an engagement took place off the island of St. Mai

two Englifli sloops of war, one of 26, and the o

off. Shortly after an English Irigate of 32 guns
bore down upon her, but a squall coming on sepa
rated them.

Capt. Felt, arrived yesterday in 53 days from
Cadiz. Admiral Richery with his fleet was (till

The Spaniards were very averse to any measures
{hat might incur a war with England; and were
determined to be extremely ex<i& in observing their
neutral duties, and to avoid the charge of partial

Capt. M'Lellan, 8 days from Bermuda, informs
us. that the Bermudiahs are actually quitting she
bnfinefs of privateering, which they have so infa-
Wufly profevuted'tt) the detriment of our com
merce for a long period. Most of their privateers
are already hauled up, and they dismantle everyone
agitarrivesj Thereafon of this sudden change of
condudt, is the panic by which they are ftruclj by
the news of the reversal of some of their Vice
■ Arairalty decrees. Reports were current, that
writs of attachment had arrived, and weie about
being executed upon the property of some . of the
principal privateerfmen. v

General Abercrombie was ft ill at the island. No
particular expedition was talked of. The Enghlh
at St. Lucia were much annoyed by the runaway
blacks, mulattoes and the French who escaped to
the mountains on the capture of the island. They
commit continual violences, with almost complete
impunity, flying .to the bufheg afterthe perpetration
of any atrocity. Markets were bad.

that the celebiated Captain Barney, late of. Bal

eight in number, that were to fail in a few days
from that port on a fee ret expedition, and were to
be joined by three more from an adjacent port,' It
was conjectured the Weft-Indies was their dedica
tion. Captain Barney has often declared his anxi

I request you to insert in one of your earliest

A paragraph inferred in the Courier Francais
pointed at Philadelphia the [ 3th of August 1796
(O. S.) places in a falfe light the conduct of the
Governor and of the Magillrates of Philadelphia,
in regard to the attack made on the hospital of
the French Republic by woikmen in the neigh
bourhood.
. Sever.il of the guilty ha-ebeen taken up, and will
no douht receive the punishment they deserve. His
excellency the Governor of Pent.fylvania and Mr.
Clarkfon Philadelphia, u.ider application
to them, immediately tciok the necessary measures
to prevent all diftmbance, and if the means of re
prefling'any iiforderthat might occur were no: of
tenfive, they were, on 'hat account, the more sure.
The writer of the paragraph alluded to has been
mifinformed, and is its appearance in Fiesch might
lend the publia to believe, that it was concerted
with the agents of the French Republic, 1 think
it inccn\tjent on me to declare, that far from having
experienced a denial ofjuftice from the magistrates
of the State of Pennsylvania, I reeeived from them,
upon this occasion,' unequivocal testimonies of the
most ready zeal ; and that I in consequence
returned them officially my thanks, particularly to
his Excellency the Governor, who gave himfelf
the trouble ofperfonally attending on the spot.

Philadelphia, Augufl 1, 1796.
Gentlemen, •
THE Merchants of this city have'for some
time palt beheld with regret a regulation, enforced
by a proclamation of the Governor, obliging eve
ry vessel coming from any part in the Weft-Indies
to perform a quarantine of five days, although the
port from which (he failed may not have had any
infectious disease ; and that no petfon on board was
at the time of arrival, or at any time dining the
passage, labouring under any such disorder. The
intention of the law which veiled so an pie a dif
cretion in the Gavsrnor. was, no donjit, intended
to prevent the importation of infectious diseases ;
and the preservation of the health of the citizens
is of so much more importance than any pecuniary
loss or embarrafmeut of the merchants, that they
have'fubmiited to the regulation, howeverunneetf
fary in thfir opinion, father than make themselves
responsible for the consequences that might arifc
from any alteration. They always retained the
hope,' however, that the neceflry of such a regula
tion would either have been demonstrated, or that
one less injurious to their interests, and equally ef
ficacious to the end in view, would be adopted.— j
Tsut fin-ling the proMV'tim continued, tnd not
being able to fattsfy themfelvcs of its necefiity,
duty to themselves and to the community, irnpcll«
them to reprefeot—idly, That there are many of
the ports in the Weft-Indiei,. as heajthy and as
free from infedtioui diseases as the" city of Phila
(1-lphia. 2dly, That where vefTels have been heal
thy during the pafiage, and continued to be so on
their artival, there can be no danger from their
being admitted to pass in the com fe of twenty
four hours, in which time fati*fa&ory evidence
might be had that no impofiiie'n was intended?
jd!y, rll p.t the detention of parsons artifriig in
perfect health, confined to the narrow limits of a
vefTel, ar.d impatient to be with their families and
friends, is calculated to produce the very end that
is intended to be guarded against—sickness and
disease. 4'l>ly, That upon every moderate com
putatiiui, taking one vessel with another, there
(will be dii attual lots of at least one dol
lars; and if the whale number shall amount as com
puted to five hundred, the aggregate will be fifty
thousand dollars, 3 loss too great to be (übmitted
to, except it (liall be juftified by the necessity of the
cafe.
While they suggest these alterations to the board
of health, it is not their wish that they (hould be
adopted the fulleft consideration, and the
advice of fttch Phyfivians as would be competent
to advise on so important a fabjeft. If after such
consideration a«d advice, these or other regu
lations less injurious to them, and equally efficaci
ous in preventing the introdu&ion of jnftftioua
diseases, can be adopted, or even the existing ones
Hiall be determined to be necessary, they will reit
fatisfied.
We have .thought it .refpe&ftll, and mod likely
to obtain a candid re-con fid erat ion of the lubjeft,
to addreis ourfelres to you ; we do it in the fulleft
confidence that you will immediately take it into
consideration, and do therein what shall appear to
be proper.

'Twas not 'till'the 14th ihft. that we en
tered this fort. Capt. Thomas Clarke whacom
manded here, had left it some hours before we ar
rived. Lieut Elmer, on account of some bufmefs
had pafied the preceding day and night in the fort.
Immediately after we entered the fort, we an
nounced it to every body and thing within hear
ing, by the discharge of 15 cannon, and'by display
ing the American colours. We are all here at
Idngthi having waited fix days at Ofwego Falls for
Capt. Clarke to take away some ot his Majesty's
(lores, for which purpose a Kingston vessel had
been hourly expected. We find the gardens left i*
good order, containing large quantities of vegeta
bles. In short, Capt. Clarke's whole conduct has
been that of prudence, politeness and benevulence.
He hag diitributed among our officers two sheep, a
bear, a several cats, and snow-shoes. We
find a plenty*>f tables, some chairs and other valu
able articles- The fort is situated on a high and
commanding ground, near, an(i in full view of tfce
grand lake Ontario. L' eut * 'Rowan, ant! Doctor
Rhodes remain here. The fort is a regular penta
gon, with five bafliotis, and accommodations for
300 men, besides store-houses, (tables, &c. The
whole would make a most handsome appearance,
if the works were not old and in a date of decay.
