A few days ago a Dutch line of battle
'hip anchored at Deal, with French troops
Onboard (the 7 1h demi brigade of the
line) from the Texel, bound to St. Do

mark cf attention and hospitality. On
Wedncfday they dined at the regimental
mess, when the following, among many
Other toads, were given—“ The tirft con

The Paris Journals of the 19th inst.
have arrived. The French government
displays the greatest adivity in providing
for the wants of the public with refped to
the article of grain, and confulerablc im
portations arc announced by the minister
of the interior, at the ports of Dunkirk,
Havre, Rouen, Dieppe, and Saint Valle,
ry, from Germany, Holland and this
country. Os forty four velfels arrived at
these ports laden with flour and corn, it
appears that not Icfs than 24 are Eritilh
velfels dired from England,
While the republic is thus supplied from
England with the firft neccfl'arics of life,
fcvcral French Journals do not scruple to
announce the design of improving their
toanufaftures by the afliftance of our ar
tisans. An article from Bruflels, no.
rfeing the progress made in the cloth and
kerfimere manufadures of Lembourg, ob
serves, that it is the intention of the pro
prietors to procure Englilh workmen, in
order to raise their manufactories to the
greatest degree of improvement.
The columns ot the Moniteur continue

The difturbanccs at W.irfaw, in confc
quencc of the appearance of Prince Subow,
arc said to have produced a great sensa
tion throughout Germanv. Subow as
foot! as his arrival was known, was chal
lenged by an old Polilh Gen. named Giel
g:dc, who wiftied to revenge the melan
choly fate of his country. Subow having
"been the adviser of the partition of Poland,
vhen in power in the Rufiian Court, Sa
bov declined accepting the challenge on
such a ground, upon Which Gielgnlt dial
.v*Ae<’.d bi n for perianal injuries he had
u
j fu Rained when at St. Petcrlburg. In the
I mean time his correspondence became pub
lic, and a party of young Pclanders beset
the houfc of Subow, which was only fav-
J ed by the interference of the Prussian
troops. Subow withdrew from the city,
f* but previouily engaged to fight at Vien-
on the loth June, where he is pledg
ed to fight another duel also. He has ar

the latcft advices from Egypt, we
learn tli'at the firitilh troo; s at Alexandria
had enejmped before that city, where the
plague Iras making great ravages. This
terrible IcSurgc hud likewise manifefted
itfelf at Smyrna, and great fears were
prevailing lell it IhouJd even reach Con-
Itantinople.
As the King of Sardinia, arrived at
Rome on the 22d of lad month for the
purpofc of residing in that city until the
final settlement of the indemnities which
he is to receive, it is not improbable that
the recent accounts from Peterlburg, an
nouncing the determination of the firff
Consul, to grant certain indemnities to
this unfortunate Prince contain some au
thentic information. They date with
confidence, that “ Buonaparte has been
so far prevailed upon by the powers in
terceding in favor of his Sardinian Maje
dy, that he has resolved in his lad plan
of indemnities, lately sent from Paris to
the Northern Courts, that the King of
Sardinia lhall recover the upper part of
Piedmont, and a sum of money to be paid
by indalments, by the French Govern
ment, tocompcnfate for its losses.”
Accounts from Condantinoplc, of the
tBch ult. date that apprehensions are en
tertained by the Porte ; with refpeft to a
project said to be formed between the
Courts of Vienna, Petcrlburg, and Berlin,
to appropriate to themselves some of the
TurkiOi provinces in Europe. Confe
rences on this fubjeft had actually taken
place between the Reis Eftcndi, the Ruf
fian Minider and British Charge d’Af
fairs, and two couriers were dispatched
on the 17th ult. one to Petersburg the
other to Paris. When these advices left
Condantinoplc, a corps of near 20,000
men had been collected in the environs of
the capitol, dedined to aft againd the re
bels and banditti, who spread terror and
dcfolation over mod parts ol the European
provinces.
The Corporation of Merchants in Glaf.
gow, have come to a resolution, “ That
a fubfeription (hall be immediately opened,
for the purpose of ercCting, without de
lay, a Statue, of the Right Honorable
William Pitt, in the City of Glasgow.”
A corps of Batavian troops has, it is
said affemhled on the Dutch frontiers on
the fide of Germany, for the purpose of
taking poffdfion of the indemnities which
are to be awarded to the Batavian Repub
lic as a compensation for Msedrichr,
Venloo, and the ci-devant Dutch Flan
ders which were ceded to the French Re
public, by the treaty of Hague in 1795.
Within the space of two months, for
ty seven suicides have been committed at
Vienna, and it is said to be in contem
plation to order that the dead bodies of
thofc who lhall kill themselves, lhall be
hung on a gallows by the public execu
tioner, in order to deter others from the
commission of this desperate aft.
The French expedition from Leghorn
excites some curiosity, especially as it
w-as dispatched in some haste, that fcvc
ral Danilh vessels, which were in the
harbor, were put in requifuion for the
purpose, much against the will of the
commander of a small Danilh squadron,
then at anchor in the roads.
Monsieur Coyneber: Montbert, depu
ted by the French consul to negociate a
commercial treaty with this country, had
his firft interview with lord Hawkelbury

understand, proved highly fatisfaftory.
The earthquake which was lately felt
in several parts of Italy, swallowed up
one whole village, that of Menguin,
twelve leagues from Lodi; so that not

