The confined power of the Health Officers of this port, to the Windward Iflauds, pt events any thing effectual be iug done by them, add to that the back ward difpolititm of making the necelfary arrangements, by placing a guard at the Fort, or a request to the Pilots of the port not to bring in any veflel, from any port of the Weft-In dies within the Fort. The prevailing fever of those Wands will inevitably be introduced into this town. Should fiich an event take place, be it again remarked that it mult not be attributed to a want of exertion on the part of the Health Officers; but as otfeived before, to a backward difpoiition of the town.

ExtraCl of a letter from an intelligent ma nufacturer of cotton in the town of Pa terfon in Neiu-Jerfcy, to a gentleman in this city, dated June 11, 17JJ4- " I now take the liberty of informing you, that I have a machine for for the pur pole of cleaning cotton of its feed, ready for your inspection—it is far from a com plete piece of mechanism, but every day's working will lurniih ideas for improve ment. It is calculated to work by water or faovfe, the expence very moderate. I make a double allowance when I fay the exp-jnee of obtaining the feed will not o *er-run 2d currency per lh. (I mean the clean'ci pound) 'tis a machine that every man may be taught to work in half an hour, and will turn off upwards of three hundred weight of clean cotton per day, that is, it will "gin about one thousand pounds during twelve hours offeed cotton. 1 am happy to inform you, that the staple of the Carolinas and Georgia cotton, far surpasses all expectation in its application on our water machines ; nor ought I to o mit naming a Mr Pinckney, I believe of Virginia,* who some time lince forward ed two samples, the growth of his planta tion, of a quality at leait equal to the 2d Bourbon. They have an unfortunate cus tom to the southward, of mixing the dif ferent growths and different gatherings of different plantations together, by which means the well and ill harvelted, the black and green feed, the healthy and the un healthy, the rotten and the found get all jumbled together; and the following diffi culties arise in Wdrking or manufacturing of it into any goods of a quality superior to the fuftians or thiefcfetts. " If ill harvelted, that is, if the ripe and unripe pods are plucked at the fame time, the unripe pods heat, discolour and weaken the staple ; such cotton is much Ciorter than a full grown pod, and i« moll of it loft or useless in the manufacture. — The black akd green feeds produce a cot ton cfl'entially different in their qualities to the manufacture—the latter being gene rally much superior, of a fine but Ihort staple, and if welf harvelted, very strong, clear and kindly applicable for muilins, some of Mr.Pinckney's which I have re ceived, I will venture to affirm, will spin as tine as No. 150 hanks to the pound, each hank being 840 yards long. The Mack is in general Ihort, ciirley, coarfe,but applicable to the lower numbers—l have nut fetn any of the growth of this country which will spin above No. 30, or 40 ; now Si>'» 'tis evident that two such contrarieties in point of quality, as is in the black and > green feeds, ought not to be mixed ; to lpin each to advantage, a different process is necessary—they are each good in their kind, but if unfortunately they get mixed, they each materially injure the other, and render thi compound verydiflicult to man ufacture; aVid I am well convinced from my own observations, that to this unthink ing admixture, and conlequently it» inap plicability to the modern cotton machines, arises the indifference concerning Ine Ame rican cotton among manufacturers. The Itores in Virginia J underltand take it from the Planters in fina'.l parcels, by way o; barter ; the store keeper has one common receptacle for all it receives, so that every thing is unluckily done with it, touch ought to have been ftndiouily avoided: there is an aftonilhing difference in the ex cellence of the qualities oi these i*jlpe 'ive feeds, but the Planter s ignorance oi circumstance unfortunately fills the market with a bad article, when at the fame colt and labor a good one m'glit be produced. Healthy andunhealthv,! have as yet grow:, but little cotton, and my knowledge 011 this head arises more from information than any other means —It seems a plan' which has manv casual faculties atta:hed to it, (at leait in this part of the for I believe it has no hereditary.infifrni ties —planting from damaged feeds an unfavorable season—extreme poor land — a grub which injures the root, &c. all tend to produce unhealthy cotton —weak and fickly —the staple or which separates freely, has no elasticity or inclination to adhere to the other fibres, and when firlt taken out of the package, has a very faint disagreea ble smell ; this soon turns to a rot, when it becomes totally useless to the manufactu rer. I oaght to apologize to you Sir, for intruding so much 011 your time, for I have' i involuntarily run into a lengthy letter, which I had not contemplated bei'ort I be gan. " I Ihall bring with me to Philadelph.a some mule and water fp,inning of Paterfon cotton yarn, as well as some (hawls, and fancy nankeens of our American Manufac ture.'" * Probably a miltake for 5.

