We are pleaded to learn that Inoculation for
the Kine Pox is becoming so general that it bids
fair to exterminate that terrine disease the Small-?
Pox. Since its. firt introduction into this town
by Dr. Spaulding, the 30:11 September, he has
inoculated about 50 persons, and numbers are
<bily applying—^ndwe expert that all, who have
not had the Small Pox, will embrace the present
opportunity.
We prophesy that even the name of Small-Pox
will not be heard among the nations of the earth,
nor scarcely will it be believed that such a terrible
disease ever exited among mankind.—Then will
the Kine-Pox, like the Indian Tomax, lie buried
deep—and the cUmut of peace and rejoicing be
forked thr^nghout the earth.
The Kine-Pox, being of no further use, than a
life and easy means of exterminating the Small
Pox' from the earth, an z.a greatly desired by the
philanthropbift. r . ~

J/ POLITICAL.
Tt is said, perhaps', with a view of injuring Mr.
Jefferfon's election, that ha is opposed to a naval
armament.in America, for the protection of our
commerce. After hearing his arguments on the
fubjelt, I think no one dill deny the justness of
his deeifion;
1 State of the commercial intercourse between
the United States of America and foreign nations,
written in June, 1792, by Thomas Jefferfon, Esq.
Secretary of State : “ O>r navigation involves
Sill higher considerations ; as a branch of induf
try,it is valuable, but as 3 resource, essential. In
times of general peace, it multiplies competitors
for employment in tranfoortatiop, and so keeps
that, a, its proper level : and in times of war,
that is to fay, when those nations who mav be
pur principal carriers, (hall be at War with each
other, if we have not within ourfehes the means
of transportation, our produce mull be exported
ip belligerent .vessels at the increased expense of
^r.JreighL pnd..tofurance rand the articles
Tiiich will not bear that, muff perifb on our
hands. But it is a resource for defence, that our
navigation-will admit neither neglect norforbear
ance. The position and rirtumitances of the U
nited States, leave them nothing to fear on their
land board, and nothing to desire beyond their
present tigots: But eq their sea board, they are
open to injury; and they have there too, a com
merce, which mutt be protefied: This can only
tie, done by possessing a refpeltable body of citi
ten feamert and of artists and edabldhments for
ffiip-building." Again, speaking of Commerce :—
"The carriage of our own commodities, if once
cftablifhed in another 'channel, 'Cannot be resumed
in the moment we toay delire. If we lose the
feamen, and articles whom it now occupies, we
may lose the present means of marine defence, and
time will be requisite to raise up others, when
disgrace, or losses, malt bring home to our feelings
the error of having abandoned them. The ma
terials for maintaining our due (hare of naviga
tion, are ours in abundance,; and as to the mode
of using them, we have only toadopt the princi
ples of those who thus put us on the defen
tive,” &c. \
These sentiments are r pubHfhed to contradict
the report of persons, which, if not intended by
them to injure Mr. Jefferfon, mull in the end have
that effect. [Gemta of Liberty.

