jki- St. PETERSBURG, May iM We experienced a few days since a violent temped, which has great number of veffcls in the hood of Cronftadt; several Prussian vcflels have been cut through byl the ice. Our commerce with France has! again revived; already four French Ihips I with full cargoes have their flags flying in Our harbour. PARIS, June 9. The mayor of Havre has pubtifhed a notice, declaring, that for the future no paflporrs will be delivered to blacks, or people of colour, in order that they may repair to the colonics; excepting however thole who wilh to return to their anticat millers. “June to. Citizen AndreolTy, is named ambafla dor from the French republic, to his Brl wnnic majclly. Citizen Otto, at prefect ading as French miniller plenipotentiary in Eng. land, has been appointed miniller pleni potentiary of the French republic near the United States of America. General Vial, is appointed miniller plenipotentiary from the French republic to the Liana of Malta. Citizen Renard, is appointed coramif libner of commercial relations for the French republic at Zante. It is at length thought proper to notice the prevalent reports which have so long been in circulation, refpeding the confpi racics and attempts the life of the firft consul, and in which the Englilh ; fiewfpapcrs have made so great astir. The miniller of police, Fouche, has writ ten a letter to the prefers of the depart ments, in which he aferibes these reports (biely to endeavors of thedifaffeded, No attempt whatever, he fays, has been made On the life of the firll consul; and all the dangers which he incurs, is from his cx flelave labours in thefervice of the republic. CADIZ', May tl. Official accounts were yellerday receiv ed of the failing on the 10th inst. of 13 Algerine velfels delllned to cruize againll the Spanifli Ihips, which nation MfJJleurs Arabs appear to be not well pleased with owing to a non-compliancc with the cuf. tomary tribute. Our accounts Hate that they have landed between Carthagena and Alicante, and plundered the Scattered houses with a view of obtaining such pro visions as the hurry of their departure pre vented them from procuring; it is thus Muffelmen have declared war and com menced hollilities. It is impolitic to conjedure the reason why all the civilized nations on the conti nent of Europe have fuhmitted to become tributary to thofc barbarians, the Tunili ins and Algerines, when the forces of any one of them, if properly conduced, is far more than fufficient to completely pu nilh these marauders, who exist by plun der and rapine. LONDON, May tt. ETRURIA and SWITZERLAND. The Ring of Etruria seems to have given some offence to France. The Mo aiteur quotes without censuring it an ar ticle from another paper, which declares, that civilization in Tuscany has gone back several centuries, that the king has given himfelf up entirely to the Priells— that the whole Hate has been surrendered to the power of the church, that the Pope, in the fa ne manner as his predeceflbrs, may now depose the new Louis at pika- fwerve from the obedience ljps vowed to the holy fee; and that Tufcanv, once the cradle of the arts, is now likely to become their tomb, if the fcreatorof the State Buonaparte, does not Oppose it ? Here is another independent State that requires the consular interfe. rence. Switzerland is a prey to fadions —to fadions and misery, all proceeding from the original violation of her freedom by F ranee ; “ and the neighbouring na tions will find it neccffary,” fays France, tl to interfere in order to prevent any in jury being done to their own security.” Switzerland injure the fafety of France and Auffria! The king of Etruria is under the guidance of Priells; and Buonaparte mull imerferc, to prevent the arts from finding their tomb, where theyoncc found the moll powerful protedion I The infurgents.of Switzerland give out, that they are favored by the French go vernment, and they have even hoisted the French colours. Their ohjed is the abo lition of taxes, tythes, Sec. and we have no doubt that France direds their move, ments, that it may become neceflary for her to take them under her protedion ; but the French miniller in Switzerland, Veminar, has found it prudent for decen cy’s fake, to d-ny, that his government countenances their proceedings. French Peace Establishment. The Peace etUbli&incnt of France is to • consist of 360,000 rrcn who, according to the Orator of the Government, are to constitute the “palladium of glory a. | broad, and of liberty at home." The J troop? about to be railed by conscription, amount to no less than 120,000, one half of.whom are immediately to he added w|be regular army, to complete the peace and the other half to torm wfmSk. tejerve, to complete the war when neceflfarv. igfkussiAN measures. According to letters from