From late London Papers.
On the 14th of August, one of the performers at the Haymarket Theatre, London, announced that the force of "The Tailors," would be performed on the following night, among other entertainments, for his benefit. In the course of the day many letters were received, which were written in a very threatening style, and declared that 20,000 Tailors would be ready to resent the affront if the play was attempted to be performed. On the night following, however, the Theatre was opened as usual, and at the proper time, the performers were about to commence the piece, when they were assailed by the knights of the needle, who pelted them from the stage, with scissors, thimbles, &c. and made all kinds of noises. Twelve soldiers were called in, and the riot was suppressed. 32 persons were in prison, 12 bound over for trial.
The following extract of a letter from Petersburg, relative to the Russian embassy to China, has been published in a foreign journal: "Count Potocki, known by his historical labours, is at the head the embassy; and is accompanied, as zoologist, or naturalist, by Adams, who had before travelled with Count Musin Puskin to Mount Caucasus, as botanist, physician, and entomologist; Redewiky, formerly botanist to Count Alxis Razumofsky; by Paufer as mineralogist and geologist by Schubert, as astronomer, and by Claproth, Junior, Philologist. The literati, with their assistants, painters, artists, artificers, a detachment of fifty men as a guard, set out this day, the 14th of May; but the Ambassador himself will not set out till some time after. Their route lies through Moscow, Nischney, Novogorod, Kazan, Akatrinenburg, to the mouth of Tobolsk, to Omsk, Koywan, Irkutsk, as far as Kyachte, the Russian State on the border of Chinese Tartary. Here they are to wait for the Ambassador, and the Chinese Tadschins, who are to escort the Russian embassy, now consisting of more than one hundred men, through the desert of Yopi, and Kellow Mongolia. It is to be wished that the researches of these naturalists, from whose zeal and knowledge much may be expected, should be the less limited during their progress through the country of the Mongols and the desert, as on the other side of the wall the jealousy of the Chinese will throw but two many obstacles in their way. May the sciences derive as much advantage from this expedition, as they have from Missions of the Russian Government! I write this on the day when the worthy literati depart and every one of your readers will join me in my hearty wish they may return safe and loaded with the most precious literary spoil!
Several severe shocks of an earthquake were felt at Naples about the 27th of July. Besides the place of the Duke of Carigliano under the ruins of which several persons have perished, those of the Prince del Severo of the Duke of Sangro, the Duke of Cassano-Serra, of the Duke de Monteleone, &c. &c. are principally destroyed. The news which arrived from the provinces was still more alarming, announces more considerable damage. From Cistern to Naples nothing is to be seen but ruins. Sainte-Marie de-Capone, a city of 15,000 souls, is at present entirely uninhabitable. Vesuvius, which for a few days emitted a great deal of smoke, and seemed to indicate that a great eruption was near taking place, all on a sudden, ceased and assumed a most alarming tranquillity. All the people lie in the open air. The court inhabits the little houses built on purpose for earthquakes. All Naples was in fright, and every thing bore the image of ruin and destruction. In the day processions of all sorts preambulate the streets.
Letters of a recent date have been received at Leghorn from Algiers. They announce that the Dey has shut himself up in an apartment of his palace, which has double iron doors; he has placed on its walls 30 pieces of cannon, and his guard, of 3000 men, is continually on duty. The rebellious mountaineers were stationed before the city.
The Dome of the Church at Trent, in which the celebrated Council was held, fell in on the 2d of July, and three persons were killed.
M. Proust, the celebrated chemist at Madrid, has discovered in Spain, the earth of which the floating bricks were made by the antients.
Bonaparte's choosing the commencement of harvest for his invasion, seems to indicate a desire of knowing whether we are as great adepts at reaping as he has often known us to be at threshing.
Among the new publications, we see "An abridgement of the history of New-England, for the use of young persons, by Hannah Adams." Printed in Boston for the author. The industry and success of this worthy woman in compiling useful works for common readers, entitle her to the attention of those who are desirous of patronising useful works. We wish that she might be well rewarded for her faithful labors. Her history of New-England is well known, as is her history of all religions, of which she has given a new edition.— Register.

