BONAPARTE & MOREAU.
BONAPARTE and MOREAU are the two military colossi of the day. Such is the transcendency of their achievements, and the splendor of their names, that they admit not of a comparison with any other living characters. Even Charles of Austria, tho' a distinguished general, bears but a secondary rank in the scale of greatness.
It is doubted by some which of the two heroes of France should be esteemed pre eminent in military accomplishments. Perhaps the following remarks, founded on a recollection of the conduct of these generals in the field, may shed some light on this controverted point:
Moreau is consummate in conducting a retreat. Bonaparte in never suffering such a movement to be necessary. To a chief who fights only to conquer, and never fails in the plan of a campaign, the science of retreat would be useless and cumbersome. Moreau is unequalled in the art of extricating an army from difficulty and danger, Bonaparte in that of never allowing his army to fall into either. Moreau can seize on opportunities as they offer, and is calculated to sustain the most obstinate conflict. Bonaparte is capable of creating opportunities; and conducts his attack with such impetuosity, that victory generally declares for him before obstinacy can be displayed on the part of the enemy. Moreau, qualified to receive an attack with invincible firmness, and repel it with equal courage, possesses a happy and splendid assemblage of talents for defending his country against invading armies, but looking down on the mere business of defence. It belongs to Bonaparte alone to conquer Italy and Egypt, and bring even the empire of Germany to his feet. In battle, Moreau resembles the cliff that receives, unshaken, the fury of the tempest; but Bonaparte, the impetuous thundercloud, whose lightning nothing terrestrial can withstand. Moreau is, indeed, a great general, and a perfect epitome of the art of war; but Bonaparte, the child of genius, the pupil of fortune—Bonaparte, superior to the discipline of military schools, is formed by nature for a conqueror.
[LONDON PAPER.]
THE Italian Republic has adopted a national flag, which is described below, and which has been officially announced to the government of the United States, by the Charge des Affairs of the French Republic, in consequence of instructions received from his government.
Flag of the Italian Republic.
A pattern of the flag of the Italian Republic has been transmitted by the French government to the maritime prefects. It consists of a parallelogram of a red ground, of which one side is double the length of the others. In this parallelogram is contained a lozenge of a white ground, and within the lozenge a parallelogram of a green ground. The pendant is divided into four compartments. The first next the acorn is a trapezium of a red ground, containing a white isosceles triangle, with the base touching the second compartment, which is a green ground with a white border above and below. The third consists of tranverse stripes, the extremes of which are red, and the intermediate ones white. The fourth is entirely red.

USEFUL DISCOVERIES.
Mr. Forsyth, a lawyer in Scotland, has lately discovered a cheap and easy process for converting potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, and all similar roots into meal, which can be transported and preserved as well as the meal of grain. The flour of carrots and parsnips is particularly agreeable to the taste and smell. The same gentleman has discovered a more cheap and easy mode of salting fish than is now practised; possessing the advantage, that the quality of the salt and skill of the workmen are of less importance.
HAY.
The heating of hay, tho' it is stacked while too green, may be easily prevented by the following simple method, now practised by the most respectable farmers in England: They stuff a sack as hard as they can with hay, and tie the top tight with a cord; they then make the rick round the sack, which they pull up as the rick advances in height; and it is pulled out at the top when the rick is finished. Thus a tunnel is left in the middle of the hay, which admits a circulation of air, and prevents the heat which otherwise occasion its destruction.
From the Baltimore Federal Gazette.
McKiss, Yandt & Brown, I have been for some short while of opinion that a sweat of black Snake root will cure the yellow fever. I have several reasons for thinking this, but aiming at brevity I omit them. I wish an experiment to be made; if it succeeds (and I have the greatest hope of it) I say further that a glass of black snake root bitters taken daily during the season will prevent any one from taking this distemper.
Perhaps some physicians may say such a sweat in that case is immediate death notwithstanding which I pray an experiment may be made.
Twenty five years ago they said a vomit was immediate death in the camp fever, but it proved on trial an immediate relief to all that took it, and several so relieved, are here still to prove it.
A FRIEND.
P. S. The above sweat will cure the autumnal fever in an hour, of which I have had 40 years experience. Baltimore county, October 15.
From the Continent.
