Poetry.
RELIGION.
'TIS this, my friend, makes our morning bright; 'Tis this that gilds the horror of our night. When wealth forsakes us, and when friends are few— When friends are faithless and when foes pursue: 'Tis this that wards the blow, or stills the smart; Disarms affliction, or repels its dart. Within the breast bids purest rapture rise; Bids smiling conscience spread her cloudless skies. When pleasure fascinates the mental sight, Affliction purifies the visual ray; Religion hails the dear, the untried night That shuts, forever shuts life's doubtful day.
FROM THE PORT-FOLIO.
At the time when the pretty song of "Shepherds, I have lost my love, Have you seen my Anna," was sung by every chambermaid; some wit, eager to satirize the Grecian style of dress, then introducing by the ladies, wrote a diverting parody, which began "Lover's I have lost my waist, Have you seen my body?" As the ladies now discard all dress except a kind of longer chemise, we present them with the following parody; and sincerely hope, that it may persuade them as the winter approaches, to purchase more flannel, and fewer muslins.
Doctors, I have lost my health, Where, O where's my vigour? No faithless swain, no act of stealth, Reduced me to this figure.
Plump and rosy was my face, And graceful was my form, Till fashion deem'd it a disgrace To keep me body warm.
I sacrificed to modesty whim, (What belle can ere forsake it?) To make myself genteel and slim, I strip me almost naked.
And naked thus I must remain, Till Fashion weds with Reason; God grant they may United reign, Before the frosty season.
By the Mails.
IMPORTANT TRIAL—Concluded.
Lieutenant Carter, of the Halifax, on being called on for the prisoner's character, stated, that all the time he
was in the sloop, he considered him, a steady, sober, attentive man, and one he could have entrusted on shore.
Lieutenant Marsters had known the prisoner all the time he had been against him; he was sober & attentive, and occasionally with working parties on shore.
The prisoner having nothing further to offer, the Court adjourned, from the quarter deck, to consider of the evidence they had heard; and, after maturely and deliberately weighing the same, were of opinion. That the charges against Jenkin Ratford were proved, and adjudged him to suffer death, by being hung at the yard arm of such of His Majesty's ships, and at such time, as the Commander in Chief at Halifax shall direct: which sentence, being signed by each member, and the Court assembling again, on the quarter deck, the prisoner being brought forward, and the witnesses and audience admitted, was read by the Judge Advocate accordingly. After which, the President addressed the prisoner in nearly the following words:
"YOU have now heard the awful sentence of the court. You have been found guilty of deserting from the service of your country, which, at all times, is highly criminal; if it was possible to make it more so, it is, at the present crisis, when Great-Britain is struggling for her very existence.
"Your deserting from the Halifax, and entering into the American Navy, has been attended with most serious and unfortunate consequences, affecting the peace of both countries.
"The offences of which you have been found guilty, are of so flagrant a nature, that I cannot flatter you with the least hopes of pardon: I therefore, earnestly recommend your employing the short time you may have to live, in making your peace with Heaven.
"All who are now present, and have witnessed this Trial, as well as the crews of others of his Majesty's ships must be convinced of the heinous crime of desertion; and more particularly so, when it is attended with mutinous behaviour to their officers. The fate of the unfortunate prisoner will, I trust, sink deep into your minds, and prevent the continuance of an offence so hurtful to your country, and disgraceful to the character of British seamen."
On Monday morning last, a quarter past nine o'clock, the sentence of the Court-Martial was carried into effect at the fore yard-arm of His Majesty's sloop of War, Halifax.
BAIRDSTOWN, (KEN.) SEPT. 1. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New-Orleans, dated July 19, 1807, to a gentleman in this place.
