November 14. Arrived, Ichooner Friendlhip, Capt.
Elilha Snow, from Jamaica, 78 days. On tlie 4th Sep-*
tember, in lat. 22. 30. long. 84. Capt. Snow was Boarded
by tht? French privateer Revenge, belonging to Cape Fran
cois, who took out ail his hands except a black man, his
steward, and put on board Fix men, ordering vessel to
proceed to tlie Havana for trial. On the 10th September
, Capt. Snow and his Reward rofeupon the Frenchmen, and
after killing one of them; and wounding threj others; re
took the command of the vdlel, aml ordered the survivors
to hoist out the boat and go where they pleased, giving
them a supply of provilions and water, together with a
good compais and quadrant. -While pursuing his voyage
home Capt. Snow experienced frequent and heavy gales of
wind, and loft almost all his spars and rigging; he was fre
quently in want of provilions; but was providentially sup
plied leveral times through the humanity of thole he met
with at lea; he particularly acknowledges the polite and
friendly attention of Capt. James Dawson, of his Britannic
Majesty’s (loop of war tlie Karl Moira, and of Capt. Ed

clared that every American they capture they will strip

Haftford , November 24. History records frequent
instances of extraordinary, and sometimes of lupernatural
appearances, previous to die taking place of any great event
in the natural world. Those who dilbelieve every thing,
except what philolbphic investigation can demonstrate; will
call this dodtrine superstition; however, whether, it -be.iix
perftition or not, it is evident, if tlie moft authentic histo
rians can be credited; that there have ’ been appearances
which the moft refined philosophy hath not yet been able,
to account for.
Comets, though not supposed to be fitpemat'ufal, yet
have, by many, been judged •to be the forerunners of ex
traordinary events. How far their influence may affedt
the systems through which they pal's We know nit.
The handwriting on the palace wall of flelilmzzar, the
impious King ot Babylon, which happened at the time of
his sacrilegious fcaft, as mentioned in the book of Daniel,
was, in a high degree, iiipernatural. The event is cor
roborated by profane history. u In that night,” faith the
ftripture, “ was Belftiazzar, tlie King of the Chaldeans,
(lain, and Darius; the Mede, took the kiiigdom.” And
history informs us, that when Cyrus laid liege to Babylon
he turned the corirfe of the river Euphrates, (which ran
through the Biidft of tlie city) by cutting canals, and en
tering th: city, under the walls by the bed of the river,
with his whole army, on tlie night of a great feaft, took
the city, and flew the King, in the midst of his cups; after
which Darius took tlie kingdom.
Jolephus, and fome other jewifh writers; relate several
singular appearances which preceded the deftruc'tion of Je
rulalem, one cf which was, a flaming l'word, (probably a
comet) which hung over the city for one whole year.
Previous to the American war a remarkable comet made
its apjiearance in our horifon, for the lpace of about one
month, the train or tail of which very much relembled a
flaming lword. An uncommon fiery meteor was
ieen to fall, at mid-day, followed by a heaVy exph fion;
it was seen by leveral hundreds of people at the fame time,
fome of whom were several hundreds of miles asunder, while
tlie meteor, to ail who Taw it, appeared to be not more
than half a mile distant, though in different directions.
Just before the beginning of the French revolution two
comets were dilcovered in France, one of which travelled
with amazing fwiftriefs, had a very malignant afpeft, and
fetmed to Ihoot forth fiery dreams, as it palled along. At
the city of Lyons, it is laid, the inhabitants were alarmed,
on the Sabbath day, by the apparent noiie-of cannon and
linaH arms, which appeared to be in the air, and continued
fome time, many people leaving the churches in time of
mass to witnels io wonderful a circumftanee.
Avery remarkable phenomenon, it is laid, has lately
been seen in the north of Germany. Two clouds, of turbid
and angry afpecl, arofv fome distance from each, from which
iflued inceflant slashes of lightning, with loud peals of
thunder, exa€Uy refeinbhng a difdurge of cannon. After
they had afeended about half wa v to the zenith they fud

On the 23d ot August, the brig Aurora, Capt. Rcvnoldc
arrived at Port Plata with tlie crew of the French privateei
Sans Regret, which he had’ saved from the wreck of th*
laid privateer the day before. The circumstances were as
follows: On the 22'd August, about 4 leagues to leeward of
the old Cape, Capt.-Reynokls, on his pafiage from St. Tho
mas to Cape Francois, was brought to by the Sans Regret*,
at 4 p, m. and ordered to hoist cut his boat and ccn.e oft
board with his pajiers, which avas complied with. After
fome examination the Captain and officers W'ent on board
Capt* Reynolds, and left him and his boat’s crew cn board
the privateer, whctl the brig was particularly examined,for
papers, Src. Capt. Reynolds was then sent for and his
papers ftriftly overhauled; but they appearing to them fuf.
ficiiently regular; .it was agreed to let the brig proceed, and
tlie officers, See. returned for the privateer. At the very
moment the boat made the schooner, and tlie Captain was
about to board her, her magazine took fire and (he bhwup;
many o( the crew were thrown to a considerable iTffance
intb the sea; the people from the wreck begin immediately
to jump into the yawl, and were in danger of finking her,
but the Captain drew his dagger and forced them into their
own vessel, where they extinguiHied the fire. Cap% Per
nolds ordered his son, who was in the boat with two sea.
men, to proceed mid pick up ihe unfortunate men who had
been thrown in different direftions to a great distance, and
although the sea was considerable they saved every foul.
He at the fame time hailed the privateer, whose crew were
(truck with aftonifhtnent, and told them to come alongside
and he would take them on board the brig: Being kit a
small distance to the windward they let draw their jib, and
on coming alongside the crew had just time to get on board,
when their vessel funk alongside the Aurora.
I he boat was so near when (hg blew up that ti e Captain
of the privateer had his eyebrows burnt, and yet no one
was injured in the boat.
, This accident is said to have been occalioried by a young
man, who was hauling of a miHket by the muzzle which,
Jay by magazine, and jwhfcTi went riff arid set fire to the
whole of the powder they had ’pn board.
The Captain and people (although the crew of a French
privateer) speak very haridfomely.of the humanity of Capri
Reynolds on tins occasion; particularly of his humane at
ten ion to those unfortunate men who were burnt and
