A gentleman in London afiures ire, that the exchange they have remitted to London, has been attached of government. We are told, that orders have been received at Halifax, not to molelt Ame rican vefiels. By an arrival from Halifax, we learn that the Schooner Del ght, Girdler, of Cape-Ann, on her return from Bour deaux, wa» captured by the Lynx Bri ti(h (loop of war, and carried into that port on the 30th November —her fate uncertain On the 9'th inft. when our in formant failed from thence. We hear that MefiVs.

Philadelphia, Decern. 30 Says a Ctrrefpondeni. The felf-created societies are accused of fomenting a spirit of jealousy and accusa tion agamlt the con it tuted authorities.— They puhiifh a manifeflo to clear them felvej from the charge, breathing the very spirit they are accuied of fomenting. If ai>y doubt had remained, their defence would have banished it. It is recommend ed to them to be quiet, to avoid all im pudent things in any defence of themselves, to let the public forget the licentioufneft of their resolutions, and not to provoke the contempt and detestation in which their conspirators are held. Calm and prpfperous times do not. favor them. Let then lie in wait till trouble and confufion threaten our affa!rs. Then they will be brL'k and aiftive. Then they will ride in the whirlwind and direct the storm. The United States and France are ft nig gling with the felf-createti societies. If both countries should defend thpmfelves from these Vipers, Republican Liberty wdl stand the more lecure for the conflict. A Correspondent enquires whether there was one member of the Democratic Clubs in the army which quelled the infur reilion in the Wefiern Counties, who went in the ranks as a piivate ?—Our cor respondent has been aflured from an au thentic source, that they all had offices, such as quarter mailers-gene ral, brigade majors, aids-de-camp, quar ter matters, with their deputies —in short, that the whole stasis of the Pennfylvanta line, was composed of members of the democratic clubs, or their supporters.— This our Correspondent supposes, will ex plain the afiertion in the Ddilor's Address, signed Henry Kammerer, when he fays— " The Democratic Society of Pennsylva nia could have made a quorum in the fiekl." A ■ the loaves and fifties were not thought of by the Democrats, their Dis interested patriotism shall never be forgot ten. Died The country people have no clubs to carry prints, and they universally detest them. They are very right in their tiews and conduct. For what do such cabals effect ? Plainly this, by intrigue and management in the cities to lead the country people by the nose. The Clubs have every where origi nated in ele&ioneering intrigues—or if there is any exception as to thsir ori gin, there is none as to their use. For all have been used for that end. Such inftitutioiis however poison the feuntain head of a Republican Government and as long as they continue, our elections will be more and more turbulent and corrupt. Let Clubs be banished and freedom of fufTrage reflored. The wo', ft men have the word means, againlt a government whichfor freedom in itstheory & purity in its adminiftrati 011,is allowed to have no rival. Yet such men, modestly call themfel/es The Re publicans, as if they were the only He publicans, and yet, they only, oppose the laws, and (lander the magistrates. Such incotififtency, and fuck impudence may pass for Patriotism in the regions of ignorance & ciedulity—and it is in such benighted parts of the United States, that they have gained influence and credit with the pople. In the moll enlightened paits and with the mod virtuous men, the national constitution and Government have never ceased to be refpe&ed and beloved, and Rever more than at this moment, when the clubs aiepublifliing their ridiculous ma nifeftoes. CANAL of LANGUEDQC. The Canal of Languedoc in France, was begun in.1666, in order to effc£t an inland communication between the Atlantic, and Mediterranean, and fi nifhed in 1682. From the Port of Cette, in the Mediterranean, it crofles the Lake of Thu, and belcw Thou loufe conveyed by three sluices into the Garonne. At St. Fereol near Re vel, between two rocky hills in the form of a Crescent.is a large refer voir, 7200 feet long, 4000 broad, and 129 deep > the whole furface being 687,438 feet, Into this basin, the river Laudot, which \ descends from the hills, is received and inclosed by a wall 2409 feet long, IJ J high, and 34 thick ; having a ttrong dam, secured by a wall of freeftone. Under the darn runs an arched palTage, reaching to the main wall, where thiee large cocks of call bras» are turned and {hut by means of iron bars ; and these cocks discharge the water thro' mouths as large as a man's body, into an arched tquedutt. where it runs through the outer wall, and when got beyond gees under tile name of the river Lou dot, continuing its course to the Canal, called Rigole de la Ptai ie. Thence it is conveycd to another fine reservoir near Nauioufe, 12co feet long, and 900 wide, and 7 deep ; and out of this ba fo it is couveyed, by sluices, both to the mediterranean, and the ocean, as the Canal requires it. Though the cocks remain open for fpme months fuc ceflively, yet there is ao visible diminu tion of the water in the great reservoir. Near Bezieres are eight sluices, which form a regular and grand cascade, 936 feet long, and 66 high, by means of which veflels may pass cross the river Orb, and continue their vdyage on the Canal. Above it, between Bazieres and Gapeftan, is the Mai-Pas, where the Canal is conveyed for the length of 72Qfeet, under.a mountain cut into a very lofty arcade, the greatelt part of which is lined with freeltone, except to wards the end; where it is only hewn through tjie reck, which is of a loft sulphureous fubltance. At Agde is a round sluice, with three openings, three different depth* of the water meeting there, and the; gates are so ingeniously contrived, that vefltls may pass through by opening which sluice the m?fter pleas es; an invention that llruck the great Vauban himfelf with admiration. This Canal cost something moie than half a million sterling, part of which money was furnifhed by tlie King, £ Louis XIV] and part by the states of Lan guedoc. The King generous by grant ed to Riquet the inventor and conduct or, and his male heirs, all the jurisdic tion and revenues belonging to it ; so that the Crown could not come into poffeflion, till the extifi&ion of that line. The annual income is Rated to be £94,500 sterling, from which, deduc ing the current expenfesand repairs, the annual net profits are upwards of 1 £24,000 sterling. The length of this Canal from Toulouse to Bezieres, where , it joins the river Orb, is 152 miles.— " The system of inland navigation" fays Mr. Svinburne, 46 has been so much im proved of late years, that I make no doubt but this Canal would be shortened many leagues were it to be undertaken afrefli. It is full of angles and turns that do not appear neceflary ; and, on the contrary, in one or two places, has been driven straight, at an enormous expense, through numberless obllacles when a (hort sweep would have convey ed the waters, with greater ease, and less expense, to the place of their desti nation. There are 15 locks upon it in the fall toward the ocean, and 45 on the fide of the Mediterranean. The high est point between the two seas is at Naurouge, which is elevated more than 200 yards above the level of each shore. The Canalis carried over 37 aqutdudb, and crossed by eighj bridges.

Extract of a letter from Turk's Island, da' ted December 1, 1794- 14 By a late arrival from windward, we learn that four fail of the line, in addition, under Admiral Caldwell, arrived the 15th of last month, at Barbadoes, after a ftort paflage, no more than 21 days. It seems they were dispatched in a hurry, subsequent to the failitig of a fleet with ten regiments on board, under a strong convoy. The whole naval force in that quarter, when collected together, will form a fleet t>f fif teen line of battle (hips, besides frigates &c. Extract of another letter from Turk's Island, Dec.

" An American brig, to day from Martinique, brings information, that four (hips of the line had arrived there without any troops, and had proceeded for Guadaloupe. General Vaughan was on boaid, and was to command the reinforcement of land forces, hourly ex pcfted from Gibraltar.
