindia has taken the field, and we Stall Coon have
him here.
" In the return of eafualties in the army on the
aoth and at ft, there amears as follows
Officers killed and wounded, 56; privates 2300."

The following letters, containing other particulars,
reached us this morning :

66 By the ALcrestts, of 3: gun!, arrived here, I
have learnt that, Come days fence, whilft cruizing in
company with la Lola', of 4o guns, they perceived
►en fail of veffels--afterwards clearly defcried them
to be fix fail of the line, two frigates, and two brigs ;

♦NOTHE% LETTER, SAKE DATE.
" The ALCMENE frigate has brought the following
important intelligence : That on the t rth inft. the

conjeaures, confifting of le Majefteaux of 130 guns,

44. 16. long to. 30. beating againa a foul wind,
for Rochefort ; the Louts dodging them.

" Admiral CORNWALLIS will be after them inftant-
ly. I hear he grumbles much at the fquadron getting
out from Brett, which fell in with the Ocean cartel
on the t6th, in lat. 47. 30. long. 7°.—He can hardly
believe it poftible they are from Breit, but the Mailer
left on board has offered to make affidavit of the fa&
of the fquadron which boarded the Ocean, not being
the fame the Atcrisna faw.

41 Indeed the difference of three degrees of latitude,
and three of longitude, appears to juftify the idea of
the enemy's flips being two diftina fquadrons.
P. S. Admiral Coen WAL LIS is under weigh, and
will probably take with him the (hips from Torbay."

From the falls Rated in the above letters, there
can be little doubt a fquadron has efeaped from
Breit. Their deftination is fuppofed to be the Weft
Indies, as Tome of the people reported who boarded
the Cartel and the Tiber. Nothing, however, is
known certainly refpefking their deftination, and
hopes are entertained that Admiral Coe awa 1. cis will
be fortunate enough to fall in with them.
_ _ _

The Rochefort finadron is by this time probably
in port.

Letters from Holland to the 2 ift have, it is re•
ported, reached town ; but they bring nothing in
addition to what was publithed in the Hague State
Gate& on the 13th.
Letters from Berlin of the 1 tth intl. repeat the in-
telligence we have already had. They [late that a
courier had, on that day, arrived from M. Rum.
wirz, with the accounts of the battles on the sd, 3d,
and 4th ; that the Ruffian infantry fufiained a
defeat on the ad, occafioned by the um:l:ldled open-
ing of a /stalked battery of t 8 pieces of cannon, by
which about issooo of the Ruffians were in a fhort
time cut off ; that on the 4th, General KIITUsow,
and the Princes PANORAMIC and Latotattrrsts
turned the right wing of the French, and gained a
complete viCtory ; and that the Ruffians retook the
cannon, and liberated the prifoners they had loft on
the ad.

We are run, however, without any official accounts
of the proceedings of the Allied Army; for the above
can only be confidered in the light of any other pri-
vate letter, though the news is laid to ref on dif-
patches from M. Haucwivz.—The two Hamburgh
'Mails now due, and which are hour), mated, will
probably bring the details that are fo ansioufly looked
for.
