v.'i J” of >1 guTi-Of.g , 4ii<. f iC nati come to anchor in the roads, (the brig being about ro execute lomc ore!rr at 13 ritanny passage,) the wind favored hiseicape, and he iaiicd. Me could not afeer tain the exadt force of the squa dron, nor their destination. Ic was currently reported in town, on Saturday, that Mr. Bowdoin, had not been accredi ted as minister of the United States to the court of Spain.— On what authority the rumor was founded we know not; but it is certain, that letters have Seen received here, by fome re cent arrivals from Spain, hating that he would not proceed to Madrid; but on*the contrary, was actually preparing to take his passage for England* with his family and fuitr. TRIPOLI, tn our laid we had the pleasure eff announcing to the public, the interesting and highly grateful information, that PEACE IS MADE WI TH TRIPOLI, on terms honorable and advantage ous to the United States; in coofequence cf which our nnf* fortunate countrymen are at length emanfipated. There has been no arrival since, by which this intelligence could be cor roborated by any advices more hired or official. There can be no doubt, however, with re- Ipedt to the principal that peace is at length made, but public curiosity llill remains to be gratified with the account of many interesting particulars,— It was at firft reported, (and we so Hated the htt) that the ex bafliavv, with the aid our brave countryman Gen. Eaton, had lbccceded in ejecting the uforp er, and as rightful poffdTor, was rcinfi.are.iin the government.— It is now Rated, we know, not on what authority, that the at tempt of the ex-balhaw. has wholly failed. We are therefore left wholly to conje&ure, with relpeft both to the real cause, and the ex.tet terms of the peaces It is far From being probable that the reigning Balhaw would have contented to emanfipate his prisoners without an exorbi tant ransom unless under the in fluence of imperious necefluty. Nor is it probable that our gov ernment would willingly give tech ransom at the present mo ment, when a powerful squadron hid just arrived in the Mediter ranean, when the feat on of ac tive operations was just com mencing, with a force which we mull suppose our government believed fufficient to compel the government of Tripoli to make peace on advantageous terms.—. We arc therefore induced, until the particulars 3re announced, to attribute the merit of this achievement to the bravery, the fpiiit anil the perlevcrance of cur dtftinguifhed countryman gen. Eaton. He is represented as a man of dauntless courage, of ardent perleverance, of inex haustible resources, of a spirit not to be deterrcT from the pur suit of a great undertaking, whilst rhe'leaft profpeCt of I ne eds remains. It is therefore prelum able, that in conjun&ion with the ex-balhaw, it he did not make a complete conquest of the territory of Tripoli, chat he gained luch an acceluon of fttfiigtij, tme* \ xr the reigning Bafhaw, as to com pel him to emancipate the Ame rican captives on easy terms, and to acknowledge particularly at last, it nor fully, the rightful claims of his brother. Ic is certain the heroic Eaton with his ally, gained a victory over the troops of Tripoli, and were foccefsful in taking poffcf lion or the strong fort at Derne. It is highly probable therefore that the reigning Balhaw, might under Inch circumstances be willing to g r ant peace to the United States on advantageous terms, for the purpose of with drawing their lupport from his brother. But would the agents of America enter into fueh a peace w.chout making provision for the claims of their powerful ally by whole assistance it was obtained ? NE W -YORK, Aug. 24. An Englifn 50 gun ship and a frigare (luppofed to be the Leander and Cambrian from Hill fax) were off Sandy-H >ok yesterday.—We are informed that they captured an inward bound ship. Aegu ft 28. Two inwand bound ships were captured on Monday off the Hook by two Britiffi vessels of war who are now blockading this port. September 4. The Britilh ship Leander, and rhe frigate La Ville de Milan, from Halifax, are gone to cruise off the mouth of the Delaware —and probably another ship or two will be Rationed off the Chesapeake. The principal ports of the United States then will be in a pretty complete date of blockade.