an excellent fwimmer, he (warn with him

his back and Moulders, and to entwine his arms
around his neck, and continued to fwim with him

pear child dropped from his father's neck, and
Boated down the river as far as Catikill, where the
Welds body was loon after found. Mr. Roc tae

(having been in the water, as he thinks, nearly
an hour), was refcued from this hopelefs condition
by force people who difcovered him and heard his
cries, while they were at work in a field not far
from the river.

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 8.

Trade has been very briar for Tome time bygone,
specially to the Spanith and French colonies, not-
avithilanding we are quite deluged with EngMb
goods. It looks as if the Englith had no other
nation to fend their goods to. Brian* goods of
every fort, particularly muffins, linens, tapes, and
thread, fell far lower here, I am certain, than they
can be manufactured in Britain. The Britifh mer-
chants will find a great lots in their trade in the
United States. There have been a great many
failures in New York of late. Provifions are fall-
ing very fait.—lf there is no demand from Britain,
they will be very low this year. Our crop was
very great.
