We underhand chat a number of refpeftable gen
tlemen dined u ith his Excellency the Governor on
Monday lalt ; after dinner his Excellency role and
gave the following toast —viz.
The President of the United States.
Concord, July 6.
Yesterday eyas kept by the Citizens ot this town,
as a day of Joy and Feffivity, in commemoration
of the bleffmgs derived from the Declaration of In
dependence on the 4th of July 1776. At twelve
o'clock, they moved in procession toihe meeting
house, where the Rev. Mr. M'Furland read the De
claration of Independence, adarefled the throne of
the Divine Ruler of the deffinies of Nations in
a pertinent prayer, and closed by reading Wash
INGTon's Farewel Address to the People of the U.
States. The procdliun then moved to George's
H di, where upwards of ninety citizens partook of
an excellent dinner, and joined in drinking a num
ber of patriotic toasts, from which we select the
tollowing :
Public Economy—May it never be forgotten
that .this is the Main Pillr of our Independence.
The Fifty-Five Patriots who tigned the Declara
tion ot independence, and tor its hipport pledged
to each other their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred Honor.
JOHN LANGDON-and his Brother Patriots of
New Hampshire in the Revolution—Ma, their Dr
vices for their country buremembered with grati
tude.
This toast was accompanied with a difeharge
of artillery and 3 cheers.
By this lucky discovery perhaps thousands
of lives were favetl, for even the militit
Wight be partly off their guard on that dry
There can be 110 doubt but that our ports will
be continued opeh all the year. Interfiled per
sous frequently report in America that these poi ts
are shut, by which means we are deprived of the
ufoal trade of the Americans.
We would recommend ail Americans who
would wish to trade not to flhip horses or moles as
there is a heavy duty on the horses, and no use for
the mules: all the fall provisions should beinfped
ed and branded, or it w 11 not fell weH.
Considerable quantities of American salt provi
sions (not infpehted or branded) has been brought
in here Come time since which was of a molt Scan
dalous quality. New York', Burlington and Bos
ton Poik always fells at good prices, Beef is sel
dom in demand.s
It is aflonifhing what number of (hips, brigsand
other vessels pass daily in light of these islands since
the peace—a proof of the increase of commerce."
Letters received in town from St. Domingo da
ted the 15 June mention the death ot Benezech,
Prefect of that colony. He fell a victim to the fe
ver.
London, May 17—Yesterday we received
French Journals bf the 12th and 13th inst. It ap
pears from these, that the decree proposing Bona
parte Chief Coilful for life, had been readily adop
ted by the Councils, and means were taking tor ob
tain the fente of the People upon it, which there
can be doubt, will be equally favorable to the am
bitious wiflies of the Chief Consul. As weremar
ked 011 Saturday, but one flep m?re remains to be
taksn, which is, to fettle a new Drniily in the fa
mily of Bonaparte. All the privatesccounts from
the French capital certainly concur in dating; that
a florin is gathering which mult perhaps very
speedily burft.'
An Order of Council, it is said, has actually been
given, for probioitating the importation any arti
cle offteneh growth or m^uuiadure, except such
as have already been ordered and (hipped for this
country. This order is in consequence of a pro
hibition of the French Government of Englilh
' manufoftures, and We have little doubt will lead
to some commercial arrangements which may be
beneficial to this country.
It is reported that a friend has lately paid all
Mr. Pitt's debts, amounting to about 30,000.
Whether this friend be I,ord Carrington or lord
Baidport we have not heard but the action, is a
very noble one.
WEST I^DIA NEWS !
Bv the fl iop Ruth and Marv, the Editors
of The New York Gazette received the
fubfquent articles from their correspon

" Bermuda, %^ 26. By the Pene
lope, from Martinique, we learn that the
Saints are given up to the French forces :
and that Martinique is to be given up on
the 25th or 27th of Jul, next ; for which
purpole a large fleet is already arrived there
to take off the troops. A number of the
French reticlents at Martinique are flying to
Trinidada to make settlements at that Isl
and. Six Biitifh fail of the line were lying
at Martinique a few days ago.
By this vellel we also learn, that a muti
ny and afftflination had nearly taken place
at Martinique on the 4th instant. The ne
groes had all been apprized of the intention
a few days before by hand bills? but on the
evening of the 3d of June, two negroes
went into an Irishman's grog (hop where
they were disagreeing, on which the Irish
man gave one of them a blow on the heart
with his hit, which knocked off his.ha
which contained one of the bills : he was
immediately secured, with about 40 others,
and the bill sent to the governor, who im
mediately iffiied orders through the iflano
for every person to be under arms. Theii
intention was 10 murder every white on the
island. The bufintfs was planned at Goa
daloupe by the negroes, the ringleader o:
whom was apprehended at Martinique ant
sent back to Guadaloupe in irons, with a
request that he be tried there and executed ;
or a retaliation was threatened.

