FROM THE AURORA.
DUANE'S LETTER—No. II.
TO J. F. CALLENDER.
A CONTEST with you, places your adversary on very peculiar ground. To approach some animals is to be annoyed. Their feebleness excites pity, while their terror forbids contact. You unite the offensiveness of these animals with a combination of naughtiness and repulsive immorality, seldom found united in the human species. The most obvious truths do not always admit of demonstration. But these truths must be conceded by your warmest admirers.
On a question of mere fact, who is the man that would call on you as a creditable evidence? On some occasions, a simple fact may be brought into question by the death of a witness. But how deplorable must be the dependence of him who can obtain no evidence out of that of a man whose character is to all moral uses dead. To bring you as an evidence in support of fact, no man of ordinary discretion or decency would attempt—it would be introducing a cadaver to prove the existence of odor. What then must be your condition as evidence for yourself—who but the most depraved and callous of mankind would accept your testimony in your own case, when it would damn any other cause in which it should be employed.
Your 57th number has taught me to question, what I was disposed before to treat as a matter of fact. I have caught you, where I expected to catch you, trembling and shrinking into yourself—evading the truths which you ought to have noticed, and taking refuge in calumnies long refuted and exploded, instead of standing forth in defence of your conduct or denial of its atrocity.—You come forward with additional calumny on a character, whose charity you have already repaid, as you repaid Lord Gardoone.
This calumny, I shall now expose, and those who are your admirers will know you better. You had indirectly assumed to yourself the merit of a particular species of writing which constantly appeared in the Aurora during the latter part of 1797, and thenceforward with little intermission through 1798-9. I stated that you were not the writer of those articles, that you had not the capacity for such writings, and that your attempts were calculated to dishonor the paper and disserve republican principles.—You have not dared to notice or deny these assertions, but why, and how you have evaded them I shall now explain.
In 1793, I was employed by Mr. Bache, as his assistant, for a certain portion of each day, at ten dollars a week. The portion of service I was to render was wholly at my own discretion, and I was neither confined to place or time. The funds of the Aurora did not afford Mr. Bache the expenses of a frugal establishment:—nor of a family managed with exemplary economy. He had expended a fortune of more than 20,000 dollars, and was about to part with me through inability to make good the engagements entered into with me. He proposed as an alternative to raise a sum equal to my salary, by a contribution of a number of republicans living in Philadelphia, and on the spot drew up a written project with my consent. It was received with satisfaction and readily filled, and I continued in the transaction of his business as usual, being at the same period engaged in two other objects for publication, not of a political nature.—This was in the spring.
On an evening Mr. Bache requested to see me. He stated that he was about to give me a proof of his esteem in a very uncommon way, that was, by requesting me to relinquish the salary, in order to defeat the British minister Linton's overtures for the purchase of Callender —that society was already sufficiently disgraced by the grossness of Porcupine , that Callender added to him could not fail of ruining the morals and the decency of the press; the object was now to engage him for a time on the Aurora , and as nothing could be published without passing through Mr. Bache's hands, a check would be kept on his vulgarity, and the object of the agent of Linton would be defeated.
The frankness of the proposal and the manner of it gratified me—I cheerfully relinquished, and you, Mr. Callender, were inducted—into the Aurora office, instead of Mr. Linton's employment.
These transactions took place in May or June—When the Vice-President was not in Philadelphia, I was one of the first consulted, and I can say that his name was never mentioned on the occasion; the subscription was expressly confined to a few residents of Philadelphia, who have no cause to apprehend the publication of their names, as they have never deserted their political or moral principles—and who soon after refused to contribute if you were any longer kept.
You were not kept, for I returned to my former situation July 1798: Though during the six weeks, or thereabouts, that you were
employed, I through the medium of that letter-box, which you remember to forget, communicated those paragraphs which you very modestly wished to make the motive for the praise of a man, whose charity you have tortured into crime.
This is a simple statement of the principal facts involving your only connection as a writer with the Aurora . Your mode of stating it, furnishes an additional evidence of the incurable turpitude of your heart. To serve your present employers Mr. Jefferson must be attacked. You began it by insidiously impugning to him a desire to bribe, when he had refused you from the wretchedness which your detestable habits constantly involve you. The public have excised a character so insensible to emotions of gratitude. They are astonished at your inconsistency in imputing penury to any man who could bestow an hundred dollars on a being so miserable as you are.
