FOREIGN ADVICES. i| Received at New. fork, by the arrinjat | cf the, ftp Ann f Captain Coit, in 42 | day 1 from Hull—London papers to the | 2 id June, M LONDON, June 19. Jl The arrival in London of general dreofly, the new Frencli Plenipotentiary, is confidently expedled in the course of the present month. M. Otto, who is preparing for his depnrtuc, will nor, how ever. let out tor Paris for Tome days after tfee general's arrival, as he is enabled to communicate much valuable information to his fuccelTor, not only with refpeft to the general ftafe of diplomatic affairs in this country, but also with refpeCt to the characters of the British and foreign mini vers with whom it will be neccflary for him to maintain an intercourse. M. Otto is to remain in Paris a month before he takes his departure for America, i'his gentleman has never yet sum vhe drft consul, in whole esteem he holds a very diltinguifhed rank. Mmh of the rime during which he is to remain at Pa ris will, it is supposed, lie palled between them In confcrrences on the relations be tween France and the United States, and Oil the belt means of facilitating supplies fbr the W- India polTdlions ol the repub lic. 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 mingo. The French officers were received by the officers of the firft Batallion of the tzA regiment, stationed there, with every 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 fid of France," by the commanding of /cer. Immediately after which, the fj'rcnch commandant gave, “ The king of Great Britain ; when the fine band of the jzd, ttruck up the beloved air of “ God iave the king," and the whole company, as if by sudden impulfc, stood up. After • his was given, “ To the memory of those brave men, of all nations, who fell in the jate contcft," The French commandant then gave, “To the reunion of the two great nationswhich was drank with three cheers. The gteateft mirth and harmony prevailed during the evening. Dozuningjlreet, June 18. The king has been pleased to appoint the right honorable lord Whitworth, K. I', to be his majesty’s ambalTador extra ordinary and plenipotentiary to the French republic. The king has also been pleased to ap point James Talbot, Esq. to be his ma- Jefty's secretary to that cmbally. Jane 21. 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 to be filled with the votes and addresses Ota the q.icllion of electing Buonaparte firft couful for life. Eighty thousand fudrages in the affirmitive were given in the department of La Gironde alone, of which Bourdeaux is the capital. It is confidently Hated in the Paris journals that the king of will fend ijo minister to the Batavian republic till the houfc of Orange, {hall have received its indemnities in Germany, June 22. 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 rive^fVienna, followed by Gielgalt. 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 on Saturday, the result of which, we 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 one inhabitant, nor any vestige of it re mains. 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 Morca by the French army, which ha s evacuated Calabria, to serve, adds th e fime accounts, with the consent of th e • Porte, as a compensation lor the aggran. dizement of territory which Wallachia and Bulgaria will give to Austria, and Ruflia, who'with the content of the Porte also, are preparing to take poffeflion ot them. — Publicjie. 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. Augujl 13. 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 morning. She has on board 300 black Prifoncrs, taken at Guadal oupe ; and it i> said, the other frigates have also black Pri soners on board. Two other French fri gates are experted in this Port; and others will rendezvous at different American ports during the hurricane months in the Weft Indies, The (hip Profpcrity, mentioned to have been spoken (dme days ago, has arrived at Wilmington from Londonderry, with four hundred and ninety pajjevgefi. 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. Extrafi of a letter from a rtfpcflahle commercial house in N, Providence, to another in Neva-Tork , dated 27 th Ju ly, 180 Z, received by the Jloop Sur prize, capt. JohnJion. “ The governor of this island has issu ed his proclamation, declaring this port (hut for the present to American vessels; and salted provisions are not ad mi (able from America, even in British vefiels,” Barraty formerly a member of the French dirertory, lately applied for a pad port to make a tour of the interior of France, and was refuted. An expedition is prepared in the French ports of the Mediterranean, said to be intended to take poffeflion of ancient Greece, The grand duke Conftantins of Raffia, whom Catharine 11. destined for the so vereign of the revived Greek nations, is on his route to Paris, witha numerous suite. A change is about to take place in the British administration— Pitt and Dundas return to the cabinet, BALTIMORE, Augufi 9. Ext rafts of a letter from an Officer on 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. » The Tripolitans are all in port, and Tripoli is well blockaded by our earners. .

In Baltimore from the 2d to the 9th, 18 cases of malignant fever have been re, ported to the Health Office. In the fame period of time, there have been 40 deaths, Alexandria , Auguji 9, By a gentleman who arrived here this morning we learn that col. Burrows has 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 ed which lasted for about one hour and a half before they difeovered their mistake; during which the Boston had nearly all her officers killed. Auguji 16. 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. The deaths in Philadelphia were, oa the Bth and 9th inst. 18—on the 10th 15 —on the nth 9 —on the 12th 4 —on the 13th 6—And on the uthinft. ten persons were in the Hospital. The Society of the Cincinnati , of De laware, have formally dissolved their bo dy, and divided their funds. Upwards of 600 dollars still remain due to indivi duals, to call and receive which, they arc requested by advertisement in the Wil -7.T ington Mi rror. 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 of New Providence meii on board thfc , pirate when taken, \ '
