DR. BEATTIE'S OPINION OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
***** The Christian Religion, according to my creed, is a very simple thing; intelligible to the meanest capacity, and what, if we are at pains to join practice to knowledge, we may make ourselves thoroughly acquainted with, without turning over many books. It is the distinguished excellence of this religion, that it is entirely popular and fitted, both in its doctrines and in its evidences, to all conditions and capacities of reasonable creatures—a character which does not belong to any other religious or philosophical system that ever appeared in the world. I wonder to see so many men eminent both for their piety and for their capacity, labouring to make a mystery of this divine institution. If God vouchsafes to reveal himself to mankind, can we suppose that he chooses to do it in such a manner as that none but the learned and contemplative can understand him?—The generality of mankind can never, in any possible circumstances, have leisure or capacity for learning a profound contemplation. If, therefore, we make Christianity a mystery, we exclude the greater part of mankind from the knowledge of it; which is directly contrary to the intention of its author, as is plain from his explicit and reiterated declarations. In a word, I am perfectly convinced that an intimate acquaintance with the SCRIPTURE, particularly the gospels, is all that is necessary to our accomplishment in true Christian knowledge. I have looked into some systems of Theology; but I never read one of them to an end, because I found I could never reap any instruction from them. To darken what is clear, by wrapping it up in the veil of system and science, was all the purpose that the best of them seemed to me to answer.
Letter to Sir Wm. Forbes.
THE COITAGE.
A FRAGMENT.
Sweet pliability of affections, that takes the barb from the dart of misfortune, and shapes the mind to its allotment! I have been the master of a palace, said Horatio, and now my only habitation is this cottage: troops of slaves in livery then obeyed my nod, now my sheep alone are obedient to me. The splendid board is exchanged for the fruits that the earth yields; to my own labour, and rarest juice of the vintage is succeeded by the simple beverage of the fountain.
But, am I less happy in this nook, where my ill fortune has placed me, than when I passed my laughing youth in the gaudy bowers of prosperity? If I am not soothed by flattery, I am not wounded by ingratitude; if I feel not the conscious pride of superior life, I am not the object of calumniating envy; and I am now too far removed into the shade for scorn to point her finger at me. Fears I have none, and hope—there is my consolation, there is the source of my joys, and the cure of my sorrows. They no longer rest on vain, idle, fallacious objects; on private friends, or public justice; they have now a more durable foundation, they rest on heaven!
ANECDOTE OF DONNA CARO, Aunt of the Marquis de la Romana.
During the war at the beginning of the French revolution, this courageous lady used to attend her husband, general Don Ventura Caro, who commanded the Spanish army in the neighbourhood of Yron. At the beginning of an engagement, this lady was accustomed to take her station on the battery of San Carlos, wherein was erected the signal-post for the left wing of the army. She held the telescope in her hand through which she viewed her husband, whilst he exposed himself to the firing as a common soldier; neither the firing of twelve twenty four pounders, which were placed around her, nor the bombs which fell beside her, could move her; the telescope never trembled in her hand. In the intervals of hostility, she employed herself in visiting the hospitals, and contributing to allay the distress of the sick and wounded. Such an instance of courage and benevolence is scarcely to be paralleled. She preferred witnessing the conflicts and the fate of her husband, to the anxiety of mind she knew she must have suffered till she could have heard it from others. The Marquis de la Romana at that time commanded a post called Casa fuerte (the Strong-house)—London Magazine.
LAW CASE.
At the Huntingdon Assizes, (Eng.) an action was tried for the recovery of the sum of 331. the price of three heifers. The sale took place at a public house, and the landlady was brought up to prove the contract: and who stated to the Court, that previous to the bargain being struck, there was a good deal of
“batteration.” Mr. Serjeant Selton, on cross-examining one of the witnesses for the defendant, said to him, “you have heard what Mrs. Bird has said about this contract, and that she says that there was a good deal of batteration before it was concluded; I will thank you to inform the Court what is the meaning of the word ‘batteration.’” “Why, Sir,” says she, it is something like what is passing between you & me.
A girl instituted a prosecution against a young man for seduction; but on stating her case, her Lawyer did not think she had facts enough to support it. She left him very melancholy; but returning next day with an air of triumph, she said, ‘another fact, Sir! he has seduced me again this morning.’
Good Trip.—A knowing democrat, the other day, seeing several young federalists passing, observed, “there goes some old Tories!”
ACROSTIC.
GREET, hail our country! for the day hath come On which old Massachusetts leaves her tomb! Resuscitated, from the Grave of Sin Erect she rises!—and new joys begin, Celestial joys!—And angels, hovering nigh, On her past fate would heave the pitying sigh; But on her future fate enrapt, they cry “Be Pride of Freedom, Earth and Sea and Sky!” A FEDERALIST.
Fortune's favour.—The TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS prize, in last Dixieville Road Lottery was owned one quarter by Abraham Bottomly, of Boston; one quarter by Ebenezer Brown and Charles Hutchins, of Norwich, Vermont; the latter a young man, lately commenced business; and one quarter by Thomas Loring James Wilson and Elisha Nye, three poor brick makers belonging to Charlestown.
Domestic Intelligence.
PHILAD. MAY 17.
A duel took place this morning between Sir George Macklin and Capt. F——, lately of the French army, near the Black Horse tavern, within a few miles of this city. Sir George Macklin was on the ground about half past three attended by his second, Mr. O——y, and Dr. B——k; a short time after which capt. F. accompanied by his second made his appearance.
The ground had been previously measured, twelve paces, but at the instance of Sir George the distance was reduced to ten. They both fired at the same moment, by signal. Sir George received a ball near the groin, and capt. F. was wounded in the left arm. When Sir George received the wound, he beckoned to his opponent to make his escape, as he was convinced his wound was mortal, Mr. O. and Sir George's servant, supported him to his carriage and he returned to town.
The circumstances, that produced this unfortunate affair, will not be uninteresting. Sir George Macklin is enthusiastically attached to the prince of Wales, and has, whenever it has been necessary, without ever consulting his personal safety, been a zealous defender of his character. Capt. F. is only a few days from France, and in company with Sir George and some others, the conversation unfortunately turned on the present royal family of G. Britain, when capt. F. uttered the most illiberal abuse against every branch of it—but particularly against the prince of Wales. At which Sir George Macklin demanded if he knew that he was a subject of G. Britain. Capt. F. replied in the affirmative. When Sir George informed him that his affections with respect to the prince of Wales were base and unmanly, equally destitute of probability and truth, nor would he ever suffer him or any of his nation, to t. advise with impunity the character of that prince. Words of such import followed, that the parties exchanged cards. In a few hours Sir G. received a challenge from capt. F.
