•• The defeat which the Turks have
fuffered from the Ruffians is, we find,
by a letter from Warsaw; still more
considerable than what appeared in
- the Vienna Gazette, The principal
circumstances of the action are the fol

miniani, w here he found & confidera
blf body oj the enemy, amounting to
Sooo men, on this fide of the river
Soreth. He attacked and defeated

out of the canoe, and catching hold
of the 'fide, (he filled and funk. They
swam toward the ffiore, which Capt.
Gardiner reached, but Mr. Blodget

powder flafk and boots, from which
he could not disengage Bimfelf, funk
—A boat with some gentlemen pas.
sing at a distance, were hailed byCapt.
, Gardiner, and with their afliftance the
body was recovered, after it had lain
in the water abdut thirty minutes ;
it was two hours before they got him
ashore —the methods recommended by
the Humane Society were tried with
preserving assiduity by several Physi

signs of animation appeared,to reward
their friendly and patient efforts. Mr.
BLODGET was universally beloved,
his numerous friends sincerely la
meal the unhappy stroke which has fe

Capt. Powars, who arrived here on

left the Cape, that the admiral carried
away his foretopmaff, in consequence
of which the fleet returned into port

Capt. Powars failed.
Capt. Pigeon, who arrived here on
Saturday last in the Brig Constance,
from St. Peters, brought part of the
crew of the ship — , Capt. Spence
which had foundered at sea.—She was
loaded with tobacco from Virginia,
bound to London. The crew saved
themselves in the boat which arrived
at St. Peters 12 days after the Ship

We hear from Acworth, that oh
Tuefday nth inst. a son of Mr. Sup

accidentally fell out of a canoe into a
small brook,and was unhappily drown*

We are credibly informed, that a
marriage lately took place in this state
between 4 Widow of §2, and a Lad
of 14 years of age !
Our accounts from the country are
very favourable-.-A more plentiful
year than the present, is not in the
memory of the oldest man among us--.
Neithermildew nor fly has injured this
grain in the least.-but is heavy arid
full, and in great plenty.---Flax, in
general; is well grown, and in larger
quantities--but indian corn exceeds
them all --Never did the fields afford
so great a profpe& of a plentiful harvest
as they do now ; and should the froft
hold off, the labourer will be abund
antly rewarded fer the sweat of*lti#
brow. Such distinguished favours de
mand the gratitude of the United
States, to the great Author of Nature,
especially when these blessings of na
ture are corinefted in the fame year
with the deliverance from anarchy;
and with the establishment of a wife,
free and just government.

ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.
A certain divine, in the county of
Bristol, about three years since, while
he was delivering his fermon,perceiv
ed that the greater part of the old
people in the body feats, were, fQr
some reason or other (the Minister
may guess what) indulging themselves
in a comfortable nap—and that the
children in the gallery were indulging
themselves in playing—to the no final!
disturbance of the congregation—up
on which the parson made along pause
—and looking up into the gallery,
with a ttern and solemn voice said,
" boys be ftill —if you make such a
noise up there, the old men below,
cannot sleep."

EXETER, august 22.
A Few years since from
Exeter, a PRINTING PRESS,
several Founts of TYPES, BOOKS,
STATIONARY, &<. ^c. ^c. to a
^onfiderable amount, —Enquiry has
bteen made— months spent—much mo
ney expended, &c. to find what rout
they had taken ; but no fatfefadory
or official account could be had at any
Public Office, in time, to answer the
purpose of obtaining such official pa
pers—nor is it believed any such can
ever be found (if there can, it would
be ungenerous to produce them at this
Eleventh hour of the business,) and it
is a fad, if the state ever made a move
ment towards the office in quefton,
and really took—they did not keep
polfeflron, not receive ahy pay for
them—if they had, there would have
be^n an ehd of the matter (in this
country) as at that time they had a
right— but hot doing it, no officer
could give a certificate ——and of
cburfe, no cornpenfation for want of
such certificate, could be got, in the
only place to look for the fame, for
that part of a supposed forfeited claim,
as no government will ever pay for
what private" individuals plunder, and
often times, as of old, gloy in their
jhame.
Common fame, which oft titimes
speaks truth, informs us locks were
broke, and the office, or a part of it,
carried off in the face of day—there
fore, if ariy bystanders, wheelbarrow
men, carters, water-men, or others,
either of Exeter or Portfmohth,.will
come' forward and speak the whole
truth, they shall be rewarded, not ac
cording to their work, but according
to what use can be made of their

dead, as he left the office, with all his
unaccountablenefs behind him, can
not alter justice, nor prevent Others
from refunding, at least, o„r fold, and