Yesterday arrived,in town from Nia gara, a Mr. Pierce, a gentleman whose veracity may be depended upon, who informs that the British forces intended to aft in opposition to General Wayne, have been recalled from their station ; ■' and that part of them had arrived at ; Niagara, previous to Mr. Pierce's leav- 5 ing that place, which was 4 weeks ago. j Mr. Pierce also informs, that a large j number of Indians were, before this, ; colle&ed, who intended to join the Bri- j ti(h ; but that they had all.dispersed. The above orders were supposed to have been issued by Lord Dorchcfter. IMPORTANT. From Correspomdknts. By the ship Hopd, Captain Wife, from Halifax, arrived here on Monday laftj from the British Channel, we are informed that about the 16th or 17th of May, an action had been fought in Weft Flanders, between the French ar my commanded by General Pichegru, confiding of 90,000 men", and a part of the allied army under the Duke of York which, after exhibiting prodigies of valour, had been forced to retire, with the loss of 700 killed, wounded and miffing ; on the other hand, Gene ral Clairfait had attacked the French and defeated that part of their army with which he was engaged, killing 2000 and taking 22 pieces of cannon. The main body of the army, under the Emperor, we underltand was not in the adtion. The Duke of York narrowly escaped being taken. [For the parti culars of these events we entreat the pati ence oj our readers, until they come to our hands from official publications. I' i s addtd that the Prince ,of Cobourg's army had inverted the strong town of Maubeuge, 16 le&guea from Cambray, and 53 from Paris. Considerable rtin forcements of troops had arrived from Oftend to reinforce the Britiffi, and or ders been issued from the War office in London, to embark all the cavalry and infantry which could be spared for that purpose. It was hourly expected that a general attack of the French, in which the several parts of the allied troops in FlanderS were to be engaged, would be commenced, and which in all probabili ty, must prove bloody and decisive. Lord Moira's army was to fail before the clofc of May, from Southampton and the Isle of Wight, to attempt a landing and establishment on the French coast. A part of the Britiffi fleet for Newfoundland had been taken by the French. The commander of one of Admiral M'Bride's fleet of frigates, fell iri with a French frigate, which he engaged, and took into Cork harbour, together with a ship which proved to be one of the Newfoundlanders. Consequent to his Britannic Majes ty's message to the House of Commons, of the 12th of May, refpeding the pa pers of several polittcal focieti'es in Eng- 1 land, the two houses of Parliament have consented to a suspension of the Habeas ; Corpus ail in the three kingdoms.

[Concerning 'which, we Jhall be more communicative when precisely informed.] The above account of the preceding operation in Flanders, were brought to Halifax.by a veflel from Briflol, that failed some time after the 24th of May. Extract from the London Gazette Ex traordinary, of the 113 d of May— Containing a letter from the Duke of Tork, to Mr Dundas, of the 19th. The army moved in 5 columns to at tack the French ; the column his Roy al Highness commanded, was compo sed of 7 English, 5 Austrian, and 2- Hefiian battalions, with 6 squadrons of light dragoons and hussars, were fuc celsful in the two attacks they made on the.French; and after driving them from two entrenched posts, his Royal Highness was preparing to take a po sition for the night near Lanov, and J for that purpose advanced under Lt. General Abercromby, a brigade of guards as the advanced corps. He I soon after received orders from the Em. peror to move on and to attack the ene my ; in this he again was fuccefsful.— In this pohtion his Royal .Highness was i compelled to fritter away his command., j firft leaving the two tleflian battalions at Lanoy, 2dly, four do. of British ; 1 guards at Mouvay, under General A- * j bercromby, 3aly, two Austrian do. de- » tached to communicate with Col. Da- ( I vier of Gen. Otto's column, and lastly, j a brigade under General Fox, to secure ; his Royal Highnefs's right flank ; in ; consequence of these detachments, the | Duke of York had only three British j regiments with him, and the dragoons. The French gaining intelligence of this pnfhed a corps between his Royal Highness and General Otto, who gain ed the rear of the Duke, and a body of troops soon after ifiuing