Vol. l. 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. £ trail of ci Idler from Cadiz, dated March zGt'j, 1796, to a ge.illemail in 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.” Ex trail of a letter from Cape Francois, Fional 5. {( We have jult received officially the news of the fleet which is coming to this country ; the commissioners koume and Leblanc are arrived at Santo Domingo in a frigate detached from the squadron.

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.

Columbian JEuteum, 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 American claimes for Britifli Ipoila tions, was to fail from Boilon on W ed nefday lair, for London. 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.
