when we find, in a single article in a

ATTEMPT UPON SICILY.
Murat has at leogth made an attack
upon Sicily, and even by his own con
fession, has failed. On the 17th of last
month, Murat conceiving that the equi
noctial gales had commenced, & would
fpree opr ships to return to port, em
barked some detachments of his army
ip the night, and they reached the Si»
ciliao shore to the southward of Mes
sina in safety.—-They debarked at San
Stefaino, at three o'clock in the after
noon, and drove our out-posts to Du
„ cheBsa. This was the sum and sub
v ^stance of their atchievemeats, even ac
cording to their own accounts, for the
lytud ceased, a?d a dead calm ensued ;
the boats sent to Calabria to carry o
ver more troops could not get back to
Sicily, and part of the troops that had
been landed in Sicily could not get
back to Calabria for want of their
boats!

The following address to the citi
zens of Rome, was issued by Lucien
Bonaparte, and privately distributed
two days after he sailed, but was im
mediately suppressed by tn o ficial or
der :
: “to THE CITIZENS OF ROME.
r “ In the bosom of retirement, occu
pied with no other cares than those of
contributing to the happiness of my
family and my neighbours, and tasting
on Rome’s classic territory all that
pure refined bliss which a mind imbued
with a love of the arts can enjoy, I was
assailed by the ruthless hand of des
potism, rendered still more heavy by
its being that of a brother ; still more
galling, as he owes his life and his
honors to my intrepidity.
“ This infernal mandate was, that I
should repudiate an endeared wife, and
desert those children whom nature i
dentifies with my existence; that I
\ should ascend a throne created by the
most horrible perfidy, and unite my
efforts to distpoil and subjugate the yet
unconquered part of the globe,
“ Citizens, I had no choice between
uncondition d submission and immedL
ate flight. I did hot hesitate. The
Tiber, on whose banks I had vainly
hoped to pass my allotted term of life,
^received me in her bosom, and she
will waft me, I trust* iu safety, to those
shores which, dreadful when sought
in hostility, became a sure place of re'
luge to the destitute and the oppres
sed.
“ Citizens, farewell 1 my gratitude
is all I can leave behind. May your
chains sit light upon you ; or rather,
may you soon cease to bear any, by
^the intervention of that Omnipotent
vengeance* which sooner or later pun
ishes usurpation, tyranny and oppres
sion.

Extrafl of a letter from Belfast dated the 16th

4* I hope avc have seen the worst of
the commercial distresses of this coun
try, unless there should be a complete
blow up of the present system.
44 In London, things arc extremely
bad—bullion has disappeared, and of
course, the credit of paper has dimi
nished—the stocks have consequent^
fallen, and the grrat banking and com
mercial hodles, who have had the
means, are deeply interested in them;
and the worst of it is, that the money
lodged with them, by persons living in
4 the country, End by foreigners, has
, been occupied by»thein instock specu
l- lations, they a*e unable to refund
it. M r.--, who hM^year would not
allow me more than 4 per ernt. for my
money in his hands, now begs me not
• to draw on him for the balance he owes
me, as he says, if he is forced to go in
to the market, and sell his omnium, it
will nearly ruin him. The stocks
have risen a little in London. This
has been by the banjfc coming forward
nr the desire of the minister to assist
the contractors foi^lhe loan—but, you
may depend up^ it,%bat Whenever the
' omnium is pushed intts the market a<
gain, it will tumble lowd^than ever.”

“Our Legislators begin to congret
gate at the capitol. No doubt in the
course of the next week we shall be
filled with them. They always give
liveliness to Washington ; and add
much to social intercourse. 1 am of
opinion that the approaching- session
will be a very interesting one, and fur

Armstrong is expected here shortly, on
a visit to the government after his re
turn from France.”
The Philadelphia papers acknow
ledge the receipt, of London dates to
the 17th Oct. by the ship Bainbridge,
Gray, in 24 days passage from the
Downs—Their contents which we.have
seen, appear unimportant. They state
that the-repudiated empress Josephine
was wandering about Switzerland in
cognito; that Scbastiani was fortifying
Malaga and Grenada ; that a French
division had been compelled to retreat
from Murcia; and that an untraced
report was current in London on the
16th Oct. that another battle in Portu
gal had been fought on the 2d Oct.

A severe agitation of the earth was
felt in Portsmouth, N. H. on Friday
evening the 9-h instant, about three
minutes past 9 o’clock——Its progress
appeared to be fro<i N. W. to S. E.
and v'as accompanied by a heavy ex
plosion.—Its duration from one to two
minutes ; some window glass broken
by the shock, nh.ch a vessel coming
into harbor felt as severely as if she
run aground. The Kennebunk paper
mentions it as having been violently
felt there ; that it lasted about 20 se
conds, was attended with a loud ram
bling, and that the houses, and con
tents, were very much agitated—The
Portland Gazette states its being but
slightly felt there, about half past 9 o’
clock, and that from a calm the wind for
a few moments blew very fresh before
th«f\shnck. It was sensibly felt at Sa
i IdKt Newbur.port, Yorjc, Exeter, Do
; vWf Howerhill, and many of the inte
! rior towns, and at Charlestown, In the
' vicinity of Boston, but we have not
heard of its being experienced in Bos

when going out of Lisbon $ and shews
no great jlelay in changing his position
(as t^e dv>^e of darlings would say) for
a more favorable situation. ( In all pro
bability, therefore, though we have no
doubt of the gallantry of the British
troops on the occasion, by the expiration
of a fortnight from the. da*e of his
lordship’s letter, the whole British ar
my, with all that belongs to them (and
a little besides,) were out of the reach
of_the French cannon on board their

sooner they may have..ended their
fruitless expedition among a thankless
