ironies of it have been realized m many
Inftaoces. There are several persons,
n ow living, who had long been excrciied
with t hat malignant tumour in a very
high degree of lflfiamation, which alter
experiencing this operation, direftly be
gaK t o< diminilh, and continued to de
crease, until they entirely vamlhed in a
few days, and have not since made their
appearance. ..
These fids being known, and credit
cd, such of course, as were exercised with
that malady, have for many years applied
to the deceased from various parts ol the
country ; and their number continued
to increafc to such a degree, that towards
-the close of his life, he was frequently
thronged with patients. And it appears
bv the belt information that in general
they obtained relief.
The reality of the efFeft is evident,
from occular demonltration ; but wheth
er to account for it by supposing fome
physical quality in the hand applied, fome
invilible external influence attending its
application, or from its making a faiuta
ry impreflion on the mind of the patient,
and so rectifying the disorderly circula
tion ol the blood, and changing the course
of the animal fluids, and by that means
effecting the cure, will be left to the in
qiiiitive philosopher and physician to
determine.
The conspicuous and serviceable life
of Mr. Sharley, will entitle him to
grateful remembrance. His loss will be
ever lamented by tiioie who have found
relief from his friendly hand and pious
prayers in a time of adverfity l , and by all
who had the opportunity of his pcrlonal
acquaintance, and know how to value the
man of private worth, the friend ol hu
man happiness, the example ol virtue and
ufefulneis, and the devout and humble
chriitian.

Extra ft of a letttr from St. Pierre's,
Martinique, dated the 21 fi May.
“ The Englilb batteries were open
on Monday lait the 16th instant, at St.
Lucia; their firlt fire was very fuccefs
ful in lilencing the Vigie, and several
batteries, the latter of which have been
evac tated by the Republicans, who have
retired into Morne Fortune ; one of the
magazines in the Morne has been blown
up by the falling of a (hell.
(< On the night of the 16th, the town
of Castries was entirely dellroyed by
fire, as well as a very great part of the
Ihipping lying in the road—it is added,
that at Caltries, 7 or Soo persons, men,
women, children and old men, were put
to th Jword by the Britifh —it is pretend
ed that it is owing to the Heuians and
lome other troops entering the town and
finding two sailors and a Heulan nailed
on crolfes ; one of these unhappy
men was ltill breathing ; at this cruel
light the troops were leized with luch
fury, that it was impodibie to check
tn;ir resentment.”

B. Logan appeals to the attorney gen
eral of the date to know whether the el
ectors had a right under the conditution
to proceed to a fccond ballot. The at
torney general declines anfweting in his
official capacity ; but gives it as his opin
ion as a lawyer that they had not.
It appears that the conditution of
Kentucky provides for a second ballot,
when on the fird there is an equal num
ber of votes for the highest candidates ;
but fays nothing of a lecond trial in case
the highed candidate, on the fird ballot,
lhould not have a majority. So that
really B. Logan appears to have right
on his fide.

A Frendi gentleman has arrived

where he came in the lad fleet from

His information is, that Franee resents
our treaty with Great-Britam ; that
our treaty of alliance with France will
soon be at an end ; and that he fears
our neutrality will be interrupted by
the Directory, which may soon adopt
decisive measures to punish us for our
ingratitude.

The 25th, lat*. 40, 25, long. 74, at
one P. M. was brought to by a (hot
from the Huflar, at which time another
large frigate hove in fight; the Huflar
fleered direst for her : at five, after va
rious manoeuvres* the Huflar being a
brelt of the other, which was still bear
ing down, they laid to with their cour
ses hauled up ready for engagement,
each veflel making signals which were
not repeated by the other ; the Huflar
immediately crowded all fail and bore
away ; her opponent, which appeared
to be French and superior force, gave
chace ; cannonading was heard for lome
time after ; but were soon out of fight.
The French frigate mentioned in the
above account is molt probably the In
surgent, which failed from New-York a
few days since. Both that frigate and
the Huiiar had been spoken with at no
great distance of time or place from each
other, and from the course they were
holding likely to meet.

Yelterday, at two o’clock, the dwel
ling house of Mrs. Ravenel, fituattd at
the north-east corner of George and
Meetingtlreets, was difeoveredto be on
fire in the roof. Before afliftance could
be given, the flames had taken such hold
of the building as to prevent its being fa
yed. The early arrival of the engr.ws,
and gftivity of the citizens, flopped the
flames from communicating to any other
building. We cannot determine whether
this fire is owing to design or accident.

