PREFACE. The American Shipmaster's Assistant has been undertaken and completed under a conviction that a publication of the kind was much wanted; and would, if well executed, be found useful to all men in trade; more especially to masters of vessels.
It often happens that the difficulties, which take place between the ship-master and Owner, originate from the want of a sufficient knowledge of Maritime Law.
The object of the compiler has been to furnish the ship-master, as well as the common carrier, with that part of Maritime Law which more immediately relates to their duty and responsibility.
The Mathematical Tables, which are of daily use to the practical Navigator, are not only more copious, but more correct than any before published in America.
The peculiar nature of a work of this kind is that every succeeding impression should be subject to improvements. Should the public approbation of this book, render another edition necessary, no pains will be spared to make it useful. Oct. 19

Miscellaneous Selections.
To Farmers and Landholders.
undertook to exemplify in a very singular way, that versatility of character for which they have long been proverbial amongst their neighbours; they collected in the suburbs of Tilsit, the wreck of some hundreds of villages, (chiefly wood) wantonly destroyed in their progress, and with those they raised, in about three days, and as it were by magick, an extensive town, after the German fashion, with many streets, and sufficiently large to accommodate their whole body; they next cut up a very fine wood in the neighbourhood, consisting of several thousand trees, which they transported to the scene of their operations, and planted in their luxuriant foliage in avenues in every street of this new Pandemonium; and to complete the whole, every man who had any thing like a "stock in trade," opened a shop. - On Bonaparte's entering Tilsit, he took up his abode in the house of a person of respectability, who expressed his regret, that, in consequence of the plundering of the place, he had it not in his power to accommodate him in a suitable style, a soldier having stolen all his plate; the Emperor expressed his satisfaction with the situation. - His host took the liberty of introducing the subject of his stolen plate a second & third time, in hopes of having it restored; at last the Emperor silenced him by a contemptuous answer: At supper the great man asked for some particular kind of wine: - his hostess sent in a very submissive message to inform him that they had been plundered of that wine; he said, it must be forthcoming. Persons were instantly despatched through the town to procure it but returned without success: at length the wine was procured - During the period of the negotiations, the two Emperors and the King of Prussia dined together almost daily, and were seldom separated. Some of the Generals appeared determined to enjoy every luxury, whilst, at the same time, their armies, and especially the wretched and unprotected inhabitants of the surrounding country, were experiencing all the horrors of famine. In Tilsit provisions were enormously high; amongst the rest, lump sugar was 6s per pound, and porter 5s a bottle; forage was nearly exhausted, the little hay which was left, sold at 1s per pound, and the French dragoons fed their horses with rice.
At Memel, every thing was confusion and distress; all the churches (one excepted) were filled with the sick and wounded soldiers, and the wood worn torn up and converted into fuel, which was exceedingly scarce and dear; and at Riga, for many days, hundreds of small waggons came in, laden with the Russian soldiery, sick or suffering from wounds; these were deposited on the beach, in order to their being shipped for their own country.
When the issue of the battle of Friedland first reached the King of Prussia, he appeared exceedingly affected; he has been observed slowly pacing the avenues of Memel in the uniform of his guards, quite alone, for hours, with his eyes fixed on the ground, and would frequently stand fixed to one spot, lost in thought, for half an hour together. About six weeks after the battle of Eylau, an English gentleman was led by curiosity to visit the place, which was almost deserted by its inhabitants; the frost was just breaking up, and the streets presented a scene which chilled him with horror; they were covered with hundreds of slain, most of which were naked, and exhibited the destructive effects of the bullet, the bayonet and the sabre. The countenance of many were marked with all the fierceness of savage, and the agony of expiring nature - one uncommonly tall and athletic man, he observed, had had his skull cloven by the stroke of a sabre, which was not stopped till it reached the lower jaw: He remarked, that the Russians and French were easily distinguishable by the difference in color. After the battle, the French cut large holes in the ice, and threw hundreds of their dead into the river; these, on the breaking up of the frost floated, and rendered the river a scene of horror, equal with that of the streets. - Lond. pap.
New Pamphlet. - We have just received by mail a highly interesting pamphlet, written by Joseph Hamilton Davies, Esq. of Kentucky, the object of which is to convict Mr. Jefferson of extreme remissness in regard to the Burr & Wilkinson conspiracy. We have no room here for extracts; but the following one is too interesting to be omitted: - Ev. Post.
