by the direfricnef one of the
medical affifiancc, who hss paid
due attention to the subject of
suspended animation.
“ The above methods are to
be employed vvith vigor for

and dangerous opinion to fup

ruble becaufc l.fe does not fuon
make its appearance : an opini
on that has consigned to the
grave an innumerable number of
the feemirgly dead, who might
have been rtflored to life by re
solution and perseverance.
fC The above methodsof res
toring life are applicable to va
lious other cases of apparent
•Sudden death, whether from
hanging, apople&ic and convul

damps or noxious vapours, pro

The lady who was pleased to
confirm my opinion of the me
dical virtues of the common bri
er in a recital of her own expe
rience, merits my approbation
an:! thanks, and also of the pub
lic generally, which I doubt not
she abundantly poflefles. She
requeits information of the kind
fufed—l gave it cheerfully. It
was the common tall black ber
ry brier, or the rubus fri<sb cofus
or linnmus, and not what she al
’udes to, yet I presume the me

NEW-YORK, July 23.
The U. S. gun boat No. 3,
commanded by a lieutenant, and
having 24 men on board, from
New-York, was artacked in the
gut of Gibraltar, by three Spa
nifii privateers, and after a smart
engagement boarded and took
poircffion of her, and carried
her into Aigefiras j where in
consequence of the remonftran
ee 1 of the American office 13 she
was shortly after liberated. The
day previous to her capture,
three gun-boats, and two other
United States veffeis, schooners,
failed from the harbor of Gi
braltar to the eaflvvard.
The ffiip New-York, capt.

“ By the encloied papers,
[omitted] you will perceive the
insulting style in which the Spa
niards mention in their public
prints, an occurrence which took
place a few days since of the at
tack and capture of one of the
United States gun-boats, No. 3,
by three Spanilh privateers; the
result of this business we are yet
ignorant of, though it is said the
boat has been given up—the
capture appears to have been
intended more as an infulc than

HORRID MURDER.
Ey.tr aft of a letter from a gentle
man in Jamesville, (S. C.) to
the Editor of the Courier.
t: On Monday the 29th ult.
about 4 o’clock in the afternoon,
Mr. Thomas Maples was shot,
near his dwelling house, on the
High Hills of Santee, by his
oldcft son, Richard Maples, a
bout 23 years of age, who had
secreted himfelfin the gin-house
for thatexprefs purpclC. This
attrocious youth, in whom every
principle of humanity seems to
be extmft, had leaded his rifle
with three large buck shot; saw
his father coming from his
dwelling house, and waited in
his concealment, ii 1 he had got
fourteen paces pad the gin-house
then deliberately took aim,
through a crevice between the
logs of tne house, horrible to
reiaie ! at ms father!—The shot
penetrated his back, and came
out through his bread.
“ A jury of inquest wts sum
moned early on the day follow
ing. The murderer confefTed
his crime, ana made fome trivi
al excuses for ins condudt. He
was committed to Camden goal,
together with his mother and
brother, who were charged as
accefiaries to the Murder.
Mr. Maples was one of the
oldefl settlers in his neighbour
hood, and had always lupported
the character of an honest, in
dustrious, and good man.”

Foreigners.—~Y he feds are con
tinually bellowing agai ok
ere interfering in our political
concerns. In this as in all-their ‘
clamours they betrayed the grof
fell inconMency and absurdity.
This country but a short period
back, was difeovered and peo
pled by foreigners — of our revo
lutionary army a large portion
were foreigners and what is now
in federal eyes an unpardonable
fin, they wer clrifomen ——War-
ren, Montgomery, Lee, La Fay
ette, wtih many others of our
firft heroes, nay even fainted
Hamilton himfclf were foreign
ers. And of late, the two great
est idols next to Hamiltpn, which
federaiifm has had, namely Cob
bet 6c Callender , w ere foreigners l
And the. molt virulent and vio
lent federal paper printed on
the continent, the Charleston
Courier,” is edited by a foreign
er, who fled from his country
and from justice I Furthermore,
molt of the capital merchants of
our leaport towns, who are con
tinually driving to bias our go
vernment to favor the mercan
tile interest, though war, taxation
and tyranny should be the una
voidable conftquence—molt of
these commercial Leviathans,
are foreigners, who are liege fub
jedts to a foreign monarchy.—
Yet the feds have the confumate
impudence to denounce foreign
ers—though they have welcom
ed, fullered and supported, feme
of the vilest wretches which
justice ever scourged from a
foreign Ihore !
The truth is, foreigners, like
all other men, ought'to be held
in estimation according; to their
conduit. A foreigner who em
barks himfelf, his family, his
fortune, his all with ours, and
who behaves himfelf well, after
the legal probation, is as much
entitled to a voice in our con
cerns, because he is as much
interested, as a native citizen.—•
On the other hand, native citi
zens, as well as foreigners, who
abuse the bit flings with which
Providence has pre-eminently
favored this country, ought to
be diveiled of ail public confi
dence and private cftcem.
