The valedictory addicis 'of Mr Burr, to the Sen
ate of the United States, has beeoaluhjea of much
comment by all parties of men. In thelaft Wafli
' ington Federal^, we find a fliort account of this
celebrated address, from which we have feleded the
following passages :—
« Mr. BURR,further remarked^ that the ignorant
and unthinking affected to treat as unnecessary and
at fastidious, a riged attention to rules and decorum;
but he thought nothing trivial whh touched, how^
e ver remotely, the dignity oftHrdy, and he aft
" pealed to their experience for the justice ts this
Ks sentiment^ and urged them in language the most
: impressive, and in a manner he most commanding
to avoid tte smallest relaxation of the habits which
) ^b^eyfy l%r*e4/0 inculcate and establish.
%B u §challe,^*their attention to considers

• " it is hee— in this exalted refuge here, if any where

DURING ROBBERY.
Oi Tuefday evening lift between the hours of
to and t t o'clock, a daring arfault and robbery was
, . committed on the persons of Mefrs. Lemuel and
Joseph Pope, of this town. They were crofting
rise (Summon to the dwelling house of the former,
id Pinckrifey-ftreer, when they were assaulted and
forcibly detained by three foot pads, armed with
tong knives and horleftrns piftoh. The object of
* ttyete desperate wretches was money, which they
deminded with threats and menaces. On the re
lated and protected affiances, however,' tf* both
. % th: Mr. Pope#,%r they hid none about them 4fye,
were (offered to proceed, with thf lots only of a
watch, which they forcib v took from them.
SALEM, March 21.
A min, by the name of William Tyrrel, was vetterdsy
apprehended in this town, and examined before Mr.Juftice
Tucker, on fafpicion of having broke into Eff.x Bank.
Among the circumftiuces which appeared against him oil
cxmiMtion, was bis having applied to ffmith in this
town to fege a key to a wooden pattern, which was pro
fr ducetypd whi;h agreed in dimensions with a key be
longing to the bank ; an | a bill of that bank being found
upon him) which wad filled up in a falfe hand. Several
Ibills not riliel up were ft&a when thobank was entered.
The.Judice thought proper to commit him. It was pain
. ful) t) fee a row of his appearance thus arraigned—young,
1 of genteel manners, and intelligent in his observations. He
has been in this town most of the winter, said he belonged
to N:w Orleans, and was travelling principally to fee the
country.
As Pari&has lately been the scene of the most
. Tended ceremonies and processions, we find our
cariosity awakened to fdid its situation at so mem o
- viable an event. Titis city is said to contain 32,000
hou^s, among which are *550 hotels, all of which
#¥ have something deserving of notice, either in sheir
architecture, or their apartments and furniture. In
1789, were 33 Printers in Piris, now 250. Then
120 Bookstores, now 500. The annual consumption
of the city is very great. We find among other ar
ticles, one hundred thousand quintals of fish are e
numerated, la more than three thousand places cos-
4 .3 coafidenhle r„nforeem:nt of trabpa. Lieutenant
General Fox— brother of Charles James Fox
note cbm ninds that fortr:h; which the British
have held force the year 1704.
A foreign Journal remarks, that the United ages
of the sovereigns of Russia, Austria, Prussia, and
v France, amount only to 132 years ; viz. Alexander,
27, Francis, 36, Frederick, 34, and Bonaparte, 35.

