Political Miscellany.
From the Newyork Herald.
THE TWO THOMASES.
IT appears that Thomas Paine is display- ing his "useful labors" as a Sub-Editor to Cheetham. In this character, Paine is use- ful in two respects: First by writing the papers signed Samuel Adams, which are substituted for the Editorial columns of non- sense and calumny, daily expected in the Citizen: And secondly, as a democratic test to ascertain the degrees of insolence and wickedness, which can be safely palmed on the Community. While Paine's nose can be kept at or below the degree of summe- heat, Cheetham can leave his office and sport in his gig about Town, soliciting the simple ones to convene and address Mr. Jef- ferson.—But when the caloric principle in- creases so that the nose emits scintillations of Fiery Jacobinism, out comes Cheetham like a moderate man, disavows the publica- tion and leaves the scandal to rest solely on his partner Thomas.
It is a good sign in Cheetham and much to be commended, that he begins to have some regard to character, yet methinks it is not altogether polite to treat Paine, as if he had no character to lose. It ought to be re- membered, that Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, are the Castor and Pollux of De- mocracy, animated by one soul and destined to one Fate. The office filled by Paine, is indeed a necessary one; but Paine ought not to be the scape goat: Surely a miscre- ant of less celebrity, can be found well prac- ticed in committing "The oddest sins, the newest kind of ways," upon whose head the burden of democratic infirmities ought to be laid.
The annexed extract from the Mercantile Advertiser of April, 28, 1803, will show the intimate connexion between Paine and Jefferson and that the latter has declared, ever since he has been President, that Paine's principles are precisely his own principles, and that he hopes, they will be generally recognized in the United States: It is remarkable, that these principles are precisely such as Paine is now advocating and the Jeffersonians are now supporting in this country. It must excite some curiosity, to know what the principles were, which Mr. Jef- ferson thought so important as to require his agency, in causing them to be published in the Newspapers and in a pamphlet.
Of all the rhapsodies engendered by Folly and Knavery, what Paine calls his MAXI- TIME COMPACT was the most extraor- dinary: It seems, that Paine, Bonhomme, Barlow and Skipworth, wrote a Letter to one of the French Directory, inviting that body to promulgate a Code of Maritime Law for the Civilized World, to be prefaced by a de- claration, that France will remain at Peace, while Peace can be maintained on her part by the observance of Justice and the rights of Nations: that the rights of neutrality con- sist in the faculty of navigating all seas, trading to all places, except blockaded ports, carrying all articles without any exception of contraband of War and for all persons, WITH- OUT ANY DISTINCTION OF BELLI- GERENT or NEUTRAL —on account of the immorality of privateering, the practice was to be abolished by France.
Instead of protecting this system by ships it was proposed, by the amicable Paine, &c. that all civilized Nations should send Dele- gates to Hamburg to compose a Chancery, and that this Chancery should award pen- alties against Belligerent Nations: If the awards were not paid to the Chancery in three months, the offending nation was to be under the Ban of Commerce; that is all trade was to be interdicted: This restriction of Commerce was to be a substitute for fleets and fortifications and denominated an "UNARMED NEUTRALITY." In failure of other funds to pay awards, private and public debts due to the offending Nations were to be sequestered;—It seems to have been expected however, that the Ban of Commerce, would afford an adequate remedy.
Let the citizens of New-York think of these things, and if they are willing to rely for protection on a Board of Arbitrators, as wise and honest as that which distributed the Louisiana Fund, let them discard Forti- fications and Ships, honor Tom Paine and re- elect his patron Thomas Jefferson.
Extract from Thomas Paine's sixth letter to the citizens of the United States.
It had long been my opinion that com- merce contained within itself the means of its own protection; but as the time for bringing forward any new system is not al- ways happening, it is necessary to watch its approach, and lay hold of it before it passes away.
As soon as the late Emperor Paul of Rus- sia abandoned his coalition with England and became a neutral power, this crisis of time, and also of our circumstances, was then arriving: and I employed it in arrang- ing a plan for the protection of the com- merce of neutral nations during war, that might, in its operation and consequences, relieve the commerce of America. The plan, with the piece accompanying it, con- sisted of about forty pages. The citizen Bonhomme, with whom I live in Paris, trans- lated it into French—Mr. Skipworth the A- merican consul, Joel Barlow, and myself, had the translation printed and distributed as a present to the foreign ministers of all the neutral nations then resident in Paris.— This was in the summer of 1800.
