THE subscriber do hereby warn every person against buying a certain parcel of land lying in Sandbornton, in the county of Strafford, in the State of New-Hampshire, being part of lot No. 63 in the first division of lots, containing fifty acres and bounded as follows, viz. beginning at the northerly end of said lot, thence running southerly carrying the whole width of said lot, so far as will contain fifty acres, of which said premises I gave a warrantee deed to Wells Burbank, then of Sandbornton aforesaid, and took back a mortgage deed of two thirds of said land with the buildings thereon, from said Burbank—some time after the said Burbank sold said land to Ebenezer Clark, of Sandbornton aforesaid—about that time said Clark gave Thomas Thomson, Esq. of Newfalisbury, a mortgage deed of said land; both Clark and Thomson knowing that I had a mortgage deed of said land, and Clark agreed to take up Burbank's notes given, and give me his own notes; after the writings with said Burbank were made, he told me a number of times of his own accord, that he was going to do it, but has not yet done it, telling me that there were no witnesses to my deed—since that I have searched and find it to be so, although witnesses were carried on for that purpose, having other writings to execute, it was overlooked, but notwithstanding unless I have pay for my land, I shall hold it if I am able, and therefore do warn every person from buying under either of the above named persons, unless they mean to purchase a law suit.

Naval Action.
THE particulars of the gallant action fought off Rochefort, by the Amelia frigate, Captain Herbert, mentioned in our paper of yesterday, are as follows:—On the 22d of August, she was ordered in by signal from the Impetueux, of 84 guns, Commodore Sir E. Pellew, Bart. to reconnoitre the enemy's force in Rochefort. On her nearing the port, she observed two frigates and a schooner standing out towards her; one La Meduse, of 50 guns, and the other a 44 gun frigate. Capt. Herbert, immediately bore down, and brought them to action in the most gallant style. In a short time the cidevant Ambuscade, of 32 guns, came out to join her consorts, but the fire from the Amelia, was so well kept up, that the French Squadron bore away for port. The Amelia stood after them, and actually lay to for them off the harbour. The shore was lined with thousands of spectators, who witnessed the retreat of their frigates covered with glory. The Amelia sustained but little damage, and having made her observations, returned to the British Squadron.
SEPT. 19.
When the last post left Vienna the State Printing Office was on the eve of publishing an Address and Admonition to the inhabitants of Vienna, exhorting them to behave quietly on the arrival of the new French Ambassador and not to molest in any manner, or offend by words or gestures, the Ambassador himself, or any person belonging to his Suite, under pain of being dealt with as disturbers of the public tranquility. The inhabitants of Vienna, are also desired, in the same paper, not to oppose the affixing of the Arms of the French Republic, if it should take place.

ACT OF THE GOVERNMENT. The Consuls have decreed that there shall be established, an eighth Minister, by the name of the Minister of the Public Treasury.

Porto Ferrajo, continues to hold out with unexampled bravery—notwithstanding the vigorous and repeated efforts of the French to storm it. The English afford them all the assistance in their power by sea. A few days since four English frigates landed some troops in the neighbourhood of that place, but were immediately attacked and forced to re-embark.
Two French frigates which had left Leghorn with troops, ammunition, &c. to reinforce the besieging corps, were chased on shore by two English men of war, and one of them captured—the other was rendered totally useless. Several transports laden with troops from Ancona, have been captured; and the English corvette of 20
guns taken by the French some time since has been retaken.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 26.

FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.
The United States Schooner Enterprize, commanded by the gallant Sterrett, arrived yesterday, from a cruise in the Mediterranean. Capt. S. touched at Gibraltar on the 8th October, but having been ordered by Commodore Dale to America, with dispatches, he failed immediately without going ashore.