"I have just returned to this place, after an excursion of 21 days, in the Spanish dominions. I took water at the Bayou of St. John crossed the Lake Ponchartrain, then down the Gulph of Mexico to Pascagoula; when I arrived there the Commander was absent; the corporal of the place told me I could not pass until a commander came; I remonstrated with him, but to no purpose, I was detained until the next day, when one of the Dons arrived with his suit. I waited on and informed him I wished to pass through the country; he asked me if I had a paisport, which I had not; after some time, told me, I had the appearance of a gentleman, and that he should suffer myself and boy to pass without further injury; but that there had been considerable alarms some time past, but he hoped and believed it was over. He then asked me to dine with him, which I did; after dinner I set out, down sea-board, about 4 miles, where I met with the principal commander; he received me very politely, I remained with him three or four days, during which time he talked freely and openly with respect to the situation of
both countries.—He is decidedly of opinion, that a war must take place between the two countries; that the Spaniards are only waiting for Bonaparte to get a little leisure, so that he can turn his attention to this country, and then they will take possession of Louisiana; that the Spaniards will enter into no negotiations that will be binding upon them, but will insult, negotiate, and insult, until Bonaparte is ready, and then him and the Spaniards can have a pretence to declare war. The French in this country are not, nor will they ever be attached to the American government. They think it too weak and flimsy, indeed, it has that appearance here; they neither love nor respect the governor, and he has not firmness enough to enforce either. They (I was informed by this commander) have petitioned Bonaparte to take them under his protection again; that they were and would at all times be ready to join him; he answered that their wishes should be fulfilled, so soon as Europe was quiet; that he would strictly comply with every promise he had ever made to them, &c."
NORFOLK, SEPT. 24.
Yesterday a meeting took place between Dr. Stark, and capt. Gordon, of the Chesapeake, in consequence of a dispute on the subject of Commodore Barron's conduct—several shots were exchanged without effect.—The affair terminated in the doctor's receiving a wound through the arm from Lieut. Crane, the friend of captain Gordon!
The Danish government at the Island of St. Thomas having prohibited the exportation of provisions, shipping must expect a certain and heavy loss on adventures to that quarter.
The actual consumption of the Island is trifling, and if the present restriction continues in force, American produce will in a little time be sacrificed there at less than half cost in the United States.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
"BALTIMORE, Sept. 26.—In a letter received yesterday from France, there is mention of an important arrangement for Europe, which has been as yet but obscurely hinted at in the papers. However, according to his usual custom Bonaparte disseminates it through the public to prepare it for the unfolding of his mighty drama.
Europe arranged into two empires, an eastern with Alexander at his head, and a western with Napoleon; each to have under its protection eight kingdoms, to wit: under the eastern empire, the re-established kingdom of Poland with king Murat; the grand duke Constantine a king at Constantinople; Denmark its present king; Saxony its present king; Prussia its present king; Berg and Cassel, Bernadotte (this last must be an error from its place) Moldavia a king to be named, &c.
Under the western empire, the dismembered empire of Austria; Hungary under Prince Charles; Hanover under king Jerome; Wirttemberg its present king; Holland Prince Eugene Bauharnois, in place of king Louis abdicated; Baden its present king; Bavaria its present king; Italy, king Joseph; Naples its former king.
Mustapha king out of Europe, and each confederation to be strictly limited to an equal number of standing troops."
HANOVER, SEPT. 10.
More Counterfeiters.—On Thursday last, Daniel Roff and Edward Burroughs, son of the noted Stephen Burroughs, were apprehended at Lebanon on suspicion of counterfeiting money, and brought before Justice KENDRICK for examination. Evidence sufficient to render their guilt quite probable being produced, they were accordingly ordered to recognize in
the sum of 1000 dollars each, and for want of bonds, to stand committed until the next session of the Superior Court. They passed through this place on Saturday on their way to Haverhill jail; their trial will come on in October next.
Roff, it seems, had lodged at Mr. Hough's tavern in Lebanon, and in the morning called at the house of Mr. Eliza Aldrich for his friend Edwards (as he sometimes called himself,) alias Burroughs. But the latter being in bed, he left a message for him, and pursued his course. This, with other circumstances, afforded strong suspicion that there was villainy ahead. In order to ascertain the truth of the matter, Mr. Aldrich, in a very prompt and spirited manner, for which we think he deserves much praise, pursued and overtook Roff, who, on being seized by the coat, struck at his assailant with a large club. Mr. A. however, warded off the blow, and ordered him to face about; but on returning the fellow sprang into a pond adjacent, and scattered his bills upon the water.—Search being made, 1400 dollars in bills principally of Cheshire, Smithfield, and Maine Banks, were found. A flocking was also picked up near the pond, which belonged to Burroughs, and in which part of the bills had been packed up.—Roff was without shoes or stockings—his boots were found in Burroughs' saddle-bags.—Both the culprits appear to be only apprentices in the counterfeiting trade; but they have without doubt been serving under that old and experienced master, who has been so long and so notoriously distinguished throughout the country.—Burroughs, in particular, does not exceed 18 or 19 years of age; but he has all that audacity, that cunning, that quick apprehension and expressive look, which declare him to be a "true chip of the old block."
