there whs no proper head these but Pope Vigilias l
and his Jucceffvrs, tie, as Gibbon relates, haYpur-;
chafed the Papal thro^efy a bribe of two hundred i
pounds of gold—And hi, predecessor had been de
clared, by the EaUevu Emperor, to judge of all
Kiev, and himfelf to be judged by m man ; as Mr.
Mars, quoted by Newton, relates. This head
was of the seven, an individual Ruler, as the
Kings and Emperors had fuccefaely been; but
claiming to rule by spiritual power, was very di
verse ;jo was an eighth head. Under him the
broken Empire affitrned a new form ; Thus an/wer
ed the description, " the beay who was, and is not,
and yet is.":
PROPHECY.
The pou er of this head to reigti and foake war
is limited to 1260 years. Rev. xili. 5.
FULFILMENT.
The power of the Pope to reign and make war,
has lajied 1260 years, and now is no more. If we
rechon its rife from 554, the final defeat of the Go
thicgenerals, then 1260 prophetic years of 360 days
each, ended in 1,96 :* about which time his power
chafed —ls we compute the beginning of the Papal
,aaer, from the taking of Rome by Bellifarius,
Anno, 538, according to Mr. King, referring to
Ptoiopius ; then 1260 common or fulianyears end
in 1796. The very, year, wherein the French en
tered Rome, and drove the Pope into exile. If, as
Gibbon fuppojes, building on the Jeries of events,
rather than that of Pruiopius. 7he taking Rome
was in 536, then the end of the 1260 years if the
Papal power wouldfall but in 1796, as on the for
ner computation.
Is not such a fulfilment of prophecy by won
derful events, which neither men 119! angels could
forefee, a pledge of the approach of events, glori
ous apt! tremendous, predicted as to follow these ;
and that fpfeedily.
* 12.60 years of 360 days, fall short of common
ones, by 18 years.

For.the Republican Ledger.
There are in almost every society, certain rest
less disorganizing characters who fe?m to take
pleasure in Birring up difeord and mifchief; of
this description is an anonymous fcribler in last
Saturday's Oracle, whole aim appears to have
been to call a temporary stigma on the Selectmen
<^<° f tf m outh, '° r '""'^ their warrant for the
choi&of four Representatives to the General
Court hlenying their conllitutional right so to
do.—He asserts " there were no more than one
thonfand and four rateable polls on the Select
men's books the last year," when the truth is,
there were upwards of one thoujaud and ninety- —
a surplus of above forty more than ate necessary
to constitute g^ right of fending four Represent
atives to thqßncral Court; bad he examined
vith any att'emon, he would have found the do
ings of the Selectmen constitutional and right, to
venture on such unqualified affections without en-
Juir^, he inuft have been worse than a blockhead,
tis believed that no examination of the Select
men's books had ever been openly made for the
purpose ot.determining the number of voters, ex
cept by the Selectmen themselves ; it is fufpe&ed
however, that a fort of fcrutmy was clandestinely
made ander coteur ef± different deftgn, which
was rendered erroneous through iMlle and a de
sire to conceal the intention.
It is really matter of regret, that the most infig
nificant part of society have it, sometimes, in their
power to compel the notice of thpfe who molt
heartily despise them—but as it is inseparable
froth the present date of things, it is neceflary
that the evil be patiently submitted to. In ordi
nary cases, the Printer himfelf should be held res
ponsible for falfe anonymous publications, but the
present, admits of some apology. 66 Sins of igno
rance muff be wir ked at."

MESSRS. PRINTERS,
As your paper is read by many in the third Eaflem
Diflritt of the fate of Mafachufetts, you'll oblige
a Cuflomer by inserting the following.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
The time is approaching when yon will again
be called upon to assemble and choofe,a Repre
sentative to Congress, 'tis an important right
which you ought not to neglect ; Republicans be
tip and doing ; although much has been done, Hill
much remains to be done, although the fdn of fed
eralifin has far, and the bright luminary of Re
publicanism has risen, whole effulgent beams irra
diate our Weftern World, yet you, by your vigi
lance, may add a star of the firli magnitude, and
illumine our eastern borders.
Mr. RICHARD CUTTS,
of Pepperellhorotigh, who was handsomely Sup
ported. against the Hon. George Thatcher, in your
last election, will at thib election receive a general
fnpport through she diftrid ; other candidates
may be proposed, and perhaps good men, but no
one 1 presume, can be fixed upon, more suitable
or more deserving your confide nee than Mr.Cutts.
—ls you with for a man of good genius, an able
politician, a (launch republican, a firm friend to
his country, of an amiable deportment, you will
find them molt happily concentrated in him, and
I presume he will receive your warmed support
at the approaching el^ftion, as he is undoubtedly
worthy of your fuffrages.

