LACEY visited the land in North Ca.

saw some of the best corn in it that saw
during our whole route through Virginia

~ Yesterday arrived the ship Jane,
Capt. Theodore Bliss, in DO days from Bris-
Sol. Capt. Bliss sailed from Bristol tho 18th
Sent. and brings london papers to the 18th
being two days later than by any other ar
rival.
Having received the whole of Captain
Bhss's Newspapers, it will DC in our paw
er to present to the readers of the Phila-
delphia Gazette succession of highly in
teresting extracts.
BY these papers, which include the Cou-
ricr ct the 18th, it would seem that Mr.
FoX'S disorder had experienced considcra-
bic mitigation, notwithstanding this, how
ever, the verbal accounts brought by capt
Bliss, state positively, that this distinguish
ed parsonage closed his earthly career in
the course OF Sunday the 14th Sept This
intelligence was received in Bristol on the
day following, through various channels, G.
quaily entitled to credit
Capt. Bliss also informs, that tho dav he
sailed. it was currently reported at Bristol,
that n frigate had arrive(, with dispatches
from Sir Home Popham, announcing the
Capture OF Buenos Ayres, by the squadron
and forces under his command.
1t was also reported, that adviccs from
the Mediterranean stated. that the Fort at
Malta had been blown up BY accident
Ii VIII be perceived by our extracts in

discussions going on in Paris, no additional
intormation had been developed By the En-
giish prints.-On the continent OF Europe,
II IS manifest, that some momentou2 events
are rapidly approaching. For these events,
