BALTIMORE^ June 7. #
The notorious Bowles, who has considerable in
fluence over the southern Indians, has involved
the Chebans and Creeks in a war with the Span
iards of Ea(t Florida. A Cbarleftou paper, alter
enumerating many of his late predatory atts, con
cludes as follows—
“ The result of this bulinefs will finally be, that
the Creek nation (deluded by Bowles) who had
received all aid and afliltance from the Spanish
government, and by whom they never were inter
rupted, will now, in all probability, be much dlf
treffed, and drove back, by which they will loose
that peaceable and bentficral traffic they had with
their friendly and good natured neighbours."
BOSTON, June 19.
On Thursday, the anniversary of the memorable

composed of Capt. Johonnot, and Bray's compa
nies, under the command of the former, marched
to Breed's Hill, where they performed a spirited
and well-conducted representation of real action.
After which, the fob-legion proceeded to Massa
chusetts-Hall (Page's) where, in company with a
number of invited guests, they partook of a very
sumptuous and well attended dinner.

Thefa^m William Plumer, Esquire, is made
choice of to fill the vacancy in the Senate of the
United States, made by the resignation of .Mr.
Sheafe..
COMMUNICATION.
The resignation ot the very honorable one of
our “ dumb Legislators," for ' the state of New-
Hampshire, in Congress, will no doubt be very
cheerfully accepted ; he has the best apology for
himfelf, for the best of all poflible reasons " shat
be had nothing to fay .'"—lt is very likely that he
will be WW/ilently employed by his friend and
principal mover in carrying on the work of dis
union and alarm. It will be well for all or legis
lators to read Governor Strong's speech, and com
pare it wiQi Governor Gilman's recommendation
of« Energy," and the " fegret' for the much a
bused licence of the press." The firfl man in
Portsmouth, or in the state of New Hampshire
.that would dare to breake or infufe the fenlimcnt
of refinance to the National government will be
likely to have his house fazed to its foundation,
. by the spirits bf '76 ; so little is to be expected
from the people ot New-Hampshire, by the disap
pointed difuniters of bur once mure happy Onion.
Portsmouth, June 21, 1802.
In a high-toned Ariflocratic paper, b new charge
is brought againfl President Jefferson, which is
this—" That every Sunday he rides to meeting on
horseback, (inflead of going in a coach and four, as
Mr. Adams did) and hitches his Horje, at a long
row of hooks, AMONG THE HORSES OF COMMON
people ! .'" -According to the ideas of these
Aristocratic gentry, not only the Men in power, but
rilfo their Horses, ought to be invetted with pecu
liar privileges and prerogatives, and tautioufly
kept at a diflance from the "vulgar herd."
Caligula, the Roman emperor, seems to have en
tertained similar ideas, when he built his horse, In
citatus, a marble (table and ivory manger, fed him
with gilt oats and wine, had centries placed near
him to prevent his lleep from being interrupted,
appointed him to the prieltliood, and nominated
him for the confullhip. " (True Amer.
ToryjedcraUJm is so exaft a counterpart of for
mer toryijm that the mod fuperficial observer can
not be deceived as to the object and delign of the
leaders of that unprincipled party ; the moftfafci
nating appearance bears but a feint evidence of
internal merit —the hearts of the tories, y'clip'd
federalists, are “desperately wicked," although
their outward semblance bears feme analogy to
rectitude; as a great statesman aptly observed.
<< these pleasant blood-fuckers will sap the date of
its most dear, unalienable rights." But, thank
God our tights are yet secure, by our vigilant
watc'hfulnefs; and the love of mercy Fields the en
emies of independence from that vengeance their
crimes so richly deserve.

This amiable young woman was on the point of
being married, the young man was to fee her the

greater poignancy to the affliction. Her niothei
was the firlt that discovered her, and supposing her
to be alleep, went in to awake her ; —But think of
the tender mother's surprise, when she found her
beloved child a corpse ! ' .We will only add, that,
we hope the balm of consolation, will be poured
into the deeply afflicted breads of these bereaved
parents, dnd their many connections.
