We hear by way of General jofeph Martin, lately from the Weftern Wa ters, that about the loth inllant John Sevier, late Governor of Franklin, with a party of his adherents, rode up to a (lore in that country, purchafed and drank rum till they were very much intoxicated. The merchant making the difeovery, very prudently told them they fliould have no more. Thisconduft exafperated Sevier; he immediately drew his piftol, and ad vanced towards the merchant, who by this time had prepared himfelf for the attack. An unfortunate by-ftandcr, who dreaded the confequences of the rencountre, ftepped in between them, and was ftiot through the body by Se vier. He, Sevier, rode off w'ith great precipitation, but was in a few hoursS purfued and overtaken by Col. Tipton, who confined and condu ited him to Bnrke gaol, in North-Caroiina, where he is now in irons. E M P t R O R of MOROCCO.

If there be a curfe in the a r above, may God fend it down upon them. Ifit be inthecaith, may God bring it forth, and keep it upon them.

Amen !—And inform you, that fuch as give them any thing, or make any prefents, are curfed as they are Our prophet has faid, that whoever forfakes the true belief, is curfed, and thruft out of God’s graces !—And who hates his father, God abandons !—And i have not turned from them until God iorfook them 1 “ Poft-Cfficc, Philadelphia, Dec. 5,178S.
