committed on our flag by British ships of
war, neither my passions nor PreJudices
had any agency in this affair.
To my country, am well convinced of
the importance OF the transaction which has
imposed upon me the necessity of making
you this communication must, therefore,
from motives of delicacy, connected with
personal considerations, solicit that you
will be pleased to request the President to
authorize formal enquiry to be instituted
into all the circumstances as well as into
every part of my conduct connected with
the same.
The injury sustained by the ship under
my command is very trifing, except to the
fore and main masts, which before men,
toned: no person killed, and but one "a
boy) wounded.
For further particulars refer you to
Capt. Caldwell, who is charged with the
delivery of this com munication.
have the honor to be, with greatrespect,
sir. your obedient servant,

Take Notice.

THE subscriber has, heretofore (from a
ball-alley being situate near his lot)
been put to much trouble, and suffered con-
siderable injury, from sundry persons who
assemble in an Improper manner, and com.
init dePredatlons upon his property, by
climbing over his fence and running thro'
his garden, in search after balls that are
thrown from the said alley into it--Hc there
fore finds it necessary, to give this notice,
that he is determined not to submit any
longer to the like offences, but will most
assuredly prosecute any and every person
who may hereafter be guilty of them.

To the Public.

GOULD my feelings be burt by the as
~ severations of George Wildly, whom
| blush to acknowledge my husband, they
certainly would be much injured by the adj
vertlsement that appeared in the last Ga-
zette, bearing his signature but his cha-
racter is so well known, that no uneasiness
can possibly result from it. For number
OF years have received the most barbarous
treatment from him have been abused
in every way; have been beaten until my
life was almost despaired of. and the cries
forced from me by pain, have alarmed the
neighbours so as to give them room to sus-
pect | was about to be murdered !; on one
particular evening he jumped upon my
breast with his knees, and the pressure
caused the blood to gush out of my mouth.
could relate number of other instances
of his cruel conduct towards me, but
think it unnecessary. What have stated
here is not to be considered as proceeding
from revenge for his savage treatment
they are facts that can be established by
respectable testimony. | think this suf-
hcient cause for my leaving him, but this
is not all at the time left his house, he
ordered my little son to push me out of the
door in which l was standing the child
refused to do so, and burst into tears, and
he took the trouble to do it himself. AS
to the articles he mentions my taking away
with me, they were mine, earned by my
own labour. and thought myself entitled
to take them--A number of articles which
| brought with me to him, he has forcibly
taken away. think, from this statement,
| am justified in the eyes of the public.

THE FIRE AT NETWORK,

The congregation of the Scotch Church
were attending to an interesting discourse
the preacher was pourtraying in very i'm.
presslve manner, the precarious and uncer-
tain tenure of all terrestrial possessions, and
was adducing, in support of his positions
the very FIRE that was at that moment raging
in distant part of the city, when a wo man
wrlnging her hands and agitated beyond
description, entered the door and proclaim
ed aloud that the Church 10 which thew
were assembled, was enveloped with
flames. The CONSERVATION into which the
preacher and his audience were Instantly
thrown, can be more easily imagined than
described. BY the immediate exertions of
the congregation, the flames were extin.
gnished, and the Church preserved, with
but little injury.

Capt.. Smith, has arrived at annapolis, with
Mr.. Pinkney on bard.
We understand that the conduct of com.
modore Rodgers in repelling and chastis-
ing the attack SO causelessly and raskly
made on the United States frigate Presi-
dent, by the British ship of war " Little
Belt" has the appreciation of the Presl-
dent of the United States and that the
request of the Commodore for an investi-
cation into his conduct on the occasion has
not been acceeded to, his known candor
and honor precluded any doubt of the cor,
rectness of his statement of the circumstan.
ces of the affair. And we assert that it
may confidently be expected by our naval
commanders, that in supporting the digni-
ty of our flag, they will be rewarded with
the applause of the American government
and nation. (Nat. Intel.
1t is understood that Com. Rodgers or
ders required him to proceed to sea imme.
diately from Annapolis, and resume his
former station, cruising along the CO ast, as
before, for the purpose of guarding our
maratime jurisdiction from violation by
foreign cruizers. Ibid.

superior, to that from Nova Scotia.

discounts more readily obtained there than at
