TWO DAYS LATER FROM LONDON. The fine fast sailing- ship Factor, captain Thomas Ro- yjnson, arrived at this port last evening, in 32 days from London. By this arrival, the editor of the Freeman’s Journal has received London papers to the 14th August, inclusive , from which the following hasty extracts are made. London, August lo. Some effthe Paris papers of Friday last, reached town yesterday, but the set of journals of that day, did not arrive in regular course. We extract from them some particulars of a sort of mystification attempted to be practised oh the French police. [This shall appear in the Freeman’s Journal to-morrow.] A Flanders mail also arrived, the accounts by which mention a considerable inundation at Oudenarde, in con sequence of the overflowing of the Scheldt. The diet at Frankfort, it is now said, was to open on the 5th instant, but points of etiquette would, for some time, occupy them, so that the first sitting for bu siness cannot take place until the 15th. Important dis cussions, h is said, are to be carried on in this assembly. Some German papers arrived last night, frexn which ■the following are extracts: Vienna, July 27. Madame Murat not having been yet able to find a suit able house, is going for the present to Presburgh. She must leave Hamburgh next week, because the English ambassador, lord Stewart, wishes to take possession by thatthne—the assignees of baron Feilner having let the chateau to him at a higher rent. S W1TZERLANI), July 29. The population of the manufacturing cantons contin ues to suffer by the obstacles which the neighboring countries throw in the way of their industry. Their loss es are estimated at above 7,000 millions of florins.— The price of corn has fallen this week in all the markets in the east of Switzerland. The fine prospect of the har vest which is about to begin, will make it fall still lower. On the Maine and the Rhine the people’s alarms begin insensibly to subside. Several convoys of grain, which speculators had sent for from Italy, have suddenly re ceived counter orders on the road, on Utteount of the un expected fall of the price. At a late hour last night, we received our regular sup ply of Paris journals of Friday last. The following are additional extracts. , Paris, August 9. Yesterday a Parisian, returned from Algiers, where he had been a long time a slave, promenaded the streets of the capital in the dress which he wore during his cap tivity. Ancona, July 27. By intelligence from Tripoli and Tunis, we learn that the kandard of the prophet is displayed by the Barba rians, and that they have placed their robberies under the protection of religious fanaticism. A Neapolitan ship of the line, two frigates, two brigs, and two corvettes, have been here on their way to meet the English anti American squadrons, &c. Two vessels of his holiness have sailed lor the same destination, which is said to bt •Gibraltar. London, August 14. We received vesterday, the Paris papers of Saturday laSf. The Monlteur contains an Ordonance allowing the importation, duty free, into every port of France, of corn, flour, bread and biscuit, which seems to indicate that the hopes hdd out in some of the Paris Journals of an abundant harvest, are not participated ih by the go vernment. Next month, it is said, the royal gtiards are to be en camped in order that they may acquire a facility of manoeuvring, which is at present unattainable in conse quence of their being stationed in different barracks. The French papers have for some time past almost re gularly put forth some article or other, as if dictated by a sort ofjealousy of our intended enterprize against Al- f ierg. Now they tell us the Porte will interfere by a me- iation in order to take into its own hands the chastise ment of its vassals the Barbary states. This might prove an awkward kind of interposition, but it remains to be established that there is any such intention. It is a well known trick on the part of the Parisian press to fabricate articles pretend tube written from different quarters, and the continual recurrence to die paragraphs respecting the Barbary states, of the influence of France, and the .respect paid tor Frenchmen, proves Kiut there is much of this species of coinage in circulation. It appears that of the five vessels some time since seiz ed on by the Tunisian mutineers, who sailed in them on a sort of -independent piratical expedition, three have been captured by a Turkish squadron, and a fourth by an tinglish frigate. Only a brig, therefore, remained to the pirates. A Dutch mail also arrived yesterday, the papers by which Still speak of military preparations in France, and furnish us with a story of an intended expedition to St. Domingo. We regret to observe it stated, that there are frequent quarrels between thd British troops in France «nd the inhabitants. Yesterday morning, at half past 5 o’clock, the duke of Wellington, with his staff, left town for Brussels,' where he is expected .to remain a few days. ENGLISH ABSURDITY, INVENTION, AND CREDU LITY!—{One example out of many.) London, July 24. Some additional papers have to-day been received from the United States, with private communications advert ing to a situation of affairs of considerable importance. It is said that the unambitious character of Joseph, ex-king of Sp&in and the Indies, has been powerfully worked up on, oy a numerous body of generals, who haying fled to- America for refuge are uneasy at the state of inaction to •which they have been reduced. These persons, we are told, have urged Joseph to resume his pretensions, as king of the Indies, and have offered to unite their means with those of the insurgents of Mexico, to drive the Spaniards from their ‘ colonies, and to establish a migh ty empire on the shores of the Pacific. We are further informed, that nothing has prevented the immediate engagement in this enterprize, but the refusal, on the part of the government of tl»e United States, to under take any ostensable cooperation. > ». — From the Boston Palladium.

