[CIRCULAR.! Havanna, August 18. Sin, Referring you to my refpetts of the Bth inft. I have at present to add, that all vefl'els that arrive are permitted to enter, but none as yet have obtained leave to land any thing but Flour. From the bed information lean obtain I believe that all of them will be allewed to unload in a few days, and that henceforward vessels loaded with provisions only, will be admitted. I (hall continue to advise you of every alteration which may be made. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your very humble fervt, JOS. M. YZNARDI. Agent of the United States. The Collector-os the Port of Philadelphia. American invention. Mr. Benjamiu Dearborn, of Mr.ffachu fe«B, a native American, hn established the Manufacture of a Vibrating Steelyard, or jui balance, for which he has a patent, under the seal of the United States This instrument unites the convenience of the Steelyard, with the accuracy of the Scale Beam ; it gives tf e near ar.d gross hundred -upon inlpeftion, without reducing one into the other, and no art in the manner of ufipg it, can caufr it to err. Should ths inventor meet wuh encou rageoient he proposes to bring forward other ' di(oo»eries, not less worthy their notice 'which otherwise will reft in obfeurity, or be publiihed in Europe. The following latter was written by a gen tleman in Jamaica to bis friend in Bal- timore.1 " Kingston, Aug. 1, 1779. '• Si R, " Conformable to your request I have ob tained what information 1 could concerning the Spani(h jrnde from this place, but from what I can learn none but British and Spa nish fubjefts'can partake of its fwcets, under royal proteOlio* ; confcqusntly, American property or America'! vessels will fall a i'a-. crifice. At prcfent I cannot advifc you to fend any property to tbefe ifl.mds, or any of them ; sor v when Americans can j>o with fafety, produce is lower than with you, and every vessel taken going to or from Danish iQands, or the Havanna, is deemed legal priz:. Captain L'>vctt was fsnt in here a few davs fmce, bound from Carthagena to New York; he lays, ha saw at Cavthagena, a proclamation of the King of Spain, to the Viceroys and Governors of the several pro vinces on the Main and Islands, authonfiug them at difcreticJn, to open their ports for the importation of such if-iads and mercan dize not of the growth and manufacture of Great Britain, as they fliould deem expedU • ent in American and Daniih veflels from Denmark. But, he fays, that such interest has been made by the iiritifli government, by means of douceurs and otherwavs, that they now fup,.Jy every tiling which is the •reason their ports have not been opcn.te us This traJe is too extensive not to deserve notice.

MILITARY. On Friday, 23d ult. arrived at thediftrift quarters, commanded by Major Winilow, Taunton, in addition to those at that place, upwards of eighty active recruits for the 14th regiment. WASHINGTON, (K.) August 21. Ertraft of a letter from col Win. Ward, one of the principal feeders on Mad river, to the editors. " Sii.ce there is so great a rumour thro' the coaritiy rifpe&ing an Indian war, it might peihaps be gratifying to the public to hrar the circumstances which gave rife to the report from one who hag seen and heard the matter investigated between the Whites and Indians. It appears the Indians were cal ling in their f. attered people, for the pur po'e of fettlii,g them in some regular man ner, as they were before their dispersion by the wars. About the lame time foma ill dis posed person« informed the Shawanefe i»- dians, that the Chickafaws were about making wjar against them, and that some of them were then laying in wait to put their hoiiile deTigns in e*' ctuioo. At this the Shawanefe were much alarmed, and made preparations for their defesce ; from which preparations (and by exaggerated accounts of them t« >) the Whites took alarm, think ing the I-ciians intended \»<-ut made his escape ; that he had stole a bridle and saddle out of Mr. Crabb's tavern, and that he-* made his home about the Black Horse tavern in the forks of Yough, Tutnbull's iron works, and Devore's Ferry.' 1 She is confined in tllfe gaol of Allegheny county, ana it is supposed (he i» conne&cd with a gang of horse thifves, and that their chain of conveying horses to-1 heir connex ions in different parts of the United States, is through the Forks of Yough ; therefore the inhabitants ought-to be watchful of all suspicious pei font. CINCINNATI, August 20. It is with great pleasure we inform tha public, that a principal chief of the Shawa nefe, and three others, came to this place on Friday last, and has given afi"ui\inccs to the Governor that their nation, and, as far as they know, all others, are perfe&ly friendly to the Americans. That the frontiers hav ing been evacuated by them, and the people drawn together to build forts, had diftrefled them, and added to the alarm they were un der about the Chickefaws, who, as they had been informed, were coming in great force to attack thenr. That their being in arms at their towns was with no other view than to defend thcmfelves against the Chickefaws. and that they had brought their women and children into them, and were making some fortification about them for their security. That the sole end of their coming here at this time, was that the people miy;ht be fatisfiecl they had ne bad design againlt them, an;! that Neiiiplico, a.iother chief well known to them, had gone to the Great Miami, to give the people there the fame afliirancej. We have authority to fay that it i? the opinion of the governor that at' present, the inhabitants have nothing to fear from the Shawanefe. — m &~~ POR 1 SMOUTH Auguit' 3 1. Capt. Charles Blunt, of the D.anna, ar rived here 011 Wedtfel'day last, in 24 days from Trinidad. H; informs that two days after he left Trinid id, lu was taken by a French privateer letter of Marque from St. Thomas' bound to Guadeloupe, who took out the niau ud one seamen ; Captain Blunt and foui