QUEBEC, AUG. 17.
A Singular Suicide. —The following is an instance of a deliberate act of desperation as we recollect to have met with:—On Wednesday the 7th inst. a laborer of the name of Robitaille of this city, borrowed a gun for the purpose as he said, of killing a fox; when he went and dug a grave on the plains, near Wolfe's Cove, made his coffin, placed the coffin in the grave, and himself in the coffin; where he contrived, by fixing the muzzle to his breast, to shoot himself. It was not till some days after that he was found dead in the situation described. It is said that he was subject to fits of lunacy.
NATCHES, SEPT. 6, 1805.
A daring outrage, we learn, has been committed by a party of armed Spaniards, who entered the neighborhood of Pinckneyville, on Monday night last, and forcibly carried off the two Messrs. Kempers. Depositions respecting this event are taken for the information of the executive. A person has also been driven by them from the mouth of Rayan Sarah. The Spaniards are likely to become troublesome neighbors.
DOVER, OCT. 3, 1805.
Federalism has again triumphed in Delaware. A few years since a democrat presided over her government; and Rodney misrepresented her in Congress. But the days of delusion are passing away; and the people, awake, and active, are determined to entrust the administration of their State and Federal Constitutions, to those only who are Friends to them.
The Hon. James M. Broom, is elected Representative to the 9th Congress; by a majority of 328.
The Senate. —Hon. George Cummings, James Sykes, George Trukey, George Truitt, Daniel Rogers, Charles Draper, Caleb Rodney, Federalists.—Thomas Fitzgerald, John May, and Levy Boulden,—Democrats.
House of Representatives. —Messrs. Henry Mollerton, Thomas Clayton, John Marim, William Warner, Robert Cook, William Hughlett, James R. Ralston, Thomas Cooper, Jesse Green, George Walker, Isaac Marshall, Edward Dingle, jun. Thomas Laws, Joshua Burton, Federalists.—Thomas Perkins, Isaac H. Starr, Andrew Reynolds, George Gillaspie, John Bird, William Hassett, and John Merritt,—Democrats. The Senate of Delaware is composed of nine members; the House of 27.—The Governor holds his office three years.—He was chosen last year, and is a Federalist.
WASHINGTON, OCT. 5.
Mammoth Tree. —This remarkable tree stands in the town of Jefferson, Cayuga county, on the land of John Swartwout, Marshal of the District of New-York. It measures 47 and a half feet in circumference, and contains a hollow in which at least 17 men can march and stand in a circle. This enormous production of nature is said to be button wood, and is supposed to have been the habitation of Indians and hunters a number of years ago. Being at first a natural hollow, the inside is probably some what improved by art, having one side open as a door; the largeness of the hollow is astonishing, making quite a large and commodious apartment. What renders this tree the more singular is, that it is still green and thrifty, and may continue growing larger for a number of years.
Jefferson, [Cayuga county] Sept. 6.
To all who disbelieve.—Be it known, that we the subscribers, instigated by curiosity, have this day seen a tree in our above town, on the Montezuma Estate, which measured 47 1-2 feet in circumference, two feet above the surface of the earth. This tree contained a hollow, into which we all walked, and stood in a circle as far round as our number extended; the circle being incomplete by at least six men. On exact measurement we found the diameter, of the hollow on the surface to be upwards of 15 feet.

YORK (Pennsylvania,) SEPT. 26.
