Vol. i* ins of Sardinia, we know ton cerlam . that Ite is disposed to reftgn Savoy td Nice, and would lately have reftgn i t ’ ne!l i to effort aleparate peace, had he 10 t been threatened into a continuance ,f the war by other powers. . A third fart, which we can aflert with he utmost confidence, is, that fi ranee las prepared to make immense concef •lons to the commercial intereits of fireat-Britain, Inch as would have a mounted to nearly an excluftve monopo ly of the whole trade to the Well-Indies, and an undiiturbed polTeilion of imtnenfe requisitions in the Eail; together with {uch a renewal of the treaty of com merce as inufthave circulated our manu { \ures nearly to the exclusion of all ~,thers throughout the European domin ions of the republic. But, ‘ peri fit our commerce !’ is the maxim of Ibme min iilers. Supposing, however, that this fnte ment was faile, and that of the minister’s true, is tire obtaining of Brabant, See. for the home of Au'.tria, an object on which Britiih treafureand Britiih blood mould be lavilhly squandered! U this a time to risk id much for the aggrandife ment of that rapacious power, cfpcciaily when we confuler the important acqui sitions which it has lately made on the fide of Poland? Look, John.

The average price of wheat, at Mon day’s corn market, was lower than it has been for a twelve month pail; but the price of flour remains Hill difpropor [ tiouate, and thus the alfize of bread is kept up, by anew manoeuvre of iniquity. Capture of Sir Si da y Smith. A gentleman yesterday morning ar rived in town from France, who rest Pa ris on Saturday last, and Havre the Mondav following. While lie was at Havre, on Monday, he saw Sir Sidney Smith taken, who with 32 of his officers and men, had left the Diamond frigate.,, (it being then a dead calm and flood tide] and gone in their boats, five in number, into Havre roads, where they captured a privateer of eight guns, when they were followed from Havre by a lugger of 14 guns and 5 gun boat', who drove them up the Seine ; the lugger coming up, began the engagement, which laired for about 40 minutes, with the greateh fury ; but fome gun boats coming down, and the English having one man killed and four wounded, fired a brgadfide and hauled down his colours. Sir Sidney, his officers and men, were immediately taken to Havre, where they were put in pfifon, and from thence Sir Sidney him ielf was lent, under a guard up the coun try. Those taken were, Sir S. Smith, W. Moore, R. Kenyon, P. Burrow, and two other officers, with 27 men. In all, 33. Another account slates, that Sir Sid ney Smith was taken, while reconnoi tring the coall in a single boat, from whitL it is inferred that his life is in fome danger. This we do not believe to be the” fart. The following were the only vefiels of force which werem Havre, when Sir Sidney Smith was taken. La Carmagnole frigate, and anew frigate, 3 Hoops mounting 24 pounders, and one privateer from Dieppe. Yeiteiday an account was received at Lloyd’s coffee house, by an Ameri can veil'd arrjved from Havre, that an embargo was laid upon all vessels what ever, m the French ports. The above fliip from Havre got out with ditficulty. I here are letters in town from Spain which date, that a correfp.ondencc of a m°!l serious and important nature has taicen place between the courts of Lon don and Madrid.

Counterfeit 3odollar notes, of the U nJ‘ed States bank, are in circulation, so nicely executed in every refpert, that accurate eye can hardly detert F e i npofition—the only difference to ’ perceived is in the paper, which is arKer in the colour, being of an inferi cr quality, and not quite io large as the ttue notes.

Columbian &c. PFIILADELPHIA,. June 1. Arrived, Capr. Pearce, of the brig Harriot, 8 days from Bermuda ; about 5 days before the Harriot failed, the British sloop of war Spencer, of 18 guns, commanded by captain Evans, from a cruise, arrived there with a prize, the National Corvette Le Vuican, of 12 guns, lately commanded by citizen Ber tnand, of Guadaioupe, but last from Charleston. They Lad fought for three glasses, when one of the Vulcan’s crew, going up her shrouds with a grenade, in order to heave it on board tnc Spencer, was (hot, and the grenade dropping or. board the Le Vulcan, exploded; and this was the cauie of their llriking. Jt was generally supposed the Spencer would jhave been captured, had it not been for this accident. The Harriot was taken on her pas sage from Guadaioupe to Newburyporr, where (he formerly belonged, carried in to Bermuda fome time since, condemned, and afterwards bought in by the captain. The ihip Eliza, belonging to this port, from New-London to the Wed- Indies, with a cargo of horses, was lent in there about 5 days before Captain Pearce failed ; who further informs that no change in the conduct of the Bermu dians towards other Americans had ta ken place. Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated May 15 th, 1796. “ I failed from. Waterford in the Eli zabeth, of Alexandria, captain Wood, for New-York, the 27th of March, bui to the lead of my expectation we fed ir with a fifty gun ship, called the A lint ar.ee, juit come out of Sandy- 1 look on a cruise towards Halifax, being within thirty-four leagues of land : Flaring boarded us, they took the ihip’s compa ny and forty of our pafiengers, leaving only married men who had large fami lies.—They put twelve men and two officers on board, and brought us here fait night. The captain of our veffei not having proper papers to prove her to be an American, the was sent here to be tried by Admiral Murray—she is here at prelent ; the AHi fiance will not come here this fortnight, being on a cruise ; we are to be detained until she arrives, unless we can by any means procure means of the Admiral to go.” BALTIMORE, June 6.

