NIW-YORK, SRPT 2
At the diftria dourt of the United States for
the New-York diftrift, held yesterday at the
Rate-prison William H. Burbridge was indict
ed for feloniously Stealing a letter which was
committed to his care, as a clerk in the post
office in this city; in which letter were three
bank notes (one of 500 dollars, one of 250, and
one of 50) the property of Mr. John D. Mar
tin, of this city, merchant ; and which notes he
was charged with destroying. [The circum
stances of this robbery were detailed in the
Mercantile Advertiser at the time it was com
mitted ] To the indictment the prisoner pleaded
Guilty; and the court, in consideration of his
youth, (with a lenity which perhaps could not
have been expected from the enormity of the
offence) ordered him so receive thirty taffies up
on his bare back, and to be imprisoned for the
Space of fix months !

BOSTON, SEPT. 15.
Late from Europe.
By the arrival, at New-York, of the
ship Merchant, Capt. Lord, from Liv
erpool, advices are received to the 28th
of July.
The New-York paper, from which
we have made our foreign extracts,
contains no Intelligence, whatever, on
the fubje& of continental affairs. Its
most . important contents, refped an
Infurre&icn, which had difeovered it
felf in the city of Dublin, and which,
though not found to have any Leaders
of consequence, had created much ter
ror and alarm.
The "General Defence Bill," palled
the British House of Lords, on the 26th
July, and was expected to receive the
Royal Assent, the fame day. This
Bill gives to the King the power of
calling out every man, from the age of
18 to 55.

for war was very great there. Imprtffments
were hourly made. The fleet was getting rea
dy for fca with all possible activity, and fcveral
privateers were fitting out. Capt. L. was cau
tioned, if he intended to go into the Mediter
ranean, to clear out for Malaga not for Gibral
tar, to avoid the danger of being carried into
Algcziras.

day, intelligence was imparted, which
came from London on rhe- 30th ult.
that the English had declared Ham
burg, Bremen, and Embden, in a date
of blockade; a circumtlance which will
doubtless have a great influence on Col
onial Produds. The importation of all
these articles,the piodu&s of the British
Colonies,as well as dll English manufac
tures, is to be prohibited in this coun
try ; as well it is said; as the exporta
tion of provisions to England; all which

ult. was from 40 to 50 dlls per bbl.
Beans 30 dlls, per do. and all kinds
of vegetables very high. A flag of

mitted to enter.
Le Berceau.
Letters received in town from Sur
rinam, of late date, state, that the French
national corvette, Berceau, capt. Sen
nes, of 28 guns, had been captured by
the English, and sent into port. This
vessel lay in our port for several months,
after her capture by capt. Little, and
cod the United States more money for
her repairs, than the treaty with France
is worth.
Intelligence of the cession of Loui
siana to the United States, reached
Natchez on the „h Aug.and produced
there universal demonstrations of joy.
—At the intimation of the Governor,

inhabitants with equal fatisfadion.
Salem, Sept. 8.
FROM BORDEAUX, July 11, 1803.
"The renewal of hostilities between
England and this country, will again
compel us to have recourse to the flag
of the United States ; indeed, should
the present contest be of any considera
ble duration, we should not be surprised
that your ships should be solely permit
ted to trade in fafety ; at any rate,
none already command so much refpefl,
and none the fame sources of wealth
and trade, and means of annoying any
enemy who may dare violate their neu
trality. The price current herewith,
will give you an exa& idea of oUr mar
ket ; you may fafely adventure on the
prices, for having none but you to look
to for supplies, there is little profpea of
a fall, and a very great one of a rife in
all Weft-Indfa Goods ; indeed, there is
no knowing to what price they will get.
By a new law of this country, none can
come from England, and reftridions
are even made from those introduced
from neutral countries ; it is necessary
they be accompanied with a certificate
of their being the growth and manu
fadure of a French colony, which cer
tificate must be signed by the French
Consul or Commercial Agent for the
place at which they are (hipped."

