Political.
From the Star.
MR. WILLARD. BEING accused by Tom ALLEN of Pittsfield, and others of having acted inconsistent with my professions, I undertook a defence and forwarded it to the editor of the Sun, for publication; but Tom finding that he should not be able to maintain his assertion, and being ashamed to have the circumstance which produced this unprincipled and unmanly attack appear before the public, has refused to give it insertion. If there remains a single particle of pride or ambition, in Tom to be considered a man of honor, I think the idea of being, himself, the accuser, and then himself debaring me the privilege of making my defence must be truly mortifying. He has obliged me to come and solicit such favors of you, sir, as I have little right to expect to receive. While I had, on the other hand, the highest claim on him for it. If it should not be incompatible with your feelings to give this and the following letters to Tom Allen, insertion in your paper, you will oblige one who intends to commence reading your paper, from this time, instead of "Tom Thumb's folio."
Never, till lately, was I so thoroughly convinced that an undeviating, intentional rectitude and propriety of conduct, form no indemnity against the attacks of the vulgar, the unprincipled and the base. The rage and violence of party spirit which reigns in our country, threatening all those calamities and fatal consequences, which have usually been the attendants of such a spirit in those generations which have preceded us, had long since determined me, for one, to adopt moderation and candor, and to substitute reason in the place of mad rage and declamation; and to this resolution I have strictly adhered for several years. And when my fellow-citizens of West Stockbridge were pleased to depute me as their Representative in the General Court, I visited that honorable body, at the last May session, with a determination to know no parties, but to be governed at all times by the propriety and impropriety of the measures to be acted upon. In the pursuit of this resolution all remained tranquil, until the question was taken whether the house would accept the answer to the Governor's address, as reported by the Committee, which was as it stands in the Star of June 22. Two clauses of which being objected to by Perez Morton, Esq. a leading character on the republican side, soon led me to understand that I was to be tried whether I would adhere to men in exclusion of principles, or whether I would adhere to principles in exclusion, even of the men of my party. But in this case I had not the least hesitation; for I did consider the language of the answer to be founded on true republican principles, and at this time, under existing circumstances, most proper and necessary to be adopted not only by the members of the House, but by every individual throughout the Union. For we evidently see Virginia, with Randolph at her head, ambitious and aspiring at dominion and power to dictate laws to her sister states. See Randolph at the head of the Virginia faction, quarreling with all, without reference to politics, who stand in the way of his ambition, frequently calling the Speaker of the House to order, &c. &c. The two clauses objected to by Mr. Morton, were in the first case the words "under the dominion of a single state," and in the second, the words "by aspiring men." Mr. Morton objected to those clauses on the ground that the first would give umbrage to some states, and the other to some individual.
Now, Mr. Allen, I would ask it as a favor of you, that you would direct your printer (I understand you control the press) to publish the answer of the house to the Governor's address, that the people may read and see how those two clauses were couched, that they may judge for themselves. But I shall proceed to insert such parts of the answer as shall contain the two clauses so exceptionable to Mr. Morton, and of course by you (it being my intention to publish this letter) left you should refuse to publish said answer, as you have refused to publish my answer, well knowing that the answer of itself, without comment, is sufficient to extort a verdict in my favor for voting with the federalists to accept it, even from my enemies and your friends: for mankind have not the control of their own judgements. Conclusions form involuntarily. Men it is true, can speak according to
prejudices, but they cannot form their judgements. I had as lieve submit any case of controversy to the silent judgment of an enemy as to a friend. Yet it is to be lamented that it is not always safe to submit the discussion of a case to an enemy, and risk his candor in declaring his judgment:—Here follows a portion of the answer, containing the clause on which was founded Mr. Morton's first objection. "We concur with your Excellency that it is the duty of the state governments to watch over the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution.