Persecution !—Horrible Persecution !
From the cry of persecution which has
been raised by the Feds, on account of
the difmiflals which have taken place in
the Poft-Office Department, one would
suppose not a man of their “feft** was
left in pofleffion of an office !
What is the FACT />
There are in the United States one
thousand and ninety-five Depoty-Poft-
M liters, who are accountable to and re
movable by, the Post-Master-General.
Thcfe, when the present Administration
came into office, were almost to a man
Federal. Os these 1095 deputy-post-ma
sters, but FORTY-FIVE have been dis
missed! And a large majority of this
small number were difmifled formal-con»
dust, and other Efficient reasons, inde
pendent of political fentirnents.
It has been said by the Republicans,
that no virtuous Administration could be
battered down by Paper-Jhot. —The Feds,
are determined to make the experiment,
and have accordingly commenced and kept
up a constant fire upon the present Ad
ministration, from their whole park of
Artillery t direfted by Major-General
Hamilton . No breach , however, is yet
difeoverabie; and we venture to predict
that t&ir ammunition will be expended,
their ranks thinned by defirtion , and they
finally obliged to relinqui/h the attack .
PHILADELPHIA, Augufi 26.
Extrali of a lette? from iVaJhington y

“The New-York will be ready for
sea on Saturday next. The John Adams
will probably be immediately put in com
mission; ft>e can be equipped in two
weeks. The Constitution, at Boston, is
completfly prepared, I am told, for im
mediate service, and I understand the
Philadelphia will be also in the course of
a few days. The President could be put

ACCIDENTS.
A storm of thunder, lightning, hail,
and rain, more than commonly violent,
took place on Saturday night; a house in
Frankford was struck by lightning on
Sunday noon, without effefting any other
injury than stunning a female, a man in
an adjoining house was also severely stun
ned, but without any further inconveni- .
cnee.
It appears that as the driver ol the mail
stage was defeending a hill, between .
Princctown and Trenton ; in the dead of
night, a flalh of lightning struck the hind
wheels, glanced from thence to the fore
ones, thence along the tongue of the wag.
gon to the breast-chains, and at one
stroke, and the fame moment, killed all
four horses and stunned the driver, who
Remained speechless for some time, but
did not effeft two gentlemen who were
in the carriage.
Washington city, s e pt. i.

BARBARY POWERS.
Dispatches, we underlland, have hern
received by government from Mr. SIMP.
SON, ourConful to Morocco, dated July
16th at Gibraltar, which place, as falfely
rumoured, he had not left. The reports
refpefting Capt. M‘Neil’s engagement
with the Tunilians does not appear to
have been confirmed by subsequent ir.fer
mation, which, in case of such action,
ought to have been received by Mr,
Simpson.
The Enterprize, Capt, Sterret,
had arrived at Gibraltar on the 2d ot Ju
ly from the squadron cruising off Tripoli.
The letters of Capt. Sterret are alfofilent
as to M‘Neil’s engagement, or his own,
as reported; which, with refpeft to the
latter, amounts todifproof.
The warlike operations of Morocco,
from the latest authentic accounts, were
not very aftive. The new frigates late
ly built, the one of 36, and the other of
22 guns, were equipping slowly at Sake
on the Atlantic—the old frigate lay at
La Rash in the sand —two gallies w’ere
fitting out at Tetuan with considerable
spirit.

tola, and that not more than 100 had
been saved."
Capt. Harris, arrived at Bodon from
Lisbon, failed in company with two Por
tuguese frigates, bound to the Mediterra
nean. The Portuguefc are greatly pro.
voked at the loss of the frigate taken by
the Algerines, and have iflued frefh or
ders to their naval commanders, to use
the utmod aftivity in their operations a
gaind those pirates.
CHARLESTON, September 6.
By a datement of interments in this
City given by the City Marlhal, it ap
pears, that the deaths during the month
of Augud lad, amounted to 57, viz. 27
whites 30 blacks —two of the former di
ed of the yellow fever, the only cases of
that disorder in that month. The num
ber of interments during the fame month
in 1 800, was 165, viz. lit whites, 54
blacks—there were in this month fifty
five interments from the yellow fever.
In 1801, the deaths in the fame montha
mounted to 181, viz. 129 whites, 52
blacks ; eighty.five of whom died of the
yellow-fever .
By the above datement it will be found
that the mortality in the month of Au
gud, this year, has been considerably less
than it was during the fame month in
the two preceding years.
