Thy number of American veilcls which have

American -veflels f-nt in there in one day by one

A boat of about *5 tons burthen, with lateen
fails, arrived at Barracoa in days paflaee from
Cadiz, which (he left on the Jd of August. She
brought dispatches for both the governors of Ha
vanna and La Vera Cruz, which were forwarded
to them over land.
Gr»at secrecy was observed, and very little in
telligence had transpired; it was supposed that it
was not of a very agrecab!? nature at any rate, as
all the money that eould be colle&ad at both plac
es, was ordered to be immediately sent to Spain ;
likeWise ail the uncoined prepared ote and in cafe
there OwuW not be a fufficiency of money and ore,
to fend even the images from the churches.
From the above information, and at the time of
thi« dispatch boat having left Cadiz,it is not unlike
ly, that thefenrgent demands aretofatisfy Earl St.
VincentV contributions upon Cadiz.
The ■ sloop Difeovery, Parry, from Jamaica for
this port, is carried into the Havanna.
It is computed, that the duties to be paid into
the cuflom house of this port, from the cargoes of
the four ihips lately arrived fron London, will ex
ceed ioo,obo dollars. /

TO THE PUBLIC.
The following is the Copy of a paper, read
by a gentleman at my request, and in my
presence, to Dr. B. Rush, on Saturday
the2iftinft.
" Dr. Currie informs Dr. Rufli, that he
is the author of the account of Dr. Ruth's
conduft and practice, publifhcd in the Ga
zette of the United States, the 6th inft. and
can produce refpeftable teftitnony in support
of the truth of the fads contained in that
publication.
" If Dr. Ruth is deiirousof knowing why
Dr. Currie published those fads, heanfwer6
because, he believes they will determine the
question, whether Dr. Rulh is entitled or
not, to the credit of the important difcove
rie3 in the healing art, to which he is
to lay claitp, and which are ascribed to him
by his zealous friands ; and also to bring to
an issue the question, so interesting to the
community, relative to the tnoft fuccefsful
tpetbod of treating the malignant fever
which has infeftedandoccafioned such deplo
rable mortality in different sea-port towns of
America, since the year 1793-
" If, however, Dr. Ruth (who profef
fes to make tnjth thf>guide of all his actions
and the leadingobjeft of all his rtfearches,)
(hall make it appear that Dr. Currie has mis
stated or miiYeprefented any fad or circum
stance in that publication, he fliall think
himfelf bound by the inviolable regard be
has for truth, to make apublicacknowledge
ment of his error, and to make every repa
ration confident with justice : For Dr. Cur
rie entertans the old fathioued opinion, that
nothing is more honourable than the inge
nuous confeflion of an error, except never
committing one. Dr. Rulh will doubqfcfs
agree with Dr. Currie, th§t the truth ora
ny ocurrence, can be determined only
by the testimony of refpe&able charafters,
and can neither be eftablithed nor inva
lidated by the event of a Duel, much less
by the weapon of a Ruffian or a Bravo.
On the contrary the man who has recourse
to either of those methods to defend his
char after, or to juftify his conduct, affords
to every refle&ing mind the strongest argu
ment that he is deficient in common sense,
or that his cause is unsound, and will not
bear a fair and rational difcullion. Instead,
therefore, of being considered as a of
courage, a challenge ought to be considered
as a proof of guilt, and the challenger brand
ed with infamy.
" Dr. Curdle withes to avoid a personal
contest, but if assaulted, he will not. be an
swerable for the eo'nfequences.
" No notice will be taken of any thing
that comes frqm the pen of any person but
Dr. Ruth himfelf on the present occasion."
Written t)£lober 20th, and read to Dr.
Rush the 21 ft.
Since the above contents were commu
nicate to Dr. Rush, I have received an a
busive and insulting communication from his
for. John, but as I believe him to be either a
lunatic or a ruffian, I tTtould think it a re
flection upon my understanding to take a.fly<
notice of any thing he can possibly fay.
The impertinent little coxcomb also that

