A large number of the most refpe&able

Dinner at Concert Hall, in honor of Christo

English dates to March 15, have been receiv
ed via New York. We learn by ft that the
X King was recovering his health. * A British
Expedition had fajled for Boulogne, and a ve
ry heavy fire was heard after their arrival.—
Earl Moira is to condud an expedition against
H illand. The French fleet which escaped from
Toulon, while Nelson was off Algiers has arriv
ed at Cathargena. It is said to consist of 14 fail
of the line. Pichegrieu is arrested, and Moreau:
is confined in the temple. The Camp-Equip
age of Buonaparte, has for the sixth time since
the present war taken the road to the coast;
That of General Junot and all the other Gener
als of the Army of England are sent to the fame
destination, and even two aids de Camp of Ber
thier, with this equipage have left Paris, which
has not been the case since hostilities began.
Berthier is appointed by the First Consul, Captain
General over Ireland. Out of the narrow bar
hour of Boulogne, Buonaparte's Flotilla can on
ly issue in the ratio of one vessel per minute, ,so
that to get 500 vessels out of that harbour will
take 8 hours and 40 minutes : But as Boulogne
is a dry harbour, and vessels cannot float in it
more than 4 hours in each tide, it follows that
two tides or 16 hours, at lealt, will be requisite
to bring out 480 vessels- How the British squad
ron is to be employed in the mean time, the
French will probably feel better than we de
scribe. A plan has been originated by Mr. R.
Phillips, for blockading the enemy's ports by
finking old (hips of various sizes filled with ch;•';
or stones, at the mouths of their harbours—
he confijers it in the power of Great Britain, to
render every harbor of Holland, France, and
Flanders unhavigable#

The Election in New-Yoik came on laQ Tuef
day, no returns could reach us for to day's Or
acle, but if the papers are faithfully forwarded,
we (ball fee the event of the struggle in the me
tropolis and its neighbourhood in to-night's Cen
tinel, —This election is intereftfng ta,all parties,
and is said to have engrossed more time, exercised
more talents, and expended more wealth, than
any htate election heretofore. It is to be hoped
the attempt to leflen the immense influence
of the Clinton & Livingflon families will prevail,
and some profpea given of a decent regard be
ing paid to the rights and privileges of the mi
nority. The immense personal influence of these
two " Families,” is aided by the gift of office, and
f^aries, which principals, brothers and cousins re
ceive from tie Government. We have seen a
particularftatement of these salaries, which exceed
the enormous fam of Ninety foe »oufand Dollars
p er aim. We fee but littl§ equality in this.
— New England :—
in Connecticut and Massachusetts the pure prin
ciples of Federal Reptiblicanifn has again tri
umphed—all branches of their governments are
Federal ; the attempts in the Connecticut Mer

Although we have not received the returns from
all the to^s in o'ur own State,yet from a careful
view of the whole ground, we are decidedly of
opinion that alCT:anches of the Government^

Tn England, Mr T Pollard—His death was occasioned
by too freely rearing his chair whilst in conversation,
whence it was carried beyond its equilibrium, and in his
fall he pitched on bis elbow, which brought on a mortifica
0. that ended in his death, within three days after the
accident.
At Exeter [Eng.] Miss Susan Sparhawk, third daugh
ter of Nathaniel Sparhawk, Esq. and niece to Sir William
Pepperel, Bart, of London, formerly resident in America.
pThis amiable young lady, about three years since, took
leave or her numerous friends in this country, to fulfil the
claims of paternal love. Those only who were most in
timately acquainted with her merits, can justly appreciate
them, and bellow the proper estimate on intrinsic excel
lence like hers, unoftentatious of the lead display. That
modesty which is so often the concomitant of genius, deli
icacy of Kntiments, and elevation of foul, led her rather
,to conceal herfelf from observation: and while file was
pofTeffed of a strong understanding, a cultivated mind, and
talents which, under more auspicious circumstances of for
tune and patronage, might have ranked her in the firft or
der of literary females—the was content to be diftiuguifhed
and known more particularly by those engaging qualities
which interest the affections, and which indeed attach an
irresistible charm to the female character.

be assured the Drawing will pofhively commence ,
-- I hey hope the following reasons will apolo-'

The almost impassible state of the roads, for two
months past has been such as to render the com
mtinication Which the Agents employed for ven
