An Elegy on the death of the Rev. Mr. STILLMAN.
AS full blown Poppies o'ercharch'd with rain, Droop the head & sinking, lose the plain: So sinks the Saint, his beauteous head de- press'd Beneath his pains dear STILLMAN sinks to rest. In the high Heavens now he takes his seat, And humble worship at Immanuel's feet. The waiting seraphs of th' Almighty King, At his arrival loud hosannas sing: His glorious master with his host above: Gives him a Crown—this prize forever wear. Wear it when time, when years are roll'd away; Wear it, my herald, thro' eternity: Wear it when Sea shall be without a shore: Wear it when Suns shall rise and set no more. O blest estate, that now the Saint is in, Stranger to pain, & more estrang'd to sin: His soul's now melting at his Saviour's love, And joins to praise him with the host above: With them he lives, with them he tunes his song, Harmonious themes employ the seraph's tongue: How great the loss to mortals cloth'd in clay, When from earth to heav'n, was snatch'd away! How sweet the words that from his lips did flow, When free salvation he proclaim'd below! In which lov'd task he great enjoyment found, Sweet to the soul was his harmonious sound. To him it was a most divine delight, To point lost sinners to the land of light: To wean them from the things of time and sense, And heavenly blessings to their souls dis- pense. MENTOR.

Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, nor between thy brethren and thy brethren; for we are brethren.
THIS text, my readers will recollect are the words of pious Abraham to his brother Lot. Here, was shown the true spirit of christianity: This confirmed beyond a doubt, that his professions of religion were far from being empty and vain; for, when his property (which is made the idol of so many) was like to be injured, he could calmly say, "If thou wilt take the left hand, then will I go to the right; or if thou wilt depart to the right hand, then will I go to the left." How different the character of many at the present day, who are very zealous christians. It too often happens, that some persons who make great professions of religion do not keep their covenant and sinful affections in proper subjection, but on very trivial occasions suffer passion to get the better of reason, and their sinful natures to take the reins. Hence their "good is evil spoken of."
This is making "ship-wreck of the faith," departing from principles of christianity, and delivering up their bodies, which are the temples of the holy spirit, to the buffetings of Satan. Such things afford matter of triumph to the adversary, while they are stumbling blocks to timid believers. But the evil that I would more especially point at, is the quarrels which frequently happen between professed christians of different denominations, and even members of the same church. As to the first of these, every unprejudiced man will, on the least reflection readily acknowledge, that there may be serious, pious, devout christians as well under one name as another, for it is chimerical to suppose that all men can, while subject to such passions as we all are, ever think or act alike. But the mild religion which we profess, does not justify us in persecuting each other for a trifling difference in the more ceremonial part of worship; and whilst our neighbor agrees with us in the fundamental points of christianity, it is immaterial in what particular way he chooses to perform his religious services. Brethren of the same church or religious society who indulge themselves in quarrelling, ought to see well to it that they be prepared to render an account of the improvement of the light afforded them, and of the opportunity they may have had to improve in all that is good and praiseworthy. Their example in wickedness will tend more to vitiate an already too vicious world, than the example of thousands of dissolute and openly licentious rascals.
It is always better to suffer, than to do wrong, and we should do well to remember that charity is the most noble virtue; therefore, as we are all fallible creatures, let us exercise it towards the failings of others: For "Faith may be lost in sight, Hope, in fruition, but Charity liveth and abideth forever."
Duel—A duel took place lately near Natchez, between Lieutenants Jones and Leonard, both of the Navy. They fired three rounds without injury, but on the fourth Lieut. Leonard received a mortal wound through his body.

GOOD NEWS FOR JACOBINS; Or, a "speck of war" breeding in "the enlightened government of France." In a deposition published in the Albany Crisis of April 9, signed by H. K. Van Rensselaer & S. Van Rensselaer, an account is given of a conversation between them and Mr. Genet, in which they state, that Genet told them, "That his family in Europe had been well provided for by the present King of Holland, and that Bonaparte had already subdued all his enemies in Europe, excepting England and Russia, and he would unquestionably conquer those powers also, and that afterwards, in case the government of the United States did not conduct towards him with more friendship and civility than it had hitherto done, they would next be attacked and subjugated by him."
