LONDON, April 13.
BANK OF ENGLAND.
On Saturday last an unpleasant discovery was made at the Bank of England.
Mr. Bith, of Cornhill, some time ago, sold to Mr. Cowell, Broker for the Bank, certain Exchequer Bills, which had been put into his hands for sale. Those Exchequer Bills were of course deposited under the care of the Cashier, by whom money was issued for the purchase. In the end of last week, the person now in custody, holding an office in the Bank, brought some Exchequer Bills to Mr. Bith for sale. Upon examination, Mr. Bith found those to be the very bills which he had lately sold to the Bank broker, Mr. Cowell. He was surprised at the discovery. But it occurred to him that there must be merely some mistake in the matter on the part of the Bank or its servants. He went to the Bank, and communicated these particulars. An investigation was immediately instituted, the result of which discovered, that an assistant to the Cashier had actually been of late in the practice of re-issuing, for his own private benefit, Exchequer Bills, having been bought in by the bank, had been deposited under custody.
Monday and yesterday the investigation was renewed, and prosecuted to greater lengths. The gentleman who had been unfortunately betrayed into such a breach of trust, was committed to the custody of certain of the Bow-street officers; with one of these before him, one behind and a third at his right hand, he was conducted before Brooke Watson, Esq. a magistrate, and one of the directors of the Bank. A long and minute examination took place. It was discovered, that this person, a man of modest unexpensive habits, who has been brought up from a raw youth, under the immediate care and favour of Mr. Abraham Newland, has lived, for the last fifteen years, in lodgings; and with an income of about 1000l. a year, has not apparently, been in the habit of expending more than 200l. has nevertheless embezzled lately according to report, to the amount of no less (we are assured) than 100,000l. sterling, of the property entrusted to his official care. It is not imagined that his error is to be attributed to any other cause than speculating in the funds, amid their late fluctuations, ruinous to so many of the monied interests. He earnestly entreated to be left at liberty till Monday next. His request could not be complied with. He is we understand, fully committed to Newgate, for trial. The punishment for his crime is by a late act, Death. He was likely to have succeeded his patron, Mr. Newland, now greatly advanced in years in the office of principal Cashier to the Bank. No character could be higher than his for integrity and honor. Mr. Goldsmith is said to have declared that he would have advanced him 50,000l. on his word, just as ready as five farthings.

The only mention made of Lord Nelson in the will of the late Sir William Hamilton, is in a codicil, proved with the will on Saturday last, and is in these words:
"The copy of Madame Le Brun's picture of Emma, in enamel, by Bone; I give to my dearest friend Lord Nelson, Duke of Bronte; a small token of the great regard I have for his Lordship, the most valorous, loyal, and truly brave character ever met with. Lord bless him; and shame fall on those who do not lay, Amen."

ANNUAL ELECTION.
On Wednesday, the Executive and Legislative Branches of our State government met at the State House in Boston. The re-election of Gov. Strong was ascertained by a vast majority of votes. The Hon. David Cobb was unanimously re-elected President of the Senate, and Mr. Wendell Davis was chosen Secretary; and the Hon. Harrison Gray Otis was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The strength of parties was tried in the House of Representatives by the choice of a Speaker. The whole number of votes was 200. Mr. Otis, the federal candidate, had 124, Mr. Morton 73, and there were three scattering votes. This result is such as was to be expected from the State of Mass.

CHARLESTON, May 20.
A fire broke out this morning about one o'clock, on board the fchr. Sally, capt. Gardner, of New York, lying at Pritchard's wharf. The alarm being early given, the activity of the citizens prevented the flames from spreading to the adjacent vessels, notwithstanding the difficulty of procuring water; the tide being at the lowest ebb. The fire originated in the cabin, but whether from carelessness or design is not yet ascertained; no person being on board at the time. The Sally put into this port a few days since, in distress, on her voyage from Richmond to New York; and having taken out her cargo, had undergone a thorough repair. Her quarter deck is entirely consumed; and her timbers we believe so much injured, as to render her hull unfit for repairs.

