RHODE-TUAND ELECTION.
Last week the Election of Deputies to the
general aflembly terminated in the choice of
the old republican lift, without opposition.
The R. Island republican fays :
Stanton and Knight compofedthe Repub
lican, and Tillinghaft and Potter the Federal
ticket for members of Congress.—We have
no doubt the Republican Ticket will fue
ceed by more than a thousand majority.
The return of votes from 21 towns, gites
the Republican Ticket, a majority of 917.
Tillinghaft, with all his " Talents" and
_ federalifm, has not been re-elected.
BARBARY POWERS..
iDifpatches, we underhand, have been received
Iby government from Mr. Simpson, our Consul (0
I, Morocco, dated July 16th, at Gibraltar, which
'place, as talfely rumoured, he had not left. The
(report refpeding Capt. M'Neil's engagement with
me Tunisians does not appear to have been con a
firmed by fabfequent information, which, in case
hf such action, ought to have been received by
Mr Smpfon.
I The ? derprize, Capt. Sterret, had arrived at
/Gibraltar'on the 2d of July from the feron
knifing off Tripoli. The etters of Capt. Sterret
hre also silent as to Mail's engagement, or h is
/own, as reported ; whicu, with respect to the lat
' ter, amounts to disproof.
The warlike operations of Morocco, from the
latest authentic accounts, were not very active.
The new frigates, lately built,the one of 36, and
the other of 22 guns, were equipping Slowly at
Sake on the Atlantic—the old frigate lay at La-
Rash in the sand— two gallies were fitting out at
Tituen with considerable spirit.— Nat. Int.
' By fudge Basset T's Frotefl it appears that he
feelingly alive to violations of the Constitution
when the power and emoluments of office are
concerned. But candid men Will be apt to en
quire, why this watchful guardian of the Conth-,
cation was totally Glent when Congress pafled a
Sedition Law ; not only ID opposition o public
sentiment, but in the face of the article in the
Constitution Which expressly declares ^" C°"-
grefs Hull make no law abridging the freedom of

Lart Saturday evening between the hours
of seven and eight, a horrid murder was
committed in W eathersfield, on the body of
a black woman, the property of Capt. New
fon. She had been sent on an errand to one
of the neighbours, and was returning, when
the dreadful act was committed.—The bight
was very dark, and the blows of the ailalfm
so effectual that no alarm was given or dis
covery made till the next morning, though
the people were eonftantly palling, and seve
ral families live near the foot. —A jury of
inquest returned a verdi& " Wilful murder
by some person unknown."
No difeovery has yet been made of the
bold and attrocious villain —Tis hoped how
ever, that no pains will be Iparcd to deleft
and bring him to justice.

REMARKABLE FISH.
A firn of extraordinary size and di,en
fions, was taken a few days since in Plumb-
Island river by four young men of this town.
He is of the shark kind, and called by some
a fwing tail Shark, measuring thirteen and a
half feet in length.—We understand a gen
tleman of this town, is about procuring the
skin and fins of this natural curiosity, to pre
lent to, and have deposited in the Museum
of Dartmouth University.

ANOTHER BEADLE.
On the rgth ult. a Mr. Seaman, of Connecticut-
Farms, (N. J.) butchered his wife and two chil
dren, in a (hocking manner, by dalhing their
heads to pieces with an axe ; and to complete the
horrid catastrophe, bleu,out his own brains—bis
head being almolt entirely (hot from his body
when difeovered, and his brains scattered over
the room.

