LATEST FROM DENMARK.
By the Plato, arrived at Salem, from
Tonningrn, some late and important infor
mation has been received. The DanifM,
Government, it appears, had been compelle
cd by a nod from Napoleon, to shut the ports
of Tooningen and Huoum against Ame
rican vessels. The abus4 of the American
flag between the Island of Heligoland and
Tonningen and Hnsum is given in the decree
as the reason for this procedure. We some
days since heard reports of British vessels
‘ laden with colonial produce haviug used
forged papers under the American flag in
those seas; and the last London papers
Stated that not less than five millions ster
ling, jn British produce and manufactures,
were supposed to be at Heligoland, intend
ed for the Continent. This new Danish
decree is rather more friendly than other
wise to American commerce; inasmuch
as it gives our iessgls osmi'^—< practice
not always adopted by Bonaparte and his
f vassal states.
Late sequestrations of American pro
perty in some ports of Swedish Pomerania
end Norway are also announced.
The following is the letter-information
received by the Plato\
FROM TQWIMGR*.

Representatives to 12th Congress,
t ELISHA R. POJTER, Esq.
RICHARD JACKSON) jun. Esq.
, When wo reflect on the measure's, which
for the last three years have been so op
pressive, injurious and disgraceful to the
country, and which justly roused the indig
nation of a free and virtuous people, it is
matter of astonishment that any of the ad
"vacates of that inglorious and baneful poli
cy, should have the hardihood to come for
ward and claim the csnfidence and support
of their follow-citizens as candidates for the
• n< i responsible station of theii
Hepreqjipffives in Congress. Nothing can
cncouJHpiem to expectjuccess, but th<
hope ir adherents, through party
spirit, defamation and slander, may be able
to "blind the people to their own welfare, to
excite animosities and dissentions among
those who are united In the closest bonds of
a common interest, and thus to divert their
attention from those things, which alone
ought to Influence them in the exercise of
. the inestimable privilege of suffrage.' But
in this attempt, we trust, they will be dis
appointed. The freemen of Rh<xle-Islan<!
still remember the oppression and calami
ties which they endured under the opera
tion of the most absurd and tyrannical sys
ffitn Which ever disgraced a free country.
They still recollect who were the authours
of those measures, and who have contri
buted, by their patriocick exertions, to re
lieve us from tjjem. Fellow citizens, do
you value your free republican constitution;
do you desire to see it preserved in its puri
ty, and the rights and dignity of your coun
try maintained by a fair, honest and impar-
Ual administration of the general govern
ment ; do you wish to behold all the vari
ous classes of society prospering together,
under wise, equitable and benign laws, cal
culated to cherish, protect and encourage
qll ? We know that you do. Unite then
with one accord to ensure the re-election of
‘ the candidates above named. They will
exert themselves to effect and secure those
great objects. They are the friends of
agriculture, of copimmerce and manufac
tures, and of all the attendant mechanick
arts. They have no foreign attachments or
antipathies, .but will cultivate by all hon
ourable means, peace and free trade with
all nations. Their characters, both in pub
lick and private life, are beyond the reach
of calumny. They are sincerely and ar
dently attached to the constitution and lib
erties of their country, and to the princi
ples and policy of Washington.

■Extract f «frwer, dateJ Stralsund, fune 10.
A letter from New Or leant, otthe 9ih of
July, received here, states, that there are
hree French privateers stationed at the
Jiulize, who board every vessel entering
>r going outthey take whatever they
please, and sometimes they' offer payment
They go on shore and take from the pilots,
whatever they want; threatening to destroy
them if every wish is not immediately
complied with. They threaten to destroy
di vessels bound to England. Our ship,
the John, on her passage to Arm Or leant,
was boarded and plundered by one of them,
rhe Thorn, formerly of New-Yorkj who
kfterwardn pretended to be distickved, and
put into New-Orleane. The owner insti
luted a suit for damages and the Captain
of the privateer compromised by paying
600 dollars damagesbut he, from the
last accounts, laid off* and on at the Balizc,
waiting for this ship to come out swearing
<he would hang the owner at his yard-arm.
I'he John had been laying 20 days, fear
ing to go out, and the owner at last actu
ally abandoned her and returned to town.
Th 1 .re isKiot even a gun-boat at the Balize,
for the protection of our commerce in that
quarter. Why are not two or three ves
> seis sent there to cruise between the Tor
‘tugat and the mouth of the Mittisififii ?
The commerce is valuable and ought to
be protected. /Hd.
“ The pre.uot government of this place
nave sequester<d all American, and other
foreign property'in Swedish Pomerania.—
This measure took place a few days since ;

Extract of a Itfter, dated Hamburg, fute 19-
“ Accounts have this day readied us,
that a sequestration of American property
has taken place at Stralsund, Scetin and
Koningsburg, by the new French Consul
appointed to that District. All the Salem
vessels were so fortunate as to escape the
iron grasp, except Captain fl. Flint, who
was at Stralsund. luiias excited consider
able alarm among those who are in Hol
stein ; and the tardy and uncertain man
ner in which busmess is done, makes every
one’s situation truly painful. I have had
an unusual share of trouble and difficulty :
My goods have been sold and twice return
ed on my hands. There is to be a change
in the civil and military establishments
nere. The Hamburg troops are to be dis
banded, except 20, and French troops are
to do the duty. There has lately been a
renewal of the old demand, by the French,
which has never been paid, of about
1,800,000 marks banco per annum.**