Sir George Macklin had been absent from his native country (Ireland) about two years, and during that period had visited Germany, Sweden and these states. He was returning from a visit to the British ambassador, previous to his setting out for Ireland, when this unfortunate circumstance occurred.—Gas. U. S.
NEWBURYPORT, MAY 23.
A Duel!—A duel was fought yesterday morning, a few miles from this town, over the New-Hampshire line, between Capt. Eustis of the U. S. army, and Lieut. Wainwright of the navy. Lieut. W. we understand received a wound in the leg; but is not dangerous.—We do not learn what led to this dispute.
When will the unjustifiable, the shameful practice of single combat, cease to disgrace the character of New-England? Surely that cannot be an
honorable act, which transgresses the statutes of God and violates the laws of the country. We have no desire to injure the feelings of the particular gentlemen in question, but must ever enter our solemn protest against the abominable, the pernicious custom of duelling; which in a fatal moment deprived our country of one of its brightest ornaments.
FROM THE NORTHERN WHIG.
An Advertisement.—The following advertisement is extracted from the Baltimore North American. The person who is the subject of it, during the last session of Congress, particularly distinguished himself as a member of that bullying phalanx, which undertook to guard the honor and political infallibility of Mr. Jefferson. It is the same Montgomery, who associated himself with the seducer Jackson, the fighting Campbell, and the jacobinic thunderer Nelson, to brow beat the New-England representation in Congress:
“Whereas JOHN MONTGOMERY, Esq. a member of Congress from Maryland, has conducted himself in a most ungentlemanly, dishonorable and vindictive manner towards me, and has refused to give me the satisfaction due to a gentleman—I do therefore publish to the world that the said John Montgomery is a base, hypocritical, lying scoundrel, and a patron.”

Public Dinner.....at Albany.
On Tuesday the 16th inst. the Federalists of Albany celebrated the triumphs of federalism in the state of New-York, by a public dinner, at which a large number or the most respectable inhabitants were present.—Judge Gansevoort presided, assisted by F. P. Schuyler and Gilbert Stuart, Esq's. as Vice-Presidents. The following are among the Toasts drank:
The Triumphs of Federalism.—The precious fruits of popular conviction and patriotic exertion—May the same public spirit that obtained these triumphs, pursue them and use them for the honor, prosperity and happiness of our country.
American Commerce.—Our merchants asked protection—The government gave them an Embargo: The people remonstrated, and were answered by an enforcing act—But in the freedom of election they have found their remedy, and commerce is restored to them.
Song—“The ship Columbia and the Old Crea.”
The American Navy.—The natural, effectual, and sure defence of the United States—A timorous and time-serving administration, pressed with the principles, thought to satisfy it by inventing a fiction—They built gun-boats and called them the American Navy.
Song—“Peter Pindar's Ode; ‘Flee are not Lobsters,’ Fol de rail.”
The Administration of Jefferson.—The reign of popular delusion and state juggling—A substitution of professions for arguments—of appearance for realities—the people taught to fancy the rope over their heads, a SCRETE in their hands. But the genius of federalism has broken the spell, and truth, justice and public spirit resume their influence.
Song—“Jefferson's Confession.”
The President of the United States.—Elevated to the highest station in the gift of a free people; he takes a broader view, and feels a deeper responsibility—The first act of his administration gives a happy presage to future merit.
The politicians of the United States.—They are in the political, what the earth they cultivate is in the material world; the substratum of the system—May they exemplify the sage remark of their friend and fellow-labourer Washington, that “the great body of a well informed people will never continue for any length of time to think or act wrong.”
Song—Speed the Plough.
The Seamen of the United States.—In the frankness and generosity of their natures—May they forgive the injuries done them; forget the cruel edict that banished them to foreign climes, and return once more to the bosom of their families and the service of their country.
Song—“Go patter to Lubbards.” New-England—The ground tackle of the United States—With patriotism for her best bower, and steady habits for her cable, she
will hold the ship at her moorings against all the squalls of faction, and hurricanes of democracy.
Song—“Yankee Doodle for 1809, calculated for the meridian of the city of Albany.”
The northern Constellation. Increased by the powerful light of a sixth star, it shall illuminate the south, and chase the shades of democracy from those still benighted regions.
By General Abraham Ten Broeck.
FEDERALISM, a sound political creed—The great and good Washington believed in it, and practised its doctrines to the day of his death—it is safe and honorable to follow so illustrious an example.
By Abraham Van Vechten, Esq.
Federal ambition—The abolition of arbitrary laws; the renovation of a broken constitution; the restoration of civil liberty; the defence of national rights, and the exaltation of national honor.
By Mr. James Warren.
Thomas Jefferson's saving administration—Like a farmer burning his fence round his wheat to save his fire-wood.
Massachusetts Legislature.
The House of Representatives, if all the members elected attend, will be composed of about Six Hundred members. Last year the number elected by the people was 485; of which 252 were federal, and 233 democratic. They did not all attend. This body will be by far the most numerous deliberative assembly that has ever convened in the United States;—but not so large as assemblies of a similar nature in the old world—and we have never read any complaints that the numbers excluded deliberation, or retarded business. The celebrated Athenian tribunal, the Areopagus must have been a “multitudinous assembly.”—We have no particular statement of its number; but we may judge it was a large one, from the fact, that on the vote to condemn Socrates, 281 more members voted against than for him; and that upon his making some sarcastic observations on his sentence, 80 of those who at first voted in his favor, turned against him. In later times, we have seen, that the French States-General convened by Louis XVI, was composed of Twelve Hundred deputies.—Afterwards that the National Convention, if we recollect aright, consisted of Six Hundred; and was succeeded by a council of Five Hundred.—The British Parliament is composed of 658 members, of which England and Wales elect 513, Scotland 45, and Ireland 100.—St. Stephen's Chapel, in which they meet, is not so large as our Representatives' Chamber; but when there is a general attendance, some of the members take seats in the gallery.—In a late debate on the charges against the Duke of York, it is mentioned, that General Gascogne addressed the House from the members' gallery.