—It is especially their duty to guard with jealous vigilance the preservation of the Union upon just and equal principles, and to repel all measures calculated to consolidate the states under the dominion of a single state." In the above is contained the ground work of Mr. Morton's first objection. Let me ask you, Mr. Allen, whether it is possible that the people, especially republicans, will agree with you and your dictator, (Morton) in the opinion that it is not our duty, so to watch, guard and repel, especially at this time, when as I said before, there is every indication of a design on the part of Virginia, finally to give laws to her sister states? Will not the people agree with me that the language ought to be an hundred times more pointed and explicit? that it is not only the duty of legislators, but also of every individual in the United States, to express their disapprobation and indignation at the first dawning of illicit ambition in any state? Here follows another portion of the answer containing the other objection. "If such influence can be obtained, in the National Councils by aspiring men as to enable them to alter this sacred instrument at their pleasure," &c. Here the words "by aspiring men" were to give umbrage to some individual, and who is so ignorant as not to know, that he had reference to Jack Randolph, at the head of Virginia members of Congress. Now Tom, I would ask you again, whether you can expect that the people, more especially republicans, will join with you and your dictator, Morton, to suppress genuine republican language for fear of irritating a young American Bonaparte, who is, as I said before, continually quarreling with the members of Congress, envying all eastern members who hold offices of honor or profit under the government? Instance his attempt to impeach Gideon Granger, Post-Master General of the United States, and others. Do you expect that the people will join with you and your dictator, to foster and bring up a young, ambitious and unprincipled Virginian, while he is daily insulting the members whom they have chosen and sent to negotiate their governmental concerns and watch their rights and liberties?—Are not the people yet sore with the enormous expence, which he has saddled them with, by his wild career in the prosecution of the Hon. Judge Chase? But the Judge, perhaps was, as the poet says, "forced to his good against his will," for upon an investigation he was cleared by the Senate of the United States, and reinstated in the confidence of all honest men, who had been wavering concerning his integrity on account of false reports.—But Tom, I suspect that you and your dictator are disposed to censure the Senate for disobliging the feeling of Jack in not condemning the Hon. Judge:—But you are cowards and dare not attack superior force.
But since you are so particular with me, as to call me to an account for not adhering to men without regard to principles, I need give you notice that I shall in my turn, since you profess to adhere to men, call on you to reconcile the conduct of the men with the principles by us once contended for.
The affair of the salaries of the Secretaries shall be the subject of my next letter.

Life Preserver.—The Machine, or jacket, is composed of waterproof leather, and prepared to contain air, and is inflated in half a minute, which supports the head, arms and body out of the water. Several persons dropped from the boats moored off the Old Swan, and floated through London Bridge, with perfect ease and safety; they then proceeded down the river - some were observed to be smoking their pipes, others playing the German Flute, and French Horn, and which they seemed to do with as much ease and indifference, as on dry land. The scene was truly novel and interesting. E. L. Pap.

IMPORTANT ORDER.
The following Copy of an Order sent by the Spanish Government, to the Commandant of Marine at Algeziras, has been received by several respectable Mercantile Houses in this place: and, although the omission of the names, both of the writer and of the person to whom it is addressed, has made us hesitate whether we should insert it, until we found it inserted in the Madrid Gazette, yet its importance, and the assurance we have received from good authority, and its authenticity has been verified on the spot by persons interested in the enquiry, have induced us to give it a place in this Number.
The Director General of the Navy, in a letter of the 25th of the last month, writes to the Commandant General as follows:
His Excellency the Secretary of State and of the Marine, communicates to me the following Royal Order of yesterday:
Madrid, Sept. 3, 1805
Most Excellent Sir,
"His Excellency, the Minister of the United States, has complained of new grievances and captors of American vessels by the Spanish privateers; and that eleven Americans have been carried into Algeziras under pretence, as it is stated, that they were carrying English merchandise. Which having been laid before his Majesty, the King, he has been pleased to order, that, if there is no other motive for the capture of said vessels but the one alledged by the American Minister, they should be immediately liberated, as, by the Fifteenth Article of the Treaty with the United States, the American flag covers the goods on board, although they be enemies property; but, if they have been detained from any other motives, the suits are to be decided with the utmost dispatch according to the established Laws—which I communicate to your Excellency, according to the Royal Order, that you may make it known to the Heads of Departments of the Navy, that they may communicate it to the Commandants of Marine and to the owners of Privateers, who, after receiving due notice, shall be responsible for any injuries which may be sustained through them."