The accounts which we have heard of the capture of a Tripoline corsair by the Enterprize, have been pretty accurately stated, and the particulars may be expected in a day or two from the navy department, of an action the most desultory and obstinate that has occurred these many years. The corsair was a Greek built ship, of about 250 tons, 14 guns, and 85 men. After fighting very desperately for nearly two hours, she hauled down her colors; and the men of the Enterprize left their guns and gave three cheers for the victory. At this moment the pirate poured in a broadside, up with his colors, and renewed the combat with fresh vigor, continually attempting to board, and the crew brandishing their sabres glittering in the sun, shewed all the frantic fury of cannibals.—Overcome, however, by the superior prowess, and skill of the brave and persevering crew of the Enterprize, the Barbarian struck again. Capt. S. then ordered her under her quarter, keeping his men to their guns. As soon as they had gained the position ordered, they opened a whole broadside again into the Enterprize, hoisted their bloody flag a second time, and attempted to board.—Fight on, was then the cry on board the Schooner, and sink the perfidious villains to the bottom! Every nerve was strained to get a permanent victory; and Capt. Sterrett's superior skill in the management of his vessel enabling him to rake her incessantly fore and aft, and make great havoc and devastation on board his antagonist, the issue was certain. Her mizen mast was carried by the wounds it received, sixteen or eighteen shot between wind and water opened her sides for the sea to pour in at, and fifty men killed and wounded strewed her decks. Her treacherous commander seeing their total destruction or surrender inevitable, implored for quarters; and bending in a supplicating posture over the waste of his vessel, threw his colors with his own hands into the sea, to convince his opponents that they should not be hoisted again. Capt. Sterrett, touched with the humanity of a brave conqueror, notwithstanding their infamous behavior, stopped the effusion of blood; but as his instructions would not permit him to make prize of her, he ordered them to throw every gun, sword, pistol, their ammunition, and every thing which had the appearance of an implement of war, into the sea, and then bid them to go about their business, and tell their countrymen the treatment they might expect to receive from a nation determined to pay their tribute to such villains in powder and ball.
The Enterprize, during the whole affair, which lasted about three hours, lost not a man.
The corsair fell in with Commodore Dale in his way to Tripoli, and told him that it was a French ship of war which had used him in so rough and uncouth a manner, and begged a few articles which he stood in need of.
An officer of the Enterprize, has politely favored the editors of the Federal Gazette with the following articles:
August 1, 1801, off Malta, fell in with and captured a Tripoline corsair, (a ship) mounting 14 guns, and 85 men, after an obstinate engagement of three hours.
August 5, an insurrection took place at Tripoli, amongst the principal inhabitants, in consequence of a report that the admiral was captured by an American vessel—but by the policy of the Bashaw, it at length subsided.
The Tripoline cruisers are still at Gibraltar, and nearly deserted by their crews: the few that remain are re-
duced to the necessity of carrying burdens to obtain a wretched subsistence. The admiral left Gibraltar in an English convoy for Malta, and thereby escaped the vigilance of our vessels.
The report stated in the American papers, of the disaffection of the Maltese towards the English, is erroneous; they appear perfectly satisfied with their present situation.
Alexandria had not fallen; and, having procured a supply of water, was expected to make an obstinate resistance.
The Spanish gun-boats at Algeciras are daily carrying in our vessels, 15 of which lay there, but being under quarantine, while at that place, could not procure a list of their names. The Spanish government have issued orders to their gun-boats to molest no vessel bound to Gibraltar, bringing supplies for the American Squadron. The report of the Spaniards making preparations for an attack on Gibraltar, is without foundation. The frigate President, was at Gibraltar, and the other frigates cruising in the Mediterranean; but however expected in.
The following are the particulars of an insurrection that happened at Algiers about the 18th September, as stated by consul O'Brien:—When the Dey was in his mosque at prayers with his aids, 10 Turks entered the palace armed, took possession of his seat, hauled down his colors, secured the palace doors, hoisted a flag for a new Dey, and, from the windows above, offered a reward of 10,000 sequins to any person who would take his life. As he could not come out of the door of the mosque, on account of its being situated under the windows of the palace, and the Turks within having it in their power to fire upon them, they cut a passage through the back of the building, and entering the palace attacked the insurgents, seven of whom made their escape, the other three fought until two of them, overcome by loss of blood, were compelled to surrender. The other was cut to pieces in the Dey's seat, after usurping that post of honor for three hours. All, however, was quiet when we left there, the 22d September.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 18.
By several letters from the officers and crews of the American vessels detained at Algeciras, it appears, that these unfortunate men are treated by their unmanly victors, with more than savage brutality. We have now before us a letter from one of the crew of the ship Molly, of this port dated Oct. 20, which states "our captain, supercargo, mates and crew, without exception, have been plundered, and those who refused to strip have been mangled by the swords of the savages, the blood issuing at every stroke. The captain had a stab at him across the table, which had it reached him would have gone to his heart."
