BRADFORD acquaints us, that on the day he left
Sebattiara, (Aug. 2,8) he was informed, that
the negotiations had recommenced,and that there
wasthefya profpea of a favorable issue to them.
In corroboration of this,Mr. Campbell who has

J the Envoys had been mi the eve of departure ;

His Excellency the Governor and the

throughout this State.
On Friday daft two sons of Mr. Henry Elliot of

unfortunately one ot them fell into the river,

From a late Baltimore paper.
I have been refpetttully informed / that a cer

lives at Fell's Point, was recently called on to at
tend a young man, attacked by the prevailing
epidemic, when (hocking tp relate, lie adminifter
cd half a pint of vinegar, one fpoonful of fait,
and a fimdar quantity of pepper, to the Unfortu
nate man; shortly after swallowing which heter
ogeoeotis x ompofition, he expired !
Ye modern Empyrics, who artfully Hatch,
Fatal nostrums your patients to vault ;

Them, with " vinegar, pepper and fait I"

The youngelt of the Princefa of Conrland,u ho
had run away with one of her father's muficians^
with a determination to marry him, has been ap
prehended in her flight ; but the musician has es-.
fected his escape with all his papers, among which
is a promise of marriage in full form, under the
hand ofthe priucefs, and several letters which add
to its validity. Fifty thousand crowns have been
offered to him for the delivery of these papers ;
but he persists in retaining them, and is resolved
to infill on the completion of the marriage, when
the young princess shall become of age.

Imperious reasons why Thomas fefferfenfoould
not be elefied PreJident of the U. 3.
1. He was the author of the Declaration of In
dependence.
2. He was the author of the lairs which abol
ished tythes in Virginia.''
• 3. By him also was an established privileged
church, to the exclusion of other modes of wor
ship abolifhal in Virginia.
4. Thro' this conduct of his, so much at vari
ance with the English fyllem—a quaker can go 3
times into Virginia without being hanged.
5. By his odious-pursuit ot religious toleration,
the Roman Catholics have been fuffered to build
churches in that date.
- 6. But the inoft important reason of all appears
in the Boftori-Centinel, That if Mr. Jefferfon had
been Secretary of Bate, the British treaty never
would have been ratified. [Aurora,

The Bankers of Paris have lately introduced a

It is done from glass plates, according to a method .

Every one who has read the Romifh Hiftory,
mutt recollect the monstrous Brides made by the ,
Cxfars to. banish -liberty, and to exterminate free
men, by means of corrupt judges, spies, and fub
orhed witnesses ; no man can read of similar enof-„
unities committed of late in Ireland, without emo
tions of horror !—lndeed it is a lamentable re
mark made by the historian of every age, that
these have been the fatal symptoms of the ap
proaching death, of liberty in every free Bate,
from the beginning to the present day.

The surest way for Englishmen to judge of the
the atrocity of African slavery, would be, to
change country and condition with the negroes;.
then a Lord would inform Us from his own expe-:
rience, what a pieafant thing it is to toil under a
vertical fun, for a black matter, and a dutchefs, no
doubt, from her own feelings, would fey that the
life of Woulky is an enviable one!
-♦-eg,.,.
To the dlfgrace of our owp country, the slave
trade had been too long tolerated ; but the wi(-'
dom of the national legiflaturehas riow effectually
Bopped it, by the Brong arm ofa law approved
of by all parties, except a very few individuals,
it is to be hoped the emancipation of the blacks
will follow, and the foil of freedom no longer be
