Information is received by the Aigrette
that last Tuesday night a heavy gale of
wind from the North funk two veiTels at
Jeremie and drove ashore nine others*
This gale was partially felt in the Parilh
of St. Thomas in the East, where it blew
for two or three hours but without (Joing
any injury,
TJie Chafer was at Martinique where (he
left Sir Charles Grey and Sir John Jervis.
Guadaloupe is still unsubdued and, not
withstanding the vigilance of our veflels
which form tlie blockade, the French have
received several supplies of frelh provisions
from America and made returns iu pro
duce.
The ladies of Antigua lately presented
to the troops under Sir Charles Grey, a
very acceptable ftipplv of flannel articles
accompanied by the following note.
To the gallant conquerors of the French
Weft India lflands, the undermentioned
ladies of Antigua, from principles of at

stitution; and the bell of Sovereigns. beg
leave to offer this small testimony of their
admiration of the bravery of those by
■whom that glorious event has been achiev
ed, and of their gratitude for he protec
tion and security, thereby derived to the
inhabitants of the' Britilh lflands : sensible
aC the fame time of the honor which will
be conferred upon them by the acceptance
of a trifle, so inadequate to the merit of
the receivers, but which would have been
more proporti >ned to the wishes of the
do iors, and many others of their female
fellow fubjefts, who gladly have contri
buted their exertions, had they not been
prevented by the impofTibility of procur
ing proper materials, so speedily as the oc
casion required.

A writer, under the signature of " Me
dicus," in the last Corrtwall Chronicle,
iiiftances the cafe of a perfori aged upwards
of 35 years, who was attacked by the pre
vailing malady. The patient was suddenly
affected by a violent head-ach,' delirium,'
redness of the eyes, impatience of light,
and a full and tense pylfe; in less than
three days he died. Ob the fit ft. day laxa
tive medicines, which operated brifldy,
were \ given; fourteen ounces of blood
were taken from the arm, arid some hours
after fix more were taken from the temple,
which afforded temporary ease; but the
former fyraptoms returned severely in the
evening, and the pulse increased to up
wards, of x 70, attended with double vision
and deafneis; the patient's head was lhav
ed and blistered; the laxatives were re
peated, bat without effect; he became
comatdfe add died. 30 hours after.
On differing the head the veflels were
found greatly distended, and aconfiderable
quantity of coagulated blood was dis
covered between the dura and pia mater,
certainly poured out there from the deter
mination of the blood to the head being so
great as to rupture some of the smaller
veflels.
The writer, from this, and several
(inular cases with difle<£) ions, infers that
the eariy and free use of the lancet must be
the patient's only fafety in this difeife.

Died Thursday last at Mount-Kem
ble, New-Jersey, aged 73 years, Isaac
Gouverneur, Esq. He was an emi

racoa. Some time since he returned to
his native country, and resided part of
the time in this city, a ufeful and much
esteemed citizen ; his health declining,
he removed to his feat in Newark. We

rendered him dear to his relations, and

\ Nothing can exceed the arts and ad
drefles with which the oppojfers of our
i government attempt to (hist off the
censure which naturally falls on them,
at this momentous crisis. After having
for two or three years incessantly abused
our government and represented our
laws as tyrannical and oppressive ; after
having inflamed ignorant minds, and
wrought them up to a " revolutionary
height," that is to an open defiance of

the law, and to burning, murder and
plunder; then these incendiaries slTiime
a hypocritical phiz, and with their usual
cant, conjecture firlt, and afterwards
make no doubt, " that the Western
disturbances are excited by the British."
Every one knows that one of the prin
cipal complaints of the insurgents has
been, that our government has not com
pelled the British to deliver up the West
ern Posts and withdraw from the terri
tories of the United States; and yet
these very men are represented as in
league with the British. So absurd an
idea will never gain a general belief. No,
ths American Republicans, who fought
for independence and freedom know the
truth ; they ascribe the injurrectian to
its jult cause ; an uncary - , leftlefs, fac
tious spirit operating upon the weak
and daring; the ignorant and the am
bitious, and enkindling the flame of ci
vil discord. Ceitain bold spirits have
fanned the flame, till it has risen to
such a height they cannot extinguish
it i and now the)' are glad to have re
course for prote&iort to that very Wash
ington and thut excellent constitution,
which they have abused and derided.

men. But these insults, though they
rouse our refentmertt, do not endanger
the freedom of our citizens. On the
other hand, they create an aversion for
the nation that thus abuses us ; and
thus teach us to deleft their iiieafures
pnd their government.
But liberty is in danger, from the
secret avilhicracy of our country—a set
of fly, dcfigning men, who want places
which other men enjoy, and which thev
know they do not merit, and cannot
obtain, by open, fair means. These
men run around among hone 11 unfuf
peftiug citizens arid whisper, " your
liberties are in danger ;" which is in
fatl telling them, the men who now
holds the reins of government, are not so
fit to govern you as we are—put us. in
their places, and your'liberty will be
fafe.
Liberty is also in danger from fo
reign intrigues. Once has our sove
reignty been attacked by a foreign mi
uifter: whenever men ( are disposed to
intrigui to advantage, they do it molt
effectually under cover of the utmost
friendfhip. Siror.g profeflions of re
publican principles will be the arms by
which an artful man, will attempt to
carry his points in Amurica ; and from
such men does our country now incur
real danger. In short, if we lose our
freedom, it will not betaken from us
by violence and open hoftilfty ; but we
fliall be betrayed by a kiss.
WILMINGTON,
ExtraS of letter from a gentleman in
Ne<w-Ark to the editors of this paper.
" It may be of utility to fomc who
arp affli&cd, and tend to promote the
cause of humanity, to be informed, that
that delicate and nice operation of a
Jlrangulated Hernia (rupture) was per
formed nearthis place, about three weeks
ago, by Do£tor Capelle of your Bo
rough. This gentleman's reputation in
his profefjion, is too well established to
need any comment; fuffice it tj fay that
it is agreed by gentlemen of :he facul
ty, that the operation was performed
with great (kill and dexterity, and that
the patient is perfectly recovered.
"It certainly must be a great conso
lation to those who are this atflidted, to
hear it is in their power to employ a
gentleman whose talents are so greatly
instrumental in saving life, as has been
so eminently proved in the present cafe ;
for it is beyond all doubt, that this
patient would inevitably have fallen a
facrifice to this dangerous malady, had
110 such afiiftance been obtained."

On the 21ft inft. the Governor of this
Itate received information from the War

fitted out for privateering, had clandes
tinely left the port of Philadelphia, and
a request frem the President to fend an
armed force to take pofieflion of and de

sued to Col. M'Donough, to command
a fufficient number of his regiment t«
march to Port Penn, and use every en
deavor to take pofieflion of the vessel.
Dispatches were sent to Captains Fra
zier and Booth, and such was the pa
triotism of the citizens, and their anxi
ety to support the constitutional autho
rity of the people, that in a few hours
after the orders were issued, on the
evening of the fame day, Capts. Booth
and Frazicr, with their cempaniea com
pletely armed, were at the place of ren

numbsr collected—the two captains,
with 45 citizens, went on board the re
venue cnt' er, and proceeded down the
bay, examined fufpe&ed veflels, then
failed up to New-Castle, and examined
a brigantine lying opposite to the town ;
not discovering her to be armed, but
having regular 'papers—they then re
turned to Port Penn, where Capt. Dale,
and a number of his Light Infantry had
voluntarily afiemfcled, to co-operate with
the other militia, and after receiving the
thanks of the Col. for the alacrity and
spirit maniFetted upon this occasion,
were discharged.
