Burr DuL.iKt.

and honourable emulation in the child (0 imi
tate so great and good an example as the firft
character that ever lived, 'ard whose virtues
will never die. The second natoe was given
to him in gratitude to the man who was so
eminently ufeful in giving us our independence,
and who for twenty five years has a&ed as a
true and firm American, not attached to any
country but his own. The third name was
given him to follow the example of an Hero
tried in the wilds of Canada, where (like Leo
nidas the Spartan hero) with a small band of
Americans he fought an arm, of veterans
greatly superior in number only, and although
nearly famifhed for the want of ptovifions, his

A letter from Northampton, dated
the 7th April, fays, “ It would have'
gladdened the heart of a man not dead I
to the interests of his country, to have|
seen the aged and hoary headed inhabi-'
tants of this town, who had not from
age, attended a town-meeting for twen
ty or thirty years, coming forward to
support a man who had grown up un
der their eyes, and within a circle of
their own particular acquaintance. 1
We had four men above 90 years ; ten
above 80 years ; and twenty-fix up
wards of 70 years of age, who voted ,
for Governor Strong."
In the Northampton paper of Wednesday,
the lift of votes in that county and of Berk

Jan. 31st, in lat. 39, N. long 55 W. at half
p a h SP. M. the fbip being under easy fail, the
officer of the watch found her to make an un
usual spell of water. This caused great anxie
ty, and tile Captain having called all hands, af
ter taking in fail, and keeping two men at the
pump, who could feared keep the (hip free, and
held a confutation what was best to be done.
It being the opinion of all that it was best to
difeharge a par: of the cargo, that was accord
ingly done Notwithstanding they had dis
charged all between decks the leak continued
to inercafe, and the crew continued in their Rate
of anxiety, till the 3d Feb. when, having dis
charged their cargo fore and aft, they difeover
cd the leak abaft, and the water boiling in like
a torrent ; this gave some hopes of flopping it,
and although the crew were verv much ex
hauled, every mean was used for that purpose ;
but to no effe&. The long boat was then got
ready to leave the ship in case of finking. It
blowing a heavy gale from the westward, cut
away all the masts, but the leak increased to
such a degree it was expeded die ship would go
down every minute. At ten P. M. the hold
was full of water—and on the sth Feb. the fore
chains being within an inch of the water, the
crew took to the long boat, without being able
to save even the Chip's papers, expecting every
instant to be their last, and resigning themselves
to the will of God. In an open boat, and 15
fouls on board, with a little bread, water, and
a,am, and four small oars, nothing but the
profpea of death presented itfelf. In the mo
ment of despair it was proposed to cast lots for
five to leave the boat, but this was rejected,
with a determination, if it was the will of Pro
vidence, to perish together. On the Bth Feb.
had a very heavy gale, when the boat filled
twice, and loft two of the oars—having then
but one gill of water and an ounce of bread
soaked in salt water, per day. On the loth
Feb. near the Weftern Islands, saw a brig which
palled within half a mile, but was unable to
fpcak her.

Portsmouth. Amil 17, iSot.
After fuffering indeferibable hardships, hav
ing been nine days and as many nights in an
open teat, during which time they experienced
many heavy gales of wind, on the 14th, in the
afternoon they fortunately got aboard the brig
Lydia, capt. Bernon Dunn, of and from New-
York to St Sebaftians, then in lat. 3,, 20 N.
long- 4° W. For the kindness and humanity
of capt. Dunn, and his crew ffiewed them they
will ever be indebted; and particularly to Mr.
John E. Seaman, owner of the brig. On the
lsth,fpoke ship Rebecca Parfons,from Charles
ton to Cowes, had 101 l her rudder. On the
17th, spoke ship Boston Packet, capt. Matthew
Strong, fen. who consented to take captain
Skillings and past of his crew to America, not
having provisions for them all. On the 3d A
pril, having hired a pilot boat off the Capes of
Delaware, Capt. Skillings, his firft and second
mates,and three feamen,arrived at Philadelphia.
They were treated with great humanity by
capt. Strong. Captain Skillings found the
benefit of taking a large jug of oil in the boat,
as it assuaged the force of the sea in a great
measure.
Capt. Brown from St. Croix, in 17 days, fays,
three schooners and a sloop had been cut out of
that harbour by the British; and that there were
three English Roops of war cruising off tfoat port,
on board of which were a number of troops ;
and it was hourly expected they would besiege
the place.
Capt Thurflon, who arrived here yesterday
in 21 days from Curracoa, informs that the day
before he failed, the English had detained all
Danish and Swedish vcffels in that port, which
veffeis were all hauled up at Lagoon, the place
where the English men of war were Rationed.
There were in port eleven Danilh and one
Swedish vessel.
