We formerly mentioned that a gentleman if Tome reTpcct ability in this city had been tngaged in aiding some French prisoners to make their escape from this country. Out ofdtlicacy to the party we did not then tnentien the name till the circumftaoces uIJ be more fully investigated. We are " ow authonr.ed 'o fay that gentleman is the Rev. Mr. Fitzfimons, one of tise Episcopal ministers of this city. What was formerly mentioned of 'he circumstances attending their mocie of escape was correal. Mr. Fitzfimons, in hii declaration fays, that they came to h'h house, and intreated him to allow them so remain there till the fai ling of the cartel, and that out of a princi- I p!e ot humanity lie consented to do so. H hen the cartel Was about to fail he went down to Newrhaveu, and procured a boat which carrier! them o.n board. Ihe cartel returned some weeks ago to Leigh, and (Vie of the seamen having men tioned the forgoing particulars, an invtfti- Rstion immediately t ok place ; the two Wewhaven liflurmen belonging to the boat were disc ivered, apprehended, and ex amined. Mr. Fitzlimons was also sent for, underwent a long examination before tlie Magistrates, and the account he gave df ' ; »e tranfa&ion is nearly what we have (la ud. It appenr d that Mr. Fitzfimons being acquainted with tTic prisoners, arose from the following circumflance A person at Ayr, who has afon fettled at Dunkirk, wrote to him to advance some to a man (a pri soner in (he cartle) to whose relatior* at Dunkirk his son lay under obligations ; which lie accordingly did from time to time. he two iWflertoea at.d i'.f inafter of ih» cartel are in ciiftody, ai.d Mr! Fitzfimons lias been admitted to biil. We undcrllar.d that this matter will soon undergo a difcufiion before a Court of Jus tice. DUBLIN, May 8. In the courl'e of Sunday, expresses arrived at the Cattle from Cork, stating, that 011 Thursday last the fleet under Lord Bridport's directions, the Pollyphemus of 64 guns, had lef'.

By Plymouth letters of the 30th, received 1 n,town yefuiday, we have received a ru mour the Ca;far of 80 guns, having fallen among ft the French fleet fingly,'had been tr.-' ken ; but for this we Itave rrtifon to think there can be no foundation in truth. For this some time part, the price ofg-reen pork, per hundred, has been riGpg eath week *nd last week, it is tlated that it rose ißd. dill however, it is cheap in companion of beef and mutton, both of which continue extravagantly dear, Bacon has also been ri ling this month part, and very probably will be higher than what it is at present. Frelli butter has experienced a fmali reduction, but bowl and tub butter remain the fame, which is attributed to its fitarcity at market, very little being brought in from the coun try parts.

In India, the Englilh exhibit the lame proofs of naval superiority over the French, as in every other quarter of the globe A few days before*the Ulyfles left Bengal, Capt. Orne hiforms us, the French 54 gun fliip La Forte, -was towed into the river, a mere hulk without a (par standing, taken, after an aftion of 75 minutes,by La Sybille guns, Capt. Cook, who came in at the fame time under tull fail, I.a Sybille had been to coiivoy the" Gerernor-General, Earl Morn ington, with his suit, from Calcutta to Ma dras, having at tho/.ime time a large amount of specie on board for the pay of the Britilh troops in tlie Cajiutic. Oil. her return, off the Sand Heads, (he fell in with La Forte ; the Sybille received two broadsides from her antag-onift before flic fired a gun ; but when (lie had gained the position (he wiflied, (lie poured in such a terrible fire upon La Forte, as fooii carried away all her mails, killed the Captain and Gift Lieutunant, and destroyed about one half of the crew-; receiv ing herfelf but a vet) trifling injury. La Forte w*s recently from -the lile of France, had been off the Sflnd s "Hc,'ds foini time, where-fhe had taken several veflcls, a mong others the Overly E. Indiaman fiotn Madras,which file had sent in with prisoners. She had the defci iption of every Brinfli vcf lel at Calcutta ; but the officers laid they had nui intention of inoleftiflg American vcffels. Tilt Capt. ot La Forte was well known and re.fpect.ed at Calcutta, and had behaved wii.,'; great humanity on every occalion^ Capt.Cooke commanded La Sybille in this a&ion ; and it is remarkable that he had ta ken this ship also from tlie French, in the Mediterranean, in the early part of the wat, with a gun 'frigate, which he then com manded,* In the cenqueft of La Forte, he received a flight wound. Though the En glifli have aflembled a nioft formidable army in the Camatic, yev we do n6t understand that Tippoo had made a declaration of war, or commenced altual hostilities ; but that he had withheld the tributes stipulated by trea ty, and had taken other meafurfcs which in dicated an intention of hostilities. It was however expelled, that the failure ofßuona aparte in forming a jun&iori with him, and of the designs of the French with Zemaun Shaw, together with the very formidable ar my which the English had prepared to meet him, would induce him once more to make overtures for a settlement. [* This is a miflake: it was capt. Paget, in the Romney, who captured I.a Sybille.] SEVENTEENTH JVt.Y.

