It is a strong proof of the salubrity of the air of this town, and the a&radtions of its inhabitants, that the southern gentlemen in the r,northern visits, give it the preference. Tfce.town is now thronged with ftranger3 of refpe&ability ; and a remarkable degree of' health .prevails. On Saturday, a weli-drefied fwindler,was fcen eying very curiously the pockets of the gentlemen on the Exchanger—and not giv ing faticfaftory answers to proper inquiries, he was obliged to make a speedy retreat to avoid hustling.

A Bermuda paper of the 12th August, contains the following paragraph ! Thursday a brig drifted up to the land from the ea ft ward of these i (lands bottom Up. From ier being scuttled in the bot tom, we imagine she miift have been fell in with at sea by some veflel. She is brought into harbour by the boats, and has on her item, " Atlantic of Bolton ;" (he is laden with lumber and spars, and appears to be a new veflel, built of birch and maple. Whether the grew were saved or not it is impossible for us to tell. New York, September gth. ARRIVED.

The captain of the privateer, Garrifcan, altho' a Frenchmaa bom, is a naturalized citizen of the United States and has a family and property in the United States. Capt.

BALTIMORE, September 7. This morning, precisely at 9 o'clock, at the navy yard of Major Stodder, the build er, was launched, the United States frigate Constellation. The novelty of the scene, she being the firft frigate ever built at this port, drew forth an immense concoui% of citizens, of both sexes, and of all ages,, and notwithstanding the carlinefs of the hour appointed for the launch, the number, we are warranted in faying, was never e qualled on any oecafion in this city. The furface of the Patapfco was covered with in numerable boats, and the adjacent hills, east of Harris's creek, swarmed with infpe£tors; and so admirable, too, were the situations around, that every one had the pleasure of gratifying his euriofity, without risking the least accident. A number of volunteers, in uniform, were admitted on board, while others were set to guard the yard and permit no one to enter, ; unl«fs engaged in the business of the day.— The workmen, amounting to 200, being thus kept iinobftiA ted, carried on their work with such regularity and dispatch, ss reflected the greatest credit both on themr selves and their able conduitor. Every or der was commiiflicated by a taffle from the drum, and the operations of the men in wedging ug the veflel, &c. were apparently performed with as much and preci sion, as the manual etfercife by a regiment of veterans. The anxious moment noiv ar rived—and now description is beggared. Every thing being In the molt complete preparations, all the bloeks taken away, e very man from under the veflel, and the hull standing upon almost nothing but the'flip perry tallow, orders were given for knocking atfay the last ftaunchion: this being done, j file moved gracefully and majestically down I her ways, amidst the silent amazement of 1 thousands of fpeftators, to her destined ele- ■ merit, into which she plunged with such ease and fafety, as to make the hills resound with j reiterated bursts of joyful acclamations. Her plunge into the water was attended 1 with so little velocity, that she came to an chor within ICIO yards of the shore,'' and we can pronounce, from the authority of able and experienced judges, that no vessel was ever taken from the Itocks in a more fafe and • judicious manner than the Constellation, and I that no man, on a similar oceafion, ever ac quitted himfelf with more honour and abili ty than did Major Benjamin Stodder.
