APPOINTMENT—By Authority.
WitLiAM Macpherson, Esq. to be a
Brigadier General in the Army of the Unit
ed States.
Last evening died, after a (hort ill net's-, in
the 52d year of his age, Mr. Mordkcai
Lewis of this city, merchant—A gentle
man, who possessed the highest mercantile a
bilitiej, the ft rich'lt honor, the utmoil punftu
aiity, in. all his dealings,' and who, for ma
ny years conduced an extensiVe and lucra
tive trade, to many parts of the world, with
found judgment and ufiiullied probity—
In hisdecsafe many have to lament the remo
val of a fr'rn l, on whose opinions and can
dor, they Could feturely repose.—And many,
u ',lO under the prefTure of penury and wretch
ednef-i, were sure to receive, from his bene
volent spirit, the moil generous afliftance.
Otium Dims.
The great Philosopher of America, has
lately burnt an imitation of this beautiful
Carmen, which he had nearly completed, and
having resolved on continuing to take an ac
tive part in public affairs, is at this moment
engaged in framing a new Constitution for
us, after the model of the Vrench Pentarchy,
which is to be brought on the taps as soon
ts he fucceedi to the Presidency..
A certain other chief (Pouquier Ttnville)
is to furnifh a republican code of laws,
to be an appendage to this emanation of
the new light of philosophy, as soon as he
has finifherl a Hymnus ad Baccbum now in
hand, which he, with great propriety, be
gins in the words of Horace,
" Quo me, Bacche, rapis tui plenum ?"
A custom of pernicious, tendency prevails
in America, in regard to marriages—it is
that of Justices performing the ceremony.
The objections to this custom are as obvious
as they are numerous : and yet no one has
ever attempted to reform it.
A waggon-load of Democratic M M. C.
htely overset,—one arm was broke, and.one
leg. Federal members would have been kil
led, but instruments of evil are seldom
tjirdwn by, while there is any use for
them.
It is a little curious that no Lawyer could
fc« found to perform the simple task of pub
lishing the law reports ; and that the field
must be left to a motlied Harlequino, whose
whole life has been a constant satire upon all
Jaw.
lii one point o£ view, at least, there is a
jitness'xn the fecrmry's becoming law report

be recorded by Collot d'Herbois.
Mr. Dallas once wrote a prologue in vcrfe
and blank verse ; but so barren is the public
tnjle for literary and fcientific productions,
that we do nst remember that it either made
or met an impression.
)It is much to be lamented, that those two
admirable satires, the Baviad and Mceviad,
and the Futfuits of Literature, have not yet
found an edition in tlii« country : They have
ilrrady passed through many in England, and

an rverlafting bar to be oppol'ed to the intro

T/iuxro.v, to the Sirci ctary of the JS'avy,
dated on board the United States ship Con
stellation, in sight of the inland of St.
Christophers, Feb. ic, >799*
Dear Sih,
I WROTE you the 4th inft. to which
I mud beg leave to refer, aud loon after
weighed from Bafleterre road, St. Chmfto
phers, and procetded to fca, having made
the necefTary arrangements with the mer
chant and mailers of * or a convoy,
to fail this dav for the United States, under
charge of the Norfolk and Richmond, which
veflels I direfted to cruize, in the mean
time, near St. Bartholomews and St. Mar
tins, so as to be at hand to proceed with the
convoy at the time appointed. As soon as
I left the road of Bafleterre (which I did
with the Constellation solus) I stretched Un
der Montferat and towards Guadeloupe by
the wind, and from thence under the lee of
Antigua and Bermuda. In this route I on
ly met two merchant veflels, and a British
frigate. I therefore thought it best to
change my ground, which 1 did, and run
down towards the island of Nevis, and on
the 9th instant at noon, that island bearing
W. S. W. five leagues diflance, dil'covered
a large fliip to southward, on which I bore
down. She hoisted American colours, aud I
made our private signals for the day, as well
aa that of the British, but finding (he answer
ed neither, I immediately fufpetted her to
be an enemy, and in a (hort time after found
that my fuipicions were well founded, for
she hoisted the French national colours, and
fired a gun tq windward (which is a signal
of an enemy). I continued bearing down
on her, and a quarter past 3 P. M. she hailed
me several times ; and as soon as I got in a
position for every fliot to do execution, I
answered by commercing a close and fuc
ceftful engagement, which laP.ed until about
hals-past 4 P. M. when flit ftiuck her co
lours to the United States fliip Gonftella
tion, and I immediately took pofleifion of
her.
0-0 ditto.
46 ditto
She proved to be the celebrated French
frigate Infurgente, of 40 guns and 407 men,
lately out from Fiance, commanded by 111011-
fieur Beureaut, and is efteenied one of the
fafteft failing fliips in the French navy. I
have been much fluttered in my rigging and
fails, and my foretopmaft rendered, from
wounds, useless ; you may depend the ene
my is not less so.
I intend to get into BafTaterre road, St.
Christophers, if poffibte, with my prize ;
but the wind being adverse and blowing hard,
I much doubt, in the crippled state of both
Ihips, whether I Ihall effedt it, and if not,
I n>uft make a port to leeward. The high
state of our discipline, with the gallant con
duft o.fmy : officers and men, would haveeu
abled me to have compelled a more formida
ble enemy to have yielded, had the fortune
of war thrown one in my way as it is, I
hope the President and my country will, for
the present, be content with a very fine fri
gate being added to our infant navy, and
that too with the loss of only one man killed,
and two wounded, while the enemy had (the
French surgeon reports) 5a or 53 killed and
wounded. Several were found dead in the
tops, &c. and thrown overboard 18 hours
after we had poflefiion. I must not omit,
in this hasty detail, to do justice to monsieur
Bureaut, for he defended his fliip manfully,
and from ray raking him several times fore
and aft, and being athwart his stern ready
with evet-y gun to fire when he struck his
colours, vre may impute the conflift not be
ing more bloody on our fide, for had not
these advantages been taken, the engage
ment would not hav6 ended fofoon, for the
Infurgente was completely officered and
manned.