To General Wilkinson. "You feel deeply aggrieved, no doubt, by this pamphlet. Sir, the courts are open to you; and that you may have no difficulty in selecting the actionable words, I now state. - "That you have been, for years, a pensioner of Spain, and have held secret intelligence with that power; and you were engaged in Burr's conspiracy, and deserted him."

BARBADOES, AUG. 15.
The accumulation of British prisoners of war at Guadaloupe has been immense; and while the Captain General, ERNOUF, manifests a vindictive spirit towards our naval commander, by withholding all exchange with him, in consequence, as he pretends, of our Admiral having sent the Adjutant-General Fiortod to England, where he
had broken his parole, he artfully holds out to our unfortunate seamen in his power, the only alternative of a perpetual prison, or a breach of their allegiance by entering on board his privateers. It is a fact, which we state from good authority, that of 212 British seamen prisoners at Guadaloupe, from 80 to 90 desponding of exchange, and after being almost a year in miserable confinement, have recently entered into the enemy's service, and are cruising in their privateers against the subjects of their own Sovereign! However we may condemn this conduct in these men, there certainly is an extenuation of their disloyalty, in their long sufferings and misfortunes, which should have some weight in our judgment on them hereafter.
Col. Sir John Wardlaw is no less a sufferer from the malicious system of Ernouf, than the meanest prisoner, and still remains, after five or six months captivity, with as little chance of being released or exchanged as any of them; and this, too, notwithstanding much interest has been made by many respectable Frenchmen of Guadaloupe, and a memorial from the Masonic Fraternity of that island, presented in his behalf to the unrelenting Captain-General. We regret to add also, that his wounds, as late as the 27th ult. remained unhealed, & his general health much impaired.
HALIFAX, OCT. 2. COURT MARTIAL.
On Friday the 18th ult. a Court Martial was held on board H. M. S. Acasta.
PRESENT.
FRANCIS PICKMORE, Esq. Capt. of H. M. S. Ramillies, and third officer in command at Halifax, President.
CAPTAINS.
Wm. C. Fahie, Philip Benver, R. H. Ld. Fitzroy, Edward Hawkeye, John Shortland, N. D. Cochran.
In pursuance of an order from the commander in chief, the Court proceeded to the trial of forty-four seamen and one private marine, of H. M. S. Jason, charged with having - "on or about the 5th of September, while that ship lay at anchor in the Narrows, at the entrance of New-York harbor, made, or endeavoured to make, a mutinous assembly, and for concealing the same: - Also, for attempting to take possession of the ship from the officers, for the purpose of deserting in the boats."
The court continued to sit, by adjournments, every day (Sundays excepted) until Tuesday, the 29th ult. - When, having heard the evidence in support of the charges, also what the prisoners, collectively and individually, had to offer in their defence; and most maturely and deliberately weighed and considered the whole, the charges were found to be fully proved against - Thomas Campbell, William Caton, Mouney Tinning, Robert Dinen, Peter Bond, seamen; and Patrick Brown, marine; and in part against - John M'Neil, William Lang, Edward Milton, Joseph Molena, and Thomas Martin, seamen; on whom sentence of death was then pronounced in the usual form. - But, in consequence of certain circumstances, the Court most humbly recommended the five last named criminals to his Majesty's Royal mercy.
The charges not being proved against the remaining thirty-four seamen, they were therefore - acquitted.
This is another melancholy and incontrovertible proof of the effects which the conduct and declarations of the American Government are calculated to produce - various plans have, at different times, been suggested by the enemies of Great Britain, to distress and reduce her Navy - northern coalitions have threatened to cut off its supplies - infernal engines, submarine fires and explosions, have been invented, to destroy those floating castles, which were known to be invincible in fair and open combat; but all have, hitherto, failed; and it remained for the French party in America, to suggest a plan, which must inevitably succeed, if persisted in - to offer encouragement and protection to mutineers and deserters - seduce the seamen and then - a fig for the ships - But we trust that his majesty's government, while sending fleets to protect the commerce of the Baltic, will perceive and parry the blow, which is aimed at the vitals of Great Britain, from that quarter of the world.
HALIFAX, OCT. 13.
Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, William Caton and Mouney Tinning, two of the unfortunate men who were sentenced to death on the 27th ult. for mutiny on board His Majesty's frigate Jason, were executed at the fore-yard-arm of that ship - Campbell, Bond, Brown, and Dinen, alias Mathews, were also sentenced to death, were respited; after they had ascended the platform.
As a justification of their conduct, these men had agreed together to persist in a charge of cruelty against their officers, under the idea that such a conduct would excite so compassionate an interest in their favor, as would ultimately lead to their pardon; and so general had been the compassion excited, that a petition had been presented in their behalf by the Marine Humane Society. - Their execution was in consequence delayed, and the strictest enquiries instituted, until the Commander in Chief had become so fully satisfied of the falsehood of the charges; and of the criminal
ity of Caton and Tinning, in particular, that mercy could not, without injury to the service, be extended to them. - Just as these men were leaving the cabin to ascend the platform, the whole six expecting to suffer, burst into tears, and, addressing the reverend Gentlemen who attended them, said, "they could not bear to go out of the world with a lie in their mouths. - That the charges they had stated against their officers were not true, and had only been made by them, in hopes to excite compassion. They requested those gentlemen to commit to writing this, their dying declaration, and they would all sign it." - This was accordingly done, and having been favored with it, it is with the utmost satisfaction we communicate it to the public. - They also, at the awful moment of their departure, declared that they, with the men recommended to mercy, had combined to criminate their officers. They asked pardon of their officers for their injudicious conduct in aspersing their characters, and exhibited the strongest marks of penitence and contrition.
We, the undersigned, most solemnly declare, before the Rev. Dr. Stancer, and the Rev. George Wright, as we shall answer at the day of judgment, that we have never been tyrannically, or ill-treated by Capt. Cochran, or any of the officers of His Majesty's ship Jason, but on the contrary, have always met with good usage, and have nothing to complain of.

Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated Oct. 9.
"We have received here by the packet, accounts of the arrival in England of the U. S. Schooner Revenge, with instructions relative to the Chesapeake affair. Our apprehensions of war still continue. It is said our Governor has received orders to embody 2000 militia; that three regiments of regular troops for this place have been embarked from Cork; and that six of the regiments now at Copenhagen, are under orders to proceed hither."
The measures of the British relative to Canada and Nova-Scotia, appear to indicate suspicions that our government is determined upon hostilities, and that ordinary concessions may not avert them.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 17.
Letter Stealing. - We have taken some pains to ascertain the truth of a story which has been in circulation since yesterday, relative to the purloining of a packet of letters. The following appear to be the prominent facts: - Some time yesterday one of the branch pilots came up to town with a package of letters which he had received from a British armed schooner off the capes of Delaware, and which he was to deposit in the post-office. The package was endorsed, according to custom, with the name of vice admiral Berke-ley, and addressed to Mr. Erskine, the British minister at Philadelphia.
The pilot instead of taking the package to the post-office, delivered it to a person whose name we will not at present mention, who undertook to have it taken care of, and who, as he says, was on his way to the post-office to deposit it, when he met with another person, who for the present shall also be nameless. This man, who is attached to the Aurora office, seeing the package, took the person who had possession of it into the office and the package was sent into a back apartment. After a little while Duane came forward and told the person that he need give himself no further trouble about the package, for that he [Duane] would take care of it. The person demanded that it should be re-delivered to him but Duane answered that it was no longer within his control; that it had been put under cover and sent to Washington. Upon enquiry at the post-office, however, it was ascertained that nothing of the kind had passed through the office.
These facts may be relied upon as substantially correct. Comment upon such a transaction would be entirely superfluous to men who have any of the usual notions of morality or honor. As an appeal will probably be made by the injured party to the laws of the land, it would be improper at present to discuss the subject in the Gazette.
It is hinted, there is a State in the American union, in which the Chief Magistrate , so called, has about as much authority as Louis XVIII of France had, when Robespierre, Danton, and Marat formed the Revolutionary Council , in Paris. Query - Which of the States can this be? - Genl.

Col. Burr's Trial.
RICHMOND, OCT. 20.
Thursday, Oct. 15, was wholly occupied by Mr. Wickham.
Friday was wholly occupied by Mr. McRea.
