OBSTINATE CONFLICT,

The following article (says late Liver
pool paper) dated Faro, June IL. was re-
ceived by the last Lisbon mail" An Al
gerine corsair, full Of men, was lately sunk
offCape St. Vincent's, by two Portuguese
men Of war, after most desperate and
bloody conflict Of nine glasses, wherein vast
numbers were killed on both sides. The
rover maintained the action with great firm
ness, and such undaunted resolution, that at
one time it was doubtful whether she would
not have beat them both of, notwithstand.
ing the superior odds against her. The
Portuguese behaved manfully and offered
togise quarters, provided they would strike,
which generous and humane offer, the pi-
rates did, with horrid imprecations ,disdain-
fully refuse ; and so revengeful were the in.
hdels 10 the last, that they fired grape and
partridge shot from the deck and small arms
out Of the tops into the men Of war, as they
were going down, which did deal of mis-
chief amongst the Portuguese. Both the
ships wer severely shattered-one had
several shots between wind and water,
which made her very leaky, and her sails
and rigging almost cut TO pieces the other
had her foremost and bowsprit carried a.
way, with part Of her starboard bow, and a
large shot vent Is inches in her mainmast.

ORIGINAL .SEcpoTE OF FRANKLIN.

ORlGINAL hNESpOht VI
In the newspaper which Franklin esta-
bl;shed, soon after he domiciiated him
self in Philadelphia, he once took occasion
TO auimadvert with much freedom upon
the conduct of an old and respectable in
haitian! Of the city, whose public course
did not accord with bis views Of proprle-
~. The attack produced strong sensa-
ton, among the friends of the gentleman in
question, some Of whom proposed that an
interview should be had with Franklin, in
order to admonish the young adventurer in
regard TO what they had deemed an i'm
proper liberty. Franklin acceded readily
tothe proposal, and accordingly requested
several of his patrons to sup with him on
particular eveniur. They waited upon
Inn at The line appoin ed ;land of The guests

Luke Morris and John Biddle are recol-
iected.
Previously 10 being called to supper,
they entered into friendly conversation
with him on The object oftheir visit. They
were presently introduced into an adjoIn-
Inc room in which table was spread CO.
vered with a coarse cloth, at one end of
VIII CD stood large stone pitcher filled
will yater at the other, huge pudding
and beside each plate penny earthen-
ware cup.--Frankiin pressed bis friends
10 be seated and proceeded to help each
of them to slice of the pudding, with e.
very appearance Of earnest hospitality
Having served them all, and desired them
to gil their cups with water and be jovial,
he himself began to eat heartily. His
guests tasted, and tasted again, but could
not swallow his pudding. Franklin OBJ
serving this begged them TO be assured hat
another pudding would soon be served up.
No one. however, except himself could eat,
and they sat looking at each other with an
expression Of lively surprise .-Franklin
then rose from his chair and said--Ih:s is
,av-dust pudding can eat it, though
you cannot--and he who can subsist upon
saw-iust pudding and water, needs the
patronage of no man" They all laughed
and parted good friends.

GOOD BUMoUR.
The lip that with cheerfslness plays,
The eye that serenely brightens;
More accor,is with nay soul,
Than the swiit-aashing roll
ofthe eye that necessarily lightens;
FOR tho gaiey often may crimson the
cheek,
It's transient iluminings never can speak
Half the soft stealing transport the eye can
impart,
When it tells that good hGaosr presides
Ger the heart.
The heart that is guilefess, the conscience
that's clear,
Alone can possess this great treasure |;
For no dark murky mind,
That TO guilt is inclin'd,
In its peaceful serene can find pleasure
Then oh may ever he my happy fate
As I pass through this varied and trouble
some state,
To correct the iii passions that rankle the
heart,
By the means which good humour" can
always imPart. e. w.

The fact is not perhaps generally known,
that the cession, by this Country, OF the
two Floridas TO Spain, in 1888, was made
as a substitute for Gibraltar, the restitution
of which we had before formally promised.

following curious account Of this transac-

hands Of the person himself who negocia-

Unfortunate Occurrence. On Thurs.
day evening last, about nine o'clock, the
Post Chaise, on its way from White Hall
to Albany, was upset about mill and a
half from Lansinburgh and four pas
sengers out OF seven, were considerably,
but not dangerously injured. The pas
sengers, finding that the driver, who had
then driven only mile and half, was
intoxicated, refused to enter the Coach
again, and proceeded to Troy in wag-
gon, where they took lodgin s for the
night. At Troy Mr., Latin a tavern
keeper at Gibbonville, placed himself on
the box of the post chaise. When the
carriage passed the bridge below Gibbon-
vile, it is supposed that one ofthe wheels
must have struck some large stone or
other obstruction in the road, and the
carriage being in full speed, threw the
driver from his seat; at which time he
recollects that Mr.. Latin was still sitting
beside him, but supposes he also was
soon alter thrown from the carriage, and
became entangled in the harness, in
which manner he must have been drawn
for several rods. The horses still ran for
some distance, when one of the wheels
getting into gully on the margin of the
river, stuck fast--the pole of the car
|riage separated from it, and the horses
stood still. About 4hours afterwards both
the driver and Mr.. Latin were found
in the road or 10 rods apart, and the
later dead, and the former very severely
injured.
