NEWYORK.
A FEW days since, a circumstance
ogetitred m this city, which no
person can reflect on without feofa
tibos of horror and deteffarion ; and
tyhite we blush for the depravity of
@€fof our species, cannot but regret
that he who cpplci ^ such a
dastardly and lavage adion, fhculd
go unpunished. ,
A certain man, ofthe name of
Davenport, had faded hii cart to
a degree far beyond the power of hit
horse to draw, who exerted hit utmost
Strength to ititivj the enoimous load
to croeffed. This so exafpetated t,e
hurt)in brute,:that; after having goad
ed add beat the unfortunate animal
till bis patience was rafted, killed
him on the Spot, by cutting his throat!
An instance of this„kind hap
pened some time fa in sbfefc
'^ the (elc& mep, with a Spirit of
juffice, and true benevolence (which
^bescfcdittqte brought the
offender to a public trial, and put it
out of his power to repeat the crime,
by incapacitating him from driving
a tari thereafter. Why ~„ offense
of this kind, (for art offence it certain
ly it bgainft every law of humanity
or joftice,) Should not be punished
in this flare as well as another, is not
easily accounted for.

XTOT long since, a Country Clergyman,
IM (nit the taefl liberal of tor order) being
on a ,i&,t Boston; was, by a polite and gen
erous brother gownman, invited to officiate
in the sacred functions of his office.—His il
liberal and daemonic difcwirfewas but poorly
relived by the congregation. Their Pastor
obfetving their chagrin end disapprobation
of the sentiments of his clerical friend, in a
whisper requested leave to read the hymn,
and accordingly gave out the following :
" Not to the Terrors of tbe Lord, .
" The Tempe,, Fire, and Smcke ;
" Not to the Thunder oftba* auorJ
'' Which GOD'on Sinaifpoke :
, "But cue ate come to Sion's Hill, ,
" The city of our GOD,.
" Where milder words declare bis nuiil,
'' And spread bis Love abroad !" Wc.
On their return from churth, the visiting
priest observed to his friend, that the Hymn
hhd ruined his difeoerfe—the other replied,
that he had no intention of injuring his ser
mon, he only meant to take off the WIER
EDGE!! A SAT.VBRBVM.

WE find ourselves in a very criti

Borcheua, with his 14,900 men.
Our gouernment under these circum
fiances have taken every prudent
measure. No ftraoge military person
(generals only excepted) are permit
ted to come to this city, and all ft ran
gers who were not residents here be
fore the year 1792, are to remove
from hence in three days, and all per
foos of rank, the clergy, &c + have
obtained leave to depart from the ci
ty. A greater number of perfops
than three a e forbidden to be to
gether in the frets. All the inhabi
tants have orders to bear arms, and a
body of i2;ooo peafanti are already
under arms, part of which are em
ployed in the garrison. For the de
fence of two principal pofti Li Lan

the rich citizens have b&n alarmed
at this, and have tent their valuable

When they arrived at Turin they