But you have become sensible of the public indignation. You seek to cover one degree of turpitude by stepping deeper into crime. It is for this end that you have ventured to assert that Mr. Jefferson had contributed to your employment, and the various emoluments that accompany your tale, while the circumstances themselves prove your fallhood and render every thing you assert unworthy of credit. At the period of my engagement Mr. Jefferson was not in Philadelphia; I preceded you a considerable time and upon your dismissal I returned.—During all this period Mr. Jefferson was not in Philadelphia.
Your present occupation shows that whatever the British minister had conceived of the effects to be produced by paying you, he had not mistaken the presligy of your character. In more than one point you were suited to his views. Every means by which the American name and morals are debased, brings the nation into that state which is hostile to popular government. He employed Porcupine for this purpose. You declared Porcupine a prodigy, you envied his discernment, and proclaimed his success as an evidence that the gross indecency and vulgarity of style were alone calculated for the rale of America—you endeavored to rival Porcupine —but you surpassed him; the bloated iniquity of your countenance, the filth of your body, and the torments of a coward conscience, have transferred their united vileness into what you write—rendering you with strict propriety, the creature of all that is abandoned, and the natural enemy of all that is unlike yourself.

CALLENDER & HAMILTON The chaste and temperate Leaders of the Federal Faction.
From Callender's Work. "THE intemperate style of the convivial, & confidential communications of our ex-secretary, prohibits him from being regarded as any peculiar object of indulgence. For instance, he has often boasted of receiving letters from President Washington, with the word private wrote on the back of them, and a cross drawn over the seal. "After opening such a parcel," said Mr. Hamilton, what do you think were the contents?— Dear Hamilton, put this into style for me. Some speech or letter has been inclosed, which I wrote over again, sent it back, and the OLD DAMNED FOOL gave it away as his own. " Mr. Hamilton is not singular in using this style to General Washington. After the squabble between citizen Genet, John Jay, and Rufus King, the two latter sent a most insulting letter to the President. Randolph advised him to resent it. He had once resolved to do so; but altered his intention, from a jealousy that the writers were in concert with Hamilton, from whom he could not determine to disjoin himself. Jay and King wanted to obtain a certificate, which Mr. Jefferson had drawn up, relating to the behavior of citizen Genet. The President actually gave them the certificate, but it is thought that they found it not to their purpose; for it was suppressed. Jay and King, also, got back from the President their impertinent letter; of which, after cooling, they began to be ashamed. But a copy of it is in existence, and some hopes remain of its being obtained for publication. These particulars are derived from undoubted authority. They prove what was so fully stated in the American Annual Register, that the federal party despised the late President; that they took frequent opportunities of insulting him; and that they assumed the popularity of his name with no view but to serve their own ends."
[The following Communication from the Salem Register, is truly descriptive of several late numbers of the Newport Mercury. It applies with peculiar force to that paper of the 24th ult.—Any remarks upon it, would be useless.—The reader will compare and judge for himself.]
The Centinel of Saturday last is the most consummate digest of foul-mouthed abuse, low flattery, outrageous indecency, and illiterate calumny we ever recollect to have seen. This worthy competitor with the infamous Callender has excelled the very chastest effusions of the Billingstare muses. The whole paper is truly inimical—"none but itself can be its parallel." We wish that a new edition of its contents might be published and posted at every corner of the streets. It is a splendid specimen of the meekness, the delicacy, the wit, and, above all, the modesty of federalism. If daring profligacy, if presumptuous falsehood, if undecency, if the excellence, then has the Editor of the Centinel the most prominent merit. "Ferdinando Mendez was but a type of thee, thou liar of the first magnitude." Good God! is it possible the people of the United States, however prejudiced or ignorant, can relish, or favor such libelous productions? Is no sense of decorum left? Is no virtue remaining to cleanse this Augean stable? We wish, and we repeat it, that a new edition of the last Centinel may be published. We wish to know if there be left any sense of modesty or candor among federalists. It is impossible that the moderate men of that party can any longer protect such gross violations of public order and decency. We must have recourse to the lowest depths of corruption, or the indignation of all honest men of all parties will pursue this monster with implacable vengeance. They will lop off this fungus, which is cancerous even to deformity. Let it not be said that Americans are unworthy of the freedom they enjoy—that the abandoned, the debauched, and the gambling are the favorites of the public—that political opposition has destroyed morality, religion, and common sense.
We understand these tricks—it is a deep play. The federal gamblers stake every thing on the die. Their doctrine is, that by libelling every thing sacred, the people must soon be disgusted with liberty, and will willingly yield up their political rights to tyranny, rather than suffer the dreadful consequences of open assassination by the Pres. Save then yourselves, Americans, from your "worst enemies"—from the jacobins.
