Miscellany.
THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
Though it is not now very probable the Peace of our country will be interrupted by the events which have lately excited so much sensibility; we yet hope the excitement will stimulate Americans to be prepared for defensive and offensive War, by placing our sea coast in an impregnable state of defence; by the equipment of a formidable Navy; and by a more strict attention to the discipline of the Militia.—As one step to the last mentioned desideratum, let the "Minute Men" now in requisition, consider themselves as men in service; and aspire to every perfection of the soldier.—Let them subject themselves to deprivations; to severe exercise; and discipline their minds to that hardihood so necessary in the field of battle.—And let our citizens contribute their aid to the inspiration, by every encouragement in their power. If the following parody, the effect of a leisure moment, shall swell one bosom of the 100,000 in requisition, with heroic ardor, the selector will feel abundantly rewarded.—Cent.
THE Yankee * soldier sees the foe, His heart with steady joy beats high; And onward now behold him go, Resolv'd to conquer or to die. On all sides should the bullets fly, Wide spread, and loud the cannon's sound, He sees unmoved his comrades die, Or bleeding on the chilly ground. Still mark THE SOLDIER's fearless eye. As "for ward," "for ward," still he goes; And hark! the war-shout rends the sky, Now, now, he rushes on his foes. For Yankee valor deepliest glows In the dread hour of doubtful life— When fierce the polish'd bay nets close, And man meets man in mortal strife. And where are Warriors to be found, To match the Yankee Soldier's might? His brows shall be with laurels crown'd, For he shall vanquish in the fight. His foes shall be dispers'd in flight, Drunk in an untimely grave, He will make good his country's right— His Country's thanks shall crown the brave
NOTE.
* This is a term of reproach only with the ignorant, and the lowest order of imported citizens.—It is a general pronoun for "American," known throughout Europe, and is of honorable derivation.
CANTON, MARCH 6, 1807.
"We are every hour afraid of a rupture between the English and Chinese, in consequence of the death of a Chinese, from the accidental stroke of a club, by an English sailor.
"The Chinese demanded an Englishman to die, conformably to the laws of their country, and the English have refused, being unable to find out the person who gave the blow. In consequence, the vice-roy of this province, gave orders yesterday to stop their trade, and, in all probability, the next step will be to intercept their supplies, and seize on some person of the factory; a circumstance which must produce the most serious consequences. "I understand the English have no objection to giving up a man, provided they could find the guilty person; and surely they cannot be blamed, for spurning at the idea of making an innocent man suffer. God only knows how it will end! They are allowed three days more to decide, and if then they do not comply, it is thought the Chinese will endeavor to compel them; should they be foolish enough to attempt the latter plan, I think they will get a sound drubbing, as the English now have a force at Whampoa, and Bocca-Tigris, of near two thousand able bodied men, and all eager for the attack."
Without advertizing to the consequences which may result to the persons and property of the British subjects in China, or to the intercourse of the two nations from this occurrence....we may be permitted to exult in the superior justice of those institutions, by which, punishment is limited to the guilty, and the innocent are exempted from the rigor of retaliation....And, we may be allowed to hope, that the contrast of moderation on the part of the American Government and People, under national & individual wrongs, of the most aggravated nature, will not be lost on the British Nation....but, that a representation proportioned to the outrage and indignity, according to the most correct construction of criminal law, and the practice of civilized nations, will be instantly accorded to expiate offences, which, a less enlightened or more vengeful policy, than that of our country, would have atoned by the Blood of Thousands. The accounts of these occurrences in the eastern and western hemispheres, will be received in England about the same time....and will furnish ample ground for public reflection, on the necessity of checking excesses....which, if persisted in, must place her in enmity with the whole World, and eventuate in the overthrow of her Empire.—Phila. Reg.
MADISON'S PAMPHLET.
A pamphlet has lately been issued, entitled, "All impressments unlawful and inadmissible." It is written by the Secretary of State, and seems to be at this time sent forth to convince us of the correctness of the ground on which our administration insists on the right of making our flag a protection in all cases of the seamen sailing under it.
It certainly exhibits more candor than policy to put arguments into the mouth of your antagonist, (of some of which he would perhaps have never thought) which you are yourself unable to refute.
