Commodore Truxton, we understand, has quitted the service of the United States —and captain Samvel Barron is appainted to the command of the Conftellati<yi,'now at New-York. It is not stated for what cause this dis tinguished officer has resigned; but the circumstance will be deplored as a nation al misfortune. By capt. Willis, of the Schooner Nep tune, 10 days from St. Thomas’s, we are informed, that the day before he failed he was told by Mr. Fogharty, a refpedable /f merchant of St. Thomas’s, that accounts had just been received that several priva teers had gone from St. Martin’s against St. Bartholomew’s, which they had taken pos session of without resistance. It is aim oft vneedlefs to observe that plunder, both A nierican and British was the instigation. Mr. Foghertv assured capt. Willis the in formation might be depended on. By captain Maxwell, arrived from St. IJfmingo, we are enabled to state, that a corvette has arrived jdt that island from Prance, and a confirmation to Cen. louffaint of appointment to the chief command; in consequence of which (xen.

He called the attention of tneir lordships, particularly to, the clause for exempting Free Mason’s Lodges from ilie operation of this bill. It was afeer [ained that in other countries, these meet ings were made subservient to designs for the subversion of existing governments. In England he did not believe that Free Masonry was so employed, but it was ne ceflary for them to take care, that Societies which had mifehievous objeds, Ihould not be tolerated under that name.

The tender to his Majesty’s (hip Aber gavenny, arrived on Saturday from a cruize, and brought in with her the Danifli fliip Lion, from Altona, bound to Jacmel, with dry goods. She left Altona on the 2d of June and Cruxhaven on the 9th. In the channel spoke his Majesty’s fliip Babet, captain Mainwaring, and learnt that an adion had taken place in the Me diterranean, betweenthe Englifliand Span ish fleets, but learnt nothing of the result. Report yesterday gave to the British the vidory, and one fliip of 120, and two of 74 guns taken, and three of 74 guns, and 50 transports destroyed, as the fruits of it; but we believe it is void of foundation. Whenever an adion takes place between the fleets, which we trust has, happened ’ long ere this, the result will we hope be j much more glorious to the British arms. “ A number of the Negroes lately im ported we are desired to state, have died suddenly from causes not discovered till after death, when vast quantities of worms ifiiied from the mouth, nose, &c. “ Among the purchasers was one who had bought three in a meagre state at a low price, who, without any application to | the faculty gave them a quantity of pre j pared Cowhage, which efi'edually cleared them cf their disorders, great* clusters of worms being brought awav by each dose.” A French frigate has Santo- Domingo, from France Com miffarv on board, that had been sent to France by Touflaint, he brings out a com plete approval by the diredory of all Touflaints cor.duft. ~HERA.

FROM the best accounts we can Col led-, we are induced to believe that some cases oi r+ic jctluw fever have appeared in New-York and Philadelphia—we do not observe that it has spread, or been attend ed with all the malignant effeds attending its .former appearances—we continue in the hope that its progrdfs will be arrested, and that, its deftrudive influence may be flayed by that power which has (aid to the sea. “ Hitherto (hall thou come and no - • further.” By the last Northern Post no papers \yere received—Expectation is on tiptoe for news from the mediterranean, attention is constantly awake to notice every occur rence, that from remote relations, con- may originate a train of imaginary occurrences, which fliall in some degree gratify public curiosity and afford conver sation for the politicians of the day.

W e hear that Bath , the recent resort cf the valetudinarians of Georgia, continues to produce its salutary effeds—The deaf— the halt and the blind, are not indeed ail cured by these salubrious waters, but ma ny indisposed persons have experienced their beneficial efforts, and many persons in good health have found an occasional plunge very comfortable, or the copious falling of the funuer pleasantly eleftrifying. The inhabitants of this town we are happy to fay, and we fay it with gratitude to the author of every blessing, continue their ufinl good health—no place probably in the United States of the size and popula tion of Atigufta, has fewer invalids with in its corporate limits, or more persons who liberally patronize the handy veorhs of the butcher.

ANSWER to tADDfl^foSh United States flip Constellation , qth of Auguf , 1799. i ACKNOWLEDGE the receipt cf your grateful and affec tionate letter of yesterday. It is true, I have declined the future command of the Constellation, but it is also true, that it has been a de clension of necejfity, and not of choice •, for at a period like the present, it would be a too pain ful for me to think of, if Sentiment and character did not compel it. A misunderstanding with refpedt to rank in which l fed injured is the only cause. During the various feenes to which you have been witness, and in which you have co-operated with me, it is a heart-felt pleasure for me, to be enabled, at this time, to fay, with tf.uth —that never did greater har mony prevail among men, under fi n~.:!arcircumftancesj especially when ( it Is remembered tlieffifaiv’MbSfc vice and the ft rid and difeipline, attending naval iife-—J$ therefore trust, and { mofl sincerely hope, that the fame Harmony will continue, when I am far removed \ from you ; and that each, and all of j you, will unite to nourilh and che riih that system of order, exertion and good will to each other, and love for your country, that have so , much to your own honor and mv fatisfadfion, manifefted itfelf within the walls of this ship on every oc casion—and I now impress on you as my last command, (and when I have commanded you, I never had a doubt of implicit obedience) that whenever you meet our foes, to think of your old friend, and to do your duty as I have seen you, like BRAVE AMERICANS, do it before. May Honor, Glory, Health, Sue* cefs and every blessing attend you here and hereafter. Farewell! THOMAS TRUXTON. ToLieuts.
