Married, On Saturdiy evening last, by th»Rev. Dr. Metier, Capt. Francis Atkinson Hunt to the amiable 1 Mils Sarah Dunton, daughter of Capt. William Diinton of this city. The United States frigate, building in Southwark, under the direction of Mr. Humphreys, is -n fueh a Hate of forwardnefs, that it* is probable she might be launched befors the 'ensuing winter, ihpuld occasion re- It is with pleasure weobferve that the ufeof Oxen in lies of Horses, for the common purposes of farming and for draught, is daily becoming more prevalent throughout the state. One drover lately brought down near three hundred head of cattle in one drove to the vicinity«of this city, from the weiterh parts of the state, which he very focn tliffiofed of—A large proportion of these were fleers. The advantage which the use of Ojten gives over Horses, consists in the following particulars ; They require less feed, Will perforin more labour, Make better manure, And, When they have become so old as to be unfit fotj fcrvice, will fell for (laughter, and bring a confi scable proportion of their original cost • A Horse, on the contrary, when worn out, is good for nothing. The rontinuance of the very high prices of all kinds of flour atxi bread, is one of those extraordinary things f.r which it is difficult to acconnt or afiigrvany rational I cause. The spirit of {peculation in grain has raged to such a dpgree, that there is no doubt we should have been fcrcoght to a state of starvation had not the couiltry been inexhauftiblc. h has been said, that there is. at this mo ment, notwithstanding the immense quantities of which the cJnited States have Ken drained, a fufHciency of grain of the fcift yeta-V crop tofcrve for the ordinary consump tion 'tijl the ensuing hnrve/t, witliouf' aid fra;n the crop of the preient year, which is well kiiown to have been abundant. This being the cafe, is it not very unac countable, on any just principles, that the article of grain {hculd be higher here than in France, Spain, and Great- Britain, to which countries we have been for twelve jnejuhs past pouring in such enormous supplies ? BY THIS DAY's MAID. BOSTON Augufl 30. ARMED NEUTRALITY A junction of the Swedish and Danish Grand ftetits, took place early in June, and they immedi ately proceeded on a cruize into the North Seas, to protest their commerce from being diflurbed by the cruizers of the warrinjj nations. These power ful neutrals have been almost as frequeistly damaged by the tyrants of the o«ean as America. Our na vigation is now tolerably secure, thanks to negocia-. tion—and they are obliged to equip a large and expensive fleet, sot the prote&ion of their's. This remark, however, is only good as it rcfpeifts English cruizers. The French indeed,. have com menced a partial boftility on our vessels : but this it more to be attributed to the advice of some of our " Patriots," than any bad disposition of the French. By a brig which arrived on Sunday, in 64 day? from Gibraltar, we lparn, that the Emperor of Mo rocco, has issued orders for the capture of all ves sels bound to the ports possessed by hi? revolted brother, under the appellation of enemy's ports. Under these order?, a Dane, a Swede, a Portu guese, and an American, have been taken. The*.,' latter was tl\e brig Emmeline, Prentifs, of Boston : (lie w'as bound to Safea. The formei vessels were, cleared, in coHfideration of their failing previous to : the general promulgation of the orders. The A merican Consul at Qibraltar, was trying to get the Emmeline released, and 1 it wSs would fuc- 1 ceed. j FROM SURINAM. Capt. Stover, from Surinam, "which he left Aug. 2, infotms, that two English frigates lay at ihe giouth of the river, in fight of the Dutch (qriadron, at New-Fort. The Dutch Admiral ; brought ships bearing-about weft from us, dfflance about 3 - leagues, Cape-Charles then bearing about well, di : fiance about twelve leagues, tlje ships shaped their ■ course for us, but on some guns firing, which we took to be near the Chesapeake, two of the largest ships tacked and flood for that place—the other, which appealed to be a sloop of war, continued her course for us, but about 9, 011 a signal made 1 from the other /hips, she tacked and flood for them, 1 an(l about l J o'clock they were out of fight, at 12 we discovered them standing to the east ward under I full fail, and soon discovered four other ftiips in chafe, which continued until about 5 o'clock, when one of the ships coming up with one of the ships t ihafed, an atlion commenced, which lasted but a 1 few minittes, and as Coon as the fmoak cleared away, 3 so as to difenver the ships, we miffed one of them, - which we are persuaded must have funk, another 1 ship then coming up with the one which had been t engaged, they continued their course after the . other two, which at dark appeared tp be about a league diitance.

SALEM, August 23. Eroffssor EBELING, Of Hamburg, has sent into America the third volume of his American Geography, of which we gave'a fpccimeh lately under tffe article, Salem. This i y elligent and ingenious inquirer into the 1 history of our country has considered his work as the continuation of Bufching, whose work com prehending the Geography of Eurppe is in eleven volumes in the last edition, ProfefFdr Ebeling gives in his firft volume New-Hampshire and Maflachu fetts ; in Uia fecotrd, Rhcide-Ifland, Connecticut, Vermont, and New-York ; in the third, he conti nues New-York and New-Jtrfey. He la» been careful to collect the bell authorities, and has had great success. A French tranllation is bow print ing at Paris, and we hope that an American transla tion will not be forgotten. The plan of Bufehing has not been fallowed by any works we now have, and it so well unites the statistical accounts with the geography and local divifiohs, including all the works known either as " States of Countries, Geo- " '■ '■ graphies, or Gazetteers," as to demand a prefer ence. The edition of Paris will have several cor : ' reftions, and a new German edition is expedted. : This geographer, with profeflor Hegewifch of Kiel, ; has begun an American Magazine ; of which the firlt number hat reached us, which \frill be a re pository of our most ufeful statistical and commer cial information.
