WILMINGTON, (n. c.) March 15.
i'iie U. S. brig Enterprise, command
ed bv Lieutenant Kenshaw, arrived in
tliis port, iin tiit* Bth inti, in co. with the
U. S. nrig Rattlesnake, Cap:. Creigh
ton. During the ciuise, they made 5
c inures, one of which the Englilh brig
Rambler, from Cape Francois bound to
St. Thom is. tall cargo of coffee, was burnt;
the 2d the Spanish Ship Isabella, (since ar
rived in this port) re-captured from the
frigate Belvklera; and 3d tile Swedilh Ihip
Society from L.oikloii for Amelia liland,
cargo dry goods, claimed bv the iupercar
go then on board, a Mi. Little of New-
York, (since arrived at St. Mary’s;) 4th,
the Britiih privateer Mars, of 14 guns
from Nassau, n. p. bound on a cruise (ar
rived at this port) and the Britiih fchr. E
liza, from Nassau, n. p. for Pensacola,
since not heard from. During the cruise,
the laid two U. S. brigs were separated on
the 9th ult. by a Britiih frigate, that con
tinued a chase of the Entei prize for 6 hours,
which during the darkn fs of the
night.- On the nth ult. the fame brig
was again chased off the North fide of Ja
maica, as has been since learned by the
Bedford 74. The two brigs then, joined
Cos. agnin off Cape Antonia on the morn-.’
ingot’the 14th ulc. They again fepaia
ted in 1 at. 12, 17, M. on theedge of foubh
ings, by a Britifn frigate that continued a
chase oftlie Enterprise for 70 horns. T lie
frigate firff directed her attention to the
Rattlesnake, whose superior failing loon
cuufed her to change her object to the En
terprise. In this chase, the Enterpiize
threw overboaid 15 of her guns, her (lar
board bow anchor, and (failed her water.
On the third morning of the chase at day
break, the Enterpiize was brought nearly
under the gum of the frigate, and oblerved
her prepar it ion for holding out her boats,
a light breeze fortunately springing up
from the S. W. which bi ought the Enter
prize to windward, Ihe being light, was en
abled to make her etcape and arrived in
this port two days after the Rattlesnake.
The crews of both brigs have been very
healthy during the cruise, and are only
waiting for orders to make another da(h.
We have been obligingly favoied with
the log book of the Britiih privateer Mars,
captured by the U. S. brig Enterpiize, the
Rattlesnake in co. On a perusal we are
aftonidled at the uninterrupted (uccefs at
tending the cruises of the New-Providence
privateers—it appeals their favorite cruis
ing ground is off the Hoie in the Wall,
(well known by captains employed in the
Havana and leeward liland trade.) We
insert an account of the various captures
made, and think it mod fortunate for the
extenlive neutral trade now carrying on,
that this mitchievous marauder has been
taken. It is remarkable that from the 2d
Dec. lad until her capture on the 22dult.
not a (ingle man of war had fallen in with
her. The numerous Britiih privateers (poke
prove this place to be the mod dangerous
011 the route to the Wed-Indies, and from
the circumdance of no man-of-war crufing
there, we presume it would be one of the
bed situations for a squadron of our own
remaining. This privateer after putting
crews on board her prizes, and which ren
dered necessary her return into oort, re
peatedly relumed her cruising ground the
(erond day, from the time (lie Lft it. Os

Foreign News. —Notwithdandmg the
late arrival from France at this port, has
put us in pofl'elfion of Paris papers 30 days
later than before received, yet such is the
(hackled date of the press in that country,
that little or nothing of the true situation
f affairs, cui be from their con.
tents. We therefore have to relv on pri
vate letteis co gentlemen in tins country
from their correspondents on the continent
of Europe, 1 or a correct account of events
which transpire in that quarter oftlie world.
It appears from letters wnich we have
seen, dated Switzerland, the 25th of Dec.
