NEW*YORK. September 11.
Yesterday the British packet Harle
,j n , captain Gray, arrived at this part
oa) Falmouth and Halifax, with the
iJy mail.
The Harlequin failed from Falmouth
i the 25th July, and brings London ac
ior.t» to the 23d, one day later than those
aßoftonand Newport, tliia day given
rbally.
We have not been so fortunate as to
et paper* by thi* vessel; but it would
iem, that her accounts are of no great
b, ortance. The negociation* for peace
ere going slowly on, but nothing tranf
ired. Hope, meek eyed hope , that sheet
ichor of the foul, was (fill entertained,
latthe result of the negociations will be
>ace; but the French commissioners, in
ira, sent courier* at every proportion !
A London paper, however, publishes,
leaking out, that Malmefbjry had a
eed to give up ail his conquers from
ranee, including the Toulon (hip*,
'hat the French commifiioner* demanded
1 the Spanifn conquests fnould also be
|ven up, but thi* was waved, and to bc
jme a future fubjeft of negociation—
ut the king of Prussia having seized
pon Nuremberg, an Imperial city, the
mpororaof Russia and Germany had de
ared war againtt him! ! !
Os all tough Rories circulated yefter
ay (and which will, doubtless, be sent
n post haste to Philadelphia, by fume
ufy letter writer) the following are v/or
iy noting.
That new war* bad broktn out between
,uftria and France—-that Paul l. empe-
Dr of all the Ruffias, had marched ISO,
00 troop* to the affittance of Aultria—
;at the negociation for peace had broken
IF— that the Spanish court had '(Fered
)rd St. Vincent, alias admiral Jervis,
o million* of dollars to be off, &c. Sec.
Iter which in came ahorfe to be lhaved.
PHILADELPHIA, September 14.
xtrati of a Utter from our correspondent
n New York, dated 12 o’clock yeflcrday.
«* We have just received London ad
ices to Aug. £— New obstacles arise to
race—-no hopes of it— France in commo
nn—troops are marching from the Rhine
iwards Paris-—Buonaparte ha* propnfed
larching to France --The Dutch fleet,
1 our last papers, is said to be out.”
The prevailing fever is now seen to
rogtels 'in a very ferioui manner, net.
ithftanding the city is in so great a de
ree deserted. The consequence is, that
I those of the remaining inhabitants who
m find means to leave tilt city, are pre
iring to do so.

It will be observed that Tally rand Pe

1 th c place of Charles Delacroix, who in
ilted Mr. Pinckney. Tallyrand has

** We have the yellow fever worse
Ja n Philadelphia: When I fay here, I
icaa the Point-—there on Wednesday 7
i f d; cnThurfday 8, Saturday 15 ; and
believe about 14 in different parts of
ie city, who caught it at the Point —l
now of 2 yesterday, and of 4 who took
on Thorfday by going to lee the fri
:tc launched.—knowing the danger I
cclined being a ipedlator.”
PETERSBURG, September 22.
The account* fiom Philadelphia are
ffl melancholy—the yellow fever has
!? de its appearance on board the United
[ atcs frigate, and one marine and the
ding matter have died ofit; others are
ck. The fame disease has also made its
’pearance at Fell'*-Point, Baltimore,
here the death* have been considerable.
x Norfolk, we hear, the disease has con-
abated.
ibe (hip Faftor, captain Kemp, ar
ved at New-York from Falmouth, has
rought London paper* to the 2d of Au
ift.—No ceflarion of hottilities had at
lat .time been proclaimed. The r.ego
*’ion at Lille was still going on, but
tthiog transpired of what ispaffir.g that
n depended on—-some papers ttatr
M will teraiia_:c fa.
I
Vorably, other* that they will not—she
secrecy with which the important business
i* conduced, render it difficult to ascer
tain any thing corredly refpefting the
negociation. The bombardment of Ca
diz is confirmed--two bombardments had
taken place, one on the night of the 3d
nf Joly, and the other on that of the sth
—the British threw near two thousand
bombs into the erty, which did cor.fide
rable damage, and had taken several
Spanish (hips of war, had laid Cadiz un
der contribution, and had demanded the
sum of twelve hundred thousand pounds
as a ransom for sparing the town. It is
reported that the Spanish court has offer
ed lord St. Vincent twenty millions of
dollars to spare Cadiz, Sec. That de
tachments of the army o* the Sambre and
Mcufc were marching to Paris, to over
throw the two councils, where they said
Buonaparte had already arrived to direst
the expedition—terror and difnay pre
vailed in all the departments on the fron
tiers, but that they had nearly subsided,
in confluence of the return of the troops,
thefupnreffion of the clubs, the re-orga
nization of the national guard, and the
firm and prudent conduft of the two
councils Further patticulars in our
