A few days ago, a Gentleman was amusing himfelf in (hooting fquirreis, about 5 miles from Salem, in Jersey date—after having difcliarged his gun at one of those animals, he was sud denly attacked by a furious black bear, which ruflied from a thicket about ten yards from him, growling mod hide- ouflv. The Gentleman immediately fought his fafety, by the nimblenefs of his heels, having in his fright dropt his piece— the bear followiog him in a kind of a running dance, sometimes on his hind feet. The sportsman almost petrified with fear, his course being (topped by a swamp, was obliged to retrogade— which gave him an opportunity of ob serving that the bear carried the gun he had in the fii ft moment of fear left be hind him—and, menacing him in an attitude which created suspicion it re called the remnant of his reasoning fa culties, and seizing a huge branch of a tree, he returned upon his antagonist. At the firft blow he brought the mon ster to the ground, which, after heaving a heavy groan, fee mod to (truggle as in the agonies of death. Having soon after met with some countrymen, and lelating the story they returned to the spot. On examing him, they found concealed in the mod artful manner under a bruin's (kin, a Human Being,' weltering in his blood from the contulion he received on his head.— They raised him up, dnd with the as sistance of a cordial, they brought him to hi.nfelf. It appears he is an unhappy maniac, who makes his periodical visits in this City and neighborhood, and that 'his was his firft exploit in his new charac ter.

By this Day's Mail. Tejlerday arrived here the Jhip Minerva, Capt. Scott, in 42 days from London: Papers to the tsd Augujl, are receiv- cd by this arrival. The following Extract of a letter from Flushing, dated the 6lh instant, we give oa the authority of a Morning Papei : " Particular infoimation is received here, that the Emperor Is in treaty with the French ; that he hat offered to re sign his pretentions to the Austrian Low Countries, and even to Luxem bourg, on condition that the French would afliit him to re-conquer Silesia; that he will resign his pretensions to Liege. The French are deiirous that the city of Maeltricht should be com prised in the country of Liege, and this is the reason why Cobourg has taken up bis position in that quarter. "The French have taken Philippine, and we eati fee from this the smoke as cending from Sluys. The Deputies from Arrrfterdam have declared in the States of Holland, as they were no lon ger in a state to defend ttiemfelves, that it was time for the Stadtholder to> de part, as the only means of laving H011a.,-.." 1a.,-.." Dispatches from- tht HagiJc were re ceived on Thursday night at the Dutch Ambaflador's. These, it is said arc not of the moil consoling nature. The Dutch. seem panic-struck with the ap proach of the French, that they are un able to make atiy vigorous preparations themielves. "They therefore talk of e vacuatmg Breda and Macftricht, at be ing untenable for a fufficient number of trboos. The Paris irewfoapers, including the Moniteurs, up to the 10th inftsnt, have the following particulars: "An account of a brilliant vi&ory, gained by the French army of the Western Pyrenees. " Flight of 15,000 Haves, before 6,000 Republicans, to whom they a bandoned 2000 prisoners of war. "Seizure of immcnfe magazines from the-Spaniards, containing ii,ioomuf quets, 200 pieces of ordnance, tents for 2500 men, &c. " Particulars of the capture of the important fortrefs of Fontarabia, with 50 cannon mounted.on the ramparts, several magazines, 35 shallops. &c. " New lift of prizes, four of which, valued at from four to five millions, are arrived at Brest," &c. &c. ' * Santerre, who had been persecuted by Robespierre, is now a constant at tendant at the Jacobin Club. M. Laharpe, a man of letter*, im prisoned during the Di&atorfhip of Ro befpierrc, was set at Kberty immediately after his overthrow. The Abbe Syeyes, although he doe* not ostensibly come forward at this mo merit in the Convention,-neverthelefs di reds the proceedings of Tallien. From the good sense and moderation of th: Abbe much is expected. Such of the Piedmontcfe as fall into the hands of the Frcnch are exchanged for (heep. Since the fall of Robespierre, we have no accounts of executions in Paris, except those of'Membets of the Com mune and Officers of Police, who abet ted him in refilling the decree of Ac cusation. The long lifts of convictions by the Revolutionary Tribunal, that have appeared in several papers, were some days prior, to the execution of Ro bespierre. The Committees of