Belta, (Pell.) Oft 6. " There have beed
rejoicings at the intelligence of the capture of
Cairo ; and news cf the fall of Alexandria is
daily expeded." The above, from Gibraltar,
^h 2 9> ''"" to confirm our late information
from England. [Confirmation good forth
" King's Printers" in America. To other people,
-the" capture of Cairo," is rather doubtful, becauje
the King's Reporters do not agree ; Mr. Tookefays,
that feme fevers adiene, in which 2000 Frenchmen
were killed, preceded the surrender of Go,. Belliard
—whereas Lord Elgin informs bis correspondent,
that the French, '' perceiving the, were likel, to be
overpowered, thought it mo, advisable not to wait
the attack ; they laid down their arms, and submit
ted tbemjelves prisoners without drawing a sword."
One of these statements, (fays the Chronicle,)
must be falfe, and it is not a little forprifing
they flruld differ in a material point.]
Col. Ben. Talmage, a Federal Republican,
is chefen a member of Coogrefs, from Con
,neaicut. [Formerly, with year high federal®,
Rtpublicanilm meant " anything or nothing." Pray
what kind of a member, then, will this " Federal-
Republican'' Mr. Talmage make ?],
Francis Stevens, of Marblehead, impressed
on board an English man of war, was released,

A most Shocking Murder and Suicide.
Catskill, (Newyork,) Sept. 21. A gentleman
from Hurley, near Kingftun, Uifter county, has
given us the following narrative of one of the
most (hocking and tragical catastrophes, which
took place yesterday fe'nnight, that ever black
ened the catalogue of human events. The wife
of Mr. fofiih Deo, of a place called the Paltz,
about two miles from Hurly, a woman of ex
emplary charaaer, as to piety, modefly and
feufibility, rose in the morning, & went about
the ordinary business of her family, getting
breakfaft, &c. with all her apparent cheerful
nefs & composure. After breakfaft the con
trived to fend out all her family, excepting 3
children which she had designed for deftruaion
viz. a bey about 9 years old, a girl about 7,
(both by a former bulb and) aninfant daughter
about 9 months old, by her prefect htlbind.
Her husband the had persuaded to go to a field
at some distance, to fee if creatures were not in
mifthie^-a daughter of Mr. Deo, by a former
wife, a young woman, the sent home with two
( children who had slept at her house the night
previous, who belonged to Mr. Deo's lifter in
the neighborhood— a lad, son ofDeo by bis firft
wife, the told to go to shatter's about a quar
ter of a mite to get a hat, and to take with him
a child, 2 or 3 years old, which with the infant
above were the only two the had by Mr. Deo.
Having thus arranged the family, the, told the
boy, one of the viaims of her delation, that be
wgbt go with some boys who were at plc, near by,
while fee combed bis filler's bead, but not go out of
call, asfa would crab bis bead alp, in a few minutes
—She then took the girl into a back room wbicb fbe
bad darkened for the purpose, b, lotting down the
window curtains, and with a razor cut her throat
from ear to ear—The key whom fa bad told tego to
the batter's in the mean time, istfead of going faced
bimfelj on the door flops, with the cbilto wait as
befa,s,fer bis brother's bead to be combed, that be
might go along with him ; be beard the little girl
cry oot direaly, " don't mamma," and the mother
rather ,truly replied " bold,our tongue"—fanefaint
froggies endued, but not enough to alarm bi, —The

affairs of Eg„t sera enveloped in Darkness.