Jonesborough, (Virginia,) Aug. 24.
An awful and melancholy instance of the omnipotent power of the Almighty God, in punishing with exemplary vengeance the presumptuous wretch, who dares bid defiance to Him, by whose permission he lives, moves, and has his existence, having just taken place here, a relation of the circumstance may not be considered uninteresting, and perhaps may afford such a lesson as will be the means of restraining many a wicked thought, and blasphemous expression, so often given way to, and so derogatory to the character of every human being; at least such as are within the power of example to reform:
A young man wished to join a company of volunteers, now enrolling themselves, for the purpose of offering their services to the President of the United States, and yesterday, being Sunday, he was at a neighbour's house, with some other young persons, a part of whom were remonstrating against his intention.—He swore he would go and join in spite of all the friends he had, and said he did not believe it was in the power of God Almighty to prevent him!—This dreadful expression had scarcely escaped his lips, when he fell a lifeless corpse at the feet of his advisers, and never breathed more! Before that period he enjoyed a perfect state of health.
A CHARACTER.
In perusing the elder Lord Littleton's character of William the Conqueror, I was forcibly struck with his remarks on the Conqueror's pretence to a reputation for religion.—"But," says Lord L. "his religion was after the fashions of those times, belief without examination and devotion without piety.—It was a religion that prompted him to endow monasteries, and at the same time allowed him to pillage kingdoms; that threw him on his knees before a relic or a cross, but suffered him unrestrained to trample upon the rights and liberties of mankind."
Now, if Napoleon I, "the restorer"
of religion," had sitted for this picture, I will risk the reputation of an amateur, that it would have been a LIKENESS.
A Novel Cafe.—A singular action last week occupied the Court of Exchequer, in Ireland, four days. It was brought by the personal representation of a lady, to recover damages, for the breach of a promise of marriage, made to the deceased.—The defendant had demurred.—It being a novel case, much ingenuity and learning have been displayed by the counsellors on each side, and the court has taken time till next term to pronounce its opinion.—Lon. pap.
MORE Democrat eating Democrat!
The choice of senators and representatives for the legislature of Pennsylvania, is to take place in a few days. The democrats having split in two parties—since which, every election has been contested with a degree of acrimony and recrimination that shows the true character of the "exclusive patriots" and modern "friends of the people." The Freeman's Journal, a leading paper with the democrats who stile themselves the friends of the constitution, thus notices the nomination of Duane, the Aurora-man, and others of his party:—
FREDERICK WOLBERT.—The republican garb, under which this man has hitherto endeavoured to screen his deformity from public view, has at length been stripped off his shoulders, and he appears to be what he really is, a bawling office-hunter.
He is now a justice of the peace, and a judge. Make him a sheriff also, and you clothe him with unprecedented powers.
As Justice of the Peace, he can commit a man to prison:
As Judge, he can pass sentence of death on him:
As Sheriff, he can execute him.
The trio who have for several years been lordling it over their betters, in this district, are all candidates for office.
MICHAEL LEID (certificate!) wants to be a Representative in the state legislature.
FREDERICK WOLBERT, (tax-gatherer!) wants to be Sheriff.
WILLIAM DUANE, (pole-rider!) wants to be a senator.
The editor of the Aurora, who has, for years been the high-priest of defamation, the slanderer of every thing that was good, and the pander of political infamy—in order to render the state of Pennsylvania as despicable as possible, has set himself up for the hitherto dignified office of state-senator. But will the people be such idiots as to vote for him? O yes, says Duane—hush—"Look at my children!"