Tbe following sums have been drawn
from the small but loyal town of Portsmouth
towards defraying the expenses of the im

Reports were circulating in Europe, in

that the mushroom of Westphalia was t<

If the town of Portsmouth had been re

Fellow-CitizeNj,
On the Isst Tuesday of the present
month you will be celled upon tofive your
suffrages for Representatives to the twelfth
Congress. It behoves you on this occasion,
to select those who will best advance your
interests, whether they are of the federal,
or what is often miscalled the republican
party. Messrs. Jackson and Potter are
now y mr Representatives in the eleventh
Congress. If they do represent you; if
their sentiments accord with yours, you
will support them again, you will choose
them to represent you in the twelfth Con
gress."” The former gentleman is large
ly concerned in a Cotton Factory, and is
friendly to American Manufactures. He
is aI«D, ap advocate for commerce, the
hand maid of agriculture,” and he will
support it by bis patriotism aqfri|lents.—
Mr. PoTTXR is a “ farmer.’jftA estate
is “ in landed property,” aiJKFis “ in
timately connected in the landed interest.”
These candidates have no partiality or at
tachment for any foreign nation, but will
pursue the true interests of America with
persevering assiduity. “ Their faithful dis
charge of the duties of the high and impor
tant offices, (as Represoatatives to the
General Assembly and to Congress,) to
which they have been heretofore elected
by the people, are a sufficient pledge of the
integrity of their characters, and the purity
of their views as publick men, and fur
nish the best answer to the libels and slan
ders which are so industriously circulated
against them.” This is the language of the
last Phenix, and we are willing to give
that paper <lqe credit when the language
is afiplied to the characters who deserve
it. I'he men who are here offered to.you,
arefhe disciples of Washington. They
are men who opposed tin embargo, be
cause they saw it would affect the agricul
tural interest. They were right, and the
situation of our farmers, while the embar
go was in operation is a convincing proof
they were so. Why was the embargo
raised ? Was it because our differences
with foreign nations were adjusted i No.
Was it because it affecud the interests of
a majority of Congress? Na Was it be
cause thostu who advocated it were con
vinced it Wrald affect their party, and that
an adherence to it w»uld but servfto in
crease the opposition ofthe agricultural and
commercial part of New-England ? Yes.
These were the' reasons why the ethbai go
was raised. And these are tire reasons why
you are called upon to reject Messrs. JacK
son and Potter. But I trust, fellow
citizens, your better judgement will dic
tate that these men are able and willing
to serve you. That they are capable to
defend the interests of the farmer, the
merchant and the manufacturer. Your In
terests and theirs are the same. Be not
duped by names, but inform yourselves of
the talents, the integrity and the principles
of the men now presented toyou, and I trust
you will not hesitate in giving them your
huffrnges. A QJTIZEN.

Extract of Communication from Bur
rittville, to a Refiubliean in ihit town.
" 1 have seen in one of your papers, call
ed The z\mERICAN, many pieces about
James Aldrich’s influence. In this town,
Aldkich is not much thought of, but that
we have felt his influence in an indirect
way, will be seen by what I shall now com
municate. Last spring we elected John
EastEn our Representative to the Gene
ral Assembly. After his election, and be
fore the commencement of May session, we
had the fullest assurance from him, that
he would legislate for the interests of the
town, and that in the officers he
would act according to of bis
constituents. He wasparticuraNy requested
to oppose HKvSen Wallen, as a Justice
of the Peace. Wallen was well known
to be a man on whom ao-ieliance could be
placed. He belonged to the same class
with David How kll, and it is well known
his politicks are of the “ doubtful and min
gled kind.” Knowing this to be his cha
racter, sixty-mne of thr republicans of Bur
rillville requested Ealten to oppose his
'rt-clection. Notwithstanding all this, and
not regarding the pledge of obedience to the
voice of his constituents, Easten, on his
arrival in Newport, consulted James Al
drich concerning the election of
len, and by the advice of Aldrich, he
favoured the election of Wallen aza Jus
tice of the Peace. This Dtensaction has
created much disturbance in this town.—

Mathewson, were sent for to settle the
difficulty.. They came. p«wt haste, and it

the President Adams against entering the
port of St. Petersburg, “ under the provi

Tift and it Is with surprise they dis ,
covered the Intimacy between the Gov
qrnour and AmHHCN. The opinion we
how entertain of Easten is obi favourable.
We vict? him as being altogether under the
influence of Jam<s Aldrich. Wehqve
learnt that he Is not the man we ooefe
thought* him to be. His republicanism it>
mere professional, and under the cloak of
it. his only aim js to subserve his own inte
rests and the political views of Aldrich
He Has been induced by Aldrich to offer
himself again as a candidate for Represen
tative, but 1 trust he will not be elected.—
We have fixed on another person, who is
capable and honest, and wbd will not be
biassed by Aldrich, but will exert him
self for the interests of the town and the
State. Our freemen feel themselves inte
rested in the approaching election, and J
trust the result will clearly shew that we
are able to manage our affairs in our own
way, without the assistance of thr Govern
our, James Aldrich or Elisha Ma
