Wned prisoners of war.
° This exploit being performed, General
VukalTovich advanced to Como, and the
Ruffians to the right from Milan.
In the city of Milan there have been
found considerable magazines of cloathing,
'r ns and provisions, of which an invento
ry is making. A general with 500 pri
vates was also made prisoners there.
Our advantage in general within that
period of'time consists in 4 generals taken
prisoners and upwards of 5000 men: with
Co pieces of cannon including 46 pieces of
heavy ordinance, some stands of colours,
and 6000 men killed.

all the troops, both Austrians and Ruffians
for their bravery; namingfeveral officers.)
The capitulation made with gen. Ser

troops, is also subjoined.

PHILADELPHIA, July 27.
Extrafl of a letter from the American Consul
at Gibraltar , dated June 6, 1799-
“ The Spanish fleet has put into Cartha
pena. Several of the Ships were diftmaft
td, and others much damaged by a gale of
wind. Lord Sr. Vincent was off Mahon
(in the island of Minorca) with 20 fail of
the line: the five from England had not
then joined. It seems the French fleet has
got to Toulon.
“ The brig Prudent, of Baltimore, Lew
is Brantz, commander, from Leghorn for
St. Barthoiemews, loaded with wine, oil,
soap, See. was upset by a sudden squall off
the isle of Alboran, the 3 1 ft of March last.
The master, mate and four men, in the
yawl, got on the coast of Barbary, where
the British king’s brig Speedy took them
on board, and they were treated with the
greatest humanity. Some days after, She
fell in with the American brig Pacific
Trader, and put them on board said brig,
which came in here on her way to Boston,
that I might ftirniSh provisions for the un
fortunate men.
“ The Ship Liberty, of New-York,
James M. Pollard, commander, from New-
York, bound to Cadiz, with a cargo of
provisions, Sec. was brought in by a Bri

According to this statement, there must
have been in the Mediterranean, at one
time, 127 fail of line of battle Ships, besides
a great number of frigates, and, by their
entering the Streights within a few days of
each other, it is most probable that by this
time they have come to an engagement —
one effeift of which wili be, that the vidtors,
whoever they are, will be left in complete
possession of those fens, and will have an
opportunity of powerfully aiding the ar

NEWBERN, July 20.
Capt. Richard Weft, of the brig North
Carolina, who arrived hereon the 13th
inst. from Liverpool, has favored us with
the following information.
May 15, 1799, on m >' P a ffi a 2 e fr° m Li
verpool, in thebrigNorth Carolina, in lat.
47. 40. N. and long. 20. 30. W. of Lon
don, fell in with the Ship Diable Aquarte,
Capt. Sageal, a French privateer of 14
guns and 100 men; at 1 a. m. he hailed
me, and desired I would come on board
his Ship immediately, which I did; he
then sent two of his officers on board in
my boat to get the letters which I had on
board, and to fee if the cargo consisted of
what I had told him; on their return exa
mined my papers and opened the most of
the letters, and finding the cargo to consist
of fait and crates of queen’s ware he then
said Site was a good prize; in the firft
place, for not having a roled’equipage; se
condly, that the queen’s ware was English
manufactured goods; but, as the cargo was
of so iittle value, that I might proceed on.
His crew seemed diffatisfied with the ac
count I had given of the cargo, and the
examination the two officers had made,and
aSked leave of their Captain to go on board
themselves; he told them they Should, if
they would hoist out their own boat,
which they did; the Captain then ordered
four officers to go on board with them to
prevent their plundering. Accordingly
they went, and did prevent their taking a
ny thing, except some small articles they
concealed under their clothes. On board
of said privateer I saw Capt. Moses Bar
nard and his crew, of the brig Lydia of
Boston, two of which the Captain of the
privateer sent on board of my vessel to
bring to America. Capt. Barnard infor
med me that his brig belonged to David
Sears and Triftram Barnard of Boston, and
. that he was captured by said privateer the
29th of April, from Boston, bound to Ba
tavia, with 28,000 dollars specie on board,
and that he and his crew were well treated
by the Captain of the privateer, who
would not Suffer his people to be guilty of
the smallest irregularity towards them.