Lord Nelson arrived here, on the 28th, —The command of Lord Nelson extends through the Mediterranean to cape St. Vincent—Admirals Duckworth and Thornborough to come out.—A Force goes off Cartagena, of 6 of the line, supposed under the former.—Sir John Warren has a Flying Squadron between Finisterre and St. Vincents, with a Commander in Chief's Commission.
LONDON, SEPT. 28.
The French troops on their march from Hanover gave loose to every excess, plundering indiscriminately all the places through which they passed, and committing all the enormities which marked their memorable retreat from Franconia,—Previous to their departure they extorted a sum of money from the Senate of Hamburgh.—Bernadotte made, by Bourienne, a demand of a million of rix-dollars, offering for that sum to evacuate Rixbuttle and Cuxhaven. The Senate refused the money. The demand was then reduced to 500,000 dollars. The Senate still pleaded inability. Bourienne came down in his demand to 300,000 dollars, and insisted on having this sum, with menaces which the Senate no longer judged safe to despise. The money was paid—Bernadotte was no sooner sure of it, than he marched 1000 of his troops into Cuxhaven, on pretence, that it would be seized by the enemies of France—if he should leave it without such protection!!!

When Mr. Jefferson's Monitor is again disposed to discuss the subject of our treatment by the belligerent European powers, the subjoined instance of injury and insult, is one among many to shew that the lex talionis should not be exclusively applied to Great Britain.
Extract of a letter from William Goodwin, jun. supercargo of the brig Stork , Walter Cornell, master, belonging to James D. Wolfe, Esq. of Bristol, R. I.
"We failed from Newport the 21st of June, and in 26 days (during which we were constantly perplexed with head winds and calms) we found ourselves in lat. 36, N. and long. 88, W. On the evening of the twenty-sixth, being thick and squally, we were brought to by a French privateer of 14 guns; our captain was ordered to get out his boat and come on board with his papers, which was immediately complied with. Soon after they sent six men armed, who
took possession of the vessel and ordered us on board the privateer. Eight men, Mr. Adams the mate, and myself embarked in a small leaky skiff, which the pirates sent for the purpose, forbidding us to take our jolly boat, which was along side. We had not proceeded far from the vessel, before one of the men cried out the boat is going down! I threw off my great coat and prepared myself for swimming, but fortunately found a bucket and kept her free until we reached the privateer. They conducted us aft, and seated us on a chest of arms and examined us one by one with a lantern, in order to discover if any of us were Frenchmen; me the wifecakes declared to be a fellow countryman of theirs; the rest were driven into the fore hold and had a guard set over them. Having examined the papers and finding I was supercargo, they swore I was the son of some English merchant to whom the property belonged. I was ordered down into the after hold, and as I was descending, one of them directed a blow which met me on the face so forcibly that I lay motionless for some time at the bottom of the hold.—When I came to myself I found I had lost a considerable quantity of blood, but this did not distress me half so much as the gloomy prospect of what was to follow; being convinced by their conduct that they were pirates. I found the place in which I was confined, to be filled with different kinds of plunder, and by what I could learn with my ear at the bulk head, I was satisfied my captain was coming off worse than myself: thus you may well suppose.
"The dreadful post of observation Darkened every hour."
"Their boats were employed the whole night in conveying plunder from our vessel. I was not permitted to see capt. Cornell: —the first reception he met, was with the butt of a pistol, which stunned him; they beat him—tore the hair from his head and otherwise abused him in a most inhuman and beastly manner. They then wrote for him to sign what they termed a "capitulation," the burden of which was that our cargo was English property; on his refusal they threatened to put him to torture, until he should consent. Finding the actual tortures of the body and constant menace of repetition did not shake his firmness, they attempted his paternal feelings in a manner at the recital of which humanity revolts. The captain's little son was left asleep in the cabin when we came on board the privateer; he was now taken on deck and lashed to the shrouds, where these merciless wretches scourged him in a manner too barbarous for conception, in order to carry their villainous project into effect. The father was released from his confinement and from the deck of the robber, he witnessed this affecting sight. The cries of his son however soon forced him below.—Here he was threatened with the like treatment, if he did not immediately sign the "capitulation," which he perseveringly refused.