SCARCITY of MONEY.
CASH hardly ever, was known to be so
scarce as at present—Every one prays that
the New-Hamg/bire Union Bank may be in
corporated— Let no money be locked up, or
prevented by party spirit from a&ive circu
lation. Then shall agriculture and com
merce flourilh, and happiness bless the land.
' [Repub. Gaz.
" It muff ce a fubjett of congratulation to ev
ery friend to our beloved country, to find that
the principles on which our excellent Federal
and State Couftitutions are founded, viz. demo
cratic republican principles, are every day gain
ing ground, and taking peaceable poffeflion —all
the little deceptive arts of federalilm to the con
trary notwithilandiqg.
There appears at prelent to be a perfeft tran
quillity throughout the continent—we hear of no
riots, iirfults, or abuses, ne Handing armies to
pillage and injure the inhabitants, no duty for
Marfballs, under tht Sedition Law, nor any thing,
of Ure kind—but on the contrary we fee the peo-'
ple employed in industry, in perfe& happiness and;
quietness.
Qtere —Does this look like the reign of restless,
ambitious, disorganizing facobinifm ? or does it
more resemble the reign of Republicanism in its
purity? [Chron.
ri-4^,4"
The Grand Jury of Newbury Diftritt, in South
Carolina, have presented as a (object of an alarm
ing nature to the liberties of a free people, the
conduct of the representatives front that date in
Congress, for having voted for Aaron Burr, in
dead of Thomas Jefferfon, for President of the
United States in oppolition to the well known
fentim'ents of an immerife majority of their con-
Hituents; declaring that they therefore hold them
as unfit, forever hereafter to fill any office flowing
front the fuffrages of a free Republican People.
H-A^,-)-
There is no diftinclion so fit for the two
divisions ts perlons, the enemies of the ad
ministration and their friends, as that of
Whig and Tory—we trust that the re
publican prefles through the continent will
revive ^^liftinaion which never Ihould have
been forgotten by Republicans, and which
carries 4n fit iffie.'recollection of old dangers
rand fufferihgs, and the old principles of the
revolution, "and happily appropriate to the
friends and enemies of the Adminiftration
of the Author of the Declaration of Ameri
can Independence. Aurora.

THE VIRTUOUS HAMILTON.
David Frothingham of New York, was indicted
for reprinting a paragraph from the Aurora,
which refleifted upon the fpoQef scharacter of
Hamilton. It is curious enough that the faction
are always reviling Mr. Gallatin, as a foreigner
while their favorite oracle Hamilton,late secretary
to the treasury, is in the literal sense of the word,
a rogue of no nation, and while their own late secre
tary at war, M'Henry, is an Irishman. If the fac
tion were capable of blubbing, they would feel dag
gered at such an impudent inconsistency.
-« <❖>->-
It is not true that the whole representation in
Congress from Virginia is Republican, there is
one, and one only, (viz. Mr. John Stratton,)
among them, elected by a majority of eighteen !
America purchases and ctynfiimes avast quanti
ty of British manufactures ; she exports to Great
Britain at this moment, supplies of the firfl neces
sity : Her colonies in the Well Indies, depend al
most Wholly upon the U. States for Beef, Pork,
Fife, Corn, Flour, Rice, &c. articles they cannot
dispense with : for without these daily supplies,
the inhabitants and their slaves would soon be re
duced to a fuffering condition. What return does
G. Britain make ? She allows, or atleaft permits,
the American merchant vessels to be captured—
(he openly fuffers them to be condemned —And
what conduct does the U.'States pursue to flop
these things ? Answer. The very reverse of that
which Great Britain would purfoe in a similar
fit nation.— Salem Register.
AN 'IMPOSTOR.
A fellow has been about Salem and its vicinity,
for some time past, with a paper, asking charity
and representing that he has been a prisoner in Al
giers, and had his tongue cut out there. He has
the art of managing his tongue in such a* manner
as to give it the appearance of having been cut :
but it has been found that good liquor will restore
it to proper form, and set it to running glibly.
On Saturday he was taken up and committed to
jail, for an examination.; Salem pap.
