Mr. king, our mioifter at the court
of London, according to his private
intimations of last year, may be ex
pe&ed to return here in April dr May,
On Saturday arrived at this city,
in the brig Syren, captain John Pat
terson from Leghorn, Robert Morris,
and Shandy Yard, late mate and stew
ard of the brig Franklin, captain An,
drew Morris, which was captured on
the 17th of June last, and carried in#
to Tripoli. They inform that they
were liberated on the z<ft September
last by the interference of the Dey of
Algiers ; that they were five in num
ber, four were left at Algiers the aiff
October, and captain Morris remains
:,„ house of Mr. Obrien, Amer,
ican consul. *
Thecivil obligations under which
. our country is bound to Mr. Jeffef
fon,/entitles him to our highest hon
ours. To vindicate his character
fnould be our delight. To give him
support should be our ambition- >
To secure success to the principles
of his administration should be our
patriotism. Light is bursting from
the clouds which have been cast a
round him. Interest with her nu.
merous votaries can repose on his
.favor. —Liberty acknowledges him
frerTon, and Hope with all her chil
dren approaches to bless him. Let
his name be precious on our lips, &
gratitude rule in our hearts. Let
confidence inspire our joys, & while
industry, and all the virtues provide
all we love, let us approach heaven;
^ with reverence, to acknowledge that
he gave us a Jefferfon, the guardian
of our freedom, and the faviour of
his country.
It is said the sixteen ex Judges of
midnight creation,who were to extin.
gu;fh the last expiring groan of Re.
publicanifm ; these sixteen Judges, it
is said are making regular charges a
gainst the United States for their fa#
laries, on an assurance that they shall
be all paid, as well as reinstated in
office, when Mr. Jefferfon is turned
out % Here then lies the secret cause
of the opposition of these anti repub
lican Judges to all the wholesome
measures of the present Government.
[Patriot.
The ex judges, fays the Baltimore
Patriot, are nobly disposed to become
placemen and pensioners; and would
make a grand corps de referwe had
King John succeeded in fuhftjtut.
ing the crown for the cap of liberty.
If the claims of the disbanded
judges of the late Federal Circuit
Courts, to compensation for services
not performed, had been submitted,
by Congress, to a tribunal of brother
judges ; certainly the equal claims of
the disbanded offices and soldiers
ofthe late army, ought to be submit
ted to the determination of a court
martial.
President Jefferson isaregu
;lar attendant on public worship.-—-
He contributes largely £ (probably
more so than any citizen of Massachu
setts) to the support of it. In his mes.
sages he recommends , religion; ex
presses a ferife of dependence on the
Supreme Being for all our blessings ;
acknowledges our consequent obliga
ions, and inculcates the duty of grati.
^de for divine favors. For which
>f all these things do our political
i^to condemn him ?

such a weak and wiched scene ofcofc
ruptioD. It is an inftrudive fubje& ;
and ought not to be easily forgotten
or forgiven. Mr. Paine's com

political hiftory, carry ibrefiftable
conviction to every candid mind.
# The candid of all parties ought to

Horrible Catastrophe!

