the Earl of Dorcbe^er, at the Court of Charles
— 11. ofEngland—a Buffoon—or a man of sport whose
practice it was to keep a journal of the fogies and
tranfaaiobs of the day—'which the King frequently
am used himfelf in reading. An Adrian officer,
having been taken into the Pru(Ban camp was fen„
fenced by aCoart- Martial to be hung ; but before
the King confirmed the fentgftce, he received a let
ter from the condemned officer, informing hie Ma
jesty, that he had left in Auttria a very amiable
wife and family ; who mutt fuffer the extremest
miseries of want, if he was not permitted to re.
tarn home, and adjoft his difordcred affairs ; pro.
mifing to return ina reasonable stipulated time,and
fcfer the (entente of the Court. This letter the
King submitted to his principal officers, whose
opinions were unanimously against a compliance
with the officer—in whith, after mentioning the
certain distresses that would attend his innocent
fishily, he pledged his " honour as soldier,"
that he would return at the time that his Majeffy
Should propose. The King—one of the great
est soldiers on earth—was struck with the pledge;
and immediately gave the officer a padport to go
CO Auftfia, and to return in a month. On the
evening of the day of this event —the King, to di
vert himfelf, called for the Journal of the above
named Nobleman ; and the firft article that llruck
his eye was thi, — "Angus 16. Frederick 111.
^'^ es PrtfQ &r.—A D — FOOL: For
Juffiring, an Aufirian 3„, digged in bis camp, and
Sentenced to be bang, to return borne uninjured."
"What can this mean, toy Lord :" alked the
" As the firft proof of my firm reflation ftr'&
by to fulfil this new engig^m^t, fafcr me to in
form you of the obstacles of every kind, which,
is the cloyfters, are thrown in the way of the
execution of your laws. Promises, threats, ter
rours, affronts, snares, nothing is forgot to rivet
the chains which it was year intention to break.
Take fucli steps as year wisdom shall point out to
flop the progress Os measures so censurable."
% this the President made the following reply :
*• The National Affemol,, whilst it applauds
the patriotick devotion of citizens of Both sexes,
and of every rank feels a particular -fatisfaftion in
having reinstated in their natural rights weak and
unfortunate beings, who make so noble and effect
ing an use of thrfr liberty. ,
It is more easy to conceive than to describe what
sensations this address excited throughout the whole
Assembly, except indeed in the Abbe Maury's
quarter..
The eloquent Speaker appeared without her re
ligious dress, and seemed already to enjoy the hip
pinefs which ever accompanies liberty.
Mademoiselle Jouet retired amidst the acclama
tions of the auditory, which was unufully numerous.

HEALTH! Hail thou fled thy fav'rite shore f
Fair Columbia mourns thee gone;
Oh return; return once more,
Leave her not thy loss to moan.
See her sons late frefh with youth,
Lolling, languid, feck the bed ;
See her daughters, fam'd for truth,
Droop—for rosy Health is fled.
Return to him and all is well-
Our wishes hang on him alone j
Come, and pale disease dispel,
Lcavt a, not his lots to moan.
But sure some change has taken place !
Each one starting leaves his bled :
Anxiety now fills each face—
And they forget that Health is fled;
Ah no! But each forgets his pain,
Columbia's BEST BELOVEb droops,
Oh Health ! Return ! Retain again ;

The number of deaths fim the Influenza and
other disorders in this part of the country, exceeds^
that of any other period no, remembered.J
King of the facetious Nobleman. " Pretty much
as it is written," apfwered the wit. " But it is
rather harty, rejoined. Frederck ; for if the jAuf
trian officer returns back at the stipulated time ;
what will you then think." " Taink," fays the
other, " I think I Ihall erase from my Journal, the
words' " Frederick 111. King of Prussia," and
insert infterd thereof, the officer's name, as the
d——d FOOL." - —
THE Emperour JOSEPH 11. lately deceased;
was justly called the Titus of Germany. An old
Adrian officer, who hid but a small penfton, that
was inefficient for the demands of his family,
came to wait on the Emperour, explained his,in
digent condition, and intrea'ted his compassion ;
adding, " that he had ten children alive.". The
Emperour, desirous to know the certainty of this
affair, went to the officer's house in disguise, and,
instead of ten, found eleven children. "%y ele
ven ?" "Itit a poor orphan," replied she soldier,
" that, I took into my house from motives of charity."
The Prince, touched with this act of beneficence,
immediatelyordered rn hundred florins to be given
to each of his children.

THE PRESIDENT of the United States is so

The PRESIDENT of the United States; in ad

BENNINGTON; VERMONT, APRIL §.
A correspondent informs; that 1 gentleman iri
Pownal, having, as is supposed, taken a notion id
some portable articles in the store of Messrs. Wil*
liam and Gardner Hall, of that town ; in order
to come at them easily, got on the house in the
night, and pare of the way down chimney, where
unfortunately he stuck faft, until fear of fu ffocation
in the morning, obliged him to call for help.
Connecticut has repealed its Excise Law
—New-York, and R hode-Island (which is now
a Member of the Union), have none. Thus NEW-
HaMpshire and Massachusetts ffand, sur
rounded by States, who, free from the incumbrance
of an Exeife, must divert from our ports the com
merce of all foreigners ; and entail consequences on
us highly prejudicial to our beff ipterefts. It ought
to be remembered, that Five years have not ex
pired, since Massachusetts fuffered a shock,
from the partial laws refpefting Commerce enabled
in it—which it hath not yet recovered from-—and
if they had not been so early repealed as they were,
must have given a fatal flab to ou[ Trade. The
Kxcife Aft is pregnant with similar consequences
—from similar caufts.

THE CAR RYING TRADE—
Os which fb much has been said in papers, has
been an object of the most assiduous attention of
Congress, In the firft feffien, high duties of ton
nage were laid on foreign vessels, and a drawback
of duties on goods in American bottoms—ln the
present feffiori, the tonnage 6n foreigners has been
doubled—and a prohibition on some of then!, after
a certain date, carrying American produce. More
it was not in the power of Congress to grant—and
when we reflea how prejudicial some of rhe south
ern Members think the measure ^ill operate, as it
refpe&s them, we cannot expeft more.

and other Magistrates of the State of Connecticut,

" WE have read with indignation, in one of
the London prints, a paragraph, receding an en
gagement between two Portugues men of war and
ah Algerine corsair. As such a report may alarm
the concerned on your fide, we think it necessary
to contradict it ; and also to assure you, that none
of those rovers dare stir out of port —much lels to
pass the Straits. A Portuguese squadron is to fail
in a few days to their old Ration in the Straits ;
which will effectually shut up every Algerine, and
make the navigation of your flag in these seas per
fectly fafe. It may be well to publish this in your
papers to quiet the minds of your navigators ; for
we confider that paragraph to have been invented
for an evil purpose."
Ordained, the §th ult. in colleage with his Fa

Dodor Langdon of Hampton made the consecrating
prayer—Rev. Mr. Webber Os Salisbury gave the
Charge—Rev. Mr Thayer of Hampton gave the
Right Handof Fellowship, and the Rev. Mr, Morse
of Charleftown made the concluding prayer.
The e^ercifes were admirably performed, in pre
sence of a crouded and solemnized auditory—and
the decency, order and decorum, which were con
spicuous through the day, have been seldom if
ever equalled on a similar occasion.
