GEORGETOWN (Maryland) Sept. 21.
ON Wednesday last one of the grandest Masonic processions took place, which, perhaps, ever was exhibited on the like important occasion.
About ten o'clock, Lodge No. 9, were visited by that congregation, so grateful to the craft, Lodge No. 22, of Virginia, with all their officers and regalia, and directly afterwards appeared on the southern banks of the grand river Potomack, one of the finest companies of volunteer artillery that hath been lately seen parading to receive the President of the United States, who shortly came in sight with his suite—to whom the artillery paid their military honors, and his Excellency and suite crossed the Potomack, and was received in Maryland by the officers and brethren of No. 22, Virginia, and No. 9, Maryland; whom the President headed, and preceded by a band of music, the rear brought up by the Alexandria volunteer artillery, with grand solemnity of march, proceeded to the President's square, in the city of Washington, where they were met and saluted by No. 15, of the city of Washington, in all their elegant regalia, headed by brother JOSEPH CLARK, Rt. W. G. M. P. T. and conducted to a large Lodge prepared for the purpose of their reception. After a short space of time, by the vigilance of brother C. WORTHY STEPHENSON, grand marshal, P. T. the brotherhood and other bodies were disposed in a second order of procession, which took place amidst a brilliant crowd of spectators of both sexes, according to the following arrangement, namely:—
The surveying department of the City of WASHINGTON.
Mayor and Corporation of Georgetown, Virginia Artillery, Commissioners of the City of Washington, and their Attendants, Stone Cutters, Mechanics, Two Sword Bearers, Masons of the First degree, Bibles, &c. on Grand Cushions, Deacons with Staves of Office, Masons of the Second degree, Stewards with Wands, Masons of the Third Degree, Wardens with Truncheons, Secretaries with Tools of Office, Pay-masters with their Regalia, Treasurers with their Jewels.
Band of Music.
Lodge No. 22, of Virginia, disposed in their own order, Corn, Wine, and Oil, Grand Master, Pro. Tem.
Brother GEORGE WASHINGTON, W. M. No. 22, Virginia, Grand sword-bearer,
The procession marched two a-breast, in the greatest solemn dignity, with music playing, drums beating, colours flying, and spectators rejoicing; from the President's square to the capitol, in the city of Washington; where the grand marshal ordered an halt, and directed each file in the procession, to incline two steps, one to the right, and one to the left, and face each other, which formed an hollow oblong square; through which the grand sword bearer led the van; followed by the grand master P. T. on the left—the President of the United States in the centre, and the Worshipful master of No. 22, Virginia, on the right—all the other orders, that composed the procession advanced, in the reverse of their order of march from the President's square, to the south-east corner of the capitol: And the artillery filed off to a defined ground to display their manoeuvres and discharge their cannon: The President of the United States, the Grand Master, P. T. and Worshipful M. of No. 22, taking their stand to the East of an huge stone; and all the craft, forming a circle westward, stood a short time in silent awful order;
The artillery discharged a volley. The Grand Marshal delivered the com-
missioners, a large silver plate with an inscription thereon, which the commissioners ordered to be read, and was as follows,
“This South-East corner stone, of the capitol of the United States of America, in the city of Washington, was laid on the 18th day of September 1793, in the thirteenth year of American Independence, in the first year of the second term of the Presidency of GEORGE WASHINGTON, whose virtues in the civil administration of his country have been as conspicuous and beneficial, as his military valour and prudence have been useful in establishing her liberties, and in the year of Masonry 5793, by the grand-lodge of Maryland, several lodges under its jurisdiction, and Lodge No. 22, from Alexandria, Virginia.
THOMAS JOHNSON, } DAVID STUART, } Commissioners. DANIEL CARROLL, } JOSEPH CLARK, R.W. G.M.—P.T. JAMES HOBAN, } Architects. STEPHEN HALLATE. } COLLET WILLIAMSON, M. Mason.”
The artillery discharged a volley.
The plate was then delivered to the President, who, attended by the grand master, P. T.—and three most worshipful masters descended to the cavesson trench, and deposited the plate, and laid on it the corner stone of the capitol of the United States of America—on which was deposited corn, wine, and oil; when the whole congregation joined in awful prayer, which was succeeded by Masonic chanting honors and a volley from the artillery.