Mr. Madison informs Mr. Munroe that the principal arguments used by the British government will be the three following. "You will be told, 1st, of the great number of British seamen in the American trade, and of the necessity of their services in time of war and danger. 2dly, of the right and the prejudice of the British nation with respect to what are called the British or narrow seas, where its domain would be abandoned by the general stipulations required. 3dly, of the use which would be made of such a sanctuary as that of American vessels, for desertions and traitorous communications with her enemies, especially across the channel to France."
To these arguments Mr. Madison replies. 1st. "With respect to the British seamen serving in our trade, it may be remarked, that the number, though considerable, is probably less than may be supposed." But cannot an Englishman with equal force say; the number is allowed to be considerable, and is probably more than may be supposed?
2d. "What is wrong in itself cannot be made right by considerations of expediency or advantage."—Will not an Englishman say; It is wrong in itself for you to hold thousands of our subjects, when we most need them in this time of war and danger; therefore the expediency or advantage to you cannot make the holding of them right.
3d. "It is proved by the fact that the number of British subjects gained by the practice in question, is of considerable importance even in the scale of advantage." Of this third reply of Mr. Madison, we have found it impossible to ascertain the meaning.
Another argument used by Mr. Madison is, that British seamen in the American trade, by encreasing British commerce, render Great-Britain "the most valuable services:" And he makes the first point whether their restoration would be of any advantage to Britain.—To take or to answer such observations as arguments, is only wasting time and paper.
On the second point, the right claimed by the British over the narrow seas, Mr. Madison objects that she is entitled to this domain, neither by treaties nor the laws of nations; that "long usage and long acquiescence," only have given it to her.—But she claims no domain over these seas, as it respects us, farther than a search for her own subjects.
On the third point, the facility given to the escape of traitors and deserters, especially in the British channel, Mr. Madison only says, that if they had any right, it would be only to seize persons described, and in vessels bound to a hostile country. From the commencement of the war, to Sept. 1801, Mr. M. says 2059 persons were claimed from the British as Americans, most of those have been discharged; but 807 were detained for further proof of American citizenship. We had supposed the number much greater; the impressment of Americans has certainly increased in a greater proportion since 1801.
The leading points are these: Great-Britain is willing to relinquish the right of search for her subjects on the high seas, but will never yield her supposed right on the seas
surrounding the British Isles. Her situation is peculiar; her existence depends on her navy; her navy must be manned; she is engaged in a most awful and dangerous war, and wants the service of all her subjects. We hold thousands of them; and our government is determined to shield them; nay claims the right of protecting all, deserters, traitors, &c. The grand question is, Shall we go to war to screen British seamen in our vessels near the waters of G. Britain?"
Cannot an arrangement be made? Let us give them the right claimed, in time of war, under certain modes and restrictions; then, though we have much commerce through those seas, we have native and naturalized seamen enough to conduct it; while British seamen in our employment may be engaged elsewhere.
Let our President follow and protect foreigners as much as he pleases on our own shores; but shall we be plunged in all the horrors and calamities of war, to protect foreigners who have no just claim to such protection, at the expense of so much blood and treasure? [Boston Gazette.]
WESTPORTLAND, JULY 4.
The 31st Anniversary of the American Independence was celebrated by a large and respectable number of Ladies in this vicinity: The Columbian flag, a true ensign of victory and independence, was hoisted at 10 o'clock, on the green near the meeting-house. A verdant arbor, inviting a rural repast, was provided. The Ladies met at the house of Mr. Solomon Purdy; and at 2 o'clock, under the direction of Mrs. POMEROY and Mrs. SULLIVAN, walked in handsome procession to Mr. Gilmore's hall, where Mrs. N. PURDY delivered a very pertinent and impressive Oration—a few gentlemen attending as spectators. A prayer was then made by a clergyman present. After which a decent table was spread, and the following Toasts were given by Mrs. N. PURDY, which were signalized by the soft, clear and musical discharge of small cannon, a fit emblem of female eloquence.
The Earth of July—May it ever be celebrated with grateful remembrance by every freeborn daughter of Columbia.
WASHINGTON, the illustrious Champion of Liberty—May his name be remembered by generations yet unborn.
Our aged Matrons, who reared those tender youth that fought valiantly for the independence of their country.
Modesty and Virtue—May they never be violated by a single daughter of Columbia.
Liberty and equality with our companions—May we never be driven to that point where degradation and dishonor begin.
The whole was conducted with that uncommon decency and propriety, which adds honor and lustre to the free-born daughters of America.
