fucceflion came the emperor mounted on a hue Mg>i
horse, with the grand duke riding on his rignt, and a vaii
body of guards closed the procefiion.
Tlie church ceremony commenced by the arclibnhop

empress mother entered the cathedral under a hahite ox
cannon and a feu de joie, and took her feat, Which was
prepared on the left hand of the throne. Ihe emperor
and emorels followed, and then the nobility of both sexes,
who were {bated on each fide of the cathedral. Ibe prayers
were performed by the archbilhop Platon, affilled by tr.e
bishops, whole dress was uncommonly magnu cent; the
ceremonies, music, Sec. engaged a conliderable time, and
after a iermon, suited to the occafioti, two bflnops ad
vanced with the crown, and, under a lalute 01 cannon,
placed it on the head of the emperor. The feene was
grand and impressive beyond the power of defcnption.
The emperor then placed a crown of the moft exqiuhce

■giving weight to the lolemnity. After the ceremonies of
the church were over their majesties walked round the
Kremlin, under a canopy of gold Imd silver, and proceed
ed to the hall to dinner.
The cathedral is small, but the ceremony was managed
with lingular precision. The Englifti gentlemen, of whom
17 were present, had feats aifigned them, ana, to avoid
confufion, were, with all the other fpeefators, except
fuel l , as formed the proceiiion, obliged to attend soon in
the morning.
The illuminations of the city continued for three nights.
The Kremlin is particularly adapted for such an exhibiti
on, and was uncommonly brilliant.
The Englifti and other flrangers were presented to their
majesties on Tuesday, and in the evening there was a
iplendid ball at court. Ihe rejoicings are enthufiatiic.
To day a fete is to be given to the populace; a large field
is enclosed, and tables placed for the accommodation of
many thousands, and a profulion of wines and viands are
prepared, with a variety of amulements. lhe weather
has been and continues to be very favorable.
London, November 7* Lind Chatham, as master
general of the ordnance, mr. Pitt, and alio a number of
the noblemen> who attended at St. James’s palate yester
day, took particular notice of the model of a turning
moveable battery, invented by an ingenious artifi of the
name of Gillelpie, for the protection of the sea coasts in
the case of invasion; it was brought for his majesty’s in
fpedion: The materials of the machinery are so con
.ftructed that the heavy ordnance can be dire bled with the
greatest facility, according to the position of the enemy;
and so easy is its process that only five persons, who re
main in perfect fafety in tl'.e machine, are required to do
the duty.
December 17.> We daily receive the moft diftrefting
accounts of the effects of the late stormy weather. Thgfe

by a neutral vessel arrived at Harwich, that no less than
£4 Englifti veffc-ls have been wrecked between the Texel

on the shore, and carried for interment to the fliille. The

B OSTON, fa n ua ry *t o.
ON Monday evening, about 7 o dwelling
houfe of melTrs. Stephen and Ebeuczer Goff, hotife
wrights, on Fort Hill, was dilcovered enveloped in fire,
which in a few minutes communicated to a house improved
by mrs. Spear,'■and both, with leveral out buildings, were
reduced to alhes in a very lliort time. It lias not, we be
lieve, been correctly afeertained where tlie fire firft took,
but it is luppofed in the work (hop of melfis. Golfs, which
adjoined the house. Unhappily neither of them were at
home when the fire took place, and such was the extreme
rapidity of the flames that scarcely an article was laved
from their house; and what adds inexoreluble poignancy
to the general lorrow, a prommng child of mrs. S. Golf’s,
of four years of age, being aileep in an upper chamber, pe
rilhed in the flames. Its remains were found yesterday
morning amongst tlie ruins.
And last evening, about half past 7, another fire broke
out'in a fl.op on Howard’s wharf, which entirely conlum
ed that and other ftiops, together with a quantity of naval
stores and tools. The ftiops were improved by mr. I).
Howard, caulker; mr. Jacob Libby, Ihip wriglit; mr. Tho
mas Hichborn, boat builder; mr. John Cheelinan, black
smith; and mr. Hall, Ihip joiner. The buildings were own
ed by the heirs of the late mr. Thomas Hichborn.
” The lumber yard belonging to mr. Balch, and several
stores adjacent, were at times on fire; but the prompt fiup
ply of water to the engines from Mill Creek confined the
conflagration to the buildings in which it originated.
On both the above occalions we v/ere happy in observing
the ready and general compliance of the citizens with the
advice and suggestions given by the fire wards in their late
address to the public.
Just as this paper was going to press (12 o’clock last
night) a third fire broke out in the large work (hop belong
ing to melTrs. Webber and Page, Ihip wrights, in Oliver’s
Dock, which entirely consumed the fame. Some small
buildings were pulled down to prevent the spreading of the
flames.
I here cannot, in our opinion, exist a doubt es this bein°”
an incendiary attempt of fome villain or” villains; and that
anoth*rttempt was dete&ed about the fame time in the
fame quarter of the town.
Wajbington, January 24. The secretary of the navy
has received a letter from commodore Dale, dated Malaga
Day, 7th November, 1801, which makes no mention of

Capt. Carpenter observed that his people were very mer

was nearly burnt to tlie water’s edge at her arrival. Mr.
Micheau, owner of the sloop, was on board, and favs that’

Raleigh, January 26. Died in Johnston countv, a
bout three weeks ago, mr. Levi Baily, an inhabitant of
that county.
‘l'iie circumstances connected with his death are of so
finguiar a nature that we think them worthy of be it a re
lated.
Three days before his death his brother in law, of the
name of William Carter, came to his house, and impor
tuned him to go out in the afternoon and hunt for deer
and after a goou deal of perfualion he consented. Carter
was obliged to g 0 home for his rifle, and a particular
place in a much frequented path was appointed for then
place of meeting. Baiiv arrived there firft, and
lat down by the fide of the path. In a few minutes he
law Carter at the distance of 200 yards coming up to him,
and he came up so near that Baily heard him walking in
the leaves, and supposed that he was not more than 40 or
50 yards distance, -but fays lie did not at the moment fee
him, as he was examining the lock of his gun. Carter
lat down to obtain a rest for his rifle an/1 fired. The ball
penetrated Baily’* right (boulder, pafled under the (boul
der blade, and lodged against the shoulder blade of the
oppolite fide. Carter instantly ran up, and laid be had
mistaken him for a buck. Daily lurvived three davs; he
had no power of motion or sense of feeling in the* body
and lower extremities; he felt no pain, and conversed
freely until a few minutes before his death. Carter at
tended him until he that he was dying, when
he ablconded, and has not since been heard of.
Some time previous to this disaster Carter’s wife and
her lifter (both fillers of Baily) were walking in a field
together; Carter fired on them, and wounded his wife’s
lifter in a (hocking manner; lhe however recovered. Carter
then said that he lliot at a gang of wild turkies which
were at fome distance from them.
These two events are of so uncommon occurrehce, and
have so near resemblance to each other, that many are
inclined to believe they would not both have happened
without the agency of design.
Cbarlejlon, February 2. A meeting of the Cofferers
by French spoliations was held at Baltimore on the evening

February 4. The (hip Flora, Thilfell, from New
York for this port, is on ftiore near New Inlet, on the
coast of North Carolina. Several persons who were pal
fen gers in her arrived in this city by land the evening be

found neceflary to dilpofe of it there; fome hopes were
entertained that the (hip would be got off.
Capt. Dry burgh informs that all vessels which arrived at
the Havana prior to the 4th of January had been admitted
to enter, but all which have arrived lince will have to