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Sept. 2, 1801.
In my last, I mentioned the ratification of our Treaty, and now, with pleasure inform you, that the tribunal of prizes have commenced hearing American causes. In three that have been decided, the property is ordered to be restored, and I doubt not, but the greater number, if not all, will be decided in the same way. There is neither interest nor damages allowed, nor need be looked for—nor compensation for pillage.
There is now some reason to believe, that appeals for captures in the West Indies, will be admitted in the tribunal of prizes: So that whatever cases you or your friends may have, I would recommend your preparing and sending over, with a full power of attorney; and by all means, let the sales of the property accompany it, and see that every piece is legalized by the tribunal that condemned it.
In many instances it will be better to sacrifice a part, in compounding with the captors, than to contend; but that you will take into consideration, in giving the power to act for you here.
NEW-YORK, November 16.
By an arrival from Hamburg we have papers to Sept. 30. The French Consuls have decreed that there shall be only one General Collector of the Duties of the Republic, and four Administrators. Mr. Collin has been appointed Collector.—Mr. Pinckney left the Hague for Madrid Sept. 25.—Messrs. Haerfotte, Bezier and Pyman, who composed the majority of the Directory, are now the rulers in Holland. The Directors, Emerius and Van Swinden, are the two who refused to participate in the late tyrannical proceedings.
The revenue cutter John Jay, was sold at auction yesterday for 7,400 dollars.—Mr. Crowninshield, of Salem, was the purchaser.
A shock of an earthquake has been felt at Philadelphia.
The French Council of Prizes have "acquitted" Capt. Smith and Russell, of Salem, and Trask, of Boston. Appeals from colonial admiralty decisions, "it is said," are to be allowed in this Court, and for property proved American, indemnity is to be given in public securities.

Mr. Pinckney, the American Minister to the Court of Madrid, left the Hague on the 25th of September, for the place of his destination.
At the close of the poll yesterday, for charter officers for the city and county of New-York, it appeared, that in the first, second, and third wards, the Federal ticket was successful; and that the democratic nomination succeeded in the 4th ward by a majority of 33, in the 5th by a majority of 6, in the 6th without opposition, and in the 7th by a majority of 237.
HARTFORD, Nov. 23.
Kentucky Revolutionized.
By sundry recent accounts from Kentucky, it appears that that State is now entirely freed from the shackles and chains of Government. Man is there no longer the slave of Laws, which he himself has not made—he makes a law on every occasion to suit himself. We trust the other States will soon experience the perfect work of Revolution, and under the reign of Philosophy itself, advance with rapid strides, to the perfect state of nature; when Government shall no longer controul the pure benevolence of men, and humble the just and noble independence which constitutes the real dignity of unsubjugated man. A few murders have happened between fathers and sons, and between brothers, and a few children have been roasted alive, but this can scarcely be regretted, because it must be expected when "infuriated man with agonizing spasms, is seeking through blood and slaughter his long lost liberty."
BOSTON, November 28.
The Eighth Congress of the United States will meet at Washington on the 7th of December next.
John Francis Mercer, Esq. is chosen Governor of Maryland, by the Legislature thereof.—He had 59 votes. Dr. James Murray (the federal Candidate) had 27.—These numbers shew the strength of the "sects" in the Legislature.
AMERICAN CHEESE IN ENGLAND!
Extract of a letter from a Physician of great eminence in London, to his friend near Boston.
"The two cheeses came safely to hand and were truly acceptable. At an entertainment, not long since, at my country residence at Grove-hill, which was very numerous, I could hardly convince some of my guests that the cheese was any other than English, until I shewed the mark on them of "CALLENDER'S CHEESE CELLAR, BOSTON." They all agreed that they would have done credit to the first dairies in England."
POLITICAL.
[The conduct and views of the modern Patriots of this country, the self styled "Friends of the People," have never been more justly delineated, than in the following sketch of the political character of the famous Wilkes. Our readers will readily make the application.]
From the BALANCE.
A modern Patriot dissected.
THE bulk of mankind, from the days of Adam to the present generation, have been easily duped by the crafty and designing. They have been beguiled by flattery, and gulled by empty professions. A man of fortune or of parts, however void of real merit, who would artfully flatter the people, has generally been rewarded with their confidence, and sometimes with their adoration. Such a successful adventurer for popular favor was John Wilkes. Few men in modern times have been so extensively celebrated as he was, for pure devotion to the interest of the people.