It was entitled Maritime Compact, (in French Pacte Maritime ) The plan ex- clusive of the pieces that accompanied it, consisted of the following preambles and
articles. [A copy of this plan of a Mar- time Compact was published in the Mer- cantile Advertiser on the 10th January 1801.] The foregoing plan was presented to the ministers of all the neutral nations then in Paris, in the summer of 1800. Six copies were given to the Russian General Spring- orten; and a Russian gentleman who was going to Petersburg took two, expressly for the purpose of putting them into the hands of Paul. I sent the original manu- script, in my own hand writing to Mr. Jef- ferson, and also wrote him four letters, dat- ed the 1st, 4th, 6th, and 16th October, 1800, giving him an account of what was then going on in Europe, respecting neutral commerce.
The case was, that in order to compel the English Government to acknowledge the rights of neutral commerce, and that free ships make free goods, the Emperor Paul, in the month of September, following the publication of the plan, shut all the ports of Russia against England—Sweden and Den- mark shut up Hamburg. Prussia shut up the Elbe and the Weser. The ports of Spain, Portugal and Naples were shut up, and in general all the ports of Italy except Venice, which the emperor of Germany held, and had it not been for the untimely death of Paul a law of nations founded on the authority of nations, for establishing the rights of neutral commerce and the free- dom of the seas, would have been proclai- med, and the government of England must have consented to that law, or the nation must have lost its commerce: And the consequence to America would have been that such a law would in a great measure, if not entirely, have released her from the injuries of Jay's treaty.
Of all these materials I informed Mr. Jef- ferson. This was before he was president, and the letter he wrote me after he was pre- sident was in answer to him and he manu- script copy of the plan I had sent him. Here follows the letter.
Washington, March 18, 1801.
DEAR SIR, Your letters of October 1st, 4th, 6th and 16th, came duly to hand, and the pa- pers which they covered were according to your permission, published in the news pa- pers and in a pamphlet, and under your own name. These papers contain precisely our principles, and I hope they will be general- ly recognized here. Determined as we are to avoid, if possible, wasting the energies of our people in war and destruction, we shall avoid implicating ourselves with the powers of Europe, even in support of prin- ciples which we mean to pursue. They have so many other interests different from ours that we must avoid being entangled in them. We believe we can enforce those principles as to ourselves by peaceable means, now that we are likely to have our public coun- cils detached from foreign views. The re- turn of our citizens from the phrensy into which they have been brought, partly by ill conduct in France, partly by artifices prac- tised upon them, is almost extinct, and will, I believe, become quite so. But these de- tails, too minute and long for a letter, will be better developed by Mr. Dawson the bearer of this, a member of the late congress, to whom I refer you for them. He goes in the Maryland sloop of war, which will stay a few days at Hayre to receive his letters to be written on his arrival at Paris. You ex- press a wish to get a passage to this country in a public vessel. Mr. Dawson is charged with orders to the captain of the Maryland to receive and accommodate you back if you can be ready to depart at such a short warn- ing. Robert R. Livingston is appointed minister plenipotentiary to the republic of France, but will not leave this till we re- ceive the ratification of the convention by Mr. Dawson, I am in hopes you will find us returned, generally to sentiments friendly to former times. In these it will be your glory to have steadily laboured and with as much effort as any man living. That you may long live to continue your useful labours and to reap the reward in the thankfulness of nations is my sincere prayer. Accept assurances of my high esteem and affec- tionate attachment. THOMAS JEFFERSON.
LIGHT READING.
Joubert was married while on his way from Paris, to take command of the army of Italy. His bride was virgin, wife and widow, in the course of twenty days.
Women are like citadels—some are taken by storm, others withstand a long and vig- orous siege. Sunday night was married, at Hollywell, after a courtship of twenty some long years, M. Chambers, artificial flower- maker, aged 45, to the agreeable and ac- complished Miss Louisa Day, at the bloom- ing age of 20! The bridegroom is also a hero of the "sock and buskin," and is well known in several strolling companies by the name of Graves.— L.M. pap.
