BOSTON, JAN. 15.
TIPPO SAIB.
B, an arrival at Salem, from Indid, a
Calcutta paper has been received, which
gives accounts of the operations of that
inveterate enemy of the English, Tippo
Saib; the successor of the famous Hyder
Ali, against the Rajab of Travencohe. Lp
one battle with the Rajab, Tifepo is said
to have been defeated, with the loss of
1300 men—and in a second, he is said to
have assaulted the Rajab lines with incre
dible* ferocity and bravery, and after a
long contest, obtained a vidory. Th'6
Rajab cf fravencore is assisted by his ally,
the English with considerable bodies of
troops,and according to the last accounts,
Ttypo, with 1507000 men was preparing
to attack them—between whom a fefious
battle was expected.
The petition of Seth Harming, late
commander of the continental Frigate
Confederacy, praying compensation for
losses and services during the lace war,was
read and referred to a feleft committee.
A letter from the Attorney-General of
the United States, accompanied with a
report containing observations on, and a
plan for a judiciary system, was read,
and ordered to be committed to a com
mittee of the whole house nekt Wednes
day week, and 300 copies ordered to be
printed.
Mr. Goodhue from the committee on
the petition of Sb^bal Swaine, reported a
bill for his relief by remitting his fine,
which was read the firft time.
GOOD beef fells now in the market
of this city, at rivo pence half penny
to threepence per pound—freih Butter at
one foiling, and Hickory Wood, brought
in from the country by land, at 40 fhil
li"gs [ A v > dollars and one third] per cord.
When we consider the fuperiour quality
of the Pennfyivania hickory., and that
the citizens are not fubjeded to the ex
pense of carting, we shall find that fire
wood is, at this season, cheaper than it
was at any time last fall.
The business, which came rrft under
ron fideration, being of a secret nature,
the doors were for some time (hut.
Agreeable to the standing order of the
day, the House resolved itlelf into a com
mittee of the whole, on the Rate of the
Union, to take into confederation the re
port of the Secretary of the Treasury on
the bill for establishing land offices.
Last Tuefday morning about 6 o'clock
the public goal in this town was difeo
vered to be on fire, which in a short time
reduced it to ashes.
After some time spent in debate the
bill being gone through the committee
rose, and the chairman reported, That
the committee according to order had un
der their consideration the bill for estab
lishing land offices, and had come to fan
dry resolutions, which were ordered to
lie on the table.

riod of life
That 'FAIR PLAY is a JEWEL' is
an adage not more common, fays a cor
respondent, than well founded. The com
plete triumph, which it has procured the
friends of an honorable gentleman, in
the late election, is a striking confirma
tion of it. While this gentleman was
the fubjeft of every species of calumny,
misrepresentation and falfhood, thro' all
quarters of the State, his friends, disdain
ing to have any hand in so scandalous a
game, and fully persuaded that the more
his character and< conduct in Congress
were scrutinized, the more fatisfactory
they would appear, contented themselves
with directing the attention of the candid
public to the only, unfufpedled sources of
information refpe&ing them—the printed
journals of the lower house and the testi
monial of a difintercßed and distinguish
ed character — 4 — The event demonitrates
how well their confidence was founded.
Uncommon meafuft, whether nurfued
by a very ordinary or a very extraordinary
young man, will always attract the notice
of difeerning and influential men. In
this instance they Were*led to search into
the nature of pretentions, which could
require such firigular support. The result
of this enquiry and of a careful examina
tion into the comparative merits of the
rivals is apparent in the issue of the elec
tion— from which (continues our corres
pondent) future candidates for fimilat
appointments may learn two or three le r
forrs, that may be very ufeful to them.
1/ From the reelection of the gentleman
in quellion, by so refpe&abla a majority,
obtained by meafurcs perfectly manly and
honorable, in the belt-informed parts of
the State, let such gentlemen as now hold
places of importance, by the fuffrages of
their fellow-citizens, learn that, (except
they become unmindful of the particular
friends, to whom they are more immedi
ately indebted for them) able and faithful
fruices will secure them not only the pre
sent gratitude and confidence of their
constituents, but their future patronage
and support. 2. New candidates may
learn that, in a matter of so much impor
tance as the choice.of federal representa
tives, the public will exercise their right
of examining into their qualifications
and judging for themselves—and that,
while unfounded pretensions meet with the
disappointment they deserve, real merit,
tho' modefl, will find powerful patrons
and numerous friends. 3. Candidates
of every description mayJearn that vilify
ing and Wandering their rivals, puffing
themfrvles in newspapers, riding the cir
quit of the date, fawning on men whom
they despise, &c.&c. are of as little avail
to men whole qualifications are esteemed
problematical as they are unceffary for
gentlemen of established reputation—and
that, where thegeneral character and con
duct of a candidate do not inspire confi
dence,not even *BRANDY can save him.
