The ship William, Captain Atkinfon, from Lancaster and Cork, bound to this Is land, has been taken and carried into Point a Petre. She failed from Cork on the 14th last, and on the 17th, 7. N. and long. 59, 30, W. in company with the (hip Betsey, capt. Fleek, from Glasgow, fell in with 4 French privateer schooner of 10 guns, full of men, mostly American, and commanded by one Williams an American ; the priva tefcr immediately attacked the Betsey, which after some resistance struck, and was sent off for Guadaloupe, after which an engagement commenced between the William and the privateer, and eontinuedfor five hours, when the latter 1 was obliged to flieer off. Next morning at day light, the William fell in with another French privateer Hoop called the Fox, of 8 guns and 95 men, this island bearing W. S. W. distant 5 leagues and engaged for two hours, when falling calm, the privateer got under the William's larboard quarter, and boarded her, in con sequence of which, the Supercargo, and 3 men *pre killed, and one wounded, when thsjvircre obliged to "strike—She arrived at Point a. Petre the 22d inft. So \erf near were the William and the privateer to this island at the time the firm er struck, that capt. Atkinfon attempted to throw himfelf overboard as*! swim on shore, but prevented by the engrtiy— 1 The William mounted 14 four pounders ] and 30 men. Capt. Atkinfon arrived yd"-, 1 terday in the Walfingman. | < * Williams we are informed, brought 1 this schooner from Baltimore, some time , 1 since* under French colours, and procured a canyniffion at Guadaloupe.

MR. rENNO, I request you would publish from the Au rora a paragraph which appeared on Satur day with the remarks following it. From the Aurora. In the war Speech of the President, he fays, that it mufl not be permittedto be doubt ed that the people and the government are one and thefame. How contemptibly must that man think of the American people who en tertains such a sentiment ? The administra tion are either the paifGns, or the tools of a British faftion. ERIWARKS. The best principles of patriotism diftated the sentiment which has cavil ling. The nefarious faftion have labored for years to persuade the people and rulers of France that the enlightened citizen* of the United States were difaffefted to the administration of their own government. — They told them so in the firft term of the Prefideucyot the flluftrious Washington. At the end of that term, thepeople UNA NIMOUSLY re-elefted him, and though this faftion know, that had Washington per mitted, the people would have AG "IN UN INIMOUSLTre-eleftedhim, yet they continue their abuse, their falfehoods and their lies. The people have elefted as the SuccefTor of Washington, a man, who, fol lowing the diftates of his own superior judgment, and the almost universally expres sed with of the people, has declared that he shall pursue the system of his predeeefT r." " How contemptibly must that man think of the American people" who " doubts that the government and the people are the fame ! " This faftion does not doubt it—they know it is a faft, they know that that the people feel and realise the important truth. The faftion despair of flirring up the people to' destroy the work of their own hands, their constitution, and with that, themselves. They are therefore employing every artifice to influence foreign powers to invade this country. They write and publish and fend their lies to France, that the people hate what the faftion hate, the constitution and the administration, and are tired of and dis gusted with, the freedom, peace, and pros perity they have so long enjoyed ! The fac tion has no hope but from a foreign power. Bachc fays " the administration are either the patrons or the tools of a British faftion" what jargon ! either the head or the tail. He has repeatedly called the administration the Faction itself. But who are the men that compofethe administration ? They are men who bore aftive and confpicuaus par.s in that revolution which terminated in the separation of this country from Great Bri tain. This calumniator, then a child, was imbibing those principles in France, which are now exhibited in traducing the best men 'in America. 1o tht Editor of the Gazette of the United States. SIR, The Chevalier d'Yrujo is much cen sured in the Gazette of the United States of Saturday last, by a writer who signs himfelf Amti icanns, fer having publifhcd his letter to the Secretary of State. If the crime is in publishing, has not the government com mitted this crime before him ? Have we not seen published in all the newspapers, with every mark of official authenticity, that the conduft of the Spaniards demonstrates : , " That they do, not mean to fulfill for an in definite period the flipulations of the treaty and also, " That there is jmuch reason to believe, Mr. Ellicott's suspicions well found ed, that an undue influence has been exercised ■ over the Indians, by the officers of his Catholic : Majejly, to prepare them for a rupture with the United States," &c. &c. , Would the Chevalier d'Yrujo have fulfill , ed the duties of his station, if he had fuffer l ed these official and public attacks upon the I good faith of his nation to have palled un- I \ noticed ? Was it not'incumbent on him to -! elucidate fafts and destroy conjeftures equal -1 j ly injurious and unfounded, f Americanus appears to have very extraor t dinary ideas of equity and justice. On the : one hand he does not censure the govern -1 meni for making their attack public, thro' the medium of the press; and on the other, 1 he is greatly scandalized, that the attack j should be repelled with the fame weapon. 5 He goes further, by denying to those fo -3 reign agents who come across the seas to r promote the interest of the powers they re -5 present, the right to defend themselves when - attacked, in a manner not refufed to any in | dividual in the United States. A man with » such principles, if he be an American, must; t be an Anglo-American. The plain state of the cafe is this. The : Chevalier d'Yrujo, and the Sovereign, whg/e ■ interests he is sent to promote, have been 1 publicly and severely stigmatized: Why 1 should he be denied the use of the press to repel an attack through the medium of the r press ? The faft is, Sir, that those who c for certain ends are in the habit of acting in t darkness, dread the light that may be thrown i upon their machinations by the torch of : truth. ' It is true, that in countries where the i press ia not as f.ee as it is here, and where the people have no fh'are in the government i it is not usual to give publicity to diploma tic correfporidencies ; yet there are instances, even with the monarchies of Europe, in which considerable publicity has been given in these matters. In the cafe of Armfeldt, copies