HAVERHILL, APRIL. 8.
Th this town, we have been highly favoured
in the late elision. As we live back in the
country 14 miles from Newburyport and # 20
from Salem, we of course are very ignorant;
and in short not competent to judge or aft for
curfelves. On Sunday we had help from Salem ;
and on Monday from Newburyport, sent us by
car good friends the jacobins. One of the dele
gates from Port kindly attended meeting ; mod
estly fronted the Sele&men'a box ; looked into
the hands of the voters exclaiming in their faces,
" Do you know what y^u are about, Sir ?" yet
dull rogues chat we are, he seemed not to in
fluence a vote. The plain reason seems to be
this; though we are ,o§r and ignorant, we are
proud also, and despise both the man and the
fsufe which is supported by such means.

From PARIS, FED. 14.•
'I It is scarcely possible to furnish you with
tews, or entertainment in the p'rpfent flare of
this capital. The mortality by which it is defo
fsted may be said almost to exceed the bounds
of credibility. Within the last t®n days 1 have
been assured from an official quarter, the num
ber of interments has aniounted to 400 per diem
on the average, or 4000 in the whole of that
term. Several perlons diftinguifned for their
birth or their character are upon this funeral
lift. St. Lambert, who was distinguished by
the title of the Thompson of France ; Casi, the
Poet, —the author of Gli Animalt Parlanu ; La
Harp, who herp flood high, in the political
world, and who formerly read lectures in Lon
don on Belle's Letters ; Lalande, the celebrate
ed astronomer ; and the Abbe Delille; a poet of
tcfplendett merit, have already drops into the
tomb, or are given over by their physicians
within that short period. Every family is in
mourning, and there is feared, enc individual
id ten who has not been in some degree attack
ed. What is extremely Angular is that the
Grangers in Paris have almost wholly escaped
,his desperate contagion.
“ In the midst of this calamitous feene, the
ehara&eriftic ,ity or rather the infenfbilit, of the
logrer order of the Parisians, has not failed to
develope itfelf as usual. They have given to
the disorder the title of La Grippe; it has un
der this title been m^de " the fad, burthen of a
merry^fong !" The ballad fingers hake their au
diences in every street, and it is no uncommon
thing to fee, " whilst frequent hearses, blacken
all the way," the mob divide itfelf, in ordci to
buffer the melancholy process to pafs,' and agaip
to form themselves engraft to hear the mauvai
fes plaifanteriee of their favorite ballads / Even
those of a higher order partake in forhe degree
of this Spirit and temper. I was speaking but
yesterday to a Parisian of some diftindion, on
this fubjed and remarked with some surprise,
that foreigners had so Angularly escaped from
the distemper. His Bnfwcr was curious—“ La
Revolution defoit-il nous a rendu si egoifes que nous

Extractfro^t th, Hon. John Q Adams'
Addrefi to th MafcebuJetti Charitable
Fire Society,
The following judicious remarks are from
this valuable pamphlet, and will, we trust, with
Very few exceptions, be approved of by all ranks
of readers-Further Ettrads ffiall follow next
week. .0 — ; ,
" IT war the highed boast of Augustus Citefar,
in his old aft, that he had found the Roman
metropolis of brick, and mould leave it of mar
ble. Fallow- townsmen ! We Ihosid blush to
confefs that our ambition extends net even tn
leave our capitals where Augustus began with
his. He gloiiedia the progress of improve
ments, from fafety to ornament ;- and can you
hesitate to pertift in advancing from danger to
fafety ? The motives which impelled him £0
fuperadd the polish of magnificence to the com
fortable dwellings of his people, were contrasted
and fellim, in comparison with, thole which
ought to Simulate you He gave fbletdor to
the city for the fake of its reflected luftre upon
his own fame. Your personal inducements are
of keener edge than his. It is for fafety, not
for glory, for life itfelf, or at lead its most es
sential comforts and not for the bubble reputa
tion that you are contending. But you hate
the further incentive of the most generous so
cial passions. In securing yourfelVes, you secure
your fellow-citizens, your neighbours, your
friends t You have the double enjoyment of
partaking the benefit, and feeiogit Ihared by
others. You are aiming not only to enlarge
the fpterc of your own gratifications,but to add
high value to the inheritance of posterity.
This spur will be peculiarly pointed and forci
ble to your minds, when you colder that it is
not mere property, but the inestimable blcffing
of Security ; not merely more durable tenements
but mere rational peace of mind ; not merely
riches of Bate and brick, which like otherriches
may take to themselves wings and fly away,
but the riches of quiet and contentment ; the
infalliable increafc of positive happiness, by the
removal of constant danger,& continualanxiety.
Open your Province-Law book, and the ve
ry fird Statue yob will find under the Charter
of William and Mary, is an a& to forbid the
erection of wooden buildings in this town, up
on the penalty of having them demolished as
common nuisances. This law, passed in the
year 1692, one hundred and ten years ago, re
fers to the exinetice,and the violation of a still
more antient Statue to the fame cfed, enacted
under the, former charter. The preamble, in
the energetic though somewhat antiquated lan
guage of that day, assigns the many great defo
fafr.t and ruins by fires, which wooden build
ings had occasioned, as the reason of its injunc
tions. .... .
