zlpril 23. Europe can at prefect boast of three
Potentates, in whose breasts philanthrophy shines with
a luftre not equalled heretofore. Frederick, King of
Prussia, though now in the decline of life, can be
looked up to as the patron of feiences, and the lover
of mankind. The magnanimity and virtues of that
accomplished monarch that now fills the throne of
France, are so well known and experienced, that il
lustration is needless. Joseph, Empeior of Germany,
his diflipated the clouds of superstition, and Popilh
ignorance, that have for centuries hung over his Em

" Last night, about eleven o'clock, the brig Ad
venture, Captain Lyons, from Norfolk, in Virginia,
bound to Antigua, with lumber, flour, corn, &c. ran
upon the North Rock, and soon after filled with wa
ter. The Captain and some passengers got on shore
in a boat, about nine this morning. The rest of the
men (seven) made a raft, and left the brig, and were
soon after taken on board of the boats from shore.—
Part of the cargo will be saved, but the vessel en
tirely loft.
1 he North Rock is between three and four leagues
off shore, due north, and level with the furface of the
water. Any veflel that strikes there, or gets entan

We have the pleasure to inform our
readers, that Congress resolved, on the
26th ultimo, to adjourn on the 3d of June,
to meet at Trenton on the 30th of October
next; and that a committee of the Rates
should be appointed to fit during the recess.
Monday last a child of three years old, son of Mr.
Filet Howell, of this place, as he was playing at the
dyaw-well, fell in ; but by the adivity of his father,
who was not far distant, and very soon defeended,
he was brought up, to the great joy of a number of
persons who instantly colle&ed on the occasion, when it
appeared that the child had providentially escaped
without being much hurt, although his fall with the
bucket was not less than 25 feet, in a well walled
with stone, and on one fide of which Hands a pump.
The day following, as Mr. Joseph Brittain was
walking in his Hone-quarry, near town, in order to
examine into the progress of his workmen, who, be
fore his arrival, had just gone to dinner, a large stone
accidentally rolled down, which struck his left leg,
and unfortunately broke it in two places. One of his
neighbours happened to be within call, and gave him
affiHance. Mr. Brittain, it is hoped, is in a fair way
to do well.

A writer in the Connecticut Journal, of the 13th
instant, fays, " It is ridiculous to suppose that every
subaltern in the Society of the Cincinnati, by giving
up part of his wages for the poor of the Society, is
become in fad a peer of the realm; but it is easy to give
names to persons and things, to hold then! up in an
odious light. Yet suppose the Cincinnati really as
pired at nobility, we have no right to believe Con
gress will aid them in their views, as it is inconfft
