From the New-Jersey TRUE AMERICAN.
To THE PEOPLE CALLED
Quakers,
Worthy the perusal, however, of every Individual.
My respected Friends & Fellow-Citizens, IN a former paper I attempted to show in what manner you have been deceived by those who told you, that the principles and acts of Mr. Adams were similar to those of Gen. Washington. This assertion was proved to be false, by stubborn facts and incontrovertible evidence. You have not been less deceived in another manner, in which your own love of peace and tranquility has been called in to aid your deception. You have been repeatedly told, that the partisans of Mr. Adams were the only "Friends of Order and good Government;" and that the supporters of Mr. Jefferson were Disorganizers and friends to Anarchy and Confusion. The belief of these assertions, led many of you to support men and approve measures, which you would not have done had you been truly informed. But lay aside all prejudice, every improper bias, and let us candidly enquire—Whence do the Partisans of the late Administration derive their title of "Friends of Order and good Government?"
Is it derived from their open and insidious attempts to involve this country in a war with France, which one of them publicly declared ought to be "a war of extermination," in which every MAN, WOMAN and CHILD of America should be armed against the men, women, and children of France?
Is it from their attempts to annihilate our Constitution "by a few bold strokes," which one of their Members in Congress confessed?
Is it from the passage by their party in Congress of several unconstitutional, unjust, and oppressive laws?
Is it from the persecutions, fines, and imprisonments, which several worthy, industrious, and peaceable citizens suffered, merely for expressing their opinions candidly of public men and measures?
Is it from their raising a standing army to over-awe the people, suppress investigation, fight duels, game, drink, rob hen-roosts, abuse women, insult men, or whip them in the public market place, [as they did at Easton] or burst into houses, knock down and beat all who come in their way, and threaten instant death to all who offer resistance, (as in Philadelphia) or to assail peaceable and unarmed citizens with naked swords (as at Elizabeth town) or to bake their soldiers in an oven (as at Bristol)?
Is it from their scouring the country to destroy the insignia of Liberty poles and caps, which are at least innocent?
Is it from their delivering up, to be hung at a British yard-arm, a man who had escaped from on board a British man of war, where he had been long compelled, against inclination and conscience, to assist in
capturing and plundering the vessels of his own country and her allies—and who solemnly made oath, and offered to prove, were time allowed him, that he was a native-born citizen of America?
Is it from their conduct in this State where they threatened to convey all their political opponents (whom they contemptuously stiled a degraded and deluded few) to the lines of an invading enemy?
Is it from the vast addition to the national debt of several millions of dollars, and increase of the public burthens by a new tax on houses & lands, on paper, an additional duty on salt, &c. which took place during the late administration?
Is it from their frauds and speculations on the public money, to the amount of millions, drawn from the hard earnings of the industrious farmers, mechanics, tradesmen, and others?
Is it from their setting fire to the Treasury Office, as soon as they found they must resign their places, to prevent the new administration from developing and exposing their frauds and speculations, of which the official documents would, if not destroyed, furnish demonstrative evidence?
Is it from their unceasing and unqualified abuse, public and private, by tongue and by pen, of every man, however eminent his services or amiable his character, whose political opinions do not accord with their own?
Is it from their calumniating and slandering Mr. JEFFERSON, on whose reputation neither malice or envy can fix a stain?
Is it from their attempt to defeat the will of the people, after that will was universally known and fully understood, in the election of a Chief Magistrate; which conduct had nearly wrapt the country in the flames of civil war?
Is it from their uniform opposition to every measure of the new administration, though dictated by wisdom and sanctioned by justice?
Are these, and such as these, the claims the partisans of Mr. ADAMS have to the imposing title of "Friends of Order and good Government"? And with these and such as these, FACTS staring you full in the face, can you give them your suffrages and support in preference to those who have borne all their insults, oppressions and violence, with calmness and fortitude, and returned them good for evil?
If you will divest yourselves of all unjust prepossession, and with minds open to conviction, examine minutely, reflect maturely, and decide uprightly—I think I may venture to predict, without a hazard of contradiction from the event, that you will acknowledge the Republicans to have been uniformly and generally, with a few exceptions, the real friends of Order, of Good Government, of Peace, of Economy, and of the Constitution and the Laws.
Friends and Fellow-Citizens, proceed in this examination, and if I have leisure I will lend you my

further feeble assistance. I repeat, I do not want your conversion till you are convinced; nor do I ask your belief one word further than I am found in the paths of truth.--- And may the SPIRIT OF ALL TRUTH assist your researches, and lead you to support men who have the welfare of their country and the happiness of their fellow-creatures at heart.
