President Adams has been received
here, on his return from Mount Vernon,
with military and civic honors. A
public Entertainment was given to him
by the firft characters of the place. And
the Jacobins expressed themselves fur

indications of a tyrannical, ambitious
and revengeful disposition in his coun
tenance, as they had been led to ex
peft. '
Touissaint, the Sovereign of St.
Domingo, has decreed that the rents
of absentees estates should be paid into
the public coffers, allowing authorized
attornies 5 per cent, for their care of
the estates ; that when absentees return
they Shall be put into possession of their
estates, and be paid the net proceeds of
them, during their absence ; or if the
public finances are not then competent
thereto, the estates are to be exempted
from taxation, till the proprietors are
thereby indemnified.
Last evening arrived here the brig Hope,
Capt. Nichols, of Derby, in 19 days from St.
Kitts. Dr. Tilton, late surgeon of the ship A
viel, Coats, from Canton to Philad. came pas
senger in the brig. We are concerned to state,
that he brings a confirmation of the fate of the
Ariel ; which vessel was captured on the sth
of May, by the French privateers Diomede of
12 guns and 100 men, and the Harmony of 10
guns and 97 men, after a smart engagement of
one hour, in which the Ariel had two men kill
ed, and three wounded. Capt. Coats received
a ball in the back, and Mr. Burger, of this ci
ty, who also behaved with great gallantry du
ring the aftion, was wounded by a musket
wbic^ entered his back, and came out at his
chin. The loss of the privateer was not known.
The Ariel arrived at Guadaloupe, the 20th
May, and part of her cargo fold before our in
formant left that place.
Mr, Tilton farther adds, two or three Amer
ican vessels were daily brought in there; and
that the owner of the above privateers is a
mulatto, who was lately a Have at Martinique,
and who, in a few months, has accumulated
the sum of half a million Sterling by privateer

The city of Savannah presents at this time,
a plcafing, cool, and comfortable appearance ;
owing to rows of trees planted on both tides of
the Streets, people can now walk thro' the city,
protested by their friendly Shade, without the
fear ol finking under the powerful influence of
the fun, so fatal to strangers especially. The
effeds of trees, are to keep the ground beneath
them cool, and the air in motion in the stillest
time; to diminish the violence of the solar heat,
and to purify the atmosphere (which we
breathe) by drawing from it all putrid and nox
ious vapours, which are food to them, but death
to us. The noble walk on the Bay, Confift
in o °f a double row of fine trees, the wholo
length of the city, planted by the friendly and
patriotic hands of our worthy citizen, Cap
tain George Throop, presents a profpea truly
magnificent and delightful; and has the addi
tional good effect of improving the healthincfs
oi that part of the town, by protesting it from
the pernicious north east vapours which former
ly made it sickly.
By accounts from Ireland, the Brit