Extract of a letter from New-Orleans, dated March 8. "Turning to our political situation, I have to congratulate my fellow-citizens on our emancipation from the most abject despotism, under which ever man groaned. This day the battalion of Volunteers is to be discharged from actual service. It is more than probable that the system of terror would have been kept up, yet longer, had we not received the debate in the H. of R. of the U. S. on the bill from the Senate to suspend the Habeas Corpus. Randolph told so many truths, that it struck our General with terror, and he began to relax. You will doubtless be surprised to learn, that in all the illegal arrests that have been made; in all the odious measures adopted, Wilkinson has endeavored to push some one between himself and danger. He has compelled the volunteers to arrest their fellow-citizens; and has constantly deceived and made a cat's paw of the Governor. Folks, (Governor of the East and West Florida,) has fixed his head-quarters at Baton Rouge, where he has between 5 and 600 men, and is actually employed in making preparations for defence, and the report of the day is, that he expects an attack from Commodore Shaw, who is now at Nat. N. with his squadron. But no one can believe that he entertains any such expectation. It is also said, and I am inclined to believe with some truth, that Folks has ordered the dismantling of Pensacola, and is withdrawing all the troops from that place, with the artillery, to Baton Rouge. This conduct of Folks is as inexplicable, as the conduct of our General is mysterious."
The Orleans Gazette of the 23th March says,—We understand that Lieutenant Spence, of the Navy, left this city on the 24th inst. for the City of Washington, under arrest. He is charged by Gen. Wilkinson with having been concerned with Col. Burr; but we feel ourselves warranted in saying, from a knowledge of this promising young officer's character and respectability, that he would be among the last who would volunteer in any enterprise, hostile to the tranquility or derogatory to the honor of his country, or stain in the laurels gathered, by him before the walls of Tripoli, with any treasonable practices in his native land.
The Russian army under the command of Gen. Michelson, it is stated was marching straight to Constantinople, and is already at Georgia, beyond Widdin, where it engaged a Turkish corps, and killed 8000 men, but sustained itself a loss of 3000.—The Turks are preparing for war with as much activity and vigour as so weak a government is capable of.—But long before the preparations are completed the Russians will have overrun the empire, and have fixed their standards on the walls of Constantinople.
APPOINTMENTS. In a list of 31 appointments, by the Senate of the United States are the following:—Beecher Livingston, of Newyork, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the U. S. in the room of Wm. Patterson, deceased.—William Hull, Governor of Michigan, a Commissioner to treat with certain Indian tribes in the vicinity of Detroit.—Michael McClure, of Newhampshire, marshal of N. Hampshire.—John Lovell, of Orleans, who is surveyor of the port of New Orleans, Inspector of the same.—James Lovell, who is surveyor of the port of New Orleans, Inspector of the revenue of the same.—Jeremiah Clarke, of Massachusetts, collector for the district, and inspector of the revenue for the port of York, in Maine.—John B. Dabney, of Massachusetts, Consul for the U. S. at Fayal.—Edward Carrington, of Connecticut, Consul of the U. S. at Canton, in China.
DEATHS.
At Concord, N. H. the Reverend Israel Evans, D. D. and one of the Trustees of Dartmouth College, aged 60.
In Milford, N. H. (drowned) Mr. Joseph Herrick, celebrated as a performer and composer of music.
Drowned. At Kittery, Mr. Samuel Petygrew, jun. As he was ferrying three men across the river, the wind being high, and a heavy sea, overturned the boat. The three persons were saved. Mr. George Lee, one of them, sunk twice before he was taken up, and was apparently dead for an hour. He is now doing well.
Suicide.—In Boston, John Cox, a black man, from C. Francisco—Verdict of the jury, that he killed himself by arsenic.
Miscellany.
The Editor of the People's Friend, speaking of the change in the British Ministry observes, That,
The civilized world could scarcely hear more diabolical tidings, or Bonaparte more propitious, than the change and new arrangement of administration in England, announced in this day's paper.—There could not be culled out of the population of Great Britain, a set of men so well calculated to stand the dreadful tug of the times, to support the tottering independence of the world, to press back the enormous tyrant of the earth, to promote the happiness and true interests of that empire, and at the same time to extend ample justice & liberality to all other states, as the men who have for some time, so successfully for Europe, and so honourably to themselves, wielded the powers of Britain.—So these can't be picked out a set so well qualified to bring ruin and disgrace on it and to call back all the curses of discontent and disaffection than those who are to come in, as it is said, in their places, with the exception of the Duke of Portland, there is not one of those names who is not signal either for his weakness, worthlessness, or corruption. In a word, this new cabinet is made up of all that was bad, without and atom of what was good in the old administration. While that which goes out to make way for it, is composed of the old patriotic whig families and connections—the descendants of the Ruffells, the Cavendishes, and those who bled for British freedom, these now coming in are the court spawn of the But-Junto and their new made minions. Good God! Melville!! Castlereagh!! Dundas!! Men who bro't Britain to the verge of ruin, in the places of Fitzwilliam, Windham, Grenville, and the Fox connections—those men who in the short administration of a few months, turned the tide of European affairs, and made hope brighten on "the crest of England, of Ireland, and of that whole quarter of the globe. The new Cabinet are the very identical persons to whom Burke alluded in the following poignant and vigorous satirical statement of facts in his "Regicide Peace."
