LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The Packet, Capt, Trott, arrived yesterday,
from London. Our files of London papers by her
are down to the 25th July—ten days latest.
Tbe'most, prominent news in them,is the increased
prospect of speedy WAR between Russia and France
ahe event appeared almost inevitable,f any reliance
can be placed on European appearances.—The for
taer was making great preparations for hostilites in|
the Baltic fcthe Black seas.—The Emperor Alex-j
-ANDER had refused to acknowledge the Emperor
Napolean ; and had lately been very lavish of
his favors on Louis XVIII. and his encouragement
to the French loyalists.—Nor does the Emperor Na
polean appear very solicitous to allay the resent
ment of his Brother. In one of the last Moniteurs
he makes Talltrand repeat, what he had directed
Gen. HeDOU VILLE, his ambassador say, on quitting;
Petersburgh —" The emperor of France does not
wish for soar with any one ; neither does he dread it
with any one ! Along peace is his wish; but the his
tory of his life affords no room to imagine that he is
of a temper to allow himself to be insulted or dic
tated to." This appears to be the language of defi
ance— It was said Sweden would unite with Russia
in the war.—The British government had recalled;
its ambassador from St. Petersburgh ; and sent out
Lord Gower with new powers.
In France excepting the bustle of invasion, little
were to be seen, but the splendid preparations for
the Coronation of the Ertiperor ; which is to be on
the9th oiNovember next-More than nine tenths of
-, the votest ~en to France ware in favor of the raher
ft. c /the Imperial dignity in the family of Napo-
LE- vapartE. All the powers of Europe
excel Russia Great Britian and Sweden, had
:;ed Juornz^arte Emperor of the French.
:noi-gun war on the coast of France, was kept
up . unceasingly.—The British squadrons dri
ve.. hr? the coast by the weather one day, resume
their stations on the next. No real movements had
been made from Brest. Admiral Cornwallis had
resigned the command of the channel fleet. It may
excite a smile in most of our readers, when we re
peat that at the last dates July 25th the Brstish gov
ernment expected that the invasion would be hour
ly attempted !
Mr. Pitt's popularity was on the rise—and the
British King remained in good health.—On the 31st
July he was to prorogue his Parliament in person.
SALEM, SEPT. 4, 1804.
Yesterday the Hon. Mr. King, late minister of
the United States to the Court of St. Jame's madea
visit to this town, and dined at General Derby's,
in company with a number of respectable public and
private characters.
Newburyport Aug. 24.—
On Friday last Mr. Phineas Burrill, of Newbury,
went into the river to bathe ; he venturing
too far, was unfortunately drowned—the body not
having been found till after 9 hour^ search, no at
tempts were made to resuscitate it.—He was a
promising young man, aged 21.
KEENE, SEPT. 1, 1804.
His Excellency Gov. Gilman arrived in this town
on Tuesday evening last, with his family, on his re
turn from Commencement. He was escorted the
next morning to Marlborough, by a detachment of
cavalry completely equipped, under Capt. Door, and
a respectable cavalcade of citizens.
To retrieve our consequence we are told we must
abdicate our ftrinciftlee; that our weight,to be felt,
must be thrown into a scale which is much too hea
vy without it ; —and that our only chance for future
influence consists in silent acquiescence, or false hear
ted applause, by which we may acquire the influence
of Mutes and Parisites ; such as the republics of
Europe, which have submited to the guidance of
mock-patriots, possess over the councils of the Em
peror of the Gauls. But until the catastrophe of our
degradation be completed, until all the honest pride
of New-England, and all the recollection of what she
did and suffered in the common cause be effaced ;
a hope will remain of regaining our equal rights,
without an entire subjugation of the Northern States.

