Extract of a Letter from Naples Dec 20
" A very extraordinary circumitance happen

between Capo d. Monte and Minao, a few miles
Pittance from this capital, had been infected by
a robber who had always found means to elude
all pursuit. A merchant who had been well ac
quainted with him, having bufinefg at Miano, set
" P l ? ee l earl y in morning, taking
with him m his cliaife his Corfican dog, which

Hopped by the robber. The merchant at firft re
to'ne'rf* ° ld acc 9 uain tance, hoped
to persuade him to be fatisfied with a present
but he answered that heknew nobody, and that
if the merchant wi/hed to save his life, he must
give every thing valuable he Ld about him
ie merchant pretending to comply, waked his
fe°t S him on wa * fl «l»ing between his feet, and
the intrepid animal seized him by
Leans t o b S eW h °" the g r °«nd, and found
ninl JJ ? attempts he made with his

peed, and (lopped at the firft inn. Shortly after
his dog scratched and barked at the door, and
'J! adm'flion leaped about his master with the
gieatcft sig ns Q 1 joy, although the blood was
ftrcainiiig ti 0111 the leveral wounds he had recei

found dead on the road."

the national debts. If they do any thing, they
rauft do every thing that we can desire. lam per
iuaded Congress are not so ignorant of the cir
cumlrances of the United States as to imagine a
partial fyltem of finance is practicable. Unless the
State debts are afliimed, no funding system will
operate prosperously ; and without a prosperous
lunding iylteni our national government will be
but a shadow. In short I dare not predid; the
consequences of having the public debts long ne e .

" The creditors ofthe United States, and of the
several States, have not yet loft their patience, or
their confidence. I hope they never will lofe'ei

relief within a few weeks, they will unite in some
measures to express their fentimenrs to Cono-refs
in very unequivocal, but refpetftful language.

public creditors to meet at New York or Phila

Congress that would facilitate their determina
