“ I think I may (although no politician)
venture to fay 1 few wordsph the political
date of this country, which is too ftrikiflg to
escape the notice even of the molt unthink
ing. The inordinately high price of bread,
and indeed of almost every necessary of life,
occasioned by monopolifers, whp at present
throng this kingdom, has occasioned many
terrible infurreaions in this and many other
towns. At prtefent there prevails the ap
pearance of a calm, the precursor perhaps
of future popular risings, to which we look
forward with fearful expectation. The
chief magift rates of this and other cities
have petitioned his majerty to receive upon
the throne their most ardent prayers in be
half of his fuffering people ; which petition
( although in dife& defiance bf ^ laws) it
is said he has refuted to grant, lime Will
(hew the consequences. The poor are u
nanimous that they may as well die - by the
fwurd ris by famine ; and it is here believed
that the measures of the eiituihg parliament
will decide whether ihe kingdom is to be
torn by intestine diffentions and open rebel
lion. —Should such a crisis arrive,, it is the
prevailing opihidn thit the Soldiery ^ill re
fhfe to a& or rather take tides vvitij tlfe po
pulace. How dreadful the thought, that
the fohlier, him Self fubje&, (hould be called
on to difeharge his piece into the breast of
his fellQW-fubje&, for refilling ffie tyranny
of those who are flawing him. No, fay
they, we cannot, nor will we do it—for we
have families in & fame predicament. It
is even said that dillatisfaaion prevails to a
considerable extend amongst the officers.

The legislature of New fcrley, in order to pro

of choohlig members of Congress in that Rate.
Previous to their short liv'd triumph in the elec
tion to the state legislature,] which was produced
by federal fraud and delution) the electors were
by diftfitts. The federalifts have been caught in
their own firare. Five republicans, in the roorh
of 5 federalists, are elected to reprefefit that state
in the next cangrefs, and by a majority too ot ^B2
votes. Thus lias republicanism been completely
triumphant in N. J. and we pray Heaven to grant

Georgia, till it dull put to total jiTence the voice

At Newbedford, Sylvanus Siffon,aged 15 years.
The melancholy event which catifed his death is
related as follows : That on the afternoon of the
27th nlt. he was alone in the blacksmith's shop en
gaged in an attempt to draw the charge from a
gun which bad been some time loaded, and could
not be fired off—that he had taken out the Shot,
and laid thefn by , •and, it is supposed dropped in
a hot iron to burn out the wadding and peu det;
when the gun went off, and ditirefling to add, the
contents wcfe discharged through his head-—he
lingered till the morning of the 31], and th n de
parted this life, a ilriking instance of the uncer
tainty of its duration.
At Holden, Mr, John Childs, aged 83, one of
the firft settlers in th^t place.
At Southington, (Can.) Mr. Tho's Peck, aged
50 years. He rode out the day before his death,
about four miles—in the evening as he was re
turhihg, about forty or fifty rods from ihe house
he had last left in nfual health, be was found in the
road, laying by the fide of his horse, in a helpless
date; but having his reason and able to fpeak,he
said he had alighted not fallen from his horse and
was ih a fit. He was carried to the beared house
and next morning expired.

At Tetbnry, (Eng.) Ambrose Bennett, aged 106
years and io months —had been a common soldier
nearly 60 years, and fought in many battles in the
reigns of gneen Ahn, George 11. and his prefenc
Majefy.
To tobat a state of degradation has America
bedh reduced to under the present adminiflratlon?
Has She not became the derifibn of Europe by her
pusillanimity—has Jhe not been the calfpaw qf
Great Britain. Is foe not at present a tributary
date dependent on the Dey of Algiers, and would
die not have became a colony ence more subject
to the British government, were the present flare
of affairs but to continue four years longer ?

Congress of the Unite) States.
at a conversation between two icipettabi
gentlemen, one of them a clergyman, who
united in the opi ion that the moment is
big^with important conferences, and that
we are on the eve of some terrible event.
Even government has its fears, and it is ac
cordingly fortifying itfelf. A large regi
ment of soldiers arrived yesterday from the
country, and is to take up its quarters for
the winter in this metropolis. But when
the soldiery, the fear of whom keeps every
thing here in motion, themselves become
disgusted, the right arm of gov rnment is at
once palfted. 1 his state of things reminds
me of a palfage in Barlow's letter to the na
tional Convention, wherein, freaking of
the Royal coalition; he fays—
-66 ter guards are men, and men
" You've made your foes."
