Respecting Burns's Poems.
THE fame of this author is spreading rapidly, and the merit of his works is acknowledged by all who have had an opportunity of seeing them. The demand for these poems was so great, that the whole of the first edition (only published last May) were sold in a few weeks, and the second edition is already printed in London. Price six shillings, tier- ling, in boards.
The following criticism is extracted from the Loun- ger, a recent and much esteemed periodical pub- lication:—
"I know not if I shall be accused of partiality, when I introduce to notice a poet of our own coun- try, with whose writings I have lately become ac- quainted; but if I am not greatly deceived, I think I may safely pronounce him a genius of no ordi- nary rank. The person to whom I allude is RO- BERT BURNS, an Ayrshire Ploughman, whose poems were some time ago published in a country town in the west of Scotland, with no other am- bition, it would seem, than to circulate among the inhabitants of the country where he was born, to obtain a little fame from those who had heard of his talents. I hope I shall not be thought to assume too much, if I endeavor to place him in a higher point of view, to call for a verdict of his country on the merit of his works, and to claim for him those honors which their excellence appears to de- serve.
"His poem entitled, 'The Vision,' discovers a high tone of feeling, a power and energy of expres- sion, particularly and strongly characteristic of the mind and voice of a poet. Of strains like the a- bove poem, solemn and sublime, with that rapture and inspired melancholy in which the poet lifts his eye 'above this visible diurnal sphere,' the poems entitled 'the Depondency,' 'the Lament,' 'Winter, a Dirge,' and the 'Innovation to Rain,' afford no less striking examples. Of the tender and the moral, specimens equally advantageous might be drawn from the elegiac verses, entitled, 'Man was made to mourn,' from 'The Cotter's Saturday Night,' the stanzas 'To a Mouse,' or those 'To a Moun- tain Daisy.' The power of genius is not less ad- mirable in tracing the manners, than in painting the passions, or in drawing the scene of nature. Whoever will read his lighter and more humorous poems, his 'Dialogue of the Dogs,' his 'Dedica- tion to G— H— Esq.,' his 'Epistle to a young Friend,' and 'To W. S—,' will per- ceive with what uncommon penetration and faga- city this Heaven-taught ploughman, from his hum- ble and unlettered station, has looked upon men and manners."
"Burns possesses the spirit as well as the fancy of a Poet. That honest pride and independence of soul, which are sometimes the mule's only dow- er, break forth on every occasion in his works."

Messrs. LONDON,
Seeing the benefit derived by the Methodist Converts in and about Brunswick, in your last paper; please give the following account of St. Coodric, a place in your Packet.
S T. GOODRIC made three pilgrimages to Jerusalem; at length was warned by a vision, to settle in the desert of Zunchal. During sixty-three years he lived a hermitical life, and practised unheard of austerities: he wore an iron shirt next to his skin, day and night, and wore out three: he mingled ashes with the flour he made his bread of; and lest it should then be too good, kept it three or four months before he ventured to eat it. In winter as well as summer, he passed whole nights up to his chin in water, at his devotion. Like St. Anthony he was often haunted by fiends in various shapes; sometimes in form of beautiful damsels; and, was visited with evil concupiscence; which he cured by rolling naked among thorns and briars: His body grew ulcerated; but, to increase his pain, he poured salt into the wounds.—He wrought many miracles, and died A. D. 1170.

FOREIGN ADVICES.
By the British Packet Dalswood.
L O N D O N, June 30.
It is with real concern we inform the public, that the present Greenland season has proved the most disastrous one the adventurers in that fishery have experienced for many years. By accounts already received it appears that 14 ships have perished in the ice; and there is too much reason to fear that more have been lost, of which no information has yet been obtained.
To mitigate the horror with which the feeling heart must be pierced by such a recital, we are happy to add, that there is the greatest reason to believe, that all, or much the greater part of the crews have been saved.
The unfortunate event abovenoted was occasioned by the ships getting inclosed by the vast islands of ice which are always floating in the Greenland seas during the fishing season, but were this season more numerous and stupendous than any man employed in the fishery had ever before seen.
So instantaneous was the destruction of some of the above ships, that the crews had it not in their power to make any previous arrangement for their own preservation, the vessels being in a moment crushed to atoms; consequently the only means they had to preserve themselves from instantly perishing, was leaping with that dexterity which desperation only could excite, upon the mountains of ice which dealt destruction to their ships; and, in that situation, waiting for relief from those who witnessed the catastrophe, without having the misfortune to share in it.
