ned out ami.lit the horrid acclamation* of
the mtircilc i toru-ers ; ami to the view of
vaff numbers of people, who generally crow.
A;d about the guard-houfc door, attrafted
h>l hi i:(H fted cries of the torniented.-i-r
Mfcy of thole perleemcd in this manner,
txpioienc'crl' additional angailh from the

afforded a rare addition of enjoyment to
t.itla k. s in fportftncn, who reiterated scif
Itorrid yciys or exultation, on the repetitions
lot ihcir t .vcral accidents to which their game
| was Hattie upon being turned out ; for ip
the confullon and hurry of escaping from
the ferocious bands of those more than favaga
tormentor 1 , the blinded ridlims frcquentenly
fii or Ilml/ertently dafoed their .heads a
giirdt the walls in their way. Ire pain of
clifengaging the pitched cap from the head
melt have been next to intolerable-. The
Hdr was often torn put by the roots, and
rot nnfroOuerttlv parts of the fit in were so
ioilded or bliflcrcd as to adhere and come
off along with it. Tbs terror /and dismay
that these outrages occnfionrf are incon
ceivable. A feijeant of tbs Korth Cork,
nick-mmkd T'atn the Bcv:l t jvras rnoft in
genious in deviling new modhs of torture,

timfs an entire ear, and qltcn both ears
wore completely cut off; and fnany loft part
of their nofcs during the li?re preparation.
But, itrangc to tell, theft; atrocities were
publicly praclife 1 without »|ie lead reserve
in open Jay, and no magiffrate or officer
ever interfered, but flianftfully cohrtived
at this extraordinary modest quieting the
people ! Some of the miferf.hle fufferers on
•thde (hocking occasions, or fotpe of their
relations or faends, aft tilted by a principle
of retaliation, if not of revenge* cut (hort
the hair of feverai persons whom they either
conflicted as enemies nr fnfpefted of having
pointed them out as obj efts for such despe
rate treatment. This wa* dhne with a
vipv that those aftivecinzrns jfh-culd fall in
Ifor a little experience of the l»jkc discipline,
or to make the fafhion of .ihqrf hair so gene
ral that it might no longer' fee a party dis.
ttnftim, Females were atf-Vexpofed to the
grafted, in faffs from thefs military ruffians.
Many women had their petticoats, hand
kerchiefs, ribbons, and ;11l pacts of their
dress that exhibited a (hade Os green (con*
lidered the national colour cf torn
o(F; and titeir cars affdled by the nfoft vile
and indecent ribaldry, fthiswas a eifeom
ftance so onforefeeo, and of course so little
provided against, that many werren of
enthufiafttc royalty fuftcrcd outrage in this
manner.—-Some of these ladies would not on
any account have worn any thing, which
they could even imagine partook in any de
gree of croppyifm. ——They were, however,
unwarily involved until undeceived by the
gentle hints from these kind guardians of
allt-giance.”
EUROPEAN WARS.
Were an Afutlc politician to read the trea
ties of peace and frisrdfhip, which have been
annually making for more than an hundred
years in Eurcp", he would probably be sur
prised how it could ever happen that chrif
tinn princes could ever quarrel among each
other. Thtir compafts for peace zrc drawn
up with the uemoft preciuon, and ratified
with the g’-eateft foiemnify I ro rh;fc each
party promises a sincere and inviolable obe
dience. Yet the people of Europe are almcft
continually at war. One fide breaks a tri
fling Article by miftnke ; the opposite party
upon this make a final], but premeditated te
prifal; this brings on a return of greater
from the other ; both sides complain of inju
ries and infraftions ; war is dec!a r ed ; they
bear & arc beaten ; ibme ten or twenty thou-
killed ; they grow tired; leave
off where they began ; and so fitcooly down
•nu make new treaties. Goldfmitb .
ANOTHER GALE.

pettenced on the Florida coast on (he fifte'-rrh

nonficWably, fevcral houses were blown down
veflels in port driven on (hare, and the
I>ier entirely demolHhed. Captain Bunker
loft hij vcffcl on Cape Romajn, in the Sep.
Member gale of 1804, but he think* this gale
exceeded that infeverity. A great num
ber of vessels have been driven on the Flori
da (bore ; among them a (hip belonging to
* hiiadclphia, from Havar.na, with a cargo
sugar. A brig which had gone on flioce,
has been got tffand towed into St. Mary's

AUGUSTA, 08. i,.
OUR latest accounts from Europe breathe
nothing but peace between France and Eng
land ; and from every appearance there i»
great probability that this deferable event
has already taken place, in conftquencc of
which, neutral and pacific nations will be
free to carry on trade and commerce without
interruption or filiation. It would appear
that Bonaparte has still great projects in
view on rile continent gs Europe, and, per
htpe, towards Alia ; these views will be
developed aS soon as a peace f place
with England. One of the Herculean b
i |>ots, a CharkHon paper informs ns, he has
1 in contemplation is, tocrowh the Duke of
York King of America ! but we are of opi.
nl©n, he would sooner drangle the Britilh
lion in his den, than aflJil to r«*-eflab!i(h his
paternal power & dcfpotifm in ihe U. States
Carthage, than extend her
commerce and influence.
Du ring, the gale in Augufl, the French
I fleet has been dreadful mauled on cur coast—.
there is no account of Jerome Ronapartes Jliip
from Looifiana forebode hoftili.
ties with the Spaniards in that quarter ; the
next mails may poflil.ly confirm this intelli
gence. In Maryland the republican ticket
for Congress and the date Legiflaturc is fan!