" On the !Jth, after the gre*teft exer
tions having been made, we gained these
roads with both ships, and anchored them
fafe jbout noon. It i* impoflible for me to
(late to you the joy dtmanftrated by the
inhabitant.! on this oocafinn; the ship was
filled with gentlemen of the firft dignities
in the island, a d a salute requested, in or
der that it might be returned, which was
complied with on my part, particularly as
it came from a member of the king's coun
cil, Mr. Tyfon. an old friend of mifte of
many year's ftarding.
I have just received a polite letter of con
gratulation from the commander in chief,
who offers me every service in his power; and
I have dirc&ed all the wounded from on
board the Infurgente to be immediately
landed, and sent to the hospital.
T he following it an accurate return made
me this morning by lieutenant Rogers,
commanding the prizes taken from the ex
amining officers, of the killed and wounded
on board the Infurgente, viz.
killed,
badly wounded,
wounded more slightly,
Total killed and wounded, 70
We had, as I wrote to you only one
man killed, and two badly wounded, one
of which is since dead, the other is a mid
(hipman, Mr. M'Donough, who loft his
foot; an ofdiniary seaman was afterwards
discovered to be (lightly wounded: this is
the whole number loft and injured on board
the Constellation. J
I fliall proceed to repair the damage* f u f.
tained to both (hips as speedily as possible.
and until the pleasure of the Prefideot of
the United Statee, s known, I intend to
give Lieut. John Rogers an order to com
mand the Infurgente. He was one of the
firft Lieutenants appointed, hai a claim to
being among the firft promotions, but a
wry strong one, for behaving well, and be
ing the firft lit utenant of the Constellation,
at tbe capture of the firft governmental (hip
of any confluence, ever made by the arms
of the United States at sea firce our bein?
known as a nation ; the other officers T (hall
appoint i* he f»jne way.
My gun deck is divid.d into three divi
the firft of five guns and oppofne
superintended by the firlt lieutenant. Mr.
Rogers. 'I he second of five gir s andoppofiie
by the second lieutenant, Mr. Cowper.
The third of four y lino, and oppoliie, by
the third lieutenant, Mr. Sterett. ihe zeal
of these three cfheera in pevf. rming their
duty, and complying (iriflly with my or
ders, cannot be surpassed, but I mult not,
in praise of thein, be filen.J at to the good
conduit of Mr. Sbirly, the matter, and Mr.
the 4th lieutenant, who afted heir
part near my person on the quarter deck,
and who arc also deserving of notice, but for
the honor of our nation, I mufl declare'
that is 'inpoffible for officers, and men in a
ny lervice to have behaved better than my
people did generally on this occasion ; 11
tnuft therefore not be understood, because I
have mentioned the names of a few «f the
principal gentlemen, that those of an inferi
or grade in their itations are less deserving j
on the contrary, to thclattre I always feel
myfelf most indebted for their exertions in
the hour of battle, as they have generally
much less at stake, than th»fe in higher fta
(ions, and corfequently less inducement to
display their valour."
The following is the account of the a£Uon
between the Constellation and Insurgcnte,
to which Captain Truxton refers, as
corredi, in his letter to Mr. Yellot.
From a St. Christopher's paper.
Basseterre, Feb,,* 5, 1799.
On Tuel'day lafl the frigate
Conftcllation, of 38 guns, commodore Trux
ton, brought in the French national frigate
l'lnlurjjente, of 40 guns, captain Bureaut,
which (he captured on the 9th instant, off
the south ("de of this island. The follow
ing are the particulars of the. atlion with
which wc were this day favored :
On the 9th inftaiit, at noon, a large (hip
was dikovered by tJ:e Constellation, itanding
to the westward, to which Ihe immediately
gave chafe ; and at firft the commodore lup
pofing her to be a BrLtilh (hip of war, oider
ed the jijfnalfor that day tq'be hoisted, which
not being anlwered, he then directed the sig
nal for an American (hip of war to be dis
played, which also was not noticed, but the
American enlign run up at the onsen peak of
the chafe.
As neither of the above fignak were an
wered, the commodore observed that he fJT
perted the chafe to be aitenemy ; and scarcely
liad he expressed his opinion, when the A
merican ensign was hauled down, the French
national flag hoisted, and a gun fired to
windward. A croud of canvas was then
spread on the Constellation, and every pre
paration made fora&ion ; —at half pail two
P. M. the main top-mad of the chafe went
by the cap ; the wreck was, however,*foon
cleared, and the (hip put before the wind ;
at a quarter part three, Nevis bearing W. S.
W. about fix leagues distant, the Constella
tion rauged up along fide of her, when the
captain hailed several times, but commodore
Truxton thought proper toanfwer him only
with his guns, and as fooa 'as they were
brought to bear, commenced the engagement
by' giving the firft broadside, Which was ih
ftantly returned by the Frenchman ; but In
the co.urfe of one hour and a quarter Ihe
ft ruck her colors, after being raked fore and
aft thrue times, with the loss of 70 of her
men killed and wounded, and very much
fhr.ttered ir. her hull, mails, rigging and fails.
She proves to be l'lnfqrgenu; French frigate,
of 40 guns, and 360 men, opoclufively of
officers, commanded by citizeivßureaut, and
is one of the (hips lately arrived at Guada
loupe from France*

