pctiu::S } negroes and our un
fortunate crew. Some of the
latter I this morning saw chained
to a cart, loaded with stones,
which they were dragging thro’
the town to repair the fortifica
tions. They complain much
of hunger, cold, hard labor and
the laili cf the whip. I confefs
I never saw any thing that wound
ed my feelings equal to the
fight of those poor fellows.—l
have liberty to walk in the town,
but am attended by a Turk who
is loaded with weapons of war.
J am not allowed to vide any of
the fortifications nor any of the
f ireign consuls. Captain Bain
qridge’s endeavors to relieve the
warns of his crew are often coun
termanded by our newrrufteis.
Five of our countrymeo have
turned Turks, and five have
paid their last debt to nature. —
piarhoea and dyfentary have
often appeared among our crew,
but on a free use of Carbonate
of Soda (Vatron) which is found
in abundance in this country, &
often white-washing the walls
of the pril'on with lime where
they deep, it soon disappears.
Our crew are now very healthy.
During the several attacks
upon this town by our squadron
under the command of Commo
dore Preble, many Turks were
killed and wounded, and several
men much burnt by the explosi
on of their own powder. I had
an opportunity of feeing their
method of curing burns in parti
cular, many of which extended
over the whole body. The
, Bafhaw has all his wounded
brought to an apartment in the
Caftk where he visits them and
makes them a prefect of ten dol
lars each. He then orders his
Surgeons and Mamelukes to
dress their wounds ; he often as
sists with his own hands, The
Mamelukes are his bodygguardss s
the Marabouts are employed to
expel evil spirits and make in
tercelTion with Mahomet their
prophet for their recovery.—-
Those that Were burnt, were
ft ft annointed with honey, care
fijjfy preserving the skin as
n- ch as pofiible, and keeping
th parts exposed to the air.-
They then iprinkle the ulcered
parts, if any, with a fine powder
of white-lead, (Cerufe j) this
is repeated at short intervals un
til a scab is formed, that is care
fully preserved until a cure is
accomplished, which is remark
ably soon.
tc I hope and expert that in
due time my country will hono
rably, and to the aftonifhmenc of
Barbarians and Tyrants, liberate
us from the chains of fiavery,
and restore us to our native
land, that happy land the tho’ts
ot which is a healing balm to
our fouls in their miserable bon
dage.”
When Mr. Granger came in
to office the mails were carried
in coaches about 9000 miles, he
has already (exclusive of the ar
rangements made for extending
the carriage iine through the
Fate of Ohio and Kentucky)
extended this fafe and efficient
mide of carrying to upwards of
15,000 miles. When the Pitts
burg fine was contemplated it
was thought impofiible for it to
succeed and the project ridicu
fcd as roman'c. It lus howe
ver now been many months in
fuceefsful operation, and doubt
lels will receive very considera
ble iupport from the contem
plated extension. Good taverns
arc every where met with, where
the llages flop, nor ought the
public ipirit of Me firs. Davis
and Tomlinfon, the contractors,
to be omitted, who have by
their exertions overcome iuch
heavy difficulties; Altho’ the
horses are as good on this line
as any perhaps in the world,
yet, in fome places the roads are
very bad. It behoves the le
gifiature of Pennfyivania to at
tend to this fuhjeCt, otherwise
the efforts making bv New-
York will In time injure the
trade of Philadelphia ; should
the treaty succeed now negoci
ating v/ith the Wtandot and
other Indians (which is however
tendered fome what doubtful by
the treacherous conduit of the
British agents) i: probably \vi i
not be long err a line of Itages
will run through the county
of Trumbull to Detroit; Such
are the exertions which have
been made and are contempla
ted, let them speak for chem
felves.

Extract of a letter from Cadiz,
dated June 3, 1805.
<c One of the ships of war, of
80 guns, that was in this port,
went out fome days firice, to
cruise in the mouth of the har
bor, and yesterday met with an
Englilh frigate of 44 guns ; the
Englilhman attacked him, and
maintained a brisk fight of
four hours } and then (hcered off
the Spaniards being to heavy for
him, but so badiy managed,
that the frigate, though confide
rablv injured, easily made her
tfcape. This glorious viTory !
(if it deserves chat name) was
yesterday celebrated in Cadiz,
from whence the fight was seen,
by ringing of bells, beating of
drums, &:c.
Among the curious occurren
ces of our country, are the
Camp Meetings, This religi- ■
ous novelty has been heard of in
the fouthem flares, but is in
progress towards the northern.
We lately heard of one at Nor
ton, and a .Field Meeting has
been lately held for several days
at Lynn. Os the last, we have
not had a circumftantiai account.
On the three last lays of June,
a Camp Meeting was held in
Weathers-Held, Vermont. We
fnall mention the principal fads
as they are given from that
(late. On the firft day 15
preachers were afifombled, and
about 150 hearers. At noon
the number had incre fed to 250.
Ten tenrs were in the camp on
the firft day. On the next day
500 persons had afieinbled, and
at noon 1000. At three in the
afternoon the number rose to
1200. On the Sabbath morn
ing 2000 were together, and the
number rose in the afternoon to
2000. At the Communion were
V/
180. In the close, 50 preachers
had arrived in the Camp, ot
whom 44 were Methodills, 3
Bamifts, 2 Freewillers an.i one
A .
belonging to a denomination
calling themselves Chrifcians.—
From the biginning of the meet
ing attempts were :ud: ere
ate coiifufion, and not without
fome fucceis. The benefits
which rewarded their zeal, are
represented ieal, but are not
given in the general accounr.—
The account fays, the wicked
ereded a rent hard by, and
foamed out wrath and malice ;
called upon the constables, tried
to seize a falling woman; and
undertook to whip a preacher :
dre lied themselves in womens’
cloathing j and employed black
and drunken men to pray, in
derision ; hooting like owls and
howling like wolves, and in the
woods imitating savages. We
leave the account without any
remark, before the public.