[Centinel.]
From Kennebec.—A scene of great rasquality has been exhibited in Farmington. The Selectmen are democrats—At the late choice of Representatives, on the first count of the votes, the federal candidate was elected by a majority of three—Not liking this, they proceeded to a new count, when one of them was villain enough to secrete three of the federal votes; and the consequence was that no choice was declared;—But measures are in train for their indictment and punishment.—Ibid.
An extraordinary instance of longevity lately occurred in the Island of Jamaica, in the person of Joseph Ram, a black man, belonging to Morrice Hall's Estate, and who died in December last, at the advanced age of 140 years; he perfectly remembered the duke of Albemarle, who succeeded to the government of that island in 1677. His daughter, Grace Martin, an inhabitant of Spanish Town, and upwards of 85 years of age, says he had a complete set of new teeth about 20 years ago, which remained sound to the day of his death. His hair turned quite gray; he retained his sight and memory well, and had all his senses perfect, except that of smelling. He was stout and
inclined to corpulence: was never sick but once, and all the physic he ever took in his life was one dose of nut oil. He had 26 children by different women. His appetite was always good, and a few days previous to his death, he walked a distance of four miles. His dissolution was gradual, and unattended by pain or sickness; it seemed indeed to be the mere decay of nature.
From the American Citizen.
[The following remarks are from a New-York paper which has long been distinguished for its zealous labours in the democratic cause. They are so just and so much to the purpose that we think it meets to give them a place in our paper. Clean-shaven, the Editor, because he did not turn and follow every wind of doctrine raised by the democrats, has recently been denounced by them as an opuscul.]
During the reign of Jefferson terror, (and I never knew a reign more terrible than the latter part of his administration) a vindictive and remorseless war was commenced against every man of virtue and talent in the republican party, that did not yield implicit assent to executive opinions and measures—Whatever was the design, whatever was the ultimate view, the practice was to break down individual independence, and to coerce the mind, by pains and penalties, by persecution and proscription, into a slavish submission to the royal doctrine, that “the King can do no wrong.” Jefferson has himself said (and I candidly confess that I am no admirer either of the man or of his doctrines) but Jefferson himself justly remarked, that “religious persecution has no other tendency than that of making men either hypocrites or victims.” Has not political persecution the same tendency?—It undoubtedly has. Now whether he himself was the origin of that execrable system of persecution against republican independence and talent which was set in brisk motion, or only slyly connived at and encouraged it, I know not, but it was certainly prosecuted under his auspices. Did a republican differ from Mr. Jefferson? He was denounced. “My lords, my lords, the King's been shot at,” was the hue and cry set up, and down went the man who said that the King's gun-boats were not as large as 74's. Do you dislike the proposition for a dry dock? I do. Then you are no republican, for as Mr. Jefferson approves of dry docks, all republicanism is a dry dock! A man landing here to day from Europe, who had not witnessed these things, might say, in reading this paper; this is a very good joke, but it is only a joke. He could not imagine that in the “most enlightened country in the world,” as Congress resolved this was; the most free and only free, as the Maitland tribe insists, and beyond all Question the most liberal and republican, whether congress resolve or the slaughter laws maintain so or not; I say he could not imagine that in such a country dogmas and doctrines so preposterous and anti-republican, had been propagated by republican zeal, and enforced by republican persecution. Still it is a fact. Such things have been, and such things yet are.—John Randolph censured some of the measures of the administration, and therefore John could not be a republican, down John must go. He had never deserted republican principles, but what then? He did not worship the king, and that was precisely the same offence as if he had apostatized from all the principles of the constitution. Duane thought that John was right and that Jefferson was a “good innocent man enough, but that two rascals stood with a rope about his neck which they drew as they pleased.” He so intimated in his Aurora, and according to the address below, he declared to at one of the Philadelphia ward meetings. But he afterwards changed, for he can smile, and he can smile, and smile and still be a villain.—He afterwards obtained a Colonelcy! Ah, The Colonelcy. Then the King was to be worshipped & Randolph was wrong! Wonder working Colonelcy! Randolph was now opposed in his district: out he must go, for to have in Congress a republican of talents and virtue is a damnation in! No man is now fit for a seat in that honourable body who will not sit like a Mandarin, and only nod his head when the President orders him to do so. Now as John is not a disciple of confusion, 5 Chinese were started against him in his district. The first four had to fine a prospect of being completely distanced, that after running the course once round they gave up! Mr. Barber the late President's nephew was brought out, but as John's constituents were not a bit fonder of Confucius than himself, the late President's nephew was beaten to his heart's content. If Fox had been defeated in Westminster, England would have trembled for the respectability and independence of the House of Commons. The Westminster electors never permitted themselves to be overawed by royal power.
The 11th Congress convened in Washington on Monday last.

Foreign Intelligence.
By the arrival of a vessel at New London, London dates to March 29, have been received.
DEPOSING OF THE KING OF SWEDEN.
LONDON, MARCH 26—29, 1809.
Another important event is to be added to the many that have occurred of late years; a Revolution has broken out in Sweden, and the gallant Monarch has been deposed. His uncle has seized the reins of government, and in a Proclamation addressed to the people, declares his nephew incapable of conducting the affairs of the nation. The details of the Revolution we have not yet received. It was probably concerted by the Duke of Sudermania and some of the Nobles at Stockholm, with the Commanders of the troops on the frontiers of Norway. The revolutionary symptoms developed themselves first among the troops. The want of cloathing and provisions had created great discontent which was fomented by the Commander in Chief, who broke up from his position, and began his march to Stockholm to demand a Diet of the States. On their march they published a Proclamation in which they stated that their views were merely these; that the States of the Realm and the Legislators shall be at liberty to assemble and deliberate without controul. The Proclamation then draws a picture of the wretched state of Sweden; and in speaking of Great Britain and France says, that the former, the ally of Sweden, shall learn to appreciate and value a nation which knows how to break its fetters, and that the latter shall be taught to respect a people anxious to rival her military prowess. The Proclamation contains a solemn declaration, that not a single inch more of Swedish territory shall be given up to the enemy. The Duke of Sudermania, not waiting for the meeting of the States, deposed the King by his own authority, and assumed the Government. His Majesty was put under arrest as he was about to set out for his country residence. When the guard surrounded him, he drew his sword, but he was soon overpowered, and when the last advice left Stockholm, he was a close prisoner.