A private letter from a gentleman at Amesfort, received by the last conveyance, assures us, that the Prince Stadtholder, having assembled a well disciplined army at that place, on whose valor and zeal in the cause of the house of Orange, he could place the most perfect confidence, was preparing to march to the city of Utrecht; for the purpose of entering that place, in a constitutional and peaceable manner; determined, in case his entrance should be obstructed, to invest the place in form: So that it is probable those insolent people, by rushing the vengeance of insulted honor, will too late repent their temerity.
In confirmation of the above, we have just received advice, that another skirmish took place on the 21st. near Utrecht, between a detachment of dragoons in garrison at Zeist, and the Patriots, in which the former had an evident advantage; only one officer on their side, being wounded, the Baron de Verschuer. The other party are said to have sustained a considerable loss.
July 3. The Prince of Orange's army have taken post at Bilt, about one hour's march from Utrecht. It consists of 2,500 men, part of whom are encamped in 300 small tents, which may be seen from the top of the dome of the church at Utrecht.
Upon further enquiry, respecting the loss of the Greenland ships, which we gave an account of in our last, we are sorry to learn, that there does not remain a doubt, but that the whole of the crews of four ships, namely, the Mary, the Generous Friends, and the Betsey, belonging to the port of London, and the Mary, belonging to Hull, were totally destroyed.
The unfortunate men had but just time to leap on one of those mountains of ice, which crushed their ships to atoms, before the place they had chosen for safety, by the motion of other floating islands of ice was overturned, and the miserable inhabitants instantaneously entombed in the boundless deep.
The fate of the other ten ships rests at present solely on assertion, and we have our hopes that so many did not perish as was at first supposed, although a similar account to that we gave, was received at Lloyd's, and entered on the books there.
July 4. A letter from Copenhagen says, that a new Council has been established there, by order of his Danish Majesty, for regulating all affairs relating to the public trade and commerce of that kingdom, reserving an appeal to himself on all extraordinary occasions.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, May 7. "Intelligence is received from Egypt, which is not considered as a good augury; it states that the Captain Pacha, after the victory, the account of which was published by the Divan, has not been able to continue his success any further against the two Beys Ibrahim and Muhrat, who are stationed along with their troops in posts extremely advantageous and well chosen. They are drawing nearer to Cairo, with a view to harrys and molest the Ottoman troops. Besides this, the country, which is of itself very fertile, is left untilled, and a prey to the ravages of the undisciplined soldiers."
"The husbandmen have abandoned the labours of the field, as the fruit of their toil would fall to the lot of the strongest; the shepherds have quitted the plains with their flocks; from whence a dearth and scarcity of provisions is felt at Cairo, which approaches to a famine."
This news has excited much clamour amongst the people, who have told the Divan, that they
doubt strongly of the truth of the accounts which are published. In short, our politicians are agreed, that the Beys are very multipliable in their numbers, for of three who are said to have fallen in the field of battle, the Captain Pacha has sent here already nine heads of such rebels, which have all been exposed on the walls of the Seraglio."
We are enabled to inform the public,—that very little doubt remains of a part of the illustrious House of Orange being at this time in confinement.—Dispatches being received at the Marquis of Carmarthen's office, which mention the event.
We are informed from respectable authority, that the French Ministry last week dispatched two private memorials; one to the British, another to the Court of Berlin, to the following purpose:
"That in the present commotions in Holland, it is their fixed and decided determination not to intermeddle, except separately, or conjunctively, called upon as mediators;—but if any power in Europe shall take up arms either for or against the republic, they no longer hold themselves pledged to this determination; but shall consider themselves at liberty to act, as the exigencies of affairs may require."
The following is a more full and particular account of the event of her Serene Highness, the Princess of Orange being stopped near Oudewater, in South Holland, while she was on the way to the Hague, than any that has yet appeared.—The advice is from very respectable authority, and conveyed in a channel not likely to be deceived or mistaken.