About thirty years ago, the name of Wilkes was famous, not only in Britain, but also throughout the British American colonies; inasmuch that pocket-handkerchief or snuff box was hardly saleable, unless it exhibited the patriotic motto of "Wilkes and Liberty."
I remember that about that time, I saw a little ragged boy standing by a liberty-pole, which had been erected on the memorable occasion of the American stamp act. As I was passing the pole, the little fellow observing me pulled off his old hat and threw it into the air, exclaiming with all the strength of his lungs, "Wilkes and Liberty—huzza." In those days, any man who should presume to have
questioned the patriotism of John Wilkes, might have incurred the danger of a broken head. And indeed I must confess that I myself partook of the general phrenzy, and in a measure idolized that renowned demagogue, that precious "Man of the People." Long ago I saw my error, and having had leisure and opportunity more fully to examine the merits of the political Dagon to which I once bowed the knee, I communicate to the public, in authentic documents, the result of this examination, as a useful lesson to all who have eyes to see, and ears to hear.
Mr. Gibbon, the celebrated historian, in the memoirs of his own life writes as follows:—"This day (Sept. 23, 1762) Col. Wilkes dined with us. He told us himself, that in this time of public dissension he was resolved to make his fortune. Upon this principle (to make his fortune) he has connected himself closely with Lord Temple and Mr. Pitt, and commenced a public adversary to Lord Bute, whom he abuses weekly in the North-Briton, and other political papers in which he is concerned."
This document, this confession to a bosom friend, develops the political character of Mr. Wilkes. His object was, to make his fortune. This it was that enkindled the ethereal fire of patriotism in his soul. This it was that directed his tongue and pen. His political career began with a warm and spirited attack upon the administration of Lord Bute. In that administration there were easily found objects enough for censure and invective; but in the mean time, if Wilkes could have had better prospects of gain or promotion, in writing for Bute than in writing against him, he doubtless would have supported that minister's measures; for his aim was, to make his fortune.
While Mr. Wilkes was vilifying the administration of government, he at the same time took a prudent care to flatter the people, and make the warmest professions of an attachment to them, and an entire devotion to their interests.
In the British gentleman's Magazine, for the year 1770, there is a copy of a letter of Mr. Wilkes, that was to be communicated to the citizens of London, he wrote as follows:—"I have, Sir, a real pleasure in finding out and following the opinion of the people. I will through life be faithful to their cause. I firmly and sincerely believe the voice of the people to be the voice of God. I will always to hear it clear and distinct. When I do, I will obey it as a divine call, with spirit and alacrity, fearless of every consequence, and dutifully submitting my own private opinion."
Behold the man! See how his patriot heart distends with a pure and ardent love to the people! And the people, on their part, bless him with ten thousand tongues, and even iron lungs are worn out or ulcerated in vociferating his praises. At his approach they throw up their hats and caps, and fill the air with shouts—unharnessed his carriage, and putting themselves in the place of the horses, draw him with their own hands thro' the streets; or else carry him triumphant on their shoulders. Indeed he was a shrewd man, and no one knew better how to ride upon the people's shoulders.
At length the day of recompence came. Wilkes obtained the chamberlainship of the city of London, worth, it has been said, seven thousand pounds sterling a year. His fortune was now made; the fire of patriotism in his breast instantly ceased to glow, and his sovereign contempt of the people instantly appeared.
When afterwards lord George Gordon undertook to act the demagogue, and head a vast and riotous multitude, Mr. Wilkes was a most zealous and firm supporter of government, and in person led out the posse comitatus, to suppress the rioters. Nay, he even went so far as to say that if power were given him, he would not leave a single rioter alive.
The king and ministry, in recompence of his zealous attachments, freely forgave his former political heresies and iniquities; and he lived and died in the pale of the political church—an orthodox believer in and supporter of the measures of the administration. Peace to his ashes!—I should not have disturbed them, but for the public good.
These sketches of the political character of Mr. Wilkes may be instructive to the present age. In all the different periods of the world the intrigues of ambitious men, and the arts of popular deception, have been much the same.—And whenever we see a man blowing the trumpet to proclaim his own patriotism—flattering the people, and professing towards them an unbounded affection and an entire devotedness to their views and interests, we may justly suspect that he intends to make his fortune.
