The United States oracle of the day — Portsmouth, N.H., 1800-06-14 00:00:00, page 2

We agree with your Excellency, that the
Conflitution has summarily pointed out the
great duties of Ijcgiflatures and Magistrates, &
if, in the difcbarge of our refpc&ive trusts, we
adhere to the spirit, as well as the letter of that
Constitution we may reasonably flatter our
selves, that, " public and private charity, indtflry,
and frugality, bonefly, and punctuality, fmcerity, good
bumour, and all facial dftflions, and generous fenti
mentsf will prevail among the people.
At the distribution of public employments de
pends in a great meafurc on the firft Executive
Magiftrare, we felicitate onrfelves and our fel
low-citizens, upon the election of a man, who
will with the ftriQeft impartiality feled and
reward fupcriqr talents and meritorious services,
when accompanied by a virtuous life and moral
and religious principles.
No opinion has been more prevalent among
civilized nations, and we believe none better
founded, than that " religious principles in the
people arc cffential to morality and thefopport of lanu
ful government, and that the obligation to piety a im
posed on man by bis nature." If lately these opin
ions have been ridiculed, apd demoralizing Phi
losophers have patronized sentiments diametri
cally opposite-—is the authenticity of revealed
religion has been openly denied, and its doc
tripes represented as unfriendly to focia^r in-'
dividual happiness—is the Author of our Holy
Religion has been vilifiedjn some countries, and
man reduced to a level with the brute creation,
by denying the immortality of the foul, it be
comes us, who have so lately and so solemnly
profeffed our belief of the truths of Christianity,
to endeavour to prevent the progress of these
principles of infidelity by every mild and pru
dent measure- -by promoting the means of gen
eral knowledge and information-—by excluding
viciotis and profligate persons from the instruc
tion of youth—by encouraging and fupportirfg,
honorably, public Teachers of Religion & Mo
rality, and those especially enforcing by ex
ample the effects of that pure Religion, which
we regard as thefureft source of human feliciry.
Ip your Excellency's laudable,patriotic & zeal
ous exertions for the public good, we place the
fulleft confidence; and we doubt not your rea
dy concurrence in every measure tending to se
cure to the People the benefits of a mild and
just government ; and we most cordially join
with your Excellency in supplicating the Al
mighty Ruler of Nations to succeed our nation
al endeavors to promote the peace, prosperity,
and happiness of this Commonwealth.
Quitting these fubje&sbf mournful regret, we
ought to cherish the nioft fervent gratitude to
the Supreme Being—that we enjoy the blcfhngs
of a free and undisturbed government. —that the
laws are refpedted,—and that, notwith handing
any diversity of political opinion, internal tran
quillity, domeflic happiness, good humour and
kind offices so generally prevail among the citi
zens of this Commonwealth.
While Carnage and Defoliation with unusual
fury, have laid waftc foroe of the faireft portions
of Europe, it has pieafed Divine Providence to
permit this country to progress in the cultiva
tion of those ufeful arts, which enrich and ame
liorate the condition of man.
Invited by these resources, their extensive fea
coaft,and their charadleriftic enterprise, to em
bark largely in a Commerce rendered doubly
profitable by their neutrality, the United States
have experienced frequent interruptions to their
trade by unprovoked infractions of the law of
Nations. Within the last few years, these inju
ries have proceeded from a nation, for whom
We had cherished the most friendly sentiments,
and the most conciliating measures to obtain re
dress which human wisdom could devise, have
been pursued without success. We did not c
ven place ourfelvts io a posture of defence, un
til the roused feelings of the American People
taught them a sentiment which the late Presi
dent had often and in vain addressed to their
understanding, " flat if we dtfre peace, it must be
blown that tve are prepared for rear.
The hiftory of our intercourse with foreign
rations will be the lading record of the purity,
th impartiality, the pacific policy,the wisdom
and the prudence of the Executive Authority
of the United States. It must be fatisfa&ory to
know, that hopes are entertained that the exit
ing negotiations with the French Government
will put an end to the injuries we have so long
and so juilly complained of. Every enlightened
friend to his country muff ardently desire that
we may not be compelled to renounce the ad
vantages of our neutral situation. However
the event is in the hand of God, and let it ter
minate as it may, it is the duty of all good citi
zens to adhere to the government of their choice
and to submit with cheerfulnefs to those expen
ses which have been the price of their security.
If in the issue of our controversy with France,
we should. not h<ve occasion to resort to arms,
it may be attributed, in a great measure, to the
spirited preparations which we had made for
.refinance.
The occasion unavoidably obtrudes upon our
reflexions, the unexampled losses we-have late
ly sustained, by the deccafe of some of our most
icfpeaed f.llc.v citizens; By the death of our
most excellent Governor, this State was depriv
ed of a man, who was greatly and deservedly
cleaned in private, and highly refpeXed in
public life.—Since which afflictive dispensation,
the whole nation has been called to lament the
loss of the illustrious WASHINGTON, the
firft and best of men ; and however vain would
be the attempt to rival his finguiar greatness &
attainments, yet his integrity, his purity, his un
affected piety, his refpeX for religious institu
tions, and his zeal for the public good,may, and
ought to be imitated by all.
We regret, with your Excellency, the recent
death of our Chief Magistrate, the Lieutenant-
Governor —An early, decided, & firm friend to
to the rights of his country, who long experi
enced the confidence of his fellow-citizens, in va
rious high and diftinguilhed offices in the com
monwealth.