A Friend to Peace, Liberty, and the Constitution.
FROM THE BOSTON CHRONICLE.
OLD-SOUTH—No. XLVI.
TO THE YOUNG MEN.
BY the most unaccountable fatality, those who assumed the name of Federalists , acquired an influence over the minds of the Young American Citizens . A system of terror was so generally established, that fear operated too powerfully for restraint. Political questions were not considered upon the ground of disquisition, but the adoption of particular tenets was enforced with a species of inquisitorial intolerance. If a Young Man dared to exercise his judgment, or to hesitate in subscribing to the infallibility of certain dogmas, he was denounced under all that severity attached to the character of a disorganizer and jacobin. He was pursued in every direction with a malignity of temper, which threatened his ruin in business and personal reputation. An implacability of disposition was encouraged between citizens, and even the social intercourse was dissolved wherever a difference in political sentiments prevailed.
In this state of controversy, we cannot be surprised that the Young Men were borne down by the deluge of their opponents. To stem the torrent, required not only an energy of mind, but firmness of nerve. Personal safety in some instances was connected with political belief, as the Bully would oftentimes become more formidable than an Orator —the brawny arm of a Desperado would threaten to level an antagonist, when the tongue of a Lawyer would make but little impression.
But, thank Heaven, the clouds of delusion are dissipating; the period has arrived when each class of men can exercise their reason, and be guided by their unbiased judgment. We can now speak unawed by the threats of a Junto , who have too long claimed a prerogative to controul both public and private opinion; we are restored to our ancient privileges, and each citizen stands in that dignified attitude peculiarly adapted to his situation in a republican government. We are now "all Republicans," we are now "all Federalists," as the system in which we move gives every man an equal right in society; there are no exclusive Republicans or Federalists , as it respects the privilege of judging; nor any partial law to arraign one set of opinions before the tribunal of vindictive judges. There remains however a small convulsion (excited by the infuriated passions of some disappointed men) yet, as it relates to the community at large, the hurricane has subsided, though from its tail a few gusts occasionally explode.
I have, in a previous number, reminded you, my Young Friends , of the proceedings of the Merchants of Boston , on the arrival of a few British Factors , in the year 1785. At their meeting, they solemnly declared, that "the residence of such Factors , threatened an entire monopoly of all British importations in the hands of such agents, and would eventually deprive the industrious American trader of every benefit of our Commerce." If, at this period, the introduction of British Factors , was so destructive to the Commerce of this country, what may be your apprehensions under the British Treaty ? If it was then considered "ruinous to the American Trade," that such Factors should reside among us, what must be the consequence when they have a right by Treaty, not only to reside, but "to purchase stores, houses, and shops," to "remain without limitation of time," to continue among us should we even be "in open rupture with England ," and, to complete the whole, provided their conduct should be such as to render them "suspected as being enemies to the country," have a right by Treaty, to remain "twelve months," before they can be removed, and during this period of their enmity, are to enjoy every commercial privilege and advantage, equally with our own citizens. As a proof of this, examine the 14th and 26th article of the British Treaty .
These being facts, let us pause for a moment, and reflect on the strange conduct of men, who deprecated the temporary residence of such Factors in 1785, and yet at the time of the Treaty , in 1795, were disposed to give these same persons such an uncontrollable monopoly of our commerce! Ten years, it is suspected, have as effectually changed their sentiments, as they respect their private interest, as their present situation has altered the objects by which it is promoted. They
were then attentive to Commerce , they are now desirous of Revenue ; they were then living on Trade , they are now living on Banks and Funds . It makes no odds to them, whether a strolling Scotchman or Englishman supports them, or an industrious Young Citizen of Boston ; they care not, whether a Fellow-Citizen is the importer, (who has paid hundreds in taxes towards the maintenance of the town,) or an Alien , who never paid a farthing. Whether the Young American is the forester , or a Briton the master of a store, is but of little consequence to them; give them their quarterly payments , and they are perfectly satisfied.
The foregoing observations are the true state of this business, and though they may be at present unnoticed, depend on it a few years will evidence the fact. Our Young Men will feel the effects of their duplicity, and those who have injured them will hereafter "mock at their calamity, and laugh when their fear cometh."
