' New-york, Sept. 18.
Captain"' French, of the ship Hiram, ar
rived here on Saturday from the Isle of May,
informs us, that on the 2d inst. in lat. 36,
long 72, he picked up Capt. Spalding and
the crew of the ship General Lincoln, of
and for Alexandria, last from the Isle of
May. The vessel had sprung a leak, and
made water so faft that she could not be kept
free. At the time Captain French perfor
med this a& of humanity, the General Lin
coln was half filled with water, and he be
lieves she must have gone down in a very
little while.
Sag-Harbor Aug. 28.
LAST week a Connecticut sloop on her way to
this port, anchored off Middletown, where she lay
during a violent thunder dorm. After the ttorm
had subsided, a number of the passengers concluded
to take lodgings on shore. With this view a Cap
tain Dickinson, who was one of he number
brought the boat along fide, stepped into it, and
called to his wife, who was waiting on deck, and
holding out his arms to assist her, she sprang into
them, when the sudden exertion to receive her,
and the violent motion of the boat, threw them
both into the water; it was very dark, and there
being no one on deck but a boy, whose fright pre
vented him from giving affiflance, or immediate
alarm, they were unfortunately drowned before
any one could relieve them.
Capt. Dickinson, we heer, was from Rocky-
Hill. had commanded a ship from Baltimore and
was a man of good repute. We here, also, that
they left several young children behind.—Unhap

TERRIBLE TORNADO.
Wednesday lad a most violent hurricane
was experienced in Newbury and Salisbury,
the course of the wind was from S. W. to
N. E. accompaned with rain or lightning,
the clouds exhibited a most portentibus ap
pearance, the vein of wind was confined to
a narrow compass, not more than 80 rods
wide, and swept almost every thing in its
course Newbury a part of the dwel
ling-boufe of Mr. David Bartlet was taken
entire from the floor, and carried several
rods, leaving the attonifhed family with no
other covering than the canopy of heaven,
—no one was injured.—Mr. B's barn was
likewise blown over. The houfeof Widow
Bartlet was much injured, and barn blown
entirely to pieces ; a house of Mr. John Da

CHARLESTON,, ept. 6.
By abatement of Interments in this City, given
by the City Marshal, it appears, that the deaths
during the month of August last, amounted to 57,
viz. 27 M hires, 30 blacks, two of the former died
of the Yellow Fever, the only cases of that disor
der in this month. The number of interments dur
ing the fame month in 1800, was 165, viz: in
whites, 54 olacks---tbere were in this month 55 in
terments from the Yellow Fever. In 1800, the
deaths in the fame month amounted to 181, viz.
129 whites, 52 blacks eighty-Jive of whom died of
the Yellow Fewer.
By the above statement, it will be found that the
mortality in the month of August, this year, has
been coafiderable less than it was during the fame
month in the two preceding years.

Fewer —There have been thirteen new cases since
the 12th inst.
The following accident happened a short time
since, near Quibble-Town, in this date :—As a man
was driving a two-horse waggon, loaded with
powder, along the road which runs on the bank of
the river, he fell asleep.—He had not been long in
this condition, when the horse who was next the
river, and who was blind, left the road, and, not
withftandiog the reluctance of his companion, by
the print of whose hoof it was afterwards seen
he had exerted all his strength to avoid the pre
cipice, precipitated themselves, the waggon, and
its contents, a distance of 15 or 20 feet perpen
dicularly from the top of the bank into the river
below !—One of the horses was killed, the drowsy
driver much hurt and worse frightened, and the
powder considerably damaged.

The Feds are strangely altered in this
place since last year. Then, they were full

What a wonderful alteration !

mac just above this town, whirling vast
quantities of water ihto the air, and at Sal

terially damaged—-one barn was blown en
tirely to pieces, and another unroofed.--The
house and one barn, the proberty of Mr.
Ezekael Jones, the other house belonged to
the widow Preffey.-- The orchard of a Mr.
Morrill, in the fame neighbourhood, confut
ing of 80 or 90 trees was almost entirely de
stroyed. The sturdy oak could not with
stand the fury of the winds, but those of 2
or 3 feet through were twitted off and level
led with the ground-fences, Racks of hay,
&c. were altnoft entirely destroyed ; in short
it was one of the most tremendious scenes

ExtraEl of a Letter to the Editdr, dated Brat
tleboro' (Ft.) September 17th, 1802.
" Our election took place the 7th inflant,
Federalism anticipated a triumph, but has
been disappointed. My information from
various parts of the State is such as enables
me to announce, that the Legislature will
be decidedly republican. Os twelve Coun
fellors, elected by a general ticket through
the State, not more than three fe deralifts,
upon the most favourable calculation of that
party, will be chosen ; and probably not one.
As many republican towns vote for our pre
sent Governor, he has obtained a small ma
jority. The republican Lieutenant Gover
nor, Mr. Brigham, will be re-elected, and
we shall have a republican Senator to Con
gress in the place of Judge Chipman.