In 1800, while the French Council of Five hundred, were in session, a citizen presented a pamphlet, entitled, "The art of making one beloved by one's wife." This pro- duced a general laugh, and it was ordered to be mentioned in the Process Verbal, and deposited in the national library.
The Milanese have adopted a curious mode of ridiculing modern innovations in dress, by exhibiting the public Execution- er and his wife in the full dress of fashion. This is bringing iniquity to an unanimous end.
One of the most curious applications of the word Imperialist, occurs in an Irish print, in which a man advertises an "IMPARTIAL account of a hail storm."

LATE Foreign Intelligence,
By an arrival at New York, from France, and by the Galen, which arrived at Boston the 14th inst. Paris dates to Sept. 25, and London dates to Sept. 22, have been received.
PARIS, SEPT. 7, 1806.
THERE are accounts from Calabria which state, that a severe action has been fought between the French troops and the rebel . Success was dubious for some hours; but at length the bravery and discipline of the French triumphed; and the insurgents were driven to the mountains, leaving nearly 6000 bodies in the field. We lost many men.
A large English force continually menaces the coast of Naples; but they have recently done but little mischief.
SEPT. 11. The indications of continued War, and concluded Peace, like the buckets in the well, are successively paramount. Lord Lauderdale is still here, negotiating;—the camp at Meudon is not broken up, as reported;—and the preparations for the Grand Military Fêtes are going on.—All this looks pacific .—On the other hand, the movements in Germany;—the refusal of Alexander to ratify the treaty of the 20th June; and some other proceedings, wear a warlike aspect.—Every thing is uncertain, excepting that this state of uncertainty cannot long continue.
SEPT. 24. The Conservative Senate has held an extraordinary setting. It is said, his Majesty The Emperor has sent to them copies of letters, one to the Prime Primate of the Rhenish confederation, assuring him of the Emperor's determination powerfully to support the Confederation:—The other to the King of Bavaria, announcing that, notwithstanding many Court Intrigues, his Majesty still hoped to preserve peace with Prussia ; but, that, should not that power return a prompt and categorical answer to the explanations demanded, he was ready to enter Germany with 300,000 men.
Twelve sail of the line are ordered to be built at Toulon. The funds have been lent to build them. The cavalry lately at Meudon, and the dragoons, on foot, have left that camp. The others have been inspected, and expect to march hourly. [On the 25th it had broken up.] The Emperor's foot guards have left, in light waggons for the Rhine; where an immense army is assembling. All the troops in Holland have received orders to march to Zuent.
The present seems the age of contradictions.—England desires peace, but breathes war.—She prepares expeditions, and yet keeps a negotiator here. Prussia is at war only with Sweden, yet she is augmenting her armies, and making preparations as would indicate an attack on France.
His Majesty is said to have announced to his Senate the marriage concluded between his Imperial Highness Prince Jerome, and the Princess Royal of Wirtemberg. Cardinal Maury has been appointed First Almoner to his Imperial Highness Prince Jerome Bonaparte.
From the Paris Argus of Sept. 20.
Europe now every moment exhibits a spectacle more and more strange to the attention of observers. On whatever side we turn our eyes, we find contradictions to explain and problems to resolve.
England still testifies a desire of making peace, and her writers never cease preaching the prosecution of the war; she prepares distant military expeditions, at the very time that she keeps a negotiator of the first distinction at Paris.
Russia has just refused the peace she had demanded; and is condemned to inaction as long as she is bereft of a field of battle whereon to seize again the advantages and the military renown she has lost.
Prussia is at war only with Sweden, but their warfare has more the appearance of a squabble among citizens, than of a contest between Kings.—And, however, she is augmenting her armies, and making such preparations as would make one think she proposes nothing less than to attack the first power of Europe.
THE EXPEDITIONS.
LONDON, SEPT. 22.