Capt. Maxwell, arrived at Portsmouth, from Havana. The day before he failed a vessel arrived at that place in 6 days from New-Orleans, a passenger in which informed Mr. M. that a duel had been fought between Governor Claiborne and Mr. Clark, the representative in Congress for that district. The challenge was given by governor Claiborne, and the duel fought about 75 miles within the Spanish territory. Governor C was wounded dangerously immediately under the right hip. The informant saw governor C brought into New-Orleans two days before he left that city; from the wound, and pain occasioned by travelling, serious apprehensions were entertained for the life of the governor.
Attention, Politeness and Respect!
It is said, that commodore Douglas sent his compliments to the ladies of Norfolk, advising those who were not fond of English balls to leave that place, as he should shortly give the citizens a treat, and that the ladies returned him word, "they would not avoid the pleasure of his company; but in return, their husbands and brothers would treat him with a favorite jig to the old tune of yankee doodle."—Baltimore pap.
ACCIDENT—On Saturday morning, two young men, (one an apprentice to Mr. Vanhult, Hatter, and the other a journeyman Taylor) who were on guard the preceding night, on being dismissed and on their way home, vied with each other which should go through the manual exercise with the greatest precision, when coming to the word fire, and forgetting their guns were loaded with ball and cartridge, they both discharged at the same moment—The latter instantly fell, the ball having perforated his body. He lived only a few minutes.—Norfolk Pap.
The Court of Inquiry on the conduct of commodore BARRON has been suspended on account of commodore PARKER's indispotion.
The citizens of Chesapeake, S. C. have had a meeting on the subject of the late affair on the Chesapeake.—Of the Committee, were the respectable names of Gen. C. P. Pinckney, Dr. Ramsay, Gen. Washington, Col. Knapton, &c.

Foreign Intelligence.
Abstract of the 74th Bulletin of the Grand Army, dated Finkenstein, May 16.
On the night of the 13 Prince Jerome captured several advanced posts near Neiss, which he has been sometime besieging. He made 120 prisoners and took nine pieces of cannon.
The Russians and Prussians have held a Council of War, at which it was determined that Dantzig could not be relieved by land without risking a general battle. It was therefore agreed to attempt its succour by sea. Accordingly Lt. Gen. Kaminski, Jan. with 2 Russian divisions, forming 12 regiments, and several Prussian regiments, embarked at Pillau May 12, 60 transports, convoyed by 3 frigates, landed at the mouth of the Vistula, in the port of Dantzig, under fort Weichselmunde. The Emperor ordered Lannes, with the Division of Oudinot, to reinforce the army of Lefebvre. He arrived when the enemy's army was landing. The battle took place May 15. The whole line and reserve of the enemy were routed and pursued to the palisades and blockaded in the fort.
The field of battle was covered with the slain. Our loss is 2 killed, 200 wounded; the enemy's, 900 killed, 1500 wounded, 200 prisoners. In the evening the Russians embarked a number of wounded, and fever & ague failed far Konigsberg. No folly was made from Dantzig, but a snare cannonade was kept up. Oudinot killed a Russian with his own hand. Several officers of the staff were wounded.
To divert the French from Dantzig, the enemy at the same time made attacks on all the French advanced posts. Before the division of Mirat, they lost a great number of men, and soon retreated. At Malga, they were repulsed by the Poles, had 60 men killed, a colonel and 2 captains. Gen. Souche overthrew
74's one 50 and a frigate; were boarded by an officer from the Leopard, who behaved with extreme politeness; inquired respecting the public mind at Baltimore, and was anxious to obtain newspapers, which were given to him. The officer requested the favor of being permitted to put the pilot on board any vessel which he might desire to take up, offering him accommodation for 2 or 3 days on board the Leopard.
BALTIMORE, JULY 11.
We are assured, by a gentleman of the first respectability, who arrived here from Washington last evening, and who, from the circle in which he moved while there, had the best opportunity of obtaining correct information, that com. Douglas, when he sent the Leopard to demand the American seamen from the Chesapeake, fully calculated upon a warm and terrible resistance. Not content with the superiority her number of guns gave to the Leopard, every American on board the ship, as well as all the sick, indisposed or disaffected seamen, were taken out, and their places supplied by more than one hundred chosen men from the other vessels. The Leopard was, also, in every other respect fully prepared to support the dreadful rencontre which the Commodore believed would necessarily take place.—Douglass, even in this act of violence, paid a compliment to the supposed resistance our ship would make. [Balt. Ev. Post.]
