maintenance, to fome uninhabited
ifland. Nine of the mutineers, with,
their fervants and women accor
dingly embarked and brought the
Ihip to Pitcairn’s Ifiand, where, af
ter ftripping her, Ihe was burnt.—
He further lays, that in the ccurfe
of fometime the fervants refe on

himfelf, Smith, he having efcaped
with a piftol Ihot in his neik. He
was in a few days afterwards .ound
in this ft ate in the woods by the
women, who by a well contrived
plan had killed all the fervants, fo
that of the mutineers, Smith now
only was alive; ever lince he
(Smith) had continued to live with
them. The children which thefe
women had, and thole they were
pregnant with, at the time their
husbands were killed, had increafrd,
and thofe they had inftructed in the
Engldli language, and Proteftant

years he hr.d been on the ifland, he

at a great diftance. Capt. Foiges

fairs were conducted in the fame
manner as the peafantry in England \
that the girls and boys were very
handfeme and well proportioned,
and rhac he never met with better
conducted people in his life; chat
the women were rigidly virtuous,
and that no clergyman could have a
better conducted flock than Smith
had. He declared that he never
would quit the ifland, and ’fever a
king’s Ihip touched there he would
fecret himfelf, as he never expedbed
the EngVifh government would par
don faim. On Capt. Folges telling
him of the vi<stories of the Englilh
navy over France, he wept for joy,
like a child.
A young man of reputable con
nexions, by the name of Morton,
was capitally convicted of defraud
ing the Britifh Bank. While he
was lying in prifon, and in the ago
nizing expedition of fuffering a
fhameful execution, a pretended
friend of the name of D—, who
had formed the diabolical plan of
fpeculating by the tranfa&ion, vi
fired him, and with profeflions of
the warmtft benevolence offered to
affift him to tfcape, which he effec
tually effected, and Morton fled to
France.
]) , then betook himfelf to
the dire<ftors of the bank, who were
much disappointed at the efcape of
their vidbim, and offered to deliver
him into their hands, on condition
that they would pay him fourthou
fand pounds, which D finding
that he could get no mere, accept
ed.
The matter being fettled, D——
wrote to Morton that his friends
with a good pro fpedfc of fucccfs,
were attempting to obtain his par
don. A few clays after, he wrote
that his pardon was obtained, and
he might return in iafety. Mr.
Morton received the intelligence
with tranfports of joy, and enter
taining no fufpicion of his pretend
ed friend, to whom alone he had
confided the knowledge of the place
of his retreat, returned with all
fpeed to England, and was lmme
dia>:e!y arrelbed and executed \
B——— received the four thou
fand pounds together with the exe
cration of millions of people, as the
reward of his atrocious perfidy.

A man of the name of Boiffon,
pofftffed of confiderable property
at Grenoble, in Dauphiny, was
lately tried for efpcufmg his own
daughter. His principal cbjeft in
contracting rhele fhameful nuptials,
was to fecure a Itnad eftate, to
which the grl, only 16 years of
age, was entitled :c on her marria
age. The judge, after hearing of
the parties, uiTdved the unnatural
union, and canfifcated two thirds of
the culprit’s property, ordered him
to undergo a public ex petition of
feverai hours, and to be imprilon
ed fevea years.

On the 17th of June Eft, I took
my departure from Block-Eland,
bound to St. Barrs. We were
fteering E. S. E. and a foutheily
wind was blowing very brifk \ the
fky was cludy and fqcafly, accom
panied with rain, {harp lightning,
loud thunder, and a rough lea. At
th'-ee days fail from Block-Ifland,
in lat. 30, 58, N. long 70, 25, W.
at 11 o’clock at nighr, a fharp and
uncommon noife was heard aftern
of the vefifel, refembling fomewhat
the report of a piftol, at two diftind
and different times. A few min
utes after this noife, the clouds fep
arated over head in the form of a
fog-rainbow, and at that moment a
ftor.e r ;ll on our deck , and at the fame
time a large quantity fell in the water
under cur lee at the diftance Ifhould
judge of about twelve feet. In aboac
five or fix feconds afterwards, the
fog-rainbow defeended to the hori
zon. I fwppofe, from the quantity
that fell in the water, that had they
fell on board, we fhould have fuffer
ed material injury. The ftonc that
fell upon the deck I have preferved,
it weighs above fix ounces, is of the
colour of iron, and appears to be
impregnated with copper. Wheth
er this (tone was drawn up by a ws
ter-fpout, which broke a little
aftern of us, I leave for others to
judge. The weather (bill continued
very thick and cloudy, attended
with rain, fharp lightning, heavy
thunder and a rough fca. This