LIBERTY. EQUALITY.
Hague, the id Tbermr.hr sth year
[Z3tb Jvty 1797] :f Je French
republic, ove *nd jrulintiftEle.
The minister plenipotentiary of ttie French
republic near the Batavian republic, to the
Batavian natiolial assembly.
CITIZENS REPRESENTATIVES,
It is at the moment in which the Batavian
people are about to assemble to exercise the
mofc effr.ntial right of a free nation, that of
giving to themselves a conflitution, which
(Ball replace ithern in the rajik of the Euro
pean powers, that the tindei figaed fulfils the
niofl; pleafmg duty, iu addrefl\ng to you, in
the name of his government, its sincere feli
citations upon this aufpieious epocha, and
upon the wisdom which produced it.
In this circumstance, decisive as to the
fate of the Batavians, the executive directory
of the French republic, who have incessant
ly kept an eye 011 the important labors which
you have so ; happily terminated, doubtless'
feel their most lively interest redoubled, and
Conceive that they (hould seize the oppor
tunity of manifefting to the whole nation the
sentiments of a faithlul ally, by the public
txpreffion of their vows for her, —of their
hope and benevolence.
It is not fufficient for them to have sus
tained, with a constant folicitnde, the inter
ests of the Batavian people, in that fucctffion
of negotiationsbrought about by the wisdom
of their councils as wrelj as the eclat of the
arms of France ; to have acquired for them
new alliances as ufefutas impo/ing, and there
by to have aftbeiated them to the grand des
tinies of the French people : They do not
dissemble that fa many advantages would be
iilufory and trifling, without the invaluable
benefits of a wife and a stable
government, whidh are the firft wanta of
people.
But if the dire&ory has been penetrated
with sincere joy on learning that this con
stitution, lo long expected, wars on the point
of being presented to the Batavian nation,
how much is that fatisfa&ion heightened,
when, by considering the whole of your
constitutional labors, tbey conceive the* fee
preserved therein, .;not only the true and
grand principles which preserve individual,
political and civil liberty ; but also those of
wife Philosophy, enlightened by sxperience;
when they find therein, instead of that bad
ly combined mixture of partial sovereign
ties, with clashing interests .incessantly in
creasing, a unity which is the life of the
political body, the concentration of the
sovereignty of the national representation,
the exaft demarcation of powers, the fre
quent renewal and gradual advancement of
the public functionaries, in a word, the peri
odical return of primary assemblies, which
continually bring autliority back to its pri
mitive source, and to the happy situation of
legally benefitting, f<ps the amelioration of
social order, from the errors even of the wife,
and the result of observation.
However the Freiloh government" is far
from pretending to attribute to the grand
work, which has just' come from your hands,
the merit of perfe<Sion,"'lcAvffi'g nothing to
be wished for, and uniting all fuffrages. It
knows that everf human prddudVion is he
ceflarily imperfifft. But it conceives that
here at least the imperfeftions are trifling
and easy to be remedied } as fuccefiive legi
flaturas may, in calmer moments, corred
abuses which occur, contrary to the princi
ples and happiness of the people ; as one
of the greatest civic virtues is to facrifice
felf-love and felfilh ideas to the common in
terest and general opinion ; and as, in a
wotd, for the very honor of the Batavian
nation, it thought proper to to this
code, long meditated, and folemnly as
freely discussed by its national assembly, a
privilege which is never refufed to the im
portant produ&ions of human Industry,
that of having no other judges than time
and experience.
Batavians ! happy Batavians ! No fuc
ceft, no violence has hith'crto sullied your
honorable revolutiou. Civil difcerds have
not armed your innocent hands, and the
good sense of the nation, warned by dread
ful example, has pfeferved it from those fa
tal strokes, by which thi foundations ef
the greatest empireS-fiavd be£u fllaken. It
depends upon you toaffureifflyourfelvesthe
glory of the most fortunate exception. It
depends upon you to give to the two worlds
in which "your industry and your conquests
ltave accomplished things worthy of remem
brance, and which contemplate with interest
your regenerating efforts, the only example
of a people, paffir.g, without tumult, from
opprefiion to liberty, and tranquilly renew-'
ing, and without convulsions, their-politi
cal existence.
This glory is too pure and too affecting,
this happiness is too rare and too great, for
yon not t6 fear exposing both to the uncer
tainty of events. No, you will not fee
without ala'rtn all the dangers to which civil
diffentions, to which the poftpariement of
the constitution, would infallibly lead. You
will refleft in your wisdom, that if energy
causes revolutions, reason alone reaps the
fruit of them ; that between the diffoluti
onof the social body and despotism, which
is reanimated by anarchy, there is only the
constitution, and one moment granted for
obtaining it ; that the ntimberlefs inconve
niences from great delay would strike at the
mother country and its colonies, in their
■political connections, ill tfteit commercial
relations, in* their interior administration ;
and the evils forefecn dill do not perhaps
equal thole which it is impossible todifcern.
In a word, a motive of .another kind,
and which doubtless has not escaped the
penetration of you, legifl3tors, is, that a
cenftituted goverrment is the surest pledge
which states can reciprocally offi&r for the
execution of treaties ; and that in this re
fpeft things could not bt equal between the
two powers, as long as the destiny of the
Batavian people should remain liable to the
uncertain course ot political difctifiions, aud
( to the ilormy chacce of contrary opinions.'
From all these important considerations,
the Executive Dire dory wifli to persuade
themfelvcsrtljjit that reftitude of judgment
which eminently diflinguifhes the Batavian
people, will not permit-them to be diverted
-from their^p/interefts ; and that they will
not fail to accept favourably a social ocm
paft which pronjifes them such great advan
tages, which annihilates all diftinftion and
every hope of party, which renders to them
political rank -andconlalidates their exiltence,
the zeal to their tranquility, and
re-opens a field to their indnftiy ; and he
pleases beforehand, in the agree
i able profpeft which the acceptance of* the
project of a constitution offers to them, which
lias their fuffrage and all their views—the
i return of the ancient Batavian glory, of that
national cnthufiafmof which we have just
seen such honorable proofs, of a considerati
on which your political importance, your
past ftrcceffes and the happiness of your geo
graphical position, have rendered familiar
to you ; and which (houid make you feel
the necessity and progress of a prosperity,
equally intercfting to both republics.
Health and Fraternity,

