of parents, high in rank, American
Chiefs :—Ard 1 an aged counftllor,

words from an aged counsellor.
'' You have bid us welcome to this
town, where you reticle, for the pur

that it has gladdened vor hearts to

"' We thank you, ycu:g Indies—l
th^nk yon,dear children that yon
should find it in your minds to wcl-.

,ed years, and publickly address the
sachems and warriors of the Five
Nations,on their arrival here ! —This

what a pleasant fight ! Young ladies,
filers, and dear children, we shall tell
it to our children and grandchildren
when we return ; we (hall publish it
in every land ; may we never forget
what we have seen and heard this day?
Who knows, but in a future day,fome
of our children or grandchildren may
be privileged with a school in yonder
dark wilderness, that shall bear feme
resemblance to this happy place,
which feenis to have in a singular
manner the.fmifes of the Great Spirit
•* above ? True, indeed, one God has
created us all ; but we have grown up
(or been educated) in different paths;
one fun shines upon us, and we may
now fay one country, or this island is
our common birth place. Oh,may our
Great Father who is in the Heavens
above, and loves peace, diffufe a fpi

for your affedionataddrefs; we with

the path of love 'and virtue, and
when you finifh your education, and
leave this happy place, bleffcd of the
Great Spirit above, how much light
will you diftufe in various parts of the
land. This is all we have to fay —
Farewell."
The next day Good Peter was invi
ted te visit the several apartments and
'' Our meeting here, this day, in
peace and friendship, is one evidence
that the spirit cf love which poffefled
the hearts of our forefathers, ftiil ex
ills in the breasts oftheir children on

brothers and children of the Five Na
tions welcomed to any place with more
pure love, than you have expressed to
ward us fincc our arrival at this place.
Truly, it appears to us that you are a
blessed and happy people.—Wherever
we turn oar eyes in this town, there
are marks cf the Great Spirit above
finding upon you. May your prayers
to the Father of all, for bringing our
nations out cf carknefs be accomplish

" BEING well affared that whatever
relates to me, will in some measure be
interesting to you,; shall therefore, just
inform you of thy present situation.
" Fourteenth June last, after having
procured recommendatory letters to
the English Consul, refining at the
court of his Highness the Nizam, I
proceeded to his capital, Hyderabad,
450 miles from this place. On my
arrival was presented to his Highness,
in form, by the English Consul : My
reception was as favorable, as my most
sanguine wishes had anticipated.
We hear from Enfield, in the upper
part of this county, that as two men
were crossing a pond in purfait of a
Moose, one of them being thirfty,and
perceiving a hole which had been cut
through the ice by some fifhermen,he
(looped down to drink, but being pos
sessed of a long red nefe, a fifh fappo
fed he had some bait, and made bold
to snap at it, when the man suddenly
throwing his head hack, drew out a
Trout which weighed three pounds 4
ounces,-
" After the usual ceremony was o
ver, he prefenred me with the com
mand of two Ranfolars of Infantry,
(each consisting of 500 men) with the
commission of Boxy and Paynnfter of
my soldiers.
'' I am also indulged with the clo
thing ; my pay at present, only SOO
rupees per month; but my other emo
luments will make itizoo per men h,
equal to about 2001. lawful money.
" The Nizam is in alliance wi,h
the English Company, and had when
I arrived, taken the field against Tip
po Sultan, with about 150,000 infan
try, 60,000 ho fe, and 500 elephants.

Dec. las.
The following article may be de
pended on : Mr. Balhario,ttie ce
lebrated Jew, so well known for his
great knowledge of Hebrew, Arabic
and other languages, and formerly a
Notary Public, died on Friday h(l,in
the Both year 61his age ; a tew mo
ments prior to his dissolution, he rung
the bell at the head of his bed, and
defiled that all his family might im
mediately attend him ; for though he
was apparently in good health, yet be
was certain he ikould not live an hour
longer ; he then lamented that he had
not been able to make the lead provi
sion for his children ; but rold them,
that if they could procure the money
to purchase a ticket in the prefect 1-
rifli lottery, the number of which he
mentioned; and Rated, that he had
either dreamt, or it was so impreffee
inhis mind,that he w^s fatisfied it
would afford them a trifling fortune ;
his lons treated the production light
ly.—He died within the time Rated.
— Some of his friends afterwards
purchased the ticket, and presented it
to his family, which has fiace been
drawn a prize of £IOOO.