"On the day following that in which the Stadtholder set off from Nimeguen for Rheineim and Amersfoort, the Princess set off with her eldest son, William George Augustus, very privately in a small vessel down the river by Tuille to Gorcum, where she arrived in the evening of the 26th June, and the next morning she went in a post-coach, with the Prince, Comte Bentinck, and General Dercedis, (who met her at Gorcum) to Schoonhoven, which is on the north side of the Maese, and where they arrived on the 27th. The next morning the Princess and her son, in a travelling carriage, went from Schoonhoven with an intention of going directly to the Hague, from which it is distant about twenty miles. On the road her carriage was stopped by some armed Burghers who are not in the Princess's interest; who, after some delay, conducted her back to Schoonhoven, where they have literally a guard over her till they hear from the Hague. The young Prince is about 17 years old."
Extract of a letter from the Hague, June 24. "Last Tuesday, the deputies of the city of Rotterdam made the following propositions in the Assembly of their Noble and Great Mightinesses.
 I. Save the deliberations of the city of Leyden, concerning the suspension of the Stadtholder, to forbid all the officers, suspended and dismissed, to remain longer than twice 24 hours on the territory of Holland, on pain of death.  II. To grant an amnesty to all the soldiers who have been at the line.  III. To form immediately other regiments, in the room of those that have deserted.  IV. To effectuate without delay the secret deliberations, and six for that purpose the earliest day.  V. That all the rivers that surround Holland, be provided with the necessary armed ships.  VI. To give orders to the deputies at the general, not to attach themselves to their particular system, but to that of the province.  VII. To decline the report of the personal business, concerning the mediation dated the 9th of June. 
"We learn that the deputies of the city of Leyden, proposed last week at the Assembly of Holland, to send a deputation to the Assembly of the States-General, in order to summon them to abrogate, within the space of twice 24 hours, all the resolutions taken for three weeks past, to the prejudice of the sovereignty of Holland; and in default of that, to declare solemnly, "That the province of Holland considered as broken the Union with the three provinces that had publicly avowed a system contradictory to the republican constitution." That in consequence, this declaration having been made at the Assembly of their High Mightinesses, it had last Friday that effect, that their High Mightinesses had annually, by a majority of votes, their resolutions of the 1st and 10th of this month: But that the Council of State had hesitated to execute the said resolution. We learn since, that the said Council has resolved to send circular letters to the confederates, containing the reasons of their difficulties concerning the last resolution of their High Mightinesses."
They write from Friesland, that the deputies to the States of that province, have disapproved the conduct of their deputies at the Assembly of the States-General, in admitting the deputies of Utrecht to that Assembly; and that they have declared, they acknowledge the States sitting at Amersfoort, as the only legal States of the province of Utrecht."
Extract of a letter from Utrecht, June 28. Nine o'clock in the evening.
"We have this instant received accounts that this day at noon the Princess of Orange, with two of the Princes, her sons, together with the well-known Chevalier Bentick, were arrested by a detachment of Burghers of Gouda, between Schoonhoven and Oudewater. Early intelligence had been received that a great personage would pass that way, and the detachment of Burghers above named was placed on purpose to intercept her passage. The garrison of Woerden is drawn out on purpose to bring the above personages into that place."
Hague, June 24. Yesterday, in the sitting of the States of Holland and West-Friesland, the Deputies of the city of Amsterdam made the proposition, to charge the deputies of the province, at the assembly of the States General, "to invite the respective provinces to demand the mediation of his most Christian Majesty, in the differences that have arisen among them."—Nevertheless that proposition was made only under the reserve, that they would not depart the least from the measures taken, or to be taken for the defence of the province.
The city of Alkmaer immediately conformed to the proposition: Those of Dordrecht, Haerlem, Leyden, Goude, Rotterdam, Shiedam, Schoonhoven, Monikendam, and Purmerend agreed "To declare themselves as soon as the proposition should be entered on the register." The majority of the equestrian order, and the cities that follow their party, have taken it ad referendum . It appears, that the court of Berlin desires an arrangement; and
we look upon as a favorable omen for the cessation of hostilities, the arrival of the Princess of Orange at Amersfoort, where she arrived the 22d of this month to join the Prince. If the representation, which near friends of the Stadtholderian House may yet make to him at this crisis, military this last time, of two things, one will come pass, either that House will be ruined forever, and deprived of its hereditary dignities, at least in our province; or the Prince of Orange will make his way to absolute power.
