tidied fr-Since that another proclamation has been
issued, by which the property of Emigrants is re
stored to them. The property taken possession of
by government is to be given up to the former
owners. In one of the articles it is declared, “The
French Government knows no emigrants." Gen.
Lacrosse has been reinltated a Captain General of
Gnadaloupe."
By the reports of the Board of Health in Phila

Salem, Sept . 16.
In the thunder storm of Tuefday evening, we
hear that a Barn was burnt by the lightning in
Burlington, and another in Salifb I ry. In this
town, it struck Mr. Gray's Ropewalk, but did lit
tle damage. Mr.Plinchard, in the retyibonrhood,
was knocked down by the shock. In Marblehead,
a fifhhoufe was flruck, and much injured. Near-
Amefbury, four oxen, and their driver, were kil
led. —
Newport, Sept, it.
It ought to be remembered, that Joseph Stan
ton, re-elected by a vall majority to the next
Congress, is a “ tried patriot," and " experienced
fiatehnan.” He served in the revolutionary army,
tie was plac'd in the Chair of tne Ifoufe of
'reprefentaeives when a member irom^'^rfeftown.
Soon alter the adoption of the Conftittition, he re
presented the sovereignty of this State in the Sen
ate of the United States—a veteran in his Coun
try's fbrvice. >His colleague, Nehemiah Knight,
elected bv the fame majority, tor many ye.rs ex
rented the duties ot Hgh Sheriff of the county ot
Providence, with universal approbation. He is
beloved and refpeaed by his fellow citizens. His
character is without Ipot or blemish. Theft Gen
tlemen art Farmers.
WALPOLE, Sept. %,
The Third New-Hampshire Turnpike is
now so far completed that two gates are al
jearfy creded for the colleaion of toll, one
in Jaffery, and another in Keene. "I he su
perior advantages which this road offers
when com,arred in the old one, will cnduce
travellers, as well for economy, as plcafare
tonftantly to give it the preference.
Deftrudion by Lightning !
Frederick-town, N. J. Sept. 4.
During the gust on Saturday evening last,
the barn of Mr. Joseph Smith of this county,
was {truck with lightning, and entirely con
sumed, together with several flacks of grain,
hay, &c. It is supposed Mr. Smith has loft
upwards of a thousand bulhels of grain.
The strength of parties in Rhode Island may be
shewn in a few words. Our Governor and Lieut.
Governor are republicans. Eight of our State Se
nators are republicans. More than two thirds of
our State Representatives are republicans. The
former, chosen lad fyrmg, the latter jail month.
Both the republican candidates for the next Con
gress in by two thirds of the votes of the freemen.
,—The feds have two State Senators and nearly
one third of the House nt Representatives.
It is not true that the tederalifts “ pay at leaf!
three quarters of the taxes." Nor is it true that
the Republican "majorities are diminished by
more than one half." The Republicans, on the
contrary, pay three fourths of the taxes ; and,the
number of Republicans is encreafing daily. The
federal majority in Providence is in fall reduced
" more than one half. Democracy holds her owh,
at lead, in New-Port. Bristol, where lately, the
feds carried all before them, is republicanifed.
Barrington, which last year gave every vote a
gainst us, is now nicely balanced. That " there
has been a falling off," on the Democratic fide of
the house, is absolutely falfe. In short, aristocra
cy is no more in Rhode-Ifland.,
Newburyport, Sept, if
'On Tuesday night last, we experienced a
food tremendous and horrid thunder storm ;
the clouds were surcharged with eledric
fluid, there having preceded 2of 3 sultry
d a y s —We have heard of but twd accidents
and those of the most distressing nature. A
Mr. Moses Pike of Salisbury, had his barn
struck and entirely consumed, together with
all his hay, flax, unthrefhed grain, and most
of his farming utensils ; loss nearly 500 dol
lars—but fortunately no lives were loft
here.—Mr. Pike was slightly injured in
flriving to save his property. —The slash
struck a corner post, fevered it from the
building and carried it to the distance of se
veral rods.
As a Mr. Isaac Merrill, at Amefbury
was driving home a team of four oxen, he
was struck and inflantly killed, together
with all four of the cattle—he was found
soon aftei, but whether any attempt was
made at refufeitation, we have not heard ;
his skin was not any where broken. —
He was a young man about 18 years old.
A fubfeription was opened here yesterday
to indemnify, in some degree, the loss sus
tained by Mr. Pike, and weare glad to hear
met with liberality.
Every mail from the southward brings
numerous accounts of damage done by light
ning, both in lives and property.
Reading, (Penn.) Sept. 4.
We learn that on Sunday evening last, the
barn of Mr. Oyster, ih Rufeombannor
township, county of Berks, filled with one
years industry, was struck by lightning, and
immediately enveloped in flames^
Capt. Hoyt, arrived at quarantine, 20 days
from Cope Francois, informs, that a few
days previous to his failing, news was re
ceived in town from the mountains, that
Gen. Christophe was defeated in a battle,
but the number of killed was not mentioned
—the negroes were daily brought in and
(hot—sickness prevailed in a high degree,
and many Americans had died._
In 1798 the federaliJls endeavoured by everey
mean to render the term REPUBLICAN un
popular arid odious in the United States —they
declared thatat meant “ any thing or nothing."
They now call themselves federal republicans —
are we to underhand that they with to be ftyieu
federal any thing or nothing ?
Mr. ADAMS' & Mr. JEFFERSON's
Religion Compared.
Mr. Jefferfon, has been called art Infidel,
and Mr. Adams a Christian. The follow
ing anecdote will illustrate the infidelity of
the former, and the Christianity of the lat
ter. ~, .
At a time when Mr. Adams was Presi
dent, and Mr. Jefferfon Vice-president, the
Rev. Mr. Cathcart of Pennsylvania, who
was employed by the Society for propagat
ing the gofptel among the Indians, to collect
money tor that benevolent institution, wait
ed on Mr. Adam's at the City of Washing
ton, and solicited his Tupport of the under
taking. Mr. Adams not only refuted to
give him a cent; but treated him in a rude
and churlilh manner quite unbecoming the
firft magistrate of 1 free people to a messen
ger of the gospel. , ..%
Mr. Cathcart next waited Upon Mr. Jef
ferfon, and explained to him the object of
his mission, in behalf of a Society which had
benevolently undertaken to christianize and
civilize the savage nations on our borders.
Mr. Jefferfon liltened to them with Atten
tk applauded the design, and gave fifty
dollars to Mr. Cathcart, to aid the inflitu-
Gon.
Which of these two meh, think you aft
ed most like a chriftian ?

