Extract of a letter from a Biptift Clergyman in Lon
\ don, to his correfcondent in this city, dated July 8,
'79°°
" I thank you foPyout two last epiffles, and as
sure you that it always gives me pleasure to fee your
hand writing. The pamphlet* you sent me, for
which please to accept my acknowlegements, does
credit to the author's head and heart——he has
employed the vivida vis animi in a very good cause,
and that cause must Ipread; A great part of the
inhabitants of this country understand the rights of
humanity and. of chriftianity far better th'an their
ancestors. We think for ourselves---we write—we
print--yea,we are fowicked as to pray that God will
be so good as to support all good governments, and
to reform or destroy all bad ones. We 'ike a lim
ited monarchy, we love “ the majesty of the peo
ple," but we detest the fvereignt, of Kings. Let
Kings rule by law, let God alone be Sovereign :
*' He has a right to do what he will, because he
will only do that which is right," said one of the
Nonconformifts, You may judge of my politicks
by a toast the other day at a' convivial meeting,
where it was my office to preside, " May the Revo
lution in America under WASHINGTON the
GREAT,and the Revolution in France under Lewis
XVl.be followed by--a Revolution of the WORLD.
" There is no doubt, an intimate connexion be-
tween the spread of civil and religious liberty ;
I should like tp lee something written on this fub
ijed with Philosophical acumen, and to hear from
France and America that the Kingdom of Imman
uel advanced with the^Empire of Reason and Hu
manity. Had our worthy and honoured friend,the
venerable Dr. Gill, lived to fee the deftrudion
of the Baftile, he would have exulted in his oivn
views of Prophecy, and blessed the FAITHFUL
GOD; but this is our privilege, because it is our
duty I often tell my people that it cannot be
- their privilege to do any thing, unless it be previ
eu fly their duty to do it." *Dr. Rogers',
Last Sunday afternoon, as some children were
playing upon a wharf, one of them unfortunately
fell into the water, and in a short time funk to the
bottom ; A little boy, about eleven years of age,
hearing the cries and lamentations of his com
panions, manfully plunged in and brought up the
child to the top of the water,when he was aflifted
by a negro man, who succeeded him in getting him
upon the wharf.
By this time the child was deprived of all signs
of life; not a pulse to be felt! Not a vivid hue in
the eye !---Apparently doomed to a subterranean
abode ! But, by the humane and "benevolent exer
tions of Dr. Eli/ha Hall, in perfuing the proper
method of refafcitation, the child was soon refeued
from the impending jaws of death, and again re
stored to the fond embraces of its afflicted parents.
CHARLESTON, (s. C.) AUG. 6.
Ext raft of a letter from a gentleman in NaJau,
(N. P.) to the Printer of this paper.
« TTERE we are so perfe&ly fatisfied that wat
will be declared againit Spain, that we
are fitting out privateers and eagerly anticipate
not only rich captures, but an expedition against
Cuba. Should an enterprise of the kind be under
taken, the event is certain, at the,price of fewer
lives than the last invasion of that ifiand cost;"
Braviffimo !
We are informed, that a gentleman in Orange
county, has lately ere&ed a mill with two run of
stones, in the short space of one day----this mill is
laid to have been so completely finifhed, as on the
fame day to grind one hundred bufoels of^wbeat.—-^
This may appear somewhat astonishing to the rea
der, when we inform him that (he was turned by a
drain of water which he cut near a mile and a half
long, and seven feet deep on a level, and that her
timbers were the preceding day Handing in the
woods!&
This phenomenon of industry, we hre happy to
mention, was performed without the aid of spiritu
ous liquors, •.

all Friday night in preparing dispatches with his

these dispatches, whether England has meant all
along to quarrel with us For there is certainly
nothing in the decree relative to Spain, which can
furnifh her with any reafonablc pretence for a
quarrel now. We further add, that no Englishman
who thinks, Can forbear applauding it ; for every

Mr. Burke dated in his speech in the House of
Commons, this mild position ; " There was not in
dll the jails of the kingdom, one Malefaßor that bad
a thousandth part of the guilt of Mr. Hafings!"
Grant it to be true ; and now what follows ? Every
one knows that where guilt is so apparent, very
little time is required to prove it. And yet after
this, Mr. Burke and his brother Managers have
been three years engaged in trying to prove feme
thing. London Paper.
Accounts from Elfineur, dated the 17th inflanty

Ulfica, Swedish man of war, was loft through Hart

By Capt. Dunn, who arrived here on Monday
last, from Bourdeaux, we have received French pa
pers, as late as 29th of August, which contain the
French information which we this day present to
the public, under the Foreign Head, Our readers
^ill obferve,that by the decree of the National As
sembly for fitting out an armament, the French
aftive fleet is to be augmented to, at least, 45
fail uT the line—But the decree does not make
that number the extent---indeed, it was proposed
in the Assembly to augment the fleet, in commit
fibn, to feventy-tw& fail of the line—and to this
number jt can be augmented, confident with the
decree— and doubtless will be. So far is the po
pulace of France from being clamourous at this
measure, as the English papers assert, that it has
been received with the warmest approbation by
all ranks;
*The Decree, ^c. will be in our next.
From the '^Journal de Liberne," of August 29,
we have extracted the following paragraph :--
PARIS, AUGUST 29.
THE horizon, as we have always feared, is fill
tn several of the Southern newspapers, dnd some
northern ones, an extract of a datelefi letter has
been published, said to be written in Andalulia
to a gentleman in London; which informs, that
an earthquake had destroyed a great part'of the
rock of Gibraltar, and funk many vessels„ &c.
Though Nature gave Spain this important rock,
originally, we can assert, that the above account of
Nature's making it pregnable, is erroneous. The
Editor has had in his possession,. letters from Gib
raltar, dated Aug: 30;—-The latest advices by the
Packet, which brought the Andalusian letter, are
nb later than the 6th or 7th of September. From
these dates, our readers will easily fee, that it must
be an English fabrication, intended, perhaps, to
answer some stock-jobbing purpose.
, Counterfeit Dollars.
The public are cautioned to beware of Counter
feit Dollars, dated 1781 ---as they are currently
passing in this and the State of Massachusetts.-—
The impression is not so deep as in the true dollars,
-.-the letters of the word ultra on the pillar are
not plain---the colour is of a dun and copper cast—-
and the gloss is easy to be perceived.

She had lived federal months, in a large house, entire

lived found her on the floor, dead, having all her
clothes, from her loins upwards, wholly burned cff,
the fin turned brown, her hands, breaf and ftomacb
burned to a crisp, but the lower part of her clothes not
much burned. From various circumflances it is pro
bable that while fitting in her chair, vjith a candle
in her hands, foe was foiled with some ft, which ren
dered her totally insensible, "and that foe was thus burn
ed, chiefly while fating, until at length fa fell out of
her chair, whereby that <was overfet. In this situati
on foe was found, about 22 hours (as seems most like

by the immediate aft and providence of God.
