Fro?ft BOSTON, MARCH 12.
FIRE!,
, On Wednesday night, about 11
o'clock, a fire broke out in the store of
tapt. Joseph Ripley, on Mr. David
Spear's Wharf. The store appeared to
be almost completely oh fire before the
difeovery ,yas made; and confidcrable
of the merchandize it contained; wi^h
capt. R's books, were consumed. The
tide was out, and it was found difficult
tb procure water ; but the spirited ef
forts of the large colle&ion of citizens
promised for tometime, to confine the
deftru&ive element th the building,
where, in this instance it commenced
the work of devastation. Butthefe hopes
were unhappily illusory. The confla-
S-ation fprea'd to the stores oil the
ong Wharf ; from which avast min,-
citizens had been engaged in removing
the goods, to guard against thb worst
which might happen ; but their labors
tould not efta a seasonable. removal
of all the merchandize which was at
hazard. Beside the store occupied by
capt. Ripley, on Spear's Wharf, that oc
cupied by Mr. E. Li Boyd, was can
fumed; and on' die Long-Wharf the
Following stores :

Stores, No. 9 ahd 10, were extreme
ly injured by the attempts to pull the|h
down. The amount of property de
stroyed is very great. Goods were re
moved from many stores to which the
lire did not extend. The fire-proof
Store belonging, id Mr; Osborne, at
the head of the Long Wharf, (No. 1,)
effectually prevented the progress of the
conflagration towards State-Street.—,
None of the property in it Was removed.

Extrafl of a letter from a gentleman at
Baltimore, to hh friend in B?fton, dat
ed March 3.
" Capt. Rogers arrived here this day
from Cape-Francois, and inforips, that
the French fleet had arrived there ;
that in consequence the negroes had
retired into the interior, after burning
the town and murdering the whites;
and their devaluations were continued
as they retreated. The American
merchants got on board their velfels in
the harbor prior to the above event :
but all their property on shore was de
stroyed." ,
Yesterday at half past two o'clock;
the inhabitants of this town were Alarm
ed by the cry of fire. It began in a
barn of Judge Pickering's, within the
distance of twenty feet from his dwel
ling house. It feeing quite calm, the
most strenuous and spirited exertions of
the inhabitants succeeded in arresting
its progrefs,after consuming the build
ing. We can ascribe this misfortune
to accident only, caused by a spark
from a contiguous chimney.

Congress, it is said, h^ve in contem

the importation of Foreign Iron.
The propbfed additional duty on Types has
occafiotted a meeting of Printers and Booksellers
in Philadelphia, of which Mr. Matthew Carey
Was chosen chairman ; in which it was resolved
to memorialize Congress against the measure,
and to desire the ,-pperation of the Printers
and Booksellers of Lofton, New-York and Bal

Symptoms of scarcity are said to have appear
ed at Paris ; black bread is served at Bonaparte's
table, and the exportation of flour and wheat
from France has been prohibited.
It is a fad, derived from intelligent
sources, that in France, the present
high-handed measures of the American
administration, are spoken of with ceh
fure and disgust. We ark considered
as laboring under a despotism the mbit
oppressive and intolerant. Our exper
ience is viewed as a beacon which the
French Republic are cautioned to
guard against the licentiousness of de

TO CORRESPONDENTS
Some Communications received, but una
voidably omitted
^ WE have been amused with a
publication in the iaft Gazette which
was defined as a reply to our obfer
yations in the last Oracle on |he town
fleeting. We then averted the truth-l
and shall now notice this publication,
whose sole objeft is the abofe of char
acter. If the Editors of the Ooracle
have found a rattle, they will use it only
to pacify the disquiet child. If they are
the birds of summer, their cao-coo-ing
follows a democratic ftdrm, and pre
f^ges the genial influence of the fun of
Federalism. As Editors, they have
fully, avowed their principles, and the
commentary Ihall be found in their
works..
A LIE ACKNOWLEDGED BY
THE,PUBLISHERS, NEEDS NO
REFUTATION BY EVIDENCE.
The Gazette jfl one fontence fays,
there was no indecent triumph express,
ed or shewn by the majority in the
town meeting of th^ iftinft. th the very
next sentence they fay there was " a
clapping of hands," and we fay foJdud
and indecent hiding, that the modera
tor Do&or Goddard Was under the ne
ceffit^ of commanding silence ; at the
fame time observing that, "He Was ex
tremely sorry to fee such indecency." The
public must and will fay if this is not
an indecent triumph. If youth could
be objected against a man as a crime,
we would not hesitate to ask these Ed
itors how long they have been WEAN