Mr. Hill, our consol, was along-side, ami informed that they were waiting the arrival, of a fleet of transports. The Dutch squadron was also in port. A, numbet of A. mericaif vessels were in port unknowns 8 had arrived, consigned t6 the consul.—g 39,600 were landed freSb the Merchants Array at Gibraltar. German papers give a letter from New-York, which says St. Jean d’Angely has visited South-Carolina, ami purchased 10,1)00 acres of land there, and that 3000 have been bought on the Ohio for M. Rial, and emigrants from France are to be allowed some small portions of these lands. The letter adds, (what must certainly be incorrect,) that many French military men have obtain ed advantageous appointments in the United Stifles. Several French vessels, winch were abandoned by their crews in the Mediterranean, on the appearance of Barbary pirates were afterwards taken possession'of by these cruisers and immediately restored to die French authorities. The conduct of the French captains is cen sured. Ancona, July 27. A Neapolitan squadron of one ship of the line, two frigates, two corvettes, and two brigs have been seen in our waters (Gulph of Venice) proceeding to meet the English and American squadrons, to act against the Bar bary powers. The Morning Chronicle, which itself recommended an income tax of 15 per cent, now finding, as it says, “that ministers have it in contemplation to revive the income tax in the manner which it had detailed,” actually begins to abuse its own measure; and tells the people that “they cannot be too much on ther guard” against it. This is funny!—London Sun. Edmund Burke.—As he was declaming with great ani mation against Hastings, he was interrupted by little major Shoot. “Am I” said he indignantly “to be raised by the barking of this Jackal, while 1 am attacking the royal Tiger of Bengal!” The arch dutchess MariaLiuisa, accompanied by her court, left Parma on the 11th July for a pleasure excur sion to the bath of laicc.a, and a visit to the imperial court of Tuscany. The Florence Gazette winch contains this intelligence, adds, “It is said that she will be absent more than six weeks, but it is certain that she will be in Parma on the 15th August, a memorable day with her majesty”—memorable for what, think you, gentle reader?—Why for nothing less than being the birth day of her husband, Napolean Bonaparte!—The London edi tors do not half like this—they say that the ex-empress might with equal propriety celebrate the anniverssary of the distinction of her father’s subjects by Bonaparte at Lodi, Marengo, &c.—JV. F. paper. Prom the Norfolk Herald of September 23. The embarrasments of trade and the distresses of the labouring population in England, continued without any hope of amelioration. A letter from Cozeley, in Staf fordshire, states, that an actual examination from house to house, had taken place in' many districts of that coun try, in order to ascertain fully and correctly the extent of distress. In one district alone there were found— One hundred and sixty six families whose resources are all cut off comprehending eight hundred and twenty two individuals: Seventy-four families who earn Is per head per week, comprehendingfour hundred and eighty three individual?: One hundred and thirty families who earn 2s per head per week, comprehending eight hundred and twenty in dividuals: In another there were five hundred and twenty four families without the means of livelihood, comprehending t.vothousand five hundred and seventy-six individuals, full one half of the population. “To the cases already transmitted to you (adds the let ter) of the extreme distress, I would add that of a family near me, which has been out of employment for three months, consisting of a man and his wife and six children: they have parted with their furniture, and with all their clothing, except a few miserable rags that hardly cover them! and last week, as the last resource, the wife sold her wedding ring.” The most wealthy classes were actively and zealously engaged in collecting a fund for the imme diate relief of those distressed objects, hundreds of whom but for these humane exertions, would have perished by hunger. SOUTH AMERICA. [important communication.] The folio-wing Is an extract of a letter from New- Orleans, dated 28th August. “A gentleman from Mexico, high in the circle of the revolutionists, is now here, on his way to Washington, with proposals from the patriots, “to make full and im mediate compensation for all the claims of our citizens and country, on the government of Spain, provided the United States will acknowledge the republic of Mexico.” An easy mode this is of getting justice, So long withheld: but what a stigma will such an arrangement attach to old Castilian honor? The infant wipes aw ay the reproach of pillage and injustice from its parent! This gentleman mentions that an English nobleman of talents, has had a meeting with the chiefs, that is the generals, whom he has assured that Great Britain waits only for the exam ple of the United States to acknowledge the new repub lic; all the merchants and manufacturers of England at e, pressing that government incessantly to do so, thereby to open a fair and direct trade with that rich portion of the new world, as the only means of relieving their pre sent distress, and preserving and extending this lucrative commerce. Russia as well as the other northern pow ers, it is said, will also acknowledge the independence of Mexico. All tills appears to us higlily probable.