UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, June 13.
From Halifax, June 5.
On Sunday last arrived here from
Virginia, his Majesty's ships .Daedalus,
commanded by Sir Charles Knowles,
and Terpsichore, Captain Bowen.
Tne iJaedalus failed frrom England
last fall, bound for this place ; but
meeting with a courCe of levcie itorms,
and having received great damages, be
sides having sprung her main-mast and
fore-malt, io as not to be able to car
ry fail on them, (he was obliged to put
into Norfolk ; —*. which time two
French Frigates were in the Chefapeak.
On her arrival there, the got in two
new malts, and Having completed the
other neceflary repairs, Sir Charles
Knowles, intended immediately to pro
ceed to this place ; but jult as the ihip
was ready for lea, a French fleet, con
filling of two ships of the line, four
frigates,and two corvettes, arrived from
France, to convoy home a fleet o:
French merchantmen which had been
lying in the Chefapeak. Those fli ps
were immediately so ilationed, as to
block up the Daedalus, and to render
her departure impofiible. In this mor
tifying situation, the officers and crew
of the Daedalus have been exposed to
every mean infuit, both from the
French and Americans, that it is poi
fible to conceive of.
But great merit is due to Sir Charl s
Knowles, his officers, and (hip's com
pany, for the steady contempt with
which they have uniformly repelled a
condudt so unmanly and ungenerous.
To infuit an enemy so very inferior in
force, while it betrays every mark of
cowardly little minds—in the brealt of
the brave man, of any nation wlk> hears
it, will excite a generous abhorrence
and indignation. One great object in
tended by these insults, was, if pofii
ble, to provoke the people ef the Dae
dalus to some seeming impropriety of
condudt, that might foim a pretence
for them to take advantage of, to pro
ceed to greater outrages. Sir Charles
Knowles saw into their designs, and by
the steady discipline maintained in the
Daedalus, rendered their insidious in
tentions abortive.
The 20th of April, the French fleet
confiding of about 150 fail, convoyed
by two ships of the line and fix frigates
failed for France. After the departure
of the fleet, the Concorde frigate, and
a Corvette of 17 guns, moved up to
Cranny Ifiand.
About the beginning of May, three
musket balls were discharged into the
Daedalus, from an American fort erec
ted nearly opposite to where she was an
chored. On Sir Charles Knowles's re
monllrating to the Governor on this
fhameful procediug, some enquiry was
made, and the persons who had dis
charged the muskets, it was supposed,
would be punished.
On the 14th of May, despairing of
the arrival of any British ship to their
relief, Sir Charles Knowles ordered the
Dx-dalus, to unmour, with a determi
nation tp proceed to sea early the next
morning. The ship was unmoored
accordingly, and, every arrangement
made for her departure , when the mod
•pleasing sensations were suddenly exci
ted throughout the ship, by the joyful
and unexpeded ar-iyal of a small boat
along fide, in which was a midshipman
belonging to his Majesty's (hip Terpsi
chore, dispatched by Captain Bowen,
to acquaint Sir Charles Knowles, that
that (hip was at anchor in Lynhaven
that he was ready to co-ope
rate with him. On a return being
font to this melTage. by Sir Chaj-les
Knowlcsjr the TerpficLore proceeded
up the river to Hampton Road, where ;
both (hips joined; and (aluted each o
ther by three cordial cheer 5. _ . .
The 15th and, 16th of ,May, the <
weather was stormy and disagreeable;
but the wind becoming faifronthe 17th,
in the morning, the Daedalus and Terp
sichore got under way, and proceeded <
to the Lower Road, where the Con- '
corde and Corvette were lying,, and paf
fmg them, proceeded down the Bay.—
About three quarters of an hour after
wards, after having taken all the men
out of the Covette, and increasing there
by herJhip's company to above 500 men,
the Concorde got under way and fol
lowed the ships down the Bay. To in
crease this gasconading appearance, /he
made a great display of grappling irons,
and other arrangements for boarding.—
At <0 o'clock, his Majesty's (hips reach
ed Cape Henry, and proceeded four or
five miles to sea, then hove too, to wait
for the Concorde. At 11 o'clock, the
Concorde reached Cape Henry, where
citizen Van Dogen saw it fit prudently to
come to anchor., The Dredalus and
Terpsichore flood off ai)d 0(1, under an
easy fail, till the next morning, when
they flood in to Cape Henry ; but could
fee nothing of the Concorde, They paf
| fed the whole day of the 18th, at a lit
tle distance from the Cape, and on the
morning of the 19th flood in again ;
when finding it in vain to wait any long
er, they proceeded for this port, leaving
the Sans Culottes quietly to return and
ftng " The Carmagnoland Citizen
Van Dogen, jt pofiible, to make out a
. Tale for the Convention, that will save
his head from the Guillotine,
It appears by the statements under
Halifax head, that Captain Van-Dogen
did not look Jloarp after the Daedalus
and Terpsichore. It was said, when
'ie returned to Norfolk, he was unable
to come up with them. Slow foiling
' vellels indeed, that coold not ovettpie
others that were lying too ! But
-hen this is'a Halifax is
l -lot to be credited f !
In contradiction of the Halifax news,
it is said several ai rivals from Norfolk,
mention the Concorde's chafing the Bri
• ilh frigates 48 hours.

