Ixtraft <f a letter from a refpeClable merchant
in Hamburgh, to his friend in this City,dat
ed July 2, 1799*
« Yesterday came into Hamburgh from
England, two hundred and fifty thousand
pounds sterling in dollars, as a part of the
subsidy for the emperor of Russia ; this is
on lv a handful compared to what is ex
ret4ed. It is conje&ured this money is
for the Ruffian troops, which are to ad a
jainft Holland.
& « The Englilh are to land 20,000 troops
of their own at Embden to join the Ruffi
ans, which will make an army of 40,000
inen or upwards, and those to be aided by
the Britilh fleets: This force, together
w jth the Hanoverian troops, and the O
range party in and about Holland, is tho’t
quite Efficient for the conquest of that
country at this time when France has so
much to do in another quarter, that little
adiftance will be given the Hollanders from
them.”

FROM the late rains the water courses
in this state and South-Carolina, so far as
we have yet heard have been raised to an
uncomnapn height—we do not recoiled to
have seen the river Savannah so high, at
any time since the remarkable high frefti
which overflowed the town of Augufta—
we have not yet heard of any losses by the
riling of the river, but we very much fear
considerable injury has been done to the
crops in the law grounds' both above and

NOTHING certain has yet transpir

Mr. BENJAMIN DEARBON o.
Massachusetts, has invented a vibrating
steelyard, uniting the convenience of the
steelyard, with the accuracy of the scale
beam , it gives the nett and gross hundred
upon infpedion, and no art in the manner
of using it can cause it to err.

A letter said to be an intercepted dis
patch from Buonaparte, and giving an ac
count of his distresses in Egypt has been
publilhed in several papers—but we think
it bears strong marks of a fabrication—
whatever difficulties the French General
may meet with, (and we have no doubt he
has enough to encounter) he would detail
them with more vivacity than is to be
found in the pretended intercepted dis
patch.
WE are sorry to observe that some
American seamen have been lhamefully
treated and vilely abused, by some Britilh
officers in the Weft-Indies—we have no
doubt but this villainous conduft will en
gage the attention of the American Execu
tive, and that the rights of commerce and
the privileges of freemen will be maintain
ed by an independent government.
