A Remarkable Eel was caught, the ift
of May, on the fouth fide of the Vine
yard, by Jonathan Fisher, that measured
49 inches and a half in length, and nine
inches round, and weighed 9 pounds.

naval strength of Great Britain, and to
impose laws upon the power this nation
exercises upon the ocean. Conceffioos
will certainly be made, if any adminis
tration of Russia ceases from opposition.
It is not Fiance which can draw Russia
into such a contest, nor the peace of
France which can withdraw this Empire
from its jealousies and its claims. Wie
advantages which nations may derive,
may be equivocal, but there is a necessi
ty which imposes the jealousy, and the
contest. In this regard, Rufe as well
as France may be pronounced a natural
enemy. Whether Russia regard .the,
Baltic or the Mediterranean, or the com
merce of the South Seas, equally the
hopes depend upon the decision of all
the questions of naval power. We may
expert to hear by the next accounts, the
progress of Prussia in seizing upon Han
over. So unquestionable is the superi
ority of the French arms, that no appre
hensions are entertained upon the con
tinent. Nothing on earth but negotia
tion can now afreft the combined pow
ers in any movements they have approve
ed. The nature of the late treaty with
the Empire obliges provifion^for the
Princes who now fuffer from the articles
of cession to France. On the 12th of
October last, the treaty between the En
glish East India Company, and the ac,
knowledged powers of the late dominions
of Tippoo was concluded. It promises
great advantages to the English in India.
In the UNITED STATES, every
arrangement is to be made which politi
caLeconomy can juftify. The last mea
fu resof the late administration are to be
pursued. The military power will be a
school of the art military, rather than a
standing army in the time of peace. The
militia will discipline the citizens, and
form them forthe national defence. The
navy will not oppress our infant strength,
and we trust, a wife policy will secure
our domestic tranquility. In this State,
we preserve the independence and lib
erty of our ancestors. The utmost vig
ilance, is employed without violence,
and the jealousy of parties is the fafety
of the State. Our late Governor is re
eleded. The Legislative body is as full
as at any former period. The President
of the Senate has been appointed Lieut.
Governor, and vacancies have been fil
led up without litigation. The strength
of each party is a question, which men of
each party answer differently. The o^
pinions are not so well known as thejea
loufies which are entertained. Friends
of peace are to be found in beh parties.
The questions of our own gov&nment do
not chara&erife either party. Foreign
influence is the fear of many, and the
pretext of disquiet. It will hardly es
cape the public vigilance, so that proba
bly we shall be at peace, and maintain a
national independence, while the public
character will always be indulgent to the
hopes of liberty, and to the simplicity of
a Republican government;
The following was the verdi& of the
jury, on the death of Eliza Fales, men
tioned last week— 66 That we, the jurors,
being under oath, do fay, that Elizabeth
Fales, here lying dead, came to her death
b, means of fundr, stabs on her bod,, cut
with a small jack knife: And also, we do
further fa,, that JaJon Fairbanks was,
probably, acceffar, to the said murder." —
He has since been able to be removed
to jail, where he is to wait his solemn trial
at the S. J. Court in August next!

Tro,. (N. Y.) Ma, 20, On the evening
of the 14th inst. between the hours of
nine ana ten o'clock, some wickedly
disposed person, intending murder, dis
charged a shot at Do6lor Edward Da
vis, of Still water, through his window,
as he was preparing medicine for his
patients : the contents of which he
• received in the abdomen, but fortunate
ly in an oblique direction. The day
following, ten shot, and three large slugs,
weighing about an ounce, were extract
ed by Dr. Loudon, of Troy, leaving
fix large wounds : Butas tliey did not
completely perforate into the cavity of
the bowels, it is expected he will recov

Accidents l. Lightning.
We hear from N. York and federal other
places, that the weather has been uncommonly
boisterous, & that lightning in many instances has
proved fatal. On the zflh ult. the barracks on
Gibbet Island, near Newyork, were blown down.
At Ellis's Island, a house was blown down, in
which were three persons, one of whom was
killed on the foot and another very badly wound
ed. At Newyork, during a violent thunder gust
on the a6rh, one of the Brooklyne ferry boats was
upset, in which were 14 paffergers, 7 of whom
were drowned. At Worcester on the 27th, the
inhabitants experienced a very severe thunder
I storm ; during which, the lightning struck the
I house and office of a Mr. Bangs, burst off the