If an increasing circulation of our pa

With refpe& to the fate of the Pratts', and
the unfortunate Capt. Brown, and his crew,it
appears from the heft accounts we can collet,
that the ship ftrtfck at about eight o'clock in the
evening, at a place about two miles on this lide of
the Light House—she remained sometime on the
bar, and they lightened her by throwing over
board a large quantity of coffee, when she beat
over, and soon afterwards run upon the main
beach. Capt. Brown note cist away the mizen
knaft, and next the mairi-maft. Here a dreadful
arid distressing feene prefented=the ship parted
in two, and the crew were driven to the hard ne
cessity of getting on shore as well as they could.
Fortunately the main-mast fell in ffiore; and af
forded a fort ofladder, upon which there was a
chance of saving their lives. The intrepid Capt.
Brown offered to lead, and was the firft nian
who got on shore ; the two mates followed, and
riert the seamen, and all hilt one man got oq/
shore in fafety, (one man had previously fallen
from the fore-yard, while reefing the fore-fail,
And was instantly killed by the fall.) Finding
themleWes in a most distressing situation, being,
cold and wet, and almost exhausted, it was nec
essary to take some immediate steps for their
jrefervation; and they determined to keep in a
body, and if possible to cross the neck of land.—
Capt. Brown happened to be very thinly clad,
having loft a comfortable garment which he held
in his hand at ihe very moment he was leaving
the ship; aid he soon farted in his strength. Mr.
Ruee and the hands affiftedhim as much as they
were 4ole, but it waste no purpose ; he howev
er succeeded so far as to get over to the weftern
tide of the bay, arid there perished, at a place a
bout one mile from Provincetown, and between
that and Truro ; and hid the party happened
to have varied their cotirfe a little to the right or
left, it is more thar iprobable' that the greater
number might ha&e been favid,as they mutt have
come into one of these towns. By this time,
which was towards midnight; ihoft of the people
began to give out. Mr. Jacob Ayers, the id
mate, a very worthy .arid promising young man,
perilled ; And fooh lifter several of the crew fol
lowed the fame fate. They kept travelling a
bout, and knew not whither they, went, till a
bout 4 o'clock in the morning of Tuefday, they
espied the light-house—having wandered about
upwards of 20 miles backwards and forwards, in
the eourfe of thenight ; the party was now re
duced to five persons only, and exhausted and
vyorn down with fatigue, almo&frozeri to death,
they were just enabled to reach Xinall house,
situated in the neighborhood of the light-house,
where the inhabitants humane!, afforded them
every neceffaty assistance. The fortuhate fbr^
river,, are Thomas Ruee,frft mate, J<fcpb Pbip
pe^jun, William Rewell. Robert Martin, all of
Salem ; Daniel Potter, of Marblehead.,
The bodies of all the deceased people weri
found the next day, and all decently interred;

the others at Truro, to which refpeaife place!
they happened to be neatest.

Os the ships Brutus, Ulysses, and Volufia,

an Officer on board the Uffes.
" The* weather was remarkably fine, and the
wind favourable, on Sunday, Feb. 21st, when
the ibips failed from Salem ; the two former
defined for BoUrdcaux, and the latter for rhe
Mediterranean. At fun feeing, Cape Ann light
house bore N. N. W. 3 or 4 leagues distant,
the wind at this time was S. E. a light breeze,
and all the ships flood to the E. N. E. in com
pany—the (hips about this time spoke each oth
er, and upon a confutation brween all the Cap
tains, it was finally concluded best not to return
to Salem, but puih gift to sea as fall as possible ;
they therefore flood to. the eastward, but made
very little progress, as the winds were flattering
and at times it was nearly calm.—Soon after
midnight the weather grew very threading,and'
it was found there was no chance of putting
b^ck.—At half past 2 o'clock, A. M. ( Monday
morning) the wind veered to the N. E. aud it
flowed faft. so that the ships could hardly dis-
Sn each other $ and at this time the ship Vo
ifcparated from the other two.---At half past
3 o'clock, Capt. Brown spoke Capt. Jam a Cook,
and it wa? agreed, as the fafellplan, to tack
ship co the N. N. W. till day break, and then to
eudcavour to run cut of trie South Channel.—
By 6 o'clock, the gale blew excessive hard
from N. E. and E N. E. ^64 the sea run very
high—tLe Brrnua now waft Rip, arid flood to
the 3. E. under a heavy press of fail ; but the
Ulysses flood on towards Cape Ann till 8 oclock,
and then wore round, and ftopd out of the Bay,
carrying all the time as much fail as the ship
cduld pombly support.—The storm continued
with increased violence, and the ships were 0-
bilged to reduce their fail in the afternoon. At
5 o'clock, Capt- Cook, of the UlyfTes, thought
he saw the high land of Cape Cod, and immedi
ately wore ffiip to the westward —the wind was
now blowing a Furious gale—the weather was
dark and gloomy, and the ffiip could only carry
her fore fail and mittn top. fails, and they et
pedled every moment to go on (bore.—One of
their anchors washed away from the bows, and
it took them more than an hour to lieave.it up.
—At 10 o'clock in the evening, the Ulysses
flruck the bar on the northern pitch of Cape Cod,
and thumped very hard—the violence and force
of the winds and waves soon carried away the
bowsprit and sore-mast, and these were soon fol-„
lowed with the loG of the mam-maft, and mizen
maft, the boats and every thing on deck. The
crop fled to the cabin for prote&iGb—the ship
only,lay upon the bar a few minutes,drifted over,
and fpon flruck the main shore—here they re
mained in the ship all night, in the greater anxi
ety and distress, expecting every moment would
be their last, as,,he ship bilged, and filled with
water, which came over the cabin floor ; they
fortunately however were enabled to remain by
the wreck till morning, when the tide left the
ffiip, add they all got on shore, and soon got
assistance from fomc of the inhabitants of Pro
vincetown. !,..,,;