MR. WOLCOTT'S Address To the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. NO. VII. AND LAST.
IN considering the inculcations of the investigating committee, and the answers of Mr. Wolcott, we have had ample reason to convince ourselves, that party spirit and personal malice were the great instigators of the report: That in the floor of censure the committee have poured upon the late administration, not one drop of justice, much less of candid indulgence, was intermingled: That insidious misrepresentation or glaring falsehood, have been the corner-stone upon which the whole fabric of crimination was erected; and that of the eight charges which have passed under review, there is not one but an honorable enemy would have spurned; not one but a generous enemy would have abhorred.
The ninth charge however presents the majority of the committee in a new point of light—It furnishes us with the measure of their information and understanding upon certain principles of the law of nations—It relates to the expenditures which have taken place for what are commonly called secret services ; and it is impossible with a serious face to state the ground which the committee have assumed—With a serious face, did I say? nay, an American citizen, who feels for the honor of his country, for the honor, I will not say, of its common honesty, but of its common sense, must be more than serious.
that a committee of National Legislators, reporting upon a solemn inquiry after five months of investigation, have declared it a subject of surprise and disapprobation, that secret service money had been expended in the War Department, and had not been confined to the Department of State.
Let the reader simply ask himself the question, what the proper objects and duties of these two departments respectively are—The Department of State manages the concerns of the nation in its intercourse with foreign powers, in relation to the state of peace—The War Department directs our public affairs relating to the same foreign powers in a state of hostility—The most usual employment of monies for secret services, is to obtain information of the designs or secret measures of other nations, by the means of bribery or spies—Some of the most scrupulous writers upon the laws of nations have intimated doubts, whether the employment of such means in time of peace be consistent with the principles of justice and reciprocal good faith; but it never before entered into the heart of man to conceive that spies or bribes might not lawfully be employed in time of war—It was reserved for the wonders of the nineteenth century, and for the gigantic abilities of our committee of investigation to discover that bribery and corruption, secret service money and spies, are fair and honest between nations at peace, but utterly dishonorable and unlawful in time of war.
I shall not follow them through the series of blunders by which they finally reached this ingenious conclusion—One of the least of these blunders is, their taking a law prescribing the mode of accountability, to be pursued in the Department of State, for a law, and for the only law authorizing secret expenditures.—The policy of this law (say they) the committee do not intend to question; but it is clear, that it extends only to cases of compensation for what are usually called secret services , that may be rendered to the United States, in their intercourse with foreign nations.—The policy of the law, they will not question! Oh! No!—for in the intercourse of peace, they have no thoughts of setting up a manufacture of wary faces —But when you come to a state of hostility! then, Sir, it is quite another thing—When you have an Indian war upon your hands—when you have strong reason to suspect that an European power is fomenting and supporting it—when a few hundred dollars secretly expended, will enable you to discover and defeat such plans; then if you spend a cent of money for such a purpose, it must be by the Department of War—And then your virtuous investigating committee will tell you, that they entertain no doubt as to the illegality of the measure; that it is authorized by no law; whatsoever; and that they had flattened themselves that the federal government required no services of any nature, which ought to be concealed from the officers of the Treasury, or from the Legislature.
Citizens of the Union, I am not supposing a case that may happen; I am not drawing a contingent future absurdity from the principles of the committee—I am stating what has happened—quoting the very words of the committee as applied to a transaction of the very nature here described—Borderers upon the Indian tribes! expose your bosoms to the tomahawk! submit your foreheads to the scalp! abandon your wives and children to be roamed and eaten as savage appetite shall command—Never inquire whether your ferocious neighbors are secretly stimulated by France or England—for the most effectual mode of making such inquiry would be by secret services in the War Department—Put your trust in the tender mercies of Providence, and remember that a pacific Department and a state of peace, are the only occasions and means by which secret service money can be lawfully expended!
It would be a naughtous and disgusting task to have the ravings of bedlam to reason down by force of argument. Yet if the tenant of the place were armed with power, it might become a task of rigorous necessity—To their violence, their inconstancies and absurdities it would certainly be most advisable to oppose calmness and moderation—Such is the principle uniformly pursued by Mr. Wolcott in answering the Committee—And even under the present charge, which might make Patience herself lose her temper, let us observe what a contrast the cool but powerful language of Mr. Wolcott exhibits to the intemperate impotence of that used by the Committee.