When scoundrelism stoops so low as to exult at the apostasy of Callender from republicanism, it proves beyond the testimony of a thousand witnesses that the cause it maintains is incapable of a generous and manly support. A few years since, it is said this very Callender arrived in this country, as a persecuted patriot from the old world, not only without "a second shirt to his back," but without a penny in his pocket. He had certainly some pretensions to merit as a writer, or our "first characters" would not now give him their countenance, and calculate on his aid as an important acquisition to their expiring influence. But in their eyes, we are sensible, that Callender must have some other charms. In fact he is the Judas of republicanism, and has attempted to betray the man who relieved him in a moment when there was not another person who would give him a shilling. These alluring qualifications have entitled this mendicant, in the estimation (to the honor of the country be it spoken) of but a small party, to all the consequence which treachery will not fail to bestow in their minds, on every deserter from the interests of honor and justice.
Callender will now be their idol, the very Dagon of aristocracy; and for a week or more, the pious devotees of royalty will make their pilgrimage to his shrine, in the fond hope of some new miracle being wrought in their favor. But alas! what Hamilton and Adams, what Porcupine and Liston have not been able to accom-
plish, Callender will attempt in vain. Federalism can have no new triumphs. It can never again cheat the war worn soldier of his pay, by a fraudulent system, which realized to the enemies of the revolution, those certificates which its friends had earned. It can never again reanimate the hopes of the wilder, by opening a second time the flood gates of speculation and swindling, by a paper bank, the scum of which for a while was the only commodity at market.
Under the administration of president Jefferson, the soldiers and sailors, " more or less ," will be at least paid the debt that is due to them. They will not be permitted to perish in want , by a pretended friend, that others may be enriched by the product of their labors! Common sense will not be prostrated to a corrupt theory , which sacrificed the substance of justice to a shadow: that those who had wasted their property in the service of their country, should by an ill contrived project, be almost the only persons who were not to profit by the American revolution. The present administration seems to make its appeal to the worst passions of the human heart. It reposes itself on the common interest of the uncorrupted merchant, farmer and manufacturer—these classes unite 18 twentieths of the actual strength of the community. The well disposed individuals who compose them, feel that every thing is right; and it is not the venal quill of Callender, or a thousand like him, that can persuade them to the contrary. While this miscreant has been base enough to give an act of charity the appearance of a bribe , what must we think of his credit?—He has covered his own character with eternal infamy, that he might possibly do a slight injury to that of his acknowledged patron.
(Boston Chron.) The federalists make a great rumpus about Callender's tale of Mr. Jefferson's giving him 100 dollars for writing the " Prospect ," in which Mr. Adams was handled.—They should recollect, that admitting Callender's statement to be true, the retaliation was far inadequate to the embassy with which Mr. Adams rewarded Smith for his indecent and abusive attack on the then vice president, in a series of letters under the signature of " Phocion ." (Boston Star.)
Foreign Articles. From London papers to July 17, received by the ship John Adams, arrived at Boston.
TURKEY. The force of Pashwan Oglou, the Turkish Rebel, continues to increase—and he grows daily more daring. He has lately advanced, and defeated small bodies of the Grand Signior's troops. It continues to be insinuated that Russia, Prussia, Austria and France, entertain a design to divide the Ottoman empire, among themselves. Their respective parts are mentioned; and it is conjectured Pashwan Oglou's formidable rebellion will furnish the pretext for the invasion of Turkey to prosecute the work of conquest and partition. The Austrians, it is said, have already advanced.
The Russians have commenced hostilities against the Persians—and have already taken one of their towns.
A commercial treaty is stated to be negotiating between England and France.

BOSTON, Aug. 31. WAR.
Mr. Hudson, who came passenger in the ship Columbus, which arrived yesterday in 45 days from Cadiz, informs us that the news of the postponement of the war between the Moors and the United States, was not credited at that place, as the Consul had received no intimation to that effect; and the United States Schooner Enterprise, Capt. Sterrett, arrived at that place July 15, several days after the news had been current, for the purpose of taking under convoy American vessels bound into the Straights to protect them against the Moors. The Enterprise was only two days from Gibraltar. Capt. Sterrett mentioned that there were two ships fitting out at Safax, a Moorish port in the Atlantic; and two launches at Teuan, but cannot fail till they receive their swivels from Tangiers, and it is difficult to get a vessel to bring them. The Moors had an agent at Gibraltar to purchase powder and balls.
