' From the Mediterranean.
'Capt Allen, who arrived here yester
day, saw, at Malaga, the 13th Decem
ber,. a letter from Consul O'Brien at
Algiers ; which gave information that
fix Tripolitans were out on a cruise a
gainst die Americans, and two more
preparing to follow; that it was diffi
cult for our vessels to obtain convoy ;
and that consequently our commerce
„ was exposed to great hazard in the
Mediterranean, —lt is to be hoped that
the fehlibility of our Government may
at lad be excited in favor of our brave
leamen ; and that they will not con
tinue to be exposed, by such fhameful
negled, and ill-timed economy, to all the
horrors of the worst of slavery In
telligence is received, via Alexandria,
that a cessation of hoftilitfes has taken
place between the Swedes and Tripoli
tans for fix months, and th%t a perma
nent peace is expected to fellow ; leav
ing thus the Tripolitan force to be
more fully directed against the unpfo

PORTLAND, JAN. I,

We hear from. Windham, that laftTLurfday,
a Mr. Spalding, Trader in that town was found
hanging by a codline, dead.

FROM EUROPE.
By the arrival of several vessels at the South
ward, from Europe, late intelligence from that
quarter has been received. We have feleded
the following from the debates in the British
Imperial Parliament, on the fubjed of His Ma
jedy's Speech ; it is a bold out-line of that pic
tture, which France presents to every eye, not
blinded by prejudice; or obfeured by mental in
firmity.
Mr. Windhath said, “ there was no
thing but loose ambiguity in the speech
es which he had heard to the Address
from the throne. . It was,certainly true
[that any mar. might vote for the latter ;
but at a moment when the crisis of our
late was approaching; when the at
tention of Europe was directed to our
councils ; when the dorm was ready
to burftover our heads, was language
of this description tfo be held forth as
charaderiftic of the national spirit ?—
b Ryery day tells us of some new uftirpa
tion on the part of France. Piedmont,
Tuscany and Parma, are swallowed up,
one after the other. .What was the
. plain inference from all this, but that
our own ruin was approaching, and
that we touched upon the moment of
our dissolution ? If any man alked him,
• “ Why he thought so ?," His atifwer
should be, " Why do you think other
wise ?" Let any titan be called from
' his grave; who died but fourteen years
since, and let him enquire qs to the
powers which then exiled—Where is
Holland ? gone.—Spain? fuhdued.—
Portugal ? the fame.'-^ltaly ? in thral
dom.—Germany ? torn to pieces.—Pi
edmont ? gone.—Switzerland ? in tet
ters.—And yet, under all these circiim
ftances, we pause and befitate refpeA
ing our rule.,of action. . ,The. French
revolution, Mr. Windham said, is a de
, Touring peflilence, which, the more it
has dtettroyed, the more it is capable of
. destroying.—lt was .said, the aggran,
difement was not to be dreaded, as fid
had manifehed no hostile intention ;|
he was warranted, .0Q the contrary, in |
faying, from the information of intelli
gent men, who had visited France since
the peace, that the mind of that coun
try was hostile to us ;,that they difre-.
girded, comparatively, ,the territorial
acquisitions, and their sole vengeance
was directed against England, which
they regarded as the cause and source
of all their fufferirigs. <They were in
1 consequence aiming a mortal blow at
CTr commerce, which they properly re
girded as the foundation of our credit
gad capital. They had within the last
Have months, launched no lel3 than
thirteen (hips of war, of which feverr
tare of the line. They had imported
m that time, and in British and Ameri
cza flips, 16,000 tons of hemp from
the Baltic, which was equal to one
yezrfs consumption of the British navy
; qW the pme 6f war. . The expedition to
St. Domingo was the greatest that had
ever been equipped in the fame space of
time They appeared, in fad, to en
-4 joy fell credit at the time when we
were jesting at their poverty. "there
was nothing in the conduct of France
which did net favor of enmity, and yet
these who warned this country of her
deigns, were treated as fire-brands,
and disturbers of the peace of the great
weftern nation. He trysted Ministers
would not part wittiany thing which was
agreed to be furrendeted, but which tht©'
accident or precaution remained in their
hands. If these were given up, in all
probability, they would be so many in
struments immediately employed a
gainst us. If we began to a&,we might
hope to fee the Continental Powers rife
in our favour. A war was, in fad, the
only chance for our fafety. If we sur
rendered that which we have now in
our power, our fafety was gone, and
our deftruaion was inevitable."