The accounts from the seaports show, that the greatest activity prevails in putting the expeditions to sea, which are said to be destined to South-America, the Mediterranean, and Gibraltar. Several regiments of dismounted dragoons are among them, supposed to be destined for Buenos Ayres. Twenty battalions are already on ship board, and others are on their march towards shipping.—And the spirit which pervades the troops is indicative of success.
Though strange , it is yet true , no Messenger from Lord Lauderdale has arrived for several days!
OF PRUSSIA.
The difference between this country and Prussia, are in a train of settlement; and the Prussian ports will soon be reopened to our trade. The receipts for Prussian prize vessels and cargoes have not been distributed; but lodged in the treasury.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 19.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived yesterday, in Lord Derby's coach and six horses, attended by the Duke of Clarence, Lords Gore and Stanly, followed by his Royal Highness's attendants, the High Sheriff, and at least twenty carriages.
All the ships in the docks were decorated with the colors of their respective nations, and the brave fellows manning the yards, cheered his Royal Highness. The largest ship in the dock (an American) was peculiarly elegantly decorated, the head of which was a Cherokee holding the Plume of Feathers in the hand.

FROM NEW-ORLEANS.
Intelligence has been received by an arrival at Philadelphia, from New-Orleans, that Gen. Wilkinson, having taken the command of the U. S. army, at Natchitoches, had opened a communication with the commander of the Spanish troops;—in consequence of which, matters were adjusted, and the Spaniards had crossed, or at least had agreed to cross the Sabine immediately.
During the proceedings of this enterprize, the following letters passed between Gov. Clairborne, and the Commander of the U. S. marine force at New-Orleans. They will show what was the opinion of the former, in regard to the safety of that district, and what was the assistance which had been rendered it by our vigilant administration:—
New-Orleans, 7th Oct. 1806.
Sir—Persuaded that the same feeling of patriotism which has induced a declaration of your readiness to act in any quarter for the defence of your country, would induce you to support with great firmness the general safety, I shall with pleasure avail the public of your services whenever occasion may require. For the present, Sir, I cannot say what particular duty will be exacted of the navy, but I am solicitous that you should make every possible exertion to have the boats in port prepared for a cruise; and I feel the more solicitous on this point, since in two or three days some military stores will be shipped for Natchitoches, and I am desirous that the gun boats should give them convoy by the fort of Baton Rouge. I am Sir, with great respect, your humble servant,
WM. C. C. CLAIBORNE. Captain Shaw.
New-Orleans, 7th Oct. 1806.
Sir—The most recent communications to me from the Honorable Secretary of the Navy are entirely pacific. I am barely instructed to fit out and enter a few men for the safeguard of the boats and port. However, Sir, I am ready to act on any quarter from your instructions, in defence of my country—and in case you anticipate immediate service from the Navy, you will be pleased to make your communications and they shall be strictly attended to. I have the honor to be your excellency's most obedient servant,
JOHN SHAW. His Excy Gov. C. C. Claiborne.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14, 1806. Mr. BURR, in his tour, has received unanimous as well as civil treatment .—At Williamburg he was saluted with the " rogué's march ."—He knows the disposition of a crowd too well to be agitated at such treatment.
LOUISIANA AFFAIRS.
How often have we heard the democrats swear, that all the accounts of " squally appearances " in Mr. JEFFERSON's Louisiana hard-bargain , were " Misrepresentations "—"Federalies!"—And how many poor deluded animals swallowed these declarations, and believed, in their consciences, that the accounts were all false;—and that every thing was as quiet in colony , as they are at Washington . At length, however, they find, that a democratic General , in Georgia , (Jackson) has confirmed the truth of all the Federal assertions , and proved it was the democratic deceivers who " lied ."—He has found the tocin of alarm ;—has proclaimed, that the Spaniards have again entered the purchased limits;—have imprisoned five of the good citizens of the United States, and transplanted them into the dominions of Spain,—have cut down and carried off the flag of the United States, erected in our territory;—have forced our surveyors to desert and come home; and have taken an insulting position within the territory of New-Orleans! All this now comes out on official democratic authority —Yet all this has heretofore been denounced as " Federal misrepresentations ."—Let the People remember this—The " National Intelligencer " too, has at length, though reluctantly, acknowledged the fact; and that " the preponderating opinion at Natchitoches was, that a resistance to force would be rendered inevitable ." That the Spanish force at Baton Pierre , in our territory, amounts to 1500; and that the American regular force, after being reinforced by the militia, will be from eleven to thirteen hundred.—" Of course ," adds the Intelligencer , " there is but little ground for apprehension ." We have no doubt the troops we have in that quarter will do justice to the American character; but why their numbers should be kept inferior to their opponents, is for the President, or his apologists to answer.
