Unexpected and Extraordinary P'eser-

that, of the l19 passengers, who, on
Monday night, were left On the wreck of
the schooner Surprise, on Barnegat Shoals
Seventy have been proyidentially preserv-
ed. Four of the number arrived at this
port this morning, in the schooner Friend
ship. Captain Leonard, fromShrewsbury.
They state, that the whole Of the number
continued on the wreck until "Wednesday
night, when the wreck separated, and
some hoated ashore on the sternpost, G.
Tiers on the counter, and others on diff
ferent fragments of the vessel.
AT daylight on Thursday morning. tie
survivors assembled from the different
parts of the shore to which they had been
driven; and on ascertaining the number,
it appeared that serenity had reached the
land in safety, and forty-niae had perish
ed in the surf. Before they left the shore,
they discovered and buried the bodies of
fourteen OF their unfortunate companions.

lowing terms :-s' am happy to inform
that letter from the Duke of Yelling
ton, brought me few days ago the vel
come intelligence that the French govern
ment had actually issued an order, prohi-
biting the slave trade by French subjects,
any where to the northward of Cape For
mora. BY this measuse protection is at
forded to 1900 miles of coast, and the
measure is the more important, because
from the shape of the coast. slaves might

In the action with the man Of war Aoiit

5 In the action with the man Of war Hone
of Captain Thorndike's crew were hurt.
Captain Thorndike informs us that con-
siderable difficulties had recently existed
between the Chinese and English. One
dispute arose from Sir George Staunton
Ia British agent at Canton, & who was in
Lord MacartheyNs embassy undertaking
to write and send presents to the Prime
Minister.-This gave great offence to the
Superior officer at Canton. Another dis
pute was occasioned. by an application
from the British forthe exclusion of Anne
ncan privateers. as men ofwar are not
allowed to ascend the river; but the Chi
nese answered, thatif British men of war
brought cargoes they might come up; and
that American vessels were not more
armed than the British merchantmen.
The English next required prize goods to
be interdicted ; but the Chinese they
neveg inquired as to any vessel, where she
got her cargo or where she brought it from.
The British threatened to fire OH the place
and the Doris frigate passed the Boca
Iisris and fired On the American schr.
iSphynx. In consequence of this dispute,
threat ard proceeding. the British vesl
sells were all ordered down the river, and
kept below 9 weeks before there was
compromise. A Chinese who had sup
Piled them with some provisions willie
below, was thrown into prison. The
British demanded his release, but his
countrymen beheaded him.
CAPT. T'horndike heard nothing of any
instruction or attempted revolution in
China.

seest thou yon girl quick dancing BY,
Chasing the painted butterfly,
Unconscious of her powerF
Little she recks oflover's sigh,
Butsports away the hour.
Dwells beauty in that frolic grace,
The airy bound, the playful racer
In look how saucey and how meek,
In modesty's soft blusbing cheek;
Now graceful woman. coy and mild,
Now all that charms us In a child!
Her halle eyes, unfx'd and bright,
Dazzle with ever changing light,
Like flames, when tossed by the
wind;
Now swimming in quick passing sad
ness,
Now laughing in her souls pure glad
ness,
The mirror Of her mind,
