BY THIS DAY'S MAIL. NEW-YORK., August 22. Yefhjrday arrived at .this port, the fiiip Polly Capt. Tracy, from Loudon, last from the Downs, 36 days. We have received the Londort Daily Advertiser and Morning Chronicle to the firfl <>f July ;but the ac . counts they bring frbm the thea'tre of war are not so late as, the we pub li(hid from our French papers 011 Monday / —they however contain a variety of matter thst have not yet appeared in the. An icrican prißts, which we will occafion alty extract. The accounts of the right wing of th? army of Moreau having forced the of the Damfbe between Bleinheim and Dil - lengen, in which the Auflrians were fevere'y beaten ; the honours which the French Government are preparing, as a testimony of national gratitude, to the memory of general Defaix ; and a few other articles of lefllr note (rnoft of which were anticipated by ou.-Pirs Journals on Mondiy and Tuesday l .fl) c mprife nearly the whole of the intelligence these papers afford us. It w:,s rumoured in London 011 the 30th Jitne, that a messen ger hetj, arrived there from Cruxhaven, charged by Buonaparte to make a renew r<oß6 to<the courtW Great-Britain for peace*.

June jo; TRIAL OF HADFIELD. , After the examination of a number of witnedVs, Lord Kenyon »(kfdMr. Erflcine if he had many more ; Mr. Erfkine said about ten or a dozen. Lord Kenyon then said, that in hii opini n the evidence that had been produced went clearly to prove, that .the; Pnfoner was certainly in a deran ged (l ite. If the attorney General, and the Counsel tor \he Piofecutinn were of that Opit»on, it woufd be needless to go any fur. ther. The Attorney General said, t' at he did not wist to press the matter; he f«w it in the light that his Lordlhip did, and did not for a moment conceive that a talfe colouring had been given to the* cafe by the evidence for the prisoner. Lord Kmyon then told the Jury, they mud acquit the pnfoner, as his infinity was proved , hut he mufl not be difthargrd; it was ibfoluttly nrceflary, as well for his own lake, as.for the fake of the community, that' he fl)"uld not be let loose on th« public. The Jury immediately returned a Verdic* of Acguiita! 011 the Plea of Insanity. Tie prisoner was then remanded, under the care of Mr. Kilbv, to Newgate. The prifoiwr appeared perfe&ly calm and Collected, (during th<? whr.lr of the trill) un til the entrance of his Roya! the Duke of York, when he leaned over the Ihoulder of Mr. Erlkine,exclainiing, "Oh ! how J love 1 How I love htm - ! God bless him !" But on Mr. Erflcint-'? di-firing him to be quiet, he recovered himfelf immediate, ly, and did riot speak another word nor did he, feetn to be at :»ll afl" fled during the re mainder of the proceedings. There is no tvnth (fays the Morning Chronicle of Jt}ly I,) in the report of a per son having heen dispatched to this country by Buonaparte. Last Saturday we received papers to the l6th inft.

That movement, we observed, would oblige Gen. Kray either to quit hi entrenched camp at Ulm, in order to force the eremy to repafs the Danube, or to free a paflage for himfelf towards Donawarth and Ingalftadt ; othcrwife he would be en closed in the fame manner that Melas has been ia Italy. , Mr. Wickhamis at Vienna —Col Clin ton, during hib abf nee, attends (lie armies Mr. Melvits was sent off on Saturday with dispatches to the Earl of Elgin at Con ftantinoplc.

As i'oo-Ji as his dirty tricks came to light the ciitiff fled. He. had not au dacity enough to encounter public scorn ; nor had he a patron daring enough to pro te'ft him, in defiance of law, juftioe, and common decency.

If the buduiTs of appointments go on i le M-Kean, it will be nothing strange, if iv; a few years we fee some of the citizens of Botany B-.y on the Pennsylvania bench of jiilfice ; and the British, inflead of trsnfporting their convidts to the utmost bounds of the globe, fnould let them port themselves direAly to Philadelphia— where the miscreants are not only a (Tired of a fraternal reception, but may expert honourable, promotion.

I 1 is remarkable that in neither of the late difcuflioni of Mr. JefFrrfoi>'a cha mber, do we meet with the ynoft ci v.- us of his disqualifications 1 mean that unfrttled Hate ot brain anj of rpmion, which has so constantly diverted those with whom he has been molt intimate. In /hort, the celebra ted whirligig chair which lie invented pore ly to chtcn the eddying motions of liis wa tery brain, by a c< unter turn for every oc elli on, shews that lie is liirnft If acquainted with this general defe "*, which is perhaps the chief cause of all his other derange ments both ideal and »r»flical. Mr. JefFerfon has also invented a table, which in less time than you can lay bocus & > f us S Wl " m f" ,rn become either a circle, a triangle, a fqu.ne, or a polv<ron in any of its varieties. But, what is most rem rka ble in this gentleman, who is a kind of Jjck at all trades, his inventions have ge iieraliy been better fuiterl to any thing than to the objeft for which thev were intended. As it may not be fair to tell tales out of school, I will not mention any part of his philofophiral ledtureS ; they are generally charaiteriflic : so much 'o that when C >l.