"After they had beaten the child as long as they had thought proper, he was unbound and commanded to find English colours; on declaring it was out of his power (there not being any on board the brig) one of them drew a sword and threatened to cut off his head. He immediately ran down into the cabin, and finding he was pursued, he jumped out at one of the windows. The privateersmen manned their boat and took him in.—He was thrown senseless on the deck, with his hands tied behind him, and thus they left him.
"About 11 o'clock the next forenoon, I was called up and ordered into the boat soon after the captain joined me, and we were all dismissed from the privateer, which immediately bore away—we found all our men on board. The first object which demanded our attention was the captain's son, whom he stripped of his wet cloaths, and put him to bed. His wounds for 6 or 8 days were painful, but he has since quite recovered.
"Our vessel was plundered in a shameful manner. The pirates broke open all our chests and trunks, and too nearly every article of cloathing, except what we had on. They also took our spare sails, cordage, &c, and unrove part of our running rigging. All our cabin stores quadrants, charts what money they could find, * my hat, boots, shoes, writing desk, watch, pistols, and even bosom pin did not escape their rapacity. However we considered ourselves fortunate in coming off with one thing, that they almost frightened us out of.—I mean our lives."
* The loss of the vessel was about 600 dollars—they did not plunder the cargo.

HORRID MURDER,
Extract of a letter from Northampton, dated November, 22.
A most barbarous murder was committed on Saturday the 9th inst. on one Marcus Lyon. of Woodstock, as he was journeying through Wilbraham, in the County of Hampshire. The body was thrown into
Chicabee river, which is near the road, and stones were thrown upon it. The Coroner's Inquest find that he was shot with a pistol ball, and his skull was beaten and broken to pieces by a pistol and clubs. The murderers are supposed to be two transient persons who have proceeded into Connecticut; and I am informed that a number of persons have gone in pursuit of them.
Gov. Strong has issued a proclamation, offering a reward of 500 dollars for the apprehension of the murderers.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1805.
An arrival at Newyork the 17th inst. in 40 days, from Bourdeaux, brings an account of Bonaparte's having declared War against Austria and Russia—this event has long been expected; and from the preparations made on both sides, it may be expected the conflict will be more extended and destructive in its consequences than Europe ever witnessed. For sometime past Russia and Austria have shown by their publications to the world that they are not disposed to remain indifferent spectators of the conduct of Bonaparte, whose inordinate ambition threatens to subjugate all the minor states upon the continent to the crown of France.
REIGN OF TERROR.
During the administration of the general government, when the federalists were in office, and using every exertion to protect the rights and property of our citizens from foreign aggression—the democrats, those exclusive friends of the people, made use of every means to embarrass and misrepresent the measures of government. The smallest censure of such false conduct, was denounced by the opposition as a fixed determination in the federalists to counteract the freedom of public opinion. Groundless and false as this charge was, many were deceived into a belief of it. But it seldom happens that the preaching and practice of the democrats accord—for they hesitate not to exercise a "political intolerance as despotic as wicked" upon all those who have the will and independence to adhere to political rectitude and propriety of conduct. Numerous instances of such tyrannical conduct in the leading democrats might be pointed out; and for no other reason, than refusing to be governed by men, in exclusion of those principles which the public interest requires.
Aaron Burr, in 1800 received the unanimous vote of the democratic electors for Vice President of the United States; and at the next election in 1804, not a single vote is given him, and why? his great offence was, for having given this toast, at a Public entertainment—"A union of all honest men"—meaning a union of men of honor and correct principles, without respect to party names.—But names and the loaves and fishes is every thing with these gentry.
