BOSTON, AUG. 17.
From a London Paper of June 5.
A few days since, the following accident
happened at Saltford : A girl about four
years old was sent by her mother into the
village to purchase some triflng article ; but
ihe had proceeded only a thort distance from
the house, when she appeared enveloped in
a flame of fire—the dilireffed mother and
the neighbors flew to her assistance; but the
was so terribly burnt, as to occasion her
death the next day. She had been fitting
near the fire, and it is supposed took up a
lighted coal in the fold of her pin-a-fore or
frock, which the air kindled into a flame.
SALEM, AUG. Ifo
Capt. Leach, of Beverly, came passenger
from Gibraltar in the ship Sterling, arrived
at Newport, and gives the fame account re
fpeaing the hostility of Morocco to the U
nited States, as is under the Providence
head ; and adds, that the Swedish Consul
was ordered away at the fame time with
the American. He further informs, that
the Tripolitans had taken a Swedish and an
American veflel, the latter supposed to be
of Philadelphia ; the Swedish tliey dismant
led, taking out the crew, and turned adrift,
but carried in the American. He mentions
the capture of the Portugufe frigate by the
Algerine frigate Crescent ; that after one
broad fide she made no defence; that the
Captain was unable to keep either officers
or men to their quarters; and that the
slaughter which took place was chiefly after
the Algerines boarded.
The hostility of the Moors puts the com
merce of the United States in the Mediter
ranean to great hazard. The situation of
Morocco, on the Gut of Gibraltar, enables
them to annoy our vessels with the gun,
boats, in the fame manner as the Spaniards
have lately done. There is reason to fear
that some vessels from this port may be at
Mogadore, and thus fall into the .hands of
the Moors. It is to be hoped that our gov
ernment will take some speedy heps to re
eftablilh peace, and save our fellow citi
zens.

The expedition lent from Genoa against
the famous robber, known by the name of
the Devil, has completely failed ; and
that depredator, with his banditti, contin
ues his depredations in the environs of that
city to such an extent as almost to prevent
intercourse with it by land. According to
letters from Genoa, ot the 22d ult. he has
moved his head-quarters from Capenardo
to the Appenine Mountains. He lately
made proposals io the Gepoefe government,
as an independent power, demanding for
each of his companions 3000 Louis, and tor

sums, and a complete amnesty, they would
henceforth lead an honed life.

HEALTH OFFICE; portsmo. AUG. 24.
We congratulate our fellow citizens on the re
turn of health.
WE are happy to date that no new case of fever
has happened within the lalt twelve days. The
town is now remarkably healthful , there is not
even a doubtful or suspicious case.
The few cases of malignant fever which have
occured, were evidently sporadic, or accidental,
not depending upon the contamination of the
town. There has been no appearance of conta
gion.
To the blessings of divine Providence, in be
llowing upon us plentiful showers in due season,
we owe the remarkable healthfulnefs of the town

By inserting the following you will much
oblige a Cuflomer.
IT is with pleafute, I underhand thata
Mechanic Association is about forming in
this town. Indeed I may go farther and
fay that there is no doubt of its utility. It
is my sincere with tl>af this may not be like
most all other Societies of magnitude that
has heretofore been formed here ; but that
ri may be as lasting as the fun in the firma
ment. Arid to effect this there is. nothing
wanting but the energy and liability of its
Members; I presume there is no one that
knows the nature of this Institution, but that
will recommend it to the rising generation;
Arouse then my younger brethren and rally
round the standard of each one's property,
and show yourselves like men, more especial
ly those that have their doubts, come forward
and flbake off thofe' doubts, as you carinot
but acknowledge the benefits arising from
this Institution in times of difficulty.and
diftrefi ; and let the world know that
you do not value the sum funded. ,and Lt it
no longer be said that no societies of any
magnitude has ever prospered here. My
brethren be up and doing as we: are but.

important intelligence.
On the 24th June arrived at Gibraltar,
from Tangiers, Mr. Simpson, Consul of
the United States, having beeri ordered to
depart from thence at only one hour's no
tice. This order was in consequence of
not complying with a demand of the Em
peror of Morocco ; to grant convoy for sev
eral of his vessels, laden with wheat, bound
to Tripoli, and the release and convoy of
the Tripolitan ship, then at Gibraltar, to
pass unmglefted with h?r crew. The dan
ger by the Consul and Commodore Morris
was con fidered so great in palling the Straits
by the gun bpats, that the latter, with the
frigate Chesapeake, came out with only
three ships ; there being an order from the
Emperor to fit his.armed craft immediately
against the Americans.

Extract of a letter from an officer on board the
' Chefapeak frigate, to a gentleman in Frederick/-
burg, Fir. dated “ Before Gibraltar, June 21.
“ Our frigate is entirely refitted, and will pro
ceed on its cruise in a lew hours; it is hourly ex
pected here that the Emperor of Morocco, and
the Tunisians will declare war against the United
,cates. A brig from Marseilles, which arrived
here last dight; brings news, that feveh Tunisian
cruisers, engaged the American Irigate Button, a
few days hnte, and that the Bolton 101 l in the
action, a number of men, and several officers, and
that file difmafted two of the enemy, and Ihatter
ed the rest very much ; this is generally believed.
It is also reported that the Moors are fitting out
two frigates at Tahgief, of thirty-fix guns, with
great expedition—we fell be off the port, where
these frigates lie, foretime to-morrow; and
Ihould they venture out, I hope to give you a
better account of them. The Algerines have
taken several British merchantmen ; a ship of the
line and one frigate,left this place in confequeuce,
for Algiers, a few days ago. Weare called to
get under way, so is the veflfel that will carry this.