From NEW-YORK, JULY 21.
Yesterday afternoon, between the hours of 2 and 3, an immense concourse of people assembled on the Battery, to witness Mr. Fulton's experiment in blowing up ships of war by machinery. The experiment was made on a brig of 200 tons, but failed; it was repeated again about 4 o'clock, the explosion took place, but not near enough to do any damage. The 3d experiment was made 10 minutes before 7, and took effect. To a spectator on the Battery, the first object was a volume of smoke which rose from the middle of the vessel, the mainmast was thrown up, and in less than a minute she sunk to the bottom.
With respect to the utility of Mr. Fulton's plan, we are extremely doubtful.—We understand that Mr. Fulton some time since submitted since sub-
presses in the Union prevented from taking that high ground self justification, that fair occasion of proving our antagonists in the wrong from first to last, which would be afforded by publishing the documents, by which the native citizenship of these seamen was ascertained? It is a most tantalizing, provoking thing, that we are left to patch up any sort of a story about these men, by sometimes having them born here—sometimes there—sometimes of Irish parents—sometimes to make their citizenship most unequivocal, infusing a little aboriginal blood into their veins; when, if their citizenship has been discussed at Washington or Norfolk, and the regular proofs been adduced to ascertain their place of birth, &c. all might be published in one paper, and the whole world see we were not capable of shipping real British subjects, and deserters from a ship of war, on board of our national vessels, and then covering these deserters with our neutral flag.
We have observed that there are five or six men on board of Commodore Douglas's ship who claim American citizenship. Though the facts relating to their case, are of little consequence to the public, compared with the others, the particular circumstances of their names, age, description of person, state and town or plantation where born—vessel impressed from &c. have all been investigated—substantiated—sent to the British Commodore, and inserted in the papers.
If the citizenship of the Chesapeake men had been duly investigated, and ascertained, the same particulars respecting them must have been on hand, during all the anxious inquiries and contradictory reports, which have been circulated.— Repository.
It appears that no prospect of danger can prevent our thorough paced jacobins from indulging in their infernal spirit of slander and denunciation. As the accusations against the federalists are false, it is not surprising that they are totally inconsistent. Thus the Chronicle accuses them of a wish to damp the patriotism of the people, while the Lieutenant Governor's paper, the Agis , at the same time exclaims, why do the federalists bawl out for arms and defence? Why they want to plunge the country in a war.
The truth is the federalists feel that
President's orders to detach their quotas of "minute men." The Secretary of War is taking measures to fortify New-York. General Moreau attends him.
The drafted militia in Pennsylvania have been formed into 2 divisions—one commanded by Gen. Thomas Craig; the other by Gen. Joseph Heister.
THE TIMES.
On the subject of our national wrongs, we trust there is but one sentiment in the country. Men of all parties view the late conduct of the British on our coast, with mingled emotions of indignation and alarm. We are exposed and defenceless. War at this time would subject millions of our property to capture, and our sea-port towns to inevitable destruction. We have not an atom of naval protection. Our fortifications afford but the shadow of defence. We have scarcely guns enough mounted on our sea-coast to withstand the attack of a single ship of the line. And yet a spirit exists in our country that will not brook insult and aggression—a spirit that will impel us to avenge our wrongs at every hazard—a spirit.....but, hold—this spirit, unless it be properly cherished, and receive a due direction from the government, is worse than nothing. It will but serve to expose us to fresh outrages from the British, and the contempt of the world. Let our government then arouse! The voice of the people is loud and distinct. From one end of the union to the other, the exclamation is —WE ARE READY!—Balance.
FROM THE NEW-YORK SPECTATOR.
"Let us appear nor rash nor confident; Immod'rate valor swells into a fault; And fear admitted into public councils, Betrays like treason. Let us shun 'em both."
YOU have, very recently, fellow-citizens, been celebrating your great national festival. On this interesting occasion, it was with peculiar satisfaction that pleasure was perceived to glow in every countenance, joy to sparkle in every eye, and patriotism to thrill through every bosom. With the sincerest pleasure it was perceived, on this occasion, that a spirit still exists in our country, which, if roused from the leaden slumbers into which party dissensions and political animosities have thrown it, will spurn indignantly at foreign aggression, in whatever shape it may exhibit itself, and from what source soever it shall make its appearance.
Fellow-citizens! on an occasion like the present, when facts and circumstances of no ordinary import, in spite of every effort
Portland, Monday, July 27, 1807.
