Treachery of United Irishmen.
Before capt. Naylor left Gibraltar, a most
wicked and treacherous plot was fortunate
ly discovered a few days before it wa» to be
put into execution. It appears that a part
of the United Irifhrnen, that surrendered at
Vinegar hill with the French Gen. Hum
bert, wasfentto Gibraltertorecruitthe 18th
regiment; those men have seduced a part of
the troops stationed there, to join in their
infamous defigs, had agreed to rife upon the
reft of the troopi,,to murder thera and their
officers, and to deliver that important gar
rison to the enemy. The ring leaderi were
brought to a court martial, ten of whom
were sentenced to be shot, eight of these
however, were reprieved on the ground, and
two fufiered death.

Extract of a letter from captain Ancwtes
Adams of ibis town, late commander of
the ship Mary-Ann, of 14 gur.s, and 25
meif, belonging to Npw-York, to bis friend
in this town, dated Cadiz, May 22, 1799-
" I am sorry to be under the necefiity of
writing to yeu upon so different a lubjeft j
from my last. On the id instant, failed
from Guernfev, bound to Malaga and Bar
celona, with nothing to render our passage
unhappy, until the-1 ith, arrived off Cadiz,
thinking to have found the Englifli blockad
ing this port, but touiy great surprise, found
no English iTiips here—immediately began to
apprehend danger," which at 12 on meridian
was but too well founded ; we descried from
matt head seven French privateers, the wind
dying away f«ft at the fame time, 5 of theni
with the help of their oars, soon came up
with lis ; on which an aftion commenced,
which continued without Ceasing one hour
and forty-feven minutes ; having in the
course of this time one of my men killed,
andTeven woended, which you mutt think
had weakened my small number considerably,
it being dead calm, and overpowered by num
bers, I thought refinance 110 longer uleful
nor prtldent, and struck my colors, with
hopes of mercy, but my sorrow, found
little—crue, my life was spread me, for
which I am very thankful, and for which I
am (under ©od) indebted to a Frenchman,
who was far more humane than the reft—
feveral attempts were made to dil'patch me.
which certainly would have been done had
not this Frenchman interfertd. So iavage
were they, beat our wounded in a mod (hock
ing manner ; they knocked me down and
beat me, while others were attempting to
stab me—not a man escaped their barbarity.
They took from us every thing except what
we Hood in, even our hats from our heads.
" Our ship is a moll (hocking fight to be
hold, cut all to pieces ; my poor country
men are mere or less (baring the fame fate
evet v d;.y; a fliip from Baltimore, bound
to Leghorn, was brought into Algeziras the
fame day after me, mounting 20 fix poun
ders, and 25-men, the captain dangcroufly
wounded ; he fought them an hour and a
half.
■V".'
" They would not allow us to go on Ihore
for forty eight liours after getting into port,
nor permit any one to speak us from the
fliore, not even our consul, nor allow us to
bury cur dead: keeping Mr. Mumford (my
merchant) and myfelf in close confinement,
no cloaths to wear, nor any i?*.ng to lie on
but the ballad in the hold.
" The priveaters are now much larger
than when 1 was out in the Commerce ;
thole that captured, me, three out of the
five,, mounted fix twelve and two
90 men each—none less than jo—made up
"of all nations, £ar* sorry to fay many A
mei'icans; -
" We were -captured on th? I tth, carried
into port the 12th, the 5 palled our declara
tion ; our papers fealtd up and sent to Ca
diz. t>n the 19th, Mr. Mumford and jny
felf arrived fafc at-Cadii, eac h > n perfeft
heal th whepe wt iroW are waiting our con
demnation, which We expect will take place
soon. . • -
<l .My ct>ndu£l through the whole of this
disagreeable bulinefs seems to have met the
approbation cf.rarry American, together
with that of our confula, who flatter me with
its meeting tlje approbation of all whom it
may concern. . I have given the French con
suls consuls here, a true regrefentation of
their barbarity, together with a lift of every
thing they robbed me of, and have their
protnife that my wearing apparel fliall be re
stored. I have ndt much hopes of recover
ing any of my property, for they are much
enraged against me for contending with them
so long. Many on their Gde were killed, as
appears by their own account, and they al
ways make their loss as favorable as poflible.
My return home is uncertain." Adieu.
ALEXANDRIA, July *7.
