Extract of a letter, dated Leghorn,Sept. 8,
" I mentioned to you that two American
vessels were captured by the Tripolines ; It
appears one only has as yet fallen into their
hands, but I much fear others will Ihare the
lame fate, as one American frigate only is
off the port, which, even with the aid of the
Swedish frigate, is very incompetent to an
effectual blockade. 'I he last accounts from
Tripoli, fay, that the American prilbners arc
treated with unusual lenity, not being oblig
ed to labor, and being fuftred to live in the
noufes of some of the European Consuls. It
isnniverfully lamented, by those who speak
on the fubjecl, that the government of the
U. S. do not lend out a greater force, which
I have no doubt would be judicious. Capt.
Murray, of the U. S. frigate Cancellation,
has lately had a brush with the Tripoline
gun-boats, which were ordered out to en
gage hitn ; he soon obliged them to retire
with iofs as also several hundred troops with
artillery which were drawn up on the shore
^to protea them. Not a man on board the
frigate was wounded, and had it nut been
for an unlucky calm, the gun boats would
have fallen into the hands of Captain M."
Extract of a letter from Leghorn to a merchant
' in Salem, dated Sept. 10, 1802.
" Since the capture of the Franklin, we
do not hear that any other Americans have
fallen into the hands of the Tripolines, and
we have learnt with particular pleasure, by
a Danish frigate just arrived from Tripoli,
that Capt. Mortis and his crew are well
treated by their captors."
All the ports of Guadaloupe are In future
to be open to American veffels,as formerly,
and the exportation of produce permitted.
ST. DOMINGO —Accounts from
Cape-Francois, the igt h October, has been

alarming ;--that on the night of the Bih
October, the blacks had taken Purt-de-Paix
by assault, and murdered all the white in
habitants :-- That two boats full of people
who had fled, had arrived at the Cape, some
of them mortally wounded:- That on the

te, with troops, to retake it ;--and that on

Bort-de- Paix. The result was not known.

A New-York paper of Wednefdav the
^dinft. contains the following melancholy
article ; " Lalt evening one of the mod a
larming Fires that has ever happened in this
'city broke out in a liable in Bride-flreet, be
tween Whitehall and Broad-streets. The
wind blowing frelh from S. W. the flames
made their way through Bridge-street into
Stone-street, with uncontrolable fury ; and
indefs than one hour and a half; the whole
square, confining of about fifty buildings,
tnoftly dwelling-houses) were either burnt,
pulled down or gutted. We are unable to
state the origin or extent of the fire ; among
the fufferers, are Mr. A. Carol, Col. Boyd,
Mr. Peter Mefier, Mr. James' Cheatham,
Mr. R. Suydam, Mr, Cammeya, &c.
MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.
On Monday, the election of Representa
tives to the Eighth Cougrefs of the United
States, took place in the fevehteen DiAri^ts
of this Commonwealth:
The following is a corre& ftateme^t of the
votes, in the several towns that we have heard
from. We can (peak with certainty of the
choice of Dr. Wm. Eustis, the Hon. Jacob
Crowninshield, Hon; J. B. Vaknum,
Ebenezer Seaver, Esq. Hor. Phanuel
Bishop, .and the Hon. T. J. Skinner.
The probability also, is, that Meffrs.Cutts,
Kinsley, and Green, are eie&ed.=
All undeviating Republicans.
New ferfey Election has terminated in fa
vor of the Republicans. This secures to
them the appointment ot a U. S. Senator,
and all the State Officers.
In Penfylvania the majority is TWEN
TY-FOUR THOUSAND in favor of the
Patriotic Governor M'Kean. How many
j these arc Itild Irishmen ?
That Penrfyvmnia, the firft State io the
Union, should be so democratic as to return
/every one of her eighteen members to Con
^refs Republican, and not buffer bne of the
dory sea to be cle&ed, is fitch an evidence of
" the people ' being their own ivorft enemies,"
phat we need not be lurprifed at the solicitude
,displayed by the federal editors to conceal
• this alarming intelligence !
Callender and the Tories have the vanity
to lay they can write down the President —
Poor creatures ! if defamation and Icandal
could effed their objed, no doubt they would
be fuccefsful. These fellows argue, that it
is less difficult to pull down than build up, and
have the impudence to declare, that in their
work of dedrudion, lies and /caudal shall be
their inoft effectual weapons,