Wh^t real American out will heartily applaud
and commend the manly spirit of the Daniurgov
ernment, and the heroic bravery of the Danilh
captain, Krabbe, in protesting their commerce,
and defending the (hips under his convoy against
four times his force. The London account under
Aagud gift, dates that the Danilh minister de
elated that even unaided by Raffia and Sweden,
he would appose thg growing, tyranny of the British
flag- Such?a declaration \yas hon,raole to the
mioMbrof an independent Nation. When Mr.
Jay went tp England, America held a more pow
er+tfl freappri in her hand", than even the Danes In
in their navy, a,rade ipraenje advantage and real
profit so Great Britain. -That was the itrang arm
that dtight to have fettled the wicked fpolia Lions
committed on us by England, and inflead of fend- :
ing Ms. Jay to make a.tfeaty with them, if Mr;
Washington' had tpld tWe king in the language of
the danilh Minister, That America would, single
and alone, ^ppofe the growing tyranny of the Britfh
flag, their frying would have ceased, and we
should have saved our money and credit—fail it is
teot ffltoo ldte to do goods [Bpfl.Tel.
It would beamnfing to a person who is no .wife
int frefted in the approaching prefidentiaifeleCtion
to read the different albuments which are used a
gainst Mri Jefferfon by nis opponents. In the
foutb, he is accused of a delign to procure the abo
litlo# of llavery. In the north, he is laid to have
contemplated the banishment of the negroes to
some irihofpkable region, where they would all
be murdered—df dealing in them—of now hold-'
ire them as fl^vetand lately, of having entered
with them info a conspiracy against their matters.
In the east, among the pious iHnminati,he is re
probated-both as a drift and atheist ;. and charged
with fnpporting an aged minister, and attending
tag divine service, from finjfter natives- There
1 is nd doubt but that be will Toon be accused of be
irig achriftian, or whit is perhaps Gift worse, of
being an honeftman, a crime which some people
91 Inever forgive, ; ENI. es the Timet.
is daily exemplified ! an Epifcdpal clergyman re
fufedto perform the funeral service over the re
mains of the late Rev, Mr. Ogden, who died on
, the 26th ult. at. Cheiterton, Maryland. To the
honor and credit of the Methodists a clergyman
of that Church performed this last aft of piety
and humanity, and committed to the silence of the
grave, a man whole life had been rendered a
course of unremitting perfecutiontdiftre ft, impir
fonment—and poverty, and against whole private
or public life one great fin alone was fufficient to
draw down the wrath of abused power and the
excommunication of the church—that fin, that
abomination was, the fin of avowing Democracy
under a democratical government! [Aurora.
The followihg is a hit of the gentlemen who
have declined being ebniidered as candidates for

66 We were boarded off the Caycos* by his Bri
tannic Maje/ty's sloop of War the Tyfiphone,
commanded by Capt. Davies, who put on board
us 12 French palTengers, taken from the Ameri
can brig Amazon, lent in here on fiifpiciou.—He
likewise sent about 2olb of beef and pork, and 50
weight of bread for their fubliftance.—Wiien u e
arrived at ' Port Royal, the Ship was flopped and
detained 24 hours On account of said pallengers ;
they not permitting us to go to town, although
we had Cipt. Davies' proteftion for the paffeu

million in writing, mentioning the Frenchmen as
prisoners of war, with direction to deliver them
over to the Commissary of prisoners ; who, when
we had got to town, would not receive them, but
told us not to land them on our peril ; and nould
allow us nothing for their fubliftence; We then
applieQo the Governor, and every other officer
who had any thing to do with prisoners or French
paffeogers, but none of them would take cogniz

At length the Governor wrote us a billet, allow
ing us a half permission to land them on condition
of their immediately taking passages to America,

landed them, but are not without some fear of
incurring the penalty, which is £*<u> for each

Capt. John Mariner, of the Tom Butler, of Phi-,
ladelphia, on the nth of June, being off Curracoa
about three leagues, was brought too by a vessel
under French colours, which sent her boat on
board, and carried the Captain, aud several hands
on. board the cruiser, which proved to. be the
General Simcoe, British armed (hip, commanded
by Capt. Duval. They left on board Capt. Mar
iner's vessel, the firft and second mate,, and several
of the Euglifh (hip's hands, uho immediately com
menced a pillage of the American vessel. The
holes and cabins, packages, chells, aud prirtite
. trunks of the Captain and fopercargo, were brok
en open and pillaged, even of the molt trifling ne
ceffaries# This was done in fight of Capt. Mari
ner and he rempnftrated, observing, that it was e
nough to rob them of their ship, and not to take
their clothing. The fapqr,rgo remonstrated m.
-the fame way, but the prize-mader, Who was the
chief officer of the Britifli pirate, took up a broom
stick, and beat several of the American seamen
(who asked for their clothes) most unmercifully ;
and taking Capt. Mariner insolently by the (bould
er, ordered him immediately into the boat, or he
Should be served so likewise. They remained on
board the pirate, prisoners to the 12th. From an
old gentleman, also prisoner on board, Captain
Mariner learned, that this Britifa pirate, took ev
ery neutral that come in hi, way, Danes, as well
as Americans ; that they had a few days before ta
ken* prize monging to the United States fch.l
Experiment. On the 43th. June, Capt. Mariner
