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.” ~~ HERALD.

MONDAY last: being the day of ele&ion, Robert Walton, Esq. was ele&ed Senator, and Robert Watkins and George Walker Efqrs. were chosen Representa tives to the state legislature for the county of Richmond—From any of the other counties we have not yet he^’d. 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 Übw lti\» pVat-t* IN Paris new and violent commo tions have taken place, that is if any com motions can be new in a City perpetually lhaken by political concussions—Talley rand is impeached with having organized the assassination of the French ministers near Raftadt—a great number of addresses have been presented to the council of five hundred on the fall of the Triumvirate &AL demanding speedy punifihment of ‘’-s—an address from “ one oHjB C; P ;e diftrids of Paris has tidA *" i’Uiv.ih Merlin, the hhxwdA ; Reuhel and rors. ■ . ; mo/aflL...

NOTHING certain has yet transpir ed refpeding the fleets more than what we have before noticed. 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. ON the 30th June, Belogna surrend ered to General Count Klenaw by capitu lation. ON the 16th August, Surinam sur rendered to the Britilh. 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.