That this revolution has been of French contrivance we are not able to pronounce, though many will be inclined to suspect that it is.
Immediately after the Duke of Sudermania deposed the King, his Majesty was conveyed to the Royal Palace of Drottningholm, situated in a small island at the distance of about seven miles from Stockholm, where he still remains confined.—The chief object of the revolution being said to be the restoration of Peace, Couriers were immediately sent to the Courts of London, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Copenhagen, with a view to accelerate that event.
As the Authors of the revolution are ready to cede Finland to Russia, Peace it is supposed may easily be concluded. But let us not adopt that opinion too hastily. The Emperor Alexander may see in this summary proceeding against his brother-in-law, something to alarm him.—He may know or suspect it to be the work of France, and that she holds it up as a kind of warning or menace to him if he should throw off her influence. He may therefore determine to adopt a vigorous measure, and to restore his brother-in-law to his Throne by force of arms.
As to peace with this country we always caused it to be understood, that we never had any objections to Sweden purchasing her safety by making a treaty with France—Of
course, however, we could not refrain from treating her as an enemy, if France would not permit her to be neutral towards us—But we should have recourse to hostilities with great reluctance.
That Peace may easily be made by the authors of the revolution with France we can readily believe—The disposition of their Sovereign will be their immediate passport to the grace and favour of Bonaparte.
PARIS, MARCH 17.
Yesterday's Moniteur has the following:—General Androssi, Ambassador from France to Vienna, is arrived at Paris on leave of absence—He left behind him, to transact his affairs, M. Dobrin, his first Secretary of Legation. On his arrival he had an interview with the Emperor. This morning, Col. Gorgoly, Aide-de-Camp of the Emperor of Russia, arrived here; he left Petersburg on the 1st inst.—The Emperor invited him instantly to accompany him to the chase, and also to dine with him.
MARCH 18.—The last news from Saragossa contradicts the report of the death of Palafox; they even state that he has quite recovered. The Count de Fuentes continues dangerously ill in consequence of his long confinement in a dungeon by the insurgents.
ULM, MARCH 10.
The first column of General Oudinot's army which consists of 30,000 men passed the Danube between the 24th and 27th of February, and proceeded in the direction of Augsburg. The second column has been filing off through this city since the first instant and pursues the same route. A considerable part of the artillery attached to this army also passed through, besides a detachment of artillery from the grand park at Erfurth.
The Duke of Auerstadt's army in Bayreuth, of which 7000 cavalry are passing the Danube for Bavaria, and those of Oudinot, Bavaria, Wirttemberg, and Baden, which will be immediately united for the protection of this country, are estimated at 160,000 men; and this force is exclusively of the contingents of Saxony, Westphalia and the other confederates.
MARCH 18.
The Marshal Duke of Auerstadt is arrived here. It is reported that this place is to be the head quarters of the Rhine army. From the Tyrol we learn that a considerable French army is entering the Venetian territory.
LONDON, MARCH 27.
Dutch papers have been received to the 22d instant, and though they do not announce the commencement of hostilities, they afford us additional proofs that war is inevitable. The first column of Oudinot's army, 30,000 strong, is now at Augsburg. The second column filed off through Ulm, on the 1st, and proceeded in the same direction. The number of French in Germany, including the Rhenish contingents, is estimated at 180,000 men. The Austrian troops are encamped at Egra, in Bohemia, Lintz, in Upper Austria, and on the side of Italy. Considerable apprehensions are entertained in Saxony, on account of the contiguity of the Austrian army, and the treasure, and archives, have been sent off in great haste from Dresden. From Russia we have not yet sufficient information to assert that she will take part with Austria, but we have a strong belief that she will. Count Wamoden, an Austrian officer, is reported to be gone to Turkey, to arrange with the Russian General the march of the Russian army from Turkey into Galicia.
Our latest intelligence from Austria announces, that in imitation of the Spaniards, the students of the u-
niversities and high schools, had offered to serve their country in separate regiments, which offer the government had accepted. A number of officers in the Austrian army, born subjects of the Princes of the Rhenish League, had on the other hand, demanded their dismissal, being unwilling to fight against their countrymen.
In Austria, the military preparations still continue. Beside the camps forming at Egra, in Bohemia, at Lintz, Upper Austria, and on the side of Italy, it is also said, that a fourth army is to be formed in the territory of Salzburg.
The French, as appears by the Paris papers to the 20th, did not make their formal entry into Saragossa till the 5th instant, though its surrender is said to have taken place on the 21st of last month.—The account of Palafox's death is contradicted. Long may he be preserved to his country, of which he is so bright an ornament.
MARCH 28.
A flag of truce arrived yesterday afternoon at Dover, with a Russian Messenger on board. He came from Boulogne in a French Schooner, and his name is De Sals. He left Russia the latter end of February. At seven o'clock last night he set off for London, in a post chaise and four, and arrived in town this morning—The flag of truce returned to Boulogne as soon as she had laded him. It is supposed by some, that he is bearer of another joint Overture from France and Russia; but had that been the case, he would have been dispatched from Paris, & not from Petersburg.—Others assert that he is come with dispatches for the Russian Admiral.
Portugal.—Gen. Sherbrook's division, as we have before stated, had arrived at Lisbon, making the British force in that quarter amount to from 18 to 20,000 men.
We have before stated that the Marquis de Romana had retreated upon Chaves in good order. The accounts now received are rather confused; but so far as we can understand them, he has since retreated from that quarter, which seems now to be occupied by a French force of about 7000 men. It appears, by some letters, that Romana has proceeded towards Lisbon, proposing to unite with the British and Portuguese in that quarter, and to act in conjunction with them against the common enemy.
Spain.—Important and interesting intelligence was received this morning by government. The precise particulars we have not been able to learn, but the news is from the eastern provinces of Spain, where the Spaniards have gained some signal advantages over the enemy. Not only the strong city of Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, but Mount Joy, the fort by which it is defended, situated on a rocky mountain about a mile to the west of the city, has surrendered to the patriots under Gen. Reding. This success was followed by the immediate retreat of the French, not only from the whole of Catalonia, but from all the eastern provinces of the peninsula; and a solemn thanksgiving had in consequence been observed throughout the Spanish armies.
