Last Saturday evening the ship Parion, of Philadelphia, Capt. Peleg West, put into the Hook, in distress for provisions, main and foremast sprung, 8 weeks from Dunkirk bound to Philadelphia. Passengers Mr. Francis Macy and family, in good health. Crew also well. Capt. West left Dunkirk on the 10th August.
He brings but little news--says however, that the English account of Charette's having 30,000 men, was false: on the contrary, that there was no possibility of his making head against the Carmagnoles in their present spirit. That accounts of Peace with the Empire were every day expected: General Pichegru was laying on his arms, had not crossed the Rhine. That the crops were all in, in as great abundance as was ever known--provisions were plenty, and much cheaper than in New-York; meats of various kinds not more than 3d. per pound.--No market for corn, nor rice. Eight brigs lay here armed with 18 and 24 pounders; business brisk.
