Last night abc\it 11 o'clock, a young man returning home, was accosted near Lif penard's grounds by a man who ordered him to at the fame time presenting a pistol : he ftized the robber by the fhoui der, who immediately fired : fortunately the pistol glanced aflde ; but his coal, waistcoat and shirt, were much burnt by the powder. On feeing he did not fall, the robber whitt led, as a signal for his companions, when the young man, apprehetifive of other attacks,% thought it prudent to make his escape. From several late instances it ii evident that a gang of thieves is lurking about thi'3 city, and acting in a tnanner that deserves something more than ordinary vigilance to de test and trace them to their source. 0 COMMUNICATION. The valuable American East India ship, mentioned in a Hamburgh article yesterday, was taken by a privateer belonging to the celebrated Felix Coffin of Nantes. He has agents in this city and other parts of the union, to colleft intelligence and give infor mation of the molt plausible pretexts for seizing American vefTels. September 4. The following we believe to be the au thentic particulars relative to the barbarous treatment received by the fhip'Fame, of Phi ladelphia, from a French privateer. Yesterday arrived at the place, the ship belonging to MefTrs. Oditr, Bosquet and brothers, Capt. Robert Wil few, who failed from the Capes of the Dele ware on the 27th ult. bound for Havre de Grace, with several French ladies and gentle men pafTengers. Capt. informs us that on the 29th, inlat. 38, 30, Sandy Hook beinpr distant about 60 leagues, he saw two brigs, one of which gave him chafe ; at 11 A. M. finding he could not escape her, he shortened fail—at half past 11, the brig be ing within eannon shot, and having no co lour hoisted, fired a shot which wounded Madame Fatan, a lady pafTenger, very fe ver<*ly, by carrying away half her bread, and bfoke her arm in two places : They then boarded the ship, and commenced to ransack her in every quarter ; finding part of an English flag on board, they laid hold of two • French negro boys, and threatened to hang them if they would not di£clv£«.fome parti, culars refpetting the ships papers —the elder boy gave them 110 fatisfa£lion,but the young er being intimidated, said that the had hid his papers. They then commenc ed a second search and finding nothing to induce a further detention, after stealing from the captain a pair of gold knee buckles, they fuffered him to proceed on his voyage at 7 o'clock P. M. Capt. Wilson through motives of humanity to save the life of hi 3 pafTenger, landed her, with her husband in this city'on Friday, in the afternoon ; and we are happy to understand, by surgical aid, there is a probability of saving her life. When they firft came on board Captain Wilson, they called th.e brig Eagle, and said she was commanded by capt. Marrew, but when capt. Wilson asked them for a certifi cate to shew that he had been boarded by them, they said her name was the Camite, Capt. Marret. She mounts 14 guns and is full of men. Capt. W. has noted a pr®teft against the above proceeding, before Teunis Wortman, Esq. Notary public,,of this city. BOSTON, Aug 31. Extra# of a letter from a very refpeilable mer cantile house in London, to a gentleman in this town, dated sth July. " We think it right to remark, for your infor mation, that the late accounts from your fide, of your eoaft baine much infelled by French priva teers, and of several American vessels having been •captured by tKem, that insurance has risen to ic guineas per cent, and we fear it is not likely to be lower the present season, unless the negotiations, now going on at Lisle, Ihould end in an immedi ate pea<e (which does not here seem to be much ex iiefled :)i n which cafe insurance will soon fall to the o!d premium.—The critical situation of affairs, in this refpea, and the general apprehensions en tertained here, that a nipture between your Coun try and France, is inevitable, will materially cur tail the (hipments generally to America the present leafDn." > .

