Asa specimen of the validity of
effiaai accounts published in London
papers, we extract the following pa
ragraph from the Star, refpefting the
memorable engagement between the
Ambuiaicle and Bolton i rig ties. At
ter mentioning that the Bolton de
coyed the Atnbufcade into arrengage
nient —that they were within piltol
ftiot —that the action continued up
wards of four hours, and a number of
ether particulars tquady as true, the
official account concludes thus :
“ Ihe Anihufcade had a tender
with lier, which lupplied her with
frefh hands three different times.”
Another London paper, with a
great degree of model! affurnnee, fays,
It is now certainly afeertained, rha f

NEW YORK, November 2.
The brig Robert, Steele, which
returned yelterday a prize to tlie
Cherf, a French Hoop of war, is laid
to have brought intelligence, that
the French fleet under the command
of admiral Sercy, had abandoned the
expedition for which they were de;-
ti -ed, and had failed for France. —
That this movement was occasioned
by citizen Rompard, who having ie
duced the people of the Juoiter, im

PHILADELPHIA, November 4.
On S a urday lalt the President of
the United States arrived at German
town, from his (eat in Virginia.
We hear with pleasure that nir.
Hamilton, the f’ecret.iry ol the trea..
fury, is at Germantown in good health.
Fellow -Citizens of Philadelphia,
Theunletrled state of the weather,
changing suddenly from cold to heat,
and front heat to cold, renders it utt
fafe for our fellow citizens, who have
for lome time redded in the country,
to crowd with too much precipitation
into the city, especially into houses
which have not been prepared in the
manner heretofore recommended.
Although we can with confidence
afllrt, that thediforder had abated, as
was formerly mentioned, and that
there is the greatest reason to hope
that it will fitortly disappear ; yet we
cannot fay that it is totally eradicated,
as there is realon to fear that it may
(till lurk in different parts of the city.
The committee wilb to impress up
on the minds of their fellow ci izens,
I the absolute necellity of cailfirig thole
houses to be opened and aired, which
■ have been long shut up, before they
venture to return ; and that this he
done inflantly by themselves, to pre..
Vent the necellity of its being done
another way.