DOYLESTON, Nov. 10.
COL. BURR.
"COMMUNICATION."—On Wednesday evening, the 3d of this instant, the Honourable, the late Vice President of the United States, Mr Burr, received the salutation of the rogues march, at the house of James Kam, in Williamburg.
The above extraordinary communication leads to an enquiry respecting the honorable attention paid to Col. Burr, at Williamburg, and we learn that on the sound of the martial music, the Colonel was highly pleased, not distinguishing the tune. The family being disturbed at the insult done to their guest, in which were many able men they were rushing forward to silence the music, but the Colonel prevent them. The next morning some of the persons most active acknowledged the impropriety of their conduct, and expressed their sorrow for their misguided zeal.
BOSTON, Nov. 17.
MIRANDA DEFEATED.
Captain Foster arrived here on Saturday, in 25 days from Trinidad, informs, that three days previous to his sailing, a Mr. Taylor, who had embarked in the expedition with Miranda, has reached this place with the unpleasant intelligence of their being defeated in landing at the Caraccas. He stated that the troops that Miranda had collected at Trinidad did not exceed 600; that with this additional force he had proceeded on his expedition; but immediately on his landing, was attacked and totally defeated; that Miranda, left in the engagement the greater part of his troops, and with much difficulty secured his retreat with the wreck of the little army, in one of the small vessels belonging to his squadron; that the Leader was also captured, and Capt. Johnson, who commanded her, and most of his officers, were beheaded.

At an ecclesiastical council, convened at Dover, N. H. Oct. 29, 1806, by letters missive from the church of Christ in that place, for the purpose of setting apart Mr. MARTIN L. HURLBURT, to the work of the gospel ministry.
Rev. John Thompson, moderator. Dr. J. Buckminster, scribe. The council proceeded to hear the votes of the church and of the parish to give a call to Mr. Hurlbut, and to examine his theological sentiments, and to hear information concerning his moral character.—They likewise heard a remonstrance, which was presented, against proceeding to his ordination.
After patient, diligent and prayerful deliberation, they came to the following Result:
We are fully satisfied that Mr. Hurlbut is a gentleman of every respectable talents, and theological acquirements, of sound religious sentiments, and of an amiable and unexceptionable moral character. Nothing has been offered by his opponents, which had a shadow of substantiating a different opinion. We have likewise reason to believe, that in his proceedings with regard to this church and people, he has been influenced by correct and laudable motives.
But considering the lamentable divisions which now exist in this place; considering the exceeding embarrassment, which we conceive, the candidate must experience, from settling under present circumstances, considering, likewise, the probability, which there is, of the continuance of these embarrassing circumstances, should we proceed, it is the opinion of this council that to proceed would be inexpedient. We highly commend the earnestness and perseverance of the candidates, friends in their exertions to obtain
a settled ministry. Most unfeignedly, we sympathize with them in their disappointment. We beg that the great head of the church, that divine and tender physician, would heal the aching wounds which they experience. We likewise take the liberty to recommend, that those who are of a contrary opinion, should as in the presence of him, whose eyes are as a flame of fire, and from whose omniscience nothing can be hid, to examine the motives and designs, by which they have been influenced. We do earnestly request and beseech of all, humbly to seek direction from above, and with union, to take proper measures to obtain what they all profess to desire, even the stated ministrations of gospel ordinances.
Voted Unanimously , John Thompson, moderator. Joseph Buckminster, scribe A true copy—attest, J. BUCKMINSTER, Scribe.
Editorial.
Communicated for the Gazette.
