KINGSTON (JAMAICA), JULY 4.

During the fevere Iwrall on Monday afternoon,
the (hip Baronefs Lnnguieul, lying off Mefirs. Dick,
M'Call and Co.'s wlitaf, unfertunately upfet, and
nearly went under water. The crew, with the ex
ception of a cabin boy, clung to the fides, and were
picked up immediately after : the boy was firppoled
to have been drowned, having gone down with the
(hip, but happily the lucctediug morning, while cx
ertions were making to tight her, he was difcovered
at the cabin window, and taken out, quite exhauiled
by a boat which was :rafting by. It appears that he
had gnt into a fituati'.n where he vas jni enabled to
keep his head above water, having a !.1 I footing with
his feet, and a hold above with his hand, and in that
perilous Hate did he remain until fo providetrially
laved. There are great hopes the aerie' will be
laved, being very light, and every endeavour ufed by
cutting away her top maitg, clearing the rigging,&c.

NEW YORK, AUGUST ie.
It will be teen by the report of the City Tapeflew;
publifhed this day, that the number Of deaths re-
ported in the laft week, does not exceed what is
ofual at this feafon of the year. 'the difeafes moll
fatal, are theft which are common At all featins, and,
except the influenza, of which but two have died
out of the thoufands who may be fail to be labouring
under it, there is nothing that can cache the final-
left alarm. Rumour, with her ten thoufand tongues,
has, we underhand, given us the yellow fever ; but,
thank GPIs, we are dill free from even a fymptom
of it ; and if, by his providence, we are bleffed with
the fame mild weather, which has charaaerifcd the
palling feafon, we fhall be under no apprebenfion of
its approach.

41 On Sunday laft, the Britifh feamen and officers

fervice. The companies retained are to be under the
command of Major Thomas Newton.
EXTRACT OF A LETTPR FROM HAVANNAH, DAMS
JULY 10, TO A RESPECTABLE MERCANTILE HOUSE
IN THIS CITY.
44 An order was iffued yefterday from the Inten-
dant to the Colle&or of the Customs, to examine all
goads in the Cullom Houle at pt efent, and fuch as
may enter hereafter, with inflrudliont, t 3 detain, for
the prefent, fuch as may appear to be of Englifli
maltufaeluter until further orders. This is the &ft
Ilep towards a general prohibition of Englifh manu.
faattre ; bat we prefume it hardly porlible that our
Government will proceed to extremities, until due
entice (hall be given to our merchants, through the
Meditim of your new fpapers."
" Just( 13.—The order we mentioned in ours of
the loth, has been put into execution, and all the
Englifh merchandise or manufaflures in the Cullom
Houle have been detained, but we apprehend they
will be difpatched, and that for lonic time to come
their introdalion will be winked at. 'l'his Rep of
our Government has its origin in the High Admi-
ral's order, publifhed in your paper, for we under-
hand it has not been received here officially ;—but
until yonr merchants get further adviccs on this fob-
jct.}, !hi will do well to fufp:nd their fltipments of
Englifli goods."
AUGUST tz.—The following letter has been ad
dreffed by Captain Barron, late of the frigate Chefs-
peak, to the Editor of the Public Ledger, at Norfolk :
Sir—l have obferved fevetal publications in the Herald, and
other print calculated to injure my chat-rats, and !lave &midi
it only necelkry to fay, that I have ken them without cui,lidering
it my duty to reply, as a Court of inquiry will Moray convoie
for the purpofe of inveftigating the al air of the Cherapeak and
Leopard ; and, through that channi.l, the public may cape& a
eorredt knowledge of fads; therefore any publieltio,: on my part
would be 'skids and improper. Something more ful flantial than
the mere declarations of the parties concerned will be required.
R tfpedfully, I am. Sir, purl, &c. (Signed)

A letter from Savannah, dated July 17, lays—
" By a gentleman juft arrived in [hi. city, in twenty•
four days from Penfacola, inform:nit:it has been re•

AUGUST 14.—There are at prelim 24 gun boats,
fully equipped at the Navy Yard in this ;dace, under
the command of Commodore Rogers, ash
flionly proceed to Wafhington, to bring the frigate
United States to this putt. There is a rustrair that
a 74 gun (hip will be immediately built hue. The

We learn, from a refpeaable Isurcer that the
Narrows are to be immediately fortified. Thia de-
let tnination will not only pleafe the citizens at large,
but will afford more complete fecurity to on: harbour
than if fortified in any other place. The Narrows
can be made as Itrong, if not fironger, than any
place in the world—and though it may colt a mil
lion and a half of dollars, it is nothing compared
with the benefit which will refult to the United
States, and particularly to the growing commerce of
this city.— New Tork Gdz.ettc.
A gentleman Teem ly from Montreal, informs us,
that while there he heard it reported, that the. Go-
vernment had chartered fix veft:ls for taking down
to Q2ebec the cannon and military lyres which were
at Montreal, St. John's, &c. and that it was the
prevailing opinion there, that it a war broke out
between England and the United States, no attempt
at defending that province would be made except at
Q.l2eliec, where a vigorous and determined hand
would be made; and for which purpofe it would be
immediately put in the beft poffible flate of defence.
He further adds, that when palling St. John's, &c.
on his wiry hiller, he obfeived the military ext'eme-
ly holy in the removing of cannon, dec. which he
understood were to be fent down to Qxebec with all
pollible ,iifpatch.—.4.av Gazette.
It is hated in a Pittiburgh Paper, that the Btitifh
met chasas at Michilimakinac refute purchaflng any
articles c f country produce from the Arneticans,
and are preparing to remove their effects from our
ten itory. It is further hated, that the difficulties
with the Indians on that frontier are fuel', as to ren-
der it unfale to travel from Citicago, to Detroic by
land—ib.