LANSINGBURGH, August 29. INDIAN TREATY. A Treaty with the Six Nations is a bout being held at Big-Tree, 011 the Gene fee-river, in the county of Ontario.—Gen. Shepatd, of Hampfaire, ' Massachusetts, Col. Wadfwortb, of Hartfoid Cbnnefticut, sad Mr Bayard of New-York, have been ap pointed-by the Supreme Executive, Com roiffis-erson the part of the United States to hold this Trsnty. —-Tfie pri'nci'p ' objcift to be obtaiivd, is a relinqtiifiimcht of the Indian title to the lands in the M'-nutehu fetts pre-emption, owneH Ijy Robert Mor ris Esq. and others. The Co'rtimiffioners met in Albany last week, from whencj they have proceeded on to the place of Holding the Treaty. 'Tis expetxed the Indians will be aflembled by the time the Commiffipnert arrive at Big-Tree, messengers having been dispatched iflfo theii; country for this pur pose. ' - , n The citizens of Lanfingburgh have it in contemplation to attempt removing theob ftrudtions in the navigation between this vil lage and Troy. Several patriotic gentlemen have offered to lubferibe large sums towards an undertaking of this nature. BALTIMORE, September j. All the various enormities of the old world during its late convulsions, have been more or less felt in the new. The revolutionizing phrenzy, the prostration of all'law and or der, and the total disregard of everything human and divine, which had feizedthe one, have also infefted the other. Robberies,N murders and aflaffinations, art now becoming the order of the day, towards the close of a desolating war in Europe ; and the greatest vigilance of our officers will be required to check the infernal mania in our'own coun try. Pick-pocketing, countevfeiting, high way robbery and murdering are geting so l ( frequent, that scarcely a mail arrives -which | does not relate some recent horrid instance. j Let those whose business leads them to tra vel from home go well prov ded ; and let the officers of jnftice exert themselves in ap- ' prehending andbringing to punifhmcnt those faring offenders. Nothing else have we to hope from,, in the present Ante of society, to cr*fti such dangerous practices. A tnojl daring Rqbbkkt ! ! ! A gentleman on his return home from Philadelphia, was yesterday flopped on the road between this city and Ellicott's Mills, ! in broad day, by a foot-pad, who seized his horse's bridle, and presenting a pistol to his breast, Ordered him to deiifer. The gentleman put his bancl into his pocket, but finding the fellow off his guard, gave him such a blow with a loaded whip, as to dag ger him very much : He then drew a pistol froth his holders, which he was fortunately 'provided with, and shot the villain through the arm—this brought him to the ground ; but he was molt unluckily prevented dif patch'ing him on the spot, as his horse, af frighted at the flifh, and report of the pis tol, ran off near half a mile before he could take him up. When he returned to the scene of a£lion, which he did as soon as pos sible, he found one of the comrades of the robber dragging him out of the roa<j with on<hand, and holding the pistol other. Not knowing how numerous the gang might be, he thought it unfafe to hazard another rencontre, and proceeded on to the mills, where he related the affair. We are sorry no measures were taken to pursue those dan gerous and daring disturbers of our high ways : if there had been, we should proba bly now have the pleasure of announcing their committal to prison. The wound which one of them received, we hope wiH lead to a discovery. They were both dres sed in gingham coats, and their appearance was tolerably genteel. NORFOLK, August 28. —— v is Capt. Canby, of the schooner Antonio Wallace, arrived on Saturday from Charles ton. We learn, that the yellow fever rages in that eity, and that they avarage 12 deaths daily. [Charleston papers to Aug. 22d, contain nothing to this effeft.] EDENTON, August 24. By a letter from Raleigh to a gentleman in Halifax, we are informed that governor Blount was lately in that place, and remained there about 2 days; that he had taken his departure privately, and it was not known which way he had bent his courfe.—«We are told that he said the objeft of his intended plan was the conquest and plunder ef the Floridas—that Mr. Lifton nor the British government never .countenanced the scheme —that as it was a matter of as much im portance to them as it was to him, they would hereafter regret their backwardness 1 —that fearful of meeting the wrath of our government, at the present moment of po pular clamour and indignation, he had de termined to leave the continent. 80 Dollars Re-warct.

