fehooner Mary Ann, who arrived here
yesterday, in xfi'days from Cape Francois,
that on the 14th and 15th of MaY a general

was said, generally , throughout that part
of this ill-fated island under the dominion
cf Deffalincs. The particulars of this
tragical event ate briefly these ;
Some time previous to the 14th of May,
the greater part of the white French inhabi
tants cf Cape Francois, were ordered un*
dcr some pretence to a fort abcut 3 leagues
from the town, and there cor fined. On
the night of th« 14th the residue cf these

of opinion, however, that implicit credit
cannot be attached to them.
Schiedam, April 15.
M. de Talleyrand, nephew of the French
minister for foreign affairs, arrived at Auf
burg on the 15th inttant, from Vienna,
with the news that the Ruffians had evacua
ted Cattaro and Ragufa, and that the
difficulties which had arifenwiih the hoofe
j of Austria ofl this fubjeft, had been ad
jutted. I
A German paper contains the following
very important article, dated Munich, A
fpril 13-—“ Wc have received very agreea
ble difpatchesfrom Petetftiurg. The erape
f rpr Alexander has recognized the royal
| dignity in the houses of Bavaria and Wur
temburg, and is disposed to treat with
! Franc® for peace, under the mediation of
Prulli i. In confluence of this the Bavari
an army is about to be put on the peace
fftabbfhment, and the departure of their
Majellics for Milan and Paris will take 1
place immediately.
The firnt of the charges made by Mr.
' Paul in the Britilh Haufe of Commons,
April 22, against the Marquis of Wcllefly,
i late governor-general cf Beugai, amounted
to this ;
That the Marquis of Welleflcy, irftead
of watching over the interests of his employ
ers, had acted in a wafieful and extravagant
manner, and as an arbitrary and oppretfive
matter.
That owing to his dedications the Eatt-
India Company aie indebted to the Brittti
government, above Jix millions tterling.
That when he went to India in 1798, he
found the debt there amounted to me mi Him
one hundred and tbirtj.tnue thousand and
twenty.eight pounds tterling ; and that when
he was fuperceded by the marquis Cornwallis,
the said debt amounted to thirty.me millions
tterling.
That the Governor-General's salary was
,£55,000 tterling; but that owing to his
extravagance, and his love for pomp, par
ade, magnificence and Iplener, and the luxu-.
ries of the table, the Marquis Wellclley
had expended £ 120,000 tterling per annum.
Mr. Paul's motion fordacuments to (up
port his charges, was not fccondcd in the
boufc of commons—conftquently the Mar
quis escapes an impeachment, she members
believing him to be innocent.
Intelligence received at Button, from
Halifax, dates, that the cargo of the (hip
John and Francis, from Bordeaux, bound
to this port, kad been condemned, exceping
the captain's private property—veflel dtarad.'
~ T
fachufetts have done honor to themselves,
and credit t* good principles, in unanimous
ly obeying the public voice, and declaring
Mr. Strong governor. We were under an
, apprehension that the principle of retaliation,
so jaftiSable in war, but so dctefiabla in
Ugijlatitn , would have been adopted, and
that in return for the disfranebifement of
fixty.tw towns, which the federalifts had
the di(grace and the hardihood to perpetrate
at a former elcflion, we feared that the
principle of retaliation would have been
putfned by the republicans—it is honorable
to the cause of democracy, it is auspicious
tc fheir future triumph, that correct princi
ples have prevailed ov* r the most powerful
passion of revenge—that they have difearded
injured and insulted feelings—and abiding
by the great principle of the majority giving

NEW INVENTION.
A Fatent Machine far Tin-plate Warding
A Machine has lately been invented by
Calvin Whiting and Eli Parsons, of Dedhsm,
for working Tin Plate into the, various
kinds of Ware necefiary for ufc.
Although it is ftmple.in its conftrutfion,
and not very expensive, and of courfc can
require but little repair, jet it facilitates
and Caves three fourths of the labour nec<ff?.
ry in any other mode ofwotkirg Tin Plate
before praftiftd, and at the fame time per.
forms the wcik, in general much neater and
more thoroughly than it can be dene by
hands.
It turns, locks, and grooves all the featr-s
in a veffcl; it turns the edges and completes *
the operation of wiring by doling the *
edge round the wire, forming the vtffcl at
the fame time.
It cuts hot tores of all sizes, and locks
the bottoms and (ides together, doling
theta perfectly tight, &c.
The whole machine is calculated to more
with a drum wheel, which may be put in
motion hy water, Hearn, horse, man, or
any other power ; the rollers that preform
the different operations above deferibed,
will front ninety to one hundred and
twenty revolutions in a minute.

BOARD BRIDGE.
It is now eight months since a board
bridge was eicdcd at a place called Sober
on the branch turnpike, 7 miles from Hud,
fen. This bridge was csnffrtided upon a
plan, invented by Mr. Rithaid Robothai*
cf this city ; and co*b:nes mere advantage,
perhaps, than any mode at present in uft.
It is cheap, fimplc, eaftly conftrufled,
ftror.g, and probably more likely to Lc dara,
ble than any wooden bridge whatever. It
is a Tingle arch of pine hoardr—.72 f ; . t
long, 20 feet wide, and 12 inches thick;
and was built by contrail for 500 dollar?,
including all the materials. The following
Jhcws the a&ual quantity of materials and

and the subjoined extraft from the books of
the company, evince their approbation of