This catastrophe will sensibly touch the tender feelings of the American Ladies ; when they find a clan of Factors , undermining the occupations of their Husbands , and obliging them to retract their expenses within the narrow compass of a Scotch Factor . When they find such vendors purchasing a store, previously occupied by an American , and living in the garret in the most penurious manner, while retailing those commodities, on the sale of which many of our own citizens depend for a maintenance. Such persons are an injury even to the PURCHASERS —for though they may for the present sell cheaper than our own merchants, yet after they have monopolized the whole business by impoverishing others, and discouraging them from importing British manufactures, will finally take advantage of their exclusive trade by an advance of 10 or 20 per cent.
Viewing this business even as it respects the Revenue , it is greatly against the government of the United States . A man who is a stranger, may not be governed by those cautionary principles in his entries at the custom-house, as generally influence our own citizens; a point of honor, as it respects his private reputation, will naturally lead the latter to a just estimate of his invoice; but the former, knowing that his residence is but temporary, calculates more upon the benefit he may obtain by defrauding the Revenue , than the character he may sustain in consequence of his integrity.
The foregoing observations are plain truths, though the manner of expressing them may be considered as uncourteous. If propriety is essential to respectability, and if a man destitute of "a second skin" is an object of disgust, certain it is, that a subject which contemplates the tendency of British Factors in America , is worthy the attention of those who are immediately involved in its consequences. The Man who raised a laugh in the Old-South Meeting-House , on the suggestion of another's poverty, though he may have flattered the Young Men into an adoption of the Treaty , may, (when the stern hand of penury reduces them to the same extremity) treat you with equal indignity; and possibly at some future day, when surrounded by British minions , will excite their mirth at your credulity and misfortune.
As the British Faction in America exult at the pretended advantages gained by England over Russia (as an apology for our defeated Treaty ) I shall in my next number, compare the Treaty between those two nations, with that between America and Britain . The comparison will show the fallacy of Federal reasoning , both as it respects America and Russia ; for the fact is, Russia has obtained every advantage over England in the late controversy; while the United States have basely sacrificed every neutral privilege by that "accursed thing" emphatically called the British Treaty .
OLD-SOUTH.
To the Editor of the RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN.
Sir,
THOUGH the human heart, by being long inured to iniquity, may in a great measure become callous to the impressions of conscience; yet the worst of men cannot altogether stifle the voice of that faithful monitor, with all their artifices to soothe the anxiety arising from their guilty doings; they are perpetually haunted with gloomy terrors; and whilst surrounded with external pomp and festivity, are inwardly tormented with the gnawing of that worm, which dieth not. Their peace of mind is irrecoverably lost with their innocence; and even in their dreams their guilty imagination is often restless and busy in tormenting itself.—What recompence, what place or wealth or power is equal to this, or can atone for it; atone for internal censure, and self-reproach? Nor can they with the most strenuous efforts, arrive at a state of indifference to the hatred or affection of their species.—The greatest monsters of iniquity have discovered a sensible concern at having their conduct exposed to public view; and as much as they hated good men, have been really solicitous about securing their approbation and esteem even in this world; therefore, that blackest of all
guilt, the sacrificing the liberties of one's country to private interest, is not without its punishment—nay, could we inspect the breast of such a paricide, we should recoil at the view, and be as far from envying his exterior grandeur and elevation, however high or dazzling, as we should be from coveting the situation of Milton's Satan —
"High on a throne of royal state, which far Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind; Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand Showers on her kings Barbaric pearl & gold."
It is indeed agreeable to the idea of the Supreme Being, that the wicked should be tormented with the consciousness of their enormities, and never taste of happiness, though pursuing it; and that innocence, however persecuted or threatened, should be attended with pleasure—and if our inward anguish, and stings of self condemnation, are proportionate to the nature of our guilt, what can equal the compunctions of that man who knows himself to be an enemy to his country? Whatever air of gaiety he may assume to disguise his mental tumults, there are certain seasons in which conscience will force an audience, and whenever he does, will accost him in the following strain:—
"And art thou then for the sake of aggrandizing thyself, projecting the ruin of thy country? Dost thou put thy private interest in the scale against the public weal? Art thou laying a foundation for the misery of thousands, to advance thy false grandeur, or rather thy real infamy? Hast thou no bowels of compassion? O wast thou no gratitude to thy country? Wilt thou entail an everlasting curse on posterity, by destroying that liberty which they would otherwise enjoy? Pity at least the future race of mankind; and extend not thy malevolence to generations yet unborn.—Dost thou not stand in awe of every honest man thou meetest?—Not an eye but reproaches, not a heart that doth not abhor thee?—for since thou art an enemy to mankind, needest thou wonder if by mankind thou art detested? Since thou art contriving chains for posterity, what canst thou expect but that posterity will brand thy name with everlasting ignominy? What but to be hated living, and dying, and dead?"
