There « r e many in the United States,

ed by the various leaders in that revolution.
Indeed the fete of those leaders fully juftifie*
the imputations against them, and “ out of
their own have been drawn proofs
of their baseness and' treachery. But the
evil has not found a cure—For though the

DIFINE INTERPOSITION.
A remarkable instance of the interfer

the late fire at RaicHff Cross. A poor
woman had left her child in the cradle,
locked the door, and gone feme dill a nee

upon the alarm, file found het boufe on

night in a ft ate of diftra&ion. Jh the morn,
