    FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Received at Alexandria, by an arrival fr m
Liverpool.
Constantinople, May 26.
The divifiosi of the second Admiral C-i
---dir-Bey, failed on the 22d of this month to
join tht captain Pacha. We known that
the latter has already reached Rhodes.
The flotilla which carried to Otranto
IjOO Ruffian grenadiers under the com
mand of General 8.-rnardin, dedined for
the service ot his Majelly the King of Na
ples, ptffed Conltantinopl? on the 17th, and
call anchor at Boujoukore ;it will imme
diately set {'ail in order to return to Sebafta
po!e.
The Pacha of Nicomedia, appsinted com
mander in chits of the troops lent against
the Brigands, and whodifcharged his milfion
so badly, wm so ignorant of the disposition
of the Porte towards him, as to return to
Constantinople, where he alighted at the
house of the Caimacan, or fuhftitute (if the
Grand V izier. The latttr received him
with apparent friendlhip and even gave him
presents, but having both afterwards gone
to the Seraglio to hare an audience of the
Grand Seignior, executioners presented
them lei ves at the fecotid gate at the instant
when the Pacha difroonnred from his horse,
and he was immediately beheaded.
We learn that the negociations for eva
cuating Egypt, have been renewed between
the Grand Vizier and General Kleber ; but
it is not expedled that they will be fettled
as soon as they were the firft time, and the
Turks flatter themselves, that thefecondca
pitulation of Kleber's troops, in spite of
their bravery, will not be quite so advanta
geous for them as the firfl. It be infi
lled upon, that the French troops, after their
arrival in Europe, (hall neither fight against
the Auftriatis nor their allies. Hitherto
the plague had carried off 2000 of the French
troops in E.;ypt.
BEHI.IN, June 7.

