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. Alexandria Expert or. 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. Salem Register.
