Hague, July 12. We have an account from Antwerp
which mentions a lingular accident that occurred in the
Scheldt on Saturday Jaft.’ The Philadelphia, capt. Cooper,
of 450 tons, of and from Philadelphia, was run aground,
either through the negligence or ftupknty of the pilot, near
Braz, and the greatefl part of the cargo Joft. As it hap
pened in a place where the sand bank is known to all filh
ernien, and even children, it being particularly marked,
and as the accident occurred at 5 o’clock in the afternoon,
with a fair wind, we are full of conjectures that it was
done wilfully, and think that the pilot was bribed in order
to circulate an idea that our river is infective, and even
dangerous. The pilot made his escape with the captain’s
consent, otherwise it. is more than likely that he would have
been killed by the enraged populace. The flop was laden
with colonial and East India.produce* A finall part of it has
been brought up by two of the lighters, but the rest is ir
recoverable.

Edinburgh , June 10. The Aberdeen Journal of
yeflerday, received this day, contains the following ac
count.
“ On Friday last the anniversary of his majesty’s birtli
ft ay was oblferved in this city v/ith the usual marks of jo*,.
At 12 three vollies were fired by the Ross and Cromarty
rangers in the barrack yard, and the vonng men of the
different incorporations made a procefTion through the
town, with their colors and the insignia of their different
trades, and made a very I hewy appearance. At 6 o’clock the
tnagiftrates and principal inhabitants a lie m bled in the town
hall, where the usual healths, and other appropriate toasts,
were drank, followed by repeated vollies of mufketrv by
a detachment of the military drawn up on the plainftones.
‘ k I bus far the day was (pent with that feftivity which
has long distinguished the‘.nhai/wnts of this loyal city. 1
But it now becomes our painful duty to relate the melan* !
choly events of the evening, which led to conffequences
that we can never fufftcieijtly deplore. An unfortunate
affray took place between the boys in the street and fome
of the ofneers and privates of the Ross and Cromarty rang
ers, theh on guard in Cattle street, who, being joined by
the rest of the corps from the barracks, ran upon the people
in the street with their arms in their hands, and began iir
ing upon them with ball, indil’criminately, and in every
direction, and iome were even seen taking deliberate aim
at individuals.
4 ‘ Many of the bullets Went through windows and doors j
in the wt-tt end f Cattle street, and in the head of the Ship •
row and Narrow wynd, and others were found at a great
ciil twice through the town.
“ As far as we can learn the following were the fatal
confequenc.es that enftied: One man, a native of this place,
and a private in the ritie corps recruiting here, who was
attending at the corner of the plainftones, was fhotthrough !
the head, and instantly died on die spot; Thomas Milne,
a mason, John Moir, a young boy, and only lbn of r j
widow, and William Gibb, apprentice to a barber, were {
all mortally wounded, and died next day; and ten more j
persons, as near a$ we Can learn, were vaivutty wounded. ;
Upon being informed of the unhappy affair the provoftand
nwgiftrates with becoming spirit instantly interfered, and !
the whpU corps were ordered into the barracks. A I’ufri
cient guard of armed citizens was immediately mounted, .
to prevent all communication with the regiment, which,
in the irritated state of the public mind, might have led to
further fatal mi Tournees. !
Anlnvdligation of tins lamentable affair wa> instantly j
fit on loot by the magistrates, and is now going on, but
oi the utils of svideuce, brought forward it won Id be highly
j improper In us to take particular notice. Several of the
: olhcers, also four llrjeams and one private, are in custody,
| to abide the result of the jnveftigation.
j C£ On Saturday, at 12 o’clock, an exp refs was sent off
to Edinburgh to the comtnander in chief; the penon who
carried ir, with an alacrity which did him much credit, re
turned by 3 o'clock on Monday morning with the neceffaiy
orders, and yeflerday morning, about 1 o’clock, the regi-
I ment marched out of town in dead ftlence, and without
beat of drum, by the way of the Broad hill and Old Town
links, on their route northwards; at the bridge of the Don
they formed into two divillons, one of which look the road
to Old Meld rum, and the other the road to Ellon.’’

in a rage, returned the prelent, and vowed her hufbar.
fliouid never be bribed with her confect. The officious
friends were for fome time at a loss how to prpceed, but
at last thought of prelent;rig a lottery ticket for dame’s
acceptance, and (hares for her children. This clenched
the buftnefs; the farmer voted for the gem’in an, and he
got his election. The ticket was afterwards drawn a prize
of 20,000 h