announce, that Kotzcbue, the celebrated
Dramatic Author, hae been arretted at Ri

LONDON, July 2.
At a very early hour this morning we re
ceived Psris J"urnals op to the 28th inclu
sive. They contain very little new, being
chiefly occupied w th more detailed aicounts
of the battle of Marengo. Gen. Berthier's
official letter reduces the Joss of the Auftri
ans in killed to 30CO, which is one half of
the number firll dated. 011 the 18th of
June the French took poffefiion of Tortoiia,
of Alexandria on the 20th, and the citadels
ol Milan and Turin were surrendered the
fame day. Genoa also was giv<_*n up about
the 20th, but some dispute is fa'd to have
arisen betwee.l Lord Keith and the French,
on acccunt of 119 fliip which were claimed
by his lordfliip, as having entered during the
blockade, and for the release of which he de
manded 600,000 livres (if,ooo (lerling.)
We are not told how the bufr'efs was ad
jured, but the character of Lord Keith, both
refpe&ing this affair, and his pretended ill
treatment of Defaix. when the Utter was
taken priforer, is spoken of with an indecent
fcurility, which does very little honor to its
authors. General Melas, with the whole of
the Austrian army, has marched towards
Mantua. The French are fending troops to
Lucca, and Genera! Moncey has marched
from Brescia to take poffeflion of the Val
teline.
There are no farther official accounts from
the army of the Rhine, nor is any thing
said refpedV.ng the negociation -with the
court of Vienna.
There is a report, which is not even cre
dited by the Journnlifls who have given cir
culation to it, and Which we consider as en
titled to no man iter of credit, that the Enif
lifli army has tailed in an attempt to effett
another landing at Qmbcron 5 and that its
loss on the occafion,in killed, wounded, and
prifoncrs, amounted to no less than 3000
men.
Policies have been undei written at Lloyds
at premium of tVvelve guineas to return one
hundred, in cafe preliminaries of peace are
signed between Fiance and Aultria within
two months ; and at a premium of twenty
guineas, in ca r e preliminaries are signed be
tween France and England within lix
months
On Monday fe'nnight, a match was
rowed fcr frotp the gun boat in Cowes
Ro d, round the White Buoy, off the
Brambles, and back, for thirty guineas the
Fo ntain boat ;;gain(l the Vine bo t,
which was won I y the latter. On the
following day they row d against the Foun.
tain bo t manned with four tayiors, and t! e
Vine boat with four ftieomakers, when the
Utter boat agin proved fuixtfsful. A run-
match afterwards took place» from Caftle
hill jo E ypt-gate—a lame (hoemakei
against a lame taylar, with a crutch eachi
which was also won by the latter.
July 4.
1 his morning a messenger arrived at the
Secretary of Start's office with dispatches
from lord Minto, ambaffodor at the Court
of Vienna When the mtffenger left Vi
enna, a courier had arrived there from Con
stantinople, with intelligence thatthe French
army under the coratnan I of General Kle
ber had been defeated in Egygt by the
Turks.
T his morning also arrived the Hamburg
miil due on Sunday lad. The intelligence
it brings from Italy is not so late a date as
to comprehend thofeevents which have pro
duced such a reverse of fortune in that
country. The latest date is Roveredo,
June 12.
In regard to the armies on the Danube,
there are accounts so late as the 19th of
June.
A letter frcm Ulm of that date speaks of
an adion on the afternoon of the 17th, at
Lecpheim, near Gunzberg, on the left bank
of the Danube, in a level country, where
the Imperial cavalry could adt with advan
tage. The result is not mentioned but we
are told that on tbe morning of the 18th
2co French prisoners had arrived in the
neighbourhood of Ulm, and that the field
of battle was covered with dead bodiec.
The French on the 18th fc rmed a semicir
cle on the right bank of the Danube from
Illordi'Jen to Gunxburg. Ihe pofuions of
the Aurtrians extended from Wurzach
through Biberach to Ulm.
On the 17th ult. the following extraor
dinary phenomenon was difcovercd at Co
penhagen ; —From one till hall past two
o'clock, P. M. a clear whte ring, one de
gree and an half broad and 86 degrees in
diameter, p.'fled through the fun, at the
centre, a piece of rainbow coloured ring.
Fife degrees above this circle two other
funs was seen, that appeared to be parts of
aii imperfe&ly colouied circle. T e cele
brated aftrcnomer, Bug e. has lately pub
lifted his obfervatiens upon this (uhj ft,
adding, that this phenomenon will have no
uflueuce upon the future Itate 01 the air
and weather.
Tuesday morning was f>iught the longex
p-fted battle between Andrew Gamble, an
Irishman. and Noah Jaines, formerly belong
ing to the horse guards, for a ftalce ol 100
guinea;, upon Wimbledon C mimon, at no
great d 1 dance from the spot where are exhi
bited the rtmains of the notorious Aberlhaw.
There were depending on this match bets to
the amount of five t oufand pounds. The
combatants set to about ten o'clock in the
morning, Gamble having for his ferond Ben
jamin StoneyraJ, and Bartholomew for his
bottle holder. Jane's second was Joe Ward
and liis bottle holder H <ll.
The. two champions fought with astonish
ing si rcmefs (kill and dexterity, tor no lets
than thirty roundr, when viAcry at length
declared itfelfin favor of the Iriihman. The
odds were at farting fix to foui in favor of
James, but after an half an hour's hard
fighting, were ten to one in favor of Gamble,
who displayed an uncommon degree of
science and coolness throughout the whole
affair. Gamble is r.ear fix feet high, but
by no means so (lout in his make as hi» ad
verfary,who was Ihorter in his flatute, but
so determined, that he fought seven rounds
after tiis coil«ir-bone had been broken ! !
James vomited a great deal of blood at al
most every round towards the conclusion,
and was taken for dead from the stage.
James, who is a Chefhireman, is 32
years old. He ha» fought fevemteen pitch--
ed battle*. The molt desperate was that
with Wood, of the Guards, for one hour
and sixteen minutes. It was a contest of
great dexterity. James is very excellent
bottom, as the following fafts prove : On
the 12th round, his nose was broken—on
the 20th, his collarbone ; on the 25th, his
jaw bone ; and on the 29th his brest bone.
Notwithftandii g all thefr diftallers, he
fought two rounds afterwards. James was
last night given over by his physicians.
Gamble, now called the Wimbledonian
Vifior, is 29 years of age. He was ap
prenticed to a stone tuafon in Dublin. He
has fought eighteen pitched battles, with
success Wis mod severe contest was in
; i;92i with i?toneyard. of Birmingham.
They fought at Colchester wi.h great (kill
ard aftivity for an hcur and twenty minutes.
They were, however, so completely ex
hauftcd, that it was agreed to make it a
drawn battle. These heroes of the fill have
ever since entertained the utmost friendfhip
for each other ; and Stoneyard on the late
occasion, a£ted as second to Gamble, who,
in the course of thirty rounds knocked his
\ opponent down fevenieen times.

important services which you have rendered

and sincere thanks for the protection which
has so universally been given to its trade to

The knowledge of your being about to

to be guided by perf >nal fee ings ; but the
long and tniifome dutks which have been
accompltlhed by you to the ho' or of the

Sir,
Before your departure for the U. States
permit me to expiefs to you, the high sense
I entwtain of the important services you
have rendered the American Ci-mmerce, 1
during your contiruance on this station. 1
The prudent and judicious manner in which
you have diredted the * peration of the squad
ron under your command, and your vigi
lnce and arlifity, in protesting the trade
to this colony, do honor to you as an offi
cer, at the fame time that they add dignity |
to the American flag.
It is difficult for persons at s distance, 1
unacquainted with the arduous nature of the
talk itnpofed on you, to appreciate your
services as they merit. But those of your |
fellow-citizens w}io, like rryftlf, have had
an opportunity of knowing your indefati
gable exertions to promote the interetta of
y ur country, and make its flag refpecled,
leel it their duty to express their approba
tion, and offer you their acknowledgments.
You are about to leave the Uation, fir,
but, permit me to assure you that you quit
it, to the rrgret of all that know you, and
that you carry with you the ardent, and dil
interrfted widies of all descriptions of people
in the colony for your happiness and pro
sperity.
The friendly couafel, and liberal co-ope
ration I have at all times experienced from
you, in conducing the public interests have
in a great measure contributed to place our
I commerce with this colony on its present
fafe and favourable footing, and to maintain
the good unrierftanding which so happily fub
llfts between the two countrits. It is this
dignified condudt that has imprefled the in
habitants of Sr. Dotnlngo with a high idea
of the American charadter, has conciliated
their affeftions, and produced an attachment
to th« gjtiverri inert t of the ynitcdi State?,
which in all probability will become lading
and permanent*
I have the ftonor to remain with (ulcere ft;
attachment and with the greatest rcfpetl and

