Philadelphia,
SATURDAY EVENING, August 20.
A duel was fought a few days ago on the banks
, of ih»- Schuylkill—the partiea foreigners, one of
which was mangled in one of his arms. Three or
four (hots were fired by each. The cause we did
uot learn.
The floating bridges over the Schuylkill hare
been complained of; numerous are the accidents •
that occur on them in the course of every year : '
The week before last a carriage and horses wwe
precipitated into the water from the bridge over the
lower ferry at Gray's. The horses, a very fine ,
pair, were loft, and some of the company in the
carriage had a naVrow escape from drowning. The '
railing on these bridges, either from the form of '
their conftru&ian, or from carelessness, affords a
■very feeble prote&ion.
We hear that Genera) Charles Cotes-worth
Pinckne*, of South-Carolina, is to succeed Mr
Monroe, as Minister Plenipotentiary of
tiiteil States to the French Republic.
Mr. Pi n/:kne y is a gentleman of the firft abi- 1
lities, a firm Republican Patriot, and a decided &
unequivocal friend to the Conftitation and Govern
ment of HIS OWN COUNTRY.
Notwithstanding the superiority of the naval
power of Great-Britain, the French traverse the •
ocekn, and make immense captures. It is highly
probable that great part of one of the Jamaica
fleets, lately met with by an American veffei, ow
ing to the fmallnefs of the convoy, will be captur-
ed ; as a fnperior'force of the French went in pur- j
suit o£ them, aiid were within five or fix hours fail. -

A letter from London by the last arrival dates—
that great apprehensions had been entertained that c
the (hippersof Rice from the United States would C
sustain great losses, in consequence of the great i
quantities of Rice imported from India—'but these ~
appreherrfions\ had' entirely fubiided. The Rice l f
from'lndia had turned out fa bad, being of an in- /
ferior quality, that American Rice had got up to f

The bill fer affording some trifling relief to that
refpeftablt body of Christians, jhe Cfciakers, w >th
has, owing to the opposition of the archbishop of G
Canterbury, and the bifliop >of Rochester, been G
thrown out by the House of Lords. The latter
(Dr. Horflcy) confeffed that he had no idea of the q
fcrupoldUs conscience of a Quaker. His Lordship —
lpoke currefYy. He doubtless judged of other —
. people's confcic rices by his own.—Que re,—Does —
his Lordship understand even the meaning of the
Word ?. Prudence, however, one might have hop- _
ed, would have suggested to our prelates, uot to
be so very ftiff on the fubjeft of tythe oppressions H
But the testimony of all ages unhappily proves,
ttyit. churchmen are the last to learn wisdom, and A
to prevent even their own ruin by timely reform.
The Jacobin fattion at Paris have happily been H
defeated, in their attempt to overthrow the g°- "
vernment by infurrettion. Although the men who H
now rule in France, loverturned the couftitutional
governed by the fame accutfed means on the 10th
of Augttft, 1792, yet we hope such means will In
never be again attended with success, against any —
conftitu*ion, whi h, whatever may be its form or ~~
defects, like the republican constitution of France, "
has in it the genuine principlesof liberty, found.-
Ed on the RIGHTS OF man. j,.
Norwich Theatre exhibited, last Saturday, a L *
scene of confufion, loyalty and bloody nrfes, oc
casioned by the officers of the diffetent regiments ~
there, infixing on the audience hearing the song of _
"God save the King," with hats off. The com- Le,
marid did not suit the disposition of the people, and L 'l
a general fcuffle took place, which terminated in
touting the officers, who fled to their barracks and
quarters for protedlion. Several of them loft their
swords and hats. It is to the credit of two or M,
three of the officers present, that they did not join M '
in the difgraceful scene. M '