A New Periodical Paper.
We have received the firft number of b
new periodical paper published in Boftoh, by
Messrs. Gilbert and Dean, entitled, the
" Weekly Magazine." This paper is entires
ly devoted to Literature, Arts and Sciences-^
politics are excluded.—ls we may judge
from the appearance of the firft number, and
the known abilities of the Editors, the selec
tion will be judicious, and we doubt not will
become one of the firft of its kind on the
Continent; It is printed on paper of the
tint quality, and the workmanship is execut
ed in a fupetior style ; it contains much a
musing, inftrudive and ufeful matter, and
bids fair to meet with a liberal encourage
ment. —Price Two Dollars per annum.—

While the Fedeflifts in the northern States are
(hewing ns how much we are to lose by being in
the interest of the southern States, and how much
we may probably fuffer by them—the federalists
in the southern are (hewing how the southern
States fuffer by leaving so much commerce in the
northern. Andat the fame time it has been a
fubje^t of clamour that Mr. Jefferfon preferred
that the southern States should be planters, and
the northern as they are, rather than innovate up
on the present order of things. The inconsistency
of the Federalists is evident, and what Mr. jeffer
fon is declared to have said is certainly for the
interest of the northern dates, and perhaps the
southern too. Sal. Reg.

do good to all especially to the houfhold of faith ;
be manifefted a tteadfaft faith in the religion of
Jesus Chrilt, and in the profpeft of death, a victo
ry over the tears thereof, and was enabled,through
rich Sovereign grace, (as he frequently expressed
himfelf) to rejoice in hope of the Glory ot God ;
he gave good council and instruction to all his
friends; and commended them to God. He has
left a widow and eight Children to mourn the loss
ofa kind and tender Husband, an affectionate, and
indulgeht Father. May it please God to be the

of the Fatherless in his holy habitation."

Match. —On Tuefday Atiguft 19, a wa
ger of rather a singular nature, and of con
siderable amount, was determined on the
road between Glasgow and Falcik. The
bet was laid between Mr. John Stobo, sur
geon in Cumbernauld, and Mr. James
Smith of the fame place, that the latter gen
tleman would not walk in.the space of half
an hour two miles backwards. To the
furprize of many present, Mr. Smith per
formed the walk exactly in twenty minutes.
There Was a great concourse of fpedaior^
present, and the novelty of the bet afforded
good sport.

A Fellow walking down Snow-Hill, on
a sultry evening, observed an old gentle
man without his hat, panting and leaning on
a polt, and courteously asked him what was
the matter. " Sir," said the old man, “an
impudent rascal has just foatched my hat off
and ran away with it. I have run after
him until I have quite loft my breath, and
cannot, if my life depended on it, go a step
farther." What not a step ?"• fays the fel
low. " Not a single step," retained the 0-
ther. Why then, by Jupiter, I must have
your Wig," and fuatched off his fine flawing
caxon, and was out of fight in a minute.

N. W. he observed signals of greater distress, and
for abandoning the frigate, a. # d run under her he
as near as possible. The unfortunate Spaniards
waved their handkerchiefs, and teemed almost in
despair—and the ship rolled as it nearly full ot
water. At 9A. M. her mainmalt went over her
fide—and her foremall felt alternately from fide
to tide. Every effort was made to afford her af
fifiance, but in vain. A fog occationed Capt. P.
to lose light of her. In half an hour it cleared
away ; but the ship was no more to be seen. 413
persons, including several women and children,
were on board. She^was bound from Porto Rico
to Cadiz, and had 100,000 dollars on board.
