Tint nobat remains of this difafrous flute

The globe can never taste pf peace, while the Spirit of
pnivcrfal dominion, pervades rhe councils of France. She
Speeds as the lightning to feenes of conquest, and the voice
Os her thunders is heard at the extremes of nature.
Yesterday afternoon the Rev. Mr. Buckminfter
delivered a very judicious difeourfe to the Officers
and Members of the Charity School, from this
text of scripture, Psalm 112, —verse 5. A good
man fheoxetb favor and lendetb, be <will guide bit

We seldom witnessed a more affecting feene than
the scholars presented, clothed in uniform, simple
but handsome, wjth countenances contented
and cheerful.
The effedon the fpe&ators was very confidera
ble,and we are happy to notice, that the collection
exceeded 100 dollars.
The house and furniture of Edmund Tappan Esq. a;
Deerfield, was destroyed on Wednesday or Thursday night

Thursday the 17th day of November next, is appointed
by the Governor, ata day of Public Thanksgiving through
put this State.
The Cabinets of Russia and Prussia, are constantly em
ployed in a fcefet correspondence; and as the dispatches of
both Sovereigns, are written by their own hands, the Min
isters of these two courts, are ignorant of their contents,
and the public mind, is left to wander amid the wilds of
cotfcaure. Some have thought that the dengh of media
tion, between the Belligerent Potsers, occupied their time.
But we rather suppose that mediation would be refufed by
Bonaparte, if accede 1 to by England ; as the old maxim,
to Defend a est Carthago,Has fa ken full peffi ffion of bis foul;
rind he is goaded by the sovereign people, to destroy Great
Britain, or perifa it, the attempt. Were ire to hazard a
conjecture, on the nature of these ferret dispatches, they
probably refer to their own concerns, and Alexander and
Frederic, are concerting personal measures, co repel any in
fra&ion of their Imperial rights ; Should this be effected,
the world at a dilfancc may ru!h to remedilefs ruin. The
idea of felicity beyond themselves, is too enlarged a thought,
for the felfinterefted hearts of diademed despots.
It is said that a spark, from the electrical apparatus of
French iliuminifin, light on a magazine of phiiofophical
fools, aflfembled before the walls of Canton. The Grand
Operator,had a fancy th electrify .he Chinese Emperor ; and
his Majesty having prepared a rcpcllant powder, blew 5000
of the principal conductors, of this infernal machinery, into
the air. The body of Noang-ti, the Volney of the day,
and the Voltaire of the hour, flew off to thirty-two points
of the compass; And his bear less noddle, adorns the flag
ftaff of the imperial tower. So.nuch for illuminifm.

E^tr^a of a letter from the Captain of theftip South-
Carolina to his owners, dated Havre, Aug. 17.
" I wrote you from Fecamp, three days after
my arrival here, but did not mention that all
Americans are embargoed for want of certificates
of their cargoes from the French consul, certifying
that they do not consist of the manufactory or
produce of Great Britain, nor any of the colonies.
This order of the French government was passed
during my passage, for which reason it was out of
my power to procure one.
"In this situation we are detained, without hav
ing liberty either to discharge or depart with the
fame cargo. I have been in Paris for three weeks
using all the interest that lay mmy power, with that
of Mr. Livingftcn, our minister, and many others
of great interest, but ail to no purpose ; but expert
soon to get through with it one way or the other,
either to return with the cargo or discharge.
“ The business is all tranfafted through the
hands of the First Consul, who presides over the
civil as well as military departments.
Augaft. 20. "I have just returned from the
Tribunal refpe&ing thefuit with the -consignees
of the cargo ; it has been plead upon both sides
and waits the determination of the judge which
will be on Monday next, whether the Consignee
Khali pay demurrage or not. I think there is no
doubt of a favorable decision. At any rate,l Ihall
be obliged to return with the fame cargo for New-
York, as the French government is determined to
enforce the law."
Padawan Og|Cu, the celebrated diflurber of the Otto
man Empire, has dissolved the momentary purification tnat
exiftea; assumed the pellice of war; and is marching with
all bis tails, for the gates of ConQar tinople.
The horizon of the universe L clouded. The afpe& of

The gates of Janus, are oj^ened to all the cardinal points ;