“Is it then seriously asserted, that in the War and Navy Departments; establish
ment deeply blush at the recollection of which from their nature presuppose an actual, or probable state of War; which are designed to protect our country against enemies, that the precise object of every expenditure, must be published? Upon what principle are our Generals and Commanders, to be deprived of powers, which are sanctioned by universal usage, and expressly recognized as lawful, by all writers on the laws of nations? If one of our naval commanders, now in the Mediterranean, should expend a few hundred dollars for intelligence, respecting the force of his enemy, or the measures meditated by him, ought the present Administration to disallow the charge, or publish the source from which the intelligence was derived? is it not equivalent to a publication, to leave in a public office of accounts, a document explaining all circumstances relating to a payment? Ought the truth to be concealed, by allowing fictitious accounts? Could a more effectual mode of preventing abuses be devised, than to establish it as a rule, that all confidential expenditures should be ascertained to the satisfaction of the Chief Magistrate of our country, and that the amount of all such expenditures should be referred to a distinct account, in the Public Records?”
From the temper discovered by the Committee on this occasion, one would imagine that the object was at least of a magnitude sufficient to ruffle the composure of a grave legislator.—What opinions must we form then of the scale by which they measure questions of public concern, when we are assured by Mr. Wolcott that “there exists no colorable excuse, for exciting the public jealousy on this subject—and that the secret expenses of the War Department, since the establishment of the present Government do not exceed a few thousand, probably not more than five or six thousand dollars?”
But what talk we of five or six thousand dollars? Is not the tenth and last charge of the committee which has been honored by the refutation of Mr. Wolcott, relative to objects of still more insignificant amount?—To a few hundred dollars paid Mr. Tracy, for a useful important executive agency in the year 1800—and to two hundred and eight dollars and ninety-five cents paid Mrs. Ariana French, as an indemnity for resigning the benefit of a contract, which the resignation of Mr. M c Henry, as Secretary at War, rendered necessary. Is there any subdivision of matter within its infinite divisibility, too minute to furnish ground of censure by the Committee?—If they can get an opportunity to vent their spleen against Uriah Tracy, and James M c Henry, do they care whether the amount of the object of their censure be a million or a mill?—Have they not seen Edmund Randolph a delinquent of seven years standing for fifty-one thousand dollars, without moving a muscle in disapprobation; and shall not all the vials of their indignation be poured upon James M c Henry, for charging the public with two hundred and eight dollars and ninety-five cents, which upon every principle of equity the public ought to pay? Has it not been from time immemorial the a characteristic of men, who like the Committee can swallow a camel, on one side, like them to strain at a gnat on the other?
And now, Mr. Russell, having gone through the analysis of this most valuable pamphlet, I shall take my leave forever of the precious investigating Committee,—I congratulate you, and all the friends of the late administration, upon the issue which has ever attended the discussion of every specific charge brought against them, when the opportunity of making a defence has been obtained.—Their present successors hold their stations by the Irish title—by the assassination of their fame—But the day will come when they and their rivals shall be coolly and impartially judged by the voice of posterity—Then Sir, then, will the report of this Committee, and Mr. Wolcott's Address become documents of primary importance to the historian of our times.—Then will the genuine civic wreath, be twined around those temples by which it has been deferred, while the dirty, courtly, poisonous ivy shall creep round those which now usurp the oak foliage.—It has been said of Augustus that by an odious refinement of selfishness, he chose Tiberius for his successor, that the Roman people might learn the more highly to prize his nomination, by feeling the contrast of that oppression and tyranny which he foresaw Tiberius would exercise over them.—If the American people had been influenced by the motive imputed to Augustus, if the sole object for which they had raised to power their present rulers, had been by the contrast of darkness to brighten the splendors of the Washington administration, they could not possibly have fallen upon a happier choice.

GREAT FIRE.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 18.
On Tuesday last, a fire broke out in this town, by far the most astonishing in its appearance, and extensive in its devastation, which Liverpool was ever known; and in respect to waste of property, one of the most destructive which has happened in the British dominions since the great fire of London in 1666.
