Captain Stanwood arrived on Thursday in ten days from St. Bartholpmew* informs, that he left Martinique on the Ift of July, instant 5 that on the afternoon he failed from thence, a British packet arrived there in eighteen days from Falmouth, the Cap tain of which assured him that on his pas sage he fell in with a British frigate, the Captain of which informed that he was bound to the firft port in England, wth dis patches from Lord St. Vincents, dating, that the Brest fleet was out, cenfifting f fifty-one fail of the line, betides fmallervef fels, and requesting a reinforcement. It was added that another infurre&ion had broken out in Ireland whicS had afiumcd a formidable afpeft, and occafioncd considera ble alarm to ihe Britifli Governjieot. Captain Stanwood further informs, that on the day he failed from St. Bartholo mews (the 14th inft-) a French ce tleman •' Captain from Bordeaux, gave him a written article in French, which sta ted, that he had just received information from Point Petrc, Cuadaloupt of the ar rival there nf a French corvette, in nine teen days from Bourdeaux ; and that the news she brought is as follows : .«• That the negotiation between tie Amer ican CommifiioMers and the French Republic had terminated amicably ; all differences fettled, and a peace conclu ded that General Buonaparte had ar . rived before Genoa, in time to reliev* General Maffena ; that Buonaparte had t made prisoner» of three fourth's of the Austrian troops under command of Gene ral Melas ; that Italy was entirely in ihe pofleflion.of the French; and that (he French General Moreau. had, in a ihird battle, defeated the Austrian troopi on the Rhine,"—and further, that order« had also arrived there by the Corvette, prohibiting the capture of American vis. fell." The above intelligence, so far as regards the relief of Genoa, is confirmed by the following : NEWS FROM ITALY. Sa^em—Friday evening, 9 o'clock. Brig Essex, capt. Orne, has just »rrived fr.om Barcelona, via Gibraher 32 days from the latter. Capt.O. brings the important new s of the detest of the Austrian Army of obfer vatioli, left by Melas before Genoa, while lie went to meet Berthier \qith the army of Dijon. It is said the defeat was comulete and took place on the 18th of May. There had been a previous battle- Genoa was not in so fuffering a condition as has been re presented. The above news is brought on Ihore by boats which have been along fide of the EflejA I (hall fee the opuin when he lar.ds, and endeavor to obtain further par ticulars. From tbe S.tlem Register, Oil Friday evening arrived her? the brig FtTdx, Joi. Orne, i—fr®ni Barcelona, via Gibraltar—3 j days from tlie latter place. Accounts were received at Barceolna the day before Capt. Orne failed, May 23, that 011 the 17th or 18th of May, Gen. Maffena made a fuccefst'ul fallyfrom' Genoa, and killed and took a £reat number of Au ttrians. The repprt was general believed to be true at Barcelona. There was not the leal} probability of Genoa's falling, as great reinforcement*, were marching to its relief. The City wasconflantly supplied with Grain *nd Provisions by flat-bottom'd boms from Barcelona, which from their conftru&ion Could fail in fliore, and of course out c f the reach of the guns of the blockading (hips. There was an expedition goinf> 011 from Gibralter, from whence Gen. Abercrombie failed the 12th of June, with two regiments of foot and two of Cavalry. Its defoliation was unkuowr—but ftippoll-d either for Genoa or Malta. j The French privateers have ceafcr! trou bling our vefTeis in the Straights, unless ar med, or bound to Gibralter, which is block aded by the • Spaniards, who take all veflels bound there. Accounts by Capt. O. we un&rftaiid J'sve. been received, tliat the King of Span 11 i oclamation had forbid tlie further pii*h cies on the American ./Commerce by the Gun-boats from Algeziras, &x. SC7* T he pveccding information, so far as it rtfpefls the failing of the Rreft Fleet, and the conclufinn of a Peace with France, may be true, indeed it is highly probable ; but the vague and bombastic ftaterrent rtTpe&ing the operations in Italy, seems entitled to very little credit.—Let us compare the accounts from S ilern, with thole received a few days ago,'at N. Y. Cap. Orne, arrived at Salem, left Barce lona, the 23d of May, and the day before,, which was the 22d. accounts had been received that pji the seventeenth or tigb tee itb (obfervc the dates) the Auftrians were entirely vanquifhrd by Maficna ; —now, let it be remeinbefed, that by the Retaliating arrived at N. Y. from Lilbon we have accou: ts, (publilhed in this Ga zette on Thursday lafl] dating, that when flie left Lisbon, May 26, a packet had arrived, the day before, May 25, in six days from Genoa, with information of the Fall cf G noa ; now, that Packet mud have left Genoa, the Nneteentb of May, one day after the .battle is laid to have taken placeany further comment is unnecelTary. A letter of the 6th June, from a refpea. ab.e house in London, to a gentleman in Baltimore, fay 3, •' the general opinion is thac a peace will immediately takt place." We learn that the Seleft and Common Councils of this city, at a late meeting, have parted a rcfolution, direding the City Cojn milfionprs to cause all the gutters within the pa' ed parts of the city to be complete ly scoured at lead three times in every week. This salutary regulation is to continue in force until the firft. day of Oaober n«xt. ExlreS of a Letter from a G ntleman at St- Kith- ti his friend in Portsmouth, da ted June 2 2.