Can any heart be steeled against such pungent upbraidings as these? Can any scenes of amusement totally suppress the awful voice of this incorruptible vicegerent of God?—On the contrary, how amiable is the character of a Patriot; and what an inextinguishable source of the sublimest pleasure is his consciousness of studying the prosperity of his country.—As he loves all men and is ever intent on promoting their happiness, it is but reasonable all men should love him, and be concerned for his felicity.—It is true, Patriots have not always been so used: But it is to the reproach of humanity that they have not—they are the guardians and patrons of mankind; and but for their struggles against tyranny, the whole human race had long before now been reduced to bondage. They are the inflexible veterans in the cause of liberty; and whenever she is attacked, they flock from every quarter to her standard, and cheerfully lay their lives and fortunes at her feet.—No good man can therefore help admiring the character of patriots—they are the friends of society, lovers of their country, protectors of liberty, enemies to oppression, and champions for public virtue and human happiness—and however they may sometimes experience the ingratitude of designing and self-interested men, they are sure either to rise triumphant above all opposition, or fall gloriously in the best of causes.—They are sure of the testimony of a good conscience while living; and when removed from this scene of action, to have their memories revered by posterity, which never fails to do justice to merit, and passes (may every public criminal hear it with trembling!) an impartial and incorruptible sentence on human actions.—But supposing the lot of the patriot was perpetual opposition and final disappointment—supposing it was constant ill usage and persecution to death—is not such ill treatment and persecution in the steady pursuit of virtue and the persevering vindication of liberty, infinitely preferable to prosperous guilt, or the wealth of both the Indies, acquired at the expence of probity and honor?—Who would not rather be a Cato , directing his whole conduct to the service of his country, and ever studious to avert her impending calamities; than a Cæsar , constantly meditating the ruin of Rome ; and turning the arms of the Commonwealth against the Commonwealth? Who would not rather be a Cicero , even in exile, than a Clodius , his enemy, though triumphing over that virtuous Roman? And who would not voluntarily banish himself from all human society, sooner than be pointed at by his countrymen—an American citizen, venal, and corrupted by the gold and political influence of the tyrannical British Cabinet?
MENTOR.
On the Assassins of the EMPEROR PAUL.
The Governor of St. Petersburg took a very active part in the massacre of the late Emperor Paul of Russia ; he escorted the Conspirators , about twenty in number to the Palace , gained possession of the lower apart-
ments, and sent his followers to the bedchamber of his master, who hearing an unusual noise had risen from bed, and hid himself behind a screen; they thought he had fled, but discovering his retreat, they informed him, that he must abdicate the throne, and threatened him with immediate death in case of refusal; he agreed to comply with all their conditions, when thinking he discovered some symptoms of remorse among his enemies, he began to assume a determined language—the conspirators became alarmed; they had gone too far to recede—one of them now struck him and after a slight opposition Paul was wounded and fell; however, not without having first attempted to escape by a private passage, the avenues and doors to which were so constructed that upon pulling a string, he could be instantly conveyed from the spot, to a place of safety, but he found the string cut, and then lost all hopes of saving his life. After Paul was wounded, the conspirators waited upon the Governor, who staid in another apartment while the bloody work was going on, to know if the Emperor should be dispatched—his reply was in effect that the business must be finished immediately, and he was accordingly hurried out of the world. This horrid affair took place about midnight, and the next morning it was publicly announced that Paul had died suddenly in a fit of apoplexy; and his son Alexander was immediately proclaimed Emperor. This dutiful Son must have been fully acquainted with the whole business, & it is truly astonishing that he dared to issue a proclamation to his subjects wherein he calls upon the Almighty to bless and prosper his reign. It is said however that he had some qualms of conscience, and by the earnest intercession of his mother the Empress Dowager, who threatened to leave St. Petersburg in case of refusal, he lately ordered the noble Governor who made him Emperor, to proceed to Riga , but the Gentleman pretended to be very ill treated, and tore his commission in pieces, high words ensued, and the conclusion was that the governor was forbid the Imperial presence, and banished to his estates.
CHARLESTON (S. C.) Oct. 3.