The President of the United States, and his attendant brethren ascended from the cavesson to the East of the corner stone, and there the grand master P. T. elevated on a triple rostrum, delivered the following animated and ingenious Oration—
MY WORTHY BRETHREN, I Presume you expect I shall in some measure address you on this very important occasion, which I confess is a duty incumbent on me, altho' quite inadequate to the task, and entirely unprepared, for until high meridian yesterday I was not solicited, neither had I a conception to have the performance of this duty.
Therefore you will accept my observations with brotherly love, they are I assure you sincere; and dictated by a pure masonic heart, tho' very brief.
Volley from the Artillery.
Brothers I beg leave to declare to you that I have, and I expect that you also have, every hope that the grand work we have done to day will be handed down, as well by record, as by oral tradition, to as late posterity—as the like work of that ever memorable temple to our order, erected by our ancient G. M. Solomon.
Volley from the Artillery.
The work we have done to day—laying the corner stone of this designed magnificent temple, the capitol of our extensive and populous states of veteran republicans; states which were recovered, settled, and permanently established by the virtuous achievements and bravery of our most illustrious brother, and benevolent friend to mankind, George Washington.
Volley from the Artillery.
I say that we further hope that this work may be remembered for many ages to come as a similar work hath from the commencement of time to this remarkable moment: I mean the work of laying the corner stone of our ancient, honorable and sublime order.
Volley from the Artillery.
We also hope that the grand architect of all men, free masons and matter, may continue his great gifts of ability to all those concerned, to preserve in raising,
not only on this particular corner stone, but on every other corner stone, already planted, and that may be planted, in this extensive site for a commercial federal city—edifices so durable with strength and beauty, that with common care and nurture they may not envy time.
And we further hope that all the edifices which may be erected in this territory of Columbia, may be numerously inhabited with citizens, to merit every commendation for their virtue, honor, bravery, industry and arts.
Volley from the Artillery.
And I hope that our super-excellent order may here be indefatigably laborious, not only to keep in good repair our hallowed dome—but be incessantly industrious to adorn it, with the grand theological virtues, faith, hope, and charity; and embellish it with wisdom, strength and beauty.
Volley from the Artillery.
My Dear Brethren,
It would be ungrateful—Indeed I think impossible on this occasion not to notice, under the auspices of our most glorious divine providence; the rapidity of the growth of these magnificent buildings, and this extensive city, in so short a period; by the assiduous indefatigable labor and industry of all those very valuable characters for virtue, honor, understanding and ability, who have had not only the supreme command, but in every grade.
Volley from the Artillery.
Brothers, permit me to suggest to your good understandings, if so much can be done by the local assistance of two fifteenths of these vast States, by such an eminent Leader, excellent Directors, Architects, Surveyors and Mechanics; what ought we to conceive will be done by them, when aided by the remaining thirteen-fifteenths, who will set to with willing and powerful hands, not in a local and sparing, but in an infinite generous and loving manner. And in addition thereto, an universality of individuals, like innumerable hives of bees bestowing their industrious labor on this second Paradise.
Volley from the Artillery.
Then, my dear Brethren, Architecture, Masonry, Arts and Commerce will grow with rapidity inconceivable to me, and therefore incomparable.
Brethren, although I have neither wishes nor pretensions to divination, yet I venture to prophecy, from such intuitive sense, that all I have suggested to you will soon come to pass: When we shall all, hail! Blessed Territory of Columbia—favored land, soon, very soon indeed, shall the shores of thy peaceful and delightful city, be visited by the commercial interest of the united world, then happy thy sons, and thrice happy those, whose prudence and foresight have induced them to become thy citizens.
Volley from the Artillery.
It must my dear brethren be evident to all our understandings, that not alone nature, but Providence, hath marked their intentions in the most indelible manner, to make the seat for the Grand Mark, the super-excellent emporium for politics, commerce, industry, and arts of the United States—seated in the very centricity of our republic—on the banks of one of the noblest rivers in the universe—sufficiently capacious to erect thereon a city equal, if not superior, in magnitude, to any in the world—It boasts, but then very truly—a climate the most serene and salubrious—equal of access from all the cardinal and intermedial points, as any place that kind nature ever formed, even beyond conception of art—wanting no defence but what is in, and ever will be in, I trust, the intrepidity and bravery of its founder and citizens.
