but we fliall barely assert fa&s that ap
pear very suspicious—The British min
isterial prints long before the assassin
ation of Paul, foretold a speedy revolts
tion in Russia—The British fleet failed
for the Baltic and arrived exactly as
the predicted revolution, or assassina
tion takes place—but, no doubt this was
all accidentally ! It was also an accident
that pu\ poison in the drink of Lord Pi
got ! It was accident that blew up the
infernal machine at Paris ! It was acci
dent that assassinated Kleber in Egypt !
It was accident that assassinated Rober
jot and Bonnier, at Raftadt! It was ac
cident that conveyed poison into the
cup of Oliver Bond, when prisoner, and
Edward Fitzgerald, after receiving three
bullet and dagger wounds ! It was acci
dent that sent to many thousand rebel
lions British fubj&,\o the bottom of
East River from the York Prison ships !
It was accident that hanged Huddy ! It
was accident that attempted to bribe
Govornor Read, and put the bribe into
the hands of that disinterested man com
modore Johnson ! It was accident that
confined Fayette' in a German dun
geon ! But need we go farther than the
instance which, through the degraded
and perfidious policy which has govern
ed America for leveral years past, has,
out of envy, to the immortal man
whom it concerns, and whose sagacity
baffled the assassin, concealed the fa&,
was it accident that employed a man of
so re fpe&able a profeffion as that of
a Phvfaian to poison Dr. Franklin at
Paris, by the detestable means of a pre
sent of wine, in which a poison so deadly
was infufed, that on administering a dose
thereof to a domestic animal, it instantly
fell dead ! These were all accidents !—

channel which divides the islands of Amac and
Salthom, except a large man of war which we dis
covered on the Sand banks which surround the

it is the ship in which the Admiral is himfelf, of
94 .guns, which drawing too much water, com
pelled a Prussian vessel from London, in ballast,
to light him of all the guns.-

CT A .CURIOSITY.
A piece of Copper Coin has lately been difeover
ed, in opening a spring in the village of Chilli
chothe, in the North Weft Territory. Impres
sions upon paper of both tides of this coin have
been sent by John S. Willis, E s q. to a gentleman
in Philadelphia. They appear to be Chinese
characters. Upon presenting them to Mr. Peale
for the Museum, he produced four pieces of cop
per coin, procured at different times from China,
which are exactly similar to the one found in the
spring at Chillichothe, as far as judgment can be
formed from comparing them with the impres

coin is now in the possession of Gov. St. Clair.
