On the 14th of August, was executed
at Swabmunden,nearAuglburgh,Ger
many, a woman aged 38, whose crime
is ofa nature calculated to fix the atten
tion of those who study mankind. Be
tween the isth of January 179^ an d
the 2d of November 1801, this woman
set fire to the town of Swabmunchen,
fifteen times, in consequence of which,
50 houses became a prey to the flames,
and a great number of persons were re
duced to poverty. Several individuals,
on whom suspicion fell, were sent to
prison, but at length, happily for them,
the real criminal was discovered by a
laborer, who caught her in the fad —
Her name is Maria Frankin; after 7
examinations, in which ffie denied the
crime, (he at length, on the eighth, con
feffed her guilt, and pleaded in her juf
tification, that from her youth, she had
been tormented by a violent penchant
'to set houses on fire ; that she had re
sisted mis desire for a long time, but at
length overcame by her passion, she had
burnt the houses alluded to, without
any end in view, and without any rc
rnorfe This woman, in other refpefts,
had conduced herfelf with great pro
priety, and did not appear 10 be de.
ranged in her mind. She was behead
ed, and her body burnt.— Lon. Pap.

A Proclamation.
INDIVIDUALS who have a proper

Almighty and Benevolent Parent of

received and petition for such as they
mav stand in need of : arid as the prof
peity and happiness of States and Ni
t'ons are dependent upon the lame Al
- 'htv Source, and we have been dis
a; established and highly laudable
police of this State, I have thought
fit by and with advice of Council to ap
rait THURSO \Y the Twenty-fifth
Do ofNovember next to be observed as
r lay of Public ThahkfgLving and
piaver throughout this State ; and I
co earnestly recommend to ministers &
' ple of every denomination, that
' ' religiously dedicate laid Day and
1^ da reasonable part thereof in their
refyedive places of Public Worship,
th? we may with grateful hearts and
toe devotion unite in celebrating the
IT fes of our Divine Benefador for
• innumerable Mercies -particularly
fir Civil and Religious priviledges
with which we are so highly favored—
For the measure of Health we enjoy—
For a comfortable supply of the Fruits
of the Field—For preservation from
War—and for that prosperity which
1 attended the labor of our hands
our lawful undertakings by sea and
! and - and above all tor the continu
ance of the Blessings of the Gospel of
Peace, Truth and Righteousness.
And while our Hearts are filled with
gAdnefs at the remembrance of the lov
ing kindness of the Lord, let us with
humility acknowledge our unworthi
ref—confefs our transgressions, and
breech Divine direction & guidance
hat it would please Almighty God
tc ave the Government of the United
Sv es and those of the ftveral States
under his holy protection—that he
would rule our Rulers, teach our
Tochers, that they may have wisdom
to uiiccrn and integrity topurfue such
measures as shall tend tohis glory gnd
the lading welfare of the people—that
all ranks and orders of Men may right
1< estimate the Civil and Religious pri
v^edges we enjoy, be presented from
debifive pursuits, and remember that
they are accountable to the Divine Au
thor of these Blessings for the manned
in v-hich they use them—•
That he would bestow his blessing
on the, means of Education and public
Indrudion, that Virtue and ufeful
Knowledge may be more and more in
creased —
That it would please God to bless
this State—dired and prosper our Civ
il Government —That all Superstition
and Hypocrisy may be done away,and
thrt Religion which is pure, peaceable,
gentle, andeafy to be entreated, full of
mercy and good fruits may be under
stood and pradifed throughout the
World.,
^ uiih;i as a People by innumerable
rn^ks of Divine Beneficence, it highly
b Uries us to unite together at certain
: d seasons in our I'hankigivingy,
?. fes and Prayers.
Therefore in compliance with the
And it is recommended that all per
sons religiously abstain from labor and
recreations unbecoming the folemnicy
of the Day.

Although we have taken uncommon
pains to learn the fate of the Maine E
le&ions, yet we are unable to give the
public any fatisfaftory intelligence. —
The failure in Boston produces sensa
tions most unpleasant. While we give
full belief to their assurances that the
numbers of Washingtonians have not
diminished, yet painful, painful indeed
is the reflection, that the capital of
New-England, with a majority of 700
Federalists, should fuffer a democrat to
be elected.—But we hope a consequence
diredly opposite to what is generally
feared will ensue — The horrid catastro
phe should be rung through every State,
thro' every town and village,—fhould
knock against the very heart of every
man of sentiment, and prove to all eter
nity a solemn warning against that
dreadful apathy which ruined the
faireft republics of antiquity.

A Southern gentleman lately paid a visit to
Col. Pickering, at his firm in Essex. He found
this worthy, tho' much abused citizen—not su
perintending a set of ill-fed and worse-clad Haves
—not amusing himfelf with cock-fighting,horfe
racing, or hunting far popularity in a tavern or
grog-(hop —but literally, like another Cincina
tus, guiding the,lough, while two of his Sons were
bffifting him in his rural labors. Such is the re
ply which this celebrated citizen makes to the
many slanders which the irifatiate, unrelenting
malice of political enemies are ever uttering a
gainst him. Instead of retaliating their invec
tives, he lives down their calumnies, and by his
conduct convids them of fallhood and of mal
ice, (AT. r. Spßator.

Mr. THOMAS SIMES, aged 42, A worthy,
ufeful, refpedable, valuable man. Beloved as

Commingled with the dull, where PARRYfee, $;
When, 10, a fecund Brother joins tie dead !
And 10, a second widow'd Sifter, weeps !
Nor weeps alort; a Mother's feeling heart.
Is pierced ! And many a Sifter's gentle form,
Bends as the lilly, trembling in the form ;