—that the Ruffian and Audiian army was
expected at Lauianne, the same evening,
and that they were to enter Geneva on the
30th, oil their march towards Lyons. A
nother column was marching towards Pans
and had already reached Befort.
I o the politeness of the gentlemen who
communicated the above intelligence, we
are also indebted for tne following inter*
tiling proclamation.
( 1 r,.nflat- and for the New York Ev. Post )
Proclamation of Field Martial the\Prince
of Scbwartzenberg, dated at L.oracb ,
(near Buftile) December 21, 1814.
INtiABI CAN f'S OF SWITZERLAND.
l'he high Allied poveis, by whole or
ders the armies under mv command enter
the Swiss tern tor., have deemed it neccs
fary to make to you, as well as to Europe,
a formal declaration of the motives and of
the object of this proceeding.
This declaration will nianifeff to you
with what views they have taken that res
olution, the propriety of the motives of
their conduit, and the purity of their in
tentions.
I am fully persuaded that our entrance
into Switzerland will diftufe a tincere joy
among thole wiio know how to appreciate
the true enttvefts of this country, and a
mong all the friends of the ancient inde
pendence of Switzerland, of her ancient
glory and prosperity, and of her ancient
federal conffitution, which was efleemed
and refpedted by the whole world. I con
ceive myfelf fully authorised to expeCt
from this clai's, doubtleis very numerous,
of true patriots, that they will receive us
as friends, and that they will affilf us with
all their means, because they themielves
muff be convinced how greatly the object
of this war, which is the re-eltablillnnent
of a just and wife political fytlem in Eu
rope, inull influence the future fate of Swit
zerland, and her mod important national
interelfs.
I have no fear that any relinftance will
be expreffod, except by those who are so
degenerate or blinded as to prefer the
maintenance of French domination to the
welfare of their fellow citizens: nor do I
anticipate difeontent or indifference but
from those, who with fentinients in other
rel'pe&s loyal, confider the entrance of'a
foreign army into tlieir country as the
greatert of all evils.
It is to be hoped that the farmer will
find few partilans at a moment when tru
ly patriotic fentinients are prevalent, when
no foreign power will any longer controul
public opinion, and that the latter will con
fider that momentary facrifices an- soon
forgotten, when the prei'ervation of the
greatest intereds of a people and the pros
pects of a happy issue are the price of them :
ami that none but weak and felfilh nieii
will he disposed to purchai’e tlie continu
ance of an uncertain tranquility bv the
progreflive degradation and permanent de
baletnent of tlieir country.
Every thing that call lie effeified bv
•drift order and difeipline, by the payment
for provisions and tor the means of trans
port that are to be (upplied, and by exer
tions of everv kind to lessen the inconv. ni
enc.es inseparable from the presence of a
numerous army, lliail be done with the
greatest care.
We come among you as friends to your
country, to your glory, to vour rights, and
we will add as Inch under till circumstances.
A (Tilled of your good will and of your co
operation, we hope to be enabled to quit
you accompanied by your affection and
gratitude, when the great objedt at whic li
we aim (bail be accompli(hed, and when
the tranquility of the world, as well as
your liberty and your happiness lliJl be ie
cured.

Council taking into consideration the
eonfulion and want of management at the
fire on the night of the 21st. infl. in con
lequence of many of the citizens repairing
to the place of alarm unprovided with
buckets, or without aiding in getting the
Engines, Ladders or Hooks to the Fire.
It is resolved that the citizens, other than
military, living in the neighborhood of any
of the Engines, Ladders or Fire Flooks,
in cale of future alarms of Fire, are
hereby particularly and earnestly re
quclled to repair to the Engine houses,
with as many buckets as can be con.
veniently carried, and aid in facilitat
ing in getting the said Engines, Hooks,
Ladders, and other necessary apparatus to
the place of fire ; and that in all cases,
where there are no men in the refpedtive
houses, the females are requeued to throw
the buckets into the (freets, that paffeugers
may convey them to the fire.