In one of the neighboring provinces, in which the French had attempted to rally, report says, they were again attacked by the Spanish peasantry, who after three days' hard fighting, had entirely annihilated the whole body.
House of Commons, March 27.
Mr. Rose stated, from an account which had been presented to the House, of the general return of the Exports and Imports for the year ending the 5th of January, 1809—that notwithstanding the embargoes, and other measures of the American government, the Exports of British
manufactures for the last year, exceeded that of the preceding year, by nearly a million and a half, and that it had been very nearly equal to the best years which the country had ever known.

NEW-YORK, MAY 22.
INDIA.
By the Projector, from Canton, we learn that an expedition fitted out at Bengal and Penang, under direction of Admiral Drury for the purpose of taking possession of Mocoa, arrived in Mocoa Roads on the 11th September last. Immediately after his arrival the Admiral demanded of the Portuguese Governor a surrender of the place which was peremptorily refused him and nothing further respecting it than negotiations took place till the 20th, when about 300 soldiers, with 2 or 3 pieces of artillery were landed and put in possession of one of the forts.
Previous to the landing of the troops, Admiral Drury had made every preparation of the boats & men belonging to his squadron, for taking the town, by assault, to prevent which the Governor consented that there should be no opposition to the landing of the troops, and that they might garrison the fort, upon which, however, they were not permitted to hoist English colors. The Chinese now interfered and ordered Admiral Drury to leave the place alleging that he had made an encroachment upon the territory of the Empire which could not be submitted to. He persisted in keeping his troops on shore, and declared his determination to hold the Town at all hazards; the Vice-Roy of the province issued an order of the 25th Sept. forbidding the landing of any cargoes from, and sending any on board, the English ships of which there were between 40 and 50 lying at Wampoa. An entire suspension of trade ensued, and continued 3 months, during which time the Admiral visited Canton, attended by all the boats and about 2000 men from the ships. The object of this visit was to obtain an interview with the Vice-Roy, who haughtily refused to admit him into his presence, and treated him with contempt.
On the 10th Nov. Admiral Drury ordered all the English subjects to quit Canton in 3 days, and repair on board the ships of their nation at Whampoa. Ten days after he attempted another visit to Canton with the launches and other boats of the fleet strongly armed, but was driven back by the Chinese, who had stationed some Man of war Junks five or six miles below the city, where the boats were fired at and stopped.
From this time till the 20th of December, all communication between Canton and the ships at Whampoa, and all supplies of provisions were strictly forbidden, and no Englishman was suffered to remain in Canton, or return to that city. One gentleman in attempting to get there by stealth, was discovered, carried into the city and there kept in confinement during the continuance of the difficulties.
Finding that his expedients to induce the Chinese to connive at, or consent to his holding Mocoa, were ineffectual, the Admiral abandoned the enterprise, withdrew his troops and left Mocoa for Bengal about the first of January last. As this was a compliance with the conditions required by the Chinese, the trade with the English, was renewed.
WASHINGTON, MAY 18.
Another Federal messenger.—On board the Presage, which sailed from this port on Tuesday last for St. Salvador, went passenger, Mr. Eli Magruder a "staunch Federalist." Mr. Magruder is bearer of dispatches from our government to the Portuguese government at the Brazils. For the honor of the government we state that Mr. Magruder was favoured with every information from the office of state, which he could desire to facilitate the mercantile speculations in which he was engaged. To save brother Colvin the trouble of explaining what he himself may not understand, we also state, that Mr. Magruder was bound to the Brazils on his own business, and offered his services to carry any letters the government might wish to forward to that country. We hope the exclusive friends of administration will not be offended because a good democrat was not appointed to this office with monthly wages, and "additional rations" for the service.

PROVIDENCE, MAY 23.
ON Saturday evening last, two valorous Knights from the city of Boston with their valiant esquires, arrived in this town. The one, as we are informed of the renowned name of E——, belonging to the American army; the other unknown. They took up their
lodging at 'Newbedford's' far famed castle. Having taken great pains by much previous conversation on the subject, in the audience of all the servants and inmates of the castle, to make their object known, they proceeded on the following morning of the Lord's day, a day peculiarly suited to such pious exploits, to the field of battle to encounter each other in a duelling tournament. Unfortunately, however, they were followed, as they expected, and undoubtedly wished, by the Sheriff of the county; who forbade the fight within his bounds, drove them beyond the line of his State, and compelled them reluctantly to return, to receive the plaudits and acclamations of their fellow citizens, for their glorious but unsuccessful enterprise.
NEW ADMINISTRATION.
The democratic editors are quarrelling about the new administration. Some of them appear to be sorely afraid that the president will tread in the steps of Washington. Let this be the case, and their consequence vanishes—they are reduced to their merited insignificance—"Othello's occupation's gone!" For our parts we are satisfied with the conduct of Mr. Madison, so far. If he does right he will have our approbation and support. Measures and not men are the subjects of our animadversions. We opposed the election of Mr. Madison because we supposed he would pursue the system of Mr. Jefferson;—a system which in another four years must have completed the ruin of the country. We are agreeably disappointed in the abandonment of this destructive policy;—and we sincerely hope Mr. Madison, following the example of his friend Washington, will be the President of a nation and not of a party.
Our democratic brethren sneeringly demand, if we will give Mr. Madison our support for President, the next four years? This is too soon to give a promise to be fulfilled four years hence. The grave may swallow us up, and Mr. Madison with us long before the next presidential election. But should Mr. Madison live to stand a candidate, it requires no great sagacity to foresee that those who supported him last summer will be his bitterest enemies.—Whether the federalists will support him or not time must determine.—Washington Federalist.
From the New-Jersey Telescope.
FEDERALISM.