Volley from the Artillery.
Although it is not the growth of, yet there is already planted in this garden or young nursery of the arts, and hath blossomed numerous flowers, that bloom with high lustre in their various departments,
(not to mention its ever to be revered founder) but its finances, conductors, projectors, delineators, and executive geniuses without number, and many of them not only brethren of our order, but brothers of superior-excellent and sublime estimation.
Volley from the Artillery.
Certainly, my dear brethren, it must be as grateful to you as it is to me, to possess the great pleasure of laying this corner stone, which we hope, expect, and sincerely pray to produce innumerable corner stones; and that on every one of them, may spring immense edifices. We fervently pray to the Great Grand Master of Heaven, earth, and all things, of his infinite wisdom, strength, goodness, and mercy, to grant. So may it be.

LONDON, August 12. OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF THE Operations of the Austrian Army, UNDER THE COMMAND OF GEN. COUNT VON WURMSER.
Head-Quarters at Altdorf, July 16. SUNDAY, July 14.
The enemy's infantry approached this day much nearer the villages of Ottersheim and Knittelsheim than formerly. They advanced as usual against the front of the wood to the left of Spiegel Bridge. In the skirmish which took place there, Captains Bechara and Simick observed that the enemy were sending back several of their wounded. It was reported every where that the enemy would this day make a general attack. His Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick came therefore in person, with four battalions, eight squadrons, and a riding battery from Neustadt towards Veningen; But nothing happened but what has already been mentioned. Towards eight o'clock in the evening, General Baron Kospoth reported, that a considerable column of infantry was marching from Ruelshelm towards Landau.
WEDNESDAY, July 17.
At day-break some skirmishes took place between Herdt and Spiegel Bridge, in which one man of the Servian free corps was killed. The enemy had several men killed and wounded.—About, Ottersheim and Knittelsheim Major General Von Messars reinforced the posts on account of the enemy's patrols, who were advancing in great numbers. In the course of the morning, upwards of 300 men of the enemy's infantry and cavalry advancing against Knittelsheim, were so unfortunately attacked by Lieutenant-Colonel Leopold and Baron Vitzty of the Hussars of Leopold, Lieutenant Hampel of Mack cuirassiers, and Lieutenant Colonel Wustkavnovich and Ensign Vezelich of the Servian free corps, that the enemy's cavalry immediately gave way, and thirty-two of their infantry were killed, and twelve taken prisoners. The enemy, who had retreated with the utmost precipitation, returned in greater force both of infantry and Cavalry, with two Infantry and two Cavalry field-pieces, but they were again repulsed. Mean-while Major Sereny saw about 600 men, cavalry, marching up Ruelshelm, where the enemy's infantry was stationed in the trenches which they had thrown up. But the enemy finding every thing quit, returned to the Village. We had on our part, one hussar and two horses killed, and one hussar and one horse wounded. Major-General Messars cannot sufficiently praise the good conduct of all the troops, especially the bravery and steady countenance of the Chasseurs of Mirabeau. The Bailiff of Ottersheim has received orders to bury the killed.
(Signed) WURMSER.
TREASON !!!
A very serious complaint was lodged a few days ago, before a Justice of the Peace, and one of the Quorum in a northern county, against a simple countryman, for having "damn'd the King." A warrant was accordingly issued, and the poor trembling delinquent dragged before the Bench, when the following very keen and pointed interrogatories were put to him.
Justice —Harkee! you fellow!—How came you wickedly and profanely to damn his most sacred Majesty GEORGE the Third, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, and so forth?
Countryman —Lord! your Worship, I did not know that King of Clubs was Defender of the Faith , or by my troth I would no' damn'd it.
Justice —King of Clubs! Why you rebellious rascal, what, do you add insult to treason?—Tell me what you mean?
