off the embargo on the Englilh, and to
disarm his flotilla.
Cuxhaven, april 22. The death of Paul
/ and the Copenhagen affair, have caused
a suspension of the march ofthe Prussian
troops; and the contra Hors on the Elbe
and Wefer, in the Electorate, have re
ceived orders to make no putchafes for
the Prussian troops, which, but for the
events above mentioned, would have
now occupied all the territory of the ft
ledorate, except the cities of Hanover,
Halle, and Gettingen. The Prussian
troops are positively counter-ordered.
DEATHof Paul I. of Ruffa.
Paul I. Emperor of Russia, died on the
night of the 23d of March. His son the
Grand Duke Alexander, was imrnedi:
ately proclaimed Emperor. Alexander
I. is about 24 years of age, of fine stat
ure and commanding afped ; of a mild
disposition, and very partial to Great B.
A Berlin paragraph fays, " The Empe
ror's death was sudden. On the 23d at
dinner he seemed uncommonly jovial,
and continued so all the afternoon. He
retired to bed at half past nine, and rang
his bell at half past ten, when the Lord
in waiting found him much agitated.—
He enquired for Count Kutufow; who
came a little before eleven, but the mon
arch was beyond recovery."
Hamburgh, April 10. Letters from Pe
terfburgh, dated March 26, give the best
hopes of the pacific disposition of the
new Emperor, Alexander, who has ah
ready created a great revolution in the
sentiments and adions of the Ruffian
merchants.

Copenhagen, April 6. Lord Nelson's proposals
to the Prince Royal, were, ift.That Denmark
fh'uld recede from its alliance with Russia zd.
That he should be permitted to repair his ships in
the Danish docks. ,1. That the wounded on
board the Eoglilh fleet should be taken care of in
the Danilh hospitals. The two fi ft were rejaed,
the latter assented to. Our loss in the late battle
amounts to between i§oo and 2000 men.
On landing, Lord Nelson said, " The French
have fought brawl,, but the, could not have Juftoined
more than one bear the fire the Danes jufained/orfour
boars. I have, in the course of m, life, been in tog
engagements ; but that of to-day was the mpf terrible
of them all."
this country ; and the late viaory in the Baltic,
which terminated the Northern war as fen as it bad
been begun, would be prodvaive of consequences
still more important and beneficial.
In the House of Commons, the Chancellor of
the Exchecquer stated, that Lord Nelson, in the
mi ft of a severe fire, retired to bis cabin, and, re
ferring to the principles which a&uate his Majes
ty% biinifters, wrote a letter to the Prince Royal,
expressing a with to fend a flig of truce on shore ;
remarking, if fuct was denied he should be under
the necessity of ceftroying the floating batteries
and all the vessels in his potfeffion, and should not
be answerable for the lives of the brave men, who
had defended them. The Prince wilhed to know
theobjed of the fl g " Humaniy," was Lord
N^fon's reply ; adding that nothing could give
him more fatisfadion than to renew an amicable
arrangement for harmony and good understand
ing. The flag of truce was agreed to;
, Tefbow the consistency of the editor of a certain
newfpapr, who has been fog in the habit of profeff
ing a high rejped for Constituted Authorities, we
take the following main prop from bit " Cob House"
edifice, pre,nted in bis la, paper, viz. " The Chief
Magistrate of a Nation, who, to gain popularity,
ufesone language in his addresses, and ads anoth
er, who preaches tolerance in politics, and exer
cises the reverse ; is certainly building a cob bonfe.”
He bad before told bis readers that Mr, f+ffirfen was
jucb a Magistrate. For it We give him the Lie !
dodfabmit the dec, on to " all the lovers and friends
of truth," (who can hardl, countenance bis paper, if
the, love truth,) and aft the public, in his own
words, " Whether the, ought to give encouragement to
papers, the Editors of which claim the privilege of I,tag
web impunity ?" The Republican Gezette claims
no such privilege ; and if there is a paper printed
in Concord whose Editor exercises the privilege,
let the " lovers andfriendnf truth" ad consistently.

