On Tuesday last came up to Five Fathom Hole, the
ihip Polly and Harriot, capt. Noble, from Liverpool,
which place (lie left the 4th of last month. Capt. Noble
having left his papers on board we have not yet been able
to obtain a fight of them. The articles of molt importance
they are said to contain are, that, by orders from the era
pror ofßuffia, 300 British vessels had been seized in the
different ports of his dominions, and the captains and
crews imprisoned; and that the king of Prussia had taken
poffeflion of Hamburgh and Cruxhaven, and intended
inarching an army of 60,000 men into the electorate of
Hanover.
By an arrival from Martinique we learn that all the
Americans who were in confinement at Guadeloupe have
been set at liberty.
Several of the northern papers mention the appointment
of John Jay, efq. as chief juflice of the United States, in
the room of Oliver Ellfwoith, efq. resigned.
MERRY WEDDING.
Married, at Perth, in Scotland, tnr. Robeif Melville,
aged 67, to miss Ross, aged 19. The dilparity of years
between this happy pair was not the mod remarkable
thing attending the marriage; the bridegroom’s mother,
above 100 years of age, danced several reels at the wed
ding with as much agility as a girl of 20.
In the town of Bellirica, (Maffachuletts) is now living
amr. Ebenezer Richardson, a refpeftable farmer, who
was married at the age of 2a to a young woman of 21, by
whom he had 11 children; after her decease, at 40 he
married one of 22, at 47 one of 46, at 53 one of 50, at
60 one of 53, at 66 one of 45, at 75 one of 56; the 7th
wife is in a declining ftatc of health, while mr. Richard
son, now at 77, enjoys a gbed constitution, manages his
farm with great skill and industry, and bas the bejl pro

Hamburgh , November *B.
An express has this instant arrived with the difagrcfcable
intelligence that an embargo has been laid on all the Br
tilh (hips (70 in number) in the port of Riga.
Glafgonv , December 2.
A letter from Vienna, of the 3th November, fays, that
bodilities had already commenced in Italy, and that in
fb ti lions had been sent off to count Cobenzel not to enter
into explicit negotiations for peace till the French had e-
Ucuated Tuscany.
Augufla , January 14.
On Sunday evening last, about 7 o'clock, a fire broke
cut in this city, in the~houfe belonging to the estate of
the late Henry May, occupied by mr. Orafmus Allen, in
-Rvoad-ftreet, which, being directed by a f,mart westerly
breeze, fnon communicated to the adjoining buildings to
the eaflward, nor couTd the uttnoft exertions of the citizens
arreff itsprogrtf., until it had laid in ashes the whole range
of buildings, from its beginning to the corner of Washing
ton and Broad-streets, opposite mr. S. Blache’s; besides the
building where the fire originated, the stores occupied by
tor. Carter, mr. Metcalfe, mr. Carmichael, and those of
fir. John Fox, with all the out buildings connected there
*‘di, were entirely consumed. The house belonging to
m - W. White was saved by the well direfted efforts of
t’e citizens, and mr. Blache’s corner owes its preservation
to extraordinary exertions, which merit grateful acknow
ledgment; had the fire gained head there, with the wind
*’ it then was, extenlive indeed would have been the de
ftruzv-oM. Several houses, we under (band, in situations re
>te from the feene of distress, were tndangered by the
lh',we- of coals and sparks that were carried by the wind
to i cmfidurable diftmee from the flames, and one or two
* er= aftuaHy on fire, but difeovered iu time to prevent
ui .ner evil. Toe lo~s by this dreadful accident we pre
“irie not to estimate, it must have been great, as tlie rapid
ptogohs oi the flames prevented the removal of almofl all
fom the cellars, and many from the upper part of
toe buildings consumed, and the precipitate removal of the
h;v?d ncceflarily occasioned confiJerable damage.
f . Qc uiunti’er companies exhibited a promptitude and ac-
J’ ’v highly pleating, as well in their exertions during the
the ready establishment of guards to .prevent
7V, “ xn f-'cure the property removed, which necef
a-iiv remained in the ftrett through the night. I* is but
C **- -
juflice to mention that the voluntary .exertions of several
negroes on the occasion merit commendation and reward;
their ‘afliflaiice greatly tended to prevent the fire from
communicating to mr. Blache’s buildings when the intense
heat ahnoft destroyed the liopes of their fafety; one parti
cularly, on the roof of the house, was only enabled to en
dure the heat by covering himfelf with .a blanket, which
was frequently wet from the engine; nor can we forbear
contrasting their condufl with that of a few white periops
who were patient and unmoved fpe viators of the l'preading
ruin.
With the exception of these few instances the efforts of
■ our citizens were unwearied, and their exertions well ap
plied, and, while we sincerely sympathize with the {offer
ers, we cannot but feel sensations of gratitude, considering
the appearance at one time exhibited, that the conflagra
tion did not become more extensive.
We observed with pleasure the concern manifefted, and
the afliftance afforded, during the fire, by several ft rangers
then in town, and though we can add little to the fatisfac
tion which their own reflections will produce, yet we can
not forbear exprefling our iincere thanks for their feeling
and generous juftivity.
