PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.
Extra# of a letter from At wbury-Port,
to a gentb man . tb;s city, dated the
lfl at August 1 79b*
For these three weeks pad, we
have been alarmed by the appearance
of a fever, something fimiiar to that
which was so fatal to the citizens of
Philadelphia ; tho’ in no one inita: ce
can we trace its having communicated by
infection from one person to another ;
it was confined to a neighborhood in W a
ter-ftreet ; it is the general received o
pinion that it took its rife, from a flench
proceeding from a quantity ol entrails
of ftfh, which were thrown into the
dock,-and laid there until they were ina
hate of putrefaction. Five persons di
ed from one family, and four others from
the neighbouring families ; the filth lias
been removed, and the fever has fubli
ded. The season is to all appearance
equal to any ever known in this part of
the Union.’’

Extra# of a letter from Londonderry , da

I never knew more peopje going to
America than there are this year. We
have had very troublesome times, with
Defenders and Peep O’day Boys; but,
during the circuit many have been hung,
and die country is at present quiet. A.
bout Armagh, the people do not stir out
after dark, and pat roles are kept about
their house and bleach greens. No Ro
man Catholic can keep a gun except he
has a ireehold of ten pounds per annum,
or 300 pounds in cash, which has in a
manner totally deprived him of thifpri
vilege. Every man mud regilter his
arms at the quarter fefiions, and if any
magistrate chufes after this day to search
the hou(e of any man, he may do it, and
fine every man ten pounds with whom a
gun is found. Tnis is a hard law.”

Extra# of a letter from an American,
imprelTed on board his majesty s thip
Thetis,at sea, dated July 7.
“ Before now I have never had an
opportunity of letting you know wheth
er your unhappy friend was dead or a
live, not being allowed materials foi
writing, nor even (peaking to an Ame
rican, when they chance to come on
board the frigate, if we do, we arc in
Kandy dragged to the gang way, ana
flogged until we can scarcely (land ;•*
with this treatmefttT !i£ar many of m*
unhappy brethren have died.
c ‘ Thro’ the friendly afliftance of a
humane Englilh (ailor, 1 a;n enabled u
give you a Ihort (ketch ct my fituatior
and usage since I have been in the De
of Great-Britain's service.
I faded from Baltimore in a brie
for Cape Francois, on the 14th Marcti
on the 23d A. M. we were boarded by
the Bririfn frigate Thetis, aid I wa.
the unfortunate person, pitched upon to
be dragged into.ilavery,the molt wretchg
ed slavery ! as (oon as they got me o.y
board tiie frigate, 1 was told iny due
which was to ait in capacity of cook
mate : I complained to the captain of the
frigate of this usage, and jefufed to and ;
duty upon which ne ordered me tobe
taken to the gang way and flogged un
til I could not hand. I was according!)’
tied up aad beat moil unmercifully ; t\-
.pecting to be murdered, I was obliged
to comply with the demand of these pi
rates I served in capacity of cook’s
matd for three months, then I was made
to ait as marine, in which station I hate
been made to fen e ever since.
There are a number of Americans on
board this (hip ; and the captain prom
ises us, that “ If we are good boys, we
(hall go and fee cur friends when the
war is over.” How long v/ill Ameri
cans fufier their citizens to be thus mur
dered ? How long will they permit us
to remain in this cruel and uarbarious
slavery r A slavery ten times worse than
even a slavery in Algiers : Nha.il the
American dates remain dupes to a Brit
i(h tyrant ? The proclamation of the
President declares our country to be a
neutral nation j but is it poffibte that we
can presume to carl ourfeives neutrai,
. when we permit hundreds of our leiio*-
citizens to remain in the lervicc of the
King of Great-Britain i That it may
not always be so, is the fin cere prayer
of your unfortunate friend.
