PHILADELPHIA, April 5.Yesterday morning 'arrived at this port the

fchoonei Recovery, Pierce, in 10 day's from

Pert Republican. The accounts by thisvcffel rtlpecting the operations of the Frencham.y are varicjus and contradictory. TheCP'itiin informs, that the day previous to hUsailing 4000 Tick and wounded troops from thearmy of Le Clerc, returned to'Port Repub-lican, amongst which were three French ge-

net.lis. He says that Le Clerc was in pur-A- ut

of Touiffaint, who was at some distancefrom Pert Republican, in a strongly fortified

pUce in the mountains ; that the French hadbeen fcveral times defeated with loss ; butthat Le Clerc was preparing to' reiiew theattack, with the expectation of forcing Tou-lffa- nt

to surrender in a sew days.We have seen private letters from Port

Republican, dated the 16th March, whichare wholly silent on every particular of theabove intelligence.

Late news from St. DomingoBy the schooner Recovery, Pierce, in 14

days from Port Republic, we learn verballythat the day before he sailed, (16th March)a. transport with 300 wounded soldiers arriv-

ed there from St. Marks, where two Frenchflnps of the line made their appearance. Theblacks fufpe&ing that they would take theplace went on board the American (hipping,took out the crews carried them into the moun-

tains, and msffacred about seventy of them,amongst whom was capti Reid of the schoon-

er Rover, of this port, whose veffel was

burnt at St. Maiks.It was also stated, that a severe engage-

ment had been sought about 5 miles from thatplace, in which the blacks were victorious,they having killed two generals, and woun-

ded Le Clerc, the commander in chief. ThecLy before the Recovery sailed, Le ClerC'swise arrived in a 74 from St. Maik's.

NEW-YOR- April 2.The Briiifli Packet, Earl Spencer,

capt. Cotefworth, arriyed yesterday in34 days from Falmouth, brings EuropeanIntelligence as late as 24th February,when the definitive treaty was not ratifi-ed. No particular reasons, as far as wehave been able to trace, are afligned forthe-dela- attending the negotiations at

Whether any impediments havearisen on the fiibjeft of the island of Tri-nidad or what is more probable, on ac

count of the late extraordinary events atLyons, time must disclose. A treaty ofpeace has been "cdncluded between theFrench republic and the regency of Al-

giers on the 17th December last where-by all former treaties are confirmed, andthe French republic 13 restored to all theprivileges in the same manner, and on thesame' conditions which France enjoyedbefore the rupture.

A letter received by a merchant inFsnrhyn, from Gibraltar, dated 14th ult.contains the following paragraph :

" Best part of the expedition from Brestis at Cadiz, torn to pieces." It is fuppo-fe- d

that these are the Spanifli fliips onlywhich sailed with the expedition.

The following particulars of the late events inEgypt, translated for tbc N. York Mkrcak- -

flLE ADrtRflSER,from a Paris 'paper ojtot twenty-secon- d January, 1802.

Cokstantinople, Dec. 9.Tni Porte, ver since the beginning of

the war had secretly determined to alter thegovernment of the Beys in Egypt ; and tosonceal this project still more effedtually,everydemonstration irom the grand Vizier and theCaptain Pacha were wholly calculated to pei-fua-

thent of their approaching. .

evacuation of Egypt, fevsn ofthese Beys were invited to rapair to Alexan-dria, that they might advifc upon the projectof their ; they very readilycomplied with the request. They were re-

ceived with marks of the highest diftindtion :

but the Captain Pacha soon intimated to themthat it was the will of the Porte they Ihouldrenounce forever the government of Egypt.He at the same time, informed them theywould be removed to Constantinople ; aflur-in-g

f hem however, that not only no attemptwould be made against their lives, but eventheir station in the Ottoman empire would notbe less brilliant, ai it was the intention ofthe Porte to preserve their properties, or equi-valents, to them, and moreover to invest themwith honorable offices.. The same affurances were transmitted tothe general in chief Hutchinson.

The grand vizier being apprized by an ex-pre- fi

from the Ottoman admiral, that he hadmade sure of seven of these beys, caused allthese' within his reach to be arretted. Mea-fnr- cs

were so well taken that in less than anlibur, these late rulers of Egypt, were in hispower. Two of them only, Mehemet EIfyBey and Aboudiab Bey, weic able to maketheir escape. The first was in upper Egypt,whither he had been sent to levy the imports.His recall, under some pretence, raised a dif-tru- st

in his mind ; and inflead of drawingnear Cairo, he had retired towards the inte-rior, of the country. Aboudiab, encampedin a village near Digize, beimt informed ofthe disgrace of his colleagues, betook himfclfto slight ; but it was not known which wayhe went. Several other Beys have attemptedto make their escape,but bodies of treopj R-ationed at various diftancei, have feizedthem.Other detachments have been'fent in mirfuitof the Mamelukes of the two fugitive, beys,lome 01 wnom were every day brought in :

many have perished in making refinance.The grand Vizier held to the Beys the same

language as the Captain Pacha.This conduct has excited warm remondran-ce- s

on the part of the general in chief Hut- ---chinfon, and a new circumflance has determined him to take a still more active part inthe cause of the Beyi.