■"THE anniverfarv cf American Indepeh
dcnce has been «lmoft univerfaHy celebrated
by the republicans cf Louisiana Territory.
At Bon hotnme, a thriving settlement about
twenty-five miles from St. Louis cn the
banks of the Miflburi, the roncoorfe was
large, unanimous and refpcftahlc ; Agreea
bly to previous arrangements made by Mess.
Kinkaid, Long, Bacon end Thomfor, the
committee for that purpose, a fiimptuous
and plentiful fcaft was prepared at the Bon
homme mills, by widow Long. The com
pany con lifting of upwards ot thre? hundred
persons, having chosen Richard Caulk Esq-
Prefider.l and Mr. Seth Emmons Vice-Prc-
Client, partook of the dinner under an ar
bour ;—Never was a more complete and
j fatisfadory dernonftration of joy upon any
occallon—-every heart beat in unison with
I the true spirit of liberty—every hand was
willing to defend itscauie, and every tongue
to (peak its praise. Louisiana never witneti
ed a more pleasing effufion ot the public fen
timent, all was harmony and joy 1 Fnend
(hip am! plenty diftinguilhed the day : *o®
toasts drank on the occaficn are an evidence
of those principles which tyrants have de
nounced, and their tools declared eternal
war against. The militia fired by platoons,
and appropriate music succeeded after each
toafi : The company retired from the tabic
in perfeft order, and in the evening attended
an agreeable ball, and nothing occurred to
marr the enjoyment of the day.

lit The day we celebrate, while theciti
ttm of Louisiana participate the invaluable
privileges refill ting from that memorable
epoch, may they cheriflv the principles and
emulate the ptmotifm which gave it birth.
ad Thomas Jeffcrfon, Prchdent of the
U. S. the people of Louitiana owe him their
gratitude for the boon extended to then!
under his adminidrstion—a boon which hat
placed them within the pale of a conlfituti
on which takes from the natural rights of
mart, only so much as is ncccffiry for his
own fccurityand bappiueft.
s*l George Clinton, Vice-PicGdent of
the United States, may the people ever dis-
Rlay funilar wisdom in their feleflions for
that office.
4th The people of the U. States, We hare
noticed with lively fcnfibilities, the public
exprdfion of their wtihes for the prosperity
and happiness of Louisiana—it is recollected
with gratitude, and reciprocated with fincc
. rity.
sth Congress of the United States, may
a corrcA understanding of the ftcuation of
Louisiana, and rile charatler of its citizens,
influence such a coUrfcof policy as may tend
to a Ipacdy iuerrafe of population—-rqaal to
fcU-defence, and intitle them to a teprefen
tation in the national legilUture.
6th Louisiana, may her citizens prove
themselves worthy of the fullering haftd of
republican Aroerics.
7th Education, the parent of liberty, may
the liberality of mir national legi fixture give
the moans for the necessary diffufion ot its
benefits to the different quarters of our Ter
ritory by competent donations froha the pub
j lie domain.
Bth The territories of the United States,
may they soon add a number ot bright liars
to the American conftcllation, and flrcngthcn
,|he chain which connects them.
£th r l'hc heroes and Cage* of the Ameri
can revolution, may their lucctffuts and
posterity, through all ages, venerate their
changers, and emulate their Virtues.
loth The perfecutcd advocates of liberty
throughout the world, may they find an
affeCtiosatc asylum in Our weftern hemif
pherc—there is ample room for them, upon
the fertile margin ol the Mifl'ouri.
nth May the people of this territory
know their rights, and if need be, defend
them.
I2’h May the civil and military powers
never again be veiled in x governor of Lou
ifi»"a.
x 3 : h Hone fly is the bfift policy, may the
people of this territory convince the world
that they arc governed by this rule,
I4’h Our nr*t Governor.
15 th The Missouri, her arms afe wide
ex iended to rcerive ami chertlh a republican
population-. The tree ot liberty thrives
well on its banks.
16th Party fpiiit, may k find no fuel ’ for
its diftruClivc flame amonglt the citizens of
Louisiana.
17th Our Indian brehren, the hand of
friendlhip is freely offered to them, when
•found disposed fur peace.
18th The fair daughters of Louisiana,
may their virtues and charms, ever infpiie
truf patriotism.
