(and who, Brought the Foreign articles which appear in this day's Regifler) left Hiinburgh the 15th of September. He' fayhe had not heard of the of Amlterdam, and nothing appears of it in any at the papers whach he has furmfhed. The following is an of letter from Madrid, dated Sep. 6 "I am informed that an ejttraor-dinat) courierfrom Italy has brought news that Genoa was evacuated by xnerrenen, alter tlie battlemiwh'ch Joubert was killed, and is riow in poflfefiion of the allied army lOther details jof that battle are come to hand, directly from Genoa by way of Barcelona, and give us to iinder-fland, that the aftion was long and obftinate that Perignon (formerly ambaffador here) in the bcgilnning gaineda very confiderableadvantage, haytng taken nearly 2coo prifbners, butJ in the end, was wounded and taken prifoner that the bzjyonet decided the affair that was killed that the remains of the rench were attempting to retreat towards Nicf, but that a corps of the allied army had been detached with a defign to intercept their Thej Aurora, Capt.

The following is an extract of a lcter from Capt. Alexander Murray, of the Lifboj, bept. 16, 1796. 44 1 lull immediately leaved this place to, cruize eff Cadiz and Xlge-ziras, and from there to Maaeira, where I hear our commerce has, been greatly idiitrelled by French 'I; had 30 days paifage to this port, though I could have been here three weeks, biit for cliafing every thing we faw, all of which we overhauled, except one veffel which we loft fight of in the night. Since paffing the Azores, we have boarded thirty velicls of diftierent nations, but the greater part and met with but one Bntifh ftiip of war, from which you may i judge 01 the unprotected itate ol their trade, as yell as our own, in thole leas.

I am told here, that vait numbers of corvcHes and privateers have ilfuea from the ports of France, fi nee the fleets get into Breft. I hope we fhall be able to give a good account of fome of them, Thc-Sufannah, Capt. J. A Smith, from Baltimore to was boarded off the liland of Abaco, by theBrrtifh fioop of war Arab, Capt. Cape I.

After looking over the log-bottk and papers, Captain C.I fent foutteen men and two officers to take poflelfion of her, it appearing that on a former voyage fhe haa carried articles which were contraband of war. Finding however, on the pre lent occafion, that every thing was right, the cargo was and the hatches were again ieciirsd. The officers and men be-ln ftijl on board the Sulannah, faw the (Arab give chace to another vel-feljj upon which they determined to give chace alfo, and come up with it before the Arab. In vain Capt.

At a time when Cosigrefs and fe-veral of the S'ate Legi flat res arc a-bout to be in feflion, wc think the following, in our opinion, whole-fome Advice to Legiflators cannot be unacceptable to our readers "By Legiflative Bodies, public liberty is preferved and whoever has the honour to fit in thole afTeta-blies, accepts of a mod facrcd and important Truft; to the difcharge of which! all his vigilance, all his application, all his virtue, and all his faculties are neceffary and he is bound, by all the conhdcrations that affecl a worthy mind, by all the ties that can bind a human foul, to attend faithfully and carefully upon this great and comprehend ve duty a duty which, as itjis honeft- Iy or faithlersly executed, determines the fate of millions, and brings profperity or mil'cry upon nations. When a pernicious question has been carried, it is a poor excule to fay, was vot there." Why were you abfent Was it not your duty to be there And were you not bound, by the folcmn and awful truft you undertook, tot. be there? Had you been at your poft, this pernicious law might not have paffed, nay, might net have been attempted or if both, you would have acquitted yourfelf, and have had the honourable teilimoriy of your country, and a good conscience. Legislators are fet in a high place as Public Stewards and Guaids (the bqfb and only fure Guards that a free country have) to watch for the public to fettle the public cxpenccs, and to defend public and private property from the uncltan and ravenous hands of harpies; arid tney arc obliged, by every facred tie, to adhere to their ftati on and truft. 44 He who does not prevent evil when he may, in efFe'tt commi it, by leaving others at liberty, to do it.

Some Leg ifla tors have boafted that they never voted wrong; but, do not fay how often they have been out of the when they fnould have voted right, and have oppofed others wno voted wrong. It is obferved of Cato, thr younger, 44 that he alcvavs came ft ft to the Stjiate and left 'it laft." Idc entered upon the huhriefs of the State ids the buimels of every honeit man and confidered the public as the proper obje-t of his care, zeal, and attention, and xiot as a bank of his own private wealth, or a fource of pcrr lonal honours. He thought it an hideous reproach for men, who are gifted with rcafon, arid by it luperior to all other creatures, to take lefs care of the Society to which they may belong, than, iuchjnfccts as Bees and Ants take of their hives and common iloies. He never pielerred private intereit or plealure to that of the public and no coniideration witheld him from attending faithfully in 1 he Senaie. Here is a virtuous and lluflnous example, which is parti- cularlv recommended to all Leaifla- tors, who ought ever to bear in mind, 44 that Liberty once loft, is fcarccly ever recovered almojl as rarely as Human Life when it is once tximguijlied." By the brie Alert.

Capt. Thomp son, arrived at New-Bedford, from Oftend, in 45 days, verbal accounts (ay, infurrettion fliews its head in ipany parts of France, particularly, in the iouthjp nro vifions were, however, plentiful, and to be purehafed at a reaionabte-pirtce, but articles of foreign growtb vere high.

Gen.

After a good deal or conversation on this point, the qualifications were proceeded with.1 Afterwards, Mr.

It is faid that 3000 bales of 260 pounds weight each were raifed in the weU tern country and fhiped from New-Orleans in the -year la ft paft. The total weight is 80,000 pounds.

The lands in.the fouth parts of Virginia, are capable of producing cotton. In North Caroling it is bro- duced with eafe and certainty, cfp'e- ciauy in the middle and weitern counties.

P. Heath and Mr. R.