The English frigate Circe , about the middle of last month, captured 8 or 9 sail of vessels bound from the West Indies to this port; several were in ballast, and one in sight of the light-house. Our merchants are much at a loss to account for these new depredations on our trade, as the latest advices from England do not mention any new order of the king in council having been issued to authorise them.
BOSTON, October 26.
VERMONT REPUBLICANISED.
Extract of a Letter from a Member of the Legislature, dated Newbury, (V.) Oct. 14.
"I cannot omit the present moment to communicate to you the complete triumph of Republicanism in this State. Several important questions have been determined since the commencement of the present session, which have terminated for the honor of a republican government; but above all (praised be God) this afternoon we have elected the Hon. STEPHEN R. BRADLEY, Senator of the United States , for six years to come, by a majority of sixteen votes, in the room of Judge Paine , resigned. Our federal brethren are struck with dismay—You may now see that Vermont has set the New-England States an example to follow. I must tell you that our success in this important decision is a full compensation for any inconvenience that can arise to me in consequence of attending here, contrary to my interest and wishes.
"With respect for the cause of '75, I am your friend and humble servant, M*** R*****."
Another letter, to the EDITORS, says— "I hasten to announce, through you, to the Republicans of Massachusetts , that republicanism is once more triumphant in Vermont . Notwithstanding the re-election of Gov. Tichenor , by a reduced majority, the Legislature is decidedly republican. The former Speaker, Amos Marsh , Esq. was almost unanimously re-elected; but upon the election of Clerk, a division took place, and the Republican candidate, James Elliot , Esq. was elected by 90 votes to 79.
"The day of retribution for federal sinners has arrived. The furious federalists of 1789, and their famous ones only , are removed from office. Even in the most federal counties, the judiciary offices are generally filled with Republicans . A total regeneration of the Supreme Court is in contemplation.
P. S. "ISRAEL SMITH, the first great victim of federal vengeance in '98, is elected Chief Justice." [Chron.

The Court do, therefore, unanimously and honorably acquit the said Capt. George Little of the several articles contained in the

charge against him; and he is hereby fully and honorably acquitted accordingly.

THE LETTER.
Navy Department, Sept. 25, 1801.
THE Act of Congress for the better government of the Navy of the United States, declares, that no person of the navy shall pillage prisoners on board a prize, on pain of such punishment as a Court Martial shall adjudge. In the foregoing case, among several unimportant informal allegations, there is a charge of pillage exhibited against Capt. LITTLE, and it was for the trial of this charge, principally, that the Court Martial was constituted. Not only the honor of the Nation, but the honor of this officer, was deeply implicated, and, therefore, called for such a solemn investigation. In this trial, it was the government, that was the party prosecuting. The prisoners were only as the informing witnesses in a criminal prosecution. These prisoners, in legal contemplation, are not, neither were they, in the contemplation of government, considered parties. They could not have been in any degree benefited by a sentence against Capt. LITTLE; because a Court Martial is not competent to decree a restoration of any property alleged to have been pillaged. It is only competent in such a trial to pass a sentence of acquittal or punishment.
The evidence adduced in this trial clearly proves, that the prisoners on board the prize have been pillaged. It is apparent, that watches, rings and buckles, constituting a part of the dress of the prisoners, have been pillaged from them by some persons belonging to the Boston frigate; that these articles, at the time of taking them, were not deemed, even by the persons who took them, lawful prize; that they were not reported to the officers of the Admiralty Court as prize, to be adjudicated and condemned; that they have not, at any time since, been produced; and, that no kind of satisfactory information has yet been given respecting them. But from the face of the proceedings of the Court Martial, it does appear, that the orders issued by Capt. LITTLE were perfectly correct and legal; that he was not, in any degree, a party in this mean and disgraceful pillage, and that the charge against him has no evidence, positive or presumptive, to support it. I, therefore, do approve of the sentence of acquittal pronounced by the Court Martial on his trial.

Secretary of the Navy.

The list (consisting of 24 vessels) of the convoy of the United States ship Essex, Capt. Bainbridge, published in this American, is OFFICIAL. The number of our citizens thus protected from slavery, and the immense property of our merchants, thus defended from the inroads of free-booters, must be considered as a complete answer to the faction which has endeavored to arraign the President's conduct in sending a squadron into the Mediterranean.
We have received an interesting communication from our correspondent in London, from which we make the following IMPORTANT EXTRACT:—

LONDON, Aug. 27.