On Saturday, a Mr. Power, from New Orleans, (who turned out to be a subject of the king of Spain) was introduced by col. Burr as a witness - by whom [as he asserted] he intended to authenticate certain papers, and to prove that gen. Wilkinson was in the habit of receiving money from the Spanish government. The avowed object of establishing this charge, against the general, was, to impeach his credibility, by contradicting some parts of his testimony, and to show that his motive for defeating the project of Burr, was not patriotism, but to prevent an invasion of the territories of the king, in whose pay he was himself.
The chief justice decided that the evidence was admissible, and that Mr. Power should be examined. He was therefore sworn, and questioned as to what he knew concerning certain correspondence between the Baron de Carondelet and general Wilkinson.
Mr. Power addressed the court with respect but firmness, and declared that, being a subject to the king of Spain, he could not, without violating his duty and honor, give an account of any political transactions, which the service of the king his master required to be concealed. He stated that he had come hither from New Orleans with great reluctance; an agent of col. Burr who served a subpoena upon him having threatened him with imprisonment in case he refused; but he hoped the court would not compel him to give the evidence which had been demanded.
The council for col. Burr insisted that, whether he was a Spanish subject or not, he was now within the power of the court, and ought to be compelled to disclose whatever he knew.
The chief justice decided in their favor, and required the witness to proceed with his testimony.
Mr. Power, however, resolutely refused. Time was therefore allowed until three o'clock to consider whether he would obey the judge or not. At that hour he came again into court; but, [Mr. Wirt being then engaged in speaking] no notice was taken of his appearance.
Mr. Wirt began his discourse between 12 and 1 o'clock, but had not finished when the hour of adjournment arrived. His speech, so far as he progressed, shone with his usual fire of eloquence, and was peculiarly luminous in argument.
The court adjourned 'till Monday ten o'clock.
Monday, Oct. 19 - 12 o'clock. Nearly the whole of this day was occupied by Mr. Wirt, who concluded his able speech about two o'clock - after which Mr. Power and Mr. Swartwout were again called and examined. The evidence and arguments of counsel having been concluded the court adjourned till this day [Tuesday eleven o'clock, when it is understood the final opinion of the Chief Justice will be delivered.
Opinion of the Chief Justice. 12 o'clock - The court has just delivered a long and elaborate opinion, in which it determines, that "it would be improper to commit the accused on the charge of treason."
The conclusion of the opinion is as follows: "I shall commit Aaron Burr and Herman Blannerhasset for preparing and providing the means for a military expedition against the territories of a foreign Prince with whom the U. S. were at peace. It is those whose province and duty it is to prosecute offenders against the laws of the laws of the United States shall be of opinion that a crime of a darker dye has been committed, it is not their choice to act in conformity with that opinion. Israel Smith is not proved to have provided or prepared any means whatever, and therefore I shall not commit him. If he has really offended against the laws he may be prosecuted for the treason in Kentucky, or for the misdemeanor in his own State, where, if any where, his offence has been committed."
Mr. Hay moved to have A. B. and H. B. committed for trial in the District of Ohio.
TRIAL OF COM. BARRON.
NORFOLK, OCT. 19.
On Saturday the examination of the witnesses before the Court of Inquiry held on board the Chesapeake commenced. Four of the officers were examined, but considering ourselves restricted from publishing any part of the testimony, we shall only observe that the proceedings of the court were conducted with great candour and decorum. The witnesses gave very clear,
and as far as we could judge, very impartial testimony.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS information has been received that a number of individuals who have deserted from the army of the United States, and sought shelter without the jurisdiction thereof, have become sensible of their offence, and are desirous of returning to their duty, a full pardon is hereby proclaimed to each and all of such individuals as shall, within four months from the date hereof, surrender themselves, to the commanding officer of any military post within the United States, or the territories thereof.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand.
Done at the city of Washington, the fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the thirty-second.

NEW-YORK, OCT. 24.
Fire at Fredericksburg, Virg.
Yesterday's mail brought accounts of a dreadful fire, which has destroyed a great part of that flourishing town. The following is an extract of a letter from Messrs. Thomas Seddon & Co. dated Falmouth, 19th October.
