Dec 1 1 Tnc Damih forces have totally abandoned StvcJcn. But mc diiference has occurred between piiuce 01 Helle and the king of Sweden, from the fornur's having infilled that the luin cf 100,000 dollars fhouidte paid the king of Denmark, as a contribution, in the fpace of four months. As a Jccurity for the payment of this fine, the prince took with luin from Udcvjlla, three of the principal merchants as nolles.

But it is much doubted, whether the money will ever be paid. Tias contribution, as well as fome others which the prince cf Helio endeavoured to cxaft on the Swedifli icrrit.vjcs, had nearly rekindled the flames of war. The king ot Sweden oppofed this conduct in the warmdt manner, and fent an officer to the Daniih camp, with the following formal declaration That if the prince of HelTe ncrfifled in his defign to levy contributions' his Hates he mould immediately uillblvc the armifticc agreed on nor fliould he abandon his fuhjech to loch oppreflions without affording them his afliltancc." To this declaration, the prince of Hefle replied That he fliould refer thole differences to be fettled by the mediating powers." Tne king of Sweden acquiefced to this proportion, and thus the matter is terminated for the prcfent. As two gentlemen the other day were fettling an account ac a coifec houfe, one of them drew out of his pocket book great number of bank notes, which induced a gentleman, who fat in the next box, to exclaim, that he wifiicd to have as many as he could carry of them Then, Sir," replied the other, how many and to what amount do you think you could carry, for all mine arc in ten pound notes Why, Sir," laid the other in reply, I do not mind that, but I think I could carry more than the bank Of England could fupply mc with for I think I could carry in ten pound bank notes as much as the national debt amounts to Upon which the other gentleman offered to lay him a wa'erof five guineas, that he and ninety nine more of the ftrongelt men that he could felecl, could not carry the weight of the amount of the national debt in ten pound notes, for the dillance of one mile without pitching; the wager was immediately accepted, and a calculation took place when it was found that 512 bank notes weighed exactly one pound weight) and two hundred and forty two millions, which is com hiitA.l 1 tJk ri.nnl vat tlt IV a raa fand two hundred and fixty five pounds; which when divided among a hundred people, the weight that every one would have to carry, would be four hundred and feventy two pounds fix ounces per man. The gentleman, who had accepted the wager, was ftruck with aftonifliment, and immediately pajd the money without having any recourfc to a trial.

SALEM, February 3. However extraordinary may be its appearance, we have it from indifputable veracity, that a lad beine on the ice in North River a day or two ago for diverfton, unluckily fell through but that a man, farther down, then engaged in eeling, knowing nothing of the fate of the lad, almoft miracaloufly ftruck his fpear into his cloathing, and moll happily, and unhurt, fiflicd him into the world from his watry habitation.

The bill was in confe quence' thereof loft. The next day (Wcdncfday) Mr.

B. Livingflon moved for a rcfojutioo in the aiTembly, to choofc the electors by concurrent refoludon. Mr. Adgate, as an amendment, again propofed die joint ballot, which was agreed to by the ulual majority. The refoludon, as amended, was then fent to the fenate, where it was immediately rejected, and a new propouuon fent to the aiTembly That the fenate fliould choofc four perfoni as electors, and the aflembly.

four other pcrfons, as electors which eight pcrfons fhould be the electors." The aflembly rejected this propofuion. Mr. Watts then moved for a refoludon, that a committee, confining of five members from each houfe, be appointed to agree upon eight proper perfons as electors, and which eight pcrlons, if approved of by the two hpufes, were to be the electors. propofiuon was alfo negatived; and thus the bufinefs rclpecting electors has ended. 7 The fame day the aflembly took up the fubject of amendments to the new conltitudon, and went into si committee of the whole on the draught of an application to congrefs to call a new convendon on this bufinefs much debate enfued, and after a confiderablc time fpent thereon, was left unfinilhcd.
