power over the populace and the slaves,

subjngated all Iudea to him. He named his
proselytcs Saraccns, in memory Sarah,
the wife of Abraham. 1t was these whom
he carried against Hcralius, emperor of the
cast. He quickly conquered Arabia, Egypt
and Barbary, and caused himself to be crown

was devoted to strengthening his interest
with his people, by new inventions which he
exercised on their credulity. He died at Me

HISTORICAL F.ACT.

It's commonly said, and universally balev-
Ell, that the first bioom d,u7pn, III our rcvolu-
tionary contest with Great Britain, was on the
10Th q April, at I.ceNgton, and at Concord ;
but this is not the f.ct--it wa, in the year
l772, at Pawtuckct, miles below Prosi-
lencc, when two armed boats from the town
attacked and destroyed his Britannia M.jcs
ty's armed vessel, the CaaAea, whose com
mandc! Dad3ingston, WAS shot down, and
Who remained a cripple all his lite from the
wound. This vessel were tic colours OF the
King, and her commander lis commission.
KS this is an undoubtcd fact, why has it been
overlooked. The attack was IN the night,
the action short but severe, and those wound
Cd onour side concealed. Thus was blood first

Miss Mary Daily, female servant OF the
Rev Mr.. Sards, Of iIymcnstown, near Noun
trath, WAS entrusted BY the Postmaster with
q letter. a,ldre sscd to her master, which con-
tanned postbills amounting to 1911 l3s On
her return, She met With d youth named Ben
nett, who had previously made honorable
advances to her, and he, taking advantage af
the lonely way, renewed his amorous suit,
which he pressed with such persuasive cncr-
gy, that She was induced to consent 70 an i'm
mediate elopcmsnt. The letter seemed to
this fond and ardent couple to have been
sent by Cupid in the very nic!, Of time, to
supply them with wings for thcir am;tory
ct.ctrsion. The seal was broken without
scruplc-it being an established maxim in
the High Court OF Hy ymen, that frauds COM
m'ttcd for hrtherancc Of Matrimonial spc-
culatlons, are among the things 1T which
"Joye laughs" and ut which, in Miss Daily's
opinion, her master could not Justly be in
ccnsetl. The next best thing to getting the
notes in their possession was, the converting
them into the most convenient medium for
general circulation; and neither of the par
tics being skilled in tic my stcry Of writing,
IT was necessary to OBTAIN the assistance cf
some one that might be able and willing to
forge the endorsement of Mr.. Sands, to whose
order the post bills were made PAYABLE. An
application was made forthwith to cousin
o. the groom eXpcctant, who had enjoyed the
advantages of a collegiate education, having
studied scholastic and casustical divinity for
some years at Carlow, at the feet Of Dir. DOYLE
The thcologian, glad o. SO PORTABLE an oc-
casion to commence his career of polemics
with the Church OF England, complied with
their request, and forged the endorsement.
The notes were quickly in circulation, and
the amiabc trio had nearly completed their
preparations for a transatlantic trip. But,
ah me; the course Of true love nevcryet ran
smooth--all three were apprcheniled in the
evening, and left in charge with constable
Of police. They were immurcd together in
one apartment, where they had ample leisure
to r,lminate OH the demoralizing tendency of
paper currency, till mornng-tzvo efthem,
ataleast, (the lovers,) may haze been so en-

it appeared when day dawned had been en-
