Early yesterday morning, the inhabitants \ of this village »ere rouftd to oppose the fu ry, not of the firry but of the watery ele ment. Vail quantities of rain, having fallen »he preceding night'and collected from our mountains in torrents, too' mighty to be re tained in the wonted channels, had burst their bounds, and Were ruftting into different parts of our street with deftru&ive impetuosity. Many buildings were undermined and much injured ; the furface and produce of several gardens fvvtept away ; and a confidenble quantity of other property carried off or damnified. A fulling-mill, belonging to Mr. Sike6 in the north part of the town, a number of mills.and bridges in the vicinity have, we hear, been carried a\*ay by thia deluge. The extent we have not yet ascer tained. Citizen Monroe loudly demands the rea fpns of hjs recal.' Our faithful secretary of state offers to ivhifper them in the citizen's ear ; but he is determined not to hear a sin gle rcafon, unless given as Itvcily as he makes the demand. If reasons are ever offered, we hope they willbe fatiofaftory to the ci tizen, as he intends, it is supposed, if they appear inefficient, to resume his office. The progress of fraternal institutions augers well to civilization and to letters. A lodge of free and accepted ipafons has lately been confecratpd, at Amherft, in this date ; two others, at Groton and Munfon, Mass. with a pleasing display of elocution and sen timental hilarity. The latter is called the " Thomas Lodge," in honor of Isaiah Thomas, JLfq eminently distinguished by his attachment to the craft. The " Phi Beta Kappa" foeiety has given to the public the " Ruling Palfion," (a poem, which has extorted unbounded applause) and hare provided an ample past, at the next anniversary, for the literal ry epicure.

' Yesterday arrived here the American brig Sally, captain Tarry. 29 days from < Rhode-Island, with'a cargo or provition3, 1 lumber, and fifh, conflgned to Messrs. John 1 ChriftJe and Co. Wednesday last arrived the brig Polly, • captain M'Lean, belonging to this porf, in 1 32 days from tlie Bay of Honduras, loaded 1 with mahogny—The Polly mourns 4 guns ' 4 pounders, and her men 17 in number, in j eluding the capt'ain and a Mr. Cross, passen ger. Captain M'Lean diftiuguifhed himfelf by a mod able defence of his vessel, off this port, against a republican (loop privateer of 4 guns, and full of men, with mulqnetry and small arms. In , fight of the inhabitants of this town and neighborhood, at half past four in the afternoon, the a£lion commenced. The Polly was under a press of foil, with a frefn breeze, fleering dire&ly for the harbour* and the privateer within mufjeet (hot to windward. In this position a running fight was kept up for upwards of an hour, during which time the privateer fired 22 guns, ex clusive of muquitry, at the Polly ; finding (he would not strike, the desperado put his helm up, and made three different attempts to board. In the last (he run her jib boom direttly under the Polly's main boom, to board on the quarter ; fortunately, however, the firft man that attempted to get en the | Polly's boom, miffed his hold, and fell over board. „ 1 This very lucky accident, and a volley of small arms, from capt. ,M'Leans brave crew, threw the republicans into confufion and they bore away to pick up their man, which brought the Polly to windward, and a head; the (heels of the privateer flying her topsail being (hot* away, it took some time to pick up the man, and get the (licets fplieed which was no sooner done, than they made fail after the Polly, and was soon up with her; when nearly under her stern, the captain of the privateer brandiftied his sword, was diftindlly heard to fay in broken English, we have got hira, threatening instant death to the Polly's crew, if they did not strike. At this moment enpt. M'Leans boatswain, John Hill, a brave fellow, got the only gun that could be brought to bear upon the ene my, a stern chafer, which, was a load of caniftcr (hot, he fired that into, her decks. This gun molt probably saved the Polly, as several of the privateer's men were fecn to fall, and the blood running from the deck; the moment after the boatswain fired this gun, he-was unfortunately killed, a grape (hot went through his head.—Capt. M'Lean had a very narrow escape, a ball from the famegun that killed hisßoatfwain,grazed his check, and took offfor.e of the (kin. The marauders finding they were nearly in gtin (hot, feeing several boats with armed men beating out of the harbour, and Fort Bal caras tiring at them, after.very politely wifliing capt. M'Lean a " Good Night," bore away, with the the tri-coloured flag flying, and got off. The cook of the ? ollv, a free negro, late of the (hip York, Lainbridge, was dangerously w.ounded in the a&ion, a ball having paffci through his arm and kreaft. Capt. M'Lean yot fafe in at 6 o'clock in the evening, to the great joy of a number of fpe&ators, whose moments of anxiety 1 during the eor.teft, cannot be described. On Thursday morning, the remains of the boatswain, that so gallantly fell in the aftion, were very decently interred, attend ed by captain M'Lean and most of the sail ors in the harbour ; minute guns were fired on board the Polly.