"The creatures of the desk, and the creatures of favour, had no relish for the principles of the Manifestoes. They promised no governments, no regiments, no revenues whence emoluments might arise by perquisite or by grant. In truth, the tribe of vulgar politicians are the lowest of our species. There is no trade so vile and mechanical as government in their hands. Virtue is not their habit. They are out of themselves in any sense of conduct recommended only by correct view of the interests of States, passes with them for romance, and the principles that recommend them for the wanderings of a disordered imagination. The calculators compare them out of their senses. The jettisons and buffoons shame them out of every thing grand and elevated. Little men in object & in means, to them appears foundness & sobriety. They think there is nothing worth pursuit, but that which they can handle: which they can measure with a two foot rule; which they can stuff upon ten fingers."
It is our firm opinion that if George the Third were to send a Carter-blanch to Napoleon, leaving to him and Talleyrand to select an administration answerable to their views, these arch fiends of cunning and wickedness could not pitch upon any more likely to be instrumental to their advantage.—Indeed it is probable that, with the exception of the Duke of Portland, they would chuse these very men.
We are almost convinced that this country will find no favor with the new men—and that the Treaty refused by Mr. Jefferson will be cancelled. The means which should go to carrying on the war will be defalcated and frittered away by official peculation.—We know that there is not among them (if they were ever so honest) vigour, genius, or magnanimity for the times. To adopt the words of Burke in his speech on American taxation—they might do well enough "as long as things went on in their common order—but when the high roads are broken up, and the waters out, when a new and troubled scene is opened, and the file affords no precedent" (and such are the present times) they are but mere, mere drudges of office without virtue, without honor, without efficacy.
FROM THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
There is a subject to which we wish to call the attention of the American people of all parties, and which more deeply interests them, and is likely more sensibly to affect them than the result of any of their internal political concerns, or party struggles for power.
A daily paper published at Philadelphia and long considered the most infamous that ever disgraced a civilized country, has been observed for years by us and for some time past by the people of both parties to be conducted in a manner which shewed that under pretence of being the paper of a party in this country, its real but hidden object was the diffusion of opinions, and the propagation of doctrines of a kind the most
detestable and dangerous imaginable. Every day that has passed has served to open the eyes of the party on which it assumes to range itself to that truth—For some of the deepest and most penetrating said they were at a loss to conjecture what the editor of that paper would be at—Every revolution of the sun has thrown a light upon his black designs—and his utter disregard of the censure of his party, of the loss of their support, and of his abandonment by his col-league editors, demonstrates that he must have had some motives distinct from theirs—some support independent of them. The democratic papers, with few exceptions, renounced his politics and openly condemned his conduct. Was it upon account of the malignity of the wretch?—No—they always know him to be so.—Was it for his unparalleled calumnies upon the best men?—No—they walked along with him when he did the same.—Nor yet for his fall-hoods or filthy low black-guardism—No. Then upon what account?—Why because they perceived that he was aiming at disorganizing the country in the manner and upon the principles of the Jacobins of France—and because they perceived that he must be an agent of France.
No sooner had Mr. Cheetham declined republishing that pernicious series of atrocity and parricide "Politics for farmers and Mechanics" than the editor of the Aurora sets up in Newyork a paper grafted on his own for the propagation of opinions, conducive to the purposes of Napoleon—and which under his auspices and tuition labours to divide the people. In the small town of Richmond in Virginia there were no less than three papers; two of these were democratic, but they did not answer the damnable purposes of the Aurora—then what follows?—A paper is set up there, also, which begins by copying all that the Aurora publishes.
These circumstances taken together with the eternal panegyric of Napoleon—the exultation at his successes—and the incessant abuse of England, and heart predictions of her downfall, which fill the Aurora must lead to a perfect conviction of the purposes of the person alluded to.