Thursday last being the day appointed for
the execution of Charles Cunningham, who had been found guilty of the murder of Joseph Rotchrock, at the last court; a large multitude of people assembled at an early hour, so that the street and road leading from the prison to the commons were nearly filled. About 11 o'clock the criminal was taken from the jail and walked to the place of execution, accompanied and supported by the Rev. Messrs. Jacob Goering and Robert Cathcart, who had constantly attended him since the time of his condemnation. It was with difficulty that a passage was opened and order preserved by several companies of militia and infantry who attended on the occasion. But neither this nor any circumstance in the least attracted the attention of the criminal, whose shot's seemed wholly fixed on himself, earnestly imploring the pardon of his sins, Salvation through the Redeemer, and strength from God to support him in his last trying hours. Soon after arriving at the place of execution, he addressed the surrounding spectators, and earnestly advised them against the commission of different crimes, and especially those of which he himself had been guilty, viz. gaming, stealing, lying, swearing, Sabbath breaking, and particularly drunkenness, which had brought him to this disgraceful end. He acknowledged the justice of his sentence, declared his being in peace with all men, expressed his hope of Salvation and earnestly solicited the prayers of all present. Two suitable addresses were delivered to the multitude, one by Mr. Cathcart in English, the other by Mr. Goering in German. Each of them also prayed in their respective languages. The criminal said the Lord's prayer in a very fervent manner, and after using these words, "Lord Jesus receive my Soul," which had been previously fixed on as the signal of execution, he was launched into eternity and seemed to die without much struggle. He was only in the 19th year of his age.
NEWARK: OCT. 8.
Execution. —On Friday last, Henry Lawrence, a mulatto man, was executed for poisoning his wife. Four companies of militia were paraded, and every ceremony was used which was suited to the awful occasion, and calculated to make a deep and useful impression on the numerous spectators. Lawrence confessed the commission of the crime with which he was charged, stating that he did not succeed till after three attempts. He was prompted to the atrocious deed by jealousy, and the refusal of his wife to be reconciled to him.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 10.
Election. —It is said that the lengths to which the Snyderites went in making bets, in consequence of Duane's publishing such plausible accounts of expected majorities, have been beyond all example. Many have reduced themselves to beggary, and others smart severely under losses. But nothing could induce them to disbelieve Duane—and nothing has opened their eyes to his falsehoods so much, as being made to feel the effects of their delusion. They will know how to place dependence on him hereafter, having bought their experience at a very high price.
BUCKSTOWN (Maine) OCT. 10.
Severe Storm. —On Thursday last was experienced in this and the neighbouring towns, as severe a Tornado, as has been known, since this Country was first settled. On the morning of the same day it began to rain; the wind [N. E.] increased until about 12 o'clock, when it blew a hurricane. In its course it carried with it almost every thing that lay exposed to its ravages. Several Houses and Barns in this neighbourhood were very much damaged. Trees were torn up by their roots, and fences blown to pieces. In fact our Country has felt, in general, the effects of as severe a storm, as was experienced in the neighbourhood of Boston, in the last year. We understand that the storm further Eastward, was more severely felt, than at this place.
From Blue-Hill, Oct. 8.
"On the third inst. a heavy gale was experienced in this and the neighbourhood; the wind in the former part of the day blew very fresh, and veering to the southward, increased in violence, till about noon. when it blew a hurricane, attended with heavy rain. One old barn, a frame of a school-house, and of a dwelling-house, were blown down, several windows blown in, many panes of glass broken, and several hundred rods of fence levelled with the ground. The havoc in the woodlands, was very great: in some places, for several acres together, the heavy wood generally, over the town forests are much thinned.—A new Schooner, lying at a Wharf in the Bay, was forced from it, drawing out the ring-bolts by which it was confined, but not much damaged."
From Sedgwick, we learn, that two or three persons in that town were very much
hurt; one, a Mr. Byard, so that fears are entertained, whether he will recover.
In the towns of Casine & Penobscot, we have been informed, that 3 houses has been unroofed, and seven barns blown entirely to pieces, and many hundred feet of fencing blown down, together with considerable woods.
In Orland, two barns were also destroyed, and one unroofed.
In this town, a new house belonging to Messrs. Colby & Bowles, was removed from its foundation, and received considerable damage; in the back settlement, the woodland has been greatly injured.
Wortland,
MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1805.
By capt. Coombs of the Aurora, who arrived at this port, on Saturday last, in 36 days from Bourdeaux, we learn that it was the general opinion, when he left there, that war between France and Austria, would be declared in the course of a few days. A great stagnation of business prevailed, in consequence of the increasing prospect of the commencement of hostilities upon the continent.
PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION,
Which has so much agitated the public attention, has terminated in the re-election of McKean, by a large majority, to the great mortification of Paddy Duane, who considers the election as the "Triumph of Federalism." He says "It has placed Federalism above Democratic Republicanism in the First District."
