Judging tho convoy to be in perfect fatety, as you was in fight from the will head, I inade the signal for them to make thebift of their way towards you, hauled my wind, and came to an anchor in Mi coni Road, within a Tittle more than a cable'* length of the French Commodore. I immediately sent to him to desire he would ftrikehis colours, and to surrender to his Britannic majtftv, or thy I should fire into him, He fern me for answer, that he was well acquainted with the force of my (hip, that he was well prepared for me both with men and amunition, and that he had made oath never to ltrike his colours. By this time he bad placed his Ihip between me and the town of Miconi, which obliged me to carry out another an chor, and warp the (hip further a- head, that roy guns might point clear of the town. At one P. M. I got a-breaft of him, and, having secured the fliip with springs on the cables, I gave him a broad fide, which he instantly returned. The adion laded, without a moments inter million, for one hourand fourteen minutes, when I had the fatisfattion of feeing the national colours hauled down, and of tak ing pofleffion of her and the merchant men.

NEW-YORK, Otfober 7. The publishers of a work in Eligland called " The Female Jocky Club, or, a flcetchof the manners of the zg-," have been prosecuted for publiJhing a falfe and defamatory libel on Lady Elizabeth Lut trell, and found gu'lty. At the close of July the fubferiptions for the relief of the -wounded seamen and thewidowsoffeamcn killed in th elate naval engagement, amounted nearly to fixtcen thoulind pounds sterling. A fubfeription is on loot for the relief of the fufferers by the latfc fire at Ratcliffi The East India Company, loft, in the late firt 20,000 bags of lilt petre. No country can exhibit such rapid im provements, as the United States have funiilhed since the eftablilhmeut of the na tional government. One of the firft ef forts of American industry, after the war, was the scheme of opening a naviga ble canal at the falls o£ Patomack ; and our firft citizen, the President of the union, became the patron of the arts of peace as he had been the hero of bis country in war. That greaj work is nearly accom plished, and as a paflage for boats is ex tended within a few miles of the navigable waters on the weft of the Allegany. A similar plan for opening the naviga tion of Connecticut River, at Hadley falls above Springfield, is in great forwaidnefa. A beginning is already made, or will soon be made, to effedl a limilar plan at Bellow's falls. In M«flachufetts, measures are taken to effeifla Jtfnfftioh of the' waters of the Mer rimak, with those of ChaffeT Kiver. The plan of opening between the Sc Hulk il land "the Delaware, and conne<fliug the the interior of Pennsylvania, is in a state of {irogreflion. Measures have been taken to open a communication of the Hudson with the Mohawk and the lakes on the weft, and with iake Champlain on the north —and we have no doubt that a business of such immense magnitude will be carried thro' every obstacle. If we examine the bridges of Boston, Salem, Newburyport and Haverhill and in New-Jersey j if we attend to the Cpt ton Machinery of New-Haven, New- York, Paterfon, Beverly, ice. with the manufa&ures of duck, cards, nails &c. we (hall be aftoniihed at the enterprize and industry of our courtrymen ; as well as that sudden fife of capital from the fund ing of our debts, and the eftabliftunent of credit.
