INTERESTING.* The folowing is an extract of a letter from a very respectable gentleman of Portsmouth, near Norfolk, dated Au gust 17th, 1806. “ Some very interesting accounts are expected in print in a few days from a Mr. Andrew Leckie, a person who has been discharged from the Bank. lam told important discoveries will be made. Our Collector, Col. Newton, has like wise involved our President in difficulty, by clearing out three armed vessels, ev idently intended for Spanish privateers, commanded by a man named Turk Cooper, of famous memory—a spirited remonstrance has been made by Mr. Merry, and I suppose it will not be the means of settling amicably the differ ences between the two countries.” N. Y. Pap. The Erench frigates Veteran, under the command of Jerome Bonaparte, has arrived off Annapolis. The re v mainder of the squadron under Admiral Willemaux, consisting of Le patriot 74, L’Eole 74, Le Foudroyant 74, L’lnipeteux 74, and Le Caspert, have put into Hamton Roads—The Veteran is dismasted, and has thrown several of her guns overboard. Philadelphia Car. A WESTERN NAVIGA , OR. WE learn from a gentltman from the country of Attakapas, of the arrival j at New-Hiberra, a little town on the J merTeche,ofa Kentucky boat, laden with flour. This boat was navigated by a Mr. Slaughter ; she departed from the falls of Ohio, and arrived at New Orleans about the last of May, where Mr. Slaughter not finding a sale for his flour, he determined to seek another market; he therefore ascended the Mississippi to the Bayan La Foorche, through which he passed by the way of the lakes and the sea, to the mouth of the Teclie. Mr. Slaughter was actu ally on the ocean in a common Kentuc ky boat tor several days, without either compass or sail. This bold navigator made in safety his destined port, and met with a lucrative and ready market lor his cargo.— Orleans Ciuz. A ew-York, September 1.

Extract of a letter, dated Fort Ann, State of New-York) July, 1806, from Doctor Isaac Sargant, to Doctor Samuel H. P, Lee, New-JLondon. “ Having been for about fifteen years i in the practice of Physic in this place, i where most prevailing diseases are of, the biliious kind, and frequently those j of the most alarming and obstinate j grade, I had with much anxiety wit- J nessed the deficiency of the Cathartics I generally made use of in those com plaints, and anxious to find a better composition than any I had as yet been acquainted with ; at the advice of a friend, I made trial of your “ jYerj- J. on don Bilious Pills"— which so far ex ceeded any other medicine of the kind in their good effects in removing the complaints for which they were admin istered that I have now for a number of years, made use of a number of do zen boxes in my practice in each year, much to the advantage of my patients. I use so many of your pills, that it would be an object "to purchase them direct from you, therefore will thank you for your prices for cash, delivered at Troy, &c. &c. Isaac Sargant.” Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, one of the professors in the seminary of sciences at Cam den, (S. C.) to his sister in Ncw- London—Communicated by Mr. James Bulkley, merchant, of New- London, dated October, 1805. “ South-Carolina has never, perhaps, since its settlement witnessed so sickly a season as the last summer, and the devouring pestilence still continues its j alarming ravages ; and it lias not been i confined to this State alone. Its deso lating march has extended from Virgi nia to Georgia. “ I have however, been so fortunate, as to escape an attack from those dread ful fevers which prevail in this country ; and I attribute my escape, in a great measure, to the extraordinasy virtues of certain Pills, manufactured by Dr. Lee, of New-London; the good ef fects of which, in preventing those dis orders which arise from bile, are cer tainly undoubted.” it Translation sf a letter written in Paris by a person who ranks high in literary and /'.olitical merit , written in May last, and received by u (ate arrival at Bal timore. “ Your last letter carries with it the language ot a man irritated and furrow ed by the distresses of a revolution, so long and varied. You are of opinion that all is over with the royalists, and in your despair you look upon the name of Bonaparte with horror. If the chain of events had placed you like myself near the machine that directs the move ments of this extraordinary genius, vou would then be convinced that lie was the only man, the sole person that could strike such wonderful blows.— Indeed we see that he has struck to the ground the hydra of democracy ; this monster that has occasioned so much evil, wdl now no longer rise af ter the stroke it has received.—This work alone, sufficed to excite in me sen timents oi respect and veneration.— And you, like myself, brought up a mongst the distinguished class of the nation, curse his memory, without re flecting that, by establishing monarchy in France, lie has done every thing for royalty. Already these carmagnole ma gistrates, tliese administrators, these judges, these sansculotte generals, these lords, excellencies, ol new birth deck ed with the livery of their new master, emblazoned by shining ribbands and crosses, bear w ith evident complaisance the standard of royalty. There is now but one step to take—Let, then, the cairn of mind, that light of reason, illuminate your judgment; and you will find, that the royalists had never before such hopes. Mature these ideas in the leisure of your retreat; they will be as a consoling balm to the incurable wounds the revolution has inflicted up on you, and make you bless the secret hand, the profound policy, that makes this extraordinary man serve its own j particular purpose. Adieu, &c." Balt. Ev. Post. London , July 11 . This morning has exhibited to a great distance round the metropolis, the most dreadful thunder storm that has happened for many years. We are fearful that we shall have to record many accidents occasioned by it. The storm lasted from 9 till 12 o’clock.— The lightning struck the powder mills at Hounslow, and all the four were blown up. Fortunately all the ■ people were gone to breakfast. Admiral Linois has been refused a passport to return to France, until his government shall have given permis sion to a number of British subjects, equal to that which have been relieved irom lienee, agreeably to the scale which was settled. It is believed, how ! ever, that no particular difficulty has occurred, and that the account current | will be kept with regularity. Admiral ! Humanoir, and the four captains taken j by Sir Richard Strachan, were allowed ' last week to sail on their patrole from Plymouth to Morlaix. Government has signified its readi ness to treat for 150 transports, all cop per bottomed, and of a proper height for troops. They are to he victualled for 6 months. July 18. MR. FOX. There is little hope, we understand, that Mr. Fox will ever again make his appearance in St. Stephen’s Chapel. The authority upon which we state this, and we do it with sincere and profound regret, is too good to allow us to en- j tertain any doubt of the accuracy of : the information. Mr. Fox is not tfor&, but Us disorder is of that nature to pre clude any prospect of his being able to encounter the fatigues of his parlia mentary duty. His illness is not con fined to one complaint, but consists in j a complication of disorders, which have produced a very alarming effect upon liis constitution. The disorder under which Mr. Fox is now afflicted, is pronounced to be a confirmed dropsy, and considerable ap prehensions are entertained for his safety. ® AUGUSTA PRICE-CUIiREFT.