— Spain will find too late that with nations as amongst in dividuals, “honesty is the best policy.” “As yet we have been as healthy as usual.” We copy the following paragraph from the ITalcyon, a paper printed at St. Stephen’s, M. T. dated August 30.— Columbia Gazettes. “Late and certain information has been received from Pensacola, that the rumor w hich had reached us of the patriots having taken that place, is entirely without foun dation. Nothing has been heard of tiie fleet since it Was watering at the Ualize below New-Orleans.” FROM PORT-AU-PRINCE. Nkw-York, September 21, The schooner General Jackson, sailed from Jaequemel on the 21st of August. Captain Gildea informs us that the day previous, twelve deserters arrived there from Christophe’s dominions, who reported that his sable ma jesty was moving with all his force towards Port-au- Prince, and that he had already leached St. Mark’s, where lie had been joined by a Spanish general with some trifling force from the Spanish part of the island. Tlie people of Jaequemel were in high spirits, and look ed upon this proceeding of Christophe’s as the forerun ner of his total overthrow, and entertained strong hopes that it would be the means of placing Pc-tion in possession of all the French part of the Island of St. Domingo. Since the above was in type we have seen captain Rogers, of the schooner Remittance, who states that no such intelligence had reached Aux-Cayes when he left there, which was about the last of August. Connecticut Flection.—The political and relignus seisms in that state have excited considerable interest abroad in the result, of the late election. A letter from Groton, of the 17th inst. states that New-London comity, which sends 22 members to the assembly, has chosen 15, and probably 16 republican members. The last Essex Register says, “last Tuesday, the Secre tary of the Navy waited on the late President Adams, at his seat in Quincy. The president, over 80 years of age, had walked that day-several miles to visithis son’s family. He was still possessed of the vigor of his patriotism, and of tfie best hopes of his country. The patriarchal man ners of this venerable sage, give the highest interest to such an interview.” FROM Tjfe rrEntTTfcflRANEA^- ' Tlid following is an'extfoelGf a letter from a midship man on board the United States’ ship Washington, dated Naples, I7th July, 1816. “We arrived at Gibraltar after a passage of twenty-two days. Our ship sails well, is Trt excellent order, and was much admired by the English, Dutch, and Spanish navy officers. ,“The Dutch have a squadron lying at Gibraltar, and several more ships are expected to join them, when they intend making an attack on Algiers in connection with the English fleet. ' “The Dutch character does not stand very high, as they pass so much of their rime iii port; but it was reported, however, that one of their frigates had taken an Algerine after a desperate battle, in which the former lost 160 killed and wounded. “Gibraltar is a complete garrison-. There are nearly eight thousand soldiers stationed there, the finest looking fellows I ever beheld. The streets are filled with people of all nations, among them I saw some Algerines, most frightful looking objects. From morn till night there is a continual buzz—it seems like a fair. “I visited the different batteries of that extraordinary fortress. About 500 feet nearly perpendicular, we enter ed gallery No 1. It is a battery cut out of the solid rock, ten feet wide, and eight high, and extends nearly three quarters of a mile in length, no light entering except through the port holes, which gives it a gloomy appear ance.' No one, Without seeing it, can form any idea of such an Herculean labor. There are several otbqj- gal leries, also some remarkable caves, no tend to one of which has yet been discovered. The top of the rock is seven teen hundred and eighty feet high, from which you can see a great distance into Spain. Here a 64 pound caron- ade and a long 24 are mounted, how they got them there I cannot conceive. “On our arrival at Naples, we found several of their men of war in the harbor, but they instantly seemed suspicious of ns. and hauled into dock as soon as they discovered who we were. They have ordered us under a quarantine of twenty one days (which does not look very friendly) merely because we stopped at Gibraltar. “From where we now lie, We Can see the place where once stood the civ of Herculaneum, also the tomb of Vir gil, which places I intend to visit. 