—The {hips of war at Sandy-Hook, we are informed, board all vessels in or out. The ship Ocean, whose cap ture was noticed yesterday, was brought to and cleared by the Cicopatre ; after which tee was detained by the Cambrian, and ordered for Halfax, under con voy of the Indian {loop of war. NORFOLK, Sept. 9. This morning a letter was put into our hands from a very ref peftablc gentleman of this bo rough, dating circumstances which we are very terry to learn, but coming from such a respec table source, we cannot ter a moment doubt their veracity, and our duly ditiates an expo fun; of tech intolerable condudh T he New-York packet Way mouth, on her passage from this to New- York having onboard feyeral ladies and gentlemen of this place, was met by the Bri tiffi Hoop of war Hawke or Dri ver, who fired several (hoc at the packet after tec hove too, and within :oo yards distance. The lieutenant, who came on board, behaved in the moll bru tal manner, reviling the Ameri cans in the grossest terms, and wi{Tung that his nation was at war with us. ‘They were in die aA of taking two fiaves from on board, whenobferving their am;, • the officer declared, if they were not so old he would have taken them. Those outrages, committed in fight of our ports, and by persons whose Rations would lead to a fuppofidon that they were gentlemen, cannot be cen tered in terms stronger than they merit. More Spoliation. —Wc are ter ry to announce the capture of the brig Catharine, capt. Seward, from Antigua, of and from this port, laden with a valuable car go of K um, for account of citi - zens of the L T nited States and merchants of this place & Portf mouch. The Catharine was taken by a French privateer, and ordered for Porto Rico. —• There has not been a capture yet made which has excited more alarm and more indigna tion. There was not rhe lead colorable pretext for this cap ture, the owners of the vessel and of all the cargo are well known to us, and they-are all ! citizens of the United States.- . The only re a ft) n forth? capture ; was the value ! This informa- j tion comes by a letter from Portland, (N-. H.) received by last mail. The duties on this cargo would have been upwards of 6500 dollars ! so goes the revenue. —— ■ KNOXVILLE, (Ten.)

FROM RUSSIA. • The ship Maria, capr. Hig gins, arrived yefttrcLy, in 60 days from Crcnftadt. When the Maria failed, 10th July, there was every prospect of Rus sia becoming a party in the war, The Ruffian fleets were fitting out with ail pofiible expedition, and her armies were recruiting and preparing for ablive ope rations. The following is t ran Gated from a late Hamburgh paper, re ceived by the Maxi a. BERLIN, July 13. The negotiations thro’ which Europe was in expe&atibn of a ‘ general peace are at an end.- Mr. Novofilzoff has returned the pass which he obtained thro* the interference of our court, for his embody to France. He will return to-day ar to-morrow for St. Peterfburgh. He deli • vered on the 10th in ft, to our Cabinet Minister Von Harder*- berg the following NOTE ? When his Ruffian Majafty cofer.ted- to the witees of his Britannic Majesty, to tend the undersigned to Bonaparte, to anfwcr to a pacific overture which he had made to the court of London, he was guided by two equally powerful motives: on one fide, to assist a fovereigrt who was ready to make fieri fa ces for the general tranquility, and on the other fide, to draw advantages for all European powers, from a wifii for peace, which was thought fine ere, from the manner in which it was an nounced. The prefect Gate of relations between Ruffin and Frunce, might have laid great obftaclex in die way to negotiation, thro* a Ruffian minister. His impe rial Majesty, has notwithHand ing, found no difficulty in over looking all cautes of perfonat displeasure, and of the usual for malities. fie profited of thi interference of his Prussian Ma jesty, and limited himfelf, when he asked paflports for his pleni potentiary, to the declaration, that he would accept the fame, on the two following conditions only : That his plenipotentiary was to treat with the Chief of the French government, with out acknowledging the new title he had assumed; and, that Bo naparte was expreffiy to declare, that he was dill animated by the the fame desire ter peace, which he had declared to his Britannic Majesty. This previous decla ration became the more neceffa rv as Bonaparte immediately after he received the anfwcr of his Britannic Majesty, assumed the tile of king of Italy', a title which could, in itfelf, lay new difficulties in the way of peace. After his pruffian Majesty had lent the formal anfvver of the cabinet of the Thuilleries, that he persists in his objeti: for peace, and that lie would lend the helping hand, his Ruffian Majesty excepted* the paflports, as the French government af