Ratilbon of the very unpleafanc rumours had there from Nuremberg, purporting, that the Imperial city would Ihortly be taken poffedion of by the Pruf lian troops. The alarm occafioncd among the burghers of that place, jealous of their ancient liberties, became so serious, that the magiltratcs found themfelvcs under the necelfity of taking measures to (scare the public tranquility, $ The King of Pruflia will, it it is find, also take pofleflion of the Bilhoprics of Bamberg and Wertzberg. Thtfe events are expefted ro take place immediately on the arrival of Baron Hardenberg, the Pruflian Minister, who is Ihortly expe<fl ed at Anfpach. The Court of Vienna has made remonstrances with regard to the execution of these ippfures, to the \ Cabinet of Berlin, but has been very lit tle attended to. May 31. The morning papers mention, that Mr. Otto has received the mod pofitivc or- . j ders from the firft consul, not to prelent at court any French ladies; except their hulbands or fathers occupy a diftinguilhed rank in the army, or in a diplomatic cha mber. Late accounts from Morocco date, that that country, is much agitated by civil war. The Nephew of the Emperor, has taken up arms againd the government, and is at the head of a confidcrable force. As yet no particular accounts have been received refpeCling the operations of the contending parties. June 2. The hereditary Prince of Orange, ar rived in town yellerday from, Paris. We understand that the objeft of his journey is to solicit rhe acquiescence of the Britilh government, to fomc propo fit ions, which have been approved of by the firft consul, relative to the indemnities to be made to the House of Orange. After the resolution which the direc tors of the bank have adopted, of mak ing payment in omnium , but (lender hopes are entertained that at the expiration of the term fixed by the bill, (which is in March next) they will resume their pay ments in calh. If the bank means to ex tend to commerce that accommodation which it requires, large emiflions of good paper will be required, to meet the Turns advanced in omnium, r June 4. It is generally expected, that the dido lution of Parliament will take place the 25th June, if not before. Seven (ail of the line, under admiral Montague, are momently expefted to re turn from Jamaica. The funds for several days past have felt a sensible depreciation. East-India llock has fallen roper cent, and omnium fell this day 34 percent. Bills of exche quer are dull sale. The rife in the price of grain has nc ceffarily raised the price o£_Jbread. June £. Both houses of parliament adjourned yesterday until the 9th inst. BOSTON, July 19. From Niagara, July if, 1802. “ I am about fetiing out trom this port to Fort Michilimacknac, in the new American packet •* Senator Tracy,” built iaft fall by the United States, at Detroit, and completed this spring, for the pur pose of transporting the troo&and public (lores on these weftero waters. Although I (hall be fix hundred miles N W. from this port, yet the communication is so frequent that there will be opportunities of hearing from you every three or four weeks. 1 * July 20. Extraß of a letter from a gentleman ia Europe, to bis friend in this town, •* John R. Livihgfton bought a veflel and sent home the French prisoners at the earned felicitation of Pichon, The bills which he carried for the amount of this cxpence were dishonored in France. When the minister, his brother, had arrived here, he did all that public duty or pri vate regard could prompt, to obtain a fer tleinent of the demand, and payment of the sum, with intcreft and damages. As a personal favor to the Chancellor, he fuc cecded in obtaining an acknowlegement of the original sum, without interest or da mages, and payments by draughts on the departments, which are--a (bit of antic** pation of the taxes, and by certain d:f counis will be turned into ca(h. When you confider the nature of the demand, the quality and situation of the demand ant, you will fee very little hope for any other creditors.” Extract of a letter from liourdeaux, dated early in 'June. “ The commerce of this coun&ry begins already to feel the mild influence of peace. More than 150 ships, fomeot them 6 ami 700 tons, have already failed from this port for India and the colonies. Political faftion and party fpirir, which have so long agitated the minds of our good citizens, have subsided, and all is now calm. The fubjeft is fairly exhaust ed and forgotten, and the people now find, that for these ten years pall they have been in a state of insanity. You will naturally imagine that our gratitude to the author of the blelHngs we now ex perience, is proportionate to the good he has done ; nor are you mistaken. He in timated an indireft wilh to be named coo ful for life, and wc named him consul for