112 jHults* ON A COUNTRY LIFE. WOULD you relilh a rural retreat, Or the pleasure the groves caninfpire ; The city’s allurements forget, To this spot of enchantment retire'. Where a valley and chriftaline brook, Whole verdure glides fwectly along, Gives nature a fanciful look, The beautiful woodlands among. Behold the lhady-green trees, A beautiful umbrage have spread, Where thelhepherdsmay 101 lat their case And pipe to the musical lhade. On the top of a mountain so rude, In concert with waters below, Is the voice of a mulical bird, Whose notes do cheerfully flow* Oit let me contemplative dwell, On a feene where iuch beauties appear; I could live in a cot or a cell, And never think solitude near. Mire ‘work for Mantua Makers . The American Ladies have hardly had time to ape fotne English belle who wanted to hide her lhape lor lhame, than the falhion is changed—nine months reasons have altered the lhape—and round waills are all the rage. “ Pray, fays Delia to her ffuiband, let me have h round waist.” The ladies of falhion in London, wear feathers exactly of their own length—so that a lady on her feet is twice as long as in her bed. The bucks are all cropped, at least all Jacobin bucks—long hair is now a mark of aristocracy. The rage is to crop coxcombs and to dock horses, lhaving off the ears of the latter close to the head. . Whether the cropping of Jaco bins, is not a prelude to a lhaving of Cars and heads, we are not informed. LONDON, March 27. The late duel fought between major Svveetman and capt. Watson, has unfor tunately terminated in the death of both those gallant oftieers—as the latter died on Wednesday morning. The two were natives of Ireland, and old acquaintances ; they had forinerly served in one regiment, but from a tri fling difference of opinion, a little cool nels arose. Ar the opera, one of the gentlemen, we are not sure which, trod on the others toe—in consequence of which, a challenge was accepted. Each made his will, and they dined together in a mixed company the day preceding the fatal catastrophe. They flood at the distance of four paces, and fired to gether ; captain Watfon’sball entered the major’s lorehead, who notwithflan ding, had power to walk up and alk his anugonifl it he was wounded, so which he replied, mortally—so am I, said ma jor 6wcetjna.ii, and instantly fell. Duelling, —[ The iktisfying point of honour, at 7 paces, is pvemediated mur der } unleis it is imagined real fear may impair considerably “the point of fight. To the law, so idly violated—to focic ty, so madly injured, what can be the juflification offconas.] ALARMING RENCOUNTER. The Manchester theatre has lately been the feene ot fome tumult, in conse quence ot several persons expressing dis approbation during the Tinging of “ God i.ive the king.” On Monday evening lafl in particular, a riot broke out, which threatened to terminate with much feri. ous mifehiefand bloodthed. The song being called lor, a number of gentlemen an the boxes and pit would not take off’ their hats, on which fome of theoflkers of the Bth regiment of dragoons, with drawn swords, proceeded to enforce obe dience, and in an instant, the whole house was a feene of drendful confufion. In the conteff, a number of persons were cut and wounded ; amongtt the rest, Mr. Johnf'on Edenfer, merchant, had his arm cut open from the lhoulder to the elboww A young officer, not more than 14 years of age, who was very ac tive with his broad sword, was thrown from the boxes into thelpit, but lucki ly received no damage. At length the house being cleared of the ladies, and the persons supposed to be inimical to the tune, the entertainment was fuft'ered to go on, at the end of which, ** God save the king,” was again lung, but not without much oppolition. Mr. Eden fer has entered an aftion againJ the offi cer that wounded him, Columbian s£tufeum, £&♦ 15 Dollars Reward.

FOR SALE, SUGAR in Hhds. and Barrels, Belt Green COFFEE; By BORDMAN CHILLS. Savannah, March 28, 1796. Cotton Ginning. Hr H E Subscriber is empowered by X Mr. EVEy of the Bahama Islands, to receive a fubfeription for his Cot ton Ginning Machine. Gen tleman of the states of South-Carolina and Georgia, who may wilh to become fublcribers, are requeltcd to fend for ward their names as soon as convenient, in order that the fubfeription may be closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv er the Machine, independent of the pow er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con trails that this Machine will gin joolbs. of clean cotton per day, with a small impelling power either of wind, of wa ter, or of horses. This machine in a few days, and with a trifling expence, can be at cached to any machine in use for other purposes, fuchas rice machines, saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will lend over a person competent to set them in motion, and fully to explain their sev eral powers. From fome small expe riments that have been made upon the green feed cotton it appears that from, 150 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this machine per day. For further informa tion upon this fubjert I beg leav e to re ier gentlemen to the underftgned certi ficate from a refpeflable Cotton Plan ter of this state, who has been an eye witness ot the execution done by this machine, and to various certificates that have come out at different times in the Bahama papers, signed by the moft ref pedable Planters in that country. Fur rher particulars will be made known upon application from any gentleman who may wish to become a lubferiber. Ths machine has met with universal ap probation in every part of the Welt- Indies to which it has been sent. THOMAS SPALDING. GEORG IA y Chatham County. certify, that, being on a vifxt for my health to New Providence, one of the Bahama Wands, I was induced to make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot ton Ginning Machine of the green feed cotton, commonly cultivatedin the back country of the southern states, and sent to Savannah for a small quantity there of, which on experiment 1 found to an swer. The rainy season letting in a bout the time 1 received the cotton the whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as sured me his machine was competent, from the calculation he had made, to clean out in good weather two hundred weight of clean cotton in the course of a day. The machine separates the feed Irom the cotton by rollers without do ing any injury to the llaple, and, from a sample of feed and cotton in poflelflon of the lubferiber, any gentleman can be immediately convinced of the truth of this opinion. During my ltay in Nas sau I frequently vilited Mr. Eve’s ma chine which was impelled by wind, and never saw more than two people attend ing the fame, one a grown person and the other a small boy. ‘Phis machine is capable ot beingattached to almost any ot those used for various purposes in this country ; the continuation appears by no means complex, and every planter of consequence in the Bahamas is in the pra&ice of using them.
