MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

Extract ofa letter from gentleman at Bath,
TO his friend in this foson, dated .Aagusf 8.
"I Witnessed very distressing scene yes
terday morning. Abou, one o'clock, house
occupied by Mr.. PARSLEY ~ tavern, was
discovered TO be in flames 8 or 10 dodgers
had to escape out of the windows. Mr.. p.
Threw bis two youngest children out OF win
dow. Mrs. p. and himself then jumped cut,
leaving one boy, aged IL, and two girls, aged
10 and 9. Mrs. p. could not move, Mr.. p.
Immediately called for ladder but, to his
inexpressible grief, he found none, and the
flames spreading fast, his three eldes, children
were soon heard no more. The last words
they said, were Mofher, save ns."-.The par
ents were thus stript ia moment of three
lovely children, and all their property, all they
saved was one table. This misfortune Is the
more lamented by the public, as the children
we're beloved by all who knew them, for their
beauty and amisbJe manncrs.--The parents
grief is indeseribsble. Mrs. p. was much
hur; by her fall, bu. there are some hopes Of
her recovery"

Rafs."-It is amusing to read the shres0d
semarkes Of the federal papers on "the de.
sertion of the ship Of state by two or three
Republican members,while large number Of
federal Congressmen have declined a re.clec-
tion. Nessrs. Troup of Georgia, Grundy
of Tenne ssee, and M'Kim of Maryland, have
notified their determination TO retire to private
life. Their places will be supplied by good
men and true.' But alas who shall bi east
the shock Of danger, and ward OF impending
ruin from our country, when such fofriofs az

and Jackson of Rhode Island, &C. Sc. shrink

in danger Of sinking !-Prov. Pat.
A British unofficial account Of the late bat
tie at Bridgewaier, has been pnblishedin Mon
treal. It claims the victory, and states the
British force at only goo men, although it
acknowledges Gen. Drummond joined Risll
with 1900 men during the engagement.-It
teens with gross and palpable falsehoods and
sxaggerations. The Montreal papers had
previously stated that Risll's force, 9 doys
tefore the battle sook place, was 1000 strong;
that reinforcemen,s were continually arriving;
and that Gen. Drummond was expected short
ly to Join him with large reinforcement from
Kingston Esser Register.
The capture ofa British General and num-
ber Of officers and privates, is, Of itself, sig
nal victory, glorious achievement, tn hard.

BOSTON, AUGUST l6.

Extract Of letter from Washington City,
dated august oh.
The expected proclamation convening
Congress next month has at length appeared
The considerations inducing that very pro.
per measure are not difficult TO be conpre-
hended. Government know not at what mo-
ment they may receive the result of the ne
sociation at Client. If that result should be
treaty, no delay ought to take place In its
ratification or rejection, and the presence Of
Congress is on thar account necessary. lion
the contrary, the progress Of the negotiation
should disclose dispositions on the part OF the
enemy presenting an insupera5le bar TO an
honorable peace h this time, speedy addition
al provisions will become essential to strcng-
then the security to the present and future
creditors of government for their punctual
payment OF the interest and final reimburse
ment of the principal of their loans, and 10
place the public credit on a still more firm
and solid footing, by authorizing the laying
OF additional taxes, and pledging the resour-
ces of the nation in tae most satisfactory
manner for the redemption of the nations en-.
gagemets.-Other military and naval prepar-
atoms than those hitherto authorized, would
also be necessary and il Is highly probable
come before Congress"
