that he was bred a sailor till his twenty

events calculated at least to remind hint
of the terrors of shipwreck, and enable
iiim to more than imagine as well as “sing
the dangers of the sea.” One of these
scenes is desrribed in the following inci

The True American, in Philadelphia,
published lately s listof citizens who were
engaged in various situations during
opr revolutionary war. This list, which,
rith some exceptions, is correct, will
>rve to show, when referring to the par
ticular occupations and traits of character,
what au extraordinary mass of talent in
the field and the cabinet this great confcil-
etraev produced—talents peculiar to each,
produced, it is reasonable to infer from the
pressure of the cause and its inherent prin
ciples. Of tlie fifty-two patriots who form
er! the first congress of 1774, who. first
broke asunder the chains which bound
this country to England, only three are
alive, viz. John Adams, Wijliam Floyd
and John Jay; and of those worthies who
signed the declaration of independence,
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, William
Ftovd, and William Ellery, yet alive. •
To thcae illustrious men whom the in-
discriminating hand of time has yet spared
what gratification can they possibly possess
equal to that oi beholding the country
which they contributed to deliver rising to
ah unparalleled height, thrusting aside ma
ny of tlil old mimarclqes of Europe, and
commanding a distinguished rank and in
fiuence among the nations of'tlie earth—
Supporting an eminent character for good
faith in its government and principle, and
morality in its citizens? Out of a popula
tion of ten millions, only five persons re
main who were associated in tbefirstcoun
ciL of independence—who had the firm
ness to point out a road over which many «
brave man successfully lias travelled. Kir
Jefferson, who is seldom absent from the
minds of his fellow-citizens, lives retired
from the busy scenes in which he acted so
conspicuous a part, and devotes his tinu
pvincipaily to agricultural, philosophical
and literary pursuits. John Adams, who
retains in perfection that vigour ot Intel
lect fur which he was ever distinguished
resides in the state Which gave him birth,
venerated and beloved by nis country and
its friends. William Floyd resides, at
preseut, in.Oneida county, in this state.—
We believe lie fills no public station, but
lias ever been a steady patriot, and a uni
form friend to the repuDlican institution
ol'liis country. John Jay, with whose cha
carter and writings we are all familiar
lives in West Chester, t e county adjoin
ing this city, and at a very advanced-agi
retains a lull possesion of his faculties
and devotos his leisure to literary and pi

vve believe, upwards of eighty years of age
is collector of Newport, Rhode Island
and has been so since the adoption of the

to them the highest gratification—the best
of temporal rewards; ai.d to them the rising
generation should turn with veneration and

DESTRUC
Aljust, Jtmsraber.il,
About 7 o’clock oi Saturday evening, a
fire broke out in the louse occupied bv Na
thaniel Parke, on the south side of Wash-
i. ton-street, in tlri midst of a row of woo
den buildings. Thr.wind was south west,
and ere the fire wa» checked increased to
a smart breeze. i> The flames notwithstand
ing the accuMowed.exertions of the firemen
and citizens, spread with rapidity to the
west, until 21 buildings were consumed or
pulled down. The occupants of this row
were principally small grocers, mechanics
and laborers,' many of them in indigent
circumstances; and from the rapidity with
which the flames spread a considerable
portion of their furniture, clothing, dj’c.
consumed.
It is suggested by a writer in the Balti
more Patriot, and the suggestion is proba
bly correct, that it is the intention of Mr
Cl at to endeavor to procure at the next
session the passage ol a law authorizing a
commutation of soldiers’ bounty lands
for money, at the rate of one dollar per
acre. Tins measure, it appears to us would
be equally advantageous to both parties; to
the nation and to the soldier. The one
would save at least fifty per cent, of the ac
tual amount of the bounty, computing the
laud at its lowe-t real value ot two dollars
per acre; and the latter would gain at least
one hundred per cent, on the amount of his
sale, it now made. There is such an emu
lation among the soldiers to sell their pa
tents the moment they obtain them, that
sales are frequently made, it is said, at 50
dollars for the 160 acres, it is desirable,
for the interest of the soldiers, tiiat the in
tention to introduce such a proposition
should be generally known. The effect ot
a diffusion of this information will be, il
not to prevent tlie soldier from selling, to
secure to him a price nearer the value oi
Jiis land tiian he can no* obtain.—-Nation

principles, and fixiug them in a position to

renders it necessary to suggest some new
improvement by whidh ships can be repair
ed with facility, and a diminution of la
bour. This machine will prevent the ne
cessity of dry dock-, which not only are
enormously expensive, but from the want
of sufficient water in ebbing and flowing of
the tide, insoinciif our principal naval de
pots, would be difficult to . erect, if tlie
machine can be constructed sufficiently
strong and durable, we see no other objec*

other articles of piracy have arrived here
nor any of what was here atyourdeparture
removed; but great sales at vendue have
ueen made at Fernaudina, and at very hig.ii

Wednesday l9ih November 1817 at 7 in the
morning, running along’b'e North Carolina shore,
between Cur. ituck and Huano&ke inlets,—saw a
ship onshore with her top sails and courses part
ly clewed up—Wc then kept close in to see if any
signal fi-r assistance was made—saw the sea break
ing over the ship and no signal; but saw a num
ber of people on shore, near the wreck which in-
diiced tlie belief that a part of the crew and passen
gers had been put on shore, as there were only
i or people to be seen on board the ship. We
had passed the wreck but a little while bifore we'
saw a boat ahead of us, ab.rtit five miles from the
wreck—soon came up with her and took the men
on board. They proved to be part of the crew"of
the ship on shore, who had been ordered to lajriry
her to take the rest of the crew out; but I
