This oil he returned into the worts [in their fermenting Hate, and the result exceed ed his mod sanguine expeditions—the liquor ac quired an infinitely more delicate flavor, and what is of equal importance, became beyond all coin parifon less susceptible of passing into the four state ; while, at the fame time, asone fourth less hops was requisite in boiling the worts, their nauseous bitter quality was imparted in apropor . tionably smaller degree. National Atfembly, December 27 Fifty eccleliaftical members took the Civic Oath agreeable to a form prepared : On this occasion the Abbe Gregoire pronounced adifcourfe to the Aflembly, which was ordered to be printed. Dicevtber 28 29 An address from a society at Clermont Ferrard, informed the Ailembly, that the reports of a coun ter-revolution, tho so often vague and unfound ed, are real in regard to the commotions in Au vergne where plotsagainft the government are actually forming : This address prelfesthe a (Tern bly to erecT; a High Court of Treason. It was or dered to be published. In the town of Paniiers, another bloody tu mult has happened —in which many lives were loft. The Aflembly decreed that every discovery of a new invention, in any kind of industry, is the property of its author. No new President is yet declared : M. de Mi rabeau wanted but four votes in the last scrutiny to get in the chair. Jan. 4. The usual compliments on the renew al of the year were paid on Saturday last, by the President, at the head of a deputation, to the King, Queen and the Dauphin. These addrefles anticipate the moment as fact approaching, which in terminating the labors of the Aflembly, will invariably fix the public wel ware : It recognizes the harmony and concord which exist between the King and the Aflembly— ■which they fay rauft destroy the frivolous hopes ofthofe who are equally the enemies of the King and the Aflembly. The answer of the King exprefles his sense of the attachment of the Aflembly to his person—- and recurs to that confidence which now subsists between him and them, as that, which aloite will perfect and consolidate the great wort—the con flitution of the kingdom. BOSTO N, March 12 Extra ft of a letter from Marietta f dated Nov. 25, " Between Fort Pitt and this place, we were hailed by people on an island, in the utmost dis tress: They had funk their boat, and were obli ged to swim to the island—men, women and chil dren. They informed us that two of their chil dren, a girl of iJ, and a boy of 5 years old, not being able to reach the ihore, were gone down the current on part of the wreck ; I immediately got into a Ikiff we happened to have with us, and two good men with me, and overtook the wreck in three quarters of an hour, 8 miles from the island, and fotind the girl with her little brother fitting ofi a few boards which fell together in the ■wreck.—There were in all about 20 people on the ifland—(Their boat funk about day-light of a cold morning)—they were wet, and chilled al 310ft to death—they had been there almost: an hour, and some of their children were almost gone. The diftrefled mother would take nonou rifliinent until they came down to us, and we were able to make them hear from the wreck, that all was well. They came on with us to this place, and;-, continued in our boat to the Miami, •where they were bound—The parents of the two children were from New-Jersey, by the name of Ludlow—they loft almost all they had, cloathing money, cattle and horses." BALTIMORE, March 18 " Ycfterday, being the Anniversary of the im mortal St. PATRICK, the tutelar St. of Hibernia, the day was celebrated here in ail unusual style of taste and splendour. Agreeably to a recent communication, the Saint made his personal ap pearance, and honored his sons with his presence in a procellion through the town. He was dres sed in his primitive robes, and read, as he palled along, the Holy Scriptures, with great apparent devotion ; an example, it is hoped, his children will follow in their pallage through life. After the procellion was over, and the company had pai taken of a repast, suitable to the day and occali on, (at Mr. Brett's on Fell's-Point) the venera ble Saint gave them the most interesting advice for the regulation of their future conduct in the pilgrimage of life, which appeared to have a ve ry happy effecft—when, giving them his inoft af fectionate and fervent Benediction, he disap peared. A gentleman's family, on a plantation in Ann- Arundel county, have furnifhed the following remarkable instance of industry ? From the ift of April, 1791, totheiftof March, 1791, there were manufactured in this family, J2f> yards of flieeting, 292 of other linen, 767 of FRANCE, brown rolls, 5:0 of bagging, 30 of Cotton, 18 of Jeanet, 136 of Lin fey, 110 of ICerfey, in the whole 1529 yards ; 6r pair of fine, and 87 pair of stockings—besides a number of leading-lines, bed-cords, clothes-lines, and otherarticles for the use of the plantation.—Though there are on this plantation only 3 white Women, some small chil dren, and about 12 working Negroes, they have made and raised for sale, in addition to the arti cles above mentioned, 20 hogsheads of Tobacco, and 1000 buihelsof Wheat, yearly. LITERATURE. M. L'Abbe Vella, a very learned profeflor of the Oriental Languages, in Sicily, has announced that he saw at Girgentia, a volume of cotton pa per, written in the Wetlern Moorish character, that contains a translation into Arabic of seven teen books of that part of Livy's History which is wanting. It goes from the 6otli to the 77th. This lail is not complete, and there are foine chasms in the others, occasioned by being in some places worm eaten. The 60th begins at the epoch when the Consul Aurelius fubduced the rebels of Sardinia, after a very considerable {laughter ; and went afterwards into Corlica to punilli who had bidden defiance to him. The 61ft book opens with the foundation of Aix, in Provence, by the Pro-Consul L. Sextius, ft otn whom that city took the name of Aquse Sextise The Abbe has already translated some of this valuable work, and promises to present the Re public of Letters with an edition in the Arabian language on one fide, and the Latin or Italian on the other.

Sent to Miss, NOW o'er the world hath sober Evening fpreacl Her ebon-tin&ured veil—the stars appear— smiling Moon in mildest beauty clear, As on my hand I press mypenfive head. While not on earth is heard one echoing tread, Look thro' the Southern uprais'd window near. Down on my cheek tear courses after tear— I think onabfent friends, on pleasures fled. Now all their a&ions living in my fight Awake new, mournful, pleasures in my foul, And each memento gives a frefh delight. Do not such joys my fair one's mind controul ?

Elegiac Lines on the death of Mr. Moses Brown, jun. DAPHNIS the young, the lov'd, is dead, — And hence this universal gloom ! To-day the fable Hearse was led, Inflow Proceflion, to the tomb. That bosom senseless lies, and cold Where Science ever lov'd to dwell, Speechless that Tongue—which never told Whatfpotlefs Virtue dar'd not tell. That face which every fight could plcale, That form in Symmetry so just, Where dignity, combin'd with ease, Are mouldering to their primal dust. Departed Youth ! oft to thy grave Shall science from her feat repair, And there with tears the green turt lave, Her bosom to the rude Winds bare.

How much preferable to a (late of inquietude, uncertainty and insecurity, it is, to be favored with a government, that not only inspires confi dence in its wisdom, by its judicious admini llration, but produces the moll solid benefits to the people :—Benefits—that like the kindly in fluences of benignant Ikies, aflail our senses, and demand our gratitude from every quarter.—— What art, pursuit, or profeflion, with which the good of society is connec'ted, that, under the au spices of the general government, has not imme diately or remotely been encouraged :—Agri culture, the moll noble of all arts, in a particu lar manner, is emerging into consequence, and afluming itsjuft rank in the eflimation of the peo ple :—This will lay the foundation of Empire, freedom and independence, broad deep.