"We shall probably be the first to communicate, so you a dreadful calamity which this day befel Fredericksburg at 11 o'clock, and during a very severe storm of wind from north west - A fire broke out in the large house upon the hill formerly occupied by Mrs. Carter, nearly opposite Mr. Patton's store, which soon communicated to Main-street, and burnt every house below the one formerly occupied by Stone & Green to Henderson's corner. It crossed the street at the corner below Ross's large brick house, and destroyed every house on the side of the street down as low as J. H. Bawlin & Co's. It burnt all the houses on the river as low as the Bank, which is now in flames, (with the exception of James Brown's dwelling house) Great fears are entertained for a great deal of paper in the vaults of the bank, which was not removed. It is impossible at this moment to say the damage that has been sustained. 200,000 dollars, is not, perhaps, too large a calculation. A great sum for Fredericksburg. Adam Cook and Henderson, we are informed, are among the greatest sufferers."
"This fire happened a few minutes before the great Race was to have been run; and of course few people were at home: - which added much to the loss that most persons have sustained."
BOSTON, OCT. 30.
From Malaga - Capt. Foster, from Malaga, who arrived in the outer harbour yesterday, in a short passage, says, it was reported there that French troops were to occupy the ports of Spain. Such may be the pretence to conceal the design and preparation for an attack on Gibraltar.
A report of the surrender of Copenhagen had reached Malaga.
Capt. Lovell, has arrived at Baltimore 38 days from Bordeaux. If there is no error, he must have sailed about the 14th of Sept. Some allowance, however, must be made for delay in the river. He reports, that an army had passed through Bordeaux, supposed for Portugal; that 50,000 troops had been ordered to assist the Danes; that he did not hear of the surrender of Copenhagen; but that the houses in the environs had been burned.
Duane and the Letter. - What would have been said of a federal editor if he had been as officious about a letter to the French Minister, as Duane has been as to one directed to the British Ambassador. The letter was sent to Washington, while the Ambassador was at Philadelphia. I did not know it, (says D.) but it would have made no odds if I had. - PAL.
Should we not be indignant if we read in a Liverpool paper, at this day, (when the important question of peace or war is about to be decided between England and America) - "That dispatches for the American Ministers had been brought to the city from a United States vessel, by the pilot, for the purpose of being deposited in the post-office; but that this pilot gave them to a second person, who gave them to a third, who carried them to the editor of a paper violently opposed to America, who refused to return them to the person he had them from, but afterwards said he had sent them to the British Minister for Foreign Affairs? The American Ministers being at the same time at Liverpool on a visit." - Ibid.
It is rather extra, after all that has been said about a "disassembly of the Union," that the threat should have originated in a Democratic Society in Virginia, and that Burr, and his democratic coadjutors, should be the first indicted for the misdemeanor. But such things are. - Cent.
Letters from the southward state confidently that our government has
purchased the Floridas, of Spain; and that the purchase money is five millions of dollars.
There is a report from Newfoundland, via Halifax, that the Danish fleet had been surrendered to the English, after an obstinate resistance. No dates are given.

Communication.
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE. MR. ADAMS,
WHILST the Jeffersonian party were striving for power, one of their principal accusations against the federalists, was, that the commercial interests and rights of the United States had been sacrificed to Great Britain by the ratification of the treaty negotiated by Mr. Jay. Notwithstanding the adoption of this treaty, proved highly beneficial to the interests of this country, & has given the lie to one of the many false charges brought against the measures of the Washington and Adams administrations, yet, it has not in the least deterred Mr. Jefferson and his party from the pursuit of a system of conduct which threatens to involve the country in war and ruin. Had the British government been willing, and it is understood they were, to have renewed the treaty ratified by President Washington, Mr. Jefferson and his ministers could not, with the least consistency, have consented; for it would have contradicted all their former declarations, and rendered them the laughing stock of their own party. The only way left to make good their declarations, and still deceive the people, was, to insist on certain points which were said to have been improperly relinquished in the former treaty. The one insisted on most, is an acknowledgment on the part of Great Britain, that the flag of the United States shall be a sufficient protection for all persons sailing under it, of whatever nation, rank or description they may be. If this is not granted, it appears we are to try the "tug of war" with a nation who at a single stroke can annihilate three fourths of our commerce, and reduce thousands, who are now in affluence; and who by their industry and enterprise, find a market for the produce of the farm, & employment for the mechanic, and contribute large sums to the support of government, to bankruptcy and want. But granting we are able to contend with England, and that after the sacrifice of millions of money and thousands of lives, we gain the point - is it an object worth contending for? England does not contend for the right of impressing American citizens, when known to be such; but says she wants and will have her own - That her very political existence requires the aid of all her subjects. One would suppose from the national prejudices of the present administration, the going to war to afford protection to English runaways, deserters and mutineers, would never have been thought of; but I presume Mr. Jefferson considers them as the "oppress'd of humanity," and of course it would be cruel and unphilosophical not to endeavour to protect them, at every hazard, when "seeking an asylum." It is the sentiment of the present ad-
ministration to give to the refuse of every country in Europe, a hearty welcome, the moment they land in the country. Another point in dispute with England, is the modern principle that free ships make free goods. However desirable the acknowledgment of this right might be to every neutral nation, concerned in commerce, it is not in the power of the government of the U. S. to obtain it at present.
