sc The Adriana got fate to her moor
ings yeiterday fhe lad a remark ao,e
good and quick pafage, having trick
ioundings in twenty three days, nothing
happened of any confequence, until fhe
got up as high as FalkRon, clofe in with
the land, when ihewas boarded by pri-
vateer belonging to your good and f1lexdzy
allies the Frea eb, between two and three
O'Clock in the morning. The privateer
lugger run alorgfde of the Adriana, and
put Is armed men on board, who imme-
diately drove the captain and people be-
low, afterwards carried the fhip crofs
Channel over to the coat of France during
this time they pillaged and plundered
every thing they could lay their hands up
on deck, and in the cabin where they got
hold of fome Of the coffee and fugar, tore
up the American flag and made fathes for
them1elves, dainn'd it for an I'm. I, Am.yi-
can hoifted out both boats, the long boat
was full Of ffaves which they threw over
board in the mott wanion manner, fays up
wards of a thoufand-and they were on
the very eve of breaking open the matches
to plumber the Cargo, when fevere gale
Of wind Came on, which prevented them.
They were iuch ignorat poor devils that
they did not know what to do with the
fhip; had they kept poHeflion one quarter
oflan hour longer, all hands would have Pc
rifhed on the Sand Banks, near Bologne,
the breakers were leen little to leeward.
Finding that they were baked of their
prize, they gave up the fhip to captain
Fletcher, who by mere dint Of good ma
nagement, got clear off the Ra/cally Coat,
and brought her fate into the Downs.
They mad a bon prize of the Ya1vl, few
Fouls, &c. which they took from the ca
bin. Their plan was to have got as much
ofthe cargo as they could on board their
own veAel."

A MIDNIGHT REFLECTION.
TINE that exifted ere the world BEGAN.
Ere natures God, from duff, created man.
And law the womb ous forming Of the
fixes,
Saw worlds Of light from ancient chaos
rife,
Purfue his courfe, with ever rapid wing.
From Spring to Autumn, Autumn to the
Spring:
And while we on, progre0ing to the tomb.
One day babe, the next in youthful
bloom;
Inc next we droop, the toll Of day is DER,
ne one eniulng we are feen no more.
Meantime, the tyrant Death, with pow
erful fway, -
triumphant bears the blooming youth
away;
Nor waits for Time to filver DER their
hair,
AS tho impatient of a prize 70 fair.
Five months has icarcely flown Gncc the
fad morn,
When dear Eliza, from her friends was
torn;
Without herald to proclaim war,
Death came and conquered, victory grac'd
his car.
And while Tines fteady hand fupports his
glafs,
Ere many days, or circling hours doth
pats,
The pale fac'd tyrant, with brow fevere,
May claim Lavinia, whom hold as dear:
When e'er that period comes, as come it
mutt,
For even her dear form will fall to duff,
When life's dim tapor twins within her
eye,
Oh may fhe fweetly, and ferenely die,
Her future peace ieal'd, and recorded where
Her fpirit freed, would inRantly repair,
By feraphs waited on the wings of love,
And join the blef, celefial choir above.
An hour my haplefs voyage will too be
DER,
A day at mott, and I ihall be no more;
My eyes will cloie, no more behold the
light,
Shut out each darling Object of the fight ::
Zen now perhaps, the iythe OF Time is
drawn,
And | may die, ere that the mornings
dawn
Invites the grand, the glorious orb of light
To chafe away the vapors of the night.
How fands the tcf, am prepaid to die !?
Would my immortal fpirit reach the Ky !!
Why thinks my heart, if all is right
within
Oh if there's any cherifh'd, darling fin,
Produce the idol, bring it to the light,
And bar the gates of everlsfting night.
MYRA.
Alex. January Is.
