In the county of Oneida, the election
in August was divided —two federalists
one democrat. At the last eledion the
federal majority was about 800.
The democrats nowheap “ words on
words to prove that Callender was al
ways ah infameus fellow. But who
fed him for blackguarding ?

BOSTON, AUGUST fr
.BOSTON FRIGATE-
Capt. May from Gibraltar, which
he left about the 20th June, informs,
it was reported there, That Capt. M'-
Neil,in the Bolton frigate, ofg? guns,
cruizing in the Mediterranean, observ
ing seven Tunisian corsairs in pursuit of
a Neapolitan vessel, interposed to pre
vent her capture. An adion ensued,
which terminated, in finking two of
the Tunisian vessels, difmafting three
others, and causing the other two to
theer off.—Th^ frigate afterwards put
into Sicily, having a number of her
crew killed and wounded. So stands
the report ; on which the public opin
ion ought to remain suspended until
uncial particulars arrive. It is proba
ble the Boston has been detained in the
Mediterranean by some unforefeen e
vent, as the government expected her
arrival here by the 26th of last month:
But we have not heard of any depre
dations committed onour commerce by
the Tunisians; nor that any law of
Congress has authorized hostilities a
gainst them; The law passed the last
session, empowered the President to e
quip any vessels he thought proper to
proted the commerce of the United
States in the Mediterranean ; and to
capture Tripolitan vessels ; but on the
21st January, when Mr. Bayard mov
ed an addition to the law authorizing
the President to grant letters ofMarque
against Tunis, if the exiting state of
things should require it, it was opposed
by Mr. Giles, and negatived. The
law of the 6th February, only author
izes hostilities against Tripoli—lt is,
therefore, highly improbable that so
experienced and corred an officer as
Capt, M'Neil would interfere in the
(parrel between Tunis and Naples, to
prevent the capture of a vessel belong
ing to the latter, when the U. States
were at peace with Tunis. We do not
question, that such was the report at
Gibraltar,and that Capt. May has com
municated it as he heard it ; but we
cannot give any credence to it as it
stands. •
Capt. May further informs, that Com
modore Morris, on the 20 June, at Gib
raltar, told him that about a fortnight
before be had expected a rupture with
the Moors, and had written home for
reinforcements ; but the Emperor as
suring Mr. Consul Stimpfon that he
had not the least intention of going to
war with the United States, he (the
Commodore) had, by the Essex, coun
termanded his former letter. How
ever,two days after the Essex failed,an
express arrived at Gibraltar, from the
Emperor, demanding American paff
portsfor all vessels bound from his do
min ions toTripoli with wheat; and that,
be thould take theTripoline floopof war
then dripped ^Gibraltar, under hispro
^e&ion, and fee her fafe into Tripoli ;
joffible regain the loft money and re
.ore it to its feeble anddecrepid owner,