NO NEWS.
The latest European accounts are Paris dates of May 28. They do not furnish any information of much importance.
The French official account of the attempt of the Russians to relieve Dantzig is given, in which they were unsuccessful.
The Russians have made several attacks on the out posts of the French army, but according to the French statements have been repulsed with loss.
The Grand Armies occupied the ground, they had for nearly three months,
The French have 100,000 men employed in the sieges of Dantzig, Colberg, Neiss, Graudentz, &c. and it is probable will not make an attack on the Russians until they have surrendered.
Extract of a letter from Cape Frisco, dated June, 1807.
"DEAR SIR, General Christophe has done, some time ago, an action worthy of recording. A French privateer was drove on shore by bad weather—the crew, consisting of 100 Frenchmen were taken to the Cape; the general received them with humanity, and gave them a vessel fitted with every necessary provision, with liberty to go where they chose. Such an action is worthy of imitation by the most civilized nation."
Robbery with intent to Murder!! 1000 Dollars Reward!
A most daring and outrageous robbery was committed in this town last evening, about nine o'clock. A gentleman by the name of JOHN WHITING, alone in a chaise, was passing from Boston to Bucktown, Maine, with thirteen thousand three hundred and eighty eight dollars in bills on the Penobscot Bank. Just as he arrived a little east of a place called Libbey's bridge, about half a mile from the landing, and within sixty or seventy rods of a number of dwelling-houses; two villains rushed from the fence one of whom seized the horse's bridle, while the other, with a cocked pistol in his hand, demanded his property, in these words, "deliver, or you are a dead man." He then shoved a pretty large trunk which contained his money and some clothing, and was on the floor of the chaise, to the first villain; on which the other cried out; God damn you, deliver your pocket book."

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! WHEN the attention of the public is fo- cited by the author of a recent disce- ry, and in declaiming on its virtues he be- comes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a de- fect, more noble qualities may be united.— Instead, therefore, of judging illiberally re- specting the motives of those who make them- selves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the result of their matured reflections. DENNISON'S
Improved Jaundice Bitters; or the Grand Antibilious Corrective. The Jaundice is discovered by want of ap- petite, costiveness, dullness and oppression, at time an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellow- ness is by degrees diffused over the com- plexion, tinged the urine, and whole mass of the fluids are infected with biliary secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a ten- dency to disolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy. A discharge by u- rine is considered by the most learned of the profession, as a means for a length of time to preserve the life of the patient. That by an evacuation of bilious matter, the system may be freed from the bad consequences which ensue on its stagnation in the habit; to accom- plish which desirable effect, and to correct and prevent the putridity of bile, a better medicine than here described, has never been discovered. They are particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pene- tr- atingly aromatic; exert wind in the easiest manner, without in moderately heating or in- flaming the bowels; they are extremely ser- viceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bil- ious habits experience such a total loss of ap- petite, listlessness and oppression; in such in- stances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. They possess moreover the property, peculiar to themselves, of qualifying and ameliorating those inflammatory pernicious qualities, inherent in ardent spirits and to often fatal when taken upon an empty stomach, and converts them into a wholesome, pleasant and invigorating stomachic. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary pas- sages, they are regularly serviceable in dropsy, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for sea-faring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most sub- ject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediate- ly aware of inconveniences, would not wisely secure a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epi- curies and bon vivants who wish for a deli- cious and delicate preparative for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board.

Lands in the District of Maine. IN the Township No. Six and Eight in the Eighth Range, north of the Waldo Patent, are offered for sale, in lots of one and two hundred acres, for the purpose only of actual settlement. These townships are situated on the Sebec and Pleasant Rivers, which afford an easy communication through the Piscataquis to Bangor on the Penobscot; they are well stocked with various kinds of excellent Tim- ber; have a number of valuable Mill Seats and the soil it is presumed, is inferior to none in the District. One or two hundred Families may be accom- modated with Lots in these townships, on terms which, it is not doubted, will be perfectly sat- isfactory. Enterprise and industry—Farmers, who wish to establish themselves advantageously, in a country well situated and rapidly increasing in value, will do well to examine these lands. Plans may be seen and terms made known at the Offices of Simon Greenleaf, Esq. Gra- ham, or Jacob M'Gaw, Esq. Bangor, and indige- nity obtained on application to the Subscriber in township No. Six, in the Eighth Range. MOSES GREENLEAF. March, 1807 6 m.