NOTWITHSTANDING the lessons of mortality we receive from the daily dispensations of providence, we forget that our days are numbered, and that their end is at hand. One after another out of our social circles receives the summons by the king of terrors; but we neglect to be also ready. We read " frailty " on the face of created nature; yet we go on from one design to another, as though the present were a state unchangeable. So great and so apparent is the infatuation of the mass of mankind, that though in the Sacred Scriptures we are every where told that we are born to die, and commanded to mind our own business, yet it cannot therefore be said that we stand in no necessity of their precepts. And so strangely preposterous is our conduct, that though eternal felicity is offered as the reward of our faith, and perseverance in the ways of well-doing; yet we seem to lay aside all concern for our own Salvation, to gratify an idle curiosity about the affairs of our neighbours. While the actions of others have no immediate relation to ourselves, and are not so dangerous to the welfare of society as to render indifference a crime, they ought never to be the subjects of our enquiry or contemplation. For surely the care of our respective families, and of our secular interests; the government of our passions, and the work of our own reformation require constant watchfulness, and all the energies of our souls.
In every city and village this " evil under the sun " is obvious. Few of the precepts inculcated on the Sabbath reach the bosom of the auditory. They are mostly laid up in some separate repository, and carefully applied to the conduct of others. Taking the customary rounds in my own parish, I seldom pass the grog-shop (which, by the way, is kept by a Justice of the peace, in open defiance of those laws he has sworn to support,) but I see some individuals neglecting their own avocations, to sit in judgment, by the side of a pint of whiskey, on the trivial affairs of the week. Even a new bonnet of the parson's wife becomes a subject of interesting debate: nor dare I exchange my rusty cassock for a more decent garb, without first sounding the deacon, to know if there be any objection among the people. But in this respect all classes seem equally culpable. Too often I myself and my brethren of the cloth neglect our own souls and those of our flocks, to gratify a gossiping kind of curiosity, which we have rendered proverbial.
Let not that propensity which is implanted in our breasts for the acquisition of useful knowledge be any longer perverted: let its excesses no longer endanger our future happiness. When our own temporal or spiritual interests have no concern, let us leave the professional and domestic secrets and conduct of others to their rightful proprietors. Let us carefully watch and guard that vineyard which our Heavenly Parent has given us in charge: " For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. "
THE VILLAGE CURATE.
Democratic Wailings & Lamentation
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE
MR. ADAMS, IN the last Argus is the following touch of the sublime and pathetic :— PERSECUTION.
THE Enemies of Republicanism have so far accomplished their object, in the destruction of the Argus, as to cause the Editor to be stripped of his Property .—Having been prosecuted for what has been termed a libel on the sympathist Joseph Bartlett, an Execution has issued against me, for nearly two thousand dollars; in consequence of which my Office and my Dwelling House are divested of their contents—and it is merely by the indulgence of my Creditors, that I make use of their types, and by the greater exertion am enabled to issue this imperfect paper.
Republicans!—I have used my utmost ability to support your cause—I have detected and exposed the secret enemy, and apostate—and by the enmity which is shewn me, I am proud to think I have been an obstacle in the way of Federalism—for Federalism is at the bottom, whatever tools may be made use of.—They may strip me of my implements; they may distress my family; they may fulfil their threats of further persecution.
One of our furious democrats, on reading the above to a neighbour, (who, by the by, does not profess to belong to any party) imprecated the most bitter curses on those wicked folks, the Federalists, as the authors of that " Persecution " which his dear friend WILLIS is the subject of. Declaring that he was well informed , that Bartlett was nothing more than a tool in the hands of the " purse proud aristocrats and would be Nabobs ," to work the ruin of the democratic cause. Only think says the democrat, what a train of inquiry is now brought to light. I wonder it was not headed twenty " Cats out of the Bag ." Our office is attached—the Printer's family distressed— O Lord! O Lord! here for the first time, he experienced such an overflowing of the " milk of human Kindness " that he lost the power of speech, till a flood of tears afforded relief. When, looking his neighbor in the face, he found his affecting narrative had been attended to without producing a single sympathetic emotion. This excited the astonishment of Mr. Democrat, and he wished to know how a person could remain a calm and indifferent spectator of such scenes. Why, friend, replies the other, your queer reminds me of a similar question I was once asked at the Theatre; on seeing the representation of a very tragical scene, the person who set next to me expressed his surprise that I should take so little interest in an exhibition which he was sure was very affecting. As there was nothing uncivil in the question, I could do no less than return a civil answer—which was this, that I could laugh at fictional folly, but never weep at fictional trouble.
