Dr. Priestley concludes, " When I compare the de

in which all men of learning will concur, with the
confident aflertions of Mr. Paine, who fay 3 the hooks
of scripture are but modern compofi'ions, I think
of a man, either really blind, or wilfully Ihutting

are too well known to require a newspaper eulogy,

. following laughable affair happened in this i
city a few days ago. Some wags to try how far j
on cret^u ''y °f citizen Greenleaf, the impartial and I
k patriotic printer of the Argus, Wl <uld carry him, |
fabricated a story of the capture of an American '
the name of Figfby, of the brig Fan Fan, of j
this port, by a New Providence privateers called
g , the Sea Nymph, who prefled two men, robbed him,
; &c. This story was dropped into the printer's let-
I ter box, and the sage Editor, tho' he mtift have
had reason to doubt the truth of it from the mode
" ; of communication, and mull have known that no
_ I (uch captain or vefTel, belongs to this port, infrrted
it in that spotless whig paper, the Argus, and the
wascopied into the Aurora, by citizen Bache.
where it (lands as the forty eighth evidence of British
tifh amity. See the Aurora of June 15.

for his authority, a d he made a feeble apology.
