On Thursday lall, water was publicly
raised in this town to the perpendicular
height of 38 feet, by means of a machine
.newly ihvented by Mr. Barnabas Lar.gdon.
Tubes were unfortunately wanting to make
an experiment to a greater height. It is
»ot known that any machine heretofore
conflrutted has ever raised water, by the
prelTure of the atmofphers, to a greater
height than thirty four feet We under
Hand th;\t Mr. Langdon has applied far a
patent, for securing to him the benefit of.fo
ufeful an invention. The small compass
of the machinery, the facility of its opera
tion, and the height to which it may raise
water, seem strongly to recommend it for
drawing water, in tubes under grounds, for
family use.
The gentleman from New-York, who in
cautiously expreflVd a conjeftnre at Albany,
that the pamphlet was treacherously made
pubtis, on a review of circumftauces, is con
vinced that the tonje&ure was premature
and groundlcft.
It is a duty which the Edit&r at the (tin?
time owes to hiinfclf, to declare, that after
a particular invelligation ofthecircinnttdticrs
by Mr. Hamilton, he has confefltd himfelf
to be fatisfied that no blame reds with either
of the pubiilT%«rs of his iett'ir on account
of the appearance of the extrafts in tlie

RALEIGH, November 18.
In a late miscellany, cftndu&ed by a
grtod man, and a profound scholar, the
old efiablijhed Englilh reviews are cal
led with great justice, " admirable lite
rary almanacks, conden/lng into the nar
rowest compal's much curious, important,
and often original information."
A gentleman lately boafling in London
of the quitlcnefs of his fight, said by way of
confirming his remark " that he saw, at that
moment a mouse on the top of the monument."
" I canivt fay I fee it," replied a sneering
and incredulous friend, " but I plainly bear
it run,''
Religious iita-Jfcrcuce, it has been said,
is the fatal charaeteriftic of the present
age. Tt may be added, that political
apathy, is th? cardinal vice, in this coun
try, of those, who profefs tliemfelves
auxiliaries to government
The resignation of Olivkr Wolcott,
Esq. is now officially announced. It appears,
th .t this grutlem'tn, ag-.iintt whom uocharge
of has been urged, except by
ths Jacobir.s, foes to every thing virtu
ous, requeds that nn enquiry may be made
into his offici..l conduit. "l*his is highly Ivi.
nourable to the Seer.t-iry ; but we deem the
requefl fup*i fluoui>, as 110 American ev?r en
tertained an idea of iwvproper condntl in his
official capacity. Should Coiigtefs think
proper to invrlligate the l\ibjcd\, we do not
doubt, but even the Demo's in that body will
obj<-<3 to it, as all their falfe accufatipns a
gamfl bin), will br found to have protceaed
from the ntoll baf- motives.

this according, to Boileau, is no vete, _at
all, at all—Another gentleman to fill ftp
vacancies, fays,. Carolina is ours, but
they wont vote for little Aaron, and " I
hate compromise as much as you do,"' —
A third gentleman, for they are all gen
tlemen, fays, he wont think so much of
Pennsylvania Republicariifm, as he has
done; if the House of Representatives
goes below ten and Jive, yet he hates
compromise; another finds that the bu
siness has not gone right in Carolina,
for Gen. Hamilton has had great weight
in the South, and there is a prospect of
the e'eftion of General Pinckney to the
Vice-Prelidency Thus the Jacobins
proceed—they were going, up, up, up,
but now they go down, down, doVnj
down, a.
The Jacobins being now convinced
that Mr. Jefferfon cannot be Prelident,
ire bending their whole force to divill—
on of their lik&ors " iince we cant have-
Jeifcrfon and Burr," fay they, we must
at all evehts keep out Pinckney, we will
therefore, try to compromise with, and
divide the Elc£to;s, and will vote for
Adams and Jefferfon ; but it is too late
; —The game is up, and the people of
America arc to be blefled with two ge
nuine Americans, as their Rulers, John
Adams, and Charles C. Pinckney.
Ihe Editor of the Aurora in his low
and vulgar fcoffing at the President's
Speech to both Houses of Congress fays
" the State of the ntgociation on the
6th article, by Mr. Sitgre<ivcs> we are
told not so much about as we knew be
fore. For wo are not alarmed about
the abrupt refufal to hear Mr. Sitgreaves
our supernumerary Ambffador &c."
It is painful to notice such base fabrica
tions, but having seen the fame thing
repeatedly aflerted in that paper, it seems
proper to state, that the whole i« untrue,
without foundation, cau'fe or pretext—
this we have from a source rot to be
questioned.

SIR,
I deem It proper through you to
inform the House of Keprefenuuves, that
1 have obtained the permission of the Presi
dent of the United States, to resign the
office of Secreiaiy of the Fre a fury, at the
close of the prsfe'nt year.
I indulge a hope, that I may without pre
sumption declare, that the difTeient offices
with which 1 have been entrulled since the
effablißtqi'rivt of this Department, have been
executed according to my belt skill ;md
judgement, with a conscientious regard to
the rights of the public and of individuals,
and under an impressive sense of responsibi
lity to tne government—ln conformity
with thel'e profeffions, I now freely submit
the whole of my conduci to any investiga -
tion which the House of Rrprefentatives
may be pleased to inltitute.
1 cannot omit this- only opportunity
which may ever be afforded, of exprefling
the fmcere sentiments of gratitude, wliieh i
now feel and fhatl ever cultivate for the
many proofs of confidence ind indulgence
which I have experienced in the cdurfe of
my official communications V'(h the I cgi
flature at the fame time I reqtieff, that
if the liberty I have now taken, ts» invite
their attention to a matter of perfmal con
cern, should be deemed in a<iy degree un
fuitabla, the error mav be attributed to a
just and reasonable desire, 'hat my conduct
may, on propef evidence, appear to have
tjie'r approbation.
I have the honour to be,
With perfefteflcem and deference,
'
Your most obedient servant,
(Signed)

" I have lately travelled through South-

of General Pihckney and Mr. Jefferfoti ;but
I am pretty coufident such a vote will not

" This state will certainly vote for Mr.
Adams and General Plnckuey. Xl* elec

than usual. Major Butler is not eleded.
Lowndes, who is flrongly federal, is eletted