"An account is given me this morning, and as I have received it from a gentleman who is in habits of intimacy with Sir Wm. Hamilton and Lord Nelson, and who came over in his suit some time ago, I am induced to pay great respect to the information. He assured me, that Government had transmitted an order to Lord St. Helens, to repair with speed to Paris, where he will be received as Ambassador from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, as negotiator there for Peace with the Consulate of France."
"It is not doing justice to this intelligence to term it a report; for I give you an exclusive information, or private and important intelligence derived from a friend whose sphere is in the upper circles of life."

The enemy have at present off this place only two ships of 64 guns, and five or 6 small vessels, several of which last night effected a landing at Cucq, 6 leagues distant from this place, where they burned about 600 tons of pitch and tar belonging to private individuals. These articles formed part of the cargo of an American ship wrecked on the coast, and had been sold two days before. There
were then only a few laborers in the neighborhood, who fled on the approach of the enemy, and on a few bombs having been thrown.
SALEM, Oct. 26.
We observe that the British Cruisers have lately sent into England five or six American vessels, under pretence that they were bound to Havre-de-Grace, which they pretend is blockaded. Who recollects the blockade of the port of Havre being officially announced? If it was (which is much questioned) we believe only a few frigates are cruising in its neighborhood—but upon the principles which the English have acted during this war, a single boat may blockade a port; and any neutral vessel found at sea with a Clearance for such port may be sent in for lawful adjudication.
A new CLOUD in the NORTH.
We have seen a letter from Cronstadt, (Russia) dated August 28th, which mentions, that active preparations for WAR were making at that port; and that the Emperor had just prohibited the exportation of timber, deals, &c. to England!—In a London paper of Sept. 18, we find the following article, which may serve as explanatory of the above:
A Letter from Petersburg, dated July 23d, says—"The Admiralty have not yet come to any determination relative to the Deal business; and altho' several ships are waiting, we have not yet been able to obtain permission to load off the quantity remaining from last year, even with an allowance to them of one fifth part."
[Continued.]
[The following article will throw more light on the foregoing, and seems to indicate that the Emperors of Germany and Russia have a perfect understanding with each other:]
"OFFEN, (Ger.) Aug. 13.
"A letter from Baccari, in Austrian Croatia, in the Adriatic, states, "There arrived a few weeks ago, an English ship at Portore, and a second at Fiume, to purchase a great quantity of hemp and flax that had been collected at these ports; different ships, among others a Swede took a cargo of this on board to carry it to England; before setting sail, a courier from his Imperial Majesty, brought to the Government of Fiume an order not to let these vessels sail; there arrived a short time after at Portore, a commissary, who placed an embargo on the ships in that port; but the English merchant ships, of 40 guns, reinforced by a corfair, loaded their guns, and declared, that if the least military preparations were made on shore to enforce it, they would reduce the town to ashes:—this menace, supported by two English frigates, one at Fiume, and the other at Portore, produced its effect: The embargo was taken off, and the ships were to sail immediately, under convoy of the two English frigates."
NEWPORT,
Saturday, October 31, 1801.
This day, the Hon. General Assembly of this State, which met at South-Kingstown on Monday last, will probably adjourn till February. We have not been able to obtain a sketch of the business of the present Session for to-day's paper, but shall endeavor to give it in our next.
Arrived here last week Schooner Henry, Capt. Rathbone, from Surinam. Left on board on his outward bound passage, on the 28th June last, Mr. Christopher Deale, a native of Philadelphia.
MR. PRINTER,
For the credit of our Island it may be proper to publish that the frequent remark that this Island is unfavorable to fruit, has been falsified the present year. The fruit trees, such as the Cherry, Peach, Pear, and Apple, have this season produced in abundance, one orchard of three acres having yielded 250 bushels of fine Greenings, beside making 40 barrels of cider.
A FARMER.
Mr. JOHN APPLETON, the official bearer of the ratified Treaty between the United States and France, arrived at Boston on Friday of last week, in the brig Reward, from Dieppe.
Extract of a letter from Charleston, S. C.
"The British in the West Indies, have said, "when we have done with the Danes and Swedes, we will begin with brother Jonathan again."—They are now making their promise good; two brigs and a Schooner from Port Republican to this place, have been taken by an English frigate."
The New-York, papers say—"Flour is now selling for nine dollars a barrel—Why do loaves of bread continue the same size as when flour sold or twelve dollars a barrel?"—The same questions apply to Philadelphia with equal force and force. [Phil. pap.]