The good people of these United States are at length rouzed. They are awake from a long night of delusion—convinced of their error, they determine to go forth in their strength, and with rapid strides to trace back the onward steps they had taken to the inevitable destruction of their liberties. Federalists—Friends to their country—the disciples of the Washington school will rejoice at the triumphant prospect growing out of the result of the late elections in various parts of our country;—this organ of the publick will, deliberately expressed by the suffrages of freemen, already sounds the knell to the theoretick and visionary schemes of a demotick faction—and proclaims the resurrection of Federalism, the return of an abused people to the good old paths laid out and trodden by the patriotick founders of our liberties. "The sun of federalism" long obscured by the clouds and mists of a kind of political fanaticism, has again dawned on our almost devoted country; but a little while ago a star of promise, the harbinger of this long looked-for day of political reformation, appeared almost in the extreme east. The wise men of the East hailed it as an omen of expected good to their country. A spirit of inquiry was excited. The people soon became convinced that the system pursued by their rulers was destructive to their best interest, they determined to change their rulers, confident that a change of measures was absolutely essential to the prosperity of their country. New-Hampshire placed her seal to this determination, by electing a federal governor and Legislature;—the good work of reformation begun at this extreme point of the Union, has proceeded with a firm and steady pace. Rhode-Island, Massachusetts and Vermont follow close in the van—Connecticut, a strong tower against which the shaft of faction has ever been blunted, increases its federal majorities

the returns received from different districts of the State of New-York, warrant the most sanguine expectation of a glorious result—New-Jersey is already hailed a legitimate sister of the Eastern family; her next election will prove that her eastern friends have not called her by a wrong name.
Nor is it the East and North of the United States that feel alone the genial effects of the new-risen "son of Federalism"—the South and West too begin to give testimony to its benign and salutary influence. Maryland, one of the Carolinas, and Ohio, give substantial proofs by their late elections, that they prefer returning to fixed systems, rather than hazard their interests longer on uncertain philosophick experiments—[Mr. Jefferson's own state] has, in her recent election for Congressmen, by returning five more Federalists than formerly, added another testimony to the fact, that a change of men is absolutely necessary to insure a change of measures, so indispensable to the welfare of this great and growing Republic.

LATEST FROM SPAIN.
By an arrival at Philadelphia, from Cadiz, Gibraltar papers to the 2d, and Spanish papers to the 4th of April, have been received by the Editors of the Freeman's Journal , from whose summary we extract the following:—
After the battle of Medellin, in Estremadura, of which we have no detailed account, the French penetrated into Andalusia, and were said to be within 18 leagues of Seville. The situation of Spain, which we cannot disguise, looks worse than we expected, is not, however, hopeless. Their allies the British, who ought to be supposed to know the real state of the country, have again sent a fine army of 33,000 men to their assistance. This does not look like despondency, nor do we see any thing of it in our papers—but the verbal reports of a passenger are quite the reverse. He appears to think that Spain must ultimately yield to the French power.
The American vessels which had been so long detained at Cadiz, had been restored through the interference and at the request of the Marquis de Casa Yrujo.
Verbal accounts state that Gen. Reding was in Catalonia, and Gen. Cuesta in Estremadura—That the Marquis Romana was in the mountains of Asturias—That nothing was known of Blake—That the army of La Mancha formerly under Infante, and lately under Gen. Urbion, was totally annihilated—That Gen. Castanos was confined in a convent near Seville for misconduct, (no doubt at the battle of Tudela)—That nothing was known of Palafox, whether dead or living, but that it was reported that Saragossa was totally a heap of ruins and destroyed, having been literally blown up by inches, and only 10,000 inhabitants remaining alive out of 80,000 which were in the city when the siege commenced—That after the battle of Medellin in Estremadura, another severe battle took place, in which Cuesta was defeated, while the French, as stated above, were menacing Seville. Such is the substance of our verbal accounts, which the passenger who narrated them states were the reports at Cadiz.
Extract of a letter from a very intelligent and respectable gentleman in Cadiz, to his friend in Philadelphia dated,
"CADIZ, MARCH 31, 1809."
"We are assured that Austria has declared war. If so, the affairs in this country will take a very different turn. The British, notwithstanding their reverses in the north of Spain, have returned to the charge, and thirty thousand men have arrived at Lisbon, and the vanguard are marching on against the French, and may soon expect to be up with them. An army of near 40,000 Frenchmen are in the adjoining province to this, and coming down it is supposed to attack us, but there is every reasonable hope to think every thing will go right; for my part, I have not the least apprehensions. The Spaniards have suffered much—it was natural to suppose they would, and the cause of Spain has been a good deal injured by the alarm given in England, after the defeat of Sir J. Moore's army. These people suffered much, but were from want of information and management than any thing else. But after all, if it is true, which we have every reason to suppose, that Austria has declared war, and she makes any resistance, nothing is to be apprehended from this side."
A London paper of March 28, states that an American capt. by the name of Mason, gave information off C. St. Vincent, to Ad. Duckworth's squadron, of his having been, the night before, hail-
ed by a line of battle ship in French; the people on board of which appeared to be in a great confusion, and desired him to heave too; but that he seeing the man of war could not readily take in sail, pursued his course; and the next morning saw two sail of the line steering for the Gut of Gibraltar.
We congratulate our federal friends, on the happy issue of their endeavours to regain those rights and privileges, on which depend our principal means of subsistence. "The mind of desultory man, fond of change," by mistaking visionary phantoms for real good, is put to the wreck to devise new experiments. Hence the citizens of this country, dissatisfied with the unparalleled prosperity which they enjoyed under the mild auspices of Washington and Adams, and facilitated with the professions and philosophy of demagogues, renounced the policy & the authors of their happiness, and joined themselves to democracy. But, thanks be to heaven, the spell is broken. The destructive policy pursued by the late administration, has taught a lesson that will long be remembered. To the wavering imbecilities, which for eight years have paralyzed our councils and disgraced the nation, there is reason to hope, will succeed some degree of energy and plain dealing. Should our hopes be realized and the lacerated wounds of party healed, the country will hail with lively satisfaction those patriots in the cause of their country, by whose means it is effected.
BATH REPRESENTATIVES.
The following communication, from our correspondent at Bath, was received immediately after the election of representatives in that place; but democratic disorganization & intrigue, having become so general, as to render their transactions at Bath, in no wise uncommon, its publication, at that time, was deemed unnecessary. A writer in the last Argus , however, over the signature of "Bath," having basely misrepresented facts, relative to that meeting, we are now constrained to give it publicity.