o: ers feigning theuifelves lick were left 011 bo.u'd t in care of a prize matter and four flout hands; who were ordered to pro ceed for St. Eulhttia, and Ml the prize, re mitting the neat proceeds to Guadaloupe. But Captain Blunt having preconcerted the scheme of recapture, came upon deck on the morning of the 7th of Aug.uft and seizing on a cntlafs, at the fame moment that one of his hands seized a musket, they began to try the fortune of War. A blow from the but-rnd of the musket fettled Mr. Heluif man pretty quick ( but rifjng again, Gipz. Blunt aimed a second flroke with the cut lass and quieted his bowels. The prize ma tter cuming aft to help his man, was obliged tofurrender also ; and by the ailiftance of the rett of thecrsw and paffcnger the remain der of the Fremi men were secured. Capt. Blunt then gave him his long boat, their chests, some provisions, and water, and let them out on a new cruise to find land, After t'n/y were put into the boat, they told Capt. Blunt that he was a damned brave fellow, thanked him for his humanity and wiflied lirni fafe to port. Capt. B. then made the bed-os his own way for port, and every true American bids welcome to the naval hero. His gallant conduft merits a good tbip. Honourab'.t Auctdote of Capt. Blunt. The French gang whom Capt. Blunt so gallantly conquered, had a large quantity of Johannes with with tile I'poils of many an hofielt fellow. It was mentioned by some that Capt. Blunt lliould feizc enough of this-ill gotten gain to pay for his long boa:. No, fays the manly feainan ; It is none of my bufmefs how they came by their gold. It appears to be theirs, and I will not touch a farthing.—French Pirates pipe all hands up on deck and belay the main sheet of plunder with l'uch a Hopper. ALEXANDRIA, August 23, DIED, On Friday morning' the 16th inftaot near Dumfries, Mr. DANIEL FORD, in the 20ih year of hit age, of that dreadful mala dy the Hydrophobia, very much and very justly fretted. He was seized with the symptoms of dis ease on.tlvc Wedncfday morning preceding, but two days previous to that he felt a pain extending from his wrist, where he was bit, to his neck, but paid little regard to it fup poftni; it to be rheumatic.—During the ftiort period of his illness, which was only »bout 46 hours, though conscious of hia fitnation and approaching end. he behaved with the molt manly refolmion • and even in the lad agon es of his diflref*, he exhib it ' d no symptoms of violence, nor the fmal letl disposition to injure any of his attend ants. He wa* his knees when the lalt par xifm attacked him and relieved him from his misery. 1 hough the cafe will probably be publifh e 1 at full length in the Medical Repolitorv of New York, ft may no) be unintcrefting to insert in this abftraifc the copy ot a letter he wrote to his brotlver the Jay on which the Hydrophobia fcizrd him : It is at once a proof of his capacity and firmuefi, of mind. Wednesday, | ±tb August. " DEAR JOHN, " From a difeovery this morning. I earn estly Hie t your prcfence this evening, if you ever wi(h to fee or converse with rat again while in my proper fenLs. This morning while at Mr. Brown s, I was about ta walh, when put ing my face over the bowl I felt an inftantat.eous (hock of the Hydro phobia : since which time I have not been able to d ink or fee water without fer'ing a Omilar shock. l'leafe roquetl fame PI. yfi cian to come up with you, as I wilh t: fte one, not as I suppose he can favc life, but may-make death more easy. DANIEL FORD." Ma. John Tot*, Dumfries. This young gentleman was bit by a mad dog at Poit Tobacco in Maryland, precise ly 37 days before the fymploms of t! e Hr drop obia appeared. On applying to Dr. Brown and Dr. Jeniler, they were of opin ion that the wc.uwd was too deep and in a situation too dangerous to attempt inciflion, bjt advised him to keep it open ; and for this purpose directed Simulating Mercurial applications This advice he pursued, but being under great apprchenfions. he thought it prudent to g* to a Dutcl Clergyman, living near Lancaster, Pennfy' vania, who was celebrated for having disc vered an in fallible remedy for the bite of a mad dog. And here it may be prop r t take noiict that the day before he died h; related the circumltanccs of his cafe very fully, jnd with the greatest composure, and in a ra tional and intelligent manm-r. The Dutch mau's medicine, he obtained, was called a Decoftion, and was so efficacious, that one dose only was fufficienti but irt or der to make his cure perfectly complete, he said, he took two doses, and the immediate effedls of the medicine on his system were severe but exadtly such as the prefcriber had foretold. Whilst at the Dutchman's he heard the molt wonderful accounts of the efficacy of the Decoftion j of people trav elling more than athoufand miles in quell of it; and that it had never failed in a single indance. Relying on these tellimo lies he returned home overjoyed, aod believing hirtffelt out of alf dinger, unluckily fuffered the wound to heal up, and allthe horrors ps Hydrophobia vaniftted from h'i» Mind. In almost every age and every dountry, infalliable remedies for Canine Madnrfs have been published to the fcotfd, all claiming the fanftiou of experience, and recounting in support of their efficacy a long catalogue ol wonderful cures : Yet, fucceedmg trials o( the fame boasted remedies have doftroyed their credit, and proved them to be grois impofuions. A popular reliance On such Nostrums cannot be too strongly reprobated because, by lulli"g the patieut into ground less ideas of security it leads to the negle£l of what rray be really ufcfui; and even in this uuhappy inllance, had Mr. F<,rd fol lowed the direftions of the medicinal gen tlemen at Port Tobacco, and kept up a dis charge- from the part bitten for 10 or 12 weeks, it is very probable his life might have been saved. , , Brooks, Portland Hope, Frazier, Anapolis Irig Paragon, Hunter, Philadelphia Molly, Harding', do. * Ann, Peniiock, ichr.