In the case of fire, the following is suggested to those who may be employed in its extinction. As heat & smoke ascend to the upper part of the room, a stream of pure air occupies the space near the floor, a person can crawl on his hands and knees into a room full of smoke, and by keeping his face close to the floor, he may go and return where no one could walk upright. This method is practised by the London firemen, who have hence acquired the name of Salamanders.—Lon. pap.
Mr. Duclos, a French Philosopher, has just published "a treatise for dissipating Storms!" He thinks it will be read by all the married men in Europe.—ibid.
We have received from a correspondent at the eastward a caricature, representing a great emperor with a drawn sword ordering his minister, Whiskerandos, to raise his voice and tell "dem American for give you MORE MIL-LION; tell dem I will have 'em."—Opposite the emperor stands the minister in a cringing posture with hat in hand, who replies; "Imperiale Mafaire, cit ball bee done." In the background is seen a gun-boat in a cornfield, manned with militia, and armed with a common ch-utensil instead of mortars, firing at a flock of crows which appear to be co-pletely routed, and are retreating with great precipitation in every direction.—Underneath is written, "Goofield Defence!"—U. S. Gaz.

PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 30, 1807. BRITISH TREATY.
As soon as it was known that Mr. Jay had negotiated a treaty with Great-Britain, a universal clamour was raised among the democrats against both him and the treaty, even before it was known what were the stipulations which it contained. It was asserted and reiterated in the democratic prints, that the minister had kissed the queen's hand, and, being seduced by the blandishments of the British court, had meanly sacrificed the honor of his country, and surrendered, by negotiation, that independence which we had acquired with so much difficulty by force of arms. Mr. Jay, in consequence, was the object of popular denunciation from one extremity of the union to the other. In several places he was burnt in effigy. Notwithstanding all this, the treaty was such as the Father of his Country approved and ratified. We all know what was the prosperity of the nation under the operation of it.
The democratic party have from that time to the present declared that nothing else was necessary for procuring better terms from G. Britain, than to demand and insist upon them. For two or three years they have been trying the experiment, by means of their own favorite negotiators; which has resulted in a treaty which the democrats declare to be so bad as to justify the President in abruptly returning it, without consulting the senate, and which appears, from what we can learn, to be every way much less advantageous to this country than that of Mr. Jay. Yet in this instance we hear of no burning of the negotiators in effigy; no charge of corruption by a foreign court; nor even the slightest censure of their conduct or motives. These are Mr. Jefferson's minister's. The other was Gen. Washington's. —In fact we do not believe that they deserve censure any more than Mr. Jay did. We have good reason to think that they strictly conformed to their instructions, and if the treaty is as bad as the democrats represent it, the fault is in our cabinet from which the instructions issued. We infer this from a message of the President of the United States to both houses of Congress, dated Feb. 19. 1807, in which he says that our ministers in London have agreed with the British ministers "to conclude a treaty on all the points which had formed the object of their negotiation." In confirmation of this, he transmitted to Congress the following from our ministers:—
LONDON, Dec. 27, 1806.
523. We have the pleasure to acquaint you that we have this day agreed with the British commissioners to conclude a treaty ON ALL POINTS WHICH HAVE FORMED THE OBJECT OF OUR NEGOTIATION, and on terms which we trust our government will approve. It will require only a few days to reduce it to form. When this is done we shall transmit it to you by a special messenger.
We hasten to communicate to you this interesting intelligence for the information and guidance of our government in such measures as may have reference to the subject. We have the honour to be, with great consideration and esteem, sir, Your most obedient servants. JAMES MONROE, WM PINCKNEY. JAMES MADISON, Sec'y State, Washington.
Now this declaration of our ministers was either true or false. If true, the President has refused to ratify a treaty which had been concluded in all points in strict conformity with the terms prescribed by himself. If false, the ministers have forfeited their honour, disgraced themselves, and merited all the odium which was so undeservedly bestowed upon Mr. Jay. And yet, with all this complicated disgrace upon their heads, they met with no censure from the government.—Instead of being recalled and exposed, as they ought to be, if this supposition be allowed, they are employed, as faithful and truly ministers of the government, to continue the negotiation under fresh instructions.