"DEAR SIR, "OUR election for representatives is at last over. We have fought hard, and obtained the victory. For notwithstanding our majority, we have to contest every point. Mr. King, the great leader of democracy, was determined, at this time, to bear down every thing before him. They had made such use of the late good news, to deceive the people, that we really feared they would succeed. They exerted themselves to get out every person on their side, who had a right to vote, and many who had no right. Mr. King sent his Coach, for two old blind men, who had no right, and were not even allowed to vote after they had got to the meeting. After the meeting was opened, Mr. King made a long harangue; denied the right we had to send three representatives, on the authority of the last strange resolve, which the House passed respecting that subject. He contended that it was inexpedient: the late glorious news would put an end to all opposition. He spoke a great deal in favor of the administration and the embargo policy. He sympathized with the unfortunate sufferers who had held out under their calamities, but assured them the highest honors of their country awaited them, the second class of people; for so he called them, whose sufferings had been so great that they were obliged to abandon their former principles. He compared, to a brave army, those who, notwithstanding they had fought hard, were obliged to capitulate to superior force. They also were meritorious. But for the third class, who always persisted against the late measures, & opposed the embargo from first to last; "for them, even charity had nothing in store;" they would receive, & merited, the contempt of the world. All Europe, he said, would behold with astonishment, that we, by our embargo, could obtain terms from Great Britain, such as they could not, with all their powerful and numerous armies; and he spoke a great deal of his willingness to sacrifice his property, and even "take his blanket and lie in the field," to maintain that liberty and independence for which our fathers fought & bled. His speech was calculated to deceive the people. But he was answered in a very able and spirited manner by Mr. Coffin, who silenced and put to
nought, every argument and assertion which had been made. He confounded the democrats, confirmed the doubtful, and, I believe, convinced many of their delusion. He was continually interrupted by Messrs. K. and Tallman; the truth did not suit their ears, & they were unwilling other people should hear it. Mr. C. proved, by the assessors, that they had rated 624 polls, the present year, and that there were a number of ratable polls in town, who were not rated. Mr. J. Wingate basely insinuated, that the assessors were guilty of perjury. Such an insinuation against such men, could only come from a person as base as himself. He was answered by Mr. Davis, who is one of the assessors, in such a manner, as evinced his sense of the outrage. Mr. James McLean, made his maiden speech: "Mr. Chairman, I will make a motion, that Mr. Coffin don't speak no more!" The house was polled, which is a method the democrats always call for, knowing that a number are afraid to take a stand boldly.—The persons chosen, are W.M. WEBB, SAMUEL DAVIS, and JONATHAN HYDE. Yours, &c.
Bath, May 3d, 1809.
COMMUNICATED.
Notwithstanding the many proofs we have of the efficacy of the Kine-Pock in resisting the contagion of the Small Pox, we daily find some who would readily partake of its blessings could they be brought to believe it a sovereign remedy. To such unbelievers, I would mention that a vessel belonging to Falmouth returned from Alexandria, a few days since amongst whose crew were three men who had never had the Small Pox; as they were very much exposed, they prudently had themselves inoculated with the Kine-Pock; two of them had the disease, but the third did not. The consequence was that he sickened with the small pox, and died. The other two were equally exposed to the small pox (in Alexandria, and continued on board the vessel, and nursed him who had taken the small pox the natural way) but the virtues of the kine-pock proved a complete antidote: thus we have "confirmation strong as proof of holy writ," that the kine-pock is an infallible preventative of the small-pox.
Married,
In Dighton, Oakes Angier, Esq. attorney at law, of Belfast, to Miss Francis Hathaway of Dighton. A strange marriage indeed! In Birmingham, England, Mr. Eleazer White, aged 81, to Miss Lucinda Beckford, aged 17. What is very remarkable, the usual inducement cash, on the aged side, did not operate in this case—he is poor, and she will shortly be mistress of a handsome fortune—she loved him for himself alone; and she esteemed him because he was venerable in years.
Died,
In Dedham, a young woman who passed by the name of Clarke; she was left there about a year since by a gentleman, and soon found herself with a helpless infant, deserted, and unprotected in a strange place; her child lived but a few weeks, and is now joined by its unfortunate mother. In Scarborough, Miss Mary Burnham, aged 26. Drowned—In this harbor on the 24th inst. Theophilus Everett, only son of Mr. Oliver Everett, aged 6 years and 7 months. In the forenoon he attended school as usual, and about the middle of the afternoon he was discovered on the top of the water near the Wharf. He was immediately taken out and every exertion made to restore him, but without effect. His soul had taken its departure for the world of spirits—Thus has a parent's fondest hopes been suddenly blasted, his expectations cut off in a moment, and his dear earthly object torn from his parental and affectionate embraces. Rarely can there be found among children of his age one more promising; and in whom were united more amiable qualities, or who was more universally beloved by his companions and all who knew him.

Coffin, who died sometime in Jan. on his passage from Benjar Massin, to Canton.] Left at Canton, ship Derby, Swift, of Boston; arrived on the 13th Jan. ship Triumph, of New-Haven; do on the 10th Dec. brig Jenny Dorr, of Boston, from Figee Islands, was captured by Admiral Drury's squadron, for having stopped at some Spanish settlement on her passage to Canton, and condemned, vessel and cargo; ship Jefferson, Phillips, of Philad. from Manila, to Canton, was captured by Ad. Drury's squadron and sent to Bombay; ship Pilgrim, Phillips, of Philad. from Manila to Canton, was taken in sight of Moccoa by the Sadrone, and the capt. and 4 men made their escape in the boat. Two American ships from the North-West, while outside, put part of their skins on board some Chinese Junks, and ordered them for Canton, and the ships went off, supposed for Manila; the junks were taken by the English in Moccoa Roads; the skins were principally otter skins, and very valuable; the ships had not returned to know the fate of the junks and their skins when the Projector sailed. The brig Eliza, of Providence, is lost on the Figee Islands; and capt. Cory took passage in the Jenny, which put into some Spanish settlement on her passage to Canton; the inhabitants discovered that capt. Cory was the person that piloted the British fleet into Buenos Ayres; he was taken out and was to be sent to Manila for trial.
