was digging a well, had
funkit about 40 feet, the
rope parted, and the tub
fell upon his head, which

MIDDLETOWN, 0a 11.
On the 26th Sept, an
unhappy dispute arose be
tween oneChriftopherSmith
and one Abner Bucknam,
both of Lunenburgh, (Ver
mont) which ended in the
almost instant death of laid
Bucknam. They were at
work with a number of
their neighbours on a bridge
in Lunenburgh, when this
dispute arole.
On Saturday morning
last, the keenest grief and
diftrels were kindled in the
minds of the inhabitants of
this town, by the very sud
den and awful death of Mr.
Edward Mumford,in the s2d
year of his age. On the
preceding morning, soon
after lunrile, Mr Mumford
left his farm, which is situ
ated on a point of land op
posite to Newport, at the
distance of about one mile,
in a final! fail boat, alone,
the wind being unfair and
rather frefh,in order to cross
over to town ; and it is con
jeaured that, very soon af
ter, the boat by some accident
filled and funk : His friends
in town, ignorant of his
having left his farm, were
not alarmed for his fafety
until the evening^ when it
was too late to make any
search forhim. —But,dread

morning thebody wasfound

the spot from which he

which circumstances, it is
probable, that, as he was a

Extras of a letter from Havre, to a
gentleman in this town, dated dug 25.
"1 arrived here from Paris fait e
veniog. —I arrived in Paris the 18th—
On the morning of the 10th, 23 of
his Majesty's body-guards were taken
by the citizens in the wood of the Thu
illiries, near the Palace, and 1 saw fix
of them beheaded about 9 o'clock at
the Place Vendome. 1 then went to
breakfaft with a friend, and on my re
turn home, f heard the discharge of
cannon, and saw the streets crowded.
I allied the caafe —they informed me
that the Swiss Guards had fired on the
citizens from the Palace,and that they
were now actually engaged, which was
soon verified. The citizens received
the firft fire from field-pieces and
musketry, which killed about 200 of
them —»who immediately set fire to
the four corners of the Palace,and with
field-pieces beat down the gates of the
Palace. The citizens then formed in
a tolid column, and notwithstanding
the sharp fire of 2000 guards, they
never broke, but marched sword in
hand,and cut the Swiss in such a man
ner as forced them from the Palace
yard to the gardens of the Thuilleries
—here the Guards formed into a hal
low square, but all would not avail
them; the citizens were like blood
hounds—the, renewed the attack,
and finally, about 150 which were left
of the Svifs in the garden, threw down
their arms, and cried for quartes,which
was not heard ; they massacred every
foul they could find that had the ap
pearance of a Swiss. In the firft of
the adion, the King, like a pitiful
coward, as he is, quitted these brave
veterans, who by his behaviour, were
brought into this dilemma, and by the
assistance of some of the officers of the
City Guards, reached the NationalAf
fembly- The next morning about 50
Swiss were found in one of the vaults
of the Palace ; they were carried to the
Assembly to know how they should be
disposed of. The Assembly ordered
them to be confined in the Cadle for
trial. The mnb immediately cried out,
that the Assembly was on the fide of
his Majesty, and that they were no
better than the Aristocrats, and ought
to be treated accordingly. They
moved off with the ptifoners, & (hock
ing to relate, they massacred every one
of them in the streets ; and the women
were as eager to thrust a dagger in
them as any of the enraged mob. The
next da, izth, about 150 more, with
fame officers, were found, but the
Mayor, Mr. Petion, who has great
influence with the people, saved their
lives they are now confined for trial.
Theofficers, and all the old ministers
will no doubt be executed, for the
King, by his mismanagement, let all
his correfpondeoce fall into the hands
of the people ! and they find that he has
been answerable for the emigrant Pri
nces, has kept the disbanded officers in
pay privately, and in fad, has difcov.
ered so much to the people, that he is
now a prisoner: He is to be tried, and
if found guilty, they mean ro let him
go where he pleases ; if not, they will
allow him a pen lion to live like any

Intelligence Extra.
That celebrated personage and spe
culator T. D r, Esq. left this town
tail week, for N y. We under
stand, that his chief business here was,
to obtain " a housekeeper," alias, " 4
mistress He had so far accomplished
his business as to contrail with a Miss
J to fill the department of the
former, to whom he advanced nine
pounds, either as an all of generosity,
or as a further inducement to acconq
plifh his purpose. But unfortunate to
the above " gentleman ;" ihe could
not comply with another article in
the contraa proposed, which was " to
bed, as well as " board" with him.
Accordingly the ''gentleman" thought
proper to leave the nine pounds with
her; for which, it is feared, he will
not receive so much as the infereft. —
Thus much for {peculation !
Last Wednesday the cir
cuit court for the diftria of
New-Hampshire commen
ced their session in this town
—Present, the honorable
judges Wilson and Iredell.
His honor judge Wil
son addressed an elegant &
pertinent charge to the
grand jury, in which he ex
patiated, with great force
and beauty of language, up
on the excellence of the in
stitution of juries, as well
as upon the particular du
ties of grand juries. We
are happy however in an
nouncing to the public the
difmiffion of the grand ju
ry without a single present
ment.
Last Sunday, Capt Cass,
of the 2d United States' re
giment, arrived in this town
immediately from the weft
ern country, by whom we
are informed That the
friendly Indians are using
tbeir utmost endeavors to
bring the hostile Indians to
peace, which he thinks will
probably take place by the
fpring —That about the last
of August the Cornplanter,
with sixty more influential
Chiefs and Warriors of the
Seneca nations, left Fort E
-lis in a veffelforDetroit,from
whence they were to proceed
by land to the hostile Indians
for the purpose of persuad
ing them to terms of peace--
That about fix days previ
ous to this, 75 of the Cana
dian Indians went forward
on the fame business, and it
is the opinion of the friend.
Iy Indians, that this large
embassy will effed the much

peace with their hostile bre
thren. —Contrary to expec
tation very little damage has
Ibeen done to the frontiers

number of Indians aflem
bled at the Miami' village,
waiting the advance of the
American army, whom they
intended to have fought on
their own ground —being
disappointed in this—their
provisions exhaufted —they
immediately dispersed.
Gen-Wayne is at Pittfburg,
organizing and disciplining
his army, which is well pro
vided, in good health, and
poffeis that noble spirit of
enterprize which is truly
charaderiftic of brave Ame
ricans—That if the offer of
peace is rejected, we hope his
abilities, joined by the best
of soldiers, will enable him
to chastise those lavage mis
creants for their temerity.
