Such was the tituation of Hifpanio ;, la, when captain Cox left it, that the if troops could , not go a mile without > their lines without being attacked on every quarter. The •Britirti troops and j seamen in general were very sickly— f Captain Cox saw tour 12 corp.es of _ a day—if this was the fitustion of the s Mole (though healthy) what must be _ their (ituation in Port-au-Prince ?

(j! Mejfrs. Timothy iff Major., id BY republilhihg, the following piece I :o *®kcn from the Columbian Herald, you I will greatly oblige I :e ANOTHER YANKEE. ' )r A Writer in the City Gazette ofl c yelterday, under the head of " Arts] and Sciences," sets out apparently,! wtth an honest intention of expoling j an impostor and fabricator of counter-1 feit indigo ; but before he concludes, I n he has contrived, with an ingenuity I 0 peculiar to mean-spirited and low-bred I men, to introduce a malicious and un-1 merited aspersion of the character ofl n New-England people in general, by I observing that " the Yankees, who I p t have long been, famed for putting tricks I j upon ft rangers, seem now in a fair I way of being paid in their own base I coin." I t That such an idea of the Yankees is I entertained here, by the vulgar and un-1 " informed, will not be denied. But those I men who have travelled, and are expe-1 rimentally acquainted with New-Eng-1 land, know well, that fair dealing, the] e fulfilling of contrasts and verbal promif-1 es and honor and honesty in the most I n perfedl sense of the words, Are not un- I j common there, and mnft be particularly I regardid by any one who expedts to be I f countenanced by the people : and that I a man of .an immoral, profligate, difho-1 e nest or fliu/flng character, is as much I „ despised, and held in ai mUch contempt I by the public there, as he would be here I in Charleston, or in any part of South-1 Carolina. I Had this Writer confined himfelf to I giving the public information of the I j abuse he alluded to, if it really existed, I he would have adted like a good citizen; I and even his wit might have been very I • laudably exereifed upon the base author I of it. Bnt wheti he digresses from the I offenfibfc object of his address, for the I ' Jfrpofc of inculcating and eftabliftiing j | by means of a public newspaper, a ge-j neral odiirm upon "the inhabitants ofl four extensive and populous states, and I of insulting a large number of good I citizens, who cannot but nicely feel fori ' the honor and reputation of their na-l tive country-; he certainly deviates farl ' from the conduct of a good member ofl society. Indeed, when the obvious! tendency Of such illiberal as perfions is I considered, the author appears hardly j less criminal and contemptible, than the I ' counterfeiter of indigo himfelf. I* A YANKEE. 1 July 11. j a —— I C PHILADELPHIA. f We do not learn that any thing fur-1 ther has tranfpirej relative to the late I naval comliat. It does not appear by J the Baltimore papers of Friday'and Sa-| turday last, that there has been a late | I arrival there from Liverpool. The ac- I S count therefore of a letter from Balti- J, more which made a (hort appearance at j g the Coffee-Houfe on Sunday, decla-| rative of such an event, is probably a I o fabrication. I | By a gentleman arrived from Edin-1 g burgh, by the way of Ireland, in the I g Swift, we are informed that the difcon-1 tents in Scotland begin to wear a feri-1 • ous appearance. In the beginning ofl May last,. one Rofs, formerly concern-1 , ed in printing the Edinburg Gazetteer, I A a popular newspaper, and fourteen o-1 S ther persons, were apprehended, all at I iS the fame time, and committed to pri-j son. The charge was that they had I been manufacturing and colledting arms I an of various kinds in a clandestine man-1 ab ner, and for unknown purposes. Some hundreds of mulkets, befidea pikes and I V 1 1 other weapons, with powder and ball, j " were found secreted ; and the quantity of arms would foo#i have beet) very or cenfideiable. There is no doubt,-, that the conspirators will be severely puniih ed, if the government lasts long e nough to give the Lord Advocate time ~ for their trial. However desperate the projett may fcerrrfaf a Scots infurrrc tion,' yet it is certain that zooo Well armed and rcfolute men would be fuffi- Oi cient to drive the Engliih government out of the countiy. The standing forces in Scotland new consist of moie than two or thre regi- ortents of foot, and as many troops of «- liorfc. The new raised Scots Levis* as- arc to the lad degree difaffcfted ; some is; of them have repeatedly mutinied a nd gainst their officers; and all of them le- are friends to the French Revolution. :a- At present no merchant in Edinburgh is fuffered to have more than two pounds if- jof gunpowder in his pofleffion. The th I infoleiice of the military, in the late difturhance, at the Theatre, has great ly augmented the number of persons, who judge reform neceflfary. a , " Gen. Advertiser.