The scene now became so sublimely terrific, as to bid defiance to all the powers of description, or even of imagination. The stillness of silent horror, and hopeless inactivity, prevailed throughout the crowd; and the immense volumes of flame which reflected their glare on the faces of the multitude, exhibited nothing but one uniform expression of horror and astonishment.
In a few hours this immense pile of warehouses, from Brunswick Street to Water-Street, and also that noble range of warehouses erected in front, next the dock, were reduced to a heap of ruins; and a very great proportion of the valuable and various commodities with which almost every part of these buildings had been crowded, was totally consumed.
As soon as the diminished force of the fire permitted the people to act, every possible exertion was rendered both by the military, and every one else whose services could be employed.
The evening was uncommonly mild, (which was the more providential, as the weather had been for some time past very windy) and the tide was fortunately at flood; by which means an opportunity was afforded of removing the shipping beyond the reach of the flames.
Of the immense loss which has been sustained it is impossible at present to form an estimate, in any degree correct or probable; but from the opinions of those best informed on the subject, it is supposed the entire damage may amount to upwards of half a million!
The flames were seen in various directions at a distance of at least twelve miles. This will not appear surprising, when it is considered what an astonishing mass of combustible matter was blazing at the same moment, viz. fugar, cotton, tallow, oil, rum, and many other articles of a similar nature.
The preparations making by the court of Spain, for the journey of the royal family, will cost it is said several millions.
found all over the town and environs as far as two or three miles distance.
Among other articles of greater price, though not of greater value in the true sense of the word, many thousand quarters wheat were entirely consumed.
The inhabitants of Water Street were at one time greatly alarmed, as the fire seemed to be spreading in that direction; but the thick party wall of Mr. Dawson's warehouse, and the strong walls the commercial buildings happily arrested its progress.
Private letters state the loss at £1,300,000 sterling.

BONAPARTE & the ALGERINES.
Acts of the French Government.
Report made to the First Consul, in Senate, by the Minister for Exterior Relations, the 20th Fructidor (7th September) year 10.
The First Consul having ordered me to render him an account, in Senate, of the differences which have lately happened between the French Republic and the Regency of Algiers, and of the success attending the measures which have been taken to terminate them,
From the frontiers of Egypt, to the strait of Gibraltar, the north of Africa is possessed by a people, strangers to the public code of Europe.
They acknowledge no other right of nations, than the laws of their own police, which, permitting amongst themselves individual violences, authorizes them with respect to foreigners, and consecrate them as acts of courage towards enemies.
The Regency of Algiers is particularly remarkable for an audacity which certain events must have increased.
Charles the Vth turned against Africa his victorious arms.
In latter times, Louis XIV. avenged on the Algerines the honor of the French flag.
Of the enemies which remained to France, when the First Consul assumed the reins of government, the Regency of Algiers was the least formidable.
prized that the Dey of Algiers had declared war against his inclination, and was desirous of peace, sent a negotiator to Algiers, preceded by the renown of those exploits of which Italy, Germany, Egypt and Syria had been the theatre;
In short, a definitive treaty which assures to France all the advantages stipulated by the antient treaties, and which by new stipulations, guarantees, more explicitly and fully, the liberty of French Commerce and navigation with Algiers, was signed the 7th of last Nivose.
The general Peace was concluded, and Commerce began to resume its accustomed routine.
But very soon we learned, that Algerine armaments overrun the Mediterranean, desolating the Commerce of France and infesting its coasts.
Informed of these aggressions, the First Consul ordered a naval division to sail for Algiers.
I transmit by his orders, the instructions to the charge d'affaires, the citizen Dubois Thainville, who deported himself with as much energy and dignity, as he conducted with prudence.
The division commanded by the centre admiral, Leissègues, appeared before Algiers the 17th Thermidor; adjutant commandant Hullin, an officer of the palace was on board, the bearer of a letter from the First Consul to the Dey.
On the 18th, this officer went on shore, was received with distinction, presented to the Dey, and delivered the First Consul's letter, which was conceived in the following terms:
"Bonaparte, First Consul, to the very high, and very magnificent Dey of Algiers; whom God preserve in prosperity and glory!
"I write you this letter direct, because I know you have ministers who deceive you, and who induce you to conduct yourself in a manner that may bring upon you the greatest misfortunes.
