Ind sometimes Jy I" Water !"
BY tracing the course of the late
desolation by freshet in Vermont, it
has been discovered that the principal
works erected for American nlanydc-
tares have been particularly marked
for destruction. This proves TO de-
monstraton, -hat 40e before snshected
that he British, who are jealous Of orr
indefaendence n, their markers, have
brought the freshet upon as, and been
the cause Of this mischief. VIII the
Federslists their agents and atoiogisss

se'tial injury ?"
The circumstan,ial evidence OF her
hostility TO our manufacturers, is alone
sufficient 10 establish the above fact in
the minds Of all those who are not alb
solltrly blinded by " British Influence
but who can have the hardihood &c
doubt, when it is known, that the ma
ferials which composed this sremen

woRcEsTER, SEPT. ID.

On Monday OF last week, John Spur
and Jonathan Davis, Esqrs. appeared
at the first CALL" to discharge their
duties as associate Justices Of the new
Court Of Sessions for this County. AZ
ter long and impatieRt waiting for the
other members, three only Of the fOe,
the complete number, having been ap-
pointed, they dispatched messenger
to Rutland, to inquire Of mr. Justice
WhIfe the cause OF his deIay-when be-
hold, 1t was found, that the Gentleman
had qnarretled zoith his bread and baE-
Ter, and had actually hurled back his,
crast into the teeth Of the Executive.
In this qusndary" they adjourned to
the second Monday in October next,
when Court will convene composed
OF members who, no doubt, will more.
highly appreciate the value Of Execu-
tive fayours.

I" ObtngnQtion. .

We learn that one of the Gentlemen
lately appointed an associate Justice Of
the Court Of Sessions, mas entered an
appeal to the dear feotie, from the A.
ward rendered him, by the Executive,
IN full for his claims on the score OF
both merit and services. As firomo-.
ZION is the grand object ofthe leaders os
the party, 1t was not to be expected
that reappointment to a service, which
he had alTesdy found abouncing in
neither honor nor profit, would satisfy
the cravings Of this sturdy Office seeker.
Nor does it lessen our respect for our
foil blooded Republicans 10 learn, that
this very honorable Gentleman has
sent his nephew through tie COUNTY,
TO obtain Petitioners in bis favour, for
the goodly Office Of High ShrriE.
AT the last dates from France (Aug.
l3) the Emperor had adopted no per-
manent and general measure favourable.
10 the American Trade, notwithstan-
ding he has every inclination /. 1t CAM
not be doubted he has the .tozrer.
The accounts of the exclusion Of
British ships from all the ports OF the
Baltic, as published in French papers,
are ridiculous to persons acquainted
with that trade. Enher the Emperor
hoaxes his subjects, Of he is hoaxed
himself.