We have a red in folk for Winthrop Sargent, late governor of the Mississippi territory. In a few days we shall notice the pamphlet of pompous inanity and calumnies which he has published in Boston, and give a history of the man, little known in the United States, but extremely dishonorable to himself.
"Public delinquents shall have a public portrait." [New-York paper.]
We noticed in our last, the decisive triumph of Republicanism in Delaware.
We have also the pleasure of announcing the complete success of the Republicans in the State of Maryland. The following extract of a letter, just received from an obliging correspondent in Baltimore, addressed to the Editors, will afford the necessary information. [N. J. Cent.]
"It is with pleasure I add, that the success of the Republicans in Maryland is great and truly astonishing—Our State Senate are to a man Republican; and as far as the returns have been received of the members chosen to the lower House, there can be no doubt but there will be a large majority of Republicans, which will give us a Republican Governor and Council, as they are chosen by a joint ballot of both Houses—and likewise our Senator in Congress will be Republican. Maryland may now be considered as among the foremost in the cause of virtue."
We are happy to announce the favorable change of sentiment in the State of Connecticut, in opposition to the whole force of Federal chicanery & intrigue: GIDEON GRAN-GER, Esq. a Whig of '75, and a Republican of 1801, had 4187 votes for Member of Congress.—Notwithstanding Col. TALMADGE, the Federal Candidate, is chosen, the increase in favor of the Republican Candidate, since the Election in April last, of almost 1000 votes, proves, to a demonstration, that the scales are falling from the eyes of the people, and that in a short time, Connecticut will be completely Republicanized.
Mr. Addington, it is said, will demand a loan of Twelve Millions of the Turks, upon putting them in possession of Egypt. It is but fair that we should be paid for fighting their battles, somehow or other, either in money or land. [Aurora.]
Extract of a letter from ———, Chief Mate of the ship Thomas, to a relation in Hopedale, Hunterdon county, N. J. dated
LONDON, July 2, 1801.
"Great-Britain may now very justly be compared to a painted Harlot—dazzling to the eye, when all is misery & distress. The extreme misery of the lower class of people in the kingdom, is beyond imagination; for the bare necessaries of life, are absolutely out of the reach of the most industrious poor."
"This day there has been some small fall in the price of corn at the markets; but we fear it is only temporary. Taxation is beyond credibility. Were I to inform any native American of the burthens of England, I should not be believed."
"O, my countrymen, you have the fate of nations for 1800 years past, to warn you of what ought to be the rule of your conduct. If you err, you are doubly beyond pity. The most meanly poor of our country, in comparison of those of England of the same grade in the affairs of this world, are beyond parallel happily situated."
"Let us then thank an over-ruling Providence, that the years 1775 and 1783 delivered us from the grasp of British Tyrants."
The Ladies are delicate subjects to handle, or we might relate some entertaining anecdotes of Female votes which occurred in this city on the days of Election. [N. J. paper.]
In the State of Delaware, the Republican Candidate for Governor has been elected by a majority of nineteen votes. The majority given in our last, was inaccurate. [Trenton Paper.]
On the 12th inst. Mr. Blicher Olsen, was received by the President of the United States in the character of Minister Resident of his Majesty the King of Denmark, with which he has been clothed; and on the next day an Executor issued to him as Consul General of his said Majesty.
The Bill of Indictment in a suit commenced against the Editor of this paper by order of the present Executive, on behalf of the Senate of the United States, and which was brought before a Grand Jury on Monday last, was on Wednesday returned by the jury IGNORAMUS. [Aurora.]
Not a Federal paper in the Union but has endeavored to prove the President guilty of an unconstitutional stretch of power in causing the prosecution against Mr. Duane at the suit of the Senate, to be discontinued. This charge, like all that have been alleged against the President, is now proved to be groundless.—The suit was not discontinued, but took its legal course.—How unfortunate for the calumniators of the President, that all their falsehoods are so soon detected.
Thursday the 26th of November, is appointed the Thanksgiving Day for this season in Connecticut.
The Legislative Council of Upper Canada, have rejected the bill, which had passed the House of Assembly, giving to the Affirmation of Friends the same force as an Oath.
By the latest accounts from New-York, Norfolk, Charleston, &c. the Fever appears to be fast abating.
DIED—At South-Kingstown on Tuesday last, Mr. CHARLES CROOK, of this town, aged about 50.