MELANCHOLY.
Singular infance of the affiiffiie dispensation of
Providence ; and of his Sparing Mercy.
On the niuht of the 25th ot August last, the fol
lowing most remarkable occurrence happened ;—
the wife of Mr. David Rowell, of Croydon,
(daughter of Mr. Elijah Brown of Weare,) was
killed by lightning, while in bed, with her hus
band's head lying on the fame pillow with hers,
and a child about eight weeks old lying upon her
arm at the breast, there were also four children
lying in a trundle-bed at their feet ; yet no one of
the family, except her, were in the least degree
injured, noteven shocked, by the lightning. Thus
ihe is precipitated, in the prime of life, in her 26th
year, front her parents, friends, and family from
an afflicted husband and five young children, to
mourn her early departure from this “ vale of
tears :|^t this remarkable instance of mortal
freak a Solemn admonition to thoughtless
mortals— -let it fervid to warn every one to
Search his own heart; ^nd to “ be also ready."
Death cometh in ah hob? which man knowetKnot
of. Let every one take an account of his time,and
learn to live as he would wish to die;

"TRUE A3 THE DIAL TO THE SUK."

Portsmouth, (n.h.) September x4°
"Through 1 mistake iri copying some bf
the votes for Representatives to Congress, in
our last, some of them were transposed.—
The votes ftoni 62 towns forretfed) Hand
thus, for the Republican ticket, 2260 —for
the Anti-Republican, 2561^
The federates make a great rumpus about Cal
lender's tale of Mr. fefferJon's giving him too dol
lars for writing the" FroftcEt, in which Mr. Ad
ams was roughly handled. They should recolleft
that admitting Callender's flatement to be true,
the retaliation was far inadequate to the embafy
with which Mr. Adams rewarded Smith for nis
indecent and abusive attack on the then Vice-Pre
sident, in a series of letters under the signature of
" Phocien." —Eastern Star.
In the Centinel of the Bth inst. we find the fol
lowing extract of a letter, said to have been
written by the late lamented Washington, cen
suring the Republicans with the greatef l asperity
of language. We much doubt its authenticity.
" Although I highly approve of the meafufe^
taken by the government, to place this country in
a posture ot defence, and even wish they had been
more energetic, and shall be ready to obey its call
under the reservation 1 have made, whenever it is
made ; yet, I am not without hope, mad and in
toxicated as the French are, that they will pause,
before they take the last step. That they have
been deceived in their calculations on the division
of the people and the powerful support they ex
pected from their party is reduced to a certainty,
though it is somewhat equivocal flill, whether
that party, who have been the Curje of this Country,
and the Jource of the expences we have to encoun
ter, may not be able to continue their delusion.
What pity it is the expence could not be taxed
upon them."
Is it possible that the MAN who once united all
hearts, could thus condemn his warmest and most
decided adherents ? We will not yet believe it;
for it was owing to his old, and not to his new
friends, that he obtained the feeble support he re
ceived in the late revolutionary war. If Mr.
Washington could have thus expressed himfelf in
a moment of anger, we shall only regret that the
arts of his real enemies, who furronded him on
too many occasions, and who would even tarnish
his fair fame to support their little views, should
have made such an impreffian on his mind.— ib.
The trial of David Forrefler, arias Williams, one
of the mutineers of the Hermoine frigate, com
menced on Tuefddy morning on board his mejef
ty's ship Gladiator, at Poitfmouth, and lasted three
hours, when it was fully proved he was the man
that murdered captain Pigot, and threw his body
overboard, and otherwise aided and affixed in the
mutiny. He was sentenced to be hanged on
board any one ship the lords commiffioneis of the
admiralty may please to direct. He made! riq de
fence.—London Paper.
[Was it not also proved that fandthan Robbins
was the identical man who murdered capt. Pi
got and threw his body overboard : and was not
his body hanged on a higher gibbet than any other
at Jamaica on that account —Aurora.
Another DUEL has lately been fought at
Savannah, between William Hunter, Esq.
and David B. Mitchell, Esq. both of that
place. The agreement was to hand at ten
paces distance, and advance two paces at
each ihot. Mitchell's firft (hot entirely
miffed ; Hunter's ftru& Mitchell in the fide
but the ball did not penetrate^ it flopped in a
fold of the shirt ; Hunter's Second struck
Mitchell full in the thigh, but again failed
to penetrate : Mitchell's ball, however, took
a fatal effed in Hunter's fide ; it is supposed
it went diredly through his heirt. He died
on the spot.
Mr. Pits, in imitation of Bonaparte,
(who imitated N^RO in this refpeft) has re
quested that his itatue may not be eroded

prevent them forgetting him,efpecially when
he is again Minister ; —then he will ered