life I He wilhed ro eftablilh an order of recompencc* under the title of the legion of to be composed of officers, fol - diers, &c. who had deserved well of their country, of which he was to be chief, and to be admitted for life, and we have fanftioned the eftablilhment of the legion of honour I He may pofiibly one day with to have the power to nominate his successor, and we (hall then probably reward him with the power to nominate his successor f After this, thole of our coun trymen who have maintained that repub lics are always ungrateful, will, at lead, acknowledge that the French republic is an exception.” NEW.YORK, July 24. Arrived United States frigate Essex, Capt, Bainbridge, in 37 days from Gi braltar, On |||p 14th inst. the Essex, in the Gulph Stream, carried away her fore and main top-masts; loft two men with the spars, one named John Bradley of Balti more, the other John Wiley of Philadel phia. In yeflerday's Gazette was noticed the arrival of the frigate Essex, Capt. Bainbridge, after a fourteen months cruize on the Mediterranean station. We are informed by Capt. B. that the island of Elma had been evacuated by the Britilh troops. That Minorca was to be delivered up by Admiral Sir James Saumarez on the 17 th of June, That the Britifli still retained poffeflion of Alexandria and of Malta. That Ihe day the Essex left Gibraltar, the fleet under the command of Lord Keith failed for England, except the Superb, of 74 guns, (he having remained as a guard (hip. That the Triumph, a 74, and the Ac tive frigate of 40 guns, had just failed for Algiers, on business, it was said, re lative to the detention of an Englilh mer chantman by the Algerines, July 27. The treaty lately held with the Seneca Indians, for the extinguilhment of their claim to a small tra«sl of land at Black- Rock, on Lake Erie, for the cite of a fort, has failed of success. The principal . reason assigned by the Indians, for their refufal to make this grant, was, that the Great Spirit is angry with them for felling their lands to the white people ; and that he has threatened them with fore calamities, if they do not refrain therefrom in future. The real cause how ever, of failure of the Treaty is attributed to another source: The influence which the British poffcfs in the Indian councils, and their dislike to the United States poffeffmg a military poll at Black-Rock, which is the mod imposing and command ing situation on Lake-Erie. Judge Taylor of Albany, was the com missioner on the part of the United States; and the Hon. Mr. , Lfflomniedleu, of Suffolk, Oliver Phelps, Efq./of Ontario, and Charles D. Cooper, Esq. of Albany, the Ccmmiffioners on the part of this State at the above treaty. The number of Indians present was supposed to be a bout 2000. hienjt) troubles at St. Domingo. , Capt. Steele, from Port Republican, informs us that the blacks, raking ad vantage of the weakness of the French army, which is much reduced by disease and death, were again on the rife, and had already begun to form encampments on the plains of Leogane. This circum stance gave great uneasiness to the plan ters, who had reason to expcCl another feene of trouble and massacre. The riling of the blacks was supposed to be in consequence of the nightly llrata gems of the French troops, in taking and ) maaaeremg all the blacks who h a J 1, M I 1 commissions under Touft'aint hein» d * ■ cd a neceflary precaution by General?* I Clerc, to deprive thent of their « I manders in the event of another revolt ** I July 29.

The continuation of an unusual degree 6f health in the city, at this feafen of the year, is a pkafing source of consola tion; and every heart must ejaculate thanks to the Great Dispenser of Bless. ings. PHILADELPHIA, July 31. The expectation of a total eradication of the yellow fever , has not been realif ed. The efforts of the board of health have not been so fucccfsful as was fondly hoped and believed. We lament to have it to fay, that the ph/fkians do not re port the cases which occur in their prac tice, to the board. We understood yefier day that the fiyji communication made by a physician for feme time, was one fer r the board through the medium of tl -t - tor, to which the board direftly attend ed. It has been stated to us, however, that there are igperfons lick in that part cf the city where the contagion was firlt difTufed from the St. Domingo Packet, REGULAR GOVERNMENT. A bill was latelv brought into the le giftative assembly cf the Hritilh province , of Upper Canada, to authorife Methothfi Teachers to celebrate marriages within their foeiety— it passed their lower house by 3 majority ; but the Council rejetted the bill! This is toleration with a ven geance, The total majority of votes by whicn the republican members of Congrcfs havo been chosen from t 2 diftt idts in N.
