with his wife. who suckled a young child g when

The husband, tired of hearing the continual cries of
the child, *et elatedly t Id his wife to take it up and
feed it. On going towards the child, what was her
terror in observing a serpent entering the mouth of
the innocent babe I She att►mpted to draw it out,
but it was too late: the child sea. already chocked.
At the cries of the mother. the father joined her,
over wit• has her with reproaches. and, in the anger ex-
cited in him by his paternal tend item, he struck this
unfortnnatr woman with hit sickle in sue!, a :runner
that she fell down dead upon the corpse of her child.
The wre►ched harvestman, in despair ft:e a crime
disnesed by hit heart, went immediately to Rouen,
and auteadered himself a prisoner.—(Jvcraa/ de

At Evening Paper of ye tetday states the irriral
of a allsNiiia thEcet • f Nigh FA k on itioniay, said
to be the bearer of some important arrangement
coneithled between the three Northern Power, by
which they engage to employ .heir united friers

ins the murder of the Duke .1 Essonica. We In
not know what credit is due Li this report, not being
able to trace it to any a ,:h..ntic snurce.

A respettable house in the city received with the
klaussnigh Mail of Wedne day. information that se-
veral -.tout privateers ; re fitting out at Bourdeaus,
Names, Marseilles. Antwerp, and in the Texel, in-
tended, during the winter, to injure our trade in
the European as well as the Indian seas. Six priva-
teers, from 32 to 4.1 guns. will be ready to sail
from Bourdeaux b..fore the Ist of ORober, supposed
for the tau Indies, and four privateers, of 24 guns.
are nearly complete at Nantes. destined, AC.
cording to report, to rei itorce the numerous
Frenc:i pirates, who swarm around our West-Lt-
.:is s-ttlements. At Marseilles. six other privateers,
from 12to 20 guns, were, in the beginning of last
month, at anchiu near the Chateau &If, waiting for
aa opportunity to steal away for the Levant, whilst
another squadron of priest= ens, under the command
of the famous BL AtAUAN. are equipping at Ant-
, weep. and in the Dutch ports, intended to pillage
our trade in the Cerman Sea, and in the Channel.
Mese particulars are written by an American Gen-
.leman. who is now at Hambureh. and has lately
peen travelling in France and Holland. This preda-
tory w. rf ire is more congenial with the charafter of
the Chief of Bs igands. BOMAPART t, and his plun-
derers of the Continent, than regular naval battles,
or engagements. -

According to a private letter fmm Lisbon, dated
August is, received by the last Mail, General SE-
oast, Alit was espeded there as Ambassador, in the
room of Gen. Lasses, who has gone to take a com-
mand in the army at Boulogne.
The usual number of stoops maintained by Den-
mark is 70.ASM, and about 33 ships of the line.—
Those of Sweden are 48,000, and 30 ships of the
Inc. And, according to a corred return, which
we have seen of the Russian army, made up to the
Ist of January last, that Power has no less than
308,230 soldiers. Its naval farce, some time ago,
was 'edits of the line in the Baltic, and 12 in the
/Mack Sea ; but we believe the number has been
lately increased.
Au carnet from a private letter, dated Frankfort,
August 11, says, w Two French Generals have ar-
rives! at Ilamburgh, and little doubt can be eater-
tainel of their nuertiorts, atter the treatn.ent of
Bremen. Several waggon., going to Brunswick
fair, have been seised by the French ; and. unless
Dukc of But sswict can remonstrate with tt-
tett, the whole. the value of which is consider.° i ,
must be lost. The King of Pm t.sst a's Agetrs base
?iv a the most safsfaaory assurances, that the route
then igh \Vestphalia shall not be molectd 5y the
French." _ _ _

fhe Wande.er of th: 24th gives a translation of
the ruder yublished in the London Gazette for the
blockade .of the French ports. with the following
peevish c••mment, in a note : a This blockade is a
matter of in tifercnce to France ; it will be much
more disadvantageous to England. Every thing
that tends to derange crmmerce, and to fetter its
circulation, is more burttirl to England than to
France. Its impotence to do us hurt induces it to
adapt a thousand measures, each more extravagant
:timber. It is thus that it was guilty od an
egregi.•us folly in blockading the Elbe and Weser.
by which it has sustaire4 more i.jiiry than we could
le; re done to it. Tiie system of blockading. how-
ever. entirely on iete iide, amounts to this : Breasse
sit of sear oath P,vaces will 4eve no nor: re! powers
