SALEM, February 6.
I- AST Wednesday we received the melan
- /choly news of the Ihip Postilion, Capt.
Friend, of this Port, but last from Guadaloupe,
being cast away upon Bood-Ifland ledge ; they
left the Vineyard on Sunday morning,'and by
laccident cver-ftior their port, owing as it is
thought to an easterly current, and on Monday
I about 8 o'clock, P. M. they were close aboard
Ithe breakers; they attempted to stay the (hip,
I but Ihe miffed flays, and there was not room
to ware before Ihe struck; they immediately
hoisted out their small boat, but the sea soon
filled her, and Ihe funk; they then proceeded
to throw their guns overboard, and cut away
her masts; after two or three hours Seventeen
of the men, thinking it impossible to save
themfclves on the wreck, as her bottom was
beat through, got into the long boat, cut the
gripes, and the sea providentially washed her
overboard, and the men fafe in her. They
left the Captain, second mate, and five hands
on board the wreck, none of which could be
prevailed on to take their chance in the boat;
which left the wreck about twelve o'clock at
might, and they all arrived fafe on shore that
wentin the boat, about nine o'.cl ck on Fuel
day morning at Wells. No further account
has been received of her, as the weather was
ver^ftermy the next day, and it is conjectured
that tttpfe left on the wreck perilled, and it
was not possible to fend them speedy affittance.
The flip was loaded with molasses, fegar, &c.

Mr. Loudon,
I Have for feme time laboured under painful
ooubts, relative to feme particulars in our
prefect fyflem of polices; for the removal
of which, I Hfh, through the channel of yourt
paper, to ^re a few queries, an an'fwer to
which will much oblige one of your conitant
readers.
@<ry 1. Is a vigorous prosecution of the
war, and a lucrative commercial intercouri?
with the enemy, circUmrtances compatible?
2. Is an exchange of produce or ipecic, for
friperhuities of British manufacture, a measure
calculated %o enervate tre arm of tyranny, and
freure us from a repetition of its painful
firokes; or rather is it not an impious viola
tion of the firft article of our political creed?
3. Is the collecting the necessary fuppliet of
bread, attended with ahn^Q inoperable -dif
ficulties, wbilft the exportation of wheat and
flour ou or toe state i'» the conitant employ of
hundreds ?
4. Can a speedy termination of the war,
be as immediately the ~ ;fra. f the man's pur
suit, who is cortinoaby smarting ri@e§tb him
felf in conference of its continuance, as of
him who is obliged to reft.id the usual expen
ditures of his family, in older to contribute his
ratio of the public expence?
5. Have the matters suggested in the fore*
going queries, b^en ! afona&v a ,,l drfiritereft
edly attended to by t^e guard ^o3'of bur state,
and have meafares beer adapted agreeable to
the refuse? Or have we : in feme f river pe
riod of life through a meritorious deportment,
frcured the agency of Beaten to that degree
that the mast inconfifent cor duct, may lay no
bar in the way of our political Nivation.

It is more than time, fays a correspondent,
that the interest on our new money be allowed
bv the receiver. At the last court of Oyer and
Terminer, in the county of Morris, a gentle
man was printed to the grand jury for re
fufing to allow the interest. This will be a
fufficient caution to the wife to allow it in fu,
