Francisco, captured some month, since by
Com. Daniels, and who were at that time
released on parole.
The editor OF the Iris observes, Com.

and that the enemy as great; that the cor

Such is the summary of the favorable IN,
telligence received by the schr. Eclipse
at New York, but we are inclined to doubt
the accuracy of that part OF it which states
the Liberator Bolivar to have given up his
intention OF marching an army to the assis
lance of the Patriots in Peru. We con.
ceive that this statement alludes TO his
FIRST generous offer of four thousand men,
noticed in the Gazette of Monday, which
the Peruvian government met with eva
sive and impolitic Coldness, and not to the
military organization and arrangements in
progress at GuayaqLil in the middle Of
March. We are induced to believe that
Bolivar maintained his intention of succor-
my Peru, and that be has actually march
ed from Guayaquil for the purpose.

DISTRESSING FIRE =!

FRepERIcKsBURG, (Va.) June H.
On Monday last, about one o'clock IN
the morning, our town was again vlsi'
ted by most distressing and awful fire.
1t originated in the large stable belong
ing to the Farmers Hotel, occupied by
MIR. James Young. which was 80 rapid.
ly consumed, that 20 of the horses
within, most of which were very vnlua.
BILE, persisted IN the flames. An djoin-
ing stable, owned by MIR. Horace Mar.
shall, soon shared the same fate. This,
however, was but the beginning OF the
destruction that was to follow. The
wind, which was unfortunately high,
and blew from the North east, coon
carried the flames to the main street,
thence from the corner house occupied
by Robert Gibbs, until they reached
tho lowest house of the old Brick Build.
imgs, their progress was not stayed IN.
til every front tenement on that eide OF
the street became heap Of ruins. On
the opposite side, the fire was commu-
nicated first to the wooden tenement
belonging to Thomas Carey, which to.
gether with all the front buildings be.
low it OIL the square, were soon redu-
ced to ashes. Owing to the great ex-
ertions of the citizens Of Fredsricks
burg and Falmouth, with the assistan nee
of the Engines. and the companies at.
tached tothem, the flames were here
happily arrested. Had they have reach.
ed the Indian Queen Tavern, on the
one side, or the tenement occupied by
Major Wiglesworth, on the other, both
large wooden buildings, most OF the
lower end Of the town must assuredly
have been destroyed. The number of
dwelling houses burnt is fourteen, and
all insured, to the amount, we are told,
of &c, 900 dollars. Several individuals,
however, have lost much of their furDi.
ture, goods, &c. and we cannot but
sympathise with some of our travelling
country friends. whose horses were
burnt to death. One gentleman we
know to have lost his carriage aud two
500 hnpsas-
Ii is no. alienation to our feelings to
say, that this coufagration can be &C
counted for in no other way than as
the work of an incendiary. There are
no circumstances to lead Us to believe
it the effect of accident. Let the wretch
who perpetrated the dark deed, survey
the ruin and devastation he has produ-
ced, with all the malignant Joy of which
his guilty heart 10 capable; or let him
riot on the paltry gain he has plumber
ed from the distressed victims of his
owe tiend.like barbarity; but let him
remember at the same time. that JUS
tice, however slow in its approach, will,
sooner or later, certainly overtake
him.
The following are the names of the
persons who occupied the houses that
were consumed Robert Gibbs. leath-
or store, James @. Johnson saddler's
shop; John MAJOR, tallow chandler
Richard Johnston, dry good store; Ha-

SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE "A.

Extract from the opinion of learned and pa
tent judge.
In exercising the jurisdiction granted to a
Justice OF the peace. much must depend upon
the temperance and discretion Of the magis-
trate. He should, however, always have it
suppressed upon his mind, that as his decision
may be final, too much circumsPection cannot
be observed, IN producing fair and impartial
trial. He ought to guard against the infiu-
ence which either the station of the parties, or
the love of popularity, or of gain, may possibly
have on his mind. Sufficient notice Of the
time and place appointed for the hearing Of the
parties, should always be given.