But there is another and a still more damning one. The Aurora itself, not to talk of its filthy spawn in Newyork, has not fair paying subscribers or advertisements to half support it. Myriads are printed and distributed, but not desired or paid for by the persons who receive them. Can the editor of the Aurora spare many thousand dollars to please his fancy in politics—No—it would be an affront to the public's judgment to suppose that they believed so.
But time will do the business—it will purge the film from the eyes of the people of America, and expose the purposes of their enemies. The sources which supply the Aurora and its young ones, will be cut off—and
all the wicked designs of those who set them in motion will be frustrated. For our parts we desire for them no farther punishment—For who can with a villain a greater curse than the disappointment of his schemes, and the company of his own conscience.
Col. Burr.—The democratically papers, as usual, are proceeding to pass sentence upon Burr, as a proper measure preparatory to his trial. The Aurora pronounces him to be a "culprit," an "acknowledged criminal," and declares that "whatever may be the result of his intended trial, he can never stand higher in the opinion of his country, than a conspirator against its peace, unity, and prosperity."
Such is the language which is held respecting a man who is awaiting what ought to be a fair and impartial trial before the highest tribunal of his country, and such are the attempts which are making in all the democratic papers to excite prejudice in the minds of the people, a portion of whom must be called upon to decide ultimately upon his guilt or innocence. We will not fail to lift up our voice continually against such indecent and flagitious conduct. It goes to sap the very foundations of all justice and all security. Every man, even the basest of democratic criminals is entitled to a fair and impartial trial; and (difficult as the presumption may be) should be presumed innocent till his guilt be proved. We sincerely believe Burr to be a very bad man: we believe so of every man who has made as conspicuous a figure as he in the democratic politics of the country. He has done many things that deserve punishment and one, at least, that is worthy of death. He may be guilty of the crimes now alledged against him. If so, we sincerely hope that he will be punished to the full extent of his deserts. But in order that such punishment may have a salutary effect upon society, it is indispensable that his trial and conviction should be the result of fair and impartial investigation, not of factious clamour and violence.—U. S. Gaz.
SALEM, April 27 We hear from Canada, that measures are adopted to get their new neighbor Burroughs into custody. After having set at defiance the laws of the United States, and having suffered several disgraceful punishments, he dared to publish a history of his own life, in which he could laugh at his own vices, and venture to corrupt the public mind, by lessening the dread of guilt, and the terror of the laws. When the public indulgence had done every thing for him, and he had escaped from every hope he rather chose to change countries, than reform his manners. And he had no sooner gained confidence enough, to act out his true character, than he began to furnish facts for a second part of his true history. The Canadians intend this part of his history shall be a short one, and condign punishment will be its lot if discovered in that country. So hard is it to trifle with vice and forsake it. And so insulting does vice abuse the lenity with which it is treated.

G. BRITAIN.
LONDON, MARCH 23, 1807.
One of the French Bulletins, it will be recollected, stated, that three thousand Russian Prisoners had been released by a thousand Kosacks, at Wiltenberg; but not a word has since been said, where these Kosacks came from—how they passed by Savary's corps; or what became of the French guards, &c. No matter—three thousand of Gen. "Bulletin's" prisoners are thus accounted for!—The 24 cannon taken by the same General at Eylau, are to be melted down to make a statue for General La foute—thus they will be accounted for.
The 64th bulletin tells of Bonaparte's being on the field of battle, several days after the affair at Eylau, shuddering at the horrid sights which it afforded—"4 spectacle" the bulletin adds, "calculated to inspire Princes with the love of Peace, and the horror of War." And it might also have added, to make Bonaparte seriously inquire, "What brought him thither?"—Perhaps the sight did inspire him with thought of the necessity of peace; and was the cause of his retreat towards the Vistula.
The Saxon contingent furnished to the French army, have reinforced the corps under Marshal Lefebvre.
The French army in Poland, and particularly in East Prussia, continued to be reinforced with French conscripts, and the contingents furnished by the States forming the Confederation of the Rhine. On the other hand, the Russians continued to receive numerous reinforcements from the interior.
The English goods seized in Hamburg are said to exceed two millions and an half of dollars.
The King and Queen of Prussia were at Memel, at the last dates.
Though the bulletins mention that Prussia has lost a piece of cannon in Prussia, or Poland, yet whoever will view our arsenals, will find that all the cannon he had in Egypt are now in our possession.
