A FINE DAY’s WORK.
We mention the following authentic
particulars, as well to thew the spirit of
enterprize of our countrymen, as the
fertility of the ©il. Mr. Willard of
Charleftown, No. 4, a short time since
built a barn, 40 teet by 28, raised it,
covered it, and putinto it Nine Hundred
shocks of Wheat, and all in one day.
The shocks will produce at least Oue
7 boufand bushels of wheat ; and part of
the timber of which the barn is con
ftrufted, was growing in the field on
the above day.

SEPTEMBER 13,
Exiralt of a Letter from a Captain of a
weffel belonging to Baltimore, doted in
the harbour of Aux-Cayes, Augaft 3.
¢ The inhabitants of this piace fuf
pedting, from the contents of some in
tercepted letters from the General, at
Port-au-Prince, to Monsieur Codere,
late Major of the Cape Regiment, (con
taining some particulars of his pro
ceedings at that place and St. Mark’s)
that there was some secret plan in agi
tation, which might prove fatal to
them, if not timely preveated, aflem
bled a large body of horse and foot, and
repaired to Codere’s plantation, with
the determination of bringing him to
town, dead or alive. As they were
pafling one of his Cane Fields, they
were fired on by Codere and his ne
groes ;3 who had secreted themselves in
that place : They received no injury
from the fire, but immediately returned
it with interest, and kiiled some of the
negroes ; after which they fer fire to the
cane, by which means Codere was tak
en prisoner, . and brought into town,
under a strong guard, and lodged in
the guard house. It was with the
greatest difficulty that the Council and
letding men could restrain the enraged
populace from makiug an immediate
facrifice of their unhappy prisoner ;
but they were, at last, prevailed upon
to agree to his standing trial by the
Law : He was then removed, under a
strong guard, to the common goal, till
matters could be arranged for his trial ;
but while the Council were deliberating
on the most proper mode of proceeding,
the people grew outrageously impatient,
threatning the Judges, that if they did
not find bim guilty, and deliver him up
that night, their lives should answer for
it ; however, before they could give an
answer to these enraged men, the poor
unhappy prisoner was seized upon by
another party, taken from the prison,
and seated in a chair in the public mar.
ket-place : The initant the Council and
Mayor were apprized of his situation, |
they abandoned the church (the place ‘
designed for his trial) and in vain strove |
to rescue him from the fury of the po
pulace ; but they were not permitted
to approach him, the Mayor excepted,
who in vain efiiyed to appease their re
sentment and save the prisoner—No
thing could be heard but the cry of — |
bring lights, to which the mob obje&- ‘
““ Kil him !’—They attempted to
ed, declaring he should die in the dark.
As the people were all in arms, it - was
apprehended many lives would be loft ;
but so intent were they upon wreaking
their vengeance on the ill fated Codere
that they abandoned the idea of furilier
mifchiet. About seven o’clock in the |
evening, after a great altercation, one :
of the rabble stabbed him with a bayo
net ; another with a cutlass, Jevelled
him to the ground, while others dis
charged the contents of their muskets
in his body ; his head was then cut off
and kicked about the market-place with
the most savage barbarity ; all his bones
were broken, and his body cut and
mangled in a 2 manner too shocking to
relate ; they then dragged his bloody
corpse to the water fide, where it re
mained until a prielt obtained liberty
to take two negro criminals from the
gaol to assist at his burial. Monsieur
Codere was a very opulent planter,and
has left an amiable wife, and several
children, to lament the severity of his
fate.”
The writer of the above letter, has
arrived from Aux-Cayes, and inforins,
that on the gth Aug. 300 inhabitants
of that place, completely armed and
accoutred, were to march to St. Mark’s
to assist their friends there, in opposi
tion to the dangerous measures of the
General of Hispaniola.
SUPREME PUDICIAL COURT.
Yesterday Edward Vail Brown, and
Jobn Bailey, a black man, who have
been severally convited of burglary,
were brought to the bar ; when his
Honor Chief-Juftice SaArRcEaNT, after
a few preliminary observations, which
did great honor to his head and heart,
| pronounced Sentence of Death on both
of them.
' The Court-House, on this occasion,
~was crowded with citizens—attraéted
by the uncommon fight, of a fellow
~citizen, as Brown once was, the head of
~a family, who until of late years, sup
ported an unblemished chara&er for
probity and industry, and who once bid
fair to be a man of affluence—arraigned
at the bar of public justice, to receive
sentence of death for an attrocious
crime. While commiseration cast a
~gloom on every countenance, a solemn
silence indicated the impreflion which
each one received from the scene.
Brown appeared in much distress, and
whilst the sentence was delivering, funk
down on the floor.
It is almost impofiible to form any
conjecture as to the attual state of Poli
‘ticks in Europe, from the English pa
pers. To answer the purposes of ftock
jobbers—to give a spur to business—or
to amule the public, the most abo
minable articles are daily fabrica
ted ; and decorated with a peculiar
brilliancy of language, and studied par
ticulars, are palmed on the public for
trath. The delusion lasts its day—on
the following, the bubble bursts, and
the public are then informed, how
hanfomely they were gulled. 'The last
ignis fatuus we observed in the pa
pers brought by the Packet, was the
itory that the Spaniards had advanced
their works on the main towards Gib-.
ralter, and threatened the rock with an
immediate assault.—Stocks fell an half
per cent. and the end being answered,
the account was formally contradiéted.
To retail these absurdities, we deem an
(insult offered to the undeiftanding of
~our readers—to fele® what of truth
may be found in the chaos of contradic
tions, is difficult. Such articles, how
ever, as from concurrent teffimonies,
appear to be authentick, we shall from
time to time, lay before our readers—
as well those that appear to wear a war
like or a peaceable afpe® ; as those
which relate to the arts, sciences, agri
culture, commerce, humanity and the
progress of liberty.
We learn from Philadelphia, that the
President of the United States took his