Mr. Jefferson's PAPER MONEY TENDER, TO Mr. Gabriel Jones of Rockingham county.
The following statement of facts, relating to this transaction, are made to the Editor of this paper, in a way which has obtained his entire confidence. It is a transaction concerning which much has been written—much has been published—much has been said. Those who have in any way interested themselves will be pleased to see it reduced to precision. To a community of so much intelligence, which contains so many individuals of great endowments, there can be no necessity for the Editor of this paper to attempt to give a complexion, when the facts speak so loudly and so eloquently for themselves. By this remark we do not mean to forestall public opinion as to those Editors or writers who may follow a different tract. The first duty which we owe to our subscribers is to publish

the exact truth, as far as we can obtain it, upon all subjects which either relate to the public affairs, or to the public characters of the times.
[Edit. Virginia Gazette.]
Rockingham, March 17, 1803.
Having seen in the Richmond Record some imperfect statements, unauthorised by me, relative to a transaction which took place some years ago, between Thomas Jefferson, Esq. the present Chief Magistrate of the United States, and myself, I have thought it proper to set the matter in a fair point of view by giving a true state of the facts; which should have been done ere this, had my health permitted. The facts are as follows, viz. In the month of September 1773, Mr. Jefferson made application to me for the loan of fifty pounds, which he proposed returning in a few months with thanks, &c. which sum I lent him with the greatest cheerfulness, having, at that time, the highest confidence in him as a man of honor, honesty and integrity; for which he gave his bond payable in twelve months, when I proposed that if his convenience required, he might have it a longer time, on condition that he would punctually pay the interest annually. This, however, Mr. Jefferson failed doing, nor did I hear from him on the subject until I received his letter enclosing the principal and interest in paper money, which when it came to my hand, was not worth more than one shilling in the pound. The following is a correct copy of the letter alluded to.
Monticello, April 29, 1779.
“DEAR SIR,
“By Mrs. Harvey I enclose to you the principal and interest of the money you were so kind as to lend me some years ago. It furnishes me also with an occasion of acknowledging, with this, the many other obligations under which you have laid me, of which I shall always be proud to shew a due sense, when ever opportunities shall offer.
“I am, Dear Sir,
“with much esteem,
“Your friend and servt.
(Signed)
“Th. JEFFERSON.”
I confess that on viewing the deceptive aspect of the foregoing letter and its enclosure, I felt great surprise and disappointment, that a person who stood so high in the public estimation as to be, at that time, the governor of Virginia, and who had shared so much of my private confidence; that he might have command of any sum within my power to lend, should have risked his reputation, and attempted to requite my friendship, by repaying the paltry sum of fifty pounds and interest, with something less than one fourth of the real legal interest then due thereon; which I thought not worth receiving, and therefore, on the return of Mrs. Harvey, re-enclosed to Mr. Jefferson the said paper money, together with his bond, in a piece of blank paper, leaving him to his own reflections; resolving at the same time, not to expose him until I should be advised of the result of his deliberations on the subject:—Of which I heard nothing until the 29th day of February, 1780, when a Mr. Leonard Herring, a neighbor of mine who is yet living, informed me he had taken from the sash of a window in a public house in Staunton, a letter directed to me, which he delivered to my hand. On opening the supposed letter, I found it to be part of half a sheet of paper covering the aforesaid bond. The thin cover however was so worn out at the folds and corners, that the bond was to be seen, which was also considerably fretted, especially at the corners. By whom that paper was forwarded, or how it found its way to the sash, were my obliging neighbor accidentally discovered it, I have never yet been able to learn: but, from the whole of the circumstances, I was induced to believe it might be intended, never to reach my hands—However, after sundry evasions, and repeated applications to Col. Nicholas Lewis of Albermale, to whom I was referred as the agent of Mr. Jefferson, and while he was in France, I received payment of the principal and interest.