Quiet solitude, pleasant fields, serene weather, pur
ling streams, and tranquility of mind, seems, to bb
absolutely essential to the poet, without which he
could scarcely accomplish any work of permanent
lustre. Yet nothing is better know in the annals of
literature, than that may immortal works have been
composed in sickness, in sorrow, in decrepitude, in
chains, and in a prison. Such is the elasticity of the
soul that, oftentimes when apparently bowed down
to the earth, it will rise with a bound to heaven. In
a state of utter blindness, rera found Paradise
Lost, and in a state of mournful uistraction, Cowper
translated Homer. Pot Folio.
PRINTERS ON THEIR OWN AFFAIRS
The first day of July completed the third year o
the publication of the Oracle by the present Pro
prietors. .•
The continually increasing patronage the paper
has received, demands their sincere acknowledge
ments —Those Gentlemen who have honored their
Bills at sight, are particularly thanked. It is
through them the Printers have been enabled to
grapple with a very heavy purchase and support a
very expensive establishment.
Those who are in arrears two years, are earnest
ly requested to settle their little accounts—to them
the sum is small indeed, but collected into the busi
ness at this time,' would be very seasonable, as we
have latelypresented the Paper on a new Type, and
every way improved its appearance, and enhanced
its value —Those who are indebted for THREE
YEARS, for there are still some in this class, are
once more and for the last time called on to set
tle their accounts Their bills amount to $4 —50
and in some instances where postage has been paid,
to ss—so. —They must be sensible it is time the bu
siness was attended to, and that it is unreasonable
to withhold the payment longer.—On them we here
make a call, which we flatter ourselves will be ef
fectual because it will be unjust to neglect it.
The Printers return their Thanks.

THE Subscribers having observed

have invented an improvement to remedy thole in
conveniences. Being equally applicable to com
mon Bedsteads, with lacking Bottoms, as to more
costly ones, they persuade themfelvts it will meet
with general approbation. It would exceed the

ferring the ftrufturpnd advantages It may fuf
tice to fay, the Bedtlead is firmly 'fastened at
the corners, without the troublesome operofe con
trivance and use of screws. It may be easily put
up by one person, and little more time is required
for taking it down by one person, than would be
necessary for putting upand taking down the leaves
of a Dining Table. These advantages are obvious
in an article which requires frequent examination
and is frequently removed, butthe special advan-.

FROM SPAIN.
An interesting letter from Madrid respecting the
misunderstanding between the United States and
Spain, will be found under the Norfolk head. Se
rious differences appear to exist. The following
letter from an American Captain at Cadiz, dated
July 18, furnishes further information on the subject :
“ There is at present a great coolness between
the King and M. Pinckney ; the former has refu
sed the demands made by the United States, and
has also refused Mr. Pinckney his passports to leave
,1m country. This has very much alarmed the mer
chants here, insomuch that those who have Ameri
can vessels consigned to them,are hurrying them a
way as fast as possible, lest something serious should
t ake place."

' I take up my pen to inform you, such is the state
tilings between the two Governments,that there is
more than a probability that a war must insue. In
fact such is the situation of things, that one or the
other governments must recede, & it is on such points
that the American government neither can, and have
declared they never will recede from. Our Minis
ter has called for a final answer on Tuesday, and if
not favourable, means to demand his passports, and
quit the c untry.
" He is in fact making every preparation for his
departure. He intends notifying our Commercial A
gents next week of the state of things, if nothing more
favourable occurs."

Artijical Rheumatic Bathing
or Vapour Machine
AS many of the inhabitants of this metropo
lis and its environs, fuffer greately from rheu
matic and other bone complaints, for the cure
of which many fruitlef, attempts have been re
sorted to, I thought proper to introduce a Rheu
matic Bathing or Vapour Machine, now much in
use in Europe, and flatter myfelf to remove with
a degree of certainty and in a short time, ever,
species of Rheumatism, Lameness and Contract
ednefs ; also, Dropsical symptoms, and those
complaints which orignate from repelled erup
tions, and the mod disorders of the nervous sys
tem.
This Machine, by means of occasioning a
wholesome prefpiration will also extras from the
body, all mercuries in its natural form that may
have been too frequently applied in leveral dis
cases, and which produce pains in the bones and
therefore often taken for Rheumatism, but in
general originate from an imprudent use of Mer
cury. The method of this cure being an eaf,
one for every perlon, and applicable in every
season of the year, I hope to earn the fatisfaction
and confidence of the public. It has a remark
able effeft upon those persons who make use of it,
and it has been tried by men ofthe ftrideft ve
,&) and honor.
The Bathing Machine is open at my lodgings
every day from 9 in the Morning until 7 in the
Evening. Those persons, who wiffi the use of
the Machine, are requested to call an hour be
forehand, in order to converse upon the fubjed
of the complaint, and thereby to regulate and
prepare the Machine.