Public aitd General Safety have new-modelled that inhuman tribunal, on a plan that BOSTON, Oft. 13. LONDON, August 13. bring* it much nearer to a regular Court of Ju£Uce. The Convention fee-ns anxious to ilop the viclent pio cei dings in the fe»er;il Depart merits, and to liberate all the p.ifouess, ugalntt whom there are not such strong pre emptions of criminality a$ to juftify bringing them to trial. How long they will persevere in this rational course, we pretend not to fay. Mr. Pitt, I ord Morningtoo, Mr. Jenkinfon, &c. uted to fay, in the course of lafl Seflions, that the Government of Fiance, of which Robefpicrre was at the head, was the molt fonguinary and tyrannical that ever exiftecf, and that, if it was overthrown, the people would rife en majfe in favor of Royalty. That government then is difi'olved—but have the predictions of these great flatclinen been fulfilled ? 56 3 537 400 A gentleman who has made a very accurate calculation of'the number of Frenchmen killed by the Treasury prints since the opening of the campaign of 1792, finds that it amounts exactly to 4,776,000 men, exclusive of the odd hundreds of which the above papers have always difdaincd to take any ac count. This gives us a very pleasing profpeft df peace, »t the helium ad in ternecionem, must cotifequently be draw ing towards a conclusion. On the lßth Thermidor, (Aug. Jth) 20 waggons, filled with the treasure of Belgium, arrived at Paris. VERBAL ACCOUNT. By a paflenger in the Minerva, we learn, that the armies of our Friends and Allies in France, were extending their conquests in every quarter .of the German and Spanish dominions—that Bilboa was in their potteffion—That the merchants in London poffefflng pro perty iii Amsterdam, could not get it insured for 12 p'.T cent.—Premiums of 15 guineas and a silver watch were of fered to such as would enlist andfi};bt to protect the heads of European Kings— That there were continual mobs, wtit> had destroyed 30 houfea where they had kidnapped men for the army— That tin: French had behaved very ho norably to the Captains, of the Ameri can veflels, and had paid there fully for freight and demurrage of their (hips; a polite example worthy the imitation of the " amicably disposed Mmiftry of Britain," who make ample and ftnr promises to the American Erebaflador, to award those claims which are reiifoiia ble. If they have their reason, Ameri cans may thei) expedt to have- jutiice done them. The Prince of Hefle Phillipiihal has written to his father from Lisle, that he has fallen into the hands of the ene my, in the engagement of the 6th ult. but that lie had received no wound. He had the misfortune to be sur rounded by the enemy, in the moment his horse {tumbled under him ; but that he had no reason to complain of the treatment he receives. Ind. Chron. COWES, Aug. 17. A large American (hip camc in here and anchored yesterday morning: (he failed from Bred on Tuesday last.— The news of Robefpierrei execution was received at Brcft with great joy : but the desire of having the Republic elta bliftied on a firm basis is universal. They would make peace with the English people, they fay, but never with Pitt. They have 25 fail of men of war riding in the outer harbor of Brest 5 they are ready for sea but badly manned, nor do they intend to ri(k another general sea fight: they thot' the last a very rash bu siness. They are fully acquainted with their loss and talk of it every where. THE POLES. We understand by Capt. Parsons, from Peterftmrgh, have defeated the Ruffian gun-boats, in the Vistula. From Guadaloupe, We have various accounts —some men tion the arrival of a Britijh reinforcement there, and that Point Petre had surrendered tb them—Others that Grand Terre was in quiet pofleffion of the French, twenty five days since. \IEGAL ADJUDICATIONS. Letters from London, as late as the 4th August, affirm, that the Courts of Admi ralty in Great Britain have adjudged on several American veffela carried in there, ordered them to be restored, and giving them freight, demurrage and ejtpences. This has been doni to American veflels bound to France. Contrail this eondufl with the mean artifices and avarice of the courts of Kw-Admiralty at Halifax, where cargoes have been condemned without any allowance of freight or other compensation —and fee the difference ! The schooner Success, lately captur ed by a boat of the Concorde's, has been decreed by Judge Lowell, to have been unlawfully captured and restitution or dered, An appeal from the judgment hag bean made to the Circuit Court, ivhich is Ihortly to meet in this town.

