United States and Foreign Nations, to be fa'd
oat of any money that may be in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, and to be applied under
the direCtion of the President of the United States,
s4llO, II necessary, is hereby authorised to bor•
row z e same, or any part thereof, an account
whereof, as spun as may be, shall be laid before
Congress.

Mr. BENJAMIN ALLEN, the venerable gentleman •
who was obliged to come into the Old Bailey, on •
Satutilay last, as a witness on the trial of the un.
fOrtUnart ANN IluttLE, has not, as was stated on
that trial, q,itted his I.lJuse above once for near
fitly years, and then only on the occasion of changing
Ibis residence. He is the' son of the person who •
• built the memorable ship called The 17;47,7, whiCh
disappeared among the Scilly Islands, with 'a pro•
digious number of men on board. This melancholy
accident had such an efFeft upon Mr. ALLEN, ;
who built that ship, that it might be said to have -j"
broken his heart. His widow, the mother of Mr.
BENJ AMI N ALLEN, struck by the loss of.the ship,
arid its effe't on-her husband, earnestly implored bee -
son never to quit her sight, lest he should be tempt-
ed to go zo.sea, and be the viftim of a similar ealamity•
The son gave'her a solemn promise ofcumpliance, and
after her death conceived it to be his duty to ob.
serve that proirdse as long as he lived. He has led
a life of•retirement, and aim-wit of solitude, for the
long space of time before mentioned, having hardly
ever admitted any body to his presence, except
Mrs. JANE HURLE, the aunt of the unfortunate •
ANN HURL E, and a former house-keeper. The
relations of ANN Hotti.e are all worthy industrious
people, whose example could only have led her to
good coodua. It is supposed that she was tempted
to think of the deed of which she has been found
pilty, on accompanying her aunt to the Bank when
the latter tv it 1-eceive Mr. ALLEN'S dividends.
Her hehaviour under her preseet "nnhapp7 condition, -
is said to be expressive of tire sincerest cootritioO
for her offence, Her parents are alive, and, of
course, are in the deepest afllffion. Mr. ALLEN also
is strongly atTetted with compassion for her de.•
plorable condition. It is hardly possible to Lone.
eeive the alarm which this gentleman must have felt.
on being taken from a scene of long and entire se.,
clusion to face the aweful tribunal of a Court
Justice, and the crowd generally assembled 'in st2clt
a el,ce. s ANN. HIJRLE has been brought up to thc, -
business of a habit.maker, in which she mlght havc, I
bf,ei? aide to acquire a- decent maintenance it sh!
had not been tiCed to the commission of a -farlile
crime, by the temptation of opportunity, which ha§
often ensnared people much older and much wislt.
than herself.
