In the course of the session, many important matters came before the afl'embly, which were referred for further confederation to the aflenibly to be holden in May next. Among others, were the report of a committee on the petiiion of the fufrerers in the feaport-tnwns, by the inroads and depredations of the British daring the late war ; stating their fiJStrings by loss of property to a. mount of nearly three hundred thousand pounds; and an offer of three hundred and fifry thousand dollars for n quit-claim of the territory claimed by this fVate, south of Lake Erie ; an atft regu lating the militia of this state; with others of less consequence. The bill for dividing tlifc state in (even diftridis, each to choose one member of Congress, was taken back after conliderable dis cussion. LONDON, Extrxft of a letter from Warfavi, dated Augi/ft 17. Transactions, exhibiting an inHance of niolt abominable fanaticifm, which happened lately in the city of Ilawa, about 12 leagues from this place. A reputable woman, widow of an apothecary, named Wilke, a protestant, and an old inhabi tant of that place, having Tome business to tranf a<fl at Warsaw, was prelented by a friend with a doll for the amusement of her children ; the old est of which was a girl of 8 years old. The children on receiving this doli, without any offenfive intention, decorated the fame by hanging a small effigy of the (so called) Mother Mary around its neck, which had been given them by a Monk. A fanatic and enemy to the family, who was a ftvbaltern in the grenadier regiment of Kalzinf ki, gave information of this innocent diversion and complaining thereof to the board of civil and military commiflioners, as being facreligious, who caused a criminal process to be ifliied against the poor widow, mother of the children, by which 4he was condemned, and sentenced to be beheaded. Providentially Mr. Krapinfki, a member ofthe Consistory of Diflenters at Warsaw, hearing of this unnatural proceeding, iiiimediately present ed a petition ia favor of this unhappy woman, to the King and Sovereigti Council ; in confe queneeof which, a Salvus was granted to the poor widow, and orders given to the judge to Hay the execution : Privilege was also granted her to appeal-to- the-mixed Aifefibrial Court, to determine refpetfing her unhappy situation. This court, although it preserved the life of the woii'an, nevertheless, pronounced the following inhuman sentence, viz. •' That the unhappy mother (hould be compelled to chastise her own children in the presence ofthe initia;a rorwith a rod, so long, and until the blood Ihould follow the rod !"—Of which piiniihment one of the children now lies dangeroiifiy ill. After the above sentence was executed, the doll was pub lickly burned on the 9 fh day of AuguO:, by the hand of the common executioner.
