occafon to the flr:W, the diDlDaed arid ambitious
to disseminate dangerous doctrines, and excite cla
mour and fa&ion. These men detest the government
we have chosen.—They are disappointed men and
would feel their mihdsconftantly irrigated at behold
ing the triumph of their enemies. They are fawning
cringing men who mi^ht poinbly influence the unthink
ing among us. They would therefore be continually
exciting and fomenting divisions.
They are, to a man, attached to monarchy ; we
would not therefore render them so unhappy as to
permit them to live in a country where they could
have no idol of a king to worship.
It may be thought surprising that we should eXprefs
compassion for these men—but we feel it—and would
not therefore deprive them of a certainty of support
from Great-Britaio, which they have loved so well and
served so faithfully, for the precarious hope of living
among a set of men for whom they have always ex
pressed the utmost rancour of contempt. Great Bri
tain mutt take care of them, if we refufe their return,
if we consent to the admission of a few, it will be a
fufficient reason with that government, to refufe sup
porting and affixing the rest
For these reasons, we require your punctual attend
ance in the general assembly, whenever this matter
ffiall be agitated and determined —that you refufeyour
consent to the admission of these men among us. and
that they be confider&d in no other light than as aliens.
We are different men from them—we have taken dif
ferent fi'des —and we remember the days of old !

ALBAN Y, May 26.
Last Friday morning at 9 o'clock, tne inhabitants
of this city assembled at the city-ball; in order to de
termine whether veffela coming from the city of New-
York, should have permission to trade here or not : on
the queßion being put, the people unaoimoufly deter
mined in favour of a free trade. They then proceed
ed to the docks, where two (loops from New York
were lying, and having given permission to the mas
ters to expofc their goods for (ale, assured them of
protection both ia person and propertv.
On the 16th inflant as Mr Joseph Mayal'(an inha
bitant of Tryon county) was passing through the woods
between Cherry valley and Thurlow, he was met by a
ferjeant and two privates of the British, who told him,
he must go with them as their prisoner. He marched
with them as far as the Sufquehannah-river, where
Saving concluded on a place for fording, it was agreed
that the tallest. should venture ever firft, which being
effected, the other two were preparing to follow, and
laying down their guns and packs in order to fix
themselves, Mayall Matched up one of the guns, and
with the butt of it, knocked them both into the river.
The private man, as soon as he recovered made the
best of his way across the river, but the ferjeant turn
ed round, and endeavoured to seize again upon May
all, who with the gun that was in his hand fllot him
(the ferjeant) through the body, and taking with him
both their guns, returned fafe to his own home.
Mayall was a prisoner with them 24 hours, he fays
they were formerly inhabitants on the Mowhawk-ri
ver—that they had left Niagara on rhe 17th of April,
at which time they told him, no official accounts of
peace ha+arrived there.

The general assembly of Maryland, at their last (ef
fort, passed an aft to invest the United States in Con
gress assembled, with a power to levy for the use of the
said Rates, certain duties on imported foreign goods,
nares and merchandizes, as a fund for the payment
of the debt contrasted by Congress during the late war.
The (hip Achilles, captain Pique, from Rochfort
bound here, on her passage up the river, unfortunately
flruck on the cheveaux de frieze, whereby the (hip
fuflained so much damage as to be in danger of finking:
but by the timely assistance of a number of the inhabi
tants of the Southern liberties she was saved.—Messrs.
Terra ffon Brothers and Co. (to whom she was consign
ed) together with the captain, take this opportunity of
returning their best thanks to the gentlemen of South
wark, for the very great and unremitted attention
(hewn by them in preserving from dedruaion a valua
ble cargo. They conceive tnemfrives greatly indebted
for this kindness, and acknowledge with gratitude the
real Cervices rendered on (0 interesting an occafioß.
The eaflern and southern papers contain accounts
of numerous arrivals in their harbours from different
parts of Europe and the Weft-Indies. This port also
seems to have attracted the attention of our foreign
Commercial friends in a particular manner, no less
than ten (ail having entered it on Sunday from foreign
parts.
A remarkable meteor was observed at Richmond,
in Virginia, on Saturday the gift ult. in the afternoon ;
and, from the violent explosion, if is conjectured that
it must have fallen somewhere near Peterfburgh, where
it was felt more violent. Its direction appeared to be
from North to South.
We hear that another embarkation of his Britannic
majefly'smerft faithful and loyal fubjeds, the refu
PROVIDENCE, May 24.
Captain Isaac Brown, in the (loop Abigail, of this
port, arrived here on (Vedaefday last, in 16 days from
Hifpaoiola. He informs, that when he failed the
French troops were preparing to .leave that island, and
that the Spanish fleet, and a part of the French fleet,
had failed.