Messrs. Randolph Ss? Bunce,
You will please publish the following
extract, from the Philadelphia Aurora , of
July the 12th, and oblige a fubferiber.
Extra Aof a letter from Cork , dated the 1 8th
May, 1799.
“ You may recollect the two Miss
D—y’s, daughters of the refpe&able Mr.
D. Stationer; a young fellow a relation of
their’s, was Some time ago sentenced to be
pillored, for what is called here sedition,
faying the British minister Pitt was the
greatest villain on earth, and that Corn
wallis was taken in the North American
States. While the young man was in the
pillory, he was groSlly insulted by the En
glish soldiers that Stood guard; the Miss
D—’s with other young ladies went to the
place to console and cheer the young man,
and they in the fuilnefs of their hearts,
ventured to remonstrate with the officers
at the unjust and illegal cruelty added to
the punishment of the young man—in re
turn they were groSlly insulted, and in the
spirit of honest indignation they expressed
their execration of the government that
heaped such wrongs on the country ; they
were taken from the place instantly to a
guard house, where they were detained by
a court-martial —and sentenced to receive
seven hundred lajhes each! Let not horror
overcome you ; they have aflually under
gone part of the punishment from a regi
mental drummer, naked and exposed to
the brutal circle of two BritiSh regiments,
derided by those savages; in the face of
this deploring and terrified city, those two
beautiful and well educated young ladies
have fuftered this horrid punishment! and
exposure Still more horrid! They were not
able to bear the whole punishment at once,
and through the intercession of a lady,
those Neroes have condescended that it
Shall be inflicted at the rate of 25 laShes a
day—three days have already passed.
Where can and where ought this to end ?”
The above letter has been handed to the
editor, and it is corroborated by a lady now
in this city, who fled from the feene of
such cruelties, and arrived in Philadelphia
about ten days ago. Any person doubting
its authenticity may know the names of
the persons, and learn further particulars
from the lady who has verefied the account.,

■A U G u i l A,
WEDNESDAY* August 14, 1799.
THE recent successes of the armies un- J
der field Marlhal Suwarrow in Italy, and
under Duke Charles in the Grifon coun
try, bid fair to reduce the unweildy and
bloody Republic to reason, or to lay a
foundation for preventing their disturbing
in future the happiness of the human race.
The French soldiery being to be convin
ced, that instead of fighting for the liberty
of their country, they are barely uphold
ing a despotism increased in severity in pro
portion to the number of tyrants who ex
ercise the Regal office. The situation of
Buonaparte appears no ways enviable, nor
his future profpefts flattering, the commu
nication between his armies in Syria, Alex
andria and Cairo being cut off, induce the
preemption, that they are destined to in
evitable deftruftion. The affaffmation of
the French Ambassadors near Raftadt, is a
fubjeft of considerable speculation, we
wait with impatience an accurate account
of the events which led to this Angular
tranfaftion, and of the circumstances
by which it was attended.—The hor
rid aft by whomsoever perpetrated must
be condemned by every rational mind
-—but on whom our censure ought to
fall remains yet uncertain. When we con
fider the increasing langour of the French
troops —the little furprine exited in the Di
rectory by thetranfaftiou—audthe promp
titude with which they charge it to their
enemies, it is more than possible the event
was not only contemplated but direfted by
them. The Directory would not heffitate
to direst the murder of their own Ambaf.
fadors to inspire their troops with frefh ar
dour, and exite in them new causes of re
venge against their enemies. The wound
received by Admiral Nelson at the mouth
of the Nile, is the forty-fecond certificate
signed in this way of the bravery of this
gallant son of Neptune, since his enter
ing the Naval service.
DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.
A publication purporting to be an ac
count of the present situation of France,
has lately issued from the pen of Doftor
Logan of the non defeript order of Diplo
matic agents —The extrafts from the work
and the fafts attempted to be effablifiied,
prove its credit, to be equal to the merit
which attaches to the author for his late
ill concerted voyage across the atlantic.—
The report of the aftion between the A
merican and British frigates appears to have
been totally without foundation, some evil
genius originated the report, and credulity
gave it fanftion, it flew on the wings of
report till almost all the men on board the
British ship were typographically destroy
ed—were an attempt to impress men from
the American Blips of war to be made, we
hope the consequences stated in the «»-
founded account would follow, but we think
such an aft of imprudence will hardly oc
cur. A wonderworking Emperic in the
town of Boston, stiling himfelf late Pre
sident of the Medical society of Salaman
ca, advertises to cure all diseases to which
the human body is fubjeft—he has met
with some encouragement, but we do not
observe any instances yet adduced as proofs
of his extraordinary (kill—in cases where
he fails to remove the complaints of the
patients he seldom fails to ease them of
their money—The credulity of the multi
tude usually rewards, the impudence of
impostures.
The Metallic Points of Doftor Perkins,
are spoken of in some English papers as
worthy of observation, and the principles
on which they produce their effefts as me
riting inveftigation —
Hereafter men may know and feel
The power of Tradtor* bras» and ft eel.
The two last Mails brought no late Nor
thern papers, the news of the day therefore
remains in expeftancy.
