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 !2 t 0 th e sea. Thus the Holder and the xe are in the power of the enemy ; but ?'

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 ed abroad 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. PHILADELPHIA, Od. 1. The French frigate Republican, of 46 guns, is taken and carried into Surrinam by the British frigate Tamar, of 36 guns. n oTtTcIT" THE Subscriber begs permilfion to inform the public and his friends particularly, that he has rented for the en suing year, the COFFEE-HOUSE in Louisville, where he intends providing accommodation for Gentlemen during the setting of the Legislature, and through the winter fealon ; and he promises himfelf from his general acquaintance with the business, to have it in his power to give general fatisfadion. Je/Tc Newton. Odoberzj. (at. 5 ) - I 'aagS»^gßa^»aMK|ißgggßgafcg herald. A U G U S T A, 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.