What are Mr. Jefferson's means for contending with Great Britain? Will his 100,000 militia be able to make head against the wooden walls of England? Will he embark the salvation of the country on board his favorite Gun-Boats? But those who have got or expect to obtain offices under the present administration will say it is wrong to expose the weak and defenceless situation of the country, and that whatever Mr. Jefferson does now he ought to be supported in, as the chief magistrate of the country. Those who wish for war will undoubtedly approve the present policy; those who wish for peace, will condemn it. When a rupture has once taken place, it will be too late to talk of avoiding it. In the mean time it is the solemn duty of every citizen of the United States to divest himself of party prejudices and examine the measures of men in office. The question of war or peace is as interesting to democrats as federalists. All classes and professions will be equal sufferers in the calamity.
* It would be both illiberal and unjust to apply this character to all who have come to this country of late; there are numbers who have left Europe to reside in the U. States, whose information and habits of industry and sobriety render them valuable members of society. These are not Runaways, Mutineers, Deserters and exported Pat-riots.

NO NEWS.
IT is now 54 days since the last London dates: of course, we have no further information of the probable result of the dispute between the United States and G. Britain. Every thing relating to it remains at present in doubt and uncertainty - one thing, however, is certain: - this state of uncertainty cannot continue long.
It is stated on the authority of a letter from London, that it is the opinion of Mr. Monroe, that if war should take place between this country and England, hostilities will commence on the part of the U. States.
THE MESSAGE.
The President's Message will unquestionably be received in the course of this week, but it is not probable that it will give much information respecting our foreign relations; but we expect to see much in praise of Gun-Boats and Spanish Bargains.
FROM ST. CROIX.
On the 5th ult. the British cut all the vessels out of the west end of St. Croix, except the Enterprise, Lovell, of Boston, who escaped with the loss of 15 birds rum.
[Boston paper.]
[We much doubt the correctness of the above article as to the extent of the capture, having seen a letter from the captain of a vessel to his owners in this town, dated St. Croix, October the 8th, who informs that on the night of the 6th, "two English men of war took out of the west end of the Island several Drogers and three American vessels on suspicion of having Dan. property on board, and sent them to Tortola."
The War-department agents, we learn have purchased large quantities of duck, canvas, &c. for tents, &c. and vessels, we also hear, have been chartered by government to transport stores from the middle States to Charleston, to build fortifications. This looks a little hazy. - Centinel.
The Philadelphia Freeman's Journal, mentions, that Mr. Erskine, the British Minister had received the intercepted dispatches, from the city of Washington.
A considerable number of members of the National Legislature have already arrived in the city; and there does not exist a doubt of a quorum of the two Houses being formed on Monday. If so, it is probable the Message of the President will be delivered on Tuesday. - Nat. Intelligencer, Oct. 13.
The Triumph of Democracy.
Every jacobin paper in the United States is boasting of the complete triumph of democracy in Vermont, and congratulating each other on the election of Israel Smith, to the office of Governor in the room of the virtuous, enlightened and patriotic Tichenor, who has for a number of years ably and faithfully executed the office of Chief Magistrate of that state. Every department is now occupied by thoroughgoing democrats who have commenced their political career in the true spirit of the Jeffersonian creed. The following article shows the republican perfectibility of the Legislature of Vermont.