The bold enterprise planned and executed by Lieut. Col. Balneavis does too much honor to his courage and presence of mind for us to omit mentioning the particulars of the occurrence. That officer, who had been suspended by the States of Holland for having remained faithful to his oath presented himself (in consequence of the orders of the Council of State) before Oudewater to resume his post, but they refused him entrance into the city. He got himself introduced, however, disguised in the habit of a peasant, driving a cart loaded with greens. At a signal which he made to his brave soldiers, who were acquainted beforehand with his arrival, and who waited for him on the ramparts, they came to him, and sword in hand, forced the guard of the patriots, and introduced him into the city.—He immediately marched with his troops to Col. Van Citters, the commander of the city, who was still in bed, and made him prisoner. The alarm being given the officers in vain did every thing in their power to retain their men; and one of them even was bold enough to force his way through the crowd, and present a pistol to M. Balneavis, but was happily stopped in time and made prisoner, together with many others of his comrades among whom they found a great number of French names. When Mr. Balneavis was sure of them, he assembled all the soldiers in the city, to the number of about 600, including those of the regiments of Stuart and Grenier, seized the magazines, out of which he took every thing he wanted, as well as the treasure of the battalions, and after having spiked the cannon, he went out with drums beating and colours flying.
The courage which this worthy officer shewed by going, at the almost evident hazard of his life to restore his brave soldiers to their lawful standards, merits the greatest praise, and it is not doubted but the States-General will acknowledge this important service properly. In the mean time the other party look upon this conduct in a different light, and are highly exasperated at losing their troops, and thus having their party become daily weaker. They have offered two thousand ducats to any who will bring them Lieutenant Colonel Balneavis.
June 26. We think it a confirmed matter that the Court of France has advised the pensioners to settle their disputes, adding, that she had made an alliance with the Union, and would not meddle in the affairs of any single province.

On Thursday last, Monsieur Honore Giroud, a merchant in Halifax Town, North-Carolina, shot himself with a pistol, and expired immediately.
We are informed, a man by the name of Benjamin Clarke, who resides in Lunenburg county, presented a memorial to the Court of Charlotte county, on Thursday the 2d inst. praying a relaxation on the laws and suspension of the Courts until the proceedings of the Federal Convention were known, with some illiberal reflections against several merchants to whom, we are informed, he is much indebted. But the magistrates of that Court, much to their honor, ordered the Sheriff to turn him out of the Court-house, which was accordingly done, and they treated his memorial with deserved contempt.—Clarke afterwards had the assurance to offer his memorial to the Court of Lunenburg county, where he met with as little encouragement as at Charlotte. It is said, he is one of those who were deservedly distinguished during our late contest by the epithet of Tory , and doubtless still acts under the same influence.

Extract of a letter from New-York, August 20. "The ship Hope, which lately arrived here from Canton in China, is at present up for sale. Experience, it is said, has demonstrated that vessels of 6 or 700 tons burthen are the fittest size for this trade, and it is said, a private company have it now in contemplation to build one of that description somewhere up the Hudson, upon a new and most excellent model."
New-York, September 4.
This morning, the several battalions of Uniformed Militia Troops, in this city, are to assemble on their respective parades, at eight o'clock, for inspection and other purposes. After which, they will march to the Grand-Parade, in front of the Burnt-Church, Broad-way; where, the whole will be formed in one line, in the following order, viz.
The regiment of Artillery, on the right, to be commanded by Major Reed ;—the battalion consisting of the Grenadiers of the first, and the Light-Infantry of the first and third regiments, on the left, commanded by Major Christie ;—and the battalion of Volunteers, uniformed in rifle frocks, will form the centre, commanded by Major Van Horne . Lt. Col. BAUMAN, of Artillery, to command the whole.
The line will march to the Race-Ground, from the right in platoons or sections, as the Commanding-Officer may think best; each Major at the head of his battalion on horseback.
In presence of His Excellency the Commander in Chief, a variety of military evolutions, assigned for the day, will be performed. Among which, will be the regular attack and surrender of a Fort, situated on the hill, near the house of Col. Lewis.— Major Reed , with his battalion, to take possession of the Fort, with two field-pieces— Major Van Horne to carry on the feint, and Major Christie the main attack; each to have one field-piece.
It is expected, the several manoeuvres will be performed with true military exactness, alertness, and decorum.
It is hoped, that spectators will observe a convenient distance from the troops; which, will afford
them a better prospect, and the troops a sufficient space to perform their manoeuvres. This hint will surely be approved of the genteeled part of the spectators; who will, doubtless, use their influence to prevent improper encroachments.