KINE POX.
Satisfaction to the unfatisfied.
On Friday the 2d inti. I inoculated maftersCharles
and Robert Y^ton, George Mment, Peter M.
Lond md John Rinaldi (all of Portsmouth) with
trefh Small Pox matter, from Mr. Jickfon Weft,
who was labouring under a full crop of pustules
by c Inal infection, at the Hospital in this harbour
— I hefe young mailers having previo;ifly had the
Kne Pox under my direction, I felt no anxiety as
to the issue.
They were repeatedly inoculated in both arms
and took rnoeh pains to be in company with Mr.
Well that the 0 jest sf the experiment should be
faisfactory. On the third day after inoculation
the punctured points were inflamed and swollen in
the lame manner as from fuccefslul inoculation
with the Small Pox. On the sixth a red tumid
efflor efcence f grounded the punctures, as large as
a cent ; this effect upon the arms was all that the
Small Pox po,fon was cap ble of producing 011
them ; not in the lead effecting the fyttem. The
eighth day the inflamatiou and (welling subsided,
leaving a small scab which soon fell off.
They remained in the Hospital ten days, during
which time they were in perlett health, not having
the lead sy mptom or appearance of the Small Pox.
It is now the twelfth day (ince they have been
exposed to the Small Pox, and if they could have
caught it, by this time they would have been ef
fected.„
This second experiment of mine I hold ample
proof and (efficient testimony that the KINE pox
is a sure and effectual preventive of the small
pox, either by inoculation or casual intention.

by me tor the Kine Pox, June 1801, fiuce which he
has been repeatedly inoculated lor the Small Pox

were several hundreds infested with the Sm ill Pox

HAVANA.
The inhabitants ot the Havana, it is said, com
plain loudly against the Government of Cuba for
excluding American vessels. The price ot living
being thereby rendered enormously high ; flour
from 30 to 40 dollars pr. barrel. It is certain!,
an inexplicable policy, to tax their own people
excessively to abridge the American tradea little.
A (hip from Baltimore, belonging to Mr. Gray,
of Salem, arrived at Havana, with 3000 barrels of
flour —The Captain offered the Intern ant 1000
barrels ot it to permit him to enter—it was agreed
to—and on the eve of entering, it came to the
knowledge of the Governor^who ordered the (hip
away — The next day, the Intendent ordered her
to remain in the harbour—Thus die was tituated
when our informant tailed—and it was doubtful
whether the Governor or Intendant would fuc
ceed. The Intendant, it is said, has long been in
the habit cf receiving solid inducements to permit
American vessels to enter—The Governor, per
haps more honest has endeavoured to put a flop to
it—And thus he is at loggerheads with the Inten
dant, and all the officers of the Cullom House.

At the N. W. Coast of America, on the i6tli
Sept. ißor, Cap . Bernard Magee, who fell a vic
tim to the malicious and undiscriminating ven
geance of the qatives. They covered their horrid
purpose, by Signs of the greatelf friendship. For
this conduct, they had an example in afts of cru
elty, committed by the crews of some American
vessels, but a short time previous to this unhappy
affair ; which, considering the superior intelligence
of our countrymen, cannot but be viewed asex
tremely reprehensible. This event fliould learn
our merchants not to entrust their property and
the lives of our citizens, to persons who can wan
tonly sport with Cavages, because there is no hu
man laws to restrain them ; and thereby endanger
the lives of those who are more difereet, and de^i
on fair, honorable principles. On this occafioi;
the (hip was in the molt imminent danger of being
cut off; for thby received several volleys ot musk
try from the shore, wl^fb killed one man and
wounded another. The cabin boy also fell afa
critice to their barbarity. . _