"If you wish to live in friendship with me, you must not expect to treat me as a feeble power;
"Whatever were the secret intentions of the Dey, he only testified the desire of living in good understanding with the French Republic.
"I with always to be," says he, "the Friend of Bonaparte."
He promised and actually gave every satisfaction that was demanded.
To render particular homage to the First Consul, in the person of his envoy, he was disposed even to dispense with the ordinary forms, and contrary to the immemorial usages of the Regency, he received, in the most magnificent Kiosk of his gardens, the officer of the palace, the charge d'affaires of the republic, the centre admiral Leissègues, and his numerous etat-majors.
"In the name of the only God, the God of mankind, our master, the illustrious and magnificent lord Mustapha Pacha, Dey of Algiers, whom God preserve in glory:
To our friend Bonaparte, First Consul of the republic of France, President of the Italian republic.
I salute you—the peace of God be with you.
Henceforth, our friend, I inform you that I have received your letter dated the 20th Messidor. I have read it; it was delivered to me by the general of your place, and your (vekil) charge d'affairs, Dubois Thainville.
11. You complain of Rais Ali Tatar. Although he is one of my Yollars , I decreed that he should be put to death. At the instant of the execution of his sentence, your Vakil demanded his pardon in your name, as a favor, and for your sake.
12. You demand from me the Neapolitan polacre, taken you say, under the cannon of France.
13. You demand a Neapolitan vessel, which, it is said, sailed from Corsica with French clearances.
14. You demand the punishment of the Rais who brought into this port two vessels belonging to the French republic.
15. You demand 150 men, whom you say are in my territories.
16. You say there are certain persons, who give me counsels that may embroil me with you.
17. You demand that I shall be the friend of the Italian Republic.
18. You would not give me the 200,000 dollars which I demand of you, as a recompence for the losses which I have sustained for you.
19. I have terminated with my friend Dubois Thanville, your vekil, every thing respecting the coral fishery, which your vessels can immediately resume.
20. I have satisfied you in every respect as you have desired, in whatever you have demanded;
21. Therefore, I request that you will give orders, that the nations, my enemies, may not navigate under your flag;
22. I have ordered my Rais to respect the French flag at sea.
If at any time hereafter any difficulties should be necessary between us, write to me direct, and every thing shall be amicably arranged.
I salute you: May God continue you in glory.
Algiers—this 13th of the moon Rabiah, Esuet, in the year of the Hegira, 1217.
In concluding this Report, I ought to inform the First Consul, that the Adjutant Commandant of the palace, and the Centre Admiral Leissègues, have fulfilled the commission entrusted to them, with dignity, firmness and circumspection.

Portland.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1802.
By Capt. Crandall arrived at this port, and by late arrivals at Boston, we are enabled to furnish our readers with considerable details of foreign news. Our papers are late as any received.—The transactions between Bonaparte and the "very high & very magnificent" Dey of Algiers, will be read with much interest. Their peculiarity and importance induce us to give them in full.
The election of National Representatives took place in Massachusetts on Monday last. The result in this District is favorable to correct principles. Without party exultation we are happy to announce that there is no room to doubt the election of Mr. Bruce , in Kennebec district. Returns from Augusta, Hallowell, Vassalborough, Winthrop, Readfield, Pittston, Sidney, Belgrade, Winslow, Canaan, Norridgewock & Waterville, give a majority of 57 votes to Mr. B. These towns have been generally opposed to him—and as his strength is principally in the lower counties, we trust their returns next week will enable us to announce with certainty his election.
In Lincoln district, Mr. Thacher is unquestionably chosen. In Cumberland, Mr. Wadsworth is re-elected by above four fifths of the suffrages. In York district it is probable Mr. Cuttis is re-elected.
By returns from other parts of the State, it appears that the federal majority will Rand but about the same as heretofore—owing to neglect in some districts, where federalists might have been elected.—Dr. Euttis is re-elected in Suffolk district by a majority of 29.—In the last Congress, Maine had but one representative on the federal side—now she probably has three.
Separation of Maine.
A late communication on this subject, has excited much attention and revived its consideration in the minds of many. An event of so much importance to this District demands the serious attention of every one. It is a subject that ought to be considered as entirely independent of any party or political considerations; but as merely involving the interest and welfare of the District. If a Separation should be deemed expedient on these principles, it will easily obtain; and we soon expect to lay some publications before the people, which will assist them in a determination, should the question be seriously agitated.