MIDDLETOWN, (Con.) August 23.
On Wednesday last about 8 o'clock in the evening, Capt. Mosses Dickinson and wife, of Wethersfield, parish of Rocky-Hill, were drowned in attempting to come ashore from a vessel lying in the river opposite this City.—They were part of a large company going to Long Island. The circumstances of the disaster are said to be these. Capt. Dickinson stepped into a small boat and was receiving his wife into his arms from the vessel, when the motion of the boat or the weight of Mrs. Dickinson,
made him totter and fall into the river with her, and they both immediately sank. Only one person was on deck and spectator of the scene, the rest of the company being below at supper. Information was immediately given to the company and to the people on shore, and every exertion made to afford relief, but the body of Capt. Dickinson was not found until he had been in the water about two hours; and all efforts to find Mrs. Dickinson proved ineffectual until Saturday morning, when she was found floating down the river, about two miles below the city, by some people who were coming up in a boat. We are informed that they were about 30 years of age, and have left two children to lament their untimely fate.
SALEM, Aug. 30. From a Correspondent at Boston—Aug. 28.
The John Adams, Wood, has just arrived in 31 days from Liverpool. Her latest London papers, I hear, are to July 17. The election of Bonaparte for life has been completed—there were 20 or 30,000 votes for his having the right of naming his successor—Bread is less scarce in France than it has been—A new election of members of Parliament has occurred in England—Fox and Gardner are re-elected for Westminster—Windham is elected—Sheridan is re-elected—Sir Sidney Smith is elected—Schimmelpfennick is appointed by the Dutch government their minister to England.
Fine passages were made to Europe the latter part of June and beginning of July—All the vessels from this way in June, I believe, had arrived before the John Adams failed.
NEWPORT, Saturday, Sept. 4, 1802.
On Tuesday last, the Citizens of this town assembled at the State house for the purpose of bestowing their suffrages. It was to the true friends of their country a day replete with anxiety.—He who witnessed the scene, can alone conceive the deep and lively emotions, by which each and every honest hearted Republican was actuated. All personal animosities laid aside, they were absorbed by, and united in the one great common interest; and hand in hand " like a band of brothers joined ," they pressed on in solid columns to vindicate the faithful, and to sanction the principles of their fathers.—Such undaunted firmness; such intrepid adherence to conscientious conviction; such brilliant manifestations of magnanimity, and patriotism, have seldom transpired.—Though but small previous exertions had been made by the Republicans, still at the moment of trial, they, with very few exceptions, were found firm and united, ready, inflexible, and acquitted themselves to the interest, and glory of their country.
The following Gentlemen, (Republicans) were re-elected Deputies to the General Assembly without opposition, viz.
 CONSTANT TABER,  JOHN GARDINER,  NATHANIEL HAZARD,  THOMAS G. PITMAN,  JOSEPH BOSS, jun. and  PAUL M. MUMFORD. 
Accounts from different parts of the State inspire the most hopeful sentiments. Though the Town meetings in some of our towns have been rather disorderly, owing to a preponderance of federalism, still they are to be considered but as topical distempers, which a pure air will gradually remove.
STANTON & KNIGHT composed the Republican; and TILLINGHAST and POTTER the Federal Ticket for Members of Congress.—We have no doubt the Republican Ticket will succeed by more than a thousand majority.
The following is a statement of the majorities in the several Towns from which we have heard.
   Towns. Repub. Maj. Fed. Maj.     Newport, - - - 41 —   Portsmouth, - - - — 9   Middletown, - - - 36 —   Tiverton, - - - 134 —   Jamestown, - - - 7 —   New-Shoreham, - - - — 6   Providence, - - - — 120   Cranston, - - - 103 —   Scituate, - - - 117 —   Cumberland, - - - 100 —   South Kingstown, - - - — 62   North Kingstown, - - - 111 —   Charlestown, - - - 65 —   Exeter, - - - 86 —   Richmond, - - - - - 25 —   Hopkinton, - - - — 8   Westerly, - - - — 8   East Greenwich, - - - — 9   West Greenwich, - - - 28 —   Warwick, - - - 51 —   Bristol, - - - 13 —   917 222  
By the best information we can obtain from different parts of the State, it appears there will be a considerable acquisition to the Republican interest in the next General Assembly.
Wednesday last, the Anniversary Commencement of Rhode-Island College was celebrated at Providence.
Another Duel.
