The United States Gun. Boat, No. 157,
1t. JoHN KERR, commander, bound to
St. Mary's in attempting to beat out at the
south channel yesterday morning, missed
stays and drifted upon the south breakers,
the wind being strong at east, and heavy
sea upon the bar, rendered itimpossible for
any boat to approach her, and the small
boat which they had on board having been
dashed to pieces by a.sea, Immediately af-
ter she struck, the crew had no other alter

time. and content ourselves with merely
detailing such of the facts attending it as
were offered in evidence before the Coro-
ner's Inquest, and are generally known.
In consequence OF some mlsunderstand-
ing, dispute took place in the market
place on Saturday morning last, between
Mr.. Moses Myers and Mr.. Richard Bow
den, in the course of which several blows
passed, and Mr.. Myers was good deal
hurt, Mr.. Samuel Myers, very promis-
ing young man, and the son of Mr.. Moses
Myers, hearing of this transaction soon af-
ter it took place, Immediately armed him
self with pistol, and going to Mr.. Bow
den's store in fit of high irritation, excit-
ed by what he had heard of the injuries Of
fered to his father, shot Mr.. Bowden,
who Immediately fell dead The unhap-
ply young man was soon afterwards arrested,
End is now in close confinement, awaiting
his trial, which we understand, is to take
place in few days.
Mr.. Bowden has lefta disconsolate wi
dow and three young children to deppre
their loss. He was an afiectiouate husband,
and indusgent father, an enteTprizing and
useful citizen.
Mr.. Bowden enjoyed the confidence and
affection of his acquaintances in an eminent
degree. To the most gentle, unassuming
manners, he added dignity of department
which commanded universal respect. E.
merging from the obscure occupation OF a
carpenter, he opened his way into the COM
mercial community, under disadvantages
which would have appalled, any other man.
But to mind ardent and enterprizing, COM
bined with a determination to subdue all
difficulties, the want of capital, of patrons,
and of education, were circumstances OF
small consideration. He soon rose into
notice, and in few years ranked among
the most successful and enterprizing of our
merchants. In the ardor of his pursuits,
he did not neglect the cultivation of his
mind from day to day his improvement
was rapid and obvious, and upon most com.
mercal subjects acquired maturity of
Judgment which entitled his opinions to
great consideration. BY his death chas m
mas been left in society which will not soon
be filed.
Yesterday his remains were inferred in
the church-yard, attendedby a numerous
concourse of citizens, soldiers and masons,
who, with pious benovolence, paid the last
tribute of respect to the memory of their
Inflated brother, whom they respected and
esteemed.

" Since l last had the pleasure of address.
sing you we have pursued the French this
length at the point of the bayonet.

magnificent palace of the Bishop, contain.
ing one of the finest libraries in PORTUGAL
was in flames and when we entered the
town nothing but exterior walls were to be
seen. The cathedral was too massive to
be burnt, but they did not omit to DESTROY
the affairs and marble fonts, and to root out
the bodies of the bishops and canons. Al.
cobaca has been destroyed as far as fire
could perform the Office. Batalia, which
any but savages would have spared, has
participated in the fate of Alcobaca but
the magnificent exterior chapter house and
cloisters, were fortunately out of the reach
of their destructive element, by which they
attempted their ruin; they rooted out the
bodies of the kings, and destroyed their
tombs."

Immediately after the legislature adj

proclamation convoking them instanter,
we presume this step has been taken in
consequence of the confused and unfnish-

OF state :" TO avoid figuring scenes" which he could
not coutroui and turn to the service of France and
his own elevation to the presidency, wel in his
philos03hic retirement OF Monticello.
The first CONGRESS-, which was assembled at New
York, unanimously resolved That our ancestors,
who first settled these colonies, were, the time Of
their emigration from the mother country, entitled to
All rights liberties and mmunites OF free and natural
born subjects within the realm OF England That by
such emigration they by forfeited, surren-
dercd lostany ofthoSe rights They also resolved,
That the foundation of English Liberty and of al
free Government, is, right the people to partici-
pate in their legislative council"
In his letter of October g. 1899, to Calender,
Mr. Jefferson SAYS THANK you for the proof sheets
ofthe Prospect before U.s., containing the infamous
SANDERS on Washington and Adamsl you enclosed to