SATURDAY, October 15.
FOREIGN.
The latest accounts from Europe, furnifh nothing of any
material consequence. They consist in total, of immeufe
details that refpe& offenfive preparations, on one fide, and
defenfive measures, oh the other. The Cpnfulatc of France
appears to be busily employed, in the conftruaion of gun
boats, and her filter Republic Batavia, is exercising Dutch
genius, on the fame fubjedt. The *galley Have, and his im
perial Lord are equally active, in making ready, for the
threatened invafiob, which threatens to whelm Brittannia
beneath an inundation of plagues; war, massacre, plunder,
fire, and a waste of crimes
Great Britain on her part, is far from regarding these
threats, as the language of empty gafconade ; and conse
quently is calling into energy, all the power and resources
of an empire, which has long been the admiration and the
envy of the universe. Even the female bosom has caught
the flame of patriotism, and Lady Craven, claims the
honor, of personally commanding a body of fix hundred
Amazons. Many of the Nobility, radfe, clothe and equip
full regiments. The Marquis ofjTaviftock pays 3020 guin
eas as his private bounty, co one corps of hardy Yeomen.
Albion never has beholden so proud a day, for the
triumphs of national spirit, which stands like the genius of
the sea girt Mle, on her chalky cliffs, smiles at the tempest
and defies the Borm. With efforts like these making in all
parts of the realm ; with energies like those, that are mo
mently riling into action ; Britannia has every thing to
hope, and very little to fear, unless that the parricidal
arm of domestic treason, should palsy the efforts of
the nation ; divide Ireland from the common cause, and
wrap the United Kingdoms, in the goty robe of civil war.
Some attempfs of this kind have showed themselves: But
the flrong arm of Government has nearly quelled the in
cipient power of treason ; and few diftinguilhed characters
appear to have taken an active part against the parent coun
try. The great body of well informed Catholics profefs
the most unshaken loyalty; and so far as the fomenters of
the late riots, have been discovered, they are composed of
unhappy entbufiafts misguided by that fatal ignorance,
which is peculiar to the lowest classes of life, in a country
where they have not the means, which the poorest of the
poor enjoy in America, through the medium of public
fchook.
Appeal to Humanity !
The Dwelling-house of Mr. William Man, for.
of the late Peter Man, of this face, mas confuted by
fire, at Shapley, a few weeksface. By this accident,
Mr.kif Mrs. Man and four children, are deprived of
all the comforts and necefories of life. They are
houfelefs f the approach of winter. They are bereft
of beds to repose on ; of clothes to wear ; of prove,
fans to fup?ort nature. Citizens of Portsmouth ;
you have experienced the fame ! providence has done
much for you! you have been greatly relieved ! a few
dollars left at William and Daniel Treadwell's
fore for the poor family will fafely reach the affixed.

PREVAILING EPIDEMICS.
NEW.YORK.
The fever does not exhibit any marks of abate
ment, but is extending beyond the limits in which
it has heretofore been confined. The Committee
of Health's reports, are,
* October ,th, 31 new cases, , deaths,
— Bth, 24 do, 9 do.
9th, 15 do. 18 do.
The Committee having learnt, that federal fami
lies had returned to the city, have solemnly remon
ftr^ed against a step so fatal in its immediate effed
upon thole who may return, and in its probable
confeauence upon those who may surround them.
Nothing but hard frofts, the Committee fay, will
check the disorder ; and until, therefore these
occur, it will be throwing lives away to return.
“ Ai prefer," they add," there is nothing to invite
and every thing to dissuade from a return ; no hu
finefs, no society, no means of fubfiftance can be
expected by the Solitary families who might attempt
to regain the deferred places of their former abode.
The very gloom which would surround them must
of itfelf produce melancholy and dileafe, to which
thole who have been inhaling a purer ajmofphere
become more susceptible. The difordet-has not
dimin.fhed in virulence, or contrasted the limits of
its former ravages ; —on the contrary it is more
fad and is more scattered throughout the city, lo
that at prefect but a small part may be fald to be
free from its influence.'
Os the donations received, we notice one from
Isaiah Thomas,Efq. of Worcester, of §0 dollars, for
the relief of such journeymen printers or their fam
ilies, 2s may be in distress during the prevailing ca

— John Barry.
When the death of this gallant officer was an
nounced, the numerous ornamennts of his naval
and domestic characters frefhened in our recol
l^Qion, and a blameless impulse was felt to pay
his memory the homage of our gratitude and
sincere regret ; a tribute which the generous
will be proud to echo, and wicli the ingenious
cannot disapprove.
It may be needless to observe that Capt Bat
ry espoused with ardour the cause of Liberty ear
ly in the year 1775, or to fay,with what constan
cy of attachment and boldness of enterprize he
supported her interest during the war ; all that
read the details of that glorious struggle must be
familiar with the name of Capt. Barry,and view
in him a patriot of true integrity and of undoubt
ed bravery.
His naval achievements would of themselves,
have reflected much honour on his memory, but
these could not have endeared it to his fellow
citizens, had he wanted those gentle and amiable
virtues, which embellish the gentleman,and enno
ble the soldier. Nature, not less than kind for
tune, gave him a heart, which the carnage and
desolations of war could not harden into citiclty ;
and the tenor of h's naval career exhibits a proof
that the art of commanding does not consist ih su
percilious haughtiness, tyrannous insult and wan
ton severity. In the pleafing^iew which his life
presents, wefontemplate a trait highly worthy of
admiration as well for its intrinsic excellence, as
forits rare emergence in the bnftle and diftradion
of war—a punctilious observance of the duties of
his religion. In the scope of his character then,
we survey with pleafute, a warm and steady
friend, a firm patriot, a mild and humane com
mander, a valiant soldier, and a good Christian,
beloved by numerous friends, honoured by his co
patrioi&and refpeded by all who knew him.
