NORFOLK, September 18.
In a part of the last edition oi cur pa
per, we gave a hasty account of the des
truction of the French line of battle (hip
L’lmpeteUx, of 74 guns, commanded by
Monfieiir Leveyer Bclaix, member of
the legion of honor. Since then we
have converted wi'h fome of the officers
of the French (hip, who fay, tnat in a
violent gale on the 19th Augutl, in lat.
‘ z 5. file was totally ditmafted, her rudder
broke, water calks (love, and ah the pow
der wet and dettroyed ; they were obiig.
ed to throw all their guns overboard, ex
cept the lower tier, to keep her afloat.
After being in thi3 deplorable date for
twenty-three days, (hort of provisions,
and not a drop of frefh water, early on
Sunday morning last they deicrird two
British tien of war, a frigate and an ar
med fcrig, being then about twelve miles
off fliore to the southward of Cape Hen
ry ; that fooncr than be taken at sea,
they immediately made for the (bore, on
which they run the (hip before the Bri
tith got within (hot, having, with their
colours, a figtial of distress also hoisted.
They (late that the frigate commenced
firing upon them when they were a
ground, and within a mile of the land,
and continued the fire until the colors
and Lils were lowered—during thi3 lime,
~ the two iine of battle (hips were at an
chor within long-shot—that the crew of
the fit It boat which came on board from
the frigate behaved with much civility
but when the marines came they conduc
ed themselves with ruderiefs—That the
captain ot tht French (hip expoftuiated
with them, ftatiog that they were on
neutral ground, but to no effect, for after
taking out what of the crew that oid not
jump overboard, they set lire to her, and
effectually deftroveu her. The L*fm
peteaux had near 700 men ; thole taken
ou board the frigate have been sent up
from Hampton Roa Is, and are now com
fortably lodged in the Holpital at Ferry
Point.
The L’lmpeteaux was one of Willou.
mey’s fquadroH, an<l ot wr>’ch Jerome
was ffcond in con,maud in the Veteran,
which (hip parted from the Iqiiadrc.n in
the latitude of New-York, 20 or 30
days before the gale, and has never since
been heard of—ftrongly fufpedeu (he has
foundered. Thty te lin with the Fou
t droyant, (tke admiral's (hip) three day.
ter the gale, totally d'fmafted, rudder
ie and nearly a wreck— luppofis (he
has got into the Havanna. The Cafard
and Velereufe frigate, belonging to this

ju vnendation is due to Mr. Myers,

CHARLESTON October 4.
Cap-urn Pru*.c, who arrived yetterday
from Garracoa, informs us that general
Miranda has tak’.en Aruba ; that he has
includin' 1, fcaan u, about yco men ; rhat
v he Spaniards ap .sear ratiier to keep aloof
but that be has b een joined by a number
of Indians. The bpamamL were fitting
out at Porto Cavalio, about 20 armed
vessels toecut off Miranda’s supplies by
the BntuL, and to scour tbe c ait Cap
tain JoKttsox of the fh:p Leander, who
landed with about 20 men to procure
water, was (urpiized by a party ot Span
ivds, and the whole of them made pri
ioners. Twelve of the Americans who
*crt crctuted in Miranda a fehooners
have i..;*a har.gtd ar.J the rest fi nt to
he mines for life. Three of those who
were hung, were Roman Catholics, ant
eceived Chriltian buriet, the rest were
fuffered to remain upon the gallows.
Several Americans having arrived at Cur.
racoa, the arsenals and magazines have
been completely fiileJ, but it was gene
rally supposed that if Miranda succeeded
the Britilh would attack Curracoa, for
the purpose of obtaining a convenient
depot of supplies and as a port from
whence Miranda might eafi ! y receive a
fiftance and support. Several (kirmifhes
had taken place, but were ot Hiding im
portance to either party, The ultimate
success of the expedition was still held
to be doubtful.