HISTORICUS.

NEW-YORK, Nov. 23.
We understand that dispatches for government, from our Minister at the Court of London, were received by the Henry and Jane, arrived at Boston.
Ship Bedford, from Hamburg, brings papers from thence, of the 1st Oct. which is one day later from the continent than hitherto announced—but they furnish no interesting news. Ship Leach, from Boston, and a ship, Capt. Stines, from Marblehead, arrived at Hamburg the 30th Sept.
HARTFORD, Nov. 23.
One of our citizens, lately in conversation with an honest intelligent farmer on the subjects of the late dismissions from office by the soi-disant republicans, enquired the farmer's opinion of the matter—"Why," said Rufus, "I was always of opinion, that the clamor they have been making for these two years past against the federal government, and about their own virtue and patriotism and republicanism, was for no other purpose, under heaven, than to turn better men out and put themselves in to office. So it has turned out. My neighbours now begin to believe that I was right; but I tell them, wait a little longer, you will see the gentry find that there are 100s than TEATS, what a squeaker will be among them."
PROVIDENCE, Nov. 21.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman, dated Gibraltar, Sept. 22.
"A convoy is expected here in a few days from England, and I think we shall put ourselves under it, and go up as high as Minorca, which will put us out of danger from any Tripolitan pirate. Our government does not seem to have the proper ideas of this Tripolitan war, or they would furnish us with some small vessels of 12 or 16 guns. These would answer every purpose of convoy, as there is no Tripolitan whom they could not beat off, and the expence to government would be very much diminished, while at the same time the protection to us would be equally effectual."
WINDSOR, Nov. 24.
An address of the General Assembly of the State of Vermont, to Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States.
Sir, ALTHOUGH we are by no means fond of formal addresses to any of our rulers, yet as the practice has already obtained, our silence on the present auspicious occasion, might be falsely interpreted into an indifference toward your person, your political opinions, or your administration—We take therefore this earliest opportunity to assure you that we love and admire the Federal Constitution, not merely because it is the result and display of the collected wisdom of our own country, but especially because its principles are the principles of liberty, both civil and religious, and of the rights of man—We contemplate the general government as "the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad"—We sincerely respect all the constituted authorities of our country—We regard the Presidency with a cordial attachment and profound respect. But, Sir, we do not regard you merely as the dignified functionary of this august office—That you are an American both in birth and principle excites in us sensations of more exalted pleasure—We revere your talents, are assured of your patriotism, and rely on your fidelity—More than this, our hearts in unison with your own, reverberate the political opinions you have been pleased to announce in your inaugural speech—having said this we do not add that you may assure yourself of our constant and faithful support while you carry into effect your own rules of government.
Your disposition expressed in plain delineating in your inaugural address, and in a particular instance of a more recent date, the chart by which you propose to direct the course of the political ship, on board of which we have embarked the best of our temporal interest, invites a reciprocity of communication; under this indulgence—we are constrained to express some of our most ardent wishes.
May the general government draw around the whole nation, such lines of defence as shall prove forever impassable to every foreign foe—may it secure to the several states, as well the reality as the form of republican government—may it ever respect those governments as the most "competent for our domestic concerns, cherish them as the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies," and effectually protect them against any possible encroachments on each other—may it effectually extend to us and to every individual of our fellow citizens all that protection to which the state governments may be found incompe-
tent—while it thus defends us against ourselves and all the world, may it leave every individual to the free pursuit of his own objects, in his own way—may the means of defraying the expence necessarily incurred by these measures be drawn from all the inhabitants, in as just proportion to their respective abilities as is possible—may your administration be found on experiment to be effectually instrumental in adapting all the subordinate officers of government to the real accommodation of the great public, and of answering such a precise compensation to the discharge of every trust as shall invite the ready acceptance of modest ability and distinguished merit—while the avaricious, the ambitious and the luxurious shall see in it no allurements, and may no one description of citizens be ever favored at the expence of any other—Liberty herself demands these restrictions and these indulgencies are all she asks—This administered our government will stand fast on the surest basis, that of public opinion, nor will it need the mercenary support of any privileged class of men however influential they may be.
May he whose kingdom ruleth over all, direct and bless our whole administration and yourself.