FIRE! ! !
On Monday night last a Fire broke out
on the South Common, near the Grave
Yard, generally fuppol'ed to have happened
from accident; the citizens repaired to the
spot w ith alacrity, and many of them ex
erted themielves to fupprels the Fire, and
prelerve the property oftlie peil'ons whom
it threatened—it mull be oblerved howe
ver, that tiiere was a want of Fire Honks
and Axes and from lome cause not v< t
known, the Engines were not wtil supplied
with water.
It is worthy of remark that the U. S.
Troops, under the command of Col. Man
ning, were nfltonlv promptly on the spot,
but under the direction of that officer,
were extremely active in extinguilhing the
Fire, and protecting the property removed
from its rage. Great praise is also due to
Capt. Walpole , of the U. S. Navy, and
the Officers and Seamen belonging to it in
town, as well as to the Captains, Officers ,
and Seamen, be longing to the private ves
sels. who were extremely active on the
c ccafion, and exposed themielves. to the
limit eminent danger.
We also in ration with pleasure that the
Clergy, not only attended, but were more
aHive than almoff any other of our citizens,
affording an excellent example to them,
for which they merit praile, and ought, and
doubtleis will receive the thanks of the
community.
The Editor of this Paper cannot forbear
to express his acknowledgements of gra
titude to those gentlemen, who particu
larly attended to aid and assist in preserv
ing his property from that devouring ele
ment.
The morning prevous to the Fire a
(bower of rain fell, after which it com
menced blowing a Gale from the s. w.
which continued through the day—luckily
it was considerably abated before the Fire
comm mended, and during its continuance
veered a little to the N. of w.—Owing to
this c.ircumffance and to the fall of rain in
the morning, it is probable that the Ealtern
part of this city owes its faftty, as (parks
and even flakes of fire alighted on numbers
of houl’es covered with shingles.
We congratulate our fellow-citizens that
the loi’s has been comparatively final I to
what was once anticipated, a few houies
only being conl'umed, and these not of much
value.

JOHN CARR.
Mount Enon, February 28, 1814.
Since the above was written,
Israel Whipple, A. B. has entered in
to paitnerfhip with Mr. Cark, and will
teach in the Mount Enon Academy, the
Learned Languages, Greek ana Latin,
Prosody, and the various branches of
Mathematics, and F.nglifti Literature,
usually taught in the American Colleges.
Students will be prepared to enter any
clals in any College of the United States ;
or for protelfional ffudies. He has had
much experience in teaching the Learned
Languages, Mathematics, & higher bran
ches of Englilh Literature. At much
trouble and expence he has made bimfelf
mnfferof La nc asters new invented svlfem
of Education, both in theory and practice;
which will be inffituted in the Englilh de*
partmenu
ISRAEL WHIPPLE.
Having had the happiuelsof introducing
Mr. Carr to the Trulfees of the Mount
Enon Academy, I with plenfure comply
with the request of that gentleman to give
him a more public testimonial. My ac.
quaintance with him at Barnwell C. H. in
1809 and 1810, both in his domestic ar
rangements and scholastic attainments, was
fufficiently intimate to enable me to bear
the moll decided teftireony to his qualifi
cations, for teaching the various branches
profefled in his advertisement ; particular
ly in the higher claffrsof Arithmetic, with
pure and mixed Mathematics. In the lat
ter, he luperadds to great proficiency, much
practical knowledge, being, amongff other
things, an experienced Navigator, in which
branch he will be a treasure to any youth
ambitious of naval distinction. His table
was liberally and genteelly served ; and
no lady can be more attentive to the health
and comfort of her Boarders, than Mrs,
Carr. Miss Carr, doubtless capable of
filling the department alligned to her, will
also be found an elegant and agreeable
companion to young Ladies ; die having
moved in some of the bell circles in South-
Carolina. WILLIAM GILBERT.