Extraft of a letter from a gentleman in Logan coun

dated July, 1802.
" A half skull bone, very remarkable for
size has been found, in finking Capt. Berry's
salt wells deeper, since you left this place.
It weighs 246 pounds, the eye hole is so
large, that a common sized man can creep
through it ; the bone found and entire qpund
the eye hole, not decayed as it is in other
parts ; the nostril is very large, and the
cavity for the brains not larger than a pint
bowl, so that the monitions head could never
have contained more than one quart of brains.
Some of the double teeth being found, weigh
ed fix pounds each.
William Trefcott, of Vermont, has writen a

Kingston, (Jamaica) Aug. 10.
Considerable damage happened to the
(hipping in this port, which took place in
the afternoon of yeftefday'. A great many
vessels were drove from their anchors, and
by running foul of each other, occasioned
the loss of their mails yards; &c. Several
of the wharves were also materially injured
from vessels coming against them. Such
unexpected squalls ought to serve as a cau
tion to all captains of vessels; to be ftri&ly
on their guard at this season of the year,
against any changes of weather which is fd
liable to take place, and to teach them to
put out of danger, as far as in their power,
the property committed to their care.
We utiderftand an American being oh

was to fail this Corning, overfet yeftrday in

Accuflomed, as we have been (fays the Nationa In

our aflonifhment at the enormity of 1 lie late fabrica
tion, said to be a fpeecliofßLD JACKET. To
thtife who know thte quarter|trom which it pro
ceeds, it will appear in no other light but as the
impotent effuhou of party, perhaps personal ranc
our.; Btit it will be remarked that it is sent forth
intolhe woHd as a real bona-fide speech of Red
Jacket, the organ of the principal chiefs of the
Seneca Onondaga and Cayuga Indians. It was
intended, on dbirbt, to seize the unfulpicious mo
ments of the reader, and make him the victim of
its falfehoods; But, like all other untruths, it will
recoil upon its fabricators, by fufhifhing anlonu
