Napoleon Ist. Emperor of the Gauls, is acting
the most important harts in the usurpation, in the
distribution of honors among those honest men who
have given him a crown.—His brother Lucian and
Jerome have not been created Princes. It is tho't
theformer does not approve of the Imperial Honors
of his brother ; and Jerome is considered as neglect
ed on account of his marriage. Brother Joseph
and brother Louis have alone the titles of the royal
family— The wicked wits of England have put the
emperor on Stilts,that their shot should not miss him,
nor do they suffer the Empress Josephina to be
in the back ground. Jill the mummery and glitter
of royalty is displayed to dazzle, while all ths sever
ity of tyranny is exercised to secure it. alias ! poor
Gallia ! sick, sick to death, with the " MALADY
OF PERFECTION."
Our former observations on the Continental Pow
ers have been confirmed by late intelligence. The
forces of Russia, Prussia and Austria have been
augmented. The feeling which Russia has discov
ered at the violation cf the rights of Germany
by Buonaparte, evinces a disposition strongly hostile
to France. The Russian Note to the Diet, on the
7th of May, on the subject, has been deferred for
further consideration to the ISth. " The King of
Sweden has transmitted to the Diet a very spirited
Remonstrance, in which he asserts his right to in
terfere for the integrity of the Germanic Consti
tution, as guarantee of the Peace of Westphalia.
The delay thus interposed by the Emperor of Ger
many cannot be received with much surprise by those
who consider the peculiar situation of that Potentate.
In case of a rupture with Fiance, he is of all the
Powers of Europe, the most vulnerable. Two
years of peace have not been sufficient to cicatrize,
much less to cure the wounds inflicted by the late
disastrous war. It is but natural, therefore, that
he should pause to consider what are the means to
be employed, and what the ends to be pursued, by
the new Coalition against France. From ent
ry appearance, however, we are entitled to au
gur that the decision of the Northern Powers will
'hot await the slow deliberations of the German Di
et. It is not impr bablethatihe claim of precedence,
to be made by the new Imperial Jlmbussadors, will
bring the question at once to issue. It may be said
that a war cannot possibly arise from a mere ques
tion of etiquette; but to the sceptics on this occa
sion we shall oppose the authority of that deep and
just thinker, Mr. Selden, " From straws thrown in
to the air," he said, when treating of a similar
topic, " you shall better judge, than by heavier bo
dies, which way the wind fits." In fact, this new
assumption of Buonaparte leaves no alternative to
the neutral powers, but that of implicit submission
on the one hand, or of stern defiance on the other ;I
and every crowned head which gives even an impli
ed sanction to the usurpation of the Corsican, signs
de facto, the death warrant of its own authority."
Capt. Barnard, at New-York from Leghorn,
•which place he left 17th May, informs, that the day
before he sailed all the British subjects in that place
were seized by order of the First Consul, and sent
to the ford where they are confined.

In presenting once more to our political Friends
a list of Gentlemen to represent them in the Con
gress of the United States, we feel a solicitude for
their success, that has never been experienced on a
former occasion. We have a most heartfelt con
viction that it is fully in their power to elect them
to this office by a very handsome majority of the In
dependent Votes of this State, and that, to effect
this object, is only required a fair and manly exer
cise of those privileges which a free country always
give to men of talents and virtue—success depends
therefore on the exercise of these privileges,—
defeat surely attends a different course. Knowing
that we are united by just sentiment and true prin
ciple—animated by the example of that great and
august man, the Patriotic GILMAN ; feeling like
him that we are indeed the disciples of our depart
ed WASHINGTON, let us take the work in hand'
with calmness, and by persevering Industry give this
Ticket an effective support. ^
Common exertions will not answer, we oppose a.
foe ever alert, ever on the wing—our exertions muff
be like theirs. To the work then Fellow Citizens,
To the Work—One entire exertion of your
strength puts down this assuming Virginian Faction,
and gives a successful triumph to old NEW-EN
GLAND PRINCIPLES.

A Schism has arisen among the Democrats in
this town, regarding their candidates tor a seat in
Congress from the county of Rockingham.
The Hol Timothy Walker of Concord and Gen.
Clement Storer of Portsmouth are the candidates
now before the party for acceptance —Without in
vestigating any claims these Gentlemen may have for
distinction we shall content ourselves with a few ob
servations, and leave the party to fight their ignoble
battles.
Although the leading Democrats in this town have
succeeded in gaining many partizans, and even
Warping some men of intelligence in the country to
second their destructive views—yet it is a fact that
IN EACH OTHER THEY HAVE NO CONFIDENCE —
so long as°^ pilg,'pacific, honorable and dignified
administration is to be combatted, they will act in
unison, and the parity of their views shall only be ex
ceeded by the industry with which they are suppor
ted—But the triumph effected, discord will spread
a sable wing, and we may in vain mourn the depar
ture of our tranquility.

Goods ! Cheap Goods !
“NO PUFF." No Take-in!
ON Thursday the 19th inst. the beautiful Ship Pifeata
qua Bridge, commenced the unlading her valuable, rich,
costly and faffiionablc CARGO ! Fashionable, did I fay ?
Yes, this Cargo confits of Fashionables, which will be the
." tippy " for the whole of the present century ! and many
• think much longer ! A few of the top ordinary Goods are
already hoisted out, and most of them disposed of ! !
THIS DAY at ten o'clock we anticipate breaking the bulk
of the richer part of her cargo,—and all those who do not
wi(h that the Goddess of Fortune should " strew her golden
finds on another's floor," must quickly kap into her arms /
—She has taken her quarters for the present, at the new
brick Bookstore in Daniel street, Portsmouth, where she
expects to tarry & dispense her favors about ten days, and
will wait on the Gentlemen and Ladies of this town, until
the beginning of next week, after which, she anticipates so
I many applicants from the country, that her time must be
wholly devoted to them, as she experts her fame has extend
!ed many miles into the interior of this state, as she difpatch
ied one of her favorites on Tuefday last, about 20 miles into
I the Country, with a pretty valuable bale of her fourth qual
j icy goods, worth 500 dollars ; which, she is plcafed to hear,
,gives great facisfaftion indeed ? but her richest and fineft
I being flowed nearly in the centre, and not having as yet
ibeen come-at-able, she thinks if the former gave such fatis
fadion, those now to be hoisted out must afford the most
exquisite gratification. And as delays are dangerous in a
twofold sense, Those who wiffi to obtain a permit, must
loose no time in applying as above, as force of the most val
uable bales may come up next ; and the Goddess affcres Ad
venturers she has many, very many rich favors in llorc, to
be bestowed on such of her votaries as are in time.

Their Tickets purchas'd of C. P.