GREAT MISFORTUNE.
SALEM, JUNE 23.
Particulars of the If of theJhip William and Hen
• ry, Thorns Bickford, mfler.
Capt. Bickford failed from this port on the
14th of April Aft, bound for,Amsterdam, with
a valuable cargo of sugar, coffee, arid tobacco.—
Nothing remarkable occurred until the morn
ing of the sth of May—when at half past three
o'clock, A. M. they were alarmed by the ves
sel's Striking an Iflind of fee, which from the
thicWfog that then prevailed, it was utterly im
possible to avoid—indeed it was not fcen until
the (hip hid Struck, altho' a good lodk out had
been kept then and during the night. All
hands were immediately called and the vessel
was found going down very faft—her hull was
completely immerged in 5 minutes after She
flrack—the jolly boat was instantly hove out
of the long boat, & the mate & two hands got
into her, the capt. with eight hands took to the
long boat, which while they were in her, floated
from the Ship as she was going down—two
men ,who had not been able to get into either
boat being below when the (hip Struck, were
Shortly after seen upon the quarter, and were
immediately taken off by the jolly boat—pre
vious to their being taken off, they had cut the
lashings from the oars on the quarter, which
were taken up by the men in the boats, of
which they were before destitute.—Aster the
ship had difapp^red, all hands took to the long
boat—and were at the mercy of the winds and
waves—but He, who calms them, had not for
fook them—the binnacle had luckily floated
from the quarter deck, from which they for
tunately procured the compass. Providential
ly they had been fifhing the day before, and the
lead and baited hooks of a cod-line were
thrown into the boat—a spare piece of rigging
was also in the boat, which they unftranded,
and fixed to the lead and hooks, with which
they took three cod-fiSh—which with a piece
of Ice they took up just after they left the (hip,
was the only sustenance they had for 7 days—
when they arrived at St. Mary's in Newfound
land—three men being badly frozen, and the
rest very weak from such extreme fufferings.
Half away up the Bay they were met by a
fhallop from St. Mary's, beating out, the crew
of which kindly put her about, and towed
them in. In attempting to land at St. Mary's,
owing to the furff, they stove the bottom of
their boat through, which accident obliged
them to hawl her on Shore and thrap her.
From St. Mary's, Capt. Bickford and crew
took passage in 3 Shallops for St. John's—where
they arrived on the 16th of May. At this
place they found a ship bound for Boston, own
ed by a Mr. Patric Hunter, a Royal Oak Scotch
man, who very burning refufed a passage to
Captain Bickford and crew, unless they would
firft pay him Eighty Guineas, altho' he knew
that neither Capt. Bickford or his crew had sav
ed a dollar, and find their own provisions. The
Captain of the ship, who is now in Boftoh,
had it been in his power, independent of the
owner, would have very willingly given a paf
l^gegratis to the whole Ship's company. Capt.
Bickford, rather than be thus treated by this
monftcr in a human Shape, took passage from
St- John's to Liverpool—where he was kind
ly treated—and there procured a fhallop, in
which, with all his crew, he arrived here on
Friday last, in 8 days passage.
Capt. Bickford had been led to believe by
this Hunter, that he and his crew Should have
a passage in his ship for nothing, provided he
would pay for the provisions necessarily con
sumed on the passage—He accordingly got
credit for the provisions, and they were already
to proceed home, when this very kind hearted
Scotch Scoundrel demanded 80 guineas caSh
down, for their passages. Capt. Bickford very
properly disappointed his avaricious foul, by
acting as he did.
The captain of a Newyork brig very humane
ly offered Capt. B and his fhip's company a
paffage,to Newyork gratis—which offers they
acknowledge with gratitude.
Parker and Knight and Co. have also their
Sincere gratitude for their kind attentions to
them while at St. John's.
Arrived at Norfolk, the BritiSh brig Hero ;
Capt. Smith, 41 days from Cork. She came
into the Capes of Chefapeak Bay with a ship
bound up to Alexandria, the captain of which
informed, that he had fallen in with a fch'r 9
days from Antigua, bound to Newyork, that
had been boarded and plundered by a French
privateer, on the 2d in£. a Short distance South
of the Capes.

Last Wednesday, as a lad was looking after
birds-nefls, in a place of thick bushes, near Ips
wich river, in the borders of Lynnfield, to his
great surprise he found the dead body ofa
man. The lad instantly gave information to
the nearest neighbours, who immediately in
fpedted the body, and found the clothes of the
dead man answered the description your paper
gave of the clothing of Mr. Shmuel Dyer, of
Boston, who being deranged in his mind, had
eluded the attention of his friends, and was
loft on the 9th of May last. A jury of in
quest was called, who judged he was acci
dentally drowned. At the fame time infor
mation was given to the fronds of Mr. Dyer ;
who came on the spot, and viewed the body
before it was moved. Death and time had
erased every feature of his face ; but his clothes
fully fatisfied them he was their loft friend.
Last evening his body was taken up, carried
to Boston, and there entombed. Mr. Dyer was
about 71 years old. He had no children, but
has left a disconsolate widow to mourn his
Untimely death. May that God, who is the
husband of the widow, comfort her !

THE EEIL.,
LOS 1,
The antifederal part of Virginia, in order
to secure to the Jacobin interest, the united
fuffrages of that state, in the ensuing election
of President & Vice-President, have changed the
mode of choosing Electors from a Diftrift choice
to that of a general ballot By these means,
the voice of eight Diftrifts, which would have
been in favour of Federal electors, will be
drowned in the general cabal ; and the weight
of the whole State will be thrown into the Jac
obin scale.
Alarmed at this innovation, the Federal
States are endeavouring to provide an antidote
to the poison. In New- HampShire, and Mas
sachusetts, effectual nieafures to that end have
been taken ; and , the Legislatures have merit
ed the the thanks'of their country for their pre
science and firmnefs evinced therein.
In Maryland the practice hasbeen to choose
the electors in Diftrids. If that practice is
adhered to, the antifederalifts will be certain
of three out of the ten votes. Measures are
accordingly taken to prevent this evil, by a
dopting the Virginian mode, and securing the
whole by a general ticket ; or by I Legisla
tive choice. The laws of feif-prefervation
will juftify the measure : ", The antifederal
ifts" as a writer op the fubjed observes,
“ have a general election where it suits them,
and diStria eleftior iwhere it Suits them, and
they bring in a President who is not the choice
of the nation.
Virginia unites her own Strength, arid divides
that of her neighbors ; and we know that to
divide and to govern, are nothing more or less
than two Steps in the fame ladder. ---When you
have mounted one, to reach rhe other is a
matter of little difficulty.' The question for
Maryland, therefore, is, whether She will Sus-

will not. Much depends on the exertions