CT Phenomcnonical.
Amongst the rare phenomena of the left-fix
-months, NewbampJhre has her ihire—A'wiw
difeovery has lately been made at Hanover—We
bear from thence, that " A correa and well in
formed writer in the Gazette of the V. States
has abundant!, proved, " that the Prefidtent of
the U. States in directing a nolle profequi on the
indi&ment against Wm. Duane, for a libel on
the Senate of the U. S. ha, sharped power, and
broken through the Con,i tution of tie Country."
This is a high charge, even for the Philadel
phia Porcupines to make agaioft the First Mag
mother then carneyo the door and called the bo, from
play, and as feon as be entered, took bin to the back
room and performed the fame operation as upon the
girl, tbo' not quite so efranaU, ; the bo, at tbe door
heard enough/ of the tranfaaiou, together with the
recolhaion of burning fan bis mother take a razor
from behind a looking glass and place it under an oil
cloth upon a tables to frighten him, and be ran from
the beufe with the child ; be bad not ran far, before
be beard a noils behind him, kA dijcovered his brother
(who in bis ,raggles budget away from bis mother)
with the blood spinningfpinning from bis threat ; be puffed
bim a little and then jelldead. Another (married)
daughter of Mr. Deo, who bad also been absent tbis
fatal morning, happened with her bdjband to arrive
at tbis moment upon tbe jpot ; the bofband took up
the bo, and perceived be was dead and covered with
blood, but did not diJcover that bis threat was cut till
after ba,ening to the boufe, where be was witness
to the mo, forking fp@aaeh—the mother, her little
daughter, and child, all with their threats cut and
weltering in their blood. Ajar, of inqueft,of which
our informant was one, was immediately Summoned ;
their verdia was, MURDER and SUICIDE,
with one instrument, a razor.
What could have been she occafon of tbis melan
choly event, is totally unaccountable, unleft it proceed,
id from a mifaken religious fanaticism ; it is how
ever evident from a number of circumfances the a&
was cool, premeditated : The daughter who was sent
aw, with the 2 children, badtx,rod a wife the
Saturday preceding, to be abjent at a neighbouring
village 2 or 3 days, observing that foe bad but little
to do at borne ; The mother replied you will have
enough to do on Monday—The daughter said jbe
did not know of a, thing particular — The mother
again replied that it was no matter,fa might depend
on having enough to do. It is supposedfa al
luded to the burying of the dead. Another circum
fiance, more,rung; occurred after the close of the me
lancholy see, —the neighbours, on examining ache,
for linen to la, out the dead; found in it articles exaa-
I, nectfar, for the purpose, parcelled out for each in
dividual, and each parcel.laid by itself. Mrs. Deo
was devoutly religious; praafog prayer every night
in her family ; yet naturally cheerful and placid;
apparently bap, and contented in herfamily ; was
highly eSeemed in her neighbourhood, and had never
discovered the lea, trait of insanity. Sbe was a
member of the congregational church, and partaker of
the Sacrament but a week or fortnight before.

iftrate cf Five Million, of People— The accuser
ought to have ftroog, very strong ground -Ifo
temerity may possibly cost him dear—He has
pledged bimjelf (tho' be ought to have pledged
femething valuable in such a case) to impeach
the President at the next Coogrefs : it will then
rest on this " Juris Conjnltus" to bring forward
his proofs egainft the President to that body—
And perhaps it might have carried as goidan
appearance for their " Sea," if the madefy (not
to fay want of wisdom) of our Newhampihire
federal " jags" Editors had permitted them to
wait the decision of Coogrefs, on so interesting
a fubjeft as the President's " breaking thru' the
Confutation," before they proceeded to pels an
esc parte judgment upon him— But we trust the
PEOPLE of NEWHAMPSHIRE are not yet
so far gone in the Federal Mania, they are not
yet so loft in the thick fogs, though the Tory
papers fain would decide for them, and blindly
lead them into '' darkness vi,ble"=- There is
yet too much wisdom and moderation among
the People themfelyes, they possess too high a
sense of National Dignity and their own honor,
to withdraw their Confidence from the Chief
Executive of the Country, beciufe a few hireling
quill-drivers and venal newspapers declare him
tQ be a " nfurper," and to have " broken through
the Confutation" —The People possess too much
Justice, to pass judgment from such accu
sations, until they shall be made evident, and
" abundantly proved" to the fatisfaaion of the
Congress, the only Authority which, by the
Constitution, can decide on this momentous
question. We will only caution the People
not to make up their opinion, upon the bare
for, of the disappointed enemies of the President
and of Republicanism—let them suspend their
judgment till they hear BOTH SIDES of the
Quefyon. It is an old maxim, that one,or, is
good till tb^ other is told.—but it is a better Rule,
(and especially in a case like this) that one,of,
is good for nothing till the other is told.