In the evening, Col. Bauman will entertain the citizens, with an exhibition of fire-works , on the rising ground in front of the Bowling-Green.
By a letter from a gentleman in the western country to his friend in Philadelphia, we have the following intelligence, viz.—"Last fall the Chickasaws sent a certain Captain Thomson, one of their Chiefs, to the Falls of Ohio, to express the sentiments of their nation, and of their friends and allies the Choctaws, respecting trade and commerce, which they wished to establish with the inhabitants of this country. The place they propose for carrying on the trade is at the east side of the Mississippi, about 300 miles below the mouth of the Ohio, and about 600 miles above Orleans. He said the Spaniards had solicited their trade, and offered to supply them with goods, if they would go to war with the Americans, but that they detested the proposal, and had sent him to know our minds; and would form no connection with the Spaniards, if they could have trade with us to afford them a supply, otherwise their necessities would oblige them to trade with the Spaniards. He also made an offer of five miles square at the Bluffs, to the company that might go down to establish a trade there. In consequence of the above message and overture by this Indian Plenipotentiary, some boats have already gone down to the Bluffs, and several families propose going to settle there. And if it be true, as it is said, that the State of Georgia have agreed to confirm whatever cessions of land the Indians may make in those parts, this will give great encouragement. It is proposed to lay out a town at the Bluffs; and as this is near to the Natches, which is the boundary between the Spaniards and us on the Mississippi, and is the only situation for a town, except the Natches, from the mouth of the Mississippi to 600 miles farther up, may we not conclude that it will be a very advantageous feat for trade with the Spaniards, who have for many years past carried on a considerable trade to the distance of 600 miles farther up the river, purchasing the produce at near 3 or 400 per cent. higher than we can afford it to them at the Bluffs; which, it is reasonable to expect, will induce the Orleans traders and merchants to stop here, and if so, I make no doubt but we shall, in a short time, have a very flourishing trade there, especially as the Spanish and French inhabitants on the Mississippi, being acquainted with the navigation of that river from their infancy, will, without much difficulty, bring vessels of a considerable burthen so far up.—A country is expected to be laid off in those parts very soon, by an order of the State, and the land is said to be amazingly rich; and situated on the head waters of several fine rivers, which emptying into the southern lakes and Atlantic ocean, will afford the inhabitants a communication with the West-Indies; or any other part. There is also reason to believe that the difficulties that might be apprehended from the Indians possessing that part of the country, will not be great, or of long continuance; as there is now the fairest opportunity of promoting civilization among them, their country is greatly thinned of deer, &c. a number of wealthy families among them have convinced them in a great measure of the advantages the white people enjoy, and many of them are obliged to apply to cultivation to support their families; to build commodious houses; plant orchards; and raise large flocks of black cattle, hogs, &c. they are, in general naturally well disposed; especially the Chickasaws, and earnestly wish to have mechanics among them. A number of the old ones, most probably will retain their attachment to hunting, and a wandering indolent life; but there is great reason to hope that the young ones might be brought to a more regular way, were proper pains taken, and to effect this, the most probable means seem to be, to establish a generous trade with them, entirely prohibiting spirituous liquors, so baneful, not only to Indians, but even to many of the white people; who ought, by their protection of Christianity, and the superior advantages they enjoy, to be more exemplary in their conduct. Establishing schools among them might also greatly contribute to their civilization, and prepare the way for their embracing the gospel, the powerful influence of which has been evidenced with happy effects on those nations which now constitute the enlightened and highly improved part of the world. And when we consider that those Indians are able to send 10,000 warriors into the field, as it is said they readily can, it is certainly a matter of no small moment to cultivate their friendship, though still a matter of much greater importance, to endeavour to spread amongst them the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, which has hitherto, alas! been lamentably, too much neglected."
Extract of a letter, dated Nashville, July 7. "We are at last fortunate enough to destroy that nest of pirates, posted at the Mulee-Shoals, and who have been the cause of so much calamity to this settlement for more than two years past."
"It may now be wondered at why we endured their depredations so long.—Our ignorance of what were their design, when they took possession of the place; whose subjects they were; and a respect to the connections America has with foreign powers; operated to retard our uniting to make an effort against them. We now find that the whites were a motley crew of Spaniards, Canadians and Tories, who without authority came within the limits of the United States, on a pretence to trade with the Indians, and under colour of which excited the unfriendly part of the Cherokees and Creeks to murder and plunder our defenceless inhabitants and travellers to this country and to Kentucky."