GABRIEL JONES.
From the Cape of Good Hope.
A gentleman who arrived in the Rolla, capt. Arnold, at Providence, R. Island, from India, last from the Cape of Good Hope, has favored us with the following particulars from that quarter. Although
some of these have already been published, we have thought it proper, in order to preserve the connexion of his recital, to give it in his own words.
[Providence Pap.]
“The colony was restored to the Batavian republic on the 20th February.
The above restoration was to have taken place the 1st of January, but the unexpected arrival of the Imogene sloop of war on the 3d December, with dispatches to Lieut. General Francis, postponed it. It is rather a remarkable circumstance, that the triplicates and duplicates arrived previous to the originals, and that the latter arrived in the Puringo, the same day, that the Concord frigate brought dispatches to the colony, viz. on the 19th February.
On the 21st, a small tri-coloured flag was seen flying on the castle at day-break, at 8 o'clock the Batavian standard was hoisted under a general salute from the battery, and the British ships of war in the bay. Several public dinners were given, to which the principal officers of the former government were invited. On the 1st of March governor Jameson was installed, and on the 5th, the British, under the command of vice admiral Sir Roger Curtis, with the principal officers of the civil establishment, sailed for Europe.—The ports are open to all nations at present, on their paying an impost duty of 10 per cent. to which also their own ships are subject.
It is further stated, with a degree of confidence, that the inhabitants (the glare of pomp having vanished) already begin to regret the departure of the English. The idea of liberty has totally subsided, and the strong arm of power has already braced its nerves, and that in a most visible manner. While the English held the Cape, the toleration of religion was allowed, a piece of ground had been allotted for erecting a Mahometan place of worship, for that numerous sect, and a new chapel had been built by the Dissenters, in Long street; Behold the reverse: the Mahometans have been refused the grant, and the Dissenters a licence. Commissary General De Milt, having declared, there shall be no other place of worship than the reformed Lutheran Church, tauntingly adding, “If the churches are not large enough, I will make them,” &c. A similar stretch of power has also been made; a gentleman who was for upwards of four years an examining clerk in the Secretary's office, with a salary of one thousand and eighty dollars per annum, and who also had permission to follow his profession as a printer, has, since the English government left the colony, been peremptorily ordered to desist from printing, under penalty of prosecution by the Fiscal. This gentleman, we are informed, has strongly memorialized the Governor & Council, on this subject, but not meeting with any redress, intends seeking the protection of our country, where the arms of government are only extended to punish the guilty, and protect the innocent. Had there been sufficient time, it is probable he would have arrived in the Rolla.
The above gentleman, victim of Dutch oppression, has been employed these four years in writing an historical account of the Cape of Good Hope, which we presume will be worthy attention, as from his situation in the secretary's office, he has had access to the archives of government, from the first colonization of the Cape; and his knowledge of the Dutch language, will enable him to throw before the public, many curious anecdotes, relative to the settlement.
Most of the English merchants are preparing to leave the colony. One of them Mr. Michael Hogan, has advertised the whole of his immense property for public sale, so early as the beginning of April.”
“By captain Lasher, we understand, that advices from Gibraltar to a respectable mercantile house at Cadiz had been received, which mentioned, that a French fleet, under convoy of two 74's, had passed Gibraltar, bound for Louisiana, with 5,000 Polish troops on board.

