WEEKLY ANALYSIS OF INTELLIGENCE. The prografs made in the arrangement of the new administration, enables us to judge wish tolerable accuracy, of the talents of which it will bt composed. The tumour of the pa(V week has also thrown a confideiablc degree of light on the canfes of the expulsion of the late iiiiniftry. We lament that it has fallen to our lot to record thefc causes, for We had hopes that whatever venal and dilho notatoie practices had disgraced foreign prin ccs—we had hopes that the royal blocd of Britain had efcapcd the pollution, and that Integrity and honor were not unknown a morgtt our princes. We have been deceiv ed—we have now rcafon to join in the gen eral malcdidion, «* curled is he that putteth bis trust in princes.” The blood of every Englilhman luuft boR within him, when he reflefts on this nefa rious line of conduft. If the embezzlement of his master’s property, by a fervanr, be puni(hed with a marked severity, how much greater ignominy oaght he to be loaded with who, while in a public situation, and receiv ing the most munificient remuneration for his fcrvicct, squanders the money emrulled to his honor, in private gratification and il. licit pieafiues. Such is the fad, te if means are not adopted tb check the progicfs of in. veftigation, and prevent open detection and public punilhment, it becomes the imperious duty of every public journalist to hold up the delinquent, however exalted, to public in dignation ; to designate the crimes which are atte nped to be iniquitously ihiclded from in. quiring jofticc ; and to deprecate that sor did meatjnefs, not to fay vice, which would hayc held up an individual of meaner birth to public and private execration and con. tempt.

(the fame Elbridgc Gerry who signed the de claration of independence in 1776) took the chair at the meeting of the citizens assembled at the New State.Hoofe, on Friday last, he addrrffed them in a drain of elopuence and patiiotifm, which did honor to his head and heart, and concluded with the following fenience : “ I had hoped, it my period of life, to have been able to have retired from politics; but at a ertfis so momenreus and inrerefting to our beloved country, 1 bold it to be 'he duty of every citizen, though he may have but one Jay to live, to devote that day to the public good.’' PHILADELPHIA, July Ij. The Helvetius, left Canton the 711 March* ten day s previous to her departure from thence an affray between feme Chinese and feme of thecrew of the English East India Company's Oiii-s, had taken place, during which the lat ter unluckily killed a Chinese ; for whom the Mandarine demanded a man, which being re fund, the loading of the company's ihipwas flopped ; the chief of the English factory had the mandarines made acquainted, that unless they were permitted, to proceed with the load, ing of their ships, he would, on account of the approach of the fouth weft monsoon, dis. patch them as they were, and render the Chi. nefe rcfponftble for the loss that would occur thereon, , Captain Rolls, of his majefty’sfhiy Lyon, of 64. guns, demanded at the fame time, that an officer and fix men, who had been taken by thcLadrones about one month fmee, w hen attempting to land at Macoa to procure pro visions, Should be restored ; that if they were not, he would proceed to obtain redress. The Chinese mandarines gave three days notice to the English faftory, that, should they ohftinately persist in nor giving them a man, their supply of prervifnrs fliould be flopped; the English had prepared themfelvcs in case of any further difturbanccs, as the ship Lyon of 64. guns, a brig, and a difeo very ship then at Macto were held in readi ness to proceed at a moment’s notice up the river ; the Chinese had sealed the guns in their forts ; and forae very feverc corfequen ces were apprehended by the gentlemen of the Bast India Company; BALTIMORE, July 15. We have been informed by a gentleman of credibility, that the enquiry into the conduft of Capt. Barron, has been superseded for the present, on account of the indisposition of Commodore Preble. Capt.

The tender of your services for the erec tion or reparation rs Fort Norfolk and works on Craney-Ifland, and for manning the gun boats and other vessels for the wa. ters of Elizabeth and James rivers, arc re ceived with great fatisfaCiion. They are the more important in proportion, as we have much to do in the Jeaft time pofliblc. Knowing their peculiar value for manning and managing the Ghn-boats and other vessels, it is in that direCHon 1 am inhopes they will have been applied, and that the ncceffary aid for erecting or repairing works on the land will have found in the zeal of other citizens, less qualified to be ufeful in the employments on the water.

A REPUBLICAN. NORFOLK, July 16. By letters from St. Jago de Cuba, of a late date, we learn that a number of houses belonging to the French inhabitants of that had been recently set on fire and dc ftroyeri ; and that in spite of the utmost vi gilance of the Governor and inhabitants to pm a ’fop to thefc outrages, and to difeover the perpetrators, four houses were burnt on the 3rd June* One of these letters, dated the 23d fays, “ For two days past I have been guarding my property night and day. We arc in a dreadful situation. Three times tr-day have the different quartets of the city occupied by the French been set on fire. We know not what will become of us, if these ravages continue ; the Governor of St. Ja. go uses cxery exertion ho put a flop io them." July rB* SOME RETALIATION , Last evening an express arrived at Head- Quarters to the Commander, General Ma thews, from Capt. Sheppard, of the troop of Cavalry stationed near the Cape,—The intelligence the express brought is of great importance—it announces the firft &B of re taliation for the outrages of the British fquad ton. The fubftanee cf the intelligence, as far as we are informed, and our information may be relied on, is, that a boat with five men, viz, two midshipmen, and three Tailors, was seen to land on Thuifday evening, on the cast fide of the inlet; the people came on fliore, and were fired at by a detachment of Militia under the command of a Lieutenant from Kempf* illc. They retreated and took refuge in the woods—information being giv en toCapt. Sheppard of the place to which they had retired, it was immediately fur. rounded.—ln the morning they wetc dis covered, and surrendered thcmfelvcs prison ers without resistance.—The boat and the arms on board of her have been taken pofef fion of; and the men are now prisoners at Mr. Lemuel Comtek's, waiting the orders of the General. JITLV 20. C~ Saturday morning, another boat was on shore, with fifteen men, but put off at the moment that capt. Taylor's Cavalry appeared in fight. Another boat has been, w« understand, . on fliore, beating a flag of truce ; but as the officer who came, had no written com : mumcation to prove the character he ap i peared in, he was ordered on board, with out enquiring into the objeft of his mifliin, which we believe was to afeertaiu the fate of the persons who are detained.

Yesterday, at u o’clock, the Leopard returned to Lynhaven Bay, (we were mis taken in flaring that (he remained) and an chored, About 4 o’clock all the British (hips went out from our waters, and from a boat which came up last night, we learn, that they were seen fleering to the eastward under a press of fail.

Lee, ore of Mathews's aids, & Mr. Archer of Nor. folk* visited the Britiih fquadren in Lyn haven Bay, for the purpose of delivering the dispatches from Mr, Erlkine, which Mr. A. had just bro't from Wellington, Thcfe dispatches (imply ad'vi/cdQommodore Doug las to retire fr«m the territorial jurifdiftion of the Uditcd States.—Mr. Erlkine had no other authority; for the Brilifh fqnadfons cn the American station are not at all re. fponfible to the Britiih miniftcr in the Uni ted States, except in certain conditional ca ses ; but are generally undev the controd of the admiral who is Rationed at Halifax, where Mr. Eilkine could only ad'vifc, ad. niiral Berkeley could command. Mr. Lee 1 was received by Commodore Dooglafs in a most cavalier and indecorous style. The Commodore expressed his contemptuous af tonifoment at Mr. L's visit ; He slked him, w hether he was ignorant that the President’s proclamation forbade ail intercourse between American citizens and the Britiih (hips j and how he could think of fl>ing in the face of thcfe laws, by paying him the honor of a vi sit..
