lation frigates, and two (loops of war, under the command of Com. Shaw, have been left in the Med iterranean for the prote&ion of our commerce against the predatory excursions of the states of Barbary. It is to be hoped that the govern ment will not fuffer the naval spirit of the country to be broken down by a relaxation of those measures which (hall tend to preserve that patriotic zeal, fortitude and gallant ry which has given so much glory to the Republic. Let those heroic officers who have so valiantly fought for “ Free Trade and Sailors * Rights** be am ply rewarded. Veterans in service are entitled to rank—the moft ac ceptable reward of the man who bares his arm in battle —and it is confidently presumed that another Congress will not close its session without establishing a grade of Ad mirals. The Secretary of the Navy, with the just feelings of a public officer and a proper regard for the honor and best interests of the navy of the United States, has particularly recommended to Congress this im portant and neceflary measure. ft is a thing unexampled in the an nals of the world, to fee a fleet of twenty fail, mounting nearly fix hundred cannon, and manned with five thousand of as gallant seamen as*ever failed, commanded by a Post Gaptain, and who in any o ther service would long since have been promoted to an Admiral, for the distinguished and important ser vices He has rendered his country, j in advancing its by his devotion to flag. Jp s the and f/k niteft, navigator he merits the applau- union. Lgt it not be a Reproach to the nation, that such an officer, the hero of the vi&ory of the fedva, should be unrewarded by a retention of those honors which prompt the brave in deeds of noble daring. Our valiant com modores are growing grey in the service, and for fifteen years have faithfully served the nation. The nation will not forget, it cannot ne gle& them. Junior officers expeft promotion, & the feinor ones have richly earned the best reward of valor.— Boston Patriot . v Norfolk, November THE W A >F SAFE! !! A young gentleman in this Borough, who has a brother a Lieut, on board the Guerriere, and another a Midfiiip tnan on board the Wasp, received a letter yesterday from his mother at King’s Creek, mar Williamsburg .• in which ihe announces the receipt of a Itter from her son, the Lieut, of the Guerriere, informing her that he has heard from the Wasp; that she was on the Coast of Brazils. The Federal Judges of the Supreme Court cf Vermont, have been remov ed from office; and the Hon. Mefirs Aldis of St, Albans, Richard Skinner of Manchester, and James tifk of Bar re, now compose that court. This re moval of men who have protected the l'mugglere and traitors...who fined the gallant Mticdonough for detaining a raft of timber intended to “ aid and afii.fl” the enemy in conftru&ing his fleet on Champlain, is loudly complained of by the Washingtonian and other federal papers.

American Mercury. SPECIE. On the 19th of October last, Spanish dollars were at par in England, and American dollars about four percent belo-w par. Bank notes and specie were therefore of equal value in England. The price of Spanish dollars is now nominally fifteen per cent, ahove par in Baltimore, which is seven per cent, less than they were sold for a few weeks since- Thejilay may be considered as fast approaching when our Banks will resume specie payments; and by the prudence of their officers they have fortunately retained the means of doing so, in spite of the exertions of eastern speculators to send the, specie abroad. Baltimore Federal Gazette. HYPOCHONDRIA. There lived at Taunton a person of some property, who had lately filled the office pf over seer with much credit and integrity ; he was a remarkably nervous subject, and perhaps carri ed hypochondria further than any of his prede cessors. He would keep the house for several weeks, under an idea of danguer in going a brnad. Sometimes lie was a cat, seated on his hind quarters, and occasionally Spitting at the person who brought hi in food ; at others, he would fancy himself to be a teapot, and stand with one arm akimbo like the handle, and the other stretched out like the spout. But his last imaginary state was the most singular ; he imagined himself dead, and would not be mov ed till the coffin came Never having carried his ‘thick coming fencies’so far before, Mrs. ; —, in serious alarm, sent fbf a surgeon; who addressed him with the usual salutation, ‘ Mr.— —, how do voir do this morn ing ? ‘ Do!’ replied he in a low voice, * a pretty question to a dead man !’ ‘ Dead, sir’ what do you mean,!’ * Yes! I died last Wednesday, the coffin will be here presently, and I shall be buried to-mor . ow.’ The surgeon, a man of sense and skill, imme diately thought o's a scheme that promised suc cess; with a serious, steady countenance he felt lus pulse, and shaking his head, said, ‘£ find it is indeed too true ! you are certainly defunct, the blood is in a state of stagnation, putrefac tion is about to take place, and the sooner yotr are buried the better.’ The coffin arrived, he was carefully placed in it, and carried towards the church. The sur geon, perfectly acquainted with his character, knew wive re he was vulnerable, and acting ac cordingly, had given instructions to several n ighbors how to proceed. The procession ; ..d scarcely moved a dozen yards, when a per son stopped to enquire, who they were carrying the “grave ? ‘ Mr.— , oar late worthy overseer.’ ‘ What ! & ike old rogue gone at last! a good release, for a greater villain never lived.’ The imaginary deceased no sooner heard this attack on hischaracter, than he jumped up, & ina threatning posture said,‘you lyingscoun drel, if I was not dead, I’d make you suffer for what you say, but as it is, lam forced to sub mit.’ lie then quietly lay down again; but ere they had proceeded halfway to church, another person stopped the procession with the same enquiry, and added invective and abuse. This was more than our supposed corps conld bear ; he was wrought up to a degree of frenzy, and jumping from the coffin, was in the act of fol lowing his defamers, when the whole party burst into an immoderate fit of laughter, and so far abashed this valetudinarian, that ashamed of public exposure, and awakened to a proper sense of his folly, he fought against the weak ness, and in the end conquered it.