of the correspondence between Na ples and Sweden were profufely distributed to powers belonging to the diplomatic corps ' in both countries ; and it was finally printed 1 in the freer countries and published to the world. But we are not to look to Europe to jus- < tify the propriety of publicity, in all go vernmental concerns, in this country. Here the government is the'creature of the peo ple, of course public opinion has prodigious weight; and if any branch of the public functionaries attempt to make, by means of the press, an impfeffion upon the public mind, injurious to the charafte r and interests of a friendly foreign nation, it is not only the right, but it must be the duty of the representative of that nation to repel the at tempt in the only way it can be met, —also thro' the medium of the press. This is what the Chevalier d'Yrujo has done. The conduct of the government of Spain has been attacked -officially and by printing, and he has -defended the govern ment of Spain officially and by printing. I f in doing this he' has misrepresented fails, and has not supported them by fufficient do cuments, let it be (hewn ; or if his deduc tions from them are falfe, let their fallacy be exposed ; but in this free country let it notbe faidj that the press (hall be a weapon of attack only, and not of defence ; aone but an Ar.glo-American could maintain such adoftrinc. VERUS. By this day's Mail. NEW YORK, July 15. More Harmless Duelling. Notwithstanding the recess of Congress this amufeihent continues im fafhion, if we may believe the following information from Hartford, which dates, That a few days since, a challenge was sent by Mr. Collins, of the' Old American Company, to Mr. Cro(by of the fame com pany; all was in readiness for procedingto execution, when the magistrates interposed, and took the combatants into custody. The challenger is said to have been tried, and sentenced to a fine of 3000 dollars, and one year's imprisonment. BALTIMORE, July 12. Extra ft of a letter from Holland, April 23, 1797. " But there appears to prevail at present . a design still more pernicious, as it strikes : direftly at our national union. From the i I present conduft of the direftory, it cannot [ \ be questioned, that they are determined up ; ! on a war with the government of the United 1 States. There are also numerous proofs in ■ in the prosecution of this war ; they are pre ■ paring to derive support from a part of the . American people. The policy upon which they proceed, appears to be this; that the - Atlantic, or at least the eaftem Rates, can ' not be governed by the influence -of France, ; ; and therefore, that a southern republic must ; . be formed, in alliance with France, to ferye 1 as a balance against the others ; but iti order : to foim this republic, France liirift makr j war against the present government of the : United States, in the progress of which she • can fend an army to fopport and assist her s allies of the new republic, and hereby they 1 will effeft two purposes at once; that of" 1 weakening by division a rising powfcr which they behold with suspicion and jealousy ; and' that of disencumbering themselves from a I considerable portion of the army, the return of which into France they already dread. They wish to form a republic in America, . they are now forming a republic in Italy, F to provide for the fubiillence of their troops, r or at least to be themselves rid ps them-—and > thus you will observe that tlvey step tofcvards 1 war with America, regularly as they step . towards peace with the house of Austria ; ; they are constantly in expeftation of this peace, and it will probably be made in the : course of this ipring or the following sum mer. " In one of my letters I wrote that they ' had no idea of fending an army to America, ) and I formed my opinion from the state of . their marine, and the impoffilnlity they were ! under of restoring it for a long time. But - various circumlfances now lead me to a dif ) ferent and with refpeft to the ma rine, they are preparing to turn their exer . tion towards it, as may be ccllefted clearly . from the pamphlet of Theremin, which I sent ; you a few days ago." [ FREDERICK-TOWN, (M.) July 5. . Extra 3 of a letter from a gentleman at Phila delphia, dated June 27, 1797* " No doubt remains of peace havingtaken ; 'place between France and Austria, and I . hope a peace between France and England ' will immediately follow, for we (hall never , get right until the event happens. " The Britlfh nation is in a situation that will produce important events if a speedy peace should not take place. The mutiny in their fleet must be very alarming, and I have no expeftation that discipline reftcred during, the war. Their finances are far from being in a good way; and I, for i some time, have entertained no doubt of t their enormious debt, sooner or later, bear ing them down. The continuance of the ; war would certainly haflen that event. In • deed a}l Europe mtift continue in an unfet -1 tied condition for some time after peace is , agreed on, and we shall certainly derive ad ) vantageous from it, in point of wealth, if we manage cur affairs with wisdom and pru dence enough to induce foreigners to fend their property here: however I am no advocate for foreigners being admitted to become citi- i zeris on the easy terms they have heretofore been indulged in. We' have already expe rienced great inconveniences from fuffering people of all natipnsbecoming citizensbefore they have resided long enough in the coun try to give them a warm affe£tion for its permanent intereits. From " The Rights of Man'"'. AQUERE! Whether Mr. Jefferfon did fay, since lie has taken his present position that " it was " the intention of Mr. Adams (the Prefi " dent) and his party, oh the call of Con " grefs, to declare war against France if " there had been arefpe&able majority"— or, whether he had indubitable authority for it, if he did fay so, is not fatisfaftorily as certained,—Report fays, two gentlemen of refpeftability in George-Town, lately aver red that Major F -told them he had received a letter from Mr. jefferfon since he went to Philadelphia, containing the above sentiments. Report also fays, however, that a third gentleman, equally refpeftable, declared, when he heard it mentioned in company, that the letter was (hewn, by Mr. F , in confidence, and that the above sentence was not in it; but that it was an improper let ter. As the solution of this question may be gratifying to the citizens at large, at the pre sent interesting erifis, the investigation is humbly submitted to Peter Porcupine, Mr. Bache, and other Critics. It is supposed that the names of the with in mentioned gentlemen might readily be had if necessary. CITIZEN. Frederick, (Anniversary of Independence) '97.