MEj'rS. EDITOR#.'
TO gratify the fancy of a poetical
politician, I will proceed to offer
some reasons for objecting to Mr.
Langdon's election... Such has been
his conduct heretofore, I allow he can
not be made a fubjed of judicial - con
demnation. It is not expand that I
can bring positive proof of his openly
violating any laws ; and I fninot
pretend to charge him with a cire&
breach of the rules of propriety. Bfc
just implication, and fair inferences,
fufficient evidence may be obtained to
substantiate every objection raised a
gainst his election.
First. He is opposed to the honor,
happiness, and the common wishes of
the citizens of New-Hampshire, by en
couraging, and (hewing a difpofiticn to
adopt the principles of Mr. Jefferson
and his party.
^ Secondly. His exertions authorize
me to fay he extends his arm to proted
vice, in all its hideous forms, and would
willingly destroy the influence of virtue.
fr sThirdly. He is hostile to the chrif
tian religion,by countenancing the most
abandoned of infidels, and supporting
those, who are avowed enemies to the
principles of chriftianity. These are
the reasons for my objecting to the e
le&ion of Ms. Langdon. The most
trivial proof, to substantiate objections
of this nature, will, in the eyes of all vir
tuous men, disqualify him from ever'
being Governor.' Some writer of acute
discernment, and great genius, point
edly observes, that a man, whp wishes
no virtue in his companion, has none
himfelf. The observation is too just to
pass unnoticed ; it applies v^th double
force to prevent Mf^-Langdon's elec
tion. If Mr. LAN&bp{ will openly
and decidedly declare himfelf in favor
of men destitute of all moral. and reli,
gious principles, Shall I not be juflihed
in faying he is their friend, and of
course an advocate for their wicked
ness ?, Democratic logic cannot deny
the truth of this inference. : ; '
ITo apply tp the firft objection-—We
have wiffitffed nothing in Mr. Jeffer
son's administration, but deception,
, duplicity, inconfiflency, and a spirit to
Idestroy all order and establishments.—
He fays one thing, and will not hesi
tate to ad dire&ly contrary to what he
fays ; what he speaks one day, he con
tradicts the next ; what was considered
4 a sacred pledge of public faith has been
;treated as scarcely worthy of attention ;
and many good citizens have found
that a contract with government, must
I bend, or crumble, as would best suit
the pleasure of, Mr., Jefferson
Would it not be a dishonor to the Stat?
of New-Hampshire, ,0 elect a man for
Governor, whoopenly advocates the
righteousness of deception, duplicity;
and inconsistency ?, Befidesa spirit to
destroy all order and eftabliffiments,
The p#e of the citizens of New-
Hampshire has, been, difturoed, their
happiness has been inolefted, by Mr.
Langdon and his friends. They have
made repeated attempts to propagate
opinions, that federalifts were driving
for nothing but tyranny and deflruc
tion of liberty. By low insinuation
and misrepresentation they have at
tempted td deface the faireft charac
ters of the State. , ~f e
To the second objection—lt is too
well known, how Mr. Jefferson pro
ceeds in removing from office men of
unspotted reputation, and how Mr.
Langdon approves it . It is as well
known with, what men he fills their
places. The man once at the head of
an infurrediop, is now. Treasurer of the
United States. A foreign renegade,
who considered it. great pleasure to de
fame th, character of Washington,
is now toe organ of all communication,
and rewarded with handsome emolu
ments. Convicts have been pardoned,
and their fines remitted by Mr. Jef
ferson. The administration oFWash
ington and Adams has been the
theme of abuse ; and Mr. Jefferson's
private puife has been emptied to sup-
;port those, who [pent their whole time
I in dealing out sander against his politi.
cal opponents. Behold a gentleman,
not long since -thought Unworthy of , ,
public confidence, lately appointed tog
discharge the duties of the mod import
ant offices known to our uou'riy.
To the third objection— Can it be 1'
poffble for the citizens of N r -Hamp- Ii
fliire to with atheism and deism to be
introduced in this State ? Wifi they|
shew a difpofitioh to encourage me op
-posers of chrittianity ? I truk they will
not'. Mr, Jefferson defys open-'
ly the truth of chriftianity, and the u- ।
tility of, all religion. He has invited /
the worst of infidels to take refidente in ; 1
tbis country, and made him the confi-'
dent of all governmental fecrits. What!
fays Mr. Langdon ? Why Mr. Jes- ;
person is right-in every thing he does. 1
;Of this let the citizens.of New-Hamp - ;
shire judge. PAPINIAN.'

To the Inhabitants of Portsmouth.
WHEN the Aqueduct „as firft proposed in
this town, it was then cfotenplated to have a
large Refer voir for water ro be ufcd only in case
of fire; but nothing of that mature has been done
since. Instead of which, suppose there (hould
be five or fix Cisterns placed in different parts
of the town, fay one near the Engine-house
No 2, one in Ark-lane, cne near Major Hale's
corner, one near Col. Gains' and one at the
North-end. These Cisterns heed not be more
than fix or eight feet fquare,and about four feet
deep. A pipe of the Aquedudl, with a bore
not much less than the main pipe Should be kt
into each Cistern, in such manner as to be Se
cure from frog—The Cisterns should be cover
ed with plank, so as to be eas!y Uncovered in
case of fire, apd always kept clear flora snow,
and-ice; r The pipe± ftould he flopped' with a
long plug, and as soon as any alarm.of fire is
given, lanes (hotfid be - forked jo the! nearest
Cistern, fetich, with the plug hen taken out,
would afford more water than ill the Engines
in this towrocould discharge. At the' fame time,
it ought to be remembered, that those who take
the Aquedu& into their houses, Should imme
diately flop all the waste water, so that the
whole force of the main pipe might be convey
ed in that particular Cistern, nearest to the fire.
Befidcs the advantage of affording a plenty of
water upon this plan, the great facility in filling
buckets where the water is even with the fur
face ofthe ground,muff beapparent to every OD^.
“ It is conceived shat the expence of the above
Cisterns would not be qibre than the value of
the buckets Toll at the late fire, and considering
the dangerous fituatjon of this town, the build
ings ail of wood, except two or three, and the
Greets gepeinlly narrow, it ishighly incumbent
on the inhabitants to guard against another fire.
“ These thoughts are offered for the confider^
atiJn of the sown at their next meeting, that
this or something Similar, might be adopted.
~ . "An Inhabitant."
To guard against future calamities by fire, in
addition to the above, „a correspondent ear
nestly recommends to our fellow townsmen who
use Chimney, Stoves ioftcad of open Fireplaces,
to cause their chimneys repeatedly each season to
be either swept or burned, in fafe weather—for
these who are uninformed would be astonished
to find the quantity of foot, allies, &c, which
yearly collect and lodge in the,Chimney hack
of ths Stove each fc^on; it ii abfolutcly ncccf
1 '
fary every two or three ytzrq to remove the
Stove and falfe back the Fire-place in order
to take away the foot &c. so coll-died.