way, Mr. Danikl P. Knight, merchant,
of the Northern Liberties, to Mist Anne
Vansant, of this city.
The frigate President, Commodore Trux
ton, only waits for a fair wind.
The frigate Constitution has arrived at
Boston.
We are credibly informed, that property
to the amount of nearly Bco dollars, was
destroyed by the late fire, at Mr. Penning
ton's Sugar Houle. which we are happy to
learn, will press but lightly on tiie worthy
Individual, as the whole property (building,
as well as Stock in TraJe,) wereiufured by
the Insurance Company of North America,
a proof of the utility of an Institution,
whereby Individuals, for a trifling Premium,
maybe made perfectly fecurc, from loss. by
fire. 1
For the 24 hours preceding WedneOay
morning at fun-rife, there were 29 new cases
reported at F.-ll's Point—Whole number
sick, 101, exclusive of 15 at the Hofutal—
lii the fame 24 hours there were 19 death*
in Baltimore and its vicinity.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Bal
timore to bis brother in this city, dated
August 27.
" Although the number of new cases of
sick persons at the Point is confiderablr, the
health of the city remains uncommonly
great, as I am informed by all the physicians
and old inhabitants T meet with. I confefs
I fell great confidence that this eity will re
main healthy, and that business will be good
notwithstanding the many falfe reports cir
culated abroad."
E'xtr d of a Utter from a resp Sable inha
bitant in Norfolk, dated Atg Jl 10.
" The Fever has raged with us for three
weeks past—Many have left the town, and
bot few will venture in from the country.
When it will be better God only knows I
reckon it is full as bad here as it was in your
city in 1793. Business is totally at a fland."
The writer adds that he himfelf has had
the p' evailing fever ; but applied rem dies in
the early stage of it and had recovered.
A gentleman who arrivfd at New York
on Tuesday eveningffom Providence, R. I.
informs, that at the time he left that place
the yellow fever had made its appearance
there with very Vanning fyrnptj 8 ijeven
had died, and 14 were sick. It was the
prevailing opinion that the fever was com
municated by the frigate General Greene,
now lying there. The Providence paper of
Saturday, received by mail, tikes no notice
of this eircumftance. [We under, tend let* -
ters baie eeen received in tlis city, confirm
irg the above.]
A letter from Curracoa mentions that
the " Ver.geavte is ready for sea <ind we
are happy to add, that 1 ruxton is or. the
point of weighing anchor. A second meet
ing" is the general taatt."
Extract of a letter from Mr. Fenwick to a
gentleman in Salem, dated Eourdeaux y
June 28.
" We doubt not in the least but that the
present negociatiori on foot at Paris between
the American Commissaries, and this go
vernment, will have a happy iflue} and that
a cordial intercourse between the two coun
tries will shortly take place."
The Baltimore Board of Health, in their
address t® the public, h ve acknowled rd
that a disorder now rages at Fell's-P > nt, of
which there were no less than 115 sick, at
the time of writing, though they suppose .
that but 12 of the number were d.ingerous.
This disorder the Boird denominate an in
flammatory bilious fever, and ascribe to.
certain local causes, which they observe may
be removed, and not to any " imported or
human contagion." But whatever may be
the origin of the disease, the name they
have chosen to dillinguilh it by, is the fame
that Do&or Ruth has applied to the malig
-1 nant fever, that has he. n To fatal, at differ
ent periods, to the health of Pliilad. lphia ;
which other phyfieians call the yellow fever
of the Weft-Indies ; and which fad expe
rience has taught us to dread as one of the
heaviest of scourges.
While we sincerely congratulate with the
citizens of Baltimore on the report, that
this disorder, call it what they please, is so
mild with them this season ; we apprehend
that, if by any means it Ihould be brought
hither, it will be difficult to persuade the
inhabitants of Philadelphia that it is not a
foreign malady, or to prevent them from
being as much alarmed, as if it were in*
ported in a ship direflly from St. Domingo,
It would be a folly to dispute with the
Health Officers of Baltimore about the phv-,
fical cause, or the technical denomination of
their disorder. This is a theme on which
Dottors differ ; and there is no controuling,
or accounting for the oddity of opinions.
There are whimsical geniuses in PhiladeW
phia, who fearcli for the itftroyer in our