Countryman —Mean your Worship, why you mun know that we wern noine and noine , at Whisk and swabbers , Clubs was Trumps , I had ace and queen i' my own hond—but as ill luck would ha'it, our neighbour Tummas clapt his king smack upon my queen , and by gadlin , they gotten the odd trick—So being welly throtled with rage, your Worship, I--I--I--cry damn the king !
Justice —O—! well, if that's all, thou may go about thy business—but see that thou never does so again.
Countryman —God bless your honor—I wanna e'en curse a knave , for fear it may offend your worship!
Dispatches are said to have been received by the way of Vienna stating, that the fleet under the command of Vice-Admiral Lord Hood were then in high health and spirits off Corsica, which island was expected to surrender, without resistance, to the British arms.
The Earl of Yarmouth, who now represents his Britannic Majesty before the King of Prussia went into Mentz at the head of the first Prussian regiment which took possession of the place.—He went in great magnificence. He was drawn in a chariot by six state horses, richly carapisoned, with a grand retinue.
From Dantzick there is intelligence, that the Russian fleet has again failed from Revel, where it was obliged to repair for a trifling refit. The Admiral has sealed instructions, which he is not to open 'till he arrives at a certain latitude.
The King of Prussia it is said has written word to the Prince of Conde, "that the project of penetrating into France, and marching to Paris, was now on the point of being executed and that his Majesty was happy in the opportunity that would be soon afforded him, of restoring that Prince to the possession of all his rights and property."
Letters from Paris advise, that the Spaniards, after taking the fort Belle-garde, have assembled their troops, which was dispersed to different places, and are advancing to Perpignan, to form the attack against that place. It is very strongly fortified, and if it be well defended, must detain them a long time.
The French East-Indian San Jean de Leon , prize to the Surprize privateer, is safe arrived at moorings off Deptford-yard. Her cargo is rated at 410,000l. are claimed by Messrs. Constable and Co. of New-York, in America, and one of the partners of whose house was on board her when captured; also goods to the amount of 35,000l. are claimed by a house at Geneva. The rest will be the property of the captors.
Lord Wm. Murray , Dr. Jackson , Mr. Crofsfield and Mr. Stabler , were on Monday, committed to Newgate, for conspiring to escape from the King's Bench. An apartment was provided for them on the debtor's side, the Master's side of the felons being completely crowded.
NEW-YORK, October 1.
The committee appointed to prevent the introduction and spreading of infectious diseases, in this city, report, that for ten days past no instance has come to their knowledge of any person infected with disease, partaking of the nature of that prevailing in Philadelphia.
BOSTON, October 9. FROM PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.
Through the favor of heaven we are yet in the land of the living.—My family are all well—I have been sick with a slight fever, which confined me 7 or 8 days—it has left me, but I am yet weak—My complaint was rather alarming, but I think it was not the epidemic complaint.
As to the disorder here, I hope it is on the decline—indeed I am sure it is; the number of the dead has diminished one half within a few days, say from 40 to 50, the number ten days ago, to about 25 to 30 a day. Since the first of August about 2000 persons have died according to the best information I can obtain; of these about 1500, of the epidemic, this statement may be exaggerated, thro' not much,—It appears to me that more than 25000, or one half of the people have left the City—Business is at a stand—the banks are open but nothing is done in the public offices. "You will see by the papers that a great many respectable characters are taken off—there are many others who are not mentioned, and which I have not time or strength to mention; among others, the Hon. SAMUEL POWELL , President of the Senate of this state, was buried last Sunday.
"Tho' we have had the disorder the next door, in which one has died, and six out of eight who have had it in our neighborhood have been taken off; yet thro' the mercy of God we are spared; our situation is open and airy, and I hope we shall continue to be preserved."
FROM NEW-YORK, Sept. 23.
"I have been waiting several weeks past, to collect facts relative to the ferocious epidemic, now desolating Philadelphia, in order to write something that might be acceptable. After all that has taken place, I am now much perplexed, amid the contradictory reports of the people, with whom I have conversed; and the controversies of the physicians, whose letters and publications have come to my knowledge. You will, therefore,
expect little more than you have learnt from the public gazettes."