The Federalist appear to waver in their minds
Whether they mail continue to aft under the as
sumed name of Republicans, or throw off the malk
and abide by their proper appellation. Coufeious
that the People of the United States are in favor
of Republicanism, coufeious that all the efforts of
Federalism have been insufficient to Drake their
manciples ; the Palladium is convinced, that “ if
the FedehaliQs give up the natne of Republicans,
they are loft." On the other hand to continue
the name, when the impoOtiou becomes too glar
ing for concealment seems to be a (Iretch beyond
even federal effrontery. It is time indeed that the
articles should have their appropriate names. The
people are aware of the impotition prart fed upon
them, and it will no longer succeed; ft is time
that a just diltinftion should be made between
Federalism, and Republicanism ; between the meh
who have endeavoured to establish a tyflem of op
pression, and those who have destroyed this system;
between the men who wish for a monarchic aristo
cratic government, and those who desire a gov
ernment conformable to the will of the People ex
pressed in their Conftitution.— Chron.

this effort of federalifm to Shelter itfelt from the

a glaring instance.—c'Arcm.

~, from a late London Paper.
Our Parisian correspondent writes, that the
mod flrange revolution which has taken place in
that country, if that which has taken place in the
matter of religion. In lets than 15 days, there
were not letsthan 10,000 communicants, or per
sons tailing the sacrament for the hfft time, and
amongst these the majorit, were more than thirty
years of age. The presses of Paris are now literal
ly groaning, in consequence of the revolution un
der the pressure of catechisms, and other spiritual
books! ,
Among a variety of modern, whimfieal ways of
dunning, we tlrink the following extracted from a
Vermont paper, worthy of preservation.
"ANECDOTE.
1 once resided in the town of Petetfburgh, N. H.
walking out one Sunday, morning, and puffing by
my neighbour's house, I observed a young lady
Sitting at the window combing het hair, (which
being over her eyes) I gently stepped in, fat down
in her lap—she parted her hair so as to difeover
me—observed I was too large a child for her to
tend, I told her I was a quiet one—(he qbferved
that a quiet child could always lit oh the floor.
ALL those indebted to Joseph Johnson, are
now called on to make immediate payment for
he is determined not to fit on the floor any lon

Lightning.—The Schooner Good In

Yoik, in coming down James-river was
difmafted by lightning.
A negro woman in Cliff-itreet, New-York, in
consequence of receiving a letter from her abient
husband, informing he had married another, took
a dole of poison on Tuefday morning lalt, and
died in the afternoon.
The following molt extraordinary circtimftance
ocenred early on Thursday morning, at the
Grapes Tavern, in Cable-Street, Liverpool :—A
young gentierhan (under the influence of a dream,
in which he foppofed a person was perilling him
with * pistol) left his bed in a chamber ot the mid
dle flory and actually forced the loci; of a door,
to attain the attic floor, which when he had effec
ted, he opened the upper fifth and threw bimfelf,
into the ttreet. In falling, his ikirt caught the
projeifting grapes, nd forced them down with
him. This conlidqrably broke his fa, I, infomueb
that^he Jit upon his heels ; and Itrange to tell, re
received no bodily injury whatever—not even the
flighted fear. It would bb recorded as an almolt
ineradicable wonder, that after tiling from bed,
forcing the lock of a door, and falling from a
window of three dories, the horror of the dream
had not left him, as, on being Interrogated by a
watchman—“ In the name of God, vhat is the
matter ?" he exclaimed " A villian wanti to !!ioot
