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 -denly aflumedthe refemblancc of tVo oppoling columns of fcMers, and Itemed to commence regular fire of fan all arms, the reports of which’Were dlftimftly )h tar i y. appearance was continued for feme mumtes, w hen terrible ftaffi and explosion it vaniftied into fmcke Sh°u this be real, it is probable that the/ M^/i,Mi a recommencement of blood asd (laughter in thefo entries.

Ne%v Tork, November 27; Forts Trumbull and Gris. Wold, and the Pier in New Haven,’have been ceded to the L mted States by the Legislature of Connecticut. Handed for publication by Capt. Abed. 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 manglddbytheeiiplofioiu ‘ Philadelphia, November 22.