"There have been a great diversity of opinions respecting the origin of the disease, which rages in Philadelphia; the following I believe to be the truth: A French ship from the Cape came to Philadelphia, immediately after the disturbances between the patriots and aristocrats of that island; having on board a number of sick persons, who were landed privately. Many of the ship's crew had died before the arrival. The sick who were put on shore soon died. Their cots and beds were sold. The persons who bought them took the disease; as did their neighbours, who had been exposed to these things while they were hung on a fence of the purchaser to be thoroughly aired or ventilated."
"A porter, or labourer, employed at the very wharf where the Frenchmen were landed and died, received the contagion, went to Kensington, and soon died. From these persons the disease has diffused itself, among the people. So much for the origin of the disease, which you may rely on as matter of fact. All parties agree this disease is the Typhus Gravior , or malignant yellow fever."
"There are two modes of cure, recommended by Dr. Rush , and his adherents, and by Dr. Stevens , from St. Croix, and his adherents."
" Stevens has cured, as it is reported, Secretary Hamilton . His principal remedy is cold bathing—But, you have seen Dr. Kubn's letter, giving an account of Stevens's practice. Rush is totally opposed to the tonic plan in the first stages of the disease. Large and repeated blood-letting, with drastic purging, are his remedies. Dr. Pennington , as I am well-informed, was bled five times—He is since dead! But, I have seen a letter this day, dated several days ago, from one of Rush's pupils, which asserts, that Rush has cured 400 patients—among this happy number, this young physician was one, as he asserts. Rush has given 100 grains of jalap, and 90 grains calomel in 36 hours. I write this on the authority of a grandson of Dr. Franklin , who is a medical student in Philadelphia, whose letter I have seen. I know of no medical facts or reasonings to support Rush's practice; but if it can hereafter be proved to be attended with the success that he has ascribed to it, the medical world will be under great obligations to him— Rush is now sick, as I am informed by letters received this morning: I most sincerely hope his calomel and jalap will not prove to him, what the sanguis hiric did to Von Helmont . Of late Rush has changed his theory, and he asserts that this disease is highly inflammatory."
"Seven persons have died here, of this fever. They were all from Philadelphia. Of this number was Mr. Thomas Carnes , of Boston, whom I attended. If it would afford you any satisfaction, I will send you an account of Mr. C's case. It does not yet appear, that any person in this place has received the contagion, from those who have been hither from Philadelphia. Seven or eight physicians have died in Philadelphia. Several more are now sick, and some despaired of recovery—20,000 people have left the city; those who remain, suffer the most complicated evils."
Extract of a letter from a French gentleman in New-York, to his friend in this town.
"The Executive Power of the United States has prohibited the consuls from condemning prizes.—That however did not appear to them, clearly expressed in the treaties between France and America. I am told a negotiation is on foot, to adjust those matters. The result of the prohibition is, that the captors must take upon themselves the management of their prizes, and the sale, which as far as it respects the cargoes, will be attended with no difficulty—But those who would purchase the vessels will not easily take them without a previous condemnation, recourse must be had, I think, to the nearest French settlement."
Yesterday the Secretary at War of the United States arrived in this town, from Philadelphia.

The Lords of the Admiralty have lately contracted with the private ship builders for the immediate building of six frigates of 38 guns each, and twelve sloops of 16 guns; all which are to be on an enlarged scale.
FROM GIBRALTAR, Aug. 3.
The English fleet at present are off Toulon, and are to continue there till the Spanish fleet (who are gone in to water) join them. The Berwick parted from the fleet on the 21st ult. off Toulon in a gale of wind and arrived here yesterday, having sprung her bowsprit, fore and mizen masts and main cross trees. The Leda frigate has been roughly handled by three French frigates, the Illustrious was in company and it is said an enquiry is to be made into the conduct of her Captain for not assisting. We have had no late accounts from England, but expect from thence, every hour, the Montague . The French have 16 sail of the line in Toulon, and the Spaniards are in daily expectation of the surrender of Piedmont.
LATEST NEWS FROM SPAIN.
SALEM, Oct. 8.
