ON the zzd November last, in lat. 23
42, long. 67, 15, at 9, P. M. the
Illinois was brought 'o by a Republican
privateer schooner, called the Narbenaife,
of 12 guns and a number of men on
board, commanded by citizen Vilattee,
who arrived here on the 27th of Augufi
left, in the schooner Liberty, from Point
a Petre, with dispatches fur the French
Minister. The above Privateer mounted
13 guns, was under British colours, and
said they failed last from Dominico, they
immediately ordered Capt. Wroth, to
hoist out his boat and come on board the
privateer ; which he complied with, after
he came on board, they sent a French offi
cer and three men on board the Illinois,
who rumaged all her cabins, bruke open
the hatches, took out two half barrels cf
four, besides cibin sea stores, and broke
open the captain's trunk, out of wh:ch they
took thirty dollars in cash. Mr. Lewden,
the supercargo of the Illinois, remonstra
ted against such fcandalou>#a&ions com
mittea agaiaft their best allies the Ameri
cans, and in consequence of which they
called him an English rascal, offering a
reward of 100 dollars to any person on
board who could give information that he
was an Englishman, they infixed he was
such ; under rhefe circumOances,he found
himfelf xeceffitated to produce his pas&,
who after fearing it called him a damned
aristocrat American. Mr. Charnois, a
French gentleman, and a native of Roch
elle, who was passenger in the Illinois,
they ordered him to fetch his property on
deck, which he did, they afterwards or-[
dered him to flep into the boat, leaving 1
the schooner, after loading Mr. Lewdeni
and the crew with very abusive language. 1

VERSES 1
Worthy of a place, not only in the corner
of every newspaper, but alfoin the cor
ner of every human heart.
AH! ye who meet fern winter's frown.
Upheld by fortune's powerful band,
Who fee the chilling snow come down,
With all her comforts at command :
0 ! think of their left happy doom,
Whom poverty's scarp wees afoil !
No sparkling fire, no cheerful room
Revive their cheek, cold, funk and pale.
Deep howls the wind ! th,pelting rain
Drips thro' the Jhatter'd casement cold ;
While the fad mother's arms contain
Her infants, foilsring in the fold.
In vain they raise their piteous cries,
And plead at hungry nature's call;
Their only food a mother's sigh !
Their only warmth the tears that fall !
Stretch'd on his miserable bed, N
'I be wretched father Jinks in grief;
Pale fichiefsrefs upon his bead,
And only hopes from death relief.
The parents' tender, mournful eyft,
Mingle their faint and bum d beams ;
Frejb wots from retrof,eßion rife,
EreJhfourctj torn mem'ry's fountain dreams.
O rich ! the transport night be thine,
Tofcothe their fuferin^s info peace !
To bid the fan of com fort foine,
And want's opprtfue empire cease.
To fee the glow of health return,
Re-animate the faded cheek !f
Life's feeble spark, rekindled, burn,
Aid give —what language cannot speak.
On fancy's pinion oft I roam,
With pity, partner of me flight,
Forget a while that grief's my own,
Andtafe a soothing, Jwcet del ght.
Forget the many poignant wees,
That weigh this drooping form to earth ;
Where relief farrow hopes ie,ofa
Scap'dfrom those ills which gave it b rtb,
O ! ye embark'd for pfafure's feore,
Refrain a while the fiwt'ring fa?l
At pity's call retard thenar,
Nor let her plaintive pleadings fail.
used the French passenger very inhumanly,
they seized a rope about hi# neck, and at
tempted to throw him overboard,but Capt.
Wroth pleaded his cause, and in fitted that
he was a good republican, and moreover,
that it was ver, unmanly in them to de-
Iprivelprive him of life, for if be committed any
crime agaiaft hit country,'he ought in juf
rice to be tried by the laws of that nation
whence he belonged to, rather than fuffer
such a disgraceful death. He pleaded so
far in his behalf, that his life was (pared at

A COW, belonging to Mr. J. Cock

perled calves, forward they grew togeth
er, the one lay partly acrofi the other.—
The back part of the heads grew together.
This extraordinary calf, or lufas nature,
had z mouths, 4 eye; 4 ears, 8 legs, and
2 tails.
This account may appear ludicrous to
fohie and shocking to others ; but it is a
tact, and has been seen by many.

PROFUGAE ARTES.
This country has become the asylum of
persecuted genius, as well as a refuge to
hose persecuted for political principles of
all nations. England, ever so renowned
^s a manufacturing nation through a nar
row policy, is driving from her bosom

ng to diminish labor. In the neighbor
hood of Philadelphia, a manufa&oy for
canning leather by a new process is now
erecting—Leather by this process, with a
foflil fubhance is to be tanned in one tenth
part @f the usual time and with much left
labor. The inventor was unable to ufee
patent he obtained in England, the tan
ners, who were unacquainted with the Se
cret, having ferreted up an old a& 0!
parliament by which it was prohibited to
:an leather without its undergoing the us

uf&aory off loth has alfa, we understand,
been driven to this fide of the Atlantic by
the fame narrow policy.