"We have killed about 40 of them, chiefly Indians, among whom we have reason to believe was the noted M c Gillivray. The prize we made is considerable in goods, deer-skins, furs and dollars."
"We set out in two parties, one by land, the other by water; the land forces made the attack, and had not a man hurt; those that went by water were more unlucky, for on their way down Cumberland river, they were fired at by a party of Indians, and had eight men wounded. Our people were off their guard close in by the shore; however they speedily returned the fire, and the Indians run off. This part of our force was intended to intercept such as might be attempting to make their escape down the Tennessee; but our land force completely surprising the enemy, prevented the necessity of such precaution."
"It was pleasing to see with what alacrity our

troops pushed forward to the attack, notwithstanding a fortification was in view and expected to be stormed; however, it was unfinished. The enemy took fright at the first onset, abandoned their works and houses, and with the greatest precipitation fled, some jumping into the river, others attempted to get off in canoes and boats; but a well directed fire from our rifles brought to the most of them.
"We intend another excursion shortly; and should Georgia and Frankland co-operate with us, we hope to be able to ratify a lasting peace with most of the Chickamaugie, and unfriendly Creek Indians, before Christmas."
It is said, the following petition has been presented, and read in the Corporation of this city, the 22d day of August last.
To the Honorable the Mayor and Corporation of the city of New-York.
The Petition of the subscribers, HUMBLE SHAWETH, THAT your petitioners not only on account of the advantage and convenience of the inhabitants of this city, and particularly of Cortland-street; but from a sense of duty to the public at large, beg leave to represent,
That there are some buildings now erecting at the lower end of the said street, by which the street or passage, laying along the south side of the slip, is greatly contracted, and thereby rendered very inconvenient to passengers in crossing the north river, and at the most public ferry perhaps on the continent, who are frequently attended with horses, carriages and baggage, as well as inconvenient to the daily carting of great quantities of lumber, and every other kind of country produce, which comes to the said slip.
That, were the obstructions we now represent, erected on private property, we should feel great reluctance to complain, because we are sensible it is frequently very difficult to persuade individuals to give up a part for the interest of the whole: But if on public property, as is the present case, your petitioners humbly conceive, that a removal thereof would not be considered as depriving any individual even of the shadow of a right. And to prove the said obstructions, to a suitable and free street and passage as aforesaid, to be thus circumstanced; we beg leave to refer the Honorable Corporation to a grant of certain lots of ground on the south side of the said street, to Abraham Mesier, from whence it will appear, that the same ground now occupying as aforesaid, to the great detriment of the public, was explicitly reserved therein for their advantage.
These are therefore to request, that the Honorable Corporation will, as the guardians of the public rights, of every part of this city, be pleased to consider the premises, and take such order thereupon for the removal of the said obstructions on the public street, along the south side of the aforesaid slip, as in your wisdom, you shall think proper to answer the public convenience, and facilitate purposes of a free open passage, and a proper street there, agreeable to the reservation in the said grant, contained as aforesaid.
And your petitioners as in duty bound will pray.
* Extract from the Grant. "That Abraham Mesier shall and will, at his own proper costs, charge and expence, build, erect and make or cause to be builded, erected and made in the said piece or parcel of ground and water lot, the whole length thereof, a good, sufficient and firm wharf or street, or pier of eighteen feet English measure, in breadth, to front to a certain street or public slip there to be made, and left leading from Cortland's-street to Hudson's-river."
The above petition was then referred to a Committee, of whom, Alderman Gilbert is Chairman, Alderman Wool, Messrs. Young, Van Zant and Roosevelt, assistant members. After this Committee makes their report, we shall favour the public with a determination of the Hon. Board, on this important subject.
An unfortunate accident happened a few days since at Rock-Hall, near Baltimore, to a negro servant belonging to Mr. Henry, the Comedian. A person who had stopped at a tavern there, on his return from Baltimore, where he had been after a runaway negro, and ready to proceed homewards, charged Mr. Henry's servant in a jocular way, supposing him to belong to the tavern, with neglecting to feed his horse while absent, and pointed a pistol at him, which immediately went off, and the contents entered the poor fellow's breast. The stranger, not knowing the pistol to be loaded, was greatly alarmed; for it seems, that several days prior to this unlucky affair, it had been discharged, and re-loaded by his servant unknown to him. Several large shots have been extracted from the breast of the negro, who lies dangerously ill. This together with similar accidents which have frequently happened, ought to caution people to be very careful how they handle fire arms.