New-York fa?u 31. On Thurs
day afternoon about 3 o'clotk a girl
apparently not more than 15 years of
age, was observed coming out of the
house of Mr. James Tripp, No. 76
? Pearl Greet, with a bundle under her
arm. Being interrogated by one of
the family as to her bufmefs there,
she enquired for a captain Smith, to
whom she said she had bro) home
some linen from the washerwoman ;
and being answered that no such per
lon lived there or in the neighbor
hood, she went away, her youth and
artless demeanor preventing any sus
picion of her real chara&er. . Soon
afterwards, some of the family hav#
ing occasion to go up stairs, discover
ed that two martain muffs and tippets,
two lead colored muslin gowns, one
white muslin do. two dark calico do.
two white dimity petticoats, one pair
of black moroco flippers, one pair of
lead colored cotton gloves, one
white muslin handkerchief, and one
checked cotton do. were miffing.—
§ft is supposed that the door of the
house being left a jar, the girl had
seized the opportunity of flipping up
stairs unperceived, and effetjed the
the robbery. Crimes of this nature
are becoming very general amongst
us; it behoves our citizens to be
more than usually cautious and vigi
' lant. I 3
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.
#;% ^ wetoe informed, by a
gentleman who received it from Mr.
j firft flam,, of them ^knocked
down, but soon recovered and went
to work, when the second again llru&
] two of them, let their clothes on fire,
and killed the man aloft. It is we
believe, almost without precedent,
that in neither of these instances was
the lightning accompained with thun
der. A strong fulphurdus smell was
perceived to lucceed the flames. The
poorman who was struck dead aloft
was caught by the rigging, and pre
vented from falling till he was let
down afterwards by a rope.
The thunder storm > of Thursday
last was li;verely felt at the Hook and
the Narrows. Most of the flipping
in th^ bay experienced more or less
damage, and some lives loft. The
fch'r Paragon bound to St. Croix
was struck and one man killed, anoth.
et was foTbadly wounded that his life
';ist ctefpaired of. The Engliffi ship
, Medway, for Madeira, and the pfa
. bo^fyly ffes, were also struck, and
one man stunned on tyard of each.J
A letter from New Bruhfwick, da-I
ted at 3 o'clock on Thursday last,
fays, ^ This day at 2 o'clock we had
ia violent florin, of raid, hail, and

ning, which struck the Ifeepte ofthe
Episcopal Church ; itisflill burning.:
The wind is violent from the weft,'

I Baltimore Jan 31. On Tuefday
; evening las lthe following unfortu
! nate circumstance, we are informed,
took place in a public hopfe at Alex
landria:1 andria: A Mr. fames Dillion, from'
'Frederickfburg, having made too
I free with wine after dinner, was pre
I vaihd upon by some young gentle-
I men to mount upon a chair and de.
Iliver his feotirinents upon the Miffif.
;fippi business. In the height of his
harraugue, some one pulled the chair
! from under him, and threw him with
I his head against a table, which cut it
• considerably and put a period to his
exiftehce in 16'hours. f
There are counterfeit dollars in
circulation, done in imitation of the
Spanish dollar of the impression of
' 1799. The infeription, on both sides
i, very well imitated, but the head &
arms are not so delicately executed
as they are in the genuine dollars—
IThe most striking difference between
I the two, is in the words PLUS VL
TRA, on the labels intwined round
I the Columns- On the counterfeit the
S is so rudely executed as to relemble
Z, and is rather larger than the letters
' PLU, and in the word VLTRA the
, V is larger and L is considerably
' smaller and more faint than letters

Il appears from the second census
ofthe inhabitants of the United States
that in the year 1800, when the enu
meration was made, the population
of the Weftern Country, comprehend
ing the states of Kentucky, Tennessee
and OHio; the wteftern counties of
Virginia and Pennsylvania, and the '
^Miffifippi and Indiana Territories,
amounted to upwards of fix hundred
thousand fouls. From jndifputable
authority it is stated, that no less than -
250 fail of vessels entered at the port
of New Orlens within the last year.
The attempts of the Feeleralffis to
plunge us into hoftiliries, by seizing
New. Orleans, instead of negociating
on that fubjeQ, confirms the opinion
ofthe Republicans, that federal policy
naturally leads to war, debt and taxa
tion. The fuperior # wifdom of the
Republican tyftem, in these refpe&s,
becomes every day more manifeft and
inconteftible. The friends of peace
and plenty must rejoice in its preva
lence.
Thi beneficial effeas of the Re
publican fyffem, in preserving peace,
promting liberty, abolishing unnecef.
fary offices, disbanding useless troops,
diminifliing burthenfome taxes, and
yet finking instead of fuelling the
public debt; begin to be so viable
and undeniable, as to extort compli.
ments from many, who have hereto
fore opposed the present administra
tion. This fad is observable in al.
most every circle of conversation ;
and the reader has probably notic
ed it.