THE PRESIDENT’s PORTRAIT,
Is finithed by TrßumMßULL—2nd a
fine thing it is ; designed and executed
in Ais superior style of excellence. It
is a fyll length, ia his uniform of blue
and buff—boots and spurs—head un
covered,—moft nobly relieved, in con’ '1
tad with a laminous cloud and fine |
light sky—nearly a front position, with |
his right hand and arm thrown on the
saddle of an elegant white Horse, with
inimitable ease —the beast in the alion
of biting the middle-joint of his near
fore-leg :—This position of the horse
shows his neck to great advantage,
while it leaves Tur PRESIDENT’s
Head, as it ought to be, the most con
spicuous objeét in his piure. There
are distant profpe&ts of particular and
interesting scenes, as accompaniments.
‘The whole piece is designed to convey

Curious and uncommon Phanemenon,
A hive of bees having cast. happened
to light upon an adjacent one, and soon
after began to enter. The bees within
perceiving the encroachment, and d
larmed at the number of the intruders,
immediately declared their intention of
repellin%l the invaders, by a general
bum, which was no sooner made than
they all came forth in order to battle.
A dreadful confli& then ensued, which
lasted upwards of three hours,when the
besiegers were at last forced to retreat,
after a very obstinate struggle, with the
loss of about two thousand.
From T. Allen’s N London marire lift,
%It is recommended to the mer
cantile brethren who put up beef for a
foreign market—lft. That in cutting
‘up their beef they would use a long
tharp knife to cut the flefh, and a steel
plate back saw to cut the bone, instead
~of an ax or clever, as the cutting and
sawing leaves the meat square and un
bruised, and fair to the eye after salting
and packing.—zd. A sure way of put
ting up Beef to remain good and fit for
any market for the space of a year—
Apply to a barrel of pickied or mess
Beef, cutin 4lb. or 6lb pieces, half
bushel Liverpool salt, 2 or 3lb. coarse
brown sugar, 40z, falt-petre—pack it
close—let your cask be well hooped and
pickled. This has been experienced by
a friend for 40 years, who never loft a
ny so put up—except by teeth.