ANSWEFroFTIIE HOUSE,
To the Speech ofbis Excellency the Governor.
May it pleefeyoor Excellency,
THE invitation of the citizens of a State, so
,large and refpe&able as that of Massachu
setts, at a moment so interesting as the present,
to fill thoimportant office of its Chief Magistrate,
as it evinces the public opinion of the virtues
and talents of the man thus distinguished, muff
be highly gratifying to a patriotic mind.
The integrity and ability with which you
have performed the various duties of the high
and important Rations in which you have been
placed, leave us no room to doubt, that you will
fill your present dignified office with reputation
to yourfrlf and fatisfa^ion to the community,
r.otwithftauding the apprehensions which you
have been pleased to express. Indeed our ex
pectations are raised from our past observation,
that diffidence, virtue and talents are almost in
separable companions.
If errors, from which no mortal is exempt,
Should elude your Excellency's wisdom, you
may place a just reliance on the candour and
magnanimity of your fellow-citizens. As the
mistakes of virtue, they would obliterate them
from their recollection.
The good effects of our antient religious in
stitutions have been so long and so amply ex
perienced that we ardently hope the legislature
will confider their support and encouragement,
among the firft objects of its care ; and that the
people at large, will be enabled to form a just cf
timate of their nature and excellence.
Your Excellency will be pleased to accept
the assurances of the Senate, of their cordial
wishes for the success of your administration ;
and we join with you in the solemn Applica
tion, that the " Almighty may succeed our u
nited endeavors to render the people of the
Commonwealth prosperous and happy.
CO UNTERFEITS.
BALTIMORE, MAY 29.
THE public are again cautioned against re
ceiving counterfeit ten dollar notes of the Bank
of the United States; these notes are so well
executed, that no one has a suspicion of them
until they are detected in the banks—immense
quantities of them have been put into circula
tion—and the numtes that have been impos
ed upon retailers, give great cause to fufpe&
that some Scoundrel is this moment employed in
passing them in Baltimore.
It behoves the people to be watchful, for a
nest of such fellows Should be hunted up. All
the notes that have been detected are marked
with a large red A, which makes them the
more easily difeovered, as there are very few
good notes in circulation,with that mark. The
cashier's signature is in general rather large, the
president's not so well done ; the rest of the note
is the fame with the true one—and what they
have always failed in heretofore, good paper,
they have now remedied, as the paper of many
of them is equal to most bank paper.
Most of the principal merchants at St. Tho
mas, have lately failed.
ANSWER OF THE SENATE,
To the Speech of Ills Exc'y the Governor
Mq, it plcafe your Excellency,
The Senate, with particular and sincere fat
isfadtion, offer their congratulations upon your
election to the Chief Magistracy of the Com
monwealth. Your fellow-citizens-by their free
and uninfluenced fuffrages, have called you to
preside in their councils, and constituted you
their political father. We rejoice in common
with the friends of virtue, patriotism, and reli
gion, in this distinguished mark of their affec
tion and confidence, and we indulge the pleat
ing expectation and belief, that your adminis
tration will be guided by that spirit of mildncfs
and that unshaken attachment to the govern
ment and its laws, which during a long series of
public services you have so eminently.manifefted.
The lofs,vhich our country has lately sus
tained, by the death offome of its most worthy,
ar.d beloved citizens, is a fubjeft of mournful
regret ; and affords a solemn Icffon, to those
who are called to iucceed them in places of hon
or and preferment. And we trust that its in
ftruXive and affecting influence, will have a
tendency to double zeal in the cause of virtue
and their country.---The removal of the late
Governor Sumner by death was indeed an as-,
fliXing event : Amiable and exemplary in pri
vate life ; punctual, intelligent, vigilant and
patriotic in his public functions, he would long
have continued the friend, the ornament, and
the pride of his fellow-citizens, if their affections
and prayers could have prolonged his ufeful and
valuable life.
America has loft in General WASHING
TON her firfl and best friend ; and the world,
a difintcrefted and an enlightened benefactor !
That such a man, (under Providence) was the
founder of our Government, and the able and
faithful guardian of its rights ; —that he conduc
ted its armies to victory, and its citizens to in
dependence and happiness; that he flood firm
and uncorrupted at the helm of the nation, a
midst the Horms of party, and the dangerous
and uncertain operation of fyflems of experi
ment ; —that he triumphed over vice, anarchy,
and the enemies of public order ; —that he has
transmitted to poilerity a new and great ex
ample of private and patriotic virtue, and here
in an inheritance, which if rightly improved,
will extend its happy influence to remotefl pof
teriry ; —and that he closed the career of a life
devoted to his country and the good of man
kind, with the hopes and jojs of a philosopher
and a chriftian, are considerations which ought,
amidst the universal Sorrow for his loss, to cre
ate in the bread of every American, not only
