A mnft atrocious murder was com mitted on board the ship Wasp, of Brrftol, Robert Jones, matter, on or about the 20th January last—laid (hip arrived in Montego-Bay, Ja maica, ontheeveningof thatday.— The person murdered was Thomas Hedges, the surgeon of the/hip. Jt appears from the depositions taken, that she failed from Bristol to Africa for il*ves, and arrived after wards at Jamaica with a cargo of 200. That designs against the sur geon's life .were entertained from the beginning—and after a series of ill nfage, be was dispatched the day previous to the arrival of the ship, with circumstances of savage bar barity. The villainy appears to have been perpetrated by a number of the peo ple belonging to the ship, with the connivance of the Captain. The fliip lay in Montego-Bay 34 days, and has ftnce failed Cor Bristol—the morder wasnot di(covered till after /he had failed. Meafares have been taken by the authority at Jamaica to bring the perpetrators to justice. The fl»ip is i'4t tons ineafttrement, painted black* figure head, copper bottom, Guinea-man's round-house, and had some caronades mounted, and it is supposed will not go to Brillol, though cleared for that place.—Robert Jones, the Captain, is a young man, about J feet 4 or j inches high, and only 20 years of age.—Joseph Nees, the fleward, light tawny complexion, about 5 feet 9 inches high.—Thomas Beddo, the boy, is a thin lad, his hair sup posed to be light, tho' he always wore a handkerchief over it, 5 feet ; inches in heightb, pock-fretten.— Jack, a yellow negro, of a very (lout make, and spoke a good deal of Eng lish. The above described persons are represented as the atftive and pafTive initmmentsin the aforefaid murder. One of the Paris Gazettes (Patii ote b'ranctis) among other remarks on a certain American publication, makes the following ; " There is now translated into French a book entitled the Federalifl, or a collection of pieces in of the constitution, propoftd for the United States of America, by the Convention of 1787, publiflied in New-York, by Meffieors Hamilton, Madifan and Jay, citizens of the United States. The bookseller, Ba ijfon, has done France great service, especially in her present circum stances, in publilhing this work which is clearly the best the world has hitherto seen on the fubjecft of confederate government. It mult be confeffed, however, that in foine places, there are passages, taken in certain views, wherein we may re mark an ariftocratical tendency ; but in general the political maxims are excellent." Extrafi of a letter from Columbia, IVijlern Territory, to a gentleman in this city. " As young as this place is, there is a remarkable third and tafte.for learning in it. We have already an Academy here, nnder tlic joint care of two men of abilities, in which the English, Latin, and Greek languages, the Mathematics, and various branches of the Arts and Sciences are taught. Perhaps yon will think it incredible, when I af faire you that in this academy, at the aforefaid different branches of learning, there are already sixty scholars.
