To France, but the privates were 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. (Here FieldmarShal Suvvarrow praises all the troops, both Austrians and Ruffians for their bravery; namingfeveral officers.) The capitulation made with gen. Ser rurier on his being taken prisoner with his troops, is also subjoined. FieldmarShal Stnvarrow had left Field marfnal Lieut. Baron Kray with a fuffici ent corps in the environs of Mantua and Pefchiera, who is now blockading the for mer place and besieging the latter. 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.

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. CHARLESTON, August 8.

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., HERALD. ■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. GEORGIA.