ANTI-FLUX.
The great number of children who fall vic
tims to the Cholera in this season of the year,
is a ftreng inducement to publiffi the following
remedy, which has always succeeded when the
lax proceeded not from the effect of worms,
the cutting of teeth, or from repercuted hu
mors ; it strengthens the debilitated organs, and
neutralifes the acrimony of the morbi'c humor ;
Put half a dram of fait of tartar in a pint of
water—this is all the remedy,-
Give the patient of this alkaline water every
two hours, lengthening the interval of the dof
ce as soon as the complaint begins to abate,
which commonly happens the fame day.
To a child one year old, two tea spoons full
for the firft dose, and afterwards only one tea
fpoonful every two hours, in two or three Spoon
fuls of milk and water, fweetned together, in
creasing the dose according to the age, half a
tea fpoonful for -every year;
This remedy is equally effectual for adult#,
it it a fort of fpecific in billions diarrhea.
The firft dose for an adult is a table fponfull,
mixed with anequal quantity of sweetened wa
ter ; afterwards the half of this dose four or five
times in 24 hours. If due attention be given to
this remedy, hundreds of victims will be snatch
ed from the jaws of death every year.
The heads of families, who may be ignorant
that the ^lt of tartar is diffolvable in the air,
ought to preserve it for use in a phial, well
flopped up.
g, The printers in general, for humanity's
fake, are requeued to give this remedy all poffi
b!c publicity.

IN the Ceotinel of Wednesday we met-
I tioned the death of the Honorable The
ophilus Bradbury, of Newbury Port.l
The following obituary notice thereof, isl
copied from the Repertory.”-- 6 ' In Idsl
private and public lib—as a friend or
a's a magistrate , as a citizen or Legisla
tor ; a subject or Ilatefman, Ju Ige Brad
bury claimed and received the love of Ir s
acquaintance, and the gratitude & refpectj
of his country. He devoted his early days i
with the industry and success to the Itiidy
and practice of a profeffion, which railed
him to the honorablettations heafterwards|
filled. In later years he reigned the e- 1
moluments of that prof ffi on for the lim
ited, and (as it proved) theprecarions re
ward of a Servant of the public. When
a sudden and tinforefeen event rendered
him incapable to perform the duties of his
high and refpontible office,he was refuted
the pittance for which he had Sacrificed
former prospects of wealth and ease. He
was intelligent, independent and upright
in framing, as well aS impartial, zealons
and faithtul in executing, the laws of his
country.—To his family, his connections
and frienci he w<is warmly attached, and
affectionately endearing. His recent in
firmities deprived the public of a just and
honest servant ; his sudden death has be
reaved his ftiends and acquantance of a
man they elleemed and loved."

AMUSEMENT.
William and Nancy —a Ballad.
WHILST on her failor'sbreaft, reclin'd
the beauteous Nancy mourn'd,
the jolly tar, with truth sincere,
rebuk'd each unavailing tear,
yet every kiss return'd.
" O William let me go with thee
(the tweet bewai ler cry'd)
let me with thee dear youth repose,
Share all thy transports, all thy woes,
" and be thv bonny bride "
'Twas not a welcome breeze that then
could real rapture prove;
'twas not sweet frien Ship's mirthful voice,
when round the flip the tars rejoice,
but 'twas the test of love.
Whilst wave on wave, their course purfu'd
and bore the ship amain;
what plcafure did not William feel,
what charms did Nancy not reveal,
twas bliss that brav'd decay.
One fatal night—the frightful florm
'tore William from her arms;
the ratlins felt his eager hand
when up tbe shrouds be fought command, ~
to quell its rude alarms !.
She law him venture on the yard,
yet fcorn'd she to bewail ;
dauntless, she view'd the briny wave
the mainmast shake, the rigging lave,
and tear the swelling r d!
Bold William spied her on the deck,
and cbear'd her with a smile;
but oh ! a harder, keener blast,
his poor exhausted foul o,cicait;
he view'd his fate the while :
a whirlwind forc'd him r m the yard,
and plung'd him in the main!
Nancy beheld with frantie fear,
“ and now (she cry'd) my life, my dear,
I'll follow thee again"
V.
William, emerging from tbe deep,
a tar (his friend) furvey'd;
but how were friendship's woesexpreft, 1
when Nancy on her failotsbreaft,
his timely help delay'd.
But William prefi'd the close embrace
the dawn of hope was nigh;
a refuge in his friend he found;
a rope had grafp'd his arm around,
1 and wav'd his destiny.
VI.
!The winds were hufh'd, when fafe on board,
' all bail'd the refeu'd pair 1
, the rose once more, on Nancy's face,
difpell'd the lilly's sickly grace, ~
I and bloflbm'd in a tear.,
I The jolly crew now crowd the waist,
; brisk gdles their joys approve,
Iwhile each their tender hopes confefe,
land Nancy's lips receive the press
of unextinguifh'd love.