There appears to be a difference bet ween the reports of Dr. Currie and several other phy sicians, and Messrs. Girard and LoWnes, • respecting the exiftene'e of cases of yellow fever in Southward. This difference may be easily accounted for. MessrS. Girard and Lownes have baen accu'ftomed to fee the 1 yellow fever, in the year at Bulh-hill only, where, fr*"n the mdde-of treating it, the disease put on its mod malignant and terrible fuch as obllinate vomit ing, coldness and yellowness of the (kin, ! languid pulfe,'purple spots and black vomit ing.—By the mode of treating the disease, now used by Dr. Currie, and all the phyfl cian9 in Southwark, viz. plentiful bleediDg and purging, all those terrible And malig nant symptoms are prevented, and the dis ease in a few days is made to put on the form of a common mild fall fever. The decep tion here is natural, and should be pardoned in men who are not acquainted with diseases, or the effects of certain medicines upon the human body. When a man possesses an eager anxiety to establish any point, he will often times' substitute his withes for fa&s, and milled by the vagaries of his own heated brain, will pursue the ignis fatuus of his own cre ating, till it leads him into errors, contra dictions and absurdities. Thus has it been with citizen Bache : In his labours to shed an obloquy over the administration for concluding the treaty with Great Britain, the great advantages daily accruing from which grieve our fo reign and domestic enemies to their inmost fouls, this patriotic typographer has revers ed the old law of nations, and brought for ward several new codes, (as absurd as any fiftion of his (hallow brain must ever be) which be would impose on us as a substitute for the worm-eaten volumes of antiquity ; he has brought forward treaties concluded under circumstances wholly oppolite to ours, and totally irrelevant to onrown cafe, as examples to (hew that our treaty was not so favourable as it might have been : but in a recent instance which he has resorted to, he has made a rr.iferable figute indeed. After giving us an extrafl front the last treaty between England and Russia, which I will suppose to be just and true, he infers from a principle there laid down, that a shade is cast over the American chara&er by her having ceded to Great Britain a right which Russia reserves—although that principle is identically the fame with that on which Great Britain grounds her prac tice towards us. The article expressly cedes to her the right> for which (he has uniformly contended, of availing herfelf of the services of her Own fubjetts, Kfchere ever found. Yet this imaginary difference is made the ground of a reiterated denun ciation of the whole government, by this insolent calumniator. In looking for" (hades on the American character,** I find none deeper than the difgraceful career oi the editor of the Aurora. y But if there aftually existed thedifference which this factious mifreprefenter- insinu ates, it would in truth be no stigma upon us that Russia had extorted what we failed in obtaining. The difference in the two eases is obvious. It is of little moment that Britain guarantees to us by no express ftip'ulation, the security of our own citi zens—The very existence of such a fact would be a reploach to our national dig nity. It is enough for us that Che does not •attempt to invade those rights. The fadtibn reiterate {heir clamours about three or four instances of impressment of natives, as long and as often as they pieafe, ft ill the assertion may be boldly proclaimed, that no nation 'can ever more'fyftematically re fpe£t the rights and privileges of another, than Great Britain does tlfofe of America at this day. , But it is needless to offer to men of sense, any notices of the groundless calumnies with which the Jacobin prints abound. Their lies are not designed to meet the eyes of citizens of this class. No, they -havc their cue ; , ind employ' them whei'e more sure and certain effeft. Whether those whose minds can be moved with a profpeft of danger from the effeft ef the malignant (landers, feattered by the industry of the Jacobins, their authors, thro' all quarters of the country, will ever turii their atten tion to adequate antidotes, ere it be too ' late, seems at j?refent doubtful. Cures are generally preferred to preventatives. , A meeting,'tis said has been called in Virginia, for the purpose of recommending amendments to the State [Should salutary alterations take place, it may-be hoped they will have some influence in restoring to political founduefs of mind a majority of the Congreffwnal Members j from Virginia, and operate to diftand that phalanx of faftion which has so long dis graced the ancient dominion—a phalanx, one J of whose file-leaders [Giles,) his declared that he has no confidence in the Govern- 1 ment—while at the fame time himfelf and followers have been pursuing a conduct that ] has rendered them unworthy the cortSdencs and tjrufl of all who'do not wish to fee their ] country fubje&ed to a " fraternal hug," which may place theirrights and privileges under foreign controul j Extvadl of a letter froTn the Havannah, da ted th> 14th ult.
