The accusations, here insinuated, are of too serious a nature to be lightly believed or huslly developed.

St. Kitti, July 3. This morning a sloop arrived Here frbtii" Mpntserat, with intelli gence of the arrival of a French sqUadrpn of six sail of the line, and one frigate, at that island, un der the command of Adm. Wil haumer, who has, as a pupil and second in command, Jerome Bo naparte ; a boat was sent on shot e, and demanded the shipping rm the road, which were immediately de livered up, the consisted of three ships and one brig. The shipping a Nevis, in this road, irot dnder way with all pos sible expedition, and proceeded to Brimstone hill, when thev found the fleet left there at. 10 o'clock, thev pursued their way home.- .; ine rrencn squaqron hove m sight about noon, (which put the inhabitants in great consternation, bundling all their effects to the plantations) steering toward Brim stone hill, having in tow the ship - , obtained from Mdntsefat, they got off that garrison in the af ternoon, , When in gun shot a firr was opened upon them, which they returned by a few broadsides on the few ships that remained un der the hll. On Friday the 4th inst. they Tere at St. Martins and left there the same evening for Tortola, with the intentions, as they said, ' to destroy the shipping; and burn the town, in order to rdpt out that netof piratesand pvateersmen.,, On Sunday tlie $th, they were seen by a British brig ot war 'off Spanish Town ; the same day a British squacii on of 4 sail of the line and several frigates, under the command of Admiral Coclv rane, were seen uner a heav jress ofsail, steering for Tortola six; hours astern of the French squadron; they doubtless will come together on Sunday the 6th. St: jphns, f AntiguaJ Juhj 1, General Miranda has agrin sailed fdr the Spanish Ma:h, after having increased his strength at Barba does, and received considerable assistance from the British govern ment. We are happy to learn that he i not without hopes off co-operation from some of the inhabitants of the eastern part of Caraccas, where his partisans under the com mand oorie Ferdinand Medes Pinto, were sometime since col lecting in great numbers, in order to support him immediately upon his appearing off the coast. .. s . - i RIOT NEAR T LOjS UOH DOCK3 ' On Sunday aernoon,- a desperate-affray tooknlace between - number oi Irish laborers and some j menc . seam tTopgTld 1 ctup in nio juonaort uocks ; in iue BrdadpfayjVinmgthe D6cks?: y.i X ae quarrel onginated between an A merican i and rjnshniah, res pecting a, wdmari of the tow,ri , A; hattte ehsuedanai having gotLthe worst of, fit, Vent avay and remrned -kih the course of an .hour about 5 o'clock with a st rongreinforcement of his cotirt-'tmen,'-armedwith broomsdeics,- bludgenns-.': nokers. and various other sbtts of weapons, vhich they I i .i i i uianuisiieu in tneair, ana. witn violent imprecations dared the YAiiKEEs, as- they termed them, to the fiaht. The Americans who were .vry?r numerous, assembled in a body forheir own protection; but did not attempt to commit or pmvok? any? breach of the peace. Their forbearance, however, only tended to rendeftrie Irishmen more furious, and they shewed every disposition to "comtnence an im mediate attack. Some of the A rneHcans, induced from the threat iiing aspect of affairs, procured from on board a few weapons, but not sufficient to arm the whole. This was taken by the sons of St. Patrick for a challenge to a trial of skill with, the shxllila, audthey instantly made a ferocious attack onthe Americans, who were defea ted in the end with broken heads, legs, &c. after a most severe and bloody conflict. Upwards of twen ty Americans were wounded six of them so dangerously, that they were obliged to be carried off the ground. A young mat had his skull fractured, and lies with out Hopes of recovery at the White H.trtf - -Neptune-street ; one hadf both his legs broken, and was was taken in a hooeless state to to the. Loudon Hospital : another unfortunate man had one leg bro ken, and is by no means free from danger An American Captain, we understand, is among those most hurt in the affray. The suc cess of the Irish made them quite outrageous : After the result of the battle was known, reinforce ments were constantly arriving, who