yards ofa magnificent Bower, where he was
met atid it'elcdtiietl by twenty four females #-
The rest ofliis way to the Bower was strewed
with roses anti flowers. Here he was formal-

»ly addressed and welcomed in behalf ofthe
totvti by Mr. Frelingliuyseii, attorney general

,General,returned toilie house of Maj. Bondi-
'll0lI,"':ll'ltI partook ol‘a sumptuous collation.

.lizabetli_town, (where he had engaged to dine
‘and lodge,) aiid_ was accompanied by the Gov-
ernor and suite,a long cavalcade . f citizens,
and preceded by a military escort.

While at Newark, the G'eiieral was waited
upon by a delegation from Morristown, with
an invitation to visit that town,tlie head ‘quar-
ters of .Vl’asliitigton during two successive
winters ofthe most critical period of the war.
The Cunitiiittee urged their invitation in the
followiiig beautiful language.

“We can proffer no splendid military ar-
.ray ; no profuse exhibition of wealth. We
proffer that, which to the benevolent mind, is
of more value—tlie congratulations ofsincere
friendship, with a kind and cordial welcome,
to the plain liospitalities ofa free and happy
people.”

Curious Relic.—’—Previous to the departure
of Gen. La Fayette this morning, Gur.don S.
1‘u'uinford, Esq.presented to him agold head-
ed cone, which once belonged to Dr. Franklin
and which has descended, through various
hands, to the present proprietor. The presen-
tation ofthis interesting memorial was accom-
panied by an appropriate address from Mr.
Mumford, tracing the various associations
which the relic awakens. It was cordially.
accepted by the General, with assurances of
veneration and respect for the memory of its
former proprietor, and with grateful acknowl-
-edgments to the donor.-—Stalesina7i.

‘Com7ietit2'on.——A Quaker in Pliilridelphia,
addressing a Bostonian. said, “I rejoice that
thy people did not illuiniiie their houses ;——if
they had, I believe that -our citizens would
burti theirs.” -

flnother 1_{etiotttlionory General .fllive--but
in (lfSl)'6SS.—Al_lC1‘ noticing the paragraph
which announces that Gen. Snmpter, otie~of
the general officers ofthe revolution, is still
alive, (as it has‘ been often said, that La Fay-
ette was the only one_.),a writer in the Hart-
ford (Conn.)Tiuies reniat'ks—

“ In addition to the above, permit me to
declare, that editorsoftietvspapers, the people
and government itself seem also to have for-
gotten Geti. William Barton, of~Provideticc,
R. I.; who, instead ofbeiug ‘ surrounded by
his grand ch'ilt‘ircti,’ is, to _tliis day, atid has

-been for twelve sttccessive years past, impris-
oned for heavy bills of costs, - in the town of
Datisville, in the state of Vermont! _This

in the year 1777, at the risk ofhis reputation
and life, planned and carried into effect the
bold enterprise ofcapttiring Maj. Gen. Pres-
cott oftlie British army, whose head qtiarters
at that time, were on the island nfR. Island.
The chiefobject of this tindertaking. was to
obtain a British officer of equal rank with the
Ainerican—Geu. Green, and tiltiiiiately with a
view to effect the exchange of that’ valuable
soldier,‘ who had been taken the preceding

year.——For this heroic act he was presented '

with a sword, and received the thanks,ofCon-
gress. But. is this etiotigli ? How many
thousands would have been paid for the re-
demption ofGreeti ?; Shall the venerable old
patriot be suffercdito linger outthe remainder
of his days, deprived of that liberty and those
privileges, to obtain which, lie perforuied so
niucli,and risked h_is all? Forbid it ourcountry.

FOREIGN NEWS.—By an arrival at .

Boston, London papers to the 17th August
are received. They confirm the melancholy
intelligence ofthe capture ofthe Island ofIp-
sara by the Turks. On the 3d July the cap-
taiti Paclia began acantionade from his 14
frigates,wliicli in 3-hours dismounted the Gre-
cian batteries, and the Ttirkish troops to the
number of 14,000 .latided. The Greeks all
retired toa strongly fortified fort, which was
also attacked by the Turks, and soon after
blew up, whether from design or accident is
not known. An indiscriminate slaughter cotn-
inenced, and nearly allthe Greeks perished.
The 'I‘ui'kish - commander pretends that he
could not prevent the violence ofliis soldiers.
A private letter attributes the fall ofthe place
to the corruption ofthe soldiers in the garri-
sons, who, upon protnise ofbeing rewarded by
the Turks, spiked the guns. The same letter
states that near 8,000 heads of women, old
men and children were hung to the shrouds
and yards ofthe 'I‘urkis‘h ships.

