< * • ALARMING!
Extra# of aletter from a gentleman reading on
the Potomak, to the Editors, dated June 29th.
: "ill may be ufetul to many of the citizens of
^ifarytod, to hrnoW the, following occurrences,
which will (hew the perilous situation In which
We Hand tefpefting our negro slaves.
9 " *' People in the neighborhood of Pifcataway
'have been greatly alarmed, by a company of runa
way negroes, who had collected to a considerable
number, and committed depredations of various
kinds, such as, breaking open meat houses, dealing
borfes, and in some instances threatening persons
on the high way<
-" One of their meetings at a negro quarter, was
providentially made known to the gentleman
who ownedthe land, who had it hot in his pow
er to get ^ny affittance ; however, he contrived to
conceal himfelf in such a manner as to hear their
conversion pretty diftinttly.
The/ declared that before the last of August a
E%( deal of blood of the whites, must and would
fpilt. Some were opposed to delaying it so
long, other's, said their plan was not ripe for exe
cution, when l a female declared that they were a
parcel of cowardly fellows or they would have
done this business long ago.
When these things were made know! a number
of persons altociated and armed themselves with
a determination to scour the neighborhood, arid
if possible to find their hiding places.- They have
fortunately taken several, and it is fappufed, dis
persed the rest. Three of those apprehended were
desperate villains, one of them with an axe was
near killing some of the persons who took them.
Ui this settlement we abound with free negroes,
whole idle habits and dissolute live, are the sources
from which many evils spring. Without a speedy
legislative interference, God only knows the fav.
age barbarity that awaits us."

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 1%
' THE corruption of the chriftian religion has
been carried to a great height, and "Begins to be
seen. It has of late, in some measure, been fkreen
ed behind a great zeal against open infidelity.—
But the political cover is so thin, and the corrup
tion so glaring tha, it cannot be kept out of view.
The time is come for it to be exposed, by an ap
peal to the New Testament. And exposed it will
be, more and more, by the light of that book, to
the contusion of the leaders in a national political
religion.
These men cannot conceal their hankering after
the grandeur of the falling papal church. They
rather mourn than'rejoice at the spoiling -of that
grandeur—They love the gaudy show, by which
the multitudes have ' been allured. We need no
Wronger proof of this, than the fadt, that the pro
tenant clergy are now leading rhe people back to
one of the groflett corruptions of the church of
Rome ; the consecration of houses, and making ts
holy places.
When men come tb be persuaded, that God has
given such power to a certain order of men, that by
performing certain ceremonies, they can make a
huofe holy ; can change it from being a common
building into God's houje, or fan&uary, what a high
idea must they entertain of the performers I How
nrturally will,they be flruck with the importance
of hearing an order of holy men, fpeakipg to the
common people in holy temples, consecrated as
preaching houses ? Little do men think that while
they thus labor to impress men with religious awe
of dedicated idols, and by the union of many
worldly motives, gather multitudes together,who
would not dir a Hep to hearse Jim,le gospel,
they are denying that Christ is come, as really;
though covertly, as the infidels, against whom they
raise such a clamor. In'oppolition to all this anti
• chriltian idolatry, all who have an ear to hear the
word df God, will deny all holy places made with
hands, .since the abolition of Jewish shadows.—
They will own no holy place but that where
Chriff has entered ; no house of God but a spirit
ual house, no temples aside from Chrill, and his
heavenly house or church.
Now mark the contrail a little further, and fee
the ways of the people calling themselves Chris
tians, in these days. Even the baptills, the molt
zealous religious fed., go the length of pretend
ing with much pomp and noise to consecrate the
houses they ereft for worship—and their brethren
the congregatibnaliltejoin with them in the religi
ons mummery, fit a late dedication of anew bap
till meeting house at Charleftown, we hear ofa
well known congregational leader, of" much re
nown, introducing the pompous ceremonies. We
need not wonder at his zeal for the holiness of tur
retted preaching houses, when we recollect his la
mentations at tte fall of Popifh chapels, and the
alarm of faft sermons, astho' the temples of God
were falling, and chriftiapity itfelf ip danger of
crumbling into ruins ! His wishes, for the spread
in these Hares, of the works of the Abbe Barruel,.
are well known—and the Abbe considered the
profanation of the majestic temple of St. fynevi
ena at Paris, as bevond all the perfection of the
clergy. You would be ready to think, by his de
scription of its grand emblems, that he considered
it as comprizing all that needed to be known; that
the fight was enough to make men religious—a
mong other things, Christ was represented as de
deliveriog the.keys to Peter : Peterto the Pope ;
and he to his fuceeffor, and so on. The Abbe
considers the holiness of this house to have been so
great, that the gates of hell could not bear it.—
"Hell, fays he, freaking of its profanation, "teas
jealous of the Jacred pile." Can it be matter of
wonder that an, one desirous of fpreadiog the
works of the Abbe, should be a believer in the ho
liness of consecrated houses ?—and a leader in the
solemn farce of consecration ?
The flh of July, (the day on which the inter-.
course and treaty with France were Interdicted)
Which a certain Federal Prophet in our metropo-"
lit, some two years ago, predicted would "ever ^
after be celebrated with as sincere and joyful hi

ver," has, this year, we believe, passed off in si

FROM PORTUGAL.
; By Capt. Williams, who arrived at Glouces
ter, on Friday lad, in 34 daysfrom Lifbop, we
bear, that the Spaniards and Portuguese have had
several Severe engagements on the frontiers of
Portugal, in whicn thb fortner were victorious,
and had destroyed an immense space of Wheat
Fields belonging to the latter.
By an arrival on Saturday last at Marblehead
from Bilboa in 26 days, we learn that, that city
has been dreadfully inundated by the continual
and heavy rains, the water having rose in the
town, 14 fteps* above its usual height.
A vessel belonging to Mr. Hooper, of Marble
head, we are informed, was drove from her an
chors, high and dry into the city.
* A Step is about 8 inches. Bilboa was visited by
a similar dijafter about 50 years Jince, when all
the inhabitants expelled to have perished.
the East India ships arrived at this town, that a
grand expedition had been fitted out from Ben
gal—there were near one hundred fail of large
ships carrying troops, horses, &c. convoyed by
several ships of War under the command of Ad
miral Renier. After the fleet failed, which was
about the firft of March, from Ceylon, where it
had rendezvoused, several small divisions of ships,
departed from the Gauges to join. The fleet
took in a large quantity of water. There are va
rious calculations as to the force of this expedi
tion. Some estimate it at 10.000 men r others as
far as 15,000. There were two European Regi
ments—the remainder is competed of Sepoy
troops, fele&ed from their belt corps. Several
regiments are said to, have been lent from the
Cape of Good Hope to att in concert. There
can be do doubt that this expedition is defined
agaihif the French in Egypt, by the way of the
Red Sea, although the object was kept a molt
profound secret in the Eaft.lndies.