Extracts of a letter from Bordeaux, dated April 24.
“It is certain that Mr. Monroe's negotiation at Paris is in a fair way. It is even said there is no doubt the cession of Louisiana to the United States, on condition that the latter settle all claims of their individuals against the French Republic, and pay THREE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in the bargain.”
The success of Major Lewis against Mr. Andrew Moore, is an extraordinary proof that democracy declines very rapidly. Mr. Moore has been long known to possess great influence in that quarter. Major Lewis had been so long absent, that few knew him; he was also confined by sickness. It was known that he was opposed to the present rulers, and that the president had deprived him of an office without having any other reason. There is another case of that sort, which we believe the president recollects with regret, and if he does not at this time, perhaps he will before the next election.

THE DEVIL OUTWITTED; OR, A NEW ATTEMPT AT SWINDLING.
The following very singular transaction actually occurred in a village, not many miles distance from Boston. A single Gentleman, who had a considerable quantity of specie, and who had been in the habit of accommodating his neighbors with loans of money, a few day since, had received a payment to the amount of eight hundred dollars, and late in the evening was returning home, when he was accustomed by a being, whose external habiliments, it seems suggested to his imagination the exact similitude of the Devil, & who boldly demanded of him, the sum of one thousand dollars. Terrified at this abrupt and fearful interview, the gentleman told him he had not that sum by him. The strange personage replied, that he knew he had it, and that he must let him have it immediately; the gentleman then told him that he had but eight hundred dollars by him, but that if he would give him time, he would procure the remainder of the sum required. The devil accordingly took his word, and appointed the next evening at the hour of ten to meet him at his own house, and threatened, that unless he then fulfilled his promise he would carry him off. At the same time, enjoining the most profound secrecy as to this and their future interviews. Not having the remainder of the money on hand, the gentleman was obliged to borrow the deficiency. The man to whom he applied knowing his circumstances, expressed his surprize at the request, particularly as it seemed to be of the most urgent nature; and as the gentleman appeared extremely agitated and anxious. He accordingly desired to know the reason of his application.
The gentleman immediately replied it was of the utmost consequence, and that he should be ruined forever, unless he could procure it. His friend told him he had the sum he wanted, but that he could accommodate him on no other condition, but that of knowing the use to which he would apply it. In this dilemma he wisely concluded, of two evils to chuse the least, supposing that if the essential part of his engagement was punctually complied with, the devil would be civil enough to absolve him from the promise of secrecy. He accordingly, in a very serious manner, disclosed the whole transactions of the preceding evening. His friend then gave him the money, with permission, however, to be present at this singular interview. He accordingly secreted himself, with a loaded pistol, in a little closet in the room; and at the hour appointed, this chief of Pandemonium punctually appeared to receive his money. At this instant, the man in the closet stepped out, and presenting a pistol to his breast, demanded who he was, and threatened to fire, unless he immediately divested himself of his state robes of darkness. Confound at this unexpected encounter, the Poor Devil lost all supernatural agency; he was compelled to lay aside his Crown of horns and Cloven foot; and stood exposed a near neighbour of both parties, detected in this singular scheme of plunder. It seems this man, knowing the day before that his neighbour was to receive a large sum of money, conceived this plan to impose on his superstition and credulity, and rob him of one thousand dollars. In this instance the Devil was completely outwitted, and by overlooking the eight hundred dollars, which he might probably have in this manner secured, to obtain a thousand, he lost all; and is now accommodated with lodgings in a Pandemonium little more agreeable than that where, it is said, the character which he meant to personify, resides.

A VALUABLE MILL FOR SALE.
The subscriber wishes to sell his MILL, known by the name of Clifton Mill, within two and an half miles of Dumfries, on the waters of Quantico, which is as constant a stream as any in this part of the country, and in an exceeding healthy situation; very conveniently situated to a fine wheat country, not being more than half a mile out of the way, in going to Dumfries, from the main road leading from Fauquier Court-House, Centerville, &c. (and by some thought not any out of the way at all) and a very good road to it. There are, if the purchaser chooses, 227 1/2 acres of land which may go with the mill, (except one acre which will be reserved) or a smaller quantity as may be agreed on. The mill is an over-shot, with a wheel of 20 feet 9 inches and 4 feet head, with two pair of stones. One pair of French burs of 5 feet, the other of Cologne, with every apparatus necessary for carrying on merchant business to the best advantage. The mill house is fifty feet long and twenty seven feet wide, two stories high, with a small kiln for drying corn, together with a barn, stable, cow house and lumber house, convenient to the mill. A convenient dwelling house, (not quite finished) with a kitchen, meat and corn house; the whole of which have been built within 7 years past. There are two very thriving young orchards of peach and other fruit trees. It was supposed, had not the frost killed the fruit this spring, upwards of 100 gallons of brandy might have been made from them. Should the whole of the land be required with the mill, there is another small house, kitchen and meat house, at a short distance from the former.
The situation of this property must render it a desirable acquisition to any person inclined to engage in this line of business; particularly so as it is situated so near tide water. It is deemed unnecessary to say any thing more respecting the premises, as it is presumed any person inclined to purchase would wish to see them. Nothing would induce me to part with this valuable property, but the pressing demands against me which I am anxious to discharge, therefore a great bargain may be expected. Any further information may be known on application to.
JOHN SOWDEN, Clifton Mill. Dumfries, May 27.
I will rent the DWELLING HOUSE and WAREHOUSE, on Prince street, the latter of which I occupy.