WE have been favored with the following extracl of
a letter from a gentleman at Guadeloupe, late of
this place, on whole veracity we have the molt implicit re
liance.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Guadeloupe,
ijl July, 1802.
“ I dined at Bafieterre yeflerday, and as the fttuation of
that island makes l'uch a tioife at present perhaps the follow
ing particulars, which may be depended on, will be ac
ceptable.
“ Two ftiips of the line, 74’s, and five frigates, arrived
from France, with about 3500 troops on board, part of
thofewho were at the battle of Marengo, with five gener
als.
“ Loft since their arrival, in engagements with the ne
groes, and through sickness at Point Petre, two generals
and 600 men.
“ Inhabitants killed by the blacks from Fort Matilda,
100 to 110.
“ Negro rebels killed and blown up, 3000; executed,
500. Gen. Rigaud’s brother, (a fhulatto) and three white
lads about 18 years of age, executed 26th June.
“ I law eight prisoners brought in from the country,
which, with 16 in custody, will be executed to morrow.
w Shipped on board four frigates w hich failed last week,
with orders to be opened in latitude , bound, it is
supposed, for the island of Rattan, 300 c.
“ Total disposed of, 6500.
“ Gen. Pelage is a prifoncr ori board of one of the 74’s,
to be sent to France.
“ The conquerors of Italy are a parcel of beardless boys,

Pirates. By capt. Johnson, of the American flyop
Aftrea, from New York, who arrived on the 13th instant,
we are informed, that.on tlie 2d, in the evening, in lat.
32. long. 70. he law an armed fliip bearing down on him,
but as Hie made no signals he kept on his covtrffe. In tiie
night, however, he found that the laid fliip liad dogged
him, and was dole on board. He was hailed from her
immediately, but their iariguage was unintelligible. He
answered he was from New York, bound to ‘New Provi
dence. Capt. Johnson perceived, by lome movements on
board the (hip, that file meant to fire into him; which they
did several times, so as to damage his fails'and rigging.
He made an appearance of furfendering his vefiel, and
hoified out his boat, and sent her off towards the (hip; but,
in the mean time, having repaired his rigging, he took ad
vantage of fome confulion on board of the, ftiip, and made
fail, having firft taken i\ the people from the boat. From
superior failing, and the darknds of the night, capt. John
son escaped. The privateer is a black looking fliip, with
tight ports of a fide.
This day the high court of vice admiralty, called for
the purpole of trying sundry persons charged with piracy,
vvab held agreeable to adjournment. James Ward and
* M‘Evoy were found guilty, and lentence of death
palled on them.
BOSTON, September 6.
THE iusability of the weather for a week or ten days
pall has been extremely unfavorable to the health
of our citizens, particularly to children. No contagious
sickness, liowever, Is prevalent among us; and we have
reason to believe that, from the peculiarity of our situati
on, and other causes favorable to the health of men, we
we shall never be aiflidled with those malignant levers
which have unhappily prevailed in moft of our southern
seaport tow ns.

™ . , RE CLEfiC
Ihe paper printed at Newburg, in the state of Net
*ork, Align ft tq, fays: We are informed, by two gentle
men who palled through Connecticut Farms, New Jersey,
on Friday last, that a mod horrid deed was committed m
the evening before, by a person of the name of Seaman;
the circumstances, as near as we can recollect, are as foi
lows: Mrs. Seaman had been out tb one of the neighbors
on the afternoon of ThuH'day, and two of their children
had been to l'chool; on the return of mrs. Seaman and the
children it was supposed that mr. Seaman, after fliutticj
up the house and fattening the doors, proceeded to butcher
his wife and children. An axe was found in the room,
which it is possible was the inftrunient he used to execute
the horrid butchery, as the marks of the axe were plainly
difeovered on her forehead, the icull being da(hed to pieces
and a pillow was found lying under her head. The chil
dren, it is supposed, white this was traniacling, had fled
upflairs, where they were pursued and mafl'acretl by their
inhuman father, in a manner too (hocking to relate. After
these wicked and barbarous proceedings he fmifhed the hor
rid catattrophe by blowing out his own brains, liis head be
ing ahnoft entirely (hot from his body, and his brains feat
tert.d over the room. r i he following morning, the house
being (hut longer than usual, the neighbors got a ladder,
and difeovered the Children in the upper room lying dead,
and the floor stained with blood. A magillrate was sent
for, and the house broke open. A jury of inqtieft was
called, bit* we have not heard thk verdid. It is conjecl
med he was deranged, as it was laid that he had for fome
time pad exhibited symptoms of insanity. He was in easy
circumstances, and his father resides in New York.
