ing the report which hasbeen in circulation for a day or two
pad,relative to the refignatiou of the Colle&or of chit Port,
and the appointment of the President of the Grand
Convention; and find it altogether premature—Tc fi sup
posed to have originated in coofequence of the Collector's
having given credit to feme persons at the Custom House,
contrary to law, and chat there are debts amounting to
eight or ten thousand dollars, whichh arq supposed to be

Some particulars of the lots of the frigate Philadelphia.
Leghorn, Dec. 46.
" The enclosed packet contains copies of letters
from Tripoli informing us of the loss of the United
States frigate ttye Philadelphia. ^ She ran on a bank
abreast of that labour at 11A. m. on the gift
of O&ober and kept up a brifle cannonade with
the gun-boats of that Regency until 4, p.m. when
failing in thqir efforts to ^ bar off, they surren
dered to fapefior force. The Officers and crew are
!" ,P" v i f y ; but the former ate permitted to re
main in the, American Conlular house, in conse
quence of my having paid the reritin anticipation
for spur years before I left that place. .1
^The officers and crew have been plundeqd of
every thing, and are cmlequentl, in want of every
ueceffary of life. J have forwarded a credit for
their prefect maintainsnee until provision is made
for them by government—and foil prbeure a
change of clothes for each with all poffiblc expedi.
tian. /.
"As i; is of great importance that intelligence
of this deplorable event fliould reach the feat of
government with all possible expedition, I rrqueft
you tn forward the enclosed by the firft vessel from
3arcellona, and if nope fliould be ready to fail im
mediately lor the United Srates, to immediately en
dofe it to Mr. Kirkpatrick, oucConful at Malaga,
requeuing him to forward it from this place by the
most direct conveyance. . , ~
On your arrival in America, it would be of use
to pubHh an extract from this letter, in order that,
the relations of the unfortunate Sufferers may be in^
formed of their'real situation, and at the fame
time to offer to thole who are in ©rcumftances
to make remittances to their friends, my service
gratis, as thereby they will save commission and o-l
ther charges generally made on such eccafions.
Wife ng you a pleasant passage, I am, fir, your
most obedient servant.
-JAMES L. CATHCART.
Capt. Orne, Leghorn.
On the 21st of February arrived at Wilmington, N. C.
£° m S a l em , the fchr. Sally, Capt. Very. Came passenger
; ^'he Sally, a certain John Haughan, a native of Scotland,
~hich place he left, by his own account, about 12 months
ago,and that he took passage from Liverpoolto St. Johns,
N- S from whence he travelled by land to Salem byway
of BoftoD. Me fafely landed here op the 21st, about fun
fet,g remarkable good health. Said John is about 5 feet
9 or 10 inches high,ftout and well made, a planter, by pra
feflien, byt follows divers othqr bufiuefo, and with all it
a very induftriows fellow, as will clearly appear from the
following narration.
”ome time after dark, on the fame evening that John
arrived, a white man was discovered carrying off several
trunks and other things, from Mrs, Dorsey's tavern, and
?? ,e,!arreseipg given, be &aade hia escape, leaving be.
hmd habooty. Sfa after Mr. Heifo ^wp was broke
open, and rifled ; aad about re or ^ o'clock, John was
detected in the cabinof a brig at the upper end of the
townin the aft of plundering, John was then conveyed
to prison, and the next day taken before two magistrates
to be examined who ea finding Mr. Henry's cloth in one
es his trunks, remanded him to prison, for trial at the next
Superior Court es the diftri& of North Carolina.
John had with him a seaman's protection bearing the
name of John Lefter of Salem, 1 certificate of the marriage
of John Leger to Miss Nancy Crafo, which he fays he
purchased of said Leftar for 1, dollars ; ,some French
made linen shirts and handkerchiefs marked D. L. and D.
Leffingwell ; some India cotton checked Shirts; a number
of keys without Jocks; a butcher's leather purse ; and ap
peared to be well armed and accoutred for high way opcr
a""m Wilmington Gaz.
Some suppose the butchers purse to be the fame that
was taken from John Winffiip, on the high way near Bos
ton a few months past ; and that the protection and mar
riage certificate were stolen from a vessel at lalcm on the
ift ult.
The following may be added to Dr. Wsfiring of ar.
gumeuts to prove the exigence of Mr. Jeferfon's
. Salt Mountain...
"Under the cathedral church at Bremen is a vaulted
apartment supported on pillars; i c is near 60 paces IqdA
and half as many broad. The light and air are constantly
admitted into it by three window, though it is Several
feet beneath the level of the ground. .Here are five large
oak coffer, each containing a corpse, which without be
ing embalmed, have Suffered no corruption—l examined
them feycrally for near two hoprs—The most curious and
perfea is thqt of a,woman—Tradition fays, flie was an
English counter, who dying at Brernep about two-hundred
and fifty years ago, ordered bed bod, to be placed in
this vault uninterred, in the appreheufion that her rela
tions would cause it to be brought over to her native coun*
try—Though the muscular skia is totally dried In ever,
part, yet so little, are the features of the face funk or chang
ed, that nothing is more certain, then that ffie was young,
and even beautiful. It is a final! countenance, round id it,
contour ; the cartilage of the nose and nostrils have under
gone go alteration ; her teeth are all firm in tbqir sockets
but the lips are all drawn away from over them. The
checks are funk io, but yet less than I ever remem
ber to have fan in embalmed bodies. The hair of her
head is at this time more than 18 inches long, very thick,
and so faft th^t I heaved the corpse out of the coffer by it ;
c °l° ur i s a light brown, and as frefh and glassy as that
Q perfau.—That this lady was of high rank feeto
evident from the extreme fineness of the linen, which cov
'T b^y• 'but 'in vain endeavour to procure as,
", b "'° to ~ hiftary, her title, er any other particular,
though I took 00 little pains for that purpose. The other
cerpfes are Lkewife very extraordinary.
There are in this vault likewise, turkeys, hawks, wex-
Icls, and other animals, which have been bung up here,
b ora time immemorial, fame very lately, and are all in the
complete preservation and unaltered in their part,
The cause of this phenomenon is doubttefs the drynefa of
the place, where the, are laid. It is in vain to seek for a#
ny other. The magistrates do n6t permit any frefh bodies
to be brought here, and these is no other fubterhneaU
chamber, which has the fame property. It would have
made an excellent miracle two or three centuries ago id
proper hands ; but now mankind are grown tea wife."