Governor M'Keen and Mr. Elliot have been favored with no small degree of this political intolerance; if more evidence is wanted of the truth of these positions, it may be found in a most wanton and unmanly attack made upon the conduct of Mr. Philander Ralston, a member of the legislature of this state, by Thomas Allen, that wife vindicator of the immaculate Thomas Jefferson.—Mr. Rathbun has addressed several spirited letters to Allen, wherein he shews his conduct to have been honest and patriotic. Mr. Rathbun's first letter to Allen, published in this day's Gazette, places the conduct of the enemies of our worthy Governor in a proper point of light.
Unnatural Crime.—A newborn Infant was discovered in the dock near Union Wharf, on Friday morning last—Verdict, of the Jury—that its death was occasioned by the felonious act of some person unknown.
Damonick Daley and James Hallagan, two men lately from Ireland, and lately resident in Boston, were taken in the state of New-York and brought back to the county of Hampshire—and committed on the 15th instant, on suspicion of being the Murderers of Marcus Lyon, who was killed at Wilbraham on the night of the 9th. Hallagan says he has lived with Madam Sumner—Daley says he came into the country in March last and has resided in the works at South Boston, in the last summer. They say they have lived this fall in Exchange Alley, they were apprehended fifty miles beyond New-Haven.
Isaac Cunningham accused of the murder of Samuel Bachelder, at Ballstown, Maine, has been committed to gaol at Wilscasset; also the persons who lately broke open the store of Alden and Robbins, Union.
The State Prison, in Charleston is nearly completed;—we understand, its officers appointed. The prisoners under sentence to hard labor, in the several jails in the Commonwealth (amounting to about 40) will be removed early in December.
We are informed that on the evening of the 7th inst. Fulwar Skipwith, the American Consul-General in France arrived at Williamsburg.—That Mr. Skipwith left France on the 15th Sept. and on his way received letters bearing date the 20th of the same month. This is rapid sailing, and consequently brings the latest European advices. Mr. Skipwith states (it is said) that when he left France and at the date of his letters, the difference between this country and Spain were entirely unsettled, and in no way that seemed to promise accommodation.
Virginia Gazette.
The Ex-Bashaw of Tripoli, is said to have arrived in the Congress; but from the following article in the last Richmond Gazette, we believe the illustrious stranger, who has come passenger in this frigate, will prove to be the Representative of his Tunisian Majesty;—"The Tunisian Ambassador is said to be a very large yellow man, arrayed in the richest purple and gold. His right hand man is still larger, and black as Africa's sootiest son. He has come over to demand retribution for some Tunisian vessel which attempted to force its way through our fleet into Tripoli, and which we captured by the authority of the laws of nations.—His Excellency, we understand has brought over some fine Arabian horses, as a present to The President."
The North-Carolina amendment has been rejected in New-Jersey. They were both to alter the Constitution!

Ship News.
No foreign arrivals at this port since our last.
The following article shows a gross violation of that excellent principle, "Do as you would be done by." Capt. John Peabody, of Salem, has published the following narrative of the loss of his Schooner, a small coaster between Salem and Maine: "On the 16th October at 2 P. M. the wind E. S. E. four miles from Brace's rock, Cape Ann, a cross sea struck my vessel's head, and filled her deck to full of water, that it floated my boat on the bark standing above the gunwale. In this situation I remained till another sea struck her on her larboard quarter, and threw her on her beam ends, when she filled at the companion way. In about ten minutes she fell off before the wind and sea and righted again—kept her before the wind for twenty minutes, with the water running over her gunwale—the then went over again, righted no more—A Schooner broke through the fog a short time after, commanded by Capt. Allen of Sedgwick, at about a quarter of a mile distance; I hailed him for assistance, but he took no notice of me; afterwards a loop hove in sight under my lee, about the same distance, but, took no notice of my deplorable situation; about twenty minutes afterwards a Sandy bay boat passed at a very small distance; I waved my hat and hailed him, and was so confident of his coming to my relief that I unrove my gib sheet for a rope to heave to him; but he passed by—then made for the land; and at about fun set, the vessel struck the rocks, and went to pieces;—I was then driven to the necessity of committing myself to the mercy of the waves, which presented a gloomy aspect running high and breaking and foaming on the ledges; after being in them about 15 minutes, and being much bruised and nearly exhausted through the kind interposition of providence reached the shore, where I was hospitably treated by Mr. Larkin and family."