NEW-YORK, June 18.
Two English fiigates are arrived at
the watering place ; they are said to be
the Quebec, Capt. Rogers, and the
Alarm, both from Admiral Jarvis' fleet;
they are getting a few stores and are to
fail again.
From the Minerva.
The report of the committee of Con.-
gtefs, appointed to examine the ac
counts and proceedings of the Treasury
Department, is now before the public.
This report is lengthy j making a pam
phlet of 86 pages. In their ftateTnent,
the committee have exhibited all the es
sential modes of tranfafting business in
that .department—the methods of re
ceiving and disbursing all public mo
nies—the forms of bills, warrants and
leceipts, used in the business—an ac
count of all loans and deposits in the
several binks—the duties of the respec
tive officers—the manner in which the
books are kept in the several offices—
the amount of the public revenues for
each year, and the total amount for the
whole term since the ellablifhment of the
government.—The amount of appro
priations and the balances in favor of
the treasury for each quarter —the sour
ces from which the revenues arise—the
history and operations of the finking
fund—the proceedings of the Secretary
\vi:h refpeit to the foreign loans—the
difpofitjon of the monies borrowed—
the amount of the debts of the United
States, and the am«unt of each respec
tive debt, foreign and domestic, dillin
guifhing the amount of the several spe
cies of. funded and unfunded certificates.
This report will, it is presumed, be gra
tifying to the public, who feel interested
to know the (late and management of
the national finances. It will, at the
some time, wipe away the unjull and a
busive aspersions call on the Secretary
of the Treasury—it will establish his re
putation for incorruptible integrity, and
confound the calumny of his enemies,
tho' it may not silence their flanderons
tongues.
A melancholy accident happened
yesterday afternoon :—A lad of about
13 years, fonofMr. Dawfon, in Cort
landt-ftreet, barber, by some fatality,,

j fed to be foMiers from the fort) .and ran
| out to sea. The second mate made his
escape out of the cabbiii window into
.the boat .before they got out of the river.
The chief mate was confined until they
, got ouf, and the : ordered on deck to
conduct the (loop to Martinique. The
• pirates fometiints spoke French, and
one of the (loop's people underilanding
it, found they intended as foou as they
made the Island, to kill ail hands and
| "un the (loop 011 Ihore. Tiiey therefore
| took the oppoitunity when the pirates
j began to be sea-sick, and at 1 o'clock,
I P. M. on the 24th, they attacked them,
; killed 5 and confined the other 4; —
the mate and one of the (loop's people
only, were, wounded ; and on the i(t of

near high water in the evening (he was
towed a considerable way up the river,
so as not to endanger any further, the
wharves or (hipping.

Extract of a letter from J arnica, dated
May 11.
" There is a most malignant fever ra
ging here at present, and it is highly
neceflary; as you tender the fafety of
your families and the community, that
the conditioji of the crews of every ves
sel from this place (hould be ftridlly in
fpedled before they are fuffered to mix
with foeiety. The hot weather is now
coming on in America, and by fe*f>ua
ble precaution you mav prevent a simi
lar cafadiophe to what has already hap
pened to the firfl town in the United
States."
Sunday last arrived here, the fliip
Union, Capt. Johnfton, in 15 days from
the Havannah. Thirty leagues to the
southward of Cape-Henry the Unioi:
was boarded by two Britifft frigates, the
Quebec and Alarm, who deprived hci
of two hands, under pretence ot the
being British fubjefts. The commando
of the Quebec informed Capt. fohhflo
that there were 8 British frigates on our
coall, daily in fight of each other.