the highest gratitude, but an unalterable attach
ment to Ids country's welfare.
We realize with your Excellency, and our
fellow-citizens at large, the loss fuflained by the
death of the late Lieutenant Governor. The
early friends of American freedom will long
remember with gratitude,his zeal and faithful
nets in her cause. His reward has been the un
equivocal testimony of the esteem of his fellow
citizens, by their repeated and unanimous elec
tions to the Second office in their gift.
Whatever may be the event of out negotia
tions with the French government, it will be a
Source of Satisfaction to the people of the United
States, that every measure has been adopted,
which wisdom and prudence could dictate, to
reconcile our differences in an amicable manner.
Having been patient under multiplied and ag
gravated encroachments upon our rights as a
neutral nation, we have the fulleft confidence,
that the independent and enlightened citizens
of America, will cheerfully submit to every
measure and duty, which the Safety and honor
of their country may Demand. We cordially
unite with your Excellency in opinion that the
refloration of harmony will greatly depend up
on our preparations for defence. And when
the faithful pen of hiflory, shall record our sin
cere and ardent desires for reconciliation and
peace, may it also record the grateful acknowl
edgments of Americans, to the Author of every
“ good and perfect gift," for the blessings of
the best government by which Society has ever
been united.
The Senate receive and reciprocate with great
Satisfaction and fincerity,your Excellency's fen-"
timencs upon the fubjed of morality and reli
gion.
Our Anceflors early recognized the great
and important truth, that religion and good
government are intimately connected, and mull
Hand or fall together.
If the people of New-England have experien
ced great prosperity, or manifefted an attach
ment to the interests of Science, beyond any
former example, it is evidently the Salutary re
sult of those inflitutions of religion and learn
ing, which were among the firftworks of their
piousand patriotic founders. We lament with
deep regret, the disposition of any cf our citi
zens, to depart from the ancient manners and
habits of our country. In a government like
ours, which can be Supported only by the vir
tue and the intelligence of the people, its foun
dation is effcntially undermined and endangered,
by a propensity to innovation and licentiousness.
We shall confider it among the firft duties of
the legislature to endeavor, by every rational
and conflitutional method, to check its alarm
ing progress ; and we feel a sincere and unfeign
ed gratification, that the principles and exam
ple of your Excellency will not only have a
tendency to Support and encourage the friends
of religion, but also to reclaim its deluded ene
mies.
Among the brave men whom the
army has to regret, is Clavel, chief of
battalion, of the loth, Gen. Claufel,
who commanded these different expe
ditions, is entitled to much praise. The
7th light infantry & their commander,
Boyer, particularly distinguished them
selves.
On the 20th, General Claufel was
engaged the whole day on the small
hills ,in the neighbourhood of Saipt
Jacques. He took prisoners, 150 Hun
garian grenadiers. Chevalier Ckef du
Battalion, assistant to the adjutant-gen
eral Solignac, was killed. We fought
the whole clay of the 22d. Gen. Solig
nac was wounded.
Gen. Qudinot, chief of the Raff, who
was the bearer of difpatcl^s from the
On the 20th General Maffena at
tacked the enemy at Safello and Albif
fola. The affair continued the whole
day, and on the 21st general Maffena
brilkly repulsed the enemy, and took
from them a number of prisoners.
On the 23d, 24th, and 25th, Gene
ral Malfena had sharp engagements,
the result of which was constantly in
our favour. He took from the enemy
4500 prisoners, seven standards, and
fix pieces of cannon.
On the 13th, however, I had evac
uated the position of Saint Jacques, &
had advanced to the line of Borgetto.
The Madona de la Nave was taken and
retaken several times. The Hungari
an grenadiers fuffered considerably at
.Meiogne, where they were vigorously
repulsed. The 17th, and the grena
diers of the 25th diftinguillied them
selves in a particular manner.—Observ
ing that the enemy were endeavouring
to turn me, I determined to advance
to the line of Borgetto. During this
time general Zablonoufki completely
beat the division of the enemy, which
was debouching by Tanaro, and had
already arrived at Pieva.—He took
from them 500 prisoners.
On the 19th, having received orders
from Gen.Malfena to attack the army,
I marched on the 20th. The troops
took by assault and the bayonet the
tower and redoubt of Melogno, with
qooprifoners, 12 of whom were officers.
The chief of the battalion of Vedal, be
longing to the 34th demi-brigade, was
the frit who ruffied into the entrench
ments. The colonel of the Austrian re
giment of Orange was killed.
The numerous redoubts of Settepani
were taken on the 21st. Gen. Compere,
with a part of the 7th light infantry,
the grenadiers of the 34th, & loth, fa
voured by a very thick fog surrounded
the enemy, and took 1200 prisoners of
the regiment of Hoff and of the Prince
of Orange, among whom are a major
and two lieutenant-colonels. One stan
dard only fell into our hands, the rest
having been concealed among the rocks.
My loss in these different affairs does
not exceed 120 wounded &30 killed !! !
The loss of the enemy, independently
of the prisoners, has been much greater.

