been fitted out for the protection of that city, and
to be competent to its defence ; but, from some unex-
plained cause, this flotilla has gotten out of its lati-
tude, and having left the Potapsro, has run into the
Patuxent, and carried the war from Baltimore into
one of the most federal counties of the state. The
Maryland Papers think this movement to be one of
the pitiful artifices of the Administration, to make
the Federalists feel the pressure of the war they ab-

GEORGE'S RIVER, JUNE 23.
I em sorry to inform you I had a vessel with lime
taken last evening', by six barges in this river. They
also took three others, and burnt one. They came
within fifty rods of my store (whieb had 178 hhds. of
rum, and the cargo of the brig Conway, and all the
prize ships) together with the shipping lying at the
wharf. The barges took possession of the Fort,
destroyed all the powder, and spiked the guns. We
expect them up to.night to attempt the destruction
of the store, &c. We are all ordered out ; and I
shall take my gun in about twenty minutes, and he
out all night. MI the coasters have gone up the river,
and the neighbouring towns are in arms.

estimated at 50 dollars per hogshead. In this manner
is the war carried on, our troops leave our seaboard

is precisely in the same state; the town is left to pro-

from his proposition of the 30th Jay, for requesting
the King to order the project of a law for permitting
the exportation of various productions of the soil of
France. He particularly referred to the sentiments
of that great Minister, Colbert, on the subject ; and
concluded by moving the necessary Address to his
Majesty—observing at the same time, that the pro-
jected law may be suspended, er modified by the Go-
vernment, in the interval between one Session and
another.
The speech of M. Poyfevre was ordered to be
printed.
M. DE LA GALLISONIERE submitted another pro-
position on the subject to the Chamber, on a similar
principle, but differing with respect to some details;
and in consequence the farther consideration of
the subject, generally, was adjourned to a future
day.

LAMM, JULY 27.—The Emperor of Russia, In
passing through this city, inspected the temporary
monument, which had been placed on the spot where
Prince Poniatowski perished. Among the acclama-
tions, which rent the skies, in honour of his Imperial
Majesty, some cries were heard of Hire le Rol de
Saxe ! The Emperor received with ansenity a short
Poem, that was presented to him, espeosive of the
Hopes of Saxony, for the restoration sf-ftts ancient .
Sovereign. We are still ignorst of die ultimate
fate.

Saturday, as ',brewer's dray, with three horses,
was coming down Ludgate-hill, the foremost baring
taken fright leaped through the shop window of Mr.
Rich, pastry-stook, breaking and damaging the bot-
tles, pastry, and confectionary in the window.—
' Some Ladies in the shop at the time,had a narrow
escape.

At the Cambridge Assizes, Meals Pollard, a
boy only fifteen years of age, was found guilty of
setting fire to.a house at Sawston, in the occupation
of John Mathews, his uncle. The Prisoner, it
appeared, confessed his crime to another boy, and
when examined before a Magistrate, said, that his
uncle came to him in the field where he was work-
ing, and made a noise at him for being idle, when it
came into hi. head to set the place on fire, which he
did by placing a piece of burning turf close to the
thatch. The reason, he confessed was' that ano-
ther person was suspected, and esamiqed about it,
and he was unwilling that person should be punished.
He was sentenced to be bung, 'bet afterwards re-

BOSTON, JULY 6.—ln the last New York Papers,
there is not a single article of Ship News of any sort
or kind. A practical comment this on Mr. Madi-
sines Ploclamation.
Anti t 1,4 another practical comment, we need only
4',oy, that there has not even a boat arrived In this
tort these tour days.

The intended departure from this country of her
Royal Hiehnes the Princess of WALES, is an event j
which, under any circumstances, could not fail to
limey public attention; but the sudden manner in
which such a resolution appears to have been taken, I
and the questionable reasons assigned for taking it,
have, we confess, excited in our minds feelings of ,
regret and astonishment. Knowing well, as we do,
that all' the causes of complaint which that illustrious
Lady dwells on in her Letter to Lord Livaaroin,
apply more forcibly to former periods 'than to the
present, we cannot accept of them as any thing like
n satisfactory solution of this apparently mysterious .
affair. In that Letter her Roy al Highness, is*
irked to say, 46 that she has met with nothing bet
tuarOfieation and misery since she set her foot in the
Island, assuaged . only by. the .affectionate pro-
tectiosi.. she received from his Majesty, to the
last hour of his mental intelligence. Deprived
of I
his countenance, she had no tie left but
heir daughter, and her society she was no longer
Permitted to enjoy." Considering this surely as the
language of her advisers, we shall take the liberty
of -obsErving, that of mortification and misery her
Royal Highness has, indeed, had an abundant share ;
but there was a time,and that, too, since the lamented
indisposition of the KING, when there was some-
thing like a second attempt to put her honour and
life in jeopardy, by the evidence of domestic spies,
and suborned traducers. At this trying and af-
flicting period, the KING, insensible to her danger,
could afford her no protection ; and the people of j
England, then ignorant of the charges brought against
her Royal Highness, as well as of the sort of evidence
produced to support them, stood silent spectators, I
mute with astonishment. To all this may be added,
that her visits to her daughter were also then re-
stricted—that her stinted income was then inadequate
to the support of her rank—and to crown her mildew-
tunes, her former confidential advisers, having then
found more profitable employment than her defence,
had abandoned her cause. Under this complication
of circumstances, so peculiarly distressing to a female
mind of sensibility, and conscious of her innocence,
sorely her Royal Highnets must have felt greater
mortificalion, and more poignant misery, thin any of
which she can at this moment truly complain. The
people of England, with a frank and manly gene-
rosity, which it is no flattery to say, marks
and elevates their national character, lane since
