PHILADELPHIA, September 25.
An instance of Providential preservati
on occurred on Friday evening last. As
Mr. Smith, son of Mr. W. T. Smith of
this city, was returning to his country
feat on the Ridge Road, his horse sudden
ly halted in consequence of a flalh oflight
eing. Finding it impossible to urge him
on, Mr. Smith alighted from his chair,
and taking the bridle from over his neck
lead him on. They had proceeded bur a
few paces in this manner, when a second
slash of lightning occurred, and instantly
killed the horse, while Mr. Smith re
mained uninjured. What is very remark
able a whire glass bottle, containing lead
water, which was in Mr. Smith's waift
coar pocket, was converted into a deep
blue colour.

A Treaty is said to have been signed at

recognizes the Batavian republic, and pro.
mises to fend an ambassador to reside at

17, General Jacob Morgan, at his
place at Point no Point, in the northern
liberties of the city of Philadelphia, in

Wonderful encouragement for FederaLfls !
At Lewis-Town, at the election for
InfpeCtor and afieflbr, about 200 votes
were taken, out of which the democra
tic republican ticket had a majority of
fightetn ! We congratulate the date of
Delaware on this auspicious event, as it
proves beyond the power of contradicti
on, the increase of genuine republican
principles, more than a volume of after
tion. At the last election, the republican
ticket had a majority of 4 or 5 only.—

“ For the consolation of the Fedcralifts

The fact is that federalifm appears to
have 101 l ground, and rcpublicanifm to
have gained ground in every (late in the
union, where jthey public will has been
exprelfed through the organ of elections,
with the solitary exceptions of Mafiachu
fetts, where a momentary impression, de
rived from local feeling, has been made
—an impression, which we are assured is
fail wearing away.
Our accounts from New.Jerfey, Penn
sylvania, and Delaware, where elections
soon take place, are bright beyond ex
pectation. In New-fetfey\ there will
be a republican Legiflaturc, governor,
and a delegation to Congress entirely re
publican. In Pennsylvania , there is
nearly a certainty that the whole delega
tion to Congress, confiding of eighteen
members, will be republican. There is
not the lead doubt of sixteen being so.
In Delaware , the republicans are alive,
and it is firmly believed that they will
succeed.
On Monday the election for the Honfe
of Delegates takes place in Maryland,
a great majority of which will be repub
lican.

“ I am very sorry to inform you, that
our cotton-fields are in a dreadful situati
on. The cattcrpillars have broke out in
every field I know of upon the island,
and their numbers really do surpass every
thing of the kind I evfjr saw in my life.
Large fields are totally dedroyed by them,
and their numbers </e daily incrcafing, 1
was the third person \vho had them, and
for seven or eight days they did me but
little damage, and I had buoyed rnyfelf
up with the hope of getting off very well,
until a few day# ago I rode where I fird
difeovered them, and they did adonilh
me; for not only the cotton was full of
them, but the face of the earth also, and
every place that a cotton bulk touched me
or my horse, they were left dicking ; and
I declare to you candidly, that it is my
opinion, that there will not be a green
leaf nor a green pod of cotton left on ray
plantation in a fortnight from this, and
mod of my neighbors are equally as great
fufferers, I assure you we ail have long
faces on the occasion, for our crops are
irretrievably lod.”
SAVANNAH, Off, 5.
The lad accounts from New-York,
date that numbers of the negroes from on
board the frigates in that port, have been
fccretly landed, and are committing many
excesses, drolling in gangs of from four
to fourteen, through various parts of the
country; and that many persons were
purchasing them from on board the fri
gates by dozens, for the purpofeot trans
porting them to the southern dates. Al
though it is well known, that there exids
a law prohibiting the introduction of
Haves among us in this way, i: is howc.
vcr, but too notorious also, that ft in
a conliderable measure nugatory, as the
intcrell and nccelfity of the planter for
them, frequently renders it convenient for
him to view the law as a dead letter j
but the quell ion now is, whether the plan
ter will not fee his very exigence and that
of his family depending, for a while, up.
on the circumfpediou with which he pur- ,
chafes this fpecijrs of property.

Religion Compared.
Mr, Jefferson has been called an In
side I; Mr. Adams a Chrtjiian, The fol
lowing anecdote will illustrate the infi
delity of the former, and the chriftianity
of the latter:
At a time when Mr. Adams was pre
sident, and Mr. Jclferfon vice-piefident,
the Rev. Mr. Cathcart of Pennsylvania,
who was employed by the Society for
propagating religion among the Indians,
to colled money for that benevolent insti
tution, waited upon Mr. Adams at the
City of Waftiington, and folicued his
support of the undertaking. Mr. Adams
not only refufed to give him a cent, but
treated him in a rude and churlilh manner
quite unbecoming the firlt Magistrate of a
free people to a messenger of ihe gofpcl.
Mr. Ca'hcart next waited upon Mr.
Jefferfon, and explained to him the ob
jed of his million, in behalf of a focicty
which had benevolently undertaken to
chrillianize and civilize the Savage nati
ons on our borders. M. Jefferfon lilten
ed to him with attention —applauded the
design—and gave fifty dollars to Mr.
Caihcart to aid the iniiitution.
Which of these two men, think you,
aded most as achrlllian ?