On Saturday the 31st July, about eleven o'clock, a duel was fought on the east bank of Savannah river, between Peter L. Van Allen, Esq. Solicitor general, and W. H. Crawford, Attorney at law.—They exchanged two fires; the first was without effect, but the second was fatal to the Solicitor. He received a ball about two inches, above his right hip, it passed thro' the Abdomen and lodged against his left hip bone, from whence it was extracted on the ground. He lived about 38 hours.
The Barbary Powers have not a very clear field for their depredations. The Portuguese are at war with the Algerines; the Neapolitans with the Tunisians; the Swedes and Americans with the Tripolites.
REMARKABLE! The wife of PHINEAS MEGGS, of Stanford (New-York) was, last week, brought to bed with four daughters. The children, though brought into the world alive, lived but a few hours. It is supposed that their birth was premature. (Poughkeepsie pap.)

THE HISTORY OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF JOHN ADAMS, LATE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

LINES—WROTE AT SEA. By an Emigrant.
ON the wide waves I seek the kindly shore Where PRIESTLY friend of man, is gone before; Blow ye propitious winds a fav'ring gale, And eastern breezes fill each swelling sail— Waft me where freedom, nymph of rosy hue, With buskin'd feet imprints the pearly dew— Where no proud TYRANT, with unbounded sway, Nods his commands, and trembling slaves obey; No swarms of pensioners, a sordid band, Those starving locusts of a starving land— No spendthrift LORDS, the monarch's supple tools, Dandled on fashion's lap, and turn'd out fools; No MIBLING SPIES, a despicable race, Meanly to mingle in each public place, To mar the glowing charms of social life— Break friendship's bonds, and set the world at strife.
Hail HARRY CLIMS! to thee from ev'ry land, Where cruel despots rule with iron hand, Virus oppressed shall from corruption fly, To share the blessings of thy genial sky; The sportive mule too, that delights to rove, Free as the sonlight of the vocal grove, On the gay plains her oaten reed shall fill— Sing the broad rivers, and each tow'ring hill— Thy Patriots names in faithful notes rehearse, And chaunt their virtues in immortal verse.
From a London Paper.
A CURIOUS COMBAT.
Two gentlemen of high birth, the one a Spaniard, and the other a German, having rendered Maximilian II many great services, they each for recompence demanded his natural daughter, Helena Scharfsemin, in marriage. The prince, who entertained equal respect for them both, could not give either of them the preference; and after much delay, he told them, that from the claims they both had to his attention and regard he could not give his assent to either of them to marry his daughter, and they must decide it by their own power and address; but as he did not wish to risk the loss of either, or both, by suffering them to fight with offensive weapons, he ordered a large bag to be brought, and he who was successful enough to put his rival in it, should obtain his daughter.
This strange combat between two gentlemen, was in the presence of the whole imperial court, and lasted near an hour.—At length the Spaniard yielded, and the German, Andre Aberhard, baron of Tatherr, when he had him in the bag, took him on his back, and placed him at the emperor's feet, and on the following day he married the beautiful Helena.
LATE OMISSIONS.
When BAYARD, the great champion of Federalism , declared, that if a majority of Congress should decide contrary to his construction of the Constitution, the Judges would resist the act by force of arms and a formidable party, of whom he would be one, would join their standard and commence a civil war; and even warned Republicans , if they had no regard for themselves, to have some mercy upon their wives and children; was there any other difference between his conduct and that of SHAYS in Massachusetts , than that the one only threatened what the other attempted to execute, for the same purpose, that of influencing a Legislature? A more outrageous and degrading example never occurred in any legislative assembly. It ought not to be forgotten or unnoticed. A party that can consent to follow such leaders, ought to be dressed in Blankets and literally armed with Tomahawks and Scalping knives.
On the 27th ult, pursuant to sentence of court, Dominic Cloris , lately found guilty of the murder of a young man of the name of Jones, was to be executed at the Prison-Yard, at Baltimore.
The sentence of death heretofore pronounced on Ebenezer Hand , now laying in Baltimore county goal, has, by the Governor of Maryland, at the request of the court of oyer and terminer and goal delivery, been committed to hard labor for life at the work-house of Baltimore county.
MASON, convicted of murder at the late session of the Supreme Court at Dedham, is to be executed on the 7th of October.
A discovery of very general importance has been lately made in respect to the culture of potatoes: it has been the common practice heretofore to raise this nourishing article of food from cutting and planting what is termed the eye of potatoes; but from several recent trials clusters of potatoes, each weighing from 20 to 22 ounces, have been produced from planting only the shoots or sprouts.