CHILICOTHE, SEPT. 11. AN INDIAN WAR!
Every movement of the Indians is marked with suspicion. We wish not to alarm our defenceless countrymen upon the frontier by harrowing up their feelings with the disasters of an Indian war, but were we to say we anticipated no danger, we should belie our own judgment. Reports concerning their recent movements are much exaggerated. But it is a fact beyond contradiction,
that there are now between 7 and 800 assembled at Greenville and Fort Wayne.—The Governor has sent out three gentlemen of the first respectability to ascertain their intentions—one has been sometime absent, two have recently set out. The first gentleman upon arriving at Springfield, dispatched an express to the Governor, informing him of the necessity of raising immediately 1500 men; that the prophet among the Indians was using every artifice to exasperate this savage foe against the Americans.
Fatal Duel. —Accounts have just been received from Beaufort, (S. C.) of a duel, which from its fatal termination, must excite the keenest regret of every heart of sensibility. A meeting took place on Monday 14th September, between Mr. Arthur Smith, of Charleston, and Mr. Thomas Hutson, second son of Col. Thomas Hutson, of Prince William's Parish. The parties fired nearly at the same instant, and dreadful to relate, each of them with effect, and both expired the same evening: Mr. Smith aged 23 yrs. and Hutson 22. This distressing event we hope will make a proper impression upon our young men, and that any one who may upon the supposition of offended honor, be inclined to dare his adversary to the field, will pause—reflect on the commands of his God; on the sacred obligations he owes to the peace of his own family; the debt that is due to his country, and awfully contemplate the scene of distress and misery that lies before him. Charleston Courier.
BUCKSTOWN, OCT. 1.
A FACT. —Mr. Joseph Cole, of this town yesterday killed an old she BEAR and her two cubs, at one shot, with a brace of bullets, while feeding on Acorns under an Oak Tree, near his house. Thirty or forty of these animals have been killed in this town, within the last ten days, and nearly as many more in the neighbouring towns. It is said that more Bears have been seen this year, than there has for thirty years past. We cannot account for their being so remarkably plenty this season any other way than their having been driven from the woods to the shores for want of food. It appears, however, that our new visitors meet with an unwelcome reception, as but few have escaped the vigilance of the inhabitants.
ADMIRALTY DECISION.
A question arising out of the famous decree issued by Bonaparte, for placing Great-Britain in a state of blockade, was decided on the 18th August last, in the British Court of Admiralty Sir William Scott. The Sunbeam , an American ship, had been captured under this decree by a French cruiser, and re-captured by a British ship of war. Salvage was demanded for the re-capture, which was resisted by the American, on the ground that the decree of blockade was not to be carried into effect against Americans, and that the vessel would have been restored to the owners by the French tribunal.
Sir William Scott observed, that the meaning of the word blockade in this decree must necessarily be the same as when applied to the blocking of a single port or harbour, and therefore the decree must be clearly understood as extending to prevent all intercourse of the subjects of Neutral States with Great-Britain; while, from the publicity and solemnity of the decree itself, it was fair to conclude that it would be acted upon. The subjects of France must have necessarily considered it in this light, and must have been led to look upon all such neutral vessels as lawful prize; and all the authorities of that country were put in motion to give it effect. Such being the state of things, it was impossible not to say, that prima facie , great service had been done to the American owners by the recapture. There was nothing in the decree to distinguish the Americans from other nations, or to exempt them from its effects. There did not appear any sort of treaty which at all modified the decree, with regard to the Americans.
Some correspondence upon this subject had indeed taken place, between the French Minister of Marine and General Armstrong, the American Minister at Paris, and between the latter and Mr. Lyman, the American Consul in this country, from which however nothing had resulted which entitled to attention in the decision of this case. A decree was pronounced by Sir William Scott, giving salvage to the captors.
Few happy Matches! —We understand, at the late term of the Supreme Court in this town, that no less than five petitions and orders of notice thereon, for divorces in this county, were read and acted upon.— Dedham Paper.