enemy on Cadiburna and Montenotte,
in order that he might be able to fend
to the fort of Savona what was neces
sary for its defence, and to effect his re
treat to Genoa ; for at the commence
ment of the day he could easily per
ceive that the enemy had such a supe
riority of forces, that he could not
hope to overcome them. He threw a
garrison of 700 men into the fort of
Savona; and in the evening, effeded his
retreat to Albiffola. The fame day
general Miollis was attacked 011 the
Riviere de Levante, he was at firft o

are General Baron d'Afpre.

ON Thursday last, about 6 o'clock
in the afternoon, the U. States
frigate Chesapeake, Samuel Barron,
T.fq. commander, dropped down from
Gofport to Lambert's Point, where
she anchored,—She got under weigh
at Gofport expeditiously, tho' but with
few hands on board. As her fails
filled, a band of music on the quarter
deck, played the President's march, and
at other intervals enlivened the scene
by. their performance. As she palled
the (hipping that lay in the harbor she
fired a salute of 13 guns, which was
hahdfomely returned by every vessel
that mounted a gun ; and it was gra
tifying to observe the (hips of foreign
nations, with equal zeal exert them
selves on the occasion. The wharves
and houses next the river were lined
with people, who with three cheers
welcomed her as she passed the town
point ; indeed, from the expreflion and
joy, and the smiles which gladdened
every countenance, the, fcene' appeared
as it was—an interesting one. At fort
Norfolk, another salute of 13 guns was
fired from her, which was returned by
the fort. The troops under the com
mand of captain Bruff, were turned
out, and dilplayed themselves whilst
she glided before them. Thus from
the Chesapeake, the navy of the United
States receive no small addition of
strength.

A private letter from Paris mentions,
that on the advice ofour envoys being
on their way thither, the owners of pri
vateers became so much intimidated
by the profped of a reversal of the sen
tences of condemnation of American
vessels, as to be induced to agree to
compromises. The writer had expedi
tions of obtaining compromises in some
cases in which b was interested, and
recommends the measure to others, as
he entertained the opinion that those
who had legal recourse to the priva
teerfman would generally find that the
property would be either dissipated or

The Circuit Court of the United
States for the diftria of Virginia, com
menced its session Friday lad at the ca

presented by the Grand Jury as the au
thor of a certain falfe and libellous
publication, entitled “ Tie Prefect
Before Us ;" which Was deemed high
ly calculated to produce serious conse
quences ; tending to impregnate the
minds of the people with jealousy and
hatred towards the President and Gov
ernment of the United States. A true
bill being found against him, the court
consequently issued a warrant to arrest
the -said J. T. Callender, and bring
him before the court to hand his trial.

In addition to fa millions of livres

in an extraordinary loan of ten or twelve
millions. This request has caufel a de

of the latter place ; having so often ex

feel disposed to contribute any thing
towards another. "The million quitted