At Portsmouth, on Tuesday last, Mr. GIDEON COGGESHALL, in the 76th year of his age.

HUSKING.
From Barlow's HASTY-PUDDING.
AND now, the corn-house fill'd, the harvest home, Th' invited neighbors to the Husking come; A frolic scene, where work, and mirth, and play, Unite their charms to chace the hours away.
Where the huge heap lies centered in the hall, The lamp suspended from the cheerful wall, Brown corn-fed nymphs, and strong hard-handed beaux, Alternate rang'd, extend in circling rows, Assume their seats, the solid mass attack; The dry husks ruffle, and the corn cobs crack: The song, the laugh, alternate notes rebound, And the sweet cider trips in silence round.
The laws of Husking ev'ry wight can tell; And sure no laws he ever keeps so well: For each red ear a general kiss he gains, With each smut ear he smuts the luckless swains. But when to some sweet maid a prize is cast, Red as her lips, and taper as her waist, She walks the round, and culls one favor'd beau, Who leaps, the luscious tribute to bestow. Various the sports, as are the wits and brains Of well-pleas'd lassies and contending swains, Till the vast mound of corn is swept away; And he that gets the last ear, wins the day.
PLEASING PROSPECT.
With a JEFFERSON in the Presidential chair, with a BURR to preside over our Senate, with a MADISON entrusted with the affairs of State, and a GALLATIN to superintend the Treasury, we are warranted, by strong probabilities to assert, that justice and economy will be the order of the day; that the Constitution will be kept inviolate, and public monies be accounted for when expended; merit will be given to the deserving, and Liberty reign triumphant .—With this view of our present auspicious situation, we want only the faithful heart, and diligent hand, and our Liberty is secured. Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, N. Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New-York and Rhode-Island, are Republican by great majorities. South-Carolina, Maryland, Delaware and New-Jersey, are less majorities, though collectively, are in the Republican interest. Vermont is near equally divided. It is said however that the present Assembly is decidedly Republican . New-Hampshire has a majority of six in their Legislature on the Federal side. Massachusetts hath less than thirty. Connecticut have a great majority, but the Republicans are gaining ground. [Sun.]
From the Charleston City Gazette .
September 21, 1801. Died, in this city on Friday last, after a short but severe illness, in the 35th year of his age, Mr. SETH PAINE, heretofore one of the proprietors and Editors of this Gazette. He was a native of the town of Dedham, in the State of Massachusetts, and has been a resident in this State for nearly ten years past. Descended from one of the first families which the religious oppression of the times had driven from England, to take refuge in the then inhospitable wilds, now the Eastern States of America, he had imbibed from his ancestors that love for liberty and hatred to arbitrary government which shone so conspicuous in the first settlers of New-England, men who thought no sacrifice too great when it was made to obtain the "freedom of the mind." As an Editor of a public paper, he exerted his abilities in support of those principles which brought about the American revolution, and on which our government, now so prosperous and happy, is founded. To no citizen did the result of the late presidential election give more sincere satisfaction than to him, and it was with that honest pride, becoming a Republican, that he took credit to himself for having, in this city, assisted in publishing a paper, which in the darkest days of terror, when the then administration of the United States deprived it of all it had
in its power to take from it, and when ruin threatened it on every hand, had alone opposed itself to the current of deception then so overwhelm'd by the tributary streams of slander and detraction (unfortunately not yet exhausted.) Yet, while he guarded the press against influence, the pages of the Gazette are evidences that though they were not subservient to the powers that were, he never suffered them to convey scandal and abuse. These were weapons he disdained; he tended with no arms but truth and reason; and though his life has been closed at an early period, he lived long enough to see them triumphant. A friend who respected him while living, and laments him dead, feels it his duty to dedicate this fleeting tribute to the memory of a man whose services he believes have been useful to his country.
He has left many relations in the Eastern States, amongst them an aged father, to deplore his loss, and a respectable circle of acquaintances in this city will bear witness of the esteem he was held in by them.
ANECDOLE.
A Gentleman having put out a candle by accident one night, ordered his waiting man (who was a simple being) to light it again in the kitchen; "but take care James," added he, "that you do not hit yourself against any thing in the dark."—Mindful of the caution, James stretched out both his arms at full length before him; but unluckily, a door stood half open—passed between his hands, and struck him a woeful blow upon the nose. "Dickens!" he cried, when he recovered his senses a little; "I always heard that I had a plaguy long nose; but I vow I never knew before that it was longer than my arms."