[In the proceedings on this address we find, that it did not pass without merited opposition. Instead of the sentence, at the close of the second paragraph, "we are constrained," &c. it stood in the original draught, "we cannot suppress some of our own unanimous wishes."—These last words, Mr. LYON, a FEDERALIST, moved, should be struck out—but his motion was negatived;—on which he entered on the journal the following protest.—"The reason of my voting in the affirmative on the foregoing question, is because the House is not unanimous in the wishes contained in the address, and therefore the sentence without an amendment would be a libel."—The next day however, the motion was reconsidered, and the words objected to by Mr. LYON, were struck out. The question on the address, thus amended, was carried 82 to 59.—Forty-three members were absent.]
BOSTON, Nov. 30.
FROM LISBON. Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated 13th Oct. to a merchant in Newburyport.
"The Preliminaries were signed, for a General Peace, on the first day of this month, at London, and have since been ratified by His Britannic Majesty, and First Consul of France.—A Congress is to be held at Amiens, to adjust the definitive treaty, to which the Allies are invited to send Plenipotentiaries. A treaty of Peace between Russia and Spain, has also been signed at Paris, by Messrs Azara and Markoff."
By a letter from a respectable gentleman in England to his friend in Newburyport, we are informed, that a loan of FIFTY MILLIONS sterl. had been requested from the people by the British Minister.
FROM RUSSIA.—LATE.
Accounts received here from Russia, state, that party spirit runs high in the capital of that empire:—That Constantine, brother to the Emperor—who is equally hated and despised by the greater part of the nation—is at the head of a "sect" devoted to France, and acted upon by the intrigues of Duroc:—whereas the Emperor considers the true interests of his country to consist in a forcible opposition to the introduction of French principles and manners. Of consequence his predilections are more strongly in favour of the English than the French.
The following additional particulars relative to the capture of the Tripolitan corsair, have been received from Washington:—
"Captain Sterett, after administering to the relief of the distresses of the wounded Tripolitans, and the wans of the crew, on the 1st of August, ordered the ship of the enemy to be completely dismantled. Her masts were accordingly all cut down, and her guns thrown overboard. A spar was raised on which was fixed, as a flag, a tattered sail; and in this condition the ship was dismissed."
"On the arrival of the Tripolitan ship at Tripoli, so strong was the sensation of shame and indignation excited there, that the Bey ordered the wounded captain to be mounted on a jackass, and paraded through the streets as an object of public scorn. After which he received 500 batinados."
"So thunderstruck were the Tripolitans at this event, and at the apprehended destruction of their whole marine force, that the sailors then employed at Tripoli on board of cruisers that were fitting out by the government, all deserted them, and not a man could be procured to navigate them."
"But one cruiser, to wit, a ship of
10 guns, remained out. She was reported to be off Sicily, but had not been seen by any of our squadron."
There are now at anchor, and a long side the wharves in the harbour of Boston, 60 ships, 66 brigs, and 175 sloops and Schooners.
By the politeness of a mercantile friend, we are favored with a New-York paper of the 25th inst. received via Sound.

NEW-YORK, Nov. 25.
Extract of a letter from London, dated October 2d.
We have the pleasure to acquaint you that a 12 of the clock last night, Preliminaries of Peace, between this country and France, were signed by Lord HAWKESBURY on the part of the former, and by Citizen OTTO, on that of the latter. The conditions are not known; but as the event is of the utmost importance, we send this off by every conveyance that we can discover, in hopes of its reaching you early.
The article of Cotton must doubtless advance now. Rice will not only fall on account of a quantity just arrived from India, of the Panna Rice, which is very good, and more daily expected; but also on account of the peace. Tobacco cannot be much lower than at present. Indigo may for some time continue to sell well. Cochineal will, we fear, as soon as 1000 or 2000 crosars arrive in Europe, go below 178. Sugar and Coffee may be very languid for some months; but we cannot think they will go much lower. Dyewoods will only answer as tonnage. Freights will greatly lower, and so will insurances, particularly your cros West-India risks, and likewise on your voyages to and from the Spanish Colonies. The Convoy Duty, upon all articles, ceases from this day, and of course will reduce the charges, particularly on Cochineal, which was subject to 10d. per lb. convoy duty.
Rice has this day fallen from 32s to 23s.
