That after the natives of the N. W.
got poffeffioo of the Brig ^ aldington,
Capt, Kendrick, killed sixty of them
before he could recover his vessel—and
that the two seamen of the Columbia,
Capt. Grey, who were massacred on
that coatl, did belong to Nantucket,
by the names of Folgier and Barnes.
The following are the particulars of the
dreamful jbipiureck yesterday :—
ON Wednesday evening lad, the
weather looked gloomy, the
wind blowing from the northward,
every thing indicated an approaching
gale. —In the morning the wind fhift
ed suddenly to the westward, varying
to the foothward, from whence it blew
with prodigious violence, accompani
ed by a most tremendous swell. The
vessels in the road made every effort
to get to sea ; two of them succeeded.
The Ihip Britannia Capt. Wood
year, after using every method in the
power of the captain and crew to get
her out, and parting four anchors, at
last struck on the bar, about 3 o'clock
yesterday morning ; her masts were
immediately cat away. The passen
gers and crew, amounting to upwards
of thirty,exhibited the most melanchol
ly fpedacle we ever beheld. About
tec the ship began to go to pieces —
the ccew had a raft made, on which
seven of them, and two women (wives
of invalids going home) and a child
ventured to endeavor to get on shore,
but their efiorts were in vain, for a
violent sea, leparated them from' the
ship, and dashed the raft to peices, 4
men only being saved. The Ihip
soon broke to pieces, and the situation

ALARMING RIOT IN PARIS™
THE English papers, contain ma
ny particulars of a violent com
motion in Paris, on the 20 of June
last. The Parisians, incensed at the
refufal of the King to approbate the
Decrees againlt the Nonjuring clergy,
and for forming an army near Paris,
in a body of near 100 000 perlons,af
failed the King's residence, and near
40 000 of them armed with pikes,
fticks,bayonets &c. forcibly entered all
the chambers of the Palace. On en
tering tire roo ^ where the Kirg was,
one of the enraged mob aimed a Hroke
with a bayonet, at the King's break,
and that his life was preserved, was
owing to the gallantry of one of the
National Guards, a youth of 18, who
mot only refilled the affailaur, b'ut
drove him from the room. The Na
tional Guard round the King, exhibit
ed the molt faithful loyalty, and plac +
ed their own lives in every way of
danger. The King fheWed an uncom

hands of one of his Guards, and plac

he, " IF THERE ARE ANY PAL

his person inviolate —and the Mayor
of Paris with the Municipality, at
tempted to persuade the King, that
this mob of " Freemen" had nothing
more in view than to plant a May-
Tree, (an emblem, similar to our for

with fternefs, said, " He had himfelf

tranquility of Paris,immediately to re

B OS TON, September 10.
FROM THE WEST-INDIES.
On the ifh of July, the coloured
army, in number,about 2,500 march-I
ed into town, under arms, and a trea
ty of peace was fettled, but 3 cis feared
not to be fafting ; but at present all is
at peace with the mulatcoes & whites
—but that the negroes are still in in
furredion on the plains and northcoaft
—very little produce is to be had, and
'.is very dangerous to go into the
country, and that the negroes seemed
determined never to bebrought under
thtir former fubjedion—that they fear
an attack on the town by them—No
crcops have yet arrived from France—
That or the 4th of August the Decla
fengers and crew was at this time in,
difcribably pitiful. Capt. Wood
year, Mrs. Moore, and 4 of the men,
were the only persons remaining on
the wreck, all the others being either
walked off or endeavoring to save
themfeives by fwiming. The Cap
tain did gvery thing in his power to
save Mrs. Moore, but at length was
so exhausted, he was not able to pre
vent her falling a prey to the devour
ing waves. A boat was several times
endeavouring to be got off to theiraf
finance,but in vain :—about 3 o'clock,
the captain was to entirely spent, that
he was compelled to leave the wreck —
when picked up he was nearly dead,
and every endeavor to restore him to
life proved ineffectual. The others
that were with him, were drowned a
bout the fame moment, except one
man, who very fortunately got on
shore, tho' in a very languid state. It
is impossible for us to defcrite this
melancholy Icene as it deliver. The
case of the unfortunate Mrs,. Moore
was truly pitiful —she was seen -from
the shore by her friends with her
youngest child in her lap, wringing
her hands in the utmost agony of de
spair, without having it in their power
to give her the bait afliftance. Her
other son and her brother in the fame
melancholy fituatior—in short, the
feme was Io dreadful, that the tears of
the people on ffiore spoke their fenfi.
bility on the truly diftre ffiug occofion
To increase its horror, the bro hers of
the unfortunate Capt.were among the
Ipe^atort —to paint their agonizing
feelings on the deplorable situation of
- brother, we think ut^rly impossi
ble ! Os the whole on board, 9 only
remain to relate the melancholy tale.
This morning presented a dreadful
feene indeed, the beach being covered
with dead bodies that had been call on
shore in the night.
The loss of this (hip must be very
great, as we are informed she had on
board bjohds sugar, betides rum and
cotton.

" A '^" " a y' a £°> several Chiefs
came in from Opee, a place
high upon the Illinois river, and
in their speech to Major Hamptramck
told him they were frequently invited
and threatened by Miami Indians to
induce them to go to war against us,
but that they had not, nor did intend
to do it. That we mud keep a good
heart, for we should have a great ma
ny more to fightyhis year than we had
lad—wilhed us success, and hoped we
might give them a good drubbing.—
The Major enquired whether the Brit
ish made them any present —they re
plied, that theßritilh gave them goods
like Racks of hay, provisions, arms,
amunitioa, and every thing but big
guns,
"Indeed every intelligence we have
received from the Miami villages,cor
robate so far as to convince ns that
there will be double the number of
Indians in the field thisyear,than were
the last; and the Britffh continue to
supply them with every thing they
want ; so that 1 think a few of us will
be apt to loose our hair.

'COMMENCEMENT.
DIED—At Hampton, Sept. 6, a£,
ter a short illness, the Rev. Ebenezer
Thayer, &c. 58- in whom the com
munity has loft a valuable member, and
the religious society in Hampton a
most amiable and ufeful minister.—
Mr. Thayer, was admirably formed
for the office which he fuflained.— He
was peffeffed of an uncommon flhare
of prudence and an excellent temper.
—He was meek, humble, courteous,
obliging, compaflicnate toward the
miserable, and benevolent to all—
He was a man of fcid integrity, and
unfeigned devotion.—Tbeie virtues
whilst they enriched his private cba
rafter, gave him fuperiour advantages
as a minifler of religion,—For they
enforced, at the fame time that they
illustrated the moral lessens, which he
addressed to his charge.—For he con,
fidered rational preaching as the belt
of preaching—and rational chrillians
as the only persons who underhand the
gospel, and were an honor to the caule.
—Accordingly, he studied to be plain
and practical, in order that tboie, to
whom he ministered, might be led
from the path of {peculation to that of
evangelical duty.—During 26 years,he
served the religious society in Hamp
ton, to their great fatisfadiion. —Nor
were his labours left acceptable, to the
neighboring churches.^—ln Borton,(hjs
native place) he was always received
and heard with pleasure. Many
friends have mingled their tears with
those of the widow, the children, the
sisters, the neighbouring minifies,
and the people of his charge. —And
long will they cherish the rememb
rance of virtues, which formed the
husband, the parent, the brother, the
minifler and the chriftian.— —