Admiral Murray, who left this city in the Cleopatra frigate on Monday, failed yellerday vith his squadron from Sandy-Hook. Ycfterday morning Mr. Hammond, and suite, left this city for Philadelphia. It is reported with confidence, that in consequence of the Statu quo agree ment between Mr. Jay and the British miniltry, Maj. Campbell has evacuated the Fort at the rapid! of the Miami. Extract of a letter from a refpeSablt mer chant at Amjlerdam, dated the 7th Auguji, per the Jhip Adriana, Capt. Fitzpatriei, arri-ued at Philadelphia, to hit frlnd at New-Tori. " People in general seem to be very composed not with (landing the French are approaching daily, and no one ap pears inclined to take flight from this spot. It is as if we were sure that the enemy (whom we sincerely wifti at a distance) cannot, or (hall nor overtake, or come to us." Daniel H. Braine, mattery and Perry E. Noel, James Young, and Daniel Conrad, cabin paflengeri of the (hip Fannys being duly sworn, respec tively make oath and {ay—that, The (hip Fanny, Captain Braine, bound from Greenock to this port, be ing on the morning qf the I2ih inlt. about seven miles off Sandy Hook ) — the Africa man of war who was then crui/.ing in compauy with the Resolu tion and another Biitifh (hip, fired a gun, which the Pilot, who was then on board, taking for a iignal to the Fan ny, thought it fufficient to hoitt Ame rican colours, as he was unwilling to lose the tide. This, however, not fatis fying the Africa, she again fji?d, upon which the Fanny brought to, but op report of another gun, the ihot of which struck the water, at no great diftane'e, she wore to meet the Africa; a boats crew from which, with an offi cer, came on board the Fanny, who af ter examining the ships papers & crewj again returned to the Africa. The fame boat however soon returned with ! two officers, who took* about fduiteen of the pafTengers into the boat under pretence of being examined by the Captain, persuading them, that if they were lawfully permitted to emi grate they would immediately be fct at liberty : bpt to their Utter afloniftiment 7 of them were retained togethef with the second mate. The Captain was also ordered on 1 board the Britilh (hip, but as they af figncd no reafoiT why he should do so, he lefuied ; upon which the boat with what passengers (he had repaired to the Africa. In a (hort time tiie boat re turned once more to demand the (hip's papers, although as we have mention ed, they had been already examined.— Captain Btaine thinking it proper to be the bearer of his own papers, went on board hitnfelf, where he met with the most gross treatment, merely fur an swering to the different questions put to him by Captain Hnme. He fatisfied the Captain of the Bri tish (hip, that every passenger he had on board, was regularly examined on oath, passed the custom-house at Greenock, & again from the Polly, tender, in her pas sage down the Clyde. He likewise as fured him that his second mate, whom he had taken, had lived in America many years, and acknowledged to be a naturalized American, even by the law of Great Britain. Notwithstanding all this Captain Hume; declared, that he found it ab solutely neceflary to ad in a more de termined manner, and that, although these men were permitted to emigrate, by the laws of their own country, he conceived emigration to be so ruinous to Britain, that he would make laws him felf. That henceforward he would ftoj every veffeithat had paflengerj onboard, and take out all British fubjefts except merchants carrying out goods. Ht further declared, that he believed al the American captains were in fke ha bit of paying a certain sum to every in dividual that would emigrate to Ame rica ; and even more than inlinuated that they were kidnappeis. Hslookec upon the Amei icans he said to be great er enemies to Britain, than the Fi er.cl themielves—ln short all his actions anc conversation discovered a fpiilt pecu liarly malicious towards America.