THE FEVER.
The last Newyork and Philadelphia papers, communicate the pleasing information that the fever is on the rapid decline—the inhabitants returning: and that business will shortly resume its usual course.
BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.
Thursday last being the Anniversary of the establishment of the Society; in the evening an elegant and appropriate discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Kellogg, and several pieces of music performed in a superior style; after which, a collection of 218 Dollars was made, to aid the funds of the Institution.
MILITARY.
ON Tuesday last, Col. Merrill's Regiment, consisting of two companies of Light Infantry commanded by Captains Bradish and Waterhouse; and eleven companies of Infantry, commanded by Captains Hatch, Stephenson, Goddard, R. Riley, H. Riley, and Washburn, of this town—Captain Huston, Small, and March, of Falmouth, and Captain Skillen and Jordan from Cape-Elizabeth, paraded upon Fort Hill in this town, where they were joined by the Artillery Company under the command of Capt. Hopkins.—The Regiment being divided into two battalions, under the command of Majors Gage, and Hobbs, was inspected by Brigade Major Day, and reviewed by Brigadier Gen. Allen. After which the whole marched through town and performed a variety of evolutions and firings, in a style which reflected much honor upon Officers and Soldiers.
The Officers of the Regiment partook of an elegant entertainment provided to which were invited Brig. Gen. Allen, Commodore Preble, and Major Gen. Nathaniel Goodwin. After the cloth was removed the following toasts were drank:
 1. The United States of America—May they never want the influence of a Washington to unite them, nor Troops to defend their Liberties.  2. The President of the United States.  3. The Militia of the Union—Established not to subvert, but to defend our rights.  4. His Excellency the Commander in Chief—May his example be followed by every true American.  5. The memory of our brave friends who have fallen in defence of the rights of their country.  6. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts—Firm, Ready and energetic.  7.

Hancock, Adams and Warren—The first to assert and defend our rights, may they be held in remembrance to long as Bunker's-Hill shall endure.  12. Maj. Gen. Ichabod Goodwin, and all other absent Officers of the sixth Division.  13. The Navy—Respected in its infancy, may it be unquarrelsome in riper years.  14. Our brave Countryman, Gen. Eaton.  15. Commerce and Agriculture—May the former be protected abroad, and the latter encouraged at home.  16. Capt. Bainbridge, Officers and Crew of the late Frigate Philadelphia—A hearty welcome to the shores of America.  17. The American Fair—May every Soldier be zealous to defend them, respect their virtues, and receive their love. 
The Non-Commissioned Officers, partook of an elegant Supper at the Portland Coffee House, and a number of pertinent and appropriate Toads were given.
ROBBERY.
We learn the Mail Stage was robbed on Tuesday night last between Newburyport and Portsmouth—Two trunks were taken from behind (one belonging to Mr. Wadsworth, midshipman, the other to a lady of this town) Mr. W's trunk was found in a field in Salisbury on Wednesday having been broken open and rifled—the one still missing, contained clothing, a small sum of money and sundry bills of Goods.

The 28th of November next, has been appointed as Thanksgiving day in New Hampshire.

At each of the above Installations the Hon. Woodbury Storer presided as District Grand Master. The ceremonies were performed with much decorum, and in a very interesting and solemn manner. The audiences were numerous, and gave ample testimony, that they were highly gratified at the solemn transactions they witnessed. At Bath and Topsham the proceedings were accompanied by a band of Music consisting of a number of young gentlemen in that vicinity, who added much to the pleasures enjoyed.
On the 10th inst, Forefathers-Rock Lodge was consecrated, and its Officers installed in antient and ample form, at Plymouth. The ceremonies of consecration were performed in the Lodge Room; after which a procession moved to the old Meeting-house, where a judicious discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Waterman, of Barnstable; and a Charge from the M. W. Grand Master Thomas.—The exercises were interspersed with excellent vocal and instrumental music. The fraternity dined together in their Hall; and in the evening there was a splendid Ball, which was numerously attended. Cent.