A writer in the Centinel, (io examining the
northern confederacy for the protection of neutral
rights) fays, Archidamus, King of Sparter, who
perceived the Elians inclining to take part with
the Arcadians, wrote an epistle to them in tbefe
words only, "It is good to be quiet." The modest
Centinel scribbler then adds, " Should Mons. Pi
chon urge Mr. Jefferfon, whofe/rm/j are already
so inclined to tke part in the contest on the fide
of France, we hope he will recoiled that " It is
good to be quiet." Ye supercilious fychophants !
Mr Jefferfon needs none of your advice : The
motto of Americans is, " Peace with the World."
Mr. Adams realized that " It is good to be quiet
and sent Ambassadors of Pesce to France. The
People of America believe " It is good to be quiet ;"
ad they quietly chote Mr. Jefferfon for their Pre
sident. Mr, Jefferfon will convince us that "It
isgrad to be quiet," by hiving as little as possible to
do with those friend!, Federalists who called Mr.
Adams's treaty with France an " old woman trea
ty!" and abuse all who do not love the British
more than the American Government. We with
our amicable British friends would fuffer us to en
joy the blessings of our commerce unmolested by
their piratical cruizers : Then indeed, and when
the tory federal fa&ion cease to fill their newspa
pers with fafhoods and deceptions, then should we
have reason to exclaim, " It is good to be quiet."
fa- Typographical Federal Displays ! !
Certain American Printers are in the habit of
(hosing their hatred of Republicanism and love of
Royalty, by the most contemptible typographical
diftmaions. If the name of any British Lord or
Nobleman, or of any of the friends of Royalifm
and Aristocracy occurs, they display it in Capital
Letters, thus, Mr. PITT, Lord NORTH ; Mr.
ADAMS, General HAMILTON, TIMOTHY
PICKERING, kc, But when the name of a re
publican is used, it appears in (mail italics, thus,
PrefiJent jfrfon, Woodbur, Langdon, Esq &C. &c.
Do these printers think they honor the cause they
espouse, by such pitiful, contemptible, little, low
cunning displays of tom thumb wit ? O, childish
folly ! insignificant ingenuity !

death, will certainly give this country an opportunit, to

Republicanism gains gtoundfaft in New England.
Republican State Re; refentatives were chosen by
large majorities in Boston. A majority of next
Congress will be Republicans. The English in"
the Copenhagen battle had raw (hips to one„of the
Danes. Dishonorable victory to the English.
Mr. Editor-1 HAVE observed that tbe intelligence
,ou gave us feme time pest, that the celebrated New
bampfhire Bank Tax was colleaimg b, force of Ex
tents in feme parts of the state, bar made no jmall fir
among the dry bones in this quarter. The emeries
of the faaion, tbo/e political jugglers, cube bave bee*
so l°*g f*ccoful tn keeping up popular delufon, have
on this occasion exerted all thetr arte to bring (if ,off
ble) the Charader of the Treajurer in queflton ; with
this evident view, to divert the attention of the people
from tbe things which the, well know to be real griev
ances andjufi canfa of complaint. It does not appear
from all tbe publications in jour paper, tbat tbe ability
or integrity of tbe Treafurff-bas experienced ay " vie
attack," and cenjequentl, stand in no need of tbe aid of
a newspaper to fa,port them. His cbaraaer is well
eftabliJbed in Newbampjbire, and I cannot think tbat
be will thank an, '' Courier," or other tale bearer,
who jbould, on this occasion, ran from Concord to Exeter
to wbifper an, little for, into bis ear to tbe contrary.
Therefore all this might, bufle, this conjuration of ap
paritions, this mock thunder, is a merefetch, a mounte
bank trick, to divert tbe people's mends, and prevent
them from examining into certain tranfaaions, which,
if rightly underfoot, would give them much truer na
tions of certain men and tbeir views, than tbe, hitherto
have been able to obtain. Infsad tborefore of investi
gating tbe Treajur, department, which does not appear
at this time to be necefary, and which, by tbe way, is
tbe sole prerogative of tbe General Court, I could wife
tbat " One of the People," who doubtless can have
accejs to tbe proper documents, wouldfairl, invefigate

1. ^b, was tbe NEW BANK (which vias jet up
from neceffi, and mutual convenience, abolijbed by a

2. Wb, were tbe Citizens of this State com,slid to
put their money into tbe Old Bank, and tbe money face
taken from them b, force of Entente ?
3. Wb, was tbe vote of tbe House tbat tbe 12,000
dollars jbeuld not be put into tbe Old Bank, uolefs
upon the express condition, tbat tbe State fauld

4. Is it conditutional, right, or just, tbat a few in

T'E '* ''' Banking Business in Newbampfrirs ?

plain and obvious meaning of tbe Federal Confutation ?

to the support and defence of the Government of
the United States. We challenge the Courier and
every other enemy of Republics nifm, to point out
a fiugle instance in the Republican Gazette of a.
bufe of the officers of the government of the U.
States ;or of this State, or any other State. And
we presume no man can produce a Courier which
does not contain an ample specimen of the virtuous
Hough's vilification of the prefeot administration.
But the President, and all Republicans, they fay,
are wicked creturs ; and G , H b must lie
bbout them, scandalize and abuse them ; and this
malicious abuse he and his parttats finaify, and
call it " defending Religion and Virtue I" But it
can be Federal religion and Federal virtue only,
that require such means of defence : And fiom
the Federal Faith the good people of the United
States have dissented ;—and from this Federal
religion, which reviles our chief authorities, we
pray, " Good Lord deliver us !"
b THE faperftitious veneration which a cer
tain party, and the condudors of certain newspa
pers, affea to hold for the late administration,
somewhat resembles the reverence of the antient
people, who bowed the neck and wolhipped a
Golden CALF—There is this difference, however,
the antients carried gifts and offerings to their
Golden Gods, but our modern worshippers of
Images would have fack'd the Commonwealth,
under the modest plea of Venerating the govern
ment.