The schooner Cornelia, Capt. James
'Crowdhill, of this port, was unfortunately
captured on the 17th of Juhc, about 65 miles
to the Eastward of Surinam River by a
French privateer sloop, called, the La Impo
sture, commanded by citizen Bapiift Malvin,
belonging to Cayenne. The citizens of the
United States must have loft by his cap
tures, on the lowcft calculation, the sum of
80,000 dollars. The privateer is Americ*n
built, ar.d has not the smallest appearance of
being armed. She however, carries fix 6
pounders and one long French 18 pounder,
which carries an Englifli 241b fiiot and runs
on a Aide. It can be aftd on either fide, or
as a stern or bow chafe. Her bottom is
white, fides yellow, and upper works black
and yellow, But does not appear to have
been painted for the last 12 months; barriea.
does very low and weak, lo that any armed
vessel laying her clofc aboard would be almost
sure Of conquest, She frequently lays at an
chor on the coast with a number of prize*
round her, so that the American veflels ma)
mistake her for a Dutch or Dane. It is ho
ped this dcfcription may be of service to
commanders of veflels in that trade.
[iSalem Gaz.
Malvin had determined to fit out the
brig George .as a.privateer, to mount 14
guns; and if the Cornelia failed to his liking
she was alio to be fitted out. He is a man
of considerable property, and so well acquain
ted with the coalts-, St that he is enabled to
do considerable injuiy to otir commere. The
French keep. 2 corvettes, of 20 guns each,
with a considerable number of men ; but capt.
Crowdhill is of opinion, jhat a very small
American force would keep the coast clear
of privateers. No dependence is to be pla
ced 01. the Dutch; a 5 almost all their \effels
of war have been lent home.
The day after capt. Crfiwdiiill was cap
tuied, Malvil made- hfm and Mr. Nicolls,
who was fupcrcargo ef the brig George a
present of the schooner John, including, al-
! ■ V
so ber officer* and seamen ; but previous to
this the hud been plundered of tvciy tiling
that was valuable. Capt. Crowih Il beivi|
(Kort of water, carried the schooner into Su
rinam, where (lie was claimed by thj capt.
and supercargo, and accordingly given up.
In return for his carrying the vessel into
that place, he was given two barrels of beel
and onp of flour, w ' th f° me Sl a^es t0 ul> on
his passage home.
Capt. Crowdhill feels himfelf bound ir,
duty to return his thanks to capt. Sandford
and Mr. John Moore, for their humanity
and friendly attention on his arrival at Sui
rinam. Capt. Henderfon ol the London
Packet, of Baltimore, with true Amcr.car
philanthropy, offered capt. Crowdisill any
afiiftance he might Hand in necri of. tuppofint
that he had been plundered ;but M dvin had
taken nothing but hi-> papers, and amongst
them his certificate of naturalization.
Mr. Richard Nicols, who was taken in
the brig George, intended to fail in the brig
Favorite for Baltimore, unless prevented by
the watchfulnefs of the corvette which lay at
Surinam and the commander of whom had
determined to capture all American velTels
he could fall in with.
RTCHMOND, July 20.
Claylotne [of th<sJlate~\ and Clapton, (hoth
belonging to the band) had occasion, during
the last feflion of Congre's, to addrefe their
condiments by letter. The abilities of
either singly, being inadequate (as it would
seem) to the talk, they club'd talents, and
produced one, which answered the purpose.
Claiborne sent his to the people of Brunf
wick and other counties in that ditlrid j and
Clopton forwarded his to those of New-
Kent, Henrico, l(c. while each flattered
himfelf, no doubt, that the distance would
prevent a difcovny A citizen of this plact,
was reading one of them some time after
wards to a few acquaintances, as a letter
from Mr. Clopton, which he premised he
had procured accidentally, and intended to
preserve as a curiosity. A gentleman of
Mecklenburg happened to be present, and
afeer hearing the letter reso, observed that
it ramefrom Mr. Claiborne,—not from Mr.
Cloptorf ; for that the former was his Rep
refentstive, and had transmitted him one of
the fame kind. Hereupon he was (hewn
the signature of Clapton, but having good
grounds for his assertion, he put his hand
into his pocket, and drew out Claiborne.
The two letters were then compared, and
proved in every refpeft verbatim, except the
signature. Yet did many of our fellow citi
zen*; honest and refpe&able citizens too,
with a knowledge of this cireumftaoce, give
their fuffrages at the lall election, in favour
