In the eflay signed " An American," 111 yeflerday's Gazette, 4th paragraph, com mencing at the 9th line, for " It is as im possible for those men, who dillike whole some laws and good government, to be wife administrators, as it is tor a man, who c.r on th- coutrsiry havt ; not wherever he has resided be coj'je .rtllWs ana d'lpofed to inlurredlion i • A-!-! have aiot his " difintertfted services* -.been etiijilayed, in exerting luch a difpoliti ■on ?

I would not he understood to intend any thing unfriendly to the Institution above alluded to, or difrefpeclful of its Trustees, but think that great caution is neceflary in guarding again ft the hitroduftiun of sedi tious teachers, however benevolent and dif imerrlt«d, into public femiuuries. The mifchiel's arising from infufiwg corrupt and impious principles into the minds of youth, are incalculable. Natural History. The Tench is a fifh of most despised and detested propensities. There is something in its phvfiognomy, and even in the mike of its body, at which you shall f.iy, Beware ! there lurks treachery -and villainy ! It is remarked by natura lists to be fond of floundering in muddy and turbed waters, whither it resorts to seek the company of the afiaflin Sword Fifli, who, having thrust his ftilletto in to some bewildered Whale, out sallies the Tench to prey upon his ancient and unhappy friend. It is a proverb now, " At a table where there is a Tench, no honest man eats.'' k Maffacbufetts Election. . In the Fourth Western Diftrift there has been no choice of federal Represen tative. Judge Lincoln only wanted ten more vqfes to give him a majority over all the other condidates. Died, on the 27th ultimo, at Ports mouth, in Virginia, in the 48th year of her age, Mrs. SARAH WILSON, formerly of this city. 2 near Fciuth flreu, to daunted bravery, they exchanged a £hot, novembcr 3 By which the unfortunate Lieut. C. in ftanlaneoufly fell to the ground. A was called to examine the wound, who on searching the body, found not the lead trace of a ball——but he still languiilies, and the surgeon de clares that there are no hopes of his re covery ; but that a few hours will close his eyes in eternal darkness. —Thus fell ail unfortunate gentleman about 21 years of age in defence of his unblemilh ed character. He was much beloved and respected, and his death is univer filly lamented^ From the Alexandria Mirror of the /\th oj" November. It isnot in my power this day,, to gra tify my readers with a statement of the votes, for electors of President and Vice- President, taken yesterday at the County Court House ; but have been informed by several refpedtable gentlemen who attended, that from appearances Mr. Adams's friends must have a considerable majority.