The pamphlet now in circulation on the subject of the British treaty, has been "guessed" to be from the pen of Hon. Oliver Wolcott, of Newyork: As Yankees, we too have a right to guess, and we "guess" it to be the production of the Hon. Government Morris.—The democrats rave as much at the disclosure of this treaty, as if there never was such a senator as Stephen Thompson Mason ; or as if the American people were not to be trusted with the knowledge of transactions which involve their dearest interests.— Cent.
The people of Kentucky are represented in an Ohio paper to be so ardent for war, as to be actually preparing knapsacks for their march.
Portland,
Monday, October 12, 1807.
Latest from England.
WE have received verbal information by capt. Cowan, who arrived at this port on Wednesday last, in 31 days from Liverpool that the United States' ship Revenge , with dispatches from our Executive, arrived in England August 27. Tho' nothing official had transpired respecting the dispute with Great-Britain, hopes were entertained that all differences would be amicably adjusted. Unfortunately capt. C. brought no papers.
The Centinel of Saturday last, mentions that intelligence was received via Passamaquoddy, via Halifax per the Silvia Cutter, arrived there in 20 days from England, "that, all the points in dispute between the U. States and G. Britain were settled in a friendly manner, and that a cessation of hostilities had taken place between England and France." The Silvia , if there is any truth in this report, left England but two days later than capt. Cowan, who heard nothing of this great and good news. We have very little belief in the correctness of this Halifax account.
From the North of Europe.
Capt. Steele, who arrived at this port on Tuesday last, in 40 days from Amsterdam, informs, that it was reported and believed that Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, with the Danish fleet, together with the Island of Zealand, surrendered to Admiral Gambier, commanding the English fleet before that place, on the 20th of August. The English capture all Danish vessels.
Capt. S. was boarded by a cruiser in the North sea, in company with another, who informed him, that they had taken seven vessels the day before under Danish colors. The misunderstanding between the United States and England, had created much alarm among the Americans and merchants in Holland, who were concerned in trade with this country. The shippers of Goods fearing that a war would take place between the two countries, their property would of course be exposed to English privateers. Several American vessels have sailed in ballast. Business very dull.
We are informed that the English China fleet have sailed for England with only a small part of their cargoes; not having been able to settle the controversy which arose respecting the death of a Chinese.
COPENHAGEN SURRENDERED.
Capt. Pratt, arrived here from Amsterdam, which he left the 27th August, informs that while lying in the Texel, he received a letter from an American gentleman in Amsterdam, announcing to him, that on the 20th August, Copenhagen had surrendered to the British arms, without resort to hostilities. We also hear, that the conditions of the capitulation were that the Danish fleet, and forts should be held by the British until the conclusion of peace between England and France, and then be restored.—Capt. Pratt, also had the intelligence of the capitulation of the Danish capital from the Dutch Admiral, and other officers in the Texel.—Mr. Monroe had advised that American vessels in Holland, ready for sea, should return home north about; and that others should remain a short time to see the issue of the negotiation in England.
"We have to inform you, that the American Consul, Mr. Bourn, told us to day, that he had received a verbal message from Mr. Monroe, the American Minister in England, by which that gentleman advised that all American vessels that should be ready for sea should get off as soon as possible, North about; whereas those vessels that were not ready, should wait the turn of events."
BILDESHEIM, AUG. 2. Our principal city was the day before yesterday taken possession of in the name of the new King of Westphalia, amid the cries of "Long live King Jerome."
STRALSUND, AUG. 4. The garrison has been reinforced by a detachment of troops from Finland.
POMERANIA, AUG. 13. The preparations for the siege of Stralsund are in great maturity. The operations against this place have been much promoted by the result of a general engagement, which took place on the 6th, before the fortress. The Swedes were obliged to abandon all their advanced posts. They lost 4 or 500 men. The loss of the French was infinitely less. The Swedes keep up a vigorous fire. The French troops promise to be masters of Stralsund in 3 weeks. The King of Sweden has again proposed an accommodation; but his propositions were rejected. The garrison of Stralsund is estimated at 8000. The English troops are said to have re-embarked from Rugen.
It will afford much satisfaction to the friends of justice to know, that the notorious infamous Stephen Burroughs, manufacturer and whole-sale-dealer of counterfeit money, is once more in protection of the strong arms of the law. This plunderer of property was taken a short time since.
