Vol. !• ironies of it have been realized m many Inftaoces. There are several persons, n ow living, who had long been excrciied with t hat malignant tumour in a very high degree of lflfiamation, which alter experiencing this operation, direftly be gaK t o< diminilh, and continued to de crease, until they entirely vamlhed in a few days, and have not since made their appearance. .. These fids being known, and credit cd, such of course, as were exercised with that malady, have for many years applied to the deceased from various parts ol the country ; and their number continued to increafc to such a degree, that towards -the close of his life, he was frequently thronged with patients. And it appears bv the belt information that in general they obtained relief. The reality of the efFeft is evident, from occular demonltration ; but wheth er to account for it by supposing fome physical quality in the hand applied, fome invilible external influence attending its application, or from its making a faiuta ry impreflion on the mind of the patient, and so rectifying the disorderly circula tion ol the blood, and changing the course of the animal fluids, and by that means effecting the cure, will be left to the in qiiiitive philosopher and physician to determine. The conspicuous and serviceable life of Mr. Sharley, will entitle him to grateful remembrance. His loss will be ever lamented by tiioie who have found relief from his friendly hand and pious prayers in a time of adverfity l , and by all who had the opportunity of his pcrlonal acquaintance, and know how to value the man of private worth, the friend ol hu man happiness, the example ol virtue and ufefulneis, and the devout and humble chriitian. EOS T O N, June 27* Extra ft of a letttr from St. Pierre's, Martinique, dated the 21 fi May. “ The Englilb batteries were open on Monday lait the 16th instant, at St. Lucia; their firlt fire was very fuccefs ful in lilencing the Vigie, and several batteries, the latter of which have been evac tated by the Republicans, who have retired into Morne Fortune ; one of the magazines in the Morne has been blown up by the falling of a (hell.

Logan appeals to the attorney gen eral of the date to know whether the el ectors had a right under the conditution to proceed to a fccond ballot. The at torney general declines anfweting in his official capacity ; but gives it as his opin ion as a lawyer that they had not. It appears that the conditution of Kentucky provides for a second ballot, when on the fird there is an equal num ber of votes for the highest candidates ; but fays nothing of a lecond trial in case the highed candidate, on the fird ballot, lhould not have a majority. So that really B. Logan appears to have right on his fide. PHILADELPHIA, July i; The United States brig Sophia, fail ed a few days ago from this port for Eu rope ; die is to touch at Lilbon, for a short time, and from thence proceed to Algiers. We learn that the Sophia has onboard the means of fulfilling the terms of our treaty with the Dey aud Regency of Algiers, for which purpose Are was dispatched by the Executive with Cap tain O’Brien on board. A Frendi gentleman has arrived at Portsmouth, from Cape. Francois, where he came in the lad fleet from France. He is complimented in the Portsmouth paper, as a person of good deportment and extensive knowledge. His information is, that Franee resents our treaty with Great-Britam ; that our treaty of alliance with France will soon be at an end ; and that he fears our neutrality will be interrupted by the Directory, which may soon adopt decisive measures to punish us for our ingratitude. On Monday night, about nine o’clock, Captain John Hawthorn, whole veffcl lay at the fort, got into his boat with two of his people, in order to come up to this city ; opposite red bank they were upset by the wind, by which the captain was drowned, but the two men were ta ken up by a Ihallop.

The 25th, lat*. 40, 25, long. 74, at one P. M. was brought to by a (hot from the Huflar, at which time another large frigate hove in fight; the Huflar fleered direst for her : at five, after va rious manoeuvres* the Huflar being a brelt of the other, which was still bear ing down, they laid to with their cour ses hauled up ready for engagement, each veflel making signals which were not repeated by the other ; the Huflar immediately crowded all fail and bore away ; her opponent, which appeared to be French and superior force, gave chace ; cannonading was heard for lome time after ; but were soon out of fight. The French frigate mentioned in the above account is molt probably the In surgent, which failed from New-York a few days since. Both that frigate and the Huiiar had been spoken with at no great distance of time or place from each other, and from the course they were holding likely to meet. PITTSBURG, July 16. The Federal I.ottery, No. 2, has commenced drawing at George-town. A paper in the city of Walbington fays, u We underltand that Mr. Blodget draws 100 tickets per week ; now, as the wheel contains 50,000 tickets, the Lottery will be drawing 10 years; we therefore advise all thole holding tickets, to mention them in their wills, as they may become important prizes, for the good of thfcir heirs.” FREDERICKSBURG, June 22.

Yelterday, at two o’clock, the dwel ling house of Mrs. Ravenel, fituattd at the north-east corner of George and Meetingtlreets, was difeoveredto be on fire in the roof. Before afliftance could be given, the flames had taken such hold of the building as to prevent its being fa yed. The early arrival of the engr.ws, and gftivity of the citizens, flopped the flames from communicating to any other building. We cannot determine whether this fire is owing to design or accident.

La A Thursday evening, a Murder was committed on a plantation a few miles from this city, by one John Richinfon, a noted villain who has long been a dread to society ; but we have the fatif fartion to add, he was immediately ap prehended, and is now in close confine ment to wait the termination of juflice, and will probably meet the reward jult ly due to his crime. The circumAan ces of this inhuman aft, as far as we can learn, are, that Richinfon came to the house of a Mr. Grant, a neighbouring overseer, who it appears, had previous ly laid in a small itore of liquor for his family’s use ; Richinfon being inform ed of it, demanded of him a free acccfs to his Aorcs, and on Grants refufing him, he immediately seized a gun which was Handing by and difeharged it at Grant, the contents of which, entered his head and be expired immediately. The jury brought in their virdift wilful murder. A report fays, the Governor of South Canolina has received repeated demands, for the rcleafe of the two FALLS, with threats, to lay waste the I whole city of Charleston, if not com plied with, and they immediately releas ed ; and further, that several attempts have been made to put their threats in force ; that a house has lately been con sumed, and fire set to the Cultom-Houfe, but happily extinguilhed.