BERLIN, MARCH 3.
The Prussian Lts. Frederick Doher and George Wilhelmi, have been sentenced to death for being found with arms in their hands fighting against the French, when at liberty on their patrol.
Leipsick, Feb. 27.
A regiment has been raised here to which the Emperor Napoleon has given the name of "First Prussian Regiment of Infantry in the service of France."

PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 20.
British Naval operations in India.
Capt. Vicary, from Batavia, has furnished, from his private journal, the following particulars of British Naval Operations in India.—On the 18th Oct. 1806, the British frigate Caroline, of 36 guns, Capt. Ranier, came into Batavia roads, and after having taken two small Dutch vessels, attacked and took the Dutch frigate Maria Reygersburg, of 44 guns.—Capt. Ranier, did not fire a gun until within half pistol shot of his enemy, nor did he pay the smallest attention to the fire from the shore and the other Dutch ships; most of which slipped their cables, and ran ashore. None of the American ships received any injury, though the shot flew very thick amongst them. On the 27th November, alarm guns were fired at Oursul; shortly after an English squadron appeared in sight; immediately silenced the fort at Oursul, and took possession of it, and a corvette lying there.—All the Dutch ships, and one Prussian, slipped their cables and ran ashore. The Powerful, of 74 guns, Capt. Plampin, chased to the eastward, and the
Sea-flower brig, of 14 guns, chased some Dutch ships from Samarang. The English line of battle then came in, as follows:—Terpsichore, 32 guns, Capt. Lye, Culloden 74, Rear-Admiral Sir Ed. Pellew, Drake, Capt. Pellew, Russell 74, Capt. Caulfield, Belliqueux 64, Capt. Byng, and a corvette and brig, captured the day before. The English squadron then came to anchor, in proper stations, and commenced a heavy cannonade on the fort and stranded ships and at two o'clock the boats of the fleet were manned, and sent in, under cover of the fire of the ships to burn the vessels, which was effected with very little loss.
Dutch National vessels burnt.
Frigate Phoenix, 32 guns. Brig Adventurier, 20 guns. Brig Zeaploeg, 14 guns. Company's ships. Frigate Arnelteyn, force unknown, Ship Patriot, 18 guns, Brig Ceres, and Brig Snelheyd.
Private ships.
Snips, Dongzoombayd; East-Indian, and Zuider Pols (Prussian) and four or five others, names unknown. On the east side of the Andromeda and Debora, two fine Java ships and another large ship, were also burnt.
Towards evening the firing ceased.—During the night the sky was awfully illuminated by the blaze of 18 large ships; and the blowing up of several of them, when the fire reached their magazines, added to the grandeur of the scene.
The next day they burned at Oursul, the Zeablower and Beschemer, Dutch East-Indiamen.
FROM A NASSAU PAPER.
Received at the Office of the Register.
NASSAU, N. P. April 6.—The Mediator frigate, of 32 guns, capt. Wise, arrived at Port Royal, Jam. on the 4th March, from a cruise. On the 13th ult. in the Mona Passage, she fell in with La Bacchante, of 20 guns, capt. Dacres, and off Cape Sumana, on the 14th, they descried a sail, on which they immediately went in pursuit, and after 4 hours chase came up with and captured her when she proved to be the national schr. Dolphin, of one long 12 pounder and two sixes, which they threw overboard, in endeavoring to escape. It was understood from her crew, that she had a few days before taken the British schooner Lovely Lass, Rodgers, from New York bound to this island, and the American ship George Washington, from Cape François to Savanilla Bay. Captain Dacres, on receiving this information, immediately determined to make for that port, and endeavor to cut them out.—On the 18th they arrived abreast of the fort, when the Dolphin was immediately manned with seamen and marines from the frigates, and the command of her given to the first lieut. of La Bacchante, with directions to state, on being hailed from the battery, that she was a national schr. with two prizes (the Bacchante and Mediator being disguised as such.) The enemy, however, soon discovered the imposition, and opened a heavy fire upon our vessels, which was as briskly returned, and after four hours engagement, they were seen flying in all directions, the battery being totally demolished. Captain Wise then landed and spiked several guns, and threw the remainder into the sea, took possession of the Lovely Lass, and George Washington, with 3 French schooners, all of which came into port with her. La Bacchante, parted company the day after the attack.
The Mediator had four men killed and twelve wounded, four of whom, we are sorry to add, were obliged to undergo amputation.