Last Saturday Capt. Slewman , of the brig St. John , arrived here from Cadiz, after a passage of 48 days, by him we learn, that the Spanish fleet, 24 sail of the line arrived at Cadiz from the Mediterranean, on the 8th of August, without having attempted any thing against the French, being obliged to return on account of a raging sickness in the fleet, of which there were from 6 to 8000 sick and dead; they were several days in landing their sick at Cadiz. They left the British fleet, with which they had been combined, sailing up the Straits, after being with them little more than one day.
The London paragraphists had predicted the most complete success to the above fleets, on their sailing—observing, that there was no hostile force in the Mediterranean in a capacity to oppose them—but forgetting that they might be opposed by a more powerful arm than that of flesh.
Yesterday departed this life,
HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN HANCOCK, Esquire,
Governor and Commander in Chief of this Commonwealth—after 57 years of a life actively devoted to the cause of Liberty and Humanity—and the Happiness and Improvement of his fellow men.
To record, with precision, the virtues of his mind—the philanthropy of his heart—his patriotism, or his usefulness, were to insult the judgment of every American.
If we ascend into the Senate of the Union, we there find his name first on that MAGNA CHARTA , which ascertained, vindicated, and declared the INDEPENDENCE OF AMERICA —and the repeated suffrages of his fellow-citizens to sustain the important office of First Magistrate of this Commonwealth, shew how highly he was esteemed as capable to guard their rights in the Cabinet of Massachusetts.
If we search our Municipal Records, we shall often see him sustaining with honor the most important and arduous stations.
Look we into the Temples dedicated to the Most High, we shall there view numerous marks of his charity and benevolence.
But if we explore the hearts of the indigent and distressed—the Widow and the Orphan—we shall there see those lively emotions—which emphatically say,— OUR FRIEND AND OUR SUPPORTER IS GONE.
The pen of the ready writer will do honor to his services, and to his memory. But the sorrow, visible in the countenances of every description of citizens, is a better testimony to his exalted character, than the sublimest effusions of the most polished writer.

BALTIMORE, September 27. Extract of a letter from Citizen Genet, to Citizen Moissonnier, Vice-Consul of Maryland, dated Sept. 16.
"The King of Prussia has acknowledged the French Republic, withdrawn his Troops from our Frontiers, and turned his Arms against the Empress of Russia."
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Charles-ton, to his correspondent in this city, dated August 17, 1793.
"NOTHING material happened since you left this place, except the arrival of two French and one American vessels, from that once flourishing, but now abandoned city, Cape-Francois.—These vessels were full of passengers, who fled from ruin, to take refuge in this land of liberty; the two French vessels happily arrived, without meeting any of those savages fitted out to rob the high seas. The American, however, fell in with one Capt. Tucker, of the privateer Sufannah, from New-Providence, and he, O shocking to relate! Added misery to distress, by taking from the passengers what little they had saved from the fire; above 60,000 French crowns in specie and plate."
DIED —In this city, citizen DUPONT, the French Consul for Philadelphia, a victim to the malignant fever now prevailing here. The day on which his remains were interred, the frigate La Precieuse, and the India ship La Ville de l'Orient began at sunrise, and continued 'till the sun was down, to fire guns every five minutes, in honor of this true republican, and man of estimation. The American and French vessels in port wore their colors half mast high.—Died, also, Judge ATLEE—Mr. VINCENT PELOSI—Mrs. YOUNG, consort of Mr. W. Young, Printer—Mr. JOHNSON, Printer, Mr. WASHINGTON WOODHOUSE, Printer, —Mr. BARNES—Mr. ISAAC MILLER—Mr. JOHN COTTRINGER—Mr. GILCHRIST—Mrs. SYNG—Mr. MASON—Mr. JOSEPH TATEM—Mrs. HOLLAND, of Front-street.—Mr. DAVID HICKMAN, jun. &c. &c.