About the 24th Sept. Admiral Drury arrived at Moccoa with a few sail of men of war and about 800 Seapoy. The place was immediately surrendered by the Portuguese Governor, and the Admiral took peaceable possession; but very much to the displeasure of the Chinese. Trade was stopped immediately, though upwards of 40 sail of large ships lay waiting to be discharged. Heavy threats on both sides were every day issued, but no fighting by the 29th Dec. The Admiral was fully convinced, of the impossibility of holding possession of Moccoa without making a complete sacrifice of the China trade; the troops were therefore withdrawn.

Poetry.
STANZAS, BY CHARLOTTE RICHARDSON. Written in May, 1808, when under the pressure of severe disease.
Month after month its course has run, Yet still no dawn of hope I see; No more will health's reviving sun Ere thine on me.  Cheerless to me the dawn of day, While sinking 'neath stern sickness' power, Meridian sun or ev'ning grey, Or midnight hour.  For fierce disease his bow has bent, And pierc'd me with his keenest dart, While pain my vital strength has spent, And chill'd my heart.  Beneath his power I strive in vain To balmy rest my eyes to close; From opium's aid alone I gain A short repose.  Oh! when will all those forrows cease, Whose weight o'erpow'rs my fainting breath? When shall this fluttering heart find peace, And be at rest?  Be still my soul, with patience wait, And meekly bear the cha'ing rod; Remember, all thy suffering state Is known to God.  Doubt not his care and tender love Although his dealings seem severe; Strive by affliction to improve, And him revere.  What though disease thy days consume? Soon death will bring a sweet release; And those within the silent tomb Shall rest in peace.  Dust unto dust shall there return; While the immortal soul shall fly, By heav'nly messengers upborn, To God on high.  TO MY LAMP.  Fickle, flitting, wanton flame, Life and you are just the same; Life's inconstant, so are you, And as idly wav'ring too.  Oft I've view'd your blazing spire, Oft I've mark'd Life's nobler fire; Your's with sparkling brightness flies, Life with dazzling brilliance dies.  FOR SALE.

Tickets will rise to 5.50, fifteen days previous to the drawing. Prizes not demanded in one year will not be paid, but be considered as a gratuity to the object of the Lottery. The advantages of this novel scheme as it respects the prize of 2500 to be paid with 500 Tickets must be obvious, as in these may be contained not only the highest prize, but many others and possibly all the capital prizes of the Lottery. It will we presume excite much interest in adventurers, and insure a rapid sale of the Tickets. The Managers will continue to observe the most rigid punctuality in their engagements, and the success they have met with in the two former classes, induces them to hope that the object of the Lottery will soon be attained.

May 22  WORKS OF DR. PALEY.  JOSHUA BELCHER, proposes to publish, by subscription, The Works of the Rev. William Paley, D.D. Archdeacon of Carlisle. With the Life of the Author. In five handsome octavo volumes.  TO THE PUBLIC.  The writings of the late Dr. PALEY have attracted distinguished attention on both sides the Atlantic. His three principal works, Natural Theology, Evidences of Christianity, and Moral and Political Philosophy have been separately published in this country. These, with his Moss Pausanias , in the view of the ingenious author, formed a system, embracing "the evidences of natural religion, the evidences of revealed religion, an account of the duties that result from both." These most interesting topics are illustrated and discussed in these performances with admirable perspicuity and ability. "It is impossible," says one of his biographers, "to pursue what he has written without being the wiser and the better for the perusal of it. He neither hunts after paradoxes, which, like a meteor, serve only to astonish and perplex, nor has he balanced his sentences, and rounded his periods with a fallacious delicacy. His writings are every where characterized by good sense, and unaffected simplicity. It has therefore been very justly remarked, that, that which has distinguished him from all other writers, is the art he possessed of familiarizing knowledge. He has the solidity of a philosopher, without his solemnity and reserve; he has discernment, without his scholastic trappings, and accommodated it to the common understanding."  A conviction of the distinguished merit of Dr. PALEY's publications and of the estimations in which they are held in this country, has prompted to the undertaking, to which the public attention is invited in the above proposals. Now, when the life and labours of this eminent man are, by the will of Providence, closed, it was conceived that many would be desirous of possessing an entire copy of all his publications, printed in an uniform manner, and in a handsome style of execution. This, the editor engages to perform, if suitable encouragement should be given to his proposals. The smaller tracts, which have not had a general circulation in the country, will be found to embrace interesting topics, treated in that perspicuous, easy manner, which distinguishes all the writings of the author. To this edition, also, Memoirs of the author's Life, will be added.   CONTENTS.   I. The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy.  II. A View of the Evidences of Christianity.  III. Natural Theology, or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity collected from the appearances of Nature.  IV. A Charge, delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Carlisle.  V. A Sermon, preached before the University of Cambridge.  VI. A Sermon, preached at the Assizes at Durham.  VII. Sermons, lately published.  VIII. Reasons for Contentment.  IX. Young Christians instructed.  X. Hora Paulina; or the Truth of the Scripture History of St. Paul, evinced by a comparison of the Epistle, which bears his name with the Acts of the Apostles, and with one another.  XI. The Clergyman's Companion.    CONDITIONS.    I. The work will be printed in five handsome octavo volumes, of 500 pages each, on a superfine wove paper, and new type.  II. The price to Subscribers will be D. 2 per volume, neatly united in boards, or D. 2.25 neatly bound, payable on delivery.  III. The work will be put to press as soon as four hundred subscribers are obtained, and finished with dispatch.  IV. Those who subscribe for seven sets, shall receive an eighth gratis.   Subscriptions for the above work received at the Bookstore of ISAAC ADAMS. May 22  TAKE NOTICE!

Miss HONEYWELL, is a Young Lady, born without hands, and with only three toes on one foot. She is not so much a subject of wonder and admiration for her great ingenuity and elegance in embroidering flowers, fit for framing, and in cutting with rich variety and taste gentlemen's watch papers, with the initials of their names, as for the peculiar facility of her disposition and her style of conversation, diffusing gaiety all around her: Indeed, her cheerful and sportively engaging aspect at once dispels those painful sensations which the deprivation of her limbs excites in the sympathizing breasts of her visitors, which give place to the most felicitous impressions resulting in an admiration of the unparalleled good sense and cheerful resignation of this Young Lady to her peculiar lot, which she has rendered, by her persevering industry, spirit and wisdom, a happiness to herself, and a very instructive and consolatory example to the world generally, and to her own sex particularly.