The "enlightened" Assembly of Vermont, are very busy in legislating for
Congress. Among other subjects on the anvil, they are modelling a new patch for the Federal Constitution, to give the President, who they have always contended had too much power, the additional authority to remove the Judges of the Supreme Judicial Court, on the address of Congress. They are also, and likewise, getting up an address to Mr. Jefferson on the subject of the right of search - a subject they are perfectly well acquainted with, and particularly interested in. They have also repealed all the laws relating to the support of the Gospel. - Yeas 105. Nays 71. - Cent.
A late London paper, mentions, that M c General Grant has announced the discovery of Longitude by a Mathematical Instrument, which shews the rate of a ship sailing continually with the greatest accuracy. This instrument is connected with others, which point out the rate of the ship, her latitude and longitude in direct or oblique sailing.

The sch. Brother-and-Sister, lately arrived at Charleston, brought in there thirty negroes who had been convicted of crimes in Jamaica, and sentenced to transportation. Tho' the crime of these "infatuated men" was "seeking through blood and slaughter their long lost liberty;" and though other men, equally infatuated, are welcomed to our shores, as good recruits to democracy, yet these black rebels were refused an "asylum," and ordered to quit the port. It is supposed they will be landed at New-Orleans.
The schr. Maria, Whitesides, 18 days from Charleston, for Madeira, put into Savannah, 8th ult. in distress, having carried away both masts by the board, in long. 72, in a gale.

Poetry.
SCOTIA'S GLENS.
By James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd. Mong Scotia's glens, and mountains blue, Where Galla's lilies never grew, Where Roman eagles never flew, Nor Danish lions rallied; Where skulls the roe in anxious fear, Where roves the stately nimble deer— There live the lads to freedom dear, By foreign yokes ne'er galled.
There woods grow wild on ev'ry hill, There live men winter at their will; Sure Scotland will be Scotland still, While hearts so brave defend her. Fear not! our Sovereign liege they cry, We've flourish'd fair beneath thine eye; For thee we'll fight, for the we'll die, Nor ought but life surrender.
Since thou has watch'd our every need, And taught our navies wide to spread, The smallest hair from thy grey head No foreign foe shall sever. Thy honour'd age in peace to save, The sternest host we'll dauntless brave; Or scatter the stoutest Indian wave, No heart nor hand shall waver.
Though nations join yon tyrant's arm, While Scotland's noble blood runs warm, Our good old man we'll guard from harm, Or fall in heaps around him: Although the Irish harp were won, And England's roses all o'er-run, 'Mong Scotia's glens, wi' sword and gun, 'We'll form a bulwark round him.
FROM THE N.Y. "CITIZEN," [A well known democratic paper]
EPITAPH
To be inscribed on the Tomb-Stone of Tom PAINE. Reader, beneath this stone lies old Tom PAINE, Who living lied—now dead, he lies again— Since Tom's no more, glance lightly o'er his merits: He's ne'er grown, altho' in midst of spirits
THOUGHTS.
THE greatest infidels have given testimony in favor of religion. "Whenever society is established," says Voltaire, "there it is necessary to have religion; for religion which watches over the crimes that are secret, is in fact, the only law which a man carries about with him; the only one which places the punishment at the side of the guilt; and which operates as forcibly in solitude and darkness, as in the broad and open face of day."
Self-righteousness is one of the strongest holds from which the sinner must be driven. He never quits it, indeed, until he finds his cause desperate, and expects no more relief from it. If youth be spent in idleness and dissipation, manhood is likely to be contemptible, and old age miserable.
There are instances where those rich in this world, are also rich in faith & in good works; but too often it is lamentably otherwise. Too often are they found encouragers of vice and dissipation; or at the best they discover no taste for spiritual things.
It is a just saying of Plutarch, that men of weak abilities put into great places, are like little statues set on great bases; made to appear the less by their advancement.
Some men seem to be so important in their own eyes, as to think that the welfare if not the very existence of the church or state depends upon their lives. This is not a sentiment which either reason or religion teaches. "When I reflect," says Pope in a letter to Steele, what an inconsiderable little atom every single man is, with respect to the whole creation, methinks, 'tis a shame to be concerned at the removal of such a trivial animal as I am. The morning after my exit the sun will rise as bright as ever, the flowers smell as sweet, the plants spring as green, the world will proceed in its old course, people will laugh as heartily and marry as fast as they were used to do."—Balance.