CAPTURE OF DOMINICA, BY THE FRENCH
Capt. GiMea, arrived at Philadelphia from Mar
tinique, informs, that on the 26th of February, off
Roleau, he was baar led by an officer from a French
frigate, and treated politely, who informed Capt. G.
that the fleet then in fight had failed 60 days before
from Rochefort, in France that they confined of
leven Blips of the line (one of which was 1 14 guns,
and as Capt. G. could perceive 2 others ot them
were three deckers) five frigates, two armed brigs
(one of them a British armed brig taken on their
pillage totbe Weft.lndies) and four transports with
a large "body of troops, that they had arrived two
days before at Dominica, which they immediately
attacked, a^d that it surrendered in fourteen hours,
that on the 3d fire of the admiral's (hip, they set the
tawn of Rofe^u on fire, which had deftrqyed a great
part of it.-~.The French officers said, that another
French fleet about the fame number of theirs was
to fail from Toulon two or three days before them,
and that they hourly expeded them in the Weft
ladies; Cspt. G.underload that the French meant
next to vifir St. Luc\e and probably Antigua. The
French officer who boarded capt.Gildea who infor
med him that there were three American vessels at
Roseau when they took possession of it,two of which
had failed.
Extract of a letter,rom Paris.
« I yesterday visited Malmaison ; a retired situ>
ation th;» the Emperor is very fond of. He has
there a favorite parrot, which cries out whenever
he sees his master —« Le Grand et Petit Homme !"
« The vintage has been very abundant; in Paris
the finest grapes are sold for one penny per pound.
Within a few days past they have put a tax upon
them ofa half penny a pound.—Whole families live
entirely at present on grapes arid bread. In conse
quence of this great abundance of grapes, wire is
%ld, out of Paris, at one halfpenny a bottle. They
have such quantities, that a person will give two
barrels of wine for one empty carte,—lbid.
MR. BURR.
, fee can be obtained at Paris, and the humblest class
;of citizens are accustomedto use it. Carriages were
lintroduced under Henry 11, and a place assigned
Ithem. About the middle of the last century they
!amounted t 0,1200, but now they reckon 2800, besides
a nearly equal number of light carriages. In an
Itinerary lately published, M.Alletz,the Police Offi'
cer, enumerates in Paris, 1095 streets, besides lanes,
alleys, courts and quays. In the city are 8 public
walks, 18 bridges, 27 hospitals,29 theatres,and places
for public shews, 56 public fountains, 12 prisons,
and 17 learned societies forthe arts and sciences.
The late events have contributed to give to the whole
city an air of gaiety, Musidt the present moment
has all its pleasures. Five or six hundred musical
entertainments have been provided in a day, They
who know the character of the French, and the unn
„sual attention to every excitement of pleasure, will
believe that Paris affords a display of all the luxu
ries of sence, of the richest beauties of the arts, and
a most generous appearance of general happiness.
The number of strangers invited by the late occa
sion is countless , '
Letters from Martinico, to the id March, received at
New-York, state that the French squadron (five fail of the
line, 3 frigates, two brigb, and 3500 troops) arrived there
10th February ; failed the next day for Dominica effcaed
a landing, and destroyed the town of Roffcau ; —but finding
it impracticable to carry Fort Rupert, evacuated the island
on the 2,th February, and failed for Guadeloupe, with
tight or nine English prizes taken on the passage and at
Dominica, leaving the merchants and inhabitants in the
most distressed situation. No mention it made of the cap
ture of St Lucie.

TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1805.
OUR OWN ELECTION.
We lad week gave an opinion that Mr. LANG
DON was defied Governor, and by a c^nfiderable
majority, from information fromtowiis.fioce receiv
ed, we are confirmed in the opinion then expressed.
A very interefti^ recount of the capture of the
Newyork; Captain Seaward will be found in our
firftpage.
No. I, of the Pifeataqua Evangelical Magazine
will be issued from this press next Saturday.
We lass evening received New-Orleans papers
to/eb. 16—They are filled with inflammatory pie
ces against Gov. Claiborne. He appears to have
become extremely unpopular there.
On the 30th January the Legislative Council at
New-Orleans, deliberated the whole day with clo
sed doors, for the first time.
The Hon. Aaron Burr, Sc J. Q. Adams,esq'rs. Sc
Commodore Preble, arrived at Philadelphia, on the
21st instant from Washington.
The American Commander who saved two hun
dred and sixty Germans, from a sinking ship,
bound to Philadelphia, was captain GAGE, <*the
schooner Industry, of Portland.
g, Capt. Defhon,who brought the above letters—which
being from French merchants are probably correct —in
forms that he few the fleet passing St. Pierre's (M) on its
way, as it was fappofed, for Antigua, and that the French
expe&cd to be joined by a fleet of fifteen fail from Toulon.
Should the intelligence of the failing of the Toulon fleo,
far the Weft- Indies, prove £nrre&, that region will become
the theatre of important events ; and a great spur will be
given to American commerce and erterpnze.
