Of Representatives might be fixed at

forming districts-the districts to re.
main unal,6 liable, and the number of
Representatives each district should
send, to be fixed once in ten years, ac-
eording to the Census.
This plan is not now in question:
The only inquiry now is, whether the
alteration proposed by the Convention
ought to be adopted. Those who think
the improvement, in regard to the Ser
ate and Council and Representatives,
taken together, to be so great an im-
provement that the alteration should be
adopted, will vote for it. But all those
who think that either had better stand
as it is, will vote against the whole, as
it Is all to be adopted or rejected toe
gelher.
II is probable that adopting this, will
prevent any future amendmenls-but
if this be rejected, other alterations
may be made without connecting the
lhree together. PHOCION.

Singular Casualty.

Some time in the night of the 7th
inst. William Young entered still-house
belonging to John Green, Esq. about
three miles from this place, and laid
himself down on one of the stills, for
the purpose, supposed, of warming him
self. Here, it is conjectured, he fell
asleep; and, turning over, precipitared
himself into the boiler, which stands
close to the place on which he was ly-
ing. The boiler contained water, near
ly boiling hot, in which the person of
Young, with the exception Of his head
and feet, was immersed. How long he
remained in this state is uncertain. He
was rescued by Mr.. Green, who was
aroused from sleep by the sufferers
means; nor was il until after repeated
attempts that the former succeeded in
his object. He, in the first place,

Horrible and mysterious Murder i!
We have seldom read, either in the
annals of real life, or in the pages of
romance, of deeds of blood and horrour,
equal in atrocity and shocking circum-
stances, to one which has just fallen
under our notice-he particulars of
which, as far as we have been able to
collect them, we here lay before our
readers.
About the first ofthis month, two
Frenchmen came to this place from
Baltimore, and renteda small dwelling
house in retired situation, near Plume's
Rope Walk, but seldom made use of it,
and then only at night. Their mysteri-
Gus movements excied considerable
curiosity in the neghbourhood, and
even suspicious not altogether favoura-
BILE to them
Yesterday morning these two men,
and third, were observed to be in the
house, and between 8 and 10 O'Clock, a
Mrs. Lester, residing in an adjacent ten
ement, was alarmed by sudden cry,
which seemed to DE the cry of 6 muir
der - Some time after, two of the
men left the house. Mrs. Lester, under
the conviction that there was some
thing amiss going on in the house, related
the circumstances to constable, who
entered the house, and discovered a
spectacle truly horrible, and revolving
to every feeling of humanity. In a
chamber of the second story was ex-
tended on the floor the naked trunk OF
human being, Invested of its head and
limbs, and in the fireplace lay the
head, feet and hands, burnt almost to
cinders!! The arms were separated
from the body, at the shoulder joints,
and again divided at the elbows and
the legs cut apart at the joints of the
knees. Indeed, the whole internal op
GRAFTON appeared to have been perform
ed with the dexterity of skilful sur
geon. The limbs thus separated were
thrown together in a bucket. On the
floor lay an axe, besmeared with blood,
with which the diabolical authors Of
this foul massacre had dispatched their
victim, and two butcher knives, which
had served the office of dissection.
A Corners Inquest was Immediately
summoned, but no evidence appeared
which could in the slightest degree

1t is the general opinion here, that
the members of the alliance are desir.

circulated that the Peninsula will be
occupied by a'military force. 1t is e.

The Austrian army passed the Pc on

first advance to the frontiers, who will
announce, in case of resistance, that
they will be followed by 10000 more /!
His Majesty the King of Naples has
addressed a proclamation to the inhabit.
ants of the Two Sicilies, in which he
orders the immediate dissolution of the
Parliament. He also calls on them to
receive the Austrians as friends. and
promises, on his return, to give them

at the hermitage of St. Saviour, an