New Boarding House & Refectory for Private Parties.
THE Subscriber respectfully acquaints the citizens of Portland and the public in general, that he has established a HOTEL at the corner of Love-Lane and Middle-Street, under the denomination of the RESTORATOR; a resort for the infirm in health, the convalescent, and those whose attention to sedentary employments occasions a lassitude of nature—where they can obtain the most suitable nourishment. This plan unites usefulness with economy; for as spirits are not to be abused therein, and gaming disallowed, its obviousness is apparent; its economy will be obvious, when it is known that every person can here call for as much or as little as he can please, and pay for no more than he consumes. Excellent Wines and Cordials, good Soups and Broths, Pastry in all its delicious variety, Alameda Beef, Bacon, Poultry, and generally all other refreshment and viands will be kept in due preparation, and a bill of fare will be constantly ready for exhibition, from which each visitor may command whatever may best suit his appetite. As this institution is founded on utility and convenience, and has been productive of great benefits in European Cities, the subscriber contemplates the patronage of the public, to merit which his best endeavours shall be made, and his gratitude acknowledged every favor. Private Parties will here find every accommodation. G. LABOTTIERRE.

ST. GEORGE'S MILLS.
THE Subscriber offers for Sale, his MILLS, lately the property of General H. Knox situated in the town of Warren, and county of Lincoln, and a little above the head of Navigation, on the great Falls of St. George's River—together with the Lands and Buildings thereto adjoining and belonging. The natural advantages that here present themselves, together with the very great improvements that have been made at this Mill-Seat, render it one of the first, if not the very first situation, for that branch of business in the District of Maine. There are three distinct Saw Mills, each of which contains two Saws. One of said Mills, is of a very unusual length, and calculated more particularly for sawing dimension Lumber: it will saw a stick upwards of sixty feet in length. This long Mill contains also, a gang of seven Saws, moving together, and cutting a log into six boards at one operation, but is remarkably well adapted to the cutting of vesel planks, making them as equal in thickness, as smooth and perfect, in every respect as those sawed by hand. There is also, a Grist Mill, of the best kind and construction, whose custom is from 6 to 10 bushels per day, thro' the year; with a Bolting machine for the manufacture of Flour. The supply of water is very abundant, (with the exception of the three driest months of the year) to keep four of the Saws in motion, and for four months in the year, will keep them all going together, with the grist Mill; and there is no part of the year (except an unusual dry season) when two Saws may not be employed, even in the three summer months. Each of the Saws is capable of cutting four thousand of boards a day—The fall of water, is 15 feet on an average. The St. George's River, which together with its Ponds, extends thirty miles into the back Country, affords upon its banks an all most inexhaustible supply of Lumber, of various sorts, well adapted to the Saw Mill. In addition to the Mill, the Canal is also offered for Sale, with all its privileges, as established by Law: This Canal is a magnificent work, connecting the waters above said Mills with the tide waters, and Calculated as well for the use of the Mills, as the Lumber Merchants of the Back country; as very much of the Lumber of that extensive Country passes thro' them to the head of navigation; making them productive of a revenue of more than 500 dollars a year exclusive of the advantage derived to the Mills from them. This Canal may fairly be calculated, on as a progressive and certain revenue. Adjoining the Mills, is a Farm of about 150 acres of excellent Land; one half of which, is cleared, and under improvement, lying on both sides of the river; and in every point of view, whether of soil, situation, or increasing value, is an object of great importance. On this farm, is a large, handsome and well finished mansion House, Barn and our houses; a large Store, and Tenements for work people, with a Cooper's shop, beautifully situated upon the bank of the river, and one quarter of a mile above the Village. This estate is an extremely pleasant summer residence; To a Merchant or Trader, it is decidedly the best stand on the river, for the Lumber trade; and is generally considered by those who are best acquainted with it, as one of the most eligible situations for business in this part of the country. Any person inclined to purchase, on application to EBENEZER THACHER, Esq. living on the premises, can view the place, and receive any further information respecting the peculiar advantages of this estate. Possession will be given on the first of March next. If not sold previous to that time, the whole of this valuable property will be Let at an annual rent, or on shares as may be agreed upon. For terms of sale, apply to H. JACKSON. Boston, September 1 1807. (14)