It is impossible to review the calamities that have afflicted the eastern parts of the continent, without feeling the utmost compassion for the unfortunate sufferers, and being deeply affected with the awful lesson which they present. The rage of civil war has violated the peace and order of society; a sudden and extensive fire has wasted the capital, and the hand of Providence has sent forth a hurricane to spread devastation over the fields and the villages of the ill-fated people, all within the space of a few months! It is a useful superstition which ascribes these events immediately to the displeasure of the Deity, if it produces a reformation in the manners of mankind; and, indeed, however we may be touched with pity for the affliction of our brethren, we cannot but perceive how much it proceeds from their own misconduct.
In Europe, and particularly in England, to whose taste we so fervidly subscribe, a plain button, the colour of the cloth, is esteemed more genteel than any other: for the encouragement of the manufacturers, solely, is the metal button sported. How absurd, then, for Americans to involve their country in debt to thirty thousand pounds sterling, which sum this article alone costs us annually, in aping them in the ridiculous, octagonal, balloon or frying pan button! For shame! It is time to abandon a fashion, that disfigures our dress, and so considerably increases our difficulties. Let the encouragers of home manufactures set an example, and agree not to wear such trumpery.
A few days ago died, at Leesburg, Virginia, the Hon. HENRY LEE, Esq.
Extract of a letter from Newbern, August 22d, 1787. "We have been infested here with a number of thieves, belonging to a gang of 36 in number; of which 16 were arrived at this place; one of them has been apprehended, confined in gaol, and admitted as a State evidence: He sent for Mr. Wm. Becking, and acquainted him, that the gang he belonged to, had keys prepared for his store and cellar, and that they had been several times in the cellar and drawn liquors, & locked the cellar again; there being two different sets of locks to the door, and that the villain who had the keys, with others, were lurking about town; that the rest of about twenty, were at Wilmington or thereabouts, and that they expected to arrive in a few days with horses, and then to make a sweep through the town of all the stores. Upon which information, Mr. Becking went armed with others, and apprehended four of the robbers, and found about 20 keys with them, which were provided to open almost every store in town; and with much resistance they were safely conducted to gaol, and all chained close to the floor in the dungeon. The inhabitants have associated themselves, six of them every night patrolling with fire arms, as they apprehend a return of those that are in gaol. It is likely many of them will proceed to the northward. The one that turned State evidence has been convicted, and sentenced to be hung in Charles-town, but made his escape."
The State of Franklin has already experienced some dissention among its leaders respecting the mode of negotiation with North-Carolina, the parent State, for the establishment of their sovereignty. By one party it was proposed to temporize and to return members to the Legislature of North-Carolina; by the other it was contended that they ought to support their rights by active and forcible measures. The latter scheme of politics is like to prevail.

Mutual Assurance Company. For insuring HOUSES from LOSS by FIRE in New-York. WHEREAS the insuring of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, has been found of great and public utility wherever it has been practiced; and although societies, have been instituted in different places, yet none have hitherto been formed in this city for that laudable and beneficent purpose. A number of respectable citizens, as well for their own mutual security as for the common security and advantage of their neighbours and fellow-citizens, with the view of promoting the insurance of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, upon the most equal terms, and without any views of private or separate gain or interest, have established a company by the name of The Mutual Assurance Company, For Insuring Houses from Loss by Fire in New-York. The utility of an institution in its purpose so laudable, cannot fail to attract the notice of every citizen being of so great importance to the security of property and the happiness of families, that it is presumed that no person of prudence will be found to neglect it. The office is now opened at No. 57, King-street, where such persons as incline to insure their houses and other buildings, may, on application, receive every necessary information.

POET'S CORNER.
To a MAN of lively but unequal Spirits in CONVERSATION.
A Flaring light fatigues and blinds the eye; In lifeless shade we nothing can discern. Avoid extremes: an universal rule! Though rarely understood by any fool. Incessant laughers weary me; but then, I tire alike of dull and gloomy men. Your gloomy men, who frown at harmless glee, Were never made, my friend, for you or me. Yet still 'twere better to be sometimes dull, Than of smart things to seem forever full. A clever fellow! He who courts that name, Of solid sense will scarce insure the fame.