from Lisle, began the attaekon his Royal Highness. The confiift was of no duration, they were attacked in frbnt and rear by as many thousands of the French as they had hundreds, were soon broke, and his Royal Highness with difficulty gain ed General Otto's column. The de tachments under Generals Abercromby, Fox, &c. made good their retreat and joined their columns on their right and left. The loss in killed, wounded and mif fing is near 700, of that, three regi ments, (the 14th, 37th, and 53d,) ftif tained near 450, so that the others fuf fercd very little, the most were made prisoners. Major Wright of the artil lery is the only officer of rank killed. General Clairfayt has revenged this check, and completely defeated a large body of the French, taking 24 pieces of cannon, and killed 2000 on the spot. The Prince Saxe Cobourg inverted Maubeuge. This is a hafly (ketch of a perusal of the gazette, the number killed, &c. is accurate, having taken them down from the return. ] Yesterday, the ship Hope, Captain Wife, arrived here in [it is said] 43 days from Bristol and Halifax, with Papers and letters dated London May 24, said to contain intelligence to the following purport—That the Duke of Tork had been DEFEATED, with the loss of 700 men ; that an Austrian General was killed by his fide f that he [the Duke J saved himfelf by swim ming a river on horseback; and, to balance this account, that General Clair fayt had rallied his army, given battle, and beat the French, killing 2000 men, and taking 22 pieces of artillery.- We suppose the Duke's whole (ommand ( 15,000 men) were cut of ! ! Whether such papers and such letters have been received or not, is not fully ascertained by the editor. If it be a fatt that such papers, and important news are received, the public will judge, whether they are not grossly insulted by their being withheld from them.

A letter we have just received from Martinique, dated June 20th, states, that the report of the arrival of an En glish fleet at Barbadoes, as a reinforce- ' ment to Admiral Jrrvis, is totally with- 1 out foundation. ' The French landed at Point-Petre on ' the sth June ; the naval force is one 74 ' gun ship; one 64, four frigates, four trSnfpor'ts and two brigs. The English 1 fleet at Guadaloupe is ot superior force. The number of troops is not known, but the English suppose them formida- 1 ble, as evidently appears from their con duit. ' Two hundred Patriots have joined the French at Point-Petre. Mr. Higginfon had just arrived from Barbadoes, and it is understood that he has not found a single American con demned veflel, worthy of condemnation. ExtraS of a letters rrom Halifax, via St. yobns, dated June 26, 1794- ' By a ship from Liverpool in 26 days there is certain accounts received that the Duke of Yoik is totally defeated, with the lo!s of 700 men killed, and as many wounded and taken priloners, and has also loft 16 pieces of cannon ; and that has obtained a complete vittoiy over the French. The fleet for this place, under admiral Murray, con lifting of 3 (hips of the line and 6 fri gates, are now in light. . It was cur rently reported when the above (hip left England, that the 'French fleet were again in port, and Howe,with the Eng li(h fleet, was still out. From the Ncw-Tork Daily Advertiser. A London Paper, the Star, of 24th M :l y, was received,by a gentleman of this citV from Halifax yellerday—We ! are informed it contains much important j information. The Auftrians and Bri | tifh had attacked the French on the 17, .or 18th, and were repulsed with con- I fiderable loss ; that of the British alone in killed and miffing a bout 800. The Duke of York was ,in considerable danger of being cut off with the column hecommanded, by a party of the French, who came out of Lisle ; and it is said he had to hvim a river in getting back to the mKin army. It is also said a flei;t of merchantmen, under convoy of the Castor frigate, bound for Newfound land, had fallen in vvith a Freech fleet, who captured nearly the whole of themi It is also said that General Clairfait had obtained considerable advantages over part of the French army, with which he was engaged. It is further faidj that the Habeas Corpus has been suspend.d :—That fevcral pei foils have been committed to the Tower, for treason :—And that the Marquis of Landfdowne, had made a motion to fuinmons the attendance of the Lords, to take up a proportion he meant to offer, refpefting the recent Condudt of the United States.
