Naw You. Jaw. 15.—About the time the Dela-
ware, which arrived yetterday, failed from the Cape
of Good Hope, a (hip under American colours ar-
rived at that place, and fent her boats Arne for pro.
'limns. The Governor, fufpe6ing her to be an Eng-
lith veffel, feized ree men that manned the boats, and
put them in confinement. He, however, gave a let-
ter to Captain nurse, of the Delaware, addreffed
to the Captain of the fufpeaed veffeL Rating, that
if the was really American (he was at liberty to enter
the port. Captain F. delivered the letter, and found
the was an Englifh (hip, called the Jefferfon, former.
ly the Rattlefnake (loop of war, from Rio de la Pta•
ta, where fhe had been about two years. Captain F.
further Rates, that a Britilb fleet was daily expelled
at the Cape, when probably a very important change
would occur in the fituation of that place.
Information, which we believe•may be depended
on, has been received in town, that Emperor Ds :-
SALINE s has made a treaty, or at leatl is negotiating,
and likely to make a treaty, with the Englilb, for
fupplies for his ifland from Jamaica.
Attempts, we underfland, were made on Friday
evening to fet fire to the College, and to the Metho-
dill Church in Duane-Rreet. The Truftees of the
College, in confequence of the attempt to fire that
building, refolved, at a meeting on Saturday, to ap-
point a watch to guard the place. It is alto laid,
that attempts were made the fame evening to let fire
to the Mechanic Hall, and the Brick Church.
The trial of Judges Shippen, Yates, and Smith,
is progrctling a: Lancaßer.—On Tuefday lag the
Court of Impeachment being opened, and the accufed
having appeared, with their Counfel, Imola-
sou. and DALLes, Mr. BOILEAU, Chairman of the
Managers, delivered a long fpeech, embracing a num-
ber of authorities in fupport of the profecution. The
Sill part of the fpeech is detailed in• the Aurora of
Friday, and occupies four columns. Only three wit-
teas out of 23, had been examined on Wednefday.
A duel was fought on the tith ult. between Gso.
STROTHiII. Efq. and JONI, M. LUCHIT of Louilville,
(Ken.) On the exchange of the third fire Dr. L.
was mortally wounded, and expired in a few roitutes.
Captain MATCH ITT, who arrived at Boßon on the
lath January, froni Jamaica, Rates, that the Eng-
lilh had fent a third expedition againtl Mucca, and
entirely dellroyed the fettlement, with all the pepper
it contained.

Colonel Butte, as a preparatory meafure to his
trial, in confequence of his duel with General HA
MILTON' has declared his intention of vacating his
feat in the Senate pro tospae.
A bill is now going through Congrefs, to almoft
interdkl out trade with St. Domingo. Whether
France be at the bottom of it, we know not certainly,
but it appears it will almoft flarve the black Emperor
Dassault's. The merchants are Hill in arms againft
the bufinefs, and firong remonftrances are prefeuted
againft its being carried into effet!, by the different
Chambers of Commerce. Jueoma BosAraars and
his Lady Hill continue at Baltimore, after repeated
attempts to fail to Spain.
It is afferted, on the authority of the mallet of a
trading velTel arrived it Wilmington in the beginning
of January, in t 8 days from Jamaica, that ply/ions
to his failing he law a Proclamation of the Governor
of Jamaica, prohibiting the entry of all American
veffels into that ifland after May nest. This we are
inclined to confider as a mifreprefentation or miftake.
Jas. 21.—N0 news of importance is received from
St. Domingo by the arrival yefterday. Every thing
there is quiet. and indicated a well-regulated Go.
vernment. The Emperor Dessausts was at Aus.
Cayes when the Leander failed. We learn by this
flip that an American veffel was lately captured by
the French, who, after murdering the American
people, put a crew on board to carry her into port ;
The was, however, recaptured by a Britifh veal.

When the Reward (arrived at Salem) left Boor-
bon, there was an embargo at the IRe of France,
which took place on the 17th Augult, an Englifb
fquadron of two 74's, two frigates, and a corvette,'
under the command of Admiral Osaottia, having
appeared off that place ; two of which were Rationed
o Roderigue, and the others cruized to windward
in fight of Mauritius ; it was expelled the embargo
would continue a confiderable length of time. Ncu
Ira' rails were not prohibited by the fquadron from
going into Mauritius.
One of the Company's (hips, taken by the fquadron
under the command of Admiral Limo's, was dile°.
vered by the cruizers clofe in (Lore, going into Mau-
ritius, but was cut off by one of the frigates before
!be could gain the port ; feveral coaßing vefrels have
been taken, and either burnt or funk by the Englith.
Two large (hips, the Upton Cattle, owned by
Som., Focus, and Co. of Bombay, and the Queen
Charlotte, with cargoes of fugal., grain, etc. captured
by the fquadron under Admiral Limns, arrived at
Bourbon a few days before the failing of the Reward.
Was informed by the Captain of a French veffel, at
Bourbon, from Mozambique, that there was an Ame-
rican (hip of fix or goo tons at that place, which fail-
ed from the Southern States, or River Mifliflippi ;
that the Captain, officers, and moll of the crew, had
died there ; a Lieutenant, then lick on (bore, the
gunner, and eight or ten men, were all that remain.
ad : the fpecie was on (bore, and they would not per.
au:t it to be removed.
All Orange veffels which come to load direely at
the file of Bourbon mug embark their cargoes at St.
Dennis—the ;nitration of the Adminifkrators Gent-
rot being formally oppofed to their going into the dif-
forerit roads of the illand to charge their vac's.
Jam. zs.—Among feveral other veffels, Abort on
Long Nand, caftward of the Hook, is Paid to be the
Britilh frigate RIVOLUTIONAIRR, from Hampton
Roads. At any rate, as Mr. Ewitic, confignee of
tht. brig Kilmore, arrived yeflerday from London-
derry, informs, a large vac' of war mull be afliore
irrthat quarter, as the report of the guns fired in dif-
trers was fo tremendl an as could have proceeded only
from very heavy ordnance.
Jaw. BURR ICU, of the (hip Hazard,
arrived at Salem from the IRe of France, infosms,that
Admiral Limois had taken three Englilh (hips, Paid
tb be valuable, and arrived with them, a few days
previous to his failing, at Grand Fort. The Englith
fquadron that had been Rationed off the Ifle of France
for two months, difappeared the sd November, in
eonfequence of which the embargb was taken off, and
permithon given to fail.