The Captain Pacha had contrived to per.fUade those in his power, to go on board oneof his frigates ; boats were taking them there,while, during the paffage, the Beys began torepent of their too great confidence, and tosear some violence might be exercised towardsthem when once on board of the frigate.They commanded the officers who conductedthem to turnback; the officers alleding1 gtheadmiral's orders, refused complying with thirdemand. Upon which the Beys took to theirarms to compel them ; a conflia enfusd, inwhich foilr of the Beys were killed, arid threewounded ; several of the boatmen experiencedthe,same sate. t

On the first intimation of this catastrophe,Gen. Hutchinson having ordered his troopsunder arms, addrefl'ed the mpft pointed re-proaches to both the grand Vizier and Cap-tain Pacha and manacingly demanded of thelatter to deliver hira the three wourfded Beys.

The Ottoman admiral, in attributing th"?misfortune that had befallen the Beys to theirown fault, and to their unfourided suspicions,justified hirffelf in tile riieafures tofecure theirpersons, on the frrength of the order he andthe grand Vizier had received from the Porteaster affurances had been obtained that theccfurt of London would not intermeddle inthe refolutlons of the Turkish government on

that head, and that the intention of GreatBritain in sending troops to Egypt were mere-

ly to affift in retaking that province, leavingto the Porte the entiie management of cftab-lifhi-

whatever form of, govctnment hemight think moil suitable.

Since these events advice has been receivedof the grand Vizier having sflembled at hisresidence the Beys in his power, and having-- '

even contrived to persuade Mahemet ElfyBey to return to Cairo, and succeeded ocon-in- ce

them of the neceffity of submitting tothe Porte, and has renewed to thtm the faldpiomifes and affurances for the safety of theirpersons and properties, and of the prefcrva-tio- n

of a brilliant station for them in the Ot-

toman empire ; and in qrder to give to his-wo-

a more sacred and irapefing character,he has sworn to the observance of it on theKoran, which he caused to he brought beforehim. He peifcmed this action with greatsolemnity. These meafure.s of the grand Vi-

zier have been productive of the happiest efrsect ; the Beys have agreed to renounce Egypt and to proceed to Conftautinople.

&Capt. Truxton has resigned his commif-fio- n

in the navy. We understand thsreason of this resignation was, that 'hecould not have a captain under him onboard his fliip. The secretary of thenavy has given the command of

deltined for the Mediterraneanto commodore RichanT V. Morris. .

J would wifli to be informed,is it was your liberal Tenements M'hicb.

urged your appearance in public, as an enemyto human literature: and lest to me the trou-ble of correction But hail: ', let me tell youa story. Two gentlemen deists, that is, menwho renounce with the" utmost contempt the ,

supreme laws of heavefrlmd earth, and theirauthor, finding the weakness of then-- own

when they met with men of libeialdetei rained to supply their defect in

their fuLceffors. Each theiefore had a foaliberally educated, that they might meet thelearned world with equal force, but more ef.pecialiy that class of men who taughtthe va-

lidity of the supreme law.' The fathers sullyconfident of the abilities of their Ions to ex-po- se

the Christian religion. For this purposea splendid entertainment was prepared ior a,pompous affembly. An aged clergyman w as ijvlted tobecome their first victim. The learnedgentlemeri occupied the chief seats, and tb.erest were all attention when the debate arosebetwixt the divine and the young heroes.A text of Sciipture was unjuflly quQJed'bythe young gentlemen as a topic of debatethe divine informed them the text was notcandidly repeated they insisted they had quo-ted verbatim, which he as positively denied.A Bible was called for but here the gentle-man's poverty appeared he had. none how-ever in searching one was sound among hisservants. The text was examined, and wassound in savor of the divine. Thus ended,their first enterprize, and lest no.fmall degreeiof anguish t6 the difappdinted fathers and th'mortified fbns.

Whert the young gentlamen retired they-justl-

concluded they were too precep'itate intheir first adventure. T,hat notwithstandingthey had a complete collegiate education, yetthey had never made that b'ook called the Bi-ble their study. They therefore agreed to givethe Scriptures art attentive perusal, Ecto expe-dite this deiign, each of them took a partof the New Testament one the Evangelistsand the other the Epistles They retired fora considerable time to execute their purposeeach was convinced before their next inter-view. When met, each seared the ridicule-o-

that I am convinced they are the Word of the!Living God." The latter replied, " I rejoiceto declare I perfectly agree with you in t."

Their fathers instead of being gra- -'tified, were chagrined and disappointed thebonds of friendship were drawn more closelybetween the young men--an- d resolving to ne

as much as in them lay, for their basedesigns, each took the portion of Scriptureafligned him, and wrote a comment thereon.Vhe application is cafy :Permit me therefor'e-t-o