REPUBLICAN’’.
SAVANNAH, Octoeir 10, 1806'.
THE following is extracted from tbe
(Litchfield) Witnel's, edited by the perfected
Olbom :
“TOWER OF TRUTH.
“ It is now very, well alcertamed that John
Allen, efij. of this place, has ablolutely seceded
from federalifm—and we ate happy to add,
from indilputable authority, that Judge Sedg
wick, of Stockbridge, late fpeaker oi tbe nati
onal houl'e of Representatives, and Senator in
Congrel's, has followed the example.”
IT is no doubt in the recollection of
many of the inhabitants of this place,
that JOHN ALLEN, Esq. was one
of the Federal champions, who wrote
against the election of Mr. Jefferfon to
the P.didency—he was the author of
several publications under the signature
of ‘ Bl ! RLElGH’—thefe publications
originally appeared in the “ Connedi
cut Courant,” a Federai vehicle printed
in Hartford, and extracted into every
Federal print in the ur’on —even into
that Federal luminary, the “ Golun.bi/in
Nlurtum.” The object of BURLEIGH
was, to destroy all confidence in Mr.
Jefferfon, and to continue Mr. Adams in
the Presidential Chair—but, happy for
this country, his labors were in vain.—
He ha*, at length, “i* error—
he has . treated from the path of dtlu
fion, in which he l.as so long trod—he
lias nlifted with the fupportera of Ameri
can Liberty, and rallies round their Hand -
ard—may he prove worthy of the cause
he has espoused—he may, no doubt, be
called an apostate by thole whom he once
looked upon as friends to his country—
he may be called a weather-cock— but,
if he difeovered his error, and abandoned
the cairl'e of Federalism from principle,
as thousands have done before him, he
is an honed citizen—and may he long
live to enjoy the bleffmgs of Republican
i so—may he, alt-hog h he come3 at the
eleventh hour, be a true disciple of found
principles.
With refpeft to Judge SEDG
WICK, we know but little, however, it
appears, he was also an adherent to the
cause of delusion ; but has, like an hon
ed man, difeovered liis error—embraced
the cause of jultice—and is determined
to fin no more.
We are of opinion, that Federal
ism in Connecticut, is degenerating very
fad—thur bonded strength is fait—-very
fad, travelling to the (hades of oblivion—
the people beg::, to open their eyes—they
begin to difeover the depravity of the
cause in which they have been so zeal
ous—they are determined to be gulled
no longer by the artifices of the enemies
of their rights as men—as Freemen.
WE hear nothing further from the felf
boafting “ Candor”...lie mud have exhausted
alibis strength in his firft produ(ftion...he, no
doubt, is desirous of remaining snug behind
the Gur|fiin...poor foul...don’t tremble...we
will not force you before the public eye ..left
they ftiould behold a CO WARD...not, a
BRAVE MAN ! ! ! !
ON Monday last, a certain Eleiftioneer
ing charadter, famous for the federal ticket,
stiled himfelf a DOCTOR, and for the purpose
of carrying his point, brought forward twen
ty seamen, as he told them, to vote for a hofpi
til—the poor fellows, innocent of doing any
thing contrary to the laws of this state, followed
their leader to the Court-hoofe, where he a
bandoned them to work their own way. One
of the presiding juftice6 alking one of them
what he wanted, his answer was, lie v. ilhed to
vote for the hospital—he was put upon oath,
and like an horieft foul, declined (wearing he
was a citizen of the United States—they knew
nothing of the nature of the eleblion, therefore
the only one culpable i* the felf-made DOC
TOR 11! This Pill, Dodlor, would not go
Jown—you need a little more study.
Messrs. EVERITT & M'LKAN,
BY giving the following a plate in your
next paper you will oblige a friend—it lias

No man can call himfelf happy, before he

THUU art dead to this world, J
Q • thou haft carried with thee the furrow,
of all the hone ft and worthy people who knew
thee. The ambitious and envious men, even
those whop rtook of thy benefits, will no more
prosecute thee ; all thy pain* and misfortunes
are at an end—those pretended friends will
feel thylofs; but thy fmcere one.,although al
ways vety few will join thy unfortunate lankly
to help, support and aflift them in their late and
irreparable loss. Once in affluence, they (aw
themselves, from a conflagration (uddenly de
prived of their wealth. The affiftar.ee of a
few neighbours, now luccours them ; the part
ner of his life, beholds in distress her four chil
dren, one at her breft, and two unable to fttift

O Generous G , I knew thy philanthro

cuniary relief. Thy money, thy cn lit. were
lavifhtd, perhaps with fomo degree of impru
dence—forgive me. O Shade, thou wert
prompted to it by the goodtit-fs of they heart.
How will they now aCt who took an advantage
of thy good nature; they limit undoubtedly
feel tile pangs of remnrfe, when they hear of
the fate of thy unfortune family ; the creditors
” ill no doubt give that benevolent indulgence
which honed louls ought to ejert towards the
unfortunate—Thy friends and the poblic are
fully confeious that thy removal into the coun
try with thy goods and houlehold, was occali
oned by a fincerc* wish to repair the loilcs which
proceeded from thy too good nature.
Thou wert elteemed and beloved by the
public and by the refpedtable lociety of which
thou wert a member, as a good citizen, a good
husband and father, ever ready to prop and
afiill fullering humanity—fur honed people are
ever alive to the feelings of beuevolence No
remorie of confidence didurlied thy dying mo

accident that befel hy family, hi the lad
moments ot didblution, attended with bitter an