NEWBURYPORT, APRIL 23.
From BERMUDA, April 9.
"Several vessels with their cargoes have recently been condemned; in fact, since they have received the account that the American treaty with England is not favourably received, it has had great effect with the judge, and indeed, he condemns almost every thing that is worth having. Their cruizers send in all they can find. There are now here 14 sail of Americans, detained and condemned."
It is stated by a gentleman, who left Kingston, (Ja.) 17th March, that eight French privateers, from Cuba, were cruising off that island, for the purpose of capturing vessels, alleging that the Decree of Bonaparte, placed all the British islands in a state of blockade. Several American vessels, he adds, had been boarded by them, but not having cargoes of value, they were dismissed, with the loss only of a part of their provisions, cordage, sails, &c.
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
MR. ADAMS,
YOU are requested to give publicity to the following Democratic Circular, which was intended for those only who are in the secrets of the Democratic Junto, in this county. It shows the secret and insidious means that are employed to impose on the honest and unsuspecting part of the community; for the democrats have constantly represented every thing of this kind as being repugnant to republican principles, when, at the same time, they were authors of these things themselves. Previous to the election in 1806, the Argus published a circular letter to the federalists, as a wonderful discovery. It was wittily termed the "Cat out of the Bag;" and declared to be plenary evidence that all the federalists were "old tories," "monarchists," &c. &c. and the writers in the Argus, heaped every base and malignant remark on the gentlemen who signed the circular, that malice or meanness could invent. It is unnecessary to publish their observations; they are fit only to occupy the polluted columns of the Eastern Argus.
As opportunity will permit, I propose to offer some strictures on this famous Circular, alias, "Cat in a strange garret;" and also, pay the homage of my high respects to the gentlemen whose names are affixed. It will be idle for any one to say the signatures are not real—their hand writing is as well known as their faces.
I ask, Whence comes all this zeal for promoting the democratic cause? A democrat will say, it springs from the purest and most disinterested patriotism, and their love of the people; but, on looking at the signers of this address, I find that most of them have had their reward in the possession of fat offices, through favor of the powers that be. The others will in due time probably come in for their share of the loaves & fishes. Mr. Mussey was appointed by Mr. Jefferson as one of the Commissioners of Bankruptcy. Mr. Ilesley was appointed by Mr. Jefferson, Collector of the Customs in Portland, with a salary much larger than that of the Governor's of this state. Mr. Wingate is Postmaster, by the appointment of the president's "man Giddy." Mr. Lincoln is a "lawyer," and son to Lieutenant Governor Lincoln elect: his name to a circular urging the electors to vote for his father is a very modest thing, upon my word. After this, I leave it to the electors to determine how far public or private views have operated in this business. NO OFFICE SEEKER.
UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.
Portland, March 17, 1807.
GENTLEMEN, ONE more struggle awaits you. Be vigilant, be firm, and persevering and the victory is yours. The recovery of freedom will be accomplished. The liberty of the state will be rescued from the toils of her treacherous usurpers. Massachusetts, too long estranged from her first love, will be restored to harmony with the Union; and remain no longer, an example of disaffection to the general government. Strenuous exertion will be necessary to effect it. Let an effort be made and success will crown the event. The people have been deluded, and lulled into perilous confidence of security, by the artifices, & specious pretences of their deceivers. They awaken before their locks are shorn; & brake the Strong bands, with which they were unwarily bound. They have destroyed the body of aristocracy, in our state government. Our present Legislature is republican. The palsied head must perish also, and fall from its unmerited eminence. Recollecting the hardships and dangers they suffered, the difficulties they surmounted, the expence of blood and treasure they sustained in effecting their emancipation from the thralldom of tyranny, and securing the independence of America; the freemen of Massachusetts will disdain the meanness, that cringed to the vile minion of royal authority; and will spurn the dastardly traitor, who
could most loyally address, and humbly petition the clemency and favor of a petty, deputy, sub-tyrant, betray his country and shrink from the encounter of her foes. They will remember with indignation and resentment his wicked attempt, to deprive them of their elective franchise, and usurp their dearest privilege; and will withhold their confidence from the man who dared not to vindicate their rights; and their treasures from him, who has endeavoured to dispose them.
