MELANCHOLY.
Yiret have been more frequent in these Rated
for two or three years last part, than for many
former years ; to what carife they were owed;
perhaps it may not' be in the power of its indi
viduals to determine. Many iurtantel, however,
were of futh a nature, and to improbable to
have their origin bf Occident, as to leave little
OT no doubt in the minds of mog who witnef^
fed them, but that they were done by some vile
Incendiary, in the shape of a Human Form !=
The inftancos so repcateefin this place were of
such a kind and so mysterious, as to lead thd
minds of many to form such art opinion, and not
an improbable conjegure neither. But charity'
must incline us all to look as favorable as we cart
on our own fpecies,and trust and hope that note
are so defpefately wicked,and abandoned,fo loft
to all human feelings, as co set fire to the habitat
iron of his fellow man ! Another instance of the
kind occurred in this town, on the night bf the.

A letter from the late General Washington.
dated April 22, 1789, fays, " Tofpeak with a
bounds, ten thousand pounds will not corrmen.
fate the lot's I might have avoided by being de,,
hdme, and attending a little to my own con-'
corns. I am now receiving a foiling in the pound
in discharge of bonds, which ought co hive
been paid me, and would have realized before
I left Virginia, but for my indulgence to the
debtors." g, An excellent female of the patriot
ism and gratitude of tlx " exclusive patriots" of the
Ancient Dominion. Wbilft their immortal Country
man was braving death in the field, inflead of com
forting bis fixation, and protesting bis property,
they were contriving means to cheat bim of bis bon

An obliging correspondent yeftarday farniffi
ed us with a file of Italian papers to the middle
of January. They contain nothing of an inter
esting nature, except a Bull of the new Pope
against the looseness of female drtfs . To this
disorder he ascribes all the evils which have af
riiged Europe and depressed the church. He
fays—“ The e,e of a chriftian can no where
turn itfelf without encountering abashed, the
display of fedugi+e charms, in public and pri
vate; nay the very temples are profaned by these
indecencies, &c.".
We feel great fatisfadiou in announcing to
our readers, that toll evening, by great exer
tions, the Frigate Conciliation, which funk a
few days finc eby accident, was righted.—She
now lies on an ever, keel, and nothing remains
but to pump her out, which will not require
much time or tfoUble—for her hull is free from
injury. It must be doubly confolator, to every
friend of his country, to fee this fine frigate
fayed from deftrudion. This joyous event has
difllpated. the fears of those who conceived the
idea of railing her impracticable ; and we join
our patriotic fellow-citizens in applauding the
(kill and activity which re-established her, and
unite with them in a hearty with, that a like
accident may never again attend aoy veffcl in
our navy.
The late clediop in Connedicut, more than
any ond for several years past, evinces that the
people of that State are at length roofed to fee
the dangers with which they are threatened,
and to feel the importance of (landing to their
posts, for the defence of those venerable institu
tions and " steady habits," which have been the
foundation of their civil and domestic happiness
for more than a century and a half. There
have not been fewer Democrats chosen repre
sentatives for. their Legislature for several f.f
fions part. That party, at prefent,fems only
large enough, to be seen in retrogression.
How aptly was the fituatinn of that Scare de
scribed, by a great Republican* of thfs
city, last fall, on his return ifcm an unfuecefsfu!
attempt to revolutionize it. " Connedicut mud
be given up—There is no hope for them. We
may as soon attempt to revolutionize the king
dom of heaven. There is not a refpeCtihi#