1 was disappointed in the view of the bay of Naples. ^ I think if Boston harbor had a few ancient castles to set it ofi, it would be vastly more beautiful. Mount Versuvius is, however, a grand sight—in the day you c; n see about as much smoke ap- dauestlt as proceeds from a chimney that has been re cently ori fire—In the night you can discover a blaze ap parently about three or four feet high. “We expect to visit Messina, Palermo, Syracruse, Al giers, &c. We may shortly expect to hear of the attack of the English and Dutch on Algiers. The distance from Gi braltar is only about 500 miles; and the commander of the expedition must wish to decide its fate before the autum nal equinox. In all the attacks on Algiers for two cen turies the elements have remarkably concurred to de feat them.— Centinel. Buffaxo, September 10. The facility of intercommunication in this country is constantly encreasing. The mail stage now runs from this place to Canandaigua in one day, and from thence to Albany in two days. A short and pleasant passage, carries a person to New-York in little over a day more. Thus a journey of almost 450 miles, is performed in about four days; and the greatest part of it too through a country that was but a few years since a wilderness, inhabited only by savages and wild beasts The human mind is hardly capable of keeping pace with such aston ishing improvement. A line of stages has commenced running from this place to the Niagara Falls, three times a week. This line will afford a cheap and commodious passage to per sons desirous of visiting these stupendous works of na ture. .from ^erousletters from the officers of (JUr fftet In Naples, {fj, C-Jpaper^August 14. \ * ’ . ■ '!*$ Semple, who with nearly the whole of his party oftwenty-- six persons was cHt off.

Earthquake.—A considerable shock of an earthquake was felt by many persons in this town on Wednesday evening last, a little before/nine o’clock. The shock was so sensible, that the windows in some houses perceived to rattle—and persons ih beds fell so much motion as to be alarmed. The noise which accompanied it has been represented as similar to a heavy carriage passing the door fro .-en and hubby ground; distinct, however, from the gradual sound/Which precedes and terminates its pas sage. It was also noticed at Bloomfield and Patterson— and; in the latter place, more distinctly than in tills. A person who was iii Patterson at the time, represents it having much agitated the family in which he happened to be—and that it seemed as though the top of the house had fallen in. • ¥ On the 5th instant, that illustrious patriot governor Siielbt, whose virtues would reflect honor on any “Gre cian pr Roman name,” ceased to be the governor of Ken tucky—on that day, he dined with a number of liisfei- low-citizens, and in the evening was escorted by a troop of horse several miles on the route towards his residence in Lincoln. At the moment of his departure, an affect ing compliment was paid him—A national salute was fired by the independent company of artillery, with that memorable piece of cannftn taken at Saratoga, surren dered at Detroit’ re-captured on the Thames, and present ed by the United States to governor Shelby.

NAVAL DEPOT. , The erection of a naval depot in Chesapeake Bay is a reu st important measure, not only for the safety of the middle states, but also for the whole of the union; and such it must appear to every patriotic American—None but those who have a secret longing for the dissolution of the Union can possibly object to .t. It has already been hinted, in pretty brood terms, in certain Eastern journals, that a naval df pot in the Ches apeake is merely intended to protect Virginia—Virginia like Macbeth’s Amen, sticks in the throats of the con- ventionists—Whenever the word Virginia comes before them, they make distorted faces as if they were on the point of suffocation! Why not protect Virginia, as well as Massachusetts? Boston has already a naval depot and strong fortifications for its defence, and why not in the south as in the east?—- Both are necessary to protect our long line of coast, at present exposed to every predatory attack of an enemy. But the fact is, that the proposed naval depot at St. Mary’s is meant to protect not only Virginia, but also Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, from the de structive ravages of an enemy—This depot will be a pro tection not only to Washington and Baltimore but also to Philadelphia and all the intervening towns and vil lages. • > The woeful experience of the late war must have de monstrated to every imnartial American, whether fede ralist or republican, the absolute necessity of protecting the extensive shores of *he Chesapeake.—In the late war the Bay was a most convenient rendezvous to the English fleet and army, from whence, on every side, and in eve ry direction, they extended with impunity, their plun derings on the defenceless inhabitants, robbng them of their cattle, fowls, servants, and even their money and household furniture! Another advantage the enemy had from their station ary abode in the bay was, they had convenient opportu nities of holding a correspondence with their fiends on shore—They had an exact description of every family in Baltimore, whether they were ill or well disposed to the cause of the bulw And as Baltimore was considered a democratic town, it was devoted to destruction; and it would have been plundered and destroyed, But for the bravely of its defenders.