By this day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, October 23.
The attention and willingness of eheEn
glifh in affording proteftian to our floating
property, cannot be spoken of in too strong
terms of praise. " American veffeli, may,
at all times, have convoy, on application to
Admiral St. Vincent, off Cadiz." Of this
we are assured, by Capt. Rich, arrived at
Boston, in 40. days from Lilbon. This at
l tention seems to be general: for, by the re
quest of Captain Sinclair, of the fliip Pigou,
of this port, in cofljunftion with Captain
Da»idfott, of the {hip Eagle, of Glasgow,
bound to Jamaica, Admiral KingfmUl, com
mander of the squadron on the Irilh ftfttion
granted them two frigates, the Diana, capt'.
Faulkner, and the Cerberus, Captain Drew,
which convoyed them as far as the laos
long. 21, where the.y parted in a
tremendous gale, which prevented a farther
convoy from these fhipfc. The gentlemanly
conduft of the officers of the above vessels, •
have done themselves great honor, and left
the most favourable impreflimi on the mind
of Captain Sinclair, at well as a sense of ex
treme gratitude for the probable falyation
of a' valuable ship and cargo. ,
By the schooner William and Henry,
Capt. Butler, from Antigua, we are infor
med that the Lapwing and Thames frigates,
had taken and carried into the Iflandin the
month Sept. last, TWENTY FIVE fail of
FRENCH privateers, from fix to twenty
guns, and that one of the frigates brought
in, on one day, three of them, a ship of 20
guns, a schooner of 16, andafloopofi2—
at firft she took the schooner, manned her,
sent her in pursuit of the sloop, and went in
chafe of the ship.
No Colours had been hoisted at Mount's
Hill, as a signal of a French privateer, for
THREE weeks.
Captain L'vingfton, of the sloop Rachael,
in 14 days from Port-de-Paix, informs that
commodore Barney had arrived there, hav
ing been chafed in by a Bricifh 64, aild a
frigate.
The Belviderc, captain Ingraham, from
London, arrived here on Saturday, A Lon
don paper of the icjth of Augqft, two days
later than before received, contains nothing
important. Lord Malmefbury was (till at
Lisle.
Tfie Draper, capt. Coilins, is said to
have been taken by a French privateer, and
retaken by a British frigate fix days after her
capture by the former. This, one of the.
hands on board the Belvidere declares he
heard from the brig Palla6 from Dublin to
New York, which vessel they spoke on the
L2th inft. in the lat. ,pf 42. The Pallas- is
hourly "ejjpefte'd, until which arrival, we
must remain iu the dark refpe&ing the Dra- •
per.
Captain Ingraham underftogd in England
that our Commissioners had arrived in Hol
land.
The following gentleman came passen
gers in the Belvidere; Mr. James Fvan, of
Troy; Mr. and Ms. Harden; Mr. and
Mrs. Bradftreet,.-. of England; Mr. R. Ar

THE Mayor and Aldermen, adjusted by a jifft
fdhfe*of the duty they owe their fellow citizei»,
have the TatisfaSion to announce, to the public,
upon the ftrifteft enqpiry of the phyticisns, they
are enabled to declare, that the maligHuet fymjoms
attending th? saver which lately afili&ed the tows,
have subsided—that whatever numbers of ficlc may
remain, the mortal,ty 1a» ceaftd, so that 110
more deaths talte place than is usual at. this season
of the year—tliat no necessity now exilb for res
training the intercourse, and no danger can result
from a free ingress and egress to and from the
town. And ona f#bjeit so highly interefling ta'he
community, they think it incumbent on them to
add, that the late fever was in a great measure lo
cal, and confined mostly to that part of the town
which is built on made land, the houses occupied
hy people »f discordant habits and different coun
tries, for the most. part much crowded, and little
regard paid to pTf|nal or hofifhold cleanlinjfs—
The natives am! o hci s (old inhabitants) rcfiding in
