NEW YORK, November 9.
On Monday evening last, a large
number of people collected near the
corner of Chatham Row—and there
.ndertook a luminary investigation of
certain matters and things : in effect
ing which, it fee ms that one noted
brothel was entirely levelled, and all
the furniture and feather_beds de
. ftroyed ; another of like description,
lhared nearly the fame fate. Several
rnulket charges were fired from the
firlt assaulted house, bv which several
persons were badly woiinded.
On Tuesday evening the buftnefs
was renewed with a considerable re
inforcetnent ; and afcer destroying
another house hear the fields, the
company proceeded to the place called
Canvas-town,- where they took fucli
liberties with the houses, furniture,
and feather beds, as it was thought
necessary to over-rule. Accordingly,
the word being given for the support
of good government, a large number
of cirirens repaired immediately to
Federal Hall. A company of horse
were instantly equipped and paraded,
which, with the determined citizens,
no sooner appeared, than the avengers
at Canvas-town thought proper to
retire.
The magistracy, with the military,
conducted the business with much de
cision, while the citizens displayed a
audable 2eal for order and the laws.
PHILADELPHIA, November 1.
A Rove has been invented at Lati
cafter, and called the Lancaiter kitchen
f'tove, which it is thought will fioon
come into general ulfe, and be a great
laving of wood to the community.
With the fiove may be boiled four
pots, containing near thirty gallons ;
meat may be roasted as at an open
j fire-place, and four loaves of bread
baked, with pies or paftrics in abun
dance. The kitchen may likewise be
kept to any delired degree of tempe
rature, and at no greater expence of
wood than is necessary for a ten plate
stove,

LANSINBURGH, OHober 22.
A Speech, delivered by Complanter’ s
nephew, on bis arrival from the
treaty.
Forf-Franklin, Sept. 17, 1793.
i( Brothers—listen to what I am
going to tell you.—\V r e arc sent on
j by the chiefs to let you know what
L has happened fmee we left this place,
j —Our warriors and chiefs, a great
I number of them, are laying under
; ground; we have undergone a great
| deal of hardfliip, since we left this
I place ; you will let general Washing-
S ton know, that we warriors have often
| turned out to treat, but now we will
f never turn out again.
“ Now we will let you know con-
Icermng the treaty held last summer,
I with the Shawanefe, at the forks of
I the river. Lass summer we made an
I agreement to go to the treaty ; this
I summer, brother?, we have tried
I lung to make peace, bur could not
Ido it. . ‘ t
j t Eight days ago, as we left that
| place, a Delaware arrived, informed
us, that fome of the Indians are go
ing to war, but do not know to what
parr.—Nearly all the warriors had
gone to attack the army. After t?ur
departure from them, they were much
vexed at our taking part with the
United States ; we now held a coun
cil with them, after the council of the
hostile Indians—-Alexander M‘Kee,
killed three beeves, and gave it to
them to make a frolic—three chiefs
have thrown off their horns, and are
all to be warriors alike, and no more
councils to be held.
“ The Pottowatimies, and the fix
nations, have all put their hands to- .
gether, to be on the fide of the
United States ; the Shawanefe, and
the Tawathtiwias, are determined to
be at war as long as they have a man ;
their warriors were willing to make
peace upon the United States giving
up all their lands, on the weft tide of
the Ohio, and Alleghany, from four
miles from the river, but their chiefs
would not agree with it, unless all the
lands were given up : they would 1
believe have made a peace, had it not
been for M'Kee ; for when they
were near a conclusion to make a
peace, M'Kee then interfered, and
told them, if they would make a
peace, they would be ruined for ever,
3nd that he would supply them with
any thing they wanted, ai he was
authorized to furni/h them with any
thing they stand in need of, but men;
they have taken 6 of general Wayne’s
belt light horse out of the stables.”
SAVANNAH, Dec. 7.
Extract of a letter from Charlefltn, dated
November 29.
f ‘ ’ An American veflel arrived here
a few days ago, which left the Cape
the 1 7th inlt The town was then
entirely burnt, and all the whites had
taken refuge on board different vel_
lets The negroes and niulatt OCR
were yet poffellors of the place ; the
Spaniards, who are matters of the
town of Petit Ance, in the harbour,
were daily cannbnading them very
violently—The commilfary Santho
nax has left the town, and retired to
Port au-Prince—lt is the negro Pi
errot who is considered the chief ge*~
neral of the banditti.—Polverel was
then at AuxCayes—A vessel is also
arrived from Baltimore, which brings
information that the ftiip la Boillon,
with 160 passengers, arrived there,
from the Cape ; Ihe had on board
two large calks full of silver, plate,
&c. said to belong to Polverel and
Santhonax ; who, no doubt, are
preparing to visit its, well furnilhed
with their plunder and booty.—As
soon as it was found out, two guards
were placed over it ; one American,
and the other French ; the latter was
placed by the French conl’ul—Such
is the result csf their political measures,
that their emigration to those islands
has produced nothing but diffrefs,
ruin, and defoldtion.”
We are informed, that a gentle
man in this city lias received advice,
from a quarter which may be de
pended on, that it is finally agreed
on, between our supreme executive
and the Britifli ambassador, that all
losses and damages sustained fey the
Britifli {hipping and commerce, from
the different vessels fitted out in the
United States as privateers, under
French commissions, fliall be reim
bursed to the refpe&ive claimants, by
these states.
. We announce, with pleasure, that
in consequence of the favourable re*’
ports from Philadelphia, the general
intercourse between that city and ours
is again opened, without any let or
hindrance lave that of airing all cot
ton and woollen goods brought from
thence-
Os Sunbury races we can at present
only fay,—that they occupied but two
days ; that Tuesday’s purse \va* won
by mr. Burke’s bay horse , and

the duke of Orleans, having, it is
laid, been delivered by the Marfeillois to the
commandant of the Spanish licet, the latter
immediately had him put in chains, and thrown
in the hold of one of the men of war.
London, September i. The -official letter
from fir James Murray, contains the molt in
tercfhng particulars. .An attention however
to the range of the cordon of the combined
armies, which extends above an hundred and
fifty miles, will shew, that the divilion under
the command of field marfhaU Freytag, con
filled of but about ten thoufaml men, attached
to the army which is colnmanded by the duke
of tori. It is this divilion that has been de
feated. The lots is feverc—lsoo men killed,
wounded and milling', and the consequence has
been, chat the duis of York , in order to remedy
the dilafter, has -been obliged to abandon his
position before Dunkirk, and to take port
about ten miles therefrom, leaving thirty-two
pieces of battering cannon, and considerable
(lores. This must retard the operations of the
siege, but will not fruflrate it.
Septemitr 14. It is fome consolation, how
ever, to learn, that the British, under his royal
highness, though they have been obliged to
abandon thirty-two pieces of cannon, and part
ot the (lores provided for the siege, made good
their retreat to Adinkcrque, where they are
now encamped, without any loft of men—the
loss fell upon the Germans.

vefTel came into Torbay, the captain of which
positively declared, he palled through the
French fleet about four leagues off the IfLnd of
Scilly, which confided of thirty-two fail of the
line, befidei frigates.
On this intelligence b'eing received it! the

the Englifli fleet dispatched several eiprefles in
dillctent diredlions, to ftgnify the fame, lome
of which palled through this city late lafl night.
