ed his aim, and then turned upon Eliza.pit, another fell backward into the cock beth Jackson, mother-in-law to Eleanors and brought her to the floor with a sin. gle blow on the head. It seems that he then took a razor, cut his own throat with it, and laid it on the mantle-piece Physicians were immediately called, and attempted to save the two last, but on examining the cut of Badgley, the blood started afresh and he soon expired. Elizabeth Jackson is still living. several pie ces of the skull having been extracted, and scarcely a hope of her recovery remains. The floor of the little room in which this dreadful work was executed Fan with blood, and the coroner's in quest could not enter it without drenching their shoes in it. The spectacle was shocking almost beyond description The following extraordinary succession of calamities took place last month on board the U. S. Frigate Constitution, Capt. Hull, in the short space of four days. While Capt Hull, was on shore at Sandy Hook, where the Frigate was.ly. ing at anchor, six names on paper were handed to the Commanding Officer for permission to go on shrse-he marked four names as permitted, saying that all could not go. It so happened that he marked those of Morgan and Rogers two midshipmen, between whom a duel took place that time as mentioned in the papers, and their two seconds -the result of the duel it is known was the death of Rogers, and Morgan wounded-the dead body was the same evening carried on board the Frigate, and the next day with the usual ceremonies buried on shore, while the procession of boats for this purpose were moving towards the shore, a man fell from the mast head of the frigate and was killed, in a quarter of an hour afterwards another fell from the same place and was so hurt that he pit and badly fractured his leg-the next day the Frigate sailed for the Delaware, and the day after while she was going up the bay at the rate of ten knots an hour, a midshipman fell overboard and was drowned, while the boats were lowering away to go to his relief, the stern boat with a pendant and three men in it. was capsised and they were all immedi ately plunged into the water, from which they were with difficulty rescued by the surrounding boats. LONDON Sept. 21. Paris papers to the 19th inst. arrived last night. The principal articles which they present are two reports from Massena to Bertheir, containing some further details respecting the fall of Almeida. From one of these it appears that 1300 of the Portuguese militia, which by the terms of the capitulation were to have returned to their homes, have by their own consent been taken into the French service! The ci-devant Portu. guese commander, the Marquis D'Alourna, was the agent employed by Massena to corrupt the Portuguese pri soners. We understand that 50,000 stand of arms are immediately to be sent to Spain: half to Gallicia, and the remain. der to Valencia and Catalonia.. One of the letters observes, that Frederick William, oppressed with the humiliating state of dependance to which he was reduced; had actually proposeđ: to Napoleon to resign his crown; to which measure, it is said, the French ruier was not prepared to accede. This forenoon arrived two Gottenburgh mails, the contents of which are rather important. The king of Sweden is no more. And there is some proba bility that the lately elected crown prince will soon assume the reins of govern ment, A treaty of alliance, offensive & defensive, between France and Austria,. is talked of, and a war with Russia is mentioned as its primary object. The French schr. Cartel Eliza, capt. Moream, has arrived at Falmouth from Morlaix, which port she left, on the 14th. instant. She landed at Fowey on the 17th Mr. Ridgeway, American consul at Antwerp, his family, and several passengers. Mr. Ridgeway was charged with dispatches from general Armstrong to Mr. Pinkney in London. General Arm. strong had left Paris, and was expected to embark for America on the 17th inst When the Eliza left Morlaix it was said that generals Junot, Macdonald and Belliard, had been recalled from Spain, having incurred Napoleon's displeasure. Arespectable American house yester. day received letters from Paris, stating in positive terms that Lucine Bonaparte had embarked on board the American ship Hercules at Leghorn, and it was presumed that the destination of the ves. sel was the United States. He is accompained by his wife and family, with a retinue, consisting in the whole of forty persons, and had obtained, it is added, passports from the emperor to facilitate his design. By a gentleman who has arrived from France, this iuformation is in great degree confirmed, and we lean that it had long been the intention of Lucien to quit the eastern hemisphere, where he could only be second to his bro. ther, whom he conceived to be subordi. nate, and to be indebted to him for the imperial diadem he wears. It is reported that Lucien had amassed an immense treasure, a considerable portion of which He has deposited on board the ship in which he takes his farewel of Europe. Retreat of Lord Wellington. It was generally expected that the fall of Almeida would prove a signal to Lord Wellington to retreat, however slowlyFrom private letters to the 9th inst, from Oporto, brought to Plymouth by a ship laden with Merino sheep, it appears that this speculation has been realized. Of these communications, the following, which is dated Oporto, the 8th ins, sheros the extent of the retreat, and the position? of the several armies: OPORTO, Sept. 8. "I write to you by the opportunity of a Portuguese schooner bound for Plymouth with Merino Sheep, belonging to General Stewart, to give you the latest information we are in possession of from the armieswhich you will be anxious to hear. I ant disappointed in receiving communications to day from head quarters, which I consider as a proof that the army continues to retreat towards Ponta de Marcella, where the first stand is to be made should Massena's army follow Lord Wellington We are uninformed where head quarters are removed to since they left Celerico; but this is of little consequence. The war will now be brought home to us, and our brave soldiers must prepare for blows ́: for should the enemy follow up the british an immediate action must be the result. If Miss P. promised to write to Mr. D. and broke through her stipulation, the case I admit is grievous, but not in the least uncommon—and for Mr. D's consolation I engage shortly to write an entire speculation upon Coqacttes and Coquetting. Upon a thorough examination of Miss Doretha's case, I find she is too much given to gigling and wispering in com. pany, I therefore sentence her to remain without a husband one year and one day and if the fault is not remedied at the expiration of that time, I may possibly extend her probation to two years MARRIED, On Saturday last, by the Rev.

Then pledg'd we the wine cup, and fondly I swore, From my home, and my weeping friends never to part, My little ones kiss'd me ten thousand times o'er, And my wife sob'd aloud in the fulness of heart, Stay, stay with us, rest, thou art weary and worn ;' And fain was the war-braken Soldier to stay But sorrow return'd with the dawning of morn, And the voice in my dreaming ear melt ed away THE SEQUEL TO THE 'American Volunteer's Farewell. FAREWELL! farewell, my soldier brave! Thy MARY's parting blessing take; Nor heed me, though I fondly rave, And sigh as though my heart would break, For trust me, love, I could not brook, To see thy cheeck turn pale with fear; To know that thou for me forsook The path, to honor ever clear. Yet, WILLIAM, yet, one moment stay I have a thousand things to say, Forgive my tears: oh! do not frown, Clasp your dear infant to your heart; Oh! hours of bliss, forever flown; Must we forever, ever part!