Extract of a letter, dated Leghorn September 8, 1802.
"I mentioned to you that two American vessels were captured by the Tripolines: it appears only has as yet fallen into their hands, but I much fear others will share the same fate, as one American frigate only is off the port, which even with the aid of the Swedish frigate, is very incompetent to an effectual blockade. The last accounts from Tripoli, say that the American prisoners are treated with unusuall lenity, not being obliged to labor, and being suffered to live in the houses of some of the European Consuls. It is universally lamented, by those who speak on the subject, that the Government of the U. S. do not send out a greater force, which have no doubt would be judicious, should it not militate with the economical system pursued by the present administration.—Capt. Murray, of the U. S. frig-
ate Constellation , has lately had a brush with the Tripoline gun-boats, which were ordered out to engage him; he soon obliged them to retire with loss, as also several hundred troops with artillery, which were drawn up on the shore to protect them. Not a man on board the frigate was wounded, and had it not been for an unlucky calm, the gun-boats would have fallen into the hands of Captain M.
NEWYORK, OCT. 29.
Yesterday arrived from a three years voyage the ship Hope , Capt. Ray , in 223 days from Canton, and 121 days from the Isle of France where she put in to stop a leak with a valuable cargo of Teas, Nankeens, Silks, China ware and Rhubarb.—It will not we presume, be uninteresting to our nautical readers, to give a sketch of Capt. Ray's voyage as he has traversed a part of the globe hitherto unknown to navigators. The Hope failed in '99, in company with the Congress frigate, and weathered the gale in which that vessel was so much shattered. The first place at which the Hope arrived, after her departure from America, was Falkland's Islands , where she remained six months, and was successful in getting skins. From this place she proceeded to the Island of South Georgia , where she made a stop of three months, and then proceeded on her voyage, and attempted to get round Cape Horn , which attempt was abandoned, after beating 60 days. She then put into Port Desire , on the coast of Patagonia . From this place she went to the river La Plata , where she remained three months, and dried the skins which they had previously obtained. She proceeded round to New Holland , and touched at Port Jackson , and continued her route from that place to Canton , where her cargo was disposed of to good advantage. On the 22d of Dec. 1801 in the lat. of 25, 0 deg. S. and longitude 166, 21, W. capt. Ray discovered an Island, about 7 leagues in length, which appeared to be well covered with wood, but was not near enough to observe whether it was inhabited, and on the 26th of the same month, in lat. 5, deg. and 45 miles N. and long. 163. 40. W. saw another Island about 4 leagues in length.—Neither of these Islands appear on any map or chart, and had Capt. Ray been in possession of good boats, he would have gone on shore to make further discoveries.

Jenks' Maine Marine List. Port of Portland. Monday Nov. 1.—Arrived ship Nabby , capt. Crandall, 37 days from Liverpool. Monday last arrived at Boston, Schooner Favorite , capt. Portland, from Madeira and Teneriffe, 38 days.—Oct. 24, lat. 27, long. 67 fell in with the Spanish frigate Juno , of 34 guns, Don Juan Ignacio Bustillos, commander, in great distress, making so much water that the greatest exertions could barely keep her free. The Spanish captain requested capt. P. to stay by him, and assist in getting the frigate to the nearest American land, at the same time putting on board 3 officers and 4 marines with provisions. Capt. P. accompanied the ship 3 days; on the 4th, in a very heavy gale from the N. W. he observed signals of greater distress, and for abandoning the frigate, and ran under her lee as near as possible. The unfortunate Spaniards waved their handkerchiefs and seemed almost in despair—and the ship rolled as if nearly full of water. At 9 A. M. her mainmast went over her side—and her foremast fell afterwards from side to side. Every effort was made to afford her assistance, but in vain. A fog occasioned capt. P. to lose sight of her, in half an hour it cleared away; but the ship was no more to be seen. 413 persons, including several women and children, were on board. She was bound from Porto Rico to Cadiz, and had 100,000 dollars on board.

Prize Tickets will be paid 30 days after the drawing of the Lottery shall be finished. Prizes not demanded within one year after the drawing of the Lottery, will not be paid, but considered as generously given for the purposes for which this Lottery was granted.

