IsUi}ferae?!, Per.;btev<e. The attack
began, that of the left met with rs
ance, a^ wis retarded afoorl time,
the con^rn! rain, which continued all
the night hindered the army from
marching, and the ponder being too
wet, we could not u se it. We there
fore took out bayonets! and at half pefl
/% j Vfflorv was declared, the fort
ceased from firing, and is in the bands,
of the Republicans. The Emigrants
ran againfl one another in the greatest
confujion, to the extremity of the Penin,
fula, where the Englife boats received
them under the protection of the fee of
& frigate. 1 ought to observe that the
wind was very favorable in the night,
it blew N. N. W, which prevented the
enemy's /hips from diffurbing the fort,
they have not be, able to fire once. It
appears as if the Republican mind bad
concerted with the Supreme Being.
Our loss is ver, small not more than
10 or 15 killed. Our wounded ate
300, among them is the brave Botba.
I have been to the fort, where I have
Jeen a large number of women, children
\ and French deserters. They are jo nu
)' mucous that it is impoflibie to enumerate
them. I ought also to add, that the de
serters have very much favored our late
juccefs, 2 of them guarded the columns ;
others cried to our Frenchmen, " We
have laid down out arm\" and fur.
rendered tbimfelves with that forward
: nefs which proves the jatisfaHion they
felt at the approach of Liberty. The
EngliJh admiral was obliged to remain
a tranquil fpoflator of the viaory of
the Republican army. I ought to ren
der flattering juflice to the generofa,
-of the Republican Joldiers who have
spared all those who were unable tobear
arms, and have put them tender the
sword of the law. The Emigrants
were far from wanting in «2«iberen.
We have found magazines of all kinds,
extraordinarily well supplied with meal,
bread, wine, rum, brandy, aewwition,
mv/kets, pistols, powder, &c. common
clothes for the Emigrants, vegs, &c.
The good Englifomcu have come here
very politely to furni/b us!

COUNTY of HANCOCK.
On Tuefday the 15th Sept. inst. the Courts
of Common Pleas and General Sessions of
the Peace were opened in Penobfeot, in the
; Ceunty of Hancock The following is an
abftraa of the Charge to the Grand Jury,
delivered by the Hon. Chief Justice Ser
geant.
.Gentlemen of the Grata',ury,
YOU will excuse my addreding you at this
time. The situation of our country is such,
as calls loudly for your exertions, and those
of every good citizen. ,? (
Bare one moment with a Whig of '#s• 1
feeUs great a resentment now, as 1 then did,
to every thing which touches the principles
of those glorious patriots, whafe exertions
emancipated our country, and who ihedtheir
blood in the capfe of freedom. I was one
fiee from fears. ~ :"
There is.no one prefect who has not seen,
read, or heard of the ferment which has been
caused by & treaty b<rwixj this country and
Greatbritain, and which has now become the
faprenie law of the lend. Until this instru
ment was finned by cur Guardian dlngel, 1 was
royfelf among thale who entertained doubts
will relpea to the expedienceof its being
ratified.
But, gentlemenof the Jury, and you, my
much efteeined fdlow citizens, although we'
may have nothing to do with European poli
tics ; and in juttice to ourselves; perhaps,
mould not enter into a treaty with zny nation
whatevrthofyever dear td u% or It tohr obli
gations toihem be what they may ; yet, as it
has been the general praaice of nations, and
as ourown nation have adopted the practice,
it has become cur duty to acquiefoe in it and
iupport it.
My ideas of what would make this coun
try refpe&ab!e and happy, are contrary jn a
great measure from those of many others—
We are Separated from the great commercial
nations,and are not obliged to have any thiag
to do with navigation beyond # the bounds of
the Federal Status : Aad tohaveeafured our
own-happiness should never, 'perhaps, have
sent a vessel of any kind to foreign parts—
But having entered so deeply into trade, it if
now prudent to be at peace with ti the
world ; even mad we make greater con
defeentions than those said to have been
made to Greatbritain.

Gentlemen—as good citizens, as men
worthy of enjoying the blessings under
which we live, as Chr.ftia.ns and a $ friends
to GhOrge Washington, the firfl and
greatest man known on e^rfh —w% the guar
dians of the laws and rights of the people of
the County of Hancock, are called upon,
loudly called upon, to do all in our power to
conciliate the minds of our brethren, to dis
pose them to peace, to convince by argument
and reason, and by our own conduct, that*
the government and laws are to b^ supported,
and that, as a people, we are deserving of the
bfeffi^gs that he who ruhth in rightcoufnefs
has Conferred on us in a more distinguished
manner than upon any people of the present
day, or any which have been recorded in hif
tory.
Convinced of your disposition to support
order and good government, and of your at
tachment to your country, I cell fatisfied that
you will do all in your power to keep peace.
You will ever find me a fapporter of the laws
and an obedient fubjeft to them :—Trufting
that you will join with me, 1 rest cohfiden
that the county of Hancock will remain as it
ever has, at peace, and that we fell continue
to fee good and prosperous days.
e COURT at PENOBSCOT.
During the weeks in which the Courts of
Common Pleas and General Sessions of the
Peace, were holden at Penobfeot, the Judg
es, Justices, and officers of the Court, dined
frequently together. On these occasions the
loans were, The President —Mr^ ,ay The
Treat,, &c. which were received with general
approbation. -By information from vari
ous other parts of the county of Hancock,
and from Walhingtan as far east as Paffama
quody, we #re aflured, that the people, al
though they had been alarmed at the firft
outcry against the treaty, are now generally
disposed to think favorably of it ; and are
univerfaliy determined to fopport the consti
tuted terhoiities of our country.
Ar ,he Court of Common Pleas the previ
ous w&k at Waldoborough, in the county of
Lincoln, where a great number of the ioha
biran^ from parts toileted, the fame federal
feurinent^ prevailed, and the some resolution
to ftpport the Jaws.
We know also that these sentiments pre
dom hate in the weftern part of the diftria:
It may therefore be ftfely concluded, that
the politics of Maine are federal. There
never was a Shafts nor a Bradfordite in the
diftria. Os Jacobins, there has'not been
more than a fingieTore ; and these were
chiefly fuck through-error. The truth is,
the great body & the inhabitants of the dif
tri@ of Maine, are Hulhandmen ; and these,
to, Republican government, are the faews,
the hues, and the marrow. 1

A Bargain ! A Bargain ]
THE SUBSCRIBER HAS
A SMALL FARM,
LYING in Canterbury, which .•
he would fell at a low price, for Cath
in hand, if applied for immediately—or at,,
a reasonable price for half Cassi down, and
the other half in one or two years, with ie-'
curity on interest.
Said FARM contains Forty
Acres of Land, well watered—and lies art
the main road from Concord to Sandborn
tan, but seven miles from Concord Cemt
House—is well proportioned, as to mowing,
pasturing and tillage; yielded fix or seven
tons of hay this feafod ; bss apiece of low
ground cleared, ditched and sown with graft -
feed, which will very soon add confideiabiy
to the quantity of fray now cut ; h&sa very
thrifty young Orchard, of about one hun
dred trees, will make this year ten or twelve
barrels of cyder—has a comfortable house
with three rooms and two fire places— and
a barn goby 35 feet.
Said Place is about two miles'
from Canterbury fouth meeting house, and
ve<y pleasantly situated where four roads
meet, which would, render it very convenient
fora Tavern, Trader or Tradesman, and it
is particularly so for a tanner or blacksmith.
For further particulars apply
to the Subferiber, living in Epfcm, or to
Capt. Thomas Currie or Mr . Obadi
ah Mooney, who live near the premises.