Thursday Evening, October 3, 1816. Sacking oirr. Pkofcron, Ihe brave knight of lancet and ’squire of the pill-box, in this morning’s-Museum, accuses us of not hav ing'com plied with the condition which the printer of that paper was to exact of the person desiring the name of the writer of “Freeholder*’ and “A Friend to a Frteuoid. er,” urtder the latter of wliich signatures, a similar re quisition was made. No demand or- condition did \] f . Woolhopter make in g>ing up the author of those pieces. In direct contradiction to the public dtcLr ation of “A Friend to a Freeholder,” he gave the medi cal hypocrite as the author of both pasquins. For tne invidious, treacherous and contemptible falsehoods v.„j, ^ he attempted to force into public belief, we have. entertained the most utter contempt, and would bewail ed to ask any satisfaction other than a public exposit !0n . but he wishes us to challenge: If he i9 so hot for fighii,,. why does he not act the part which he would have u s 0 fulfil? He has sustained the greatest injury: he has been publicly called and proved a liar and an arch-hypocrite : but we believe we cart -divine the contemptible being’s motives; for nothing is too mean for such a creature to attempt: Slvould we challenge, he intends not to pursue the road to honor but to profit; and pester us with a course of litigation. We assure him that he may have his wrath satiated in a manly way, without the interference of judge Or jury. Since we exposed his motives for bespattering the mayor with his filth, he has resolved in his mind the probable chances of success at the ensuing elecLio..; aid for once, has been guided by 'prudence, thodgti net by honor.

This journal prides itself much on the talent as well it matter of fact, which, as it supposes, is displayed in its columns. No paper is independent besides itself; no e-i- tor uncorrupted, but Billy Duane—all else are in the hire of government/ But the brave adjutant-genera I, amidst hu cloud of witnesses, has not yet adduced "m- dence of a single democratic editor having ever re ctivccL a cent, by way of bribery; yet they are all servile change lings, who would cut their parents’ throats for • lit tie money. Why have they become so—once he and they were on the most amicable footing? Because they dis dain to reiterate the “hue and cry” raised against the administration, by the fire-side general, when it refused to adopt his military tactics, proved by experience D be inefficient in practice. For this he calls them fools and rogues, and swears, that the generals who conduct.. our armies, on the north and northwestern frontiers, to victory and glory were incompetent to decide on the mei-itt of ids military system. Such a declaration naturally in duces the reader to inquire where this militaty genius ac quired his knowledge of the rudiments of war. At trliat celebrated seminary? He has announced himself to the world, as untutored. Then, under what European gene ral has he gained this insight into modern warfare? N me. nor for aught we know, has he ever been on the conti nent of Europe. Did he serve in the late war witn En;- land? He bore an adjutant-general’s commissions but his fear admonished him so often to avoid hostile , I.# that whenever a rumor of the enemy’s appearance in ms neighborhood prevailed, he immediately removed his quarters to a greater distance from the supposed scene of danger. The soldiers, encamped at Marcus’ tiook^ at last, became so exasperated against his pusillanimity, that when he paid a visit to their encampment, they run him from among them, as if he had been a mangy pig. This was his honorable career through our late struggle; but he had other affairs than those of Mars to attend; much of his time was engaged in decrying the move ments and motives of our brave generals, whom he durst not emulate them in the field against the foes of the re- public, and the medium through which he ushered h:s slanders to the public was that “faithful chronicle,” the Aurora. Where, then, it will be replicated, did he gain any knowledge of military science? To this query «e can only answer, by remarking, that he lias been in the East-Indies, and may have served under Tippo Saib or colonel Wellesley, now the duke of Wellington. Serringo- patam, with its vegitative defences, for instance, was an excellent school for novices intending to become inti* mately acquainted with the mysteries of war! If our hero has been-present at such scenes as these, undubitably they have dilated his genius, and matured his honor and pru dence. But it has been whispered that Billy waS not a military man, until he landed on our shores; a nd, therefore, it is-very probable he hired some indigent superanuated Frenchman to commit plagw ty on the pages of M 1 Donald and Vandamme, t® which theft he may have added some of the eccentric ebullitions foy which he is remarkable, making altogether a hotch potch composition which no one has ever been able to reduce to practice. This will account sufficiently! why the war department, so soon as it had leisure, fou®^ it expedient to appoint a military board to frame a r.e* system of discipline for our troops, and discard the heterogenous one of Duane. Still he is the only military genius that was in our country, during the *ste war! Brown and Scott are incapable of appreciat ing the merits of his works, and the government ti swimming in corruption and peculation for having reject' ed them. God preserve us!
