miral Berkeley had sailed for the Capes of
Virginia, and that he was very much con-
cerned at the late conduct of commodore
Douglas and other officers under his com-
mand, on the American station." Mr. Jas.
Bulley came passenger in the Weymouth ;
he informs us he was carried off in the cha-
racter of a pilot, in January last, by the
French 74 gun ship Foudroyant, and that
¦the commander thereof treated.him in the fol-
lowing cruel and unjust manner, viz. " Land-

all his services ; that he was rendered in a
great measure unable to support life, owing
to a severe cold which he caught while on

SATURDAY, AUGUST 7.
Captain Mayne, of the brig St. Croix
Packet, arrived at the Lazaretto, informs,
that-before he saiied, the British Packet ar
rived there, which brought intelligence that
Bonaparte was about concluding a PEACE
with the powers of Europe ; but that Great-
Britain would not be admitted to jointliem,
unless the treaty of Amiens was unequivo-
cally aeknawledged by that power. The
British packet brought papers to the 24th
June, but they contain nothing material.

Extracts' of' letters from Uavanna- dated Ju-

house, in Charleston.
" An order was issued from the irftend
ant to the colk-ctoi of the customs, to ex-
amine allgoods in the custi at pre
sent, and such as may enter hereafter with
instructions to detain for the present, such
as may appear to be of English manufac-
ture, uiitilfurther orders. This is the first
step towaHs a general prohibition of Eng-
lish manuf.Glure ; but .we presume it haidly
possible, .t'h|J our government will proceed
to extremities until d-e notice shall have
been given to your merchants, through the
medium of your -newspapers.".
" July 13. - The order we mentioned in
ours of the 1Ot.l1. has been put ii)/p execu-
tion, and all the English merchandize or
manufacture in the custom-house have been
detained, but we apprehend they willbe dis-
patched, and that tor some time, to come
their introduction will be winked at. This
utep of our government has its origin in the
high admiral's order, published in your pa
pei-5, for we understand it has not been re
ceived here officially ; but until your mer-
chants get further advices on this subject,
they will do well to suspend their shipments
of English goods."
FORTIFICATIONS AT NEW-YORK.
'We have given, in our late numbers, se-
yeral interesting papers on this subject, writ-
ten by gentlemen of celebrity, and first pub-
lished in the New York prints. Everyone
has evinced eagerness in the common cause ;
•and it was necessary impartially to give the
speculations of all. This evening we re-
publish col. Williams' plan. It seems that
after having heard all propositions on the
important subject, the commissioners have
commenced the work. The following is our
authority, from the last number of tire New-
York Evening Post:
We understand that government have at
length begun to shew they are somewhat in
earnest. Their attention it seems is first
directed to Governor's island, in a line with
Ellis' Island, where laborers are now em-
ployed, making and sinking blocks from
the point to the edge of the channel.
„Qn; the subject of defending our city, so
far as .wis? have lad an opportunity of hearing
the opinion jof men most capable of judging,
have found them to coincide in the belief
that .we shall re.qnire extensive fortifications,
like those pediaps recommended by Gov
Lewis, with the aid of ships of the line, as
well as of gun-boats.
It woujd seem that the commissioners ap-
pointed to superintend fortifying the port
¦of New York, have not thought proper to
?dopt any of the numerous plans that have
been presented for tJieir consideration ; but
are going on upon the old original plan of
their own, ani have actually commenced
-building and sinking blocks from Perkin's
jPoint 6h Governor's Island, to tbe edge of
the channel. On this point, we understand,
is to be erected a strong fort, which will
mount SO heavy guns and upwards.

Mr. Hewks,
lathe only country now known, whose
H>l»abhants enjoy unbounded religious toler-
ation, 'where no one persuasion, or society,
rnay claim ct precedence at court," it'is pe-
culiarly grating oh trie ear of a serious fn*6j
to hear, levelled at the society of which he
is a member, the indecent epithets too often
on the tongues of such persons as are them-
selves not very friendly to religion of any
kind, Indeed, sir, plain morality, and a
proper respect for our fellow men, should
teach mutual good will and forbearance with
each other. None of us are perfect) and
perhaps he Who indecorously laughs at an
inoffensive and a good citizen, is more to be
pitied than he is aware of.
These, sir, are reflections which were
Caused by reading in the " Evening Post"
of last Tuesday an account of the number of
Methodists in (treat-Britain. They are, in a
sneer, stiled " Religionists." Pray what
kind of religion?^ is the person who so un-
advisedly, and without provocation, thus
presumes to cast illiberal epithets at this ve-
ry numerous (and, I may add, respectable)
Society? It would be well for the editors
of that paper to be cautious.
The following is the article.
" Methodists —Fmm the Minutes of the
" Northern General Meeting of these Reli-
"gionists, held lately at i.eeds in England
" we learn, that in Great-Britain their agre-
" gate number amounts to 110,303, and in
"Ireland to 13,773."
If the above was intended to ridicule the
disciples of Wesley, the writer very much
needs the prayers of every true
'-METHODIST,
OUR VOLUNTEERS.
The Aurora, -hose editor always knows
every thing, gave same days since a very
foolish (or worse) statement of the Baltimore <
Volunteers. One of our brother editors
corrected him. with pr rnptitude and spirit.
Still Dunne (for he will kno v more than
any other person) goes on with his mistate-
msnts. In the Aurora of yesterday he says
he received a letter from Baltimore, cover-
ing an account of our strength ; in which
it is stated that we hive twenty-five volun-
teer corps. From our statement yesterday,
in which we may have omitted some, there
werejlfty companies. These, allowing 80 in
each, will amount to fourtheusand volunteers.
The Philadelphia L"gion numbers 816!
How jealous is Colonel Duaue. Pity he
were not a little more correct.
In the ranks of the Baltimore Volunteer
Legion, v.t find citizens of all parties, and
able-bodied men from different and distant
climes. Party-is there unknown. The in-
juries of America have called them to the
training ground : the enemies of America
dare not meet them in the field.
We would wish to avoid all kinds of in
vidious comparisons. But we freely join in a
well merlied compliment paid to the Hiber-
nian corps of Union Greens ; the spirit of
this company affords a sure pledge of dev'o
tior, to tlie country of their adaption, a
pleasing emblem of which is seen in the
happy design on tiieir colors. This design
is attributed to Mr. Thos. Moore, merchant.
