Admiral! ... .
y jU r fuperionty m point or force,
..our threats, that the responsibility for
ft -deling of blood would fall upon me,
! -Id"not have prevented me from Shew-
till the last moment, what I might, in
' c j r cumftances have been enabled
p do for my honor, and for my sovereign,
which I acknowledge only in the people
0 f Batavia and their representatives. But
p e ensigns of the prince of Orange have
effected what they were intended to do !
X’le traitors whom it has been my great
misfortune to command, have refufed to
mht, and nothing is less to me and my
lirave officers, but a hopeless vexation—
the dreadful feelings of our present situa
tion. I Surrender to you the fleet which
lean no longer command, and from this
moment you are under the obligation to
look to the Security of me and the few
brave who are on board the Batavian fleet,
for I confider my Self and them as prison
ers of war.
August 30. (Signed) STORY.
Admiral Story had under his command
8 fail of the line, 3 frigates and a sloop ;
and, after the taking of the Holder, three
fail of the line and 5 frigates, and Several
Imiiamen, armed en flute, were taken ir
the Nievve-deep. The naval arsenal is al
so in the poflelfion of the English, it con
tains many Stores, with twenty-five pieces
of ordnance.
The Second division of the expedition
landed the Second day after the taking of
the Holder, and part of a third division,
consisting of cavalry, were also arrived.—
The Ruffian armament was daily expeded.
There are no French troops now in
Holland, and the people of the country are
in genera! perfectly well disposed.
The rumor of Amsterdam being taken
is unfounded.
PARIS, August 16.
The combined fleets are now in the
roads of Brest. The English, fays one of
our prints, little thought such would be
the result of our expedition to the Medi
terranean. They expected a plan widely
different, and had adopted measures in
corifequence. The combined Squadrons
will soon fail from Brest. Vice Admiral
Lacrosse is returned once more from Spain
to Paris. ,
BREMEN - , September 2.
Yesterday a courier from Holland brot’
the following intelligence: On the 29th,
the Englifn advanced as far as Alkinaer,
whore they cut to pieces the whole regi
ment of chaffElirs de Lu, and it is expell
ed every moment that the French and the
patriots will retreat farther. The regiment
of cavalry, Van Durv, is said to have gone
over to the English. General Daendals is
wounded in the foot.
Frontiers of Holland, Sept. 1.
The heavy cannonade which was heard
st Zwail, on the 29th, was in the vicinity
of the Texel, near Petten, where the En
glish attempted, and effected a landing.—
The Dutch troops Stationed in that quar
ter, have differed greatly, and of the sth
half brigade, very few are said to have es
caped. A great number of wounded were
carried to Zwail, where the orphan house
is converted into an hospital.
AMSTERDAM, August 31.
A very severe adion is said to have tak
en place yesterday in which the enemy ad
vanced as far as Alkmaer, and our troops
Said to have retreated to Haarlem
This report becomes more probable, from
the great number of fugitives arriving here
from every quarter. It is also but too true
that our troops have fuffered severely.
Hague, August 31.
From a Correspondent at Amsterdam.
On the 27th inst. at four in the morn
ing, as Soon as the English, 14,000 strong,
•ad landed on theHeider, a bloody adion
too f place. Our chafleurs were attacked,
and 2 great number, of them killed. On
’he following day, 3000 of our troops,
w ho were posted on the Holder, were for
to withdraw, to prevent being cut off.
. “-guns were partly spiked, partly thrown

the other hand, a considerable Turkifli ar

HALIFAX, (n. s.) Sept. 12.
Universal joy pervaded this country, on
hearing the interesting intelligence, that
his majesty had been graciously plealed to
appoint his roval highness the duke of
Kent, commander in chief of his forces in
British America, and that his royal high
ness intended again to honor this town
with his residence. With the most ex
treme impatience has his royal highness’s
arrival been expeded. We "have now the
pleasure to announce the arrival of his
royal highness, to take upon him that com
mand.
Friday morning, about 6 o’clock, the
Signal was hoisted for a frigate in the offing
—by eight the telegraphe conveyed the
very pleasing intelligence that the' frigate
was from England, and that his royal
highness was on board. The different
forts difeharged royal salutes as the frigate
paSTed them; which were followed by all
his majesty’s Ships in succession.
The frigate was no looner moored than
his royal highness was waited on by his
excellency fir John Wentworth, lieutenant
general Ogilvie, admiral Vandeput, the
captains of the royal navy, the principal
officers of the garrison, &c. According
to previous arrangement, half past twelve,
a royal salute fired, from the frigate Are
thufa, capt. Wolley, announced that his
Royal-Highness had left the Ship—this
was repeated by all his Majesty’s Ships as
the Duke’s barge paSTed them, followed
ed by that of Admiral Vandeput, and
those of the different Naval Commanders
—At the King’s wharf, his Royal-High
ness was welcomed on Shore under a dis
charge of cannon, and, attended by his
Excellency the Governor, General Ogil
vie, Admiral Vandeput and the principal
gentlemen of the navy, army, and town,
was escorted through double ranks of the
troops of the garrison, (drawn up for that
purpose) on a carpet spread from the flip
to the Government-House—where his
Royal highness was most cordially congra
tulated on his fafe arrival.
BOSTON, October 5.
Vermont Elections.
We have felt an interest in the'recent
eledions in Vermont; and we with pleasure
announce the re-elediori of hie excellency
Isaac Tichenor to the chair of that State ;
and a majority of his co-patriots in the
council and legislature. The declining
State of jacobinifm in Vermont, is evedenc
ed by the failure of its attempt to remove
them from the councils of the State.—The
exertions of that fomenter of evil works,
Matthew Lyon, and his cubs, have been
indefatigable and violent:—But fads have
proved their Strength to be weakness. In
the words of “ Job’s comforter.” “ The
roaring of the Lion, and the voice of the fierce
Lion, and the teeth of the young Lions, are
broken. The old Lion pert/heth for lack of
prey, and thejlout Lion’s whelps are Matter

