A gentleman from New-York,informs, that in
th? dividend of the prize-money among the officers
and crew of the Embufcade, the principle of equali

alike. Os oiie prize taken. Capt. Bombard’s (hare,
we learn, was only twelve and an half dollars.

preme Executive Council of France ?
The principles of the French Revolution are the
noblest that can give cohfolatation or hope to the
heart of man. Emanating from Liberty,-the birth
right of all the defendants of Adam, they mnft
monopolize the affedions of every part of mankind.
But Americans know, by experience, that, like all
sublunary things, they are liable to abuse; and their
prayers and wilhes are—that in the Gallic Repub
lic, the Goddess of Liberty may be wedded to the
Genius of Good Government, and that Order, Equal
Erivited^, Harmony, and National and Individual.
Felicity may Be the offspring of the alliance—and
that not only there, but that their residence may be
bounded .oply by the boundaries of the globe. Let
the high-flying advocates of ievelifm, pretend to a

Ata meeting of the Officers of th^ zd Regi'

drank the following ver? extraordfoiry toaft.viz.
A dagger to the bo/om of that man, who makes
patriotiim a cover to hjs ambition and feels his
country’s happin^fs absorbed in his own,”—
Upon this a Correspondent observes, that, al
th o’ he (hould Bink rio ; legal punilhment too
severe for a conduct io base, yet he cannot help
cxorelßhg his furp-ize that fuCh. a sanguinary
toast should be given and. drank in a'n Ameri
can Company. The ftilettoof ain affiaflin may
be very convenient for the prefect ? race of
French patriots, who, he confefFes,. appear to
have peculiar need of forcible arguments to es»
tablifh their system of democratic delpptifm ;
but he thinks its introduction into a country like
America, where laws not men bear sway,&
rather premature ; and advises thole, wlio with
to emplov it, to cross the Atlant’C for an oppor
tunity. For the honor of America and of the
Governor of Pennsylvania, who was one of the
company, our Correspondent is willing to be
lieve that the toaft’ was given but by a fo
reigner of diftination prefent.and drank
]y drank 1 at all) in compliment to ms official
dignity. If however, he is mil^ken in his
charitable belief, and the horrid crime of as«
fall!nation has received the fandmn of the Go*
vernor of Pennsylvania, he hopes the fatal daga
ger whenever imported will be pointed only
a<ainl the characters described. In that case
the United States'will piobably. be freed from

lately arrived at Frenchman’s bay and now
in this town, giyes the following exirao d nary
account of a iea terpent, the authenticity of
which may be depended on:
“Ob the 20th of-June daft, being on my.
pafTage from W. Indies, in the morning, hav
ing just made Mount-Desert island, distant
nearly ten leagues, I Lddeoly got fight of a
u'erptnt of an enormous size, iwimming on
the-furface of the ocean, its head elevated 6
or 8 feet out of water, rather prone forward.
That part-of the body which was out of wa
ter,! judged t 6 be about the size of a barrel in
circumference, but the. head larger, having
Tome T fefemblance of a horse’s. According to.
the most accurate coidpn ^ion which I made
in nsy mind, of his length, I think it could
not be left than from 55 to 60 feet, and per
haps longer-- That 1 part of the body which
was not elevated, but of which I had a diK
tint! view several times, was larger than the
part out of water- The body cl a dark brown.
I was within two hundred yards of it near an
hour ; during which time, as it differ ered no
inclination, so molest us, myfelf find the whole
crew observed it with the minutest attention ;
nor was its attention less fixed on us. The
eye was pcrfedly black, fbarp, and piercing.
I was so near it as to observe clearly that
there were no fins or external app?ndages‘iq
the body ; but 'that its motion was by the
writhing of the body, like other serpents. —-
During the time it was with ds several flocks
of birds flew near, which it eyed very nat;
rowly. 1 observed in it the greaieft^ agihty
and quickness of motion.”. - . . ,