" ON the Bth inft. at 6 P. M. law a

down; we made fail to cut them off from
the land, which we loon did, and in the course
of half an hour, beat the lhip aftem hull
down. The fleet proved to be the two cut

the ship America, with provisions for us,
andtfour other smaller vcflels, bound to the
Havanna. Whilst we were under easy fail,
waiting for them, the firft mentioned lhip
came up and fired fcveral (hot among the
fleet. I immediately hcifled my colours and
went along fide with all hands to quarters,
when the captain hailed me to kno* where I
was from—l answered, from a cruise, and
that my (hip wa.s the United States ship
Delaware, that the (loop and schooner upon
my larboard bow, were vessels belonging," to
the United States, and that the black, lhip
was a veflel loaded by the government with
(lores for the use of the (hips upon the sta
tion. He then iul'orraed pie that his orders
were to examine all vcflels for the Havauna,
for contraband goods, but that he meant to
give no trouble or detention* I told him
if I was of equal forte he Ihould not exa
mine one of then»—*l then pointed out the
(hip and the cutters. She proved to be the
Solebay, 44 guns, commanded by captain
Rowfon. While the lieutenant was over
hauling a sloop and schooner, hurt at feeing

and the reft of the fleet followed me, and he
did not think proper to detain one of them.'.

MR. Fknno,
ZEAL for the character of one man,
should not friake us attempt to destroy that
of another. Had Mr. M'Knight ul'ed a lit
tle more reflettioh, liiy name would not have
been brought into your paper, in the manner
it has been." He has seen the letter of the
31ft January from Havanna, from which
the extfaft pub lifted was takc.l ; it wac
written by a man incapable of a deliberate
falfhood. I lhall learn with pleasure that
his information was not well founded ; but
the certificate pnbliflied, however refpeftable,
do not prove that American veflels had not
been lent to the out ports of Cub*, nor that
the crews had not reached the Havanna t., :n
those ports by land ; nor, if the information
is true, does it refteA upon captain Decatur,
■ wiiofc aftivity, and character are too wtJl
| known to want certificates; but his. single
"j vefTel cannot, be every where, nor can ht;
| catch: every faft failing privateer, which may
jbe employed-to difirefs ; our t —I lay our
trade, Mr. Fennoj for I jiave been tome years
a citizen of the United States, and am as
■ waniily in te re fled ii>its prosperity 3s any na
tive citizen can be. It is of little import
ance to the truth of information, what spot
gave birth to tiie person from whom it came,
or the person to whom it was sent. .Every
nation produces men worthy of credit; but
Mr. M'Knight is under an error with re
fpeft to me, which I wish to correal.
I was not born in France, but in Switzer
land, and it will not be readily imagined,
that the misfortunes of my native country,
can have given rife to any fentinaents injuri
