PHILADELPHIA, May 21.
A letter, dated St. Thomas’s, April
„5 has been received, Hating the bar
barity and atrocity of captain Danvers,
commander of the Amiable Briciih fri
.rate, towards American seaman at St.
pieres. Part of the crew of the (liip
Ardent, captain Smith of Baltimore,
jving at the above port, consisting of
Thomas Edwards, H.ichaid 1 aico, and
Tofeph Gibson, all having legal protec
tions were imprefled, and abuied in a
moll ’ruffian like manner, by an armed
banditti of the above frigate. —A ne
phew of captain Cook, ot Boilon, and
one of his seaman, (hared a similar iate ;
and when captains Smith and Cook re
monstrated against those lawless and out
r.yeous proceeding, initead of obtain
jnl red refs, were treated with the great
eft’ indignity, and menaced wita im
pnfonment.
Instances of this nature are too num
erous ndt to excite the animadversions
of our executive, who no doubt are uf
in7 tiic efficacious measures to know
li e meaning of this koiiile dilpofidon.

this city.
“ I am very sorry to fay that the
war appears likely to continue ail the
present year, between France and Eng
land—The Emperor seems much inclin
ed to make his peace with the Republic,
which it’ he accompliffies, I think it
probable a general one will loon be the
happy consequence.
“ I (omc time since advised you of
the appointment of Don Carles Martin
ez de Iruft), as Minkier from his Cath
olic Majelly to the United States: and
I now have the pieafure to tell you, tiiat
1 is predecclfor, our late worthy Minif
rer, Don Joseph de jaudenes, is appoint
ed to be Intendant of the armies and
kingdom of Mayorca, which is consid
ered one of the belt inteudanci.es in his
Majelly’s gift.”

NORFOLK, May 31.
Official information has just been re
ceived by James Maury, Esq. American
Consul at this port, that the present
polture of affairs between the United
States of America and the Deyand Re
gency oi Algiers, render it very hazard
ous for the velfelsof that country to ven
ture into those seas which are frequented
by Algerine cruizcrs ; and that this
dinger will continue until it (hall be duly
notified by the Government of the U
mted states of America, that peace is
fully efiabiifned between the two coun
tries.

. I received lad night official informa

French fleet, with 30,000 men, and five

This important event will open to the
merchants of American good chance for
the -ale of proviflons, and fafety (or the
navigation in those seas, which (hall be
soon free of those who, without refpedl
for your rights as a neutral nation, take

SAVANNAH, June 13.
Sunday last arrived from Colerain,
the company of light-infantry, who ac
companied the Commissioners on the
negociationof the treaty with the Indi
ans ; by whom we learn their encamp
ment is on the South fide the river St.
Mary’s. —Nothing of import had trans
pired. Various are the reports —that
500 only of the Indians were present,
and those not disposed to treat. It ap
pears however, that their attendance
was/not so general as was expected, and
a doubt remains, whether a negotiation
will take place before the ill of July, if
then. ,
The Senate have concurred in the
following nominations :
Rufus king, to be Unifier Plenipo
tentiary ot the United States, at tiic
Court of London, and
David Humphreys, to be Minister
Plenipotentiary at the court of Spain.
We are informed, that the Senate have
concurred in the nomination by the Pre
sident of the United States, of Matthew
Clarkfon, of Pennsylvania, to be com
miilioner on the part of the United
States, under the article of tiie Spanilh
‘i reaty.
Christopher Gore, Esq. Commission
er from the United States, to fettle the

Lord Dorchester, is said to be on his
return to England from Canada ; and is
to be fuacceded in the temporary com
mand by Lt. Gov. Col. Siincoe.
It appears that Mr. Vander Horst,
our Consul at Bristol, has announced
the danger our veflels may llill be ex
posed to from the Algerine cruisers ;
and. which it appears will be likely to
continue until the adual determination
of our government is known, respecting
the treaty lately negociated with them.

From the Philadelphia Gazette .
Mr. Brown,
On reading Monday’s paper, I took
notice of a curious firing ot relations,
compriled in four persons ; but when 1
came to confider it, I recotlefted the
fame, relatiorifnip happened by marriage
in (our persons in the township of New
ton, not five miles from Cooper’s lerry,
in the Jerfcy.
A. 1. married M. C’s. fifler, and
fome time after M. C. married A. I’s.
daughter, so that here were two ,hus
bands, two wives, two brothers, two
fifiers, one father, one mother, one son,
and one daughter.
But as I have in my pofleffion some
thing I think rather more intricate, if
it is worthy a place in the Gazette,
please to insert it, and obiige a constant
reader.
My husband is my uncle, my son is my
brother,
His wife is my filler, Sc I am her mother.
Six children I have had, and look lor
another ;
I am grandma to three that belong to
my brother.
I have a filler named Peggy, whole
mother I am ;
My own brother is my son, his name it
is }ohn.
This paradox, ft range as it may seem
unto you’,
The good people of Bridgetown will
2(fore it is true.
What I have now for to requefi,
Is-ihat an answer may be exprefi.