Here their conversation ended; and I have been induced to inquire into the real situation of the Argus establishment and the truth of this " woful ditty ," told in a whining tone to its numerous subscribers; and I find that there is not the least colour of truth in the insinuation that the attachments were made by Mr. Bartlett; on the other hand, this " persecuting and distressing " business is the work of the " great ones " of this town and State, and is too farical to gull even the simple ones of the dominant party, " a tale told by an idiot ." Is it possible that the most credulous among the disciples of party can believe that those who are engaged heart and hand in the cause, would be the first to embarrass their printer.
The quarrels between deimocrats and democrats, I should let pass by me as the " idle wind ," but for the attempt which is made to deceive the public by holding up an idea that the federalists have had an agency in this trial for libelling . This charge is a direct falsehood; and made for the purpose of promoting the spirit of party animosity—but I believe the disorganizers in this District will not gain much by these sham manoeuvres. The leaders of the democrats in this part of the state have arrived at a point, their labors and conduct have fairly led them to. The Argus was established in this town for the express purpose of revolutionizing the politics of Maine: by which a few ambitious and unprincipled individuals might obtain offices of power and trust. In order to effect this, it was necessary to have a press under their controul, with a publisher who would comply with the mandates of these individuals with the same servility the slav. does those of his master. Every one acquainted with Mr. Bartlett's exertions for, and connection with the Argus establishment, knows the truth of this. His purse, and pen was volunteered in the cause; and he in return was rewarded with a seat in the Senate ; there, was not a greater patriot or friend to the people in existence than Mr. Bartlett, according to the Argus. But on a sudden the Argus changed its notes and this same Joseph Bartlett was metamorphosed by a kind of magic .

domain which democrats have a wonderful faculty of using whenever it suits their interest or convenience.
Instead of being one of the greatest and best of characters, he was represented as one of the worst and most depraved. The cause of this opposition to a fellow labourer is well known. Mr. B. wished to be elected to congress—this was going too fast; and was encroaching on the pretensions of richer if not greater folks than senator B. to prevent this hence the libels, prosecutions and verdict of 1500 Dollars.

European Intelligence.
THE last accounts from Europe, though they contain nothing official, strengthen the opinion that a powerful coalition is forming among the northern powers of Europe to act against France. An article from Paris has furnished Paris dates to Sept. 25. They state that Bonaparte had left Paris... that the troops which had been encamped near that city had been ordered to march towards Germany—the troops in Holland had been put in motion and were proceeding for Ziers. The Emperor's guards had crossed the Rhine, and in a few days a French army consisting of 300,000 men would assemble in Germany.
A serious misunderstanding exists between the King of Prussia and Bonaparte—and there was little prospect that an amicable adjustment would take place. Prussia suspects France is not very friendly to her sovereignty and independence, and her armies have lately been put in a state of preparation for active war. Bonaparte, it appears, is taking "time by the foretop." A private letter from Nantz, dated Sept. 20, states that the French Emperor "had put himself at the head of his forces, and was proceeding by forced marches towards the Prussian territories."
The negotiation between England and France was still pending, Sept. 25th. It is said the prevailing opinion in England was that Peace would not be the result of the mission.
Lord Hawick is appointed minister in the office of Foreign Affairs, vacated by the death of Mr. Fox. Mr. Thomas Grenville fills the office of First Lord of the Admiralty rendered vacant by the promotion of his Lordship.
Rear Admiral STIRLING has been sent out to supersede Sir HOME POPHAM, in the government of Buenos Ayres. And reports say he is to be sent home under arrest; but admitting that the expedition was undertaken upon his own responsibility—yet considering the happy termination of the event, and the valuable acquisition to the British government, we are induced to disbelieve the report; and only believe that he was superseded in consequence of a superiority of rank—as Sir Home Popham was only a captain.
