“BOSTON, April 2% iVe tfcT? yesterday favoured with a Dutch of the ! °th of March. It was obtained by the Dromo (iiom Calcutta) frera a vessel spok en at sea, bound from Antwerp to Philadel phia.

I A Russian division, 10,000 strong, having l advanced against Hraunsberg, at the summit of: our winter cantonments; general Dupont was j ordered to attack it; which he did on the 26th ; February, and obliged it to recross the Passarge ; with the less of 16 pieces of cannon, two stands of colors, and 2000 prisoners.

NEW-i ORK, April 24, Captain O'Conner, of the shin Augusta, who j arrived this forenoon in 52 days from Bor- i fleaux, informs that four l'rench frigates were lying in Verdun roads, ready for sea. but were prevented from sailing by three British men who lay off watching for them. A passenger in 1 1 ic Augusta, says he saw, the day before he sailed, a private letter from the continent, sta ting that the French had entered Konigsbeig, r.iul that the king of Prussia had retreated to s!c’.nel. PHILADELPHIA, April 37. From Antwerp. —Ycsterdry afternoon arriv ed in this port, in the excellent passage of 30 days from Antwerp, the line ship Ocean, capt. Girdon. Captain Girdon left the city of Antwerp on the 20th of March, previous to which, repeated | rumours had been received from the scene of! war. These reports, though indeed to repre-1 sent France still victorious, were evidently de fective in detail; and the current oppinion at Antwerp was, that the Russians, not only had kept their ground, but had obtained considera ble advantages ever the enemy. This idea, it will be observed, coincides with the verba! accounts received at Nevv-York from Bor deaux. On the 13th February, the French took pos session of the small town of Naugartcn. In this affair they lost about three men killed and j 22 wounded. The Russians lost their cannon I 100 men killed and 133 taken prisoners. The expedition which sailed from Holland j the latter part of February, and was compelled J to return by bad weather, was under the j charge of general Daendcis, and supposed to be bound to the East-Indies. It consisted of four frigates, and seven transports, ail full cf. troops. April 29. l ast evening arrived the ship Frederick Au gustus, captain Potter, 29 days from Amster dam, who informs, that it was current at the time of his sailing, that on or about the .first of March, that the Russians had gained consid erable advantage of the French, who with the Emperor at their head, had charged the Rus sians seven times, and were as often repuls ed ; that the French had retreated 100 Dutch miles, and left the Russians in possession, cf the winter quarters lately occupied by the French. NEW-OULEANS, April 13. ICE. —Yesterday, a boat arrived at this port | from Kentucky, loaded with Ice. This is men tioned as being the first cargo of the kind ever brought to this market. CHARLESTON, May 3. Captain Hudson, less St. Catherine's, Brazil, f.3 davs ago. Before he sailed a vessel arrived there from the river l.a Plata, which brought accounts that the English had taken Monte Video, on the 3d of February, and that an ar mament had gone against Beunos Avres, which place they had bombarded for six days, and it was supposed it would surrender. It was sta ted also, that much bloodshed had taken place ti tiicse attacks. The paragraph in our last, (says a New-Jer sey paper) respecting Princeton College, was incorrect as well as imperfect. These stu- j dents were suspended by the faculty (not cx- ‘ ~ pelled, for the power of expulsion is vested in j the Trustees) for some aliedged misdemeanor, I and these three had the address to win over j all the other students (except the students of divinity and charity scholars) to espouse their cause. A memorial was accordingly present ed to the faculty, requiring the restoration of their brethren, and rufusing to pursue their studies, till this was done. The faculty per sisted, and the. students remained in a st: t of insubordination until the evening before < c rt mcncement, When they were noli lied that the exercises of the College were suspended. What the offences were by which the sus pension of the three was incurred, -.c have net, learnt; unless, indeed, it was a concern in the | demolition of anew stone out-building, which isL.charged upon the students. It is said a want oi harmony between the faculty and stu dents hat! existed some months; and that some unguarded expressions, io say no worse of them, of some of the faculty, respecting the Students, tended to heighten the discord and produce the open rupture ; a rupture which rose so highj that at one time the inhabitant, of! j rfinceten flew to antis to protect the College : from apprehended destruction, and the stu f dents rimed themselves with the bannisters of ! the stairway, and menaced all who should nio ( f-’■’ ‘hem; but which finally subsided without j bloodshed or broken hones.’ Who were most fblamcr.blc, the sac illy or the students, we know not ; but we cannot help thinking, that had persuasive and conciliatory mentis been adop ted by the former, i: .cad oi” the harsh, invec tive .rd general aspersions of which the stu de.iis complain, no serums <b turhance would > hare taken place. Certain !t is, that the sui | dents ofiereu to wuhernw their memorial and . return to their duty, ii thos- of the faculty who j had cast those aspersions, or indulged in that I invective, would make a proper acknowled ! ment ; what reply was made to this proposal, we have not learnt. PAr* Since tlie alxivc was in type, the* fol lowing was handed us: Communication. Fhe public arc requested to suspend their opinion respecting the distur bances which have lately taken place in the College oi Nevv-Jcrsey, as we arc informed that the trustees of that institution arc now adopting such measures as we hope will pre vent their recurrence. \Yo understand that a i full statement of the whole transaction will he laid before the public with all possible dis patch. Savannah, Tuesday evening, May 12, iso?. J lie Augusta Herald, of the 7th instant after complaining of Democratic editors who rejoice in the defeat oi the Russi ans on the Continent, and exuit in the victories of the French armies’ concludes thus:— “ Yet tlicfe animal parts of a printing machine, amidst all their abfurditiy ami imitative folly, a fleet to be great friincß to the people, and feme of them no > doubt ate simple enough to 1 11 in k that they really are so—though by )ar the greater parr ol them, are hap pily relieved from the fatigue and trouble of thin k ing altogether.” We readily acknowledge, that Mr. Hobby j I lias an undoubted right to know, that there arc animal parts of a print:,.-g machine who arc hap fiiltj relieved from the fatigue rs thinking—be cause he has conic to this knowledgebv experi ence, having the name of one ol these “ animal parts’ * attached to his as publishers of the | Herald. j Hobby says Mr. Jefferson's rejecting the | British treaty, was an electioneering procedure- I i:i order to lessen .Mr. Muiiroe in the people’s estimation, and thereby ensure the election of Mr. Ma dison. What is it that he cant invent ? He certainly deserves a /at: >.t right for manu facturing low and pitiful fabrications. Ilobby is, perhaps, one of the most discon tented mortals in the world—continually find ing fault with every measure of the administra tion, and abusing those who think well ol i;— What a pity it is, that the remoteness of his situation excludes him from general notice. “We published, on Saturday evening, under the Charleston head, a letter from captain Iva” liesen of Fort Johnston, to the commander of the British Sloop of War Driver, then in Char, leston harbor. Saturday night's mail brought the answer. We publish it as a master piece of British insolence, leaving our readers to make their own comments. (COPY.) 11. M. S. DRIVER. tvERECLioy Hoads, Charleston, May 2. SIR—I have received your letter; and hav ing some doubts as to the authority by which it was written, I thought proper to satisfy my self *n that head, before I should repiy. A British subject knows too well, how to respect ‘ and obey the laws of his own country, to offer, intentionally, an outrage on those of others, when once they are known to he so ; but I have to observe, the proclamation you mention to have been issued in May, 1807,1 know nothing of; of that which was issued in May, 1806, j have only to say, that so far from being cither ; creditable or becoming in the President of a j country, wishing to be ranked amongst the 1 civilized nations of the world, it Would, in the j opinion of every libera! and enlarged mind, ! have disgraced even the sanguinary pen of a { Robespierre, or the most miserable petty state in Barbary. It appearing that the supposed offence is to be rendered by a repetition of the circumstances complained of, and that oft those who, so far from having any tlung to do with the supposed aggression, were not even on or near the American coast, at the time. And ‘ as captain Whitby’s trial may, probably, at this moment be pending, with the concurrence of , the United States, and the proclamation rcst ’ ing cn his being brought to justice, it ought lo 1 hu\c been thought cf. However, as my pro , ceeding lo sea, comes within the limits of my (■ intentions, according to the orders I am under j I shall do so whenever the pilot thinks proper ; f winch orde'.s have for their view, the advantage !of the American flag, as well r.s the protection oi” the British. Bull must observe, that the | difficulty I have experienced In obtaining a sufficient quantity of water, for the purpose I wish, obliges me to have resourse to such methods as are completely within my power, which I otherwise should not have thought of. Tr. the tiffin,Tt is i**PsSay to inform >T)U that his Majesty's ship under mv command, is at all times ready to resist, and punish any insults that mayj be offered to the flag she has the honor to Lear, to the last drop of blood that shall remain, of die dutiful and loyal sub jects oi a beloved sovereign, and an exalted country.

The French commander declared it was his determi nation to capture every guineaman he’ fell in with, whether Britiflt or American—and was only prevented from carrying this threat into execution with captain Pearfe, from the circumstance of the mall of the sloop being carried away; and conceiving it not pofiible to get her fafe into port.