The seat of the Grecian Government is fix-
ed at Napoli de Romani. The Turks from
Negropout, had ‘effected a latiding on the
neighbouring coast and _ penetrated as far as
Athens, but failed in gettiiigpossession ofthe
citadel. Outer Paclia, who conitiiaiids the

_Turkish troops in \’Ve,stern Greece, is stispec-
ted oftreason, and re_mains in inactivity.

The acc_ounts fiorri Madrid, are to August
19.. Spain is overrun with Banditti. They
are partly young men who, to escape the law
which obliges them to perform military duty.
have turned liighwaynicn. It is very dange-
rous travelling. Some volunteers fr. Toledo,
attacked a band oftherri, but were worsted,
having 15 wounded.

The Haytieii Commissioners would not
surrender to France the right of establishing
it iuilitary post on the Island,and consequent-
ly nothing conclusive had been done in regard
to the acknowledgenient of their independ-
ence. The coinmissioiiers were about to em-

 

bark frotn Havre to Hayti.

The Canal Lock at the entrance of the Al-
bany BaStn,Which gave way some time since,
has been taken down and rebuilt. It now
stands on a permanent fotiiidation.

Canal Reveiiuc.——'I‘lie revenue from the
canals, it is expected, will thisyear exceed
$250,000, ,and the revenue from the Salt
Springs $100,000. . -

The Yello\v'Fever was raging at N.OrIeans
on the 23th ultimo, and tiiost of the strangers
were leaving the place. ‘ -

Nine cases of Yellow fever were reported
at Cliarlestoii on the 16th inst.

The City Council of New-Orleans, have
authorized the Mayor and Recorder to ad-
dress a letter to General La Fayette, inviting
him hither as soon as they may hear of his
arrival in the United'Stiites ;—aiid have ap-
pointed three alderinen oftlieir body to re-
ceive liitii. The Mayor is likewise authoriz-
ed to make suitable preparations for _liis recep-
tion, and to draw upon the treasurer ofthe
city, for all sums of tiiotiey necessary to the
accottiplisliiiieiit of this object. It is to be
hoped that such arrangements will be tnade
upon this occasion as will coinport with the
dignity, and with the feelings of a grateful
people. Let every thing be in tlietrue repub-
licaii simplicity: but let it be of the very best
qticlity; for General La Fayette never spared
his best blood in defence ofour liberties,wlieu
the times that tried ine_ns souls, called it forth.

The trial ofSelh Hunl,.Esqr. for a libel on
Jonathan Russel, Esqr. was expectedto have
come on yesterday in the Court of Sessions,
btit was postpoiied on motion of the counsel
for the prosectttion, on the account that a ina-
terial witness was absent from ill health, and
that the commission which he had consented
to be taken out, on the part ofthe defendant,
about two years since, for the exaiiiiiiation of
witnesses in England, had not been returned.
The counsel for Mr. Hunt opposed the delay,
which they alleged to be oppressive, and tie.
clared that their client was ready to go to tri-
al without the commission which had isstied
for.examinat'ion of witnesses in England.-——

Wonderful Preservalz'on.~On Monday the
6th itist. w_liile a young woman was attenipt-
ing to draw water from a well of Dudley Nel-
son, of Giltiianton,tlie board on which she
stood broke; and she, together with the frag-
ments of the board and a tin pail, were pre-
cipitated to the bottom ofthe well, which was
28 feet deep, at the bottom of which were 5
or 6 feet of water. Mrs. Nelson, who ll11ll1e-
diately learned what had liappeti_ed,was under
the necessity ofgoing a considerable distance
for lielp,and expected on returning to find the
unfortunate young woman lifeless at the bot-
tom of the well ;—-but they were very inttcli
surprised on entering the ltottse to find that
she had succeeded in climbing the distance of
twenty-eight feet, and extricating lierselffrom
her perilous $llU£1ll0ll‘\l'Ill10l1~t any aid or as-
sistatice. The above metitioiied well was
stoned, oftiticoiiimon dimensions, and was
unprotected by any curve. And to the‘aston-
ishment ofallshe was not essentially injured
—took no cold, and remains as well as usual,
notwithstanding she went under water twice
before she made out to grasp any thing to
which she might keep herselfabove water un-
til she had time to rest and collect her tho’ts.
But she appears to have a very iniperfect
knowledge how she came to. the top of the
well, or how she kept herself above water.