SAVANNAH, July 26.
La A Thursday evening, a Murder was
committed on a plantation a few miles
from this city, by one John Richinfon,
a noted villain who has long been a
dread to society ; but we have the fatif
fartion to add, he was immediately ap
prehended, and is now in close confine
ment to wait the termination of juflice,
and will probably meet the reward jult
ly due to his crime. The circumAan
ces of this inhuman aft, as far as we can
learn, are, that Richinfon came to the
house of a Mr. Grant, a neighbouring
overseer, who it appears, had previous
ly laid in a small itore of liquor for his
family’s use ; Richinfon being inform
ed of it, demanded of him a free acccfs to
his Aorcs, and on Grants refufing him,
he immediately seized a gun which was
Handing by and difeharged it at Grant,
the contents of which, entered his head
and be expired immediately. The jury
brought in their virdift wilful murder.

EXPLANATORY ARTICLE in refpeft
to the BRITISH TREATY.
Whereas by the 3d article of the trea
ty of amity, commerce and navigation,
concluded at London on the 19th day of
November, 1794, between his Britannic
majefiy and the United States of Ameri
ca, it was agreed that it lhould at all times
be free to his majesty’s fubjefts and to
the citizens of the U nited States, and also
to the Indians dwelling on either fide of
the boundary line afligned by the treaty
of peace to the United States, freely to
pass and repafs by land or inland naviga
tion, into the refpedtive territories and
countries of the two contracting parties
on the continent of America (the bay
company only accepted) and to navigate
all the lakes, rivers, and waters thereof,
and freely to carry on trade and commerce
with each other, fubjeft to tke provisions
and limitations contained in the firlt ar
ticle ; and whereas by the Bth article ol
the treaty of peace and friendlhip conclu
ded at Greenvileon the 3d day of Au
gust *795, between the United States
and the nations or tribes of Indians called
the Wyandot9, Delawares, Shawanoes,
Ottawas, Chippewas, PattawatimieSj
Miaraies, Elkias, it was fiipulated that
lhould be permitted to refidd
at any of the towns or hunting camps of
the said Indian tribes as a trader; who it
not furnilhed with a license for that
purpose, under the authority of the Uni
ted States, which lattes stipulation has
excited doubts, whether in its operation
it may not interfere with the due execu
tion of the said article of the treaty of
amity, commerce and navigation ; and
it being the sincere desire of his Britan
nic Majelty, and of the United State*
that this point lhould be so explained a*
to remove all doubts and to promote mu
tual fatisfaftion and friendlnip ; and for
this purpose his Britannic Majelty hav
ing named for his commissioner, Phineas
Bond, Esq. his majesty’s consul general
for the middle and southern Hates of Ame
rica (and his majelty's charge
and the Prefidcnt of the United State*
having named for their commissioner,
Timothy Pickering, Esq. secretary of
Hate for the United States, to whom, a
grecable to the laws of the United States,
iie has intrutted this negotiation.
They, the said commiffioncrs, have
communicated to each other their full
powers, have, in virtue of the fame, and
conformably to the spirit of the lait ar
ticle of the said treaty of amity, com
merce, and navigation entered into this
explanatory article, and now by these
present 1, explicitly agree and declare,
that no ltipulations in any treaty fuble
quentiy concluded by either of the con
tracting parties with any other ftatc or
nation, or with any Indian tribe, can be
tmderllood to derogate in any manner
from the rights and free intercourfc and
commerce lecured by the aforefaid third
article of the treaty to the fubjefts of his
majesty, and to the citizens of the United
States, and Indians dwelling on either
fide of the boundary line aforefaid, but
that all the laid persons lhall remain at
full liberty freely to pals and repafs, by
land or inland navigation, into the ref
peftive territories and countries of die
contrasting parties, on either fide of the
said boundary line, and freely to carry
on trade and commerce with each other,
according to the ltipulations of the said
third article of the treaty of amity, com
merce, and navigation. This explana
tory article when the fame lhall have
been ratified by his majelty, and by the
Prelident of the United States, by and
with the advice and confen'’ of the senate,
and the refpeftive ratifications mutually
exchanged, lhall he added to make a part
of the said treaty of amity, commerce and
navigation, and lhall be permanently
binding upon his majelty and the United
States.
In witness whereof we the said com
missioners of his majesty the king
of Great-Britain and the United
States of America, have signed
this explanatory article, and
thereto affixed our seals.
Done at Philadelphia, this fourth day of
May, in the year of our lord oncthouf