Poetry.
WIFE, CHILDREN AND FRIENDS.
A popular Song, Written by the Duke of Marlborough.
WHEN the black letter'd list to the gods was presented, (The list of what fate for each mortal intends) At a long list of ills a king's angel relented, And flipped in three blessings—Wife, Children, and Friends.
In vain angry Lucifer swore he was cheated. For justice divine could not compass its ends. The scheme of man's fall, he maintain'd, was defeated. For earth becomes Heav'n—with Wife, Children and Friends.
If the Rock of our bliss is in strangers hands vested, The fund, ill secured, oft in bankruptcy ends; But the heart issues bills which are never protested, When drawn on the firm of—Wife, Children and Friends.
Though vaulor still glows in his life's waning embers, The death wounded tar who his colors defends, Drops a tear of regret, as he dying, remembers How blest was his home with—Wife, Children, and Friends.
The soldier, whom deeds live immortal in story, Whose duty to far distant latitudes tends, With transport would barter whole ages of glory, For one happy day with—Wife, Children and Friends.
Though spice breathing gales o'er his carravan hover, And round him Arabia's whole fragrance descends, The merchant still thinks of the woodbines that cover The bower where he sat with—Wife, Children and Friends.
The day spring of youth, still unclouded by sorrow, Alone on itself for enjoyment depends; But dim is the twilight of age, if it borrow No warmth from the flames of—Wife, Children and Friends.
Let the breath of renown ever freshen and nourish The laurel which o'er her dead favorite bends; O'er him wave the willow, which only can flourish When dew'd with the tears of—Wife, Children and Friends.
Let us drink!—for my long growing graver and graver, To subjects too forsook inescapably tends; Let us drink!—pledge me high!—Love and beauty Will favor
The glass which I fill to—Wife, children and Friends. And if in the hope this fair Island to plunder, The tyrant of France to invade us pretends, How his legions will furiok, when our arm'd freemen thunder
Specularity.
For the Portland Gazette.
A New Species of Taxation.
Messrs. Adams & Jenks, A good humored friend of mine, the other day, after ruminating some time upon the subject of fashionable visits, very gravely suggested that every company, when the number of ladies exceeded twenty, should lay a tax upon themselves of four pence half penny each, for the relief of those, who, so far from being able to become members of such an assembly, are oppressed by poverty, and perhaps confined, through some suffering, either from age, sickness, or other infirmity, to their own gloomy apartment. The thought pleased me much, and as it appeared not impossible, that it might be turned to some good account, I have ventured to recommend it, through your paper, to the consideration of your fair and gentle readers not without hopes, that it may strike some one, in the same way it does myself. I shall attempt to bring the proposal into some sort of form, which may serve as a guide, until something better shall be invented.
In the first place, I am for reducing the number as stated by my friend, from twenty to twelve, as this seems to be as large a circle, as reason and moderation will allow, for ordinary occasions. If through my zeal in the cause, I have made a miscalculation, in supposing that a company of twelve, occurs more frequently, than one of twenty, the amiable reader will excuse my error, and act accordingly, in forming her own scheme of charity.
Now as to the size of the tax, it must be looked upon as very trifling, if we take into our account the profusion of good things, that prevails in modern entertainments. I presume therefore that many will join me in a wish at least to double the sum.
Lastly, as to extending this system of benevolence to both sexes, or confining it to the tender and generous sympathies of females,—I should indeed be loth, to lose any advantage of numbers; yet, since this class have not, amongst us, ventured upon any appropriate plan of charitable relief, they may with, perhaps, to secure to themselves the opportunity now offered. Should this be the case, I trust that the deficiency of rateable rolls will be supplied by the opponents and generosity of their disposition.
Were this hint to take any effect, I flatter myself that those squeamish people, who look upon your monstrous over-grown parties as a public nuisance, will find their hearts set a little at ease, in reflecting, that in one instance at least, good springs out of evil. For my own part, if it should only occasion one lovely sigh in the cause of humanity, I shall place the moment which brought it into my mind, among the happiest of my life. I am Yours, &c.
