The Republican ledger — Portsmouth, N.H., 1801-05-19 00:00:00, page 3

From Philad. May ~
A caucus cbriipofed of the heads of department
and several of the leading partizans ot the pre
sent administration, was aflembled at Washington
the beginning of the present week. Measures of
much pith and moment, it is fai<l wete reVolved
on ; but ot these we possess no information that
can enable us at present to speak with certainty.
As a^meafure consequent upon the reduction of
our naval establishment, we hear that the war and
navy departments will hereafter be united, under
the direction of the officer at the head of the de
part uent of War. Since the resignation of Mr.
Stoddart, the Naval department has been under
the official direction of Gen. Dearborne, with
Mr. S. Smith of Baltimore, as an occasional ad.
vifer. Fed. pup.
Mr. Gallatin will take upon him the charge of
the National Treasury in a few days.
From Wafoington, May 6.
We are informed, that the Whole Kt prefentatives
of Virginia in the ensuing Congress, chosen at the
late election are Republican. This exhibits the
decisive triumph of republican principles ; as in
the Lift Congress that State had Seven federal
members.

From a New- York paper.
A view of the increase of Republicans in the city
'and county of New-York, from May %, 1799,10
May t, 1801, viz.
May 1, 1799. Federal majority 900
1801, Republican majority 1500
Increase 2400
which is 1200 per year
100 per month
above 23 per week
near 3 1-3 per day
or one every 7 ho^rs and 18 minutes.
REMARKS.
This equivocal or fpontancous generation of
Democrats is certainly worthy the attention of
Naturalists. It seems by this Statement that one
entire Democrat is produced every 7 hours and
18 minutes, and 3 and one third of another every
24 hours. If we may judge from the present ap
pearance of the election in New-York, we must
conclude that all the corruptible matter has been
made into Aristocrats, and that this wonderful
process has ceased, for want of more sense and less
obstinacy.
The following is a lift of American vessels which
were feut into Guadaloupe, before the conclusion
of the late treaty with France was known, were
released by order of the Agents of the Govern
ment, between the iith Nivofe and Bth Piuviofe

from France:
The Virago of New-York.

Extraft of a letter from Samuel D. Earle, super
cargo of the Sophia, to his owner in Philadelphia
dated Kingflon, fam. April 11, 1801.
" I wrote you last by Capt. Talbot, late com
mander of your brig Sophia, who left your port
on the 20th ult. for Norfolk, and who, no doubt,
will have arrived long before this reaches you. 1
have nothing new to mention, except that the
Court has just adjourned. My trial was not bro't
on, but will be the next court.—Out of ten Ame
ricans tried this session, nine were condemned, the
one cleared, was on account of her having been
acquitted a few months before at the Court in
Curracoa. My attorney gives me but little en
couragement, he fays that after this the judge will
condemn anything. In fhortthey have condemn
ed vessels here for the most frivolous causes, some
for running away from his Majesty's Ships, some
for being in liglß of Hifpauiola, and others for
having valuable cargoes. , „
" All property cleared atthis court, is padeal
ed for by the agents for the captors and they re
fufe the most undoubted Security, in order that
they may keep the property in their own hands,
(private adventure not excepted.) The court
will again fit on the last Monday in this month,
(fay 27th) —My attorney tells me the Sophia will
be the firft on the lift of trials ; arid I Shall conti
nue in hopes till then of receiving the vouchers I
have wrote you for."
Extraa of a letter from Hamburgh, dated iyth
March, to a merchant in Philadelphia.
" We have the fatisfaaion to inform you that
peace is at length concluded between the Emper
or of Germany and the French. What may be the
termination of the present dispute between Russia,
Sweden, Denmark and England, we are at a loss
to know. Should a declaration of war take place
~ all neutrality will be at an end except the Ameri
can and Hamburgh Flags.—This wiH be advanta
geous to your commerce. It is, however, our Sin
cere wifih that a peace may be the result of all these
tumults, and that trade may once more flow in
its old channel."
On Saturday hft arrived at Boston, the brig
Betsey, Cipt. luott, in 37 days from Dublin. On
her passage She fell in with three frigates andone
Ship of the line (Danish) who took from them all
their newspapers.
A very intelligent gentleman, however, who
came passenger informs, that hostilities had actu
ally commenced between the Northern Confeder
acy and Great Britain ; that fix fail of British
Ships had been funk by the fort of Elfineur ; that
nothing official had been received' from the Egyp
tian expedition under Geo. Abercrombie ; and
that the people &f Ireland were no better recon
ciled to their condition Since the union of the two
S governments than heretofore.
Thirty of the London fleet for Jamaica, Separ
ated from the rest ; nine wdre captured by the
French, three of which were recaptured : the red
it is supposed put back to Eng.
By a recent arrival at Norfolk from England, I
we are informed, that the British frigate Topaz,
on her way to the W. Indies with dispatches, was
run foul of by a heavier Hup in the channel and
immediately funk. It is said every foul on board
perifhed.'
By an arrival from the Weft Indies at Norfolk
we are informed that the Island of St. Enflatins
was captured by the British about the 20th March.
Accounts from Hamburgh dated 26th March,
State that the inhabitants of that city were ex
tremely alarmed at the probable confequeuce%~
with refpeft to themselves, of a rupture between
England and Prussia. The Senate had three ex
traordinary fittings in the course of a few days,
but it was not known whether they had come to
any refutation on the subject of dangers which
threaten their commerce on the one hand, and
their independence on the other.

DIED] —At Greenland, the 12th inst. Mrs. Sa
rah Lang, aged 96 years. She was the mother
of 10 children, five of whom survive her; 62 of
the third ; 135 of the fourth, and 5 of the fifth
generation. Besides her longevity, it is remarka
ble, that die retained, in a degree uncommon, the
exercise of her natural faculties?till within a year
past, so that she could repeat psalms and hymns
which had been committed to memory, and give
a circuhiftantial relation of events which had hap
pened in the early period of life ; and could read
the smallest print without the assistance of glasses.
—She is come down to the grave like a shock of
corn fully ripe, and from the constant serious re
gard she (hewed to religion, there is reason to
conclude, that through the mercy of God and me
rits of the Redeemer, she has attained that blessed
world, where the evils which embitter the belt
enjoyments of the present life are unknown, and
in possession of a sublime happiness which shall
have no end.