Charles Kilbourne, Esq. living in Stanstead, Canada, where Burroughs resided, and Mr. E. Bangs of Derby, Vermont, went in pursuit of him; on arriving at his house, he jumped from a window, and ran to the barn, where he was discovered in a room made under the hay. On Mr. Kilbourne's entering the retreat of Burroughs, the vil-
lan snapped a pistol several times at him, but it did not go off. He was sent under a strong guard for Montreal. A large amount in counterfeit bills was found in his possession, of Maine Bank, Cheshire Bank, Nantucket Pacific Bank, and the Farmer's Exchange Bank, at Gloucester, R. I. together with paper and instruments for making money.
FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
MR. ADAMS, SURELY the democrats have very treacherous memories, or they calculate upon the gross ignorance of the people, when they pretend that the political principles and measures of Mr. Jefferson are in unison with those of Gen. Washington. If any evidence were necessary to show the error of this assumption, we might refer to the fifth vol. of Judge Marshall's history lately published. This furnishes proofs sufficient to convince the most obstinate, that Gen. Washington and Mr. Jefferson did not agree on political subjects.
Those who have not leisure to read this volume, we would request to consider the following facts:—Gen. Washington was the decided, active and jealous advocate of the Federal Constitution: Mr. Jefferson disapproved of it, and represented it as a system of tyranny. The measures of Gen. Washington in favor of neutrality in 1794, were condemned by Mr. Jefferson. So also the attempts to negotiate with England, to preserve peace with that nation, and to check the insidious conduct of the French, who were desirous to engage us in a war against the British in their favor, were all opposed and censured by Mr. Jefferson and his party. And the very men who abused the illustrious Washington, while he was President, who misrepresented and condemned his wise policy, were the intimate friends of Mr. Jefferson, and shared his friendship and patronage at the very moment. If we look for the calumniators and revilers of Washington, in 1794, 95 & 96, we shall find them among the particular friends and associates of Jefferson, and on whom he has conferred official favor. The identical persons, whom a virtuous people & the friends of Washington must have viewed as deserving severe censure, have been patronised and caressed by President Jefferson. And many of those whom Gen. Washington placed in office were removed by the idol of democracy. Say then that Mr. Jefferson is a good Democrat, a good Jacobin, an advocate for French principles and an enemy to the British—All this may be true: We will not dispute it. But never let it be pretended, that Mr. Jefferson agreed with Gen. Washington as to political subjects; or that he approved of the wise measures of the administration of that Sainted Hero. And let it be further observed and remembered, that the conduct of President Adams, so severely condemned and so basely misrepresented by the whole democratic party, received the full and decided approbation of Gen.

A REAL REPUBLICAN.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We have received remarks, critical, burlesque and passionate on those nondescript communications in the Argus on the "Brown Tower" which appear to have been furnished under the operation of a disorder termed " cacethes scribendi ," which "literary quacks," are very subject to. Whatever may be the motive of our correspondents, it is well to remember that a mere "jumble of words" only, will never effect either good or evil.
"The itch of writing is an everlasting cure."
Several articles prepared for this day's paper are unavoidably omitted to give place to the favors of our advertising friends. We tender our acknowledgments for the increasing patronage given the Gazette. Sixty-three names have been added to the list of our subscribers in the course of the last and present month.

New Boarding House & Restorator 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 RESTORA- TOR; 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 use- fulness with economy; for as spirits are not to be used therein, and gaming disallowed, its usefulness 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 pleases, and pay for no more than he consumes. Excellent Wines and Cordials, good Soups and Broth, 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 found- ed on utility and convenience, and has been productive of great benefits in European Ci- ties, the subscriber contemplates the patron- age of the public, to merit which his best en- deavours shall be made, and his gratitude ac- knowledgement every favor. Private Parties will here find every accommodation. G. LABOTTIERRE. The Restorator will be open for the reception of company on the 10th inst. N B.—DANCING SCHOOL through the winter. 6w Oct. 5.

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 vessel plank, 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 cost of water, is 15 cent 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 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 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 out 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)
