NEW-YORK, Sept. 28
Yesterday the Chevalier D'Yrujo return
ed to this city from his tour to the East
ern States.
We are happy to learn that the Chevalier
W23 received with the utmost refpeft, and
treated with every politeness and hospitality
by all ranks ofpeople at Bofton,Portfmouth,
and at every town he visited. \_Argus.~\
A correspondent, who has just returned
from the country, was surprised to hear the
cliSmal ftorieß told and generally believed of
the dreadful ravages made by the Yellow Fe
ver in the city of New-York. He finds with
extreme pleafur'e that the city, owing to the
ftri&nefs of the police in keeping the streets
and yards clean, was never more healthy than
it is at present. It is sincerely to be wished,
that every person going into the country will
feclhimfelf under a sacred and ittflifpenfahle
obligation to invalidate the belief of the
country people with refpeft even to the ex
iltence of the Yellow Fever at all in this ci
ty ; in order to remove so powerful an objec
tion to their coning to towr; with' their pro
duce, ajid to thtir Supplying thcmfelves with
the itfual articles Mt this fi.ifos of the year.
—God knows bufnefsi of! every kind feels
| Sufficiently the deporable effects of real evils,
from the depredation of our dear allies, with
out cruelly inventing imaginary ones to fill
lip the measure of public mifcry.
A number of able writers appear, in
.the southern papers, to be advocating the
catife of our government. One of these un
der the signature of Americanus, who appears
in a Richmond paper, has very ably develo
ped the causes of the differences between
United States and France. He has entered
; fully into an examination of Mr. Jefferfon's
I conduft" which he considers as extremely
j injurous to our public interests. He ascribes
! the hostile affV'ft of the French government
towards tha United States, wholly to the in
fluence of a party, of which Mr. Tefferfon
is a leader—in this idea he is unquestionably
well founded. The arguments of the French
government, in support of their measures,
are evidently borrowed from the oppofers of
ovir government in America—Our own citi
zens, who assume the exclusive »t erit of be
ing '« patriots" and republicans" have fup
pliedthe French with the weapons by which
our government lYaffailed, our trade annoy
ed, and our country menaced with war.
The bold efforts of our citizens in the
southern states, to enlighten their country
men on their political interests, among which
we notice the writings ,of Americanus and
of Mr. Harper, as prominent instances, will
be followed by very salutary effe£ts. Thefs
efforts ought to have been made earlier, as
they were in the northern states. But late
as they are,' they will be ufeful in preparing
the public mind, either for peace or war.—
The two points to be aimed at in all our
political disquisitions, are, to promote Union
and a sentiment of Americanifm —a sentiment
that fpringa up in the heart a *'] is cherished
and matured by the underflanding—a senti
ment that loves public justice, and invites
the refpeft of all nations—hut disdains to re
ceive fetters from any; whether presented
by armed foldicrs, under royal authority;
or by fawning hypocritical vepublicans, un
der pretext of friendjhip and alliance.

FROM INDIA.
Extraft of a letter, dated Trapquehar, (Co
romandel coast,) April 31, 1797, receiv
ed here.
" The famous Modefte privateer is at last :
taken : the faft failing frignte Fox, caught ■
her, after a chafe of eight hours, when the
Modefte carried away her sore-top-mast, else
(he would have escaped. She had before
made a fuccefsful cruize against the English,
ifnd sent several of their valuable country (hips
to the Isle of France. Tt is reckoned that
this privateer alone has captured property j
from the English in their seas to the value
of above a million of dollars, and near as
much more from the Dutch, Portuguese
and Spaniards, at the firft of the war. But
all English India speaks much in praise of;
the conduft of the captain and officers
of the Privateer Modefte ; as upon all
/oecafions they restored private property,
trunks, clothes, &c. and set all her prison
ers ashore on their own coast. Their unex
ampled conduft to the ladies and gentlemen
of the Triton English Tndiamen, last year,
stands high in the lift of noble a&ions.
" The.English fleet of Indiamen, with a
convoy, failed two days ago from Madras,
, bouud home."
WASHINGTON (Penn.) Sept. 19.
Commissioners on the part of the_United
States are about holding a treaty with the
Six Nations, at Big Tree, on the Genefee
river. The objeft is to obtain a relinquifh
mcnt of the Indian title to land in the Maffa
chufetls preemption, the property of Robert
Morris and others.
Robert Odlin and Alexander Crawford,
apprehended at Lancaster in June last, for
pafiing counterfeit dollars, have received
sentence, one to fuffer twelve, the otherJix
teen years imprisonment to hard labor.
To the editor of the fVeflern Telegraphe.
S!R,
IN the latter part of the mnftth of July
I was in the Upper and Lower Sandufky,
where I saw the' following prisoners, viz.
In Lower Sandufky I saw a boy, about 16
years of age, of the name of Hampton North
np. He was taken out of the cornfields
above the mouth of Big Kenhaway, upon
the Ohio, and is now with the Wyndot na
tion :—The family he lives withf of th»
Hedge-Hog tribe, was about to move to a
Wyndot town, five miles above the Upper
Sandufky, where the said boy may be had
at any time. He can talk but little Eng
lish, and it was with much difficulty I got to
know his name and where he was taken.—
Should this boy have any friends, it is my
advice to them to go after him as soon as
poflible, for should he' flay there a few years
it will be impoflible to prevail on him to
leave the Indians.
At Upper Sandufky I saw a young man
of the name of Armflrong, who told me he
had been taken from near Pittsburgh, and,
as well as I can recolleft, he tol4 me he had
been with the Indians five years ; he speaks
very gftod English. "After considerable con
siderable conversation with him, I told him
I would try to find out his people and let
them know he was alive ; at this he appeared
1 not to be well pleased ; I asked him feverul
questions afterwards, but he would talk no"-
" thing but Indian ; when I came away, I ask
• ed him if he had any word to fend to his
people ; he answered no, in a very surly man
ner.
It grieved me to fee him so much of a
savage ; he is a handsome young man and
, of a beautiful countenance, about 5 feet 8
inches high, and remarkably aftive.

.PITTSBURGH,
A ftw days ago, a white mart by the
name of Cierfc, \vas killed by an Indian
on Beaver Creek. The circumstances, as
far as we can colleft, are —That he was
going into the country with two Indians
who were drunk, and it is supposed a quar
rel mud have taken place, as Clerk was
found dead under a tree with a knife (lick
ing in his fide, known to belong f 0 one of
the Indians. The Indians havs been taken
and are now confined in the gaol of this
town.
Extradl of a 'etter received by the com

the comm?ndant at Prefqu'ifle, dated I
the 18th in 11. j
" Lafl evening ensign Callender arrived
here with difpatclies fiom the commander
in chief. It appears that the inhabitants
at the "Natchez are in open rebellion, and j
have displayed the French colours—a de--

way to that quarter. A small plundering
party of Indians have endeavoured to make
themselves matters of fort Recovery ; they
were drove out of the fort with the loss of
one Indian killed and one wounded."
