hind, with their wood, provisions, aud every
thing necessary for The winter. Fortunate
ly for them, the day they arrived at East
Greenwich they fell in with Ar. Peleg OIL
den, who took them into his house, and
treated them with every kindness that good
man could do. But to end this affair, all
that he, my father, left behind was lost /;
partly by the British, but mostly by our
own people. A short time after, one of our
prize ships running in for Newport, was ia
ken, after receiving a number of shot, being
cut off by one of their ships near Prudence
Island, and carried back to Newport. 80
ends this cruise
Jan. I777-Our sloop Providence, is at
Providence fitting for another cruise. We
heard at Providence, that British frigate
called the Diamond had got aground near
Warwick Neck, and went down with the
Sloop, and one armed Galley. We had
two Is Founders, which were placed on the
point at Warwick Neck, which were play
ed well on her during the night; but they
started the water, and lighted her, that she
flosted before day, and went down for New
port, so the next day we returned to Provi-
dence. Soon after another ship took her
station, not so near Warwick Neck. At
the same time we had fire Brig and Sloop,
fitting at Providence. As soon as they were
reudy, we went down The river with them,
in the night, waiting for favorable time to
chain them together. The time shortly
came, when we undertook to chain them,
but a sudden breeze Of wind sprang up be-
fore we could chain, and the sloop-fre-ves-
sci got so near the ship, she was obliged to
ran ashore, near East Greenwich, aud we
sat her OIL fire rather ;hun she should fall
lute the hands Of The eGemy. The Brig
and sloop Providence returned to Provi-
dence. In day or two after, / went over
on party to Capt. Nicholas Webster's, ia
Rehoboth. While was on this party Gov
Hopkins and Com. Hopkins sen, over Cap,
Henry Dayton TO me, to come to Provdenc,
Immediately. They informed me tha, they
contemplated fixing out Cartel, to send tc
Newport, aud wanted me to take out of the
Sloop Providence two men to go with me,
as there was some prisoners coming from
Boston, and one Capt. Ayers of Boston was
to 60 Captain of the Cartel. took two OF
our midshipmen from the sloop Providence.
As he was not to know who we were, that
were going his men, from iha, time began
to let my beard grow so as to disguise me.

[Continuedl
There were many, many events accur-
red to lead the mind of Francis of Feix in
to a new train there we're many, many
motives combined to give a fresh bent, a
different object, to all his feelings, The
first of those motives was love Isabel of
Velois visited him no more, but Blanche
went twice TO see him, with her brother,
during the severe part Of his malady and
her kindness and her gen,leness-kindness
and gentlencss so pure, so noble, 50 chaste,
that even vanity itself, mans vanity, the
most inpudent and deceitful of all liars,
could not mistake aud dared not falsify
her feelings-implanted in his heart the
first germ for real love which that heart
had ever known. Though full of strong
passions, hitherto it had not known love.
The seeds that fell upon it had been of
lighter things, which grew up like shrubs
upon rock, blossomed for an hour, and
faded away.
But now, n stronger tree had taken root !:
passion-eager, ardent passion, rising from
veneration, esteem, and admiration and
how that tree was nourished by sweet sym
pathies, fostered by close intercourse, and
even rooted more firmly by the storm md
tempest of adverse circumstances, is now 10
be told.
JnIhe course Of time he became con-
valesceut; and, as soon as he was permit
ted, proceeded to offer his thanks to the
Queen Of Navarro. She was surprised to
behold the beauties and graces Of his person
restored, though he could not yet move
without support, but his illness had reach
ed the stage when it only added deeper in
terest to that excited by his noble presence
and handsome form. The admiration of
Isabel Of yelois returned and she deter
miEed, that sll the many weeks which the
surgeons affirmed must be passed in tran
guilty aud repose, ere the count could be
pronounced well, should be spent in her So
cieiy. She h,d no scruPles, and but small
difiidence; and, il there were evil passions
in her heart, she hesitsted little ut the
means employed to crafty them. She was
not without art, however; and Blanche Of
Navarro, was often called upon to sanction,
by her presence, the long interviews be-
tween the Count Of Folk and her brothers
wife.