ALBANY, JULY JO.
At the election in the county of Kenf
f dear, for members in our Rate con
tention, in August last year, which was
fooafted of as a test of the strength of
parties,, there was a majority for the
(Democratic ticket of 75°* At the last
flexion, (this year,) which was follow
ed up with more than common intrigue
and assiduity on the part of the demo
crats, the candidates ele&ed were divid
d between the two parties,
In Columbia county, the democratic
sicker was carried at the August election
# ?y 900 majority. 1 At the last election
ihe majority was for the federalifts bet
ter than a hundred, making a difference
f more than a thousand votes.
In Otfego county, where it was ob
%rved last summer, that no exertions
^ere made except by the federalifts,
there appears to have been a change be
tween that eledion and the last, in favor
of federalifm, offomewhere about 400.
^o great distance from the place where
the horrid and malignant deed had been
perpetrated. Stewart is lodged in pris
on at Burlington, and it is hoped he
will not be from thence delivered until
he hath received his jutt reward. Never
/id men behave with a more praise
worthy and laudable zeal, than the citi
: ?ns of New Mills on this occasion ; —•
or and amazement, and inspired with
a. spirit of undaunted and determined
erfeverance to find the robber, and if
ey were one and all struck with hor-
" His attempt is vain—for any can
did man who will recur to the official
documents, will pronounce the repairs
and expenditures needlessly lavish and
extravagant ; and such as were neither
required by the treaty, nor warranted
by law or the constitution.
" The" Citizen" fays, in substance,
that various expenditures are charged
under the head of repairs, which swell
the total amount to an enormous size.
This we grant—and from this hint,fhall
proceed to prove the charge of unau
thorized extravagance. By what authori
ty did Mr. Jefferfon order the payment
of wages to the officers of the Berceau,
while hundreds of Americans were
famifhing in French prisons in the Wef
t ? By what authority were seve
ral hundred dollars expended in wine,
for the officers and crew of the Berceau,
and charged to the public under the
head of repairs ?—The Navy agent at
Boston writes to the Secretary of the
Navy, under date of June 24, ißot,
that he had furnifhed some articles for
the Berceau which were not on board at
the time of her capture, such as ham
mocks, blankets, &c.— By what author
ity was this done ?—Did the treaty re
quire it?- Did the law authorize it ?—
The French commander, encouraged
by this liberality, had the presumption
to ask forf/verfpoms, plated ware, china,
&c. and why they were not promptly
furnifhed is the only wonder, after wit
nessing how far the officer had already
gone beyond bis orders. — It might have
had an excellent effed " in the moment
of returning friendihip." It appears
by the official documents, that the Ber
ceau was " furaifhed with a new cable
of eighteen inches, one hundred and
twenty fathoms in length, and amply
supplied with spare cordage" —Did the
treaty require this i—“ She was fur
nifhed with a new barge," besides hav
ing her own boats repaired. Was this
required by the, treaty :—She was fur
nifhed with beef, pork, bread, beans,
rice, flour, oil, rum and wine, of the
best kind, for three months ;—befides
gunpowder and other military stores.
How hand the treaty-stipulations on
this head ? In these refpeds it was that
the officer presumed to go confderably
beyond bis orders ; —and if the " Citizen"
can exonerate him from the charge of
extravagance and profufion, he must
press into his service some new species
of logic. —-
Report of the Philadelphia Board of Health
" HEALTH OFFICE, AUGUST J, 1803.
" The reports to this office present to
the Board of Health, a more alarming
increase of the mortality of the prevail
ing fever than has hitherto appeared
during the present season. From the
number of new fubjeds daily added to
the lift of sick, and the raalignant issue
of many of them, there is ample cause
to believe, that the present contagious
disease is marked with characters of as
malignant a nature as any which has
hitherto affixed this city.
" In consequence of an impression of
this nature, the Board of Health is im
pelled by motives of duty, and regard
for their fellow-citizens, to warn tnem
of the approaching danger, and to en
treat those whose health will permit, im
mediately to withdraw from the city
and diftri&s : by which means we hope
to be instrumental, under Providence,
in preserving to the community the lives
of many ufeful and valuable citizens.
" The following are the number of
tick and dead reported this day by the
phyticians and the committee of this
Board :—
[The board then give the names of
ten perfons,ih Water, Callowhill, Front,
Third, Arch, Second, and Race Greets ;
and thedeath of 8 perfans the 4th inft.]
" In addition to the foregoing, the
board has learnt that some others are
sick and dead ; but having no authen
tic information on the fubjed, forbear
to report them. Asameafure of fate:
The Editors of the Balance in reply
ing to a paragraphift in the Barometer
(a Democratic paper) who asserted that
the repairs on the Berceau were not ex
travagant and profufe, makes these
neat remarks :—
and in case of refuGi he should order
Mr. Stimpfon out of the territories.—-
With these demands Commodore Mor
ris refufed to comply; and failed in
company with Capt. Mayfor Tangiers.
Mr. Gavino our Consul at Gibraltar
had distributed circulars to all the Con
suls in that neighborhood, to warn
them of the danger he apprehended
there would be in a few days in Ameri
cans palling the Streights without con

DIED]—On the 9th inst. a^is fa
ther's feat at Little Harbor, Mr. Na
thaniel Tracy Sheafs, aged twen
ty one, fort of Jacob Sheafs, Esq. of
this town, after a severe illness of only
five days. The violence and nature of
his disorder convinced him at an early
Rage that his case was beyond the reach
of medical aid, yet death had no ter
rors for his mind : he resigned himfelf
into the hands of that merciful Being
who gave him exigence, appearing con
fident of enjoying happiness in the fu
ture state, through the merits of our
Redeemer.^
He possessed an active and enlighten
ed mind, an honed and feeling heart,
susceptible in the nicest degree to the
distresses of others ; he was a young
man of corred principles and morals,
knowing and pradifing the duties
which he owed as a son, as a brother,
as a friend, and as a man : these virtues
combined with a good disposition, and
amiable manners, secured to him the
love, esteem and refped, of his connec
tions, of his friends, of the world.
It may truly be said that in the death
of this excellent young man, humanity
has loft a friend, and society one of its
best ornaments.
Let us who knew him, give a tear to
the memory of his virtues, and let the
stranger sympathize with his numerous
friends and relatives.
While we lament his early fate, let
us remember that—
" Honorable age is not that which
4 ftandeth in length of time, or that
" is measured by number of years ;
" But wisdom isthe^rey hairunto men,
"and an unspotted life is old age. He
" pleased God, and was beloved of him ;
"so that living among sinners he was
" translated; Yea, speedily was he
" taken away, left that wickedness
"should alter his understanding or de
" ceit beguile his foul."
