three promising ions burnt with the house,
L one of 13, one of 11, and one of 9 years.

Alorrid Murder!
We hear from Andover, (Massachusetts)
that on Wednesday last week, between the
W hours of 12 and one in the morning, a most
[ horrid murder was committed on the body'
ft of Capt. Charles Furbuft, of Andover, by a
Negro man of his own family, named Pomp.
1 The family of the deceased, confined of his
j wife, a son, three daughters, and the Negro
before mentioned. The son and twy of the
W daughters were from home. The deceased
and his wife, slept as usual in the room of the
'lower floor, and the daughter in a bed room
ft adjacent. The Negro had retired to hi,
chamber without any signs of uneasiness
[ known to the family. But between twelve
and one, he got up, dressed himfelf, and firft
alarmed the daughter, by an attempt to get
into her room, but finding the door faftened,
he desisted from the attempt. He immedi
(ately entered the room of the deceased, while
he and his wife were both in a found deep,
and struck him with the head of an axe upon
his left temple, with filch force as to dash in
the (cull; and with a second blow, partly on
the left eye, and partly on the cheek, drove in
the bones—he expired immediately without
a groan. The blows awoke Mrs. Furbulb,
who instantly springing up, the negro left
the room.. The daughter also hearing the
fblows, and the screech of her mother, inltant
(' %/ ran in, unJ with her mother, attempted to
raise up the body of the deceased, but finding
no signs of life, made their efca?e by a back
way to the nearest neighbor, tocall assistance
—ln the mean time, to complete the horrid
scene, the negro returned, took off his coat,
^turned up his shirt lleeves, and with a knife
most inhumanely cut his master's throat,—
He then dragged the body from the bed, and
left it naked on the floor. By this timeaffift
<ence came, and found the negro standing by
the kitchen fire! Being alked what he had
/ween doing, he reidily confeffed the fact, and
delivered himfelf up ——Thus died Captain
Chafles Fur&ufh, in the 39th year of his age,
* .who has left an afflicted family, and friends,
+^ment his untimely fife !
.he negro is confined in Ipswich jail.

FRENCH AMBASSADOR.
Entrap of a letter from Baltimore, dated Feb. 3.
" There is nothing new here at
present but the following, which.!
have just received from the Custom-
House—t hat there are arrived in the
Chesapeake, two French line of battle
ships, and three frigates ; that the,
have qciboard an Ambassador from
the National Convention tqjhe Unit
ed States ; and it is reported he has
with him a new treaty between France
,nd America. As several English
fbips of war haye been lately cruising
off our coasts, probably this French
fleet may fall in with them; in that
case we may soon expert to hear of an\
engage ment."
Citizen Houdard, we learn, is ap
pointed to be Minister to the United
Q° '''''
States, from the French Republic ;
and Citizen Latombe, formerly Ccn
ful here, to be Consul General. Re
ports from the southward, mention
their arrival in the/Chefapeake.
The Weftern Posts,
Which have to long been a bone of
contention between the United States
and Greatbritain, and which are to be
delivered up to the American arms,
'in June 1796, are four in number, viz.
Oiwego, at the entrance of lake On
tario, where the Bririfh have a com
pany of foot; and a Custom Houle,
to prevent illicit trade in furs, &c.
Niagara, on the fame lake, about
100 miler. This tort stands in a com
manding fiction, on a point formed
by the junction of the river, and i; a
regular fortification, in good repair,
and well garrisoned.
Detroit, about 300 miles east of
Niagara, is fituafe on the east fide of
the ftreights, between lake Erie, and
Huron, where there is a handsome
town, regular fortification, & a strong
garrison.
Michilimackinac is to the north
ward of Detroit, about 350 miles, on
an island between Lake Huron and
Michigan, an entire bed of gravel, in
capable of cultivation, but most re
mat kable for being the general deposit
and grand rendezvous of all the In
dian traders who meet in the month
of June, from every quarter, deliver
their furs, and receive their out fits for
the ensuing year. Besides these, Fort
Miami, built by Cob. Campbell, is also
within our lines, and will be given up.
There are some accounts at the southward,
which give feeble hopes that Gen. La Fayette
has effected his escape—The prayer of Amer
icans is, that they may not prove illusive.
THE PROSPECT OF PEACE, ^hich of late
apparently appeared so briliant, is now ooer/had
oiued. The National Convention has pratefed
against a General peace—and Mr. Pitt, the prime
direßor of affairs of England, if not of coalesced
Europe, it frortgly for war. Austria is rna&g
redoubled efforts to bring into the field a formidable
army, early in thefaring ; and since the unfortu
nate turn of affaire in Poland, the king of Prussia
talks of fulfilling his former contraQs of actively
operating in the war. Holland will unquestiona
bly make peace, and perhaps Spain will Juefor the
Jame ; but as these powers have dene but little in
the war, we may renew our prediaion, that a ge
neral peace will not take place these twoyears.
Stocks have risen 5 per cent.face the treat, has
arrived. 6 per cents are above par.
The Portuguese admiral at Gibraltal lately sent
a convoy to pretea American vtfls at. Malaga,
which was highly approved of by his court.

BARCELONA?AKEN,
Intelligence by Capt. Barker, arrived
at Marblehead lift week, in 30 days
from Lisbon, fays, that 3 days previ
ous to his failing, an- express arrived
at Lisbon, with news that the French
had positively taken Barcelona, after
a battle which lasted three days. The
commanders of both armies were kil
led. Capt. B. was at Bilboa a short
time before, and while there, about
2000 of the French attacked a city
defended by 5000 Spaniards, within
25 miles of that place, took it, and
pillaged every kind of public proper
ty, and then left it.
It was the general opinion at Bilboa,
that that place would be taken by the
French as soon as the spring opened.
At the very name of a Frenchman,
the Spaniards turn pale. Capt. Barker,
heard nothing laid refpeaing peace.