Yeflcrdsy, being the feflival of St. John the Baptist, the fraternity ol An cient York Masons afiembled at their Grand Lodge Room, and from thence went in procession to the Prelbyterian church. An excellent Charity Sermon was delivered by the rev. Brother Buift, their Grand Chaplain ; after’ which a collertion was received at the church doors, amounting to 1681. for the fuffer ers by the late fire. The fraternity returned in the fame order and imme diately dispersed, having relinquished their annual grand lead in tenderness to the wants of the diltrefled. ■hiWii - rgr, SAVANNAH, July i. A gentleman dirertly from Greene County, informs that 900 families had latelyarrived therefrom Kentucky.— The cause of this sudden migration, is not particularly.learnt. It is reported that a renewal of hos tilities has initially taken place by the Indians on the frontier Settlements : If this be true, we lament the condition of those defenceless inhabitants, who from indigency, are compelled to fuffer the ravages ol a barbarous and unprincipled people. The following are the conditions of capitulation agreed on between the commanders ot the Bririfh armament, and the government of Dcmarara, on its surrender the 2zd of April, recei ved by the ffiip Sally, captain la throp, arrived on Sunday, and trans lated from the Dutch language for the New-York Daily Advertiier. WE, the governor and inhabitants convened in council of the colony ol Es- fcquebo and Demerara, make known to ad it may concern, That we have this day received from his excellency gene ral White and the feafaring commander Parr, commander of the navy of his Britannic majesty, in this river, of the force now moored in this harbor, as well as those vessels which are not arri ved, a summons to deliver the island to tnc fame power and to fubjert ourlclvcs in frieadlnip and tranquility to the go vernment of his majesty on the terms preferibed, viz.

Fur ther on the laws and cuHoms of fuel, iavvs a* might l.a\e been made previou. to the surrender of the colony to the •government of his majetly, every thing, neverthclefs, upon the molt liberal and generous terms. That if it ihould so happen, that the colony, in case of a general peace, sh ulo remain under Britilh government, the fame ifiand in that situation shall enjoy such commercial advantages which are allowed in the Britiih colonies in the Well-Indies. With refpert to the mid tary and naval forces, that the officei and privates of the land forces, if it b agreeable to them, shall be received in britiih lervice with liberty on reitera tion of the prince of Orange, to re-en mr into his lervice.

The officers will, under those condi tions, receive leave of absence for two hundred days, with their baggage and travelling money, the fame as is allow ed to British officers —the officers and privates of the marine cannot be taken into British service until his majdty’s pleasure be known ; but they lhall be entitled to receive their pay agreeably to their rank, and enjoin every facility which can be afforded them ; That the governor and every civil officer after the oath of alleg'anee to his majesty shall be taken, lhall nave the liberty if they choose, of remaining in their refpertive situations, except those who have given proofs of partiality to the republic of France. T he governor only relinquishing the milita,/ command; should thoic libe ral terms be relufed, the governor, council and any one concerned, shall be come answerable for the consequences, untefs an immediate attack takes place by way of the land and sea forces, in such a manner as to render eveiy refin ance fruitlcfs, major-general White and captain Parr, gave the governor one hour’s time and no longer, a. ter render ing this instrument to accept or refute.

It is well known, that in other Cities in America, the Captain ofa Guard, docs not receive such a high faiary ; and there is aper ion in this City, capable of the duty, who is a triend to his country, and has manifefled it in the late war, who offers to do the duty of Captain of the City- Guard, for two thirds ot what is offered. He has lately become a citizen ot thU place, and is well recommended.
