Philadelphia, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, i 7 96. ] ~ 1 Diid, in this city, 011 Sunday lift, Mr. Prr*» Gaze- 1 >iAV*, merchant, of George-Town, Potomac. < The following reports goTiuto circulation after the ' arrival" of the mail this forenoon, viz. That the Thetis Capt. Cochran, is arrived at S\ndy Hook—that a sri- ( gate of 32 guns* one of Capt. Barney's squadron, was t taken by Admiral Marray's squadron and lent off for ; Halifax, and that the fleet was in pursuit of the others. The papers by this day's mail do not contain any firai- ! lar account. , Since writing the above, we learn that there aj-e letters in town from New-York which give the fame 1 information. 1 A veflel arrived here last evening in three days from 1 Richmond—the captjin of which fays the Thesis tav in Hampton Road last Friday. The accounts by the arrival at New-York in 42 r days from Cadizs seem to contradia the news of Ri- t chery's having faded for St. Domingo in company r with Don Solana, the Spamfh admiral, as publilhed in ,the Courrier Francois—fee yesterday's Gazette. A Baltimore paper fays— Capt. Marlball who went this port in the (hip Unicorn, was executed at Cape-Francois the 16th of August. Seven sailors and the mate of the brig Philadelphia, L who had murdered their captain at sea, and who we re' afterwards captured by Commodore Barney, were ex ecuted with Marthall.

" "The troops of Cayes marched against Irois, the principal poll which defends Jeremie on the tc Weft fide. The attack was vigorous, but the de- tc fence was Ail! mote so. The besieged after haying 5' made several fuccefsful Tallies, routed at last the be- C siegers and pursued them to Foh Tibtiron. 31 " At the fame time tht; polls of Plymouth being iiibrmed by. their spies, that the camp of Pcrin was tr left unprotected, the garrifoo having joined the troops from Cayes, they sent detachments to the P' Southern difhift, who took that port, made 12 2 - vihile people ptifoners, carried off the arms and am- ar munition, broke the carriages of the cannon, and as- P| terwaids retired." di A captain arrived at New-York, states the iofs of the French in the above affair to be 500 men. 9 ! — ce ANTIQUITIES. Letters from Florence mention a very £reat disco very m a place where it was leait expeifted. Near the. T town of Piperno, formerly called Pivernum, fomc artists made a search, and fpurtd some inferiptions, and foine. fine pieces of sculpture. The firft is a statue of a man fitting, twice as large as life. It is the statue of Tiberius Ccefar, sculptured !n as It is of gr'at value, inafrauch as it is n aunique, and becauie the statues which we have of Ti- at terius are imperfect. It is of that species of very fine marble which is called Copolla Statriaire.- * m The remains of a statue of Claudius, the head and Sf bread in perfecl preservation :. a naked statue of one ln of the Caefirs, and a worp»n, without heads. S l ■Several fine heads, particularly one of Aurelius ; o or' r 1 head of Jupiter; of the younger Faustina; of a Wl worn ar., fnppofed to be O&avia, the wife of Nero— t0 were al§) discovered. ' P r All these statues, and several inferiptions, prove, 'f 1 that the place where they were found was the Eorurn tlc ef the ancient Pivernum, where the statues of the Ca:lars had been eretfted. New discoveries are ex pend to be.made in the lame place. |"London paper.] Tranflatidfor the Gazette of the United States. — Ti ExtraA of a letter from Paris, June 9.

' A well informed correspondent observes, that "it 1 is nts Isnger matter of surprise and alarm, at the giaxt z Jlep! 'with which our wealthy North is advancing to " the pinnacle of en-vied POPULATION, and our evapo- ; rating south is drooping under her fupetitt policy." c " When to the northward of Virginia," he observes, ' " a mechanic, a merchant or an artist comes to refidc ' 1 amongst them, they eagerly seize the opportunity of I c rendering him every assistance, use every means to in- 1 ' duce his attachment to the placeJie has ehofen to re- J fide in, and exult in having contributed to the increase j e of the ftate—finally, they discover all those good qua- ! lities, as a reward for A'hich, Providence seems to have bellowed on them, this-vaft and insurmountable fu- 1 periority I"—Contrasting the scene, he continues— ' " but when a mechanic, a merchant, an srtift, or what 1 1 not, shall come to reside southward of the Pcfcimac ( ' (Ol Virginia I my native, still lov'd, and everrene- f ' rated state! why do you force me to develope what t ! otherwise than forced, should have'been sealed in lalting J ' olivion—but it is necessary—it is requisite—you are ' sleeping, callous to impending dangers, rosfe then and view yoir erftirs I —100,000 fouls will support the alle < gation)—he is immediately envied—all combine to ' render him difguftful in the eyes of the community ; c 1 one exclaims "he will injure our right worthy neigh bour —another—" tjieplace cannot afford li'en a competency I"—a third—" d n him, FU do , 1 him all the mifchief I can I I"—As a stranger they V give him no chance of displaying his talents, btcaufe he ' l feels himfelf oppressed among Free-Ma !

Can this be denied ? No! bijt rt can be proven I What pity it is then, but the lightning of jufl reproach could dart its terror into the humid bosoms of such men, till fojeed to acknowledge its impropriety and impolitic tendency, they might at 'aft turn to consider in what confiftc the 11 true intertfts of these southern states, and what steps are necessary to prevent tW rapid which the t northern, and that state in particular, where (lands the present emporium of America, are making over .them, p One thjng is certain, that while the former persecutes and tKe latter protects trade and manufactures, (he will always command an alarming supremacy.