BALTIMORE, November 9.
| European accounts, down to the
*5 r hos September, further confirm
the advices received by the different
arrivals in the ports of the United
States ; that the mod energetic mea_
lures were taken by the combination
of powers leagued against France, for
placing the dauphin on the throne ;
and for reducing that gal.ant na
tion to a compliance with those terms,
which may hereafter be iuhmitted
for their acceptance, and ratification,
(should they be able to conquer them)
by ttie crowned he..ds who are now
acting againlt the cattle of liberty,
in Europe—From the very numerous
fleets and armies employed at the pre
sent time, to subdue, if not entirely
overthrow the republican system in
b ranee ; it is a very difficult talk, to
form any decided opinion with re
flect to the fate of that now diltradted
and unhappy country : torn by in
tefline broils, and surrounded on
all Tides by the enemies of freedom,
flie ltill maintains a superior force to
combat with the delpots of the old
wmrld ; and if unanimity and engtrgy
were the Iprings of adion in then
councils, there would be the gieatelt
probability of fntcefs in the grand iiri
dertakings that nation is now engaged
in, with a view r to repel the attacks
of all her enemies : 1 hat (lie may
lucceed in defeating the machinations
and evil deligns ol these monarchs,
and princes, who are opposed to her ,
and at lilt come off victorious, tri
umphing over tyranny and slavery, in
the dow nfal of kings, and a corrupt
nobility—mult be theuppermoft wilh
in the heart of every true and patriot
citizen of United America.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 8.
On Sun.day night the 27th ult. a
French brig trom Cape Fran< ois, with
a great number of emigrants on board,
ran a lliore in Lynbaven Bay, and
went to pieces. As no person was
laved, it is impoffibie to state- how
many perifbed—t he bodies of men,
women, and children, to the amount
of forty eight or fifty have been found.
Many of the bodies were so mangled
and torn by the furf, that in many
places the heads, arms and legs, were
scattered on the fantl. Ail the re
mains were on Thursday lalt co lefted
and committed to their kindred earth.
CHARLESTON, November 21.
Extract of a l it r received by the sch roner
IV-hum ton Packet, arrived from the
kVe/i-Indies, dated St. Eujiatia , Atf
vember the 1793.
“ I this moment saw captain Wil
liam Newton of your port, in a
Ichooner, loaded with negroes, bound
to Havanna, he informs me that a
Bri'ifh (loop of war, fix days ago was
chafed into St. Vincent, by a French
fcjuadron, consisting of two lliips of
the line, one large frigate and a iloop
of war. It is generally thought here,
to be the French squadron from New
York, on an expedition to retake To
bago.”
AUGUSTA, November 28.
Extract of a letter da edFr and rickjburgh,
November 7, to a gentleman m this
town
“ There is a report in circulation
here, which is deemed authentic,
that general W'avnd’has had a general
engagement \*ith the Indians in the
welt ; has killed 700 and wounded
and dro vnetl by pulhing them into
the river a great number of others.
Wayne loft, it is laid, fix hundred
men in the engagement. General
S ott, who commanded the Kentucky
militia did great execution towards
the close of the battle—upon the
whole, ’tis conlidered that Wayne has
obtained a complete victory.*’
SANANNAH, Dec. 4. I
By a letter from general Wayne!
to general Scott, dated head quarters, I
September 18, we learn, th.it on the
16th he had received politive orders
from the president, to commence hos
tilities against the Indians.—This ren
ders the account of the engagement
between the federal troops and them
(under the Augulta head), highly
probable.
‘1 he governor of Pennsylvania, on
the 31st ot October, wrote to doctors
Duffield and Meafe, pbylicians of the
port ot Philadelphia, informing them,
that as the rime for the fitting of the
state legislature approached, he wilhed
them to make the enquiries,
to alcertain w hether the members
could, with fafety, alfemb'e in Phila
delphia ? l o which the doctors an
lwered, on the 4111 ot November,
that the disease had l’o rapidly de
clined, particularly within the two
weeks preceding, that there was great
realon to conclude, that it would not
1 e known in the city, or adjoining
diltricts, in two weeks from that
time. And that they were decidedly
of opinion, that the legislature might
meet in Philadelphia, at the appointed
time, without apprehenlion ot danger
from the contagion which had proved
lo fatal to a number of citizens.
We are informed, that the day
before the floopßetley, Aultin, failed
from New York, the Brit sh October
packet had arrived there ; and that it
was immediately c irculated, and very
generally believed, that London pa
pers received by her, mention, that
the duke of York ami his whole army
h.d been made pr. Toners ol war, by
the French :—and further, that the
allied armies were in the greatest dill,
tress, and had been very unluccelsful
in their various Ik rm Hies and lerious
actions with the republican forces.—
Whether these reoorts be well founded
1
or not, ceitain it is, that the French
veiTels in New York harbour teftified
their belief of them, by a grand dil plav
of colours, and repeated firings of
their cannon.
Lalt week a countryman was com
mitted to our gaol, charged wiih
forging the paper medium of South
Carolina, or uttering it, knowing the
lame to be forged.—A day or two
previous to his apprehenlion, he had
offered four ten pound bills for goods,
in a (tore in this city ; the ltore
keeper believing them to be counter
kits, and that the poffeflnr had been
impoled on, informed him thereof,
and advised him to return them to the
person from whom he had them :
inltead of attending to this salutary
hint, he (old them the next day, for
eighty dollars—this extraordinary de
preciation naturally affording a ltrong
prelumption of his criminality, he was
in conlequence secured.
Saturday iall being the anniversary
of the titular faint of S otland, the
St. Andrew’s Society celebrated the
day at the filature, where an elegant
dinner was provided, and the evening
Ipent in feftive harmony and convivial
mirth.
The port which arrived here on
Monday, did not bring the northern
mail, as usual—nor, indeed, any ci
ther letters or newlpapers than thole
from Augulta.
Ricketts, the celebrated equestrian
performer, has arrived at Charlelton,
from New York ; he proposes exlii
biting his performances there for lome
time, and from thence, we under
hand, intends to make a fliort excur
lion to this city.
Yelterday commenced the races of
Sunhury.—ln our next we hope to
gratify our (porting readers with a
lcale of each clay’s running.
A point of honour—The ful
lowing occurrence took place a few
weeks lince, in Charlelton, and as it
has not yet appeared in print, we
think it worth noticing here.—The
boatswain of the fliip Alfred, captain
Scott, belonging to Jamaica, having
fallen into company with a French
seaman, and politics becoming the
subject of converlation, the latter
made use of lome injurious exprellions
towards the king of Great Britain ;
the boat! wain thinking his honour in
jured in that of his lov.ereign, infilled
upon fatisfa&ion.—The Frenchman,
“ nothing loth,” attended him to the
appointed ground ; from whence he
retur ed a corpse, the firft fire of his
antagoniil having laid him lifelefs on
the earth :—the ball entered his tem
ple.— Ihe fuccelsful hero immediately
repaired to his excel.ency governor
Moultrie, relabel his “ plain tale,”
and lurrendered himfelf to he amena
ble to juftite ; the governor enquired
into the cirtuniftances of the fatal af
fair , from the leconds, and finding
nothing foul had taken place, directed
the boat.wain to enter into a recogni
zance, for his future app arance to
ltand his trial, and then d.liniffed this
triumphant foil of Neptune.