enlisted under the banners of Murcloch Sullivan, the reputed leader. This serious commotion excited gen era! alarm in the tie) ghborhood , and notice of the proceedings were transmitted tqhj Police :Office in that district, Vhen Sir D. Williams, Mr. Davies of Lambert-street Of fice, arid other Magistrates, as- sembledjtogether with a large posse constables, headboroughes, and o ther Police Officers, and repaired to the spot, where the rioters were still together in great numbers. About 40 of their most active were anorehended. and lnHtrH in thi- i v . T - j- several watch houses in the vicinity 1 of Tower-HiU, Guards.from the volunteer corps in the district were placed over them all night. Yesterday morning the rioters were escorted to Lambert-street office, Goodman's Field, where they underwentan examination. A bout is of the wounded Americans (all who were able)attended to give evidence against th Irish. Th;y exhibited a deplorable sight. On investigation it appeared hat the Irishrnen were the aggressors : out of the 4(0 brought up for ex amination, were clearly identified' to have taken aa active part in the affray j 15 of these were fully com mitted for trial, and 8 who had been les3 violent than the rest were sent on board the tender. A wo man who wasidentifled among the crowd on the outside of the office, as he person wW gave to an Irish man at the time of the conflict, a; clasp-knife for a yeapon, was la-' ken i into . usody examined ad fully, cornjnittcd. v Before, the: American seamen were suffered Jo depart the court, one of the Magistrates called their attention to a few words he had to say. He reminded them of a riot which toolc place some time ago, in the neighborhood of Wapping, in which some American seamen were he principal actors. On that occasion the Americans werefound culpable, and punished according ly. He did. not mean to say, that any of those present were (cdnc);rn. ed, but he wished to impress upon their minds that the laws of this country were equally administered io Pcons of all nations. The Americans , wcre ib tni3 instance the injured parties, and. justice jmouid be done thern. He tras ?PPy to say,Vtht from all that ap peared; the Americans had con ducted the rnselvWm thisVnplea- saht affair;:! With prdec cretiop i, and any vlptencethat had been rnaniFcsted bynhemjvasQnly4 tn their own defence Her conclu: ded by exhorting themioti:a11 future occasions to act with prudence and forbearance, and they would be sure to4 meet with the same res pectand protection from the laws as British subjects. v TayctteviU, 24th Joly, 1806.

Though Bark, m substance, is generally recommended, yet the stomach frequently will not bear suctilarge, repeated doses as are sometimes necessary. ThU inconvenience is obviated by the use ot the Concentrated Tincturej as it can be given with greate? advantage, and mere likely to agree witfc the stomach, the dose not being unnecesarU ly enlarged by any indissoluble matter, whick it is evident the Batk, in its orisinai sate. contains a tea-spoonful brdy'of this Tinc ture being equal to a large dose of tUe Pow der or to six times its quantity of the com pound Tincture of the New-Londoa Phar maeopoei; The great bitterness also gives it a peculiar advantage in Bilious Disorders, and renders it an excellent substitute for Medieinal Bitters. j Another advantage, still more irapor tant is, that in many fevers of the remit tent kind (particularly those of warm cli mates) in which a superabundance of bU ar t T" rYt'i iTim ir4 Me Uo m-o rf rnm. mon bark, this, by its superior bitterness, seems the best" See Dr Rtlph an tbt Tellovi Bark, Western Lands THE Sqbscribtra residing in Mct A District, State of Tennessee, havehai in their possession for some time, a cornet! cop of all the warrants issued from the of fice of John Armstrong, late Entry-taker of Western Lands, . so faf as regards ifai Middle District; as also of all surveyi made and on which grants have issued j? the said dfsfrict ; that from the possesncfl of those documents, as well a from actual survey s made on the premises, they feav , nearly eompleted a connected Piat of th 4 said surveys, of the lands entered at)dni surveyed, and of he vacant lands on th Duck and Elk rivers, and the creeks whits make into the same.
