REPUBLICAN. SAVANNAH, July ij, 1806. Yesterday the City Council re-ele£ted JOHN Y. NOEL, Esq. Mayor of thi City. The United States brig Hornet, has arrived St L’Orient, in 22 days from New-York. Accounts from Martiuico, received at New bern N. C. mention the arrival of Jerome Bo naparte in that Illand, from Caye e; it was reported he intended Jhortly to fail for the U nited States. A letter from a refpedtable commercial house in Liverpool, to another in New-York, dated the 7th of May, fays, “ Our Cotton market has remained steady since the 26th ult. but the corn market has become extremely dull for wheat at 425. to 12s 6'd. per 701b5.. & fine flower 50s. per barrel.” The poftcript to the letter mentions, that the writers were that | moment allured, that the exports of corn from Dantzitk to England is allowed; and, if so, that the price of wheat miift fall. The Journal du Soir.a Paris paper, of the SOth of April, contains the following article in a letter from Rennes: “ Admiral Villeneuve, who commanded the French fleet at the battle of Trafalger, and who had been lately debarked at Morlaix from on board an English ilag of truce, killed himfelf in the night between the 22d and 23d of April. V/e are entirely ignorant of the cause of this art of desperation. Ha was found in his chamber, pierced with five wounds, made by a knife in his left fide. It is fuppol'ed, from the polition in which his body lay, that after having dab bed himfelf, he threw himfelf on his bed, lean ing upon the handle ol his knife, that he might thrust it in deeper, and thereby accelerate his death. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Detroit, to mercantile house in Albany, of which he is a Partner, dated ‘June I, 1806. “ Since my a'■rival at this place there have ftveral reports been made to Mr. S. Griftvold, our adding governor, by In dian trade: s, from different parts of the country, of the frequent feeret councils held by the Indians, under pretence of puffing laws to oblige their people to be come sober and induttrious, by applying their time to itnpr v:ng lands and living after the manner of the white people ; but knowing their prart-ice of diifimvla tion r.nd treachery, we were suspicious that tbeir meetings wire to concert mea lures to make an incurlion into this coun try—plunder the inhabitants, and retire This occasioned a sense of danger to spread amongst the p ople. But all ho’ this timely notice has beeu given, I fear w j have been deficient in providing a~ gainit the dangers to which, from the remote situation of this place, we are particularly exposed. The vast extent of the frontiers, the fcatteriag situation of the settlements, the nature of Savage warfare, together with the exact know ledge the Indiana poflefs of every part of this country, make me fear that the in habitants who are not under the imme diate protertion of the lort, will find their refiilance ineffe&ual. “ I have deferred writing you on this fubjedt before for tear of giving an un. necessary alarm, not being fufflcienlly affined of the truth of the reports. Wc are now uo longer in doubt, that the Indians are preparing to commence war against the Untied States, and we daily expeA an attack r.t th : s place. We are well informed, that th y an unusual quantity of provifior.s arm ammunition in their pcffefiion. “ Tbcfe accounts are corroborated by an c xpr.-fs from Fort Wayne £ou the Miami] lent by the commanding officer, aud the arrival of the brig Adams from Michilunaekinac, where the inhabitants were all under arms, and one half on guard every night Between 5 and 600 Indians were assembled on the Iffand, whin the Adams failed, with great’pre tenfions of fnendfhip—but the com manding officer of that post, has no doubt of their hostile intentions whene ver they find ihemftlves fufficicntly strong ; and well knowing their treadle-1 ry, be will not trust to their outward ap- \ pearances, but keeps in readiness to dr. fend the fort against any attack which j they may meditate upon it. “ Tlicfe circumllances afford cause cf thegreatell alarm, r.nd we have been in ) council for these three days, for the pur* pose of taking every p< ffihie deieufivd pi (.caution, and have at lad tefuived to i build block-h ruses in different parts ofj the territory lor the protection of the inhabitants. “ Guv. Fluff his not arrived—his presence is much w ih-d for at this time, in order to call out the mii.tta on actual ; duty. Norfolk, June 27. MIRANDA.—After so many ah furd and contradictory accounts rs this person, we are enabled to present our readers with one which may be relied on.- A brig from Birbadoes went lip the Bay yefferday, from on board of which a paifenger forwarded fome Barbados papers to 3 gentleman in this place, who Las since favored us wilh them, from one of which will be found the article refpeft icg Miranda. This expedition taken with unfuffici tnt means, and conducted in the moft un fkdful manner, and with unaccountable criay, has terminated as might hare been experted. It was reported at Rarbadoei that ad miral Loehrane intended to furnilh Mi randa ‘.vith Fm: aid, with which he pro posed to urn w hi-, vumpt on the cunti nent ; but this v. • ucuot, because wc have been informed from good authority, that if the people were prepared and difpofid for a revolution, that Miranda is not the man in whom they have con fidence. This was well underllood at 1 tinidad, with which and the Main there is much communication, though the nations are at war. ExtraS of a letter from a gir.t!;-nan arri - ved on IVednefday, and who proceded up to Baltimore, to a gentleman in this place. “ 1 Barbadoes the 10th inst. (June) Tortola the 13th, and St. Tho mas 14th. By the Barbadoes papers, tnclofed, you have all the news there.— I law a letter from admiral Cochrane, da ted off Port Royal, Martinique, the nth inst. to a gentleman at St. Thomas, | which, stated, that France had declared war againll Sweden and Denmark, and that all veffrls under thofefl ags were de tained at Guadaloupe and Martinique.” Bridge-Town, (Bar ) June 7. General Miranda —This celebrated and diftingu.fhed officer arrived here this morning on board the American ship Leander, capt. Lewis, in company with his majesty’s fluop of war Lillv, which fell in with the Leander on the 25th ult. off Grenada. General Miranda, who had failel from America in January last, on an expedition to give freedom and independence to South America, touch ed at Jacquemel, and failed again from thence 011 the 7.7 th oi March, in compa ny with the fchi'oners Bacchus and Bee, and arrived near O’Cumana, between Porto-Cavailo and Laguira, on Sunday .evening the 27th of April ; on the fol lowing morning the coast being alarmed, ttie Leander was attacked by two stout | guardar cottas, one a brig of twenty 12 pounders, and the other a schooner of fifteen 12*6, b- th full of men. Ihe Leander succeeded in besting these off but the Bacchus and Bee being in fhorc, endeavoring to land a detach ment, were captured, having feverai .confidential officers on board. Incon sequence of this difalter, and the Lean der being in want of water, gen. Mi randa put into Bu n Ay re, and failed from thence on the ift “ntfaiit, intending for Trinidad ; but having fallen in with the Lilly, and received fome information from capt. Campbell, of that fliip, h* proceeded to Grenada, and from thrnce to 11113 iffand, probably with a view cf conferring with our refpertive comman ders on the future execution of this lau dable enterprise ; in which every Bri tiih fubjedt and free government mull wish him the amplest fuccef*. The Bacchus and Bee were two unar med pilot-boat fcl.ooners. Man rud, in this City, on Thursday Eve nig last, by the Rev. Mr. Best, EDWARD HARDEN, Esq. to Miss HENRIETTA C.

Capt.
