Hie painful talk has devolved on us, to announce an event, which though expeCted for fomc time pail, will not be read without the mart painful regret.—Ytfterday died, in the 53d year of his age, to the unspeakable grief of an affectionate fam-ily, and of a fyinpathizing community, His Excellency INCREASE SUMNER, Esq. Governor of this Commonwealth. "1 he disease under which he labored, was uncommonly painful ; but his patience and resignation were equally remarkable, and his exit peaceful and easy. A lively remembrance of his public virtues will be eherifhed in the breasts of a grateful people ; and the friends of their country ■will mingle their tears with those ®f his dis consolate relatives.

Andrew Cazneau, cf the ship Britannia, of Boston, to his friend in this town, giv«s the following (.ccount; which though the event was not entirely for ttJnate, may serve as another specimen of, American spirit : " On the 15th April, at 3 p. M» I fell in with a' French privateer of 10 guns, and 9$ men, and engaged her for three quarters of an hour, but he having so much the advan* tage of failing, run up along fide, and boarded us with 50 men, and obliged me to submit : They had killed two, and wound ed three of our crew, and we killed seven of them. Myfelf and all hands were taken 011 board the privateer, and at 8 p. m. thf fame day, were taken by the Surprize, capt Haniilton, apd at one a. m. the Surprizi retook the Britannia, and sent her into thi port (Jamaica.)"

JC7* Citizens,. contemplate this fubjeft. The BRIGHT and DARKfiiejlatei. The following passage from the new play of '• Lovers' Vows" deserves to be pre sented to our readers. At the request of Baron von Wildenbaim, the Pastor waits upon Amelia, to speak of Matrimony in gen»ral. She desires him to begin with the disagreeable fide, that " the best might be preserved to the lad." Pastor WITH difagrecable? Oh, madam, when two affeftionate congenial heartsunite, the marriage (late has then no disagreeable fide. Hand in hand the happy pair journey through life. Where they find their path occasionally strewed clear their way. If a flream cross their steps, the strongest bears the weakest over; or if a rock is to bedi med, the stronger takes the weaker by the hand—patience and love are their compani ons. What would be impra&icable to one, to their united efforts proves but sport—and when they b-ve the fnmmit, the weather wipes the sweat from the.brows of her more vigorous partner. Their joys, their pains, are never divided guests, nor will one ever experience a pang of sorrow while transport warms the bosom of the other. A smile illuminates the countenance of both; or tears distil from both their eyes. But their raptures are more lively and ex'atvc than finale tinpartii ipa'ed joy ; their sorrows less corroding than solitary woes ; for participa tion enhances the one, and alleviates the o ther. Thus their who'e life resembles a beautiful fumraer's day; beautiful, even tho' a trantirnt shower may intervene; for fhow ere refrefh the face of nature, and the fun bursts from the cloud with renovated lustre. And when the evening of their dr.y draws on, it finds them surrounded with flowers, which ihey therrfclvcs planted and rear- Ed patiently awaiting the approach of night. —Then, then, indeed ; for night, wiil come —the one takes the lead and firlt liea down to sleep. and happy that one to whose lot it falls; the furvivwr wanders in melancholy so litude weeping at not being allowed to floep also. And this is the only disagreeable fea ture of such a marriage. Amelia—Oh I will marry ! Pastor—Right madam, this pidture is | alluring : but rocolledt that 'tis a picture for which two loving and congenial hearts fat as the models. But if motives of mere conve nience (what the world generally terms pru dence) if parental authority, rashness cr ca price, tie the bonds of hymen, then alas I the state of matrimony has no agreeable fide. No longer free and unfhack led, man nor wo man walk with light and airy steps, but vic tims of a late repentance drag along their galling chains. Satiety is depiited on each brow. Images of loft hsppinefs, painted in strong colors by imagination's delusive hand, and more tempting in proportion as they are unattainable. Sanguine and romantic hopes, which haply might never have been realized if this marriage had not taken place, but the practicability of which the mind holds cer tain, if the parties were not fettered by wed lock. Theie ideas inceflantly harrafs the foul, and condemn them to afhtal fufll-ring, where ctherwife patience wbuld only have beeft called Into exertion. Gradually they accuflom themselves to contemplate their irksome companion as »he hateful cause of all the evils which befal them. Gall infu fes itfelf into their conversation, coldness into their carefles. To none are they more captious, from none more apt to take offence, than from their wedded partner ; and what would*yield them delight in a is viewed with apathy in the person of their nearest connection. In this manner, with averted face and down cast eyes the haplef* pair dragon through life, till at length one lies down to sleep :■—thenexultingly the sur vivor lifts the head, and triumphantly ex claims Liberty ! Liberty !"—And this forms the only pleasing feature of such a marriage. Amelia—l will not marry ! NEW-YORK, June n.

We did not expeft i'uch an event irom the heavy Dutchmen.

HOW differently the real patriots of the United States, and the American Jaco bins, are affe£ted by the disasters of France. If the French are compelled to retreat after a battle, the Jacobins declare that they gained the battle, notwithstanding the circumstance of the retieat, which will appear in the fe qutl, to have bcrn a pre-concerted.manoeuvre to encircle the Archduke, or some Austrian General, aivcl make'the capture of Vienna more certain, and that no credit whatever is due to any accounts fc!e<fted from either Englifli or German news-papers. Why this extraordinary earnestness, and anxiety for French successes ? Is it becaafe they fee, or thirfk they fee, in tleir fuccefies, the downfall of the America govern ment ? Such dreadful hopts, nourished by the party in Holland, in Geneva, in Switzerland, and those other countries, which France has direftly, or indire&ly, fubjefted to her power. These lessons, so far from weakening the confidence of the Jacobins in French fraternity, seem to in vigorate and flrengthen it. They are wil ling, provided they can \eign here, to fuf fer the French direttory to be Vice-roys over The real Patriots >f the United States on the other hand, do not endeavor to diminish the disasters of tie'enemies of France, by comments or denials of well au thenticated fads, nor conceal the pleasure they feel, at any increase. in tie number of her enemies ; at the fame time as lovers of them. their country, they cantiot buttejoice at eve ry event, which weakens tbt power of the Directory, and diminishes tbtir resources to extend their dominion, by bringing under their fubje&ion all parts of the civilized world. It is certain that a proportion was made in the Dire&ory by Cdrnot to give to the Duke of Parma, a portion of tfie Papal ter ritory, and Modenefe, in exchange for Louis iana and Florida, which Cirnot laid, the King of Spain would hive ceded to France 1 , with the design of procuring to the Infant, a more considerable ellablifhment. The de- clared object of Carnot in this exchange, was "to REPUBLICANIZE A VAST, AND BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY IN AMERICA, WHICH WOULD NECESSABILT «IVB TO France, an immense influence over the United States." This Carnot, it ought to beknown, was thought to be the Dire&or, vho was molt inclined to favour the United St.'tes. The Dire£tory, it appears, rejefted Carnot's pro position upon two grounds, iff. They did not wifhto create a nzw kingdom in Europe, and 2dly, Better informed thanCarnot, they knew that they could obtain the Florida's and Louisiana on much easier terns from Spain, and at a more convenient'time "or their pur- poses.
