A Letter from London, dated
the 7th O&ober, (received by
the above arrival) to a gentle
man of this place, dates, that a
French squadron, luppofed to
be the Rochefort squadron, con
fiding of three fail of the line
and several frigates, had fallen in

fome dnps from Bengal j that a
seventy four had engaged the
Calcutta of fifty guns, which it
was supposed, was captured, as
well as fome others of the fleet.

ts Our republican governor
has been re-eledted, nearly una
nimoudy—there have been but
a few fluttering votes. Every
Senator and Representative, e
iedled to tire next aflfembly, so
far as I have heard, is a Repub
lican : and alcho’ the federalids
had but two members in the up
per and three in the lower house
lad year, I am led to believe
they will not have even fomafcy
the present.
<c We have been uncommon -
ly healthy here this fealon.—-
The emigration to this country
the present year, has far exceed
ed that of any former one, The
United States’ lands lying in
this diftridt, are nearly all taken
up. Lands which were fold 3
years ago for 2 dollars per acre,
are now felling at from 12 to 15
dollars per acre.”
It is true, we under (land, that
there is on board the Congreis
now in the Potomac, an ambas
sador from the Bey of Tunis to
the United States. His name
isSioi Sulim an MalaMan
ni, and he is attended by a nu
merous suite. The circumstan
ces attending this million are
too lnrereding to be omitted.—
For a conflderable time pad the
Bey of Tunis, had manifeded
hostile feelings towards the U.
States, when three Tunisian
snips were taken by our block
ading squadron, off Tripoli.—
This aft excited the indignation
of rhe Bey, and menacing letters
were addrefied to our Commo
dore demanding fatista&ion.—
As soon as peace was effe&ed
with Tripoli, Com. Rodgers
entered the ‘l'uniflan Bay, and
sent a meflage, little expended
bv they Bey, whole court was
thrown into condensation. The
language of menace was disa
vowed, and all intention of
coming to a rupture with the
United States d-Atkimed. The
itibfifling differences between
the Bev and Commodore Rod
gers issued in the former pro
posing, and the latter acquiesc
ing in this midion, with the view
of making the proper assurances
and reprefentacions to the Pre
sident of the United States.—
We understand that according
to the uiage of. the Barbary
powers, this million is to be
considered as adiftinfton paid to
the United States, as Jthofe
powers never fend ministers but
to nations whose power they
hold in great relpeft.
According, likewise, to their
customs, it becomes the duty of
our government to provide for
the lodging and maintenance of
the ambaflador. The house,
lately occupied by Mr. Stelle,
has accordingly been taken for
the reception of the minifler,
who, no doubt, will be received
with diftmguilhed honors.—-

It is expefted lays the Inde
pendent Chronicle, that on the
meeting of Congress the impor
tant business of national com
merce will be fully considered.
That measures will be adopted
to give proreftion to our pro
perty and seamen ; that the Bri
tish nation will feci the weight of
our trade, not only within thei
manufafturing towns, but the
islands. We have strength in
this species of warfare, which
would command the attention &
refped of that nation. Our
imports of their fantaftical arti
cles of fafhion, which only serve
to vitiate our habit and intro
duced idleness and diflipation a
mong our citizens, are the main
springs which enable them to
enrich themselves at our cost.
Let us only ceale to barter our
national honor for gewgaws and
aritcles of foppery and we might
bid defiance to that power which
now wantonly sports wi h our
sovereignty and independence.
The fuppreftion of a cargo of
British manufactures would be
more powerful than 10 fail of
the line, for the latter might be
captured, and occasion a loss of
millions, but the former would
enforce its operation with an ef
ficacy too powerful to be con
cealed, attended with the flrving
or millions of dollars, which are
yearly remitted for fuperfiuities.
Let us know our strength, as it
relates to Britain, and we fiiould
not long hesitate in putting it
into operation. Ships of war
are the strength of Britain, but a
non intercourse would soon dis
mount every cannon of their
navy.
On the fubjeft of Spanish
captures, (fays the United States’
Gazette) we learn that many of
them are owing to the want of
proper papers, such as are re
quired by the treaty which ex
ists between the two govern
ments. ‘That treaty (in the
17th article we believe, but not
having it before us we cannot
be positive as to the article) re
quires that our veifth should
,
be furmfhed with passports of a
particular description, not the
confuiar passports which cur
merchants a r e in the ha lit of
obtaining and rely in* upon, ar.d
the want cf such as are dcßri
bed in the treaty, is alledged as
the reason why lb many of our
vcliels have been captured and
carried into Algefiras.
Wc arc confidently allured,
that the government of Spain,
so far from authorifing the cap
ture of American vessels, have
recently issued circular orders
to all their officers to treat the
American flag with particular
refpeft.
As this information may be
relied upon, we hope soon to
find our commerce relieved
from one of the embarralfments,
under which it has lo long been
laboring.
An elegant dinner was given
to General Eaton, by the citi
zens of Richmond, on Thurs
day the 14th ult. as a manilcf
tation of relpeft: for his charac
ter, arid gratitude for his late
services. Among those present,
were the Members of the Exe
cutive Council, Judges of the
Court of Appeals, General
Court, Chief Justices, dec. —
Ihe toads drank were fenlible
and appropriate. We feleft
the following:— e -‘ The Ameri
can, who arpidH the Catacombs
and the Pyramids of Egypt,
could, make man oiily his ftu
dy.”—” Lieut. O’Bannon of the
marines and midlhipman Mann ;
tae heroes, who fii ft planted the
American banners on the walls
of Derne.”—“ T ire warring na
tions of Europe : they destroy
each other, while the Americans
give laws to Barbary.” —“ Great
B.itain—why will Use dig up
the hatchet of animosity, by
condemning our vessels and im
pressing our brethren.”—The
Rights of Woman.”
We have for fome time, been
in poffcflion of a faft, which
may not be uninteresting to the
readers of novels.
The novel under the title of
“ Ike Sorrows of IVerter ”, lias
generally been supposed to be a
fiftion \ but it is a real history
of events which did aftually
take place. A gentleman from
abroad, has related to us, that
he was well acquainted with
Lieut. Immelhaufen , of his Bri
tanic Majesty’s 60th Regiment
of foot, who is a full coffin to
Charlotte. Lieut. Immelhaufen
informed him, that the events, as
related in (< The Sorrows of IVer
tcr,” were ftriftly true, except
that Cba/rlotte was not so hand
some as lhe had been there re
presented—and that she is ftili
living—while IVerter moulders
in the dull.
The above may be relied cn.
The gentleman who related
it, is of undoubted veracity -
and several German officers of
his acquaintance, in the Briiifh
service also assured him of its
1
being ftriftly true, they having
known the parties. *■