The highest prize in the 6th class of the Pifcataqua Bridge Lottery, was sold at Portsmouth, and has fallen amongst a company of 20 or 30 persons, concerned in 40 tickets.—It was bought by Mr. Winthrop P. Norton, of Berwick.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Lines from "H. L." are too incorrect for publication, to say nothing of the business of the poetry—we are unable to even guess what the Author would be at.
For the last time we would observe that all communications must be forwarded free of postage, or they will not be attended to.
Dedication.
In Boston, on Wednesday last, was dedicated the second Methodist Chapel in that town. The throne of grace was addressed in a pertinent prayer by the Rev. Mr. Merwin; the concluding prayer was by the Rev. Mr. Webb. The performances by the choir, and solemnity of the scene, afforded the highest satisfaction to a numerous audience.
Married,
In England, Mr. W. Gibson, a Town-crier, to Mrs. A. Harwood. Saufage-maker, being his fourth wife and her second husband. Her first husband was the smallest man in the town, and the present is the largest; their united ages are just 150 years.
In Paris, H. L. H. Prince Jerome Bonaparte, to H. R. H. the Princess-Royal of Wirttemberg; sister-in-law to the late Princess-Royal of Great-Britain, now Queen of Wirttemberg. Oh! Miss Patterson!
In Milton, Mr. Moses Hobart, mcr. of Bath, to Miss Eliza Sumner, of the former place.
In Biddeford, Mr. Joshua Haley, to Miss Priscilla Emry.
In Providence, (R. I.) capt. JOHN DEAN, Jun. to Miss BETSY BRYANT, both of this town.
Died,
At Windsor, Mrs. Lamphere, wife of George L. She died on Sunday and was buried on Monday. From the singularity of her complaints, foul play was suspected, and by permission from her relations her body was last week taken up and examined by a jury of Doctors, who gave it as their opinion, that she came to her death by the hand of violence. A jury of inquest was then summoned, who reported,
"That she came to her death by blows received on her left side and across her back, and that those blows were probably given by George Lamphere, and that his mother was accessory thereto!"
They have both been committed to Woodstock jail.
At New-York, on the 11th inst. Mrs. Jones, of the Theatre. "We wish not to
speak of this lady in the ordinary language of prostituted newspaper panegyric. It is sufficient to say, that in her professional character, she was universally approved, and applauded by a discerning audience—and in her private capacity, she will be long remembered and deeply regretted by those who possessed her acquaintance and friendship. She has left behind her four young orphans, bereft of both their parents, and destitute of relatives on this side of the Atlantic. Need we, can we say more, to excite the sympathy of a generous public."

Fullers Earth. THE Fullers Earth exceeds all kinds of Soap, in cleansing of Woollen, Silks, and Cottons—extracts any kind of Grease, and leaves the color much clearer. It should be moderately dried in an oven, or into a small paste, and put on, and dried on the spots, and cleaned with a brush. Clothiers by using it in the following manner, will find it extremely beneficial. Take three pounds of dried Fullers Earth to a huck, or a bucket of water, let it dissolve, wet the cloth in the usual way for scouring; let the cloth go into the Fuling stock one hour, put on your scouring water, and let it go until the water comes clear from the cloth. The cloth will then be clean and soft—and half the quantity of soap for fuling is necessary—The cloth will cover better on the Warp, and will be twenty per cent easier to finish and color. Silk Dyers, will have great opportunities of using it to advantage in their line of business. Hatters will find it will cleanse more effectually than Soap and with a great saving of labor. Seamen may experience in the use of it inconceivable advantages, inasmuch as it is a scarcity of fresh water, Salt water may be adopted.—Also, in sweetening and clarifying of water, necessary for masters of vessels in long voyages. Private Families by using the Fullers Earth will find that Baizes, Flannels, and Woolen Hose will be prevented from shrinking and the color kept bright. And that many kinds of Household Furniture may be cleaned with it better than with Soap, Rotten-stone or Whiting—washing floors and scouring paints.—Mixed with vinegar, it disperses pimples and pustules, checks inflammations, cures burns.—From a consideration of the extensive utility of the Fullers Earth, the Proprietors of the Washington Mines, in Newfield, State of Massachusetts most respectfully solicit the encouragement and patronage of their fellow citizens. Nov. 17.