At a meeting of Republican Citizens from the several counties of the commonwealth, at Boston, it was unanimously resolved, that the Hon. JAMES SULLIVAN, of Boston, should be held up and supported at the ensuing election, as the Republican Candidate for Governor, and the Hon. LEVI LINCOLN, of Worcester, for Lieutenant-Governor. Their integrity, talents and services recommend them to the suffrages of their fellow-citizens. Their zeal in the cause of their country, their characters, their principles, and the whole tenor of their past lives designate them, as suitable guardians of the public interests. Their honor, their attachments, connections, families and fortunes, are pledges for their fidelity.
Hon. LEVI HUBBARD and JAMES MEINS, are selected to represent this District in the Senate of the Commonwealth. The well known ability and correctness of sentiment, the inflexible firmness and faithfulness of these gentlemen, well deserve the high estimation and trust of their fellow citizens.
Republican Brethren,
If you appreciate the blessings which you enjoy; if you would augment, continue, and preserve them; be diligent be alert, be resolute. Your own interest requires it of you. The public safety claims it. Posterity demands it.—On this election much depends. The event is within your control. Let not this opportunity be lost by remissness. If you succeed, union and harmony will prevail. If you fail, dissention and strife, calumny, slander and contention, will continue.
It is important that a full representation should be sent from every Republican town, to counterbalance the Aristocracy of the Metropolis, and to ensure a Republican majority in the General Court. It will be the policy and the endeavour of the opposite party to prevent this. It will be objected to, as unnecessary, inconvenient and burthensome. Beware of their treachery. They seek advantages in your inattention.
Let there be a Committee of Elections established in every town; Let a particular section be assigned to each member; Let every Republican Voter be ascertained, and urged to the polls.—A single suffrage may determine the Election.
Be pleased, Gentlemen, to receive assurances of our consideration and respect.
JOHN MUSSEY, ISAAC ILSLEY, JAMES WINGATE, DAN. W. LINCOLN, ELIJAH ELDER. } Committee

From the New-York Mercantile Advertiser, April 27.
LATE REPORT.—A passenger in the Augusta, 32 days from Bordeaux, informs us, that six hours before the vessel left the river, he was on board the French frigate Penelope, laying in Verdun Roads, whose boat had just returned from Bordeaux, with intelligence of letters being just received from Paris, stating, that the telegraph announced, that the French Army had surrendered, and was about to take possession of Konigsberg.
Commerce between America and England.—On the 14th of February, there were in the port of Liverpool 137 vessels belonging to the United States. Yet the democrats are constantly embarrassing the commercial intercourse between the two countries, and say that our trade with Great Britain ought to be stopped.
Weather.—For a fortnight past, a state of weather has been experienced which was perhaps never known before in this part of the country, the wind has uniformly been from the eastward and southward, accompanied with large quantities of rain, and a part of the time with severe lightning and thunder.
We learn the Mail Stage from this town to Portsmouth, was struck with lightning in Wells. The following particulars are communicated by capt. Lewis M'Millan, (who was a passenger in the stage, at the time the accident took place) in a letter, dated York, April 30th, to Mr. Paine:
"This day we left Kennebunk, and were proceeding on our way to Portsmouth. After passing Maxwell's Inn, in Wells, there came on a violent storm of rain, accompanied by incessant thunder and lightning. About three miles from Maxwell's the lightning struck our carriage, knocked down the whole team of four horses, and threw the driver nearly ten feet from his
seat, and laid him senseless on the ground. The lightning passed through the glass board side into the after part of the carriage, under the seat where we were sitting, which very much stunned and confused us. We got immediately out of the stage, and finding the driver recovered from the shock, turned our attention to the horses, three of whom we found lifeless: the other we succeeded in getting upon his feet, which soon recovered. I am inclined to believe that the metallic substance which we had in the carriage, produced the attraction of the Electric fluid: as it struck the coach & ground near it were struck, and no tree, altho' many very near us."
In Newyork the democrats play off the same slang about "Old Tories" which has been practiced by their brothers in this state, with success, previous to the election of State officers. The Ticket for Representatives for the city of Newyork, nominated by the federalists is composed of men distinguished for services in the revolutionary war and those who deservedly rank, with the first political characters in the country, which is termed the American Ticket. Yet these men are denounced as old tories; in reply to which the Editor of the Evening Post asks the following question:
Which is the Tory Ticket?—Conspicuous on the American Ticket stands the name of General Matthew Clarkson, who was a gallant officer in the revolutionary army which gave us independence. Conspicuous on the opposite ticket, and its chief support stands the name of Thomas Farmer, who during the same war, stuck close to his chimney corner guarded by a British Protection. On the same ticket too is the name of James Warner, who, I have been frequently told, was a sergeant in the British lines, and wore a red coat during the same revolution—but on further inquiry I am induced to believe it was only his brother Cornelius Warner. At any rate it lies between them. Which then is the American and which the Tory Ticket?—Answer electors.