GLASGOW, June 9. f e
Yesterday morning arrived in tnc Clyde, the 01
Dutch fngate the Jason, of 36 guns and ao. men, to
r-: ,V onckum ' commander. Thi* veffei. th
whish failed tram the Texel on the 23d of Februa- Pi
17 loft, was, as appears from the depolition of the' w;
Captain now before us, one of a fleet of 17 f a || th
four or five of which were of the line, and twelve m
of which wrre bound to the East-Indies, under ihe -
command of Rear Admiral Lucas ; the rema.nder of
to Surinam, under the command of Admiral Braak. A
On the Bth ot March, between the iflandsof Shet- hit
land and Ferro, Capt. Donckhum met with a gale er
ft wind, which (htfted hi, ballast, separated him -
from the reft „f the fleet, and obliged him ,0 bea, P<
away for Dronhtheim, whete he arrived about th al
2°th of the fame mouth. After refitting a- Dron mi
theim, Capt, Donckhum, on the 20th of May he
am* prosecuted his" voyage toward, Surm.nn, without
*ny remarkable occurrences until the 31ft ot that
month, when, 50 leagues to the weft ward of Broad
haven in Ireland, he fell in with the Mary Ann of
this port from Nevis, which he captured and .funk,
after taking out of her fouie rum and (lures. Capt.
Cts. D. theikbeat about by contrary winds in the fame
latitude, until the 4th iuft. when his crcw, d:fpleaf

privad them of their prize-money, or it may be,
incensed at their nfficers for appropriating to their
own life the rum and stores taken from the Mary I \
Anne, muynied, eonfintd Capt. D. and his prin
-1 cipal officers, put the frigate under the command
of Capt. Crawford, of the Mary Anne, and order- 1
ed him to pilot her into the fir It British port, with

5° HAGUE, May 26.
State of the army of Holland. 1
The national army of Holland consists of seven *
hqlf brigades of infantfy, organized on the new i
plan. Every half brigade contains a battalion of t
light-horse, a battalion of artillery, and a regiment t
of cavalry, which are all in good condition. The 1
light-horse especially form a molt beautiful corps, t
14 They intend yet to raise a half brigade of infantry, (
25,000 French soldiers form the principal of their 1
foreign troops. 3
The Republic has, besides, five battalions of t
J0 Waldeckers, and two of Saxe-Gotha, in pay. They a
67 are about to re-organize them in brigades, and are
54 now in negociation with the Princes of Waldeck
4° and Saxe-Gotha.
There are, besides, in Holland, three disbanded
battalions of Swiss, but who will be retained on c
the pressing solicitation of the Dutch minister, ci- h
tizen de Witt, in Switzerland. f
14 All jhefe united troops, national and foreign,
** make a force of 49,000 men. t
The fixed maintenance of the twenty.five thou- a
35 sand French soldiers in the campaign, amounts to o
in twelve millions of florins per annum ; they are en
-14 tirety at the disposition of the Republic, and their if
chiefs are under the supreme command of the *1
jo Dutch National Contention. Their plan is to k
augment the army from time to time by nev* bri- f<
gades. d
•33 In the mean time, the plan of arming the citi- b
• 5 ° sens as National Guards has pafled ; they are to
' 2S the number of 62,000, the sixth pari of which n
*7 en g ß g e t0 serve, in cafe of neceflity, in campaign (
or in garrison. p
The greatest difficulty in this disposition was to tl
determine, whether the ci-devant companies of
Orange, who were accustomed to place themselves h
66 annually before the palace of the Stadtholder, ft
66 should be comprised in this organization ; after I
some opoofition, it was agreed that they should be 1
of the number. o
63 The maritime force of the Republic will eonfift b
of 22 veflels of the line, 31 frigates, and 16 cut
-67 ter*. To call forth a desire for the sea service, they tl
have established certain premiums for the encou- 6
ragement of seamen. «
ROME, May 18. tl
i* On Friday last the banker Bottoni receired an
Clmrtt Crnm Tl*- (-
verse, who sent him a letter from the commiflioner ft
Salicetti, wherein the latter declares, that the ri
33 French are determined to enter the Papal domi- it
nions, and that they will allow the Pope but 20 tl
days to treat with the Republic. (In order to un
derftand this, it is necellary to know, that this
54 Bottoni was commiflioned about a year and an half d;
20 ago by the Pope, whose only confidence he pof- A
So feffes, to negociate with the minister Villard.) T
57 Bottoni immediately communicated these important n<
60 i |fp tches to the Duke Brafchi, nephew of his Ife
37 Hoiinefs. It was not difficult to make the Dnke pr
6z 'e» the necessity of immediately commencing ane
3j gociation, for he is a feniible man ; but this was an
not the cafe with the Holy Father. The Duke M
;o introduced Bottoni into his uncle's presence, and m
}0 it was with difficulty he made him perceive the m;
great danger wherewith the holy fee was threau.r- ye
P l- ThePo PPscf Wh °f e refolutlon « aie always the
e e . of a momentary impulse, immediately decided
to give powers to Bottoni to treat with the General it
