The following letter oil this subject; is put into bur hand by a respectable gentleman, dated Sahiy lifloX, July 29, 1804. Since you iefr, I have witnessed the greatest iusult tKit could be offered to a na- tion. The British frigate Cambrian detained for some considerable time two in- ward bound vessdls while, within two miles of American, land. In fact, I am informed by the person wh keeps the light-house, that no vessels inward or outward bound, Tj'ass without molestation and that within the jurisdiction of the United States.

If this be permitted, we may expect shortly tliat our vessels will be. taken at our wharves' The following particular account of the capture of the English sloop of war Lilly (mentioned in our last) has been given by Mr. Norcock, the purser, I leave to acquaint you bf rhy arrival here this day with the remaining officers and crew of H.

Half past9 the one hoisted English colours, which, we returned, passed to wind- ward: tacked pn our weather beam, and cast the vessel she had taken in tow of three quarters past she edged away, taking us for a merchant vessel we shewing no guns and having a temporary poop rigged to decoy her. At 24 min.

She still kept (taken every advantage of our ungovernable state) under our stern, raking us fore and aft with her bow chase guns, and 109 me-a of musquetry, making sundry fruitless attempts to beard till noon, when she pissed to windward, on which we gave her the whole of our larboard broadside, laying us athwart: hause, raked its sundry times, which I am sorry to say, deprived us of the assistance of the whole of the officers on deck Lieutenant Fowler being the last who fell, giving directions to strike the colours: the shin then lavinlr aiserfectll1 log on rhe water running; rig- Mint 1 ilp 1 I fn isi.irAr i c- and yards severely wounded, in this state the enemy made another desperate attempt to board, which they effected on the bow sprit with upwards of 100 men, and the fee-ble resistance we were then able to make, having then i8 men out of our small number (being only 76 at the commencement of action) killed and wounded.

The hew.ad-ministratiM does not appear to be ultimaiflforixied. On the 6th JtwipMri Fox had an interview anfhour and an lialf with 'Mr.

Pfttf at his Jiojtse)p)owning-streer. The natureibr result of this conversation was fnot publicly known, but was supposed to relate some important communica tion" about to be laid before Par-! liamerlt by the Minister, upon which Mr. Pitt had deemed it necessary and essential previously to consult Mr. Pitt re-, ported to Parliament the 5th his much expected bill for the more effectual defence of the country. It was opposed by Messrs.

Fox, Windham, and Addmgtori. It was expected that a powerful op position to it would be made on the second reading. Mr. Livingston remained in England. The civilities he receives from men of eminence are extremely flattering.

He was to return to -France the latter end of June. It was not conjectured what had been the object of his visit to England. The Emperor of the French has passed several acts of indulgence since he entered on his new office. He has liberated individuals condemned by the correctional police, who were only confined for the payment of their fines and expences also certain state debtors. He has also granted a marriage-portion of GOO francs (about lOOg) to a poor and honest girl in each arron-disement communal of the empire and a pardon to all the officers and soldiers condemned to hard labour for desertion.

Late accounts from Ireland, represent that country as still in a very unsettled state. Martial law is enforced in most of the counties, and the military are said very much to abuse the power with which they are entrusted. A letter dated Dublin, 5. and received at ladelphia, contains the follow- By proclamation every mili- tarv officer, from a cenCJ to a ser" geani, is empowered to seise UXi person of every one suspected of want of loyalty. This authority has given the mililia a power so uncontroled, and they use it with so much licentiousness, that men ol the first respectability are daily dragged to guard-houses, their property destroyed, and in many late instances, theiftamilies violated in a manner that would shock humanity to hear of." The following is an extract of a letter from a mercantile house in Cork, dated July.

Jerome Bonaparte. -It appears by the. legislative acts of France relative to the establishment of the Empire, and the elevation of the Bonaparte Family, to the imperial dignity, that the brothers Lu-cien and Jerome are not admitted in that part of the arrangement which establishes the hereditary succession. In default of male issue from the families of Napoleon, Joseph and Louis i the Seriate is to appoint a successor. It however appears, that all the brothers are raised to the rank bf Princes, and that four Imperial JPalaces are to be provided for their accdmmo-dation in different parts of the mpire.

Our little Baltimore beauty has of course been elevated by her marriage, to the sudden and unex pected dignity of a Princess, and in the event bf certain contingencies, may with the good will of the Senatus ConsUltum, give future sovereigns to the Empire. The Prince and Princess are now at Boston. 7" is said, that two persons by the name Davis and Wilson, who vere cu'pmitted to Bridewell b- the Coronerln w-Yo'rk, for refusing to give evident0 10 tne jury summoned to inquire into he cause of Gen.

The ves sel was condemned and the cap tain is now in Confinement. At the 4th Meeting of the American Company of Booksellers, held at New-York, June 18th, 1804, the following Resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the premiums to be offered for the year shall be, a gold medal of the value of fifty dol lars lor the best specimen ot printing, not less tkan 300 pagesj executed on American paper, and with American Ink, and the edi- I part, to consist of not less than 500 copies, all executed in the same style.