COMMUNICATION.
THE author of the piece, entitled the Card, and published in the Argus of the 23d April, is informed that he is well known and despised by all parties, without any exceptions whatever. It is recommended to him that he had much better attend to his private concerns, than to descend to such mean, lowly, dirty, piddling work, as he makes a practice of employing himself about, such, for instance, as that of creating disturbances in villages, societies, and neighbourhoods. It is respectfully suggested to him, that it would be much more for his credit, if he instead of ridiculing the minister, putting all the wrong constructions upon what he says, imaginable, and even ridiculing the looks, dress and actions of his superiors, trying to prejudice the people's minds against the minister and a large majority of his hearers—should pay due attention to what he hears from the pulpit, and always bear it in mind, he would find it greatly for his benefit, through all the scenes of life. He is requested not to meddle quite so much with the affairs of preachers of the gospel, but to attend more closely to his own private concerns, and he may rest assured that no person will condescend to intermeddle with his affairs.—He is advised to drop all pretensions, to the duties of the office of a preacher of the gospel, as it is well known that he has used every effort to render himself suitable for a teacher, but found that his abilities were not adequate, and was obliged to try some other method for his subsistence. He may rely upon it that his views and pretensions for public office are well known and thoroughly despised by all grades of society—therefore, his character and manner of behaviour are such, in the minds of people in general, that he is thought quite unworthy of their NOTICE.
FOR THE GOOD OLD CAUSE.
WE are requested by a Correspondent to nominate
WILLIAM WEBB, ESQ. as a suitable candidate for a Representative for Bath, at the ensuing election.—This Gentleman we are assured possesses every qualification to perform the duties of this office with honor to himself and usefulness to the state.—At a time when talents and worth are so much wanted, we hope the electors of Bath, who have so lately evinced their regard for the GOOD OLD CAUSE, will now be equally solicitous to secure the election of one of its best friends.
The Supreme Judicial Court concluded its session in Worcester, last week. The presentment to the Grand Jury of the Editor of the Worcester Spy, for publishing an alleged libel on the Honourable Legislature of this Commonwealth, was acted upon: but, contrary to the wishes of Democrats, a bill could not be found against him!
Letters from the Southward say, that Mr. Granger, Postmaster General, will speedily resign his office. The objection to this New Englandman is, that he is not sufficiently Anglo for a Virginia administration.

Married. In Ireland, Mr. Lees, of Dublin, to the Countess Annessy. The history of this lady is rather interesting. At an early age she married a man in the humble station of a gardener, and afterwards entered into the happy state again with a private in the Devonshire militia, commanded by the late earl of Annessy, still a compassionate admirer of beauty, though long past the grand climacteric; his Lordship was captivated by glances from the eye of this beautiful female; her husband's promotion followed of course. In a short time after the lady appeared Pallas-like, in military costume, the helmet on her head, the lance in its crest and her vest the uniform of the regiment. The most eminent masters were employed to cultivate her mind, and improve the natural graces of her person; and she is now the most beautiful, accomplished and amiable woman; after her marriage with the late earl, she had two sons.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaiming on its virtues he becomes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united. Instead, therefore, of judging illiberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the result of their matured reflections. DENNISON'S Improved Jaundice Bitters; OR THE Grand Antibilious Corrective. The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, costiveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowness is by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinged the urine, and whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy. A discharge by urine is considered by the most learned of the profession, as a means for a length of time to preserve the life of the patient. That by an evacuation of bilious matter, the system may be freed from the bad consequences which ensue on its stagnation in the habit; to accomplish which desirable effect, and to correct and prevent the putridity of bile, a better medicine than here described, has never been discovered. They are particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; expel wind in the easiest manner, without immoderate heating or inflaming the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, listlessness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. They possess moreover the property, peculiar to themselves, of qualifying and ameliorating those inflammatory pernicious qualities, inherent in ardent spirits and so often fatal when taken upon an empty stomach, and converts them into a wholesome, pleasant and invigorating stomachic. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for sea-faring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epcuries and bon vivants who wish for a delicious and delicate preparation for the appetite he best companion at the festive board.