MASONIC INTELLIGENCE.
On Monday evening, MOUNT LEBANON LODGE was installed in ample and ancient form, by the Grand Lodge of this Commonwealth, at Masons-Hall in Market Square.—The ceremonies were performed with great accuracy—the music was appropriate and executed by an excellent choir—and the satisfaction of the company, of which a number were not of the fraternity, appeared complete. After the ceremonies, the whole partook at a sumptuous entertainment at MAREAN's Hall.
SALEM, Nov. 26.
Mr. John Mace, of this town, arrived here since our last from Sumatra. He informs us, that there was a report at Bencoolen, the 15th July, that Batavia had surrendered to the English. It was rumoured, that an English squadron from Bengal had for some time formed the blockade of that place; and this report was brought to Bencoolen by a vessel which spoke one of the English squadron in the Straits of Sundra, from which she received the account. This report was not entirely depended on, but greatly credited.
PORTSMOUTH, DECEMBER 1.
Sundry arrivals on the continent since our last, contradict the report of the sudden death of ALEXANDER the 1st.—Capt. Salter, of the ship Two Sisters arrived here in 62 days from Peterburgh, says that some time previous to his sailing the Emperor was taken sick very suddenly, that a report was immediately circulated of his being poisoned, but without the shadow of truth; a few days before Capt. Salter left Peterburgh, the Emperor set out for Moscow in high health and spirits.
On Wednesday last the Hon. JAMES SHEPHERD and the Hon. JOSEPH PIERCE, Esquires proceeded on their journey to the city of Washington, to take their seats in the Congress of the United States.
Extract of a letter from a respectable American merchant at the Havanna, Oct. 3.
"I would thank you to mention to your friends the absolute necessity there is if every merchant, who sends a vessel to this port, to have the Spanish Consul's Certificate attached to their Invoices.—The brig Union of Boston, has been here 10 days, and is not yet permitted to land, for want of said Certificate, and is expected to be ordered away."
For three months preceding the 31st Oct. last, there were 31,742 bbls. 1,001 half bbls. Flour, and 20 bbls. Corn Meal inspected at the port of Alexandria.
Prices at St. Kitts, Nov. 6; Flour 14, Beef 18, and Pork 23 to 25 dollars per barrel. Rum, 4/9 to 5/. Molasses 3/.
CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
The following distressing circumstance happened in one of the streets a Baltimore. A young gentleman, who had some time ago unfortunately lost one of his eyes, was out executing a little business for an aged mother,
whose only support was derived from his industry and filial affection. He was met by some boys just loose from school, and armed with crooked sticks, which they use in a kind of play, by striking, and driving before them a wooden ball, or piece of stone; terrified at their approach, which seemed to threaten the loss of his remaining eye, he turned his back to them, until the danger would pass him, but unfortunately perceiving some of the party to have passed him, and driving the ball before them, he turned, and at that instant received a blow in his eye with a stone, which was struck at by one of the hindmost lads, and in a moment deprived him of his sight forever, to lead perhaps a tedious life in utter darkness, and at the same time to witness the affliction and poverty of his beloved mother, when he can no longer give her the least assistance.
At the raising of a barn frame, belonging to Mr. Ivory Bozworth, of Bridgewater, Vermont, after the two side works were erected and preparations were making for raising the intermediate work, one of the broad sides fell; by which accident, Mr. Nehemiah Woodward, son of Elder Woodward, was instantly killed by a fracture in the skull.
Mr. John Hyman Causen, son of Mr. Isaac Causen, of Baltimore died, suddenly aged 20 years.—The manner in which he came to his death, but too seriously proves, that
"There's a Divinity that shapes our ends Rough hew them how we will."
This sudden exit originated from the friction of a boot on one of his feet, which, being considered of little moment, was treated in the manner that such casual hurts generally are, but a mortification speedily ensuing, the skill of the most able of the medical faculty was called to his aid—but, alas, 'twas in vain!—The asperity of the mortifying power, refused every corrective, and he went down to an early grave, like a majestic oak torn up by the impetuous whirlwind.
A man by the name of Brandel, belonging to Schenectady, on his passage to Newyork, on board a Newburgh sloop, was knocked overboard by the boom, and drowned.
Mr. Frederick Bulkley, of Colechester, Connecticut, was pressed to death between a tree and the axle tree of a cart.
