The following Singular circumstance hap
pened in Holland on the 2d inst. when the
enemy were driven from Camperdown-Hills
—lt is related ,by a person who was on the
spot « I fayra French fqldior, one of their
infantry, lying dead, having been fhot^ thro'
thT breast; a little fpaniei, remarkably beau
tiful, lying by his fide. Two of our pion
eers coming by I desired them to take away
^ the dog—lt was with difficulty they could
~catth him, as he ran round his dead matter,
and seemed determined not to be separated
from him. They at length caught him and
carried him away above half a mile, and
quite out of fight of the dead body, but he
got from them by a sudden spring and ran
back again. I had the curiosity to return
to fee his behaviour. I found him taking
hold ofthe soldier's hand, pulling it, and
barking incessantly, in this situation I left
the poor animal. I was told the next morn
ing by a dragoon, who came that way ; that
after the pioneers had buried his matter,
he had scratched the sand, and made a hole
large enough to hold himfelf, where he con
tinued howling and mourning for the whole
of the 3d. until one man more cruel, or
mpre kind (I know not which) than the rest,
put an end to his exigence, by knocking
him on the head with the 'butt end of his
mtrfqueC:

Portsmouth, March 11, xSoo.
Wanted Immediately,
At the REPUBLICAN PRINTING-OFFICE,
TWO smart active Lads as Ap
prentices.
Having been favored with the following Solilo
quy from a worthy fubferiber (who had neglelied
for three years to pay up his fabfeription to our pa-,
per) enclosing his arrears, we think an acknowl
edgment of a receipt of it cannot be made more
public than by giving it a place in our paper, trail
ing that our delinquents will be eager to follow the
example of his justice.
" TO pay, or not to pay ?" that's the question!
Shall the 13th of this mouth arrive.
And I to willet & O'Connor remain a debtor ?
Shall all the labortf these men be loft?
Shall all their effort for the public good
Be thus rewarded ? and I their hard-earn'd due
Keep fafe in pocket ?
To pay ! aye, there's the rub ; to feel the dol
lars
Sliding from the pouch, perhaps ne'er fee them
more.
What a Printer I that he's in want of CASH :
To serve the public that's enough for him :
What if the devils flarve, where's the harm.
I'm not the only one in fault :
My pittance is but small account;
But yet, when thought, coroding thought,
Takes full possession of my brain,
And all the ills of ray default come full upon me,
I look back, even on the printer's imp,
And fay, poor devil, you (hall not starve.
What! dial! 1 be mean enough
To keep my fob well loaded with the current
coin,
Apart of which justice and honor ,
Demand that you Should have?<
No ! I'll psy ; I'll not remain a public debtor,
E'en if my corn a (hilling less doth yield.
What will the loss in a few barrels be ?
Much perhaps to them, but nought to me.
What if, to keep the types (till going,
One of the firmfhould take the rounds,
(As I learn e'er (hort he will)
To make.colleQion of their great arrears !
Shall I, with visage careless of the claim,
' Send him away as empty as he came ?
No! justice directs my hand to where the dollars
are,
And I full retribution make.fr all.their labors.
No ! he (halt not give me one fruitle(s call ;
He (hall not as a dun approach my door :
I'll fend them what I know their due.
This bi/Hhbll fatisfy them : I - now enclose it.
There, go 1 I freely part with yon.:.
You relieve my mind of the toilsome load, - a j
The debt of honor and of juUice.
