Ma. TURNERS BALL.
A very large and most Rfpeftable company
of ladies and gentlemen, tyre highly gratified
b& Tuefday evening at th Ball.
Mr. Turner brought forward 50 scholars
from loto 16 years of ^e, in a uniform dress,
and who had been under hs tuition but one quar
ter— They went throng! a great variety of fi
gures with stria harmony, and the ease, agility
and grace, umverfally dfpjayed, gladdened the
heart of many a parent./
, Too much praise carrot be given to Mr. Tu
rner for bis Unwearied Mention to his fchool,and
for the delicate tafle particularly displayed in
the exereifes of Tuefty evening, which more
than realiagd the wafaefl expeaation.
MELANCHOLY OCCIDENT.
r On Tuefday evening last, between the hours
^ a °d seven, 4 BMr. Morrill, with his
wife, one son and t,o daughters, with a son of
Mr. Hill, and t+o sons of Mr. Shapleigh
all belonging to Kittery, were attempting to de,
fend their boat fr@ a wharf in this town, by
Pepping upon thefide of the boat, accidentally
upfct her, and infaerfed the whole number,
eight, in the water, a few feet from the wharf,
my the timely anti ftcady perfaverance of tbofe
tcrfons who wet collected on this sudden and
faterefting occafyn, feveq were restored without
any very effentifl injury^ But we must no
t(ce the untimely death of Miss ABIGAIL
MQRRILL,a promifiog daughter of Mr. and
Mrs; Morrill, about 18 years of age, who
Ffortunag, was confined under the boat for
Capture of a Tripolitian Cruizer,
Extrafl of a Letter from Commodore Dale,
commanding a squadron of frigates in
the service of the United States, to Mr.
Gavino, American Consul in Gibraltar,
dated Malta, 19th Augufl.
" I am happy to inform you that
Mr. Steritt, in the fchr. Enterprize, of
12 guns, and- 90 men, fell in with one
of the Tripoline Cruizers off this Island.
She mounted 14 guns and 80 men.—
He took her after an A&ion of three,
hours, killed 20 of her men,and wound
ed 30. Notaman hurt on board the
schooner. The Bey's Cruizers have
not taken any of our merchant vessels
as yet." ' ——-
The frigates Essex and Philadelphia
failed from Malaga the 13th Sept, to
join the Commodore off Tripoli. All
the frigates were in want of provisions,,
and there was none to be had at Mala
ga or Gibraltar. • It wal expected the
Commodore would leave a frigate to
blockade Tripoli, and repair himfelf to
Gibraltar for provisions, &c.
The frigate George Washington, with
the fhipPeace and Plenty under convoy,
arrived at Gibraltar, Sept. 19, and
failed for Algiers the 21st, intending
to stop at Malaga for water., Brig
Levant, Bradford, of Boston, and Su
san Wheeler, of Baltimore, failed in
company with the frigate.
The Tripoline Admiral and the
Brig were still at Gibraltar, difmant--
led and deferred by their crews.
It was reported at Gibraltar that
the plague had again, appeared in
Spain;, in corifequehce of which, a
quarantine of five days was laid on
all vessels from Spain. The King of
Spain was very ill.

OF EGYPT,
On the loth of Sept, the frigate Le

Egypt—Alexandria had riot surren

had abruptly and indignantly rejected
the propofol ih the 20th article of the
convention with the troops at Cairo —
His.garrifon confided of but 4100;
and most of the French soldiers were,
extremely desirous of returning home.
,It is estimated there were zjgooßritilh
troops in Egypt. r
GIBRALTAR, SEPT. 18.
Rumours from Spain have reached
the Garrison, importing that Gen, Me
nou has surrendered Alexandria to the
British -Forces ; that all the . French
Troops are now out of Egypt : and
that Lord. Keith is on his way down
the Mediterranean) But we wait for
a confirmation of this highly probable
and agreeable intelligence.

