BERK, July r.
The position of the armies is ftiii the
fame. Gen. Maflcna having lately re
ceived frefli troops from Bern, indeavour
ing to reinforce his wings, to prevent
being taken in flank. He lately reinforc
ed the troops in the upper part of this can
ton, and the lake of Thon, as well as thole
on the other fide near Loerrach, on the
Rhine. His whole line extends now from
Brieg, in the Valais, over the mountains
of Werterhorn and Bruning, Staus, Lu
cerne, Zug, Bremgarteri, Meilengen, and
Baden, to the mouth of the Aar. He
does every thing to maintain the Valais,
into which the Austrians threaten to pe
netrate, both from mount Simplon and
St. Gothard.
Gen. Rubin, who had the command
here ior iome time, is gone to the environs
of Morat, where he is to organize a corps.

On the 27th ult. an engagement is said

lam grieved in Hating that the outrages
of last night were pall all defeription. I
will not attempt an enumeration—even fe
males who by accident had a stripe of green
in a fancy ribband or petticoat, were gross
ly infu[ted ; one woman, for this offence,
was knocked down in College Green, and
trampled to death !!! If such are always
to be the expressions of party triumph,four
fifths of the people will .exclaim —‘‘Give
us an union, if you only releive us from
fadlion.”

BALTIMORE, September 19.
Interesting.
By the arrival ofthefehooner Moncreiff,
captain E. Pearce, in 22 days from Surri
nam, we are politely favored by captain
Pearce with the following intelligence.
On the 12th of August an Englifti fleet,
under the command of lord Seymour, vice
admiral of the blue, confiding of five line
of battle ftiips, of 98 guns (the admirals’)
and one of 74, with fix frigates, and as ma
ny transports, (the land forces under the
command of lieutenant general Trigge,)
made their appearance off the mouth of
Surrinam river, and sent a flag of truce to
the governor, demanding possession ofSur
rinam and its dependencies in 24 hours,
on the following terms, as near as captain
Pearce recolle&s:
The colony and all its dependencies,
forts, on the river, &c. to be delivered to
the Englifti.
The Dutch andSpaniflifoldiersto march
out from the forts with the honors of war.
That no alteration would be made in
the government, and that all Dutch pro
perty fliould remain in the situation it was
then in.
That no American property should be
molested afloat or affiore, and the Ameri
cans fliould be priviledged to trade there,
but only allowed to take in return produce
to the amount of one third of their car<m,
except molasses.
The governor demanded 48 hours to
confider on it; (andflaid an embargo on
all vessels in port, at which time several
were ready for sea) the term of 48 hours
vvasallowed, and at the expirationof which
time the governor sent a flag of truce down
to the admiral, which concluded the capi
tulation.
On the 21 ft, the admiral landed at Para
maribo, and took possession ofthe fort there,
being the last one. On the slid, captain
Pearce went on board the frigate Amphe
trite, in which the admiral came up, in
order to get permission to proceed to sea.
The admiral informed him he should not
be detained but a day or so, as he was in
formed some French vessels that were in
port, had, within a few days, hoisted Ame
rican colors, he would fend an officer on
board all the vessels in port firft, to exa
mine their papers, and those that were
clear fliould be allowed immediately to
proceed to sea. The admiral behaved with
the greatest poiitenefs, as well as all the
officer?. On the 24th, capt. Pearce called
on the admiral, gave him his passport; and
on the fame dav gave ftveral other Ame
ricans their passports, who were detained
as well as captain Pearce, from the time
the English firit made their appearance off
the river.
Capt. Pearce also informs, that the U
nited States sloop of war Portsmouth, com
modore MNeil, and the brigantine Scam
me!, capt. were then in port.
The Portsmouth had been Rationed off the
river Surrinam for several weeks, in order
to keep in port a French {hip of 20 guns,
called the Hu (Tar, capt. Pelatier—about
the time the English appeared off the ri
ver, capt. Pelatier of the Huflar, gave the
fliip up to commodore M‘Neil, who put
on board his firft lieutenant, and upwards
of 100 men, and took the Frenchmen out
as prisoners, and put them on board the
Portsmouth and Schammel. When the
English came in port, commodore M‘Neil,
(drefled in his uniform) went in his boat
to go alongside the Hollar, in order to
give his lieutenant some orders, when a
captain of one of the frigates ordered him
twice at his peril not to go alongside of
the French fliip, of which commodore
M‘Neil took no notice. The third time
the captain of the Britifli frigate ordered
one of his men to fire a mulket at commo
dore M‘Neil, which M k Neil took no
further notice of, further than turning his
head round, told the Britifli captain to fire
again, which he did twice, but neither
ball did any injury. Commodore M‘Neil
proceeded to the fliip Huflar, gave his
lieutenant some orders, and immediataly
went on fliore at New Fort, to fee the ad"-
miral. When M*Neil was on fliore, the
fame Britifli captain was coming to the
HulTar, when the lieutenant ordered him
at his peril three times not to come any
nearer than he was. The Britifli captain
took no notice of the order. The lieute
nant ordered one of his men to fire on the
Britifli captain, which he did. The boat
immediately put back.
By what capt. Pearce could learn, the
admiral was much displeased at his cap
tain’s proceedings. Some agreement was
entered into by lord Seymour, the admi
ral, and commodore M‘Neil, on account
of which commodore M'Neil gave the
fliip Hufiar up, with all the prisoners.