The Dutch have renewed the law pro
hibiting the importation of foreign tea,
and have refeinded all the prohibitions on
Englifti goods.
The Batavian republic have permitted
the importation of Englilh goods into
their ports, on their paying the fame du
ties as before the war.
RALISBON, June I.
Letters from Italy, received this mo
ment, announce an extraordinary piece of
news, which w’elhould, however, confid
er as hazarded. If wc are to believe it,
it is no less than the occupation of the

evacuated Calabria, to serve, adds th e

BOSTON, Augvjl 5.
We deem it our duty to be extremely
cautious, of giving publicity to reports,
that touch on serious fubjerts. Os the ac
counts from P or tfmouth, relative to the
introduction of the yellow fever, by a
vessel recently arrived there from Cape-
Francois, we have nothing further in
corroboration of them than the follow
ing
Newbury port, Augufi 3.
We are sorry to state from information,
we believe corrert, that there is a partial
existence of the yellow fever in Ports
mouth, N. H. we were informed last:
night that several had died, and a num
ber fick.—lt was imported.
NEW.YORK, Augufi 7.
By letters from Tangicrs, of the 20th ,
of June, we learn that the profpert of war !
between the United States and Morocco,
was daily increasing. The emperor, it
appears, had demanded a pafTport for his
veftels bound to Tripoli, with fuppKcs,
and in case of a refufal, threatened a de
claratiqn of waragainft the United States.
Commodore Morris, it is presumable, will
never agree to grant such passports, It
is not improbable, therefore, that our
contest in the Mediterranen may he of a
more serious nature than was at firlt con
templated.

Yesterday morning two other French
frigates anchored within the Hook. The
frigate La Confolante, which arrived at
the quarantine ground on Tuefday last,
we are informed, comes up to town this

Prifoncrs, taken at Guadal oupe ; and it
i> said, the other frigates have also black Pri

PHILADELPHIA, Augujl 12.
An elegant bust of William Penn,
proprietor of Pennsylvania, has been pre
fer! ted by James Traquair, of Philadel
phia, to the Contributors to the Pennsyl
vania Hospital.
It is wrought from a white marble
quarry of our own State, in a master like
manner; and is supposed to be the firft that
has ever been finifhed in this country.
By a resolve of the Managers, it is fix
ed for the present in the Library Room,
from which it will probably be removed
to the contributor’s apartment, when the
funds of the institution will enable them
to finifh the building.

board the United States frigate Chefa
feakey commodore Morrisy dated Gi
braltar, June 19.
** We have got in our mainmast, and
are nearly ready for sea. Since the Essex
failed, we have received information from
Morocco , that the emperor's intentions are
hostile ; and we learn that he has at Salee
two 44 gun (hips, nearly ready for tea—
it is supposed for the purpose of cruising
against the Americans. This informati
on was kept from us through policy, to
prevent our fending for a reinforcement
by the Essex. We (hall get under way
to-morrow morning, to go over to Tan
giers to learn the truth of these reports,
and, I expert, (hall return here and wait
the arrival of the Adams.

Alexandria , Auguji 9,
By a gentleman who arrived here this

received a letter from an officer on board
the Chesapeake frigate, mentioning that
. the Boston, Capt. McNeil had fallen in
with a Neapolitan frigate, and taking
her for a Tripoline, an engagement ensu

half before they difeovered their mistake;
during which the Boston had nearly all
her officers killed.

We are authorifed to state, that the in
telligence said to he received by col. Bur.
rows, from an officer on board the Chesa
peake, is not ftridly correct, and was in
ferred in the Alexandria paper without his
authority.
We further understand that the whole
arose from a rumour at Gibraltar, that the
Boston had an aftion with a Tunisian, who
was in chafe of a Neapolitan. The ru
mour only stated that many officers were
killed and wounded, but no length of
time was mentioned during which the en
gagement lasted.

Capt. Bailey of the sloop Lively, ar
rived from New. Providence at New-Lon
don, informs, that on the 14th of July,
there was brought into New-Providence,
a pilot boar schooner, mounting a number
of fwivils, manned with 36 men, com
missioned by gen. Bowles, who commands
the Indians to the southward. The fol
lowing information the governor of New-,
1 Providence received from a Dutch boy,
who had been taken oat ot a Spanish ves
sel and kept on board the privateer for
some time, afterwards made his escape and
got down to New-Providence. That the
privateer had taken three Spanish veflels,
plundered them, gave the people the boat
and burnt the vessel. That while he was
on board the privateer, they hailed a veu
fel under American colors, and brought
her too, sent their boat on board, and af
ter some time returned with a large funi
of money in the boat; they burnt the
vefl'el, and the lad supposed they made the
crew walk overboard, as theie was none
ot them brought on board the privateer.
The lad further fays, that gen. Bowks
had commiflioned three other veflels, with
orders to burn, fink and destroy all Spa
nish veflels they could meet with. After
receiving the above information from the
boy, the governor of Ncw-Providenoc
armed a brig and sent oat a sloop of war
in search ot ihc pirate; in a few days
they brought her in, and have lodged
them all in irons on board a sloop of war-.
The captain’s commiflipn was signed by
general Bowles. There were a number