ONCE more this sad momento strikes your eye, Smites the gay heart, excites the tender sigh, Calls forth afresh the sympathizing tear, And bids us moan again this solemn year. Let the gay youth review this solemn page, And see death certain here in ev'ry age; Not all the fondness which a mother knows, Not all the sweet solicitude she shows, Can her lov'd offspring for one moment save, Or snatch that parent from the greedy grave; In vain we sit and plan for future years And talk of distant joys, and hopes, and fears; Ah! what avails life's most delightful schemes? One moment proves them idle empty dreams; Some sad occurrence, or some long lov'd friend, Sinks to the grave, and see the enchantment end. Witness ye mourners of the present year, Who still lament what once you held so dear, With what keen pangs we give the last em- brace,
How loth to quit the lov'd, tho' lifeless face. 'Tis then we see, in truth's unerring glass, How vain is life, how swift our moments pass; With streaming eyes we view the silent tomb, And deeply feel that death's our certain doom; Old age and heedless youth, and beauty's charm, Shrinks at the thought, and feel the dread alarm: Frail nature sinks beneath the awful sound, And pleasures self seems sickening all around. No mortal friend the drooping mind can cheer, No human power, protect that mind from fear: Religion come with energy divine, To calm the troubl'd heart is only thine; Teach us what joy serene from virtue flows, And the true peace with innocence bestows; Teach us that vice alike in every stage, Disgraces youth, and flames decried age; That goodness paints the beauteous face more fair,
October 3. Extract of a letter from Liverpool, August 15.
"It is impossible that the Americans can much longer submit to the insults of the English on their trade. Every port in this part of the kingdom swarms with American vessels, taken and brought in by British cruisers. I have attended several trials at Doctors Commons, where I have been shocked to see the unaccountable conduct of both captors and judges. Bribes are frequently offered, from 500l. to 1000l. to the captains and mates of the prizes, to swear against their ships; and sorry I am to say, some of them have received the bribes, and on others the
bribes have been proved, and the vessels still detained. No American vessel is allowed to pass to France with any cargo, except Tobacco, nor is admitted from thence but in ballast. From what I see of the wretched state of this country, the Americans have the means of redress in their own hands, and by acting with a proper degree of spirit, a war prevented. But if the Americans remain quiet, there is no doubt but this country will offer still greater insults, and they will at last be under the necessity of taking up arms. The best plan for the present, would be to come into a non importation agreement of every article manufactured in Britain. The English and Scotch manufacturers (already in the last stage of distress) would then be wholly at a stand, and the many thousands that now subsist by the American trade, would be reduced to the greatest extremities. Manchester has at this time upwards of twenty thousand of their work people maintained by subscription; and every manufacturing town in the country is in the same deplorable condition. One cloth manufactory discharged twelve hundred workmen in one day.—The other day in Leeds market, upwards of 10,000 pieces of cloth were put up for sale, and not 30 sold. Should the United States stop the trade with Britain, there is no doubt but the inhabitants would instantly refuse any further submission to the folly of their tyrannic rulers, and would compel the Minister to change his conduct towards the Americans. Thus would a war be prevented, which must otherwise soon involve both countries in ruin."
NEW-YORK, October 7. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in this city, dated the 4th instant.
"I have the pleasure of informing you that appearances are more favorable this day, than at any time since the disease prevailed."
"Yesterday, we buried by application at this place, twelve bodies, and sent thirty-six to the Hospital—This day we have sent but two, and buried the same number, and with much pleasure see our carts unemployed before the doors. I hear of no remarkable death this morning, and but few of any kind, neither do I hear of any fresh attacks."
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated October 5.
"Since my letter of Oct. 2, there has not been any decrease of the mortality so far as I can learn, until yesterday, and the day before, when the burials were about 30 each day; but on Wednesday upwards of 50. The physicians, however, say that the malignancy of the disorder is much diminished—Many are recovering."
"Seven or eight of the practising Physicians have fallen victims; some who were in high repute fled early from the city; but RUSH and some others, have stood to their post, with wonderful firmness—RUSH has been through the fever once; and I am sorry to add, is now confined again."
"Not one of the clergy have been taken sick, and the nurses who attend at the Hospital, (where from 10 to 20 have died every day for three weeks past) have none of them been taken down with the disorder."
The Surveillante, 40 gun French frigate, which has been for some time refitting, is at length fully ready for sea, and, we understand, is intended to convey Rear Admiral CAMBIS to France, that he may appear before the Convention, in order to appease the doubts entertained of the civility of the French fleet at present in this harbor, and clear up some mysterious matters relative to their conduct at Cape-Francois, during the late distressing event which took place there.
