Tn Brattleborough, on the evening of the 23d
tilr. Eliza Thomas, aged 24, daughter ot Mr. John
Thomas, of this place, threw herfelf into Weft
bner, and was drowned. The body after a long
search was found in the river, on the 27'h> about
20 rods above the lull-bridge, near the mouth ot
the river.
The following is the verdict of the Jury of In
quest :
The Jury, fivorn and charged to inquire for the
State, when, low, and by what means, Eliza
Thomas came to her death —upon their oath do
fay, “ T^at the Jaid Eliza Thomas being driven
into a fate of deliberations Joan the imprudent j
g^idutt of her father and his family towards her,
did voluntarily plunge herfelf into the river, where
flie luas found there to drown herfelf:'
And so the Jurors aforefaid, upon their oaths
aforefaid, do fay, “ That the said Eliza Thomas,in
manner and form afoielaid, then and there, volun
tarily and jeloniafy, as a felon q herfelf, did kill ;
end murder herJelf againtt the peace and dignity of
the State of Termont.”
As in pt r'nance of the fiatute, this Verdiß
with a written ftateroent of the evidence adduc
ed to the Jury mud be returned to the Hon. Su
preme Court, at their next session in this county
for their consideration, we suspend any remarks
upon tills unhappy tranfattiori, which has much
agitated the good people of this vicinity, and
while a potlibhity of legal prosecution exiffs, we
Think fell observations upon this melancholy event

"TRUE AS THE DIAL TO THE SUN."
~PORTSMOUTH, MH.
TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1803.
The federal printers having exultingly published
an account of col. Lyon carrying off another man's
wife, justice to his character and to truth ought to
induce them to contradict the infamous fabrication
which originated in the circumstance of rhe woman
taking a passage down the Ohio in a boat which
carried the family of col. Lyon.— Bee.
A letter from Liverpool, of the roth March,
Ays, " In addition to Mr. Gafcoyne's letter, we
have a hofi of Information from London, all of
which indicate an inevitable and immediate war."
The following extras is taken from an eminent
Literary journal, now published in London.
American newspapers.
" In America no excise has been laid upon pa.
pers, nor has the damping of newspapers, as yet,
been resorted to in order to raise a governmental
revenue. The eagerness of the American people
for news is insatiable, arid gazettes are published
not only in seaports and large towns,but in almost
every village in the interior parts of the country.
The number of these sheets which iffde from the
refpeclive press s once, twice, thrice and fix times
a week, is incredible. As usual they contain
foreign and domeflic intelligence, ship news and
advert ifements ; but as elections are very frequent
in America, and there takes place a competition
between the rival candidates, the newspapers are
resorted to on fitch occasions to difenfs their
merits and demerits, when all the political quef
tioiw of tlie day are canvassed with wonderful
keenness & acrimony ; calumny, flunder, and the
grofleft abuse are therefore exceedingly abundant
in American newspapers, in which the licentious
nefs of the press is carried to a grater extent than
in any country in the world. The different
parties which divide the politics of the countrv,
attack each other in these publications with unex
ampled asperity and virulence. Venality, corrup
tion, & peculation, are common charges against
public men and the molt reputable characters.
Cunning, duplicity, and every species of de
pravity are ascribed to each party by their oppo
nents—atheifm and deism, philofophifm and illu
miuatifm, are crimes atributed to one party, who
retort upon their adversaries the charges of bigot
ry, superstition, hypocrisy and priestcraft !—To
a foreigner who reads their gazettes, it would
appear, that the rancour and intolerance o' party
polites raged with uncontrollable fury, had fob
verted every idea of decency ami good manners,
and that the fecial state of republican America
was poisoned by the unbridled abufeof the press.
These violent and inflamatory publications not
only indicate the bitter and fnric"^ Spirit of indi
viduals, but muff have a o&ano .pin, effect on
the public mind—they moil I ^ 'in Influence on
The people who read them, and ',tribute in no
final! degree to foment and inc ^ e the unsocial
and malevolent paffons, eugenic r b<Ulity,and
deflroy domeflic tranquility—fc^' gross licen
tiousness disgrace the American character, is Sub
verfive of true liberty, and must, in the end anni
hilate their political existence.
Federal Extravagance.—ln 1800, under
the administration of Mr, Adar;, the receipts
from duties, including the direct tax, was
dolls. 9,000,000
And the expenditures amounted to
the enormous sum of 14,000,000
The deficit being 5,000,000
was borrowed of /peculators and money jobbers
at the rate of 8 per cent interest.
Conuaft this with republican economy—
In 1802, under the admimfiration of Mr.
Jefferfon, the revenue may be estimated,
without a land tax or any excise whatever, at
dolls. 10,000,000
And the whole expences of
the government, including,
the interest on the national
debt, amounted, to only a
bout 5,00,000
Leaving a clearfaxng to the people of 5,000-
000,which is itriaiy and honestly appropria
ted to pay the principle of the debt of the U.
States and the overplus goes into the treasury,
there forms a f^nd, which is solely underthe
direction of Congress. The federalists ran
the nation in debt at the rate of 5,000,000 dol
lars per annum—and the republicans, after
repealing all the internal taxes, and paying
upwards of §,000,000 dollars of the principal
of the national debt have now a full treasury
while the taxes are reduced and the peo
ple happy and contented. These are the
fruits of Mr. Jefferfon's administration.
Sal. Reg.
Our National Treasury is full of Dollars
—the taxes fall lightly on the poor and if the
republicans continue in power, it is probable
these will be still leflened—the people are
happy under the government of the United
States--we have no sedition bill, no Stand
ing army, and no excise. These are the
bleflings which flow from a lepublican ad
minillration ; and Shall wo retufe to give
praise, where it is justly due? The author of
the Declaration of Independence Stands at
the helm—he governs the Ship in the storm,
and will bring her to anchor in fafety—and
while the sea foams and rages, he remains
unshaken, and mids ta thousand dangers
continues the firm friend of his country's free
kun—calumniated by his enemies he replies
not,but is only anxious to promote happiness
of the people. Let the factious tail then ;

Extract of a letter dated Chilecothe, April 2.
" I do rnyfelf the pleasure to inform, that our
legilldture yetferday by a joint ballot of both bou
les, elected Col.F. Wortbin,Jon of this place, and
John Smith, Esq. of the Little Miami, senators of
the U.S. from this Stare, tor fix years. Col.W. is
a found Republican, and deserves all his country
can bellow on him. The other gentleman is of
the fame political principles."
Late accounts from the Mediterranean declare
that no danger need be apprehended of injury to
our cotnmercefrom the Tripolines—noneof their
cruisers having been heard of for a long time.
It is said that accounts have been received from
Cape-Francois, of two regiments of Polandcrs,
who arrived with the French troops, having revol
ted and joined the brigands.
Accounts from Cape-Francois, to the beginning
of April, state the arrival there, on the 26th
March, of fix failfof the line, four frigates, and a
fleet of tranfports,having 10,000 troopson board ;
thegreater part of wbiclnwere to proceed toPort-
Republican. Gen. Caufel, with between 2 and
3000 troops were t. gafrifon the Cape. No re
cent engagement had token place ; and the ne
groes were embodied about 18 miles from the
town.
Mr. John Burkley, who lately left the legacy to
the Humane fociery ot Maffachufets, was not the
American Coirful at Lisbon; but father to Mr.
Thomas Burkley, who was the Consul.—The de

phreys, hire Minifler to Portugal.
