Yesterday the British frigate Venus,
of 36 guns, Capt. Crawford, arrived
here, in 43 days from England ; hav
ing, as passenger, Mr. Morier, Charge
des-Affairs of Great-Britain to the
United States. —He is the bearer of
despatches from Mr. Pinkney, our
Minister in London, to the Secretary
of State. His Excellency Mr. Jack
son and family who are daily expected
from their tour through the interior
and Canada, will take passage in the
Venus. The papers are to the 7th Ju
ly; but contain nothing interesting.
It was stated, the French fleets in Tou
lon, and Scheldt, which are formida
ble in point of numbers,and which con
tain many new & beautiful vessels,were
in complete readiness for sea ; and the
French Minister in a late Expose has
announced the determination of the
Emperor Napoleon to employ a part
of his 350,000 veterans, not occupied
with the conquest of Spain & Portugal
in maritime ex peditions.—We repeat
the British accounts from Spain and
Portugal, though frequently more par
ticular, are never so late as those we
receive direct from those interesting
sections of Europe.
to the editor —" Newport Au
gust 29, 1810. Our election for
Members of Congress took place yes
terday. —There are 31 towns in the
State. —We have returns from 27,
which, give a federal majority of 304.
I therefore pledge myself with confi
dence, that Messrs. POTTER and
JACKSON, two federal anti-submis
sion men, will be elected by a majori
ty of 250 ; and that we shall have 4
majority in the popular branch of our
legislature. I congratulate you on
this occasion.
doubt that the Federal Ticket will pre
vail by a handsome majority.
Although we have not received re
turns from a sufficient number of towns,
to pronounce with certainty the fate
of the election ; yet from those towns
from which we have received particular
returns, and by general information
from various parts of the State, we
think we hazard very little, in declar
ing those gentlemen who composed the
Federal nomination, elected.
To those who feel interested id our
prosperity as a State it must be pro
ductive of great pleasure to percieve
by the votes of our great Head, (Ports
mouth) the increasing influence of the
rising sun of Federalism so long obscur
ed by the clouds of a Democratic Fac-
We hope that so good an example
as has been set by the free born sons
of New-Hampshire, will not be neglec
ted by their brethren in the several
States, but may it inspire them with
the genial influence of patriotism, and
may they emulate the returning virtue
of their sister State.
The High Sheriff of this county had
the magnanimity to remove from office
the person who has had the charge of
the Court-House, in this town ever
since it was built, and appointed a new
onChighly in favor of Democratic e
conomy and principles. The old one
received from the Treasury of the
County, $ 1,00 per day for his ser
vices during the session of the Court;
and the good friends of the people,
the present Judges, allowed the new
one $ 1,75 per day ;—no doubt this
was done to save the people's money.
Such arc the characters who are con
stantly preaching up the strictest econ
omy, and make loud pretentious of
their love for the community. If Sher
iff Butler consult the interest of the
public, why does he interfere in these
trifling offices and dismiss one who has
uniformly conducted to the satisfaction
of every person 1 We do riot wish to
upbraid the young Sheriff, nor do we
wish to render him odious to the pub
lic, yet we think his conduct weares
the appearance of a high tried partizan.
The Epping Patriot seems to grow
more and more odious, and the writings
of Brutus, which have been published
in the Oracle and Constitutionalist;
has opened the eyes of many, who
thought this false hearted man worthy
the confidence of the people. Plumer
is watched by all, lest his pretended
patriotism should terminate like that
of Skinner and Bidwell. It will be im
possible for him so far to deceive the
people, as to make them esteem him
an honest man. His hypocrisy is so
open that it excites universal contempt.
Those who placed him in the Senate
last spring now denounce him.

BRITISH ENVOY ARRIVED.

GOOD NEWS!!!
IMPORTANT -^ Gottenburg.
Capt. Forbes, in the Sylph, from
Gottenburg, 42 days, informs :—
That all the ports of Denmark were
shut against American vessels :
That the Danish privateers capture
every American they can come across ;
and that the most of them were con
demned under some pretext or other.
It was reported, Russia had made
propositions to the English to join
them in a war against France.
A French Consul, alias Confiscator,
was expected at Gottenburg, when it
was known, of course, that American
property would be confiscated. The
Americans, in expectation of this na
tural event, were hauling out of the
reach of the castle.
Capt. Harriot, from Port-au-
Prince, 9th inst. informs, that a few
days before he sailed, Christophe had
taken fort Presque Isle by storm ;
—that Gen. Lamarre was killed by a
cannon shot from one of Christophe's
batteries, while in the ^ct of mounting
his horse. Gen. Goman, who com
manded the south side of the island,
had surrendered with his troops, which
consisted of between 2 and 3000 men,
to Petion. It was expected that
Christophe wodld be obliged to
raise the siege of the Mole, as Petion
was preparing to march against
the Cape in a few days. Petion's fleet,
with a number of h(s wounded on
board, had escaped from the Mole,
and arrived at Port-au-Prince, with
the loss of his three masted sch. The
sch. being closely pursued by Chris
tophe's fleet, was rdn on shore and
blown up by her crew, on the island
Guanaba.
LATE NEFFS FROM SPAIN.
We have seen Gibraltar papers to
the 21st July ; by which it appears
that at that late date the affairs of the
Spanish Patriots were not hopeless.