Deaths.
FROM PRATT'S GLEANINGS.
THE DOVE.
It is said that a pigeon applied warm to the stomach of children in some dangerous maladies, will attract the disease, and with the loss of its own, save the infant's life. A recent fact of this kind lately appeared in one of the public prints:—A beautiful baby appeared to be suffering the pains of death. Its wretched parent, after many useless tears, had recourse to a dove: the breast was stripped of its feathers, and thus bared, placed upon the breast of the child. By degrees the infant recovered; while the bird, receiving the disease, expired in agonies.
The Bard has told us, God of Love! Thy favorite subject is the Dove; And oft Love's Sister has been fly'd By Sympathy, sweet Pity's child. Ah! who can wonder then she gave Herself a sacrifice to save The cradled innocent, whose brea h Was purchas'd by thy sister's death? The babe she to her bosom press'd, Transferr'd its anguish to her breast; There it respird on Pity's throne, And all the agony her own. Hail, sacred bird! this act shall prove Thy kindred to that mystic Dove; Whose pinions ming'e in the rays Where dazzled cherubs scarcely gaze!

To the honorable the Senate, and the honorable House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in General Court assembled, May 1802.
THE petition of the subscribers humbly shews—That, by an act of the General Court, passed March 9th, A.D. 1793, Jonathan Davis and others were incorporated for the purpose of building a Bridge over New-Meadow River , which runs between Brunswick in the county of Cumberland , and Bath in the county of Lincoln ; which bridge was to have been provided with a draw for the accommodation of the inhabitants on said river—that said inhabitants, with many other persons, citizens of said Brunswick , well acquainted with said river, petitioned the General Court, praying that said Davis and others with him incorporated, should be required to make a good and sufficient draw in said bridge for vessels to pass and repass thro' said bridge; which petition the General Court were pleased to grant in an act passed June 21st, A.D. 1793, entitled an act in addition to an act entitled an act for incorporating Jonathan Davis and others for the purpose of building a bridge over New-Meadow River —that said Davis and others having neglected to build said bridge within the time limited by law, an application was made to the General Court for permission to build said bridge, and an act was passed on the 16th day of February last, incorporating Joshua Shaw and others for that purpose, but making no provision for the building of a draw in said bridge for the passage of vessels having masts.—Your petitioners beg leave to suggest that the want of a draw in said bridge would be productive of great inconveniences and much damage to the interest of the inhabitants on said river, especially to those who live above the place designed for said bridge, some of whom have carried on the business of ship building and the fishery advantageously, as they have been able to rig their vessels, and make and cure their fish on their own shores, and near to their houses; whereas they would be obliged, if said bridge should be built without a draw, to rig all their vessels and cure all their fish below said bridge, which would occasion a heavy additional expence and trouble, and tend to discourage both ship building and the fishery—Your petitioners add further, that New-Meadow River is navigable for vessels of one hundred tons burthen for two or three miles above Brown's Ferry , and in many places admits of very convenient wharves, which might be built at a small expence.—They therefore pray, that the honorable General Court would so far alter the provisions of the act of February last, as to direct the Corporation for building a bridge across New-Meadow River , to make a good and sufficient draw, correspondent to the act passed June 21st, 1793, and annex such a penalty to the neglect of such direction, as they shall in their wisdom think proper—And as in duty bound will ever pray. JAMES CURTIS, and 59 others.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
In Senate, June 21st, 1802. On the petition of James Curtis and others, praying that the honorable General Court would so far alter the provision of the act of February last, as to direct the Corporation for building a bridge over New-Meadow River , to make a good and sufficient draw, correspondent to an act passed June 21st, 1793—Ordered, that the petitioners cause an attested copy of their petition, with this order thereon, to be inserted in Jenks' Portland Gazette three weeks successively, the last publication to be thirty days, at least, before the second Wednesday of the next session of the General Court, that all interested may then appear and show cause, if any they have, why the prayer of said petition should not be granted. Read and accepted.—Sent down for concurrence. DAVID COBB, President. In the House of Representatives, June 12, 1802. Read and concurred. JOHN C. JONES, Speaker. Attest G. ELLIOT VAUGHAN, Clerk Senate.
