ON Saturday lad, in the afternoon, a female of
light complexion, tolerably handsome, (with a
child in her arms) entered a store in Eflex street,
and enquired for SHOES. A number were hand
ed her to try on ; and, after fumbling some time,
the said none of them would suit, and enquired
for other articles, which the looked at without
purchasing. The /hop-keeper thinking (he had
grown copulent, during the visit, flirewdly fuf
pedted her of violating the Bth commandment,
and very frankly communicated his suspicions to
his fair customer, who preremptorily denied the
faft, and very willingly offered to submit TO
search, at the fame time protesting her innocence,
and regretted the Chock her sensibility had sus
tained from his cruel suspicions. The modetty
of the Chopk@eper forbid him to infpeft she pre
mlfes, and he very politely craved pardon for his
fajuftice, on her taking from her pocket a pair
of Choes, which evidently were not his. He re
newed his apologies for his unkind suspicions, as
the lady was departing when, Chocking to be
hold ! down dropt, from her guilty carcase, four
pair of his own Choes ! and on further inspection
two pair more were found—the firft pair the ex.
hibited being a pair she had taken from Mr.
Chase's shoe store—making in the whole seven
pair which the fair thief was incumbered with.
After a'confelfion of her guilt, tears, and hysterics,
out of pure regard to her innocent offsping, she
Was difmifled, on a solemn promise of doing so no
wore. Salem pap.
oHAIL, happiest TEra ! (plendid day !
When Gallia, rous'd from her long lethargy,
At once refolv'd to be both great and free,
Indignant rose, oppreft with heaviest wrongs,
To hurl the tyrants from their thrones'!
In vain despotic pow'rs in league unite,
And, mad with'rage, rush furious to the fight!
The goddess Liberty beholds with jealous eyes,
Their hell-born pupofes, and thus (he cries ; —•
Come mighty Genius, Come!
Each gen'rous heart inform ;
The noble thought inspire, the martial deed ;
And on, my fen- to fame and vidl'ry lead !
Sudden, impetuous turn'd the tide of war ;
Th' all-conq'ring sword terriffic gleam'd from far,
O'er seas and lands gay Freedom's banners wave !
Heaven aids the virtuous, refolv'd and brave,
To crulh the tyrants, and the nations save.
Pcieils, despots, minions fee their efforts vain,
And gnash their teeth, and wreath with mental
pain!
Hail happiest £ra ! splendid, new-born day I '
Nations triumph in thy celestial ray !
Still (hall they triumph, as the ages roll—
Aad speed thy salutary light from pole to pole !

0! Lov'd Republic ! live supremely great,
Beyond the reach of fraud, or wayward fate !
Had I a seraphs tongue, or his exalted key ;
Ne'er would I cease to sing, and tell of thee.
Through ev'ry clime thy glories I'd make known,
Repeat the wonders thy own worth hath done ;
But their bright influence their fame secures,
And peace and freedom to the world insures.
Thousands of projects vain have prov'd ;
In vain the proudest hosts have mov'd,
With terror and deftruftion arm'd ;
Still freedom sweet mankind hath charm'd :
Swift myriads to her standard flew,'
And tasted joys before never knew.
Ltye, great Republic 1 all enraptur'd sing
Olive ! and flourish in immortal spring!
Till cpuntlefs brilliant glories round thee Ihine,
Than funs more splendid, radiant and divine !

BY an Advertisement published lalt Tuefda, by
Messrs. Wilfbn and Swan, it may be inferred
that Bank Notes were delivered to me to the a
mount of 1500 Dollars; and the whole tenor of
the advertisement feenis to be an attempt to throw
an obloquy on my character. The following
statement of fafts, which I can support by teltimo
ny, will at once remove the impression of my re
ceiving money, and the villainous attempt at ca
lumniating my character by their unjud publics- -
tion.
Mr. Swan, of the House of Wilson and Swap,-!
came to the Poll-Office between the hours of ,
and 10 o'clock in the evening of the CTh uh. and
he deliverd me a Letter—l then took it and put
it in the Mail in his presence (as he flaid some con
siderable time after the delivery of the letter)
which mail was regularly put up with the others,
as usual, and sent from this Office.
How Messrs. Wilson and Swan came by their in
formation that the letter was fupprefled, and Bank
Notes taken out, we leave the public to decide.