We hear the Surveillante is to be accompanied to France by the Normande, a victualling ship, carrying 24 guns, who takes a cargo of flour. It is supposed they will both sail in the course of next week.

DIALOGUE,
Between a Citizen of Philadelphia, and a Jersey Farmer (ten miles from town.)
HO! —who are you, you yellow-fever looking fellow; and what business have you out of your city?
Citizen. Sir, I do assure you, upon my word of honor, there is not a founder man in New-Jersey, than myself. I eat my three meals a day, have not even had a finger ach these six months, and can take an oath upon the holy evangelists, that the doctors have not had a nine pence from me these seven years. Feel my pulse, and convince yourself.
Farmer. Feel your pulse, sir!—may I die by the grip of an audyne necklace, if I would come within ten yards of you for ten pounds. Why, sir, your breath is petulance—you face is the very image of destruction—your eyes are death's poop lanterns—you are a moving mass of putridity, corruption, plague, poison, and putrefaction—Your yellow fever!—not I, faith—nor do I believe you have any more pulse than a man that was laid in his grave thirty years ago. [ The citizen advances towards him. ] Awaft! awaft, sir! advance not, I beseech you, if you have any regard to your soul's health—keep to leeward, or by the three prongs of my dung fork, I will make ghosts meat of you! I will instantly finish what the yellow fever has begun!
Citizen. The sun draws low! a night's lodging in your barn, or even in your horse stable, would claim my eternal gratitude. I feel weary with my long walk, a nap of sleep would be refreshing, and by peep of day I will be jogging.
Farmer. Your weariness, or rather weakness, arises simply from the raging fever that now burns like a fiery furnace within you—sleep in my barn!—very pretty indeed!—why, my very horse would catch the yellow-fever from you. In such a horrid state of contagion are you that in one night the pestilential vapours and blue fogs arising from your carcase, would infect forty tons of hay; I pray you to walk on, and leave me and mine. You are upon the verge of another world, and we with no connection with you. Retire, I say.
Citizen. Walking through ten miles of heavy sand has, I assure you, given me considerable of an appetite. Could I have a bit of victuals for my money? The taverns are every where shut against me—a luncheon of cold beef, a slice of ham, a bit of bacon, or a chunk of bread—you might surely venture to reach one or more of these articles to me on the point of a pitch fork.
Farmer. Beef for a man in your situation!—You are, beyond all doubt, raving mad and light headed. If you were in your right senses you would rather ask for tarter emetic, jalaps, purges, cullery imorbus, hippecacahna, doses of Spaniish flies, and cart loads of drugs, physics, and medicines of every denomination, and description. For God's sake leave me; talking with you is like talking with a ghost—hoist your black flag, and away to your Potter's field.
Citizen. I want no physic. I shall now depart from your borders and return home; but not without first observing to you, that the common duties of humanity between man and man should have as much weight with a rational creature as the great duty of self preservation itself, and be equally observed.—Cowards shrink from danger; the brave, when necessary, meet it with fortitude; and, trust me, you will find, in at least, ninety instances out of a hundred, that cowards perish through the very effects of their fears, while the firm escape and enjoy a comfortable length of existence.—Adieu.

PM IN HASTE.
A SONG.
As cross the field the other morn, I trip'd so blithe and gay, The Squire with his dog and gun, By chance came by that way. Whither so fast, sweet maid? he cried, And caught me round the waist; Pray stop awhile—Dear Sir, said I, I can't, for I'm in haste.
You must not go as yet, cried he, For I have much to say: Come sit you down, and let us chat, Upon this new-mown hay: I lov'd you long, and oft have wish'd Thofe ruby lips to taste; I'll have a kiss—well then, said I, Be quick, for I'm in haste.
Just as I spoke, I saw young Hodge Come thro' a neighboring gate: He caught my hand, and cried dear girl, I fear I've made you wait; But here's the ring, come let's to church, The joys of love to taste— I left the Squire, and laughing cried, You see, Sir, I'm in haste.