CONGRESS.
The Sixth congress of the Uuited States
is to meet in a Short time the federal ma
jority will be much Stronger than in the
fifth congress.—With this increase of
Strength, we exped an increase of energy,
decision and federalifm. The will of the
majority of the people of the United States
ought to be expressed by the majority in
congress. That will is to crufli all oppo
sition to the government of their choice ;
and to rid the country of every seditious
alien, or rebellious citizen. The firft ad
of congress will be the eledion of a spea
ker. Much depends on the choice of a
man of found federalifm—of quick dis
cernment, and unShaken firmnefs.—Such
qualities will be found in the honorable
Mr. Sedgwick, who we learn, is a candi
date.—But unless the federal members are
pundual in their attendance on the firft
day of the feflion, the minority may dic
tate to th# majority who Shall be the origan
of the house for two years.

WEDNESDAY, October 30, 1799.
WE understand that the Volunteer
Artillery and Infantry Companies of Au
gufia, are this day to turn out in celebra
tion of the Birth Day of the Illustrious
President of the United States.
WE this day prefcnt our readers with
much important Foreign Intelligence, on
which we offer no other comment than
this, that its authenticity, so far as it ref
pefts Holland, appears unquestionable.
THE Federal and Anti-Federal par
ties in Pennsylvania, have made sanguine
calculations on the success of their efforts,
in favouring the election of the Governor
of that state.—The Philadelphia gazette
gives a majority of 6200 votes to Mr.
Ross, and the Aurora a majority of 8000
to Judge M‘Kean—the account of returns
we think the most accurate we have seen
gives to Mr. Ross a majority of 1939 votes.
WHILE instances of mortality are
daily multiplied, and ihe uncertainty of
life evinced by the indiscriminate destruc
tion of the human race, it affords some
consolation that genius is constantly. exer
cised to oppose the progress of disease, and
that health is promoted and longevity se
cured, by such a variety of Patent Me*
dicines, the sure and certain Artillery with
which to combat the gaftly Monarch, that
one would almost be induced to iniagin
the departure of any individual was the re
sult of voluntary consent, of negligence
or indiscretion.—We have not yet observ
ed any offer of restoratives for persons in
whom the vital principle was totally ex
tin#; though to limbs decayed and useless,
muscular strength and motion have been
given by the powerful influence of the
Metallic Points, or Perkinian Traftors:—
In an advertisement in a Northen paper,
numerous unquestionable remedies for the
various disorders to which “ poor human
natnre” is fubje#, are offered for sale on
moderate terms; among which we observe
Church’s Cough Drops, Vermifuge Lozen
ges, Chemical Essence, Extra# of Mus
tard, Anodyne Eflence, Natures grand
Restorative, Eye Salve, Antispasmodic
Elixir, Cordial restorative Balsam, Antif
corbutic Tin#ure, Vegetable Emulsion,
Volatile Timfture, Indian Vegetable Spe
cific, Infallible Corn Plaifter, Vegetable
Lotion, and Scotch Ointment.—From the
properties attached to this variety, the ef
fects of which are eftabliflied by unquejliona
ble certificates, one might readily conclude,
that a pofleflor of the assortment, would be
enabled to secure himfelf from ordinary
danger and prefcrve unimpaired his per
sonal advantages—to remove inconveni
encies and complaints, from fun burns and
freckles, tooth ach and corns, to that dig
nified disorder, whose existence is eviden
ced by, frequent scratchings.
NOT only is life preserved and dis
ease prevented, but the ingenuity of man is
daily increasing the means of enjoyment by
new and ufeful inventions, among which
Hopkins “ Celebrated Razor Strop,”
claims a conspicuous pre-eminence :
u The foie proprietor of which, announ
ces with fatisfa#ion the rapid sale he has
now eflablijhed throughout the continent,
giving at once that delight to mankind not
before known, and which is at the present
day the fubje# of so much enquiry.”—
Whether, the rapid sale, or the article
itfelf gives the delight we are not alto
gether certain, but a purchase, and
pojjejfion of the strop, will no doubt render
further “ Enquiry” after happiness need
less.
MANY other important discoveries
and improvements merit the approbation
and patronage of a generous public, which
will in due timet/e noticed.
