that on the very fame night, he with
the garrifbn embarked on board of the
Ihips of war which were in the port,
and gave up the unfortunate inhabitants
to tlie diferetSon of the French, who
next morning took pofleflion of the
town.
The !ame paflenger fays, that the
French are entirely mafters of Domi
nica, except the Grand Aiife, and that
every thing in that illand, as well as in
Grenada and St. Vincents, has become
the very prey of the flames.
There is a report in this city, that
the Englifh have evacuated Port-au-
Prince; but we arc allured by a captain
that arrived here, that they have it
only in contemplation, on account of
the epidemic fever which rages there
violently.
PHILADELPHIA, July 21.
One of the letters from mx*. Jay to
lord Grenville in the famous corref**
jjoudence between them relative to the
treaty, fuflicienily fliews to whom the
exclufivc merit of this extraordinary in-
ftrument belongs. In that letter mr.
Jay informs lord Grenville, that after
returning from the interview of the
evening before with his lordlhip, it had
occurred to him, that he (mr. Jay),
would have more Icifure than his lord-
fliip, whofe time was too much occupied
by the other momentous concerns of a
great nation, and tbercfbre he had let
down and prepared the heads of fuch
a treaty between Great Britain and the
United States, as he conceived ^wouhf
be mutually advantageous to both coun
tries, and had taken the liberty to en**
dole the fame for his lordfhip’s conli'^
deration. This letter was aniw’cred
by lord Grenville a day or tvvo after
wards, when apologiftng to in;. Jay
for unavoidable lclay, occafioned by
other important engagements, and com
plimenting him for his diplomatic ta
lents, he returned the lieads of the
treaty with a fingle alteratibn or addi**-
tion to the 12th article, containing the
prohibition which now appears in that
article on the export trade of the U -
nited States, afliiring mr. Jay that with
that finale niodiiication the (ketch or
heads of the treaty propofed by mr.
Jay met bis (lord Grenville’s), entire
approbation.
Querc. Is it not prefumable from
the foregoing fatft, that mr. Jay car'
ried a treaty with him ready prepared
from oUr government, and does not
the treaty itlelf evidence the ftile, the-
language, the feelings and the politics
of the late fecreiary of the treafury,
who, it is well known, expetfted himftlf
to have been the envoy extraordinary ?
July 22.—Mr. Howell, fome time
flnee editor of the Argus, in Bolbon,
now relides at Owyhcci in the Pacific
Ocean. He is much refpeLfted by the
natives, and has aflumed their urels,
manners, and mode of living.
Captain Gardener, of the brig Hope,
from Surinam, informs, that three days
after leaving the above place, he fpoke
three 74s, who, when hailed, anfwered,
from Holland ; they, however, hoifted
Englifh colours, but had the cap of li
berty upon their mails, and were filled
with Frenchmen wearing the national
cockade.
They refufed to tell where they were
bound, but captain Gardener is pretty
certain that they were on their way to
Surinam, from the courfe they fleered,
and from their being daily expcdled by
the inhabitants. The port was filled
with Dutch merchantmen, that had
been lying ther^ many months lhaded,
filing to fee to w'hom the colony
would finally belong. ^

joyful cheers Upon
their fafe arrival in'this happy land of
rrcedoni, which was echoed by a great
number of fpedlators on fhore.

BALTIMORE, July 28.
Saturday arrived at the fort, brig
PariTou, captain George Storv, from
Jeremie, 18 days.
Captain Story informs, that on tlie
4*h of July, an officer from the Har''^
moinc frigate, at Jeremie, came on
board the Paragon, and prefled three of
her men, American horn,—and from
other American veflcls, he prefled two,
three, and four from each. The next
day the American matters went on
board the frigate to demand their men ;
but inftead of obtaining their releafe,
the captain of the frigate treated them
with great contempt, and told them,
that he had received hew orders to
prefs whatever number of meii he
fliould want; that one of the matters
afkcd the Britifh captain, if thofe or
ders were not from mr. Jay ? he an-
fwered, they W'cre. Captain Story
obtained one of his men ; bui all tf.e
refl; were detained on board the frigate
to tbi^number of 55.
ALEXANDRIA, July 25.
Extra!fl: of a letter from Norfolk, dated
July i7j 179s.
Yefterday evening mr. Jay’s effigy
wasburned in this place. They paraded
it through thfc ftreets In a cart—the

Extratit of a letter from the Delaware

People here ar^ much divided on
the fnhjetft of mr. Jay's treaty; fonic
are for burning him and the 20 approv
ing fenators in effigy, others arc of

PETERSBURG, July 31.
Accounts from Barbadoes of the 2oth

nada prtfents one continued feene of
the mod dreadful dcftruction—and
fuch is the general calamity, that the
colony is reduced tb little fliort of total

NORFOLK, Anguft
"We arc happy to find, that notwith-
flanding the fevei ity of the hurricane
on Sunday laft, in and about this town,
the accounts from different parts of the
^oiuitry are more favourable than could
be expeded ; and w^at is aftonifhing,
although a number of trees have been
blown down and fome torn up by the
roots, there has been but very little
damage done among our fliipping in
the river and bay.
EDENTON, Auguft 6.
On Sunday laft we experienced as
fevere a gale of wind, accompanied
with rain, as we recolletft to have hap
pened here for many years. It began
at E. N. E. about two o’clock in the
morning, and continued iii that dircc-
non until near evening, when it fliifccd
vio P Southward, encreafing in
lolencc. The water in the found rofe
nearly four feet higher than what is
generally coiifidcred a high tide, and
done confiderabfe damage to the
wharves,' and ftores, &c. near the wa-,
ter. ..everal old buildings, and a mint-
ber or trees and chimnies were blown
^ belonging to Bofton,
the Sally, captain Matchett, went aftorc
in the marfh, but has foriunatelv fincc
got off, by taking out her cargo.
From every account yet received, an
alinoll entire dcttruCiion of the crops
of corn has taken place.

Pravers are rcquefled in all tl:e con-
gr.“gatioiis throughout this ttate, for
the recovery of Independence, under
threatening fyinprom? cf a decay. Ma
ny who feel themfelves interefted in
her health and profperity, are greatly
afraid, milcfs effectual remcdiesifimulcl

have the mournful occafion of attend
ing her funeral oration !

T he fubfcfiber having been frequently ap

plantations, houfes, flaves, and various other
fpccies of real and pcrfonal property, has, at
the inftance of hit friends, opened an cfbcc for
the above purpofc, where the intcreft of the
BUYER AND SELLER
will be equally attcr.itd to; and where every
pcifon defirous of difpoling of their prenertv,
may have the greatefl probability of meeting s
ready piirehaftr.—Thofe, on the contrary, w ho
arc inclined to Iny out their money to advan

accommodate themfelves to their fatisfairiicn,