Between the Ist and 6th July, the
Spaniards made two several attacks on
the French parties in the vicinity of
Seville, and killed many. The patri
ots in Alicant (Vajericia) inimitation
of their invaders, 'had compelled 1000
prisoners (French) to labour on the
fortifications of that city, threatened
with a visit by King Jo. from Madrid.
The French had entered Mequinenza
arid Morelia, one a small city of Ar
ragon, the other on the borders of
Valencia,
The High Marshal ; had been mas
sacred by the people at Gottenburg,
being suspected of having been ac
cessory to the death of the Crown
Prince.— (CT We have seen,in aFrench
paper, the certificates of the surgeons
who opened the body of the Prince
and who declare he died of apoplexy,
The British Consul's function's
ceased at Gottenburg the 20th June,
by order of the Swedish government,
and agreeably to the treaty with
France.
Mr. Robert Diskson, who had
usurped the power of acting as Amer
ican Consul, was said to be an agent
of the Governor of Anhalt, and con
cerned with himin several privateers.
—This contributed not a little to ex
asperate the Danes against Americans ;
in consequence of it being discovered,
that the sard Dickson had no authority
to act as consul, a meeting was held
by the Americans in port, and a letter
addressed to Mr. D. pointing out the
impropriety of his opening despatches
from our government, and likewise the
pernicious tendency his conduct would
have in administering an office he was
in no wise entitled to the possession
of.*
The British Admiral on the station
refused to give convoy instructions to
any but vessels having licence, but ob
served that he conceived himself bound
to protect all American vessels that
chose to join the convoy, and should
protect them accordingly.
The Editor of the New-York Even-
Post has received a file of the Altona
Mercury ; a Stockholm article, dated
the 22d June, gives an account of the
assassination, by an infuriated mob, of
Count Axel Van Versen, Marshal
of the Empire, on suspicion of having
been accessory to the death of the
Crown Prince. This act was per
petrated on the first intelligence of the
death of the Prince, and his body
being brought into the city—The Mar
shal’s coach was attacked, and beat to
pieces ; he fled, was found, dragged
into the market place, a-la-mode de
Francaise, abused and murdered. The
King soon after arrived ; and the ex
ercise of the military force was necces
sary to the dispersion of the mob;
some of whom were killed, and others
imprisoned.
[* It was stated at Copenhagen
that Mr. Dickson being possessed of
the secret marks of American papers,
had fabricated Registers, gc. for En
glish ships.]
From St. DOMINGO.
Great exertions had been made by
the French to embody the Spanish
loyalists to compel them to swear al
legiance to King Jo. and to perform
garrison and other duty.—But in many
instances the French have found these
loyalists to be Spaniards in heart, and
of course haters of every thing French ;
and that they have embraced every
favourable opportunity to execute
vengeance on their French comrades.—
Great numbers of the French had been
Stilletoed; and the King (Jo.) had
dismissed many of his Spanish body
guards, beneath some of whose cloaks
he feared might lurk a dagger which
would be fatal to him.
We have before received many ac
counts of the frequency of desertions
from the auxilliary troops in the French
service in Spain.—These are corrobo
rated.—Paragraphs are seen, stating
the arrivals of deserters at Tarragona
and other places, in daily Squad! of
from 30 to 70. —It is added that the of
ficers of a Dutch Brigade had returned
to Madrid from the frontiers, the men
having deserted to the Patriots, and
left the brigade a skeleton. Lisbon
accounts have noticed the frequent ar
rivals of these deserters ;—and several
transports, laden with them, have ar
rived in England. It must require
some of the reinforcements which it is
stated to ' have passed into Spain, to
supply these losses by desertion and
assassination.
The Spanish Gazettes loudly accuse
Bonaparte of the base perfidy of pois
oning the brave defender of Gerona,
Governor Don Alvarez.
The Gibraltar papers contain no in
timation of any action in Portugal, in
which Gen. Crawford had been en
gaged.—We consider the late report
on this subject, as a sheer fabrication
or exaggeration. — Cent.
It is again reported, that Napoleon
has ordered the imprisonment of all
Americans in France, and the seques
tration of their property. We believe
the tyrant capable of any enormity ;
but the above report requires confirm
ation. — ibid.
A complete hoax was practiced up
on the multitudinous assembly of
Demos who met at Bennington the
16th inst. to keep up the anniversary
of the battle with the Hessians in that
town, on that day 33 years ago.—lt
was reported, that a triumvirate of
democratic governors, (Tompkins,
Gerry and Gallusha) would be present
to assist in the high go ! The an
niversary came, but no Governors
—to the great chagrin of the celeb
rators. —It is probable, those gentle
men, if invite d, considered the occasion
as calculated merely to keep alive
those mean and illiberal feelings which
the immortal Washington pronouc
ed to be cowardly, and unworthy a
victorious People ; and which are in
palpable oppugnation to the spirit and
letter of the Declaration of Independ
ence.—ibid.
IN the present circumstances when
the commerce of my country is forced
into new and hitherto unkrioW— chan
nels, and when it is exposed to the
mostinjurious abuses and misinterpre
tations, it is my most obvious duty to
offer it all the assistance by personal
explanation which may be in my
power.—Thus obliged to repair oc
casionally to the distant parts of my
extensive consular district it has be
come necessary to charge some one
with the agency in my absence. I
have therefore confided the duties of
the consular agent to Mr. James Bab
cock, of Boston, a native American
citizen and a gentleman of respectabil
ity. I give this notice in order that
the acts of Mr. Babcock may meet
with full faith and credit in all matters
touching the interests of my fellow
citizens.
