Extract of a Letter from a gmtleman lately arrived at St, l.ouis from Vir ginia, to his friend in Richmond. ?' Dlar Sih ? You wished me to describe the situation, advantages, and state of society of the western metropolis, ltd advantages from itsj local situation arc very great ; but of these 1 shall speak more fully in de tail hereafter. 1 shall^ at . this time give you a history of a week in St. Louis, from which you can form; some idea of * (lie state of society. ? ! Ou Wednesday the 10th inst. I ay-i rived in town. Not lone; after my arrival, a battle occurred between two brethren of the tyj>e, (he prin ters of the ^twto papers in (his town, the Enquirer and Gazette. The lat ter had published some things that' raised the ire of (he former, and lie determined to attack him ? t w o young n ?ii, one aged about ?3, the other about ?0, attacked un uid man of. about 50. and very corpulent. Neil iher party gpt much hurt. It is s.iid the old man used the shilalah tol great advantage, and they formed a singular figure after both got down, roiling down the hi!!. Tlje.only in jury sustained by either parly, was by the assailant, whose shoulder was unjoiuteci. Several wordy skir mishes occurred during the remain der of this week, but no actual hos tilities commenced until Sunday.? Ou Sunday evening a . gentleman, oq returning home, found his qupr tejps occupied by n ttfteud, who exten ded his friendly visits to rather too great a length. Tlie door bei^g locked, it was broken open by t|Je uwnei^th* visitor jumped out of the window j a bailie eusued; the man Has stuck with * kuife; the woman was beaten. 0n Monday morning another hattje occurred % in Main street, J)rt\vepn two yoyng men.? No deadly weapon betug. used, deadiy * oupd * as {fiven? both were pretty well bruised, and receive*} immortal honour, 0o Monday eve ning a battle royal eusued; It hap* pened at the Theatre* and originated in politics ; although that was not the immediate tfrigin, (he causes and cir~ criOistances it is useless to mention. Ths result was, that one of the com*, batant* received several stabs in his Wck? the pihef had a black eye?~* iDue of the spectators who interfered, received a slab in fa's hand, another ?'jlww arm, and a tftirfl w as knocked down with , a porter- bottle^ Thus ended the celebrated battle of Mon day evening, leaving; five wooded, but Houe killed or pMgoners. Or\ Tuesday, two' gentlemen engaged in the river trade, vulgarly called boat men, fought oil % subject of poli* tics, which resulted in one of the combatants having ,his leg broken* and the other having his nose bit off On Wednesday one pf the co^b** tants of Monday evening attacked ' one of the bounded, , and gave him several blows ; but the other being grounded in the arm, di<| not return them. Ta finish the events of this veek, a lady of cplptir flogged her husband, a white man, which so*n Tiged him that he fixed Ids gun and shot himself. 1 have thus given you Ibe history of this week, and leave yW jjwlge of the state! of aocfejy In tills place. I presume every week is not so eventfiil, but after I bar* her? longer I ?nay give yon a more correct general idea, Till ? then adue. f< Yputs,^ - fiiterary JSfotice*.? W e under stand thai the first volume of an English translation of Carlo Botta's Italian fijstory of the American Ifc. volution, will be issued, (this or next jeek, from tfee Philadelphia press. The translator is fieorge Alexander Otis, Kso. uf Boston, whose yer* sion of M. de Pjadt's ? Europe af, ler the Coq^ress of Aix-la-Cha petle, %is, w# believe, exteusiveyl pnown. He is employed upon the other volumes of $fr. Botta's >vork, and will publish them as tliey are successively completed. This foreign history wil) no doubt excite curiosity, and prove a useful acces sion to our literature, by fameliar izing up with our own annals. Tin autho^ spw our revolution in the tru* point of view; be ha# traced the 'causes and course of it in the clear jest manner, and digested the inci dents into an otderlv, compact, vi j^oious narrative. It is lamentable, (almost shameful, thnt we have not jft History of American composition, jsuch as to render altogether superflu ous any foreign work of this nature. 'None written abroad for us can ever ^ven approach to the proper charac ter. Our story will never be ade quately told except by one of our selves ; by an American of com pre hensive studies, indefatigable indus try, patriotic enthusiasm, and high literary ambition; v\ho shall consid er the task as the business i f his life. But we should be gl?d to possess a Hn pin, while we are wanting jn a Hume. National Gazette. Ba ron I.escallies, -who resided! some time ago at New-York, as Krench Consul General, has issued proposals, in Paris, to ptb isn by subscription, five volumes ot hi. Tra vels, one of which is allotted to the United Spates, and is to treat of all our coucerus.^-24. A desolating Fire has laid one third of the city of Troy, in State of New-Yoik, in ruins. The loss is estimated at a million ?f Dollars, ?t happened oij the 20th i^t. ?-4JT ? ? To th,c Editors of the Franklin Gazette T|\e following laughable scene, of which \ was a witness, took pUce a Ctw tf.yi &gor at pne our principal hotels Should you think it worth publishing, it is at ?joiir s^rviccj, and will no doubt amuse i some of yqur numerous readi:;. ? ? ' MOMUS/ A large green iurtle was killed last week {it one of the hotels in this city. The uncommon* size and the manner of dispatching this hon #i or Cfau le$ gpurman?, attracted some of the boarders of the bouse. Mpty-' go, after commending a good while thfc ; beauty and fatness of his h*r^ pessed victim, with a grinning face^ comynepced his operations by draw*, his the gap ing knife across the throat j of tto S4i8fH?nded animal. But, lo!i at the Sxipient the fatal weapou en tered, the turtle, in ? |i most piteous' tone, cried, ant, M O JllurigoJ Mun ?? % Mtingo / why foil thou kill, tifie l EE? days/" l*he amazement of all aroqiit!,1 ^<1 particularly pf Mungo, may lie more e^silyifoagfoed than described. W ***** W*g ttie e fleet, that the knife dropped, fM>d Mungo ran, swearipg it waM devil apd no fjurtle, and that he would rather ch^nge jutp a tort la |han he would- kill Mm.