seasonably enough to be taken out and restor
ed—although two medical Gentlemen were
immediately called in, who perilled in their
endeavors to reanimate the unfortunate girl,
without any abatement of exertion for four
hours; but their attempts were not fuccefsful.
Three young gentlemen Mr. Thomas Chad
bourn jr. Mr. Eliffia Hill and Mr. Joseph Ste
ven,, on this painful and melancholy event have
made themselves in particular, conspicuous, and
are entitled to public apphufe, for their spirit
ed, steady, and judicious arrangement on this
disagreeable catastrophe ; the latter of whom,
even to the riique of his own exigence plunged
himfelf into the water, when a boat was not
readily to be obtained, and fortunately succeed
ed in restoring two of the unfortunate to an
afylym of fafety ; from the then distressing
and unfavorable appearance.
F/°RE.
On Sunday night last, Joshua Mendum's
ho^ of Kittery was entirely confirmed by fire.
—;The accident was occasioned by the boiling
oyer of a large pot of pitch.
We understand a Subfeription paper was
handed about for Mr. Mendum, and have no
doubt from the spirit of li'-.rality which cha
raderizes the Gentlemen of this town, his loss
will be fully made up to him.

% SUICIDE.
On Saturday the 24th Odt. Mr. Nathan
Hodgdon of Farmingtori in this State, went
into the woods, and climing a tree, fattened
a writhe round his neck, and swung off.—
He was found the Monday following lying on
his breast—his face but a few inches from the
ground—and the writhe was very loose, not
touching the back of his neck by. several inches.
Mr. Hodgdon appeared disordered some days
before, but none of his. friends apprehended in
tentions so serious.
We could not learn what Family or relations,
he left to mourn his wretched end.
. The Editor of the Aurora has commenced
an ab ufive attack on the late Post-Master Gen
eral. Jt was reported some time since that Du
ane covetted the office. He relies too much^
perhaps; on Claiborne's success ; but the fame
means do not always obtain the like end.

"The tyranny of a monarch, is the
steady gale, which gives time to prepare
for its ravages ; it enables the seaman
to clear his decks and hand his fails—
"the farmer to leave his field, to shut
his doors and shelter himfelf and his
herds from the impending storm. But
popular despotism is a whirlwind, a
tornado of passions ; it collets in a mo
ment ; a calm clear iky is instantly
darkened, and furious winds, bursting
on their affrighted victims while help
less and unguarded, sweep away the
fruits of their labour, and bury them in
the rrins." [Com. Gaz.

f# The writings of Mr. Job Orton,have
mft -with a favourable and flattering
reception. His Exposition of the Old
Testament comes highly recommended
and his Letters to a young Clergyman
deferye frequent perusal. It gave me
pleasure to fee an edition of hisDifcourf
es to the aged, printed by Mr. Cufhing
of Salem. These discourses are writ
ten in so good a stile, and contain so
rfiuch useful matter, that persons of
every age may find in them valuable
inftru^ion. lam much pleased with
the author's management of thefubjeds
he treats. To enforce his observations,
he introduces, to great advantage,
charafters and examples from the sac
red Scriptures. I think this volume a
very good family book, and suitable for
asocial library, I hope it will have
an extensive circulation,and wish print
ers in general were more felicitous to
employ their types in the cause of reli
gion, and to preserve and spread those
productions, which are adapted to
check tfievices and mend the morals of
the prefect, day. MIDDLESEX.

This work recommends itfelf to thp
world 'not only by the celebrity of the
author as a model of female perfection,
but by its intrinsic value. For elegance
of ftyte; purity of sentiment, and per
spicuity of expression, no writer can be
more justly admired. For rational pi
etft for chriftian virtue, for worldy and
Scientific knowledge, she is the paragon
of her sex. Her ftri&ures on Female
Education, appear to be the production
of a mind deeply impressed with a sense
of the folly and mismanagement of
Parents in the education of their chil
dren. It is a work not only recom
mended to those who now have the
guidance and direction of youth, but to
thdfe who will be called to the arduous
and important talk of " rearing the
tender thought,and teaching the young
idea how to fhbot.”