An honest mechanic, who had been led aftn.* by fonie of the " Pencil Tools," in this place, a tew days line® confcfTed to his neighbor, a federalift, that he had been i'o jar duped as to believe the government of the United States more despotic than that ot Turkey. He Kid beeo tokl and iuppofed it a the constitution was trodden under toot, mat property and perton, as in France, lay at the mercy of the govern ment ; that there was neither law nor jus tice in the land, excepting for the rich. His alarm on the fubjed. had given hiui more unhappinefs than every other worldly care, having caufei him many afleeplels night. But he was now convinced he had been deceived, and was not ashamed to can tc-is it. Hoys callous to every g*ood princi ple, how abominably wicked must the sedu cers of i'uch men be. This person is a pro feflor of the religion of Christ, and poflefles a good moral character ; but to infatuated has he been by the sophistry and fallhood of the disciples of Talleyrand and Paine, as lately to hare wished fucc?fs to the French cause which isconfefledlyfubverfive of Chris tianity, and palpably deftruftive of those moral and social tics without which mankind would be debased even lower than the wild beafh. When I fee men negle&inrf their business, going about under the' garb of friendfliip, seeking like Judas to betray with a kiss ; corrupting their minds with ahfurd and chi merical notions of liberty, and destroying their peace of mind by lies and misrepresen tations, I feel an indignation which my re i'olution is barely able to refill.

But unless France ceases to be a power that is paramount ; is reduced to one of the first, or second order ; and relinquishes the tremendous project, (he has formed, and perseveres in, " to conquer the ■whole -world," it would be the height of mad ness, in the United States, to rely tipon any pacific arrangements, which under present circumstances file might be difpofedto offer.

It will be ne ceflary previously to inform you, that captain Henry Shnyder had the command of a com pany of Light Infantry. Captain Ralfton of a company of Rangers, And Captain Spe ring of aTioop of Horse. The fevcral Captains had previously noti fied their refpeclive companies and troop to meet on that day. Captain Shnydtr's com pany met in front of the Court Jfotlfe, when to ir.y surprise 1 beheld one of his fe.i jparits, who, till within a fllort time was an alien, but lately became a citizen, exciting a mir tiny in the company, and &pa rating from the captain and officers, and the largest number of the men followed him ; the oth ers like good citiaens and orderly soldiers ad hered to their «fficers : then the separate di viOons paraded the streets of the town. Capt. Ralfton with his officers a'.id men dined in a grove on the south fide of Lehigh river ; after dinner capt. Rajflon marched his men into the town, and requeued captain Shnyder to join him with the remnant of Vis company, who' had not joined the muti neers. While this junftion was forming 1 was really astonished to fee capt. Spering with his troop, joined by that of cftpt. Hutchtfon of Mount Bethel, accompanying the mutinous sergeant with his revolutionist through the streets of this town, in military parade, the sergeant marching in the van. In thri'e parading marches it so happened that the companies formed by captains Shny der and Ralfton' fell in wiijh the mutinous fergeant,followed by the two captains and troops oi horse, and were marching, the fame rout in the fame street, when captains Sjbny ci v and Ra'flon made a halt, and rerr.cn- \l. v; * % llrat<>d nrt sl* i«r propriety or f.'cii r,-,.' .tary condu<&, confideHnfj -it as-ari He a parcel ofnnni'nWrs - cciijin • t«r wuy,"fo'l:fghl\'' honoml'bythe two tn.iwv; <4 li -rfc.
