was suddenly seized by the voracious an

Shocking a planner, that his death would
be a confblation to his relatives. The
firength of the animal was so great, that
five per fens could hardly disengage its
teeth and claws from the unhappy vic

of the lives of people, that if persons will
endeavour to obtain money, by the shew
of wild beads, that they be properly con

•* The profpe^ls of myfelf and coun-.
trymcn seem to be mere pleating than
when I wrote you Jaft, The Queen of
has this day promised our Con
sul a convoy for the American vessels
which are in this port. There are now
fifteen ; and I am in hopes we shall ah
be ready for sea, in ten or twelve days.
Those who are ready will do every thing
in their power to afllft those who are not.
< ! A bort has just arrived here with a
crew of a Genofe ship. This V'ffei was
brought too by an Algerine cruiser under
Spanifb colour’. The ^.rzrethen hodl
ed his own colours, and ordered the Ge
noefe to hoist oir his boat and come on
board him. The boat was-accordingly
hetfled out; butinftead of going on board
the Algerine they rowed in a very differ
ent direction, and have since arrived,
with the lols of one man ; and the band
of another (hot off.
complete, that the Indians who ffcapcd,
did it by dint of the tomahawk, in a
defparate sally on our troops, after ha
ving thrown away their mulkets.
We lesir, that on the 12th of Decem
ber, a Britilh squadron of eight fail of
the line, and frigates and transports to
tfie number of 50 fail, arrived at Rarba
does—That Gen. Rochambeau has
but a (mail regular force of whites artil
cry, but had (even thonfand armed mulat
tces and negroes,in whom he had inflill
ed the idea, that fbould the Britilh con
quer Martlnico, they would be fold to
slavery- It is therefore expt fled; that
they will fight with great bravery.
We are informed, that the Spaniards
raptured that place on the 30th Nov.
We also learn, thet the town of Aux-
Caves was nearly destroyed by fire;
eccafioned by a difpote between the
whites and mulattoes : The lat er pro
pefed to theJ'rn.er.to cifarm the free
negroes ; but the whites fufpefling the
sincerity of the mnlattoes in the business,
sefufed, on which the mulattoes, after
felting ar liberty the prif ners at St. Lou
ie, marched against the whites, but were
ambufeaded, and in a great measure cur
off. On the divulgement of the affair,
the free negroes set fire to the town of
Cayes.
Leognn and several other towns, have
surrendered to the Bnglifh.
“The Portuguese nation appear to be
diff^l/fied with the truce which the En
glifb have negotiated for them ; 'nd 1 am
informed that the Queen will uot abide
by it. This 1 think appears plain from
her granting convoys to all the powers
who are at war wi h the Algerines?

"As io politics I have only to
tell you in brief, that the arms
of the combined ty rants kem to
carry every thing before Them
against the afferrers of liberty in
France—-and. indeed, from the
treachery ^Gccnfufwn w ; hi,ch pre
vail in the convention; and you
may lay every part of . that de
voted country-little die can be
expected. I hope America will
be wife enough to avoid a war,
w hfch In its confequenccs would
certainly destroy all its profpeds
of happiness ; and yet it is sug
gested that the Minister lately
lent out to you from France,
went with the intention of bring
ing you into it; at kaft that was
one part of his errand, f trust
however he will fail in his views,
if any such he entertained ; for
I have a more exalted opinion
of the wisdom of the Americans,
than co suppose they will fuffer
themselves to be facinated into
measures so dcjlruflive of their
true interest. Cel. Humphreys
is at Gibraltar on his way to Al
giers ; gone with the expeftation
of accommodating matters in
behalf of America with those pi
rates ; God grant he may suc
ceed. ’Tis said the application
for a convoy was rather in too
lofty a tone for this court. —
Mr. Humphreys is a man
of superior talents, and more
pleasing manners, as such
he will always fucced in obtain
ing favors, which the minister
here will spurn at, when solici
ted in an imperious manner.”
Both France and England arc poffefl*
ed of materials enough to impress their
governments with a doubt of our inten
tions and views. The former have the
difpatchcs refp&ing citizen Genet’s re
cal, and that minister’s explanation of his
condiifl- The latter .have our positive
demands for the surrender of the Weftern
-posts, and a fadsfaflory explanation of
their solemn infolts to.our neutral right.
It is so be hoped we shall not be invol
ved with both; but until we have de ei
mined whether we will Support the neu
trality we have declared, or abandon
our friend ,in the hour of danger, they
may each, by an embargo on our veff 1 ,
wish to secure themselves in the event
of a reptute. -

Members of Eafl
ern DiJiri ft Newhampfliire Me
dicrJ Society, are hereby inform-/
ed that a meeting of said Dis
tri ft Society will be held at the
house of Stephen famfon, innhold
er in Exeter, on the firft Wedoet
day of February next at ten
of lock A. M. By order of the
President,
ferred to him at the June Seflicn, was
read in the House of Representatives, at
the close of phis day, and committed.
The report was lengthy, and we are net
able to fbrnifh such ah a b lirafl of it, as
we could wish. It appears that the Debt
of the Commonwealth, unprovided for
with the arrears of interest, to the 111 of
July next, will amount to £ 689 760.
1.6. The report contemplates a Joan to
be opened at 5 percent interest, to be
paid half yearly. The annual interest
on the balances due from the United
States, the annual dividend from the
fubfeription to the Union Rank, and the
annual inteiefl on money loaned to the
United States, will amount to £ 22,251
8.3. leaving only £ 122,36. 11.9.
to be railed by an exerfe or a tax on
polls and eflates to pay the iniereft on
the proposed loan ; the money due for
the eaflern and weftern lands which have
been fold, and the interest of the debt,
which may be from time to time redee
med, it isjpropofed toveft in the hands
of commissioners for the purchase of the
debt. Supposing the debt to be pur
chafed at 18/. on the po ind, so much
will be redeemed by the year ißor,that
the interest annually due from the Uni
ted States, and the Commonwealth’s
dividend in the flock of the Union
Bark will then without the aid of a
ux, pay the interest cn therefidue of the
debt and leave a surplus of 3369 ;
2.10 annually. We congatulate the
public upon this pleasing exhibition of
opr finances, *hich ap^ars to be veil
ounded ; and when it is totfidered,
that a ax of two shillings on the poll
will at this time nhc the deficit of£.i2:
236; 11 : 9 : slated above, and also raiie
a sum ft fficient to defray the annual ex
penses of Government, the creditors of
the Commonwealth, we trust, may now
promise themselves. that jell ce will be
rendered to ther claims.
